Remote homecare monitoring system and method thereof
First Claim
1. A remote homecare monitoring system, comprising:
- at least one behavior detector, having a source identification code stored in said behavior detector, for detecting a user'"'"'s activity behavior, and producing a behavior parameter and a behavior time corresponding to said behavior parameter, and packing said source identification code, behavior parameter and behavior time into wireless information, and sending said wireless information to an external monitoring environment of said behavior detector;
at least one image capture device, having an imaging apparatus number stored in said capturing apparatus, and said capturing apparatus being installed at different monitoring areas in said monitoring environment, for capturing an image data of a scene in said monitoring area, and producing a shooting time of said image data, packing said imaging apparatus number, said image data and said shooting time into video information, and sending said video information to said monitoring environment; and
a gateway, installed in said monitoring environment, and having a network apparatus number, a monitoring range threshold value, a filter time and a plurality of location data corresponding to each source identification code stored in said gateway, for continuously receiving said video information sent from said image capture device, and saving said video information into a first storage area in said gateway, and continuously receiving wireless information from said behavior detector, such that if said behavior parameter contained in said wireless information does not lie within said monitoring range threshold value, said filter time bases on said behavior time corresponding to said behavior parameter as a center to calculate a filter starting time, a filter ending time and all image data in said first storage area and corresponding to said video information in the time from said filter starting time to said filter ending time, and saves said image data within said filter time into a second storage area of said gateway, and calculates a location data corresponding to said source identification code in said wireless information, and packs said corresponding location data, said source identification code and said network apparatus number in said wireless information into a warning message, and sends said warning message to a management server corresponding to said location data.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a remote homecare monitoring system that includes a behavior detector, an image capture device, and a gateway. The behavior detector detects an abnormal activity behavior, and the image capture device captures image data of a user'"'"'s condition, and the gateway transmits the images to a computer of a related unit or a telephone of a related contact person, so that the related unit or contact person can know about the user'"'"'s activity behavior within a time before or after the occurrence of the abnormal behavior quickly from the image data, and medical professional can timely provide appropriate medical treatments.

5. A remote homecare monitoring method, which is applied in a remote homecare monitoring system, and said system comprises a behavior detector worn by user within a monitoring environment, a plurality of image capture devices installed at different monitoring areas in said monitoring environment and a gateway installed in said monitoring environment, said method comprising the steps of:
-
said behavior detector outputting wireless information, and sending said wireless information to said gateway; said image capture device outputting video information, and sending said video information to said gateway; said gateway receiving said wireless information and said video information, and saving said video information in a first storage area, and determining whether or not said behavior parameter in said wireless information lies within a monitoring range threshold value; said gateway retrieving a behavior time contained in said wireless information, if said gateway determines that said behavior parameter in said wireless information does not lie within said monitoring range threshold value; a filter time of said gateway using a behavior time corresponding to said behavior parameter as a center to calculate a filter starting time and a filter ending time; said gateway further calculating a shooting time in said first storage area and an image contained in said video information within said filter time, and saving said image data within said filter time in a second storage area of said gateway; said gateway finding a location data stored in a management server of said gateway, and said location data corresponding to a source identification code in said wireless information; and said gateway producing a warning message based on a location data, a source identification code in said wireless information and a network apparatus number stored in said gateway, and sending said warning message to a management server corresponding to said location data. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
