Apparatus for monitoring the activity of a person and/or detecting the falling down of a person

摘要

The system includes detectors (2a-2c, 3-5) for generating signals indicating acceleration, speed and position representing the stationary and spatial position of a person under surveillance. A further circuit (7-9) is used for processing these signals over time in order to determine a probability factor representing the probability of a dangerous situation having occurred. As a function of the probability factor, which has been determined, an alarm signal is activated. This alarm signal is then transmitted to a remote monitoring station (21). The probability is assessed by an artificial neuronal network in which the values of bias and weighting are determined by experiment results.
