Description

自動服務型機器人Auto service robot

本發明係關於一種服務型機器人,尤其一種具有自動服務供給物品給一特定者取用,及提醒特定者服用物品之效果的自動服務型機器人。
The present invention relates to a service robot, and more particularly to an automatic service robot having an automatic service supply item for a specific person and reminding a specific person to take an item.

由於近年來高齡人口逐漸增加,使得老人長期照顧及安養機構就養之需求亦隨之增加,可是安養機構的工作服務人員的人數卻反而逐年有遞減的趨向,如依據內政部統計通報顯示各老人長期照顧及安養機構每工作人員平均服務人數為2.13人,由上述數據可知,明顯照顧老人的工作人員的人數供不應求,使得每一工作人員至少都得負責照顧2位以上老人的生活起居外,還需記住所負責老人的用藥時間及食用藥量,以便提醒老人按時吃藥。
  但是,工作人員忙於其他事務時,時常容易忘記老人的用藥時間,例如將某一位老人的用藥時間記到另一位老人的用藥時間,以導致每一位老人無法有效獲得完善的照顧。
  另者,業者為了改善老人用藥提醒的問題,以減輕工作人員的負擔及人數不足的問題,便研發出一種智慧藥盒,依據每一位老人對提示音之偏好設定,以提醒老人按時吃藥,如有8位老人,第1位選擇語音的提示音,第2~5位選擇鬧鈴提示音,第6~8位選擇樂曲提示音,使得每一位老人各自聽到自己的提示音時,便可得知用藥時間到了,以有效達到提醒老人用藥的效果。
  雖習知之智慧藥盒能藉由各種不同的提示音達到提醒的效果,可是卻延伸出另一問題,即每一位老人必須記住自行設定的提示音,若記錯提示音時容易造成老人重複用藥的情形發生。另外,當安養機構內老人的人數多時,因智慧藥盒內的提示音類型有限,令提示音容易發生重覆使用的現象,以導致老人聽錯提示音而提前用藥,或者是重覆用藥之堪慮,所以這些問題是目前業者仍無法克服的問題。
以上所述,習知之技術具有下列缺點:
1.無法有效達到提醒用藥的效果;
2.無法自動服務供給物品給老人取用。
  是以,要如何解決上述習用之問題與缺失,即為本案之發明人與從事此行業之相關廠商所亟欲研究改善之方向所在者。
Due to the gradual increase in the elderly population in recent years, the demand for long-term care and security institutions for the elderly has also increased. However, the number of staff members in the maintenance agencies has been decreasing year by year, as shown by the Ministry of the Interior. The average number of servings per staff member of the elderly long-term care and security institutions is 2.13. According to the above data, the number of staff who obviously take care of the elderly is in short supply, so that each staff member must at least take care of the living environment of more than two elderly people. In addition, it is necessary to remember the time of medication and the amount of medication used by the elderly in charge to remind the elderly to take medicine on time.
However, when the staff is busy with other matters, it is often easy to forget the time of medication for the elderly. For example, the time of medication for one old person is recorded to the time of medication for another elderly person, so that each elderly person cannot effectively obtain proper care.
In addition, in order to improve the problem of medication reminders for the elderly, in order to alleviate the burden of staff and the shortage of people, the industry has developed a smart kit, based on the preferences of each elderly person to remind the elderly to eat on time. Medicine, if there are 8 old people, the first one selects the voice prompt tone, the second to the 5th chooses the alarm tone, and the 6th to 8th selects the music tone, so that each old person hears his own tone. , you can know that the time of medication has arrived, in order to effectively reach the effect of reminding the elderly to take medicine.
Although the known wisdom kit can achieve the reminder effect by various prompt sounds, it extends another problem, that is, each elderly person must remember the self-set prompt sound, and it is easy to cause the elderly if the wrong sound is recorded. Repeated medications occur. In addition, when the number of elderly people in the security institution is large, the type of prompt sound in the smart kit is limited, so that the prompt sound is likely to be repeatedly used, so that the elderly can hear the wrong tone and use the medicine in advance, or repeat The use of drugs is a concern, so these problems are still unsolvable by the current industry.
As described above, the prior art has the following disadvantages:
1. Can not effectively achieve the effect of reminding medication;
2. It is not possible to automatically supply the items for the elderly.
Therefore, how to solve the above problems and problems in the past, that is, the inventors of this case and the relevant manufacturers engaged in this industry are eager to study the direction of improvement.
