Description
More particularly, the present invention relates to a fall detection apparatus and a method thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a fall detection apparatus and a method thereof, and more particularly to a fall detection apparatus and a method thereof that detect fall accidents occurring frequently in real life for an elderly person or an uncomfortable pedestrian, The present invention relates to a fall detection apparatus and a method thereof for positively preparing for a car accident.
As the society rapidly progresses into an aging society, a variety of healthcare services are emerging that help elderly people and pedestrians who are uncomfortable to run their daily life with peace of mind.
Especially, the elderly who live alone like the elderly living alone often have accidents caused by falls because they have more time to live alone like elderly living alone. Therefore, various fall relief services Has been in the limelight, and research on this has been actively proceeding.
However, the conventional technology for the fall structure has problems such as an increase in battery consumption, an increase in fall detection error, and a reduction in filtering efficiency for error detection since the sensor and the mobile phone are separated and transmit data wirelessly. (A user wearing or pulling a sensor, shaking with a hand, jumping or hitting a sensor), which is similar to a fall sensor, There is a problem of judging by falling.
Accordingly, in order to accurately measure whether or not a fall occurs, rather than determining whether a fall occurs in real time using data currently measured, it is necessary to accurately determine fall and similar actions by determining not only measurement data determined as a fall, And to provide a fall detection apparatus and a method that can be judged based on the determination result.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a fall detection apparatus and method capable of preventing a secondary damage that may be caused by a fall by informing a guardian or an emergency center using communication means provided integrally with the fall detection unit do.

The controller may store the acceleration and slope information extracted from the acceleration sensor in a data queue, store the data in the data queue at a predetermined time interval, and store the data in an action queue. A predetermined number of action values are fetched from the action queue at intervals and compared with a predefined action column pattern to decide whether to fall. In this case, the acceleration sensor may be a three-axis acceleration sensor.
Further, the fall sensing apparatus according to the present invention may further include a GPS unit for detecting current position information, and the controller transmits current position information through the communication unit as a fall occurrence notification.

At this time, since the motion acceleration component is located in the high frequency component in the frequency domain and the gravity acceleration component is located in the low frequency component, the acceleration

When the
The falling behavior determiner 132 determines the behavior using a predetermined number of data (for example, 20) stored in the data queue at a predetermined time interval (for example, 200 ms) and stores the data in an action queue (S630). Specifically, the falling
At this time, the action judgment is performed by using 20 data stored in the data queue, and the inclination and acceleration values corresponding to the x, y and z axes of the 20 data, whether or not these values exceed a predetermined threshold value, A change amount of time before / after the acceleration, whether or not the change amount exceeds a threshold value, and the like are used. In this case, the time variation means a change in values before / after relative to the current tilt / acceleration. For example, assume that the acceleration at the current point is 10, the previous three accelerations are 1, 3, and 6, and the subsequent three accelerations are 4, 1, 0. (2 * A1 + 3 * A2 + 4 * A3) of the acceleration differences of the previous time (3-1 = 2, 6-3 = 3, 10-6 = 4) at each time point, (6 * B1 + 3 * B2 + 1 * B3) of the acceleration differences (10-4 = 6,4-1 = 3,1-0 = 1) at each time point. The weights A and B in the weighted sum are inversely proportional to the time difference from the current time point, which is the weighted value that decreases as the distance from the current point increases. The decision model for judging the behavior in the input data is constructed using the decision tree method which is a widely used machine learning machine.
The action judgment information stored in the action queue by the fall
The final decision as to whether or not the fall occurs is determined by analyzing the continuous pattern of the actions stored in the action queue. (S640) To this end, a certain number of actions in the action queue (for example, 10), and finally determines the fall by comparison with a predefined behavior pattern.
The final judgment process of the fall or not can be made more reliable than the judgment of the fall of the present time in real time.
Examples of predefined action rows can be set in various ways, such as (*, falling,?, Lying, lying), (*, falling,?,?, Lying, lying). In this case, '*' means a pattern in which an arbitrary action occurs irrespective of the number, and? Denotes a pattern in which an arbitrary action occurs once.
For example, when there is a pattern of behavior such as walking (walking, walking, falling, walking, walking), there is an overturning behavior, However, it can be confirmed that the walking action continues. In such a case, a fall (fall) occurred, but the fall is ignored and the fall is ignored. Another example is that when there is a row of patterns such as (walking, falling, sitting, lying, lying), there is a 'sitting' after the falling, , And falls.

First, fall information and fall-down information are received from the fall detection device 10 (S810). Here, the fall information and fall-down information include a fall occurrence information of a user, user personal information, and the like.
When the fall information is received, the fall information database is searched using the personal protection of the received fall information, the identity of the user is confirmed, and at the same time, the alert contact is searched for at the user's fall (S810)
Finally, in step S830, the user is notified of the dropping of the user information by the notified contact information.
Meanwhile, the method of the present invention as described above can be written in a computer program. And the code and code segments constituting the program can be easily deduced by a computer programmer in the field. In addition, the created program is stored in a computer-readable recording medium (information storage medium), and is read and executed by a computer to implement the method of the present invention. And the recording medium includes all types of recording media readable by a computer.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. The present invention is not limited to the drawings.
