[Security system configuration]
The security system 40 is a crime prevention system that performs information processing for notifying the outside of the facility 80 that a security-related abnormality has occurred in the facility 80 . The security system 40 specifically includes a security controller 41 , a sensor 45 and a security server 46 . First, the security controller 41 will be explained.

When the security controller 41 detects an intruder into the facility 80 using the sensor 45 while the alert mode (operation mode set when the user is absent from the facility 80) is active, an abnormality occurs in the facility 80. Assuming that it has occurred, it transmits (outputs) notification information to the security server 46 (outside the facility 80). The security controller 41 includes a communication section 42 , an information processing section 43 and a storage section 44 .

The storage unit 44 is a storage device that stores computer programs and the like executed by the information processing unit 43 . The storage unit 44 is implemented by, for example, a semiconductor memory.

Next, the sensor 45 will be explained. The sensor 45 is a sensor for detecting the occurrence of security-related anomalies in the facility 80 . Specifically, the sensor 45 is a security sensor such as a window or door opening/closing sensor, a glass breakage sensor, or a motion sensor. Security system 40 may include at least one sensor 45 , but may include multiple sensors 45 .

Next, the security server 46 will be explained. The security server 46 performs information processing for arranging visitors to the facility 80 based on the notification information received from the security controller 41 . As a result of this information processing, the operator of the business operating the security system 40 arranges for the visitor, and the visitor rushes to the facility 80 . In addition, the operator reports to the police station or the like as necessary. In the embodiment, an operator means a person who operates a computer or the like.

[Operation example 1]
When the user leaves the facility 80 , the user sets the security system 40 to the security mode by performing an operation such as inserting a predetermined authentication medium into the security controller 41 . Here, the alert mode is an operation mode in which notification information is output to the security server 46 when an intruder into the facility 80 is detected by the sensor 45. False positives (where the user is assumed to be an intruder) can occur if armed mode is enabled immediately after

In order to suppress such erroneous detection, the security controller 41 keeps the alert mode disabled for a predetermined period after the alert mode setting operation is accepted, and enables the alert mode after the predetermined period. A mechanism to become The length of the predetermined period is, for example, 3 minutes. In other words, if the user leaves the facility 80 before 3 minutes have passed after performing the setting operation, false detection will not occur. Note that this predetermined period can be rephrased as a grace period until the alert mode becomes effective.

The longer the predetermined period, the lower the possibility of false positive detection, but the longer the period during which the alert mode is disabled after the user leaves the facility 80, the lower the security of the facility 80. do. On the other hand, the shorter the length of the predetermined period, the earlier the user has to leave the facility 80, and the higher the possibility of erroneous detection occurs, but the alert mode after the user leaves the facility 80 is disabled. Since the period during which is is shortened, the security of the facility 80 is improved.

Therefore, in the cooperation system 10, the control system 20 detects that the user has left the house, and notifies the security system 40 of this. The security system 40 can activate the alert mode at an appropriate timing by activating the alert mode upon receiving the notification. An operation example 1 of such a cooperation system 10 will be described below. FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram of operation example 1 of the cooperation system 10. As shown in FIG.

First, the user instructs the security controller 41 to set the security system 40 to the security mode, and the controller 43b of the security controller 41 accepts this instruction (S11). The setting instruction here is performed based on an operation such as inserting a predetermined authentication medium into the security controller 41, for example.

Next, the control unit 43b causes the communication unit 42 to transmit an acceptance notification indicating that an instruction to set the alert mode has been accepted (S12). The reception notification is transmitted to the security server 46 by the communication unit 42 .

The security server 46 receives the reception notification from the communication unit 42 of the security controller 41, and transmits the received reception notification to the device control server 26 (S13). The communication unit 27 of the device control server 26 receives the reception notification from the security server 46, and transmits the received reception notification to the device controller 21 (S14).

The communication unit 22 of the device controller 21 receives the reception notification from the communication unit 27 of the device control server 26 . The acquisition unit 23a acquires the received reception notification (S15). In other words, the acquisition unit 23a acquires a reception notification from the security system 40 indicating that an instruction to set the security mode has been received. The output unit 23b transitions from the normal mode to the detection mode when the reception notification is acquired by the acquisition unit 23a (S16). The reception notification received in step S14 includes information indicating the length of the predetermined period, and the output unit 23b returns from the detection mode to the normal mode after the predetermined period has elapsed.

The output unit 23b detects whether the device is operated based on information obtained from the device installed at the entrance/exit of the facility 80 during operation of the detection mode (that is, within a predetermined period after the reception notification is acquired). is detected (S17). Here, the doorway has a broad meaning, and includes not only the opening through which the user enters and exits, but also the neighborhood and peripheral portions thereof. Specifically, the output unit 23b detects that the electric lock 31 has been locked from outside the facility 80, or that the push button of the intercom slave unit 32 has been pressed for a long time.

First, a method for detecting that the electric lock 31 has been locked from outside the facility 80 will be described. For example, the electric lock 31 transmits information indicating the state of the electric lock 31 (whether it is locked or unlocked) to the equipment controller 21 each time the electric lock 31 is locked or unlocked. The electric lock 31 is locked or unlocked from the outside of the facility 80 using a card key or a mobile terminal 33, or is locked or unlocked from the inside of the facility 80 by a thumb-turn or the like. Information indicating the state of the electric lock 31 is transmitted to the device controller 21 by distinguishing between the two.

Then, the output unit 23b of the device controller 21 outputs information indicating that the unlocked electric lock 31 has been locked from the outside of the facility 80 (in other words, the unlocking operation has been performed). Based on the information received from 31 , it can be detected that the electric lock 31 has been locked from outside the facility 80 .

Next, a method for detecting that the push button of the intercom cordless handset 32 has been pressed for a long time will be described. The intercom slave unit 32 transmits information indicating that the push button has been long-pressed to the device controller 21 each time the push button has been long-pressed. The long-pressing operation on the push button of the intercom slave device 32 is a special operation that is usually not performed by the visitor, and is an operation that the user intentionally performs to enable the alert mode when going out.

Then, the output unit 23b of the equipment controller 21, based on the fact that the communication unit 22 has received the information indicating that the push button of the intercom slave unit 32 has been long-pressed from the intercom slave unit 32, It is possible to detect that the push button has been pressed for a long time.

In step S17, the detection that the electric lock 31 has been locked from outside the facility 80 or the detection that the push button of the intercom slave unit 32 has been pressed for a long period of time indicates that the user has left the facility 80. can be considered detection. Therefore, when the detection of step S17 is performed during the operation of the detection mode, the output unit 23b outputs the first information for notifying that the user has gone out (S18), and the communication unit 22 The output first information is transmitted to the device control server 26 (S19). The first information is information that is output and transmitted in response to the operation of equipment installed at the entrance/exit of the facility 80 . More specifically, the first information is information transmitted in response to the electric lock 31 being locked from outside the facility 80 or the push button of the intercom cordless handset 32 being pressed for a long time. . It should be noted that the output unit 23b does not output the first information when the detection of step S17 is not performed during the operation of the detection mode.

The communication unit 27 of the device control server 26 receives the first information from the communication unit 22 of the device controller 21, and transmits the received first information to the security server 46 (S20). The security server 46 receives the first information from the communication unit 27 of the device control server 26, and transmits the received first information to the security controller 41 (S21).

The communication unit 42 of the security controller 41 receives the first information from the security server, and the acquisition unit 43a acquires the received first information (S22). In other words, the acquisition unit 43a obtains information indirectly indicating that a device installed at the entrance/exit of the facility 80 has been operated (specifically, that the electric lock 31 has been operated to lock from the outside of the facility 80, or (Information indirectly indicating that the push button of the intercom cordless handset 32 has been pressed for a long time) is acquired.

In this way, when the first information is acquired by the acquisition unit 43a within a predetermined period after the setting instruction for setting the security system 40 (security controller 41) to the security mode is accepted, the control unit 43b immediately activates the alert mode (S23). In other words, the control unit 43b enables the alert mode within a predetermined period of time when the first information is acquired by the acquisition unit 43a within the predetermined period of time. That is, the period from when the setting instruction is accepted until the alert mode becomes effective is substantially shortened.

Note that if the first information is not acquired within a predetermined period of time after the setting instruction for setting the alert mode is accepted, the control unit 43b sets the control unit 43b to the timing when the predetermined period has passed since the setting instruction was accepted. (indicated by the dashed block in FIG. 2) to enable the alert mode.

As described above, in the cooperation system 10, the control system 20 detects that a device installed at the entrance/exit of the facility 80 has been operated, and transmits the first information, thereby confirming that the user has gone out. Notify the system 40. The security system 40 activates the alert mode upon receiving the notification, thereby enabling the alert mode adaptively at the timing when the user is estimated to have left the house.

In the operation example 1 above, transmission of the acceptance notification from the security controller 41 to the device controller 21 was performed via the device control server 26 and the security server 46 (in other words, wide area communication network). However, the transmission of the reception notification from the security controller 41 to the device controller 21 may be performed via the local communication network without via the device control server 26 and the security server 46 .

Similarly, transmission of the first information from the device controller 21 to the security controller 41 was performed from the device controller 21 to the device controller 21 via the device control server 26 and the security server 46 (in other words, wide area communication network). However, the transmission of the first information from the device controller 21 to the security controller 41 may be performed via the local communication network without via the device control server 26 and the security server 46 . FIG. 3 is a sequence diagram of a modification of the operation example 1 of the cooperation system 10. As shown in FIG.

In the modified example of operation example 1 shown in FIG. 3, in step S12a, the reception notification is directly transmitted from the security controller 41 to the device controller 21 via the local communication network. Also, in step S19a, the transmission of the first information from the device controller 21 to the security controller 41 is directly performed via the local communication network. It should be noted that the processing in other steps is the same as in Operation Example 1, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[Operation example 2]
In Operation Example 1, the control system 20 notifies the security system 40 that the user has gone out, based on information obtained from a device provided at the entrance/exit of the facility 80 . The control system 20 can also notify the security system 40 that the user has gone out based on the information obtained from the mobile terminal 33 . An operation example 2 of such a cooperation system 10 will be described below. FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram of operation example 2 of the cooperation system 10 .

First, the user instructs the security controller 41 to set the security system 40 to the security mode, and the controller 43b of the security controller 41 accepts this instruction (S31). The setting instruction here is performed based on an operation such as inserting a predetermined authentication medium into the security controller 41, for example.

Next, the control unit 43b causes the communication unit 42 to transmit a reception notification indicating that an instruction to set the alert mode has been received (S32). The reception notification is transmitted to the security server 46 by the communication unit 42 .

The security server 46 receives the reception notification from the communication unit 42 of the security controller 41, and transmits the received reception notification to the device control server 26 (S33).

The communication unit 27 of the device control server 26 receives the acceptance notification from the security server 46 . The acquisition unit 28a acquires the received notification of acceptance (S34). In other words, the acquisition unit 28a acquires a reception notification from the security system 40 indicating that an instruction to set the security mode has been received. The output unit 28b transitions from the normal mode to the detection mode when the reception notification is acquired by the acquisition unit 28a (S35). The reception notification received in step S33 includes information indicating the length of the predetermined period, and the output unit 28b returns from the detection mode to the normal mode after the predetermined period.

The output unit 28b receives information from the mobile terminal 33 during operation of the detection mode (that is, within a predetermined period after the notification is acquired) (S36), and based on the received information, the mobile terminal 33 It is detected that the vehicle is away from the facility 80 by a predetermined distance or more (S37).

For example, the user installs a predetermined application program on the mobile terminal 33 owned by the user, and sets the location of the facility 80 and a predetermined range described later on the mobile terminal 33 (predetermined application program) in advance. Keep Then, the mobile terminal 33 executing the predetermined application program uses GNSS signals (signals obtained from satellites such as GPS signals) received by the GNSS module included in the mobile terminal 33 to determine the current position of the mobile terminal 33 ( coordinates).

The mobile terminal 33 repeatedly calculates the current position (coordinates) of the mobile terminal 33, and when the calculated current position changes from within a predetermined range around the position (coordinates) of the facility 80 to outside the predetermined range (that is, , when the mobile terminal 33 is away from the facility 80 by a predetermined distance or more), the information is transmitted to the device control server 26 . The output unit 28b can detect that the mobile terminal 33 is away from the facility 80 by a predetermined distance or more based on the reception of such information by the communication unit 27. FIG.

The output unit 28b outputs the second information for notifying that the user has gone out (S38) when the detection of step S37 is performed during the operation of the detection mode, and the communication unit 27 outputs the second information (S38). The second information obtained is transmitted to the security server 46 (S39). The second information is information indicating that the mobile terminal 33 possessed by the user of the facility 80 is separated from the facility 80 by a predetermined distance or more, and is information based on the current position information calculated by the mobile terminal 33 based on the GNSS signal. is. It should be noted that if the detection of step S37 is not performed during the operation of the detection mode (if the above information is not received from the portable terminal 33), the output section 28b does not output the second information.

The security server 46 receives the second information from the communication unit 27 of the device control server 26, and transmits the received second information to the security controller 41 (S40).

The communication unit 42 of the security controller 41 receives the second information from the security server, and the acquisition unit 43a acquires the received second information (S41). That is, the acquiring unit 43a acquires information indicating that the mobile terminal 33 possessed by the user of the facility 80 is away from the facility 80 by a predetermined distance or more.

In this way, when the second information is acquired by the acquisition unit 43a within a predetermined period of time after receiving the setting instruction for setting the security system 40 (security controller 41) to the security mode, the control unit 43b immediately activates the alert mode (S42). In other words, the control unit 43b enables the alert mode within a predetermined period of time when the second information is acquired by the acquisition unit 43a within the predetermined period of time. That is, the period from when the setting instruction is accepted until the alert mode becomes effective is substantially shortened.

That is, when the mobile terminal 33 leaves the facility 80, the communication connection between the mobile terminal 33 and the wireless communication device 34 is released.

Therefore, the mobile terminal 33 may transmit information to the device control server 26 when the communication connection with the wireless communication device 34 is canceled. The output unit 28b can detect that the mobile terminal 33 is away from the facility 80 by a predetermined distance or more based on the reception of such information by the communication unit 27. FIG. In this case, the second information output by the output unit 28b and acquired by the acquisition unit 43a of the security controller 41 is the wireless communication between the mobile terminal 33 and the wireless communication device 34 installed in the facility 80. It can be said that this is information indicating that the connection has been released.

Further, the device control server 26 may determine whether the current position of the mobile terminal 33 is away from the facility 80 by a predetermined distance or more. For example, the mobile terminal 33 transmits information indicating the current position (coordinates) of the mobile terminal 33 calculated using GNSS signals to the device control server 26, and the output unit 28b of the device control server 26 outputs the received information. It is determined whether or not the current position of the mobile terminal 33 shown has changed from within a predetermined range around the position (coordinates) of the facility 80 to outside the predetermined range. The output unit 28b outputs the second information when determining that the current position of the mobile terminal 33 indicated by the received information has changed from within the predetermined range to outside the predetermined range. In this case, the user sets the position of the facility 80 and the above-described predetermined range in advance in the device control server 26 via the portable terminal 33 .
