Description

  The present invention relates to a monitoring system and a monitoring method for confirming the security status of a monitoring area and the safety of the user in another place after the user sets the security of the monitoring area.

  A conventional monitoring system is known that guards whether there is an abnormality in the monitoring area between the start and release of the security setting. However, immediately after starting the security setting, it is possible to enter the monitoring area by pushing down the security setting by ambushing or threatening the last person leaving the monitoring area (user) Conceivable. In this case, since the security setting has been normally released, the remote monitoring center that monitors the monitoring area cannot recognize the release as abnormal. Therefore, in order to recognize such a situation as abnormal, there is one that recognizes cancellation within a certain time from the start of security setting as abnormal.

  However, as described above, if the setting for recognizing an abnormality is made, if the last person who left the store has left something, etc., the monitoring center cancels it immediately after starting the security setting and enters the monitoring area again. Despite normal release, it will be recognized as abnormal and cause false alarms. In view of this, there is a security system in which an important area such as a vault in the monitoring area is distinctly distinguished from other areas. Specifically, when security settings are started, important areas are guarded, but in areas other than the important areas, the release until a certain time has elapsed from the start is not recognized as abnormal, and things left behind, etc. A technique for preventing misinformation due to the admission of the public is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  Further, in order to avoid the release of the security setting due to pushing robbery or the like, a first monitoring area (guarded area) having an entrance to the outside, and a second monitoring area that can be entered only from the first monitoring area, A technology for releasing the security of the second monitoring area is disclosed only when the security of the second monitoring area is released within a predetermined period after the security of the first monitoring area is released. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).

  Exemplary embodiments of a monitoring system and a monitoring method according to the present invention will be explained below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  First, the present embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The monitoring system according to the present embodiment transmits predetermined information to a monitoring center from a portable terminal possessed by the user at a predetermined position after the user has set to start monitoring the monitoring area. Thus, on the monitoring center side, the security status of the monitoring area and the safety of the user are confirmed.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the monitoring system according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the monitoring system according to the present embodiment includes a security device 500, a monitoring center 300,
It is comprised with the portable terminal 200, and each is connected via the network 110.

  The mobile terminal 200 receives radio waves from a GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite 100 in order to acquire position information indicating the current position of the user it possesses, and the acquired position information and usage specific to the user The person ID is transmitted to the monitoring center 300. Further, when the security mode of the monitoring area is set to the security state (switched) by the user, the security device 500 transmits switching information indicating that fact to the monitoring center 300. The monitoring center 300 confirms the security status of the monitoring area and the safety of the user after the security mode of the monitoring area is set to the security state based on the position information, the user ID, and the switching information. Yes, details will be described later.

  Here, the security mode is a mode that determines whether or not to notify the reporting destination when abnormality is detected in the monitoring area or whether or not notification to the monitoring area is possible, and the operation of the security device 500 when an abnormality is detected. It is a mode to determine. The security mode has a plurality of modes depending on the availability of notification, the notification destination, the presence / absence of notification to the monitoring area, and the like, and representative security modes include a security state and a security release state.

  First, the security state is a security mode that is set mainly when the user is out of the office and needs security, and when the security device receives a detection signal that is issued when an abnormality is detected by the sensor, This is a state in which an alarm for notifying the monitoring center of an abnormality is reported. In some cases, it is notified that an abnormality has been detected in the monitoring area where the security device is installed. This is for the purpose of intimidating an intruder or for the purpose of prompting an alarm release operation in the case of misinformation.

  The security release state is a security mode that is set mainly when the user is at home and does not need security. Even if the security device receives a detection signal that is detected when an abnormality is detected by the sensor, monitoring is performed. This is a state in which neither alarm notification to the center, abnormality detection in the monitoring area, nor abnormality notification to the notification destination terminal is performed. This is because even if an abnormality is detected by the sensor (detection of the presence of a person, detection of opening / closing of a door), it is determined that a resident at home has been detected.

  Next, details of the mobile terminal 200 will be described. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the mobile terminal 200. As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 200 mainly includes an operation unit 201, a position information acquisition unit 202, and a position transmission unit 203, and is equipped with a GPS function.

  First, when the switching mode is transmitted from the security device 500 to the monitoring center 300 when the security mode of the security device 500 is set to the security state, the receiving unit 351 receives the switching information (step S801).

  Then, the safety aim position timer unit 354 starts measuring a predetermined timer time determined in advance from the time when the receiving unit 351 receives the switching information (step S802). Next, the receiving unit 351 determines whether or not position information and a user ID of the current position have been received from the mobile terminal 200 (step S803). Then, when the position information and user ID of the current position are received by the receiving unit 351 (step S803: Yes), the position determining unit 353 is registered in the position information storage unit 320 using the received user ID as a search key. The position information of the safe aiming position corresponding to the user ID is acquired (step S804).

  Next, the position determination unit 353 compares the coordinates indicated by the acquired position information of the safety aim position with the coordinates indicated by the position information received in step S803 (step S805). Then, the position determination unit 353 determines whether or not the coordinates indicated by the received position information are included within a predetermined range from the coordinates indicated by the acquired position information of the safety aim position (step S806). If the coordinates indicated by the received position information are included within a predetermined range from the coordinates indicated by the position information of the acquired safety aiming position (step S806: Yes), the user can reach the vicinity of the safety aiming position. As a result, the process ends.

  On the other hand, when the coordinates indicated by the received position information are not included within a predetermined range from the coordinates indicated by the position information of the acquired safety aiming position (step S806: No), the monitoring processing unit 355 performs processing in the monitoring area. It is determined that an abnormality has occurred, for example, an intrusion robbery or the like, and a predetermined monitoring process such as transmission of a guard's express instruction to go to the monitoring area is performed to a waiting guard (step S808).

  Returning to step S803, if the position information and user ID of the current position have not been received by the receiving unit 351 (step S803: No), the safety aiming position timer unit 354 has passed a predetermined timer time. It is determined whether or not there is (step S807). If the predetermined timer time has not elapsed (step S807: No), the process returns to step S803 to determine whether the location information and the user ID from the mobile terminal 200 have been received.

  If the predetermined timer time has elapsed (step S807: Yes), the coordinates indicated by the received position information are included within a predetermined range from the coordinates indicated by the position information of the safety aim position by the position determination unit 353. Similarly to the case where it is not, the monitoring processing unit 355 determines that an abnormality has occurred in the monitoring area, and performs a predetermined monitoring process (step S808).

  In the position information confirmation process in the monitoring system according to the present embodiment, as described above, the position determination unit 353 determines that the coordinates indicated by the received position information are not included in the predetermined range. In this case, the monitoring processing unit 355 determines that an abnormality has occurred in the monitoring area, and performs a predetermined monitoring process. However, even when the position determination unit 353 determines that the coordinates indicated by the received position information are not included in the predetermined range, before the elapse of the predetermined timer time measured by the safety aim position timer unit 354, When the receiving unit 351 receives the position information and the user ID of the current position again, and the position determining unit 353 determines that the coordinates indicated by the received position information are included in the predetermined range, Instead of determining that an abnormality has occurred, it may be determined that the user has reached the vicinity of the safe aiming position, and the process may be terminated.

  As described above, according to the monitoring system of the present embodiment, the position information and the user ID of the predetermined safety aim position are transmitted from the portable terminal 200 to the monitoring center 300 and registered. Next, after the user sets the monitoring area to the security state using the security device 500, the current position information and the user ID at a predetermined position acquired from the mobile terminal 200 by the GPS function are transmitted to the monitoring center 300. Then, the monitoring center 300 determines whether or not the coordinates indicated by the position information transmitted from the predetermined position are included within a predetermined range from the coordinates indicated by the position information of the safety aim position corresponding to the user ID. do.

  Therefore, when the coordinates indicated by the received position information are included within a predetermined range from the coordinates indicated by the position information of the acquired safety aiming position, it is confirmed that the setting of the guard state in the monitoring area is maintained. In addition, it is possible to confirm the safety of the user by arriving near the safety aiming position registered in advance after the user sets the security state. In addition, when the coordinate indicated by the received position information is not included in the predetermined range from the coordinate indicated by the position information of the acquired safety aim position, or when the security release state is set, or within the predetermined timer time When the position is not received and the security release state is set, it can be recognized that an abnormality has occurred in the monitoring area, and whether or not the security release state is forcibly set by pushing robbery or the like is to be legitimately judged. Can do.

  In the present embodiment, the safety aim position registered in the safe position database of the position information storage unit 320 is configured to be registered at one place, but it may be configured to be able to register a plurality of positions. Good. Further, the safety aim position registered in the safe position database of the position information storage unit 320 may be updated. In this case, since the safety aiming position can be updated, it is possible to reduce the risk that the safety aiming position is known to a person or the like who wants to perform a push-robbery.

  In the monitoring system according to the present embodiment, the safety aim position timer unit 354 is provided in the control unit 350 on the monitoring center 300 side, but is provided in the control unit 550 on the security device 500 side. It may be configured. As described above, when the safety aiming position timer unit is provided in the security device, the measurement of the predetermined timer time determined in advance is started from the time when it is set to the security state, and the timer measurement is started together with the switching information. Is transmitted to the monitoring center 300. Further, when a predetermined timer time has elapsed, the fact is transmitted to the monitoring center 300. Thereby, the monitoring center 300 side can confirm whether or not a predetermined timer time has elapsed.

  Furthermore, although the mobile terminal 200 in the present embodiment is configured to mainly have the above-described functions, it may be configured to be integrated with a security key used when setting the security mode. .
