<Security sensor>
Next, the security sensor 6 will be described.
The security sensor 6 functions as detection means of the present invention.
The security sensor 6 installed in the monitoring target 1 includes a sensor that detects the presence of a person by detecting the opening of an opening / closing body such as an entrance door, a window, or a gate, and a person based on a physical quantity input from a predetermined monitoring direction. There is a sensor that detects the presence of. The former is, for example, a sensor that detects the opening of a door by detecting a change in a magnetic field, or a sensor that detects the opening of a door by turning on and off the tamper switch, and the latter is, for example, detecting the presence of a person by fluctuations in heat rays. Well-known sensors such as sensors that detect the presence of a person using ultrasonic waves or high frequencies, sensors that detect the presence of a person from an input image, and sensors that detect the presence of a person by blocking incident light from a light projecting unit. It is a detection means.
When the security sensor 6 operates constantly and detects the opening of the opening / closing body or the presence of a person, the security sensor 6 sends a detection signal including its own address code to the security device 2.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an installation example of the security sensor 6 on the monitoring target 1.
The security sensor 6 is fixedly installed in a place where there is a risk of intrusion so that the monitoring target 1 can be appropriately monitored based on a pre-planned security plan. Here, the place where there is a risk of intrusion is, for example, the garden 11 and the gate 12 when the building 10 of the monitoring target 1 is outside, the opening of the entrance door 13 and the window 14 in the building 10 of the monitoring target 1, and the monitoring target. It is a flow line portion such as a passage in a building 10 or a living room.
That is, the surveillance object 1 is provided with a security sensor 6A installed outdoors and a security sensor 6B installed indoors as the security sensor 6.

<Camera unit>
Next, the camera unit 7 will be described.
The camera unit 7 functions as an imaging unit of the present invention.
The camera unit 7 is provided corresponding to the security sensor 6A installed outdoors, and the installation location and the installation angle are set and arranged so that the imaging area includes the detection area of the corresponding security sensor 6A. The camera unit 7 always operates, images an imaging area at predetermined intervals, and sends the captured image and its own address code to the security device 2.

<Security device>
Next, the security device 2 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the security device 2 includes a control unit 20, a mode setting unit 21 connected thereto, a sensor I / F 22, a camera I / F 23, a communication unit 24, a display unit 25, A ring unit 26 and a storage unit 27 are roughly configured.
The control unit 20 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and the like, and controls each unit to operate as the security device 2. The control unit 20 includes a monitoring unit 28 and an output control unit 29.

The mode setting unit 21 is a switch that sets a security mode of the security device 2. The security mode set by the mode setting unit 21 is stored in the storage unit 27. Here, the security mode set by the mode setting unit 21 includes a release mode, a home security mode that is the second security mode, and an outing security mode that is the first security mode.

Here, the release mode is a state in which the monitoring target 1 is manned and no notification / notification is performed even if the security sensor 6 detects it. When the release mode is set, all security sensors 6 are set to no monitoring.
The home security mode is when the monitoring target 1 is manned and detected by a specific security sensor 6 installed on the outer periphery of the building 10 in order to detect an intrusion from outside such as the window 14, the entrance door 13, or the outside. If the other security sensor 6 detects that an abnormality has occurred, it is not determined to be abnormal and no notification or notification is made. When the home security mode is set, only a specific security sensor 6 set in advance is set for monitoring.
The outing security mode is a state in which the monitoring target 1 is unattended, and the occurrence of an abnormality is notified to the detection of the security sensor 6 and a notification is made. When this outing security mode is set, all the security sensors 6 are set to the monitoring state.

For example, when the monitoring target 1 is unmanned, the mode setting unit 21 sets the user to the outing security mode. If no monitoring is required, set the release mode.
When the outing security mode is set, the security sensor 6 that monitors the user's outing route may start monitoring after a predetermined delay time so that the user who goes out is not detected as abnormal. preferable.

The sensor I / F 22 is an I / F (interface) to which the security sensor 6 is connected in a wired or wireless manner, and functions as a receiving unit that receives a detection signal from the security sensor 6.
The sensor I / F 22 stores the detection state for each security sensor 6 in the storage unit 27 based on the detection signal received from the security sensor 6.
In this example, although not particularly shown, the monitoring target 1 is provided with a plurality of sensors such as a fire detection sensor and an emergency button in addition to the security sensor 6 and is connected to the sensor I / F 22. .

The camera I / F 23 is an I / F to which the camera unit 7 is connected, and functions as a receiving unit that receives an image captured by the camera unit 7.
The camera I / F 23 buffers the captured image received from the camera unit 7 in the storage unit 27 by a predetermined number of frames. The image buffered in the storage unit 27 holds the latest image by a predetermined number of frames by overwriting the oldest image with the newly received image. For example, when images are received at intervals of 1 second and 10 frames are held, images for the past 10 seconds are held.

The communication unit 24 is connected to the monitoring center 3 via a communication network 5 such as a public line network or the Internet network.
The display unit 25 includes a liquid crystal monitor and LEDs, and displays a set security mode, a detection state of the security sensor 6, an installation location of the security sensor 6, and the like.
The ringing unit 26 includes a speaker and a buzzer, and outputs a guidance according to a user's operation or an alarm when an abnormality occurs.

The storage unit 27 includes a ROM / RAM and the like, and includes a processing program, a security device management number, a security sensor set for monitoring, an abnormality history, an image taken by the camera unit, drawing information to be monitored, an alarm sound, and an alarm message. Voice data such as the current security mode is stored.
The storage unit 27 stores a sensor table 27A and a ringing output table 27B as tables for managing the state of the security sensor 6.

The sensor table 27A is a table showing the state of each security sensor 6.
FIG. 3 shows the sensor table 27A.
The sensor table 27A includes an address code of each security sensor 6 connected to the sensor I / F 22, an installation location of the security sensor 6, information indicating whether the installation location is indoor or outdoor (indoor / outdoor), and the corresponding camera unit 7 , Status indicating whether the security sensor 6 is detecting (detected / not detected), monitoring setting status of the security sensor 6 (monitoring / no monitoring), presence of abnormality indicating whether an abnormality has occurred Are stored in association with each other (abnormal / normal).

The home monitoring information is recorded in the sensor table 27A. This home monitoring information is information indicating whether or not the security sensor 6 is monitored in the home security mode. In other words, the security sensor 6 for the home monitoring information “monitoring” is a sensor that is set to monitor in the home security mode, and the security sensor 6 for the home monitoring information “no monitoring” is set to no monitoring in the home security mode. It is. The security sensor for the home monitoring information “monitoring” is a security sensor 6 installed to detect an intrusion from the outside to the building 10 of the monitoring target 1 such as the window 14, the entrance door 13, or the outside.

In this example, when the outing security mode is set, the monitoring settings of all the security sensors 6 are set to the “monitoring” state. In the home security mode, only the security sensors 6 having the home monitoring information “monitoring” are set to the “monitoring” state, and the release mode is set. In, the monitoring settings of all the security sensors 6 are in a “no monitoring” state.

The ringing output table 27B is a table indicating whether or not the ringing output is performed by the output control unit 29.
In the ringing output table 27B, the security mode, the security sensor 6 that detects an abnormality, and the output presence / absence of the ringing unit 26 are stored in association with each other.

The monitoring unit 28 performs processing when a detection signal is received from the security sensor 6.
When the sensor I / F 22 receives the detection signal from the security sensor 6, the monitoring unit 28 appropriately updates the sensor table 27 </ b> A based on the received signal and determines whether there is an abnormality. That is, when the sensor I / F 22 receives a detection signal from the security sensor 6, the detection / non-detection state of the sensor table 27A becomes "detection", and if the corresponding security sensor 6 is in the "monitoring" state, The abnormal state is “abnormal”.
When the monitoring unit 28 determines that an abnormality has occurred, the storage unit 27 stores the abnormality content, the location where the abnormality has occurred, the time, and the like as an abnormality history.

When the monitoring unit 28 determines that an abnormality has occurred, the output control unit 29 transmits an abnormality signal to the monitoring center 4 via the communication unit 24, turns on an LED indicating the abnormality of the display unit 25, and displays the content of the abnormality on the liquid crystal monitor. And output the location where the error occurred. The abnormal signal transmitted to the monitoring center 4 includes the management number of the security device 2, information on the detected security sensor 6, the content of the abnormality, and the location where the abnormality has occurred.

When the monitoring unit 28 detects the occurrence of an abnormality, the output control unit 29 outputs an alarm sound or an alarm message from the ringing unit 26 according to the current security mode and the security sensor 6 that detects the abnormality based on the ringing output table 27B. Is output. At this time, the sound data output from the ringing unit 26 is read from the storage unit 27 according to the current security mode and the security sensor 6 that has detected the abnormality. For example, an alarm sound such as a siren sound, an abnormal content, a detected security sensor, a voice message indicating a detection location, and the like.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a ringing output table.
The output control unit 29 refers to the storage unit 27 to determine whether or not the security sensor 6 that has detected an abnormality is the security sensor 6A installed outdoors, and is installed indoors according to the current security mode. The presence / absence of ringing output is made different between the security sensor 6B and the security sensor 6A installed outdoors.
Further, when receiving a ring signal from the monitoring center 4 via the communication unit 24, the output control unit 29 outputs an alarm sound or a warning message from the ring unit 26.

In addition, the output control part 29 is good also as a structure which outputs the said audio | voice data from a ringing part, when a ringing signal contains audio | voice data.

<Monitoring center>
The monitoring center 3 includes a center device 4 and a controller constantly monitors the monitoring target 1.
The center device 4 is generally configured by a communication unit 41, a display unit 42, an operation unit 43, a storage unit 44, and a control unit 40 that controls them.
The communication unit 41 is connected to the security device 2 via a communication network 5 such as a public line network or the Internet network.
The display unit 42 is configured by a liquid crystal monitor or a CRT, and displays information on the monitoring target 1 to be dealt with based on the abnormality signal received from the security device 2 and an image received from the security device 2.
The operation unit 43 includes a keyboard and a pointing device, and is operated by a controller to input predetermined commands and information.
The storage unit 44 is configured by a storage medium such as a ROM, a RAM, an optical disk, or a hard disk, and information on the monitoring device 1 or the security device 2 installed on the monitoring target 1 or the user, that is, the name of the monitoring target 1 and the monitoring target 1 address, monitoring target 1 telephone number, security device 2 management number, user name, user address, user telephone number, past abnormality history, image, and the like are stored.

The control unit 40 includes a CPU and the like, and controls each unit to operate as the center device 4. Moreover, the control part 40 will transmit a ringing signal to the security device 2 used as the object, if the operation part 43 is input operation of a ringing signal.
In addition, the control part 40 is good also as a structure which transmits the audio | voice data selected in the operation part 43 to the security apparatus 2 as a ringing signal, when the operation part 43 input operation is made. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which provides audio | voice input means, such as a microphone which is not shown in figure, and transmits the audio | voice which a controller inputs to the security apparatus 2 as a ringing signal.

<Description of operation>
Hereinafter, operation | movement of the security apparatus 2 by this embodiment is demonstrated in detail with reference to the flowchart shown to FIGS.
Usually, the security device 2 is in a waiting state for a detection signal from the security sensor 6 and a ringing signal from the monitoring center 3.

First, the operation when receiving a detection signal will be described.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the detection signal processing program of the security device 2.
When the security device 2 receives the detection signal from the security sensor 6, the security device 2 determines whether or not the security sensor 6 that has transmitted the detection signal based on the address code and the sensor table included in the detection signal is being monitored (ST1). .

If the security sensor 6 that has transmitted the detection signal is “no monitoring” (ST1-No), the process is terminated.
On the other hand, if the security sensor 6 that has transmitted the detection signal is “monitoring”, the security device 2 determines that an abnormality has occurred and outputs that an abnormality has occurred on the display unit 25 (ST2).

Next, the security device 2 determines whether or not the security sensor 6 that has transmitted the detection signal based on the sensor table 27A is a security sensor 6A installed outdoors (ST3). If the security sensor 6A is not installed outdoors (ST3-No), an abnormal signal is transmitted to the monitoring center 3 (ST4), and an alarm sound or an alarm message is output from the ringing unit 26 (ST5).
On the other hand, if the security sensor 6 that transmitted the detection signal is the sensor 6A installed outdoors (ST3-Yes), the abnormal signal and the image of the camera unit 7 corresponding to the security sensor 6A are transmitted to the monitoring center 3. (ST6). At this time, in addition to the image of the corresponding camera unit 7, an image of another camera unit 7 or an image of all the camera units 7 installed on the monitoring target may be transmitted.

Next, the security device 2 determines whether or not the current security mode is the home security mode (ST7). Since the security sensor 6 is currently being monitored as determined in ST1, the currently set security mode is the outing security mode or the home security mode. Here, if the security mode is not the home security mode (ST7-No), that is, if the security mode is the outing security mode, the process proceeds to ST5, and an alarm sound or an alarm message is output from the ringing unit 26.
On the other hand, if the security mode is the home security mode (ST7-Yes), the process is terminated without performing the ringing output from the ringing unit 26.

As a result, when the monitoring target 1 is unattended, that is, in the outing guard mode, an alarm is output from the ringing unit 26 when the crime prevention sensor 6A installed outdoors detects it, so It can deter intrusion and stop damage.
In addition, when the monitoring target 1 is manned, that is, in the home security mode, when the crime prevention sensor 6A installed outdoors detects, the sounding unit 26 is not output, which obstructs the user's sleep and work. It is possible to prevent the user from being burdened by misinformation.
Further, by sending an image including a detection area of the security sensor 6A installed outdoors to the monitoring center 3, the control person or coordinator of the monitoring center 3 entrusts the response to the user himself / herself at the detection location. No extra work is required for inspection.

Next, the operation when receiving a ringing signal will be described.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the sound signal processing program of the security device.
When receiving a ring signal from the monitoring center 3, the security device 2 determines whether or not the ring unit 26 outputs a ring (ST20).

Since the sounding unit 26 is configured to output a sound regardless of whether the security sensor 6 installed indoors or outdoors in the outing security mode, the sounding unit 26 sounds only when the security mode is the home security mode. Sounds when a signal is received.
That is, in ST20, processing for determining whether or not the security mode is the home security mode is performed, and the process proceeds to ST21 only when the home security mode is set. If it is not the home security mode, the process is terminated without outputting a ringing sound.

The ringing unit 26 is configured to output a ringing sound when an abnormality is determined based on the detection signal of the security sensor 6B installed indoors, so that the detection signal of the security sensor 6A installed outdoors is used. The ringing may be output when the ringing signal is received only when it is determined that an abnormality has occurred.
In this case, in ST20, it is determined whether or not the security sensor 6A installed outdoors is “abnormal” in the sensor table 27A, and the process proceeds to ST21 only when “abnormal”. If the outdoor security sensor 6A is not “abnormal”, the process is terminated without sounding output.

The ringing unit 26 receives the ringing signal only when the home security mode is set as the security mode and the occurrence of an abnormality is determined based on the detection signal of the security sensor 6A installed outdoors. It is also possible to make a ringing output.
In this case, in ST20, a process for determining whether or not the security mode is a home security mode and a process for determining whether or not the security sensor 6A installed outdoors in the sensor table 27A is “abnormal” The process proceeds to ST21 only when the home security mode is set and the outdoor security sensor 6A is “abnormal”. If the home security mode is not set, or if the security sensor 6A installed outdoors is not “abnormal”, the process is terminated without outputting a sound.

Still further, when a ringing signal is received from the monitoring center 3, the ringing unit 26 may always output the ringing signal.
In this case, the process of ST20 is omitted, and when a ringing signal is received, the process proceeds to ST21.

When it is determined in ST20 that the sound is output from the sounding unit 26, an alarm sound or a warning message is output from the sounding unit 26 (ST21). At this time, the sound data output from the ringing unit 26 is read from the storage unit 27 according to the content of the ringing signal, the security sensor 6 that is currently abnormal, and the current security mode. For example, an alarm sound such as a siren sound, an abnormal content, a detected security sensor, and a voice message indicating a detection location.
When the ringing signal includes audio data, the audio data is output from the ringing unit 26.

Thereby, when the abnormality of the monitoring object 1 is confirmed in the monitoring center 3 based on the image including the detection area of the security sensor 6A installed outdoors, the sounding unit 26 of the security device 2 can be operated. , It is possible to suppress anomaly notification to the user and an invasion act of a bandit trying to invade from the outdoors.

Next, the overall operation of the security system according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a schematic operation of the security system.
The user sets the home security mode in the mode setting unit 21 when guarding the outer peripheral portion of the building 10 of the monitoring target 1 (ST50). Here, when a detection signal is received from the security sensor 6A installed outdoors (ST51), the security device 2 determines that an abnormality has occurred (ST52), and the abnormal signal and the image of the camera unit 7 corresponding to the security sensor 6A are detected. Is transmitted to the monitoring center 3 (ST53).

  When the center device 4 of the monitoring center 3 receives the abnormal signal and the image from the security device 2 (ST54), it determines the security device 2 in which the abnormality has occurred from the management number included in the received abnormal signal, and the security device 2 The monitoring target 1, the detected security sensor 6A, the content of the abnormality and the location of the occurrence, and the image received from the security device 2 are displayed on the display unit 42 (ST55).

The controller looks at this display and confirms whether the abnormality that has occurred in the monitoring target 1 is due to a false alarm or whether there is a possibility that an abnormal situation has actually occurred. If it is not possible to confirm that it is a false report and there is a possibility that an abnormal situation has occurred, a ringing signal is input from the operation unit 43 (ST56).
When the ringing signal is input, the center device 4 transmits the ringing signal to the security device 2 (ST57). Further, the controller determines an appropriate counselor and gives an instruction for coping with the monitoring target 1 (ST58).

  When receiving a ringing signal from the monitoring center 3 (ST59), the security device 2 outputs a warning sound or a warning message from the ringing unit 26 (ST60).

As described above, in this example, since the security sensor 6A installed outdoors during home security mode detects an abnormality (outputs a detection signal), it is configured not to sound and output, so that the sensor 6A installed outdoors is detected. Even if a false report is output based on the above, it is possible to prevent the user from going to bed and work without impeding the user's sleep and work, and to prevent a burden on the user.
Further, when it is confirmed by the monitoring center 3 that 6A detection of a sensor installed outdoors is not a false alarm, the security device 2 outputs a ringing sound by a ringing signal from the monitoring center 3, thereby reducing security. Without making it happen, it is possible to suppress anomaly notification to the user and an invasion act of a bandit trying to invade from the outdoors.
Further, during the outing security mode in which the monitoring target 1 is unattended, an intruding action of a bandit trying to invade from the outside by outputting an alarm from the ringing unit 26 when the security sensor 6A installed outdoors detects an abnormality. Can stop the damage.

In addition, in this Embodiment mentioned above, in home security mode, when the crime prevention sensor 6A installed outdoors detected the abnormality, the example which the ringing part 26 did not ring and output was demonstrated, However, It is limited to this aspect It is not a thing.
That is, not only in the home security mode but also when the outing security mode is set, when the security sensor 6A installed outdoors detects an abnormality, the ringing unit 26 may not be output.
In this case, when the image received from the security device 2 is confirmed by the monitoring center 3 and it is confirmed that the detection of the sensor 6A installed outdoors is not a false alarm, the security signal is sent by the ringing signal from the monitoring center 3. Device 2 rings and outputs

Further, in the present embodiment described above, in the home security mode, the example in which the ringing unit 26 does not output even when the security sensor 6A installed outdoors detects an abnormality has been described. However, the ringing output is not performed. It is not limited.
That is, the sound pressure may be reduced to a level that does not hinder the user's sleep.
In this case, when the security sensor 6A installed outdoors in the home security mode detects an abnormality (outputs a detection signal), the output control unit 29 reduces the output sound pressure level to a predetermined sound pressure level, An alarm sound and an alarm message are output from the sounding unit 26.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The description of the configuration common to the first embodiment described above is omitted.
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a ringing output table of the second embodiment.
In the present embodiment, the output control unit 29 refers to the storage unit 27 to determine whether or not the security sensor 6 that has detected an abnormality is the security sensor 6A installed outdoors, and according to the current security mode. Thus, the ringing output time of the ringing unit 26 is made different between the security sensor 6B installed indoors and the security sensor 6A installed outdoor.

The output control unit 29 is configured such that when any one of the security sensors 6 detects an abnormality in the outing security mode, when the security sensor 6B installed indoors in the home security mode detects an abnormality, and via the communication unit 24 When a ringing signal is received from the monitoring center 3, an alarm sound or a warning message is output from the ringing unit for at least a predetermined time T1 (for example, 5 seconds).

On the other hand, when the security sensor 6A installed outdoors in the home security mode detects an abnormality, an alarm sound or warning message is sent from the ringing unit for a predetermined time T2 (for example, 0.5 seconds) which is shorter than the predetermined time T1. Output.

In addition, the output control part 29 is good also as a structure which outputs the said audio | voice data from a ringing part, when a ringing signal contains audio | voice data.
Further, when a ringing signal is received, it is determined whether or not the ringing unit 26 outputs a ringing as shown in ST20 of FIG. 6, and when it is determined that the ringing is output, the ringing output is performed for a predetermined time T1 or more. It is good also as composition to do. In this case, when it is determined that the ringing is not output, the ringing is output for a predetermined time T2.

As described above, in this example, when the security sensor 6A installed outdoors during the home security mode detects an abnormality, the alarm is output only for a very short time, so that an erroneous report is generated based on the detection of the sensor 6A installed outdoors. Even in the case of output, it is possible to prevent the user from going to bed and work without impeding the burden on the user.
Further, when it is confirmed by the monitoring center 3 that the detection of the sensor 6A installed outdoors is not a false alarm, the security device 2 outputs a ringing sound for a predetermined time T1 or more by a ringing signal from the monitoring center 3. Thus, it is possible to suppress anomaly notification to the user and an intruding action of a bandit trying to invade from outside without degrading security.
Furthermore, during the outing security mode in which the monitoring target 1 is unattended, when the crime prevention sensor 6A installed outdoors detects an abnormality (outputs a detection signal), an alarm is output from the ringing unit 26 so as to enter the outdoors. It is possible to stop the damage by deterring the invasion of the bandits.

It should be noted that, in the outing security mode, even if the security sensor 6 set indoors or outdoors, it is configured to sound and output for a predetermined time T1 or longer, so only when the security mode is the home security mode. The ringing may be output when the ringing signal is received.
In this case, the ringing output table shown in FIG. 8 is configured such that no ringing is output even if a ringing signal is received in the outing guard mode.

Moreover, although the present Example mentioned above demonstrated the example which shortens the output time of the ringing part 26 when the crime prevention sensor 6A installed outdoors in the home security mode detected abnormality, during this home security mode The output sound pressure of the sounding unit 26 when the security sensor 6A installed outdoors detects an abnormality is preferably lowered to a volume that does not hinder the user's sleep.
That is, when the security sensor 6A installed outdoors in the home security mode detects an abnormality, the output control unit 29 reduces the output sound pressure level to a predetermined sound pressure level and rings for a predetermined time T2. A warning sound and a warning message are output from the unit 26.
