Monitoring Support System

Abstract

To provide a monitoring support system that enables multiple monitors to quickly and efficiently grasp changes in the state of the person being monitored and enables quick and low-burden communication between the monitors. 【Solution means】A monitoring support system used to assist a monitor in monitoring a person to be monitored, comprising an input unit, a memory, and a processing unit. The input unit inputs measurement data from a monitoring sensor 13 installed in the home of the person to be monitored. Based on the input measurement data, the processing unit determines the state of the person to be monitored and generates a monitored person state notification message. The processing unit then performs a process of transmitting the generated monitored person state notification message to a monitor terminal device 15 used by the monitor.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a monitoring support system used when a family monitors an elderly person or the like indoors.

Background Art

[0002] There is a monitoring service that supports relatives such as children in monitoring a parent living alone. In the conventional monitoring service, the indoor state of a parent or the like is monitored, and a monitoring notification indicating the state is notified to each of a plurality of children.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in the conventional monitoring service, since notifications are sent to each of a plurality of children, the children who receive the notifications need to contact each other individually to confirm who will handle the situation, which is time-consuming and laborious. In addition, the related parties who receive the notifications have to contact the monitoring business operator individually, which is time-consuming for communication, and there is a problem that the communication is delayed and it is difficult to make a prompt and appropriate response. In addition, since it is not clear who will handle the response to the notification, there is a concern that the sense of responsibility will be weakened and the response will be delayed.

[0005] In view of the problems of the above-described conventional technologies, the present invention aims to provide a monitoring support system that enables a plurality of monitors to quickly and efficiently grasp changes in the state of a person under monitoring and enables quick and low-burden communication between the monitors. Another object of the present invention is to provide a monitoring support system that enables smooth communication between the person being monitored and the monitor. **Means for Solving the Problems**

[0006] The present invention is a monitoring support system used to assist a monitor in monitoring a person to be monitored, comprising an input unit, a memory, and a processing unit. The input unit inputs measurement data from a monitoring sensor installed in the home of the person to be monitored, and based on the input measurement data, the processing unit determines the state of the person to be monitored and generates a monitored person state notification message. The processing unit performs a process of transmitting the generated monitored person state notification message to a monitor terminal device used by the monitor. **Advantages of the Invention**

[0007] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a monitoring support system that enables multiple monitors to quickly and efficiently grasp changes in the state of the person being monitored, and enables quick and low-burden communication between monitors. In addition, the present invention can provide a monitoring support system that enables smooth communication between the person being monitored and the monitor. **Brief Description of the Drawings**

[0009] Hereinafter, a monitoring service system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a network configuration diagram of a monitoring service system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, in the monitoring service system 1, for example, the monitoring server 11, the monitoring sensor 13, the monitor terminal device 15, and the monitored terminal device 17 provide a monitoring service while communicating by messages.

[0010] In the monitoring service system 1, communication means are integrated. That is, it provides the construction of a platform that unifies communication with the monitoring business operator and makes it easier for children to share information. Thereby, the efficiency of monitoring can be improved, and the burden on children can be reduced.

[0011] <Acquisition of Measurement Data> FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of transmitting the measurement data measured by the monitoring sensor 13 to the monitoring server 11. Step ST11: The monitoring sensor 13 measures the carbon dioxide concentration data and the human presence data of the room where the monitoring sensor 13 is installed, as will be described later.

[0012] Step ST12: The monitoring sensor 13 stores the carbon dioxide concentration data and the human presence data measured in step ST11 in the memory.

[0013] Step ST13: When the monitoring sensor 13 satisfies a predetermined condition, it transmits the measurement data including the carbon dioxide concentration data and the human presence data to the monitoring server 11.

[0014] <Operation of Notifying the State of the Monitored Person> FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of notifying the state of the monitored person. Step ST21: The monitoring server 11 receives the measurement data.

[0015] Step ST22: The monitoring server 11 stores the measurement data received in step ST21 in the memory.

[0016] Step ST23: The monitoring server 11 determines the state (status) of the person being monitored based on the measurement data read from the memory. That is, the monitoring server 11 determines (judges) the state of the person being monitored in the room of the person being monitored's house based on the carbon dioxide concentration in the house of the person being monitored and the detection result of the human presence sensor included in the measurement data.

[0017] Step ST24: When the monitoring server 11 determines that the discrimination result in step ST23 satisfies the message notification condition, it generates a person-being-monitored state notification message according to the discrimination result in step ST43.

[0018] Step ST25: The monitoring server 11 transmits the person-being-monitored state notification message generated in step ST24 to the monitor terminal device 15 via the SNS server 21.

[0019] Hereinafter, each component will be described. <Monitoring Server 11> FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram of the monitoring server 11 shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 4, the monitoring server 11 includes, for example, an input unit 77, a memory 79, and a processing unit 81.

[0020] The input unit 77 communicates with the monitoring sensor 13. If necessary, it may communicate with the monitor terminal device 15 and the person-being-monitored terminal device 17. The input unit 77 inputs data from the outside. The memory 79 stores the program PRG executed by the processing unit 81. The operation of the monitoring server 11 described in this embodiment is defined by the program PRG. The processing unit 81 executes the program PRG stored in the memory 79 to perform the processing of the monitoring server 11 defined in the present embodiment as described above.

[0021] As described above, according to the monitoring service system 1, a plurality of monitors can quickly and efficiently grasp the changes in the state of the person being monitored, and the communication between the monitors can be made quickly and with a low burden. Also, according to the monitoring service system 1, the communication between the person being monitored and the monitor can be smoothly performed.

[0022] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. That is, those skilled in the art may make various changes, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions with respect to the components of the above-described embodiments within the technical scope of the present invention or its equivalent scope.
