Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric appliance system, a mobile terminal device, an electric appliance, a management device, an ID signal processing method, a program, and a medium.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, attention has been paid to behavior management of elderly people against the background of the arrival of an aging society. In particular, care of dementia patients and elderly people with wandering is very important, and various techniques have been proposed.

It is considered that the means for tracking the behavior of these elderly people and notifying the person or the outside when he / she takes abnormal behavior is very effective from the viewpoint of care. In addition, if, for example, a behavior pattern can be obtained by measuring and analyzing the behavior of not only the elderly but also the behavior of a person, it becomes possible to comfortably control home appliances or operate them safely. It is very effective for human life.

In particular, as is apparent from the above, it is considered meaningful to obtain information on who used which home appliance.

In the method of grasping the behavior of the human body, it is very important to understand "who", "where" and "what".

For example, as a method for identifying an individual (that is, capturing "who" described above), RF-
A method based on image recognition from an ID or CCD image can be used.

The RF-ID is an antenna (also referred to as a reader; hereinafter referred to as an antenna) which is connected to a processing device such as a computer, for identifying information of a tag (also referred to as a transponder; hereinafter referred to as a tag) attached to a moving body such as a human body or an object. Is a system that receives radio waves of a specific frequency and automatically identifies objects.

The tag reading distance can be roughly classified into two types in this system. One is a short-range type that uses low frequencies, and the reading distance between the tag and antenna is 50c.
It is about m or less. These are generally read by an antenna installed on the floor, or by holding the tag over an antenna, sewing the tag on the end of pants. The other is a long-distance type using microwaves, in which the reading distance between the tag and the antenna exceeds 1 m. When these are carried on a part of the body or a part of the object, the tag information can be read without being aware when passing near the antenna.

[0009]

However, the above-mentioned conventional technique has a problem that it is not possible to determine who used which home appliance, for example.

For example, as described above, the RF-ID can identify a specific individual or object entering the room, but when a plurality of people enter the room, the method of specifying the position of the human body is also used. , It is difficult to determine exactly where each of them is, and it is almost impossible to know who is using which home appliance.

Further, since such a home electric appliance is usually usable by anyone, there is a problem that it is easily damaged by theft.

In consideration of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention provides, for example, an electric appliance system, a mobile terminal device, an electric appliance, a management device, which can determine who used which home electric appliance. It is an object of the present invention to provide an ID signal processing method.

Further, in consideration of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention takes, for example, an electric appliance system, a portable terminal device, an electric appliance, a management device, an ID signal processing for making a home electric appliance less susceptible to theft damage. It is intended to provide methods, programs, and media.
