Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate the consideration of unnecessary monitor, etc., by automatically switching the setting of a monitoring function inside a portable terminal according to the change of environment in which a carrying person exists. SOLUTION: A person carries the portable terminal, the monitoring state is started at a point of time when a job is started, and the action of the carrying person is monitored while checking whether a magnetic signal is detected by a magnetic sensor 8 or not. The magnetic sensor 8 detects and discriminates the magnetic signal and in accordance with that operation, the setting of the monitoring function is switched. At the time of executing ordinary monitor, when the terminal is inclined to the ground less than 25 deg., when the operation is stopped or when a button switch 1 is depressed, the transmission of an alarm signal is announced in advance by a vibrator 4 and unless the alarm is canceled by a reset switch 3, a CPU 5 outputs the transmitting instruction of the alarm signal to a radio transmission circuit 6 and transmits the alarm signal to a monitoring center.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an emergency notification system in a specific area where a safety operation is required in a factory, a construction site, a warehouse or the like where an independent operation occurs.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art
Monitoring by the mobile device's motion detection sensor was started at the start of the work and continued until the end of the work, so even if there were other people around the meeting or break, the movement of the carrier stopped. If the state continues, there is annoyance that the notice is notified even though there is no abnormality.

However, the power is turned ON / OFF for a meeting or a break.
If an operation mode in which the power is turned off is adopted, when the user returns to the specific area again, the power may be forgotten to be turned on. Therefore, it is dangerous to turn off the power except at the end of work as a system for ensuring safety. For this reason, the power supply is always kept ON, and when the notification is notified, the reset switch must be pressed to cancel the notification.

[0004] Such a system that constantly monitors the operation of the wearer and assists in the safety management is such that not only is there little actual notification, but also the interest of the wearer is low, and the troublesomeness is likely to be first. it is conceivable that. Considering that point, even if it is a place where monitoring is unnecessary as in the past, things that continue to be monitored will cause discomfort to the carrier and will hinder the penetration of such a safety management system. I can say.

Hitherto, systems for installing a sensor on a door or a tray through which a person enters and exits, thereby detecting "moving objects" and managing the safety of the person have been disclosed in, for example, JP-A-3-212797 and JP-A-Hei. 4-223597, JP-A-4-182530 and JP-A-61-44386. However, in these systems, a sensor for capturing an operation is fixed to an entrance or the like, and the monitoring range is very limited only at the place where the sensor is installed. Also, when trying to make a report on his / her own will, it is quite possible that the switch for reporting is not at hand and it is too late.

In addition, since the time count for judging an abnormality is based on a person's rhythm of life, it is highly likely that a discovery will be made several hours after the occurrence of the abnormality. The problem is that the function for canceling the notification is lacking despite the possibility of erroneous operation being high because of being fixed.

[0007] It is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile terminal for notifying a monitoring sensor of the occurrence of an emergency, together with a magnetic signal transmitting device at the entrance of an area having a different environment, and to use the magnetic signal transmitting device together. If you are in a place that does not require monitoring, etc., stop monitoring, and resume monitoring when you exit from it, automatically switch the mode setting of the monitoring function in the mobile terminal according to environmental changes, unnecessary monitoring It is an object of the present invention to provide an emergency call system capable of eliminating troublesomeness such as consideration of the situation.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An emergency call system according to the present invention is provided at a doorway of a specific area, which is a place where safety management is required. A magnetic signal transmitting device for transmitting various types of magnetic signals; manual notification means for transmitting a notification signal of occurrence of an emergency to a monitoring center when a predetermined time has elapsed after a switch operation by the portable person; An automatic notifying means for detecting the continuation of a predetermined time of the person's body in an inclined state or an operation stop state and transmitting the notifying signal to the monitoring center, and from the magnetic signal transmitting device when passing through the entrance of the specific area. And a mode switching setting means for receiving the magnetic signal and setting the switching of the monitoring function mode.

[0009] The portable terminal, when a switch operation is performed by the carrier, when detecting a tendency state of the body of the carrier, or when detecting a stop of the body operation of the carrier, A transmission notification means for performing a transmission notification to the carrier is included.

[0010] Further, the portable terminal, when a notice of transmission of the notification signal is given by the transmission notice means, if there is an operation by the person within each of the predetermined time, the portable terminal receives the notice signal. A transmission canceling means for canceling the transmission is included.

In the configuration corresponding to claim 1, the portable terminal stores a monitoring restart state if the magnetic signal detected by the mode switching setting means is a monitoring restart signal, and stores a monitoring restart state if the monitoring signal is a monitoring interrupt signal. If the signal is a private room input signal, if a private room exit signal is not detected before the time is up and the time set in advance for the private room monitoring is counted and the private room exit signal is not detected, the notification of the notification signal is notified, and the transmission cancellation is performed by the carrier. If not, the notification signal is transmitted, and if it is a leaving signal, if the power is not turned off by the wearer within the time up to the time-out, a notification to forget to turn off the power is given.

[0012] Further, the magnetic signal transmitting device is a switch device for presetting the switching of the type of the magnetic signal in order to operate the mode switching setting unit of the monitoring function in the portable terminal according to the type of the specific area. Having.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, a portable terminal is provided with an operation sensor 2 for detecting the inclination of the body of the user and the stop of the operation.
A button switch 1 for arbitrarily making a report at the will of the carrier, a reset switch 3 for canceling a report in the event of an erroneous operation, a vibrator 4 for a report notice, etc .; A control circuit (CPU) 5 having a function of performing processing and a timer for counting the effective time of the reset switch 3, a radio transmission circuit 6 for notifying a monitoring center, and a magnetic signal transmission installed at an entrance of a specific area It comprises a magnetic sensor 8 for sensing a signal prompting mode switching from the device, and a mode memory 7 for storing the current state of the monitoring function. The magnetic signal transmitting device is installed at an entrance or the like in an area where the monitoring mode of the portable terminal is to be switched. The magnetic signal changeover switch 11 for changing the type of the magnetic signal according to the environment, the magnetic signal transmitter 9 for transmitting the magnetic signal, and the information read from the magnetic signal changeover switch 11 to make a judgment to make the magnetic signal transmitter 9 A control circuit (CPU) 10 for performing control such as issuing a transmission command.

The portable terminal has a manual report function for the reporter to arbitrarily report to the monitoring center with the button switch 1 and an automatic report function by monitoring using the motion sensor 2. The monitoring by the mobile terminal starts from the time when the wearer wears the mobile terminal. When the angle with respect to the ground becomes 25 degrees or less when the ground is level or when the operation is performed for a certain period of time (a value independent of a living rhythm). In the case of a stop, an abnormality is detected, and an automatic notification is performed after the notice is given. Therefore, even if the hand is inconvenient or the person falls down, the abnormality can be notified unless the report is canceled.

The notification cancellation is valid only for a certain period of time until the time count in the CPU 5 times up. If the notification cancellation is executed before the time up,
The timer is reset and the notification notice by vibrator 4 is also stopped, but otherwise the notification signal is transmitted to the monitoring center. As described above, the monitoring of the mobile terminal is started from the time when the wearer wears it, but when passing through the entrance of the specific area, if a magnetic signal is received from the magnetic signal transmission device installed at each entrance, the monitoring is performed. And a function of automatically installing a monitoring function in accordance with the sensed signal. For example, if the time count value is set to 5 in a factory where a single operation is performed, 0 is set in a conference room or the like where people are around.
Set 10 when you are in a private room like a toilet.

FIG. 2 shows the operation of the emergency call system shown in FIG.
5 will be described together with FIG. The wearer enters the monitoring state from the time when the user wears the mobile terminal and starts work, while checking whether or not the magnetic sensor 8 detects the magnetic signal,
Monitors the operation of the carrier. In the normal monitoring state, when the angle of inclination is less than 25 degrees with respect to the ground, when the operation is stopped, or when the button switch 1 is pressed, the timer in the CPU 5 starts counting and the time is up.
The notification of the notification signal transmission by the vibrator 4 is performed. In this timer operation state, if the reset switch 3 is pressed before the time is up, the timer in the CPU 5 is reset, the vibrator 4 is stopped, and the notification signal transmission notice is canceled. Further, if the notification cancellation by the reset switch 3 is not performed during the execution of the notification notice, the CPU 5 outputs a notification signal transmission command to the wireless transmission circuit 6,
Encourage the transmission of a notification signal to the monitoring center.

When a magnetic signal is detected, the CPU 5 first determines the magnetic signal. When the detected magnetic signal is the monitoring interruption signal, the CPU 5 writes the monitoring interruption state in the mode memory 7 to interrupt the monitoring. While the monitoring is interrupted, the monitoring waits for the monitoring restart signal. When the monitoring is restarted, the monitoring restart state is written in the mode memory 7 and the monitoring is restarted (see FIG. 3). If the detected magnetic signal is a private room entering signal, the CPU 5 performs a time count (the count value is larger than a normal value), and if the private room leaving signal is detected before the time is up, monitoring is started again. However, when the time is up, a notice is notified and the state of the carrier is confirmed (see FIG. 4). When the detected magnetic signal is the exit signal, the CPU 5 counts the time, and when the time is up, activates the vibrator 4 to notify that the power supply has been forgotten (see FIG. 5).

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention, the portable terminal has a manual reporting means for reporting to the monitoring center on his / her own will, so that the report can be made anywhere. Even when the hand is inconvenient or the person falls down due to faintness, it is possible to report by the automatic reporting means.

Also, when used in conjunction with a magnetic signal transmitting device, when entering an area where monitoring is unnecessary, monitoring is interrupted.
When entering a private room such as a toilet, monitor with a large time count stance (for example, if the time count value is 5 in a factory that works alone, 0 in a conference room with people around it, toilet 1 when entering a private room like
For example, the setting in the portable terminal can be automatically switched so as to perform monitoring according to a change in the environment, such as setting to 0.

The present system can always be monitored, and provides an easy-to-use system by eliminating the trouble of continuing monitoring in an area where monitoring is not necessary, and helps to spread the system for supporting safety management. .
