One or more physiological sensors worn on the user's body are used to detect various physiological data of the user, or data of the surrounding environment, such as carbon monoxide/carbon dioxide concentration, noise, temperature, humidity, air pressure, etc. These physiological data can be used in conjunction with other sensors or safety confirmation means to judge the safety status of the monitored object.

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of the external connection of the safety confirmation device of the present invention.

Shown in Fig. 6 is the system communication unit 407 on the security confirmation host, and the external connection has at least a telephone line 471 and a network line 472, and the connection monitoring center 44, and both the telephone line 471 and the network line 472 can be described as in Fig. 4 , for the relationship of mutual support. As mentioned above, the host may include the client identifier 601 for identifying the source of the signal, which is transmitted along with various signals generated by the host.

There are many ways to transmit signals between the host and external units. In addition to the network connection 472 that can transmit the data packet 605 carrying rich information or the voice packet 606 with VoIP (VoiceoverIP) technology, it can also be transmitted through the telephone line 471 (such as PSTN). ) transmit the signal 602, audio signal 603 and voice 604 as shown in FIG. 6 .

In particular, an audio signal 603 such as a dial tone (dial tone) is used as a way of information transmission, without the need to connect to the phone. According to an embodiment, the security confirmation host and the monitoring center 44 can set a corresponding dial tone (audio signal) and information lookup table (lookuptable), for example, when the user presses the "confirmation key" of the security confirmation host or sub-machine Or after other function keys, the host can send a dial tone to the outside, and transmit a specific security information by transmitting the audio signal corresponding to a message during dialing. In another embodiment, since the host can be configured with a telephone number, it can also pass the caller ID number to the monitoring center 44 through the telephone line 471. The "confirmation key" on the host can bring out the caller ID number. In addition to the security information, the monitoring center 44 can also use this to confirm the source of the signal.

Based on the above-mentioned embodiments, the modes of security confirmation performed by the integrated security confirmation system and method of the present invention include:

Mode 1: Timing detection

The monitoring center sends out a safety confirmation signal through the safety confirmation host and sub-machine, including sound, light or vibration. The user should hear, see or feel the safety confirmation signal (sound, light, vibration) within a certain period of time. Press the "confirmation key" to cancel the safety confirmation procedure, and send a confirmation signal through the host to indicate user safety.

Mode 2: Activity Perception

Install entrance and exit sensors and life sensors at the important entrances and exits of the living space. The sensing method can be infrared blocking sensors, and the locations such as toilets, kitchens, rooms and other entrances and exits are set. If the entrance and exit can be sensed within a preset time The sensing signal of the entrance and exit sensor represents the normal movement of the user in the living space, which also means that the user is safe. The time interval can be set according to the user's physiological state and living habits, such as setting the safety sensing time according to the user's sleep, waking up, going out, and coming back.

In addition to the entrance and exit sensors, various other sensing methods that can confirm the user's safety can also be used, such as: weight sensors, drinking water use (water level sensing), toilet use (water level sensing, water flow sensing), etc., the life of the present invention The sensing method is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments.

Mode 3: Physiological data

The safety confirmation system proposed by the present invention can not only confirm whether the ward is still alive, but also judge whether the physiological condition of the ward is normal. For example, it is safe to confirm that various physiological data sensors are connected to the sub-machine or externally, such as sensors for measuring pulse, blood pressure, body temperature and other data. People, in this way can effectively judge the safety of users.

Fig. 7 is one of the flow charts of the embodiments of the security verification method of the present invention.

The flow chart shows the mode of confirming the security status with the confirmation key on the main unit or the sub unit. As in step S701, at the beginning, the host should confirm the connections (including network and telephone lines) with external units (such as monitoring center) and slaves, so as to ensure the normal operation of the security confirmation function. Then in step S703, the host itself, or determined by an external unit, periodically sends out a security reminder signal through the user interface provided by the security confirmation processing unit in the host. The reminder method includes the sound, light or vibration generated by the information processing unit processing the input and output information in the host.

Step S705 then determines whether the confirmation signal is received within a certain period of time? That is, when the user receives the security reminder signal, he should cancel the confirmation procedure within a short period of time, that is, after confirming the user status with the help of the user interface, he will send a confirmation signal in response to the security reminder signal, and the host will judge whether it has received the security reminder signal. This confirmation signal; in another embodiment, an external unit sends this safety reminder signal to the host, and then the user cancels the confirmation procedure to send a confirmation signal to the external unit.

When judging, if the host or the external unit that sends out the reminder receives the confirmation signal within a certain period of time (Yes), the process continues to send out the security reminder signal regularly, such as step S707; if the host or the external unit does not receive the confirmation signal within the time After receiving the confirmation signal (no), the host will notify the external unit to send an emergency signal, as in step S709; the measures include notifying relevant external units, such as monitoring centers, service centers and other home protection units, as in step S711, or Specify one or more emergency contacts, as in step S713.

If there is a sub-machine device in the system that contacts the host, when a safety reminder signal is sent out at regular intervals, the signal will be transmitted to the sub-machine worn by the user through a specific wireless communication protocol, and the sub-machine will issue a sound, light or vibration to remind The user cancels the confirmation process. After executing the confirmation number, the confirmation signal can be sent to the host to cancel the confirmation process.

Wherein, the emergency signal sent by the host to the external unit can be transmitted through the telephone line or the network line together with the client identifier for identifying the host, especially, these signals can be carried by a coded telephone dial tone.

Fig. 8 is the second flow chart of the embodiment of the security verification method of the present invention. Next, the flow of an embodiment of security confirmation of another host connecting to one or more sensors can be referred to as shown in FIG. 8 .

At the beginning of the step, as shown in step S801, the system should confirm the connection of each unit, including the connection between the monitoring center, the main unit, and the sub-units. In this example, one or more sensors connected to the main unit or the sub-units are particularly included. , such as the above-mentioned activity sensor for judging the user's safety status in a certain space.

The host, or an external unit, such as step S803, will periodically determine whether a sensing signal is generated within a certain period of time? For example, if it is judged whether there is entry or exit of a specific room within a few minutes, these entry and exit signals will be transmitted to the host computer, or forwarded to an external unit. Perceived targets may also include activities such as eating and drinking, and bathroom use.

If a safety confirmation signal representing these safety information is generated within a certain period of time (Yes), the host will reset the time, such as step S805, and continue to regularly confirm each sensing signal; if no safety confirmation signal is received within the set time (No ), showing that the user did not enter or exit a specific place within the predetermined time, or had due activities, as in step S807, the host will send an emergency signal to the outside, and the sending objects include specific external units, service centers and other units that provide guardianship services, such as Step S809, or the emergency contact person, as in step S811.

Likewise, the above-mentioned emergency signal can be sent along with the client identifier for identifying the host, wherein the signal can be carried by a coded telephone dial tone.

FIG. 9 is a flow chart of another embodiment of the security confirmation method of the present invention.

In this mode of operation, the host will be connected to various physiological sensors worn on the user's body, or the host will be connected to the slave, and the slave will be connected to these sensors, or the slave itself is equipped with a device for sensing physiological states. sensor.

The step starts as in S901, the system will first confirm the connection between the monitoring center, the host, the slave and each physiological sensor, and judge whether the signal is transmitted normally. The following steps include that the host will regularly receive the physiological data generated through the user interface, such as step S903, some data are real-time physiological data, such as whether there is a pulse or heartbeat; some data need to be accumulated for a period of time, such as blood pressure, pulse The number of times; it can also include some environmental data, such as temperature, humidity, air pressure, air composition (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide), noise, etc. The host computer will periodically determine whether the safety confirmation signal associated with the physiological data is received, as in step S905.

If the host does not receive these safety confirmation signals within a certain period of time (No), as in step S907, an emergency signal will be sent to notify an external unit, as in step S909 or/with an emergency contact, as in step S911.

If the safety confirmation signal and the contained physiological data are received (Yes), as described in step S905, the host or an external unit can determine whether the data is normal or not? Or in a safe or dangerous area?

If it is judged by the data in the safety confirmation signal that it is within the safe range (Yes), the host computer will reset the time, such as step S913, and the process returns to step S903; if the physiological data reflects that the monitored user is in a dangerous state ( No), as in step S907, the host will send an emergency signal to the external unit, as in step S909, perform corresponding measures, such as notifying the police unit, medical unit, emergency contact, as in step S911, etc.

Along with the emergency signal sent to the external unit, each host should generate a client identifier identifying the location, and include physiological data, which information or signal can be carried by a coded telephone dial tone transmitted over the telephone network.

The security confirmation system proposed by the present invention can also propose a two-stage implementation scheme of integrating the security confirmation key and the physiological sensing signal, as shown in the process described in FIG. 10 .

Like the safety confirmation steps disclosed in Figure 8 above, the living environment of the user (protected object) is provided with a safety confirmation host. The sensing signal can determine whether the user is in a living state. In this example, the security confirmation function on the security confirmation host is used to regularly confirm whether the user is safe or not, thereby creating a multifunctional security confirmation mechanism.

FIG. 10 is the fourth flow of the embodiment of the security verification method of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 10 , according to the steps of this embodiment, an external unit (such as a monitoring center) can confirm whether the connection is normal by regularly sending a connection confirmation signal, as in step S101 . Under normal circumstances, the external unit judges the safety status through the sensors installed in various places in the living environment or the sensors worn by the user, and these signals are sent to the external unit at regular intervals. As in step S103, the system will determine whether the survival signal is generated within the time (first time)? This type of survival signal can be used to determine the user's activity status by sensors installed at entrances and exits and specific equipment as shown in Figure 8; or, as shown in the embodiment of Figure 9, the survival status can be determined by physiological sensors worn on the user.

If the device or external unit can obtain the survival signal (Yes), that is, the signal of the sensor or physiological sensor can be obtained within the set time, and it is judged to be normal, the time counted will be reset as in step S105. Set (reset), return to step S103, retime and determine whether to obtain the survival signal at a certain time.

If the survival signal is not obtained within the set time (No), the process will proceed to the next stage of safety confirmation steps, such as step S107, a safety reminder signal is sent by an external unit or monitoring center, and the reminder signal is sent by the host computer. time (the second time, which can be different from the first time), then, as in step S109, the device or the remote external unit will judge whether to receive the cancellation command within the time (response to the confirmation signal of the security reminder signal) ?

If the user can cancel (click the confirmation button) the safety reminder signal (Yes) within the preset time, the step returns to S105, resets the time, and returns to the initial step of confirming the survival signal in the process; If the reminder signal is not canceled (No), an emergency signal will be sent to execute emergency measures, such as step S111.

To sum up, according to the embodiment of the safety confirmation system and method proposed by the present invention, the safety status of the user can be conveyed through buttons, or the physiological data can be transmitted through the physiological sensor worn on the user, or the setting The signal generated by the activity sensor in a space is used to confirm the safety status, and the monitoring center can use this information to confirm the user's safety.
