As described in Patent Document 1, the conventional monitoring service requires a dedicated data collection device such as a communication unit in addition to the television receiver. If a television receiver is provided with a function equivalent to that of a communication unit, a special television receiver having such a function must be provided.

This specification discloses a technique in which a monitoring system using a television receiver can obtain the home status of a monitored person even with a general television receiver.

A monitoring system made for the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problems is a monitoring system including a TV receiver, a server, and a communication terminal, in which the TV receiver, the communication terminal, and the server are connected to a network. When the television receiver receives a program reception process for receiving a monitoring program via a broadcast wave of a data broadcast and a request for pairing with the communication terminal while receiving the monitoring program, the television receiver The monitoring program transmits a pairing instruction including the first identification information that identifies the television receiver to the server, then receives a code image transmitted from the server, and receives the received code image on the television. A pairing process on the TV side to be displayed on the screen of the machine, and a viewing information transmission process for periodically transmitting viewing information including the first identification information to the server by the monitoring program while receiving the monitoring program. When the server receives the pairing instruction from the television receiver, the server forms and creates the code image associated with the first identification information included in the pairing instruction. When the server-side pairing preprocessing for transmitting an image to the television receiver and the registration instruction including the first identification information and the second identification information for identifying the communication terminal are received from the communication terminal, the first identification information is received. The server-side pairing post-processing for registering the identification information and the second identification information in association with each other, and the viewing information storage process for storing the viewing information when the viewing information is received from the television receiver. The communication terminal reads the code image displayed on the screen of the television receiver, and the first identification information associated with the read code image and the second identification information of the communication terminal are executed. The communication terminal side pairing process for transmitting the registration instruction including the above to the server, and the first identification information associated with the second identification information of the communication terminal among the viewing information stored in the server. It is characterized in that the viewing information display process of acquiring the viewing information including the above and displaying the information based on the acquired viewing information on the screen of the communication terminal is executed.

In such a monitoring system, the TV receiver receives the monitoring program included in the data broadcasting, and the TV receiver is paired with the communication terminal via the server by the monitoring program. Further, the monitoring system transmits the viewing information of the television receiver to the server by the monitoring program, and the communication terminal acquires the viewing information from the server and displays it. According to this, a general TV receiver capable of receiving data broadcasting can monitor the viewing status of the TV of the monitored person in which the TV receiver is installed, so that no special device is provided. A watching service can be realized.

Hereinafter, the monitoring system and the monitoring method according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

The monitoring system 1 shown in FIG. 1 is applied to a system using a television receiver 2 and a communication terminal 4. The monitoring system 1 includes a television receiver 2, a server 3, and a communication terminal 4, and the television receiver 2, the server 3, and the communication terminal 4 are connected to the network 5.

The TV receiver 2 is a digital television capable of receiving a television broadcast by a signal, and is a broadcast wave W1 of a data broadcast transmitted by the broadcasting station 100 or a data broadcasting broadcast transmitted by a broadcasting station 200 different from the broadcasting station 100. Receives wave W2 and performs streaming playback. The broadcast wave W1 includes the monitoring program 6, but the broadcast wave W2 does not include the monitoring program 6. The television receiver 2 receives the monitoring program via the broadcast wave W1 and stores it in a volatile memory (not shown). For example, when the broadcasting station to be viewed is switched from the broadcasting station 100 to another station (broadcasting station 200), the television receiver 2 erases the monitoring program 6 from the volatile memory (not shown) and switches to the broadcasting station 100 again. If so, the monitoring program 6 is re-received. That is, the television receiver 2 receives the monitoring program 6 every time the program of the broadcasting station 100 is viewed.

The server 3 is, for example, a web server managed by the broadcasting station 100. The server 3 has a pairing management database (hereinafter referred to as "pairing management DB") 11, a message information management database (hereinafter referred to as "message information management DB") 12, and an evacuation information database (hereinafter referred to as "evacuation information DB"). A viewing information database (hereinafter referred to as "viewing information DB") 14 and an advertising database (hereinafter referred to as "advertising DB") 15 are provided.

The pairing management DB 11 is a database for managing the television receiver 2 and the communication terminal 4 paired via the server 3. As shown in FIG. 2, for example, the pairing management DB 11 includes a pairing number, a CAS (Conditional Access System) number (hereinafter referred to as “CAS number”), an IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity), and television location information. And the terminal position information are associated with each other and stored as one record.

The pairing number is information that identifies the combination of the television receiver 2 and the communication terminal 4. The CAS number is information that identifies the television receiver 2, and is, for example, a B-CAS card number or an ACAS number. The IMEI is information that identifies the communication terminal 4. The television position information is information indicating the position of the television receiver 2. The terminal position information is information indicating the position of the communication terminal 4.

The message information management DB 12 is a database that manages message information transmitted from the communication terminal 4 to the television receiver 2 via the server 3. As shown in FIG. 3, for example, the message information management DB 12 stores a pairing number, a message, an acquisition flag, an option setting, and an answer as one record. The message is a message included in the message information received by the server 3 from the communication terminal 4. The acquisition flag is information indicating the acquisition status of the message by the television receiver 2. "ON" is set in the acquisition flag of the message acquired by the TV receiver 2, and "OFF" is set in the acquisition flag of the message not acquired by the television receiver 2. The option setting is the setting of the option included in the message information received from the communication terminal 4 by the server 3, and is the information indicating the setting content of the option input by the user. The answer is an answer included in the answer information received by the server 3 from the television receiver 2.

As shown in FIG. 4, for example, the evacuation information DB 13 is a database that stores evacuation information, and stores evacuation information in association with position information indicating a place where a disaster has occurred. Evacuation information includes, for example, alert levels, disaster information, and evacuation sites.

The viewing information DB 14 is a database that stores viewing information. The viewing information DB 14 stores the viewing information including the CAS number corresponding to the pairing number in association with the pairing number. The viewing information stored in the viewing information DB 14 may be the viewing information itself, information based on the viewing information, for example, information on whether or not the program of the broadcasting station 100 is being watched, or the viewing date and time.

The advertisement DB 15 is a database that stores information related to advertisements. The advertisement DB 15 stores an advertisement in association with a program attribute or a program name. Program attributes are, for example, news, variety, sports, and anime. For example, when the attribute of the program is "sports", the advertisement of the sports-related company is stored in association with "sports". Further, for example, when the attribute of the program is "program name", the advertisement of goods related to the program and the advertisement of the sponsor of the program are stored in association with the "program name".

Returning to FIG. 1, the communication terminal 4 is, for example, a smartphone or a PC. The communication terminal 4 has a watching application program (hereinafter referred to as "watching application") 7 for using the watching service downloaded. The watching application 7 may be downloaded from the HP provided by the broadcasting station 100, or may be downloaded from the digital content distribution service.

Subsequently, the outline of the monitoring system 1 will be described. In the following description, it is assumed that the monitored person is an elderly mother and the watched person is a son living in a remote place. For example, when a son returns home to his mother's house during the summer vacation, he watches a program of broadcasting station 100 at his mother's house. The television receiver 2 receives the monitoring program 6 via the broadcast wave W1 of the data broadcast of the broadcasting station 100. In this state, the son pairs the television receiver 2 at the mother's home with his communication terminal 4. The pairing information is managed by the server 3 in the pairing management DB 11. When the reception of the monitoring program 6 is completed, the television receiver 2 periodically transmits the viewing information to the server 3. As a result, the server 3 stores and stores the viewing status of the broadcasting station 100 in the viewing information DB 14.

For example, if the son accesses the server 3 from the communication terminal 4 after returning to his home after the summer vacation, the communication terminal 4 has the viewing status of the broadcasting station 100 stored in the viewing information DB 14 of the server 3, that is, The viewing status of the mother can be acquired and displayed on the screen of the communication terminal 4.

Therefore, in the monitoring system 1 of this embodiment, the mother's television viewing status can be monitored by a general television receiver 2 capable of receiving data broadcasting, so that the son can monitor the mother's television without providing a special device. You can watch the situation at home. The television receiver 2 and the communication terminal 4 can further use the communication function and the location information sharing function described later. In addition, the television receiver 2 can use the emergency notification function described later.

Subsequently, the operation procedure of the monitoring system 1 will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, pairing will be described with reference to the sequence diagram of FIG.

The television receiver 2 receives the monitoring program 6 included in the broadcast wave W1 by viewing the broadcast station 100 (S1). S1 is an example of "reception processing". In this state, for example, when the TV receiver 2 receives an operation of the d button on the remote controller, the television receiver 2 displays an icon requesting pairing on the screen. When the television receiver 2 accepts the operation of the icon using, for example, the remote controller, it accepts the input of the pairing request (S2) and transmits the pairing instruction to the server 3 (S3). The television receiver 2 passes the CAS number that identifies the television receiver 2 and the television position information indicating the position of the television receiver 2 to the server 3 together with the pairing instruction. The television receiver 2 may automatically acquire the television position information by GPS, or may have the user input the television position information. The CAS number is an example of "first identification information". The TV position information is an example of "position information of the TV receiver".

When the server 3 receives the pairing instruction, the server 3 temporarily stores the CAS number and the TV position information in association with each other (S4). The server 3 generates a QR code (registered trademark) including a CAS number (S5) and transmits the pairing instruction to the television receiver 2 (S6). When the television receiver 2 receives the QR code while receiving the monitoring program 6, the television receiver 2 displays the QR code on the screen (S7). The processing of S2, S3, and S7 is an example of "television side pairing processing". The processing of S5 and S6 is an example of "server-side pairing pre-processing".

When the communication terminal 4 is held over the screen of the television receiver 2 displaying the QR code, the communication terminal 4 reads the QR code (S21) and transmits a registration instruction to the server 3 (S22). The communication terminal 4 passes the CAS number included in the QR code and the IMEI that identifies the communication terminal 4 to the server 3 together with the registration instruction. The processing of S21 and S22 is an example of "communication terminal side pairing processing". IMEI is an example of "second identification information".

The server 3 associates the CAS number attached to the registration instruction with the IMEI, stores it in the pairing management DB 11, and performs the registration process (S23). The process of S23 is an example of "server-side pairing post-processing". That is, the server 3 generates a pairing number, and the CAS number attached to the registration instruction, the IMEI attached to the registration instruction, and the TV position stored in association with the CAS number in S4 are stored in the pairing number. A record is generated in association with the information and registered in the pairing management DB 11. The record also includes a field for storing terminal location information, which is left blank during the registration process.

The server 3 transmits a pairing completion notification indicating that the pairing is completed to the television receiver 2 and the communication terminal 4 associated with the registration process (S24, S25). A pairing number may be attached to the pairing completion notification. The television receiver 2 and the communication terminal 4 store information indicating that the pairing completion notification is being received, or a pairing number.

The number of communication terminals 4 associated with one television receiver 2 may be one or a plurality. For example, the communication terminals of the son and the daughter may be paired with the television receiver 2 at the mother's home, respectively. The pairing can be executed at any time after watching the program of the broadcasting station 100 and receiving the monitoring program 6 on the television receiver 2.

Subsequently, a scene in which viewing information is transmitted from the television receiver 2 to the server 3 will be described. The television receiver 2 that has received the monitoring program 6 executes the viewing information transmission process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6 by the monitoring program 6. That is, the television receiver 2 determines whether or not the pairing is completed (S31). When the television receiver 2 stores, for example, information indicating that the pairing completion notification is received or the pairing number, the television receiver 2 determines that the pairing is completed (S31: YES). In this case, the television receiver 2 determines whether or not it is time to transmit viewing information (S32). For example, when the television receiver 2 periodically transmits viewing information, the timing at which a predetermined time has elapsed from the previous transmission is set as the timing for transmitting the viewing information.

When the television receiver 2 determines that it is not the transmission timing (S32: NO), the television receiver 2 proceeds to S34, which will be described later. On the other hand, when the television receiver 2 determines that it is the transmission timing (S32: YES), the television receiver 2 transmits the viewing information with the CAS number to the server 3 (S33). The processing of S32 and S33 is an example of "viewing information transmission processing". Then, the television receiver 2 determines whether or not the viewing of the broadcasting station 100 has been completed (S34). The television receiver 2 determines that the viewing of the broadcasting station 100 does not end while the program of the broadcasting station 100 is being viewed (S34: NO), and repeats the processes after S32. Therefore, the television receiver 2 periodically transmits the viewing information to the server 3 while viewing the program of the broadcasting station 100.

On the other hand, the television receiver 2 determines that, for example, when the broadcasting station 100 is changed to another station (for example, the broadcasting station 200) or the power is turned off, the viewing of the broadcasting station 100 is completed (S34). : YES), the process shown in FIG. 6 is terminated. That is, the television receiver 2 does not transmit the viewing information to the server 3.

If the television receiver 2 has not received the pairing completion notification and determines that the pairing has not been completed (S31: NO), the television receiver 2 proceeds to S34 without transmitting the viewing information to the server 3. .. That is, the television receiver 2 is restricted from transmitting viewing information to the server 3 when its own CAS number is not registered in the server 3. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the viewing information, which can be said to be personal information, from being transmitted to the server 3 against the intention of the mother who is the monitoring target, and protect the privacy of the mother.

When the server 3 receives the viewing information transmitted from the television receiver 2, the server 3 stores the viewing information in the viewing information DB 14 (S41) as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7, and ends the process. The process of S41 is an example of "viewing information storage process". For example, the server 3 extracts the pairing number associated with the CAS number included in the viewing information from the pairing management DB 11, associates the received viewing information with the extracted pairing number, and stores it in the viewing information DB 14. As a result, the viewing information is stored in the viewing information DB 14 for each pairing number. The viewing information may be stored in the viewing information DB 14 at any time without being associated with the pairing number.

Subsequently, a scene in which the communication terminal 4 watches over based on the viewing information of the television receiver 2 will be described. As shown in the sequence diagram of FIG. 8, when the communication terminal 4 activates the watching application 7 (S51) and receives a status confirmation instruction for confirming the status of the mother who is the monitoring target (S52), the communication terminal 4 transmits viewing information. Is requested from the server 3 (S53). The status confirmation instruction includes the IMEI of the communication terminal 4.

The server 3 that has received the viewing information transmission request extracts the viewing information including the CAS number associated with the IMEI included in the status confirmation instruction (S54). For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when the IMEI attached to the status confirmation instruction is "bbbb1", the server 3 identifies the CAS number "aaa1" associated with the IMEI "bbbb1" based on the pairing management DB 11. To do. Then, the server 3 extracts the viewing information associated with the specified CAS number "aaa1" from the viewing information DB 14. The server 3 transmits the extracted viewing information to the communication terminal 4 (S55). As a result, the communication terminal 4 can acquire the viewing information of the television receiver 2 paired with the own terminal among the viewing information stored in the server 3. The viewing information transmitted in S55 may be the viewing information itself, or information based on the viewing information (for example, whether or not the program of the broadcasting station 100 is viewed, the viewing date and time, etc.). ..

Returning to FIG. 8, the communication terminal 4 displays a status confirmation screen for displaying information based on the acquired viewing information on the screen of the own terminal by the watching application 7 (S56). For example, the status confirmation screen displays a list of acquired viewing information. Further, for example, the status confirmation screen displays a message notifying that the monitored person is at home due to the presence of viewing information. Further, for example, the status confirmation screen displays a message notifying that the monitored person may not be at home due to the lack of viewing information. S55 and S56 are examples of "viewing information display processing".

Therefore, for example, the son can display the viewing information of the mother on the communication terminal 4 from a remote place outside the mother's home and monitor the home status of the mother.

Further, the server 3 has a function of analyzing the viewing information by itself and notifying the communication terminal 4 when an abnormality is detected. For example, as shown in the sequence diagram of FIG. 9, when the server 3 determines that there is a television receiver 2 that continuously receives the viewing information for a predetermined time or longer based on the viewing information DB 14, for example, the television (S61). A first warning signal indicating that the television is being continuously viewed is pushed to the communication terminal 4 paired with the receiver 2 (S62). That is, the server 3 identifies the IMEI by collating the CAS number included in the viewing information continuously received for a predetermined time or longer with the pairing management DB 11. Then, the server 3 push-notifies the communication terminal 4 corresponding to the specified IMEI of the first warning signal. S61 and S62 are examples of the "first warning transmission process".

The communication terminal 4 that has received the first warning signal displays the first warning screen (S63). S63 is an example of "first warning processing". Information based on the first warning signal is displayed on the first warning screen. The information based on the first warning signal is, for example, a message such as "The monitored person continues to watch TV, so please inform me of the situation."

Further, for example, as shown in the sequence diagram of FIG. 10, when there is a television receiver 2 that does not continuously receive viewing information for a predetermined time or longer (S71), the server 3 is associated with the CAS number of the television receiver 2. A second warning signal indicating that the image is not being viewed is pushed to the communication terminal 4 corresponding to the IMEI (S72). S71 and S72 are examples of the "second warning transmission process". The communication terminal 4 that has received the second warning signal displays the second warning screen (S73). S73 is an example of "second warning processing". Since S72 and S73 are the same as S62 and S63, the description thereof will be omitted.

For example, if the TV is left on for a whole day on the channel of the broadcasting station 100, or if the TV is not watched for a whole day, the mother who is the monitored person cannot operate the TV receiver 2. There is a risk of being there. In such a case, the server 3 push-notifies the communication terminal 4 with the first warning signal or the second warning signal even if there is no access from the communication terminal 4, and displays the first warning screen or the second warning screen on the communication terminal. Display on 4. Therefore, the son can notice the mother's abnormality early and take measures such as contacting the mother and neighbors.

Subsequently, a communication function in which the monitored person and the monitor communicate with each other by the television receiver 2 and the communication terminal 4 will be described. For example, as shown in the sequence diagram of FIG. 11, when the communication terminal 4 activates the watching application 7 (S101) and accepts the input of the message to be displayed on the television receiver 2 (S102), the received message and the own terminal The message information including the IMEI is transmitted to the server 3 (S103). S102 and S103 are examples of "message information transmission processing". In addition, the communication terminal 4 may accept the setting of the answer option to the message together with the message. In this case, the message information transmitted by the communication terminal 4 includes the setting of options.

The server 3 stores the message information received from the communication terminal 4 (S104). S104 is an example of "message information storage processing". For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when the IMEI included in the message information is "bbbb1", the server 3 identifies the pairing number "01" associated with the IMEI "bbb1" from the pairing management DB 11 and receives it. The message included in the message information is associated with the specified pairing number "01" and registered in the message information management DB 12. When the message information includes the option setting, the option setting is also stored in the message information management DB 12 in association with the pairing number “01”. The acquisition flag is set to "OFF" and the answer is left blank.

Returning to FIG. 11, the television receiver 2 receives the monitoring program 6 when viewing the program of the broadcasting station 100 as described above (S111). In this state, the television receiver 2 periodically requests the server 3 to transmit the message information by the monitoring program 6 (S112). The CAS number of the television receiver 2 is attached to the message information transmission request.

When the server 3 receives the message information transmission request, if the message information including the CAS number attached to the message information transmission request is not in the message information management DB 12, the server 3 transmits to the television receiver 2 that there is no message information. On the other hand, if there is message information including the CAS number attached to the message information transmission request, the server 3 returns the message information to the television receiver 2 (S113 to S116).

That is, for example, when the server 3 receives the message information transmission request including the CAS number "aaa1", the server 3 extracts the message information including the CAS number "aaa1" (S113). Specifically, the server 3 specifies the pairing number "01" associated with the CAS number "aaa1" from the pairing management DB 11 shown in FIG. 2, and the pairing number "01" specified from the message information management DB 12. Extract records that contain.

Then, the server 3 analyzes the characteristics of the viewer (S114), adds an advertisement suitable for the characteristics to the message (S115), and transmits the message and the message information including the advertisement to the television receiver 2 (S116). .. Advertising is an example of "additional information". For example, the server 3 extracts the viewing information stored in association with the specified pairing number "01" from the viewing information stored in the viewing information DB 14 shown in FIG. Then, the server 3 analyzes the characteristics (preferences) of the viewer from the extracted viewing information, and includes the advertisement corresponding to the characteristics in the message information. The additional information to be included in the message information may be one or more.

For example, the server 3 stores the program guide of the broadcasting station 100, collates the viewing date and time included in the viewing information with the program guide, and identifies the viewed program. Then, the server 3 specifies the attributes and program names of the programs that are frequently viewed, based on the specified programs. The server 3 acquires an advertisement associated with the attribute of the specified program and the program name from the advertisement DB 15 shown in FIG. 1, and adds the acquired advertisement to the message extracted in S113. When the attribute of the specified program is "sports", the server 3 adds an advertisement of a sports-related company to the message. In addition, when the program name is specified, an advertisement for goods related to the program and an advertisement for the sponsor are added to the message. After that, the server 3 transmits the message information including the message and the advertisement to the television receiver 2.

After transmitting the message information to the television receiver 2, the server 3 changes the acquisition flag of the message information management DB 12 shown in FIG. 3 from “OFF” to “ON” (S119).

The television receiver 2 that has received the message information determines whether or not it is the advertisement period (CM period) based on the information included in the broadcast wave W1 of the data broadcast. Whether or not it is an advertising period can be determined, for example, by a flag indicating whether or not it is an advertising period included in the data broadcasting script. When the television receiver 2 is not in the advertisement period (S117), the television receiver 2 displays a message and an advertisement included in the received message information on the screen (S118). The process of S118 is an example of a message display process.

In this way, when the monitored person is watching the program of the broadcasting station 100, the message can be displayed on the television receiver 2 from the communication terminal 4 via the server 3. For example, suppose that the communication terminal 4 corresponding to the IMEI "bbb1" sends message information including the message "I want to go to play this weekend, how is it convenient?" Entered by my son. In this case, in the pairing management DB 11 shown in FIG. 2, the television receiver 2 corresponding to the CAS number “aaa1” associated with the IMEI “bbb1” receives the son from the communication terminal 4 when viewing the broadcasting station 100. Message is automatically displayed on the screen of the television receiver 2. Therefore, even if the mother who is the monitoring target does not perform any special operation, the TV receiver 2 conveys the message from the son who is the monitoring to the mother, so that the mother can feel reassured that the son is watching over. Can be granted.

Further, since the television receiver 2 displays an advertisement suitable for the characteristics of the viewer analyzed based on the viewing information together with the message, it is possible to display with high added value. For example, when a mother often watches an information variety program, the television receiver 2 displays an advertisement for a product or the like introduced in the information variety program on the screen together with a message from her son. Therefore, the television receiver 2 is more likely to display an advertisement that the mother is highly interested in on the screen. That is, the television receiver 2 can provide useful information for the mother.

On the other hand, in the case of the advertisement period, the television receiver 2 does not execute the process of S118 and limits the display of the message and the additional information included in the message information until the advertisement period ends. That is, the television receiver 2 does not display the message and additional information on the screen together with the advertisement.

Advertising is likely to be meaningful information for the monitored audience. Therefore, the TV receiver 2 does not display the message or additional information on the screen during the advertisement period, but displays the message or additional information on the screen after the advertisement period is over, so that the monitored person can easily see the meaningful advertisement. it can.

Further, the television receiver 2 has a response function for answering a message. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the television receiver 2 receives a reply operation by the monitoring program 6 after receiving the message (S121). The answer operation may be, for example, an operation of displaying the answer options on the screen of the television receiver 2 and selecting the options using the four-color buttons on the remote controller, a character input operation, or a button indicating read. It may be the operation of. When selecting an option, the option may be prepared in advance by the communication terminal 4 and included in the message information.

The television receiver 2 that has received the answer operation transmits the answer information to the server 3 (S122). The answer information includes the operation information specified by the answer operation and the CAS number of the television receiver 2. The processing of S122 and S123 is an example of "answer transmission processing". The operation information may be, for example, an answer input by the user, an answer selected by an option, or the operation content of the remote controller (which button of the four-color button and the d button is pressed. Was done).

For example, the communication terminal 4 has the option setting "red: okay. Blue: Saturday is inconvenient. Yellow: Sunday is inconvenient. Green: When "It is inconvenient on Saturdays and Sundays" is accepted and transmitted to the TV receiver 2 via the server 3, the TV receiver 2 displays the message of the son and the options prepared by the son. For example, when the mother operates the red button on the remote controller, the TV receiver 2 sends the answer information including the answer "OK" specified by the operation of the red button and the CAS number "aaa1" of the own machine to the server. Send to 3.

When the server 3 receives the answer information, the server 3 stores the answer information (S123). That is, the server 3 identifies the pairing number "01" corresponding to the CAS number "aaa1" included in the response information based on the pairing management DB 11 shown in FIG. 2, and pairs in the message information management DB 12 shown in FIG. The answer "OK" included in the answer information is stored in the record including the ring number "01". Therefore, in the message information management DB 12, the server 3 determines that there is no reply to the message when the message is not associated with the answer and is stored, and when the message is associated with the answer and is stored, the server 3 determines that there is no answer. It can be determined that there is an answer to the message.

After transmitting the message information to the server 3 in S103, the communication terminal 4 periodically inquires the server 3 whether or not there is a reply to the message (S124). When the server 3 determines that there is no reply to the message, the server 3 notifies the communication terminal 4 of information indicating that there is no reply information. On the other hand, when the server 3 stores the reply information in S123 and determines that there is a reply to the message, the server 3 identifies the communication terminal 4 by the IMEI included in the inquiry (S125). For example, when the IMEI included in the inquiry is "bbb1", the server 3 specifies the pairing number "01" based on the pairing management DB 11 shown in FIG. Then, the server 3 transmits the answer information including the answer "OK" associated with the specified IMEI "bbb1" among the answers stored in the message information management DB 12 shown in FIG. 3 to the communication terminal 4. (S126). The processing of S125 and S126 is an example of "answer relay processing". That is, the server 3 returns the reply to the message transmitted from the communication terminal 4 to the communication terminal 4.

The communication terminal 4 that has received the reply information causes the communication terminal 4 to display a reply screen that displays information based on the operation information included in the received reply information (S127). The process of S127 is an example of "answer display process". That is, the communication terminal 4 displays the answer to the transmitted message.

After transmitting the reply information to the communication terminal 4, the server 3 deletes the message information and the reply information (S127). That is, the server 3 deletes the record including the IMEI of the communication terminal 4 that transmitted the message from the message information management DB 12. As a result, the monitoring based on the communication between the monitor and the monitored person is removed from the management of the server 3.

In this way, the response to the message from the television receiver 2 is transmitted to the communication terminal 4 via the server, so that, for example, the mother who is the monitoring target and the son who is the monitoring can communicate with each other. The convenience of the monitoring system 1 is improved.

Further, the server 3 has a function of monitoring according to the acquisition of the message of the television receiver 2. For example, as shown in the sequence diagram of FIG. 12, after storing the message information received from the communication terminal 4 (S104), the server 3 acquires the message information from the communication terminal 4 if there is no message information transmission request from the television receiver 2. The message is kept in the message information management DB 12. For example, if the acquisition flag is not changed from "OFF" to "ON" even after a lapse of a predetermined time or more after storing the message information in S104, the server 3 continuously acquires the message information for a predetermined time or more. It is determined that this is not done (S131). In this case, the server 3 pushes a non-message signal indicating that the message information cannot be displayed to the communication terminal 4 which is the source of the message information (S132). The processing of S131 and S132 is an example of "transmission processing in which no message is possible".

The communication terminal 4 that has received the non-message signal displays a non-message screen that displays information based on the received non-message signal on the screen of the communication terminal 4 (S133). The process of S133 is an example of "message non-display process". That is, the communication terminal 4 is notified that the message has not been read.

In this way, if the television receiver 2 does not acquire the message even after a predetermined time has elapsed after the communication terminal 4 transmits the message, for example, the mother who is the monitored person cannot watch the television. There is a risk of Therefore, the server 3 notifies the communication terminal 4 to that effect and notifies the son who is the observer. According to this, the son can notice the mother's anomaly early.

Further, the server 3 has a function of watching over according to the answer of the television receiver 2. For example, as shown in the sequence diagram of FIG. 13, when the server 3 does not store the answer in the record corresponding to the message included in the message information after transmitting the message information to the television receiver 2 in S116, for example. It is determined that the response information is not received from the television receiver 2 even after a lapse of a predetermined time or more (S141). In this case, the server 3 push-notifies the communication terminal 4 which is the transmission source of the message information of the unanswered signal indicating that there is no reply (S142). The processing of S141 and S142 is an example of "unanswered transmission processing".

The communication terminal 4 that has received the unanswered signal displays an unanswered screen that displays information based on the received unanswered signal on the screen of the communication terminal 4 (S143). The process of S143 is an example of "unanswered display process". That is, the communication terminal 4 is notified that there is no answer.

In this way, if there is no response from the television receiver 2 even after a predetermined time has passed since the communication terminal 4 transmitted the message, for example, the mother who is the monitoring target may not be able to respond. is there. Therefore, the server 3 notifies the communication terminal 4 to that effect and notifies the son who is the observer. According to this, the son can notice the mother's anomaly early.

Next, a location sharing function for sharing the location of the observer between the communication terminal 4 and the television receiver 2 will be described. For example, as shown in the sequence diagram of FIG. 14, the communication terminal 4 activates the watching application 7 (S151), and the monitoring application 7 displays the terminal position information indicating the position of the communication terminal 4 on the television receiver 2. When the input of the display instruction is accepted and the position display instruction is accepted (S152), the terminal position information is acquired (S153). The terminal position information is an example of "location information of a communication terminal". The terminal position information may be acquired from the GPS information possessed by the communication terminal 4, or may be manually input. The communication terminal 4 transmits the position display information including the acquired terminal position information and the IMEI of the own terminal to the server 3 (S154). The processing of S152 to S154 is an example of "position display information transmission processing".

The server 3 that has received the position display information stores the received position display information (S155). That is, the server 3 stores the terminal position information included in the position display information in the record corresponding to the IMEI included in the position display information in the pairing management DB 11 shown in FIG. The process of S155 is an example of "position display information storage process".

The television receiver 2 accesses the server 3 by the monitoring program 6 in a state of receiving the monitoring program 6 (S161), and inquires about the presence or absence of the position display information (S162). The inquiry includes a CAS number. The inquiry may be made by a request input by the user, or may be made by polling until the terminal position information can be obtained.

When the server 3 receives the inquiry, the server 3 extracts the position display information (S163). That is, when the terminal position information is stored in the record corresponding to the CAS number included in the inquiry in the pairing management DB 11, the server 3 extracts the terminal position information. Then, the server 3 transmits the position display information including the extracted terminal position information to the television receiver 2 (S164). The terminal position information may be deleted from the pairing management DB 11 after being transmitted to the television receiver 2, or may be deleted after a lapse of a certain period of time after being stored in the pairing management DB 11.

When the TV receiver 2 receives the position display information, the TV receiver 2 displays a position sharing screen for displaying information based on the terminal position information included in the position display information on the screen of the TV receiver 2 (S165). The processing of S162 and S165 is an example of "position information display processing".

On the other hand, when the terminal position information is not stored in the record corresponding to the CAS number included in the inquiry in the pairing management DB 11, the server 3 returns the information indicating that there is no terminal position information to the television receiver 2. .. In this case, the television receiver 2 does not display the position sharing screen.

In this way, for example, by displaying the position information of the son who is the observer on the television receiver 2 from the communication terminal 4 via the server 3, it is possible to inform the mother who is the monitored person of the whereabouts of the son. It can be expected to give the mother a sense of security.

Subsequently, the emergency notification function will be described. For example, as shown in the sequence diagram of FIG. 15, when the server 3 acquires evacuation information from the server 300 of the local government via the network 5 (S171), the server 3 stores the received evacuation information in the evacuation information DB 13 (S172).

The TV receiver 2 periodically inquires of the server 3 for evacuation information by the monitoring program 6 in the state of receiving the monitoring program 6 (S181). The inquiry includes the CAS number of the television receiver 2. Inquiries may be made by request or by polling.

When the server 3 receives the inquiry, it determines whether or not the disaster occurrence condition is satisfied. That is, the server 3 collates the CAS number included in the inquiry with the pairing management DB 11, and reads out the TV position information associated with the CAS number. The server 3 identifies the area from the read TV position information. In the evacuation information DB 13 shown in FIG. 4, the server 3 determines that the disaster occurrence condition is satisfied when the specified area is an evacuation area, and satisfies the disaster occurrence condition when the specified area is not an evacuation area. Judge not to.

When the server 3 determines that the disaster occurrence condition is satisfied (S183), the server 3 reads out the evacuation information of the specified area based on the television position information from the evacuation information DB 13 (S184). Then, the server 3 transmits the read evacuation information to the television receiver 2 that made the inquiry (S185). The television receiver 2 displays an evacuation notification screen that displays information based on the received evacuation information on the screen of the television receiver 2 (S186). The processing of S184 and S185 is an example of "evacuation information transmission processing". The process of S186 is an example of "evacuation information display process". On the evacuation notification screen, for example, an evacuation message according to the alert level, a message notifying the place where a disaster has occurred, a message notifying the evacuation place in the area, and the like are displayed.

When the server 3 determines that the disaster occurrence condition is not satisfied, the server 3 responds with information indicating that there is no disaster information without executing the processes of S184 and S185. In this case, the television receiver 2 does not display the information corresponding to the evacuation information.

In this way, when the evacuation information associated with the position information is provided to the server 3 by the local government, the evacuation information suitable for the position of the television receiver 2 can be displayed on the television receiver 2 when a disaster occurs. As a result, it can be expected that the monitored person will take appropriate measures such as avoiding the river where the disaster is occurring and evacuating, or evacuating to the evacuation site displayed on the TV receiver 2.

As described in detail above, in the monitoring system 1 of the present embodiment, the television receiver 2 receives the monitoring program 6 included in the data broadcasting, and the monitoring program 6 communicates with the television receiver 2 via the server 3. Pair with 4. Further, the monitoring system 1 transmits the viewing information of the television receiver 2 to the server 3 by the monitoring program 6, and the communication terminal 4 acquires the viewing information from the server 3 and displays it. According to this, a general TV receiver 2 capable of receiving data broadcasting can monitor the TV viewing status of the person to be monitored in which the TV receiver 2 is installed, so that a special device is provided. A watching service can be realized without any need. Therefore, according to this embodiment, in the monitoring system 1 using the television receiver 2, it is possible to realize a technique capable of obtaining the home status of the monitored person even with the general television receiver 2.

It should be noted that the present embodiment is merely an example and does not limit the present invention in any way. Therefore, as a matter of course, the present invention can be improved and modified in various ways without departing from the gist thereof.

The process of S31 shown in FIG. 6 may be omitted, and the television receiver 2 may periodically transmit the viewing information to the server 3 even before the pairing is completed. That is, the television receiver 2 may start transmitting viewing information immediately after downloading the monitoring program 6. In this case, the server 3 performs a process of determining whether or not the pairing is completed before the process of S41 in FIG. 7, and if it is determined that the pairing is completed, executes the process of S41. However, if it is determined that the pairing has not been completed, the process of S41 may not be executed. According to this, since the viewing information of the unpaired TV receiver 2 does not remain on the server 3, the privacy of the monitored person is protected.

The process of S52 in FIG. 8 may be omitted, and the communication terminal 4 may automatically execute the process of S53 to request the viewing information and acquire the viewing information when the watching application 7 is started.

The processes of S61 to S63 in FIG. 9 and the processes of S71 to S73 in FIG. 10 may be omitted. However, by performing these processes, it is possible to notify the observer at an early stage that the person to be monitored may be in a state where the television cannot be operated.

The data such as viewing information transmitted from the television receiver 2 to the server 3 and the data such as viewing information transmitted from the communication terminal 4 to the server 3 are included in the pairing completion notifications of S24 and S25 of FIG. A pairing number may be added. In this case, the server 3 collates the pairing number with the pairing management DB 11 to identify the television receiver 2 and the communication terminal 4.

It is not necessary to omit the process shown in FIG. 11 and execute the communication function. Further, the processes of S121 to S127 may be omitted and only the message may be transmitted. However, by performing the processes shown in S102 to S118 of FIG. 11, even if the monitored person does not perform any special operation, the message of the monitor is transmitted to the monitored person, and the monitored person is watched by the monitor. You can get a sense of security. Further, by performing the processes of S121 to S127 of FIG. 11, communication between the monitored person and the monitor can be achieved, and the convenience of the system can be improved.

It is not necessary to omit the processing of S114 and S115 in FIG. 11 and display the advertisement together with the message. However, by performing this process, useful information can be displayed on the television receiver 2 to the monitored person, and the convenience of the system is improved. Further, the process of S117 may be omitted, and the television receiver 2 may display a message or additional information during the advertisement period. However, by performing these processes, it becomes easier for the monitored person to obtain meaningful information, and the convenience of the system is improved.

The process shown in FIG. 12 may be omitted, and the server 3 may not push-notify the communication terminal 4 that the message cannot be sent. Further, the process shown in FIG. 13 may be omitted, and the server 3 may not push-notify the communication terminal 4 of the unanswered answer. However, by performing these processes, it is possible to notify the observer at an early stage that the monitored person may be in a state of receiving a message or being unable to send a reply.

It is not necessary to omit the process shown in FIG. 14 and display the position of the communication terminal 4, that is, the location of the observer on the television receiver 2. However, by performing this process, the position of the observer can be notified to the monitored person, and the monitored person can be given a sense of security.

It is not necessary to omit the process shown in FIG. 15 and display the evacuation information displayed by the local government on the television receiver 2. However, by executing this process, it can be expected that the evacuation information suitable for the position of the television receiver 2 will be transmitted to the monitored person, and the monitored person will take an appropriate response to the disaster.

For example, message information and answer information may be stored in separate databases. In this case, the server 3 may delete the message information after transmitting the message information to the television receiver 2, or may delete the message information when the message information is not transmitted to the television receiver 2 for a certain period of time.

S55 in FIG. 8, S116 and S125 shown in FIG. 11, S164 in FIG. 14, and S185 in FIG. 15 may be push notifications. In this case, there is no need for a request or polling from the television receiver 2 or the communication terminal 4.

After receiving the monitoring program 6, the TV receiver 2 acquires the TV receiver ID from the server 3 by the monitoring program 6, and uses the TV receiver ID instead of the CAS number in each process shown in FIG. You may. The TV receiver ID is an example of "first identification information". Further, the communication terminal 4 may acquire the communication terminal ID from the server 3 by the monitoring application 7, and may use the communication terminal ID instead of the IMEI in each process shown in FIG. The communication terminal ID is an example of "second identification information". A server other than the server 3 may generate and assign an ID for a television receiver and an ID for a communication terminal.

Explaining an example of a scene in which the television receiver 2 acquires the ID for the television receiver, the television receiver 2 accesses the server 3 by the monitoring program 6 while receiving the monitoring program 6. The server 3 accesses the memory of the television receiver 2 and determines whether or not the television receiver ID is stored in the memory. When the server 3 determines that the TV receiver ID is not stored in the memory, the server 3 generates the TV receiver ID and transmits it to the TV receiver 2. The television receiver 2 receives the television receiver ID and stores it in the memory. On the other hand, when the server 3 determines that the TV receiver ID is stored in the memory, the server 3 does not generate the TV receiver ID and does not transmit the TV receiver ID to the TV receiver 2. In the same manner as this, the communication terminal 4 receives and stores the communication terminal ID from the server 3.

For example, the server 3 generates an ID for a television receiver and an ID for a communication terminal in response to a request from the monitoring program 6 of the television receiver 2 and the monitoring application 7 of the communication terminal 4, and the television receiver 2 or the like. It may be given to the communication terminal 4. In this case, when the TV receiver ID is stored in the memory of the TV receiver 2 or the communication terminal ID is stored in the memory of the communication terminal 4, the monitoring program 6 and the watching application 7 are described above. Avoiding requests simplifies the process.

Further, in the arbitrary sequence diagram disclosed in the embodiment, the arbitrary plurality of processes can be arbitrarily changed in the execution order or executed in parallel as long as the processing contents do not conflict with each other.

Further, the process disclosed in the embodiment may be executed by a single CPU, a plurality of CPUs, hardware such as an ASIC, or a combination thereof. In addition, the process disclosed in the embodiment can be realized in various aspects such as a recording medium or a method in which a program for executing the process is recorded.
