[0030] See also Figure 1-5 The present invention provides a technical solution:
[0031] An elderly care system based on voice control and image processing, comprising:
[0032] A high-definition camera 30, which is used to collect daily activities of the elderly;
[0033] The backend terminal 20 is in communication with the high-definition camera 30 and is used to receive and analyze images from the high-definition camera 30 and determine whether the elderly person is in a normal state based on the analysis results. The backend terminal 20 includes a central processing unit, an analysis module, and a communication module 1. The central processing unit is electrically connected to the analysis module and the communication module 1 respectively;
[0034] The monitoring unit 10 is made of a communication electronic device such as a mobile phone / computer, and is used to receive information sent by the background terminal 20 to achieve remote monitoring.
[0035] The smart medicine box 40 includes a communication unit 41 and a medicine box 43. The communication unit 41 includes a timing unit, and a self-locking unit is provided inside the medicine box 43.
[0036] In the above, the high-definition camera 30 can capture every movement of the elderly at home, thereby realizing all-day real-time monitoring of the elderly's activity status. By entering the various human fall states collected in advance into the analysis module, and comparing the image of the high-definition camera 30 with the human state through the central processor, once a fall or abnormal movement is detected, the signal is transmitted to the monitoring unit 10 through the communication module 1, and an alarm message is quickly sent to the preset contacts such as family members or caregivers to avoid danger after the elderly fall. At the same time, when the timing unit reaches the specified time, the self-locking unit automatically closes, the medicine box 43 opens and emits a reminder sound, reminding the elderly to take medicine on time.
[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown in: The background terminal also includes a clip interception module, which is electrically connected to the central processing unit. When the central processing unit detects that an elderly person has fallen, it automatically captures the images before and after the elderly person has fallen, helping family members and medical staff understand the cause of the fall and providing a reference for subsequent care and preventive measures.
[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown in: the communication unit 41 includes an upper shell 411, and a display screen 412 and a front camera 413 are provided on the front surface of the upper shell 411. The display screen 412 is used for system interaction and multimedia viewing, and the front camera 413 is used for remote video between the elderly and the guardian. The interior of the upper shell 411 is fixedly connected with a microprocessor 415, a communication module 2 414, a voice receiving module 416, a timing module 418, and a reminder module 419, and the microprocessor 415 is electrically connected to the communication module 2 414, the voice receiving module 416, the timing module 418, the reminder module 419, the display screen 412 and the front camera 413 respectively. The microprocessor 415 processes various signals from the communication unit 41, and performs the next signal processing through the microprocessor 415. The timing module 418 is used for timing, and the time for taking medicine is set through the timing module 418. When the time for taking medicine is reached, the microprocessor 415 sends a signal to the self-locking unit, and then the self-locking unit automatically closes, the medicine box 43 opens and sends an alarm sound through the reminder module 419 to remind the elderly to take medicine on time. At the same time, when it is necessary to add medicine or check the medicine, just say "open the medicine box". After receiving the voice signal, the voice receiving module 416 automatically opens the medicine box 43 for easy inspection or adding medicine.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure: the medicine box 43 includes a lower shell 432, the lower shell 432 is fixedly connected to the upper shell 411, the lower shell 432 is provided with a pull-out shell 431 in the interior of the pull-out shell 431, medicine is placed in the pull-out shell 431, and the pull-out shell 431 is connected to a self-locking unit, the self-locking unit includes a spring 433 fixedly arranged at the rear end of the pull-out shell 431, the other end of the spring 433 is fixedly connected to the lower shell 432, and the self-locking unit also includes an electromagnet 435 arranged inside the lower shell 432. The magnet 435 is electrically connected to the microprocessor 415 through a drive circuit, and an armature 436 is provided on the lower side of the electromagnet 435. The armature 436 is fixedly set on the block 437, and the block 437 is slidably connected to the lower shell 432. When the timing module 418 reaches the specified time, the electromagnet 435 is energized, the armature 436 is adsorbed and retracted, and then the block 437 is driven to retract. Under the action of the spring 433, the pull-out shell 431 is automatically pushed out to realize the opening of the medicine box 43, which is convenient for the elderly to take out the medicine.
[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown in the figure: spring 2 434 is symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the upper end of the block 437, one end of the spring 2 434 is fixedly connected to the block 437, and the other end of the spring 2 434 is fixedly connected to the lower shell 432. In this way, when the electromagnet 435 is powered off, the block 437 is ejected by the spring 2 434, thereby realizing the engagement of the block 437 with the drawer shell 431.
[0041] Specifically, still as Figure 5 As shown in FIG, a slot 438 is provided on the upper surface of the drawer housing 431 , and the drawer housing 431 is engaged with the block 437 through the slot 438 .
[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown in: the communication unit 41 also includes an emergency rescue button 417, which is electrically connected to the microprocessor 415 through a circuit. When the elderly are in danger, an alarm is triggered by pressing the emergency rescue button 417, and the microprocessor 415 can communicate with the background terminal 20 through the communication module 2 414 to achieve emergency rescue.
[0043] Working principle: When in use, the high-definition camera 20 is installed in an environment where the elderly often go in and out, such as a residence, etc. The high-definition camera 30 can capture the elderly's movements and upload them to the background terminal 20 in real time. The background terminal 20 transmits the picture to the monitoring unit 10 through the communication module 1, so that the guardian can monitor the elderly's activity status in real time around the clock. By entering the various human fall states collected in advance into the analysis module, and comparing the picture of the high-definition camera 30 with the human state through the central processing unit, once a fall or abnormal movement is detected, the signal is transmitted to the monitoring unit 10 through the communication module 1, and an alarm message is quickly sent to the preset contact person such as family members or caregivers, and the elderly are automatically intercepted. The images before and after a person falls help family members and medical staff understand the cause of the fall and provide a reference for subsequent care and preventive measures. At the same time, the smart medicine box 40 is set to realize the control of medicine for the elderly, and the time for taking medicine is set through the timing module 418. When the timing module 418 reaches the specified time, the microprocessor 415 controls the electromagnet 435 to energize, and the armature 436 is retracted, thereby driving the card block 437 to retract. Under the action of spring 1 433, the pull-out shell 431 is automatically pushed out. At this time, the reminder module 419 sounds an alarm to remind the elderly to take medicine, and the medicine box 43 is opened to facilitate the elderly to take out medicine. After taking the medicine, the medicine box 431 is pushed closed and the card block 436 is reinserted into the card slot 438 to store the medicine.
[0044] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
