Description

  The present invention relates to a security system for reporting an abnormality to a monitoring center when an abnormality is detected in a monitoring area.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are known security systems that report an abnormality to a monitoring center when an abnormality such as an intrusion abnormality or a fire abnormality that occurs in a monitoring area is detected.

  In the conventional security system, when a user in the surveillance area goes out, operating the security device and receiving a detection signal from the security sensor will not report an abnormality even if a detection signal is received from the security sensor. The security set mode for reporting is set, and when the user returns to the monitoring area, the security device is operated to set the security release mode. Note that the abnormality detected by the security sensor is a state in which the presence of a person is detected, such as opening a window or door, detecting a heat source, or the like.

  Patent Document 1 describes a security device in which a security state can be freely set from outside a monitoring area using a communication terminal such as a mobile phone or a PDA in such a security system. Patent Document 1 describes a security device that receives a security mode setting signal from a mobile phone or the like via a telephone line or the Internet, and sets the received security mode.

JP 2006-285671 A

  Since the security device described in Patent Document 1 can freely change the security mode even from a remote location, for example, when there is a child who is not good at operating the security device to change to an appropriate security mode Even so, the convenience can be improved, for example, by allowing the parent to set the security release mode from a remote location when the child returns home.

  However, the security device described in Patent Document 1 has a problem in that it does not consider the reduction in security that occurs when the security release mode is set from a remote location.

  That is, normally, when the security set mode is set, the monitoring area is unattended. If there is a person, it becomes abnormal. In this case, in the security device of Patent Document 1, if the security release mode is easily set from a remote location, the monitoring area becomes unmonitored and unattended, and there is a blank period for security until the user returns. It will occur.

  Thus, in the case of setting the security release mode from a remote place, there are important issues in securing security.

  An object of the present invention is to realize a security device capable of preventing a security deterioration due to a blank period of security even when security is set from a remote location.

  In order to achieve the above object, the security device of the present invention is provided with a switch unit that outputs a change in contact, and when a remote release signal instructing setting of the security release mode is received from a remote place, the security release mode is immediately set. In this case, the release command is memorized, and the security state is set to the security release mode when the contact of the switch unit is changed within a predetermined time after the sensor detects that it has entered the building. .

  That is, the security device of the present invention has at least two types of security statuses, namely, a security set mode for reporting a monitoring area abnormality and a security release mode for not reporting the monitoring area abnormality. A security device that reports when detected, a sensor signal input unit that receives detection signals from a plurality of security sensors installed in the monitoring area, and a switch unit that is installed in the monitoring area and outputs a change in contact Receiving means for receiving at least a remote release signal; release command storing means for storing a release command when the receiving means receives the remote release signal during the security set mode; and storing the release command during the security set mode. In the case of being received, after receiving the detection signal from one of the plurality of security sensors, the switch unit is within the first predetermined time. When the point is changed, characterized by comprising a mode setting means for setting a security state in the security release mode, the.

  According to the present invention, when a remote release signal is received, a release command is stored, and security is maintained because the security release mode is not set immediately. Then, after detecting any of the sensors, when it is detected that the contact of the switch unit has changed within the first predetermined time, it is determined that the person is a regular entrant and the security state is set to the security release mode. . The switch part may be a normal push button switch, a mat sensor that changes its contact by stepping on it or placing a bag, or a sensor that changes its contact by applying a bag, etc. Even people who are not good at operation can easily change the contact point. Thereby, even if such a person enters, it does not become abnormal, and it can be avoided that the monitoring area becomes unsupervised and unattended.

  In order to be able to set the security state to the security release mode when a legitimate user enters during the security set mode, an authentication information storage means for storing the user's registered authentication information in advance is further provided, and the reception means Is configured to further receive an on-site cancellation signal for setting the security cancellation mode, and the mode setting means receives the detection signal from a specific sensor located in the entrance route of the monitoring area within a second predetermined time period. If the local release signal received by the receiving means includes authentication information that matches the registered authentication information, the security state is set to the security release mode.

  An operation unit for a user to input a security state transition operation in the monitoring area, and a communication means for communicating with the user terminal to enable the security state transition operation from a user terminal carried by the user, The operation unit is configured to output a local release signal when receiving a setting operation of the security release mode, and the communication unit is configured to output a remote release signal when receiving the setting signal of the security release mode from the user terminal.

  When the first predetermined time has elapsed or the second predetermined time has elapsed, it is determined as abnormal if the security release mode is not set.

  In order to maintain security, the release command stored in the storage unit is configured to be deleted when the security state is set to the security release mode or when a predetermined time elapses after storage.

  According to the present invention, even when a person who is not good at changing the security mode enters the building so that it does not become abnormal even when entering, the monitoring area becomes unsupervised and unattended. Can be avoided, and a security device that can prevent a decrease in security due to a security blank period can be realized.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The security device 40 is provided with an operation panel (authentication operation unit 55), and the user operates the operation panel of the security device 40 to set the security state. For example, when the user goes out in a state where the dwelling unit is unattended, after operating the operation panel so as to set the security device 40 to the security set mode, the door D1 is locked and goes out of the dwelling unit. The security device 40 enters the security set mode when a predetermined time elapses after the setting of the security set mode is input. The predetermined time is set to a time longer than the time required for the user to operate the security device 40 and exit from the door D1, for example. When the user comes home, it is decided to enter from a predetermined entrance route, for example, the entrance door D1. In this case, the open / close sensor M of the entrance door D1 is a specific sensor. When the user unlocks the entrance door D1 and enters the building, it detects that the open / close sensor M of the entrance door D1, which is a specific sensor, is in an open state, and transmits a detection signal to the security device 40. The security device 40 is configured not to determine that an abnormality has occurred for a predetermined time with respect to a detection signal from a specific sensor, and a user who has entered the facility operates the security device 40 during the predetermined time to perform security. Set to release mode.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a security device according to an embodiment of the present invention and a security system to which the security device is connected.

  The security system includes a monitoring center 10 and a security device 40 provided in a dwelling unit that is the monitoring area 31. The security device 40 is connected to the monitoring center 10 via the public line network 1. The monitoring center 10 monitors a plurality of dwelling units 31. The security device 40 includes a security controller 50 and a server device 70. The user 21 of the security device 40 can access the server device 70 through the terminal 22 via the Internet of the public line 1 or the like.

  On the display 13 of the monitoring center 10, information on the monitoring area to be dealt with and information on the abnormality are displayed based on the abnormality signal received from the security device. When the recovery signal is received from the security device, the display 13 displays that the abnormality has been recovered.

  When the monitor 14 determines that an abnormality has occurred in the monitored area by looking at the display on the display, the monitor 14 takes necessary measures such as instructions for handling the guard to the monitored area and confirmation processing for the user.

  The coordinator is usually waiting or patrol in the area he / she is in charge of, and when he / she receives a coping instruction from the monitoring center 10, he / she rushes to the monitoring area where the abnormality has occurred.

  In the security device 40, the security controller 50 is connected to a sensor 57 that detects a change in state, and monitors whether there is an abnormality in the user dwelling unit. The server device 70 discloses the normal / abnormal information of the user dwelling unit and the operation mode of the security controller 50 to the Internet.

  When the security controller 50 detects an abnormality during the security set mode, the security controller 50 transmits this abnormality information to the monitoring center 10 via the telephone line network of the public line network 1 as an abnormality signal. Generate website content from detected anomaly information. The user 21 browses a home page from the user terminal 22 via the Internet of the public line network 1. Further, when the security controller 50 detects that the abnormality has been recovered, the security controller 50 transmits the abnormality recovery information to the monitoring center 10 as a recovery signal, and the server device 70 deletes the recovered abnormality information and updates the home page.

  On the other hand, during the security release mode, the above processing is executed only for abnormalities that need to be monitored for 24 hours, such as the disaster prevention sensor SF and emergency buttons.

  Moreover, if the operation mode which is the security state of the security controller 50 is changed, the server apparatus 70 will generate the content of a homepage with the information of this operation mode. When the server device 70 receives a request for changing the operation mode from the user terminal 22, the server device 70 transmits an operation mode setting signal to the security controller 50.

  In this embodiment, an example in which the server device 70 as the security device 40 and the security controller 50 are configured separately will be described. However, the server device 70 and the security controller 50 are configured to be communicable. Of course, it may be configured integrally. In the case of a single configuration, hardware such as a control unit, a communication unit, and a storage unit can be shared by the server device 70 and the security controller 50, thereby reducing costs.

  As illustrated, the security controller 50 includes a control unit 51, a communication unit 52, a sensor interface (I / F) 53, a storage unit 54, an authentication operation unit 55, and a switch unit 56. The control unit 51 includes a receiving unit 61, a mode setting unit 62, a determination unit 63, and a notification unit 64. The control unit 51 is configured by a computer or the like, and the reception unit 61, mode setting unit 62, determination unit 63, and notification unit 64 are configured as functional blocks.

  The communication unit 52 is a communication interface that connects the security controller 50 and the monitoring center 10, and the security controller 50 and the server device 70. As described above, the security controller 50 and the monitoring center 10 are connected via the public line network 1 as a network, and the security controller 50 and the server device 70 are LAN-connected. The public line network to which the security controller 50 is connected is a telephone line network.

  The sensor I / F 53 is a security sensor such as an open / close sensor M for detecting the opening / closing of a door or a window and a space sensor P for detecting a human body, a smoke detector, The communication interface is connected to various sensors 57 such as a disaster prevention sensor SF such as a heat detector and an emergency button operated by a user, and receives detection signals from the various sensors 57. Each sensor 57 is assigned a unique ID number, and this ID number is included in the detection signal. In FIG. 2, the open / close sensor M provided in the entrance door D1 of the dwelling unit is shown as an example of the sensor.

  For each ID number of the various sensors 57, the storage unit 54 includes sensor information in which the sensor type and the sensor installation position are associated with each other, registration authentication information for authenticating a user who operates the security device 40, and remote control. The release flag is stored.

  In the sensor information, a security sensor located on the entrance route to the dwelling unit is stored as a specific sensor. In the present embodiment, an example in which the opening / closing sensor M that detects opening / closing of the dwelling doorway door D1 is stored as the specific sensor will be described.

  The registered authentication information is information registered in advance as user authentication information.

  The remote release flag is flag information indicating whether or not the setting of the security release mode is instructed from the remote user terminal 22 via the server device 70. When the security controller 50 is first turned on, the remote release flag is in an OFF state. The recording unit 54 stores information on the remote release flag ON as a release command of the present invention. The remote release flag is not limited to the flag information, and can be stored when the remote user terminal 22 is instructed to set the security release mode via the server device 70. I just need it.

  The authentication operation unit 55 includes buttons that are operated to set a security set mode and a security release mode, and a card reader for inputting user authentication information. In addition to the card reader, the authentication operation unit 55 may be appropriately provided with a PIN number input unit using a numeric keypad, a biometric information input unit, and the like. In this case, the storage unit 54 stores registration authentication information corresponding to the authentication information input by the input unit.

The authentication operation unit 55 outputs the local set signal including the authentication information when receiving the setting operation of the security set mode together with the input of the authentication information, and the local site including the authentication information when receiving the setting operation of the security release mode together with the input of the authentication information. Output a release signal.
Further, the authentication operation unit 55 authenticates the operator when receiving an abnormality recovery operation by the coping staff or the user, and outputs a recovery operation signal to the control unit 51 if the authentication is OK.

  Here, the security set mode is a mode for notifying the monitoring center 10 of an abnormality when the security sensor detects a change in the state of the monitoring area. Further, the security release mode is a mode in which no alarm is reported even if the security sensor detects a change in the state of the monitored area. In addition, if the detection signal by a disaster prevention sensor and an emergency button is received, abnormality notification will be carried out in any of the security set mode and the security release mode. The authentication operation unit 55 is used, for example, when the user goes out to set the security set mode and to operate when the user goes home to set the security release mode.

  The switch unit 56 is connected to the control unit 51 and outputs a contact change. The connection between the switch unit 56 and the control unit 51 may be wired or wireless, or may be connected via a sensor I / F 53. The switch unit is not limited to the contact output, and may be a unit that outputs a signal, as long as it can output a change in state caused by the user.

3 to 5 show examples of the switch unit 56.
FIG. 3 shows an example in which the push button 81 provided on the wall surface of the entrance / exit of the dwelling unit, such as a front door, whose contact changes when pressed down is used as a switch. When the user pushes down the push button 81, a change in contact is output.

  The switch unit 56 is not limited to a push button, and may have any form as long as it can output the user's return to the security controller 50 as a contact change. For example, as shown in FIG. The mat sensor 82 placed at the doorway can also be used as the switch unit 56. Further, the place where the mat sensor 82 is disposed is not limited to the entrance / exit, but may be a hallway or the like.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, when the clothes are placed on a hanger or the like sensor 83 (which may be a mat sensor) that is arranged in a bag storage area in a child's room and outputs a contact change when the bag is placed. It may be a pressure sensitive sensor 84 that outputs a contact change.

  In addition, the switch part 56 is not limited to the example which provides a button separately. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an appearance of the security controller 50. A button 85 for setting various functions such as the authentication operation unit 55 provided in the security controller 50 may be configured to function as the switch unit 56. In this case, when any button of the security controller 50 is pressed, the control unit 51 outputs that the contact of the switch unit 56 has changed.

  As described above, the security device 40 is also provided with a space sensor P for detecting a human body, and these sensors can also function as a switch unit. In this case, the detection signal from such a sensor is used as a signal for outputting that the contact of the switch unit 56 has changed.

  In any case, the switch unit 56 makes it easy for a user such as a child or an elderly person who is not good at inputting authentication information to the security controller 50 to change the contact point when returning home, and from an outside person such as a suspicious person. It only needs to be installed so that its function is not known.

  Alternatively, the switch unit 56 may be composed of a plurality of switches provided at various locations, and a contact change signal may be output when the contact of any one switch changes.

  The accepting unit 61 accepts a local set signal and a local release signal input from the authentication operation unit 55 to the control unit 51, and a remote set signal and a remote release signal input from the communication unit 52 to the control unit 51.

  The mode setting means 62 receives an input from the authentication operation unit 55 or the server device 70 and sets the operation mode of the security device 40 and the remote control flag of the storage unit 54. The set operation mode or remote control flag is output to server device 70.

  When the mode setting unit 62 receives the local set signal or the local release signal from the authentication operation unit 55 via the receiving unit 61, the input user authentication information is registered in the registration authentication information stored in the storage unit 54. If authentication is possible, the operation mode is set to the corresponding security set mode or security release mode.

  Further, the mode setting means 62 confirms the normality of all the sensors 57 when receiving the remote set signal from the server device 70 via the accepting means 61, and sets the operation mode to the security set mode if all the sensors 57 are normal. To do.

  Further, when the mode setting unit 62 receives the remote release signal from the server device 70 via the receiving unit 61 when the security set mode is set, the mode setting unit 62 turns on the remote release flag of the storage unit 54. The mode setting means 62 sets the operation mode to the security release mode when the contact change signal of the switch unit 56 is detected while the remote release flag is ON. On the other hand, when the remote release flag is OFF, the change of the contact input from the switch unit 56 is ignored. That is, when the remote release flag is ON, the user returns to the monitoring area and operates the authentication operation unit 55 by changing the contact point of the switch unit 56 by pressing a button or the like well known to the user. Thus, the security release mode is set without inputting authentication information.

  Thereby, by setting and inputting the operation mode of the security controller 50 from a remote location, it is possible to set the security release mode without inputting authentication information to the security device 40 when the user returns to the monitoring area. Even if there is a child who is not good at inputting authentication information to the security device 40, the parent can input the setting of the security release mode from a remote place, so that the release mode without the authentication information input operation. Can be set.

  Also, when the operation mode of the security controller 50 is set and inputted from a remote location, the security set mode is maintained without being released, and the first time when the user returns to the monitoring area and presses down the switch unit (push button) 56. Since security is canceled, there is no blank period for security between unmanned people, and security can be ensured.

  The mode setting means 62 turns off the remote release flag in the storage unit 54 when setting the operation mode to the security release mode. Further, when the mode setting unit 62 receives a remote release cancel signal from the server device 70, the mode setting unit 62 turns off the remote release flag in the storage unit 54. The mode setting means 62 measures the time since the remote control flag was turned on, and turns off the remote control flag when a predetermined time has elapsed.

  When receiving the detection signal from the sensor 57, the determination unit 63 compares the current mode and the sensor information in the storage unit 54 to determine whether there is an abnormality. That is, when the control unit 51 is set to the security set mode, the controller 51 determines that any of the various sensors 57 receives a detection signal as abnormal, and when the control unit 51 is set to the security release mode, When a detection signal is received from any of the buttons, it is determined that there is an abnormality.

  Further, when the detection unit 63 is set to the security set mode and receives a detection signal from the specific sensor, the determination unit 63 activates an entrance timer (for example, 30 seconds) by the time measuring unit, and during the time counting operation of this timer, Suspend the determination of abnormality by detection. This admission timer determines the time required for the user who has returned to the dwelling unit during the security set mode to operate the authentication operation unit 55 to set the security release mode, and detects an abnormality by detecting a specific sensor in the dwelling unit admission route. It is a timer that keeps time.

  Further, when the detection unit 63 receives the detection signal from any of the sensors when the security set mode is set and the remote release flag is ON, the determination unit 63 sets a return confirmation timer (for example, 20 seconds) by the timing unit. When the timer is activated, the abnormality determination is suspended regardless of the detection by any sensor. The return home confirmation timer does not perform an abnormality determination based on detection of each sensor during the time required for the user returning to the dwelling unit during the security set mode to release the security by pressing the switch unit 56 and changing the contact point. It is a clock timer. In addition, during the timekeeping operation of the return home confirmation timer, the above determination is suspended regardless of the detection by any sensor. Therefore, it is preferable to set the timer time short for crime prevention, and it should be less than the time keeping time of the entrance timer. Is preferred.

  Here, in the case of a child or an elderly person who is not good at inputting authentication information to the security device 40, it is often difficult to understand the mechanism of the security set / security release by the security device 40. May not grasp the rule of entering through the dwelling unit entrance route (in this example, the entrance door D1) monitored by the specific sensor. In this case, during the security set mode, there is a possibility that the vehicle enters from a route other than the route monitored by the specific sensor (for example, the back door D2) and is detected as abnormal by another sensor.

  On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, it is necessary to make it a habit to always perform a simple operation of depressing the switch unit (push button) 56 when returning home. If the setting is input, it is possible to shift to the security release mode without inputting authentication information, regardless of the entrance route of the child or elderly person who has returned home.

  When the determination unit 63 determines that an abnormality has occurred, the reporting unit 64 transmits an abnormality signal indicating the abnormality from the communication unit 52 to the monitoring center 10 and the server device 70. The abnormality signal includes the identification number of the security device 40, the ID number of the sensor 57 that detected the abnormality, the type of the sensor 57, and information on the installation position thereof.

  Further, the reporting unit 64 transmits a recovery signal to the monitoring center 10 and the server device 70 when the determination unit 63 determines that the abnormality has been recovered by inputting the recovery operation signal from the authentication operation unit 55. The recovery signal includes the identification number of the security device 40.

Further, the reporting unit 64 transmits the operation mode set by the mode setting unit 62 to the monitoring center 10 and the server device 70. That is, when the security set mode is set, a set notification signal is transmitted to the monitoring center 10 and the server device 70, and when the security release mode is set, a release notification signal is transmitted to the monitoring center 10 and the server device 70.
Further, when the mode setting unit 62 changes the remote release flag in the storage unit 54, the reporting unit 64 notifies the server device 70 of this change.

  The server device 70 includes a control unit 91, a communication unit 92, and a storage unit 93. The control unit 91 includes web server means 94.

  The communication unit 92 is a communication interface that connects the server device 70 and the network, and the server device 70 and the security controller 50. The network to which the server device 70 is connected is an Internet network composed of the public line 1, and the server device 70 is connected to the user terminal 22 through the Internet network.

  The storage unit 93 includes a ROM / RAM, a hard disk drive (HDD), and the like. The IP address of the server device 70 assigned by the monitoring center 10 or a provider, user information, an abnormal state holding table, an operation mode, and the like. And a remote release flag state are stored.

  User information stores and manages information for authenticating the user, such as the user ID, password, and information on the user terminal 22, and the e-mail address of the user terminal 22 for each user of the security device 40. It is built as a database.

  The abnormal state holding table is a table that stores information of the sensor 57 that has detected an abnormality. When an abnormal signal is received from the security controller 50, the abnormal state holding table receives the writing process of the control unit 91 and holds the abnormal state. When the recovery signal is received from the security controller 50, the abnormal state is erased from the table by the writing process of the control unit 91, and the holding of the abnormal state is released.

  In the operation mode, the current operation mode (security set mode or security release mode) received from the security controller 50 is stored.

  The remote release flag state stores the ON / OFF state of the current remote release flag received from the security controller 50.

  The web server means 94 is a function realized by a server program that is read and executed by the CPU or MPU of the server device 70. The web server means 94 stores an HTML document (homepage) that publishes content indicating information in the abnormal state holding table, content indicating the current operation mode, and content for inputting change of the operation mode to the Internet. Each time the abnormal state holding table, the operation mode, and the remote release flag state of the storage unit 93 are updated, the web server means 94 is based on the information on the abnormal state holding table, the operation mode, and the remote release flag state. Update.

  When there is an access from the network via the communication unit 92, the web server means 94 authenticates whether the access is from a user terminal (user) based on the user information stored in the storage unit 93. Do. Various methods are already known for the authentication process, and they can be used. Here, detailed description of the authentication process is omitted. As a result of the authentication process, if the access from the user terminal 22 can be authenticated, a session with the user terminal 22 that is the access source is started and the content information of the home page is transmitted.

  Further, when the web server means 94 receives a set setting signal or a cancel setting signal as an operation mode change input from the user terminal 22 during a session, the web server means 94 guards the remote set signal or the remote cancel signal as the setting signal of the operation mode. Output to the controller 50. When the operation mode of the security controller 50 is changed, the web server means 94 updates the content information from the information stored in the storage unit 93 and publishes the changed operation mode on the home page.

  Further, when the remote release flag of the security controller 50 is turned ON, the web server means 94 updates the content information from the information stored in the storage means 93 and indicates on the homepage that the remote control flag is ON. In addition to publishing, the content for canceling ON of the remote control flag is published on the homepage. When a cancel input of the remote control flag is received from the user terminal 22 during the session, a remote cancel cancel signal is output to the security controller 50.

  6A and 6B are diagrams showing examples of homepages. FIG. 6A shows an example of a homepage published when the security mode is the security set mode, and FIG. 6B shows security from the user terminal 22 when the security mode is the security set mode. An example of the home page when the release mode is set is shown. In the home page of FIG. 6A, it is displayed that the current security mode is the security set mode, and content (button) for setting the security release mode is displayed. When this button is clicked on the user terminal 22, a release setting signal is input to the server device 70. In the homepage of FIG. 6B, it is displayed that the current security mode is the security set mode but the security release mode setting is being accepted, and content for canceling the security release mode setting (the remote control flag setting) Content for canceling ON) is displayed. When the user terminal 22 clicks on the content (button) to be canceled, a cancel cancellation signal is input to the server device 70. Although not shown, in the security release mode, the content for setting the security set mode is displayed on the home page.

  In the description of the present embodiment, the example in which the change of the operation mode is received on the home page by the web server means 94 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an e-mail or A change in the operation mode may be accepted by transmitting a set setting signal or a cancel setting signal by transmitting a predetermined command. In this case, the request is accepted after authenticating the transmission source based on the user information in the storage unit 93. At this time, the setting result of the operation mode by the security controller 50 is preferably notified by sending an e-mail to the mail address of the user terminal stored in the user information.

  Next, the processing operation in the present embodiment will be described using a flowchart.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing processing when an abnormality occurs by the security controller 50.

In step S10, occurrence of an abnormality is determined by the determination unit 63.
In step S <b> 11, the security controller 50 transmits an abnormality signal to the server device 70.
In step S <b> 12, the security controller 50 transmits an abnormality signal to the monitoring center 10.

In step S13, it is determined whether the abnormal state has been recovered, and this process is repeated until the abnormal state is recovered.
In step S <b> 14, the security controller 50 transmits a recovery signal to the server device 70.
In step S <b> 15, the security controller 50 transmits a recovery signal to the monitoring center 10.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing processing related to the remote release flag by the security controller 50.

  When the server device 70 receives the release setting signal from the user terminal 22, the remote release signal is transmitted to the security controller 50. In step S20, the security controller 50 receives a remote release signal.

  In step S21, it is determined whether the current security mode is the security set mode. If it is the security set mode, the process proceeds to step S22, and if it is not the security set mode, that is, if it is the security release mode, the process ends.

In step S22, the remote release flag in the storage unit 54 is set to ON.
In step S23, a flag monitoring timer is started. The flag monitoring timer measures the time limit for turning on the remote release flag, and is set to 30 minutes, for example.

  In step S24, as will be described later, it is determined whether the security release mode has been set by operating the authentication operation unit 55 or changing the contact of the switch unit 56. If the security release mode has been set, step S26 is performed. If the security release mode is not set, the process proceeds to step S25.

In step S25, it is determined whether the flag monitoring timer has counted a predetermined time (30 minutes), that is, whether the time has expired. If the time has expired, the process proceeds to step S26, and if not, the process returns to step S24. Therefore, if the security release mode is not set, steps S24 and S25 are repeated until the flag monitoring timer expires.
In step S25, when the remote cancel cancel signal is received from the server device 70, the time measurement is finished and the process proceeds to step S26.

  In step S26, the remote release flag is turned off and the process ends. Here, when the process proceeds from step S24 to step S26, the remote release flag is turned off in the security release mode. When the process proceeds from step S25 to step S26, the remote release flag is turned off while remaining in the security set mode. Will be.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing processing in the security set mode in the security controller 50.

  In step S31, it is determined whether the security sensor has output a detection signal. If the detection signal is not output, the process returns to the beginning, and step S31 is performed again. If the detection signal is output, the process proceeds to step S32.

  In step S32, it is determined whether a remote release signal has been accepted. That is, it is determined whether the remote release flag is ON. If it is ON, the process proceeds to step S40, and if not, the process proceeds to step S33.

  In step S33, it is determined whether the sensor that has output the detection signal in step 31 is a sensor for a predetermined entrance route (in this example, the entrance door), that is, a specific sensor, and if it is a specific sensor, the process proceeds to step S34. If it is not a specific sensor, the process proceeds to step S37.

  In step S34, an entrance timer is started. The entrance timer measures the time required for the user who entered the building to operate the authentication operation unit 55 and set the security release mode as described above, and is set to 30 seconds, for example.

  In step S35, it is determined whether the local release signal input from the authentication operation unit 55 is authentic or not. If it is normal, the process proceeds to step S44. If it is not normal or if there is no input from the authentication operation unit 55, step S35 is performed. Proceed to S36.

  In step S36, it is determined whether or not the admission timer has timed up. If the time has not expired, the process returns to step S35, and if the time has expired, the process proceeds to step S37.

  In step S37, when a sensor other than the specific sensor outputs a detection signal when the remote release flag is OFF, or when the specific sensor outputs a detection signal, the input information of the authentication operation unit is registered within a predetermined time. Since the user is not authenticated, it is determined that the user is abnormal, the necessary processing described with reference to FIG. 7 is performed, and the process returns to step S31.

  In step S40, a return home confirmation timer is started. The return home confirmation timer counts the time required for the user who has come home to press the switch unit 56 and change the contact point to set the security release mode when the remote release flag is ON as described above. Set to 20 seconds.

  In step S41, it is determined whether a contact change signal of the switch unit 56 is output. If it is output, the process proceeds to step S44, and if not, the process proceeds to step S42.

  In step S42, it is determined whether the return home confirmation timer has expired. If the time has not expired, the process returns to step S41, and if the time has expired, the process proceeds to step S43.

  In step S43, when the remote release flag is ON, the contact change signal of the switch unit 56 is not output within a predetermined time even though the sensor outputs a detection signal. The necessary processing described in (1) is performed, and the process returns to step S31.

In step S44, when the signal for changing the contact of the switch unit 56 is output within a predetermined time after the sensor outputs the detection signal when the remote release flag is ON, or the remote release flag is OFF, the specific sensor Since the detection signal is output and the authentication operation unit authenticates the authorized user within a predetermined time, it is determined as normal and the security release mode is set.
Even when the remote monitoring flag is ON in step S32, when the sensor detected in step S31 is a specific sensor, not only the contact change of the switch unit but also the input of the authentication operation unit 55 can be authenticated. Sometimes, the security release mode may be set.

As described above, when the setting of the release mode is input from the user terminal 22, the guard set mode is maintained until the user returns home and the contact of the switch unit is changed. Security can be activated until it is done.
In addition, even if the user enters from any entrance route, the security is released by changing the contact point of the switch after the entrance, improving convenience even if the operation of the security device is not good it can.
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, it cannot be overemphasized that various modifications are possible.
For example, the remote release flag is turned OFF after a predetermined time using a flag monitoring timer, but if this restriction is not necessary, steps S23 and S25 are omitted, and the remote release flag is set until the security release mode is set in step S24. The release flag may be kept ON.

Moreover, although this embodiment demonstrated the example in which the operation part of a security controller was installed in the dwelling unit used as a monitoring area, it is not limited to this.
That is, the operation unit of the security controller may be installed outside the monitoring area such as the outer wall of the dwelling unit or the gate pole. In this case, the operation unit is configured to communicate with the security controller in a wired or wireless manner. When going out, the user goes out of the dwelling unit and operates the operation unit to set the security set mode, and when returning to the dwelling unit, operates the operation unit to enter the security release mode before entering the building. . In response to this, the operation unit outputs a local set signal or a local release signal to the control unit.
In such a configuration, since it is not necessary to set the security release mode by operating the operation unit after entering the dwelling unit, it is determined to be abnormal when entry is detected in the security set mode. That is, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 9, the process related to the entrance timer is unnecessary, and the process proceeds from NO in step S32 to step S37.

The operation unit of the security controller may be a portable medium such as a remote controller.
In this case, the operation unit is configured to communicate with the security controller wirelessly, and when the user goes out, the user goes out of the dwelling unit and operates the operation unit to perform the setting operation of the security set mode, and returns to the dwelling unit. Sometimes, before entering the dwelling unit, the operation unit is operated to set the security release mode. In response to this, the operation unit outputs a local set signal or a local release signal to the control unit. Even in such a configuration, the process related to the entrance timer is not necessary in the flowchart shown in FIG. 9, and the process proceeds from NO in step S32 to step S37.

  The present invention is applied to a security device, and in particular, to a security device in which a user at a remote location can access the security device via a communication path.
