Description

Equipment status monitoring system SYSTEM FOR EQUIPMENT STATUS DETECTION Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a technology for detecting the status of equipment, and in particular to an equipment status detection system that detects the status of equipment carried in a carrier device by means of image detection. Prior Technology

[0002] Devices commonly used in public places for emergency situations include fire extinguishers and automated external defibrillators (AEDs). Only devices that are functioning properly can handle emergency events, so maintaining these devices in a normal and operational state is an important issue.

[0003] For example, automated external defibrillators (AEDs) can automatically analyze the heart rhythm of a person in emergency use and restore normal heartbeat through electric shock. Current practice requires sending personnel to each location where an AED is installed for maintenance to ensure the equipment is functioning properly. However, this does not allow for real-time access to the status of each device. Therefore, appropriate measures are urgently needed to ensure that the equipment is always in a state of normal operation.

[0004] Current technology involves placing sensors, such as pressure sensors, in the device that carries such equipment to detect whether the equipment is correctly placed in the carrier. However, there is still a lack of technology that can effectively obtain the real-time status of the device. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The disclosure proposes a device status detection system that can instantly obtain device status information stored in a device carrier, such as an automated external defibrillator (AED) installed in a public place.

[0006] According to the embodiment, the device status detection system mainly includes a monitoring platform, which includes a processing unit and a network unit, a server unit and a storage unit electrically connected to the processing unit, and also includes at least one device carrying device, wherein each device carrying device includes a device carrying part with a storage space for storing the device, and is provided with an image collection device for taking pictures to obtain images of the storage space.

[0007] The monitoring platform connects to at least one device carrier via a network unit, provides a monitoring device via a server unit to monitor the device carrier via the network, and establishes a database via a storage unit to store information of the device carrier and data generated by individual device carriers.

[0008] Furthermore, through the device status detection system, the monitoring device can obtain real-time device status information of the device carrier provided by the monitoring platform via a webpage or application through the server unit.

[0009] Furthermore, the process by which the monitoring platform obtains device status information generated by at least one device carrier is as follows: an image collection device of the device carrier is used to capture an image of the storage space of the device carrier; then, the presence of the device in the storage space is determined based on the characteristics of the image; and then device status information is generated based on the status of the device. The device status information includes whether the device exists in the storage space, or, when the device exists in the storage space, the current status of the device is determined by the status indicator on the device, and then the device status information is provided to a monitoring platform.

[0010] Furthermore, the equipment carrying device is equipped with a door opening detection unit to detect the opening status of the door of the equipment carrying device for storing the equipment; when the door is detected to be open by the door opening detection unit, the image collection device can then be driven to perform shooting to confirm whether the equipment is in the storage space.

[0011] Furthermore, the equipment carrier can run an intelligent model through its processing circuitry. The intelligent model acquires images captured by the image collection device and performs object recognition to determine whether the storage space contains equipment. The intelligent model can also be used to identify the operating status of the equipment indicated by the status indicator.

[0012] Furthermore, the equipment carrier may also be equipped with an image sensor to sense and determine whether the equipment exists in its storage space.

[0013] Furthermore, the monitoring information provided to the monitoring device can be represented graphically, for example, by marking multiple equipment carriers within an area on an electronic map and presenting overall or individual monitoring information of the multiple devices contained in the multiple equipment carriers.

[0025] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this invention. Those skilled in the art can understand the advantages and effects of this invention from the content disclosed in this specification. This invention can be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified and changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the concept of this invention. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are for simple illustration only and are not depictions of actual dimensions, as stated in advance. The following embodiments will further describe the relevant technical content of this invention in detail, but the disclosed content is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this invention.

[0026] It should be understood that while terms such as "first," "second," and "third" may be used in this document to describe various components or signals, these components or signals should not be limited by these terms. These terms are primarily used to distinguish one component from another, or one signal from another. Furthermore, the term "or" as used herein should, as appropriate, include any combination of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0027] To enable real-time monitoring of the status of each device located in multiple locations, the disclosure proposes a device status detection system. Unlike conventional systems that primarily rely on personnel to inspect and confirm the status of devices in multiple locations, the proposed system utilizes computer systems and network technology, along with image collection devices and sensors installed in the carrier devices, to achieve the technical objective of remotely monitoring the real-time status of devices. This is particularly relevant for devices used in emergency rescue and other emergency situations. The proposed system ensures device availability by confirming, for example, whether the device is in the carrier device or has been removed, whether the device has sufficient power, needs charging, or is experiencing other problems, and whether the device has been used and needs replacement.

[0028] To achieve the above technical objectives, a schematic diagram of an architecture embodiment of the device status detection system is presented as shown in Figure 1.

[0029] As shown in the figure, the device status detection system includes a device carrier 100 and a monitoring platform 140. The monitoring platform 140 is used to receive device status information transmitted by the device carrier 100 and provide users with a device (such as the device carrier 100 shown in the figure for carrying a specific device 150, such as an automated external defibrillator installed in a public place, but the scope of the proposed novel device is not limited to this device.

[0030] The main structure of the device carrier 100 includes a display unit 101, a device carrier 103, and a support unit 105 that are pivotally connected, electrically connected, or structurally coupled to each other. The display unit 101, such as a display panel, can be used to display user manuals, commercial advertisements, or other information for the device 150. According to one embodiment, the content displayed on the display unit 101 can be obtained from an external device (such as another computer host, server, etc.) through its own host and communication capabilities, and instructional videos can be displayed when the device is removed. The device carrier 103 has a storage space for storing the device 150, and its main components are as described in the following embodiments. The support unit 105 is designed to have a certain height, strength, and specific structural features according to the location requirements of the device carrier 100.

[0031] The monitoring platform 140 is implemented by a computer system. In addition to the device carrier 100 shown in the service diagram, it can also run as a cloud server. It can connect to multiple device carriers located at multiple sites, such as device carrier 110 and device carrier 2120, via network 10. It is used to receive device status information generated by multiple device carriers in different locations (the illustration includes device carrier 100, device carrier 110 and device carrier 2120), and can provide overall monitoring information, so that relevant operators or managers can grasp the status of the devices (such as device 150) in each device carrier (such as device carrier 100) in real time, so as to facilitate system operation and ensure the availability of each device.

[0032] According to an embodiment, the device carrying device 100 is equipped with an image collecting device 133, and may also include an image sensor 135, which can be an infrared sensor. The image collecting device 133 is used to capture images of the interior of the storage space of the device carrying device 100. The captured video can be used to detect whether the device 150 is placed in the device carrying device 100, or whether there are other items there. It is worth mentioning that, in a specific application, the image collecting device 133 may be an image collecting device with the aforementioned image sensor, or an additional image sensor 135 may be provided to assist in sensing the device 150 or other items in the device carrying device 100.

[0033] The image collection device 133 can be installed on the door (or window) of the equipment carrier 103, or any other location that can capture images of the device 150 located inside the equipment carrier 100. The image collection device 133 can continuously capture images or capture images at regular intervals, and perform object recognition by capturing image features to confirm whether the device 150 is in the storage space of the equipment carrier 100 or has been removed, thereby generating device status information of the device 150. The image sensor 135 mentioned in the above embodiment can similarly be installed on the door of the equipment carrier 103, or other locations that can sense whether there is a device 150 or other objects inside.

[0034] Furthermore, when the device 150 being monitored is equipped with a status indicator 152 that displays a status light, graphic, or text indicating the device status, after being captured by the image collection device 133, the image processing capability in the device carrying device 100 can be used to identify the light, graphic, or text. By comparing this with the meaning of the message displayed by the status indicator 152 as recorded in the device 150's instruction manual, the current status of the device 150 can be identified. For example, the device 150 can be designed to use the brightness, color, flashing, and number of lights formed by one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to indicate the current status of the device 150, such as power, consumable status (e.g., AED patch), and whether it is in a normal operating state. After being captured, the current light and its corresponding device status can be identified. By comparing the meaning of different lights as recorded in the device 150's instruction manual, device status information can be generated and transmitted to the monitoring platform 140.

[0035] According to an embodiment, the storage space of the equipment carrier 103 of the equipment carrier 100 is provided with a door, which can be opened to place the equipment 150 into the storage space. An opening detector 131 is provided on the door, which can be activated by a reed switch. The door is installed between the door and the carrier to detect opening events. When someone opens the door of the equipment carrier 103, the opening detector 131 is triggered to generate a status signal, indicating that the door is open. Simultaneously, the image collection device 133 can be activated to capture images of the interior of the storage space, confirming the status of the equipment 150 being placed or removed.

[0036] The aforementioned equipment status detection system (equipment carrier 100 and monitoring platform 140) can effectively obtain the individual equipment status of multiple equipment carriers located at multiple sites via network 10. Managers can connect to the monitoring platform 140 via network 10 through the monitoring device 130 to obtain overall or individual equipment monitoring information. The monitoring information displayed on a monitoring information page through the monitoring device 130 can be referred to the implementation examples shown in Figures 6 to 10.

[0037] Figure 2 then shows a functional component embodiment of the device carrier 200 and the monitoring platform 240 in the device status detection system, wherein the device carrier 200 and the monitoring platform 240 are realized through various functions and circuit components implemented by the cooperation of software and hardware at each end.

[0038] According to the illustrated embodiment, the device carrier 200 for storing the device 250 includes a control unit 201, and an image processing unit 203, a communication unit 204, a timing unit 205, a photography unit 206, and a door opening detection unit 207 electrically connected to the control unit 201. The photography unit 206, such as an image collection device, can continuously or periodically capture images of the interior space of the storage space within the device carrier 200, and the images can also include the status indicator on the device 250. The image processing unit 203, such as an image signal processor (ISP), processes the images captured by the photography unit 206, extracts image features, and performs object recognition to identify the device 250 stored in the device carrier 200, and can also identify the device status indicated by the status indicator. According to another embodiment, the photography unit 206 can be an image sensor that uses infrared light. In this embodiment, it can also be an image sensor added in addition to the image collection device. For example, the image sensor can detect whether the device 250 is placed in the storage space of the device carrier 200 by emitting and receiving infrared light.

[0039] Thus, the device status obtained through the above-described implementation scheme can be generated by the communication unit 204 and transmitted to the monitoring platform 240 as device status information.

[0040] According to an embodiment, the equipment carrying device 200 may be equipped with a door opening detection unit 207. The door opening detection unit 207 uses a switch and related circuits to detect the opening state of the door of the equipment carrying device 200 that houses the equipment 250, that is, to detect whether the door of the space housing the equipment 250 has been opened. The door opening state forms one of the states of the equipment status information, thereby confirming the usage status of the equipment 250. In addition, the detection result of the door opening detection unit 207 can be combined with the image recognition result captured by the camera unit 206 to determine the current state of the equipment 250, and the equipment status information can also be generated and transmitted to the monitoring platform 240 through the communication unit 204.

[0041] Furthermore, the equipment carrier 200 is equipped with a timing unit 205. According to the embodiment, the timing unit 205 can be activated when the door is opened to monitor the time of door opening and the removal of the equipment 250, which serves as one of the criteria for determining the equipment status information. The timing unit 205 can also provide time information to the control unit 201, thereby determining the lifespan of each component in the equipment 250. This allows the equipment status detection system to also monitor the usage status of the equipment carriers 200 located in various locations, ensuring the availability of each device.

[0042] According to one embodiment, the equipment carrier 200 may be equipped with artificial intelligence technology, wherein the control unit 201 can provide computing power to run the intelligent model 202. The intelligent model 202 can be used to perform object recognition, such as recognizing the equipment 250 housed in the equipment carrier 200, and / or to recognize the operating status of the equipment indicated by the status indicator (such as light, graphic or text) of the equipment 250.

[0043] The monitoring platform 240 is implemented as a computer system, and its components, implemented through software and hardware collaboration, include a processing unit 25 and a network unit 21, a server unit 22, and a storage unit 23 electrically connected to the processing unit 25. The monitoring platform 240 connects to at least one end device carrier 200 via the network unit 21 and provides remote network monitoring services via the server unit 22, such as providing network monitoring of at least one device carrier 200 via the monitoring device 230 shown in the figure. A database is established via the storage unit 23 of the monitoring platform 240 to store information and individually generated data from each end device carrier 200 for future reference. For example, a user can operate the monitoring device 230 to obtain real-time device status information of each end device carrier 200 provided by the monitoring platform 240 through a webpage or a specific application via the server unit 22.

[0044] The processing unit 25 of the monitoring platform 240 may include a processing circuit 251, an image processor 253, and a logic unit 255, according to their functions. The processing circuit 251 processes the device status information transmitted from each device carrier 200, and the image processor 253 processes the image data transmitted from each device carrier 200 to form device status information. When the monitoring platform 240 receives the device status information transmitted from each device carrier 200, the logic unit 255 in the processing unit 25 can determine subsequent measures based on the device status information, including sending personnel to maintain or replace the device 250.

[0045] The status of the equipment is detected by the equipment carrier device of the equipment status detection system. Then, the status information of the equipment is provided by the monitoring platform. The purpose of real-time monitoring of the status of the equipment collected by the equipment carrier device can be achieved. Refer to the flowchart of the embodiment of the operation of the equipment status detection system shown in Figure 3, which shows the process of the monitoring platform of the equipment status detection system obtaining the individual equipment status information generated by at least one equipment carrier device.

[0046] According to the process shown in the figure, the image collection device on the equipment carrier takes images of the inside of the storage space at regular intervals or continuously (step S301). The image features can be extracted by the intelligent model running on the equipment carrier or by the image processing method executed by the processing circuit (step S303), and the objects in the image are identified based on the image features (step S305).

[0047] Then, based on the characteristics of the image, it is determined whether the storage space contains the device (step S307). Based on the detection result of the presence of the device, a device status message is generated. If the device exists (yes), the captured image should cover the status indicator on the device, especially the image of the indicator light on the device (step S309). Through image recognition or the operation of the intelligent model, the current status of the device can be determined (step S311), and then a device status message is generated and provided to the monitoring platform (step S313). Conversely, if it is determined that the storage space does not contain the device (no), a device status message is generated on the device carrying device and then transmitted to the monitoring platform (step S313).

[0048] In the monitoring platform, various monitoring messages are generated based on the equipment status information transmitted by the equipment carriers at different locations (step S315), and can be provided to relevant personnel operating the monitoring devices via the network. That is, the equipment status detection system provides monitoring devices through the monitoring platform to generate monitoring messages for network monitoring, and the content of the monitoring messages is displayed on the monitoring information page. For the implementation examples shown in Figures 6 to 10, please refer to the examples shown in Figures 6 to 10.

[0049] You can also refer to the flowchart of an embodiment of the device status detection system for detecting door opening events shown in Figure 4.

[0050] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the equipment carrying device is equipped with a door opening detection unit, which can be used to detect the opening status of the door of the equipment carrying device for storing equipment. If a door opening event is detected (step S401), the timing unit therein can be used to start timing (step S403), and it can be determined at any time whether the time has expired (step S405).

[0051] The system can set a time threshold to determine if there is a timeout. If it is determined that there is no timeout (No), the process continues to determine if there is a door opening event and whether there is a timeout based on the timing result. If it is determined that there has been a timeout (Yes), that is, the door of the storage space detected by the door opening detection unit is in an open state, the process can continue to execute the process shown in Figure 3, driving the image collection device to perform shooting to confirm whether the device is in the storage space. On the other hand, device status information is also formed in the device carrying device (step S407), which is also part of whether the door of the storage space is opened and whether the device is taken out. Similarly, it is also transmitted to the monitoring platform to form monitoring information (step S409).

[0052] Furthermore, the aforementioned equipment status detection system operates through multiple equipment carrier devices to detect the process of the equipment. As shown in Figure 1, the monitoring platform connects multiple equipment carrier devices via a network, enabling the monitoring platform to generate the monitoring information based on the multiple equipment status messages generated by each of the multiple equipment carrier devices, and then provide the monitoring information to the monitoring device via the network.

[0053] In addition to the above-described implementation of the device status detection system, according to another embodiment, the device status detection system may include multiple device carriers carrying multiple devices, and the device status detection system may also cooperate with the security system, so that the security system can obtain the multiple device carriers set in multiple locations through the device status detection system. Please refer to the schematic diagram of the system architecture embodiment of the device status detection system combined with the security system shown in Figure 5.

[0054] This diagram shows that multiple equipment carriers (such as equipment carrier 1 501, equipment carrier 2 502 and equipment carrier 3 503) are connected to the monitoring platform 51 via network 50. On the other hand, the monitoring platform 51 is connected to the security system 53 via network 50, so that the equipment status detection system and the security system 53 cooperate to realize the environmental control center 531 and the database 533 for information on the security equipment at each end.

[0055] The maintenance system 53 can monitor the status of equipment in each terminal device and monitor equipment in different locations through the environmental control center 531. Therefore, the maintenance system 53 can provide manpower for maintenance and ensure the availability of equipment. Taking an automated external defibrillator (AED) as an example, the maintenance system 53 can ensure that AEDs installed in public places in the equipment status detection system can operate normally, providing better assurance for the reliability and timeliness of rescue.

[0056] The monitoring information provided by the monitoring platform can be various graphical charts, including multiple equipment carriers marked on an electronic map within a specific area, and presenting overall or individual monitoring information of multiple devices contained in multiple equipment carriers. The monitoring information represented by various charts can be transmitted to the monitoring device of the management personnel. One example can be referred to in Figure 6, which is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the monitoring information provided by the monitoring platform in the equipment status detection system.

[0057] The legend on this monitoring information page shows the locations of multiple devices marked on the electronic map 60. This example chart shows a total of 9 devices (61) within this area. However, based on the detection results, the device status information only indicates 4 normal devices (62). Of these, 1 device (63) needs to be checked, and the rest are undetectable and offline. This example shows 4 offline devices (64). The electronic map 60 at the bottom of this graphical user interface displays the normal devices identified in the query within a specific area, such as Device 1 (601), Device 2 (602), Device 3 (603), and Device 4 (604).

[0058] Figure 7 shows a schematic diagram of an embodiment of another monitoring information provided by the monitoring platform.

[0059] In this example, the monitoring information page also displays a total of 9 devices (61) within the area viewed on the electronic map, 4 normal devices (62), 1 device (63) requiring inspection, and 4 offline devices (64). Furthermore, in addition to the device monitoring information, this monitoring information page also includes an image playback device (65), which, along with the total number of devices (61), the number of normal devices (62), the number of devices requiring inspection (63), and the number of offline devices (64), forms a clickable link. Clicking the link for the image playback device (65) on this monitoring information page retrieves a list of image playback devices. As shown in Figure 1, clicking the image playback device (65) displays a list of devices with the display unit 101 shown in Figure 1 on this monitoring information page.

[0060] According to the example shown in Figure 7, selecting the number of normal devices 62 on the monitoring device will yield the following device list 70, which shows 4 devices that have been detected as being in a normal state.

[0061] This graphical example shows the location (Location 1), address, and device number of device 1 information 701, as well as links to further access device 1's basic information, location information, device monitoring, and video scheduling information; the location (Location 2), address, and device number of device 2 information 702, as well as links to access device 2's basic information, location information, device monitoring, and video scheduling information; the location (Location 3), address, and device number of device 3 information 703, as well as links to access device 3's basic information, location information, device monitoring, and video scheduling information; and the location (Location 4), address, and device number of device 4 information 704, as well as links to access device 4's basic information, location information, device monitoring, and video scheduling information.

[0062] Figure 8 shows a schematic diagram of an embodiment in which the monitoring platform in the device status detection system provides device location information.

[0063] This chart displays the location information of one of the devices, such as device location information 80, which includes location details 801, including the location name (company AED) and address (Taipei City); coordinate information 803 showing latitude: 25.0625 and longitude: 121.5789, and complete coordinates: 25.0625, 121.5789; and map location 805 showing the location of device 1 on an electronic map.

[0064] Another example of presenting monitoring information is a schematic diagram of an embodiment in which the monitoring platform provides monitoring information in the device status detection system shown in Figure 9.

[0065] This example shows the device monitoring page 90 displayed on the monitor's screen. It includes device information 901, which, using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) as an example, lists the device's model and serial number; and device status 903, displaying the device's detectable status, such as the storage compartment door being open or closed at a certain update time, the storage compartment being without signal or power, the AED being removed or returned, the AED malfunctioning, the AED patch failing, and the AED having a low battery. This example does not limit practical applications. The monitoring information for related devices may also include (but is not limited to) device information (such as model and serial number), setup information (such as the personnel who set up the device and the setup time), and modification information (such as the personnel who modified the information and the modification time).

[0066] Figure 10 then shows a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the monitoring platform providing video playback scheduling, in which the user operates the monitoring device to set the video playback schedule 1000 through the monitoring platform, thereby setting the schedule of the content displayed on the display panel (display unit 101 shown in Figure 1) on the equipment carrier device set at different locations.

[0067] The diagram shows an example of video playback schedule 1000. The displayed information includes the connection and signal status between a certain device (device ID: 123AS) and the monitoring platform. According to video playback schedule 1000, the monitoring device can set the playback time, video number, and video attributes on the display panel of the device. When the monitoring platform sets the video playback schedule for each device, it dispatches the corresponding audio and video content to each device according to this schedule.

[0068] In summary, the device status detection system described in the above embodiments detects the status of the devices stored in the device carriers by using image collection devices and sensors installed at different locations, providing real-time device status information to facilitate device maintenance and ensure device availability.

[0069] The above-disclosed content is only a preferred and feasible embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical changes made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings are included in the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
