Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a security system, in particular for monitoring and warning a person in a stationary facility.
  • the invention further relates to a method.
  • Caring for people in inpatient facilities requires the highest level of attention from the responsible care or nursing staff. For example, even small errors in the individual medication of patients or inattention with regard to monitoring essential vital parameters of patients can have strong negative effects on the health of individuals. There is also the problem that patients leaving inpatient facilities on their own is often undesirable, but cannot always be avoided.
  • a technical solution for automatic monitoring of facility exits and patient vital parameters can therefore provide enormous support and significantly reduce the workload on the staff of an inpatient facility.
  • high demands are placed on such a solution, such as the reliable identification of critical situations.
  • a high level of flexibility must also be guaranteed in order to be able to adapt to the requirements of a specific care facility.
  • the task is solved in particular by a security system for a stationary facility, in particular for monitoring a person at the stationary facility.
  • the monitoring of the person can at least refer to position monitoring (locating) and/or vital monitoring.
  • vital monitoring means the monitoring of at least one vital parameter of a patient, the vital parameter in particular enabling a conclusion to be drawn about a patient's health condition.
  • the inpatient facility is preferably a care facility such as a retirement home, a particularly closed psychiatric hospital or the like.
  • the facility can also be designed as a hospital, or as a specific, especially closed ward of a hospital. In this case, a closed ward or facility means that the patients staying in the facility are not authorized to leave the facility on their own.
  • the security system according to the invention can be designed to be at least partially arranged, preferably attached, to a building.
  • the radio units described below can be arranged at at least one input and/or output of the device.
  • the monitoring arrangement is designed as backend IT in order to be able to control and/or configure the security system according to the invention.
  • a geographical boundary means a particular virtual boundary around or in the inpatient facility, within which the patients of the inpatient facility should stay or which patients of the inpatient facility should not leave. It may be sufficient that the Boundary limited to local boundary points. It may be sufficient for only the exits of a stationary facility to be defined as relevant nodes for the boundary. If a patient's approach to the boundary or to one of the nodes is detected, a location function on a portable device and/or an alarm function of the security system can be activated, for example.
  • the alarm function can be used to locate the portable device that has approached and/or exceeded the geographical boundary repeatedly or persistently and/or regularly after activation. This repeated location can then continue until the alarm function of the security system is deactivated again.
  • Activating the alarm function can involve informing the responsible staff of the inpatient facility about the respective dangerous situation or making them aware of it.
  • acoustic and/or visual signals are used. This provides both an indication, e.g. B. to the facility staff that the person with the portable device has exceeded the limit, as well as a way to locate the person since the position of the portable device can be located.
  • the limitation can e.g. B.
  • the alarm function can locate e.g. B. communicate with a particular mobile communication device. It is conceivable here that a position of at least one portable device on the communication device can be represented, in particular visually.
  • the at least one wireless communication signal can be a radio signal, preferably a WLAN signal.
  • the electronic output component has the advantage that acoustic signals or acoustic warnings and/or notices can be transmitted to the wearer of a portable device.
  • the input component has the advantage that a voice connection can be established with the wearer of a portable device.
  • the light component has the advantage that an additional visual warning function can be activated on the portable device.
  • the display unit has the advantage that personal data such as name, origin and/or medication can be displayed on the portable device, which in turn considerably simplifies the provision of assistance to disoriented people.
  • the security system according to the invention can have several components which can communicate with one another, in particular wirelessly, in order to enable monitoring of the stationary device.
  • the security system according to the invention comprises several radio units and/or several portable devices. Monitoring can be carried out in an energy-saving manner.
  • at least the radio units of an inventive Security system form a radio network, in particular a mesh network.
  • each radio unit of a security system according to the invention is in particular wireless communication with at least one further radio unit, in particular with several further radio units.
  • not all radio units, in particular only one radio unit are in preferably direct communication with the monitoring arrangement of the security system according to the invention.
  • at least one radio unit is in communication with another network, in particular the Internet, in particular via the monitoring arrangement.
  • each radio unit of the security system according to the invention is designed for, in particular, wireless communication with at least one portable device, in particular several portable devices.
  • the portable devices or the portable device of a security system according to the invention can enter into preferably mutual connection or communication with each radio unit of the security system and receive data from or send data to it.
  • a portable device always only communicates with one radio unit.
  • a portable device can potentially communicate with all radio units, but only ever establishes a data connection with one radio unit for the purpose of communication, i.e. does not communicate with several radio units at the same time.
  • the radio unit used for communication can be selected, for example, based on a signal strength of a particularly wireless signal. It can thus be provided that the portable device selects the radio unit for which the highest signal strength was determined by the portable device for the purpose of system-internal communication. This results in the overall advantage that the communication channels within the security system can be kept short. Accordingly, the receiving and transmitting components of the portable devices can be designed to be extremely energy-saving, which results in longer running times when using batteries or accumulators.
  • a portable device communicates with several radio units.
  • a portable device is in communication connection with several radio units of the security system according to the invention at the same time.
  • the radio units used for communication can be selected, for example, based on a signal strength of a particularly wireless communication signal of the respective radio units. It can thus be provided that, for the purpose of system-internal communication, the portable device selects those radio units for which the portable device has determined the highest signal strengths. This results in the advantage that a position determination of a portable device in the stationary device can be carried out based on the connection to several radio units. It is conceivable that the signal strength of the respective connections between the portable device and the individual radio units are included in the position determination, whereby the accuracy of the position determination can be increased.
  • the position determination or the location component of a portable device is activated when the portable device comes into contact with one or more preferably predefined, system-limiting radio units of the security system according to the invention.
  • the activation of the location component or the position determination can z. B. also include the transfer of the location component from an energy-saving mode to a working mode.
  • the initiation of communication between a portable device and a system-limiting radio unit can indicate an approach of the portable device or the person carrying it to the geogeographical boundary.
  • the geographical limitation is configured by at least one, in particular several, system-limiting radio units.
  • at least one radio unit of the security system is defined or configured as a system-limiting radio unit.
  • the configuration or definition of a radio unit as a system-limiting radio unit can be done via the monitoring arrangement.
  • at least in the monitoring arrangement which of the radio units function as system-limiting radio units.
  • the monitoring arrangement can be designed in such a way that every initiation of a communication connection between a portable device and a radio unit is registered by the monitoring arrangement or can be registered. This makes it possible to automatically detect whether a portable device or a patient in the stationary facility is within range and therefore close to a system-limiting radio unit or not.
  • the location component or position determination of the portable device can be activated, in particular by sending a corresponding command by the monitoring arrangement.
  • the command can preferably be transmitted wirelessly and using the radio units of the security system according to the invention to the portable device and processed there in particular by the processing component.
  • the patient's portable device When a patient or resident of an inpatient facility approaches such a system-limiting radio unit, the patient's portable device enters into communication with it. This means that a patient's approach to the geographical boundary of an inpatient facility can be detected. An unintentional patient leaving the facility must therefore be expected and appropriate measures such as activating the tracking component of the patient's portable device can be initiated. The position determination is therefore only activated when it is possible or expected to exceed the limit in a timely manner, and the location of the portable device may therefore be necessary. Nevertheless, location can be reliably made possible if the limit is exceeded. This results in the advantage that the location component of a portable device is only activated as needed, which enables energy-efficient operation of the portable device.
  • the activation of the position determination on a portable device can advantageously remain at least as long as the portable device is in communication with a system-limiting radio unit. Furthermore, the activation can remain permanent and / or the alarm function can be activated after the portable device has reached the limit (i.e e.g. the geofence). In other words, the activation of the locating component can remain permanent and/or the alarm function can be activated if communication between the portable device and a system-limiting radio unit is interrupted and the portable device is not instead has entered into communication with another radio unit of the security system according to the invention, i.e. in particular there is no communication between a radio unit of the security system according to the invention and the portable device.
  • the location component or position determination can then only be carried out, for example, by the end of the battery charge of the portable device and/or by resetting using a function button on the portable device and/or by resetting by the monitoring arrangement and/or when exceeded again limiting or establishing a communication connection between the portable device and a radio unit can be deactivated.

  • the shutdown can be carried out by the monitoring arrangement.
  • the radio unit can e.g. B. be designed as a Bluetooth transmitter, but also as a WLAN transmitter (like an access point) or the like.

  • the security system according to the invention is therefore highly customizable. In this way, the security system can reliably support both the staff and the residents in facilities from a security perspective.
  • the configuration of the security system according to the invention can be carried out via the monitoring arrangement. It is also conceivable that a portable device for use within the system must first be registered or authorized via the monitoring arrangement in the security system according to the invention and can then be assigned to a specific person or patient.
  • the above-mentioned Personal information is stored in the monitoring arrangement as part of a recording of the patient and, preferably using the radio units of the security system according to the invention, is automatically transmitted to the portable device assigned to the patient.

  • Such activation of the alarm function can also be individually configurable for a specific portable device using the various radio units.
  • radio units near a patient's bedroom or room are excluded from this type of activation of the alarm function, since the patient and with him the portable device are usually in the room for a longer period of time. This has the advantage that any emergencies can be identified automatically and early and appropriate assistance measures can be initiated.
  • the "in-house location" is not carried out permanently, but only in defined periods of time, in particular during nighttime rest and/or in the event of emergencies such as fires. This has the advantage that, in the event of an emergency, it can be determined whether people in need of help are still in the facility and where they are currently located.
  • the security system according to the invention can also be designed to expand and/or supplement an existing security system or can be connected or connected to an existing security system. It is therefore conceivable that the system according to the invention is connected or can be connected to existing security systems such as a fire alarm system. This results in the advantage that warnings and/or alarms from existing security systems can be or are received by the security system according to the invention, in particular by the monitoring arrangement. It is also conceivable that such an alarm message or warning message is forwarded by the security system according to the invention, in particular by the monitoring arrangement, to all or selected portable devices of the security system according to the invention. This has the advantage that patients in inpatient facilities can be effectively warned of dangerous situations.
