[0035] See also Figure 1 , a whole-house life perception monitoring and analysis system for elderly people living alone, including a user terminal and a monitoring platform, wherein the user terminal is used for the user to interact with the system and is connected to the monitoring platform through a network;
[0036] User terminals include PC browsers, mobile applets, and smart terminal apps;
[0037] Through the PC browser, users can intuitively see the real-time status of the entire house of elderly people living alone, including data collected by various sensors. These data are presented through a graphical interface to help users quickly understand the living conditions and potential risks of elderly people living alone. Users can view the real-time status of elderly people living alone anytime and anywhere through the mobile app. The app provides a simple and clear interface and convenient operation method, allowing users to keep abreast of the latest developments of elderly people living alone and take corresponding measures when necessary. The smart terminal APP not only provides real-time data viewing functions, but also supports historical data analysis, abnormal alarm push and other functions. Users can receive early warning information issued by the system through the APP and take timely measures to ensure the safety of elderly people living alone;
[0038] The monitoring platform includes a life perception monitoring module, an abnormality assessment module and an alarm module. The life perception monitoring module includes a control unit, a behavior monitoring unit, a position monitoring unit and a body monitoring unit. The control unit is connected to the behavior monitoring unit, the position monitoring unit and the body monitoring unit through a network respectively. The behavior monitoring unit is used to obtain the behavior data of the elderly living alone and form a behavior data set with multiple data. The position monitoring unit is used to obtain the position data of the elderly living alone and form a position data set with multiple position data. The body monitoring unit is used to obtain the body data of the elderly living alone and form a body data set with multiple body data. The life perception monitoring module is connected to the abnormality assessment module through a network.
[0039] The control unit controls the area by connecting multiple sets of sensors through the network. The multiple sets of sensors include multiple sets of millimeter wave radar sensors, multiple sets of infrared thermal imaging sensors, and multiple sets of smart cameras.
[0040] Multiple millimeter-wave radar sensors are installed in the center of the living room, bedroom corners, corridors, and aisles to detect human movement by transmitting and receiving radio waves;
[0041] Multiple infrared thermal imaging sensors are installed in the center of the living room, in the corners of the bedroom, at the head of the bed, and beside the bed. They generate temperature distribution images by measuring infrared radiation on the human body surface.
[0042] Multiple smart cameras are installed in the center of the living room, bedroom corners, doorways and windows to monitor the behavior of elderly people living alone in real time through image recognition technology;

[0044] The combination of millimeter-wave radar sensors and smart cameras in the evaluation of abnormal human behavior has significantly improved the safety and reliability of the system. This combination takes advantage of the complementary advantages of the two sensors, making the monitoring system more comprehensive and accurate. Millimeter-wave radar sensors can accurately measure the distance, speed and angle of the target, and distinguish between people and non-human objects. This high-precision monitoring capability enables the system to quickly identify abnormal behavior. At the same time, millimeter-wave radar is not affected by external environmental factors such as light, heat, fog, smoke, and dust, and has strong anti-interference ability and good environmental adaptability. These characteristics enable millimeter-wave radar to work stably in various complex environments, providing reliable data support for the evaluation of abnormal human behavior;

[0048] Infrared thermal imaging technology can achieve long-distance, non-contact body temperature measurement, avoiding direct contact between people in traditional temperature measurement methods, thereby reducing the risk of cross-infection. This is especially important for home-based elderly people who need to monitor their body temperature for a long time because they may be more susceptible to infection;
[0049] The anomaly assessment module performs an anomaly assessment based on the received data, and sends a signal to the alarm module if an anomaly is found in the assessment;
[0050] Abnormal assessment includes abnormal human behavior assessment, abnormal human position assessment, and abnormal human temperature value assessment. The calculation formula for abnormal human behavior assessment is:
[0051]
[0052] In the calculation formula, XWyc represents the abnormal evaluation value of human behavior, XWsj i represents the i-th behavior data, XWsj max +XW max-1 +XW max-2 +···+XWsj max-4 Represents the total value of the 5 largest movement data in the behavior dataset. Represents the mean of the five largest movement data in the behavior data set;
[0053] The calculation formula for evaluating abnormal body position is:
[0054]
[0055] In the calculation formula, WZyc represents the human position abnormality assessment value, wqyc represents the dangerous area abnormality value in the human position abnormality assessment, V represents the number of times the dangerous area is identified, and h w represents the camera in a specific dangerous area, wwyc represents the position anomaly value in the human position anomaly assessment, Represents the human body position information captured by the last camera. Represents the human position information captured by the camera before the last camera;
[0056] The calculation formula for evaluating abnormal human body temperature is:
[0057]
[0058] In the calculation formula, RTwd represents the abnormal value of human body temperature. Represents the lowest normal human body temperature. Represents the normal maximum temperature of the human body. It means that when the human body temperature is lower than the normal minimum human body temperature or higher than the normal maximum human body temperature, it is determined that the human body temperature is abnormal;
[0059] When the human behavior abnormality assessment value is greater than the human behavior abnormality threshold, it means that there is abnormality in human behavior, and the elderly living alone may fall;
[0060] When the danger zone abnormal value in the human position abnormality assessment value is greater than the danger zone abnormal threshold, it means that there is an abnormal situation that the elderly living alone frequently enter and exit the danger zone. When the position abnormal value is greater than the position threshold, it means that the elderly living alone have left home abnormally.
[0061] By real-time monitoring and analyzing the behavior of elderly people living alone, abnormal situations such as falling and getting lost can be discovered in time, so that countermeasures can be taken quickly to ensure the safety of elderly people living alone. This efficient monitoring method can reduce the workload of nursing staff and improve care efficiency. Monitoring the body temperature of elderly people living alone can help to timely discover potential health problems, such as fever, so as to achieve early intervention and treatment. Through cross-judgment and multiple judgments, all-round and refined monitoring and intelligent response of home health care environment, vital signs, daily behavior and health management are realized. It not only improves the safety, accuracy and timeliness of elderly people living at home, but also enables them to be discovered by their guardians or guardianship organizations in emergency situations so as to obtain immediate rescue or help. It can reduce medical expenses and nursing costs caused by accidents or health problems, thereby reducing the economic burden on families and society. At the same time, this also helps to improve the quality of life and social participation of elderly people living alone.
[0062] The alarm module receives the signal and sounds an alarm.
