Description

  Embodiments described herein relate generally to an alarm slave station, an alarm base station, and an alarm control method.

  Conventionally, in an alarm notification system that notifies an alarm such as a municipal disaster prevention administrative radio, information transmission that transmits information such as disaster prevention information all at once from a base station installed in a municipality to a plurality of slave stations via radio I do. Based on the information transmitted from the base station, the slave station notifies information such as an alarm to a person using a notification means such as a speaker or a display device.

  The information transmitted from the base station in the information notification system may include various types of information with different urgency. For example, the information to be transmitted includes highly urgent information such as earthquake information, tsunami information, volcano information or emergency related information, while low urgent information such as caution information about heat stroke and caution information about food poisoning In some cases, non-urgent information such as notices from municipalities may be included.

  Moreover, in the information notification system, the person who is notified of information differs depending on the environment where the slave station is installed. For example, in a slave station installed at a coast or a port facility, information is widely reported to people outside the building such as the coast. In a slave station installed in a public facility or the like, information is notified to people in the facility. In addition, the slave station installed in the door-to-door residence reports information to a person in the house.

  However, in the conventional information notification system, there is a case where information corresponding to the environment of the slave station where the information is notified cannot be notified. For example, a warning about heat stroke is useful information in an outdoor environment or an indoor environment without air conditioning, but becomes unnecessary information in an indoor environment where air conditioning is effective, and cannot report information corresponding to the environment of the slave station. There was a case.

  Hereinafter, an alarm slave station, an alarm base station, and an alarm control method according to an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description of the drawings, the same components may be given the same reference numerals and description thereof may be omitted.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a system configuration of an alarm system 1 according to the embodiment. In FIG. 1, the alarm system 1 has a base station 12 and slave stations 14 (14a to 14d). The base station 12 receives the alarm distribution from the alarm distribution station 11. The alarm distribution station 11 distributes highly urgent information such as earthquake information, tsunami information, volcano information, or emergency related information. The alarm distribution station 11 is, for example, a J-ALERT distribution station that distributes emergency information (J-ALERT) from the fire department through a communication satellite or the like.

  The base station 12 transmits information such as an alarm to the relay station 13, the slave station 14a, and the slave station 14b when information is acquired from the alarm distribution station 11 or when a predetermined transmission condition is met. Information such as an alarm transmitted by the base station 12 is hereinafter referred to as an “alarm or the like”. The alarm system 1 shown in FIG. 1 exemplifies a case where the base station 12 is one station, the slave stations 14 that directly acquire alarms and the like are two stations, and the slave stations that acquire alarms and the like via a relay station are two stations. .

  When the base station 12 acquires highly urgent information distributed from the alarm distribution station 11, the base station 12 immediately transmits an alarm or the like. On the other hand, if the base station 12 does not acquire highly urgent information from the alarm distribution station 11, the base station 12 determines whether or not a predetermined transmission condition is satisfied, and transmits an alarm or the like when the predetermined transmission condition is satisfied. . The predetermined transmission condition is determined, for example, based on whether or not weather conditions such as temperature and humidity in the area where the base station 12 is installed are within a predetermined range. The base station 12 transmits alarms such as caution information regarding heat stroke and caution information regarding food poisoning according to weather conditions such as high and low temperatures and humidity. Further, the predetermined transmission condition may be determined based on whether or not the predetermined time is reached, and the base station 12 may transmit information such as a notification from the municipality as an alarm or the like when the predetermined time is reached. For example, the base station 12 transmits an alarm or the like at a fixed time such as 10:00 am or noon.

  The relay station 13 relays an alarm or the like transmitted from the base station 12 to the slave station 14c and the slave station 14d. The relay station 13 relays the base station 12 and the slave station 14 when the base station 12 and the slave station 14 cannot communicate directly. In the alarm system 1 illustrated in FIG. 1, the slave station 14 a and the slave station 14 b communicate directly with the base station 12 to obtain an alarm or the like, while the slave station 14 c and the slave station 14 d receive an alarm via the relay station 13. Etc. In FIG. 1, the base station 12, the slave station 14 c, and the slave station 14 d show a case where communication is performed via one-stage relay of the relay station 13, but the alarm system 1 is, for example, the base station 12 and the slave station 14. A plurality of relay stations 13 may be interposed between them.

  The slave station 14 (14a to 14d) acquires an alarm or the like transmitted from the base station 12, and notifies a person in the range of the slave station 14 of an evacuation command based on the alarm or the like and a warning regarding weather. Details of the slave station 14 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The alarm system 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a base station 12 for one station, a slave station 14 for directly acquiring alarms, etc., a relay station 13 for one station, and a relay station 13 for acquiring alarms and the like via the relay station 13. Although the case where the number of the stations 14 is two is illustrated, the number of base stations 12, the relay stations 13, and the slave stations 14 and the communication path are arbitrary. Further, the alarm system 1 may be configured not to include the alarm distribution station 11 or the relay station 13.

  The alarm system 1 includes communication between the alarm distribution station 11 and the base station 12, communication between the base station 12 and the relay station 13, communication between the base station 12 and the slave station 14, and relay station 13 and the slave station. Wireless communication is used in communication between the stations 14. However, the communication in the alarm system 1 is not limited to the case where wireless communication is used. For example, one or more of the above communications may use wired communications. Also, any one or more of the above communications may use multiplexed communications multiplexed by a plurality of wireless or wired lines.

  Next, details of the slave stations 14 (14a to 14d) described in FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating types of slave stations in the alarm system 1 according to the embodiment. In FIG. 2, the slave stations are classified according to items of “attribute”, “broadcasting facility”, “display facility”, and “measurement facility”.

  The “attribute” is an item classified by a notification target for which the slave station 14 notifies the notification content. In FIG. 2, as the “attribute”, three types of classifications are illustrated: outdoor slave station, indoor slave station, and door-to-door receiver. The outdoor slave station is a slave station that notifies the notification contents such as an evacuation instruction for a person who is outdoors such as a coast, a river, or a harbor. The indoor slave station is a slave station that notifies notification contents such as an evacuation instruction for a person who is indoors such as a meeting facility or a gymnasium. The door-to-door receiver is a slave station that notifies a person who is in a house in a door-to-door notification contents such as an evacuation instruction.

For example, siren A is a pattern in which sirens are intermittent at short intervals, siren B is a pattern in which sirens are intermittent at long intervals, and siren C is a pattern in which sirens are continuous.

  Audio A to audio C are notification data having different audio notification contents output from the broadcast facility 146. The content of the voice notification is arbitrary. For example, the voice A is a voice pattern of “Please be wary of heat stroke. Please supply water frequently and stop exercise”. The voice B may be a voice pattern of “Be careful about heat stroke. Replenish water and refrain from intense exercise.” In addition, the voice C may be a voice pattern of “humidity is high”.

  Display A to display C are notification data having different notification contents by characters displayed on the display equipment 147 shown in FIG. The character to be notified is arbitrary. For example, the display A is “A heat stroke warning is being issued!”. Further, the display B may be “A heat stroke warning is being issued!”. The display C is “Precipitation probability at 12:00 to 15: 00 = 50%”.

  The notification control unit 1402 shown in FIG. 5 selects the notification data of the notification content stored in the notification data storage unit 1404 based on the temperature / humidity data measured in the measurement facility shown in FIG.

  Next, the correspondence between the measurement data selected by the notification control unit 1402 and the notification data will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a correspondence between measurement data and notification data according to the embodiment.

  FIGS. 7A and 7B illustrate a correspondence table between measurement data and notification data selected by the notification control unit 1402. FIG. 7A is a first correspondence table between the measurement data selected by the notification control unit 1402 and the notification data. FIG. 7B is a second correspondence table between the measurement data selected by the notification control unit 1402 and the notification data.

  In FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B, items of “temperature” and “humidity” indicate ranges of measurement data measured by a thermometer and a hygrometer exemplified as the measurement facility 148. “Temperature” is classified into “high” that is equal to or higher than the threshold and “low” that is lower than the threshold according to a preset threshold. “Humidity” is also classified into “high” that is equal to or higher than the threshold and “low” that is lower than the threshold, according to a preset threshold. The items “Siren”, “Voice”, and “Display” are combinations of the notification data described with reference to FIG. 6 selected by a combination of the items “Temperature” and “Humidity”. In the items of “Siren”, “Voice”, and “Display”, the item of “−” indicates an item for which notification content is not output (no output) from the broadcast facility 146 or the display facility 147 shown in FIG. ing.

  In FIG. 7A, when the combination of “temperature” and “humidity” is “high” and “high”, “siren”, “voice” and “display” are “A”, “A” and “A”. "Is selected. In other words, when the temperature and humidity are high, the broadcasting equipment 146 outputs a siren with a pattern of intermittent sirens in a short interval, and then “Beware of heat stroke. Please output "and the display equipment 147 displays" heat stroke warning is being issued! " Similarly, when the combination of “temperature” and “humidity” is “high” and “low”, “siren”, “voice” and “display” are combinations of “B”, “B” and “B”. Selected. In addition, when the combination of “temperature” and “humidity” is “low” and “high”, the combination of “C”, “C” and “C” is selected for “siren”, “sound” and “display” Is done. Furthermore, when the combination of “temperature” and “humidity” is “low” and “low”, “siren”, “sound”, and “display” are “− (no output)”.

  In FIG. 7B, when the combination of “temperature” and “humidity” is “high” and “high”, “siren”, “sound” and “display” are “− (no output)”, “X ”And“ A ”are selected. Here, “X” in the “voice” item indicates notification contents for broadcasting the contents of alarms and the like transmitted from the base station 12 as they are. For example, when the voice data “heat stroke warning has been issued” is transmitted from the base station 12, the notification control unit 1402 outputs the transmitted voice data as it is from the broadcast facility 146. In FIG. 7B, when the combination of “temperature” and “humidity” is “high” and “high”, “display” is displayed as “A” stored in the notification data storage unit. However, with regard to “display”, the content of an alarm or the like transmitted from the base station 12 may be displayed as it is. Similarly, when the combination of “temperature” and “humidity” is “high” and “low”, “siren”, “voice” and “display” are “− (no output)” and “− (no output)”. ”And“ B ”are selected. In FIG. 7B, the “Siren” is not output. In addition, when the combination of “temperature” and “humidity” is “low” and “high” or “low” and “low”, there is no notification by “siren”, “voice” and “display”. .

  Next, the setting operation of the slave station 14 based on the operation information set and transmitted by the base station 12 will be described. FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram illustrating a slave station setting operation according to the embodiment.

  In FIG. 8, the base station 12 sets operation information. The operation information is set by the operation setting unit 1203 shown in FIG. The operation setting unit 1203 sets operation information indicating whether or not temperature / humidity measurement using the measurement equipment 148 is enabled in the notification operation of the slave station 14. Further, the operation setting unit 1203 sets operation information as to whether or not automatic measurement is to be enabled for the slave station 14 having measurement equipment.

  Next, the base station 12 transmits operation information to the slave station 14. The operation information is transmitted by the operation information transmission unit 1204 shown in FIG. The slave station 14 acquires the operation information transmitted from the base station 12.

  The slave station 14 performs measurement setting based on the acquired operation information and performs automatic measurement setting. The measurement setting is performed in the measurement setting unit 1405 shown in FIG. The measurement setting unit 1405 sets whether to enable temperature / humidity measurement using the measurement equipment 148 in the notification operation of the slave station 14 based on the acquired operation information. Further, the automatic measurement setting unit 1406 sets whether or not to enable automatic measurement of temperature and humidity using the measurement equipment 148 in the notification operation of the slave station 14 based on the acquired operation information.

  The setting operation described in FIG. 8 can be performed at an arbitrary timing. For example, the base station 12 may set and transmit operation information at a predetermined time such as every hour. Further, the base station 12 may set and transmit operation information by an operator's operation. Further, the base station 12 may transmit the operation information before transmitting the alarm or the like together with the alarm or the like when transmitting the alarm or the like.

  Next, a transmission operation such as an alarm in the base station 12 will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating the alarm transmission operation of the base station according to the embodiment. The alarm transmission operation shown in FIG. 9 will be described for a case where an alarm or the like is transmitted to the slave station 14 at a fixed time. The alarm transmission operation shown in FIG. 9 is executed by the control unit 121 shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 9, the control unit 121 of the base station 12 determines whether or not a transmission time for transmitting an alarm or the like has come (step S11). When it is determined that the transmission time has not come (step S11: NO), the control unit 121 ends the operation of the flowchart shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the transmission time has come (step S11: YES), the control unit 121 determines whether there is an alarm to be transmitted or the like (step S12). The presence / absence of an alarm or the like is determined, for example, by whether or not alarm transmission is necessary in weather conditions or the like, or whether or not a transmission operation such as an alarm has been performed by an operator of the base station 12. When determining that there is no alarm or the like to be transmitted (step S12: NO), the control unit 121 ends the operation of the flowchart illustrated in FIG.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there is an alarm or the like to be transmitted (step S12: YES), the control unit 121 transmits the alarm or the like all at once to the slave station 14 (step S13). After executing the process of step S13, the control unit 121 ends the operation of the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The alarm transmission operation illustrated in FIG. 9 illustrates the case where an alarm or the like is transmitted at a fixed time. However, when the alarm is distributed from the alarm distribution station 11 illustrated in FIG. An alarm may be transmitted immediately when there is a transmission operation such as an alarm by the operator.

[First notification operation in slave station]
Next, the first notification operation in the slave station 14 will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating a first notification operation of the slave station according to the embodiment. The first notification operation shown in FIG. 10 is executed by the control unit 141 shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 10, the control unit 141 determines whether an alarm or the like has been received from the base station 12 (step S21). Whether or not an alarm or the like has been received can be determined by whether or not the alarm acquisition unit 1401 has acquired an alarm or the like from the base station 12 and the notification control unit 1402 has received it from the alarm acquisition unit 1401. If it is determined that an alarm or the like has not been received (step S21: NO), the control unit 141 repeats the process of step S21.

  On the other hand, when determining that an alarm or the like has been received (step S21: YES), the control unit 141 determines whether or not the measurement is valid (step S22). Whether or not the measurement is valid is set by the measurement setting unit 1405 based on the operation information in the measurement setting described with reference to FIG. When it is determined that the measurement is not valid (step S22: NO), the control unit 141 notifies the alarm content transmitted from the base station 12 as it is (step S27), and ends the flowchart of FIG.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the measurement is valid (step S22: YES), the control unit 141 determines whether the received alarm or the like is an alarm relating to temperature and humidity (step S23). Whether or not the received alarm or the like is an alarm related to temperature and humidity can be determined by, for example, a flag indicating the type of alarm or the like included in the alarm or the like. Further, when the time at which the alarm related to the temperature and humidity is transmitted is a predetermined time, it can be determined whether the alarm or the like is an alarm related to the temperature and humidity based on the time when the alarm is received. When it is determined that the received alarm or the like is not an alarm related to temperature and humidity (step S23: NO), the control unit 141 notifies the alarm content transmitted from the base station 12 as it is (step S27), and FIG. The flowchart ends. When the received alarm or the like is not an alarm related to temperature and humidity, the content of the alarm other than the alarm related to the temperature and humidity such as notification from the municipality can be notified by notifying the alarm content as it is.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the received alarm or the like is an alarm relating to temperature and humidity (step S23: YES), the control unit 141 measures temperature and humidity (step S24). The temperature / humidity is measured by the measurement unit 1403 using the thermometer and hygrometer of the measurement equipment 148. After performing the process of step S24, the control part 141 selects alerting | reporting data from the measured temperature / humidity data (step S25). The control unit 141 selects notification data based on the correspondence table between measurement data and notification data described with reference to FIG. After executing the process of step S25, the control unit 141 outputs the selected notification data. The notification data is output by the notification control unit 1402 outputting the notification content of the selected notification data to the broadcast facility 146 and the display facility 147. After executing the process of step S26, the control unit 141 ends the flowchart of FIG.

[Second notification operation in slave station]
Next, the second notification operation in the slave station 14 will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a second notification operation of the slave station according to the embodiment. The second notification operation shown in FIG. 11 is executed by the control unit 141 shown in FIG. In the flowchart showing the second notification operation in FIG. 11, the same operations as those in the flowchart showing the first notification operation in FIG.

  In FIG. 11, the control unit 141 determines whether an alarm or the like has been received from the base station 12 (step S21). When it is determined that an alarm or the like has not been received (step S21: NO), the control unit 141 determines whether automatic measurement is valid (step S30). Whether or not the automatic measurement is valid is set by the automatic measurement setting unit 1406 based on the operation information in the automatic measurement setting described with reference to FIG. When it is determined that the automatic measurement is not effective (step S30: NO), the control unit 141 ends the flowchart of FIG.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that automatic measurement is effective (step S30: YES), the control unit 141 determines whether or not it is a preset time (step S31). The time can be set at an arbitrary time for each slave station. When determining that it is not the preset time (step S31: NO), the control unit 141 ends the flowchart of FIG.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that it is a preset time (step S31: YES), the control unit 141 executes the process of step S24. That is, in the second notification operation in the slave station, when automatic measurement is effective, the slave station 14 independently measures the temperature and humidity even when there is no transmission of an alarm or the like from the base station 12. (Step S24), the notification data is selected (step S25), and the selected notification data is output (step S26). By the second notification operation in the slave station, for example, an alarm related to heat stroke can be notified in an environment that can be higher than the outside air temperature.

  In FIG. 11, the second notification operation in the slave station has been described in the case where the operation of Step S24 to Step S26 is common in the case where the alarm is received and the case where the automatic measurement is effective. You may make it not make the operation | movement of step S24-step S26 common in the case where it receives and the case where automatic measurement is effective. For example, the correspondence table of the measurement data and the notification data may be different between the case where the alarm is received and the case where the automatic measurement is valid, and the notification content of the selected notification data may be different.

  According to at least one embodiment described above, the alarm slave station includes an alarm acquisition unit, a notification unit, a measurement unit, a measurement setting unit, and a notification control unit, so that information is notified. Alarms corresponding to the station environment can be notified.
