The information is converted into information to be shown, and this information is transmitted to the watcher's house 30 via the network 40 as life information or abnormality detection information. When the push button switch is pushed, an emergency signal is transmitted to the watcher's house 30 via the network 40.

  In particular, the network controller 12 stores the detection information of each sensor in an internal memory for a predetermined time (for example, several hours to 1 to 3 days), and stores the stored sensor data via the network 40 after a predetermined time elapses. Transmit to the watch center 20. For example, toilet usage data obtained by measuring the toilet usage time is stored for two days, for example, and transmitted to the monitoring center 20 every two days. As described above, the communication traffic between the in-home device 10 and the monitoring center 20 can be reduced by transmitting the sensor data collectively at regular intervals. Further, the network controller 12 stores an anomaly definition value for detecting an anomaly for each elderly person transmitted from the watching center 20, and an abnormality is detected according to the anomaly definition value provided for each elderly person from the watching center 20. Is detected. When an abnormality is detected, the watcher's house 30 is contacted by e-mail or telephone via the watch center 20 via the network 40. In the present embodiment, in order to detect anomalies by the definition values of the anomalies optimized for the life situation of each elderly person, the anomalies of the anomalies due to the general anomaly definition values that have been set empirically or by common sense conventionally. Abnormalities can be detected more quickly and accurately than detection.

  The watcher's house 30 is a residence of a relative of an elderly person who is an object of watching, and is located in a remote place from the elderly person's house. The watcher's house 30 includes a personal computer (PC) 31 (terminal) connected to the watch center 20 via the network 40 and transmitting / receiving data. The personal computer 31 receives life distribution information from the monitoring center 20 and transmits a communication function such as an E-mail, a display function (display means) such as an LCD for displaying / inputting data, a keyboard / mouse, etc. Input function (input means). In addition, the personal computer 31 has a function as a setting unit that allows a watcher to input and select an abnormality notification parameter and an abnormal definition value used in the watch center 20 by an input unit and notify the watch center 20 of the input / selection.

  The host computer 21 performs processing such as control of each unit, data distribution, data accumulation, and abnormality determination based on life information transmitted from the home device 10.

  In particular, the host computer 21 is provided with a living behavior data creation function and a Web function for creating living behavior data based on the living information stored in the management database 25. In addition, this living behavior data creation function creates living behavior data that enables analysis of the living behavior of the watching target person based on the living information and diary data accumulated in the database 25. The Web function is a function of watching the accumulated data in the management database 25 and making it a Web page (homepage) for each target person and distributing it to the watcher's home 30 as a client terminal via the communication network 40 such as the Internet. There is also a web page on which a graph by the graphing function is posted.

  The management database 25 collects and manages various types of information about the service contractor, the service beneficiary, and the service provider, and accumulates the stay data output from the in-home device 10 of each watching target person's house as needed.

  The server of the watching center 20 is actually realized by software (life watching application) using a general-purpose computer.

On the other hand, in the watcher's house 30 for sending and receiving E-mails, it is necessary to prepare in advance so that the personal computer 31 can be connected to a network 40 such as the Internet through a provider or the like, and to own a mail address.
Hereinafter, the operation of the life watching system configured as described above will be described.

<Overall operation>
The host computer 21 of the watching center 20 constantly receives the life information of the elderly from the in-home device 10 via the data input / output control unit 22 and the network 40 and stores it in the management database 25. The service provider of the watching center 20 collects life information from the homes of the elderly and provides the life information of the elderly who have contracted in advance to the service user. When the in-home device 10 detects a life change that has occurred in an elderly person's home, the in-home device 10 immediately notifies the watch center 20, and the watch center 20 that has received this notice automatically updates the pre-registered contact information. Contact the guardian's home 30 by e-mail or telephone.

The watching center 20 monitors the life abnormality of the service receiver based on various information stored in each table of the management database 25. As an example of this abnormal life item, there have been the following in general.
(1) Toilet occupancy time 15 minutes (2) Toilet occupancy time 30 minutes (3) In-room continuous stay time 3 hours (4) Bathing time 30 minutes (5) Bedtime restriction time 9:00 am

  Such abnormal life items are stored in the beneficiary home information table in the management database 25. The monitoring center 20 determines that a life abnormality corresponding to each item has occurred when any of these abnormal life items has occurred, and provides various services according to the contents of the contract with the service contractor. provide.

<Stay judgment operation>
The in-home device 10 determines stay of the watching target person based on the output from the human sensor 19 arranged in the watching target person's house. For example, when only the human sensor 19 arranged in the living room detects the monitoring target person continuously (for example, for 30 seconds), the in-home device 10 determines that the watching target person is staying in the living room. Then, when the presence sensor 19 in the living room finishes the continuous detection of the person being watched and the human sensor 19 in the bedroom starts continuous detection, the in-home device 10 moves the person to be watched from the living room to the bedroom. It is determined that

  The watching center 20 determines whether the watching target person is out. For example, the stay data stored in the management database 25 is a human sensor in the monitoring target person's house until a predetermined time for going out (for example, 30 minutes) elapses after the entrance human sensor 19 detects the monitoring target person. When none of 19 has detected the watching target person, the watching center 20 determines that the watching target person has gone out. Then, after the person sensor 19 at the entrance detects the person to be watched, when the person sensor 19 in the person to be watched at other than the entrance detects the person to be watched, it is determined that the subject has come home.

  Moreover, the stay determination by the watching center 20 determines the stay of the person to be watched outside the place where the sensor is arranged. For example, it is assumed that there is a second living room where no sensor is arranged in the watching target person's house. When it is determined by the stay determination of the monitoring center 20 based on the accumulated stay data that the person to be watched is not staying at the place where the sensor is placed and is not going out, the person to be watched is in the second living room. It is determined that you are staying.

  The staying duration of the watching target person at a predetermined location in the watching target person's house is calculated based on the stay data accumulated in the management database 25. For example, it is assumed that only the human sensor 19 in the kitchen detects the stay of the person being watched over for a predetermined time. At this time, the stay duration of the person being watched over in the kitchen is calculated based on the accumulated stay data from the time when the human sensor 19 in the kitchen starts to detect the person being watched over and the time when the detection ends. The

  Furthermore, when it is determined by the stay determination that the person to be watched has entered, for example, a toilet, the watch center 20 continues to make an abnormal determination. That is, after the determination that the person to be watched has entered the toilet, if it is not determined that the person has moved from the toilet even after a predetermined abnormal change specific time has elapsed, it is determined that “anomaly has occurred”. Similarly, when it is determined that the person to be watched is out of the office and it is not determined that he / she has returned home even after a predetermined abnormality determination time (for example, 4 hours) has elapsed, it is determined that “anomaly has occurred”. This anomaly occurrence data is immediately transmitted to the watcher's house 30 via the watch center 20.

  A person concerned with watching can access the staying data of the watching target person by accessing the watching center 20 from the personal computer 31. The access signal of the person concerned with watching is distributed to the watching center 20 via the network 40, and the watching center 20 creates living behavior data in response to this access signal. As the living activity data, the stay data accumulated according to the access signal is read, and the personal computer 31 is made to display a graph of the stay data of the target person through the network 40. Further, the stay data graph can be viewed on the Web browsing screen of the personal computer 31 by the Web function.

  Thereby, the person concerned with watching can browse the stay data of the watching target person. These graph screens may also be distributed to specialized institutions such as preventive medicine, and may be useful for the health management and medical care of the person being watched over. Further, referring to the diary function, which is one of the features of this life monitoring system, can be further used for the health management and medical care of the person being watched over.

The above is the basic function in the watching system. In the present embodiment, a life data analysis display function and a diary function are added to the monitoring system. The following contents are realized by the life data display method with a diary function according to the present embodiment.
1. On the top screen of the family page, the state of life from the sensor, the schedule of the day (that week), and the evaluation result of the previous day's life (daily or whether it is healthy from the tendency of the pattern) are displayed.

The items that can be selected are as follows.
Satisfaction: Very satisfied 1 Somewhat satisfied, both slightly dissatisfied Outing: Shopping, friends, consultation, hobbies, meetings, work, etc. Medicine: Drinked, forgotten Meals: 3, 2, 1, None Event ： Transportation, meal preparation, money management, falls

The operation method in the diary function is described below.
3.1 Writing Diary writing can be done by opening the diary from the top of the family page (not shown) or by right-clicking the mouse from the trend display (Fig. 3) or pattern display (Fig. 11). . When opened with a right mouse click, only the relevant date can be viewed and written. The writing operation is the same as when the diary is opened from the top of the family page.

3.2 Browsing There are two ways to browse the diary: open the diary from the top of the family page, and open the trend display / pattern display by right-clicking the mouse. When opened with a right mouse click, only the relevant date can be viewed and written. The browsing operation is the same as when the diary is opened from the top of the family page.

3.3 Schedules Schedules and events can be written. For example, you can write your birthday or wedding anniversary. In addition, because it is possible to write the scheduled hospital visit date and the schedule of the facility visit, any family member can notify the person being watched over. Anyone who has an ID, including the person himself, can write and view the schedule.

In addition, since a calendar for each designated month is displayed, it is possible to write in the calendar. You can freely modify the contents once written, and you can write up to one year ahead of the schedule. If you decide the color for each person who writes, it is convenient to see who wrote it at a glance.

  In addition, the displayed data of the day is displayed. You can view past data by pointing on the screen with a pointing device such as a mouse.

  1. Trend display and 2. 2. pattern display; Explained the outline of the diary function. A detailed display screen will be described later with reference to FIGS.

  The present embodiment is characterized in that the setting screen can be called from the data screen. Data processing for realizing this will be described.

4). Data processing For the data analysis processing for each individual, the following five processes are executed. Note that the number and definition of processes defined here are merely examples and are not limited.

4.1 Circadian rhythm
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a circadian display screen, and FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the principle of circadian rhythm.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the vertical axis represents the day of the year, the horizontal axis represents the occurrence of movement (seconds), and the occurrence of movement to a place other than the bedroom is plotted to extract the wake-up rhythm. The user can select which place to select on the screen and display the figure. Here, it is assumed that the person to be watched sleeps and wakes up in the bedroom, but other places can be set as sleeping places. Here, the occurrence of movement can be obtained by the above-described <stay determination operation>. By plotting the occurrence of movement to a place other than the bedroom, it is possible to obtain a sleeping curve indicated by the number 300 in FIG.

  FIG. 4B is a diagram in which the vertical axis and the horizontal axis in FIG. 4A are interchanged, the vertical axis is displayed for 24 hours, and the horizontal axis is displayed annually. The number 300a in FIG. 4B is the last-year sleeping curve of the person being watched over, the number 300b is the sleeping curve this year, and the number 300c is the bedtime of yesterday. Although the method for calculating the sleeping curve has been described above, the wake-up curve can be obtained by the same method. In addition, going out can be displayed based on the stay determination result of the human sensor installed at the entrance. These circadian rhythms (daily behaviors) are shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the vertical axis is 24 hours a day and the horizontal axis is short-term (3 months to 1 year), 1 memory is displayed for 1 day, and long-term (3 years to 10 years) is displayed. Displays one memory in January, and displays the wake-up curve 310, the sleeping curve 300, and the outing display 320 in different colors on the circadian display. In the short-term display, the total time of the day is displayed, and in the long-term display, the average value of the total time of the day for one month is displayed. The outing display 320 is displayed only in the case of a short-term (3 months to 1 year) display, and the outing display is not displayed in the short-term display.

In the circadian display in which the wake-up curve 310, the sleeping curve 300, and the going-out display 320 are displayed, the user can move the cursor 330 to an arbitrary position by operating a pointing device such as a mouse. In addition to the cursor 330, a horizontal axis line 330a indicating the horizontal axis where the cursor 330 is located and a vertical axis line 330b indicating the vertical axis are also displayed. The cursor 330, the horizontal axis line 330a, and the vertical axis line 330b are preferably displayed as thin lines having colors different from the display colors of the wake-up curve 310, the sleeping curve 300, and the outing display 320. The circadian display also includes a horizontal axis 330a of the cursor 330.
And the data value 350 of the day on which the vertical axis 330b of the cursor 330 is hit (for example, wake up on March 18, 2001 6:25 bedtime 10:48) ) Is displayed.

  With the circadian display shown in FIG. 5, the user can intuitively understand the tendency of the person to be watched to wake up, go to bed, and go out, and the cursor 330 can be operated to wake up, go to bed and Detailed information on going out can be read.

  When the cursor 330 is displayed (the cursor 330 is on the circadian display) and a pointing device such as a mouse is right-clicked, a wake-up notification setting screen is opened and notification settings can be made. Similarly, there is a method of opening a diary by right-clicking the mouse from the trend display. If you open the diary with a right mouse click, you can view and write only the relevant date. Since this diary function and notification setting are one of the features of this life monitoring system, they will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS.

(1) Calculation of sleeping curve The starting point where bedroom data continues for 30 minutes or more is searched from the data at 6 pm. If more than one is found, the later time is used. If not found, search the next day's data until 3 am. If not found, no bedtime data.

(2) Calculation of wake-up curve When there is no bedtime data until 3 am, the search is started from 0:00. If there is bedtime data, the search starts from that time. However, when the search start time is not the bedroom, the search start is set as the time when the bedroom appears next. When a place other than the bedroom is discovered and the place other than the bedroom continues for 30 minutes or more, or the number of sensor responses within 30 minutes is 4 times or more, or the hit count within 30 minutes is 100 times or more Get up.

(3) Outgoing display Outgoing data to the next sensor data are going out.

(4) Filtering process A 10-day moving average process is performed on the wake-up and bedtime curves. At this time, points that are more than 2 hours away from the previous day are not included in the average but are displayed as they are.

(5) Vertical axis display scale 10 minutes / dot, full scale 24 hours, that is, 144 dots.

(6) Horizontal axis display scale In short-term display, 360 dots, that is, 120 days are displayed on one screen as 3 dots / day. In the long-term display, 9 dots / month, that is, 40 months are displayed.

Thus, in the circadian (daily action), the estimated time of waking up and going to bed is displayed as a line, and the outing period is displayed in a block shape. The situation for about 5 months can be confirmed on one screen. On this circadian screen, you can use the mouse cursor to see the diary of the day you want to check in detail, and call up the wakeup notification setting screen. In particular, you can see at a glance what happened before and after the change in your physical condition and your life. On this circadian screen, three indicators are displayed: a wake-up curve, a sleeping curve, and going out. The wake-up curve is displayed after judging that the activity (movement) in the other room has increased after getting up from the bedroom. The bedtime curve is displayed after it has been moved to the bedroom after 6 pm and activity (movement) has decreased. The indication of going out indicates a period during which the sensor provided at the entrance detects the going out.

4.2 Daily Total Stay Time FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a display screen of the total daily stay time displayed for each place, and here shows the stay time of the toilet.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the vertical axis is displayed in 90 minutes with auto scale and the horizontal axis is displayed in a short period (3 months to 1 year), 1 memory is displayed on a day, and a long term (3 years to 10 years) is displayed. In this case, one memory is displayed in January, and the stay time 400 of a predetermined place (toilet) is displayed on the total stay time display on this day. In the short-term display, the total value of the stay time at the place for each day is displayed, and in the long-term display, the daily average value for one month is displayed.

In the daily total stay time display, the user can move the cursor 330 to an arbitrary position by operating a pointing device such as a mouse. In addition to the cursor 330, a horizontal axis line 330a indicating the horizontal axis where the cursor 330 is located and a vertical axis line 330b indicating the vertical axis are also displayed. The cursor 330, the horizontal axis line 330a, and the vertical axis line 330b are preferably displayed as thin lines having a color different from the display color of the staying time 400. In addition, in the total day stay time display, the time 410 (for example, time 38 minutes) on which the horizontal axis line 330a of the cursor 330 is hit and the data value 420 (on the date on which the vertical line 330b of the cursor 330 is hit) For example, toilet stay time March 18, 2001 Wake up 6:25
A total of 43 minutes) is displayed.

  The user can intuitively understand the tendency of the total daily stay time for each place of the person to be watched by the daily total stay time display shown in FIG. Detailed information on the total stay time of each day can be read.

  When the cursor 330 is displayed (the cursor 330 is on the daily total stay time display) and a pointing device such as a mouse is right-clicked, a wake-up notification setting screen is opened, and notification setting becomes possible. Similarly, there is a method of opening a diary by right-clicking the mouse from the trend display. If you open the diary with a right mouse click, you can view and write only the relevant date. Since this diary function and notification setting are one of the features of this life monitoring system, they will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS.

  This data processing is performed for each sensor registered for each home device (HCR) 10 in each residence. For example, in the case of a standard system, four processes are performed: entrance, living room, bedroom, and toilet.

(1) Daily total Calculated from sensor data excluding the home appliance monitor and its hit count. The time from the specified sensor occurrence time to the next data occurrence time is calculated. This time is accumulated every day. The unit of time data is seconds. same as below.

(2) Monthly average of the total day total the total day value for one month and divide that value by the number of months. Rounded down to the nearest second.

(3) Vertical axis display scale Average value X of all data is obtained and scale is selected according to the following rule Scale = S1whereX ≦ 20 minutes Scale = S2where20 minutes <X ≦ 40 minutes Scale = S3where40 minutes <X ≦ 300 minutes Scale = S4where300 minutes <X
The following four scales are used.
S1: 2 dots 1 minute full scale 120 dots = 60 minutes S2: 1 dot 1 minute full scale 120 dots = 2 hours (120 minutes)
S3: 1 dot 5 minutes full scale 120 dots = 10 hours (600 minutes)
S4: 1 dot 10 minutes full scale 120 dots = 20 hours (320 minutes)

(4) Horizontal axis display scale In short-term display, 360 dots, that is, 120 days are displayed on one screen as 3 dots / day. In the long-term display, 9 dots / month, that is, 40 months are displayed.

  As described above, the display of the staying time can be confirmed by the human sensor 19 installed for each place, such as the living room, bedroom, toilet, entrance, and bath. Here, a description will be given taking a display of a bedroom as an example. The stay time (bedroom) displays the total time spent in the bedroom during the day. You can see the change in stay time in the bedroom in one day. The main purpose of staying in the bedroom is thought to be sleep and rest. It is considered to be an index that can be used as a reference for life activity. Like other trend display screens such as daily behavior, you can use the mouse cursor to see the diary of the day you want to check in detail, and call the notification setting screen.

4.3 Daily maximum stay time FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a display screen of the maximum daily residence time displayed for each place, and here shows the stay time of the toilet.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the vertical axis is auto-scaled for 60 minutes and the horizontal axis is for short-term (3 months to 1 year) display, 1 memory is displayed for 1 day and long-term (3 years to 10 years) display. In this case, one memory is displayed in January, and the maximum daily time 500 of a predetermined place (toilet) is displayed on the maximum daily time display. In the short-term display, the maximum value of the stay time at the place for each day is displayed, and in the long-term display, the average value of the maximum day for one month is displayed.

In the daily maximum time display, the user can move the cursor 330 to an arbitrary position by operating a pointing device such as a mouse. In addition to the cursor 330, a horizontal axis line 330a indicating the horizontal axis where the cursor 330 is located and a vertical axis line 330b indicating the vertical axis are also displayed. The cursor 330, the horizontal axis line 330a, and the vertical axis line 330b are preferably displayed as thin lines having a color different from the display color of the maximum daily time 500. Further, in the maximum daily time display, the time 510 (for example, time 38 minutes) on which the horizontal axis 330a of the cursor 330 is hit and the data value 520 (on the date on which the vertical line 330b of the cursor 330 is hit). For example, toilet stay time March 18, 2001 Wake up 6:25
The maximum 18 minutes a day) is displayed.

  The user can intuitively understand the tendency of the maximum daily time for each location of the person to be watched by the daily maximum time display shown in FIG. , You can read the detailed information of the maximum time of day for each place.

  If the pointing device such as a mouse is right-clicked with the cursor 330 appearing (the cursor 330 is on the maximum daily time display), an alarm setting screen is opened and notification setting is enabled. This notification setting will be described later with reference to FIG.

  This data processing is performed for each sensor registered for each home device (HCR) 10 in each residence. For example, in the case of a standard system, four processes are performed: entrance, living room, bedroom, and toilet.

(5) Daily maximum Calculated from sensor data excluding the home appliance monitor and its hit count. The time from the specified sensor generation time to the next data generation time is calculated. This time is searched every day to obtain the maximum value. The unit of time data is seconds. same as below.

(6) Daily maximum monthly average Total daily maximum values for one month, and divide that value by the number of months. Rounded down to the nearest second.

(7) Vertical axis display scale An average value X of all data is obtained, and a scale is selected according to the following rules.
Scale = S1whereX ≦ 20 minutes Scale = S2where20 minutes <X ≦ 40 minutes Scale = S3where40 minutes <X ≦ 300 minutes Scale = S4where300 minutes <X

The following four scales are used.
S1: 2 dots 1 minute full scale 120 dots = 60 minutes S2: 1 dot 1 minute full scale 120 dots: 2 hours (120 minutes)
S3: 1 dot 5 minutes Full scale 120 dots: 10 hours (600 minutes)
S4: 1 dot 10 minutes full scale 120 dots = 20 hours (320 minutes)

(8) Horizontal axis display scale In short-term display, 360 dots, that is, 120 days are displayed on one screen as 3 dots / day. In the long-term display, 9 dots / month, that is, 40 months are displayed.

  As described above, the display of the living room, bedroom, toilet, entrance, and bath can be confirmed by the human sensor 19 installed for each place. Here, a description will be given taking a toilet display as an example. In the maximum time (toilet), the longest time in the toilet of the day is displayed. This can be used as a reference when setting the toilet stay time. Like other trend display screens such as daily behavior, you can use the mouse cursor to see the diary of the day you want to check in detail, and call the notification setting screen.

4.4 Daily Total Activity Count FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a display screen of the total daily movement count and the flow line pattern.
As shown in FIG. 8, when the vertical axis is displayed 0 to 150 times in auto scale, and the horizontal axis is displayed for a short period (3 months to 1 year), 1 memory is used for 1 day, and long term (3 years to 10 years). In the case of display, one memory is displayed in January, and the total daily movement count 600 and the flow line pattern 610 are displayed on the total daily movement count display. The flow line pattern 610 is a curve indicated by a + curve 610a and a −curve 610b with a flow line concentration rate of −100 to + 100% with the center being 0%. In the short-term display, the total number of movements per day is displayed, and in the long-term display, the daily average value for one month is displayed.

In the above-mentioned daily total movement count and flow line pattern display, the user can move the cursor 330 to an arbitrary position by operating a pointing device such as a mouse. In addition to the cursor 330, a horizontal axis line 330a indicating the horizontal axis where the cursor 330 is located and a vertical axis line 330b indicating the vertical axis are also displayed. The cursor 330, the horizontal axis line 330a, and the vertical axis line 330b are preferably displayed by thin lines having a color different from the display color of the daily total number of movements 600 and the flow line pattern 610. Further, the total number of movements per day and the flow line pattern display include the data value 620 (for example, 53 times) that the horizontal axis line 330a of the cursor 330 hits and the day that the vertical line 330b of the cursor 330 hits. The date and time 630 (for example, the number of movements March 18, 2001, wake up 6:25 total 67) is displayed.

  The user can intuitively understand the tendency of the total number of daily movements for each location of the person being watched by the daily total number of movements and the flow line pattern display shown in FIG. It is possible to read the detailed information of the total number of daily movements and the flow line pattern for each place of the person being watched over.

  If the pointing device such as a mouse is right-clicked with the cursor 330 appearing (the cursor 330 is on the daily total number of movements display), a wake-up notification setting screen is opened and notification setting becomes possible. Similarly, there is a method of opening a diary by right-clicking the mouse from the trend display. If you open the diary with a right mouse click, you can view and write only the relevant date. Since this diary function and notification setting are one of the features of this life monitoring system, they will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS.

  This data processing is performed for each sensor registered for each home device (HCR) 10 in each residence. For example, in the case of a standard system, four processes are performed: entrance, living room, bedroom, and toilet.

(1) Vertical axis display scale In this total number of movements and flow line pattern screen, the center of the vertical axis is set to 0 and the upper and lower sides are mirror-displayed. The full scale is 60 dots, which is half of 120 dots.

The maximum value MAX of all data is obtained, and the scale is selected according to the following rules.
Scale = S1whereMAX ≦ 600
Scale = S2where600 <MAX ≦ 1800
Scale = S3where1800 <MAX <: 6000
Scale = S4where6000 <MAX

The following four scales are used.
S1: 1 dot 10 full scale 60 dots = 600
S2: 1 dot 30 full scale 60 dots = 1800
S3: 1 dot 100 full scale 60 dots = 6000
S4: 1 dot 200 full scale 60 dots = 3200

(2) Horizontal axis display scale In short-term display, 360 dots, that is, 120 days are displayed on one screen as 3 dots / day. In the long-term display, 9 dots / month, that is, 40 months are displayed.

  Thus, in the display of indoor movement, a change in the state of movement from room to room during the day is displayed. Until you get up in the morning and go to bed, it is rare that the behavior in the house is very different every day, and generally a single pattern or a periodic pattern is repeated. If you check long-term changes, you can know the changes in your life. For example, it can be used as a trigger for finding a sign of weakness or illness or dementia. There are three indicators: total number of times, plus curve and minus curve. Each indicator is as follows. The total number of times is the total number of times of movement from room to room in a day. It is a measure of the amount of activity in daily activities. The plus curve represents a change in the ratio of movement to a place with the highest movement frequency. The minus curve represents the change in the ratio of movement to a place with the lowest movement frequency. These two tend to move away from the center if they behave differently. Care should be taken in case of sudden changes or unusual cycles.

4.5 Daily Total Activity Count FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a display screen for the total daily activity count.
As shown in FIG. 9, when the vertical axis is autoscale and the hit count is displayed from 0 to 2000 times, and the horizontal axis is short-term (3 months to 1 year), 1 memory is stored for 1 day and long-term (3 years to 10 years). In the case of (year) display, one memory is displayed in January, and the daily total activity count 700 is displayed on this daily total activity count display. In the short-term display, the total value of the hit count for each day is displayed, and in the long-term display, the daily average value for one month is displayed. The display is drawn vertically from the center line.

  In the total number of daily activities, the user can move the cursor 330 to an arbitrary position by operating a pointing device such as a mouse. In addition to the cursor 330, a horizontal axis line 330a indicating the horizontal axis where the cursor 330 is located and a vertical axis line 330b indicating the vertical axis are also displayed. The cursor 330, the horizontal axis line 330a, and the vertical axis line 330b are preferably displayed as thin lines having a color different from the display color of the daily total activity count 700. Further, in the total daily activity count display, the value 710 (eg, 38 minutes) of the data hit by the horizontal axis 330a of the cursor 330 and the value 720 of the data hit by the vertical line 330b of the cursor 330 are displayed. (For example, toilet stay time March 18, 2001 wake up 6:25 total 43 minutes) is displayed.

  The user can intuitively understand the tendency of the total number of daily activities for each location of the person to be watched by displaying the total number of daily activities shown in FIG. , You can read the detailed information of the total number of daily activities and flow pattern for each place.

  When the cursor 330 is displayed (the cursor 330 is on the daily total activity count display) and a pointing device such as a mouse is right-clicked, a wake-up notification setting screen is opened and notification settings can be made. Similarly, there is a method of opening a diary by right-clicking the mouse from the trend display. If you open the diary with a right mouse click, you can view and write only the relevant date. Since this diary function and notification setting are one of the features of this life monitoring system, they will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS.

  This data processing is performed for each sensor registered for each home device (HCR) 10 in each residence. For example, in the case of a standard system, four processes are performed: entrance, living room, bedroom, and toilet.

(1) Vertical axis display scale In this daily total activity count screen, the center of the vertical axis is set to 0 and the upper and lower sides are mirror-displayed. The full scale is 60 dots, which is half of 120 dots.

The maximum value MAX of all data is obtained, and the scale is selected according to the following rules.
Scale = S1whereMAX ≦ 600
Scale = S2where600 <MAX ≦ 1800
Scale = S3where1800 <MAX <: 6000
Scale = S4where6000 <MAX

The following four scales are used.
S1: 1 dot 10 full scale 60 dots = 600
S2: 1 dot 30 full scale 60 dots = 1800
S3: 1 dot 100 full scale 60 dots = 6000
S4: 1 dot 200 full scale 60 dots = 3200

(2) Horizontal axis display scale In short-term display, 360 dots, that is, 120 days are displayed on one screen as 3 dots / day. In the long-term display, 9 dots / month, that is, 40 months are displayed.

  Thus, in the indoor activity display, the total number of sensor reactions of the day is displayed. In addition to displaying daily activities, changes in activity can be confirmed. Even when there is no significant change in the wake-up / sleeping pattern, it is possible that the way people spend time indoors will change. Such changes can be read from this graph. When the display of the graph is large, it indicates that it is moving more in the room. For example, if you are watching TV in the living room with a taste, the graph will be smaller. If you usually do housework such as meal preparation and cleaning, you can see the difference. Further, when such a change in physical condition is continued or when the change has a cycle, it can be read from this display.

4.6 Flow line pattern and number of movements (in-room pattern)
FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the principle of the flow line pattern and the number of movements. FIG. 10A shows the movement ratio between rooms, and the calculation method will be described below. FIG. 10B shows the total of the flow line concentration rate and the number of movements for the day and January. FIG. 10B is a diagram in which the number of movements, the overall index, the peak A, and the peak B are displayed every predetermined period. The unit to be averaged can be specified by the user in, for example, one week, month, three months, or year, and a graph corresponding to the unit to be averaged can be displayed. In addition, an alarm can be set when the change range exceeds a certain value.

(1) Flow line pattern After collecting data for 3 months or more, create a number matrix of all data movement sources and movement destinations, calculate the total number of times for each movement source, and calculate the ratio of each movement destination. . The maximum value, its location, the minimum value, and its location are stored as standard data for each migration source, except for data that is a migration source. The ratio is calculated for each place (every place except going out) from the matrix of the day. The difference between the standard data value of the maximum value and the data value of the day is squared. When there is no error, it becomes 0, and when completely different, it becomes 100%. This value is taken as plus error data. Similarly, the value compared with the standard data of the minimum value is defined as negative error data. A curve connecting the respective data is called a plus error curve and a minus error curve, and is drawn on the same screen (see FIG. 10A). Note that the monthly data is the monthly average of the daily data.

(2) Number of movements The number of movements is the number of movements from one room to another.
In the short-term display, the total number of movements per day is displayed.
In the long-term display, the average value of the number of movements per day for one month is displayed.

(3) Vertical axis display scale Percentage display displays ± 50% with 1 dot at 1% with the center at 0. A value exceeding 50% displays 50%. The total number of movements should be such that the full scale is below the maximum value,
1 dot 1 time 1 dot 2 times Select a scale from 1 dot 5 times and display. However, when the maximum value exceeds 500 times, the full scale is set to 500, and the value is displayed as 500 above 500.

(4) Horizontal axis display scale In short-term display, 360 dots, that is, / 20 days are displayed on one screen as 3 dots / day. In the long-term display, 9 dots / month, that is, 40 months are displayed.

  1. The trend display was explained in detail. Next, 2. The pattern display will be described with reference to FIG.

  The pattern display is for viewing the daily life status of each day. The color bar displays the location of the place at which time of the day and the movement of the room in the day. This is a balloon chart that displays the number of times, and a map display that displays when and how long in which room.

5.1 Color Bar FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a color bar display screen, and FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the principle of color bar pattern recognition.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the color bar 800 displays a standard pattern 810, yesterday's pattern 820, today's pattern 830, display switching 840, and designated date 850 as a plurality of patterns.

  In the color bar display, the user can move the cursor 860 to an arbitrary position by operating a pointing device such as a mouse. Along with the cursor 860, a horizontal axis line 860a indicating the horizontal axis where the cursor 860 is located and a vertical axis line 860b indicating the vertical axis are also displayed. The cursor 860, the horizontal axis line 860a, and the vertical axis line 860b are preferably displayed as thin lines having a color different from the display color of the color bar 800. The color bar display also displays the time and place where the horizontal axis line 860a of the cursor 860 is hit (for example, the wake-up on March 18, 2001 19:25 bedroom).

  Color bar pattern recognition is also possible. In FIG. 13, a life pattern is learned using an HMM (Hidden Markov Model), and the patterns are classified. Then, the good day and the bad day are classified according to the declaration of the family or the person. Here, classification is easier if the diary function provided in the life monitoring system is used. A pattern set Mi for a good physical condition is calculated. This makes it possible to discover life patterns that make you feel better and to reflect on life as if you were playing a game.

Thus, on the color bar screen, the staying places in the room for each hour on the current day and the previous day are displayed in different colors for each place. In the standard configuration, the living room, bedroom, toilet, entrance, and outing are displayed. On this screen, you can check the approximate daily life.
・ Wake up: The time of travel from the bedroom to another room in the morning is a guide.
・ Closed: Estimated time of travel from night / living room to bedroom.
・ Outing: Displayed on the screen.
・ Number of toilets: The number of red lines can be confirmed.
While the user checks every day, the user can naturally understand the normal situation.

5.2 Activity Pattern FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a display screen of activity patterns, and FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram of the principle of activity amount and going out.

  As shown in FIG. 14, in the activity pattern 900, a standard pattern 910, yesterday's pattern 920, today's pattern 930, and display items 940 are displayed as a plurality of patterns. In the activity pattern 900, the total staying time of the person to be watched for each time zone is displayed in a circle of different sizes on a number line. In addition, the ratio of average staying places and the ratio of staying places yesterday are also displayed in circles.

In the activity pattern display, the user can move the cursor 860 to an arbitrary position by operating a pointing device such as a mouse. Along with the cursor 860, a horizontal axis line 860a indicating the horizontal axis where the cursor 860 is located and a vertical axis line 860b indicating the vertical axis are also displayed. The cursor 860, the horizontal axis line 860a, and the vertical axis line 860b are preferably displayed by thin lines having a color different from the display color of the activity pattern 900. In the activity pattern display, the time and place where the horizontal axis line 860a of the cursor 860 is hit (for example, wake up March 18, 2001 19:00) are displayed.

  The activity pattern display shown in FIG. 14 allows the user to intuitively understand the activity pattern of the person being watched up, going to bed, and going out, and by using the cursor 860 operation, Detailed information about sleeping and going out can be read.

  If a pointing device such as a mouse is right-clicked with the cursor 860 appearing (the cursor 860 is on the activity pattern display), an activity notification setting screen is opened and notification setting is enabled. Similarly, there is a method of opening a diary by right-clicking the mouse from the pattern display. If you open the diary with a right mouse click, you can view and write only the relevant date. Since this diary function and notification setting are one of the features of this life monitoring system, they will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS.

The amount of activity and going out will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 15A, a circle having a size corresponding to the length of stay time in each time zone is displayed on the time axis. The size of this circle indicates the total stay time of the person to be watched in each time zone, and a larger circular plot is displayed as the total stay time is longer. A scale is provided on the time axis every hour, and a circular plot is displayed on the scale. In the daily cycle graph (paloon chart) in FIG. 15A, the circle displayed on the time when the time axis indicates “08” in the 24-hour display indicates the staying time of the person being watched over at 8:00 am Yes. 8:00 am stands for 60 minutes from 8:00 am 00 seconds to 8:59 minutes 59 seconds.

  As shown in FIG. 15B, the average value display of the hit count number for each time zone can be created by the user specifying the unit to be averaged as one week, month, three months, or year. . It is also possible to set an alarm when the range of change exceeds a certain value.

  In the balloon chart shown in FIG. 14, only the number of sensor reactions is displayed without displaying where the room is. The number of sensor reactions is added when there is a person's movement, and this number is considered to increase as the movement increases. As the number of times increases, the displayed round shape (balloon) increases. The feature of this chart is that privacy is preserved because the location is unknown, and that the pattern of daily activities can be imagined. Use this pattern display when you are concerned about privacy in the color bar display, or when it is easier to understand how you live than when you move.

5.3 Stay Time Pattern FIGS. 16 to 19 are diagrams showing a display screen of the stay time pattern. FIG. 16 is a toilet pattern, FIG. 17 is a living room pattern, FIG. 18 is a bedroom pattern, and FIG. It is a bath pattern. The toilet pattern of FIG. 16 will be described as a representative.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the staying time pattern (here, the toilet pattern) 1000 includes a plurality of patterns, the distribution pattern 1010 so far, the pattern 1020 of yesterday, the pattern 1030 of today, the switching 1040 of the display, and the recalculation 1050. Is displayed. The staying time pattern 1000 is tabulated for each place, and the movement occurrence time to the place is plotted. Change the display color according to the length of your stay.

  In the stay time pattern display, the user can move the cursor 860 to an arbitrary position by operating a pointing device such as a mouse. Along with the cursor 860, a horizontal axis line 860a indicating the horizontal axis where the cursor 860 is located and a vertical axis line 860b indicating the vertical axis are also displayed. The cursor 860, the horizontal axis line 860a, and the vertical axis line 860b are preferably displayed by thin lines having a color different from the display color of the staying time pattern 1000. In the staying time pattern display, the time and place where the horizontal axis line 860a of the cursor 860 is hit (for example, a wake-up on March 18, 2001 19:00 bedroom) is displayed.

  The user can intuitively understand the toilet staying time pattern by the toilet pattern display shown in FIG. 16, and can read detailed information on the toilet of the person to be watched over at the desired date and time by operating the cursor 860. it can.

  When the cursor 860 is set to the distribution 1000 so far and a pointing device such as a mouse is right-clicked, the change notification setting screen is opened, and the change notification setting is enabled. This notification setting is one of the features of this life monitoring system, and will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS.

  Thus, in the display of the map maximum time, the top display represents the past one year. The displayed date is the bottom row, and one year ago is the top row. The leftmost is midnight, the middle row is 12:00 noon, the rightmost is 12:00 midnight, and one row represents 24 hours. The time spent in the bathroom is indicated by a circle. However, only when staying for a certain period of time is displayed. The color changes with the time of stay, and the time decreases in the order of red, yellow, and green. It is automatically adjusted so that the number of displays is 30 or more. From this display, you can see when and at what time in the bathroom you were long in the year. Toilet time is related to physical condition, and staying in the toilet for a long time is dangerous. It can also be used as a guide for setting the notification time. From this screen, you can call the unusual setting screen by right-clicking the mouse, so you can make settings while referring to the state of the past year. The display on the second row is an enlarged view of yesterday's situation. The bottom display is today's data.

  As described above, the details of the trend display and the pattern display included in the life monitoring system have been described. This life monitoring system is characterized in that an action can be performed by calling a setting screen from a data screen of a trend display with diary and a pattern display. In other words, while displaying past life data, if you make an abnormal setting or change the abnormal setting value, simulate the past data and check in advance how often and at what time it occurs It is what makes it possible. At this time, information known by the person or family, such as the schedule, purpose or mood of the action causing the action, is added as a diary function to enable more effective data viewing.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the diary writing operation of the life monitoring system with a diary function, which is executed by the host computer 21 of the monitoring center 20. In the figure, S indicates each step of the flow.

  First, in step S1, it is determined whether or not there is a diary entry request for the person to be watched, and if not, this flow ends. A diary entry request is started by opening a diary from the top of the family page or by opening the trend display / pattern display with a right mouse click. There are two methods for browsing the diary: a method of opening a diary from the top of the family page, as in writing a diary, and a method of opening a trend display / pattern display by right-clicking the mouse.

  Next, a diary entry screen and input auxiliary items (standard text) are displayed in step S2, and it is determined whether diary entry is completed in step S3. As input auxiliary items, As described in the diary function, it is a fixed phrase such as “I had a hard time”, “I feel depressed and depressed”, “I want to cry or want to cry”. The operation can be easily performed by calling and inputting this standard sentence. In the present embodiment, when the trend display / pattern display is opened by right-clicking the mouse, only the corresponding date is set to be browsed / written.

  Next, in step S4, it is determined whether or not there is a diagnostic item reference request for the person to be watched. If there is a diagnostic item reference request, the diagnostic item is displayed in step S5. If there is no diagnosis item reference request, the process proceeds to step S7. The diagnosis item is started by checking the diagnosis item provided in the diary entry column. As diagnostic items, 3. As described in the diary function, there are satisfaction levels such as going out, drugs, meals, and events.

  Next, in step S6, it is determined whether or not a diagnostic item is input. When a diagnostic item is input, the diary written in step S7 and the written diagnostic item are stored as diary data and diagnostic item data, respectively. This is recorded in the database 25 (for example, the database 25) and this flow is finished.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the notification setting operation of the life monitoring system with a diary function, which is executed by the host computer 21 of the monitoring center 20. In the figure, S indicates each step of the flow.

  First, in step S11, it is determined whether or not the family ID is valid. If a valid family ID is input, daily activity data with a diary is created and displayed in step S12. If the family ID is not valid, the following processing is not executed. One of the features of this form of staring is that a diary function is added to the daily activity data display. By adding a diary function to the daily activity data display, it is possible to view more effective data. The detailed operation of this step will be described later with reference to the subroutine of FIG.

  A person concerned with watching transmits an access signal from the personal computer 31 of the watching person's home 30 to the host computer 21 of the watching center 20. The access signal is transmitted to the host computer 21 via the network 40 and the data input / output control unit 22 of the watching center 20. In response to this access signal, the host computer 21 checks the input family ID, and if the family ID is a valid ID, the host computer 21 stores the past and present life data of the person to be watched stored in the database 25. Based on this, the display contents of the living behavior data shown in FIGS. 3 to 19 are created. The generated living behavior data of the person being watched over is transmitted to the host computer 21 via the data input / output control unit 22 of the watching center 20, and the host computer 21 responds to this access signal and accumulates the living behavior data. Create data display content. Then, the host computer 21 distributes the created display content to the personal computer 31 of the watcher's house 30 via the network 40. In this way, the watching-related person can browse the living behavior data of the watching target person by accessing the host computer 21 from the personal computer 31.

In step S13, the trend displays shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 developed from the trend display top screen shown in FIG. 3 or the patterns shown in FIGS. 12 to 19 developed from the pattern display top screen shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the pattern display is displayed. If the trend display or pattern display is displayed, it is determined in step S14 whether or not the trend display or pattern display is an action operation target display. If the trend display or pattern display is not displayed in step S13, or if the action operation target display is not displayed in step S14, this flow is terminated as it is.

  If the trend display or pattern display is an action operation target display in step S14, it is determined in step S15 whether designation / execution by an effective cursor operation is made on the trend display or pattern display. The effective cursor operation is, for example, when the pointing device such as a mouse is right-clicked with the cursor 330 on the circadian display shown in FIG. 5 and is excluded when the right-clicking is performed on a place outside the circadian display position. . Similarly, the pattern display is a case where the cursor 860 is set to the distribution pattern 1000 or yesterday's pattern 1020 of the toilet pattern display shown in FIG. 16 and a pointing device such as a mouse is right-clicked. If designation / execution is not performed by a valid cursor operation in step S15, the process waits until a valid cursor operation is performed.

  In step S16, the past notification setting information at the cursor designated position and the life information of the person to be watched are compared and displayed with reference to the database 25, or if the cursor designated position is in the future, simulation is performed based on the past life data. Create and display the notification data.

  Next, the data created in step S17 is stored in the storage device and sent to a user having a family ID (usually a watcher). In step S18, the number of accesses by the family ID is updated, and this flow is terminated.

  As a result, the user can call up the setting screen and perform actions simply by operating the mouse at an arbitrary position on the trend display or pattern display data display screen, and can make notification settings such as wake-up notification settings. .

  Therefore, in addition to being able to display data and change settings at the same time, it is possible to set change settings while displaying past life data, so what settings do you make against actual data? It is easy to see how the determination is made and appropriate settings can be made. In addition, if an action operation is performed with the cursor positioned at the present or the future, when an abnormal setting value is changed, simulation can be performed with past data to check in advance how often and at what time. Moreover, the search by conditions is also easy.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the display operation of the daily activity data with diary, and is a subroutine showing the detailed operation of step S12 of FIG.

  First, in step S31, it is determined whether or not the living situation notification function is set. If the living situation notification function is not set, the process proceeds to step S33. This notification function is set by checking the notification notification column on the top screen of the family page. When the life status notification function is set, the state of the target person's life on the top screen of the family page in step S32, the schedule of the day (the week), and the evaluation result of the previous day's life (daily or pattern) Or whether you ’re doing well. This display is expressed by words or illustrations. The illustrations are easy to understand for the elderly. It may be an animal or a fictional character.

Next, in step S33, useful information such as weather, temperature, fortune telling, biorhythm, etc. is displayed together with life activity data, and in step S34, living conditions (such as going out, shopping, gathering, etc., feeling depressed) Effective information related to the behavior and health status is displayed with reference to the diary data describing the psychological state of goodness. From the diary data, it is possible to obtain information such as the schedule, purpose, and mood of the action that causes the action by a method of extracting the related items by the keyword search and evaluating them after grouping. At this time, more reliable information can be obtained if the above-mentioned fixed phrases, such as “There was a hard time” and “Somewhat tired” are called and used. In return for providing diary data and data created based on diary data to research sites on the Internet, receive data, behavior and health information, or enjoy discounts on services on the Internet. You can also.

  In step S35, referring to the diagnosis item data, if there is diagnosis item data to be displayed, information related to the health condition is displayed. Next, in step S36, it is determined whether or not a birthday or event schedule has been input. If a birthday or event schedule has been input, in step S37 travel, ticket information, and advertisement banners related to the birthday or event are displayed. This is displayed to end the present flow and return to the main flow of FIG.

  By executing the diary function operation of the life monitoring system with diary function described above, the following evaluation / diagnosis can be realized.

  First, the basic specifications of the diary function will be described, and then specific evaluation / diagnosis operations will be described with reference to FIGS.

〔basic specifications〕
(1) The fixed sentence in the input screen of the diary is used as a diagnostic item for evaluating the depression state.
(2) It has a function of searching for the diagnostic item (1) above, summing up the occurrence frequency in a certain period, and displaying it in a time-series graph.
(3) The diagnosis item of (1) above consists of a positive factor and a negative factor. When the occurrence frequency is totaled in (2) above, the positive factor is positive 1, and the negative factor is negative 1.
(4) The evaluation item of satisfaction and / or happiness is included in the diary input screen.
(5) Include social activity evaluation items in the diary input screen.
(6) Daily life evaluation items are included in the diary input screen.
(7) The evaluation results, diagnosis results, and life data of the above (4) to (6) are displayed on the same time axis.

〔Example〕
FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the subjective / behavior trend display top screen. FIG. 25 is a diagram illustrating a display example of a subjective (depression) index, and FIG. 26 is a diagram illustrating a screen example in which a circadian and a subjective (depression) index are displayed side by side.

In the diary screen shown in FIG.
Negative factor "There was a hard time"
"I feel depressed and depressed"
"I want to cry or cry"
"Somehow tired"
"I can't stay calm"
“It ’s great to meet people.”
Positive factor "There was fun"
"It was pleasant"
"It had been enhanced"
“I was able to make an easy decision”
It is assumed that the diary data is obtained. Based on this diary data, changes in depression are displayed in a graph.

  When subjectivity (depression) is selected from the subjectivity / behavior trend display top screen (FIG. 24), a graph of changes in the depression state shown in FIG. 25 can be displayed. This graph retrieves the above sentence from the diary data records, and if one negative factor is found, it is -1 and if one positive factor is found, it is +1, and the total value for each day is obtained. It is the graph which arranged the bar of the different color according to. In FIG. 25, when the depression index is negative, it is shown in white. The graph expression may be, for example, a line or bar graph other than this method.

From FIG. 25, the evaluation result of satisfaction, happiness, social activity, and daily life can be displayed simultaneously in addition to the display screen showing the change of the depression state. The trend processed from the sensor data can also be displayed at the same time. FIG. 26 shows a screen example in which the circadian and the subjective (depression) index are displayed side by side. The following trends can be read from this screen display.
・ If you continue to be depressed, you will not go out.
・ Change has periodicity.

  By using (referring to) this display, it is possible to read the relationship between the behavior found from the sensor data and the subjectivity / behavior found from the diary. By knowing the relationship specific to the target person from this graph, it is possible to infer mental changes from daily sensor data. For example, in the above-described example, a change in a period of frequent going-out may indicate a depression, and some people find a correlation between a change in wake-up time and social activity.

  Knowing these relevance, by promoting outings and social activities, it is possible to improve the quality of life by actively soliciting those who seem to be able to maintain a good mental state. It becomes possible. In addition, there is no need to make an unsolicited solicitation for unrelated people. These cares can be appropriately handled by a well-experienced health professional or care worker by observing the conversation with the subject and observing the subject. In this way, objective evaluation can be performed based on the data, so that even inexperienced persons and families without specialized knowledge can take appropriate measures.

  As described above, the monitoring center 22 of the monitoring system according to the present embodiment is a host computer that realizes a living behavior data creation / display function that creates and displays living behavior data that enables analysis of the lifestyle behavior of the person being watched over. 21. A data input / output control unit 22 for connecting to the network 40 to transmit and receive data, an input unit 23 for inputting data, a display unit 24 for displaying data, and storing a contractor's mail address and life information In addition, the host computer 21 includes a management database 25 that stores the diary information of the person to be watched over and the family, and the host computer 21 makes it possible to analyze the living behavior based on the life information and the diary information accumulated in the management database 25. Is created and displayed, such as the schedule or purpose of the action that causes the action, Life behavior data information to know the family has been added can be displayed. Therefore, the state of the life of the person being watched over, such as the elderly, the schedule of the day (the week), the evaluation result of the previous day's life (whether it is daily or whether it is healthy from the tendency of the pattern), and the life situation (outing, shopping , Activities such as gatherings and psychological situations such as being depressed or feeling good) are displayed as living behavior data, so a more detailed monitoring service can be provided.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the abnormality notification parameter calculated by the host computer 21 of the monitoring center 20 is transmitted to the home device 10 and stored in the home device 10, and the home device 10 side based on this parameter and sensor information. The occurrence of abnormality is detected and notified to the watcher's house 30 via the watch center 20, but this abnormality determination function may be performed on the watch center 20 side.

  In addition, although the elderly person's house in which an elderly person lives and the watcher's house 30 which watches the elderly person were demonstrated as a representative example, an elderly person and a watcher are only names for convenience of explanation, and limit the object of this system. It is not a thing. For example, it is of course possible to watch over the elderly and the sick.

  In the present embodiment, the name “life watching system” is used. However, this is for convenience of explanation, and it is needless to say that a watching service system, a life watching method, and the like may be used.

  Furthermore, the display data shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 19 and the display examples shown in FIG. 23 to FIG. 26 are merely examples, and the living behavior that makes it possible to analyze the living behavior of the watching target person based on the life information accumulated in the database. Any data can be created and displayed.

  In addition, any trend display or pattern display is possible, and any data display that is analyzed for each elderly person from data collected for a certain period of time and displayed in an easy-to-understand manner for service users can be used. A simple display screen may be used.
