Embodiment 1. FIG.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a first embodiment (Embodiment 1) of a jacket apparatus according to the present invention. With reference to FIG. 1, the structure of the jacket apparatus of 1st Embodiment is demonstrated. In each embodiment of the present invention, a child is taken as an example of a person to be protected.

  The jacket device 1 includes a mobile phone 2, a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver 3, a body temperature sensor 4, a heart sound sensor 5, an ambient temperature sensor 6, an impact sensor 7, a water sensor 8, a speaker 9, a switch 10, a control unit 11, A storage battery 12 and a storage unit 13 are included. In this embodiment, the child wears the jacket device 1.

  The mobile phone 2 is a mobile communication terminal that performs communication via a mobile phone network. Instead of the mobile phone, a satellite mobile phone that performs communication via a communication satellite telephone network may be provided. The GPS receiver 3 measures the current position based on radio waves received from GPS satellites. The GPS receiver 3 acquires information (position information) about the current position that has been measured, and notifies the control unit 11 of the information. The body temperature sensor 4 measures the body temperature of the child. The heart sound sensor 5 detects the heart sound of the child and measures the heart rate. The ambient temperature sensor 6 measures the ambient temperature (air temperature).

  The impact sensor 7 detects an impact applied to the jacket apparatus 1. For example, a plurality of impact sensors 7 are provided in a portion where it is estimated that there is a high possibility of receiving an impact on the outer surface of the jacket device 1. The water sensor 8 is a water pressure sensor, for example, and detects whether or not the jacket device 1 is submerged. For example, the water sensor 8 is provided in a portion where it is highly possible to detect submergence on the outer surface of the jacket device 1. The speaker 9 sounds an alarm sound and a sound under the control of the control unit 11. The switch 10 is provided at a position where a child wearing the jacket device 1 can operate. Here, the switch 10 is a switch to be pressed.

  The control unit 11 controls each component in the jacket apparatus 1. The control unit 11 acquires the detection result of each sensor. The control unit 11 is a CPU controlled by a program, for example. The storage battery 12 supplies power to each component of the jacket device 1.

  The storage unit 13 stores a set threshold value, measured data, a transmission destination, and the like. The destination is set in advance. For example, one or more information processing terminals on a guardian side such as a parent, a school, or a security company. The call destination can be changed by an operation on the guardian side. The information processing terminal on the guardian side is a general information processing terminal such as a mobile phone or a personal computer.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of the threshold value. In the first embodiment, the values measured by the body temperature sensor 4, the heart sound sensor 5, and the ambient temperature sensor 6 are compared with the threshold values shown in FIG. Each threshold value is stored in the storage unit 13 in advance. The control unit 11 compares the body temperature measured by the body temperature sensor 4 with the body temperature A that is the lower limit threshold (lower limit value) and the body temperature B that is the upper limit threshold (upper limit value). That is, body temperature is determined. The control unit 11 compares the heart rate measured by the heart sound sensor 5 with a heart rate C that is a lower limit threshold (lower limit value) and a heart rate D that is an upper limit threshold (upper limit value). That is, the heart rate is determined. The control unit 11 compares the ambient temperature measured by the ambient temperature sensor 6 with the Celsius E that is the lower limit threshold (lower limit value) and the Celsius F that is the upper limit threshold (upper limit value). That is, the ambient temperature is determined. The threshold shown in FIG. 2 is a value that can be changed by an operation from the mobile phone 2, the information processing terminal on the guardian side, or both.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an operation in which the jacket apparatus illustrated in FIG. 1 acquires and determines position information.

  When the GPS receiving device 3 measures the current position based on the radio wave received from the GPS satellite, the control unit 11 acquires information on the measured current position (position information) (step S31). In the storage unit 13, a time interval or a distance interval for transmitting position information is set and stored. For example, when the time interval is set to 10 minutes, the control unit 11 transmits the position information from the mobile phone 2 to the transmission destination stored in the storage unit 13 every 10 minutes. The mobile phone 2 transmits the transmission time and the position information at the time of transmission to the transmission destination. For example, when the distance interval is set to 500 meters, the control unit 11 transmits the position information from the mobile phone 2 every time the child moves 500 meters. The control unit 11 may determine the moving distance based on a linear distance from the position information at the time of the previous transmission, or may determine the displacement calculated every time the position information is acquired from the GPS receiver 3 as a cumulative value. Also good. The storage unit 13 stores time and position information transmitted last time.

  The control unit 11 refers to the information stored in the storage unit 13, and when the time interval for transmitting the position information is set, the set time from the previous transmission time to the present time is set. It is determined whether or not it has elapsed (step S32). The control unit 11 can acquire the current time from a time measuring unit (not shown). When the set time has not elapsed, the control unit 11 refers to the information stored in the storage unit 13 and is transmitted last time when the distance interval for transmitting the position information is set. It is determined whether or not the moving distance from the time to the present has reached the set distance (step S33).

  When it is determined in step S32 that the set time has elapsed, or when the movement distance has reached the set distance in step S33, the control unit 11 removes from the mobile phone 2. The position information is transmitted to the transmission destination stored in the storage unit 13 (step S34).

  In such a jacket device, the child's position information is transmitted every time the set time elapses and every time the moving distance reaches the set distance. Even if you move beyond, you can know exactly where your child is.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an operation in which the jacket device shown in FIG. 1 determines the body temperature, heart rate, and ambient temperature of the person to be protected.

  As the determination of the body temperature, the control unit 11 compares the temperature measured by the body temperature sensor 4 with the body temperature A and the body temperature B, which are threshold values stored in the storage unit 13 (step S41). For example, when the temperature measured by the body temperature sensor 4 is equal to or higher than the body temperature A and lower than the body temperature B, the control unit 11 determines that the body temperature is within the allowable range.

  Further, the control unit 11 compares the heart rate measured by the heart sound sensor 5 with the heart rate C and the heart rate D, which are threshold values stored in the storage unit 13 (step S42). For example, when the heart rate measured by the heart sound sensor 5 is equal to or higher than the heart rate C and lower than the heart rate D, the control unit 11 determines that the heart rate is within an allowable range.

  In the determination of the ambient temperature, the control unit 11 compares the temperature measured by the ambient temperature sensor 6 with the Celsius E and Celsius F, which are threshold values stored in the storage unit 13 (Step S43). For example, when the temperature measured by the ambient temperature sensor 6 is equal to or higher than Celsius E and lower than Celsius F, the control unit 11 determines that the ambient temperature is within the allowable range.

  In step S41, when the temperature measured by the body temperature sensor 4 is lower than the body temperature A or higher than the body temperature B, the control unit 11 determines that the body temperature is out of the allowable range, and stores the storage unit 13 from the mobile phone 2. Call the destination stored in. The mobile phone 2 transmits the measured value of the sensor, the transmission time, the position information at the time of transmission, and the like to the transmission destination. In step S42, when the heart rate measured by the heart sound sensor 5 is less than the heart rate C or more than the heart rate D, the control unit 11 determines that the heart rate exceeds the allowable range, and the mobile phone 2 To the destination stored in the storage unit 13. The mobile phone 2 transmits the measured value of the sensor, the transmission time, the position information at the time of transmission, and the like to the transmission destination. In step S43, when the temperature measured by the ambient temperature sensor 6 is less than Celsius E or greater than or equal to Celsius F, the control unit 11 determines that the ambient temperature exceeds the allowable range, and stores it from the mobile phone 2. The call is sent to the destination stored in the unit 13 (step S44). The mobile phone 2 transmits the measured value of the sensor, the transmission time, the position information at the time of transmission, and the like to the transmission destination.

  In such a jacket device, the measured temperature of the child, the heart rate of the child, and the ambient temperature are compared with the threshold value, and if it is out of the range from the lower limit value to the upper limit value, the fact is transmitted. Therefore, even if the child does not perform any operation, it is possible to grasp the situation such as whether the physical condition of the child is not modulated or whether the temperature is changing rapidly. For example, it can be used for estimating or judging the surrounding environment when searching for a child.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an operation in which the jacket device shown in FIG. 1 determines the presence or absence of impact and submersion.

  The control unit 11 determines whether or not the impact sensor 7 has detected that an impact has been applied to the jacket apparatus 1 (step S51). Moreover, the control part 11 determines whether the water sensor 8 detected that the jacket apparatus 1 was submerged (step S52).

  When the impact sensor 7 detects an impact in step S51, or when the water sensor 8 detects submersion in step S52, the control unit 11 changes the destination stored in the storage unit 13 from the mobile phone 2. A call is made (step S53). The cellular phone 2 transmits the detection content of the sensor, the transmission time, the position information at the time of transmission, and the like to the transmission destination.

  In such a jacket device, by detecting an impact or submergence on the jacket device 1 worn by the child, for example, an abnormal situation such as an impact due to a collision or a submergence due to falling into a groove has occurred in the child. Can be sensed.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an operation performed by the jacket device when predetermined information is transmitted to the mobile phone of the jacket device shown in FIG.

  The mobile phone 2 automatically receives a call from an information processing terminal on the guardian's side such as a parent, a school, or a security company, and receives predetermined information. It is assumed that the predetermined information includes, for example, a code indicating that “speak the speaker” and audio data. The control unit 11 acquires information (code and audio data) received by the mobile phone 2 (step S61).

  The control unit 11 determines whether or not the acquired information includes a code indicating ringing of the speaker (step S62). When the acquired information includes a code indicating the sounding of the speaker, the control unit 11 outputs an alarm sound from the speaker 9 (step S64). When the acquired information includes audio data, the control unit 11 outputs a sound corresponding to the audio data from the speaker 9 following the alarm sound.

  Note that the predetermined information transmitted from the information processing terminal on the guardian side may include only audio data. In that case, only the sound corresponding to the sound data is output without outputting the alarm sound from the speaker 9. In addition, after the mobile phone 2 automatically receives a call and receives the code indicating “ring the speaker” transmitted from the information processing terminal on the guardian side, the information processing terminal on the guardian side further performs voice Data may be transmitted to the mobile phone 2. In this case, the control unit 11 outputs an alarm sound from the speaker 9 and outputs a sound corresponding to the sound data after the mobile phone 2 receives the sound data. Moreover, the control part 11 may output the audio | voice according to a code | cord from the speaker 9, if a predetermined code is received.

  Further, the control unit 11 proceeds to determination of switch operation. The control unit 11 determines whether or not the switch 10 has been pressed (step S63). If the switch 10 has been pressed, the control unit 11 outputs an alarm sound from the speaker 9 (step S64). In addition, the control unit 11 may make a call from the mobile phone 2 to a destination registered in advance in the storage unit 13. The cellular phone 2 transmits to the destination a switch is pressed, a transmission time, position information at the time of transmission, and the like. When the switch 10 is not pressed, the control unit 11 does nothing.

  In such a jacket device, an alarm sound or sound can be output by an operation from the information processing terminal on the guardian's side, so if the child is in an abnormal situation, it will inform the surroundings and assist in the rescue. You can. In addition, since the child can sound an alarm sound or make a call to the guardian by operating its own switch, if the child is in an abnormal situation, the child or the guardian will be notified of the abnormal situation. I can inform you.

  Note that when a call is sent from the mobile phone 2 to the information processing terminal on the guardian side, the mobile phone 2 transmits, for example, an e-mail, text data, or a URL, and notifies the destination of the information. At the destination, the content notified from the mobile phone 2 can be displayed on the display unit of the information processing terminal, and the content notified by the guardian can be determined.

The solar cell 20 is also an optical sensor that detects the presence or absence of ambient light.

  The control part 11 determines whether the solar cell 20 is detecting ambient light. For example, when the solar cell 20 has not detected ambient light for a certain period of time, the control unit 11 transmits from the mobile phone 2 to a destination registered in advance in the storage unit 13. The mobile phone 2 transmits, to the transmission destination, the fact that the solar battery 20 has not detected light for a certain period of time, the transmission time, the position information at the time of transmission, and the like.

  In such a jacket device, for example, it can be detected that a child has entered a room where light is blocked. In addition, the situation of the child can be grasped even when the child is trapped in a closed space at the time of the disaster. Moreover, since the electric power which the solar cell converted is supplied to a storage battery, the time which can use a jacket apparatus can be lengthened.
