Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a security device that can be suitably used in a home security system.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, a security device used in a home security system is provided with three security modes, that is, an outing security mode, a home security mode, and a release mode, as security modes.
[0003]
For example, FIG. 2 of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-23062 shows three push buttons 32A, 32B, and 32C on the operation unit 32. The paragraph number [0018] indicates that the operation unit 32 has “warning”. It is described that the device includes the push buttons 32A, 32B, and 32C that are used to set the security mode of the apparatus main body 20 to the home warning state or the non-warning state.
[0004]
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-279564 discloses a home warning setting means 6 for setting a home warning mode, a release means 7 for setting a release mode, and an outing warning setting for setting a going-out warning mode. A security device comprising means 8 is disclosed.
[0005]
These security modes are well known, but a brief description is as follows.
The outing warning mode is a security mode that is set when all the members of the family go out and the inside of the guarded property to be guarded becomes unattended, and all the guarded areas of the guarded property are guarded. More specifically, all the security sensors are set in a security state.
[0006]
The home security mode is a security mode that is set when sleeping, etc., and is a security mode in which security is not performed for a security area where there are people in the security property, and security is performed for other security areas. . Therefore, the security sensors in the security area where no security is performed are set to the released state, and the security sensors in other security areas are set to the warning status.
[0007]
The release mode is a security mode that is set when the home warning mode and the outing warning mode are canceled. In other words, the release mode is a security mode in which all the security areas of the security property are not guarded, and all the security sensors are in a release state.
[0008]
In addition, although various names are used as the names of these security modes in addition to the above names, they are referred to as an outing warning mode, a home warning mode, and a release mode in this specification.
[0009]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the home security mode, which security area is to be guarded, more specifically, which of the security sensors connected to the security device is to be in a security state varies depending on the security property, Therefore, in the security device used for the home security system, conventionally, it is possible to arbitrarily set which security sensor is set in the security state in the home security mode.
[0011]
On the other hand, the outing warning mode and the release mode are fixedly set in advance in the security device. That is, when the outing warning mode is selected, all security sensors are set in a warning state, and when the release mode is selected, all security sensors are set in a released state in advance. It is not designed to be set as desired by the user.
[0012]
As described above, as described above, in the security device having the three security modes of the outing warning mode, the home warning mode, and the release mode as the security mode, conventionally, only one home warning mode can be set.
[0013]
However, depending on the security property, it may be desired to set two types of home security modes. For example, considering the construction of a home security system in a house with a store consisting of a main house and a store, the store is open during the day and the main house becomes unattended, and the store becomes unattended at night. Two types of home security modes are set: a first home security mode that performs security and a second home security mode that guards only the store. The first home security mode is set during the day, and the second home security mode is set during the night. There is a case where there is a request to be able to set the home security mode, but the conventional security device described above cannot meet such a request.
[0014]
Therefore, the present invention enables the home security mode to be set for the means for setting the outing warning mode that has been fixedly set in advance in the security device and the means for setting the release mode. It is an object of the present invention to provide a security device that can set a home security mode according to the situation of the security property.
[0015]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the security device according to the present invention is a selection device for selecting any one of the security modes in the security device having three types of security modes, that is, the outing security mode, the home security mode, and the release mode. It is characterized in that at least three means are provided, and a desired home alert mode can be set for all of the selection means.
[0016]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a security device according to the present invention and a configuration example of a home security system using the security device. In the figure, 1 is a security device, 2 is a sensor input unit, 3 is a control unit, 4 is a security mode selection unit, 5 is an operation unit, 6 is a display unit, 7 is a line control unit, 8 is a threatening device, and 9 is a security state setting device.
[0017]
First, each part shown in FIG. 1 will be schematically described.
A predetermined number of security sensors (not shown) can be connected to the sensor input unit 2, and channel numbers are assigned to input terminals to which the security sensors are connected. When a detection signal is received from a certain security sensor, the control unit 3 is notified of the channel number that has received the detection signal. Accordingly, the control unit 3 can recognize which channel number of the security sensor has output the detection signal. It is obvious that various sensors such as a heat ray sensor that detects the movement of a person and a sensor that detects that a window has been opened can be used as the security sensor.
[0018]
The control unit 3 includes a CPU and its peripheral circuits, and has two modes, namely, a security mode for executing a predetermined security process and a setting mode as operation modes. The setting mode will be described later. Further, there are three types of security modes: an outing warning mode, a home warning mode, and a release mode. Details of the operation of the control unit 3 will be described later.
[0019]
The security mode selection unit 4 is for selecting a security mode of the control unit 3. That is, the controller 3 selects whether to operate in the out-of-home warning mode, in the home warning mode, or in the release mode. For this purpose, three selection means 4A, 4B, and 4C are provided. ing.
[0020]
Here, at the time of shipment of the security device 1, the selection means 4A, 4B, and 4C select the outing warning mode, the home warning mode, and the release mode, respectively, and the selection means 4A, 4B, and 4C are selected. In each of the sections, there are stickers that indicate that they are for selecting an outing warning mode, that they are for selecting a home warning mode, and that they are for selecting a release mode. It shall be affixed.
[0021]
Further, any method may be used for selecting the outing alert mode, the home alert mode, or the release mode by the selection means 4A, 4B, 4C. For example, the selection means 4A, 4B, 4C may be, for example, a push button, a method using a magnetic card or an IC card, a method of inputting a personal identification code with a numeric keypad, and further transmitting a question wave. Using a non-contact automatic identification code reader (RFID (Rsdio Frequency Identification) reader), a so-called on-chip coil-type non-contact method in which a ROM storing a pre-registered PIN is connected to one end of an antenna coil A method in which the information storage medium is brought close to the RFID reader may be used.
[0022]
The operation unit 5 performs an operation for switching the operation mode, that is, a switching operation from the security mode to the setting mode, a reverse switching operation, and an operation for setting the home security mode in a selection unit of the security mode selection unit 4. For example, a numeric keypad, a determination key, an asterisk key, a sharp key, and the like are provided.
[0023]
The display unit 6 is configured by a display device capable of displaying characters such as a liquid crystal display device.
The line control unit 7 is for reporting to a predetermined device such as a security center device of a security company through a communication line such as a public telephone line.
[0024]
A threatening device 8 can be connected to the security device 1. The threatening device 8 is for threatening an intruder, and may be only a device that threatens with sound such as a siren or a buzzer, or a device that threatens with light such as a projector, or a sound threatening. You may have both what performs and threaten by light. Although only one threatening device 8 is shown in FIG. 1, this is a convenient measure only for avoiding the complexity of the figure, and is actually installed in a plurality of locations of the security property. There are many. In short, at least one threatening device 8 is installed.
[0025]
In addition, a security state setting device 9 can be connected to the security device 1. The security state setting device 9 is for setting the security mode, but here, it is sufficient that at least switching between the outing warning mode and the release mode is possible.
[0026]
The security device 1 is installed indoors in a security property, but when the security status setting device 9 is connected, the security status setting device 9 is installed near the outdoor entrance. Thereby, when everyone goes out, it suffices to set the outing warning mode by the security state setting device 9 after everyone goes outside, and when returning home, the release mode is set by the security state setting device 9 Then you can go indoors. In the security state setting device 9, any method may be used for setting the outing warning mode or the release mode.
[0027]
Next, the operation will be described. Here, it is assumed that a threatening device 8 and a security state setting device 9 are connected to the security device 1 as shown in FIG.
[0028]
[Operation in setting mode]
First, the operation in the setting mode will be described. This setting mode is a mode for setting a security sensor to be in a warning state and a security sensor to be in a release state when each of the selection means 4A, 4B, and 4C is selected in the security mode. Therefore, by selecting the setting unit 4B that is set to operate in the home security mode at the time of shipment by setting the setting mode, which security sensor is set to the warning state and which security sensor is set to the release state. It can be set arbitrarily. Also, by setting this setting mode, the selection means 4A set to operate in the outing warning mode at the time of shipment and / or the selection means 4C set to operate in the release mode at the time of shipment. The home alert mode different from the selection means 4B can be set.
[0029]
When a predetermined operation is performed on the operation unit 5, the control unit 3 enters the setting mode. The operation at this time may be, for example, an operation of inputting a predetermined ID code as an ID code for entering the setting mode and pressing the enter key.
[0030]
When entering the setting mode, the control unit 3 next waits for any of the selection means to be selected. When any selection means is selected, the control unit 3 determines which of the security sensors currently set in the selected selection means, that is, when the selection means is selected in the security mode. Information indicating which security sensor is set to the alert state and which security sensor is set to the release state is displayed on the display unit 6.
[0031]
Therefore, if the selection means 4B is selected now, the control part 3 will display the information regarding the state of the security sensor currently set to the selection means 4A on the display part 6. FIG. A display example in that case is shown in FIG. In FIG. 2, a maximum of eight security sensors can be connected to the sensor input unit 2, and the numbers “1” to “8” indicate the channel numbers of the sensor input unit 2. Yes. That is, in FIG. 2, each security sensor is indicated by the channel number of the sensor input unit 2 to which it is connected.
[0032]
In FIG. 2, “ON” indicates a warning state, and “OFF” indicates a release state. Therefore, when the state of each security sensor currently set with respect to the selection means 4A is as shown in FIG. 2A, when the selection means 4A is selected in the security mode, the control unit 3 causes all the security sensors to be selected. Is in vigilance. Then, as will be described later, when the selection means 4A is selected, when the control input is received from the sensor input unit 2 that the detection signal is received from the security sensor of a certain channel number, the control unit 3 is in an abnormal state. It is determined that it has occurred, the threatening device 8 is operated, and a notification is sent via the line control unit 7.
[0033]
Similarly, for example, if the state of each security sensor currently set for the selection means 4C is as shown in FIG. 2B, when the selection means 4C is selected in the security mode, the control unit 3 is all Set the security sensor to the unlocked state. As will be described later, when the selection unit 4C is selected, the control unit 3 ignores the notification from the sensor input unit 2 that the detection signal is received from the security sensor of a certain channel number. However, it is not judged that an abnormal situation has occurred.
[0034]
Now, in the setting mode, for example, as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), the state of each security sensor currently set for a selection means is displayed on the display unit 6. By performing a predetermined operation in the operation unit 5, the state of the security sensor having a desired channel number can be changed from the warning state to the release state, or from the release state to the warning state. How to perform the operation in this case can be determined as appropriate. Here, it is assumed that the channel number of the security sensor whose state is to be changed is input with the numeric keypad and the enter key is pressed.
[0035]
Therefore, in the state where the display unit 6 is displayed as shown in FIG. 2A, when the state of the security sensor with the channel number 1 is to be changed from the warning state to the release state, the operation unit 5 Enter “1” with the numeric keypad and press the enter key. When this operation is performed, the control unit 3 sets the channel number 1 to the release state and displays the new state on the display unit 6. Therefore, in this case, the display is as shown in FIG.
[0036]
In the state shown in FIG. 2C, if “1” is input with the numeric keypad and the determination key is further pressed, the control unit 3 sets a warning state for the channel number. Accordingly, in that case, the display returns to the display of FIG. Since the security sensor has only two states, a warning state and a release state, the control unit 3 performs a warning state and a release every time the operation unit 5 performs a state change operation on the same channel number. The state is set alternately.
[0037]
As described above, after setting a desired state for the security sensor of each channel number for the selection means, when a predetermined operation is performed on the operation unit 5, the control unit 3 sets the channel number for each channel number. While confirming and registering the set state, for example, a display indicating that the set state such as “Registered” is registered is displayed on the display unit 6. Note that it is possible to arbitrarily determine how to perform the operation when confirming the set state. For example, a determination key on the operation unit 5 may be pressed.
[0038]
In the security device 1, the above operation can be performed on all the selection means 4A, 4B, and 4C. Conventionally, the above-described operation has been made possible only with respect to a selection means that has been determined in advance to select the home security mode. However, in this security device 1, all the selection means of the security mode selection unit 4 are used. The above-described operations can be performed on 4A, 4B, and 4C. Therefore, in the security device 1, a maximum of three types of at-home progress modes can be set.
[0039]
In addition, when three selection means are provided as shown in FIG. 1, when three different types of home security modes are set for each selection means, the security device 1 sets the outing warning mode and the release mode. However, when the security state setting device 9 is connected to the security device 1 as shown in FIG. 1, the outing warning mode and the release mode can be set by the security state setting device 9. There is no problem.
[0040]
Also, for example, when different home security modes are set for all selection means, stickers are affixed to the selection means in order to clearly indicate which selection means is in what home security mode. What should be done is the same as described above.
[0041]
And about the desired selection means, if the state of the security sensor of each channel number is set and registered, and predetermined operation is performed in the operation part 5, the control part 3 will complete | finish setting mode and will be in guard mode Enter and start the security process. The operation at this time may be, for example, an operation of inputting a predetermined ID code as an ID code for entering the security mode and pressing the enter key.
[0042]
[Operation in security mode]
Next, the operation in the security mode will be described. As described above, the security mode includes three modes: an outing warning mode, a home warning mode, and a release mode. The operation in any of these modes is well known, but will be described in brief below.
[0043]
[Operation when going out warning mode]
The outing warning mode can be set by the security state setting device 9. Moreover, when the security mode selection part 4 of the security apparatus 1 has a selection means for setting a going-out warning mode, it cannot be overemphasized that it can also set by the said selection means. However, the operation of the control unit 3 differs between the case where the outing warning mode is set by the security state setting device 9 and the case where it is set by the selection means of the security mode selection unit 4 in the following points.
[0044]
That is, the control unit 3 immediately enters the outing warning mode when the outing warning mode is set by the guard state setting device 9. This is because the guard state setting device 9 is installed outdoors, so that when the outing warning mode is set, the indoors are unattended.
[0045]
On the other hand, when it is set by the selection means of the security mode selection unit 4, the going-out warning mode is entered after a predetermined time has elapsed since the going-out warning mode was set by the selection means. This is an operation known as an exit delay operation. In other words, when the outing warning mode is set in the indoor security device 1, if it immediately enters the outing warning mode, it is detected by the security sensor before the housekeeper goes outside, and an abnormal situation has occurred. In order to avoid this, by performing an exit delay operation, a time allowance until the housekeeper goes outdoors is secured. Needless to say, it is also possible to perform an exit delay operation even when the outing warning mode is set by the security state setting device 9.
[0046]
Now, in the outing warning mode, a warning state is set for all the channel numbers of the sensor input unit 2. Then, the control unit 3 ignores the notification from the sensor input unit 2 when the channel number that received the detection signal from the sensor input unit 2 is notified, and when the release mode is set within a predetermined time thereafter. However, if the release mode is not set within the predetermined time, it is determined that an abnormal situation has occurred by validating the notification from the sensor input unit 2, and the threatening device 8 And a notification is made via the line control unit 7. In addition, the telephone number of the report destination is registered in the control unit 3 in advance.
[0047]
This operation is a well-known operation as a room entry delay operation. That is, when the outing warning mode is set, it is conceivable that a housekeeper who has returned home enters the house without setting the release mode with the security state setting device 9, and is detected by the security sensor. Sometimes when a selection means for setting the release mode is provided in the security state setting device 9 or the security mode selection unit 4 of the security device 1, a time margin for setting the release mode is given by the selection means, If the release mode is set within that time, it is not determined that an abnormal situation has occurred.
[0048]
[Operation in home alert mode]
The home security mode is set by the selection means in which the home security mode of the security mode selection unit 4 is set. In addition, when the means for setting a home alert mode is provided in the guard state setting apparatus 9, it is needless to say that the home alert mode can be set also by the means.
[0049]
When the control unit 3 receives a notification from the sensor input unit 2 that a detection signal has been received from a certain channel number in the home security mode, the channel number is set to a warning state in the home security mode. If it is set to the release state, it is ignored, but if it is set to the alert state, it is determined that an abnormal situation has occurred, The threatening device 8 is operated, and a report is sent via the line control unit 7.
[0050]
[Operation in release mode]
The release mode can be set by the security state setting device 9. Moreover, when there is a selection means for setting the release mode in the security mode selection unit 4 of the security device 1, it is needless to say that it can be set by the selection means.
[0051]
When the release mode is set by the guard state setting device 9, the control unit 3 immediately enters the release mode. Since the release state is set for all channel numbers of the sensor input unit 2 in the release mode, if the release mode is set by the security state setting device 9, it is determined that an abnormal situation has occurred even if detected by the security sensor. There is nothing.
[0052]
In addition, when there is a selection means for setting the release mode in the security mode selection unit 4 of the security device 1, the security mode setting device 9 does not set the release mode when operating in the outing warning mode, and the householder May enter the room and be detected by the security sensor. In this case, the control unit 3 performs the room delay operation as described above.
[0053]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the security device according to the present invention, selection means for setting the outing warning mode, which has been fixedly determined in advance and could not be changed, and / or Because it is possible to define and define the home security mode for the selection means for setting the release mode, multiple home security modes can be set according to the status of the security property building the home security system. It becomes possible to do.
