Detailed Description

(embodiment mode 1)

Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a drainage device 10 according to embodiment 1 of the present disclosure. Fig. 2 is a block diagram of the drain device 10 in embodiment 1 of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 1, a drainage device 10 according to an example of the present disclosure includes a toilet bowl 1 and a toilet seat 2 as devices for draining. An ID (identification number) unique to the device (hereinafter, referred to as a device ID) is assigned to the excretory device 10. In addition, at least one of the toilet bowl 1 and the toilet seat 2 of the toilet stool 10 is provided with a switch sensor (i.e., a seating sensor 3) for detecting that a user is seated on the toilet seat 2, and an imaging head 4 as an imaging device for imaging the inside of the toilet bowl 1.

Fig. 3 is a block diagram of the server 101 and the user-side information processing apparatus 201 of the excreta state display system 100 in embodiment 1 of the present disclosure. The excrement state display system 100 according to the present embodiment is an excrement state display system in which the display unit 200 displays the state of excrement (including at least one of stool and urine) excreted to a user (e.g., a care recipient) of the toilet 1.

The excreta state display system 100 includes an excreta device 10 having a toilet 1, a server 101, and a user-side information processing device 201.

As described above, the drainage device 10 includes the toilet bowl 1 and the toilet seat 2. The excretory device 10 includes an imaging device (i.e., the imaging head 4), a switch sensor (i.e., the seating sensor 3), and a toilet-side information processing device (i.e., the control unit 5) in at least one of the toilet 1 and the toilet seat 2. The toilet-side information processing device includes a toilet-side storage unit, a toilet-side data transmission unit, and a toilet-side control unit.

The server 101 includes a server-side receiving unit, a server-side transmitting unit, a server-side storage unit, and a server-side control unit, as in a server that is generally used.

Examples of the server 101 are a general server on the internet, a server in a care facility, a server in a home, and the like.

The user-side information processing device 201 includes a display unit 200. The user-side information processing device 201 includes a user-side input unit, a user-side transmission unit, a user-side reception unit, a user-side storage unit, and a user-side control unit. Examples of the user-side information processing apparatus 201 are a personal computer, a tablet computer, a smartphone, and the like having a display.

The storage unit is a so-called memory. The control unit is a so-called central processing unit.

In the excrement state display system of the present embodiment, when the seating sensor 3 detects that the user is seated on the toilet seat 2, the imaging camera 4 starts imaging the inside of the toilet 1.

The control unit 5 disposed inside the toilet seat 2 activates the photographing head 4 upon receiving a seating signal from the seating sensor 3, and continues photographing while the user is seated on the toilet seat 2. The imaging interval is set at every 1 second at a predetermined interval in the present embodiment, but may be set to be greater than or equal to this interval and less than or equal to this interval. The captured image is saved in the control unit 5. In addition, the image name of the captured image is recorded with the shooting time. In addition, the image that is initially stored after the start of shooting is stored with an image name to which a text that can be determined is added. When the seating sensor 3 detects that the user is out of the seat from the toilet seat 2, the control unit 5 ends the photographing, and the photographed image is uploaded from the control unit 5 to the server 101.

As described above, in the excrement state display system 100 according to the present embodiment, when it is first detected by the seating sensor 3 that the user is seated on the toilet seat 2, the toilet side control unit controls the imaging device so that the imaging device starts imaging the inside of the toilet 1. Hereinafter, this imaging step is referred to as "t-imaging first step".

Next, the toilet stool side storage unit is controlled so that a plurality of captured images 502 (see fig. 12A to 12C) captured by the imaging device at predetermined time intervals are stored in the toilet stool side storage unit as captured image information 501 (see fig. 12A to 12C). In other words, the captured image information 501 is formed in the toilet-side storage unit by sequentially storing the captured images 502 from the camera in the toilet-side storage unit over time. As shown in fig. 12A to 12C, the captured image information 501 includes a plurality of captured images 502 and respective capturing times 503 of the plurality of captured images 502. Hereinafter, this processing step is referred to as "t-process first step".

Further, the toilet-side control unit controls the toilet-side data transmission unit to transmit the captured image information 501 to the server. Hereinafter, this transmission step is referred to as "t-transmission first step".

Finally, when the seating sensor 3 detects that the user is out of the toilet seat 2, the toilet-side control unit controls the imaging device to stop imaging in the toilet 1. Hereinafter, this stop step is referred to as "t-stop first step".

Fig. 3 is a block diagram of the excreta status display system 100 in embodiment 1 of the present disclosure.

In fig. 3, the server 101 has a urine presence/absence detection algorithm 102, a urine shape recognition algorithm 103, a urine color recognition algorithm 104, a urine amount recognition algorithm 105, a number of times of dropping of urine detection algorithm 106, a urine color recognition algorithm 107, a urine amount recognition algorithm 108, and a representative image selection algorithm 109.

The urine presence detection algorithm 102, the urine shape recognition algorithm 103, the urine color recognition algorithm 104, and the urine color recognition algorithm 107 introduce a plurality of images of excrement into each algorithm in advance, extract features from the images, and generate learning models that can reflect the features. Recognition algorithms with learning models mounted thereon are installed in the server 101 for the urine presence detection algorithm 102, the urine shape recognition algorithm 103, the urine color recognition algorithm 104, and the urine color recognition algorithm 107, respectively.

The stool volume recognition algorithm 105 calculates the area of the stool region from the image, and determines whether the stool region is more, less, or normal based on a threshold.

The number-of-falls detection algorithm 106 calculates the number of falls in one excretion from the image group indicating images from the start of shooting to the start of the next shooting, and can determine an image corresponding to one excretion by starting shooting and adding text to the image stored first. Since the image group also has the shooting time recorded therein, the images are analyzed in the order of the shooting time, and the number of changes in the stool region is counted to output the number of times of stool fall.

The urine volume recognition algorithm 108 introduces a plurality of images of the state where urine flows into the toilet 1 into the algorithm in advance, extracts features from the images, and generates a learning model that can reflect the features. The urine amount recognition algorithm 108 is a recognition algorithm loaded with a learning model in the server 101. Thus, the time during which urine flows is calculated, and the urine volume is estimated.

The representative image selection algorithm 109 selects an image immediately after the user's voiding action is completed, for example, an image immediately before paper (toilet paper or the like) is detected after urine and stool detection. Further, an image before a specific time from the time when the user is out of the seat may be selected as the representative image, or an image immediately before showering or washing with water may be selected as the representative image.

The urination and urination presence detection algorithm 102 determines whether the uploaded image includes excrement, at least one of stool and urine, paper, or nothing in the image.

Note that the feces and urine presence/absence detection algorithm 102, the feces shape recognition algorithm 103, the feces color recognition algorithm 104, and the urine color recognition algorithm 107 may detect excrement such as feces by means other than an image, for example, an infrared sensor or the like.

When the feces are determined to be present in the image by the feces presence/absence detection algorithm 102, the feces shape recognition algorithm 103 determines which type the feces belong to among the bristol index 7 types. Further, the stool color discrimination algorithm 104 determines whether the stool color is red, black, yellow, green, or gray. The color recognition algorithm 104 may determine colors other than red, black, yellow, green, and gray.

Further, the stool volume recognition algorithm 105 determines whether the stool volume is large, small, or normal. Further, the number of times of dropping of the stool is determined by the stool dropping frequency detection algorithm 106 from the image group until the user gets out of the seat next after sitting on the seat.

When it is determined that urine is reflected in the image, the urine color recognition algorithm 107 determines whether the color of the urine is yellow or red.

Further, the urine volume is determined by the urine volume recognition algorithm 108 from the image group of the user from sitting to the next sitting.

Further, the representative image selection algorithm 109 selects a representative image from the image group from when the user sits down to when he leaves the seat.

The server 101 includes a database 110 for storing the above determination results.

As described above, in the excreta state display system 100 of embodiment 1, first, the server-side control unit controls the server-side receiving unit to receive the captured image information 501. Hereinafter, this reception step is referred to as "s-reception first step".

Next, the excrement status display system 100 estimates excrement (including feces and urine) from at least one captured image 502 included in the captured image information 501 based on the algorithm described above. More specifically, the presence or absence, state, and the like of excrement are estimated. Here, the server-side control unit estimates at least the next event based on the urination/absence detection algorithm 102, the urination shape recognition algorithm 103, the urination amount recognition algorithm 105, and the urine amount recognition algorithm 108. That is, the server-side control unit estimates the presence or absence of stool, the shape, the amount, and the urine volume of the user from at least one captured image 502 included in the captured image information 501 received via the server-side receiving unit, as stool presence or absence estimation information, a stool estimation shape, a stool estimation amount, urine presence or absence estimation information, and a urine estimation amount, respectively. Hereinafter, this estimation step is referred to as "s-processing first step".

Next, the server-side control unit selects, as a representative image, at least one image within a predetermined time period, for example, a period from the end of the excretion action of the user to the detection of toilet paper in the toilet 1, from the plurality of captured images 502 included in the received captured image information 501, based on the representative image selection algorithm 109 using the capturing time 503. Hereinafter, this selection step is referred to as "s-process second step".

As shown in fig. 12A, the captured image information 501 contains a plurality of captured images. In the present embodiment, the captured image information 501 has 4 captured

images

502 and 4 capturing times 503. Only a part of stool is reflected in the lowest captured image 502 in fig. 12A. This is because the user discards toilet paper in the toilet 1 and a part of the feces is covered by the toilet paper from the imaging device. Therefore, with regard to the captured image information 501 shown in fig. 12A, the third captured image 502 from the top is selected as the representative image. In fig. 12A, the second captured image 502 at the top or from the top may be selected as the representative image. This is also the same in fig. 12B and 12C.

The order of s processing the first step and s processing the second step is not limited. The first step of s-treatment may be performed first, followed by the second step of s-treatment. Alternatively, the second step of s-treatment may be performed first, followed by the first step of s-treatment.

In this way, the additional information imaging information 601 shown in fig. 13 is formed by the server-side control unit. As shown in fig. 13, the additional information captured information 601 includes (a) the received captured image information 501, (b) estimated presence/absence of stool, (c) the estimated stool shape, (d) the estimated stool amount, (e) estimated presence/absence of urine, (f) the estimated urine amount, and (g) the selected representative image.

Finally, the server-side control unit controls the server-side storage unit to store the additional information imaging information 601 in the server-side storage unit. This control step is referred to as "s-store first step".

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of the user-side information processing apparatus 201 according to embodiment 1.

The excreta state display system 100 includes a user-side information processing device 201 for confirming the determination result as shown in fig. 4. The viewer can confirm the determination result by the user-side information processing apparatus 201 by inputting the device ID of the excretory device 10 and the date on which the determination result is to be confirmed on the internet website or application.

When the viewer inputs the device ID and date, the user-side information processing apparatus 201 acquires the corresponding determination result from the database 110 and downloads the result as text or csv-format data 202 (see fig. 3). The user-side information processing device 201 displays the device ID, or displays the installation location of the excretory device 10, for example, a room number or an address, or displays the name of the user using the excretory device 10 (not shown) when the device ID can be correlated with the device ID. The user-side information processing apparatus 201 reads the determination result from the data 202, and the graph 203 in the user-side information processing apparatus 201 illustrates: the time when the user sits on the toilet seat 2, when to excrete, whether the excretion is feces or urine, and if the excretion is feces, what type of bristol index 7 is the shape at that time, the color of the feces, the amount of feces, the number of times of dropping of the feces, and the like. If it is urine, the color of urine and the urine amount are illustrated on the graph 203 in the user-side information processing apparatus 201.

Graph 203 is composed of three-level graphs with the horizontal axis representing the time point of 0:00:00 to 23:59: 59. For example, in the first upper stage of the graph 203 in fig. 4, the time when the user sits on the toilet seat 2 from the shooting time recorded in the image name is displayed by a rectangular wave.

In the other of the three levels of the graph 203, the imaging time recorded in the image determined as urine by the detection of the presence or absence of urine is read, and the presence or absence of urine and the urine volume corresponding to the read imaging time are displayed in a bar-like graph. In this case, the graph may be displayed in the same color as the urine color determination result, or may be displayed with the height of the bar-shaped graph changed according to the urine volume. As shown in fig. 5, the urine color and the urine volume may be displayed in text form in the graph of the graph 203. As shown in fig. 6, text may be displayed in the form of a comment in the vicinity of the graph 203.

Further, in the other of the three stages of the graph 203, the imaging time recorded in the image determined as stool by the urine and stool presence/absence detection algorithm 102 is read, and the presence/absence and amount of stool corresponding to the read imaging time is displayed in the graph 203 as a bar-shaped graph. In this case, the stool shape recognition determination result may be displayed as a graphic in the form of text, or the bristol index may be displayed as a graphic in the form of an icon that simulates the shape of the stool. The graph may be displayed in the same color as the stool color determination result, or may be displayed with the height of the bar-shaped graph changed according to the stool volume. In addition, the stool color, the stool volume, and the number of times of stool fall may be displayed as text in the graph of the graph 203. In addition, text may be displayed in the form of annotations in the vicinity of the graph of the chart 203.

As shown in fig. 7, the user-side information processing device 201 according to the present embodiment can display an image that is a basis of the determination result by selecting a figure indicating the determination result displayed on the graph 203 by clicking, touching, or the like. In addition, the image may be initially displayed on the graph 203. The image displayed at this time may be displayed in a form in which a window different from the graph pops up as the image display area 204, or may be displayed in the image display area 204 provided in the same window as the graph 203 as shown in fig. 8. In this case, the displayed image shows the image selected by the representative image selection algorithm 109.

As described above, in the excreta state display system 100 according to embodiment 1, first, the user-side control unit acquires, via the user-side input unit, at least one of the date when a viewer (for example, a caregiver in a care facility) who views the state of the excreta of the user wants to display the state of the excreta (for example, the state of the excreta of a care recipient in the care facility) on the display unit 200 and the device ID of the excreta device 10. This control step is referred to as "u input first step".

Next, the user-side control unit controls the user-side transmission unit to transmit at least one of the date and the device ID to the server 101. This transmission is referred to as "u transmission first step".

The server-side control unit controls the server-side reception unit to receive at least one of the date and the device ID transmitted from the user-side transmission unit. This receiving step is referred to as "s-receive first step".

The server-side control unit selects, as the intra-period imaging information, the additional information imaging information 601 including the imaging day within a predetermined period from the additional information imaging information 601 stored in the server-side storage unit, based on at least one of the date and the device ID. This selected step is referred to as "s-process third step".

A specific example of the third step of the s-process will be described. Here, the predetermined period is "3 days". The viewer inputs "10 months and 02 days in 2020" from the user-side input unit. That is, the user-side control unit acquires "10/02/2020 as the date via the user-side input unit.

In 2 days before and after "2020, 10 months and 02 days" (that is, 3 days from 10 months and 01 days to 03 days in 2020) of the captured image information 501 in fig. 12A to 12C, the captured image information 501 as the excrement excreted by the excretory device 10 corresponding to the specified device ID is included in fig. 12A and 12B. On the other hand, the shot image information 501 as shown in fig. 12C is not included in the preceding and following 3 days. Therefore, the server-side control unit selects 2 pieces of captured image information 501 as shown in fig. 12A and 12B as the intra-period captured image information. Fig. 12C shows captured image information 501 captured on 04 th 10 th 2020, and therefore is not selected as intra-period captured information in this specific example.

The server-side control unit controls the server-side transmission unit to transmit the intra-period imaging information to the user-side information processing device 201. This transmission step is referred to as "s transmission first step".

The user side control part controls the user side receiving part to receive the shooting information in the period. This receiving step is referred to as "u receiving first step".

The user-side control unit controls the display unit 200 such that the display unit 200 displays the selected representative image, which is included in the intra-period imaging information received by the user-side receiving unit, the (b) estimated stool presence/absence information, (c) the estimated stool shape, (d) the estimated stool amount, (e) the estimated urine presence/absence information, (f) the estimated urine amount, and (g). This display step is referred to as "u display first step".

As described above, in the excrement state display system 100 according to embodiment 1 of the present disclosure, since the estimated presence or absence of feces, the estimated shape of feces, the estimated amount of feces, the estimated amount of urine, and the selected representative image are displayed on the display unit 200 of the user-side information processing device 201, the viewer (e.g., a caregiver) can easily recognize the state of excrement of the user (e.g., a care recipient). Therefore, according to the excreta state display system and the excreta state display method of the present disclosure, the health state of the user can be easily grasped even from a remote location. The state of the excrement of the user is not limited to the presence or absence of feces, and the amount, color, and shape of the feces. The user's state of stool also includes the following states: the cases where there is no defecation for several days, and the cases where there is defecation which is a fixed stool like type 1 or type 2 in the bristol index, a stool which is small in the amount of defecation, or a hard ball shape in which the number of times of dropping of the stool is large and small, continue for several days, and the like. Such a state cannot be estimated only from an image taken of excrement, and can be realized by the excrement state display system 100 and the excrement state display method of the present disclosure described above.

In addition, the determination results in the above various recognition algorithms are premised on high accuracy, but the determination results output by the algorithms are not limited to 100% correct. The user-side information processing apparatus 201 according to the present embodiment can display an image that is a basis of the determination result, and can correct the determination result displayed in the graph 203 on the user-side information processing apparatus 201 when the determination result by the recognition algorithm is different from the determination result visually confirmed by the viewer. The user-side information processing device 201 according to the present embodiment can display an image that is the basis of the determination result, and as shown in fig. 9, a determination result display box 205 in which a determination result text is input is provided below or around the displayed image. A drop-down box 206 may be provided beside the decision result display box 205. The drop-down box 206 is clicked or touched to display a list of determination results. By clicking or touching the determination result confirmed by the user, the determination result displayed in the determination result display box 205 can be corrected. At this time, the graph showing the determination result displayed on the graph 203 is also shown anew according to the correction content.

In addition, in various recognition algorithms, when the output determination result is erroneous, the erroneous image is additionally learned to further improve the recognition accuracy, and therefore, the representative image is very important. In general, in order to improve the accuracy of an image-based recognition algorithm, a large number of images to which correct labels are added are required, but even if an image that can be determined is relearned, the effect is not significant, and it is preferable to add correct labels to erroneously determined images and perform relearning.

As shown in fig. 11, the user-side information processing apparatus 201 according to the present embodiment transmits the image information of which the viewer has corrected the determination result to the server 101, and adds the corrected determination result to the database 110 in addition to the information that the corresponding image has been corrected. When the recognition algorithm is relearned, the image used for learning is selected based on the correction information, and thus the recognition performance can be further improved efficiently.

As described above, in the excreta state display system 100 according to embodiment 1 of the present disclosure, the user-side control unit acquires, via the user-side input unit, correction information for correcting at least one of (b) the estimated presence or absence of feces, (c) the estimated shape of feces, (d) the estimated amount of feces, (e) the estimated presence or absence of urine, and (f) the estimated amount of urine displayed on the display unit 200. Hereinafter, this input step is referred to as "u correction input first step".
