Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for confirming the safety of a single person or an elderly person, and more particularly to a terminal device for a safety confirmation television system in which the confirmation of the safety is performed using a television system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the safety of living alone or the elderly is
It is common for relatives and welfare personnel to confirm by living alone or visiting the home of the elderly.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned method, it is often the case that the time of rescue is missed, such as when the disease has already progressed or a life-threatening situation has been encountered.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a safety confirmation system capable of automatically and accurately confirming the safety of a living alone or an elderly person and immediately performing an emergency service, and a terminal device therefor.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, the state of use of a periodic television power on / off signal and the time when the power is turned on or off are stored as specific information. A safety confirmation device including a storage means, a determination means for recognizing a state deviating from the specific information, and a transmission means for transmitting an emergency signal from the determination means is installed at the safety confirmation center, and the television is turned on.・
A terminal device for a safety confirmation television system that transmits an OFF signal is installed in a home, and a signal output from the terminal device for a safety confirmation television system through a telephone line is used as usage information, and identification information of the safety confirmation device is used. And a safety confirmation television system for confirming the safety was adopted.

Therefore, in the safety confirmation device in the safety confirmation center, an abnormal use condition that differs from the specific information in the use condition of the power on / off signal of the television and the time when the power is turned on or off is determined. If it is determined, the safety confirmation center can immediately confirm the abnormality of the living alone or the elderly through an emergency signal, and can immediately take an emergency response.

[0007] In addition to the above-mentioned structure, the present invention further comprises storing, in the storage means of the safety confirmation device, a channel change, a non-change state, or a changed time as additional specific information, For the terminal device for John System,
A safety confirmation television system is employed in which a channel change, a non-change state, or a changed time is transmitted as an additional use situation.

[0008] According to this, not only a simple power on / off signal of the television, but also a change state of the channel can be used as the specific information and the use information, so that it is possible to confirm the safety more accurately.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Specific information on the power on / off of a television can be obtained, for example, by regularly checking a certain time period (a time period in which the user frequently watches the television or a time period in which he does not watch the television at all). .

[0010] The terminal device for a safety confirmation television system is not particularly limited as long as it is a terminal device for a safety confirmation television system having a transmitting means for transmitting a signal for turning on / off the power of a television to a safety confirmation center. It is not something to be done.

[0011] Further, the terminal device is not particularly limited as long as it is a terminal device for a safety confirmation television system provided with a transmitting means for transmitting a change in television channel as a signal to a safety confirmation center.

As the transmitting means, for example, a terminal device for a safety confirmation television system having a light receiving element for receiving a power on / off signal from a remote controller and a transmitting circuit for transmitting the signal of the light receiving element to a telephone. Can be adopted. In the case of this device, this device or telephone
It is necessary to provide a calling means for calling the center via a telephone line.

The transmitting means includes a light receiving element for receiving a power on / off signal from a remote controller and a signal for changing the channel of the television, and a transmitting circuit for transmitting the signal of the light receiving element to the telephone. A terminal device for a safety confirmation television system may be employed.

[0014] Further, the present terminal device is installed between an AC cord of a television and a power supply jack inside and outside the room, and a current change recognizing circuit whose transmission means receives a change in current flowing through the AC cord and a change in the current change recognizing circuit. It is also possible to provide a terminal device for a safety confirmation television system having a transmitting circuit for transmitting a signal at a time. In addition, in the case of this terminal device, it is possible to include a signal light receiving unit that receives a change in the channel from the remote controller.

[0015]

As described above, the present invention uses the on / off signal of the television and the change signal of the channel to obtain one signal.
In order to determine the safety of living alone or the elderly, it is possible to automatically and accurately check the safety of living alone or the elderly, and to immediately perform emergency services.
