Definitions
- This invention relates to stairlifts and has been devised, in particular, to provide a monitoring method and apparatus associated with a stairlift.
- Stairlifts are, in many instances, installed in residential properties for use by people having a physical impairment, but who wish to remain living independently.
- a user's desire for independence is countered by concern on the part of family, friends and/or care-providers that the user is safe and well, and not in need of external assistance.
- WO03/098908 presents a method and system for remote asset management with the intention of providing the basis for a diverse product group.
- WO2010/141865 discloses methods and systems for lift monitoring.
- WO2007/045837 discloses a system for monitoring a fault in a mobility aid including a fault detector for detecting a fault.
- a signal generator is provided for generating a signal representative of the fault which is wirelessly transmitted to a remote location. The person controlling the mobility aid, if unable to move, request assistance or call for help, thus may be able to alert a third party to the problem.
- WO2006/109050 discloses a monitoring system for monitoring an apparatus for raising and lowering a person such as an adjustable furniture weight item or a hoist.
- the monitoring system comprises a memory for recording information relating to the history of the monitored apparatus.
- the memory may record periods when power supply to an actuator of the apparatus exceeds a predefined threshold, and the number of operations performed by the apparatus. When the number of operations reaches a predetermined amount the system can inhibit operation of the device. This means that the apparatus can prevent a user from using apparatus beyond a point that a maintenance service is recommended.
- the invention provides a method of monitoring a stairlift user as defined in claim 1.
- Preferably said method includes generating a signal for reception at a remote location in the event of a change in the position of said carriage on said rail.
- Preferably said method includes generating a signal for reception at a remote location as to the position of said carriage on said rail at regular time intervals.
- the method further comprises generating a signal for reception at a remote location representative of the number of carriage movements in a prescribed time or the fact there have been no movements for a prescribed time.
- said signals are transmitted to said remote location, at least in part, wirelessly.
- Said method may comprise transmitting data associated with said signal(s) to authenticated devices over the internet using Hypertext Transfer Protocol or other suitable data transfer protocols.
- a facility is provided to monitor ambient conditions in the proximity of the stairlift and/or to monitor one or more physiological parameters of a user while using said stairlift, said method comprising generating one or more signals representative of said ambient conditions and/or said physiological parameters and transmitting said signals to a remote location.
- the invention provides a system for monitoring a stairlift user as defined in claim 8.
- the present invention relates to a system for monitoring a stairlift user by monitoring the activity of a stairlift used by that user.
- Stairlifts are commonly installed in residences occupied by persons having a degree of infirmity.
- the stairlift enhances the mobility of the user and enables the user to address a number of the consequences of their infirmity. Once installed, the stairlift quickly becomes a part of the user's life with the stairlift's movements reflecting the rhythms of the user's activity.
- a stairlift is installed to enable a user to continue living independently in their own home. Whilst this is of benefit to the stairlift user, family, friends and/or care-providers inevitably want assurance that the user is safe and able to function effectively when on their own.
- the present invention provides a method and system to not only endorse a stairlift user's desire for independence, but also to address the concerns of family, friends and/or care-providers.
- a typical stairlift comprises a carriage 10 mounted on a rail 11 for movement along the rail between an upper end 12 and a lower end 13.
- the carriage includes a motor/gearbox unit 14 having a pinion 15 on the output thereof.
- the pinion engages a rack 16 extending along the underside of the rail.
- Mounted at each end of the rail 11 are limit switches 17. When engaged by the carriage as it reaches an end of the rail, the switches 17 cut power to the motor/gearbox 14.
- a chair 20 is mounted on the carriage 10 to accommodate a stairlift user.
- the chair 20 includes a chair base 21, a chair back 22, two spaced armrests 23 and a footrest 24.
- a hand control 25 is mounted on one of the armrests to allow the user to control movement of the carriage up and down the rail.
- ECU electronice control unit
- a monitoring system is applied to the stairlift to report information based on the position of the carriage 10 on the rail 11 and/or the activity of the carriage 10. For example, the system can generate an alert every time the carriage changes position and comes to rest. Alternatively, or in addition, the system can generate an alert reporting the position of the carriage at regular time intervals or at one or more prescribed times. Alternatively or in addition, the system might report the number of carriage movements in a prescribed time or the fact that there have been no movements for a prescribed time period.
- the system may report information relating to the ambient surroundings of the stairlift and/or the health of user.
- the system might be configured to generate data in a form so as to report a number of ambient conditions such as temperature, light level, carbon monoxide level, methane level, smoke presence, movement and/or a number of user parameters such as weight, temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate and/or galvanic response.
- the position of the carriage on the rail can be determined in any known manner including by the use of switches mounted on the rail 11 that are triggered when engaged by the carriage 10. Switches 17 could be used to determine the presence of the carriage at either end of the rail. Other position sensing technologies could include (but not be limited to) reed switches, mechanically actuated switches, ultrasound proximity sensors, optical-based sensors and near field identification systems. Position could also be determined by monitoring the rotation of the pinion 15 in a manner described in our European Patent No. 0 738 232 .
- a clock 27 may be incorporated in or associated with the ECU 26 to measure the time elapsing between stairlift movements and/or to record the number of carriage movements occurring within a prescribed period.
- the system is preferably configured to generate an alert in the event that the carriage changes position on the rail and/or after a prescribed period of time, say every five minutes, whether or not the carriage has moved.
- Other variations are within the scope of the invention including generating alerts of the position of the rail at one or more prescribed times during the day, and generating an alert in the event that the number of carriage movements in a prescribed period are less than a prescribed number.
- the system may include sensors 28 of any known form to collect data on the ambient conditions and to generate data representative of those conditions.
- the chair 20 may include sensors 29 in the chair base, backrest and/or armrests to capture user physiological data and to generate signals representative of that data.
- Signals from the ECU 26, clock 27 and the position sensors are preferably collected in a micro controller 30 located in, or within the near vicinity of, the stairlift.
- the micro controller 30 may also collect data from the ambient surroundings sensors 28 and from the user physiological data sensors 29. Data from all sensors is configured by the micro controller 30 for delivery to central data service 31.
- FIG. 3 A possible operation of the microcontroller 30 is shown in Figure 3 .
- the microcontroller 30 monitors both carriage position and a time threshold. If there is a change of carriage position a position signal is generated and sent via a data link to a data service.
- the data service issues messages or alerts to authenticated devices as will be described in greater detail below. If a period of time has elapsed and that period of time exceeds a threshold defined in the microcontroller then, once again, a position signal is generated and sent via a data link to data service.
- the micro controller 30 may communicate with a remote central data service 31 in a number of alternative ways including by direct SMS or other mobile data link such as GSM, GPRS, 3G, 4G or via a wireless data or wired data link to a router 32 and thence via a broadband data link.
- the communication to the data service 31 could also be a combination of fixed-line using telephone lines or other cable-based networks, and wireless technologies.
- the micro-controller communicates wirelessly with a domestic broadband facility.
- the system might also employ a local receiver (not shown) to which data is communicated using Ethernet, BlueTooth, Zigbee, WiFi or other communication technology with the local receiver then passing on the data to the remote data service 31 using any suitable, compatible communication technology.
- a local receiver (not shown) to which data is communicated using Ethernet, BlueTooth, Zigbee, WiFi or other communication technology with the local receiver then passing on the data to the remote data service 31 using any suitable, compatible communication technology.
- the remote data service 31 is preferably a bespoke internet based application configured to receive data from the micro controller 30 in a number of suitable ways including GPRS/3G, 4G Wi-Fi and wired link via a Router.
- the data service 31 might also receive SMS messages converted as with other incoming data to HTTP format.
- the system according to the invention provides for the central data service 31 to relay information contained in the signals incoming from the ECU 26 or micro controller 30 to one or more subscribers via authenticated data receiving devices having installed thereon 'client' applications to enable interaction with the data service.
- authenticated data receiving devices include mobile telephones, tablet computers, personal computers, television sets and/or any other device or technology capable or imparting information to a human.
- the devices can be authenticated using Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol or other suitable authentication protocol.
- subscribers In order to exchange data with the data service, subscribers would have to be pre-authorized and log into the system using, for example, a user name and password.
- the precise configuration of the data service 31 is not essential to the invention. At its most simple the data service 31 would simply receive from the ECU 26 or micro controller 30, and pass on to subscribers, messages concerning stairlift activity. More sophisticated versions of the data service may be configured to discriminate between subscribers, passing certain types of information to some subscribers but not to others. The data service might also be configured to interpret more technical data into a form more easily understood by subscribers and even undertake analysis on data coming from the ECU or micro controller and decide whether or not (and in what form) such data should be passed on.
- the micro-controller may be configured to pass on a signal indicating carriage position every 5 minutes. If the data service does not receive a signal after a period of 5 minutes the data service may be configured to interpret this as a technical fault and to generate an appropriate alert to a specified subscriber. Assuming there is a constant flow of position information at 5 minute intervals, the data service may be configured not to pass this position information every 5 minutes but at longer periods, say every hour.
- the data service 30 would include a facility to communicate with media services such as (but not necessarily limited to) Twitter, Facebook and/or Google + to enable the distribution of data regarding stairlift activity via such media. SMS and e-mail are further options.
- a system according to the invention is configured to generate an alert or signal each time the carriage stops at the top or bottom of the rail. As the carriage 10 engages a switch 17 at the top or bottom of the rail a signal is sent to micro controller 30.
- the micro controller 30 includes a facility to connect to domestic wireless router and, through that, to an Internet data service.
- the incoming signals from the micro controller 30 are associated by the data service with the stairlift account and, once authorised, the signals are formatted appropriately and transmitted to native applications on phones and tablet computers or web applications accessible by browsers on computers, phones, tablets or other devices belonging to subscribers to the account.
- Followers or subscribers are limited to persons who elect to follow the stairlift and who are granted permission to do so by the account administrator. In this way subscribers, who may be relatives, friends or care-providers, can receive regular messages updating the position of the stairlift on its rail.
- the format of such updates may comprise, for example, '17.42 Went upstairs' or '18.12 Went downstairs'.
- the micro controller may also send a signal, say every 5 minutes, indicating stairlift position, which is interpreted by the data service and transmitted as a message to authenticated recipients in a form such as for example '9.05 Upstairs', at a longer time interval.
- telecommunications functionality is built into the ECU 26.
- the ECU is, in turn, configured in any known way to determine the position of the carriage 10 along the rail 11. This may be achieved by the use of switches along the rail feeding signals back to the ECU or may be achieved by electronically 'mapping' the rail using the technique described in our European Patent no. 0 738 232 .
- Telecommunications messages representing carriage position, time of movement, environmental conditions and/or user health are then sent using the facility in the ECU.
- the central data service 31 includes or comprises a bespoke application to receive and process messages from the stairlift and to generate and distribute ongoing messages to subscribers in the form of family, friends and/or care-providers.
- a bespoke application to receive and process messages from the stairlift and to generate and distribute ongoing messages to subscribers in the form of family, friends and/or care-providers.
- Associated with the data service 31 are 'client' applications for smartphone, tablets, computers and the like; as well as a web application viewable in a browser.
- Access by subscribers or followers would be by pre-authorized login.
- this example could still provide for alerts to be generated via media services such as Twitter, but other forms of message could be generated including, but not limited to, SMS and e-mail messages.
- the data service 31 may be configured to undertake some interpretation and/or discrimination, passing on some messages to some subscribers or followers, but not to others.
