Here, when the recovery button 410 is pressed,
The display screen of the liquid crystal display panel 420 is switched as shown in FIG.
A screen showing the room number “301” of the room and the name of the patient “Taro Aiphone” is displayed.

[0008]

However, in the nurse call system having such a configuration, since only the picture is displayed on the information display device of each room without displaying the room number or the patient's name, In a hospital that takes the form of team nursing, there is a drawback that the more patients he or she is in charge of, the more types of patterns, and the more types of patterns that nurses need to memorize. Therefore, in the nurse call system having such a configuration, there is a problem that it is difficult for the nurse to immediately determine whether or not the patient is to be in charge of the patient from the design.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and is based on the type of picture of an information display device installed at the entrance of a hospital room or the type of melody played from a speaker of a nurse center. It is an object of the present invention to provide a nurse call system that can immediately determine whether a nurse is a patient in charge.

[0010]

In order to achieve this object, a nurse call system according to the present invention is provided with a control device provided at a nurse center and a control device connected to the control device via a transmission line and provided at an entrance of a hospital room. An information display device for displaying various patient information by liquid crystal display by remote control, and a display screen projected on a display unit with a touch panel including an input device of the control device, according to the type of pattern, for example, animal pattern, plant pattern, vehicle pattern. A team setting button for making settings for allocating patients in charge for each nurse team unit, a control device storing a type of a picture inputted through an input device and displayed on a display unit, and a control device through a transmission path. And a CPU for transmitting various information including the picture created in the above to the information display device.

Further, the nurse call system of the present invention comprises:
The display screen of the display unit with the touch panel includes a melody selection button for selecting a melody for each type of picture, and the control device includes a melody IC for generating the melody selected by the melody selection button, and a speaker for playing the melody. It is characterized by that. .

According to the nurse call system of the present invention,
Whether the nurse is the patient in charge can be immediately determined based on the type of the picture of the information display device installed at the entrance of the hospital room or the type of the melody played from the speaker of the nurse center.

For example, it includes a melody selection button 70 for selecting each melody of a cuckoo waltz 71, a chime sound 72, and a tremolo sound 73.

FIG. 3B shows an example of an animal picture list that is newly displayed on the display section 12 of the control device 1 when the animal picture 41 constituting the team setting button 40 is selected. In the figure, examples of the animal pattern 41 include a dog pattern 81, a cat pattern 82, and so on.

Next, the operation of the nurse call system of the present invention configured as described above will be described.

First, image data shown in FIG. 3A is input through the input device 13 of the control device 1, and the image data is stored in the storage device 15 via the control device CPU 14.

Under the control of the control device CPU 14, the image data shown in FIG. 3A is read from the storage device 15, and the image data is sent to the display unit 12,
The image shown in FIG. 3A is displayed on the display unit 12.

Next, when the team setting button 40 (for example, animal picture 41) is selected via the input device 13, such selection information is sent to the control device CPU 14. When the selection information is detected by the control device CPU 14, the image data shown in FIG. 3B is read from the storage device 15 under the control of the control device CPU 14, and is again displayed on the display unit via the control device CPU 14. 12, and the image shown in FIG. 3B, that is, the animal picture list 80 is displayed on the display unit 12.

When the dog picture button 81 in the animal picture list 80 is selected, the image data of the display screen 4 shown in FIG. The image data is stored in the control device CP.
It is sent to the display unit 12 via U14.

Next, the room number (for example, room number A5)
1) is selected, and a name selection button 60 (for example, Mr. A 6)
1) is selected, and the melody selection button 70 (for example, the cuckoo waltz 71) is selected and determined. When the above operation is completed, the control device CPU 14 recognizes that the setting is completed, and the setting is stored in the storage device 15. At the same time, the setting completion data S1 is output from the control device CPU14, and the setting completion data S1 corresponds to the patient (Ms. A) selected via one of the transmission lines L1a constituting the first transmission line. Is transmitted to the data signal receiving circuit 21 of the information display device (for example, the information display device D1 installed in the hospital room R1).

When the setting completion data S1 is detected by the information display device CPU23, the information display device CP
Under the control of U23, the setting completion data S1 is sent to the memory 22, and the picture information in the setting completion data S1 is extracted and sent to the display device 24. Thereby, the picture of the dog is displayed on the display device 24.

In this state, the recovery button 25
Is pressed, under the control of the information display device CPU23,
The display contents are replaced by extracting the room number information and the name information from the setting completion data S1 stored in the memory 22 and sending them to the display device 24.

On the other hand, when the patient (Mr. A) in the sickroom R1 presses the push button 31, a call detection signal is output from the push button detection circuit 32, and the call detection signal is transmitted via the second transmission line L2. The information is input to the information display device CPU23, and the information display device CPU23 extracts the melody information from the setting completion data S1 stored in the memory 22, adds the melody information to the call detection signal, and configures the other transmission line constituting the first transmission line. The data is sent to the control device CPU 14 via L1b.

The call detection signal is transmitted to the control device CP
When detected at U14, the patient (Ms. A) and the room number (A5) in the room R1 are controlled by the control device CPU14.
The melody IC 17 is notified to select a melody (cuckoo waltz) corresponding to 1). This allows
In the melody IC 17, a melody (cuckoo waltz) corresponding to the patient (Mr. A) and the room number (A51) in the hospital room R1 is selected, and the melody (cuckoo waltz) is played from the speaker 18.

The cuckoo waltz melody allows the nurse to immediately determine whether he or she is the patient in charge.

[0031]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the nurse call system of the present invention, the type of the picture of the information display device installed at the entrance of the hospital room or the melody played from the speaker of the nurse center is displayed. Depending on the type,
You can immediately determine if the nurse is your patient. Therefore, in the nurse call system of the present invention, the nurse can immediately and visually determine whether or not the patient is in charge of the patient. Further, since the nurse only needs to memorize the picture and the melody sound of the patient in charge, it is easy to memorize, and it is possible to eliminate the complexity of the nurse.
