  Recent social problems include the aging of society and the progress of nuclear families. Elderly people who are at an increased risk of illness and need more care are living alone or with a couple, and are isolated. For example, when an elderly person living alone falls in a situation where no one is around or loses consciousness, it may take time for the surrounding person to notice it, which may be dangerous.

  Therefore, in the past, a technique for attaching a biological information measuring device for measuring biological information to the measurement subject and monitoring the health condition and behavior pattern of the measured subject based on the biological information acquired from the biological information measurement device. Several have been proposed.

  For example, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-93304) proposes a biological information measurement device, a biological information measurement system, and a warning notification method that can notify a user that there is a high possibility that an abnormality will occur. The biological information measuring apparatus proposed in this document includes a biological information detection unit that detects biological information of a user, a body movement information detection unit that detects body movement information of the user, the biological information, and the body A momentum calculation unit that calculates the amount of exercise of the user based on movement information; a limit value setting unit that sets a limit value of the amount of exercise according to the user; the calculated amount of exercise; and the set limit A warning determination unit that determines the possibility of occurrence of an abnormality in the user based on the value, and a warning when the possibility of the occurrence of the abnormality is increased by the notification determination unit A notification unit is provided.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-93304 JP 2006-285642 A JP 2002-159454 A

  As described above, several techniques have been proposed in the past for obtaining biological information of a person to be monitored (a person to be measured) by a biological information measuring device and monitoring the abnormality in order to detect the abnormality. However, in the conventionally proposed biological information measuring device, when an abnormality is detected based on the biological information, as an operation thereof, a warning is issued to the user or a pre-registered supervisor is notified. I was only doing. For this reason, even if a warning is issued to the user, there is no way if the user is unconscious in the first place. In the case where it exists, there is an inconvenience that a quick response cannot be made.

  Therefore, the present invention provides an emergency contact device that selects an optimal notification destination and notifies an emergency state when an abnormality is detected from the acquired biological information, and an emergency contact system using the emergency contact device.

  Furthermore, as also shown in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, when detecting an abnormality from biological information, the alarm transmitting means is a multi-stage alarm information according to the degree of emergency of the abnormality determined by the abnormality determining means. It has been proposed to change the number of transmission destinations and the transmission destination according to the technology for transmitting the message and the urgency of the alarm. However, the alarm information is transmitted to the contact information registered in advance, and the alarm information cannot be transmitted by searching for an unregistered contact information.

  Therefore, the present invention notifies emergency information or the like to a pre-registered contact according to the degree of risk determined from the biological information, or searches for a contact that can be handled urgently and notifies the emergency information or the like.

“First Embodiment”
FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of an emergency contact system 1 according to the first embodiment. The emergency contact system 1 according to this embodiment includes an emergency contact device 10 configured using a computer, a transmission device 20 used by a person to be measured, and a reception device 30 used by a receiver. These are connected by an information communication network such as the Internet. The hardware configurations of the transmission device 20, the emergency communication device 10, and the reception device 30 that constitute the emergency contact system 1 are shown in FIG.

≪Transmitter 20≫
The transmission device 20 acquires biological information of the measurement subject and transmits it to the emergency contact device 10 via an information communication network such as the Internet. The transmission device 20 measures biological information such as the pulse (heartbeat), body temperature, blood pressure, activity amount, etc. of the measurement subject and communicates with an information communication network such as the Internet in order to transmit the biological information. In addition to using the biological information measuring device (20a) having a function, a portable information terminal 20b having a communication function connectable to an information communication network such as the Internet, and wireless such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) for the portable information It can be configured by a biological information measuring device (20a) that passes biological information measured by short-range communication means such as communication or wired communication such as USB. Further, when the wearable terminal 20a has the function of the portable information terminal 20b, such as being connectable to an information communication network such as the Internet, the wearable terminal 20a can be configured. In the emergency contact system 1 according to the present embodiment, as the biological information measuring device (20a), the wearable terminal 20a that is worn in contact with the body of the measurement subject and measures biological information is used. The biological information measured by the terminal 20a is configured to be passed to the portable information terminal 20b such as a smartphone by short-range wireless communication. The portable information terminal 20b transmits the acquired biological information to the emergency contact device 10 via an information communication network such as the Internet.

  The data communication of the biological information between the wearable terminal 20a and the portable information terminal 20b is configured to be periodically transmitted from the wearable terminal 20a to the portable information terminal 20b, and the application being executed on the portable information terminal 20b Thus, the biometric information stored in the wearable terminal 20a can be periodically read out. In addition, when data communication between the two is not performed regularly, it is desirable to issue a warning or alarm indicating that a communication failure has occurred in the wearable terminal 20a and / or the portable information terminal 20b.

  The wearable terminal 20a can be used regardless of the type as long as it is worn in contact with the body of the measurement subject and can measure the wearer's biological information. Therefore, it is possible to use various wearable terminals 20a such as a wearable terminal 20a worn on the wrist like a wristwatch, a wearable terminal 20a worn on the ear like glasses, or a wearable terminal 20a worn on the neck like a necklace. it can. In addition, the biological information acquired by the wearable terminal 20a includes various biological information such as the pulse (heartbeat), body temperature, blood pressure, and the like of the person to be measured. included. The wearable terminal 20a can also predict and calculate sleep time from the values of the measured subject's pulse (heart rate), body temperature, blood pressure, activity amount, and time, and the predicted value Can also be included in the biometric information. In other words, the biological information in the present invention may be various information for determining the health condition or dangerous condition of the measurement subject.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the transmission device 20 is configured by cooperation between the wearable terminal 20a and the portable information terminal 20b. The wearable terminal 20a requires a battery for measuring biometric information and transmitting the measured biometric information, and the battery will run out as a matter of course if the usage time is extended. Therefore, in order to reduce such a problem of running out of battery, it is desirable that the portable information terminal 20b monitors the battery state of the wearable terminal 20a. Specifically, when the remaining battery level of the wearable terminal 20a is low, a display or sound for alerting the user can be generated. In order to reduce the problem of running out of the battery, it is also desirable to install a plurality of wearable terminals 20a. At that time, if the wearable terminal 20a and the portable information terminal 20b are connected by Bluetooth (registered trademark), it is necessary that all the wearable terminals 20a and the portable information terminal 20b be paired, and It is desirable that when one of the wearable terminals 20a and the portable information terminal 20b is disconnected, the other wearable terminal 20a is immediately connected to the portable information terminal 20b.

It can be transmitted to the emergency contact device 10. Further, in many cases, the GPS function of the transmission device 20 can use the GPS function of the portable information terminal 20b such as a smartphone. It is also possible to use the position information.

  When the transmitting device 20 transmits the biometric information and the position information to the emergency contact device 10, it is desirable to transmit the biometric information and the position information with a unique code for identifying itself. Although such a unique code can be set individually, it is desirable to use an identification symbol (unique ID) previously assigned to the data communication terminal. For example, in the case of the portable information terminal 20b, the device ID assigned to each portable information terminal 20b can be used. When the transmitting device 20 has a telephone function, the telephone number can be used as a unique code. The unique code transmitted from each transmitting device can be used as it is as a user ID in the emergency contact device 10 described later.

As such a unique code, the device ID assigned to the portable information terminal 20b in the transmission device 20 can be used. This unique code is used as a user ID in the emergency contact device 10 and is used to specify the acquired biological information and position information. In particular, the information acquisition unit 10a in the present embodiment is configured to acquire the position information acquired by the GPS 28b in the portable information terminal 20b, but was used for communication of the transmission device 20 (particularly the portable information terminal 20b). It is also possible to acquire communication base station position information and use it as position information of the person being measured.

  Further, the information acquisition unit 10a can be configured to acquire not only the position information of the transmitting device but also the position information of the receiving device 30 described later. The location information of the receiving device 30 can be configured such that the receiving device 30 side transmits the location information to the emergency contact device 10 at regular intervals, in addition to performing processing for requesting transmission of location information at regular intervals. . Since the position information of the receiving device 30 is used to specify the receiving device 30 existing in the selected region, the receiving device 30 can be specified when the receiving device 30 can be specified by another method. It can be configured not to require 30 location information. For example, the emergency communication device 10 designates a specific communication base station, specifies the reception device 30 that receives radio waves from the communication base station, and transmits the biological information and / or Or it is a case where it is comprised so that emergency information may be transmitted. In this case, the emergency contact device 10 can transmit biological information and / or emergency information to the receiving device 30 in a specific area without recognizing the position information of each receiving device 30. .

  The threshold value storage unit 10b can define a value or range that can be determined to be normal or a value or range that can be determined to be urgent as the determination reference value or reference range in the biological information acquired by the information acquisition unit 10a. In other words, the judgment reference value or reference range is defined as an allowable value or tolerance range that allows the subject to be judged to be in a normal state, and if it falls outside this range, it is judged as an emergency condition. The range can be defined as a risk value or a risk range that can be determined as an emergency state by the measurement subject, and a case where the acquired biological information is included in this range can be determined as an emergency state.

  Such a determination reference value or reference range can be defined for each piece of biological information acquired by the information acquisition unit 10a. Therefore, when the wearable terminal 20a measures the measurement subject's pulse (heart rate), body temperature, blood pressure, activity amount, time, sleep time, etc., a judgment reference value or a reference range is set for each of these. Can do. The determination reference value or reference range can be specified as an average value from physical information such as the gender, age, height, and weight of the person to be measured, and can be specified as the determination reference value or reference range. Moreover, it can calculate based on the past numerical value in each to-be-measured person. Specifically, an average value of values excluding extremely large values or low values in the past numerical values can be used as the determination reference value or the reference range. Therefore, in the threshold season part, the judgment reference value or reference range of various biological information can be individually defined for each person to be measured.

  The determination reference value or reference range is defined by one value or range for each biological information such as the pulse (heartbeat), body temperature, blood pressure, activity amount of the person to be measured, time, sleep time, etc. The biometric information can be defined by a plurality of values or ranges such as mild, moderate, severe, and emergency. When the determination reference value or the reference range is defined for each biological information in a plurality of stages, the biological information and / or emergency information is transmitted according to each stage such as mild, medium, severe, and emergency. It is possible to make the receiving device 30 to be different. When the health condition of the person being measured is imminent, such as severe or urgent, biometric information and / or urgent information is transmitted to the receiving device 30 that is different from the mild or moderate condition. Can be configured. In this case, the transmission destination selecting means 10d described later can be configured to select the receiving device 30 that transmits the biological information and / or the emergency information according to the determination reference value or the stage of the reference range.

  The biological information monitoring unit 10c monitors whether or not the biological information acquired by the information acquisition unit 10a is normal based on the determination reference value or reference range of the threshold storage unit 10b. Specifically, it is monitored whether or not the biological information acquired by the information acquisition unit 10a is within the judgment reference value or reference range defined in the threshold storage unit 10b, that is, whether or not the measurement subject is in a dangerous state. The biological information monitoring unit 10c is configured to measure the determination reference value or reference range when the threshold storage unit 10b holds the determination reference value or reference range of the biological information for each person to be measured. It can be read out for each person and compared with the biological information of the measurement subject acquired by the information acquisition unit 10a. Reading the determination reference value or reference range for each person to be measured reads a unique code from the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 10a, and determines the determination reference value or reference range of the biological information associated with the unique code. This can be done by reading. As a matter of course, monitoring in the biological information monitoring means 10c can be performed for each of the measurement subject's pulse (heartbeat), body temperature, blood pressure, activity amount, time, sleep time, etc. It is also possible to monitor whether or not any combination deviates from the judgment reference value or the reference range.

  The monitoring in the biological information monitoring unit 10c is performed based on the determination reference value or the reference range held in the threshold value storage unit 10b. Such a reference value or reference range can be defined as an urgent emergency value or an emergency range, in addition to being defined as an allowable value or an allowable range that does not require an emergency. In particular, when a numerical value as a reference value is held in the threshold storage unit 10b, the biological information monitoring unit 10c is measured by ranking according to a difference or a ratio between the acquired biological information and the reference value. Can be monitored. At that time, the difference or ratio between the acquired biological information and the reference value can be used as rank information (emergency information). When the numerical value range as the reference range is held in the threshold storage unit 10b, the biological information monitoring unit 10c can monitor whether the acquired biological information is within the reference range. In particular, when the reference range is defined in a plurality of stages, it is possible to monitor which stage is included in or out of the reference range. At that time, a reference range at a stage where the acquired biological information is included or deviated can be used as rank information (risk level information).

  In the monitoring by the biological information monitoring unit 10c, the transmission destination selection unit 10d has determined that the acquired biological information is urgent based on an emergency state determination reference value or a reference range defined in the threshold storage unit 10b. Sometimes, the receiving device 30 that transmits the biological information and / or the emergency information is selected based on the measurement subject position information. The selection of the receiving device 30 based on the measurement subject position information is performed in a predetermined range (from the reception device 30 close to the location specified by the measurement subject position information or the location specified by the measurement subject position information ( In addition to selecting the receiving device 30 existing in the area), the communication base station supplying the communication radio wave is specified for the area where the location specified by the measurement subject position information exists, and the radio base station Can be identified. In this case, the transmission destination selection unit 10d can indirectly identify the receiving device 30 via the location of the communication base station.

  The selection of the receiving device 30 can be performed when it is determined in the monitoring result (contrast result) in the biological information monitoring means 10c that the acquired biological information is urgent based on the determination reference value or the reference range. That is, when the biological information acquired from any of the measured persons is determined to be an emergency state as a result of determination based on the disconnection reference value or the reference range, the biological information is determined based on the position information of the measured person. The receiving device 30 that transmits information and / or emergency information can be selected. As a result, when it is detected that the biological information in the measured person is abnormal, the receiver 30 that is most suitable for rescue, such as the receiver 30 existing in the vicinity thereof, is searched in real time, Thus, the emergency contact device 10 that can notify information (emergency information) that the biological information of the measurement subject is abnormal is realized.

  The selection of the receiving device 30 in the transmission destination selecting means 10d can be performed with reference to the rank information. That is, when the biological information monitoring means 10c outputs rank information when monitoring the acquired biological information, the receiving device 30 to be selected can be made different depending on the rank information. Specifically, in the monitoring result of biological information, when rank information indicating that the degree of urgency is low is output, the biological information and only the reception device 30 associated with the measurement subject In the monitoring result, when rank information indicating that the degree of urgency is high is output, based on the measurement subject position information acquired by the information acquisition unit 10a. The receiving device 30 existing in the vicinity thereof can be extracted and the biological information and / or the emergency information can be transmitted to the receiving device 30 as well.

  The emergency information transmitting unit 10e transmits biological information and / or emergency information to the receiving device 30 selected by the transmission destination selecting unit 10d. The transmission destination of the emergency information transmission unit 10e may be the reception device 30 via a specific communication base station, in addition to being directly connected to each reception device 30. That is, the emergency information transmitting unit 10e transmits the biological information and / or emergency information for each receiving device 30, and simultaneously transmits the biological information and / or the siblings associated with the position or the preset condition. Or emergency information can be sent.

  Further, the emergency information transmission unit 10e, after transmitting the biological information and / or emergency information, to perform a delivery confirmation process to monitor whether or not the information is transmitted to any or all receivers, Furthermore, a read management process for monitoring whether or not the information has been read can be executed. That is, in the emergency contact system 1 according to the present embodiment, the biological information of the person to be measured is transmitted from the transmission device 20 to the emergency contact device 10 via the network, and communication failure of the network is also considered. Further, even if biological information and / or emergency information is transmitted to the receiving device 30, it is meaningless if the information is not transmitted to the owner of the receiver. Therefore, if such communication failure or transmitted information is not read, automatic voice is sent to the subject using the telephone line (especially preferably a fixed telephone line), and the situation of the subject is measured. Can be notified. In addition, a ringing tone or an alarm sound in the receiving device 30 can be sounded. Further, in the monitoring result by the biological information monitoring means 10c, it stays at the same position even if a predetermined time such as 1 minute or 3 minutes elapses after it is determined that it is urgent from the biological information of the person to be measured, and it cannot be confirmed that it has moved. In some cases, a social network or the like can be used to publish the rescue request information (name, location information, status, etc. of the subject) of the subject. The movement status of the measurement subject can be determined from the measurement subject position information. In addition, the rescue request information of the measured person in the social network is specified from the position indicated by the measured person position information based on the registration information of the user in the social network and the access point information of the terminal used by the user. Can be made public to users within the distance range. Publication of the rescue request information of the measurement subject can be performed at a predetermined interval, and can be repeated unless the rescuer performs a stop operation from the transmission device 20 of the measurement subject.

  The emergency information transmitting unit 10e transmits biological information and / or emergency information to the receiving device 30 selected by the transmission destination selecting unit 10d, and these are data formats such as text, images, and moving images. In addition, automatic voice or voice format by an operator may be used. The biometric information and / or emergency information to be transmitted can also include measurement subject position information. By including the measurement subject position information, the transmitting device 20 can display the position of the subject and the measurement subject on the map by connecting to the map information server connected to the network, or can measure the measurement subject from the self. The travel route to the person can be displayed.

  Further, the emergency contact device 10 according to the present embodiment further measures, for each person to be measured, a user information storage unit that holds information about the person to be measured and biological information acquired by the information acquisition unit 10a. A biometric information storage unit held for each person and / or an access monitoring unit that monitors and restricts access to the biometric information storage unit can be provided. These configurations will be described in detail in the description of the operation of the emergency contact system 1 described later.

≪Hardware configuration≫
The emergency contact device 10 composed of the above components can be formed with a hardware configuration as shown in FIG. That is, the emergency contact device 10 according to this embodiment can be configured using a computer, and includes a CPU 11, a RAM 12, a storage unit 13, an input unit 14, a display unit 15, and a communication unit 16. be able to. The operation of each of these components is the same as that of the portable information terminal 20b, but the storage unit includes a program for executing processing of the emergency contact device 10, a user database 13a as the user information storage unit, a threshold value A threshold database 13b as a storage unit 10b and a biological information / measured person position information database 13c as a biological information storage unit are provided. In the emergency contact device 10, the application program and database program stored in the storage unit 13, data used during the execution of these programs are read into the RAM 12, and information processing is performed by the CPU 11, whereby each of the above processes Can be executed. Further, in the emergency contact device 10 constituted by a computer, the input unit 14 or the communication unit 16 can function as the information acquisition unit 10a, and the threshold value database 13b provided in the storage unit is a threshold value storage. The biological information monitoring unit 10c can be configured by a program executed by the CPU 11, and the communication unit 16 can function as the transmission destination selection unit 10d. Of these components, those that are functionally similar to the components of the portable information terminal 20b are added with the reference numerals of the portable information terminals in the drawings, and the description thereof is omitted.

Note that the emergency contact device 10 is not necessarily configured by one computer, and the arithmetic processing of the CPU 11 can be distributed. In order to enhance security, a computer including the information acquisition unit 10a and the emergency information transmission unit 10e connected to the Internet is separated from a computer including the threshold storage unit 10b, the biological information monitoring unit 10c, and the transmission destination selection unit 10d. Can do. Furthermore, when the emergency contact device 10 includes a biological information storage unit (biological information / measured person position information database 13c), the biological information storage unit and an access monitoring unit 10f for monitoring access to the biological information storage unit are further provided. It can also be constructed on a separate computer.

≪Receiver 30≫
In the processing of the emergency contact device 10, when the biological information of the measurement subject is determined to be urgent based on the determination reference value or the reference range according to the result of the biological information monitoring unit 10c, the transmission destination selection unit 10d With respect to the selected receiving device 30, the emergency information transmitting unit 10e transmits biometric information and / or emergency information indicating that the subject is in an urgent state to the receiving device 30, and the receiving device 30 30 receives this.

  The biological information and / or emergency information received by the receiving device 30 may be in a voice format in addition to the data format such as text, image, and moving image as described above. Therefore, the receiving device 30 may be an information processing device such as a portable information terminal (such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal) or a computer capable of data communication, or a communication device such as a fixed telephone or a facsimile.

  The receiving device 30 is a terminal or device on the receiver side that receives biological information and / or emergency information that informs the emergency state. Such recipients include persons and facilities that monitor the health and emergency conditions of the subject, persons and facilities that provide relief in the event of the subject's emergency, and subjects other than the subject who have notified the emergency state It may be. In other words, the transmitting device 20 is used to transmit the biological information and position information of the measurement subject, but the receiving device 30 is used to receive biological information and / or emergency information related to other measurement subjects.

  In addition to the transmission device 20, the reception device 30 includes a device and a terminal for receiving biological information and / or emergency information exclusively. For example, a device or terminal possessed by a receiver who monitors, cares, or manages a specific person to be measured. The receiving device 30 possessed by the receiver can be registered in the emergency contact device 10 in association with the person to be measured. Therefore, as a recipient according to the present embodiment, one or more designated recipients registered in association with a specific subject and an area recipient selected based on the subject location information And can be broadly divided. The designated receiving device 30a possessed by the designated recipient is registered in association with each measured person in the user information storage unit (user database 13a). Further, the area receiving device 30b possessed by the area receiver does not need to be associated with any person to be measured, but the area receiving device position information indicating the current position information is grasped in the emergency communication device 10. Need to be. It is also desirable for the emergency contact device 10 to know the current position of the designated receiving device 30a. By acquiring the location information of each of these receiving devices 30 by the emergency contact device 10, management in the operation of the emergency contact device 10 can be performed accurately and appropriately, and the receiver is measured. Map information and route information can be provided.

The receiving device 30 can be constructed with the same hardware configuration as the transmitting device 20. However, the receiving device 30 (designated receiving device 30a or the like) exclusively for acquiring the measurement subject's biological information and / or emergency information, as shown in FIG. 2, includes the configuration of the wearable terminal 20a, the short-range communication unit, etc. May be omitted. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the receiving device 30 including a mobile information terminal such as a smartphone includes a CPU 31, a RAM 32, a storage unit 33, an input unit 34, a display unit 35, a communication unit 36, and a GPS 38. The storage unit 33 holds a program executed by the CPU 31 and a position information database acquired by GPS. Since these components are functionally similar to the components of the receiving device 20, in the drawings, 20 is added to the reference numeral of the receiving device, and the description thereof is omitted.

≪Emergency communication system 1 processing flow: basic processing≫
Next, specific processing of the emergency contact system 1 according to the above embodiment will be described with reference to a sequence diagram showing a processing flow of the entire system shown in FIG. In executing this process, the portable information terminal 20b acquires the biological information of the measured person from the wearable terminal 20a in the measured person who is the user of the system (biological information magazine acquisition step 31). However, when the biological information measuring device (20a) such as the wearable terminal 20a is connectable to an information communication network such as the Internet, the biological information measuring device (20a) acquires biological information from the measurement subject. You can also.

  Then, the transmitting device 20 used by the subject adds his / her position information to the acquired biometric information, and transmits it to the emergency contact device 10 through an information communication network such as the Internet (biometric information / position information transmission). Step S32). The emergency contact device 10 acquires the biological information / measured person position information sent from the transmitting device 20 (biological information / measured person position information acquisition step S33), and stores the biological information / measured person information provided in the storage means. Record in the measurer position information database 13c (biological information recording step S34). As shown in FIG. 4, the biometric information / measured person position information database 13c uses the device ID of the transmitting apparatus 20 that transmits the biometric information of the measured person as a user ID and associates it with the user ID from the transmitting apparatus 20. The acquired position information is registered with the measured person position information and the acquired biological information. This biological information / measured person position information database 13c can also store information on the date and time when each biological information is acquired. Each time biometric information / position information is acquired from each transmitter 20, biometric information and position information for each person to be measured is accumulated in the database. In the present embodiment, an example is shown in which one database is constructed for the entire measurement subject who is a user, but this can also be constructed as a database for each measurement subject.

  The emergency contact device 10 also acquires the position information of the receiving device 30 that is also the other transmitting device 20. This means that each receiving device 30 also transmits its own location information to the emergency contact device 10 (location information transmission step S35), and the emergency contact device 10 that has received this information receives the location information of the receiving device 30 as the location of the receiving device. This can be realized by acquiring as information (receiver position information acquisition step S36). Since the transmitting device 20 that transmits the measurement subject's biological signal or the like can be used as it is as the receiving device 30, in the biological information / measured subject position information database 13c according to the present embodiment, both are similarly used. It is recorded. However, the receiving device 30 for receiving the measurement subject's biological signal and the like without transmitting the biological signal, as shown in FIG. 4, the user ID is “X0208” or “X00039”. It is configured to send only information.

  Then, in the emergency contact device 10, in the threshold value reading step 37, the judgment reference value or reference range regarding the acquired biological information is read. However, the threshold value reading step 37 and the subsequent abnormality monitoring step S38 are configured to perform the acquired biological information of the measured person as they are (without recording them in the biological information / measured person position information database 13c). Also good. In the threshold value reading step 37, reading of the judgment reference value or reference range is recorded in the biological information / measured person position information database 13c (or acquired by the information acquisition unit 10a), for the biological information / measured person position information, Using the user ID (device ID) as a clue, the determination can be made by reading the determination reference value or reference range of the measurement subject recorded in the threshold value database 13b as the threshold value storage means.

  This threshold value database 13b holds the biological information of each person to be measured in association with the user ID. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, an allowable value is defined as a determination reference value for each item (pulse, body temperature, blood pressure, etc.) of biological information. However, the threshold value database 13b can also define a numerical range as a criterion for determination rather than a specific value, and the numerical range can also be defined as an allowable range or a dangerous range. In the threshold database 13b, a value that does not determine an emergency state is set for a user (recipient) exclusively for monitoring the measurement subject regardless of the presence or absence of biological information. In the present embodiment, since an allowable value is defined as the determination reference value, the value “∞” is assigned so as to allow all values.

  As described above, the abnormality monitoring step S38 is executed after the acquired biological information and the determination reference value or reference range related thereto are read. In this abnormality monitoring step S38, it is determined whether the acquired biological information is a normal value or an abnormal value in comparison with the determination reference value or the reference range. This determination can be made based on the difference or ratio from the determination reference value, or whether or not it is included in the determination reference range. In the present embodiment, since an allowable value is set as the determination reference value, if the difference from the allowable value is large or the ratio to the allowable value deviates from 1, the biological information is It can be determined to be abnormal.

  In the abnormality monitoring step S38, if no abnormality is found in the acquired biological information, the process returns to the biological information / measured person position information acquisition step S33, and loops this to obtain an abnormality in the acquired biological information. Continue monitoring until it is determined. On the other hand, in the abnormality monitoring step S38, when it is determined that there is an abnormality in the acquired biological information, the receiving device 30 that transmits the biological information and / or emergency information indicating an abnormality in the biological information of the measurement subject. (Recipient) is selected. In this embodiment, the selection of the receiving device 30 is executed as a designated receiving device extraction step S39 and an area receiving device extraction step S42.

  The designated receiving device extraction step S39, in the abnormality monitoring step S38, when it is determined that there is an abnormality in the biological information acquired from the measurement subject, the designated recipient registered in association with the measurement subject ( This is a process for extracting the designated receiving device 30a). The designated recipient can be extracted by searching the user database 13a. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the user database 13a holds a contact address to be a designated recipient in addition to the name, age, gender, and address of the user in association with the user ID. . In this embodiment, since the device ID in the transmission device 20 is used as this user ID, the name and address of the user (measured person or recipient) in association with the device ID (transmission device 20), And the designated contact information ("designated contact 1" and "designated contact 2" in FIG. 6) to be notified when the biometric information acquired from the user becomes abnormal is registered. The designated contact information may be recorded as a telephone number that does not require the user ID as shown in “designated contact 2” in addition to the user ID as shown in the “designated contact 1” column of FIG. it can.

  After extracting the designated receiving device 30a in the designated receiving device extraction step S39, the emergency contact device 10 informs the designated receiving device 30a of the emergency state of the measured person in the emergency information sending step S40. Biometric information and / or emergency information is transmitted. Then, when the designated recipient receives the biological information and / or emergency information (emergency information acquisition step S41), the designated recipient has found that there is an abnormality with respect to the measurement subject to be monitored by himself / herself or in an emergency situation. It is possible to quickly know that there is.

  In the abnormality monitoring step S38, when it is determined that there is an abnormality in the biological information acquired from the measurement subject, the designated receiving device extracting step S39 and the emergency information transmitting step S40 to the designated receiving device 30a are performed. In addition, the area receiving device extraction step S42 can be executed.

  This area reception device extraction step S42 is an area reception that exists within a predetermined range from the subject when the abnormality monitoring step S38 determines that there is an abnormality in the biological information acquired from the subject. This is a process for extracting a person (area receiving device 30b). The extraction of the area receiving device 30b is based on the position information (measured person position information) transmitted by the measured person who is determined to have abnormality in the biological information, and the area receiving apparatus 30b existing near the measured person. To extract. At that time, the area receiving device 30b is the transmitting device 20 other than the transmitting device 20 owned by the measurement subject who is determined to have abnormality in the biometric information, and the receiving device 30 that only monitors the biometric information. . Since the position information of the receiving device 30 is held in the biological information / measured person position information database 13c, the receiving apparatus 30 existing within a predetermined range from the measured person position information It can be extracted by searching the measurement subject position information database 13c. Note that the receiving device 30 to be extracted can be appropriately set according to the population density of the area, such as a radius of 1 km, 3 km, or 10 km, from the position specified from the measurement subject position information.

  After the area receiving device 30b is extracted in the area receiving device extraction step S42, the emergency contact device 10 notifies the area receiving device 30b of the emergency state of the subject in the emergency information transmitting step S43. Biometric information and / or emergency information is transmitted. Then, by receiving the biometric information and / or emergency information (emergency information acquisition step S44), the area receiver that exists in the vicinity of the subject in danger or emergency state can promptly receive the subject's measurement information. Rescue can be done.

In the emergency contact system 1 according to the present embodiment, the emergency contact device 10 transmits information transmitted by the emergency information transmission unit 10e of the emergency contact device 10 depending on the type of the reception device 30 (designated reception device 30a or area reception device 30b). Can be different. That is, as shown in the emergency contact screen of the receiving device 30 in FIG. 7, for the designated receiving device 30a, main part information 41 indicating that the measurement subject monitored by the designated recipient is dangerous or urgent. And information about the subject 42 such as name, age and gender regarding the subject in danger or emergency, and location information 43 indicating the current location of the subject (measurement subject location information) In addition, a “confirm” button 44 for transmitting information indicating that the information has been confirmed to the emergency contact device 10 is displayed. By pressing the “confirm” button 44, answer back information indicating that the designated recipient has confirmed the information can be transmitted to the emergency contact device 10. On the other hand, as information to be transmitted to the area receiving device 30b, the main information 41 indicating that there is a dangerous or urgent subject nearby, and the name, age and gender related to the subject in danger or urgent state. And the location information 43 of the location indicating the current location (measurement location information) of the subject. That is, the answer-back button 44 is not displayed for the area receiving device 30b. However, an answer back button may be displayed on the area receiving device 30b.

≪Emergency contact system 1 processing flow: threshold ranking≫
In relation to the processing flow of the emergency contact system 1 shown in FIG. 3 above, when it is determined that the biological information is abnormal, the biological information of the measurement subject is taken into consideration after adding rank information indicating the degree of the abnormality. Information can also be managed.

  FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram illustrating a processing flow of the emergency contact system 1 when monitoring the biological information of the measurement subject in consideration of the rank information. In the emergency contact system 1 shown in this figure, in the same way as the emergency contact system 1 shown in FIG. 3, the transmitting device 20 acquires the biometric information acquisition step S31 for acquiring the biometric information of the person to be measured. The biometric information / position information transmission step S32 for adding the position information and transmitting it to the emergency contact device 10 is executed. The receiving device 30 executes a location information transmission step S35 for transmitting its own location information to the emergency contact device 10. Then, in the emergency contact device 10, the receiving device position information acquisition step S36 for acquiring the position information transmitted by the receiving device 30, and the biological information / measured subject information for acquiring the biological information / measured subject position information transmitted by the transmitting device 20 The position information acquisition step S33 is executed. Then, the emergency contact device 10 executes a biometric information storage step S34 for storing the acquired biometric information in the biometric information / measured person position information database 13c, and a threshold value (determination reference value or A threshold reading step 37 for reading out the reference range) from the threshold database 13b is executed. Then, an abnormality monitoring step S38 for monitoring the abnormality of the acquired biological information based on the determination reference value or the reference range is executed. If it is determined that there is no abnormality in the biological information acquired in the abnormality monitoring step S38, the process returns to the biological information / measured person position information acquisition step S33. In the present embodiment, when it is determined that there is an abnormality in the abnormality monitoring step S38, a rank information determination step S45 is executed. In this rank information determination step S45, the degree of abnormality of the acquired biological information is determined.
