However, in the prior art such as Patent Document 1, the user is required to voluntarily switch the security mode. , and forgot to set the manned monitoring mode at bedtime.

In view of the circumstances as described above, an object of the present invention is to provide a security system, a mobile terminal, and a program capable of preventing forgetting to set or release the security mode.

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 mobile terminal capable of detecting a mobile terminal, and comprising storage means, detection means, control means, and communication means. The storage means stores information indicating the security mode set in the surveillance area. The detection means detects attachment and detachment of the mobile terminal from the user. The control means proposes switching of the security mode according to the result of the detection and the set security mode, and causes the portable terminal to display a switching screen on which the switching operation can be input. 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 detection of attachment or detachment of the mobile terminal from the user as a trigger prompts switching of the security mode and accepts the switching operation, thereby preventing forgetting to set or release the security mode when waking up or going to bed. can be prevented. 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.

The mobile terminals may include a first mobile terminal and a second mobile terminal that is a wearable terminal paired with the first mobile terminal and worn by the user. In this case, the first portable terminal has acquisition means for acquiring information indicating the security mode set in the surveillance area, the control means, and the communication means, and the control means A screen control instruction may be transmitted to instruct the second mobile terminal to display the switching screen in accordance with the set guard mode when the attachment or detachment is detected. Further, the second mobile terminal includes the detection means for detecting the attachment and detachment of the second mobile terminal, the display means for displaying the switching screen based on the screen control instruction, and the switching screen. and switching request means for transmitting a request for switching the security mode to the security device via the communication means when a switching operation is input.

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.

When the mounting of the second portable terminal is detected, the control means proposes switching from the manned monitoring mode to the monitoring cancellation mode if the set security mode is the manned monitoring mode. The screen control instruction may be transmitted for the switching screen.

This makes it possible to naturally suggest switching to the monitoring cancellation mode when the user wakes up.

When the removal of the second portable terminal is detected, the control means proposes switching from the monitoring cancellation mode to the manned monitoring mode if the set security mode is the monitoring cancellation mode. The screen control instruction may be transmitted for the switching screen.

As a result, switching to the manned monitoring mode can be naturally proposed at the timing when the user is about to go to bed.

The control means is provided on the condition that the detection time of the attachment or the removal is included in a predetermined time period, or that the position of the second mobile terminal is within a predetermined range corresponding to the home of the user. , the screen control instruction may be transmitted according to the set security mode.

Here, the predetermined time zone is the user's wake-up time zone or bedtime zone, and may be set in advance by the user, or may be automatically set based on the user's usual activities. may As a result, it is possible to propose switching of the security mode by detecting the timing of the user's wake-up or going to bed with higher accuracy. can prevent

The second mobile terminal may disable operation of the second mobile terminal when the removal is detected. In this case, when the switching screen is displayed based on the screen control instruction, the control means may allow the switching operation to be input without disabling the operation of the second mobile terminal for a predetermined period of time.

As a result, even if the wearable terminal, which can only be operated while worn, is removed, the mode switching operation can be enabled for a predetermined period of time.

The mobile terminals may include a first mobile terminal and a second mobile terminal that is a wearable terminal paired with the first mobile terminal and worn by the user. In this case, the first portable terminal may have acquisition means for acquiring information indicating the security mode set in the surveillance area, the control means, and the communication means.
In this case, when the mounting of the second mobile terminal is detected, the control means, when the set security mode is the manned monitoring mode, instructs the second mobile terminal to monitor from the manned monitoring mode. A screen control instruction is transmitted to instruct to display the switching screen proposing switching to the release mode, and when removal of the second mobile terminal is detected, the set security mode is in the monitoring release mode. In some cases, the switching screen that suggests switching from the monitoring cancellation mode to the manned monitoring mode may be displayed on the display means of the first portable terminal.
In this case, the second mobile terminal includes the detection means for detecting the attachment and detachment of the second mobile terminal, and disables the operation of the second mobile terminal when the detachment is detected. operation locking means; display means for displaying the switching screen based on the screen control instruction; and second switching request means for transmitting a request for switching from to the manned monitoring mode.

Accordingly, when the wearable terminal that can be operated only in the wearing state is removed, the mode switching operation can be enabled by displaying the switching screen on the first portable terminal instead.

A security system comprising: a portable terminal, comprising storage means, determination means, control means, and communication means. The storage means stores information indicating the security mode set in the surveillance area. The determining means determines that the user has woken up when the user's activity is detected by operating or sensing the mobile terminal during a predetermined time period. When it is determined that the user has woken up, and the set security mode is the manned monitoring mode, the control means proposes switching from the manned monitoring mode to the monitoring cancellation mode and performs the switching operation. A switching screen that can be input is displayed on the mobile terminal. The communication means transmits a request for switching the security mode when the switching operation is input on the switching screen.

With this configuration, it is possible to prevent forgetting to cancel the manned monitoring mode by prompting switching to the monitoring cancellation mode and accepting the switching operation by using detection of waking up of the user as a trigger.

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 the present embodiment, when the user terminal 200 detects that the user has woken up (the state in which activity has started after waking up)/preparing for bed (the state in which the user is about to go to bed), the user terminal 200 is paired according to the set security mode. It is possible to perform screen control to suggest switching of the security mode (set/release of the manned monitoring mode) to the wearable terminal 300 and to display a switching screen on which a switching operation can be input.

[Configuration of Security Device]
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.

[Smartphone configuration]
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.

Furthermore, the security application also stores information about the user's wake-up time and bedtime to detect when the user wakes up/gets ready for bed. The wake-up time period is, for example, 6:00 to 8:00, and the bedtime period is, for example, 21:00 to 24:00, but is not limited thereto. Also, the information on the wake-up/sleep time period may be automatically generated based on the user's normal operation log, activity log, or the like of smartphone 200 or wearable terminal 300 .

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 allowed. 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 the user's getting up/sleep preparations. 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 waking up)
First, the operation when the user wakes up will be described. At the time of waking up, if the security mode is set to the home alert mode (manned monitoring mode) when the wearing of the wearable terminal 300 to the user is detected, the smart phone 200 switches the wearable terminal 300 to the alert cancellation mode. is proposed, and control is performed to display a switching screen on which a switching operation to the alert release mode can be performed. The reason why the wearing of the wearable terminal 300 is used as a trigger for the process is that the user generally removes the wearable terminal 300 at bedtime (for example, for charging) and puts it on when waking up.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a security mode switching process performed by the smart phone 200 when the user wakes up. FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of security mode switching processing by the security system when the user wakes up.

As shown in FIG. 5, first, the CPU 21 of the smartphone 200 determines whether it has detected that the wearable terminal 300 is worn by the user (step 51 in FIG. 5). Here, whether or not the wearable terminal 300 has worn the device is determined by the wearable terminal 300 based on whether or not the user's pulse is detected by, for example, the pulse sensor mounted on the wearable terminal 300 (step 61 in FIG. 6). ), and is detected by notifying the smart phone 200 of it when it is determined that the device is worn (step 62 in FIG. 6). Of course, wearing may be detected by a sensor other than a pulse sensor (not limited to a biosensor, but may be a mechanical sensor).

When the wearing is detected (Yes in step 51 in FIG. 5, steps 61 and 62 in FIG. 6), the CPU 21 determines whether the current time is included in a predetermined wake-up time period (for example, 6:00 to 8:00). is determined (step 52 in FIG. 5, step 63 in FIG. 6).

If it is determined that the wearing detection time is included in the predetermined wake-up time period (Yes in step 52), the CPU 21 refers to the security mode currently set in the surveillance area (step 53 in FIG. 5, step 64). 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.

When it is determined that the currently set security mode is the security release mode (Yes in step 54), the CPU 21 notifies the wearable terminal 300 of information indicating that security has been released (step 55 in FIG. 5, FIG. 6 steps 65, 66). 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 67 in FIG. 6).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the currently set guard mode is the home guard mode (manned surveillance mode) (No in step 54), the CPU 21 proposes to the wearable terminal 300 to switch to the guard release mode and alerts the wearable terminal 300. A screen control instruction is sent to display a switching screen on which a switching operation to the release mode can be input (step 56 in FIG. 5, step 67 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 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 30 for switching to the alert release mode includes text information prompting the release of the home alert mode (set of the alert release mode) in addition to the wake-up greeting (“Good morning, etc.”). , a switching button 31 for inputting an instruction to switch to the alert release mode, and a cancel button 32 for canceling the switching.

Subsequently, the CPU 21 determines whether or not an operation for switching to the alert cancellation mode has been input by tapping the switching button 31 on the switching screen 30 (step 57 in FIG. 5). The CPU 21 receives from the wearable terminal 300 a request for switching to the alert release mode based on the switching operation, and determines that the switching operation has been input (steps 68 and 69 in FIG. 6). Instead of tapping the switching button 31, a configuration may be adopted in which the switching operation is received by recognizing the user's utterance such as "cancel".

If it is determined that an operation to switch to the alert release mode has been input (Yes in step 57), the CPU 21 transmits a switch request signal to the alert release mode to the security device 100 (step 58 in FIG. 5, step 6 in FIG. 6). 70).

The security device 100 that has received the switching request switches the security mode from the home security mode to the security cancellation mode by the mode control means 118 (step 71 in FIG. 6), and transmits a switching completion notification indicating the switching completion to the smartphone 200 ( Step 72 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 59 in FIG. 5, step 73 in FIG. 6).

(behavior at bedtime)
Next, the motion of the user when going to bed will be described. At the time of going to bed, if the security mode is set to the release mode when the user's preparation for going to bed is detected, the smartphone 200 proposes switching to the home security mode (manned monitoring mode) to the wearable terminal 300. At the same time, control is performed to display a switching screen on which a switching operation to the at-home alert mode can be executed. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of security mode switching processing by smartphone 200 when the user goes to bed. FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of security mode switching processing by the security system when the user goes to bed.

As shown in both figures, first, the CPU 21 determines whether or not removal of the wearable terminal 300 by the user has been detected (step 81 in FIG. 8). Here, as described above, whether or not the wearable terminal 300 has been removed is detected by the pulse sensor or other sensors of the wearable terminal 300 (step 91 in FIG. 9), and is detected by being notified to the smartphone 200 (FIG. 9 step 92).

When the removal is detected (Yes in step 81 in FIG. 8, steps 91 and 92 in FIG. 9), the CPU 21 determines whether the current time is included in a predetermined bedtime period (for example, 21:00 to 24:00). is determined (step 82 in FIG. 8, step 93 in FIG. 9).

If the CPU 21 determines that the detection of removal is included in the predetermined bedtime period (Yes in step 82), the CPU 21 refers to the security mode currently set in the surveillance area (step 83 in FIG. 8, step 94).

When determining that the currently set security mode is the home security mode (manned surveillance mode) (Yes in step 84), the CPU 21 notifies the wearable terminal 300 of information indicating that security has been set (see FIG. 8). step 85 in FIG. 9, steps 95 and 96 in FIG. 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 97 in FIG. 9).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the currently set guard mode is the guard release mode (No in step 84), the CPU 21 proposes switching to the home guard mode to the wearable terminal 300 and switches to the home guard mode. A screen control instruction is sent to display a switching screen on which an operation can be input (step 86 in FIG. 8, step 97 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.

Here, as described above, wearable terminal 300 disables (locks) its operation when removal is detected. Therefore, even if the switching screen is displayed on the wearable terminal 300 as it is, the user cannot perform the switching operation. Therefore, in this embodiment, the CPU 21 permits the operation of the locked wearable terminal 300 for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, etc.) when transmitting the screen control instruction to the wearable terminal 300. A signal (unlock signal) is also transmitted to the wearable terminal 300 . The permission signal may be transmitted simultaneously with the screen control instruction, or may be transmitted before or after that. Upon receiving the permission signal, wearable terminal 300 releases the operation lock for the predetermined time period, and enters a state in which the switching operation can be accepted. Alternatively, instead of sending the permission signal from smartphone 200 , wearable terminal 300 that has received a screen control instruction after detection of removal may perform a process of withholding the operation lock for a predetermined period of time.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a screen for switching to the home alert mode displayed on wearable terminal 300 under the control of smart phone 200 .

As shown in the figure, the screen 33 for switching to the at-home alert mode includes text information prompting switching to the at-home alert mode in addition to a bedtime greeting ("It's about time to take a break, etc."). It has a switching button 34 for inputting a mode switching instruction and a cancel button 35 for canceling the switching.

Subsequently, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the switch button 33 is tapped on the switch screen 33 to determine whether an operation to switch to the home alert mode has been input (step 87 in FIG. 8). The CPU 21 receives from the wearable terminal 300 a request for switching to the home alert mode based on the switching operation, and determines that the switching operation has been input (steps 98 and 99 in FIG. 9). Note that instead of tapping the switch button 31, a configuration may be adopted in which the user's utterance such as "set at home" is recognized by voice, and the switch operation is received.

If it is determined that an operation to switch to the home guard mode has been input (Yes in step 87), the CPU 21 transmits a request signal for switching to the home guard mode to the security device 100 (step 88 in FIG. 8, step 9 in FIG. 9). 100).

The security device 100 that has received the switching request switches the security mode from the security release mode to the home security mode by the mode control means 118 (step 101 in FIG. 9), and transmits a switching completion notification indicating the switching completion to the smartphone 200 ( step 102 in FIG. 9).

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 89 in FIG. 8, step 103 in FIG. 9).

[summary]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, when it is detected that the user is getting up or getting ready to go to bed, setting/cancelling the manned monitoring mode is suggested and a switching screen is displayed that allows switching between the security modes. The user can naturally switch the security mode according to the flow of getting up/sleep preparation, and can prevent forgetting to set/release the manned monitoring mode at the time of getting up/sleep.

[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 addition to detecting attachment/detachment of the wearable terminal 300, the smartphone 200 wakes up/prepares for the user to go to bed based on whether or not the detection time is included in the wake-up time zone/sleep time zone. was judging. Instead of or in addition to determining the wake-up time zone/sleep time zone, smartphone 200 determines whether the position of wearable terminal 300 (and smartphone 200) acquired by the built-in GPS sensor is stored in advance in the home of the user. The user's wake-up/sleep preparation may be determined based on whether or not the position is within a predetermined range (latitude and longitude) corresponding to , and if the position is within the predetermined range, the screen control instruction may be transmitted. As a result, it is possible to prevent the user from unnecessarily proposing to switch the security mode while staying out of the house.

In the above-described embodiment, when transmitting a screen control instruction to wearable terminal 300 , smartphone 200 sends a permission signal (unlock signal) that permits operation of locked wearable terminal 300 for a predetermined period of time to wearable terminal 300 . was sending. Alternatively, smartphone 200 may display the switching screen on display unit 26 of smartphone 200 when wearable terminal 300 is operationally locked.

That is, when the wearing of the wearable terminal 300 is detected and the security mode being set is the home security mode, the smartphone 200 transmits the screen control instruction to the wearable terminal 300 and causes the wearable terminal 300 to display the switching screen. On the other hand, when the removal of the wearable terminal 300 is detected and the security mode being set is the alert cancellation mode, the switching screen is displayed on the display unit 26 of the smartphone 200, and the switching operation is accepted on the display unit 26. to directly transmit a switching request signal to the security device 100 . As a result, when wearable terminal 300 that can be operated only in the wearing state is removed, a mode switching operation can be enabled by displaying a switching screen on smartphone 200 instead. Also, in this case, only the message indicating the switching proposal may be displayed on the display unit 26 without displaying the switching screen, and then the user may perform the switching operation by transitioning to the operation screen separately.

Similarly, when it is determined that the wearable terminal 300 cannot be used due to a disconnection of communication between the smartphone 200 and the wearable terminal 300 or a dead battery, the switching screen may be displayed on the smartphone 200 instead of the wearable terminal 300 .

In the above-described embodiment, on the premise that the user wears the wearable terminal 300 when waking up and removes the wearable terminal 300 when going to bed, wearing/removing the wearable terminal 300 triggers the switching screen display process. However, some users may go to bed with the wearable terminal 300 attached and wake up.

Therefore, instead of detecting wearing of the wearable terminal 300, the smartphone 200 detects user activity by operating or sensing the wearable terminal 300 or the smartphone 200 during a predetermined wake-up time period (for example, 6:00 to 8:00). It may be determined that the user has woken up when

Here, detection of an activity means detection of some action by the user, detection of a change in the user's biometric information, or the like, and it can be determined that the user has woken up. For example, the activity is detected by the user's operation on the wearable terminal 300 or the smartphone 200 (for example, turning off the wake-up alarm, releasing the lock screen, etc.). Alternatively, the acceleration sensor or gyro sensor installed in the wearable terminal 300 or the smartphone 200 detects a change in the movement or posture of the user (for example, walking, getting up, etc.), or the pulse sensor or respiration sensor detects it. Activity is detected from the fact that the pulse value or respiratory volume per unit time obtained has risen above a predetermined threshold value.

When the smartphone 200 determines that the user has woken up and the set security mode is the home security mode, the smartphone 200 proposes to the wearable terminal 300 to switch from the security mode to the security cancellation mode, and performs the switching operation. The screen control instruction may be transmitted so as to display an input-enabled switching screen. When the wearable terminal 300 determines whether the user has woken up and the security mode set at that time is the home security mode, the wearable terminal 300 proposes switching from the home security mode to the security cancellation mode. The screen control instruction may be executed so as to display a switching screen on which an operation can be input.

Similarly, instead of removing the wearable terminal 300, the smartphone 200 detects that the user is lying down during a predetermined bedtime period (for example, 21:00 to 24:00) using a posture sensor such as an acceleration sensor or a gyro sensor of the wearable terminal 300. If the posture is detected, it may be determined that the user is preparing for bed (has laid down to sleep). When the smartphone 200 determines that the user is preparing to go to bed and the set security mode is the alert release mode, the smart phone 200 proposes switching from the alert release mode to the home alert mode to the wearable terminal 300 . The screen control instruction may be transmitted so as to display a switching screen on which a switching operation can be input. Furthermore, in addition to detecting the lying posture, or instead of detecting the pulse value per unit time or respiratory rate detected by the pulse sensor or respiratory sensor of the wearable terminal 300, the screen control detects that the pulse value or respiratory volume per unit time has decreased below a predetermined threshold value. It may be used as a condition for sending an instruction.
