Abstract

A physiological monitoring system for monitoring a user'"'"'s physiological status and/or first image includes a near-end portable monitoring module, an image sensing module and a near-end information display module. The near-end portable monitoring module senses the user'"'"'s physiological status by a sensing unit to generate first sensed data, and the first communication unit transmits the first sensed data. The image sensing module receives the first sensed data through the second communication unit, and the image capturing unit selectively captures the user'"'"'s first image. The near-end information display module receives the sensed data by the third communication unit, and the first display unit displays a frame corresponsive to the first sensed data. The physiological monitoring system may be applied in the fields of security surveillance, pet monitoring, home care or medical institutes.

Claims

1. A physiological monitoring system, for monitoring at least one of a user'"'"'s physiological status and first image, comprising:

a near-end portable monitoring module, having a first communication unit and a first sensing unit, and provided for the user to wear, and the first sensing unit sensing the physiological status of the user to generate first sensed data, and the first communication unit transmitting the sensed data;

an image sensing module, having a second communication unit and an image capturing unit, and the second communication unit receiving the first sensed data, and the image capturing unit selectively capturing the first image of the user, wherein the image capturing unit tracks the user to obtain the first image by the near-end portable monitoring module; and

a near-end information display module, having a third communication unit and a first display unit, and the third communication unit receiving the first sensed data, and displaying a frame corresponsive to the first sensed data on the first display unit.

2. The physiological monitoring system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first sensing unit is provided for sensing at least one selected from the group consisting of temperature, audio frequency, sound, humidity, brightness, movement and distance.

3. The physiological monitoring system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a network communication unit for connecting the Internet, and the network communication unit complying with a communication specification, and at lease one of the first communication unit, the second communication unit and the third communication unit complying with the communication specification, so that the first sensed data are transmitted among the near-end portable monitoring module, the image sensing module and the near-end information display module via the Internet.

4. The physiological monitoring system as claimed in claim 3, further comprising a far-end information display module having a fourth communication unit and a second display unit, and the fourth communication unit receiving the first sensed data via the Internet and displaying the frame corresponsive to the first sensed data on the second display unit, wherein the fourth communication unit complies with the communication specification.

5. The physiological monitoring system as claimed in claim 3, further comprising a far-end portable monitoring module having a fifth communication unit and a second sensing unit, provided for the user to wear, and the second sensing unit sensing at least one of the physiological status and second image of another user to generate second sensed data, and the fifth communication unit transmitting the second sensed data to the Internet.

6. The physiological monitoring system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the second sensing unit is provided for sensing at least one selected from the group consisting of temperature, audio frequency, sound, humidity, brightness, movement and distance.

7. The physiological monitoring system as claimed in claim 5, further comprising an alarm unit having a sixth communication unit and a first processing unit, and the sixth communication unit receiving the second sensed data, and the first processing unit selectively generating a warning signal according to the second sensed data.
