Abstract
A system within a dwelling for monitoring and reporting the activity of a resident includes one or more sensors and control data processing means for analysing patterns of movement of a resident in the building compared to store normal patterns. The system reports to a remote observer when the sensed patterns of movement deviate from normal so a possibly resident may be monitored. Multiple sensors at the dwelling are connected to a local data processing means which is in communication with a remote data processing means; the analysis may be done locally or at the remote server. The observer may be contacted via two-way internet and or telecommunications means including web pages and SMS text messages. Sensors may also include video camera means (see fig 3) which may be positioned external the residence and at a residence door so visitors may be monitored. The privacy of a resident may be protected by processing captured images from local cameras to reduce the image clarity for a remote observer.
Description
I
A SYSTEM FOR MONITORiNG, ANALYSING AND REPORTING ACTIVITY
WITHIN A BUILDING
The present invention is a system for monitoring analysing and reporting mainly human activity but also may monitor other activity, preferably but not exclusively in the home, comprising two main parts. The first part consists of various sensing means, which are linked to and include a logic system by any suitable communications path preferably but not exclusively a radio link. The second part consists of a remote monitoring system connected by a suitable communications means to the first part which second part can also communicate with another external element, preferably but not exclusively a human operator.
The population of the UK is ageing. Over the last three decades the median ages of the UK population rose from 34.1 years to 38.8 years. The proportion of our population aged over 65 has increased from 13% in 1971 to 16% in 2005 and the number of people aged 85 and older grew by 64000 to reach a record 1.2 million in 2005.
In line with these increases the volume of home help hours provided or paid for by councils has increased over the last 10 years from 2.2 million hours to 3.4 million hours. Part of this is due to the fact that today, the elderly are actively encouraged to remain in their own homes wherever possible by the provision of additional home care packages. This trend will continue and the future cost of care in the home will rise in line with these trends. However, if the current situation is projected forward it is clear that significant change will need to occur in the way home care services are provided to the elderly in the future. The volume of hours which are needed will expand faster than the community can service those needs unless a different approach is taken at some point in the future to providing those services.
Home care services may also not be limited to the elderly and there is also a growing need for such provision in the case of certain disabilities.
Currently there are several different systems available which are directed at making life easier for those with heath problems or age related difficulties who choose to stay in their own homes. These range from very simple devices of all types to emergency call systems for those who live alone. All of the systems available today however are aimed at making it easier for the person in the home to function or to call for assistance. However, they do not address the problem of the capacity of the system to respond.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a system whereby the activity of a person can be monitored in their home and deviations from normal can be identified by companng current activity with a stored normal pattern of activity or one of many different stored patterns of activity. It is a further object to make it possible for a human operator to be alerted, who may then decide on a course of action. This action may include the further monitoring of the subject person remotely to determine if assistance is needed or what assistance is needed.
he system may also provide for the automatic provision of assistance should it be determined by the system itself that this is an appropriate course of action relative to the given circumstances.
In total the system forms a complete passive, with respect to the subject(s), sensor and information technology system that is able to collate, analyse & monitor the collected data and/or automatically send status and alert messages to a remote observer. The observer is then able to remotely validate the wellbeing and status of the subject from the data collected by the system. The observer may also be able to recall from the system a synopsis of the day in order to get summary of the day or an overview of specific features of the days activity.
There can of course be conflicts between the privacy required by the subject and the information which an observer may require. In some cases, depending on the level of privacy the subject may require, various privacy zones will be created. These will be created by either disrupting the video image pixels or blurring all or part of the field of vision of any particular camera sufficiently to destroy the image detail but allow activity monitoring to continue.
Further extensions of the system may also include monitoring of various events such as temperature, fire and intruder conditions which may also be necessary to prevent harm coming to the subject or premises being monitored.
It is also intended to provide for recording the image of callers and allow an observer to recall these images together with date and time information relating to the caller. This may also be used in conjunction with image recognition software with or without other well know access control technology to advise the subject by sound or vision means that the caller is known, the identity of the caller and also if required to allow entry to the caller.
According to a first feature of the invention there is provided a system for monitoring, analysing and reporting activity or events which indudes one or more sensing means from which information is conveyed to a logic means via a communication link between the sensing means and the logic means.
According to a second feature of the invention there is provided a system for monitoring, analysing and reporting activity which includes one or more sensing means from which information is conveyed to a logic means via a communication link between the sensing means and the logic means, which is also equipped with a means for communicating with a server unit which may be at a remote location.
According to a third feature of the invention there is provided a system for monitoring, analysing and reporting activity which includes one or more sensing means from which information is conveyed to a logic means via a communication link between the sensing means and the logic means, which is also equipped with a means for communicating with a server unit which may be at a remote location where the said server may also be equipped with means for communicating with a human operator via any suitable medium.
According to a fourth feature of the invention there is provided a system for monitoring, analysing and reporting activity which includes one or more sensing means from which information is conveyed to a logic means via a communication link between the sensing means and the logic means, which is also equipped with a means for communicating with a server unit which may be at a remote location, where the said server may also be equipped with automatic means for alerting another system or service of the need for assistance.
According to a fifth feature of the invention there is provided a system for monitoring, analysing and reporting activity as described in any previous feature which is capable of bi-directional communications and real time monitoring.
According to a sixth feature of the invention there is provided a system for monitoring, analysing and reporting activity as described in any previous feature which is capable of recording images of callers together with date and time 20. information and allowing later recall of the said images and or further image and other processing to verify identity and allow access if required According to a seventh feature of the invention there is provided a system for monitoring, analysing and reporting activity as described in any previous feature which is capable of capturing video images and processing those images so as to provide an observer with reduced image clarity in order to preserve certain aspects of the subjects privacy.
The invention will now be more particularly described by way of example with reference to the attached drawings in which -Figure 1 Is a summary of two of the main system components, namely the monitoring component and the observer interface.
Figure 2 Is a system connection diagram showing how all of the elements of the system are linked together.
Figure 3 Is a diagram showing the architecture of the system software for both the monitoring system and the observer interface.
Referring now to figure 1, two central components form a conduit between the subject and the remote observer, the two components are, firstly a Monitoring Component which comprises of interfaces that collect/route subject data that is then processed according to predefined logical conditions to either discard redundant data or store data for subsequent use. Secondly an Observer Interface which will take a number of formats (e.g. internet webpage, e-mail message, mobile phone Short Message Service (SMS)/Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) message and will communicate subject information such as subject status and/or alerts.
The system is intended to have two main modes of operation. Mode I -the flow of information is from the subject through to the observer hence the system is in a monitoring and analysis mode. During this mode, data is collected, analysed, reduced prior to be presented to the user via the observer interface. On the basis of predefined parameters or conditions the system will switch to mode 2 -in this mode the system will enable the bi-directional flow of information.
In mode 2 the observer will use the data stream of the subject to assess the status and priority of messages and alerts sent by the system when it was in mode 1.
Referring now to figure 2, a number of items and their connection methods will now be described as they are used in the example presented here, this is just one embodiment of several possible embodiments; of this present invention.
The rooms and areas used by the subject will contain a device hence forth referred to as a "room unit". The room unit, in this example of one embodiment, will comprise firstly of a digital video camera or web cam that is able to capture visual data from within the room or area of use. Secondly an audio microphone that is able to capture audio data from within the room or area of use. Thirdly a wireless communications module that is able to interface with corresponding wireless communications modules within the room -this module will then form a link between the room unit and auxiliary sensor(s) within the room. The intention is that the system will utilise dedicated sensors to detect numerous parameters relating to the subject and the building status.
These three modules will then capture respective data and route the information via two potential routes to the wider ICT system. The routeing methods described will be either a wired or wireless communications & control interface module.
The room units would then be duplicated to cover different regions of interest within the building the subject resides. It is expected that these room units would be deployed on the basis of at least one or more room units per room depending upon the size and shape of the particular room.
The discrete room units deployed within the subjects building Will interface, via either the wired or wireless communication interface module, with a dedicated unit that is hence forth referred to as a ubase unit". The base unit will comprise of a computer upon which a software application will run, this in-turn is linked to a database that is able to store locally acquired data. The software running on the base unit will use algorithms that are configured to analyse and extract predefined data sub-sets & parameters from the raw data collected by the system. The base unit will then store the data sub-sets and parameters in the database and discard any redundant data.
The computer in the base unit would also contain a suitable modem that is able to facilitate digital communications via a subsequent broadband computer network (drawn outside the base unit box). The base unit will function as a central control, interface (power & information) and data collection vehicle for all of the room units with geographical location defined by the subjects building.
Duplicates of the multiple room units and the base unit will then be utilised to capture, analyse and route data on multiple subjects within multiple buildings.
At predefined intervals or on the basis of particular sensor data the base unit will communicate data to the data base and software on the server.
The individual base units within the subject buildings are then connected by the broadband computer network to a server that hosts a dedicated software application designed to manage the data produced by the systems.
Connections will be made to the server software via any suitable transmission means but preferably a modem, subsequent to that the software will be connected to a database required to store data from the multitude of subjects situated within the respective buildings.
The server software will collate subject data and automatically monitor both the live and historic data for all of the particular subjects in the system. The automatic monitoring will have three main functions. Firstly to collate data and store it in such a way as to enable an observer to retrieve and view the data at a later time and date. Secondly to analyse the data and determine key figures of merit e.g. physical activity level, room utilisation etc, and thirdly on the basis of predefined parameters or trigger levels the server software will automatically send messages or alerts to the observer.
To allow the server to send messages and/or alerts to the observer the server will include two preferred routes of communication. Firstly via the modem the server will be linked subsequently to the broadband network to the observers I0 computer, it is via this route that the observer could receive an e-mail message or browse the historical data on their particular subject. The second preferred communication route for the server would be via a mobile network connectivity device, this will enable a message such as an automated phone call, SMS or MMS to a mobile communications device such as a mobile phone or suitably enabled Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).
Referring now to figure 3, The system Software Architecture can be considered as 3 separate layers. Firstly the Data Analysis Layer (DAL) : software to take inputs from the various data sources; video, audio, auxiliary data sensors (e.g. weight sensors etc). Secondly the Enterprise Layer (EL): software that communicates with each DAL and passes key information to the system Server clusters. Thirdly the Server Layer (SL): software that exists on the systems servers that are used to interface with the end user via a web browser based interface. This software architecture description will now be described as with reference to figure 3.
The Data Analysis Layer, also referred to as the DAL, breaks down into at least three software components; Acquisition, Activity Analysis and Trend Analysis.
In addition to this there will be at least two databases; Acquired Data and Trend Data. Furthermore, there may be one or more supporting software in order to format or translate source data into a standard form. In the case of the Video DAL a "Privacy Zone Renderer" will be developed that applies a blur/pixilation effect to a pre-configureci zone for that camera in order to maximise privacy while still monitoring subject activity.
The DAL will also include a system designed to produce a USyflopsiS of the day" either as a summary of the main events of the day or on a selective basis whereby the observer may set the criteria controlling the recall of date and images.
The Acquisition component will use either the operating system or third party device drivers to communicate directly with the data source in order to acquire discrete packets of data. In the case of the Video DAL this will be a frame from the camera, in the case of the Audio DALI it will be a second of audio from the microphone and in the case of a typical Data DALI it might be the person's weight as they step on hidden electronic scales. This snapshot of data will then be sent to the Acquired Data database specific to that particular data type.
The Activity Analysis component will be continually monitoring the Acquired Data database for new data. Depending on the format of the data and the related timeframes for the data (1 second for video, I sentence/utterance for audio, I instance for data), the Activity Analysis component will extract meaningful information from the raw data and store this in the Acquired Data database for subsequent Trend inspection. In the case of the Video DALI the Activity Analysis component will assess the number of pixel changes between each frame over the course of I second (up to 25 frames). This upixel change" figure will be used as a basis for the calculation for the amount of activity within a particular cameras view for that period of time. Once calculated the activity value will be stored in the Acquired Data database for use by the Trend Analysis component.
The Trend Analysis component will over time create an average activity signature for the DAL That is, by assessing the data in the Acquired Data database over a penod of time and calculating an average, a comparison can then be made in order to assess whether unusual activity levels have occurred.
In the case that a deviation from the norm has occurred then an alert is raised which will in turn trigger an email or SMSIMMS message to the configured recipient alerting them of a potential problem. These deviation thresholds will be configurable per DAL and per person. In the case of the Video DAL, an average activity for each hour of each day will be calculated and then compared against previous data. For example, the subject may be active during breakfast time but then less active for a time after. If on one particular day the subject is inactive throughout the whole morning (crossing a pre-configureci threshold) then an email or SMSIMMS will be sent.
The Enterprise Layer, also referred to as the EL, is responsible for transmitting and receiving any information between each of the DALs configured at a particular installation site and the Server Layer (SL) at the systems servers.
Rather than try to transmit video data real-time from any given installation site to a user using a web browser the real-time data is sent to the system server and stored in a database as a rolling video stream buffer. Anyone logging in to look at the site will access this video stream rather than the data from the source PC at the site. This is due to bandwidth issues at the installation site (while it is feasible that one or two people could watch the real-time data directly from the site, any more than this would result in bandwidth issues that would cause the video stream to be difficult to watch).
In addition to sending real-time DAL data to the server, any alerts or events raised at the installation site are sent to the server. An exception to this is that if the connection to the server is unavailable then the PC at the site would be able to access an offsite independent email and SMS/MMS server to send it's own messages (although the rule set for this would be far more basic than those configured by the user on the server).
The Server Layer also referred to as the SL, has two main responsibilities; firstly to provide users with a web based view to the system data for a particular subject and secondly to raise alerts from the EL. apply a pre-configured rule set to the alerts and subsequently transmit emails and/or SMS/MMS messages to pre-configured recipients.
In the case of the first responsibility The EL will provide, via standard web server technologies, a secure browser (HTML) based user interface that will allow users to: Log in and Log out, View real-time camera video streams from any camera at an installation site, Configure the alerting thresholds and any email and SMS/MMS contact information, View their own user data (user account status, alert history etc.) and finally View trend data for the subject At pre-configured times the DAL will transmit, via the EL, a snapshot of each camera's image and this will be then be stored by the SL in the Video Timeline Images database. This will allow a user who has logged in to replay the activity for each camera for the previous 24 hours. This Video Timeline view will allow a user to investigate the potential causes of any activity deviations and assess remedial action.
In the case of the second responsibility which relates to alerts, via the Web Browser Interface mentioned above, a user will be able to configure key aspects of the system to meet their needs and the needs of the subject. The configurable items are as follows: Level of sensitivity: How wide are the thresholds for a particular DAL? (A 70 year old who is mostly mobile may have this setting configured very low, whereas an 95 year with serious disabilities may have the setting configured to be very high). The wider the threshold, the less likely an alert will be created.

. .. ..... * _* circumstances? (A small deviation over a threshold may fire off an e-mail but a large deviation may fire off an instant SMSIMMS) Contacts: If an alert is raised, then who will be alerted? A small deviation may result in an e-mail to one sub-group of observers (e.g. family members), but a large deviation may result in an SMS/MMS another sub-group (e.g. one family member and an healthcare professional representative or carer)...DTD: It will understood that this example is just one embodiment of this invention and that there may be other embodiments which include any other sensing elements in addition to the ones described and also that there may be other means of communication in addition or alternate to the ones described in this specification. Some systems for example may make use of long range radio communication systems as an alternative to land line based systems. Other systems may, in some circumstances, use infra red as a communication means.
Therefore this invention is intended to include any suitable communication means and any form of sensor which may be intended to sense conditions relating either to the environment or to an individual who is being monitored, in addition to those features which have been described. *1
