Description

  The present invention relates to a ship communication / warning system for communication between crew members in a ship.

Usually, in a ship, communication, alarms, etc. are performed by light emission / character display, buzzer sound, voice and the like. For example, a push button is provided to call an engineer, and when the push button is pressed, a buzzer provided in the engineer's residence passage is sounded. The engine room is called by a call switch, an electronic horn, and an indicator lamp. The engine room is equipped with several places, and the cleaner room and the engine room machine room are equipped with an electronic horn and an indicator lamp. In addition, an extended alarm panel that displays abnormalities in the engine room is equipped in each magazine room. Further, when an abnormality occurs in the engine room, the alarm occurrence is notified by a display / buzzer sound on the extension alarm panel of the duty officer (see, for example, Patent Document 1). And in a ship, the area etc. which each crew member can enter may be decided. In addition, a specially shaped key is used as a countermeasure against pirates, for example.
JP 2000-326891 A

  However, each engineer's room is equipped with an extended alarm panel, but if there is no duty engineer in the room, even if the alarm sounds, I do not know. In addition, there is a possibility of duplication with a mechanical key.

  Accordingly, the present invention aims to provide a marine communication / warning system that solves the above-described problems, simplifies the communication of crewmembers, alert notifications, etc., and can further improve security. And

  The marine communication / alarm system according to the present invention includes an exchange for controlling a signal transmission path between connected devices, and performs alarm teaching between portable terminals in the marine vessel.

  Further, the marine communication / warning system according to the present invention includes a conversion data storage means for storing conversion data for converting operation data for operating a device into instruction data corresponding to the device, and a portable terminal. When a signal including operation data is transmitted directly or via an exchange, the operation data included in the signal is converted into instruction data based on the conversion data stored in the storage means, and a signal including the instruction data is transmitted. A device control apparatus comprising: a data conversion unit that performs control and a device control unit that transmits and controls an instruction signal to a device based on instruction data included in the signal transmitted from the data conversion unit. Built-in or connected.

  Further, the marine communication / warning system according to the present invention is transmitted from the portable terminal directly or via an exchange, with collation data storage means for storing collation data for collating unique data that the portable terminal individually has. When the unique data included in the signal is collated with the collation data, and when the collation is matched, an authentication processing unit that transmits a signal including the data for authentication and a signal including the data for authentication are transmitted from the authentication processing unit, A device authentication apparatus provided with device authentication control means for operating the device or unlocking the door is further built in or connected to the exchange.

  Further, the marine communication / warning system according to the present invention uses a PHS and / or a PDA as a portable terminal.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to teach an alarm or the like by a cordless telephone without using an alarm panel or the like provided only at a predetermined position, for example, while a sailor is walking. Individual calls can also be made. And it can contribute to the reduction of the wiring in a ship's body.

  Further, according to the present invention, when an alarm or the like is given, the exchange also teaches the alarm or the like to a predetermined cordless telephone, so that the alarm notification can be made more reliable.

  In addition, according to the present invention, the device can be controlled remotely by the device control device using a cordless telephone.

  In addition, according to the present invention, since the device authentication apparatus performs the authentication process based on the unique data inherent in each cordless telephone, the device can be used by a qualified person having authority to operate the device. Can do. In particular, since the door can be opened and closed electronically using a cordless telephone, it is possible to take crime prevention measures against pirates and the like.

  Further, according to the present invention, since a general-purpose PHS is used, communication within a ship can be performed by providing a plurality of small base stations without providing a large-scale facility. Further, as described above, it can be used not only as a call but also as a means for performing remote operation, authentication, and the like.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a marine communication / warning system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The digital cordless telephones 1-1 to 1-n (representatively referred to as the digital cordless telephone 1 unless otherwise distinguished) are communication / communication equipment that each occupant has individually. Each of the digital cordless telephones 1-1 to 1-n has unique data such as a number. Here, in the present embodiment, since the equipment of the system can be easily performed, for example, a PHS (Personal Handyphone System) is used as the digital cordless telephone 1.

  Further, base stations 10-1 to 10-m that perform wireless communication (representatively referred to as the base station 10 unless otherwise distinguished) communicate with the digital cordless telephone 1 of signals including various data such as voice. It is a wireless communication means for performing wireless communication. Each base station 10-1 to 10 -m is connected to the digital exchange 20. The digital switch 20 (hereinafter referred to as switch 20) includes a signal receiving unit 21, a signal processing unit 22, and a storage unit 23, and transmits a signal for performing communication (signal transmission / reception) between connected devices. Control the establishment and release of the route. The signal receiving unit 21 receives a signal transmitted from the digital cordless telephone 1 and transmits it to the signal processing unit 22. The storage unit 23 stores command data in which the teaching command data is associated with the corresponding teaching unit. Further, the signal processing means 22 is a cordless transmitter that transmits a teaching signal to teaching command data included in a signal transmitted from the cordless telephone 1 via the base station 10 based on the command data stored in the storage means 22. The telephone 1 is determined. Then, a teaching signal is transmitted to the determined cordless telephone 1, and alarm teaching is performed by contact, ringing, character display, vibration, and the like.

  In addition, the digital exchange 20 is connected at least to an inboard command device 30, a satellite communication device 40 for performing communication using the maritime satellite and the like on the ground, and a telephone 50 connected by wire. Has been. Speakers (sound generators) 31-1 to 31-1 are connected to the inboard command device 30 and are used when performing a paging function such as simultaneous broadcasting in the ship.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, each crew member has the cordless telephone 1, and signals including teaching command data are transmitted from the cordless telephone 1 to the other cordless telephones 1 through the base station 10 and the exchange 20. Since the information is transmitted and the warning teaching is performed, for example, the warning or the like can be taught even when the sailor is walking. Further, individual calls and the like can be performed by the cordless telephone 1. Since these can be performed by wireless communication, it is possible to contribute to the reduction of wiring in the hull. For example, in the case of VLCC (very large tanker), the length of the electric wire can be reduced to 1/3 or less of the conventional one. For example, since the PHS having explosion-proof equipment is used as the cordless telephone 1, for example, it can be prepared for explosion-proof, and since the output power is small, the influence on the navigation instrument and the like is extremely small.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
