Description

Monitored person monitoring apparatus, method and system

The present invention relates to a monitored person monitoring apparatus, a monitored person monitoring method, and a monitored person monitoring system for monitoring a monitored person to be monitored.

Japan (Japan) is an aging society, more specifically the ratio of population over 65 years old to the total population due to the improvement of living standards accompanying the post-war high economic growth, improvement of sanitary environment and improvement of medical standards, etc. It is a super-aging society with an aging rate exceeding 21%. In 2005, the elderly population aged 65 and over was about 25.56 million compared to the total population of 127.65 million, whereas in 2020, the elderly population was about 124.11 million. The population is predicted to be about 34.56 million. In such an aging society, nurses who need nursing or nursing care due to illness, injury, elderly age, etc., or those who need nursing care (such as those who require nursing care) are those who need nursing in a normal society that is not an aging society. This is expected to increase more than Japan, for example, is a society with a declining birthrate with a total fertility rate of 1.43 in 2013. For this reason, elderly care has been taking place in which elderly nurses, etc., are cared for by an elderly family (spouse, child, brother).

Employees requiring nursing care, etc. enter hospitals and facilities for welfare for the elderly (Japanese elderly law short-term entrance facilities, nursing homes for the elderly and special nursing homes for the elderly, etc.) and receive nursing and care. In such a facility, a situation in which a nurse or the like needs to be injured or fallen out of the bed, for example, by falling from the bed or falling while walking can occur. It is necessary to respond to such a situation as quickly as possible. If such a situation is left unattended, it may develop into a more serious situation. For this reason, in the facility, nurses and caregivers regularly check their safety and state by patrol.

However, the increase in the number of nurses etc. cannot keep up with the increase in the number of nurses required, and the nursing industry and the care industry are chronically short of manpower. Furthermore, since the number of nurses, caregivers and the like is reduced in the semi-night shift and night shift hours compared to the day shift hours, the work load per person increases, and thus the work load is required to be reduced. In addition, the situation of the elderly care is not an exception in the facility, and it is often seen that elderly nurses and the like care for elderly nurses and the like. In general, physical strength declines when older, so the burden of nursing etc. becomes heavier than young nurses etc. even if they are healthy, and their movements and judgments are also delayed.

In order to reduce the labor shortage and the burden on nurses, a technology that complements nursing work and nursing care work is required. For this reason, in recent years, monitored person monitoring techniques for monitoring a monitored person to be monitored, such as a care recipient, have been researched and developed.

For example, there is a nurse call system disclosed in Patent Document 1 as one of such techniques. The nurse call system disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a nurse call slave unit that is installed in a bed and a patient calls a nurse, and a nurse call slave unit that is installed in a nurse station and responds to a call by the nurse call slave unit. A nurse call system having a nurse call parent device, a camera for imaging a patient on a bed from above the bed, and a state in which the patient wakes up from a captured image of the camera and a state in which the patient is separated from the bed State judging means for judging the occurrence of at least one of them and outputting a caution state occurrence signal, and the nurse call master unit has a notifying means for performing a notification operation upon receiving the caution state occurrence signal. The nurse call system transmits a captured image of the camera to the portable terminal upon receiving the attention state generation signal and a portable terminal carried by a nurse to respond to a call from the nurse call slave. Communication control means.

On the other hand, in terms of safety confirmation, a single person living alone is the same as the care recipient and the like and is a subject to be monitored.

By the way, like the nurse call system disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the video of the camera is displayed on the terminal, a supervisor such as a nurse visually grasps the situation of the monitored person such as a nurse. It is convenient because it can. However, if the video is displayed even in the case of a nurse call, the monitor will routinely watch the video, so even though the monitored person is calling for the monitor, Therefore, a time lag occurs in the response of the nurse call to the monitoring person, and an unnecessary burden is imposed on the monitoring person who watches the video.

JP 2014-90913 A

The present invention is an invention made in view of the above-described circumstances, and the object thereof is a monitored person monitoring apparatus and a monitored person that can reduce the burden on the supervisor more with less time lag in dealing with nurse calls. To provide a monitoring method and a monitored person monitoring system.

In the monitored person monitoring device, the monitored person monitoring method, and the monitored person monitoring system of the present invention, the behavior of the monitored person is detected, the detection result is notified to the terminal device, the nurse call is accepted, and the nurse call is received. The terminal device is notified.

In the present embodiment, the SU monitoring processing unit 142a, when notifying the detection result to the predetermined terminal device SP, TA via the management server device SVa, displays the detection result together with the image of the monitored person Ob. Terminal device SP, TA is notified, and when the nurse call is notified to the predetermined terminal device SP, TA via the management server device SVa, the nurse call is not accompanied with the image of the monitored person Ob. The predetermined terminal devices SP and TA are notified. When notifying the nurse call to the predetermined terminal devices SP and TA, the SU monitoring processing unit 142a stores a nurse, which will be described later, indicating that the nurse call has been received in advance and stored in the predetermined terminal devices SP and TA. A communication signal (first nurse call notification communication signal) containing a command (command) for displaying a call reception screen on the predetermined terminal devices SP and TA is transmitted to the predetermined terminal devices SP and TA as notification of the nurse call. To do.

More specifically, the predetermined action is set in advance. In the present embodiment, for example, when the monitored person Ob wakes up, the monitored person Ob leaves the bedding, the monitored person Ob There are four actions: a fall that falls from the bedding and a fall that the monitored person Ob falls. For example, the SU monitoring processing unit 142a detects the head of the monitored person Ob based on the image (target image) of the imaging target captured by the imaging unit 11, and the size of the detected head of the monitored person Ob is detected. Based on this time change, the monitored person Ob is detected from getting up, getting out of bed, falling, and falling. More specifically, first, the SU storage unit 16 stores the location area of the bedding BT and the first to third threshold values Th1 to Th3 as one of the various predetermined data. The first threshold Th1 is a value for identifying the size of the head in the lying posture and the size of the head in the sitting posture in the region where the bedding BT is located. The second threshold Th2 is a value for identifying whether or not the head is in the standing posture in the living room RM excluding the region where the bedding BT is located. The third threshold Th3 is a value for identifying whether or not the head is in the lying position in the living room RM excluding the area where the bedding BT is located. In the detection, first, the SU monitoring processing unit 142a extracts a moving object region from the target image as a human body region of the monitored person Ob, for example, by a background difference method or a frame difference method. Next, the SU monitoring processing unit 142a uses, for example, a circular or elliptical Hough transform from the extracted moving body region, for example, by pattern matching using a head model prepared in advance, or for example, for head detection. The head region of the monitored person Ob is extracted by the neural network learned in step (b). Then, the SU monitoring processing unit 142a detects wake-up, getting-off, falling, and falling from the extracted position and size of the head. For example, the SU monitoring processing unit 142a determines that the position of the extracted head is within the location area of the bedding BT, and the size of the extracted head uses the first threshold Th1 to determine the size of the lying posture. When the time changes from the sitting posture to the size of the sitting posture, it is determined that the user gets up and the rising is detected. For example, the SU monitoring processing unit 142a is a case where the position of the extracted head changes over time from the location of the bedding BT to the outside of the location of the bedding BT, and the size of the extracted head is the first When the time changes from a certain size to the size of the standing posture by using the threshold value Th2, it is determined that the user has left the bed, and the bed is detected. For example, the SU monitoring processing unit 142a is a case where the position of the extracted head changes over time from the location of the bedding BT to the outside of the location of the bedding BT, and the size of the extracted head is the first When the time changes from a certain size to the size of the recumbent posture by using the three threshold Th3, it is determined that the vehicle has fallen, and the fall is detected. For example, the SU monitoring processing unit 142a uses the third threshold value Th1 when the extracted head position is in the room RM excluding the location area of the bedding BT, and the extracted head size is the third threshold Th1. When the time changes from the size to the size of the recumbent posture, it is determined that the vehicle has fallen, and the fall is detected. When the predetermined action is detected in this way, the SU monitoring processing unit 142a uses this communication result and the target image used when obtaining the detection result as an image of the monitored person Ob. The IF unit 15 notifies the management server device SVa. More specifically, the SU monitoring processing unit 142a is used to detect the sensor ID of the own device, the detection result (one or more of getting up, getting out of bed, falling and falling) in the present embodiment and the predetermined action. A communication signal (first monitoring information communication signal) containing the target image is transmitted to the management server device SVa via the SU communication IF unit 15. The image may be at least one of a still image and a moving image. In the present embodiment, as described later, first, a still image is notified, and the moving image is distributed in response to a user request. First, a moving image may be distributed, a still image and a moving image may be transmitted, and the still image and the moving image may be displayed on the terminal devices SP and TA by screen division.

On the other hand, when the nurse call is accepted by the nurse call acceptance operation unit 13, the SU monitoring processing unit 142a notifies the management server device SVa of this nurse call by the SU communication IF unit 15 without the image of the monitored person Ob. . More specifically, the SU monitoring processing unit 142a transmits the first nurse call notification communication signal containing the sensor ID of the own device and information indicating that the nurse call has been received (nurse call reception information) to the SU communication IF unit 15. To the management server device SVa. The nurse call reception information is stored in advance in the terminal devices SP and TA, and a nurse call reception screen (for example, the nurse call reception screen 53 shown in FIG. 10) indicating that the nurse call has been received is displayed on the terminal devices SP and TA. It also functions as a command to be executed.

The SU call processing unit 143 performs a voice call with the terminal devices SP and TA by using the SU sound input / output unit 12 or the like. The SU call processing unit 143 receives a communication signal (first sound accommodation communication signal) containing information (first sound information, first sound data) representing the first sound input from the SU sound input / output unit 12 as the terminal. When a communication signal (second sound accommodation communication signal) containing information (second sound information, second sound data) representing the second sound is received from the terminal devices SP and TA is transmitted to the devices SP and TA. The second sound accommodated in the second sound accommodation communication signal is output from the SU sound input / output unit 12. The SU call processing unit 143 performs a voice call by VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) with the terminal devices SP and TA, for example, using the SU sound input / output unit 12 or the like.

When there is a video distribution request from the terminal devices SP and TA via the communication IF unit 3, the SU streaming processing unit 144 generates the request to the terminal device SP and the terminal device TA by the imaging unit 11. The moving image (for example, a live moving image) is distributed via the SU communication IF unit 15 by streaming reproduction.

It is a button. The “LIVE” button 526 is a button for requesting a live video, and is a button for inputting an instruction to display a video captured by the sensor device SUa with the sensor ID.

On the other hand, in the process S35, the portable terminal device TA is monitored by the TA monitoring processing unit 322 of the TA control processing unit 32, which is accommodated in the second nurse call notification communication signal received from the management server device SVa in the process S31. Monitoring information related to monitoring Ob is stored (recorded) in the TA monitoring information storage unit 331.

Following this processing S35, the TA monitoring processing unit 322 receives a nurse call stored in advance in the TA storage unit 33 in accordance with the nurse call reception information accommodated in the second monitoring information communication signal received in step S31. For example, a nurse call reception screen 53 shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the TA display unit 36 (S36).

As an example, the nurse call reception screen 53 shown in FIG. 10 includes a menu bar area 511, a monitored person name area 521, a detection information display area 522, and a message indicating that a nurse call has been received (for example, “Nurse call is ”), A nurse call reception notification display area 531, a“ corresponding ”button 524, and a“ speak ”button 525. In the nurse call reception screen 53, the detection information display area 522 displays only the elapsed time from the reception time of the second nurse call notification communication signal received in step S31 (or the reception time of reception of the nurse call). The

For the purpose of the present embodiment, the nurse call reception screen 53 does not include the “watch live” button 526, and viewing of moving images in a live state is prohibited.

And in said process S37 performed after each of these process S24 and process S36, portable terminal device TA performs input operation with the touch panel which comprises TA input part 35 and TA display part 36 by TA control process part 32. It is determined whether or not it has been accepted. If the input operation is not accepted as a result of this determination (No), the mobile terminal device TA returns the process to step S37. On the other hand, if the input operation is accepted as a result of the determination, the mobile terminal TA The apparatus TA executes the next process S38.

In this process S38, the portable terminal device TA performs an appropriate process according to the content of the input operation by the TA control processing unit 32, and ends this process.

For example, when the mobile terminal device TA accepts an input operation of the “corresponding” button 524 by the TA control processing unit 32 (that is, when accepting the correspondence intention), the portable terminal device TA is currently displayed on the TA display unit 36. A sensor corresponding to the monitoring information of the monitored person Ob displayed on the TA display unit 36 with the fact that “corresponding” has been received is added to the monitoring information of the monitoring person Ob and stored in the TA monitoring information storage unit 331. A communication signal (correspondence acceptance notification communication signal) containing information indicating that the ID and “corresponding” are accepted (correspondence acceptance information) is transmitted to the management server device SVa. The management server device SVa that has received the correspondence reception notification communication signal, by the SV control processing unit 22a, has received a communication signal (correspondence reception known communication) containing the sensor ID and the correspondence reception information contained in the received correspondence reception notification communication signal. Signal) to the terminal devices SP and TA by broadcast communication. As a result, regarding the sensor ID corresponding to the monitoring information of the monitored person Ob displayed on the TA display unit 36, the fact that “corresponding” has been received is synchronized between the terminal devices SP and TA.

Further, for example, when the mobile terminal device TA receives an input operation of the “speak” button 525 by the TA control processing unit 32, the TA call processing unit 323 monitors the monitored person Ob displayed on the TA display unit 36. A communication signal (call request communication signal) containing information such as requesting a voice call is transmitted to the sensor device SUa, and the corresponding sensor device SUa is connected to the sensor device SUa via the network NW so that the voice call can be made. As a result, a voice call can be performed between the mobile terminal device TA and the sensor device SUa. When the TA control processing unit 32 receives an input operation of an “end” button (not shown) that is a button for inputting an instruction to end a voice call, the mobile terminal device TA receives the TA call processing unit 323. A communication signal (call end communication signal) containing information such as a request to end the voice call is transmitted to the sensor device SUa that monitors the monitored person Ob displayed on the TA display unit 36. Thereby, the voice call between the portable terminal device TA and the sensor device SUa is terminated.

Further, for example, when the mobile terminal device TA receives an input operation of the “watch live” button 526 by the TA control processing unit 32, the TA streaming processing unit 324 displays the monitored object currently displayed on the TA display unit 36. A communication signal (moving image distribution request communication signal) containing information such as a request for live video distribution is transmitted to the sensor device SUa that monitors the person Ob, and the sensor device SUa and the network NW corresponding thereto are transmitted. The video is connected to be downloadable via the sensor device SUa, and the live video is distributed from the sensor device SUa. The received video is displayed on the TA display unit 36 by streaming playback. On the monitoring information screen 52 that displays the live video, the video is displayed in the image area 523, and a “live end” button (not shown) is displayed instead of the “view live” button 526. As a result, live video is displayed on the mobile terminal device TA. The “live end” button (not shown) is a button for requesting the end of the moving image, and ends (stops) the distribution of the moving image captured by the sensor device SUa of the sensor ID and ends (stops) the display. This is a button for inputting an instruction to be performed. When the TA control processing unit 32 receives an input operation of the “live end” button, the portable terminal device TA monitors the monitored person Ob currently displayed on the TA display unit 36 by the TA streaming processing unit 324. A communication signal (moving image distribution end communication signal) containing information such as requesting the end of moving image distribution is transmitted to the sensor device SU, and a still image is displayed on the TA display unit 36. Accordingly, the mobile terminal device TA ends the live video display.

The mobile terminal device TA operates as described above regarding the detection results received from the sensor device SUa via the management server device SVa and each notification of each nurse call (re-notification).

As described above, the monitored person monitoring system MSa, the sensor apparatus SUa and the management server apparatus SVa as an example of the monitored person monitoring apparatus, and the monitored person monitoring method implemented in these embodiments are nurses. When the call is notified to the terminal devices SP and TA, the nurse call is notified to the terminal devices SP and TA without accompanying the image of the monitored person Ob, so that the terminal devices SP and TA are the images of the monitored person Ob. The nurse call notification is output without accompanying. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the monitor (user) handling the terminal devices SP and TA from habitually seeing the image of the monitored person Ob when the nurse call is made. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an unnecessary burden on the monitoring person that a time lag occurs in the response to the nurse call due to watching the image of the monitored person Ob or to watch the video. Therefore, the monitored person monitoring system MSa, the monitored person monitoring device (the sensor device SUa and the management server device SVa), and the monitored person monitoring method have a smaller time lag in response to the nurse call, and the burden on the supervisor. Can be reduced more.

The monitored person monitoring system MSa, the monitored person monitoring device (the sensor device SUa and the management server device SVa), and the monitored person monitoring method do not accommodate the image of the monitored person Ob, and receive a nurse call reception screen 53. Since the nurse call notification communication signal containing the nurse call reception information is transmitted to the terminal devices SP and TA as a command (command) for displaying the terminal device SP and TA on the terminal devices SP and TA, the terminal devices SP and TA are images of the monitored person Ob. The nurse call reception screen 53 is displayed without accompanying. Therefore, the monitored person monitoring system MSa, the monitored person monitoring device (the sensor device SUa and the management server device SVa), and the monitored person monitoring method have a smaller time lag in response to the nurse call, and the burden on the supervisor. Can be reduced more.

Since the monitored person monitoring system MSa, the monitored person monitoring device (the sensor device SUa and the management server device SVa) and the monitored person monitoring method can perform a voice call with the terminal devices SP and TA, the terminal device SP The supervisor who handles TA can respond to the nurse call of the monitored person Ob by voice call when the nurse call is notified. For this reason, depending on the content of the nurse call grasped by the voice call, it is possible to deal with the nurse call only by the voice call, or to go to the person being monitored Ob after preparing for the handling of the nurse call in advance.

Next, another embodiment will be described.
(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a sensor device in the monitored person monitoring system according to the second embodiment. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the management server device in the monitored person monitoring system according to the second embodiment.

The monitored person monitoring system MSb in the second embodiment using the monitored person monitoring apparatus of the second aspect is, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, one or more sensor devices SUb (SUb-1 to SUb-4). ), A management server device SVb, a fixed terminal device SP, and one or a plurality of portable terminal devices TA (TA-1, TA-2). The fixed terminal device SP and the portable terminal device TA in the monitored person monitoring system MSb of the second embodiment are the same as the fixed terminal device SP and the portable terminal device TA in the monitored person monitoring system MSa of the first embodiment, respectively. Since there is, explanation is omitted.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the sensor device SUb in the second embodiment includes an imaging unit 11, an SU sound input / output unit 12, a nurse call reception operation unit 13, a SU control processing unit 14b, and a SU communication IF. Unit 15 and SU storage unit 16, and SU control processing unit 14 b functionally includes SU control unit 141, SU monitoring processing unit 142 b, SU call processing unit 143, and SU streaming processing unit 144. . That is, the sensor device SUb in the second embodiment is functionally replaced with the SU monitoring processing unit 142b in the SU control processing unit 14b instead of the SU monitoring processing unit 142a of the SU control processing unit 14a in the sensor device SUa of the first embodiment. Except for the point provided, it is the same as the sensor device SUa in the first embodiment. Therefore, the imaging unit 11, the SU sound input / output unit 12, the nurse call reception operation unit 13, the SU control unit 141 in the SU control processing unit 14b, the SU call processing unit 143, the SU streaming processing unit 144, the SU communication IF unit 15, In addition, the description of the SU storage unit 16 is omitted.

And receiving the nurse call and notifying the nurse call to the predetermined terminal devices SP and TA via the management server device SVb. In the notification of the detection result, the SU monitoring processing unit 142a according to the first embodiment transmits the detection result to the management server device SVa along with the image of the monitored person Ob, while in the notification of the nurse call, the monitored person is notified. Although the nurse call is transmitted to the management server device SVa without the image of Ob, the SU monitoring processing unit 142b in the second embodiment notifies the detection result with the image of the monitored person Ob in the notification of the detection result. Is transmitted to the management server device SVa, and the nurse call is transmitted to the management server device SVa with the image of the monitored person Ob even in the notification of the nurse call. In this respect, the SU monitoring processing unit 142b in the second embodiment is different from the SU monitoring processing unit 142a in the first embodiment. In other respects, the SU monitoring processor 142b in the second embodiment is the same as the SU monitoring processor 142a in the first embodiment. Therefore, in the operation shown in FIG. 5, in the second embodiment, instead of the process S16a of the first embodiment described above, the sensor device SUb uses the SU monitoring processor 142b to detect its own sensor ID and nurse call reception information. And the process S16b which transmits the 1st nurse call notification communication signal which accommodated the object image to management server apparatus SVb is performed. The target image accommodated in the first nurse call notification communication signal may be an image acquired in the process S11, or may be an image newly acquired from the imaging unit 11 in the process S16b.

The SV monitoring processing unit 222a in the first embodiment generates a second nurse call notification communication signal containing the sensor ID and nurse call reception information stored in the first nurse call notification communication signal received from the sensor device SUa. The generated second nurse call notification communication signal is transmitted to predetermined terminal devices SP and TA. In other words, the SV monitoring processing unit 222a according to the first embodiment changes the transmission destination of the first nurse call notification communication signal from the management server device SVa to the predetermined terminal devices SP and TA, thereby the first nurse call notification communication signal. The second nurse call notification communication signal can be generated. In the second embodiment, as described above, since the first nurse call notification communication signal of the second embodiment includes the image of the monitored person Ob, the SV monitoring processing unit 222b of the second embodiment It is necessary to generate the second nurse call notification communication signal by removing the image of the monitored person Ob included in the first nurse call notification communication signal. In this regard, the SV monitoring processing unit 222b in the second embodiment is different from the SV monitoring processing unit 222a in the first embodiment. In other respects, the SV monitoring processing unit 222b in the second embodiment is the same as the SV monitoring processing unit 222a in the first embodiment. Therefore, in the operation illustrated in FIG. 6, in the second embodiment, instead of the process S24a of the first embodiment described above, the management server apparatus SVb uses the SV monitoring processing unit 222b to perform the first nurse according to the second embodiment. A process S24b for transmitting the second nurse call notification communication signal containing the sensor ID and the nurse call reception information to the predetermined terminal devices SP and TA without accommodating the target image accommodated in the call notification communication signal is executed. .
