Description

  The present invention provides a life pattern to a person whose physical strength is decreasing (hereinafter referred to as "supporter required") such as an elderly person or a care recipient, and supports the life by maintaining it. It is about

Today, the supporters need to do so-called day services, short stays, etc. in facilities that provide nursing care services (hereinafter referred to as “support facilities”) for the purpose of enhancing physical strength and maintaining relationships with society while living at home. There is a reality that receives a lot of various care services.
In the support facilities, various activities such as meals, bathing, tea ceremony and calligraphy, and exercises such as gymnastics are also provided.
However, among such actual situations, there are not a few days when those services can not be received due to the operation of facilities or financial reasons in the system of welfare policy etc.

Conventionally, at home days when people can not attend the support facilities, most of the support provided by the support facilities is not received, and people who do not have a particular taste, even if they can receive meals with home delivery or temporary helpers. For those who do not have a place to go, or those who are debilitated when their lower extremities have deteriorated, they often lie down and sleep a lot.
If such a situation continues for a long period of time, the physical strength declines, the working range of the limbs narrows, obesity progresses, and the cognitive ability declines, and the possibility of damaging physical and mental health is surely increased.
In particular, the New Year holidays, the Bon holidays, etc., are also triggers for promoting such fears, and adequate care is desired.

As a conventional life support system, based on the behavior of the person who needs to be at home, a voice is generated to support the behavior of the person who needs the support, from a portable item such as a doll, etc. There is provided a life support system which gives such a sense and supports a support person in need to live a safe and fulfilling life (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below).
In addition, a life support system is also provided that aims to provide comprehensive and efficient services by aggregating the information of the life support target person and using the information of the support person easily, and providing services at multiple service institutions. (See, for example, Patent Document 2 below).

The teaching means 6 is for performing processing for teaching the specific behavior or aspect of the activity prompted by the guiding means 5 by means of voice, characters, still pictures or moving pictures.

The history collection means 7 uses, for example, the track record of the activity (participation situation, exercise amount, intake amount, burden, etc.) prompted by the guidance means 5 by the inquiry means 11 or the motion detection means 25 provided in the terminal device. It is collected from the person in various forms such as voice, operation or exercise, linked to each activity included in the schedule information, and recorded in the history storage means 10.
In principle, the inquiry means 11 waits for the required time of the activity prompted by the guidance means 5 and urges provision of the results by voice, characters, still images or moving pictures, and subsequently voices, characters, etc. The operation or operation is collected by a microphone, a camera, a touch panel or a switch, and the performance of the prompted activity is converted into data and recorded in the history storage means 10 (see FIG. 3).
The motion detection unit 25 is, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) or an acceleration sensor.

  The verification means 8 includes an activity adjustment means 12 to compare the actual state of the user collected by the history collection means 7 with the basic information for verification 23 included in the at-home support master and as an attribute of the user The activity supplementing means 13 supplements the activity included in the schedule information when the condition is not satisfied, and the activity suppressing means 14 includes the schedule information when it is excessive in light of the condition to be possessed as the user's attribute Process to reduce the activity.

  The at-home support master storage unit 9 is a storage unit that holds master data that is basic information when performing at-home support operations, and the at-home support master storage unit 9 is a master data itself, a file in which master data is aggregated. Or, hold them as a database that is systematically organized as a table.

  The schedule information is recorded in the schedule storage means 24 of the at-home support master storage means 9, and specifics of life actions that can be performed by the support person alone, or life support that can be provided to the support person by the support person alone. It is information including contents, modes, and times at which those services can be provided on the same time schedule as the day service.

  The content of the activity is the information provided by the guiding means 5 and includes, for example, blood pressure measurement provided by day service, general activities such as meals, tooth brushing, naps and water intake, and individual activities such as taking medication etc. The aspect of the activity is the information provided by the teaching means 6, and is, for example, a specific movement of the gymnastics when the gymnastic exercises are performed as the activity.

(Server computer)
The server computer 1 of the life support center comprises input means, a central processing unit, display means, printing means, storage means and communication means.
By installing a life support program in these hardwares, a life support program is provided to the computer terminal 2 and the program management means 15 appropriately updates the data, and data for managing the input history from each computer terminal 2 The management means 16 functions.

The program management means 15 comprises user management means 17 and program provision means 18.
The user management means 17 authenticates the user based on the user database 19, and the program support means 18 executes the life support program for the computer terminal 2 of the user who has successfully completed the authentication process. Send.

The data management means 16 includes a home support master database 20 and a history storage means 21.
The at-home support master database 20 is a database of master data as basic information when performing at-home support operations as described above, and the schedule template 22 of each activity included in the schedule information and the basic information for verification 23 As well as individual schedule information to be provided to each user who has successfully completed authentication, and an individual table recording activities and contents corresponding to the schedule information (see FIG. 4).
The history storage means 21 associates the activity history collected from the user's computer terminal 2 with the individual schedules included in the schedule information of each user and stores them.

The life support system configured as described above is operated, for example, as follows (see FIG. 5).
The authentication means 4 transmits the ID and the password from the computer terminal 2 to the server computer 1 with the activation of the life support program in each computer terminal 2.
When the program management means 15 (user management means 17) of the server computer 1 collates with the user of the facility user database 19 and authenticates the user, the user is authenticated.

  When the normal authentication by providing the ID and the password to the server computer 1 is completed, the data management means 16 transmits the schedule information to be applied from the home support master database 20 to the computer terminal 2 of the user thereafter. The at-home support master is transmitted, and the computer terminal 2 of the user downloads the at-home support master from the server computer 1 via the data management means 16 at the at-home support master storage means 9 as a table of files and databases. While holding it, the schedule storage means 24 downloads the schedule information from the server computer 1 of the life support center via the data management means 16, and holds it as a file or database table.

  In this example, the guiding means 5 registers in the calendar module the start time and end time of the activity included in the schedule of the user, the notice time (hereinafter collectively referred to as "registration time"), etc. In response to the time of registration and matching with the registration time, the voice / still image / video call of the predetermined registration time (hereinafter referred to as “activity notification”) is output to the speaker or display screen of the computer terminal 2 (FIG. 6) reference).

  The activity notification provided by the guiding means 5 in this example is a notice for notifying a predetermined time before the start of the activity, a start notification notified at the start of the activity and an end notification notified at the end of the activity and the start notification. Alert notification that is notified when the user is unresponsive (if there is no reply).

The advance notice outputs, for example, a voice such as "Mr. xxx, it is time of ΔΔ soon!" By voice, and the start notice and the end notice are output as, for example, BGM, title, activity screen or voice.
When a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses without any reaction (input) after the advance notice or start notification, the guiding means 5 notifies the user of the level 1 alert by BGM, title, activity screen or voice ( For example, the voice is output “for example, Mr. xxx, time for △!” And the like to prompt reply.

After the output of the level 1 alert notification, if there is no further input for a predetermined time (for example, 60 seconds), the level 2 alert notification (for example, by voice “○” by BGM, title, activity screen or voice) ○ Mr., "Are you all right?" Etc.) to output and prompt the reply.
Furthermore, when a certain period of time (for example, 3 minutes) has passed since the start notification, the reporting means of the computer terminal 2 sends the user to the indoor alarm device, the outdoor life support center, etc. Report that there may be an abnormal situation.

In the case where the guidance means 6 of this example urges the exercise by the guidance means 5, for example, the method of performing the exercise (the explanation of the individual movement and the cautions) is displayed on the display of the computer terminal 2, Along with displaying in text, voice and BGM are output from the speaker.
In addition, in the case of exercise, the teaching means 6 asks by voice “does not hurt Mr. xxx, xx (for example, an individual failure point etc.)?” Please do not ask me. "

In the example of the above exercise, the inquiry means 11 waits for the required time of the exercise prompted by the guidance means 5, and uses voice, characters, still images or a movie, "Mr. ○, did you do gymnastics?" Prompts the provision of results of gymnastics by asking questions (see Fig. 3 (A)), and then picks up voices, characters, actions or operations to be input from a microphone, camera, touch panel or switch, and the computer terminal 2 The data is converted into data that can be recognized and stored as history information by the history storage unit 10 (see FIG. 7).
Furthermore, simultaneously with calling by the teaching means 6 at the time of exercise, by collecting responses at that time by the inquiry means 11, while increasing the incentive for exercise execution, collecting the user's condition in each activity as information The history storage means 10 can hold it as the history information.

In addition, when prompting a meal by the guiding means 5, the guiding means 5 is a voice and a video, for example, a notice of advance, "It is time for lunch soon." As well as displaying the start notification "Let's eat rice" and the end notification "Don't you give it a runaway?" On the display of the computer terminal 2 in concrete with a video or text, the voice or BGM is output by the speaker Do.
In addition, at the time of a meal, when the said teaching method 6 carries out a voice call such as "Please Mr. ○, please bite well." Or "Mr. be able to.

  In the example of the above-mentioned meal, the inquiry means 11 waits for the required time of the meal prompted by the induction means 5, and it is voice, letter, still picture or animation, “Mr. To prompt the provision of the results of the meal by asking questions (see FIG. 3 (B)), the voice, characters, actions or operations subsequently input are collected with a microphone, camera, touch panel or switch, and the computer terminal 2 The data is converted into data that can be recognized and stored as history information by the history storage unit 10 (see FIG. 7).

  Further, in the case where the induction means 5 urges water intake, the induction means 5 is a voice and a video, for example, an advance notice of “○, Mr. Thirst?”, And “○ Mr. , And let's take a moisture, etc. "on the display of the computer terminal 2 specifically as a moving picture or characters, and also output voice and BGM from the speaker.

  In the above example of water intake, the inquiry means 11 waits for the required time of the water intake prompted by the induction means 5, and, by voice, text, still picture or animation, "Ms. (See Fig. 3 (C)), and the voice, characters, actions or operations subsequently input are collected with a microphone, camera, touch panel or switch, and a computer terminal 2 is converted into data that can be recognized, and is stored as history information by the history storage means 10 (see FIG. 7).

  The activity adjustment means 12 of this example compares the history information collected by the inquiry means 11 with the verification basic information 23 for each activity as described above, and if the amount of food and water exceeds the appropriate amount, The activity suppression means 14 deletes the next snacking activity and the activity of water intake, or outputs a voice, text, still picture or moving picture indicating that the amount of the subsequent food or water should be reduced.

  On the other hand, when there is a lack of appropriate amount of food and water, the activity supplementing means 13 intervenes or continues the additional activity for the next snacking activity and the activity of water intake until the next activity. And output a voice, text, still picture or animation as a suggestion that the amount of water should be increased.

In addition, the activity adjusting means 12 processes the activity adjusting means 12 to increase / decrease the related activity with respect to activities such as exercise which are considered to affect the health condition due to lack of food and water intake. Do.
The at-home support master in this example comprises a relation table in which all or part of the related activities are linked with the contents of the collected history.
For example, when it is determined that the intake of food and water is insufficient, the related table is required to avoid general gymnastics that causes physical exhaustion, or it is determined that it is determined that the limb complains about pain or the like. In view of the necessity of avoiding an individual operation that causes a burden on a specific site causing the deterioration of the above, the index is held to be an index for performing appropriate adjustment.

  The activity adjustment means 12 refers to the related table to determine which activities should not be promoted and which activities should be additionally promoted. In the former case, all or one of the following same activities included in the schedule information is selected. In the latter case, the same activity lacking in the schedule information is added with an interval sufficient for the user to perform the same activity.

  Further, the activity adjusting means 12 prevents the guiding means 5 from operating such that the start time of the activity included in the schedule of the user comes during operation such as walking, gymnastics, exercise or driving of the vehicle. For example, referring to an operation table in which the amount and pattern of information detected from the operation detecting means 25 correspond to the reference information of the amount and pattern of the information. And may be configured to coordinate the implementation of the activity according to the action derived therefrom.

  For example, when the operation obtained based on the information detected by the operation detection unit 25 matches the activity to be performed at the time, the operation is stored as the history information by the history storage unit 10 If they do not match, the execution of the activity is postponed until the operation is not detected, or the record indicating that the activity has not been performed is linked to the activity included in the schedule information and the history storage means 10 Record on

  At that time, as long as the life detection of the user (if there is a movement amount that can not be detected when there is a failure in the body, continuous movement of the limbs, etc.) can be detected from the movement detection means 25, notification of abnormal situation It is also possible to employ a process which is removed from the required event and which avoids the processing by the guiding means 5 and the inquiry means 11.
