[0035] (303) The network gateway 3 receives the wireless information and video information, and stores the video information in a first storage area set by it;
[0036] (304) The network gateway 3 judges whether the behavior parameter value in the wireless information is not within a monitoring range threshold set by it, if it is, proceed to step (305), otherwise proceed to step (310);
[0037] (305) When the network gateway 3 determines that the behavior parameter value in the wireless information is not within the monitoring range threshold, the network gateway 3 retrieves the behavior time carried in the wireless information;
[0038] (306) The network gateway 3 sets a filtering period centered on the behavior time corresponding to the behavior parameter value, and obtains a filtering start time and a filtering end time;
[0039] (307) In the first storage area, find the image data carried by the video information within the filtering period, and store all the image data in the filtering period in a set of the network gateway 3. Second storage area
[0040] (308) The network gateway 3 finds out a location data of a management server 4 stored therein, and the location data corresponds to the source identification code in the wireless information;
[0041] (309) The network gateway 3 wraps the corresponding location data, the source identification code in the wireless information, and a network device number stored in the network gateway 3 into warning information, and sends the warning information to the location data The corresponding management server 4; and
[0042] (310) When the network gateway 3 determines that the behavior parameter value in the wireless information is within the monitoring range threshold, the network gateway 3 receives the next wireless information, and then proceeds to step (304).
[0043] What needs special attention here is that when the user uses the system of the present invention for the first time, he must first register the following data on the management database of the management server:
[0044] (1) The source identification code of the behavior sensing device 1 is the exclusive identification code of the behavior sensing device 1 and also the user's exclusive personal identification code;
[0045] (2) The basic data of the user and the contact data (such as phone number or email address) of related contacts or related units (such as relatives, doctors or medical institutions, etc.): these data correspond to behavior The source identification code of the detection device 1, so that the management server can identify the user of the behavior sensing device 1 and related contacts or related units according to the source identification code carried in the warning information;
[0046] (3) The network device number of the network gateway 3: is the exclusive identification code of the network gateway 3;
[0047] and
[0048] (4) The setting address of the network gateway 3 and related contact data (that is, the telephone number or email address of the contact person who set the address or its neighboring medical institution): these data correspond to the network gateway 3 The network device number, so that the management server can identify the setting address of the network gateway 3 and related contacts based on the network device number carried in the warning information.
[0049] When the management server 4 informs the user of the computer of the relevant unit or the telephone of the relevant contact person registered in the management database according to the source identification code of the warning information, the computer of the relevant unit or the telephone of the relevant contact person It connects to the network gateway 3 through the network, and obtains all the image data in the filtering period from the second storage area, so as to understand the situation of the user when an accident occurs, so as to provide the most appropriate medical behavior.
[0050] From the above, it can be seen that when the user presents the intentional or unconscious state, the computer of the relevant unit or the phone of the relevant contact person quickly obtains from the second storage area the user's intention or unconsciousness before and after (that is, during the filtering period). ) Image data, to solve the shortcomings of "remote home care" that only the physiological parameters are transmitted to the computer of the relevant unit or the phone of the relevant contact person, and when the user is unable to talk, the medical staff can present the unconscious before and after All the image data can provide the most appropriate medical behavior quickly, and solve the problem that "tele medical service" is in the user's unconscious state, and the user cannot enable "tele medical service" and communicate with medical staff through conversation Disadvantages.
[0051] The above is only the best specific embodiment of the present invention, but the characteristics of the present invention are not limited to this. Anyone familiar with the art in the field of the present invention can easily think of changes or modifications. Covered in the patent scope of the present invention.
