  • a signaling device such as a neighborhood warning siren and / or a remote warning telephone transmitter.
  • the present invention aims to combine such systems in order to improve the safety and comfort of people in their home, especially elderly people with reduced mobility.
  • the present invention relates to a method of operating a security system comprising a warning device triggered by a control member, an activation member of a signaling device and a means for unlocking an electrically operated lock.
  • the method according to the invention consists in: activating a delay member when the control member is requested in order to initiate a delay delay (T1), - activating the means for unlocking the lock when said activation member is requested during the time delay (T1), and to inhibit the signaling device during the aforementioned time delay (T1) so that this signaling device can only be activated if said activation member is requested outside time delay (T1).
  • a new delay time (T1) can preferably be triggered only after a safety delay has elapsed (T3) following either an earlier time delay (T1) previously engaged when said activation member has not been pressed during the time delay (T1), or upon activation of the unlocking means of the lock when said activation member has been requested during the time delay (T1).
  • the method preferably consists in prolonging the inhibition of the signaling device during a protection delay (T2) following either an earlier delay delay started (T1) when said activation member has not not been requested during the delay time (T1), that is to say upon activation of the unlocking means of the lock when said activation member was requested during the delay time (T1).
  • the aforementioned protection period (T2) is less than the aforementioned security period (T3).
  • the method can advantageously consist in activating said warning device according to a different operating mode and / or in activating said unlocking means when a complementary control member is requested.
  • the signaling device can advantageously be able to activate said unlocking means after being pressed.
  • a security system 1 intended to be installed and used by one or more people living in a home.
  • This security system 1 comprises a warning device 2 comprising for example a chime 2a, placed inside the home, associated with an external control member 3 provided with an external push button 3a.
  • the external control button 3a is placed near a door 4 for access to the home.
  • This door 4 is provided with an electrically controlled lock 5, for example with an electromagnet which comprises an unlocking means 6 actuating this electromagnet.
  • the security system 1 also comprises a device 7 for signaling or calling for help, which may for example consist of a siren placed outside the home and / or a telephone transmitter for transmitting a message d call for help connected to the public telephone network to remotely notify one or more correspondents or a surveillance or rescue center.
  • a device 7 for signaling or calling for help which may for example consist of a siren placed outside the home and / or a telephone transmitter for transmitting a message d call for help connected to the public telephone network to remotely notify one or more correspondents or a surveillance or rescue center.
  • the safety device 1 also comprises a portable box 8, such as a medallion, or any object capable of being easily carried by a person.
  • This portable box 8 contains an electronic circuit 9 supplied for example by a battery 10 and is provided with an activation member 11 such as a push button connected to the electronic circuit 9.
  • the aforementioned components of the security system 1 comprise electronic circuits provided with radio transmitters and / or receivers so that they can be connected and thus communicate with each other by radio means by exchanging specifically coded radio signals.
  • the external control member 3 is connected by radio to the electronic circuit 9 of the portable unit 8 and the latter is connected by radio by means of unlocking 6 of the door 4, to the warning device 2 and to the device. signaling 7, the portable box 8 thus playing the role of a central.
  • the electronic circuit 9 of the portable unit 8 is programmed to recognize the radio signal emitted by the external control member 3 by comparison with an expected signal contained in a code memory C1 and is programmed to manage control orders as will be described later.
  • the electronic circuit 9 of the portable unit 8 is also adapted to be subjected to a delay time T1, a protection time T2 and a safety time T3 of a duration greater than the time T2, these times preferably being adjustable by for example potentiometers 12, 13 and 14 included in the portable box 8.
  • the security system 1 which has just been described can, in one example, be programmed to operate in the following manner.
  • the electronic circuit 9 emits a radio signal 15 which, being received and understood by the signaling device 7, activates the latter for send a signal 16 for help.
  • this siren is activated and in the case of a telephone transmitter, this telephone transmitter is activated so as to automatically take a telephone line to at least one particular call number and transmit a message 'call for help.
  • this member 3 When the button 3a of the external control member 3 is pressed by a person placed outside the home, this member 3 emits a radio signal 17 which, being received and understood by the electronic circuit 9 of the portable housing 8, activates the delay time T1 and sends a signal to the warning device 2 to activate the chime 2a according to the reference 18.
  • the electronic circuit 9 of the portable unit 8 emits a signal which, being received by the warning device 2, deactivates the chime 2a and the electronic circuit 9 activates the safety delay T2 and the delay protection T3.
  • any new pressing of the button 3a of the external control member 3 is not taken into account by the electronic circuit 9 of the portable unit 8 .
  • the person provided with the portable box 8 requests the activation member 11 of this box during the time delay T1 according to the reference 19, namely after a period t, his electronic circuit 9 emits a radio signal which , being received and understood by the unlocking means 6, causes the unlocking of the electric lock 5 according to the reference 20. The outside person is then authorized to enter the home.
  • the electronic circuit 9 of this box triggers the protection time T2 and the security time T3.
  • FIG. 5 it can be seen that the case of FIG. 3 has been shown, in which however the activation member 11 of the portable housing 8 is requested after the delay time T1 but before the end of the time limit security T3.
  • the electronic circuit 9 of the portable box 8 emits a command signal from the signaling device 7 to call to help as in the case described with reference to figure 2.
  • any request from the activation member 11 of the portable unit 8 generates activation of the signaling or call-out device using 7.
  • any further pressing of this button is inhibited for a period equal at most to the addition of the delay time T1 and the safety time T3.
  • the duration of this inhibition is equal to the addition of the aforementioned duration t and the safety delay T3.
  • any activation of the signaling and call for help device 7 is inhibited for a period equal at most to the addition of the delay time T1 and the time delay T2 protection.
  • the duration of this inhibition is equal to the addition of the aforementioned duration t and the T2 safety delay.
  • a security system 21 different from the security system 1 which has just been described by the fact that it comprises on the one hand a central station 22 fixed and d 'other hand a portable housing 23, such as a medallion, capable of being easily worn by a person as was the portable housing 8 and connected by radio to the central 22, this central 22 and the portable housing 23 being functionally equivalent to the portable box 8.
