Resident information for each of the residents residing in the house 12 is registered in the registration unit 30 of the monitoring controller 16. The resident information includes attribute information for making a crime prevention decision about the resident. In addition, the resident information includes information that identifies the resident. In this embodiment, a child is applied as a specific person. Further, in the present embodiment, men (adult men and men other than specific persons) are classified as non-specific persons, and women (adult women and women other than specific persons) are classified as quasi-specific persons.

Children as specific persons are school children (elementary school students and junior high school students) and preschool children (school children and younger). The child may be a high school student or younger (age equivalent to a high school student or younger). In addition, when children are school children or younger, high school students, etc. are classified as semi-specific persons (female). Furthermore, the classification of specific persons, non-specific persons and semi-specific persons may be made in consideration of crime prevention, physical strength, physical condition, etc. for each resident. For example, in the case of elderly people, not non-specific persons but semi-specific persons. Or it is classified as a specific person or a non-specific person.

Information such as gender and age for the resident to identify either male, female or child is applied to the attribute information included in the resident information, and the attribute information is non-specific or semi-specific for the resident. Information that can be classified as a person and a specific person is applied.

Further, as the resident information, at least various information for identifying the resident from other resident is applied in the monitoring controller 16. Resident information may include, for example, the resident's body shape (height, weight, etc.), physique, hairstyle (long hair or short hair, etc.), and vitals such as heartbeat and body temperature of the resident in normal times. Information (biological information), a face image for face recognition (image for face recognition), an iris image for iris recognition (eye image, image for iris recognition), and the like may be included.

As the resident information registered in the registration unit 30, the information acquired by the monitoring controller 16 using various sensors such as vital sensors and cameras may be used, and the resident information is acquired over time using various sensors. The information provided may be used and updated. As a result, it is possible to optimize the resident's body shape, physique, hairstyle, and various vital information as resident information.

The housing monitoring system 10 sets monitoring conditions for crime prevention according to the resident information, and the housing monitoring system 10 monitors for crime prevention in response to the resident information registered in the registration unit 30. The monitoring level as a condition is set in multiple stages. FIG. 3 is a chart showing an outline of the monitoring level. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that a family of three or more including a male (adult male), a female (adult female) and a child resides in the house 12.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, the monitoring level is set to four levels from monitoring level 0 to monitoring level 3, and the monitoring level is set so that the higher the number (level), the higher the crime prevention property. Has been done. The monitoring level may be set in a plurality of stages, and may be not limited to 4 stages but may be 10 stages or the like. By increasing the number of stages of monitoring level, it is possible to set detailed monitoring conditions for crime prevention according to the combination of residents and residents who are at home, and effective monitoring according to the residents who are at home. Can be made possible.

The monitoring level is selected from a plurality of values according to the resident at home (resident information as attribute information of the resident) and set. Surveillance level 0 is selected based on whether all residents are at home or the residences at home include men (non-specific persons). Further, the monitoring level 3 is selected when all the residents are absent, and the monitoring level 2 is selected when only the child (specific person) is at home. Further, monitoring level 1 is selected when only children and women (quasi-specific persons) or women are at home, that is, when the specific person is not at home but the semi-specific person is at home.

On the other hand, the house monitoring system 10 is provided with a resident detection means and a resident sensor 50 as a resident detection means. Further, in the house monitoring system 10, the resident sensor 50 is provided at the entrance 52 of the house 12 as an opening, and in the house monitoring system 10, the resident sensor 50 goes out through the entrance 52 and returns home. Detect resident. As a result, in the house monitoring system 10, the resident sensor 50 also functions as an out-of-home detection means.

The resident sensor 50 identifies the detected resident by collating the detection result of the resident with the resident information. The resident sensor 50 may be a face recognition sensor (face imaging means) that performs face recognition. The face recognition sensor acquires a face image of a resident passing through the entrance 52, and identifies the resident by collating the acquired face image with a face image (face recognition image) registered as resident information. The configuration can be applied.

Further, the resident sensor 50 may be an iris authentication sensor that performs iris authentication. The iris authentication sensor acquires an iris image (eye face image) of a resident passing through the entrance 52, and collates the acquired iris image with the iris image (iris authentication image) registered as resident information. , Resident-specific configurations can be applied.

Further, the resident sensor 50 may be used in a reader / writer or the like used for RFID (Radio Frequency Identification: RF tag). In this case, an ID (identification code) is set for each resident as resident information, and an ID (RFID) is assigned to the key of the entrance door carried by the resident when going out. Thereby, when the resident passes through the entrance 52, the RFID can be read by the reader / writer to identify the resident. Further, since the key to which the RFID is attached (such as the key of the entrance door 52A) is brought into the house 12, it can be determined that the resident specified by the RFID is at home.

Further, the resident sensor 50 may use an imaging means such as a camera. In this case, the resident sensor 50 extracts information (or images) such as body shape (height, etc.), physique, hairstyle, etc. from the captured image, and collates the extracted information with the resident information to detect the resident. All you have to do is identify the person.

The resident sensor 50 is connected to the home setting unit 32 of the monitoring controller 16. The home setting unit 32 determines the resident who is at home (the resident who remains in the house 12) based on the detection result of the resident sensor 50. The home setting unit 32 may determine the resident who is at home by specifying the resident who is out.

The monitoring setting unit 34 monitors as a monitoring condition for crime prevention based on the resident in the room set by the home setting unit 32 and the resident information (attribute information) registered in the registration unit 30. Set the level.

On the other hand, the house 12 is provided with a window 54 as an opening. In the present embodiment, the entrance 52 and the window 54 will be described as an example of the opening, but the opening includes equipment such as a self-propelled entrance that allows people to enter and exit and requires monitoring for crime prevention.

The house monitoring system 10 is provided with a closing sensor 56 and a locking detection sensor 58 constituting the locking detection means, and a closing device 60 and a locking device 62 constituting the locking means for the entrance 52. There is. A magnet switch or the like is used for the closing sensor 56, and the closing sensor 56 detects whether or not the entrance door 52A is closed. The lock detection sensor 58 detects whether or not the entrance door 52A is locked.

Further, for example, a door check or the like is used for the closing device 60 of the entrance door 52A, and when the entrance door 52A is not closed, the entrance door 52A is closed by the urging force of the urging means or the actuator. When the entrance door 52A is unlocked, the locking device 62 locks the entrance door 52A and enables the locked entrance door 52A to be manually unlocked. For such a locking device 62, for example, an electronic lock or the like can be used.

Further, the house monitoring system 10 is provided with a closing sensor 56 and a locking detection sensor 58 constituting the locking detecting means for each window 54, and the closing device 64 and the locking device 66 constituting the locking means are provided. It is provided. The closing sensor 56 detects whether or not the fitting 54A such as the glass door of the window 54 is closed, and the locking detection sensor 58 detects whether or not the window 54 is locked.

Further, the closing device 64 moves the fitting 54A to the closing position and closes the window 54 when the window 54 is not closed. The closing device 64 moves the fitting 54A of the window 54 to the closing position along the window frame by, for example, an actuator. The locking device 66 is locked by, for example, blocking the movement of the fitting 54A in the opening direction by a locking member (not shown), and the locked window 54 can be unlocked by a manual operation.

In the house 12, windows 54 are provided in each room (living room, etc. not shown) such as a living room, a dining room, and a bedroom. In the house monitoring system 10, each room is provided with an occupancy detection sensor 68 as a occupancy detection means. The occupancy detection sensor 68 is attached to at least the room in which the window 54 is installed, but may be installed in each of all the rooms that are the resident's living rooms. The occupancy detection sensor 68 is used to detect whether or not there is a resident in the room (occupancy / absence).

When detecting the occupancy of a resident, an infrared sensor can be used as the occupancy detection sensor 68, and the infrared sensor may be a passive sensor or an active sensor. Further, when detecting the occupancy of a resident, the occupancy detection sensor 68 may use a vital sensor (biological detection sensor) that detects vital information (biological information) such as heartbeat and body temperature.

Further, it is more preferable that the occupancy detection sensor 68 has a configuration that can identify not only the presence / absence but also who is present in the room, that is, the resident who is occupying the room. When identifying a resident in a room, an imaging means such as a camera can be used for the occupancy detection sensor 68, and the imaging means may capture a monochromatic image or capture a color image. Alternatively, an infrared image may be taken. The occupancy detection sensor 68 extracts a person (for example, a contour) from an image captured by the photographing means, determines whether or not the extracted person matches the physique and biological information of any resident, and is in the room. Identify the resident who is. At this time, since the imaging means captures an infrared image, the resident can be detected accurately even if the room is dark.

On the other hand, in the monitoring controller 16, each of the occupancy detection sensors 68 is connected to the occupancy detection unit 36. The occupancy detection unit 36 detects whether or not a resident is present in each room in the house 12. In addition, the occupancy detection unit 36 may be able to determine the resident who is occupying each room.

Further, in the monitoring controller 16, the closing devices 60 and 64 and the locking devices 62 and 66 are connected to the locking portion 38. The locking unit 38 closes the entrance 52 by the closing device 60, and locks the entrance 52 by the locking device 62. Further, in the locking unit 38, for each room, the fitting 54A is moved to the closing position by the closing device 64 to close the window 54, and the window 54 is locked by the locking device 66.

Further, in the monitoring controller 16, each of the closing sensor 56 and the locking detection sensor 58 is connected to the locking state detection unit 40. In the locked state detection unit 40, the closing sensor 56 is used to detect whether or not each of the entrance 52 and each window 54 is closed, and the locking detection sensor 58 is used to lock each of the entrance 52 and the window 54. Detects whether or not it is done.

The monitoring determination unit 42 of the monitoring controller 16 outputs the monitoring level set by the monitoring setting unit 34 to the notification unit 44. Further, the monitoring determination unit 42 functions as a monitoring means, and monitors the locked state of the entrance 52 and the window 54 according to the monitoring level set by the monitoring setting unit 34. Further, the monitoring determination unit 42 individually closes and locks the entrance 52 and the window 54 by controlling the operation of the locking unit 38 according to the monitoring level.

As a result, the monitoring determination unit 42 monitors the inside of the house 12 based on the detection results of the occupancy detection unit 36 and the locked state detection unit 40. At this time, when the monitoring determination unit 42 determines that an abnormality (unusual state) has been detected from the detection results of the occupancy detection unit 36 and the locked state detection unit 40, the monitoring determination unit 42 outputs the determination result to the notification unit 44.

The notification unit 44 is installed at a predetermined position in the house 12 and is connected to the notification alarm 48, and the communication unit 46 is connected to the notification unit 46. The communication unit 46 is connected to the security system 14 via the communication network 18. It is connected.

The notification unit 44 notifies the security system 14 of the monitoring level via the communication unit 46. Further, when the notification unit 44 determines that the monitoring determination unit 42 has detected an abnormality in the house 12, the notification unit 44 notifies the security system 14 of the monitoring information that is the determination result via the communication unit 46. At the same time, the notification unit 44 uses the notification alarm 48 to notify the resident at home by sounding the alarm or displaying the monitoring information on a display (not shown).

Next, the monitoring process of the housing monitoring system 10 according to the present embodiment will be described.
In the housing monitoring system 10, the monitoring controller 16 operates constantly (24 hours) by supplying power to the monitoring controller 16. The monitoring controller 16 may be connected to the emergency power supply equipment and can be operated even when the supply of commercial power is stopped.

When the monitoring controller 16 is operated, the monitoring level is set according to the resident who is at home. FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing an outline of the monitoring level setting process executed by the monitoring controller 16.

This flowchart is executed at preset time intervals, and in the first step 100, a resident who has opened the entrance door 52A by the resident sensor 50 and went out, and a resident who has unlocked the entrance door 52A and returned home. Check if it was detected. When a resident who has gone out or returned home is detected, an affirmative determination is made in step 100, and the process proceeds to step 102. In this step 102, the resident who has gone out and returned home is identified from the detection result of the resident sensor 50, and in the next step 104, the resident who is at home is identified based on the identification result.

After that, in step 106, it is confirmed whether or not all of them are out, and if all of them are out, an affirmative determination is made in step 106 and the process proceeds to step 108. In this step 108, since all the residents are absent, the monitoring level is set to 3.

Further, if a negative determination is made in step 106 because at least one resident is at home, steps 110 and 112 are executed. In step 110, it is confirmed whether or not a male (adult male) is at home, and in step 112, it is confirmed whether or not a female is at home.

Here, when the man is not at home but the woman is at home, a negative determination is made in step 110 and an affirmative determination is made in step 112, and the process proceeds to step 114. In this case, since the woman or the woman and the child are at home, the monitoring level is set to 1 in step 114. Further, when only the child is at home, neither the male nor the female is at home, so that the negative determination is made in each of steps 110 and 112, and the process proceeds to step 116. In step 116, the monitoring level is set to 2.

Further, when the man is at home, an affirmative determination is made in step 110 and the process proceeds to step 118. In this case, since at least a man is at home and everyone including the man may be at home, the monitoring level is set to 0 in step 118.

After this, in step 120, the set monitoring level is notified to the security system 14. As a result, the monitoring level is set (changed) each time the resident goes out or returns home, and the set monitoring level is notified to the security system 14, so that the security system 14 changes the monitoring level. I can grasp it.

On the other hand, the monitoring controller 16 performs monitoring processing of the house 12 according to the monitoring level. The monitoring process includes a security process for locking the entrance 52 and the window 54 according to the monitoring level and monitoring the locked state. Further, in the monitoring process, it is monitored whether or not the entrance 52, the window 54, etc. are opened even though the resident does not intend. 5 to 7 show an outline of a locking process and a monitoring process in the crime prevention process executed at preset time intervals in a flow chart.

The entrance door 52A is unlocked and opened by the resident when going out and returning home, and is closed and locked. The flowchart of FIG. 5 is repeatedly executed after the resident goes out and after the resident returns home, and in the first step 130, the entrance door 52A is closed from the detection result of the closing sensor 56 provided in the entrance 52. Check if it is. At this time, if the entrance door 52A is closed, an affirmative determination is made in step 130, the process proceeds to step 132, and it is confirmed whether or not the entrance 52 is locked.

Here, if the entrance door 52A is not closed, a negative determination is made in step 130, and the process proceeds to step 134. In step 134, the entrance door 52A is closed by using the closing device 60 provided in the entrance 52, and in the next step 136, the entrance door 52A is locked by the locking device 62 of the entrance 52. If the entrance door 52A is closed but not locked, the entrance door 52A is locked by making a negative determination in step 132 and moving to step 136.

As described above, in the housing monitoring system 10, the entrance 52 is closed and locked regardless of the monitoring level not only when the resident is absent but also when the resident is at home. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the entrance 52 from being opened by a person other than the resident, and it is possible to prevent crime at the entrance 52.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the window 54 is locked for each room or window according to the monitoring level. In the first step 140, it is confirmed whether or not the monitoring level is 3, and in step 142, it is confirmed. , Check if the monitoring level is 2.

At this time, when the monitoring level is set to 2 (when only children are at home), a negative determination is made in step 140 and an affirmative determination is made in step 142, and the process proceeds to step 144. In step 144, the occupancy detection sensor 68 detects the resident in the room, and in step 146, it is confirmed whether or not the resident is in the room.

As a result, by setting the monitoring level to 3, affirmative determination is made in step 140, and the process proceeds to step 148. Further, when the monitoring level is set to 2, the room in which the resident is not present is determined to be negative in step 146, and the process proceeds to step 148.

In step 148, it is confirmed from the detection result of the closing sensor 56 whether or not the window 54 is closed. Further, in step 150, it is confirmed from the detection result of the lock detection sensor 58 whether or not the window 54 is locked. In the case of monitoring level 0 or monitoring level 1, a negative judgment is made in each of steps 140 and 142, and when a resident is present in the room at monitoring level 2, a positive judgment is made in step 146, and the process is temporarily performed. finish.

Here, if the window of the room is not closed, an affirmative determination is made in step 148, the process proceeds to step 152, and the window 54 is closed by the closing device 64. Further, in the next step 154, the window 54 is locked by the locking device 66. Further, when the window 54 is shown but not locked, a negative determination is made in each of steps 148 and 150, the process proceeds to step 154, and the window is locked.

As described above, in the housing monitoring system 10, the window 54 of the room in which the child is not present is locked, not only when the resident is absent but also when only the child is at home. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the window 54 of the room where the resident is absent from being locked, and it is possible to effectively prevent crime according to the resident who is at home. Moreover, in the case of the monitoring level 2 in which only the child stays at home, the window 54 of the room where the child is absent is locked, so that the window 54 of the room where the child moves and is absent can be reliably locked to prevent crime.

On the other hand, in the housing monitoring system 10, the entrance 52 and the window 54 are locked according to the monitoring level, and the entrance 52 and the window 54 are monitored according to the monitoring level. Note that FIG. 7 shows an example of monitoring processing for the window 54.

In this flowchart, it is confirmed in the first step 160 whether or not the monitoring level is 3, and in the first step 162, it is confirmed whether or not the monitoring level is 2. At this time, when the monitoring level is set to 2 (when only children are at home), a negative determination is made in step 160, and an affirmative determination is made in step 162. In step 164, which is a transition to this, the occupancy detection sensor 68 detects the resident in the room, and in step 166, it is confirmed whether or not the resident is in the room.

As a result, when the monitoring level is set to 3, a positive determination is made in step 160 and the process proceeds to step 168. Further, when the monitoring level is set to 2, a negative determination is made in step 166 and the process proceeds to step 168 for a room in which no resident is present.

In step 168, it is confirmed from the detection result of the closing sensor 56 whether or not the window 54 has been opened. In step 168, it may be detected from the detection result of the lock detection sensor 58 whether or not the window 54 is unlocked even though the resident is not present.

Here, when the window 54 of the room in which no one is present is opened, an affirmative determination is made in step 168, and the process proceeds to step 170. In step 170, the notification alarm 48 notifies the alarm, and the security system 14 is notified that the window 54 has been opened by a person other than the resident.

Further, in the case of monitoring level 0 or monitoring level 1, a negative determination is made in each of steps 160 and 162, and the process proceeds to step 172. In this step 172, it is confirmed whether or not the monitoring level is 1, and if the monitoring level is 1, an affirmative determination is made in step 172 and the process proceeds to step 174. In step 174, it is confirmed whether or not the resident is in the room, and if the resident is in the room, an affirmative determination is made in step 176, and the process is temporarily terminated. If the monitoring level is 0, a negative determination is made in step 172, and the process is temporarily terminated.

On the other hand, when the resident is not present in the room, a negative determination is made in step 176 and the process proceeds to step 178. In this step 178, it is confirmed whether or not the window 54, which should have been closed, has been opened. At this time, if the window 54 is not closed or if the window 54 is not newly opened, a negative determination is made in step 178.

Here, when the window 54 that should have been closed is opened, an affirmative determination is made in step 178, the process proceeds to step 170, an alarm is notified by the notification alarm 48, and the window 54 is opened by a person other than the resident. Notify the security system 14 that it has been done.

Therefore, the housing monitoring system 10 notifies an alarm when the window 54 of the room in which the child is not present is opened, not only when the resident is absent but also when only the child is at home. Further, in the housing monitoring system 10, when only a woman or a woman and a child are at home, an alarm is notified when the window 54 of a room in which neither the woman nor the child is present is opened. With this, the housing monitoring system 10 can notify the security system 14 of the occurrence of an abnormality while at least one of the woman and the child is at home.

Regarding the entrance 52, when it is detected that a person other than the resident has opened (unlocked) the entrance door 52A, an alarm is notified by the notification alarm 48 and the security system 14 is notified.

In this way, the house monitoring system 10 detects the resident who is at home by the resident sensor 50, and sets the monitoring level according to the resident who is at home. Further, the monitoring controller 16 monitors the window 54 according to the monitoring level by using the closing sensor 56 and the locking detection sensor 58 provided in the windows 54 of each room of the house 12. Therefore, effective monitoring for crime prevention according to the resident who is at home in the house 12 becomes possible.

Further, since the monitoring controller 16 sets the monitoring level according to the resident information of the resident who is at home, it is easy to set the monitoring condition for effective crime prevention according to the resident who is at home. Therefore, the window 54 can be effectively monitored for crime prevention. Moreover, in the housing monitoring system 10, it is not necessary for the resident to manually set the monitoring level, and the monitoring level can be smoothly set (changed) when the resident at home (combination of residents) changes. ..

Further, since the monitoring controller 16 detects whether or not a resident is present in each room by the occupancy detection sensor 68, it is possible to select a room in which the resident is absent and effectively monitor the window 54.

Further, since the monitoring controller 16 notifies the security system of information according to the monitoring result, it is possible to notify the security system of detection of an abnormal unlocking of the window 54 or the like. Moreover, the monitoring controller 16 can notify the inside of the house 12 by the notification alarm 48.

On the other hand, in the security company 20, the security system 14 is notified of the monitoring level of the housing monitoring system 10 in the house 12. As a result, the security company 20 can take an immediate response system for security guards. Further, since the monitoring controller 16 notifies the occurrence of an abnormality, the security company 20 can smoothly execute security operations such as dispatching security guards and patrols in response to the notification of the monitoring controller 16.

Further, the monitoring controller 16 notifies the security system 14 of the monitoring level. Therefore, the security company 20 can add up the time for each monitoring level. Therefore, since the security company 20 can calculate the charge (billing) for each monitoring level, the security content can be set for each monitoring level between the house 12 and the security company 20. As a result, for example, at monitoring level 3, security guards can be patrolled and guards can be dispatched when an abnormality occurs, and at monitoring level 1 and monitoring level 2, security guards can be dispatched when an abnormality occurs. Can make a contract. Therefore, effective security contracts and security can be made according to the resident's home situation.

In the present embodiment, the monitoring controller 16 has been described to detect whether or not a resident is present in each room, but the image analysis means is used as the occupancy detection sensor 68 to analyze the captured image. You may try to identify the resident who is in the room by doing so. Thereby, for example, at the monitoring level 1, it is possible to detect that the child moves to another room with the window 54 open.

For example, since image analysis can recognize whether a resident is a man, a woman, or a child, the monitoring level (surveillance condition for crime prevention) can be set using this recognition result. It is possible to obtain an effect that the occupancy detection means can also have a function as a home detection means.

Further, at the monitoring level 1, when moving from the room where the child was in the room to another room, the window 54 of the room where the child was in (the room before the move) is not locked, but the room is in the room. When the child detected by the detection sensor 68 moves to another room and the occupant is no longer detected, the window 54 of that room can be locked. As a result, it is possible to prevent the woman at home from noticing that the window 54 has been opened by the child and the crime prevention property from being lowered.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in the monitoring level 2, the window 54 of the room where the child is absent is locked. For example, the monitoring level is set so that the child as a specific person is elementary school student or younger or infant or younger. May be good. At this monitoring level, if a child is detected by the occupancy detection sensor 68, the window 54 of the room may be locked.

That is, when a child such as an infant moves the room, the window 54 of the moved room may be locked. As a result, it is possible to prevent a child (particularly an infant) from being alone in a room having a low security property in which the window 54 is not locked. In addition, since it is possible to restrict children from being near the unlocked window 54, it is possible to improve crime prevention against a specific person.

In addition, relatives, acquaintances of residents, children, and the like may visit and stay in the house 12. At this time, for example, by using the imaging means as the resident sensor 50, the resident can be detected, so that it is possible to identify whether the resident is a child, a woman, or a man from the captured image. As a result, the monitoring level including the resident and the resident can be set based on the identification result. Therefore, by monitoring the locked state of the entrance 52 and the window 54 of each room based on the set monitoring level, it is high. Security is obtained.

In the housing monitoring system 10 according to the present embodiment, a fire alarm system or the like may be connected to the monitoring controller 16. Since the monitoring controller 16 can identify the room in which the resident is occupying by the occupancy detection sensor 68, when the fire alarm system detects a fire, the resident can be urged to evacuate smoothly. The system 10 can function as a disaster prevention system or the like.

Further, in the present embodiment described above, the housing monitoring system 10 is provided in the house 12, and monitoring for crime prevention according to the resident at home has been described. However, the building in which the monitoring system is provided may be an accommodation facility such as a villa, a rental villa, or a public accommodation facility. In this case, by registering the resident information in advance as the attribute information of the resident staying in the building, the resident who visited the building and the resident of the building can be identified. As a result, the monitoring conditions for crime prevention of the building can be set according to the resident, and the monitoring for effective crime prevention according to the resident can be performed.
