Description

  The present invention relates to a transmission device used for remotely acquiring management information of a management object, a management object having a communication terminal and a transmission unit, a contract processing terminal constituting the system, a communication system including them, and It relates to the program to be controlled.

  In recent years, with the miniaturization of communication terminals (including communication means consisting of circuits that implement communication functions, etc.), various things have been equipped with communication terminals (communication means).・ Theft search service has been provided.

  Therefore, in case of misplacement of a bag or laptop computer containing important information such as personal information or when valuable items are stolen, a lot of belongings are equipped with communication terminals so that they can be searched when lost or stolen. It is desirable to be able to find things.

  However, many possessions are equipped with communication terminals, and all communication terminals have communication contracts with communication carriers (for communication carriers to connect communication terminals to public communication networks such as telephone lines). Provision of a search service for contracts and managed objects (objects that are desired to be managed among the possessions) for providing management information etc. of managed objects. The contract fee will be high.

  In addition, if the managed object is expensive like a car, the user requests a contract that can provide high compensation even if the contract fee is somewhat high, but if the managed object is cheap, a small amount A contract that provides compensation can be used. On the other hand, the user wants a service contract that can be found more reliably than the amount compensated for information that is valuable, such as a personal computer, that cannot be compensated with money. As described above, the contract contents required by the user differ depending on the importance and nature of the management object, and the management of the contract such as the contract period, the contract object, the contract fee, and the contract contents becomes very complicated.

  In view of such circumstances, in Patent Document 1, even when a vehicle as a management target encounters an accident, even if it is a communication terminal that has not yet signed a use contract for a vehicle emergency call system with a service provider. A new contract is concluded by transmitting a notification signal from the telephone device mounted on the vehicle to the service provider, thereby preventing an increase in the contract fee.

  However, in the new contract system with the service provider described in Patent Document 1, the user himself / herself sends a report signal with a telephone device mounted on the accident vehicle, or encounters an accident when the user is driving the vehicle. Only when the acceleration is suddenly applied, the notification signal is transmitted. For this reason, when it is assumed that the user is not in the vicinity of the vehicle, for example, when the vehicle is stolen, there is a problem in that the notification signal is not transmitted and the service provider service cannot be received.

In this regard, Patent Document 2 discloses that an operation for establishing or stopping an insurance contract is performed by accessing the insurance contract computer from a portable mobile communication terminal owned by the user, or the user owns the insurance contract when it is updated. It is described that the contract renewal is enabled by automatically transmitting from the insurance contract computer a notification of whether or not to renew the contract to the portable mobile communication terminal. In addition, when the contract suspension time approaches, the mobile mobile communication terminal owned by the user is notified and the user is prompted to renew the contract. If it is determined that there is, and the insurance contract computer knows the location information of the user, it is also described that the location information is also notified to the emergency contact previously deposited with the insurance company. .
JP 2002-279316 A JP 2003-50914 A

  However, in the insurance contract system described in Patent Document 2, since the vehicle does not include a communication terminal that communicates with the insurance contract computer, a user carrying the portable mobile terminal is installed in the vehicle in the vicinity of the vehicle. Unless the position information of the portable mobile terminal is acquired at the timing when a signal is received from a specific device capable of short-range wireless communication, the position information of the vehicle cannot be accurately grasped at a remote place. Therefore, as in Patent Document 1, when a vehicle is stolen, position information and the like can no longer be specified from a remote location by a portable mobile terminal owned by the user.

  On the other hand, in the vehicle emergency notification system of Patent Document 1, since the user needs to transmit a notification signal with the telephone device mounted on the accident vehicle as described above, the notification signal is transmitted when the user is not in the vicinity of the vehicle. And cannot receive service from the service provider.

  In view of the above points, an object of the present invention is to enable management information of a management target to be received from a remote place at an appropriate timing.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, the present invention is a transmission device provided in a management object, and a service is provided to a communication terminal via a contract processing terminal and a storage unit that stores in advance ID information of the contract processing terminal and the communication terminal. A transmission device including a transmission unit that transmits a confirmation signal for requesting confirmation of information related to a contract, and a control unit that transmits the ID information of the communication terminal and the confirmation signal to the contract processing terminal when a predetermined condition is detected I will provide a.

  With the above configuration, it is possible to confirm the contract from a remote location at an appropriate time in an emergency without complicated initial procedures, and it is possible to prevent an increase in the contract fee and complicated contract status. .

  The service contract is, for example, a communication contract (a contract for a communication carrier to connect a communication terminal to a public communication network such as a telephone line) or a security contract (a security company, This refers to contracts for providing management information of managed objects and contracts related to services such as managed objects (contracts for providing search services for objects that are desired to be managed). .

  The power generation means and detection means for detecting the power generation state of the power generation means are further provided, and the confirmation signal is transmitted when a predetermined power generation state is detected.

  By doing so, a confirmation signal is transmitted by detecting a change in the situation such as when power is generated by vibration or when power generation continues for a certain period of time, and the confirmation signal is sent at a more appropriate timing. Will be sent.

  Further, the power transmission device is provided in the transmitting device, and the second power storage device is provided in the management target, and when the remaining amount of at least one of the power storage device or the second power storage device reaches a predetermined value, A confirmation signal was sent.

  By doing so, it is possible to confirm the contract state due to excess or deficiency of the remaining amount of the power storage device, and it becomes possible to easily perform maintenance and inspection of the communication terminal.

  Moreover, the additional information regarding the said management target object and the said transmitter is transmitted with the said confirmation signal.

  By transmitting the additional information together with the confirmation signal in this way, the user can make a determination regarding an appropriate contract according to the state of the transmitting device and the management target. Note that the additional information is identification information such as the name, color, weight, etc. of the object to be managed, and a transmitting device such as a confirmation signal transmission cause such as a remaining amount of a power supply source such as a battery remaining amount or a battery low. In addition, management information such as location information and the like regarding the status of the management target can be considered, but other items that specify the transmission device, the management target, and the status are also included.

  As the additional information to be transmitted, at least one of the above-described identification information, transmission cause, and management information may be transmitted to the contract processing terminal together with the confirmation signal. By adding the identification information, it is possible to know which device has an abnormal situation, and it is possible to determine whether or not a contract is necessary depending on the importance of the device. In addition, if the remaining battery level is insufficient by adding the cause of the call, the contract is not made, it is sufficient to perform the maintenance of the sending device, and if the vibration is detected, it is highly likely that the service is stolen. The user can determine that there is a need to connect.

  Further, by adding management information, the position of the management object can be specified. Therefore, for example, even if the management object is lost, the management object can be found early.

  Moreover, the management target object which can install the transmitter mentioned above is proposed. Since such a management object can be retrofitted with a transmitting device, a more versatile system configuration can be achieved.

  A storage unit that stores in advance ID information of the contract processing terminal and the communication terminal; a transmission unit that transmits a confirmation signal for requesting the communication terminal to confirm information related to the service contract via the contract processing terminal; When the above condition is detected, a management object including a control unit that transmits ID information of the communication terminal and the confirmation signal to the contract processing terminal is proposed.

  With such a managed object, the managed object and the transmission unit are integrated, so that malfunctions caused by user operations can be reduced, and it is also possible to prevent third parties from working illegally easily. It is possible to detect the abnormality of the management object more reliably.

  A contract processing terminal capable of receiving a confirmation signal for requesting confirmation of information related to a service contract from a transmission device provided in the management target, wherein the transmission device receives the service contract by receiving the confirmation signal; A contract processing terminal is provided that includes a determination unit that determines whether or not the service contract has been concluded, and that transmits a contract signal for confirming whether or not to conclude the service contract to the communication terminal based on a determination result by the determination unit.

  The term “provided” here includes not only the case where the transmitting device (transmitting unit) is provided separately from the management target, but also the case where it is provided integrally with the management target.

  In addition, the communication terminal is capable of receiving information on a service contract from a service provider, and a confirmation signal for requesting confirmation of the information on the service contract is transmitted to the contract processing terminal from a transmitting device provided in the management target. By doing so, a communication terminal for receiving a contract signal for confirming whether or not to conclude the service contract from the contract processing terminal is proposed.

  When the user selects contract conclusion using the communication terminal having such a configuration, an appropriate response can be made to the received information regarding the service contract. Note that the service provider may be a security company, a distributor of a transmitting device, a communication provider that manages connection of a communication terminal to a communication network, a seller of managed objects, and the like.

  At this time, if the service provider is a security company, it is possible to provide a highly versatile service since it can be sold without contracting the transmitting device, and the number of customers can be increased. Further, if the service provider is a transmitting device sales business or a managed object sales business, a large number of transmitting devices and managed objects with high security and high added value can be sold. If the service provider manages the connection of the communication terminal to the communication network, the line usage fee can be collected because the number of times the transmitting device connects to the line increases.

  Further, the additional information received together with the contract signal is notified together with the notification as to whether or not to conclude the service contract.

  By doing so, the user can make a judgment regarding the contract more appropriately.

  Moreover, in order to function as the above-mentioned transmission device, communication terminal, and management object, a program for controlling the transmission device, communication terminal, or management object is used.

  In addition, the service is not supported by a contract, the transmission device provided for the management target, the communication terminal owned by the user, the confirmation signal is received from the transmission device, a predetermined determination process is performed, and the determination result is determined. A communication system having a contract processing terminal that transmits a contract signal for confirming whether or not to conclude a service contract to the communication terminal is proposed.

  According to the present invention, even if a contract with a service provider is not made in advance, it is possible to conclude a service contract and receive a predetermined service on the basis of various information corresponding to the situation change. This makes it possible to enjoy the service at a suitable timing from a remote location. In addition, since the contract can be confirmed at an appropriate timing, it is possible to prevent a complicated contract state and an increase in the contract fee, and it is also possible to detect an abnormal situation of the managed object at an early stage.

  The display unit 101 includes, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display, and the like. The power generation device may be used to charge the power storage device 107. For example, the converter 106 may be one that uses thermoelectric exchange or generates power using wind power. In addition, in this embodiment, although the thing provided with the solar cell 103 and the oscillating power conversion part 106 is illustrated as an electric power generating apparatus, it is good also as an aspect provided with any one, and it is further provided with another electric power generating apparatus. Of course, the power generation device may be selectively provided.

  The storage unit 104 includes ID information (for example, an IP address (Internet Protocol address), an e-mail address, a serial number, a serial number, and the like) for identifying and identifying the transmission device 100 itself and an attachment target of the transmission device 100. Identification information necessary for specifying the management target object 500 such as the device name, color, and weight of the management target object 500 is stored.

  In this embodiment, an example in which ID information is stored in the storage unit 104 of the transmission device 100 will be described. However, in another embodiment, a case where a storage unit that stores ID information other than the transmission device 100 is provided will be described later. To do.

  Also, ID information (for example, telephone number, IP address, e-mail address, serial number, manufacturing number, etc.) for identifying the communication terminal 300 that is a contact point for contacting management information (location information, etc.) of the transmitting device, contract It stores contact information (for example, IP address, e-mail address, telephone number, etc.) to the processing terminal 200, personal information identifying the user such as the user's address and name.

  In order to conclude a contract more quickly and accurately, a plurality of ID information of the communication terminal 300 as a contact may be registered. In this case, it is preferable to register with priority. The priority order may be changed by setting.

  When registering a contact or the like, the contact is input by operating the information input unit 102a and the cursor selection key 102c, and the input content is determined and registered by operating the enter button 102b. However, as a method of registering a contact address or the like, not only in the transmission device 100 in an independent state, but also by connecting the transmission device 100 to another device (such as a personal computer) and operating the other device, It may be configured to register contact information. Further, the other device may be provided in a management object such as a car and registered in the management object. By adopting such a configuration, the device can be reduced in size and cost. become.

  The control unit 105 is connected to the storage unit 104, the solar battery 103, the vibration power conversion unit 106, the battery monitoring unit 108, and the transmission unit 109. The state of the remaining amount of the power storage device by the battery monitoring unit 108, the power generation state by the power generation device By detecting this, the transmission command of the confirmation signal to the transmission unit 109 is controlled. The control unit is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit).

  Here, the confirmation signal refers to the contract status regarding the management information provision service provided by the service provider with the service provider (whether the contract has been concluded, how long the contract has been made, the charge, the contents of compensation, etc.). This is a signal for confirmation and is issued to the contract processing terminal 200 managed by the service provider.

  The power storage device 107 may be a single power storage device that can be charged and has a large capacity. However, a small capacity power storage device (for example, a capacitor) that is charged by a power generation device such as a solar battery may be separately provided. By providing the power storage device for the device, charging can be performed quickly even at a voltage obtained by the power generation device. In this case, the other large-capacity power storage device may be a non-chargeable and replaceable power storage device such as a dry battery.

  Further, the transmitting device 100 may be provided with a time measuring device, and may be controlled so that a confirmation signal is intermittently transmitted according to the set elapsed time. It is set to be able to detect special sounds such as loud sounds above a certain level and sound that breaks the window glass, and when these sounds are detected by the sensor, it is configured to control so that a confirmation signal is transmitted. It may be.

  In this case, the contract state and the state of the transmission device 100 can be confirmed at the set intervals, and the management object 500 such as a safe provided with the transmission device 100 is moved by detecting that the vehicle has entered the house or the like. Since the abnormal situation can be detected before being performed, an effect of detecting the abnormal situation at an early stage can be expected.

  In addition, in order to accurately specify the position of the management object 500, the transmitting apparatus 100 is configured to identify the current position from the radio wave condition from the GPS (Global Positioning System) or mobile phone base station and the position of the base station. The current position of the transmission device 100 may be stored in the storage unit 104 as needed, and the position information may be transmitted when the confirmation signal is transmitted.

(Contract processing terminal)
Next, the contract processing terminal 200 will be described with reference to the system configuration diagram shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. The contract processing terminal 200 includes an interface 201 that transmits and receives communications from the public communication network 400, a database 203 that stores contractor information, a storage unit 204 that temporarily stores predetermined information, and a transmission device that transmits a confirmation signal. 100 includes a determination unit 205 that determines the contract status of 100, a contract processing unit 206 that performs a new contract or contract update based on a contract signal received from the communication terminal 300, and a control unit 202 that controls these units.

  The control unit 202 transmits or receives a predetermined instruction signal to the database 203, the storage unit 204, and the determination unit 205, and the transmitting device 100 transmits a confirmation signal. The determination unit 205 is instructed to determine whether it is a contract, and a new contract is processed, and additional information / contractor information issued from the transmission device 100 is written to the storage unit 204. The processing of the confirmation signal and the contract signal will be described later in the description of the contract conclusion flow.

  Here, the additional information is related to the state of the transmitting device 100 and the management target 500. For example, identification information such as the device name, color, and weight of the management target 500, the remaining amount of the power storage device, a confirmation signal such as vibration detection, etc. There is a cause of transmission, etc., and information necessary for collecting the user's information and charges, such as the contractor's address, contact address, age, designated account number for payment, etc., as the contractor information Is registered.

  Further, the storage unit 204 stores temporary information, and a contract signal indicating whether or not to conclude a contract from the user who has received the position information, additional information, and confirmation signal transmitted from the transmitting device by the communication terminal 300. Keep until reply.

(Communication terminal)
Next, the communication terminal 300 will be described with reference to the system configuration diagram shown in FIG. 1, the block diagram shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6, which is a display example on the communication terminal. (The overview of the communication terminal is omitted because it is the same as above).

  The communication terminal 300 includes a transmission / reception unit 303 that transmits / receives a contract signal to / from the contract processing terminal 200, a display unit 301 that displays management information and contract information, a voice generation unit 302 that emits management information and contract information by voice, An operation unit 304 that performs a predetermined operation, a transmission / reception unit 303, a display unit 301 configured by an LCD or an organic EL display, an audio generation unit 302, and an operation unit 304 transmit and receive predetermined signals to and from these units. And a control unit 305 that performs control.

  When the contract signal 1 is received from the contract processing terminal 200 by the transmission / reception unit 303, the display unit 301 or the sound generation unit 302 notifies the user of the received content including the contract information by image or sound, and the operation unit 304 makes a new contract. Is transmitted to the contract processing terminal 200 as the contract signal 2.

(Contract conclusion flow)
Next, with reference to FIGS. 1 and 7, a flow until acquisition of management information of the management target 500 using the communication system of the present invention will be described. In the description of the present embodiment, the description will be made on the assumption that the managed object 500 is stolen and the owner is not yet aware of the theft.

  The control unit 105 included in the transmission device 100 provided in the management target 500 is configured to detect a decrease in the remaining amount of the power storage device 107 by the battery monitoring unit 108 or the power generation status of each power generation device (voltage and current generated by the power generation device). It is determined that there is an abnormal situation by detecting how long and at intervals. In this embodiment, the control unit 105 is used as a detection unit for detecting the power generation state of the present invention. However, a detection unit may be provided separately from the control unit.

  Next, the control unit 105 registers the contact information of the contract processing terminal 200 and the ID information of the communication terminal 300 registered in the storage unit 104, the device name of the management target 500, the cause of the confirmation signal transmission, and the management target 500. Additional information such as the identification information of the communication terminal 300 is read out, and an instruction signal is sent from the transmission unit 109 to the contact information of the contract processing terminal 200 together with the confirmation signal from the transmission unit 109. A confirmation signal is transmitted to the contract processing terminal 200 via the terminal (step 0, hereinafter the same as S0).

  Next, in S1, at the contract processing terminal 200, after receiving the confirmation signal transmitted from the transmitting device 100 by the interface 201, the control unit 202 transmits based on the ID information of the transmitting device 100 transmitted together with the confirmation signal. The discriminating unit 205 is instructed to determine a contract state relating to a service such as location provision of the device 100.

  As a determination method for determining whether the transmission device 100 has an existing contract or a non-contract for service provision, for example, the transmission device received by the contract processing terminal 200 by collating with contractor information registered in the database 203. If the 100 ID information matches that registered in the database 203, it is determined to be an existing contract, and if the ID information does not match, it is determined to be an unsigned contract.

  Here, when there is an operator at the reception destination of the confirmation signal, the operator refers to the database 203 based on the ID information of the transmission device transmitted together with the confirmation signal, and determines whether or not the transmission device 100 is already contracted. .

  If the transmitting device 100 that has transmitted the confirmation signal is already contracted, the process proceeds to S2, and based on the already registered contractor information or the user information transmitted and transmitted together with the confirmation signal from the transmitting device 100. A service such as transmitting the location information of the transmitting device 100 to the communication terminal 300 registered as a contact address is provided.

  If the determination unit 205 determines that the transmitting device 100 has not yet concluded a contract for the location providing service, the process proceeds to S3 and a contract signal for presenting to the user whether or not to conclude a new contract. The control unit 202 instructs 1 to be transmitted from the interface 201 to the communication terminal 300. At this time, in order to conclude the contract with the contract contents more suitable for the situation, a signal for presenting the contract that newly defines the compensation contents for the managed object using the additional information added to the confirmation signal is used. You may control to produce | generate and transmit to the communication terminal 300 as the contract signal 1. FIG.

  Next, in S4, in the communication terminal 300, the contract signal 1 transmitted from the contract processing terminal 200 is received by the transmission / reception unit 303, and the user confirms the additional information transmitted from the transmission device 100 and determines whether or not the contract is necessary. To do.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the processing of S4 described above, and shows an example of a display method when the communication terminal 300 receives the contract signal 1 transmitted from the contract processing terminal 200. On the display unit 301 of the communication terminal 300, an attached device name display unit 301a, a confirmation signal transmission cause display unit 301b, and a contract selection menu display unit 301c are displayed.

  After confirming the display contents of the additional information (here “device name: car” and “battery is running out. Do you want to contract?”), The user determines the necessity of the contract and operates the operation part of the communication terminal. By operating 304, either “YES” or “NO” in the contract selection menu 301c can be selected, and for example, contract conclusion can be selected.

  When a signal to conclude a contract is transmitted to the contract processing terminal 200 by the user's selection, the process proceeds to S6, where the contract processing terminal 200 receives the signal at the interface 201, and the control unit 202 sends the contract processing unit 206 to the contract processing unit 206. A contract processing instruction is issued, and the contract processing unit 206 performs contract conclusion processing.

  Specifically, the ID of the transmitting device 100 is newly associated with the personal information transmitted as the additional information and stored together with the contracted flag in the database 203 as the contract terminal information. As the personal information, information transmitted as additional information or information newly obtained from the user through the communication terminal 300 is used.

  Next, in S <b> 7, after the contract is concluded, the contract processing terminal 200 transmits the positional information and the like of the management object 500 obtained from the transmitting device 100 to the communication terminal 300 from the interface 201. On the display unit 301 of the communication terminal 300, although not shown, the map of the position information of the transmitting device 100 is displayed by image display, or an address or the like is displayed by characters, and the possibility of theft from the current location of the management target 500 Can be judged.

  In S4, when the user confirms the additional information, determines that the managed object 500 is not in an abnormal state or is not in a state of signing a contract, and determines that the contract is not concluded. Can proceed to S5 and perform maintenance and inspection of the transmitting device 100.

  As described above, the ID of the communication terminal 300 is stored in advance in the transmission device 100, and the contract processing terminal 200 is at a timing when the remaining amount of the power storage device reaches a predetermined value or when it is determined that an abnormal state occurs depending on the power generation state of the power generation device. A confirmation signal is sent to request confirmation of the service contract.

  By doing in this way, even if the user has not yet contracted for the security service, there is a possibility that the abnormality of the managed object 500 can be detected early through the communication terminal 300 by enjoying the service later. Get higher.

  When ID information of a plurality of communication terminals other than the communication terminal 300 is registered in the transmitting device 100, the contract signal may be transmitted simultaneously to the other registered communication terminals, and the priority order is determined. May be transmitted sequentially in the order of priority. Furthermore, the priority order may be registered or updated in advance.

  When the contract signal is transmitted simultaneously to a plurality of communication terminals, and the selection of contract conclusion differs depending on each communication terminal, the contract processing terminal 200 notifies that different selections have been made on other terminals. Thus, it is more preferable to repeat transmitting a contract conclusion signal again to a communication terminal that has not been contracted.

  When the priority information is determined and the ID information of other communication terminals is registered, when the confirmation signal is transmitted from the transmitting device 100 to the contract processing terminal 200, the list of contacts whose priorities are indicated is also simultaneously displayed. The contract processing terminal 200 cannot receive the contract signal if the contract processing terminal 200 sequentially repeats the procedure of contacting the terminal of the next order if no response signal is returned from the terminal of the first priority in a certain period. This is more preferable because the situation can be avoided.

  Further, in this system, when the communication terminal 300 performs the contract conclusion process, the cause of the confirmation signal transmitted as additional information, the name of the device to which the transmission device 100 is attached, etc. are displayed on the display unit 301 together with the contract conclusion notification. When displayed, the user can more appropriately determine contract conclusion based on the importance of the management target object 500.

  In the present embodiment, the service provider that is the main provider of the service is described as a security company. However, even if the service provider is not a security company, the service provider of the transmitting device 100 and the communication network of the communication terminal are connected to the communication network. A communication carrier that performs connection management, a seller of the managed object 500, and the like may provide services such as providing location information.

  It is also possible to send a management request such as searching for the management object 500 at the same time as transmitting a contract conclusion instruction signal from the communication terminal 300.

  In the present embodiment, the transmission device includes the transmission unit 109 that performs only transmission. However, the present invention does not exclude the provision of a communication unit that bidirectionally transmits and receives information. When a communication unit is provided, personal information for identifying a user for contract processing is transmitted from the transmitting device 100 for the first time when a request is made from the contract processing terminal 200 to the transmitting device 100, and newly acquired. Also good. In this way, when the user receives the contract signal 1 by the communication terminal 300 and transmits the contract signal 2 for concluding the contract, it is not necessary to input personal information, and every time a confirmation signal is transmitted. Therefore, it is not necessary to transmit personal information to the system, so that a more suitable system configuration can be realized from the viewpoint of protecting personal information.

  As described above, in the communication system according to the present invention, the transmitting device 100 whose contact address has been registered in advance transmits a confirmation signal to the communication terminal 300 via the contract processing terminal 200 by detecting the elapse of a predetermined state or a predetermined period. The user can make a contract with the service provider by concluding the contract based on the confirmation signal.

  With such a configuration, even if the user is away from the management target object 500, the user can grasp the state of the management target object 500 and can conclude a contract when a service is required. For this reason, the user can receive a service at low cost, and the management of a large number of transmission devices becomes easy.

<Second Embodiment>
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, the contract processing after the confirmation signal is transmitted is the same as in the first embodiment, and the management target itself is provided with a power source and a power storage device (second power storage device of the present invention). An embodiment in the case where a transmission unit that transmits a confirmation signal is provided integrally with the management target will be described. In the present embodiment, an automobile is adopted as an example of the management object, and an example of the configuration of each unit and the timing at which a confirmation signal is transmitted will be described with reference to FIG.

  The automobile 600 includes a storage unit 601 that stores information such as ID information of the communication terminal 300 of the self and the contact, a car battery 602, a vibration power conversion unit 603, a battery monitoring unit 604 that monitors the remaining amount of the car battery, and a predetermined signal A transmission unit 605 that transmits and receives data from a communication network, a storage unit 601, a vibration power conversion unit 603, a battery monitoring unit 604, and a transmission unit 605 that transmits and receives predetermined command signals and controls each unit, and has an antenna 607. is doing.

  Each part is installed in a state in which it cannot be removed from the automobile 600 except for repairs, etc., and the storage unit 601 communicates with the identification information about the automobile 600 such as the vehicle type, color, manufacturing number, body number, or ID information unique to the transmitter. The previous ID information is registered in advance by an automobile dealer or the like. In this case, in order to register a vehicle type or the like in the storage unit 601, a user or an operator may register information such as a vehicle type by connecting to a terminal connected to a car navigation system, a notebook PC, or the like.

  In addition to the power supplied from the car battery 602 originally provided in the automobile 600 to the transmitting unit 605, a power storage device for the transmitting unit is further provided in addition to the car battery. It is good also as a structure by which the electrical storage apparatus for transmission parts is charged rapidly by charging from the battery 602. FIG.

  As a timing for transmitting the confirmation signal with such a configuration, when the vibration is detected by the vibration power conversion unit 603 in the case of a management target that constantly generates vibrations such as an automobile, the confirmation signal is transmitted. It is not preferable to do.

  Therefore, if a vibration is not detected for a certain period of time, or if an engine start detection unit that detects engine start is provided and the engine start is detected or vibration is detected without detecting engine start, a confirmation signal is issued. It is good also as a structure controlled so that it may be transmitted. In this way, it can be expected that an abnormal situation can be sensed when the automobile 600 is left for a long time due to theft or when the engine is started.

  However, in the configuration in which the engine start is detected and the confirmation signal is transmitted one by one, when the automobile 600 is normally used, information related to the contract may be sent many times to the communication terminal 300, which may be complicated for the user. It is preferable that the user can set whether or not to send a confirmation signal upon detecting the start.

  In addition, a gasoline monitoring device that monitors the remaining amount of gasoline may be separately provided and connected so that a confirmation signal is transmitted when the remaining amount of gasoline falls below a predetermined position. Even in this case, there is a possibility that an abnormality such as theft can be grasped as a result of a decrease in the gasoline remaining amount of the automobile 600 that should not ride for a long time.

  In the case where an attachment device such as a car navigation system in the automobile 600 has a position positioning system, the information may be stored as management information at any time. Further, not only the position information as management information, but also the remaining amount of the car battery 602 and the remaining amount of gasoline necessary for knowing the details of the status of the management target, the travel distance, the operation status such as running or stopped, etc. Various information can be considered, and when transmitting a confirmation signal, identification information and management information may be transmitted together as additional information.

  In this way, if an automobile sales company that has partnered with a security company is provided with a transmission device 100 that stores ID information and the like of the communication terminal 300 at the time of automobile sales, the security service is high. Cars with added value can be provided.

<Third embodiment>
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, the contract processing after the confirmation signal is transmitted is the same as in the first embodiment, and the transmitting device does not have any other power source or power storage device like a picture or a safe and is always fixed. The case where it is prepared for something like that will be described. In the present embodiment, an example of the timing at which a confirmation signal is transmitted will be described with reference to FIG. 9, assuming that the management object 500 to which the transmission device 100 is attached is a painting.

  The transmitting device 100 is installed behind or inside the frame 701 due to the nature of the painting 700 to be appreciated, and is fixed and installed so as to move in the same manner as the painting 700 moves.

  The timing for transmitting the confirmation signal with such a configuration may be when the movement of the painting 700 is detected by the vibration power converter 106. The transmitting device 100 is usually installed behind the painting so that it is not conspicuous. Normally, the solar cell 103 cannot generate power, but when it is stolen and left behind, the solar cell 103 generates power. Therefore, a configuration is adopted in which a confirmation signal is transmitted by detecting a condition that power generation continues by the solar cell 103 for a certain period of time. As described above, when the movement is detected or the power generation is detected by the solar cell 103 usually installed on the back side of the painting, it can be determined that the painting may have been taken out.

  In addition, if a confirmation signal is transmitted when the remaining amount of the power storage device 107 provided in the transmission device is low, it is useful not only from the time of theft but also from the viewpoint of equipment maintenance. .

  Furthermore, in the present system, since the storage object having a relatively large capacity is not provided in the management target, the remaining power storage device 107 provided in the transmission device is secured in order to ensure a period during which the confirmation signal can be transmitted. When the amount decreases, the confirmation signal transmission timing is limited to when vibration is detected, and power consumption is reduced by disconnecting other circuits other than the power storage device. It is also possible to do so.

  In the present embodiment, the vibration power conversion unit and the solar cell are exemplified as the power generation device, but the type of the power generation device is not limited thereto, and energy such as wind power and heat may be used. That is, by detecting a change in state by what is converted into electric power and charging the power storage device 107 provided in the transmission device 100 with the obtained electric power, the capacity of the present embodiment is reduced. Even a management object that does not include a large power storage device can be reliably managed.

  Further, when the transmission device 100 is provided in a management object that does not normally move, such as the management object according to the present embodiment, position information as management information registered in the storage unit 104 of the transmission device The location may be memorized in detail, such as the XX building XX floor XX room. This makes it possible to detect a change in position information even if the floor or room is moved in the same building.

<Fourth embodiment>
Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described using FIG. 10, FIG. 11, FIG. 12, and FIG. In this embodiment, the contract processing after the confirmation signal is transmitted is the same as in the first embodiment, and the transmission device has a power source and a power storage device in addition to a laptop computer, and is highly versatile. An embodiment in the case where a management object with a different usage mode is provided will be described. In the present embodiment, a method for determining the timing at which a confirmation signal is transmitted will be described using the management object 500 to which the transmission device 100 is attached as a notebook computer.

  The transmitting device 100 is installed in a manner like a key holder on a notebook personal computer 800, which is a management object, such as a wire that cannot be easily cut, or is incorporated inside (installed on a board). The transmission device 100 is provided with a connection terminal capable of supplying power such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) (registered trademark) terminal, and can receive data from such a connection terminal to exchange data. It is installed in such a manner.

  The timing for transmitting the confirmation signal in this state is a condition that when the vibration power is detected by the vibration power converter 106 as described above and the solar cell 103 is exposed, the solar cell 103 continues power generation for a certain period. In addition to this, when power generation is not performed for a certain period, a confirmation signal is transmitted at intervals of a predetermined period.

  The timing at which the confirmation signal is transmitted is set in advance in the case of a management object having a different usage such as the importance of the information contained therein by the user, such as a notebook computer, the frequency of movement, and the power-on interval. Depending on the user, the usage mode and the setting contents may not match, and confirmation signals may be frequently transmitted or may not be transmitted conversely.

  In such a case, it is very difficult for the user to determine what condition each detection device detects to send a confirmation signal, and to set the timing for sending the confirmation signal suitable for the user's usage mode. Have difficulty.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to set the timing at which the confirmation signal is transmitted by the user selectively inputting the easy-to-understand elements such as the installation method, the movement frequency, and the importance of the management target object according to the guidance at the initial setting. I made it.

  Specifically, when the user sets the timing for transmitting the confirmation signal, when the user connects to the display unit 101 provided in the transmission device 100 or the notebook computer, the display unit 801 of the notebook computer or the voice is used. The timing at which the confirmation signal is transmitted by the guidance notified by the generation unit (not shown) is set.

  The contents of the guidance are “frequency of moving the notebook PC (moving every 1 to 3 days, etc.)”, “setting method of the transmitter (built-in, depending on the USB terminal, etc.)”, “importance of the notebook PC (high / Medium, low, etc.) ".

  FIG. 11 shows an example of guidance display according to the present embodiment, and shows an example in which the installation method, the movement frequency, and the importance can be selected and set as guidance on the display unit 801 of the notebook computer.

  The user displays the installation method selection menu 803a, the movement frequency selection menu 803b, and the importance level selection menu 803c from the installation method selection tab 802a, the movement frequency selection tab 802b, and the importance level selection tab 802c displayed on the display unit 801. Is selected from the selection menus in accordance with the user's usage mode.

  For example, on the left side of the display unit 801, “How to install” (804a) is displayed as the installation method, and on the right side using the installation method selection tab 802a, for example, “USB”, “Keychain” , "Embedded type" can be selected and input. Similarly, if the movement frequency is “1 to 3 days”, “once a week”, “once a month”, or “do not move”, the importance is “high”, Either “medium” or “low” can be selected.

  Next, when all the selection menus have been input in accordance with the above guidance, a confirmation screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 12, and the input contents are displayed in the installation method confirmation display section 804a, the movement frequency confirmation display section 804b, and the importance degree confirmation display section 804c. Is displayed. And the transmission timing by each detection means decided according to the input content is displayed on the confirmation signal confirmation display section 805, and the condition is set.

  In FIG. 12, the installation method is “USB”, the carrying frequency is “once every 1 to 3 days”, the importance is “medium”, and the transmission condition is “1 week vibration detection” as the input condition. “When not done”, the transmission interval by time detection is set as “one week interval”.

  It should be noted that the installation method, period, etc. used in the present embodiment are examples. Whether the installation method vibrates in synchronization with the management object, whether power can be supplied from the management object, and the management object and the transmitting device. It is defined based on the idea that information can be exchanged between the two. The movement frequency and the transmission timing of the confirmation signal are defined based on the idea that an abnormal situation is determined when the movement frequency does not move for a period longer than the normal movement frequency.

  Therefore, various relations between the “movement frequency” and the “confirmation signal transmission timing” described in FIG. 13 are conceivable, and it is sufficient that the transmission timing interval is longer than the movement frequency specified by the user through the guidance. Further, the relationship between “movement frequency” and “confirmation signal transmission timing” may be changeable on the communication terminal or contract processing terminal side. As a result, the transmission timing of the confirmation signal can be set flexibly, and a more versatile system configuration is possible.

  As means for realizing such a determination method, a transmission interval determination table 900a based on vibration detection and a transmission interval determination table based on time detection in which usage modes and confirmation signal transmission timings relating to each detection means as shown in FIG. 13 are defined. 900b is stored in the storage unit 104 provided in the transmission device.

  Then, the transmission timing by each detection means is determined by associating the condition selected by the user with the guidance with the transmission interval determination table 900a based on vibration detection and the transmission interval determination table 900b based on time detection. On the other hand, when the battery monitoring unit 108 detects that the battery of the power storage device 107 is low, a confirmation signal is transmitted regardless of the user setting.

  In addition, as described above, when the user sets the importance level to “high” according to the importance level of the information stored in the notebook computer (the importance level of the management target), the transmission set by each transmission interval determination table A confirmation signal is transmitted at a timing earlier than the interval.

  Specifically, when the transmission interval is “1 week interval” and the importance level is set to “high”, the confirmation signal is sent at an interval of 0.49 days, which is 7 days (1 week) multiplied by 0.7. The transmission interval may be determined so as to be transmitted or rounded off to 0.49 days and transmitted at intervals of 5 days. In this case, when the other importance levels are “medium” and “low”, “medium” is an interval obtained by multiplying the transmission interval determined in each determination table by 1, and “low” is determined in each determination table. An interval obtained by multiplying the transmission interval by 1.3 may be used. Note that the relationship between the importance level and the numerical value described above is an example, and if the importance level is set in more detail in advance and the interval between the corresponding numerical values is reduced, a setting that is more suitable for the user's usage mode is possible. It becomes.

  By associating the usage mode selected by the user with each table stored in the storage unit 104 as described above, the timing for transmitting the confirmation signal corresponding to the usage mode of the user is automatically set.

  In the above description, tables are provided for the vibration detection means and the time detection means. However, if the tables are similarly provided for the solar battery 103 and other detection means, the transmission timing can be set in more detail. become.

  In addition, since the time of action varies depending on the user, it may be possible to set a time zone in which the confirmation signal is transmitted. In this case, if the importance level is “High”, a confirmation signal is sent if an abnormality is detected at any time, and if the importance level is “Medium” or “Low”, the time set by the user You may enable it to designate the time slot | zone notified to a user according to importance, such as a confirmation signal being transmitted only to a belt | band | zone. By doing in this way, a user can confirm the abnormal situation according to a user's life style about the management target object which is low in importance and does not need to be notified urgently.

  As described above, when the usage of the management object differs depending on the user and the management object is highly versatile, the timing at which the confirmation signal is transmitted through the guidance is automatically set. Thus, the confirmation signal can be transmitted under conditions more suitable for the usage mode of the user.

<Fifth embodiment>
Next, an example of the configuration of each part and the timing at which a confirmation signal is transmitted according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

In addition, the same numerals are attached | subjected about the same component as 1st embodiment, and the part added newly is attached | subjected the code | symbol newly.

  In FIG. 14, the configuration of the transmitting device 100 is the same as the configuration shown in the first embodiment except that the transmitting device 100 includes an interface 111 that transmits information from the control unit 105 and receives information from other terminals. Further, the management object 500 transmits information from the storage unit 502, the power storage device 503, and the control unit 501, which stores identification information, ID information attached to the management object 500, ID information common to the transmission device, and the like. An interface 504 for receiving information from other terminals and a control unit 501 for controlling each unit are provided.

  The transmission device 100 is connected so as to be able to transmit and receive information to and from the management object 500 wirelessly or by wire, and a configuration is made such that a confirmation signal is transmitted by judging the state of each part provided in the transmission device 100 and the management object 500. It has become.

  Specifically, the remaining amount of the power storage device provided in the management target 500 is detected, and a confirmation signal is transmitted when a predetermined remaining amount is reached. Further, the remaining amount of the power storage device 107 provided in the transmitting device 100 and the remaining amount of the power storage device 503 provided in the management target 500 are simultaneously determined, and confirmation is made when the remaining amount is a predetermined value. Send a signal. The power storage devices 107 and 503 may be able to exchange power with each other.

  By enabling mutual control over the power supply in this way, it becomes possible to hold power for transmitting a confirmation signal for a long period of time, and by monitoring the power storage device 503 on the management target side in the transmission device 100, Normally, the management object 500 is connected to a power source, and although there is no power reduction of the power storage device 503, it can be determined as an abnormal situation by detecting a power reduction, and more abnormal situations are determined. become able to.

  Further, ID information of the transmission device 100 is stored in the storage unit 502 provided in the management target 500, and when the connected transmission device is not a transmission device registered in the storage unit 502, the transmission device 100 and / or Alternatively, higher security performance can be obtained by performing control such as limiting the operation of the management target object 500 by the control unit 105 and the control unit 501 provided in each of them.

  Further, by providing the management object 500 with a means that can detect a change in the state as in the power generation device 112 (the detection object does not have to be electrical and may detect a chemical reaction) The confirmation signal may be transmitted by mutually judging changes in the state detected by the detection means provided in the apparatus 100. In this case, the chemical reaction is detected by providing a detection means for detecting the chemical reaction by causing a chemical reaction when the management object 500 is tilted and mixing the chemicals with each other, and detecting the chemical reaction. The confirmation signal is transmitted according to the state (heat, generated gas, etc.).

  Thus, by setting it as the structure which connects the transmission apparatus 100 and the management target object 500 so that it can mutually control, a security performance can be improved more and more precise control can be performed now.
