Abstract
The present invention relates to an assembly, configured to detect a body on a support, comprising: —the support having a body receiving surface configured to receive the body; —an array of sensors that is arranged at a distance relative to the body receiving surface of the support and comprising: —a plurality of presence detectors; —at least one liveliness detector; and —a controller configured to detect the presence of a living person based on measurement signals of both the presence detectors and the at least one liveliness detector.
Claims26
An assembly, configured to detect a body of a living person on a support having a body receiving surface configured to receive the body, and comprising:
- an array of sensors that is configured to be arranged at a distance relative to the body receiving surface of the support and comprising a plurality of presence detectors;
- a concentrator that is configured to concentrate a load on a presence sensor of one of the plurality of presence detectors in an occupied state of the support and comprising a contact portion that is configured to abut the presence sensor of the one of the plurality of presence detectors when the body is present on the support, and unload the presence sensor of the one of the plurality of presence detectors in an unoccupied state of the support,
- wherein the concentrator comprises a pivot that is configured to pivotably arrange said concentrator in a measurement device, wherein:
- the pivot is arranged at a first side of the concentrator;
- and
- the contact portion is arranged at a lever distance (L) from the pivot;
- and
- a controller configured to determine if the body is lying on a back or on a side of the body based on measurement signals of the plurality of presence detectors.
An assembly, configured to detect a body on a support having a body receiving surface configured to receive the body, and comprising:
- an array of sensors that is configured to be arranged at a distance relative to the body receiving surface of the support and comprising a plurality of presence detectors;
- and
- a concentrator that is configured to concentrate a load on a presence sensor of one of the plurality of presence detectors in an occupied state of the support and comprising a contact portion that is configured to abut the presence sensor of the one of the plurality of presence detectors when the body is present on the support, and unload the presence sensor of the one of the plurality of presence detectors in an unoccupied state of the support, wherein the concentrator is configured to have the contact portion arranged at an offset relative to the presence sensor of the one of the plurality of presence detectors below a predetermined unoccupied load
- wherein the concentrator comprises a pivot that is configured to pivotably arrange said concentrator in a measurement device, wherein:
- the pivot is arranged at a first side of the concentrator;
- and
- the contact portion is arranged at a lever distance (L) from the pivot.
