Abstract: A care system monitoring method for sensing the movement state of a bedridden person is provided. The care system monitoring method includes the following stages. Initial-state information is sensed. A first warning signal is issued to remind the caregiver to perform a movement action on the bedridden person when the time that the bedridden person has been in the initial state exceeds the threshold period. First-state information (which is information that is collected when the bedridden person is in the first state) is sensed after completing the movement action. It is determined whether the bedridden person was moved correctly according to the initial-state information and the first-state information. The first-state information is reset as the initial-state information if it is determined that the bedridden person has been moved correctly. A second warning signal is issued if it is determined that the bedridden person has been moved incorrectly.

Abstract: A multi-point measurement of a scene captured in an image frame may be used to process the image frame, such as by applying white balance corrections to the image frame. In some examples, the image frame may be segmented into portions that are illuminated by different illumination sources. Different portions of the image frame may be white balanced differently based on the color temperature of the illumination source for the corresponding portion. Infrared measurements of multiple points in the scene may be used to determine a characteristic of the illumination source of different portions of the scene. For example, a picture that includes indoor and outdoor portions may be illuminated by at least two illumination sources that produce different infrared measurements values. White balancing may be applied differently to these two portions to correct for color temperature of the different sources.
