[Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the security system 1 according to the present embodiment. The security system 1 is a system that detects an intruder into the house 3 to be monitored (intrusion monitoring) and determines a change in the health condition of the resident J (the person to be watched over) in the house 3.

The communication network 2 includes the Internet, a fixed telephone network, a mobile communication network that provides communication services such as voice communication and data communication, and the like. The controller 10 installed in the residence 3 and the center device 20 installed in the monitoring center 4 are connected to the communication network 2.

The controller 10 is a device that detects an intruder into the house 3 and notifies the center device 20 of an abnormality, is installed in the house 3 and is connected to the communication network 2. The controller 10 may be connected to the communication network 2 via a LAN (Local Area Network) constructed in the residence 3. The controller 10 has a plurality of modes as security modes in order to guard the residence 3, and operates in the security mode set by the operation of the resident J among these security modes. Further, the controller 10 transmits mode information indicating the set mode to the center device 20 via the communication network 2. The security mode will be described later. Further, the controller 10 is connected to a plurality of sensors installed outdoors and outdoors of the house 3, and when it detects an intruder into the house 3 by a signal output by the sensors, it determines that an abnormality has occurred. When the controller 10 determines that an abnormality has occurred, the controller 10 transmits an abnormality signal notifying the occurrence of an intrusion abnormality to the center device 20 via the communication network 2. The abnormality signal transmitted by the controller 10 includes an identification number that identifies the controller 10. The connection of the controller 10 to the communication network 2 is not limited to the wired connection, and may be wirelessly connected.

The monitoring center 4 is a facility operated by a business operator that provides a security service for the residence 3. A center device 20 is installed in the monitoring center 4. The center device 20 communicates with the controller 10 via the communication network 2 and receives an abnormal signal transmitted from the controller 10. Upon receiving the abnormal signal, the center device 20 displays information on the residence 3 and the resident J, which are the targets of the crime prevention service, and prompts the controller to confirm with the resident J and deal with the coping staff who rush to the dwelling 3. Further, the center device 20 determines the change in the health condition of the resident J based on the information indicating the security mode, and sends a message according to the determination result to a predetermined destination, for example, a child of the resident J. Send to the e-mail address of relatives (hereinafter referred to as "watchers") or resident J himself. The method of notifying this message is not limited to e-mail, and for example, the message may be notified via an application running on a mobile terminal such as a smartphone. Further, a message may be transmitted to the controller 10 to reproduce the message directly from the speaker of the controller 10.

(Configuration of controller 10)
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the controller 10. The storage unit 102 has a non-volatile memory, and stores various information such as a set security mode and an authentication code required for the security mode setting operation. The display unit 103 has a liquid crystal display and an LED, and displays a set security mode, the status of the outdoor sensor 11 and the indoor sensor 12, the installation location of the outdoor sensor 11 and the indoor sensor 12, and the like. The operation unit 104 has a button for operating the controller 10, a button for setting a security mode, and a reading means for reading an authentication code from an authentication medium such as an IC card possessed by the resident J. At least a part of the operation unit 104 may be configured by a touch panel display common to the display unit 103. The communication unit 105 is a communication interface that communicates with the center device 20 via the communication network 2. The ringing unit 106 has a speaker, and emits a message, for example, when there is a sound notifying the occurrence of an abnormality or a change in the health condition of the resident J. The setting unit 13 is a device having a function corresponding to an operation unit 104 for setting a security mode at a place away from the controller 10, such as when going out or returning home, and is installed, for example, at the entrance of a residence 3.

The interface 107 is an interface to which a plurality of outdoor sensors 11 and a plurality of indoor sensors 12 for detecting an intruder into the house 3 are connected. The connection between the interface 107 and the outdoor sensor 11 and the connection between the interface 107 and the indoor sensor 12 are not limited to wired connection, and may be wirelessly connected.

The outdoor sensor 11 and the indoor sensor 12 are sensors that detect an intruder into the house 3. The outdoor sensor 11 is installed outdoors in the dwelling 3, and the indoor sensor 12 is installed indoors in the dwelling 3. The outdoor sensor 11 and the indoor sensor 12 are installed in a place where an intruder may invade. The places where an intruder may invade are, for example, the outdoor garden or gate of the dwelling 3, the opening such as the entrance door or the window in the dwelling 3, the flow line part such as the passage in the dwelling 3, or the living room. is there. Sensors installed in entrance doors, windows, gates, etc. are sensors that detect the opening of open / close bodies such as doors and windows, and are, for example, sensors that detect changes in a magnetic field to detect the opening of doors. Sensors installed in passages and living rooms are sensors that detect the presence of a person based on a physical quantity input from a predetermined direction. For example, a sensor that detects the presence of a person by fluctuations in heat rays, or a reflected wave of ultrasonic waves. These include a sensor that detects the presence of a person due to a change, a sensor that detects the presence of a person from an input image, and a sensor that detects the presence of a person by blocking the incident light from the floodlight. Each sensor outputs a detection signal when the opening / closing body is opened or the presence of a person is detected. It should be noted that the outdoor sensor 11 may not be used, and the intrusion monitoring may be performed only by the indoor sensor 12.

The control unit 101 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The control unit 101 executes the program stored in the ROM. In the control unit 101 that executes the program, the setting means 1001 and the information transmitting means 1002 are realized. The control unit 101 that executes the program controls each connected unit and executes various processes.

The setting means 1001 switches and sets a plurality of security modes according to the operation of the resident J. In the present embodiment, the plurality of security modes include a release mode, a home monitoring mode, a partial set mode, and an outing mode. These security modes have different monitoring areas from each other. At least switching from the outing mode to the release mode requires authentication of the operator, and the setting means 1001 collates the authentication code read from the authentication medium with the registration information of the storage unit 102 in accordance with the switching operation, and collates and matches. Set to release mode. When the setting means 1001 sets the security mode, mode information indicating the set security mode is supplied to the information transmitting means 1002.

The release mode is a mode set when the resident J is present in the residence 3, and is set, for example, when it is not necessary to monitor an intruder. When Resident J sets the security mode to the release mode, the intruder is not notified. Specifically, when the resident J sets the security mode to the release mode, the intruder is not monitored, and even if the outdoor sensor 11 or the indoor sensor 12 outputs a detection signal, an abnormal signal regarding the intruder is obtained. Is not sent.

The home monitoring mode is a mode set when the resident J is in the residence 3, and is set, for example, when the resident J goes to bed. In the home monitoring mode, at least the outer peripheral area of the residence 3 is set as the monitoring area, but the activity area of the resident J in the residence 3 is excluded from the monitoring area. Further, in the home monitoring mode, in addition to the outer peripheral area, the internal area in the residence 3 excluding the activity area of the resident J may be set as the monitoring area. That is, in the home monitoring mode, intrusion monitoring is performed with a part of the security target as a monitoring area. Specifically, when the resident J sets the security mode to the home monitoring mode, some monitoring areas such as the entrance door, the window, the gate, and the outside of the residence 3 in order to detect the intrusion into the residence 3 from the outside ( When the outdoor sensor 11 installed in the outer peripheral area or the indoor sensor 12 installed in the inner area other than the activity area of the resident J in the residence 3 outputs a detection signal, an abnormal signal regarding an intruder is output. Is transmitted to the center device 20. In the home monitoring mode, intrusion monitoring is not performed by the indoor sensor 12 installed in the flow line part such as a passage in the house 3 or the internal area such as the living room, the detection signal is ignored, and the indoor sensor installed in the internal area is ignored. When 12 outputs the detection signal, the abnormal signal regarding the intruder is not transmitted.

In the state where the home monitoring mode is set, when the resident J opens the window or the front door to go out, the indoor sensor 12 detects it and the ringing unit 106 of the controller 10 rings. If the cancel operation is not performed within a certain period of time, an abnormal signal is transmitted to the monitoring center 4. Therefore, in the state where the home monitoring mode is set, the resident J cannot go out without transmitting an abnormal signal, and in the state where the home monitoring mode is set, the resident J is always in the house. Will be there.

Similar to the home monitoring mode, the partial set mode is a mode set when the resident J is in the residence 3, and is set, for example, when the resident J goes to bed. However, in the partial set mode, a part of the monitoring area in the home monitoring mode is regarded as the monitoring area. That is, in the partial set mode as well as the home monitoring mode, intrusion monitoring is performed with a part of the security target as a monitoring area. For example, the monitoring area is divided into a plurality of areas in advance, and in the partial set mode, the area designated by the resident J via the operation unit 104 is targeted for monitoring, and the corresponding outdoor sensor 11 and indoor sensor 12 output a detection signal. In some cases, an abnormal signal may be transmitted. More specifically, for example, when resident J goes to bed on the second floor in a two-story house 3, if the partial set mode is set and the first floor is designated as the monitoring target, the outdoor area installed in the outer peripheral area of the first floor is specified. When an indoor sensor 12 installed in an internal area other than the activity area of the resident J in the sensor 11 or the residence 3 outputs a detection signal, an abnormal signal regarding an intruder is transmitted to the center device 20. On the other hand, intrusion monitoring is not performed by the outdoor sensor 11 installed in the outer peripheral area on the second floor, the flow line portion such as the passage in the house 3, or the indoor sensor 12 installed in the internal area such as the living room, and the detection signal is ignored. When the indoor sensors 12 installed in the outer peripheral area or the inner area of the second floor output the detection signal, the abnormal signal regarding the intruder is not transmitted. Therefore, for example, even if the resident J opens the window on the second floor, the abnormal signal regarding the intruder is not transmitted.

The outing mode is a mode set when the resident J goes out and the residence 3 is unmanned. The control unit 101 monitors the entire monitoring area including the internal area and the outer peripheral area, and when any of the outdoor sensors 11 or the indoor sensor 12 outputs a detection signal, the control unit 101 transmits an abnormal signal regarding an intruder to the center device 20. That is, in the outing mode, intrusion monitoring is performed with the entire area to be guarded as a monitoring area. When the outing mode is set, the sensor that monitors the exit route of the resident J starts detecting an intruder after a predetermined time has passed since the setting to the outing mode, and the resident goes out. It is preferable not to falsely detect J as an intruder.

If the resident J performs a mode change operation while in the house and the outing mode is set, the presence of a person is detected by the indoor sensor 12 installed inside the house and an abnormal signal is sent to the monitoring center 4. Since it is transmitted, it is not possible to set the outing mode without transmitting an abnormal signal to the monitoring center 4 while the resident J is in the residence.

The information transmitting means 1002 transmits mode information indicating the security mode after switching to the center device 20. The mode information transmitted by the information transmitting means 1002 includes an identification number for identifying the controller 10.

(Configuration of center device 20)
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the center device 20. The communication unit 205 is a communication interface that communicates via the communication network 2. The communication unit 205 receives the abnormal signal and mode information transmitted from the controller 10.

The storage unit 202 has a hard disk device, and stores an operation system program and an application program. Further, the storage unit 202 stores the history of the operation of switching the plurality of security modes by the resident J for each of the monitored residences 3 based on the mode information received by the communication unit 205. Further, as information about the resident J who receives the security service, the storage unit 202 includes a history of past abnormal signals, an address of the residence 3, an identification number of the controller 10, a name and telephone number of the resident J, an e-mail address, and a resident J. The information of the notification destination of the message such as the e-mail address and telephone number of the child who is the watcher of the message is linked and stored.

The control unit 201 has a CPU and a RAM. The control unit 201 executes the program stored in the storage unit 202. The control unit 201 that executed the program executes control of each connected unit and various processes. Further, in the control unit 201 that executes the program, the acquisition means 2001, the aggregation means 2002, the determination means 2003, and the transmission means 2004 are realized.

The acquisition means 2001 acquires the abnormal signal and the mode information received by the communication unit 205. The acquisition means 2001 creates an operation history 2005, which is a history of operations for switching the security mode of the resident J, based on the acquired mode information and the acquisition date and time of the mode information, and stores the operation history 2005 in the storage unit 202.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the operation history 2005. In the operation history 2005, the start date and time of the security mode, the end date and time of the security mode, and the set time, which is the time from the start to the end of the security mode, are associated with each security mode. The start date and time indicates the time when the operation of switching from another security mode to the target security mode is performed. For the start date and time, for example, the acquisition date and time of mode information indicating the target security mode may be used. The end date and time indicates the time when the operation of switching from the target security mode to another security mode is performed. For the end date and time, for example, the acquisition date and time of mode information indicating another security mode switched from the target security mode may be used. In the following explanation, the operation of switching from another security mode to the target security mode is set to the target security mode, and the operation of switching from the target security mode to another security mode is the operation of canceling the target security mode. In some cases.

The aggregation means 2002 aggregates the operation history 2005 stored in the storage unit 202. At this time, the operation history 2005 is aggregated so that the tendency of the operation of switching the security mode performed by the resident J, for example, can be grasped. For example, in the operation history 2005, the number of times the operation is performed for each predetermined period is totaled for each time when the operation is performed. Further, in this aggregation, the average time when the operation is performed may be calculated. The aggregated result of the operation history 2005 is supplied to the determination means 2003.

The determination means 2003 determines the change in the health condition of the resident J based on the change in the tendency of the operation indicated by the aggregation result of the operation history 2005. Specifically, the determination means 2003 compares the past aggregation result with the current aggregation result to detect a change in the operation tendency. The past tabulation results show the tendency of the operation of Resident J in normal times. On the other hand, the result of this aggregation shows the current tendency of the operation of Resident J. The change in the tendency of the operation may include at least one of a change in the number of times the operation is performed, a change in the time when the operation is performed, and a change in the distribution of the time when the operation is performed. For example, if the aggregation result indicates that there is a predetermined change in the distribution tendency of the number of times the operation is performed, the time when the operation is performed, or the time when the operation is performed, the change in health condition is determined. To. The "health condition" referred to here includes a physical condition and a mental condition. Changes in physical condition include the onset of certain illnesses, manifestation of physical decline, changes in physical condition such as injuries, and changes in mental state include depression, the onset of dementia, and Symptoms include frequent or persistent conditions such as depression, depression, anxiety and fear, and apathy. Further, among the four security modes, different types of changes in health status may be determined depending on the combination of the target security mode and the type of change in operation tendency. The determination result of the determination means 2003 is supplied to the transmission means 2004.

The transmission means 2004 transmits a message according to the determination result of the determination means 2003 to a predetermined destination. For example, the message may have content that conveys a change in health status, or may have content that suggests coping with the change in health status. In addition, this message may have different contents depending on the type of change in the health state determined by the determination means 2003. The message may be sent by using e-mail, or may be sent by using the message function of SNS (social networking service). The predetermined destination includes, for example, a destination related to the watcher and a destination related to the resident J. For example, the e-mail address of the watcher may be used as the destination related to the watcher. For the destination related to the resident J, for example, the e-mail address of the resident J or the communication address of the controller 10 may be used. Further, the destination of the message may be selected according to the type of change in the health condition determined by the determination means 2003.

(Operation example of the embodiment)
Next, in the present embodiment, an operation example when determining a change in the health condition of the resident J will be described. When the resident J performs an operation of switching the security mode using the setting unit 13 or the operation unit 104, the controller 10 switches the security mode by the setting means 1001 in response to this operation. Further, the controller 10 transmits mode information indicating the security mode after switching from the information transmitting means 1002 to the center device 20. The center device 20 receives the mode information transmitted from the controller 10 by the acquisition means 2001, creates an operation history 2005 based on the security mode indicated by the received mode information and the reception date and time of the mode information, and stores the storage unit 202. To memorize.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of a processing flow for determining and notifying a change in the health condition of the resident J. The process of FIG. 5 is executed at predetermined time intervals, for example, once a week or once a month. First, the aggregation means 2002 extracts a portion of the target period from the date when the process is executed to a predetermined time before from the operation history 2005 stored in the storage unit 202, and aggregates the extracted portion (step S11). For example, the counting means 2002 uses the operation history 2005 to count the number of times the operation of setting the target security mode and the operation of canceling the target security mode are performed for each time when those operations are performed. In addition, the aggregation means 2002 calculates the average time when these operations are performed. The total result of the operation history 2005 is stored in the storage unit 202. In addition, the storage unit 202 also stores the aggregation result of the period before the target period. Subsequently, the determination means 2003 determines whether or not there is a change in the health condition of the resident J based on the change in the operation tendency of the resident J indicated by the aggregation result of the operation history 2005 (step S12). When it is determined that there is no change in the health condition of the resident J (step S12: NO), this process ends. On the other hand, when it is determined that there is a change in the health condition of the resident J (step S12: YES), the transmission means 2004 transmits a message according to the change in the health condition to a predetermined destination (step S13). Here, it is assumed that the e-mail address of the watcher of Resident J is registered as the destination of the message. For example, when sending a message to a destination related to the watcher, the identification number included in the mode information related to the operation history 2005 is specified, and the electronic of the watcher of the resident J associated with the identification number of the specified controller 10. By reading the e-mail address from the storage unit 202, the destination of the message is acquired. Then, a message is sent to this destination. Note that this message may be generated in advance or may be generated each time.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the aggregation result of the operation history 2005. FIG. 6 shows the results of totaling the number of times the operation for setting the outing mode and the operation for canceling the outing mode were performed in each of the target period and the reference period for each time when those operations were performed. There is. In FIG. 6, the horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents the number of times. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the target period is one week from August 15 to August 21, and the reference period is one week from August 1 to August 7, which is two weeks before the target period. .. Here, it is assumed that the total number of times the operation for setting the outing mode is performed during the reference period is seven times. Further, it is assumed that the average start time of the outing mode is 12:00 and the average end time is 18:00 in the reference period. This indicates that in normal times, Resident J has a habit of going out around 12:00 and returning home around 18:00.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, the number of times the operation for setting the outing mode was performed was 7 times during the reference period, whereas the number of times the operation for setting the outing mode was performed was reduced to 4 times during the target period. ing. In this way, when the number of times the resident J performs the operation of setting the outing mode tends to decrease, it is considered that the frequency of the resident J going out is decreasing. In this case, in step S12 described above, for example, it is determined that the health condition of resident J is in a state that makes going out troublesome (step S12: YES), and in step S13 described above, the destination related to resident J is reached. On the other hand, a message may be sent that suggests going out, such as "Why don't you go out?"

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 6, the start time of the outing mode was concentrated around 12:00 in the reference period, whereas the start time of the outing mode was from 12:00 to 24:00 in the target period. It is in a dispersed state. The dispersed state here means that the dispersion value (or standard deviation) of the frequency distribution at the start time of the outing mode becomes large. In this way, when the distribution of the time when the operation for setting the outing mode is performed tends to change from a concentrated state to a dispersed state, it is considered that the life of the resident J is disturbed and irregular. In this case, in step S12 described above, for example, it is determined that the health condition of the resident J cannot lead a regular life (step S12: YES), and in step S13, the content corresponding to the change in the health condition is determined. The message may be sent to a given destination. Specifically, a message such as "Resident J's health condition is disturbed. Why don't you contact me?" Is sent to the address related to Resident J's watcher.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 6, in the reference period, the number of times the operation for setting the outing mode was performed was 0 in the midnight time zone from 22:00 to 5:00 the next day, whereas in the target period, it was midnight. The number of times the operation to set the outing mode is performed during the time zone is twice. In this way, when the operation of setting the outing mode is performed in the midnight time zone, it is considered that the resident J has come to go out in the midnight time zone without being able to sleep at night. In this case, in step S12 described above, for example, it is determined that the health condition of the resident J has become unable to sleep at night (step S12: YES), and in step S13, a message having contents corresponding to the change in the health condition is displayed. It may be sent to a predetermined destination. Specifically, a message such as "Recently, the number of people going out in the middle of the night is increasing. Why don't you contact me?" Is sent to the address related to the watcher of Resident J.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing another example of the aggregation result of the operation history 2005. FIG. 7 shows the results of totaling the number of times the operation for setting the partial set mode and the operation for canceling the partial set mode were performed in each of the target period and the reference period for each time when those operations were performed. Has been done. In FIG. 7, the horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents the number of times. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the target period is one month from September 1 to September 30, and the reference period is one from August 1 to August 31, which is the month immediately before the target period. It's a month. Here, it is assumed that the total number of times the operation for setting the partial set mode is performed during the reference period is 30 times. Further, it is assumed that the average start time of the partial set mode is 21:00 and the average end time is 6:00 the next day in the reference period. This indicates that in normal times, the resident J has a habit of setting the partial set mode at around 21:00, going to bed, waking up at around 6 o'clock the next day, and canceling the partial set mode.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, the operation for setting the partial set mode is performed 30 times during the reference period, whereas the operation for setting the partial set mode is performed 10 times during the target period. is decreasing. In this way, when the number of times the resident J performs the operation of setting the partial set mode tends to decrease, it is considered that the resident J often forgets to set the partial set mode before going to bed. In this case, in step S12 described above, it is determined that the health condition of resident J has become easy to forget (step S12: YES), and in step S13, the destination related to resident J is set to "partial set mode". A message may be sent that reminds you of the partial set mode settings, such as "Did you forget to do it?" Further, the message may be transmitted to the communication address of the controller 10 and the message may be reproduced by voice from the speaker of the controller 10. Further, if the problem is not improved even if the resident J is notified of the message a plurality of times, a message proposing a wait-and-see may be sent to the monitoring center 4 or the destination related to the resident J's watcher.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 7, the average end time of the partial set mode is 6 o'clock in the reference period, whereas the average end time of the partial set mode is delayed at 12 o'clock in the target period. In this way, when the time when the resident J performs the operation of canceling the partial set mode tends to be delayed, it is considered that the resident J cannot get up early in the morning due to, for example, a weakened body. In this case, in step S12 described above, it is determined that the health condition of resident J has become difficult to wake up in the morning (step S12: YES), and in step S13, "to see the situation" to the destination related to the watcher of resident J. A message suggesting that you go to see the situation of Resident J may be sent, such as "Why don't you go?"

In the above-described embodiment, the "memory unit 202", "house 3", "resident J", "home monitoring mode" or "partial set mode", and "going out mode" are the "memory" according to the present invention, respectively. It is used as "means", "security target", "operator", "partial monitoring mode", and "whole monitoring mode".

According to the present embodiment described above, it is determined that the resident J has changed his / her health condition based on the history of the operation of switching the security mode by the resident J, and a message according to the determination result is transmitted to a predetermined destination. Therefore, the person at the predetermined destination can recognize that the health condition of the resident J has changed without providing a large number of dedicated sensors for detecting the change in the health condition of the resident J. In addition, since the status of Resident J is determined from the history of operations for switching the security mode, it is possible to inform the person watching the change in the health condition of Resident J without making Resident J feel the psychological burden of being monitored. it can. In addition, the type of change in health condition is determined according to the combination of the target security mode and the type of change in operation tendency, and a message with different contents is transmitted depending on the type of change in health condition. A person at a predetermined destination can recognize how his / her health condition has changed.

[Modification example]
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be implemented in various other embodiments. For example, the present invention may be carried out by modifying the above-described embodiment as follows. The above-described embodiment and the following modifications may be combined.

In the above-described embodiment, the change in the health condition of the resident J may be determined based on the change in the time from the start to the end of the security mode. In this case, the aggregation means 2002 uses the operation history 2005 to calculate the average set time from the operation of setting the target security mode to the operation of releasing the security mode. The determination means 2003 determines the change in the health condition of the resident J based on the change in the average set time.

For example, it is assumed that the average set time of the outing mode is 6 hours in the reference period, while the average set time of the outing mode is reduced to 2 hours in the target period. In this way, when the set time of the outing mode tends to decrease, it is considered that the outing time of the resident J is shortened. In this case, in step S12 described above, for example, it is determined that the health condition of the resident J is in a state where he / she feels that going out is troublesome (step S12: YES), and in step S13, a message corresponding to the change in the health condition. May be sent. On the other hand, for example, it is assumed that the average set time of the outing mode is 6 hours in the reference period, while the average set time of the outing mode is increased to 8 hours in the target period. In this way, when the setting time of the outing mode tends to increase, it is considered that the resident J takes a long time to move due to, for example, a decrease in leg strength or an injury. In this case, in step S12 described above, for example, it is determined that the health state of the resident J has become a state in which it takes time to move (step S12: YES), and in step S13, a message corresponding to the change in the health state is sent. May be sent.

Further, for example, it is assumed that the average setting time of the partial set mode is 9 hours in the reference period, while the average setting time of the partial set mode is reduced to 4 hours in the target period. In this way, when the setting time of the partial set mode tends to decrease, it is considered that the resident J sleeps lightly. In this case, in step S12 described above, for example, it is determined that the health state of the resident J has become a light sleep state (step S12: YES), and in step S13, a message corresponding to the change in the health state may be transmitted. .. On the other hand, for example, it is assumed that the average setting time of the partial set mode is 9 hours in the reference period, while the average setting time of the partial set mode is increased to 12 hours in the target period. In this way, when the setting time of the partial set mode tends to increase, it is considered that, for example, the resident J cannot wake up immediately even in the morning. In this case, in step S12 described above, for example, it is determined that the health condition of the resident J has become difficult to wake up in the morning (step S12: YES), and in step S13, a message corresponding to the change in the health condition may be transmitted.

In the above-described embodiment, the security mode targeted by the example shown in FIG. 7 is not limited to the partial set mode. For example, if the resident J has a habit of using the home monitoring mode instead of the partial set mode at bedtime, the home monitoring mode may be used instead of the partial set mode.

In the embodiments described above, the reference period is not limited to a period one or two prior to the target period. For example, the reference period may be a past period of the same season as the target period. For example, if the target period is from 1st, 1st, 2019 to 31st, 1st, 2019, the reference period is from 1st, 1st, 2018 to 1st, 31st, 2018, one year before the target period. You may. As a result, even if the life pattern of the resident J changes depending on the season, the change in the health condition of the resident J can be accurately determined. As described above, the comparison period may be any period as long as it is a period before the target period.

In the above-described embodiment, the content of the message may be the same when any of the above-mentioned changes in health condition is determined. For example, if any of the above-mentioned changes in health condition are determined, the health condition of Resident J may be "The health condition may have deteriorated. Why don't you make a phone call?" A message may be sent that informs that the condition may be worsening or that suggests contacting Resident J.

In the above-described embodiment, the destination of the message is not limited to the destination related to the watcher of the resident J and the destination related to the resident J. The destination of the message may be a destination related to the monitoring center 4. For the destination related to the monitoring center 4, for example, the communication address of the center device 20 is used. When a message is sent to a destination related to the monitoring center 4, a coping person who receives a request from the monitoring center 4 may rush to the residence 3. Further, when the destination of the message is the communication address of the controller 10, the message may be displayed on the display unit 103. As a result, the resident J can recognize the change in his / her health condition.

In the above-described embodiment, the center device 20 determines the change in the health condition of the resident J. However, the operation history 2005 is accumulated in the controller 10, and the controller 10 determines the change in the health condition of the resident J. May be. Alternatively, a terminal installed in the residence 3 separately from the controller 10 may be configured to determine the change in the health condition of the resident J. Further, the controller 10 or the center device 20 may transmit mode information or the like to the cloud server described above, and the cloud server may determine the change in the health condition of the resident J.
