Description

The present invention relates to a wireless alarm and monitoring system device, for premises or homes, including the alarm and monitoring unit comprises a transmitter / receiver mobile or cellular telephony. Another main feature of this device is that this plant is autonomous and portable and miniature and what is in one hand. The current miniaturization allows it to be the size of a smartphone. The invention relates to the field of sophisticated and sophisticated alarm systems. In this case the central is an electronic device that works by the execution by a processor, instructions of a program. The invention also relates to much simpler systems, to alarm and monitoring systems consisting of two separate blocks: the central and the siren, or monobloc and simplified operation. A conventional alarm system to prevent burglaries is constituted by motion detectors placed in the passages and accesses as well as opening detectors placed on the doors and windows of the dwelling or the premises or to be protected. In case of detection, and if the alarm is in use, the latter to thwart burglary gives the alert by telephone and / or activates sirens. FIG. 1 represents a conventional alarm system which is a modular system representing the prior art. The different modules are: - an alarm center (in the center), which centralises the information sent by the detectors and makes the decision to launch the alert, - detectors, - devices (siren, call system) intended to give warning and - control or control devices (remote control, keyboard) allowing users to put the system on or off. Communications between the parties can be transmitted: - by a wired network, typically star-shaped around the plant - by a radio network, each module then being equipped with a radio antenna and a transmitter. In this case, the alarm central integrates a radio receiver to receive the information sent by the radio detectors. Detectors transmit limited information to the plant. When the detector carries out a detection it causes the closing or opening of a loop for a wire detector, or it emits a radio signal containing only the only information that a detection has taken place. The central alarm can also be coupled to a telephone transmitter to give the remote alert. This telephone transmitter can also be integrated into the alarm center. The control panel can also handle aggression and emergency type alarms. The alarm is then activated from a portable remote control which transmits a coded signal to the radio receiver of the control panel. This same radio receiver equipping the control unit can receive the detection information from the radio detectors, as well as on / off control information. The plant also manages technical alarms, such as fire, frost, gas, flood .... Technical alarm detectors send detection information to the control panel. Smoke detectors will be mandatory in homes in 2015. Intrusion detectors belong to two families: perimeter detectors: magnetic aperture detectors, they monitor the perimeters of the area to be protected, allowing the protection of a particular area. local even if he is busy.

Volumetric detectors, such as infrared detectors, to detect a moving person inside protected areas. The different detectors correspond in the language devoted to zones under surveillance. An area corresponds to one or more detectors or to a room in the dwelling. Alarms are classified into several types: theft alarm, aggression, emergency, technical alarm. For some anti-intrusion systems and for small premises, the control panel incorporates control and warning devices, the detectors being the only separate parts. In fall detection systems in ponds, it may happen that the alarm is monobloc (detector, central, siren and control).

As we have seen, most home theft alarms are rather bulky and sprawling systems. These alarm panels are irremovable. An installation is necessary by professionals to adapt it to the houses. On the other hand the alarm panels have autonomy in energy. Some are powered by the mains (sector) but also have batteries allowing a significant autonomy of the order of several days in case of failure of its sector. Others are powered by batteries, have a very low power consumption and therefore a long battery life. An advanced plant is able to transmit a message remotely. The central (equipped with an integrated telephone transmitter) can automatically dial a telephone number registered in advance, and inform with a clear pre-recorded voice message with a variable part providing information on the type of alarm. The central can give an alert to a central monitoring station, where intervention resources are detached on site. In this case, messages encoded in multifrequency code tone or FSK or modem are decoded by the monitoring bay to identify the subscriber and the type of alarm. The transmission of this type of alarm center is rendered inoperative when the burglar breaks the telephone line. Unbundled phone lines go through ADSL connection unreliable. Central alarms are equipped with wireless phone module that overcome this through.

An alarm center must be difficult to access or concealed, because otherwise a burglar can destroy it before it transmits the alert. The alarm system has at least two main modes of operation. A mode where the system is disabled, put at rest, during this mode a detection is not followed by effect. A mode where the system is put into service and after a detection, the alert is launched. Partial activation modes are possible: some zones remain active and others are deactivated. An alarm can be activated when the house is empty of occupants, or when people are present inside. In the case of partial protection, only the peripheral zones can be activated. This partial protection corresponds to a person or a family present in the dwelling to be protected. Only an attempt of penetration will trigger the alert, and the inhabitants, the animals can move in the house without effect. During the telephone transmission, it is possible for the recipient to listen to what is going on in the monitored room in order to dispel the doubt as to the appropriateness of the alarm being triggered and that it is not a question of false alarm. Several control devices are possible. The control panel is activated or stopped by entering a secret code on a keypad on the control box. The central alarm is necessarily inside the protected perimeter. In order to have time to leave the room or dwelling after activation of the alarm system on the keypad, a timer called exit delay is started. During this input delay, some areas are disabled on the output path. To allow time to enter and dial the code on the keypad to stop the system, an entry delay is initiated, the time beyond which the alert is triggered. To avoid the drawbacks of these timers, the code is made a remote keypad outside the protected perimeter. In the same way you press the on / off button of a radio remote control of the portable system to instantly change the state of the system. On the housing of the control unit itself the LEDs (or light-emitting diodes) can light up corresponding to the fault zones, the detectors connected by wires or radio to this zone which latch or engage. The zones may correspond to particular parts of the dwelling, to the accesses, or it is possible to define a peripheral zone corresponding to the perimeter of the zone to be protected. People are present inside and imagine an intrusion detected by the system, the alert is launched, but the user does not find in front of the casing of the central to know where the attempted intrusion occurred so to adopt a strategy. For example it is the garage that is fractured but the trigger of the alarm is general 40 with the sirens, and the present user has no details where he is.

In addition it is not informed about the routing of the alert. The system may have been destroyed before operating; the alert has reached its destination. The user carries with him a radio remote control with which he can stop or start the system or trigger an aggression alarm if he fears for him or his family. This remote gives him no information. The information transmitted via a telephone transmitter to a central station is limited to what can be entered with a keypad. Some intrusion detectors are likely to fire without intrusion. They are less reliable. It is said to be a false alarm. Other untimely triggers are due to users who could not disable the alarm center. A big challenge for telesurveillers is before sending a response team that causes costs, it is to remove the doubt about the relevance of the alarm. The printer makes it possible to have a report of the alarms for the insurers. The various events of the system are printed along the water. Patent FR 2584219-Al speaks of a "remote control and remote programming unit", this portable housing according to the patent allows remote control and programming of a central alarm, which is a possible solution to the proximity and inaccessibility of the plant. An autonomous, portable and miniature alarm center and can hold in one hand avoids the aforementioned disadvantages of a conventional system. It would be possible to display on this one information concerning the process of triggering and monitoring the alarm and to put them directly within the user's reach. The triggering of a personal alarm following an assault or personal distress emergency can be made directly from the alarm terminal and transmitted over the air. It is possible to control the monitoring levels from the portable control unit, and to check them by visualizing them. It is possible for the recipient to listen during transmission what is happening closer to the user to remove the doubt about the validity of the alarm and it is not a false alarm . A useful dialogue between the recipient is even possible with the user. In conventional alarms, the triggering of the transmission is automatic, unavoidable. The strategy is programmed in advance. The user intervenes blindly to stop the process once it is completed. With a portable alarm panel, it can intervene immediately in the process of transmitting the alarm. It can decide if a detection is to be taken seriously or not since it has information on the triggering of the alarm. This would be an advantage for the management of false alarms and nuisance tripping.

As long as the mobile phone network is accessible, the functions specific to a control panel will be ensured. The information transmitted remotely by a conventional alarm is limited because the systems were designed for the switched network of telephone lines whose data transmission rate was then limited. These systems have associated GSM transmitters of first generation and whose flow is just as limited. Now the new generations of mobile phone system have larger upstream and downstream bi-directional data rates and allow transmission of more data and images and the invention takes advantage of these new possibilities.

At a time of extreme miniaturization of electronic components, the boxes of conventional alarms are bulky and contain much more vacuum than electronic components; The size of the control panel casing justifies the price that a user agrees to pay because the casing is the only visible thing. In this context a miniature alarm center or model can be conceived as cheaper. Another advantage is to be able to hide it more easily, for example in a false ceiling. WO 2011/078634 A1 discloses a GSM wireless alarm control unit in which a 15 W siren is incorporated. The size of the acoustic horn of a siren prohibits that the alarm center is fixed later in the text. The roar of the siren makes it possible to find the power station and neutralize it. The siren is deactivated by an SMS message sent to the system, proof that the presence in the immediate vicinity of the central user is not considered. By way of nonlimiting example according to the invention FIG. 2 describes a wireless alarm and surveillance system for premises or dwellings whose central unit (1) is autonomous and portable and miniature with means of access (16) to the network of mobile telephony (2). The portable qualifier does not mean anything precise in quantitative terms except that we can transport the object manually. The gauge of the power station is such that it can be transported in one hand, The size of a hand is not extensible. As a non-limiting example according to the invention, its size and size make it a pocket center because it can also be placed in the pocket of a garment. It can be worn around the neck like a medallion or on the wrist with an armband. The biggest smartphones have a diagonal is 4.3 inches and this size, according to the manufacturers, is a standard to be held in one hand. Tablets that have ten-inch screens are too big to fit in one hand. A pocket-size book is an object that can be held in one hand and whose size is the limit of what can be held in one hand. Taking this into account, the maximum dimensions of the plant according to the invention are such that it can be contained in a volume of 396 cm3 of overall dimensions of 11cmx18cmx2cm 40 for a main diagonal of about 8 inches. The minimum dimensions of the control panel depend on the miniaturization of the components. Without limitation, according to the invention, one can reach volumes five to six times lower today. A control panel sold in a famous distribution network has a size of 900 cm3 already passes to be very small by its broadcasters but it is not designed to be mobile since it is connected to a network outlet. So a volume of 396 cm3 corresponds to a miniature alarm center, the term miniature is used in the sense of extremely small. The plant has a certain autonomy thanks to its rechargeable battery. Non-limiting of batteries having a capacity 1500 milliamperes.heure lithium-ion are possible and can ensure one to several days of energy autonomy to the power station in operation. Non-limitingly according to the invention, its size and size make it a central pocket because it can also be placed in the pocket of a garment. It can be worn around the neck like a medallion or on the wrist with an armband.

The central alarm is a separate, functional element and while it is powered by its battery, it is not connected electrically and materially to any other elements. Non-limitingly according to the invention the device is shown in Figure 2. The wireless detectors that detect the conditions of an alarm are placed in a room or house and are equipped with a radio transmitter. A radio infrared detector (4) is shown as well as a radio smoke detector (6). A radio siren (3) with a radio receiver is also shown. The wireless detectors and the siren communicate by radio with the control unit. An infrasound intrusion detector comprising an infrasound sensor (5) is integrated in the central unit, it is based on the principle of the detection of infrasound (14) generated by the opening of a door (13) or a window of the room or dwelling. The number of radio detectors and sirens may be higher. A range of wireless alarm or surveillance detectors exist among alarm manufacturers: infrared radio detectors, radio door contacts run on batteries with good autonomy The radio transmitter has a coding system, and a radio frequency (RF) part. A surface wave frequency filter ensures the stability of the transmitted frequency and a transistor oscillates at this frequency mounted on a common base, which limits the transmitted power transmitted on a resonant antenna consisting of a single insulated wire. Coding and how to modulate the radio transmission a radio frame.

There are various digital radio modulation systems for carrying these binary codes: Phase Modulation (PSK) Frequency Modulation (FSK) ASK Modulation The binary information is modulated with two different amplitudes of signal. - OOK modulation The most used ASK modulation OOK modulation (ONOFF-KEYING) consists in carrying a zero with a radio signal of zero amplitude. Frequency channels are defined in the different countries for these devices assimilated to the remote control and whose transmission powers are limited and their range of about 100 meters in free field is reduced but sufficient for a wireless alarm application. . For the radio part, hybrid RF modulation circuits whose components are laser-adjusted are available from different manufacturers. The encoder can be a cheap integrated circuit. It is not at all a technical problem to associate a radio transmitter with an existing wired detector. Simply connect the transmitter to the detection output. The radio technical detectors can be of all types: mandatory smoke detectors in a dwelling in 2015, gas detector, fire detector, frost detector, flood detector, etc. 15 A radio receiver equips the central station and Mermaid. The manufacture of a radio receiver is simplified by the existence of miniature radio hybrid circuits found in the manufacturer and dedicated integrated circuits manufacturers who realize the decoding systems or it does not pose a problem either. perform the decoding by a microcontroller. The microcontroller integrates an electrically programmable memory (EEPROM) in which it saves the radio codes of the different transmitters. A resonant antenna is required at the antenna input of the hybrid circuit. It can be a simple insulated copper wire. The minimum length of this antenna is one quarter of the wavelength of the frequency of the carrier of the radio transmission. The frequency must be high for the antenna to be shorter. A size of 8.6 cm is obtained for a frequency of 868.3 MHz. The higher the frequency, the more likely the signal will not be stopped by the scrap mesh of reinforced concrete walls and slabs. The antenna should be vertical for better reception of the waves. The alarm and monitoring unit integrates a means of transmitting / receiving mobile telephony. The mobile phone network whose coverage covers the local or the home allows remote interaction, it allows the exchange of data and information. Mobile telephony, or cellular telephony, is a means of telecommunication by wireless telephone. This means of communication spread widely in the late 1990s. The associated technology benefits from improvements in electronic components, including miniaturization, which allows phones to acquire functions previously reserved for computers. The alternative to the wired telephone makes use of the hertzian waves. When a call is made, the voice is converted to a digital signal and then the coded radio signal 40 is emitted and is picked up by the nearest antenna. From the transmitter of the call (a mobile phone) to its recipient (here, a fixed telephone), the signal containing the voice travels successively by the airwaves and by cable networks This transmits the signal to a radio station. base which then sends it to a central, 5 by conventional telephone line or by radio links. From there are routed conversations to the recipient's phone, in the reverse process, wired or wireless depending on whether it is a call to a landline or a mobile. The digital signal is again transformed into an analog sound signal in the receiver apparatus. 10 There are several generations of mobile telephony: - 1G: The first analog generation is obsolete - 2G: The second generation GSM (Global System for mobile communications) with SMS (Short Message Service), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution). 15 - 3G: The third generation 3G, and 3G + currently equips the latest generation phones - 4G: The fourth generation has not yet been put into service. Each generation is changing the mobile phone system to higher transmission speeds. From the second generation the voice is digitally encoded. These generations allow transmission, digital and vocal, simultaneous. There are specialized electronic modules for transmitting / receiving to the mobile network. GSM / GPRS / EDGE modem modules provide access to the network (Wavecom Q2687 or Fastrack module). These modem modules can be controlled by RS232 serial link by transmitting a whole range of codes to the "RAYES" standard. There are 3G USB keys with built-in smart card that allow computers to access the Internet. Inside third-generation phones, there are 3G / 3G + or 3G / 4G modems driven by powerful microcontrollers or microparters. These modems allow GSM downlink compatibility, GPRS, EDGE. With the GPRS mode when the communication is established with a corresponding machine or human, it is possible to open a voice channel. Digital messages can be transmitted (better known as SMS) from a mobile phone device. Messages whose length is limited. These messages can be transmitted to other mobile telephony devices. If the SMS is sent on the number of a fixed telephone, the recipient receives a voice message which is a faithful transcription of the text of the message. Nowadays, SMS are also used in machine-to-machine communications. Mobile Internet is the set of technologies for accessing the entire Internet beyond fixed workstations and making them accessible through mobile terminals. The emission of emails is possible. The Internet is accessible from a 2G or 3G phone. It is possible to send text messages over the Internet to landlines.

The telephone device itself may be called "mobile", "mobile phone", "mobile", "cell phone", "GSM. A smartphone or smart phone has advanced functions FIG. 3 gives a description of the portable control unit and specifies the elements that constitute it in a nonlimiting manner according to the invention. The operation of the control panel is managed by a program. A processor (27) of the central unit executes the instructions of a program It is quite plausible that the alarm center is autonomous and portable The alarm and monitoring center contains the elements specific to a telephony terminal mobile and a computer terminal which are: - a mobile telephony antenna (8) inside the envelope or outside. a smart card (25) (SIM card) (of the English Subscriber Identity Module) is a chip containing a microcontroller and memory used in mobile telephony for storing information specific to the subscriber of a mobile network, especially for GSM or 3G networks UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System). It also stores applications of the user, his operator or in some cases third parties. It provides access to the mobile phone system. - a mobile transmitter / receiver circuitry (16) - a microphone (11) - a speaker or earphone (12) - a headset output (23) - a vibrator (26) - a touch screen or screen / keyboard (7) ) - a battery (29), - a data storage unit (23) - a processor (27) - a battery recharging connector (15) - a WIFI communication module (21) The alarm and monitoring unit contains the elements specific to a location terminal: a satellite location module (24) The alarm and surveillance center contains the elements specific to an alarm and surveillance terminal - an intrusion detection system to built-in infrasound sensor (5), - low battery detector (19) 40 - single resonant antenna for transmitter and receiver (9) - radio transmitter (17) - radio receiver (18) - circuit Antenna switching device which isolates the receiver during transmission (30) an indicator light (10) The operation of the control panel is managed by a program. A processor (27) executes the instructions of a program. The processor, the heart of the control unit, executes the instructions of a program that manages the operation of the control panel. He performs calculations, memorization operations. It acts on different devices: screen, keyboard, touch screen, mobile phone circuitry, WIFI, location device etc. It receives information from different detectors. In summary the central alarm has elements that brings it closer to a "smartphone". A "smartphone", smart phone, "ordiphone", or handheld terminal is a mobile phone also having the functions of a personal digital assistant. It can also provide calendar, calendar, web browsing, e-mail, IM, GPS, etc. features. It also includes elements specific to a central alarm.

FIG. 6 represents the exterior appearance of an alarm center that is reminiscent of a "smartphone" with its microphone (11), its loudspeaker (12), its touch screen (7), its envelope (28). By way of non-limiting example, the envelope (28) contains one or more integral elements making it possible to protect the various elements inside and to easily transport the device. Another very important feature of the invention is to associate with the alarm and monitoring unit an infrasound intrusion detector. Volumetric detectors: infrared detectors, ultrasonic radar, microwave radar detect a person in a given volume and must be distributed in various locations of the dwelling. Likewise perimetric detectors with magnetic contact must be distributed on each opening. A more compact alarm system consists in mounting a volumetric detector for example of the microwave radar type on an alarm center, but the protected zone corresponds to the detection angle of the radar from the central station 35 of alarm. This system can not claim to protect all the accesses of a dwelling An infrasound intrusion detector system allows the surveillance of all the accesses of a room or a house and can be localized in a single place, for example in the alarm center. Patent FR 8204464 discloses an invention that can be freely used, the title of which is "a 40-volt transducer detection device and infra-sound detection method." The opening of a door, the opening of a door 'a window, shocks on a wall generate infrasound below the sound domain. Infrasound are pressure waves whose frequencies are between 0.01Hz and 20Hz (or 0.01Hz and 15Hz).

An infrasound intrusion detection system for an alarm system consists of an infrasound sensor and the intrusion detection is to compare the output signal voltage of the infrasound sensor to a given voltage (adjustable or configurable) . In the absence of an infrasonic signal, the signal of the infrasound sensor has a mean value. The closer the comparison voltage is to this average value, the stronger the sensitivity of the detector. The voltage comparison can be performed in different ways: with a comparator, a digital analog conversion and comparison of the samples with a digital value. A window comparator may be used because the infrasonic wave that reaches the infrasound sensor is an increase or decrease in pressure and therefore a signal at the output of the infrasound sensor that is greater or smaller than the average value. It is possible to detect only an increase in pressure (or respectively a decrease in pressure). An infrasound sensor consists of a pressure or pressure change sensor and a low frequency low pass filter that eliminates audible or higher frequencies and an amplifier. Amplification and filtering can be mixed in the electronics. The low frequency filter can be made from RC analog filters, switched capacitor filters. A switched low-pass filter eliminates unwanted frequencies better. The pressure sensor must be able to react to variations in atmospheric pressure of the order of one hundredth of Pascal. The pressure sensor is a microphone or any other type of relative or absolute pressure sensor. The output signal of the infrasound sensor is the electrical image of the signal of the infrasonic pressure wave generated by the opening of a door or window. Non-limitatively according to the invention, the detection frequency band 0.3 Hz at 4.5 Hz is preferred because it makes it possible to eliminate unwanted tripping due to the rise in temperature, or to other causes such as Opening a door or a window, the passage of a truck nearby As a nonlimiting example according to the invention, the microphone may be an electret condenser microphone. Miniaturization of this type of microphone is important. It is in the form of a microphone cell to be implanted on a printed circuit and in which is present a preamplifier most often consisting of a field effect transistor. By way of nonlimiting example according to the invention, FIG. 4 represents an infrasound sensor. This infrasound sensor consists of an electret effect microphone cell (65) 40 biased by the resistor (66). The sensitivity of the cell is 15 mV / Pascal at 1 khz.

The output signal of the microphone cell drives a 2nd order low pass filter of Salien Key structure whose components (67,68,69,70,71) have been calculated so that the cutoff frequency is 5 Hz. filter output signal drives an amplifier (72, 73, 74, 75, 76) at high gain.

The output of this amplifier is a signal where the audible frequencies are very attenuated with respect to infrasound frequencies. Below 5 Hz. Figure 5 shows a simplified detection process for an infrasonic intrusion detector. This output drives a voltage comparator (77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82) whose sensitivity is set by the potentiometer (79). The comparator output switches when the voltage is exceeded. This output is directly wired to a processor that then detects an intrusion alarm condition. The microphone cell (65) must not be exposed directly to drafts due to movement or human breathing or ventilation. The microphone cell is placed inside a housing that is not airtight. The envelope of the infrasound sensor (5) has small openings (83). The infrasound intrusion detector that is based on the infrasound generated by opening an access to a room or a dwelling does not detect the people where the animals that move inside, it is a detector perimeter.

Non-limitingly according to the invention the central has at least one touch screen not too large to fit in one hand. Figure 6 shows a non-limiting composition of the touch screen. The corresponding alarm states are distinguished at the following monitoring levels: total monitoring, day monitoring, night monitoring and total shutdown.

All of these states are easily accessible on the device screen, but if the device is turned off or its backlight is turned off to save power, a permanently active visual indicator will copy all or part of the monitoring levels to inform the user about the current monitoring. Non-limitingly according to the invention, one or more light-emitting diodes in the visible range can be used. A light emitting diode by state of the same color, one next to the other but how do you know which diode is lit since you can not locate its relative position in the dark or a few meters. A color or shade of color would refer to a level of monitoring. A flashing of this diode could provide information on the proper operation of the program. As a non-limiting example according to the invention, the alarm and monitoring system device may consist of two blocks: the central equipped with the infrasound intrusion detection system and a radio siren. In this case the device does not have radio detectors and therefore the elements such as the receiver and the antenna switching circuit are no longer necessary. The radio siren can be of reduced size and advantageously connected to the power supply network. The device is no longer linked to a room or a dwelling. Only the sensitivity of the infrasound intrusion detector depends on the volume of the room or the dwelling. An average setting should make it possible to dispense with the calibration of the detector with respect to the place to be protected.

The alarm system and monitoring device according to the invention is constituted by a single element: the central unit with its built-in intrusion detector and its mobile transmitter / receiver. The monoblock device in an even more limited mode, has only the infrasound intrusion detection system and protects only when the user is present. The operation is extraordinarily simplified, a sound indicator is activated during a detection, the user warned decides what to give to this alert and can call for help or not. There is no need for software management in this case. Non-limitingly according to the invention the following operating method relates to the case where the device is more sophisticated. Non-limitingly according to the invention, the features of a mobile phone are available on the device by default. The user can phone with the device, send SMS, etc. He can use the smart features of his device (for example those of a smartphone).

The program managing the control panel becomes an advanced function which is activated from the keyboard or the touch screen. The deactivation of the monitoring management program is activated from the keypad or the touch screen. In this way the user, if present, is always the master of the processes. By way of non-limiting example according to the invention the device is at the same time or successively several devices: - Portable terminal: the device is portable thanks to the miniaturization of the components and autonomous thanks to its battery and its reduced consumption. - Computer terminal: interactive input terminal with a keyboard and a screen or a touch screen, for storage and storage of data, terminal for the execution of complex program or application controlling all the functions of the apparatus. It allows you to enter the configuration of the central unit. - Location terminal: the positioning coordinates are present thanks to a GPS receiver or competing satellite positioning technologies but also hourly information from the satellites. 35 - Mobile telephony terminal: the voice, the data can be transmitted remotely by radio signals following protocols which define the transmission speeds. - Alarm terminal: It receives the information coming from the detectors. It remotely transmits information on the nature of the alarm and information on the subscriber, on the dwelling. It warns and informs the user. The operating mode of the alarm system can be controlled from the terminal itself. The alarm and monitoring system software must separate two main operations depending on whether: - The user is absent from the premises or the dwelling to be protected. - the user is present The user is absent: This operation is the closest to that of a conventional control panel. When leaving the room or dwelling, the user if he carries the device with him, places it somewhere inside or puts it in charge on the network of the electric power supply (this can be performed by attaching the device to a suitable base or cable connected to a power charger). Then the user dials a secret code to activate the startup of the monitoring. The user visualizes the new level of monitoring by the color of the status indicator. The user has a time less than the exit delay to leave the room or the dwelling. At the time of his return by reintegrating the premises or dwelling, the user must stop the device by dialing his secret code and touching the total stop key. In case of detection, an activation code of the siren or sirens is sent by radio, and a telephone transmission cycle is started. The transmission cycle consists of calling different phone numbers. Recipients can be machines, mobile phones, landline phones.

The number of cycles to be performed is set. Depending on the type of alarm, the parties to call are different. There is a priority between the types of alarms. If an aggression alarm is launched, it will interrupt the cycle of a flight alarm, because more priority. The central alarm calls a number of the monitoring bay. After an information transmission the control unit automatically opens a voice telephony channel so that the recipient can listen, hear remotely or interact with the user of the alarm and monitoring system. One possible mode of transmission is to transmit text messages (SMS). to the different telephone numbers registered in advance. Non-limitingly according to the invention the text messages contain: - the type or types of alarm - the name of the user - the address of the user - the coordinates of the place (for example GPS) 35 - l time of the alarm. - The level of surveillance Several types of correspondents are possible: - A mobile phone then the message is received in full. - A fixed set, an automatic messaging machine transmits it as a voice message. - A server, a machine, a remote monitoring bay, this one must be appropriate to read the message. The machine returns a text message to the control panel to interrupt the cycle or cycles. The GPS coordinates are not that of the location where the plant is equipped with a satellite tracking system because inside a building we do not receive coordinates. The location coordinates are coordinates entered by the user during the configuration, for example retrieved from an internet mapping service. An email can also be sent with the characteristics of the alarm, for the insurer. The user is present: He / she accesses the two levels of monitoring foreseen by keys on the keyboard: Each level of surveillance is materialized by the color of a visual indicator: - The surveillance day, the setting up of a partial surveillance is possible. Only peripheral areas are monitored. - Night surveillance, peripheral areas are monitored and volumetric detectors of part of the house. In case of detection, the user is warned and the conventional alarm sequence is activated: the siren or sirens are activated by radio, a transmission is automatically performed. Another possibility, the user validates the alarm and then the conventional scenario takes place or he considers that the detection is irrelevant and that it is not necessary to continue, and decides not to relay the sequence, and in this case he makes a total stop. Technical detections when the user is present may not be followed by a telephone transmission. 25 The portable alarm unit warns the user by activating a sound or light signal or vibrations: buzzer, of a vibrator, transmission of audible messages from a loudspeaker, transmission of a message to the headset, activation of a light signal, a light, a light-emitting diode , lighting, backlighting a screen, a vibrator, or a combination of the previous 30. At night the signal is strong enough to wake the user. Once the screen is lit all the information concerning the detection is made available to the user: the zones detected, the type of alarm, A plain text or videogram message can report each stage of the transmission. and the progress of relief. The location coordinates are transmitted to a mobile terminal of an intervention car. The place of intervention is displayed on an on-board map. On the other hand the real-time position of the response team is known. Software calculates the distance of the journey and the travel time between the car and the place of intervention. The mobile terminal sends the time of the trip by SMS to the alarm center which displays this time. 40 The control panel is fully configurable via an interactive menu (screen / keypad). Access to this menu is conditional on a secret code. The characteristics of the zones are defined. Valid areas, active or inactive areas in different levels of monitoring. High protection zones are active even in the event of a total stop (an area for the safe). Ejectable areas for unreliable detectors that trigger only once. The timed zones whose triggering depends on the output and input timers. The types of alarm associated with each zone: theft, aggression, emergency, technical, fire, gas, which will correspond to a different management. The activation of the siren, the telephone cycles by type of alarm, the telephone numbers to be called are configured. The code (s) can be changed. Digital messages can be edited. A battery threshold detection is necessary to warn the user nearby or remotely that the alarm and monitoring system will soon no longer perform its role due to lack of available electrical energy. If there is a wireless network coverage defect is detected or weak, when the user moves, the user can be warned by a sound signal. He will see a message in plain text on the screen. At commissioning, it is refused a first time in case of detection of a zone fault, a battery fault, a cover fault. In the event of a battery failure, it will be sufficient to recharge the central unit on the electrical network, it will continue to provide a monitoring role during recharging of the battery.

To compose his secret code. The invention is more particularly intended for an evolution of smartphones. Figures 8 and 9 describe the alarm and monitoring unit of the device 40 according to the invention consists of a smartphone (62) and a device (63).

The peripheral (63) is constituted by a printed circuit (64) on which the various elements are soldered and a housing. The smartphone (62) has a USB host (Universal Serial Bus) host for communication and charging. The communication standard is USB 2 OTG (On-The-Go). Through this connector the smartphone can also communicate with peripheral equipment and provide it with power. The available voltage is 5V, and the maximum available current is 100mA. The smartphone-side host connector is a standard micro USB connector that is fragile and its mechanics could break with an infatuated and unmaintained device.

The connection is made with a micro USB connector (50) and a flexible cable (61), and maintains the interface is through an envelope cover (28). The ID leg of the connector (50) is grounded indicating that the smartphone is the host for the USB link to the OTG protocol and therefore the device is slave. The solution chosen is to use a USB interface circuit (51) with its 12Mhz crystal (52) to avoid having to manage the USB protocol. (For example the MCP2200 circuit of MICROCHIP USB 2.0 with GPIO). This circuit makes it possible to obtain an RS232 serial channel which is connected to the microcontroller (54). The microcontroller manages the radio receive hybrid (18) (AUREL brand 00K RX-AM8SF receiver) and compares the received codes with a code stored in an electrically programmable memory. It encodes the hybrid radio transmitter (17) (transmitter OOK TX 8L25IA brand AUREL). It switches the antenna switching circuit (30). It collects information from a battery threshold detector (19) and a radio code programming jumper. It triggers the ignition of one of the light-emitting diodes of different colors constituting the visual indicator (10). These light emitting diodes are chosen for their low consumption of 2 milliamps. A small piezoelectric buzzer circuit (59) can be operated by the microcontroller. The antenna corresponds to a quarter of the wavelength of the selected frequency of 30 868.3 Hz. It is a single insulated copper wire glued vertically to the housing. A charging connector is present on the interface so that the panel can be reloaded without disconnecting the interface. The infrasound sensor (5) corresponds to that of FIG. 4, the output of the adjustable threshold detector (85) in FIG. 5 is connected to an input port of the microcontroller 35. The pressure sensor for the sensor infrasound is an omnidirectional electret effect microphone cell. Figure 8 depicts the arrangement of the elements. The smartphone's processor communicates with the microcontroller via a serial link. The device is polled regularly by a message from the smartphone's 40 processor and responds with a message of life. Switch-on and off-command messages for radio sirens and startups are transmitted to the microcontroller within these polling messages. If the life message is not returned after a delay, then the smartphone's alarm software considers the interface to be out of order.

The orders for the visual display are transmitted by the smartphone processor. The on and off commands for the radio sirens and the start or stop of the radio automation are transmitted to the microcontroller of the device. All that is useful for the radio communication and the setting of the intruder sensor 10 is in the device. The codes of the various sirens are positioned by switch coding systems (84) with the microcontroller which reads the switches. The codes of the various radio detectors of the room or dwelling are recorded in a permanent memory of the microcontroller of the interface with an acquisition and recording process which is triggered by an acquisition switch by positioning a jumper (60). A first radio detector of the zone 1 is sent, when the code is read, it is memorized by the microcontroller, then the second of the zone 2 is presented ... Each detector corresponds to a zone, a zone fault message (or low battery battery low (19) if any) is then answered on an interrogation message by the serial channel of the smartphone processor. The central alarm and monitoring application software, if enabled on the smartphone, decides what to do next depending on the level of monitoring and configuration. A DC / DC voltage supply system (53) or regulator provides power to the components. The consumption of the device must be minimal to give the plant a certain autonomy. A simpler industrial application would be to consider that the only detector of the alarm system is that of the device, and that there are no more than 30 sirens, which leads to eliminate the radio part of the interface. A much simpler industrial application (FIG. 7) is to feed the USB connector of the smartphone, an infrasound intrusion detection system consisting of the infrasound sensor (5) and the threshold detector (85), this system The detection circuit would trigger a piezoelectric buzzer (59) directly which would warn the user. This would make it possible to provide an alarm system and monitoring device for premises and minimal homes. The consumption of this interface (excluding active buzzer) would be less than 1 milliampere.
