Determines the safety of a resident based on a change in brightness and / or a change in temperature. FIG. 2 shows an example of a change in brightness and temperature when a resident is living fine during a sunny winter day. The brightness is caused by turning on / off a fluorescent lamp and opening / closing a curtain. Sudden changes in heating,
In addition to a sudden change in temperature due to turning off, natural changes in brightness and temperature are mixed.

If there is no such a rapid change over a period of time, it is determined that there is an abnormality. Regarding the temperature, if there is a rapid change in temperature within 12 hours, for example, a change of 7 degrees or more within 15 minutes, it is determined that the temperature is normal (energy), and such a rapid change occurs over 12 hours or more. It is determined that there is no abnormality when there is not.
