Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field related to the care of the elderly, and in particular to an intelligent non-intrusive care method and system for the elderly living alone. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing aging of China's population, and many elderly people living alone at home. Coupled with the rapid development of society, the life and work pressure of young people is getting greater and greater. They are often separated from their families due to going out to work, neglecting the care of the family. It is common for the elderly living alone to encounter misfortunes at home. If an unexpected accident suddenly occurs to an elderly person at home, it will leave a great regret for young people.

[0003] When caring for the elderly living alone, most of them only understand the physical condition of the elderly through the cooperation of telephone and camera components, and cannot effectively implement precise care. To solve the above defects, reference can be made to a remote elderly care monitoring method and system based on deep learning disclosed in the prior art (Chinese Patent with application number 202410682018.8 and authorization announcement date of October 15, 2024). This monitoring system realizes the all-round monitoring and evaluation of the living conditions of the elderly, greatly improving the ability and efficiency of the traditional solution; at the same time, this method also constructs a dynamic review strategy based on case retrieval technology, which can adjust the evaluation criteria according to specific situations, improving the reliability of the evaluation, achieving the effect of precise care. At the same time, reference can also be made to a method and system for caring for the elderly based on edge computing disclosed in the prior art (Chinese Patent with application number 202210314730.3 and publication date of August 16, 2022). This system uses artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technology, and the edge-side intelligent interaction system realizes the care and early warning of the elderly, solving the problem that the elderly cannot call the police independently when they encounter danger or need help. At the same time, it can prevent possible dangerous events in advance through interactive information, providing more intelligent, convenient and considerate services for the life of the elderly; and reference can also be made to a method and system for caring for the elderly in intelligent elderly care disclosed in the prior art (Chinese Patent with application number 202411692366.X and application publication date of December 24, 2024). It uses millimeter-wave radar technology to realize non-contact real-time monitoring of the physical state of the elderly. The host supports button and voice keyword recognition to trigger an alarm; the FDx non-intrusive detector will confirm the real needs of the elderly through voice inquiry. Only when it is confirmed that help is needed, will it notify the host to send an alarm message and trigger a call. This method can not only notify relevant personnel in time when detecting emergencies such as the elderly falling or abnormal heart rate, but also confirm the real needs of the elderly through voice inquiry, avoiding false alarms.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned existing technologies can achieve the purpose of precise care, there are still certain deficiencies in the process of use. When caring for the elderly living alone, not only the physical conditions of the elderly need to be understood, but also the privacy of the elderly needs to be protected. Moreover, the efficiency of data transmission to the cloud platform is relatively low, which is rather cumbersome in daily practice.

[0005] Therefore, we propose an intelligent non-intrusive care method and system for the elderly living alone to solve the problems raised above. Summary of the Invention

[0016] The software side is responsible for processing the data, making it persistent and visual; after the backend parses and processes the received data, it performs a data persistence operation and saves it to the OpenGauss database; the user accesses through devices such as mobile phones and computers. The front end responds to the user's operations and sends requests to the backend. After the backend performs corresponding processing, it returns the data to the front end, and the front end visualizes it and presents it to the user.

The pressure measurement module can detect pressure changes caused by the elderly turning over and record the number of times the elderly turn over per unit time to measure the sleep quality of the elderly. The EPROM module has persistent storage of configuration parameters and can temporarily store data that cannot be uploaded to the server in a timely manner and then upload it to the server after the network is restored.

[0022] Preferably, the high performance of the NB-IoT module can receive data transmitted from the STM32F407VET6 platform at high speed, efficiently transmit the received data to the OneNet platform, support rich Socket AT commands, support USART / GPI / O data communication interfaces, have multiple built-in network protocols (CoAP, TCP / UDP, LWM2M, MQTT, HTTP), and support multiple low-power modes (PSM, eDRX).

[0023] Preferably, the software side includes a server front-end, a server back-end, and information transmission.
