  The present invention relates to a system for monitoring a care recipient who needs care in daily life such as an elderly person or a supporter who needs support in daily life (hereinafter referred to as a care recipient) and an operation method thereof.

  In recent years, with the progress of aging and nuclear family, the number of elderly living alone who needs care or support in daily life is increasing. Some of these people who need to live alone may move into nursing homes such as nursing homes, but do not move into nursing homes, spend daytime in nursing homes such as day care centers, and at home at night There are many cases of living in Japan. If you are in a day care center during the day, caregivers, nurses, etc. watch over the care recipients, so even if there is a sudden change in the health status of the caregivers, the caregivers, nurses, etc. It can correspond to. However, if you are at home without going to the night care center or day care center, there are no people around you to monitor or watch out for the care recipients, so if the health condition of the care recipient changes suddenly, it will be too late. In some cases. Even if there is a family living together, it is very difficult to always watch for a person who needs assistance, and it is often impossible to cope with sudden changes in health.

  Therefore, by attaching a biological information monitor to a care recipient, etc., detecting biological information such as body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, etc., wirelessly sending the information to a monitoring computer, and storing the data stored in the computer A system has been proposed that detects an abnormal state based on the matching calculation and issues an alarm in that case (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In addition, a method for monitoring the state of a care recipient by accumulating and monitoring images of the care recipient (for example, see Patent Document 2).

Further, the vibration of the diaphragm may be converted into an electric signal by the piezoelectric element, and the piezoelectric element may be driven by the input electric signal to vibrate the diaphragm and output as sound. . In the present embodiment, the oscillating electrical converter 27 is configured to close the through hole 25 of the ear canal insertion portion 16a through the cavity 26, but may be attached to close the through hole 25 directly. The ear canal insertion portion 16a and the main body 16b are made of resin or the like. The through hole 25, the cavity 26, and the oscillating electrical converter 27 constitute the earphone microphone 11 shown in FIG.

  The external ear canal insertion portion 16 a of the mounting unit 16 fits snugly into the external ear canal 31 and suppresses external sound from entering the external ear canal 31. Further, the body 16b of the mounting unit 16 fits into the ear shell of the ear 30 of the watched person 10 to stabilize the position of the mounting unit 16. The oscillating electrical converter 27 that closes the through hole 25 of the ear canal insertion part 16 a through the cavity 26 closes the ear canal 31 together with the ear canal insertion part 16 a that fits tightly in the ear canal 31, and between the eardrum 32. A closed space 37 is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the tympanic membrane 32 is a membrane that exists at the boundary between the inner ear 33 and the outer ear including the outer ear canal 31, and biological sounds such as heartbeat sounds, breathing sounds, and lung sounds are emitted from the inner ear canal 35 that leads to the inner ear 33. It is transmitted to the eardrum as pressure vibration. The body sound transmitted from the inner ear 33 to the eardrum 32 vibrates the eardrum 32. The vibration of the eardrum 32 is transmitted as a change in the pressure of the ear canal 31 from the cavity 26 to the oscillating electrical converter 27 that forms the closed space 37 through the through hole 25 of the ear canal insertion portion 16a and is converted into an electric signal by the earphone microphone 11. Converted. In this way, the oscillating electrical converter 27 detects pressure fluctuations transmitted to the ear canal 31, converts it into an electrical signal, and outputs it.

  The earphone microphone 11 constituted by the through hole 25, the cavity 26, and the oscillating electrical converter 27 is connected to a small signal processing circuit 12. The signal processing circuit 12 removes noise and the like from the electrical signal converted by the earphone microphone 11, and extracts biological information signals such as heartbeat and respiration existing in a specific frequency region from the signal using a filter or the like. This biological information signal is continuous. Then, the signal processing circuit processes the extracted continuous biological information data, and extracts biological numerical information such as a heart rate or a respiratory rate from the processed data. In addition, the signal processing circuit 12 processes the biological information data acquired from the earphone microphone 11, and sends, for example, a biological information signal for transmission such as a heartbeat waveform that is continuous biological information data to the first transmitter / receiver 14. Output. The earphone microphone 11 is directly connected to the first transmitter / receiver 14, and outputs an electrical signal obtained by converting the pressure fluctuation of the ear canal 31 to the first transmitter / receiver 14 as it is.

  The first transmitter / receiver 14 directly receives an electrical signal acquired by the earphone microphone 11, a biological information signal such as a heart rate and a heart rate waveform input from the signal processing circuit 12, a posture of the watched person 10, and a moving direction. The life information signal such as the moving speed and the position information signal of the watched person 10 are digitized and multiplexed as a bit stream, modulated into analog data in the voice band, and output to the wireless voice communication line 21. The analog data in the voice band is amplified by the monitoring repeater 22 and sent to the second transmitter / receiver 61 arranged in the day care center 60 through the wireless voice communication line 23. The second transmitter / receiver 61 demodulates the received analog data of the voice band, the biological information signal such as the heart rate and heartbeat waveform output from the signal processing circuit 12, the posture of the watched person 10, the moving direction, the moving speed, and the like. Life information signal, the position information signal of the watched person 10 and the electric signal detected by the earphone microphone 11 are extracted, and the heart rate, heart rate waveform, posture, movement direction, and movement speed are output to the display of the monitoring device 62. At the same time, the electrical signal detected by the earphone microphone 11 is output as a voice signal from the speaker of the communication device 63. Thus, the watcher 20 in the day care center 60 can make a voice call with the watched person 10 while checking the heart rate, heartbeat waveform, posture, moving direction, moving speed, and position of the watched person 10.

  The first and second transceivers 14 and 61 may be computers including a CPU and DSP that perform information processing inside and a memory that stores programs, drive data, and the like. Further, the signal processing circuit 12 may be an electronic circuit driven by a first transceiver 14 that is a computer. The mounting unit 16 is supplied with driving power from a built-in power source or an external power source (not shown). The monitoring device 62 is a computer that can accumulate biological information, life information, and position information acquired from the watched person 10 and can perform data communication via the server 70 and the Internet communication network 71. When it is determined that the state 10 is abnormal, an alarm can be issued. In addition to the speaker that outputs sound to the watched person 10, the call device 63 includes a microphone that calls the watched person 10.

  An operation method of the watching system 100 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in step S101 of FIG. 3, the mounting unit 16 mounted on the ear of the watched person 10 includes an earphone microphone 11, a biological information sensor 13, a living information sensor 17, and an optical position information ID tag 15 disposed therein. After acquiring biological information signals such as heart rate and heartbeat waveform, life information such as the posture, moving direction and moving speed of the watched person 10 and position information of the watched person 10, and modulating them to analog data in the voice band 3, the information is transmitted from the first transmitter / receiver 14 to the second transmitter / receiver 61 installed in the day care center 60 via the voice communication lines 21 and 23 and the monitoring repeater 22. To do.

  As shown in step S103 of FIG. 3, the second transmitter / receiver 61 demodulates the received voice band analog data, and outputs a biological information signal such as a heart rate and a heart rate waveform output from the signal processing circuit 12, a watched person. Life information signals such as 10 postures, moving directions, and moving speeds are extracted, and each information of the watched person 10 such as heart rate, heartbeat waveform, posture, moving direction, moving speed and the like is output to the display of the monitoring device 62. Various methods can be used for display on the display. For example, the heart rate waveform may be displayed on the display, only the heart rate value may be displayed, or the posture status such as standing, sitting or sleeping may be displayed with a figure or a picture. Alternatively, the moving direction and the position of the watched person 10 in the home 50 may be displayed on the plan view of the home 50.

  As shown in step S <b> 104 of FIG. 3, the watcher 20 of the day care center 60 watches the watched person 10 while monitoring the display of the monitoring device 62. During watching, each information of the watched person 10 is accumulated in the storage device in the monitoring device 62.

  Then, as shown in step S105 in FIG. 3, the monitoring device 62 sets in advance one of each piece of information of the watched person who is watching, for example, the heart rate for the watched person 10. 3 (when the lower limit threshold is exceeded to the minus side), it is determined that the condition of the watched over person 10 has become abnormal, and an alarm is issued as shown in step S106 of FIG. . When the alarm is issued, the watcher 20 of the day care center 60 displays, for example, a heartbeat waveform on the display of the monitoring device 62 and checks whether the heartbeat waveform is abnormal. When it is determined that the heartbeat waveform is also abnormal, the watcher 20 tries to talk to the watched person 10 by the call device 63 as shown in step S107 of FIG. When the watcher 20 speaks to the watched person 10 using the microphone connected to the communication device 63, the voice is transmitted from the second transmitter / receiver 61 through the voice communication lines 21 and 23 and the monitoring repeater 22. And transmitted to the first transmitter / receiver 14 of the wearing unit 16 worn by the watched person 10. The first transmitter / receiver 14 outputs the transmitted audio signal to the earphone microphone 11. Then, the sound output from the earphone microphone 11 vibrates the eardrum 32 of the watched person 10, and the watched person 10 recognizes the sound of the watcher 20 in the day care center 60.

  When the watched person 10 makes a voice to respond to the voice of the watcher 20 of the day care center 60, the voice changes the pressure of the air in the ear canal 31 of the watched person 10, and the pressure fluctuations. Is detected by the earphone microphone 11 and converted into an electric signal. The electric signal is directly input to the first transmitter / receiver 14 without passing through the signal processing circuit 12, digitized together with the signal input from the signal processing circuit 12, multiplexed as a bit stream, and modulated into audio band analog data. Then, the data is transmitted to the second transmitter / receiver 61 provided in the day care center 60 through the wireless voice communication lines 21 and 23 and the monitoring repeater 22. The second transmitter / receiver 61 that has received the analog data demodulates the analog data, extracts the electrical signal detected by the earphone microphone 11, and outputs it as a voice signal from the speaker of the communication device 63. As a result, the watcher 20 in the day care center 60 can make a voice call with the watched person 10. Since the biological information, life information, and position information are transmitted from the mounting unit 16 to the second transmitter / receiver 61 during the voice call, the watcher 20 looks at each information displayed on the display of the monitoring device 62. While facing the guardian 10.

  As shown in step S108 of FIG. 3, when the watcher 20 can perform a voice conversation with the watched person 10 and confirms that the watched person 10 is in a safe state, the watched person 10 is safe. Is input to the monitoring device 62. Then, in the monitoring device 62, data indicating that the watched person 10 is safe is accumulated in the case of the preset heart rate threshold value that has been previously issued. That is, as shown in step S <b> 111 of FIG. 3, the monitoring device 62 learns the relationship between the threshold and the state of the watched person 10.

  On the other hand, if the watcher 20 cannot make a voice call with the watched person 10 and the heart rate and heart rate waveform are abnormal, the watcher 10 determines that the watched person 10 is not in a safe state, and the steps of FIG. As shown in S109, the emergency team 80 shown in FIG. 1 is requested to dispatch. Upon receiving the request, the ambulance team 80 dispatches an ambulance crew or a caregiver 81 to the home 50 of the watched person 10, and transports the watched person 10 to the hospital or performs first aid.

  As shown in step S110 of FIG. 3, the watcher 20 contacts the caregiver 81, confirms the status and processing of the watched person 10, for example, has fallen, and has been transported to the hospital. For example, data indicating that the watched person 10 is not in a safe state, for example, has fallen down and is transported to a hospital is input. Then, in the monitoring device 62, in the case of the preset heart rate threshold value that has been previously issued, there is data that the watched person 10 has fallen and had to be transported to the hospital. Accumulated. That is, as shown in step S <b> 111 of FIG. 3, the monitoring device 62 learns the relationship between the threshold and the state of the watched person 10.

  In this way, each information of the watched person 10 and the situation of the watched person 10 when the alarm is issued are accumulated in the monitoring device 62. Then, as shown in step S112 of FIG. 3, when the monitoring device 62 has learned a predetermined number of times, the monitoring device 62 communicates with the server 70 as shown in step S113 of FIG. The data of the situation of the watched person 10 when the warning is issued is transferred to the server 70.

  The server 70 that has received the data, as shown in step S114 of FIG. 3, together with the data accumulated so far, for example, a threshold currently set in the monitoring device 62 by a method such as statistical processing. Recalculate whether is appropriate. If it is determined that the currently set threshold value needs to be changed, the threshold value is changed as shown in step S115 in FIG. For example, if the currently set heart rate threshold is too high and the watcher 10 is in a normal state and the alarm is issued with a considerable probability, the threshold may be changed. If the threshold value is changed to a smaller value and the threshold value of the currently set heart rate is too low, and an alarm is issued at this threshold value, the watched person 10 is in a state that needs to be transported to the hospital. Therefore, the threshold value is changed to a larger value.

  When changing the threshold value based on the result of recalculation, the server 70 transmits the recalculated threshold value to the monitoring device 62 and updates the threshold value set in the monitoring device 62. As a result, the threshold value can be set according to the state of each watched person 10, so that the accuracy of the alarm notification of the watch system 100 is increased and the reliability is improved.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a second transceiver 61, a monitoring device 62, and a communication device 63 are installed in two day care centers 60, respectively. Each monitoring device 62 of each day care center 60 is connected to the server 70 via the Internet communication network 71. For this reason, for example, even when a watched person 10 comes to another day care center 60, all data, threshold values, etc. of the watched person 10 are accumulated and managed in the server 70. The watcher 20 of another day care center 60 has the same reliability as the watcher 20 of the previous day care center 60 just by sending the monitoring device threshold of the other day care center 60 and necessary data from the server 70. The watched person 10 can be watched over.
