Aufgrund zunehmender Kriminalität sehen sich viele Menschen, insbesondere Eigentümer von Einfamilienhäusern, veranlaßt, ihre Grundstücke und Häuser durch Einbruchmeldeanlagen zu sichern. Die bekannten Einbruchmeldeanlagen sind zwar in der Lage, einen Einbruch optisch und/oder akustisch mittels Sirenen und Rundumleuchten anzuzeigen; doch zeigt die Erfahrung, daß Nachbarn und vorbeigehende Passanten in den meisten Fällen von einem Fehlalarm ausgehen oder sich einfach nicht trauen, bei der Polizei anzurufen, nicht zuletzt deshalb, weil sie Angst haben, sich zu blamieren. Ein Ausweg sieht vor, die Einbruchmeldeanlagen auf eine ständig besetzte Alarmzentrale aufzuschalten. Die Installation derartiger Syteme führt jedoch zu erheblichen finanziellen Belastungen, die viele Menschen davon abhalten, sich eine derartige Einbruchmeldeanlage zu beschaffen.Many see each other due to increasing crime People, especially owners of single family houses, causes their plots and houses through To secure burglar alarm systems. The well-known Burglar alarm systems are capable of a burglary optically and / or acoustically using sirens and Display rotating lights; but experience shows that Neighbors and passers-by in most cases assume a false alarm or just don't trust to call the police, not least because because they're afraid to embarrass themselves. One way out sees before, the burglar alarm systems on a constantly manned To activate the alarm center. The installation of such However, systems result in significant financial Burdens that prevent many people from becoming one to procure such intrusion detection system.

Aus der FR-A-2 633 762 ist ein automatisches Nachbarschafts-Sicherheitssystem bekannt, bei dem eine vorbestimmte Anzahl von Gemeinschaftsteilnehmern über ein Energieversorgungsnetz verbunden sind. Jedem Gemeinschaftsteilnehmer sind Detektoren, Kodierer und Sendeeeinrichtungen zum Übertragen eines Identifizierungssignals unter Ansprechen auf einen aktivierten Detektor zugeordnet. Mit dem bekannten automatischen Nachbarschafts-Sicherheitssystem ist es jedoch insbesondere nicht möglich, Sabotageleitungen mit zu überwachen.From FR-A-2 633 762 is an automatic Neighborhood security system known in which one predetermined number of community participants over one Power supply network are connected. Each Community participants are detectors, encoders and Transmitting devices for transmitting a Identification signal in response to one activated detector assigned. With the known automatic neighborhood security system it is however in particular not possible to include sabotage lines monitor.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Telegemeinschafts-Alarmsystem sowie ein dafür geeignetes Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem bereitzustellen, mit denen eine effiziente Überwachung, insbesondere von Grundstücken und Gebäuden auch ohne Aufschaltung der einzelnen Einbruchmeldeanlagen auf eine ständig besetzte Alarmzentrale ermöglicht wird.The invention is therefore based on the object Tele-community alarm system and a suitable one Provide security monitoring modem with which efficient surveillance, especially of land and buildings even without individual activation Burglar alarm systems on a constantly manned Alarm center is enabled.

Das technische Problem löst die Erfindung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 und den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 6. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The invention solves the technical problem with the Features of claim 1 and the features of the claim 6. Advantageous further developments are in the subclaims specified.

Der Kerngedanke der Erfindung ist darin zu sehen, daß sich eine Telegemeinschaft informierter und motivierter Nachbarn zusammenschließt, die gegenseitig auf das Eigentum der anderen aufpassen. Dazu wird ein Telegemeinschafts-Alarmsystem oder eine Telegemeinschafts-Alarmanlage bereitgestellt, die mehrere Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems aufweist. Bei jedem Mitglied der Telegemeinschaft ist ein solches Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem installiert und über eine digitale oder analoge Teilnehmeranschlußeinrichtung an ein Telekommunikationsnetz angeschaltet. Jedes Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem weist wenigstens einen Eingangsanschluß, an den ein Detektor zum Erfassen eines Alarmzustandes anschaltbar ist, sowie einen weiteren Eingang zum Überwachen einer Sabotageleitung auf. Bei dem Detektor handelt es sich um einen Alarmgeber, der beispielsweise auf einen Glasbruch, das Öffnen einer Tür, das Betreten eines Grundstücks und vieles mehr ansprechen und ein Signal an das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem senden kann. In jedem Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem ist ein erster Speicher vorgesehen, in den die Rufnummer eines oder jedes Mitglieds der Telegemeinschaft ablegbar ist. Beispielsweise können in dem ersten Speicher bis zu zehn verschiedene Rufnummern eingegeben werden. Ein zweiter Speicher dient dazu, eine Nachricht zur Identifizierung des jeweiligen Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems zu speichern. Die Identifizierungsnachricht umfaßt vorteilhafterweise die Rufnummer des zugehörigen Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems und gegebenenfalls den Namen und die Anschrift des Mitglieds, bei dem das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem installiert ist. Wenn der Detektor einen Alarmzustand erfaßt, löst das entsprechende Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem einen Alarm wenigstens bei einem der Mitglieder der Telegemeinschaft aus. Eine programmierbare Steuereinrichtung wählt dazu unter Ansprechen auf ein vom Detektor geliefertes Signal wenigstens eine der in dem ersten Speicher abgelegten Rufnummern automatisch an und sendet die im zweiten Speicher enthaltene Identifizierungsnachricht an das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem des angewählten Gemeinschaftsmitglieds. Die programmierbare Steuereinrichtung ist derart ausgebildet, daß sie unter Ansprechen auf eine empfangene Identifizierungsnachricht ein akustisches und/oder optisches Alarmsignal bei dem gerufenen Gemeinschaftsmitglied auslöst und die Identifizierungsnachricht auf einem Display ausgibt. Auf diese Weise ist eine schnelle und eindeutige Identifizierung des den Alarm auslösenden Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems gewährleistet.The main idea of the invention is to be seen in that a tele-community is more informed and motivated Neighbors joined together on each other's property watch the other. To do this, a Telecommunal alarm system or one Telecommunal alarm system deployed to multiple Has security monitoring modems. With every member the tele-community is one Security monitoring modem installed and via a digital or analog subscriber line equipment to one Telecommunications network switched on. Each Security monitoring modem has at least one Input connection to which a detector for detecting a Alarm state can be switched on, as well as another Entrance to monitor a sabotage line on. In which Detector is an alarm that for example on a broken glass, opening a door, address entering a property and much more and send a signal to the security monitoring modem can. There is a first one in each security monitoring modem Memory provided in which the phone number of each or each Members of the telegemunity can be discarded. For example can have up to ten different ones in the first memory Phone numbers can be entered. A second memory serves a message to identify each Store security monitoring modems. The Identification message advantageously includes the Phone number of the associated security monitoring modem and, if applicable, the name and address of the Member where the security surveillance modem is installed. If the detector is in an alarm condition detects, solves the corresponding Security monitoring modem at least one alarm one of the members of the telecommunity. A Programmable control device chooses Response to a signal delivered by the detector at least one of those stored in the first memory Call numbers automatically and send the second Identification message contained in the memory to the Security monitoring modem of the selected Community member. The programmable Control device is designed such that it is under Responding to an identification message received an acoustic and / or visual alarm signal at the called community member and the Outputs identification message on a display. On this way is quick and clear Identification of the one that triggered the alarm Security monitoring modems guaranteed.

Um die Telegemeinschafts-Alarmanlage effizienter gestalten zu können, wählt die programmierbare Steuereinrichtung unter Ansprechen auf das vom Detektor gelieferte Signal mehrere oder alle im ersten Speicher enthaltenen Rufnummern in einer vorbestimmten, programmierbaren Reihenfolge automatisch an.To make the telecommunal alarm system more efficient to be able to design chooses the programmable Control device in response to that from the detector delivered signal several or all in the first memory phone numbers contained in a predetermined, programmable order automatically.

Ein von dem alarmauslösenden Sicherheits-Öberwachungsmodem angerufenes Gemeinschaftsmitglied bestätigt beispielsweise durch Betätigen einer Taste an seinem Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem den Empfang der Identifizierungsnachricht. Die programmierbare Steuereinrichtung leitet daraufhin automatisch den Aufbau einer Wählverbindung zu dem Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem ein, das die Identifizierungsnachricht ausgesendet, d. h. den Alarm ausgelöst hat. Gleichzeitig wird ein Quittierungssignal dorthin gesendet.One of the alarm triggers Security monitoring modem called Community member confirmed by, for example Pressing a button on his Security surveillance modem receiving the Identification message. The programmable The control device then automatically directs the body a dial-up connection to the security monitoring modem one that sends out the identification message, d. H. triggered the alarm. At the same time, a Acknowledgment signal sent there.

Um die übrigen Gemeinschaftsmitglieder nicht unnötig lang alarmiert zu halten , wählt die programmierbare Steuereinrichtung des alarmauslösenden Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems unter Ansprechen auf den Empfang des Quittierungssignals die in dem Speicher abgelegten Rufnummern der Gemeinschaftsmitglieder, die ebenfalls alarmiert worden sind, automatisch an und teilt ihnen mit, daß der Alarm bereits quittiert worden ist. In jedem Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem kann ein dritter Speicher vorgesehen sein, in dem für jeden Eingangsanschluß eine individuelle Alarmmeldung in Textform speicherbar ist, die dem erkennbaren Alarmzustand des an den jeweiligen Eingangsanschluß angeschalteten Detektors entspricht. Die Alarmmeldung kann im Alarmfall zusammen mit der Identifizierungsnachricht an die Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems der übrigen Gemeinschaftsmitglieder übertragen und dort auf einem Display ausgegeben werden.Not for the other community members keep alarmed for an unnecessarily long time programmable control device of the alarm triggering Security monitoring modems in response to the Receipt of the acknowledgment signal in the memory filed numbers of community members who have also been alerted, automatically and shares with them that the alarm has already been acknowledged. In each security monitoring modem can have a third Memory can be provided in the for each input port an individual alarm message can be saved in text form, the recognizable alarm status of the at the respective Corresponds to the connected input detector. The In the event of an alarm, the alarm message can be sent together with the Identification message to the Security monitoring modems of the rest Transfer community members and there on one Display.

Zusätzlich kann ein vierter Speicher zur Protokollierung aller abgehenden und ankommenden Meldungen während einer vorbestimmten Zeitspanne vorgesehen sein.In addition, a fourth memory can be used Logging of all outgoing and incoming messages be provided for a predetermined period of time.

Dank der Erfindung ist es möglich, beispielsweise die Grundstücke und Gebäude der zu einer Telegemeinschaft zusammengeschlossenen Personen effizient zu überwachen, ohne daß die Teilnehmer der Telegemeinschafts an eine zentrale Alarmstelle angeschlossen werden müssen.Thanks to the invention it is possible, for example the land and buildings of a tele-community efficiently monitor grouped people without the participants of the tele-community at a central alarm point must be connected.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels in Verbindung mit den beigefügten Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 2 ein vereinfachtes Blockschaltbild eines Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems, das für den Einsatz in der Telegemeinschafts-Alarmanlage nach Fig. 1 geeignet ist.
  • The invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 shows the basic structure of a telecommunal alarm system according to the invention, which can connect three security monitoring modems with one another via a switching center, and
  • Fig. 2 is a simplified block diagram of a security monitoring modem, which is suitable for use in the telecommunal alarm system according to Fig. 1.
  • In Fig. 1 ist eine beispielhafte, allgemein mit 5 bezeichnete Telegemeinschafts-Alarmanlage für drei Telegemeinschafts-Mitglieder -nachfolgend Gemeinschaftsmitglieder genannt- dargestellt. Die Telegemeinschafts-Alarmanlage 5 umfaßt drei Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems 10, 50 und 60, die beispielhaft in drei getrennten Häusern installiert sind. Eine bestimmte örtliche Nähe der Häuser zueinander ist zwar nicht erforderlich, aber durchaus sinnvoll. Jedes Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10, 50 und 60 ist über eine Teilnehmeranschlußeinrichtung, im vorliegenden Fall eine analoge TAE-Steckdose 30, an eine Vermittlungsstelle 40 eines Telekommunikationsnetzes angeschaltet. Selbstverständlich kann die Anschaltung der Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems auch über eine digitale Anschlußeinheit an das Telekommunikationsnetz erfolgen. Wie Fig. 1 zeigt, ist an jedes Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10, 50 und 60 lediglich ein Detektor oder Alarmgeber 20, 70 bzw. 80 angeschaltet. Zweckmäßigerweise sind die Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems zum Anschalten von bis zu vier Alarmgebern konzipiert. Selbstverständlich können im Bedarfsfall beliebig viele Alarmgeber 20 angeschaltet werden. Lediglich zu Zwecken der Erläuterung ist nur ein einziger Alarmgeber 20, 70, 80 an jedes Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10, 50 bzw. 60 angeschaltet.1 is an exemplary one, generally 5 designated telecommunal alarm system for three Telecommunal Members - following Community members called - shown. The Telecommunal alarm system 5 comprises three Security monitoring modems 10, 50 and 60 that are installed in three separate houses as examples. There is a certain local proximity of the houses to each other not necessary, but quite reasonable. Each Security monitoring modem 10, 50 and 60 is over one Subscriber connection facility, in the present case a analog TAE socket 30, to an exchange 40 switched on a telecommunications network. Of course, the connection of the Security monitoring modems also via a digital Connection unit to the telecommunications network. How Fig. 1 shows is attached to each security monitoring modem 10, 50 and 60, only one detector or alarm device 20, 70 or 80 switched on. These are expediently Safety monitoring modems for switching on up to four alarm devices. Of course, in If necessary, any number of alarm devices 20 switched on become. For explanation purposes only, is only one only alarm 20, 70, 80 to each Security monitoring modem 10, 50 or 60 switched on.

    Fig. 2 zeigt in vereinfachter Form das Blockschaltbild des in Fig. 1 dargestellten Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems 10, welches über eine Schnittstelle 130 an ein Telekommunikationsnetz anschaltbar ist. Es sei angemerkt, daß alle Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems im wesentlichen gleich aufgebaut sind. Das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10 weist beispielsweise vier Eingangsanschlüsse 90, 91, 92, 93 auf, an die jeweils ein Detektor 20 bzw. Alarmgeber anschaltbar ist. Im vorliegenden Fall ist lediglich an den Eingangsanschluß 90 der Detektor 20 angeschaltet. Wie weiter unten noch ausführlicher beschrieben wird, dient der Detektor 20 beispielsweise dazu, einen Glasbruch zu melden. Ein weiterer Eingangsanschluß 94 ist zum Anschalten einer Sabotageleitung, mit der beispielsweise der Detektor 20 überwacht und damit das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10 gegen mutwillige Störungen geschützt werden kann. Auf diese Weise ist es auch möglich, einen Alarm-Signalmelder 150, insbesondere eine Sirene oder eine Rundumleuchte 150, die an einen Ausgang 140 anschaltbar ist, gegen mutwillige Störung zu überwachen. Das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10 weist einen ersten Speicher 100 auf, in den die Rufnummern der beiden übrigen Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems 50 und 60, d. h. der beiden übrigen Gemeinschaftsmitglieder, gespeichert sind. Ein zweiter Speicher 110 enthält eine Nachricht zur Identifizierung des Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems 10 bzw. des Gemeinschaftsmitglieds. Die Identifizierungsnachricht umfaßt beispielsweise die Rufnummer des Gemeinschaftsmitgliedes, bei dem das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10 installiert ist. Darüber hinaus kann die Identifizierungsnachricht den Namen und die Adresse des jeweiligen Gemeinschaftsmitglieds enthalten. In einem dritten Speicher 160 kann eine individuelle Alarmmeldung in Textform gespeichert werden, die dem Alarmzustand entspricht, der vom Detektor 20 erfaßbar ist. Im vorliegenden Beispiel ist im Speicher 160 daher die Alarmmeldung "Glasbruch" abgelegt. Sind an den übrigen Eingangsanschlüssen 91 bis 93 Detektoren angeschlossen, dann können im Speicher 160 die entsprechenden individuellen Alarmmeldungen in Textform abgespeichert sein. Jede im Speicher 160 abgelegte Alarmmeldung ist in eindeutiger Weise einem der Eingangsanschlüsse 90-93 zugeordnet. Es sei noch angemerkt, daß alle Eingangsanschlüsse 90 bis 94 als Schließer oder Öffner programmierbar sind. Dies bedeutet beispielsweise, daß der Detektor 20, der an dem als Schließer programmierten Eingangsanschluß 90 angeschlossen ist, einen Alarmzustand meldet, wenn die überwachte Schleife infolge eines Glasbruchs unterbrochen wird. Im Gegensatz dazu meldet ein Detektor, der an einem als Öffner programmierten Eingangsanschluß angeschaltet ist, einen Alarmzustand, wenn die überwachte Schleife geschlossen wird. In einem mit 170 bezeichneten vierten Speicher, der als sogenannter Protokollspeicher dient, werden alle abgehenden und an dem Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10 ankommenden Meldungen innerhalb einer vorbestimmten Zeitspanne, vorteilhafterweise während 24 Stunden, aufgezeichnet. Jedes Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10, 50, 60 kann ein LCD-Display, mehrere akustische (z. B. einen internen Lautsprecher) und optische Anzeigeeinrichtungen (Leuchtdioden und Leuchtfelder zur Statusanzeige, die allesamt nicht dargestellt sind) aufweisen.Fig. 2 shows that in a simplified form Block diagram of the shown in Fig. 1 Security monitoring modem 10, which has a Interface 130 can be connected to a telecommunications network is. It should be noted that all Security monitoring modems essentially the same are built up. The security monitoring modem 10 has for example four input connections 90, 91, 92, 93, to which a detector 20 or alarm transmitter can be connected is. In the present case, only the Input terminal 90 of detector 20 turned on. How is described in more detail below, the Detector 20, for example, to report a broken glass. Another input terminal 94 is for turning on one Sabotage line with which, for example, the detector 20 monitors and thus the security monitoring modem 10 can be protected against willful disturbances. To this It is also possible to set up an alarm signaling device 150, in particular a siren or a beacon 150, the can be connected to an output 140, against wanton Monitor fault. The security monitoring modem 10 has a first memory 100, in which the phone numbers of the other two security monitoring modems 50 and 60, d. H. the other two community members, are saved. A second memory 110 contains one Message to identify the Security monitoring modem 10 or Community member. The identification message includes, for example, the number of the Community member where the Security monitoring modem 10 is installed. About that In addition, the identification message can include the name and the Address of the respective community member included. In a third memory 160 can be an individual Alarm messages can be saved in text form, which the Corresponds to the alarm state that can be detected by the detector 20. In the present example, the memory 160 therefore contains the Alarm message "broken glass" filed. Are on the rest Input connections 91 to 93 detectors connected, then the corresponding ones can be stored in the memory 160 individual alarm messages saved in text form his. Each alarm message stored in memory 160 is in clearly one of the input ports 90-93 assigned. It should be noted that all Input connections 90 to 94 as NO or NC contacts are programmable. This means, for example, that the Detector 20, which on the programmed as a closer Input terminal 90 is connected to an alarm condition reports when the monitored loop is the result of a Glass breakage is interrupted. In contrast, logs on Detector, which is programmed as a normally closed contact Input port is on, an alarm condition when the monitored loop is closed. In a fourth memory designated 170, which is called so-called log memory is used, all outgoing and arriving at the security monitoring modem 10 Reports within a predetermined period of time, advantageously recorded for 24 hours. Each Security monitoring modem 10, 50, 60 can be one LCD display, several acoustic (e.g. an internal Speakers) and optical indicators (LEDs and light fields for status display, the all are not shown).

    Die Arbeitsweise der erfindungsgemäßen Telegemeinschafts-Alarmanlage 5 wird nachfolgend näher erläutert. Lediglich der Einfachheit halber sei angenommen, daß die Telegemeinschaft aus drei Mitgliedern besteht, bei denen je ein Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10, 50 bzw. 60 installiert ist. Im vorliegenden Fall sei der Name des ersten Mitglieds F. Müller, wohnhaft in der Gartenstraße 17. Das zweite Mitglied heißt G. Stephan und wohnt in der Goethestraße 7. Das dritte Mitglied heißt A. Meier und wohnt in der Gartenstraße 22. Es sei weiter vorausgesetzt, daß das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10 bei dem Telegemeinschafts-Mitglied F. Müller, das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 50 bei dem Mitglied G. Stephan und das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 60 bei dem Mitglied A. Meier installiert sind. Im vorliegenden Beispiel sei angenommen, daß lediglich am Einganganschluß 90 der einen Glasbruch meldende Detektor 20 angeschlossen ist. Die Eingabe der Systemeinstellungen und die Programmierung jedes Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems kann vor Ort über eine nicht dargestellte Tastatur oder mit einem Terminalprogramm über einen extern anschaltbaren Computer erfolgen. Zweckmäßigerweise ist die Programmierung Passwort geschützt. Wie weiter unten noch ausführlicher erläutert wird, wird durch die Programmierung des Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems im wesentlichen festgelegt, an welchem der Eingangsanschlüsse 90 bis 93 ein Detektor angeschlossen ist, wie dieser sich verhält (als Schließer oder Öffner) und welche Rufnummern in welcher Reihenfolge zu wählen sind. Zur eindeutigen Identifizierung jedes Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems kann zusätzlich die entsprechende Rufnummer und gegebenenfalls die Vorwahl mit eingegeben werden. Das Telegemeinschafts-Mitglied F. Müller programmiert nun sein Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10 wie folgt: 1.) Der Eingangsanschluß 90, an dem der Detektor 20 angeschaltet ist, wird als Schließer programmiert. 2.) In den ersten Speicher 100 werden die beiden Rufnummern der übrigen Telegemeinschafts-Mitglieder einprogrammiert. Mit anderen Worten wird beispielsweise die Rufnummer 2233 für das Mitglied G. Stephan und die Rufnummer 4455 für das andere Mitglied A. Meier einprogrammiert, und zwar in dieser Reihenfolge. 3.) In den zweiten Speicher 110 schreibt F. Müller beispielsweise seine eigene Telefonnummer 1166, seine Anschrift - im vorliegenden Fall Gartenstraße 17 und/oder seinen Namen. 4.) In den dritten Speicher 160 wird die Alarmmeldung "Glasbruch" eingeschrieben, die eindeutig dem Eingangsanschluß 90 zugeordnet ist. Sind auch die übrigen Eingangsanschlüsse 91 bis 93 mit Detektoren abgeschlossen, können im Speicher 160 die Alarmmeldungen in Textform abgespeichert werden, die den Alarmzuständen (z.B. Türöffnung oder Grundstück betreten) des jeweiligen Detektors entsprechen. 5.) Mit Hilfe eines Schlüsselschalters habe F. Müller sein Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10 aktiviert. Je nach Implementierung führt das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem einen Gerätetest automatisch durch und zeigt gegebenenfalls die auftretenden Fehler auf dem LCD-Display an. Das zweite Mitglied G. Stephan schreibt in den ersten Speicher 100 seines Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems 50 die Rufnummer 1166 für F. Müller und die Rufnummer 4455 für das Mitglied A. Meier. Eine Vorwahlnummer muß nicht eingegeben werden, da die Gemeinschaftsmitglieder allesamt in demselben Ort wohnen. Der zweite Speicher 110 des Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems 50 enthält beispielsweise den Namen G. Stephan, die dazugehörige Rufnummer 2233 und die Anschrift Goethestraße 7. Im dritten Speicher 160 können wiederum die zu den jeweiligen angeschalteten Detektoren gehörenden Alarmmeldungen in Textform stehen. A. Meier, das dritte Telegemeinschafts-Mitglied, programmiert sein Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 60 derart, daß im ersten Speicher 100 die Rufnummer 1166 des Mitglieds F. Müller und die Telefonnummer 2233 des weiteren Mitglieds G. Stephan steht. Der zweite Speicher 110 enthält die eigene Identifikationsnachricht, d. h. den Namen A. Meier, die Telefonnummer 4455 und die Adresse , d.h.Gartenstraße 22. Wiederum kann der dritte Speicher 160 mit den entsprechenden Alarmmeldungen in Textform programmiert sein. Wir stellen uns nun das folgende Szenario vor, daß ein Eindringling eine Fensterscheibe der Wohnung des Mitglieds F. Müller eingeschlagen hat. Daraufhin wird die Sirene 150 oder eine Rundumleuchte aktiviert, die auf diese Weise akustisch bzw. optisch einen Einbruch signalisiert. Gleichzeitig meldet der Detektor 20 an die Steuereinrichtung 120 einen Glasbruch. Die Steuereinrichtung 120 ist beispielsweise derart programmiert, daß sie die beiden in dem Speicher 100 abgelegten Rufnummern der anderen Telegemeinschafts-Mitglieder in der angegebenen Reihenfolge, d.h. zuerst die Rufnummer 2233 und danach die Rufnummer 4455, automatisch anwählt. Mit anderen Worten baut das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10 nach der Signalisierung eines Glasbruchs durch den Detektor 20 sofort eine Wählverbindung zum Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 50 auf. Nach dem Herstellen der Wählverbindung sorgt die Steuereinrichtung 120 dafür, daß die im Speicher 110 abgelegte Identifikationsnachricht (diese umfaßt den Namen F. Müller, die Telefonnummer 1166 und die Gartenstraße 17) zusammen mit der im Speicher 160 abgelegten Alarmmeldung "Glasbruch" an das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 50 übertragen werden. Ein Lautsprecher im Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 50 alarmiert das Telegemeinschafts-Mitglied G. Stephan darüber, daß bei einem der Telegemeinschafts-Mitglieder eingebrochen worden ist. Auf einer LCD-Anzeige erscheint darüber hinaus gleichzeitig oder nacheinander die Identifikationsnachricht " F. Müller, Gartenstraße 17, Rufnummer 1166" sowie die Alarmmeldung "Glasbruch". Anschließend wählt das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10 die zweite, im Speicher 100 abgelegte Rufnummer 4455 des Telegemeinschafts-Mitglieds A. Meier an. Ist die Wählverbindung erst einmal hergestellt, werden wiederum die Identifikationsnachricht des Speichers 110 sowie die im Speicher 160 abgelegte Alarmmeldung an das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 60 übertragen. Auch hier erfolgt eine akustische und/oder optische Alarmmeldung sowie die Darstellung bzw. Anzeige der Identifikationsnachricht und der Alarmmeldung des Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems 10, das den Alarm ausgelöst hat. Es sei angenommen, daß das Mitglied G. Stephan den von dem Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10 ausgelösten Alarm zuerst wahrnimmt und die Alarmierung sofort bestätigt. Dazu kann er eine entsprechende Taste an seinem Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 50 betätigen. Das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 50 wählt unter Ansprechen auf das Betätigen der Taste automatisch die Rufnummer 1166 des Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems 10, das den Alarm ausgelöst hat, und überträgt, sobald eine Wählverbindung hergestellt worden ist, eine Quittierungsmeldung an das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10. Sollte jedoch der Versuch des Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems 50, die Alarmmeldung zu quittieren, fehlschlagen, wird auf der LCD-Anzeige die Meldung "Teilnehmer nicht erreicht" angezeigt. Dies kann beispielsweise dann der Fall sein, wenn das Mitglied A. Meier zuerst die Alarmmeldung an seinem Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 60 bestätigt hat und somit die Leitung zum Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10 bereits besetzt ist.
    Nach dem Empfang der Quittierungsmeldung vom Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 50 wählt das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10 die Rufnummer 4455 des Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems 60 an, welches zwar vom Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10 alarmiert, aber bisher noch keine Bestätigung der Alarmmeldung dorthin ausgesendet hat. Nach dem Aufbau der Wählverbindung überträgt das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10 die Meldung "Alarm wurde quittiert" zum Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 60. Nachdem nunmehr das Mitglied G. Stephan über den Einbruch bei F. Müller alarmiert worden ist, kann dieser die erforderlichen Maßnahmen ergreifen, indem er z. B. die Polizei benachrichtigt. Nachdem das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 10 die Entwarnungsmeldung an das Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodem 60 übermittelt hat, kehrt es automatisch in seine Betriebsbereitschaft zurück. Im Fall einer weiteren Alarmerfassung des Detektors 20 wird die obengenannte Prozedur erneut durchgeführt.
    The operation of the telecommunal alarm system 5 according to the invention is explained in more detail below. Just for the sake of simplicity, it is assumed that the telecommunications community consists of three members, each with a security monitoring modem 10, 50 or 60 installed. In the present case, the name of the first member is F. Müller, residing at Gartenstrasse 17. The second member is G. Stephan and lives at Goethestrasse 7. The third member is A. Meier and lives at Gartenstrasse 22. It is further provided that the security surveillance modem 10 is installed on the member F. Müller, the security surveillance modem 50 is installed on the member G. Stephan and the security surveillance modem 60 is installed on the member A. Meier. In the present example it is assumed that the detector 20 which reports a glass break is only connected to the input connection 90. The system settings can be entered and each security monitoring modem can be programmed on site using a keyboard (not shown) or with a terminal program using an externally connectable computer. The programming is expediently password protected. As will be explained in more detail below, the programming of the security monitoring modem essentially determines to which of the input connections 90 to 93 a detector is connected, how it behaves (as a make contact or a break contact) and which numbers to dial in which order are. To uniquely identify each security monitoring modem, the corresponding phone number and, if applicable, the area code can also be entered. The telecommunications community member F. Müller now programs his security monitoring modem 10 as follows: 1.) The input connection 90, to which the detector 20 is switched on, is programmed as a make contact. 2.) In the first memory 100, the two numbers of the other members of the telecommunication community are programmed. In other words, for example, the number 2233 for the member G. Stephan and the number 4455 for the other member A. Meier are programmed, in that order. 3.) F. Müller writes, for example, his own telephone number 1166, his address - in the present case Gartenstrasse 17 and / or his name - in the second memory 110. 4.) The alarm message "broken glass" is written into the third memory 160 and is clearly assigned to the input connection 90. If the other input connections 91 to 93 are also closed with detectors, the alarm messages can be stored in the memory 160 in text form, which correspond to the alarm states (eg entering the door or property) of the respective detector. 5.) With the help of a key switch, F. Müller activated his security monitoring modem 10. Depending on the implementation, the safety monitoring modem automatically carries out a device test and shows the errors that may occur on the LCD display. The second member G. Stephan writes the number 1166 for F. Müller and the number 4455 for member A. Meier in the first memory 100 of his security monitoring modem 50. An area code is not required because the community members all live in the same place. The second memory 110 of the security monitoring modem 50 contains, for example, the name G. Stephan, the associated call number 2233 and the address Goethestrasse 7. In the third memory 160, the alarm messages associated with the respective connected detectors can again be in text form. A. Meier, the third member of the telecommunications community, programs his security monitoring modem 60 in such a way that the first memory 100 contains the number 1166 of the member F. Müller and the telephone number 2233 of the other member G. Stephan. The second memory 110 contains its own identification message, ie the name A. Meier, the telephone number 4455 and the address, ieGartenstraße 22. Again, the third memory 160 can be programmed in text form with the corresponding alarm messages. We now imagine the following scenario where an intruder broke a window in member F. Müller's apartment. Then the siren 150 or an all-round light is activated, which signals a break-in acoustically or optically in this way. At the same time, the detector 20 reports a broken glass to the control device 120. The control device 120 is programmed, for example, in such a way that it automatically dials the two phone numbers of the other telegemunity members stored in the memory 100 in the order specified, ie first the phone number 2233 and then the phone number 4455. In other words, the security monitoring modem 10 immediately establishes a dial-up connection to the security monitoring modem 50 after the glass 20 is signaled by the detector 20. After the dial-up connection has been established, the control device 120 ensures that the identification message stored in the memory 110 (this includes the name F. Müller, the telephone number 1166 and Gartenstrasse 17) together with the alarm message "broken glass" stored in the memory 160 to the security Monitoring modem 50 are transmitted. A loudspeaker in the security monitoring modem 50 alerts the telegovernment member G. Stephan that one of the telegovernment members has been broken into. In addition, the identification message "F. Müller, Gartenstraße 17, call number 1166" and the alarm message "Glass breakage" appear on an LCD display simultaneously or in succession. The security monitoring modem 10 then dials the second number 4455, stored in the memory 100, of the telecommunications community member A. Meier. Once the dial-up connection has been established, the identification message of the memory 110 and the alarm message stored in the memory 160 are in turn transmitted to the security monitoring modem 60. Here, too, there is an acoustic and / or visual alarm message and the representation or display of the identification message and the alarm message from the security monitoring modem 10 which triggered the alarm. It is assumed that the member G. Stephan first perceives the alarm triggered by the security monitoring modem 10 and immediately confirms the alarm. To do this, he can press a corresponding button on his security monitoring modem 50. The security monitoring modem 50 automatically dials the number 1166 of the security monitoring modem 10 that triggered the alarm in response to the actuation of the key and transmits an acknowledgment message to the security monitoring modem 10 as soon as a dial-up connection has been established, however If the attempt by the security monitoring modem 50 to acknowledge the alarm message fails, the message "subscriber not reached" is displayed on the LCD display. This can be the case, for example, when member A. Meier has first confirmed the alarm message on his security monitoring modem 60 and the line to the security monitoring modem 10 is thus already busy.
    After receiving the acknowledgment message from the security monitoring modem 50, the security monitoring modem 10 dials the number 4455 of the security monitoring modem 60, which, although it has alarmed from the security monitoring modem 10, has not yet sent any confirmation of the alarm message there. After the dial-up connection has been set up, the security monitoring modem 10 transmits the message “alarm has been acknowledged” to the security monitoring modem 60. Now that the member G. Stephan has been alerted to the intrusion at F. Müller, the latter can take the necessary measures by he z. B. notifies the police. After the security monitoring modem 10 has transmitted the all-clear message to the security monitoring modem 60, it automatically returns to its operational readiness. In the event of a further alarm detection by the detector 20, the above-mentioned procedure is carried out again.

    Es ist überflüssig zu erwähnen, daß die obenbeschriebene Prozedur nur Ablaufen kann, wenn die an das Telekommunikationsnetz angeschalteten Sicherheits-Überwachungsmodems 10, 50 und 60 tatsächlich auch aktiviert sind.Needless to say, the The procedure described above can only run if the on switched on the telecommunications network Security monitoring modems 10, 50 and 60 actually are also activated.
