Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は携帯電話機の置き忘れ防止装置に関し、さらに詳しく言えば、外出する際における携帯電話機の置き忘れを防止する携帯電話機の置き忘れ防止装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
携帯に便利なように、携帯電話機は近年ますます小型・軽量化され、鞄などに入れていても、その存在を余り感じないようになってきている。それ故に、置き忘れることが多い。
【0003】
置き忘れ防止のための類似技術としては、鞄などの置き忘れ防止装置がある。これは微弱電波を利用したもので、送信機を鞄に入れておき、受信機を身に付ける。送信機と受信機の距離が広がると受信電波が弱くなるため、これを検知してブザーなどで警報を鳴らす。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、これによると送信機と受信機とが必要であるとともに、必ず受信機を身につけておく必要がある。すなわち、受信機を置き忘れた場合には用をなさない。
【0005】
そればかりでなく、携帯時には常に送信機をオンにして微弱電波を発信させておく必要があるため、携帯電話機に適用すると種々の不都合が生ずる。このような理由により、携帯電話用の置き忘れ防止装置は未だ実用化されていない。
【0006】
ところで、家庭内においては、通常、携帯電話機を充電器ホルダーに置いておくため、外出する際に置き忘れる場合が多い。最近の携帯電話機は、上述したようにますます小型・軽量化され、物理的にその存在感が薄くなってきているため、その重さなどでは携帯したかどうかを判別し難く、外出先で使用する必要が感じたときに忘れたことに気づくことが多い。その結果、例えば重要な商機を逃したり、連絡が取れないことにより信用問題などに発展してしまう場合もあった。
【0007】
本発明は、このような課題を解決するためになされたもので、その目的は、携帯電話機の構成はそのままとして、外出時における携帯電話機の置き忘れを使用者に確実に知らせることができるようにした携帯電話機の置き忘れ防止装置を提供することにある。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するため、本発明は、建物内において使用される携帯電話機用充電器ホルダーと、上記建物の出入り口近傍に設置された受信部および人体を検出する人感センサーと、上記充電器ホルダーに対する上記携帯電話機の有無を検出するセンサーを含み、その検出信号を上記受信部に送信する送信部と、上記受信部および上記人感センサーからの情報に基づいてブザーなどの報知手段を動作させる制御手段とを備え、上記制御手段は、上記人感センサーにて人体が検知され、かつ、上記送信部より上記受信部に送信された検出信号が「電話機有り」の場合には、上記報知手段を動作させて、携帯電話機置き忘れを意味する警告を行なうことを特徴としている。
【0009】
これによれば、人感センサーにより出入り口を通過する人が検知される。そのとき、充電器ホルダーに携帯電話機が置かれていると、制御手段は携帯電話機置き忘れと判断し、報知手段により警報を発する。これにより、外出時の携帯電話機の置き忘れが防止される。
【0010】
送信部から受信部への送信は、無線、有線(専用線)もしくはAC電源ラインのいずれであってよいが、送信アンテナ受信アンテナが不要で、しかも特に新たな配線工事を必要としない点からすれば、AC電源ラインを利用することが好ましい。また、人感センサーには焦電センサーが好適である。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、図1に示す模式図を参照して、本発明の実施例ついて説明する。本発明は、家庭やオフィスなどにおいて携帯電話機は、不使用時には多くの場合、充電器ホルダーに置かれていることを前提としてなされたものである。
【0012】
したがって、この実施例においては、充電器ホルダー30に携帯電話機TPの有無を検知する検出器40および送信部41を備えている。検出器40は充電器ホルダー30に取り付けられるセンサー40aを有し、センサー40aからの出力信号に基づいて送信部41に「電話機あり」もしくは「電話機なし」の検出信号を送出する。
【0013】
なお、センサー40aは、マイクロスイッチや、非接触型の例えば光センサー、超音波センサー、磁気センサーなどであってよい。
【0014】
また、この実施例は、建物の出入り口(ここでは、玄関ドアとする)付近に配置された人感センサー42、上記送信部41からの送信信号を受信する受信部43、制御部44および制御部44により駆動される報知手段としてのブザー45を備えている。
【0015】
人感センサー42は、玄関ドアを通過する人を検出するもので、自動ドアの開閉制御に用いられている各種のセンサー、例えば超音波センサー、反射型赤外線センサー、焦電型センサー、人の重量を検知する踏圧マット式センサーなどが適用可能であるが、中でも設置時の作業性やメンテナンスなどの点からすれば焦電型センサーが好ましい。
【0016】
送信部41と受信部43を結ぶ方式は、無線送信機41aおよび無線受信機43aからなる無線通信方式、専用線41bによる有線通信方式もしくはそれぞれのAC電源ライン41c,43cを経由させるAC電源ライン経由方式のいずれであってもよいが、簡便な点ではAC電源ライン経由方式が好ましい。
【0017】
制御部44は、マイクロコンピュータであってよい。また、マイクロコンピュータには、CPU(central processing unit)やMPU(micro processing unit)と呼ばれる制御素子も当然に含まれる。
【0018】
次に、この実施例の動作を説明する。検出器40から送信部41に対して、携帯電話機TPが充電器ホルダー30にあるか、ないかの検出信号が送られる。送信部41は、この検出信号を受けて受信部43に「電話機あり」もしくは「電話機なし」の信号を送出する。
【0019】
制御部44は、人感センサー42および受信部43を監視し、人感センサー42からの信号により人が通ったことを検知すると、受信部43の受信内容を調べる。そして、受信部43の受信内容が「電話機あり」の場合には、携帯電話機TPの置き忘れと判断してブザー45を鳴動させて、玄関ドアを通過する人に注意を促す。受信部43の受信内容が「電話機なし」の場合には、携帯電話機TPを携行しているものとして、ブザー45を鳴動させない。
【0020】
なお、携帯電話機TPを室内に置き忘れていることを報知する対象は、建物から出ていく人である。したがって、建物から出ていく人と建物に入ってくる人とを識別する必要がある場合には、例えば人感センサーを室内側と室外側との両方に設け、そのいずれが先に人を検知したかを判断すればよい。
【0021】
すなわち、人を検知したときをオン、人を検知していないときをオフとすると、室内側人感センサーが先にオンしたならば、その人が建物から出ていくと判断して、受信部43の受信内容を調べ置き忘れ防止動作を行なう。これに対して、室外側人感センサーが先にオンしたならば、その人が建物内に入ってきたと判断し、置き忘れ防止動作を行なわないようにすればよい。
【0022】
以上、本発明を具体的な実施例により説明したが、当業者であるならば容易に思いつくであろう変形、改変および均等技術も本発明に含まれる。例えば、上記実施例では報知手段としてブザーを用いているが、音声、表示ランプなどに置き換えることは容易である。また、マイクロコンピュータにしても、どのポートを使用するかは機種によってまちまちであるため、任意に選択できる。
【0023】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明によれば、外出時にも建物からでるときに、携帯電話機の置き忘れがチェックされるため、外出先での持ち忘れに気づいて不便な思いをすることがなくなる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a preventing device misplaced mobile telephone and, more particularly, to a prevention device misplaced mobile phone to prevent misplacement of the mobile phone at the time of leaving out.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, mobile phones have become increasingly smaller and lighter so that they can be easily carried, and even if they are placed in bags, they do not feel their presence. Therefore, it is often misplaced.
[0003]
As a similar technique for preventing misplacement, there is a misplacement prevention device such as a bag. This uses weak radio waves, put the transmitter in a bag and wear the receiver. When the distance between the transmitter and the receiver increases, the received radio wave weakens, so this is detected and an alarm sounds with a buzzer.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, according to this, a transmitter and a receiver are necessary, and a receiver must be worn. That is, if the receiver is misplaced, it is not useful.
[0005]
In addition, since it is necessary to always turn on the transmitter to transmit weak radio waves when carrying, various inconveniences occur when applied to a mobile phone. For this reason, a device for preventing misplacement for mobile phones has not yet been put into practical use.
[0006]
By the way, in the home, since the mobile phone is usually placed in the charger holder, it is often left behind when going out. As described above, recent mobile phones have become increasingly smaller and lighter, and their physical presence has become thinner, making it difficult to determine whether they are carried by their weight, etc. When you feel you need to do it, you often realize that you forgot it. As a result, for example, an important business opportunity may be missed or a contact may not be made, which may lead to a credit problem.
[0007]
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object, as it is the configuration of a mobile phone, to be able to inform reliably misplaced mobile phone at the outer digital to the user An object of the present invention is to provide a device for preventing misplacement of a mobile phone.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
To achieve the above object, the present invention includes a charger holder for a portable telephone for use in a building, a motion sensor for detecting a reception unit and a human body doorway disposed in the vicinity of the building, the charger Including a sensor for detecting the presence or absence of the mobile phone with respect to the holder, and operating a notification unit such as a buzzer based on information from the transmission unit that transmits the detection signal to the reception unit and information from the reception unit and the human sensor Control means, and when the human body is detected by the human sensor and the detection signal transmitted from the transmission unit to the reception unit is “telephone present”, the notification unit Is operated, and a warning meaning that the mobile phone is left behind is issued.
[0009]
According to this, a person passing through the doorway is detected by the human sensor. At that time, if the mobile phone is placed in the charger holder, the control means determines that the mobile phone is left behind and issues a warning by the notification means. This prevents misplacement of the mobile phone when going out.
[0010]
Transmission from the transmission unit to the reception unit may be wireless, wired (dedicated line), or AC power line, but it does not require a transmission antenna and reception antenna, and does not require any new wiring work. For example, an AC power line is preferably used. A pyroelectric sensor is suitable for the human sensor.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the schematic diagram shown in FIG. The present invention provides a portable telephone in such households and offices, if when not in use many has been made on the assumption that it is placed in the charger holder.
[0012]
Therefore, in the actual施例this, a detector 40 and a transmitter 41 for detecting the presence or absence of the mobile phone TP in the charger holder 30. Detector 40 has a sensor 40a which is attached to the charger holder 30, "with the phone" to the transmitter 41 based on the output signals from the sensors 40a or sends a detection signal of "no phone".
[0013]
Incidentally, the sensor 40a is or microswitch switches, non-contact type, for example optical sensors, ultrasonic sensors, there may in a magnetic sensor.
[0014]
Moreover, the actual施例this (here, the entrance door) building doorway human sensor 42 disposed near the reception section 43 for receiving a transmission signal from the transmitter 41, the control unit 44 Contact and a buzzer 45 serving as notifying means driven by good beauty control section 44.
[0015]
The human sensor 42 detects a person passing through the entrance door, and various sensors used for opening / closing control of the automatic door, such as an ultrasonic sensor, a reflective infrared sensor, a pyroelectric sensor, a human weight. A tread pressure mat type sensor or the like for detecting the pressure is applicable, but among them, a pyroelectric sensor is preferable from the viewpoint of workability and maintenance during installation.
[0016]
The method of connecting the transmission unit 41 and the reception unit 43 can be a wireless communication method including a wireless transmitter 41a and a wireless receiver 43a, a wired communication method using a dedicated line 41b, or via an AC power supply line via the respective AC power supply lines 41c and 43c. Any method may be used, but the AC power supply line method is preferable in terms of simplicity.
[0017]
Control unit 44 may be microcomputers. Further, the microcomputer naturally includes a control element called CPU (central processing unit) or MPU (micro processing unit).
[0018]
Next, the operation of the real施例of this. A detection signal indicating whether or not the mobile phone TP is in the charger holder 30 is sent from the detector 40 to the transmitter 41. Upon receiving this detection signal, the transmission unit 41 sends a signal “with telephone” or “without telephone” to the reception unit 43.
[0019]
When the control unit 44 monitors the human sensor 42 and the receiving unit 43 and detects that a person has passed through a signal from the human sensor 42, the control unit 44 checks the received content of the receiving unit 43. If the received content of the receiving unit 43 is “with telephone”, it is determined that the cellular phone TP is left behind and the buzzer 45 is sounded to call attention to the person passing through the entrance door. When the received content of the receiving unit 43 is “no telephone”, the buzzer 45 is not sounded assuming that the mobile phone TP is carried.
[0020]
Note that a person who reports that the mobile phone TP has been left in the room is a person who leaves the building. Therefore, if there is a need to distinguish between people leaving the building and people entering the building, for example, human sensors are installed on both the indoor side and the outdoor side, and one of them detects the person first. You just have to judge whether
[0021]
That is, when the person is detected on and the person not detected is turned off, if the indoor human sensor is turned on first, it is determined that the person will leave the building, and the receiving unit The received contents of 43 are checked and a misplacement prevention operation is performed. In contrast, if the outdoor sensor is turned on first, it is determined that the person has entered the building and the misplacement prevention operation is not performed.
[0022]
Although the present invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, modifications, alterations, and equivalent techniques that would be easily conceived by those skilled in the art are also included in the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, a buzzer is used as the notification means, but it can be easily replaced with sound, a display lamp, or the like. Even in the microcomputer, since which port is used varies depending on the model, it can be arbitrarily selected.
[0023]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, when exiting from the buildings at the time of De Soto, for the mobile phone left behind in is checked, it is not necessary to inconvenience thoughts aware of the forgotten have on the go.
