Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a security intercom installed in a dwelling unit and performing various alarm notifications based on various sensor inputs in addition to a call function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been proposed a security intercom that connects a sensor such as a fire detector as a security intercom to issue a fire alarm by displaying and ringing when a fire occurs. There has also been proposed a security intercom that installs a security sensor on windows, doors, etc. to issue a security alarm. The security alarm in the above conventional security intercom,
Being alerted by operating a warning setting switch equipped on the base unit of the intercom consisting of the base unit usually placed indoors and the child unit installed outside the entrance or the external key switch installed outside the entrance etc. When the start is set and the warning state is set, the main unit uses the sensor installed on the window and door to
When the opening of the door (hereinafter referred to as the opening of the door) is detected, the master unit is designed to notify the blinking of the indicator light and the sounding of the alarm sound.

[0003]

In recent years, crime occurrences have increased the awareness of crime prevention in each household, and there is a demand for more convenient and higher crime prevention warning functions and warning functions than the above security functions. That is, if the door is opened when the resident returns home, the security alert is not issued (notification), but if the door is opened due to the intrusion of a thief, the security alert is immediately issued (notification). There is a need for consideration, and it is necessary to have an easy-to-remove means that is less likely to give a false alarm when the alarm is released when opening the door when returning home, etc. ing.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional technique, the immediate notification is given when the door is opened in consideration of the immediacy from the opening of the door to the start of the notification. Therefore, when the user goes out, it is necessary to start warning after closing the last exiting door. There was a warning means such as an external key switch, and when returning home, a releasing means such as an external key switch was used before opening the door. As described above, it is necessary to carry a key for a security alarm warning / release means in addition to the key for locking the door and to go out, which lacks convenience in key management. Further, a means has been proposed in which the door key is used also as a key for the security alarm warning / cancellation means, but there has been a problem that in the recent picking crime, it is completely ineffective against the intrusion of a thief.

Further, the stoppage of the fire alarm and the like is an operation of the resident, and since it is an operation in an emergency, a simple stoppage means is required, whereas the security alarm is easily released by a thief like the release means. It is necessary to have a means to stop ringing that makes it difficult to stop ringing, but the crime prevention alarm also uses the same simple ringing stop means as fire alarms, etc., so it is easy to perform stop operation, and it is possible to continuously threaten thieves and inform the neighborhood. There was a difficulty that I could not. Further, although operation of a plurality of operation buttons provided in the parent device in advance has been proposed as a means for canceling notification when the door is opened, the notification operation is canceled by sequential operation of the operation buttons, so the thief operates the operation button of the parent device without permission. In some cases, the notification may be canceled because of this, and there is a problem that the threat to the thief on a continuous basis and the notification to the neighborhood cannot be made. Further, although 10 keys are added to the master unit as a notification canceling means when the door is opened, a secret code canceling means is also proposed, but the 10 key is often unnecessary in the intercom function, and the 10 key is used only for the crime prevention alarm. Providing a key not only causes an erroneous operation of other intercom operations, but also has a drawback of being expensive.

In view of the above problems, the present invention facilitates a warning release operation accompanied by opening the door when returning home, etc., and makes it difficult to release a report by a thief when a thief enters (at the time of notification), which is convenient. , It is an object to provide a security intercom having a crime prevention / notification function with high crime prevention.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The block diagram shown in FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the security intercom according to the present invention, and shows the entire intercom system. In FIG. 1, 1 is a security intercom base unit (hereinafter, simply referred to as “base unit”), 4
Is a security intercom slave unit (hereinafter, simply referred to as “slave unit”), and the master unit 1 has a built-in CPU 14, and the CPU 14 has a sensor detection unit 11, a display unit 12, a fire reception unit 13, an operation unit 15, and a slave unit. A call detection / call control unit 17 for making a call with the machine 4, an electric lock interface 20,
Then, it is connected to the notification delay time setting unit 21 to control and operate each.

The sensor detection unit 11 is provided with detection units 11a to 11c for each sensor input system, and each sensor 2 (first
The sensor 2a, the second sensor 2b, the third sensor 2c) are connected to each other, and the sensor detector 11 detects opening of a window, a door, or the like via the sensor 2, and the CPU 14 causes the first to third sensors 2 to
Recognize the states of a to 2c.

The operation unit 15 has an alarm sound stop button 15a, a warning setting button 15b, and an electric lock button 1 as operation buttons.
5c, each of the buttons 15a to 15c is pressed by the CPU 1
4 recognizes. In addition, the display unit 12 is a fire indicator lamp 12a,
A crime prevention indicator light 12b, an electric lock indicator light 12c, and a crime prevention setting indicator light 12d are provided, and these can be turned off, turned on, and blinked under the control of the CPU 14.

Then, the CPU 14 controls a call from the handset 4 (not shown in detail) and an answering call using the handset 19 connected to the call detection / call control unit 17,
The ringing tone / notification sound generating / amplifying unit 16 (hereinafter referred to as the notifying sound generating unit) is controlled to generate the ringing tone / notification sound / signal sound, and the ringing sound / notification sound / signal sound is a notification means. It is emitted from the speaker 18 to give a ringing notification. Further, the electric lock unit 5 connected to the electric lock interface 20 is remotely operated to acquire the locked / unlocked state of the lock (not described in detail). The ringing here may be a simple sound such as a buzzer, but may be a notification by melody or voice.

Further, the CPU 14 determines, based on the fire occurrence signal from the fire detector 3 connected to the fire receiving section 13,
The alarm indicator 12a is blinked and the alarm sound generator 16 is activated.
Fire alarm sound is generated at the speaker 18
When the crime prevention alarm is not alerted (monitoring state), the crime prevention indicator lamp 12b and the crime prevention setting indicator lamp 12d are turned off regardless of the detection signal from the sensor detector 11, and the alarm sound generator 16 is activated. Is muted and the security alarm is not issued regardless of the state of the sensor 2. Further, the electric lock indicator lamp 12c is turned on by the locking operation of the electric lock operation button 15c.

The warning setting button 15b in the operation unit 15 is a warning means for operating the warning start of the crime prevention warning, and the button is pressed to shift from the monitoring state to the warning state. In the alert state, the crime prevention setting indicator lamp 12d lights up, and the detection unit 11
When the sensor activation signal is input from b and 11c, the state immediately shifts to the alarm state. However, regarding the sensor activation signal from the detection unit 11a, the first sensor activation signal is invalid for 30 seconds when the state shifts to the alert state, and the second and subsequent and 30 seconds within 30 seconds.
When the sensor activation signal is input after 0 seconds, the alarm state is entered after a notification delay time of 30 seconds after the sensor activation signal is input.

The notification delay time refers to a period during which the alarm state is not entered even if the sensor activation operation is performed. By providing the notification delay time in the detection unit 11a as described above, the detection unit 11a is provided.
The first sensor 2a connected to a is the front door, the second sensor 2
If b is installed on the first floor window and the third sensor 2c is installed on the second floor window, 1
The thief's intrusion from the windows on the first and second floors will be notified by an immediate security alarm, but even if the resident moves to a caution state when going out, it will be the first door within 30 seconds of the entrance door that will be the final exit door when going out. When opening (final exit), the crime prevention alarm is not issued, so you can go out without any false alarm, and when you open the entrance door for the second time, including the 30 seconds immediately after setting the alert, the alarm state will be passed after the notification delay time Immediately after the final exit, you can be alert.

Similar to the setting of the canceling means, the setting of the notification delay time is started by turning on the power supply under a specific condition, is set by operating the notification delay time setting section 21, and is terminated by turning off the power. A desired time can be easily set by sounding a signal sound during this period.
The delay time is measured by the second timer 14b in the CPU 14.
Done in. In this way, by setting or changing the notification delay time by operating the notification delay time setting unit, which is the delay time setting means, for example, only the delay time of the front door that is often operated last can be increased, and the residence It can be set according to the convenience of people and the layout of the house, further improving convenience. The notification delay time may be fixed in advance for each input system of the sensor, and the entrance sensor or the like may be connected by selecting a dedicated detection unit or a suitable delay time detection unit. Can be simplified.

Further, the operation section 15 is also a pattern setting means and a canceling means for the release operation. For the pattern setting operation, for example, the first sensor 2a of the sensor input system to be set is activated and the warning setting button 15b is pressed. Base unit 1 in the state
When the power is turned on, a signal sound is emitted in the same manner as the notification delay time, and the operation section 15 is operated and set in the order and time desired. At this time, the first timer in the CPU 14 measures the pressing time and the non-pressing time of the operation unit 15. Then, after the first sensor 2a is restored, the operation section 15 is not operated and the power is turned on to start the normal operation. The set operation pattern is the pattern memory 1 in the CPU 14.
4c is stored. Then, other sensor input systems and ringing stopping means may be similarly performed.

The releasing operation includes a releasing operation at the time of non-reporting and a releasing operation at the time of reporting, but within the above-mentioned notification delay time as a guide when operating the releasing means at the time of non-reporting, that is, when operating the operation unit 15. In addition, under the control of the CPU 14, a signal sound is generated from the speaker 18 through the alarm sound generation unit 16 at every unit time and a ringing operation is performed. The pattern memory 1 is pressed by pressing the buttons 15a to 15c of the operation unit 15 in a preset time and order in the manner of a Morse code in accordance with the signal sound.
If it coincides with the operation pattern data stored in 4c, the releasing operation can be performed during this period.

On the other hand, the releasing operation when the alarm is issued may be the same as the releasing operation when the alarm is not issued, but the alarm is issued by the intrusion of a malicious neighbor (thief) who understands the releasing operation when the alarm is not issued. Since it may be possible to release the alarm when the alarm is issued, change the combination pattern of the operation buttons, the order, and the pressing time, and then perform the release operation when returning home (the release operation when the alarm is not issued).
It is recommended to simplify the procedure and make the release operation difficult when the alarm is issued. By doing this, it is possible to make it impossible to cancel the alarm even if the cancel operation when not informed is known, it is possible to issue a continuous alarm, and to reliably notify the neighborhood of the occurrence of an abnormality. Further, convenience and crime prevention can be further enhanced.

In this way, if the resident sets the combination pattern by operating the three operation buttons of the operation section, the reset operation can be reset even if a person other than the resident knows the release operation method. However, since it is possible to set a favorite pattern that is easy to remember, crime prevention and convenience can be improved. Further, by providing a guide notification means for generating a signal sound from the speaker 18 for each unit time, the pressing time and non-pressing time of the operation button can be accurately determined. Therefore, the combination pattern of the pressing time and the non-pressing time is set. Alternatively, it is possible to easily perform a button operation at the time of a release operation or a ringing stop operation.

The setting pattern of the releasing means may be a different combination pattern depending on the input system of the sensor, and by doing so, for example, the alarm releasing when the frequently used entrance door is released can be changed to another releasing operation. Compared to this, it is easier and more convenient. In addition, it is preferable that the crime prevention setting display lamp 12d blinks every unit time regardless of the notification of the release operation guide when the alarm is issued. This is because when the alarm is issued, the guide sound is difficult to hear due to the alarm sound. Therefore, the blinking operation can be used like the signal sound of the releasing means when the alarm is not issued, and the operation becomes easy in the manner of the Morse code.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the releasing operation by the releasing means.
The pattern stored in the pattern memory 14c is shown. The release operation uses the alarm sound stop button 15a, the warning setting button 15b, and the electric lock button 15c. As shown in the figure, after pressing the electric lock button 15c for 3 units of time, all the buttons 15a to 15c for 2 units of time are turned off. The operation is such that pressing, and then the alert setting button 15b is pressed for 1 unit time, and then all of the buttons 15a to 15c for 3 unit time are pressed. By recognizing this time and order by the CPU 14, the state shifts to the monitoring state only when the release operation is correctly performed, the ringing of the signal sound is stopped, and the crime prevention setting indicator lamp 12d is turned off. When the release operation is not correctly performed, the notification delay time is set as in the case of the warning setting, and after the lapse of the time, the alarm state is entered, the CPU 14 blinks the crime prevention indicator lamp 12b, and the notification sound generation unit 16 The crime prevention alarm sound is generated and amplified at and the crime prevention alarm sound is output from the speaker 18 to be activated.

As described above, by performing the pattern operation in which the pressing time and the non-pressing time of the three operation buttons are combined, when the resident (the person who understands the correct release operation) comes home, the resident's notification delay time is set. Although the alarm does not shift to the alarm state by the correct release operation (release means operation), even if a thief (a person who does not understand the correct release operation) opens the entrance and enters, the correct release operation cannot be taken and the alarm state is entered.

It is to be noted that a releasing operation other than the crime prevention alarm, for example, a ringing stop that does not need to be complicated, such as a fire alarm, can be left as a simple operation, and by doing so, convenience is improved and a simple structure can be realized. Further, in the above embodiment, the sensor input system, the sensor detection unit, and the operation unit are all three types.
The number may be one or three or more. In addition, although only fire alarms were used as alarms other than crime prevention alarms, gas leak alarms,
It may include an emergency alarm or the like, or may sound the alarm when the security alarm is issued, and the security effect can be further enhanced. Further, although the three sensor input systems are simultaneously operated by using one warning setting button as a warning means, a warning setting button, that is, a warning means may be provided for each sensor input system. Also, the representative indicator lamps for simultaneously displaying the alarm and warning settings of the three sensor input systems have been described, but they may be individually displayed for each sensor input system. Further, one sensor is provided for each sensor input system, but a plurality of sensors may be connected in series. Further, the present invention is not limited to a detached house, and includes each dwelling unit of an apartment house.
