  A user notification device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. If possible, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of a user notification device 1, a data management server 2 that receives data from the user notification device 1, and an external measurement device 3 that transmits data to the user notification device 1 according to the present embodiment. is there. These devices and devices transmit and receive data via wired or wireless communication means. Examples of the wired communication means include communication according to USB and IEEE 1394 standards. Examples of the wireless communication means include communication by the IEEE 802.11 system, the Bluetooth (registered trademark) system, and the like.

  Functionally, the user notification device 1 includes a user status data acquisition unit 10, an abnormal value detection unit 11, a notification method determination unit 12, a user notification execution unit 13, a user input reception unit 14, a data transmission unit 15, and standard data TBL. (Table) 17 and notification rule TBL (table) 18 are provided.

  FIG. 2 is a hardware configuration diagram of the user notification device 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the user notification device 1 physically includes an input from a CPU 101, a RAM 102 and a ROM 103 as main storage devices, an auxiliary storage device 105 such as a hard disk and a flash memory, and a keyboard and a mouse as input devices. The computer system includes a device 106, an output device 107 such as a display, and a communication module 104 that is a data transmission / reception device such as a network card. Each function described in FIG. 1 has a communication module 104, an input device 106, and an output device 107 under the control of the CPU 101 by reading predetermined computer software on hardware such as the CPU 101 and the RAM 102 shown in FIG. This is realized by reading and writing data in the RAM 102 and the auxiliary storage device 105. The data management server 2 is similarly configured as a computer system. Furthermore, the external measuring device 3 may be configured as a dedicated device or a computer system.

  The user notification device 1 is constituted by a mobile terminal device, for example. Further, the user notification device 1 may be configured by a dedicated device. Hereinafter, each functional element will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  The user status data acquisition unit 10 acquires user status data transmitted from the external measurement device 3. FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing user state data. The user status data includes data related to the data type, measurement value, and measurement date. In the example illustrated in FIG. 3, the data type is “maximum blood pressure”, the measurement value is “152”, and the measurement date and time is “2008/4”.

  The abnormal value detection unit 11 refers to the standard data TBL17 to determine normality / abnormality of the measurement value included in the acquired user state data. FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing the standard data TBL17. The standard data TBL17 stores a normal value range for each data type as standard data. For example, the standard data of the data type “high blood pressure” is “140 mmhg or less”. Further, the abnormal value detection unit 11 sends data indicating normality / abnormality of the measurement value to the data transmission unit 15.

  When the abnormal value detection unit 11 determines that the measured value is abnormal, the notification method determination unit 12 refers to the notification rule TBL18 and extracts a notification rule corresponding to the acquired user state data. FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically showing the notification rule TBL18. The notification rule TBL 18 stores a plurality of notification rules in association with each data type and measurement value. Each of the plurality of notification rules is associated with a plurality of reaction stages 18a, and a notification rule that defines a notification method that is easier to be recognized by the notification destination is associated with an increase in the reaction stage 18a. The notification rule includes a notification method and a reaction period. The notification method defines a notification method performed by the user notification device 1 to the user. The reaction period is a period during which a user input operation is received. This input operation is performed by the user in response to the notification. When data indicating that the input operation has not been received is acquired from the user input receiving unit 14, the notification method determining unit 12 notifies the reaction stage 18a above the notification rule that is the basis of the executed notification. Extract rules.

  The user notification execution unit 13 executes notification to the user based on the notification rule extracted by the notification method determination unit 12. This notification is intended to make the user recognize that there is an abnormality in the measurement value included in the user state data. For example, when the notification method included in the acquired notification rule is “confirmation screen”, the user notification execution unit 13 sends the user status data to the user on the display unit (not shown) of the user notification device 1. Display confirmation screen for recognition. The user can recognize the user state data by viewing the confirmation screen.

  When the notification method included in the acquired notification rule is a “sound with pop-up confirmation screen”, the user notification execution unit 13 causes the display unit included in the user notification device 1 to make the user recognize the user state data. A confirmation screen is popped up and a sound is output from a speaker (not shown) of the user notification device 1. Since the pop-up display is a display method for displaying a confirmation screen for notification in a dedicated window, it is more easily noticed by the user than a normal display method. The user can recognize the user state data more easily than the notification by the “confirmation screen” by the sound emitted from the speaker and the pop-up display.

  When the notification method included in the acquired notification rule is “alarm ringing”, the user notification execution unit 13 outputs an alarm sound at a predetermined volume or higher from the speaker of the user notification device 1. If the user does not recognize these notifications even though the notifications on the “confirmation screen” and “sound pop-up confirmation screen” are executed, the user may be unconscious. Even in such a case, it is possible to make a person around the user recognize the state of the user by sounding the alarm sound at a predetermined volume or higher.

  When the notification method included in the acquired notification rule is “emergency transmission”, the user notification execution unit 13 transmits predetermined information to a predetermined destination. The predetermined destination is, for example, an emergency contact for emergency. The predetermined information is, for example, the location of the user. Such notification is performed by the user notification device, so that even if the user has lost consciousness or the surrounding people do not recognize the user's state, the emergency emergency contact information is informed of the user's location. It becomes possible.

  The user input reception unit 14 receives an input operation indicating a response from the user, and determines whether an input operation is received within a reaction period included in the notification rule. When an input operation is received within the reaction period, the user input reception unit 14 sends data indicating that the input operation has been received to the data transmission unit 15. On the other hand, when the input operation is not received within the reaction period, the user input receiving unit 14 sends data indicating that the input operation has not been received to the notification method determining unit 12.

  The data transmission unit 15 transmits user status data to the data management server 2 together with data indicating normality / abnormality of measurement values and data indicating that an input operation has been accepted.

  Functionally, the data management server 2 includes a data receiving unit 20, a data storage unit 21, an alert determination unit 22, an alert display unit 23, and a storage table 24.

  The data receiving unit 20 receives user status data from the user notification device 1 together with data indicating normality / abnormality of measured values and data indicating that an input operation has been received. These data are transmitted from the data transmission unit 15 of the user notification device 1. The data receiving unit 20 sends these data to the data storage unit 21.

  The data storage unit 21 acquires user status data sent from the data reception unit 20, data indicating normality / abnormality of measurement values, and data indicating that an input operation has been accepted, and stores these data in the storage TBL 24 Let FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically showing the accumulation TBL 24. The storage TBL 24 stores a user ID, data type, measurement value, measurement date / time, and state, which are information for identifying the user, in association with each other.

  The alert determination unit 22 determines whether or not the data received by the data reception unit 20 includes data indicating an abnormality in the measurement value. When the data indicating the abnormality of the measurement value is included in the received data, the alert determination unit 22 causes the alert display unit 23 to display that effect.

  The alert display unit 23 displays that the data received by the data receiving unit 20 includes data indicating abnormality of the measurement value, and is configured by a display such as a display, for example.

  The external measuring device 3 functionally includes a sensor 30, a data measuring unit 31, and a data transmitting unit 32. The external measuring device 3 is, for example, a sphygmomanometer, a pulse meter, a pedometer or the like.

  The sensor 30 detects the state of the user and detects, for example, the user's blood pressure, pulse, or the number of steps. Further, for example, the sensor 30 is configured by a three-axis acceleration sensor, so that a user's fall can be detected.

  The data measuring unit 31 measures or acquires the user state detected by the sensor 30. The data measurement unit 31 measures, for example, the user's systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, the number of pulses per unit time, the number of steps taken in one day, and the like, and acquires these measurement results as user state data. In addition, the data measurement unit 31 acquires, for example, that the user has fallen as user state data. The user status data includes a measured data type, a measured value, and a measurement date / time.

  The data transmission unit 32 transmits the acquired user status data to the user notification device 1.

  In the present embodiment, the external measurement device 3 is a device configured separately from the user notification device 1, but the user notification device 1 and the external measurement device 3 are configured integrally as a mobile terminal device. It is good as well.

  Next, the operation of the user notification device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a procedure in which the user notification device executes notification.

  First, the user status data acquisition unit 10 acquires user status data from the external measurement device 3 (S701).

  The abnormal value detection unit 11 determines normality / abnormality of the measurement value by comparing the measurement value included in the user state data with the standard data stored in the standard data TBL17 (S702). For example, when the user status data acquisition unit acquires user status data as shown in FIG. 3, the measurement value “152” of the data type “high blood pressure” included in the user status data is the data type in the standard data TBL17. Since it does not correspond to the standard data “140 mmhg or less” associated with “maximum blood pressure”, the abnormal value detection unit 11 determines that the measured value is abnormal.

  When the abnormal value detection unit 11 determines that the measurement value included in the user state data is abnormal (S703), the notification method determination unit 12 refers to the notification rule TBL18, and determines the user state data and the reaction stage 18a. When it is determined that there is a notification rule, the notification rule is extracted (S704). When the notification is made for the first time based on the user status data, the notification rule associated with the reaction stage 18a “0” is extracted. For example, when the user status data acquisition unit 10 acquires user status data as shown in FIG. 3, the measured value “152” of the data type “high blood pressure” included in the user status data is a record of the notification rule TBL18. 18b, the notification method determination unit 12 determines that there is a notification rule corresponding to the acquired user state data, and the notification rule “sound with pop-up” associated with the reaction stage “0” of the record 18b. "Confirmation screen, 7 minutes" is extracted.

  When the notification method determination unit 12 determines that the notification rule corresponding to the user state data and the reaction stage is stored in the notification rule TBL 18 (S705), the user notification execution unit 13 sets the extracted notification rule to the notification rule. Based on this, a notification is executed (S706). When “sound presence popup confirmation screen, 7 minutes” is extracted as the notification rule, the user notification execution unit 13 causes the display unit of the user notification device 1 to make the user recognize the user status data. Is displayed as a pop-up, and a sound for notifying the user of the notification is output from a speaker included in the user notification device 1.

  When the user input reception unit 14 does not receive an input operation for the notification executed by the user notification execution unit 13 within the reaction period (S707, S708), the notification method determination unit 12 increases the reaction stage 18a by one stage. (S709). For example, when the reaction stage 18a is “0”, the reaction stage 18a is updated to “1”.

  When the reaction stage 18a is updated, the notification method determination unit 12 refers to the notification rule TBL18 again to determine the presence / absence of the notification rule corresponding to the user state data and the reaction stage 18a, and there is a notification rule. If it is determined, the notification rule is extracted (S704). For example, when the data type included in the user state data is “high blood pressure”, the measurement value is “152”, and the reaction stage 18a is updated to “1”, the notification method determination unit 12 acquires The notification rule “alarm ringing, 7 minutes” associated with the reaction stage “1” is extracted from the record 18b of the notification rule TBL18. Thereafter, the procedure of steps S704 to S709 is repeated.

  When the abnormal value detection unit 11 determines that the measurement value included in the user state data is not abnormal (S703), the notification method determination unit 12 sets the notification rule corresponding to the user state data and the reaction stage in the notification rule TBL18. When it is determined that it is not stored (S705) and when the user input receiving unit 14 receives an input operation for the notification executed by the user notification executing unit 13 (S707), the data transmitting unit 15 User status data is transmitted to the data management server 2 together with data indicating normality / abnormality and data indicating that an input operation has been accepted (S710).

  Then, an effect | action and effect of the user notification apparatus 1 which concern on this embodiment are demonstrated. In the user notification device 1 according to the present embodiment, the notification method determination unit 12 can select a notification rule according to the state of the user, and the user notification execution unit 13 can execute a notification based on the notification rule. . In addition, when the user input receiving unit 14 does not receive an input operation indicating a user response to the notification, the notification method determining unit 12 defines a notification method that is more easily recognized by the notification destination than the executed notification. The notification rule is selected, and the user notification execution unit 13 can perform notification again based on the selected notification rule. Thus, even when the user does not recognize the notification made according to the user's state, the notification is performed again by a notification method that makes it easy for the notification destination to recognize. It becomes possible to make a person recognize.

  Further, in the user notification device 1 according to the present embodiment, when the user does not recognize a notification such as the display of a “confirmation screen” that is recognized visually, the notification method determination unit 12 also recognizes by hearing. The notification rule which prescribes | regulates the notification method "sound presence pop-up confirmation screen" to be selected is selected, and the user notification execution part 13 can perform notification based on this notification rule. Thereby, even when the user does not recognize the notification executed first, the notification using a sound that is more easily recognized is performed, so that the user's state or a person other than the user can be recognized. It becomes possible.

  In the user notification device 1 according to the present embodiment, the notification rule TBL 18 stores a notification rule that defines a notification method “emergency call” for notifying a predetermined notification destination via a communication network. The execution unit 13 can notify a predetermined notification destination via a communication network. For this reason, even if the user or a person around the user does not recognize the notification and the input operation in response to the notification is not performed, the user's state can be recognized by the predetermined notification destination. It becomes.

  Further, in the user notification device 1 according to the present embodiment, the notification rule TBL 18 includes “confirmation screen”, “sound pop-up confirmation screen”, “alarm ringing”, and “emergency transmission” as notification methods defined by the notification rule. At least two of them. For this reason, even when the notification is not recognized and the input operation in response to the notification is not performed, the user notification execution unit 13 again increases the degree of ease of recognizing the notification step by step. Can be notified. Thereby, it becomes possible to make a user or a person other than this user recognize a user's state more reliably.

  In the user notification device 1 according to the present embodiment, the data transmission unit 15 transmits user status data and data including information regarding the presence / absence of an input operation to the data management server 2 via the network. For this reason, it becomes possible to accumulate | store the log | history of input operation according to the notification based on the acquired user status data and this user status data in accumulation | storage TBL24 of the data management server 2. FIG. Thereby, it becomes possible to make the data management server 2 manage the information regarding the state of each user collectively.
