The village broadcasting system 100 according to the present embodiment includes a voice output unit 121, a voice control unit 123, The system controller 190, the microphone unit 181, the dementia diagnosis unit 183, the first monitoring unit 140, the notification unit 150, the second monitoring unit 160, the door control unit 130, and the display unit ( 170).

In general, a village broadcasting system 100 for members may be installed in a village such as a rural farming / fishing village, and the village broadcasting system 100 protects the lives and property of local residents safely and safely lives safely. It transmits various kinds of information quickly and accurately digitally so that it can operate.

Specifically, the village broadcasting system 100 may be installed in a home, and may include a transmitter 113 for transmitting various broadcast information as a digital signal and a receiver 111 for receiving a digital signal.

The voice output unit 121 may convert the transmitted digital signal into voice information and output the voice to a resident in the home. The voice output unit 121 converts the transmitted digital signal into voice and transmits the same to a resident in the home. In this case, the voice output unit 121 may be a speaker. The voice output unit 121 may control the size of the voice output by the voice controller 123 which will be described later.

The voice controller 123 controls the size of the voice output through the voice output unit 121 according to the response of the inhabitants in the home corresponding to the voice output by the voice output unit 121.

The system controller 190 determines the presence of a resident in the home using the voice output by the voice output unit 121, and determines the operation mode of the village broadcasting system 100 according to the presence of the resident in the home. Can be controlled.

Through the voice output unit 121 and the voice control unit 123 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to determine whether or not a resident is living in the home. Specifically, referring to Figure 1 below, after outputting a message (for example, "Are you at home?") At a certain volume through the voice output unit 121, if there is a resident's response, the resident in the home Can be judged to exist. At this time, the resident's response is detected by the resident's movement detected by the motion detection sensor (not shown) to be described later, the resident's response voice detected by the voice sensor (not shown), and the touch sensor (not shown). It can be the contact of the occupant.

If there is no response from the occupant after outputting a message of a predetermined size, the voice controller 123 outputs a message through the voice output unit 121 while gradually increasing the size of the voice, and responds to the occupant after outputting the voice. The presence of a resident in the household can be determined according to.

If there is no response from the resident even if the volume of the output voice exceeds the preset volume, the system controller 190 determines that the resident does not exist in the home, and accordingly, the village broadcasting system 100 is placed in the absent mode. You can switch.

<Picture 1>

If there is a response from the tenant in the absent mode, the system controller 190 may activate the village broadcasting system 100.

The microphone 181 may be installed in a home to receive voice information of a resident. The microphone unit 181 receives the voice information of the occupant and converts the signal into digital signals, and the converted digital signal is transmitted to the outside of the home through the transmitter 113.

The dementia diagnosis unit 183 may diagnose dementia of the tenant by analyzing voice information of the tenant obtained through the microphone unit 181.

FIG. 2 is a reference diagram for explaining a method of determining whether to diagnose dementia in a village broadcasting system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the dementia diagnosis unit 183 is obtained from a microcomputer. If any one or more items fall below a predetermined order, any one of the spoken tempo, pronunciation accuracy, vocabulary, and speech consistency of the occupant may determine whether the occupant is dementia.

In detail, the dementia diagnosis unit 183 classifies nouns, verbs, investigations, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, and the like, and obtains the speech information obtained from the microphone, and recognizes the semantic of the specific word and uses it in one sentence. Calculate the number of times, the time from one word to the next, and the time from the beginning to the end of a sentence. In addition, the dementia diagnosis unit 183 detects signs through the speaking speed, vocabulary, and pronunciation accuracy of the tenant, and detects the tenant's psychological state (eg, calmness, anger, excitement).

Dementia diagnosis unit 183, based on the extracted voice information, detects signs through the resident's speech tempo (speaking speed), pronunciation accuracy, vocabulary, speech consistency (consistency of speech topics), and obtained through the indication detection If the results do not meet the stunned criteria, the resident's dementia can be judged.

In this case, the 'preset criteria' may be set through voice information acquired in the past through the use of the resident's microphone. Specifically, whether the word spoken by the tenant and the words spoken by the resident are longer than before, and whether the pronunciation of the word is less accurate than before (the reference word used is a relatively frequent word). For example, the tenant's most commonly used words, and whether the tenant has an ambiguous expression such as 'this', 'that', or 'it' that is not the exact word for the object (the entire utterance). (Determining whether the occupancy of the indicated pronoun in the sentence is above the threshold), and whether the resident's dementia is consistent based on whether the narration theme is consistent (ie gibberish) or not. If the criteria are not met, the tenant can be determined to have dementia.

In addition, the psychological state (angry, excitement) of the resident can be detected in addition to the above-described criteria, and this can be added as a criterion (whether the resident's feelings change rapidly) to determine whether the resident has dementia.

When it is determined that the tenant is dementia through the dementia diagnosis unit 183, the system controller 190 may transmit a message to a hospital, a guardian, or the like, to inform whether the tenant has dementia.

On the other hand, the first monitoring unit 140 may monitor the gas leakage. If the occupant corresponds to dementia through the dementia diagnosis unit 183, the gas sensor (not shown) may be operated to monitor whether the gas leaks. When the home gas leakage is confirmed as a result of the monitoring, the system controller 190 may block the home gas leakage by blocking a gas valve (not shown).

The notification unit 150 notifies the gas leakage warning signal when it is determined that the gas is leaked according to the gas sensing result of the first monitoring unit 140.

The gas leakage warning signal may be turned off through the operation of a release button or the gas supplied into the home.

The second monitoring unit 160 is installed in the home to sense the movement of the resident by sensing the movement of the resident, and determines whether an emergency situation occurs according to the movement of the resident.

In this case, the second monitoring unit 160 may be a camera, and determines whether the occupant is in an emergency state by using a change of pixels constituting an image of two consecutive frames of an image captured by the camera.

3 is a reference diagram for explaining a method of determining an emergency situation in a village broadcasting system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, two consecutive frames are moved upward and downward. The occupant's emergency situation is determined based on the amount of change in the pixels constituting the frame image. Specifically, the two consecutive frames a and b are divided into upper and lower parts based on the center of the frame, and the occupant is occupied when the pixels of the image in the upper part of the frame decrease rapidly and the pixels of the image in the lower part of the frame increase rapidly. Judging by the fall, the tenant is determined to be in an emergency.

4 is a reference diagram for explaining a photographing method in a village broadcasting system 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, the camera extracts a feature point of a face of a resident in a home and resides therein. The front face of the phosphorus can be enlarged to take a face picture. In the present embodiment, the camera not only determines the emergency situation, but also photographs and stores the front face photograph of the occupant. If the resident is an elderly person to take and store the front picture to use it as a post-mortem picture. When a face photograph is taken through the camera, the occupant must stare directly at the camera to capture the desired face. Therefore, the camera generates an event voice (for example, a beep voice) to direct the occupant's eyes to the camera. Look directly at the camera.

In addition, the second monitoring unit 160 may be a motion detection sensor (not shown) for detecting a movement of a resident in the home.

The motion detection sensor (not shown) may be provided in plurality, and the plurality of motion detection sensors (not shown) may have different installation positions. The installation position of the motion detection sensor (not shown) may be installed at different heights on the same vertical line. In this case, three motion detection sensors (not shown) may be installed at an upper, middle, and lower heights. When the occupant suddenly collapses, the signals sensed by the motion sensor (not shown) installed in the upper, middle, and lower directions are sensed by all of the first three motion sensors (not shown). The signal is sensed only by the motion detection sensor (not shown) installed at the height of the lower, and it can be determined that the occupant is in an emergency due to the difference in the sensing signal.

In addition, whether the occupant is in an emergency state is determined by the system control unit 190 that the occupant is present in the home, the motion detection sensor (not shown) for a predetermined time does not detect the movement of the occupant In other words, the tenant may fall and be judged to be in an emergency.

When it is determined that the occupant is in an emergency situation according to the result of the first monitoring unit 140 or the second monitoring unit 160, the door controller 130 opens the door of the home. That is, when it is determined that gas is leaked through the first monitoring unit 140 or when the occupant is suddenly collapsed by the second monitoring unit 160, it is determined as an emergency situation, and accordingly, the door controller 130 is determined. ) Opens the door of the home to inform the outside person (passengers, etc.) of the emergency in the home, and allows the outside person to enter the home to lock the gas valve or help the occupant to release the emergency .

In this case, the display unit 170 is exposed to the outside to display an emergency message to the outside to help an external person to grasp the emergency situation in the home. The display unit 170 may be provided on the door to be exposed to the outside as the door is rotated and opened. When the door is formed as a case structure, the display unit 170 may be provided at the side of the door to be exposed to the outside when the door is opened. The emergency message may be formed of various phrases, and a voice message may also be output to attract the attention of an external person.

As described above, according to the present invention, the voice output unit 121 and the voice control unit 123 can determine whether the residents living in the home, the microphone unit 181 and the dementia diagnosis unit 183 resides Determination of phosphorus can be determined, the first monitoring unit 140 to determine whether the gas leakage in the home and alert, and through the second monitoring unit 160 to determine the situation in which the occupant suddenly collapsed. If an emergency situation occurs, the door controller 130 and the display unit 170 may inform the outside person of the situation and the outside person may enter the home to help the occupant from the emergency situation.
