[0069] Since the at least one infrared probe does not work effectively in real time, for example, when the elderly person turns off the lights and rests at night and covers himself with a thick quilt, the at least one infrared probe cannot work effectively and cannot detect whether the elderly person is still moving. In this case, other methods can be used to detect the movement of the elderly person.

[0070] Figure 7 is another preferred schematic diagram of a nursing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 As shown, the above-mentioned nursing system may also include: at least one vibration sensor 63, used to detect vibration signals; a nursing host 65, also used to wirelessly connect to at least one vibration sensor, and send the vibration signal received from at least one vibration sensor to the processor; the processor is also used to send commands according to the vibration signal, and the command is used to instruct the alarm module to sound an alarm.

[0071] For example, the at least one vibration sensor can be installed in the area where the elderly often move around at home, such as the sofa in the living room. Preferably, the at least one vibration sensor can be installed on the head of the bed in the bedroom. In this way, even if the elderly turn off the lights to rest at night and still have a thick quilt, the at least one vibration sensor can be used to monitor the movement of the elderly in real time.

[0073] Figure 8 is another preferred structural diagram of the nursing system according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 8 As shown, the nursing system includes, in addition to the above-mentioned at least one infrared probe 61, at least one vibration sensor 63 and the nursing host 65, a server 81. The above-mentioned nursing host 65 is also used to send alarm information to the server 81, wherein the alarm information is generated based on at least one of the following: a mobile signal, a vibration signal; the server 81 is connected to the nursing host 65, and is used to obtain the alarm information and send the alarm information to the smart device, wherein the smart device may include at least one of the following: a mobile terminal 82, a smart wearable device 83.

[0074] In addition, if Figure 8 As shown, the above-mentioned nursing system also includes: a remote controller 84, which is used to send a remote control signal corresponding to the key to the nursing host 65 when the user presses a key on the remote controller 84.

[0075] In addition, if Figure 8 As shown, the above-mentioned nursing system also includes: at least one client 85, connected to the server 81, used to receive the alarm information sent by the server 81 and respond to the alarm information.

[0076] For example, when the at least one infrared probe 61 or at least one vibration sensor 63 detects that the elderly person has an accident (for example, not moving for a long time), the at least one infrared probe 61 or at least one vibration sensor 63 sends the detected signal (the above-mentioned movement signal or vibration signal) to the care host 65, and the care host 65 sends an alarm message to the server, wherein, after receiving the alarm message, the care host 65 sends the alarm message to the mobile terminal 82, the smart wearable device 83 or the at least one client host 85. When the mobile terminal 82 receives the alarm message, it can go home to handle it or notify others to help it handle it, for example, send the elderly person to the hospital, etc.; in addition, when the at least one client 85 receives the alarm message, it can assign a designated caregiver to handle it, for example, go to the elderly person's home for medical assistance, etc.

[0077] For another example, after receiving the alarm signal, the at least one client 85 analyzes the alarm information. If the alarm information is that an elderly person is lost, then the at least one client 85 will locate the elderly person according to the smart wearable device worn by the elderly person, and then send information to the caregiver who is closest to the elderly person’s current location. The information carries the elderly person’s current location information, which is used to remind the caregiver to find the elderly person according to the information sent by at least one client 85, thereby providing a safer and more reliable care method for the elderly person.

[0085] In addition, since the at least one infrared probe does not work effectively in real time, for example, when the elderly person turns off the lights and rests at night and covers himself with a thick quilt, the at least one infrared probe cannot work effectively and cannot detect whether the elderly person is moving. In this case, other methods can be used to detect the movement of the elderly person.

[0086] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, before obtaining the movement signal of a human body in a predetermined area, the above-mentioned intelligent monitoring method may also include: determining that the movement signal of a human body in the predetermined area has not been obtained; obtaining a vibration signal in the predetermined area, wherein the vibration signal is a signal detected by at least one vibrator installed in the predetermined area; and monitoring the predetermined area according to the vibration signal.

[0087] For example, the at least one vibration sensor can be installed in the area where the elderly often move around at home, such as the sofa in the living room. Preferably, the at least one vibration sensor can be installed on the head of the bed in the bedroom. In this way, even if the elderly turn off the lights to rest at night and still have a thick quilt, the at least one vibration sensor can be used to monitor the movement of the elderly in real time. If the monitoring result shows that no vibration signal is detected for a long time, the data corresponding to the vibration signal will be sent to the processor; the processor is used to send a command based on the data, and the command is used to instruct the alarm module to sound an alarm. The alarm signal is sent to the elderly’s children or other caregivers to ensure the safety of the elderly.

[0088] In addition, when the at least one infrared probe is working, it can also be combined with the at least one vibration sensor to detect the situation of the elderly at home. For example, the at least one vibration sensor detects a vibration signal, and combined with the infrared probe, analysis is performed to obtain that the elderly has fallen. At this time, the at least one vibration sensor can trigger other voice modules to issue a prompt voice to remind the elderly not to move temporarily for safety reasons, and at the same time send an alarm message to the elderly’s children or other caregivers, thereby ensuring that the elderly receive better care.

[0089] In order to better monitor the above-mentioned predetermined area, monitoring the predetermined area according to the mobile signal may include: generating an alarm signal according to the mobile signal; and monitoring the predetermined area according to the alarm signal.

[0090] Specifically, monitoring a predetermined area according to an alarm signal may include: sending the alarm signal to a smart device, wherein the smart device includes at least one of the following: a mobile terminal, a smart wearable device, the smart device is connected to the device generating the alarm signal via a wireless communication device, the smart device responds to the alarm information, and displays the alarm information in a predetermined form. The predetermined form may be: text message, phone call, WeChat message, etc.

[0091] The wireless communication device may include but is not limited to: a user identity identification SIM card, an antenna, a WIFI module and a global system for mobile communications GSM. The type of the wireless communication device is not specifically limited in the present application.

[0092] To ensure that the alarm signal can be sent to valid personnel, sending the alarm signal to the smart device may include: sending a verification message to the smart device; after obtaining a response message from the smart device based on the verification message, sending the alarm signal to the smart device.

[0093] For example, a verification message may be first sent to the above-mentioned smart device to verify whether the smart device receiving the verification message has a predetermined relationship with the device sending the alarm signal. If the smart device receiving the verification message has a predetermined relationship with the device sending the alarm signal, a response message will be sent to the device sending the verification message. After receiving the response message, the device sending the verification message will send the alarm signal to the smart device; otherwise, it proves that the alarm signal has failed to be sent, and the device sending the alarm signal needs to be prompted to re-search for smart devices that can receive the alarm signal until the alarm device sending the alarm signal receives the response message from the smart device and then sends the alarm signal, thereby improving the reliability of the smart care system.

[0094] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, monitoring the above-mentioned predetermined area according to the above-mentioned signal may include: determining whether there is anyone moving within a predetermined time period; if no one moves, it is considered that a problem occurs and an alarm is immediately issued.

[0095] The predetermined time period may be preset, for example, the elderly are often at home from 10 am to 12 pm, from 1 pm to 5 pm, from 7 pm to 10 am the next day, etc. If the movement of the elderly is not monitored during the time period when the elderly are often at home, it can be considered that there is a problem.

[0096] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, monitoring the predetermined area according to the signal may include: determining whether a trigger signal of a door and window sensor is received, and starting the monitoring mode after receiving the trigger signal. Specifically, a sensor may be set on the door for going out, and the sensor may be used to determine whether someone has gone out. After someone has gone out, the monitoring mode may be directly started to locate the person going out in real time.

[0097] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, a camera can be set in the above-mentioned predetermined area. The camera can be one or more. The one or more cameras can be installed in a position where the above-mentioned predetermined area is not easily blocked, which can include but are not limited to: a camera is set at the entrance of each room in the above-mentioned predetermined area, the outside of the house, the top of the house, etc. The installation position of the camera is not specifically limited in this application; the images of the above-mentioned predetermined area can be collected by cameras at different positions respectively. When collecting images, the image can be taken every preset time period, and then the movement of the human body in the image is analyzed. The present invention does not limit the category of the captured image, including but not limited to: black and white image (grayscale image), color image (RGB image). When analyzing the image, the information in the image can be analyzed according to the binary image processing method. Specifically, when analyzing, the positions of multiple pixels in the image and the pixels in the historical image can be compared to determine the pixels with differences, and then the pixels with differences are distinguished to obtain whether the human body in the image moves.
