(Explanation of operation)
FIG. 2 is a time chart showing the operation of the watching system shown in FIG. First, the initial setting will be described. The initial setting is performed by executing steps S1 to S7.

When the remote controller 200 is called a general-purpose remote controller, the watching target person or his family member sets information such as the manufacturer name and model number of the television 300 on the remote controller 200 (step S1).

Further, the watching target person or the like watches the signal indicating the manufacturer name, model number, etc. of the television 300 by operating the remote control 200 or the like so that the watching device 100 can receive the infrared signal 600 transmitted from the remote control 200. It is transmitted to the device 100 (step S2).

In the watching apparatus 100, when the communication unit 150 receives a signal indicating the manufacturer name and model number from the remote controller 200, the setting is registered in the remote controller 200 by storing it in a memory (not shown) (step S3).

Next, in the watching device 100, the communication unit 150 transmits the device ID uniquely assigned to the own device to the server 400 via the network line 700 so that the communication device 150 can communicate with the server 400 (step S4). ).

In addition, the smartphone 500 performs user membership registration using a unique login ID, device ID, etc. assigned to the watching apparatus 100 in order to receive the service of the watching system of the present embodiment. (Step S5).

Specifically, the login ID, the password, and the registration address that is the registration destination described above, which are required when the service of the watching system of the present embodiment is received from the smartphone 500 to the server 400, together with the above device ID. It is transmitted to the server 400 through the network line 700 (step S6).

When the server 400 receives the device ID or the like transmitted from the smartphone 500, the server 400 collates the registered address or the like as a set of correspondence information in a memory or the like as a set by correlating with the device ID transmitted from the watching device 100 in advance. It is stored (step S7).

In this way, the remote controller 200, the watching apparatus 100, the server 400, and the smartphone 500 are associated with each other. The initial setting is completed by executing the above processes.

After the initial setting is completed, the watching target person presses and holds the yellow button 234, which is one of the color buttons 230 of the remote controller 200, with the infrared signal transmitter of the remote controller 200 facing the infrared signal receiver of the television 300. (Step S8).

Then, the remote control 200 starts transmitting the infrared signal 600 corresponding to the yellow button 234 to the television 300 and the watching device 100 installed in the vicinity thereof (steps S9 and S10).

In the watching apparatus 100, when the infrared signal receiving unit 120 receives the infrared signal 600 corresponding to the yellow button from the remote controller 200 and it is determined that the button has been pressed for a predetermined period of time, the watching target is checked. The notification unit 130 is turned on to indicate that the watching apparatus 100 has responded to a long-press operation by a person (step S11).

Next, in the watching device 100, the communication unit 150 adds a yellow button signal indicating that the yellow button has been pressed for a long time to the server 400, adds a unique device ID assigned to the own device, and then connects to the network line. It transmits to the server 400 through 700 (step S12).

When the server 400 receives the yellow button signal transmitted from the watching device 100, the server 400 reads the registration destination address corresponding to the device ID added thereto from the memory as the destination (step S13).

Then, when the server 400 transmits a yellow button signal to the registered address through the network line 700 (step S14), the smartphone 500 can receive this signal, so that the yellow color of the remote controller 200 of the watching target person. The fact that the button 234 has been pressed for a long time can be notified to the family through the smartphone 500 (step S15).

The notification method here is not limited to these, but an email may be sent to the registration destination address, a short message may be sent, or the monitoring of the present embodiment may be performed. An alarm may be issued through an application program attached to the system service.

The family who noticed this performed a release operation for releasing the lighting state of the notification unit 130 of the watching apparatus 100 by operating the smartphone 500 or the like in order to reply that the yellow button signal has been received. (Step S16).

Thereby, the cancellation instruction signal to which the information indicating the registration destination is added is transmitted from the smartphone 500 or the like through the network line 700 (step S17).

Upon receiving the cancellation instruction signal transmitted from the smartphone 500 or the like, the server 400 reads the device ID corresponding to the registration destination address added thereto from the memory as the destination (step S18).

Then, when the server 400 transmits a cancellation instruction signal to the device ID through the network line 700 (step S19), the watching device 100 can receive this signal, so that the notification unit 130 is turned on. If necessary, it switches to the extinguished state via the blinking state (step S20).

As described above, by performing the processes shown in steps S8 to S20 after the initial settings are made, the watching target person can indicate the intention to the family.

On the other hand, when an intention is displayed from the family of the person being watched to the person being watched, it can be realized by the family of the person being watched operating the smartphone 500 or the like. Specifically, for example, an image imitating a blue button may be swipe-operated or tap-operated through an application program installed in the smartphone 500 (step S21).

Accordingly, the smartphone 500 or the like transmits, through the network line 700, a blinking instruction for blinking the notification unit 110 corresponding to the blue button 232 to which the information indicating the registration destination is added (step S22).

Upon receiving the blinking instruction signal transmitted from the smartphone 500 or the like, the server 400 reads the device ID corresponding to the registration destination address added thereto from the memory as the destination (step S23).

Then, when the server 400 transmits a blinking instruction signal to the device ID through the network line 700 (step S24), the watching device 100 can receive this signal, so that the notification unit 130 is removed. It switches to a blinking state (step S25).

As described above, by performing the processing shown in steps S21 to S25 after the initial settings are made, the watching target person can indicate the intention to the family.

In order to avoid repetition of the same description, although not shown, if the watching target person who notices the blinking of the notification unit 130 presses the blue button 232 of the remote controller 200, the steps S15- The process corresponding to step S20 is performed, and it is possible to notify the smartphone 500 that the blinking process has been canceled.

Further, as will be described later, in the watching system of the present embodiment, when the power button 210 of the remote controller 200 is pressed, it is possible to determine whether the power of the television 300 is turned on or off. And the television 300 are strengthened, a program for executing required processing is set in these, and when the power of the television 300 is turned on, the contents to be notified by the notification units 110 and 130 are notified. Displaying on the screen of the television 300 is also a method. In this case, a so-called smart TV may be used as the TV 300.

That is, specifically, in the case where an agreement is made between the watching target person and his/her family, it means that when the blue button 232 is pressed, as described above, the meaning is “I'm fine”. Makes it possible to set the meaning of the watching device 100 and the television 300 through the remote controller 200.

Then, when the blue button 232 of the remote controller 200 is pressed for a long time while the power of the television 300 is on, and the watching device 100 detects it, the fact that the watching device 100 can output to the television 300 is enabled. .. On the other hand, in the television 300, when this output signal is input, information such as "I sent a message saying that I'm fine" can be displayed on the display.

Alternatively, since the television 300 is powered on, the television 300 detects that the blue button 232 of the remote controller 200 has been pressed and held, and the same operation can be performed without the intervention of the watching device 100. To do. In this case, the output from the watching apparatus 100 to the TV 300 may be suppressed when the power of the TV 300 is on so that the watching apparatus 100 does not give the duplicate instruction to the TV 300.
