The camera 13 is arranged, for example, on the ceiling or the upper part of the wall of the living room, photographs an area including the bed 60 of the subject 70 as an observation area, and outputs a photographed image (image data). Hereinafter, the image photographed by the camera 13 will also be simply referred to as a "photographed image." The photographed images include an image including the subject 70. Furthermore, the photographed images include still images and moving images. Although the camera 13 is a near-infrared camera, a visible light camera may be used instead, or these may be used in combination.

The control unit 11 recognizes the behavior of the subject 70 from the image taken by the camera 13. Recognized actions include, for example, "getting up" in which the subject 70 gets up from the bed 60, "getting out of bed" in which the subject 70 leaves the bed 60, "falling down" in which the subject 70 falls onto the floor, and "falling" in which the subject 70 falls off the bed 60. included.

The control unit 11 detects an image silhouette (hereinafter referred to as a "person silhouette") from a plurality of captured images (moving images). A human silhouette can be detected, for example, by extracting a pixel range where the difference is relatively large using a time difference method that extracts the difference between images taken before and after the shooting time. The human silhouette may be detected by a background subtraction method that extracts the difference between a photographed image and a background image. The distinction between getting up, getting out of bed, falling down, and falling is determined by the posture of the subject 70 (e.g., standing, sitting, lying, etc.) based on the detected human silhouette, and the relative positional relationship with objects installed in the living room, such as the bed 60. It is recognized from etc. These recognitions may be performed by a program processed by the CPU of the control unit 11, or may be performed by a built-in processing circuit. Further, the present invention is not limited to this, and the server 20 may perform all or most of these recognition processes, and the control unit 11 may only transmit the photographed image to the server 20. When the control unit 11 recognizes any action, it sends a notification to the server 20 etc. that the action has occurred.

You can check whether it has been done or not. Similarly, for each of the plurality of subjects 70, the user compares the tendency of bedtime with the time when evening care was actually performed, and determines whether evening care was performed at an appropriate time for bedtime. You can check whether

For example, for subject 70 who resides in room 101, the time when the most recent morning care was performed almost coincides with the central wake-up time. In this case, the user can confirm that morning care was performed at an appropriate time for the subject 70. On the other hand, for subject 70 who resides in rooms 102 to 104, the time when the most recent morning care was performed is earlier than the average wake-up time. In this case, the user can confirm that the subject 70 may have been woken up early to receive morning care, and morning care was not performed at an appropriate time for the subject 70. Furthermore, the time at which the most recent morning care was performed for subject 70, who resides in room 105, is more than 30 minutes later than the central wake-up time. In this case, the user can confirm that the subject 70 may have been forced to wait for a long time to receive morning care, and that the morning care for the subject 70 was not performed at an appropriate time.

Further, for example, the time at which the most recent evening care was performed for the subject 70 who resides in room 104 is later than the central bedtime time. In this case, the user may have been forced to wait for a long time for the subject 70 to receive evening care, or may have been woken up even though the subject 70 had gone to bed, and the user may have determined that evening care was not appropriate for the subject 70. You can confirm that the event was not performed at the specified time.

Then, the staff 80 as a user can consider an efficient order in which morning care or evening care should be performed for the plurality of subjects 70, for example, based on the confirmation results. For example, the user may consider providing morning care to the target persons 70 residing in each room in the order of room 101, room 102, room 105, room 103, and room 104. . Similarly, regarding evening care, the user may consider providing evening care to the subject 70 residing in each room in the order of room 101, room 104, room 103, room 102, and room 105. good. Note that the user may also consider the time at which morning care should be performed for each of the plurality of subjects 70 so that morning care is performed at a time later than the central wake-up time. Similarly, the user may also consider the time at which evening care should be performed for each of the plurality of subjects 70 so that evening care is performed at a time earlier than the central bedtime time.

In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 6, in addition to trends in the wake-up times and bedtimes of multiple subjects 70, the central wake-up time, central bedtime time, time when morning care was performed, and time when evening care was performed are also visualized. has been done. However, the central wake-up time, the central bedtime time, the time when morning care is performed, and the time when evening care is performed do not necessarily need to be visualized. Even in this case, the user can consider an efficient order of morning care or evening care for the plurality of subjects 70 while comparing the wake-up times or bedtimes of the plurality of subjects 70.

Furthermore, in the example shown in FIG. 6, the trends of both the wake-up times and bedtimes of the plurality of subjects 70 are visualized, but only the trends of either the wake-up times or the bedtimes may be visualized. Further, the report may include at least one of a table and a graph instead of a diagram visualizing trends in at least one of the wake-up times and bedtimes of the plurality of subjects 70. In this case, the central wake-up time, central bedtime time, time when morning care is performed, and time when evening care is performed may be visualized by numerical values.

Further, a comment indicating the analysis result may be further added to the report. For example, a comment indicating whether morning care or evening care was performed at an appropriate time may be further added to the wake-up time or bedtime of the subject 70. The analysis results are, for example, trends identified through statistical processing of information regarding at least one of the wake-up time and bedtime of the plurality of subjects 70, care performance information, etc. used to create the visualization chart by the program. It can be created by analyzing facts corresponding to singularities or singularities. The analysis result may be automatically created by the control unit 21 using machine learning technology such as deep learning. Furthermore, as will be described later, a visualization chart scheduled to be included in the report may be displayed on the administrator terminal 30, and a comment input by the administrator 90 who has confirmed the visualization chart may be added to the report. Further, special notes written in the care record may be used as comments.

The input control unit 211 receives subject information about each of the plurality of subjects 70 (step S101). The storage control unit 212 accumulates the subject information regarding each of the plurality of subjects 70 accepted by the input control unit 211 by storing it in the storage unit 23 (step S102). As described above, the storage control unit 212 accumulates information regarding at least one of the wake-up time and bedtime of the plurality of subjects 70, care track record information, etc. as subject information in the storage unit 23. Note that the processing in steps S101 and S102 is performed, for example, each time the detection unit 10 transmits the wake-up time or bedtime time or the staff terminal 40 transmits care performance information for each of the plurality of subjects 70. It is assumed to be executed repeatedly.

Subsequently, the input control unit 211 receives designations of a plurality of subjects 70 for which a report is to be created (step S103). Note that instead of accepting the designation of the plurality of subjects 70, the input control unit 211 accepts the designation of the staff 80 who will perform morning care or evening care for the plurality of subjects 70, or the room in which the plurality of subjects 70 reside, It is also possible to accept the designation of the floor of the facility or the building of the facility. In addition, the input control unit 211 may further receive a designation of a user to whom the report will be provided.

The acquisition unit 213 acquires information necessary for creating a report from among the subject information about each of the plurality of subjects 70 accumulated in the storage unit 23 in step S102 (step S104). As described above, the acquisition unit 213 acquires information related to at least one of the wake-up time and bedtime of the plurality of subjects 70, care performance information, etc., accumulated in the storage unit 23 during a predetermined period.

Based on the information acquired in step S104, the calculation unit 214 creates a report including the results of visualizing trends in at least one of the wake-up times and bedtimes of the plurality of subjects 70, that is, a visualization chart (step S105). . Note that, as described above, for each of the plurality of subjects 70, the calculation unit 214 visualizes trends in wake-up times including times at which there is a high probability of waking up, and trends in bedtimes including times at which there is a high probability of going to bed. You can also visualize it. Furthermore, for each of the plurality of subjects 70, the calculation unit 214 visualizes the results of morning care in association with trends in wake-up times, and the results of evening care in association with trends in bedtimes. It's okay. In addition, the calculation unit 214 once transmits the visualization chart scheduled to be included in the report to the administrator terminal 30, and when it receives a comment to be added to the report from the administrator terminal 30, it adds the comment to the report and finalizes it. You can also create a report.

The output control unit 215 outputs the report created in step S105 (step S106).

As described above, according to the report output program, a report including the results of visualizing trends in at least one of the wake-up times and bedtimes of the plurality of subjects 70 is output. Thereby, the user to whom the report is provided can easily consider the efficient order of morning care or evening care for the plurality of subjects 70 while comparing the wake-up times or bedtimes of the plurality of subjects 70. Therefore, the satisfaction level of the plurality of subjects 70 with morning care or evening care is also improved.

Furthermore, for each of the plurality of subjects 70, the time when there is a high probability of waking up is included in the trend of wake-up times and is visualized, and the time when there is a high probability of going to bed is included in the tendency of bedtimes and is visualized. Thereby, for each of the plurality of subjects 70, the time when there is a high probability of waking up or the time when there is a high probability of going to bed is visualized so that the user can easily recognize it. Therefore, the user can easily consider the efficient order of morning care or evening care for the plurality of subjects 70 while comparing the times when the probability of getting up is high or the time when the probability of going to bed is high.

Furthermore, for each of the plurality of subjects 70, the performance of morning care is visualized in association with the tendency of wake-up time, and the performance of evening care is visualized in association with the tendency of bedtime. As a result, the user can compare the trend of wake-up times and the actual time when morning care was performed for each of the plurality of subjects 70, and determine whether morning care was performed at an appropriate time for the wake-up time. You can check whether In addition, the user compares the bedtime trends and the times when evening care was actually performed for each of the plurality of subjects 70, and determines whether evening care was performed at an appropriate time for bedtime. You can check. Therefore, the user can easily consider whether to change the order of morning care or evening care for the plurality of subjects 70.

Further, the visualization chart is a heat map or a histogram in which at least one of the wake-up times and bedtimes of a plurality of subjects 70 for a predetermined period is accumulated and visualized. Thereby, the tendency of at least one of the wake-up times and bedtimes of the plurality of subjects 70 is visualized so that the user can easily recognize it visually.

The configuration of the monitoring system described above is the main configuration described in explaining the features of the above-described embodiment, and is not limited to the above-described configuration, and can be variously modified within the scope of the claims. Moreover, the configuration provided in a general monitoring system is not excluded.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, it was explained that the report visualizes trends in wake-up times and bedtimes, times at which morning care was performed, times at which evening care was performed, etc. of the plurality of subjects 70. . However, the present embodiment is not limited to this, and a proposal for the order in which at least one of morning care and evening care should be performed for a plurality of subjects 70 may be further added to the report. This will be explained in detail below with reference to FIG.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing another example of the operation of the server. Note that steps S201 to S205 in FIG. 10 are the same as steps S101 to S105 in FIG. 9, so the explanation will be omitted.

The calculation unit 214 determines the order in which at least one of morning care and evening care should be performed for the plurality of subjects 70 based on the tendency of at least one of the wake-up time and bedtime of the plurality of subjects 70 visualized in step S205. is determined (step S206).

For example, the calculation unit 214 checks the order on the time axis of times at which the plurality of subjects 70 are likely to wake up, based on the tendency of wake-up times, and determines the confirmed order as the order in which morning care should be performed. It's okay. For example, the calculation unit 214 calculates the results for the target person 70 who resides in each room in the order of room No. 101, room No. 102, room No. 105, room No. 103, and room No. 104 based on the tendency of wake-up times illustrated in FIG. You may decide that morning care should be performed. Similarly, the calculation unit 214 checks, for example, the order on the time axis of times at which the plurality of subjects 70 are likely to go to bed based on trends in bedtimes, and converts the confirmed order into the order in which evening care should be performed. It may be determined as

Subsequently, the calculation unit 214 adds the proposal of the order determined in step S206 to the report created in step S205 (step S207). The output control unit 215 outputs the report to which the order suggestion was added in step S207 (step S208). Thereby, the user can directly adopt the efficient order proposed in the report without having to consider for himself the efficient order of morning care or evening care for the plurality of subjects 70.

In addition, in step S206, the calculation unit 214 also determines the time at which morning care should be performed for each of the plurality of subjects 70, so that morning care is performed at a later time than the time when the probability of waking up is high. You can judge. Similarly, the calculation unit 214 also determines the time at which evening care should be performed for each of the plurality of subjects 70, so that evening care is performed at a time earlier than the time when the probability of going to bed is high. Good too. Then, in step S207, the calculation unit 214 may further add the determined time suggestion to the report.
