Description

  The present invention mainly relates to a system capable of promptly detecting when a dementia patient or the like starts going out by wrinkles.

  In recent years, the number of elderly people with dementia has been increasing. The burden of care for the family is large every day, but in particular, Sakai is not only a family member, but also a local resident, local government, police, fire department, and a search involving a large number of people. Therefore, it is most important to be aware and protect immediately after starting a trap.

  For this reason, many systems have been proposed in which a monitored person who has a possibility of deceiving a terminal having wireless transmission capability is held and notified to the family when the deception is started. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a wrinkle monitoring system for a care facility that must manage a plurality of monitored subjects. In such a system, it is considered that a person to be monitored has a terminal corresponding to a wireless standard such as Bluetooth.

JP 2016-206893

  However, in the conventional method, even if you try to notify the mobile phone of a family member who lives with you, the mobile phone may actually be misplaced. is there.

  In addition, while conventional Bluetooth (registered trademark) requires pairing, there is a limit on the reach, so if you have a large home, such as a two-family house, you can move around the home by simply removing the pairing. In some cases, it was not possible to distinguish between cocoon and moth. Furthermore, since the power consumption of Bluetooth cannot be ignored, the possibility of the power being turned off unintentionally could not be ignored if it was left for a long time.

  Therefore, the present invention can cope with a case that cannot be covered by notification to a mobile phone in a home with a monitoring target person who may be hesitant, and can perform a more reliable warn warning. This is the first issue.

  Furthermore, as an expanded case, it is important to make it possible to more reliably detect the onset of drought even in a home that cannot be covered by just pairing with a single wireless receiver and terminal. Let's assume the second issue.

This invention
A first wireless reception unit that receives communication including the identification code from a wireless transmitter that can be held by the monitored person and periodically transmit a response signal including the identification code;
A monitoring target recording database for registering the identification code;
A video interface that outputs video to a connected display;
Have
Monitoring means for monitoring whether or not reception of the response signal including the identification code recorded in the monitoring target recording database is continued;
When it is detected by the monitoring means that reception of the response signal has been interrupted for a predetermined time T1 or more, alarm display means for outputting a warning display to the video interface;
The first problem is solved by the monitoring device that executes the above.

  There are no restrictions on the above display, but in actual operation, especially for large TVs placed in the living room, people are usually in front and the power is on for a long time, and the time when the cohabitant is watching the screen is long. When connected to a long display, it is most effective. In other words, by promptly and reliably displaying notifications on the TV in the living room where the family living with the longest stays for the longest time, watching a loud program and going down the door or the stairs Even if you do not notice the sound, you will be able to notice the occurrence of wrinkles on the screen display.

  The wireless transmitter and the monitoring device used for this have a wireless request unit that the monitoring device requests a response to the wireless transmitter, and the first wireless reception unit is requested by the wireless request unit. The received response signal is received. In addition, it is preferable to execute the determination by the monitoring means based on the presence / absence of a response signal that is responded to in response to the request, because the amount of power consumed by the wireless transmitter can be suppressed. As a standard that can make a response request in such a passive system, for example, BluetoothLE can be cited.

  However, the above monitoring apparatus is ideally placed in a living room where a television having the longest usage time is placed in the home. Then, particularly in a large home, the distance from the entrance may be increased, and the entrance and the corridor connected to the entrance may be out of the wireless communication area of the monitoring device. Then, even if it is a movement in the home, it may be excluded from the detection by the monitoring device, but there may be a case where it is not possible to distinguish between a case that has actually left the entrance and a case that only walks in the hallway.

In contrast, the present invention, in addition to the monitoring device,
An exit monitoring device having a second wireless reception unit for receiving communication including the identification code from the wireless transmitter, and capable of communicating with the monitoring device via an external network;
Management having a linkage database capable of communicating with the monitoring device and the exit monitoring device via an external network and registering the monitoring device, the exit monitoring device linked to the monitoring device, and the identification code as a set Server,
The second problem can be solved by executing a composite monitoring method as a monitoring system based on the above.

As the execution contents of the monitoring system and the monitoring method,
The monitoring device executes monitoring terminal notifying means for notifying the management server of the identification code whose continuation in the monitoring means is interrupted for a predetermined time T1 or more,
The exit monitoring device executes passing terminal notification means for transmitting the identification code included in the received response signal to the management server,
The management server is
For the identification code that has been notified that the continuation has been interrupted by the monitoring terminal notification means, when the identification code is received by the passing terminal notification means, the monitoring apparatus is notified of the start of the person being monitored. Execute outing detection notification means,
The monitoring device is
When the wrinkle start is received, a fist notification means for outputting a display to the effect that the wrinkle has been performed is executed on the video interface.

  By adopting the configuration of the present invention, even when living in a home with a large site, it is possible to promptly detect and search or contact the police or the like when the trap is started. In addition, not only an elderly person but also an infant can go out and hesitate to detect quickly.

Functional block diagram of the monitoring device according to the first embodiment of the present invention Functional block diagram of a wrinkle monitoring system according to the second embodiment of the present invention The flowchart which shows the example of an execution procedure of the wrinkle monitoring method in the wrinkle monitoring system of FIG.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail together with specific embodiments. The present invention is a monitoring device capable of promptly informing a living person when a monitored subject such as a dementia patient or an infant starts wrinkles, and a program for executing the monitoring device. Also, a monitoring method using the monitoring device, a monitoring system that executes the monitoring method, and a program that executes the monitoring system. The program is installed and executed on each device or server.

  A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the functional block diagram of FIG. The monitoring device 11 according to the present invention is a device that monitors that the wireless transmitter 1 is away from the direct communication range. The wireless transmitter 1 is held by a person to be monitored who has a possibility of flaws. Although not shown, the wireless transmitter 1 has a battery and can wirelessly transmit a response signal including a unique identification code for each wireless transmitter 1. . The communicable distance between the wireless transmitter 1 and the monitoring device 11 is preferably 5 meters or more. If the communicable distance is too short, even a slight movement of the monitored person will be out of the communication range, and the number of false judgments will increase. On the other hand, the communicable distance is preferably within 30 meters, and more preferably within 20 meters. If the reach distance is long, power is consumed correspondingly, and monitoring over a long period of time becomes difficult. Moreover, it is not preferable from the viewpoint of a radio license.

  The wireless transmitter 1 may periodically transmit a response signal including the identification code, but transmits the response signal in response to a response request from the wireless request unit 16 of the monitoring device 11 to be described later. It is particularly preferable that power consumption can be saved to transmit a signal. However, it is preferable that this request and a response to it be made periodically. An example of a standard that enables such a response is BluetoothLE. When BluetoothLE is used, the wireless transmitter 1 returns the response signal as a response to the request from the wireless request unit 16 as a server. As the identification code, a unique address can be used for each wireless device.

  The monitoring device 11 includes a first wireless reception unit 17 that receives the identification code from the wireless transmitter 1. This may be one that receives a response signal that the wireless transmitter 1 periodically transmits, but is not preferable in terms of power consumption of the wireless transmitter 1. In order to save power for holding the battery of the wireless transmitter 1 for a long period of time, the above identification code is used as a response signal only when a request is transmitted from the wireless request unit 16 of the monitoring device 11 to the wireless transmitter 1. It is better to reply. In this case, the wireless request unit 16 periodically transmits a request to the wireless transmitter 1, and the response is also periodically received by the first wireless reception unit 17.

  Note that the wireless request unit 16 and the first wireless reception unit 17 are connected to an antenna 19 corresponding to a standard such as the above-described Bluetooth LE, and may share the antenna 19 and a communication interface for managing them.

  The monitoring device 11 includes a monitoring target recording database 14 for registering the identification code of the wireless transmitter 1 that is a target for monitoring the bag. The control unit 13 of the monitoring device 11 provides an identification code registration means for registering this identification code. The contents of the identification code registration means are not particularly limited. For example, the pairing process may be performed directly with the wireless transmitter 1, or the unique address of the wireless transmitter 1 may be directly set from the remote controller or the like. It may be possible to input to. In any case, the person to be monitored is made to hold the wireless transmitter 1 in which the identification code is registered in the monitoring target record database 14.

  The monitoring device 11 includes a video interface 15 that outputs video to a connected display 21. Although the corresponding terminal and size of the display 21 to be connected are not particularly limited, a large television set installed in a living room of 32 inches or more is desirable in practice. When the monitoring device 11 detects wrinkles by an alarm display means to be described later, the monitoring device 11 displays the fact on the display 21. For this reason, the place where the display 21 is installed is a room where the resident has stayed for a long time, and it is desirable that the display 21 be immediately noticed by the resident after the display. Therefore, it is desirable that the power is always turned on, but it is more preferable that the display 21 can be turned on remotely by an instruction from the video interface 15 when the display 21 is not turned on.

  The monitoring device 11 monitors whether or not the reception of the response signal including the identification code recorded in the monitoring target recording database 14 is periodically continued after executing the identification code registration unit. Continue to execute monitoring means. This reception is performed by the first wireless receiver 17 and, while being continued, the monitored person holding the wireless transmitter 1 continues to exist in the communication range of the antenna 19 and is not hesitant. to decide. This reception interval may be set to about 1 to 4 seconds. In addition, if the monitoring means detects that the reception of the response signal has been interrupted for a predetermined time T0 or more, the monitoring device 11 may indicate that the trap has been performed on the video interface 15. The alarm display means for outputting the display is executed. The time T0 is preferably about 20 seconds to 1 minute. Since it may not be possible to receive due to an error, there is a risk of false detection if it is too short, such as several times less than the normal reception interval. On the other hand, if it is too long, the response to wrinkles will be delayed.

  The content of the above warning display means is not particularly limited, but since it is an urgent notification, it occupies at least a part of the screen and can not be overlooked so that it can be seen even during playback of TV programs, video software, game screens, etc. It is preferable that it is conspicuous.

  The monitoring device 11 may have an audio interface that outputs audio together with the video interface 15. Also, it may be included in the video interface 15 and output audio. An example of such a terminal is an HDMI terminal. When voice can be output in this way, voice can be included when the alarm display means is executed.

  Next, a second embodiment of the wrinkle monitoring system including the monitoring device 11a according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The monitoring device 11a includes a network interface 18 that can be connected to the external network 40 in addition to the components of the first embodiment. It is not necessary to be directly connected to the external network 40, and it may be connected via a general household router or other gateway device. Here, the external network 40 refers to a network such as the Internet or a carrier network, and means that it is not a local area network in the home.

  In addition to the monitoring device 11a, the kite monitoring system includes an exit monitoring device 31 installed in the same house. The exit monitoring device 31 includes a second wireless reception unit 33 that receives communication including the identification code from the wireless transmitter 1. In addition, the exit monitoring device 31 includes a network interface 34 that can communicate with the monitoring device 11 a via the external network 40. A signal including the identification code is transmitted through the network interface 34.

  The place where the exit monitoring device 31 is installed is a place where a person to be monitored who has a possibility of wrinkles is likely to pass when he or she tries to start wrinkles. For example, the entrance, the corridor connected to the entrance, the outside of the entrance, and the like can be covered with a communication area that can receive the communication including the identification code of the wireless transmitter 1. Although the communication area that can be covered by the monitoring device 11a may partially overlap, basically, it is desirable to install so as to complement a range that cannot be covered only by the monitoring device 11a.

  The bag monitoring system further includes a management server 41 that can communicate with the monitoring device 11 a and the exit monitoring device 31 via the external network 40. The management server 41 has a linkage database 42 that registers the monitoring device 11a and the exit monitoring device 31 linked to the monitoring device 11a as a set together with the identification code of the wireless transmitter 1 to be monitored. Registering these devices as a set means registering them in a state where they can be identified by an address or a unique ID. These devices are basically registered as a set of devices installed in the same house. For this reason, a plurality of outlet monitoring devices 31 may be installed, and a plurality of outlet monitoring devices 31 may be registered for one monitoring device 11a. For example, the case where the exit monitoring apparatus 31 is installed in two places, a front door and a selfish entrance, is mentioned.

  The execution procedure of the monitoring method in this haze monitoring system is demonstrated with the flow of FIG. First (S101), initial registration means for registering the identification code of the wireless transmitter 1 in the monitoring target recording database 14 of the monitoring device 11a is executed (S102). On the other hand, there is no need to register the exit monitoring device 31 at this stage. This is because the detected identification code is transmitted to the management server 41 unconditionally. Next, cooperative transmission means for transmitting the addresses of the monitoring device 11a and the exit monitoring device 31 to the management server 41 in a set with the identification code is executed (S103). The management server 41 executes cooperation registration means for registering them in the cooperation database 42 as a set (S104).

  Then, the monitoring device 11a executes the above monitoring means (S111). If the communication of the wireless transmitter 1 can be continuously received, the state is continued as it is (S112 → Yes). If the continuation of the periodic response by the monitoring unit is interrupted for a time T1 or more (S112 → No), the monitoring device 11a notifies the management server 41 of the identification code that has been discontinued by the monitoring unit. The means is executed (S113). The time T1 is an interval that is equal to or more than the number of reception intervals and is shorter than the time T0. This means that the holder of the wireless transmitter 1 has left the communication area of the monitoring device 11a. At this stage, it is a preparatory stage to determine that there is a possibility of hesitation, although it cannot be confirmed that he has hesitated. By setting the communication area of the exit monitoring device 31 in the vicinity of the exit of the house, when the trap actually starts, the exit monitoring device 31 detects the communication of the wireless transmitter 1, and the above identification code Is received (S114 → Yes). The exit monitoring device 31 executes passing terminal notification means for transmitting the identification code included in the received response signal to the management server 41 (S115). At this time, the exit monitoring device 31 may automatically transmit the information to the management server 41 without considering whether the identification code is registered for transmission.

  When the management server 41 receives the identification code for which the continuation has been interrupted by the monitoring terminal notification means and receives the identification code by the passing terminal notification means, the management server 41 informs the monitoring device 11a of the person to be monitored. The outing detection notifying means for notifying the start is executed (S116). This means that the exit monitoring device 31 has detected the communication of the wireless transmitter 1 that the monitoring device 11a can no longer receive for the time T1 or more and has passed through the communication area of the exit monitoring device 31. This is because it can be determined that the person has left the house and hesitated. When the monitoring device 11a receives the wrinkle start, the monitoring device 11a executes a wandering notification means for outputting a display indicating that the wrinkle has been made to the video interface 15 (S117).

  The contents of the above-mentioned notification means are basically the same as the above-mentioned alarm display means. However, when there is further information, such as when two exit monitoring devices 31 are installed, additional information such as which exit is detected may be displayed. In any case, the cohabitant who sees the display can quickly move to an action such as searching or reporting to the police.

  On the other hand, after the monitoring device 11a cannot receive the response including the identification code in the management server 41, the notification including the identification code from the exit monitoring device 31 has passed the time T1 and is still longer than the time T0. If not coming (S114 → No), it is determined that the exit monitoring device 31 has gone out of the monitoring area, and the above-mentioned outing detection notification means is executed to notify the monitoring device 11a (S121 → Yes). → S116). This is because, for example, a case where the user has gone out from the window, the edge side, or the doorway is considered. If the detection by the monitoring device 11a can be detected before the time T0 has elapsed, the monitoring system 11a returns to the monitoring system (S121 → No → S112).
