Watching system, watching detection device, and watching notification device
First Claim
1. A watching detection device comprising:
- a cartilage conduction vibration source configured to transmit vibration to cartilage of an ear; and
a watching detection sensor configured to detect watching information around the ear;
a short-range communication unit; and
an air conduction microphone, whereinthe watching detection device is mountable to the ear with an entrance of an external auditory canal of the ear open,the watching detection sensor includes a bone conduction microphone,the short-range communication unit is operable to communicate with a mobile phone, andwhen the mobile phone makes a call and a response is made to the call, or when the mobile phone receives a call and makes a response to the call, the bone conduction microphone is turned on and the air conduction microphone is turned off.

Abstract
This watching system is provided with: a watching detection device that is provided with a cartilage conduction vibration source, a mastication sensor, and a bone conduction microphone and that is configured to be mounted on an ear such that the entry of the ear canal is opened; and a mobile phone or an in-home monitoring unit that receives watching detection signals from the mastication sensor and the bone conduction microphone by means of short-range communication and issues a notification to the outside. The watching detection device has an air conduction microphone and also functions as a hearing aid. When detection signals cannot be received from the mastication sensor or the bone conduction microphone for a predetermined time period, a notification is issued. The mobile phone and the in-home monitoring unit crosscheck watching detection information. The mobile phone also issues a notification of information indicating that there is no abnormality.
