It is related with the disaster prevention alarm system which reports in cooperation.

  Conventionally, disaster warning systems using TV broadcasting, FM broadcasting, and AM broadcasting include emergency warning broadcasting that occurs when a large-scale disaster such as an earthquake occurs or when a tsunami warning is announced. There is an earthquake early warning that announces the prediction for the area where strong shaking is expected before the shaking reaches when the earthquake occurs.

  Emergency warning broadcasts are broadcast via TV, FM and AM broadcasts when a Tokai earthquake warning declaration is issued, when a tsunami warning is announced, or when an evacuation instruction is issued by the governor or the head of the local government. An emergency warning signal is transmitted from the broadcasting station, the receiver is automatically turned on, and the emergency warning broadcast is reproduced and output.

  In addition, the earthquake early warning will be announced with an estimated maximum seismic intensity of less than 5, and an earthquake early warning signal will be transmitted from the broadcast station via TV, FM and AM broadcasts, and there will be earthquake motion in areas where strong shaking is expected. Warning.

  Disaster prevention alarm devices corresponding to such emergency warning broadcasts and emergency earthquake warnings have been put into practical use and are widely used as dedicated receivers.

  The disaster prevention alarm device that supports the earthquake early warning is in the standby state after selecting a specific FM radio broadcast. After the earthquake early warning has played the specified chime twice, it is “emergency earthquake broadcast. “Please be wary of shaking”, for example, the automatic chime sound is analyzed twice, the first chime sound is analyzed to detect the earthquake early warning signal, the broadcast playback operation is started, and the automatic sound following the chime sound is sent from the speaker. Outputs at the set volume to notify the occurrence of an earthquake.

  Further, in the case of an emergency warning broadcast of an analog broadcast, the disaster prevention alarm device corresponding to the emergency warning broadcast detects an FSK signal that is an electronic sound (piropiro sound) in the audible range that is sent first as a start signal. At the same time, a broadcast playback operation is started to receive and play back emergency warning broadcasts such as tsunami warnings.

  Also, alarm devices that detect and warn of fires in homes and the like are widespread. Of these, residential fire alarms are referred to as residential alarms. For example, in such a house alarm, it is operated by a battery power source, and a sensor part for detecting a fire and an alarm part for alarming a fire are integrated in the house alarm, and a fire is generated based on a detection signal of the sensor part. When a fire alarm is detected, a fire alarm sound of a predetermined pattern is output from the alarm unit, and a fire monitor and alarm notification can be performed by a single residential alarm without the need for a receiver or the like as in the so-called automatic fire alarm equipment. It is simple and inexpensive, and it has become widespread with the obligatory installation in ordinary houses.

  In addition, wireless communication is performed between multiple residential alarms. When a fire is detected by any residential alarm and a fire alarm sound is output, the wireless alarm communicates with other residential alarms. Wireless interlocking home alarms that output sound have also been put into practical use and are widely used.

Furthermore, cleaning robots that perform cleaning in homes and the like by independent running have been put into practical use, and their spread has begun. Such a cleaning robot has input / output devices such as a camera, a microphone, and a speaker in addition to a cleaning function based on independent running, and the wireless LAN communication function allows each input / output device to be connected to the Internet via the wireless LAN communication function.
