[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a home security system, and more particularly, to a home security system capable of coping with various modes of living, such as living alone and an elderly household.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a security system that prevents a suspicious person from entering a security target such as a factory, an office, or a store has been widely known. This is done by installing a sensor or emergency bell inside the security object in advance, and when the sensor detects an abnormality, the emergency bell rings and intimidates the suspicious person, and the security company or management company via the telephone line This is a system in which a base station (control center) is notified and a guard or the like who receives the report rushes to a security target.
[0003]
Further, in recent years, crimes such as theft by suspicious persons have occurred frequently, and thus demands for security systems have been increasing not only in factories and offices but also in ordinary households. For this reason, a home security system using a similar system as a residence and taking a security target as a house is considered.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the above-mentioned home security system has various conditions for introduction, such as the necessity of construction in the house to install and wire the sensor, and accordingly, there are various costs such as equipment costs and maintenance costs. Due to the bulkiness, users were limited. In particular, it has been considered difficult to introduce a home security system because rented houses generally cannot be constructed. In addition, even if there is a request to request security only when leaving home for a long period of time, such as a business trip or a trip, construction of the house is required to build a security system. Not suitable. In other words, the security system cannot be rented out or used according to the user's convenience.
[0005]
In addition, when a resident goes out while forgetting the operation of the home security system and goes out, and when the resident goes home while the suspicious person is lurking in the dwelling, the resident may be suspicious. There is a danger that the resident will be hurt by the suspicious person being harmed by the persons being mixed in the house.
[0006]
In addition, if the resident has pets such as dogs and cats indoors, when the resident goes out, take the pets out or move the pet inside a circle or clay to move around the room. For example, it is necessary to prevent the pet from turning around, and it is not possible to go out while the pet is left indoors, which is inconvenient for a living mode in which the pet is kept indoors.
[0007]
In addition, modern living styles tend to be fragmented because the number of elderly living with young people living alone and nuclear families has increased, and the number of living styles in apartments and condominiums has increased, In a conventional home security system, it has been difficult to introduce the system into various living situations.
[0008]
Therefore, in view of the above situation, the present invention provides a home security system that can be easily introduced even in various living modes, prevents crime by a suspicious individual, and improves the safety of the resident. Is the subject.

And an occurrence instruction notifying unit 39 for notifying the operating unit 22 of the generation instruction KD.
[0045]
When the server 2 recognizes the state information, the management company that manages the server 2 first calls the resident's house where the security device 4 that has output the state information is installed, and checks the state of the resident's house. Then, if necessary, a security guard or the like is rushed to the resident's house. Further, when the server 2 recognizes the emergency information, the third information terminal device 6c thereafter detects whether or not the e-mail is opened, and the e-mail is not opened even after a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes) elapses. In this case, a contact is made with the immediate family or the like who is the owner of the third information terminal device 6c by telephone, or a caretaker or the like is rushed to support the resident. If the condition is severe, an ambulance is arranged. As a result, a resident whose physical condition has deteriorated can be immediately rescued even if he / she cannot contact his or her immediate family.
[0046]
The status information notified from the server 2 to the second information terminal device 6b and the emergency information notified from the server 2 to the third information terminal device 6c are distributed by e-mail, and require a specific terminal device. Instead, it is possible to receive status information and emergency information using an information terminal device that is widely used, such as a mobile phone. In addition, once an e-mail is sent, it will not be erased unless it is operated on the information terminal device side. It is possible to recognize. Here, the status information specifying means 34 and the electronic mail transmitting means 37 correspond to the status information notifying means of the present invention, and the emergency information specifying means 36 and the electronic mail transmitting means 37 correspond to the emergency information notifying means of the present invention.
[0047]
Next, the first information terminal device 6a, the second information terminal device 6b, and the third information terminal device 6c in the home security system 1 will be described. The first information terminal device 6a, the second information terminal device 6b, and the third information terminal device 6c are the same type of information terminal device such as a mobile phone, and the one that outputs a generation instruction KD when operated by a resident is described. One that functions as one information terminal device 6a, and that the status information output from the security device 4 is notified from the server 2 functions as the second information terminal device 6b, and that the emergency information output from the security device 4 is transmitted from the server 2 What is notified functions as the third information terminal device 6c.
[0048]
In this embodiment, since the first information terminal device 6a, the second information terminal device 6b, and the third information terminal device 6c have substantially the same functional configuration, the configuration of the first information terminal device 6a is representative. Will be explained. As shown in FIG. 3, the first information terminal device 6a includes a communication control unit 42 for transmitting and receiving to and from the server 2 by a receiving unit 40 and a transmitting unit 41, and a storage unit 43 for storing an e-mail transmitted from the server 2. A display control means 45 for displaying the e-mail stored in the storage means 43 on a display means 44 such as a liquid crystal screen; an operation means 46 comprising ten keys and function instruction switches; and a voice control means 21 of the apparatus body 7. And a generation instruction output means 47 for outputting a generation instruction KD for generating a warning message by activating the alarm.
[0049]
Here, the threatening function in the home security system 1 means that the resident operates the first information terminal device 6a to output the generation instruction KD, so that the operation unit 22 of the security device 4 activates the voice control unit 21. Then, a warning message is issued indoors. Thus, when the resident forgets the operation of the security device 4 and goes out, for example, 10 minutes before returning home from the place where the user is going out, the resident outputs the generation instruction KD from the possessed first information terminal device 6a and issues a warning message. , It is possible to intimidate the suspicious person with a warning message and leave the house even if the suspicious person is lurking in the house. For this reason, it is suitable for a living mode in which a woman lives alone.
[0050]
The emergency notification function in the home security system 1 means that the resident presses the emergency switch 23 or the like in an emergency to output emergency information, and the emergency information is notified to the third information terminal device 6c of the emergency information notifier by the server 2. An e-mail is sent to inform the residents of the emergency situation. Thereby, the emergency information notifier can easily recognize that an emergency has occurred in the resident. For this reason, it is suitable for living alone or living in an elderly household.
[0051]
Next, an operation flow of the home security system 1 of the present embodiment, in particular, processing in the security device 4 will be described with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 are flowcharts showing a main flow in the security device 4, FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a threatening process in the security device 4, and FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an emergency notification process in the security device 4.
[0052]
As shown in FIG. 4, when going out, the resident first operates the remote controller 8 to activate the apparatus main body 7. Upon receiving an ON signal from the remote controller 8 to start abnormality detection (YES in step S1), the apparatus body 7 starts the operation of the timer T1 in step S2. The timer T1 measures a predetermined time (60 seconds in this embodiment) until the resident leaves the room, and can be set as appropriate by the resident.
[0053]
Then, the apparatus main body 7 determines whether the set mode is the normal mode, the pet mode, or the elderly mode. If the normal mode is set, a message such as "Start abnormality detection in the normal mode" is uttered (step S4), while if the pet mode is set, "start abnormality detection in the pet mode" A message such as "I will do it" (step S5). If the elderly person mode is set, a message such as "Start abnormality detection in elderly person mode" is uttered (step S6).
[0054]
Next, it is determined whether the timer T1 has passed a predetermined time. When the timer T1 reaches a predetermined time (YES in step S7), the timer T1 is stopped and abnormality detection is started according to the set mode (step S8). When the sensor detects an abnormality due to intrusion of a suspicious person or the like, a detection signal is transmitted from the sensor. When receiving the detection signal transmitted from the sensor (YES in step S9), the apparatus main body 7 starts the operation of the timer T2 in step S10, and issues a warning message such as "notify the police" (step S12). ). The timer T2 measures a predetermined time (30 seconds in this embodiment) until the suspicious person who hears the warning message leaves the room. In addition, when the security device 4 malfunctions during the stay of the occupant and a warning message is issued, for example, a stop operation can be performed as a time for canceling the abnormality detection.
[0055]
On the other hand, when the detection signal is not transmitted from the sensor (NO in step S9), the process proceeds to step S11. In step S11, it is determined whether or not the resident returns home and the apparatus main body 7 is stopped. Then, when an OFF signal for stopping abnormality detection is received from remote controller 8 (YES in step S11), all the processes are terminated. On the other hand, when an OFF signal is not received (NO in step S11), the process of step S9 is performed. Return to
[0056]
Next, it is determined whether the timer T2 has passed a predetermined time. When the timer T2 reaches a predetermined time (YES in step S13), the timer T2 is stopped, and the process proceeds to step S14. In step S14, it is determined whether the suspicious person has left during the operation of the timer T2. If the sensor does not continuously output a detection signal and recognizes the suspicious person has left (YES in step S14), the first state information indicating that the suspicious person has entered and left based on the detection signal. Is output (step S15). On the other hand, when the detection signal is continuously received and the stay of the suspicious person is recognized (NO in step S14), the process proceeds to step S16.
[0057]
As shown in FIG. 5, in step S16, based on the detection signal, second state information indicating that the suspicious individual has entered and stays is output. When the second state information is output, the operation of the timer T3 is started in step S17, and the siren 20 is sounded (step S18). As a result, the intrusion of the suspicious person is also notified to the neighborhood, so that even a suspicious person who did not leave with the warning message starts to leave without any endurance. This makes it possible to reliably prevent crimes such as theft by suspicious persons. The timer T3 measures a predetermined time (10 minutes in this embodiment) for sounding the siren 20.
[0058]
