These devices are connected to the operation unit 6 via the disaster prevention amplifier 9, and under the control of the CPU 4
Performs necessary operations as an emergency broadcast system.

This disaster prevention amplifier system includes an iris camera 1, an image processing unit 2, and an image data processing unit 3, and only a user who has registered iris data in advance can operate the disaster prevention amplifier system. A mode (hereinafter, referred to as an iris recognition mode) is provided. Here, the iris camera 1 certifies the position of the eyes of a person standing in front of the disaster prevention amplifier system in real time, and supplies an image signal obtained by reading the iris to the image processing unit 2. The image processing unit 2 performs predetermined image processing such as feature extraction on the input image signal and provides the image signal to the data processing unit 3. The data processing unit 3 creates iris data based on the input image data and sends it to the CPU 4. The CPU 4 stores the input iris data in the memory 5. When recognizing the iris data, the iris data stored in the memory 5 is read out in advance and collated with the iris data input from the data processing unit 3.

FIG. 2 is a front view of a configuration example of the disaster prevention amplifier system configured as described above.

Here, (a) is a rack-type disaster prevention amplifier system, and (b) is a wall-mounted type disaster prevention amplifier system. As shown in FIG. 2 (a), in a rack-type disaster prevention amplifier system 21, an iris camera 22 is arranged at an upper part, an emergency operation unit 23, a control display unit 24, and a microphone 25 are arranged at a central part, and a lower part is arranged at a lower part. An amplifying device 26 and an emergency power supply 27 are arranged. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), in the wall-mounted type disaster prevention amplifier system 31, an iris camera 32 is arranged at an upper part, and an emergency operation unit 33 and a control display unit 34 are arranged at a central part.
, A microphone 35, and an amplifying device 36 and an emergency power source 37 are provided below. These two types of disaster-prevention amplifier systems differ only in scale, but have the same function. That is, the parts having the same name have the same function.

Next, the operation of the emergency broadcast system configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.
As described above, since the emergency broadcast system has the iris recognition mode, the process of registering the iris data will be described first.

When the user stands in front of the disaster prevention amplifier system, the iris camera 1 supplies an image signal obtained by reading the iris of the person to the image processing unit 2. This image signal is sent to the image processing unit 2
Is subjected to predetermined image processing, and the data processing unit 3 creates iris data and inputs it to the CPU 4. At this time, when the user inputs a command to register iris data from the operation input unit 7, the CPU 4 stores the iris data input from the data processing unit 3 in the memory 5. Thus, the iris data is registered.

When the iris data is registered, the broadcasting conditions of the emergency broadcasting system can be freely set. That is, the user who has registered the iris data can use the operation input unit 7 to input various preset items. Then, after setting all the desired broadcast conditions, a command to end the setting of the broadcast conditions is input, so that the set broadcast condition data is stored in the memory 5 in association with the iris data.

With the above, the registration of the iris data of one user and the setting / registration of the broadcasting condition are completed. Similarly, registration of iris data and setting / registration of broadcast conditions of a plurality of users can be performed one by one in order. In this case, the broadcasting conditions of a plurality of users may be different or the same. To make the broadcasting conditions of multiple users the same,
A user who performs setting / registration later displays the broadcasting conditions already set / registered by another user on the display unit 8 so that the user can perform setting / registration with one touch without individually inputting various pre-set items. It is preferred to do so. Also,
When the broadcast conditions of a plurality of users are the same, it is preferable that only the iris data is stored in the memory 5 for the number of persons, and the broadcast condition data is stored and shared by only one user.

Next, a description will be given of a process in a case where the user who has registered the iris data and set the broadcast conditions operates the disaster prevention amplifier system. First, when the user stands in front of the disaster prevention amplifier system, the iris camera 1 supplies an image signal obtained by reading the iris to the image processing unit 2. This image signal is subjected to predetermined image processing in an image processing unit 2 and a data processing unit 3
The iris data is created and input to the CPU 4. CP
U4 reads the iris data stored in the memory 5 in advance, and checks whether or not any of the iris data matches the iris data input from the data processing unit 3.

If there is a match, the broadcast condition stored in the memory 5 is read out in association with the iris data, and displayed on the display unit 8 via the operation unit 6.
Display to When the user wants to broadcast under the broadcast conditions displayed on the display unit 8, the user inputs a broadcast instruction from the operation input unit 7. As a result, the broadcast condition is transmitted to the disaster prevention amplifier 9, and the broadcast is performed from the speaker 11. When the user wants to change the broadcast condition displayed on the display unit 8, the user can input the command from the operation input unit 7 and change the broadcast condition in the same manner as when setting the broadcast condition. Then, the user selects whether to perform the broadcast under the changed broadcast conditions or to end the process by changing / registering the broadcast conditions.

If there is no iris data stored in advance in the memory 5 that matches the iris data input from the data processing unit 3, it cannot be operated because there is no iris data registered. It is displayed on the display unit 8. At this time, a display prompting registration of iris data is performed,
When the user views the display and inputs an instruction to register iris data from the operation input unit 7, it is preferable to execute the above-described iris data registration processing.

As described above, since the emergency broadcast system according to the embodiment of the present invention has the iris recognition mode, only the person who has previously registered the iris data can operate the disaster prevention amplifier system. That is, only the authorized person can operate, and even if an unauthorized person operates, the disaster prevention amplifier system does not operate. The broadcast condition is automatically set to the broadcast condition set in advance by the person, and other people cannot change the broadcast condition without permission. Becomes unnecessary.

Further, the emergency broadcast system according to the embodiment of the present invention has an emergency mode. When the user presses the emergency button on the emergency operation unit 10 or the centralized emergency remote controller 13, the iris recognition mode is released, and the mode shifts to this emergency mode. In this emergency mode, an emergency broadcast is performed under preset broadcast conditions. Therefore, fire
When an emergency such as an earthquake occurs, anyone can operate the disaster prevention amplifier system and perform an emergency broadcast by pressing the emergency button.
