2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional behavior determining apparatus, for example, there is an apparatus for determining the behavior of an elderly person living alone. Specifically, the number and frequency of pressing the button of the Jarpot used in the house where the elderly living alone live are continuously detected for a predetermined period such as one month, and the average daily usage status is calculated. , The jarpot's movement pattern is recorded in advance, the jarpot's use after the recording is recorded, and in other words the jarpot's movement is detected, and the detected jarpot's movement is compared with the recorded pattern. Then, there is a device that determines whether or not the operation of the jar pot substantially matches the pattern. The device determines the behavior of the elderly living alone based on the determination result, for example, if the pattern does not actually use the jarpot at the time it is used,
A warning is sent to the management center connected to the behavior determination device that the elderly living alone may be ill. Further, as another conventional behavior determination device, so as to compare the operation and the pattern of the above-mentioned jar pot, by comparing the usage status of the tap water detected by the sensor attached to the water meter and the pattern, There is also a device that determines the behavior of an elderly person living alone by determining whether or not the usage situation substantially matches the pattern.

Also, although it is similar to an apparatus for comparing the operation of a device such as a jar pot with a pattern and determining whether the operation of the device substantially matches the pattern, it detects the operation of the device. There is also an action determination device that directly detects the action of a person and determines whether or not the action of the person substantially matches a pattern recorded in advance. As a means for directly detecting the behavior of a person, for example, a pyroelectric infrared sensor, which is installed in a room where a resident in a house often passes or a ceiling part of a corridor and detects a person living, is used. There is a human sensor.

[0004]

In the above-described conventional behavior determination apparatus, the actual operation of the device and the recorded pattern do not match within a predetermined time range or within a predetermined operation range. In addition, when the actual behavior of the target person and the recorded pattern do not match within a predetermined time range or within a predetermined behavior range, a warning is issued. Therefore, for example, when the subject's time to visit the hospital changes and the subject is cooking in the kitchen at the time when the subject is supposed to be sleeping in the bedroom in the recorded pattern, The subject is warned because the behavior of the subject and the operation of the device are different from the recorded patterns.

When the subject is warned, he / she can, for example, stop the warning sound, but cannot respond to the warning. Specifically, after the warning,
It was not possible to additionally record the action or motion that was the subject of the warning as a new pattern in the action determination device, or replace it with a pattern that has already been recorded and record it.

In consideration of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention notifies the information to that effect when the pattern recorded in advance does not substantially match the behavior of the subject or the operation of the device, and the notification. It is an object of the present invention to provide an action determination device that inputs a response to.

Further, according to the present invention, the behavior of the subject or the operation of the device which does not substantially match the pattern is additionally recorded or recorded as a new pattern based on the response of the subject to the notification. It is an object of the present invention to provide an action determination device that changes and records all or part of a pattern.

Furthermore, the present invention accurately specifies the behavior of the subject, reports the precise behavior of the subject, inputs the response of the subject to the notification, and based on the response, informs the subject. The purpose is to provide a care system for caring for. Moreover, this invention aims at providing the care housing provided with the care system.

First, the occupant has CCD cameras 1a and 1b, an infrared sensor 2, an in-bed sensor 3, an air quality sensor 4,
The behavior of the target resident detected by the toilet sensor 5, the PIT 11, and the transmitting / receiving unit 12 is recorded in the first recording unit 23 of the management unit 10. Similarly,
The resident, when the action is recorded in the first recording means 23, the window opening / closing detection means 6 and 7, the TV power ON / OF.
The respective operations of the opening / closing operation of the windows 19 and 20, the ON / OFF operation of the power supply of the television 21, and the opening / closing operation of the door of the refrigerator 22 detected by the F detection means 8 and the refrigerator door opening / closing detection means 9 are described below. The recording means 23 records.

Here, for convenience of the following description, the behavior of the above-mentioned target resident, the opening / closing operation of the windows 19 and 20, the power ON / OFF operation of the television 21, and the refrigerator 22.
It is assumed that the recording of the door opening / closing operation in the first recording means 23 is continuously performed in 1998 for one year. Then, the behavior of the resident recorded in the first recording means 23 is averaged every month, and is recorded anew in the first recording means 23 as a pattern of the behavior of the resident as a target. To do. Similarly, opening and closing operations of the windows 19 and 20,
Turning on / off the power of the TV 21 and the refrigerator 2
It is assumed that the operations of opening and closing the door of No. 2 are averaged every month and recorded again in the first recording means 23 as the operation pattern of the device.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the first recording means 23 stores the averaged behavior pattern of the occupants and the operation pattern of the device in each month of 1998. You are recording. Here, the behavior pattern of July 1998 recorded in the first recording means 23 is the first pattern, the operation pattern of the device is the second pattern, and in FIG. The part from 8:00 to 3:00 pm is shown in FIG. 4, and the part from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm in the second pattern is shown.

First, a part of the first pattern will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, as the first pattern, from 8:00 am to 9:30 am, the image of the resident is included in the image of the kitchen 14 taken by the CCD camera 1a,
Moreover, C in the kitchen 14 measured by the air quality sensor 4
Since the O ₂ concentration exceeds the predetermined threshold value, it is detected that the resident is in the kitchen 14, which is recorded in the first recording means 23. When a person is present in the kitchen 14, the CO ₂ concentration in the kitchen 14 rises, so the air quality sensor 4 uses the CO ₂ concentration in the kitchen 14.
₂ By measuring the concentration, it becomes possible to detect whether or not there is a person in the kitchen 14. Further, when a person cooks in the kitchen 14, the humidity, the CO ₂ concentration, and the concentration of the volatile organic components increase, so the air quality sensor 4 uses the humidity, the CO ₂ concentration, and the concentration of the volatile organic components in the kitchen 14 all or one of them. It is possible to detect whether or not there is a person in the kitchen 14 by measuring the parts.

At 9:30 am, the infrared sensor 2 detects the movement of a person, the resident image disappears from the image of the kitchen 14 taken by the CCD camera 1a, and the air quality sensor 4 measures. CO in the kitchen 14
_{2 When the} density falls below a predetermined threshold value, and the image of the resident is included in the image of the living room 15 captured by the CCD camera 1b, the resident exits the kitchen 14 and starts living. It has been detected that the room 15 has been entered and is recorded in the first recording means 23. After that, from 9:30 to 11:00, the image of the living room 15 taken by the CCD camera 1b continued to include the figure of the resident, so it was detected that the resident was in the living room 15, It is recorded in the first recording means 23.

At 11:00 am, the infrared sensor 2 detects the movement of a person again, and the image of the kitchen 14 photographed by the CCD camera 1a includes the figure of the resident, and the quality of the occupant is further reduced. Since the humidity, CO ₂ concentration, and volatile organic component concentration in the kitchen 14 measured by the sensor 4 exceeded the predetermined threshold values, it was detected that the resident was in the kitchen 14, which was the first record. It is recorded in the means 23.

Then, at 12:00 pm, the first recording means 23 records that the resident has left the kitchen 14 and entered the living room 15 due to the infrared sensor 2 detecting infrared rays again. After that, from 2 pm to 3 pm
Until then, the presence sensor 3 detects the load applied to the bed 17 to detect that the occupant was in the bed 17, and the fact is recorded in the first recording unit 23.

As described above, the first pattern is
It is the averaged behavior pattern of July 1998.

When the resident moves from the kitchen 14 to the living room 15 or from the living room 15 to the kitchen 14, the infrared sensor 2 detects the movement of a person. In that case, the infrared sensor 2 moves the person. The information indicating that is detected is output to the transmitting / receiving means 12. Then, the transmitting / receiving unit 12 transmits, to the PIT 11, an instruction for transmitting an identification number for identifying the person carrying the PIT 11 with a radio wave having high directivity in a limited space. . The PIT 11 that received the instruction
An identification number for identifying a resident being carried is transmitted by radio waves, and the transmitting / receiving means 12 identifies the person who emitted the infrared ray detected by the infrared sensor 2 based on the identification number from the PIT 11. The identification specifies who is the resident who has moved from the kitchen 14 to the living room 15 or from the living room 15 to the kitchen 14.

Such a specifying method is used when a plurality of people live in a house and when it is specified who is the person who has moved from one of the adjacent rooms to the other, and also in the adjacent rooms. And can be used to identify who has moved from one side of the corridor to the other. In order to identify who is the person who has moved from one of the adjacent rooms and the corridor to the other, for example, on the ceiling or the like adjacent to the room and the corridor, such as the transmitting / receiving unit 12 described above, P
Based on the identification number from the IT 11, it is necessary to install means for identifying who is the person who has moved from one of the room and the corridor to the other.

Next, a part of the second pattern will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the window opening / closing detection means 6 detects that the window 19 is closed from 8 am to 3 pm,
The window opening / closing detection means 7 has opened the window 20 from 9:30 am to 10:00 am and from 1:30 pm to 2:00 pm, and has closed the window 20 at other times. Are recorded in the first recording means 23 as a part of the second pattern.

Further, the TV power ON / OFF detecting means 8
However, from 9:30 am to 11:00 am and from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm, the power of the TV 21 is ON,
At other times, the TV 21 power is off.
It is detected that they are F, and they are also recorded in the first recording means 23. Further, the refrigerator door opening / closing detecting means 9 is set between 8 am to 8:10 am and 11 am to 11 am
During the period up to 10 minutes, it is detected that the door of the refrigerator 22 has been repeatedly opened and closed, and for the other time zones, it is detected that the door is closed, and they are the second pattern. Is recorded in the first recording means 23 as a part of.

As described above, the second pattern is
It is an averaged device operation pattern for July 1998.

Next, the operation of the action determining apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention after the first pattern and the second pattern are recorded in the first recording means 23 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. For convenience of explanation, the operation of the behavior determination device of the first embodiment on July 22, 1999 will be described.

On July 22, the resident's behavior was CC
D camera 1a, CCD camera 1b, infrared sensor 2, in-bed sensor 3, air quality sensor 4, toilet sensor 5, and P
Each detected data detected by IT11 is input to the determination means 24 shown in FIG. 2 (step 1). Also,
Information of the person carrying the PIT 11 identified by the transmitting / receiving means 12 is also input to the determining means 24 (step 1).

Further, the opening / closing operation of the windows 19 and 20, the ON / OFF operation of the power supply of the TV 21 and the opening / closing operation of the door of the refrigerator 22 on July 22 are performed by the window opening / closing detecting means 6 and 7, the TV power supply is turned ON. The detection data is detected by each of the / OFF detection means 8 and the refrigerator door opening / closing detection means 9, and each detection data is input to the determination means 24 (step 2).

Incidentally, each data inputted to the judging means 24 is also inputted to the second recording means 27 to be recorded and temporarily stored.

Next, the judging means 24 is the first recording means 23.
The first pattern and the second pattern recorded in are also input (steps 3 and 4), and whether or not the resident's behavior matches the first pattern within a predetermined time and within a predetermined action range. Is determined (step 5). Similarly, the determination means 24 determines that the operation of the device is within a predetermined time with the second pattern,
Further, it is determined whether or not they match within a predetermined operation range (step 6). The determination result determined by the determination unit 24 indicates that the resident's behavior does not match the first pattern within a predetermined time or within a predetermined behavior range, or the operation of the device is the second pattern. If they do not match within a predetermined time or within a predetermined operating range, the output means 25 outputs a warning (step 7).
The first embodiment after the output means 25 outputs a warning
The operation of the behavior determination device will be described with a specific example described below.

Explaining with a concrete example, it is assumed that the resident will go to the hospital once a week from 22nd July on the same day of the week and will go out at 9:00 am due to the visit. To do. Therefore, it is assumed that the resident enters the kitchen 14 at 8 am, prepares a meal, finishes the breakfast at 8:30, and enters the living room 15. Further, the resident is assumed to have opened and closed the refrigerator 22 intermittently from 8:00 to 8:10. At this time, focusing on the operation of the device from 8 am to 9 am, the actual operation of the device detected by the refrigerator door opening / closing detection means 9 is the first recording means 2
Since it matches the second pattern recorded in No. 3,
The determining unit 24 determines that the operation of the device matches the second pattern. Therefore, the output means 25 does not output a warning.

On the other hand, paying attention to the behavior of the resident from the same 8:00 am to 9:00 am, the actual behavior of the resident does not match the first pattern recorded in the first recording means 23. The determination means 24 determines that the actual behavior of the occupant detected by the CCD camera 1a or the like does not match the first pattern. Therefore, the output means 25 outputs a warning to the PIT 11 and the speaker 13. The output unit 25 sends a warning to the PIT 11 by radio waves. Then, the PIT 11 receives a warning by radio waves, emits sound, vibration, and light based on the warning, and notifies the resident of the warning. Also, the speaker 1
3 emits a warning sound. When so warned, the resident will stop the warning.

Furthermore, from July 22, the resident will go to the hospital once a week at the same time on the same day,
The behavior on the day of going to hospital is different from the first pattern, and the behavior of the device that operates according to the behavior of the resident is also different from the second pattern. It is assumed that the user wants to record the operation as a new pattern in the first recording unit 23. In that case, the resident inputs an instruction to the PIT 11 to additionally record the action on 22nd July and the action of the device in the first recording unit 23 as a new pattern. The PIT 11 receives the instruction received from the resident and inputs the instruction 2 of the managing means 10 by radio waves.
6, the input means 26 inputs the instruction of the resident transmitted from the PIT 11 (step 8), and the learning means 28.
Output to.

By the way, as described above, since the second recording means 27 temporarily records the behavior of the resident and the operation of the equipment on July 22, the learning means 28 is input by the input means 26. Based on the instruction of the resident, the behavior of the resident and the operation of the device which are temporarily recorded in the second recording means 27 are additionally recorded in the first recording means 23 as a part of a new pattern (step 9). In addition, the learning unit 28 temporarily records the behavior of the resident and the operation of the device on July 22 after the input unit 26 inputs the resident's instruction in the second recording unit 27, and then a new pattern. The first recording means 23 as the remainder of
To record in sequence.

As described above, the resident's response to the warning is input to the input means 26, and a new pattern is controlled based on the response so as to be recorded in the first recording means 23. No warning is issued even if the behavior of the resident on July 22 after inputting the response does not substantially match the first pattern, and a new pattern is additionally recorded in the first recording means 23. After that, specifically, after July 23, if the resident performs substantially the same behavior as that of July 22, no warning is issued.

In the first embodiment, when the detected behavior of the resident and the corresponding behavior of the first pattern differ only within the time range of 10 minutes, the detected behavior of the resident is: It is assumed that the pattern matches the first pattern.

Further, in the above description, a warning is issued because the actual behavior of the resident does not match the first pattern, and in response to that, the input means 26 receives a radio wave from the PIT 11 in July. It is assumed that an instruction to record the behavior and the operation of the device on the 22nd as a new pattern in the first recording unit 23 is input. However,
The resident's response input by the input means 26 is the portion of the behavior and the operation of the device on July 22 from 8 am to 1 pm, and the first pattern and / or the second pattern from 8 am to 1 pm It may be an instruction to replace the part up to the time and record it in the first recording means 23. In addition, the resident's response input by the input means 26 is the first recording means 2
The first pattern and the second pattern recorded in No. 3 are deleted, and the action on 22nd July and the action of the device are first set as a new first pattern or a second pattern, respectively.
It may be an instruction for recording in the recording means 23.
In any case, the learning unit 28 controls the operations of the first recording unit 23 and the second recording unit 27 based on the response input by the input unit 26.

In the above description, the warning is issued because the actual behavior of the resident does not match the first pattern, but the actual operation of the device does not match the second pattern. In some cases a warning is issued. Even in that case, the resident responds to the warning and the input means 26 inputs the response. Then, based on the response, the learning unit 28 controls the operations of the first recording unit 23 and the second recording unit 27 as described above.

As described above, in the action determining apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the pattern recorded in advance in the first recording means 23 and the actual action of the target person or the action of the device are substantially the same. When the above does not match, a warning can be output and the subject's response to the warning can be input. In addition, based on the response, the behavior of the target person or the operation of the device that does not substantially match the pattern are additionally recorded in the first recording unit 23 as a new pattern or already recorded in the first recording unit 23. All or part of the existing pattern is recorded in the first recording means 23.

In the first embodiment described above, a case has been described in which the respective constituent means of the behavior determination device are arranged in respective places of the house, etc., but the respective constituent means of the behavior determination device are:
It is not limited to be arranged only in each place of the house, and may be arranged in, for example, a hospital or a nursing home. In that case, when the pattern recorded in the first recording unit 23 does not substantially match the actual behavior of the target person or the operation of the device, the output unit 25 outputs the information to that effect to the hospital. It is also possible to notify the management department such as a nurse's office directly or through another device. By doing so, a manager such as a nurse can grasp the behavior of the target person more accurately.

In addition, although there are many subjects in hospitals and nursing homes, each subject is unique to the subject who is carried, like the second transmitting / receiving means provided in the PIT 11 described above. And a transmitting means for transmitting an identification number for identifying the target person by radio waves, or the above-mentioned PIT
When 11 is carried, it is specified who the person detected by the detecting means for detecting the action of the person such as an infrared sensor is. Note that, for example, when the target person lives alone and each component of the behavior determination device is installed in the person's house, there is only one target person, so P
It is not necessary for the IT 11 to be equipped with a means for identifying the person carrying the PIT 11. Further, in that case, the output means 25 outputs the information to a management center or the like outside the house for caring for the target person such as a public welfare facility. Behavior will be managed.

Further, in the above-mentioned first embodiment, as an example of the detecting means of the action judging apparatus of the present invention of claim 1, C
Although the CD cameras 1a and 1b, the infrared sensor 2, the in-bed sensor 3, the air quality sensor 4, the toilet sensor 5, the PIT 11, and the transmitting / receiving means 12 are used, the detecting means of the action determining apparatus of the present invention according to claim 1 is: The invention is not limited to the CCD camera 1 and the infrared sensor 2 described above. The detection means only needs to detect the behavior of the target person. In addition, as the behavior of the target person, the posture, the moving state, and the activity amount of the target person also apply. They are detected by PIT11.

Further, in the above-mentioned first embodiment, as an example of the detecting means of the action determining apparatus of the present invention according to claim 2, window opening / closing detecting means 6 and 7, TV power ON / OFF detecting means 8 and refrigerator door. Although the opening / closing detection means 9 is used, the detection means of the behavior determination device of the present invention according to claim 2 is the window opening / closing detection means 6 or the TV power ON / OFF detection means 8 described above.
Not limited to The detection means only needs to detect the operation of a predetermined device.

In the first embodiment described above, the resident inputs the response to the warning to the PIT 11 and the input means 26 inputs the resident's response from the PIT 11 by radio waves. The input means 26 may input the response of the resident through the dedicated response input device, or may directly input the response of the resident through the dedicated response input device. In short, the input means 26 need only input the resident's response.

Further, in the above-mentioned first embodiment, the PIT
11 receives the predetermined instruction from the transmission / reception means 12, and transmits an identification number for identifying the person carrying the PIT 11 by radio waves. However, the transmission means such as the PIT 11 transmits each resident to each resident. The identification number for identification may be transmitted by radio waves periodically or irregularly regardless of whether or not a predetermined instruction from the transmitting / receiving means 12 is received.

In the first embodiment described above, the transmitting / receiving means 12 identifies the person carrying the PIT 11, but the CCD cameras 1a, 1b, the infrared sensor 2,
All or part of the in-bed sensor 3, the air quality sensor 4, and the toilet sensor 5 have a function of identifying a person carrying the PIT 11, and using the identification number by the radio wave from the PIT 11, The person carrying the PIT 11 may be identified.

Further, in the above-described first embodiment, the first recording means 23 records the first pattern and the second pattern, but the first recording means 23 records the behavior pattern of the subject. It is only necessary to record one or a plurality of device operation patterns. Further, as an alternative to the first recording means 23, a means for recording only one or a plurality of patterns of the behavior of the target person and a means for recording only one or a plurality of patterns of operation of the equipment. You may use. In addition, the first recording means 23 described above is
It is not limited to record the averaging pattern for each month of 998 in one year, and detection data for only one day may be recorded as a pattern, or detection data for one month may be recorded. May be recorded as a pattern. Alternatively, the averaged detection data for January may be recorded as a pattern. In short, it suffices that the means for recording one or more patterns of the behavior of the subject and the means for recording one or more patterns of the operation of the device are provided.

Further, the judging means 24 is the first recording means 23.
One or more action patterns recorded by
It suffices to compare the actual behavior of the target person and determine whether the actual behavior of the target person substantially matches any of the patterns of the behavior of the target person. The determining unit 24 compares the operation pattern of one or a plurality of devices recorded by the first recording unit 23 with the actual operation of the device, and the actual operation of the device is the operation of the device. It is only necessary to determine whether or not it substantially matches any one of the patterns.

The above-mentioned substantially coincidence is, for example, 1
If the behavior of the target person or the behavior of the device matches the pattern within a predetermined time range such as 0 minutes or less, both the behavior of the subject standing in the kitchen 14 and the behavior of crouching are both targets. Since the persons are the same in that they are in the kitchen 14, the behavior of the subject and the movement of the device match the pattern within such a predetermined action range of the target person and within a predetermined movement range of the device. Means the case.

In addition, in the above-described first embodiment, when the determination means 24 determines that the behavior of the resident does not substantially match the first pattern, the speaker 13 is used.
Although the warning sound is emitted by the above, a warning lamp that displays a warning by an optical signal may be used instead of the speaker 13.
In short, if the determination unit 24 determines that the behavior of the resident or the operation of the device does not substantially match any of the patterns recorded in the first recording unit 23, as long as the warning is output. Good.

In the first embodiment described above, the determining means 24 determines whether the behavior of the subject substantially matches any of the patterns recorded in the first recording means 23, or The determination means 2 determines whether the operation of the device substantially matches any one of the patterns recorded in the first recording means 23.
4 is any one of the patterns in which the combination of the behavior of the target person, the operation of the device, the physiological state of the target person, and all or part of the psychological state of the target person is recorded in the first recording unit 23. It may be determined whether or not they substantially match. In that case, the pattern recorded in the first recording unit 23 is a combination pattern of the behavior of the target person, the operation of the device, the physiological state of the target person, and all or part of the psychological state of the target person. There must be. In addition, detection means for detecting the physiological state of the subject and / or the psychological state of the subject must be provided.

As means for detecting the physiological condition of the subject,
For example, a thermometer that measures the body temperature of the subject, a sweat rate meter that measures the amount of sweat of the subject, or a heart rate meter that measures the heart rate of the subject can be used. As mentioned above, P
Since the IT 11 has a built-in function capable of detecting the physiological condition of the wearer's heartbeat, body temperature, etc., its PI
At T11, physiological information such as the heart rate and body temperature of the subject may be transmitted by radio waves periodically or irregularly, and the transmitting / receiving unit 12 may receive the radio waves. And
The determination means 24 is made to input the physiological information. Note that the physiological information is determined by the determination means 24 by the subject himself or his caregiver.
May be directly input to. Further, as a means for detecting the psychological state of the subject, all or part of the above-mentioned thermometer, sweat rate meter and heart rate monitor, and a psychological state for determining a change in the psychological state from changes in body temperature, sweat rate and heart rate. A judgment means or the like can be used.

In this way, each of the detecting means is caused to detect the behavior of the subject, the operation of the device, the physiological state of the subject, and all or part of the psychological state of the subject, and the action of the subject. A combination of the operation of the device, the physiological state of the target person, and all or part of the psychological state of the target person is recorded in the first recording unit 23 in advance as a pattern.
Then, whether the actual behavior of the target person, the combination of the operation of the device, the physiological state of the target person, and all or a part of the psychological state of the target person and the pattern are substantially coincident with each other are determined by the determination means 24. It may be determined whether or not. If the result of the determination is that they do not match, the output means 25 outputs a warning. Then, the input means 26 inputs a response from the subject to the warning.

The second recording means 27 temporarily records the detected combination of the behavior of the subject, the operation of the device, the physiological state of the subject, and all or part of the psychological state of the subject. In other words, it is possible to additionally record a new pattern in the first recording means 23 according to the content of the response input to the input means 26, or to change all or a part of the already recorded pattern. You can also

The detecting means for detecting the physiological state of the subject and / or the psychological state of the subject is the same as the CCD camera 1, the infrared sensor 2, the in-bed sensor 3, the air quality sensor 4, or the toilet sensor 5. In addition, even if the function of identifying the target person by using the information by the radio wave for identifying each target person and the function of detecting the physiological state and / or the psychological state of the person are set, Good. Also,
As described above, the PIT1 is an example of a detection unit that detects the physiological state of the subject and / or the psychological state of the subject.
1 can be used.

Further, all or some of the respective constituent elements of the behavior determining apparatus of the first embodiment described above may be hardware, or may be software having the same function as the corresponding function of the hardware. May be.

As can be seen by comparing FIG. 6 with FIG. 2, the configuration and operation of the management means 29 of the behavior determination device of the second embodiment are the same as the configuration of the management means 10 of the behavior determination device of the first embodiment. The behavior determination device of the second embodiment is the same as the behavior determination device of the first embodiment, except for the differences from the above-described actions and operations. Therefore, the operation of the behavior determination device of the second embodiment will be described below. The differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

Next, the operation of the action determining apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the judging means 24 includes the CCD cameras 1a and 1b, the infrared sensor 2, the floor sensor 3, the air quality sensor 4, the toilet sensor 5, the PIT 11, and the transmitting / receiving means. It is determined whether or not the behavior of the resident detected by 12 and the first pattern recorded in the first recording means 23 substantially match, and the window opening / closing detection means 6 and 7, the TV power source.

It is determined whether or not each operation of the ON / OFF operation of the power supply No. 1 and the opening / closing operation of the door of the refrigerator 22 and the second pattern recorded in the first recording unit 23 substantially match.

On the other hand, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the determining means 32 records the correct behavior of the resident identified by the identifying means 31 and the first recording means 30. It is determined whether or not the pattern substantially matches. That is, the first recording means 30 records the accurate behavior pattern of the resident, and the identifying means 3
1 specifies the resident's exact behavior.

Therefore, first, the correct behavior pattern of the resident recorded in the first recording means 30 will be described. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that a part of the accurate behavior pattern of the resident recorded in the first recording unit 30 is the pattern shown in FIG. 7. The pattern shown in FIG. 7 corresponds to FIGS. 3 and 4 used in the first embodiment, and the pattern of the resident identified from the behavior of the person in FIG. 3 and the operation of the device in FIG. It is an accurate pattern of behavior.

Explaining the contents of the pattern in order, 8 am
From the time until 9:30, a person is supposed to be in the kitchen according to the behavior of the person in FIG.
Since the refrigerator door will open and close intermittently for 10 minutes from the time, the pattern from 8:00 to 9:30 is
It becomes a pattern of "dining in the kitchen". next,
From 9:30 to 11:00, the person is supposed to be in the living room according to the behavior of FIG. 3, and the TV is turned on by the operation of the device of FIG.
The pattern from 0 minutes to 11:00 is the pattern of "watching TV in the living room".

Next, from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm,
The person's action in FIG. 3 means that the person is in the kitchen, and the operation of the equipment in FIG. 4 means that the refrigerator door is opened and closed intermittently from 11:00 to 10 minutes. The pattern up to that time is the pattern of eating at the kitchen. Next, from 12:00 to 2:00 pm, the person in FIG. 3 is supposed to be in the living room according to the person's actions, and in the operation of the device in FIG. 4, from 12:00 to 1:30 on the TV. Is turned on, 1
The window 20 is supposed to open from 30:30 to 2:00, so the pattern from 12:00 to 1:30 is:
The pattern "watching TV in the living room" is the pattern from 1:30 to 2:00 is the pattern "resting in the living room". Finally, from 2 pm to 3 pm, the person's behavior in FIG. 3 is that a person is in bed, so the pattern from 2 pm to 3 pm is "sleep in bed." It becomes a pattern.

Next, the operation of the behavior determining apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention after the accurate behavior pattern of the resident is recorded in the first recording means 30 will be described. For convenience of explanation,
As in the case of the first embodiment, the operation of the behavior determination device of the second embodiment on July 22, 1999 will be described.

As described in the first embodiment, the behavior of the resident on July 22 is the CCD camera 1a, CCD.
The detection data is detected by the camera 1b, the infrared sensor 2, the in-bed sensor 3, the air quality sensor 4, the toilet sensor 5, and the PIT 11, and each detection data is input to the specifying unit 31 shown in FIG. In addition, identified by the transmitting and receiving means 12,
Information of the person who carries the PIT 11 is also input to the identifying unit 31.

On July 22, the windows 19 and 20 are opened / closed, the power of the TV 21 is turned on / off, and the door of the refrigerator 22 is opened / closed. The detection data is detected by each of the / OFF detection means 8 and the refrigerator door opening / closing detection means 9, and each detection data is input to the specifying means 31.

The identifying means 31 identifies the resident's accurate behavior based on each input detection data. The identified accurate behavior of the resident is input to the second recording means 35, recorded and temporarily stored.

Next, the judging means 32 determines the accurate behavior of the resident, which is specified by the specifying means 31, within the predetermined time and the pattern recorded in the first recording means 30, and within a predetermined action range. It is determined whether or not they match. And
When the determination result indicates that the resident's correct action does not match the pattern within a predetermined time or within a predetermined action range, the output unit 33 outputs a warning.

A specific example will be described. First Embodiment
Similarly, the resident will be visiting the hospital once a week from July 22 on the same day of the week, and due to that visit, 9 am
Suppose you decide to go out from time to time. Therefore, it is assumed that the resident enters the kitchen 14 at 8 am, prepares a meal, finishes the breakfast at 8:30, and enters the living room 15. It is assumed that the resident intermittently opens and closes the refrigerator 22 from 8:00 to 8:10 and watches the television 21 from 8:30 to 10 minutes.

At this time, the specifying means 31 is 8:00 am based on the behavior of the resident detected by the CCD camera 1a and the like and the opening / closing operation of the door of the refrigerator 22 detected by the refrigerator door opening / closing detection means 9. From 8:30 to 8:30, the resident is identified as having a "meal in the kitchen", and the resident's behavior detected by the CCD camera 1b and the TV power ON / OFF detection means 8 are detected. Based on the detection data that the power of the television 21 is ON, the resident specifies that the resident is "watching television in the living room" from 8:30 to 8:40.

In this case, the determination means 32 is the identification means 31.
The accurate behavior of the resident identified by the first recording means 3
It is determined that the pattern does not match the pattern recorded in 0. Then, the output unit 33 outputs a warning to the PIT 11 and the speaker 13. The output means 33 uses P
A warning is transmitted to the IT 11 by radio waves.
The PIT 11 receives a warning by radio waves, emits sound, vibration and light based on the warning, and notifies the resident of the warning. Further, the speaker 13 emits a warning sound. When so warned, the resident will stop the warning.

Here, as described above, the resident is on July 22nd.
Residents will be required to update their accurate behavior on July 22 as they will go to the hospital once a week from the day on the same day of the week and the exact behavior on that day will differ from the pattern. Suppose that the user wants to record in the first recording means 30 as such a pattern. In that case, the resident will need to add 7 to PIT11.
An instruction for additionally recording the correct action on the 22nd of the month as a new pattern in the first recording means 30 is input. PI
T11 transmits the instruction accepted from the resident to the input means 34 of the management means 29 by radio wave, and the input means 34
The resident instruction transmitted from the PIT 11 is input and output to the learning means 36.

By the way, as described above, since the second recording means 35 temporarily records the accurate behavior of the resident on July 22 specified by the specifying means 31, the learning means 36 uses the input means. Based on the resident's instruction input by 34, the correct behavior of the resident temporarily recorded in the second recording means 35 is additionally recorded in the first recording means 30 as a part of a new pattern. The learning unit 36 also causes the first recording unit 30 to sequentially record the correct behavior of the resident on July 22 after the input unit 34 inputs the instruction of the resident, as the remaining part of the new pattern.

As described above, since the resident's response to the warning is input to the input means 34 and a new pattern is controlled to be recorded in the first recording means 30 based on the response, the input means 34 is controlled. No warning is given if the correct behavior of the resident on 22 July after entering a response and the pattern do not substantially match, and the first recording means 30
After a new pattern is additionally recorded in,
If, after the 23rd of the month, the resident acts substantially the same as the 22nd of July, no warning will be issued.

The resident's response input by the input means 34 is from 8 am to 1 pm of the correct action on July 22.
The part up to the hour may be replaced with the part from 8 am to 1 pm of the pattern, and may be an instruction for recording in the first recording means 30. Further, the resident's response input by the input means 34 is such that the pattern recorded in the first recording means 30 is deleted and the correct action on July 22 is recorded as a new pattern in the first recording means 30. The instruction may be an instruction to make it occur. In any case, based on the response input by the input means 34, the learning means 36 causes the first recording means 30 to operate.
And the operation of the second recording means 35 is controlled.

As described above, in the action determining apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the pattern previously recorded in the first recording means 30 and the correct action of the subject are substantially the same. If not, a warning can be output and the subject's response to the warning can be input. Further, based on the response, the correct behavior of the subject who does not substantially match the pattern is additionally recorded in the first recording unit 30 as a new pattern, or already recorded in the first recording unit 30. All or part of the pattern is replaced and recorded in the first recording means 30.

The first recording means 30 of the above-described second embodiment only needs to record one or a plurality of accurate behavior patterns of the subject. Also, the determination means 3
2 is only required to determine whether or not one or a plurality of patterns recorded by the first recording unit 30 and the correct action identified by the identifying unit 31 substantially match. Good.

Therefore, the accurate behavior pattern of the subject recorded in the first recording means 30 during a certain time period is a pattern of sleeping in a bed in a quiet situation without playing music. , In fact, if you were sleeping in bed with the audio on during that time, the identification means 31
