Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The wireless communication unit slave unit 13 connected to each of the biometric signal detecting unit 12 and the gas meter 7 constituting the measuring unit 1 gives an ID to each unit. In this embodiment, the gas meter 7 has ID 10 and the power meter 8 has I
D20, ID 30 for water meter 9, I for gyro unit 10
D40, ID 50 in the entrance / exit detection unit 11, biosignal detection unit 1
The ID 60 is assigned to 2. Wireless communication unit base unit 1
4 identifies the wireless communication unit slave unit 13 with IDs 10 to 60, and intermittently receives measured values of physical quantities from the wireless communication unit slave units 13 with ID 10 to ID 60. Further, the gyro unit 10 is provided with a device number corresponding to each resident, and it is possible to determine who the movement and pulse data are.
For example, in the present embodiment, a 70-year-old man is given ID 41 of 68
The transmission information is also identified by assigning the ID 42 to the old woman and adding the ID information and the device number information to the communication information. In addition, the entrance / exit detection unit 11 installed at each door has a unit number 1 installed at the entrance, a unit number 2 for the living room, a unit number 3 for the bedroom, a unit number 4 for the kitchen, a unit number 5 for the toilet, and a bath unit 5.

First, in the operation of the present embodiment, the wireless communication unit slave unit 13 assigns the ID 51 to the information of the entrance / exit detection unit 11 installed at the entrance and transmits it to the communication unit master unit 14, and the wireless communication unit master unit 14 It is determined whether the resident is at home from the information sent (S1). If not at home (No.), the same loop is repeated until home is detected. When the resident returns home (Yes.), The measuring means 1 starts measuring the physical quantity (S2). In the present embodiment, the wireless communication unit master unit 14 calls the wireless communication unit slave unit 13 connected to each measuring unit 1 and adds the ID information and the device number information to the physical quantity information measured by each measuring unit 1. It is transmitted (S3). The wireless communication unit parent device 14 receives the transmission data, and stores the data for each component of the measuring means 1 from the ID number and instrument number information of the transmission data (S4). Next, the estimating unit 2 estimates the gas or electricity or tap water consuming device and the position of the resident in the house from the measurement storage data for each component of the measuring unit 1 stored in the wireless communication unit parent device 14. Yes (S5). The setting means 4 stores an abnormal state determination reference value obtained by multiplying the time spent for time-series behaviors extracted from life patterns such as face washing, toilet, breakfast, etc. after the wake-up of a resident by a preset safety factor. For example, the average use time of the bath of a 70-year-old man is averaged over the time in the washing room and the bath, and the variation (3σ) is added and stored as the abnormality determination time. In the present embodiment, the washroom of 7 minutes and 30 seconds and the bathtub of 2 minutes are stored as the abnormal state determination reference values. Now, when it is estimated that a 70-year-old man is taking a bath and relaxing in the bathtub based on the position estimation and the device estimation results, if the staying time in the bathtub exceeds the abnormal state determination reference value of 2 minutes, the determination means 5 Is determined to be in an abnormal state (S
6). When the determination unit 5 determines that the abnormality has occurred, the response unit 6 performs an operation of stopping the use of a device that may cause a fire. For example, the energy supply to the gas appliances and the electric stove in the kitchen is stopped, the energy supply to the gas and the electric heating equipment is stopped, and the emergency agency is contacted.

With the above configuration, the estimating means 2 operates to estimate the behavior of the resident in the room and in the house from the water, gas and electricity usage information necessary for the resident to live and the movement information of the resident. The means 5 detects a physical abnormality occurring in a 70-year-old male or a 68-year-old female in the house from the estimation result and the abnormal state determination value and takes an appropriate action to detect the physical abnormality such as a brain disorder at an early stage. However, the resuscitation rate can be improved, and fire, gas explosion, and death from gas poisoning can be prevented.

Further, since the gyro unit 10 has a structure to be fixed to the human body, it acts so that the amount of movement of the resident can be accurately measured, and the estimating means 2 can estimate the position of the resident more accurately. At the same time, the gyro unit 10 acts so as to measure the pulse rate, and the determination means can more accurately determine the abnormal body state at the time of abnormality. This allows the emergency personnel to prepare and be dispatched with appropriate equipment when dispatched, which can greatly improve the resuscitation rate. Further, since it has a waterproof structure, it can be worn in a bathroom and can be monitored for 24 hours.

Further, by transmitting the measurement information of the measuring means 1 by radio, excess wiring can be eliminated, extra wiring work is not required, workability is improved, and residents' actions are not restricted. Health status can be monitored without compromising the comfort of the resident.

Further, the determining means 5 acts to determine an abnormal state by using the relation between the in-home position of the resident and the staying time extracted from the resident's life pattern in time series as an abnormal state determination reference value, and occurs in the resident in the house. Abnormalities such as intracerebral hemorrhage can be accurately detected.

By using adaptive learning quantized neurons which are epoch-making learning neurons for the estimating means 2, the setting means 4 and the judging means 5, it is possible to detect an abnormal state without error and to cause intracerebral hemorrhage. The resuscitation rate when a brain disorder occurs can be improved.
