DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a state information collecting system for measuring, for example, a human motion and behavioral state, accumulating the information, and detecting and predicting an abnormal state of the human body motion and behavior from the information. , A status information collection device, a status information collection method, an abnormal behavior detection system, a medium, and an information aggregate.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, nursing care for the elderly has attracted attention in the context of the advent of an aging society. In particular, nursing care for patients with dementia and elderly people with wandering is very important, and various techniques have been proposed. This is because it is considered that means for tracking the behavior of these elderly people and notifying the person or the outside when abnormal behavior is performed is very effective from the viewpoint of nursing care. In addition, by measuring and analyzing not only the elderly but also the behavior of people, if it is possible to obtain behavior patterns, for example, it will be possible to control lighting and air conditioning comfortably or to operate safely. It is very effective in human life.

[0003] It is effective to measure behavior not only in humans but also in animals and machines, and in the case of animals, it is possible to use them for ecology research that was unknown until now.
Even in the case of a machine, if the state and operation can be measured, it can be operated efficiently and safely, which is very effective from the viewpoint of production activities and the like.

[0004] Now, in grasping the behavior of the human body and objects,
It is very important to capture who (what), where and what. For this purpose, it is necessary to (1) identify an individual or a specific object, (2) detect a position in a room, and (3) detect an operation or a posture.

First, as a method for identifying an individual or a specific object, there is a method based on image recognition from an RF-ID or CCD image.

In the method using RF-ID, identification information of a tag (also referred to as a transponder; hereinafter, unified as a tag) attached to a mobile object such as a human body or an object is transmitted to an antenna (also referred to as a reader) connected to a processing device such as a computer. Say.
A system that automatically identifies a target object by receiving a radio wave of a specific frequency using an antenna (hereinafter referred to as an antenna) is used.

[0007] Such a system can be roughly classified into two types from the viewpoint of the tag reading distance. One is
It is a short distance type using a low frequency, and the reading distance between the tag and the antenna is about 50 cm or less. They are,
Generally, the tag is held over the antenna, or the tag is sewn to the end of the pants and read with an antenna installed on the floor. The other is a long-distance type using microwaves, in which the reading distance between the tag and the antenna exceeds 1 m. By carrying them on a part of a body or a part of an object, they can read tag information without being conscious when passing near an antenna.

[0008] A method based on image recognition from a CCD image is as follows.
By capturing the human body and objects passing through the doorway with a CCD camera, extracting features such as the face of the human body and the shape and marks of the objects by image recognition, and collating them with unique features registered in advance, And to identify a specific object.

Second, methods for specifying the position of a human body or an object in a room include extraction from a CCD image and extraction from temperature distribution information obtained by a two-dimensional infrared sensor. In other, very large buildings,
There has been proposed a method of specifying an approximate position from the intensity of radio waves from a plurality of base stations using PHS or the like.

Thirdly, as a method of detecting an operation or a posture, a method of discriminating a stationary state and an operation state using a pedometer (registered trademark), a mercury switch, or the like has been proposed in the past. Recently, various acceleration sensors and gyro sensors (angular acceleration sensors) have been improved in performance, and methods for detecting a walking state, a body inclination, a walking direction, and the like using these sensors have been proposed.

[0011]

However, various methods have been proposed for the purpose of detecting "who (what)", "where", and "what" as described above. It has only a single function as described above. For this reason, for example, there is a problem that it is not possible to comprehensively determine “who (what)”, “where”, and “what”.

More specifically, RF-ID can identify a specific individual or an object entering a room. However, when a plurality of persons enter the room, a method for identifying the position of a human body or an object can be used. However, it cannot be determined who (what) or where. Further, even if the posture can be detected using the acceleration sensor, it is impossible to determine at which position the posture is being taken.

In the RF-ID mentioned as a method for identifying an individual or a specific object, the short-distance type needs to consciously hold the tag over the antenna because the communication distance between the tag and the antenna is short. In the distance type, since the communication distance between the tag and the antenna is long, the recognition may not be performed only when passing through the entrance, but may be recognized only by passing by the antenna without entering the room. Also, C
In the method of identifying an individual or an object from a CD image, it is necessary to extract a feature amount from the image. Therefore, for example, when a face is not visible in a shield or at night, no human body can be detected.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-described conventional problems, and provides a state information collecting system, a state information collecting apparatus, and a state information collecting method capable of comprehensively obtaining state information indicating the state of a human or an animal. , An abnormal behavior detection system, a medium, and an information aggregate.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1) First, regarding the configuration and operation of the abnormal behavior detection system of the first embodiment using the state information collection system of the present invention, the schematic configuration of the abnormal behavior detection system of the present embodiment This will be described with reference to FIG. The configuration and operation of the abnormal behavior detection system according to the present embodiment will be described, and an embodiment of the state information collecting method according to the present invention will also be described.

The abnormal behavior detection system according to the present embodiment
It comprises a network 12, a data storage unit 13, an action evaluation unit 14, a state determination unit 15, a notification unit 16, and an abnormal action detection device.

The abnormal behavior detecting apparatus according to the present embodiment includes a personal information terminal 6, a moving direction detecting means 9, a position detecting means 10 and the like as a sensor group.

The personal information terminal 6 is attached to the human body 1, and the posture / action detecting means 2 which can detect the posture, action, body movement, action / activity of the human body by means of an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, etc. Radio wave receiving means 3 for receiving a radio wave of a specific frequency transmitted from the radio wave transmitting means 4 when the distance from the transmitting means 4 becomes a certain value (for example, 1 m) or less, and processing signals obtained from these sensors And a sensor signal transmitting / receiving means 23 for wirelessly transmitting these sensor signals to the base station 7.

The moving direction detecting means 9 outputs a sensor according to the moving direction of a human body or an object by using an infrared sensor or a distance sensor, and the sensor signal output from the moving direction detecting means 9 is a signal. The processing is performed by the processing unit 11 to determine the moving direction of entering or leaving the human body or the object.

The position detecting means 10 can detect and specify the position of a human body by image processing from a CCD camera, an infrared sensor capable of measuring a two-dimensional temperature distribution or an infrared camera, or a radio wave transmitted to a human body or an object. A source is attached, the radio wave is received by one or more antennas installed in a room, and the position of a human body or an object is specified from the intensity and direction of the radio wave. Signals obtained from the CCD camera, the infrared sensor, and the antenna are processed by the signal processing unit 11, and two-dimensional coordinates on the floor surface in the room can be calculated.

In the present embodiment, the identification of the human body 1 is performed substantially at the same time as entering the room, and the tracking of the identified human body 1 is continued.

For example, when one or more antennas installed indoors are used, (a) the direction seen from the antenna of the human body 1 is measured from the direction of the radio wave received by the antenna, and (b) the antenna is measured. From the strength of the radio waves received by the human body 1
By measuring the distance from the antenna, the two-dimensional position of the human body 1 can be specified. It should be noted that if there are a plurality of antennas, the accuracy of such position identification is of course improved, but without measuring the strength of the radio wave,
According to the principle of triangulation, the position of the human body 1 can be specified.

When an infrared sensor or the like is used, data is collected approximately every one second. If data is collected at such a time interval, the human body 1 does not move in the room at such a high speed. For example, a human body whose movement distance within the time interval is equal to or less than a predetermined value is the same. By judging that there is, and further performing data interpolation, it is sufficiently possible to analyze the flow line of the human body 1 and perform tracking. Since the performance of the infrared sensor and the like has been improved in recent years, a plurality of human bodies can be reliably determined as long as they are separated by about 10 cm or more.

In addition, when the state determination unit 15 determines that the human body is in an abnormal state in the behavioral state obtained from the behavior evaluation unit 14, or when it is predicted that the state may become abnormal in the future, the reporting unit 16 notifies the person. .

As described above, the signal processing means 11 is connected to the network 12 together with the signal processing means (not shown) installed in other rooms, so that all information in each room can be shared, and each individual's personal information can be shared. The behavioral state in all rooms can be grasped.

If a display device such as a monitor is installed as an auxiliary device of the state determination means 15, it is possible to list the behavioral state of each individual in each room. In this way, the burden on the caregiver can be greatly reduced not only in ordinary homes but also in facilities and the like intended to care for the elderly. In the present embodiment, the type of network is not particularly mentioned, but the network may be anything such as a telephone line, the Internet, or a dedicated home network.

Here, the position detecting means 10 specifies the position of the human body in the room 30 including the human body 1 in accordance with the number of identified IDs.

The abnormal behavior detection system performs the same operation when the human body 1 leaves the room. That is, when the human body 1 approaches the entrance, the moving direction detecting means 9 detects the human body and confirms the start of the passage of the human body 1 through the entrance. The radio wave receiving means 3 (see FIG. 1) of the personal information terminal 6 starts receiving the specific frequency of the radio wave transmitting means 4 at that timing.
When the human body 1 continues to leave the room, the personal information terminal 6 enters the reception range of the radio wave transmitted from the radio wave transmitting means 4, so that the radio wave receiving means 3 (see FIG. 1) receives the ID radio wave. This state is referred to as a temporary identification state. The state in which the human body 1 continues to leave the room and the movement direction detecting means 9 completely confirms the passage through the entrance is also referred to as the actual identification state, and the identification is performed as long as the human body 1 does not enter the room thereafter. The information reception of each sensor is canceled for the ID. Therefore, the position detecting means 10 does not specify the position because the identified ID does not exist.

As a moving direction detecting means, it is possible to detect a passing human body by installing a chopper in front of a pyroelectric type one-dimensional array element having a plurality of light receiving sections and dividing a visual field by chopping timing. It is possible.
Since the temperature of the measurement object can be easily calculated based on the temperature of the chopper, it is possible to set an appropriate threshold value of the sensor output and extract the time during which the human body is present.
Furthermore, since the apparent size of the human body is determined based on the distance from the sensor, it is possible to distinguish between the area near the human body temperature and the area of the human body, thereby improving the accuracy of extracting the human body.

As described above, by using the infrared sensor as the moving direction detecting means, it is possible to accurately grasp the entry / exit of the room and to detect the reception timing of the radio wave receiving means in the RF-ID very accurately. As a result, it is possible to achieve an improvement in identification accuracy. Although the example of the infrared sensor has been described here, the present invention is not limited to this, and even when a distance sensor using light or ultrasonic waves is used, the presence or absence of a human body is binarized by binarizing. The same effect can be obtained.

A method of measuring a visible image using a CCD camera as a position detecting means and extracting a human body is also conceivable. That is, C above the room with the floor surface direction
Install a CD camera and measure the visible image. The extraction of the human body region is performed using a method such as extraction of the outline of the moving object and extraction of the skin color of the face. Further, since the apparent size of the human body is determined based on the distance from the camera, the accuracy of extracting the human body can be improved. If the correlation data between the position in the field of view of the camera and the actual position on the floor surface is measured or calculated in advance, the actual human body image is extracted from the human body image extracted in the field of view of the camera. Can be found.
