Here, the emergency state includes an outsider's intrusion, fire, gas leakage, and the like. As the sensing means 20, a magnetic sensor, an impact sensor, an infrared sensor, or the like may be used to detect the opening or closing of a window, the impact / break of the window, or the movement of a person.

The photographing means 30 is a camera that automatically moves according to the movement of the object, and is preferably connected to a predetermined port (eg, a USB port) of the home server 44 and controlled by the home server 44.

The sensing information reception control device 42 is connected to a home server and an external cable 40, and as shown in FIG. 3, an RF antenna 53 for receiving sensing information from the sensing means 20, and sensing means. RF receiving module 59 for receiving detection information from the 20 and transmitting and receiving information to and from the main control unit 60, a telephone network connection unit 55 for connecting to the telephone network 47, a PSTN control module 57, And a main controller 60 for controlling the RF receiving module 59 and the PSTN control module 57. In addition, although not shown, the detection information receiving control device 42 displays a list of the sensing means 20 currently installed in the system and the location information of each sensing means 20 (eg, sensor No. 1-the inner window). A storage unit for storing is further provided.

The telephone network connection unit 55 is preferably an RJ-11 jack for receiving a ring signal or DTMF signal from an external user terminal 45 through the telephone network 47.

The PSTN control module 57 starts operation by a ring signal received through the telephone network connection unit 55 and generates a wake-up signal according to the DTMF signal input by the user, or under the control of the main controller 60. Generate a wake-up signal.

The PSTN control module 57 performs a series of power control operations, security setting release, detection information voice guidance, etc. according to the DTMF signal input by the user.

The sensing information reception control device 42 is connected to the motherboard of the home server 44 through the connector 66 and is operated by receiving the constant power from the motherboard, and the main controller 60 operates the RF antenna 53, The sensing information of the sensing means 20 received through the RF receiving module 59 is transmitted to the home server 44 through the connector 66.

The sensing information receiving control device 42 further includes a battery 62 which supplies its own power when the constant power is not supplied from the motherboard of the home server 44 through the connector 66.

In operation by the battery 62, the main controller 60 controls the PSTN control module 57 in advance without transmitting sensing information of the sensing means 20 to the home server 44 through the connector 66. You can also dial the unique phone number of the user terminal 45 registered in the voice guidance to the user.

The main controller 60 processes data input from the RF receiving module 59 and the PSTN control module 57 and communicates with the home server 44 through the connector 66. The main controller 60 transmits / receives information with the RF receiving module 59 to control the PSTN control module 57 to determine a wake-up signal for waking up the home server 44. Output to the home server 44 through the connector 66.

4 is a diagram schematically illustrating a connection configuration of the sensing information reception control device 42 and the home server 44.

As shown in Fig. 4, the sensing information reception control device 42 and the home server 44 are provided with connectors 66 and 80 for interconnecting each other.

The home server 44 includes an SMPS 70 (Switching Mode Power Supply) for supplying power, an SIO 72 (Serial Input / Ouput) for transmitting and receiving serial data signals with the sensing information receiving control device 42, In communication with the ICH 74 (I / O Controller Hub) for controlling data input and output, the photographing means 30 connected to the ICH 74, the bios 76, the SIO 72 and the ICH 74, And an application 78 for controlling the sensing information receiving control device 42 and the photographing means 30 and the like.

The SIO 72, ICH 74, and SMPS 70 of the home server 44 are connected to the sensing information reception control device 42 through the connectors 66 and 80.

Power supplied from the SMPS 70 of the home server 44 is supplied to the sensing information receiving control device 42 through the connector 80 to operate the sensing information receiving control device 42.

The SIO 72 receives the wake-up signal from the PSTN control module 57 of the sensing information reception control device 42 and provides it to the SMPS 70 as a power button signal. Accordingly, the SMPS 70 supplies power to the home server 44.

Here, if the BIOS 76 password is set when power is supplied to the home server 44, since booting does not proceed during wakeup, in the present invention, the GPIO (General Purpose Iuput / Output) port of the ICH 74 is detected. It is connected to the main control unit 60 of the reception control device 42. The main controller 60 controls the GPIO port of the ICH 74 to output the wake-up signal to the home server 44 so that the BIOS 76 may skip the password without checking the password.

Then, the SIO 72 transmits the power state information of the home server 44 to the sensing information reception control device 42. Thus, when the security system controls the power of the home server 44 in response to the DTMF signal or the emergency state detection by the detection means 20, the voice guidance of the power state of the home server 44 through the user terminal 45 Can be configured to be possible.

For example, the main controller 60 checks the power state of the home server 44 to check whether the home server 44 is properly woken up, and when the home server 44 is turned on, the "home server 44" Power is turned on. "The voice guidance message is transmitted to the user terminal 45 through the telephone network connection (55). On the other hand, if the power is not turned on, the beep sound for a few seconds and transmits a voice guidance message "failed" to the user terminal 45 through the telephone network connection (55). Of course, the same applies to the case where the power of the home server 44 is turned off remotely by the DTMF signal, and it is also applicable to the case of controlling the power of the home server 44 only by the ring signal.

The RS-232C interface of the SIO 72 transmits and receives the sensed information and status / control information with the sensed information receiving control device 42 and the home server 44.

In addition, the GPIO port of the ICH 74 is assigned to a port for detecting whether the sensing information receiving control device 42 is connected to the home server 44, and the sensing information receiving control device 42 is detected as being connected. BIOS 76 will only enable the RS-232C port of SIO 72 if it is.

The application 78 installed in the home server 44 includes a sensor application controlling the sensing information reception control device 42, a camera application controlling the photographing means 30, and an IP registration application.

Therefore, the user can easily recognize and manage the emergency status information by the PC.

The sensor application is configured to run automatically as the home server 44 wakes up. When the sensor application is executed, the emergency state detection information data is read from the detection information reception control device 42 and then connected to the message providing server 49 through the Internet network 50. Here, the emergency state detection information data includes a list of the sensing means 20 detecting the emergency state, location information, and emergency state information. The sensor application connected to the message providing server 49 provides the emergency state detection information data to the message providing server 49 together with the unique telephone number of the user terminal 45 so that the emergency state detection information data is in the form of a text message. To 45. This is to allow the user to intuitively know the position of the sensing means 20 in which an emergency condition is detected when the user receives the text message to the user terminal 45.

The camera application may be configured to operate in conjunction with the sensor application. Here, the interlocking operation of the camera application and the sensor application may be performed by storing the location information of each sensing means 20 using the camera application. Of course, if the position of the photographing means 30 is changed, the location information of each sensing means 20 should be stored again.

When the sensor application receives the emergency state detection information data from the detection information reception control device 42, it is possible to request the camera application to record through the photographing means 30. At this time, the camera application that receives the position information of the sensing means 20 that detects the emergency state from the sensor application moves the photographing means 30 to the position of the corresponding sensing means 20 to start recording.

The photographing means 30 is tracked when motion is detected, and patrols when motion is not detected.

When the recording is completed, the camera application connects to the message providing server 49 and provides the still image or video photographed and the unique telephone number of the user terminal 45 to the message providing server 49 and transmits it to the user terminal 45. Do it. Of course, the image photographed by the photographing means 30 may be stored in the local disk in the home server 44. Therefore, even when a communication error occurs in the Internet network 50, the local history information can be inquired and emergency occurrence information can be confirmed.

Of course, the camera application may control the operation of the photographing means 30 independently without interlocking with the sensor application.

When the home server 44 wakes up, the IP registration application reads the IP information of the home server 44 and provides it to the message providing server 49 so that a message about the IP information is transmitted to the user terminal 45. To the user via the user's email address. Thus, the user connects to the home server 44 from a computer device such as an external PC 52 or a PDA based on the IP information of the home server 44, and detects the sensor 20 as shown in FIG. The operation history of the means 30 may be inquired or the photographing means 30 may be operated.

5 shows an example of the operation history of the sensing means 20 / photographing means 30 that can be accessed by inquiring to the home server 44. As shown in FIG. 5, the user names the sensor name including the position information of the sensing means 20, the presence or absence of the emergency state, the occurrence time of the emergency state, the presence or absence of a recorded image, and the like. Accordingly, history management for emergency occurrence information is possible.

The message providing server 49 makes it possible to provide a message to the user terminal 45 through the telephone network 47 in the form of at least one of a text, an image, and a video according to data provided from the home server 44. .

In addition, pin 5 of the connector 80 outputs power S + 5V supplied from the SMPS 70 of the home server 44 and is supplied to the sensing information reception control device 42.

Therefore, the sensing information reception control device 42 may receive the power of the home server 44 through the connector 80, and if it is determined that an emergency occurs, a wake-up signal for waking up the home server 44 The output to the home server 44 through the connector 80.

In addition, the home server 44 outputs its power state to the sensing information receiving control device 42 through the connector 80 so that the sensing information receiving control device 42 can check whether the wake-up operation is normal. .

In addition, when the sensing information reception control device 42 outputs the wake-up through the connector 80, the password skip signal is transmitted through the connector 80 so as to skip the password checking process in the BIOS 76 of the home server 44. Output

The wakeup signal output from the PSTN control module 57 is output to the home server 44 through the connector 66. Since the wakeup signal output to the home server 44 operates as a power button signal, the power of the home server 44 is turned on (102). In this case, the main controller 60 controls the GPIO port of the ICH 74 of the home server 44 to skip the BIOS 76 password input process so that the booting proceeds (103). Accordingly, as the booting proceeds and the operating system is executed, the IP registration application of the home server 44 is executed to register the IP information of the home server 44 with the message providing server 49, and to the home terminal 45 as the user terminal 45.
