All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

In order to explain the technical solutions of the present invention, the following description will be made by way of specific embodiments. Embodiment 1:

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing an implementation process of a human body monitoring method according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The process of the method is as follows:

In step S101, a monitoring function parameter set by the user is received, where the monitoring function parameter includes a range of activities of the ward and a contact information of at least one guardian.

In this embodiment, after the human body monitoring device is activated, the user (generally referred to as the guardian) sets the monitoring function parameter according to the content displayed on the monitoring function setting interface of the personal monitoring device. The user can set the monitoring function parameters through the touch screen of the human body monitoring device, or set the monitoring function parameters through the remote monitoring terminal. The monitoring function parameter setting by the remote monitoring terminal is specifically as follows: The human body monitoring device sends the monitoring function setting interface to the remote monitoring terminal, and the user sets the monitoring function parameter according to the content displayed on the monitoring function setting interface, and the remote monitoring terminal sets the monitoring function. The functional parameters are returned to the human monitoring device.

The monitoring function parameters include monitoring time, the range of activities of the ward, the monitoring method, and the contact information of at least one guardian.

The monitoring time includes a monitoring start time (date/hour/minute) and a monitoring duration (hour/minute), and the parameter setting thereof is as shown in FIG. 2: from 201 1 January 1 21: 00 The point starts to monitor for 15 minutes. In this embodiment, the monitoring start time and the monitoring duration can be set according to actual conditions.

In this embodiment, the number of activities is a number of times that the monitored human body sensor enters the sensing area of the human body sensing sensor during the monitoring duration according to the preset monitoring frequency, and the number of activities can also be understood. For the number of monitoring. It should be noted that the number of activities is the theoretical number of monitoring, and the theoretical monitoring number has a conversion relationship with the actual number of monitoring, that is, the number of theoretical monitoring times = the actual number of monitoring/setting values, and the setting value can be based on actual conditions. The situation is set and can be considered as a constant value, mainly to avoid the actual number of monitoring is too large, and it is not convenient for statistics and analysis.

The range of the number of activities of the ward can be set as follows (but not limited to this): Usually the human body sensor monitors the activity information of the ward every 0.5 seconds, so when the monitoring duration is 15 minutes, the actual monitoring is the most The number of activities was 1800. However, since the number is too large, it is not convenient for statistics and analysis. Therefore, it is necessary to convert the actually monitored times into theoretical monitoring times, that is, 1800/60=30, and the number of activities finally displayed by the system is the theoretical number of monitoring, and The range of activity times is also set according to the theoretical number of monitoring, that is, the range of activity times is set to a range between 0-30 (for example, 10-20); if the monitoring duration is 1 hour, the theoretical monitoring times are up to 120 times. The set number of activities should be in the range of 0-120.

Preferably, in order to prevent the number of stored activities from being excessive, resulting in an error in comparison and a decrease in comparison efficiency, the embodiment further includes clearing when the number of activities is within the range of the number of activities. The number of activities monitored during the pre-monitoring setup time to wait for the next monitoring setup time. Preferably, when the monitoring mode is a short message, when the number of activities is not within the range of the activity times, the human body monitoring device promptly reminds the guardian in a short message according to the arrangement order of the guardian contact manner, and the guardian Determining whether it is necessary to activate a camera and/or a microphone to collect image information and/or sound information, thereby effectively improving the utility and user satisfaction of the human body monitoring device.

In step S104, the collected image information and the sound information are transmitted to the guardian corresponding to the contact method.

Specifically, when the monitoring mode is video, the image information and the sound information collected in a preset time (less than 15 minutes) are combined into one file, and then wired (such as Ethernet) according to the order of the guardian contact information. Or wireless (such as mobile communication network, WIFI, etc.) is sent to the remote monitoring terminal where the guardian is located. When the monitoring mode is a picture, randomly capturing a plurality of pictures in the collected image information, and sequentially sending the captured pictures to the guardian in a wired or wireless manner according to the order of the guardian contact manners. Remote monitoring terminal. The sequential transmission refers to sending in order according to the arrangement order of the guardian's contact information.
