Description

  The present invention relates to a building state monitoring device that monitors the locking / unlocking state of, for example, a building door or window.

  Conventionally, for the purpose of improving the security level of a building such as a house, a building state monitoring system (locking / unlocking state monitoring device) that monitors the locking / unlocking state of a window of a house or the like has been disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 1). .

  This building state monitoring system includes a sensor device (child device) and a monitor device (parent device). The sensor device detects the unlocked / unlocked state of the window, and an ID code individually set for each sensor device and a status code (locked state code or unlocked state code) indicating the unlocked / unlocked state of the window monitored by itself. An ID code signal including the above is transmitted 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.

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 when the window is unlocked, the buzzer is sounded for a very short time. On the other hand, the alert mode is a mode that is set on the premise that the alarm mode is set when going out of the house and leaving the house or at bedtime. For this reason, in the alert mode, the buzzer sounds for a long time when the window is unlocked.
JP 2002-115429 A

  However, in such a conventional building condition monitoring system, when the warning mode is set while the householder is at home, the householder inadvertently unlocks the window or the like without canceling the warning mode. In addition, an alarm is issued from the monitor device. Although such an operation is normal as an operation of the building state monitoring system, there is a risk that it may be inconvenient for a householder. For example, under the circumstances where windows may be opened and closed frequently, such as at bedtime in summer, if the monitor device is set to a warning mode at bedtime, the householder then opens and closes the window for air conditioning. To do this, you must cancel the alert mode. As described above, when the security mode is set for crime prevention while the householder is at home, the security mode must be canceled once in order for the householder to open and close windows and the like thereafter. Therefore, there is a risk that the householder may feel that this operation is complicated.

  This invention is made | formed in view of such a situation, The objective is to provide the state monitoring apparatus for buildings which can aim at the further improvement of convenience.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, in the invention described in claim 1, based on a registration mode in which a plurality of sensor devices for detecting a corresponding monitoring target state can be registered, and an input signal from the registered sensor device A monitoring mode for monitoring the status of the corresponding monitoring target, and a state monitoring device for buildings provided with a monitoring control means for selectively switching to a warning mode for issuing an alarm when the status of the monitoring target changes, The gist of the monitoring control means is to perform group mode switching control for grouping sensor devices to be registered and selectively switching to the registration mode, the monitoring mode, and the warning mode for each group.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the building state monitoring apparatus according to the first aspect, the monitoring control means is at least one of a new registration of the sensor device and a selection of an already registered sensor device. The gist is that the grouping is possible.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the building state monitoring apparatus according to the first or second aspect, the monitoring control means is configured such that an existing operation unit used for another function is used for the other function. The gist is to group the sensor devices on the condition that they are operated in a mode different from the operation mode at the time of being performed.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the building state monitoring device according to any one of the first to third aspects, the grouped sensor devices are selected as the monitoring control means in the registration mode. When the special setting operation means is operated in a state, all sensor devices belonging to the group are different from the normal monitoring mode in which an alarm is immediately issued when the state of the monitoring target is changed in the warning mode. The gist is to perform special registration processing for registering as a special monitoring target to be monitored.

  A fifth aspect of the present invention is the building state monitoring device according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, further comprising a plurality of state display means for individually displaying the states of the sensor devices. And

The “action” of the present invention will be described below.
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the sensor devices registered in the monitor device can be grouped by grouping processing by the monitoring control means. When the grouping is performed, the registration mode, the monitoring mode, and the warning mode can be selectively switched for each group. For this reason, it becomes possible to perform individual mode setting for each group according to the user's needs, and convenience is improved. For example, when a building state monitoring device is applied to a two-story house and the lock / unlock state of windows and doors is monitored, each sensor device that detects the lock / unlock state of windows and doors on the first floor and the second floor If the sensor devices that detect the locking and unlocking of windows are set in different groups, the groups can be set in different modes. Specifically, only the sensor devices on the first floor can be set in the alert mode, and the sensor devices on the second floor can be set in the monitor mode. If it does in this way, even if the 2nd floor window is unlocked in a state where the sensor device on the 1st floor is set to the alert mode, no alarm is issued. Therefore, the second floor window can be freely unlocked and opened / closed while maintaining the security of the first floor, and the convenience is improved.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, when grouping is possible at the time of new registration of the sensor device, grouping is also performed in a series of operations for newly registering the sensor device. be able to. In addition, when grouping of already registered sensor devices is possible, grouping of sensor devices after registration can be performed freely. Therefore, convenience in performing grouping can be further improved.

According to the invention described in claim 3, since it is not necessary to newly provide an operation unit for performing grouping, an increase in the number of parts is suppressed.
According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, when the special setting operation means is not operated during registration of the sensor device, the monitoring control means registers the sensor device as a normal monitoring target to be monitored in a normal manner (normal registration). ). In contrast, when the special setting operation unit is operated during registration of the sensor device, the monitoring control unit registers the sensor device as a special monitoring target for monitoring in a mode different from the monitoring mode in the normal registration state. Yes (special registration). Therefore, the monitoring control means can recognize the sensor device that has performed normal registration and the sensor device that has performed special registration. Thus, for example, in the warning mode, when an input signal indicating that the state of the monitoring target has changed is input from the normally registered sensor device, the monitoring control means can immediately issue an alarm to that effect. On the other hand, for example, in the warning mode, when an input signal indicating that the state of the monitoring target has changed is input from the specially registered sensor device, the monitoring control means warns that the predetermined time has elapsed. Can be issued. That is, the monitoring control unit can control one type of sensor device in different modes. Therefore, in the case of adopting such an example, a normally registered sensor device can be used as a window sensor device, and a specially registered sensor device can be used as a door sensor device. can do. Therefore, it is possible to further improve convenience while suppressing a decrease in security level. In addition, since such special registration covers all of the selected groups, it is not necessary to specially register each sensor device, and the work for the special registration is facilitated.

  According to invention of Claim 5, the user can recognize the state of each sensor apparatus easily and reliably by visually recognizing a display means.

  As described above in detail, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a building state monitoring device capable of improving convenience.

Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is embodied in a state monitoring system used in a house will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the state monitoring 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, and examples of the monitoring target include locking devices such as windows and doors. The monitor device 3 is for notifying the state of the monitoring target detected by the sensor device 2, and is disposed in a living room, for example. In the present embodiment, the state monitoring system 1 can perform unidirectional wireless communication from the sensor device 2 (transmission side) to the monitor device 3 (reception side). In addition, in the state monitoring system 1 of this embodiment, the example using 11 sensor apparatuses 2A-2K as the sensor apparatus 2 is shown. Specifically, the sensor devices 2A to 2G are provided corresponding to the windows A to E (monitoring target), the doorway F (monitoring target) and the entrance door G (monitoring target) on the first floor of the house, respectively. E, the doorway F, and the entrance door G are set to detect the locked and unlocked state. In addition, the sensor devices 2H to 2K are provided corresponding to the windows H to K (monitoring targets) on the second floor of the house, and are set to detect the locked / unlocked states of the windows H to K, respectively. . These sensor devices 2A to 2K all have the same configuration. Therefore, in the following description, each configuration of the sensor devices 2A to 2K will be described as the sensor device 2.

<Configuration of sensor device 2>
The sensor device 2 has a wireless transmission function, and includes a detection unit (in this embodiment, a reed switch) 21, a sensor side microcomputer (sensor side microcomputer) 22, a transmission circuit 23, and a transmission antenna 24. The detection unit 21 is for detecting the locked / unlocked state of the monitoring target. When the monitoring target is in the locked state (locked state), the detection unit 21 is in the ON state, and a detection signal indicating the ON state is sent to the sensor side. Output to the microcomputer 22. On the other hand, when the monitoring target is in the unlocked state (unlocked state), the detection unit 21 is in the OFF state, and outputs a detection signal indicating the OFF state to the sensor-side microcomputer 22.

  Incidentally, the detection unit 21 can detect a magnet built in an operation unit (for example, an operation knob in a crescent lock) operated to lock and unlock a monitoring target (any of the windows A to D and the entrance door E). It is a magnetic sensor. When the operation unit is operated to lock the monitoring target, the magnet built in the operation unit approaches the detection unit 21, and the detection unit 21 is turned on. On the other hand, when the operation unit is operated to unlock the monitoring target, the magnet moves away from the detection unit 21, and the detection unit 21 is turned off.

  The sensor side microcomputer 22 is a CPU unit including a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like (not shown), and includes a nonvolatile memory 22a. An ID code (ID code of the sensor device 2) set individually for each of the sensor devices 2A to 2E is stored in the memory 22a. Here, the first ID code is recorded in the memory 22a of the sensor device 2A, and the second ID code is recorded in the memory 22a of the sensor device 2B. Similarly, the third to eleventh ID codes are recorded in the memories 22a of the sensor devices 2C to 2K.

  When the detection signal is input from the detection unit 21, the sensor-side microcomputer 22 determines the lock / unlock state of the monitoring target based on the detection signal. That is, when the detection signal indicating the ON state is input, the sensor-side microcomputer 22 determines that the corresponding monitoring target is in the locked state, and when the detection signal indicating the OFF state is input, the corresponding monitoring target is unlocked. Judged to be in a state. Then, the sensor-side microcomputer 22 outputs an ID code signal including the ID code of the sensor device 2 and the status code indicating the monitored / unlocked state detected by the sensor device 2 to the transmission circuit 23. That is, when the detection signal indicating that the monitoring target is in the locked state is input from the detection unit 21, the sensor-side microcomputer 22 and the locking state indicating that the monitoring target is in the locked state. An ID code signal including the code is output to the transmission circuit 23. On the other hand, when the detection signal indicating that the monitoring target is unlocked is input from the detection unit 21, the sensor-side microcomputer 22 indicates the ID code of the sensor device 2 and that the monitoring target is unlocked. An ID code signal including the unlocked state code is output to the transmission circuit 23.

  Further, the sensor side microcomputer 22 enters the sensor registration mode when it repeatedly detects the ON / OFF state of the detection unit 21 for a predetermined number of times in a short time, and indicates that its own ID code and the ID code are registration ID codes. A registration signal including an index code serving as an index for specifying on the monitor device 3 side is output to the transmission circuit 23. In the present embodiment, the sensor-side microcomputer 22 is set to enter the sensor registration mode when the ON / OFF state of the detection unit 21 is repeatedly detected four times in 10 seconds. That is, the sensor-side microcomputer 22 shifts to the sensor registration mode when the monitoring target locking / unlocking operation corresponding to each detection unit 21 is performed in a manner that is not performed by the normal locking / unlocking operation. Yes.

  The transmission circuit 23 modulates the ID code signal and the registration signal input from the sensor-side microcomputer 22 into a radio wave having a predetermined frequency (426 MHz in this embodiment), and transmits the radio wave to the outside via the transmission antenna 24. Incidentally, the ID code signal and the registration signal transmitted from the sensor device 2A are the first ID code signal and the first registration signal including the first ID code. The ID code signal and the registration signal transmitted from the sensor device 2B are the second ID code signal and the second registration signal including the second ID code. Similarly, ID code signals and registration signals transmitted from the sensor devices 2C to 2K become third to eleventh ID code signals and third to eleventh registration signals including the corresponding third to eleventh ID codes, respectively. .

<Configuration of monitor device 3>
As also shown in FIG. 2, the monitor device 3 has a reception function, and includes a reception antenna 31, a reception circuit 32, a monitor side microcomputer (monitor side microcomputer) 33 as a monitoring control means, and a display as a status display means. 34, a buzzer 35, a registration switch 36, a mode changeover switch 37, and a password input switch 38 as special setting operation means. The receiving antenna 31 is electrically connected to the receiving circuit 32, and the receiving circuit 32, the display unit 34, the buzzer 35, the registration switch 36, the mode change switch 37 and the password input switch 38 are electrically connected to the monitor side microcomputer 33. It is connected.

  The receiving antenna 31 is a medium for receiving an ID code signal transmitted from the sensor device 2. When the 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 monitor side microcomputer 33.

  The monitor-side microcomputer 33 is a CPU unit including a CPU, ROM, RAM, and the like (not shown), and includes a nonvolatile memory 33a. In the memory 33a, ID codes of a plurality (for example, 30) of sensor devices 2 can be recorded. In the present embodiment, the memory 33a records ID codes that respectively match the first to eleventh ID codes of the sensor devices 2A to 2K as the first ID code to the eleventh ID code on the house side. In addition, the password (four digits in the present embodiment) input from the password input switch 38 can be recorded in the memory 33a.

  In particular, as shown in FIG. 2, each ID code on the house side is recorded in the memory 33 a in association with each of LEDs 34 a to 34 k of the display unit 34 described later. Incidentally, the first ID code is associated with the LED 34a, and the second ID code is associated with the LED 34b. Similarly, the third to eleventh ID codes are associated with the LEDs 34c to 34k.

  When receiving a reception signal from the reception circuit 32, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 determines whether or not the ID code of the sensor device 2 matches any one of the ID codes on the house side recorded in the memory 33a. to decide. That is, in this case, the monitor side microcomputer 33 executes ID code collation. As a result, when the monitor-side microcomputer 33 determines that the two ID codes match, the LED associated with the matched ID code (any one of the first ID code to the eleventh ID code) (any one of the LEDs 34a to 34k). ) Is output a flash command signal. Moreover, the monitor side microcomputer 33 includes the same ID code as any of the ID codes on the house side in the received signal input from the receiving circuit 32, and the unlocked state code is included in the received signal. When it is determined that there is, a ringing command signal is output to the buzzer 35.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the display unit 34 is configured by a plurality (30 in this embodiment) of light emitting diodes including the LEDs 34 a to 34 k and is provided on the design surface of the monitor device 3. When a light emission command signal is input from the monitor-side microcomputer 33, each LED constituting the display unit 34 emits light with a color / pattern based on the light emission command signal. In this embodiment, each LED can emit light of “green”, “red”, and “orange”. Moreover, in the display part 34, the notation which shows the monitoring object is given to the position corresponding to each of LED34a-34k. Incidentally, the notation of “first floor window A” is given at the position corresponding to LED 34a (LED 34a → first floor window A). Similarly, each of the LEDs 34b to 34k is described so as to have the following correspondence relationship. “LED34b → first floor window B”, “LED34c → first floor window C”, “LED34d → first floor window D”, “LED34e → first floor window E”, “LED34f → first door F”, “LED34g → entrance door G” “LED34h → second floor window H”, “LED34i → second floor window I”, “LED34j → second floor window J”, “LED34k → second floor window K”. In addition, in this embodiment, since all the display parts 34 are comprised by equivalent LED, suppose that description concerning the display part 34 is performed only about LED34a-34k.

The buzzer 35 is provided on the design surface of the monitor device 3 and rings only while the ringing command signal is input from the monitor side microcomputer 33.
In addition to the display unit 34 and the buzzer 35, the design surface of the monitor device 3 is provided with a registration switch 36, a mode change switch 37, and a password input switch 38 each constituted by a push button switch.

  By the way, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 is roughly divided into a home mode, a warning mode, and a registration mode, and is switched to one of these modes. Usually, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 is set to a home mode that is set when there is no need to watch the house, such as when the user (household) is at home, and the registration switch 36 and the mode switch 37 are operated under predetermined conditions. When switching, the mode switches to a registration mode or a warning mode.

  Specifically, the registration mode is a mode in which the ID code of the sensor device 2 can be recorded in the memory 33a, that is, a mode in which the sensor device 2 can be registered in the monitor device 3. The monitor-side microcomputer 33 switches to the registration mode when the registration switch 36 is operated in the home mode.

  The vigilance mode is a mode that is set when it is necessary to exercise vigilance even when a householder is away or at home. Then, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 switches to the alert mode when the mode switch 37 is operated in the home mode. In this embodiment, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 is mainly set to “at-home warning mode” when it is necessary to be vigilant even when the householder is at home, and “out-of-home warning mode” is set mainly when the householder is away. And have. The monitor-side microcomputer 33 switches to the “home warning mode” when the mode changeover switch 37 is operated in the home mode, and enters the “outing warning mode” when the mode changeover switch 37 is further operated in the home warning mode. It is designed to switch.

  Further, in the home warning mode and the going-out warning mode, the monitor side microcomputer 33 switches to the home mode when a password input operation is performed by the password input switch 38. The password input switch 38 is constituted by a plurality of push button switches. In the present embodiment, the first password input switch 38a with the symbol "A" and the second password input switch with the symbol "B" are used. 38b, and a third password input switch 38c with a symbol “C”. Then, the monitor side microcomputer 33 is at home when a password code (in this case, a 4-digit password code) recorded in the memory 33a is input by the password input switches 38a to 38c in the "password input setting mode" described later. Switch to mode.

Therefore, the mode of switching the monitor side microcomputer 33 to various modes and the mode of operation in the various modes will be described with reference to FIGS.
<Home mode>
As shown in FIG. 3, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 is normally in the home mode (item [1]). In this home mode, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 monitors the state of the monitoring target detected by the sensor device 2 registered in the memory 33a, and performs monitoring control to notify the result by the LEDs 34a to 34k and the buzzer 35. Specifically, when the first floor window A is in a locked state, the LED 34a is lit in green. Similarly, when the window B is in the locked state, the LED 34b is lit in green. Similarly, the other LEDs 34c to 34k are lit in green when the corresponding monitoring target is in the locked state. That is, when the monitor-side microcomputer 33 determines that the monitoring target is in the locked state in the home mode, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 outputs a light emission command signal indicating that the corresponding LEDs 34a to 34k are lit in green.

  On the other hand, when the window A on the first floor is in the unlocked state, the LED 34a is lit in red, and when the window B is in the unlocked state, the LED 34b is lit in red. Similarly, the other LEDs 34c to 34k are lit red when the corresponding monitoring target is in the unlocked state. That is, when the monitor-side microcomputer 33 determines that the monitoring target is in the locked state in the home mode, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 outputs a light emission command signal indicating that the corresponding LEDs 34a to 34k are lit in red. In addition, when the monitor-side microcomputer 33 determines that at least one of the various monitoring targets has been switched from the locked state to the unlocked state, it outputs a ringing command signal to the buzzer 35 for a short time (for example, 1 second), The buzzer 35 is sounded only for a short time.

  Further, when the monitor side microcomputer 33 determines that the monitoring target corresponding to the sensor device 2 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state when the sensor device 2 to which the all-day warning function is set exists, the monitor side microcomputer 33 detects the abnormality. And the home alarm mode is entered (items [2] and [3]). In this home alarm mode, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 outputs a light emission command signal for blinking red to the corresponding LEDs 34a to 34k, blinks the LEDs 34a to 34k in red, and sends a ringing command signal to the buzzer 35 for a long time. (E.g., for 30 seconds), the buzzer 35 is sounded for a long time. In addition, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 sounds the buzzer 35 at a louder volume than when the buzzer 35 sounds in the home mode. The monitor side microcomputer 33 shifts to the home mode when a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses in this home alarm mode or when the mode changeover switch 37 is operated within the time (item [4]). That is, in this home alarm mode, if the mode change switch 37 is operated while the buzzer 35 is sounding, the monitor side microcomputer 33 stops the sounding of the buzzer 35 and switches to the home mode. It is like that.

<Switching from home mode to alert mode>
Further, when the mode changeover switch 37 is operated in the home mode, the monitor side microcomputer 33 shifts to the home alert preparation mode (items [5] and [6]). When a state in which no operation is performed in the home warning preparation mode elapses for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds), the monitor side microcomputer 33 shifts to the home warning mode (items [7] and [12]). On the other hand, when the mode changeover switch 37 is further operated within the predetermined time in the home warning preparation mode, the monitor side microcomputer 33 shifts to the outing warning preparation mode (items [8] and [9]). When a state in which no operation is performed in this outing warning preparation mode has elapsed for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds), the monitor side microcomputer 33 shifts to the outing warning mode (items [10] and [18]). On the other hand, when the mode changeover switch 37 is further operated within the predetermined time in the outing warning preparation mode, the monitor side microcomputer 33 shifts to the home mode again (item [11]).

<Home security mode>
In the home security mode (item [12]), when the monitoring target is in the locked state, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 outputs a light emission command signal indicating that the corresponding LED 34a-34k is lit in green, and the LED 34a- 34k is lit in green. On the other hand, if the monitor-side microcomputer 33 determines that one of the monitoring targets has switched from the locked state to the unlocked state, it determines that an abnormality has been detected, and shifts to the home warning mode (item [13], [14]). In this home warning alarm mode, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 outputs a light emission command signal for causing the corresponding LEDs 34a to 34k to blink red, and causes the LEDs 34a to 34k to blink red. At the same time, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 outputs a ringing command signal to the buzzer 35 for a long time (for example, 30 seconds) to ring the buzzer 35 for a long time, as in the all-day alarm mode. The monitor-side microcomputer 33 shifts to the home warning mode when a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses in this home warning warning mode or when the mode changeover switch 37 is operated within the time (item [15]). ). That is, in this home alarm mode, if the mode changeover switch 37 is operated while the buzzer 35 is sounding, the monitor side microcomputer 33 stops the sounding of the buzzer 35 and switches to the home alert mode. It is supposed to change.

  Further, in the home security mode, the monitor side microcomputer 33 switches to the home mode when the set security code is inputted by the security code input switch 38 (item [16]), and when the mode changeover switch 37 is operated, the warning of going out is given. The mode is switched (items [17] and [18]).

<Outing warning mode>
In the outing warning mode (item [18]), when the monitoring target is in the locked state, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 outputs a light emission command signal indicating that the corresponding LEDs 34a to 34k are lit in green, and the LEDs 34a to 34k are output. 34k is lit in green. On the other hand, if the monitor-side microcomputer 33 determines that one of the monitoring targets has switched from the locked state to the unlocked state, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 determines that an abnormality has been detected and shifts to the outing warning alarm mode (item [19], [20]). In this outing warning alarm mode, the monitor side microcomputer 33 outputs a light emission command signal for blinking red to the corresponding LEDs 34a to 34k, and blinks the LEDs 34a to 34k in red. At the same time, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 outputs a ringing command signal to the buzzer 35 for a long time (for example, 30 seconds) and outputs the buzzer 35 for a long time as in the all-day alarm mode or the home warning alarm mode. Ring. The monitor-side microcomputer 33 shifts to the outing warning mode when a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses in such outing warning warning mode (item [21]). Further, when the password code is input by the password input switch 38 while the buzzer 35 is ringing, the monitor side microcomputer 33 stops the ringing of the buzzer 35 and switches to the home mode (item [22]). Note that while the buzzer 35 is ringing in the outing warning alarm mode, unlike the at-home warning alarm mode, even if the mode changeover switch 37 is operated, the outing warning mode is not switched. That is, once the buzzer 35 is sounded in the outing warning warning mode, the sounding of the buzzer 35 cannot be stopped until the predetermined time has elapsed unless the set password code is input.

Further, in the outing warning mode, the monitor side microcomputer 33 switches to the home mode when the password code is input by the password input switch 38 (item [23]).
<Registration mode>
By the way, when the registration switch 36 is operated in the home mode, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 switches to the registration mode (items [24] and [25]).

  In this registration mode, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 performs normal registration processing for registering the sensor device 2 as a normal monitoring target, and special registration processing for monitoring in a mode different from the monitoring mode of the normally registered sensor device 2. This is done selectively. Therefore, the registration procedure of the sensor device 2 and the operation mode of the monitor-side microcomputer 33 associated therewith will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown as “registration procedure <1>” in FIG. 4A, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 shifts to the registration mode when the registration switch 36 is operated in the home mode (S1 to S3). That is, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 switches to the registration mode only when the registration switch 36 is operated in the home mode.

  When shifting to the registration mode, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 first lights or blinks the LED 34a of the display unit 34 in green. Here, when the sensor device 2 has already been registered in association with the LED 34a, the monitor side microcomputer 33 lights the LED 34a in green (continuous lighting), and the sensor device 2 has been registered in association with the LED 34a. If not, the LED 34a blinks green. For this reason, the user can easily and reliably determine whether or not the sensor device 2 is registered in association with the LED 34a by the lighting mode of the LED 34a.

  In addition, the LED that blinks in green, that is, the LED to be associated can be selected. In this embodiment, when the mode switch 37 is operated for a short time (for example, 1 second), the LED to be associated is displayed. It is designed to shift. For example, when the mode changeover switch 37 is operated for a short time while the LED 34a is lit green (or blinks), the monitor side microcomputer 33 lights the next LED 34b in green (or blinks). . When the mode switch 37 is operated for a short time while the LED 34b is lit in green (or blinks), the monitor side microcomputer 33 lights the next LED 34b in green (or blinks). . That is, in accordance with the operation of the mode changeover switch 37, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 sequentially shifts the LEDs in the selected state in the order of LED 34a → LED 34b → LED 34c →... → LED 34j → LED 34k →. It has become. For this reason, for example, even when the sensor device 2 registered in association with the LED 34a does not exist, the sensor device 2 can be registered in association with the next LED 34b by operating the mode switch 37. It becomes possible. In this way, the user selects the LED to be associated by operating the mode switch 37 for a short time (S4).

  If the sensor device 2 to be registered is to be specially registered, any one of the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c is operated for a short time (for example, 1 second) after selecting the LED. (S5). When the operation is performed, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 sets the monitoring mode of the sensor device 2 registered in association with the selected LED to a special monitoring mode corresponding to the operation. That is, in the registration mode, operating any one of the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c for a short time is set as an operation for setting the special monitoring mode. As shown in FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, when the first password input switch 38a is operated, a delay alarm mode with a delay time of 1 minute is adopted as a special monitoring mode. In addition, when the second password input switch 38b is operated, a delay alarm mode with a delay time of 3 minutes is adopted as a special monitoring mode. When the third password input switch 38c is operated, the all-day warning mode is adopted as the special monitoring mode.

  Thereafter, the registration operation of the sensor device 2 to be registered is performed (S6). As described above, the registration operation of the sensor device 2 in the present embodiment is set to an operation in which the monitoring target locking / unlocking operation corresponding to the sensor device 2 is repeated a predetermined number of times.

  When the registration signal from the sensor device 2 is input, the monitor side microcomputer 33 selects the ID code included in the registration signal and the special monitoring code indicating the type of the special monitoring mode as the selected LED. Is registered in the memory 33a, and registration is completed (S7). When the registration is completed, the monitor side microcomputer 33 sounds the buzzer 35 for a short time (for example, 1 second) and changes the lighting state of the associated LED from the green blinking state to the green lighting state, The registration completion of the device 2 is notified. Thereafter, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 blinks another LED that can be registered in green, and notifies the LED that another sensor device 2 is associated with the LED and is in a registerable state.

  As a specific example of such special registration, for example, the sensor device 2 (sensor device 2G) that monitors the locking / unlocking state of the front door G is associated with the LED 34g so as to be in a delay alarm mode with a delay time of 1 minute. When registering, the registration procedure is as follows. That is, in this case, the home mode is switched to the registration mode, the LED 34g is selected by a short time operation of the mode switch 37, the first password input switch 38a is operated, and the registration operation of the sensor device 2G, that is, the entrance door G Repeat the locking and unlocking operation several times.

  When the special registration of the sensor device 2G corresponding to the entrance door G is completed in such a procedure, the locked / unlocked state of the entrance door G is displayed by the LED 34g in the home mode or the alert mode. In addition, when a change in the unlocked state of the front door G is detected by the sensor device 2G in the alert mode, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 does not sound the buzzer 35 for 1 minute from the detection, and when 1 minute has elapsed. Thus, the control for ringing the buzzer 35 for a long time is performed.

  Similarly, when the second password input switch 38b is operated during registration of the sensor device 2, the monitoring target corresponding to the sensor device 2 is monitored in a delay alarm mode with a delay time of 3 minutes. In this case, when a change to the unlocking of the monitoring target is detected by the sensor 2 device in the alert mode, the monitor side microcomputer 33 does not sound the buzzer 35 for 3 minutes from the detection, and when 3 minutes have elapsed. Thus, the control for ringing the buzzer 35 for a long time is performed. When the third password input switch 38c is operated during registration of the sensor device 2, the monitoring target corresponding to the sensor device 2 is monitored in an all-day alert mode. In this case, in the home mode as well as the warning mode, when the sensor device 2 detects a change to the unlocking of the monitoring target, the monitor side microcomputer 33 immediately controls the buzzer 35 to ring for a long time. Will be done.

  On the other hand, if the sensor device 2 to be registered is to be normally monitored and registered, the operation shown in S5 is not performed, and the registration operation of the sensor device 2 shown in S6 is performed after the selection of the LED in S4. Do. In this case, when the registration signal from the sensor device 2 is input, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 records the ID code included in the registration signal in the memory 33a in association with the selected LED.

  To give a specific example of such normal registration, for example, when the sensor device 2 (sensor device 2A) that monitors the locking / unlocking state of the window A on the first floor of the house is normally registered in association with the LED 34a, the following registration is performed. It becomes a procedure. That is, in this case, after switching from the home mode to the registration mode, the LED 34e is selected by a short time operation of the mode switch 37, and then the registration operation of the sensor device 2A, that is, the operation of repeating the locking and unlocking of the window A is performed a plurality of times.

  When the normal registration of the sensor device 2A corresponding to the window A is completed in such a procedure, the locked / unlocked state of the window A is displayed by the LED 34a in the home mode or the alert mode. Moreover, when the change to the unlocked state of the window A is detected by the sensor device 2 </ b> A in the alert mode, the monitor device 3 immediately performs control for causing the buzzer 35 to ring for a long time.

  In the present embodiment, the sensor device 2 can be newly registered only for LEDs that are not registered in association with each other. That is, when the sensor device 2 is already registered in association with the LED selected in S4, another new sensor device 2 cannot be registered in association with the LED. Yes.

  However, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 is not limited to the operation of registering the sensor device 2 that has not yet been registered in the monitor device 3 (at the time of initial registration operation), but regarding the setting of the special monitoring mode for the sensor device 2 that has already been registered. Is possible. Specifically, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 selects an already registered LED (S4), and any one of the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c is operated in that state (S5). The monitoring mode of the corresponding sensor device 2 is set to a special monitoring mode according to the operation. For this reason, it is possible to easily change from the normal monitoring mode to the special monitoring mode for the already registered sensor devices 2.

  The monitor-side microcomputer 33 switches to the home mode when the registration switch 36 is operated in such a registration mode or when no operation is performed in the registration mode for a predetermined time (here, 15 minutes) (item [26] ]).

  When the mode changeover switch 37 is operated for a long time (for example, 2 seconds or more) in the registration mode, the monitor side microcomputer 33 is switched to the password input setting mode (items [27] and [28]).

<PIN input setting mode>
In the password input setting mode, the monitor side microcomputer 33 notifies that the password can be set by a display unit or voice (not shown). Here, if the password is not recorded in the memory 33a, the monitor-side microcomputer 33, when a 4-digit password is input by the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c, stores the password in the memory 33a. To record. The 4-digit password can be arbitrarily set by the housekeeper. For example, when “ABCA” is set as the password, the housekeeper sets the first password input switch 38a → the second password input switch 38b → the third password input switch. By operating in order of 38c → first password input switch 38a, the password can be set. Further, when the password code is already recorded in the memory 33a, the monitor side microcomputer 33 notifies the input of the password code by a display unit or sound (not shown). Thereafter, when the already recorded password is input by the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c, the monitor side microcomputer 33 notifies that a new password can be set. When a new password is input, the monitor side microcomputer 33 erases the password already recorded in the memory 33a and records a new password in the memory 33a.

  In the password input setting mode, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 switches to the home mode when the registration switch 36 is operated or when a predetermined time (in this case, 5 minutes) elapses when nothing is operated (item) [29]).

  Further, the monitor-side microcomputer 33, when any one of the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c is pressed for a long time (for example, 2 seconds or more) in the password input setting mode, (Items [30] and [31]).

<Circuit PIN setting mode>
The cyclic password input setting mode is a mode in which a password code for a person who is permitted to use a person other than a householder, such as a security company that guards a house, can be set. In this cyclic password input setting mode, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 notifies that the cyclic password code can be set by a display unit or voice (not shown). Here, when the cyclic code is not yet recorded in the memory 33a, the monitor side microcomputer 33, when the four-digit cyclic code is input by the first to third code input switches 38a to 38c, the cyclic code is displayed. Is recorded in the memory 33a. When the cyclic password code has already been recorded in the memory 33a, the monitor side microcomputer 33 notifies that the cyclic password code is urged to be input by a display unit or voice (not shown). Thereafter, when the already-recorded cyclic code is input by the first to third code input switches 38a to 38c, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 notifies that a new cyclic code can be set. When a new cyclic code is input, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 erases the cyclic code already recorded in the memory 33a and records a new cyclic code in the memory 33a.

  The monitor-side microcomputer 33 switches to the home mode when the registration switch 36 is operated or when no operation is performed for a predetermined time (here, 5 minutes) in such a cyclic password input setting mode ( Item [32]).

Note that the monitor-side microcomputer 33 does not necessarily have such a cyclic password input setting mode.
<Confirmation display of registration status>
By the way, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 sets all of the registered sensor devices 2 when any one of the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c is operated for a short time (for example, one second) in the home mode. The registration state is individually displayed on the corresponding LED on the display unit 34. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the monitor side microcomputer 33 causes the LED corresponding to the normally registered sensor device 2 to blink green. On the other hand, the monitor side microcomputer 33 causes the LED corresponding to the sensor device 2 registered in the delay alarm mode to blink orange (delay 1 minute → 1 second interval, delay 3 minute → 3 second interval), and the all-day warning mode. The LED corresponding to the registered sensor device 2 is lit in orange (continuously lit). For this reason, the user can easily and reliably recognize in which aspect all the registered sensor devices 2 are registered. Note that such confirmation display is automatically terminated after a predetermined time (for example, 4 seconds) has elapsed, and returns to a normal lighting mode.

<Group setting of sensor device 2>
Now, in the monitor device 3 configured and operating as described above, a grouping process for grouping the sensor devices 2 to be registered or the already registered sensor devices 2 is possible. Specifically, when a grouping operation is performed in the registration mode, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 performs a grouping process for the sensor devices 2 based on the grouping operation. Therefore, such a grouping process will be described.

[A] Grouping at the time of new registration of the sensor device 2 If the grouping operation is performed when the sensor device 2 is newly registered in the registration mode, the monitor side microcomputer 33 responds to the grouping operation. The sensor devices 2 are classified into groups.

  Specifically, after the target LED is selected in S4 shown in FIG. 4A, any one of the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c is for a long time (for example, 2 seconds or more). When operated, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 associates the selected LED with the operated password input switches 38a to 38c. After that, when the registration operation of the sensor device 2 shown in S6 is performed, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 registers the sensor device 2 as a group of the associated password input switches 38a to 38c.

That is, in the present embodiment, long pressing operation of the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c in the registration mode corresponds to the grouping operation of the sensor devices 2.
And the monitor side microcomputer 33 performs grouping according to the 1st-3rd PIN code input switches 38a-38c selected at the time of this grouping operation. Specifically, for example, when the first password input switch 38a is pressed for a long time, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 classifies the sensor devices 2 registered by the subsequent registration operation into “group G1”. Similarly, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 classifies the sensor device 2 into “group G2” when the second password input switch 38b is operated for a long press, and when the third password input switch 38c is pressed for a long time. Classifies the sensor device 2 into “group G3”.

For this reason, when the sensor device 2 is newly registered, the user can freely group the sensor devices 2 to be registered into any of the groups G1 to G3.
2, an example in which sensor devices 2A to 2G registered in association with LEDs 34a to 34g are grouped as group G1 as indicated by broken lines, and LEDs 34h to 34K are indicated as indicated by two-dot chain lines. An example in which the sensor devices 2H to 2K registered in association with each other are grouped as a group G2. That is, here, the sensor devices 2A to 2G that detect the locked state of the windows A to E and the doorway F and the door G on the first floor of the house are grouped as a group G1, and the locked and unlocked states of the windows H to K on the second floor of the house are grouped. An example is shown in which sensor devices 2H to 2K that detect the above are grouped as a group G2.

[B] Grouping of Registered Sensor Devices 2 The grouping of the sensor devices 2 is not limited to the new registration of the sensor devices 2 shown in [a] above, and the sensor devices 2 that have already been registered are grouped. Can also be set.

  In this case, when the grouping operation is performed with the LED already registered in association with the sensor device 2 selected in the registration mode, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 selects the registered sensor device 2. The group is classified into groups corresponding to the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c that have performed the operation. For example, when the sensor device 2A is registered in association with the LED 34a, and the first password input switch 38a is operated for a long time while the LED 34a is selected in the registration mode, the sensor device 2A is classified into “group G1”. Will be.

For this reason, the user can freely perform grouping of the already registered sensor devices 2. Therefore, the convenience for grouping is further improved.
<Registering special monitoring mode by group>
Further, in the process of S4 in the registration mode, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 selects the LED corresponding to the sensor device 2 belonging to the group set by the grouping process, and in that state, the special registration operation (S5) Is performed, a group registration process for registering all the sensor devices 2 belonging to the selected group in the special monitoring mode is performed. That is, the monitor side microcomputer 33 can perform the special registration in units of groups.

  Specifically, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 configures the LED constituting the display unit 34 when any one of the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c is operated for a long time (for example, 2 seconds or more) in the registration mode. Among them, only the LEDs belonging to the groups G1 to G3 corresponding to the operated password input switches 38a to 38c are turned on. That is, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 selects all of the sensor devices 2 belonging to the selected groups G1 to G3 and causes the display unit 34 to display that effect.

  When any one of the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c is operated for a short time (for example, 1 second) in such a selected state, the monitor side microcomputer 33 causes all the sensor devices belonging to the selected group. The monitoring mode 2 is set to a special monitoring mode according to the operation. That is, when the first password input switch 38a is operated, the delay warning mode of 1 minute is adopted as the special monitoring mode, and when the second password input switch 38b is operated, the delay time is 3 minutes. An alarm mode is adopted as a special monitoring mode. Similarly, when the third password input switch 38c is operated, the all-day warning mode is adopted as the special monitoring mode.

For this reason, special registration of a plurality of sensor devices 2 becomes possible by one special registration operation, and operability is improved. In addition, mistakes in setting special registration are also suppressed.
<Group mode switching process>
By the way, when the registered sensor devices 2 are grouped, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 performs group mode switching processing for selectively switching to a registration mode, a monitoring mode, and a warning mode for each group according to a user operation. Execution is possible.

  Specifically, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 indicates that the LED constituting the display unit 34 when any of the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c is operated for a long time (for example, 2 seconds or more) in the home mode. Among them, only the LEDs belonging to the groups G1 to G3 corresponding to the operated password input switches 38a to 38c are turned on. That is, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 selects all of the sensor devices 2 belonging to the selected groups G1 to G3 and causes the display unit 34 to display that effect. In this embodiment, when a state in which no operation is performed for a predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds) after such a group selection operation has been performed, the selection state is canceled, and the display unit 34 is restored to the original state. It returns to the display state.

  On the other hand, when the mode changeover switch 37 is operated in the group selection state, the monitor side microcomputer 33 switches to the warning mode only for the sensor device 2 in the selection state. That is, in this case, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 functions as a home mode for the sensor device 2 that is not in the selected state.

  Specifically, for example, when the mode changeover switch 37 is operated in a state where the group G1 is selected, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 enters the home warning mode or the outing warning mode only for the sensor devices 2 belonging to the group G1. Switch. Therefore, in this case, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 performs the alarm operation (sounding of the buzzer 35 for a long time) in the alert mode only when the unlocking of the monitoring target monitored by the sensor device 2 belonging to the group G1 is detected. Do. On the other hand, when the monitoring-side microcomputer 33 detects the unlocking of the monitoring target monitored by the sensor device 2 that does not belong to the group G1 (the sensor devices 2 that belong to the groups G2 and G3), Only the notification operation (notification by short-time ringing of the buzzer 35) is performed, and the alarm operation is not performed.

  Similarly, when the registration switch 36 is operated in the selected state of the groups G1 to G3, the monitor side microcomputer 33 switches to the registration mode for only the sensor device 2 in the selected state. That is, as described in <Registering by Special Monitoring Mode by Group>, not only selecting a group after switching to the registration mode, but also switching only the group selected after performing group selection in advance to the registration mode. It is also possible. Therefore, by switching to the registration mode in such a group selection state, the special monitoring mode can be easily and surely registered by group.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The sensor devices 2 registered in the monitor device 3 can be grouped into a plurality of groups G1 to G3 by the grouping process of the monitor-side microcomputer 33. The monitor-side microcomputer 33 can be selectively switched to the registration mode, the monitoring mode, and the warning mode for each of the groups G1 to G3. For this reason, individual mode setting can be performed for each group as required by the user, and convenience is improved. For example, as shown as groups G1 and G2 in FIG. 2, the sensor devices 2 that detect the locking and unlocking states of the windows A to E, the front door F, and the front door G provided on the first floor are set as the same group G1. If each sensor device 2 that detects and detects the locking and unlocking states of the windows H to K on the second floor is set as another group G2, the groups G1 and G2 can be set to different modes. Specifically, only the sensor devices 2 on the first floor can be set to the alert mode, and the sensor devices 2 on the second floor can be set to the home mode. In this way, even if the second-floor windows H to K are unlocked in a state where the first-floor sensor device 2 is set to the warning mode, no alarm is issued. Therefore, the second floor windows H to K can be freely locked / unlocked and opened / closed while maintaining the security of the windows A to E, the front door F and the front door G on the first floor. Can be obtained.

  (2) When the sensor device 2 is newly registered, the user can freely group the sensor devices 2 to be registered into any of the groups G1 to G3. For this reason, grouping can be performed together in a series of operations for newly registering the sensor device 2. Moreover, in addition to the grouping of the sensor devices 2 at the time of new registration, it is possible to group the already registered sensor devices 2. For this reason, grouping of the already registered sensor devices 2 can be performed freely. Therefore, convenience in performing grouping can be further improved.

  (3) The password input switch 38 that is originally used for other functions is used as an operation unit for performing grouping and an operation unit for registering the sensor device 2 in a special monitoring mode. That is, an existing operation unit that has existed for a long time has been used as an operation unit for registering the sensor device 2 in the special registration mode. For this reason, it is not necessary to newly provide an operation unit for performing grouping or special registration, and an increase in the number of parts of the monitor device 3 can be suppressed.

  (4) A password input switch 38 is used as an operation unit for performing grouping and special registration. In general, the password input switch 38 needs to be able to input a plurality of types of passwords, and thus includes a plurality of switches (three switches 38a to 38c in the present embodiment). For this reason, by using such a password input switch 38, a large number of groups and types of special monitoring modes can be secured.

  (5) A normal monitoring mode in which when the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c are not operated at all in the registration mode of the monitor side microcomputer 33, an alarm is immediately issued when the state of the monitoring target changes in the warning mode. Thus, the sensor device 2 can be registered in the monitor device 3. On the other hand, when the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c are pressed for a predetermined time or longer in the registration mode, the sensor device 2 can be registered in the monitor device 3 in a special monitoring mode such as a delay warning mode or an all-day warning mode. Become. Therefore, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 can recognize the sensor device 2 that has performed normal registration and the sensor device 2 that has performed special registration. Therefore, in the alert mode, when the monitor side microcomputer 33 receives an input signal indicating that the state of the monitoring target has been changed from the normally registered sensor device 2, it can immediately issue an alarm to that effect. On the other hand, for example, when the delay alarm mode is set when the sensor device 2 is registered, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 receives an input signal indicating that the state of the monitoring target has changed from the specially registered sensor device 2 in the alert mode. When this is done, a warning to that effect can be issued after a predetermined time has elapsed. For example, when the all-day alert mode is set when the sensor device 2 is registered, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 receives an input signal indicating that the state of the monitoring target has changed in the home mode as well as the alert mode. Can be issued immediately. That is, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 can monitor the monitoring target in a different manner based on the input signal input from one type of sensor device 2. Therefore, when such an example is adopted, the normally registered sensor device 2 can be used as a window sensor device, and the specially registered sensor device 2 can be used as a door sensor device or an all-day warning sensor device. It is possible to share each sensor device. Therefore, one type of sensor device 2 can be applied to various uses without causing a decrease in security level, and the versatility of the sensor device 2 can be enhanced. Therefore, the state monitoring system 1 can further improve convenience while suppressing a decrease in the security level.

  In addition, since the special registration covers all of the sensor devices 2 belonging to the selected group, it is not necessary to individually register each sensor device 2 individually, and the work for the special registration can be easily and reliably performed. It can be carried out.

  (6) On the display unit 34, the sensor device 2 registered in the normal monitoring mode and the sensor device 2 registered in the special monitoring mode are individually displayed in different modes. Therefore, the user can easily and reliably recognize which sensor device 2 is registered in the normal monitoring mode and which sensor device 2 is registered in the special monitoring mode by visually recognizing the display unit 34. . Moreover, since the registration state is individually displayed for each sensor device 2 on the display unit 34, the user can more reliably recognize the registration state of each sensor device 2.

  (7) When the special registration operation is performed in a state where the grouped sensor devices 2 are selected, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 performs special monitoring not only on the sensor device 2 but also on all the sensor devices 2 belonging to the group. Register in a manner. For this reason, special registration of a plurality of sensor devices 2 becomes possible by one special registration operation, and higher operability can be obtained. In addition, it is possible to suppress errors in setting special registrations due to a decrease in the number of special registration operations.

  (8) At the time of the special registration process by the monitor side microcomputer 33, one of the plural types of special monitoring modes is selected according to the operation mode of the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c. Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the first password input switch 38a is operated, the 1-minute delay alarm mode is selected, and when the second password input switch 38b is operated, the 3-minute delay alarm mode is selected. When the third password input switch 38c is operated, the all-day warning mode is selected. For this reason, for example, the sensor device 2E that monitors the locking / unlocking state of the front door E is registered as a special monitoring target to be monitored in a delayed alarm mode, and the sensor device 2 that monitors the locking / unlocking state of the locking device that needs to be alerted all day is If it is registered as a special monitoring target to be monitored in a warning mode, it is possible to monitor the state of the locking devices of all the buildings using one type of sensor device 2.

In addition, you may change embodiment of this invention as follows.
In the embodiment, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 can perform normal registration and special registration in the same registration mode. However, the monitor side microcomputer 33 may have a registration mode in which only normal registration is possible and a registration mode in which only special registration is possible. For example, as shown in FIG. 4B as “registration procedure <2>”, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 shifts to the “registration mode” according to the procedure of S1 to S3, and then shows S11 and S12 in FIG. As described above, when the registration switch 36 is pressed for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) or longer, the mode may be shifted to the “special registration mode”. In this way, it is possible to reliably prevent erroneous registration such as special registration of a place that should normally be registered. Note that the special registration mode is not limited to long pressing of the registration switch 36, but may be switched by long pressing of other switches such as the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c.

  In the embodiment, grouping can be performed when the sensor device 2 is newly registered in the monitor device 3, and the already registered sensor devices 2 can be grouped. Yes. However, only one of these groupings may be possible.

  The special setting operation means is not limited to the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c, and other existing operation units such as the mode change switch 37 may be used. In this case, for example, if the special monitoring mode is determined according to the number of operations of the mode changeover switch 37 in the registration mode, one of a plurality of types of special monitoring modes is selected as in the above embodiment. It is possible to achieve the same convenience as the above embodiment.

The special setting operation means is not limited to an existing operation unit used for other functions, and may be configured by a dedicated operation unit newly provided on the design surface of the monitor device 3, for example.
In the embodiment, the registered sensor devices 2 can be classified into three types of groups by operating the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c. However, the group that can be classified is not limited to three types, and may be two types or four or more types, for example. Note that when four or more types of grouping are possible using the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c, a combination operation of the password input switches 38a to 38c is required. Here, the “combination operation” indicates, for example, simultaneous operation of the first password input switch 38a and the second password input switch 38b for a long time (for example, 2 seconds).

  In the embodiment, special registration can be performed in units of groups. However, such special registration in units of groups may be disabled, and changes may be made so that only switching of various modes can be performed in units of groups. Also, the special registration itself may be disabled.

  When the registered sensor devices 2 are divided into a plurality of groups, the mode status may be displayed for each group. For example, the first to third password input switches 38a to 38c are each provided with a display unit such as an LED. And the monitor side microcomputer 33 displays this display part in a different display mode in each of the home mode, the home security mode, the outing warning mode, and the registration mode. Specifically, the monitor-side microcomputer 33 displays the display unit in “green” in the home mode, “orange” in the home security mode, “red” in the outing warning mode, and “blue” in the registration mode. Let In this way, the user can easily and reliably recognize which group is set in which mode, and can obtain even higher convenience.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the above embodiment, when the first password input switch 38a is operated in the registration mode, the delay alarm mode is 1 minute when the first password input switch 38a is operated, and when the second password input switch 38b is operated, the delay time is set. When the 3-minute delay warning mode and the third password input switch 38c are operated, the all-day warning mode is set. In other words, in the embodiment, two types of delay alarm modes and all-day warning modes can be set. However, for example, one type of delay warning mode and all-day warning mode may be set, or the setting of the all-day warning mode may be omitted. Specifically, for example, even when the second password input switch 38b is operated, a delay alarm mode of 1 minute delay time is set so that one type of delay alarm mode and all-day alarm mode can be set. Good. Also, for example, when the third password input switch 38c is operated, a delay alarm mode with a delay time of 30 seconds is set so that three types of delay alarm modes can be set, and the all-day warning mode cannot be set. May be. Furthermore, another special monitoring mode (for example, “delayed alarm + all-day warning”) may be set by operating two or three password input switches 38a to 38c, for example.

  The special monitoring mode for the sensor device 2 may be set only for the newly registered sensor device 2. The setting may be possible only for the already registered sensor device 2.

  In the embodiment, the delay time in the delay alarm mode is a preset time. However, such a delay time may be freely settable by the user.

  -In the said embodiment, the monitor side microcomputer 33 has two types of alert modes, a home alert mode and an outing alert mode. However, the monitor side microcomputer 33 may have only the outing warning mode as the warning mode, or may have another warning mode.

  The “status monitoring” is not limited to monitoring the locking / unlocking status of the locking devices such as the windows A to E, H to K, the front door F, and the entrance door G. For example, it may be a gas leak monitor that monitors the presence or absence of a gas leak or a fire monitor that monitors the presence or absence of a fire. That is, the “state monitoring” may indicate all monitoring of the presence or absence of abnormality in the building.
