Description

  The present invention relates to a monitoring system that monitors the state of a monitoring target.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a monitor system (locking / unlocking state monitoring device) for monitoring the locking / unlocking state of a house window. The monitor system includes a sensor device (child device) and a monitor device (parent device). The sensor device detects a locked / unlocked state of the window. Then, the sensor device receives an ID code signal including an ID code individually set for each sensor device and a status code (locked status code or unlocked status code) indicating a locked / unlocked state of the window monitored by the sensor device. Send to the outside.

  On the other hand, when the monitor device receives the ID code signal transmitted from the sensor device, the monitor device identifies the sensor device from the ID code included in the ID code signal. The monitor device recognizes the locked / unlocked state of the window monitored by the identified sensor device from the status code also included in the ID code signal. The monitor device visually notifies whether the window is in a locked state or an unlocked state. As a result, a house resident with the monitor system installed can accurately grasp the locked / unlocked state of the window only by looking at the contents of the notification from the monitor device.

Here, the monitor device has a home mode and a warning mode. The home mode is a mode on the assumption that the home mode is set while a householder is at home. For this reason, in the home mode, visual notification of the locked / unlocked state of the window is mainly performed, and the buzzer sounds for a short time when the window is unlocked. On the other hand, the alert mode is a mode premised on being set when the housekeeper goes out. For this reason, in the alert mode, the buzzer sounds for a long time when the window is unlocked.
JP 2002-115429 A

  Now, in order to monitor the locking / unlocking state of the window using the monitor system, it is necessary to register the sensor device in the monitor device in advance. Here, when registering the sensor device in the monitor device, the sensor device is first installed on the window. Then, the monitor device is shifted to the registration mode by operating the registration switch of the monitor device. Then, on the monitor device side, the LED associated with the sensor device to be registered blinks.

  Then, by locking and unlocking the window in this state, the sensor device is now shifted to the registration mode. Then, a registration including an ID code individually set for each sensor device and an index code serving as an index for specifying on the monitor device side that the ID code is an ID code for registration from the sensor device. Signal is transmitted. When the registration signal is received by the monitor device, the ID code included in the registration signal is registered in the monitor device as an ID code of the sensor device to be registered. And the completion of registration of a sensor apparatus is alert | reported by sounding the buzzer of a monitor apparatus. Thereafter, when the registration switch of the monitor device is operated, a series of registration work is completed.

  By the way, if the sensor device for detecting the locking / unlocking state of the window can also be used as the sensor device for detecting the locking / unlocking state of the door, it is convenient that the sensor device can be shared. However, the window is not for the housekeeper to go in and out when going out and going home, but the door is for the housekeeper to go in and out when going out and go home. For this reason, the buzzer of the monitor device will be sounded for a long time when the monitor device is set in the alert mode and the door is unlocked when returning home.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a monitor system capable of giving a sensor device versatility.

  In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 includes a sensor device that detects a state of a monitoring target, and a monitoring device that notifies the state of the monitoring target detected by the sensor device, After the ID code set individually for each device is registered in the monitor device, an ID code signal including the ID code of the sensor device and the status code indicating the status of the monitoring target detected by the sensor device is detected by the sensor. In the monitoring system in which the monitoring device is notified of the state of the monitoring target detected by the sensor device when the ID code signal transmitted from the device is received by the monitoring device, the monitoring device registers the sensor device. Registration means for transferring the monitor device to a possible registration mode, wherein the registration means receives an ID code of an unregistered sensor device during the registration mode. When it is obtained, the normal registration for the purpose of notifying the sensor device of the state of the monitoring target detected by the sensor device is performed, while the ID of the sensor device that has been normally registered during the registration mode. When the code is acquired, special registration different from the normal registration is performed on the sensor device.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the monitor system according to the first aspect, each time the registration unit acquires an ID code of a normally registered sensor device during the registration mode, One of the different special registrations is performed.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the monitor system according to the second aspect, the registration unit gives a priority to each of the plurality of special registrations, and the registration unit is normally registered during the registration mode. Each time the ID code of the sensor device is acquired, special registration selected according to the priority order is performed on the sensor device.

The “action” of the present invention will be described below.
According to the first aspect of the present invention, when an ID code of an unregistered sensor device is acquired by the registration means during the registration mode, normal registration is performed on the sensor device by the registration means. On the other hand, when the ID code of the normally registered sensor device is acquired by the registration unit during the registration mode, special registration is performed on the sensor device by the registration unit. In short, it is possible to register differently for the sensor device. For this reason, the sensor device can be used for each of different uses.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, different registrations including normal registration and each of a plurality of special registrations can be performed on the sensor device. For this reason, the uses of the sensor device are expanded. Therefore, high versatility can be given to the sensor device.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, for example, if a higher priority is assigned to a special registration that is used more frequently, the number of times of transition to the registration mode can be reduced. Therefore, convenience can be improved.

Since this invention is comprised as mentioned above, there exist the following effects.
According to the invention of any one of claims 1 to 3, the sensor device can be provided with versatility.

Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is embodied in a residential monitor system will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the monitor system 1 includes a sensor device 2 and a monitor device 3. The sensor device 2 is for detecting the state of the monitoring target. The monitor device 3 is for notifying the state of the monitoring target detected by the sensor device 2. The monitor system 1 can perform unidirectional communication between the sensor device 2 (transmission side) and the monitor device 3 (reception side).

  In the monitor system 1 of the present embodiment, sensor devices 2A to 2E exist as the sensor device 2. The sensor device 2A is for detecting the locking / unlocking state of the window A (monitoring target) on the first floor of the house. The sensor device 2B is for detecting the locking / unlocking state of the window B (monitoring target) on the first floor of the house. The sensor device 2C is for detecting the locking / unlocking state of the window C (monitoring target) on the second floor of the house. The sensor device 2D is for detecting the locking / unlocking state of the window D (monitoring target) on the second floor of the house. The sensor device 2E is for detecting the locking / unlocking state of the front door E on the first floor of the house. Therefore, the monitor system 1 of the present embodiment can perform unidirectional communication between each of the sensor devices 2A to 2E (transmission side) and the monitor device 3 (reception side).

  In addition, each structure of sensor apparatus 2A-2E is mutually the same. Accordingly, the description of the common features of the sensor devices 2A to 2E is substituted for the description of the sensor device 2 except for the description of the characteristic points of the sensor devices 2A to 2E.

  The sensor device 2 has a transmission function. The sensor device 2 includes a reed switch 21, a microcomputer 22, a transmission circuit 23, and a transmission antenna 24. The reed switch 21 is for detecting the locked / unlocked state to be monitored. The reed switch 21 is turned on when the monitoring target is in the locked state (locked state), and outputs a detection signal indicating that the monitoring target is in the locked state to the microcomputer 22. On the other hand, the reed switch 21 is turned OFF when the monitoring target is in the unlocked state (unlocked state), and outputs a detection signal indicating that the monitoring target is in the unlocked state to the microcomputer 22.

  Incidentally, the reed switch 21 is a magnetic sensor capable of detecting a magnet built in an operated means operated to lock and unlock a monitoring target (any of the windows A to D and the entrance door E). That is, the reed switch 21 is turned on when the operation target is operated and the magnet is brought close to the reed switch 21 when the monitoring target is locked. On the other hand, the reed switch 21 is turned off when the operated device is operated and the magnet moves away from the reed switch 21 when the monitoring target is unlocked.

  The microcomputer 22 is a CPU unit including a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like (not shown). The microcomputer 22 includes a nonvolatile memory 22a. The memory 22a stores an ID code (ID code of the sensor device 2) set individually for each sensor device 2. Here, the first ID code is stored in the memory 22a of the sensor device 2A. A second ID code is stored in the memory 22a of the sensor device 2B. A third ID code is stored in the memory 22a of the sensor device 2C. The fourth ID code is stored in the memory 22a of the sensor device 2D. The fifth ID code is stored in the memory 22a of the sensor device 2E.

  When the detection signal is input from the reed switch 21, the microcomputer 22 transmits an ID code signal including the ID code of the sensor device 2 and the status code indicating the lock / unlock state of the monitoring target detected by the sensor device 2. Output to the circuit 23. That is, when the detection signal indicating that the monitoring target is in the locked state is input from the reed switch 21, the microcomputer 22 receives the ID code of the sensor device 2 and the locking state code indicating that the monitoring target is in the locked state. Is output to the transmission circuit 23. On the other hand, when the detection signal indicating that the monitoring target is in the unlocked state is input from the reed switch 21, the microcomputer 22 unlocks the ID code of the sensor device 2 and indicates that the monitoring target is in the unlocked state. An ID code signal including the status code is output to the transmission circuit 23.

  The transmission circuit 23 modulates the ID code signal input from the microcomputer 22 into a radio wave having a predetermined frequency (426 MHz in this embodiment). The transmission antenna 24 is a medium for transmitting the ID code signal modulated by the transmission circuit 23 to the outside. Incidentally, the ID code signal transmitted from the sensor device 2A is a first ID code signal including a first ID code. The ID code signal transmitted from the sensor device 2B is a second ID code signal including a second ID code. The ID code signal transmitted from the sensor device 2C is a third ID code signal including a third ID code. The ID code signal transmitted from the sensor device 2D is a fourth ID code signal including a fourth ID code. The ID code signal transmitted from the sensor device 2E is a fifth ID code signal including a fifth ID code.

  The monitor device 3 has a reception function. The monitor device 3 includes a receiving antenna 31, a receiving circuit 32, a microcomputer 33, a display unit 34, a buzzer 35, and a registration switch 36. The receiving antenna 31 is a medium for receiving an ID code signal transmitted from the sensor device 2. When an ID code signal is received by the receiving antenna 31, the receiving circuit 32 demodulates the ID code signal to generate a received signal, and outputs the received signal to the microcomputer 33.

  The microcomputer 33 is a CPU unit including a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like (not shown). The microcomputer 33 includes a nonvolatile memory 33a. The memory 33a stores the same ID code (residential ID code) as the ID code of the sensor device 2. In the present embodiment, the memory 33a stores the same ID code (first ID code to fifth ID code on the house side) as each of the first ID code of the sensor device 2A to the fifth ID code of the sensor device 2E.

  In particular, as shown in FIG. 2, each ID code on the house side is stored in the memory 33 a in association with each of LEDs 34 a to 34 e of the display unit 34 described later. Incidentally, the first ID code is associated with the LED 34a. The second ID code is associated with the LED 34b. The third ID code is associated with the LED 34c. The fourth ID code is associated with the LED 34d. The fifth ID code is associated with the LED 34e.

  When the reception signal is input from the reception circuit 32, the microcomputer 33 determines whether the ID code of the sensor device 2 matches any of the ID codes on the house side. That is, in this case, the microcomputer 33 executes ID code verification. When both ID codes match, the microcomputer 33 outputs a light emission command signal to the LED (any one of the LEDs 34a to 34e) associated with the matched ID code (any one of the first ID code to the fifth ID code). . Moreover, the microcomputer 33 includes an ID code that is the same as any of the ID codes on the house side in the received signal input from the receiving circuit 32, and an unlocked state code is included in the received signal. The ringing command signal is output to the buzzer 35.

  The display unit 34 includes LEDs 34a to 34e. Each of the LEDs 34 a to 34 e emits light when a light emission command signal is input from the microcomputer 33. Each of the LEDs 34a to 34e is a two-color LED. That is, each of the LEDs 34a to 34e emits green light, and also emits red light. The buzzer 35 rings when a ringing command signal is input from the microcomputer 33.

  The registration switch 36 is operated to shift the monitor device 3 to the registration mode. The registration mode is a mode in which the sensor device 2 can be registered with the monitor device 3. Details of the registration mode will be described later.

  Incidentally, the monitor device 3 has a home mode and a warning mode in addition to the registration mode. The home mode is a mode on the assumption that the home mode is set while a householder is at home. The vigilance mode is a mode premised on being set when a householder goes out. Hereinafter, the notification mode of the locked / unlocked state to be monitored will be described for each mode.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the display part 34, the notation which shows the monitoring object is given to the position corresponding to each of LED34a-34e. Incidentally, the notation “first floor window A” is given at the position corresponding to the LED 34a. The position corresponding to the LED 34b is labeled “first floor window B”. At the position corresponding to the LED 34c, the notation "second floor window C" is given. The position corresponding to the LED 34d is labeled “second floor window D”. At the position corresponding to the LED 34e, “entrance door E” is marked.

  When the window A on the first floor is locked in the home mode, the LED 34a is lit in green. Similarly, when the window B (window C, window D, entrance door E) is locked in the home mode, the LED 34b (34c, 34d, 34e) is lit in green.

  On the other hand, when the window A on the first floor is unlocked in the home mode, the LED 34a is lit red. Similarly, when the window B (window C, window D, entrance door E) is unlocked in the home mode, the LED 34b (34c, 34d, 34e) is lit red. In particular, when at least one of the windows A to D and the entrance door E is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state in the home mode, the buzzer 35 is sounded for a short time.

  On the other hand, when the window A on the first floor is locked in the alert mode, the LED 34a is lit in green. Similarly, when the window B (window C, window D, entrance door E) is locked in the alert mode, the LED 34b (34c, 34d, 34e) is lit in green.

  On the other hand, when the first floor window A is unlocked in the alert mode, the LED 34a blinks red. Similarly, when the window B (window C, window D, entrance door E) is in the unlocked state in the alert mode, the LED 34b (34c, 34d, 34e) blinks red. In particular, when at least one of the windows A to D and the entrance door E is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state in the alert mode, the buzzer 35 is sounded for a long time.

Next, characteristic points of the monitor system 1 will be described.
Now, in order to notify the locked / unlocked state to be monitored in the home mode or the alert mode as described above, the sensor device 2 needs to be registered in the monitor device 3 in advance. The procedure for registering the sensor device 2 in the monitor device 3 will be described below.

  First, the sensor device 2 is installed on the monitoring target. In the present embodiment, the sensor device 2A is installed in the window A on the first floor of the house. The sensor device 2B is installed in the window B on the first floor of the house. The sensor device 2C is installed in the window C on the second floor of the house. The sensor device 2D is installed in the window D on the second floor of the house. The sensor device 2E is installed at the entrance door E on the first floor of the house.

  Then, the registration switch 36 of the monitor device 3 is operated. Then, the monitor 33 is shifted to the registration mode by the microcomputer 33. Then, the LED (LED 34a in this embodiment) associated with the sensor device 2 to be registered (sensor device 2A in the present embodiment is the first registration target) blinks in green.

  In this state, the window A on the first floor is locked and unlocked a plurality of times. Then, the magnet built in the operated means operated to lock and unlock the window A is brought close to the reed switch 21 of the sensor device 2A or moved away from the reed switch 21. For this reason, the reed switch 21 is turned ON or OFF. Then, the sensor device 2A is shifted to the registration mode by the microcomputer 22 of the sensor device 2A. Then, from the sensor device 2A, an ID code (first ID code) of the sensor device 2A and an index code serving as an index for specifying on the monitor device 3 side that the first ID code is an ID code for registration A registration signal including is transmitted.

  When the registration signal is received by the monitor device 3, the ID code (in this case, the first ID code) included in the registration signal is the sensor device 2 to be registered (in this case, the sensor). It is registered in the monitor device 3 as being the ID code of the device 2A). That is, the microcomputer 33 associates the first ID code with the LED 34a. Then, the buzzer 35 is sounded only once for a short time and the LED 34a is turned on in green from the green blinking state to notify the completion of registration of the sensor device 2A. In addition, this time, the LED 34b blinks in green, thereby notifying that the next sensor device 2 (sensor device 2B in this embodiment) can be registered in the monitor device 3.

  In this state, when the window B on the first floor is locked and unlocked a plurality of times, the sensor device 2B is registered in the monitor device 3 as described above. When the registration of the sensor device 2B is completed, the LED 34c blinks green this time, so that the next sensor device 2 (sensor device 2C in the present embodiment) can be registered in the monitor device 3. Is notified. In this way, registration to the monitor device 3 is performed in the order of the sensor devices 2A to 2E.

  Thereafter, the registration switch 36 of the monitor device 3 is operated. Then, the registration mode of the monitor device 3 is canceled by the microcomputer 33. Then, the monitor 33 is shifted from the registration mode to the home mode by the microcomputer 33. As a result, the monitoring device 3 notifies the monitored / unlocked state detected by each of the sensor devices 2A to 2E. In short, the registration performed through the above procedure is normal registration for the purpose of informing the monitoring device 3 of the monitored / unlocked state detected by the sensor device 2. The normal registration is performed when the microcomputer 33 acquires the ID code of the unregistered sensor device 2 during the registration mode of the monitor device 3.

  Here, in the monitor system 1 of this embodiment, all the sensor devices 2 (sensor devices 2A to 2E) are shared. That is, the sensor device 2 (sensor device 2E) for detecting the locking / unlocking state of the door (entrance door E) is a sensor device 2 (for detecting the locking / unlocking state of the window (any of windows A to D)). Any one of the sensor devices 2A to 2D). For this reason, simply performing normal registration for each of all the sensor devices 2 (sensor devices 2A to 2E), after setting the monitor device 3 in the alert mode and going out, unlock the entrance door E when returning home. When locked, the buzzer 35 of the monitor device 3 is sounded for a long time.

  Therefore, in the monitor system 1 of the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which special registration different from normal registration can be performed for each of all the sensor devices 2 (sensor devices 2A to 2E). Needless to say, in the special registration, even when the entrance door E is unlocked when returning home after the monitor device 3 is set in the alert mode, the predetermined time elapses after the entrance door E is unlocked. This is registration for preventing the buzzer 35 of the monitor device 3 from sounding for a long time only when a predetermined operation is performed within the period. By the way, even if special registration is performed, the buzzer 35 of the monitor device 3 is not operated for a long time when a predetermined operation is not performed within a period from when the entrance door E is unlocked until a predetermined time elapses. It is ringed. The predetermined operation is generally realized by inputting a password. Hereinafter, a procedure for specially registering the sensor device 2 in the monitor device 3 will be described.

  First, the registration switch 36 of the monitor device 3 is operated. Then, similarly to the normal registration, the monitor 33 is shifted to the registration mode by the microcomputer 33, and the LED 34a associated with the sensor device 2A blinks in green. The monitor device 3 includes a skip switch (not shown). And in this embodiment, in order to perform special registration with respect to the sensor apparatus 2E for detecting the locking / unlocking state of the front door E, it is performed several times until the LED 34e associated with the sensor apparatus 2E blinks in green. And operate the skip switch.

  Then, the front door E is locked and unlocked a plurality of times in a state where the LED 34e is blinking in green. Then, as in the normal registration, the sensor device 2E specifies on the monitor device 3 side that the ID code (fifth ID code) of the sensor device 2E and that the fifth ID code is an ID code for registration. A registration signal including an index code serving as an index of is transmitted.

  When the registration signal is received by the monitor device 3, that is, when the fifth ID code of the normally registered sensor device 2E is acquired by the microcomputer 33 during the registration mode, the microcomputer 33 acquires the sensor device 2E. Is specially registered. Then, the buzzer 35 is sounded twice over a short period of time, and the LED 34e is lit in green from the green blinking state, thereby informing the completion of the special registration of the sensor device 2E.

  Thereafter, when the registration switch 36 of the monitor device 3 is operated, the registration mode of the monitor device 3 is canceled by the microcomputer 33. Then, the monitor 33 is shifted from the registration mode to the home mode by the microcomputer 33. As a result, the monitoring device 3 notifies the monitored / unlocked state detected by each of the sensor devices 2A to 2E. In particular, even when the entrance door E is unlocked when returning home after the monitor device 3 is set in the alert mode, the predetermined time is required until a predetermined time elapses after the entrance door E is unlocked. Only when the above operation is performed, the buzzer 35 of the monitor device 3 is not sounded for a long time.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the following operations and effects can be obtained.
(1) When an ID code of an unregistered sensor device 2 is acquired by the microcomputer 33 during the registration mode of the monitor device 3, normal registration is performed on the sensor device 2 by the microcomputer 33. On the other hand, when the ID code of the normally registered sensor device 2 is acquired by the microcomputer 33 during the registration mode of the monitor device 3, special registration is performed on the sensor device 2 by the microcomputer 33. In short, different registrations can be made to the sensor device 2. For this reason, the sensor device 2 can be used for each of different uses. Accordingly, the sensor device 2 can be versatile.

  (2) Unlike the present embodiment, the monitor device 3 is provided with a special registration switch different from the registration switch 36, and normal registration is performed based on the operation of the registration switch 36, while special registration switch 36 is provided based on the operation of the special registration switch. In a configuration for performing registration, a special registration switch is essential, which is not preferable. In the present embodiment, the registration switch 36 is provided both when performing normal registration with the sensor device 2 and when performing special registration with the sensor device 2. Therefore, special registration can be performed without using a special registration switch. This leads to a reduction in size and weight of the monitor device 3.

  (3) To detect the configuration of the sensor device 2 (sensor devices 2A to 2D) for detecting the locked state of the window (any of the windows A to D) and the locked state of the door (the entrance door E). The sensor device 2 (sensor device 2E) can be made common (however, each ID code of each sensor device 2 is different).

  (4) A sensor device 2 (sensor devices 2A to 2D) for detecting the locking / unlocking state of the window (any of windows A to D) is a sensor device for detecting the locking / unlocking state of the door (entrance door E). 2 (sensor device 2E).

  (5) It is only necessary to prepare a plurality of registration modes (normal registration, special registration) for the sensor device 2 on the monitor device 3 side, and it is not necessary to prepare a plurality of types of sensor devices 2 (however, each of the sensor devices 2). ID code is different). In short, without depending on the configuration of the sensor device 2, the sensor device 2 can be provided with versatility simply by changing the software on the monitor device 3 side.

  (6) The number of sounds of the buzzer 35 is different when normal registration is completed and special registration is completed. Therefore, based on the difference in the number of rings of the buzzer 35, it is possible to accurately grasp whether normal registration or special registration has been completed. This leads to avoiding erroneous registration.

  (7) By performing special registration for the sensor device 2E, the entrance door E is unlocked even if the entrance door E is unlocked when returning home after setting the monitor device 3 in the alert mode and going out. The buzzer 35 of the monitor device 3 is not sounded for a long time only when a predetermined operation is performed within a period until the predetermined time elapses. In other words, the buzzer 35 is not sounded when a housekeeper who can know the necessity of the predetermined operation returns. Therefore, it goes without saying that convenience can be improved.

In addition, the said embodiment can also be changed and actualized as follows.
-You may embody in the monitor system 1 which can perform either normal registration with respect to the sensor apparatus 2, and each of several different special registration from each other. In this case, each time the microcomputer 33 obtains the ID code of the sensor device 2 that has been normally registered during the registration mode of the monitor device 3, any one of a plurality of special registrations different from each other by the microcomputer 33 with respect to the sensor device 2. Is done. If comprised in this way, it is possible to perform mutually different registration including normal registration and each of several special registration with respect to the sensor apparatus 2. FIG. For this reason, the uses of the sensor device 2 are expanded. Accordingly, the sensor device 2 can be highly versatile.

  In the monitor system 1 capable of performing either normal registration or different special registrations with the sensor device 2 as described above, the microcomputer 33 prioritizes each of the special registrations in advance. You may employ | adopt the structure to which the order | rank is provided. In this case, every time the microcomputer 33 acquires the ID code of the sensor device 2 that has been normally registered during the registration mode of the monitor device 3, the microcomputer 33 selects the special sensor that is selected for the sensor device 2 according to the priority order. Registration is performed. With this configuration, for example, if the higher priority is given to the special registration with higher usage frequency, the monitor device 3 can reduce the number of times of transition to the registration mode. Therefore, convenience can be improved.
