APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING A FALL
First Claim
1. A fall detection method performed by a fall detection server, the fall detection method comprising:
- receiving electricity information from a piezoelectric plate disposed adjacent to a bed of a subject;
performing a primary determination of whether or not the subject fell from the bed based on the electricity information, and triggering an imaging device to capture an image of a current state of the subject if it is determined that the subject fell;
receiving video information including the image of the current state of the subject from the imaging device; and
transmitting fall information relating to a fall of the subject to a terminal of the subject, the fall information including one or more of the primary determination result, trigger information of the imaging device, and the video information.

Abstract
A fall detection method performed by a fall detection server includes receiving electricity information from a piezoelectric plate disposed adjacent to a bed of a subject, performing a primary determination of whether or not the subject fell from the bed based on the electricity information, and triggering an imaging device to capture an image of a current state of the subject if it is determined that the subject fell, receiving video information including the image of the current state of the subject from the imaging device, and transmitting fall information relating to a fall of the subject to a terminal of the subject, the fall information including one or more of the primary determination result, trigger information of the imaging device, and the video information.

8. A fall detection method performed by a fall detection server, the fall detection method comprising:
-
receiving, from a piezoelectric device, a first determination result obtained by determining whether or not a subject fell using electricity information generated based on at least one of a pressure applied to the piezoelectric device by the subject and a contact area between a body of the subject and the piezoelectric device; and transmitting fall information relating to a fall of the subject to a terminal of the subject, the fall information including the first determination result. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

11. A fall detection system comprising:
-
a fall detection server configured to; receive electricity information from a piezoelectric plate arranged adjacent to a bed of a subject; perform a primary determination of whether or not the subject fell from the bed based on the electricity information, and generate a control signal if it is determined that the subject fell; receive video information including an image of a current state of the subject from an imaging device triggered in response to the control signal output from the fall detection server; and transmit fall information relating to a fall of the subject to a terminal of the subject, the fall information including one or more of the primary determination result, trigger information of the imaging device, and the video information. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
