Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a monitoring system that can be used in facilities where multiple monitored individuals (residents) live and multiple monitors (facility staff) provide nursing care services to the monitored individuals, and that can reliably respond if an abnormality such as a fall is detected in a monitored individual. [Background technology]

[0002] Various monitoring systems have been proposed for use in such nursing care facilities, which notify the monitor of any abnormality that may have occurred in a monitored person when such an abnormality is detected. For example, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2006-202123) describes a remote safety monitoring method that constantly monitors a monitored person for abnormalities and issues warnings without omissions or noise while respecting the monitored person's privacy, and that, when an abnormality is determined (S28: YES in Figure 9), displays a warning screen (73b) as a pop-up on the main screen (73a) of the monitor terminal (6) (see, in particular, paragraphs 0008, 0074, 0075, 0080 and Figures 3, 9, 15, and 16). However, in this remote safety monitoring method, if the monitor does not notice the warning screen (73b), there is a risk that the monitor may be late in responding to the monitored person who is determined to be abnormal.

[0003] Furthermore, Patent Document 2 (JP 2018-501594 A) describes that in a system (200) for monitoring people, which includes an analysis module (202), an alert module (204), a sensor (208), a remote system (214), a local device (216), etc., when the monitored person is identified as being in an undesirable state, the alert module (204) sends an alert signal to the local device (216), which then issues an alert warning; one of several caretakers contacts the remote system (214) to indicate that the caretakers will address the problem; and the remote system (214) contacts the other caretakers and notifies them that one of the caretakers is addressing the problem (see, in particular, paragraphs 0064 to 0066, 0073, and Figure 2). However, in the system for monitoring people (200), it is unclear how the local device (216) communicates an alert, which can lead to a delay in responding to a monitored person identified as experiencing an undesirable condition. Furthermore, it is unclear how the remote system (214) communicates that one of the caretakers is addressing a problem, which can lead to the other caretakers not receiving the appropriate notification.

The watching system according to the first embodiment has the following configuration. (A) Sensor 1 installed in the living space (room) of each monitored person in a nursing care facility Sensor 1 detects a fall of the monitored person, and if it detects that the monitored person is unable to get up even after 90 seconds have passed since the fall was detected, it determines that an abnormality has occurred and creates and transmits abnormality information (fall message) including the sensor ID, the time of fall detection, the time of fall notification, and the coordinates of the fall. It also detects the presence and status of the person being monitored, and creates and transmits presence information and status information. (B) Information processing means 2 that receives abnormality information transmitted from the sensor 1 and executes necessary processing (C) The monitor terminal 20 and the monitor mobile phone 21 carried by each monitor. (D) Resident family cell phones 31 owned by the family members (resident family members) of each monitored person.

[0015] The information processing means 2 is configured as a cloud having the following various functional means. (2A) An incident information receiving means (MQTT broker 3 and message brokers 4 and 5 in FIG. 1) that receives the fall message sent from the sensor 1 and transfers the fall message to the call / email sending means and incident notification command means described later. (2B) Based on the fall message sent from the message broker 4, the call / email sending means (in FIG. 1, the call / email sending subscriber 9) acquires the name of the monitor, contact information in case of a fall (telephone number, e-mail address), and notification / non-notification status from the relational database 17, creates voice information and makes an automated voice call via the voice information sending means 18 to each monitor's mobile phone 21 and each resident's family mobile phone 31, and creates text information and sends e-mail via the e-mail sending means 19. (2C) An abnormality notification command means (a fall message processing subscriber 10 in FIG. 1 ) that stores the fall message sent from the message broker 5 in the NoSQL database 13 and the relational database 17, and generates abnormality notification command information including abnormal person information, the fall detection time, the fall notification time, and the fall coordinates for the monitored person corresponding to the sensor ID based on the fall message, and transmits the abnormality notification command information to each monitor terminal 20 via the processing side transmission / reception means 16.

[0016] (2D) Presence information receiving means (MQTT broker 3 and message brokers 4 and 6 in FIG. 1) that receives the presence information of the monitored person transmitted from the sensor 1 and transfers the presence information to the presence notification command means described later. (2E) A presence notification command means (in FIG. 1, a presence information processing subscriber 11) that stores the presence information transmitted from the message broker 6 in the NoSQL database 14 and the relational database 17, and generates presence notification command information including the presence information, the presence detection time, and the presence notification time for the monitored person corresponding to the sensor ID based on the presence information, and transmits the presence notification command information to each monitor terminal 20 via the processing side transmission / reception means 16. (2F) Status information receiving means (MQTT broker 3 and message brokers 4 and 7 in Figure 1) that receives status information of the monitored person transmitted from the sensor 1 and transfers the status information to the status notification command means described later. (2G) A status notification command means (in FIG. 1, a status information processing subscriber 12) that stores the status information sent from the message broker 7 in the NoSQL database 15 and the relational database 17, and generates status notification command information including status information about the monitored person corresponding to the sensor ID, the status detection time, and the status notification time based on the status information, and transmits the status notification command information to each monitor terminal 20 via the processing side transmission / reception means 16. The subscriber 9 for making phone calls and sending emails, the subscriber 10 for processing fall messages, the subscriber 11 for processing presence information, the subscriber 12 for processing status information, the NoSQL databases 13 to 15, the processing side transmission / reception means 16, and the relational database 17 are installed on a springboard server 8 on the cloud.

[0017] (2H) When the processing-side transmission / reception means 16 receives the response-in-progress information, it generates the incident response-in-progress information including the received terminal ID, stores it in the NoSQL database 13 and the relational database 17, and transmits it to each supervisor terminal 20 via the processing-side transmission / reception means 16 (in FIG. 1, this is the situation information processing subscriber 12). (2I) When the processing-side transmission / reception means 16 receives the response completion information, it generates incident response completion information including the received terminal ID, stores the information in the NoSQL database 13 and the relational database 17, and transmits the information to each supervisor terminal 20 via the processing-side transmission / reception means 16 (in FIG. 1, this is the presence information processing subscriber 11).

[0018] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the monitor terminal 20 according to the first embodiment, FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a monitoring screen according to the first embodiment, FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a monitoring screen according to the first embodiment when it is determined that an abnormality has occurred, and FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a monitoring screen according to the first embodiment while responding to the abnormality. The supervisor terminal 20 according to the first embodiment includes the following units. (3A) Terminal-side transmitting / receiving means 22 for transmitting / receiving various information to / from the information processing means 2 (the processing-side transmitting / receiving means 16 described above) (3B) Status display means 23 for displaying a monitoring screen (e.g., FIG. 3) informing the status of the monitored person. (3C) When the terminal-side transmitting / receiving means 22 receives the abnormality notification command information, the warning notification means 24 additionally displays an attention-calling display window (for example, a window containing "Possible fall!" in FIG. 4) in the status notification area of ​​the monitored person corresponding to the received abnormality information (for example, the second window from the left in the upper row in FIG. 4), and also displays a warning display (for example, "Possible fall!" in FIGS. 4 and 5), abnormality information (for example, "101 Yamada Taro" in FIGS. 4 and 5), the location of the fall (for example, "Bedroom" in FIGS. 4 and 5), and an unattended button, an in-attempt button, and an attended button (for example, the characters "unattended," "attempting," and "attended" in FIGS. 4 and 5) in an area other than the status notification area of ​​the monitored person. (3D) A warning sound vibration generating means 25 that can generate a warning sound or a warning vibration when the terminal side transmitting / receiving means 22 receives the abnormality notification command information (in the first embodiment, only the warning sound vibration generating means 25 of the monitor terminal 20 carried by the monitor in charge of the fallen monitored person generates a warning sound or a warning vibration when it receives the abnormality notification command information).

[0019] (3E) A response information transmitting means 26 that generates response information including a terminal ID when the response button is operated and transmits the information to the information processing means 2 via the terminal side transmitting / receiving means 22. (3F) A handled information transmitting means 27 that generates handled information including a terminal ID when the handled button is operated and transmits the information to the information processing means 2 via the terminal side transmitting / receiving means 22. (3G) When an incident response information is received, the operation of the alarm vibration generating means 25 is stopped, and the incident response notification means 28 displays on the monitoring screen by flashing the response button or by displaying a specific color that indicates that the monitor corresponding to the received terminal ID is responding to an incident (for example, in FIG. 5, the corresponding monitor is highlighted, and the surrounding area of ​​"responding" is a conspicuous orange color). (3H) When the abnormality response completion information is received, the warning notification stop means 29 stops the operation of the warning notification means 24 (for example, returns to the state of FIG. 3).

[0020] FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the fall processing in the monitoring system of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, in the watching system according to the first embodiment, when monitoring is started to determine whether or not the person being monitored has fallen, the following steps 1 to 10 are carried out. (Step 1) <Monitoring> The sensor 1 detects whether or not the monitored person has fallen. (Step 2) <Fall detection> When the sensor 1 detects that the monitored person has fallen, the process proceeds to step 3. (Step 3) <Fall detection> It detects whether the monitored person is unable to get up even after 90 seconds have passed since the fall was detected. If the patient is able to get up, it is determined that there is no abnormality (NO) and the process returns to step 1, whereas if the patient is unable to get up, it is determined that there is an abnormality (YES) and the process proceeds to step 4. (Step 4) <Create a fall message> The abnormality information (fall message) including the sensor ID, the time of fall detection, the time of fall notification, and the fall coordinates is created and transmitted to the information processing means 2, and the process proceeds to step 5. (Step 5) <Sensor information acquisition> Based on the sent fall message, the monitor's name, contact information in case of a fall (telephone number, email address), and notification / non-notification status are obtained from the sensor master (relational database 17 in Figure 1), and then proceed to step 6. (Step 6) <Determine whether to notify or not> If the classification obtained in step 5 is "notification," it is determined that notification will be sent (YES) and the process proceeds to step 7. If the classification is "non-notification", it is determined that notification will not be made (NO), and the process proceeds to step 8. (Step 7) <Phone and email notification> Voice information is created and an automated voice call is made to each supervisor's mobile phone 21 and each resident's family mobile phone 31, text information is created and an e-mail is sent, and then the process proceeds to step 8. (Step 8) <Storing fall information> The fall message created in step 4 is stored in a fall data file (NoSQL database 13 and relational database 17 in Fig. 1), and abnormality notification command information is generated and sent to each supervisor terminal 20. Each supervisor terminal 20 activates the warning notification means 24, and displays on the monitoring screen an attention-call display window, a warning display, information about the person who has fallen, the location of the fall, and an unattended button, an in-attempt button, and an attended button (see Figs. 3 to 5), and the supervisor terminal 20 of the supervisor in charge activates the warning sound and vibration generation means 25.

[0021] (Step 9) <Getting the fall message> When the processing side transmitting / receiving means 16 receives the in-service information, it acquires the fall message created in step 4 and proceeds to step 10. (Step 10) <Fall response process> Based on the received response information and the fall message acquired in step 9, incident response information is generated, the fall data file is updated, and is sent to each supervisor terminal 20. Each supervisor terminal 20 activates the incident response notification means 28, stops the operation of the alarm vibration generation means 25, and displays on the monitoring screen the corresponding supervisor and the fact that an incident is being responded to (see Figure 5). (Step 11) <Fall response processing> When the processing side transmitting / receiving means 16 receives the response completion information, it generates incident response completion information, stores it in the fall data file, and transmits it to each supervisor terminal 20. Each supervisor terminal 20 activates the warning notification stop means 29 to stop the operation of the warning notification means 24. [Example]

[0022] FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a fall notification details screen according to the second embodiment. The monitoring system according to the second embodiment has all the configurations and functions of the monitoring system according to the first embodiment, and is also capable of displaying the fall notification details screen shown in FIG. Therefore, only the fall notification details screen will be described, and the same components as those in the monitoring system according to the first embodiment will be described using the same numbers as those in the first embodiment.

[0023] On the monitoring screen of the monitoring system according to Example 2, when the monitoring status is clicked, a submenu (a list of presence status, a list of fall notifications, and a list of various notifications) is displayed, and when the fall notification list is clicked, a fall notification list screen is displayed, and when the desired fall notification is selected from the list, the fall notification details screen shown in FIG. 7 is displayed. The fall notification details screen has columns in the center for the time the fall occurred, the date and time the event was detected, the fall coordinates, the room name, the user name, the device name, the device ID, the device installation location, the response status, the responder, and the response time, and on the right side, based on the fall coordinates displayed in the fall coordinates column, a pictogram is displayed on a floor plan of the room where the monitored person is staying, so that it can be seen at a glance where the fall occurred in the room. In addition, the information displayed in each column is identified from the sensor ID, fall detection time, fall notification time, and fall coordinates contained in the fall message created by sensor 1 and stored in the fall data file (NoSQL database 13 and relational database 17 in Figure 1), the name of the monitor and whether they notified or notified, which are obtained from the sensor master (relational database 17 in Figure 1) based on the fall message, the name of the responder contained in the incident response in progress information generated by the incident response notification command means (situation information processing subscriber 12 in Figure 1) and stored in the fall data file, and the response completion time contained in the incident response completion information generated by the incident response completion notification command means (presence information processing subscriber 11 in Figure 1) and stored in the fall data file.

[0024] Modifications of the monitoring systems according to the first and second embodiments will be listed below. (1) The monitoring systems of Examples 1 and 2 were intended to be used in nursing care facilities where multiple monitored individuals live and multiple monitors (facility staff) provide nursing care services to the monitored individuals. However, they can also be used in various welfare facilities (child welfare facilities, disability support facilities, first aid facilities), visiting nursing care services, etc., in addition to nursing care facilities. (2) In Examples 1 and 2, the sensor 1 detects a fall of the monitored person and determines that an abnormality has occurred if it detects that the monitored person is unable to get up even after 90 seconds have passed since the fall was detected. However, the elapsed time used as the basis for determination is not limited to 90 seconds, but may be 80 seconds or 100 seconds. Therefore, the claims state "even after a predetermined time has passed." Furthermore, the predetermined time may not be a fixed time, but may be an indefinite time depending on the monitored person's age, level of care required, etc. Such an indefinite time period allows for more accurate determination of an abnormality. (3) In Examples 1 and 2, the sensor 1 detects the presence and situation of the monitored person, and creates and transmits presence information and situation information. However, if it is sufficient to detect a fall of the monitored person, display a warning, or the like, and notify that a response is being made or has been made, these functions are unnecessary, and the subscriber 11 for processing presence information and the subscriber 12 for processing situation information are also unnecessary.

[0025] (4) In the first and second embodiments, the information processing means 2 is configured as a cloud having various functional means, but may be configured as a server installed in a care facility, a management center, or the like. (5) The monitoring systems of Examples 1 and 2 were capable of sending automated voice calls and e-mails to each monitor's mobile phone 21 and each resident's family mobile phone 31 based on a fall message, but it may be possible to only send either automated voice calls or e-mails, or it may be possible not to send either calls or e-mails.

[0026] (6) The abnormality notification command means (subscriber 10 for processing fall messages) of the monitoring system according to Example 1 generates abnormality notification command information based on the fall message, including abnormal person information about the monitored person corresponding to the sensor ID, the time of fall detection, the time of fall notification, and the fall coordinates. However, the abnormality notification command information does not have to include the time of fall detection, the time of fall notification, and the fall coordinates. (7) In the monitoring system according to the first embodiment, the fall messages sent from the message brokers 5 to 7 are stored in the NoSQL databases 13 to 15 and the relational database 17, but this is not an essential function. However, it is a necessary function when the fall notification detail screen display function is added in the second embodiment or when a monitoring history reference function is added.
