Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of wireless communication technology, Internet of Things technology, and artificial intelligence technology, and more specifically to a hospital hand hygiene monitoring system and method that reduces server computing power consumption. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in security monitoring applications, cameras with built-in deployment monitoring capabilities are often used to significantly reduce the consumption of GPU computing power in AI recognition servers. Many cameras used in security monitoring have built-in processors, thus possessing a certain computing power and capable of running detection algorithms within the processor. These cameras can pre-define certain areas within their captured images as deployment zones. Only when the detection algorithm running in their built-in processor detects an object entering the deployment zone will the captured video be transmitted to the AI recognition server for further identification.
[0003] However, for videos captured by cameras deployed at hand hygiene locations in hospitals, it is highly likely that people or objects unrelated to hand hygiene will enter the camera's field of view. As it is impossible to avoid the problem of people or objects unrelated to hand hygiene frequently entering the field of view of hand hygiene monitoring cameras, even if cameras with front-end deployment monitoring functions are used, it is still impossible to effectively reduce the consumption of GPU computing power in AI recognition servers.
[0004] Once invalid videos are transmitted to the hand hygiene AI action recognition server, it will cause a serious waste and unnecessary consumption of the server's computing power. To solve this problem, this invention proposes a hospital hand hygiene monitoring system that reduces the server's computing power consumption. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hospital hand hygiene monitoring system and method that reduces server computing power consumption. By wirelessly linking the access controller and dual-frequency tag card, dynamic control of the camera network connection is achieved, thereby ensuring accurate identification of hand hygiene behavior while significantly reducing the server's ineffective computing power consumption.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A hospital hand hygiene monitoring system that reduces server computing power consumption includes: a hand hygiene AI action recognition server, an Ethernet port camera, an access controller, an Ethernet switch, and a dual-frequency transceiver tag card; The access controller is connected to the hand hygiene AI action recognition server via an Ethernet switch; the access controller and the dual-frequency transceiver tag are connected via 125KHz or 433MHz dual-frequency wireless communication to dynamically control the connection status of the Ethernet port camera to the Ethernet. When the access controller connects the Ethernet port camera to the Ethernet, the video of medical staff's hand hygiene actions captured by the Ethernet port camera is transmitted to the hand hygiene AI action recognition server through the Ethernet switch. The AI recognition algorithm running in the hand hygiene AI action recognition server completes the detection, extraction and recognition of the video of medical staff's hand hygiene actions in order to obtain statistics on the medical staff's hand hygiene compliance. When the access controller disconnects the Ethernet port camera from the Ethernet network, the video of medical staff performing hand hygiene actions captured by the Ethernet port camera is not transmitted, in order to reduce the server's computing power consumption.
[0007] Furthermore, the access controller includes: an uplink module, a downlink module, a signal connectivity control module, a 433MHz wireless receiving module, a 125KHz wireless transmitting module, and a baseband processor module; The external port of the downlink module is connected to the Ethernet port camera, and the internal interface of the downlink module is connected to the downlink interface of the signal connectivity control module. The external port of the uplink module is connected to an Ethernet switch, and the internal interface of the uplink module is connected to the uplink interface of the signal connectivity control module. The 433MHz wireless receiver module's 433M encoding output interface is connected to the baseband processor module's 433M encoding input interface. The 125K encoding output interface of the baseband processor module is connected to the 125KHz wireless transmission module's 125K encoding input interface; The connection control signal output interface of the baseband processor module is connected to the connection control signal input interface of the signal connection control module.
[0008] Furthermore, the dual-frequency transceiver tag card includes: a 433MHz wireless transmitting module, a 125KHz wireless receiving module, a baseband processor module, a power management module, and a battery; The 125KHz wireless receiver module's 125K encoding output interface is connected to the baseband processor module's 125K encoding input interface; The 433M encoding output interface of the baseband processor module is connected to the 433M encoding input interface of the 433MHz wireless transmission module; The interrupt request signal output interface of the 125KHz wireless receiver module is connected to the 125K interrupt input interface of the baseband processor module. The battery is electrically connected to the power management module; the power output interface of the power management module is connected to the power input interfaces of the battery, the baseband processor module, the 433MHz wireless transmitter module, and the 125KHz wireless receiver module, respectively.
[0009] The present invention also provides a method for implementing a hospital hand hygiene monitoring system that reduces server computing power consumption, comprising the following steps: S1. The access controller continuously transmits a 125kHz wireless signal containing a built-in 125kHz identifier; S2. When the dual-frequency transceiver tag enters the 125kHz excitation sensing area, the dual-frequency transceiver tag receives and parses the 125kHz excitation identifier in the 125kHz wireless signal transmitted by the access controller; the access controller receives and parses the 125kHz excitation identifier in the 433MHz wireless signal transmitted by the dual-frequency transceiver tag. S3. When the 125K excitation identifier parsed by the access controller matches the 125K built-in identifier of the access controller, reset the 433MHz built-in identifier receiving timer and connect the Ethernet port camera to the Ethernet. S4. When the access controller fails to resolve a matching 125K excitation identifier or the 125K excitation identifier resolved by the access controller is inconsistent with the 125K built-in identifier of the access controller, determine whether the receive timer has timed out; if so, disconnect the connection between the Ethernet port camera and the Ethernet and turn off the receive timer; if not, wait to receive the 125K excitation identifier in the 433MHz wireless signal transmitted by the dual-frequency transceiver tag card. S5. After transmitting a 433MHz wireless signal, the dual-frequency transceiver tag returns to sleep mode.
[0010] Furthermore, in step S4, if the access controller does not resolve a matching 125K excitation identifier, it continuously transmits a 125KHz wireless signal; if the access controller resolves a matching 125K excitation identifier, it periodically transmits a 125KHz wireless signal at intervals.
[0011] Furthermore, in step S4, after the receive timer times out, the access controller disconnects and shuts down the receive timer, and resumes continuous transmission of the 125KHz wireless signal.
[0012] Furthermore, in step S5, during the sleep state, the 125kHz wireless receiver module and interrupt handling circuit are powered on; the baseband processor module is awakened by the interrupt signal from the 125kHz wireless receiver module.
[0013] The present invention also provides an electronic device, comprising: The system includes a memory and a processor, wherein the memory is coupled to the processor; the memory stores program instructions that, when executed by the processor, implement a hospital hand hygiene monitoring method that reduces server computing power consumption.
[0014] The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium including a computer program that, when run on an electronic device, causes the electronic device to perform a hospital hand hygiene monitoring method that reduces server computing power consumption.
[0015] According to specific embodiments provided by the present invention, the present invention has the following technical effects compared to the prior art: This invention utilizes dual-band wireless communication (125kHz or 433MHz). The system dynamically senses the location and behavior of medical personnel based on tags they wear. The network connection between the camera and server is only activated by the access controller when needed, enabling on-demand video data acquisition and significantly reducing the continuous transmission and processing of invalid video. Secondly, this intelligent connection control mechanism directly leads to significant resource optimization: during non-working hours or when there is no relevant personnel activity, the network connection is cut off, and camera video is not transmitted. This not only significantly reduces server computing power consumption and storage pressure but also effectively alleviates network bandwidth usage, improving the overall system's operational efficiency and stability. Finally, the system ensures that high-definition video is captured in real-time and transmitted to the AI server for accurate action detection, extraction, and recognition only when medical personnel perform hand hygiene procedures. This guarantees the accuracy and effectiveness of hand hygiene compliance statistics, providing reliable data support for hospital management and achieving an optimal balance between monitoring efficiency and resource consumption.

[0029] Example 2 This embodiment provides one implementation method of Embodiment 1: as follows Figure 1 The diagram provided illustrates an Ethernet deployment method for a hospital hand hygiene monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 Access layer switch 4, first aggregation layer switch 5, core layer switch 6, and second aggregation layer switch 7 are all Ethernet switches, therefore Figure 1 The illustrated hospital hand hygiene monitoring system actually consists of a hand hygiene AI action recognition server (9), an Ethernet camera (2), an Ethernet cable, an access controller (1), an Ethernet switch, and a dual-frequency transceiver tag (3). However... Figure 1 The illustrated deployment method uses a three-layer Ethernet switch, and the Ethernet port camera 2 and its access controller 1 are deployed on the same core layer and different aggregation layers as the hand hygiene AI action recognition server 9.
[0030] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, one side of the access controller 1's external interface (i.e., the external port of the downlink module) is connected to the Ethernet port of the Ethernet camera 2 via a network cable, enabling the Ethernet camera 2 to access the Ethernet network through the access controller 1. The other side of the access controller 1's external interface (i.e., the external port of the uplink module) is connected to an Ethernet switch via a network cable, enabling the access controller 1 to access the Ethernet network through the Ethernet switch.
[0031] exist Figure 1In this embodiment, the Ethernet port camera 2 must connect to the Ethernet via the access controller 1. When a medical staff member carrying a dual-frequency transceiver tag 3 arrives at the "125K excitation sensing area", the dual-frequency transceiver tag 3 can receive the 125KHz wireless signal encoded and modulated by the access controller 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the modulation method of 125K encoding for 125KHz wireless signals can be OOK, which stands for Binary On-Off Keying (OOK) or Binary Amplitude Keying. The modulation method of 433M encoding for 433MHz wireless signals can be FSK (Frequency Shift Keying).
[0037] Example 5 This embodiment provides a method for reducing server computing power consumption in a hospital hand hygiene monitoring system as described in Embodiment 1, such as... Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, it includes the following steps: S1. Access controller 1 continuously transmits a 125kHz wireless signal containing a built-in 125kHz identifier; S2. When the dual-frequency transceiver tag 3 enters the 125K excitation sensing area, the dual-frequency transceiver tag 3 receives and parses the 125K excitation identifier in the 125KHz wireless signal transmitted by the access controller 1; the access controller 1 receives and parses the 125K excitation identifier in the 433MHz wireless signal transmitted by the dual-frequency transceiver tag 3. S3. When the 125K excitation identifier resolved by the access controller 1 is consistent with the 125K built-in identifier of the access controller 1, reset the 433MHz built-in identifier receiving timer and connect the Ethernet port camera 2 to the Ethernet. S4. When the access controller 1 does not resolve a matching 125K excitation identifier or the 125K excitation identifier resolved by the access controller 1 is inconsistent with the 125K built-in identifier of the access controller 1, determine whether the receive timer has timed out; if so, disconnect the connection between the Ethernet port camera 2 and the Ethernet and turn off the receive timer; if not, wait to receive the 125K excitation identifier in the 433MHz wireless signal transmitted by the dual-frequency transceiver tag card 3. S5. After transmitting a 433MHz wireless signal, the dual-frequency transceiver tag 3 returns to sleep mode.
[0038] In step S4, if the access controller 1 does not resolve a matching 125K excitation identifier, it continuously transmits a 125KHz wireless signal; if the access controller 1 resolves a matching 125K excitation identifier, it periodically transmits a 125KHz wireless signal at intervals.
[0039] In step S4, after the receive timer expires, the access controller 1 disconnects and shuts down the receive timer, and resumes continuous transmission of the 125kHz wireless signal. Figure 9 As shown.
[0040] In step S5, during the sleep state, the 125kHz wireless receiver module and interrupt handling circuit are powered on; the baseband processor module is awakened by the interrupt signal from the 125kHz wireless receiver module.
[0041] This embodiment is specifically as follows: Appendix Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the process in the hospital hand hygiene monitoring system of this invention, where the access controller determines whether the Ethernet port camera connects to or disconnects from the Ethernet port based on whether the 125K resolution identifier is resolved in a timely manner. Figure 8 In the embodiment shown, the process by which the access controller connects the Ethernet port camera to or disconnects it from the Ethernet network is completed in the following 10 steps: (1) "Waiting to receive 433 encoding": The baseband processor module in the access controller waits to receive 433 encoding input at the 433M encoding input interface. At this time, the baseband processor module does not receive the 433M encoding or the timeout message of the 433M built-in identifier receiving timer. Once the 433M encoding input is received, proceed to step 2. (2) "Received 433M encoding": In this step, the baseband processor module receives 433M encoding; then proceed to step 3; (3) "Parse 125K excitation identifier": In this step, the baseband processor module parses the 125K excitation identifier and dual-frequency transceiver tag identifier contained in the received 433M code; after parsing, proceed to step (4); (4) "Parse the 125K excitation flag?": In this step, the baseband processor module determines whether the 125K excitation flag is parsed from the received 433M code; if the 125K excitation flag is parsed, proceed to step 5; otherwise, if no timeout message of the 433M built-in flag receiving timer is received at this time, return to step 1; otherwise, if a timeout message of the 433M built-in flag receiving timer is received (consider it step 8), proceed to step 9. (5) "Consistent with 125K built-in identifier?": In this step, the baseband processor module checks whether the 125K excitation identifier parsed in step 4 above is consistent with the 125K built-in identifier of the baseband processor module. If consistent, proceed to step 6. Otherwise, if no timeout message of the 433M built-in identifier receiving timer is received at this time, return to step 1. Conversely, if a timeout message of the 433M built-in identifier receiving timer is received (consider it as step 8), proceed to step 9. (6) "Reset timer": In this step, the baseband processor module first resets the "433M built-in identifier receive timer", so that the timer is cleared and restarted, and then proceeds to step (7); (7) "Transmitting the conduction signal": In this step, the baseband processor module transmits the conduction signal to the signal connectivity control module through its connectivity control signal output interface, so that the downlink interface and the uplink interface of the signal connectivity control module are in a conducting state, and then returns to step 1. (8) "Received timer timeout message" (Note: This is only step 8 if a timeout message for the 433M built-in identifier receive timer is received): In this step, the baseband processor module receives the timeout message for the 433M built-in identifier receive timer from its internal memory, and then proceeds to step 9. (9) "Transmit Disconnection Signal": The baseband processor module transmits a disconnection signal to the signal connectivity control module through its connectivity control signal output interface, so that the downlink interface and uplink interface of the signal connectivity control module are disconnected. At this time, the Ethernet port camera cannot access the Ethernet; then proceed to step 10. (10) "Turn off timer": In this step, after the baseband processor module transmits the disconnect signal, it also turns off the 433M built-in identifier receiver timer, so that the timer stops counting, and then returns to step (1).
[0042] Combination Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the processing flow of the access controller receiving a timeout message from a 433M built-in identifier receiving timer in the hospital hand hygiene monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 9 In the embodiment shown, the processing flow for the access controller receiving the timeout message of the 433M built-in identifier receive timer is completed in the following four steps: (1) "Received timer timeout message" (Note: This is only the first step if the timer timeout message of the 433M built-in identifier receive timer is received): In this step, the baseband processor module receives the timer timeout message of the 433M built-in identifier receive timer from its internal internals, and then proceeds to the second step. (2) "Transmitting disconnect signal": The baseband processor module transmits a disconnect signal to the signal connection control module through its connection control signal output interface, so that the downlink interface and the uplink interface of the signal connection control module are disconnected. At this time, the Ethernet port camera cannot access the Ethernet; then proceed to step (3); (3) "Turn off the timer": In this step, after the baseband processor module transmits the disconnect signal, it also turns off the 433M built-in identifier receiving timer, so that the timer stops counting, and then proceeds to step (4); (4) "Waiting to receive 433 encoding": The baseband processor module in the access controller is waiting to receive 433 encoding input at the 433M encoding input interface.
[0043] Appendix Figure 9 The process of the embodiment shown can only be effective if the "433M built-in identifier receiving timer" has been turned on or reset by the baseband processor module of the access controller, so that the timer is in a timing state.

[0044] Combined with appendix Figure 10 , attached Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the processing flow of a dual-frequency transceiver tag in a hospital hand hygiene monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention, employing a sleep-wake dual-state switching mode. Figure 10 In the embodiment shown, the sleep-wake dual-state switching workflow of the dual-frequency transceiver tag is completed in the following 19 steps: (1) "The dual-frequency transceiver tag is in a sleep state": In this step, only the 125KHz wireless receiver module and the circuits inside the baseband processor module that are related to the detection and processing of the interrupt request signal of the 125KHz wireless receiver module are powered on and running, while the 433MHz wireless transmitter module and the other functional circuits inside the baseband processor module are in a sleep state that is not powered on. (2) "Received interrupt request signal from 125KHz wireless receiver module": In this step, when the dual-frequency transceiver tag is in sleep mode, once the 125KHz wireless receiver module detects a 125KHz wireless signal with a signal strength that meets the specified threshold requirements, it sends an interrupt request signal to the baseband processor module through the interrupt request signal output interface; then proceed to step 3. (3) "Baseband processor module is woken up and powered on": In this step, after the baseband processor module is woken up by the interrupt signal received by its 125K interrupt input interface, the baseband processor module first powers on the remaining internal functional circuits and then proceeds to step 4. (4) "Send 433MHz wireless transmitter module power-on signal": In this step, the baseband processor module sends a 433MHz wireless transmitter module power-on signal to the power management module, and then proceeds to step 5; (5) "433M power supply output interface output voltage and current": In this step, the 433M power supply output interface of the power management module outputs the voltage and current required for the operation of the 433MHz wireless transmission module, and then proceeds to step 6. (6) "433MHz wireless transmission module is powered on and running again": In this step, the 433MHz wireless transmission module is powered on and running again, and then proceeds to step (7); (7) "Mask 125K interrupt input": In this step, the baseband processor module masks the interrupt request signal from its 125K interrupt input interface, and then proceeds to step 8; (8) "Receive 125K encoding input": In this step, the 125KHz wireless receiving module receives and demodulates the modulated 125KHz wireless signal transmitted by the access controller, and transmits the demodulated 125K encoding to the baseband processor module through its 125K encoding input interface. The baseband processor module receives the 125K encoding through its 125K encoding input interface, and then proceeds to step 9. (9) "Parse the 125K excitation identifier": In this step, the baseband processor module parses the 125K excitation identifier from the 125K code received through its 125K encoding input interface, and then proceeds to step 10; (10) "Construct 433M code": In this step, the baseband processor module constructs 433M code using the parsed 125K excitation identifier, and then proceeds to step (11); (11) "Output 433M code": In this step, the baseband processor module transmits the 433M code to the 433MHz wireless transmission module through the 433M code output interface, and then proceeds to step 12; (12) “433MHz modulation”: In this step, the 433MHz wireless transmission module modulates the received 433M code onto a 433MHz radio frequency signal, and then proceeds to step (13); (13) "Transmit modulated 433MHz wireless signal": In this step, the 433MHz wireless transmission module transmits the modulated 433MHz wireless signal, and then proceeds to step (14); (14) "Unmask the 125K interrupt input": In this step, the baseband processor module unmasks the 125KHz wireless receiver module interrupt request signal and then proceeds to step (15). (15) "Send 433MHz wireless transmitter module power disconnect signal": In this step, the baseband processor module sends a 433MHz wireless transmitter module power disconnect signal to the power management module through its 433M power control output interface, and then proceeds to step (16); (16) "433M power supply output interface no longer outputs voltage and current": In this step, the 433M power supply output interface of the power management module no longer outputs voltage and current, and then proceeds to step (17); (17) "433MHz wireless transmitter module stops powering on": In this step, the 433MHz wireless transmitter module stops powering on and then proceeds to step (18); (18) "The baseband processor module only keeps the circuits related to the 125K interrupt input interface processing powered on": In this step, the baseband processor module only keeps the circuits related to the detection and processing of the 125KHz wireless receiver module interrupt request signal powered on, while disconnecting the power supply to the other functional circuits inside the baseband processor module, and then proceeds to step 19. (19) "Dual-frequency transceiver tag card enters sleep mode": In this step, the dual-frequency transceiver tag card enters sleep mode, while only the 125KHz wireless receiver module and the circuits inside the baseband processor module that are related to detecting and processing the interrupt request signal of the 125KHz wireless receiver module continue to be powered on and running. This process jumps back to step (1).
