An event prediction system according to an aspect includes an acquisition unit and a symptom detection unit. The acquisition unit acquires body movement data about a subject's body movement from a measuring device that outputs the body movement data. The symptom detection unit makes, based on a subset, acquired during a past reference period, of the body movement data, a decision about whether or not there are any symptoms of an onset of a particular event related to the subject.

Event prediction system, sensor signal processing system, event prediction method, and non-transitory storage medium

Disclosed herein is a sensor processing system including an acquisition unit, a time series analysis unit, and a decision unit. The acquisition unit acquires measurement data from a measuring unit. The measuring unit measures a physical quantity, of which a value varies depending on whether a human is present in, or absent from, an object space. The time series analysis unit obtains an analysis model for a time series analysis in which the measurement data acquired at a predetermined timing is represented by multiple items, acquired before the predetermined timing, of the measurement data. The decision unit decides, depending on a decision condition including a condition concerning a coefficient of the analysis model, whether the human is present or absent at the predetermined timing.

Presence/absence detection method, non-transitory storage medium, sensor processing system, and sensor system

Communication device includes first sensor configured to measure a state of a sensing target person to acquire first measurement data, second sensor configured to measure a body temperature to acquire second measurement data, and memory unit configured to store a reference body temperature for a single or each of a plurality of predetermined states of the sensing target person. Communication device further includes state determiner configured to determine whether or not the sensing target person is in the single or any one of the plurality of predetermined states, and abnormality determiner configured to compare the reference body temperature with the body temperature of the sensing target person to determine whether or not the sensing target person has a body temperature abnormality.

Communication device, abnormality notification system, and abnormality notification method

An information processing device obtains measurement data for calculating biological information of a measurement subject from a sensor that performs measurement without contact. Based on content of the measurement data, the measurement data is classified into a group associated with at least a position of the measurement subject, the biological information is calculated from the classified measurement data, and the calculated biological information is compared with a reference value associated with a group to which the measurement data belongs. Then, a notification is made based on the comparing.

Anomaly notification system that notifies of an anomaly of cared person in room includes sensor, sound collecting unit, first determination unit that determines whether a volume of the collected sound is more than or equal to a reference volume, second determination unit that determines whether a target sound is a predetermined activity sound generated by an activity of cared person, and third determination unit that determines whether an anomaly occurs in cared person, based on the activity amounts, which are measured before and after the target sound is collected, and notification unit.

Anomaly notification system and anomaly notification method

A method includes: acquiring body motion data related to body motions of a target person; generating, based on the body motion data, sleep state data related to a sleep state of the target person; storing the sleep state data into a sleep state database; predicting a future change in a physical condition of the target person from the sleep state data by referencing a physical condition prediction information database; and when the physical condition data indicating the physical condition of the target person is acquired, reading past sleep state data over a past period from the sleep state database, collating the physical condition data with the past sleep state data to generate physical condition prediction information for predicting a particular change in the physical condition from particular sleep state data, and registering the physical condition prediction information into the physical condition prediction information database.

Method for predicting future change in physical condition of person from sleep-state history

A system for detecting a target object includes a first detector that detects an object by emitting radio waves and receiving reflected waves that are the emitted radio waves reflected by a target object, a second detector that detects heat generated by the target object, and an information collection apparatus that determines the presence or absence of the target object on the basis of the detected reflected waves and the detected heat, and the information collection apparatus determines the presence of the target object in a case where the first detector has detected a movement of the target object and the second detector has detected the heat.

Disclosed is an indoor unit having a dust storage container in which dust removed from an air filter is stored, and a dust collecting box into which the dust in the dust storage container is transferred by utilizing an effect of blown air. The dust storage container is provided with a full condition detection means for detecting a dust full condition of the dust collecting box. The full condition detection means includes an LED and a phototransistor which are opposed to each other with a storage portion interposed therebetween. After a dust transfer operation which transfers the dust from the dust storage container to the dust collecting box, an intensity of light of the LED that has passed through the storage portion is detected by the phototransistor. If the detected light intensity is equal to or less than a set value, a full condition of the dust collecting box is detected.

A flow metering device designed to variably control the discharge from a variable displacement pump by detecting changes in momentum of the flowing fluid, which are proportional to the mass flow rates. The rate of discharge from the pump is then accurately controlled to a prescribed rate without being influenced by changes in viscosity of the fluid or where cavitation, bubbling, or the like occurs in the flow.
