This also applies to the first invention and the second invention.
In combination with the invention, it is possible to prevent the accident from spreading when an abnormality occurs, and to enable appropriate control when it is confirmed that the user has forgotten to cut off the image at home.

A portable information terminal 41 as the above information terminal
May be an information terminal which is an advanced function of the mobile phone 4, and the mobile phone 4 as the mobile terminal may be a phone which is an advanced function of the mobile information terminal 41. It may be a combination of a telephone device based on a pager or a notebook computer and an information processing device.

Next, the absence monitoring operation based on the configuration of FIG. 1 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4. The process of monitoring the answering machine is started from an operation input of an answering key 91 provided on the operation unit 9 of the processing device 2 when the resident goes out. Naturally, the resident goes out with the mobile phone 4 and the information terminal 41.

Based on the operation of the answer key 91, the control circuit 21 of the processing device 2 detects the input and starts up, and enters the monitoring state S1 based on a program stored internally in advance. In this monitoring state, the output of the signal receiving circuit 22 for receiving the fire signal and the intrusion signal from the fire detector 1 and the window sensor 11 is monitored by a relay contact (not shown) (S11), and the telephone is connected via the public line 3. 32
Circuit 2 for receiving a predetermined signal when there is a connection to
4 is monitored (S12).

When there is a fire signal or an intrusion signal in the signal receiving circuit 22 (operation of S11), an alarm state (S3) is set, and when there is a reception output from the receiving circuit 24 (call of S12), control is performed. The receiving state (S5) is entered.
Then, when the resident returns from the outside, the off key is operated again to perform an off input (input in S13), thereby performing an off process (S14).

When a fire occurs during absence, an alarm state (S3) is entered based on the input of the fire signal, and an alarm process is performed. In the alarm state (S3), first, a flag F set in a non-illustrated non-volatile rewritable predetermined storage means for storing the fact of a fire state is turned on (S31).
Then, data of the notification destination storage unit 71 of the storage unit 7 which is the telephone number of the mobile phone 4 is read (S32), and the notification circuit 2
The dial output is performed by 3 (S34). The data is read from the report destination storage unit 71 (S32),
May be used, but in the case of using a pager or another PHS, a plurality of (here, two) report destinations can be set, and although not shown in detail, the key device of the operation unit 9 The setting is performed by the user.

With respect to the dial output, the count c on the RAM (not shown) is set to 0 (S33), and the first dial is performed (S34). If a call cannot be established during a call (during a call in S35), the count c is incremented by 1 (S41), and if the number of calls C such as 20 has not been reached (<in S40), dialing is performed again (S34). If the call is not made until the number of calls C is reached (= at S40), the call may be made after waiting for a time and then again from the first time. However, here, a predetermined customer center is reported as a fixed report destination. (S42).

Then, when the call is connected (connection in S35), the notification content storage unit 7 of the storage unit 7 based on the fire signal
The message content 1 is read out and the notification circuit 23 outputs a voice (S36). Here, the data in the report content storage unit 72 is voice data, but if the report destination is not the mobile phone 4 or the PHS but a pager, it may be data for display, and a facsimile device is selected as the report destination. Then, image data indicating a fire may be set.

After being connected to the mobile phone 4 and sending out the contents of the report, the mobile phone 4 waits for an operation. When the mobile information terminal 41 is used and there is a switching signal for viewing the image (the image in S38) ), And it shifts to the control reception state (S5). When the line is disconnected, for example, when the portable information terminal 41 cannot be prepared immediately, the state returns to the monitoring state (S1). When the sensor operates thereafter, the alarm state is not entered based on the flag F being turned on (normal in S11).

Also, when an intruder breaks through a window while he is away, an alarm state (S3) is established based on the input of the intrusion signal from the window sensor 11, and an alarm process is performed in the same manner as in the case of a fire. . Here, assuming that the flag F indicates an alarm state,
It may be shared with the fire condition, but may be stored separately,
Here, it is common. Then, the notification to the mobile phone 4 is performed in the same manner, and for the voice output of the notification content storage unit 72, the notification content 2 based on the intrusion signal is read out, and the voice is output by the notification circuit 23 (S36). Then, after transmitting the contents of the report to the mobile phone 4, when the portable information terminal 41 is used and there is an image switching signal (the image of S38), the mode is shifted to the control reception state (S5) and the line is disconnected. Sometimes, it returns to the monitoring state (S1). Here, when the sensor is operated thereafter, the alarm state is not entered based on the flag F being turned on (normal in S11). However, when the flag is turned on separately for the intrusion signal and the fire signal, the flag is turned off. The alarm state (S3) can be set when an off-side signal is input.

The control reception state (S5) includes an alarm state (S
There is a case where there is a switching signal to an image in 3) (image in S38), a case where there is a reception output from the receiving circuit 24 in the monitoring state (S1), and a case where there is a call in S12. The processing device 2 is connected in parallel with the telephone 33 from the public line 3, and the control circuit 21 outputs the signal to the switching circuit 29 to connect the line to the notification circuit 23 by detecting a predetermined signal of the receiving circuit 24. In such a transition to the control reception state, in any case, from the state of the flag F indicating the alarm state, when the flag F that requires immediate control is turned on (S51 on), a password request is made. Instead, the process immediately proceeds to image processing (to S55), but when the flag F is turned off, the input of the password set in the password storage unit 73 of the storage unit 7 is requested (S53).

The reason for requesting the password is to prevent a malicious third party from calling and sending out an image inside the answering machine. And about the password request,
The count n on the RAM (not shown) is set to 0 (S52),
A request for a password is made (S53). If the password cannot be received (mismatch in S54), the count n is incremented by 1 (S74), and if the number of requests N, such as three, has not been reached (<S73>), a request is made again (S53).
If reception is not possible until the number of requests N has been reached (S73 =), the line is cut off and the state returns to the monitoring state (S1). When the password is correctly received (acceptance of S54), the process proceeds to image processing. The control circuit 21 of the processing device 2
After being called and confirming that it is formal use by a password, an image signal is requested as a control signal to the surveillance camera 5 via the transmission circuit 25 and an image is captured (S5).
5). Then, the image is output as compressed data using a method such as JPEG to the portable information terminal 41 via the notification circuit 23 and the public line 3 (S56).
The portable information terminal 41 receives the compressed data, performs decompression based on the method, and displays the decompressed data on the LCD 42, which is a display screen, so that the resident can confirm the state of the answering machine. Then, on the processing device 2 side, the public line 3 and the notification circuit 23
Unless an operation input is received from the CPU (No in S57), image capture and image transmission are repeated (S55, S5).
6) In the portable information terminal 41, decompression of the received compressed data and display on the LCD 42 are repeated. Then, the resident can perform necessary control on the absence home by operating the key device 43 or the like of the portable information terminal 41 while viewing the image on the LCD 42.

When there is an operation input (the presence of S57), first, in the case of camera control such as camera direction, zoom-in, out, etc. (the presence of S58), the control circuit 21 sends the monitoring camera 5 through the transmission circuit 25. Control output (S5).
9) According to the occupant's control operation by automatic control of a camera platform and the like, not shown in detail. After the control, the image capture and the image transmission are repeated (S55, S56), and the portable information terminal 41 displays the image of the absence home according to the control operation of the resident. Thereby, even if the field of view of the monitoring camera 5 can be captured only in a predetermined range, it is possible to control the direction, enlarge or reduce the attention point, and to grasp the abnormal state in detail.

In this embodiment, although the fire extinguishing nozzle 8 is combined with the processing apparatus 2 and not shown in detail, the fire extinguishing nozzle 8 is provided in a rod-like shape through a pipe having a main valve from a water supply source such as water supply. Etc. are provided with nozzles for discharging water. Then, the water discharge from the processing device 2 can be started and the water discharge direction can be controlled. Further, the head may be provided with an open head for spraying water in a predetermined range, instead of a nozzle for discharging water. Further, another extinguishing agent, for example, a cylinder that blows out a fire extinguishing gas or a powder extinguishing agent may be used. For home use, the local method is preferred in view of the amount of fire extinguisher and the damage at the time of release.

The resident can watch the image on the LCD 42 of the portable information terminal 41 and cause the fire extinguishing nozzle 8 to perform a fire extinguishing activity. The key device of the portable information terminal 41 is
3, when the start operation is performed, the control circuit 21 receives the water discharge control input via the notification circuit 23 (S60), and the transmission circuit 2
7 outputs a start signal to the fire extinguishing nozzle 8 (S
61), open the main valve (not shown) and start water discharge. After the water discharge control, the control circuit 21 repeats the image capture and the image transmission (S55, S56).
The status of the absence home is displayed on the LCD 42 of the first computer. And
When the resident does not have good water discharge direction, the key device 4
The control circuit 21 performs a water discharge direction control operation on the fire extinguishing nozzle 8 via the transmission circuit 27 when the water discharge control operation is performed via the public line 3 and the notification circuit 23 (S60).
Then, a water discharge direction control signal is output (S61). Then, the control circuit 21 repeats image capture and image transmission (S55, S56), and causes the LCD 42 of the portable information terminal 41 to display the state of the fire extinguishing activity in the absence house.

When the fire extinguishing activity is completed, the occupant performs a water discharge stop operation on the key device 43, and the control circuit 21 similarly performs the water discharge stop operation (S6).
0), and outputs a water discharge stop control signal to the fire extinguishing nozzle 8 (S6).
1) The control circuit 21 repeats image capture and image transmission (S55, S56), and the LCD of the portable information terminal 41
At 42, the state of the extinguishing of the absence house is projected.

Further, the processing device 2 is combined with an outlet sensor 6 capable of controlling the outlet of a commercial power supply in an absence house, and although not shown in detail, this outlet sensor 6 is provided with an electric power branched from the commercial power supply. It is connected to a tap of an outlet of the device and detects the presence or absence of energization by an electric device connected through the outlet sensor 6, and at the same time, the energization can be cut off under the control of the processing device 2.

When the resident looks at the image on the LCD 42 of the portable information terminal 41 or when the power supply becomes uneasy when going out, the power supply can be cut off by the outlet sensor 6. At this time, the key device 43 of the portable information terminal 41
When the switching operation to the power supply state confirmation is performed, the control circuit 21 receives the switching input via the notification circuit 23 (S6).
0), the control circuit 21 captures the use signal for the outlet sensor 6 via the transmission circuit 26 (S63).
Then, the data of the use state is output to the portable information terminal 41 via the notification circuit 23 and the public line 3 (S64). In the portable information terminal 41, the data may be received and an image may be left on the LCD 42 which is a display screen. However, data indicating the use state is displayed so that the resident can confirm the power use state. Then, on the processing device 2 side,
Until an operation input is received from the public line 3 and the notification circuit 23 (No in S68), the use state capture and use state transmission are repeated (S63, S64), and the portable information terminal 41
Then, the display of the data of the use state on the LCD 42 is repeated.
While viewing the data on the LCD 42, the resident checks the key device 4
The shutoff control input can be performed by an operation such as 3.

When the start operation is performed, the control circuit 21 receives the cutoff control input via the notification circuit 23 (the presence of S68),
A cutoff signal is output to the outlet sensor 6 via the output circuit 26 (S67), and the power supply of the electric equipment (not shown) is cut off. After this cutoff control, the control circuit 21 repeats the use state capture and the use state transmission (S63, S63).
64) The use state is displayed on the LCD 42 of the portable information terminal 41. Of course, after the shutoff control, the use state is the power supply unused state. When the resident wants to view the image, the resident performs a switching control operation on the camera. When the resident performs the switching control operation via the public line 3 and the notification circuit 23 (switching in S65), the image capturing is performed. Similarly, when it is desired to continue the absence monitoring, the switching operation to the monitoring state is performed, and when the switching control operation is performed via the public line 3 and the notification circuit 23 (switching of S66), Move to the monitoring state (S1).

When there is a switch to the camera from the use state of the power supply, the control circuit 21 (switching of S65).
Repeats image capture and image transmission from the surveillance camera 5 via the transmission circuit 25 (S55, S56), and again displays the image of the absence message at that time on the portable information terminal 41.

In this manner, the resident who is out of the office can use the image displayed on the LCD 42 of the portable information terminal 41 as shown in FIG.
When a fire condition is no longer necessary, such as when a false alarm or fire suppression is completed, the control circuit 21 of the processing device 2 performs a recovery input from the key device 43 of the portable information terminal 41,
Upon receiving the monitoring switching input (the presence of S69), the flag F is turned off and the recovery operation is performed (S70, S71), and image capture and image transmission from the monitoring camera 5 are repeated (S5).
5, S56), and when the resident who is out of the office no longer needs to display an image on the LCD 42 of the portable information terminal 41, the monitoring device is input from the key device 43 of the portable information terminal 41 to perform processing. Control circuit 21 of device 2
Receives the monitoring switching input (switching of S72), and shifts to the monitoring state (S1).

In the operation of the above embodiment, the processing device 2
, A fire sensor 1, a window sensor 11, an outlet sensor 6, a surveillance camera 5, and a fire extinguishing nozzle 8 are connected to each other. It is sufficient that the supply is started and started, and unnecessary power consumption is not performed. In addition, fire detector 1
Is to independently monitor the fire even when it is for home use and does not monitor the answering machine, and sounds a built-in buzzer (not shown) at the same time the fire is detected (it may be stored). Then, when returning to the normal state in which no fire is detected, the sounding is stopped. As described above, in the above-described embodiment, when the resident is at home, the alarm can be issued by sound, and when the user is out, the notification is sent to the processing device 2 and the notification is made via the public line 3. can do.

In the operation of the above embodiment, the recovery operation (S71) does not require any special operation in the fire detector that returns from the fire state to the normal state. In that case, for example,
Under the control of the processing device 2, it is necessary to perform an operation of once shutting off the power supply to the fire detector 1, restoring the power, and starting up again. In this way, the fire detector 1 can be brought into a state where the fire detector 1 is restored in accordance with the restoration from the fire state (the flag F is turned on) in the processing device 2 (the flag F is turned off). When the state of the fire detector 1 can be controlled by signal transmission, a recovery operation such as transmission of a recovery signal may be performed.

Next, the fire detector 1 in the configuration of FIG.
5 and FIG. 6, FIG. 7, and FIG. 8 showing further details of the fire signal between the processing devices 2 will be described below.

In FIG. 5, the fire detector 1 and the processing device 2 are individually connected to a commercial power supply 35 and basically operate independently. The fire detector 1 includes a fire detection circuit 12 for detecting a smoke by detecting smoke, heat, and the like, and a buzzer 13 that emits a sound based on the fire detection of the fire detection circuit 12. Further, there is provided a contact circuit 14 for notification which is turned on at the same time as the buzzer 13 sounds when the fire detection circuit 12 detects a fire.

The control circuit 21 of the processing device 2 performs the operation shown in the operation description of the embodiment of FIG. 1, but receives a fire signal from the fire detector 1 by a signal receiving circuit 22 composed of a relay or the like. It has become. That is, when the fire detection circuit 12 of the fire detector 1 detects a fire, the buzzer 13 sounds and the contact circuit 14 is turned on. When the contact circuit 14 of the fire detector 1 is turned on, the signal line is turned on, the signal receiving circuit 22 as a relay is operated, and the operation is input to the control circuit 21 composed of a microcomputer or the like. This operation input is supplied to the fire detection circuit 12 of the fire detector 1.
Is input to the control circuit 21 during the detection of the
The input is stopped based on the normal state detection of the fire detection circuit 12 of FIG. In this case, the input to the processing device 2 is
If the fire detector 1 is provided with a simple contact, it can be used because it can be used easily, and there is no need to develop the fire detector 1 exclusively for this embodiment.

The window sensor 11 also has a similar output form and is similarly received by the signal receiving circuit 22. However, individual relays are used, and the fire signal and the intrusion signal are input to the control circuit 21 in a distinguished manner. It is configured to be.

FIG. 6 shows a fire detector 1 in the configuration of FIG.
In this case, a fire signal and the like between the processing unit 2 and the processing unit 2 are transmitted and received by signal transmission. On the fire detector 1 side, a transmission / reception circuit 14a and a signal processing circuit are used instead of the contact circuit 14 for signaling in FIG. 15 on the processing device 2 side.
A transmission / reception circuit 22a is provided in place of the signal reception circuit 22 using the relay.

Each of the transmission / reception circuits 14a and 22a is constituted by using a photocoupler or the like which outputs a pulse at a predetermined timing with respect to a constant voltage.
Is configured so that a fire detection input of the fire detection circuit 12 is performed by using a microcomputer. Then, the fire detector 1 sounds the buzzer 13 based on the fire detection of the fire detection circuit 12, and inputs a fire to the signal processing circuit 15. The signal processing circuit 15 transmits and receives a transmission / reception circuit based on the fire input. A fire signal is transmitted and output by using 14a. In the processing device 2, the control circuit 21
A fire signal is received from the fire detector 1 via a to recognize a fire.

When such signal transmission is used, various information can be carried on a pair of signal lines as compared with the case of the configuration of FIG. For example, if the window sensor 11 is
It is possible to transmit signals by configuring in the same manner as described above, and to receive the fire signal and the intrusion signal while distinguishing the signal content based on the address and the like. Furthermore, by sharing the signal transmission form of the monitoring camera 5 and the like, the signal transmission / reception circuit of the processing device 2 can be integrated into one, and wiring to each unit is performed by transmitting a pair of signal lines from the processing device 2. Only wiring is required.

According to the configuration of FIG. 6, the fire detector 1
The power supply to the transmission / reception circuit 14a and the signal processing circuit 15 is performed by supplying a constant voltage from the transmission / reception circuit 22a of the processing device 2 via a signal line, and based on the operating state of the fire detector 1, the processing device 2 can monitor status information. Further, the transmission / reception circuit 14a and the signal processing circuit 1
5 does not need to be integrated with the fire detector 1, and may be connected in the form of an adapter.

FIG. 7 shows a case where the transmission and reception by signal transmission between the fire detector 1 and the processing device 2 of FIG. 6 instead of the configuration of FIG.
In place of the transfer contact circuit 14 in FIG. 5, a transmission / reception circuit 14b having a light emitting circuit and a light receiving circuit for transmission / reception of radio waves or infrared communication and a signal processing circuit 15b are provided. A transmission / reception circuit 22b similar to the transmission / reception circuit 14b is provided in place of the signal reception circuit 22 including the five relays.

The operation in the case of FIG. 7 is the same as that of FIG. 6, and the fire detector 1 makes the buzzer 13 sound based on the fire detection of the fire detection circuit 12 and the signal processing circuit 15b.
The signal processing circuit 15b wirelessly outputs a fire signal using the transmission / reception circuit 14b based on the fire input. In the processing device 2, the control circuit 21 wirelessly receives a fire signal from the fire detector 1 via the transmission / reception circuit 22b and recognizes the fire.
