Abstract

A surveillance system can realize suitable tracking. A tracking band surveillance system composed of a tracking band 1 , a smartphone 2 , and a server 3 starts searching for free Wi-Fi and transmits data from the tracking band 1 to the server 3 via the searched free Wi-Fi on condition that interconnection between the tracking band 1 and the smartphone 2 has become impossible.

Claims (24)

1 . A surveillance system including a predetermined device, a server, and a portable relay device that relays communications between the predetermined device and the server,

wherein the predetermined device has

a detection means that acquires predetermined monitoring information from a monitoring target wearing the predetermined device and also acquires position information of the predetermined device, and

a monitoring information transmission means that transmits the monitoring information and the position information acquired by the detection means to the server via the relay device when interconnected with the relay device and that starts searching for an alternative network, which is an open network different from a network to the server, and transmits the monitoring information and the position information acquired by the detection means to the server by using the searched alternative network without going through the relay device when interconnection with the relay device is not possible,

wherein the relay device is owned by a monitoring target and

has a relay means that receives transmission data from the predetermined device and the server and transmits the transmission data to the server and the predetermined device respectively, and that, on condition that the interconnection with the predetermined device has become impossible, transmits to the server a withdrawal signal, position information of the predetermined device included in the relay device when the interconnection with the predetermined device has become impossible, and position information of the relay device when the interconnection with the predetermined device has become impossible, and

wherein the server is configured to display on a management screen that the interconnection between the predetermined device and the relay device has become impossible and that the predetermined device can no longer be watched over on condition that the withdrawal signal has been received from the relay device.

2 . The surveillance system according to claim 1 , wherein the relay device has an identification means that identifies which model the predetermined device having transmitted the monitoring information is based on a device identifier in each of a plurality of the predetermined devices with different models, the device identifier indicating the predetermined device and that identifies which monitoring information in the surveillance system the monitoring information received from the predetermined device corresponds to based on a machine learning model using model information and vital data as teacher data.

3 . The surveillance system according to claim 1 , wherein the server is configured to display the position information of the predetermined device and the position information of the relay device on the management screen.

4 . The surveillance system according to claim 3 , wherein the position information of the predetermined device displayed on the management screen is latest position information included in the relay device.

5 . The surveillance system according to claim 4 , wherein the server is configured to display on the management screen that an alert under the condition that the withdrawal signal has been received has been issued, when the interconnection between the predetermined device and the relay device becomes possible after the withdrawal signal has been received.

6 . The surveillance system according to claim 4 , wherein the relay device has an identification means that identifies which model the predetermined device having transmitted the monitoring information is based on a device identifier in each of a plurality of the predetermined devices with different models, the device identifier indicating the predetermined device and that identifies which monitoring information in the surveillance system the monitoring information received from the predetermined device corresponds to based on a machine learning model using model information and vital data as teacher data.

7 . The surveillance system according to claim 3 , wherein the server is configured to display on the management screen that an alert under the condition that the withdrawal signal has been received has been issued, when the interconnection between the predetermined device and the relay device becomes possible after the withdrawal signal has been received.

8 . The surveillance system according to claim 3 , wherein the relay device has an identification means that identifies which model the predetermined device having transmitted the monitoring information is based on a device identifier in each of a plurality of the predetermined devices with different models, the device identifier indicating the predetermined device and that identifies which monitoring information in the surveillance system the monitoring information received from the predetermined device corresponds to based on a machine learning model using model information and vital data as teacher data.

9 . The surveillance system according to claim 1 , wherein the server is configured to display on the management screen that an alert under the condition that the withdrawal signal has been received has been issued, when the interconnection between the predetermined device and the relay device becomes possible after the withdrawal signal has been received.

10 . A surveillance system including a server that receives predetermined monitoring information acquired by a predetermined device from a monitoring target wearing the predetermined device,

wherein, when the predetermined device and a portable relay device owned by the monitoring target are interconnected, the server receives transmission data from the predetermined device and the server and receives the monitoring information and position information of the predetermined device via the relay device that transmits the transmission data to the server and the predetermined device respectively, and

when the interconnection between the predetermined device and the relay device has become impossible, the server receives the monitoring information and the position information of the predetermined device by using an alternative network, which is an open network different from a network at a time of the interconnection and has been searched by the predetermined device, without going through the relay device, and also receives from the relay device a withdrawal signal, position information of the predetermined device included in the relay device when the interconnection has become impossible, and position information of the relay device when the interconnection with the predetermined device has become impossible, and

the server is configured to display on a management screen that the interconnection between the predetermined device and the relay device has become impossible and that the predetermined device can no longer be watched over on condition that the withdrawal signal has been received from the relay device.

11 . The surveillance system according to claim 10 , wherein the server is configured to display the position information of the predetermined device and the position information of the relay device on the management screen.

12 . The surveillance system according to claim 11 , wherein the position information of the predetermined device displayed on the management screen is latest position information included in the relay device.

13 . The surveillance system according to claim 12 , wherein the server is configured to display on the management screen that an alert under the condition that the withdrawal signal has been received has been issued, when the interconnection between the predetermined device and the relay device becomes possible after the withdrawal signal has been received.

14 . The surveillance system according to claim 11 , wherein the server is configured to display on the management screen that an alert under the condition that the withdrawal signal has been received has been issued, when the interconnection between the predetermined device and the relay device becomes possible after the withdrawal signal has been received.

15 . The surveillance system according to claim 10 , wherein the server is configured to display on the management screen that an alert under the condition that the withdrawal signal has been received has been issued, when the interconnection between the predetermined device and the relay device becomes possible after the withdrawal signal has been received.
