[Monitoring system configuration]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the watching system 100. The object to be watched over is, for example, a resident in each living room provided in the living room area 180 of the facility (sometimes referred to as a “care recipient”). In the monitoring system 100 of FIG. 1, living rooms 110 and 120 are provided in the living room area 180. The living room 110 is assigned to the resident 111. The living room 120 is assigned to the resident 121. In the example of FIG. 1, the number of living rooms included in the watching system 100 is 2, but the number is not limited to this.

In the monitoring system 100, the sensor boxes 119 installed in the living rooms 110 and 120, the management server 200 installed in the management center 130, and the access point 140 are connected via the network 190. The network 190 may include both an intranet and the Internet.

In the monitoring system 100, the mobile terminal 143 carried by the caregiver 141 and the mobile terminal 144 carried by the caregiver 142 can be connected to the network 190 via the access point 140. Further, the sensor box 119, the management server 200, and the access point 140 can communicate with the cloud server 150 via the network 190. The mobile terminals 143 and 144 are, for example, so-called smartphones and tablet terminals.

The living rooms 110 and 120 include a chest of drawers 112, a bed 113, and a toilet 114, respectively, as equipment. A door sensor 118 that detects the opening and closing of the door is installed on the door of the living room 110. A toilet sensor 116 that detects the opening and closing of the toilet 114 is installed on the door of the toilet 114. An odor sensor 117 for detecting the odor of each resident 111, 121 is installed on the bed 113. Each resident 111, 121 is equipped with a vital sensor 290 that detects vital information of the resident 111, 121. The detected vital information includes the resident's body temperature, respiration, heart rate, and the like. In the living rooms 110 and 120, each resident 111 and 121 can operate the care call slave unit 115, respectively.

The sensor box 119 has a built-in sensor for detecting the behavior of an object in the living rooms 110 and 120. An example of a sensor is a Doppler sensor for detecting the movement of an object. Another example is a camera. The sensor box 119 may include both a Doppler sensor and a camera as sensors.

The components of the monitoring system 100 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an outline of the configuration of the watching system 100.

[Sensor Box 119]
The sensor box 119 includes a control device 101, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 102, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 103, a communication interface 104, a camera 105, a Doppler sensor 106, a wireless communication device 107, and a storage device. It includes 108.

The control device 101 controls the sensor box 119. The control device 101 is composed of, for example, at least one integrated circuit. The integrated circuit is, for example, at least one CPU (Central Processing Unit), MPU (Micro Processing Unit) or other processor, at least one ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), at least one FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or these. It is composed of a combination of.

An antenna (not shown) or the like is connected to the communication interface 104. The sensor box 119 exchanges data with an external communication device via the antenna. External communication devices include, for example, a management server 200, mobile terminals 143, 144 and other terminals, an access point 140, a cloud server 150, and other communication terminals.

The camera 105 is a near-infrared camera in one implementation example. Near-infrared cameras include IR (Infrared) floodlights that project near-infrared light. By using a near-infrared camera, images showing the inside of the living rooms 110 and 120 can be taken even at night. In another embodiment, the camera 105 is a surveillance camera that receives only visible light. In still another embodiment, a 3D sensor or a thermography camera may be used as the camera 105. The sensor box 119 and the camera 105 may be configured as one or a separate body.

The Doppler sensor 106 is, for example, a microwave Doppler sensor that radiates and receives radio waves to detect the behavior (movement) of objects in the living rooms 110 and 120. As a result, the biometric information of the residents 111 and 121 of the living rooms 110 and 120 can be detected. In one example, the Doppler sensor 106 radiates microwaves in the 24 GHz band toward the beds 113 of the rooms 110 and 120, and receives the reflected waves reflected by the residents 111 and 121. The reflected wave is Doppler-shifted by the movements of the residents 111 and 121. The Doppler sensor 106 can detect the respiratory state and heart rate of the residents 111 and 121 from the reflected wave.

The wireless communication device 107 receives signals from the care call slave unit 240, the door sensor 118, the toilet sensor 116, the odor sensor 117, and the vital sensor 290, and transmits the signals to the control device 101. For example, the care call slave unit 240 includes a care call button 241. When the button is operated, the care call slave unit 240 transmits a signal indicating that the operation has been performed to the wireless communication device 107. The door sensor 118, the toilet sensor 116, the odor sensor 117, and the vital sensor 290 transmit their respective detection results to the wireless communication device 107.

The storage device 108 is, for example, a fixed storage device such as a flash memory or a hard disk, or a recording medium such as an external storage device. The storage device 108 stores a program executed by the control device 101 and various data used for executing the program. Various data may include behavioral information of residents 111 and 121. Details of the behavior information will be described later.

If at least one of the above programs and data is a storage device accessible to the control device 101, a storage device other than the storage device 108 (for example, a storage area of the control device 101 (for example, a cache memory), ROM 102, etc.). It may be stored in the RAM 103, an external device (for example, a management server 200, a mobile terminal 143, 144, etc.).

[Behavior information]
The above behavioral information will be described. The action information is, for example, information indicating that the residents 111 and 121 have executed a predetermined action. In one example, the predetermined actions are "getting up" indicating that the residents 111 and 121 have awakened, "getting out" indicating that the residents 111 and 121 have left the bed (bedding) 113, and the residents 111 and 121. It includes four actions, "falling" indicating that the bed (bedding) 113 has fallen, and "falling" indicating that the residents 111 and 121 have fallen.

In one embodiment, the control device 101 generates behavioral information of the occupants 111, 121 associated with the rooms 110, 120 based on the images captured by the cameras 105 installed in the rooms 110, 120. do. For example, the control device 101 detects the heads of the occupants 111, 121 from the above image, and based on the time change of the size of the detected heads of the resident 111, 121, the resident 111, 121 " Detects "wake up", "get out of bed", "fall" and "fall". Hereinafter, a specific example of generating behavioral information will be described in more detail.

First, the storage device 108 stores the location area of each bed 113 in the living rooms 110 and 120, the first threshold value Th1, the second threshold value Th2, and the third threshold value Th3. The first threshold Th1 discriminates the size of the resident's head between the lying posture and the sitting posture in the location area of the bed 113. The second threshold Th2 identifies whether or not the resident is in a standing posture based on the size of the resident's head in the living rooms 110 and 120 excluding the area where the bed 113 is located. The third threshold Th3 identifies whether or not the resident is in the lying position based on the size of the resident's head in the living rooms 110 and 120 excluding the area where the bed 113 is located.

The control device 101 extracts a moving object region from the target image as a region of a person of the occupants 111, 121 by, for example, a background subtraction method or a frame subtraction method. The control device 101 is further derived from the extracted moving body region by a neural network learned for head detection by pattern matching using a head model prepared in advance by, for example, a circular or elliptical Hough transform. Using the threshold value, the head regions of the residents 111 and 121 are extracted. The control device 101 detects "getting up", "getting out of bed", "falling", and "falling" from the position and size of the extracted head.

In the control device 101, the position of the head extracted as described above is within the location region of the bed 113, and the size of the head extracted as described above is lying down by using the first threshold Th1. When it is detected that the size of the posture has changed to the size of the sitting posture, it may be determined that the action "wake up" has occurred.

When the position of the head extracted as described above moves from the inside of the location area of the bed 113 to the outside of the location area of the bed 113, the control device 101 refers to the size of the head extracted as described above. By applying the second threshold value Th2, when it is detected that the head has changed from a certain size to a standing posture size, it may be determined that the action “getting out of bed” has occurred.

The control device 101 refers to the size of the head extracted as described above when the position of the head extracted as described above moves from the location region of the bed 113 to the outside of the location region of the bed 113. By applying the third threshold Th3, when it is detected that the head has changed from a certain size to the size of the lying posture, it may be determined that the behavior “fall” has occurred.

The control device 101 uses the position of the head extracted as described above in the living rooms 110 and 120 excluding the area where the bed 113 is located, and the size of the extracted head uses the third threshold Th3. When it is detected that the size has changed from a certain size to the size of the lying posture, it may be determined that the behavior "fall" has occurred.

As described above, in one specific example, the control device 101 of the sensor box 119 generates the action information of the residents 111 and 121. In the monitoring system 100 that follows other aspects, elements other than the control device 101 (for example, the cloud server 150) generate behavior information of the residents 111 and 121 using the images in the living rooms 110 and 120. May be good.

In a certain aspect, the mobile terminals 143 and 144 are realized as, for example, smartphones, tablet terminals, wristwatch-type terminals and other wearable devices.

The control device 221 controls the mobile terminals 143 and 144. The control device 221 is composed of, for example, at least one integrated circuit. An integrated circuit is composed of, for example, at least one CPU, at least one ASIC, at least one FPGA, or a combination thereof.

An antenna (not shown) or the like is connected to the communication interface 224. The mobile terminals 143 and 144 exchange data with an external communication device via the antenna and the access point 140. External communication devices include, for example, a sensor box 119, a management server 200, and the like.

The display 226 is realized by, for example, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display, or the like. The input device 229 is realized by, for example, a touch sensor provided on the display 226. The touch sensor receives a touch operation on the mobile terminals 143 and 144 and outputs a signal corresponding to the touch operation to the control device 221.

The storage device 228 is realized by, for example, a flash memory, a hard disk or other fixed storage device, a detachable data recording medium, or the like.

[Cloud server configuration]
The configuration of the cloud server 150 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of a computer system 300 that functions as a cloud server 150.

The computer system 300 has, as main components, a CPU 1 that executes a program, a mouse 2 and a keyboard 3 that receive an instruction input by a user of the computer system 300, data generated by executing the program by the CPU 1, or a mouse 2. Alternatively, the RAM 4 that volatilely stores the data input via the keyboard 3, the hard disk 5 that stores the data non-volatilely, the optical disk drive device 6, the communication interface (I / F) 7, and the monitor 8 are used. include. The components are connected to each other by a data bus. A CD-ROM9 or other optical disc is mounted on the optical disc drive device 6.

The processing in the computer system 300 is realized by the software executed by each hardware and the CPU 1. Such software may be stored in the hard disk 5 in advance. Further, the software may be stored in a CD-ROM9 or other recording medium and distributed as a computer program. Alternatively, the software may be provided as an application program that can be downloaded by an information provider connected to the so-called Internet. Such software is temporarily stored in the hard disk 5 after being read from the recording medium by the optical disk driving device 6 or other reading device or downloaded via the communication interface 7. The software is read from the hard disk 5 by the CPU 1 and stored in the RAM 4 in the form of an executable program. The CPU 1 executes the program.

Each component constituting the computer system 300 shown in FIG. 3 is a general one. Therefore, it can be said that one of the essential parts of the technical idea according to the present disclosure is software stored in RAM 4, hard disk 5, CD-ROM 9, or other recording medium, or software that can be downloaded via a network. The recording medium may include a non-temporary, computer-readable data recording medium. Since the operation of each hardware of the computer system 300 is well known, the detailed description will not be repeated.

[Device configuration of watching system 100]
With reference to FIG. 4, the watching using the watching system 100 will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a schematic example of the device configuration of the monitoring system 100 using the sensor box 119.

The watching system 100 is used to watch over the residents 111, 121 and other residents who are the monitoring target persons (monitoring target persons). As shown in FIG. 4, a sensor box 119 is attached to the ceiling of the living room 110. Similarly, the sensor box 119 is attached to the other living rooms.

The range 410 represents the detection range by the sensor box 119. When the sensor box 119 has the above-mentioned Doppler sensor, the Doppler sensor detects the behavior of a person occurring within the range 410. When the sensor box 119 has a camera as a sensor, the camera captures an image within range 410.

The sensor box 119 is installed in, for example, a nursing care facility, a medical facility, or a home. In the example of FIG. 4, the sensor box 119 is mounted on the ceiling and photographs the resident 111 and the bed 113. The mounting location of the sensor box 119 is not limited to the ceiling, and the sensor box 119 may be mounted on the side wall of the living room 110.

The watching system 100 detects the danger occurring in the resident 111 based on a series of images (that is, images) obtained from the camera 105. As an example, the detectable danger includes a fall of the resident 111, a state where the resident 111 is present at a dangerous place (for example, a bed fence), and the like.

When the monitoring system 100 detects that the resident 111 is in danger, the monitoring system 100 notifies the caregivers 141, 143 and the like of the danger. As an example of the notification method, the monitoring system 100 notifies the mobile terminals 143 and 144 of the caregivers 141 and 142 of the danger of the resident 111. Upon receiving the notification, the mobile terminals 143 and 144 notify the caregivers 141 and 142 of the danger of the resident 111 by a message, voice, vibration or the like. As a result, the caregivers 141 and 142 can immediately grasp that the resident 111 is in danger and can quickly rush to the resident 111.

Although FIG. 4 shows an example in which the watching system 100 includes one sensor box 119, the watching system 100 may include a plurality of sensor boxes 119. Further, although FIG. 4 shows an example in which the watching system 100 includes a plurality of mobile terminals 143 and 144, the watching system 100 can be realized by one mobile terminal.

In one aspect, the caregiver 440 uses the mobile terminal 441 to record a condition relating to the resident 111. The information recorded in the cloud server 150 as a care item may include, for example, the following items, but is not limited to the items exemplified below.
(1) Image showing the time when the meal (main meal, side meal) was performed, the content of the meal, the intake amount, or the state of the tableware after the meal (2) The time, amount or state of excretion (3) Vital data ( Blood pressure (contractile, diastolic, pulse pressure), heart rate (or pulse rate), urine output, respiratory status (breathing rate, respiratory pattern, SpO ₂ ), consciousness (excitatory, stunned or coma), body temperature)
(4) Time, content or amount of snacks (5) Time of regular or extraordinary administration of the drug, type or amount of the drug (6) Time of oral care (such as brushing teeth) or oral cavity Contents of care (7) Time of hydration or amount of hydration (8) Time of individual training (for example, walking training) or its status [Example of input]
The caregiver 440 selects a resident (for example, only the resident 111 or a plurality of resident such as the resident 111, 121) on the mobile terminal 441, and is exemplified as the above items (1) to (8). Select an item that looks like this. When the caregiver 440 selects a plurality of residents, the "continuous input" mode or the "batch input" mode can be selected as the input mode using the mobile terminal 441.

The "continuous input" mode makes it possible to continuously and individually register (send) information to the cloud server 150 for each selected resident. When continuous input is selected, the mobile terminal 441 may display which resident of the selected plurality of occupants is being input. Further, after the information is transmitted, the mobile terminal 441 can display which resident information has been transmitted to the cloud server 150. Further, the mobile terminal 441 can display the number of remaining occupants to be transmitted of the item in a state where the number of selected occupants is reduced by one. As a result, the caregiver 440 can confirm which resident is inputting the item after completing the transmission of the item for a certain resident, so that erroneous input can be prevented.

In another aspect, the mobile terminal 441 can switch the input mode from the "continuous input" mode to the "batch input" mode based on the operation of the caregiver 440. For example, in the case of "continuous input", when three residents are selected, the caregiver 440 sets the input mode to "after the mobile terminal 441 completes the transmission of care items for one resident." You can switch from "continuous input" to "batch input" mode. After that, the mobile terminal 441 can collectively transmit each care item for the remaining resident to the management server 200 in the operation mode of the "batch input" mode described later.

The "batch input" mode makes it possible to register (send) the same information (care item) to the cloud server 150 for each selected resident. When batch input is selected, the mobile terminal 441 may display how many tenants are selected. Further, when the "batch input" mode is selected, it is possible to accept the selection of the item to be corrected and to accept the input of data for the selected item.

The structure of the mobile terminals 143, 144, 441 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of an information communication terminal 500 that realizes a mobile terminal that follows a certain aspect.

The signal received by the antenna 23 is front-end processed by the communication device 24, and the processed signal is sent to the CPU 20.

The CPU 20 executes a process for controlling the operation of the information communication terminal 500 based on an instruction given to the information communication terminal 500. When the information communication terminal 500 receives the signal, the CPU 20 executes a predetermined process based on the signal sent from the communication device 24, and sends the processed signal to the audio signal processing circuit 34. The audio signal processing circuit 34 executes predetermined signal processing on the signal, and sends the processed signal to the speaker 33. The speaker 33 outputs sound based on the signal.

The input switch 25 receives an input of a command to the information communication terminal 500. The input switch 25 is realized by a touch sensor, a button provided on the housing of the information communication terminal 500, and the like. The signal corresponding to the input command is input to the CPU 20.

The microphone 32 receives an utterance to the information communication terminal 500 and sends a signal corresponding to the uttered voice to the voice signal processing circuit 34. The audio signal processing circuit 34 executes a predetermined process for a call based on the signal, and sends the processed signal to the CPU 20. The CPU 20 converts the signal into data for transmission, and sends the converted data to the communication device 24. The communication device 24 uses the data to generate a signal for transmission, and sends the signal toward the antenna 23.

The flash memory 27 stores data sent from the CPU 20. Further, the CPU 20 reads the data stored in the flash memory 27 and executes a predetermined process using the data.

The RAM 28 temporarily holds the data generated by the CPU 20 based on the operation performed on the input switch 25. The ROM 29 stores a program or data for causing the information communication terminal 500 to execute a predetermined operation. The CPU 20 reads the program or data from the ROM 29 and controls the operation of the information communication terminal 500.

The memory card drive device 30 reads the data stored in the memory card 31 and sends it to the CPU 20. The memory card drive device 30 writes the data output by the CPU 20 into the storage area of the memory card 31.

The voice signal processing circuit 34 executes signal processing for a call as described above.
