Description

The present invention relates to a life watching device.

As a life monitoring device, for example, there is a life monitoring device that consists of a human sensor and a processing device that has the function of sending information to a server or a client such as a personal computer or a smartphone based on the counting and analysis results of the reaction of the human sensor. In this case, one life monitoring device is installed in a place where the person to be monitored stays most of the day and the detection area of the person sensor does not include the sleeping area, and the processing device detects the person's presence. Scanning is performed at time intervals that allow movement to be tracked, and if there is a response from the human sensor, the number of responses from the human sensor is added, and the number of responses from the human sensor is accumulated at regular intervals of several minutes to several tens of minutes to sleep. In the cycle time for judging events such as the start of sleep, the end of sleep, and no life reaction for a long time, the total number of human sensor reactions accumulated in the time interval set for each of the above events, and each of the above A lifestyle monitoring device characterized by determining events such as the start of sleep, the end of sleep, sleep time, and no life reaction for a long time by comparing with thresholds set for each event” has been proposed (for example, Patent document 1).

First, in step 101, when the variable (Ev) indicating whether this function is valid or invalid is 0 (valid) ("Yes" in step 101), the process proceeds to the next state.
At step 102, if the POP3 server access time interval has passed the set value (5 minutes) ("Yes" at step 102), the next state is entered.
In step 103, the POP3 server (pop.example.com) is accessed and user authentication is performed using the information of the email address "tanaka@example.com", the email account "tanaka", and the email password "MAIL_PASSWORD". ), download the mail stored in the POP3 server, and move to the next state.
In step 104, the downloaded mail is analyzed, and if there is mail in the command mail format (determined using the command mail user name "user" and the command mail password "pass") (in step 104, "Yes"), go to the next state.
At step 105, a process corresponding to the specified command (eg, see Table 10) written in the command mail is performed. For example, if the command name is "STATUS", information about the current sensor data (temperature, humidity, etc.) will be acquired, and if the command name is "DailyGraph", sensor data for one day (specified date) will be obtained. Execute commands, such as graphing information about data.
In step 106, a command reply mail with description or attachment of command execution results is created and registered in the mail transmission table T3. After that, return to step 101 .

(8-10) Information Storage Processing Information storage processing of the information storage control section 59 will be described with reference to FIG.

At step 111, the information about the sensor data is cleared to 0.
In step 112, if it is the predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) ("Yes" in step 112), the next state is set to n=n+1 (step 113), temperature/humidity, human sensor, Acquire sound sensor information (step 114).
At step 115, the WBGT, heat stroke index level is obtained.
_At step 116, T1 = T1 + T, M1 = _M1 + M, _B1 = _B1 + B, _V1 = _V1 + V, _W1 = _W1 + W, _{L1 = L1 +} L.
Next, if n=6 at step 117 ("Yes" at step 117), move to the next state, T ₁ =T ₁ /6, M ₁ =M ₁ /6, W ₁ = Calculate W ₁ /6, L ₁ =L ₁ /6 (step 118).
At step 119, the current time, T ₁ , M ₁ , B ₁ , V ₁ , W ₁ , and L ₁ are stored, and the process returns to step 111 .

1. Sensor Unit The sensor unit 102 of the embodiment includes all of the temperature/humidity sensor 21, the motion sensor 22, and the sound sensor 23, but is not limited to this, and may be, for example, any one sensor. Alternatively, a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor may be separately provided instead of the temperature and humidity sensor. Further, a magnetic sensor, an illuminance sensor, a bed sensor, and the like may be provided.

2. Events It is also possible to provide other sensors and create events according to sensor signals. For example, events such as the opening and closing of a door or key by turning on/off a magnetic sensor, the turning on/off of lighting by turning on/off an illuminance sensor, and the confirmation of waking up by turning on/off a bed sensor may be created.

3. Control unit In the embodiment, multitasking is performed by the main control unit 50, but for example, the temperature and humidity event control unit 51, the heat stroke event control unit 52, the alarm buzzer cancellation event control unit 53, the regular notification event control unit 54, the emergency button Even if a CPU is provided for each of the event control unit 55, the no-response event control unit 56, the mail transmission control unit 57, the command mail control unit 58, and the information storage control unit 59, and controlled separately to acquire information related to sensor data. good.

4. LAN
In the embodiment, wireless LAN connection setting is performed by scanning available access points, selecting an access point to be connected, and inputting a password to connect, but it is possible to operate with WPS without inputting a password. is also possible.

5. Mail Transmission Processing The mail transmission processing of the mail transmission control unit 57 may be, for example, as shown in FIG.
