In the present specification, the singular form includes plural forms unless otherwise specified in the specification. As used herein, the terms " comprises, " and / or "comprising" refer to the presence or absence of one or more other components, steps, operations, and / Or additions. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 illustrates a household management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The household management system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a household management unit 100 including residents identification information communicating with the household management server 110, managing information on the residents residing in each household, And may further include a generation management server 100 and a generation management server 110, and may further include an intermediate management server 120.

The household manager 100 manages a resident who lives in the household by mounting a household management chip (or a mobile storage device) storing the resident identification information.

The resident identification information can be issued at a place such as a resident center that manages the household management server 110, and generates resident identification information based on the resident individual's unique number, residence area, and the like, and stores the resident identification information in the household management chip.

Accordingly, the personal information of the resident is managed only at the household management server 110, that is, at a place where private information can not be used privately, and only the resident identification information is stored in the household manager 100. Then, only when the resident's personal information is needed through the resident identification information, it is searched and used.

When the resident moves to another place, the household management chip 100 mounted on the household management apparatus 100 is returned to the resident center and the new resident identification information is issued in the new residential area, .

The generation manager 100 manages the resident identification information, and detects the movement of the resident to generate the resident status information. Then, the generated resident status information is transmitted to the household management server 110 in real time or periodically, so that the household management server 110 can take appropriate measures when an emergency occurs.

The generation management server 110 continuously receives the status information of the occupant from the household manager 100 and takes appropriate measures if the status of the occupant is determined to be of interest or urgency. Appropriate measures may include, but are not limited to, transmission of a message or call to confirm the status of the resident, transmission of an emergency rescue message to the resident's resident or rescue organization, or transmission of a resident's peripheral CCTV activation command signal.

Here, an interested person means a person whose family member, friend, co-worker or resident of the resident needs to contact in case of an emergency of the resident such as an acquaintance whom the resident has set as a contact in case of an emergency, or the resident wants to contact.

The household management system 100 may manage the information and the status of the resident by the communication between the household manager 100 in the place where the resident resides and the household management server 110 managed in the resident center, ) To be managed by the resident.

The intermediate management server 120 is for managing the information or status of a resident by a manager or the like when there is a manager, a building owner, or a landlord (hereinafter referred to as a manager) of a household in which the resident resides.

In the case of the household management server 110, since there are a large number of residents to be managed and can not be located adjacent to the residents, there may be insufficient aspects in managing the residents. Accordingly, the manager or the like manages information and status of residents residing in the building or the like through the intermediate management server 120, thereby enhancing the protection effect of the residents.

When the intermediate management server 120 exists, the generation manager 100 may communicate with only one of the intermediate management server 120 and the generation management server 110, Or the intermediate management server 120 may function as a repeater between the new management server 100 and the generation management server 110. [

Accordingly, the personal information of the resident according to the resident identification information may be stored only in the household management server 110 or both the household management server 110 and the intermediate management server 120.

If the household management server 110 or the intermediate management server 120 does not have the information on the contact information of the resident, the system checks the family relationship based on the resident registration information, I can contact you. At this time, if the contact information can not be confirmed only by the resident registration information, after requesting the contact inquiry based on the resident registration information in the communication company, the emergency rescue message may be transmitted to the contact of the family member received from the communication company.

2 is a block diagram illustrating the structure of a household manager according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The generation manager according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a sensor unit 200, an emergency call input unit 210, an analysis control unit 220, a communication unit 230, and a display unit 240.

The sensor unit 200 senses the movement of a resident in the household and transmits a sensing signal to the analysis control unit 220 of the household manager. The analysis control unit 220 analyzes the sensing signal received from the sensor unit 200 and generates status information of the resident.

The sensor unit 200 may be constituted by one or more sensors. The sensor unit 200 may be a sensor that measures the life span of a person at a predetermined time interval in daily life, such as a front door, a door, . In addition, the sensor is installed at a height of about the height (for example, 120 cm to 140 cm) of an elementary school freshman who has self-judgment and action ability so that only a movement of a person, not a movement of an animal, can be detected.

The analysis control unit 220 receives the sensing signal of the sensor unit 200 and analyzes the received sensing signal to generate occupant state information.

The analysis control unit 220 uses the front door sensor to determine whether the occupant is out of the room or not.

The analysis control unit 220 derives the immediately preceding detection record when the motion is detected in the front door sensor. When the motion of the front door sensor is detected, it is determined that the previous motion is the front door (i.e., when the previous state information is the outgoing state) Is in the out-of-service state.

Alternatively, a sensor may be installed in a place where the front door and the occupant must pass through to enter the house (for example, the doorway door), and when the doorway door sensor detects motion, After the movement is detected by the door middle door sensor, if the door door sensor detects motion, it is determined that the door is out.

After the resident status of the resident is determined, the analysis control unit 220 generates resident status information according to whether or not the sensing signal is received over time.

If the movement of the resident is not detected by the sensor unit 200 for a predetermined period of time (for example, two hours) after the resident's sleeping state is confirmed, the resident may assume that the resident is sleeping. To the sleep state and manages the status information of the resident.

At this time, the predetermined time may be set by the resident manager through the household manager, or may be applied differently depending on day and night. For example, since it is unlikely that the occupant will be asleep during the daytime, the predetermined time may be set to be smaller than night (for example, one hour in the daytime and two hours in the nighttime) .

If the occupant's movement is not detected by the sensor unit 200 for a certain period of time (for example, from 6 to 8 hours of normal sleeping time) after the occupant's state information is changed to the sleep state, Change state to interesting state and manage state information of residents.

The analysis control unit 220 continuously transmits the status information of the resident to the household management server or the middle management server at a predetermined time interval regardless of whether the resident status information is generated or changed through the communication unit 230, To the management server. The status information of the resident may be displayed through the display unit 240 provided on the front door or the like.

The household management server judges whether or not an emergency is present based on the state information of the occupant received from the household manager and takes necessary measures accordingly. When the household manager receives the occupant's state of interest information from the household manager, A confirmation message may be transmitted to the household manager or a message may be sent to the manager or the like informing that the resident is in a state of interest.

After the resident's attention state is confirmed, if the resident's response to the safety state confirmation message transmitted to the household management server by the household management server is not received within a predetermined time, it is recognized as an emergency state. Alternatively, if the resident does not release the alarm within a predetermined time after the analysis control unit 220 changes the state of interest, the emergency state information may be generated and transmitted to the household management server. Alternatively, If the motion of the robot is not detected, it may be changed to the emergency state. The predetermined period of time for transition from the state of interest to the emergency state may be set to about 5 minutes to 30 minutes in consideration of an urgent situation.

After the transition of the state of interest, when the emergency situation of the occupant is recognized by the household manager or the household management server, the necessary measures are taken to solve the emergency situation.

In the case where there is an intermediate management server managed by a manager or the like, the measures that the household manager can take include transmitting the emergency status information to the intermediate management server so that the resident can receive help from the manager or the landlord. Then, a message informing the resident's emergency can be transmitted to the emergency rescue institution (for example, 119), or the alarm 240 or the CCTV near the resident can be operated while informing the emergency through the display unit 240 located outside the front door It is possible.

Since the household management server stores the personal information of the resident, when the emergency condition of the resident is confirmed, the emergency management information of the resident is transmitted to the manager or the emergency rescue organization, and the emergency state information is transmitted to the resident's interest. Information on residents' interests can be set when a resident receives a household management chip from a household management server, and information on interested parties can be registered and modified in the household management system.

When the information of the interested person is not registered, the household management server can confirm the personal information of the resident, and then contact the resident's family or the like based on the confirmed personal information.

For example, since the household management server is installed in a public institution such as a resident center and can manage the information of the resident, the household management server inquires of the resident's personal information through the resident center and confirms the family relationship of the resident, And sends a message informing the occupant of the emergency situation.

At this time, if the contact information can not be confirmed only by inquiry of the family relationship, the contact information of the confirmed family member is requested to be inquired by the communication company, and a message indicating the emergency situation of the residents of the resident's family based on the contact information of the family received from the communication company It is possible.

On the other hand, when the occupant's status is confirmed as being in a room or a sleeping state, there may be a case in which there is consciousness of a resident but a request for help is required. Therefore, an emergency call button is installed in the house, When the emergency call signal is input to the emergency call input unit 210 of the analysis control unit 220, the analysis control unit 220 can immediately take an action to be taken in the emergency state.

If the occupant's movement is detected by the sensor unit 200, the occupant releases the alarm of the household manager or releases the emergency state, or the occupant's safety is confirmed by a third party such as a manager And the like. When the occupant's emergency condition is lifted, send a safety message to the interested person or emergency rescue organization of the resident who sent the emergency rescue message.

FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are flowcharts illustrating a process of a generation management method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 3 shows a general flow of a generation management method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The resident identification information is received from the household management server located in the resident center or the like (S300), and the household management chip or the portable storage device storing the resident identification information is installed in the household manager (S320) .

The household manager detects the movement of the resident through the sensor or the like, generates the resident status information, and communicates the resident status information to the household management server by communicating with the household management server continuously or at predetermined time intervals (S340).

When the household manager transmits the emergency status information of the resident to the household management server or if the emergency state of the resident is confirmed by the household management server (S360), the household manager, the landlord, the manager or the emergency rescue institution registered with the household management server The emergency rescue message is transmitted (S380) so that the resident can receive help.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of detecting movement of a resident and generating resident status information.

If the occupant's movement is not detected during a predetermined time (S410), the occupant's state information is changed to a sleep state and managed (S420) . The first time may be set to one hour or two hours in consideration of the fact that a normal person uses a toilet or a kitchen once every one or two hours, and the resident may be set within a proper time range.

After the state information is changed to the sleep state, if the movement of the resident is not sensed for a predetermined time (S430), the state information of the resident is changed to the state of interest and managed (S440). The second time may be set to 6 to 8 hours in consideration of the fact that a normal person takes 6 to 8 hours of sleep. However, since the sleeping time differs for each person, the resident may set the second time directly.

When the state of interest is confirmed, it corresponds to the case where the movement of the resident is not detected for a considerable period of time after confirming the residency of the resident. Therefore, the resident needs considerable attention and proceeds with the process of confirming the resident's emergency state.

There are a number of ways to check for an emergency state after checking the state of interest.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the household manager does not detect movement of a resident for a predetermined time (third time) after confirming the state of interest (S450), there is a method of changing to emergency information. Alternatively, when the household manager activates an alarm or the like as soon as the occupant's state of interest is confirmed and the occupant does not release the alarm within a predetermined time (for example, within 10 minutes or 30 minutes), generates the occupant's emergency condition information There is also a method.

Processes that can be taken from the household management server's standpoint include receiving residents 'interest state information from the household manager, transmitting the residents' safety confirmation message to the household manager, waiting for a response, And the like. After the transmission of the information, if the resident receives a response to the safety confirmation message or does not receive the safety confirmation message from the manager or the like, the resident status information is changed to the emergency status information.

When the emergency information of the resident is confirmed, the household management server inquires the personal information of the previously stored resident, and transmits a message informing the resident person or emergency rescue institution of the occupant's personal information and the emergency state. At this time, if the information about the resident's interested parties is not registered, the resident's family relationship can be inquired, the contact information of the inquired family member can be inquired, and a message can be sent to the resident's family member.

The foregoing description is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention and various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments described in the present invention are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, but are intended to be illustrative, and the scope of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments. It is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents, which fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
