Description

The present invention relates to a monitored person monitoring support system and a monitored person monitoring support method that support monitoring of a monitored person to be monitored.

In recent years, with the entry of a super-aging society, technologies for complementing operations in the nursing industry, long-term care industry, etc. have been researched and developed, and are disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2.

The monitored person monitoring device disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a monitored person monitoring device that detects and notifies a predetermined action of the monitored person to be monitored, and has a monitoring function for monitoring the monitored person. It is equipped with a monitoring function stop processing unit that stops.

The wanderer monitoring device disclosed in Patent Document 2 is a heat ray sensor installed at an entrance / exit to detect an entry / exit person, an external light receiver installed near the entrance / exit, an interlocking device for receiving those signals, and a warning release remote controller. It is a wandering detection device composed of, and when the heat ray sensor detects a resident, an outpatient suspicious person, etc., it sends a signal to a receiving unit provided in the interlocking device, and is further provided in the interlocking device. The control unit receives the signal from the receiving unit, and the external receiver determines whether or not the alert state has been released by operating the alert release remote controller. If not, it is sent to the notification device such as the nurse call master unit. A signal is sent, and if it is canceled, a signal is sent to a notification device such as a nurse call master unit.

By the way, the monitored person monitoring device that monitors the monitored person detects and notifies a predetermined action in the monitored person. However, when a worker who is not the monitored person, for example, performing a predetermined work such as nursing care or cleaning enters the monitoring area of the monitored person monitoring device, the monitored person monitoring device performs a predetermined action in the worker. There is a risk of detecting and notifying. Not only is such a notification meaningless in itself, but if a worker other than the worker rushes to the notification, it becomes a wasteful rush and reduces work efficiency.

The monitored person monitoring device disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a monitoring function stop processing unit that stops the monitoring function for monitoring the monitored person. However, since the monitoring function stop processing unit stops the monitoring function by the monitoring function stop operation by the observer on the terminal device, the monitored person monitoring device requires a complicated monitoring function stop operation to stop the monitoring function. It is also necessary that the observer may mistakenly operate and stop the monitoring function of the monitored person who is not the desired monitored person.

In the wandering person monitoring device disclosed in Patent Document 2, since the alert state is released by operating the alert release remote controller, the alert release remote controller can be operated by others other than the facility personnel, and is not necessarily dependent on the facility personnel. It is not always the operation of the alert release remote controller.

The imaging unit 11 is arranged so that the monitoring area (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the living room (room) RM of the arrangement location) can be monitored, images are taken from above the monitoring area as an image pickup target, and the image pickup target is viewed from above. The image (image data) is generated, and the image to be imaged (target image) is output to the SU control processing unit 14a. Preferably, since it is highly probable that the entire monitored person Ob to be monitored can be imaged, the imaging unit 11 determines that the head of the monitored person Ob is located in the bedding (for example, a bed) on which the monitored person Ob lies. It is arranged so that the image pickup target can be imaged from directly above the planned preset head position (usually, the pillow arrangement position). The sensor device SUa acquires an image of the monitored person Ob from above the monitored person Ob, preferably an image taken from directly above the planned head position, by the imaging unit 11. Such an imaging unit 11 may be, for example, a visible camera that generates an image of visible light, but in the present embodiment, an infrared image is generated so that the monitored person Ob can be monitored even in a relatively dark place.

It includes a SU control program that controls each of them, a SU monitoring processing program that executes predetermined information processing related to monitoring of the monitored person Ob, and the like. The SU monitoring processing program detects a predetermined action in the monitored person Ob and notifies the detection result to the predetermined terminal devices SP and TAa via the management server device SVa as an example of the predetermined event (event). When the action detection processing program or the nurse call reception operation unit 13 receives the nurse call, the notification to that effect is notified to the predetermined terminal devices SP and TAa via the management server device SVa as another example of the predetermined event. A nurse call processing program that makes a voice call with the terminal devices SP and TAa by using the SU sound input / output unit 12 and the like, and a moving image generated by the imaging unit 11 to the terminal devices SP and TAa that requested the moving image. SU streaming processing programs and the like to be distributed by streaming are included. The various predetermined data include data necessary for executing each program, such as the sensor ID of the own machine and the communication address of the management server device SVa. Since the sensor device SUa is provided corresponding to the monitoring area, the sensor ID is a predetermined code string such as a living room name, a living room number, a monitored person name and a serial number of the monitored person Ob located in the living room RM. It may be. The SU storage unit 16a includes, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory) which is a non-volatile storage element, an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) which is a rewritable non-volatile storage element, and the like. The SU storage unit 16a includes a RAM (Random Access Memory) or the like that serves as a working memory of the so-called SU control processing unit 14a that stores data or the like generated during execution of the predetermined program.

The SU control processing unit 14a controls each unit 11 to 13, 15 and 16a of the sensor device SUa according to the function of each unit, and sends a predetermined event (event) related to the monitored person Ob to the management server device SVa. It is a circuit for notifying. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the SU control processing unit 14a detects a predetermined action in the monitored person Ob and notifies the management server device SVa of the detection result as an example of the predetermined event (notification, (Transmit), accept the nurse call, notify (notify, transmit) the nurse call to the management server device SVa as another example of the predetermined event, make a voice call with the terminal devices SP and TAa, and make a moving image. An image including the above is generated and the moving image is distributed to the terminal devices SP and TAa. The SU control processing unit 14a includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and peripheral circuits thereof. When the SU control processing program is executed, the SU control processing unit 14a includes a sensor side control unit (SU control unit) 141, an action detection processing unit 142, a nurse call processing unit 143, and a sensor side streaming processing unit (SU control unit). The SU streaming processing unit) 144 is functionally provided.

The action detection processing unit 142 detects a predetermined action set in advance in the monitored person Ob and notifies the management server device SVa of the detection result as an example of the predetermined event. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the predetermined actions include, for example, waking up when the monitored person Ob wakes up, getting out of bed when the monitored person Ob leaves the bedding, and falling when the monitored person Ob falls from the bedding. And, there are four actions of a fall in which the monitored person Ob has fallen. Then, the behavior detection processing unit 142 detects, for example, the head of the monitored person Ob based on the target image captured by the imaging unit 11, and changes the size of the detected head of the monitored person Ob over time. Based on this, the monitored person Ob is detected to get up, get out of bed, fall, and fall. More specifically, first, the location area of the bedding BD and the first to third threshold values Th1 to Th3 are stored in advance in the SU storage unit 16a as one of the various predetermined data. The first threshold value Th1 is a threshold value for discriminating between the size of the head in the lying posture and the size of the head in the sitting posture in the region where the bedding BD is located. The second threshold value Th2 is a threshold value for discriminating whether or not the size of the head is in a standing posture in the living room RM excluding the area where the bedding BD is located. The third threshold value Th3 is a threshold value for discriminating whether or not the size of the head in the lying posture in the living room RM excluding the area where the bedding BD is located. Then, the behavior detection processing unit 142 first extracts a moving object region from the target image as a region of the person of the monitored person Ob by, for example, the background subtraction method or the frame subtraction method. Next, the behavior detection processing unit 142 uses the extracted moving object region, for example, by Hough transform of a circle or an ellipse, by pattern matching using a head model prepared in advance, or for head detection, for example. The head region of the monitored person Ob is extracted by the neural network learned in. Then, the behavior detection processing unit 142 detects getting up, getting out of bed, falling, and falling from the extracted position and size of the head. For example, in the behavior detection processing unit 142, the position of the extracted head is within the location region of the bedding BD, and the size of the extracted head is the size of the lying posture by using the first threshold Th1. When the size of the sitting posture changes with time, it is determined that the person has woken up, and the wake-up is detected. For example, in the behavior detection processing unit 142, the position of the extracted head changes with time from the inside of the bedding BD location area to the outside of the bedding location area, and the size of the extracted head is the second size. When the time changes from a certain size to the size of the standing posture by using the threshold value Th2, it is determined that the person has left the bed and the person has left the bed. For example, in the behavior detection processing unit 142, when the position of the extracted head changes from the inside of the location area of the bedding BD to the outside of the location area of the bedding BD, the size of the extracted head is the first. When the time changes from a certain size to the size of the lying posture by using the three threshold value Th3, it is determined that the person has fallen, and the fall is detected. For example, in the behavior detection processing unit 142, the position of the extracted head is in the living room RM excluding the area where the bedding BD is located, and the size of the extracted head uses the third threshold value Th3. When the time changes from the size of the head to the size of the lying posture, it is determined that the person has fallen, and the fall is detected.

When the predetermined action is detected in this way, the action detection processing unit 142 notifies the event, which contains event information (event information) representing the content of the predetermined event (event) related to the monitored person Ob. The communication signal (first event notification communication signal) of the above is notified to the management server device SVa by the SU communication IF unit 15. More specifically, the action detection processing unit 142 sends the sensor ID of the own machine, the event information representing the content of the event, and the first event notification communication signal containing the target image used for detecting the predetermined action to the SU. It is transmitted to the management server device SVa via the communication IF unit 15. The event information is one or more of wake-up, wake-up, fall, fall and nurse call (NC) in the present embodiment, where the behavior detection processing unit 142 has detected wake-up, wake-up, fall and One or more of the falls are accommodated in the first event notification communication signal as the event information. The image may be at least one of a still image and a moving image. In the present embodiment, the still image is first notified, and the moving image is distributed according to the request of the operator. First, the moving image may be delivered, or the still image and the moving image may be transmitted, and the still image and the moving image may be displayed on the terminal devices SP and TAa by splitting the screen.

When the nurse call reception operation unit 13 receives the nurse call, the nurse call processing unit 143 notifies the management server device SVa of the first event notification communication signal accommodating the fact as another example of the predetermined event. A voice call is made between the terminal devices SP and TAa by using the SU sound input / output unit 12 and the like. More specifically, when the nurse call reception operation unit 13 is input-operated, the nurse call processing unit 143 performs SU communication with the sensor ID of the own machine and the first event notification communication signal accommodating the nurse call as the event information. It is transmitted to the management server device SVa via the IF unit 15. Then, the nurse call processing unit 143 uses the SU sound input / output unit 12 and the like to make a voice call with the terminal devices SP and TAa by, for example, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol).

When the SU streaming processing unit 144 receives a request for video distribution from the fixed terminal device SP or the mobile terminal device TAa via the SU communication IF unit 15, the SU streaming processing unit 144 receives the request for the fixed terminal device SP or the mobile terminal device TAa.

To do.

(Stop and unstop notification)
Here, in the following description, as an example, at the beginning, the mobile terminal device TAa-1 is provided with a worker ID by the worker NS-1 who carries the mobile terminal device TAa-1 at the time of login operation, for example. The "ID-NA" is input, the worker ID; "ID-NA" is stored in advance, and the mobile terminal device TAa-2 carries the mobile terminal device TAa-2, for example, during a login operation. It is assumed that the worker ID; "ID-NB" is input by the worker NS-2 and the worker ID; "ID-NB" is stored in advance. Then, the worker NS (NS-1, NS-2) is not present in the living room RM-1, and the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t11 stored in the SV entry / exit status information storage unit 234 shows. As shown on the left side of the paper in FIG. 7, it is assumed that the worker ID is not registered (stored) in the record for registering the sensor ID; "SU-1" in the sensor ID field 2341.

In the operation of the first embodiment relating to the suspension and cancellation of the notification, in FIG. 6, the worker NS-, for example, by notification of a predetermined event, or according to, for example, a nursing care plan or a long-term care plan, or, for example, a cleaning operation, etc. In No. 1, when entering (entering) the living room RM-1 (monitoring area) of the monitored person Ob-1, the portable terminal device TAa-1 carried by the person is provided corresponding to the living room RM-1. A reading operation is performed (C111) in which the sensor ID (second specific information) is read in close proximity to the ID device RDa-1.

When the mobile terminal device TAa-1 and the ID device RDa-1 are brought close to each other, the mobile terminal device TAa-1 is secondly specified from the ID device RDa-1 by the reading processing unit 325 of the TA control processing unit 32. The sensor ID; "SU-1" is read as information (C112).

Subsequently, the mobile terminal device TAa-1 takes out the worker ID; "ID-NA" stored in the worker ID information storage unit 332 of the TA storage unit 33 by the generation processing unit 326, and reads it by the processing C112. A communication signal (communicating signal) that generates linking information by linking the sensor ID; "SU-1" read by the processing unit 325 and the extracted worker ID; "ID-NA" with each other. The first ID notification communication signal) is generated to the management server device SVa, and the generated first ID notification communication signal is transmitted by the TA communication IF unit 31 (C113).

Upon receiving the first ID notification communication signal from the mobile terminal device TAa-1, the management server device SVa is subjected to the SV management processing unit 224a of the SV control processing unit 22a in order to process the entry / exit status of the worker NS to the living room RM. , The worker ID of the association information transmitted from the mobile terminal device TAa-1; "ID-NA" is managed (C114). More specifically, the SV management processing unit 224a first sets the sensor ID as the second specific information in the association information accommodated in the received first ID notification communication signal; "SU-1", and the SV entry / exit status. A record to be registered in the sensor ID field 2341 of the SV entry / exit status information table MTa stored in the information storage unit 234 is selected (searched). Next, the SV management processing unit 224a enters the worker ID field 2342 in the selected record as the worker ID as the first specific information in the association information accommodated in the received first ID notification communication signal; Check if "-NA" is registered. When the receiving worker ID; "ID-NA" is not registered in the worker ID field 2342 in the selected record, the SV management processing unit 224a has the worker ID field 2342 in the selected record. The reception worker ID; "ID-NA" is registered in. On the other hand, when the receiving worker ID; "ID-NA" is registered in the worker ID field 2342 in the selected record, the SV management processing unit 224a has the worker ID in the selected record. The worker ID is deleted (erased) from the field 2342.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, when the sensor ID; "SU-1" and the worker ID; "ID-NA" are received as the association information from the mobile terminal device TAa-1, they are stored in the SV entry / exit status information storage unit 234. In the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t11, the sensor ID of the received association information; the received association information is set in the worker ID field 2342 in the record for registering "SU-1" in the sensor ID field 2341. Since the worker ID; "ID-NA" of the above is not registered, the SV management processing unit 224a registers the receiving worker ID; "ID-NA" in the worker ID field 2342. As a result, the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t11 shown on the left side of the paper in FIG. 7 becomes the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t12 shown second from the left side of the paper, and the sensor ID; " The SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t12 in which the worker ID; "ID-NA" is registered is stored in the worker ID field 2342 in the record in which "SU-1" is registered in the sensor ID field 2341.

Subsequently, when the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t11 managed by the SV management processing unit 224a is updated to the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t12, the management server device SVa notifies the SV of the SV control processing unit 22a. The control unit 223a executes a process of controlling the notification of the event from the sensor device SUa (C115, notification control process (notification stop process)). More specifically, for each record of the SV entry / exit status information table MTa (here, for each record of the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t12), the SV notification control unit 223a first causes the worker of the record. When the worker ID is registered in the ID field 2342, the sensor ID registered in the sensor ID field 2341 of the record is stored in the inter-device information storage unit 232 of the notification destination correspondence information table AT. The record to be registered in the source field (sensor ID field) 2321 in the above is selected (searched) from the notification destination correspondence information table AT, and the notification permission / rejection flag “1” is set in the notification permission / rejection flag field 2323 of the selected record. On the other hand, when the worker ID is not registered in the worker ID field 2342 of the record, the SV notification control unit 223a sets the sensor ID registered in the sensor ID field 2341 of the record. A record to be registered in the source field (sensor ID field) 2321 in the notification destination correspondence information table AT stored in the inter-device information storage unit 232 is selected (searched) from the notification destination correspondence information table AT. The notification permission / rejection flag "0" is registered in the notification permission / rejection flag field 2323 of the selected record. By registering the notification permission / rejection flag "1", the notification at the time of notifying the predetermined terminal device SP and TAa of the predetermined event is stopped. On the other hand, by registering the notification permission / rejection flag "0", the suspension of the notification when notifying the predetermined terminal device SP and TAb of the predetermined event is released.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, in the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t12, the worker ID; “ID-NA” is set in the worker ID field 2342 in the record in which the sensor ID; “SU-1” is registered in the sensor ID field 2341. In the notification destination correspondence information table AT, the sensor ID; the notification permission / rejection flag in the notification permission / rejection flag field 2323 in the record for registering “SU-1” in the source field 2321; "1" is registered, and the notification of the predetermined event notified from the sensor device SUa-1 having the sensor ID; "SU-1" is stopped.

Subsequently, for example, when the worker NS-2 enters the living room RM-1 in which the worker NS-1 has entered, the worker NS-2 uses the portable terminal device TAa-2 carried by the worker NS-1 in the living room RM. A reading operation is performed in which the sensor ID (second specific information) is read by bringing the sensor ID (second specific information) close to the ID device RDa-1 provided corresponding to -1 (C121).

When the mobile terminal device TAa-2 and the ID device RDa-1 are close to each other, the mobile terminal device TAa-2 receives the sensor ID as the second specific information from the ID device RDa-1 in the same manner as the above-described processing C112. Read "SU-1" (C122).

Subsequently, the mobile terminal device TAa-2 takes out the stored worker ID; "ID-NB" and reads the sensor ID; "ID-NB" by the reading processing unit 325 in the processing C112, similarly to the processing C113 described above. The "SU-1" and the extracted worker ID; "ID-NB" are linked to each other to generate the linking information, and the first ID notification communication signal accommodating the linking information is transmitted to the management server device SVa. (C123).

Upon receiving the first ID notification communication signal from the mobile terminal device TAa-2, the management server device SVa receives the association information transmitted from the mobile terminal device TAa-2 by the SV management processing unit 224a in the same manner as the above-mentioned processing C114. Worker ID; "ID-NB" is managed (C124). More specifically, the SV management processing unit 224a sets the sensor ID of the association information accommodated in the received first ID notification communication signal; "SU-1" to the sensor ID field 2341 of the SV entry / exit status information table MTa. The record to be registered in is selected (searched), and the worker ID of the association information stored in the received first ID notification communication signal; "ID-NB" is registered in the worker ID field 2342 in the selected record. Check if it is done. Here, as shown second from the left on the page of FIG. 7, the receiving worker ID; "ID" is set in the worker ID field 2342 in the record in which the sensor ID: "SU-1" is registered in the sensor ID field 2341. Since "-NB" is not registered, the SV management processing unit 224a registers the receiving worker ID; "ID-NB" in the worker ID field 2342. As a result, the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t12 shown second from the left on the paper in FIG. 7 becomes the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t13 shown in the center of the paper, and the sensor ID; " The SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t13 in which the worker ID; "ID-NA, ID-NB" is registered is stored in the worker ID field 2342 in the record in which "SU-1" is registered in the sensor ID field 2341.

Subsequently, when the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t12 managed by the SV management processing unit 224a is updated to the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t13, the management server device SVa performs the same as the above-mentioned processing C115. The SV notification control unit 223a executes a process of controlling event notification from the sensor device SUa (C125, notification control process (notification stop process)). In the example shown in FIG. 7, in the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t13, the worker ID; “ID-NA” is set in the worker ID field 2342 in the record in which the sensor ID; “SU-1” is registered in the sensor ID field 2341. , ID-NB ”is registered, so by the above operation, in the notification destination correspondence information table AT, the notification permission / rejection flag field 2323 in the record in which the sensor ID;“ SU-1 ”is registered in the source field 2321 The notification permission / rejection flag; "1" is registered, and the notification of the predetermined event notified from the sensor device SUb-1 having the sensor ID; "SU-1" is stopped.

Then, for example, due to the end of the work, the worker NS-1 who is in the living room RM-1 corresponds to the living room RM with the portable terminal device TAa-1 which he / she carries when he / she leaves. (C131), the sensor ID (second specific information) is read in close proximity to the ID device RDa-1 provided.

When the mobile terminal device TAa-1 and the ID device RDa-1 are close to each other, the mobile terminal device TAa-1 has a sensor ID as the second specific information from the ID device RDa-1 as in the above-described processing C112. Read "SU-1" (C132).

Subsequently, the mobile terminal device TAa-1 takes out the stored worker ID; "ID-NA" and reads the sensor ID; "ID-NA" by the reading processing unit 325 in the processing C132, similarly to the processing C113 described above. The "SU-1" and the extracted worker ID; "ID-NA" are linked to each other to generate the linking information, and the first ID notification communication signal accommodating the linking information is transmitted to the management server device SVa. (C133).

Upon receiving the first ID notification communication signal from the mobile terminal device TAa-1, the management server device SVa receives the association information transmitted from the mobile terminal device TAa-1 by the SV management processing unit 224a in the same manner as the above-mentioned processing C114. Worker ID; "ID-NA" is managed (C134). More specifically, the SV management processing unit 224a sets the sensor ID; "SU-1" of the association information accommodated in the received first ID notification communication signal to the sensor ID field 2341 of the SV entry / exit status information table MTa. The record to be registered in is selected (searched), and the worker ID of the linking information stored in the received first ID notification communication signal; "ID-NA" is registered in the worker ID field 2342 in the selected record. Check if it is done. Here, as shown in the center of the paper in FIG. 7, the worker ID; "ID-NA, ID-NB" is set in the worker ID field 2342 in the record in which the sensor ID: "SU-1" is registered in the sensor ID field 2341. Is registered, and therefore the received worker ID; “ID-NA” is already registered, so that the worker ID; “ID-NA” is deleted from the worker ID field 2342 in the selected record ( to erase. As a result, the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t13 shown in the center of the paper in FIG. 7 becomes the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t14 shown second from the right on the paper, and the sensor ID; " The SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t14 in which the worker ID; "ID-NB" is registered is stored in the worker ID field 2342 in the record in which "SU-1" is registered in the sensor ID field 2341.

Subsequently, when the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t13 managed by the SV management processing unit 224a is updated to the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t14, the management server device SVa performs the same as the above-mentioned processing C115. The SV notification control unit 223a executes a process of controlling event notification from the sensor device SUa (C135, notification control process (notification stop process)). In the example shown in FIG. 7, in the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t14, the worker ID; “ID-NB” is set in the worker ID field 2342 in the record in which the sensor ID; “SU-1” is registered in the sensor ID field 2341. In the notification destination correspondence information table AT, the sensor ID; the notification permission / rejection flag in the notification permission / rejection flag field 2323 in the record for registering “SU-1” in the source field 2321; "1" is registered, and the notification of the predetermined event notified from the sensor device SUa-1 having the sensor ID; "SU-1" is stopped.

Then, for example, when the worker NS-2 who is in the living room RM-1 due to the end of the work or the like leaves the living room RM-1, the portable terminal device TAa-2 carried by the worker NS-2 is changed to the living room RM-. A reading operation is performed in which the sensor ID (second specific information) is read by bringing the sensor ID (second specific information) close to the ID device RDa-1 provided corresponding to 1 (C141).

When the mobile terminal device TAa-2 and the ID device RDa-1 are close to each other, the mobile terminal device TAa-2 receives the sensor ID as the second specific information from the ID device RDa-1 in the same manner as the above-described processing C112. Read "SU-1" (C142).

Subsequently, the mobile terminal device TAa-2 takes out the stored worker ID; "ID-NB" and reads the sensor ID; "ID-NB" by the reading processing unit 325 in the processing C142, similarly to the above-mentioned processing C113. The "SU-1" and the extracted worker ID; "ID-NB" are linked to each other to generate the linking information, and the first ID notification communication signal accommodating the linking information is transmitted to the management server device SVa. (C143).

Upon receiving the first ID notification communication signal from the mobile terminal device TAa-2, the management server device SVa receives the association information transmitted from the mobile terminal device TAa-2 by the SV management processing unit 224a in the same manner as the above-mentioned processing C114. Worker ID; "ID-NB" is managed (C144). More specifically, the SV management processing unit 224a sets the sensor ID of the association information accommodated in the received first ID notification communication signal; "SU-1" to the sensor ID field 2341 of the SV entry / exit status information table MTa. The record to be registered in is selected (searched), and the worker ID of the association information stored in the received first ID notification communication signal; "ID-NB" is registered in the worker ID field 2342 in the selected record. Check if it is done. Here, as shown second from the right on the page of FIG. 7, the worker ID; "ID-NB" is set in the worker ID field 2342 in the record in which the sensor ID: "SU-1" is registered in the sensor ID field 2341. Is registered, and therefore the received worker ID; "ID-NB" is already registered, so that the worker ID; "ID-NB" is deleted (erased) from the worker ID field 2342 in the selected record. ). As a result, the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t14 shown on the right side of the paper in FIG. 7 becomes the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t15 shown on the right side of the paper, and the sensor ID; " The SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t15 in which the worker ID is not registered is stored in the worker ID field 2342 in the record in which "SU-1" is registered in the sensor ID field 2341.

Subsequently, when the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t14 managed by the SV management processing unit 224a is updated to the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t15, the management server device SVa performs the same as the above-mentioned processing C115. The SV notification control unit 223a executes a process of controlling event notification from the sensor device SUa (C145, notification control process (notification stop release process)). In the example shown in FIG. 7, in the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t15, the worker ID is not registered in the worker ID field 2342 in the record for registering the sensor ID; “SU-1” in the sensor ID field 2341. Therefore, by the above operation, the notification permission / rejection flag; “0” is registered in the notification permission / rejection flag field 2323 in the record in which the sensor ID; “SU-1” is registered in the source field 2321 in the notification destination correspondence information table AT. , Sensor ID; The suspension of notification of a predetermined event notified from the sensor device SUa-1 having "SU-1" is released.

As can be seen from the above, the monitored person monitoring support system MSa of the present embodiment can be used by workers even when a plurality of worker NSs enter (enter) the same monitoring area (in the above-mentioned living room RM) with a time lag. Since the entry / exit of the worker NS to the monitoring area is managed by the ID, for example, when Mr. NB enters the same room RM after Mr. NA enters the room, the entry of Mr. NB is mistaken as the exit of Mr. NA. , There is no misunderstanding of the worker NS who entered and exited.

In the above, the worker NS-2 is not in the living room RM-1 in which the worker NS-1 is located, but in a living room RM-2 (sensor ID; "SU-2") different from the living room RM-1. When entering the room, the same operation as described above results in the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t12 shown second from the left on the paper in FIG. 7 to the SV entry / exit status information table MTa-t16 shown in FIG. That is, in this case, as shown in FIG. 8, the worker ID; “ID-NA” is registered in the worker ID field 2342 in the record in which the sensor ID: “SU-1” is registered in the sensor ID field 2341. At the same time, the worker ID; "ID-NB" is registered in the worker ID field 2342 in the record in which the sensor ID: "SU-2" is registered in the sensor ID field 2341. Therefore, in the notification destination correspondence information table AT, the notification permission / rejection flag; “1” is registered in the notification permission / rejection flag field 2323 in the record in which the sensor ID; “SU-1” is registered in the source field 2321, and the sensor is registered. ID; Notification permission / rejection flag in the record for registering "SU-2" in the source field 2321 Notification permission / rejection flag; "1" is registered in the field 2323. Therefore, the notification of the predetermined event notified from the sensor device SUa-1 having the sensor ID; "SU-1" is stopped, and the notification is notified from the sensor device SUa-2 having the sensor ID; "SU-2". Notification of a predetermined event is stopped.

The monitored person monitoring support system MSb operates in this way with respect to the suspension and cancellation of the notification.

(Event notification)
First, the notification permission / rejection flag corresponding to the sensor device SUa of the transmission source that transmitted the first event notification communication signal is set to the notification permission / rejection flag "0" by the above operation because the worker NS is not present in the living room RM. Will be described.

In the operation related to the notification of the predetermined event in such a case, in FIG. 9, when the sensor device SUa detects the predetermined event (C11), the first event notification communication signal is used to notify the predetermined event. Is transmitted to the management server device SVa (C12).

More specifically, the sensor device SUa detects a predetermined event in the monitored person Ob by operating as follows for each frame or every few frames, and the first event notification communication signal. Is transmitted to the management server device SVa. First, the sensor device SUa acquires an image (image data) for one frame from the imaging unit 11 as a target image, detects a predetermined action in the monitored person Ob based on the acquired target image, and determines the predetermined action. When an action is detected, in order to notify the predetermined terminal device SP and TAa of the detection result, a first event notification communication signal for detecting the predetermined action, which accommodates the predetermined action detected as the event information. Is transmitted to the management server device SVa. During the operation in this way, the sensor device SUa determines whether or not the nurse call is being accepted, and when the nurse call is accepted, the sensor device SUa notifies the predetermined terminal devices SP and TAa of the acceptance of the nurse call. In addition, the sensor device SUa transmits the first event notification communication signal related to the reception of the nurse call, which accommodates the received nurse call as the event information, to the management server device SVa.

When the first event notification communication signal is received from the sensor device SUa, the management server device SVa is accommodated in the received first event notification communication signal by the SV monitoring processing unit 222 of the SV control processing unit 22a. The monitoring information related to the monitoring of the Ob is stored (recorded) in the SV monitoring information storage unit 231 (C13).

Subsequently, the management server device SVa checks the necessity of notification by the SV monitoring processing unit 222 of the SV control processing unit 22a (C14). More specifically, the SV monitoring processing unit 222 takes out the sensor ID contained in the received first event notification communication signal, and notifies the notification destination of the record in which the taken out sensor ID is registered in the source field 2321. It is selected (searched) from the correspondence information table AT, and the terminal ID of the notification destination and the notification permission / rejection flag are extracted from each of the notification destination field 2322 and the notification permission / rejection flag field 2323 in this selected record. By referring to this extracted notification permission / rejection flag, the necessity of notification can be checked.

Here, since the extracted notification permission / rejection flag is "0", the SV monitoring processing unit 222 subsequently notifies the second event notification to the terminal device SP, TAa having the terminal ID of the extracted notification destination. A communication signal is generated, and the generated second event notification communication signal is transmitted by the SV communication IF unit 21 (C15). When the worker NS is not present in the living room RM in this way, a predetermined event detected by the sensor device SUa is transmitted to the predetermined terminal devices SP and TAa via the management server device SVa, as follows. It is displayed on the terminal device SP, TAa.

When the second event notification communication signal is received from the management server device SVa, the terminal devices SP and TAa monitor the monitored person Ob based on each information (each data) stored in the received second event notification communication signal. The information is stored (recorded) in the TA monitoring information storage unit 331, and the screen corresponding to each information stored in the received second event notification communication signal is displayed on the TA display unit 36 (C16).

For example, to explain typically the case of the mobile terminal device TAa, when the mobile terminal device TAa is logged in, for example, the standby screen 51 shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the TA display unit 36, and the received second event notification communication signal is displayed. When the accommodated event information is the predetermined action, for example, the monitoring information screen 52 shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the TA display unit 36, while being accommodated in the received second event notification communication signal. When the event information is the nurse call, for example, the nurse call reception screen 53 shown in FIG. 12 is displayed on the TA display unit 36.

The standby screen 51 of the example shown in FIG. 10 includes a menu bar area 511 for displaying a menu bar, a standby main area 512 for displaying a message (for example, "no notification") and an icon indicating that the device is in standby. The time area 513 for displaying the current time, the year / month / Sunday area 514 for displaying today's date, and the observer name area 515 for displaying the name of the observer who is currently logged in to the mobile terminal device TAa. Be prepared.

The monitoring information screen 52 is a screen for displaying the monitoring information regarding the monitoring of the monitored person Ob. The monitoring information screen 52 of the example shown in FIG. 11 shows the menu bar area 511, the location of the sensor device SUa having the sensor ID accommodated in the received second event notification communication signal, and the sensor ID. The monitored person name area 521 that displays the name of the monitored person Ob monitored by the sensor device SUa, the elapsed time from the reception time of the received second event notification communication signal, and the received second event notification. It has a detection information display area 522 that displays the event information (detection result of the predetermined action) accommodated in the communication signal, and an image (that is, the sensor ID) accommodated in the received second event notification communication signal. It includes an image area 523 for displaying a target image captured by the sensor device SUa (still image in this case), a "corresponding" button 524, a "speak" button 525, and a "view LIVE" button 526. ..

Information in which the sensor ID, the location of the sensor device SUa, and the name of the monitored person Ob are associated with each other in order to display the location of the sensor device SUa and the name of the monitored person Ob in the monitored person name area 521. (Sensor information) is stored in the TA storage unit 33. In the detection information display area 522, the event information (detection result, each name of getting up, getting out of bed, falling, and falling in the present embodiment) stored in the received second event notification communication signal may be displayed as it is. However, in the present embodiment, it is displayed by an icon symbolically representing the detection result. In order to display with this icon, each action and an icon symbolically representing the action are associated with each other and stored in advance in the TA storage unit 33. In the example shown in FIG. 11, a wake-up icon symbolically representing wake-up is displayed in the detection information display area 522. On the monitoring information screen 52, the "corresponding" button 524 implements a predetermined response (countermeasure, treatment, measure) such as lifesaving, nursing, nursing care, and assistance to the detection result displayed on the monitoring information screen 52. This is a button for inputting to the mobile terminal device TAa that the intention is in the worker NS of the mobile terminal device TAa. The "speak" button 525 is a button for requesting a voice call, and is for inputting an instruction for connecting the sensor device SUa of the sensor ID and the mobile terminal device TAa so as to be able to make a call via the network NW. Button. The "view LIVE" button 526 is a button for requesting a live moving image, and is a button for inputting an instruction to display a moving image captured by the sensor device SUa of the sensor ID.

The nurse call reception screen 53 is a screen for displaying the reception of the nurse call. The nurse call reception screen 53 of the example shown in FIG. 11 has a menu bar area 511, a monitored person name area 521, a detection information display area 522, and a message indicating that the nurse call has been accepted (for example, "nurse call". A nurse call reception notification display area 531 for displaying "), a" corresponding "button 524, and a" speaking "button 525 are provided. On the nurse call reception screen 53, only the elapsed time from the reception time of the received second event notification communication signal is displayed in the detection information display area 522. The nurse call reception screen 53 may further include a "view LIVE" button 526.

Then, while the monitoring information screen 52 and the nurse call reception screen 53 are being displayed, the mobile terminal device TAa is input by the TA control processing unit 32 with a touch panel including the TA input unit 35 and the TA display unit 36. It is repeatedly determined whether or not the input operation is accepted until the input operation is accepted. Upon receiving the input operation, the mobile terminal device TAa executes an appropriate process according to the content of the input operation by the TA control processing unit 32a, ends this processing, and displays the standby screen 51 on the TA display unit 36. Display and wait for the next communication signal addressed to your device.

For example, when the input operation of the "corresponding" button 524 is received, the TA control processing unit 32 receives the terminal ID of the own machine and the sensor ID corresponding to the monitoring information of the monitored person Ob displayed on the TA display unit 36. A communication signal (corresponding intention notification communication signal) containing event information and information indicating that "corresponding" has been accepted (corresponding intention information) is transmitted to the management server device SVa. The management server device SVa that has received the corresponding intention notification communication signal first stores the corresponding intention information in the SV monitoring information storage unit 231 by the SV control processing unit 22a, and each terminal device indicates that "correspondence" has been accepted. In order to synchronize between the SP and TAa, the sensor ID, event information, and communication signal (corresponding intention well-known communication signal) contained in the received corresponding intention notification communication signal are broadcast to the terminal device. Send to SP and TAa.

Further, for example, when the input operation of the "speak" button 525 is received, the call processing unit 323 requests the sensor device SUa that monitors the monitored person Ob displayed on the TA display unit 36 to make a voice call. A communication signal (call request communication signal) accommodating the information is transmitted, and the sensor device SUa corresponding to the communication signal is connected to the sensor device SUa via the network NW so that a voice call can be made. As a result, a voice call can be made between the mobile terminal device TAa and the sensor device SUa.

Further, for example, when the input operation of the "view LIVE" button 526 is received, the TA streaming processing unit 324 sends the sensor device SUa that monitors the monitored person Ob currently displayed on the TA display unit 36 live. A communication signal (video distribution request communication signal) containing information such as requesting video distribution is transmitted, and the sensor device SUa corresponding to the communication signal is connected to the sensor device so that the video can be downloaded via the network NW. A live video is delivered from SUa, and the delivered video is displayed on the TA display unit 36 by streaming playback.

During these calls and streaming playback, the "End" button shown in the figure is displayed, and the call and streaming playback are terminated by the input operation of the "End" button.

Returning to FIG. 9, next, the notification permission / rejection flag corresponding to the sensor device SUa of the transmission source that transmitted the first event notification communication signal is set as described above because the worker NS is present in the living room RM. The case where the notification permission / rejection flag is “1” will be described.

In the operation related to the notification of the predetermined event in such a case, in FIG. 9, when the sensor device SUa detects the predetermined event (C21) in the same manner as the above-mentioned processes C11 and C12, the predetermined event The first event notification communication signal is transmitted to the management server device SVa (C22) in order to notify.

When the first event notification communication signal is received from the sensor device SUa, the management server device SVa is accommodated in the received first event notification communication signal by the SV monitoring processing unit 222 in the same manner as the above-described processing C13. The monitoring information related to the monitoring of the observer Ob is stored (recorded) in the SV monitoring information storage unit 231 (C23).

Subsequently, the management server device SVa checks the necessity of notification by the SV monitoring processing unit 222 in the same manner as the above-mentioned processing C14 (C24).

Here, since the extracted notification permission / rejection flag is “1”, the SV monitoring processing unit 222 ends the processing without generating the second event notification communication signal. When the worker NS is present in the living room RM in this way, even if a predetermined event detected by the sensor device SUa is notified to the management server device SVa, the management server device SVa receives the first first. The second event notification communication signal caused by the event notification communication signal is not transmitted to the predetermined terminal device SP, TAa, and the predetermined event detected by the sensor device SUa is not displayed by the predetermined terminal device SP, TAa. ..

The monitored person monitoring support system MSa operates in this way with respect to the notification of the predetermined event.

In the above description, in order to leave a log, the monitoring information notified by the first event notification communication signal is stored in the SV monitoring information storage unit 231 regardless of the necessity of notification, but it depends on the necessity of notification. The monitoring information notified by the first event notification communication signal may be stored in the SV monitoring information storage unit 231. That is, when the second event notification communication signal is transmitted, the monitoring information notified by the first event notification communication signal is stored in the SV monitoring information storage unit 231, and when the second event notification communication signal is not transmitted, , The monitoring information notified by the first event notification communication signal is not stored in the SV monitoring information storage unit 231.

As described above, the monitored person monitoring support system MSa and the monitored person monitoring support method implemented in the first embodiment are the first of the worker NS when the worker NS enters the monitoring area. 1 Specific information and one of the second specific information of the monitoring area, in the present embodiment, the second specific information of the monitoring area (sensor ID (monitoring area ID)) is read by the reading processing unit of the mobile terminal device TAa. When the specific information of one of the above is read by reading with 325, the other specific information held in advance, the first specific information (worker ID) of the worker NS and the read monitoring area in the present embodiment The generation processing unit 326 generates the association information in which the second specific information is associated with each other, and the generation processing unit 326 notifies the management server device SVa of the generated association information. Then, the monitored person monitoring support system MSa and the monitored person monitoring support method manage the first specific information by the SV management processing unit 224a based on the notified association information, and are managed. When the first specific information is present, the monitoring area in which the second specific information used when the generation processing unit 326 generates the association information of the first specific information is read by the reading processing unit 325. The notification of the detection is stopped. Therefore, the monitored person monitoring support system MSa and the monitored person monitoring support method can stop the monitoring function by a relatively simple operation called a reading operation by the worker NS, and the monitored person monitoring support system MSa and the monitored person can be stopped. The observer monitoring support method stops the notification of the detection in the monitoring area where the second specific information is read by the reading processing unit 325, so that the desired monitored person (monitoring area) is reliably monitored. You can stop the function. The monitored person monitoring support system MSa and the monitored person monitoring support method stop the notification of detection in the monitoring area when there is the first specific information under control, so that the monitoring function is performed by the entry of the worker NS. Can be stopped, and the monitoring function will not be stopped due to the entry of outsiders. Therefore, the monitored person monitoring support system MSa and the monitored person monitoring support method can control the stoppage of the monitoring function according to the entry of the worker NS.

The monitored person monitoring support system MSa and the monitored person monitoring support method are described in the first specific identification when the mobile terminal device TAa further notifies the association information of the first specific information (worker ID) under control. It is presumed that the information worker NS has left the monitoring area (living room RM), and the management of the first specific information under the control is released. Then, in the monitored person monitoring support system MSa and the monitored person monitoring support method, when the first specific information managed by the SV management processing unit 224a disappears, that is, the worker NS is in the monitoring area. When the user disappears, the suspension of the detection notification in the monitoring area is released. Therefore, the monitored person monitoring support system MSa and the monitored person monitoring support method can release the suspension of the monitoring function by a relatively simple operation of reading again by the worker NS.

Next, another embodiment will be described.

The unit is provided in the management server device SVb.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 15 is a sequence diagram showing, as an example, the operation of the second embodiment regarding the stop and release of the notification in the monitored person monitoring support system. FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the SU entry / exit status information table in the operation shown in FIG. In FIG. 16, each SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t21, MTb-t22, MTb-t23, MTb-t24 of each of time t21, time t22, time t23, time t24 and time t25 is shown in this order from the left side of the paper to the right side of the paper. , MTb-t25 are shown.

In the monitored person monitoring support system MSb having the above configuration, each device SUb, SVb, SP, and TAb executes necessary initialization of each part when the power is turned on, and starts its operation. In the sensor device SUb, by executing the SU control processing program, the SU control processing unit 14b includes the SU control unit 141, the action detection processing unit 142, the nurse call processing unit 143, the SU streaming processing unit 144, and the SU management processing unit 145b. And the SU notification control unit 146 is functionally configured. In the management server device SVb, the SV control processing unit 22b is functionally configured with the SV control unit 221 and the SV monitoring processing unit 222, the SV notification control unit 223b, and the SV management processing unit 224b by executing the SV control processing program. Will be done. The mobile terminal device TAb is the same as the first embodiment.

Hereinafter, the operation of the second embodiment relating to the stop and release of the notification in the monitored person monitoring support system MSb will be described. Since the operation related to the notification of the predetermined event in the monitored person monitoring support system MSb is the same as the operation related to the notification of the predetermined event in the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

Here, in the following description, as an example, at the beginning, for example, at the time of login operation, the worker ID; "ID-NA" is input to the mobile terminal device TAb-1 carried by the worker NS-1. The worker ID; "ID-NA" is stored in advance, and the worker ID; "ID-NB" is input to the mobile terminal device TAb-2 carried by the worker NS-2, and the worker ID; It is assumed that "ID-NB" is stored in advance. Then, the living room RM to which each of the workers NS-1 and NS-2 intends to enter and leave the room, for example, the living room RM-1 managed by the sensor device SUc-1 having the sensor ID; "SU-1" It is assumed that the worker NS is not present in the room and the worker ID is not stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161.

In the operation of the second embodiment relating to the stop and release of the notification, in FIG. 15, when the worker NS-1 enters the room RM-1 of the monitored person Ob, for example, for the purpose of use, the worker NS-1 is used. The mobile terminal device TAb-1 that is carried is brought close to the ID device RDb-1 provided corresponding to the living room RM-1, and a reading operation is performed to read the sensor ID (second specific information) (C211). ).

When the mobile terminal device TAb-1 and the ID device RDb-1 are close to each other, the mobile terminal device TAb-1 is subjected to the ID device RDb-1 by the reading processing unit 325, as in the process C112 of the first embodiment. The sensor ID; "SU-1" is read as the second specific information from (C212), and then the sensor ID; "SU-1" and the worker ID; "ID-" are similarly obtained as in the process C113 of the first embodiment. The association information with "NA" is generated to generate the first ID notification communication signal, and the generated ID notification communication signal is transmitted to the management server device SVb (C213).

When the first ID notification communication signal is received from the mobile terminal device TAb-1, the management server device SVb relays (transfers) from the mobile terminal device TAb-1 by the SV management processing unit 224b of the SV control processing unit 22b. The transmitted association information is relayed (transferred) to a predetermined sensor device SUb (C214). More specifically, the SV management processing unit 224b has a sensor device SUb-1 having a sensor ID as the second specific information in the associated information accommodated in the received first ID notification communication signal; "SU-1". A second ID notification communication signal accommodating the association information accommodated in the received first ID notification communication signal is generated, and the generated second ID notification communication signal is transmitted to the address.

Upon receiving the notification of the association information from the management server device SVb by the second ID notification communication signal, the sensor device SUb receives the SU of the SU control processing unit 14b in order to process the entry / exit status of the worker NS with respect to the living room RM-1. The management processing unit 145b manages the worker ID; "ID-NA" of the association information notified from the management server device SVb (C215). More specifically, in the SU management processing unit 145b, the worker ID of the notified association information is stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161 in the worker ID field 1611 of the SU entry / exit status information table MTb. If it is not registered in, a new record is generated, and the worker ID of the notified association information is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the newly generated record. On the other hand, when the worker ID of the notified association information is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the SU entry / exit status information table MTb stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161, the notification Delete the record that registers the worker ID of the linked information (delete the worker ID from the worker ID field).

In the example shown in FIG. 16, when the sensor ID; "SU-1" and the worker ID; "ID-NA" are received as the association information from the management server device SVb, they are stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. Since the worker ID; "ID-NA" of the received association information is not registered in the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t21, the SU management processing unit 145b generates a new record and newly creates a new record. The worker ID of the notified association information; "ID-NA" is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the generated record. As a result, the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t21 shown on the left side of the paper in FIG. 16 becomes the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t22 shown second from the left side of the paper, and the worker ID field is stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. The SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t22 in which the worker ID; "ID-NA" is registered in 1611 is stored.

Subsequently, when the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t21 managed by the SU management processing unit 145b is updated to the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t22, the SU entry / exit status information managed by the SU management processing unit 145b is updated. Since the table MTb has the worker ID; "ID-NA", the sensor device SUb manages the stop instruction notification communication signal by the SU notification control unit 146 of the SU control processing unit 14b in order to notify the stop instruction. It is transmitted to the server device SVb (C216). More specifically, the SU notification control unit 146 generates a stop instruction notification communication signal containing the sensor ID; "SU-1" of the own machine and the stop command to the management server device SVb, and the generated stop instruction. The notification communication signal is transmitted by the SU communication IF unit 15.

Upon receiving the stop instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUb, the management server device SVb executes a process of controlling the event notification from the sensor device SUb by the SV notification control unit 223b of the SV control processing unit 22b (C217). , Notification control processing (notification stop processing)). More specifically, since the SV notification control unit 223b has received the stop instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUb-1, the sensor ID included in the received stop instruction notification communication signal; "SU-1". And a stop command is taken out, and a record for registering the taken-out sensor ID; "SU-1" in the source field 2321 is selected (searched) from the notification destination correspondence information table AT, and the notification permission / rejection flag in this selected record is selected. The notification permission / rejection flag "1" is registered in the field 2323 according to the taken out stop command. As a result, the notification when notifying the predetermined terminal device SP and TAb of the predetermined event is stopped.

Subsequently, for example, when the worker NS-2 enters the living room RM-1 in which the worker NS-1 has entered, the worker NS-2 uses the portable terminal device TAb-2 carried by the worker NS-1 in the living room RM. A reading operation is performed in which the sensor ID (second specific information) is read by approaching the ID device RDb-1 provided corresponding to -1 (C221).

When the mobile terminal device TAb-2 and the ID device RDb-1 are close to each other, the mobile terminal device TAb-2 has a sensor ID from the ID device RDb-1; as in the process C112 of the first embodiment. "SU-1" is read (C222), and subsequently, as in the process C113 of the first embodiment, the association information of the sensor ID; "SU-1" and the worker ID; "ID-NB" is generated. The first ID notification communication signal is generated and transmitted to the management server device SVb (C223).

When the first ID notification communication signal is received from the mobile terminal device TAb-2, the management server device SVb relays the sensor ID of the association information accommodated in the received first ID notification communication signal; "SU-1". A second ID notification communication signal accommodating the association information is generated and transmitted to the sensor device SUb-1 having the above (C224).

Upon receiving the notification of the association information from the management server device SVb by the second ID notification communication signal, the sensor device SUb performs the same as the above-mentioned process C215 in order to process the entry / exit status of the worker NS with respect to the living room RM-1. , The worker ID of the association information notified from the management server device SVb; "ID-NB" is managed (C225). In the example shown in FIG. 16, when the sensor ID; "SU-1" and the worker ID; "ID-NB" are received as the association information from the management server device SVb, they are stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. Since the worker ID; "ID-NB" of the received association information is not registered in the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t22, the SU management processing unit 145b generates a new record and newly creates a new record. The worker ID of the notified association information; "ID-NB" is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the generated record. As a result, the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t22 shown second from the left on the paper in FIG. 16 becomes the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t23 shown in the center of the paper, and the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161 has a worker ID field. The SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t23 in which the worker ID; “ID-NA” and “ID-NB” are registered in 1611 is stored.

Subsequently, when the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t22 managed by the SU management processing unit 145b is updated to the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t23, the SU entry / exit status information managed by the SU management processing unit 145b is updated. Since the table MTb has the worker IDs; "ID-NA" and "ID-NB", the sensor device SUb, in order to notify the stop instruction, similarly to the above-mentioned process C216, the sensor ID of the own machine; A stop instruction notification communication signal including "SU-1" and a stop command is transmitted to the management server device SVb (C226).

Upon receiving the stop instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUb, the management server device SVb executes a process of controlling the notification of the event from the sensor device SUb (C227, notification control process (notification stop process)). More specifically, since the SV notification control unit 223b has received the stop instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUb-1, the sensor ID included in the received stop instruction notification communication signal; "SU-1". And a stop command is taken out, and a record for registering the taken-out sensor ID; "SU-1" in the source field 2321 is selected (searched) from the notification destination correspondence information table AT, and the notification permission / rejection flag in this selected record is selected. The notification permission / rejection flag "1" is registered in the field 2323 according to the taken out stop command. As a result, the notification when notifying the predetermined terminal device SP and TAb of the predetermined event is stopped.

Then, for example, due to the end of the work, the worker NS-1 who is present in the living room RM-1 uses the portable terminal device TAb-1 carried by the worker NS-1 when leaving the living room RM-1. A reading operation is performed in which the sensor ID (second specific information) is read by bringing the sensor ID (second specific information) close to the ID device RDb-1 provided corresponding to the above (C231).

When the mobile terminal device TAb-1 and the ID device RDb-1 are close to each other, the mobile terminal device TAb-1 has a sensor ID from the ID device RDb-1; as in the process C112 of the first embodiment. "SU-1" is read (C232), and subsequently, as in the process C113 of the first embodiment, the association information of the sensor ID; "SU-1" and the worker ID; "ID-NA" is generated. The first ID notification communication signal is generated and transmitted to the management server device SVb (C233).

When the first ID notification communication signal is received from the mobile terminal device TAb-1, the management server device SVb relays it, so that the SV management processing unit 224b receives the association information stored in the received first ID notification communication signal. A second ID notification communication signal accommodating the association information is generated and transmitted to the sensor device SUb-1 having the sensor ID; "SU-1" (C234).

Upon receiving the notification of the association information from the management server device SVb by the second ID notification communication signal, the sensor device SUb performs the same as the above-mentioned process C215 in order to process the entry / exit status of the worker NS with respect to the living room RM-1. , The worker ID of the association information notified from the management server device SVb; "ID-NA" is managed (C235). In the example shown in FIG. 16, when the sensor ID; "SU-1" and the worker ID; "ID-NA" are received as the association information from the management server device SVb, they are stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. In the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t23, the worker ID of the received association information; "ID-NA" has already been registered, so that the worker ID of the received association information; "ID-NA" Delete the record to register (delete the worker ID from the worker ID field 1611). As a result, the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t23 shown in the center of the paper in FIG. 16 becomes the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t24 shown second from the right side of the paper, and the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161 has a worker ID field. The SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t24 in which the worker ID; "ID-NB" is registered in 1611 is stored.

Subsequently, when the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t23 managed by the SU management processing unit 145b is updated to the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t24, the SU entry / exit status information managed by the SU management processing unit 145b is updated. Since the table MTb has the worker ID; "ID-NB", the sensor device SUb has the sensor ID; "SU-1" and "SU-1" of the own machine in the same manner as the above-mentioned process C216 in order to notify the stop instruction. A stop instruction notification communication signal accommodating the stop command is transmitted to the management server device SVb (C236).

Upon receiving the stop instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUb, the management server device SVb executes a process of controlling the notification of the event from the sensor device SUb (C237, notification control process (notification stop process)). More specifically, since the SV notification control unit 223b has received the stop instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUb-1, the sensor ID included in the received stop instruction notification communication signal; "SU-1". And a stop command is taken out, and a record for registering the taken-out sensor ID; "SU-1" in the source field 2321 is selected (searched) from the notification destination correspondence information table AT, and the notification permission / rejection flag in this selected record is selected. The notification permission / rejection flag "1" is registered in the field 2323 according to the taken out stop command. As a result, the notification when notifying the predetermined terminal device SP and TAb of the predetermined event is stopped.

Then, for example, due to the end of the work, the worker NS-2 who is present in the living room RM-1 uses the portable terminal device TAb-2 carried by the worker NS-2 when leaving the living room RM-1. (C241), the sensor ID (second specific information) is read by bringing the sensor ID (second specific information) close to the ID device RDb-1 provided corresponding to the above.

When the mobile terminal device TAb-2 and the ID device RDb-1 are close to each other, the mobile terminal device TAb-2 has a sensor ID from the ID device RDb-1; as in the process C112 of the first embodiment. "SU-1" is read (C242), and subsequently, as in the process C113 of the first embodiment, the association information of the sensor ID; "SU-1" and the worker ID; "ID-NB" is generated. The first ID notification communication signal is generated and transmitted to the management server device SVb (C243).

When the first ID notification communication signal is received from the mobile terminal device TAb-1, the management server device SVb relays it, so that the SV management processing unit 224b receives the association information stored in the received first ID notification communication signal. A second ID notification communication signal accommodating the association information is generated and transmitted to the sensor device SUb-1 having the sensor ID; "SU-1" (C244).

Upon receiving the notification of the association information from the management server device SVb by the second ID notification communication signal, the sensor device SUb performs the same as the above-mentioned process C215 in order to process the entry / exit status of the worker NS with respect to the living room RM-1. , The worker ID of the association information notified from the management server device SVb; "ID-NB" is managed (C245). In the example shown in FIG. 16, when the sensor ID; "SU-1" and the worker ID; "ID-NB" are received as the association information from the management server device SVb, they are stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. In the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t24, the worker ID of the received association information; "ID-NB" has already been registered, so that the SU management processing unit 145b has the notified worker ID; " Delete the record to register "ID-NB". As a result, the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t24 shown second from the right side of the paper in FIG. 16 becomes the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t25 shown on the right side of the paper, and the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161 has a worker ID; The record in which "ID-NB" is registered disappears, and the SU entry / exit status information table MTb in which no worker ID is registered is stored.

Subsequently, when the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t24 managed by the SU management processing unit 145b is updated to the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t25, the SU entry / exit status information managed by the SU management processing unit 145b is updated. Since there is no worker ID in the table MTb, the sensor device SUb sends the stop release instruction notification communication signal to the management server device SVb by the SU notification control unit 146 of the SU control processing unit 14b in order to notify the stop release instruction. Transmit (C246). More specifically, the SU notification control unit 146 generates a stop release instruction notification communication signal containing the sensor ID; "SU-1" of the own machine and the stop release command to the management server device SVb, and generates this. The SU communication IF unit 15 transmits a stop release instruction notification communication signal.

Upon receiving the stop release instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUb, the management server device SVb executes a process of controlling the event notification from the sensor device SUb by the SV notification control unit 223b of the SV control processing unit 22b. C247, notification control process (notification stop release process)). More specifically, since the SV notification control unit 223b has received the stop release instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUb-1, the sensor ID contained in the received stop release instruction notification communication signal; "SU-". 1 ”and the stop release command are taken out, and a record for registering the taken out sensor ID;“ SU-1 ”in the source field 2321 is selected (searched) from the notification destination correspondence information table AT, and the selected record is used. The notification permission / rejection flag "0" is registered in the notification permission / rejection flag field 2323 according to the taken-out stop release command. As a result, the suspension of the notification when notifying the predetermined terminal device SP and TAb of the predetermined event is released. That is, a predetermined event is notified to the predetermined terminal device SP and TAb.

As can be seen from the above, the monitored person monitoring support system MSb of the present embodiment has a worker NS even when a plurality of worker NSs enter (enter) the same monitoring area (in the above-mentioned living room RM) with a time lag. Since the entry / exit of the worker NS to the monitoring area is managed by the ID, for example, when the NB enters the same room RM after the NA enters the room, the entry of the NB is mistaken as the exit of the NA. , There is no misunderstanding of the worker NS who entered and exited.

The monitored person monitoring support system MSc operates in this way with respect to the suspension and cancellation of the notification.

As described above, the monitored person monitoring support system MSb in the second embodiment and the monitored person monitoring support method implemented therein are the monitored person monitoring support system MSa device and the monitored person monitoring in the first embodiment.

Since it is the same as the SU control unit 141, the action detection processing unit 142, the nurse call processing unit 143, the SU streaming processing unit 144, and the SU notification control unit 146 in the control processing unit 14b, the description thereof will be omitted.

The SU management processing unit 145c manages the first specific information (worker ID in the present embodiment) based on the detection result of the entrance / exit detection unit 17 and the association information notified from the management server device SVc. .. More specifically, when the SU management processing unit 145c is notified of the worker ID of the association information from the management server device SVc and the entrance / exit detection unit 17 detects the entrance, this The worker ID of the notified association information is registered in the worker ID field 1611 (see FIGS. 19 and 21 described later) of the SU entry / exit status information table MTc stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. If not, a new record is generated, and the worker ID of the notification is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the newly generated record. On the other hand, the SU management processing unit 145c is in the case where the worker ID of the association information is notified from the management server device SVc, and when the entry / exit detection unit 17 detects the exit, the notified string. When the worker ID of the attached information is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the SU entry / exit status information table MTc stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161, the worker ID of the notification is registered. The record to be deleted is deleted (the worker ID is deleted from the worker ID field 1611). In this way, the SU management processing unit 145c determines whether or not the worker ID is stored in the monitoring area based on the detection result of the entry / exit detection unit 17 and the association information notified from the management server device SVc. Manage the entry / exit status.

When the entry / exit detection unit 17 detects only entry, when the ID device RDc and the mobile terminal device TAC are close to each other and the management server device SVc notifies the worker ID of the association information, In the SU management processing unit 145c, the worker ID of the notified association information is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the SU entry / exit status information table MTc stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. In that case, the record for registering the worker ID of the notified association information may be deleted.

When the third embodiment is configured based on the first embodiment, the SU control processing unit 14c does not include the SU management processing unit 145c described above, so that the SU control processing unit 14c is an entry / exit detection unit. When the entry is detected by 17, the entry detection result is transferred (relayed and transmitted) to the management server device SVc together with the sensor ID of the own machine, and when the entry / exit detection unit 17 detects the exit, the exit detection result. May be transferred (relayed, transmitted) to the management server device SVc together with the sensor ID.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 18 is a sequence diagram showing, as an example, the operation of the third embodiment regarding the stop and release of the notification in the monitored person monitoring support system. FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the SU entry / exit status information table in the operation shown in FIG. In FIG. 19, each SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t31, MTc-t32, MTc-t33, MTc-t34 of each of time t31, time t32, time t33 and time t34 is shown in order from the left side of the paper to the right side of the paper. ing. As another example, FIG. 20 is a sequence diagram showing the operation of the third embodiment regarding the stop and release of the notification in the monitored person monitoring support system. FIG. 21 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the SU entry / exit status information table in the operation shown in FIG. 20. In FIG. 21, the SU entry / exit status information tables MTc-t41, MTc-t42, MTc-t43, and MTc-t44 for each of time t41, time t42, time t43, and time t44 are shown in order from the left side of the paper to the right side of the paper. ing.

In the monitored person monitoring support system MSc having the above configuration, when the power is turned on, each device SUc, RDc, SVc, SP, and TAC executes necessary initialization of each part and starts its operation. In the sensor device SUc, by executing the SU control processing program, the SU control processing unit 14c includes the SU control unit 141, the action detection processing unit 142, the nurse call processing unit 143, the SU streaming processing unit 144, and the SU management processing unit 145c. And the SU notification control unit 146 is functionally configured. The management server device SVc and the mobile terminal device TAC are the same as those in the second embodiment.

Hereinafter, the operation of the third embodiment relating to the stop and release of the notification in the monitored person monitoring support system MSc will be described. Since the operation related to the notification of the predetermined event in the monitored person monitoring support system MSc is the same as the operation related to the notification of the predetermined event in the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

Here, in the following description, as an example, at the beginning, for example, at the time of login operation, the worker ID; "ID-NA" is input to the mobile terminal device TAC-1 carried by the worker NS-1. The worker ID; "ID-NA" is stored in advance, and the worker ID; "ID-NB" is input to the mobile terminal device TAC-2 carried by the worker NS-2, and the worker ID; It is assumed that "ID-NB" is stored in advance. Then, it is assumed that the worker NS is not present in the living room RM-1 and the worker ID is not stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161.

In the operation of the third embodiment relating to the stop and release of the notification, in FIG. 18, when the worker NS-1 enters the room RM-1 of the monitored person Ob, for example, by notification of a predetermined event or the like. , The portable terminal device TAC-1 that is carried is brought close to the ID device RDc-1 provided corresponding to the living room RM-1, and a reading operation is performed to read the sensor ID (second specific information). (C311).

When the mobile terminal device TAC-1 and the ID device RDb-1 are in close proximity to each other, the mobile terminal device TAC-1 has a sensor ID from the ID device RDc-1; " "SU-1" is read (C312), and subsequently, as in the process C113 of the first embodiment, the association information of the sensor ID; "SU-1" and the worker ID; "ID-NA" is generated. The first ID notification communication signal is generated and transmitted to the management server device SVc (C313).

When the first ID notification communication signal is received from the mobile terminal device TAC-1, the management server device SVc relays the sensor ID of the association information accommodated in the received first ID notification communication signal; "SU-1". A second ID notification communication signal accommodating the association information is generated and transmitted to the sensor device SUc-1 having the above (C324).

Here, the worker NS-1 brought the mobile terminal device TAc-1 and the ID device RDc-1 close to each other as described above, but entered (entered) the living room RM-1 by, for example, a sudden call. ), If the user leaves the living room RM-1, the entrance / exit detection unit 17 does not detect the entrance of the worker NS-1, and the entrance / exit detection unit 17 outputs the entry detection result to the SU control processing unit 14c. Not done. Therefore, the sensor device SUc-1 does not perform the subsequent processing. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 19, even if the management server device SVc notifies the association information, the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t31 shown on the left side of the paper in FIG. 19 is the second from the left on the paper in FIG. Like the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t32 shown in the above, the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161 stores the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t32 without the registration of the worker ID (MTd-t31). = MTd-t32). Therefore, monitoring by the sensor device SUc-1 is continued. The sensor device SUc can be entered or entered from the entrance / exit detection unit 17 within a predetermined time (for example, within 5 seconds or within 10 seconds) after the association information is notified from the management server device SVc. This process may be terminated when the exit detection result is not notified.

Then, for example, by notifying the predetermined event, when the worker NS-2 enters the room RM-1 of the monitored person Ob, the worker NS-2 carries the portable terminal device TAc-2 in the room. A reading operation is performed in which the sensor ID (second specific information) is read by approaching the ID device RDc-1 provided corresponding to the RM-1 (C321).

When the mobile terminal device TAc-2 and the ID device RDc-1 are close to each other, the mobile terminal device TAc-2 has a sensor ID from the ID device RDc-1; "SU-1" is read (C322), and subsequently, as in the process C113 of the first embodiment, the association information of the sensor ID; "SU-1" and the worker ID; "ID-NB" is generated. The first ID notification communication signal is generated and transmitted to the management server device SVc (C323).

When the first ID notification communication signal is received from the mobile terminal device TAC-2, the management server device SVc relays the sensor ID of the association information accommodated in the received first ID notification communication signal; "SU-1". A second ID notification communication signal accommodating the association information is generated and transmitted to the sensor device SUc-1 having the above (C324).

When the worker NS-2 enters the living room RM-1, the entry / exit detection unit 17 detects the entry of the worker NS-2 and outputs the entry detection result to the SU control processing unit 14c (C325).

Upon receiving the notification of the association information from the management server device SVc and the entry detection result from the entry / exit detection unit 17, the sensor device SUc processes the entry / exit status of the worker NS with respect to the living room RM-1. In addition, the SU management processing unit 145c of the SU control processing unit 14c manages the worker ID; "ID-NB" of the association information notified from the management server device SVc (C326). More specifically, in the SU management processing unit 145c, the worker ID field 1611 of the SU entry / exit status information table MTc in which the worker ID of the notified association information is stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. If it is not registered in, a new record is generated, and the worker ID of the notified association information is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the newly generated record. On the other hand, when the worker ID of the notified association information is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the SU entry / exit status information table MTc stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161, the notification Delete the record that registers the worker ID of the linked information (delete the worker ID from the worker ID field).

In the example shown in FIG. 19, when the sensor ID; "SU-1" and the worker ID; "ID-NB" are received as the association information from the management server device SVc, they are stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. Since the worker ID; "ID-NB" of the received association information is not registered in the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t22, the SU management processing unit 145c generates a new record and newly creates a new record. In the worker ID field 1611 of the generated record, the worker ID of the notified association information; "ID-NB" is registered. As a result, the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t32 shown second from the left on the paper in FIG. 19 becomes the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t33 shown second from the right on the paper, and the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161 has a work. The SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t33 in which the worker ID; "ID-NB" is registered in the person ID field 1611 is stored.

Subsequently, when the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t32 managed by the SU management processing unit 145c is updated to the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t33, the SU entry / exit status information managed by the SU management processing unit 145c is updated. Since the table MTc has the worker ID; "ID-NB", the sensor device SUc manages the stop instruction notification communication signal by the SU notification control unit 146 of the SU control processing unit 14c in order to notify the stop instruction. It is transmitted to the server device SVc (C327). More specifically, the SU notification control unit 146 generates a stop instruction notification communication signal containing the sensor ID; "SU-1" of the own machine and the stop command to the management server device SVc, and the generated stop instruction. The notification communication signal is transmitted by the SU communication IF unit 15.

Upon receiving the stop instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUc, the management server device SVc executes a process of controlling the notification of the event from the sensor device SUc (C328, notification control process (notification stop process)). More specifically, since the monitoring server device SVc has received the stop instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUc-1, the sensor ID accommodated in the received stop instruction notification communication signal; "SU-1" and A record for extracting the stop command and registering the extracted sensor ID; "SU-1" in the source field 2321 is selected (searched) from the notification destination correspondence information table AT, and the notification permission / rejection flag field in this selected record is selected. In 2323, the notification permission / rejection flag "1" is registered according to the taken out stop command. As a result, the notification when notifying the predetermined terminal device SP and TAC of the predetermined event is stopped.

Then, for example, when the worker NS-2 in the living room RM-1 finishes dealing with the notification of the predetermined event, the worker NS-2 carrying the portable terminal device TAC-2 when leaving the room. Is brought close to the ID device RDc-1 provided corresponding to the living room RM-1, and a reading operation is performed to read the sensor ID (C331).

When the mobile terminal device TAc-2 and the ID device RDc-1 are close to each other, the mobile terminal device TAc-2 has a sensor ID from the ID device RDc-1; as in the process C112 of the first embodiment. "SU-1" is read (C332), and subsequently, as in the process C113 of the first embodiment, the association information of the sensor ID; "SU-1" and the worker ID; "ID-NB" is generated. The first ID notification communication signal is generated and transmitted to the management server device SVc (C333).

When the first ID notification communication signal is received from the mobile terminal device TAC-2, the management server device SVc relays the sensor ID of the association information accommodated in the received first ID notification communication signal; "SU-1". A second ID notification communication signal accommodating the association information is generated and transmitted to the sensor device SUc-1 having the above (C334).

When the worker NS-2 leaves the living room RM-1, the entrance / exit detection unit 17 detects the exit of the worker NS-2 and outputs the exit detection result to the SU control processing unit 14c (C335).

When the management server device SVc notifies the association information and the entry / exit detection unit 17 receives the exit detection result, the sensor device SUc processes the entry / exit status of the worker NS with respect to the living room RM-1. In addition, the SU management processing unit 145c of the SU control processing unit 14c manages the worker ID; "ID-NB" of the association information notified from the management server device SVc in the same manner as the above-mentioned processing C326 (C336). .. In the example shown in FIG. 19, as shown second from the right on the page of FIG. 19, the notified worker ID; "ID-NB" is stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. Since it is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the information table MTc-t33, the SU management processing unit 145c deletes the record for registering the notified worker ID; "ID-NB". As a result, the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t33 shown on the right side of the paper in FIG. 19 becomes the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t34 shown on the right side of the paper, and the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161 has a worker ID; The record in which "ID-NB" is registered disappears, and the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t34 in which no worker ID is registered is stored.

Subsequently, when the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t33 managed by the SU management processing unit 145c is updated to the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t34, the SU entry / exit status information managed by the SU management processing unit 145c is updated. Since there is no worker ID in the table MTc, the sensor device SUc accommodates its own sensor ID; "SU-1" and the stop release command in the same manner as the above-mentioned process C246 in order to notify the stop release instruction. The stop release instruction notification communication signal is transmitted to the management server device SVc (C337).

Upon receiving the stop release instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUc, the management server device SVc executes a process of controlling the notification of the event from the sensor device SUc (C338, notification control process (notification stop release process)). More specifically, since the management server device SVc has received the stop release instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUc-1, the sensor ID included in the received stop release instruction notification communication signal; "SU-1". , And a record for registering the extracted sensor ID; “SU-1” in the source field 2321 is selected (searched) from the notification destination correspondence information table AT, and the notification in this selected record is selected. The notification permission / rejection flag "0" is registered in the permission / rejection flag field 2323 according to the taken-out stop release command. As a result, the suspension of the notification when notifying the predetermined terminal device SP and TAC of the predetermined event is released. That is, a predetermined event is notified to the predetermined terminal device SP and TAC.

In the above, the case where the worker NS-1 who first visited the living room RM-1 left the living room RM-1 without entering the room, and then the worker NS-2 who visited the living room RM-1 entered the room. However, conversely, the worker NS-1 who first visited the living room RM-1 entered the room, and then the worker NS-2 who visited the living room RM-1 was the worker NS-1. The case of not entering the room after seeing the room will be described below.

In such a case, for example, when the worker NS-1 enters the room RM-1 of the monitored person Ob by notifying a predetermined event or the like, the worker NS-1 carries the portable terminal device TAC-1. A reading operation is performed in which the sensor ID (second specific information) is read by approaching the ID device RDc-1 provided corresponding to the living room RM-1 (C411).

When the mobile terminal device TAC-1 and the ID device RDc-1 are close to each other, the mobile terminal device TAc-1 has a sensor ID from the ID device RDc-1; as in the process C112 of the first embodiment. "SU-1" is read (C412), and subsequently, as in the process C113 of the first embodiment, the association information of the sensor ID; "SU-1" and the worker ID; "ID-NA" is generated. The first ID notification communication signal is generated and transmitted to the management server device SVc (C413).

When the first ID notification communication signal is received from the mobile terminal device TAC-1, the management server device SVc relays the sensor ID of the association information accommodated in the received first ID notification communication signal; "SU-1". A second ID notification communication signal accommodating the association information is generated and transmitted to the sensor device SUc-1 having the above (C414).

When the worker NS-1 enters the living room RM-1, the entry / exit detection unit 17 detects the entry of the worker NS-1 and outputs the entry detection result to the SU control processing unit 14c (C415).

Upon receiving the notification of the association information from the management server device SVc and the entry detection result from the entry / exit detection unit 17, the sensor device SUc processes the entry / exit status of the worker NS with respect to the living room RM-1. In the same manner as the above-described process C326, the worker ID; "ID-NA" of the association information notified from the management server device SVc is managed (C416). In the example shown in FIG. 21, when the sensor ID; "SU-1" and the worker ID; "ID-NA" are received as the association information from the management server device SVc, they are stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. Since the worker ID; "ID-NA" of the received association information is not registered in the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t41, the SU management processing unit 145c generates a new record and newly creates a new record. The worker ID of the notified association information; "ID-NA" is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the generated record. As a result, the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t41 shown on the left side of the paper in FIG. 21 becomes the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t42 shown second from the left side of the paper, and the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161 has a worker ID field. The SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t42 in which the worker ID; "ID-NA" is registered in 1611 is stored.

Subsequently, when the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t41 managed by the SU management processing unit 145c is updated to the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t42, the SU entry / exit status information managed by the SU management processing unit 145c is updated. Since the table MTc has the worker ID; "ID-NA", the sensor device SUc has the sensor ID; "SU-1" and "SU-1" of the own machine in the same manner as the above-mentioned processing C327 in order to notify the stop instruction. A stop instruction notification communication signal accommodating the stop command is transmitted to the management server device SVc (C417).

Upon receiving the stop instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUc, the management server device SVc executes a process of controlling the notification of the event from the sensor device SUc (C418, notification control process (notification stop process)). More specifically, since the monitoring server device SVc has received the stop instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUc-1, the sensor ID accommodated in the received stop instruction notification communication signal; "SU-1" and A record for extracting the stop command and registering the extracted sensor ID; "SU-1" in the source field 2321 is selected (searched) from the notification destination correspondence information table AT, and the notification permission / rejection flag field in this selected record is selected. In 2323, the notification permission / rejection flag "1" is registered according to the taken out stop command. As a result, the notification when notifying the predetermined terminal device SP and TAC of the predetermined event is stopped.

When the worker NS-2 enters the room RM-1 of the monitored person Ob by, for example, notifying the predetermined event, the worker NS-2 carries the portable terminal device TAC-2 in the room. A reading operation is performed in which the sensor ID (second specific information) is read by approaching the ID device RDc-1 provided corresponding to the RM-1 (C421).

When the mobile terminal device TAc-2 and the ID device RDc-1 are close to each other, the mobile terminal device TAc-2 has a sensor ID from the ID device RDc-1; as in the process C112 of the first embodiment. "SU-1" is read (C422), and subsequently, as in the process C113 of the first embodiment, the association information of the sensor ID; "SU-1" and the worker ID; "ID-NB" is generated. The first ID notification communication signal is generated and transmitted to the management server device SVc (C423).

When the first ID notification communication signal is received from the mobile terminal device TAC-2, the management server device SVc relays the sensor ID of the association information accommodated in the received first ID notification communication signal; "SU-1". A second ID notification communication signal accommodating the association information is generated and transmitted to the sensor device SUc-1 having the above (C424).

Here, the worker NS-2 brought the mobile terminal device TAc-2 and the ID device RDc-1 close to each other as described above, but saw the presence of the worker NS-1 in the living room RM-1. If the user leaves the living room RM-1 without entering (entering) the living room RM-1, the entrance / exit detection unit 17 does not detect the entry of the worker NS-2 and enters from the entrance / exit detection unit 17. The detection result is not output to the SU control processing unit 14c. Therefore, the sensor device SUc-1 does not perform the subsequent processing. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 21, even if the management server device SVc notifies the association information, the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t42 shown second from the left on the paper in FIG. 21 is on the right on the paper in FIG. Like the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t43 shown second from the above, the SU entry / exit status information table MTc- in which only the worker ID; "ID-NA" is registered in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161 remains unchanged. t43 is stored (MTc-t42 = MTc-t43). Therefore, the monitoring stop by the sensor device SUc-1 is continued.

Then, for example, when the worker NS-1 in the living room RM-1 finishes dealing with the notification of the predetermined event, the worker NS-1 carrying the portable terminal device TAC-1 when leaving the room. Is brought close to the ID device RDc-1 provided corresponding to the living room RM-1, and a reading operation is performed to read the sensor ID (C431).

When the mobile terminal device TAC-1 and the ID device RDc-1 are close to each other, the mobile terminal device TAc-1 has a sensor ID from the ID device RDc-1; as in the process C112 of the first embodiment. "SU-1" is read (C432), and subsequently, as in the process C113 of the first embodiment, the association information of the sensor ID; "SU-1" and the worker ID; "ID-NA" is generated. The first ID notification communication signal is generated and transmitted to the management server device SVc (C433).

When the first ID notification communication signal is received from the mobile terminal device TAC-1, the management server device SVc relays the sensor ID of the association information accommodated in the received first ID notification communication signal; "SU-1". A second ID notification communication signal accommodating the association information is generated and transmitted to the sensor device SUc-1 having the above (C434).

When the worker NS-1 leaves the living room RM-1, the entrance / exit detection unit 17 detects the exit of the worker NS-2 and outputs the exit detection result to the SU control processing unit 14c (C435).

When the management server device SVc notifies the association information and the entry / exit detection unit 17 receives the exit detection result, the sensor device SUc processes the entry / exit status of the worker NS with respect to the living room RM-1. In the same manner as the above-described process C326, the worker ID; "ID-NA" of the association information notified from the management server device SVc is managed (C436). In the example shown in FIG. 21, as shown second from the right on the page of FIG. 21, the notified worker ID; "ID-NA" is stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. Since it is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the information table MTc-t43, the SU management processing unit 145c deletes the record for registering the notified worker ID; "ID-NA". As a result, the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t43 shown on the right side of the paper in FIG. 21 becomes the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t44 shown on the right side of the paper, and the worker ID; The record in which "ID-NB" is registered disappears, and the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t44 in which no worker ID is registered is stored.

Subsequently, when the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t43 managed by the SU management processing unit 145c is updated to the SU entry / exit status information table MTc-t44, the SU entry / exit status information managed by the SU management processing unit 145c is updated. Since there is no worker ID in the table MTc, the sensor device SUc accommodates its own sensor ID; "SU-1" and the stop release command in the same manner as the above-mentioned process C246 in order to notify the stop release instruction. The stop release instruction notification communication signal is transmitted to the management server device SVc (C437).

Upon receiving the stop release instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUc, the management server device SVc executes a process of controlling the notification of the event from the sensor device SUc (C438, notification control process (notification stop release process)). More specifically, since the management server device SVc has received the stop release instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUc-1, the sensor ID included in the received stop release instruction notification communication signal; "SU-1". , And a record for registering the extracted sensor ID; “SU-1” in the source field 2321 is selected (searched) from the notification destination correspondence information table AT, and the notification in this selected record is selected. The notification permission / rejection flag "0" is registered in the permission / rejection flag field 2323 according to the taken-out stop release command. As a result, the suspension of the notification when notifying the predetermined terminal device SP and TAC of the predetermined event is released. That is, a predetermined event is notified to the predetermined terminal device SP and TAC.

The monitored person monitoring support system MSc operates in this way with respect to the suspension and cancellation of the notification.

As described above, the monitored person monitoring support system MSc in the third embodiment and the monitored person monitoring support method implemented therein have the same effects as the monitored person monitoring support system MSb in the second embodiment. Play.

Although it was judged by visual inspection before entering the venue that it was not necessary to deal with the monitored person, or because it was necessary to go to another place due to changes in the situation, the worker NS performed a reading operation, but the monitoring was performed. It is possible that you will not enter the area. The monitored person monitoring support system MSc and the monitored person monitoring support method further include an entrance / exit detection unit 17, and further, based on the detection result of the entrance detection unit 17, the first specific information (worker ID in the present embodiment). ) Is managed. Therefore, when the worker NS performs the reading operation but does not enter the monitoring area, the detection notification is not stopped, and the detection notification is performed as it is. Therefore, the monitored person monitoring support system MSc and the monitored person monitoring support method can more reliably control the stoppage of the monitoring function according to the entry of the worker NS.

In the above-mentioned first to third embodiments, the mobile terminal device TAa reads the second specific information from the ID device RDa, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the ID device RD reads the second specific information from the mobile terminal device TA. The first specific information may be read. A third embodiment based on the first embodiment is also included.

For example, the worker NS carries an IC card (RF tag) or a magnetic card for storing the first specific information, and the ID device RD is a card reader that reads the first specific information from the IC card or the magnetic card. You may.
