Abstract

The present invention provides an emergency care communication method of indoor positioning thereof. When an emergency occurs on the care of a patient wearing the wearable carrier, the wearable carrier immediately transmits the activated signal and the emergency care communication signal to a fixed penetration transmission module and a fixed non-penetration transmission module, wherein, the fixed penetration transmission modules can detect mutually and generate a positioning signal of the wearable carrier in one of the indoor spaces. The distance detected between the wearable carrier and the relatively fixed non-transmissive module generates a distance signal. The processing unit receives the emergency care communication signal, the position signal and the distance signal, then analyzes and generates a location signal, which will be transmitted to the communication device. The communication device will issue an alarm while receiving the location signal by the warning unit. Therefore, it reduces the cases of misjudgment the caregiver can immediately know that the person who is in the care of has an emergency and should go to the instant rescue with the location of the person at the first moment.

Description

Emergency care communication method based on indoor positioning

The present invention provides an emergency care communication method based on indoor positioning, in particular a wearable penetrating transmission module, a wearable non-penetrating transmission module, a fixed penetrating transmission module and a fixed non-penetrating transmission module. The penetrating transmission module knows that the wearable carrier is located in one of its indoor spaces and its location, so that caregivers can immediately know that an emergency has occurred and they must go to rescue immediately, so that the caregivers can know the first time The location of the person being cared for to reduce misjudgment.

According to China, with the social changes and the progress of medical and health care, both the fertility rate and the mortality rate have shown a downward trend. Among them, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of our country published a statistical analysis of household registration as of July in 2017. The elderly population over 65 accounted for 13.55. %, the infant population between the ages of 0 and 14 accounted for 13.22%. The elderly were nearly 80,000 more than the children. As of February this year (2017), the gap between the two has been increasing; in addition, due to the rapid trend of the overall population structure The aging population has also increased the number of people who need long-term care (hereinafter referred to as long-term care). At the same time, due to the gradual decline of the family's care function, the pressure of individual and family care is increasing, which in turn causes social and economic problems. Therefore, the establishment of a perfect long-term care system has become one of the key issues in the complete social security system of our country.

In the ambulance process, most of them are currently rescued by telling the carer’s location. Among them, in an open outdoor situation, the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) can be used. Or it is an assisted global positioning system (Assisted Global Positioning System, AGPS) to report the location of the caregiver; while indoors, it relies on wireless signals for positioning.

The conventional wisdom provides a case similar to my country Patent Publication No. I603106 "Technology for determining the location of a device in a crowded indoor environment", which discloses the use of a Wi-Fi time-of-flight (ToF) positioning solution to determine its location. Once the device has determined its location, it can broadcast its location to nearby devices using a low-energy location sharing mechanism that uses low-energy broadcast signals to confirm the location of the device.

Xizhi also provides a case of "Active Radio Frequency Tag Indoor Positioning Architecture and Method", which is similar to my country Patent Publication No. I605727, which reveals that it is calculated by actively sending signals to sensor nodes and comparing them with each other. The current position of the system architecture and its judgment method.

The conventional knowledge provides a case similar to the "System with simultaneous fall detection and positioning" in my country Patent Publication No. M429154, which reveals that when the person being cared for falls, the fall detection and positioning device will issue a warning signal, and at the same time The fall position and warning signal are sent to the display and alarm of the warning device at the care end via the wireless sensing network formed by multiple routers, and the caregiver located next to the device can receive the warning signal and provide immediate rescue.

However, the “Technology for Determining Device Position in a Crowded Indoor Environment” of the Conventional Announcement No. I603106, as shown in Figure 1, is to install wireless communication 10 in each room, and its activation mechanism is through low energy The broadcast signal is closer to one of the wireless communication 10a, and then the location of the low-energy broadcast signal is known; but since there are compartments 20 in each room, if the low-energy broadcast signal is located in the wireless communication 10b in another room, it is closer For the wireless communication 10a in one of the rooms, when each of the wireless communication 10 is sensed, the warning device 30 held by the caregiver will receive the signal generated by the wireless communication 10a in one of the rooms, resulting in a false judgment of low energy The lack of the location of the broadcast signal.

In addition, the case of "Active radio frequency tag indoor positioning architecture and its method" in the conventional bulletin No. I605727 is also the same as the case of "The position determination technology of the device in a crowded indoor environment" in the conventional bulletin No. I603106 Misjudging the absence of the location of the source.

Furthermore, the case of "System with simultaneous fall detection and positioning" of the conventional announcement No. M429154 only uses the upper reference module and the lower reference module to detect whether the person under care has fallen, and only knows In which room the person being cared for fell into, and it is impossible to know which one is in that room, so the accuracy rate is still insufficient.

In view of this, our inventors devoted themselves to further research, and proceeded to develop and improve, in the hope of a better design to solve the above problems, and after continuous experimentation and modification, the present invention came out.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the conventional existence cannot correctly know the location of the low-energy broadcast signal, so that in the event of an emergency, there will be a lack of misjudgment of the location of the care recipient.

In order to achieve the above objectives, our inventors provide an emergency care communication method based on indoor positioning. The steps include: generating at least one emergency care communication signal; one of the emergency care communication signals is transmitted through a wearable The module and a wearable non-penetrating transmission module are respectively transmitted to at least one fixed-type penetrating transmission module and at least one fixed-type non-penetrating transmission module; using one of the wearable penetrating transmission modules The module and the wearable non-penetrating transmission module are electrically connected to the rest of the fixed and non-penetrating transmission modules and calculated and converted into a position signal for emergency care; And send the position signal to a communication device.

According to the aforementioned indoor positioning-based emergency care communication method, it further includes a sub-step: using one of the fixed penetrating transmission modules to electrically connect and sense the other fixed penetrating transmission modules. A position signal is detected, and the fixed non-penetrating transmission module senses a distance signal; and the emergency care communication signal, the position signal and the distance signal are analyzed to generate the position signal.

According to the aforementioned indoor positioning-based emergency care communication method, it further includes the sub-steps: using a wearable carrier to use a distance sensing unit to detect the distance between the wearable carrier and the environment; and using the wearable The carrier monitors the movement state of the wearable carrier in an arc-shaped movement path by a tilting sensor unit.

According to the aforementioned indoor positioning-based emergency care communication method, it further includes the sub-steps: defining a fixed distance value and a movement change setting range, the movement change setting range being those whose movement state returns to calm after strenuous exercise; When the distance value is less than the fixed distance value, and when the movement state meets the movement change setting range, a start signal is generated.

According to the above-mentioned indoor positioning-based emergency care communication method, it further includes the sub-step: receiving the location signal by a warning unit, thereby issuing a warning.

According to the aforementioned indoor positioning-based emergency care communication method, it further includes the sub-steps: defining a button to detect the emergency care communication signal, and transmit the emergency care communication signal for analysis.

Based on the above description and settings, it is obvious that the present invention mainly has the following advantages and effects, which are detailed as follows:

1. When an emergency event occurs to the care recipient wearing the wearable carrier of the present invention, the analysis module senses and generates the activation signal and the emergency care communication signal, and passes the wearable penetrating transmission module and the wearable non-wearing The permeable transmission module respectively transmits the activation signal and the emergency care communication signal to the fixed permeable transmission module and the fixed non-permeable transmission module, and then the fixed permeable transmission module senses each other And generate the position signal of the wearable carrier in an indoor space, and a fixed non-penetrating transmission module senses the distance between it and the wearable carrier, and generates a distance signal, and the post-processing unit receives and analyzes the aforementioned signal The location signal is generated, and then sent to the communication device, and the location signal is received by the warning unit to issue a warning, so that the caregiver can immediately know through the communication device that an emergency has occurred and must go to rescue immediately, thereby reaching the caregiver The location of the person being cared for can be known at the first time to reduce misjudgment.
