[Prior art]
Japan, which was made up of a single ethnic group, was a safe country where the spirit of mutual assistance worked and was proud of the world, but with the wave of modernization, the spirit of mutual assistance faded away, saying, “What do the neighbors do?” Relationships with neighbors have also become sparse. In addition, the difference between rich and poor, which can be said to be a distortion of the competitive society, has become severe, and the development of traffic has made it easier for people who are heartless to come and go from the world, and security has been steadily deteriorating. Yes. Due to such a background of the times, the need for security is increasing year by year, and not only various institutions and shops, but also ordinary households are requesting security management from security companies.
[0003]
FIG. 8 shows an example of a security system of a security company. When a contractor makes a contract with a security company, the sensor in the contractor's house is a sensor, that is, a detector 1 (for example, a door for detecting an intrusion of a person, a magnet detector or an infrared detector installed in a window, a fire detector). Etc.), and a control panel 2 is installed for grasping information of all detectors and notifying the control center 3 of the security company.
[0004]

To inform. The control center 3 is constantly monitored by a person, and notifies the contractor 4 and the depot (starting base) 6 of the occurrence of an abnormality based on the report from the control panel 2. When the contractor is present at the location, the contractor himself confirms the change (abnormality), but when the contractor is not present at the location, the security guard rushes from the departure base to the contractor's home. Then, the change (abnormality) is confirmed, and if necessary, the police station or the fire station 5 is notified and appropriate measures are taken and the contractor is notified. As can be seen from the above explanation, the contractor must entrust the security company to install the detector 1 and the control panel 2, and this system requires a lot of human intervention over 24 hours. During this time, the contractor must continue to pay the running costs for this. Security systems using mobile phones are also disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 2001-245069, 2000-251181, and 2001-292442.

FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing the functions necessary for the security control apparatus of the present invention in a security control apparatus such as a PC (personal computer) and the connection environment with an external device in a little more detail. Since it is only via, this is omitted. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an operation flow of the security system of the present invention.
[0012]
When a change (abnormality) occurs in either the security object detector A or the detector B shown in FIG. 3, the output of the corresponding detector is input to the PC (control device) 7 directly or via the interface 10. The PC (control device) 7 starts a program called CGI (Common Gateway Interface) that is pre-installed due to this abnormality ((1) in FIG. 4), and indicates a security state of the corresponding security target (DB) (database) Is updated ((2) in FIG. 4), and the database is written in the HTML (HyperText Markup Language) format. After that, PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is started and dialed up to the public line or connected to the ISP (Information System Provider Information Provider) 11 ((3) in FIG. 4) through the Internet line to obtain the IP address, and then HTTPD (HyperText Transfer Protocol Daemon) is launched and the Web that displays the security status in the HTML format is opened and published ((4) in FIG. 4), and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is started and registered in advance. The E-cell phone 8 has changed (abnormal) in its IP address and home security target detector (that is, a security problem has occurred). Transmitted at ail (in FIG. 4 ▲ 5 ▼) and notify the user by.
[0013]
If the mobile phone 8 is notified of the IP address of the Web server indicating the security status in the home, the user can access the IP address from the mobile phone 8 to view the Web wherever the user is. You can know where the change (abnormality) occurred. The operation of accessing the IP address from the mobile phone and viewing the Web is the same as browsing the Internet homepage on the mobile phone 8, and E-Mail indicates that there was a change (abnormality) in the home security target detector. The browsing is possible even if it is not limited to the ASP (mobile carrier) transmitted by.
[0014]
Of course, when accessing the IP address and viewing the Web, the PC (control device) 7 requests an ID or password to prevent eavesdropping or unauthorized access, thereby preventing browsing by a third party. It is also possible. 5A is a display example of E-Mail from the PC (control device) 7 sent to the mobile phone 8, FIG. 5B is a display example of a user name and password input screen, and FIG. 5C is a home security device. The example of a display of a state is shown. In the display example of FIG. 5A, the IP address is displayed, and when the user clicks the underlined portion, the user is connected to the Web server (in the embodiment, the home PC (control device) 7). FIG. 5B is a display example for confirming a user registered in advance when connected to a home PC (control device) 7. The user inputs a user name password and matches the registered content. You can see the status of the security target devices in your home. FIG. 3C shows an example of the status display of the security target device. This display is a simple example, but if you install a video camera linked to a doorphone as one of the detectors and place this camera image on the Web, who is the visitor even if you are out? In addition, it is possible to respond to the visitor from the mobile phone if the detector and the mobile phone have bidirectionality. Also, if one of the detectors is a video camera that can show the situation inside the house, depending on the change (abnormality) of the security target, the video camera can be operated from a mobile phone and the video can be placed on the Web. You can also check the video to see what is happening in your house.
[0015]
Thus, it is possible to know the change (abnormality) of the security target device, and when necessary depending on the content of the change (abnormality), the police station or the fire department is accessed and appropriate measures are taken. In the above description of the embodiment, the registered mobile phone gives the impression of only one, but if it is registered, it is not limited to one, and the mobile phone of the whole family should be registered. Can inform multiple people that there was a security anomaly. When multiple people are registered, even if the security anomaly is notified at the same time, priorities are given first, and then the person with the highest priority is notified first, and if there is no web confirmation action from that person, the person in the next order is notified sequentially. Anyway. In this way, it is possible to expect an effect of further enhancing the certainty of security.
[0016]
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the flow of processing after accessing the Web server (in the embodiment, home PC (control device) 7) from the mobile phone 8 and connecting to the public Web. The direction of arrows indicating control and signal flow in FIG. 6 is different from that in FIG. In FIG. 3, in order to make it easy to understand the operation from the occurrence of a change (abnormality) in the security target to the notification to the mobile phone 8, the flow of information and signals and the direction of control are indicated by arrows, but these are unidirectional. There is no reason to have it and it is better to be bidirectional if necessary. In other words, after confirming the change (abnormality), the mobile phone 8 instructs the PC (control device) 7 via the Web to return the database (DB) indicating the state of the security target to the initial setting, or an abnormality occurs. It is also possible to restore the operating environment of the security target device 1.
[0017]
In order to prevent a third party from browsing the Web after the user has achieved the purpose by browsing the Web published on the Web server (PC (control device) 7 at home in the embodiment). Should be cut. The web publishing may be disconnected at the user's will by instructing from the mobile phone 8, and the web publishing is automatically disconnected when the mobile phone 8 is disconnected after the user has accessed and browsed. Also good.
[0018]
By the way, even when receiving information (E-Mail) in which a change (abnormality) in security shown in FIG. 5A is received, the user cannot stop accessing the PC (control device) 7 because of unavoidable circumstances, Even if the information (E-Mail) in which the security change (abnormality) shown in FIG. 5A is received and the PC (control device) 7 is accessed, the user name and password shown in FIG. 5B are forgotten. It may happen that the user cannot input or mistakenly input. Also in this case, since the home PC (control device) 7 remains connected to the Internet line, the Web page may continue to be released with the acquired IP address and may be viewed by a third party.
[0019]
A method for solving this problem is shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, (3), (4), and (5) indicate the same operations as (3), (4), and (5) in FIG. In this case, if there is no access from a wireless device registered on the public web even after a preset time has elapsed, the line is disconnected to stop the web release (that is, the Internet connection is disconnected). (7) Re-acquire a new IP address by reconnecting to an ISP (information connection provider) through a public line or the like again (8). After acquiring this new IP address, the Web is reopened and opened (9), and this new IP address is notified to the mobile phone by Mail (10) in the explanation of FIG. 3 and (4) to (5) of FIG. This is the same as described in ▼. In this way, the IP address is renewed every time it is connected to an ISP (information connection company), so that the Web is not kept open with the same IP address for a long time and can be prevented from being viewed by a third party.
[0020]
Also, when notifying the mobile phone of changes (abnormality) of the security target detector, the security target device that has changed (abnormality), the time when the change (abnormality) occurred, and the IP that was notified to the mobile phone by E-Mail Database of addresses, notification times, times when mobile phones were accessed on the web, times when the internet was disconnected, times when the internet was not accessed, times when the e-mail was retransmitted, IP addresses and times when it was retransmitted If this is recorded, the operation history of the security system of the present invention can be traced later, and the convenience is further improved.
In the description of the embodiment of the present invention described above, although the opening-publishing Web showing the state of the security object shown in the example carried out in the home server, advance information connected to open-public Web indicating the state of the security target It goes without saying that it is also possible to establish a contract with a trader (provider etc.) and open it on the server of the information connection trader (provider etc.). When an abnormality occurs in the security target, the home security control apparatus updates the database indicating the status of the security target, connects to an information connection provider (provider, etc.) through a public line, etc., and at least the updated database is the information connection contractor. recorded on the server (provider, etc.) is a method of performing opening-publishing Web showing the state of security interest on the server of the information access provider (provider, etc.). This way the information access provider (provider, etc.) remain recorded on the server, for example, intruder or destroy the controller aware of the existence of domestic security controller, or a security control in the home fire Even if the device burns out, it can be expected to be tracked later.
[0021]
In the security system of the present invention described above, if the security control device 7 is a computer such as a personal computer, the functions and operations shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 can be realized by program software, and the security system of the present invention can also be controlled by software. Needless to say, the functions shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG.
[0022]
A software program for operating the security system of the present invention described above on a personal computer can be widely used if it is distributed on the Internet or distributed on a package medium such as a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM disk.
[0023]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, when a change (abnormality) occurs in the security target in the home, the fact that the change (abnormality) has occurred is registered in a user's wireless device (for example, a mobile phone ) registered in advance. Based on the notification, the user can check the status of the security target in the home at home by using the Internet function using a mobile phone from outside the home. Therefore, it is possible to construct an inexpensive and simple security system.
