This is in order to raise the accuracy of the judgment of health anomaly by continuously reflecting the movement pattern of the person to be protected, which is a part of the daily living category for the protected person, or a part that is finely changed.

The pattern determination unit 330 determines that the average of the collected data of the status signal is a status pattern.

Accordingly, the health information forming unit 340 compares the state pattern formed by the pattern determining unit 330 with a predetermined protected-person movement pattern, and forms corresponding health information according to the result.

When the comparison result is less than or equal to the predetermined level range, the health information formation unit 340 forms health information that an abnormality has occurred in the health of the protected person.

On the other hand, when the comparison result is equal to or more than the predetermined level range, the health information forming unit 340 forms the health information that the health condition of the protected person is good.

For example, if the protected person's refrigerator is pre-set to change 10 times a day in a protected pattern, if the average number of times the refrigerator is opened and closed for a predetermined period of time is one time, Can be inferred.

Here, when the number of openings of the refrigerator is set to 10 times per day as the protected-person movement pattern, 8 to 12 times can be set to the level of the error range.

In addition, the pattern discrimination unit 330 can discriminate the state pattern as a moving trajectory in time with respect to the collected data of the state signal in other ways.

Furthermore, the pattern determining unit 330 can determine the state pattern by an object (e.g., a remote controller, a refrigerator, a front door opening / closing monitoring sensor, a pulse measuring instrument, etc.) forming a state signal. Of course, it is also possible to specify only a single object.

When a plurality of objects forming the status signal are designated, the health information forming unit 340 also comprehensively discriminates the health information to determine whether the health care provider is abnormal.

When a status signal is provided from a plurality of objects, the supply and demand of data that can infer the health status of the protected person are diversified.
