Description

Security system with integrated emergency call function

The present invention relates to a

Security system with integrated emergency call function for an apartment, a single or multiple dwelling, or even for social facilities such as homes or hospitals.

Such security systems with emergency call function are usually based on an infrared motion detector and a timer and are used, for example, to allow older people as long as possible independent living, but to give them help in the event of an emergency. In this case, the motion detector signal triggers the expiration of a preset time interval in the timer, and if during this time interval no further motion detector signal is added, that is too long inactivity of the

Resident occurs, then lapsing of the timer interval preset in the timer triggers the discontinuation of a

Emergency call.

To work safely, such must be

Security systems meet many requirements and

For example, with regard to the detection of movement as accurately as possible between the movement of a person and that of a pet or, for example, a draft in a curtain differ. Basically, however, are the used

Motion detectors are unable to provide a qualitative

Differentiation of the movement type.

To avoid false alarms is in a system for

Representation of the activity of a person in the

Patent Publication US 2007/0152873 Al proposes a variety of different sensors, e.g. Print-,

Contact, closing, door and drawer sensors and motion detectors to integrate into the system and so the

Security or rather the reliability on the signal too increase, which is to trigger the timer and ultimately the emergency call.

A similar approach is followed in EP 1 585 077 A2 in that motion detectors trigger a processor which makes a query for further motion detection.

However, a disadvantage of both systems is that each

Movement or each sensor signal has a consequence in the system and at no time is a qualitative detection or measurement of the signal-generating cause.

Another disadvantage of known security systems is that they are relatively uneconomical because they must be constantly fed with the required operating voltage.

The object of the present invention is under

To avoid the above-mentioned disadvantages to provide a security system with integrated emergency call function, in which the

Detecting a movement and the energy supply are optimized. In addition, the security system should include numerous additional functions in addition to the emergency call function.

The solution of the problem is initially in the

Selection of a motion detection system, which is preferably microprocessor-based and performs a distance measurement by means of at least one distance sensor. This system according to the invention is capable of changing a

predetermined distance setpoint value to a new distance actual value or the change of a distance-first actual value to a new distance-second actual value to capture and thereby set off a device internal (delta of) distance measurement signal (s).

According to a simplest basic design variant of a security system according to the invention, which essentially comprises only the distance sensor and a timer, the Distance measurement signal from the distance sensor used to turn on the timer.

However, the distance measurement signal can preferably also to a built-in device microprocessor or

MicroControllers are forwarded, in which continue

according to the invention and according to a preferred

Design variant, a threshold is entered. This threshold is preferably set so that only when the absolute value of the distance measurement signal it

exceeds the trigger signal to the timer through the

Microprocessor is output.

The determination of the threshold value can

For example, carried out empirically and is preferably adaptable or correctable to any special local conditions. In the end, in any case, according to the invention, one takes place in real time by the microprocessor

Distinction between minor, negligible

Distance measurement signals (movement of objects, pets, etc.) and those that are reliable trigger, for example, because a person has been detected by the distance sensors or the.

An inventive security system can for the

Distance measurement include one or more distance sensors, all common types of distance sensors come into consideration. It can light or laser-based signals are emitted, but also infrared or terahertz radiation, radio, microwaves or ultrasound. Capacitive or inductive

Distance measurements are basically also considered, although it could be more difficult to provide the required voltage or power supply for this purpose. Another way of distance measurement can be done by means of one or more electronic cameras or one or more CCDs, the or the parallax shift or the recorded different stereo images.

As already mentioned, preferably the

Microprocessor, when the absolute value of the distance measurement signal exceeds the predetermined threshold in the microprocessor, a trigger signal from to turn on the timer. Preferably, by means of the same microprocessor, a specific time interval can be set in this timer, which starts to run after the input of the distance measurement signal. If the set time interval completely expires, ie the suspected inactivity in the room in question is suspiciously long, then the microprocessor sets off a sensor-side alarm signal. If a new distance measurement signal is received during the started expiration of the set time interval, then this process is interrupted and it begins the expiration of a full new.

The adjustable time interval does not have to be fixed, an algorithm-based dynamic adaptation of the same is preferred, for example on day and night, so that e.g. automatically run longer time intervals at night.

[0016] According to another, preferred

Embodiment variant of an inventive

Security system is connected to the at least one distance sensor at least one motion detector. At least one or more distance sensors and the motion detector (s) are preferably in a common housing of a device

housed, which is referred to in the following sensor device. All other modules, the microcontroller, the emergency call telephone, the power supply and other parts can in principle also be arranged in the housing of the sensor device, or else in a separate or external housing. The latter arrangement is particularly suitable when the security system should be designed for a whole building with a large number of rooms or apartments and the data of all sensor devices are collected centrally.

The motion detector k, ann basically a simple

Be light barrier or, for example, a passive

Infrared sensor. But there are also ultrasound-based

Motion detectors into consideration, or those with

Electromagnetic waves work (radars, Doppler radars or so-called bio-radars, which are designed to detect even the tiniest movements of a person, for example, the respiratory movements or the heart and / or pulse of a spilled person).

The motion detector uses according to the invention

Detecting any movement in the room in which it is located, but preferably only to one

Trigger signal to the microprocessor or the distance sensor output. A qualitative detection of the type of movement by the motion detector is omitted and takes place only by the distance measurement. This structure is preferred, but it would also be possible to evaluate both signals (distance and motion).

Nevertheless, in order to achieve a reliable sensitivity, but also a certain selectivity by means of the motion detector, it is preferred that an inventive

Security system with a motion detector to equip, from its geometric definition and forth

optical elements is preferably arranged in approximate height switch in a range of 0.5 to 1.5 m, preferably about 1.1 m and further preferably each one

Speed detection, in which the motion detector

in terms of its performance preferably in a range of 0.1 to 3 m / s and is preferably 0.5 m / s. In this way, a secure detection of a person is guaranteed, a faster passing or jumping pet or even a flying fly is not detected.

The power supply of the distance sensor - and

Preferably also of the microprocessor - is preferably coupled to the trigger signal of the motion detector, that is, that the distance sensor - and preferably also the microprocessor - is not constantly powered, but only when it is set by the trigger signal of the motion detector in function. In this context, it is consistent to select a power-saving as possible motion detector and use it with the help only one of the security system einschaltendes or "make clear" detection signal.

In addition, it is preferable for the

Motion detector to provide a power-saving mode, from which it then changes to a normal voltage mode when a movement is registered or the time of the interval is exceeded.

It is further preferred that by means of

Microprocessor and / or a rotary, rotary slide switch or DIP switch different time intervals are manually adjustable, in addition to a further preferably arranged Ethernet or KNX interface. Farther preferably fixed preset time intervals are selectable, depending on the room in which the distance measurement is to take place, for example, a time interval bedroom, a time interval living room or a time interval bathroom. Furthermore, it is provided that the adjustment of the time interval is mechanically or / and electronically secured against accidental adjustment.

Optionally, the setting of the time interval or the operation of all other functions of a

Safety system according to the invention also with a

Ethernet or token ring-based interface, with the common communication protocols 6Lowpan, TCPIP, MQTT, etc. or multiple or all types of communication. The

Setting the time interval, but also the triggering and monitoring of all functions of the safety system can be done in this way, also from the outside.

For all configuration modes of a

Security system according to the invention, it is provided by means of a timeout circuit that it is too long

Normal operation falls back, which is the original one Configuration corresponds.

In a security system according to the invention, appropriate switches and corresponding software for switching the security system into an absence or vacation mode are preferably provided. In this mode, the distance sensor (s) or the motion detector (s) or all sensors are disabled and preferably also the timer (s). To the security system after returning from the

On the one hand, it is possible to provide displays which, preferably acoustically as well as visually cyclically, indicate that the security system is in the absence or absence mode.

Holiday mode is. This will alert the returning person to turn the security system back on.

On the other hand, it may be provided to feed at least one or more motion detectors with a sleep mode voltage and so the security system automatically at a

Motion detection from the absence or vacation mode back to normal operation "up." For a

Embodiment variant of an inventive

Security system with such an automatic downshift from the absence or holiday mode, it is provided that the audible and visual displays for a certain period of time deliver a warning signal can be acknowledged. In this way, it is ensured that a cleaner or a flowers pouring neighbor is advised that

Security system after completion of his work again in the absence or vacation mode to switch.

The switch to the absence or vacation mode is preferably carried out with a timer

Time delay, so that a movement of the departing person is not already considered a downshift signal in the Normal mode is interpreted.

Not only the above-described warning signal is preferably acknowledged by means of a confirmation switch, but also all other alarm signals of the security system, both the sensor-side alarm signal, as well

telephone side, that is the actual discontinuation of the emergency call. This feature is designed to stop any false alarms, but also to stop the alarm after the rescuer has arrived.

Furthermore, in an inventive

Distance sensor, timer, software and emergency phone. The self-test function is preferably arranged so that the data of a faulty self-test or at least the fact that a self-test went wrong, as

Error log can be stored in a fault memory. This error memory is furthermore preferably readable by means of an external diagnostic device, which can be connected to a diagnostic connection, which in turn is preferably arranged on that housing in which the microcontroller is accommodated. Furthermore, the state of the fault memory

The stored error continues to serve

according to the invention also for issuing an emergency call in a subsequent, again faulty self-test, preferably with an identification that it is a technical emergency and no personal emergency. If the subsequent or, for reasons of redundancy, several of the following self-tests have proceeded without error, then it may optionally be provided that the stored error is automatically deleted.

The internal circuits and the software are preferably configured or separated such that the

automatic self-tests can not interrupt normal operation. It's just an optical or

acoustic display, which indicates the currently taking place of the self-test. Furthermore, it is provided that automatically starts a self-test after each restart, for example, at startup and after a

Battery or battery change or power failure.

As already mentioned, an inventive

Security system An emergency telephone or integrated telephone unit that is switched so that the sensor-side alarm triggers the dialing of ring-stored emergency numbers. The triggering of the emergency call telephone is carried out according to the invention by means of a system-internal communication module. For this purpose, a conventional telephone line may be arranged, or a

radio-based transmission module, for example, an ELDAT communication module, or even a GSM, KNX or

Ethernet communication module or a combination of part of these communication modules or a combination of all. Such an intrinsic communication module does not necessarily have to be bidirectional, it suffices the unidirectional communication by means of a so-called simplex connection of the sensor-side alarm to the emergency phone, but it is preferred, too to realize this bidirectional in the form of a so-called duplex connection, so that when already triggered emergency call a so-called "Acknowledge" (a positive Rückbestätigungs- signal) of the emergency phone stops the repeated deposition of the sensor-side alarm.

The telephone unit is preferably capable of unsuccessful e.g. on an answering machine received calls z \ recognize, for example by an acknowledgment signal is readable.

To increase the transmission reliability between the respective intrinsic communication module and the emergency call telephone, a timer circuit can be arranged in the case of a simplex connection, which sets in motion a redundant repetition of the sensor-side alarm to the emergency call telephone until An acknowledgment is made on the emergency telephone.

In a security system according to the invention, the so-called marriage takes place between sensors and

Emergency telephone preferably with a specific

Identification coded. That is, the respective

Communication module sends its own, specific frequency and / or identifier and the respective receiving module on the emergency call this must first train them to be logically connected to each other. For this are both to the

Communication modules of the sensors, as well as on the emergency call buttons arranged to the teach-in function too

activate. In this way, it is ensured that signals from a neighboring security system or other signals do not lead to an unwanted triggering of a telephone emergency call alarm.

Optionally, it may be in an inventive

Security system be provided that the respective Sendebzw. Transmission modules of the communication interfaces the For example, send out by the respective receiving module frequency or / and identifier during the activated teach-in function only intermittently in pulses. The respective receiving module is programmed to learn the one hand, the frequency and / or identifier, but on the other hand, this only exclusively from the stosially sent in pulses, to be learned frequency and / or identifier. Otherwise, when installing a new security system, you would be forced to ensure that security systems in range are switched off or that there are no other signals that could be incorrectly learned by the receiving module of the emergency call telephone.

An inventive security system can am

Power supply connected, but preferably has a power supply by means of one or more batteries or by means of one or more batteries. Furthermore, according to the invention, a circuit is arranged in the safety system, for example with a voltage regulator or detector, which monitors the battery or battery voltage. In this circuit, a minimum voltage is entered as a switching threshold, wherein when approaching the input minimum voltage value or below it, the one or more timers are set to deposit an alarm. The issuing of the alarm is

preferably preceded by a visual and later acoustic warning signal Gebung, which takes place about 2-3 days before. Furthermore, a switch is preferably arranged, by means of which the customer has the opportunity to "hours out" the warning signal once by about 12 hours, for example, in the event that the voltage undershooting happens at night.

Optionally, it may be provided, the function of

Voltage check also to the timer to couple. In this way, voltage fluctuations, which the

Switching threshold only briefly fall short, still trigger no alarm, but only those that they have an adjustable Fall below the period.

Both the sensor-side, quasi device or

system-internal alarm, as well as the telephone side emergency alarm, further have according to the invention a pre-alarm pre-stage, the customer or service personnel a receipt or

Intervention option exists. For this purpose, optical and acoustic signal transmitters are preferably arranged on the device for the respective alarm and in each case a corresponding one

Direct key that immediately stops the respective alarm. This direct key can be secured with a mechanical lock. For the acknowledgment or intervention possibility, a circuit is preferably arranged to the timer, which starts the expiry of a time interval, within which the pre-alarm

can be acknowledged. If this time interval expires without acknowledgment, then the full sensor or telephone alarm is switched.

A security system according to the invention preferably comprises at least one non-volatile memory for storing the functional or system-relevant data such as the set time interval, configuration data of the distance sensor and the motion detector, the communication interfaces, the emergency call telephone, the alarm sequences, etc .. ,

Security system are preferably made of plastic or metal but formed and designed so that they meet the protection class IP 20, but preferably at least the protection class IP 24 (splash-proof in humid areas). The housing may have an upper-lower mark, so that the fitter gets a mounting instruction and does not place a possible battery compartment above the electronics. The

Battery compartment preferably forms a trough, which is the

Leakage of battery fluid prevented. Furthermore, the housing preferably has a surface or edge pairs which during assembly for exact alignment of the sensors, a spirit level can be applied. Furthermore, the housing

Language can confirm or has collapsed, but can still speak and this in turn is confirmed or accident, is at home and can not speak anymore.

[0060] The power supply of an inventive

Regarding security systems, be it the one with an emergency call telephone unit or the one with a GSM module, basically self-sufficient battery power supplies are preferred

Power cable to avoid. If an Ethernet connection is provided, then a PoE (Power over Ethernet) power supply can also be considered. Concerning the power requirements of the LAN module, a so-called low-power LAN is preferred, which, for example, in a standby mode only periodically reduces transmission and only when a request to the full transmission power starts up.
