Description

  For example, when a specific mode is set, the present invention performs a predetermined disaster prevention operation by preventing an intruder from entering a building such as a house or a site without permission, or detecting a fire or the like. The present invention relates to a mode automatic switching device for switching modes, a security system using the mode automatic switching device, a mode automatic switching method, and a mode automatic switching program.

In general, for example, an intruder into a building or site, such as a house, is intimidated by sounding a warning sound or lighting a red light to prevent intruders from entering. In addition, there is a security system provided with a crime prevention means for preventing the intrusion by reporting to a security company or the like and sending a security guard.
As technologies related to such a security system, for example, those described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 have been proposed.

A security system described in Patent Document 1 includes a home server connected to a home network, such as a washing machine, a television, and a lighting device, a home server connected to the home network and having a function of controlling drive of the home appliance, And an operation terminal for instructing the home server to switch between the mode and the absence mode.
The home server includes means for detecting time, and stores the operation information of the home appliance collected by the operation information collection means and the time at that time as a drive history.

When the home server of this security system is switched to the absence mode on the operation terminal, the driving history is statistically processed to create an operation schedule including an estimated driving time and an operation method for each home appliance, and according to the operation schedule, Outputs drive instructions to home appliances.
As a result, the home appliance is automatically driven even when the security system is in the absence state, so that it can appear as if it is at home, and intruders can be prevented from entering.

The security system described in Patent Document 2 is determined to be absent by determining the presence / absence of a person in the house based on a human sensor that detects a person in the house and information from the human sensor. And a control device for turning on a warning mode.
And a security system operates a crime prevention function, when it is installed in a house and the alert mode is in an ON state.
In this way, the security system automatically enters the alert mode based on the detection of the human sensor, so that an intruder can be prevented from entering without performing a predetermined operation.

By the way, the security system described in Patent Document 1 may not be able to drive home appliances and prevent intruders from entering when the user forgets to switch to the absence mode when going out.
Further, since there is no switching mode unless the switching operation is performed, there is a problem that this operation is complicated.

Moreover, although the security system described in Patent Document 2 can be automatically set to a warning mode, since a human sensor is used, for example, in a house where a pet or the like is present, the human sensor may malfunction. was there.
For this reason, in this security system, when a pet or the like reacts to the human sensor, the mode is not switched to the alert mode, so that intruders are not sufficiently prevented from entering.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a mode automatic switching device, a security system including a mode automatic switching device, a mode automatic switching method, and a mode automatic switching program according to the present invention will be described.
The mode automatic switching method will be described in the operation (action) part of the mode automatic switching device of the security system.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration diagram of a security system using the mode automatic switching device according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in the figure, this security system is, for example, a home security system provided in a house or the like, and a switching target device 1 capable of switching settings to two or more modes including a specific mode (M1); And a mode automatic switching device S for switching the mode of the switching target device 1.

The switching target device 1 performs, for example, a predetermined crime prevention operation or a predetermined operation during a disaster. In the present embodiment, the switching target device includes, for example, an intruder such as a thief, in particular, a crime prevention means for crime prevention of a vacant nest.
Here, the mode set on the switching target device 1 side is set when the user is absent or sleeping, etc., and is a warning mode M1 for preventing the intruder from entering, when the user is at home, etc. There is a home mode M2 or the like that is set.

The switching target device 1 includes a sensor 10, an alarm device 11, and a monitoring unit 12 as crime prevention means.
The sensor 10 is provided with one or two or more (four in this embodiment). For example, the sensor 10 detects the intruder intrusion by detecting the opening / closing of a window.
In order to intimidate the intruder, the alarm device 11 includes, for example, a speaker that emits a sound such as a siren, a light that projects on the intruder, and the like.
When the sensor 10 detects that the sensor 10 is open, the monitoring unit 12 causes the alarm device 11 connected to the monitoring unit 12 to perform a predetermined operation as an intruder.

  Further, the mode automatic switching device S includes a changeover switch 2 that switches a mode by a user operation, a history storage unit 3 that stores a mode switching history, and a monitoring unit according to the mode switched by the changeover switch 2 12 and a clock unit 5 as clock means for providing time information including date and time.

The changeover switch 2 constitutes a changeover operation means for switching the setting of the monitoring unit 12 of the switchable device 1 to the alert mode M1 or the home mode M2 by operation.
Moreover, the changeover switch 2 is comprised by the pushbutton switch, for example, and switches the warning mode M1 and the home mode M2 in order, whenever it pushes by a user.

The history storage unit 3 is configured as a switching time storage unit that stores a history of switching times when the mode is switched to a specific mode by operating the changeover switch 2.
The history storage unit 3 stores the time when the mode is switched to the alert mode M1 and the home mode M2 together with the date.
The history storage unit 3 uses a writable storage device such as a flash memory, for example.
The history storage unit 3 stores, for example, a history of switching times for a predetermined period such as one week, one month, one year, etc., and when there is further operation of the changeover switch 2, the old history is used. It is erased in order.

When the operation of the changeover switch 2 is performed, the mode management unit 4 switches the setting of the monitoring unit 12 to the warning mode M1 and the home mode M2, and performs control according to these on the monitoring unit 12.
In addition, the mode management unit 4 causes the monitoring unit 12 to activate the alarm device 11 when the sensor 10 detects the opening of the window in the warning mode M1. Further, in the home mode M2, even if the sensor 10 detects the opening of the window, the monitoring unit 12 does not activate the alarm device 11.

  Based on the history stored in the history storage unit 3, the mode management unit 4 calculates an estimated switching time calculation unit 40 that calculates a predetermined estimated switching time to be switched to the warning mode M1 by operating the changeover switch 2, and estimated switching. Based on the estimated switching time calculated by the time calculating means 40, automatic mode switching means 41 for automatically switching the setting of the security means to the warning mode M1 is provided.

The estimated switching time calculating unit 40 includes a history extracting unit 42 that extracts a history stored in the history storage unit 3 and an average switching time calculating unit 43 that calculates an average switching time.
Then, the estimated switching time calculation unit 40 calculates, as the estimated switching time, an average of switching times excluding switching times exceeding a predetermined error range with respect to the average switching time from the extraction history extracted by the history extracting unit 42. .

The history extraction unit 42 extracts a history of a predetermined period (in the present embodiment, the latest seven days) such as, for example, every season, every month, or the past several days, from the history stored in the history storage unit 3.
In this way, since the estimated switching time calculation means 40 can calculate the estimated switching time based on the life pattern of the user for a predetermined period, the calculation accuracy of the estimated switching time can be improved.
The average switching time calculating unit 43 calculates the average switching time from the history extracted by the history extracting unit 42.

In the present embodiment, the estimated switching time calculation means 40 excludes switching times that differ by one hour or more as an error range compared to the average switching time.
In this way, the estimated switching time is not easily affected by the switching time that varies greatly, for example, on holidays, and the estimated switching time calculating means 40 can easily estimate the estimated switching time correctly.

In the present embodiment, the mode automatic switching means 41 automatically performs only switching from the home mode M2 to the warning mode M1.
The mode automatic switching unit 41 includes a switching grace unit 44 that automatically switches the mode by the mode automatic switching unit 41 after a predetermined grace period from the estimated switching time.
In the switching grace unit 44, for example, 30 minutes is set as the grace time.

In this way, it is possible to prevent the situation where the timing of leaving the house is changed, and in particular, the situation where the user is still at home can be switched to the alert mode M1.
In particular, even if the user goes out at the same time every day, the outing time often varies, so that the alarm device 11 or the like operates in the alert mode M1 immediately before going out. The situation can be prevented.
Thereby, the user can save the trouble of stopping the alarm device 11 immediately before going out.

  In addition, the mode management unit 4 detects whether or not the changeover switch 2 has switched to the warning mode M1 by the estimated change time, and the operation detection means 45 sets the changeover switch 2 to the warning mode M1. When switching is detected, the time information of the clock unit 5 is stored in the history storage unit 3 as the switching time, and the estimated switching is performed when the operation detection unit 45 does not detect switching to the alert mode M1 by the switch 2. And a switching time writing unit 46 for storing the time in the switching time storage unit as a switching time.

The operation detection means 45 makes the mode automatic switching means 41 in a state in which the crime prevention means can be automatically switched to the warning mode M1 when the switching by the changeover switch 2 is not detected by the estimated switching time.
In this way, the mode automatic switching unit 41 overlaps the monitoring unit 12 because the mode automatic switching unit 41 cannot automatically change the mode with respect to the monitoring unit 12 only when the operation detection unit 45 has not detected. It is possible to prevent a situation where the operation instruction is performed.

The switching time writing unit 46 normally obtains time information and date from the clock unit 5 and stores it in the history storage unit 3 when the operation detection unit 45 detects switching by the changeover switch 2 before the grace period elapses. The switching time is stored.
Further, the switching time writing unit 46 stores the estimated switching time in the history storage unit 3 as the switching time when the mode switching is automatically performed by the mode automatic switching unit 41.

Thereby, the switching time when the mode is switched by the mode automatic switching means 41 can be stored in the history storage unit 3.
Therefore, even if the actual switching time is delayed by the switching grace means 44, it is considered that the changeover switch 2 has been operated at the estimated switching time, and therefore the distribution of the switching time can be made closer to the average of the switching time. In addition, the estimated switching time calculation unit 40 can calculate a more accurate estimated switching time.

That is, when the switching time writing unit 46 always stores the switching time in the history storage unit 3 with the actual time information, the mode switching is performed when the grace time is set by the switching grace unit 44. Since this is after a grace period, the estimated switching time of the later date calculated by the estimated switching time calculation means 40 is gradually delayed.
On the other hand, when the switching time writing unit 46 writes the estimated switching time in the history storage unit 3 as the switching time, the above situation is prevented, so that the estimated switching time calculating unit 40 calculates the accurate estimated switching time. it can.

In addition, the mode management unit 4 is configured by, for example, a microprocessor including a RAM and a ROM, and the above-described functional means is realized by executing a program stored in the ROM.
For example, the clock unit 5 is set in advance by a person or the like, and an existing clock may be used.

Moreover, the mode automatic switching device S includes automatic switching notification means for notifying that the mode automatic switching means 41 automatically switches to the warning mode M1.
The automatic switching notification means is composed of, for example, a light emitter such as a speaker or LED, and is operated by the mode management unit 4 during the grace period or a predetermined time before the grace period ends.
In the present embodiment, the automatic switching notification means is composed of a notification device 47 having a speaker that generates a low-volume buzzer sound, and is activated one minute before the end of the grace period.
In this way, when the user is at home, the notification device 47 can know that the mode is automatically switched. Therefore, when the user continues to stay at home during the day or the like, even if the setting of the monitoring unit 12 attempts to become the alert mode M1, the user operates the changeover switch 2 or a cancel switch 48 described later, so that the home mode M2 It can be.

Further, the mode automatic switching device S includes cancel operation means that disables automatic switching to the warning mode M1 by the mode automatic switching means 41 by operation.
In the present embodiment, the cancel operation means is constituted by a push button type cancel switch 48. If the cancel switch 48 is operated during the grace period, the mode switching function by the mode automatic switching means 41 of that day is disabled. The cancel switch 48 is in a grace period, and in the operating state in which the notification device 47 generates a buzzer sound, if it is operated during the grace period, the notification device 47 puts the notification device 47 into a non-operational state.
In this way, for example, even when the user is at home during the day, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the user automatically switches to the alert mode M1.

In addition, the security system of this embodiment includes a housing 6 that covers the monitoring unit 12, the mode management unit 4, the history storage unit 3, and the clock unit 5.
A changeover switch 2 and a cancel switch 48 are provided on the surface of the housing 6 so that the user can push the buttons.
In addition, on the surface of the housing 6, the sound generation unit of the speaker serving as the alarm device 11 and the speaker of the notification device 47 is provided facing the outside of the housing 6.

Next, the operation of the security system using the mode automatic switching device of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 2 shows an example of the switching time to each mode stored in the history storage unit 3.
FIG. 3 shows a flowchart when the mode management unit 4 automatically switches to the warning mode M1.
FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of the operation of the estimated switching time calculation means 40.
FIG. 6 shows a flowchart of the operation of the switching time writing means 46.
FIG. 5 shows the actual switching time to the warning mode M1 and the switching time to the warning mode M1 stored in the history storage unit 3 together with the estimated switching time.

In the present embodiment, the security system is provided at the user's home.
In addition, it is assumed that the user goes out of his / her home once a day, and the mode automatic switching means 41 automatically switches to the warning mode M1 once a day.

First, when the automatic switching function to the warning mode M1 of the mode automatic switching device S is used, for example, in advance, for one week (March 8 to March 14), the user sets the changeover switch 2 when going out. The monitoring unit 12 is set to the warning mode M1 through the mode management unit 4 by operating, and when returning home, the changeover switch 2 is operated to set the monitoring unit 12 to the home mode M2.
When the user operates the changeover switch 2, the switching time writing means 46 refers to the time information of the clock unit 5 and stores it in the history storage unit 3 (FIG. 2).

In this security system, when the mode management unit 4 automatically switches the setting of the monitoring unit 12 to the warning mode M1, for example, the following is performed.
First, when the mode management unit 4 recognizes that the date has changed, for example, from March 14 (Tuesday) to March 15 (Wednesday) by the time information from the clock unit 5, the mode management unit 4 estimates. The switching time calculation means 40 calculates an estimated switching time (S1-1).

At this time, the history extracting means 42 extracts the history of the switching times for the past seven days (March 8 (Wednesday) to March 14 (Tuesday)) from the history storage unit 3 (FIG. 4, S2-1). .
Next, when the average switching time calculation means 43 calculates these averages, the average time becomes 07:53 (S2-2, FIG. 5).
Next, the estimated switching time calculation means 40 compares the switching time (10:24) of March 12 (Sunday) with a large error by comparing the average time (07:53) with each switching time of the history. (S2-3).
Based on the history from which this switching time is excluded, the estimated switching time calculation means 40 calculates the average switching time (07:28) (S2-4), and this is used as the estimated switching time (S2-5). .

Next, when the mode management unit 4 sets the monitoring unit 12 to the home mode M2, for example, when the user goes out, for example, around 07:28 without operating the changeover switch 2 (No in S1-10). It becomes as follows.
When the mode management unit 4 determines from the time information of the clock unit 5 that the estimated switching time is 07:28 (S1-2 Yes), the switching grace unit 44 measures the set thirty grace time. (S1-3).
When the switching grace means 44 is one minute before the thirty minutes grace time elapses (S1-4 No, S1-5 No, S1-8 Yes), the speaker of the notification device 47 generates a low-volume buzzer sound ( S1-9).

When the grace period has elapsed (S1-4 Yes), the mode automatic switching means 41 switches from the home mode M2 to the alert mode M1, and the history storage unit 3 stores the switching time ( S1-6, S1-7).
At this time, since the switching time writing means 46 obtains information that the operation of the changeover switch 2 is not detected by the operation detecting means 45 (No in S3-1), the estimated switching time is obtained from the estimated switching time calculating means 40 ( S3-2), this is stored in the history storage unit 3 as the switching time (S3-3).

On the other hand, when the user goes out later than the estimated switching time and the user is at home, for example, the buzzer sound emitted from the speaker of the notification device 47 before the grace time elapses. And operate the cancel switch 48 (S1-5 Yes).
In this way, since the mode management unit does not automatically set the monitoring unit 12 to the warning mode, the situation where the sensor 10 reacts and an alarm is output from the alarm device 11 is prevented even when the user is at home. be able to.
Thereafter, the user operates the changeover switch 2 when going out. At this time, the switching time writing unit 46 stores the time when the user operated the changeover switch 2 in the history storage unit 3.

When the changeover switch 2 is operated by the user before the estimated changeover time has elapsed (S1-10 Yes, S1-6, S1-7), the changeover time writing means 46 is changed by the operation detection means 45 to change over the changeover switch 2. Therefore, the time information at that time is obtained from the clock unit 5 (S3-4) and written in the history storage unit 3 (S3-3).
Also, when the changeover switch 2 is operated by the user before the grace period elapses (S1-11 Yes, S1-6, S1-7), the switching time writing means 46 is similar to the above in the history storage unit. 3 is written (S3-1 Yes, S3-4, S3-3).

Then, on March 16 (Thursday), when the user does not switch the setting of the monitoring unit 12 from the home mode M2 to the alert mode M1 on March 16 (Thursday), March 9 A history of switching times from (Thursday) to March 15 (Wednesday) is extracted, and an average switching time (07:53) is calculated. Then, the estimated switching time (07:28) is calculated from the history excluding the switching time (10:24) on March 12 (Sunday), and the mode is automatically switched to the alert mode M1 in the same manner as described above.
In addition, after the Friday, March 17 when the user does not switch the setting of the monitoring unit 12 from the home mode M2 to the warning mode M1 by operating the changeover switch 2 as described above. Similarly, the warning mode is automatically switched (FIG. 3).

Thus, when the mode management unit 4 of the mode automatic management device S sets the monitoring unit 12 to the warning mode M1, the monitoring unit 12 operates the alarm device 11 based on the information provided by the sensor 10. Let
And since the alarm device 11 generates a loud alarm sound, the intruder is intimidated and prevented from entering.

As described above, according to the security system using the mode automatic switching device S according to the present embodiment, the estimated switching time calculation unit 40 based on the history stored in the history storage unit 3 (switching time storage unit). Thus, the estimated switching time is calculated, and the mode automatic switching means 41 switches the mode based on this estimated switching time, so that the mode of the switching target device 1 can be switched without human operation and human detection. .
Thereby, even if the user does not operate the changeover switch 2 (switching operation means) one by one, the mode management unit 4 can automatically switch the setting of the monitoring unit 12 to the warning mode M1, so that the operation is easy. can do.

In addition, since the mode is switched without detecting the presence or absence of the user by the sensor, for example, a situation in which a pet or the like causes the human sensor to malfunction can be prevented.
Even if the user forgets to operate the changeover switch 2, the mode management unit 4 automatically switches the setting of the monitoring unit 12 to the warning mode M1, so that it is possible to reliably prevent crimes such as intruders from entering when the user is absent. Can be done.

Further, when the user actually operates the changeover switch 2, the setting of the monitoring unit 12 is set based on the switching time history stored in the history storage unit 3 by the switching time writing unit 46 of the mode management unit 4. Is switched to the warning mode M1, so that the mode management unit 4 can switch the mode in accordance with lifestyle habits such as going out or going home.
Therefore, even if the user does not operate the changeover switch 2, the mode management unit 4 automatically switches to the warning mode M1 before and after going out, so that the user can operate the intruder without operating the changeover switch 2. Intrusion can be easily prevented.

Next, a security system using a mode automatic switching device according to a modification of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described (see FIG. 1).
In the security system of the present embodiment, the history extraction unit 42 extracts the history of a specific day from the history stored in the history storage unit 3, and the average switching time calculation unit 43 uses the average switching time calculation unit 43 to extract the history extraction unit. 42 differs from that of the first embodiment in that an average switching time is calculated based on the extraction history extracted by 42 and an estimated switching time corresponding to a specific day of the week is calculated based on the average switching time and the extraction history. .

In the present embodiment, it is assumed that, for example, a history for four weeks can be stored in the history storage unit 3.
Therefore, the other components are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment in the drawing, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

The operation of the security system using the mode automatic switching device of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of the operation when the mode management unit 4 calculates the estimated switching time in the security system using the mode automatic switching device of the present embodiment.
As shown in the figure, for example, when the date changes, the mode management unit 4 extracts the history of the day of the week corresponding to the day of the week from the history storage unit 3 (S4-1).

Next, the mode management unit 4 calculates an average switching time corresponding to the day of the week (S4-2), excludes a switching time that differs by one hour or more from the extracted history value (S4-3), and switches the switching time. The average of the switching times is calculated from the history from which is excluded (S4-4), and the average of the switching times is calculated as the estimated switching time (S4-5).
Other operations are performed in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

As described above, in the security system using the mode automatic switching device S of the present embodiment, the history extraction unit 42 extracts the history of a specific day of the week from the history stored in the switching time storage unit, and the history of this specific day of the week. Since the average switching time and the estimated switching time are calculated based on the above, even if the user lives with a different daily rhythm for each day of the week, this can be dealt with.
That is, the mode management unit 4 can calculate an estimated switching time according to a lifestyle that differs for each day of the user.

Next, a security system using the mode automatic switching device according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 8 shows a schematic configuration diagram of a security system using the mode automatic switching device according to the present embodiment.
As shown in the figure, the mode automatic switching device S1 of this embodiment is different from that of the first embodiment described above in that there is no notification device 47 (automatic switching notification means) and cancel switch 48 (cancel operation means). Different.

Further, in this mode automatic switching device S1, the switching time writing means 46a of the mode management unit 4 has, for example, the time of the longest continuous warning mode M1 on that day as the switching time to the warning mode M1. The first time is stored in the history storage unit 3.
Therefore, the other components are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment in the drawing, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

In the security system using the mode automatic switching device S1 having the above configuration, the mode management unit 4 automatically sets the monitoring unit 12 to the warning mode M1 by the mode automatic switching unit 41 before the user goes out. Even if it has been switched, the switch 2 is operated to return to the home mode M2 and to go out as the alert mode M1.
Other operations are performed in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

As described above, in the security system using the mode automatic switching device S1 of the present embodiment, the switching time writing unit 46 becomes the warning mode M1 and the first longest time is set as the switching time to the warning mode M1. Since it is stored in the history storage unit 3, it is possible to store in the history storage unit 3 the optimum switching time to the alert mode M <b> 1 simply by operating the changeover switch 2.
That is, in this system, when the user's life rhythm changes, the user only needs to operate the changeover switch 2 for several days again.

Thereby, since the switching time to the warning mode M1 stored in the history storage unit 3 becomes the warning mode M1 and is the first time of the longest time, the estimated switching time automatically switched to the warning mode M1 is the longest. It can be close to the beginning of the user's absence time, and is the optimal switching time to the alert mode M1.
Further, the cancel switch 48 (cancel operation means) is not necessary, and the user's operation can be simplified.

Even if the notification device 47 (automatic switching notification means) is not provided, if the window or the like is open, the alarm device 11 is activated and can be used instead of notifying that this has been switched automatically.
Thereby, the structure of the system can be simplified, and a reduction in manufacturing cost can be expected.

As described above, the mode automatic switching device, the security system, the mode automatic switching method, and the mode automatic switching program of the present invention have been described with reference to the preferred embodiments. However, the security system according to the present invention is limited only to the above-described embodiments. It goes without saying that various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention.
For example, the sensor is configured to detect the intruder's intrusion by detecting opening and closing of the window, but is not limited to this, and other sensors such as a human sensor that detects a person approaching the vicinity of the window It may be a sensor.

In addition, the mode management unit is configured to have a warning mode and a home mode as modes to be set in the monitoring unit. However, the mode management unit is not limited to this, and is set when the user is sleeping, for example. There may be other modes such as sleep mode.
In addition, the mode management unit is configured to switch only from the home mode to the warning mode. However, the mode management unit is not limited to this, and may be changed from the warning mode to the home mode.
Further, in the first embodiment, the switching time writing means sets the first time of the time that has been in the warning mode for the longest time to the warning mode or the like in the history storage unit as in the second embodiment. May be stored as the switching time.

In the first embodiment, the history storage unit may store only the history of the switching time of the last week.
In the second embodiment, the switching time writing means stores the first time in the history storage unit that has been in the warning mode for the longest time as the switching time to the warning mode or the like. However, the switching time operated by the user may be preferentially stored, and the design may be changed as appropriate.
