Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a nurse call system and a call control device, and more particularly to a nurse call system and a call control device used therein in which a patient presses a call button to call a nurse.

Nurse call systems are generally used in hospitals, nursing homes, and the like. The nurse call system is used when patients in hospitals or care recipients in nursing homes (hereinafter simply referred to as "patients") need the support of doctors, nurses, or caregivers (hereinafter simply referred to as "nurses"). , the patient can call a nurse by pressing a call button or the like. In this type of nurse call system, when a patient presses a call button on a nurse call slave device to make a call, the nurse call master device notifies that the call has been made.

By the way, as one method for reducing the occurrence of erroneous alarms in the nurse call master unit, it is conceivable to make a call by pressing the call button for a long time or by pressing it multiple times. On the other hand, there is known a nurse call system that determines the operation time (or number of times) of a call button and outputs a normal call signal or a test call signal (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

However, in the technique of Patent Document 1, when the test call mode is set, either the normal call signal or the test call signal is output according to the operation time (or number of times) of the call button, while the normal call mode is set. When the call button is operated, the normal call signal is output regardless of the call button operation time (or number of times). In other words, in both the normal call mode and the test call mode, the normal call signal is output only by pressing the call button for a short time or by pressing it once. Therefore, the technique described in Patent Document 1 cannot be used for the purpose of reducing the occurrence of false alarms.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and it is an object of the present invention to suppress the occurrence of false alarms from the viewpoint of the call button operation time and the number of times the call button is operated.

In order to solve the above-described problems, in the present invention, it is determined whether or not the duration of operation of the call button has reached a threshold time or more, and whether or not the number of consecutive operations of the call button has reached or exceeded the threshold number of times. However, when it is detected that the operation duration time of the call button has exceeded the threshold time or the number of continuous operations has exceeded the threshold number of times, a notification is made.

According to the present invention configured as described above, both the point of whether or not the continuous operation time of the call button is equal to or greater than the threshold time and the point of whether or not the number of consecutive operations of the call button is equal to or greater than the threshold number of times. is determined, and if it is determined that neither of them apply, the notification is not performed, and if it is determined that either one of the points applies, the notification is performed. Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of false alarms from the viewpoint of both the call button operation time and the number of times the call button is operated.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of a nurse call system according to this embodiment. Although a nurse call system installed in a hospital will be described here as an example, the nurse call system of this embodiment is not limited to one installed in a hospital. For example, it can also be applied when installed in a nursing facility or the like.

As shown in FIG. 1, the nurse call system of this embodiment comprises a nurse call master unit 1, a controller 2, a corridor light 3, a wall-embedded slave unit 4, and a hand-type slave unit 5. . In the following description, the wall-embedded child device 4 and hand-held child device 5 are collectively referred to as nurse call child devices 4 and 5. FIG.

The nurse call master unit 1 receives a call from the nurse call slave units 4 and 5 and performs predetermined notification processing. In this embodiment, the nurse call master unit 1 includes a stationary nurse call master unit installed in a nurse center and a portable nurse call master unit carried by nurses. The predetermined notification processing includes processing for displaying patient information (for example, name, room number, bed number, etc.) relating to the patient who made the call on the display and processing for outputting a ringing tone from the speaker. When a nurse responds to a call from the nurse call slave units 4 and 5 using the nurse call master unit 1, a communication path is established between the nurse call slave units 4 and 5 and the nurse call master unit 1. It is formed so that the patient and the nurse can have a conversation.

The control unit 2 is arranged between the nurse call base unit 1 and the corridor light 3, and controls communication and data transmission/reception.

Corridor lights 3 are installed outside near the entrance of each sickroom in the hospital. This corridor light 3 is equipped with a display device, which displays the name of the patient in the room, and when the patient in the room uses the wall-embedded child device 4 or the hand-held child device 5 to call a nurse. , to show that the call was made. Corridor light 3 also transfers a call signal transmitted from wall-embedded child device 4 or hand-held child device 5 to nurse call master device 1 via controller 2 .

The wall-embedded child device 4 is embedded in the wall of each bedside of the hospital room. This wall-embedded slave unit 4 is connected to a corridor light 3. - 特許庁The wall-embedded child device 4 has a call button for the patient to call the nurse, a microphone and speaker used by the patient to converse with the nurse, and a connection terminal for connecting the hand-held child device 5. ing. The wall-mounted cordless handset 4 outputs a call signal in response to pressing of the call button. Note that the configuration of the wall-embedded child device 4 is not limited to this. For example, it may not have a call button.

The hand-type child device 5 is connected to the wall-embedded child device 4 . The hand-held handset 5 has a call button for the patient to call the nurse, a microphone and a speaker for the patient to talk with the nurse. The hand-type handset 5 outputs a call signal in response to pressing of the call button. Note that the configuration of the hand-type child device 5 is not limited to this. For example, it may be one without a microphone and speaker (for example, a grip push button).

In this embodiment, the nurse call subunits 4 and 5 having call buttons have a function as a call control device, and control transmission of call signals. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration example of the nurse call subunits 4 and 5 (call control device) regarding execution of this control. As shown in FIG. 2, the call control device of this embodiment includes a depression operation detection unit 21, an operation time determination unit 22, an operation number determination unit 23, and a call signal output unit 24 as functional configurations.

Each of the functional blocks 21 to 24 can be configured by hardware, DSP (Digital Signal Processor), or software. For example, when configured by software, the functional blocks 21 to 24 are actually configured with a CPU, RAM, ROM, etc. of a computer, and are realized by running programs stored in the RAM and ROM. Note that the program may be stored in another recording medium such as a hard disk or a semiconductor memory.

3A and 3B are diagrams showing an operation example of the call control device. The operation of each functional block shown in FIG. 2 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B. 3A and 3B are collectively referred to as FIG. 3 in the following description.

The pressing operation detecting unit 21 detects pressing operation of the call button, and outputs a pressing signal while detecting pressing of the call button. That is, as shown in FIG. 3C, the pressing operation detection unit 21 starts outputting a pressing signal when it detects pressing of the call button, and continues outputting the pressing signal while the pressing continues. and stops outputting the press signal when it detects that the call button has stopped being pressed. Thus, the press signal rises at the timing when the call button is detected to be pressed, and falls at the timing when the call button is stopped being pressed.

The operation time determination unit 22 determines whether or not the operation duration time of the call button is equal to or longer than the threshold time. That is, as shown in FIG. 3A, the operation time determination unit 22 starts measuring the operation duration time when the push signal rises in response to the push of the call button. Further, the operation time determining unit 22 stops measuring the operation duration time and initializes the measured value to zero when the depression signal falls in response to the termination of the depression of the call button. Then, the operation time determination unit 22 determines whether or not the operation duration time thus measured is equal to or longer than the threshold time.

The number-of-operations determining unit 23 determines whether or not the number of consecutive operations of the call button is equal to or greater than the threshold number of times. That is, as shown in FIG. 3B, the number-of-operations determination unit 23 increments the measured value of the number of consecutive operations when the push signal rises in response to the push of the call button. In addition, the operation count determination unit 23 starts measuring the non-operation time when the push signal falls in response to the stop of pressing the call button. If there is no , initialize the continuous operation count measurement value to zero. Then, the number-of-operations determining unit 23 determines whether or not the number of consecutive operations measured in this way is equal to or greater than the threshold number of times.

The call signal output unit 24 corresponds to the control unit in the claims, and when the operation time determination unit 22 determines that the operation duration time of the call button is equal to or longer than the threshold time, or when the call signal output unit 24 When it is determined by the operation number determination unit 23 that the number of consecutive button operations has exceeded the threshold number of times, a call signal is output to the nurse call master unit 1 to notify the nurse call master unit 1. control so that As shown in FIG. 3(d), the call signal rises when the continuous operation time of the call button is equal to or greater than the threshold time or the number of continuous operations is equal to or greater than the threshold number of times, and then falls after a certain period of time. is.

The operation time determination unit 22 initializes the measured value of the operation duration time of the call button to zero when the call signal output unit 24 outputs the call signal. In the example of FIG. 3, the measured value of the operation duration is initialized to zero in synchronization with the trailing edge of the call signal. When the call signal is output by the call signal output unit 24 (synchronized with the falling edge of the call signal), the operation count determining unit 23 also initializes the measured value of the number of consecutive call button operations to zero.

Here, as shown in FIG. 3A, when the call signal is output in response to the number of consecutive operations of the call button being equal to or greater than the threshold number, the operation time determination unit 22 determines the operation duration time of the call button. Initialize the measurement value. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the call signal is output in response to the operation duration time of the call button being equal to or longer than the threshold time, the measurement of the operation duration time is continued. On the other hand, the number-of-operations determining unit 23 determines not only when a call signal is output in response to the number of consecutive operations of the call button being equal to or greater than the threshold number of times, but also when the duration of operation of the call button is equal to or greater than the threshold time. Also when a call signal is output in response to the fact that it has become, the measured value of the number of consecutive operations is initialized.

In the example of FIG. 3A, as shown in FIG. 3A(d), the number of times of operation determination unit 23 determines that the number of consecutive operations of the call button has exceeded the threshold number of times (three times in the example of FIG. 3). A state in which a call signal is output by the call signal output unit 24 in response to . By the output of this call signal, the measured value of the operation duration and the measured value of the number of continuous operations of the call button are both initialized to zero in synchronization with the trailing edge of the call signal.

In the example of FIG. 3A, the call button is pressed again within a predetermined period of time after the call signal is output, and the measured value of the number of consecutive operations of the call button is incremented to "1". After that, since the next depression of the call button was not detected within a predetermined time after the fall of the depression signal, the measured value of the number of consecutive operations of the call button is initialized to zero.

In the example of FIG. 3B, as shown in FIG. 3B(d), the operation time determination unit 22 determines that the operation duration time of the call button is equal to or longer than the threshold time. A state in which a call signal (1) is output is shown. Let the threshold time in this case be the first threshold time, let the call signal output when the operation continuation time reaches the first threshold time be the first call signal (1), and respond to the first call signal (1) The notification made by the nurse call base unit 1 is referred to as the first notification.

Due to the output of the first call signal (1), the measured value of the number of continuous operations is initialized to zero in synchronization with the trailing edge of the first call signal (1). However, in the example of FIG. 3B, the call button continues to be pressed even after the first call signal (1) is output, and the measured value of the operation duration time is not initialized to zero. That is, when the first call signal (1) is output in response to the operation duration time of the call button being equal to or longer than the first threshold time, the operation time determination unit 22 continues measuring the operation duration time.

The call signal output unit 24 outputs the first call signal (1) when the operation time determination unit 22 determines that the operation duration time of the call button is equal to or longer than the first threshold time. Control so that notification is performed. Further, the call signal output unit 24 outputs the first call signal (1) when the operation time determination unit 22 determines that the operation duration time of the call button is equal to or longer than the second threshold time. 2 Control is performed so that the second notification is performed by outputting the call signal (2). The second threshold time is set to a sufficiently large value compared to the first threshold time.

Even if the patient presses the call button to call the nurse, the nurse cannot immediately go to the patient because the nurse is busy with other tasks There is On the other hand, by performing the second notification following the first notification, it is possible to inform the nurse that the nurse has not yet responded to the first notification.

Here, the difference between the first call signal (1) and the second call signal (2) can be distinguished by the nurse call master unit 1, and the processing contents of the first notification and the processing contents of the second notification are different. You may allow For example, it is possible to vary the type or volume of the notification sounds. When the operation duration time of the call button reaches the first threshold time and the first call signal (1) is output, even if the call button is stopped being pressed, the call button is pressed again after the first threshold time. If the button is pressed for more than the time, the first calling signal (1) is output again. However, the notification performed in this case is the first notification, and has the same content as the first notification process. On the other hand, even after the call button operation duration reaches the first threshold time and the first call signal (1) is output, the call button is continued to be pressed, and the operation duration reaches the second threshold time or more. Then, the second calling signal (2) is output and the second notification is executed. If the contents of processing for this second notification are different from the contents of processing for the first notification, it is possible to notify the nurse of the re-notification.

When the call signal output unit 24 outputs the second call signal (2) to perform the second notification, the operation time determination unit 22 performs the second notification in synchronization with the rise of the second call signal (2). , the measured value of the operation duration of the call button is returned to the first threshold time, and measurement of the operation duration is continued. After that, the call signal output unit 24 outputs the second call signal (2) each time the operation duration of the call button becomes equal to or longer than the second threshold time, so that the nurse call base unit 1 performs the second notification. control so that

4 and 5 are flow charts showing an operation example of the call control device configured as described above. FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing an operation example of outputting a call signal based on the number of consecutive operations of the call button. FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing an operation example of outputting a call signal based on the operation duration of the call button. The flowchart shown in FIG. 4 and the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 are executed in parallel.

In FIG. 4, first, the depression operation detection unit 21 determines whether or not the depression operation of the call button has been detected (step S1). Here, the determination in step S1 is repeated until the pressing operation of the call button is detected. Then, when the pressing operation of the call button is detected, the pressing operation detection unit 21 outputs a pressing signal (step S2). In synchronization with the rise of the push-down signal, the number-of-operations determining unit 23 increments the measured value of the number of consecutive operations (step S3).

Then, the number-of-operations determining unit 23 determines whether or not the number of consecutive operations of the call button is equal to or greater than the threshold number of times (step S4). Here, when the number-of-operations determining unit 23 determines that the number of consecutive operations of the call button is equal to or greater than the threshold number of times, the calling signal output unit 24 outputs a calling signal (step S5). Then, in synchronization with the trailing edge of the call signal, the operation time determining unit 22 initializes the measured value of the continuous operation time to zero (step S6), and the operation number determining unit 23 resets the measured value of the number of consecutive operations. Initialize to zero (step S7). After that, the process returns to step S1.

In step S4, when the operation number determination unit 23 determines that the number of consecutive operations of the call button is not equal to or greater than the threshold number of times, the pressing operation detection unit 21 detects the pressing operation of the call button detected in step S1. It is determined whether or not a stop has been detected (step S8). Here, when it is detected that the pressing operation of the call button is stopped, the pressing operation detection unit 21 stops outputting the pressing signal (step S9). Then, the operation count determination unit 23 determines whether or not a predetermined time has passed since the fall of the depression signal (step S10), and when the predetermined time has passed, the process proceeds to step S7.

On the other hand, if the predetermined time has not yet passed since the fall of the depression signal, the depression operation detection unit 21 determines whether or not the depression operation of the call button has been detected again (step S11). Here, if the pressing operation of the call button is not detected, the process returns to step S10, and the monitoring of the elapse of the predetermined time is continued. On the other hand, when the pressing operation of the call button is detected again, the process proceeds to step S2, and the same process as above is executed.

In FIG. 5, first, the depression operation detection unit 21 determines whether or not the depression operation of the call button has been detected (step S11). Here, the determination in step S11 is repeated until the pressing operation of the call button is detected. Then, when the pressing operation of the call button is detected, the pressing operation detection unit 21 outputs a pressing signal (step S12). In synchronization with the rising edge of the depression signal, the operation time determination unit 22 starts measuring the operation duration time (step S13).

After that, the operation time determination unit 22 determines whether or not the operation duration time of the call button has reached the first threshold time (step S14). If the operation duration time of the call button has not yet reached the first threshold time, the pressing operation detection unit 21 determines whether or not the stop of the pressing operation of the call button detected in step S11 has been detected (step S15). ). Here, if the stop of the pressing operation of the call button is not detected, the process returns to step S14. On the other hand, when it is detected that the pressing operation of the call button is stopped, the pressing operation detection unit 21 stops outputting the pressing signal (step S16). Then, the operation time determination unit 22 initializes the measured value of the operation duration time to zero in synchronization with the fall of the depression signal (step S17). After that, the process returns to step S11.

When it is determined in step S14 that the operation duration of the call button has reached the first threshold time, the call signal output unit 24 outputs the first call signal (step S18). Then, the number-of-operations determining unit 23 initializes the measured value of the number of consecutive operations to zero in synchronization with the fall of the first call signal (step S19). After that, the operation time determination unit 22 determines whether or not the operation duration time of the call button has reached the second threshold time (step S20). If the operation duration time of the call button has not yet reached the second threshold time, the pressing operation detection unit 21 determines whether or not the stop of the pressing operation of the call button detected in step S11 has been detected (step S21). ).

Here, if the stop of the pressing operation of the call button is not detected, the process returns to step S20. On the other hand, when it is detected that the pressing operation of the call button is stopped, the pressing operation detection unit 21 stops outputting the pressing signal (step S22). Then, the operation time determination unit 22 initializes the measured value of the operation duration time to zero in synchronization with the fall of the depression signal (step S23). After that, the process returns to step S11.

When it is determined in step S20 that the operation duration time of the call button has reached the second threshold time, the call signal output unit 24 outputs the second call signal (step S24). Then, in synchronization with the rise of the second call signal, the operation time determination unit 22 returns the measured value of the operation duration time to the first threshold time (step S25). After that, the process advances to step S21 to continue the same process as above.

As described in detail above, in the present embodiment, in the nurse call subunits 4 and 5, it is determined whether or not the continuous operation time of the call button is equal to or longer than the threshold time, and the number of continuous operation of the call button is equal to or greater than the threshold number of times. By judging whether or not the above is reached, and outputting a call signal when it is detected that the operation duration of the call button is equal to or more than the threshold time or that the number of consecutive operations is equal to or more than the threshold number of times, The nurse call master unit 1 is configured to make the notification.

According to this embodiment configured as described above, both the point of whether or not the operation duration time of the call button is equal to or longer than the threshold time, and the point of whether or not the number of times of continuous operation of the call button is equal to or more than the threshold number of times. is determined, and if it is determined that neither of them apply, the notification is not performed, and if it is determined that either one of the points applies, the notification is performed. As a result, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of erroneous alarms from the viewpoint of both the operation time and the number of operations of the call button compared to the case where the call signal is output regardless of the length of the pressing time by pressing the call button only once. can be done.

Further, in the above embodiment, the first threshold time and the second threshold time larger than the first threshold time are set for the call button operation duration time, and when the call button operation duration time reaches the first threshold time, the first threshold time is reached. A call signal is output, and a second call signal is output when the operation continuation time of the call button, which is continuously pressed thereafter, reaches the second threshold time. Thus, by continuing to press the call button for a long time, the first notification and the second notification can be executed by the nurse call base unit 1, thereby alerting the patient that calls are continuing. can be made to the nurse by the second notification.

In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the measurement of the operation duration is continued even after the first call signal is output in response to the call button operation duration being equal to or longer than the first threshold time has been described. The invention is not limited to this. For example, when the first call signal is output, the operation duration measurement value may be initialized to zero and then the operation duration measurement may be continued. In this case, the operation time determination unit 22 determines that the operation duration time measured after initialization (the operation duration time of the call button after reaching the first threshold time) is longer than the first threshold time ( The second threshold time in this case corresponds to the difference time between the second threshold time and the first threshold time shown in FIG. 3B) or more.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example in which the nurse call slave units 4 and 5 have the function of the call control device has been described, but the hallway light 3, the controller 2, or the nurse call master unit 1 may have the function of the call control device. In this case, a call signal equivalent to the push-down signal shown in FIG. A call control device provided in the controller 2 or the nurse call base unit 1 measures the operation duration and the number of continuous operations in synchronization with the rise and fall of the call signal transmitted from the nurse call slave units 4 and 5. to do. When the corridor light 3 or the controller 2 includes a call control device, when the operation duration time reaches the threshold time (first threshold time and second threshold time) or when the number of consecutive operations reaches the threshold number of times Then, the call signal is transferred to the nurse call base unit 1. Further, when the nurse call base unit 1 is equipped with a call control device, the notification process is executed when the continuous operation time reaches the threshold time or when the number of continuous operations reaches the threshold number of times.

Further, in the above embodiment, the first threshold time and the second threshold time are set for the operation duration time of the call button, and the first notification is performed when the operation duration time of the call button reaches the first threshold time, Although the example in which the second notification is performed when the operation duration time reaches the second threshold time after that has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, only the first threshold time may be set and only the first notification may be performed.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example in which the measurement values of the operation duration and the number of consecutive operations are initialized in synchronization with the falling edge of the call signal has been described. You may make it initialize the measured value of the frequency|count.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the time interval between pressing the call button is within a predetermined time, it is regarded as a continuous operation and the number of continuous operations is measured. Although an example of outputting a call signal has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is determined whether or not the call button has been pressed more than a threshold number of times within a predetermined fixed time, and a call signal is output when the number of times the call button has been pressed within the predetermined time exceeds the threshold number of times. can be

In addition, the above-described embodiments are merely examples of specific implementations of the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention should not be construed in a limited manner. Thus, the invention may be embodied in various forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics.
