  FIG. 3 is a block diagram for explaining a device configuration in the emergency bag 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  As described above, the emergency bag 100 includes the interface unit 120, the flashlight 132, the radio receiver 140, and the GPS tracker 150.

  The interface unit 120 includes a power supply circuit 122. The power supply circuit 122 includes, for example, an induction coil 124 and an AC / DC converter 126. The induction coil 124 is a secondary coil that extracts an induced current by a mutual induction action using the induction coil on the docking station 200 side as a primary coil (see FIG. 5). The induced current taken out by the induction coil 124 is sent to the AC / DC converter 126. The AC / DC converter 126 rectifies the induced current that is sent out and converts it into a direct current. The direct current converted by the AC / DC converter 126 is typically stepped down to a desired voltage by a DC / DC converter (not shown) and supplied to the flashlight 132, the radio receiver 140 and the GPS tracker 150. Is done. The power supply circuit 122 also includes a power supply control circuit 128 for the GPS tracker.

  The flashlight 132 has a built-in nickel-metal hydride storage battery, for example, and is configured to turn on the light emitting element with the electric power from the storage battery when the body switch is turned on. The light emitting element may be an LED or a filament type so-called miniature light bulb. The flashlight 132 is held in a socket 130 provided in the storage unit 110 so that the storage battery can be charged in that state.

  In addition, the flashlight 132 includes a contact opening / closing type microswitch as described above. The micro switch is provided so as to contact with the socket of the emergency bag 100 while being held. That is, when the flashlight 132 is held in the socket 130, the microswitch is pressed by the inner surface of the socket 130 to be turned off. When the microswitch is detached from the socket 130, the microswitch is released from the pressure and turned on. The flashlight 132 is configured to be energized when the microswitch is turned on and to be lit unless the main body switch is turned off.

  Further, the flashlight 132 may incorporate a power failure detection circuit. The power failure detection circuit detects whether or not the power supply from the socket 130 is interrupted. The power failure detection circuit may be configured not to detect complete interruption of power supply but to detect that the power supply has dropped below a predetermined reference voltage. The interruption of the power supply occurs, for example, when the flashlight 132 is removed from the socket or when the emergency bag 100 is detached from the docking station 200. Alternatively, the power supply to the docking station 200 is interrupted due to a power failure. Accordingly, in the event of a power failure due to an earthquake or the like, the flashlight 132 attached to the emergency bag 100 is turned on, which gives a sense of security to the users in the environment, and the user ensures the location of the emergency bag 100. To be able to grasp. When the user takes out the emergency bag 100 and removes it from the docking station 200, the flashlight 132 does not need to be constantly turned on. Power consumption can be reduced.

  The radio receiver 140 includes, for example, a nickel metal hydride storage battery, and is configured to be able to listen to radio sound with the power from the storage battery by operating the radio operation unit 142. In this embodiment, the radio receiver 140 is selected as a means for acquiring emergency public information. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a portable television receiver, for example. . As described above, the radio operation unit 142 of the radio receiver 140 is provided on the shoulder belt 112 of the emergency bag 100. The controller may be an analog operation knob, or may be a digital operation panel including a display screen, for example. A user (evacuee) can adjust the volume and tune the radio receiver 140 by operating the radio operation unit 142. In addition, the speaker 141 of the radio receiver 142 is provided, for example, so as to be positioned on the upper surface or the upper side of the storage unit 110. As a result, when the user carries the emergency bag, the speaker is positioned just around the user's ear so that the desired radio sound can be easily heard and the emergency bag 100 is placed on the floor or the like. Even if you do, you can listen to the radio sound without being disturbed by surrounding objects.

  The GPS tracking device 150 is a position information transmitter that transmits GPS signals at predetermined time intervals, and operates by, for example, a built-in nickel-metal hydride storage battery. The GPS signal includes, for example, transmitter-specific information and GPS information received from a GPS satellite. The service center can notify the location information to a third party by using, for example, a web service or the like by receiving the GPS signal via the base station and performing computer processing on the GPS signal. A known service can be used as such a location information notification service. Therefore, in the event of a disaster, if the user carries the emergency bag 100 of the present embodiment, the family and acquaintances can be surely notified of information such as where the shelter was evacuated.

  The power ON / OFF of the GPS tracking device 150 is controlled by, for example, a power control circuit 128 included in the power circuit 122 of the interface unit 120. The power supply control circuit 128 includes a power failure detection circuit that detects whether or not the power supply from the docking station is cut off. When the power supply control circuit 128 detects that the emergency bag 100 is not placed on the docking station 200 and power is not supplied from the docking station 200, the power switch of the GPS tracker is turned on. Output a control signal. This is because, unlike the flashlight 132, it is not necessary to acquire position information by GPS in a situation where a power failure has just occurred. Whether or not the emergency bag 100 is detached from the docking station 200 is detected by opening and closing a switch 121 provided at the bottom of the storage unit 110. A power switch may be provided on the GPS tracking device 150 main body. When the user determines that GPS tracking is not necessary, the user can turn it off to prevent the battery from being consumed.

  FIG. 4 is a view for explaining the external configuration of the docking station 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention. As described above, the docking station 200 places the emergency bag 100 and supplies necessary power to the emergency bag 100. The docking station 200 has a built-in emergency earthquake warning device (see FIG. 5), and is configured to issue an alarm when receiving an emergency earthquake warning.

  As shown in the figure, the docking station 200 of the present embodiment is formed by a substantially square pyramid-shaped casing 210, but is not limited thereto. The casing 210 may be, for example, a substantially disk shape or a substantially elliptic disk shape.

Further, the mounting portion 214 has a protrusion 218 that slightly protrudes upward. The protrusion 218 presses the switch 121 provided in the cavity at the bottom of the emergency bag 100 in a state where the emergency bag 100 is correctly placed on the placement portion 214. Thereby, it is possible to detect whether the emergency bag 100 is correctly placed on the docking station 200.

  Various operation buttons 220, an indicator 230, and a speaker 240 are provided on the front surface of the peripheral portion 212 to form a user interface. In the present embodiment, the indicator 230 is composed of a plurality of LEDs. The docking station 200 provides various types of information to the user according to the light emission pattern (for example, a combination of color and continuous / flashing). For example, the docking station 200 causes the indicator 230 to emit light and ring the speaker 240 upon receipt of the emergency earthquake warning. The operation button 220, the indicator 230, and / or the speaker 240 are not limited to being disposed on the front surface, and may be disposed on the upper end portion of the housing 210, for example.

  An inline power port for supplying external power and an Ethernet (registered trademark) port for connecting to a LAN are formed at the rear of the docking station 200 (not shown). In the figure, a power cable and a LAN cable respectively connected to these ports are shown.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram for explaining an internal system configuration of the docking station 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in the figure, the docking station 200 includes an AC / DC converter 510, an induction coil 520, a control circuit 530, a user interface 540, an earthquake alarm device 550, a CO2 detection device 560, and a communication device 570. And an IC tag reader 580.

  The AC / DC converter 510 rectifies an alternating current input to the power supply port and converts it into a direct current. The direct current converted by the AC / DC converter 510 is typically stepped down to a desired voltage by a DC / DC converter (not shown) and output to the control circuit 530. The induction coil 520 is a primary coil for generating an induced current in the emergency bag 100 by mutual induction. The induction coil 520 is disposed below the surface of the mounting portion 124 so as to efficiently couple with the induction coil 124 of the emergency bag 100.

  The control circuit 530 typically includes a microprocessor, a memory, a peripheral chip, a bus, and the like (not shown). The control circuit 530 interprets and executes the programmed code under the control of the microprocessor, and causes the docking station 200 to realize various functions. The control circuit 530 incorporates a clock function. The control circuit 530 connects the user interface 540, the earthquake warning device 550, the CO2 detection device 560, the communication device 570, and the IC tag reader 580.

  The user interface 540 includes an operation unit 542, a display unit 544, and an audio output unit 546. The operation unit 542 includes, for example, a plurality of operation buttons 220 including a power button. As described above, the display unit 544 includes, for example, the indicator 230 in which a plurality of LEDs are arranged. However, the display unit 544 is not limited thereto, and may be configured by a display device such as a liquid crystal panel. Further, a liquid crystal touch panel in which the operation unit 542 and the display unit 544 are integrated may be used. The audio output unit 546 corresponds to the speaker 240. The user can give an instruction to the control circuit 530 by operating the operation unit 542 in accordance with the contents shown on the display unit 544 and the voice guidance output from the voice output unit 546 under the control of the control circuit 530. For example, the user can perform various settings (for example, volume settings) by operating the operation unit 542. The docking station 200 controls the display of the display unit 544 based on various statuses, for example, and controls the output of the audio output unit 544 under the control of the control circuit 530. Provide various information. The display unit 544 and / or the audio output unit 546 functions as a notification unit that notifies a user in the environment of an alarm such as an emergency earthquake alarm.

  The earthquake warning device 550 is a device for receiving an emergency earthquake bulletin distributed, for example, by radio. Such an earthquake early warning is, for example, provided in Japan from the early earthquake warning system of the Japan Meteorological Agency. The earthquake alarm device 550 may receive an emergency earthquake alarm distributed via the Internet. When receiving the earthquake early warning, the earthquake warning device 550 interrupts the control circuit 530 with an interrupt signal. In response to this, the control circuit 530 controls the display of the display unit and controls the speaker so as to output sound and alarm sound. Alternatively, the earthquake alarm device 550 may directly control the display unit 544 and the audio output unit 546 without using the control circuit 530. In addition, the earthquake alarm device 550 may include an earthquake sensor that detects an earthquake shake. The earthquake sensor includes, for example, an acceleration sensor, and thereby senses the shaking of the acceleration sensor earthquake. The earthquake warning device 550 outputs a signal corresponding to the magnitude of shaking detected by the earthquake sensor to the control circuit 530. For example, the seismic sensor may output a signal when a shake having a seismic intensity of 4 or more is detected. In response to this, the control circuit 530 controls the display of the display unit 544 in order to display the shaking of the earthquake. Thus, the user can immediately confirm not only the emergency earthquake warning but also the magnitude of the actually generated earthquake.

  The CO2 detection device 560 is a device that detects the occurrence of a fire by detecting the concentration of carbon dioxide in the environment. When the CO2 detection device 560 detects that the carbon dioxide concentration in the environment is equal to or higher than the reference value, it interrupts the control circuit 530 by an interrupt signal. In response to this, the control circuit 530 controls the display of the display unit 544 and also controls the audio output unit 544 so as to output audio and alarm sound. Alternatively, the CO2 detection device 560 may directly control the indicator and the speaker without using the control circuit 530.

  The communication device 570 is a device for communication connection to a computer on a LAN or the Internet. The docking station 200 can perform network communication with an external computer via a communication device under the control of the control circuit 530. The communication device 570 is typically an Ethernet (registered trademark) board. In the present embodiment, the communication device is connected to a wired LAN, but is not limited to this, and may be compatible with a wireless LAN. The docking station 200 can receive, for example, an emergency earthquake warning via the communication device 570. Also,

  The IC tag reader 580 is a device that performs non-contact communication with the IC tag and reads information stored in the IC tag. The IC tag is attached to a predetermined article stored in the emergency bag 100. The IC tag stores, for example, solid identification information of an article and expiration date information of the article. The control circuit 530 periodically drives an IC tag reader, for example, reads predetermined information from an IC tag attached to an article in the emergency bag 100 placed on the docking station 200, and is obtained by a clock function. To check the expiration date of each item. When the control circuit 530 determines that there is an article that is approaching the expiration date, the control circuit 530 controls the display on the display unit 544 to notify the user of the replacement time. As a result, the user can know the replacement time of the article stored in the emergency bag 100, so that the article can be exchanged before the expiration date arrives and can always be kept available. become.

  The docking station 200 may transmit the read predetermined information to an external management computer via the communication device 570 under the control of the control circuit 530. For example, a maintenance company that manages and operates a management computer may identify an article to be exchanged based on the transmitted predetermined information and deliver it to the user. Thereby, the user can save the trouble of obtaining the articles stored in the emergency bag 100, and the contents of the emergency bag 100 can be always maintained.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the operation unit and the speaker of the flashlight and the radio receiver are functionally arranged in the emergency bag, the usability of the emergency bag is improved.

  In addition, the emergency bag is placed in a docking station during normal times and can be supplied with power from the docking station. You can avoid the situation of becoming.

  The present invention can be widely applied to emergency rucksacks or bags taken out in the event of an emergency such as the occurrence of a disaster, and can also be widely applied to disaster prevention devices including earthquake warning devices.
