  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described. A block diagram of the first embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1, and an external view is shown in FIG. 1 and 2, the mobile terminal device 10 includes a mobile phone circuit 1 and a remote control circuit 3 housed in one unit 5. The cellular phone circuit 1 is provided with an antenna 7 so that it can communicate with a cellular phone base station (not shown) by radio. The cellular phone circuit 1 is provided with a speaker 9 and a microphone 11 so that a radio call can be made with the other party.

  The remote control circuit 3 has a light transmission / reception unit 13 at the tip of the unit 5, and can communicate with, for example, a television, video, radio cassette, etc. by infrared rays, ultrasonic waves, radio, lasers, or the like. . Various keys such as a numeric keypad 15 and operation keys 17 and a liquid crystal screen 21 are disposed on the operation display unit 20.

  Keys are shared by the mobile phone circuit 1 and the remote control circuit 3. The control unit 23 performs adjustment and control between the circuits. A clock function unit 25 is disposed in the unit 5 so as to manage the date and time of the entire system. The mode of the television, the air conditioner, or the like can be switched by the switching button 14, and setting items and the like are displayed on the liquid crystal screen 21.

  The human abnormality determination unit 27 determines that an elderly person or the like cannot move due to abnormal physical condition or is in a dangerous state due to illness or the like. The power supply unit 29 is a common power supply for the mobile phone circuit 1, the remote control circuit 3, and the like, and can be charged electromagnetically by placing the unit 5 on the charging device 61.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
According to the mobile phone circuit 1, it is possible to make a phone call as a mobile phone with the other party dial-selected with the numeric keypad 15. You can also receive calls from the other party. Further, it can be connected to the Internet. On the other hand, according to the remote control circuit 3, it is possible to communicate with a television, video, or the like by infrared rays, and it is possible to change channels, switch on / off, adjust volume, and the like.

First, the operation of the person abnormality determination unit 27 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
In step 1 of FIG. 3 (abbreviated as S1 in the figure; hereinafter the same), the flow of the determination of a human abnormality starts when the power supply unit 29 is turned on. In step 2, it is determined whether or not the sleep button 63 is pressed.

  The sleep button 63 is pressed when the user wants to take a nap or go to bed, or when a warning or the like is not desired. When the sleep button 63 is pressed, it is in a standby state until it is manually released. Alternatively, it is automatically canceled after elapse of a preset time (for example, a time substantially exceeding the bedtime). Further, when the wake-up time is set, the wake-up time may be automatically canceled.

  If the sleep button 63 is not pressed, the timer is reset in step 3 and then counted in step 4. In step 5, the timer counted time is set by the user in advance. Compared with T. Then, when the timer count time exceeds the set time T, the process proceeds to step 7. It is desirable to shorten the setting time T in order to improve the accuracy of human abnormality determination.

  When the set time T is set to a long value such as 24 hours, for example, it is not necessary to press the sleep button 63, but the accuracy of human abnormality determination is reduced. However, when sleeping at a fixed time every day, it may be determined that the person's abnormality is not detected during these times depending on the setting.

  Also, according to the physical condition of the user of the day, the items “physical condition is good”, “physical condition is normal”, “physical condition is slightly bad”, and “physical condition is not good” are displayed on the liquid crystal screen 21. 21 to select the physical condition of the day. Then, the set time T, the number of warnings, and the like corresponding to each item may be automatically set in stages.

  Alternatively, the set time T or the like corresponding to the physical condition may be continuously adjustable by bar display or the like. Further, when the blood pressure, the number of stays, the body temperature, and the like are detected by a separately provided detection system and data is transmitted to a predetermined destination via the portable terminal device 10, the set time depends on the numerical value of the blood pressure and the like. You may make it set T, the frequency | count of a warning, etc. automatically.

  In step 7, it is determined whether any key operation has been performed. If the key is operated, it is determined that the person is normal, and the process returns to step 2. If no key operation is performed, there is a possibility of an abnormality such as a person falling down, so a warning is given in step 9. This warning is a blinking liquid crystal screen 21, an intermittent electronic sound, or a message such as "Are you sure? Press any key."

  It is determined in step 11 whether or not the warning is released. If the warning is released, the process returns to step 2. If the warning is not released, an emergency call is made to a predetermined contact at step 13. However, the warning in step 9 may be repeated several times at intermittent intervals, and then the process may proceed to step 13.

  When an elderly person or the like watches TV or makes a phone call, it can be determined that the person's physical condition is normal. Further, it can be suspected that it is abnormal that a channel operation or the like is not performed for a predetermined time.

  Since it has a mobile phone function, when it is determined that there is an abnormality, it is automatically connected to a destination registered in advance as an emergency call immediately after a predetermined warning, and contact is made. In this case, communication with an elderly person or the like can be made directly by a call from the other party through a built-in speaker (not shown) facing the back side of the mobile terminal device 10.

  Since no other members other than the mobile terminal device 10 are required, the mobile terminal device 10 can be configured at low cost. Since the mobile phone and the remote control function are integrated, the number of parts is reduced. However, the circuit and keys can be configured without being shared. Since both a mobile phone and a remote control are used, the frequency of key operations is high.

  In addition, since both the remote control and the telephone are used for the elderly and the like on a daily basis, it can be expected to improve the accuracy of the determination of a human abnormality. Since the mobile terminal device 10 can be taken out as a mobile phone, the mobile terminal device 10 is not limited to the indoor-only determination process. People can be protected even when going out.

  The remote controller is not limited to the television and video, but may be used in the mobile terminal device 10 for air conditioners, lighting, audio equipment, car televisions, car air conditioners, and the like. The set time T may be set in two types. For example, since the remote control function can be frequently used indoors, the set time T can be set small. On the other hand, only mobile phones are used outdoors.

  For this reason, it is assumed that the frequency of key operations outdoors is small compared to indoors. Accordingly, the set time T is set large. In order to automatically switch between the indoor mode and the outdoor mode, for example, a switch is provided between the charging device 61 and the mobile terminal device 10 to determine that the mobile terminal device 10 is carried and separated by a person.

  Alternatively, when the charging device 61 intermittently irradiates infrared rays or sends weak radio waves and the mobile terminal device 10 leaves the room, the mode switching is automatically performed due to a decrease in the light amount or radio wave amount. May be. Note that it may be determined that the person is normal by turning the switch on and off or switching the mode.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
2nd Embodiment of this invention is about the processing method at the time of the portable terminal device 10 being carried. In this case, since it is assumed that there are few opportunities to use the telephone function, vibrations such as body movement and movement are detected in addition to the detection of the switch operation. As shown in FIG. 4, Step 8 is added between Step 7 and Step 9, which is a step for determining whether body movement or the like has been detected (not shown).

  An example of the configuration of the body motion detection unit is shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, the spherical body 31 is held by springs 33 on all sides. The spring 33 and the sphere 31 are electrically conductive, and an electric current flows when the sphere 31 contacts the metal wall 35 or the metal lids 37a and 37b. The pulse detection circuit 39 can detect the pulse signal by converting the current change into a voltage and shaping the waveform.

  FIG. 6 shows another example of the body motion detection unit. In FIG. 6, hollow electromagnetic coils 41a and 41c are disposed on the x-axis, and hollow electromagnetic coils 41b and 41d are disposed on the y-axis and intersect at the origin. The electromagnetic coil 41 is fixed to the center of the metal lid 47.

  Magnet rods 43a, 43b, 43c, 43d are movably inserted inside the electromagnetic coils 41a, 41b, 41c, 41d, and one end of a spring 45 is attached to the outer end of the magnet rod 43. The end is fixed to the peripheral wall 47.

  The terminals of the electromagnetic coils 41a and 41c and the electromagnetic coils 41b and 41d are connected in series, respectively, and the extracted inter-terminal voltage is input to the pulse detection circuits 49A and 49B.

  In such a configuration, body motion is detected by comparing the magnetomotive force of the electromagnetic coil 41 generated by the movement of the magnet bar 43 with a preset voltage value.

  Alternatively, a metal bar may be used instead of the magnet bar 43, and a constant current may be passed through the electromagnetic coil 41 to detect the movement of the metal bar as a change in the induced electromotive force. Further, regardless of the induction phenomenon, a cylinder is provided instead of the electromagnetic coil 41, a slit is provided at an appropriate position on the side of the cylinder, light is passed between the slits, and this light is transmitted by movement of the metal rod. The vibration may be detected by the optical element by detecting whether or not the light is blocked.

  Furthermore, if the portable terminal device 10 is worn on the waist or the like, the vibration detection can be used for a pedometer. The liquid crystal screen 21 displays how many steps have been taken. A daily history may be displayed. A daily target step count may be set, and the comparison result may be displayed on the liquid crystal screen 21. A person can be judged normal during vibration detection.

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The third embodiment of the present invention replaces the vibration detection in step 8 of FIG. 4 with a navigation service using the global positioning system (GPS) by the mobile phone circuit 1 and the strength of received radio waves transmitted from each transmitting station. The movement of a person is detected by receiving.

  When the outdoor mode described above is entered, the mobile terminal device 10 periodically checks the position at predetermined time intervals using GPS or the like. Then, it is calculated whether or not the position has moved, and if there is a movement, it is determined that the person is normal. When there is no movement for a predetermined time, a warning is issued, and when there is no response to the warning, the mobile phone circuit 1 contacts a predetermined destination.

  In addition, you may make it always detect the fluctuation | variation of light quantities, such as a fluorescent lamp and infrared rays, by the photon detection element of the light transmission / reception part 13 incorporated in the portable terminal device 10 irrespective of this GPS. The amount of light between the rooms is different, and it is possible to detect the on / off of the electric lamp in the room with the degree of fluctuation of the light amount.

  In the case of natural light, the amount of light usually changes gradually, so that the movement of a person can be detected by obtaining the variation rate. When a curtain or the like is operated, or when the mobile terminal device 10 is put in a bag or the like, it is determined that the amount of fluctuation in the amount of light is large and that a person is normal. Further, a separate light detection element may be provided in the mobile terminal device 10 regardless of the light detection element of the light transmitting / receiving unit 13.

Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, a television program guide 71 is downloaded to the mobile terminal device 10 so as not to miss a television program or a radio program desired to be viewed. Elderly people tend to forget that there are programs that they want to watch.

  For this reason, a program or the like to be viewed is accurately presented to the user and key operations are appropriately performed, thereby further promoting the use of the mobile terminal device 10 and increasing the detection accuracy of the human abnormality.

  The mobile terminal device 10 is connected to the Internet, and downloads a program guide 71 as shown in FIG. 7 to the server once a week or once a month. The program guide 71 is composed of, for example, an HTML document. Downloading should be done automatically. Alternatively, the same processing may be performed on a bidirectional digital television or the like.

  In FIG. 7, for example, Sunday program and G code of channel 1 of the NHK television are displayed on the liquid crystal screen 21. If the operation key 17 is operated in the vertical direction, the time can be advanced. Furthermore, if the operation is continued in the vertical direction, it is possible to move to the program table 71 with different days.

  Further, the date can be updated by repeatedly operating the shift key 67. However, at this time, a calendar 100 as shown in FIG. 13 is displayed. Then, by specifying the date from the calendar 100, the program guide 71 belonging to the date may be downloaded from the server. The program table 71 is automatically changed to the current time when a predetermined time has elapsed. On the other hand, the channel can be changed by operating the operation key 17 in the left-right direction.

  As described above, when the program table 71 is repeated and a program to be viewed is found, the program can be registered in advance. In this case, registration can be performed by positioning the cursor on the program and pressing the enter button 65. Registration for multiple programs is possible.

  Next, a method for displaying the program display on the liquid crystal screen 21 in a form according to the user's preference will be described. First, the average audience rating for each program of the user is calculated based on the flowchart of FIG.

  In step 21, the process is started. In step 23, today's date is read from the clock function unit 25. In step 25, one channel, for example, the first channel is selected. In step 27, the occupation time of the program is obtained. For example, in the example of FIG. 7, the first channel is occupied from 12:00 to 13:00 (including news programs for simplification), and the third channel is occupied from 12:00 to 12:20. is there.

  In step 29, the time that the program of the first channel was viewed by the user is totaled. In step 31, the ratio of the time viewed by the user to 60 minutes, which is the occupation time of the program of the first channel, is calculated. In step 33, the processing from step 25 is repeated for all channels. In step 35, the calculated audience rating corresponding to each program is stored.

  In step 37, it is determined whether or not the date coincides with the day on which an irregular program such as New Year or Bon Festival is prepared. If they match, the process returns to step 23. On the other hand, if they do not match, the process proceeds to step 39, and the average of weekly is calculated for the calculated audience rating. For example, the average of data from 2 to 3 weeks ago is taken. However, the average is taken only when the program name of this week and the program name match, and when there is no match, the average is not taken.

  Next, a method of notifying the appropriate program from the user's past viewing trend and program registration will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step 51, the process is started. In step 53, today's day of the week and time are read from the clock function unit 25. In step 55, it is determined whether there is a program registered by the user. If it is determined that there is a registered program, in step 57, a registered channel is selected. If it is determined that there is no registered program, in step 59, the current time data belonging to the current day calculated in step 39 is compared for each channel, and the largest numerical data is extracted as the estimated program. To do.

  However, this estimated program may be extracted in advance and displayed as a notice. The program estimated at this time is a program estimated to be viewed by the user from the past history. At this time, the program names of the channels (may be G codes) are compared, and if the program has been changed, it may be notified that the program has been changed.

  In step 61, the program on the liquid crystal screen 21 is displayed on the first line of the screen. In the case of a registered program, an electronic sound is blown or the screen is blinked. If a registered program exists, this display or the like may be performed a predetermined time ago. When the displayed program is not the desired program, the user searches the desired program by moving the program table 71 as appropriate using the operation keys 17.

  When the user is an elderly person, it is desirable to stop the presentation of the program only for display or the like and to perform the key operation of the subsequent program manually by hand so that the key operation is performed. However, for general users, the program may be automatically switched according to the displayed program without manual input.

  The G code may be transmitted to the video by performing a transmission operation on the program. Also, according to the setting, when the operation key 17 is operated in the vertical direction, only registered programs or estimated programs can be displayed on the screen one after another.

  When communicating with a predetermined server in order to download a program, it is possible to collect the audience ratings if the calculated audience ratings are transmitted in units of weeks in step 35. This audience rating corresponds to each program, but the date and time and the channel information viewed by the user are acquired and stored as the sampling data from moment to moment.

  This data is collected and collected at the time of communication. If the collected data is analyzed on the server side, the instantaneous audience rating of the program can also be calculated. It is also possible to make communication costs with the server free or low for the cost of collecting the audience rating.

  In this communication, it is desirable to set the clock of the clock function unit 25. Further, program download and display, audience rating calculation, and the like may be performed on the television side, not on the mobile terminal device 10 side. In this case, the screen is large and the number of displayed items increases, so that it becomes easier to see.

  Next, a case where a program including today's current time is selected from the program table 71 will be described.

  The mobile terminal device 10 incorporates a receiving device capable of receiving a broadcast program such as a television or radio. The received broadcast program is displayed as an image on the liquid crystal screen 21 and the sound can be heard from the speaker 9 or the earphone. The speaker 9 can also be used for guidance in the event of a human abnormality. The storage unit (not shown) of the mobile terminal device 10 stores application software for extracting a channel number from the downloaded program guide and switching the channel of the receiving device based on the channel number.

  The selected channel information is transmitted from the transmission / reception unit 13 to a television or radio separately provided by infrared, radio, ultrasonic waves, etc., and these channels can be changed by remote operation. In the outdoor mode, when the program selected from the downloaded program guide 71 is a program including today's current time, channel information is first extracted by the mobile terminal device 10.

Based on this channel information, the channel of the receiving device is switched. The broadcast program received on this channel is displayed as an image on the liquid crystal screen 21, and audio flows from the speaker 9 or the earphone.
This increases the chances of using the mobile terminal device 10 even outdoors.

Next, a method for searching for a desired program from the program table 71 will be described.
The program name, performer name, etc. are associated with each other in hiragana and / or katakana notation and transmitted together with the program table 71.

  Further, the contents of the program are analyzed into predetermined words such as nouns, and are similarly transmitted in correspondence with hiragana equivalents. The transmitted data is stored in a storage unit (not shown). As for the contents of the program, it is desirable to transmit not only headline items found in newspapers but also detailed data such as song titles.

  For example, when the user wants to search for “Hibari Misora”, the user presses the search button. At this time, a search box is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 21. The user inputs, for example, “mi” and “so” and at least one character, which is a reading of the first part of the characters forming the term or the kanji character of the first part, by key operation.

  Thereafter, when this search button is pressed, a candidate program having “mi” and “so” character heads is searched from the storage unit. As a result, the program in which “Mibari Hibari” appears can be extracted and registered. If the shift key 67 is operated, the program as the next detection result is displayed.

  By making such a search possible, convenience increases and the frequency of key operations increases when the user is an elderly person. Note that this search method is not limited to the program guide 71 but can also be applied to downloadable song names, singer names, and the like. The search may be performed by a search engine on the server side.

  When each program in the program guide 71 is selected, the broadcast content explanation 101 of the program is downloaded through the Internet. The broadcast content explanation 101 is composed of, for example, an HTML document. As shown in FIG. 14, the broadcast content explanation 101 is displayed divided into a plurality of blocks 103a to 103g according to the broadcast content. Each block 103 has a topic 105 and a simple content summary 107 described in text.

  In addition, although news etc. may be displayed as one block, you may partition into a block according to every news item. The keywords or full text of the broadcast content explanation 101 are registered as a database in a search engine, and can be searched by inputting a desired keyword. The broadcast content explanation 101 as a result of the search is downloaded and displayed on the liquid crystal screen 21.

  Next, a case where there are programs that have been broadcast in the past and that the user has missed will be described.

  In such a case, the user returns to the past program table 71 using the calendar 100 or the like, and selects a missed program. The past program table 71 may be stored in the mobile terminal device 10, but may be downloaded from the server side. Alternatively, a keyword search may be performed by a search engine. For example, in the case of FIG. 14, it is possible to perform a search by taking a logical product of “a clear television” and “what day is today” and specifying a range by date. If there is a program that you want to watch, select that program.

At this time, the URL (or G code) which is the address of the selected program is transmitted to the server, and the program with the matching URL is extracted on the server side.
The program is then downloaded. The program is, for example, a file compatible with streaming processing, and the reproduction processing is performed in real time without waiting for complete download of the file. Application software necessary for reproduction and the like is stored in the storage unit in advance.

  This file is configured corresponding to each block 103. In other words, one program is appropriately cut at a portion that is well-delimited according to the contents of each of the blocks 103a to 103g to form a partial file.

  Each of the blocks 103a to 103g is embedded with a URL, which is a relative address, and by selecting each block 103, a linked partial file is extracted and can be played back. A plurality of selections can be made for the selection of the block 103. In this case, a plurality of partial files are reproduced in order. If the program name 111 is selected, all partial files are reproduced in order.

  Note that it is difficult to take notes in a short time, such as recipes displayed during broadcasting (in FIG. 14, information is included in block 103d), e-mail addresses, etc. What is to be confirmed again may be configured by an independent partial file.

  In this case, only a portion where the recipe exists may be cut into a partial file, and the front and back may also be converted into a partial file. However, a recipe or the like broadcast in the partial file linked to the block 103d may be maintained as it is, and a new partial file independent from the end of the partial file may be created.

  At this time, when all the partial files are reproduced, the last partial file in which this recipe exists is not reproduced. However, even if it is played back, the contents will be duplicated, but there is no problem because it is a short time. It is desirable that the file can be paused, rewound, fast forwarded, etc. The image may be printed by a separately connected printer or the like.

  Further, the partial files belonging to each block 103 include those that include commercials and those that do not. For a partial file containing a commercial, a portion corresponding to this commercial is cut and a partial file is created before and after.

  Then, a partial file including another commercial by a new manufacturer is inserted in place of the commercial of the manufacturer at the time of broadcasting. This can help the new manufacturer for rebroadcasting. However, if the support from the manufacturer at the time of the first broadcast is obtained, it will remain as it is.

  When only a partial file that does not include a commercial is downloaded, the partial file that includes the commercial is inserted in the first part or in the middle, and then downloaded. The commercial time is preferably the same as that at the time of the first broadcast, but is not necessarily limited to this.

  The commercial is appropriately selected from those registered in advance on the server side and inserted. A plurality of commercials may be combined sequentially to enable continuous broadcasting. The commercial cost may be determined according to the number of accesses to the partial file including the commercial by the user. Therefore, the user can watch a broadcasted program broadcasted in the past for free at any time.

  In addition, it may be downloaded in a form without commercials according to the user's selection. In this case, it is desirable to be charged as a fee.

  Further, the broadcast content explanation 101 can be stored in the mobile terminal device 10 together with the partial file. Therefore, it is possible to extract and play back the desired broadcast content explanation 101 by text search on the mobile terminal device 10 (eg, “Stiff shoulder” in the example of FIG. 14). At this time, since the user can read the broadcast content explanation 101, the user can select the block 103 of only a necessary part and view it with video and audio after understanding the overview of the program.

  The outline is efficient because it is possible to read only important points obliquely. Also, even if the saved partial file is downloaded and viewed so as to see all, it is possible to reproduce only the portion selected in block 103 without reproducing all of the partial files again. .

Note that the mobile terminal device 10 may be an information terminal device such as a personal computer. Further, the program download or the like may be performed on the television side, not on the mobile terminal device 10 side. At this time, the operation is performed by the remote control function of the mobile terminal device 10.
As described above, it is possible to view already broadcasted programs as well as currently broadcasted programs.

  By enabling such an operation, convenience is increased, and when the user is an elderly person, the frequency of key operations of the mobile terminal device 10 is increased even when the user is out.

Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the fifth embodiment of the present invention, an emergency switch 69 is provided in the mobile terminal device 10. When an elderly person presses the emergency switch 69, a call is automatically made to a predetermined emergency contact address, and a call can be made. At this time, it is possible to talk by hand through the speaker on the back of the mobile terminal device 10.

Next, a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The sixth embodiment of the present invention enables time management to be set in the mobile terminal device 10.

First, a time management method in the case of taking a nap or going to bed will be described.
When the sleep button 63 is pressed, a bar 81 in FIG. 10 is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 21. The upper end of the bar 81 is the current time.

  A time scale is displayed below the current time. The wake-up time is set by moving the cursor 83 up and down with the operation key 17. In the example of FIG. 10, it is assumed that the current time is 14:35 and that it is desired to wake up at 16:00. Press the enter button 65 to set.

  At this time, for example, the television is turned on for 15 minutes, which is a predetermined time. After 15 minutes, the TV is automatically turned off and turned on again at 16:00, the wake-up time. At this time, the sleep mode is canceled.

  The TV is then turned off manually. If the user still cannot sleep after 15 minutes, the user presses the sleep button 63 again to turn on the television again for 15 minutes. However, the time display method may be such that an analog clock is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 21 regardless of the bar display, and the wake-up time can be set.

  In this case, the program is automatically selected simply by pressing the sleep button 63, and it is possible to view a favorite program or a registered program that is viewed every week. Therefore, it is not necessary to use extra nerves such as selecting a program in a sleepy state. It is possible to go to sleep on a user's favorite program every week or every day and to wake up with a favorite program. It should be noted that the selection of the physical condition of the day on the liquid crystal screen 21 described above is preferably automatically displayed when the user wakes up and selected.

Next, a time management method in the case of cooking, bathing, etc. will be described.
When the timer button 85 is pressed, a bar 87 in FIG. 11 is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 21. The lower end of the bar 81 is the timer start time. The timer is set by moving the operation key 17 up and down. The set timer is started by pressing the enter button 65. The amount is displayed so that the remaining amount of the timer is visible.

  As described above, the mobile terminal device 10 can be frequently operated in daily life.

Next, a time management method for taking medicine will be described.
Many elderly people are taking some medicine. Also, for some reason, you may forget to take this medicine, or you may not be able to take it at the time your doctor has instructed. In addition to reducing such harmful effects, the mobile terminal device 10 is operated as many times as possible to improve the accuracy of determination of a human abnormality.

  In FIG. 12, when the post-meal button 91 is pressed at the end of the meal, a message or an alarm saying “It is time to take medicine” is sounded within 20 minutes after the meal, for example, 20 minutes after the meal. Time can be changed. At this time, the post-meal button 91 may blink. Thereafter, manual release is performed.

  Further, when the inter-mesh button 93 is pressed at the end of the meal, a message or an alarm saying “It is time to take medicine” is sounded and notified during the inter-meal period, for example, 3 hours after the meal. Thereafter, manual release is performed. If the mealtime button 93 is also pressed at the end of the meal, it is easy for the elderly to understand. If you take both post-meal and inter-meal medications, the setting is easy at once.

  Further, when the pre-meal button 95 is pressed, a bar 97 is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 21. By raising and lowering the operation key 17, a meal time or a meal time is set. At this time, for example, 20 minutes before meal time, a message or an alarm saying “It is time to take medicine” is sounded and notified. Thereafter, manual release is performed.

  Since the after-meal button 91, the between-meal button 93, and the before-meal button 95 are based on the meal time, it is easy to remember. Further, since the key operation is performed at each time of setting and releasing, the key operation is performed on a daily basis, and the accuracy of human abnormality determination can be improved.
