Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of health monitoring technology, specifically to a radar method, system, device, and electronic equipment for detecting human falls and bed falls. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing trend of population aging, the safety of elderly people living alone at home has become a major concern. Falls and bed falls are among the key threats to the life and health of elderly people living alone, and timely and effective detection of falls and bed falls is of great significance for protecting them.
[0003] Fall and bed fall detection methods based on radio frequency signals or microwave sensors used for communication such as WiFi lack the ability to distinguish human body position and contour information, and have poor anti-interference capabilities. Fall and bed fall detection methods based on sensors such as cameras and depth cameras are not suitable for indoor privacy scenarios. Millimeter-wave radar has stood out due to its advantages such as good stability, high resolution, strong anti-interference capability, and privacy protection, becoming one of the main sensor solutions for human fall and bed fall detection research.
[0004] Existing radar-based fall and bed fall detection technologies commonly employ machine learning or deep learning classification methods for fall and bed fall detection. For example, Chinese invention patent publication number CN115754967B discloses a fall detection method using deep learning networks to identify classification features, and Chinese invention patent application number 2025104843601 discloses a method for fall detection using machine learning classification. However, model-based methods such as machine learning or deep learning require storing the recognition model and demand that the computing device support machine learning or deep learning frameworks. This poses a challenge for edge embedded devices, as many edge devices often have limited memory resources and cannot support complex machine learning and deep learning inference calculations.
[0005] Another commonly used method in existing radar fall and bed fall detection technologies is to detect falls by detecting the change edge of a one-dimensional feature measured by sensors (and judging it against a specific threshold). However, methods based on change edge detection suffer from low stability, poor anti-interference ability, and limited practicality. For example, Chinese invention patent CN115343684B uses a combination of current height and average height as two conditions to detect falls, achieving an accuracy of greater than or equal to 86% and a false alarm rate of less than or equal to 20%.
[0006] Existing technologies rely solely on changes in one-dimensional features (such as a single height parameter) measured by sensors and threshold judgments for detection. This results in poor differentiation of environmental interference and non-falling human actions (such as squatting or sitting), leading to false alarms or missed detections. The limited detection dimension fails to comprehensively reflect the complex movement characteristics of falls / bed falls, resulting in low detection accuracy and failing to meet the reliability requirements of practical health monitoring. Furthermore, existing technologies lack a unified solution, making it impossible to simultaneously detect both falls and bed falls within a single method, system, or device. This necessitates the deployment of different detection schemes, increasing equipment costs and deployment complexity. Therefore, we propose a radar-based method, system, device, and electronic equipment for detecting human falls and bed falls. Summary of the Invention

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: Superior detection performance, strong stability and anti-interference capabilities: Employing 3D real-time point cloud feature analysis, compared to 1D feature change detection methods, it can comprehensively capture human position, contour, and motion trajectory, effectively resisting environmental interference (such as furniture occlusion and lighting changes), and solving the problems of poor stability and high false alarm rate of traditional methods.

[0026] High real-time performance and efficient feedback: Optimized radar signal parameters (large bandwidth to improve range resolution, large frequency modulation period to improve velocity resolution, and small frame period to improve temporal resolution) enable high spatiotemporal resolution point cloud data acquisition and processing, ensuring the real-time nature of the detection process. Detection results are simultaneously visualized, enabling rapid feedback on dangerous events, buying time for subsequent rescue efforts, and meeting the immediate needs of health monitoring.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-2 In this embodiment of the invention, a radar method for detecting human falls and bed falls includes the following steps: S1: The radar equipment transmits frequency-modulated continuous wave signals to the detection area and captures the echo signals reflected from the area. Then, it converts these analog signals into digital signals containing information about the human body's position, outline, and motion. S2: Analyze and process a frame of digital signal containing human position, outline and motion information to create a frame of raw radar point cloud data containing the relative radar distance, radial velocity, azimuth angle, elevation angle and signal strength of multiple measured points; S3: Filter out valid radar point cloud data from each frame of raw radar point cloud data; S4: Calculate motion features using multiple frames of effective radar point cloud data and check whether the preset motion conditions are met. If yes, continue to step S5; otherwise, return to step S1. S5: Calculate fall characteristics using multiple frames of effective radar point cloud data, and perform rule matching with preset fall and bed fall conditions to determine whether a fall or bed fall event has occurred. If yes, continue to step S6; otherwise, return to step S1. S6: Displays fall and bed fall detection results and provides real-time visual feedback.
[0030] The raw parameters acquired by the radar, namely target range, azimuth, and elevation angle, are converted into three-dimensional rectangular coordinates using a function. Step S2 includes the following steps: S21: Perform initial filtering on the original parameters, selecting parameters whose distance to all points is greater than 0.05m; S22: Depending on the radar installation method (side-mounted or top-mounted), different spherical coordinate system to rectangular coordinate system transformation functions are used to transform the human body point cloud data in the spherical coordinate system measured by the radar to the rectangular coordinate system.
[0031] The coordinate system transformation function for side mounting is as follows:
[0032] The conversion function for the top-mounted device is as follows:
[0033] in Indicates distance, Indicates pitch angle, Indicates azimuth. Indicates the installation height of the top-mounted radar. Ground coordinates representing directions parallel to the radar antenna plane. Ground coordinates representing directions perpendicular to the radar antenna plane; The coordinates represent the height direction.
[0034] S23: Filter the transformed 3D coordinates again to remove noise points that are outside the detection range, and obtain initial radar point cloud data containing human features.
[0035] To filter valid point cloud data, step S3 includes the following steps: S31: Determine whether each data point in the original radar point cloud of the current frame is within the radar detection area. If yes, keep it; otherwise, discard it. S32: Cluster the three-dimensional spatial coordinates processed in S31, and determine whether the number of clusters is greater than 0. If so, retain the cluster closest to the target position in the previous frame, discard other data points, and proceed to S4. If not, return to step S31.
[0036] To extract the motion features of the target point cloud, step S4 includes the following steps: S41: Based on the data points selected in step S3, calculate the feature parameters of the current frame. These parameters include, but are not limited to, the number of point clouds, radial distance, radial velocity, and three-dimensional spatial coordinates.
[0037] S42: Input the motion feature parameters of the current frame into a sliding window of a certain frame length to form motion features.
[0038] S43: Analyze the motion features in the multi-frame sliding window and check whether the preset motion conditions are met. If the preset motion conditions are met, continue to step S5; if the preset motion conditions are not met, return to step S1 and start again.
[0039] For the fall feature in parameter calculation step S5, which includes motion features, check whether the preset fall and bed fall conditions are met.
[0040] Through extensive testing, we identified key parameters that distinguish falls and bed falls from other actions, such as height change, maximum current height, and current speed change, while also determining the threshold ranges for these parameters. Considering the data differences caused by different installation methods, we designed tests for both side-mounted and top-mounted installations, employing different threshold judgment criteria.
[0041] Taking a side-mounted radar as an example: The radar equipment is placed vertically on a support 2m above the ground. The movement range of the target human body is controlled within a semicircle with a radius of 3m centered on the radar. Data on various actions such as walking, squatting, sitting, lying down, falling, turning over in bed, and falling out of bed are collected and tested.
[0042] The effective point cloud data in the filtered multi-frame sliding window is processed to determine the height change value of each frame. Maximum height Maximum radial velocity Do the parameters meet the threshold? If three consecutive frames simultaneously meet the threshold condition, it is determined that a fall or bed fall event has occurred.

[0048] The working principle of this invention is: Signal acquisition and conversion: The radar equipment transmits frequency-modulated continuous wave signals to cover the monitoring area, receives the echo signals reflected by the human body, and converts the analog signals into digital signals containing information on the human body's position, outline, and movement, providing raw data support for subsequent analysis.
[0049] Point cloud data generation and optimization: The digital signal is processed to generate raw radar point cloud data containing range, radial velocity, azimuth, elevation angle, and signal strength. The clean initial point cloud data is obtained through three steps: "range filtering (retaining data points > 0.05m), coordinate transformation (side-mounted / top-mounted adaptation of the corresponding spherical coordinate system to rectangular coordinate system transformation function), and noise filtering". Then, the effective point cloud is filtered through "range filtering, cluster analysis, and target tracking" (retaining the cluster closest to the target in the previous frame) to eliminate interference data.
[0050] Feature extraction and condition judgment: Based on multiple frames of effective point cloud data, the feature parameters such as the number of point clouds, radial distance, and three-dimensional coordinates are calculated, and a motion feature sequence is constructed through a sliding window. First, it is judged whether the preset motion conditions are met (preliminary screening of suspected dangerous actions), and then the fall features (such as height change value, speed change value, etc.) are calculated. The rule matching formula of multiple threshold combinations is used to quantify whether a fall / bed fall event has occurred, without relying on machine learning models or template libraries.
