Just notify. Further, in order to achieve both the reduction of communication and the management of in-room users at the security center 20, when the number of user IDs indicated in the in-room user data 17a is equal to or less than a predetermined number, The user ID is notified to the security center 20, and when the number of user IDs indicated in the in-room user data 17a exceeds a predetermined number, the security center 20 may not be notified.

  The remote instruction processing unit 18d is a processing unit that causes the mode change unit 18a to change the operation mode when receiving an instruction to change the operation mode from the security center 20. As already described, when changing the operation mode according to an instruction from the security center 20, the mode change unit 18a changes the operation mode without waiting for a predetermined time using the timer 16.

  The authority management unit 18 e is a processing unit that manages the authority to change the operation mode of the security control device 10. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the user ID read by the card reader 13 has been registered in the authority management data 17b. If already registered in the authority management data 17b, as already described, the mode change unit 18a permits the display operation unit 11 to accept an operation mode change operation.

  In addition, the authority management unit 18e registers the user ID notified as the authorized person from the security center 20 in the authorized management data 17b. When restrictions such as time and number of times are set for this user ID, these restrictions are managed together, and when conditions such as time and number of times are satisfied, the user ID is deleted. Thereby, the authority to change the operation mode temporarily can be given to the user ID.

  Next, the processing operation of the security center 20 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the processing operation of the security center 20. As illustrated in FIG. 6, the occupancy state management unit 24c determines whether a notification of the occupancy state is received from the security control device 10 (step S101). When the occupancy status notification is received from the security control device 10 (step S101; Yes), the occupancy status management unit 24c updates the security control device management data 23a with the received notification (step S102).

  After step S102, or when the notification of the occupancy state has not been received from the security control device 10 (step S101; No), the operation mode management unit 24b has received the notification of the operation mode from the security control device 10. Is determined (step S103). When the operation mode notification is received from the security control device 10 (step S103; Yes), the operation mode management unit 24b updates the security control device management data 23a with the received notification (step S104).

  After step S104, or when the notification of the operation mode is not received from the security control device 10 (step S103; No), the alarm reception unit 24a determines whether the notification related to the alarm is received from the security control device 10. Determination is made (step S105). When a notification related to an alarm is received from the security control device 10 (step S105; Yes), the alarm reception unit 24a performs an alarm process (step S106). Specifically, the alarm reception unit 24a associates the notification received from the security control device 10 with the security control device ID of the security control device 10 and adds the notification to the alarm history data 23d. Further, the alarm reception unit 24a dispatches a guard based on the notification received from the security control device 10.

  After step S106, or when notification related to the alarm is not received from the security control device 10 (step S105; No), the operation mode management unit 24b and the occupancy state management unit 24c make an inquiry about the state from the terminal device 30. It is determined whether or not it has been received (step S107).

  When receiving an inquiry from the terminal device 30 (step S107; Yes), the operation mode management unit 24b responds with the operation mode of the security control device 10, and the occupancy state management unit 24c transmits the presence of the security control device 10. The room state is returned (step S108). At this time, the operation mode management unit 24b and the occupancy state management unit 24c respond by performing aggregation as necessary.

  After step S108, the occupancy state management unit 24c determines whether or not the occupancy state of the security control apparatus 10 that has received the inquiry is an empty room (step S109). If the occupancy state is vacant (step S109; Yes), the operation mode management unit 24b determines whether an operation mode change request has been received from the terminal device 30 (step S110). If the operation mode change request is received from the terminal device 30 (step S110; Yes), the operation mode management unit 24b transmits an operation mode change instruction to the security control device 10 (step S111).

  After step S111, when the occupancy state is not vacant (step S109; No), or when the operation mode change request is not received (step S110; No), the authority assigning unit 24f changes the operation mode from the terminal device 30. It is determined whether a request for granting the authority to change has been received (step S112). If a request for granting authority is received (step S112; Yes), the authority granting unit 24f performs authorization processing (step S113). Specifically, the authority grant unit 24f notifies the security control apparatus 10 of the user ID specified by the user who is operating the terminal device 30 as the authority.

  After step S113, if the request for granting authority has not been received (step S112; No), or if no inquiry has been received from the terminal device 30 (step S107; No), the condition processing unit 24e stores the condition processing data 23c. It is referred to and it is determined whether any of the conditions is satisfied (step S114). As a result, if any condition is satisfied (step S114; Yes), the condition processing unit 24e executes control corresponding to the satisfied condition (step S115). After the end of step S115, or when neither condition is satisfied (step S114; No), the security center 20 ends the process. And after completion | finish of a process, the security center 20 starts a process again from step S101.

  Next, the processing operation in the non-security mode of the security control device 10 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the processing operation in the non-security mode of the security control device 10.

  First, the occupancy state management unit 18c determines whether or not a change has occurred in the occupancy state due to the user entering or leaving the room (step S201). If a change occurs in the occupancy state (step S201; Yes), the occupancy state management unit 18c transmits the occupancy state to the security center 20 according to the change in the occupancy state (step S202).

  After step S202 or when there is no change in the occupancy state (step S201; No), the authority management unit 18e determines whether the user ID is notified from the security center 20 as the authority (step S203). . When the user ID is notified as an authorized person from the security center 20 (step S203; Yes), the authority managing unit 18e registers the notified user ID in the authority managing data 17b and updates the authority managing data 17b. (Step S204).

  After step S204, or when the authority has not been notified from the security center 20 (step S203; No), the mode change unit 18a determines whether or not the display operation unit 11 has accepted an operation for setting the security mode. (Step S205).

  If an operation for setting the security mode is accepted by the display operation unit 11 (step S205; Yes), the authority management unit 18e determines whether the user ID read by the card reader 13 has been registered in the authority management data 17b. User authority is authenticated (step S207). If the authorization authentication is successful (step S207; Yes), the mode changing unit 18a starts the time measurement by the timer 16 and waits for a predetermined time (step S208). After waiting for a predetermined time, the mode change unit 18a sets the operation mode to the security mode (step S209), notifies the security center 20 (step S210), and ends the process. After the end of this process, the security control device 10 operates in the security mode.

  When the operation for setting the security mode is not accepted by the display operation unit 11 (step S205; No), or when the authentication of the authority has failed (step S207; No), the remote instruction processing unit 18d is guarded from the security center 20. It is determined whether or not a mode setting instruction has been received (step S206).

  If the instruction to set the security mode is received from the security center 20 (step S206; Yes), the mode changing unit 18a sets the operation mode to the security mode (step S209) and notifies the security center 20 (step S210). ), The process is terminated. After the end of this process, the security control device 10 operates in the security mode.

  If an instruction to set the security mode is not received from the security center 20 (step S206; No), the process ends as it is. After the end of this process, the security control device 10 starts the process again from step S201.

  Next, the processing operation in the security mode of the security control device 10 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the processing operation in the security mode of the security control device 10.

  First, the alarm processing unit 18b determines whether or not the sensor 14 has detected an abnormality such as opening / closing of a door or the like or vibration with respect to a window (step S301). If the sensor 14 detects an abnormality (step S301; Yes), the alarm processing unit 18b performs an alarm operation (step S302). This alarm operation includes output of a warning sound by the speaker 12 and notification to the security center 20 by the communication unit 15.

  After step S302 or if the sensor 14 has not detected an abnormality (step S301; No), the authority management unit 18e determines whether or not a user ID is notified from the security center 20 as an authority (step). S303). When the user ID is notified as an authorized person from the security center 20 (step S303; Yes), the authority managing unit 18e registers the notified user ID in the authority managing data 17b and updates the authority managing data 17b. (Step S304).

  After step S304, or when the authority has not been notified from the security center 20 (step S303; No), the mode change unit 18a determines whether or not the display operation unit 11 has accepted an operation for canceling the security mode. (Step S305).

  If the operation for canceling the security mode is received by the display operation unit 11 (step S305; Yes), the authority management unit 18e determines whether the user ID read by the card reader 13 has been registered in the authority management data 17b. User authority is authenticated (step S307). If the authorization authentication is successful (step S307; Yes), the mode changing unit 18a cancels the security mode, changes the operation mode to the non-security mode (step S308), and notifies the security center 20 (step). S309), the process ends. After the end of this process, the security control device 10 operates in the non-security mode.

  When the operation for canceling the security mode is not received by the display operation unit 11 (step S305; No), or when the authentication of the authority has failed (step S307; No), the remote instruction processing unit 18d is guarded from the security center 20. It is determined whether or not a mode release instruction has been received (step S306).

  If an instruction to cancel the security mode is received from the security center 20 (step S306; Yes), the mode changing unit 18a cancels the security mode and changes the operation mode to the non-security mode (step S308). (Step S309), and the process ends. After the end of this process, the security control device 10 operates in the non-security mode.

  If an instruction to cancel the security mode has not been received from the security center 20 (step S306; No), the process ends as it is. After the end of this process, the security control device 10 starts the process again from step S301.

  As described above, in the security system according to this embodiment, when the security center 20 manages the status of the security control device 10 and checks the status of the security control device 10 from the terminal device 30, the security control device 10. It is possible to make a response without performing communication with. And when changing the operation mode of the security control apparatus 10 by remote operation from the terminal device 30, it is guarded after confirming that the operation mode can be changed according to the state of the security control apparatus 10 managed by the security center 20. Since the operation mode change instruction is transmitted to the control device 10, unnecessary communication with the security control device 10 does not occur if the operation mode cannot be changed. From these things, communication load and processing load of security control device 10 and security center 20 can be reduced, and operation can be controlled efficiently.

  In addition, since the security center 20 collectively manages the information of the plurality of security control devices 10 and can provide the information to the terminal device 30, the terminal device 30 needs to communicate with the plurality of security control devices 10 individually. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the communication load and the processing load and perform efficient control.

  In the above embodiment, entry / exit management is performed by the card reader 13, but when a system for managing user attendance / exit is used in an office, for example, the attendance / exit information is acquired from the system. It may be used as a occupancy state. In addition, using the information on attendance and leaving work, a notification is given when all users have been away from work but are in unguarded mode, or when nobody is going to work but are in unguarded mode It is good as well.

  Further, when the security mode cannot be set by remote operation because the user is in the room, the user information can be appropriately notified, such as notifying the user who finally entered or exited the facility.

  In addition, for the operation mode change request from the terminal device 30, the operation mode and the occupancy state of the target security control device 10 are determined in advance, and the operation mode change request is accepted only when the change is possible. The button 30 may be configured to display control the terminal device 30. In addition, a button for accepting an operation mode change request can always be displayed. When an operation to the button is accepted, the operation mode and occupancy state of the target security control device 10 are determined, and can the change be executed? Whether or not the terminal device 30 may perform display control.
