Abstract
From a parameter setting unit, a user enters values for monitor start time (STime), check time (ETime) and a telephone number for notification (TelNo). The entered parameter values are stored into a storage unit. A door opening/closing detection unit detects opening/closing of e.g. a bathroom door. During the period from STime to ETime, the number of detections is counted and if the counted value is at most a predetermined value, it is determined as abnormal. When the abnormality is detected, a communication unit is automatically connected via a general public line to TelNo set by the user. A telephone to be notified is then notified of the abnormal condition of an inhabitant. Thus, an abnormal condition detecting system can be provided capable of appropriately detecting the abnormal condition of the inhabitant and promptly taking action thereon.
