Pressure-sensor-based system and method for monitoring motions of going to bed or getting out of bed

Abstract

The invention relates to a pressure-sensor-based system and method for monitoring motions of going to bed or getting out of bed. A plurality of pressure sensors are arranged on corresponding pressure sensitive areas when a user goes to bed or gets out of bed, the pressure sensors are correspondingly distributed and arrayed according to characteristics of the pressure sensitive areas, so that the pressure sensors are adopted to detect pressure changes of the pressure sensitive areas in real time, then, the pressure changes detected by the pressure sensors are sent to a processor through a communication module, finally, the processor is adopted to generate control signals according to the pressure changes, and therefore the motions of going to bed or getting out of bed are monitored in real time according to the control signals. In this way, by the adoption of the pressure-sensor-based system and method for monitoring the motions of going to bed or getting out of bed, the situation is avoided that the daily life of the user is exposed to a camera, the privacy right of the user is protected, the defect of lacking of inspectors can be solved, further damage to the user can be avoided, and optimal monitoring on the user is achieved with relatively low cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of sensor technology, in particular to a monitoring system for getting in and out of bed based on a pressure sensor, and also relates to a monitoring method for getting in and out of bed based on a pressure sensor. Background technique [0002] As China enters an aging society, the population of the elderly is increasing rapidly. The elderly who have a history of falls or mobility problems often fall due to poor supervision when they get out of bed when they are hospitalized, causing secondary injuries to the elderly and seriously endangering the elderly. life safety. [0003] Existing schemes to solve this problem mainly contain three kinds: one is to adopt video surveillance, which exposes the daily life of the elderly in the hospital to the camera surveillance, which is unacceptable for most of the elderly. The second is that the hospital adopts the method of inspection to strengthen the inspection of pa...

Problems solved by technology

However, in actual operation, there are some problems in this kind of inspection, which prevent the guardians from falling in a timely manner. These problems include: First, there are few people on the inspection, the time is short, and they are not accompanied in real time. The probability of preventing the fall from getting out of bed is not high. The second is that when the guardians patrol, it is inevitable to disturb the rest of the elderly. This is a problem that cannot be ignored for the elderly who have difficulty falling asleep, which has caused the elderly to resist the inspection.

[0006] 1) Expose the daily life of the elderly to the camera, although it can achieve the purpose of real-time monitoring, but it seriously violates the privacy of the elderly, brings greater psychological pressure to the elderly, and causes greater social controversy;

[0007] 2) There are few inspectors, and they are not monitored in real time, so there is still a great hidden danger, which makes the old man fall because no one supports him when he gets up;

Moreover, the help button is usually set at the head of the bed or above the bed, and the elderly need to prop up their bodies to reach it. This is another test for the elderly, and it may even cause risks such as sprains.
