Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent wards, in particular to a companionless ward. Background Art

[0002] In the traditional unattended ward management model, the communication between patients and their family members is limited, which may cause patients to feel lonely and anxious, affecting the recovery process. With the development of remote communication technology, it is possible to provide a convenient way of communication between patients and their family members.

[0003] By integrating remote communication technologies such as video calls and mobile applications, real-time interaction between patients and family members can be achieved. In order to increase the recovery speed of patients and improve the quality of their living environment, the area of ​​the unaccompanied ward is larger. If you want to achieve intelligent audio interaction, you need to carry a wireless audio interaction device with you. This will not increase the comfort of patients, but will increase their loneliness. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a companionless ward to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A ward without a companion, comprising a state monitoring module, an interactive adjustment calculation module, and an interactive system, wherein the interactive system controls a plurality of audio interactive modules scattered throughout the ward to start or shut down, wherein the audio interactive module itself has a sound collection unit, a sound playback unit, and a video unit, and the state monitoring module and the interactive adjustment calculation module constitute a master control module;

[0007] Several of the audio interaction modules collect the patient's wake-up sound and transmit the data to the status monitoring module. The sound monitoring unit analyzes the sound intensity collected by the multiple audio interaction modules. The status monitoring module also includes a behavior monitoring unit and a position monitoring unit. The position monitoring unit can obtain the patient's position when awakening based on the sound intensity information collected by the multiple audio interaction modules, and obtain the patient's position based on the multiple functional areas divided by the ward. The behavior monitoring unit turns on the camera at the corresponding position based on the patient's position obtained by the position monitoring unit to obtain the patient's image. The behavior monitoring unit performs behavior recognition on the patient's image to determine whether awakening is required.

[0008] The sound feedback unit of the interactive adjustment calculation module uses the sound intensity obtained by the awakened audio interactive module as a reference and adjusts the volume of the played sound through the volume adjustment unit.

[0009] As a further solution of the present invention: the interactive adjustment calculation module also has a position judgment unit, and the position judgment unit performs a comprehensive comparison based on the sound monitoring unit, the behavior monitoring unit, and the position monitoring unit, and sends a wake-up instruction to the interactive system.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention: the sound collection unit of the audio interaction module is always in an on state, and the position monitoring unit always obtains the patient's location based on the sound intensity information collected by the audio interaction module, so that when the caregiver actively communicates, the audio interaction module closest to the patient is awakened and turned on.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: the interactive system is also provided with a wireless data transmission module, and the audio interactive module realizes three-way voice and image interaction among doctors, patients and nurses through the wireless data transmission module.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention: the audio interaction module includes a fixed type and a mobile type.

[0013] As a further solution of the present invention: the interaction adjustment calculation module is provided with a sound intensity switching threshold. When the sound intensity received by the audio interaction module in the wake-up phase is lower than the threshold, and the sound intensity received by other audio interaction modules is higher than the threshold, the audio interaction module with high receiving sound intensity is actively switched.

[0014] As a further solution of the present invention: when the position judgment unit monitors that the sound intensity received by the awakened audio interaction module is reduced and the position judgment unit detects that the patient and the awakened audio interaction module have a displacement increment, the sound feedback unit controls the broadcast volume of the volume adjustment unit to increase.

[0015] How to use this room:

[0016] Patient active interaction method: The patient sends a wake-up command voice, and the sound collection units of several audio interaction modules collect the patient's voice information. Due to the location, the sound intensity collected by the audio interaction modules at different locations is different. The sound monitoring unit sorts the sound intensity collected by the audio interaction modules to obtain the audio interaction module with the highest sound intensity. The position monitoring unit obtains the functional area position of the patient's ward based on the position of the audio interaction module that collects the highest sound intensity, and the camera in the area. The behavior monitoring unit provides a behavior reference for the interaction adjustment calculation module. The interaction adjustment calculation module further screens the awakened audio interaction modules based on the information obtained by the sound monitoring unit, the behavior monitoring unit, and the position monitoring unit. After determining the audio interaction module that needs to be awakened, the broadcast volume is adjusted based on the behavior information obtained by the behavior monitoring unit in combination with the sound feedback unit and the volume adjustment unit.

The position monitoring unit obtains the functional area position of the patient's ward and the camera in the area according to the position of the audio interaction module that collects the highest sound intensity. The behavior monitoring unit provides a behavior reference for the interaction adjustment calculation module. When the position judgment unit determines that the audio interaction module cannot be awakened based on the sound monitoring unit, the behavior monitoring unit, and the position monitoring unit, the interaction is in a disconnected state. When the patient is in a connected situation, the position judgment unit wakes up the sound playback unit in the audio interaction module closest to the patient through the interactive system, and the audio interaction module is in a connected state.

[0024] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 : It includes a status monitoring module 1, an interactive adjustment calculation module 2, and an interactive system 3. The interactive system 3 controls the start or shut down of several audio interactive modules 31 scattered throughout the ward. The audio interactive module 31 itself has a sound collection unit, a sound playback unit, and a video unit. The status monitoring module 1 and the interactive adjustment calculation module 2 constitute the general control module.

[0025] In this embodiment, first, the interactive system 3 is the control end, which mainly controls multiple audio interaction modules 31 to turn on or off. The audio interaction module 31 has a display screen, a sound collection unit, a sound playback unit, and a video unit. The purpose of awakening is to turn on the display screen, the video unit, and the sound playback unit to realize network information transmission. The audio interaction modules 31 are distributed in many places in the ward, so that the patient can be awakened at any position. Compared with carrying a tablet or a mobile phone for operation, the sense of loneliness is reduced. And the active connection method is more suitable for elderly patients.

[0026] In this embodiment, several audio interaction modules 31 collect the patient's wake-up sound and transmit the data to the status monitoring module 1. The sound monitoring unit 11 analyzes the sound intensity collected by the multiple audio interaction modules 31. The status monitoring module 1 also includes a behavior monitoring unit 12 and a position monitoring unit 13. The position monitoring unit 13 can obtain the patient's location when awakening based on the sound intensity information collected by the multiple audio interaction modules 31, and obtain the patient's position based on the multiple functional areas divided by the ward. The behavior monitoring unit 12 turns on the camera at the corresponding position based on the patient's position obtained by the position monitoring unit 13 to obtain the patient's image, and the behavior monitoring unit 12 performs behavior recognition on the patient image to determine whether awakening is needed.

[0027] In this embodiment, the sound information collected by the audio interaction module 31 is transmitted to the sound monitoring unit 11. Due to the different positions of the patients, the sound intensities collected by the audio interaction modules 31 at different positions are different. People always produce sound during activities, so the sound collection unit always collects sound and analyzes the patient's position based on the sound intensity. When the caregiver actively communicates, the audio interaction module 31 closest to the patient can be turned on based on the sound intensity, and the interactive system 3 controls the opening. This method can reduce the use of electricity while maintaining a state of connectivity at all times, reducing the patient's sense of loneliness.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the patient actively wakes up, the position monitoring unit 13 includes a computer and a camera. The position monitoring unit 13 obtains the audio interaction module 31 closest to the patient based on the sound intensity analysis. The position monitoring unit 13 can obtain the patient's position when waking up based on the sound intensity information collected by multiple audio interaction modules 31. Please refer to Figure 2 The ward is divided into multiple functional areas. Based on the position of the audio interaction module 31 with the highest sound intensity, the camera of the position monitoring unit 13 collects the patient's position area image, and the behavior monitoring unit 12 obtains the patient's current behavior through computer analysis, and determines whether it is necessary to wake up the audio interaction module 31 based on the behavior. For example, when the patient is in the sleeping area and is in a sleeping state, when the nursing staff actively wakes up the patient, the behavior monitoring unit 12 collects the sleeping behavior and transmits the behavior data to the interactive adjustment calculation module 2, and the interactive adjustment calculation module 2 decides whether to transmit the wake-up instruction to the interactive system 3.

[0029] In this embodiment, the interactive adjustment calculation module 2 also has a position judgment unit 22. The position judgment unit 22 makes a comprehensive comparison based on the sound monitoring unit 11, the behavior monitoring unit 12, and the position monitoring unit 13, and sends a wake-up instruction to the interactive system 3. The sound feedback unit 21 of the interactive adjustment calculation module 2 uses the sound intensity obtained by the awakened audio interaction module 31 as a reference, and adjusts the volume of the played sound through the volume adjustment unit 23; the above describes the position determination and behavior determination of the audio interaction module 31, and the position judgment unit 22 performs a comprehensive analysis on the parameters of the sound monitoring unit 11, the behavior monitoring unit 12, and the position monitoring unit 13, obtains the nearest audio interaction module 31 through the sound monitoring unit 11, obtains the patient's fuzzy position through the position monitoring unit 13, obtains the patient's accurate position through the camera, and obtains the patient's behavior through the behavior monitoring unit 12. The position judgment unit 22 comprehensively combines information from multiple parties and selects the awakened audio interaction module 31 to place the audio interaction module 31 in a position convenient for patient interaction.

[0030] In this embodiment, and based on the above-mentioned analysis behavior, the sound monitoring unit 11 transmits the collected sound intensity to the sound feedback unit 21. The sound feedback unit 21 controls the volume adjustment unit 23 according to the patient's voice intensity, and controls the broadcast volume through the volume adjustment unit 23 to avoid excessive sound affecting the patient.

[0031] In this embodiment, the sound collection unit of the audio interaction module 31 is always in the on state, and the position monitoring unit 13 always obtains the patient's location based on the sound intensity information collected by the audio interaction module 31, so that when the caregiver actively communicates, the audio interaction module 31 closest to the patient is awakened and turned on.

[0032] In this embodiment, the interactive system 3 is also provided with a wireless data transmission module, and the audio interactive module 31 realizes three-way voice and image interaction between doctors, patients and nurses through the wireless data transmission module. This method belongs to active communication by caregivers. The caregivers actively send voice messages to the interactive system 3 through the APP. The sound collection unit of the audio interactive module 31 is always in the on state. Therefore, the position of the audio interactive module 31 closest to the patient can be accurately obtained through the position monitoring unit 13, and the camera is turned on to obtain the patient's behavior through the behavior monitoring unit 12. When the patient's behavior satisfies the audio interaction, the interactive system 3 controls the sound playback unit of the audio interactive module 31 closest to the patient to broadcast the sound.

[0033] In this embodiment, the audio interaction module 31 includes fixed and mobile types. The fixed audio interaction module 31 can be set in the bathroom, sealed and waterproofed by glass, to improve the convenience of use. The mobile audio interaction module 31 can be connected to a fixed location using a detachable embedded structure, or it can be handheld, mainly to adapt to the interaction habits of different patients.

[0034] In this embodiment, the interactive adjustment calculation module 2 is provided with a sound intensity switching threshold. When the sound intensity received by the audio interaction module 31 in the awakening stage is lower than the threshold, and the sound intensity received by other audio interaction modules 31 is higher than the threshold, the audio interaction module 31 with high sound intensity is actively switched. When the position judgment unit 22 detects that the sound intensity received by the awakened audio interaction module 31 is reduced and the position judgment unit 22 detects that the patient and the awakened audio interaction module 31 have a displacement increment, the sound feedback unit 21 controls the volume adjustment unit 23 to increase the broadcast volume. Since the patient will have subjective behavior during the communication process, in order to have better interaction, the sound intensity collection changes and displacement changes are used to switch on the audio interaction module 31 and adjust the broadcast volume, thereby generating a sense of following.
