Description

Central processing unit and method of monitored person monitoring system, and monitored person monitoring system

The present invention relates to a central processing unit and a central processing method of a monitored person monitoring system for monitoring a monitored person to be monitored using a plurality of devices, and the monitored person monitoring system.

Japan (Japan) is an aging society, more specifically the ratio of population over 65 years old to the total population due to the improvement of living standards accompanying the post-war high economic growth, improvement of sanitary environment and improvement of medical standards, etc. It is a super-aging society with an aging rate exceeding 21%. In 2005, the total population was about 126.5 million, while the elderly population over the age of 65 was about 25.56 million. In 2020, the total population was about 124.11 million. There is also a prediction that the elderly population will be about 34.56 million. In such an aging society, nurses who need nursing or nursing care due to illness, injury, elderly age, etc. or care recipients (caregivers who need care) are required It is expected to increase compared to those who are. Japan, for example, is a society with a declining birthrate with a total fertility rate of 1.43 in 2013. For this reason, elderly care has been taking place in which elderly nurses, etc., are cared for by an elderly family (spouse, child, brother).

Caregivers are required to enter nursing facilities such as hospitals and welfare facilities for the elderly (Japanese elderly law short-term entrance facilities, nursing homes for the elderly and special nursing homes for the elderly, etc.). In such a facility, a care-giving person may be injured or fallen out of the bed due to falling from the bed or falling while walking, for example. It is necessary to respond to such a situation as quickly as possible. Moreover, if such a situation is left unattended, it may develop into a more serious situation. For this reason, in the facility, nurses and caregivers regularly check their safety and state by patrol.

However, the increase in the number of nurses etc. cannot keep up with the increase in the number of caregivers, and the nursing industry and the care industry are chronically short of manpower. Furthermore, since the number of nurses, caregivers and the like is reduced in the semi-night shift and night shift hours compared to the day shift hours, the work load per person increases, and thus the work load is required to be reduced. In addition, the situation of nursing care for the elderly is not an exception in the facility, and it is often seen that elderly nurses or the like care for elderly care recipients. In general, physical strength declines when older, so the burden of nursing etc. becomes heavier than young nurses etc. even if they are healthy, and their movements and judgments are also delayed.

In order to reduce the labor shortage and the burden on nurses, a technology that complements nursing work and nursing care work is required. For this reason, in recent years, monitored person monitoring technology for monitoring a monitored person to be monitored, such as a care recipient, has been researched and developed.

For example, there is a nurse call system disclosed in Patent Document 1 as one of such techniques. The nurse call system disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a nurse call slave unit that is installed in a bed and a patient calls a nurse, and a nurse call slave unit that is installed in a nurse station and responds to a call by the nurse call slave unit. A nurse call system having a nurse call parent device, a camera for imaging a patient on a bed from above the bed, and a state in which the patient wakes up from a captured image of the camera and a state in which the patient is separated from the bed State judging means for judging the occurrence of at least one of them and outputting a caution state occurrence signal, and the nurse call master unit has a notifying means for performing a notification operation upon receiving the caution state occurrence signal. The nurse call system transmits a captured image of the camera to the portable terminal upon receiving the attention state generation signal and a portable terminal carried by a nurse to respond to a call from the nurse call slave. Communication control means.

On the other hand, in terms of safety confirmation, a single person living alone is the same as the care recipient and the like and is a subject to be monitored.

By the way, in Patent Document 1, regarding the state determination means, “the state determination unit 21 uses, for example, a known SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) or SURF (Speed-Up Robust Features) as an algorithm for extracting the shape of a patient. It is configured to determine the patient's condition by an identification method using the feature quantity according to (Patent Document 1 [0021] paragraph). Thus, in the said patent document 1, a patient's state is judged according to the preset algorithm, and the judgment result is alert | reported uniformly.

However, when determining the predetermined state of the monitored person, the state of the monitored person varies depending on, for example, the personality of the monitored person, and therefore it is always determined accurately with a preset algorithm. It is difficult to avoid misjudgments and omissions. For this reason, if the determination result determined according to the preset algorithm is reported uniformly, a report such as an erroneous determination is also included. As a result, the supervisor who has received the report must take unnecessary measures.

Also, there is a situation that the state in which the monitor wants to report (in other words, the state in which the monitor does not want to report) differs depending on, for example, the medical condition, the care level, and the wrinkle of the monitored person.

For example, the behavior detection processing unit 142 first extracts a moving body region as the human body region of the monitored person Ob from the image generated by the camera, for example, by the background difference method or the frame difference method. Next, the behavior detection processing unit 142 determines the posture of the monitored person Ob (for example, standing, sitting and lying) from the aspect ratio (aspect ratio) of the extracted moving object region, and the position of the detected moving object region. Is detected. Then, the behavior detection processing unit 142 determines whether to wake up, get out of bed, fall, fall, or position on the bedding based on these determinations and the detected posture and position of the monitored person Ob. More specifically, for example, the behavior detection processing unit 142 sequentially determines each posture of lying, sitting and standing as the aspect ratio decreases from a horizontally long aspect ratio, and the posture on the bedding changes from lying to sitting. If it is determined to wake up, if it changes from inside the bedding to the outside of the bedding in a standing position, it is determined to be out of bed, and if the posture is lying down around the bedding, it is determined to fall, and If the posture is lying on the other side of the bedding, it is determined to fall.

As a result of this determination, if the communication signal addressed to the own device has not been received (No), the management server device SV returns the process to S1 and, as a result of the determination, received the communication signal addressed to the own device. If yes (Yes), the management server device SV executes the next process S2.

In this process S2, when a communication signal addressed to the own device is received, the management server apparatus SV determines the type (type) of the received communication signal by the SV monitoring processing unit 222. As a result of this determination, when the received communication signal is a communication signal other than the event notification communication signal (others), the management server apparatus SV responds to the received communication signal by the SV control processing unit 21. Appropriate processing (in the example, processing related to the above-described report permission / reception acceptance communication signal, etc.) is executed (S11), and this operation ends. On the other hand, when the received communication signal is an event report communication signal (event report) as a result of the determination, the management server device SV is accommodated in the received event report communication signal by the SV monitoring processing unit 222. Sensor ID, event type (type of action based on the detected behavior information (in this embodiment, getting up, getting out of bed, falling, falling, position on the bed and abnormal body movement) or reception of nurse call by nurse call reception information) By registering the event time (or reception time), the still image data (or its file name), and the communication address for acquiring the moving image in the monitoring information table MT-SV, these are associated with each other by the SV. It memorize | stores in the monitoring information storage part 321 (S3), and performs the following process S4. When each piece of information is registered in the monitoring information table MT-SV, the SV monitoring processing unit 222 registers a default flag “0” in the corresponding field 56-SV.

In the process S4, the management server apparatus SV determines whether or not the SV monitoring processing unit 222 is permitted to report the predetermined state detected and notified by the sensor apparatus SU to the outside. More specifically, the SV monitoring processing unit 222 first extracts the notification permission / inhibition information table NT corresponding to the sensor ID accommodated in the received event notification communication signal from the notification permission / inhibition information storage unit 233. Next, the SV monitoring processing unit 222 records a record for registering the detected action information (event type) contained in the received event notification communication signal in the state type field 71 of the extracted notification permission / inhibition information table NT. The retrieved notification permission / refusal information table NT is searched. Then, the SV monitoring processing unit 222 acquires a flag (permission / rejection information) registered in the notification permission / refusal field 72 of the retrieved record, and determines whether or not notification to the outside is permitted according to the acquired flag. To do. That is, when the acquired flag is “0”, the SV monitoring processing unit 222 determines that reporting to the outside is permitted (Yes), and the SV monitoring processing unit 222 performs the next processing S5. Execute. On the other hand, when the acquired flag is “1”, the SV monitoring processing unit 222 determines that notification to the outside is not permitted (No), and the SV monitoring processing unit 222 performs this operation. finish.

In process S5, the management server apparatus SV is executed by the SV monitoring processing unit 222. The SV communication IF unit 21 reports (re-reports) the received event report communication signal to the first report destination terminal devices SP and TA. More specifically, the SV monitoring processing unit 222 first records a record for registering the sensor ID accommodated in the received event notification communication signal in the transmission source field 61 of the notification destination group information table WT. A search is performed from the WT, and the group ID registered in the first report destination field 62 of the searched record is extracted. Next, the SV monitoring processing unit 222 searches the group affiliation information table GT for a record for registering the extracted group ID in the group ID field 64 of the group affiliation information table GT, and belongs to the terminal ID field 65 of the retrieved record. The terminal ID registered in is taken out. Next, the SV monitoring processing unit 222 transmits the event notification communication signal with the terminal devices SP and TA having this terminal ID as the first notification destination. As a result, the state (situation) of the monitored person Ob is notified to a monitor such as a nurse or a caregiver via the terminal device SP or TA that is the first report destination. Then, the SV monitoring processing unit 222 functionally forms a timer for measuring the passage of the predetermined time in the SV control processing unit 22 for the sensor ID accommodated in the received event notification communication signal, and starts timing. And this operation | movement is complete | finished.

On the other hand, when the timer has expired due to the elapse of the predetermined time, the management server apparatus SV causes the SV monitoring processing unit 222 to set the sensor ID associated with the timer that has expired in the sensor ID field 51- A record to be registered in the SV is searched from the monitoring information table MT-SV, and if the unsupported flag “0” is registered in the corresponding field 56-SV in the searched record, the received event notification communication is performed. The SV communication IF unit 21 reports (re-reports) the signal to the second reporting destination terminal devices SP and TA. As a result, the state (situation) of the monitored person Ob is notified to a monitoring person such as a nurse or a caregiver via the second reporting destination terminal devices SP and TA.

The management server device SV operates in this way with respect to monitoring of the monitored person Ob.

Then, when each of the fixed terminal device SP and the portable terminal device TA receives an event notification communication signal from the management server device SV, the fixed terminal device SP and the portable terminal device TA store the monitoring information related to monitoring the monitored person Ob based on the received event notification communication signal ( And a screen such as a monitoring information screen and a nurse call reception screen corresponding to the information contained in the received event notification communication signal is displayed on the TA display unit 36.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the monitoring information screen 82 a includes a menu bar area 811, a location where the sensor device SU of the sensor ID is disposed, and a monitored person Ob monitored by the sensor device SU of the sensor ID. The name of the person to be monitored 821 for displaying the name of the person, the icon area 822 for displaying an icon that represents the detection result represented by the elapsed time from the event time (or the reception time) and the detection behavior information, An image area 823 for displaying an image (here, a still image) imaged by the sensor device SU of the sensor ID, a “corresponding” button 824, a “speak” button 825, and a “watch live” button 826 Prepare. The “corresponding” button 824 indicates to the user of the portable terminal device TA that he / she intends to perform, for example, lifesaving, nursing, care, and assistance for the monitored person Ob monitored by the sensor device SU with the sensor ID. This is a button for inputting a certain thing to the portable terminal device TA. The “speak” button 825 is a button for requesting a voice call, and is used to input an instruction to connect the sensor device SU with the sensor ID and the mobile terminal device TA via the network NW. It is a button. The “watch live” button 826 is a button for requesting a live video, and is a button for inputting an instruction to display a video captured by the sensor device SU of the sensor ID.

The nurse call reception screen 82b, as shown in FIG. 12, for example, includes a menu bar area 811, a monitored person name area 821, a message indicating that a nurse call has been received (for example, “nurse call”) and its A nurse call reception main area 829 for displaying an icon and a “speak” button 825 are provided. In the nurse call reception screen 82 b, the nurse call reception main area 829 is also used as the “corresponding” button 824.

In such a monitoring information screen 82a or nurse call reception screen 82b, for example, when an input operation of the “LIVE” button 526 is received, the mobile terminal device TA is operated by the TA streaming processing unit 325 of the TA control processing unit 32. A communication signal (video distribution request communication signal) containing information such as a request for live video distribution is transmitted to the sensor device SU that currently monitors the monitored person Ob displayed on the TA display unit 36. In response to this, the sensor device SU is connected to be downloadable via the network NW, receives live video distribution from the sensor device SU, and the TA display unit receives the distributed video by streaming playback. 36. This live video is displayed, for example, on the monitoring information screen 82a shown in FIG. 11 in place of the still image in the image area 823. On the monitoring information screen 82a displaying this moving image, a “LIVE” button 526 is displayed. Instead, a “live end” button (not shown) is displayed. The “live end” button is a button for requesting the end of the moving image, and is an instruction to end (stop) the distribution of the moving image captured by the sensor device SU of the sensor ID and end (stop) the display. It is a button for inputting. When the input operation of the “live end” button is accepted, the mobile terminal device TA monitors the monitored person Ob currently displayed on the TA display unit 36 by the TA control processing unit 32 and the TA streaming processing unit 324. A communication signal (moving image distribution end communication signal) containing information such as requesting the end of moving image distribution is transmitted to the sensor device SU, and a monitoring information screen 52a for displaying a still image is displayed on the TA display unit 36. .

Further, for example, when an input operation of the “speak” button 825 is accepted, the portable terminal device TA displays the monitored subject Ob displayed on the TA display unit 36 by the TA control processing unit 32 and the TA nurse call processing unit 323. A communication signal (call request communication signal) containing information such as requesting a voice call is transmitted to the monitoring sensor device SU, and the corresponding sensor device SU is connected to the sensor device SU via the network NW so as to be able to make a voice call. . As a result, a voice call can be made between the mobile terminal device TA and the sensor device SU. If the voice call is connected, an “end” button (not shown), which is a button for inputting a voice call end instruction, is displayed on the TA display unit 36. When the input operation of the “end” button is accepted, the mobile terminal device TA monitors the monitored person Ob displayed on the TA display unit 36 by the TA control processing unit 32 and the TA nurse call processing unit 323. A communication signal (call end communication signal) containing information such as a request to end the voice call is transmitted to the device SU, and a monitoring information screen 52a for displaying a still image is displayed on the TA display unit 36.

Further, for example, when the input operation of the “corresponding” buttons 824 and 829 is accepted, the mobile terminal device TA uses the TA control processing unit 32 to display the monitoring information of the monitored person Ob currently displayed on the TA display unit 36. In the record in which the corresponding sensor ID is registered in the sensor ID field 51-TA, the flag (1) is registered in the corresponding field 56-TA, and the monitor (user) logged in to the portable terminal device TA A communication signal (response notification communication signal) for notifying that there is an intention to execute the above-mentioned response such as nursing for the monitored person Ob currently displayed on the TA display unit 36 is transmitted to the management server device SV. . In the correspondence notification communication signal, information indicating that the intention to execute the correspondence has been input (response intention acceptance information) and information indicating the correspondence target are displayed on the TA display unit 36. The sensor ID corresponding to the Ob monitoring information and the terminal ID of the portable terminal device TA are stored as information representing the subject that executes the correspondence. The management server device SV that has received the correspondence notification communication signal uses the SV monitoring processing unit 222 to handle the correspondence in the record in which the sensor ID accommodated in the received correspondence notification communication signal is registered in the sensor ID field 51-SV. The flag “1” is registered in the field 56-SV.

By such an operation, the monitored person monitoring system MS generally monitors each monitored person Ob by each sensor device SU, management server device SV, fixed terminal device SP, and portable terminal device TA.

As described above, the monitored person monitoring system MS according to the present embodiment, the management server device SV which is an example of the central processing unit, and the method implemented therein are provided in the report permission / rejection information storage unit 233 by the sensor device SU. Whether or not to report a predetermined state that has been detected and reported can be stored, and is detected by the sensor device SU by the SV monitoring processing unit 222, which is an example of the notification unit, according to the stored contents of the notification permission / rejection information storage unit 233. It is possible to select whether or not to report the notified predetermined state to the outside. For this reason, in the monitored person monitoring system MS, the management server apparatus SV and the method thereof, for example, a user such as a supervisor makes an erroneous determination or omission in the notification permission / rejection information storage unit 233 due to, for example, the personality of the monitored person Ob. Can be excluded from the target of notification to the outside, or the state that wants to report to the outside can be included in the notification target (in other words, the state that does not want to report to the outside can be excluded from the notification target) . Therefore, the monitored person monitoring system MS, the management server apparatus SV, and the method thereof can appropriately report a predetermined state in the monitored person Ob.

The monitored person monitoring system MS, the management server device SV, and the method thereof according to the present embodiment can select whether or not to report to the outside for each of the plurality of types in the predetermined state, and the plurality of the plurality in the predetermined state. You can report appropriately for each type.

In the above-described embodiment, the notification permission / inhibition information is received by the terminal devices SP and TA, and transmitted from the terminal devices SP and TA to the management server device SV. However, as described above, the management server device SV When the SV input unit 24 and the SV output unit 25 are provided, the SV input unit 24 may accept and store them.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the types in the predetermined state are getting up, getting out of bed, falling, falling, position on the bed, and abnormal movement of the micro body, but are not limited to this, and in other modes There may be.

For example, the type in the predetermined state may include a sitting position, for example, may include a sitting position on a bedding, or may be a sitting position (stool) on the edge of the bedding. In this case, the area of the bedding on the image is stored in advance in the SU storage unit 16. On the bedding, when the posture changes from a lying position to a sitting position for a predetermined determination time (for example, 3 hours, 4 hours, and 5 hours), the sitting position is set to When it is determined and the posture changes from the lying posture to the sitting posture for less than the determination time, the sitting posture is determined as the sitting position on the bedding.

Further, for example, the type in the predetermined state may include a state (head change) in which the size of the head of the monitored subject Ob is changed (enlarged or reduced). In this case, for example, a predetermined determination threshold value is stored in advance in the SU storage unit 16, and the behavior detection processing unit 142 determines the head region from the moving object region by, for example, circular Hough transformation or pattern matching using a head pattern. The size of the head region is extracted based on the size of the head region in a stationary state where the size of the head region does not change for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds or 10 seconds). When it changes (enlarges or reduces) above the determination threshold, it is determined as the head change and the head change is detected. The size of the head is defined by, for example, the area, the length in the minor axis direction, or the length in the major axis direction.

Further, for example, the type in the predetermined state exists in a peripheral area where the monitored person Ob is within a preset distance (for example, 0.5 m, 1 m, 1.5 m, etc.) from the periphery of the bedding such as a bed. It may also include a state (existing in the bedding peripheral area). In this case, for example, when a predetermined peripheral area is stored in advance in the SU storage unit 16 and the moving body area is present in the peripheral area, the behavior detection processing unit 142 determines that the bedding peripheral area exists and determines the bedding Detect presence in surrounding area.

Further, for example, the type in the predetermined state may include a state (existence in the room setting area) where the monitored person Ob exists in a preset area (room setting area) in the room RM. In this case, for example, when a predetermined living room setting area is stored in advance in the SU storage unit 16 and the moving object area exists in the living room setting area, the action detection processing unit 142 determines that the moving room area exists in the living room setting area. The presence in the room setting area is detected.

In the setting of the living room setting area, for example, a notification permission / denial setting screen 83 of the second mode shown in FIG. 13 is used. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a notification permission / inhibition setting screen of the second aspect in the monitored person monitoring system of the embodiment.

The area setting area 831 includes a plan view of the room RM in which the target sensor device SU is disposed, and a boundary line indicating each boundary of a plurality of rectangular areas obtained by dividing the room RM into a two-dimensional matrix. Is displayed. The boundary line is indicated by a broken line in FIG. When one or more rectangular areas are specified by an input operation (for example, the cursor is moved to the one or more rectangular areas with the mouse and left-clicked) and the “Register” button 809 is input, One or a plurality of the rectangular areas are determined as the room setting areas and input to the terminal devices SP and TA in association with the notification permission. The report permission / reception accepting processing unit 323 displays the room setting area and permission / rejection information (report permission), which are confirmed and entered using the report permission / rejection setting screen 83, and the sensor ID of the sensor device SU corresponding to the notification permission / rejection setting screen 83. The accommodated communication signal (room setting area reception communication signal) is transmitted to the management server device SV. When the management server device SV receives the room setting area reception communication signal by the SV communication IF unit 21, the management server apparatus SV sends the sensor ID, the room setting area, and the permission / rejection information (report permission) contained in the received room setting area reception communication signal to each other. The information is stored in the report permission / rejection information storage unit 233 in association with each other. Thus, the room setting area and permission / rejection information (report permission) regarding the sensor device SU having the sensor ID are stored in the report permission / rejection information storage unit 233.

In the above-described embodiment, the predetermined state includes a plurality of types, and the report permission / rejection information storage unit 233 sets all or a part of the plurality of types in the predetermined state to the predetermined state. As a new type of state, permission information for the combination and the combination are stored in association with each other as the notification permission information, and as indicated by a broken line in FIG. Each time the status is received from the sensor device SU, the SV control processing unit 22 further includes a combination determination unit 223 that determines whether or not the combination stored in the notification permission / rejection information storage unit 233 is functional, and the notification unit The SV monitoring processing unit 222 as an example further reports the determined combination when the combination determination unit 223 determines that the combination is applicable. May Problem outside on the basis of the report permissibility information stored Nay in the information storage unit 233. Such monitored system MS, management server apparatus SV and method thereof can select whether or not to report to the outside in a combination (set) of a plurality of individual types, and can appropriately report to the combination. In this aspect, the combination includes the time series of the plurality of types in the predetermined state, the number of times of the plurality of types in the predetermined action, and the time of the plurality of types in the predetermined state. In the case where the sequence order is included, one or more of the transition times between the plurality of types are included, and the report permission / rejection information storage unit 233 includes the time series order, the number of times, and the transition time included in the combination One or more of these may be further stored in association with the combination. Such monitored system MS, management server device SV, and method thereof further select one or more of the time-series order, the number of times, and the transition time when selecting whether to permit or reject the notification by the combination. Can be set.

In the setting of this combination, for example, the notification permission / inhibition setting screen 84 of the third aspect shown in FIG. 14 is used.
