Description

  The present invention relates to an emergency device installation case and its management system, and more particularly to an emergency device installation case suitable for management of an emergency device installed in a public place and its management system.

  There are various devices used in an emergency, and for example, a defibrillator is one of them. A defibrillator (see, for example, Patent Document 1) is an apparatus used for a heart in a state where rhythm is irregular and rapid (fibrillation) due to, for example, myocardial infarction. The purpose is to remove fibrillation and normalize rhythm by giving a shock.

  Conventionally, defibrillators are limited to doctors or qualified personnel such as nurses and emergency medical technicians who perform treatment based on doctor's instructions, and other persons are prohibited from using them. However, due to recent deregulation, the use of general external defibrillators (AED: Automated External Defibrillator) among the defibrillators has been approved. AEDs are being installed in public facilities such as airports, stations, and halls.

JP-A-8-168536

  However, if placed in a public place, there is a possibility of being damaged by mischief or theft. In addition, it is not desirable that a normal operation cannot be performed due to, for example, a shortage of battery when a situation to be used is reached. Therefore, a housing (installation housing) for installing the AED and a management system for remotely grasping the status of the installed AED are necessary.

  In general, as a method for remotely detecting the status of a device, a function for communicating with an external device is added to the device, information about the device is periodically acquired from the management center, or a notification is given to the management center when the device itself detects an abnormality. How to do is known. However, the AED is usually battery-powered and placed in a carrying case so that it can be carried immediately when in use. And a power cord, a communication cable, etc. are not connected.

  Furthermore, it is necessary to reduce standby power as much as possible and maintain power required for use over a long period of time. Therefore, it is preferable not to perform communication with an external device from the viewpoint of reducing standby power.

  In addition, although AED is designed to be easy to use even for people with poor medical knowledge, it is a medical device used for the heart, and it has never been used at all. On the other hand, the hurdle of using AED is considered to be very high.

  However, situations that simply wait for the arrival of an ambulance team without using an AED are undesirable for patients in critical situations. Therefore, it is desirable to provide guidance on how to use it at the time of use, and to educate about the purpose of use of the AED and the ease of use.

  Further, not only the AED but the emergency device has a similar problem because it is a device that is not normally used. For example, fire extinguishers are one of the most commonly used emergency devices, but few people have actually used a fire extinguisher. In addition, fire extinguishers have an expiration date, but few people are aware of it. Furthermore, if it is used for mischief or the like, it may become impossible to use in an emergency.

It is possible to communicate with the installation housing 200 via a computer network or a public telephone network using a modem, TA, or the like connected via the network. The communication between the management station 100 and the installation housing 200 is not limited to wired communication, and a wireless section may exist at least in part of the route. When the management station 100 performs wireless communication, a wireless LAN interface compliant with a standard such as IEEE 802.11x, a PHS communication card, or the like may be provided.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically illustrating a configuration example of the installation housing 200. The installation housing 200 has a box shape and is configured such that the front door is opened and closed. And AED300 is installed and stored inside.

  A display device 250 typified by an LCD, a speaker 260 and a microphone 270 are provided on the front upper portion of the installation housing 200. The display device 250 is provided with a touch panel as an input device. In addition, it is also possible to provide other input devices such as keys and buttons as the input device in combination or in place of the touch panel.

  Inside the installation case 200, a control unit 220 for realizing the operations described below, including monitoring of the inside of the case and the AED 300, and a communication unit that is an interface for performing communication with the management station 100 210, a storage unit 240, for example, a hard disk drive, and various sensors 230 are incorporated.

  The installation housing 200 can also be realized by using a computer device having a configuration as shown in FIG. In this case, the control unit 220 is realized by the CPU 105, the ROM 106, and the RAM 107, the display device 250 is realized by the display 101, the CRTC 102, the keyboard 103, and the pointing device 104, the storage unit 240 is realized by the HDD 108 and the RMD 109, and the communication unit 210 is realized by the network interface 111. The The various sensors 230 are connected via an expansion slot 110 or a serial interface such as USB or IEEE1394.

The control unit 220 monitors the inputs of the various sensors 230 and executes a predetermined operation according to the type of sensor and the input type. In this embodiment, as specific examples of the various sensors 230, (1) a temperature sensor 230a in the housing
(2) Interpersonal sensor 230b
(3) Door open / close sensor 230c
(4) AED removal sensor 230d
(5) AED state sensor 230e
(6) Enclosure monitoring camera 230f
Is provided.

  The in-casing temperature sensor 230a detects the temperature in the casing. For example, when the temperature of the AED 300 is not favorable for the operation of the AED 300 or the battery depending on the season or time of the installation environment (high temperature or low temperature), the fan or heater (not shown) is controlled to an appropriate temperature range. Can be controlled to maintain.

  The interpersonal sensor 230b is composed of, for example, a combination of an infrared light emitting element and an infrared sensor, and a person is placed in front of the installation housing 200 depending on the time until the reflected light of the pulsed infrared light emitted substantially in front of the installation housing 200 arrives. It is to determine whether or not. In other words, if the time until the reflected light arrives continues for a period of time shorter than the predetermined time, it is determined that there is a person in front and that the person has stopped.

  The door opening / closing sensor 230c is a sensor that detects opening / closing of the door 201 of the installation housing 200. For example, the door opening / closing sensor 230c is a switch that is conductive when the door is closed and non-conductive when the door is open. Note that the installation housing 200 of the present embodiment is formed such that door locking and unlocking can be performed by controlling the installation housing 200 itself or by an instruction from the management station 100, as will be described later.

  The AED take-out sensor 230d is composed of, for example, a combination of a light emitting element that emits light to a position where the AED device is placed and a light receiving element for reflected light. However, in the case of the AED take-out sensor 230d, unlike the interpersonal sensor 230b, it is considered that the AED 300 is moved when the time until the reflected light reaches has become long (or the light cannot be received). Further, it may be determined whether the AED 300 is taken out together with the state of the door opening / closing sensor 230c. In addition to the sensor using light, the AED take-out sensor 230d may be a sensor that detects whether the AED 300 is in the housing based on the presence or absence of the weight of the AED 300.

  The AED state sensor 230e is provided to detect the operation state of the AED 300 from the outside. As described above, the AED 300 is a medical device that cannot be connected to an external device from the viewpoint of safety and from the viewpoint of maintaining a state where it can operate for a long period (for example, several years) while saving battery power. There are many. Further, since it is a device used for emergency, it is not preferable that an operation such as disconnecting a connection cable with an external device is necessary at the time of take-out, and connection with an external device is not good.

  Therefore, it is required to be able to indirectly grasp the state of the AED 300 from the outside. In this embodiment, the AED 300 generally has a self-test function, and when an abnormality is detected, the AED 300 is detected by using the point of displaying an operation state indicating that fact and detecting the contents of the operation state display. It is characterized in that the state of is indirectly determined.

  However, as described above, the AED 300 displays an operation state using a display that does not emit light by itself in order to save power consumption. Therefore, the AED state sensor 230e determines the display content of the state indicator of the AED 300 through a window provided in the case that houses the AED 300.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of such an AED 300, and shows a state where the AED device 320 is housed in the case 310 and placed at a predetermined position in the installation housing 200. The AED device 320 is provided with a display 330 for displaying an operation state, and a window 305 is provided at a position corresponding to the display 330 of the case 310 except for a substantially transparent material.

  For example, in the AED 300, it is assumed that a display that displays a normal operation state by changing and displaying density patterns as shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B in a predetermined cycle is used. In this case, as shown in FIG. 9B, which is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA ′ of FIG. By determining the amount of received light by the control unit 220, the amount of reflected light of at least one of the two points A and B is discriminated, and the state of FIG. 10A and the state of FIG. 10B are distinguished. Can do. The AED 300 is held at a predetermined position inside the installation housing 200 by the positioning member 302 so that the positional relationship between the state sensor 230d and the AED 300 is not shifted.

  At this time, in order to improve the recognition performance, when the installation housing 200 is installed, a learning period of several times the display state switching time is provided to check the minimum and maximum values of the switching time, and the median value thereof Is the threshold for recognition. Thereby, the influence of the dispersion | variation in the performance of a light emitting element and a light receiving element can be suppressed to the minimum. When the change time of the density pattern shows a significant change from the initial learning time, the minimum value, the maximum value, and the threshold value are updated. When the updated value changes significantly from the preset normal range, it is determined that the operation of the AED 300 is abnormal, and the control unit 220 is notified.

  Note that when a display device that indicates a normal operation state by color switching is used instead of a single color density pattern, a color filter corresponding to each display color is passed through as shown in FIG. By using two light receiving elements that receive the reflected light, a change in display state can be detected. Normality / abnormality determination from the detected state is common to the case of the density pattern.

  In addition to the combination of the light emitting element and the light receiving element, the state of the emergency device can be determined from the outside in a non-contact manner by various methods. For example, the window 305 can be photographed from the outside by a camera using a CCD sensor or a CMOS sensor, and the state of the display can be determined by analyzing the photographed image to determine normality or abnormality.

When it is necessary to allow viewing the viewing window 305 from the outside of the installation housing 200, the door of the installation housing 200 may be provided a window at a position corresponding to the observation window 305. Further, in this case, it is desirable that a mechanism for automatic detection, such as a light emitting element, a light receiving element, and a camera, be arranged at a position that does not interfere with the confirmation of the state of the window 305 except from the outside of the installation housing 200.

In the case of a combination of a light emitting element and a light receiving element, the irradiation angle and the light receiving angle are adjusted so that the light emitting element and the light receiving element cannot be seen from the door window. When a camera is used, a half mirror, a prism, or the like is used, and the window 305 can be visually recognized except from the window of the door, and the camera takes an image of the window 305 except for being reflected by the half mirror (or refracted by the prism). In this way, the camera can be arranged so as not to interfere with the confirmation from the door window. Specifically, the half mirror is arranged so as to have a cross-sectional shape of “/” when viewed in the direction of FIG. 9B, and (external) → / → (excluding window) and excluding window 305 are transparent from the outside. So that the camera can be seen, and the camera is positioned so
/ → (except windows)
↑
(camera)
And the window 305 may be photographed except for the reflection on the lower surface of the half mirror.

  The housing monitoring camera 230f is not a so-called sensor, but is handled as one of the sensors 230 from the viewpoint of monitoring the installation housing 200. The housing monitoring camera 230f is a video camera that is installed on, for example, the ceiling of a facility where the installation housing 200 is disposed, and photographs the entire installation housing 200 and its surroundings. The captured images are sequentially transmitted to the control unit 220 and sent to the management station 100 through the control unit 220 and the communication unit 210. When the capacity of the communication line between the installation housing 200 and the management station 100 is small or when it is desired to save the capacity, the video (30 frames / second) taken by the monitoring camera 230f is appropriately thinned and transmitted. May be.

Next, the overall operation of the installation housing 200 of the present embodiment will be described using the flowchart of FIG.
First, when the power is turned on, the control unit 220 performs initialization processing in the apparatus and establishes communication with the management station 100 (step S101). The initialization process includes, for example, a self-diagnosis operation including a memory check, reading of programs and various data, and the like. Communication establishment is performed according to the communication protocol with the management station 100. For example, when communication is performed using the Internet protocol, there are acquisition of an IP address, acquisition of the address of the management station 100, and the like. Of course, these IP addresses may be registered in advance as fixed addresses. When communication is performed via a telephone line, a connection is established by transmitting to the management station 100 using a modem.

  Next, the control unit 220 starts video playback using the display device 250 (also using the speaker 260 if necessary) (step S103). The video stored in the storage unit 240 in advance may be sequentially read and reproduced according to a predetermined time schedule, or the video data and schedule to be reproduced during standby may be acquired from the management station 100. Alternatively, the video data transmitted from the management station 100 may be simply displayed.

  The video to be played back here is an AED enlightenment, educational content, a commercial video based on a contract with a third party, or the like. In other words, the system administrator of the present embodiment can allow a third party to use each installation case 200 as a means for distributing information for a fee or free of charge.

  In order to install the AED in a public place, there are various incidental expenses such as administration costs and usage amount of the installation site, including the cost of the AED alone. For example, it is not easy for local governments to pay all of these costs, and this may be a factor that hinders the spread of AEDs. Therefore, it is important to be able to recover the initial cost by lending the function of the installation housing 200 to a third party for a fee. As a specific example, various information such as advertisements and town information is distributed using the display device 250, and the price is charged to an information provider such as an advertiser. The fee can be set according to the time zone and airing time, for example, as is done in television broadcasting.

  In step S <b> 105, the control unit 220 compresses and encodes an image captured by the monitoring camera 230 f and then starts transmission to the management station 100 through the communication unit 210. As a result, the user of the management station 100 can monitor the installation housing 200 and the surrounding environment with a substantially real-time video.

  In step S <b> 107, the control unit 220 confirms whether there is any instruction from the management station 100. Here, when an instruction from the management station 100 is detected, processing according to the instruction is performed (step S109). If no instruction is detected, the process proceeds to step S111.

Examples of the process performed in step S109 include the following processes.
・ Switching of video to be played back ・ Video playback program (time schedule) and / or video ・ Audio data update ・ Locking / unlocking of door ・ Output of sound from management station 100 from speaker 260 ・ Cooling fan (ventilation) Information on adjustment and operation status of fans and heaters, etc. ・ Update of operation programs and various data (contact phone number, e-mail address, etc.) of installation enclosure (control unit 220) ・ Restart and monitoring of installation enclosure Camera zoom, angle change

  In steps S111 to S117, the control unit 220 performs processing based on the state of the in-casing temperature sensor 230a, the interpersonal sensor 230b, the door sensor 230c, the AED removal sensor 230d, and the AED state sensor 230e.

Hereinafter, the processes performed in steps S111 to S117 will be sequentially described.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the in-casing temperature sensor process performed by the installation casing 200 of the present embodiment in step S111 of FIG.

  In step S210, the control unit 220 determines whether or not the temperature detected by the in-casing temperature sensor 230a has become an abnormal temperature outside a predetermined range. When the temperature becomes abnormal, the fact is notified to the management station 100 together with the measured temperature (step S212). Then, an air conditioner (not shown) (cooling / ventilation fan or heater) is operated, and control is started so that the temperature in the housing is in a range suitable for storage of the AED 300 (step S214).

  On the other hand, if the abnormal temperature is not reached in step S210, it is checked whether or not the abnormal temperature has returned to the normal range (step S216). This can be realized by checking whether or not the previous measurement value was in the abnormal range. When the abnormal temperature returns to the normal range, the management station 100 is notified of this (step S218), and the operation of the air conditioner is stopped (step S220). In step S216, if the normal range is maintained instead of returning from the abnormal range, the process ends without doing anything.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the interpersonal sensor process performed by the installation housing 200 of the present embodiment in step S113 of FIG.
In step S <b> 310, the control unit 220 checks whether the human sensor 230 b detects a situation in which a person seems to stop near the front of the installation housing 200. As described above, the interpersonal sensor 230b is one in which a person is stopped in front of the installation housing 200 when the time until the emitted light is reflected and returned is shorter than a predetermined time for a predetermined time. Is determined.

  If no person is detected in step S310, the process ends without doing anything. On the other hand, if it is detected, the management station 100 is notified of this (step S312). Then, preset questionnaire screen data is read from the storage unit 240 and displayed on the display device 250 (step S314).

  Although the questionnaire screen data is stored in advance in the storage unit 240 here, the questionnaire screen data may be transmitted from the management station 100. In this case, after notifying the management station 100 in step S312, the questionnaire screen data sent from the management station 100 is received and displayed. The questionnaire screen data is, for example, HTML data, and the control unit 220 interprets the HTML data in the same manner as the browser application and displays it on the display device 250.

  In step S316, the control unit 220 checks whether a valid answer is obtained for the questionnaire screen. Here, whether or not a valid answer has been obtained does not necessarily mean checking whether the value entered on the screen is valid (in the case of a form-type screen). For example, it may be checked whether a button for transmitting a questionnaire result in the questionnaire screen is pressed.

  If a valid answer is obtained, the process proceeds to step S318, and the obtained answer is transmitted to the management station 100. Then, the questionnaire screen is deleted, and the normal video reproduction is resumed (step S320). On the other hand, if a valid answer has not been obtained yet, it is checked whether or not the human detection state by the interpersonal sensor 230b is maintained (step S322). When the detection state is released (for example, when a person who has stopped in front of the casing 200 leaves the spot without answering the questionnaire), the management station 100 is notified of this, and step S320 is performed. Proceed to If the detection state is still maintained, the process returns to step S316.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining door sensor / AED removal sensor processing performed by the installation housing 200 of the present embodiment in step S115 of FIG.
In step S410, the control unit 220 checks the status of the door sensor and confirms whether the door is opened. If the door is not open, the process ends without doing anything. On the other hand, if the door is opened, the management station 100 is notified to that effect in step S412. At this point, it can be configured to send voice or text messages using telephone or email to pre-registered medical personnel (organizations) such as fire departments, emergency centers and doctors. Since there is a possibility, at this time, it is considered that at least the management station 100 should be notified. When there is a door open notification, the user of the management station 100 can determine from the video whether an emergency has occurred or not by checking the video of the monitoring camera 230f.

  In addition, when it is determined that it is necessary from the video of the monitoring camera 230f, a specific instruction (or a warning if it is mischief) is output by voice through the speaker 260 of the management housing 200 using a microphone or the like on the management station 100 side. You can also.

  In step S414, the control unit 220 outputs a voice message from the speaker 260, displays a message on the display device 250, or blinks the whole to notify that the door has been opened.

  Next, in step S416, it is checked based on the state of the AED state sensor 230e whether the AED 300 has been taken out. When the AED 300 is taken out, the management station 100 is notified to that effect (step S424). At this time, it is preferable to transmit a message by voice or text using telephone or email to not only the management station 100 but also medical personnel (organizations) registered in advance, such as a fire department, an emergency center, and a doctor. Voice messages and text messages used for these notifications can be stored in advance in the storage unit 240 together with destination information (telephone number, mail address, etc.).

  In step S426, the door opening notification continued from step S414 is stopped. In step S428, a guidance video explaining the use procedure of the AED is read from the storage unit 240, reproduction is started, and the process is ended. The guidance video may start playing automatically, but if the actual situation and the content being played are not engaged, a sufficient effect cannot be obtained, so it is configured to pause at an appropriate location. It is preferable. Then, in response to a playback start instruction from the touch panel provided on the display device 250, playback is started or restarted.

  Thereafter, while playing back the playback guidance video, for example, when audio is received from the management station 100, playback is performed from the speaker 260, or input audio from the microphone 270 is transmitted to the management station 100 in reverse. .

  Note that when exchanging voice between the management station 100 and the installation housing 200, communication conforming to a protocol such as VoIP may be performed, or a communication with the management station 100 may be performed separately from a data communication line. You may connect a telephone line between them. In this case, when the control unit 220 calls the telephone number stored in association with the management station 100 and the management station 100 responds, the speaker 260 and the microphone 270 may function in the same manner as a telephone handset.

  If the AED 300 has not been taken out in step S416, the door state is confirmed in step S418. If the door remains open, the process returns to step S416. If the door is closed, the management station 100 is notified of this (step S420), the door opening notification continued from step S414 is stopped, and the process is terminated.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the AED state sensor process performed by the installation housing 200 of the present embodiment in step S117 of FIG.
In step S610, the control unit 220 checks whether the AED state sensor 230e has detected an abnormal state of the AED 300. If no abnormal state is detected here, the process ends without doing anything.

  On the other hand, when an abnormal state is detected, this is notified to the management station 100 (step S612). At this time, it can be configured to notify a contractor, a person in charge, etc., who performs maintenance management of the AED. Voice messages and text messages used for these notifications can be stored in advance in the storage unit 240 together with destination information (telephone number, mail address, etc.).

  Next, in step S614, the control unit 220 notifies at least the display device 250 that the AED cannot be used. At this time, superimposition is performed on the video being reproduced and displayed (video reproduced in step S103 in FIG. 4 or a questionnaire screen in the interpersonal sensor process), or notification is made using only a part of the screen. In step S616, the door is locked, and the process ends. The door may be locked based on the determination by the control unit 220 or based on an instruction given from the management station 100 in response to the notification in step S612. The locked door can be unlocked by a repairer or the like.

  As described above, the AED management system according to the present embodiment has been described focusing on the installation housing 200. However, the system of the present embodiment is also characterized in that the management station 100 can perform monitoring, control and management of the plurality of installation housings 200 collectively. Thereby, it is possible to flexibly cope with increase / decrease and rearrangement of the installation housing 200.

  In addition, if the management station 100 collectively manages the video and audio to be played back and displayed in each installation case 200 during standby, and distributes them to the installation case 200 using a distribution technique such as streaming, the installation case will be described. Hardware resources required for the body 200 can be reduced, and the cost of the installation housing 200 can be reduced. When there are a plurality of installation cabinets 200 to which the same schedule is applied, it is not necessary to change the schedule for each installation cabinet 200, and the schedule change may be applied only by the management station 100.

  Further, in the description of step S109 in FIG. 4, as shown in the example of processing that can be instructed from the management station 100 to the installation housing 200, the management station 100 sends a specific (or all) installation housing 200 to Various instructions can be given to the user.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, various effects can be achieved, and some representative ones are as follows.

  First, a display device is provided in the installation housing 200 that houses the AED, and the enlightenment and usage of the AED are presented by video during standby. As a result, for example, a person who passes through the site can recognize that the AED is there, and can also recognize what kind of device it is. In addition, if the user is in contact with such an image from the usual time, it can be expected that the sense of resistance to using the AED in the event of an emergency will be reduced. In addition, since the guidance video regarding how to use the AED is presented when the AED is taken out, anxiety during use can be reduced, and erroneous use can be prevented.

Further, since the installation housing can be used as an information providing device or as a questionnaire collection means, it is possible to collect the installation cost of the installation housing.
In addition, since it is possible to detect the operating state of the AED without contact with the AED and without increasing the power consumption of the AED, there is no need to remove the cable when using the AED, and the battery driving time is shortened. I will not let you. Furthermore, when an abnormal state is detected, the door is locked and the AED cannot be taken out, so that an unusable device can be prevented from being taken out by mistake. In addition, when an abnormal state is detected, the service provider is immediately contacted, so that the period during which it cannot be used can be shortened to the maximum.

(Other embodiments)
As described above, the present invention can also be applied to an installation housing that houses an emergency device other than an AED. For example, when the present invention is applied to a case where a fire extinguisher is installed, the state of the fire extinguisher should be detected in a non-contact manner by taking a picture of the fire extinguisher itself or by taking a picture of the expiration date of the extinguisher Can do.

  It is also possible to play a video to educate people about how to use a fire extinguisher and what to do when a fire breaks out. When the fire extinguisher is taken out, it can be dealt with in the same manner as when the AED is taken out.

Moreover, it is preferable that an installation housing | casing is installed in many places. Therefore, if a part of the existing equipment can be used, it is preferable from the viewpoint that the initial cost can be reduced and the installation location can be easily secured.

For example, in recent years, vending machines such as beverages have a communication function, and send the quantity of articles stored in the apparatus, the operation state of the apparatus, etc. to the management apparatus to manage the apparatus and efficiently replenish articles. Realized. Therefore, by providing the installation casing of the present invention in a part of the casing of such a vending machine, it becomes possible to arrange the installation casing more closely, and the communication function that the vending machine originally has By using, the price of the installation housing can be reduced.
