Description

  The present invention relates to an emergency call system for transmitting an emergency call, and more particularly to a system using a small terminal for sending an emergency call.

  In recent years, harassment of hospital staff and nurses working at medical facilities has frequently occurred, which is becoming a major social problem. Although it is said that about 40% of hospital staff have experienced personal dangers, hospital facilities have characteristics such as the possibility that hospital rooms are easily closed and people cannot easily enter and exit, It is difficult to build a crime prevention system, and sufficient safety measures have not been prepared at this stage.

  In addition, there are a series of magical cases and kidnapping cases for children on the way to school, and safety measures for low-grade children are particularly urgent. Today, with the diminishing communication between local residents, there are not a few cases where children on their way to school are isolated, and the risk of being involved in incidents is increasing day by day. There are some areas that respond by strengthening the security of the school road, but it is not perfect, and it is hoped that crime prevention measures will be quickly established.

  Therefore, for example, in Patent Document 1, an emergency notification button and a transmission device capable of transmitting a notification are provided on a name tag, and a scheduled notification is transmitted to a management center through a base station provided in the middle of a school route, and a child is notified of an emergency notification. A school road security system that sends an emergency call to a management center when a button is pressed has been proposed. According to this security system, it is possible to monitor the safety state of a child on the way to school, and in the event of an emergency, a notification can be issued simply by pressing a button, so that an emergency can be notified with a simple operation.

JP 2007-297883 A

  However, in the above security system, emergency calls are sent uniformly to the management center, so the child who pressed the emergency button does not help the neighboring people but the management center located in a remote place. Will be asked. In particular, the security officers rush to the scene after the emergency call sent to the management center is transferred to the security company around the scene, so it takes a considerable amount of time to start the rescue operation. There is a risk of delay.

  In the security system described above, the emergency call is always relayed by the management center. Therefore, if a communication failure or malfunction occurs in the management center, the emergency call cannot be transmitted and the emergency notification is interrupted. There is a problem that.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems in the prior art, and promptly transmits an emergency call issued by a reporter to speed up the response to an emergency situation or to a management center. The purpose is to provide an emergency call system and the like that can transmit an emergency call even if such a situation occurs.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is an emergency call system, comprising a plurality of accessory type terminals capable of wirelessly communicating an emergency call, and an emergency call is transmitted from one of the plurality of accessory type terminals. In addition, the emergency call is transmitted to another accessory type terminal.

  According to the present invention, when an emergency call is transmitted from one of the plurality of jewelry-type terminals, the emergency call is transmitted to the other jewelry-type terminals. Can inform the emergency and ask for help. At this time, if even one of the users of the jewelery type terminal that has received the emergency call is in the vicinity of the caller, it is possible to rush to the caller in a short time, so early response to the emergency situation It becomes possible to become.

  In the emergency call system, a plurality of relays that receive an emergency call from the accessory type terminal and transmit the emergency call to the management center, and receive an emergency call from the management center and transmit the emergency call to the accessory type terminal in a communication area An apparatus can be provided.

  According to the above configuration, when an emergency call is issued from any of the jewelry-type terminals, in each of the plurality of relay devices, the emergency call is transmitted to all of the jewelry-type terminals in the communication area. It is possible to notify emergency calls immediately.

  In the emergency notification system, one or more of the plurality of clothing accessory type terminals includes a relay processing unit that receives an emergency notification from another clothing accessory type terminal and transmits the emergency notification to at least one of the management center and the relay device. be able to. Since the accessory type terminal provided with the relay processing unit can directly receive the emergency call from the accessory type terminal, it is possible to detect the emergency more quickly.

  In the emergency call system, the plurality of relay devices are configured to be capable of mutual communication between the relay devices, and when receiving an emergency call from the accessory terminal in a state where the relay device cannot communicate with the management center, The relay device that has received the emergency call can communicate with other relay devices and transmit the emergency call.

  According to the above configuration, even when a failure or the like occurs in the management center and communication is not possible, an emergency call can be transmitted between relay devices, so that the emergency call can be prevented from being interrupted midway. It is possible to transmit the emergency call issued by the reporter to other people without fail.

  In the emergency notification system, the plurality of relay devices can transmit identification information of the relay devices or information corresponding to the installation area to the management center together with the emergency notification received from the accessory terminal.

  According to the above configuration, since the information indicating the position of the relay device is transmitted to the management center, when transmitting an emergency call from the management center to each accessory type terminal, information on the area where the caller is present can be transmitted. it can. As a result, the user who has been notified of the emergency call can easily specify the position of the caller, and can run under the caller in a shorter time.

  In the emergency call system, when the plurality of clothing accessory type terminals are registered in a group in advance and an emergency call is transmitted from one of the plurality of clothing accessory type terminals belonging to the registered group, the emergency notification is sent to the same group. It can be transmitted to other jewelry-type terminals.

  According to the above configuration, for example, by registering a group according to a company department or an emergency contact network, an emergency call can be preferentially transmitted to users in the same group. In addition, it is possible to avoid an emergency call sent from one of the users being randomly transmitted to other users, and it is possible to eliminate the annoyance on the side of receiving the emergency call. become.

  In the emergency call system, the accessory type terminal can transmit identification information for identifying each of the accessory type terminals together with the emergency call. According to this configuration, the accessory type terminal that has issued the emergency call It is possible to transmit an emergency call to another accessory type terminal in a state where the user is identified.

  In the emergency call system, when the management center receives the disaster information, the management center transmits emergency evacuation information including at least evacuation site information to the plurality of relay devices, and the plurality of relay devices are transmitted from the management center. Emergency evacuation information can be transmitted to the accessory terminal in the communication area. According to this configuration, evacuation information can be quickly provided to a large number of clothing accessories type terminals, so that the emergency call system can be effectively used as an evacuation guidance system.

  Further, the present invention is a jewelry-type terminal used in any one of the emergency call systems described above, and according to the present invention, as in the case of the above invention, the emergency call issued by the caller can be promptly transmitted to an emergency situation. It is possible to speed up the response, and to transmit an emergency call even if a failure occurs in the management center.

  In the jewelry type terminal, a display unit that displays the content of the received emergency call and / or a voice output unit that outputs the content of the received emergency call by voice, and one or more that emit light according to the received emergency call And a warning buzzer that generates a buzzer sound in response to the received emergency call.

  The jewelry type terminal may be provided with a plurality of push buttons for sending an emergency call and stopping the call. In addition, the jewelry type terminal may include a strain sensor that detects a strain state, and can selectively transmit an emergency report and stop the report according to the number of strains detected by the strain sensor.

  As described above, according to the present invention, an emergency call issued by a whistleblower can be promptly transmitted to speed up emergency response, or an emergency call can be transmitted even if a failure occurs in the management center, etc. Is possible.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of an emergency call system according to the present invention. This emergency call system (hereinafter abbreviated as “system”) 1 is roughly divided to communicate with a management center 2 and a management center 2. It comprises a plurality of routers 3 and a plurality of report badges 4 etc. that are wirelessly connected to the routers 3. In the following, a case where the system 1 is applied to a hospital facility will be described as an example.

  The management center 2 is a central control device that performs overall management control of the entire system, and includes a communication unit 21 for communicating with a plurality of routers 3. Further, the management center 2 holds management data in which registrant information related to the user who registered the system, router information related to the router 3, and badge information related to the notification badge 4 are recorded. The registrant information is information that records a user name, a group that will be described later, and the like, and the router information is information that records the ID (identifier) of the router 3 and the installation area in association with each other. The badge information is information recorded by associating the ID (identifier) of the notification badge 4 with the user.

  The router 3 is a relay device that relays communication between the management center 2 and the notification badge 4, and is installed for a relatively small area (for example, a hospital room). The router 3 holds in-area information and router information, and each router 3 is set with a unique router ID. Here, the in-area information is created by each router 3 periodically communicating with the report badge 4 in its own communication area, and the ID of the report badge 4 existing in the communication area and its user name. Is recorded. The router information is the same as the router information recorded in the management center 2 and is updated sequentially by periodically communicating with the management center 2.

  The report badge 4 is a badge having a function for transmitting an emergency call, and is distributed to each person such as an employee working at a hospital facility or a visitor visiting the hospital facility. The notification badge 4 has an appearance as shown in FIG. 2, for example, and includes a display unit 42 attached to the badge body 41 and a plurality of push buttons 43 to 45.

  Further, the notification badge 4 has the electrical configuration shown in FIG. 3, and includes the display unit 42 and the push buttons 43 to 45, the RF circuit 46 and the wireless antenna 47 as communication means, and the LED 48 as light emission means. , 49, a buzzer 50 that emits an alarm sound, a CPU 51 that controls the operation of the entire badge, and a battery 52 as an operation power source.

  The report badge 4 can send an emergency call by operating the push buttons 43 to 45 or stop the report. For example, the report badge 4 sets the urgency level at the time of emergency call according to the number of times the button is pressed. In addition, an operation such as long-pressing a button or simultaneously pressing two or more buttons enables registration processing or deletion processing, which will be described later, or switching display contents on the display unit 42. Further, when the report badge 4 moves in the hospital with the movement of the user, the report badge 4 is connected to the nearest router 3 (having a strong radio wave intensity) and receives the router ID of the router 3. A unique badge ID is also set on the reporting badge 4 side, and the ID information is stored in each badge.

  Furthermore, in addition to the above-described configuration, the notification badge 4 is formed by deforming the badge body 41 with a flexible material as shown in FIG. 4 and replacing it with some of the push buttons 43 to 45. The sensor 52 may be built in. In this case, it is possible to select an emergency call transmission operation or a reset operation depending on the number of strains applied to the strain sensor 52, and it is possible to perform processing other than the above by a combination operation with the push button 45.

  Next, the operation of the system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. The system 1 according to the present embodiment can function as a system for mainly transmitting an emergency call after performing a user registration process, but besides that, an evacuation guidance system in the event of a disaster such as a fire or a tsunami It can also function as. Hereinafter, these functions will be described in order.

A. Registration process In the registration process, as shown in FIG. 5, the notification badges 4 a to 4 d are distributed according to a predetermined badge allocation, and the users A to D perform a registration operation. When the users A to D execute the registration operation, the notification badges 4a to 4d transmit the badge ID and transmit the badge ID to the management center 2 via the routers 3a and 3b.

  Next, in the management center 2, the received badge ID is recorded in association with the names of the users A to D registered in advance and held as management data. At this time, group registration can also be performed, and for example, recording can be performed in a manner such as “A of group XX”. This group information can be used as information indicating the user's affiliation or the like, or can be used as information indicating the transmission destination of the emergency call. When the management data is updated, a registration completion signal is transmitted from the management center 2 and transmitted to the notification badges 4a to 4d via the routers 3a and 3b.

  After the registration process is completed, the badge ID and the router ID are periodically transmitted to the management center 2 through the routers 3a and 3b with the closest notification badges 4a to 4d. Then, the management center 2 compares the received router ID with the router information in the management data, and specifies the installation area of the router 3 that has received the transmission signals of the notification badges 4a to 4d. Thus, it is detected which of the routers 3a and 3b is located near each of the notification badges 4a to 4d, and the area where the users A to D exist is grasped.

  Further, at the time of the above, each of the routers 3a and 3b grasps the notification badge in its own area based on the received badge ID and periodically updates the information in the area. Thereby, also on the routers 3a and 3b side, it is grasped which notification badge exists in the own area. Further, at this time, it communicates with the management center 2 to acquire group information of users existing in its own area, and records it as in-area information.

B. Emergency call processing For example, if user A performs an emergency call operation in the communication area of the router 3a, as shown in FIG. 6, an emergency call, a badge ID, and a router ID are transmitted from the report badge 4a (step S1: Yes). , S2) and received by the router 3a. The router 3a that has received the emergency call or the like relays the received signal and transfers it to the communication unit 21 of the management center 2 (step S3). At this time, when the router 3a and the communication unit 21 are in a communicable state and the management center 2 receives an emergency call or the like (step S4: Yes), the management center 2 manages the management data (see FIG. 5). The area where the reporter (user A) and the reporter are located is specified (step S5).

  Next, the reporter information and the position information are transmitted from the management center 2 to both the routers 3a and 3b (step S6). Thereafter, in each of the routers 3a and 3b, the reporter information and the position are assigned to the report badges in the area. Information is transferred (step S7). For example, when the report badge 4b exists in the communication area of the router 3a and the report badges 4c and 4d exist in the communication area of the router 3b, the reporter information from the router 3a to the report badge 4b, etc. And the reporter information and the like are transmitted from the router 3b to the report badges 4c and 4d.

  Thereby, the emergency call issued by the report badge 4a is transmitted to all the report badges 4b to 4d, and the report badge 4b to 4d displays the name of the reporter (user A) and its position on the display unit 42 (see FIG. 2). Is displayed, and the LEDs 48 and 49 and the buzzer 50 (see FIG. 3) are operated to notify the users B to D that an emergency call has been issued. At this time, in addition to displaying the urgency level set at the time of the emergency call on the display unit 42, the light emission color and the light emission pattern of the LEDs 48 and 49 are changed according to the urgency level, and the alarm volume of the buzzer 50 is increased or decreased. Is preferred.

  In this way, when an emergency call is issued from the report badge 4a, in order to send the emergency call to the other report badges 4b to 4d, immediately notify the emergency situation to each person around the reporter and request help. can do. At this time, if even one of the users who received the emergency call is in the vicinity of the caller, it is possible to rush to the caller in a short time, so it is possible to speed up the response to the emergency situation. Become.

  As described above, when the user A of the report badge 4a is registered as a group, when the emergency call is transferred to another report badge, it is not transferred to all the report badges 4 but within the same group. It is also possible to forward only the notification badge 4.

  If the management center 2 cannot communicate with the above processing and there is no response from the management center 2 (step S4: No), the reporter and its position cannot be specified. As shown, in the router 3a, the reporter is specified from the badge ID with reference to the in-area information (see FIG. 5) (step S8).

  Next, mutual communication between the router 3a and the router 3b is started, and the router 3a transmits its own router ID and reporter information to the router 3b (step S9). Then, in the router 3b, the received router ID is compared with the router information held by the router 3b, the installation area of the router 3a is specified, and the area where the reporter is present is grasped.

  Thereafter, as in step S7 of FIG. 6, in each of the routers 3a and 3b, the reporter information and the position information are transmitted to the report badge in the own area, and the user A's display unit 42 displays the report badges 4b to 4d. While displaying a name etc., LED48,49 and the buzzer 50 are operated (step S10).

  At this time as well, if the user A of the report badge 4a is registered in the group, the emergency call can be transferred only to the other report badge 4 in the group. Specifically, in the router 3b, the reporter information received from the router 3a is compared with the in-area information held by the router 3b, and whether or not the report badge 4 belonging to the same group as the report badge 4a exists in the own area. Determine whether. As a result of the determination, if there is a report badge 4 of the same group, the emergency call is transferred to the report badge 4. If not, the information received from the router 3a is transferred without transferring the emergency call to the report badge 4. The data is transferred to the next router 3c as it is.

  As described above, when the management center 2 is in a state where communication is not possible, the communication mode is switched to mutual communication between the routers 3a and 3b, and an emergency call is transmitted between the routers. The emergency call is not interrupted and the emergency call can be reliably transmitted to the other notification badges 4b to 4d.

  Returning to FIG. 6, after the emergency notification is transmitted as described above, when the emergency situation of the user A is resolved and the user A performs a button operation for stopping the notification (step S11: Yes), the notification badge 4a An off signal and a badge ID are transmitted from and transmitted to the communication unit 21 via the router 3a (step S12). At this time, if the management center 2 is in a communicable state (step S13: Yes), the management center 2 identifies the off-operator based on the badge ID and detects that the emergency call of the user A has been stopped. (Step S14). Next, an emergency notification release signal related to the user A is transmitted to the routers 3a and 3b (step S15), and the LEDs 48 and 49 and the buzzer 50 of the notification badges 4b to 4d are stopped (step S16).

  On the other hand, if the management center 2 is in a state where communication is not possible (step S13: No), as shown in FIG. 7, the router 3a confirms that the emergency call of the user A is stopped from the badge ID and the information in the area. It detects (step S17), and transmits a release signal from the router 3a to the router 3b (step S18). After that, in each of the routers 3a and 3b, the release signal is transferred to the notification badge in its own area, and the LEDs 48 and 49 and the buzzer 50 of the notification badges 4b to 4d are stopped (step S19).

  Note that if the user A does not perform the report stop button operation (step S11: No), there is a possibility that the user A has fallen into a dangerous state. To a specialized department and request rescue (steps S20 and S21). At that time, when the management center 2 is in a state where communication is not possible, it is impossible to report to the security company or the like, so the emergency notification state of the notification badges 4b to 4d is continued and a rescue by surrounding users is requested. .

C. Evacuation Guidance Processing Here, for convenience of explanation, as shown in FIG. 8, it is assumed that routers 3a and 3b are installed in the D area and E area, and the router 3c is installed in the evacuation site.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when disaster information is notified to the management center 2 (step S31: Yes), in the management center 2, the evacuation location information indicating the evacuation location, the disaster cause information indicating the cause of the disaster and the location, etc. Create emergency evacuation information including Next, the created emergency evacuation information is transmitted to all of the routers 3a to 3c (step S32), and the emergency evacuation information is transferred from the routers 3a to 3c to the notification badges 4a to 4d (step S33).

  In the notification badges 4a to 4d, the LEDs 48 and 49 and the buzzer 50 issue an alarm to prompt the users A to D to evacuate, and display the evacuation place and disaster contents on the display unit 42 to notify the users A to D. At this time, in order to avoid confusion with an alarm at the time of the previous emergency call, it is preferable to operate the LED 48, 49 by changing the light emission color, the light emission pattern, the sound generation pattern of the buzzer 50, and the like.

  Next, the badge ID and the router ID are transmitted from the notification badges 4a to 4d (step S34), and transmitted to the communication unit 21 through the routers 3a and 3b (step S35). Next, the management center 2 identifies the users A to D based on the badge ID, and detects the positions of the users A to D based on the router ID (step S36). Thereafter, the processes of steps S34 to S36 are repeated every predetermined time, and the positions of the users A to D are periodically detected.

  Next, in the management center 2, it is determined whether or not the evacuation of all the users A to D has been completed based on the transmission signal from the router 3c installed at the evacuation site (step S37). If the completion of the evacuation cannot be confirmed, the evacuee information indicating the name and position of the non-evacuated person is transmitted to the routers 3a to 3c after waiting for the elapse of the specified time (steps S38 and S39). Then, the routers 3a to 3c transfer the non-evacuee information to the notification badges 4a to 4d in the area (step S40), thereby notifying the evacuated user of information about the non-evacuees. Evacuation guidance is continued for users who have not completed evacuation.

  Thereafter, the processes in steps S37 to S40 are repeated until it can be confirmed that all of the users A to D have moved to the evacuation site, and the evacuation guidance process is terminated when the evacuation of all the users is confirmed.

  In this way, all the users A to D are informed to detect the evacuation location by notifying the reporting badges 4a to 4d and detecting the positions of the reporting badges 4a to 4d and confirming the completion of the evacuation. It can be properly evacuated to the evacuation site. In addition, in the above configuration, since the evacuation guidance system is constructed by using some of the functions on the emergency call system (the function that can identify each of the report badges and the function that can detect the position of the report badge), the equipment cost As a result, it is possible to increase the added value of the system as a whole.

  In the above embodiment, the routers 3a to 3c are all fixedly installed in a predetermined area. However, one or more of the notification badges 4a to 4d are provided with a router function and moved. It can also function as a type router. Since this mobile router has more functions than the notification badges 4a to 4d, it is preferable to use it by a manager-like user such as a chief or doctor. Hereinafter, a configuration in which a mobile router is used will be described by taking as an example a case where a head nurse uses a mobile router.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the mobile router 6 distinguishes the report badge function unit 61 having the same function as the report badges 4 a and 4 b and the routers 3 a and 3 b (hereinafter, these routers are distinguished from the mobile router 6. Therefore, the router function unit 62 having the same function as the “fixed type router” is provided. For this reason, the mobile router 6 can send emergency calls and display various information, relay communication between the notification badges 4a and 4b and the management center 2, Router information can also be updated periodically.

  Further, the router function unit 62 is provided with a radio wave intensity determining unit 63 that determines the radio wave intensity at the time of communication. The radio wave intensity determining unit 63 mainly communicates with the mobile router 6 and the fixed routers 3a and 3b. Sometimes, it is used to detect the fixed routers 3a and 3b having the highest radio field intensity.

  In addition, since the position of the mobile router 6 changes with the movement of the lady E, unlike the fixed routers 3a and 3b that are fixedly installed, the position is registered in advance in the management center 2. I can't. For this reason, when relaying an emergency call from the report badges 4a and 4b in the mobile router 6, a report badge that issues an emergency call on the management center 2 side only by assigning the router ID and transferring it to the management center 2 It becomes impossible to specify the positions of 4a and 4b.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the area where the mobile router 6 exists is periodically detected so that the management center 2 can always grasp the position of the mobile router 6. Hereinafter, a method for specifying the position of the mobile router 6 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In specifying the position of the mobile router 6, first, the mobile router 6 tries to communicate with both the fixed routers 3a and 3b, and receives the router IDs from the fixed routers 3a and 3b (step S51). . Next, the fixed routers 3a and 3b on the side where the radio field intensity is strong are detected by the radio field intensity determination unit 63 (step S52), and the router ID of the fixed router and its own router ID are transmitted to the management center 2 (step S52). S53). For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when the distance from the fixed router 3a is closer than the distance from the fixed router 3b, the radio wave intensity received from the fixed router 3a is increased. The router ID of the router 3a is transmitted to the management center 2.

  Next, in the management center 2, based on the signal received from the mobile router 6, it is determined which of the fixed routers 3 a and 3 b is located near the mobile router 6. In the above example, since the router ID of the fixed router 3a is transmitted, it can be recognized that the position of the mobile router 6 is near the fixed router 3a based on the router ID. Thereafter, the management center 2 updates the router information of the management data, and registers the installation area of the fixed router 3a as the existence area of the mobile router 6 (step S54).

  Next, the updated router information is transmitted from the management center 2 to the fixed routers 3a, 3b and the mobile router 6, and the router information is updated in each of the solid routers 3a, 3b and the mobile router 6 (step S55, S56). Thereafter, the processes of steps S51 to S56 are repeated every predetermined time, so that the latest position of the mobile router 6 is always changed in each of the management center 2, the fixed routers 3a and 3b, and the mobile router 6. To grasp.

  In such a state, as shown in FIG. 10, when the notification badge 4 a issues an emergency call near the mobile router 6 and receives the emergency call at the mobile router 6, the mobile router 6 sends a management center to the management center. 2 is transmitted to the emergency ID, the badge ID of the notification badge 4a, and the router ID of itself. At this time, depending on the communication environment with the management center 2, it may be transmitted via the nearby fixed router 3a without being directly transmitted to the management center 2.

  Thereafter, as in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, the management center 2 specifies the reporter and its position, and then sends the reporter information and information to the fixed routers 3 a and 3 b and the mobile router 6. The location information is transmitted, and the emergency call is transferred to the report badge 4 in the communication area in each router.

  When receiving an emergency call from the notification badge 4a, the mobile router 6 can recognize that the notification badge 4a is nearby based on the radio wave intensity determined by the radio wave intensity determination unit 63. For this reason, for example, the fact that the notification is from a short distance may be displayed on the display unit to notify the lady E to that effect, and the user A may be rescued. In this case, since the lady E can quickly detect the emergency situation of the user A, it is possible to respond more quickly.

  Further, when transferring the received emergency call, not only the badge ID of the report badge 4a is transmitted to the management center 2, but also the reporter information and the position of the report badge 4 in its own communication area. Information may be transmitted and an emergency call transmitted immediately. At that time, the reporter information and the position information to be transmitted can be created using the router information and in-area information held by the mobile router 6.

  On the other hand, when the mobile router 6 itself sends an emergency call, it can transmit the emergency call to the fixed routers 3a and 3b as well as the notification badges 4a and 4b. It is also possible to send an emergency call directly to the notification badge 4a existing inside. At that time, the reporter information and the position information to be transmitted to the report badge 4a can be created using the router information and in-area information held by the mobile router 6 as described above.
