[0007]

[Embodiment]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the abnormality detection system according to the present invention. The lighting switch (6) is a switch for switching on and off the lighting in the private room, and outputs a lighting switching signal each time it is switched. The warning state switching device (1a) is a warning state switching means, is connected to the lighting switch (6), and outputs a warning state switching signal when the lighting switching signal is received from the lighting switch (6). The push button (2) is installed in the private room, and outputs a push button signal when pressed. The speaker (5a) is a notification means installed in the private room. When the notification signal is received, a push button pressing reminder message "Please push the push button" is played. The buzzer (3a) is an abnormality notification means installed outside the private room and makes a buzzer sound when an abnormality detection signal is received. The control device (4) includes a timer 1 (4a), a timer 2 (4b), a timer 3 (4c), a push button signal input unit (4d), a control unit (4e), a warning state switching signal input unit (4f), and an abnormality detection. It is equipped with a signal output part (4g) and a notification signal output part (4h), the push button signal input part (4d) is connected to the push button (2), and the warning state switching signal input part (4f) is a warning state switch. (1a), the abnormality detection signal output section (4g) is connected to the buzzer (3a), and the notification signal output section (4h) is connected to the speaker (5a).

Next, the operation of the configuration of this embodiment will be described. When a user enters a private room, for example, a toilet, when the lighting switch (6) is turned on, a lighting switching signal is transmitted from the lighting switch (6) to the warning state switch (1a). The alert state switching device (1a) which has received the illumination switching signal transmits the alert state switching signal to the alert state switching signal input section (4f) in the control device (4), and the inside of the toilet enters the alert state. At the same time when the alarm state is entered, the timer 1 (4a) in the control device (4) is started. When the timer 1 (4a) times up, the notification signal is transmitted from the notification signal output unit (4h) to the speaker (5a). Upon receiving the notification signal, the speaker (5a) sends a push button press reminder message "Please push the push button" to urge the person in the room to press the push button (2) installed in the toilet. The time length of the timer 1 (4a) is preferably a little longer than the normal use time of the toilet, for example, about 10 minutes. The reason is that if it is too short, the occupants will find it annoying and burdensome. If the push button (2) is pressed between the time when the timer 1 (4a) is activated and the time when the timer 1 (4a) is up, the push button signal is sent from the push button (2) to the push button signal input section (4d). The abnormality detection signal is transmitted from the abnormality detection signal output unit (4g) via the control unit (4e) to the buzzer (3a) installed outside the toilet, for example, in the kitchen, living room, or bedroom. Each buzzer (3a) that has received the abnormality detection signal sounds, for example, for 30 seconds to notify the abnormality of the person present in the toilet. A person outside the private room can hear the sound of the buzzer (3a) to know the abnormality of the person in the toilet. In other words, if an abnormal condition such as a sudden illness occurs in a room inside the toilet, if the person is aware of it, he / she can press the push button (2) to immediately notify the abnormal condition outside the toilet. If the lighting switch (6) is turned off before the timer 1 (4a) times out, a lighting switching signal is sent from the lighting switch (6) to the warning status switch (1a), and the warning status is received. The switching device (1a) sends a warning state switching signal to the warning state switching signal input section (4f), and the inside of the toilet becomes a non-warning state.

At the same time as the notification signal is transmitted from the notification signal output unit (4h) in the control device (4) to the speaker (5a), the timer 2 (4b) in the control device (4) is started. The time length of the timer 2 (4b) is preferably about 1 minute, for example. The reason is that if the person in the private room is in a normal state, the time is enough to press the push button without fail, and the time for detecting an abnormality is not too long. When the push button (2) is pressed before the timer 2 (4b) times out, a push button signal is transmitted from the push button (2) to the push button signal input section (4d) in the control device (4), and in response to that, The timer 1 (4a) and the timer 2 (4b) of the control device (4) are reset and the timer 1 (4a) is activated again. After that, the same operation as described above is repeated. If the push button (2) is not pressed before the timer 2 (4b) times up, at the same time as the timer 2 (4b) times up, the buzzer (3a) from the abnormality detection signal output section (4g) in the control device (4) will be released. An error detection signal is sent to. Each buzzer (3a) that receives the abnormality detection signal sounds for 30 seconds to notify the person in the toilet of the abnormality. If the lighting switch (6) is turned off before the timer 2 (4b) is up, the toilet is in a non-warning state, as when the lighting switch (6) is turned off before the timer 1 (4a) is up. Becomes

At the same time that the abnormality detection signal is transmitted from the abnormality detection signal output section (4g) to the buzzer (3a), the timer 3 (4c) in the control device (4) is started. It is assumed that the time length of timer 3 (4c) is set to 2 minutes, for example. When the timer 3 (4c) times out, an abnormality detection signal is transmitted from the abnormality detection signal output section (4g) to the buzzer (3a), the buzzer (3a) sounds, and the same operation as described above is repeated thereafter. Considering that there may be no one around the location where the buzzer (3a) is installed when the first buzzer (3a) sounds, the timer 3 should be used in order to promptly and reliably notify the abnormality of the person in the toilet. It is appropriate that the time of (4c) is short to some extent. If the lighting switch (6) is turned off before the timer 3 (4c) times out, the inside of the toilet is not vigilant, as if the lighting switch (6) was turned off before the timer 1 (4a) timed up. It becomes a state.

If the operation of turning off the light is forgotten after using the toilet, the warning condition continues in the toilet and the push button (2) is not pressed even if the push button pressing reminder message is sent from the speaker (5a). (3a) sounds, but at that time someone can go to turn off the lights in the toilet.

Although the above-described embodiment is the case of the toilet, the same system can be introduced in other private rooms such as a bathroom. The respective times of the timer 1 (4a), the timer 2 (4b), and the timer 3 (4c) may be set to the optimum time depending on the location of the private room or the person to be detected. In addition, the reminder means (5) urging the push button to be pushed may be a buzzer or a lamp display "please push the push button" instead of a voice message. Further, the warning state switching means (1) may be connected to a sensor for detecting the presence of a person in the private room, for example, an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a weight detection sensor or the like.

[Effect of device]

 The abnormality detection system according to the present invention is configured as described above and has the following effects. In a private room such as a toilet or bathroom, it is determined that the push button is pressed down regularly when it is in use, and it is abnormal if the push button is not pressed. In the past, an abnormality was reported by pressing the push button, but this invention determines that it is abnormal to not press the push button, so even if a sudden abnormality occurs in the person in the room, the abnormality can be reliably detected. it can . In addition to that, if it is determined that pressing of the push button is abnormal except during a regular fixed time period, the abnormality can be detected more quickly. Also, there is no fear of invading privacy like surveillance cameras. Moreover, the structure is simple and the cost is low.
