  The home system 11 includes a user terminal device 2, a home device 1, a camera 10, and the like, and these are also connected to the network. When the camera 10 is installed outside the home as an imaging device capable of acquiring a video image outside the home and receives a recorded image acquisition request from the control unit 44 in the center server 9, a recording process is performed, and the center server 9 receives the recorded image as a response. Reply to

  The configuration in the home device 1 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, and the home control unit (master unit) 15 controls each installed device in the home, and the communication device unit 16, security The device unit 17, the control device unit 18, the sensor device 19 and the like are controlled. The home control unit 15 can set the outing mode, the sleeping mode, the home mode, and the like, and is connected to the network of FIG.

  For example, when the outing mode is set, the outing person is notified by voice “Please confirm the door lock”, and when the door lock is completed, the security device unit 17 or the like operates to set the security function.

  The communication device unit 16 is connected to a door phone 161, a door phone compatible phone 162, a sub-master device 163, and the like, and can communicate with visitors and the outside. A fire device 171, an emergency contact device 172, a crime prevention device 173, etc. are connected to the security device section 17, so that an alarm or emergency contact at the time of a fire occurrence, an alarm or emergency contact for an intruder can be performed. The control device unit 18 is connected to an electric lock device 181, a lighting device 182, an air conditioning device 183, a window / skylight opening / closing device 184, a shutter opening / closing device 185, etc. It can be done.

  For example, in the case of an electric lock device 181, the open / close state of a lock such as a door or a window, the brightness of illumination light in the case of a lighting fixture 182, the intensity of air conditioning in the case of an air conditioner 183, and the window / skylight open / close device 184. If so, the opening / closing state can be controlled from inside or outside, and if it is a shutter switch, the opening / closing state of the shutter can be controlled from inside or outside. The window / skylight opening / closing device 184 can control opening / closing of the window and the skylight separately.

  The sensor device 19 includes various sensors installed to detect the state of the house. For example, the sensor device 19 includes a light sensor for controlling the lighting fixture 182, a temperature sensor for controlling the air conditioner 183, a window / It consists of an open / close sensor for controlling the opening / closing of the skylight and the shutter, a fire sensor, a gas sensor, and the like.

  The control unit 44 is a part that performs various controls, calculations, processes, and the like of the center server 9 and is configured by a CPU, a RAM, and the like.

  The weather information providing means 8 comprises, for example, an external information providing server or the like, and performs a weather information providing service. The method of providing weather information includes a case where the center server 9 periodically obtains the weather information and a case where the weather information is sent from the weather providing means 8. The update frequency, the time interval of the weather forecast information, the region The density of the mesh varies depending on the service. The weather providing means 8 may be any means as long as it constantly updates the weather information and keeps the latest state.

  The user terminal devices 2 and 12 are capable of notifying a user who is in or out of the house using a sound function such as a speaker or a graphic display screen such as a liquid crystal screen. This is a control target device for the sound generation control and screen display control from the control unit 44.

  For example, it may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a device such as a personal computer, or a device such as an alarm device. If the user terminal devices 2 and 12 are connected to the center server 9 via a network, the center server 9 receives an e-mail, sound, voice data, etc. from the center server 9 or sends a home device control request using a web browser or the like. Can be sent against.

  When the communication unit 3 receives the state change notification of the installed device in the home device 1, the communication unit 3 notifies the monitoring unit 44 of the arithmetic processing unit 4. In addition, when a home device control request or a home device status acquisition request from the monitoring unit 44 is received, a control request or status acquisition request is sent to the installed device in the home device 1.

  When the communication unit 6 receives the weather information request signal from the arithmetic processing unit 4, the communication unit 6 goes to obtain weather information from the weather information providing means 8. Also, when a control request is received from the user terminal devices 2 and 12, it notifies the arithmetic processing unit 4.

  The mail creation unit 41 in the arithmetic processing unit 4 acquires the user's mail address from the user information DB 54 of the storage unit 5, writes necessary information in the mail, and transmits the mail to the user terminal devices 2 and 12. The weather information acquisition unit 43 periodically sends a weather information request signal to the communication unit 6. Information acquired in this manner is stored as weather information in the weather information DB 51.

  Each database in the storage unit 5 updates or presents the corresponding information in response to an update request or an acquisition request from the arithmetic processing unit 4. The control target installation device in the home device 1 is a monitored control device such as an opening / closing state of a lighting window or a shutter, an operation of an air conditioner, an operation of an air purifier, or the like.

  The weather information DB 51 holds, for example, weather forecast information from a weather forecast information including the current time to a certain time later as shown in FIG. FIG. 3 shows an example in which forecast information obtained by dividing one day into three time segments is held for two days. In addition to the probability of precipitation, the types of weather information can hold various types of data such as weather, humidity, and pollen index. The types of these data vary depending on the service contents of the weather information providing means 8. The weather information is updated by the weather information acquisition unit 43 of the arithmetic processing unit 4.

  In the user information DB 54, for example, the mail address of the mail notification destination is registered as shown in FIG. You can register multiple people's email addresses. In the example of FIG. 4, the addresses of three families are registered together with the display names.

  Control plan information is stored in the control plan information DB 52, and as shown in FIG. 5, weather conditions and device state conditions are associated with each other (set) and stored. The weather conditions are the three items of target weather information, threshold value, and forecast range. The device state condition is expressed by two items of the target device and its state. Multiple device status conditions can be set for one weather condition. In FIG. 5, when the weather condition is the probability of precipitation, the set equipment includes three windows, a skylight, and a shutter. In addition, it is possible to record whether or not notification has been performed so that a flag can be recorded in each target device. When the flag of 1 is recorded, it indicates that the user terminal devices 2 and 12 have been notified of mail transmission or the like. In the home information DB 53, as shown in FIG. 6, each installed device (target device) of the home device 1 and an address corresponding to each installed device (target device) are recorded. Thereby, the address of the installed device to be controlled in the home can be known.

  FIG. 7 shows an operation flow of the device monitoring control system. The operation of the device monitoring control system will be described below. The weather information is updated regularly, and the update time is predetermined. First, in S1, the weather information acquisition unit 43 confirms whether or not the weather information acquisition time has come, and in the case of the acquisition time, a weather information update process (S2) is performed.

  The flow of the weather information update process in S2 is shown in FIG. When weather information is to be acquired in S1, the process moves to S21 in FIG. The weather information acquisition unit 43 sends a weather information acquisition request to the communication unit 6 and receives a response from the weather information providing means 8. Further, the weather information in the weather information DB 51 is updated with the received data.

  In S22, the weather information acquisition unit 43 performs comparison with the weather conditions in the control plan information DB 52 based on the obtained weather information. As described above, in the control plan information DB 52, weather conditions and equipment state conditions are stored in association with each other as control plans. For example, in the description of FIG. Then, if the precipitation probability exceeds a threshold value of 70% for the weather information within the forecast range of 3 hours, the process proceeds to S23, and if it does not exceed the threshold value of 70%, the processes from S23 to S25 are performed. Without moving to S3.

  For example, if the weather information in the weather information DB 51 is updated at 6:00 on November 19, and the weather forecast information at that time is as shown in FIG. 3, the forecast range is within 3 hours. Since the precipitation probability is 30%, the process proceeds to S3. However, if the update time is 18:00 on November 19 and the weather prediction information in FIG. 3 is used, the next step S23 is performed because the precipitation probability is 80% within the forecast range of 3 hours.

  In S23, the monitoring unit 42 refers to the device state condition in the control plan of FIG. 5 referred to in S22. In order to confirm the current state of the target device, window, skylight, and shutter corresponding to the precipitation probability of the weather information, a home device state acquisition request is sent to the communication unit 3 and a response is received.

  In S24, the monitoring unit 42 sets the status values of the device status conditions in the control plan and the current status detected by the monitoring unit 42 for the windows, skylights, and shutters among the home devices 1 that are the target devices in S23. Check if you are doing it.

  For example, if “window” is open as the current state among windows, skylights, and shutters, and the skylight and shutter are closed, the state value “open” of the device state condition in FIG. 5 matches the current state. Since only “window” is used, an email requesting notification and determination that the closing control of “window” is necessary is created and transmitted (S25).

  For mail creation and transmission, the mail creation unit 41 confirms the information in the user information DB 54 and acquires the user's mail address. For example, “The window is open. "Do you want to close it?" Next, the control unit 44 checks whether or not the user's control request for “window” has arrived from the user terminal devices 2 and 12 (S3). After confirming the contents, a control request is transmitted to the home device 1 via the communication unit 3, and the window / skylight opening / closing device 184 is operated to close the "window" (S4).

  In the above processing, FIG. 10 shows the relationship between the weather information acquisition time, that is, the weather information update time, the comparison processing of S22 and S24, and the notification processing to the user of S25 in time series. The time described as “comparison” in FIG. 10 is the time when the weather information is updated, and is also the time when the comparison processing of S22 and S23 is performed. Also, the time indicated by ◯ indicates that any of the conditions in the comparison process of S22 or S23 is not satisfied. That is, when the weather information does not exceed the threshold, or in the above example, the “window” is not open. On the other hand, the time represented by x indicates that both conditions of the comparison process of S22 or S23 are satisfied. That is, the weather information exceeds the threshold value, and in the above example, the “window” is open. In this case, a notification process is performed as shown in FIG.

  As described above, the center server 9 periodically acquires and updates the weather information, compares the weather condition of the control plan with the equipment state condition each time, and notifies the user by e-mail or the like if the window is open Therefore, the user can determine whether or not the window opening / closing control is possible after confirming actual weather conditions and window conditions, although the information is uncertain weather information. For example, if something is caught in the window, or if the forecast is raining but still clear, appropriate control can be performed without closing the window.

  Usually, immediately after this, since the state from the home device 1 will not change again (S5 NO), the process proceeds to S8, but when there is no control request from the user (S3 NO), the monitoring unit again 42, it is determined whether or not a change in state has been received from each device in the home device 1 (S5), and the change in the state of the device in the corresponding home device 1 already notified by e-mail in S25 is received. Is determined (S6). In order to make the determination in step S6, the flag of the control plan information DB 52 is confirmed (check the flag in FIG. 5). If the flag is 1, the corresponding target device is selected and the process proceeds to S7.

  For example, in the above example, when the state of the “window” of the home device 1 changes from the open state to the closed state, the monitoring unit 42 receives the state change. If the “window” is confirmed, the flag is 1. Therefore, it is identified that the device is the target device transmitted by mail in S25, and the process proceeds to S7. In S <b> 7, the mail creation unit 41 confirms the user information DB 54, acquires the user's mail address, and transmits a notification such as “The window notified earlier has been closed” to the acquired mail address. That is, it is notified that the state of the installed device in the corresponding home device 1 that has already been notified by e-mail in S25 has changed further and the user does not need to control the installed device.

  In S8, it is determined whether or not there has been an instruction to stop the processing of the entire system. If the instruction has been received, the operation process ends. Normally, once the device monitoring control system is executed, it is continuously operated unless a measure such as forcibly stopping the power supply is taken, and the above operation is a loop process waiting for an interrupt process.

  When a notification is sent to multiple people, or when the person who goes out and the person answering in the house are separated, the other person such as the user's family will shut the window without permission. There is a case. At this time, a notification that "the window has been closed" is sent again by e-mail or the like. As a result, if the user was unable to control immediately after the notification, such as a few minutes after seeing the email received earlier, “The window is open. Do you want to control (close)?” In addition, it is possible to know that the window has already been closed, and it is possible to avoid unnecessary confirmation control work.

  Incidentally, although it is divided into the center server 9 and the home system 11 in FIG. 1, they may be integrated. Since the user terminal devices 2 and 12 may be any device having a web browser function such as a mobile phone or a PC, or a device having a speaker or screen in the house, the notification means is not limited to e-mail but on the web. A message may be displayed as long as the content is transmitted to the user.

  The same effect can be obtained by pollen index instead of precipitation probability. In addition, when weather forecast is used, the forecast data becomes discrete data such as “sunny”, “rain”, “cloudy”, etc. In this case, instead of registering the threshold value in the control plan, the value such as “rain” is not changed. If registered and matched, a notification process is performed. In the case of the pollen index, not only windows and skylights but also air cleaners can be added as target devices shown in FIG.

  FIG. 9 shows another operation flow of the device monitoring control system. As described above, the out-of-home mode, the sleep mode, the home mode, and the like can be set by the home control unit (master unit) 15. Therefore, even when the outing mode is set or when the status of the home device changes, the weather information, the current state of the home device state, and the control plan conditions are compared, and an alarm is generated in the user terminal device when the conditions are met. Is.

  Compared with the operation flow of FIG. 7, S10 and the weather information update process (S2) are the same, and thus the description thereof is omitted. The process of S3 in FIG. 7 is omitted because it is not particularly necessary. Further, the subsequent processing when it is determined Yes in S11 of FIG. 9 is changed, and S15 to S18 are added to the main flow. In addition to the functions described above, the user terminal devices 2 and 12 can also perform mode change inputs such as the outing mode, the sleeping mode, and the home mode. When the mode is changed, a mode change notification is sent to the center server 9.

  In S11, as in the embodiment of FIG. 7, the arithmetic processing unit 4 confirms whether or not the state change notification from the installed device in the home device 1 has been received from the communication unit 3, and if received, proceeds to S12. In S12, the weather information acquisition part of the arithmetic processing part 13 compares with the weather condition of the control plan of the control plan information DB 52 based on the weather forecast information updated in S10. The control plan has two conditions, a weather condition and an equipment state condition. When the precipitation probability is taken as an example of the target weather condition in the weather condition, a threshold of 70% is set for the weather information within the forecast range of 3 hours. Compare and judge whether it exceeds the value.

  In addition, the monitoring unit 42 confirms whether or not the contents of the in-home device state change notification received in S <b> 11 match the contents of the device state condition of the control plan in the control plan information DB 52. The monitoring unit 42 reads the contents of the control plan from the control plan information DB 52 and compares the device state condition with the state of the installed device in the home device 1 that has changed.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the precipitation probability is selected as the target weather information, there are three device state conditions: a window, a skylight, and a shutter, and the states are all open. Therefore, it is confirmed whether or not the content of the received in-home device state change notification is “one of windows, skylights, or shutters has been opened”. If the user in the house performs an operation of opening the “window” and the monitoring unit 42 detects that the state of the “window” has changed from the closed state to the open state, it matches the state value of the device state condition. Then, the control unit 44 controls the warning display or warning sound on the user terminal device 2 (S14). The monitoring unit 42 determines whether the data received from the home system 11 via the communication unit 3 is a mode change notification to the outing mode (S15). In S16, the same processing as S12 described above is performed.

  In S <b> 17, the monitoring unit 44 confirms whether or not the content of the device status condition of the control plan in the control plan information DB 52 matches the current device status. The monitoring unit 44 confirms the contents of the control plan from the control plan information DB 52 and sends a home device state acquisition request to the communication unit 3 and receives a response in order to confirm the device state condition. If the probability of precipitation is selected as the target weather information, there are three device state conditions: the target device is a window, a skylight, and a shutter, and the states are all open. Therefore, it is confirmed whether or not the content of the response under reception is “one of windows, skylight, or shutter is open”. In S18, the same processing as S14 described above is performed.

  In FIG. 11, in addition to the time when the weather information is updated, the time when the outing mode is set or when the home device state changes, the time when the weather information and the current state of the home device state are compared with the conditions of the control plan Shows the relationship. The time described as “comparison” in FIG. 11 is the same as the comparison processing in FIG. In addition to the comparison process periodically performed as shown in FIG. 10, the comparison process is also performed when going out (when the outing mode is set). Moreover, it can replace with the time when the in-home apparatus state changed instead of the time described as going out mode setting. As described above, in addition to the periodic comparison process, the comparison processes of S12, S13, S16, and S17 are performed at a necessary timing, and when the outing mode is set, both conditions of S16 and S17 are satisfied. In addition, when the in-home device state changes, if both the conditions of S12 and S13 are satisfied, it becomes x as shown in the figure and the notification process is performed.

  In the equipment monitoring and control system as described above, the control plan is that the probability of precipitation is greater than or equal to the threshold for weather conditions, and that the window is open for equipment state conditions. Check the weather condition and the equipment state condition, and warn the user if the conditions are met. Thereby, when the user opens the window without knowing the weather conditions, the user can know information such as raining by confirming the warning.

  Further, a similar warning can be given when the outing mode is set. The room where the window is opened is not necessarily the same as the room where the warning is sounded, and even if there is an error in the confirmation of the warning, a warning is given to the user again by warning again before going out. You can hear the situation and make sure of the situation.

  Next, an operation using an image taken by the camera 10 will be described. Although the operation flow is the same as that in FIG. 7, the process of S25 in the weather information update process is changed. As described above, in S <b> 25, the mail creation unit 41 confirms the user information DB 54, acquires the mail address, and writes “Window is open. Do you want to control?” In the mail text. In addition, the control unit 44 sends a recorded image acquisition request to the camera 10 to acquire a recorded image. The mail creation unit 41 attaches the recorded image acquired by the control unit 44 to the mail, completes the creation of the mail, and transmits it. Thereby, a camera image can be displayed on the user terminal device 12 outside the home.

  The current condition, the weather condition of the control plan, and the equipment state condition are compared, and when the comparison result matches the condition, a camera video is recorded, and an image can be sent by e-mail to a portable terminal such as a cellular phone. Thereby, even if the user is far away, the weather condition can be confirmed immediately.

  In the above embodiment, the recorded image is displayed on the user terminal device 12, but the same processing may be performed on the user terminal device 2 in the home system 11. In this case, the camera image display on the user terminal device 2 is performed in the processing of steps S14 and S18 in the operation flow of FIG.
