Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0101]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an emergency transmission system, and particularly to the monitoring of close relatives, caregivers, etc., when abnormalities occur in single people such as the elderly, sick persons, single employees and single women. Related to a system that can surely notify a person.

[0092]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the number of elderly people living alone has increased due to the progress of an aging society and nuclear families, and close relatives must make regular telephone calls or visits to confirm the safety of the elderly. It is in a situation that does not become. Even if you live with the elderly, caregivers must always be present, especially if you are sick or elderly with dementia. There must be. In addition, for singles and singles, they are not as urgent as those for the elderly, but their relatives are still concerned about their safety and call and visit regularly. . The dangers that can occur to those living alone include not only extrinsic dangers such as gas leaks in the dwelling, fire, and the intrusion of robbery (hereinafter referred to as “external danger”), but also severe attacks due to illness attacks and falls There are endogenous (involuntary) things such as fractures and fallouts (hereinafter referred to as "internal danger").

By the way, various home security systems already exist to protect single people from danger. Although the specific contents of these systems vary widely, basically, the occurrence of the danger approaching the monitored person is detected by various sensors (security sensors, smoke sensors, temperature sensors, gas leak sensors, etc.) It is a mechanism to report to a predetermined security company etc. and take measures.

[0093]

By introducing these security systems, it is possible to reduce the burden on close relatives due to regular telephone calls and visits to some extent. However, in the conventional security system, when various sensors detect the occurrence of an emergency, a large-scale measure such as immediately activating the sprinkler or dispatching a staff member from a security company is activated. Therefore, it is necessary to bear a relatively large contract fee. In addition, there is always a possibility of malfunction in the above sensors, and if the sprinkler is actuated or dispatched from a security company and it is a false report, the monitored person or close relative, etc. Spiritual
The financial burden will be unbearable. Furthermore, in the case of the conventional security system, detection of external danger is relatively long, but detection of internal danger is almost unsupported. Was recognizable. For this reason, even if it is difficult for the monitored person to even press the notification button, there has been a problem that an effective rescue measure cannot be immediately taken.

The present invention has been devised in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional system, and it is possible to reduce the occurrence of false reports as much as possible. It is an object of the present invention to provide an emergency call system that is designed to be able to reach and that can automatically detect the occurrence of internal danger.

[0086]

In order to achieve the above object, an emergency transmission system according to the present invention comprises a communication device on a monitored person side which can be connected to a communication line; At least one sensor for detecting an external danger to the observer, contact storage means for storing at least one telephone number to be contacted in the event of an emergency, and at least one message to be transmitted in the event of an emergency Message storage means for storing, safety judgment means for judging the safety of the monitored person based on the output from the sensor, and, when the safety judgment means estimates that an emergency has occurred, the fact is monitored. Notification means for alerting a user, and a dial corresponding to the telephone number of the contact when the safety confirmation input cannot be detected within a predetermined time after the warning by the notification means And an automatic dialing means for generating and outputting a signal to the monitored communication device, thereby realizing a call to the communication device at the contact, between the monitored communication device and the communication device at the contact. And a message sending means for sending an emergency message stored in the message storage means to the communication device of the contact destination through the communication device on the monitored person side after the communication path is established in the communication device. The “telephone number” includes a pager number.

The “life reaction” means an event indicating that the monitored person is living a normal life, and this system “washes the face”, “passes through the corridor”, and “boils hot water”. By detecting the presence or absence of a living reaction of the monitored person, such as "using a toilet" or "bathing", the safety is indirectly recognized. For this reason, it is possible to automatically detect the internal danger of the monitored person.

When the monitored person or the caregiver performs an input operation for confirming safety after the warning by the transmission notifying means, the emergency notification to the communication device of the contact is naturally not performed. That is, in this emergency transmission system, even if the safety determination means estimates the occurrence of an emergency based on the output from each sensor,
Rather than being notified immediately to the contacts, a notification is sent to the monitored person, and an emergency call is made only when the safety confirmation input by the monitored person is not detected. Can be. In addition, after the safety determination means determines that "emergency has occurred", dialing is automatically performed on the communication device registered as a contact. If you register as a contact, you can surely receive the first report. Conversely, as long as there is no communication, the safety of the monitored person can be estimated, and there is no need to confirm the safety by regularly making a telephone call as in the past. In this way, the first report of the occurrence of an emergency is reliably transmitted to relatives, etc., which leaves room for self-help protection and rescue activities centered on relatives, etc. The use of expensive external organizations can be minimized.

A wireless telephone (mobile communication terminal) such as a mobile phone or a PHS may be employed as the communication device on the monitored person side. In this case, in the charger of the wireless telephone, the contact storage means, the message storage means, the safety determination means, the transmission notice means, the automatic dial means, and the message transmission means are stored, and the sensor is wired or wirelessly. What is necessary is just to connect to safety determination means. Further, charging state detecting means for detecting whether or not the wireless telephone is loaded in the charger is provided, and at the same time as the wireless telephone is loaded in the charger, a safety monitoring operation in the safety determining means is started,
It is preferable that the safety monitoring operation is temporarily canceled at the same time when the wireless telephone is disconnected from the charger. As a result, the emergency call system can be used by going out with a mobile phone when going out and loading it into the charger when returning home, and the monitored person feels psychological oppression that it is being monitored. Do not give. In this case, in case that the user forgets to take out the mobile phone, there is provided an incoming call detecting means for detecting the ringing sound or the ringing vibration at the time of the above-mentioned wireless telephone call, and the ringing sound or the ringing vibration of the wireless telephone is provided. It is desirable to take a mechanism for temporarily canceling the safety monitoring operation of the safety determination means when is continued for a predetermined time or more.

[0010] Another emergency transmission system according to the present invention comprises:
An emergency calling system comprising: a monitored person's wireless telephone connectable to a communication line; and at least one sensor for detecting a life reaction of the monitored person or an external danger to the monitored person. Contact storage means for storing at least one telephone number to be contacted in the event of an emergency, message storage means for storing at least one message to be transmitted in the event of an emergency, and an output from the sensor Safety judgment means for judging the safety of the monitored person based on the above, when the safety judgment means estimates that an emergency has occurred, a transmission notice means for alerting the monitored person to that effect, and the transmission notice means Automatic dial means for generating a dial signal corresponding to the telephone number of the contact and calling when the security confirmation input is not detected within a certain time after the warning by After a communication path has been established with the communication device of the contact, a message transmitting device for sending an emergency message stored in the message storage device to the communication device of the contact is provided, and the sensor is wired. Alternatively, it is characterized in that it is connected to the safety judgment means by radio. In this way, by storing the main components of the emergency transmission system inside a wireless telephone such as a mobile telephone, it is possible to detect a danger when going out and make an emergency call.

In this case, the wireless telephone is provided with current position information output means for recognizing the current position of the wireless telephone and outputting current position information. It is desirable to transmit the current position information from the output means to the communication device of the contact. The "current position information output means" here corresponds to, for example, a GPS receiver. As a result, the contact monitoring person can recognize the approximate current position of the monitored person at the same time as detecting the danger at the time of going out, and can perform a quick rescue operation.

It is desirable that this emergency transmission system is provided with a time condition storage means for presetting an effective time zone for determining safety based on the output results from each sensor.
In this case, the safety determining means can estimate that an emergency has occurred when an output indicating the life response of the monitored person is not obtained from the sensor during the valid time period. Also,
A safety interval in the valid time zone may be set in the temporal condition storage means. In this case, the safety determination means can estimate that an emergency has occurred if no output indicating the life response of the monitored person is obtained from the sensor during this safety interval.

A plurality of messages associated with the output of each sensor are stored in the message storage means in advance, and the message corresponding to the sensor output on which the safety determination means has determined that an emergency has occurred is stored in the message storage means. You may comprise so that it may transmit to the communication apparatus of a contact via a message transmission means.

[0014] For each of the above-mentioned emergency call systems, a caller number recognizing means for recognizing the telephone number of the caller when there is an incoming call on the communication device of the monitored person, An emergency call request right holder storage means for storing the telephone number of a person who has been certified as a telephone number and the caller number stored in the emergency call request right holder storage means are provided in the safety determination means. The caller is compared with the telephone number output from the recognition means to determine whether or not the caller is an emergency call requestor, and the caller is the emergency call requester, and a call operation from the caller is performed. If the pattern matches a preset pattern, it is presumed that an emergency has occurred, and the monitored person is warned of the occurrence through the above-mentioned transmission notifying means, and a safety confirmation input is detected within a fixed time after the warning by the above-mentioned calling notification means. If you can't It is desirable to configure such that the message transmitting means to transmit the emergency message to the communication device contacts. As a result, if the probability that the monitored person is at risk is extremely high objectively,
It is possible to make an emergency call based on the initiative of a third party that has been certified in advance.

[0015] In Japan, a long-term care insurance system was started in April 2000, but the long-term care insurance service provides home care as a pillar of payment. The emergency transmission system according to the present invention can be used not only in the emergency of a care recipient at home but also in a situation where the care recipient and the care recipient cannot move (e.g., the caregiver's waist). In this case, it is expected that the information service will contribute to the stabilization of the home care service base, for example, it will be possible to dispatch patrol service vehicles as needed. Furthermore, we can expect to promote appropriate, effective, and efficient nursing care service content and time allocation, and consequently, together with "enhancement of long-term care insurance payments", we will aim at "optimizing and reducing long-term care insurance premiums". It is also possible to enter.

The monitored person side communication device 12 is typically a mobile telephone or a PHS or other wireless telephone that is used daily by a single person who is a monitored person, but is usually a fixed telephone or It may be a personal computer or the like having a communication function.

The sensor 14 is for detecting a life reaction which is a basis for determining the safety of the monitored person, and various devices for this purpose can be used. For example, a water flow sensor installed in the faucet of a washroom, a limit switch mounted on a drain lever of a flush toilet, a photoelectric sensor mounted in a frequently visited corridor,
A pressure sensor or the like installed in a bed mattress corresponds to this. Alternatively, a simple switch may be used as the sensor. In this case, not only a dedicated push button switch but also a wall button of a room light, a remote control switch (power switch or channel switch) of a television, a gas ignition switch, or the like can be used as the sensor 14. Further, it may include a sensor for detecting occurrence of an external danger such as a gas leak, a fire, and illegal entry of a house. For example,
A security sensor for detecting breakage of a window glass, a gas leak sensor, a fire sensor, and the like are applicable.

At least a valid time zone for each sensor 14 is set in the temporal condition storage means 32 in advance. The safety determination means 16 refers to the data set in the time condition storage means 32 as appropriate, and determines the output state of the sensor 14 within the valid time zone in the determination reference storage means 34 in advance. The safety of the monitored person is determined by applying the standard. Then, if there is any doubt about the safety of the monitored person based on the output state from each sensor 14, the above-mentioned transmission notifying means 28 is activated to perform a warning operation for the monitored person first. As this warning operation, for example, sounding an alarm buzzer corresponds. Alternatively, if the monitored person has hearing impairment, flashing a lamp corresponds to this.

When the monitored person notices the warning operation and indicates the safety confirmation operation via the security confirmation input means 30, the warning operation is canceled. Safety confirmation input means 30
For example, a dedicated push button type switch corresponds. On the other hand, if the input for safety confirmation cannot be detected within a certain period of time, the safety determination means 16 determines that an emergency has occurred, and the determination result is sent to the automatic dial means 20 and the message transmission means 26. To send to.

In the above-mentioned automatic dial means 20, a communication device of a contact registered in advance in the contact storage 18 is used.
The telephone numbers of 38A to 38C are read, and a dial signal corresponding to the telephone number is generated. This dial signal is sent to the monitored person side communication device 12, and the communication device 12 executes a call to the communication devices 38A to 38C of the contact destination. Examples of the communication devices 38A to 38C of the contact address include a mobile phone or a fixed phone, a pager (registered trademark), a facsimile, a personal computer having a communication function, etc., which are used by close relatives on a daily basis. When a communication path is established between the monitored communication device 12 and the contact communication device 38, the message generating means 24 refers to a message registered in advance in the message storage means 22 and responds to the message. To generate a message signal (voice data, character data, image data). This message signal is a message sending means
It is transmitted to the communication device 38 of the contact via the monitored person side communication device 12, and an emergency call to a close relative or the like is realized. When there are a plurality of communication devices registered as emergency contacts, the above-described automatic dial operation and message transmission operation are repeated a plurality of times.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a hardware configuration of the first emergency transmission system 10. The mobile phone 40 serves as the monitored-person communication device 12 and also serves as a charger for the mobile phone 40. The transmission control device 42 is provided.

Also,
The transmission control device 42 includes a microphone 58 for voice input, an operation panel 60 for inputting various setting values, and an L for displaying the status of the device.
CD panel 62, alarm buzzer 64, lamp for charging status display
It has 66. Note that a power supply circuit 46, a storage circuit 48, a clock circuit 50, a vibration detection sensor 52, a wireless processing circuit 54, a communication processing circuit 56, a microphone 58, an operation panel 60, an LCD panel 62, an alarm buzzer 64, and a lamp 66 are shown in FIG. It is connected to the control circuit 44 via an interface circuit which is not used.

A plurality of sensors are provided outside the transmission control device 42.
14 are installed. Among these sensors 14, the first sensor 14a to the third sensor 14c are connected to the control circuit 44 via the wireless transmission unit 68 and the wireless processing circuit 54 and the like. On the other hand, the fourth sensor 14d is connected to the control circuit 44 by wire.

The mobile phone 40 is provided with a pair of charging contacts 70 on the bottom thereof, and is inserted into the charging recess 42a formed on the housing surface of the transmission control device 42 by inserting the bottom into the charging contact 42. The charged secondary battery is charged. That is, a pair of power supply contacts 72 corresponding to the charging contacts 70 are exposed on the bottom surface of the concave portion 42a.
72 is connected to the power supply circuit 46. Further, in the power supply circuit 46, a commercial AC power supply externally supplied through a power plug 74 is converted into a predetermined DC power supply, and the mobile phone 40 is supplied through the power supply contact 72 and the charging contact 70.
The secondary battery inside is charged. Although illustration is omitted,
Power is supplied to each unit in the transmission control device 42 via the power supply circuit 46.

A plurality of data input / output terminals 76 are further formed on the bottom of the portable telephone 40. The data input / output terminals 78 are provided on the bottom of the recess 42a.
By contacting the mobile phone 40, a predetermined signal can be transmitted from the control circuit 44 to the mobile phone 40 via the communication processing circuit 56.

In the ROM of the storage circuit 48, the first
A control program for realizing various functions of the emergency transmission system 10 is stored. When the control circuit 44 executes the control program, the first emergency transmission system 10 Automatic dialing means 2
0, a message generating means 24, a message transmitting means 26, or a time measuring means 36.
In addition, the flash memory unit of the storage circuit 48 functions as the above-mentioned contact storage unit 18, message storage unit 22, temporal condition storage unit 32, and determination criterion storage unit 34. Further, the alarm buzzer 64 corresponds to the above-mentioned transmission notifying means 28, and a specific key in the operation panel 60 corresponds to the above-mentioned safety confirmation input means 30. Clock circuit
50 supplies temporal data to the first emergency transmission system 10.

Here, as the first sensor 14a, a photoelectric sensor installed near the entrance of the living room is employed. A limit switch mounted on a toilet drain lever is used as a second sensor 14b, a water flow sensor provided in a faucet of a wash basin is used as a third sensor 14c, and a gas sensor in a kitchen is used as a fourth sensor 14d. Is used.

The effective time zone of each of the sensors 14a to 14d is shown in FIG.
Are set as shown in the timetable. That is, the valid time zones of the first sensor 14a to the third sensor 14c are set from 6:00 am to 8:00 am, respectively. As a result, if the monitored person steps into the living room or uses the toilet or washroom during this time, the first sensor 14
a to the third sensor 14c detect this, and a signal to that effect is transmitted to the control circuit 44 of the transmission control device 42 via wireless. On the other hand, the first sensor 14a to the third sensor
If there is no output from the sensor 14c, the safety determination means 16 estimates that an emergency has occurred and sounds the alarm buzzer 64. The effective time zone of the fourth sensor 14d is from 0:00 to 2
It is set at 3:00. As a result, while the monitored person is at home, gas leakage is constantly monitored by the fourth sensor 14d. Then, when there is an output from the fourth sensor 14d indicating the occurrence of gas leakage, the safety determination means 16 estimates that an emergency has occurred and sounds the alarm buzzer 64. The setting of these valid time zones is input from the operation panel 60, and is stored in the flash memory unit of the storage circuit 48 via the control circuit 44.

Next, based on the flowchart of FIG.
An actual operation example of the first emergency transmission system 10 will be described. First, a user of the first emergency transmission system 10, that is, a monitored person, loads his / her mobile phone 40 into the charging recess 42a of the transmission control device 42 at the same time as returning home. As a result, the DC power supply for charging is
It is supplied to the secondary battery in the mobile phone 40 via 72 and 70. A signal indicating the start of charging is output from the power supply circuit 46 to the control circuit 44. Upon receiving the input of the charging start signal, the safety determination means 16 immediately enters the safety monitoring mode (safety monitoring operation) (S10), and refers to the valid time zone of each of the sensors 14a to 14d (S12), and the sensors 14a to 14d. Analysis of the output signal from 14d is started (S14). That is, when the output from a certain sensor 14 is in the valid time zone,
The output content from 14 is evaluated based on the criterion set in the criterion storage means 34, and whether or not an emergency has occurred is recognized. For example, if no output indicating a life reaction is obtained from the first sensor 14a to the third sensor 14c at all from 6:00 am to 8:00 am (S16), the monitored person may move due to some circumstances. It is presumed that it is gone, and a call notice to sound the alarm buzzer 64 is activated (S1
8).

At this time, if the monitored person simply oversleeps and no particular emergency occurs, the monitored person himself / herself presses a safety confirmation switch on the operation panel 60 to perform a safety confirmation input operation. By detecting this safety confirmation input (S20), the safety determination means 16 cancels the above-mentioned estimation of the occurrence of the emergency, cancels the transmission notice, and issues the alarm buzzer 64.
Is stopped (S22), and the safety monitoring operation is continued. On the other hand, if the monitored person does not get up from the bed due to a seizure, the alarm buzzer 64 will continue to sound. And a preset time (for example, 5 minutes)
If the safety confirmation input cannot be detected even after elapse, the safety determination means 16 determines that an emergency has occurred,
Automatic dial processing is instructed to the automatic dial means 20.

Upon receiving the command, the automatic dialing means 20 reads out the telephone number of the contact set in the contact storing means 18 (for example, the number of the portable telephone 82 held by the eldest son 80 of the monitored person) and reads the telephone number. Generates a dial signal corresponding to the mobile phone of the monitored person via the communication processing circuit 56 and the terminals 78 and 76
The data is sent to 40 (S24). As a result, the eldest son from the mobile phone 40
An outgoing call is made to the 80 mobile phone 82, and the
A communication path is established between the two mobile phones 40 and 82 via 84.
In parallel with this calling operation, the message generating means 24 reads out the message content preset in the message storage means 22, and generates a message signal corresponding to the message content and the type of the communication device to be contacted (this If
Since the communication device of the contact is the mobile phone 82, a voice message signal is synthesized). And the mobile phone 40,
When the communication path between the two is established, this message signal is transmitted to the mobile phone 40 via the communication processing circuit 56 and the terminals 78 and 76, and is transmitted to the mobile phone 82 of the eldest son 80 (S2).
6).

The message may be a general message such as "There is a possibility that an abnormality has occurred in the subject. Please check." May be adopted. For example, the fourth sensor 14d
If it is determined that an emergency has occurred because an output indicating a gas leak has been issued from, a voice message stating "It seems that a gas leak has occurred in the subject's residence. Please confirm." Message sending means 26
Disconnects the line after repeating the above voice message several times.

The other party who received the above message (80)
Immediately executes the action according to the content of the message. First, it is conceivable to dial the number of the mobile phone 40 of the monitored person to make a call, and check whether there is any false alarm.
If there is no surveillance even after making dozens of calls here, the probability of an emergency situation is considered to be quite high, so rush to the surveillance person's residence or close relatives who live nearby. And contact a company official (if you are a single employee) to see them. At the same time, if there is a security company, hospital, or the like to which a contract has been made in advance, it is possible to contact them and have them rush to the site. If the content of the message indicates a gas leak, it is desirable to immediately contact the fire department.

When a plurality of telephone numbers are registered as emergency contacts, the automatic dialing means 20 and the message transmitting means 26 repeat the above-mentioned automatic dialing operation and message transmitting operation a plurality of times, and repeat the operation for all the contacts. Complete the message transmission. At this time, if the mobile phone or the landline phone of the contact is busy, the automatic dialing operation is repeated any number of times at regular intervals. Note that a security company, hospital, or the like, which has been contracted in advance, may be registered as one of the contact information.

As the communication device of the contact, in addition to the above-mentioned portable telephone 82 and fixed telephone, a personal computer 86 having a communication function,
It may be a facsimile 88. In this case, the message generator 24 generates a message signal (character data or image data) that matches the characteristics of the communication device. Also,
As the communication device on the monitored person side, in addition to the mobile phone 40 and the fixed telephone, a personal computer 90 having a communication function can be used, and a message can be transmitted through the personal computer 90. Here, the serial port or the parallel port of the personal computer 90 and the communication processing circuit 56 of the transmission control device 42 are connected via a communication cable.

In the first emergency transmission system 10, by setting the valid time zone for each of the sensors 14a to 14d as described above, the recognition rate of the occurrence of an emergency in the safety determination means 16 increases, Erroneous determination can be effectively prevented. For example, in the middle of the night (midnight to 6 am
At time), since a human is usually sleeping, even if there is no output indicating a life reaction from the first sensor 14a to the third sensor 14c during that time, it is estimated that "an emergency has occurred". Should not be. On the other hand, if a gas leak occurs, it is necessary to take an emergency response without delay even in the middle of the night, so that there should be no limit on the effective time zone of the fourth sensor 14d for detecting the gas leak. .

Further, when it is estimated by the safety determination means 16 that "an emergency has occurred", the emergency notification is not immediately made but the monitored person is first warned by the call notification means 28. In addition, it is possible to effectively prevent the relatives from suffering unnecessary trouble due to the false information. By introducing the first emergency call system 10, a close relative can be assured that the monitored person is still safe today without contact even after the effective time period, and regularly makes telephone calls. Saves time. After the valid time period has passed safely, the message generating means 24 generates a message (eg, "I went to work safely today") to convey safety positively, and sends this message to the automatic dialing means 20.
The message may be transmitted to the communication device 38 of the contact by cooperation of the message transmitting means 26 and the message transmitting means 26.

In the case of an elderly or sick person living alone, since the time spent at home is long, as shown in FIG.
It is desirable to set the effective time zone of 14a to the third sensor 14c wide and to set a safety interval in the time condition storage means 32. For example, when the safety interval is set to “1 hour”, as shown in FIG. 6, when any one of the first sensor 14a to the third sensor 14c detects the life response of the monitored person (S30), the time is counted. A one-hour countdown is started in the means 36 (S31). And the first in one hour
When any of the sensors 14a to 14c detects a life reaction again (S32), the countdown is reset at that time, and a one-hour countdown is started from the beginning. On the other hand, if the next living reaction is not detected during this one hour (S34), it is presumed that an emergency has occurred, and the safety determination means 16 activates the transmission notice operation (S36). As described above, by setting the safety interval in addition to the effective time zone, even when a relatively wide effective time zone is set, it is possible to periodically confirm the safety of the monitored person.

The above-mentioned first sensor 14a to fourth sensor
14d is merely an example, and an arrangement may be made so that the occurrence of an emergency can be detected more finely by arranging a larger number of sensors. For example, a vital sensor unit that integrates a wireless transmitter with a vital sensor such as a blood pressure sensor, a pulse sensor, or a body temperature sensor is attached to the body of the monitored person, and the vital data of the person is periodically transmitted to the control circuit 44 wirelessly. This is applicable to a configuration in which transmission is performed selectively. In this case, the value of the sent vital data is
If the safety deviates from the safety range preset in the criterion storage means 34, the safety determination means 16 immediately presumes that an emergency has occurred, and a call notification operation is activated. Suitable for monitoring.

Alternatively, a water level sensor is attached to the bathtub of the bath, and if a water level higher than a predetermined level is detected, it is assumed that an elderly person or the like to be monitored sinks in the bathtub and that an “emergency situation has occurred”. can do. The sensor does not necessarily need to be installed in the house, but may be arranged outdoors such as a garden depending on the behavior pattern of the monitored person.

Regarding the provision of the time condition to each sensor, if there is an output indicating a life reaction within the effective time zone as described above, the safety purpose is not simply determined, but the installation purpose of the sensor is considered. Such a detailed criterion can be set in the criterion storage means 34. For example, when judging the output from the pressure sensor charged in the bed mattress, if a certain level of pressure is detected between 10:00 pm and 6:00 am, it is "safe", but after 6:00 am If the pressurized state also continues, it is determined that the monitored
It can be estimated that "an emergency has occurred". In this way, even for the same type of data output from the same sensor, by changing the criterion according to the time zone,
Accurate determination can be made in accordance with the life pattern of the monitored person. Alternatively, when a “pressurized state” indicating the fact that a person is sitting is detected by an output from the pressure sensor provided on the toilet seat of the toilet, the timer 36 starts counting down and sets a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds). If the “pressurized state” is not canceled even after the elapse of (minutes), the safety determination means 16 can estimate that some abnormal situation has occurred while using the toilet, and can activate the transmission notice.

Also, the output from each sensor is not evaluated separately from the others, but is evaluated in advance.
By setting the mutual association in, a more accurate determination can be made. For example, an output from a pressure sensor provided on a toilet seat detects a “pressurized state” indicating the fact that a person is sitting, and releases the “pressurized state” within a preset time (for example, 30 minutes). If the output indicating that the drain lever has been turned is not obtained from the limit switch attached to the drain lever even though the output indicating that the toilet seat has been It can be presumed that it has collapsed from, and an advance notice can be activated.

Further, the voice input microphone 58 can be used as a sensor without setting an effective time zone. For example, if the monitored person utters the word "Help!" Three times intermittently in the middle of the night into the microphone 58, the safety determination means 16 determines that an emergency has occurred, and activates the advance notice. Let it. In the case of the sound of the television or the mischief of the visitor, the safety confirmation may be input through the security confirmation input means 30 to stop the emergency call.

The setting of the valid time zone and other time conditions, or the setting relating to the cooperation between the sensors can also be input through the keys of the operation panel 60 provided in the transmission control device 42. Alternatively, each setting item may be input on the personal computer 90 using a dedicated application program, and may be transferred to the flash memory unit of the storage circuit 48. Alternatively, a set value can be input from a dial button of the mobile phone 40 and transferred to the flash memory unit of the storage circuit 48 via the terminals 76 and 78. Also, in the above description, an example is shown in which the message generation unit 24 synthesizes voice data corresponding to a message pattern prepared in advance in the message storage unit 22, but the monitored person stores the message in his own voice. The voice message may be stored in the means 22 and the voice message may be transmitted to a contact in the event of an emergency. In this case,
A voice message is recorded in the storage circuit 48 from a microphone 58 built in the transmission control device 42.

In the first emergency transmission system 10 described above, at the same time as the mobile phone 40 is loaded into the charging recess 42a,
Power supply for charging is started from the power supply circuit 46, and this fact is output to the control circuit 44, so that the safety determination means 16
Starts the safety monitoring mode. At the same time as the mobile phone 40 is removed from the charging recess 42a to stop charging, the safety monitoring mode in the safety determining means 16 is temporarily released. That is, the power supply circuit 46 functions as a charge detection unit. Of course, a dedicated sensor for detecting that the mobile phone 40 is loaded in the recess 42a may be provided.

As described above, the mobile phone 40 is connected to the charging recess 42a.
Into the safety monitoring mode triggered by loading
If the user is temporarily removed from the safety monitoring mode by removing this, the monitored person can start using the first emergency call system 10 at the same time as returning to home, with little awareness of the existence of the system. It is possible, and at the time of going out, the use can be stopped automatically.

In order to prevent the mobile phone 40 from being inadvertently attached to the transmission control device 42 as a charger when returning home, some sensors are mounted on the mobile phone 40 and the transmission control device 42 in pairs, and both sensors are fixed. When the vehicle approaches the range, it is effective to emit a warning sound from the alarm buzzer 64 of the transmission control device 42 to prompt the user to wear the device.

Incidentally, there is a possibility that the mobile phone 40 may be inadvertently left at home when going out. Even in this case, since the valid time zone is set for each sensor 14 as described above, a false alarm is not always issued immediately, but a mechanism for canceling the safety monitoring mode from outside should be prepared. Is desirable. For example, if the user makes a call to his or her mobile phone 40 that has been misplaced from a public telephone or the like and the ring tone input from the microphone 58 continues for 30 times or more, the safety monitoring mode is set to be temporarily released. To put.
Alternatively, when the mobile phone 40 is set to call by vibration, the vibration sensor 52 detects the
If the ringing vibration continues for more than a minute, the safety monitoring mode may be automatically released temporarily.

Further, in order to prevent the mobile phone 40 from being left behind when going out, a non-contact type I
It is also possible to operate so that the locking of the entrance door is completed by holding the C chip inside and holding the mobile phone 40 over a receiver installed near the entrance.

Of course, by providing a dedicated switch on the transmission control device 42 side, ON / OF of the safety monitoring mode can be performed.
F may be configured to be consciously controlled.

As described above, when the control circuit 44 executes the control program stored in the storage circuit 48, the safety determination means 16, the automatic dial means 20, the message generation means 24, the message transmission means 26, and the time measurement means 36 Instead of realizing such functions, the emergency transmission system may be configured by so-called wired logic in which dedicated integrated circuits corresponding to the respective functions are connected. Further, the above-mentioned contact storage means 18, message storage means
22, the temporal condition storage means 32 and the criterion storage means 34 may be constituted by another storage medium (for example, a hard disk) instead of being constituted by a semiconductor memory such as a flash memory.

In the above-described embodiment, the transmission control device 42 is constructed by incorporating the control circuit 44 and the storage circuit 48 in the charger of the mobile phone 40, and the control circuit 44 includes the storage circuit 48 (ROM).
Executing the control program stored in the storage means realizes the safety determination means 16, the automatic dial means 20, the message generation means 24, the message transmission means 26, and the clock means 36, but the present invention is not limited to this. is not. That is, an emergency transmission system can be realized by incorporating the control circuit 44, the storage circuit 48, and the like in the mobile phone as the monitored person communication device 12.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing an example of a functional configuration in that case.
In the housing of the mobile phone 92 which is the monitored person's communication device, the safety determination means 16, the contact storage means 18, the dial signal generation means 106, the message storage means 22, the message generation means 24, the call notice Means 28, safety confirmation input means 30,
Temporal condition storage means 32, determination criterion storage means 34, clocking means 36, wireless communication processing means 93, caller number recognition means
94, emergency call request right holder storage means 95, and current position recognition means 96. Further, a sensor 14 is provided outside the housing. The sensor 14 includes, for example, a pedometer (registered trademark) worn by the monitored person and a pulse meter built in a wristwatch.
Is input to the safety determination means 16 in the mobile phone 92 wirelessly or by wire.

FIG. 8 shows an example of a hardware configuration of the emergency transmission system 91.
A control circuit 44 composed of a PU (central processing unit) is provided. The control circuit 44 includes a storage circuit 48 including a RAM, a ROM, and a flash memory, a clock circuit 50, a wireless processing circuit 54, and a push button. 97, an LCD display 98, a speaker 99, a microphone 100, a vibrator 101, a wireless interface 102, and a GPS receiver 103 are connected to each other via an interface circuit (not shown). Also, a sensor 14e disposed outside the mobile phone 92
Are connected to the control circuit 44 via the wireless transmission unit 68 and the wireless processing circuit 54 and the like.

In the ROM of the storage circuit 48, a control program for realizing various functions of the emergency transmission system is stored. When the control program is executed by the control circuit 44, the second control program is executed. Emergency call system 91
Is the above-described safety determination means 16, dial signal generation means 10
6. It will have various functions such as the message generating means 24, the timing means 36, the wireless communication processing means 93, the caller number recognizing means 94, and the current position recognizing means 96. Further, the flash memory section of the storage circuit 48 is provided with the above-mentioned contact storage means.
18, functions as the message storage means 22, the temporal condition storage means 32, the determination criterion storage means 34, and the emergency call request right holder storage means 95. Further, the speaker 99 and the vibrator 101 correspond to the above-described transmission notifying means 28, and a specific button among the push buttons 97 corresponds to the above-described safety confirmation input means 30. The clock circuit 50 supplies time data to the emergency transmission system 91,
The receiver 103 supplies the current position data.

In the case of the emergency transmission system 91, a mobile phone
Since most functions are accommodated in 92, the safety of the monitored person can be continuously monitored even when the monitored person is out, and an emergency call to a predetermined contact can be realized in an emergency. For example, when the monitored person performs dangerous outdoor activities such as mountain climbing, sea fishing, sailing, or when a monitored person with a chronic disease such as epilepsy goes out, a pedometer or wristwatch incorporating the sensor 14e is used. At the same time, the portable telephone 92 is carried. The pedometer constantly outputs a walking number count signal to the control circuit 44 of the mobile phone 92 via the wireless transmission unit 68 and the wireless processing circuit 54. Alternatively, a signal corresponding to the pulse and the body temperature is constantly output to the control circuit 44 via the wireless transmission unit 68 and the wireless processing circuit 54 from the pulse sensor and the body temperature sensor built in the belt portion of the wristwatch.

The safety judgment means 16 includes a time condition storage means.
The output signal from the sensor 14e is analyzed with reference to the setting condition in the 32 and the setting criterion in the criterion storage means 34 to determine the safety of the monitored person. For example, if the output value from the pulse sensor is significantly below the set value, or if there is an output indicating that the pulse is zero, the safety determination means 16 estimates that an emergency has occurred,
A call announcement is made with the ringing tone and ringing vibration of the mobile phone 92. In this case, it is desirable to set in advance a melody or a vibration pattern dedicated to call announcement in order to distinguish it from a normal ring tone or ring vibration.

In the case where the watch is temporarily removed for the sake of the monitored person, the advance notice is canceled by pressing a predetermined push button of the mobile phone 92 within a predetermined time and performing a safety confirmation input. Can be. On the other hand, if a serious problem actually occurs on the monitored person side, such as a seizure of a chronic disease, and even if it is not possible to input a safety confirmation within the above time,
The safety determining means 16 determines that an emergency has occurred, the message generating means 24 generates an emergency call message, the dial signal generating means 106 generates a dial signal corresponding to the telephone number of the contact, Communication device 38A, 38B of the contact via processing means 93
Automatic dialing and message transmission processing are executed. That is, in the second emergency transmission system 91, the dial signal generation means 106 and the wireless communication processing means 93
The automatic dialing means is realized by the cooperation of the above, and the message transmitting means is realized by the cooperation of the message generating means 24 and the wireless communication processing means 93.

Further, the data indicating the current position of the monitored person is transmitted to the contact communication device 38C by the current position recognition means 96, and the position display means 10 connected to the communication device 38C.
At 4, the current position of the monitored person is displayed. This second
It is expected that the emergency dispatch system 91 will mainly detect the emergence of an emergency situation when going out.In this case, for example, the first report notifying relatives etc. of the emergence of an emergency situation is given. Even if you do, there is no way to know where the surveillance person is. Therefore, as described above, it is extremely important to transmit the current position information when an emergency occurs.

Specifically, the GPS receiver 103 incorporated in the mobile phone 92 receives a signal from the satellite 105, and the control circuit 44 processes the signal according to a dedicated program to determine the current position. The current position data is incorporated in the call signal of the communication device 38C and transmitted to the communication device 38C of the contact. As the communication device 38C of the contact point, a personal computer 86 having a communication function provided at a security company, a police station, a fire station, etc. corresponds to the communication device 38C.
On the screen of the personal computer 86, a number indicating the latitude and longitude of the place of occurrence is displayed together with a text message indicating that an emergency has occurred. Alternatively, an emergency location can be displayed on a map developed on the screen in conjunction with a dedicated application program. The PHS method (Personal Handy Pho
ne system), it is not necessary to provide the current location recognition means and GPS receiver as described above in the mobile phone. The current position of the observer can be captured.

In the above description, an example is shown in which a sensor for detecting the safety of the monitored person is built in a pedometer or a wristwatch arranged outside the mobile phone 92. However, the sensor is built in the mobile phone 92 itself. Of course it is also possible. The simplest method is to use the microphone 100 of the mobile phone 92 as a voice input sensor. As a result, for example, mobile phones
The surveillance person carrying 92 said, "Help! Help! Help!"
When the microphone 100 picks up this sound, the microphone 100 picks up the sound and outputs it to the safety determination means 16. If it is estimated that an emergency has occurred, a warning sound (warning vibration) is issued as a call notice and a certain time ( If there is no security confirmation input within a few seconds), it is possible to automatically notify the relative and the police of the occurrence of the emergency and the current location information immediately, which is useful for women's stalking measures. Of course, there is a possibility that the microphone 100 picks up the sound of the TV or movie and it is presumed that an emergency has occurred.However, a warning is given in advance and the opportunity to input the safety confirmation is given, so the occurrence of false alarms is suppressed to some extent You can also. Further, by performing simple voice recognition processing and voiceprint determination processing on the mobile phone 92 side, voices other than the monitored person can also be excluded.

The second emergency call system 91 includes a caller ID recognizing means 94 and an emergency call request right holder memory means 95. Only a predetermined related party is provided to the system 91. It is possible to request an emergency call from outside. In other words, in the emergency call processing described so far, the system determines whether or not an emergency call is necessary in accordance with the output from the sensor. It is necessary to be able to control outgoing calls. For example, there is a case in which an employee who is a single person who is a single person who is a monitored person does not come to work near noon, and no emergency call can be made to the mobile phone of the boss registered as one of the contacts. Normally, it means "Emergency call from the monitored person does not enter" Equal "Safe", but in this case it is expected that the emergency situation that "Employees will not come to work even when it is time" The event to be caused has occurred objectively, and there is a possibility that the system has overlooked the occurrence of an emergency due to a malfunction of the sensor or an erroneous setting, so it is necessary to take some action immediately.

Therefore, in the second emergency calling system 91, the telephone numbers of persons within a certain range trusted by the monitored person are registered in the emergency call requesting right holder storage means 95 of the mobile phone 92. In addition, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, it is possible to make an emergency call by a third party. Hereinafter, the processing procedure of the emergency call by the intention of the third party will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, if the supervisor's mobile phone number in the above example is set as the emergency call requester on the mobile phone 92 of the monitored employee (subordinate), the boss who is suspicious of his absence is Enter your subordinate's mobile phone number from your mobile phone. As a result, in the cell phone 92 of the subordinate, the caller number recognition means 94 recognizes the cell phone number of the caller (boss) via the wireless communication processing means 93, and outputs this to the safety judgment means 16. The caller ID information is transmitted from an exchange housed in a public line network to a mobile phone 92 by a caller ID notification service implemented by a communication carrier such as NTT (registered trademark).
Automatically sent to

The safety judging means 16 refers to the emergency call requesting right holder storage means 95 and judges whether or not the caller number matches a number registered as the emergency call requesting right holder (S).
50) If they match, it recognizes that the call originated from a person who has an emergency call request right, and starts counting the number of call signals sent from the wireless communication processing means 93 (S52). Thereafter, if the line is immediately connected to the monitored mobile phone 92 to form a communication path (S54), it means that the person was safe, and the boss sends a general call from his / her subordinate. You just have to listen to the situation directly. On the other hand, if the line is not connected even if the ringing tone is sounded more than a certain number of times, an emergency situation is finally expected (S56), so that the safety determination means 16 outputs a melody voice different from the previous ringing tone. Is issued from the speaker, and a call announcement is activated (S58). If the monitored person (subordinate) presses the call button, being surprised by the call announcement sound, the safety determining means 16 determines that a safety confirmation input has been made (S60), and cancels the call advance notice (S62). In this case as well, the boss may listen to the situation from his subordinates through a telephone call.

On the other hand, if the safety confirmation operation cannot be detected after a lapse of a predetermined time (several tens of seconds to one minute) after the advance notice of the transmission, it is determined that the probability of occurrence of an emergency is extremely high, and the emergency transmission is determined. After returning a message to the requesting authority (boss), "There is a high possibility that an emergency will occur, we will contact the relevant person in an emergency," and then disconnect the line. Thereafter, according to the same steps as described above, the communication devices 38A to 38A of the contact registered in the contact storage 18 are used.
The automatic dialing process for B is executed (S64), and an emergency occurrence message is transmitted (S66). at the same time,
By the current position recognition means 96 and the wireless communication processing means 93,
The position information of the mobile phone 92 is transmitted to the communication device 38C.

As described above, the telephone number of the reliable emergency call requester is registered in advance in the mobile phone 92 of the monitored person, and the caller number recognizing means 94 sets the telephone number of the caller for each incoming call. Since the numbers are recognized and the emergency call operation is activated only when the numbers match, it is possible to prevent the emergency call from being caused by mischief or harassment. Of course, it is necessary to set a criterion for determining "emergency" in the criterion storage means 34 in order to distinguish it from a normal incoming call (an incoming call for the purpose of calling) from the emergency call request right holder. . For example, a condition (call pattern) that cannot generally occur, such as a case where a call is received from an emergency call request right holder and a ring tone sounds 50 times in a row, is set. Alternatively, it is an incoming call from an emergency call requesting right holder, and disconnects once after ringing for 20 consecutive times,
It is also conceivable that a setting is made to estimate that "an emergency has occurred" when the same person makes another 20 ringing tones. Also, in this case, the emergency call is not immediately made after a certain number of calls have been made, but the caller is notified once and given the opportunity to input the safety confirmation to the monitored person. It is possible to prevent an emergency call from being erroneously activated when using the absence.

The emergency call request system based on the intention of a third party can of course be incorporated in the first emergency call system 10. That is, the emergency call requester is registered in the storage circuit 48 in the call control device 42, and when the mobile phone 40 receives a call, the data input / output terminals 76, 78
In addition, a configuration is adopted in which the caller number is output to the control circuit 44 via the communication control circuit 56. Then, when it is recognized that the call is from an emergency call requester, the call sound is picked up by the microphone 58 and the number of calls is counted, or the call vibration is picked up by the vibration detection sensor 52 and the call number is counted. All you have to do is count. The transmission notice is realized through the alarm buzzer 64.

[0068]

In the emergency transmission system according to the present invention, an emergency call is immediately made even if the safety determination means recognizes the occurrence of an emergency based on the outputs from various sensors as described above. Instead, a warning is given to the monitored person by the transmission notifying means, and the monitored person is given an opportunity to prevent an emergency call, so that occurrence of a false report can be prevented beforehand. In addition, when it is determined that an emergency has occurred, an emergency call message is automatically sent to the communication device of the preset contact, so that a close relative or a mobile phone carried by a caregiver, etc. By registering the number as a contact, a first report of the occurrence of an emergency can be reliably obtained, and subsequent self-help protection and rescue activities can be performed. Furthermore, since the various sensors are configured to detect the life reaction of the monitored person, the internal danger of the monitored person can be reliably detected.
