Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Purpose of the Invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention provides, for example, a security system in which security of a building or the like is controlled centrally by a security center, and is provided for each of security objects such as a building. The present invention relates to a security terminal device that detects occurrence of an abnormality in the security object and notifies the security center of the abnormality.

(Prior Art) In a conventional security system of this type, sensors for fire detection and intrusion detection are provided at various places on a security target such as a building, and the detection results of these sensors are monitored by a security terminal device. This security terminal device is connected to a security center via a communication network such as a public telephone network, and when an abnormality such as a fire or intrusion occurs, a call is made to the security center to indicate that the abnormality has occurred. Notify information. Then, the security center issues an alarm based on the notified information and notifies the security staff of the occurrence of the abnormality. In response, the security staff rushes to the security target in which the abnormality has occurred, and performs a measure.

By the way, in such a security system, when the occurrence of the abnormality is a special matter, that is, when it is difficult for the security guard alone to perform an appropriate action, the security guard arrives at the security target and then returns to the security target. Therefore, the time from the occurrence of the abnormality to the time when the treatment is performed becomes longer.

If the time from the occurrence of the abnormality to the time when the treatment is performed is prolonged, a serious problem will occur if, for example, the generated abnormality is a failure of a food refrigerator.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, conventionally, when a security terminal device detects an abnormality, the security terminal device only notifies the security center of the occurrence of the abnormality. In such a case, when a special matter that is difficult to perform occurs, it takes a lot of time until the treatment is performed, and there is a problem that the treatment is delayed.

The present invention has been made in consideration of such matters, and aims at promptly treating the abnormalities of special matters that cannot be dealt with by security guards. It is an object of the present invention to provide a security terminal device capable of performing the security operation.

[Configuration of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides an item registration unit for arbitrarily registering whether or not to notify a sub-report destination of each of a plurality of items for which an abnormality is detected. And a sub-reporting destination for registering a sub-reporting destination different from the main reporting destination at least to the sub-reporting destination in association with an item that has been registered by the item registration means. A registration unit, and a notification control unit. When the notification control unit detects an abnormality of an item that has been registered by the item registration unit to perform notification to the sub-reporting destination, the notification control unit stores The notification to the sub-report destination registered in the sub-report destination registration means in association with the main report destination is performed in addition to the notification to the main report destination.

(Operation) By taking such a means, it is possible to register, by the item registration means, any of a plurality of predetermined items for performing the abnormality detection, to which notification to the sub-report destination is made. Is detected, the notification to the sub-report destination registered in the sub-report destination registration means in association with the item is performed in addition to the notification to the main report destination.

Therefore, an abnormality of an arbitrary item is directly notified to a secondary report destination such as a manager without passing through a primary report destination such as a security center.

Hereinafter, a security terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a security system configured by applying the security terminal device. In the figure,
Reference numeral 10 denotes a security terminal device, for example, a communication network such as a public telephone network.
It is connected to a center terminal 30 provided at the security center via 20. In addition, the security terminal device 10 is also connected via a communication network 20 to an administrator telephone 40 provided at the residence of the administrator of the security object (for example, a building) in which the security terminal device 10 is installed. I have.

Incidentally, the security terminal device 10 includes a main notification destination setting switch 12, a sub notification destination setting switch 13, and a voice synthesis circuit in the main control unit 11.
14, Item setting switches 15a, 15b ..., 15m, network control circuit (NC
U) 16 are connected to each other. The main control unit 11 is connected to sensors 50a, 50b,..., 50n installed at various places on the security object to detect various abnormalities.

Here, the primary notification destination setting switch 12 and the secondary notification destination setting switch 13 are, for example, ten rotary switches capable of setting ten states (corresponding to values of 0 to 9), and the ten rotary switches. And encoders each of which sets each set value to binary data for setting a telephone number. The main report destination setting switch 12 is for setting the telephone number of the security center as the main report destination. The sub-report destination setting switch 13 is used to set the telephone number of the administrator telephone 40 as a sub-report destination, and functions as a sub-report destination setting unit.

The voice synthesizing circuit 14 generates and outputs a voice message registered in advance, and has a known configuration.
Further, the item setting switches 15a to 15m are, for example, dip switches, each of which is associated with an item (for example, a fire or an intrusion) monitored by the security terminal device 10, and any one of the sensors 50a to 50n according to the item. Are associated with each other. This switch sets whether or not to notify the administrator of the occurrence of any abnormality when any abnormality occurs. In other words, this item setting switch 15a-1
5m works as an item registration means.

By the way, the main control unit 11 has, for example, a microcomputer as a main control circuit, and in addition to general control means as a security terminal device such as abnormality determination processing, the item setting switches 15a to 15 which are ON. When an abnormality occurs in the item associated with 15m, a notification control unit 11a that notifies the administrator of the generated abnormality to the administrator via the administrator telephone 40 is provided.

Next, the operation of the security terminal device 10 configured as described above will be described according to the processing procedure of the main control unit 11.

First, as shown in FIG. 2, the main controller 11 inputs sensor information output from each of the sensors 50a to 50n in step a, and processes the input sensor information in step b. Then, in step c, it is determined whether or not an abnormality has occurred based on the processing result in step b.

Here, if no abnormality has occurred, the main control unit 11 repeats the processing after step a and continues to monitor the occurrence of the abnormality. If an abnormality has occurred, the main controller 11 shifts the processing to step d. In step d, the main control unit 11 reads out the information of the telephone number set in the main report destination setting switch 12, and then in step e, gives the read out telephone number to the NCU 16 to instruct the NCU 16 to make a call. In response, NCU 16 sends a call signal corresponding to the given telephone number to communication network 20, and a call operation is performed. At this time, the main terminal
Since 30 telephone numbers have been set, the center terminal 30 is called by the calling operation.

When the center terminal 30 responds to the call operation, the main control unit 11 determines in step f that predetermined bit information (hereinafter, similarly to the related art, hereinafter) is set in a memory (not shown) according to the item in which the abnormality has occurred. (Referred to as abnormal notification information)
To the communication network 20 via the NCU 16. The abnormality notification information transmitted from the security terminal device 10 to the communication network 20 in this manner is transmitted to the center terminal 30 via the communication network 20.
The center terminal 30 receives this abnormality notification information, and issues an alert to a security guard, for example, in the same procedure as in the past.

Then, after the transmission of the abnormality notification information in step f, the main control unit 11 fetches the setting information of the item setting switches 15a to 15m in step g. Further, in step h, the main control unit 11 determines whether or not the occurring abnormality is an item associated with the item setting switches 15a to 15m in the ON state.

Here, if the abnormality that has occurred is not the item associated with the item setting switches 15a to 15m that are in the ON state, the main control unit 11 ends the process as it is.

On the other hand, in Step h, when the occurring abnormality is an item associated with the item specifying switches 15a to 15m that are in the ON state, the main control unit 11 executes the processing in Step i.
Then, in step i, the information of the telephone number set in the sub-report destination setting step 13 is read, and in step j, the read telephone number is given to the NCU 16 to issue a call. In response, NCU 16 sends a call signal corresponding to the given telephone number to communication network 20, and a call operation is performed. At this time, since the telephone number of the administrator telephone 40 is set in the sub-report destination setting switch 13, the administrator telephone 40 is called by the above-mentioned calling operation.

When the administrator telephone 40 is hooked off in response to this call operation, the main control unit 11 sets a predetermined voice such as "No. 5 refrigerator temperature abnormality" set in advance according to the item in which the abnormality has occurred. A message is input from the voice synthesis circuit 14, and the input voice message is
6 to the communication network 20. The voice message transmitted from the security terminal device 10 to the communication network 20 in this manner is transmitted to the administrator telephone 40 via the communication network 20. In the administrator telephone 40, this voice message is output from the receiver to notify the administrator. The main control unit 11 determines whether or not the line has been disconnected in step m after the end of the voice message transmission in step l.
Steps k and l are repeated until the line is disconnected, and the voice message is repeatedly transmitted. When the administrator telephone 40 is hooked on and the line is disconnected, the main control unit
11 ends the processing.

Thus, according to the present embodiment, when an abnormality occurs in the item corresponding to the item setting switches 15a to 15m that are set to ON, the occurrence of the abnormality is notified to the security center and the residence of the administrator. Therefore, for example, a security guard such as a refrigerator failure cannot perform an action, and sets an item setting switch corresponding to an item requiring an urgent action.
If it is set to ON, such an abnormality of the item is also performed for the administrator. As a result, the administrator can quickly know the occurrence of the abnormality, and can take quick action.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
For example, in the above embodiment, a switch such as a dip switch is used as the item registering means. Further, in the above-described embodiment, a switch composed of a rotary switch and an encoder is used as the sub-report destination registering means. The main control unit 11 may process the input information by software to perform the registration process.

Further, in the above embodiment, the telephone provided at the administrator's residence is used as the secondary notification destination. However, the secondary notification destination is not limited to the telephone, and may be, for example, a dedicated terminal or a facsimile machine. The installation place is not limited to the residence of the manager, but may be any place such as a building management office. Further, in the above embodiment, the number of sub-report destinations is one, but a plurality of sub-report destinations may be set. In this case, 1
One abnormality may be notified to a plurality of sub-report destinations, or different sub-report destinations may be notified according to the item of the abnormality. In addition, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[Effect of the Invention] Item registration means for arbitrarily registering whether or not to notify a sub-report destination for each of a plurality of items for which abnormality detection is performed, and a sub-report different from the main report destination A sub-reporting destination registering means for registering the destination at least to notify the sub-reporting destination in association with the item made by the item registration means; and a notification control means, When an abnormality of an item for which notification to the secondary report destination is performed by the item registration unit is detected by the notification control unit, the notification is registered in the secondary report destination registration unit in association with the item. The notification to the sub-report destination is performed in addition to the notification to the main report destination, so urgent treatment is required and abnormalities of special items that cannot be dealt with by security guards Security terminal device that allows for faster treatment Be placed.
