Abstract

A smart care system utilizes an information collecting unit to obtain information of a care receiver from a monitoring area so as to produce a monitoring signal. The monitoring signal is transmitted to an outputting device for displaying the information collected by the information collecting unit to a care giver. The smart care system includes an identifying unit, which is set to have an identifying area corresponding to the information collecting unit for obtaining the monitoring signal so as to detect the variation thereof in the identifying area, thereby accordingly outputting a warning signal to drive the outputting device to output warning information, such that the care giver can notice the variation of the monitoring signal for coping therewith. Therefore, the problem that the care giver can not accurately and immediately realize the real situation and information of the care receiver can be solved.

Claims

1. A smart care system, comprising:

an information collecting unit, set to have a monitoring area for collecting an information of a care receiver so as to produce a monitoring signal;

an identifying unit, set to have an identifying area corresponding to the information collecting unit, for receiving the monitoring signal and deciding an output of a warning signal through detecting a variation of the monitoring signal in the identifying area; and

an outputting device, including a display unit for receiving the information of the care receiver outputted by the monitoring signal, and an alarm unit for outputting alarm as receiving the warning signal.

2. The smart care system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the monitoring signal is selected from one or a combination of an image information and an audio information.

3. The smart care system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the monitoring signal further comprises an environmental information within the monitoring area.

4. The smart care system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the monitoring signal further comprises an environmental information within the monitoring area.

5. The smart care system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the information collecting unit is a camera with a lens and a microphone.

6. The smart care system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the identifying unit is one or a-combination of a movement detecting system, an audio detecting system, and a thermal sensing system.

7. The smart care system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the alarm unit is one or a combination of a buzzer, an alarming light and a vibration motor.

8. The smart care system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the outputting device is a mobile electronic device.

9. The smart care system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a multimedia player unit for playing multimedia information of the care receiver.

10. The smart care system as claimed in claim 9, wherein the multimedia player unit receives the warning signal and is driven thereby to produce multimedia information.

11. The smart care system as claimed in claim 9, wherein the outputting device comprises a controlling unit for outputting a control signal to the multimedia player unit so as to produce multimedia information.
