Description

  The present invention relates to a monitoring system and a monitoring method.

  Conventionally, a monitoring system for monitoring the position of a monitoring target such as a child is known.

  For example, in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-284140), a user's current position is detected using a mobile phone and GPS (Global Positioning System), and the user's current position deviates from a predetermined route. Alternatively, there is described a position monitoring system capable of notifying the user's mobile phone when the user's moving speed suddenly changes and further requesting the security center to be dispatched.

Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-359147) describes a position monitoring system that notifies a predetermined contact when a person to be monitored deviates from a specific area.
JP 2003-284140 A JP 2001-359147 A

  For example, when the parent wants to monitor the position of the child, the day when the parent wants to monitor the position of the child is likely to be a day when the parent and the child are separated (for example, the day when the child goes to school). Furthermore, even during the day of attending school, there is a high possibility that the time when the parent wants to monitor the position of the child is the time when the child is moving between the house and the school.

  Therefore, when a parent monitors the position of a child using the position monitoring system described in Patent Document 1 or the position monitoring system described in Patent Document 2, the child is kept until a day and a time period when monitoring is not necessary. The problem of monitoring occurs. Note that the problem of monitoring an object to be monitored until a day and time when monitoring is not necessary is not limited to the case where a parent monitors the position of a child.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a monitoring system and a monitoring method capable of monitoring only when necessary.

  In order to achieve the above object, a monitoring system according to the present invention is used by being carried by a monitoring object, and generates a current position information indicating a current position based on a radio wave transmitted from a GPS satellite.

  The monitoring method of the present invention includes a current position information generation step in which a position information terminal device carried by a monitoring object generates current position information indicating a current position based on radio waves transmitted from GPS satellites, A monitoring step for monitoring the monitoring object based on the current position information generated in the current position information generation step, wherein the monitoring period for monitoring the monitoring object is stored in the monitoring period Only when the storage period stored in the monitoring period storage unit stores the date and time information generation step for generating date and time information indicating the current date and time, and the date and time indicated by the date and time information is included in the monitoring period storage unit. And a control step for operating the monitoring step.

  According to the above invention, if the period requiring monitoring is stored in the monitoring period storage unit, the monitoring object can be monitored only when necessary. For this reason, for example, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience of monitoring a monitoring object such as a child until it is not necessary to monitor.

  The monitoring period is preferably a monitoring period set in units of one day.

  According to the above invention, for example, when the monitored object is a child who goes to school, it is possible to set the monitoring period stored in the monitoring period storage unit as a day scheduled to go to school. Therefore, it becomes possible to cancel the monitoring that is less necessary, such as monitoring the position of the child on a school holiday that may be with the parent.

  The monitoring period is preferably a monitoring period set in units of one month.

  The monitoring period is preferably a monitoring period specified by a time zone.

  According to the above invention, for example, when the monitoring object is a child who goes to school, the monitoring period stored in the monitoring period storage unit is a time period during which the child is moving between the house and the school It becomes possible. Therefore, it becomes possible to monitor only the time zone when the parent and the child are separated.

  In the monitoring system, the monitoring unit includes a map storage unit that stores a preset area, a contact storage unit that stores a contact information, and a current position indicated by the current position information is the map storage unit. And a position monitoring unit that outputs an alarm to a contact stored in the contact storing unit when the area deviates from the area stored in the contact storing unit.

  In the monitoring method, when the current position indicated by the current position information deviates from an area preset in the map storage unit, an alarm is given to the contact stored in the contact storage unit. It is desirable to output.

  According to the above invention, it is possible to perform monitoring that outputs an alarm to the contact address only when necessary, when the monitoring object deviates from the area.

  Further, in the monitoring system, the monitoring unit includes a speed storage unit that stores a predetermined speed set in advance, a contact storage unit that stores a contact, and the monitoring target person based on the current position information. A position monitoring unit that calculates a moving speed and outputs an alarm to a contact stored in the contact storing unit when the determined moving speed exceeds a predetermined speed stored in the speed storing unit. It is desirable.

  In the monitoring method, the monitoring step obtains a moving speed of the monitoring subject based on the current position information, and when the obtained moving speed exceeds a predetermined speed stored in the speed storage unit. It is desirable to output an alarm to the contacts stored in the contact storage unit.

  According to the above-described invention, it is possible to perform monitoring for outputting an alarm to the contact address only when necessary when the moving speed of the monitoring object exceeds a predetermined speed.

  According to the present invention, if a period requiring monitoring is stored in the monitoring period storage unit, it is possible to monitor the monitoring object only when necessary. For this reason, the inconvenience that the monitoring object such as a child is monitored until it is not necessary to monitor can be solved.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the monitoring system includes a location information terminal device 2 carried by the location monitoring target 1, a map database (map DB) 3, a contact database (contact DB) 4, a location monitoring unit 5, A monitoring period database (monitoring period DB) 6, a date and time information generation unit 7, and a control unit 8 are included. The map database 3, the contact database 4, and the position monitoring unit 5 are included in the monitoring unit.

  The position of the position monitoring target person 1 as the monitoring target is monitored by the monitoring system.

  The position information terminal device 2 acquires a position signal provided from a position information providing unit such as a GPS satellite, and generates current position information indicating the current position based on the acquired position signal. In the present embodiment, the position information terminal device 2 receives a radio wave transmitted from the GPS satellite 91, and generates current position information indicating the current position based on the received radio wave. The location information terminal device 2 is preferably a mobile phone with a GPS function.

  The location information terminal device 2 transmits the generated current location information to the location management unit 92. The position management unit 92 manages the current position of the position monitoring target person 1 based on the current position information transmitted from the position information terminal device 2. The position management unit 92 and the GPS satellite 91 are included in the position information management unit 9. Note that the location information terminal device 2 may transmit the generated current location information to the location monitoring unit 5.

  The monitoring unit including the map database 3, the contact database 4, and the position monitoring unit 5 monitors the position monitoring target person 1 based on the current position information generated by the position information terminal device 2.

  The map database 3 as a map storage unit stores a preset area. Specifically, the map database 3 stores a preset area where the position monitoring target person 1 may exist. For example, when the position monitoring target person 1 is a student, the map database 3 stores an area including the attending school route of the position monitoring target person 1 and its surroundings.

  The area stored in the map database 3 is preferably set by a monitor who desires to monitor the position monitoring target 1.

  The contact database 4 as a contact storage unit stores contacts. The contact stored in the contact database 4 is preferably a contact of a monitor who desires to monitor the position monitoring target 1 (for example, a telephone number of the monitor or an e-mail address of the monitor).

  The position monitoring unit 5 acquires the current position information generated by the position information terminal device 2. The location monitoring unit 5 acquires the current location information generated by the location information terminal device 2 from the location management unit 92 or the location information terminal device 2.

  The position monitoring unit 5 monitors whether or not the current position indicated by the acquired current position information deviates from the area stored in the map database 3.

  The position monitoring unit 5 outputs an alarm to a contact stored in the contact database 4 when the current position indicated by the acquired current position information deviates from the area stored in the map database 3.

  For example, when the telephone number of the supervisor is stored as a contact in the contact database 4, the position monitoring unit 5 performs the following operation on the telephone (for example, a mobile phone) 10 to which the supervisor's telephone number is assigned. A voice message indicating that the position monitoring target person 1 has deviated from the area is output. Note that the mobile phone 10 is used by a supervisor.

  In addition, when the contact person database 4 stores the e-mail address of the monitor as the contact information, the position monitoring unit 5 uses the e-mail address of the monitor (for example, the e-mail address assigned to the mobile phone 10). ), An e-mail indicating that the position monitoring target person 1 has deviated from the area is transmitted via the communication line 11 such as the Internet and the radio base station apparatus 12.

  Further, for example, when the position monitoring unit 5 receives the position request information for requesting the position of the position monitoring target person 1 transmitted from the monitoring person's mobile phone 10 or the monitoring person terminal device 13, the acquired current position information Is supplied to the monitor's mobile phone 10 or the monitor terminal device 13.

  The monitoring period database (monitoring period DB) 6 serving as a monitoring period storage unit stores a period for monitoring the position of the position monitoring target person 1.

  For example, the monitoring period database 6 may store a monitoring period set in units of one day as the monitoring period. The monitoring period database 6 may store a monitoring period set in units of one month as the monitoring period. Moreover, the monitoring period database 6 may store the monitoring period specified by the time zone as the monitoring period. In addition, the monitoring period database 6 may store a monitoring period that is set in units of one day and specified by a time zone as a monitoring period, and may be a monitoring period that is set in units of one month and specified by a time zone. It may be stored.

  The monitoring period stored in the monitoring period database 6 is preferably set by a monitor who desires to monitor the position monitoring target person 1.

  In addition, the position monitoring unit 5 may receive the monitoring period set by the monitoring person via the communication line 11 and store the received monitoring period in the monitoring period database 6. In this case, for example, the position monitoring unit 5 provides monitoring period setting screen information indicating a monitoring period setting screen to the monitoring terminal device 13 that has accessed the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the position monitoring unit 5.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a monitoring period setting screen.

  In FIG. 2, a monitoring period setting screen 100 includes a constant monitoring setting unit 101, a monitoring setting unit 102, a daily unit monitoring setting unit 103, a registration setting unit 104, a cancel setting unit 105, and a monitoring time according to the following schedule. A band setting unit 106 and a cursor 107 are included.

  The constant monitoring setting unit 101 is selected by the monitoring person when the monitoring person sets the monitoring period in units of one month. In the example of FIG. 2, the constant monitoring setting unit 101 is set to always monitor in May.

  In the following schedule, the monitoring setting unit 102 is selected by the monitoring person when the monitoring person sets the monitoring period in units of one day. The daily monitoring setting unit 103, the registration setting unit 104, and the cancellation setting unit 105 are used when the monitoring person sets a monitoring period on a daily basis.

  The monitoring time zone setting unit 106 is set by the monitoring person when the monitoring person sets the monitoring period specified by the time period.

  For example, when the monitor wants to always monitor during May, the monitor operates the monitor terminal device 13 so that the monitor setting unit 101 is always selected.

  When the supervisor wants to monitor from Monday to Friday in May, first, the supervisor operates the supervisor terminal device 13 so that the monitoring setting unit 102 is selected according to the following schedule. Subsequently, the monitor moves the cursor 107 on each day from Monday to Friday in May, and operates the monitor terminal device 13 so that the registration setting unit 104 is operated in that state. As a result of this operation, the word “monitor” is displayed at a location corresponding to the day on which monitoring is registered in each day indicated in the daily unit monitor setting unit 103.

  When deleting the registered “monitor”, the monitor moves the cursor 107 on the day on which the “monitor” is to be deleted, and operates the monitor terminal device 13 so that the cancel setting unit 105 is operated in that state. To do.

  In order to set a monitoring time zone, the monitoring person operates the monitoring terminal device 13 so that a desired monitoring time is set in the monitoring time zone setting unit 106.

  When the monitoring period setting by the monitoring person is finished, the monitoring person terminal device 13 transmits the monitoring period set on the monitoring period setting screen 100 to the position monitoring unit 5. The position monitoring unit 5 stores the monitoring period transmitted from the monitoring terminal device 13 in the monitoring period database 6.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the date and time information generation unit 7 generates date and time information indicating the current date and time.

  The control unit 8 compares the date / time information generated by the date / time information generating unit 7 with the monitoring period stored in the monitoring period database 6.

  The control unit 8 causes the position monitoring unit 5 to monitor the position monitoring target person 1 only when the date and time indicated by the date and time information is included in the monitoring period stored in the monitoring period database 6.

  Next, the operation will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart for operating the monitoring system. Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 3, the monitoring system operates.

  In step 31, the position monitoring unit 5 stores, in the map database 3, area information indicating the area where the position monitoring target person 1 may exist, transmitted from the monitoring person terminal device 13.

  For example, step 31 is executed as follows.

  When accessed by the supervisor terminal device 13, the position monitoring unit 5 transmits map information indicating a map stored in advance in the map database 3 to the supervisor terminal device 13.

  When the monitor terminal device 13 receives the map information transmitted from the position monitoring unit 5, the monitor terminal device 13 displays a map indicated by the received map information on a display unit (not shown) of the monitor terminal device 13.

  The monitor uses the map displayed on the monitor terminal device 13 to set an area to be stored in the map database 3.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an operation of setting an area to be stored in the map database 3 by using the map displayed on the monitor terminal device 13 by the monitor.

  In FIG. 4, the monitor has a first destination (for example, an elementary school) 202 and a second destination as areas to be stored in the map database 3 on the map 201 displayed on the monitor terminal device 13. The supervisor terminal device 13 is operated so that (for example, home) 203, the route 204 between the first destination 202 and the second destination 203, and the peripheral area 205 of the route 204 are displayed.

  The supervisor terminal device 13 transmits area information indicating the area set by the supervisor to the position monitoring unit 5. When the location monitoring unit 5 receives the area information transmitted from the supervisor terminal device 13, the location monitoring unit 5 stores the received area information in the map database 3.

  When step 31 ends, step 32 is executed.

  In step 32, the position monitoring unit 5 stores the contact address (for example, the monitor's telephone number or the monitor's e-mail address) transmitted from the monitor terminal device 13 in the contact database 4. When step 32 ends, step 33 is executed.

  In step 33, the position monitoring unit 5 stores the monitoring period transmitted from the monitoring terminal device 13 in the monitoring period database 6.

  For example, the position monitoring unit 5 provides monitoring period setting screen information indicating a monitoring period setting screen to the monitoring terminal device 13 that has accessed the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the position monitoring unit 5.

  Upon receiving the monitoring period setting screen information, the supervisor terminal device 13 displays, for example, a monitoring period setting screen as shown in FIG. The monitor uses the monitor period setting screen displayed on the monitor terminal device 13 to set the monitor period on the monitor period setting screen.

  When the monitoring period setting by the monitoring person is completed, the monitoring terminal device 13 transmits the monitoring period set on the monitoring period setting screen to the position monitoring unit 5. The position monitoring unit 5 stores the monitoring period transmitted from the monitoring terminal device 13 in the monitoring period database 6.

  When the monitoring period is sent from the supervisor to the manager of the position monitoring unit 5 by FAX or telephone, the manager of the position monitoring unit 5 sets the monitoring period sent from the supervisor to the monitoring period database 6. You may make it store in.

  When step 33 ends, step 34 is executed.

  In step 34, the control unit 8 compares the date / time information generated by the date / time information generating unit 7 with the monitoring period stored in the monitoring period database 6.

  If the date and time indicated by the date and time information is not included in the monitoring period stored in the monitoring period database 6, the control unit 8 executes Step 35.

  In step 35, the control unit 8 outputs a prohibition signal for prohibiting the position monitoring operation executed by the position monitoring unit 5 to the position monitoring unit 5. When receiving the prohibition signal, the position monitoring unit 5 prohibits the position monitoring operation. When outputting the prohibition signal, the control unit 8 executes Step 34.

  When the date and time indicated by the date and time information is included in the monitoring period stored in the monitoring period database 6, the control unit 8 executes Step 36.

  In step 36, the control unit 8 outputs an operation signal that causes the position monitoring unit 5 to execute a position monitoring operation to the position monitoring unit 5. When step 36 ends, step 37 is executed.

  In step 37, the position monitoring unit 5 acquires the current position information generated by the position information terminal device 2 from the position management unit 92 or the position information terminal device 2. The position information terminal device 2 is carried by the position monitoring target person 1, and the current position information generated by the position information terminal apparatus 2 indicates the current position of the position monitoring target person 1. When step 37 ends, step 38 is executed.

  In step 38, the position monitoring unit 5 stores in the map database 3 whether or not an abnormal state has occurred in the position monitoring target 1, specifically, the current position indicated by the current position information acquired in step 37. It is monitored whether it deviates from the designated area.

  When the current position indicated by the current position information acquired in step 37 does not deviate from the area stored in the map database 3, the position monitoring unit 5 notifies the control unit 8 to that effect. When the control unit 8 receives the notification, the control unit 8 executes Step 34.

  When the current position indicated by the current position information acquired in step 37 deviates from the area stored in the map database 3, the position monitoring unit 5 executes step 39.

  In step 39, the position monitoring unit 5 outputs an alarm to the contacts stored in the contact database 4.

  For example, when the telephone number of the supervisor is stored as a contact in the contact database 4, the position monitoring unit 5 performs the following operation on the telephone (for example, a mobile phone) 10 to which the supervisor's telephone number is assigned. A voice message indicating that the position monitoring target person 1 has deviated from the area is output. Note that the mobile phone 10 is used by a supervisor.

  In addition, when the contact person database 4 stores the e-mail address of the monitor as the contact information, the position monitoring unit 5 uses the e-mail address of the monitor (for example, the e-mail address assigned to the mobile phone 10). ), An e-mail indicating that the position monitoring target person 1 has deviated from the area is transmitted via the communication line 11 such as the Internet and the radio base station apparatus 12.

  In addition, if the contact database 4 stores a plurality of contacts (for example, the e-mail address of the monitor and the telephone number of the monitor), the problem that the notice of the discovery of an abnormality (alarm) does not reach the monitor Can be prevented.

  The position monitoring unit 5 executes Step 37 after completing Step 39.

  Further, for example, when the position monitoring unit 5 receives the position request information for requesting the position of the position monitoring target person 1 transmitted from the monitoring person's mobile phone 10 or the monitoring person terminal device 13, the acquired current position information Is supplied to the monitor's mobile phone 10 or the monitor terminal device 13.

  In addition, when the position monitoring unit 5 obtains the moving distance and the moving time of the position monitoring target person 1, and further obtains the average moving speed of the position monitoring target person 1 based on the moving distance and the moving time, The position monitoring unit 5 determines whether or not an abnormal state has occurred in the position monitoring target person 1 in step 38 when the average moving speed of the position monitoring target person 1 exceeds a predetermined speed. It may be determined that there is no abnormality when the average moving speed does not exceed the predetermined speed.

  Further, in step 38, the position monitoring unit 5 determines that when the position monitoring target person 1 deviates from the area stored in the map database 3 or when the average moving speed of the position monitoring target person 1 exceeds a predetermined speed. It may be determined that an abnormal state has occurred in the position monitoring target person 1. In this case, it is possible to detect an abnormality of the position monitoring target 1 that has occurred in the area.

  Further, by calculating the average moving speed, it is possible to detect a case where a child has been kidnapped by a car. For example, since the average moving speed of humans is 4 km / h and the moving speed of automobiles is 50 km / h on average, there is a difference of more than one digit. Less likely to do.

  The predetermined speed is stored in, for example, the map database 3, and the position monitoring unit 5 is based on the average moving speed of the position monitoring target person 1 and the predetermined speed stored in the map database (speed storage unit) 3. It is desirable to determine whether or not the average moving speed of the position monitoring target person 1 exceeds a predetermined speed.

  The position monitoring unit 5 may determine that the position monitoring target person 1 is abnormal even when the position monitoring target person 1 has not moved from a certain place for a long time.

  If the position monitoring unit 1 determines that the position monitoring target 1 has not moved from a certain place for a long time as abnormal, the position monitoring target 1 is in an abnormal state when taking a class at a school or the like. There is a possibility that the position monitoring unit 5 may misrecognize that it has occurred. In this case, by setting the time period excluding the period during which the position monitoring target person 1 is taking classes at a school or the like as the monitoring period, It is possible to reduce erroneous recognition by the position monitoring unit 5.

  In addition, the position monitoring unit 5 outputs an alarm signal to the position information terminal device 2 when the abnormality of the position monitoring target person 1 is detected, and the position information terminal device 2 issues an alarm when receiving the alarm signal. A sound may be generated.

  In the above-described embodiment, the monitoring system for school attendance monitoring in which the position monitoring target 1 is a child is mainly shown. However, the present invention is not limited to the monitoring system for school attendance monitoring and can be appropriately changed. For example, it may be applied to a system for monitoring a family situation where the position monitoring target 1 is a constituent of the family, or the position monitoring target is a valuable item such as cash, such as a financial institution. The present invention may be applied to a system for monitoring cash (precious goods) transportation.

  In the embodiment described above, the illustrated configuration is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to the configuration.
