Description

Fire detection system and its method {FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD}

The present invention relates to a fire detection system and method thereof, and more particularly, to a fire detection system and method for determining whether a fire has occurred in consideration of location information and environmental information in which a detection camera is installed.

In general, fire monitoring devices are installed in places where there is a risk of fire, and fire detection sensors or CCTVs for fire monitoring are used as such fire monitoring devices.

In various places, the fire detection sensor or CCTV for fire monitoring is used to monitor whether or not a fire has occurred, but this is simply a case that is above or below the standard value of the sensor value detected by the fire detection sensor, or changes in pixels in the fire monitoring CCTV. There is a problem in that it is difficult to accurately determine whether or not a fire has occurred at the actual site by monitoring whether or not a fire has occurred.

In other words, a general fire monitoring device does not determine whether a fire has occurred in consideration of the individual characteristics of each specific site, and even if a fire alarm is transmitted, it does not provide a solution to how to prevent false positives in which no actual fire has occurred. It is reality.

More specifically, the photographing unit 110 may generate image information by photographing a specific area.

Throughout the specification, a specific area refers to a place where an administrator wants to monitor and check whether a fire has occurred, and may refer to a place where the photographing unit 110 generates image information at a location where the detection camera 100 is installed. .

In addition, the sensor unit 120 may detect environmental information of a specific region, where the environmental information may mean a temperature of a specific region and a degree of smoke generated in a specific region.

More specifically, the temperature sensor module 121 may detect a temperature of a specific region, and the smoke sensor module 122 may detect smoke of a specific region.

In addition, the matching unit 130 may match image information and environment information in correspondence with the location information and timeline of the current detection camera 100, where the location information of the current detection camera 100 is I can confirm.

In addition, the storage unit 210 may store image information and environment information matched by the matching unit 130 received from the first communication unit 140.

In addition, the fire occurrence determination unit 220 may determine whether a fire occurs in a specific area using the image information and environment information matched by the matching unit 130.

In addition, when the fire occurrence determination unit 220 determines that a fire has occurred in a specific area, the second communication unit 230 may transmit the determination of the fire occurrence determination unit 220 to the preset manager terminal 10. .

More specifically, the singularity occurrence determination module 221 includes image information and environment information (hereinafter referred to as'reference image information and environment information') matched by the matching unit 130 previously stored by the storage unit 210 and a first communication unit. The image information and environment information (hereinafter referred to as'comparative image information and environment information') matched by the matching unit 130 received from 140 can be compared, and as a result of the comparison, it is possible to determine whether or not a singular point has occurred in the timeline of a specific area. I can.

Can be saved as information. In addition, when the situation report includes a fire occurrence in a specific area, the storage unit 210 may store that the singularity occurring in the timeline of the specific area is a fire occurrence, and the second communication unit 230 may store a fire in the specific area. It can be transmitted to the fire department that the information has occurred.

When the storage unit 210 stores that the singularity occurring in the timeline of a specific area is a fire, a similar singularity occurs when the singularity occurrence determination module 221 determines whether the singularity occurs in the timeline of the specific area in the future. If so, it will be possible to quickly confirm that a fire has occurred in a specific area, and the second communication unit 230 may transmit the corresponding content to the manager terminal 10 and the fire department.

In addition, when the second communication unit 230 does not receive a status report corresponding to the primary warning from the manager terminal 10, the control module 222 can transmit the secondary warning to the manager terminal 10 and the fire department. In addition, the secondary warning may include information that an unidentified risk has occurred in a specific area.

That is, it can be determined more accurately whether or not a fire has occurred in a specific area depending on whether or not a situation report corresponding to the primary warning is received from the manager terminal 10, and if the situation report is not received, another risk other than a fire By judging that a situation has occurred, there is an effect of preventing the occurrence of dangers not only in fire but also in various situations in advance.

In addition, there is an effect of preventing firefighting officials from requesting dispatch indiscriminately.
