Provided are a fall accident detection apparatus and method capable of detecting frequent falling accidents in daily lives of old, feeble or invalid pedestrians in real time and notifying a fall control server of the falling accidents in order to actively prepare for possible secondary accidents by falls. The fall accident detection apparatus includes an acceleration sensor detecting information on acceleration and slope; a controller judging behaviors using the information on acceleration and slope detected by the acceleration sensor and determining a fall accident by analyzing a sequential pattern of the judged behaviors; and a communication unit transmitting information on a fall accident when the fall accident is determined by the controller.
摘要:
There is provided a method and apparatus for sensing a meal activity among the various activities of daily life using pressure sensors. A meal activity sensing apparatus collects sensor data detected through a plurality of pressure sensors installed in a smart meal mat, filters the collected sensor data, measures a pressure variance by using the filtered sensor data, determines whether a meal activity has taken place by comparing the measured pressure variance with a preset threshold value, and transmits meal activity information associated with the meal activity to an information processor communicating with the smart meal mat via radio frequency. Since this provides an advantage of more accurate detection of the meal activity, it can be useful in care services for eldercare facilities and for elderly individuals living alone, and further, in the efficient observance of an individual's daily meal patterns.

There are provided a method and system for sensing abnormal signs in daily activities, the method comprising, at the system, sensing the daily activities, reading previously stored daily activity information, generating a daily activity sequence based thereon, sensing the abnormal signs from the daily activity sequence by using a preset sequence alignment algorithm, and providing the sensed abnormal signs to a user. As described above, the abnormal signs, which should be checked to provide care services, are sensed via changes in a daily activity pattern and added to a care service system that will be installed in welfare facilities for the aged or a home of a solitary old person, thereby effectively sensing the abnormal signs in daily activities of the aged.
