[First Embodiment]
Hereinafter, a housing equipment control system embodying the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, an example of the floor plan of the two-story house 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the house 10 includes an entrance 11, a corridor 12, a Japanese-style room 13, a living room 14, a dining room 15, a kitchen 16, a washroom 17, a toilet 18, and a bathroom 19 as main indoor spaces. The living room 14, the dining room 15, and the kitchen 16 are formed as a continuous integrated space (LDK space).

  The entrance 11 is provided with an entrance door 21, and a resident mainly goes in and out through the entrance door 21. Between the hallway 12 and each room adjacent thereto, doors and the like for entering and exiting each room are provided. Specifically, a sliding door 22 is provided at the doorway of the Japanese-style room 13, and an indoor door 23 is provided at the doorway of the dining room 15.

  In the house 10, various types of house devices such as home appliances are installed in each room. For example, the TV 14 and the audio device AU1 are installed in the living room 14, and the TV TV 2 is installed in the Japanese-style room 13. The audio device AU1 includes a music playback device, a radio, and the like. Each of these house devices is shared by a plurality of residents who live in the house 10. In addition, in the house 10, in addition to the second floor portion, there are other housing equipment (such as home appliances) such as lighting fixtures and air conditioners, which can also be subject to the automatic operation control of this embodiment, For convenience of explanation, explanation of other household equipment is omitted here.

  In the housing device control system of the present embodiment, a communication function is given to each housing device (such as the above-described television and audio device) of the house 10, and each housing device automatically operates based on wireless communication information with the portable communication device. It has come to be. That is, the house device is operated manually based on an input operation of an operation panel provided on the device or an input operation of a remote control device (remote operation device) for each device, Based on the wireless communication information, automatic driving is performed regardless of the input operation by the resident.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an outline of the present control system. In addition, FIG. 2 demonstrates the example which makes control object TVTV1 and audio equipment AU1 installed in the living room 14, and TVTV2 installed in the Japanese-style room 13. FIG.

  In FIG. 2, each home appliance such as TV TV1, TV2 and audio device AU1 has a wireless communication unit m1 for performing wireless communication with an external device, and power supply based on information received through the wireless communication unit m1. And a control unit m2 for controlling on / off, volume, program channel, and the like. The wireless communication unit m1 and the control unit m2 are configured to be supplied with a power supply system different from the main power source such as a television, and the main power source is in an off state (for example, the TV image display function is off). State).

  The televisions TV 1 and TV 2, the audio equipment AU 1, and the like are connected by a common signal line 31, and a personal computer (personal computer) 32 is connected to the signal line 31. The personal computer 32 has a built-in memory 32a. When the televisions TV1, TV2 and the audio equipment AU1 are used (when the power is turned on), information on the usage status is sequentially transmitted to the personal computer 32 through the signal line 31. Then, the use history information of the televisions TV1, TV2, audio equipment AU1, etc. is sequentially stored in the memory 32a by the personal computer 32. The usage history information includes information such as power on / off time, program, and volume.

  In this example, four inhabitants U1, U2, U3, U4 are assumed as dwellers of the house, and each of the inhabitants U1-U4 possesses portable devices K1-K4 as portable communication devices. Each of the portable devices K1 to K4 is a small portable device, and even if it is carried, it does not get in the way and is always easy to keep. For example, a bracelet-type portable device with a wristband attached to the portable device, a pendant-type portable device with a neck chain attached to the portable device, or a badge with a spring hook or badge pin attached to the portable device. It can be realized as a portable mobile device. In addition, electronic keys used in the smart key system are used as the portable devices K1 to K4, mobile phones used daily are used as the portable devices K1 to K4, and IC cards having communication functions are used as the portable devices K1 to K1. It can also be used as K4. It is also possible to use portable devices with different types and forms for each resident.

  The portable devices K1 to K4 include a wireless communication unit m3. For example, an area of about one room is set as a communication range (transmission / reception range) between the wireless communication units m1 such as the TVs TV1 and TV2 and the audio device AU1. Wireless communication is possible. The portable devices K1 to K4 are provided with a memory m4. The memory m4 includes individual ID information (identification information) that is different for each owner (residents U1 to U4) and the body of each owner. And user-specific information relating to preferences are stored.

  The ID information is information that allows at least a user who is authenticated by the control system and a plurality of users (for example, a family living together) to be authenticated individually. In addition, as information related to the body in the user-specific information, for example, information such as “age (or age group), gender, height, weight, visual ability, hearing ability” and the like are included. Similarly, information on preferences in the user-specific information includes, for example, “favorite television program, favorite radio program, favorite talent, favorite movie genre, favorite musician, favorite volume level” and the like.

  The above-mentioned user-specific information (information related to the body and preferences) is registered in the memory m4 by an input operation of each resident U1 to U4, that is, directly input, and updated (rewritten) as necessary. Specifically, a setting input unit composed of a large number of input buttons or the like is provided in the portable devices K1 to K4, and user-specific information is registered and updated by an input operation of the setting input unit. At this time, if a display unit is provided in the portable devices K1 to K4, the input operation becomes easy. In addition to direct input to the portable devices K1 to K4, a method of inputting user-specific information by the personal computer 32 or the like and transmitting the input information to the portable devices K1 to K4 by wireless or wired can be applied.

  In addition to the built-in memory, the memory m4 may be a removable storage medium such as a memory card. When the memory m4 is configured by a memory card, it is possible to easily register and update user-specific information on the personal computer side by connecting the memory card to the personal computer side.

  In the home appliance control system having the above configuration, each home appliance (TV TV1, TV2, audio device AU1, etc.) periodically transmits a request signal, whereas portable devices K1 to K4 enter the request signal reception area. In response to the request signal, ID information and user-specific information (information relating to the body and preferences) are transmitted. On the home appliance side, ID information and user-specific information transmitted from the portable devices K1 to K4 are received, and automatic operation is performed based on the received information.

  By the way, in the housing equipment control system mentioned above, since each resident U1-U4 can carry the portable equipment K1-K4, automatic operation of various electrical equipment can be implement | achieved, It is going to implement | achieve automatic operation of various electrical equipment. For this reason, it is necessary to remember to carry the portable devices K1 to K4. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a configuration is proposed in which each resident U1 to U4 monitors whether the portable devices K1 to K4 have been forgotten to carry, and if it is left somewhere, it can be easily found. That is, in this system, based on the ID information transmitted from the portable devices K1 to K4, a detection function for detecting the positions of the portable devices K1 to K4 in the house 10, and the portable devices K1 to K1 detected by the detection function. An informing function for informing the position of K4 by an informing device is added, thereby monitoring whether the portable devices K1 to K4 are forgotten to be carried (forgotten). Details will be described below.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing each room and space in the floor plan example of FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, ID information (radio wave signals including the ID information) transmitted from the portable devices K <b> 1 to K <b> 4 in each room or space in the house 10 (each room or space denoted by reference numerals 11 to 19). ID receivers 41 to 49 are provided. That is, the ID information is transmitted from the portable devices K1 to K4 at a constant cycle (for example, every 30 minutes), and the ID information is received by the respective ID receivers 41 to 49, and thus exists in the vicinity of the receiver. The portable devices K1 to K4 are detected. Each of the ID receivers 41 to 49 is installed on the ceiling of each room or space, for example, and the detection area in the room or space in which they are installed (in the room or almost all or the main area in the space) The mobile devices K1 to K4 existing inside are detected. In FIG. 3, the detection areas R1 to R9 of the ID receivers 41 to 49 are indicated by dotted circles. The ID receivers 41 to 49 are connected to the personal computer 32, and the detection results of the ID receivers 41 to 49 are sequentially transmitted to the personal computer 32.

  The ID receivers 41 to 49 may not be installed in all rooms or spaces, and may be installed only in places where the portable devices K1 to K4 are likely to be left behind. Moreover, it is not necessary to install in the bathroom 19 etc. with the low possibility that the portable devices K1-K4 will be brought in. An ID receiver is similarly installed in each room on the second floor of the house 10, but the description thereof is omitted.

  Each of the ID receivers 41 to 49 has a user detection function for detecting the inhabitants U1 to U4, and specifically includes a human sensor. The human sensor detects the presence or absence of residents U1 to U4 existing in the same area as the ID signal reception areas R1 to R9.

  Further, a notification device 51 is provided at the entrance 11, and this notification device 51 is also connected to the personal computer 32 in the same manner as the ID receivers 41 to 49. The notification device 51 is configured as, for example, an indoor device of a television door phone device, and includes a display panel including a liquid crystal panel and other display devices.

  The personal computer 32 specifies the positions of the portable devices K1 to K4 based on which room's ID receivers 41 to 49 have detected the portable devices K1 to K4, and a person provided in the ID receivers 41 to 49. The presence / absence of a resident in each room is determined based on the detection result of the sensor. And the position of each portable machine K1-K4 and the position of a resident are displayed on the display panel of the alerting | reporting apparatus 51. FIG.

In such a case, for the detection information of the portable devices K1 to K4, for example,
(1) “Your mobile device K1 is in the living room”
(2) "Mr. XX's portable machine K2 is in the kitchen"
(3) “□□ san ’s portable K3 is in the Japanese-style room”
(4) “△△ 's mobile device K4 is not detected”
Is displayed on the display panel of the notification device 51. For human detection information, for example,
(5) “There are people in the living and kitchen”
Is displayed on the display panel of the notification device 51.

  If the message images (1) to (5) above are displayed, it is detected that the portable devices K1, K2, and K3 are in the living room, kitchen, and Japanese room, respectively. Therefore, it can be determined that the portable device K3 in the Japanese-style room is misplaced.

  At this time, the above determination is made by a resident who looks at the message image on the display panel. Or it is performed by the personal computer 32 which recognizes both the positions of the portable devices K1 to K4 and the position of the resident. In the latter case, the personal computer 32 determines the relative positional relationship between the portable devices K1 to K4 and the resident, and determines whether the portable devices K1 to K4 are misplaced depending on whether there is a mismatch in the positions.

  In addition, when inhabitants U1-U4 are bathing, it is thought that the inhabitants and portable machine K1-K4 are separated. Therefore, it is better not to determine that the portable devices K1 to K4 are misplaced when taking a bath.

  When discrepancies occur between the positions of the portable devices K1 to K4 and the resident positions, the notification by the notification device 51 may be performed in a manner different from normal. For example, the screen message is changed from a normal color (for example, black) to a warning color (red).

  The image displayed on the display panel of the notification device 51 may be as follows. That is, the floor plan in the house 10 may be displayed on the display panel, and the positions of the portable devices K1 to K4 and the resident detection position may be superimposed on the displayed floor plan.

  Moreover, the structure which gives the audio | voice function to the alerting | reporting apparatus 51 and alert | reports the misplacement information of each portable machine K1-K4 by an audio message may be sufficient. In the configuration in which the notification device 51 has an audio function, a warning sound may be sounded when a mismatch occurs between the positions of the portable devices K1 to K4 and the resident position.

  As a housing equipment control system, a configuration in which an electric lock (electric locking device) is installed on the entrance door 21 and the electric lock is unlocked based on ID information transmitted from the portable devices K1 to K4 is also conceivable. In this case, the electric lock corresponds to the equipment that is the control target of this system.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the front door 21 is provided with an outdoor communication device 55 and an electric lock 56, which are electrically connected to a door control device 57. The outdoor communication device 55 can wirelessly communicate with the portable devices K1 to K4. In such a configuration, the outdoor communication device 55 transmits the request signal constantly or at a predetermined time period, whereas the portable devices K1 to K4 enter the communicable area with the outdoor communication device 55 and enter the request signal. Is received, the ID information is transmitted to the outdoor communication device 55. Then, when the outdoor communication device 55 receives the ID information, the ID information is transmitted to the door control device 57, and the door control device 57 authenticates with the ID information, and then performs an unlock signal or Outputs a lock signal. That is, in this case, if the ID information received from the portable devices K1 to K4 corresponds to the authorized user (residents U1 to U4), the electric lock 56 is automatically unlocked, and the ID information does not correspond to the authorized user. If so, the electric lock 56 is not unlocked.

  As described above, when the locking / unlocking control of the entrance door 21 is performed based on the ID information transmitted from the portable devices K1 to K4, if the user forgets to carry the portable devices K1 to K4 and goes out, he returns home. In this case, there is a disadvantage that the electric lock 56 of the front door 21 cannot be automatically unlocked.

  As countermeasures, when the residents U1 to U4 come to the entrance 11 to go out, the position information of the portable devices K1 to K4 is displayed on the display panel of the notification device 51. Specifically, a human sensor is provided in the entrance hall (the space on the indoor side of the entrance door 21), and the ID receivers 41 to 49 and The personal computer 32 performs misplacement detection of the portable devices K1 to K4. And when there are misplaced portable devices K1 to K4, it is notified by image or sound.

  The configuration may be such that the personal computer 32 determines that the residents U1 to U4 are going out based on the action schedules of the residents U1 to U4. For example, if the user commute to work every morning or go to school, it is assumed that he / she goes out at a fixed time every morning, and if the mobile devices K1 to K4 are detected misplaced and the misplaced portable devices K1 to K4 exist This may be notified by image or sound.

  In addition, when the resident U1 to U4 goes out without carrying the portable devices K1 to K4, the resident U1 to U4 is notified to the resident U1 to U4 using other communication means such as a mobile phone. Also good. Specifically, when it is detected that the portable devices K1 to K4 are in the house 10 after the residents U1 to U4 have gone out, the personal computer 32 communicates with the mobile phones owned by the residents U1 to U4 (for example, Phone call and email delivery) and send a message such as “Your mobile device is left behind at home”. Thereby, even if it forgets to carry the portable devices K1-K4 and goes out, it can grasp the forgetting to carry.

  Moreover, the following structure may be employ | adopted as a countermeasure when the resident U1-U4 goes out without carrying the portable devices K1-K4. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, a living body information acquiring device 58 that acquires the living body information of each resident is provided on the outdoor side of the house 10, and the living body information acquiring device 58 is electrically connected to the door control device 57. Has been. The biological information acquisition device 58 is preferably provided integrally with an outdoor device of a TV door phone device, for example. By installing the biological information acquisition device 58 on the outdoor device, a biological state acquisition operation at a position that is easy to understand and operate for a resident who has returned home from the outside. Can be performed. As biometric information, fingerprints, retinas, iris patterns, blood vessel vein patterns, voices (voiceprints), and the like are used. Further, the biological information of the residents U1 to U4 is registered in advance in the memory of the door control device 57.

  When the biometric information (fingerprints, etc.) of the residents U1 to U4 is acquired by the biometric information acquisition device 58, the door control device 57 collates the acquired data related to the biometric information with the registered data, and based on the collation result. Authentication of residents U1-U4 is performed. And when authenticating that it is a regular resident U1-U4 (registered user), an unlock signal is output with respect to the electric lock 56 of the entrance door 21. FIG.

  Here, it is also possible to include that the resident's portable devices K <b> 1 to K <b> 4 are left in the house 10 as a condition for performing the locking / unlocking control of the entrance door 21 based on the resident's biological information.

  According to the embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

  The position of the portable devices K1 to K4 in the house 10 is detected based on the ID information transmitted from each of the portable devices K1 to K4, and the notification device 51 notifies the detected position of the portable devices K1 to K4. The user who owns the portable devices K1 to K4 (owner) can easily specify where the portable device is left in the house 10. Moreover, it is possible to monitor whether a person other than the user himself / herself has forgotten to carry the portable devices K1 to K4. Thereby, an effective measure can be realized for forgetting to carry the portable devices K1 to K4. As a result, it is possible to always properly implement control of the equipment implemented based on the communication of the portable devices K1 to K4.

  For example, when a child or an elderly person carries the portable devices K1 to K4, it is assumed that the child or elderly person himself / herself does not notice that he / she has forgotten to carry the portable devices K1 to K4. ) Confirms the notification content of the notification device 51, so that the child or elderly person forgets to carry the portable devices K1 to K4, and can carry the portable devices K1 to K4.

  A configuration in which the ID receivers 41 to 49 are installed in each room or space of the house 10 and in which room the portable devices K1 to K4 exist based on the detection signals of the ID receivers 41 to 49 Therefore, it is possible to easily identify in which room or space the portable devices K1 to K4 have been left behind.

  Since each ID receiver 41 to 49 is provided with a user detection function for detecting the position of each resident U1 to U4, in addition to the position detection of the portable devices K1 to K4, the position detection of the resident U1 to U4 can also be performed. Therefore, it can be grasped at a glance that someone of each resident U1 to U4 (family) does not carry the portable devices K1 to K4. Thereby, it becomes possible to instruct a resident carrying the portable devices K1 to K4 to carry the portable devices K1 to K4.

  Since it is set as the structure which implements alerting | reporting by the alerting | reporting apparatus 51 in the aspect different from usual when the mismatch and the position of resident | mobile_unit K1-K4 arise, it is emphasized that the portable devices K1-K4 forget to carry around.
