Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, the same parts as those in FIG. The transmission apparatus 1 differs from the conventional apparatus in that a transmission counter 11 for controlling the transmission timing means 6 is provided. The transmission counter 11 sequentially counts the number of transmissions fired by the transmission means 3 and issues a command to the transmission timing means 12 when the number reaches a predetermined number, thereby changing the transmission timing interval to be longer. The transmission counter functions as a transmission interval changing unit that changes the transmission interval of the transmission timing unit depending on the battery consumption. This transmission timing means 12 can change the transmission timing interval. For this reason, when a predetermined number of signals are emitted, it is automatically determined that the remaining battery power is low, and the transmission timing interval is lengthened to reduce battery usage. The transmitting device 1 is a transmitting unit 3
It operates only for a short period during which it emits a signal, and is in a standby state during other periods, and the battery consumption in the standby state is negligible.

FIG. 2 shows still another embodiment. In this embodiment, the receiving device 7 is driven not by a commercial power supply but by a battery 13. In order to reduce the consumption of the battery 13 as much as possible, the receiving device 7 is normally set in a standby state so that the consumption of the battery 13 is minimized, and the receiving device 7 can be received only when a signal from the transmitting device 1 is received. It is in a state to minimize battery consumption. As a timing for raising the receiving device 7 from the standby state to the receivable state, a signal indicating how many seconds the next transmission is to be performed is transmitted from the transmitting unit 4 of the transmitting device 1 together with original data such as security. The receiving means 9 receives this signal, and the receiving control means 15 and the receiving timing means 14 change the receiving device 7 from the standby state to the receivable state at the designated time.
After the receiving device enters the receivable state and receives the signal from the transmitting device 1, the receiving device returns to the standby state again and repeats the same.

If an abnormal signal such as the opening of a window is received from the transmitting device 1 during the receivable state, the receiving device 7 notifies the abnormality by sound or light. It also automatically dials the phone to alert you of this anomaly.

In the above embodiment, the transmission and reception are performed wirelessly between the transmission device 1 and the reception device 7. However, it goes without saying that the transmission and reception may be performed in a wired manner.

As described above, according to the present invention, in a transmitting device or a receiving device that uses a battery as a power source, if a signal is intermittently transmitted, if the battery consumption is advanced, the signal transmission interval is extended to increase the battery transmission interval. Life can be extended.
