Description

Monitored person monitoring support system and monitored person monitoring support method

The present invention relates to a monitored person monitoring support system and a monitored person monitoring support method for supporting monitoring of a monitored person.

BACKGROUND ART In recent years, with the rush of the super-aging society, research and development of techniques for complementing operations in the nursing industry, the nursing care industry and the like have been advanced. As one of such techniques, it is monitored whether or not a predetermined event (for example, a fall) has occurred in a person to be monitored (for example, a cared person living in a care facility), and a predetermined event occurs. In the case where there is a problem, there is a monitored person monitoring support technology for notifying a monitoring person (for example, a carer). When notified, the observer rushes to the person to be monitored and responds to the event that has occurred. According to this surveillance person monitoring support technology, the surveillance person does not have to always watch the surveillance person, so the burden on the surveillance person can be alleviated and the shortage of labor of the surveillance person can be dealt with.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses the following surveillance target monitoring technology. When a predetermined event occurs in the monitored person, the management server device notifies the mobile terminal devices carried by a plurality of supervisors to that effect, and the mobile terminal devices indicate that the predetermined event has occurred. Display When one of the observers operates his / her portable terminal device and makes a predetermined input indicating the intention to rush, the portable terminal device notifies that to the management server device, and the management server device monitors the remaining The processing for ending the display that a predetermined event has occurred is performed on the portable terminal device of the person. As a result, the remaining observers can know that any one of the observers responds to the event, thereby preventing duplicate rushing.

According to the surveillance person monitoring support technology as disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the surveillance person is notified that a predetermined event has occurred, it is necessary to rush to the surveillance person or not And, even if it is necessary to rush, the notified watcher must judge whether it is necessary to rush immediately. This determination differs depending on the type of event (for example, in the case of a fall, it is necessary to rush immediately), the nature of the person being monitored, the degree of care of the person being monitored, etc.

If this judgment is left to the observer, the following observer will occur. Even if it is a notification that does not require rushing as quickly as possible, there are guards who rush. Even if there is a notification that requires rushing, if the monitored person who has trouble dealing with it is left to other observers, there are those who do not rush. Even though there is no enthusiasm for work and there are notifications that need to be rushed, there are watchers who can not rush quickly.

When these observers occur, the observers cause a difference in the amount of work, and the work is concentrated on some of the observers. As a result, some observers may be dissatisfied and may leave the office. A manager of a facility (for example, a care facility) that receives a monitored person needs to understand the work of each of the monitored persons so that the work is not concentrated on some of the monitored persons.

In the case of the technology of Patent Document 1, even if the monitor operates the mobile terminal device and inputs an intention to rush, it is not known whether the monitor actually rushed to the person to be monitored. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately grasp the working conditions of the monitor. In addition, even when the observer who has made an input indicating the intention to rush does not rush to the person to be monitored, the other observers are notified of "already completed". For this reason, there is a possibility that the person to be monitored may be left as it is in a state requiring a response.

The SU communication IF unit 11 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 10 can process the extracted data. The data is converted into data of the following format and output to the SU control processing unit 10. The SU communication IF unit 11 includes, for example, a communication interface circuit conforming to the IEEE 802.11 standard or the like.

The imaging unit 12 is an apparatus for imaging an imaging target and generating an image of the imaging target. Images include still images and moving images. The imaging unit 12 is arranged to be able to monitor the space where the monitored person Ob is planning to be located (location space; room RM in the arrangement location in the example shown in FIG. 1). An image is captured and an image in which the image capturing target is overlooked is generated. Preferably, the imaging unit 12 is scheduled to locate the head of the subject Ob in the bedding (for example, a bed or the like) on which the subject Ob is lying, because the probability that the whole subject Ob can be imaged is high. It arrange | positions so that an imaging target can be imaged from the just overhead of the head preset position (usually the arrangement | positioning position of a pillow) which is preset. The sensor unit SU uses the imaging unit 12 to obtain an image of the person to be monitored Ob, which is taken from above the person to be monitored Ob, preferably an image of the person to be monitored Ob, which is taken from directly above the planned head position.

Such an imaging unit 12 may be a device (visible camera) that generates an image of visible light, but in the embodiment, an infrared image is generated so that the person to be monitored Ob can be monitored even with relatively darkness. It is an apparatus. Such an imaging unit 12 is disposed, for example, in the embodiment, an imaging optical system for forming an infrared optical image of an imaging target on a predetermined imaging surface, and a light receiving surface is made to coincide with the imaging surface An image sensor that converts an infrared optical image of the imaging target into an electrical signal; and image data processing of an output of the image sensor by image processing representing an infrared image of the imaging target It is a digital infrared camera including an image processing unit and the like to be generated. In the embodiment, the imaging optical system of the imaging unit 12 is preferably a wide-angle optical system (a so-called wide-angle lens (including a fisheye lens)) having an angle of view capable of imaging the entire room RM provided.

The storage unit 13 stores a moving image or the like in the living room RM captured by the imaging unit 12. The storage unit 13 is realized by, for example, an HDD, a flash memory, or the like.

The detection unit 14 detects whether or not a predetermined event has occurred in the monitored person Ob. More specifically, the predetermined event includes, for example, a wakeup of the monitored person Ob, a leaving of the monitored person Ob from the bed, a falling of the monitored person Ob from the bed, and a monitored person Ob Is four events of falling. Then, the detection unit 14 detects the head of the monitored person Ob based on, for example, the image captured by the imaging unit 12, and the detected object is monitored based on the time change of the size of the detected head of the monitored person Ob. Detects wake up, leaving, falling and falling of the observer Ob.

More specifically, the bed area of the living room RM, a first threshold Th1 for identifying the head size of the lying posture and the head size of the sitting position in the bed area, excluding the bed area The second threshold value Th2 for identifying whether or not the size of the head in the standing posture in the living room RM is, and the size of the head in the lying posture in the living room RM excluding the area where the bed is located A third threshold Th3 for identifying whether or not it is stored in the detection unit 14 in advance. Then, the detection unit 14 extracts a moving body area from the image captured by the imaging unit 12 as the area of the person of the person to be monitored Ob by, for example, a background subtraction method or a frame subtraction method. The head region of the person to be monitored Ob is extracted and extracted by Hough transform of the shape, by pattern matching using, for example, a prepared head model, or by, for example, a neural network learned for head detection. Detecting getting up, leaving, falling and falling from the position and size of the head.

For example, in the detection unit 14, the position of the extracted head is in the area where the bed is, and the size of the extracted head uses the first threshold value Th1 to determine the sitting posture from the size of the lying posture. When the time has changed to the size, it is determined that the user has got up and the rising is detected. For example, in the case where the position of the extracted head changes in time from the inside area of the bed to outside the area of the bed, the detection unit 14 detects the size of the extracted head as the second threshold Th2. When the time is changed from a certain size to the size of the standing posture by using, it is determined that the bed has left, and the bed is detected. For example, in the case where the position of the extracted head changes in time from the inside of the bed area to the outside of the bed area, the size of the extracted head is the third threshold value Th3. When the time change from a certain size to the size of the lying posture by using, it is determined to be falling and the falling is detected. For example, in the detection unit 14, the position of the extracted head is in the living room RM excluding the area where the bed is located, and the size of the extracted head is a certain size by using the third threshold value Th3. When the time changes from the position to the size of the lying posture, it is determined that a fall has occurred, and the fall is detected. The lying posture is not limited to the lying posture but includes the supposing posture and the prone posture.

The SU control processing unit 10 has a function of a sensor notification unit (SU notification unit) 15. The SU notification unit 15 sends various notifications to the management server SV. For example, when the detection unit 14 detects that a predetermined event has occurred in the monitored person Ob, the SU notification unit 15 causes the SU communication IF unit 11 to notify the event occurrence on the management server SV as a destination. . This notification includes the type of event that has occurred and the room number of the room RM in which the event has occurred.

Generate That is, the linking information generation unit 46 generates linking information in which the other specific information stored in advance and the one specific information read by the reading unit 45 are linked. In the embodiment, the other identification information is first identification information, and one identification information is second identification information. In the recording unit 32 shown in FIG. 3, when the binding information is notified, the supervisor NS indicated by the supervisor ID included in the binding information is currently in the room RM where the room number is included in the binding information. It is considered that the user has entered the room, and recording on the entry record table 321 is executed.

The operation of the person-to-be-monitored monitoring support system MS according to the embodiment will be described using the person to be monitored Ob-1 as an example. FIG. 8 is an explanatory view for explaining this operation. FIG. 9 is the first half of the flowchart explaining this operation. FIG. 10 is the second half of the flowchart explaining this operation.

As described in FIG. 1, the person to be monitored Ob-1 is monitored using the sensor device SU-1. Hereinafter, each component of the sensor device SU means each component of the sensor device SU-1. Referring to FIGS. 2, 8 and 9, detection unit 14 determines whether or not it has been detected that a predetermined event has occurred in monitored person Ob-1 (step S100). The detection unit 14 repeats the process of step S100 when not detecting that a predetermined event has occurred in the monitored person Ob-1 (No in step S100).

When the detection unit 14 detects that a predetermined event has occurred in the monitored person Ob-1 (Yes in step S100), the SU notification unit 15 sends the management server SV to the SU communication IF unit 11 as a destination. , And notify of event occurrence (step S101, (1) in FIG. 8). This notification includes the type of event that occurred and the room number where this event has occurred.

Referring to FIGS. 3, 8 and 9, SV control processing unit 30 determines whether SV communication IF unit 31 receives a notification of event occurrence from sensor device SU-1 (step S200). When determining that the SV communication IF unit 31 has not received the notification of the event occurrence from the sensor device SU-1 (No in step S200), the SV control processing unit 30 repeats the process of step S200.

When the SV control processing unit 30 determines that the SV communication IF unit 31 receives a notification of occurrence of an event from the sensor device SU-1 (Yes in step S200), the SV notification unit 33 selects one of the portable terminal devices TA-1 and TA. The SV communication IF unit 31 is notified of an event occurrence with the address “-2” (step S201, (2) in FIG. 8). As described above, the monitored person monitoring support device configured by the sensor device SU and the management server device SV sends a predetermined notification to the plurality of mobile terminal devices TA when a predetermined event occurs in the monitored person Ob. .

The recording unit 32 records information related to the event notified from the sensor device SU-1 in the event recording table 322 based on the notification (step S200) from the sensor device SU-1 (step S202, FIG. 8). (3)). An event that occurs in the monitored person Ob-1 will be described in detail, taking fall as an example. 11A to 11C are explanatory diagrams for specifically explaining the transition of the information recorded in the event recording table 322-1. Columns 3221 to 3227 shown in FIGS. 11A to 11C are the same as the columns 3221 to 3227 shown in FIG. The notification (step S200) from the management server SV includes the type of event (“falling”) and the room number (“1”). The time (event notification time) at which the occurrence of an event is notified from the sensor unit SU-1 to the management server SV (event notification time) is 6:05:10. The recording unit 32 sets “06:05:10” in the event notification time column 3221 in the portion where information on the latest event is recorded (in the embodiment, the top line of the event recording table 322-1). Record, “fall over” is recorded in the event type column 3222, and “1” is recorded in the room number column 3223 (FIG. 11A). Since there is no supervisor NS who rushed to the room RM-1 to this room and the supervisor NS who indicated the handling intention by operating the portable terminal apparatus TA, the recording unit 32 displays these

fields

3225, 3227. Record "NULL" in.

Referring to FIGS. 6, 8 and 9, in the portable terminal devices TA-1 and TA-2, the TA control processing unit 40 receives a notification of occurrence of an event from the TA communication IF unit 41 from the management server device SV. It is determined whether or not it is (step S300). In the mobile terminal devices TA-1 and TA-2, when the TA control processing unit 40 determines that the TA communication IF unit 41 has not received a notification of event occurrence from the management server device SV (No in step S300), The process of S300 is repeated.

In the portable terminal devices TA-1 and TA-2, when the TA control processing unit 40 determines that the TA communication IF unit 41 receives a notification of event occurrence from the management server device SV (Yes in step S300), the TA output unit The event occurrence is displayed on the touch panel TP functioning as 43 (step S301, (4) in FIG. 8). Specifically, as in the images shown in the touch panel TP in (b1) and (b2) of FIG. 7, the predetermined image including the still image in the living room RM, the room number, the name of the monitored person Ob, etc. Displayed on TP.

In the portable terminal devices TA-1 and TA-2, the TA control processing unit 40 determines whether the intention (correspondence intention) corresponding to the notification of the event occurrence is input (step S302). When the TA control processing unit 40 determines that the response intention is not input (No in step S302), the processing of step S302 is repeated.

It is assumed that the corresponding intention is input to one of the portable terminal devices TA-1 and TA-2. Description will be made by taking as an example a case where a response intention is input to the portable terminal device TA-1. In the portable terminal device TA-1, the TA control processing unit 40 causes the supervisor NS-1 to operate the touch panel TP (FIG. 7) functioning as the TA input unit 42 to input the corresponding intention (“corresponding” button When it is determined that the user has pressed the button (Yes in step S302, (5) in FIG. 8), the display of the event occurrence displayed on the touch panel TP is erased (step S303, (6) in FIG. 8). Show that no event has occurred. Specifically, the TA control processing unit 40 erases the image indicating the occurrence of an event displayed on the touch panel TP as the image shown on the touch panel TP of (b1) of FIG. 7, and the touch panel TP of (c1) of FIG. As in the image shown in, an image showing that an event has not occurred is displayed on the touch panel TP.

Then, in the mobile terminal device TA-1, the TA notification unit 44 notifies the TA communication IF unit 41 of the handling intention with the management server device SV as a destination (step S304, (7) in FIG. 8). This notification includes the ID of the observer NS who has indicated the response intention, and the type of event for which the response intention is indicated. Here, the ID of the monitor NS is the ID of the monitor NS-1, and the type of the event is "fall".

Referring to FIGS. 3, 8 and 9, SV control processing unit 30 determines whether SV communication IF unit 31 receives a notification of correspondence intention from TA notification unit 44 (step S203). When the SV control IF unit 31 determines that the SV communication IF unit 31 has not received a notification of correspondence intention from the TA notification unit 44 (No in step S203), the SV control processing unit 30 repeats the process in step S203.

When the SV control processing unit 30 determines that the SV communication IF unit 31 receives a notification of correspondence intention from the TA notification unit 44 (Yes in step S203), the SV notification unit 33 sets the portable terminal device TA-2 as a destination. The SV communication IF unit 31 is notified that there is a supervisor who has indicated the response intention (step S204, (8) in FIG. 8). This notification is a second predetermined notification indicating that there is a supervisor NS having a will corresponding to the predetermined notification among the plurality of supervisors NS.

Thereby, in the portable terminal device TA-2, the TA control processing unit 40 erases the display of the event occurrence displayed on the touch panel TP ((9) in FIG. 8), and causes the touch panel TP to display no event occurrence. Specifically, the TA control processing unit 40 erases the image indicating the occurrence of an event displayed on the touch panel TP as the image shown on the touch panel TP of (b2) of FIG. 7, and the touch panel TP of (c2) of FIG. As in the image shown in, an image showing that an event has not occurred is displayed on the touch panel TP. As a result, since the monitor NS-2 (the remaining monitor NS other than the first monitor) can know that it is not necessary to rush to the living room RM-1 in which the monitor Ob-1 is present, the monitor It can reduce the burden of NS-2.

In step S203, the recording unit 32 records the supervisor NS-1 indicating the response intention in the event recording table 322 (step S205, (10) in FIG. 8). Explaining in detail, the notification of the correspondence intention transmitted by the mobile terminal device TA-1 to the management server device SV (Yes in step S203, (7) in FIG. 8) is that the supervisor NS-1 presses the "corresponding" button Time, the ID of the administrator NS-1, and the type of event (here, fall). This time is 6:05:12, and this ID is "ID_NS-1." Referring to FIG. 11B, the recording unit 32 displays “06:05: 06:05 in the field 3226 in the portion where the information on the latest event is recorded (in the embodiment, the top row of the event recording table 322-1). Record 12 "and record" ID_NS-1 "in the field 3227. “ID_NS-1” is third identification information. As described above, the recording unit 32 associates the third identification information with the falling of the observer Ob-1 (a predetermined event generated for the first monitored person) and records the third identification information.

It is assumed that the monitor NS-1 rushes to the room RM-1 in order to cope with the fall of the monitored person Ob-1. Referring to FIGS. 6, 8 and 10, in portable terminal device TA-1, reading unit 45 determines whether room number 1 of room RM-1 has been read or not (step S310). Room number 1 is indicated by a barcode 60 in the room RM-1. The reading unit 45 reads the bar code 60 to read the room number 1 of the room RM-1. When the reading unit 45 determines that the room number 1 of the room RM-1 is not read (No in step S310), the process of step S310 is repeated.

When the reading unit 45 determines that the room number 1 of the room RM-1 has been read (Yes in step S310, (11) in FIG. 8), the association information generation unit 46 stores the supervisor NS- stored in advance. The association information in which the ID No. 1 and the room number 1 of the room RM-1 read by the reading unit 45 are linked is generated (step S311, (12) in FIG. 8). The tying information includes the time when the reading unit 45 reads the room number 1.

In the portable terminal device TA-1, the TA notification unit 44 causes the TA communication IF unit 41 to notify the association information with the management server device SV as a destination (step S312, (13) in FIG. 8).

Referring to FIGS. 3, 8 and 10, SV control processing unit 30 determines whether SV communication IF unit 31 has received notification of association information from TA notification unit 44 (step S210). When the SV control processing unit 30 determines that the SV communication IF unit 31 has not received the notification of the association information from the TA notification unit 44 (No in step S210), the SV control processing unit 30 repeats the process of step S210.

When the SV control processing unit 30 determines that the SV communication IF unit 31 receives the notification of the association information from the TA notification unit 44 (Yes in step S210), the recording unit 32 uses the supervisor ID included in the association information. It is regarded that the observer NS-1 indicated by is currently entering the room RM-1 indicated by the room number 1 included in the binding information, and recording on the room entry recording table 321 is performed (step S211, (14) of FIG. Explaining in detail, FIG. 12 is an explanatory view specifically explaining the transition of the recording to the room entry recording table 321-1. The

columns

3211 and 3212 shown in FIG. 12 are the same as the

columns

3211 and 3212 shown in FIG.

Before the binding information is notified to the management server SV, there is no supervisor NS in the room RM-1, so in the entry record table 321-1, the column 3212 for the supervisor ID corresponding to room number 1 is: The supervisor ID is not recorded ((a) in FIG. 12). Since the binding information has been notified to the management server SV (Yes in step S210), the recording unit 32 sets the ID (“ID_NS-1”) of the supervisor NS-1 and the room number 1 included in the binding information. Referring to the entry record table 321-1, "ID_NS-1" is recorded in the column 3212 of the supervisor ID corresponding to the room number 1 ((b) in FIG. 12).

With reference to FIGS. 3, 8 and 10, the recording unit 32 displays the column 3212 of the supervisor ID corresponding to the room number 1 included in the tying information in the room entry recording table 321-1 shown in FIG. It is determined whether the ID of the supervisor NS is recorded (step S212). As shown in (b) of FIG. 12, the ID of the supervisor NS-1 is recorded in the column 3212 of the supervisor ID corresponding to the room number 1 (Yes in step S212). Therefore, the recording unit 32 records the supervisor NS-1 who rushed to the room RM-1 in the event recording table 322 based on the association information (Step S213, (15) in FIG. 8). To explain in detail, referring to FIG. 11C, the recording unit 32 displays “field 3224” in a portion where information on the latest event is recorded (in the embodiment, the top line of the event recording table 322-1). Record “06:05:30”, and record “ID_NS-1” in a field 3225. “06:05:30” is included in the association information, and is the time when the reading unit 45 reads the room number 1.

As described above, in the recording unit 32, the monitored person monitoring support device (the management server device SV and the sensor device SU) sends a predetermined notification ((2) in FIG. 8), and a generation unit (association information generation unit The first specific information (the ID of the rushed-on supervisor NS) is generated in the monitoring area where the first monitored person is present, on condition that the 46) has generated the linking information ((12) in FIG. 8) The event (type of event), the second specific information (room number), and the third specific information (the ID of the monitoring person who indicated the handling intention) are linked and recorded.

Referring to FIGS. 6, 8 and 10, when supervisor NS-1 leaves living room RM-1, room number 1 of living room RM-1 is read by reading unit 45 of portable terminal device TA-1. Is read again. Specifically, the reading unit 45 determines whether the room number 1 of the room RM-1 has been read (step S313). As described above, the room number 1 is indicated by the barcode 60 in the room RM-1. The reading unit 45 reads the bar code 60 to read the room number 1 of the room RM-1. When the reading unit 45 determines that the room number 1 of the room RM-1 is not read (No in step S313), the process of step S313 is repeated.

When the reading unit 45 determines that the room number 1 of the room RM-1 has been read (Yes in step S313, (16) in FIG. 8), the association information generation unit 46 stores the supervisor ID stored in advance ( The association information is generated by associating the ID of the monitor NS-1) with the room number 1 of the room RM-1 read by the reading unit 45 (step S314, (17) in FIG. 8). The tying information includes the time when the reading unit 45 reads the room number 1.

In the portable terminal device TA-1, the TA notification unit 44 causes the TA communication IF unit 41 to notify the association information with the management server device SV as a destination (step S315, (18) in FIG. 8).

When the SV control processing unit 30 determines that the SV communication IF unit 31 receives the notification of the association information from the TA notification unit 44 (Yes in step S210), the recording unit 32 executes recording in the entry record table 321. (Step S211, (19) in FIG. 8). Explaining in detail, referring to FIG. 12, since the supervisor NS-1 is in the room RM-1 before the association information is notified to the management server apparatus SV, the room number in the entry record table 321-1. In the column 3212 of the supervisor ID corresponding to 1, the ID of the supervisor NS-1 is recorded ((b) in FIG. 12). Since the binding information has been notified to the management server SV (Yes in step S210), the recording unit 32 sets the ID (“ID_NS-1”) of the supervisor NS-1 and the room number 1 included in the binding information. Referring to the entry record table 321-1, “NULL” is recorded in the column 3212 of the supervisor ID corresponding to the room number 1 ((c) in FIG. 12).

With reference to FIGS. 3, 8 and 10, recording unit 32 monitors in column 3212 of supervisor ID corresponding to room number 1 included in the tying information in entry record table 321-1 shown in FIG. It is determined whether the ID of the person NS is recorded (step S212). As shown in (c) of FIG. 12, the supervisor ID is not recorded in the column 3212 of the supervisor ID corresponding to the room number 1 (No in step S212). That is, there is no supervisor NS in the room RM-1. Therefore, the recording unit 32 does not execute recording in the event recording table 322-1 (step S214).

The contents recorded in the event recording table 322-1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 5. The observer NS who indicated the corresponding intention for the fall of the monitored person Ob-1 notified at 6:05:10 is the observer NS-1, and the room RM-1 (room RM of room number 1) The observer NS who rushed to) is also the observer NS-1.

The observer NS who indicated the corresponding intention for the wake-up of the monitored person Ob-2 notified at 6:10:15 is the observer NS-2, and the room RM-2 (room RM of room number 2) There is no observer NS who rushed to). This means that the supervisor NS-2 has determined that there is no need to cope with the wake-up of the monitored person Ob-2.

A supervisor NS-3 (not shown) who indicated the corresponding intention regarding the departure of the monitored person Ob-3 notified at 6: 12: 3 is a room RM-3 (room number (room number) The supervisor NS who rushed to the room RM in 3 is a supervisor NS-2. This means that the supervisor NS-3 has requested the supervisor NS-2 to respond.

The observer NS who indicated the corresponding intention for the fall of the monitored person Ob-4 notified at 6:20:45 is the observer NS-1, who is a room RM-4 (room RM of room number 4 The observer NS who has rushed to) is the observer NS-1 and the observer NS-3 (not shown). This means that the observer NS-1 requested the observer NS-3 to respond together.

The observer NS who indicated the corresponding intention for the fall of the monitored person Ob-2 notified at 6:28:50 is the observer NS-3 (not shown), and the room RM-2 (room number) There is no supervisor NS who rushed to the second room RM). This means that although the monitor NS-3 (not shown) indicates the intention to respond, none of the monitor NS has rushed to the room RM-2 of the monitored person Ob-2. The supervisor of the person-to-be-monitored monitoring support system MS indicated the intention of the person to be monitored Ob-2 to respond to the fall, but there was a person who had the person to be monitored Ob-2 to cope with the fall. There is no overseer NS who rushed to the RM-2, and it can be grasped that there has been a fall.

As described above, according to the embodiment, when a predetermined event occurs in the observer Ob, the observer NS (monitored person Ob who has rushed to the room RM in which the event has occurred in order to respond to the event) It is possible to identify whether or not there is an observer NS) who rushed to under who, if any, who. Furthermore, according to the embodiment, it is possible to specify who is the observer NS (the observer NS who operates the portable terminal apparatus TA and inputs the corresponding intention) indicating the intention corresponding to the event. As described above, according to the embodiment, when a predetermined event occurs in the monitored person Ob, when the mobile terminal devices TA of the plurality of observers NS are notified of that, the monitored person is actually monitored. It is possible to support the confirmation of the observer NS who rushed to Ob.

FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an event recording table 322-2 which is another example of the event recording table 322.

Referring to FIG. 13, the event recording table 322-2 has a column 3228, a column 3229, and a column 3230 in addition to the columns 3221 to 3227. A column 3228 is a column of room leaving time, in which the time when the supervisor NS who has entered the room RM leaves the room RM is recorded. The recording unit 32 records, as the room leaving time, the time ((16) in FIG. 8) at which the room number is read using the reading unit 45 when the monitor NS leaves the room.

A field 3229 records the time from event notification to room entry. The recording unit 32 records in the column 3229 the time from the event notification time recorded in the column 3221 to the room entry time recorded in the column 3224. As a result, it is possible to know the time from when the observer NS is notified of the occurrence of an event to when the observer NS rushes to the room RM where the event has occurred.

A field 3230 records the time from room entry to room exit. The recording unit 32 records in the column 3230 the time from the room entrance time recorded in the column 3224 to the room exit time recorded in the column 3228. Thereby, the supervisor NS who rushed to the living room RM knows the time corresponding to the event that occurred.

The recording unit 32 may record the time from the time indicating the intention to the room entering time in the event recording table 322-1 shown in FIG. 5 and the event recording table 322-2 shown in FIG. According to this, after the supervisor NS carrying the portable terminal device TA shows the intention corresponding to the predetermined event generated in the monitored person Ob-1, the living room RM-1 in which the monitored person Ob-1 is present In the (monitoring area), it is possible to record a time corresponding to the time until the observer NS rushes. Therefore, the manager of the person-to-be-monitored monitoring support system MS can grasp the speed of the response of the monitor NS to the occurrence of a predetermined event.

Any of the event recording table 322-1 shown in FIG. 5 and the event recording table 322-2 shown in FIG. 13 can be applied to the first modified example and the second modified example of the embodiment to be described next.

A first modification of the embodiment will be described. The contents different between the embodiment and the first modification will be described, and the description of the common contents will be omitted. FIG. 14 is a block diagram showing the sensor unit SU and the reading unit 70 disposed in the living room RM in the first modification. As shown in FIG. 6, in the embodiment, the reading unit 45 is provided in each mobile terminal device TA, and the barcode 60 indicating the room number is arranged in the room RM. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14, in the first modification, the reading unit 70 is provided in each living room RM, and the bar code 71 indicating the ID (supervisor ID) of the supervisor NS is each portable terminal It is attached to the housing of the device TA.

Referring to FIG. 14, the reading unit 70 is a barcode reader. The reading unit 70 reads the ID of the observer NS who carries the mobile terminal apparatus TA by reading the barcode 71 attached to the mobile terminal apparatus TA. The barcode 71 indicates the ID of the observer NS who carries the portable terminal device TA to which the barcode 71 is attached. The barcode 71 attached to the portable terminal device TA-1 indicates the ID of the supervisor NS-1, and the barcode 71 attached to the portable terminal device TA-2 is the identifier of the supervisor NS-2. ID is shown. The reading unit 70 transmits the read supervisor ID to the SU communication IF unit 11.

When the first monitor who is any one of a plurality of monitors NS rushes to the monitoring area where the first monitored person who is any of a plurality of monitored persons Ob is present, the reading unit 70 First identifying information (ID of the observer NS) that directly or indirectly identifies the second, and second identifying the sensor device SU disposed in the monitoring area where the first monitored person is It becomes possible to read one specific information among the specific information (room number). In the embodiment, the one specific information read by the reading unit 45 is the second specific information (room number) ((11) and (16) in FIGS. 6 and 8). On the other hand, in the first modification, one of the pieces of identification information read by the reading unit 70 is first identification information (ID of the monitor NS).

The sensor device SU according to the first modification includes a binding information generation unit 16 and a recording unit 17 in addition to the SU control processing unit 10, the SU communication IF unit 11, the imaging unit 12, the storage unit 13, and the detection unit 14.

The tying information generation unit 16 stores (prepares) the room number of the room RM in which the sensor device SU including the tying information generation unit 16 is disposed. Taking the sensor device SU-1 as an example, the association information generation unit 16 stores (prepares) the room number 1 of the room RM-1 in advance.

The association information generation unit 16 associates the association information in which the room number (second identification information) stored in advance and the ID of the observer NS (first identification information) read by the reading unit 70 are associated. Generate That is, the linking information generation unit 16 generates linking information in which the other specific information stored in advance and the one specific information read by the reading unit 70 are linked. In the first modified example, the other identification information is second identification information, and one identification information is first identification information.

When the association information generation unit 16 generates the association information, the SU notification unit 15 causes the SU communication IF unit 11 to notify the association information with the management server SV as a destination.

The recording unit 17 records the ID of the supervisor NS who is currently in the room RM in the room entry recording table 321. FIG. 15 is an explanatory view for explaining an entrance recording table 321-2 which is another example of the entrance recording table 321. As shown in FIG. The entry recording table 321-2 includes a column 3212 and does not include the column 3211 shown in FIG. 4. This is because the recording unit 17 included in the sensor device SU records the supervisor NS who is currently entering the room RM in which the sensor device SU is disposed. Taking the sensor device SU-1 as an example, the recording unit 17 included in the sensor device SU-1 records the ID of the observer NS who is currently in the room RM-1. Here, the ID of the observer NS-1 ("ID_NS-1") is recorded.

If there is a supervisor NS who is currently in the room RM, the ID of the supervisor NS is recorded in the column 3212. If there are a plurality of supervisors NS who are currently in the room RM, those supervisors The ID of the NS is recorded in the column 3212. When there is no supervisor NS who is currently in the room RM, “NULL” is recorded in the column 3212. For example, if the monitor NS-1 is currently in the room RM-1, the ID of the monitor NS-1 is recorded in the column 3212, and the monitor NS-1 and the monitor are currently in the room RM-1. When the person NS-2 has entered the room, the ID of the observer NS-1 and the ID of the person NS-2 are recorded in the column 3212 and the observer NS is not currently in the room RM-1 , “NULL” is recorded in the column 3212.

In the recording unit 17, when the reading unit 70 reads the bar code 71 and notifies the monitor ID, the monitor NS indicated by the monitor ID is a room RM in which the sensor device SU including the recording unit 17 is disposed. It is considered that the room is currently entered, and recording on the entry record table 321 is executed.

FIG. 16 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the management server SV in the first modification. In the management server SV of the first modification, the recording unit 32 includes the event recording table 322 but does not include the room entry recording table 321 illustrated in FIG. 3. This is because the entry recording table 321 is provided in the recording unit 17 of the sensor device SU shown in FIG.

FIG. 17 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the mobile terminal device TA in the first modification. The mobile terminal device TA of the first modification includes the TA control processing unit 40, the TA communication IF unit 41, the TA input unit 42, and the TA output unit 43. However, the reading unit 45 and the tying information generation shown in FIG. The unit 46 is not provided. Instead of these, the reading unit 70 and the tying information generation unit 16 shown in FIG. 14 are provided.

As described above, the barcode 71 is attached to the surface of the housing of the mobile terminal device TA of the first modification.

The operation of the person-to-be-monitored monitoring support system MS according to the first modification will be described using the person to be monitored Ob-1 as an example. FIG. 18 is an explanatory view for explaining this operation. FIG. 9 is the first half of the flowchart explaining this operation. FIG. 19 is the second half of the flowchart explaining this operation. Since the first half of this operation is the same as that of the embodiment, the description will be omitted. In other words, (1) to (10) in FIG. 18 are the same as (1) to (10) in FIG.

It is assumed that the monitor NS-1 rushes to the room RM-1 in order to cope with the fall of the monitored person Ob-1. Referring to FIGS. 14, 18 and 19, reading unit 70 determines whether or not the ID (supervisor ID) of supervisor NS-1 carrying portable terminal device TA-1 is read (step S120). ). This ID is indicated by the barcode 71 attached to the portable terminal device TA-1. The reading unit 70 reads the bar code 71 to read the ID of the observer NS-1. When the reading unit 70 determines that the ID of the monitor NS-1 is not read (No in step S120), the process of step S120 is repeated.

When the reading unit 70 determines that the ID of the supervisor NS-1 has been read (Yes in step S120, (21 in FIG. 18)), this ID is notified to the sensor device SU-1 (step S121 in FIG. 18). (22)). This notification includes the time when the reading unit 70 reads the ID of the monitor NS-1.

The SU control processing unit 10 determines whether the SU communication IF unit 11 has received notification of the ID (supervisor ID) of the supervisor NS-1 from the reading unit 70 (step S220). When the SU control processing unit 10 determines that the SV communication IF unit 31 has not received the notification (No in step S220), the SU control processing unit 10 repeats the process of step S220.

When the SU control processing unit 10 determines that the SU communication IF unit 11 receives notification of the ID (supervisor ID) of the supervisor NS-1 from the reading unit 70 (Yes in step S220), the recording unit 17 It is assumed that the supervisor NS-1 indicated by the ID is currently entering the room RM-1, and recording on the entry record table 321 is executed (step S221, (23) in FIG. 18). Explaining in detail, FIG. 20 is an explanatory view specifically explaining transition of recording to the entry record table 321-2. The column 3212 shown in FIG. 20 is the same as the column 3212 shown in FIG.

Before the sensor device SU-1 is notified of the ID (supervisor ID) of the supervisor NS-1, since there is no supervisor NS in the room RM-1, a column of the supervisor ID is entered in the entry record table 321-2. An observer ID is not recorded in 3212 ((a) in FIG. 20). Since the sensor unit SU-1 is notified of the ID (monitoring person ID) of the monitoring person NS-1 (Yes in step S220), the recording unit 17 displays the monitoring person included in the notification in the monitoring person ID column 3212. "ID_NS-1" which is the ID of NS-1 is recorded ((b) in FIG. 20).

Referring to FIGS. 14, 18 and 19, in the entry record table 321-2 shown in FIG. 20, the association information generation unit 16 records the ID of the monitor NS in the monitor ID column 3212. It is determined whether or not there is (step S222). As shown in (b) of FIG. 20, the ID of the supervisor NS-1 is recorded in the column 3212 of the supervisor ID (Yes in step S222). Therefore, the tying information generation unit 16 generates tying information (step S223, (24) in FIG. 18). Explaining in detail, the tying information generation unit 16 generates tying information in which the room number 1 stored in advance and the ID of the supervisor NS-1 read by the reading unit 70 are tied. The association information includes the time when the reading unit 70 reads the ID of the monitor NS-1.

The SU notification unit 15 causes the SU communication IF unit 11 to notify the association information with the management server SV as a destination (step S224, (25) in FIG. 18).

Referring to FIGS. 16, 18 and 19, SV control processing unit 30 determines whether SV communication IF unit 31 has received notification of association information from SU notification unit 15 (step S320). When the SV control IF unit 31 determines that the SV communication IF unit 31 has not received the notification of the association information from the SU notification unit 15 (No in step S320), the SV control processing unit 30 repeats the process of step S320.

When the SV control processing unit 30 determines that the SV communication IF unit 31 receives the notification of the association information from the SU notification unit 15 (Yes in step S320), the recording unit 32 generates an event based on the association information. The supervisor NS-1 who rushed to the room RM-1 is recorded on the recording table 322 (step S321, (26) in FIG. 18). This is the same as (15) in FIG. 8, and the recording shown in FIG. 11C is made.

As described above, in the recording unit 32, the monitored person monitoring support device (the management server device SV and the sensor device SU) sends a predetermined notification ((2) in FIG. 18), and a generation unit (association information generation unit 16) on the condition that the binding information is generated ((24) in FIG. 18), the first identification information (ID of the observer NS), the second identification information (room number), and the first monitored person Record the predetermined event that occurred in the monitored area where

Referring to FIGS. 14, 18 and 19, when the monitor NS-1 leaves the room RM-1, the reader 70 reads the ID of the monitor NS-1 again. Specifically, the reading unit 70 determines whether the ID of the monitor NS-1 has been read (step S122). As described above, the ID of the supervisor NS-1 is indicated by the barcode 71 attached to the portable terminal device TA-1. The reading unit 70 reads the bar code 71 to read the ID of the observer NS-1. When the reading unit 70 determines that the ID of the monitor NS-1 is not read (No in step S122), the process of step S122 is repeated.

When the reading unit 70 determines that the ID of the supervisor NS-1 has been read (Yes in step S122, (27 in FIG. 18), this ID is notified to the sensor device SU-1 (step S123 in FIG. 18). (28)). This notification includes the time when the reading unit 70 reads the ID of the monitor NS-1.

The SU control processing unit 10 determines whether the SU communication IF unit 11 has received notification of the ID of the monitor NS-1 from the reading unit 70 (step S220). When the SU control processing unit 10 determines that the SV communication IF unit 31 has not received the notification (No in step S220), the SU control processing unit 10 repeats the process of step S220.

When the SU control processing unit 10 determines that the SU communication IF unit 11 receives notification of the ID of the monitor NS-1 from the reading unit 70 (Yes in step S220), the recording unit 17 transmits the information to the entry record table 321. The recording is executed (step S221, (29) in FIG. 18). More specifically, referring to FIG. 20, before the sensor device SU is notified of the supervisor ID, the supervisor NS-1 is present in the room RM-1, so the supervisor in the entry record table 321-2 In the ID column 3212, the ID of the monitor NS-1 is recorded ((b) in FIG. 20). Since the monitoring device ID is notified to the sensor unit SU (Yes in step S220, (28 in FIG. 18), the recording unit 17 receives the ID of the monitoring person NS-1 (“ID_NS-1”) included in this notification. Referring to FIG. 20, “ID_NS-1” is erased in the supervisor ID column 3212 and “NULL” is recorded ((c) in FIG. 20).

Referring to FIGS. 14, 18 and 19, in the entry information recording unit 321-2 shown in FIG. 20, the tying information generation unit 16 records the ID of the supervisor NS in the supervisor ID column 3212. It is determined whether or not it is (step S222). As shown in (c) of FIG. 20, the supervisor ID is not recorded in the supervisor ID column 3212 (No in step S222). That is, there is no supervisor NS in the room RM-1. Therefore, the linking information generation unit 16 does not generate the linking information (step S225). Thus, the recording unit 32 illustrated in FIG. 16 does not execute recording in the event recording table 322.

A second modified example of the embodiment will be described. The contents different between the first modification and the second modification will be described, and the description of the common contents will be omitted. FIG. 21 is a block diagram showing a sensor unit SU, a reading unit 70 and a room entry / exit detection unit 80 disposed in the room RM in the second modification. In the second modified example, in addition to the sensor unit SU and the reading unit 70 shown in FIG. 14, an entrance / exit detection unit 80 (entry detection unit) is provided. In the recording unit 17 of the first modification shown in FIG. 14, the reading unit 70 reads the ID of the monitor NS and notifies the sensor apparatus SU of the ID of the read monitor NS, thereby recording on the room entry recording table 321. ((21), (22), (23), (27), (28), (29) in FIG. 18). On the other hand, in the recording unit 17 of the second modification, the reading unit 70 reads the ID of the monitor NS, notifies the sensor apparatus SU of the read ID of the monitor NS, and the entry / exit detection unit 80 When the room entry signal is sent to the sensor unit SU, the ID of the supervisor NS is recorded in the room entry recording table 321. In the recording unit 17 of the second modification, the reading unit 70 reads the ID of the monitor NS, notifies the sensor apparatus SU of the read ID of the monitor NS, and the exit signal from the entry / exit detection unit 80 When sent to the sensor unit SU, the ID of the observer NS is deleted from the entry record table 321.

FIG. 22 is a schematic view showing a state in which an example of the entry / exit detection unit 80 is disposed. This figure shows a state where the vicinity of the entrance 93 of the living room RM is viewed from above. The room RM and the corridor 90 are separated by

walls

91 and 92. An entrance 93 is formed between the wall 91 and the wall 92.

The reading unit 70 is attached to the wall on the corridor 91 side of the wall 91. Before entering the room RM, the supervisor NS uses the reading unit 70 to read the bar code 71 (ID of the supervisor NS).

The entry / exit detection unit 80 includes a light emitting unit 81 attached to the wall of the wall 91 on the room side, and a light receiving unit 82 attached to the wall of the wall 92 on the room side. The light projector 81 includes a light source 83 and a light source 84. The

light sources

83 and 84 are, for example, LEDs. The light receiving unit 82 includes a light receiving element 85 and a light receiving element 86. The

light receiving elements

85 and 86 are, for example, photodiodes.

The light L 1 emitted from the light source 83 is received by the light receiving element 85. The light L 2 emitted from the light source 84 is received by the light receiving element 86. As seen from the corridor 90, behind the entrance 93, there are an optical path of the light L1 and an optical path of the light L2. The light path of the light L2 is closer to the entrance / exit 93 than the light path of the light L1. Therefore, when a person enters the living room RM, first, the light path of the light L2 is blocked, and then the light path of the light L1 is blocked. When a person leaves the room RM, first, the light path of the light L1 is blocked, and then the light path of the light L2 is blocked. When the light path of the light L2 is blocked and the light path of the light L1 is blocked next, the entry / exit detection unit 80 sends a signal (entry signal) indicating entry to the SU communication IF unit 11. When the light path of the light L1 is blocked and the light path of the light L2 is blocked next, the entry / exit detection unit 80 sends a signal (exit signal) indicating leaving to the SU communication IF unit 11.

The entry / exit detection unit 80 has a function of an entrance detection unit because it can detect a person who has entered the room RM. The entrance detection unit is disposed in the living room RM (monitoring area), and detects entrance to the living room RM (monitoring area).

The operation of the monitored person monitoring support system MS according to the second modification will be described by taking the monitored person Ob-1 as an example. FIG. 23 is an explanatory view for explaining this operation. Since (1) to (10), (21) and (22) in FIG. 23 are the same as (1) to (10), (21) and (22) in FIG. 18, the description will be omitted. FIG. 24 is an explanatory view specifically explaining transition of recording to the entry recording table 321-2 in the second modification. The column 3212 shown in FIG. 24 is the same as the column 3212 shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 21 to FIG. 23, in order to cope with the fall of the monitored person Ob-1, the monitor NS-1 rushes to the living room RM-1, and the reader 70 reads the ID of the monitor NS-1 (monitor It is assumed that the person ID) is read ((21) in FIG. 23) and the ID of the observer NS-1 is notified to the sensor unit SU-1 ((22) in FIG. 23). Then, the monitor NS-1 enters the room RM-1 from the entrance 93. At this time, the entry / exit detection unit 80 sends an entry signal to the SU communication IF unit 11 ((41) in FIG. 23).

The recording unit 17 is notified of the ID of the monitor NS-1 to the sensor device SU, and the room entry signal is sent from the room entrance / exit detection unit 80. The ID is recorded ((42) in FIG. 23, (b) in FIG. 24). Then, the linking information generation unit 16 generates linking information ((43) in FIG. 23). As described above, in the association information generation unit 16, the reading unit 70 reads one of the specific information (the ID of the monitor NS-1) and the monitoring in which the first monitored person (the monitored person Ob-1) is present The association information is generated on condition that the entrance detection unit (entry / exit detection unit 80) disposed in the monitoring area where the first monitored person is located detects entrance to the area (room RM-1).

The sensor device SU-1 notifies the management server SV of the association information, and the management server SV supervises the NS-1 who has rushed to the room RM-1 in the event record table 322 based on the association information. Are recorded ((44), (45) in FIG. 23). This is the same as ((25), (26)) in FIG.

When the observer NS-1 finishes dealing with the fall of the monitored person Ob-1, and leaves the room RM-1, the observer NS-1 goes out of the entrance 93 of the room RM-1 to the corridor 90. At this time, the entry / exit detection unit 80 transmits an exit signal to the SU communication IF unit 11 ((46) in FIG. 23). Then, the ID of the monitor NS-1 is read again by the reading unit 70 ((47) in FIG. 23), and the ID of the monitor NS-1 is notified to the sensor device SU-1 (( 48).

Since the sensor unit SU is notified of the monitor ID and the exit signal is sent from the entry / exit detection unit 80, the recording unit 17 deletes the ID of the monitor NS-1 from the entry record table 321-2. ((49) in FIG. 23, (c) in FIG. 24). The association information generation unit 16 does not generate the association information because no ID of any of the observers NS is recorded in the entry record table 321-2. Thus, the recording unit 32 illustrated in FIG. 16 does not execute recording in the event recording table 322. The above is the operation of the second modification.

A predetermined event (falling over) occurs in the monitored person Ob-1 (first monitored person), and the monitoring person NS-1 (first monitoring person) operates the room RM-1 (monitoring area) to cope with this And the reading unit 70 reads the ID (one specific information) of the observer NS-1. After that, the supervisor NS-1 may leave the room RM-1 without responding to a predetermined event generated for the supervisor Ob-1 (for example, another monitor other than the monitor Ob-1) Predetermined event that needs to be urgently addressed to the person Ob. In this case, the observer NS-1 rushes to the room RM-1 of the monitored person Ob-1, but does not respond to the predetermined event generated in the monitored person Ob-1. According to the second modification, in the tying information generation unit 16, the reading unit 70 reads the ID (one specific information) of the monitor NS-1 and the entrance to the living room RM-1 is performed in the living room RM- Under the condition that the entry / exit detection unit 80 (entrance detection unit) disposed in 1 detects the link ((21), (41) in FIG. 23), the association information is generated ((43) in FIG. 23). Therefore, it can be understood that the observer NS-1 rushed to the room RM-1 of the person Ob-1 to be monitored, and at the same time, the person NS-1 corresponds to a predetermined event that occurred to the person Ob-1 to be monitored. Can be estimated.

In the second modification, the room entrance / exit detection unit 80 is provided separately from the sensor unit SU. However, the sensor unit SU may have a function of the entrance / exit detection unit 80. Referring to FIG. 21, the entry / exit detection unit 80 of this aspect performs image processing of person detection on the moving image in the living room RM captured by the imaging unit 12 to obtain the number of people in the living room RM. Detect changes. When the entrance / exit detection unit 80 detects that the person in the living room RM has changed from one person (monitored person Ob) to a plurality of persons (monitored person Ob, observers NS), the observer NS to the living room RM Detect entry into the room. When the entry / exit detection unit 80 detects that the persons in the living room RM have changed from a plurality of people (the monitored person Ob, the observer NS) to one person (the observed person Ob), the observer NS to the room RM Detect the exit of the room.

In the embodiment, the first modified example, and the second modified example, when the mobile terminal apparatus TA is notified of the occurrence of an event, the supervisor NS who is willing to respond to the event uses the mobile terminal apparatus TA, This is an aspect that can indicate the response intention. Not limited to this aspect, there is also an aspect in which the mobile terminal device TA is notified of the occurrence of an event, but the supervisor NS does not indicate the handling intention by using the mobile terminal device TA. The event recording table 322 used in this mode will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 25 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an event recording table 322-3 which is another example of the event recording table 322. The event record table 322-2 includes the columns 3221 to 3225 shown in FIG. 5, but does not include the

columns

3226 and 3227 related to the response intention.

In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the reading unit 45 provided in the portable terminal device TA reads a room number (one specific information) indicated by the bar code 60, and as shown in FIGS. 14 and 21, In the first modified example and the second modified example, the reading unit 70 disposed in the living room RM reads the ID (one of the specific information) of the observer NS indicated by the barcode 71.

The combination of one specific information and the reading unit is, for example, as follows.

(1) When one specific information is indicated by a barcode, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet terminal, and a barcode reader can be used as a reading unit.

(2) When one specific information is indicated by a two-dimensional code, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet terminal, or a two-dimensional code reader can be used as a reading unit.

(3) When one specific information is stored in an IC card (RF tag) or a magnetic card, a card reader can be used as a reading unit.

(4) When one specific information is stored in an IC chip embedded in an electronic device (for example, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet terminal), the IC chip reader can be used as a reading unit.

(5) When one specific information is stored in an electronic device (for example, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet terminal), an electronic device capable of wireless communication with a very short distance with the electronic device may be used as a reading unit it can. The extremely short distance is about several centimeters to about 1 meter. As such wireless communication, there is NFC (Near Field Communication) communication, for example.

When the monitored person is in a private room, the private room is a monitoring area, and when the monitored person is in a shared room, the living space of the monitored person (for example, a bed and its surroundings) is a monitoring area.

The first identification information is information that directly or indirectly identifies the first observer. The former is, for example, the ID of the first monitor and the name of the first monitor. The latter is, for example, an ID of a portable terminal device carried by the first supervisor. The second specific information is information that directly or indirectly specifies the sensor device. The former is, for example, the ID of the sensor device. The latter is, for example, the number of the individual room or the name of the first monitored person when the sensor device is arranged in the individual room.

The reading unit reads one of the first identification information and the second identification information. When one of the identification information is the first identification information, the reading unit is disposed in the monitoring area in which the person to be monitored is present. If the one specific information is the second specific information, the reader carries the reading unit. Thus, the reading unit can not read one of the specific information unless the surveillance person rushes to the monitoring area where the surveillance person is present.

The generation unit stores the second specification information as the other specification information in advance when the one specification information is the first specification information, and when the one specification information is the second specification information, the generation unit generates the second specification information as the other specification information. 1) The identification information is stored in advance. The generation unit generates association information in which the other specific information stored in advance and the one specific information read by the reading unit are associated. As a result, association information in which the first identification information and the second identification information are associated is generated.

When a predetermined event (for example, a fall) occurs in the monitoring area in which the first monitored person is present, the monitored person monitoring support device notifies the plurality of mobile terminal devices of the predetermined. In order to respond to this event, the first observer goes to the monitoring area where the first monitored person is located, and the reading unit reads one of the specific information in the monitoring area, and the generation unit reads a string based on this information. Generate additional information. The recording unit links and records the first identification information with the predetermined event generated for the first monitored person and the second identification information, based on the association information. As a result, a predetermined event occurs in the first monitored person, and in order to cope with this, it is possible to record that the first monitoring person rushed to the monitoring area where the first monitored person is present. Therefore, according to the person-to-be-monitored person monitoring support system according to the first aspect of the embodiment, when a predetermined event occurs in the person to be monitored, the mobile terminal devices of the plurality of observers are notified of that. In this case, it is possible to support the confirmation of the observer who rushed to the person to be monitored.

In the above-described configuration, the recording unit performs the operation on condition that the first mobile terminal device, which is any of the plurality of mobile terminal devices, receives an operation indicating an intention corresponding to the predetermined notification. Third identification information that directly or indirectly identifies the monitoring person is linked to the predetermined event generated for the first monitored person and recorded, and after the recording, the generation unit transmits the third identification information On condition that information is generated, the first specific information is recorded in association with the predetermined event that has occurred for the first monitored person, the second specific information, and the third specific information.

“The first portable terminal device has received an operation indicating an intention to respond to a predetermined notification” corresponds to a predetermined event that a supervisor carrying the first portable terminal device has occurred for a first monitored person It means that you have shown your will. The monitor carrying the first mobile terminal device may be a first monitor or may be a monitor other than the first monitor. The former is that a supervisor who has shown a will corresponding to a predetermined event generated for the first monitored person rushes to the monitoring area in which the first monitored person is present. The latter is that an observer other than the observer who showed the intention rush to the monitoring area where the first monitored person is present.

The third identification information is information that directly or indirectly identifies an observer (in other words, an observer carrying the first portable terminal device) who has performed an operation indicating an intention corresponding to the predetermined notification. The former is, for example, the ID of this monitor, the name of this monitor. The latter is, for example, an ID of a portable terminal device carried by this monitor.

The recording unit associates the first identification information with the predetermined event that has occurred for the first monitored person, the second identification information, and the third identification information, on condition that the generation unit generates the association information. Record. Therefore, when the generation unit does not generate the tying information (that is, none of the plurality of observers rushed to the monitoring area where the first monitored person is present), the recording unit generates the first identification information. Do not record. As a result, although the supervisor of the person-to-be-monitored monitoring support system indicated the intention corresponding to the predetermined event generated for the first person to be monitored, the first person to be monitored It can be grasped that there were no observers who rushed to the surveillance area where the person was.

In the above configuration, on condition that the first portable terminal device has received an operation indicating an intention corresponding to the predetermined notification, the monitored person monitoring support device is the rest of the devices other than the first portable terminal device. A second predetermined notification indicating that the plurality of the observers have the intention corresponding to the predetermined notification to the mobile terminal device of

According to this configuration, the supervisor carrying the remaining mobile terminal devices other than the first mobile terminal device can know that it is not necessary to rush to the monitoring area where the first monitored person is present. It is possible to reduce the burden on the supervisor carrying the remaining mobile terminal devices other than the terminal device.

In the above-mentioned configuration, the recording unit is a time from the time when the first portable terminal device receives an operation indicating an intention corresponding to the predetermined notification to the time when the reading unit reads the one specific information. Record

In this configuration, the time when the reading unit reads one of the specific information is regarded as the time when the first observer rushed to the monitoring area where the first monitored person is present. According to this configuration, after the observer carrying the first portable terminal device indicates the intention corresponding to the predetermined event generated in the first monitored person, the monitoring area in which the first monitored person is present is (1) It is possible to record the time equivalent to the time it takes for the observer to rush. Therefore, the manager of the person-to-be-monitored monitoring support system can grasp the speed at which the monitor responds to the occurrence of a predetermined event.

In the above configuration, the monitored person monitoring support system further includes a plurality of entrance detection units disposed in each of the plurality of monitoring areas and detecting entrance to the monitoring area in which the monitored person is present; The unit is configured such that the reading unit reads the one specific information, and the entrance to the monitoring area in which the first monitored person is located is located in the monitoring area in which the first monitored person is The association information is generated on the condition that the detection unit detects.

A predetermined event occurs in the first monitored person, and in order to respond to this, the first observer rushes to the monitoring area where the first monitored person is present, and one of the specific information is read by the reading unit . After that, the first observer may leave the place without responding to a predetermined event generated for the first monitored person (for example, urgently respond to other monitored persons other than the first monitored person) You have to make certain events happen). In this case, although the first observer rushed to the monitoring area in which the first monitored person is present, it does not correspond to the predetermined event generated in the first monitored person. According to this configuration, the generation unit detects that the reading unit reads one of the specific information and the entrance to the monitoring area where the first monitor is present is disposed in the monitoring area where the first monitored person is present The linkage information is generated on the condition that the unit detects it. Therefore, it can be understood that the first observer has rushed to the monitoring area where the first monitored person is present, and it can be estimated that the first monitoring person corresponds to the predetermined event generated in the first monitored person. .

In the above configuration, the reading unit is provided to each of the plurality of mobile terminal devices.

The reading unit may be carried by the observer or may be disposed in the monitoring area where the monitored person is present. When the supervisor carries the reading unit, the mobile terminal device and the reading unit may be separate, or the reading unit may be provided in the mobile terminal device. This configuration is the latter. According to this configuration, since the supervisor does not need to carry the reading unit in addition to the portable terminal device, the convenience of the supervisor can be improved.

In the above configuration, the reading unit is arranged in each of the plurality of monitoring areas in which a plurality of the persons to be monitored are present.

This configuration is an aspect in which the reading unit is disposed in the monitoring area in which the monitored person is present.
