Description

The present invention relates to a monitoring device, a monitoring system, a monitoring method and a monitoring program.

In facilities used by a large number of users, such as hospitals and long-term care facilities, users may wander around the facility or escape from the facility due to illness. Therefore, it is necessary for the staff of the facility to constantly visually monitor the inside of the facility so that the user does not wander around the facility or escape from the facility due to illness. Here, the user monitored by the staff of the facility is referred to as a monitored person. In addition, the staff of the facility that monitors the monitored person is called a monitor.

On the other hand, Patent Document 1 proposes a method of having a monitored person possess a portable wireless communication device to monitor the monitored person. In this method, the monitored person possesses a portable wireless communication device that transmits beacon ID information. In addition, the beacon ID information received from the portable wireless communication device by the wireless receiver installed in the wireless LAN base station in the predetermined area covering the safety area of the monitored person and the other dangerous areas, and its own gate. A detection signal including ID information is transmitted to the server. Furthermore, if the installation position of the wireless receiver to which the server transmitted the detection signal is within the danger area of the monitored person, the nearest wireless receiver is installed immediately to the contact information of the guardian of the monitored person. Notify the position and radio signal reception time. This makes it possible for the observer to detect the wandering and escape of the monitored person without visually monitoring the inside of the facility.
