Description

  The present invention relates to a security patrol service system in which a guard visits a predetermined area to check whether there is an abnormality in each house and notifies a contractor of the check result.

  Conventionally, various apparatuses or systems have been proposed for traveling around a predetermined area to confirm the presence or absence of an abnormality.

For example, there has been proposed a locking confirmation device that allows a patrol person to check a locked state of a door that is a confirmation target in a security target facility without pausing during patrol (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In addition, when the guard starts patrol according to a predetermined patrol route in the building, the identification code stored in the RFID tag possessed by the guard is read by a reader installed in each room, and the identification code Has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Literature 2) configured to grasp the patrol status of the guards by transmitting the information to the central information controller installed in the security company.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-119338 JP 2000-235660 A

  In Patent Document 1, although the locked state of the door can be confirmed, there is a problem that it cannot be detected when the door is entered from a place other than the door. Moreover, although patent document 2 can grasp | ascertain the patrol condition of a guard, there was a problem that confirmation of each room had only judgment by the guard's own visual observation, and a slight change may be overlooked.

  In addition, for contractors who have contracted patrols of homes, they may want information not only about their homes but also their surroundings, such as children's school roads and parks. To date, no system has been proposed to provide the contractor with a contractor.

  The present invention was devised to solve such problems, and its purpose is to automatically determine the presence / absence of an abnormality based on the information of the image of the house taken during the patrol, as well as the image information of the house and the presence / absence of the abnormality. An object of the present invention is to provide a security patrol service system that can give the contractor peace of mind by transmitting various information including the determination result to the contractor in real time.

  The security patrol service system of the present invention collects the patrol person terminal having an imaging function possessed by a patrol person who patrols a predetermined area and collects information necessary for security, and the patrol information sent from the patrol person A security patrol service system in which a security management device for managing and a contractor terminal possessed by the contractor are connected by a communication network, the security management device being photographed by the imaging function and via the communication network Information management file for collecting and managing captured images transmitted by each contractor, and security information including captured images stored in the information management file is stored in the contractor terminal of the corresponding contractor. It is characterized by transmitting. According to the present invention having such characteristics, it is possible to give the contractor a sense of security by transmitting various information including image information of the home to the contractor in real time.

  In this case, a determination point for determining whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the contractor's house is set in advance, and the security management device determines a captured image at the time of the previous visit of the contractor's house transmitted from the visitor. The image of the point may be compared with the image of the determination point of the photographed image at the time of the current tour, and if the two images do not match, it may be determined that there is an abnormality and the abnormality information may be transmitted to the visitor terminal.

  In this way, whether or not there is an abnormality in the contractor's house is automatically performed by image processing, so that a double check of confirmation of the abnormality presence / absence by the visual inspection of the patrol person and confirmation of the abnormality presence / absence by the image comparison in the security management device is performed. It becomes possible, and the security accuracy can be further increased. Even if it is visually judged that there is no abnormality, by receiving information indicating that there is an abnormality from the security management device, the patrolman can immediately more carefully check whether there is an abnormality in the house.

  In this case, the security management device may transmit abnormality information to the contractor terminal of the contractor when it is determined that there is an abnormality. In this way, by notifying the contractor himself / herself, the contractor can respond more quickly.

  Furthermore, the security management device may transmit the abnormality information to a contractor terminal of another contractor who lives in the vicinity. Specifically, for example, a predetermined area is divided into a plurality of blocks, and the security management device transmits the abnormality information to other contractors in the block including at least the contractor's house where the abnormality is confirmed. It is possible. If they are in the same block, there is a high possibility that they will be targeted by the same suspicious person, so it is possible to call attention to neighboring residents by promptly reporting to a highly likely contractor.

  Further, according to the security patrol service system of the present invention, the information management file stores in advance, for each contractor, a plurality of shooting points in the predetermined area including the contractor's house based on the contract contents with the contractor. The security management device further includes a transmission unit that transmits the stored location information of the shooting point to the imaging device, and the imaging device includes a reception unit that receives the location information; It is also possible to provide a position measuring means for measuring its own position and a notifying means for notifying a patrol person that it is a shooting point when it comes to the shooting point indicated by the position information by position measurement by the position measuring means. Good.

  In this way, by using the position measuring means to notify the patroller of the shooting point, the patroller can surely perform the necessary shooting at the required point even if the shooter does not store all the shooting points.

  According to the security patrol service system of the present invention, it is possible to give the contractor a sense of security by transmitting various information including image information of the home to the contractor in real time.

  In addition, the security management device compares the image of the judgment point of the photographed image at the previous visit of the contractor's house with the image of the judgment point of the photographed image at the current visit, and if both images do not match, there is an abnormality. Since the abnormality information is transmitted to the visitor's terminal after the determination, it is possible to perform a double check, that is, confirmation of the presence / absence of abnormality by visual inspection of the visitor and confirmation of the presence / absence of abnormality by image comparison in the security management device. Can be reduced. Even if it is visually judged that there is no abnormality, by receiving information indicating that there is an abnormality from the security management device, the patrolman can immediately more carefully check whether there is an abnormality in the house. In this case, when it is determined that there is an abnormality, the abnormality information is also transmitted to the contractor terminal, so that it is possible for the contractor to respond faster. Furthermore, it is possible to call attention to neighboring residents by transmitting abnormal information to other contractor terminals residing in the neighborhood.

  Further, according to the security patrol service system of the present invention, the position measuring means mounted on the patrol person terminal is configured to notify that the patrol person has come to the shooting point when the patrol person comes to the shooting point. Even if the person does not memorize all the photographing points, the person can surely photograph the necessary place.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<Embodiment 1>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of Embodiment 1 of the security patrol service system of the present invention.

  The security patrol service system according to the first embodiment includes a patrol person terminal 11 having an imaging function possessed by a patrol person who patrols a predetermined area and collects information necessary for security, and patrol information sent from the patrol person. The security management device 21 that collects and manages the information and the contractor terminal 31 owned by the contractor are interconnected by a communication network N.

  The security management device 21 includes an information management file 22 that stores, for each contractor, captured images that are captured by the imaging function (digital camera or the like) of the patrol person terminal 11 and transmitted via the communication network N. The security information including the photographed image stored in the information management file 22 is transmitted to the contractor terminal 11 of the corresponding contractor.

  In the security patrol service system of the first embodiment, determination points for determining whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the contractor's house are set in advance. The security management device 21 compares the image of the judgment point of the photographed image at the previous visit of the contractor's house transmitted from the visitor and the image of the judgment point of the photographed image at the current visit, and the two images match. If there is no abnormality, it is determined that there is no abnormality, and if both images do not match, it is determined that there is an abnormality, and a function of transmitting abnormality information to the patrol party terminal 11 or the contractor terminal 31 of the corresponding contractor is provided. .

  Furthermore, in the security patrol service system of the first embodiment, the abnormality information is also transmitted to the contractor terminals of other contractors who live nearby. Specifically, the predetermined area is divided into a plurality of blocks, and at least abnormality information is transmitted to other contractors in the block including the contractor's home where the abnormality is confirmed.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a predetermined area where a patrol person patrols.

  In this example, it is assumed that 1 to 5 chome is a predetermined area, and 8 houses A to H are included as contractors in the predetermined area. Therefore, at least eight shooting points in front of these eight houses are included as shooting points P1 to P8 (indicated by circles in the figure).

  Moreover, in this Embodiment 1, when each contractor AH desires not only photography of a house, it will shoot the desired place. For example, when the contractor A who often plays in the park wants to photograph the park, P9 (indicated by Δ in the figure) is added as a shooting point. When the contractor B wishes to photograph the school road, P10 (indicated by □ in the figure) is added as a photographing point. In addition to this, for example, when the contractor C wants to photograph not only the image of the home but also the previous road situation, the photographing point P3 performs the photographing of the home and the road in front of the home. become.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the data configuration of the information management file 22.

  The information management file 22 includes a contractor name 221, an ID 222, a current captured image 223, a current captured date 224, a previous captured image 225, a previous captured date 226, an additional captured image 227, a captured date 228,. Each item field includes a plurality of additional photographed images 227 and photographing dates 228. Further, for the captured image and the additional captured image, it is not necessary to store the image information itself in the information management file 22. For image information with a large amount of data, for example, an image file (not shown) that stores only image information is prepared separately, and the corresponding captured image is stored in the item column of each captured image of the information management file 22. You may make it store the positional information (address) of an image file.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the patrol person terminal 11.

  The patrol person terminal 11 is a transmission / reception part 111 that transmits / receives various information (image information and position information) to / from the security management apparatus 21 via the communication network N, an imaging part 112 that includes a digital camera, and the like. A key input unit 113 having various keys, a display unit 114 including an LCD, an alarm output unit 115 that receives and outputs abnormality information transmitted from the security management device 21, and a CPU unit that controls these units. The terminal control unit 116 is configured. Here, it is advantageous in terms of operability that the image pickup unit 112 is configured to be detachable from the terminal body, and that the image pickup unit 112 can be detached from the terminal body and can be taken alone during shooting. However, the structure may always be integrated.

  Next, a processing operation when a guard who is a patrolman patrols a predetermined area using the security patrol service system having the above configuration will be described.

  The security guard prepares a map of a predetermined area prior to patrol. In this map, as shown in FIG. 2, the traveling route is indicated by a broken-line arrow, and the shooting points are indicated by symbols such as ◯, Δ, □. In addition, a code to be input by the security guard at the time of shooting is also attached to the shooting point. This code is basically a combination of the ID number of the contractor of the house to be photographed and the type information of the image to be photographed.

  Here, the type information of the image to be photographed is information that indicates whether the subject of photographing is a house, a park, a school road, or a front road of the house (front road condition). It is. In the first embodiment, for example, s1 is the type information when the shooting target is a house, s2 is the type information when the object is a park, s3 is the type information when the object is a school road, and the type is a road in front of the house Assume that s4 is assigned as information. However, the type information is not limited to such a combination of Roman letters and numbers.

  FIG. 5 shows a state in which the type information is added to the map of the predetermined area shown in FIG.

  “Aaa” (see FIG. 3), which is the contractor's ID number, and “s1” indicating the house to be photographed as type information are appended to the photographing point P1. “Bbbb” (see FIG. 3), which is the contractor's ID number, and “s1” indicating the house to be photographed are added as type information to the photographing point P2. To the shooting point P3, “bbbb” (see FIG. 3) which is the contractor's ID number, “s1” indicating the house to be imaged and “s4” indicating the front road are added as type information. Yes. In addition, “bbbb”, which is the contractor's ID number, and “s3”, which indicates the school road to be photographed, are added as type information to the photographing point P10. In addition, “bbbb” that is the contractor's ID number and “s2” that indicates the park that is the object to be photographed are added to the shooting point P9 as type information. Similarly, the contractor's ID number and type information are appended to each shooting point in the same manner.

  The security guard will go around the predetermined area with this map. It is assumed that the security guard is fully aware of the meaning of this type information.

-Description of the process of collecting captured images at each shooting point-
When the guard arrives at the first shooting point P1, the contractor's house is visually confirmed, and the house is photographed from the front using the imaging unit 112, for example. At this time, before or after shooting, the contractor ID number “aaa” and the type information “s1” attached to the shooting point P1 are input, and the security management apparatus combines these information and the shot image. To 21.

  In the security management device 21, the received image information is stored in the information management file 22. At this time, the contractor is specified by the attached ID number “aaaa”, and the type information “s1” indicates the image information. Specify the storage location.

  That is, in this case, since “s1” is added as the type information, the security management apparatus 21 stores the received image information in the field of the current captured image 223 and sets the captured date and time of the current captured date and time. Store in column 224. However, regarding the shooting date and time, a clock function may be added to the patrol person terminal 11 and transmitted from the patrol person terminal 11 at the same time, or the time received at the security management device 21 side is stored as the shooting date and time. May be. At this time, when the image information and the shooting date / time are already stored in the current captured image column 223 and the current shooting date / time column 224, the image information and the shooting date / time are respectively set in the previous image information column 225 and The previous shooting date / time column 226 is overwritten in advance by overwriting. Thereafter, the security management device 21 compares the previous image information with the current image information. This comparison processing will be described later, and only the captured image collection processing will be described here.

  Next, after the same processing is performed at the shooting point P2, when the guard arrives at the next shooting point P3, the contractor's house is visually confirmed, and the house is viewed from the front using the imaging unit 112, for example. Take a picture. At this time, before or after shooting, the contractor ID number “cccc” and the type information “s1” added to the shooting point P3 are input, and the security management apparatus combines these information and the shot image. 21 to send.

  The security management device 21 stores the received image information in the information management file 22. At this time, the contractor is specified by the attached ID number “cccc”, and the image information is identified by the type information “s1”. Specify the storage location.

  That is, in this case, since “s1” is added as the type information, the security management apparatus 21 stores the received image information in the field 223 of the current captured image and sets the shooting date and time of the current shooting date and time. Store in column 224. At this time, when the image information and the shooting date / time are already stored in the current captured image column 223 and the current shooting date / time column 224, the image information and the shooting date / time are respectively set in the previous image information column 225 and The previous shooting date / time column 226 is overwritten in advance by overwriting.

  Further, the security guard photographs the front road of the house using the imaging unit 112 based on the type information “s4” appended to the photographing point P3. At this time, before or after shooting, the contractor ID number “cccc” and the type information “s4” attached to the shooting point P3 are input, and the security management apparatus combines these information and the shot image. 21 to send.

  The security management device 21 stores the received image information in the information management file 22. At this time, the contractor is specified by the attached ID number “cccc”, and the image information is stored by the type information “s4”. Specify the storage location.

  That is, in this case, since “s4” is added as the type information, the security management apparatus 21 stores the received image information in an empty space in the additional photographed image column 227 and sets the photographing date and time. The image is stored in the horizontal shooting date / time column 228.

  Next, after performing the same processing at the shooting point P4, when the security guard arrives at the next shooting point P10, the security guard uses the imaging unit 112 based on the type information “s3” added to the shooting point P10. Use to photograph the school route. At this time, before or after shooting, the contractor ID number “bbbb” and the type information “s3” appended to the shooting point P10 are input, and the security management apparatus combines these information and the shot image. 21 to send.

  The security management device 21 stores the received image information in the information management file 22. At this time, the contractor is specified by the attached ID number “bbbb”, and the image information is stored by the type information “s3”. Specify the storage location.

  That is, in this case, since “s3” is added as the type information, the security management apparatus 21 stores the received image information in an empty space in the additional photographed image column 227 and sets the photographing date and time. The image is stored in the horizontal shooting date / time column 228.

  Next, after the same processing is performed at the shooting point P5, when the security guard arrives at the next shooting point P9, the security guard uses the imaging unit 112 based on the type information “s2” added to the shooting point P9. Use to photograph the park. At this time, before photographing or after photographing, the contractor ID number “aaa” and the type information “s2” added to the photographing point P9 are input, and the security management apparatus combines these information and the photographed image. 21 to send.

  In the security management device 21, the received image information is stored in the information management file 22. At this time, the contractor is specified by the attached ID number “aaaa”, and the type information “s2” indicates the image information. Specify the storage location.

  That is, in this case, since “s2” is added as the type information, the security management apparatus 21 stores the received image information in an empty space in the additional photographed image column 227 and sets the photographing date and time. The image is stored in the horizontal shooting date / time column 228.

  In the same manner, the security guard performs the same processing at each of the shooting points P6, P7, and P8, and finishes patrol of the predetermined area.

-Explanation of comparison processing between previous image information and current image information-
When the captured images at each shooting point are collected as described above, the security management device 21 compares the previous image information with the current image information at the time when the captured image is collected for each shooting point. . In this case, it is the security guard that takes pictures of the house, and the previous and current shots are not always taken at the same angle and distance, so it is necessary to perform image correction before comparing the two images. There is. Since such image correction is a conventionally well-known method, detailed description thereof is omitted here. When photographing a house, the entire building is basically photographed from the front centered on the entrance.

  In the first embodiment, a comparison point (hereinafter referred to as “determination point”) is set in advance for image comparison. As a method for setting the determination point, for example, when there is a contract with a contractor such as placing a potted plant in front of the entrance when going out, the entrance portion is set as the determination point. Regardless of such a promise, a point where a trace of an intruder is likely to remain, such as a window frame portion or a garden planting portion that is likely to be an approach path, is set as a determination point.

  In addition, this determination point uses a position such as a handle of a house as a reference image (reference point) as a reference position (reference point), a distance (X, Y coordinate value) from the reference point, and its X, Y coordinate value. It can be specified by setting a predetermined range centering on.

  In the security management device 21, the image of the determination point (determination area) of the photographed image at the previous visit of the contractor's house and the determination point (determination of the photographed image at the current visit) based on the preset coordinate value and its range. If the two images do not match (for example, the position of the potted plant placed at the entrance is shifted), it is determined that there is an abnormality, and abnormality information is sent to the patrol person terminal 11. Send. For example, 95% is set as a threshold value as a criterion for determining whether or not there is a match.

  When receiving the abnormality information, the terminal control unit 116 of the patrol person terminal 11 controls the alarm output unit 115 to notify that there is an abnormality in the house where the image was taken. The notification method by the alarm output unit 115 at this time may be a notification by a buzzer sound or a notification by voice synthesis (for example, a message such as “There is an abnormality in the house just taken”). Thereby, the security guard can immediately reconfirm whether there is an abnormality in the house.

  In the first embodiment, when it is determined that there is an abnormality, an abnormality signal is also transmitted to the contractor terminal 31 of the corresponding contractor. At this time, the image information of the house taken this time may be transmitted together. Thereby, the resident of the house who is a contractor can take a quick response such as returning home immediately.

  Further, when it is determined that there is an abnormality, it may be transmitted to the contractor terminal 31 of another contractor who lives in the vicinity of the abnormal-occurring house. In this case, it may be sent to all contractors in the specified area, but as the urgency, the contractor's residence in the same area (Chome) is the most targeted, so the contract that resides in the same chome first You may make it transmit only to a person. In this way, by notifying the contractor living in the vicinity of the occurrence of the abnormality, the subsequent damage can be reduced, and the crime prevention effect of the whole area can be further enhanced.

  The above is the description related to the comparison process between the previous image information and the current image information.

<Description of transmission processing of various information including image information to contractor>
The security management device 21 performs image comparison as described above to determine the presence or absence of an abnormality. Separately from this, the security management device 21 periodically (for example, every time a guard goes around) periodically stores information in the information management file 22. The stored information is transmitted to the contractor terminal 31 for each contractor.

  For example, with respect to the contractor terminal 31 of the contractor A (ID number “aaaa”), it is stored in the captured image of the house stored in the current captured image column 223 and the current captured date and time column 224. The information on the shooting date and time, the captured image of the park stored in the column 227 of the additional shooting image, and the information on the shooting date and time stored in the column 228 of the shooting date are transmitted. In addition, for the contractor terminal 31 of the contractor B (ID number “bbbb”), it is stored in the captured image of the house stored in the current captured image column 223 and the current captured date and time column 224. Information of the shooting date and time, the shot image of the attending school road stored in the column 227 of the additional shot image, and the information of the shooting date and time stored in the column 228 of the shooting date and time are transmitted. Further, for the contractor terminal 31 of the contractor C (ID number “cccc”), the contracted terminal 31 stored in the current captured image column 223 and the current captured date and time column 224 are stored. Information of the shooting date and time, the captured image of the front road stored in the column 227 of additional shooting image, and the information of shooting date and time stored in the column 228 of shooting date and time are transmitted.

  Here, as the contractor terminal 31, it is possible to use various portable information terminals such as a mobile personal computer and a PDA as well as the most popular mobile phone.

<Embodiment 2>
In Embodiment 1 described above, it was necessary to capture and capture the shooting point with a map brought by the security guard himself during the patrol. However, in Embodiment 2, the shooting point is detected by the traveling terminal 11 itself and the security guard is used. This is different from the first embodiment described above. In relation to this, the storage processing of image information in the management information file 22 in the security management device 21 is also slightly different from that in the first embodiment.

  FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating an electrical configuration of the traveler terminal 11 according to the second embodiment.

  In addition to the configuration of the visitor terminal 11 of the first embodiment, the visitor terminal 11 of the second embodiment includes a position measurement unit 117a that measures the position of the visitor, that is, the position of the visitor terminal 11 itself, a visit route, and shooting. For example, a car navigation device 117 including a voice output unit 117b for notifying the arrival of the point by a synthesized voice is provided. The position measuring unit 117a can use, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) positioning system that can obtain position coordinates by receiving radio waves from a satellite. That is, although not shown in the drawing, it is configured to include a GPS receiving unit having a GPS receiving antenna, a position calculating unit, a map data storage unit, and the like. Various systems have been proposed for the GPS positioning system, and these systems can also be used in the device 117, so detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, in the information management file 22, in addition to the data structure shown in FIG. 3, a region code column 41 and a patrol route column 42 are added, and the current photographed image column 223 is added. On the other hand, a shooting point and its position information column 43 for shooting the house from the front are added, and a shooting point and its position information column 44 are added to the additional shot image column 227.

  That is, in the example of the first embodiment with respect to the additional photographed image column 227, the contractor A is added with the photographing point P9 for photographing the park and its position information (E1, N1). For the contractor B, a shooting point P10 for shooting the school road and the position information (E2, N2) are added, and for the contractor C, the shooting point for shooting the road situation in front of the house. P3 (in this case, the same as the shooting point for shooting the house from the front) and its position information (E3, N3) are added. In addition, the traveling route column 42 stores information on the traveling route indicated by a broken line in FIG. 2 and position information that serves as a point for instructing the traveling route (a right turn location or a left turn location at the intersection).

  Next, a processing operation when a guard who is a patrolman patrols a predetermined area using the security patrol service system having the above configuration will be described.

  Prior to the patrol, the security guard inputs the area code from the traveling patrol terminal 11 and transmits it to the security management device 21. The security management device 21 searches the information management file 22 using this area code as a key, and information on the traveling route corresponding to the area code and the fields 43, 43 for the shooting points and their position information for all contractors A to H. All the information stored in 44 is downloaded to the patrol person terminal 11. The visitor terminal 11 stores the downloaded information in the position measurement unit 117a. As a result, information necessary for instructing a shooting point on the patrol route is set in the patrol person terminal 11.

  Thereafter, the security guard also brings a map of the predetermined area shown in FIGS. 2 and 5 and heads for patrol of the predetermined area.

  When the security guard arrives at the predetermined area, the direction of the traveling direction is started from the voice output unit 117b according to the position measurement result by the position measurement unit 117a based on the stored route information. The guard starts the patrol according to this instruction. When the camera arrives at the shooting point P1, the voice output unit 117b informs the user that the camera has arrived at the shooting point P1, so the security guard reconfirms the shooting point P1 with the map he brought and then visually confirms the contractor's house. And photographing the house from the front, for example, using the imaging unit 112. At this time, before photographing or after photographing, the contractor ID number “aaa” and the type information “s1” added to the photographing point P1 on the map are input, and these information and the photographed image are combined. It transmits to the security management device 21.

  In the security management device 21, the received image information is stored in the information management file 22. Since the processing for storing the image information is the same as that in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted in the second embodiment. The security management device 21 compares the previous image information with the current image information. Since this comparison process has also been described in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted here.

  Next, according to the instruction of the car navigation device 117, the traveling route is followed and the same processing is performed at the shooting point P2. Then, when the security guard arrives at the next shooting point P3, the voice output unit 117b arrives at the shooting point P3. Therefore, the security guard reconfirms the photographing point P3 with the map he brought, and then visually confirms the contractor's house, and uses the imaging unit 112 to photograph the house from the front, for example. At this time, before or after shooting, the contractor ID number “cccc” and the type information “s1” added to the shooting point P3 are input, and the security management apparatus combines these information and the shot image. To 21. In the security management device 21, the received image information is stored in the information management file 22.
