Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a security system that is installed in a building such as a house and prevents a suspicious person from entering a building by generating a warning sound or notifying a designated destination when an intruder is detected. .

Conventionally, for example, an alarm device described in Patent Document 1 is known as a security system that is installed in a building such as a house or a building and prevents a suspicious person from entering the building. For example, this alarm device is set as a warning mode when there is no legitimate user in the building, and an abnormal warning is issued when an intruder into the building is detected in the warning mode.

However, in this alarm device, since the last evacuee among legitimate users, for example, a warning mode is set by passing a magnetic card through a card reader, in order to turn on the warning mode. Artificial manipulation is essential. Therefore, if the last exiter forgets or neglects such an operation, an alarm is not issued and the suspicious person cannot be prevented from entering.

In particular, when such an alarm device is installed in a house, there are many cases where the occupant goes out of the house without setting the alarm mode to the alert mode for a short time, for example, when taking out garbage. In such cases, it is often the case that the front door is not locked.
While the resident is talking as it is, a suspicious person enters the house and no alarm is issued, so the resident may be damaged by a crime such as an empty nest.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 9-147271

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a security system capable of automatically setting a warning mode without human operation.

In order to solve such a problem, the invention according to claim 1 is directed to the generation of a warning sound or a designated destination when an intruder is detected when the intruder is installed in a building and the warning mode is on. A security system that activates a crime prevention function such as a report of a person, and detecting a person in the building based on information from the person detecting means and information from the person detecting means It is characterized by comprising absence determination means, and warning mode input means for turning on the warning mode when it is determined that the absence is determined by the absence determination means.

The invention according to claim 2 is a security that activates a crime prevention function such as generation of a warning sound or notification to a designated destination when an intruder is detected when the intruder enters the building when the alarm mode is on. A position information acquisition means for acquiring position information from a GPS terminal possessed by a person concerned in the building, and the presence / absence of the person concerned in the building is determined based on information from the position information acquisition means; It is characterized by comprising absence determination means, and warning mode input means for turning on the warning mode when it is determined that the absence is determined by the absence determination means.

The invention according to claim 3 is a security that activates a crime prevention function such as generation of a warning sound or notification to a designated destination when an intruder is detected when the intruder enters the building when the warning mode is on. It is a system, The access information acquisition means which acquires the entrance / exit information of the building of the concerned person from the terminal which the concerned person of the building has, The concerned person in the building based on the entrance / exit information from the entrance / exit information acquisition means A presence determination means for determining presence / absence of the presence of a person and a warning mode input means for turning on the warning mode when the absence determination means determines that the person is absent.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the security system according to any one of the first to third aspects, the power consumption of the electrical equipment in the building is determined when the absence determination means determines that the absence is present. The electric device is controlled so as to be suppressed.

According to the present invention, even if a resident does not set a warning mode when going out, it can be determined that the security system is absent and the warning mode can be automatically turned on without human operation. Therefore, in a security system such as a conventional alarm device, for example, even when going out outdoors for a short time, such as going out of garbage, it was troublesome to set the alarm mode, but in the security system according to the present invention, There is no need for such a setting, and the resident is free from trouble.

Further, in the conventional security system, for example, if the resident forgets to set the warning mode, the warning mode is not set. In this case, since the warning mode is automatically turned on when the house is absent, it is possible to avoid such damage caused by human error and to surely prevent the intrusion of a suspicious person.

In particular, according to the invention of claim 2, while extending the life of the electric equipment, it is possible to save power by suppressing unnecessary energy consumption in the building.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a security system according to the present embodiment. This security system is a system installed in a house to prevent a suspicious person from entering the house. Reference numeral 1 denotes a security system, 2 denotes a control device (absence determination means, warning mode input means), and 3 denotes a human feeling. Sensors (human detection means), 4 indicates a release switch, and 5 indicates a speaker.

The security system 1 has a normal mode and a warning mode. The warning mode is a mode in which a warning sound is emitted from the speaker 5 when a person enters the house to activate the crime prevention function, and the normal mode is a mode in which such a crime prevention function is not activated. In the present embodiment, a warning sound is generated as a crime prevention function. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a suspicious person may be notified to an external designated destination.

There are a plurality of human sensors 3, which are arranged at various locations in a house (building) 6 as shown in FIG. The human sensor 3 detects a person in the detection range, and information of the human sensor 3 is sent to the control device 2.

The release switch 4 is a switch for releasing the alert mode, and is provided near the entrance of the house 6. When the resident (related person) operates the release switch 4, an instruction to release the warning mode is sent to the control device 2. Here, release switch 4
However, the present invention is not limited to this as long as an instruction to cancel the warning mode is given by the resident's operation, and for example, a card reader or a numeric keypad for inputting a password may be used. Further, the release switch 4 may be used as a switch for instructing the warning mode setting together with the instruction for releasing the warning mode. As a result, the resident can set the warning mode also by an artificial operation. The speaker 5 emits a warning sound or the like based on the control of the control device 2.

The control device 2 controls the operation of the entire security system 1. In particular,
As the absence determination means, the presence / absence of a person in the house 6 is determined based on the information from the human sensor 3, or when it is determined that the person is absent as the warning mode input means, the warning mode is set, that is, the warning mode. Or turn on. Further, the sound generation of the speaker 5 is controlled, and the mode is switched based on the operation instruction of the release switch 4.

In this security system 1, the normal mode is set when the resident is at home. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a flow of switching control from the normal mode to the warning mode in the security system 1.

First, in the normal mode (S1), the control device 2 receives information from each human sensor 3 (S2). Based on these pieces of information received in step S2, the control device 2 makes the house 6
The presence / absence of the person is determined (S3). Specifically, when at least one human sensor 3 among all the human sensors 3 detects a person, the control device 2 determines that a person is at home in the house 6, and any human sensor is detected. If the sensor 3 also does not detect a person, the control device 2 determines that there is no person in the house 6 and is away.

If it is determined in step S3 that the user is at home, the control device 2 returns to step S2 and repeats steps S2 and S3. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3 that the user is absent and absent, the control device 2 switches the normal mode to the warning mode and turns on the warning mode (S4). Note that switching to the alert mode may be performed immediately after it is determined that the user is absent, or may be performed after a certain period of time has passed.

If it is determined in step S3 that the user is absent, the control device 2 determines that the speaker 5
For example, a voice prompting confirmation of locking such as “Have you locked the door?” Is issued.

When the warning mode is turned on in this way, the human sensor 3 detects a person under this warning mode, and information on the human sensor 3 is sent to the control device 2. When at least one human sensor 3 detects a person, the control device 2 determines that there is an intruder in the house 6, activates the crime prevention function, and emits a warning sound from the speaker 5.

When the resident returns from going out and enters the house 6, the release switch 4 is operated to release the warning mode and switch to the normal mode.

In the security system 1 according to this embodiment, the human sensor 3 detects a person in the house 6, and the control device 2 determines the presence / absence of the person in the house 6 based on information from the human sensor 3. However, since it was decided to turn on the alert mode when it was determined that it was absent, it was determined that the security system 1 was absent even if the resident did not set the alert mode when going out. The warning mode can be turned on automatically without manual operation. Therefore, in a security system such as a conventional alarm device, for example, when going out outdoors for a short time, such as going out of trash, it is troublesome because it is necessary to set a warning mode. However, the security system according to this embodiment No. 1 does not require such setting, and the resident is free from troublesomeness.

In addition, in the conventional security system, for example, if the resident forgets to set the warning mode, the warning mode is not set. In the system 1, the warning mode is automatically turned on when the house 6 is absent. Therefore, damage caused by such a human error can be avoided and the intrusion of a suspicious person can be surely prevented.

Furthermore, when the control device 2 accumulates information of the human sensor 3 as, for example, a database, it is recorded when and how the intruder has moved in the alert mode. For example, according to the database shown in FIG. 4, it can be seen that the intruder has entered from the living room and has once escaped from the living room after entering the kitchen. Therefore, the movement of the intruder can be grasped by looking at the database record in the alert mode, and the security system 1 can be used for the search of the stolen goods and the investigation of the intruder's criminal technique. In the normal mode, the resident's movement is recorded. For example, according to the database shown in FIG. 5, it can be seen that the resident went to the toilet many times in a short period of time, and the resident's physical condition is noticed. Thus, the movement of the resident can be grasped by looking at the database record in the normal mode, and the resident can obtain a sense of security.

In addition, by connecting the security system 1 to a network (not shown), for example, when it is determined that the absence is present in step S3, the control device 2 transmits an e-mail or the like for prompting confirmation of locking to the resident's mobile phone. It is also possible to make it. In addition, by sending such an e-mail to other residents (other families), it is possible to grasp that, for example, a child or an elderly person has gone out even if the other residents are far away, thereby realizing a simple watching function. be able to.

Furthermore, by allowing the resident to access the security system 1 via the Internet, the resident can grasp where the person is in the house 6 even from the outside. Therefore, in the alert mode, for example, it is easy to find even if an intruder is hidden in a toilet or bathroom. On the other hand, in the normal mode, for example, when a resident calls home from the outside, it is possible to obtain a sense of security because it is understood that another resident who is at home is taking a bath without answering the phone.

As a modification of the present embodiment, each control unit of an electric device such as a lighting device or a home appliance in the house 6 (
The control device 2 of the security system 1 is connected to a not shown. And step S
3, when it is determined that the user is absent, the control device 2 sends an instruction to turn off the power to each control unit of the electrical equipment.

By configuring the security system 1 in such a configuration, it is possible to extend the life of the electric device and to reduce power consumption by suppressing unnecessary energy consumption in the house 6.
In addition, as long as the electric device can be adjusted step by step, the power is not limited to OFF, and the level may be lowered. For example, the brightness may be lowered in the absence of a lighting fixture having a dimming function, or the set temperature may be raised in summer and lowered in winter in the absence of an air conditioning fixture.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of the security system according to the present embodiment. In this security system 10, the information from the GPS terminal 11 possessed by the resident is used instead of the security system 1 of the first embodiment determining the presence / absence of a person in the house 6 based on the information from the human sensor 3. The presence / absence of a person in the house 6 is determined by the above. Example 1
The same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted. The same applies to the following embodiments.

The security system 10 includes a network interface 13 and is connected to the network 12 via the network interface 13. Also, GP
The S terminal 11 is possessed by each resident and has a GPS function so that the position of the GPS terminal 11 is specified. The position information of the GPS terminal 11, that is, the position information of each resident is transmitted to the security system 10 via the network 12.

The control device 2 of the security system 10 receives (acquires) the resident's position information as position information acquisition means, and determines the presence / absence of the resident in the house 6 based on this position information. Specifically, position information for specifying the site range of the house 6 (area of the house 6) is set in the control device 2 in advance. By comparing the position information of the resident with the position information of the house 6, it can be determined whether or not the position of the resident is within the area of the house 6. Therefore, the position information of the house 6 and the position information of the resident are The presence / absence of the resident is determined by comparison.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a flow of switching control from the normal mode to the warning mode in the security system 10.

First, in the normal mode (S1), the control device 2 receives position information from each resident's GPS terminal 11 (S5). Based on the position information received in step S2, the control device 2 determines the presence / absence of a resident in the house 6 (S6). Specifically, as described above, the position information of the house 6 is compared with the position information of the resident, and when the position of at least one resident among the resident is within the area of the house 6, the control device 2 When it is determined that a resident is at home in the house 6 and none of the resident positions are within the area of the house 6, the control device 2 determines that there is no resident in the house 6 and is absent. To do.

When it is determined in step S6 that the user is at home, the control device 2 returns to step S5 and repeats steps S5 and S6. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S6 that the user is absent and absent, the control device 2 switches the normal mode to the warning mode and turns on the warning mode (S4).

In the security system 10 according to this embodiment, since the position of the resident who is out is known by using the position information of the resident, for example, it is possible to always grasp where a child or an elderly person is and realize a higher performance watching function. can do.

Although the security system 10 of the present embodiment includes the release switch 4,
When the position of at least one of the residents is within the area of the house 6 based on the position information of the residents in the warning mode, the control device 2 determines that the person is at home and cancels the warning mode. You may make it switch to normal mode automatically.

FIG. 8 is a block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of the security system according to the present embodiment. This security system 20 is a terminal reading device that reads the resident's terminal 21 in place of the security system 1 of the first embodiment determining the presence / absence of a person in the house 6 based on information from the human sensor 3 ( The presence / absence of a person in the house 6 is determined by the entry / exit information from the entry / exit information acquisition means) 22.

The security system 20 includes a terminal reading device 22, and this terminal reading device 22 is provided near the entrance. The terminal reader 22 reads the resident's terminal 21 in a non-contact manner, and the terminal reader 22 recognizes the terminal 21 only by the resident passing through the entrance. Then, the terminal reader 22 sends the read / exit information of the resident to the controller 2. The terminal 21 is a portable small terminal possessed by each resident, and is individually specified for each resident. This terminal 21 may have a key function of the house 6.

The control device 2 of the security system 20 receives (acquires) resident entry / exit information from the terminal reader 22 and determines the presence / absence of the resident in the house 6 based on the entry / exit information. Specifically, who owns which terminal 21 among the residents is registered in the control device 2 in advance. Therefore, when the terminal reading device 22 reads the terminal 21, the control device 2 can recognize who the resident has passed through the entrance, and the control device 2 can live based on the access information from the terminal reading device 22. The home / outing information is managed for each person. When the terminal reading device 22 reads the terminal 21 without pressing the release switch 4, the control device 2 determines that the resident who has the terminal 21 has gone out, and the release switch 4 is pressed and the terminal reading is performed. When the device 22 reads the terminal 21, the control device 2 determines that the resident who owns the terminal 21 has returned home. The home / outing information for each resident managed by the control device 2 makes it possible to determine whether or not there is a resident in the house 6, so that the control device 2 determines the presence / absence of the resident.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a flow of switching control from the normal mode to the warning mode in the security system 20.

First, in the normal mode (S1), the control device 2 receives the access information from the terminal reading device 22 (S7). Based on the access information received in step S7, the control device 2 determines the presence / absence of a resident in the house 6 (S8). Specifically, the home / outing information for each resident is managed as described above, and when at least one resident among the resident is at home from the home / outing information, the control device 2 is in the house 6. It is determined that the resident is at home, and when any resident is out, the control device 2 determines that there is no resident in the house 6 and is away.

If it is determined in step S8 that the user is at home, the control device 2 returns to step S7 and repeats steps S7 and S8. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S8 that the user is absent and absent, the control device 2 switches the normal mode to the warning mode and turns on the warning mode (S4).

In addition, in the security system 20 according to this embodiment, whether the entrance / exit of each resident's entrance is home or out is specified according to the presence / absence of the release switch 4 in accordance with the access information of the terminal reader 22. For example, it may be specified whether the user is going home or going out by detecting each human sensor 3 inside the house 6 and outside the entrance of the house 6 in accordance with the entrance / exit information of the terminal reader 22. Specifically, if a resident is recognized in the order of the human sensor 3 in the house 6, the terminal reading device 22, and the human sensor 3 outside the entrance, it is determined that the occupant has gone out, and conversely, the human sensor outside the entrance. When the resident is recognized in the order of the sensor 3, the terminal reader 22, and the human sensor 3 in the house 6, it is determined that the resident has come home. In addition, in such a configuration, even if the resident does not operate the release switch 4, at least one resident of the resident is at home from the home / outing information for each resident in the warning mode. Sometimes, it is possible to determine that the control device 2 is at home, cancel the warning mode, and automatically switch to the normal mode.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. For example, the embodiments 1 to 3 are used.
In the above description, the security systems 1, 10, and 20 have been described as being installed in the house 6.
