Abstract

In a self-sufficient home emergency warning system, the user needs not carry any signalling devices. A critical situation can be reported to an external receiver by voice input via microphones (1, 2, 3) linked to a communications interface (11). Moreover, a person (4) can be monitored by sensor systems (6, 7, 8) which can also establish an external connection via the communications interface (11).

Description

Im Falle eines Notfalls, einer schweren Erkrankung oder eines Unfalls in der eigenen Wohnung müssen allein lebende Menschen externe Hilfe herbeirufen, in der Regel telefonisch durch Anruf bei Verwandten, einem Arzt oder einem Notrufzentrum. Es gibt viele Situationen, in denen dies den Betroffenen nicht mehr ohne weiteres möglich ist, beispielsweise weil sie das Telefon (nach Sturz) nicht mehr erreichen können oder nicht mehr entsprechend zielgerichtet handeln können (bei Bewußtlosigkeit oder wegen geistiger Verwirrung). Die Betroffenen sind dann hilflos in der eigenen Wohnung und müssen unter Umständen sehr lange auf Hilfe warten.In the event of an emergency, serious illness, or Accidents in your own home must be for people living alone Call for external help, usually by phone with relatives, a doctor or an emergency call center. It there are many situations in which this does not affect those affected is more easily possible, for example because it is Not able to reach the phone (after a fall) or not more able to act accordingly (in the event of unconsciousness or because of mental confusion). The affected are then helpless in their own home and may have to wait very long for help.

Es existieren verschiedene Notrufsysteme für den Heimgebrauch, bei denen eine Signaleinrichtung, beispielsweise ein Alarmknopf, am Körper getragen werden muß. Bei Betätigung dieses Alarmknopfes wird von der zugehörigen Empfängerstation, die in der Regel mit dem Telefon gekoppelt ist, ein Alarmruf an eine vorgegebene Nummer ausgelöst. Dies hat zwei gravierende Nachteile:There are various emergency call systems for home use, where a signal device, for example a Alarm button, must be worn on the body. When actuated this alarm button is from the associated receiver station, which is usually paired with the phone Alarm call triggered to a specified number. This has two serious disadvantages:

Erstens muß die Signaleinrichtung immer mit sich geführt werden, beispielsweise gerade auch im Bad (Unfallschwerpunkt). Dies setzt auch voraus, daß bei dem Betroffenen ein entsprechendes Problembewußtsein vorhanden ist (Eingestandnis der eigenen Hilfsbedürftigkeit).First, the signaling device must always be carried for example, especially in the bathroom (focus of accidents). This also presupposes that the person concerned has a corresponding one There is awareness of the problem (admission of the own need of help).

Zweitens ist immer eine aktive Mitwirkung des Benutzers notwendig. Dies ist problematisch beispielsweise bei Bewußtlosigkeit oder geistiger Verwirrung.Second, active user participation is always necessary. This is problematic for example in the case of unconsciousness or mental confusion.

Weiterhin ist aus der DE 29 22 542 A1 ein Sicherheitssystem zur Überwachung von Einzelpersonen bekannt, bei der eine an dem Körper einer Einzelperson zu tragende Vorrichtung ein vom Puls der Einzelperson abgeleitetes Signal mit einem in zeitlicher Folge einstellbaren Signal gemeinsam überwacht und beim Ausbleiben eines dieser Signale ein Kennzeichen an die Einzelperson sendet. Wird dieses Kennzeichen nicht gelöscht, wird ein Notruf an eine Zentrale gesendet. Auch in diesem Falle muß die Vorrichtung immer am Körper getragen werden, so daß eine fortdaurnde Überwachung nicht immer gewahrleistet ist.Furthermore, DE 29 22 542 A1 describes a security system known for the surveillance of individuals at which one device to be worn on the body of an individual Pulse of the individual derived signal with a in temporal Follow adjustable signal jointly monitored and if one of these signals is absent, an indicator is sent to the Individual sends. If this indicator is not deleted, an emergency call is sent to a control center. Also in this In case the device must always be worn on the body, so that ongoing surveillance does not always ensure is.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Notfall-Überwachungssystem der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß der Benutzer ohne Signaleinrichtungen am Körper im Bedarfsfall leicht Alarm auslösen kann.The invention has for its object an emergency monitoring system of the type mentioned in such a way that the user without signal devices on the body if necessary can easily trigger alarm.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1. Die Erfindung ist ein vollständig autarkes Notfall-Überwachungssystem, d.h. ein Notfall-Überwachungssystem, bei dem der Benutzer innerhalb des gesamten Bereiches beispielsweise seiner Wohnung keinerlei Signaleinrichtungen mit sich führen muß, mit dem er aber trotzdem immer und von überall einen Alarm auslösen kann und das außerdem gewisse typische Notfallsituationen automatisch und selbständig erkennt und entsprechend reagiert. Das System erlaubt es, bei Bedarf einen Alarm (Notfallmeldung) an eine beliebige empfangende Stelle, beispielsweise Verwandte, Hausarzt, Notrufzentrum, zu senden. Zur Übertragung der Alarme kann das System mit dem Telefon gekoppelt werden bzw. optional durch ein integriertes Interface auch direkt an beliebige Übertragungsstrecken angeschlossen werden.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of claim 1. The invention is a complete self-sufficient emergency monitoring system, i.e. an emergency surveillance system, where the user within the entire Area of his apartment, for example, no signaling devices with him, but with whom he always does and can trigger an alarm from anywhere and that too certain typical emergency situations automatically and independently recognizes and responds accordingly. The system allows it, if necessary, an alarm (emergency message) to any receiving agency, e.g. relatives, family doctor, emergency call center, to send. This can be used to transmit the alarms System can be paired with the phone or optionally through an integrated interface also directly to any transmission link be connected.

Es hat sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die Signalaufnehmer stationär angeordnet sind. Dabei können die Signalaufnehmer Mikrophonsysteme, die an einer Befehlserkennungsstufe angeschlossen sind, oder Sensorsysteme für die drahtlose Ortung der Person sein, die an einer Stufe für die Positions- und Bewegungsanalyse angeschlossen sind, wobei die Stufen mit dem Kommunikations-Interface verbunden sind. It has proven to be advantageous if the signal pickups are arranged stationary. The signal pickups Microphone systems connected to a command detection level are, or sensor systems for wireless location be the person at a level for positional and Motion analysis are connected, the stages with the Communication interface are connected.

Die Vorrichtung kann erfindungsgemaß eine externe Verbindung erst nach entsprechender Rückmeldung durch die Person oder nach fehlender Rückmeldung aufgebaut werden.According to the invention, the device can have an external connection only after appropriate feedback from the person or be set up after no feedback.

Die Erfindung ist nachfolgend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The invention is based on one in the drawing illustrated embodiment explained in more detail.

In der Zeichnung sind Mikrophonsysteme 1 bis 3 dargestellt, die die gesamte Wohnung einer Person 4 erfassen können und an einer Befehlserkennungsstufe 5 angeschlossen sind. Ferner sind Sensorsysteme 6 bis 8 vorgesehen, die beispielsweise auf der Basis von Infrarotstrahlung oder Radarstrahlung arbeiten und ebenfalls die gesamte Wohnung erfassen können. Die Sensorsysteme 6, 7, 8 sind an einer Positions- und Bewegungsanalysestufe 9 angeschlossen. Ferner sind eine Voralarmstufe 10, ein Kommunikationsinterface 11, eine Rückmeldungsstufe 12 für die Person 4 auf optischer oder akustischer Basis und eine Verbindung 13 zu einem externen Empfänger, beispielsweise über die Telefonleitung, vorgesehen.Microphone systems 1 to 3 are shown in the drawing, that can capture the entire apartment of a person 4 and on a command detection level 5 are connected. Further sensor systems 6 to 8 are provided, for example on work on the basis of infrared radiation or radar radiation and can also capture the entire apartment. The sensor systems 6, 7, 8 are at a position and motion analysis stage 9 connected. There are also a pre-alarm level 10, a communication interface 11, a feedback stage 12 for the person 4 on an optical or acoustic basis and one Connection 13 to an external receiver, for example over the telephone line.

Kern des Systems sind zwei Komponenten.

  • 1. Ein durch Sprache aktivierbares Notrufsystem.
    Dieses System reagiert auf Spracheingabe über die Mikrophonsysteme 1 bis 3 und erkennt bestimmte Schlüsselwörter, um einen Alarm auszulösen. Optimal kann durch dieses System (Mikrophonsysteme 1 bis 3 und Lautsprecher) auch im Alarmfall eine Sprechverbindung zwischen Anrufer (Benutzer, Person 4) und Angerufenem (z.B. Notfallzentrale) aufgebaut werden. Das System ist modular so aufgebaut, daß Mikrophone (und Lautsprecher) in jedem Raum der Wohnung installiert werden können, so daß eine Alarmauslösung rein durch Sprache von jedem Platz der Wohnung aus möglich ist, ohne daß die Person 4 ein Gerät (Telefon) erreichen muß. Dies ist beispielsweise wichtig, wenn die Person 4 nach einem Sturz bewegungsunfähig auf dem Boden liegt.
  • 2. Eine automatische Überwachung der Wohnung mit geeigneten Sensorsystemen 6 bis 8 zur Lokalisation von Personen. Mögliche Sensorprinzipien sind beispielsweise Infrarotoder hochfrequente elektromagnetische Wellen. Personen können beispielsweise anhand der Wärmestrahlung oder anhand von typischen Bewegungsmustern (z.B. Herzschlag, Atmung/Motorik) detektiert werden. Die Sensoren können modular so installiert werden, daß eine Überwachung der gesamten Wohnung möglich ist. Zur Erkennung von Notfallsituationen werden die Meßwerte geeignet verarbeitet. Mögliche Verarbeitungsschemata sind beispielsweise:
  • a) In der Wohnung werden Bereiche definiert, in denen kein längerer Aufenthalt zu erwarten ist, beispielsweise auf dem Fußboden. Befindet sich die Person 4 fur längere Zeit (mehrere Minuten) in einem dieser Bereiche, so wird ein Voralarm ausgelöst.
  • b) Es wird ein Bewegungs-, Aktivitäts- und/oder Aufenthaltsprofil erstellt. Weicht dieses Profil auffällig vom Normalverhalten ab, beispielsweise stark verminderte Bewegung über längeren Zeitraum bei tiefer Bewußtlosigkeit oder schwerer Krankheit, so wird ein Voralarm ausgelöst.
    • The system is based on two components.
  • 1. An emergency call system that can be activated by voice.
    This system responds to voice input via microphone systems 1 to 3 and recognizes certain key words to trigger an alarm. This system (microphone systems 1 to 3 and loudspeaker) can optimally establish a voice connection between the caller (user, person 4) and the called party (eg emergency center) even in the event of an alarm. The system is modular so that microphones (and loudspeakers) can be installed in every room of the apartment, so that an alarm can be triggered purely by voice from any place in the apartment without the person 4 having to reach a device (telephone) . This is important, for example, if the person 4 lies motionless on the floor after a fall.
  • 2. Automatic monitoring of the apartment with suitable sensor systems 6 to 8 for the localization of people. Possible sensor principles are, for example, infrared or high-frequency electromagnetic waves. People can be detected, for example, using heat radiation or using typical movement patterns (e.g. heartbeat, breathing / motor skills). The sensors can be installed modularly so that the entire apartment can be monitored. The measured values are processed appropriately to detect emergency situations. Possible processing schemes are, for example:
  • a) Areas are defined in the apartment in which a longer stay is not expected, for example on the floor. If the person 4 is in one of these areas for a long time (several minutes), a pre-alarm is triggered.
  • b) A movement, activity and / or stay profile is created. If this profile deviates conspicuously from normal behavior, for example, greatly reduced movement over a longer period of time with deep loss of consciousness or serious illness, a pre-alarm is triggered.

    • Die automatische Uberwachung kann mit dem Voralarm kombiniert werden, d.h. das System signalisiert der Person 4 über die Rückmeldungsstufe 12 die Erkennung eines ungewöhnlichen Zustands durch optische oder akustische Mittel. Die Person 4 hat dann Gelegenheit, den Alarm zu deaktivieren, beispielsweise durch Verhaltungsänderung oder Sprachbefehle. Erst wenn keine Reaktion erfolgt, wird ein Alarm nach außen ausgelöst. Die Person 4 kann aber auch durch entsprechende Signalgebung sofort einen gezielten Alarm auslösen. Automatic monitoring can be combined with the pre-alarm become, i.e. the system signals person 4 via the Feedback level 12 the detection of an unusual condition by optical or acoustic means. Person 4 then has the opportunity to deactivate the alarm, for example through behavior change or voice commands. Only when If there is no reaction, an external alarm is triggered. The person 4 can also by appropriate signaling immediately trigger a targeted alarm.

    Der erfinderische Schritt ist die Kombination von vorhandenen Technologien aus anderen Bereichen der Hausautomatisierung zu einem vollständig autarken Notfall-Überwachungssystem, d.h., einem Notfallüberwachungssystem, bei dem der Benutzer keinerlei Signaleinrichtungen mit sich führen muß.The inventive step is the combination of existing ones Technologies from other areas of home automation too a fully self-sufficient emergency monitoring system, i.e. an emergency monitoring system in which the user does not have any Signal devices must carry with them.
