  Japan has become an aging society, and more specifically, the aging rate, which is the ratio of the population over 65 years old to the total population due to the improvement of living standards accompanying the post-war high economic growth, improvement of the hygienic environment and improvement of medical care standards. However, it has become a super-aging society that exceeds 21%. In 2005, the total population was about 126.5 million, while the elderly population over the age of 65 was about 25.56 million. In 2020, the total population was about 124.11 million. There is also a prediction that the elderly population will be about 34.56 million. In such an aging society, the number of nurses who need nursing or nursing care due to illness, injury, aging, etc. is expected to increase compared to those who need nursing in a normal society that is not an aging society.

  Such nurses are required to enter a nursing facility such as a hospital or a welfare facility for the elderly (such as a nursing home for the elderly, a nursing home for the elderly and a nursing home for the elderly according to Japanese law) and receive nursing care. In facilities such as hospitals and welfare facilities for the elderly, so-called nurse call systems are generally provided that are used to call nurses and caregivers when nurses need to receive nursing care. . In addition, a device for monitoring (monitoring) the condition of the nurse in need is incorporated in the nurse call system as necessary, and the apparatus has a receiving device (the nurse or caregiver has the condition of the nurse in need). Configured to transmit to a receiving terminal.

  In such a nurse call system having a function of monitoring the state of a nurse requiring care, it is necessary to transmit (distribute) an image from the device to the receiving device in response to a request from the receiving device. As a system for distributing an image in response to a request from the receiving apparatus, for example, there is an image distribution system disclosed in Patent Document 1. In this image distribution system, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of contact information is sent from the server to the registered mail address of the mobile communication terminal etc., and the mobile communication terminal that has received the communication is designated by the server This system receives a still image by accessing a URL.

  By the way, when monitoring a nurse in need, a nurse or the like may want to see an image as soon as possible in order to grasp the state of the nurse in need. In particular, when an accident or the like occurs in a nurse in need, the nurse or the like wants to see the image as soon as possible. In the image distribution system disclosed in Patent Document 1, an image is distributed from a server and displayed on a mobile communication terminal in the following flow. That is, an e-mail is first transmitted from the server to the mobile communication terminal, and then the URL described in the e-mail is designated and inputted. Next, after the designated designation of this URL, the designated URL The image is downloaded from the site to the mobile communication terminal, and the image is displayed on the mobile communication terminal. For this reason, when the image distribution system disclosed in Patent Document 1 is adopted as a nurse call system, it takes time to download the image data because image data such as a moving image is downloaded after a URL is designated and input. Therefore, it takes time from the designation input of the URL to the display of the image, and it is difficult to view the image immediately. In particular, since image data such as a moving image generally has a large data capacity and requires a long time to download, it is difficult to immediately view the image. For this reason, the user may feel inconvenience or stress in the time until the image is displayed.

  On the other hand, in terms of safety confirmation, a single person living alone is the same as the care recipient and the like and is a person to be monitored.

  Next, the operation of the monitored person monitoring system MS in the present embodiment will be described focusing on the operation of the receiving device CT. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the first mode of the receiving device in the monitored person monitoring system according to the embodiment. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the first mode of the receiving device in the monitored person monitoring system according to the embodiment. 6A shows an event notification screen, FIG. 6B shows an event notification selection screen after selecting one event notification information, and FIG. 6C shows an image display screen for displaying an image to be monitored.

  In the monitored person monitoring system MS having the above configuration, when the operation is started, the child device control processing unit 31 of the monitoring child device RD detects the movement (body movement) of the monitoring target by the sensor unit 32 and monitors by the imaging unit 33. The target is imaged, and the sound of the monitoring target is picked up by the handset sound input / output unit 34. Then, the slave unit control unit 31 of the monitoring slave device RD stores the detection result of the monitoring target motion, the image data of the monitoring target image, the sound data of the monitoring target sound, and the identifier of the monitoring slave device RD. (Data transfer communication signal) is generated by the slave unit communication unit 38, and the data transfer communication signal is transmitted to the image server apparatus SV via the communication network NT. Such detection of the movement of the monitoring target, generation of the monitoring target image (image data) and generation of the monitoring target sound (sound data) are continuously performed at predetermined sampling intervals. Are divided at a predetermined time, and transmission of the data transfer communication signal to the image server apparatus SV is periodically performed.

  When the child device control processing unit 31 of the monitoring child device RD receives a predetermined operation from the child device input unit 35 (for example, when there is a switch input), the child device operation containing the fact and the identifier of the monitoring child device RD is received. An acceptance communication signal is generated by the slave unit communication unit 38, and this slave unit operation acceptance communication signal is transmitted to the monitoring master device MD via the communication network NT.

  In the image server device SV, when the data transfer communication signal is received from the monitoring slave device RD via the communication network NT, the SV control processing unit 21 detects the detection result of the movement of the monitoring target accommodated in the data transfer communication signal, and monitors it. The image data of the target image and the sound data of the monitoring target sound are stored in the SV storage unit 22 in association with the identifier of the monitoring slave device RD accommodated in the data transfer communication signal, and the image data of the monitoring target image is stored. And image identification information for specifying the image to be monitored is assigned to the sound data of the sound to be monitored and stored in the SV storage unit 22. As the identifier of the monitoring child device RD, an appropriate code string that can identify and identify the monitoring child device RD, such as a product number (serial number), an IP address, and a MAC address of the monitoring child device RD, is used. As the image identification information, an appropriate code string that can identify the image to be monitored may be used. For example, a URL that represents the location of an information resource existing on the Internet is used. Since the image data and sound data in the monitoring target are periodically transmitted from the monitoring slave device RD as described above, the image identification information may be assigned to the image data and sound data in each monitoring target. It may be assigned to image data and sound data in a series of monitoring targets. When assigning to this series of image data and sound data, for example, the image identification information may be assigned to image data and sound data for each day, and for example, image data for each identifier of the monitoring device RD and It can be assigned to sound data. The storage area of the SV storage unit 22 set to store the monitoring target image data and the monitoring target sound data can store data of a predetermined time length provided for each identifier of the monitoring slave device RD. It can be a ring buffer. In this ring buffer, when image data and sound data are stored in the storage area, the oldest image data and sound data are discarded and the latest image data and sound data are stored. In this case, the image identification information may be assigned to each ring buffer provided for each identifier of the monitoring child device RD.

  The SV control processing unit 21 detects the behavior of the monitoring target from the received monitoring target image (image data) by the behavior detection processing unit 21, and the minute motion detection processing unit 22 detects the received monitoring target. The movement (body movement) of the monitoring target is detected from the movement detection result (the detection result of the sensor unit 32). Then, the SV control processing unit 21 transmits a behavior detection result, a body motion detection result, an image (image data) of the monitoring target related to the behavior detection result and the body motion detection result, and a detection result of the motion of the monitoring target. The SV communication unit 23 generates a communication signal (detection result notification communication signal) containing the identifier of the monitored child device RD and the image identification information assigned to the image to be monitored (image data), This data transfer communication signal is transmitted to the monitoring master device MD via the communication network NT.

  In the monitoring master device MD, the parent device control unit 111 monitors the parent device communication unit 16 by the nurse call detection processing unit 113. When the parent device communication unit 16 receives a communication signal, the received communication signal is changed to the received communication signal. It is determined whether or not the operation acceptance information is accommodated (determining whether or not the received communication signal is a slave unit operation acceptance communication signal), and the operation acceptance information is accommodated in the received communication signal. If so, the base unit sound input / output unit 13 and the base unit output unit 15 notify each other, and further transmit a second event notification communication signal to the receiving device CT via the communication network NT. By receiving image identification information corresponding to the identifier of the monitoring slave device RD from the image server SV based on the identifier of the monitoring slave device RD contained in the slave unit operation acceptance communication signal, the second event notification Although the image identification information may be accommodated in the communication signal, in this embodiment, the image identification information is not accommodated in the second event notification communication signal in order to protect the privacy of the monitored person. When the nurse call detection processing unit 113 receives a stop of notification from the parent device input unit 14, the nurse call detection processing unit 113 stops notification of the parent device sound input / output unit 13 and the parent device output unit 15.

  In the monitoring master device MD, the master control unit 111 uses the body state determination processing unit 112 to display the behavior detection result and the body motion detection result of the monitored person accommodated in the detection result notification communication signal received from the image server device SV. Based on the first event notification communication signal containing the event notification information and the image identification information when the predetermined event is detected from the monitoring target.

  When receiving the event notification communication signal from the monitoring master device MD, the receiving device CT operates as follows.

  In FIG. 5, the terminal control unit 411 monitors the terminal communication unit 47 by the image reception display processing unit 412a, and when the communication signal is received by the terminal communication unit 47, the received communication signal is determined in advance from the monitoring target. It is determined whether or not event notification information indicating that an event has been detected is accommodated (determining whether or not the received communication signal is an event notification communication signal (first and second event notification communication signal)) Further, it is determined whether or not the received communication signal contains image identification information (URL in this example) for specifying an image to be monitored (the received communication signal is a first event). It is determined whether it is a notification communication signal) (S11). As a result of these determinations, when event notification information is not accommodated in the received communication signal (No), the image reception display processing unit 412a returns the process to step S11. That is, the process S11 is repeated. On the other hand, if the event notification information is contained in the received communication signal as a result of these determinations, the image reception display processing unit 412a displays an event notification screen for presenting the event notification information on the terminal display unit 45. Furthermore, when image identification information is accommodated in the received communication signal (Yes), the image reception display processing unit 412a performs the following process S12.

Column), event notification information (“status” column), and moving image presence / absence information (“video” column) indicating the presence / absence of a moving image. In the example shown in FIG. 6A, the room number in which the monitoring child device RD is arranged is used as the transmission source information. Therefore, the base unit storage unit 12 of the monitoring master device MD stores in advance the correspondence between the identifier of the monitoring slave device RD and the room number in which the monitoring slave device RD is arranged, and the monitoring master device MD. Accommodates the room number of the monitoring device RD in the event notification communication signal. The presence or absence of a moving image is determined by whether or not image identification information is accommodated in the event notification communication signal. The first to third event notification information display areas 51a-1 to 51a-3 perform a selection operation for selecting one event notification information from the plurality of event notification information in each of the plurality of event notification communication signals from the outside. It is also a button switch (event notification selection accepting button) of the touch panel to accept.

  Next, in process S12, the image reception display processing unit 412a, before accepting a predetermined operation at the terminal input unit 44, based on the image identification information contained in the received event notification communication signal, Start downloading. More specifically, the image reception display processing unit 412a includes the URL contained in the received event notification communication signal before accepting the selection operation on the touch panel configured to include the terminal input unit 44 and the terminal display unit 45. As a result, downloading of the monitoring target image (image data) is started from the image server SV via the communication network NT, and the monitoring target image (image data) is downloaded.

  Here, when receiving a plurality of event notification communication signals for each of a plurality of monitoring targets from the monitoring parent apparatus MD via the terminal communication unit 47 at different times, the image reception display processing unit 412a performs predetermined processing at the terminal input unit 44. Before accepting the operation, the latest event notification communication signal received at the latest time (ie, the time closest to the current time) is selected from the plurality of event notification communication signals, and the selected latest event notification is selected. Download of the monitoring target image is started based on the image identification information contained in the communication signal, and the monitoring target image is downloaded. In the example shown in FIG. 6A, the image reception display processing unit 412a is based on the image identification information stored in the event notification communication signal that stores the event notification information displayed in the first event notification information display area 51a-1. Then, download of the monitoring target image is started, and the monitoring target image is downloaded.

  Next, in process S13, the image reception display processing unit 412a determines whether or not a predetermined operation has been received by the terminal input unit 44. More specifically, the image reception display processing unit 412a is a touch panel configured to include the terminal input unit 44 and the terminal display unit 45, and accepts a selection operation by operating (depressing, tapping) the event notification selection acceptance button 51. It is determined whether or not. As a result of this determination, when the selection operation is not accepted by the terminal input unit 44 (No), the image reception display processing unit 412a returns the process to step S13. That is, the process S13 is repeated. On the other hand, as a result of this determination, when a selection operation is accepted by the terminal input unit 44 (Yes), the image reception display processing unit 412a displays an event notification selection screen that presents the selected event notification information. To display. As a result, the screen displayed on the terminal display unit 45 transitions from the event notification screen to the event notification selection screen.

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 6A, when the first event notification information display area (first event notification selection acceptance button) 51a-1 is tapped, the event notification selection screen shown in FIG. 6B is displayed on the terminal display unit 45. The In FIG. 6A, in order to indicate that the first event notification information display area 51a-1 has been tapped, the symbol “★” is described, but the symbol “★” is displayed on the display screen of the actual receiving device CT. Is not displayed. The event notification selection screen includes a transmission source information display area 52 for displaying transmission source information representing the monitoring slave device RD that has transmitted the event notification communication signal containing the selected event notification information, and the selected event notification.

More specifically, the image reception display processing unit 412a is a touch panel configured to include the terminal input unit 44 and the terminal display unit 45, and accepts an image display instruction operation by operating (depressing, tapping) the video confirmation button 53. It is determined whether or not. As a result of this determination, if the terminal input unit 44 has not received an image display instruction operation (No), the process returns to step S14. That is, the process S14 is repeated. On the other hand, as a result of this determination, when an image display instruction operation is received by the terminal input unit 44 (Yes), the image reception display processing unit 412a executes a process S15.

  In the next process S15, the image reception display processing unit 412a displays the event notification information selected in the process S13, which has been downloaded in the process S12 when the next predetermined operation is received by the terminal input unit. The corresponding image to be monitored is displayed on the terminal display unit 45, and the process ends. In this example, the monitoring target image is a moving image. As a result, the screen displayed on the terminal display unit 45 transitions from the event notification selection screen to an image display screen for displaying an image to be monitored.

  For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 6B, when the video confirmation button 53 is tapped, the image display screen illustrated in FIG. 6C is displayed on the terminal display unit 45. The image display screen includes an image display area 56 for displaying an image (moving image in this example), a button switch (release button) 57 on a touch panel that accepts a release operation for instructing release of event notification information from the event notification screen, and the like.

However, in the operation of the second modification, a still image to be monitored is displayed prior to the moving image.

  The receiving device CT that performs the operation of the second modification mode functionally includes, in the terminal control processing unit 41, an image reception display processing unit 412c that performs the operation of the second modification mode, instead of the image reception display processing unit 412a. The image reception display processing unit 412c accommodates event notification information indicating that a predetermined event has been detected from the monitoring target, the still image to be monitored, and the moving image identification information for specifying the monitoring target moving image. When the received event notification communication signal is received via the terminal communication unit 47, the terminal input unit 44 receives an instruction to display the monitoring target image on the terminal display unit 45, and the monitoring target still image is displayed on the terminal. The display process displayed on the display unit 45 and the start process for starting the download of the monitoring target video based on the video identification information contained in the event notification communication signal are executed in any order, When the monitoring target moving image can be displayed, the monitoring target moving image is switched from the monitoring target still image to the monitoring target moving image, and the monitoring target moving image is displayed on the terminal display unit 45. Those Shimesuru. More specifically, in one example, the image reception display processing unit 412c identifies event notification information indicating that a predetermined event has been detected from the monitoring target, the still image to be monitored, and the moving image to be monitored. When an event notification communication signal containing moving image identification information for receiving is received via the terminal communication unit 47, an instruction to display the monitoring target image on the terminal display unit 45 is received by the terminal input unit 44 The monitoring target still image is displayed on the terminal display unit 45, and downloading of the monitoring target video is started based on the video identification information accommodated in the event notification communication signal, so that the monitoring target video can be displayed. In this case, the monitoring target moving image is switched from the monitoring target still image to the monitoring target moving image, and the monitoring target moving image is displayed on the terminal display unit 45. Then, the image reception display processing unit 412b enables communication with the monitoring slave device RD.

  In the second modification, in FIG. 9, the terminal control unit 411 monitors the terminal communication unit 47 by the image reception display processing unit 412 c as in the above-described process S <b> 11, and transmits a communication signal by the terminal communication unit 47. When received, it is determined whether or not event notification information is accommodated in the received communication signal, and further whether or not image identification information (URL in this example) is accommodated in the received communication signal. Determine (S31). As a result of these determinations, when event notification information is not accommodated in the received communication signal (No), the image reception display processing unit 412c returns the process to step S31. On the other hand, if event notification information is accommodated in the received communication signal as a result of these determinations, the image reception display processing unit 412c displays the event notification screen shown in FIG. 10A similar to FIG. When the image identification information is contained in the received communication signal (Yes), the image reception display processing unit 412b performs the next process S32.

  In the next process S32, the image reception display processing unit 412c determines whether or not the selection operation (operation of the event notification selection reception button 51) has been received by the terminal input unit 44. As a result of this determination, when the selection operation is not accepted by the terminal input unit 44 (No), the image reception display processing unit 412c returns the process to step S32. On the other hand, as a result of this determination, when the selection operation is accepted by the terminal input unit 44 (Yes), the image reception display processing unit 412c executes the next process S33. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 10A, when the first event notification information display area (first event notification selection acceptance button) 51a-1 is tapped, as in FIG. 6A, the event shown in FIG. A notification selection screen is displayed on the terminal display unit 45.

  In the next processing S33, the image reception display processing unit 412c determines whether or not an image display instruction operation (operation of the video confirmation button 53) has been received by the terminal input unit 44. If the result of this determination is that the terminal input unit 44 has not accepted an image display instruction operation (No), the image reception display processing unit 412c returns the processing to step S33. On the other hand, as a result of this determination, when an image display instruction operation is received by the terminal input unit 44 (Yes), the image reception display processing unit 412c executes a process S34.

  In the next process S34, the image reception display processing unit 412c displays the still image contained in the received event notification communication signal on the terminal display unit 45. As a result, the screen displayed on the terminal display unit 45 transitions from the event notification selection screen to the image display screen.

  For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 10, the event notification selection screen illustrated in FIG. 10B transitions to the image display screen illustrated in FIG. 10C, and the image display screen illustrated in FIG. 10C is displayed on the terminal display unit 45. The image display screen shown in FIG. 10C is a screen including an image display area 59 for displaying an image, a release button 57, a play button 58, and a return button 54, similarly to the image display screen shown in FIG. 6C. However, the image display screen shown in FIG. 10C is different from the image display screen shown in FIG. 6C, and a still image is displayed in the image display area 59.

  In the next process S35, the image reception display processing unit 412c starts downloading the moving image to be monitored based on the image identification information contained in the received event notification communication signal. More specifically, the image reception display processing unit 412c starts downloading the monitoring target moving image (moving image data) from the image server device SV via the communication network NT by the URL accommodated in the received event notification communication signal. Then, the monitoring target moving image (moving image data) is downloaded.

The image display screen shown in FIG. 10D is displayed on the terminal display unit 45.

  In the operation of the second modified mode, the monitored person monitoring system MS, the receiving device CT thereof, the receiving method and the receiving program implemented therein are preceded by the moving image to be monitored when the event notification communication signal is received. Then, the still image is displayed, and then the moving image to be monitored is switched to the moving image to be monitored. Since the volume of still image data is relatively small, it does not take too much time to receive the event notification communication signal. For example, a nurse or other user can immediately grasp the status of the monitoring target by displaying the still image. Thereafter, the state of the monitoring target can be grasped in more detail by displaying the moving image. For this reason, the inconvenience and stress which a user feels at the time until an image is displayed can be reduced.

  In this second modification, in order to display an image faster, the image reception display processing unit 412c preferably has event notification information indicating that a predetermined event has been detected from the monitoring target, the monitoring target When the event notification communication signal containing the still image and the moving image identification information for specifying the monitoring target moving image is received via the terminal communication unit 47, the monitoring target still image is displayed on the terminal display unit 45.
