BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a room occupancy display system suitable for an apartment complex for the elderly.

0002

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In homes for the elderly, it is necessary to unlock the door for emergency relief, and for this reason, an indication of whether or not a resident is in the room (ie, whether the resident is in the room or not) is used as a guide. In particular, when there are multiple residents in the same room, simply locking the electric lock on the entrance door from the outside determines that the resident is absent (outside) and displays an absentee message on the display in the manager's room. Then you may make a mistake. In order to prevent such mistakes,
When one of the residents leaves the room, the person leaving the room or the person remaining in the room must perform special occupancy operations (for example, manually operating a pushbutton switch or inserting a key into a designated location). By doing this, the presence of a resident is displayed in the caretaker's room, thereby avoiding the above-mentioned mistakes. A room display system is used.

[0003] This room occupancy display system is designed to prevent mistakes by determining the presence or absence of a resident based on both the electric signal caused by locking the outer lock and the electric signal caused by the above-mentioned special occupancy operation. This is what I did.

0004

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, even in such a system, there are cases where an operator makes a mistake or forgets to operate the special occupancy operation, and it is difficult to display the correct occupancy/absence. The problem was that it couldn't be done. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a system that can correctly display room occupancy without being affected by operational errors or forgotten operations by the resident.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the occupancy system of the present invention determines whether a resident is in the room or not based on daily life information such as water usage patterns, and determines whether the resident is in the room or not. The feature is that when it is determined, the display is automatically changed to the presence display even when the absence display is displayed. In addition, in a system that indicates whether a resident is in the room or not by locking the external lock of the entrance door and operating the room presence operation, it is possible to determine whether the resident is in the room or not based on daily life information such as water usage patterns. When it is determined that the room is occupied, the display may be automatically changed to the occupancy display even when the absence display is displayed.

[0006] Furthermore, it is preferable to determine whether a resident is present in the room or not and to determine whether there is a water leak based on the water usage pattern, and to display whether the resident is present or absent and whether there is a water leak.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a first embodiment, in which 1 is an electric lock on the entrance door, and when the outer lock is locked, a signal is sent out. 2
3 is a pushbutton switch provided in the room for performing the above-mentioned special occupancy operation, and 3 is a water sensor that transmits a flow rate signal according to the flow rate of water used. 4 is a circuit that receives the flow rate signal from the water sensor 3 and determines whether there is a leak or normal water usage based on the temporal change in this flow rate signal, that is, the water usage pattern. If there is a change in the amount of water used, it is determined that the resident is in the room, and if a constant flow rate is continuously flowing, it is determined that there is a water leak. It sends out a signal indicating that the person is in the room, and if not, it sends out a signal indicating that the person is not in the room. Also, if it is determined that there is a water leak, it will send out a water leak signal.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a priority judgment circuit, and when a room occupancy signal is sent from the judgment circuit 4, this room occupancy signal is preferentially transmitted to a display circuit 6 to display the room occupancy. 7 is a display panel having a discrimination circuit 4, a priority discrimination circuit 5, and a display circuit 6. Note that the display circuit 6 not only displays presence/absence of the room but also displays water leakage. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of a second embodiment of the present invention, and illustrates the second embodiment of the present invention using a diagram similar to a flowchart. In the figure, 1 is an electric lock on the entrance door, and 3 is a water sensor. This second embodiment is equipped with a pushbutton switch similar to that of the first embodiment, and judges signals from the electric lock 1, water sensor 3, and pushbutton switch 2 to indicate whether the room is occupied or not. It is connected to a display panel with software.

When the outer lock of the electric lock 1 is locked (ON), an out-of-home indication (absence indication) is displayed, and when it is unlocked (OFF), an occupancy indication is displayed. Further, when the pushbutton switch 2 is manually operated (ON), an occupancy indication is displayed, and when the pushbutton switch 2 is not operated, an out-of-room indication is displayed. Furthermore, according to the flow rate signal from the water sensor 3, when the water sensor is activated (0N), the room presence is displayed, and when the water sensor is not activated (0N)
FF), the outing display is displayed. Note that when the water sensor is operating, it means when water is being used intermittently,
This is when there is a change in the amount of water used, and it is possible to determine whether a person is in the room based on daily life information based on such water usage patterns.

[0010] In both of the above embodiments, the presence or absence of a resident is determined based on the water usage pattern, but if the living information of the resident is in the room, even if it is not the water usage pattern, it is determined based on other living information. Able to judge presence/absence of the room. As such lifestyle information, gas usage patterns, electricity usage patterns, etc. can be used. In both of the above embodiments,
If the water sensor activates a certain amount when the room is displayed as occupancy, it is equipped with program software that indicates that there is a resident in the room.

[0011]

[Effects of the Invention] Since the room occupancy display system of the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to confirm whether the room is occupied or absent based on the presence or absence of daily life information such as whether domestic water is being used. Correct room occupancy display can be performed without having to lock the outer lock or operate a special push button switch for occupancy operation.
