DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an alarm device and an alarm system for alerting a user to etiquette in an area where use of a portable radio such as a cellular phone is prohibited or in an area where self-control is prohibited. The present invention relates to an alarm device and an alarm system that can more effectively warn and alert by generating an alarm in accordance with the status of a wireless device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When radio waves of a portable radio device such as a cellular phone are transmitted in a train or a hospital, electromagnetic waves may interfere with the operation of other electronic devices. In addition, there are cases where it is difficult for a weak person such as a physically handicapped person or an elderly person to give up a seat on a train or the like, even when it is difficult to say. In general, regarding manners regarding the use of portable wireless devices in transportation and public places as described above, and general manners regarding use of transportation, advertising, in-car broadcasting, People are self-restraining the transmission of radio waves, etc., and are encouraged to give up seats, etc., through cautionary guidance by persons.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned method, for example, a passive warning such as an advertisement has little effect on people with low morals, and in-vehicle broadcasting and the like cannot be repeatedly broadcasted only occasionally. Since it is not possible to broadcast with good timing when using, the effect is small. Also, even if you see a person using a portable wireless device or a person who does not follow manners in a car, it is difficult to pay attention because of fear of remorse, etc. Sometimes it is difficult to tell people. Also, even if you are not using a mobile phone, you can make outgoing calls intermittently for automatic location registration, etc. as long as the power is on. Often, the power is not turned off.

[0004] Therefore, as a prior art which appeals to a user of a mobile phone or the like in a place where use is prohibited, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-1124 published April 23, 1999.
No. 13 "Mobile phone use warning device" (applicant: Eastern Co., Ltd., inventor: Koji Koike et al.). According to this conventional technique, a receiving unit extracts the same frequency as a carrier frequency of a mobile phone, outputs a detection signal when the extracted frequency component exceeds a preset reference value, and a control unit outputs a warning unit according to the detection signal. This is a mobile phone use alarm device that activates the mobile phone to warn the user of the mobile phone. This allows a person currently using the mobile phone to be warned directly and in a timely manner. The probability of being formed is improved.

[0005]

However, in the above-described conventional warning device, the position information that has little effect on other electronic devices is determined by the reference value determination (position registration).
To detect only the radio waves emitted at the time of incoming calls or calls that actually cause problems, emit light, display a message such as "Please refrain from mobile phones," Therefore, since the location registration state, that is, the state where the power is turned on and waiting is not detected, there is a problem that a user who has not turned off the power cannot be warned. Also, even if the reference value is lowered to detect radio waves for location registration, the same warning method is used for both calling and location registration, so the number of people to be warned, such as coffee shops, is small. Is effective, but for example in trains and hospitals,
There is a problem that the effect of the warning is small because the presence of the warning is not recognized.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and analyzes the state of transmission of a radio wave from a portable wireless device, and provides a timely appropriate, direct, and substantial signal to a user of a transmission source. It is an object of the present invention to provide a warning device and a warning system that can provide a warning according to a proper transmission state and enhance a warning effect for promoting self-restraint.

As a result, the user of the radio wave transmission source can be given an appropriate warning in a timely manner and in accordance with the use situation, and the warning effect for urging self-restraint can be enhanced.

Incidentally, the correspondence between each means in the first embodiment of the present invention and each part in FIG. 1 is shown. The receiving means corresponds to the antenna 1 and the receiver 2, and the alarm control means corresponds to the control device 3.
And the alarm means corresponds to the alarm output device 4.

First, a first configuration example and an operation environment of the alarm device according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a first configuration example and an operation environment of the alarm device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Alarm device 60 according to the first embodiment of the present invention
The (first alarm device) is transmitted from a general portable wireless device 50 operating in an area where use of portable wireless devices such as a mobile phone or a PHS is prohibited or where use is prohibited (referred to as an alert area). It receives radio waves, analyzes the types and characteristics of radio waves, and issues warnings associated with the types and characteristics.
The entire configuration may be in the alarm area, only the antenna portion for receiving radio waves from the portable radio device 50 and the output portion of the alarm may be in the alarm region, or the portable radio device 50 Only the antenna part for receiving the radio wave may be in the alarm area.

The case where the entire configuration is within the alarm range is, for example, a case where an alarm device is provided in each vehicle of a train, a radio wave is detected for each vehicle, and an alarm is output. Also, when the antenna part and the output part of the alarm are within the alarm area,
For example, there is a case where an antenna is provided in each vehicle of a train to receive a radio wave, control of an alarm is performed on a train basis, and an alarm is output in each vehicle. Further, the case where only the antenna portion is within the alarm area means that, for example, an antenna is provided in each train of the train to receive radio waves, the control of the alarm is performed in units of trains, and the output device provided in the conductor compartment or the like , An alarm is output (for example, display), and the conductor makes an announcement in the car according to the output.

Next, the first alarm device 60 of the present invention will be described.
As an example of the configuration, as shown in FIG.
It comprises a receiver 2, a control device 3, and an alarm output device 4.

The components of the first alarm device 60 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. The antenna 1 is a receiving antenna having a receiving sensitivity such that the communication range is within an area where use of the portable wireless device is prohibited or within a restricted area (referred to as an alarm area). An antenna that receives transmitted radio waves. The receiver 2 extracts a signal of a target frequency specified by an input frequency control signal from a received signal from the antenna 1 and outputs the extracted signal as a received signal. It is. As the receiver 2, a receiver having the same configuration as that of a radio actually used in a frequency band for monitoring reception can be used. However, in this case, when there are a plurality of channels in the band to be monitored for reception, it is necessary to control the reception frequency to receive and watch all the channels, so that it takes time to search. Here, the area where an alarm is generated (alarm area) is a narrow area such as the inside of a train, a lobby of a hospital, or the like. Therefore, the distance from the wireless device for detection to the antenna 1 is several meters to several tens of meters. The radio wave from the wireless device arriving at the antenna 1 as a meter is relatively strong. For this reason, the receiving sensitivity of the receiver 2 may be lower than that of an ordinary wireless device, so that the receiving band can be expanded accordingly. The receiver 2 is for detecting the presence or absence of a reception signal. Even if there are a plurality of radio wave transmitters (portable radios 50) in the reception band, the presence or absence of the reception signal is detected by integrating them. If possible, the reception band can be widened and the presence or absence of a reception signal within the band can be simultaneously detected. This makes it possible to use a receiver having, for example, the entire frequency band of a portable wireless device in the 800 MHz band as a reception band, and to allow a single receiver to receive a plurality of reception bands at once, and The entire band can be monitored at all times.

Here, a specific configuration example of the receiver 2 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the receiver 2 that receives a wide band. The receiver 2 for receiving a wide band includes a filter circuit 21 and an amplifier 22
And a detector 23. Filter circuit 2
Reference numeral 1 denotes a filter circuit for extracting a signal of a target frequency in accordance with an external frequency control signal.
A low-Q tuning circuit tuned to MHz may be used, for example, an LC resonance circuit. Make the receiving sensitivity in the band constant,
If it is desired to drop adjacent bands, a wide band bandpass filter or the like may be used.

The amplifying circuit 22 is a circuit for amplifying a target radio wave passing through the filter circuit 21. Here, the filter circuit 21 and the amplifier circuit 22 may be arranged in reverse. The detection circuit 2 is a circuit for detecting a received signal, and may be, for example, an envelope detection using a diode.

The control device 3 of the alarm device 60 controls an alarm output for urging self-control. Specifically, the control device 3 sequentially switches the frequency (target frequency) of the portable wireless device 50 to be monitored, and uses the frequency control signal to
To determine the presence or absence of a received signal of the frequency, analyze the characteristics of the received signal when it is detected, and instruct an alarm method previously associated with the state of the radio wave source estimated from the analysis result. The alarm output signal is output. It should be noted that the search is performed by sequentially switching all the target frequency ranges, and this search is continuously performed while the apparatus is operating, so that any time a target radio wave is transmitted, it is detected by the next search and an alarm is issued. Can be generated.

Here, a method of analyzing a received signal will be described. As a method of analyzing the received signal (analysis item), the type of the transmission source (portable wireless device 50) is specified, the state of the transmission source estimated from the characteristics of the transmission radio wave, the amount of the transmission radio wave (the number of transmission sources), and the like. Can be considered. If different alarm methods are associated according to the analysis results of these analysis items,
It is possible to give an alarm according to the transmitted radio wave condition in the prohibited area or the self-control area, and it is considered that the effect of calling the user to control the self-control is great.

Here, the type of the transmission source, the characteristics of the received radio wave, the estimated state of the radio transmission source, and an example of the announcement will be described with reference to FIG. Figure 3 shows the types of sources and
It is an explanatory view showing a main frequency band used, characteristics of a received radio wave, an estimated state of a radio wave transmission source, and an example of an announcement corresponding thereto. The mobile phone has a frequency band of 800 MHz and 1500 MHz, and the PHS has a frequency band of 1800 MHz. Further, as other portable wireless devices 50, frequency bands such as amateur wireless, special small wireless, business wireless, personal wireless, Bluetooth, and wireless LAN can be searched. When radio waves are continuously transmitted from each portable wireless device 50, it is estimated that a call or communication is being performed. , It is estimated that the location registration operation is being performed.

Therefore, the type of the portable radio device 50 according to the frequency is associated with the example of the warning announcement based on the state of the transmission source estimated from the characteristics of the radio wave being transmitted. For example, when a continuous radio wave is transmitted in the 800 MHz band, it can be determined that a call is being made using a mobile phone. Therefore, in this case, it can be said that the announcement in the train car is "Please refrain from using a mobile phone in the train." When a short radio wave is occasionally transmitted in the 1800 MHz band, it can be determined that the power of the PHS is turned on and the position recognition information is automatically transmitted. Therefore, in this case, the appropriate announcements in the train are "Turn off the PHS in the train" and "Turn off the mobile phone in the train".

As described above, the transmission frequency (frequency band) of the radio wave, the characteristics of the radio wave, and the like are analyzed, and the most appropriate alarm is issued accordingly. Note that if the same alarm content is used every time, the effect may be weakened. Therefore, a method may be used in which some of the candidates are listed and the alarm content is selected by a method such as random selection. Further, the above-described announcement example may be used as it is as a message display example of an electric bulletin board in an alarm area such as a vehicle.

Further, when a message is displayed, the display color may be switched in accordance with the severity of the warning (warning), or the highlight may be displayed by blinking display or the like. For example, for mobile phones and PHS,
Even when radio waves are transmitted continuously, it can be divided into calls and data transmission and reception such as Internet connection and mail transmission and reception. Is displayed in red as a high warning level.In the case of data transmission / reception, radio waves are intensive, and the level of warning to passengers is low. However, the mere power-on state (that is, the standby state) is a position registration transmission at regular intervals, and is displayed in green as a low warning level.

It is also possible to display the number of portable radio devices 50 that are powered on (including communicating and waiting) in the prohibited area for each type of radio wave and display the number. It is not necessary that the number is accurate. For example, if the number is displayed in a monitoring system or the like, an approximate number is displayed. An alarm (warning) can be issued. In addition, when pursuing the accuracy of the number, the line carrier (service company,
Since the identification of each portable wireless device can be performed in cooperation with the carrier maker), a more accurate number can be grasped.

Next, the internal configuration of the control device 3 in the first alarm device 60 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of an internal configuration of the control device 3 in the first alarm device 60. As shown in FIG. 4, the control device 3 in the first alarm device 60 includes an input interface 31 for receiving a received signal from the outside, a target frequency and a state of a received radio wave as shown in FIG.

2, a ROM 33 storing a program to be executed by the CPU 32, and an output interface 35 for outputting a frequency control signal and an alarm output signal.

Here, a specific example of the alarm control processing executed by the control device 3 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG.
It is a flowchart figure which shows the flow of the example of an alarm control processing program performed by CPU32 of the control apparatus of the 1st alarm device 60. The alarm control processing program switches and sets the frequency (target frequency) of the portable radio device 50 to be monitored (100), outputs a frequency control signal of the set target frequency (110), and outputs the target portable radio device. It is determined whether there is a received signal which is the transmission signal of No. 50 (120). If there is no received signal (No), the process returns to the process 100 and repeats the process for the next target frequency.

On the other hand, if a received signal is detected in the processing 120 (Yes), the characteristics of the received signal are analyzed (130), and the state of the radio wave source is estimated based on the analysis result. The alarm method associated with the type and the estimated result is determined (140), an alarm output signal specifying the alarm method is output (150), and the process returns to the process 100 to repeat the process for the next target frequency. It has become. When the search for all target frequencies is completed, the search is returned to the first target frequency and the search is repeated. In particular, when the alarm method is an announcement, a certain amount of waiting time is required according to the actual situation during the repetition. May be provided.

In the analysis of the characteristics of the received signal in the process 130, a waveform sample such as a continuous waveform or a periodic waveform for every several bands shown in FIG.
The information is stored in the AM 34, and an approximation to the waveform sample is determined and analyzed.

A method of announcing (voice output) a message from a speaker or the like included in the alarm output device 4, a method of displaying the message on an electric bulletin board included in the alarm output device 4, a bulletin board in which a plurality of messages are described in advance, And a method of visually displaying a message such as a method of displaying a message of the portion when the internal lamp is turned on.

Also, the alarm device 60 is installed for each train, and the radio wave of the portable radio 50 transmitted in each vehicle is received by the antenna installed for each vehicle. Such a message may be generated by a voice synthesizing device and announced using an in-vehicle broadcast, or may be displayed on a unified in-vehicle electronic bulletin board. Also,
If an announcement in a car or an electronic bulletin board can be controlled on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, it is effective if announcements and displays are made only on vehicles that have received radio waves.

An alarm output device 4 having a display unit is installed in a conductor room, a monitoring system room, or the like, and the display unit displays the radio wave transmission status to notify the conductor or a supervisor of the radio wave transmission status. There is also a method of giving an announcement in the vehicle or giving a warning such as going directly to the caution according to the judgment of the conductor or the observer who has confirmed the displayed contents.

The operation of the first alarm device 60 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. First alarm device 60 of the present invention

Also, the control device 3 of the second configuration example does not set the target frequency or instruct the receiver, unlike the first configuration example, but receives any frequency from the input combined reception signal. It differs from the first configuration example in that it has a function of extracting whether a signal exists. The other components are the same as those of the first configuration example, and the description is omitted here.

The operation of the second configuration example of the alarm device 60 according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is based on the fact that radio waves transmitted from various portable radios 50 existing in a prohibited area or a self-restricted area are transmitted through an antenna. 1, the signals of different frequencies set in advance are received by the receivers 2'A to n, and the received signals An to n output from the respective receivers 2 'are combined and input to the control device 3.
