Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this specification, as an example of a position monitoring system, a counselor is to be monitored so that the current position of a counselor candidate who should request coping operations such as confirmation and recovery for an abnormality occurring in a certain surveillance area can be referred to. A security service support system for remotely monitoring the current position will be described. However, the position monitoring system of the present invention is not limited to such a security work support system, and can be widely applied to a position monitoring system that monitors the current position of a monitored person such as a worker.
(Overall configuration of security service support system)
Please refer to FIG. The security service support system 1 is installed in the monitored facility 3 in the monitoring area 2 to be monitored and detects an abnormality, and is installed in the outer region 5 outside the monitored facility 3 to detect the abnormality. A sensor 6 is provided.

The security service support system 1 includes a security device 7 connected to the sensors 4 and 6 and a center device 10 installed in the monitoring center 9 and connected to the security device 7 through the communication line 8. The security service support system 1 includes a mobile terminal device 13 possessed by a counselor 12 heading for the monitoring area 2 in response to a coping request from the superviser 11 who monitors the center device 10.
The sensor 4 is installed, for example, in the monitoring target facility 3 or in an opening / closing part such as a window or a door, and detects an intruder or an intruder in the monitoring target facility 3. The sensor 6 is installed on the outer wall of the monitoring target facility 3, the outer region 5, and the opening / closing portion of the entrance of the monitoring area 2, and detects an intruder or an intruder in the monitoring area 2.

The security device 7 monitors the occurrence of an abnormality in the monitoring area 2 based on the detection signal from the sensor 4 or 6. The operation mode of the security device 7 includes a security set mode and a security release mode. When the detection signal is received in the security set mode, the security device 7 transmits an abnormality signal to the center device 10.
The center apparatus 10 that has received the abnormal signal displays the occurrence of abnormality on the display unit, for example, and notifies the monitoring person 11 of the occurrence of abnormality. The monitoring person 11 who confirmed the occurrence of the abnormality operates the center device 10 to display the current position and current state of the handling person 12 on the display unit, and selects the handling person 12 to deal with the abnormality occurring in the monitoring area 2. For example, the monitoring person 11 selects the coping person 12 to deal with the abnormality according to the relative positional relationship between the monitoring area 2 and the coping person 12.
Reference is made to FIG. For example, the center device 10 may display a current position display screen 20 indicating the current position of the coping staff 12 on the display unit. The current position display screen 20 includes a map 21, a mark indicating the positions of the coping personnel 12a to 12c, and a mark 22 indicating the position of the monitoring area 2 to be dealt with. For example, the monitoring person 11 may select any of the coping persons 12a and 12b within the predetermined range 24 from the monitoring area 2. The coordinator 12a closest to the monitoring area 2 may be selected. The current position display screen 20 may or may not include the dotted line 24 indicating the predetermined range.

Further, the monitoring staff 11 may select the handling staff 12 in consideration of the current state of the handling staff 12 in addition to the current position of the handling staff 12. For example, the monitoring person 11 may select the dealing person 12b that is not in the predetermined state among the dealing persons 12a and 12b located within the predetermined range 24 from the monitoring area 2. For example, the monitoring staff 11 may exclude from the selection candidates a handling staff who is handling an abnormality that has occurred in another monitoring area or a handling staff who is moving to another monitoring area to deal with the abnormality. For example, the monitor 11 may exclude a counselor who performs a relatively urgent task from the selection candidates, and may select a counselor who performs a relatively urgent task.
Please refer to FIG. The monitoring staff 11 requests the selected handling staff 12 for handling. The coordinator 12 that has received the request for coping moves from the area where the coordinator is present toward the monitoring area 2 where the abnormality has occurred. For example, the coping person 12 moves toward the monitoring area 2 from a predetermined waiting place or other monitoring area, or in the middle of movement.

While the coordinator 12 is moving toward the monitoring area 2 and other destinations, it is difficult to estimate the current position of the coordinator 12 because the current position changes every moment. It is better to grasp the current position of the coping person 12. For this reason, the mobile terminal device 13 possessed by the counselor 12 transmits the current position information of the mobile terminal device 13 to the center device 10 at a predetermined cycle T1 when it is determined that the counselor 12 is moving. Execute. The predetermined period T1 may be 1 minute, for example.
Reference is made to FIG. Assume that the coping member 12 moves from the position indicated by reference numeral 25 and is moving at the position indicated by reference numeral 26. The center device 10 displays the position 26 indicated by the current position information of the mobile terminal device 13 transmitted at a predetermined cycle T1 on the current position display screen 20 as the current position of the coping person 12.

On the other hand, if the coping person 12 does not move, the current position of the coping person 12 can be estimated. For example, when the coping person 12 arrives at the monitoring area 2 and stops moving outside the monitoring area 2, it can be estimated that the coping person 12 is in the monitoring area 2 until the coping person 12 leaves the monitoring area 2. Alternatively, when the coordinator 12 stops moving, it can be estimated that the operator 12 is in the vicinity of the position indicated by the current position information transmitted last during movement. For this reason, if the mobile terminal device 13 does not determine that the coping staff 12 is moving, the mobile terminal device 13 does not execute a transmission operation for transmitting the current position information at the predetermined period T1.
Reference is made to FIG. Assume that the coping member 12 arrives at “○ bank ○ branch”, which is the monitoring area 2 located at the position indicated by the mark 22. When the coping person 12 arrives at the monitoring area 2 and stops moving outside the monitoring area 2, the mobile terminal device 13 does not determine that the coping person 12 is moving. For this reason, the portable terminal device 13 does not execute the transmission operation of transmitting the current position information at the predetermined cycle T1 until the coping staff 12 departs from the monitoring area 2.

When it is not determined that the counselor 12 is moving, the mobile terminal device 13 communicates, for example, when the mobile terminal device 13 communicates with the center device 10 by an input operation on the mobile terminal device 13 by the counselor 12. In addition, the current position information may be transmitted to the center apparatus 10.
As described above, in a situation where the position of the coping person 12 can be estimated, for example, the power consumption of the mobile terminal device 13 can be reduced by reducing the number of communications for transmitting the current location information of the mobile terminal device 13. it can.
On the other hand, when the coordinator is not moving, the center device 10 may display the position 27 of the monitoring area 2 stored in advance as the current position of the coordinator 12 on the current position display screen 20. Instead, the center device 10 uses the position indicated by the current position information transmitted during the input operation on the mobile terminal device 13 as the current position of the counselor 12 when the counselor is not moving. It may be displayed on the display screen 20.

(Configuration of mobile terminal device 13)
Next, the configuration of each part of the security service support system 1 will be described. As the mobile terminal device 13, a smartphone or a mobile phone can be used. However, the portable terminal device 13 is not limited to these. The portable terminal device 13 may be another device that is portable and has a communication function with the center device 10 and an information processing function, and can store these application programs and realize these functions.
The mobile terminal device 13 includes an operation unit 30, a display unit 31, a storage unit 32, a position acquisition unit 33, a communication circuit 34, and a control unit 35.

The operation unit 30 functions as an information input unit, and may include an input button, a touch panel provided on the display screen of the display unit 31, and the like. The operation unit 30 is used to receive information input and operation input to the mobile terminal device 13 by the coping staff 12. For example, the operation unit 30 receives input of information specifying the monitoring area 2 in which an abnormality handling by the coordinator 12 is performed, and information on the current action state of the counselor 12.
For example, the behavior information input screen 40 shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C is displayed on the display unit 31. When the operation unit 30 receives an operation performed on the behavior information input screen 40, information specifying the monitoring area 2 in which the abnormality is dealt with and information on the behavior state of the coordinator 12 are input. The behavior information input screen 40 may include a target facility input field 41 and a current state input field 42, for example.

In the target facility input field 41, information for designating the monitoring area 2 where the abnormality handling by the coping staff 12 is performed is input. For example, the name of the monitoring area 2 is input. In the example of FIGS. 4A to 4C, the name “○ bank ○ branch” of the monitoring area 2 is input. Information on the current action state of the coping member 12 is input to the current state input field 42. As the behavior state, for example, “departure”, “arrival”, “working”, and “resting” can be input. In the following description, information that designates the monitoring area 2 that is input to the target facility input field 41 and that is handled by the cooperator 12 may be referred to as “monitoring area information”. Information on the current behavior state of the coping staff 12 input to the current status input field 42 may be referred to as “behavior status information”.
Please refer to FIG. The display unit 31 functions as a display unit and displays various types of information under the control of the control unit 35.

The storage unit 32 includes, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The storage unit 32 may include a nonvolatile memory or a hard disk drive device. The storage unit 32 stores a computer program executed by the control unit 35 and data necessary for executing the computer program.
The computer program executed by the control unit 35 may be recorded on a machine-readable recording medium, read by a medium reading device (not shown), and installed in the storage unit 32. The computer program may be downloaded from the communication line 8 via the communication circuit 34 and installed in the storage unit 32.

The position acquisition unit 33 measures the current position of the mobile terminal device 13 and acquires current position information of the mobile terminal device 13. For example, the position acquisition unit 33 may include a GPS receiver that receives a GPS signal transmitted from a GPS (global positioning system) satellite. The position acquisition unit 33 may calculate the current position of the mobile terminal device 13 based on the GPS signal received from the GPS satellite.
The communication circuit 34 includes a wired or wireless communication interface, and is connected to the communication line 8 via a connector or an antenna.

  The control unit 35 includes a process execution unit 36, a state determination unit 37, and a communication processing unit 38. The control unit 35 includes a processor and its peripheral circuits. By executing the computer program stored in the storage unit 32, the processing unit 36, the state determination unit 37, and the communication processing unit 38 described below are executed. To implement. That is, the computer program includes instructions for causing the control unit 35 to execute the processes of the process execution unit 36, the state determination unit 37, and the communication processing unit 38.

The process execution unit 36 executes a predetermined process for managing the work of the coordinator 12 that deals with the abnormality that has occurred in the monitoring area 2. For example, when the monitoring staff 11 requests handling, when the “handling request signal” for requesting handling by the handling staff 12 is transmitted from the center apparatus 10 to the mobile terminal apparatus 13, the processing execution unit 36 The display unit 31 may display that the countermeasure request signal has been received.
For example, the process execution unit 36 receives information input by the coordinator 12 to the operation unit 30 in the coping operation in the monitoring area 2 and executes a process according to the input information. For example, when the operation unit 30 receives an input operation involving communication with the center device 10, the process execution unit 36 transmits a “terminal signal” corresponding to the input to the center device 10 via the communication circuit 34. In other words, this terminal signal is transmitted along with an input operation on the operation unit 30 by the coordinator 12.
Such an input operation involving communication with the center device 10 may be a request operation for requesting the center device 10 for information indicating the state of the equipment in the monitoring area 2, for example. Or input operation accompanied with communication with the center apparatus 10 may be operation which inputs the inspection result of the monitoring area 2 by the coping person 12, for example. In response to these operations, the process execution unit 36 may transmit a request signal for equipment state information and an inspection result signal for notifying an inspection result to the center apparatus 10 as a terminal signal.

The state determination unit 37 determines the current state of the coping person 12. For example, the state determination unit 37 determines whether or not the coping member 12 is moving. The state determination unit 37 may determine whether or not the coordinator 12 is moving outside the monitoring area 2, and the coping person 12 is moving toward the monitoring area 2 or moving away from the monitoring area 2. It may be determined whether or not it is in the middle.
For example, the state determination unit 37 determines whether or not the coping member 12 is moving based on the behavior state information input in the current state input field 42 illustrated in FIGS. 4A to 4C. You can judge. For example, the state determination unit 37 determines that the coping person 12 is moving when the state “departure” is input in the current state input field 42, and the states “arrival”, “working”, or “resting” are displayed. If entered, it may be determined that the coping staff 12 is not moving.

  In addition, the state determination unit 37 may determine the current state of the coping person 12 based on the monitoring area information and the behavior state information input in the target facility input field 41 and the current state input field 42, respectively. For example, when the action state information is changed to “departure” without changing the monitoring area information from “monitoring area 2” that has been input from the previous time point, the state determination unit 37 indicates that the coordinator 12 is working. It may be determined that the vehicle is moving away from the monitored area 2. For example, when the monitoring area information is changed to “monitoring area 2” that is different from the previous time point and the behavioral state information is changed to “departure”, the state determination unit 37 moves the coordinator 12 toward the monitoring area 2 You may judge that it is inside.

In addition, the state determination unit 37 determines where the counselor 12 is as the current state of the counselor 12 based on the monitoring area information and the behavioral state information input in the target facility input field 41 and the current state input field 42, respectively. You can judge.
For example, when “monitoring area 2” is input to the target facility input field 41 and the state “arrival” or “working” is input to the current state input field 42, the state determination unit 37 causes the counselor 12 to monitor the monitoring area 12. You may decide that you are in 2. For example, if “monitoring area 2” is not input in the target facility input field 41 or the state “departure” or “during break” is input in the current state input field 42, the state determination unit 37 causes the counselor 12 May be determined not to be in the monitoring area 2. In addition, when the state “resting” is input to the current state input field 42, the state determination unit 37 may determine that the coping person 12 is in a predetermined waiting place.

When the behavior state information is input to the current state input field 42 and the state determination unit 37 determines the current state of the coping member 12, the process execution unit 36 via the communication circuit 34 determines the coping member 12 determined by the state determination unit 37. Is transmitted to the center device 10. Alternatively, when the monitoring area information and the action state information are input to the target facility input field 41 and the current state input field 42 and the state determination unit 37 determines the current state of the coping person 12, the process execution unit 36 passes through the communication circuit 34. Then, the current state of the coping member 12 determined by the state determination unit 37 is transmitted to the center device 10.
That is, the process execution unit 36 transmits the current state of the coping staff 12 in response to an input operation to the target facility input field 41 and an input operation to the current state input field 42. Therefore, the input operation to the target facility input field 41 and the input operation to the current state input field 42 correspond to an input operation involving communication with the center device 10. And transmission of the present state of the coping person 12 is equivalent to transmission of the terminal signal accompanying input operation. When transmitting a terminal signal indicating the current state of the coping member 12, the process execution unit 36 may include identification information of the mobile terminal device 13 in the terminal signal.

  The communication processing unit 38 transmits the current position information of the mobile terminal device 13 acquired by the position acquisition unit 33 to the center device 10 via the communication circuit 34. The communication processing unit 38 includes the identification information of the mobile terminal device 13 in the current position information transmitted to the center device 10. Here, the communication processing unit 38 transmits the current position information of the mobile terminal device 13 to the center device 10 at a predetermined cycle T1 when the state determination unit 37 determines that the coping staff 12 is moving. Execute.

When the state determination unit 37 does not determine that the coping staff 12 is moving, the communication processing unit 38 does not perform a transmission operation of transmitting the current position information of the mobile terminal device 13 to the center device 10 at a predetermined period T1. The case where it is not determined that the coping person 12 is moving may be, for example, a case where it is determined that the coping person 12 is in the monitoring area 2 or another area, or a case where the coping person is resting.
If the state determination unit 37 does not determine that the coping staff 12 is moving, for example, the communication processing unit 38 may transmit the current position information of the mobile terminal device 13 at a frequency lower than the predetermined period T1.

When it is not determined that the coping member 12 is moving, the communication processing unit 38 may transmit that the current position information is transmitted in response to the input operation, for example, when the operation unit 30 receives the input operation. . For example, the communication processing unit 38 receives an input operation involving communication with the center apparatus 10 by the operation unit 30 and transmits a terminal signal, that is, a signal different from the current position information to the center apparatus 10, together with the terminal signal, Location information may be transmitted.
Further, for example, the current position information may be included in the terminal signal. The communication processing unit 38 transmits a terminal signal instead of the processing execution unit 36, and this terminal signal may include information different from the current position information and current position information.
Further, for example, when the state determination unit 37 does not determine that the coping member 12 is moving, the communication processing unit 38 determines the current position information of the mobile terminal device 13 at a cycle T2 (for example, a cycle of 20 minutes) longer than the predetermined cycle T1. May be sent.

When the counselor 12 is moving, the center device 10 displays the position indicated by the current position information of the counselor 12 transmitted from the mobile terminal device 13 as the current position of the counselor 12.

On the other hand, when the coping staff 12 is located in any monitoring area or a predetermined standby place and is not moving, the center apparatus 10 reads the position information of these places from the storage unit 52 and reads the read position. The position indicated by the information is displayed as the current position of the coordinator 12.
The monitoring person 11 confirms the current position of the coping person 12 on the current position display screen 20 and selects the coping person 12 to deal with the abnormality in the monitoring area 2. When the monitoring staff 11 performs a handling request operation for requesting the handling of the selected handling staff 12, the center apparatus 10 transmits a handling request signal to the mobile terminal apparatus 13 of the corresponding handling staff 12 in step S11.

The coordinator 12 that has received the coping request starts moving to the monitoring area 2. At this time, the coping member 12 performs a state change operation for inputting a change in the current state on the behavior information input screen 40 of the mobile terminal device 13. In step S12, the mobile terminal device 13 accepts a state change operation. In this example, the coordinator 12 inputs the name “○ bank ○ branch” of the monitoring area 2 in the target facility input field 41 and the state “departure” in the current state input field 42 as shown in FIG.

(Effect of embodiment)
(1) When the state determination unit 37 determines that the coping person 12 is moving, the communication processing unit 38 performs a transmission operation of transmitting the current position information of the mobile terminal device 13 to the center device 10 at a predetermined cycle T1. To do. On the other hand, when it is not determined that the coping person 12 is moving, the communication processing unit 38 does not execute a transmission operation of transmitting the current position information of the mobile terminal device 13 to the center device 10 at a predetermined period T1. In this way, in a situation where the coordinator 12 is not moving and the position of the counselor 12 can be estimated, by reducing the number of communications for transmitting the current position information of the mobile terminal device 13, for example, the mobile terminal device 13 power consumption can be reduced.

  (2) If it is not determined that the coping member 12 is moving, the communication processing unit 38 transmits the current position information at a frequency lower than the predetermined period T1. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the power consumption by reducing the transmission frequency of the current position information compared to the case where the coping person 12 is moving. On the other hand, even if the frequency is low, the center apparatus 10 can confirm that the coping staff 12 is not really moving by transmitting the current position information. For example, when the location of the counselor 12 changes without the current state change operation on the behavior information input screen 40 being performed due to the counseling of the counselor 12 or due to an unexpected reason such as being involved in some case The abnormality of the location of the coping person 12 can be detected.

  (3) If it is not determined that the coping staff 12 is moving, the communication processing unit 38 transmits the current position information when an input operation involving communication with the center device 10 is accepted. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the power consumption by reducing the transmission frequency of the current position information compared to the case where the coping person 12 is moving. Moreover, the center apparatus 10 can confirm that the coping staff 12 is not really moving. Furthermore, by transmitting the current position information together with the communication accompanying the input operation, overhead for transmitting the current position information can be reduced.

  In step S <b> 53, the communication processing unit 55 transmits a position information request signal to the mobile terminal device 13. When the mobile terminal device 13 transmits the current position information in response to the position information request signal, the communication processing unit 55 receives the current position information in step S54. In step S55, the monitoring unit 56 determines that the difference between the position indicated by the current position information transmitted in response to the current position information or the position information request signal transmitted together with the response signal and the position of the monitoring area 2 is within a predetermined range. Determine whether or not.

If the difference between the position indicated by the current position information and the position of the monitoring area 2 is within the predetermined range (step S55: Yes), the process ends. When the difference between the position indicated by the current position information and the position of the monitoring area 2 is not within the predetermined range (step S55: No), the monitoring unit 56 indicates that the location of the coping person 12 is abnormal in step S56.
