This captured image includes still images and moving images. Camera 13 may be, for example, a visible light camera or a near-infrared camera. Hereinafter, the photographed image photographed by the camera 13 will also be simply referred to as a "photographed image."

The control unit 11 recognizes the behavior of the care recipient 80 from the captured image. This recognized behavior includes, for example, getting up, getting out of bed, falling, falling, walking, and going out.

The control unit 11 detects image silhouettes (hereinafter referred to as "person silhouettes") from a plurality of captured images (for example, moving images). A human silhouette can be detected, for example, by extracting a range of pixels in which the difference is relatively large based on a time difference that differs between images captured at different times. A human silhouette may be detected by a background subtraction method that subtracts a background image from a photographed image. The behavior of the care recipient 80 is determined based on temporal changes in the care recipient's 80 posture (e.g., standing, sitting, and lying positions) recognized based on the person's silhouette, and the presence of objects in the living room such as the bed 90. It can be detected from the relative positional relationship between the two. When the control unit 11 detects a predetermined action, the control unit 11 sends information including the detected predetermined action, a unique ID (for example, a MAC address) that identifies the detection unit 10, and the detection time (hereinafter referred to as "sensor transmission information"). ) is transmitted to the management server 20 via the communication unit 12. The predetermined actions include, for example, the care recipient 80 getting up, getting out of bed, walking, going out, and the like. Sensor transmission information may be repeatedly transmitted at regular time intervals while a predetermined behavior is being detected.

The control unit 11 can detect the execution of care by the care practitioner from the captured image. The control unit 11 can detect the execution of care by a care practitioner, for example, as follows. The start of excretion care can be recognized by detecting that two people have entered the toilet in the living room, such as when the detected silhouettes of two people approach the toilet and disappear. The control unit 11 recognizes the end of incontinence care by detecting that two people have left the toilet in the living room, such as when the silhouettes of the two people who were no longer detected are redetected from near the toilet. obtain. In addition, when the care person executes the incontinence care, for example, the care person uses the function of a beacon provided in the mobile terminal 40 to control the care person's entry and exit from the toilet in the room of the care recipient 80. It may be detected by detecting. The control unit 11 transmits the detected care execution by the care executor to the management server 20 via the communication unit 12 as care execution information. The care execution information includes a unique ID that identifies the detection unit 10 (for example, a MAC address), a care executor (or a unique ID that identifies the care executor), the type of care, the time when the care was started, and the time when the care was completed. may include the time when the The unique ID that identifies the detection unit 10 and the care recipient 80 may be stored in the control unit 11 in advance. The care provider can be detected by known image recognition technology using captured images.
