Abstract
A monitoring system can protect the privacy of a treatment recipient while monitoring the treatment recipient being treated. A transmitter transmits a beacon signal. A beacon detector detects an RSSI(2) of the beacon signal. A monitoring device includes an imaging element, an open-close body, a beacon detector, an obtainer, and an open-close body controller. The imaging element captures an image of a treatment recipient being treated by a treatment provider through an opening. The open-close body opens and closes the opening. The beacon detector detects an RSSI(1) of the beacon signal. The obtainer obtains the RSSI(2) detected by the beacon detector. The open-close body controller controls opening and closing of the open-close body based on the RSSI(1) detected by the beacon detector and the RSSI(2) obtained by the obtainer.
Claims6
A monitoring system, comprising:
- a transmitter to be carried by a treatment provider to treat a treatment recipient in a room;
- a monitoring device placeable nearer a doorway of the room than a treatment location at which the treatment recipient is to be treated;
- and
- a second beacon detector placeable nearer the treatment location than the monitoring device,
- wherein the transmitter transmits a beacon signal,
- the second beacon detector detects a second received signal strength indicator of the beacon signal from the transmitter, and
- the monitoring device includes
- an imaging element configured to capture an image of the treatment recipient being treated by the treatment provider through an opening,
- an open-close body configured to open and close the opening,
- a first beacon detector configured to detect a first received signal strength indicator of the beacon signal from the transmitter,
- an obtainer configured to obtain the second received signal strength indicator detected by the second beacon detector, and
- an open-close body controller configured to control opening and closing of the open-close body based on the first received signal strength indicator detected by the first beacon detector and the second received signal strength indicator obtained by the obtainer.
