Description

Terminal device, terminal device control method, and monitored person monitoring system

The present invention relates to a terminal device suitably used in a monitored person monitoring system for monitoring a monitored person to be monitored, a control method for the terminal apparatus, and the monitored person monitoring system.

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. Moreover, 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 work and night work hours compared to the day work 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 used when a patient calls a medical worker, and includes a call operation unit that detects a call by the patient, a sensor that detects a predetermined state, and the nurse call parent. A slave unit interface that communicates with a device, a call signal generated by the call operation unit detecting the call, and output to the nurse call parent device by the slave unit interface, and the sensor Between the nurse call slave unit having a slave unit control unit that generates a sensor call signal by detecting the state of the slave unit and outputs the sensor call signal to the nurse call master unit through the slave unit interface. A base unit interface for performing communication, a notifying unit for notifying the calling by the patient and the occurrence of the predetermined state, and a predetermined A timer unit for measuring the interval, and when the master unit interface inputs either the call signal or the sensor call signal, the notification unit is operated, and the master unit interface inputs the slave unit call signal And a parent device control unit that controls the notification unit to not operate even if the parent device interface inputs the sensor call signal until the timer unit measures the predetermined time. And a master unit.

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, in the nurse call system disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, when the master unit interface inputs a slave unit call signal from the nurse call slave unit, until the timer unit measures a predetermined time, Control is performed so that the notification unit does not operate even if the parent device interface inputs a sensor call signal from the nurse call slave device. For this reason, even if the medical worker who is an example of a supervisor crawls under the patient in response to a call of a patient which is an example of a monitored person, the sensor detects the state of the medical worker. Since it is not notified, false alarms can be reduced. However, it is not always possible for the supervisor to respond to the nurse call of the monitored person. In such a case, the nurse call system disclosed in Patent Document 1 uniformly performs the notification according to the slave unit call signal. Since the nurse call system disclosed in Patent Literature 1 is controlled so as not to operate, a time zone in which a predetermined state generated in the monitored person is not notified occurs.

The network NW constitutes a so-called intranet by using Internet protocol groups such as TCP (Transmission control protocol) and IP (Internet protocol).

The monitored person monitoring system MS is arranged at an appropriate place according to the monitored person Ob. The monitored person (person to be watched) Ob is, for example, a person who needs nursing due to illness or injury, a person who needs care due to a decrease in physical ability, a single person living alone, or the like. In particular, from the viewpoint of enabling early detection and early action, the monitored person Ob may be a person who needs the detection when a predetermined inconvenient event such as an abnormal state occurs in the person. preferable. For this reason, the monitored person monitoring system MS is suitably arranged in a building such as a hospital, a welfare facility for the elderly, and a dwelling unit according to the type of the monitored person Ob.

The image includes a still image (still image data) and a moving image (moving image data). The imaging unit 11 is disposed so as to be able to monitor a space (location space, in the example shown in FIG. 1, where the monitored person Ob that is a monitoring target to be monitored) is located. The space is imaged as an imaging target from above, an image (image data) overlooking the imaging target is generated, and the imaging target image (target image) is output to the SU control processing unit 14. Preferably, since there is a high probability that the entire monitored person Ob can be imaged, the imaging unit 11 is expected to be located at the head of the monitored person Ob in the bedding on which the monitored person Ob is lying (for example, a bed). It is arranged so that the imaging target can be imaged from directly above the preset planned head position (usually the position where the pillow is disposed). The sensor device SU uses the imaging unit 11 to acquire an image of the monitored person Ob taken from above the monitored person Ob, preferably an image taken from directly above the planned head position.

Such an imaging unit 11 may be a device that generates an image of visible light, but in the present embodiment, it is a device that generates an infrared image so that the monitored person Ob can be monitored even in a relatively dark place. . For example, in this embodiment, the imaging unit 11 has an imaging optical system that forms an infrared optical image of an imaging target on a predetermined imaging surface, and a light receiving surface that matches the imaging surface. An image sensor that is arranged and converts an infrared optical image in the imaging target into an electrical signal, and image data that represents an infrared image in the imaging target by performing image processing on the output of the image sensor It is a digital infrared camera provided with the image processing part etc. which produce | generate. In the present embodiment, the imaging optical system of the imaging unit 11 is preferably a wide-angle optical system (so-called wide-angle lens (including a fisheye lens)) having an angle of view that can image the entire living room RM in which the imaging unit 11 is disposed. .

The SU sound input / output unit 12 is a circuit that inputs and outputs sound. That is, the SU sound input / output unit 12 is a circuit that is connected to the SU control processing unit 14 and generates and outputs a sound corresponding to an electrical signal representing sound according to the control of the SU control processing unit 14. It is a circuit for acquiring the sound of and inputting it into the sensor device SU. The SU sound input / output unit 12 includes, for example, a speaker that converts a sound electrical signal (sound data) into a sound mechanical vibration signal (acoustic signal), and a microphone that converts a sound mechanical vibration signal in the audible region into an electrical signal. And so on. The SU sound input / output unit 12 outputs an electric signal representing an external sound to the SU control processing unit 14, and converts the electric signal input from the SU control processing unit 14 into a sound mechanical vibration signal and outputs the sound. .

The nurse call reception operation unit 13 is connected to the SU control processing unit 14 and is a switch circuit such as a push button switch for inputting the nurse call to the sensor device SU. The nurse call acceptance operation unit 13 may be connected to the SU control processing unit 14 by wire, or may be connected to the SU control processing unit 14 by short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) standard.

The SU communication IF unit 15 is a communication circuit that is connected to the SU control processing unit 14 and performs communication according to the control of the SU control processing unit 14. The SU communication IF unit 15 generates a communication signal containing data to be transferred input from the SU control processing unit 14 in accordance with a communication protocol used in the network NW of the monitored person monitoring system MS, and the generated communication The signal is transmitted to other devices SV, SP, TA via the network NW. The SU communication IF unit 15 receives communication signals from other devices SV, SP, and TA via the network NW, extracts data from the received communication signals, and the SU control processing unit 14 can process the extracted data. The data is converted into data in a proper format and output to the SU control processing unit 14. The SU communication IF unit 15 includes, for example, a communication interface circuit that complies with the IEEE 802.11 standard or the like.

The SU storage unit 16 is a circuit that is connected to the SU control processing unit 14 and stores various predetermined programs and various predetermined data under the control of the SU control processing unit 14. Examples of the various predetermined programs include a SU control program that controls each unit of the sensor device SU according to the function of each unit, and a SU monitoring processing program that executes predetermined information processing related to monitoring of the monitored person Ob. And the like. The SU monitoring processing program detects a predetermined action in the monitored person Ob and notifies a predetermined terminal device SP, TA via the management server device SV of the detection result as an example of the predetermined event. When a nurse call is received by the program or the nurse call reception operation unit 13, the management server device SV is notified as another example of the predetermined event, and the terminal device is used by using the SU sound input / output unit 12 or the like. A SU nurse call processing program for performing a voice call with SP and TA, a SU streaming processing program for streaming the moving image generated by the imaging unit 11 to the terminal devices SP and TA that requested the moving image, and the like are included. . For each of the various predetermined data, each program such as a sensor device identifier (sensor ID) that is an identifier for identifying and identifying the sensor device SU of the own device and a communication address of the management server device SV is executed. Data necessary for doing this is included. The SU storage unit 16 includes, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory) that is a nonvolatile storage element, an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) that is a rewritable nonvolatile storage element, and the like. The SU storage unit 16 includes a RAM (Random Access Memory) serving as a working memory of the so-called SU control processing unit 14 that stores data generated during execution of the predetermined program.

The SU control processing unit 14 controls each unit of the sensor device SU according to the function of each unit, and notifies the management server device SV of a predetermined event related to the monitored person Ob that needs to be handled. It is. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the SU control processing unit 14 detects a predetermined action in the monitored person Ob and notifies the management server device SV of the detection result as an example of the predetermined event (notification, Send), receive the nurse call, notify (notify, send) the nurse call to the management server apparatus SV as another example of the predetermined event, make a voice call with the terminal apparatuses SP and TA, and Then, an image including a moving image is generated and the moving image is distributed to the terminal devices SP and TA. The SU control processing unit 14 includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and its peripheral circuits. The SU control processing unit 14 executes a sensor processing unit (SU control unit) 141, a behavior detection processing unit 142, a nurse call processing unit 143, and a sensor side streaming processing unit (SU streaming processing) by executing the control processing program. Part) 144 is functionally provided.

The SU control unit 141 controls each part of the sensor device SU according to the function of each part, and governs overall control of the sensor device SU.

The behavior detection processing unit 142 detects a predetermined behavior set in advance in the monitored person Ob and notifies the management server device SV of a detection result as an example of the predetermined event. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the predetermined action includes, for example, wake-up when the monitored person Ob occurred, leaving the monitored person Ob away from the bedding, falling down when the monitored person Ob fell from the bedding, And four actions of the fall where the monitored person Ob fell. For example, the behavior detection processing unit 142 detects the head of the monitored person Ob based on the target image captured by the imaging unit 11, and based on the temporal change in the size of the detected head of the monitored person Ob. Detects the monitored person's getting up, getting out of bed, falling and falling. More specifically, first, the bedding location area and the first to third threshold values Th1 to Th3 are stored in advance in the SU storage unit 16 as one of the various predetermined data. The first threshold Th1 is a value for discriminating between the size of the head in the lying posture and the size of the head in the sitting posture in the bedding location region. 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 bedding location area. The third threshold Th3 is a value for identifying whether the head is in the lying position in the living room RM excluding the bedding location area. And the action detection process part 142 extracts a moving body area | region as a person's area | region of the to-be-monitored person Ob from a target image by the background difference method or the frame difference method, for example. Next, the behavior detection processing unit 142 uses, for example, a circular or elliptical Hough transform from the extracted moving object 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). Next, the behavior detection processing unit 142 detects wake-up, getting-off, falling, and falling from the extracted position and size of the head. For example, the action detection processing unit may determine whether the extracted head position is within the bedding location area, and the extracted head size is the sitting position from the size of the lying posture by using the first threshold Th1. When the time changes to the size of the posture, it is determined that the user has woken up and the wake-up is detected. For example, the behavior detection processing unit 142 is a case where the position of the extracted head changes with time from the bedding location area to the bedding location area, and the extracted head size is the second threshold value. When the time changes from a certain size to the size of the standing posture by using Th2, it is determined that the user has left the bed and the bed is detected. For example, the behavior detection processing unit 142 is a case where the position of the extracted head changes with time from the bedding location area to the bedding location area, and the extracted head size is the third threshold value. When the time changes from a certain size to the size of the recumbent posture by using Th3, it is determined as a fall and the fall is detected. For example, the action detection processing unit 142 uses the third threshold Th3 when the extracted head position is in the room RM excluding the bedding location area and the extracted head size is the third threshold Th3. 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.

Since the person area on the image is within a predetermined size (width, size), the moving object area to be extracted as the person area is also within the predetermined size (width, size). It becomes. For this reason, a range to be extracted as a moving body region is preset, and when a moving body region is extracted from the target image, for example, by a background difference method or a frame difference method, The moving object region extracted from the target image by, for example, the background difference method or the frame difference method may be excluded from the moving object region extracted as the person region.

When the predetermined behavior is detected in this way, the behavior detection processing unit 142 notifies the event containing event information (event information) representing the content of the predetermined event (phenomenon) related to the monitored person Ob. The first event notification communication signal is notified to the management server device SV by the SU communication IF unit 15. More specifically, the behavior detection processing unit 142 is a communication signal (first event notification communication signal) containing a sensor ID of the own device, event information indicating the content of the event, and a target image used for detection of the predetermined behavior. ) Is transmitted to the management server device SV via the SU communication IF unit 15. In the present embodiment, the event information is one or more of getting up, getting out of bed, falling, falling, and nurse call (NC). One or more of the falls are accommodated in the first event notification communication signal as the event information. 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.

The nurse call processing unit 143 notifies the management server device SV of a first event notification communication signal accommodated as another example of the predetermined event when the nurse call reception operation unit 13 receives a nurse call. A voice call is performed with the terminal devices SP and TA by using the SU sound input / output unit 12 or the like. More specifically, when the nurse call reception operation unit 13 is input and operated, the nurse call processing unit 143 transmits the first event notification communication signal containing the nurse call as the sensor ID of the own device and the event information as the SU communication. The data is transmitted to the management server device SV via the IF unit 15. The nurse call processing unit 143 uses the SU sound input / output unit 12 and the like to perform a voice call with the terminal devices SP and TA by, for example, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol).

When there is a video distribution request from the fixed terminal device SP or the portable terminal device TA via the communication IF unit 3, the SU streaming processing unit 144 sends the request to the fixed terminal device SP or the portable terminal device TA that has made the request. The moving image generated by the imaging unit 11 (for example, a live moving image) is distributed via the SU communication IF unit 15 by streaming reproduction.

Or the like) to the client, and manages the monitored person monitoring system MS as a whole. In the present embodiment, the management server device SV stores the monitoring function operation status information in association with the sensor device SU in association with the stop of the monitoring function and the cancellation of the stop, and sends the predetermined information to the terminal devices SP and TA. When performing event notification, based on the monitoring function operation status information associated with the sensor device SU of the notification source (the transmission source of the first event notification communication signal), the terminal device SP, TA to the terminal device SP, TA Controls notification of certain events. That is, when the monitoring function operation status information is a monitoring function stop, the notification of the predetermined event is stopped, and the monitoring function operation status information is release of the monitoring function stop (monitoring function is activated). In such a case, notification of the predetermined event is executed. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the management server device SV includes a server-side communication interface unit (SV communication IF unit) 21, a server-side control processing unit (SV control processing unit) 22, and a server-side storage unit. (SV storage unit) 23.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the TA input unit 35 corresponds to an example of a stop input unit that receives the stop of the monitoring function, and the “temporary OFF” button 527 corresponds to an example of a second button.

The nurse call reception screen 53 is a screen for displaying reception of a nurse call. As shown in FIG. 15, for example, the nurse call reception screen 53 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, “ A nurse call reception notification display area 531 for displaying "Nurse call"), a "corresponding" button 524, a "speak" button 525, and a "temporary OFF" button 527. 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 event notification communication signal received in step S31 (or the reception time of reception of the nurse call). .

Note that the nurse call reception screen 53 may further include a “view LIVE” button 526.

Then, after the process S34, the portable terminal device TA determines whether or not an input operation is accepted by the TA control processing unit 32 using a touch panel including the TA input unit 35 and the TA display unit 36 (S35). If the input operation is not accepted as a result of this determination (No), the portable terminal device TA returns the process to step S35. On the other hand, if the input operation is accepted as a result of the determination, the portable terminal device TA returns The apparatus TA performs the following process S36.

In this process S36, 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 receives an input operation of the “corresponding” button 524 from the TA input unit 35 constituting the touch panel by the TA input operation processing unit 3223 of the TA monitoring processing unit 322 in the TA control processing unit 32. (That is, when the intention to respond is accepted), first, in FIG. 12, the monitoring information of the monitored person Ob currently displayed on the TA display unit 36 is attached with a notice indicating that “corresponding” has been accepted. The information is stored in the monitoring information storage unit 331 (S41). More specifically, the TA input operation processing unit 3223 is currently displayed on the TA display unit 36 in the TA monitoring information table MT-TA stored in the TA monitoring information storage unit 331 by the TA monitoring information storage processing unit 3221. In the corresponding field 3316 of the record in which the monitoring information of the monitored person Ob being displayed is registered (here, the record in which the monitoring information contained in the second event notification communication signal received in the process S31 is registered) is registered. A corresponding flag “1” representing a corresponding reception is registered.

Next, the TA input operation processing unit 3223 has received the sensor ID and “corresponding” corresponding to the monitoring information of the monitored person Ob displayed on the TA display unit 36 by the TA monitoring information storage processing unit 3221. Is transmitted to the management server device SV (S42). The management server device SV that has received this correspondence reception notification communication signal uses the SV control processing unit 22 to transmit a communication signal containing the sensor ID and the correspondence reception information contained in the received correspondence reception notification communication signal (corresponding reception well-known communication). 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.

Next, the TA input operation processing unit 3223 executes a release time setting process for setting a release time until the monitoring function is automatically stopped (S43). More specifically, the TA display processing unit 3222 displays a release time setting screen for accepting a set value of the release time on the TA display unit 36. More specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 16, the TA display processing unit 3222 overlays a cancellation time setting screen 551 for accepting a setting value of the cancellation time on the screen being displayed on the TA display unit 36 and displays the TA. It is displayed on the display unit 36. This release time setting screen 551 counts up the release time set value display area 5511 for displaying the set value of the release time and the release time set value displayed in the release time set value display area 5511 by one second. And a countdown button 5513 (▼) for counting down the set value of the release time displayed in the release time set value display area 5511 one by one. When the release time setting screen 551 is opened (displayed), it is registered in the release time information field 3333 of the record for registering the sensor ID corresponding to the monitoring information of the monitored person Ob displayed on the TA display unit 36. The released release time is displayed in a release time set value display area 5511. On this cancellation time setting screen 551, the setting value of the cancellation time displayed in the cancellation time setting value display area 5511 is changed by the input operation of the count up button 5512 and the input operation of the count down button 5513 by a user such as a monitor. When the release time setting screen 551 is “tapped” by a user such as a monitor, the set value of the release time displayed in the release time setting value display area 5511 is confirmed and input to the mobile terminal device TA. Is done. When no input operation is accepted, the release time setting screen 551 is automatically closed (the display is terminated) after a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds or 5 seconds), and the release time setting value is set. The reception is terminated. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the TA input unit 35 corresponds to an example of a cancellation time input unit that receives a setting value of the cancellation time. Then, the TA input unit 35 transmits the set value of the release time to the monitored person monitoring apparatus that has transmitted the event notification communication signal containing the event information representing the content of the event on the event screen displayed on the TA display unit 36. (In this embodiment, it is accepted as a set value of the release time for the sensor device SU that has transmitted the first event notification communication signal).

Next, the TA input operation processing unit 3223 uses the TA monitoring function operation status information storage processing unit 3224 to associate TA monitoring function operation status information as monitoring function operation status information in association with the sensor device SU. A first monitoring function operation status information notification communication signal for storing in the function operation status information storage unit 333 (S44) and for notifying this monitoring function operation status information to other terminal devices SP and TA via the management server device SV. Is transmitted to the management server device SV (S45). More specifically, the TA monitoring function operation status information storage processing unit 223 displays on the TA display unit 36 from the TA monitoring function operation status information table FT-TA stored in the TA monitoring function operation status information storage unit 333. Search the record registered in the sensor ID field 3331 for the sensor ID of the sensor device SU of the monitoring information (monitoring information that has received an input operation of the “corresponding” button 524), and the monitoring function of this searched record A monitoring function operation status flag “1” indicating stoppage of the monitoring function is registered in the operation status information field 3332, and the registered content of the monitoring function operation status information field 3332 is updated. Here, when an input operation of the set value of the release time is received from the TA input unit 35 in the process S43, the TA monitoring function operation status information storage processing unit 3224 displays the release time information field 3333 of the searched record. Then, the set value of the accepted release time is registered, and the registration content of the release time information field 3333 is updated. Then, the TA input operation processing unit 3223 notifies the first monitoring function operation status information containing the sensor ID and monitoring function operation status information (for example, the monitoring function operation status flag “1”) indicating the stop of the monitoring function. A communication signal is transmitted to the management server device SV. In addition, when the set value of the received release time is received, the set value of the received release time is also accommodated in the first monitoring function operation status information notification communication signal. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the TA input operation processing unit 3223 corresponds to an example of a stop processing unit that stops the monitoring function for monitoring the monitored person when the input operation is received by the corresponding input unit. Further, the TA monitoring function operation status information storage processing unit 223 notifies the TA release processing unit 3225 of the stop of the monitoring function in the sensor device SU of this sensor ID.

Upon receiving notification of the stop of the monitoring function in the sensor device SU of the sensor ID from the TA monitoring function operation status information storage processing unit 223, the TA release processing unit 3225 is stored in the TA monitoring function operation status information storage unit 333. After the set value release time elapses, a monitoring function stop cancellation process for canceling the monitoring function stop is executed (S46). More specifically, the TA release processing unit 3225 functionally provides a timer associated with the sensor ID in the TA control processing unit 32, and stores the TA monitoring function stored in the TA monitoring function operation status information storage unit 333. A record in which the sensor ID is registered in the sensor ID field 3331 is searched from the operation status information table FT-TA, and the timer counts with the set value of the release time registered in the release time information field 3333 of the searched record. To start. When the timer expires at the set value of the release time, the TA release processing unit 3225 stores TA monitoring function operation status information for releasing the stop of the monitoring function in the sensor device US of the sensor ID associated with the timer that has timed up. The processing unit 223 is notified. Upon receiving a notification of cancellation of the stop of the monitoring function in the sensor device US of this sensor ID from the TA release processing unit 3225, the TA monitoring function operation status information storage processing unit 223 stores the TA monitoring function operation status information storage unit 333. A record for registering the sensor ID in the sensor ID field 3331 is searched from the TA monitoring function operation status information table FT-TA that has been registered, and a monitoring function operation status flag is displayed in the monitoring function operation status information field 3332 of the searched record. Register “0” and cancel the stop of the monitoring function. Then, the TA monitoring function operation status information storage processing unit 3224 stores the sensor ID and monitoring function operation status information (for example, monitoring function operation status flag “0”, etc.) indicating release of the monitoring function stop. A monitoring function operation status information notification communication signal is transmitted to the management server device SV.

When the input operation of the “corresponding” button 524 is accepted, the portable terminal device TA operates in this way.

Further, for example, when the mobile terminal device TA receives an input operation of the “speak” button 525 by the TA input operation processing unit 3223, the 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 SU, and the corresponding sensor device SU is connected to the sensor device SU via the network NW so as to be able to make a voice call. As a result, a voice call can be made between the mobile terminal device TA and the sensor device SU. When the mobile terminal device TA receives an input operation of an “end” button (not shown) that is a button for inputting a voice call end instruction by the TA input operation processing unit 3223, the call processing unit 323 causes the call processing unit 323 to A communication signal (call end communication signal) containing information such as a request to end the voice call is transmitted to the sensor device SU that monitors the monitored person Ob displayed on the TA display unit 36. Thereby, the voice call between the mobile terminal device TA and the sensor device SU is terminated.

Further, for example, when the mobile terminal device TA receives an input operation of the “watch live” button 526 by the TA input operation processing unit 3223, the TA streaming processing unit 324 displays the target 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 SU that monitors the observer Ob, and the sensor device SU and the network NW corresponding to this are transmitted. Is connected so that a moving image can be downloaded, and a live moving image is received from the sensor device SU, and the received moving image is displayed on the TA display unit 36 by streaming reproduction. 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 picked up by the sensor device SU of the sensor ID and ends (stops) the display. This is a button for inputting an instruction to be performed. When the TA input operation processing unit 3223 accepts 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.

Further, for example, when the TA input operation processing unit 3223 accepts an input operation of the “temporary OFF” button 527, the portable terminal device TA executes each process similar to the processes S43 to S46 described above with reference to FIG. . As a result, the monitoring function is temporarily turned off for the set value of the release time.

Regarding the second event notification communication signal and the second monitoring function operation status information communication signal received from the management server device SV, the mobile terminal device TA operates as described above.

The input operation of the “corresponding” button 524 has a high probability that the monitor will go under the monitored person Ob. As described above, the monitored person monitoring system MS, the terminal devices SP, TA, and the control methods implemented by them according to the present embodiment receive the input operation of the “corresponding” button 524, and the first operation related thereto. When the management server device SV stops the transmission of the two-event notification communication signal, the monitoring function for monitoring the monitored person Ob is stopped. Therefore, when the supervisor goes under the monitored person Ob, the monitored person monitoring system MS, the terminal device SP, TA, and the control method are separated from the input operation of the “corresponding” button 524. The monitoring function can be automatically stopped without performing an input operation for stopping the monitoring function, and false alarms due to monitoring by the monitor that can occur due to the operation of the monitoring function can be reduced. In some cases, speed may be required depending on the state of the monitored person Ob, and in such a case, there is a desire to reduce the number of input operations. According to the above, such a request can be met. As described above, the monitored person monitoring system MS, the terminal devices SP and TA, and the control method can appropriately switch the operation and non-operation of the monitoring function.

Since the monitored person monitoring system MS, the terminal device SP, TA, and the control method include the TA release processing unit 3225, the stopped monitoring function is automatically detected without performing an input operation for releasing the stop of the monitoring function. The operation can be canceled and the operation and non-operation of the monitoring function can be switched more appropriately.

The nurse call system disclosed in Patent Document 1 uniformly cancels the non-operation of the notification unit in response to the handset calling signal after a predetermined time has elapsed. Cannot be released. However, since the monitored person monitoring system MS, the terminal devices SP, TA and the control method can set the release time on the release time setting screen 551, the release time until the monitoring function is automatically released is desired. It is possible to set the operation time and the non-operation for the monitoring function more appropriately. In particular, even in the same job, the time required to complete the job may vary depending on the personality and state of the monitored person Ob, and the monitored person monitoring system MS, the terminal devices SP, TA, and the control method are different from the monitored person. Appropriate release time can be set according to the individuality and state of the.

Since the monitored person monitoring system MS, the terminal device SP, TA, and the control method include the “temporary OFF” button 527, the monitoring function can be stopped at a timing desired by the observer. In particular, depending on the contents of the nurse call, there is a case where it is not necessary for the monitor to go under the monitored person, and the monitored person monitoring system MS, the terminal device SP, TA and the control method are appropriately used in such a case. I can deal with it. Also, the monitoring function is stopped by an input operation of the “temporary OFF” button 527, and the moving image can be viewed live while suppressing the follow-up information by the monitoring function.

In the above-described embodiment, the terminal devices SP and TA stop the monitoring function by causing the management server device SV to stop transmitting the second event notification communication signal. The monitoring function may be stopped by causing the sensor device SU to stop transmitting the first event notification communication signal via the device SV. In this case, for example, when the management server device SV receives the first monitoring function operation status notification communication signal from the terminal devices SP and TA, the monitoring contained in the received first monitoring function operation status notification communication signal. When the functional operation status information is a monitoring function stop, the behavior detection processing unit 142 performs behavior detection processing on the sensor device SU having the sensor ID accommodated in the received first monitoring function operational status notification communication signal. A communication signal instructing (instructing) the stop and reception of the nurse call is transmitted to the sensor device SU, and the monitoring function operation status information contained in the received first monitoring function operation status notification communication signal is the monitoring function. In the case of the cancellation of the stop, the behavior detection processing unit 1 is connected to the sensor device SU having the sensor ID accommodated in the received first monitoring function operation status notification communication signal. Lift the suspension of 2 by behavior detection processing and instructing cancellation of the access suspension Nurse call (commands) for transmitting a communication signal to the sensor device SU. For example, when the management server device SV receives the first monitoring function operation status notification communication signal from the terminal devices SP and TA, the monitoring function operation status accommodated in the received first monitoring function operation status notification communication signal. When the information is a monitoring function stop, the sensor device SU having the sensor ID accommodated in the received first monitoring function operation status notification communication signal is instructed to stop the transmission of the first event notification communication signal. When the communication function (command) is transmitted to the sensor device SU and the monitoring function operation status information accommodated in the received first monitoring function operation status notification communication signal is cancellation of the stop of the monitoring function, The sensor device SU having the sensor ID accommodated in the received first monitoring function operation status notification communication signal is instructed to cancel the stop of transmission of the first event notification communication signal (command) ) Transmits a communication signal to the sensor device SU.

In the above-described embodiment, the terminal devices SP and TA stop the monitoring function by causing the management server device SV to stop transmitting the second event notification communication signal, but the terminal devices SP and TA Even if an event notification communication signal is received, an event screen (in the above-described monitoring information screen 52 or nurse call reception screen 53) for displaying the contents of the event represented by the event information accommodated in the second event notification communication signal. ) May not be displayed on the TA display unit 36 to stop the monitoring function.

In the above-described embodiment, the terminal devices SP and TA may be configured to display the operation status of the monitoring function on the TA display unit 36. FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of a monitoring function operation status screen displayed on the mobile terminal device. In the example shown in FIG. 17, the monitoring function operation status screen 54 not only displays the operation status of the monitoring function for each sensor device SU (sensor ID), but also indicates whether the monitoring function is stopped or released. It can be set for each device SU (sensor ID).

More specifically, in the standby screen 51 shown in FIG. 13, the monitoring information screen 52 shown in FIG. 14, the nurse call reception screen 53 shown in FIG. 15, and the like, the setting menu button in the menu bar displayed in the menu bar area 511 When 5111 is input, the TA input operation processing unit 3223 causes the TA display processing unit 3222 to perform a plurality of monitored functions based on the monitoring function operation status information stored in the TA monitoring function operation status information storage unit 333. A monitoring function operation status screen 51 for displaying the monitoring function operation status in the person monitoring device (sensor device SU in this embodiment) is displayed on the TA display unit 36. In FIG. 17, the monitoring function operation status screen 54 displays a monitoring function stop display area 541 for displaying stop device information indicating the sensor device SU that has stopped the monitoring function, and cancels the stop of the monitoring function. And the TA display processing unit 3222 displays the monitoring function in the monitoring function stop display area 541 of the monitoring function operation status screen 54. Stop device information representing the stopped sensor device SU is displayed, and in the monitor function operation display area 542 of the monitor function operation status screen 54, release device information representing the sensor device SU that has released the stop of the monitor function Is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 17, when the TA display unit 36 is viewed from the front, a monitoring function stop display area 541 is displayed on the TA display unit 36 relatively on the upper side, and the monitoring function is displayed on the lower side. An operation display area 542 is displayed.

In the monitoring function stop display area 541, two pieces of stop device information 541-1 and 541-2 are displayed. The stop device information 541-1 and 541-2 are respectively the stop of the monitoring function and the stop thereof. Operation status information 543 representing another release of the device, device information 544 representing the sensor device SU corresponding to the stop device information, and stop time information 545 representing an elapsed time from the start of the stop. In the monitoring function operation display area 542, three pieces of release device information 542-1 to 542-3 are displayed. These release device information 542-1 to 542-3 are respectively the operation status information 543, And device information 544. In the example shown in FIG. 17, the operation status information 543 is displayed as an icon symbolically indicating whether the monitoring function is stopped or released. The stop of the monitoring function is represented by a circle icon including a bar “-”, and the release of the suspension of the monitoring function is represented by an outline icon on the upper body. The device information 544 may be represented by the sensor ID of the sensor device SU. Here, the device information 544 is extracted from the TA sensor information storage unit 332 using the sensor ID as a search key, and is disposed in the sensor device SU having the sensor ID. And the name of the person being monitored.

In the example shown in FIG. 17, the stop device information 541-1 and 541-2 respectively release the suspension of the monitoring function to the sensor device SU of the stop device information 541-1 and 541-2. It is a button to input to. When the stop device information as this button is input, the monitoring function operation status information related to the stop device information is updated and stored (stop → release), and the monitoring function operation status information notification communication signal (release) corresponding to this ) Is transmitted, and the stop device information is changed to release device information. Each of the release device information 542-1 to 542-3 is a button for inputting to the mobile terminal device TA stop of the monitoring function for the sensor device SU of the release device information 542-1 to 542-3. Yes. When the release device information as this button is input, the monitoring function operation status information related to the release device information is updated and stored (release → stop), and the monitoring function operation status information notification communication signal (release) ) Is transmitted, and the release device information is changed to stop device information. As described above, the cancellation time setting screen 551 may be displayed and the cancellation time may be set.

Since such a monitored person monitoring system MS, terminal device SP, TA and control method can display the monitoring function operation status screen 54, the operation status of the monitoring function can be visually observed for each sensor device SU. The monitored person monitoring system MS, the terminal device SP, TA, and the control method include the sensor device SU that stops the monitoring function and the sensor device SU that releases the stop of the monitoring function (that is, the Since the sensor device SU) that is operating the monitoring function is displayed on the monitoring function operation status screen 54 separately in the monitoring function stop display area 541 and the monitoring function operation display area 542, the monitoring function is stopped. It can be easily distinguished from the sensor device SU and the sensor device SU that has released the stop of the monitoring function.

Preferably, in the monitoring function operation status screen 54 described above, the TA display processing unit 3222 displays the stop device information in the monitoring function stop display area 541 of the monitoring function operation status screen 54 at the time when the monitoring function is stopped. The information is displayed in sequence order or in order of the length of time during which the monitoring function is stopped. In the example shown in FIG. 17, the two stop device information 541-1 and 541-2 are time series of the time when the monitoring function is stopped by referring to the timer provided by the TA release processing unit 3225. They are displayed in the monitoring function stop display area 541 in order. Note that, by default, when the display is performed in a predetermined order, for example, in the order of room number or the name of the person to be monitored, and the display in the order of time series or time length is requested, the stop device as described above Information may be sorted. In such a monitored person monitoring system MS, terminal devices SP, TA, and a control method, the monitoring function stop display area 541 displays the sensor device SU that has stopped the monitoring function, and the time series when the monitoring function is stopped. Since the display is performed in order or in the order of the length of time during which the monitoring function is stopped, the sensor device SU in which the monitoring function is stopped can be visually observed in the order in which the monitoring function is stopped. In particular, when the monitor performs the input operation of the TA input unit 35 without inadvertently confirming the sensor device SU that has transmitted the first event notification communication signal, the monitor performs the monitoring function operation status screen 54. Since the sensor device SU that has stopped the monitoring function can be confirmed most recently, the sensor device SU that has not been inadvertently confirmed can be followed (retrofitted).

This specification discloses various modes of technology as described above, and the main technologies are summarized below.

The

It is highly probable that an input indicating that the observer is willing to carry out the predetermined response will go under the person being monitored. The said terminal device will stop the said monitoring function, if input operation is received in a corresponding | compatible input part. Therefore, when the supervisor goes under the person to be monitored, the terminal device may stop the monitoring function separately from an input operation indicating that the supervisor is willing to perform the predetermined response. Even if no input operation is performed, the monitoring function can be automatically stopped, and false alarms caused by monitoring by a supervisor, which may occur due to the operation of the monitoring function, can be reduced.

However, since the terminal device further includes the release time input unit, the release time until the suspension of the monitoring function is automatically released can be set to a desired time, and the operation and non-operation of the monitoring function are more appropriately performed. Can be switched to. In particular, even in the same job, the time required to complete the job may vary depending on the personality and state of the monitored person, and the terminal device may have an appropriate release time depending on the personality and status of the monitored person. Can be set.

In another aspect, the terminal device described above further includes a stop input unit that receives the stop of the monitoring function, and the stop processing unit further receives the stop of the monitoring function by the stop input unit, Stop the monitoring function that monitors the monitored person.
