Abstract

Provided are a watching system and a management server which are capable of obtaining necessary information quickly after the recovery while reducing the burden on the careworkers or the like even when a failure occurs in the network system connecting a mobile terminal with a management server.

Claims (22)

1. A watching system comprising:

a sensor device that receives data from a watching target person and outputs a signal corresponding to the data;

a management server that is communicably connected to the sensor device via a network; and

a mobile terminal that is capable of performing wireless communication with the management server via the network and outputs a watching alarm on the basis of a signal transmitted from the sensor device via the management server,

wherein, when the mobile terminal transmits login information to the management server via the network, the management server permits the mobile terminal to log in, so that information related to the watching target person stored in the management server is accessible from the mobile terminal, and the management server causes transition from unprocessed information to processed information to be performed in a case in which there is a response indicating responding in the information related to the watching target person accessed from the mobile terminal,

when the mobile terminal transmits logout information to the management server, the management server permits the mobile terminal to log out, so that the information related to the watching target person stored in the management server is inaccessible from the mobile terminal, and

in a case in which the mobile terminal that has logged in is unable to perform communication with the management server, the management server stores the unprocessed information before the communication is unable to be performed, and then when the mobile terminal is able to perform communication with the management server, the management server transmits a notification indicating that the unprocessed information is stored to the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal presents information indicating that the unprocessed information is stored to the management server in response to the notification.

2. The watching system according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case in which the mobile terminal that has logged in is unable to perform communication with the management server, and then the mobile terminal is able to perform communication with the management server, when a reconnection request is made from the mobile terminal, the management server resumes or continues logging-in by the mobile terminal.

3. The watching system according to claim 2 , wherein, in a case in which the login information is stored, and the mobile terminal that has logged in is unable to perform communication with the management server, the mobile terminal makes the reconnection request by repeatedly transmitting the login information to the management server automatically, and prohibits a user from inputting.

4. The watching system according to claim 2 , wherein the mobile terminal includes a touch panel type screen that displays the information indicating that the unprocessed information is stored to the management server and a button that is manipulated by a user and causes the unprocessed information stored in the management server to be accessible in accordance with the notification indicating that the unprocessed information is stored which is transmitted from the management server in a case in which the logging-in is resumed or continued.

5. The watching system according to claim 2 , wherein, in a case in which the mobile terminal is unable to perform communication with the management server, if a predetermined period elapses, the mobile terminal returns to a state in which an input of the login information is received.

6. The watching system according to claim 3 , wherein the mobile terminal includes a touch panel type screen that displays the information indicating that the unprocessed information is stored to the management server and a button that is manipulated by a user and causes the unprocessed information stored in the management server to be accessible in accordance with the notification indicating that the unprocessed information is stored which is transmitted from the management server in a case in which the logging-in is resumed or continued.

7. The watching system according to claim 3 , wherein, in a case in which the mobile terminal is unable to perform communication with the management server, if a predetermined period elapses, the mobile terminal returns to a state in which an input of the login information is received.

8. The watching system according to claim 4 , wherein, in a case in which the mobile terminal is unable to perform communication with the management server, if a predetermined period elapses, the mobile terminal returns to a state in which an input of the login information is received.

9. The watching system according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case in which the mobile terminal is unable to perform communication with the management server, if a predetermined period elapses, the mobile terminal returns to a state in which an input of the login information is received.

10. A management server comprising:

a communication unit that performs communication with a sensor device that receives data from a watching target person and outputs a signal corresponding to the data, and a mobile terminal that outputs a watching alarm on the basis of a signal transmitted from the sensor device, via a network; and

a storage that stores various kinds of information,

wherein, when login information transmitted by the mobile terminal via the network is received by the communication unit, the mobile terminal is permitted to log in, so that information related to the watching target person stored in the storage is accessible from the mobile terminal,

transition from unprocessed information to processed information is performed in a case in which there is a response indicating responding in the information related to the watching target person accessed from the mobile terminal,

when logout information transmitted from the mobile terminal is received by the communication unit, the mobile terminal is permitted to log out, so that the information related to the watching target person stored in the storage is inaccessible from the mobile terminal, and

in a case in which the mobile terminal that has logged in is unable to perform communication with the management server, the unprocessed information before the communication is unable to be performed is stored in the storage, and then when the mobile terminal is able to perform communication with the management server, a notification indicating that the unprocessed information is stored in the storage is transmitted from the communication unit to the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal is able to present information indicating that the unprocessed information is stored in the storage in response to the notification.
