[0002] With the continuous acceleration of the aging process of the population and the continuous growth of the elderly population, the issue of elderly care has received more and more attention. The existing elderly care model is mainly based on elderly care institutions such as nursing homes, and of course, it also includes community elderly care that is closely integrated with grassroots medical institutions such as community service stations.

[0003] However, there is no effective nursing patrol management system in the current community elderly care. In the related art, the nursing patrol is confirmed by the manual check-in of the nursing staff and the playback of the video recordings taken by the camera equipment.

[0004] However, the above method for confirming the inspection status of the nursing staff may not be able to accurately and timely confirm the authenticity of the inspection status. For example, manual sign-in may be forged. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present disclosure proposes a patrol monitoring method and system, a terminal device, a wireless transceiver and a lamp.

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a patrol monitoring method is provided, which is applied to a terminal device, and includes: detecting the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and a wireless transceiver installed in a predetermined area; judging whether a user carrying the terminal device has entered the predetermined area based on the wireless communication strength; and sending a patrol signal to a server indicating whether the user has patrolled the predetermined area based on a result of the judgment.

[0007] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a patrol monitoring method is provided, which is applied to a wireless transceiver, including: detecting the wireless communication strength between the wireless transceiver and a terminal device carried by a user; judging whether the user has entered a predetermined area where the wireless transceiver is installed based on the wireless communication strength; and sending a patrol signal to a server indicating whether the user has patrolled the predetermined area based on a result of the judgment.

[0008] According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, a terminal device is provided, comprising: a detection module for detecting the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and a wireless transceiver installed in a predetermined area; a judgment module for judging whether a user carrying the terminal device has entered the predetermined area based on the wireless communication strength; and a sending module for sending a patrol signal to a server indicating whether the user has patrolled the predetermined area based on a result of the judgment.

[0009] According to a fourth aspect of the present disclosure, a wireless transceiver is provided, comprising: a detection module for detecting the wireless communication strength between the wireless transceiver and a terminal device carried by a user; a judgment module for judging, based on the wireless communication strength, whether the user has entered a predetermined area where the wireless transceiver is installed; and a sending module for sending, based on a result of the judgment, a patrol signal to a server indicating whether the user has patrolled the predetermined area.

[0010] According to a fifth aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a patrol monitoring system, comprising: the above-mentioned terminal device; a server; and a plurality of wireless transceivers installed in each predetermined area.

[0011] According to a sixth aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a patrol monitoring system, comprising: a plurality of the above-mentioned wireless transceivers; a terminal device, which is carried by a user; and a server.

Since the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver installed in the predetermined area can accurately reflect the patrol situation of the caregiver with respect to the predetermined area, the terminal device can accurately confirm the patrol situation of the caregiver with respect to the predetermined area based on the detected wireless communication strength. Compared with the prior art of confirming the patrol situation of the caregiver through manual sign-in of the caregiver, this can effectively prevent the caregiver from falsifying information.

[0024] Various exemplary embodiments, features and aspects of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the accompanying drawings represent elements with the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless otherwise specified.

[0025] The word “exemplary” is used exclusively herein to mean “serving as an example, example, or illustration.” Any embodiment described herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.

[0026] In addition, in order to better illustrate the present disclosure, numerous specific details are given in the following specific embodiments. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present disclosure can also be implemented without certain specific details. In some examples, methods, means, components and circuits well known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail in order to highlight the subject matter of the present disclosure.

[0027] Figure 1 The present invention is a flowchart of a patrol monitoring method according to an exemplary embodiment. The patrol monitoring method can be applied to terminal devices, wherein the terminal devices include but are not limited to: mobile phones, mobile Internet devices (English: Mobile Internet Device, abbreviated: MID), personal digital assistants (English: Personal Digital Assistant, abbreviated: PDA), notebooks, etc. The patrol monitoring method disclosed in the present invention can be applied to institutions that need to be patrolled, including but not limited to community elderly care, hospital elderly care, nursing homes, elderly apartments, etc. For the convenience of explanation, the patrol monitoring method disclosed in the present invention is described in detail below by taking the application of the patrol monitoring method to community elderly care as an example.

[0028] Community-based elderly care refers to a home-based elderly care service system that takes the family as the core, the community as the support, and the daily care, life care, and housekeeping services of the elderly as the main contents, and introduces the professional service methods of elderly care institutions. Community-based elderly care is to introduce the services of institutional elderly care into the community and implement community-based home-based elderly care.

[0029] In the scenario where the patrol monitoring method is applied to community elderly care, the community includes multiple households, and each household that needs to be monitored should be equipped with a wireless transceiver with wireless transmission and reception functions, and the users who conduct patrols, such as caregivers, carry terminal devices that can communicate wirelessly with the wireless transceivers installed in each household. The users involved in community elderly care include but are not limited to the objects of community elderly care - the elderly, the objects' families, patrolling caregivers, and managers who supervise the caregivers.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the patrol monitoring method may include the following steps.

[0031] In step S110, the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver installed in the predetermined area is detected.

[0032] In this embodiment, the predetermined area may correspond to the indoor areas of each household to be monitored, such as the inside of each household's door. When the caregiver carries the terminal device to inspect each household to be monitored in the community, the terminal device detects the wireless communication strength between itself and the wireless transceiver installed in each household to be monitored.

[0033] In step S130, it is determined whether the user carrying the terminal device enters the predetermined area according to the wireless communication strength.

[0034] In this embodiment, since the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver is related to whether the terminal device is in the predetermined area where the wireless transceiver is installed, and the value of the wireless communication strength when the terminal device is in the predetermined area is greater than the value when the terminal device is outside the predetermined area, the strength range of the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver when the terminal device is in the predetermined area can be pre-tested through experiments, and the strength range can be stored.

[0035] Therefore, when the caregiver carries the terminal device for inspection, it can be determined whether the terminal device is in the predetermined area based on the wireless communication strength detected by the terminal device and the stored strength range. Since the terminal device is carried by the caregiver, if the terminal device is in the predetermined area, it means that the caregiver carrying the terminal device has entered the predetermined area; conversely, if the terminal device is outside the predetermined area, it means that the caregiver carrying the terminal device has not entered the predetermined area.

[0036] In a possible implementation, step S130 may include:

[0037] Determining whether the wireless communication strength falls within a predetermined range;

[0038] If it is determined that the wireless communication strength falls within the predetermined range, it is determined that the user has entered the predetermined area; and

[0039] If it is determined that the wireless communication strength does not fall within the predetermined range, it is determined that the user has not entered the predetermined area.

[0040] In this embodiment, the predetermined range corresponds to the above-mentioned strength range. The terminal device can determine whether the caregiver has entered the predetermined area according to whether the detected wireless communication strength falls within the strength range.

[0041] In step S150, based on the result of the determination, a patrol signal indicating whether the user has patrolled the predetermined area is sent to the server.

[0042] In this embodiment, the server can perform wireless communication and / or wired communication with the terminal device. If it is determined in step S130 that the caregiver has entered the predetermined area, a patrol signal indicating that the caregiver has patrolled the predetermined area is sent to the server; and if it is determined in step S130 that the caregiver has not entered the predetermined area, a patrol signal indicating that the caregiver has not patrolled the predetermined area is sent to the server.

[0043] In the patrol monitoring method disclosed in the present invention, the terminal device detects the wireless communication strength between itself and the wireless transceiver installed in the predetermined area, determines whether the caregiver carrying the terminal device has entered the predetermined area based on the detected wireless communication strength, and sends a patrol signal indicating whether the caregiver has patrolled the predetermined area to the server based on the judgment result. Since the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver installed in the predetermined area can accurately reflect the patrol situation of the caregiver with respect to the predetermined area, the terminal device can accurately confirm the patrol situation of the caregiver with respect to the predetermined area based on the detected wireless communication strength. Compared with the prior art of confirming the patrol situation of the caregiver through the manual sign-in of the caregiver, this method can effectively prevent the caregiver from falsifying information.

[0044] In a possible implementation, the patrol monitoring method may further include:

[0045] If it is determined that the user has entered the predetermined area, then the user's stay time from the time the user enters the predetermined area to the time the user leaves the predetermined area is detected,

[0046] According to the result of the judgment, sending a patrol signal indicating whether the user has patrolled the predetermined area to the server includes:

[0047] If the stay time period exceeds the predetermined time period, sending a patrol signal to the server indicating that the user has patrolled the predetermined area normally; and

[0048] If the stay time period does not exceed the predetermined time period, a patrol signal indicating that the user has abnormally patrolled the predetermined area is sent to the server,

[0049] The stay time period is a time period from when the wireless communication strength falls within a threshold range to when the wireless communication strength falls outside the threshold range.

[0050] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned stay time period is the stay time period of the caregiver in the predetermined area. The normal inspection of the predetermined area by the caregiver may refer to the caregiver entering the predetermined area and staying in the predetermined area for a predetermined period of time. Correspondingly, the abnormal inspection of the predetermined area by the caregiver may refer to the caregiver entering the predetermined area but staying in the predetermined area for a period of time shorter than the predetermined period of time. Therefore, the terminal device can more accurately confirm the inspection of the caregiver on the predetermined area according to the detected wireless communication strength and the detected stay time period.

[0051] In a possible implementation, the patrol monitoring method may further include:

[0052] If it is determined that the user has entered the predetermined area, detecting a stay time period from when the user enters the predetermined area to when the user leaves the predetermined area;

[0053] receiving information of a person living in the predetermined area input by the user; and

[0054] sending the stay time period and the information to the server,

[0055] The stay time period is a time period from when the wireless communication strength falls within a threshold range to when the wireless communication strength falls outside the threshold range.

[0056] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned stay time period is the stay time period of the caregiver in the predetermined area. The caregiver can input the information of the object living in the predetermined area through the terminal device, and the information of the object living in the predetermined area includes but is not limited to health information, medical information, medicine information, etc., and the information can be in various forms such as text, audio, and video.

[0057] Therefore, the terminal device can send the detected stay time period and object information to the server, whereby the server can perform statistical analysis on the stay time period and object information received from the terminal device, and send the statistical analysis results to the PC terminal in the monitoring room of the community elderly care, the terminal carried by the manager who supervises the caregivers, and the terminal carried by the family members of the objects in the community elderly care through the network, so that the monitoring room, the manager and the family members of the objects can timely understand the caregivers' patrol situations of the predetermined areas and the current information of the objects.

[0058] In a possible implementation, the patrol monitoring method may further include:

[0059] Associating the wireless transceivers installed in each predetermined area with the objects living in each predetermined area in advance, and recording the association relationship between each wireless transceiver and each object;

[0060] Searching for wireless transceivers near the terminal device;

[0061] Establishing a connection with the searched wireless transceiver;

[0062] Determining whether the wireless transceiver to which the terminal device is connected is recorded in the association relationship;

[0063] If it is determined that the wireless transceiver connected to the terminal device is recorded in the association relationship, the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver connected to the terminal device is detected.

[0064] In this embodiment, the terminal device may pre-store the association relationship between the wireless transceivers installed in each predetermined area and the objects living in the predetermined area. Exemplarily, the terminal device may pre-store a table that associates the identification information of the wireless transceiver with the identification information of the object, wherein the identification information of the wireless transceiver includes but is not limited to the MAC address of the wireless transceiver, etc., and the identification information of the object includes but is not limited to the household number of the predetermined area where the object lives, the ID number of the object, the name, etc. In one implementation, the terminal device may send the association relationship to the server so that the server can perform statistical analysis.

[0065] Since the terminal device may establish a wireless connection with a wireless transceiver installed in an area that is not corresponding to the object to be monitored, and the caregiver only needs to inspect the object to be monitored and does not need to inspect the object not to be monitored, the terminal device needs to determine whether the wireless transceiver with which it establishes a wireless connection is a wireless transceiver installed in the area corresponding to the object to be monitored, and only when the wireless transceiver with which the terminal device establishes a wireless connection is a wireless transceiver installed in the area corresponding to the object to be monitored, the terminal device executes the wireless connection. Figure 1The patrol monitoring method of the present disclosure shown can effectively prevent the terminal device from performing unnecessary actions.

[0066] In one implementation, the terminal device may obtain identification information of a wireless transceiver with which a wireless connection is established; and traverse a stored table that associates identification information of the wireless transceiver with identification information of an object based on the identification information; if the obtained identification information is traversed, it is determined that the wireless transceiver is a wireless transceiver installed in an area corresponding to the object to be monitored; otherwise, it is determined that the wireless transceiver is not a wireless transceiver installed in an area corresponding to the object to be monitored.

[0067] In a possible implementation, the patrol monitoring method may further include:

[0068] According to the detected wireless communication strength, determining whether the object corresponding to the wireless transceiver connected to the terminal device has opened the door corresponding to the predetermined area where the wireless transceiver is located;

[0069] Counting the number of times that the object corresponding to the wireless transceiver connected to the terminal device does not open the door corresponding to the predetermined area where the wireless transceiver is located within a predetermined time period;

[0070] If the number exceeds a threshold, an alarm signal is sent indicating that the object corresponding to the wireless transceiver to which the terminal device is connected is abnormal.

[0071] In this embodiment, since the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver is related to whether the door corresponding to the predetermined area where the wireless transceiver is installed is opened, and the value of the wireless communication strength when the door is opened is greater than the value when the door is not opened, the strength range of the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver when the door is opened can be pre-tested through experiments, and the strength range can be stored. Therefore, when the caregiver carries the terminal device for inspection, it can be determined whether the door is opened based on the wireless communication strength detected by the terminal device and the stored strength range.

[0072] Under normal circumstances, when a caregiver carries a terminal device to patrol the predetermined area, the people living in the predetermined area should open the door. Therefore, if the number of times the person does not open the door exceeds the threshold within the predetermined time period, it means that the person may be abnormal, such as sudden danger or getting lost.

[0073] In the event that an abnormality occurs to a subject living in a predetermined area, the terminal device can send an alarm signal to a PC terminal in the monitoring room, a terminal carried by a manager who supervises the caregiver, a terminal carried by family members of subjects in community care, a server, etc., so that the abnormality can be discovered and notified in time, and the abnormality can be handled accordingly in time, such as promptly notifying medical staff to provide medical assistance to subjects with abnormal conditions.

[0074] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a patrol monitoring method according to an exemplary embodiment, which can be applied to a wireless transceiver. The patrol monitoring method disclosed in the present invention can be applied to institutions including but not limited to community elderly care, hospital elderly care, nursing homes, elderly apartments, etc. that require patrols. For a detailed description of community elderly care, please refer to the previous article on Figure 1 For the convenience of explanation, the patrol monitoring method disclosed in the present invention is described in detail below by taking the application of the patrol monitoring method to community elderly care as an example.

[0075] In the scenario where the patrol monitoring method is applied to community elderly care, the community includes multiple households, and each household that needs to be monitored should be equipped with a wireless transceiver with wireless transmission and reception functions, and the users who conduct patrols, such as caregivers, carry terminal devices that can communicate wirelessly with the wireless transceivers installed in each household. The users involved in community elderly care include but are not limited to the objects of community elderly care - the elderly, the objects' families, patrolling caregivers, and managers who supervise the caregivers.

[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, the patrol monitoring method may include the following steps.

[0077] In step S210, the wireless communication strength between the wireless transceiver and the terminal device carried by the user is detected.

[0078] In this embodiment, the wireless transceiver installed in each predetermined area can communicate wirelessly with the terminal device carried by the user. The terminal device includes but is not limited to: a mobile phone, a mobile Internet device (English: Mobile Internet Device, abbreviated as: MID), a personal digital assistant (English: Personal Digital Assistant, abbreviated as: PDA), a notebook, etc. The predetermined area may correspond to the indoors of each household that needs to be monitored, such as the inside of each household's door. When the caregiver carries the terminal device to inspect each household that needs to be monitored in the community, the wireless transceiver can detect the wireless communication strength between itself and the terminal device.

[0079] In step S230, it is determined whether the user enters a predetermined area where the wireless transceiver is installed according to the wireless communication strength.

[0080] In this embodiment, since the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver is related to whether the terminal device is in the predetermined area where the wireless transceiver is installed, and the value of the wireless communication strength when the terminal device is in the predetermined area is greater than the value when the terminal device is outside the predetermined area, the strength range of the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver when the terminal device is in the predetermined area can be pre-tested through experiments, and the strength range can be stored.

[0081] Therefore, when the caregiver carries the terminal device for inspection, it can be determined whether the terminal device is in the predetermined area according to the wireless communication strength detected by the wireless transceiver and the stored strength range. Since the terminal device is carried by the caregiver, if the terminal device is in the predetermined area, it means that the caregiver carrying the terminal device has entered the predetermined area; conversely, if the terminal device is outside the predetermined area, it means that the caregiver carrying the terminal device has not entered the predetermined area.

[0082] In a possible implementation, step S230 may include:

[0083] Determining whether the wireless communication strength falls within a predetermined range;

[0084] If it is determined that the wireless communication strength falls within the predetermined range, it is determined that the user has entered the predetermined area; and

[0085] If it is determined that the wireless communication strength does not fall within the predetermined range, it is determined that the user has not entered the predetermined area.

[0086] In this embodiment, the predetermined range corresponds to the above-mentioned strength range. The wireless transceiver can determine whether the caregiver has entered the predetermined area according to whether the detected wireless communication strength falls within the strength range.

[0087] In step S250, based on the result of the determination, a patrol signal is sent to the server to indicate whether the user has patrolled the predetermined area.

[0088] In this embodiment, the server can perform wireless communication and / or wired communication with the wireless transceiver. If it is determined in step S230 that the caregiver has entered the predetermined area, a patrol signal indicating that the caregiver has inspected the predetermined area is sent to the server; and if it is determined in step S230 that the caregiver has not entered the predetermined area, a patrol signal indicating that the caregiver has not inspected the predetermined area is sent to the server.

[0089] In the patrol monitoring method disclosed in the present invention, the wireless transceiver detects the wireless communication strength between itself and the terminal device carried by the caregiver, determines whether the caregiver has entered the predetermined area based on the detected wireless communication strength, and sends a patrol signal indicating whether the caregiver has patrolled the predetermined area to the server based on the judgment result. Since the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver installed in the predetermined area can accurately reflect the patrol situation of the caregiver with respect to the predetermined area, the wireless transceiver can accurately confirm the patrol situation of the caregiver with respect to the predetermined area based on the detected wireless communication strength. Compared with the prior art of confirming the patrol situation of the caregiver through the manual sign-in of the caregiver, this method can effectively prevent the caregiver from falsifying information.

[0090] In a possible implementation, the patrol monitoring method may further include:

[0091] If it is determined that the user has entered the predetermined area, then the user's stay time from the time the user enters the predetermined area to the time the user leaves the predetermined area is detected,

[0092] According to the result of the judgment, sending a patrol signal indicating whether the user has patrolled the predetermined area to the server includes:

[0093] If the stay time period exceeds the predetermined time period, sending a patrol signal to the server indicating that the user has patrolled the predetermined area normally; and

[0094] If the stay time period does not exceed the predetermined time period, a patrol signal indicating that the user has abnormally patrolled the predetermined area is sent to the server,

[0095] The stay time period is a time period from when the wireless communication strength falls within a threshold range to when the wireless communication strength falls outside the threshold range.

[0096] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned stay time period is the stay time period of the caregiver in the predetermined area. The normal inspection of the predetermined area by the caregiver may refer to the caregiver entering the predetermined area and staying in the predetermined area for a predetermined period of time. Correspondingly, the abnormal inspection of the predetermined area by the caregiver may refer to the caregiver entering the predetermined area but staying in the predetermined area for a period of time shorter than the predetermined period of time. Therefore, the wireless transceiver can more accurately confirm the inspection of the caregiver on the predetermined area according to the detected wireless communication strength and the detected stay time period.

[0097] In a possible implementation, the patrol monitoring method may further include:

[0098] determining, based on the detected wireless communication strength, whether the object corresponding to the predetermined area opens a door in the predetermined area;

[0099] Counting the number of times the object fails to open the door within a predetermined time period;

[0100] If the number exceeds a threshold, an alarm signal indicating that the object is abnormal is sent.

[0101] In this embodiment, since the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver is related to whether the door corresponding to the predetermined area where the wireless transceiver is installed is opened, and the value of the wireless communication strength when the door is opened is greater than the value when the door is not opened, the strength range of the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver when the door is opened can be pre-tested through experiments, and the strength range can be stored. Therefore, when the caregiver carries the terminal device for inspection, it can be determined whether the door is opened based on the wireless communication strength detected by the wireless transceiver and the stored strength range.

[0102] Under normal circumstances, when a caregiver carries a terminal device to patrol the predetermined area, the people living in the predetermined area should open the door. Therefore, if the number of times the person does not open the door exceeds the threshold within the predetermined time period, it means that the person may be abnormal, such as sudden danger or getting lost.

[0103] In the event that an abnormality occurs to a subject living in a predetermined area, the wireless transceiver can send an alarm signal to a PC terminal in the monitoring room, a terminal carried by a manager who supervises the caregiver, a terminal carried by the family members of the subject in the community care, a server, etc., so that the abnormality can be discovered and notified in time, and the abnormality can be handled accordingly in time, such as notifying medical staff in time to provide medical assistance to the subject in the abnormality.

[0104] Figure 3 is a block diagram of a terminal device according to an exemplary embodiment. The terminal device of the present disclosure can be applied to institutions that need to be inspected, including but not limited to community elderly care, hospital elderly care, nursing homes, elderly apartments, etc. For the convenience of explanation, the following takes the application of the terminal device to community elderly care as an example to elaborate on the terminal device of the present disclosure in detail.

[0105] Community-based elderly care refers to a home-based elderly care service system that takes the family as the core, the community as the support, and the daily care, life care, and housekeeping services of the elderly as the main contents, and introduces the professional service methods of elderly care institutions. Community-based elderly care is to introduce the services of institutional elderly care into the community and implement community-based home-based elderly care.

[0106] In the scenario where the terminal device is applied to community elderly care, the community includes multiple households, and each household that needs to be monitored should be equipped with a wireless transceiver with wireless transmission and reception functions, and the users who conduct patrols, such as caregivers, carry terminal devices that can communicate wirelessly with the wireless transceivers installed in each household. The users involved in community elderly care include but are not limited to the objects of community elderly care - the elderly, the objects' families, patrolling caregivers, and managers who supervise the caregivers.

[0107] like Figure 3 As shown, the terminal device may include a detection module 310 , a judgment module 330 and a sending module 350 .

[0108] The detection module 310 is used to detect the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver installed in the predetermined area.

[0109] In this embodiment, the predetermined area may correspond to the indoor areas of each household to be monitored, such as the inside of each household's door. When the caregiver carries the terminal device to inspect each household to be monitored in the community, the detection module 310 detects the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver installed in each household to be monitored.

[0110] The judgment module 330 is connected to the detection module 310 and is used to judge whether the user carrying the terminal device enters the predetermined area according to the wireless communication strength.

[0111] In this embodiment, since the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver is related to whether the terminal device is in the predetermined area where the wireless transceiver is installed, and the value of the wireless communication strength when the terminal device is in the predetermined area is greater than the value when the terminal device is outside the predetermined area, the strength range of the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver when the terminal device is in the predetermined area can be pre-tested through experiments, and the strength range can be stored.

[0112] Therefore, when the caregiver carries the terminal device for inspection, the judgment module 330 can judge whether the terminal device is in the predetermined area according to the wireless communication strength detected by the terminal device and the stored strength range. Since the terminal device is carried by the caregiver, if the terminal device is in the predetermined area, it means that the caregiver carrying the terminal device has entered the predetermined area; conversely, if the terminal device is outside the predetermined area, it means that the caregiver carrying the terminal device has not entered the predetermined area.

[0113] In a possible implementation, the determination module 330 is configured to:

[0114] Determining whether the wireless communication strength falls within a predetermined range;

[0115] If it is determined that the wireless communication strength falls within the predetermined range, it is determined that the user has entered the predetermined area; and

[0116] If it is determined that the wireless communication strength does not fall within the predetermined range, it is determined that the user has not entered the predetermined area.

[0117] In this embodiment, the predetermined range corresponds to the above-mentioned strength range. The terminal device can determine whether the caregiver has entered the predetermined area according to whether the detected wireless communication strength falls within the strength range.

[0118] The sending module 350 is connected to the judging module 330 and is used to send a patrol signal indicating whether the user has patrolled the predetermined area to the server according to the result of the judgment.

[0119] In this embodiment, the server can perform wireless communication and / or wired communication with the terminal device. If the judgment module 330 determines that the caregiver has entered the predetermined area, the sending module 350 sends a patrol signal to the server indicating that the caregiver has inspected the predetermined area; and if the judgment module 330 determines that the caregiver has not entered the predetermined area, the sending module 350 sends a patrol signal to the server indicating that the caregiver has not inspected the predetermined area.

[0120] The terminal device of the present invention detects the wireless communication strength between itself and the wireless transceiver installed in the predetermined area, determines whether the caregiver carrying the terminal device has entered the predetermined area based on the detected wireless communication strength, and sends a patrol signal indicating whether the caregiver has patrolled the predetermined area to the server based on the judgment result. Since the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver installed in the predetermined area can accurately reflect the patrol situation of the caregiver with respect to the predetermined area, the terminal device can accurately confirm the patrol situation of the caregiver with respect to the predetermined area based on the detected wireless communication strength. Compared with the prior art of confirming the patrol situation of the caregiver through manual sign-in of the caregiver, this can effectively prevent the caregiver from falsifying information.

[0121] In one possible implementation,

[0122] The detection module 310 is further configured to: if the judgment module 330 judges that the user has entered the predetermined area, detect the stay time period from when the user enters the predetermined area to when the user leaves the predetermined area,

[0123] The sending module 350 is configured to: if the stay time period exceeds the predetermined time period, send a patrol signal to the server indicating that the user has patrolled the predetermined area normally; and if the stay time period does not exceed the predetermined time period, send a patrol signal to the server indicating that the user has patrolled the predetermined area abnormally.

[0124] The stay time period is a time period from when the wireless communication strength falls within a threshold range to when the wireless communication strength falls outside the threshold range.

[0125] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned stay time period is the stay time period of the caregiver in the predetermined area. The normal inspection of the predetermined area by the caregiver may refer to the caregiver entering the predetermined area and staying in the predetermined area for a predetermined period of time. Correspondingly, the abnormal inspection of the predetermined area by the caregiver may refer to the caregiver entering the predetermined area but staying in the predetermined area for a period of time shorter than the predetermined period of time. Therefore, the terminal device can more accurately confirm the inspection of the caregiver on the predetermined area according to the detected wireless communication strength and the detected stay time period.

[0126] In one possible implementation,

[0127] The detection module 310 is further configured to: if the judgment module 330 judges that the user has entered the predetermined area, detect a stay time period from when the user enters the predetermined area to when the user leaves the predetermined area;

[0128] The terminal device further includes:

[0129] a receiving module (not shown), configured to receive information of an object living in the predetermined area input by the user,

[0130] The sending module 350 is further used to send the stay time period and the information to the server.

[0131] The stay time period is a time period from when the wireless communication strength falls within a threshold range to when the wireless communication strength falls outside the threshold range.

[0132] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned stay time period is the stay time period of the caregiver in the predetermined area. The caregiver can input the information of the object living in the predetermined area through the terminal device, and the information of the object living in the predetermined area includes but is not limited to health information, medical information, medicine information, etc., and the information can be in various forms such as text, audio, and video.

[0133] Therefore, the terminal device can send the detected stay time period and object information to the server, whereby the server can perform statistical analysis on the stay time period and object information received from the terminal device, and send the statistical analysis results to the PC terminal in the monitoring room of the community elderly care, the terminal carried by the manager who supervises the caregivers, and the terminal carried by the family members of the objects in the community elderly care through the network, so that the monitoring room, the manager and the family members of the objects can timely understand the caregivers' patrol situations of the predetermined areas and the current information of the objects.

[0134] In a possible implementation, the method further includes:

[0135] A storage module (not shown) for pre-associating the wireless transceivers installed in each predetermined area with the objects living in each predetermined area, and recording the association relationship between each wireless transceiver and each object;

[0136] A search module (not shown), configured to search for a wireless transceiver near the terminal device; and

[0137] A connection module (not shown) is used to establish a connection with the searched wireless transceiver.

[0138] The determination module 330 is further configured to determine whether the wireless transceiver to which the terminal device is connected is recorded in the association relationship;

[0139] The detection module 310 is further configured to: if the determination module 330 determines that the wireless transceiver connected to the terminal device is recorded in the association relationship, detect the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver connected to the terminal device.

[0140] In this embodiment, the storage module may pre-store the association relationship between the wireless transceivers installed in each predetermined area and the objects living in the predetermined area. Exemplarily, the storage module may pre-store a table that associates the identification information of the wireless transceiver with the identification information of the object, wherein the identification information of the wireless transceiver includes but is not limited to the MAC address of the wireless transceiver, etc., and the identification information of the object includes but is not limited to the household number of the predetermined area where the object lives, the ID number of the object, the name, etc. In one implementation, the sending module 350 may send the association relationship to the server so that the server can perform statistical analysis.

[0141] Since the terminal device may establish a wireless connection with a wireless transceiver installed in an area that is not corresponding to the object to be monitored, and the caregiver only needs to inspect the object to be monitored and does not need to inspect the object not to be monitored, the terminal device needs to determine whether the wireless transceiver with which it establishes a wireless connection is a wireless transceiver installed in the area corresponding to the object to be monitored, and only when the wireless transceiver with which the terminal device establishes a wireless connection is a wireless transceiver installed in the area corresponding to the object to be monitored, the terminal device executes the wireless connection. Figure 1 The patrol monitoring method of the present disclosure shown can effectively prevent the terminal device from performing unnecessary actions.

[0142] In one implementation, the terminal device may obtain identification information of a wireless transceiver with which a wireless connection is established; and traverse a stored table that associates identification information of the wireless transceiver with identification information of an object based on the identification information; if the obtained identification information is traversed, it is determined that the wireless transceiver is a wireless transceiver installed in an area corresponding to the object to be monitored; otherwise, it is determined that the wireless transceiver is not a wireless transceiver installed in an area corresponding to the object to be monitored.

[0143] In a possible implementation, the patrol monitoring method may further include:

[0144] a determination module (not shown), configured to determine, based on the detected wireless communication strength, whether the object corresponding to the wireless transceiver to which the terminal device is connected has opened a door in a predetermined area where the wireless transceiver is located; and

[0145] a statistical module (not shown), configured to count the number of times that the object corresponding to the wireless transceiver to which the terminal device is connected does not open the door in the predetermined area where the wireless transceiver is located within a predetermined time period,

[0146] The sending module 350 is further configured to send an alarm signal indicating that an object corresponding to the wireless transceiver to which the terminal device is connected is abnormal if the number of times exceeds a threshold.

[0147] In this embodiment, since the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver is related to whether the door corresponding to the predetermined area where the wireless transceiver is installed is opened, and the value of the wireless communication strength when the door is opened is greater than the value when the door is not opened, the strength range of the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver when the door is opened can be pre-tested through experiments, and the strength range can be stored. Therefore, when the caregiver carries the terminal device for inspection, it can be determined whether the door is opened based on the wireless communication strength detected by the detection module 310 and the strength range stored in the storage module.

[0148] Under normal circumstances, when a caregiver carries a terminal device to patrol the predetermined area, the people living in the predetermined area should open the door. Therefore, if the number of times the person does not open the door exceeds the threshold within the predetermined time period, it means that the person may be abnormal, such as sudden danger or getting lost.

[0149] In the event that an abnormality occurs to a subject living in a predetermined area, the sending module 350 can send an alarm signal to a PC terminal in the monitoring room, a terminal carried by a manager who supervises the caregiver, a terminal carried by family members of subjects in community care, a server, etc., so that the abnormality can be discovered and notified in time, and the abnormality can be handled accordingly in time, such as promptly notifying medical staff to provide medical assistance to subjects with abnormal conditions.

[0150] Figure 4 is a block diagram of a wireless transceiver according to an exemplary embodiment. The wireless transceiver disclosed in the present invention can be applied to institutions that need to be inspected, including but not limited to community elderly care, hospital elderly care, nursing homes, elderly apartments, etc. For a detailed description of community elderly care, please refer to the previous article on Figure 1 For the convenience of explanation, the wireless transceiver disclosed in the present invention is described in detail below by taking the application of the wireless transceiver in community elderly care as an example.

[0151] In the scenario where the wireless transceiver is applied to community elderly care, the community includes multiple households, and the wireless transceiver disclosed in the present disclosure should be installed in each household that needs to be monitored, and the user who conducts the inspection, such as a caregiver, carries a terminal device that can wirelessly communicate with the wireless transceiver installed in each household. The users involved in community elderly care include but are not limited to the objects of community elderly care - the elderly, the objects' family members, the caregivers who conduct inspections, and the managers who supervise the caregivers.

[0152] like Figure 4 As shown, the wireless transceiver may include a detection module 410 , a judgment module 430 and a sending module 450 .

[0153] The detection module 410 is used to detect the wireless communication strength between the wireless transceiver and the terminal device carried by the user.

[0154] In this embodiment, the wireless transceiver installed in each predetermined area can communicate wirelessly with the terminal device carried by the user. The terminal device includes but is not limited to: a mobile phone, a mobile Internet device (English: Mobile Internet Device, abbreviated as: MID), a personal digital assistant (English: Personal Digital Assistant, abbreviated as: PDA), a notebook, etc. The predetermined area may correspond to the indoors of each household that needs to be monitored, such as the inside of each household's door. When the caregiver carries the terminal device to inspect each household that needs to be monitored in the community, the detection module 410 can detect the wireless communication strength between itself and the terminal device.

[0155] The judgment module 430 is connected to the detection module 410 and is used to judge whether the user enters a predetermined area where the wireless transceiver is installed according to the wireless communication strength.

[0156] In this embodiment, since the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver is related to whether the terminal device is in the predetermined area where the wireless transceiver is installed, and the value of the wireless communication strength when the terminal device is in the predetermined area is greater than the value when the terminal device is outside the predetermined area, the strength range of the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver when the terminal device is in the predetermined area can be pre-tested through experiments, and the strength range can be stored.

[0157] Therefore, when the caregiver carries the terminal device for inspection, the judgment module 430 can judge whether the terminal device is in the predetermined area according to the wireless communication strength detected by the detection module 410 and the strength range stored by the wireless transceiver. Since the terminal device is carried by the caregiver, if the terminal device is in the predetermined area, it means that the caregiver carrying the terminal device has entered the predetermined area; on the contrary, if the terminal device is outside the predetermined area, it means that the caregiver carrying the terminal device has not entered the predetermined area.

[0158] In a possible implementation, the determination module 430 may be configured as follows:

[0159] Determining whether the wireless communication strength falls within a predetermined range;

[0160] If it is determined that the wireless communication strength falls within the predetermined range, it is determined that the user has entered the predetermined area; and

[0161] If it is determined that the wireless communication strength does not fall within the predetermined range, it is determined that the user has not entered the predetermined area.

[0162] In this embodiment, the predetermined range corresponds to the above-mentioned strength range. The determination module 430 can determine whether the caregiver has entered the predetermined area according to whether the wireless communication strength detected by the detection module 410 falls within the strength range.

[0163] The sending module 450 is connected to the judging module 430 and is used to send a patrol signal indicating whether the user has patrolled the predetermined area to the server according to the result of the judgment.

[0164] In this embodiment, the server can perform wireless communication and / or wired communication with the wireless transceiver. If the judgment module 430 determines that the caregiver has entered the predetermined area, the sending module 450 sends a patrol signal to the server indicating that the caregiver has inspected the predetermined area; and if the judgment module 430 determines that the caregiver has not entered the predetermined area, the sending module 450 sends a patrol signal to the server indicating that the caregiver has not inspected the predetermined area.

[0165] The wireless transceiver disclosed in the present invention detects the wireless communication strength between itself and the terminal device carried by the caregiver, determines whether the caregiver has entered the predetermined area according to the detected wireless communication strength, and sends a patrol signal indicating whether the caregiver has patrolled the predetermined area to the server according to the judgment result. Since the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver installed in the predetermined area can accurately reflect the patrol situation of the caregiver with respect to the predetermined area, the wireless transceiver can accurately confirm the patrol situation of the caregiver with respect to the predetermined area according to the detected wireless communication strength. Compared with the prior art of confirming the patrol situation of the caregiver through the manual sign-in of the caregiver, this can effectively prevent the caregiver from falsifying information.

[0166] In one possible implementation,

[0167] The detection module 410 is further configured to: if the judgment module 430 judges that the user has entered the predetermined area, detect a stay time period from when the user enters the predetermined area to when the user leaves the predetermined area,

[0168] The sending module 450 is configured to: if the stay time period exceeds the predetermined time period, send a patrol signal to the server indicating that the user has normally patrolled the predetermined area; and if the stay time period does not exceed the predetermined time period, send a patrol signal to the server indicating that the user has abnormally patrolled the predetermined area.

[0169] The stay time period is a time period from when the wireless communication strength falls within a threshold range to when the wireless communication strength falls outside the threshold range.

[0170] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned stay time period is the stay time period of the caregiver in the predetermined area. The normal inspection of the predetermined area by the caregiver may refer to the caregiver entering the predetermined area and staying in the predetermined area for a predetermined period of time. Correspondingly, the abnormal inspection of the predetermined area by the caregiver may refer to the caregiver entering the predetermined area but staying in the predetermined area for a period of time shorter than the predetermined period of time. Therefore, the wireless transceiver can more accurately confirm the inspection of the caregiver on the predetermined area according to the detected wireless communication strength and the detected stay time period.

[0171] In a possible implementation, the wireless transceiver may further include:

[0172] a determination module (not shown), configured to determine whether the object corresponding to the predetermined area has opened a door in the predetermined area according to the detected wireless communication strength;

[0173] a statistics module (not shown), configured to count the number of times the object fails to open the door within a predetermined time period,

[0174] The sending module 450 is further configured to send an alarm signal indicating that the object is abnormal if the number of times exceeds a threshold.

[0175] In this embodiment, since the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver is related to whether the door corresponding to the predetermined area where the wireless transceiver is installed is opened, and the value of the wireless communication strength when the door is opened is greater than the value when the door is not opened, the strength range of the wireless communication strength between the terminal device and the wireless transceiver when the door is opened can be pre-tested through experiments, and the strength range can be stored. Therefore, when the caregiver carries the terminal device for inspection, the determination module can determine whether the door is opened based on the wireless communication strength detected by the detection module 410 and the stored strength range.

[0176] Under normal circumstances, when a caregiver carries a terminal device to patrol the predetermined area, the people living in the predetermined area should open the door. Therefore, if the number of times the person does not open the door exceeds the threshold within the predetermined time period, it means that the person may be abnormal, such as sudden danger or getting lost.

[0177] In the event that an abnormality occurs to a subject living in a predetermined area, the wireless transceiver can send an alarm signal to a PC terminal in the monitoring room, a terminal carried by a manager who supervises the caregiver, a terminal carried by the family members of the subject in the community care, a server, etc., so that the abnormality can be discovered and notified in time, and the abnormality can be handled accordingly in time, such as notifying medical staff in time to provide medical assistance to the subject in the abnormality.
