Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUE DE L'INVENTIONTECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

La présente invention vise un dispositif de configuration d'un système de détection d'incendie. Elle s'applique notamment à la sécurisation de sites publics et privés.The present invention is directed to a device for configuring a fire detection system. It applies in particular to the securing of public and private sites.

ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUESTATE OF THE ART

La sécurisation de sites privés ou publics contre le risque d'incendie passe par une détection efficace de ce risque. Afin de détecter un risque d'incendie, on déploie par exemple un ensemble de capteurs de fumée sur un site. Ces capteurs mesurent une quantité de fumée dans l'air ambiant qu'ils comparent à une valeur limite et émettent un signal sonore en cas de dépassement, par exemple. Dans le but de qualifier un système déployé de sûr, on doit réaliser une vérification avec les pompiers de l'efficacité du système. Pour réaliser cette vérification, on place un certain nombre de foyers types à proximité des capteurs et on observe si les capteurs détectent bien ces foyers. Cependant, en cas de non détection, le diagnostic est imprécis car il se limite au fait que le détecteur n'a pas détecté le foyer type.Securing private or public sites against the risk of fire requires effective detection of this risk. In order to detect a risk of fire, for example, a set of smoke sensors is deployed on a site. These sensors measure a quantity of smoke in the ambient air that they compare to a limit value and emit an audible signal in the event of an overrun, for example. In order to qualify a deployed system from safe, one must conduct a check with firefighters of the effectiveness of the system. To carry out this verification, a number of typical foci are placed near the sensors and it is observed whether the sensors detect these foci well. However, in case of non-detection, the diagnosis is imprecise because it is limited to the fact that the detector did not detect the typical focus.

Au-delà de l'installation, les couts et l'efficacité de la maintenance dépendent également d'un tel diagnostic.Beyond installation, the costs and effectiveness of maintenance also depend on such a diagnosis.

Les systèmes actuels ont l'inconvénient d'avoir un diagnostic trop limité des causes de dysfonctionnement d'un capteur.Current systems have the disadvantage of having a too limited diagnosis of the causes of malfunction of a sensor.

Il existe, dans le domaine technique de la détection de présence d'individus, des systèmes tels qu'envisagés dans la demande de brevet EP0872817 . Ces systèmes permettent la configuration de paramètres d'un détecteur de présence d'individu.There are, in the technical field of detecting the presence of individuals, systems as envisaged in the patent application. EP0872817 . These systems allow the configuration of parameters of an individual presence detector.

Il existe également des systèmes tels qu'envisagés dans la demande de brevet US2012154141 dans lesquels un terminal portable règle, par transmission sans-fil et via un panneau central de contrôle, la sensibilité d'un capteur d'incendie, ce capteur communicant de manière filaire sa mesure au panneau central de commande.There are also systems as envisaged in the patent application US2012154141 wherein a portable terminal adjusts, by wireless transmission and via a central control panel, the sensitivity of a fire sensor, the sensor wired communicating its measurement to the central control panel.

DESCRIPTION D'EXEMPLES DE REALISATION DE L'INVENTIONDESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

On note, dès à présent, que les figures ne sont pas à l'échelle.As of now, we note that the figures are not to scale.

On rappelle ici que la configuration d'un logiciel, d'un matériel, ou d'un réseau informatique est un ensemble de caractéristiques techniques qui ne dépendent pas du constructeur mais découlent des choix de l'acheteur et de l'utilisateur. Des caractéristiques qui sont donc susceptibles de différer largement même pour des objets de construction identique.It is recalled here that the configuration of a software, a hardware, or a computer network is a set of technical characteristics that do not depend on the manufacturer but arise from the choices of the buyer and the user. Features that are likely to differ widely even for objects of identical construction.

Dans le cadre de la présente invention, la configuration concerne la configuration logicielle, qui découle principalement de la manière dont le système de fichiers est organisé par l'utilisateur, des logiciels implantés ainsi que de leur version. La configuration logicielle comporte aussi la fixation de la valeur des paramètres de configuration qui permettent d'adapter leur comportement à la configuration matérielle, logicielle et réseau du système informatique dans lequel le logiciel est implanté.In the context of the present invention, the configuration relates to the software configuration, which stems mainly from the way the file system is organized by the user, implanted software as well as their version. The software configuration also includes setting the value of the configuration parameters that make it possible to adapt their behavior to the hardware, software and network configuration of the computer system in which the software is installed.

Préférentiellement, dans les modes de réalisation du dispositif objet de la présente invention, la configuration comporte :

  • au moins une valeur limite de valeur d'un signal représentatif d'une grandeur physique (chaleur, gaz, fumée ou autres particules en suspension, par exemple) au-delà de laquelle un incendie, ou au moins un danger, est considéré comme détecté ;
  • au moins une puissance d'amplification de signal d'alerte, de signal sonore ou visuel, de signal transmis à distance, sans fil et/ou de signal reçu de la part d'un autre système ; et/ou
  • une localisation du détecteur, c'est-à-dire, le lieu où il se trouve, dans le site objet de la surveillance ou l'information représentant les détecteurs voisins de ce détecteur.
Preferably, in the embodiments of the device that is the subject of the present invention, the configuration comprises:
  • at least one value limit value of a signal representative of a physical quantity (for example heat, gas, smoke or other particles in suspension) beyond which a fire, or at least one hazard, is considered to be detected ;
  • at least one amplification power of warning signal, audible or visual signal, remotely transmitted signal, wireless and / or signal received from another system; and or
  • a location of the detector, that is to say, the place where it is located, in the site object of the surveillance or the information representing the neighboring detectors of this detector.

Les paramètres de configuration sont typiquement enregistrés dans des fichiers texte et modifiables par l'utilisateur à l'aide d'un logiciel courant de type éditeur de texte.Configuration parameters are typically stored in text files and editable by the user using common text editor software.

On qualifie de « communication sans fil à courte portée » une communication entre deux appareils dont les messages sont portés par des ondes dont la fréquence est supérieure à 3 MHz. De telles fréquences sont donc supérieures ou appartenant à la catégorie des hautes fréquences. La portée maximale de ces communications est en général inférieure à cent mètres.The term "short-range wireless communication" refers to a communication between two devices whose messages are carried by waves with a frequency greater than 3 MHz. Such frequencies are therefore higher or belonging to the category of high frequencies. The maximum range of these communications is generally less than one hundred meters.

Dans toute la description, on appelle, indifféremment utilisateur ou opérateur la personne qui manipule le terminal portable communiquant, quelle que soit sa fonction.Throughout the description, one calls, indifferently user or operator the person who manipulates the communicating portable terminal, whatever its function.

Each communicating mobile terminal 120 may be, for example, a tablet, a laptop or a smart phone. Each communicating mobile terminal 120 may further include an antenna configured to receive short-range communications. The message representative of the value of the displayed physical quantity may be, for example, the quantity or density of smoke sensed in the ambient air by a sensor 110.

Dans des modes de réalisation, le terminal 120 portable communiquant communique aussi, sans fil et à courte portée avec une centrale d'alarme 130, lorsque la distance entre le terminal 120 et la centrale 130 est suffisamment courte. Comme exposé plus loin, cette communication permet à la centrale 130 de connaître les valeurs de paramètre utilisées par les détecteurs 105.In embodiments, the communicating portable terminal 120 also communicates wirelessly and at close range with an alarm center 130 when the distance between the terminal 120 and the central unit 130 is sufficiently short.
