Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To monitor a person using an infrared sensor among this type of monitoring device for an elderly person, it is not possible to distinguish between a healthy person and an elderly person, and a monitoring device using a security tag sensor for crime prevention. In the monitoring equipment where the equipment is large and not suitable for ordinary households, and the elderly person has a transmitter and the alarm sounds when leaving a certain area, the elderly person removes or throws away the transmitter. There was a problem that it came out.
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention uses an infrared sensor to detect a person near the entrance / exit of a house or facility, and then transmits a radio wave of a small power radio to be accommodated in the clothes of an elderly person. The radio wave is reflected by the tag part. When the reflected radio wave is detected, it is identified as an elderly person, an alarm is given, an automatic notification device activation signal is generated, etc., so that the elderly person can go out in a timely manner so that a third party can be notified quickly. Thus, the conventional problems are solved.

Description

Detailed description of the invention

  The present invention relates to the monitoring of carefree going-out by elderly people from homes or facilities.

  In the past, there was no small equipment because the equipment that the elderly person specified and worn by monitoring the elderly person going out of the house or facility did not make the elderly person feel uncomfortable.

Problems that the device tries to solve

  However, in the above conventional monitor, the person's monitor using an infrared sensor cannot distinguish between a healthy person and an elderly person, and if there is a person who passes in front of the sensor, all will react, Monitors with crime prevention tag sensors for crime prevention are not suitable for general households due to the large equipment, and furthermore, elderly people send alarms to elderly people who hang transmitters from their necks and leave alarms when they leave a certain area. There was a problem that operational restrictions came out such as removing or throwing away the vessel.

Means for solving the problem

  The present invention uses an infrared sensor to detect a person near the entrance / exit of a house or facility, and then transmits a radio wave of a micro-power radio to monitor the reflection of the radio wave from the tag unit housed in the clothes of the elderly. . When it detects the reflection of radio waves from the tag part, it will identify the elderly person, sound an alarm, generate an activation signal for the automatic notification device, etc. The problem can be solved by making it possible to notify a third party as soon as possible.

  The sensor unit in the main unit is composed of an infrared sensor for human body detection and a micro power wireless transceiver. The infrared sensor detects the presence of a person, transmits a radio wave of a low-power radio, and if the radio wave reflected by the tag housed in the clothes of the elderly can be detected, the person detected by the infrared sensor is determined to be an elderly person To do. When it can be determined that the elderly person is an elderly person, it has a function of judging that the elderly person is inadvertently going out, sounds an alarm, and generates an activation signal to an automatic notification device or the like.

  FIG. 1 is an example of installation of an elderly monitor according to an embodiment of the present invention. 1 is a main body, 2 is a clothing tag, 3 is an elderly person, 4 is a power supply for the main body, and 5 is an infrared sensor sensing range. , 6 is a micro power radio, and 7 is an automatic notification device.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of a configuration of an elderly monitor according to an embodiment of the present invention. 11 is a CPU circuit, 12 is an infrared sensor detection circuit, 13 is a minute power wireless transmission / reception circuit, 14 is an alarm sound generation circuit, and 15 is an alarm sound generation circuit. It is an automatic notification device starting circuit.

  FIG. 3 is a schematic external view of a main part of an elderly monitor according to an embodiment of the present invention, 21 is an infrared sensor, 22 is a low power wireless antenna, 23 is an alarm speaker, and 24 is an alarm display lamp.

  Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. In FIG. 1, the infrared sensor sensing range 5 of the main body 1 of the embodiment is directed to the vicinity of the entrance / exit in the house or facility, and the main body 1 is placed on the wall near the commercial power outlet in the range where the minute power wireless 6 can be received. It is attached together with the power supply 4 for the part. Next, the tag part 2 for clothes is affixed on the location which does not feel the uncomfortable feeling around the neck of the clothes of the elderly person 3.

  When a person approaches the vicinity of the doorway in the house or facility, the infrared sensor 21 of the main body 1 and the infrared sensor detection circuit 12 detect the detected information and transmit the detection information to the CPU circuit 11. The CPU circuit 11 transmits the minute power wireless 6 from the minute power wireless transmission / reception circuit 13 and the minute power wireless antenna 22, and the reflected minute power wireless 6 is detected by the minute power wireless transmission / reception circuit 13 through the minute power wireless antenna 22. At this time, when the elderly person 3 wearing the clothes with the clothes tag 2 attached is standing in the vicinity of the entrance / exit in the house or facility, the minute tag radio 2 reflects the minute power radio 6. Then, the minute power wireless transmission / reception circuit 13 can detect and the CPU circuit 11 determines the elderly person. If it is determined that the person is an elderly person 3, the CPU circuit 11 sounds an alarm from the alarm sound generation circuit 14 and the alarm speaker 23, further turns on the alarm display lamp 24, and operates the automatic notification device 7 via the automatic notification device start circuit 15. The caregiver 3 is informed of the inadvertent outing.

Effect of device

  As is apparent from the above embodiments, the present invention cannot distinguish between a healthy person and an elderly person who stands near the doorway in a house or facility by using a sensor for detecting a human body. In addition, monitoring equipment with security tag sensors for crime prevention is difficult to install due to the large equipment, and in addition, if the elderly person has a transmitter, there is an operational limitation that the elderly person removes or discards the transmitter. May come out. By using an elderly person monitor, it has the effect of sufficiently reducing the burden on the surrounding people who care for the elderly person. In addition, when a person who cares for an elderly person is absent, there is a function for generating a signal for starting the automatic notification device, so that a specific location can be notified using a public line. By using the automatic notification device in combination, there is also an effect that it is possible to notify an outside party of an unexpected outing of an elderly person.
