Definitions

  • This invention relates to a disaster prevention system such as fire alarm systems, gas leakage alarm systems,anti-theft systems and others, and more particularly to a disaster prevention system arranged so as to be capable of effectively managing and knowing the connection status of terminal units by a higher rank unit.
  • the receiver In disaster prevention systems in which a plurality of terminal units such as fire sensors, repeaters or the like are connected to a receiver for managing and controlling the terminal units, the receiver must know connection information or classifying information as well as status information of the individual terminal units.
  • a disaster prevention system in which the classification information of the individual terminal units is transmitted to the receiver together with the supervisory information representative of the operating status of the sensors is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.127292/1983.
  • Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.65398/1985 teaches a fire alarm system whose operation is based on temporally separated transmissions of the classification information and the detected information, and in which the terminal unit responds to a call requesting the classification information as issued by the receiver by sending back the information of a prescribed level which differs from one to another detector in dependence on the classification of the detectors, to thereby allow the receiver to identify the classification of that detector, wherein the call for the detected information is issued in succession to the termining the classification.
  • the receiver decides whether a fire has broken out from the detected information as received on the basis of the result of the decision concerning the classification made previously.
  • both of -the systems disclosed in -the publications mentioned above suffer from the disadvantage that the transmission rate is low, giving rise to problems in respect to operation efficiency, because the classification information must be transmitted upon every polling. Inherently, the classification information is insusceptible to any dynamic variation, which in turn means that the classification information once transmitted needs not be transmitted again. In the systems disclosed in the abovementioned publications, however, the classification information is transmitted upon every polling. Thus, the systems disclosed in the abovementioned publications are disadvantageous in that the information becomes redundant, resulting in reduction in the transmission rate and hence in remarkable delays even in the transmission of urgent information such as fire information or the like.
  • a fire alarm system in which fire sensors are delivering a status information such as an alarm or a no-alarm signal to receivers which are disposed hierarchically, and wherein, at an initialization of the system, the connection of the sensors to the receivers is determined by checking if any alarm or no-alarm signal is received, or if no signal at all is transmitted, but no other disaster prevention units are connected and no classification information indicating the type of the unit is transmitted. Therefore, connection of a false unit may not be detected in this system.
  • EP-A-0 005 842 surveillance of telephone subscribers by polling via telephone lines is described in which collected information is compared, in a central computer, with stored standard information relating to the individual customers including the type of an alarm, but there is no regular polling of classification information from the customers connected to the system.
  • a disaster prevention system such as a fire, gas-leakage, or theft prevention system which has an increased transmission rate of status information of terminals units to receivers and in which terminal units the inherent information of which is not in coincidence with a predetermined information are disregarded during the polling operation.
  • a disaster prevention system including at least one receiver having a plurality of terminal units of certain types connected thereto by at least one transmission trunk, said receiver being adapted to collect an information from said terminal units by polling, and said terminal units being adapted to send an information to a receiver to which they are connected in response to predetermined request calls from the receiver, said information comprising as well an inherent classification information identifying the classification or type of the terminal unit, as a status information indicating the status of the terminal unit at the time of polling the same, wherein said receiver comprises means to collect and to store the requested classification information from terminal units only at the time of an initialization operation of the system, and further means to collect and to determine a status information from those terminal units the previously stored classification information of which coincided with a predetermined information, during the ordinary monitoring operation after initialization of the system, when no more any transfer of inherent classification information is performed.
  • the classification information sent from the terminal unit to the receiver on request may include, in addition to the type of the terminal unit, an information as to the number, the address, the presence of testing means, or other specific information on the terminal unit, and the terminal units may comprise sensors, specifically those delivering a fire, a gas-leakage, or a theft information, repeaters, smoke prevention or discharge devices, or the like.
  • a plurality of receivers are disposed hierarchically, wherein each of the lowest rank receivers has terminal units connected thereto and is arranged as to collect and to store information from said terminal units by polling and to transfer the collected information to the next higher rank receiver, sequentially up to the highest rank receiver.
  • maps of inherent information such as classification information of the terminal units connected to the low rank receivers are transferred sequentially from the hierarchically lowest rank receivers towards the hierarchically highest rank receiver at the first initialization or at an intermediate initialization in the course of operation, whereby inherent information maps are ultimately collected at the hierarchically highest rank receiver automatically, while inherent information concerning the assigned area is also held in the receiver in charge of that area in the course of the collection of the information, as the result of which a procedure for preliminarily setting a map concerning the relevant terminals at each of the associated receivers can be done away with, while the transmission rate can be increased because no transfer of the inherent information is performed during the ordinary monitoring operation of the diaster prevention system.

Next, it is decided whether there is a transfer request from the host system by checking whether a classification information transfer request interrupt flag is set or not at the host system (block 210).
