The sensor group 50 includes a plurality of sensors 51 to 56.
Each garden 3 composed of ... and corresponding to the outside of the house
~ 6, each fence 7-10, each guard area of the gate 21 is arranged so as to be a detection area, and an intruder makes contact with, approaches, climbs, or walks into these gardens, fences, and gates. Detects crossing, etc. The gate switch 36 is a kind of sensor, and inputs a detection signal to the controller 30 when the gate is opened. The sensors are electrically connected to the controller 30, respectively, so that the sensors can be used to go out of the house or go home.
Each path of intruders around the road and the rest of the house
In order to be able to confirm this, they are separately arranged outside the house.

These sensors include all known detection means. That is, an infrared sensor, an embedded high frequency sensor,
In addition to typical detection means such as a capacitance sensor, a detection means that outputs a detection signal when a detection line is cut, a detection means having a relatively simple structure such as a pressure sensitive switch, and a CCD
It also includes a detection unit having a relatively high configuration such as a moving body detection device by image processing for detecting a moving body from an image acquired by a camera.

The distribution unit group 40 is composed of a plurality of distribution units 41, 42, .... Each distribution unit is used as a repeater that facilitates wiring to each sensor. For this reason, it is also possible to wire from the controller 30 to each sensor, in which case no distribution unit is required. The distribution unit can also be configured as a wireless transmitter. In this case, wiring between the controller 30 and the distribution unit is unnecessary.

Next, the indoor controller 60 will be described with reference to FIG. The indoor controller 60 is provided on the wall surface of the house 2 such as a reception room, and functions as an operation unit and a display unit of the controller 30. The operation unit is a cover 62

The display section comprises a power LED 61, a backlight display LED 69, and a liquid crystal display section 70. The backlight display LED 69 lights up when the backlight of the liquid crystal display unit 70 is turned off.
In addition, the liquid crystal display unit 70 includes a message display unit 7
1, a main display section 72 showing various information other than the warning location and the detection location, and function display sections 73 to 75 for displaying selection information assigned to the function buttons 66 to 68, respectively. The display modes of the display unit 70 and the allocation of the function buttons can be changed by rewriting the RAM or the like of the controller 30 to deal with the change of the security place due to the extension of the house or the like.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
Will be described with reference to. When the power is turned on, the controller 30 operates (S1). If any of the buttons 63 to 65 of the indoor controller 60 is not selected, the alert mode is selected (S3). In this non-warning mode, a detection signal from any sensor is sent to the controller 3
Even if it is input to 0, the controller 30 ignores it or does not output a control signal or the like. Further, although this detection signal is not stored in the history storage means (not shown) included in the controller 30, it can be set to be stored.

Buttons 63 to 6 of the indoor controller 60
If any of 5 is selected, the process proceeds to step 4.
When the return home button 64 is pressed, the process returns to step 2. The return home button 64 is effective when the controller 30 is in the home mode or the outing mode,
In other cases, the operation of the button is treated as invalid.

First, a case where the home button 63 is pressed in order to provide a warning at night when going to bed will be described with reference to FIG. When the home mode is started in step 101, the display unit of the indoor controller 60 is in the state shown in FIG. Then, in step 102, a message "At home alert" is displayed on the message display unit 71, and the controller 30 becomes operable in response to the input of the detection signal of each sensor, that is, the alert state.

Although the main display section 72 shows the previously set warning place, if a change is required, the following change operation of the caution place is performed. Function display section 73
Then press the function button 66 (S10
9) It is possible to change the warning place shown on the main display 72 (S110). By this operation, the north wall 7 displayed by the display "North boundary" on the main display portion 72
Blinks, and the function display section 73-
75 is displayed as "return", "warning setting", and "forward" respectively, and by selecting the function buttons 66 to 68 as appropriate, the fence 7 to 10, the gardens 3 to 6, and the guard area of the gate 21 are in a warning state. You can set whether or not.

Next, when an intruder is detected by any of the sensors in step 112, detection time processing is performed (S113). This detection processing is the controller 3
The output signal from 0 indicates on the message display section 71 of the indoor controller 60 that the detected location is detected.

For example, when a detection signal is input from the sensor on the north wall 7 to the controller 30, the message display unit 7
1 displays “North boundary detection”. Further, the northern boundary portion of the main display portion 72 is displayed blinking. At the same time, a timer (not shown) inside the controller 30 starts.

Further, the alarm 32 produces a threatening sound by the output signal from the controller 30, and the lamp 3
3 flashes and threatens the intruder. Further, the detection location and the detection time are stored in the history storage means of the controller 30, and a history number is given. In addition, information indicating that an intruder has entered is transmitted to the host computer 34 of the security company via a telephone line, the Internet, or the like.
The information includes a house address, a security company management number, a detection location and time, and a history number.

When an intruder further crosses over the north wall 7 and enters the north court 3, a detection signal is input from the sensor of the north garden 3 to the controller 30. In this case, the message display section 7
1, "Northern garden detection" is displayed, the blinking display of the northern boundary portion of the main display portion 72 is changed to the lighting display, and the northern garden portion is newly blinked. Therefore, the route of the intruder can be confirmed. Then, the detection time processing is updated, and the timer newly starts time counting. Further, the history number of the next rank is given and stored in the history storage means, and new information is further transmitted to the host computer of the security company.

When 3 minutes have elapsed since the detection process was started, the operation of the alarm 32 and the lamp 33 is stopped in step 114. Then, the alarm state is restored again (S115), and the timer is stopped (S116).

Next, a case where there is a person returning home in the alert state of the home mode will be described. In order to release the caution state for the returnee to return home, firstly, there is a method of using an intercom (not shown) attached to the gate post 22 to allow a homeward person to operate the return button 64, and There is a method in which the returnee operates the outdoor controller 35 attached to the gate post 22.

First, the operation of the return home button 64 will be described. Return home button 64 in home mode alert status
When is pressed, the timer is activated via step 103 (S107). At the same time, by step 108,
Even if there are detection inputs from the sensor of the entrance approach section, the controller 30 ignores these inputs.

The sensors of the entrance approach section are a group of sensors that detect the door switch 36 and the Nanba 4 that detect the open state of the gate. In this way, it is possible to easily cancel the warning state of the minimum necessary route for returning home (returning route) only by operating the home button. During this time, if there is a detection input from another sensor, the controller 30 performs the detection process, so that the chance of an intruder's intrusion can be minimized.

After 3 minutes have passed after the operation of the return button 64, the entrance approach section automatically returns to the alert state. If the homecoming person returns home from the front door 20 before the lapse of 3 minutes and presses the home button 63, the front door approach section similarly returns to the alert state.

Next, a case where the returnee operates the outdoor controller 35 will be described. The outdoor controller 35 has an ID
A numeric keypad (not shown) for inputting and a detection lamp (not shown) are provided. When the returnee enters the personal identification number on the ten-key pad, the timer is activated via step S104 (S105). At the same time, in step 106, the warning of the entrance approach section is released. Also in this case, if the timer has passed for 3 minutes or the home button is pressed, the original alert state is restored.

The numeric keypad for inputting the ID is used for the house 2
Any means can be used as long as it is possible to confirm that the user is a resident, and for example, a verification device using a magnet key or a card can be used instead.

Next, with reference to FIG. 6, a case where the go-out button 65 is pressed to warn while the user is out will be described. When the go-out button 65 is operated immediately before going out, the go-out mode is started in step 201, and the flag (f
lag) becomes 0 (S202), the timer is activated (S203), all the warning spots are in the warning state (S204), and the warning state of the entrance approach section is released (S205).

In the present embodiment, the entrance approach section is a return route, and at the same time is an outbound route. For example, the gate is also present on the east fence 9, and the outbound routes are Nanba 4, Eastba 5 And, it is possible to deal with the case of reaching the East Gate. In this case, the controller 30 cancels the alert state of the alert place corresponding to each of the return route and the outbound route.

Within 3 minutes from the start of the timer operation, when an outing person goes out of the gate 21 and inputs an ID into the outdoor controller 35 (S207), all the warning spots are in the warning state (S208, S209), and the timer is stopped. Yes (S2
10). As a result, the detection process (S216, S217) is performed on the intruder who is out.

If a person who goes out from the gate 21 within 3 minutes from the start of the timer operation and forgets to input the ID into the outdoor controller 35, when 3 minutes have elapsed from the start of the timer operation (S206), all warnings are automatically issued. The place becomes alert (S208, S209), and the timer stops (S
210). As a result, the detection process (S216, S217) is performed on the intruder who is out.

Next, the case of returning home in the outing mode will be described. When the returnee inputs the ID into the outdoor controller 35 (S211), the timer is activated (S212), the flag becomes 1, and the caution state of the entrance approach section is canceled (S205).

When the returnee enters the house 2 and presses the at-home button 63 within 3 minutes from the start of the timer operation (S215),
The flag becomes 0 (S218), and the out-of-home mode is changed to the home mode (S219).

When the returnee enters the house 2 and forgets to press the home button 63 within 3 minutes from the start of the timer operation, when 3 minutes have elapsed (S206), the flag is 1 in step 208, and the flag is 0. Yes (S21
8) The mode is changed from the outing mode to the home mode (S21).
9).

When there is a person who is at home in the house 2 in the outing mode, which is supposed to be out of the office, and the person at home presses the outing button 65 to go out, the process returns from step 215 to step 202, and the outing mode is set. The flow of is repeated.

When the detection process is performed in the outing mode, the detection lamp of the outdoor controller 35 is turned on. This detection lamp is a notification means for informing the returning person that an intruder has intruded while he was away.

Next, the function buttons 66 to 67 of the indoor controller will be described. When the function buttons 66 to 67 are operated according to the display on the function display section 73, the detection history and various information can be displayed on the main display section 72.

The detection history is reproduced on the main display section 72 in the order of history numbers when the above-described processing at the time of detection is performed and history information is stored in the history storage means. For example, when the detection process is performed while the outing mode is selected and the detection lamp of the outdoor controller 35 is lit, the returnee moves and enters the intruder on what route and at what time. You can know

Various kinds of information such as traffic information, weather forecast, news, etc. are sent to the antenna 31 connected to the controller 30.
By receiving the FM teletext via, it can be displayed on the main display unit 72. In addition, a list of telephone numbers previously stored by the user can be displayed. Specifically, the operation is performed in step 111 of the home mode.

The emergency button provided in the cover of the operation section of the indoor controller 60 is operated in case of emergency. That is, when the emergency button is pressed, a threatening sound is generated from the alarm device 32, and information indicating that the emergency button is pressed is transmitted to the host computer 34 of the security company.

According to the present embodiment, by providing the home mode and the outing mode respectively, it is possible to easily perform system control faithful to the intention of the user. Further, in the at-home mode, it is possible to easily change to the returning-home state by partially performing the process of canceling the security place by the returning-home button.

Further, by providing the outdoor controller, partial cancellation processing of the guarded place is performed by confirming the ID in the at-home mode and the out-of-home mode, and the home state can be easily changed. Further, these releasing processes are controlled by a timer to prevent the state in which the releasing processes have been performed from being left unattended.

Further, when the canceling process is executed in the outing mode, the timer automatically changes the mode to the home mode, so that the operation to switch to the home mode is not necessary again.

Various incidental devices can be attached to the above-described embodiment. First, it is possible to wear an outdoor loudspeaker instead of or with the alarm 32. This allows the microphone attached to the indoor controller 60 to issue a warning to an intruder during the detection process.

Next, it is possible to provide a plurality of speakers inside the house to notify by voice that there is an intruder during the detection process. Whether or not the speaker is operated can be operated by the indoor controller 60.

Further, the indoor controller 6 can be used to monitor the situation such as a garden.
As can be confirmed by 0, the display unit 70 can also display images from a plurality of CCD cameras installed outdoors. For example, an image of one CCD camera can be manually selected from a plurality of CCD cameras by the indoor controller 60, and an image of one CCD camera whose imaging range is the detection location is automatically selected at the time of detection processing described later. It is also possible to display.

The operation portion of the CCD camera may be assigned to the function buttons 66 to 68 so that the contrast and brightness of the CCD camera or the zoom can be adjusted.

The image captured by the CCD camera is stored in the history storage means of the controller 30 together with the history number, and can be reproduced on the display unit 70 in the order of the history numbers.

It is also possible to attach a plurality of outdoor lights so that the CCD camera can pick up images at night and the intruder can be visually recognized. For example, one light can be manually selected from a plurality of lights by the indoor controller 60, and it is also possible to automatically turn on one light having the location as an illumination range at the time of detection processing described later.
