e-遠隔見守り（転倒検知 Ver3)

ｅ-SARES Corporation

About this app

This is a "remote monitoring" service that detects falls in the workplace and reports them to labor managers, etc.
As employees age, the number of falls in the workplace is increasing, and this can be used as a countermeasure against workplace accidents.
　
・It can be used in laboratories with many private rooms to strengthen information security measures, etc., in case of an employee's fall or emergency call.
・It can be used for patrol monitoring of factory production equipment, etc., and for reporting employee falls and emergency calls.
・Can be used at construction/civil engineering sites, etc. for employee falls and emergency calls.
・Can be used to detect trips and falls by elderly people.
・Can be used to detect falls such as epileptic seizures.

*This application runs on Android 8.0 or higher.

[Main functions]
Fall detection can be done by simply putting it in the pocket of your work jacket or pants.
By detecting an abnormality in the smartphone's acceleration sensor, etc., we will send GPS location or Wi-Fi communication information, camera images (photos or 5 seconds of video footage) to the administrator (guardian), email attachments (up to 3 email addresses) or phone notification. (3 phone numbers).
① Automatic start
Start and end the application at the specified time.
② Action settings when falling
You can set the countdown (seconds) until the alarm sounds, and set the beep and vibration ON/OFF.
③You can adjust the fall detection level according to the user.
④You can change the email content. (Example: 〇〇. I have fallen, please help me.)
⑤ It is also possible to set up the use of your own outgoing mail server. (The default is Gmail (GSuite) *server.
⑥Pedometer function (ON/OFF setting) records the approximate number of steps and distance per day.
7. For data SIM free smartphone phone calls, the pre-installed Skype app will launch.
In the initial settings, please register a dummy number (e.g. 1234) in "Call number ① of contact information"
　
*For privacy reasons, emails will be sent directly from our business Gmail (GSuite) server.

Notice: Depending on the screen lock (pattern, PIN, password, etc.) settings on your Android smartphone, camera shooting and email sending will be put on hold after an abnormality is detected.
To automatically take pictures or send emails, please go to your smartphone's "Settings" → "Device Security" → "Screen Lock" and select "Delete".


[Fall detection parameter settings]
As shown in the initial setting screen, you can set levels ① to ⑤.
①The closer the value of the acceleration sensor is to 1, the more it is equal to the earth's gravity, and a value of 10 is easier to detect falls than 1.
②The gyro sensor is the setting value for the orientation of the smartphone. 0 or 180 means the smartphone is stationary.
③ and ④ are the elapsed time from when the acceleration sensor is detected until the acceleration is measured again and judged.
For example, if a person suddenly stops while walking and is "detected," then continuing to walk is normal behavior.
If this elapsed time is long, it is determined that an "abnormality has been detected."
⑤ From ① to ⑤, the fall detection alarm is determined from the set value and the measured value, and if it is close to 0, unnecessary alarms are suppressed.

In the empirical evaluation, the following is the case when a smartphone is dropped from a vertical direction.
It depends on the smartphone model...
For example, to detect falling from a chair, ① 4, ②50, ③3, ④3, ⑤30
Fall detection at waist belt position is ① 5, ②50, ③3, ④3, ⑤50
Detection of fall at breast pocket position is ① 6, ②50, ③3, ④3, ⑤65 (default value)

There are variations depending on the parts performance of the model and the user's behavior, so we would appreciate it if you could try it out before setting it up.
