The length of the determination time is set on the setting screen D1 of 5. When the button B3 is slid to the right side, the determination time becomes long, so that the determination condition of the determination unit 16 becomes strict, and the possibility of erroneously determining an abnormality of a person in the facility 5 is reduced. On the other hand, when the button B3 is slid to the left side, the determination time is shortened, so that the determination condition of the determination unit 16 becomes lenient, and it becomes difficult for a person in the facility 5 to miss the determination of abnormality. Here, when the determination unit 16 determines the abnormality of a person in the facility 5 at a plurality of state levels, a threshold value may be set for each of the plurality of state levels.

When the person in the facility 5 slides the button B3 to a desired position and taps the button B2 while the setting screen D1 of FIG. 5 is displayed on the display unit 81 of the information terminal 8, the processing unit 82 moves the button B2. The storage unit 85 stores the set value of the detection level according to the position of the button B3. Here, on the setting screen D1, instead of the button B3 for setting the detection level to an arbitrary value, a plurality of setting values of the detection level (for example, setting values such as "high", "medium", and "low"). The selection button corresponding to each may be displayed. In this case, the detection level can be set to a desired set value by tapping any one of the plurality of selection buttons on the setting screen D1.

Further, the processing unit 82 transmits a communication request from the communication unit 83 to the server 1 via the router 7 and the network 4 in order to register the set value of the detection level in the server 1. When the communication unit 13 of the server 1 receives the communication request from the information terminal 8, an authentication process is performed between the server 1 and the information terminal 8. The processing unit 12 of the server 1 determines whether or not the ID (IDentifier) and password of the information terminal 8 received by the communication unit 13 match the ID and password registered in advance in the storage unit 11. If the ID and password of the information terminal 8 match the ID and password registered in the storage unit 11, the processing unit 12 of the server 1 communicates from the communication unit 13 to the information terminal 8 via the network 4 and the router 7. Send a permit signal to allow. When the communication unit 83 of the information terminal 8 receives the permission signal, the processing unit 82 transmits the setting information such as the setting value of the determination time of each state level from the communication unit 83 to the server 1.

Here, the correspondence relationship between the ID of the information terminal 8 and the identification information of the local device 40 is preset in the storage unit 11 of the server 1. When the communication unit 13 of the server 1 receives the setting information from the information terminal 8, the setting unit 15 changes the determination condition for the local device 40 (that is, the facility 5) corresponding to the information terminal 8 based on the setting information. Then, it is stored in the storage unit 11. Thereby, the person in the facility 5 can set the determination condition used when the determination unit 16 of the server 1 determines the state of the person in the facility 5.

Further, when a person in the facility 5 taps the button B1 while the setting screen D1 of FIG. 5 is displayed on the display unit 81 of the information terminal 8, the processing unit 82 does not change the setting of the determination condition. Exit the determination condition setting screen D1.

When the processing unit 82 sets the output conditions according to the operation of a person in the facility 5, the display unit 81 displays the output condition setting screen D2 as shown in FIG. The alternate long and short dash line surrounding the reference code and region in FIG. 6 is shown for illustration purposes only and is not actually displayed.

On the setting screen D2, an output condition indicating the content of the output operation to the outside based on the state of the person in the facility 5 is set. In the present embodiment, the determination unit 16 determines the abnormality of the person in the facility 5 at a plurality of state levels, and the person in the facility 5 outputs each of the plurality of state levels, that is, for each degree of abnormality. Conditions can be set.

On the left side of the setting screen D2, a display area A10 showing the state level of the state of the person in the facility 5 is provided. The upper end of the display area A10 corresponds to the state in which the state of the person in the facility 5 is "normal", and the lower end of the display area A10 corresponds to the state of "abnormality" having the highest degree of abnormality. The degree of abnormality increases from the upper end to the lower end.

When a person in the facility 5 wants to set an output condition, tap the area corresponding to the state level for which the output condition is to be set in the display area A10 of the setting screen D2, and the processing unit 82 displays the display area A10 on the setting screen D2. Buttons B11 to B13 and display areas A11 to A13 for setting output conditions at the state level are displayed on the right side. Here, when the buttons B11 to B13 are tapped, the processing unit 82 causes the display areas A11 to A13 on the right side of the buttons B11 to B13 to display the selection candidates for the output operation. Here, administrator notifications, external contacts, hospital notifications, personal notifications, and alerts are displayed as selection candidates for output operations. When a person in the facility 5 selects (tap) one or more desired output operations from the output operation selection candidates displayed in the display areas A11 to A13 and then taps the buttons B11 to B13, the processing unit 82 displays. The selected output operation is stored in the storage unit 85 in association with the state level. Here, on the setting screen D2, one or a plurality of state levels in which output conditions can be set may be set in advance. On the setting screen D2, if the output condition can be set for each of the multiple state levels, display a selection button for selecting the output condition corresponding to the multiple state levels for which the output condition can be set. You can set output conditions for each state level using the selection button or the like.

Further, the processing unit 82 transmits a communication request from the communication unit 83 to the server 1 via the router 7 and the network 4 in order to register the output condition setting information in the server 1. At this time, the above authentication process is performed between the server 1 and the information terminal 8, and when the authentication is established, the information terminal 8 transfers the output condition setting information from the communication unit 83 to the server 1 via the router 7 and the network 4. Send to. When the communication unit 13 of the server 1 receives the setting information from the information terminal 8, the setting unit 15 changes the output conditions for the local device 40 (that is, the facility 5) corresponding to the information terminal 8 based on the setting information. Then, it is stored in the storage unit 11. As a result, the person in the facility 5 can set an output condition indicating the content of the output operation performed by the output unit 17 of the server 1, and in the present embodiment, each state level of the person in the facility 5, that is, an abnormality can be set. Output conditions can be set for each degree.

In the setting screen D2 of FIG. 6, output conditions are set in three state levels. External communication is selected as the output operation at the state level where the degree of abnormality is the lowest. At the second lowest level of abnormality, hospital contact is selected as the output operation. At the state level with the highest degree of abnormality, alert notification, personal notification, administrator notification, and external contact are selected as output operations.

Here, when the person in the facility 5 selects external contact as the output operation, the person in the facility 5 uses the information terminal 8 to use the output destination information (for example, a family member or a relative) of the contact information (external output target) of the external contact. The telephone number, e-mail address, etc. of the information terminal 3 such as a smartphone may be set in the server 1. In this case, the first notification information for notifying the state of the person is output to the contact of the external contact. The first notification information is information for notifying the contact information of the external contact of the state of a person in the facility 5, such as "Mr. XX's state is abnormal".

Further, when hospital contact is selected as the output operation, the person in the facility 5 uses the information terminal 8 to input the output destination information (for example, a telephone number) of the hospital to be output when the hospital is notified to the server 1. May be set to.

Further, when the administrator contact is selected as the output operation, the person in the facility 5 uses the information terminal 8 to notify the predetermined contact person of the status of the person in the facility 5 from the administrator who is the output target. It can be set to output the second notification information. In this case, the person in the facility 5 uses the information terminal 8 to provide contact information (for example, a hospital telephone number) necessary for communicating between the administrator and a predetermined contact person (for example, a hospital). It may be set. The second notification information is information that urges the administrator who is the output target to contact a contact such as "Please contact the hospital", and the contact telephone number is used as the contact information. Information such as may be included.

As described above, when the setting unit 15 of the server 1 sets the determination condition and the output condition based on the setting information received from the information terminal 8 by the communication unit 13, the determination unit 16 of the server 1 sets the determination condition. The condition of the person in the corresponding facility 5 is determined according to the above. Further, the output unit 17 of the server 1 performs an output operation to the outside based on the determination result of the determination unit 16 and the set output conditions.

The acquisition unit 14 of the server 1 periodically (for example, every few minutes to several tens of minutes) uses the power consumption (measured value) for a predetermined period (for example, from the time of the previous reception to the present) as the usage status from the local device 40 of each facility 5. ) To get.

The determination unit 16 determines the state of a person in the facility 5 according to the determination conditions based on the usage status of each facility 5 acquired by the acquisition unit 14. Specifically, the determination unit 16 determines that the state of the person in the facility 5 is normal if the non-behavior time in which the power consumption of the facility 5 to be determined is equal to or less than a predetermined value does not exceed the determination time. do. Here, the "predetermined value" is an average value of power consumption when a person in the facility 5 is not acting in the facility 5, and a constant value for suppressing false detection due to a temporary fluctuation is added. Value. When the non-behavior time continues for the determination time or longer, the determination unit 16 determines that the state of the person in the facility 5 is abnormal. Further, in the present embodiment, when the non-behavior time is longer than the determination time, the determination unit 16 determines a state level indicating the degree of abnormality according to, for example, the length of the non-behavior time.

When the determination unit 16 determines that the state of a person in the facility 5 is abnormal, the output unit 17 performs an output operation to the outside based on the determination result of the determination unit 16 and the output conditions stored by the storage unit 11. Output conditions are registered in the storage unit 11 for each of the plurality of facilities 5, and the output unit 17 performs an output operation according to the output conditions of the corresponding facilities 5. Further, since the output condition is registered in the storage unit 11 for each state level (degree of abnormality) of the user's state for each of the plurality of facilities 5, the output unit 17 is in the state of the user. Output operation can be performed according to the level.

Further, the determination unit 16 determines that the state of the person in the facility 5 is a predetermined state (for example, a state in which an urgent response is required) when the duration of the non-action time becomes a predetermined time or longer. , The output unit 17 performs a predetermined output operation regardless of the setting of the setting unit 15. First, the output unit 17 performs a notification operation for inquiring, for example, the presence or absence of an abnormality to the information terminal 8 of a person in the facility 5.

When the output unit 17 performs a notification operation to the information terminal 8 of a person in the facility 5, if there is no change in the determination result of the determination unit 16 before and after the notification operation, the person in the facility 5 is abnormal. There is a high possibility that the output unit 17 performs output operations such as administrator notification, hospital contact, and alert output. For example, a case where the output unit 17 performs an output operation instructing the server 201 of the security company 200 to visit the target facility 5 will be described. When the server 201 of the security company 200 receives an instruction to visit the facility 5 from the server 1 of the monitoring system 10, it transmits a visit command instructing the visit to the facility 5 to the terminal 202 of the waiting place closest to the facility 5. .. When the operator of the terminal 202 receives the visit command from the server 201, the guards waiting at the waiting area or the guards patrolling by the vehicle are instructed to visit the facility 5, so that it is determined to be in the predetermined state. You can request support for facility 5.

In this way, when the determination unit 16 determines that the state of the person in the facility 5 is in a predetermined state, the output unit 17 performs a predetermined output operation regardless of the setting of the setting unit 15, so that the setting unit 15 Even if it is set not to perform the output operation, the predetermined output operation can be performed. For example, when the determination unit 16 determines the degree of abnormality of a person in the facility 5 based on the usage status of the facility 5, if the determination unit 16 determines that the degree of abnormality is equal to or higher than a predetermined level, the output unit 17 may perform a predetermined output operation regardless of the setting of the setting unit 15. As a result, when the determination unit 16 determines that the degree of abnormality is equal to or higher than a predetermined level, the output unit 17 performs a predetermined output operation, so that the abnormality in the facility 5 can be dealt with in a short time.

Further, when the determination unit 16 determines that the state of the person in the facility 5 is a predetermined state, the output unit 17 is performing a predetermined output operation, but the determination result of the determination unit 16 is continuous for a predetermined time or longer. When the predetermined state is reached, the output unit 17 may perform a predetermined output operation. For example, when the determination unit 16 determines the degree of abnormality of a person in the facility 5 based on the usage status of the facility 5, the state in which the degree of abnormality is equal to or higher than a predetermined level continues for a predetermined time or longer. The output unit 17 may perform a predetermined output operation. When the determination unit 16 erroneously detects that the state of a person is temporarily a predetermined state, the output unit 17 does not perform a predetermined output operation, so that erroneous output can be suppressed.

Further, when the determination unit 16 determines that the state of a person in the facility 5 is a predetermined state, the output operation performed by the output unit 17 is not limited to the notification operation. The output unit 17 transmits a control command for operating a predetermined electric device (for example, an air conditioner, an electric shutter, etc.) provided in the facility 5 to the local device 40 of the corresponding facility 5 via the network 4 and the router 7. You may. At this time, the local device 40 controls the electric device to be controlled to the operating state according to the control command according to the control command received from the server 1.

Further, when the output unit 17 performs a notification operation to the information terminal 8 of a person in the facility 5, if the determination result of the determination unit 16 changes before and after the notification operation, the person in the facility 5 will be notified. It is more likely to be normal. In this case, the output unit 17 does not perform another output operation, and the watching system 10 may continue the watching operation.

By the way, when a person in the facility 5 does not set the determination condition using the information terminal 8, the determination unit 16 of the server 1 is the user based on the initial value of the determination condition registered in advance in the storage unit 11. The judgment may be made. Similarly, when the user of the facility 5 does not set the output condition using the information terminal 8, the output unit 17 of the server 1 goes to the outside based on the initial value of the output condition registered in advance in the storage unit 11. The output operation of may be performed.

Further, when the person in the facility 5 uses the watching system 10 for the first time, if the person in the facility 5 does not set at least one of the determination condition and the output condition using the information terminal 8, the server 1 sets the facility. A notification prompting the person in 5 to set the determination condition and the output condition may be given. The server 1 may send a notification prompting the setting of the determination condition and the output condition to the information terminal 8 used by the person in the facility 5, for example, by sending an e-mail or a push notification, and the determination condition and the output condition are set. It is possible to reduce the possibility that the monitoring service will be started when it is not in use.

Further, in the server 1 of the monitoring system 10, the monitoring service is provided when the setting unit 15 does not set the determination condition and the setting condition based on the setting information from the information terminal 8 used by the person in the facility 5. May be configured not to start. That is, when the setting unit 15 has not set the determination condition and the setting condition, the monitoring service by the acquisition unit 14, the determination unit 16, the output unit 17, etc. may not be started. As a result, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the monitoring service will be started when the determination condition and the output condition are not set.

Specific electrical equipment is, for example, a rice cooker, an electric kettle, a lighting fixture, or the like. Further, the determination unit 16 may determine the state of a person based on whether or not the change in the power consumption of the facility 5 matches a predetermined pattern. In this case, the power consumption of the facility 5 is preferably the power consumption of the electric equipment used in a predetermined pattern (for example, used at the same time every day). Further, the determination unit 16 may determine the state of a person based on the number of fluctuations in the power consumption of the facility 5. The number of fluctuations in the power consumption is, for example, the number of times the power consumption fluctuates by a predetermined value or more within a predetermined time. For example, the determination unit 16 may determine that there is an abnormality in a person when the number of fluctuations in the power consumption of the facility 5 in a predetermined period is less than the predetermined number of times. Further, the determination unit 16 may determine the state level of a person in the facility 5 so that the degree of abnormality increases as the number of fluctuations in the power consumption of the facility 5 in a predetermined period decreases.

In the above embodiment, the acquisition unit 14 acquires the usage status of the facility 5 from the measurement system 20. The acquisition unit 14 may acquire the measured value (at least one of the power consumption and the power consumption amount) of the main line of the distribution board 6 as the usage status of the facility 5. In this case, the measurement system 20 may have only the current sensor 23 without the current sensor 24. Further, the acquisition unit 14 may acquire the usage status of the facility 5 from the smart meter instead of the measurement system 20. Further, the acquisition unit 14 may extract the power consumption (power consumption) of a specific branch circuit or an electric device from the power consumption (power consumption) of the trunk line or the smart meter by a so-called disaggregation technique.

Further, the usage status of the facility 5 may include information from the sensor device provided in the facility 5. The sensor device may include, for example, a motion sensor, an acceleration sensor, a microphone, a vibrometer, a temperature sensor, and the like. Further, the sensor device may include, for example, a bed leaving sensor, an open / close sensor, and the like. For example, the usage status of the facility 5 may use the presence / absence of a person by the motion sensor, the movement of the person by the acceleration sensor, the sound in the facility 5 by the microphone, the shaking of the facility 5 by the vibrometer, the temperature of the temperature sensor, and the like. ..

Here, the determination unit 16 may determine the state of a person in the facility 5 based on the information from the sensor device provided in the facility 5, or may combine the information from the sensor device with the power consumption. The condition of a person may be determined. For example, the usage status of the facility 5 may be a detection result such as the presence / absence of leaving the bed by the bed leaving sensor, the number of times the bed leaving is detected in a predetermined period, the detection time when the bed leaving is detected, and the like. Further, the usage status of the facility 5 may be a detection result such as the presence / absence of opening / closing of the door or the like by the opening / closing sensor, the number of times of opening / closing in a predetermined period, and the like.

In the above embodiment, the determination unit 16 determines whether or not there is an abnormality in the person in the facility 5 based on the length of time (non-action time) when the power consumption of the facility 5 is equal to or less than a predetermined value. There is. In the modified example, the determination unit 16 may determine whether or not the person in the facility 5 has an abnormality based on the number of actions of the person in the facility 5 within a predetermined time. For example, the total number of times a specific electric device of a plurality of electric devices in the facility 5 is used may be used as the number of actions of a person in the facility 5. The specific electric device is, for example, an electric device that is considered to be highly relevant to human life behavior among a plurality of electric devices installed in the facility 5. Specific electrical equipment is, for example, lighting equipment, rice cookers, and the like. In this way, the determination unit 16 may determine that the person in the facility 5 has an abnormality when there is a high possibility that the person in the facility 5 does not perform activities of daily living (activity of daily living). Further, the determination unit 16 may determine that the person in the facility 5 has an abnormality based on a standard different from the living behavior of the person in the facility 5. For example, when the determination unit 16 determines that some event (for example, the occurrence of an abnormal sound in the facility 5) has occurred in the facility 5, it may determine that the person in the facility 5 has an abnormality. Further, the determination unit 16 determines the state level of the person in the facility 5 so that the smaller the number of actions of the person in the facility 5 within the predetermined time, the higher the degree of abnormality of the person in the facility 5. May be good.
