Embodiment Construction

[0028] figure 1 An embodiment of a system according to the invention is shown, said system comprising a plurality of sensors 10, 20 arranged to measure the environmental conditions of a person. The movement of the monitored person is detected by the movement sensor 20 included in the system. The system further comprises an interpretation device 110 arranged to interpret the plurality of first output signals 100 and second output signals 200. The plurality of first output signals 100 are provided by the environment sensor 10, and the second output signals 200 are provided by the movement sensor 20. The interpretation device 10 is further arranged to determine the daily activities of the person. The interpretation device may provide a warning signal 120 indicating that the person may need direct assistance and a warning signal 130 indicating a potentially deteriorating health condition of the person.

[0029] In another embodiment, the system may include multiple movement sensors...

Abstract

The system according to the invention comprises a plurality of sensors (10), (20) arranged to measure an ambient condition of a person. A movement of the person is being detected by the movement sensor (20) included in the system. The system further comprises interpretation means (110) arranged for interpreting a plurality of first output signals (100) and a second output signal (200). The plurality of first output signals (100) is provided by the ambient sensors (10) and the second output signal (200) is provided by the movement sensor (20). The interpretation means (110) are further arranged to determine an activity of daily living of said person. The interpretation means may provide an alarm signal (120) indicating that the person may need direct assistance and a warning signal (130) indicating a potential deteriorating health condition of the person.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for detecting human activities of daily life. Background technique [0002] Current demographics indicate that the number of elderly people is rising. There is also a trend: these elderly people want to live independently in their own homes. For their children, this may become an annoyance, and it is difficult for them to monitor the wellbeing of their parents, especially when the children are not living near their parents. Therefore, there is a need for a system that assists these remotely living children to monitor the well-being of their parents while maintaining the privacy of the parents. [0003] US20070069900A1 discloses a system and method for monitoring one or more people while maintaining the privacy of these individuals. The system includes one or more activity monitors that create one or more information outputs. The computer system monitors one or more of the information output and processe...
