2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a mechanical security terminal device, an operation unit for starting / releasing security with an operation key used by a security guard or a user has an operation section and a security status lamp.
Normally, the color of the security light (green, red,
Set it after confirming whether it is being guarded or released by turning off the light) and whether there is a sensor error. However, regardless of the security guards, the users have different recognition of the usage method for each individual, and fail to check the security status or generate false alarms due to wrong operations. Especially when going to work or leaving the building, reverse set (thinking that you are guarding while unlocking security and setting it will put you in security) or bad leaving (for example,
Even if there are people left behind, or if there is a sensor error due to windows or doors being open, set it as security and leave the building. )
It is not possible to reduce the false alarms caused by the operation, and to provide a means that does not send out an alarm if an incorrect operation is performed at the time of setting, or to double-operate with a button or a numeric keypad in order to operate with a security / release operation It was supported by voice.

As a method for preventing erroneous operation, Japanese Patent Publication No.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 869551, first, an operation key or a card is operated, and if it is determined to be correct, then a security state that can be switched in the current security state is displayed, and the operator switches the security. Press the mode switch. The operation device displays a switched security state, and the operator is provided with a means for surely operating by pressing the confirmation switch within a certain time.

When an erroneous operation is performed, the operator is informed by displaying that the operation is erroneous, and the timer is monitored until the operation becomes normal again. Even after a certain period of time, the normal operation is performed. If not told, it will return to the initial state.

Further, if the operator notices the display by making an erroneous setting, it can be avoided by performing the normal operation again.

Further, if there is an abnormality in the sensor at the time of setting the security, the operator can confirm by displaying the abnormal portion of the sensor and notifying it.

[0007]

The first problem of the above-mentioned conventional mechanical security terminal device is, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-869.
If some kind of erroneous operation countermeasure as disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 51 is not taken, even if there is a security status lamp or the like on the operation device of the security device that can confirm the security status, the user erroneously operates and a false alarm occurs. That is. The reason is that the operation device of the security device has a security status lamp etc. as a means to confirm the security status, and the color of the lamp (green, red,
You can check whether it is being guarded or released or whether there is a sensor abnormality by turning off the light), but the user neglects to check the security status lamp or correctly recognizes the meaning of the color and lighting status of the lamp. There is a possibility that it may be operated without it.

The second problem is that the operation keys can be operated regardless of the security state and the sensor state, and thus an erroneous operation can be performed, and further user operation is required to avoid this. It becomes complicated. The reason is that although there is a means to inform the user by the display function of the security status and the sensor status and the display of the misoperation notification, there is no means to prevent the operation in that status, so even if it is a misoperation, it is possible to operate. is there.

A third problem is that, for example, even if a guard set is mistakenly attempted during the opening time (guard release time zone), it is set. The reason for this is that if the security status is judged based on the security status and the sensor status, the time management of the security status is not performed by the time schedule. But there is a possibility that security can be set.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems. The present invention is intended to prevent the user from inadvertently operating, forgetting the operating method, etc. when he / she sets the security start / cancel using the operation keys. An object of the present invention is to provide a mechanical security terminal device capable of preventing false alarms caused by erroneous operations on the user side.

[0011]

The invention according to claim 1 is
In the mechanical security terminal device that sets the security start / cancel by the security operation key, the security mode that can be switched from the current security state and the type of the operation key to be input is determined in advance, and the operation key is input. At this time, the type of the operation key is detected, and if there is no selectable security mode, the switching operation of the security mode is prohibited.

The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that the time schedule for starting / releasing security is managed, and the security setting operation is prohibited during the security release time zone.

[0013]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a mechanical security terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The mechanical security terminal device 1 is provided with sensors 4 installed at various places of security destinations, a display section 3 for displaying security status, sensor status, operating method, etc., and a voice output section 2 for outputting voice guidance. The operation key 6 includes a key operation section 9 for performing security setting, an opening / closing lid section 8 for enabling / disabling the key operation section 9, and a schedule management cancel button 5 for canceling the schedule management function. 6, a key detection unit 7 for detecting 6, an opening / closing lid control unit 11 for controlling the opening / closing lid unit 8 by a determination processing unit 12, a display / voice control unit 10 for controlling display and voice output by the determination processing unit 12, and a sensor. 4, a sensor signal input unit 13 for receiving a signal by connecting to 4,
A security data processing unit 14 that identifies an abnormal signal by a signal from the sensor signal input unit 13 and creates security data, a security state storage unit 16 that stores and saves the security data, and a security schedule management unit that performs security schedule management. 17
And a security mode switching unit 15 that switches the security mode by a signal from the key operation unit 9 and outputs a security status signal to the data sending unit 19, and operates from security status / sensor status / schedule management / presence of operation key detection, etc. The display / voice control unit 10 and the open / close lid control unit 11 are caused to perform appropriate processing by determining whether or not the state is possible, and an abnormal signal from the security data processing unit 14 is transmitted to the data transmission unit 19, Judgment processing unit 1 for storing and saving the security state in the state storage unit 16
2 and a line control unit 20 that controls communication with the security center.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The machine security terminal device 1 shown in FIG.
Are always in the security state storage unit 16 and the sensor state storage unit 1
The security status and the sensor status are monitored by 8 and the security schedule management unit 17 monitors whether the security status is normal or not according to the security schedule.

Further, the key detection unit 7 monitors the operation key 6 to identify whether the operation key 6 is for a guard or a user when the user performs a security setting operation.

The judgment processing unit 12 includes a security state storage unit 16,
Information is respectively taken from the security schedule management unit 17 and the sensor state storage unit 18, a security mode that can be switched in the current security state is selected in advance, and a series of operations for switching to each security mode is performed by a patterned operation procedure. It has a function of judging whether it is normal and, if it is abnormal, sending information to the display / voice control unit 10 and the open / close lid control unit 11 until it becomes normal. Also,
A process of determining whether or not to send the guard data sent from the guard data processing unit 14 to the guard center due to a sensor abnormality is performed according to the guard state.

Next, a series of operations for switching the security mode such as security start / cancel with the operation keys will be described with reference to FIG. First, the operation when the guard switches to the patrol mode in order to patrol while guarding will be described. The machine security terminal device 1 recognizes that the security state is security in the determination processing unit 12, and the first determination in this security state is whether the operation key 6 is for the security personnel or the user. In order for the employee to switch to the patrol mode, the key detection unit 7 identifies the operation key 6 as a security guard operation key, and sends the information to the determination processing unit 12.

As described above, the determination processing unit 12 selects the switchable mode (the patrol mode in this case) in advance, and receives the information which is the operation key for the guard so that the patrol mode of the guard is received. By determining that it is a switching operation and immediately sending a control signal to the opening / closing lid control unit 11 to control (open) the opening / closing lid unit 8, the key operation unit 9 becomes usable, and the guard The key operation unit 9 is operated, whereby the security mode switching unit 15 switches the security state to the patrol mode, a status signal is sent to the data sending unit 19, and the data is sent to the security center by the line control unit 20.

At the same time, the switching information is sent to the judgment processing unit 12, and the judgment processing unit 12 sends a control signal to the display / voice control unit 10 to switch from the guard mode to the patrol mode on the display unit 3 and the voice output unit 2. The state of up to is notified at any time, and then the security state data is stored in the security state storage unit 16.

Next, the operation when the user switches to the release mode while guarding will be described. Judgment processing unit 12
In the same manner as above, when the user inserts the operation key 6 into the key detection unit 7 to switch to the security release mode, the key detection unit 7 is an operation key for the user. That is, the information is sent to the judgment processing unit 12.

The determination processing unit 12 selects a mode in which switching is possible in advance, and determines that the operation is a security release mode switching operation of the user by receiving information which is an operation key for the user, and controls the opening / closing lid. By sending a control signal to the section 11 to control the opening / closing lid section 8 (opening),
The key operation unit 9 becomes usable, and the user operates the key operation unit 9, whereby the security mode switching unit 15 switches the security state to the security release mode and sends a status signal to the data transmission unit 19 to send a line control unit. The data is sent by 20 to the security center.

At the same time, the switching information is sent to the judgment processing unit 12, and the judgment processing unit 12 sends a control signal to the display / voice control unit so that the display unit 3 and the voice output unit 2 enter the security release mode. A notification is sent and the security status is stored in the security status storage unit 16.

Next, the operation when the user switches to the security mode while the security is being released (specifically, when an erroneous operation such as a reverse setting, defective leaving, or a security setting during opening) occurs will be described.

In the present embodiment, the security status judgment (security in progress / release in progress) is carried out by the procedure shown in the flow chart of FIG.
The state that can be switched from S1, time management judgment (open / closed) S2, sensor abnormality judgment (sensor abnormality / absence) S3, and security status determination (patrol / no patrol) S4 is pre-patterned. In that state, the detection of the operation key is monitored, and the key detection judgment (for user / guard) S5
~ S8 finally enters the patterned state,
Whether or not it can be operated.

At this time, if the erroneous operation state S9 or S10 is reached, the user cannot operate the sensor, so that the sensor is normally operated so that the user can operate the display or voice, or the operation error is confirmed and the operation is performed. Prevent erroneous operations by taking actions such as stopping. In the case of erroneous operation state S9, if you want to ignore the schedule and perform the operation, press the schedule management cancel button 5,
When the time management judgment S2 is released and the sensor abnormality judgment S3 is performed, and if there is no sensor abnormality, the security key can be set with the operation key by making the operation possible.

[0027]

The first effect is that, when the user tries to perform the security mode switching operation, the erroneous operation can be already prevented on the side of the machine security terminal device, and the user operation is always possible only in the correct state. Normal operation is performed only by operating the keys. The reason is that if the user selects a security mode that is switched in advance before performing the security mode switching operation, and there is no selection mode, it will remain inoperable and after the user can operate by voice or display, This is because it can be operated for the first time.

The second effect is that erroneous operations such as reverse setting and defective leaving can be prevented before the user performs the operation, and further recurrence can be prevented by letting the user recognize. The reason is that the user just brings the operation key close to the machine security terminal device, and the judgment of the incorrect operation prevention is completed,
It is because it is possible to recognize that it is an erroneous operation by the inoperable state, unless the user can operate it,
This is because the operation cannot be performed.
