Description

  The present invention relates to a single-person monitoring system for a single-person household that checks safety in order to watch single-person households of single-person households such as elderly people living alone and disabled persons living alone.

In recent years, so-called single-person households, such as elderly people living alone, disabled persons living alone, etc., have increased. In particular, the number of elderly people living alone has increased remarkably due to the recent aging and nuclear family. .
On the other hand, due to the recent depopulation and decrease in neighborhood relationships, it is impossible to expect watching by neighbors, and there are limits to visits by medical personnel and life supporters, so elderly people living alone, bodies living alone In many cases, it is not possible to sufficiently confirm the safety of persons with disabilities, and as a result, there is a problem that the response when an abnormality occurs is delayed.

Therefore, as one of countermeasures for problems, for example, a monitoring system for an elderly person living alone, a disabled person living alone, and the like is known.
For example, in Patent Document 1, a wireless communication device is attached to an electric product such as an electric pot or a rice cooker in a home, and operation information of the electric product is transmitted to a monitor means, so that an elderly person living alone or a disabled person living alone A life monitoring system that can monitor the safety of a person or the like over a long distance is described.
Further, for example, in Patent Document 2, a safety signal for an elderly person living alone can be easily detected by detecting a signal emitted from a television remote control and transmitting a survival confirmation necessary signal when the signal is not detected again within a predetermined time. A device that can be confirmed is described.
Furthermore, although not described in the prior art document, there is a known system for confirming the safety of elderly people by attaching a sensor for detecting running water to a water supply pipe of a flush toilet and transmitting the signal through a communication device. ing.

The flowcharts thereof are shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, 10, 11, 13, and 14.

  In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a single person monitoring system for a single person household according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The single person monitoring system 1 for a single person household includes an elderly person living alone, a disabled person living alone, and the like. The communication device 5 connected to the human sensor 4 that senses the entry and exit of the single person 2 of the single person household in the single person household who needs to watch the health condition, etc., and the single person 2 This is a system in which a server 8 communicates with a watcher terminal 7 operated by a watcher 6 who wants to check the communication via a communication network 9.

The watcher 6 is a family member, a relative, an acquaintance, a medical person, a public organization person, a relief company, etc. of the single person 2 watching over the single person 2 at a place away from the residence 10 of the single person 2, One or more people are assumed.
The watcher 6 can also watch in a room or place away from the single person 2.
The watcher terminal 7 is a personal computer 11 or a portable terminal 12 that receives mail, and may be a single machine or a plurality of machines. The portable terminal 12 is a mobile phone that transmits and receives telephone voices via a public line. It may be a telephone.

The human sensor 4 senses a person, for example, an infrared sensor, and is installed on the ceiling, wall, etc. of the toilet 3 to detect the entry and exit of the single person 2 into the toilet 3 and to enter the entrance signal when entering the room. When leaving the room, a leaving signal is transmitted.
The human sensor 4 is not limited to an infrared sensor, and may be another human sensor, for example, a weight sensor that detects the entry and exit of the single person 2 into the toilet 3. There may be. In this case, for example, the weight sensor is placed on the floor of the toilet 3 and transmits an entry signal when the weight of the single person 2 is sensed, and transmits an exit signal when the weight of the single person 2 is no longer sensed. .
Here, a case where an infrared sensor is used as the human sensor 4 will be described.
The communication device 5 transmits an entry signal and an exit signal transmitted from the human sensor 4 to the server 8 via the communication network 9.

In addition, when a person other than the single person 2 uses the toilet, it is detected by the human sensor 4, and the description in that case will be described later.
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 13 denotes a mobile terminal 12 or a base station for connecting the communication device 5 and the public line of the communication network 9.
The communication device 5 may be connected to the server 8 through a fixed telephone line instead of wireless communication.

  FIG. 2 shows the state of detection of the human sensor 4 when the single person 2 uses the toilet 3 several times during a certain period of time, and when the single person 2 enters the toilet 3 The time of entering, i.e., the entry time t1, t2, t3, etc. for each time from when the entrance sensor is detected by the presence sensor 4 to when the exit signal is transmitted after the exit signal is detected. 2 is the time when the user leaves the toilet 3, that is, the time from when the exit signal is transmitted by the presence sensor 4 to when the exit signal is transmitted by the entrance sensor, is exited for each hour. It is indicated by time T1, T2,. The present invention monitors whether any of the entry times t1, t2, t3... And the exit times T1, T2.

Thus, the flow of processing of the single person monitoring system 1 of a single person household will be described next.
In FIG. 1, when the single person 2 enters the toilet 3, the human sensor 4 detects the single person 2 entering the room and transmits an entry signal to the communication device 5. When the single person 2 comes out of the toilet 3, the human sensor 4 detects the single person 2 leaving the room and transmits a leaving signal to the communication device 5.
The communication device 5 transmits the received entry signal or exit signal to the server 8.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of processing of the server 8.
When the server 8 receives an entry signal from the communication device 5 into the toilet 3 (step S1), the server 8 starts measuring the entry time (step S2).
Then, after starting the measurement of the entry time, if a predetermined set entry time (for example, 3 hours) is exceeded without receiving an exit signal (step S3) (step S4), the watcher terminal 7 is connected to the toilet 3 In-toilet abnormality alarm information is transmitted to notify that there is a possibility that an abnormality has occurred in the room (step S5).
At this time, if the watcher terminal 7 is the personal computer 11 that receives the mail or the mobile terminal 12 that receives the mail, the mail including the alarm information in the toilet is sent to the personal computer 11 through the Internet of the communication network 9. Or it transmits to the portable terminal 12.
When the mobile terminal 12 is a mobile phone registered or set to receive voice, the toilet abnormal alarm information is transmitted to the mobile terminal 12 by voice through the public line of the communication network 9.

After starting the entry time measurement, when the exit signal is received (step S3) without exceeding the set entry time (step S4), the exit time measurement is started (step S6) and the exit time measurement is started. Then, without receiving an entry signal (step S7), if a predetermined set leaving time (for example, 12 hours) is exceeded (step S8), the outside of the toilet notifying that an abnormality may have occurred outside the toilet The abnormal alarm information is watched and transmitted to the person terminal 7 (step S9).
At this time, similarly to the above, when the watcher terminal 7 is the personal computer 11 that receives the mail or the mobile terminal 12 that receives the mail, the alarm information outside the toilet is included through the Internet of the communication network 9. The mail is transmitted to the personal computer 11 or the mobile terminal 12.
If the watcher terminal 7 is a mobile phone registered or set to receive voice, the mobile terminal uses voice information to alert that there may be an abnormality outside the toilet through the public line of the communication network 9 12 to send.
After the alarm information is transmitted, if the server 8 is not stopped by external input from the watcher terminal 7 or the input device (step S10), the process returns to step S1 and the same process as described above is repeated.

  When the watcher 6 receives the abnormal alarm information in the toilet or the abnormal alarm information outside the toilet from the watcher terminal 7, as shown in FIG. 1, the watcher 6 goes directly to the rescue of the single person 2 or performs the rescue. The fact that a nearby family, neighbor, relative, acquaintance, life supporter, medical professional, public organization official, rescue operator, etc., who can do so has received the alarm information in the toilet or outside the toilet I will contact you and rescue the single person 2.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the safe information transmission process of the server 8 informing that the single person 2 is safe in the single person watching system 1 of the single person household.
This process is performed in the server 8 as a separate process in parallel with the process of the single person monitoring system of the single person household shown in FIG.
The server 8 receives at least one of the entrance signal and the exit signal from the communication device 5 within a predetermined period (for example, one day, one week, or one month) (step S21). ) In addition, when the abnormal alarm information in the toilet or the abnormal alarm information outside the toilet is not transmitted to the watcher terminal 7 (step S22), after a certain period of time (step S23), the watcher terminal 7 is a single person. Safe information is sent to inform that 2 is safe for a certain period (step S24). If the single person 2 is safe by continuously repeating this process after transmitting the safe information, the watcher 6 can periodically receive the safe information.
In addition, when in-toilet abnormality alarm information or out-of-toilet abnormality alarm information is transmitted to the watcher terminal 7 within the certain period (step S22), the processing is reset (at least the measurement for the certain period is stopped and reset). ) (Step S25), the process is restarted from step S21. When not resetting, for example, the process ends after a predetermined time.

5 and 6, the server 8 receives a start signal or an end signal from the watcher terminal 7 (steps S31 and S41), and starts or ends the process of the single person watch system of the single person household of FIG. Shows the processing to be performed.
In this way, it is possible to control the start and end of the server 8 by the watcher terminal 7.

FIG. 7 shows a process for registering a set value in the server 8 from the watcher terminal 7 or by an input device (not shown) of the server 8.
When the server 8 receives the setting value from the input device of the server 8 or the watcher terminal 7 (step S51), the server 8 registers the setting value in a database of a storage device (not shown) provided in the server 8 (step S52). .
In addition, when registering a setting value from the watcher terminal 7, a configuration screen such as a web page may be transmitted from the server 8 to the watcher terminal 7.

In addition, in the single person monitoring system 1 of the single person household according to the first embodiment of the present invention, for example, when a person other than the single person 2 such as a temporary living person or a temporary visitor uses the toilet 3. Is also detected by the human sensor 4, and this case will be described.
Basically, when a person other than the single person 2 uses the same toilet 3 as the single person 2, it is desirable to stop the processing of the single person watching system 1 of the single person household.
However, when the processing of the single person monitoring system 1 of the single person household is not stopped, the single person monitoring system 1 of the single person household operates as follows.
In the case where a single person 2 and a person other than the single person 2 use the same toilet 3, and the single person 2 and the person other than the single person 2 are both healthy and do not cause any abnormality, the information is transmitted safely. .

When an abnormality occurs in the toilet 3 in either the single person 2 or a person other than the single person 2, an abnormal alarm in the toilet is transmitted.
When an abnormality occurs outside the toilet 3 in either the single person 2 or a person other than the single person 2, if the other uses the toilet 3, there is a possibility that the alarm outside the toilet will not be transmitted.
However, in this case, there is a high possibility that a person who has no abnormality is nearby and can find a person who has an abnormality. It seems that you can help or seek other help.
When an abnormality occurs outside the toilet 3 for both the single person 2 and a person other than the single person 2, an out-of-toilet abnormality alarm is transmitted.

In addition, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, the single person monitoring system 1 of the single person household of this invention can also add the following functions.
For example, the server 8 adds a function of accumulating the entry signal and the exit signal transmitted from the communication device 5 in a database and enabling the information to be viewed on the watcher terminal 7 on a web page, for example.
Thereby, the watcher 6 can grasp the detailed information of the single person 2 and can watch more precisely.
For example, if there are regular entrances and exits to the toilet 3 every day, and the entrance and exit times are also regular, it can be assumed that the patient is in good health, and the entrance time is within the set time. If the leaving time is shorter, longer or irregular than usual, it can be assumed that the person may not be in good health.
In the single person monitoring system 1 of the single person household, a fixed telephone line or a fixed telephone line and the Internet may be used as the communication network 9 of the communication device 5. In addition, the watcher terminal 7 may be provided with a fixed telephone for transmitting and receiving telephone voice via a public line instead of the mobile terminal 12 or in addition to the mobile terminal 12.

In the single person monitoring system 1 of the single person household of the first embodiment described above, the server 8 performs the main information processing (the process shown in FIG. 3) in the single person monitoring system 1 of the single person household. However, instead of this, it is also possible to perform main information processing in the system other than the server as in the second and third embodiments described later.
