Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of residents' lives, and particularly provides a care method and system based on water meter and door lock data for persons who require key social attention, such as the elderly, persons with sudden underlying diseases, persons with psychological abnormalities, etc. Background Art

[0002] With the progress and development of society, elderly care has become a key social concern and a people's livelihood issue closely related to every public family. At present, the main way of elderly care is still home-based elderly care. When a lonely elderly person suddenly falls ill or behaves abnormally and is not discovered in time, irreparable losses will be caused. The same problem also exists among lonely people who need attention, such as persons with sudden underlying diseases and persons with psychological abnormalities.

[0003] Currently, the main care technology for these lonely people who need attention is to conduct manual monitoring through terminal devices such as cameras, or to use the latest image AI technology for care. However, the disadvantages of this method are high investment and maintenance costs, high requirements for network conditions, and privacy problems, which are not suitable for old and dilapidated communities with a high density of lonely elderly people.

[0004] On the other hand, due to the development of the intelligent water service industry in recent years, intelligent water meters have been very popular, and the technology for remotely reading user water consumption data through wireless remote transmission technology is also very mature. In 2020, a caring move in Changning District, Shanghai attracted public attention. Jiangsu Road Sub-district in Changning District installed intelligent water meters for 6 lonely elderly people in its jurisdiction. Once the reading of the intelligent water meter is lower than 0.01 cubic meters within 12 hours, the neighborhood committee will immediately receive a signal and send a special person to visit in time. However, this method has low intelligence and flexibility, cannot distinguish whether the low water consumption is due to the household going out, has a high false alarm rate, and can only provide care for some users who are definitely unable to go out. And the time period is relatively long, and the timeliness is insufficient. Summary of the Invention

Description of the Drawings

[0013] Figure 1 It is a flowchart of the method of the present invention. Detailed Embodiments

[0014] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0015] As Figure 1 shown, the present application provides a method for caring for concerned persons based on water meter and door lock behavior data. The method includes the following steps.

[0016] Step S1, obtain the basic information of the concerned person and the housing information where they are located. The basic information of the concerned person includes name, ID number, gender, age, and health status, and the housing information includes housing address, code, housing property, and area.

[0017] Step S2, collect the in-and-out status information of the concerned person through the intelligent door lock terminal, and collect the water usage data of the housing where they are located through the intelligent water meter.

[0018] Step S3, obtain the historical water usage data of the concerned person and construct a water usage behavior portrait, and analyze and obtain the judgment thresholds for multiple water usage states of the concerned person based on the water usage behavior portrait. The water usage states at least include no water usage, normal water usage, and excessive water usage states within a preset water usage cycle.

[0019] Step S4, use the in-and-out status and water usage status as event determination conditions, and formulate a care service strategy for the corresponding events of the concerned person.

[0020] Step S5, monitor the in-and-out status of the concerned person, and at the same time collect the water usage data of the concerned person within a preset time period to determine their current water usage status; according to the care service strategy, execute the corresponding care service when the event determination conditions are triggered.

[0021] Preferably, in step S2, the step of collecting the in-and-out status information of the concerned person through the intelligent door lock terminal further includes: Monitor the opening and closing actions of the intelligent door lock; When the time interval between a detected opening action and closing action of the intelligent door lock is greater than the set threshold, it is determined as a normal in-and-out action; Every time a normal in-and-out action occurs, confirm the personnel in-and-out situation through a camera or other sensors. If the in-and-out behavior of the concerned person is recognized, record the out and in status of the concerned person.

[0022] Such a technical solution can effectively avoid the interference of some invalid door lock opening and closing actions such as opening the door to get something on the in-and-out status.

[0023] Preferably, in step S3, the step of analyzing and obtaining the judgment thresholds for multiple water usage states of the concerned person based on the water usage behavior portrait further specifically includes: The water usage behavior portrait includes the basic situation of the concerned person, such as age, gender, health status, etc., and the water usage data within a preset water usage cycle; Analyze the historical water usage data of the concerned person to determine the water volume value intervals for no water usage, normal water usage, and excessive water usage; Determine the judgment thresholds for no water use, normal water use, and excessive water use within the preset water use period.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, more granular data analysis can also be performed on the water use behavior of the concerned personnel.

[0025] The number of water use behaviors and the types of water use behaviors within the preset water use period. The types of water use behaviors at least include washing, bathing, using the toilet, and washing vegetables. The types of water use behaviors are the water use behavior patterns of the concerned personnel obtained through the analysis of the behavior occurrence time, behavior occurrence frequency, and single - time water consumption.

[0026] Because the water use habits of ordinary people can be analyzed for patterns based on time, behavior occurrence frequency, and single - time water consumption data, and the daily life of concerned personnel such as the elderly is more regular. For example, washing occurs in the morning and evening, bathing is generally in the evening and the water use duration is long, and the water consumption for using the toilet is fixed due to the fixed water consumption of the flush toilet. Therefore, from the analysis of water consumption, the water use behavior of washing vegetables has more water use times and is mostly concentrated before lunch and dinner.

[0027] The care service strategy. The care service at least includes remote reminder and on - site service; For the monitored door - in state and the water use state of no water use or excessive water use, give a remote reminder. If the remote reminder fails, provide on - site service; For the monitored door - out state and the water use state of someone using water or excessive water use, give a remote reminder. If the remote reminder fails, provide on - site service.

[0028] A specific implementation strategy is to formulate a service strategy table, as shown in Table 1 for example. T indicates that the condition is established; F indicates that the condition fails; blank indicates that the condition is not triggered.

[0029]

[0030] The specific implementation strategy according to Table 1 is as follows: Serial number 1: The obtained door lock state is the door - out state and the water use state is no one using water, so no corresponding service needs to be provided; Serial number 2: The obtained door lock state is the door - out state and it is found that someone is using water, so a remote reminder service is needed, such as making a phone call to ask the concerned person if they are at home, etc.; Serial number 3: If the service in serial number 2 cannot be effectively provided, such as the other party does not answer the phone, then on - site service by service personnel needs to be further provided, such as checking the door lock and water meter conditions and confirming the activity behavior status of the concerned person; Serial number 4: The obtained door lock state is the door - out state and it is found that there is an excessive water use state, so a remote reminder service needs to be provided; Serial number 5: If the service in serial number 4 fails to be provided effectively, it is necessary to further send service personnel to provide on-site service; Serial number 6: The obtained door lock status is the entry status, and it is found that there is no water usage. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a remote reminder service; Serial number 7: If the service in serial number 6 fails to be provided effectively, it is necessary to further provide on-site service; Serial number 8: The obtained door lock status is the entry status, and it is found that someone is using water, which belongs to the category of normal daily behavior. Therefore, no service needs to be provided; Serial number 9: The obtained door lock status is the entry status, and it is found that there is excessive water usage. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a remote reminder service; Serial number 10: If the service in serial number 9 fails to be provided effectively, it is necessary to further provide on-site service.

[0031] A care system for concerned persons based on water meter and door lock behavior data of the present application. The system uses an intelligent door lock terminal and an intelligent water meter terminal as monitoring terminals. The intelligent door lock terminal is used to collect the entry and exit status information of the concerned persons, and the intelligent water meter is used to collect the water usage data of the housing where the concerned persons are located. The system further includes: A basic information module for obtaining the basic information of the concerned persons and the housing information where they are located; A water usage behavior profiling module for obtaining the historical water usage data of the concerned persons and constructing a water usage behavior profile, and analyzing to obtain judgment thresholds for multiple water usage states of the concerned persons based on the water usage behavior profile. The water usage states at least include no water usage, normal water usage, and excessive water usage states within a preset water usage cycle; A care strategy module for using the entry and exit status and water usage status as event determination conditions to formulate care service strategies for corresponding events for the concerned persons; A strategy determination module for monitoring the entry and exit status of the concerned persons, and at the same time collecting the water usage data of the concerned persons within a preset time period to determine their current water usage status; according to the care service strategy, execute the corresponding care service when the event determination conditions are triggered.

[0032] The present invention can, based on the basic information of the concerned persons, their entry and exit and water usage situations, analyze the data reported by the door lock and water meter, timely and accurately understand the living status of the concerned persons, and conveniently and precisely provide corresponding services. Compared with the prior art technical solutions that solely rely on water usage data for detection and care, this method is more intelligent and flexible, can distinguish whether the low water usage is caused by the household going out, and has higher timeliness.
