Abstract:
A healthcare monitoring system for health caring and space monitoring that determines movements or existence of a care recipient by utilizing visual images to detect variation in shape of an optical pattern is provided. The system includes a light source unit, an image capturing unit, an image processing unit and a warning unit. By capturing the shape variation of the optical pattern emitted by the light source unit provided around a lying equipment via the image capturing unit, the system effectively determines motions of the care recipient lying on the lying equipment, such as motions of getting up, turning over and hand waving, in addition to lying flat, and detects activities of care providers or irrelevant persons around the lying equipment, thereby having an advantage that the activities of the care recipient lying on the lying equipment and the condition around the lying equipment can be monitored comprehensively.

Claim (Index 1):
A healthcare monitoring system, at least comprising:\n a light source unit provided at a side of a lying equipment, the light source unit emitting a light beam including at least an optical pattern toward the lying equipment, wherein the optical pattern is varied as projecting onto at least an object, an image capturing unit provided at a side of the light source unit, the image capturing unit including an optical lens and an optical sensor connected to the optical lens, wherein the optical lens continuously captures a plurality of images of the object and the optical pattern to form the images onto the optical sensor, the light source unit is a flashing light source of which a flashing frequency is the same as an image-capturing frequency of the image capturing unit, an image processing unit electrically connected to the image capturing unit, the image processing unit including a reception module and a determination module electrically connected to the reception module, the reception module receiving the plurality of images captured by the image capturing unit and defining the image captured at an initial time to be an initial image, the determination module comparing the image captured at a subsequent time with the initial image, when the result of comparing indicating the images being inconsistent, the determination module sending a signal, and a warning unit receiving the signal sent by the determination unit and sending a warning signal.
