  Hereinafter, an emergency broadcast setting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows an emergency broadcast setting device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows an emergency broadcast device in which an emergency broadcast operation is set by the emergency broadcast setting device. In the following, the emergency broadcast device of FIG. 2 will be described first, and then the emergency broadcast setting device of FIG. 1 will be described.

  In FIG. 2, the emergency broadcast apparatus 100 includes a main body apparatus 102, which is provided with various switches and lamps for operation, and also includes a broadcasting microphone. The main unit 102 is connected to speakers 104 arranged on each floor of the building where the emergency broadcast device 100 is installed.

  Each floor of the building is provided with a sensor 106 and a transmitter 108. The sensor 106 and the transmitter 108 are connected to the receiver 110, and the receiver 110 is connected to the main body 102. The sensor 106 is activated when a fire is detected, and sends a signal indicating the fire detection to the receiver 110. Then, a signal indicating the sensor 106 that has detected a fire is transmitted from the receiver 110 to the main device 102. Further, the transmitter 108 is operated by an administrator or the like. An operation signal of the transmitter 108 is also received by the receiver 110, and a signal indicating the operated transmitter 108 is transmitted from the receiver 110 to the main body device 102.

  In FIG. 2, a speaker 104 on the first floor, a sensor 106 and a transmitter 108 are shown, and a speaker 104 on the second floor is shown. However, the speaker 104, the sensor 106, and the transmitter 108 are provided on each floor of the building.

  In addition, although the transmitter 108 is shown in FIG. 2, an emergency call may be provided on each floor in the same manner as the transmitter 108 and connected to the receiver 110. Both a transmitter and an emergency call may be provided.

  Next, an emergency broadcast operation by the emergency broadcast apparatus 100 will be described. The emergency broadcast device 100 performs three types of broadcasts, such as sensor activation broadcast, transmitter / emergency telephone activation broadcast, and manual activation broadcast. The sensor activation broadcast is activated in response to the operation of the sensor 104. The transmitter / emergency telephone activation broadcast is activated in response to an instruction from at least one of the transmitter and the emergency telephone. The manual activation broadcast is activated in response to the operation of the manual activation operator. The manual activation operator is an emergency activation switch provided in the main body device 102. 3 to 5 show the operations of the sensor activation broadcast, the transmitter / emergency telephone activation broadcast, and the manual activation broadcast, respectively. Prior to the description of FIGS. 3 to 5, terms relating to emergency broadcasting will be described.

  First, the alert broadcast is a broadcast that sends a message that tells the sensor operation, and the fire broadcast is a broadcast that sends a message that tells the occurrence of a fire. A simultaneous fire broadcast is a broadcast that conveys the occurrence of a fire to the entire broadcast target. Non-fire broadcasting is broadcasting that sends a message that no fire has occurred.

  In addition, linked simultaneous refers to a state in which an emergency broadcast can be performed automatically throughout the entire building in conjunction with a fire detector. Interlocking refers to a state in which an emergency broadcast can be automatically performed on the fire floor and the interlocking floor when the fire detector is activated in conjunction with the fire detector. The fire floor refers to the floor where the area where the fire broke out, and the interlocking floor is an area that broadcasts in conjunction with the fire floor. The floor above the fire floor is always set as the interlocking floor.

  Also, the alarm-linked stop means a state in which a fire sound signal is emitted from the speaker of the main body device without broadcasting an alarm when the fire detector operates. The fire sound signal is a buzzer sounding from the monitor speaker of the main unit when the alarm linkage is stopped.

  The first report refers to the signal output from the fire alarm facility first, and the next signal is referred to as the second report. The floor signal is a signal output from the fire alarm facility to indicate that the fire detector has detected a fire. The fire confirmation signal is a signal output from the fire alarm facility after a fire is confirmed.

  The first timer (fire broadcast transition timer) is a timer that measures the lapse of transition time until the transition to fire broadcast after receiving the floor signal, and the transition time is set in advance. The transition time is, for example, 2 to 5 minutes. The automatic transition to fire broadcasting after the transition time has passed is called the first timer time-up.

  In addition, the second timer (fire broadcast broadcast timer) measures the passage of transition time from the start of the fire broadcast on the fire floor and the interlocking floor until the transition to the simultaneous fire broadcast to the entire building automatically. This is a timer, and this transition time is also set in advance. This transition time is approximately a few minutes. The transition to the simultaneous fire broadcast after the transition time has elapsed is called the second timer time-up. When the second timer is 0 minutes, the process immediately shifts to the simultaneous fire broadcast. When the second timer is off, the process does not shift to the simultaneous fire broadcast.

  In addition, manual interlocking means that when the broadcast floor selection switch of the main device is pushed by manual emergency start, the broadcast is automatically output together with the interlocking floor in addition to the broadcast floor. Individual manual means that the broadcast is output only to the broadcast floor selected by the broadcast floor selection switch.

  FIG. 3 shows the operation of the sensor activation broadcast. The sensor activation broadcast is performed when a floor signal is input from the sensor as the first report. In the sensor activation broadcast, first, a notification broadcast or a fire sound signal is sounded (S200). In the case of fire sound signal sounding, alarm broadcasting is not performed, and a buzzer sound is emitted from the monitor speaker of the main unit. Whether the alarm broadcast or the fire sound signal is sounded depends on the internal setting.

  If the conditions for transition to fire broadcasting are satisfied after the start of alarm broadcasting or fire sound signal ringing (S202), fire broadcasting is output (S204). As shown in the figure, the transition conditions are as follows: when the emergency start switch of the main unit is pressed, when the fire broadcast switch is pressed, when the fire confirmation signal is sent from the transmitter, the fire confirmation signal is sent from the emergency telephone. This is established when a floor signal is sent from the second sensor, a fire confirmation signal is sent from the second sensor, or when the first timer expires. If any one of the above is true, the fire broadcast starts.

  When the second timer reaches time-up after the start of fire broadcasting (S206), simultaneous fire broadcasting is performed (S208). However, simultaneous fire broadcasting is not performed when the second timer is off.

  When the non-fire broadcast switch of the main unit is pressed during the output of the alarm broadcast, fire sound signal sound, fire broadcast or simultaneous fire broadcast (S210), the non-fire broadcast is output (S212).

  The transmitter / emergency telephone activation broadcast of FIG. 4 is performed when the first signal is input from the transmitter or the emergency telephone. In the transmitter / emergency telephone activation broadcasting, there are cases where the alarm broadcasting is performed or not depending on the internal setting. In the former case, a notification broadcast is performed (S220), and when a condition for shifting to a fire broadcast is established (S222), a fire broadcast is output (S224). As shown in the figure, the transition conditions are as follows: when the emergency start switch of the main unit is pressed, when the fire broadcast switch is pressed, when a floor signal is sent from the sensor, or when the alarm broadcast is finished Sometimes true. When not broadcasting, the fire broadcast is output from the beginning.

  After the start of the fire broadcast, when the second timer is up (S226), the simultaneous fire broadcast is performed (S228), as in the case of the sensor activation broadcast. However, simultaneous fire broadcasting is not performed when the second timer is off. Further, when the non-fire broadcast switch of the main unit is pressed during the output of the alarm broadcast, the fire broadcast or the simultaneous fire broadcast (S230), the non-fire broadcast is output (S232).

  The manual activation broadcast in FIG. 5 is performed when the emergency activation switch is pressed. Even manually activated broadcasts may or may not be issued depending on internal settings. In the former case, when the emergency start switch and the broadcast floor selection switch are pressed, the alarm broadcast is performed (S240), and when the condition for transition to the fire broadcast is satisfied (S242), the fire broadcast is output (S244). As shown in the figure, the transition conditions are as follows: when the emergency start switch of the main unit is pressed, when the fire broadcast switch is pressed, when the floor signal and the fire confirmation signal are sent from the transmitter, It is established when another signal and a fire confirmation signal are sent, when a floor signal is sent from the sensor, or when the first timer expires.

  After the start of the fire broadcast, when the second timer is up (S246), the simultaneous fire broadcast is performed (S248), as in the case of the sensor activation broadcast. However, simultaneous fire broadcasting is not performed when the second timer is off. Further, when the non-fire broadcast switch of the main unit is pressed during the output of the alarm broadcast, fire broadcast or simultaneous fire broadcast (S250), the non-fire broadcast is output (S252).

  The appropriate example of the emergency broadcast apparatus 100 has been described above. Next, the emergency broadcast setting device 1 for setting the operation of the emergency broadcast device 100 will be described.

  FIG. 6 shows an input image of setting data displayed on the display unit 16. The input image of FIG. 6 is displayed on the display unit 16 by the control processing unit 12. Then, the setting data input unit 10 is operated to write data in various places of the input image, and the written data is sent from the setting data input unit 10 to the control processing unit 12, thereby inputting the setting data.

  In FIG. 6, a voice alert input page is displayed. In addition, a plurality of input pages are displayed. When the tab of each input page is selected, the corresponding page is displayed. Specifically, the device configuration, fire / interlock floor, speaker line, priority, voice input, external control output, other functions, names of each part, and user information input page are displayed according to the switching operation. Among these, the voice alarm input page shown in FIG. 6 is a page for inputting setting data for defining the operation of emergency broadcasting. In the following explanation, the voice alarm input page of FIG. 6 is targeted. The setting data input will be described.

  In FIG. 6, first, in the upper left part, input fields for alarm broadcast setting, fire broadcast setting, and simultaneous fire broadcast setting are provided.

  The repeat interval is input for the notification broadcast setting. The repetition interval can be set to “none” or an appropriate time. If the repeat interval is “none”, the broadcast is repeated without leaving the interval. When the repeat interval is set to an appropriate time (seconds), the broadcast is repeated at the set interval. In addition, the number of repetitions is input for the notification broadcast. The number of repetitions can be set to “infinite times” and an appropriate number of times. When “infinite times” is set, the alarm broadcasting continues repeatedly. When an appropriate number of times is set, the alarm broadcast is repeated for the set number of times.

  For the fire broadcast setting, the transition time of the first timer is input. The transition time of the first timer is the time from the start of notification broadcasting to the transition to fire broadcasting.

  In addition, regarding simultaneous fire broadcast setting, presence / absence of broadcast designation is input, and further, the transition time of the second timer is input. The presence / absence of broadcast designation indicates whether simultaneous fire broadcasting is performed. If the broadcast designation is “present”, the second timer is enabled and a simultaneous fire broadcast is performed. If the broadcast designation is “none”, the second timer is disabled and no simultaneous fire broadcast is performed. The transition time of the second timer is the time from the start of fire broadcasting to the transition to simultaneous fire broadcasting.

  Next, in the upper half of the right side of FIG. 6, there is an input field for language designation setting, below which an input field for transmitter / manual activation setting, alarm linkage setting, sensor linkage setting and manual linkage setting Is provided.

  In the language designation setting field, data on the presence or absence of English is input. If “No” is set, the broadcast is output in Japanese, and if “Yes” is set, the broadcast is output in Japanese and English. Further, in the language designation setting, data on the presence / absence of the second foreign language is input. If “None” is set, the broadcast is output only in Japanese or in Japanese + English according to the above-described setting of presence / absence of English. If “Yes” is set, the broadcast is output in Japanese + English + second foreign language.

  In the field of the transmitter / manual activation setting, data indicating whether there is an alarm broadcast in the transmitter / emergency telephone activation broadcast and the manual activation broadcast (whether the alarm broadcast or the fire broadcast is performed) is input. As shown in the figure, when “notification” is set, a notification broadcast is performed, and then a fire broadcast is performed. If “fire” is set instead of “notification”, the alert broadcast is not performed and the fire broadcast is output first.

  In the column of the alarm linkage setting, whether the alarm broadcasting is performed in conjunction with the operation of the sensor in the sensor activation broadcasting or the synchronization is stopped is input. When “Synchronization” is set as the alarm linkage, the alarm broadcast is automatically output when the sensor is activated. On the other hand, when “stop” is set, the alarm broadcast is not output and the fire sound signal is sounded, that is, the fire sound signal is output from the monitor speaker of the main body device 102 of the fire broadcast device 100.

  Data on whether to perform linked broadcasting on the fire floor and the linked floor in response to the operation of the sensor, or to perform linked simultaneous broadcast that is not limited to the linked object, is input to the sensor linked setting column. When “linked” is set, the broadcast area is linked and broadcasts are output on the fire floor and the linked floor.

  In addition, operation buttons for “operation flow” are displayed next to “read” and “save” operation buttons. When the “operation flow” button is operated, the operation flow image generation unit 18 generates an operation flow image based on the input setting data. The operation flow image represents the operation of the emergency broadcast apparatus corresponding to the setting data. The operation flow image is displayed on the display unit 16 by the control processing unit 12.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of an operation flow image. The operation flow image of FIG. 7 corresponds to the setting data represented in the input image of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the motion flow image is composed of three individual motion flow images. The three individual operation flow images are flows of a sensor activation broadcast, a transmitter / emergency telephone activation broadcast, and a manual activation broadcast. These three motion flow images are drawn in different areas, and more specifically, are arranged in the horizontal direction.

  First, the individual operation flow image of the sensor activation broadcast is an image of a flow from the notification broadcast by the sensor activation to the fire broadcast and the simultaneous fire broadcast to the non-fire broadcast. Announcement broadcast, fire broadcast, simultaneous fire broadcast, and non-fire broadcast are each surrounded by a square frame, arranged in order from top to bottom, and these squares are connected by lines. Between the alarm broadcast and the fire broadcast, the transition conditions to the fire broadcast are still displayed using a square frame. The information of the second timer, which is a transition condition to the simultaneous fire broadcast, is also displayed between the fire broadcast and the simultaneous fire broadcast. In addition, before the non-fire broadcast, a transition condition to the non-fire broadcast (specifically, manual activation of the non-fire broadcast switch) is displayed.

  The setting data of FIG. 6 is reflected in the individual operation flow image of the sensor activation broadcast of FIG. 7 as follows.

  First, since the notification linkage setting in FIG. 6 is “linked”, “notification broadcast” is displayed at the top in FIG. 7, and further, the content of “notification broadcast” is the repetition interval of the notification broadcast setting. And the number of repetitions is displayed. Further, since the sensor interlocking setting in FIG. 6 is “interlocking”, “notification interlocking” is displayed in the upper right part (specifically, the upper right corner part) of the individual operation flow image. Furthermore, since the sensor interlocking setting in FIG. 6 is “interlocking”, “interlocking” is displayed under the above “notification interlocking”.

  Also, the first timer transition time (5 minutes) of the fire broadcast setting in FIG. 6 is displayed as the transition condition to the fire broadcast. Further, since the broadcast designation is “Yes” in the simultaneous fire broadcast setting in FIG. 6, a frame of “broad fire broadcast” is arranged after “fire broadcast”. The second timer transition time (5 minutes) is displayed as a condition for transition to simultaneous fire broadcasting.

  Next, the individual operation flow image of the transmitter / emergency telephone activation broadcast is almost the same as the individual operation flow image of the detector activation broadcast, and the flow from the notification broadcast to the non-fire broadcast through the fire broadcast and the simultaneous fire broadcast. It is an image. The setting data of FIG. 6 is reflected in the individual operation flow image of the transmitter / emergency telephone activation broadcast of FIG. 7 as follows.

  First, since the transmitter / manual activation setting in FIG. 6 is “alert”, “alert broadcast” is displayed at the top in FIG. 7, and the alert broadcast setting is set as the content of “alert broadcast”. The repetition interval and the number of repetitions are displayed, and “alert” is displayed in the upper right part of the individual operation flow image. In addition, since the sensor interlocking in FIG. 6 is “interlocking”, “interlocking” is displayed under the above “notification”. The display from the fire broadcast to the bottom non-fire broadcast is the same as the individual operation flow image of the sensor activation. Here, the data of the simultaneous fire broadcast and the second timer reflect the data of the simultaneous fire broadcast.

  If the transmitter / manual start-up setting is “Fire”, as shown later, the display related to “Broadcasting” at the top is erased, and “Fire” is displayed in the upper right corner instead of “Bulletin”. Is displayed.

  Next, the individual operation flow image of the manual activation broadcast is almost the same as the above two individual operation flow images, and is an image of a flow from the notification broadcast to the fire broadcast and the simultaneous fire broadcast to the non-fire broadcast. The setting data of FIG. 6 is reflected in the individual operation flow image of the manually activated broadcast of FIG. 7 as follows.

  First, as with the transmitter / emergency telephone activation broadcast, the transmitter / manual activation setting in FIG. 6 is “alert”, so in FIG. 7, “alarm broadcast” is displayed at the top, As the contents of “Broadcast”, the repetition interval and the number of repetitions of the broadcast broadcast setting are displayed, and “Bulletin” is displayed in the upper right part of the individual operation flow image. Furthermore, since the sensor interlocking in FIG. 6 is “interlocking”, “interlocking” is displayed under the above “notification”.

  Further, since the manual interlock setting in FIG. 6 is “interlock”, “manual interlock” is displayed under “interlock” in the upper right part. Furthermore, the first timer transition time of the fire broadcast setting in FIG. 6 is displayed in the transition condition to the fire broadcast. The display from the fire broadcast to the bottom non-fire broadcast is the same as the other two individual operation flow images.

  Similarly to the transmitter / emergency phone activation, if the transmitter / manual activation setting is “Fire”, as shown later, there will be no display related to “Broadcast” at the top, and in the upper right corner “Fire” is displayed instead of “Notification”.

  The three individual operation flow images in FIG. 7 have been described above. Referring to FIG. 7, in the motion flow image, in addition to these individual motion flow images, a language is displayed above. The language indicates the contents of the language designation setting shown in FIG. On the right side of the language display, operation buttons “Save Screen” and “Screen Print” are displayed. When the “screen save” button is operated, the operation flow image is saved in the setting data storage unit 14. When the “screen print” button is operated, an operation flow image is printed from the printer.

  Next, processing of the operation flow image generation unit 18 for generating the above-described operation flow image will be described with reference to FIGS. As the entire generation process of the operation flow image, the display position of each part in FIG. 7 and the characters to be displayed in each part are determined in advance, and information on these display positions and display characters is stored in the emergency broadcast setting device 1. It is stored in the storage unit. Then, the information of the display position and the display character is read by the operation flow image generation unit 18, and the operation flow image of FIG. 7 is generated according to the read information.

  In the operation flow image, there is a portion (herein referred to as a display change portion) that should change according to the setting data. As the display change portion, there are a portion where the presence / absence of display is changed, a portion where the display position is changed, and a portion where display contents, particularly display characters are changed. For these display change portions, the setting data read from the setting data storage unit 14 is referred to, and an image is generated to reflect the setting data.

  FIGS. 8 to 10 show processing for generating individual operation flow images of the sensor activation broadcast, the transmitter / emergency telephone activation broadcast and the manual activation broadcast. is there. Note that the overall image generation is not shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 because it is performed according to the information of the preset display position and display characters as described above.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the generation of the individual operation flow image of the sensor activation broadcast, it is determined whether the alarm linkage setting is “linked” or “stop” (S10). If the notification linkage setting is “linked”, the display of “notification broadcast” is arranged, and the repetition interval and the number of repetitions of the notification broadcast setting are drawn as the contents of “notification broadcast” (S12). In the upper right part, a display of “reporting link” is arranged (S14). If the alarm linkage setting is “stop” in step S10, the display of “fire signal ringing” is arranged instead of “alarm broadcast” (S16), and “report stop” is displayed in the upper right part. The display is arranged (S18).

  After step S14 or S18, the fire broadcast setting is referred to, and the numerical value of the first timer transition time is drawn in the transition condition portion to the fire broadcast (S20).

In addition, a display of “alert” is arranged in the upper right part (S44). If the transmitter / manual activation setting is “fire” in step S40, the “notification broadcast” frame is deleted and not placed (S46). In this case, all the images related to the “broadcasting notification broadcast” are not displayed, and the transition condition from the notification broadcasting to the fire broadcasting is also hidden. In the upper right portion, “fire” is displayed instead of “report” (S48).

  In FIG. 9, the processing of steps S50 to S54 is performed in relation to the sensor interlocking setting. Further, steps S56 to S64 are performed for simultaneous fire broadcast setting. Steps S50 to S54 are the same as the corresponding steps S22 to S26 in FIG. 8, and steps S56 to S64 are the same as the corresponding steps S28 to S36 in FIG. .

  Next, FIG. 10 shows generation of an individual operation flow image of manual activation broadcast. In FIG. 10, it is determined whether the transmitter / manual activation setting is “alert” or “fire” (S70). If the transmitter / manual activation setting is “notification”, the display of “notification broadcast” is arranged, and the repetition interval and the number of repetitions of the notification broadcast setting are drawn as the contents of “notification broadcast” (S72). In addition, the display of “report” is arranged in the upper right part (S74). Further, the fire broadcast setting is referred to, and the numerical value of the first timer transition time is drawn in the condition for transition to the fire broadcast (S76). If the transmitter / manual activation setting is “fire” in step S70, the “notification broadcast” frame is deleted and not placed (S78), and “fire” is displayed instead of “alarm” in the upper right part. Is displayed (S80).

Further, in the setting data of FIG. 6, since the broadcast designation of the simultaneous fire broadcast is “Yes”, the determination result of S28 becomes “Yes”, the transition time of the second timer is drawn in Step S30, and Step S32 The “simultaneous fire broadcasting” frame is placed at the relevant location. As described above, the individual operation flow image of the sensor activation broadcast of FIG. 7 is drawn.

  Next, for the individual operation flow image of the transmitter / emergency telephone activation broadcast, the transmitter / manual activation setting is “alert” in the setting data of FIG. 6, so the determination result in step S40 of FIG. In step S42, the display of “broadcasting” is arranged, the repetition interval and the number of repetitions of “broadcasting” are drawn, and in step S44, the display of “broadcasting” is arranged in the upper right part. . Regarding the sensor interlocking setting and the simultaneous fire broadcast setting, the same processing as the flow image generation of the sensor activation broadcast is performed as described above, and therefore the same image is drawn in FIG.

  Next, for the individual operation flow image of the manual activation broadcast, since the transmitter / manual activation setting is “alert” in the setting data of FIG. 6, the determination result of step S70 becomes “alarm”, and step S72. The “Broadcasting” display is arranged, the repeat interval and the number of repetitions of “Broadcasting” are drawn, and the “Bulletin” display is arranged in the upper right part in Step S74. Further, the transition time of the first timer is drawn in step S76. Further, since the manual linkage is “linked” in the setting data of FIG. 6, the determination result in step S88 is “linked”, and “manual linkage” is displayed in the upper right part in step S90. In addition, regarding the sensor interlocking setting and the simultaneous fire broadcasting setting, the same processing as the flow image generation of the sensor activation broadcasting is performed as described above, and therefore the same image is drawn in FIG. Yes.

  11 and 12 show another specific example of the setting data and the operation flow image. Unlike the setting data in FIG. 6 described above, in the setting data in FIG. 11, the transmitter / manual activation setting is “fire”. Due to this difference, the determination result in step 40 in FIG. 9 is “fire”, and the processing in steps S46 and S48 is performed. Also, the determination result in step S70 in FIG. 10 is “fire”, and the processes in steps S78 and S80 are performed. As a result, unlike FIG. 7, in FIG. 12, in the flow images of the transmitter / emergency start broadcast and the manual start broadcast, the “report broadcast” frame is deleted and not arranged. All the images related to “broadcasting” are hidden, and the conditions for transition from bulletin broadcasting to fire broadcasting are also hidden. In the upper right part, “fire” is displayed instead of “report”.

  Further, in the setting data of FIG. 11, unlike the setting data of FIG. 6, the alert linkage setting is “stop”. Due to this difference, the determination result in step S10 in FIG. 8 is “stopped”, and the processes in steps S16 and S18 are performed. As a result, unlike FIG. 7, in FIG. 12, the display of “fire signal ringing” is arranged in the flow image of the sensor activation broadcast, and the display of “stop alerting” is arranged in the upper right part. .

  13 and 14 show still another specific example of the setting data and the operation flow image. In the setting data of FIG. 13, unlike the setting data of FIG. 6, the broadcast designation of the simultaneous fire broadcasting setting is “none”. Due to this difference, the determination result in step S28 of FIG. 8 is “None”, and the processes in steps S34 and S36 are performed. As a result, unlike FIG. 7, in FIG. 14, “off” is drawn in the transition time of the second timer in the flow image of the sensor activation broadcast, and the frame of “simultaneous fire broadcast” is also deleted and arranged. Absent. Flow images of transmitter / emergency telephone activation broadcast and manual activation broadcast are generated in the same manner.

  Also, in the setting data of FIG. 13, unlike the setting data of FIG. 6, the sensor interlocking setting is “synchronized all together”. Due to this difference, the determination result in step S22 of FIG. 8 is “synchronized all together”, and the process of step S26 is performed. As a result, unlike FIG. 7, in FIG. 14, in the flow image of the sensor activation broadcast, a display of “linked simultaneous” is arranged at the corresponding position in the upper right part. In this part, the flow images of the transmitter / emergency telephone activation broadcast and the manual activation broadcast are processed in the same manner.

  Furthermore, in the setting data of FIG. 13, unlike the setting data of FIG. 6, the manual interlock setting is “individual”. Due to this difference, the determination result in step S88 in FIG. 10 is “individual”, and the process in step S92 is performed. As a result, unlike FIG. 7, in FIG. 14, “manual individual” is displayed at the corresponding position in the upper right part in the flow image of the manually activated broadcast.
