Abstract

An information processing system includes a sensor that detects entry of a person into a room, and determines whether the person who enters the room is a care recipient as a user of the room or a caregiver who provides care for the user. The information processing system specifies a person who enters the room, and stores an entry detection result by the sensor, a determination result, and a specification result. The information processing system outputs first notification information indicating the entry detection result, second notification information indicating the determination result, and third notification information indicating the specification result to a notification destination.

Claims (41)

1 . An information processing system comprising:

a sensor configured to detect entry of a person into a room;

at least one memory storing instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to do information processing, the information processing includes:

determining whether the person who has entered the room is a care recipient as a user of the room or a caregiver who provides care for the user;

identifying the person who has entered the room;

storing an entry detection result by the sensor, a determination result by the determining, and a specification result by the identifying in the at least one memory; and

outputting first notification information indicating the entry detection result, second notification information indicating the determination result, and third notification information indicating the specification result to a notification destination.

2 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the outputting is outputting the second notification information and the third notification information to the notification destination after outputting the first notification information to the notification destination.

3 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the outputting is outputting the third notification information to the notification destination after outputting the first notification information and the second notification information as one piece of notification information to the notification destination.

4 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the outputting is outputting the first notification information, the second notification information, and the third notification information as one piece of notification information to the notification destination.

5 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the storing includes storing in the at least one memory, as a notification condition, necessity of notification, and the notification destination, the first notification information, the second notification information, and the third notification information in a case where a notification is required, for each care recipient as the user, and

the outputting includes outputting to the notification destination according to the notification condition.

6 . The information processing system according to claim 5 , wherein the information processing further includes setting the notification condition.

7 . The information processing system according to claim 5 , wherein the notification condition includes a condition indicating that, when it is detected that the caregiver who provides care for a care recipient serving as the user enters the room before the care recipient enters the room, no notification is performed until the care recipient and the caregiver are no longer in the room subsequently.

8 . The information processing system according to claim 5 , wherein the notification condition includes a condition indicating that, in a state where a care recipient as the user is in the room, no notification is performed while the caregiver who provides care for the care recipient as the notification destination is in the room.

9 . An information processing method comprising:

detecting entry of a person into a room by a sensor;

determining whether the person who has entered the room is a care recipient as a user of the room or a caregiver who provides care for the user;

identifying the person who has entered the room;

storing an entry detection result by the sensor, a determination result acquired by the determining, and a specification result acquired by the identifying; and

outputting first notification information indicating the entry detection result, second notification information indicating the determination result, and third notification information indicating the specification result to a notification destination.

10 . The information processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the outputting is outputting the second notification information and the third notification information to the notification destination after outputting the first notification information to the notification destination.

11 . The information processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the outputting is outputting the third notification information to the notification destination after outputting the first notification information and the second notification information as one piece of notification information to the notification destination.

12 . The information processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the outputting is outputting the first notification information, the second notification information, and the third notification information as one piece of notification information to the notification destination.

13 . The information processing method according to claim 9 , further comprising storing, as a notification condition, necessity of notification, and the notification destination, the first notification information, the second notification information, and the third notification information in a case where a notification is required, for each care recipient as the user, wherein

the outputting includes outputting to the notification destination according to the notification condition.

14 . The information processing method according to claim 9 , further comprising setting the notification condition.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute information processing of:

detecting entry of a person into a room by a sensor;

determining whether the person who has entered the room is a care recipient as a user of the room or a caregiver who provides care for the user;

identifying the person who has entered the room;

storing an entry detection result by the sensor, a determination result acquired by the determining, and a specification result acquired by the identifying; and

outputting first notification information indicating the entry detection result, second notification information indicating the determination result, and third notification information indicating the specification result to a notification destination.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15 , wherein outputting is outputting the second notification information and the third notification information to the notification destination after outputting the first notification information to the notification destination.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15 , wherein the outputting is outputting the third notification information to the notification destination after outputting the first notification information and the second notification information as one piece of notification information to the notification destination.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15 , wherein the outputting is outputting the first notification information, the second notification information, and the third notification information as one piece of notification information to the notification destination.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15 , wherein the information processing includes storing, as a notification condition, necessity of notification, and the notification destination, the first notification information, the second notification information, and the third notification information in a case where a notification is required, for each care recipient as the user, and

the outputting includes outputting to the notification destination according to the notification condition.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15 , wherein the information processing includes setting the notification condition.
