[0032] The above-mentioned storage formats of each DB are merely examples, and other storage formats may be used as long as the relationships between the data are maintained.

[0033] 6 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the detection device 2. The detection device 2 includes a piezoelectric sensor 21, a door sensor 22, a communication unit 23, a control unit 24, and a storage unit 25.

[0034] The detection device 2 receives an ON setting for the status detection mode from the computer 1. The detection device 2 reflects the received ON setting for the status detection mode in the piezoelectric sensor 21 and the door sensor 22. The detection device 2 acquires detection signals of vibrations, sounds, etc., emitted by the subject, output from the piezoelectric sensor 21 and the door sensor 22. The detection device 2 extracts a feature signal from the acquired detection signal. The detection device 2 judges the subject's status based on the extracted feature signal.

[0035] The detection device 2 may determine the state of the subject corresponding to the state detection mode by combining multiple measuring devices, etc., in addition to the piezoelectric sensor 21 and the door sensor 22. The detection device 2 may determine the state of the subject corresponding to the state detection mode by replacing the piezoelectric sensor 21 and the door sensor 22 with multiple other measuring devices, etc. In this case, the multiple measuring devices may be, for example, a camera sensor, a Doppler sensor, a human sensor, a microphone, a load sensor, a capacitance sensor, an acceleration sensor, an odor sensor, and an electronic stethoscope.

[0036] The piezoelectric sensor 21 and the door sensor 22 may be provided outside the detection device 2 and connected to the detection device 2.

[0037] The piezoelectric sensor 21 is preferably installed at a position that does not contact the subject so as not to cause discomfort to the subject. The piezoelectric sensor 21 may be installed on a bed on which the subject lies. The piezoelectric sensor 21 may be installed, for example, between the bed on which the subject lies and a mattress on the bed. The piezoelectric sensor 21 may be installed between a bed sheet on the mattress and the mattress.

[0038] Furthermore, when the subject is wearing clothes, the piezoelectric sensor 21 may be installed on the top surface of the bed. When arranging the piezoelectric sensor 21 at the above-mentioned position, it is preferable that the piezoelectric sensor 21 is formed, for example, in a thin plate (sheet) shape. This makes it possible to detect vibrations and sounds generated by the subject without causing discomfort to the subject using the bed.

[0039] The door sensor 22 is disposed near the door. The door sensor 22 detects whether the door is opened or closed. The door sensor 22 is, for example, a magnet sensor. The communication unit 23 is a communication module for performing processing related to communication, and transmits and receives information to and from the computer 1 via the network N.

[0040] The control unit 24 includes a signal extraction unit 241 and a determination unit 242. The signal extraction unit 241 extracts a characteristic signal of the subject from the detection signal output from the piezoelectric sensor 21. The detection signal is a signal (waveform data) itself indicating vibrations, sounds, and the like emitted by the subject, or a signal that has been subjected to amplification processing or noise removal processing.

[0041] The piezoelectric sensor 21 can detect vibrations and sounds of various frequency ranges generated by a target person. In other words, the detection signal output from the piezoelectric sensor 21 is a signal in which a plurality of vibrations and sounds having various frequency characteristics are superimposed on each other. The door sensor 22 can detect the open / closed state of the door. The detection signal output from the door sensor 22 is a signal indicating the open / closed state of the door.

[0042] In one example, the detection signal includes at least one of a heart rate signal, a respiratory vibration signal, a body movement signal, a snoring signal, an accessory noise signal, a bowel peristalsis sound signal, or an opening / closing signal. The heart rate signal indicates the heart rate of the subject. The respiratory vibration signal indicates respiratory vibration of the subject. The body movement signal indicates body movement of the subject. The snoring signal indicates snoring of the subject. The accessory noise signal indicates accessory noise of the subject. The bowel peristalsis sound signal indicates bowel peristalsis sound of the subject. The opening / closing signal indicates that the subject has opened or closed a door.

[0043] The signal extraction unit 241 applies a well-known technique such as frequency separation to the detection signal output from the piezoelectric sensor 21 to extract a feature signal from the detection signal. The detection signal is separated into a heartbeat signal, a respiratory vibration signal, a body movement signal, a snoring signal, an accessory noise signal, an intestinal peristalsis sound signal, etc., by a technique such as frequency separation. The signal extraction unit 241 stores the heartbeat signal, the respiratory vibration signal, the body movement signal, the snoring signal, the accessory noise signal, the intestinal peristalsis sound signal, etc., separated by a technique such as frequency separation, in the storage unit 25 as feature signals. In addition, the opening / closing signal output from the door sensor 22 is stored in the storage unit 25 as a feature signal. The feature signal includes at least one of the heartbeat signal, the respiratory vibration signal, the body movement signal, the snoring signal, the accessory noise signal, the intestinal peristalsis sound signal, the opening / closing signal, etc.

[0044] The determination unit 242 determines the state of the subject based on the feature signal stored in the storage unit 25 and an estimation model 251 described later. The control unit 24 converts the state of the subject determined by the determination unit 242 into a corresponding first state ID and second state ID. The control unit 24 transmits the converted first state ID and second state ID to the computer 1 via the communication unit 23.

[0045] The storage unit 25 includes memory elements such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) and a ROM (Read Only Memory). The storage unit 25 stores programs, data, and the like required for processing by the control unit 24. The storage unit 25 stores the first state ID and the second state ID included in the first state DB 174 and the second state DB 175 shown in FIG. 4. The storage unit 25 also temporarily stores data and the like required for calculation processing by the control unit 24. The storage unit 25 also includes an estimation model 251.

[0046] The estimation model 251 is an estimator that estimates the state of the subject based on the feature signal separated by the signal extraction unit 241. The estimation model 251 is a trained model generated by machine learning. The control unit 24 can determine the state of the subject based on the estimation result by the estimation model 251.

[0047] A method of determining the subject's condition using the estimation model 251 will be described. The signal extraction unit 241 applies a well-known technique such as frequency separation to the detection signals to extract characteristic signals of the subject (heartbeat signal, respiratory vibration signal, body movement signal, snoring signal, accessory noise signal, intestinal peristalsis sound signal, opening and closing signal, etc.) from the detection signals output from the piezoelectric sensor 21 and the door sensor 22. The determination unit 242 uses the estimation model 251 to determine the subject's condition from the extracted characteristic signals.

[0048] Specifically, the estimation model 251 is a learning model constructed by performing machine learning using training data in which the feature signals are explanatory variables and the subject's state (bed state, body movement state, waking state, rising state, getting out of bed state, in-bed state, light sleep state, sleeping state, awake state, leaving state, whether or not the subject has left the room, whether or not the subject has excreted, whether or not there is an abnormality in the lungs, whether or not the subject is in critical condition, whether or not there is an abnormality in the heart, etc.) is objective variables. The estimation model 251 is used as a program module that is a part of artificial intelligence software. The estimation model 251 is an estimator in which a neural network has been constructed that receives the feature signals of the subject as input and outputs an estimation result that estimates the subject's state.

[0049] A well-known machine learning algorithm may be applied to the machine learning for generating the estimation model 251. The location of the estimation model 251 is not limited to the storage unit 25. For example, the estimation model 251 may be stored in the computer 1 or an external device. Although the above-mentioned estimation model 251 is constructed using a feature signal, the present invention is not limited to this. The estimation model 251 may be constructed by performing machine learning based on either or both of a detection device and a feature signal.

[0050] The method of determining the state of the subject is not limited to using the estimation model 251 described above. The determination unit 242 may determine that the state of the subject is in bed when the detection signal detected from the piezoelectric sensor 21 changes significantly and exceeds a reference threshold value. The determination unit 242 may determine that the state of the subject is in bed when at least one of a heartbeat signal and a respiratory vibration signal is detected from the piezoelectric sensor 21. The determination unit 242 may determine that the state of the subject is in body movement when a body movement signal is significantly detected from the piezoelectric sensor 21.

[0051] The determination unit 242 may determine that the state of the subject is the sitting state when a detection signal indicating the initial movement of the subject getting up is detected from the piezoelectric sensor 21. The determination unit 242 may determine that the state of the subject is the sitting state when the detection signal indicating the initial movement of the subject getting up is detected from the piezoelectric sensor 21, the detection signal falls below the reference threshold and a stable sitting state is detected. The determination unit 242 may determine that the state of the subject is out of bed when the detection signal indicating the initial movement of the subject getting up is detected from the piezoelectric sensor 21, the detection signal falls significantly below the reference threshold and the state significantly below the reference threshold is maintained.

[0052] The determination unit 242 may determine that the state of the subject is the in-bed state when a detection signal exceeding a reference threshold is detected from the piezoelectric sensor 21 and then a detection signal below the reference threshold is detected. The determination unit 242 may determine that the state of the subject is the in-bed state when the heartbeat signal and the respiratory vibration signal detected from the piezoelectric sensor 21 are below the reference threshold. The determination unit 242 may determine that all states other than the in-bed state, the body movement state, the sitting up state, the sitting up state, and the out-of-bed state are the in-bed state. When the determination unit 242 determines that the state of the subject is the in-bed state, it may additionally determine that the state is a light sleep state, a sleeping state, or an awake state according to the pattern of the characteristic signals including the heartbeat signal, the respiratory vibration signal, and the body movement signal detected from the subject.

[0053] The determination unit 242 may determine that the subject is in a target state or that the subject has left the room when the opening and closing of a door is detected after the subject's state is determined to be in a bed-out state. The determination unit 242 may determine that the subject has not left the room when a detection signal indicating a bed-in state, a body movement state, a sitting up state, a rising state, a bed-out state, or a bed-occupied state is detected for the subject after the opening and closing of a door is detected. The determination unit 242 may determine that the subject's lungs have an abnormality when an adnexal having a specific frequency characteristic is detected. The determination unit 242 may determine that the subject's lungs do not have an abnormality when an adnexal having a specific frequency characteristic is not detected. The determination unit 242 may determine that the subject is in a critical state when a large drop in a heartbeat signal, a respiratory vibration signal, or the like is detected. The determination unit 242 may determine that the subject is not in a critical state when a large drop in a heartbeat signal, a respiratory vibration signal, or the like is not detected.

[0054] The determination unit 242 may determine that the subject has excreted when intestinal peristalsis sounds having specific frequency characteristics are detected. The determination unit 242 may determine that the subject has not excreted when intestinal peristalsis sounds having specific frequency characteristics are not detected. The determination unit 242 may determine that the subject has an abnormality in the heart of the subject when sounds having specific frequency characteristics different from the adventitious sounds and intestinal peristalsis sounds are detected. The determination unit 242 may determine that the subject has no abnormality in the heart of the subject when sounds having specific frequency characteristics different from the adventitious sounds and intestinal peristalsis sounds are not detected.

[0055] The above-mentioned determination process by the determination unit 242 may be performed by the computer 1 or an external device.

[0056] The processing performed by each device in the monitoring system according to the first embodiment will be described. The control unit 11 accepts input of a subject ID via the input unit 13. Fig. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a screen for accepting an on / off setting of the status detection mode. After input of the subject ID is completed, the screen is output to the display unit 15 in association with the subject ID. The control unit 11 becomes able to accept an on / off setting of the status detection mode for each subject.

[0057] The screen includes a bed exit function setting button 11a, a sleep function setting button 11b, an exit function setting button 11c, a respiratory function setting button 11d, an agitation function setting button 11e, an excretion function setting button 11f, and a heart function setting button 11g.

[0058] The bed exit function setting button 11a is a button that accepts the setting of the status detection mode corresponding to the bed exit function to be on or off. The sleep function setting button 11b is a button that accepts the setting of the status detection mode corresponding to the sleep function to be on or off. The exit function setting button 11c is a button that accepts the setting of the status detection mode corresponding to the exit function to be on or off. The respiratory organ function setting button 11d is a button that accepts the setting of the status detection mode corresponding to the respiratory organ function to be on or off.

[0059] The agitation function setting button 11e is a button that accepts the setting of the condition detection mode corresponding to the agitation function to be on or off. The excretion function setting button 11f is a button that accepts the setting of the condition detection mode corresponding to the excretion function to be on or off. The cardiac function setting button 11g is a button that accepts the setting of the condition detection mode corresponding to the cardiac function to be on or off.

[0060] When the control unit 11 receives a touch (click) operation of the bed exit function setting button 11a, the sleep function setting button 11b, the exit function setting button 11c, the respiratory function setting button 11d, the agitation function setting button 11e, the excretion function setting button 11f, and the cardiac function setting button 11g, it receives the setting of the above-mentioned condition detection mode to on or off.

[0061] Furthermore, the control unit 11 can specify a status detection mode to be active among a plurality of status detection modes based on the data obtained from the sensor or the type of the sensor. Active indicates, for example, a state in which the status detection mode can be set to on or off.

[0062] A method for identifying the state detection mode to be activated based on data obtained from the sensor will be described below. The data obtained from the sensor is, for example, a state determination result transmitted from the detection device 2.

[0063] For example, it is assumed that the determination results regarding the subject A and the subject B include at least one first state ID from D101 to D106 and at least one first state ID from D107 to D109. In this case, the control unit 11 specifies, as active, the state detection modes corresponding to the getting out of bed function and the sleeping function associated with the above-mentioned first state ID.

[0064] For example, it is assumed that the determination result regarding the subject C includes at least one first state ID from D101 to D106 and at least one first state ID from D107 to D109. It is also assumed that the determination result regarding the subject C includes a second state ID of D202a or D202b. In this case, the control unit 11 specifies, as active, state detection modes corresponding to the bed exit function, the sleep function, and the respiratory function associated with the above-mentioned first state ID and second state ID.

[0065] In addition, it is assumed that the determination result includes the first state ID D110 or the second state ID D201a or D201b. In that case, the control unit 11 specifies the state detection mode corresponding to the leaving function associated with the above-mentioned first state ID and second state ID as active.

[0066] A method of identifying a status detection mode to be made active based on the type of sensor will be described. The type of sensor includes the type of sensor itself, such as a piezoelectric sensor 21, a door sensor 22, a microphone, a camera sensor, and a Doppler sensor. The type of sensor also includes types based on model numbers, such as an old model and a new model, when the same sensor is used. The status determination result transmitted from the detection device 2 includes the model number of the sensor stored in the sensor information DB 173. The control unit 11 identifies, as active, a status detection mode corresponding to the model number of the sensor included in the determination result from the sensor information DB 173.

[0067] For example, a type A piezoelectric sensor is used to detect the status of subjects A and B. In this case, the determination result transmitted from the detection device 2 includes SO1. SO1 is a model number indicating the type A piezoelectric sensor. The control unit 11 specifies the status detection mode corresponding to the bed exit function and the sleep function associated with SO1 as active.

[0068] For example, a type B piezoelectric sensor is used to detect the condition of the subject C. In this case, the determination result transmitted from the detection device 2 includes SO2. SO2 is a model number indicating the type B piezoelectric sensor. The control unit 11 specifies, as active, the condition detection modes corresponding to the bed exit function, sleep function, excretion function, respiratory function, cardiac function, and agitation function associated with SO2.

[0069] In addition, it is assumed that the determination result regarding the target person includes DO1. DO1 is a model number indicating a door sensor. The control unit 11 specifies the state detection mode corresponding to the exit function associated with DO1 as active.

[0070] In addition, it is assumed that the determination result regarding the subject includes a plurality of model numbers. In this case, the control unit 11 identifies the state detection modes associated with the plurality of model numbers from the sensor information DB 173 as active, respectively.

[0071] The sensor name used for the subject may be manually registered when registering information about the subject. In this case, the sensor name used for the subject is stored in the subject DB 171. The control unit 11 identifies the state detection mode associated with the sensor name as active from the sensor information DB 173.

[0072] An embodiment in which the status detection mode to be activated is specified by the type of sensor will be described below. Fig. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a screen for accepting the setting of the status detection mode to be activated to ON or OFF. After the input of the subject ID and the specification of the status detection mode to be activated are completed, the screen is output to the display unit 15 in association with the subject ID. The control unit 11 becomes able to accept the setting of the status detection mode to be ON or OFF for each subject.

[0073] In the screen shown in Fig. 8, the bed exit function setting button 11a and the sleep function setting button 11b are output in bold. That is, the control unit 11 specifies the state detection mode corresponding to the bed exit function and the sleep function as active based on the type of sensor. The control unit 11 accepts touch (click) operations on the bed exit function setting button 11a and the sleep function setting button 11b.

[0074] In this screen, the exit function setting button 11c, the respiratory function setting button 11d, the agitation function setting button 11e, the excretion function setting button 11f, and the cardiac function setting button 11g are output in light characters. That is, the control unit 11 specifies the state detection modes corresponding to the exit function, the respiratory function, the agitation function, the excretion function, and the cardiac function as inactive based on the type of sensor. The control unit 11 does not accept touch (click) operations for the exit function setting button 11c, the respiratory function setting button 11d, the agitation function setting button 11e, the excretion function setting button 11f, and the cardiac function setting button 11g.

[0075] The display format of the exit function setting button 11c, the respiratory function setting button 11d, the agitation function setting button 11e, the excretion function setting button 11f, and the heart function setting button 11g is not limited to this. The above-mentioned buttons may be output semi-transparently. The above-mentioned buttons may be erased.

[0076] When the computer 1 receives a touch (click) operation on the above-mentioned button, the computer 1 may output a message including a message that the change is not accepted on the screen. The buttons shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 are set to OFF beforehand, but may be set to ON beforehand. The above-mentioned buttons may be in the form used in an input form such as a radio button, a check box, and a select box.

[0077] The control unit 11 acquires a status detection ID corresponding to the information detection mode for which an on-setting has been accepted from the on / off settings for the status detection modes shown in Fig. 7 or Fig. 8, from the status detection DB 172. The control unit 11 generates a status determination ID. The control unit 11 stores the status determination ID in the status determination DB 176.

[0078] The control unit 11 stores the subject ID and the condition detection ID in the condition determination DB 176 in association with the condition determination ID. The control unit 11 reads out a detection icon associated with the condition detection ID from the condition detection DB 172. The control unit 11 outputs the read out detection icon to the display unit 15. The control unit 11 transmits an on or off setting for the above-mentioned condition detection mode to the detection device 2.

[0079] The control unit 24 receives the on or off setting for the status detection mode transmitted by the computer 1. The control unit 24 causes the piezoelectric sensor 21 and the door sensor 22 to reflect the on or off setting of the status detection mode that has been received.

[0080] 9 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a display screen according to embodiment 1. The screen is output to the display unit 15. A combination of a detection icon, a first status icon, and information identifying a subject is output to the screen for each subject (A, B, and C).

[0081] The control unit 11 extracts a record including a specific subject ID from the state determination DB 176 shown in FIG. 5. The specific subject ID is, for example, a subject ID that can uniquely identify the subject A, the subject B, and the subject C. The control unit 11 identifies the state detection ID included in the extracted record of the state determination DB 176. The control unit 11 extracts a record including the identified state detection ID from the state detection DB 172. The control unit 11 reads out the detection icon included in the extracted record of the state detection DB 172. The control unit 11 outputs the read out detection icon to the screen. The detection icon is output to areas d01, d02, and d03 of the screen. The detection icon i01 for the bed exit function is output to the area d01. The detection icon i01 for the bed exit function and the detection icon i02 for the sleep function are output to the area d02. In the area d03, a detection icon i01 for the bed exit function, a detection icon i02 for the sleep function, and a detection icon i03 for the respiratory function are output. The first status icon and the information for identifying the subject will be described later.

[0082] A method of outputting a detection icon for subject A on the screen is shown. The control unit 11 extracts records including T00A in the subject ID column from the status determination DB 176 shown in FIG. 5. The control unit 11 identifies Z001 stored in the status detection mode column set to ON from the extracted records. Z001 is a status detection ID indicating a status detection mode corresponding to the bed exit function. The control unit 11 reads out a detection icon i01 for the bed exit function corresponding to Z001 from the status detection DB 172. The control unit 11 outputs the read out detection icon i01 for the bed exit function to the area d01.

[0083] A method of outputting the detection icon of the subject B on the screen is shown. The control unit 11 extracts records including T00B in the subject ID column from the state determination DB 176 shown in FIG. 5. The control unit 11 identifies Z001 and Z002 stored in the state detection mode column set to ON from the extracted records. Z002 is a state detection ID indicating a state detection mode corresponding to the sleep function. The control unit 11 reads out the detection icon i01 for the bed exit function corresponding to Z001 and the detection icon i02 for the sleep function corresponding to Z002 from the state detection DB 172. The control unit 11 outputs the read detection icon i01 for the bed exit function and the detection icon i02 for the sleep function to the area d02.

[0084] A method of outputting the detection icon of the subject C on the screen is shown.

The control unit 11 identifies Z001, Z002, and Z012 stored in the state detection mode column set to ON from the extracted records. Z012 is a state detection ID indicating a state detection mode corresponding to the respiratory function. The control unit 11 reads out the detection icon i01 for the bed exit function corresponding to Z001, the detection icon i02 for the sleep function corresponding to Z002, and the detection icon i03 for the respiratory function corresponding to Z012 from the state detection DB 172. The control unit 11 outputs the read detection icon i01 for the bed exit function, the detection icon i02 for the sleep function, and the detection icon i03 for the respiratory function to the area d03.

[0085] The control unit 11 specifies the status detection modes corresponding to the bed exit function and the sleep function as active for the subject A. The control unit 11 accepts the setting of the status detection mode corresponding to the bed exit function to be on for the subject A.

[0086] The control unit 11 specifies the state detection modes corresponding to the bed getting out function and the sleep function as active for the subject B.

In this case, the control unit 11 can specify a status detection mode to be active from among a plurality of types of status detection modes based on the type of sensor used by the subject. Specifically, the control unit 11 extracts the model number of the sensor included in the determination result (step S102). The control unit 11 specifies a status detection mode associated with the extracted model number of the sensor as active from the sensor information DB 173 (step S103). The control unit 11 outputs a setting screen for the plurality of types of status detection modes to the display unit 15 in association with the subject ID (step S104). At this time, the status detection mode specified as active on the setting screen is output in a form in which on or off can be selected by an input form or the like. On the other hand, the status detection mode specified as inactive is output in a form in which on or off cannot be selected by changing the display format or the like. The control unit 11 receives an on or off setting for a plurality of status detection modes via the input unit 13 (step S105).

Explanation of parts that overlap with Fig. 9 will be omitted. On this screen, a combination of a detection icon, a first status icon, information for identifying the subject, and a second status icon is output for each subject (A, B, and C) in order from the top. Note that the order of the above-mentioned combinations can be freely changed.

[0114] The control unit 11 specifies the first state ID and the second state ID corresponding to a specific target ID in the state determination DB 176 shown in FIG. 12. The control unit 11 reads out information for identifying the target corresponding to the target ID (the target's name, the room number, the model number of the sensor, etc.) from the target DB 171. In this embodiment, the information for identifying the target is described as the target's name. The control unit 11 reads out a first state icon corresponding to the specified first state ID from the first state DB 174. The control unit 11 reads out a second state icon corresponding to the specified second state ID from the second state DB 175. The control unit 11 outputs the read out name, first state icon, and second state icon of the target to the screen. The first state icon is output to the area d11, the area d12, and the area d13. The target's name is output to the area d31, the area d32, and the area d33. The second state icon is output to the area d21, the area d22, and the area d23.

[0115] Note that the display method for the combination of the detection icon, the first status icon, the subject's name, and the second status icon is not limited to the example shown in Fig. 14. In Fig. 14, the above-mentioned combinations are arranged vertically for each subject. The above-mentioned combinations may be arranged horizontally for each subject.

[0116] A method of outputting the subject's name, the first status icon, and the second status icon for the subject A to the display unit 15 will be described. The control unit 11 specifies D105 and D202a corresponding to T00A in the status determination DB 176 shown in FIG. 12. The control unit 11 reads out the subject's name "A", the first status icon i11 for getting out of bed, and the second status icon i203 corresponding to T00A, D105, and D202a, respectively. The control unit 11 outputs the subject's name "A", the first status icon i11 for getting out of bed, and the second status icon i203 for getting out of bed that have been read out to the display unit 15. In the example of FIG. 14, the subject's name "A" is output to the area d31, the first status icon i11 for getting out of bed is output to the area d11, and the second status icon i203 is output to the area d21.

[0117] The output method of the above-mentioned combinations for the subject B will be described. The control unit 11 identifies D107 and D202b corresponding to T00B from the state determination DB 176. The control unit 11 reads out the subject's name "B", the first state icon i12 for light sleep, and the second state icon i204 corresponding to T00B, D107, and D202b, respectively. The subsequent processes are omitted because they are similar to those for the subject A. In the example of FIG. 14, the subject's name "B" is output to the area d32, the first state icon i12 for light sleep is output to the area d12, and the second state icon i204 is output to the area d22. The control unit 11 may output the second state icon i203' to the screen instead of the second state icon i204. When the detection device 2 determines that there is no abnormality in the lungs, the control unit 11 may output the second state icon i204 or the second state icon i203' to the screen.

[0118] The output method of the above-mentioned combinations for the subject C will be described. The control unit 11 identifies Z013, D107, and D202a and D205a corresponding to T00C in the state determination DB 176. The control unit 11 reads out the subject's name "C", the cardiac function detection icon i04, the first state icon i12 for light sleep, the second state icon i203, and the second state icon i209 corresponding to T00C, Z013, D107, and D202a and D205a, respectively. The subsequent processing is omitted because it is similar to that for the subject A. In the example of FIG. 14, the subject's name "C" is output to the area d33, the cardiac function detection icon i04 is output to the area d03, the first state icon i12 for light sleep is output to the area d13, and the second state icon i203 and the second state icon i209 are output to the area d23.

[0119] 15 and 16 are flowcharts showing a processing procedure according to the second embodiment. The flowcharts shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 are obtained by adding steps S201 to S214 to steps S101 to S114 shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11. The procedures from step S101 to step S114 are similar to those in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, and therefore will not be described. The control unit 24 reflects the setting for the state detection mode for detecting the first state and the second state in the piezoelectric sensor 21 and the door sensor 22 (step S201). The control unit 24 acquires the detection signals of the subject output from the piezoelectric sensor 21 and the door sensor 22 (step S202). The signal extraction unit 241 extracts feature signals (heartbeat signal, respiratory vibration signal, body movement signal, snoring signal, accessory noise signal, intestinal peristalsis sound signal, and opening / closing signal) from the acquired detection signals using a well-known technique such as frequency separation (step S203). The determination unit 242 inputs the extracted feature signal to the estimation model 251 to determine the state of the subject (step S204). The control unit 24 acquires a first state ID and a second state ID corresponding to the state of the subject determined by the determination unit 242 from the storage unit 25 (step S205). The control unit 24 links the first state ID and the second state ID to the subject ID (step S206). The control unit 24 transmits the subject ID, the first state ID, and the second state ID to the computer 1 (step S207).

[0120] The control unit 11 receives the subject ID, the first state ID, and the second state ID transmitted from the detection device 2 (step S208).

[0152] 28 and 29 are flowcharts showing a processing procedure according to the fifth embodiment. The control unit 11 acquires a subject ID input via the input unit 13 (step S501). The control unit 11 displays a screen for accepting an on or off setting of the state detection mode on the display unit 15 (step S502). The control unit 11 refers to the state detection DB 172 and acquires a state detection ID of the state detection mode for which an on setting has been accepted (step S503). The control unit 11 generates a state determination ID (step S504). The control unit 11 stores the subject ID and the state detection ID in the state determination DB 176 in association with the state determination ID (step S505). The control unit 11 reads out a detection icon associated with the state detection ID from the state detection DB 172 (step S506). The control unit 11 judges whether or not the reading of the detection icons has been completed for all subjects (step S507). When the control unit 11 determines that the readout of the detection icons for all the subjects has not been completed (step S507: NO), the control unit 11 returns the process to step S501. When the control unit 11 determines that the readout of the detection icons for all the subjects has been completed (step S507: YES), the control unit 11 displays a display screen including the readout detection icons for each subject on the display unit 15 (step S508). The control unit 11 determines whether or not the selection of the detection icon for the photographing function has been accepted (step S509). When the control unit 11 determines that the selection of the detection icon for the photographing function has not been accepted (step S509: NO), the control unit 11 returns the process to step S508. When the control unit 11 determines that the selection of the detection icon for the photographing function has been accepted (step S509: YES), the control unit 11 transmits a photographing instruction to the camera 3 (step S510).

[0153] The control unit 31 receives the image capturing instruction transmitted from the computer 1 (step S511). The control unit 31 acquires an image capturing the state of the subject using the imaging unit 34 (step S512). The control unit 31 transmits the acquired image to the computer 1 immediately or at predetermined time intervals (step S513).

[0154] The control unit 11 receives the image transmitted from the camera 3 (step S514). The control unit 11 displays a screen including the received image on the display unit 15 (step S515).

[0155] In the fifth embodiment, the computer 1 accepts the on or off setting for a plurality of status detection modes for each subject, but this is not limited thereto. An example may be applied in which the status detection mode to be activated among the plurality of status detection modes is specified for each subject based on the type of sensor, etc. Even in this case, the control unit 11 can accept the on or off setting for the status detection mode corresponding to the photographing function for each subject, regardless of the type of sensor, etc. For example, in FIG. 8, the status detection modes other than the status detection modes to be activated (for example, the bed exit function and the sleep function) are output in light characters, and the on or off setting cannot be accepted. On the other hand, the status detection mode corresponding to the photographing function is output in bold characters, regardless of the type of sensor, etc., and the on or off setting can be accepted.

[0156] In this embodiment, an example in which the camera 3 and the computer 1 are communicatively connected will be described, but the present invention is not limited to this. The camera 3 may also be communicatively connected to a terminal device (not shown) owned by a user of the monitoring system. The processing in this case will be described. When the camera 3 receives a shooting instruction, it shoots an image of the subject's condition. The camera 3 transmits the captured image directly to the terminal device without going through the computer 1. The terminal device receives the image transmitted from the camera 3. The terminal device can display the received image on the display unit of the terminal device. When the computer 1 is an external server, the monitoring system can protect the privacy of the subject by directly transmitting the image captured by the camera 3 to the terminal device. The user of the monitoring system can check the image of the subject's condition on his or her own terminal device.

[0157] From the fifth embodiment, the monitoring system can obtain an on or off setting for the status detection mode corresponding to the photographing function for each subject, and output a detection icon for the set photographing function for each subject.

[0158] From the fifth embodiment, when the monitoring system receives a setting for turning on the condition detection mode corresponding to the photographing function and receives a selection of the detection icon for the photographing function, it can output an image capturing the condition of the subject.

[0159] According to the fifth embodiment, the user of the monitoring system can check the state of the subject indicated by the first status icon and the actual state of the subject.

[0160] (Embodiment 6) In the sixth embodiment, an example will be described in which, when the monitoring system accepts the selection of a detection icon or the like, an image capturing the state of a subject is output. The control unit 11 judges whether or not the selection of the detection icon, the first status icon, or the information identifying the subject displayed on the display screen of FIG. 26 has been accepted via the input unit 13. When the control unit 11 judges that the selection of the detection icon, the first status icon, or the information identifying the subject has not been accepted, the control unit 11 continues to display the display screen of FIG. 26. When the control unit 11 judges that the selection of the detection icon, the first status icon, or the information identifying the subject has been accepted, the control unit 11 displays a screen for confirming the state of the subject (hereinafter, referred to as a confirmation screen).
