Description

Monitored person monitoring support system and 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 as a monitoring target.

In recent years, with the advent of a super-aged society, technologies that complement work in the nursing industry, the nursing care industry, etc. have been researched and developed.

The monitored person monitoring device disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a monitored person monitoring apparatus that detects and notifies a predetermined action of a monitored person that is a monitoring target, and monitors the monitored person. A monitoring function stop processing unit for stopping the operation.

The deaf person monitoring device disclosed in Patent Document 2 includes a heat ray sensor that is installed at an entrance and senses an entrance / exit, an external light receiver that is also installed near the entrance, an interlocking device that receives these signals, and a warning release remote controller When the heat ray sensor senses a resident, a suspicious person, etc., the heat ray sensor sends a signal to a receiving unit provided in the interlocking device, and is further provided in the interlocking device. The control unit receives a signal from the receiving unit, determines whether the external receiver has released the warning state by the operation of the warning release remote controller, and if not released to the notification device such as a nurse call parent device When a signal is sent and released, a signal is sent to a notification device such as a nurse call master.

By the way, the monitored person monitoring apparatus that monitors the monitored person detects and notifies a predetermined action in the monitored person. However, when a worker who is not a monitored person, for example, performs a predetermined work such as care or cleaning, enters the monitoring area of the monitored person monitoring apparatus, the monitored person monitoring apparatus performs a predetermined action on the worker. There is a risk of detection and notification. Such notification is not meaningless in itself, and if a worker other than the worker rushes by this notification, the rushing hurts and the work efficiency is lowered.

The monitored person monitoring device disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a monitoring function stop processing unit that stops a monitoring function for monitoring the monitored person. However, since the monitoring function stop processing unit stops the monitoring function by the monitoring function stop operation by the monitor at the terminal device, the monitoring target monitoring device has a complicated monitoring function stop operation to stop the monitoring function. There is a risk that the monitoring function of the monitored person who is not the desired monitored person will be stopped by mistake.

In the guardian monitoring device disclosed in Patent Document 2, the alert state is released by the operation of the alert release remote controller, so that other persons except the facility personnel can operate the alert release remote controller, and are not necessarily controlled by the facility personnel. It is not necessarily the operation of the alert release remote control.

The behavior detection processing unit 142 detects a predetermined behavior preset in the monitored person Ob and notifies the management server device SVa of the 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. Then, 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 detects the temporal change in the size of the detected head of the monitored person Ob. Based on this, the rising, leaving, falling, and falling of the monitored person Ob are detected. More specifically, first, 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 in the area where the bedding BD is located. The first threshold value Th1 is a threshold value for identifying the size of the head in the lying posture and the size of the head in the sitting posture in the region where the bedding BD is located. The second threshold Th2 is a threshold for identifying whether or not the head is in the standing posture in the living room RM excluding the location area of the bedding BD. The third threshold value Th3 is a threshold value for identifying whether or not the size is the size of the head of the lying posture in the living room RM excluding the location area of the bedding BD. 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 first 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). And the action detection process part 142 detects awakening, getting out of bed, falling, and falling from the position and magnitude | size of this extracted head. For example, the behavior detection processing unit 142 determines that the position of the extracted head is within the region where the bedding BD is located, and the size of the extracted head uses the first threshold Th1 to determine the size of the lying posture. When the time changes from the sitting posture to the size of the sitting posture, it is determined that the user gets up and the rising is detected. For example, the behavior detection processing unit 142 is a case where the position of the extracted head changes over time from the location of the bedding BD to the outside of the location of the bedding, and the size of the extracted head is the second size. When the time Th is changed from a certain size to the size of the standing posture by using the threshold 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 over time from the location where the bedding BD is located to the outside of the location where the bedding BD is located, and the size of the extracted head is the first size. When the time changes from a certain size to the size of the recumbent posture by using the three threshold Th3, it is determined that the vehicle has fallen, and the fall is detected. For example, the behavior detection processing unit 142 uses the third threshold value Th3 when the extracted head position is in the room RM excluding the location area of the bedding BD 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.

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. Communication signal (first event notification communication signal) is notified to the management server device SVa by the SU communication IF unit 15. More specifically, the behavior detection processing unit 142 transmits a first event notification communication signal containing the 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, to the SU. The data is transmitted to the management server device SVa via the 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). Here, the behavior detection processing unit 142 detects the rising, leaving, falling, and 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 following, first, the operation of the first embodiment relating to stop and release of notification in the monitored person monitoring support system MSa will be described, and then the operation related to notification of a predetermined event in the monitored person monitoring support system MSa will be described. To do.

(Stop notification and release stop)
Here, in the following description, as an example, at the beginning, the portable terminal device TAa-1 is assigned the worker ID by the worker NS-1 who carries the portable terminal device TAa-1 at the time of login operation, for example. “ID-NA” is input, and worker ID; “ID-NA” is stored in advance. Then, the worker NS is not present in the room RM-1, and the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t11 stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161 is as shown on the left side of FIG. It is assumed that the worker ID is not registered (stored).

In the operation of the first embodiment relating to the stop and release of the notification, in FIG. 6, for example, by the notification of a predetermined event, according to, for example, a nursing plan or a care plan, or, for example, in a cleaning operation, the worker NS- 1. When entering (entering) the room RM-1 (monitoring area) of the monitored person Ob-1, the portable terminal device TAa-1 carried by the person is provided corresponding to the room RM-1 The reading operation for reading the worker ID (first specific information) is performed near the ID device RDa-1 (C11).

When the portable terminal device TAa-1 and the ID device RDa-1 are close to each other, the portable terminal device TAa-1 is stored in the TA storage unit 33 by the worker ID information output processing unit 325 of the TA control processing unit 32. The worker ID; “ID-NA” stored in the worker ID information storage unit 332 is extracted, and the extracted worker ID; “ID-NA” is transmitted by the TAIF unit 37 (the worker ID; “ The communication device accommodating “ID-NA” is transmitted by the TAIF unit 37), and the ID device RDa-1 receives the worker ID “ID-NA” transmitted from the portable terminal device TAa-1, and thereby The worker ID is read from the portable terminal device TAa-1 (C12).

Subsequently, the ID device RDa-1 notifies the operator ID “ID-NA” read from the portable terminal device TAa-1 to the sensor device SUa-1 provided in the room RM-1 (the worker ID: “Communication signal accommodating“ ID-NA ”is transmitted to the sensor device SUa-1) (C13).

Upon receiving the notification of the worker ID; “ID-NA” from the ID device RDa-1, the sensor device SUa-1 performs a SU control processing unit to process the entry / exit status of the worker NS with respect to the living room RM-1. The operator ID “ID-NA” notified from the ID device RDa-1 is managed by the SU management processing unit 145a of 14a (C14). More specifically, the notified worker ID; “ID-NA” is not registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the SU entry / exit status information table MTa stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. In this case, the SU management processing unit 145a generates a new record and registers the notified worker ID; “ID-NA” in the worker ID field 1611 of the newly generated record. On the other hand, when the notified worker ID; “ID-NA” is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the SU entry / exit status information table MTa stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161, The SU management processing unit 145a deletes the record for registering the notified worker ID; “ID-NA” (erase the worker ID from the worker ID field 1611).

In the example shown in FIG. 7, when the notification of the worker ID; “ID-NA” is received from the ID device RDa-1, the notified worker ID; “ID-NA” is used as the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. Is not registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t11 stored in the table, the SU management processing unit 145a generates a new record, and the worker ID of the newly generated record The notified worker ID; “ID-NA” is registered in the field 1611. As a result, the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t11 shown on the left side of FIG. 7 becomes the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t12 shown in the center of the page, and the operator ID; “ID- The SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t12 in which “NA” is registered is stored.

Subsequently, when the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t11 is updated to the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t12, the worker ID; in the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t12 managed by the SU management processing unit 145a; Since “ID-NA” exists, the sensor device SUa-1 transmits a stop instruction notification communication signal to the management server device SVa by the SU notification control unit 146 of the SU control processing unit 14a in order to notify the stop instruction. (C15). More specifically, the SU notification control unit 146 reads the worker ID; “ID-NA” from the portable terminal device TAa-1 and includes the room RM-1 provided with the ID device RDa-1 (the sensor device). In order to stop the detection notification in the living room RM-1 monitored by SUa-1 and the living room RM-1 in which the sensor device SUa-1 is provided, the sensor ID of its own device: “SU-1” The stop instruction notification communication signal containing the stop instruction is generated to the management server device SVa, and the generated stop instruction notification communication signal is transmitted by the SU communication IF unit 15.

When the stop instruction notification communication signal is received from the sensor device SUa-1, the management server device SVa performs a process of controlling event notification from the sensor device SUa by the SV notification control unit 223 of the SV control processing unit 22 ( C16, notification control processing (notification stop processing)). More specifically, since the SV notification control unit 223 has received the stop instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUa-1, the sensor ID accommodated in the received stop instruction notification communication signal; “SU-1” Then, a record in which the extracted sensor ID; “SU-1” is registered in the transmission source field 2321 is selected (searched) from the notification destination correspondence information table AT, and a notification permission / inhibition flag in the selected record is extracted. A notification permission / refusal flag “1” is registered in the field 2323 according to the extracted stop instruction. This stops the notification when a predetermined event is notified to a predetermined terminal device SP or TAa as described later.

Then, for example, when the worker NS-1 who is present in the living room RM-1 leaves the room, the portable terminal device TAa-1 he / she carries is transferred to the living room RM-1 A reading operation for reading the worker ID (first specific information); “ID-NA” is performed near the corresponding ID device RDa-1 (C21).

When the portable terminal device TAa-1 and the ID device RDa-1 are brought close to each other, the worker ID information output processing unit 325 in the portable terminal device TAa-1 The operator ID; “ID-NA” stored in the information storage unit 332 is extracted, and the extracted operator ID; “ID-NA” is transmitted by the TAIF unit 37. The ID device RDa-1 is a portable terminal. The worker ID “ID-NA” transmitted from the device TAa-1 is received, and thereby the worker ID; “ID-NA” is read from the portable terminal device TAa-1 (C22).

Subsequently, the ID device RDa-1 uses the sensor device SUa provided in the room RM-1 with the worker ID; -1 is notified (C23).

Upon receiving the notification of the worker ID; “ID-NA” from the ID device RDa-1, the sensor device SUa-1 performs a SU control processing unit to process the entry / exit status of the worker NS with respect to the living room RM-1. The operator ID “ID-NA” notified from the ID device RDa-1 is managed by the SU management processing unit 145a of 14a (C24). More specifically, here, as shown in the center of the page of FIG. 7, the notified worker ID; “ID-NA” is the SU entry / exit status information stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. Since it is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the table MTa-t12, the SU management processing unit 145a deletes the record for registering the notified worker ID; “ID-NA”. As a result, the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t12 shown in the center of the page of FIG. 7 becomes the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t13 shown on the right side of the page, and the operator ID; “ID- The record in which “NA” is registered disappears, and the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t13 in which no worker ID is registered is stored.

Subsequently, when the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t12 is updated to the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t13, the worker ID is added to the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t13 managed by the SU management processing unit 145a. Therefore, the sensor device SUa-1 transmits a stop release instruction notification communication signal to the management server device SVa by the SU notification control unit 146 of the SU control processing unit 14a in order to notify the stop release instruction (C25). More specifically, the SU notification control unit 146 reads the worker ID; “ID-NA” from the portable terminal device TAa-1 and includes the room RM-1 provided with the ID device RDa-1 (the sensor device). In order to cancel the stop of the detection notification in the room RM-1 monitored by SUa-1 and the room RM-1 provided with the sensor device SUa-1, the sensor ID of its own device; 1 ”and a stop release instruction notification communication signal containing the stop release instruction are generated for the management server device SVa, and the generated stop release instruction notification communication signal is transmitted by the SU communication IF unit 15.

When the stop cancellation instruction notification communication signal is received from the sensor device SUa-1, the management server device SVa executes a process of controlling event notification from the sensor device SUa by the SV notification control unit 223 of the SV control processing unit 22. (C26, notification control processing (notification stop cancellation processing)). More specifically, since the SV notification control unit 223 has received the stop release instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUa-1, the SV notification control unit 223 is accommodated in the received stop release instruction notification communication signal. The selected sensor ID: “SU-1” and the stop release command are extracted, and a record for registering the extracted sensor ID in the transmission source field 2321 is selected (searched) from the notification destination correspondence information table AT. The notification permission flag “0” is registered in the notification permission flag field 2323 in accordance with the extracted stop cancellation command. As a result, the stop of the notification when the predetermined event is notified to the predetermined terminal device SP, TAa is released, and the predetermined event is notified to the predetermined terminal device SP, TAa as described later.

In the above description, the case where one worker NS-1 enters the room RM-1 of the monitored person Ob-1 and leaves the room has been described. However, a plurality of workers, NS-1 and NS-, are here. A case where 2 enters the room RM-1 of the monitored person Ob-1 and leaves the room will be described below.

Here, in the following description, at the beginning, for example, at the time of a login operation, the worker ID; “ID-NA” is input to the portable terminal device TAa-1 carried by the worker NS-1, The worker ID; “ID-NA” is stored in advance, and the worker ID; “ID-NB” is input to the portable terminal device TAa-2 carried by the worker NS-2, and the worker ID; It is assumed that “NB” is stored in advance. Then, no worker NS-1 is present in the living room RM-1, and the SU entry / exit situation information table MTa-t21 stored in the SU entry / exit situation information storage unit 161 is on the left side of FIG. As shown, it is assumed that the worker ID is not registered (stored).

In FIG. 8, for example, when the worker NS-1 enters the room RM-1 of the monitored person Ob-1, for example, the worker NS-1 moves the portable terminal device TAa-1 carried by the worker NS-1 to the room RM- A reading operation for reading the worker ID is performed near the ID device RDa-1 provided corresponding to No. 1 (C31).

When the mobile terminal device TAa-1 and the ID device RDa-1 are brought close to each other, the mobile terminal device TAa-1 is stored in the stored worker ID; The ID device RDa-1 receives this, and reads the worker ID; “ID-NA” from the portable terminal device TAa-1 (C32).

Subsequently, the ID device RDa-1 uses the operator ID “ID-NA” read from the portable terminal device TAa-1 as the sensor C SUa provided in the room RM-1 in the same manner as the process C13 described above. -1 is notified (C33).

Upon receiving the notification of the worker ID; “ID-NA” from the ID device RDa-1, the sensor device SUa-1 performs SU management in order to process the entry / exit status of the worker NS-1 with respect to the room RM-1. The processing unit 145a manages the worker ID; “ID-NA” notified from the ID device RDa-1 (C34). More specifically, here, as shown on the left side of FIG. 9, the notified worker ID; “ID-NA” is stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. Since it is not registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the table MTa-t21, the SU management processing unit 145a generates a new record, and the worker notified to the worker ID field 1611 of the newly generated record. ID: “ID-NA” is registered. As a result, the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t21 shown on the left side of FIG. 9 becomes the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t22 shown second from the left side of the page, and the operator ID; The SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t22 in which “ID-NA” is registered is stored.

Subsequently, when the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t21 is updated to the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t22, the worker ID; in the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t22 managed by the SU management processing unit 145a; Since “ID-NA” exists, the sensor device SUa-1 accommodates its own sensor ID and stop command by the SU notification control unit 146 in order to notify the stop instruction in the same manner as the above-described process C15. A stop instruction notification communication signal is transmitted to the management server device SVa (C35).

When the stop instruction notification communication signal is received from the sensor device SUa-1, the management server device SVa executes a process for controlling event notification from the sensor device SUa by the SV notification control unit 223, as in the above-described process C16. (C36, notification control processing (notification stop processing)). More specifically, since the SV notification control unit 223 has received the stop instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUa-1, the sensor ID accommodated in the received stop instruction notification communication signal; “SU-1” Then, a record in which the extracted sensor ID; “SU-1” is registered in the transmission source field 2321 is selected (searched) from the notification destination correspondence information table AT, and a notification permission / inhibition flag in the selected record is extracted. A notification permission / refusal flag “1” is registered in the field 2323 according to the extracted stop instruction. This stops the notification when a predetermined event is notified to a predetermined terminal device SP or TAa as described later.

Subsequently, for example, when the worker NS-2 enters the living room RM-1 in which the worker NS-1 has entered, the portable terminal device TAa-2 carried by the worker NS-2 is transferred to the living room RM. A reading operation for reading the worker ID; “ID-NB” is performed close to the ID device RDa provided corresponding to (C41).

When the portable terminal device TAa-2 and the ID device RDa-1 are brought close to each other, the portable terminal device TAa-2, like the above-described process C12, stores the worker ID stored therein; “ID-NB The ID device RDa-1 receives this, and reads the worker ID; “ID-NB” from the portable terminal device TAa-2 (C42).

Subsequently, as in the above-described process C13, the ID device RDa-1 uses the worker ID “ID-NB” read from the portable terminal device TAa-2 as the sensor device SUa provided in the room RM-1. -1 is notified (C43).

Upon receiving the notification of the worker ID; “ID-NB” from the ID device RDa-1, the sensor device SUa-1 handles the SU management processing unit in order to process the entry / exit status of the worker NS with respect to the living room RM-1. 145a manages the worker ID; “ID-NB” notified from the ID device RDa-1 (C44). More specifically, here, as shown second from the left in FIG. 9, this notified worker ID; “ID-NB” is stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. Since it is not registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the entry / exit status information table MTa-t22, the SU management processing unit 145a generates a new record and the notification is sent to the worker ID field 1611 of the newly generated record. The operator ID “ID-NB” is registered. As a result, the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t22 shown second from the left in FIG. 9 becomes the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t23 shown at the center of the page, and the operator ID; The SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t23 in which “ID-NA” and “ID-NB” are registered is stored.

Subsequently, when the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t22 is updated to the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t23, the worker ID; in the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t23 managed by the SU management processing unit 145a; Since “ID-NA” and “ID-NB” are present, the sensor device SUa-1 uses the SU notification control unit 146 to notify its own sensor ID in order to notify the stop instruction in the same manner as in the above-described process C15. And a stop instruction notification communication signal accommodating the stop command is transmitted to the management server device SVa (C45).

When the stop instruction notification communication signal is received from the sensor device SUa-1, the management server device SVa executes a process for controlling event notification from the sensor device SUa by the SV notification control unit 223, as in the above-described process C16. (C46, notification control processing (notification stop processing)). More specifically, since the SV notification control unit 223 has received the stop instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUa-1, the sensor ID accommodated in the received stop instruction notification communication signal; “SU-1” Then, a record in which the extracted sensor ID; “SU-1” is registered in the transmission source field 2321 is selected (searched) from the notification destination correspondence information table AT, and a notification permission / inhibition flag in the selected record is extracted. A notification permission / refusal flag “1” is registered in the field 2323 according to the extracted stop instruction. Accordingly, the stop of the notification when the predetermined event is notified to the predetermined terminal device SP and TAa as described later is maintained.

Then, for example, when the worker NS-1 who is present in the living room RM-1 exits due to the completion of the purpose, the portable terminal device TAa-1 he / she carries is transferred to the living room RM- A reading operation for reading the worker ID; “ID-NA” is performed in the vicinity of the ID device RDa-1 provided corresponding to No. 1 (C51).

When the portable terminal device TAa-1 and the ID device RDa-1 are brought close to each other, the portable terminal device TAa-1 is stored in the worker ID; The ID device RDa-1 receives this, and reads the worker ID; “ID-NA” from the portable terminal device TAa-1 (C52).

Subsequently, the ID device RDa-1 uses the operator ID “ID-NA” read from the portable terminal device TAa-1 as the sensor C SUa provided in the room RM-1 in the same manner as the process C13 described above. -1 is notified (C53).

Upon receiving the notification of the worker ID; “ID-NA” from the ID device RDa-1, the sensor device SUa-1 handles the SU management processing unit in order to process the entry / exit status of the worker NS with respect to the living room RM-1. 145a manages the worker ID “ID-NA” notified from the ID device RDa-1 (C54). More specifically, here, as shown in the center of the page of FIG. 9, the notified worker ID; “ID-NA” is the SU entry / exit status information stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. Since it is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the table MTa, the SU management processing unit 145a deletes the record for registering the notified worker ID; “ID-NA”. As a result, the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t23 shown at the center of the page of FIG. 9 is changed to the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t24 shown second from the right side of the page, and the operator ID; The SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t24 in which “ID-NB” is registered is stored.

Subsequently, when the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t23 is updated to the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t24, the operator ID; Since “ID-NB” is present, the sensor device SUa uses the SU notification control unit 146 to notify its own sensor ID; “SU-1” and stop, in order to notify the stop instruction, similarly to the above-described process C15. A stop instruction notification communication signal accommodating the command is transmitted to the management server device SVa (C55).

When the stop instruction notification communication signal is received from the sensor device SUa-1, the management server device SVa executes a process for controlling event notification from the sensor device SUa by the SV notification control unit 223, as in the above-described process C16. (C56, notification control processing (notification stop processing)). More specifically, since the SV notification control unit 223 has received the stop instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUa-1, the sensor ID accommodated in the received stop instruction notification communication signal; “SU-1” Then, a record for taking out the stop command and registering the taken-out sensor ID in the transmission source field 2321 is selected (searched) from the notification destination correspondence information table AT, and the notification permission / rejection flag field 2323 in the selected record is extracted. The notification permission / refusal flag “1” is registered according to the stop command. Accordingly, the stop of the notification when the predetermined event is notified to the predetermined terminal device SP and TAa as described later is maintained.

Then, when the worker NS-2 who is present in the living room RM-1 exits due to, for example, the necessary use, the portable terminal device TAa-2 carried by the worker NS-2 is transferred to the living room RM- A reading operation for reading the worker ID; “ID-NB” is performed in the vicinity of the ID device RDa-1 provided corresponding to No. 1 (C61).

When the portable terminal device TAa-2 and the ID device RDa-1 are brought close to each other, the portable terminal device TAa-2, like the above-described process C12, stores the worker ID stored therein; “ID-NB The ID device RDa-1 receives this, and reads the worker ID; “ID-NB” from the portable terminal device TAa-2 (C62).

Subsequently, the ID device RDa receives the worker ID; “ID-NB” read from the portable terminal device TAa-2, as in the above-described process C13, from the sensor device SUa-1 provided in the room RM-1. (C63).

Upon receiving the notification of the worker ID; “ID-NB” from the ID device RDa, the sensor device SUa-1 receives the notification of the worker NS from the room RM-1 in order to process the entry / exit status of the worker NS. The operator ID “ID-NB” notified from the ID device RDa-1 is managed by the SU management processing unit 145a (C64). More specifically, here, as shown second from the right in FIG. 9, this notified worker ID; “ID-NB” is stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. Since it is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the entry / exit status information table MTa-t24, the SU management processing unit 145a deletes the record for registering the notified worker ID; “ID-NB”. As a result, the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t24 shown second from the right in FIG. 9 becomes the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t25 shown on the right side of the page, and the operator ID; The record in which “ID-NB” is registered disappears, and the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t25 in which no worker ID is registered is stored.

Subsequently, when the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t24 is updated to the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t25, the worker ID is added to the SU entry / exit status information table MTa-t25 managed by the SU management processing unit 145a. Therefore, the sensor device SUa-1 sends its own sensor ID; “SU-1” and a stop release command by the SU notification control unit 146 in order to notify the stop release instruction similarly to the process C25 described above. The accommodated stop release instruction notification communication signal is transmitted to the management server device SVa (C65).

When receiving the stop release instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUa-1, the management server device SVa receives the sensor device SUa-1 from the sensor device SUa-1 by the SV notification control unit 223 of the SV control processing unit 22 in the same manner as the process C26 described above. The process for controlling the notification of the event is executed (C66, notification control process (notification stop cancellation process)). More specifically, since the SV notification control unit 223 has received the stop release instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUa-1, the SV notification control unit 223 is accommodated in the received stop release instruction notification communication signal. Sensor ID; “SU-1” and the stop release command are extracted, and a record for registering the extracted sensor ID; “SU-1” in the transmission source field 2321 is selected (searched) from the notification destination correspondence information table AT. Then, the notification permission flag “0” is registered in the notification permission flag field 2323 in the selected record in accordance with the extracted stop release command. As a result, the stop of the notification when the predetermined event is notified to the predetermined terminal device SP, TAa is released, and the predetermined event is notified to the predetermined terminal device SP, TAa as described later.

The monitored person monitoring support system MSa operates in this way with regard to stopping and releasing the notification. In particular, as can be seen from the above, the monitored person monitoring support system MSa of the present embodiment can be used even when a plurality of workers NS enter (enter the room) with a time difference in the same monitoring area (the room RM in the above). Because the worker ID manages the entry / exit of the worker NS with respect to the monitoring area by the worker ID, for example, when the NB enters the same room RM after the NA enters the room, the NB's entry is mistaken as the NA's exit. Thus, there is no possibility of misidentifying the worker NS who has entered or exited.

(Event notification)
First, since the notification NS flag corresponding to the sensor device SUa that has transmitted the first event notification communication signal is not present in the room RM, the notification permission flag “0” is obtained by the above-described operation. Will be described.

In the operation related to the notification of the predetermined event in such a case, in FIG. 10, when the sensor device SUa detects the predetermined event (C71), the first event notification communication signal is used to notify the predetermined event. Is transmitted to the management server device SVa (C72).

More specifically, the sensor device SUa detects a predetermined event in the monitored person Ob by performing the following operation every frame or every several frames, and the first event notification communication signal Is transmitted to the management server device SVa. First, the sensor device SUa acquires an image (image data) for one frame from the imaging unit 11 as a target image, detects a predetermined action in the monitored person Ob based on the acquired target image, and performs the predetermined process. When an action is detected, in order to notify the detection result to a predetermined terminal device SP, TAa, a first event notification communication signal for detecting the predetermined action that contains the predetermined action detected as the event information Is transmitted to the management server device SVa. While operating in this manner, the sensor device SUa determines whether or not a nurse call is accepted, and when accepting the nurse call, notifies the terminal device SP and TAa of the acceptance of the nurse call. In addition, the sensor device SUa transmits a first event notification communication signal for receiving the nurse call, which contains the received nurse call as the event information, to the management server device SVa.

When the first event notification communication signal is received from the sensor device SUa, the management server device SVa is monitored by the SV monitoring processing unit 222 of the SV control processing unit 22 and accommodated in the received first event notification communication signal. Monitoring information related to monitoring Ob is stored (recorded) in the SV monitoring information storage unit 231 (C73).

Subsequently, the management server device SVa checks the necessity of notification by the SV monitoring processing unit 222 of the SV control processing unit 22 (C74). More specifically, the SV monitoring processing unit 222 extracts a sensor ID accommodated in the received first event notification communication signal, and records a record for registering the extracted sensor ID in the transmission source field 2321 as a notification destination. Selection (search) is performed from the correspondence relationship information table AT, and the terminal ID of the notification destination and the notification permission / refusal flag are extracted from the notification destination field 2322 and the notification permission / refusal flag field 2323 in the selected record, respectively. Whether the notification is necessary or not can be checked by referring to the extracted notification permission / refusal flag.

Here, since the extracted notification permission / refusal flag is “0”, the SV monitoring processing unit 222 subsequently sends the second event notification to the terminal devices SP and TAa having the terminal ID of the extracted notification destination. A communication signal is generated, and the generated second event notification communication signal is transmitted by the SV communication IF unit 21 (C75). As described above, when the worker NS is not present in the room RM, a predetermined event detected by the sensor device SUa is transmitted to the predetermined terminal devices SP and TAa via the management server device SVa. Are displayed as terminal devices SP and TAa.

When receiving the second event notification communication signal from the management server device SVa, the terminal devices SP and TAa monitor the monitored person Ob based on each information (each data) accommodated in the received second event notification communication signal. Information is stored (recorded) in the TA monitoring information storage unit 331, and a screen corresponding to each piece of information contained in the received second event notification communication signal is displayed on the TA display unit 36 (C76).

For example, the case of the mobile terminal device TAa will be described as a representative. When the mobile terminal device TAa is logged in, for example, the standby screen 51 shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the TA display unit 36, and the received second event notification communication signal is displayed. When the accommodated event information is the predetermined action, for example, a monitoring information screen 52 shown in FIG. 12 is displayed on the TA display unit 36, while being accommodated in the received second event notification communication signal. When the event information is the nurse call, for example, a nurse call reception screen 53 shown in FIG. 13 is displayed on the TA display unit 36.

The standby screen 51 in the example shown in FIG. 11 includes a menu bar area 511 that displays a menu bar, a standby main area 512 that displays a message indicating that the standby is in progress (for example, “no notification”) and an icon, A time area 513 for displaying the current time, a year / month / sunday area 514 for displaying the current year / month / sunday, and a supervisor name area 515 for displaying the name of the supervisor who is currently logged in to the portable terminal device TAa. Prepare.

The monitoring information screen 52 is a screen for displaying the monitoring information related to the monitoring of the monitored person Ob. The monitoring information screen 52 in the example shown in FIG. 12 has a menu bar area 511, the location of the sensor device SUa having the sensor ID accommodated in the received second event notification communication signal, and the sensor ID. A monitored person name area 521 for displaying the name of the monitored person Ob monitored by the sensor device SUa, an elapsed time from the reception time of the received second event notification communication signal, and the received second event notification A detection information display area 522 for displaying the event information (the detection result of the predetermined action) stored in the communication signal, and an image (that is, the sensor ID) stored in the received second event notification communication signal. An image region 523 for displaying a target image captured by the sensor device SUa (here, a still image), and a “corresponding” button Includes a 24, and "speak" button 525, and a "View LIVE" button 526.

Information that associates the sensor ID, the location of the sensor device SUa, and the name of the monitored person Ob in order to display the location of the sensor device SUa and the name of the monitored subject Ob in the monitored person name area 521 (Sensor information) is stored in the TA storage unit 33. In the detection information display area 522, the event information contained in the received second event notification communication signal (detection results, in the present embodiment, names of getting up, getting out of bed, falling and falling) may be displayed as they are. However, in this embodiment, it is displayed with an icon that symbolically represents the detection result. In order to display with this icon, the TA storage unit 33 stores each action and an icon representative of the action in association with each other in advance. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the detection information display area 522 displays a wake-up icon that symbolizes wake-up. In the monitoring information screen 52, the “corresponding” button 524 performs a predetermined response (handling, treatment, measures) such as lifesaving, nursing, care, and assistance to the detection result displayed on the monitoring information screen 52. It is a button for inputting to the portable terminal device TAa that the intention is the worker NS of the portable terminal device TAa. A “speak” button 525 is a button for requesting a voice call, and is used to input an instruction to connect the sensor device SUa of the sensor ID and the mobile terminal device TAa so as to be able to talk over the network NW. It is a button. The “LIVE” button 526 is a button for requesting a live video, and is a button for inputting an instruction to display a video captured by the sensor device SUa with the sensor ID.

The nurse call reception screen 53 is a screen for displaying reception of a nurse call. The nurse call reception screen 53 in the example shown in FIG. 12 includes a menu bar area 511, a monitored person name area 521, a detection information display area 522, and a message indicating that a nurse call has been received (for example, "Nurse call is a nurse call"). ”), A nurse call reception notification display area 531, a“ corresponding ”button 524, and a“ speak ”button 525. In the nurse call acceptance screen 53, only the elapsed time from the reception time of the received second event notification communication signal is displayed in the detection information display area 522. The nurse call reception screen 53 may further include a “view LIVE” button 526.

While the monitoring information screen 52 and the nurse call reception screen 53 are displayed, the portable terminal device TAa is repeatedly performed by the TA control processing unit 32 until an input operation is received, and the TA input unit 35 and the TA display unit 36 are displayed. It is determined whether or not an input operation is accepted on the touch panel provided. When receiving the input operation, the portable terminal device TAa performs an appropriate process according to the content of the input operation by the TA control processing unit 32, ends the process, and displays the standby screen 51 on the TA display unit 36. Display and wait for the next communication signal addressed to your machine.

For example, when an input operation of the “corresponding” button 524 is received, the TA control processing unit 32, the terminal ID of the own device, the sensor ID corresponding to the monitoring information of the monitored person Ob displayed on the TA display unit 36, A communication signal (corresponding intention notification communication signal) containing event information and information indicating that “corresponding” is accepted (corresponding intention intention information) is transmitted to the management server device SVa. The management server device SVa that has received the corresponding communication intention notification communication signal first stores the corresponding intention information in the SV monitoring information storage unit 231 by the SV control processing unit 22 and indicates that “corresponding” has been received. In order to synchronize between SP and TAa, a terminal device that broadcasts a communication signal (corresponding intention communication signal) containing the sensor ID, event information, and corresponding intention information contained in the received corresponding intention notification communication signal by broadcast communication Send to SP, TA.

Further, for example, when an input operation of the “speak” button 525 is accepted, the call processing unit 323 requests a voice call to the sensor device SUa that monitors the monitored person Ob displayed on the TA display unit 36. A communication signal (call request communication signal) containing the information is transmitted, and the corresponding sensor device SUa is connected so as to be able to make a voice call via the network NW. As a result, a voice call can be performed between the portable terminal device TAa and the sensor device SUa.

Further, for example, when an input operation of the “watch live” button 526 is accepted, the TA streaming processing unit 324 performs live to the sensor device SUa that monitors the monitored person Ob currently displayed on the TA display unit 36. A communication signal (video distribution request communication signal) containing information such as requesting video distribution is transmitted and connected to the sensor device SUa and the network NW so as to be able to download the video, and the sensor device The live video is distributed from SUa, and the received video is displayed on the TA display unit 36 by streaming playback.

It should be noted that during these calls and during streaming playback, an “end” button (not shown) is displayed, and the call and streaming playback are terminated by an input operation of this “end” button.

Returning to FIG. 10, the notification permission flag corresponding to the transmission source sensor device SUa that has transmitted the first event notification communication signal indicates that the worker NS is present in the room RM. The case where the notification permission flag is “1” will be described.

In the operation related to the notification of the predetermined event in such a case, in FIG. 10, when the sensor device SUa detects the predetermined event (C81), similarly to the processes C71 and C72 described above, the predetermined event is detected. Is transmitted to the management server device SVa (C82).

When the first event notification communication signal is received from the sensor device SUa, the management server device SVa is received by the SV monitoring processing unit 222 in the received first event notification communication signal, similarly to the above-described process C73. The monitoring information related to the monitoring of the monitoring person Ob is stored (recorded) in the SV monitoring information storage unit 231 (C83).

Subsequently, the management server device SVa checks the necessity of notification by the SV monitoring processing unit 222 as in the above-described process C74 (C84).

Here, since the extracted notification permission / refusal flag is “1”, the SV monitoring processing unit 222 ends the process without generating the second event notification communication signal. When the worker NS is present in the living room RM as described above, even if the management server apparatus SVa is notified of the predetermined event detected by the sensor apparatus SUa, the management server apparatus SVa receives the received first The second event notification communication signal resulting from the event notification communication signal is not transmitted to the predetermined terminal device SP, TAa, and the predetermined event detected by the sensor device SUa is not displayed on the predetermined terminal device SP, TAa. .

The monitored person monitoring support system MSa operates in this way with respect to the notification of the predetermined event.

In the above description, in order to leave a log, the monitoring information notified by the first event notification communication signal is stored in the SV monitoring information storage unit 231 regardless of the necessity of notification. The monitoring information notified by the first event notification communication signal may be stored in the SV monitoring information storage unit 231. That is, when the second event notification communication signal is transmitted, the monitoring information notified by the first event notification communication signal is stored in the SV monitoring information storage unit 231, and when the second event notification communication signal is not transmitted. The monitoring information notified by the first event notification communication signal is not stored in the SV monitoring information storage unit 231.

As described above, the monitored person monitoring support system MSa and the monitored person monitoring support method implemented therein read the worker ID (specific information) with the ID device RDa (read notification unit) and then the ID device. The worker ID notified from the RDa is managed by the SU management processing unit 145a, and when there is a managed worker ID, the notification of detection in the room RM (monitoring area) is stopped. For this reason, the monitored person monitoring support system MSa and the monitored person monitoring support method can stop the monitoring function by a relatively simple operation such as a reading operation on the ID device RDa by the worker NS. Since the support system MSa and the monitored person monitoring support method stop the notification of the detection in the room RM provided with the ID device RDa obtained by reading the worker ID from the portable terminal device TAa, it is surely desired. The monitoring function of the monitored person Ob (monitoring area) can be stopped. The monitored person monitoring support system MSa and the monitored person monitoring support method stop the detection notification in the monitoring area when there is a managed worker ID, so that the monitoring function is provided by entering the worker NS. The monitoring function can be stopped by outsiders. Therefore, the monitored person monitoring support system MSa and the monitored person monitoring support method can control the stop of the monitoring function according to the entry of the worker NS.

In the monitored person monitoring support system MSa and the monitored person monitoring support method, the worker NS with the worker ID leaves the room RM when the managed worker ID is further notified from the ID device RDa. And the management of the worker ID under the management is canceled. In the monitored person monitoring support system MSa and the monitored person monitoring support method, when the worker ID managed by the SU management processing unit 145a is lost, that is, the worker NS is in the room RM. When the user ceases to exist, the stop of the notification of the detection in the living room RM is canceled. Therefore, the monitored person monitoring support system MSa and the monitored person monitoring support method can release the suspension of the monitoring function by a relatively simple operation of the operator NS, that is, a re-reading operation on the ID device RDa.

Next, another embodiment will be described.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a configuration of a sensor device of the second embodiment in the monitored person monitoring support system.

In the monitored person monitoring support system MSa in the above-described first embodiment, the entry of the worker NS into the monitoring area is determined by the ID device RDa and the mobile terminal device TAa being close to each other. In the monitored person monitoring support system MSb in the embodiment, the entrance to the management area is determined by a sensor.

For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the monitored person monitoring support system MSb in the second embodiment has one or more sensor devices SUb (SUb) as in the monitored person monitoring support system MSa in the first embodiment. -1 to SUb-3), one or more ID devices RDb (RDb-1 to RDb-3), a management server device SVb, a fixed terminal device SP, and one or more portable terminal devices TAb (TAb- 1, TAb-2) and a private branch exchange CX, which are communicably connected via a network NW. The ID device RDb, the management server device SVb, the fixed terminal device SP, the portable terminal device TAb, and the private branch exchange CX in the monitored person monitoring support system MSb of the second embodiment are each monitored person monitoring support of the first embodiment. Since it is the same as the ID device RDa, management server device SVa, fixed terminal device SP, portable terminal device TAa, and private branch exchange CX in the system MSa, description thereof is omitted.

Similar to the sensor device SUa of the first embodiment, the sensor device SUb is provided corresponding to the monitoring area where the monitored person Ob to be monitored is located, and other devices SVb, SP, TAd via the network NW. It is a device that has a communication function for communicating, etc., and notifies the management server device SVb of a predetermined event related to the monitored person Ob. In the second embodiment, the sensor device SUb manages the specific information (worker ID in this embodiment) notified from the ID device RDb based on the detection result of the entrance / exit detection unit 17 described later, and the management result A control signal for controlling the notification of the detection is transmitted to the management server device SVb based on.

For example, as shown in FIG. 14, such a sensor device SUb includes an imaging unit 11, a SU sound input / output unit 12, a nurse call reception operation unit 13, a SU control processing unit 14 b, and a SU communication IF unit 15. And an SU storage unit 16 and an entrance / exit detection unit 17. The imaging unit 11, the SU sound input / output unit 12, the nurse call reception operation unit 13, the SU communication IF unit 15, and the SU storage unit 16 in the sensor device SUb according to the second embodiment are respectively the sensor device SUa according to the first embodiment. The imaging unit 11, the SU sound input / output unit 12, the nurse call reception operation unit 13, the SU communication IF unit 15, and the SU storage unit 16 in FIG.

The entrance / exit detection unit 17 is connected to the SU control processing unit 14b and detects the presence / absence of entry into the monitoring area according to the control of the SU control processing unit 14b. The entrance / exit detection unit 17 outputs the detection result to the SU control processing unit 14b. The entrance / exit detection unit 17 is, for example, arranged at the boundary of the monitoring area (for example, the entrance / exit of the living room RM), and the infrared type human sensor having the monitoring area (for example, the living room RM) as the detection area, And an entrance determination unit that determines whether or not there is an entrance into the monitoring area according to a detection result of the infrared human sensor, and detects only whether or not the worker NS enters the monitoring area. However, in this embodiment, the entrance / exit detection unit 17 further detects the presence / absence of exit from the monitoring area. Such an entrance / exit detection unit 17 includes a plurality of light emitting units arranged at a predetermined height position along the entrance / exit direction at the boundary of the monitoring area (for example, the entrance / exit of the living room RM). And the plurality of light emitting units so as to be separated from each of the plurality of light emitting units by a predetermined width (for example, a length greater than a person width or a width of the entrance / exit of the storage room RM) in a direction orthogonal to the entrance / exit direction A plurality of light receiving sections arranged to receive each light emitted from each of the sections, and an entrance / exit for determining whether there is an entrance / exit to the monitoring area according to each light reception result of each of the plurality of light receiving sections And a determination unit. In such a configuration, the entrance / exit determination unit determines that the light reception output is obtained sequentially from the plurality of light receiving units along the entrance direction, and receives light sequentially from the plurality of light receiving units along the exit direction. When the output is obtained, it is determined that the vehicle is leaving.

Similar to the SU control processing unit 14a in the first embodiment, the SU control processing unit 14b controls the respective units 11 to 13, 15, and 16 of the sensor device SUb according to the functions of the respective units, so that the monitored person Ob This is a circuit for notifying the management server device SVb of a predetermined event (event) involved. Then, the SU control processing unit 14b manages the specific information (worker ID in the present embodiment) notified from the ID device RDb based on the detection result of the entrance / exit detection unit 17, and based on the management result, A control signal for controlling the detection notification is transmitted to the management server device SVb. The SU control processing unit 14b executes the SU control processing program so that the SU control unit 141, the behavior detection processing unit 142, the nurse call processing unit 143, the SU streaming processing unit 144, the SU management processing unit 145b, and the SU notification A processing unit 146 is functionally provided. The SU control unit 141, the behavior detection processing unit 142, the nurse call processing unit 143, the SU streaming processing unit 144, and the SU notification control unit 146 in the SU control processing unit 14b of the second embodiment are respectively the SU control unit 14b of the first embodiment. Since it is the same as the SU control unit 141, the behavior detection processing unit 142, the nurse call processing unit 143, the SU streaming processing unit 144, and the SU notification control unit 146 in the control processing unit 14a, description thereof is omitted.

The SU management processing unit 145b manages the specific information (worker ID in this embodiment) notified from the ID device RDb based on the detection result of the entrance / exit detection unit 17. More specifically, the SU management processing unit 145b receives the worker ID when the worker ID is notified from the ID device RDb and the entry / exit detection unit 17 detects entry. If the ID is not registered in the worker ID field 1611 (see FIGS. 16 and 18 described later) of the SU entry / exit situation information table MTb stored in the SU entry / exit situation information storage unit 161, a new record is stored. The notified worker ID is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the newly generated record. On the other hand, when the worker ID is notified from the ID device RDb and the entry / exit detector 17 detects exit, the SU management processor 145b determines that the notified worker ID is the SU If registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the SU entry / exit status information table MTb stored in the entry / exit status information storage unit 161, the record for registering the notified worker ID is deleted (the task described above). The worker ID is deleted from the worker ID field 1611). In this way, the SU management processing unit 145b manages the entry / exit situation of the worker NS with respect to the monitoring area depending on whether the worker ID is stored based on the detection result of the entry / exit detection unit 17.

When the entrance / exit detection unit 17 detects only entrance, when the ID device RDb and the mobile terminal device TAb are close to each other and the worker ID is notified from the ID device RDb, the SU management processing unit 145b. If the notified worker ID is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the SU entry / exit status information table MTb stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161, the notified work What is necessary is just to delete the record which registers person ID.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 15 is a sequence diagram showing an operation of the second embodiment related to the stop and release of notification in the monitored person monitoring support system as an example. FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the SU entry / exit status information table in the operation shown in FIG. FIG. 16 shows the SU entry / exit status information tables MTb-t31, MTb-t32, MTb-t33, and MTb-t34 at time t31, time t32, time t33, and time t34 in order from the left side to the right side of the page. ing. FIG. 17 is a sequence diagram showing the operation of the second embodiment relating to the stop and release of notification in the monitored person monitoring support system as another example. FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the SU entry / exit status information table in the operation shown in FIG. FIG. 18 shows the SU entry / exit status information tables MTb-t41, MTb-t42, MTb-t43, and MTb-t44 at time t41, time t42, time t43, and time t44 in order from the left side to the right side. ing.

In the monitored person monitoring support system MSb having the above-described configuration, when the devices SUb, RDb, SVb, SP, and TAb are turned on, the necessary units are initialized and started to operate. In the sensor device SUb, by executing the SU control processing program, the SU control processing unit 14b includes the SU control unit 141, the behavior detection processing unit 142, the nurse call processing unit 143, the SU streaming processing unit 144, and the SU management processing unit 145b. And SU notification control part 146 is constituted functionally. The management server device SVb and the mobile terminal device TAb are the same as in the first embodiment.

Hereinafter, the operation of the second embodiment relating to the stop and release of notification in the monitored person monitoring support system MSb will be described. Since the operation related to the notification of the predetermined event in the monitored person monitoring support system MSb is the same as the operation related to the notification of the predetermined event in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

Here, in the following description, as an example, at the beginning, for example, at the time of login operation, the worker ID; “ID-NA” is input to the portable terminal device TAa-1 carried by the worker NS-1. The worker ID; “ID-NA” is stored in advance, and the worker ID; “ID-NB” is input to the portable terminal device TAa-2 carried by the worker NS-2. It is assumed that “ID-NB” is stored in advance. Then, the worker NS is not in the room RM-1, and the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t31 stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161 is shown on the left side of FIG. It is assumed that the worker ID is not registered (stored).

In the operation of the second embodiment relating to the stop and release of the notification, in FIG. 15, for example, by notification of a predetermined event, the worker NS-1 enters the room RM-1 (monitoring area) of the monitored person Ob. When entering (entering), the portable terminal device TAb-1 carried by the user is brought close to the ID device RDb-1 provided corresponding to the room RM-1, and the worker ID (specific information) is set. A reading operation for reading is performed (C211).

When the portable terminal device TAb-1 and the ID device RDb-1 are close to each other, the portable terminal device TAb-1 detects the worker ID information of the TA control processing unit 32 as in the process C12 of the first embodiment. The output processing unit 325 extracts the worker ID; “ID-NA” stored in the worker ID information storage unit 332 of the TA storage unit 33, and uses the extracted worker ID; “ID-NA” as the TAIF unit. 37 (the communication signal accommodating the worker ID; “ID-NA” is transmitted by the TAIF unit 37), and the ID device RDb-1 receives the worker ID transmitted from the portable terminal device TAb-1. “ID-NA” is received, and thereby the worker ID is read from the portable terminal device TAb-1 (C212).

Subsequently, the ID device RDb-1 is provided with the worker ID “ID-NA” read by the portable terminal device TAb-1 in the living room RM-1 as in the process C13 of the first embodiment. The sensor device SUb-1 is notified (a communication signal containing the worker ID is transmitted to the sensor device SUb-1) (C213).

Here, the worker NS-1 brings the portable terminal device TAb-1 and the ID device RDb-1 close to each other as described above. However, the worker NS-1 enters the room RM-1 by, for example, a sudden call or the like. Without entering the room RM-1, the entrance / exit detection unit 17 does not detect the entry of the worker NS-1, and the entrance detection result is output from the entrance / exit detection unit 17 to the SU control processing unit 14b. Not. For this reason, the sensor device SUb-1 does not perform subsequent processing. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 16, even when the notification of the worker ID; “ID-NA” is received from the ID device RDb-1, the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t31 shown on the left side of FIG. As in the SU entry / exit situation information table MTb-t32 shown second from the left in FIG. 16, the SU entry / exit situation information table MTb-t32 with no registered worker ID is stored in the SU entry / exit situation information storage unit 161. Stored (MTb-t31 = MTb-t32). Therefore, monitoring by the sensor device SUb-1 is continued. The sensor device SUb enters or leaves the entrance / exit detection unit 17 within a predetermined time (for example, within 5 seconds or within 10 seconds) after the worker ID is notified from the ID device RDb. If the detection result is not notified, the current process may be terminated.

When the worker NS-2 enters the room RM-1 of the monitored person Ob, for example, by notification of the predetermined event, the portable terminal device TAb-2 carried by the worker NS-2 is transferred to the room A reading operation for reading the worker ID (specific information) is performed near the ID device RDb-1 provided corresponding to RM-1 (C221).

When the portable terminal device TAb-2 and the ID device RDb-1 are brought close to each other, the portable terminal device TAb-2, like the above-described process C12, stores the worker ID stored therein; “ID-NB The ID device RDb-1 receives this, and reads the worker ID; “ID-NB” from the portable terminal device TAb-1 (C222).

Subsequently, the ID device RDb-1 receives the worker ID “ID-NB” read from the portable terminal device TAb-2, as in the above-described process C13, from the sensor device SUb provided in the room RM-1. -1 is notified (C223).

When the worker NS-2 enters the room RM-1, the entrance / exit detection unit 17 detects the entrance of the worker NS-2 and outputs the entrance detection result to the SU control processing unit 14b (C224).

When the notification of the worker ID; “ID-NB” is received from the ID device RDb-1, and the entrance detection result is received from the entrance / exit detector 17, the sensor device SUb-1 performs the work on the room RM-1. In order to process the entry / exit status of the person NS, the operator ID “ID-NB” notified from the ID device RDb-1 is managed by the SU management processing unit 145b of the SU control processing unit 14b (C225). More specifically, the notified worker ID; “ID-NB” is not registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the SU entry / exit status information table MTb stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. In this case, the SU management processing unit 145b generates a new record and registers the notified worker ID; “ID-NB” in the worker ID field 1611 of the newly generated record. On the other hand, when the notified worker ID; “ID-NB” is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the SU entry / exit situation information table MTb stored in the SU entry / exit situation information storage unit 161, The SU management processing unit 145b deletes the record for registering the notified worker ID; “ID-NB” (deletes the worker ID from the worker ID field 1611).

In the example shown in FIG. 16, when the notification of the worker ID; “ID-NB” is received from the ID device RDb-1, and the detection result of the entrance is received from the entrance / exit detection unit 17, the notified worker ID "ID-NB" is not registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t32 stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161, so the SU management processing unit 145b A record is generated, and the notified worker ID; “ID-NB” is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the newly generated record. As a result, the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t32 shown second from the left in FIG. 16 becomes the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t33 shown second from the right on the page, and the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161 stores the work The SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t33 in which the user ID; “ID-NB” is registered is stored.

Subsequently, when the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t32 is updated to the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t33, the worker ID; in the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t33 managed by the SU management processing unit 145b; Since “ID-NB” exists, the sensor device SUb-1 notifies the stop instruction by the SU notification control unit 146 of the SU control processing unit 14b in the same manner as the process C15 of the first embodiment in order to notify the stop instruction. The notification communication signal is transmitted to the management server device SVb (C226). More specifically, the SU notification controller 146 reads the worker ID; “ID-NB” from the portable terminal device TAb-2, the room RM-1 provided with the ID device RDb-1 (the sensor device) In order to stop the notification of detection in the room RM-1 monitored by SUb-1 and the room RM-1 provided with the sensor device SUb-1, the sensor ID of its own device: “SU-1” Then, a stop instruction notification communication signal containing the stop instruction is generated for the management server apparatus SVb, and the generated stop instruction notification communication signal is transmitted by the SU communication IF unit 15.

When receiving the stop instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUb-1, the management server device SVb receives the sensor device SUb- by the SV notification control unit 223 of the SV control processing unit 22 in the same manner as the processing C16 of the first embodiment. 1 is executed (C227, notification control processing (notification stop processing)). More specifically, since the SV notification control unit 223 receives the stop instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUb-1, the sensor ID contained in the received stop instruction notification communication signal; “SU-1” Then, a record in which the extracted sensor ID; “SU-1” is registered in the transmission source field 2321 is selected (searched) from the notification destination correspondence information table AT, and a notification permission / inhibition flag in the selected record is extracted. A notification permission / refusal flag “1” is registered in the field 2323 according to the extracted stop instruction. As a result, the notification when the predetermined event is notified to the predetermined terminal devices SP and TAb as described above is stopped.

Then, for example, when the response to the notification of the predetermined event is completed, the worker NS-2 present in the room RM-1 leaves the portable terminal device TAb-2 carried by the worker NS-2 when leaving the room. Is read close to the ID device RDb-1 provided corresponding to the living room RM-1, and a reading operation for reading the worker ID is performed (C231).

When the mobile terminal device TAb-2 and the ID device RDb-1 are brought close to each other, the worker ID information output processing unit 325 in the mobile terminal device TAb-2 receives the worker ID as in the process C12 described above. The operator ID; “ID-NB” stored in the information storage unit 332 is extracted, and the extracted operator ID; “ID-NB” is transmitted by the TAIF unit 37. The ID device RDb-1 is a portable terminal. The worker ID “ID-NB” transmitted from the device TAb-2 is received, and thereby the worker ID; “ID-NB” is read from the portable terminal device TAb-2 (C232).

Subsequently, the ID device RDb-1 receives the worker ID “ID-NB” read from the portable terminal device TAb-2, as in the above-described process C13, from the sensor device SUb provided in the room RM-1. -1 is notified (C233).

When the worker NS-2 leaves the room RM-1, the entrance / exit detector 17 detects the exit of the worker NS-2 and outputs the exit detection result to the SU control processor 14b (C234).

When the notification of the worker ID; “ID-NB” is received from the ID device RDb-1, and the detection result of the exit is received from the entrance / exit detector 17, the sensor device SUb-1 performs the work on the room RM-1. In order to process the entry / exit status of the person NS, the operator ID “ID-NB” notified from the ID device RDb-1 is managed by the SU management processing unit 145b of the SU control processing unit 14b (C235). More specifically, here, as shown second from the right in FIG. 16, this notified worker ID; “ID-NB” is stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. Since it is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the entry / exit status information table MTb-t33, the SU management processing unit 145b deletes the record for registering the notified worker ID; “ID-NB”. As a result, the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t33 shown second from the right in FIG. 16 becomes the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t34 shown on the right side of the page, and the operator ID; The record in which “ID-NB” is registered disappears, and the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t34 in which no worker ID is registered is stored.

Subsequently, when the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t33 is updated to the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t34, the worker ID is added to the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t34 managed by the SU management processing unit 145b. Therefore, the sensor device SUb-1 sends a stop release instruction notification communication signal by the SU notification control unit 146 of the SU control processing unit 14b in order to notify the stop release instruction, similarly to the process C25 of the first embodiment. The data is transmitted to the management server device SVb (C236). More specifically, the SU notification controller 146 reads the worker ID; “ID-NB” from the portable terminal device TAb-2, the room RM-1 provided with the ID device RDb-1 (the sensor device) In order to cancel the stop of the notification of detection in the room RM-1 monitored by the SUb-1 and the room RM-1 provided with the sensor device SUb-1, the sensor ID of the own device; 1 ”and a stop release instruction notification communication signal containing the stop release command are generated for the management server apparatus SVb, and the generated stop release instruction notification communication signal is transmitted by the SU communication IF unit 15.

When the stop cancellation instruction notification communication signal is received from the sensor device SUb-1, the management server device SVb causes the SV notification processing unit 223 of the SV control processing unit 22 to cause the management server device SVb to perform the sensor device SUb similarly to the processing C26 of the first embodiment. A process for controlling notification of an event from is executed (C237, notification control process (notification stop cancellation process)). More specifically, since the SV notification control unit 223 has received the stop cancellation instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUb-1, the SV notification control unit 223 is accommodated in the received stop cancellation instruction notification communication signal. Sensor ID; “SU-1” and the stop release command are extracted, and a record for registering the extracted sensor ID; “SU-1” in the transmission source field 2321 is selected (searched) from the notification destination correspondence information table AT. Then, the notification permission flag “0” is registered in the notification permission flag field 2323 in the selected record in accordance with the extracted stop release command. As a result, the stop of the notification when the predetermined event is notified to the predetermined terminal devices SP and TAb is released, and the predetermined event is notified to the predetermined terminal devices SP and TAb as described above.

In the above case, the worker NS-1 who first visited the room RM-1 leaves the room RM-1 without entering the room, and the worker NS-2 who next visited the room RM-1 enters the room. However, conversely, the worker NS-1 who first visited the room RM-1 entered the room, and then the worker NS-2 who visited the room RM-1 The case where the room is not entered by looking at the room will be described below. Here, in the following description, the worker NS is not present in the living room RM-1, and the SU entry / exit situation information table MTb-t41 stored in the SU entry / exit situation information storage unit 161 initially includes As shown on the left side of FIG. 18, it is assumed that the worker ID is not registered (stored).

In such a case, for example, when a worker NS-1 enters the room RM-1 of the monitored person Ob by notification of a predetermined event, the portable terminal device TAb-1 carried by the worker NS-1 A reading operation for reading the worker ID is performed in the vicinity of the ID device RDb-1 provided corresponding to the living room RM-1 (C241).

When the mobile terminal device TAb-1 and the ID device RDb-1 are brought close to each other, the mobile terminal device TAb-2, as in the above-described process C12, stores the worker ID stored therein; “ID-NA The ID device RDb-1 receives this, and reads the worker ID; “ID-NA” from the portable terminal device TAb-1 (C242).

Subsequently, as in the above-described process C13, the ID device RDb-1 uses the worker ID “ID-NA” read from the portable terminal device TAb-1 as the sensor device SUb provided in the room RM-1. -1 is notified (C243).

When the worker NS-1 enters the room RM-1, the entrance / exit detection unit 17 detects the entrance of the worker NS-1 and outputs the detection result of the entrance to the SU control processing unit 14b (C244).

When the notification of the worker ID; “ID-NA” is received from the ID device RDb-1, and the detection result of the entrance is received from the entrance / exit detector 17, the sensor device SUb-1 performs the work on the room RM-1. In order to process the entry / exit status of the operator NS, the operator ID “ID-NA” notified from the ID device RDb-1 is managed by the SU management processing unit 145b of the SU control processing unit 14b (C245). Here, as shown on the left side of FIG. 18, the notified worker ID; “ID-NA” is the work of the SU entry / exit situation information table MTb-t41 stored in the SU entry / exit situation information storage unit 161. Since it is not registered in the operator ID field 1611, the SU management processing unit 145 b generates a new record, and the worker ID notified to the worker ID field 1611 of the newly generated record; “ID-NA ". As a result, the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t41 shown on the left side of FIG. 18 becomes the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t42 shown second from the left side of the page, and the operator ID; The SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t42 in which “ID-NA” is registered is stored.

Subsequently, when the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t41 is updated to the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t42, the operator ID; in the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t42 managed by the SU management processing unit 145b; Since “ID-NA” exists, the sensor device SUb-1 uses the SU notification control unit 146 to notify its own sensor ID; “SU-1” in order to notify the stop instruction in the same manner as the process C15 described above. Then, a stop instruction notification communication signal accommodating the stop command is transmitted to the management server device SVb (C246).

When the stop instruction notification communication signal is received from the sensor device SUb-1, the management server device SVb controls the event notification from the sensor device SUb-1 by the SV notification control unit 223 in the same manner as the process C16 described above. The process is executed (C247, notification control process (notification stop process)). More specifically, the SV notification control unit 223 sets the sensor ID; “SU-1” contained in the received stop instruction notification communication signal in the notification permission flag field 2323 in the record in which the transmission source field 2321 is registered. The notification permission flag “1” is registered in accordance with the stop instruction contained in the received stop instruction notification communication signal. As a result, the notification when the predetermined event is notified to the predetermined terminal devices SP and TAb as described above is stopped.

When the worker NS-2 enters the room RM-1 of the monitored person Ob, for example, by notification of the predetermined event, the portable terminal device TAb-2 carried by the worker NS-2 is transferred to the room A reading operation for reading the worker ID (specific information) is performed near the ID device RDb-1 provided corresponding to RM-1 (C251).

When the portable terminal device TAb-2 and the ID device RDb-1 are brought close to each other, the portable terminal device TAb-2, like the above-described process C12, stores the worker ID stored therein; “ID-NB The ID device RDb-1 receives this, and reads the worker ID; “ID-NB” from the portable terminal device TAb-2 (C252).

Subsequently, the ID device RDb-1 receives the worker ID “ID-NB” read from the portable terminal device TAb-2, as in the above-described process C13, from the sensor device SUb provided in the room RM-1. -1 is notified (C253).

Here, the worker NS-2 brings the portable terminal device TAb-2 and the ID device RDb-1 close to each other as described above, but sees the worker NS-1 in the room RM-1. If the user leaves the room RM-1 without entering (entering) the room RM-1, the entry / exit detection unit 17 does not detect the entry of the worker NS-2 and the entry / exit detection unit 17 The detection result is not output to the SU control processing unit 14b. For this reason, the sensor device SUb-1 does not perform subsequent processing. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 18, even if the notification of the worker ID; “ID-NB” is received from the ID device RDb-1, the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t42 shown second from the left in FIG. Is the same as the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t43 shown second from the right in FIG. 18, and only the worker ID; “ID-NA” is registered in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. The SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t43 is stored (MTb-t42 = MTb-t43). Therefore, the monitoring stop by the sensor device SUb-1 is continued.

Then, for example, when the response to the notification of the predetermined event is completed, the worker NS-1 present in the room RM-1 leaves the portable terminal device TAb-2 carried by the worker NS-1 when leaving the room. Is read close to the ID device RDb-1 provided corresponding to the living room RM-1, and a reading operation for reading the worker ID is performed (C261).

When the mobile terminal device TAb-1 and the ID device RDb-1 are brought close to each other, the mobile terminal device TAb-1 will store the stored worker ID; “ID-NA” as in the process C12 described above. The ID device RDb-1 receives this, and reads the worker ID; “ID-NA” from the portable terminal device TAb-1 (C262).

Subsequently, as in the above-described process C13, the ID device RDb-1 uses the worker ID “ID-NA” read from the portable terminal device TAb-1 as the sensor device SUb provided in the room RM-1. -1 is notified (C263).

When the worker NS-1 leaves the room RM-1, the entrance / exit detector 17 detects the exit of the worker NS-1, and outputs the exit detection result to the SU control processor 14b (C264).

When the notification of the worker ID; “ID-NA” is received from the ID device RDb-1, and the exit detection result is received from the entrance / exit detection unit 17, the sensor device SUb-1 performs the work on the room RM-1. In order to process the entry / exit status of the person NS, the operator ID “ID-NA” notified from the ID device RDb-1 is managed by the SU management processing unit 145b of the SU control processing unit 14b (C265). More specifically, here, as shown second from the right in FIG. 18, this notified worker ID; “ID-NA” is stored in the SU entry / exit status information storage unit 161. Since it is registered in the worker ID field 1611 of the entry / exit status information table MTb-t43, the SU management processing unit 145b deletes the record for registering the notified worker ID; “ID-NA”. As a result, the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t43 shown second from the right in FIG. 18 becomes the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t44 shown on the right side of the page, and the operator ID; The record in which “ID-NA” is registered disappears, and the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t44 in which no worker ID is registered is stored.

Subsequently, when the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t43 is updated to the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t44, the worker ID is added to the SU entry / exit status information table MTb-t44 managed by the SU management processing unit 145b. Since there is not, the sensor device SUb-1 sends its own sensor ID; “SU-1” and the stop release command by the SU notification control unit 146 in order to notify the stop release instruction in the same manner as the process C25 described above. The accommodated stop release instruction notification communication signal is transmitted to the management server device SVb (C266).

When receiving the stop cancellation instruction notification communication signal from the sensor device SUb-1, the management server device SVb receives the event from the sensor device SUb by the SV notification control unit 223 of the SV control processing unit 22 in the same manner as the process C26 described above. Is executed (C267, notification control process (notification stop cancellation process)). More specifically, the SV notification control unit 223 includes a notification permission flag field 2323 in a record in which the sensor ID; “SU-1” stored in the received stop cancellation instruction notification communication signal is registered in the transmission source field 2321. In addition, a notification permission / refusal flag “0” is registered in accordance with the stop cancellation instruction accommodated in the received stop cancellation instruction notification communication signal. As a result, the stop of the notification when the predetermined event is notified to the predetermined terminal devices SP and TAb is released, and the predetermined event is notified to the predetermined terminal devices SP and TAb as described above.

The monitored person monitoring support system MSb operates in this way with regard to stopping and releasing the notification.

As described above, the monitored person monitoring support system MSb and the monitored person monitoring support method implemented in the monitored person monitoring support system MSb correspond to the entry of the worker NS as in the monitored person monitoring support system MSa in the first embodiment. To stop the monitoring function.

The worker NS causes the ID device RDb to read the specific information because it is determined that it is unnecessary to deal with the person to be monitored by visual inspection before entering the site, or because it is necessary to go to another place due to a change in the situation. However, there may be cases where the person does not enter the monitoring area. The monitored person monitoring support system MSb and the monitored person monitoring support method further include an entrance / exit detection unit 17 and stops the detection notification when the entrance / exit detection unit 17 detects the presence of entrance. For this reason, when the worker NS has read the specific information (worker ID in the present embodiment) but does not enter the monitoring area (the room RM in the present embodiment), the stop of the notification of the detection is The notification of the detection is performed as it is without being performed. Therefore, the monitored person monitoring support system MSb and the monitored person monitoring support method can more reliably control the stop of the monitoring function according to the entry of the worker NS.
