Description

The present invention provides a security system having a security device that monitors intrusions into a surveillance area such as a building in a plurality of security modes, and a mobile terminal that can remotely switch between security modes through communication with the security device, and The present invention relates to a mobile terminal used in a system and a program for the mobile terminal.

Conventionally, there has been known a system that allows a user to perform a remote switching operation of a security mode using a mobile terminal from a position away from a security target such as a user's home.

For example, in Patent Document 1 below, a security application installed in a mobile terminal such as a smartphone is used to enable remote set/release operations to the security device from the mobile terminal, and mode switching result by the security device is obtained and displayed on a mobile terminal.

JP 2018-137673 A

However, in the prior art such as Patent Document 1, when the user needs to switch the security mode, for example, when returning home or going out, the user operates the mobile terminal to activate the security application and switch the mode. It is necessary to perform a complicated operation of displaying an operation screen for the security mode and selecting the security mode to switch to on the operation screen. Such an operation is particularly troublesome to the user, for example, when the user's hands are occupied by baggage or when the mobile terminal is stored in a bag.

In view of the circumstances as described above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a security system, a mobile terminal, and a program capable of improving user convenience during mode switching operations.

In order to achieve the above object, a security system according to one aspect of the present invention includes a security device that monitors intrusions into a surveillance area in a plurality of security modes, and a remote switching operation between the security modes through communication with the security device. A security system comprising a portable terminal capable of carrying out any of the following: a storage means; a determination means; a control means; and a communication means. The storage means stores mode identification information indicating the security mode set in the surveillance area. The determination means determines whether or not the mobile terminal has moved from within the monitored area to outside the monitored area, or determines whether the portable terminal has moved outside the monitored area to a first area within a predetermined distance range near the monitored area. It is determined whether or not the vehicle has entered from the second area outside the predetermined distance range. The control means causes the portable terminal to display a switching screen on which the switching operation of the security mode can be input according to the result of the determination and the security mode that has been set. The communication means transmits a request for switching the security mode when the switching operation is input on the switching screen.

With this configuration, the security system displays a switching screen that allows one-step switching of the security mode without depending on the user's operation when it is necessary to switch the security mode. can be improved. Here, the first area is an area that may exist immediately before the user moves into the monitored area, such as a range of several meters around a house.

The mobile terminals may include a first mobile terminal possessed by a user, and a second mobile terminal that is a wearable terminal that is paired with the first mobile terminal and worn by the user.
In this case, the first mobile terminal may have the determination means, the acquisition means for acquiring information indicating the security mode set in the surveillance area, the communication means, and the control means. Preferably, the control means may transmit a screen control instruction instructing the second portable terminal to display the switching screen according to the result of the determination and the set security mode.
Further, in this case, the second mobile terminal includes detection means for detecting a wearing state of the second mobile terminal, and an unlocking means for releasing the operation restriction of the second mobile terminal when the wearing state continues. display means for displaying the switching screen based on the screen control instruction; and when a switching operation is input on the switching screen, the security device via the communication means of the first portable terminal. and switching request means for transmitting a request for switching the security mode to the security mode.

As a result, even in a situation where the user cannot operate the first portable terminal immediately, such as when the first mobile terminal is in a bag, the user's convenience can be further improved by enabling the switching operation on the wearable terminal. can. Here, the first mobile terminal is, for example, a smart phone, and the second mobile terminal is, for example, a wearable terminal (smart watch, smart band, smart ring, smart glasses, etc.). Further, the control means may vibrate the second mobile terminal in addition to displaying the switching screen. The monitored area is typically a building such as a house or office, or a room in the building, but it may be an outdoor space or the like.

When the user performs a predetermined authentication operation while wearing the second portable terminal, the releasing means may release the operation restriction until the wearing state ends.

Here, the predetermined authentication operation is, for example, inputting a predetermined passcode or password, screen operation such as swiping, performing face authentication by facing the screen, tapping the fingerprint sensor to perform fingerprint authentication, etc. but not limited to these operations.

When the determining means determines that the first portable terminal has moved from within the surveillance area to outside the surveillance area, and the set security mode is the security cancellation mode. Alternatively, the second portable terminal may be caused to display the switching screen on which a switching operation for switching from the security release mode to the security set mode can be input.

Here, the movement out of the monitoring area is detected, for example, by detecting that the position measured by the GPS of the first mobile terminal has moved outside the predetermined determination area, or by detecting that the first mobile terminal and the It may be determined by detecting that the received signal strength has become equal to or less than a predetermined value depending on the communication status with a communication terminal such as a beacon terminal.

The control means determines whether or not the user is the last person to leave the surveillance area, based on a predetermined operation by the user or location information of another user linked with the user, and When the user is the last person to leave and the set security mode is the security release mode, the switching screen may be displayed on which a switching operation to the security set mode can be input.

As a result, the security system erroneously prompts the user to switch to the security set mode when the user is not the last person to leave (there are other users remaining in the monitored area). You can prevent it from happening.

The predetermined operation may be an operation of holding the second mobile terminal over a communication device installed near an exit of the surveillance area capable of proximity communication with the second mobile terminal. In this case, the control means may determine that the user is the last person to leave when proximity communication is established with the communication device by the operation.

As a result, the security system can easily determine the final exiter. Here, when the first mobile terminal determines that the user is the last person to leave, it registers information (such as a flag) indicating this fact, and determines that the user has moved out of the monitoring area within a predetermined period of time (for example, 5 minutes). If not, the registered information may be deleted.

When determining that the user is the last person to leave, the control means determines whether or not the security mode can be switched to the security set mode based on information received from sensors in the surveillance area. If it is determined that switching is not possible, information indicating that fact may be output to the second portable terminal.

As a result, the security system can prevent the user from being forced to return to the surveillance area after going out due to the state in which switching to the security set mode is disabled. Here, for example, the control means may determine that switching to the security set mode is not possible in a state in which the opening of the window is detected by the window opening detection sensor in the monitored area. Information indicating that switching is not possible may be displayed on the screen of the second mobile terminal, or may be output as voice from the speaker of the second mobile terminal.

When the control means determines that the first mobile terminal has entered the first zone from the second zone and the set security mode is the security set mode, the security set The switching screen may be displayed on which a switching operation can be input from the mode to the security cancellation mode.

Here, the movement from the second area outside the monitoring area to the first area is detected, for example, by detecting that the position measured by the GPS of the first mobile terminal has moved into a predetermined judgment area, It may be determined by detecting that the received signal strength exceeds a predetermined value depending on the communication status between the terminal and a communication terminal such as a beacon terminal installed in the surveillance area.

The storage means may store, each time the security mode is switched, user identification information for identifying a user who has performed the switching operation of the security mode in association with the mode identification information. In this case, when the set security mode is the security release mode, the control means determines whether the currently set security mode is changed based on the user identification information corresponding to the mode identification information indicating the security release mode. The second mobile terminal may be caused to output information about the security release mode and the user who requested switching to the security release mode.

As a result, the security system allows the user to know that no mode switching operation is required, and to know who is in the surveillance area. The information may be displayed on the screen of the second mobile terminal, or may be output as sound from the speaker of the second mobile terminal.

The control means performs the switching when the switching operation is input on the switching screen and when it is determined that the first mobile terminal has moved within a predetermined communication range from the security device. You may submit a request.

As a result, the security system can prevent the security from being released before the user approaches the door of the monitored area, thereby ensuring greater security.

When the control means determines that the first mobile terminal has moved into the surveillance area, the control means operates the security device during at least the period from when the user leaves the surveillance area to when the user returns to the surveillance area. The second mobile terminal may be caused to output usage evaluation information including an evaluation regarding the usage status.

Thereby, the security system can give the user a sense of use of the security system. For example, if the user has set security when going out this time, the control means notifies the user that "usage is 100 points", accumulates information as to whether or not security has been set when going out for a certain period of time, If the number of forgetting to set the device tends to increase, a message urging the user to use the device may be sent. The usage evaluation information may be displayed on the screen of the second mobile terminal, or may be output as audio from the speaker of the second mobile terminal.

A mobile terminal according to another aspect of the present invention is a mobile terminal capable of remotely switching between security modes through communication with a security device that monitors intrusions into a surveillance area in a plurality of security modes, comprising: storage means; It has determination means, display control means, and transmission means. The storage means stores mode identification information indicating the security mode set in the surveillance area. The determination means determines whether or not the mobile terminal has moved from within the monitoring area to outside the monitoring area, or whether the mobile terminal has moved outside the monitoring area to a first area within a predetermined distance range in the vicinity of the monitoring area. It is determined whether or not the vehicle has entered from the second area outside the predetermined distance range. The display control means displays a switching screen on which the switching operation of the security mode can be input according to the result of the determination and the security mode that has been set. The communication means transmits a request for switching the security mode when the switching operation is input on the switching screen.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[System configuration]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a security system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, this security system has a security device 100, a smart phone 200, a wearable terminal 300, and a center server 400 of a security center.

The security device 100 is installed, for example, in a surveillance area (security target) such as a house or office, monitors an abnormality in the surveillance area, and notifies a security center of the detected abnormality. Although the details will be described later, the security device 100 guards the monitored area in a plurality of security modes (for example, an outing alert mode, a home security mode, a partial set mode, a home mode, etc.).

The smart phone 200 is a terminal possessed by a resident of a house in the surveillance area, and is a mobile computer such as a smart phone, a mobile phone, or a tablet PC (Personal Computer). It can be connected to a mobile network such as Wi-Fi. When multiple users live or move in a security target building, multiple smartphones 200 may exist for each security target.

The smartphone 200 can switch the security mode by communicating with the security device 100 . As shown in the figure, the smartphone 200 may exist inside a house that is within the surveillance area, or may exist outside the surveillance area, such as in an office where the user works.

When the smart phone 200 is in the surveillance area, it can communicate with the security device 100 by short-range wireless communication such as BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and Wi-Fi, in addition to the mobile network. The security mode switching operation is input on an application that provides security mode information and other security information (hereinafter referred to as a “security application”) installed in the smartphone 200 .

The wearable terminal 300 is a device that can be attached to a part of the body of the user of the smart phone 200, such as a smart watch, wrist band, smart ring (with projection function), smart glasses, and the like. The wearable terminal 300 is mainly used by the user to input switching operation of the security mode.

The smartphone 200 is paired with the wearable terminal 300, and after making various conditional judgments, notifies the wearable terminal 300 and controls the screen (display of a screen that allows input of switching operation of security mode, etc.). conduct.

The wearable terminal 300 enters a locked state (an operation-disabled state) when attachment or detachment to the user is detected, and the user can operate the wearable terminal 300 by performing a predetermined unlocking operation. The predetermined release operation includes, for example, a predetermined passcode or password input operation, a screen operation such as swiping, a predetermined gesture input operation, a face authentication operation by turning one's face to the screen, a fingerprint authentication operation by tapping a fingerprint sensor, or For example, a cancellation operation is performed on the smartphone 200 that is the pairing destination.

In addition, when the wearable terminal 300 is worn by the user and the lock state is released, the wearable terminal 300 assumes that the user has been authenticated while the wearable terminal 300 is being worn. The operation can be performed as unnecessary. The wearing state can be determined by, for example, presence/absence of pulse detection by a pulse sensor mounted on the wearable terminal 300 .

Therefore, when smartphone 200 displays on wearable terminal 300 a screen (hereinafter also simply referred to as a switching screen) on which a security mode switching operation can be input, the user does not need to unlock wearable terminal 300 again. , security mode switching operation can be performed in a state in which personal identification has been performed (security is also ensured). Further, even when smartphone 200 is in a locked state, wearable terminal 300 can be used to perform a switching operation without unlocking the smartphone.

The security device 100 also has an operation unit (such as an operation panel) installed on the wall surface of the house, which is the surveillance area. It is also possible to switch the above security mode. Depending on the object to be operated by the operation unit, for example, an authentication process of inserting an authentication card given to each user into the operation unit may be required. In the present embodiment, the operation unit may also be referred to as a "main body operation unit" with respect to the smartphone 200 capable of remote control.

The center server 400 is a server installed in a security center operated by a security company, and can communicate with the security device 100 and the smartphone 200 via the Internet. A traffic controller is permanently stationed at the security center, and when an abnormality report is received from the security device 100, necessary measures such as dispatching a security guard to a security target of the security device 100 are taken.

The center server 400 also stores information such as the location of the building, which is the monitored area, and information regarding security contracted users who live or reside in the building. For example, the center server 400 pairs the smartphones 200 and security devices 100 of each user who lives or moves in a building that is a surveillance area, and stores information for grouping them for each surveillance area for authentication. . The center server 400 also stores information on the authentication card paired and grouped in the same manner as the smart phone 200 .

Switching of the security mode is executed according to the flow shown in (1) to (8) in FIG. That is, (1) when the smartphone 200 requests the center server 400 to switch the security mode via the mobile network based on the security mode switching operation by the wearable terminal 300, (2) the center server 400 sends the smartphone 200 (to which group), and if the authentication is passed, the security mode switching request is transferred to the security device 100, thereby (3) requesting the security device 100 to switch the security mode. Then, (4) the security device 100 switches the security mode in response to the security mode switching request, and (5) notifies the center server 400 of the completion of switching the security mode.

Then, (6) the center server 400 receives the notification and sends a push notification of mode switching completion to an API for push notification on the Internet (for example, Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) or Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)). request to do so. (7) Upon receipt of the request, the API sends a push notification of the mode switching completion to the smartphone 200 , and (8) the smartphone 200 receives the push notification and displays the mode switching completion on the wearable terminal 300 .

As described above, in the security mode switching process, the center server 400 only mediates (and authenticates) communication between the security device 100 and the smartphone 200. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the center server actually Communication mediated by 400 may also be described as communication between the security device 100 and the smartphone 200 by omitting the mediating process.

In this embodiment, when the user terminal 200 detects that the user goes out or returns home, the user terminal 200 displays a switching screen on which a switching operation of the security mode can be input to the paired wearable terminal 300 according to the set security mode. It is possible to perform screen control to

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the security device 100. As shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the security device 100 includes a main device 101, various sensors 10 and 12, and the like.

The intrusion monitoring sensor 10 detects an intruder, such as a sensor that detects opening and closing of a door or window, a sensor that detects heat generated by a human body as a heat source, a sensor that detects that infrared rays are blocked by a human body, and the like. sensor. The intrusion monitoring sensors are roughly classified into those installed in the outer peripheral area of the building, which is the monitoring area, and those installed in other areas. Furthermore, the intrusion monitoring sensors installed in the perimeter area of the building are classified into those installed in the doorway area and those installed in other areas. The fire sensor 12 is a sensor that detects heat and smoke associated with the occurrence of fire.

The main device 101 comprises a control section 110 , a notification section 130 , a notification section 140 , a display section 150 , an operation section 160 and a communication interface (I/F) 170 .

The notification unit 130 notifies the security center via a communication line when an abnormality occurs. The notification unit 140 generates various notification sounds. The display unit 150 is composed of an LED (Light Emitting Diode), a liquid crystal display, etc., and performs various displays on the main device and outside the main device, respectively.

The communication I/F 170 is an interface for wired or wireless communication with various sensors. The communication I/F 170 also functions as an interface that performs wireless communication with the smart phone 200 as a remote control unit for switching security modes.

The operation unit 160 includes, for example, operation buttons, a touch panel, and the like, and receives user operations such as switching operation of the security mode. When the operation unit 160 is a touch panel, the operation unit 160 can be integrated with the display unit 150 described above.

The operation unit 160 also includes an emergency notification button that the user operates when he is attacked by an intruder or when he feels something is wrong with his body, and a button for canceling the problem if the user accidentally causes it. There are also buttons used for operations other than the security mode switching operation, such as a cancel operation button.

The control unit 110 is composed of a processor, a memory, etc., and is a part that controls the operation of the security device. It implements the mode control means 118 and the like. The mode storage means 112 stores each security mode together with its identification information, and stores information about the currently set security mode among them, for example, as mode identification information. The monitoring control information storage means 114 stores installation areas of various sensors, address codes, etc., and stores the correspondence between security modes and various sensors to be in a monitoring state. Intrusion monitoring sensor detection time processing means 116 detects an abnormality based on the current security mode stored in mode storage means 112 and the contents stored in monitoring control information storage means 114 when an intrusion monitoring sensor detects an abnormality. A process of making a judgment and outputting an abnormal signal, a process of determining and outputting an alarm sound, and the like are executed. The mode control unit 118 executes the security mode setting (switching) process based on a mode switching operation by the user using the operation unit 160 and the smartphone 200 . When the security mode is changed, the mode control means 118 causes the mode storage means 112 to store the switching destination security mode as the current security mode.

Also, although not shown, the main device 101 includes a plurality of smartphones 200 paired with the security device 100 and grouped, the authentication card, and group setting information related to the identification information of each user (user name, user ID, etc.). I also remember

[Security mode type]
Here, the types of security modes that the security device 100 has will be described. In this embodiment, the security device 100 has, as security modes, an outing alert mode (unattended monitoring mode), a home alert mode (manned monitoring mode), a partial set mode, and an alert release (at home) mode.

Monitoring and emergency reporting by the fire sensor 12 are performed regardless of the security mode. Occurrence of abnormality due to these is reported by another alarm sound. On the other hand, the monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 differs depending on the security mode.

The outing alert mode is a mode that is set when all the users of the building to be guarded leave (go out) from the building to be guarded. In this mode, the monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 is performed by all the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 installed in the security object.

The at-home alert mode is a mode that is used when the user is inside the guarded area and wants to monitor an intrusion from the outside, and is particularly used at bedtime. In this mode, monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 is performed only by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 installed in the outer peripheral area of the building such as the window, the entrance door, and the garden among all the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 .

The partial set mode is a mode used when a security target is partially guarded, for example, when a user is only on the first floor of a building that is a surveillance area and wants to monitor the second floor. In this mode, the monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 is performed only by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 existing in the part to be guarded. Note that the partial set mode can exist as one form of the above-described stay-at-home alert mode.

The alert release mode is a mode used when the user spends time at home with the windows open. In this mode, monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 is not performed.

[Configuration of mobile terminal]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the smart phone 200. As shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the smartphone 200 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 21, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 22, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 23, an input/output interface 25, and a bus 24 that connects them to each other. Prepare.

The CPU 21 appropriately accesses the RAM 23 and the like as necessary, and comprehensively controls the entire blocks of the smartphone 200 while performing various arithmetic processing. The ROM 22 is a non-volatile memory that permanently stores firmware such as an OS, programs, and various parameters to be executed by the CPU 21 . The RAM 23 is used as a work area for the CPU 21 and temporarily holds the OS, various applications being executed, and various data being processed.

The input/output interface 25 is connected with a display unit 26, an operation reception unit 27, a storage unit 28, a communication unit 29, and the like.

The display unit 26 is a display device using, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an OELD (Organic ElectroLuminescence Display), a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), or the like.

The operation reception unit 27 is, for example, a touch panel, buttons, keys, or other input devices. If the operation reception unit 27 is a touch panel, the touch panel can be integrated with the display unit 26 .

The storage unit 28 is, for example, a flash memory (SSD; Solid State Drive), other solid state memory, or a non-volatile memory such as a HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The storage unit 28 stores the OS, various applications, and various data.

Particularly in this embodiment, the storage unit 28 stores the security application and other programs for the smart phone 200 to perform the security mode switching process in conjunction with the wearable terminal 300 and the security device 100 . The security application includes information about the security mode currently set in the security device 100, data (character information and image information) necessary for displaying security mode switching screens to be displayed on the wearable terminal 300 and other screens, setting information for determining whether or not the switching operation is possible according to the position of , and location information of the house (for example, indicating the central position of the house) for determining whether the smartphone 200 is inside or outside the surveillance area. latitude/longitude information) is also stored.

Then, the CPU 21 determines whether the switching operation is possible according to the position acquisition means for acquiring the position of the smartphone 200, the communication means for transmitting a mode switching request signal to the security device 100 in accordance with the switching operation, and the position of the smartphone 200. It functions as switching determination means.

The communication unit 29 is, for example, various modules for wireless communication such as LTE, BLE, and Wi-Fi, and communicates with the security device 100 and the center server 400 via a mobile network, a short-range wireless communication network, and the Internet. communication processing. A wireless communication module such as BLE and Wi-Fi in the communication unit 29 is responsible for communication between the smartphone 200 and the wearable terminal 300 .

The communication unit 29 also functions as the position acquisition unit that acquires position information of the smartphone 200 . Positioning information is acquired using, for example, a positioning method using a GPS (Global Positioning System), a mobile phone base station, or the like. Instead of this, for example, when the smartphone 200 exists within the communication range of the security device 100 using the short-range wireless communication or the specified low-power wireless communication with the security device 100 in the surveillance area (inside the house), , smartphone 200 exists within the monitored area, and if it is out of the communication range, it may be determined that it exists outside the monitored area. Moreover, a plurality of positioning means such as GPS and short-range wireless communication may be combined as necessary to detect the position of smartphone 200 more accurately.

Although not shown, the basic hardware configuration of wearable terminal 300 is similar to that of smart phone 200 .

[Mode switching operation enable/disable setting]
FIG. 4 is a table conceptually showing the setting of switching operation permission/prohibition to a plurality of security modes according to the position of the smartphone 200 by the smartphone 200 . In addition, below, it demonstrates that partial set mode is included in the stay-at-home guard mode among each guard mode mentioned above.

The arrows in the upper part of the figure indicate the security mode transitions (switchable routes) that are allowed in the security device 100 as a premise. In the figure, the direction indicated by the arrow indicates that mode switching in that direction is possible with respect to the combination of the switching source (current) security mode and the switching destination security mode.

As shown by these arrows, in the security device 100, between the alert release mode and the home security mode, and between the alert release mode and the outing security mode, each is a switching source (current security mode). However, it is possible to switch between the stay-at-home alert mode and the go-out alert mode. mode and the switching destination is the outing alert mode) is possible, but the reverse switching from the outing alert mode to the home alert mode (that is, the switching source is the outing alert mode and the switching destination is the home alert mode) is possible. if any) is not possible.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, on the premise of the switchable route permitted by the security device 100 described above, whether or not switching to the security mode of the switching destination is allowed depends on the location of the smartphone 200 on which the switching operation is performed. I'm letting In FIG. 4 , the security mode shown in each column indicates the switching destination security mode that is the target of the mode switching operation, and each row indicates the location of the smartphone 200 on which the switching operation has been performed. ” indicates that the mode switching operation to the security mode of the switching destination is possible (accepted), and “x” indicates that the mode switching operation is impossible (rejected). In the present embodiment, the location of the smartphone 200 is classified as inside the house (within the surveillance area) or outside the house (outside the surveillance area) of the user who owns the smartphone 200. The house includes at least the house and the garden. It may also include the entire site of the house it contains.

Then, as shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, when the smart phone 200 is present in the surveillance area (inside the house), any switching operation to the security mode is permitted. On the other hand, when the smartphone 200 is outside the surveillance area (outside the house), switching operations to the alert release mode and the outing alert mode are allowed, but switching operations to the home alert mode are rejected. This is because the stay-at-home alert mode is a mode that restricts intrusion from outside the surveillance area while the user is at home (manned surveillance), and it is not possible to assume a case where the user switches to this mode while the user is out.

As a result, the user mistakenly switches to the home alert mode from outside the monitoring area, causing false alarms by other users such as the user's family members who are inside the house, or otherwise being monitored in the outing alert mode. In some cases, it is possible to prevent security from becoming insufficient.

The security application, which corresponds to FIG. 3, includes switchable route setting information between security modes according to the combination of switching source/switching destination, and switching to the security mode according to the position of the smartphone 200 (inside/outside the surveillance area). For example, permission/prohibition setting information is stored in the storage unit 28, and when there is a mode switching operation from the user, the permission/prohibition of the mode switching operation is determined by referring to the setting information.

The state of the security mode currently set in the surveillance area is notified from the security device 100 to the security application of the smartphone 200 each time the security device 100 switches the security mode, and the latest security mode state is displayed by the security application. is stored as Alternatively, the state of the security mode may be stored in the center server 400 and acquired by the security application from the center server 400 at the timing when the security application detects that the user is going out/home. Further, the security mode information may be stored in association with the security mode switching operator information.

[Security system operation]
Next, the operation of the security system configured as above will be described. The operation is executed by cooperation between hardware such as the CPU 21 and the communication unit 29 of the smartphone 200 and software (security application) stored in the storage unit 28 . In the following description, for convenience, the security application or the CPU 21 of the smart phone 200 is assumed to be the operating body.

(Behavior when going out)
First, the operation when the user leaves the surveillance area will be described. When the user goes out, the smart phone 200 displays a switching screen on the wearable terminal 300 that enables switching to the outing alert mode when the security mode is set to the alert release mode when the user's going out is detected. to control.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing the security mode switching process by the smart phone 200 when the user goes out. FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of security mode switching processing by the security system when the user goes out.

As a premise of this process, a tag (RF tag) readable by the wearable terminal 300 is installed near the final door (entrance door) of the monitored area (house), and the user is identified as the final exiter. When the determined user holds the wearable terminal 300 over the tag and reads the predetermined identification information from the tag, the smartphone 200 can detect that the last person to leave is about to go out. Instead of the tag, a medium on which a readable code such as a two-dimensional code is printed may be installed, or a reader device may be installed to read predetermined identification information from the wearable terminal 300 held over the reader device. , the information may be received by the smart phone 200 to detect that the last person leaving is about to go out. In this way, when an operation is performed to hold the wearable terminal 300 over a communication device capable of close proximity communication with the wearable terminal 300, it is determined that the operator is the final exiter.

This is because if there are multiple residents, such as family members, in a house that is a surveillance area, they may be inside the house when they go out. This is because it is necessary to avoid prompting the user to perform the security setting operation when there is a person in the room, as this may result in (false alarm). If there is only one resident in the house, the process of reading the tag and determining the last person to leave may be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 5, first, the CPU 21 of the smart phone 200 determines whether or not the last person to leave has read the tag (step 51).

In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the CPU 21 causes the wearable terminal 300 to read predetermined identification information from the tag (step 71) and transmit the reading result to the smartphone 200 (step 72), thereby reading the tag. can be determined (step 73).

When it is determined that the tag has been read (Yes), the CPU 21 determines whether or not the security setting (switching to the outing security mode) is possible (step 52).

That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the CPU 21 inquires of the security device 100 whether or not security is set (step 74), and the security device 100 determines whether or not the security is set based on the detection status of the security sensors in the monitored area. (Step 75), and the result is transmitted to the smart phone 200 (Step 76). For example, the security device 100 determines that the security setting cannot be performed when the window opening detection sensor detects that the window is open. Based on the determination result received from the security device 100, the CPU 21 determines whether switching to the outing alert mode is possible (step 76).

When it is determined that the security setting is not possible (step 52 in FIG. 5, No in step 77 in FIG. 6), the CPU 21 notifies the wearable terminal 300 of this (step 53 in FIG. 5, step 6 in FIG. 6). 78). Based on the notification, the wearable terminal 300 outputs a screen display or a voice from the speaker to the effect that the security setting is not possible (step 79 in FIG. 6). As a result, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the user finds out that the security setting is impossible after leaving the house, and has to go back inside the house. It should be noted that the security set approval/disapproval determination process (step 52) and the notification process (step 53) may be omitted, or may be performed after detection of going out (Yes in step 54).

Subsequently, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the user's going out (moving out of the monitored area) has been detected (step 54 in FIG. 5). Here, whether or not the user has gone out is determined based on whether or not the position measured by the GPS of smartphone 200 has moved outside a predetermined determination area (position range of the monitored area). Instead of this, the determination may be made based on the communication status between the smartphone 200 and a terminal such as a beacon terminal installed in the surveillance area (when the received signal strength becomes equal to or less than a predetermined value, the user goes out).

When going out is detected (Yes in step 54 in FIG. 5, step 80 in FIG. 6), the CPU 21 refers to the security mode currently set in the surveillance area (step 55 in FIG. 5, step 81 in FIG. 6). . As described above, information on the currently set security mode is notified from the security device 100 to the security application each time the security device 100 switches the security mode, and is stored as the latest security mode state. , the CPU 21 refers to the information.

If it is determined that the currently set security mode is the outing security mode (Yes in step 56), the CPU 21 notifies the wearable terminal 300 of information indicating that security has been set (step 57 in FIG. 5, FIG. 6 steps 82, 83). The wearable terminal 300 receives the notification and either displays the information indicating that the security has been set on the screen or outputs it by voice (step 84 in FIG. 6).

On the other hand, when it is determined that the security mode currently set is the alert release mode (No in step 56), the CPU 21 controls the wearable terminal 300 to display a switching screen that allows switching operation to the outing alert mode. (step 58 in FIG. 5, step 84 in FIG. 6). At this time, the CPU 21 may control so as to vibrate the wearable terminal 300 together with displaying the switching screen.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a switching screen to the outing alert mode displayed on wearable terminal 300 under the control of smartphone 200. As shown in FIG.

As shown in the figure, the switching screen 30 for switching to the outing alert mode includes a switching button 31 for inputting an instruction to switch to the outing alert mode, along with text information prompting the user to set the security mode (outing alert mode). and a cancel button 32 for canceling switching.

Subsequently, the CPU 21 determines whether or not an operation for switching to the outing alert mode has been input by tapping the switching button 31 on the switching screen 30 (step 59 in FIG. 5). The CPU 21 receives from the wearable terminal 300 a request for switching to the outing alert mode based on the switching operation, and determines that the switching operation has been input (steps 85 and 86 in FIG. 6). Instead of tapping the switching button 31, a configuration may be adopted in which the user's utterance such as "set" is recognized by voice and the switching operation is received.

When determining that an operation to switch to the outing alert mode has been input (Yes in step 59), the CPU 21 transmits a switching request signal to the outing alert mode to the security device 100 (step 60 in FIG. 5, step 6 in FIG. 6). 87).

The security device 100 that has received the switching request switches the security mode from the security release mode to the outing security mode by the mode control means 118 (step 88 in FIG. 6), and transmits a switching completion notification indicating switching completion to the smartphone 200 ( step 89 in FIG. 6).

Then, when the CPU 21 receives the switching completion notification, the CPU 21 notifies the wearable terminal 300 to that effect and displays it on the screen or outputs it by voice (step 61 in FIG. 5, step 90 in FIG. 6).

(Action when returning home)
Next, the operation when the user returns to the monitored area (goes home) will be described. When the user returns home, smartphone 200 displays a switching screen on wearable terminal 300 that allows switching to the alert release mode if the security mode is set to the outing alert mode when the user's return home is detected. to control. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of security mode switching processing by smartphone 200 when the user returns home. FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of security mode switching processing by the security system when the user returns home.

As shown in both figures, the CPU 21 first determines whether or not the user's coming home has been detected (step 91 in FIG. 8). Here, "returning home" does not refer to entering a surveillance area such as a house, but to approaching a surveillance area. It refers to entering an area (first area) within (for example, several meters) from an area (second area) outside the predetermined distance range. This assumes that when going out, the security setting operation is performed after (immediately after) the user leaves the house, whereas when returning home, the security setting operation is performed before the user enters the house. This is because it is assumed that the security release operation is performed.

Therefore, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the user has returned home by determining whether or not the GPS positioning position of the smartphone 200 has moved from the second zone to the first zone (area near the monitored zone). Alternatively, the determination may be made based on the communication status between the smartphone 200 and a terminal such as a beacon terminal installed near the monitoring area (the first area) (when the received signal strength reaches or exceeds a predetermined value, return home).

When returning home is detected (Yes in step 91 of FIG. 8, step 101 of FIG. 9), the CPU 21 refers to the security mode currently set in the surveillance area (step 92 of FIG. 8, step 102 of FIG. 9). .

When determining that the currently set security mode is the security release mode (Yes in step 93), the CPU 21 notifies the wearable terminal 300 of information indicating that security has been released (step 94 in FIG. 8, FIG. 9 steps 103, 104). The wearable terminal 300 receives the notification and either displays the information indicating that the guard has been released on the screen or outputs it by voice (step 105 in FIG. 9).

At this time, if there is another canceler, the CPU 21 may notify the information of the canceler. In this case, the smartphone 200 transmits user identification information (user ID, user name, etc.) that identifies the user who has performed the mode switching operation among the plurality of users using the surveillance area to the security device 100 each time the security mode is switched. received from and stored in correspondence with the mode identification information, and based on the user identification information stored in correspondence with the mode identification information at the time of switching to the warning cancellation mode immediately before, the information of the canceler has been canceled. The wearable terminal 300 is caused to display or voice-output the information along with the information to that effect. This allows the user to know that the security mode switching operation is unnecessary when returning home, and to know who is returning home.

Also, if there is no other person to cancel (that is, the last person to leave did not set the outing alert mode when going out in the first place), the CPU 21 sends to the wearable terminal 300 information indicating that the security mode was canceled due to forgetting to set the security mode. Display or audio output may be used.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the currently set security mode is the going-out alert mode (No in step 93), the CPU 21 controls the wearable terminal 300 to display a switching screen that allows switching operation to the alert cancellation mode. (step 95 in FIG. 8, step 105 in FIG. 9). At this time, the CPU 21 may control so as to vibrate the wearable terminal 300 together with displaying the switching screen.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a screen for switching to the alert release mode displayed on wearable terminal 300 under the control of smartphone 200. As shown in FIG.

As shown in the figure, the switching screen 33 for switching to the alert release mode includes text information prompting release of the security mode (set of the alert release mode), and a switching button 34 for inputting an instruction to switch to the alert release mode. and a cancel button 35 for canceling switching.

Subsequently, the CPU 21 determines whether or not an operation to switch to the alert cancellation mode has been input by tapping the switch button 34 on the switch screen 33 (step 96 in FIG. 8). The CPU 21 receives from the wearable terminal 300 a request for switching to the alert cancellation mode based on the switching operation, and determines that the switching operation has been input (steps 106 and 107 in FIG. 9). As with the switching operation to the alert set mode, the configuration may be such that the switching operation is received by recognizing the user's utterance such as "release".

If it is determined that an operation to switch to the alert release mode has been input (Yes in step 96), the CPU 21 transmits a request signal for switching to the alert release mode to the security device 100 (step 97 in FIG. 8, step 9 in FIG. 9). 108).

At this time, the CPU 21 does not transmit the switching request signal just by inputting a switching operation. A switching request signal may be transmitted when opening is detected. This ensures security. Alternatively, the switching request signal may be set so that it can be transmitted only by a predetermined short-range wireless standard (such as Bluetooth). Further, it may be set so that the smart lock of the last door is also released by inputting the switching operation.

The security device 100 that has received the switching request switches the security mode from the outing security mode to the security cancellation mode by the mode control means 118 (step 109 in FIG. 9), and transmits a switching completion notification indicating the switching completion to the smartphone 200 ( step 110 in FIG. 9).

Then, when the CPU 21 receives the switching completion notification, the CPU 21 notifies the wearable terminal 300 to that effect to display on the screen or output by voice (step 98 in FIG. 8, step 111 in FIG. 9).

Further, at this time, the CPU 21 causes the wearable terminal 300 to display or voice the usage evaluation information (feedback information) including the evaluation regarding the usage status of the security device 100 from at least the time when the user left the house immediately before until he or she returned home. may be output by The feedback information may be displayed on the security device 100 or output by voice. In this case, for example, after the switching operation to the security cancellation mode is performed, it is preferable to output at the timing when the open/close detection sensor detects that the final door is opened, or at the timing when a predetermined in-home sensor detects the user. .

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of this feedback information display screen. As shown in the figure, as the feedback information 36, for example, if the user has set the outing alert mode when going out this time, information such as "Usage is 100 points" is notified. Alternatively, the smartphone 200 accumulates information as to whether or not the outing alert mode is set when the user goes out for a certain period of time (one week, one month, etc.). , 5 days in a row), we will notify you with a message such as ``You have achieved the use of a security set when going out for 5 consecutive days'', or if you frequently forget to set it, we will notify you with a message to encourage you to use it. may Such feedback information can give the user a sense of use of the security system. In addition, this feedback information is not limited to the evaluation of the usage status of the security device 100, and may display user activity information such as calorie consumption and walking distance during an outing. information may be displayed together.

[summary]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the security mode needs to be switched, by displaying the switching screen that allows the security mode to be switched in one step without depending on the user's operation, the mode switching operation can be performed. user convenience can be improved. In particular, even when the user cannot operate the smartphone 200 immediately, such as when the smartphone 200 is stored in a bag, the user's convenience can be further improved by enabling the switching operation on the wearable terminal 300.

[Modification]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be modified in various ways without departing from the gist of the present invention.

In the above-described embodiment, in the processing when going out, the wearable terminal 300 reads the tag provided near the final door of the monitored area to determine the final exiter. Instead of this, the smart phone 200 holds the current going-out status (out-of-home state/at-home state) of each user in the monitored area in a security application, and when going-out is detected, the going-out state of all users is "out-of-home state". may be determined to be the final exiter.

Further, the smartphone 200 may determine whether or not the scheduled leaving time has arrived, instead of determining whether or not the person is the last person to leave in step 51 of FIG. 5 of the above-described embodiment. In this case, the user sets the scheduled time to go out on the security application in advance, and when the security application determines that the scheduled time to go out has come, it determines whether security can be set (step 52).

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the processes of determining the final exiter, determining the scheduled going-out time, and determining whether or not security setting is possible may be omitted.

In the above-described embodiment, screen control such as the security mode switching screen is performed on the wearable terminal 300 on the premise that the user operates the wearable terminal 300. When it is determined that the wearable terminal 300 cannot be used, for example, the smartphone 200 may display a security mode switching screen on its display unit 26 .
