Etc., detect microbody movement abnormalities.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of a control unit of the detection unit.

The control unit 11 functions as an information acquisition unit 111, an event determination unit 112, an event notification unit 113, a video processing unit 114, a call processing unit 115, and a video distribution unit 116 by reading a program and executing processing. At least a part of the function of the control unit 11 may be realized by an embedded processing circuit.

The information acquisition unit 111 acquires information about the target person 60. The information acquisition unit 111 acquires, for example, an image of the target person 60 taken by the photographing unit 14, that is, an image of the location space of the target person 60. Further, the information acquisition unit 111 acquires, for example, sound information regarding the target person 60 input to the sound input / output unit 15, that is, sound information generated in the location space of the target person 60. In addition, the information acquisition unit 111 acquires information on the care call by the subject 60 input to the care call input unit 16 and information on the micro-movement abnormality in the subject 60 detected by the body movement sensor. You may do it.

The event determination unit 112 determines whether or not a predetermined event related to the target person 60 has occurred. The event determination unit 112 detects the movement of the target person 60 based on, for example, the image about the target person 60 acquired by the information acquisition unit 111, and based on the movement of the target person 60, a predetermined event regarding the target person 60. Is determined whether or not has occurred. The predetermined event includes, for example, a preset predetermined action in the subject 60. The predetermined actions of the subject 60 include, for example, the actions of "getting up" when the subject 60 gets up from the bed, "getting out of bed" when leaving the bed, "falling" when falling off the bed, and "falling" when the subject 60 falls on the floor or the like. Including.

For example, the event determination unit 112 extracts a human area of the target person 60 in the image of the target person 60 acquired by the information acquisition unit 111, and a predetermined event occurs based on the time change of the extracted human area. Judge whether or not. The human area is, for example, an area within the outline of a person or a rectangular area circumscribing the outline of a person. The human area may be extracted by the time difference method that extracts the difference between the images whose shooting times are before and after, or may be extracted by the background difference method that extracts the difference between the shot image and the background image. Since the size of the human area is considered to be equal to or larger than the predetermined first size and smaller than or equal to the predetermined second size, the event determination unit 112 has the first size and the first size set in advance based on a plurality of samples. The human area may be extracted based on the second size. That is, the event determination unit 112 extracts the area of the first size or more and the second size or less from the candidate areas of the human area as the human area, and extracts the area less than the first size or more than the second size. It does not have to be extracted as a human area.

Further, the event determination unit 112 may extract the head region of the subject 60 from the image and determine whether or not a predetermined event has occurred based on the time change of the extracted head region. The head region is, for example, a region within the contour of the head or a rectangular region circumscribing the contour of the head. The head region may be extracted by a circular or elliptical Hough transform, pattern matching using a head model prepared in advance, a neural network learned for detecting the head region, or the like. The head region may be extracted as a substantially circular region having a relatively high reflectance to near infrared rays.

More specifically, the first threshold Th1 for distinguishing between (1) the size of the bed location area and (2) the size of the head region in the lying posture and the size of the head region in the sitting posture within the location area of the bed. , (3) Second threshold Th2 for identifying the size of the head area in the standing posture in the living room excluding the area where the bed is located, (4) The head in the lying posture in the room excluding the area where the bed is located It is assumed that the information regarding the third threshold Th3 and the like for identifying the size of the region is stored in the storage unit 12 in advance. In the event determination unit 112, for example, the position of the head region is within the location region of the bed, and the size of the head region changes from the size of the lying posture to the size of the sitting posture based on the first threshold Th1. If so, it is determined that a wake-up event has occurred. Further, in the event determination unit 112, for example, when the position of the head region changes from the inside of the bed location region to the outside of the bed location region, the size of the head region is based on the second threshold Th2. When the size changes from the size of the head to the size of the standing posture, it is determined that the event of getting out of bed has occurred. Further, in the event determination unit 112, for example, when the position of the head region changes from the inside of the bed location region to the outside of the bed location region, the size of the head region is based on the third threshold value Th3. When the size changes from the size of the head to the size of the lying posture, it is determined that a fall event has occurred. Further, in the event determination unit 112, for example, the position of the head region is in the living room excluding the area where the bed is located, and the size of the head region is in a lying posture from a certain size based on the third threshold value Th3. If it changes in size, it is determined that a fall event has occurred.

In addition, the predetermined event may further include a care call by the subject 60, a microdynamic abnormality in the subject 60, and the like. In this case, the event determination unit 112 may further determine whether or not an event such as a care call or microbody movement abnormality has occurred as a predetermined event based on the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 111.

When the event determination unit 112 determines that a predetermined event has occurred, the event notification unit 113 notifies the server 20 of the occurrence of the predetermined event. More specifically, the event notification unit 113 sends the first event notification including the sensor ID of the own device (detection unit 10) and the event information which is the information indicating the generated event to the server via the communication unit 13. Send to 20. The event information is, for example, information about a predetermined event. When the event determination unit 112 determines that a predetermined action has occurred in the target person 60, the event notification unit 113 further transfers the image (at least one of the still image and the moving image) used for the determination to the server 20. You may send it.

The moving image processing unit 114 transmits the moving image shot by the shooting unit 14 and acquired by the information acquisition unit 111 to the server 20. More specifically, the moving image processing unit 114 sequentially generates a moving image signal containing the moving image by a predetermined number of frames, and sequentially transmits the moving image signal to the server 20 together with the sensor ID of the own device. When the event determination unit 112 determines that a predetermined event has occurred, the video processing unit 114 sends a video for a predetermined first time (for example, several seconds to several minutes, etc.) including the event occurrence time to the server. It may be transmitted to 20. That is, the moving image processing unit 114 temporarily stores the moving image before the event occurrence time and the moving image after the event occurrence time, which are temporarily stored in the storage unit 12, as the moving image for the predetermined first hour on the server 20. May be sent to. Alternatively, the moving image processing unit 114 may constantly transmit the moving image to the server 20. Further, the moving image processing unit 114 may instruct the server 20 to store the transmitted moving image in the storage unit 22 of the server 20.

The call processing unit 115 controls the sound input / output unit 15 to enable a voice call between the detection unit 10 and the fixed terminal 30 or the mobile terminal 40. The call processing unit 115 enables voice communication with the fixed terminal 30 or the mobile terminal 40 by, for example, VoIP (VoIP over Internet Protocol) via the communication unit 13.

The moving image distribution unit 116 streams and distributes a moving image (for example, a live image) shot by the shooting unit 14 and acquired by the information acquisition unit 111 to the fixed terminal 30 or the mobile terminal 40. For example, when the fixed terminal 30 or the mobile terminal 40 requests the video distribution, the video distribution unit 116 distributes the video to the requested fixed terminal 30 or the mobile terminal 40 via the communication unit 13.
