Description

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is applied to, for example, a care support system that supports the daily life of a subject, and a reporting control system that controls reporting to a terminal owned by a staff, and a detection unit including the reporting control system. The present invention relates to a care support system including the notification control system and a notification control method.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been proposed a system that monitors the behavior of a patient or a cared person (hereinafter, also referred to as a target person) in a medical institution such as a hospital or a care facility, and issues an alarm if necessary. For example, in the system of Patent Document 1, when the target person gets up and leaves the bed during the time zone (nighttime) in which the target person should go to bed or enter the bed, this action is detected by the bed leaving sensor installed in the server, A bed leaving detection signal is transmitted to. Then, the server sends the wakeup alert notification information to the mobile terminal carried by the staff. As a result, the staff can quickly reach the target person.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2010-286971 (see paragraphs [0010], [0022] to [0025], FIG. 1 and the like)

  However, in the system of Patent Document 1, since an alarm is issued at the time when the target person's leaving the bed is detected at night, the staff often rush to the target person more than necessary, which may increase the work load of the staff. There is. In particular, since the number of staff at night is smaller than that at daytime, the work burden on staff is significantly increased. For example, at night, when the subject leaves the bed to go to the toilet, the subject returns to the bed and goes to bed after finishing the toilet. Therefore, in this case, it can be said that there is no urgency for the staff to immediately rush to the target person when the target person's leaving bed is detected. In addition, even when the subject temporarily awakens from sleep at night, there is no urgent need for the staff to immediately rush, as in the case of temporary leaving the bed. Therefore, in these cases, from the viewpoint of reducing the work load of the staff, it is desirable to limit the notification to the terminal possessed by the staff. However, such a system for restricting reporting has not yet been proposed.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and its object is to maintain a constant level even when the subject's awakening or leaving the bed is detected in the time zone when the subject should sleep or enter the bed. By limiting the notification to the terminal possessed by the staff under certain conditions, it is possible to reduce the frequency of staff rushing to reduce the work load, and a motion detection unit that includes the notification control system, It is to provide a care support system including the notification control system and a notification control method.

  A warning control system according to an aspect of the present invention is based on a detection unit that detects a state of a living room and a state of a person in the living room, a time counting unit that counts time, and a time counting in the time counting unit. In each of a plurality of time zones to be grasped, a staff is provided with a warning control unit for controlling the warning of the terminal to be carried, and the warning control unit should have the subject sleep or go to bed. When reporting to the terminal in the first time zone set in advance as the time zone, the detection unit detects the awakening or getting out of bed of the subject, and issues the warning after the detection continues for a predetermined time.

  The detection unit which concerns on the other side surface of this invention is a detection unit installed in the said living room, Comprising: The alerting control system mentioned above is included.

  A care support system according to still another aspect of the present invention is a care support system including the alerting control system described above, and manages a detection unit installed in the living room and information output from the detection unit. And a management server, the detection unit includes the detection unit, and the management server includes the timing unit and the reporting control unit.

  A warning control method according to yet another aspect of the present invention is a waking/leaving determination step of determining whether or not the detection unit has detected awakening or getting out of bed of the target person in the living room, and the current time is the target person. In the first time zone based on the detection result of the time zone determination step of determining whether or not is included in the first time zone preset as the time zone to go to bed or bed, and the detection section, When a warning is issued to a terminal possessed by staff, the detection unit detects awakening or getting out of bed of the target person, and after the detection lasts for a predetermined time, a reporting control step of reporting to the terminal, including.

  When the awakening or bed leaving state of the target person is detected during the time zone (first time zone, nighttime) when the target person should go to bed or enter the bed, after the detection continues for a predetermined time, the alarm control unit Notification is sent to the terminal owned by the staff. In other words, if the subject's awakening or leaving the bed has not continued for a predetermined time, notification to the terminal is limited. As a result, the frequency of reporting can be reduced as compared with the control of immediately reporting to the terminal at the time of detection of awakening or getting out of bed. Therefore, the frequency of the staff rushing to the target person can be reduced, and the work load on the staff can be reduced.

In this specification, a staff refers to a person engaged in medical care, nursing care, or nursing (a doctor, a caregiver (caregiver), a nurse, etc.), and a target person is an object to be cared for by the staff. Persons (care recipients, patients, etc.) Care also refers to taking care of a target person regarding medical treatment, nursing care, or nursing.

  The notification control system and the notification control method of the present embodiment can be applied to the care support system described below or a moving object detection unit included in the care support system. The above-mentioned care support system is roughly classified into a facility type and a visit type (including a visiting medical type, a visiting care type, and a visiting nursing type). Hereinafter, each type of care support system will be described in order.

[Care support system (facility type)]
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of a facility-type care support system 1 of the present embodiment. The care support system 1 is a system for supporting the daily lives of a care receiver living in a nursing care facility and a patient (nurse care worker) hospitalized in a hospital, and is also called a watching system. .. The cared person and the cared person are the persons to be supported by the care support system 1. Here, as an example, a case where the care support system 1 is constructed in a care facility will be described.

  The care facility S is provided with a staff station 100 and a living room 101. The staff station 100 is a so-called station of the staff T who supports the life of the cared person living in the care facility S. The staff station 100 is provided with a management server 100a. The management server 100a is communicatively connected via a communication line 200 to a moving object detection unit 10 to be described later installed in a living room 101, and includes a central processing unit (CPU). .. The communication line 200 is composed of, for example, a wired LAN (Local Area Network), a wireless LAN, an Internet line, or the like.

The management server 100a receives various types of information (for example, a captured image in the living room 101 and biological information of a care receiver (for example, vital data indicating a breathing state)) transmitted from the motion detection unit 10 via the communication line 200. The received information is displayed on the display unit 100b ₁ and the staff T sees the information displayed on the display unit 100b ₁ in the staff station 100. The display unit 100b ₁ can be configured by, for example, a display of a personal computer 100b communicatively connected to the management server 100a. It may be configured integrally with the personal computer 100b. The detailed configuration of the management server 100a will be described later.

  In addition, since the staff T has a terminal 300 capable of wireless communication with the management server 100a via the communication line 200, the staff T operates the terminal 300 to access the management server 100a and acquire various information. Is possible. Furthermore, the staff T can also display various information transmitted from the management server 100a to the terminal 300 on the screen of the terminal 300 to grasp the state of the care receiver. The terminal 300 may be, for example, a multifunctional mobile terminal such as a tablet or a smartphone, or a notebook personal computer.

  At least one living room 101 is provided in the nursing care facility S, and FIG. 1 shows a case where two living rooms 101 are provided as an example. In the living room 101, one bed 102 used by the cared person is installed. The living room 101 is assumed to be a single room here, but it may be a multi-bed room such as a double room or a quadruple room. In the case of a multi-bed room, as many beds 102 as the care receivers who spend in the living room 101 are installed.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing a state in the living room 101 in which the moving body detection unit 10 is installed. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the moving body detection unit 10 is installed on the ceiling portion 101 a of each living room 101 and is connected to the communication line 200 so as to be able to communicate therewith. When a plurality of beds 102 are installed in the living room 101, the number of moving object detection units 10 corresponding to the number of beds 102 in the living room 101 is installed.

[Motion detection unit]
Next, the moving body detection unit 10 will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the moving body detection unit 10. The moving body detection unit 10 is installed in the living room 101 of the care receiver (target person), detects the state in the living room 101 (for example, whether or not there are a plurality of people in the living room 101), and It is a non-contact sensor that detects the state (for example, physical condition) of the cared person without contacting the cared person. The moving body detection unit 10 includes an image recognition system 20, a radio wave detection unit 30, a unit control unit 40, and a clock unit 45. The moving object detection unit 10 is also called a sensor box because it includes various sensors such as the radio wave detection unit 30 and an optical detection unit 23 described later. The clock unit 45 is composed of a timer that measures time.

(Radio detector)
The radio wave detection unit 30 is a sensor that detects the state of the care receiver in the living room 101 by emitting and receiving radio waves. The radio wave detection unit 30 includes a radiation unit and a reception unit (not shown). For example, a microwave Doppler sensor that radiates a microwave in the 24 GHz band and receives a reflected wave that is reflected by the care receiver and Doppler-shifted Composed. Thereby, the radio wave detection unit 30 can detect the respiratory state (breathing rate), sleep state (sleeping or awakening), heart rate, etc. of the care-receiver as biological information (vital data) from the received reflected wave. ..

  When the care-receiver is breathing (including during sleep), a minute movement of the body (micro-movement) occurs due to the breathing of the care-receiver. Therefore, detecting the breathing state and the sleeping state of the cared person is the same as detecting the minute body movement of the cared person. From this, it can be said that the radio wave detection unit 30 functions as a microscopic body movement detection unit that detects microscopic body movements of the care receiver (subject).

  Further, the radio wave detection unit 30 radiates a radio wave (microwave), and compares the frequency of the radio wave (reflected wave) reflected by the care-receiver with the frequency of the radiated radio wave, thereby It is also possible to detect the movement of the body (body movement). The radio wave detection unit 30 may be a sensor that detects only one of body movement and minute body movement.

(Unit controller)
The unit control unit 40 controls the operations of the image recognition system 20 and the radio wave detection unit 30 and also performs image processing and signal processing on the information obtained from the image recognition system 20 and the radio wave detection unit 30 to obtain the result. Is a control board that outputs to the management server 100a as information regarding the state of the care receiver.

  The unit control section 40 includes a main control section 41, an information processing section 42, an interface section 43, a storage section 24, and an image recognition section 25. The storage unit 24 and the image recognition unit 25 are provided in the unit control unit 40 here, but may be provided separately from the unit control unit 40. The details of the storage unit 24 and the image recognition unit 25 will be described later.

  The main control unit 41 is composed of a CPU that controls the operation of each unit in the moving body detection unit 10. The information processing unit 42 and the image recognition unit 25 may be configured by the above CPU (or may be integrated with the main control unit 41), or may be another arithmetic unit or a circuit that performs a specific process. It may be configured.

  The information processing unit 42 sets a predetermined value with respect to information (for example, image data) output from the optical detection unit 23 described later of the image recognition system 20 and information (for example, data regarding a respiratory state) output from the radio wave detection unit 30. Signal processing is performed based on the algorithm. The information obtained by the signal processing is used for image recognition in the image recognition system 20 (especially the image recognition unit 25).

  A network cable (not shown) of the communication line 200 is electrically connected to the interface unit 43. The information about the state of the care receiver detected by the moving body detection unit 10 based on the image or the microwave is transmitted to the management server 100a via the interface unit 43 and the communication line 200.

(Image recognition system)
The image recognition system 20 includes an illumination unit 21, an illumination control unit 22, and an optical detection unit 23.

  The illumination unit 21 is configured to include an LED (Light Emitting Diode) that emits infrared rays (for example, near-infrared light) to enable shooting in darkness, and is located on the ceiling 101a of the living room 101. , Illuminates the interior of the living room 101. For example, the illumination unit 21 has a plurality of LEDs and illuminates the floor surface 101b (see FIG. 2) in the living room 101 and the wall connecting the ceiling portion 101a and the floor surface 101b. The illumination control unit 22 controls the illumination (light emission of infrared rays) by the illumination unit 21.

  The optical detection unit 23 is an imaging unit that captures an image by capturing the inside of the living room 101 under the illumination of the illumination unit 21, and particularly captures an image of the cared person in the living room 101 and acquires an infrared image. It is an infrared image sensor. The information (image data) of the image in the living room 101 acquired by the optical detection unit 23 is temporarily stored in the storage unit 24 described below, and then stored in the management server 100a based on a transmission request from the management server 100a, for example. Sent. The detailed configuration of the optical detection unit 23 is as follows.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a detailed configuration of the optical detection unit 23. The optical detection unit 23 is disposed on the ceiling 101a of the living room 101 adjacent to the illumination unit 21, and acquires an image of a point directly above the field of view that is immediately below by photographing. The optical detector 23 includes a lens 51, an image sensor 52, an AD (analog/digital) converter 53, an image processor 54, and a control calculator 55.

  The lens 51 is, for example, a fixed focus lens, and is configured by a general super wide-angle lens or a fisheye lens. As the ultra wide-angle lens, a lens having a diagonal angle of view of 150° or more can be used. This makes it possible to take an image of the interior of the living room 101 from the ceiling 101a toward the floor 101b.

  The image pickup element 52 is composed of an image sensor such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) or a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor). The image pickup element 52 is configured by removing the IR cut filter so that the state of the care receiver can be detected as an image even in a pitch dark environment. The output signal from the image sensor 52 is input to the AD conversion unit 53.

  The AD converter 53 receives an analog image signal of an image captured by the image sensor 52 and converts the analog image signal into a digital image signal. The digital image signal output from the AD conversion unit 53 is input to the image processing unit 54.

  The image processing unit 54 receives the digital image signal output from the AD conversion unit 53, and performs image processing such as black correction, noise correction, color interpolation, and white balance on the digital image signal. .. The image-processed signal output from the image processing unit 54 is input to the image recognition unit 25.

  The control calculation unit 55 executes a calculation such as AE (Automatic Exposure) related to the control of the image sensor 52, and controls the image sensor 52 such as an exposure time and a gain. In addition, the control calculation unit 55 executes a calculation such as a suitable light amount setting and a light distribution setting for the illumination unit 21 as necessary, and also executes control. The control calculation unit 55 may have the function of the illumination control unit 22 described above.

  The image recognition system 20 described above further includes the storage unit 24 and the image recognition unit 25 described above.

  The storage unit 24 is a memory that stores a control program executed by the unit control unit 40 and various types of information, and is configured by, for example, a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a non-volatile memory, or the like.

  The image recognition unit 25 performs image recognition processing on the image data of the image acquired by the optical detection unit 23. More specifically, the image recognition unit 25 extracts, for example, the contour of the object from the image data after the image processing unit 54 of the optical detection unit 23 has performed the image processing, by a method such as pattern matching. Image recognition processing for recognizing the shape is executed. Thereby, the image recognition unit 25 can recognize the state of the care receiver in the living room 101. As the state of the care receiver in the living room 101, it is possible to assume wake-up, leaving the bed, entering the bed (rest), falling, and the like. In addition, the image recognition unit 25 can recognize the shape of the human head by pattern matching or the like, and thus the number of humans existing in the living room 101 (especially, whether or not there are a plurality of people in the living room 101). Can also be detected (understood).

  The above-mentioned image recognition system 20 (especially the optical detection unit 23 and the image recognition unit 25) and the radio wave detection unit 30 constitute a detection unit that detects the state inside the living room 101 and the state of the care receiver inside the living room 101. ing.

[Care support system (visit type)]
FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of the visit-type care support system 1. The visit-type care support system 1 installs the above-described moving body detection unit 10 in each home (for example, the living room 110) of a person who manages health, such as a cared person or a cared person, and each moving body detection unit 10 is installed. Is configured to be communicatively connected to the management server 100a via the communication line 200, and except that the motion detection unit 10 is installed in each building, the facility-type care support system 1 and the basic configuration Are the same.

[Detailed configuration of management server]
Next, a detailed configuration of the management server 100a described above will be described. In addition, although the facility-type care support system 1 will be described below as an example, the same configuration can be applied to the visit-type care support system 1.

  FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a detailed configuration of the management server 100a. The management server 100a includes a storage unit 501, a communication unit 502, a position determination unit 503, a clock unit 504, and a control unit 505. The clock unit 504 is composed of a timer that measures time.

  The storage unit 501 is composed of, for example, a hard disk, and stores various information transmitted from the moving body detection unit 10 and a program executed by the control unit 505. The various types of information include, for example, the daily temperature of the care recipient, body movements (including movements, the number of movements per unit time, and the amount of movements), small body movements (breathing rate), blood pressure, sleep state, etc. It includes biometric information (vital data), image information acquired by the optical detection unit 23 through image capturing, an image recognition result by the image recognition unit 25, and the like. The various information may be transmitted from the motion detecting unit 10 to the management server 100a in response to a request for information transmission from the management server 100a (for example, the overall control unit 511), or automatically from the motion detecting unit 10. May be transmitted to the management server 100a.

  The storage unit 501 also functions as a care information storage unit that stores the care record information (care record information) recorded regarding the care of the care receiver. The care record information includes, for example, information recorded by the staff regarding the meal and water intake state of the care receiver. For example, when the cared person takes a meal or water in the living room 101, if the staff T takes care of assisting the ingestion, the staff T uses the implementation status (content) of the care as care record information as a terminal. Enter in 300. The input care record information is transmitted from the terminal 300 to the management server 100a and stored in the storage unit 501. Therefore, for example, the control unit 505 (particularly, the reporting control unit 512 described below) refers to the care record information to determine whether or not care has been provided to the care receiver, that is, the care receiver is in the living room 101. It becomes possible to judge whether or not the user is in the room. The care record information may be input by the personal computer 100b (see FIG. 1) connected to the management server 100a and stored in the storage unit 501.

  The storage unit 501 also functions as a registration information storage unit that stores registration information about the care-receiver, which is registered in advance when the care-receiver moves into the living room 101. The above-mentioned registration information may be input by, for example, an operation on the personal computer 100b and stored in the storage unit 501, but it is also input by the terminal 300 of the staff T, transmitted to the management server 100a, and stored in the storage unit 501. May be.

  The registration information of the cared person includes, for example, the correspondence relationship between the cared person (name) and the living room 101 (room number), as well as information on whether the cared person is bedridden or cannot be out of bed. No out-of-bed means that the care recipient cannot move easily and the outside room is not allowed, for example, if the care recipient has an infectious disease (eg, influenza) or has a bone fracture Refers to the state. Therefore, the control unit 505 (particularly the alarm control unit 512) can determine whether or not the cared person is a target person who needs to be managed in the bed state based on the above registration information. Become.

  The communication unit 502 is an interface for inputting/outputting information to/from the outside (for example, the moving body detection unit 10 and the terminal 300), and includes a transmission circuit, a reception circuit, an antenna, and the like.

  The position determination unit 503 determines the position of the staff T based on the detection result of the state inside the living room 101 by the moving body detection unit 10 (particularly the detection unit), and also determines whether the staff T enters or leaves the living room 101. It is a block and is composed of, for example, a CPU. The details of the method for determining the entry/exit of the staff T are as follows.

  As described above, the moving object detection unit 10 can detect whether or not a plurality of people are present in the living room 101 based on the result of the image recognition by the image recognition unit 25 for the image acquired by the optical detection unit 23. it can. Here, when a plurality of persons are present in the single-person room 101, it is highly likely that the staff T is included in the room 101 in addition to the cared person. Further, even when the living room 101 is a multi-bed room, if a larger number of care receivers spending in the living room 101 is detected, the staff T is included in the living room 101 in addition to the plurality of care receivers. There is a high possibility that Therefore, the position determination unit 503 can determine that the staff T has entered the living room 101 when the moving body detection unit 10 detects a larger number of care receivers in the living room 101. ..

  The control unit 505 includes an overall control unit 511 and a reporting control unit 512. The overall control unit 511 is a block that controls the operation of each unit of the management server 100a, and is composed of, for example, a CPU. The reporting control unit 512 is a block that controls the issuance (notification) of an alarm to the terminal 300 owned by the staff T in each of a plurality of time zones grasped based on the timekeeping by the timing unit 504, For example, it is composed of a CPU. The overall control unit 511 and the reporting control unit 512 may be configured by the same CPU. Further, at least one of the overall control unit 511 and the report control unit 512 may also function as the position determination unit 503 described above.

  Hereinafter, a specific example of the notification control to the terminal 300 by the notification control unit 512 will be described.

[Specific Example 1]
FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing the flow of processing by report control in the care support system 1 of the present embodiment. The alerting control method realized in the care support system 1 of the present embodiment includes a bed entry/resting bed determination step (S1), an awakening/bed bed determination step (S3, S5), and a time zone determination step (S7). And an alarm control step (S9, S11).

(S1; bed entry/bed-down determination process)
In S1, the alarm control unit 512 determines whether or not the detection unit of the moving body detection unit 10 has detected (by image recognition) the caregiver's entry or recumbent bed based on the detection signal transmitted from the movement detection unit 10. To judge. When it is determined in S1 that the detection unit has detected that the care receiver enters the bed or the bed is lying, the process proceeds to S3. On the other hand, if it is determined in S1 that the detection unit has not detected the care-receiver's bed entry or bed rest, the process proceeds to S11 described below.

(S3, S5; awakening/bed-up determination process)
In S3, the alarm control unit 512 detects, based on the detection signal transmitted from the moving body detection unit 10, the awakening or the leaving of the care receiver in the living room 101 (by the detection of the fine body movement or the image recognition). Or not. Then, when it is determined in S3 that the awakening or leaving the bed is detected, the alarm control unit 512 further determines whether the detection of the awakening or the leaving in S3 has continued for a predetermined time (whether the awakening or leaving the bed continued for a predetermined time. Whether or not) is determined (S5). Here, as the above-mentioned predetermined time, for example, a sufficient time (for example, 15 minutes) can be assumed for the cared person to go to the toilet after returning from the bed and return. The predetermined time may be set according to the cared person, and may be set to a different time for each cared person. The predetermined time can be set in advance by operating the personal computer 100b, for example, and the set time information is stored in the storage unit 501.

  When it is determined in S5 that the detection of awakening or leaving the bed has continued for the predetermined time, the process proceeds to the next S7. On the other hand, if it is determined in S3 that the awakening or leaving the caregiver has not been detected, and if it is determined in S5 that the detection of the awakening or leaving the bed has not continued for a predetermined time (detection of awakening or leaving the bed) After that, when it is determined that sleep or bed entry is detected within a predetermined time), the process proceeds to S11 described below.

(S7: time zone determination step)
In S7, the alerting control unit 512 of the management server 100a uses the timekeeping unit 504 to measure the current time based on the first time period preset as the time period in which the care receiver should go to bed or enter the bed ( For example, it is determined whether it is included in 21:00 to 6:59 in the next morning) or a second time zone (for example, 7:00 to 10:59) different from the first time zone. . The first time zone may be set according to the care recipient, and may be set to a different time for each care recipient. The first time zone can be set in advance by operating the personal computer 100b, for example, and the set time information is stored in the storage unit 501. Further, the second time zone changes according to the setting of the first time zone.

  When it is determined in S7 that the current time is included in the first time zone (night), the process proceeds to the next S9, and the current time is not included in the first time zone (included in the second time zone). If it is determined), the process proceeds to S11.

(S9, S11; alarm control process)
In S9, the report control unit 512 notifies (reports) an alarm to the terminal 300 of the staff T. Thereby, the staff T recognizes that the care receiver is likely to be in a dangerous state (for example, falling from the bed or falling) based on the alarm, and rushes to the living room 101 to check the status of the care receiver. However, it is possible to take appropriate measures as necessary (for example, contacting a doctor or assisting in entering the bed).

  On the other hand, in S11, the reporting control unit 512 stops reporting to the terminal 300. For example, in S<b>1, if the care-receiver's bed entry or bed rest is not detected, the care-receiver is not in the room 101 from the beginning (for example, the room 101 is originally empty), or the care-receiver is It is assumed that the person outside the bed in the living room 101 is doing business (when watching TV or doing gymnastics), and it is unlikely that the cared person is in a dangerous state. Furthermore, in S3, when the care recipient does not detect awakening or leaving the bed after entering the bed, it is unlikely that the care recipient is in a sleep state and the care recipient is in a dangerous state. Further, in S5, when the detection of awakening or getting out of bed does not continue for a predetermined time, it is assumed that the cared person finishes the work (for example, toilet) after waking up or getting out of bed, returns to the bed, and enters the sleep state. , It is considered unlikely that the cared person is in a dangerous state. Further, in S7, when the current time is included in the second time zone, the behavior pattern of the care receiver is different from that in the first time zone (night), so that the care receiver's leaving bed continues for a predetermined time. , It cannot be generally said that the cared person is in a dangerous state (for example, the cared person may leave the room due to participation in the event). Therefore, in these cases, by stopping the notification to the terminal 300, it is possible to eliminate the (unnecessary) rush of the staff T when the cared person is unlikely to be in a dangerous state.

  As described above, when the alerting control unit 512 issues an alert to the terminal 300 in the first time zone (night), the detection unit of the moving body detection unit 10 detects awakening or leaving the care recipient, and An alarm is issued after the detection continues for a predetermined time (S3, S5, S7, S9). In other words, the notification control unit 512 does not notify the terminal if the awakening or leaving of the care receiver is detected during the first time period but the detection does not continue for a predetermined time (S7, S11). As described above, in the first time period, when the care receiver does not wake up or leave the bed for a predetermined time, the staff T is restricted from being notified to the terminal 300. Therefore, the staff T is notified based on the notification. The work load on the staff T can be reduced by reducing the frequency of rushing to the caregiver. In particular, since the number of staff T is smaller at night than in the daytime, the effect of reducing the work load on the staff T by the above-mentioned alarm control at night is very high.

  Further, while the notification to the terminal 300 is limited (for a predetermined time from the detection of awakening or leaving the bed), the terminal 300 does not receive the notification (notification of alarm), and therefore, for example, is issued at the time of detection of the leaving bed. Compared to the notification control, the annoyance caused by receiving the notification is reduced. Further, in the first time period, since the alert is issued after the detection of the awakening or leaving the caregiver continues for a predetermined time, the staff T receives the alert and quickly rushes to the care recipient. Appropriate measures can be taken, and it is possible to avoid situations in which the cared person is left in a dangerous state.

  In addition, for example, when the living room 101 is empty from the beginning, since there is no one on the bed of the living room 101, it is determined that the cared person has left the bed (despite being absent from the beginning). When the (detection unit) detects and the state of this detection continues for a predetermined time, the terminal 300 is notified. The notification in this case is not a notification that the cared person is in a dangerous state, but is a false alarm. As described above, in the case where the reporting control unit 512 reports to the terminal 300 in the first time period, after the detection unit once detects that the care receiver enters the bed or the bed (S1), the care receiver receives care. The awakening or leaving of the person is detected, and the alarm is issued after the detection continues for a predetermined time, so that the notification of the false alarm can be eliminated. In other words, the detection unit first detects the state in which the care receiver is in the living room 101 (particularly the state in which the person is on the bed), then detects awakening or leaving the bed, and issues an alarm after the detection continues for a predetermined time. It is possible to reliably detect a change in the state of the care-receiver in the living room 101 (awakening from the sleeping state or leaving the bed) and issue an appropriate alarm.

  In addition, as described above, the behavior pattern of the cared person often differs between day and night, and during the daytime (for example, the second time zone), the cared person does not spend much time in the living room 101 due to an event. In such a case, even if the detection unit detects the care-receiver's leaving the bed for a predetermined time, the care-receiver is not in a dangerous state, and it is not necessary to notify the terminal 300. Therefore, when the alerting control unit 512 detects the awakening or leaving of the care receiver by the detection unit in the second time period different from the first time period, and the detection continues for a predetermined time, the terminal 300 By stopping the notification to (S7, S11), unnecessary notification in the second time zone can be eliminated.

  In addition, considering the difference in the behavior pattern of the care recipient between day and night, by changing the alarm control during day and night, compared to the case where the same alarm control is performed during day and night without considering such a difference, It is possible to issue a more accurate and appropriate alarm in each of day and night. Especially at night, since there is a behavior pattern peculiar to the cared person at night, it is possible to issue an appropriate alarm in consideration of it. In other words, by changing the alarm control algorithm between the first time zone and the second time zone, it is possible to perform appropriate alarm control according to each of the first time zone and the second time zone. Become.

  In addition, the number of staff T and the behavior pattern are different between day and night, and the tolerance for false alarms is different (the number of staff T is smaller and the tolerance for false alarms is lower at night). In consideration of the difference in tolerance against false alarms in day and night, by changing the alarm control in day and night, compared to the case of performing the same alarm control in day and night without considering such a difference, in each day and night It is possible to issue an appropriate alarm according to the number of staff T and the action pattern. In particular, at night, since there is a tolerance peculiar to the night, it is possible to issue an appropriate alarm according to the tolerance.

  Further, the detection unit (including the optical detection unit 23, the image recognition unit 25, and the radio wave detection unit 30) of the moving body detection unit 10 indicates the state of the care receiver in the living room 101 (for example, sleep/wake, entry/exit). Detects without contact. In this case, the detection unit can detect the state of the cared person without limiting the behavior of the cared person in the living room 101. That is, when detecting the state of the care-receiver, it is not necessary to force the care-receiver to wear special footwear (slippers with a walking sensor) as in Patent Document 1, for example. Further, since the state of the care-receiver is detected without contact by the care-receiver, the care-receiver does not feel a sense of oppression or anxiety due to the monitoring.

  The care support system 1 also includes a moving body detection unit 10 installed in the living room 101, and a management server 100a that manages information output from the moving body detection unit 10, and the moving body detection unit 10 includes the above-mentioned detection unit. In addition, the management server 100a includes a time counting unit 504 and a reporting control unit 512. In the configuration of the care support system 1 as described above, the above-described effect can be obtained by the notification control unit 512 of the management server 100a performing the above-described notification control.

  From the above, the motion detection unit 10 (particularly the detection unit) and the management server 100a constitute a notification control system for controlling the notification to the terminal, and the care support system 1 includes the above notification control system. It can be said that the configuration includes.

  In the above, the time zone determination step (S7) is performed after the awakening/bed leaving determination step (S3, S5), but may be performed before the awakening/bed leaving determination step (S3, S5), It may be performed before the step of entering/declining the bed (S1). This point is the same in the following specific examples.

[Specific Example 2]
FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing the flow of processing by another notification control in the care support system 1 of this embodiment. In this example, instead of the bed entry/resting bed determination step (S1) of Example 1, the subject presence determination step (S1-2) is performed, and the staff entry/exit determination step (S8-1) is further performed. ing. Then, in the reporting control process, reporting is controlled based on the result of the staff entry/exit determination (S8-2, S9, S11). Hereinafter, differences from the first specific example will be described.

(S1-2; target person presence determination step)
In S1-2, the report control unit 512 determines whether or not the care receiver is present in the living room 101 based on the care record information stored in the storage unit 501. In S1-2, when it is determined that the care receiver is absent, the process proceeds to S11, and when it is determined that the care receiver is present in the living room 101, the process proceeds to S3.

(S8-1; staff entry/exit determination process)
S8-1 is performed after the time zone determination step of S7. When it is determined in S7 that the current time is in the first time zone (night), the position determination unit 503 determines that the living room is based on the detection result of the state in the living room 101 by the detection unit of the moving body detection unit 10. It is determined whether the staff T enters or leaves the room 101. It should be noted that the determination of the staff T entering the room can be made based on whether or not the number of cared persons spending in the living room 101 is detected by the image recognition by the detection unit as described above. (If detected, it will be judged as staff entry). Further, the staff can leave the room based on whether or not the same number as the number of cared persons spending in the living room 101 is detected by the image recognition in the detection unit (when the same number is detected. Staff will be leaving the room).

(S8-2, S9, S11; reporting control step)
In S8-1, if the staff T does not enter or leave the room 101, the process proceeds to S9, and the report control unit 512 reports to the terminal 300. That is, in the alarm notification control unit 512, during the first time period (S7), the detection unit detects the awakening or leaving the care receiver (S3), and after the detection continues for a predetermined time (S5), the terminal 300. (S9).

  On the other hand, in S8-1, if the staff T enters or leaves the room 101, the process proceeds to S8-2. In S8-2, the report control unit 512 determines whether or not the detection of the care receiver's leaving the bed by the detection unit in S3 is simultaneous with the leaving of the staff T. When the detection of the care-receiver's leaving the bed is simultaneous with the leaving of the staff T, it can be said that the care-receiver is highly likely to be taken out by the staff T (so-called tailgating). In this case, since it is assumed that the care receiver receives nursing and care by staff at a nurse station or the like, it can be said that the care receiver is not in a dangerous state such as falling due to leaving the bed. Therefore, in this case, the process proceeds to S11, and the report control unit 512 stops the report to the terminal 300. Further, in S8-2, when the detection of the care receiver leaving the bed is not simultaneous with the leaving of the staff T (for example, when the care worker leaving the bed is detected after the leaving of the staff T), the care receiver falls or the like. Since there is a high possibility that it is in a dangerous state, the process moves to S9, and the report control unit 512 reports to the terminal 300.

  As described above, in the alarm notification control unit 512, the position determination unit 503 determines that the staff T has entered and left the room 101 during the first time period (S7) (S8-1), and When the caregiver leaves the bed when the staff T leaves the room and the detection continues for a predetermined time (S3, S5, S8-2), the notification to the terminal 300 is stopped (S11). That is, during the period in which the care receiver is taken out by the staff T in the first time period, the same alarm control (report stop) as in the second time period is performed. When the care receiver leaves the room with the staff T as described above, there is a high possibility that the care receiver is not in a dangerous state. Therefore, if the terminal 300 is notified in this state, it will be a false alarm. By performing the above-mentioned reporting control by the reporting control unit 512, it is possible to prevent the notification of the false report.

  When the staff T does not enter or leave the living room 101 during the first time period, the notification control unit 512 notifies the terminal 300 after a lapse of a predetermined time from the detection of leaving the bed, etc., as in Specific Example 1. Report (S3, S5, S7, S8-1, S9). During the predetermined time from the detection of getting out of bed, etc., the notification to the terminal 300 is limited and the notification is not frequently performed, so that the annoyance of receiving the notification by the notification many times can be reduced. .. Further, by the above notification, the staff T can quickly rush to the cared person and take appropriate measures, and it is possible to avoid a situation in which the cared person is left in a dangerous state.

  In addition, the position determination unit 503 determines the number of humans existing in the living room 101 (a plurality of people in the living room 101) based on the detection result (for example, image recognition result) of the state in the living room 101 by the detection unit of the moving body detection unit 10. It is possible to determine whether or not a person other than the cared person (that is, the staff T) enters and leaves the living room 101, because it is possible to grasp whether or not the person exists.

  In addition, the notification control unit 512 determines that the care receiver is present in the living room 101 based on the care record information during the first time period (S7) (S1-2), and then the position The determination unit 503 determines that the staff T has entered and left the room 101 (S8-1), and when the staff T leaves the room, it is detected that the care receiver leaves the bed, and the detection continues for a predetermined time. (S3, S5, S8-2) stops reporting to the terminal 300. In this manner, the detection unit detects the bed leaving from the state where the care receiver is present in the living room 101, and the alarm is controlled based on the detection result. It is possible to prevent a false alarm from being issued when the moving object detection unit 10 (detection unit) detects that the moving object is not present. That is, the target person occupancy determination step (S1-2) of the present specific example corresponds to the entry/resting determination step of S1-1 of the specific example 1, and the effect of performing the entry/resting determination. The same effect can be obtained.

  Further, the alarm control unit 512 determines whether the care receiver is present in the room based on the care record information. Therefore, when the care record information is not updated, the care receiver in the living room 101 It can be determined that the care has not been provided, that is, the care receiver has not returned to the living room 101 due to an event or the like, and it is possible to notify the terminal 300 to that effect.

[Specific Example 3]
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing by still another notification control in the care support system 1 of this embodiment. In this specific example, in the control of the specific example 2, when the current time is not the first time zone (when it is the second time zone), the subject person management determination step (S8-3) is further performed, and the result is The alarm control is switched according to. Although the steps S8-1 and S8-2 of the second specific example are deleted in this specific example, they may be left as they are. Hereinafter, differences from the second specific example will be described.

(S8-3; subject management determination step)
In S7, when the current time is not the first time zone but the second time zone, the process proceeds to S8-3, and the notification control unit 512 registers the care receiver stored in the storage unit 501. Based on the information, that is, the registration information registered in advance when the care receiver moves into the living room 101, the care receiver needs to manage the person in the bed in both the first time zone and the second time zone. It is determined whether the person is a cared person. Note that, as described above, the “care recipient who needs to be managed while in bed” can be, for example, a bedridden care recipient or a care recipient who cannot use the outer bed. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the “care recipient who needs to be managed while in the bed” is also referred to as “severe care recipient”.

(S9, S11; alarm control process)
In S8-3, when the care receiver is a severe care receiver in both the first time zone and the second time zone, the process proceeds to S9, and the alarm control unit 512 causes the terminal 300 to operate. Report to On the other hand, in S8-3, when the cared person is a normal cared person who does not need to be managed in the bed in both the first time zone and the second time zone, the process proceeds to S11. Then, the reporting controller 512 stops reporting to the terminal 300.

  In the case of a severely cared person, even if the cared person is out of bed even during the second time period (for example, in the daytime), the cared person may fall from the bed and be in a dangerous state. Is likely to be. For this reason, in this specific example, if the alarm control unit 512 determines that the care receiver is a severe care receiver based on the registration information, the alarm control unit 512 causes the detection unit to detect the care receiver in the second time period. After the care-receiver's leaving the bed is detected and the detection continues for a predetermined time, the terminal 300 is notified (S3, S5, S7, S8-3, S9). That is, in the case of a severely cared person, the alarm control similar to that in the first time zone (the alarm control in the first time zone throughout the day) is performed even in the second time zone. As a result, even in the second time period, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the cared person who is severely left is left in a dangerous state. Further, in the second time period, since the terminal 300 does not receive the notification (notification) during the predetermined time from the detection of leaving the bed, the staff T issues the alarm as compared with the configuration in which the notification is issued at the time of detecting the leaving bed. The annoyance of receiving the information is also reduced. On the other hand, in the second time period, if the cared person is not the severely cared person, the notification to the terminal 300 is stopped (S7, S8-3, S11). As a result, as in the first specific example, unnecessary notification can be eliminated when the cared person is unlikely to be in a dangerous state during the second time period.

  Further, in this specific example, the subject presence determination step is performed in S1-2. When the care receiver is a severe care receiver, the alarm control unit 512 determines that the care receiver is present in the living room 101 based on the care record information during the second time period. It is determined that the care-taker is out of bed by the detection unit, and after the detection continues for a predetermined time, the terminal 300 is notified (S1-2, S3, S5, S7, S8-3, S9). As a result, for the severely cared person, after confirming that he/she is in bed in the second time period, it is possible to perform the detection of leaving the bed and the alarm after a predetermined time has passed from the detection. Therefore, for example, when the care recipient is out of the living room 101 for bathing, washing hair, etc. and has not yet returned to the living room 101, the detection unit detects that the care recipient is out of bed (erroneous. Even if the cared person is not in a dangerous state, it is possible to prevent a false alarm from being issued after a predetermined time has passed since the detection of leaving the bed.

[Specific Example 4]
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing by still another alarm control in the care support system 1 of the present embodiment. This specific example is the same as Specific Example 3 except that the target person management determination step (S8-3) is replaced with the target person management determination step (S8-4). Hereinafter, points different from the specific example 3 will be described.

(S8-4; subject management determination step)
In S7, when the current time is not the first time zone but the second time zone, the process proceeds to S8-4, and the notification control unit 512 causes the care receiver to store the care of the care receiver. Based on the management information, it is determined whether the care receiver is a severe care receiver in both the first time zone and the second time zone.

(S9, S11; alarm control process)
In S8-4, when the care receiver is a severe care receiver in both the first time zone and the second time zone, the process proceeds to S9, and the alarm control unit 512 causes the terminal 300 to operate. Report to On the other hand, in S8-4, when the cared person is a normal cared person who does not need to be managed in the bed in both the first time zone and the second time zone, the process proceeds to S11. Then, the reporting controller 512 stops reporting to the terminal 300.

  In this specific example, if the alarm control unit 512 determines that the care receiver is a severe care receiver based on the care record information, the detection control unit 512 detects the care receiver during the second time period. The person leaving the bed is detected, and after the detection continues for a predetermined time, the terminal 300 is notified (S3, S5, S7, S8-4, S9). As a result, as in the case of the third specific example, it is possible to avoid the situation in which the care receiver is left in a dangerous state even during the second time period. Further, in the second time period, since the terminal 300 does not receive the notification (notification) during the predetermined time from the detection of leaving the bed, the staff T issues the alarm as compared with the configuration in which the notification is issued at the time of detecting the leaving of the bed. The annoyance of receiving the information is also reduced.

  Further, when the care receiver is a severe care receiver, the alarm control unit 512 indicates that the care receiver is present in the living room 101 based on the care record information in the second time period. It is determined that the cared person is out of bed by the detection unit, and after the detection continues for a predetermined time, the terminal 300 is notified (S1-2, S3, S5, S7, S8-4, S9). As a result, for the severely cared person, after confirming that he/she is in bed in the second time period, it is possible to perform the detection of leaving the bed and the alarm after a predetermined time has passed from the detection. Therefore, when the care receiver has not returned to the living room 101 from the bathroom outside the living room 101, the detection unit detects (erroneously detects) that the care receiver is out of bed, and the care receiver is not in a dangerous state. Nevertheless, it is possible to prevent a false alarm from being issued after a predetermined time has elapsed since the detection of leaving the bed.

  By the way, in each of the specific examples described above, an example has been described in which the entire care support system 1 including the moving object detection unit 10 and the management server 100a constitutes a notification control system for controlling the notification to the terminal 300. It is also possible to configure the alarm control system by the moving body detection unit 10 alone. For example, the unit control unit 40 (for example, the main control unit 41) of the moving body detection unit 10 may have the same function as the above-described reporting control unit 512 of the management server 100a. Then, the main control unit 41 may control the reporting to the terminal 300 via the management server 100a or directly. In this case, the main control unit 41 controls the issuance of an alarm to the terminal 300 owned by the staff T in each of the plurality of time zones that are grasped based on the timekeeping by the timekeeping unit 45 in the motion detection unit 10. The alarm control unit is configured. Therefore, the moving body detection unit 10 as the notification control system includes the above-described detection unit (including the optical detection unit 23, the image recognition unit 25, and the radio wave detection unit 30), the timer unit 45, and the main unit as the notification control unit. The main control unit 41 includes a control unit 41, and the main control unit 41 detects the target person by the detection unit when the target person issues a notification to the terminal 300 in the first time zone preset as the time zone in which the target person should go to bed or enter the bed. It can be said that the configuration is such that when awakening or getting out of bed is detected and the detection continues for a predetermined time, an alarm is issued.

  Similarly, the main control unit 41 of the moving body detection unit 10 may have the same function as the position determination unit 503 of the management server 100a described above. Further, the storage unit 24 of the moving body detection unit 10 may function as a registration information storage unit that stores the registration information of the target person, like the above-described storage unit 501 of the management server 100a, and the care record information of the target person. May function as a care record storage unit that stores

  Therefore, it can be said that the notification control in the care support system 1 described in each of the above specific examples can be applied to the notification control in the moving object detection unit 10 alone.

[Other]
The alarm control system, the detection unit, the care support system, and the alarm control method of the present embodiment described above can be expressed as follows.

  That is, the alarm control system described above grasps based on the detection unit that detects the state of the living room and the state of the target person in the living room, the time counting unit that counts time, and the time counting in the time counting unit. In each of the plurality of time zones that are provided, an alarm control unit that controls alarm notification to the terminal possessed by the staff, and the alarm control unit is the time when the target person should go to bed or enter the bed. When reporting to the terminal in the first time zone preset as a band, the detection unit detects the awakening or getting out of bed of the subject, and reports after the detection continues for a predetermined time.

  In the reporting control system described above, the reporting control unit, when reporting to the terminal in the first time zone, after the detection unit detects that the target person is in bed or lying down, The alarm may be issued after the awakening or leaving of the subject is detected and the detection continues for a predetermined time.

  In the notification control system described above, in the notification control unit, in the second time period different from the first time period, the detection unit detects awakening or getting out of bed of the target person, and the detection is predetermined. When the time has continued, the notification to the terminal may be stopped.

  The above-mentioned reporting control system further includes a position determination unit that determines whether or not the staff enters or leaves the living room based on the detection result of the state of the living room by the detection unit, and the reporting control unit is In the first time period, it is determined by the position determination unit that the staff has entered and left the room, and further, when the staff leaves the room, the detection unit detects the leaving of the target person, When the detection continues for a predetermined time, the notification to the terminal may be stopped.

  The notification control system described above is based on a care information storage unit that stores care record information recorded regarding the care of the target person and a detection result of the state of the living room by the detection unit, and the staff for the living room. And a position determination unit that determines whether or not the subject is in and out of the room, wherein the reporting control unit determines whether the subject is present in the living room based on the care record information in the first time period. It is determined that the staff has entered and left the room by the position determination unit, and further, when the staff leaves the room, the detection unit detects the leaving of the person, and the detection is predetermined. When the time has continued, the notification to the terminal may be stopped.

  The notification control system described above further includes a registration information storage unit that stores registration information about the target person registered in advance when the target person moves into the living room, and the notification control unit stores the registration information in the registration information. Based on the above, it is determined whether the target person is a target person who needs to be managed in the bed in both the first time zone and the second time zone different from the first time zone. However, in the case of the target person who needs to be managed in the entry state, in the second time period, the detection section detects that the target person has left the bed, and after the detection continues for a predetermined time, It may be notified to the terminal.

  The above notification control system further includes a care information storage unit that stores care record information regarding the care of the target person, and the notification control unit is a target person that the target person needs to manage in a bed-in state. When it is, in the second time period, it is determined that the target person is present in the living room based on the care record information, the detection unit detects the leaving of the target person, The terminal may be notified after the detection continues for a predetermined time.

  The notification control system may further include a care information storage unit that stores care record information related to the care of the target person, and the report control unit may be configured such that the target person uses the first record based on the care record information. It is necessary to determine whether or not the person is a target person who needs to be managed in the bed in both the time zone of 1 and the second time zone different from the first time zone, and to manage the person in the bed state. In the case of a certain target person, the detection unit may detect the leaving of the target person in the second time period, and after the detection continues for a predetermined time, the terminal may be notified.

  In the above notification control system, the notification control unit, based on the care record information in the second time period, when the target person is a target person who needs to be managed in a bed state. It may be determined that the target person is in the living room, the detection unit detects that the target person has left the bed, and the detection is continued for a predetermined time, and then the terminal may be notified.

  In the notification control system described above, the detection unit may detect the state of the target person in the living room in a non-contact manner.

  The detection unit described above is a detection unit installed in the living room, and includes the alerting control system described above.

  The care support system described above is a care support system including the alerting control system described above, and includes a detection unit installed in the living room and a management server that manages information output from the detection unit. In addition, the detection unit includes the detection unit, and the management server includes the timing unit and the notification control unit.

  The alarm control method described above includes an awakening/bed leaving determination step of determining whether or not the detection unit detects awakening or bed leaving of the target person in the living room, and the current time indicates that the target person goes to bed or goes to bed.
