And a transmission means for transmitting a message according to the occurrence frequency to a predetermined destination.

In the present invention, the state set to the outing mode may be detected as the outing-on state when the home appliance is in use.

In the present invention, the determination means may detect the going-out ON state up to once every time the going-out mode is set.

In the present invention, the determining means determines the number of continuous detections of the going-out ON state or the number of detections within a predetermined period as the occurrence frequency, and the transmitting means determines that the occurrence frequency is equal to or higher than a preset setting frequency. Then, the message may be transmitted.

In the present invention, the transmitting means may be configured to transmit the message having different contents depending on the magnitude of the occurrence frequency.

In the present invention, the transmitting means transmits a message indicating the return of the resident to the destination when the going-out mode is set to the cancellation mode after transmitting the message according to the occurrence frequency. It may be configured.

In the present invention, the determination means is set to the outing mode when the usage state of the household electrical appliance is in use, and then the usage state of the household electrical appliance transits to non-use during the outing mode. In this case, it may be configured not to detect the going-out ON state.

In the present invention, the security mode further includes a home mode in which the resident is set at home in the residence and monitors the intrusion with a predetermined sensor of the plurality of sensors. The means may not detect the going-out ON state during the at-home mode, but may detect the going-out ON state during the going-out mode.

The communication network 2 includes the Internet, a fixed telephone network, a mobile communication network that provides communication services such as voice communication and data communication. A LAN (Local Area Network) 5 built in the house 3 and a center device 20 installed in the monitoring center 4 are connected to the communication network 2. Although the LAN 5 constructed in each of the plurality of dwellings 3 is connected to the communication network 2, only one dwelling 3 and one LAN 5 are shown in the figure in order to prevent the drawing from being complicated. There is.

The controller 10 is a device that notifies the center device 20 that an intruder has entered the house 3, is installed in the house 3, and is connected to the LAN 5. The controller 10 has three security modes for guarding the residence 3, and transmits mode information indicating the mode set by the operation of the resident J to the center device 20 via the LAN 5 and the communication network 2. .. The security mode will be described later. In addition, the controller 10 is connected to a plurality of sensors installed outside the house 3 and outdoors, and when an intruder into the house 3 is detected by a signal output from the sensor, the controller 10 determines that an abnormality has occurred. When the controller 10 determines that an abnormality has occurred, the controller 10 transmits an abnormality signal notifying the occurrence of an intrusion abnormality to the center device 20 via the LAN 5 and the communication network 2. The abnormal signal transmitted by the controller 10 includes an identification number for identifying the controller 10. The connection of the controller 10 to the LAN 5 is not limited to the wired connection, but may be a wireless connection. Further, the controller 10 may connect to the communication network 2 by wireless communication without using the LAN 5.

Further, the controller 10 acquires information from the home electric appliances installed in the house 3 via the LAN 5. In the present embodiment, the controller 10 acquires information from the television 30 which is an example of a home electric appliance. The controller 10 uses the household electric appliances by the resident J, such as the on/off state of the television 30, the channel being watched on the television 30, the program name being watched, the ambient brightness, the volume, etc. (here, watching the television 30. The status information indicating the usage status of the television 30 that can be displaced by the above) is acquired from the TV 30, and the acquired status information is transmitted to the center device 20. It should be noted that the electric home appliance connected to the controller 10 is not limited to the television 30, and may be another electric home appliance such as a lighting device, an air conditioner, a heater, a fan, or a radio. Further, the state information of the television 30 may be acquired from a remote controller that operates the television 30.

The television 30 is a television receiver installed in the house 3. The television 30 has a communication function and is connected to the LAN 5. The television 30 has a function of detecting and transmitting state information indicating the use state of the television 30, such as an on/off state, a channel being viewed, a program name being viewed, ambient brightness, and volume. Here, the off state of the television 30 includes a sleep state in which the television 30 can be turned on by a remote controller or a timer. Further, the area information set in the television 30 may be included in the status information. For example, the television 30 transmits the state information indicating the off state to the controller 10 when turned on from the on state, and transmits the state information indicating the on state to the controller 10 when turned on from the off state. When the channel is switched, the television 30 transmits status information indicating the switched channel and the program name broadcast on the switched channel to the controller 10, and when the volume is changed. Transmits the state information indicating the changed volume to the controller 10, and when the ambient brightness changes, transmits the state information indicating the changed brightness (for example, illuminance) to the controller 10.

The monitoring center 4 is a facility operated by a company that provides a crime prevention service for the residence 3. A center device 20 is installed in the monitoring center 4. The center device 20 communicates with the controller 10 via the communication network 2 and receives an abnormal signal and status information transmitted from the controller 10. When the center device 20 receives the abnormal signal, the center device 20 displays the information of the house 3 and the resident J who are the target of the crime prevention service, and prompts the controller to confirm the resident J and to deal with the security guard who rushes to the house 3. In addition, the center device 20 determines the condition of the resident J based on the information indicating the security mode and the state information, and sends a message according to the determination result to a predetermined destination, for example, a relative of the resident J (watching side).

(Structure of controller 10)
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the controller 10. The storage unit 102 has a non-volatile memory and stores various kinds of information such as the set security mode and the authentication code necessary for the security mode setting operation. The display unit 103 has a liquid crystal display and LEDs, and displays the set security mode, the states of the outdoor sensor 11 and the indoor sensor 12, the installation locations of the outdoor sensor 11 and the indoor sensor 12, and the like. The operation unit 104 has a button for operating the controller 10, a button for setting a security mode, and a read unit for reading an authentication code from an authentication medium such as an IC card carried by the resident J. At least a part of the operation unit 104 may be configured by a touch panel display common to the display unit 103. The communication unit 105 is a communication interface that receives status information of the television 30 via the LAN 5 and communicates with the center device 20 via the LAN 5 and the communication network 2. The ringing unit 106 has a speaker and emits a sound or a message informing of the occurrence of an abnormality, for example. The setting unit 13 is a device having a function corresponding to the operation unit 104 for setting the security mode at a place away from the controller 10 when going out or returning home, and is installed at the entrance of the house 3, for example.

The interface 107 is an interface to which a plurality of outdoor sensors 11 and a plurality of indoor sensors 12 that detect an intruder into the house 3 are connected. The connection between the interface 107 and the outdoor sensor 11 and the connection between the interface 107 and the indoor sensor 12 are not limited to being wired, but may be wireless.

The outdoor sensor 11 and the indoor sensor 12 are sensors that detect an intruder into the house 3. The outdoor sensor 11 is installed outdoors of the house 3, and the indoor sensor 12 is installed indoors of the house 3. The outdoor sensor 11 and the indoor sensor 12 are installed in a place where an intruder may intrude. A place where an intruder may intrude is, for example, a garden or a gate outside the house 3, an opening such as a front door or a window in the house 3, a flow line portion such as a passageway in the house 3 or a living room. is there. Sensors installed on entrance doors, windows, gates, etc. are sensors that detect the opening of the opening and closing bodies such as doors and windows. For example, a sensor that detects changes in the magnetic field to detect opening of the door, a tamper switch. Is a sensor that detects the opening of the door by turning on/off. A sensor installed in a passage or a living room is a sensor that detects the presence of a person based on a physical quantity input from a predetermined direction.For example, a sensor that detects the presence of a person due to fluctuations in heat rays, a person using ultrasonic waves or high frequencies. A sensor for detecting the presence of a person from the input image, a sensor for detecting the presence of a person by blocking the incident light from the light projecting unit, and the like. Each sensor outputs a detection signal when detecting the opening of the opening/closing body or the presence of a person. Note that the outdoor sensor 11 may not be used, and only the indoor sensor 12 may be used for intrusion monitoring.

The control unit 101 has a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The control unit 101 executes the program stored in the ROM. In the control unit 101 that executes the program, a setting unit 1001 that is an example of a setting unit that sets the security mode and an information transmission unit 1002 are realized. The control unit 101 that executes the program executes control of each connected unit and various processes.

When the operation to change the security mode is performed on the operation unit 104 or the setting unit 13, the setting unit 1001 changes the security mode according to the performed operation. In the present embodiment, the security mode includes a release mode, a home mode, and an outing mode. At least when switching from the out-of-home mode to the release mode requires operator authentication, and the setting unit 1001 collates the authentication code read from the authentication medium with the switching operation with the registration information in the storage unit 102, and when the collation matches. Set the release mode to.

The release mode is a mode set when the resident J is in the residence 3 and is set, for example, when it is not necessary to monitor an intruder. The release mode is an example of the manned mode. When the resident J sets the security mode to the release mode, the control unit 101 does not monitor an intruder in the house 3 and the center device 20 is abnormal even if the outdoor sensor 11 or the indoor sensor 12 outputs a detection signal. Do not send a signal.

The at-home mode is a mode set when the resident J is in the residence 3, and is set, for example, when the resident J goes to bed. The home mode is an example of the manned mode. When the resident J sets the security mode to the home mode, the control unit 101 detects a part of a predetermined number such as an entrance door, a window, a gate, and the outside of the house 3 in order to detect an intrusion into the house 3 from the outside. The monitoring area (outer peripheral area) is monitored, and when the outdoor sensor 11 or the indoor sensor 12 installed in the outer peripheral area outputs a detection signal, an abnormal signal is transmitted to the center device 20. In the at-home mode, intrusion monitoring is not performed by the indoor sensor 12 installed in a flow line portion such as a passage in the house 3 or an internal area such as a living room, and the detection signal is ignored. The control unit 101 does not transmit the abnormality signal to the center device 20 when the sensor other than the outer peripheral area outputs the detection signal. In addition, the monitoring area is divided into a plurality of areas in advance, and in the home mode, the area specified by the resident J through the operation unit 104 is targeted for monitoring, and the corresponding outdoor sensor 11 and indoor sensor 12 output detection signals. In some cases, the abnormal signal may be transmitted.

The outing mode is a mode set when the resident J goes out and the house 3 is unattended. The control unit 101 monitors all the monitoring areas including the inner area and the outer peripheral area, and when any of the outdoor sensor 11 and the indoor sensor 12 outputs a detection signal, transmits an abnormality signal to the center device 20. In addition, in the case of being set in the outing mode, the sensor for monitoring the exit route of the resident J starts detecting the intruder after a predetermined time elapses from the setting in the outing mode, and the resident going out. It is preferable not to erroneously detect J as an intruder.

The information transmission unit 1002 transmits mode information indicating the changed security mode to the center device 20. In addition, when the information transmitting unit 1002 receives the state information transmitted by the television 30, the information transmitting unit 1002 transmits the received state information to the center device 20. The mode information and the status information transmitted by the information transmitting unit 1002 include an identification number for identifying the controller 10.

(Configuration of center device 20)
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the center device 20. The communication unit 205 is a communication interface that performs communication via the communication network 2. The communication unit 205 receives the abnormal signal, mode information, and status information transmitted from the controller 10.

The storage unit 202 has a hard disk device, and stores operating system programs and application programs. In addition, the storage unit 202 stores the mode information and the state information received by the communication unit 205 as a history for each residence 3 to be monitored. In addition, the storage unit 202 stores the history of abnormal signals in the past, the address of the residence 3, the identification number of the controller 10, the name and telephone number of the resident J, and the email of the resident J's relatives as information about the resident J who receives the crime prevention service. Information of a notification destination of a message such as an address and a telephone number is linked and stored.

The control unit 201 has a CPU and a RAM. The control unit 201 executes the program stored in the storage unit 202. The control unit 201 that executes the program executes control of each connected unit and various processes. Further, the control unit 201 that executes the program is an example of an acquisition unit 2001 that is an example of an acquisition unit according to the present invention, a determination unit 2002 that is an example of a determination unit according to the present invention, and an example of a transmission unit according to the present invention. The transmitter 2003 is realized.

The acquisition unit 2001 acquires an abnormal signal, mode information, and state information received by the communication unit 205. The acquisition unit 2001 associates the acquired mode information with the acquisition date and time of the mode information and stores them in the storage unit 202 as a history, and associates the acquired state information with the acquisition date and time of the state information in the storage unit 202 as a history. Remember. In addition, the acquisition unit 2001 stores the acquired abnormal signal in the storage unit 202 as a history by associating the acquired abnormal signal with the acquisition date and time of the abnormal signal. The determination unit 2002 determines, based on the history of the mode information and the history of the state information stored in the storage unit 202, whether the resident J is in a state of having anxiety about health, risk, or the like. The transmission unit 2003 transmits a message corresponding to the determination result of the determination unit 2002 to the e-mail of the relative of the resident J as a destination.

(Operation example of the embodiment)
Next, in the present embodiment, an operation example when determining the state of the resident J will be described. When the resident J changes the security mode, the control unit 101 transmits the mode information to the center device 20. The control unit 201 (acquisition unit 2001) acquires the mode information received by the communication unit 205, and stores the security mode indicated by the acquired mode information and the reception date and time of the mode information in the storage unit 202 as a history. When the resident J operates the television 30 to change the use state, the control unit 101 acquires state information indicating the changed use state of the television 30, and transmits the acquired state information to the center device 20. In the following description of the present embodiment, an example in which the power on/off state of the television 30 is set as the usage state of the television 30 will be described, but the method of identifying the usage state is not limited to this. For example, the presence/absence of an operation on the television 30 using a remote controller or the like, the presence/absence of an operation of changing a viewing channel, and the like may be used. The control unit 201 (acquisition unit 2001) acquires the state information received by the communication unit 205, and the storage unit 202 stores the ON/OFF state of the television 30 indicated by the acquired state information and the date and time when the state information is received as a history. Memorize. The control unit 201 changes the security mode from the security mode stored as a history in the storage unit 202 and the ON/OFF state of the television 30 stored as a history in the storage unit 202 as illustrated in FIG. A history and a history of on/off transitions of the television 30 are generated.

FIG. 4A is an example of the history when the resident J goes out, and is an example of the history when the television 30 is turned off before going out and the security mode is set to the outing mode when going out. It is the figure which showed. The control unit 201 (determination unit 2002) refers to the history of the transition of the security mode and the history of the transition of the on/off state of the television 30, and determines the state of the resident J.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing for determining the health condition of the resident J as a condition. The process of FIG. 5 is executed, for example, once a day at a predetermined time. First, the control unit 201 refers to the history of the transition of the security mode and the history of the on/off transition of the television 30 from the day when the process of FIG. Count (step SA1).

If there is no day that has been set in the outing mode within one week before (YES in step SA2), the control unit 201 shifts the process flow to step SA5, and the outing mode is set within one week before. If there is another day (NO in step SA2), the flow of processing moves to step SA3. The process of step SA5 will be described later.

In step SA3, control unit 201 determines whether the home electric appliance (TV 30) is in the off state during the outing mode on each day when the outing mode is set up to one week ago (step SA3). ). The control unit 201 executes the process illustrated in FIG. 6 when there is a day when the home electric appliance is in the on-state during the outing mode in any of the days set to the outing mode (NO in step SA3). .. The process of FIG. 6 will be described later.

In each of the days when the outing mode is set, the control unit 201 sets the outing mode up to one week before when the home electric appliance is in the off state during the outing mode (YES in step SA3). Determine the number of days. When the number of days set in the outing mode is two days or less (YES in step SA4), the control unit 201 determines that the resident J is out of the house, and therefore, the degree of health is insufficient due to lack of exercise and is disturbed. A message for notifying that the health condition of the resident J is disturbing is generated (step SA5). The message generated in step SA5 may include a content that informs the user that he/she is in a health condition in which he/she does not move a little and moves his/her body less, and prompts confirmation of lack of exercise. In addition, since there is a possibility that Resident J has forgotten to set to the outing mode even though he/she is actually out, the message includes a message that the operation frequency in the security mode is infrequent and that the outing mode is used. It may be included.

When the day set to the outing mode is 3 days or 4 days (YES in step SA6), the control unit 201 determines that the resident J is often out, and therefore the degree of health is calm. , Generates a message notifying that the health condition of the resident J is calm (step SA7). The message generated in step SA7 may include a content that informs that the person is in a healthy state in which he or she is moving out and is exercising appropriately.

When the number of days set to the outing mode is 5 days or more (NO in step SA6), the control unit 201 determines that the resident J is frequently out, and therefore the health level is good. A message is generated to notify that the resident J is in good health (step SA8). Note that the message generated in step SA8 may include content that informs that he/she is in a healthy state in which he frequently goes out and exercises well.

When the control unit 201 generates a message in step SA5, step SA7, or step SA8, it identifies the identification number included in the mode information related to the referred history, and the resident J associated with the identified identification number of the controller 10 The e-mail address of the relative is acquired from the storage unit 202 as the destination of the message (step SA9). Next, the control unit 201 (transmission unit 2003) transmits the generated message to the acquired email address as a destination (step SA10). In addition to the message notification to the watching relatives, the message may be sent to the resident J on the watching side by displaying the message on the television 30 or the like. At this time, the message to the resident J may be different in expression and content to be transmitted from the message for the relatives.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, whether or not the resident J is out is surely grasped from the security mode, and the health condition of the resident J is determined from the security mode and the usage state of the home electric appliances to notify the relatives. You can Note that in the present embodiment, the time during which the television 30 is on within the range of the referred history is counted, and the counted time may be included in the message generated in step SA5, step SA7, and step SA8. Good.

Next, in the process of FIG. 5, an operation example when it is determined to be NO in step SA3, that is, when there is a day when the television 30 is in the on state while going out in the referred history will be described.

FIG. 4B is an example of a history when the resident J goes out, and is a diagram showing an example of a history when the going-out mode is set while the television 30 is turned on. Further, FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing after it is determined to be NO in step SA3.

The control unit 201 refers to the history from the time point when the process of FIG. 6 is executed to one week ago, and the time zone of the outing mode and the time zone of the ON state of the television 30 overlap, that is, in the outing mode. Then, the number of days in which the television 30 is in the on state and the outing state is on is counted (step SB1). It should be noted that the determination of the on-the-go state is not limited to the above, and may be performed by switching the out-going mode when the television 30 is on. Next, the control unit 201 determines whether or not the electric home appliance (TV 30) is in the ON state for three days or more during the outing mode (step SB2). When the number of days in which the home electric appliance is in the on state during the outing mode is not 3 days or more (NO in step SB2), the control unit 201 forgets to turn off the home electric appliance when the resident J goes out as a degree of health. A message for notifying that is generated (step SB3).

When the day when the television 30 is in the on state during the outing mode is three days or more (YES in step SB2), the control unit 201 has the three days when the home electric appliance is in the on state during the outing mode. It is determined whether the above has continued (step SB4). When the number of days in which the household electric appliance is in the on state during the outing mode has not continued for 3 days or more (NO in step SB4), the control unit 201 forgets to turn off the household electric appliance when the resident J goes out as the degree of health. A message is generated to notify that there are many (step SB6).

When the household appliance has been in the on state for three days or more in the outing mode (YES in step SB4), the control unit 201 forgets to turn off the household appliance when the resident J goes out as the degree of health. A message is generated to notify that there is a possibility that it has not been recognized (step SB5). Note that the message generated in step SB5 may include content prompting confirmation of forgetfulness.

When the control unit 201 generates a message in step SB3, step SB5, or step SB6, the control unit 201 identifies the identification number included in the mode information related to the referred history, and the resident J associated with the identified identification number of the controller 10 is identified. The e-mail address of the relative is acquired from the storage unit 202 as the destination of the message (step SB7). Next, the control unit 201 (transmission unit 2003) transmits the generated message with the acquired e-mail address as the destination (step SB8). Note that the message generated in step SB3, step SB5 or step SB6 is different from the message generated in step SA5, step SA7 and step SA8 of FIG. Is preferred.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, whether or not the resident J is out is surely grasped from the security mode, and from the security mode and the usage state of the household electric appliances, the state of forgetting as an example of the health condition of the resident J. Can be determined and passed on to relatives. Judgment is made at three levels over a certain number of days (consecutive), but it may be judged using any one or more criteria, and the frequency of forgetting to turn off home electric appliances is judged according to other criteria. Alternatively, the message may be notified when the frequency is high.

Next, an operation example when the household electric appliance is not operated while the resident J is at home will be described. FIG. 4C is a diagram showing an example of a history when the home mode is continued and the television 30 is continuously turned off. Further, FIG. 4D is a diagram showing an example of a history when the release mode is continued and the television 30 is kept in the off state. Further, FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing for determining the state of the resident J who is at home.

The control unit 201 executes the process of FIG. 7 at a predetermined cycle, refers to the security mode in the history, and determines whether the currently set security mode is the home mode or the release mode (step SC1). When the security mode is the outing mode, the resident J has a high probability of going out, and when the security mode is the at-home mode or the release mode, the resident J has a high probability of being at home. That is, here, the control unit 201 determines the probability that the resident J is at home. When the referred guard mode is the outing mode (NO in step SC1), the control unit 201 ends the process of FIG.

When the currently set security mode is the home mode or the release mode (YES in step SC1), the control unit 201 determines whether the security mode is the home mode (step SC2). When the security mode is the home mode (YES in step SC2), the control unit 201 determines whether or not the home mode is continued for a predetermined time T1, for example, 24 hours before in the referred history (step SC3). When the history is (c) in FIG. 4, the control unit 201 determines YES in step SC2, and when the history is (d) in FIG. 4, the control unit 201 determines NO in step SC2.

When the home mode has not continued for 24 hours before in the referred history (NO in step SC3), the control unit 201 ends the processing in FIG. When the home mode has continued for 24 hours before in the referenced history (YES in step SC3), the control unit 201 continues to turn off the home electric appliance for a predetermined time T2, for example, 24 hours in the referenced history. It is determined whether or not (step SC4). The predetermined time T2 may be different from the predetermined time T1.

Note that the message generated in step SC5 may include a content informing that there is a possibility of poor physical condition and a content inquiring a relative of the resident J to dispatch a guard to the residence 3.

When the currently set security mode is the release mode in the history referred to (NO in step SC2), the control unit 201 determines whether the release mode continues for a predetermined time T3, for example, 48 hours ago (step). SC6). When the release mode has not continued for 48 hours before in the referred history (NO in step SC6), the control unit 201 ends the processing in FIG. When the release mode continues for 48 hours before in the referred history (YES in step SC6), the control unit 201 continues to turn off the home electric appliance for a predetermined time T4, for example, 48 hours before in the referred history. It is determined whether or not (step SC7). The predetermined time T4 may be a time different from the predetermined time T3. When the home electric appliance has not been in the off state for 48 hours before in the referred history (NO in step SC7), the control unit 201 ends the processing in FIG. The control unit 201 generates a message notifying that the operation of the home electric appliance has not been performed for 48 hours when the home electric appliance has been in the off state for 48 hours before in the referred history (YES in step SC7). (Step SC8). The message generated in step SC8 may include a content for inquiring the relatives of the resident J whether the resident J is out for a long time as confirmation of being at home.

When the control unit 201 generates the message in step SC5 or step SC8,
The identification number included in the mode information related to the referred history is specified, and the e-mail address of the relative of the resident J associated with the specified identification number of the controller 10 is acquired from the storage unit 202 as a message destination (step). SC9). Next, the control unit 201 (transmission unit 2003) transmits the generated message with the acquired e-mail address as the destination (step SC10). Note that not only the message notification to the relatives on the watching side but also the message may be notified to the resident J on the watching side by displaying the message on the television 30 or the like. At this time, the message to the resident J may be different in expression and content to be transmitted from the message for the relatives.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the fact that the resident J is at home is grasped from the security mode, and the state of the resident J who is not operating the television 30 from the security mode and the on/off state of the home electric appliances. It is possible to convey to the relatives that the resident is disturbed without making the resident J feel the psychological burden of being monitored. Further, according to the present embodiment, not only the notification of abnormality but also the sign of physical change such as forgetfulness can be transmitted to relatives. Note that both the home mode and the release mode are manned modes that are set while the user is at home, but in the home mode in which the outer peripheral area is in the monitoring state, the probability that the resident J is at home is very high. In the release mode in which the residence 3 can be moved in and out, the probability that the resident J is at home is lower than in the home mode. That is, the at-home mode has a higher probability of staying at home, and the release mode has a lower probability of staying at home than the at-home mode (note that the going-out mode has a higher probability of going out). Therefore, as in the present embodiment, the predetermined time T3 and T4 used for the determination in the release mode is set to be long compared to the predetermined time T1 and T2 used for the determination in the home mode, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the home The state of the resident J can be determined according to Similarly, by making the contents of the message notified to the relatives different between the at-home mode and the release mode, it is possible to inform the relatives of the condition of the resident J according to the probability of being at home.
