Description

本発明は、経時的に周波数が変化するスイープ音フレーズを有する警報音の発信方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for transmitting an alarm sound having a sweep sound phrase whose frequency changes over time.

ガス漏れや火災などの災害の危険があるとき、警報器が発した警報に従って避難する人は少ない傾向がある。この一因としては、警報が発せられても、緊張感や危機感を持たない人が多いことが考えられる。そこで避難率向上のためには、警報器が、より多くの人が緊張感や危機感を直感的に感じることができる警報音を発することが望ましい。   When there is a danger of a disaster such as a gas leak or fire, few people evacuate according to the alarm issued by the alarm. One possible reason for this is that even if an alarm is issued, there are many people who do not feel nervous or in danger. Therefore, in order to improve the evacuation rate, it is desirable that the alarm device emits an alarm sound that allows more people to feel a sense of tension and a sense of crisis intuitively.

警報器が発信する警報音としては、例えばスイープ音を含むものが使用されている(特許文献1,2)。   As an alarm sound transmitted from the alarm device, for example, a sound including a sweep sound is used (Patent Documents 1 and 2).

スイープ音は経時的に周波数が変化する音であり、「騒音下で認識し易い」および「緊張感や危機感を伝える信号だと認知され易い」という、警報音として望ましい性質を備えている。   The sweep sound is a sound whose frequency changes over time, and has a desirable property as an alarm sound that “it is easy to recognize under noise” and “easy to be recognized as a signal that conveys a sense of tension or a sense of crisis”.

以下、本発明の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。
本発明の警報音の発信方法は、経時的に周波数が変化するスイープ音フレーズを有する警報音において、周波数の変化範囲が異なる複数のスイープ音フレーズを有し、これら複数のスイープ音フレーズを所定順に並べたセットを繰り返すように設定する。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The alarm sound transmission method of the present invention has a plurality of sweep sound phrases having different frequency change ranges in an alarm sound having a sweep sound phrase whose frequency changes over time, and the plurality of sweep sound phrases are in a predetermined order. Set to repeat the set.

スイープ音は、所定の周波数の範囲内で経時的に周波数が変化する音である。
例えば高齢者と若年者とでは耳が感知しやすい音の周波数帯域が異なっている。警報音は、できるだけ多くの人に認識できる音を発信する必要がある。本手段のスイープ音フレーズは、周波数の変化範囲が異なるフレーズを複数有するように構成してある。これにより、音調の異なるスイープ音を発信させることができる。
例えば図1では、周波数が1.0〜4.2KHzおよび3.8〜4.2KHzの範囲で変化する、最低周波数を異ならせた二種類のスイープ音フレーズを有するスイープ音のデューティーサイクルを示している。この場合、相対的に、3.8〜4.2KHzの範囲で変化するスイープ音フレーズは高音域のみの発信であるが、1.0〜4.2KHzの範囲で変化するスイープ音フレーズは低音域から高音域まで含んだ発信となる。
A sweep sound is a sound whose frequency changes over time within a predetermined frequency range.
For example, the frequency bands of sounds that are easily perceived by the ear are different between the elderly and the young. The alarm sound needs to be transmitted so that it can be recognized by as many people as possible. The sweep sound phrase of this means is configured to have a plurality of phrases having different frequency change ranges. As a result, sweep sounds having different tones can be transmitted.
For example, FIG. 1 shows the duty cycle of a sweep sound that has two types of sweep sound phrases with different minimum frequencies, with frequencies varying between 1.0 and 4.2 KHz and 3.8 to 4.2 KHz. Yes. In this case, the sweep sound phrase that changes relatively in the range of 3.8 to 4.2 KHz is transmitted only in the high range, but the sweep sound phrase that changes in the range of 1.0 to 4.2 KHz is the low range. To the high frequency range.

本手段のように、周波数の変化範囲が異なった音調の異なるスイープ音を複数有し、これらを繰り返すことで、注意を引き付け易くできる警報音を発信することができる。また、低音域から高音域まで含んだスイープ音フレーズを発信させることで、高齢者および若年者といった年齢層などにかかわらず、多数の人に認識し易いスイープ音を発信させることができる。   Like this means, a plurality of sweep sounds having different tones with different frequency change ranges are provided, and by repeating these, an alarm sound that can easily attract attention can be transmitted. In addition, by sending a sweep sound phrase including a low sound range to a high sound range, it is possible to transmit a sweep sound that can be easily recognized by a large number of people regardless of age groups such as elderly people and young people.

また、各スイープ音フレーズは、周波数の変化割合を一定にするのがよい。「周波数の変化割合を一定にする」とは、周波数を変化させる際に、周波数の変化範囲(最低周波数〜最高周波数)において一定の変化割合(傾き)を有するようにすることをいう。
このように各スイープ音フレーズの周波数の変化割合を一定にすることで、周波数の変化範囲において、低音域から高音域まで聞き取りやすくなり、より多数の人に認識し易いスイープ音を発信させることができる。
Each sweep sound phrase should have a constant frequency change rate. “Making the frequency change rate constant” means having a constant rate of change (gradient) in the frequency change range (lowest frequency to highest frequency) when changing the frequency.
In this way, by making the frequency change rate of each sweep sound phrase constant, in the frequency change range, it becomes easy to hear from the low range to the high range, and a sweep sound that is easy to recognize for a larger number of people can be transmitted. it can.

さらに、異なったスイープ音フレーズを、所定のオフ時間を挟んで設定するのがよい。これにより、緊張感を持たせたスイープ音を鳴動させることができるようになるため、警報音の認識程度がより向上する。本手段の場合、当該オフ時間の長さを変更してもよく、例えば、緊張感を増すために当該オフ時間の長さを短く設定してもよい。   Furthermore, it is preferable to set different sweep sound phrases with a predetermined off time. As a result, it becomes possible to sound a sweep sound with a sense of tension, and the degree of recognition of the alarm sound is further improved. In the case of this means, the length of the off time may be changed. For example, the length of the off time may be set short in order to increase a sense of tension.
