  However, in the security device of Patent Document 1, even though it can be estimated whether or not the user is currently able to view the advertisement, the provided information is not selected for each user. It is impossible to determine whether the information is truly necessary for the user. Information necessary for the user may change every time the user's behavior changes due to, for example, a change in season or a change in lifestyle. In this way, the information required for each individual user is different and may change from time to time. However, since the security device of Patent Document 1 cannot grasp the behavioral changes in the user's life, There was a problem that information necessary for the user at the present time could not be determined.

  In addition, if the genre desired by the user is selected and registered in advance, it is possible to grasp the user's preferences with the security device. When the desired information changes due to a change or the like, the setting must be changed each time. For this reason, there may arise a problem that it is complicated and troublesome for the user.

Operation symbols for various inputs are displayed on the liquid crystal touch panel display, and a signal is input to the control unit 37 when the user selects a symbol. The liquid crystal touch panel display is an embodiment of the operation unit 34 and is not limited to this, and any operation interface that allows the user to appropriately input information when operating the security controller 3 such as a physical operation button or a microphone may be used.

  The display unit 35 is a display device configured with a liquid crystal display. In the present embodiment, the liquid crystal touch panel display is configured integrally with an input interface as the operation unit 34. The display unit 35 displays distribution information and Web content received from the distribution management device 5, an operation screen of the security controller 3, and the like.

  The storage unit 36 is configured with a ROM, a RAM, or an HDD, stores an object ID and various programs for specifying the monitoring target 2 installed therein, and various types for operating the security controller 3. Store information. Specifically, the storage unit 36 associates the security information sensor 7 and the room in which the sensor is installed with the arrangement information table stored therein, and associates the detection signal received from the security sensor 7 with the sensor ID and the time information. A detection information table to be stored and a reference life characteristic table that is a reference value for determining a life characteristic received from the distribution management center 5 are stored.

  The arrangement information table functions as an arrangement information storage unit of the present invention. FIG. 3 schematically shows the contents of the arrangement information table. The information in the arrangement information table is input by the worker at the time of installation of the security controller or maintenance replacement. In the arrangement information table, the sensor ID of the security sensor 7, the sensor type based on the detection principle, the identification information of the room in which the sensor is installed, and the room type are stored in association with each other. The type of room is information for estimating the user's behavior in the room, and in this embodiment, the function name of the room such as a toilet, bathroom, dining room, living room, bedroom, general living room is used as shown in FIG. Yes.

  The detection information table functions as a detection information storage unit of the present invention. FIG. 4 schematically shows the contents of the detection information table. The information in the detection information table is updated by adding information every time a detection signal is received from the security sensor 7. In the detection information table, the sensor ID of the security sensor 7 that has input a detection signal as detection information, the detection state, time information, and the current security mode are stored in association with each other. The detection state is information indicating a change state detected by the sensor such as opening and closing of a door, detection of a human body, abnormality and recovery of an internal device, and time information indicates a date and a day of the week.

  Moreover, the memory | storage part 36 shows the collation information which memorize | stored the IC card information of the user who can use the security controller 3, the mode information which shows the security mode currently set, and the presence or absence of abnormality which generate | occur | produced in the monitoring object 2 Various information necessary for the security controller 3 such as current state information is stored.

  The control unit 37 includes a microcomputer including a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like and peripheral circuits thereof, and controls the above-described units. Therefore, the control unit 37 includes a mode setting unit 371, an abnormality determination unit 372, an activity time extraction unit 373, and a trend determination as functional modules realized by the microcomputer and a computer program executed on the microcomputer. A unit 374, a life characteristic determination unit 375, and a display control unit 376.

  The mode setting unit 371 is based on an operation input from the operation unit 34. The security release mode is used when the dwelling unit is manned and does not monitor the intruder by the security sensor 7, and the security sensor is used when the dwelling unit is unmanned. Going out security mode as a security set mode for intruder monitoring by 7 and home security for intruder monitoring only by the security sensor 7 (specific sensor) on the outer periphery of the dwelling unit such as windows and doors used when the dwelling unit is manned The security mode of the security controller 3 is set to either the home security mode as the set mode. When the user goes out of the dwelling unit, the user sets the outing security mode, sets the security release mode when the user frequently enters and exits during the daytime, etc. Set the mode. The mode setting unit 371 stores information indicating the set security mode in the storage unit 36 and transmits the information from the communication unit 31 to the monitoring center 4 as a mode signal.

  The abnormality determination unit 372 performs an abnormality determination process for the monitoring target 2 when a detection signal is received from the security sensor 7. When the abnormality determination unit 372 receives a detection signal from the security sensor 7 via the sensor I / F 32, the abnormality determination unit 372 refers to the current security mode stored in the storage unit 36 and determines whether or not an abnormal situation has occurred. That is, if the detection signal is received from the security sensor 7 when it is set to the security release mode, it is not determined that there is an abnormality even if the detection signal is received from the security sensor 7. 2 is determined to be abnormal. Further, when the home security mode is set, it is determined that there is an abnormality only when a detection signal is received from the security sensor 7 (specific sensor) on the outer periphery of the monitoring target 2 set in advance. When the abnormality determination unit 372 determines an abnormality in the monitoring target 2, the abnormality determination unit 372 stores the content of the abnormality in the current state information in the storage unit 36 and transmits an abnormality signal from the communication unit 31 to the monitoring center 4. Also, when the abnormality determination unit 372 determines that the abnormality of the monitoring target 2 has been normalized by the user setting operation of the security release mode, the abnormality state determination unit 372 sets the current state information in the storage unit 36 to normal and the communication unit 31 to the monitoring center 4 Send a recovery signal to.

  The activity time extraction unit 373 extracts detection information from the detection information table during the past predetermined period (for example, one month) while the user is at home in the security release mode and the home security mode. Then, the activity time extraction unit 373 determines that the user is active in the room where the corresponding sensor is installed for a certain time (for example, 5 minutes) from the time when the detection information is obtained, and the detection information is continuously received in the same room. The obtained time range is regarded as a time range in which the room is continuously active, and the time is extracted as an activity time zone in each room.

  FIG. 5 shows an example in which the activity time is extracted from the detection information for each room while the security release mode and the home security mode are set. The upper part of FIG. 5 shows the information stored as the detection information, and the lower part of FIG. 5 shows the activity time zone in each extracted room. For example, in FIG. 5, a human body is continuously detected without detection for a certain period of time (for example, 5 minutes) after detection information is obtained at 9 o'clock in the bathroom (see the bathroom portion at the top of FIG. 5). It is determined that there was continuous activity in the area, and from 9 o'clock to 9:20 is extracted as the activity time zone (see the bathroom part at the bottom of Fig. 5). Similarly, in the living room, a plurality of crime prevention sensors (sensors S0004 and S0005) continuously detect human bodies without leaving the room for a certain period of time after 9:30 (the living room (S0004) in the upper part of FIG. (See (S0005) portion), 9:30 to 9:55 in which the human body was detected by at least one of the plurality of security sensors is extracted as the activity time zone (see the living portion at the bottom of FIG. 5). In this way, the activity time extraction unit 373 extracts a section in which detection information is continuously obtained within the same room within a certain time (for example, 5 minutes) as an activity time zone, and the time range (continuous in FIG. 5). The section that is determined to be active).

  Note that the fixed time (5 minutes in the above example) for determining that the user was active in the room from the time when the detection information was obtained depends on the type of room and the type of security sensor. May be set. For example, since it is difficult to detect a sleeping human body with a security sensor 7 in a bedroom, it is assumed that a user has been active in the corresponding room for a longer time (for example, 1 hour) than other security sensors by one detection. You may guess.

  The trend determination unit 374 compares the activity time zones in each room for the same day of the week in the past predetermined period (for example, one month), and finds an activity time zone that is substantially common to the day of the week as an active activity trend. In order to extract substantially common activity time zones, in this embodiment, the activity time zones of the same room are compared for each day of the week, and the sameness of each activity time zone is statistically calculated. In the present embodiment, the sameness is a degree for extracting an activity time zone for each daily room that is similar in the past predetermined period (for example, one month). In the present embodiment, an example in which standard deviation is used as an index for determining the sameness will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a variance value may be used as an index for determining the sameness, or a result of testing for equivalence of distribution using a frequency distribution for each time zone may be used. Various statistical methods for evaluating time zone variations and equivalence can be used.

  The trend determination unit 374 extracts the activity time zone for each room in the past predetermined period (for example, one month) output by the activity time extraction unit 373 for each day of the week, and at least a part of the time zone in each day that is the same day of the week. If there are overlapping activity time zones (including common times), these are extracted as activities in the same time zone, and the sameness of each activity time zone is calculated. The sameness of the activity time zone is calculated as an average value of the standard deviations of the start time and the end time of the activity time zone of each day extracted as the activity of the same time zone. That is, the standard deviation is obtained for each of the first time and the last time, and when the average value of these two standard deviations is smaller than a threshold value (for example, 15 minutes), each day is active in the same time zone. In this case, it is determined that each activity time zone seems to be the same (similarity is a predetermined value or more). When it is determined that each activity time zone seems to be the same, these representative activity time zones are output as effective activity trends using the statistical information of each activity time zone. In the present embodiment, the average times of the activity time zones are calculated by calculating the average times of the start time and the end time of each of the compared activity time zones, and the average activity time zone is output as an active activity trend. Note that an optimum value can be appropriately used as the threshold value for determining the sameness (threshold value for standard deviation) according to the accuracy of the required effective activity tendency.

  The process of the tendency determination part 374 demonstrated above is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 6 shows the activity time zone in the bathroom near 9 o'clock for 4 days in March. Here, the example of FIG. 6 includes 9:12 to 9:20 in common although the activity time zone is different for all four days. Therefore, the tendency determination unit 374 extracts the activity time zone in the bathroom near 9 o'clock as having activity in the same time zone, and calculates the sameness. In the example of FIG. 6, the standard deviation at the beginning time of the activity time zone of each day is 4.2 minutes, and the standard deviation at the end time is 5 minutes. The tendency determination unit 374 performs threshold processing (for example, 15 minutes) on 4.6 minutes, which is an average value of standard deviation (similarity of activity time zone), and the average value of standard deviation is equal to or less than a threshold value (similarity is a predetermined value) Therefore, it is determined that each activity time zone seems to be the same. Then, the tendency determination unit 374 calculates an average activity time zone from an average time of 9: 6 at the beginning of each activity time zone to an average time of 9:25 at the end of each activity time zone, and validates this average activity time zone. Output as activity trend. By performing the above processing for each day of the week, the effective activity tendency in each room is output for each day of the week. The effective activity tendency may be added and accumulated in the storage unit 36 every time it is output from the trend determination unit 374.

  The life characteristic determination unit 375 determines the life characteristic that is a characteristic of the user's life by comparing the effective activity tendency output by the tendency determination unit 374 with the reference life characteristic table stored in the storage unit 36. The reference life characteristics table is information that defines the life characteristics according to the presence / absence of active activity trends (presence / absence of activity) in each time period by associating the room type with the time period. It is used as a reference value for determining.

  FIG. 7 schematically shows the contents of the reference life characteristic table. In the example of FIG. 7, the case where there is a trend of active activity between 5 and 10 in the bathroom is defined as the morning bath type as a lifestyle characteristic definition, and it is effective between 5 and 10 on weekdays (Monday to Friday) in the kitchen. A case where there is no activity tendency is defined as a breakfast shortage type as a lifestyle characteristic definition, and a case where there is an active activity tendency for 3 hours or more between 19:00 and 24:00 in the living room is defined as an entertainment type as a lifestyle characteristic definition.

  The life characteristic determination unit 375 compares the presence / absence of an active activity tendency of each room for each day of the week output by the trend determination unit 374 with the reference life characteristic table, and if the condition is met, the corresponding life characteristic definition is Judge as life characteristics. For example, the active activity tendency calculated in the example of FIG. 6 from 9: 6 to 9:25 matches the condition of the morning bath type in the reference life characteristics table of FIG. Determines the morning bath type as a life characteristic of the user. In this way, the life characteristic determination unit 375 determines the life characteristic of the user by determining whether or not there is an active activity tendency for each condition in the reference life characteristic table. Then, the life characteristic determination unit 375 transmits the determined life characteristic to the remote distribution management device 5 via the communication unit 31.

  The life characteristic determination unit 375 not only determines the user's life characteristic from the active activity tendency of each room for each day of the week output by the trend determination unit 374, but also the time of effective activity tendency of each room for each day of the week. The life characteristics of the user may be determined from the historical transition. The active activity tendency is accumulated in the storage unit 36 including past activities. Therefore, in this case, the contents of the transition of the active activity tendency of each room are defined in the reference life characteristic table in advance as the determination condition, and the life characteristic corresponding to this is defined as the life characteristic definition. If the difference between the latest active activity trend output by the trend determination unit 374 and the past effective activity trend of the same room corresponding to this satisfies the determination condition of the reference life characteristic table, the corresponding life characteristic definition is determined by the user. Judgment as a life characteristic. For example, when it can be determined that the effective activity trend in the bedroom is shortened from the latest effective activity trend and the past effective activity trend, the sleep activity decreasing tendency type is determined as a life characteristic, etc. It becomes possible to determine the tendency of the user using.

  The display control unit 376 is a functional module in which a Web browser function is implemented, and displays information such as an HTML document that is activated and received from the distribution management device 5 when the security release mode or the home security mode is set. Displayed and output as Web content on the unit 35, and transmits user operation input such as a request for distribution information to the distribution management device 5. Information received from the distribution management device 5 may be temporarily stored in the memory area of the control unit 37 and expanded for display, or may be stored in the storage unit 36. The display control unit 376 transmits a distribution information request signal to the distribution management device 5 when the operation unit 34 receives a distribution information request input. Then, when receiving the distribution information via the communication unit 31, the display control unit 376 displays this on the display unit 35. At this time, if any connection information in the distribution information is designated by the operation unit 34, a connection request signal for requesting the corresponding Web content is transmitted to the distribution management device 5 via the communication unit 31. In addition, when receiving the Web content from the distribution management device 5, the display control unit 376 displays and outputs this on the display unit 35. Furthermore, when the user designates a specific content provider and inputs an operation for browsing registration, the display control unit 376 transmits a browsing registration signal of the content provider to the distribution management device 5.

Next, the configuration of the distribution management apparatus 5 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the distribution management device 5.
The distribution management device 5 is connected to a communication unit network 52 connected to the communication line network 6 and communicates with the security controller 3 and to a communication line network 60 to provide contents. Content communication unit 53 that communicates with person server 8 and a control unit 54 that is configured by an MPU, a microcomputer, and the like and that controls each unit.

  The storage unit 51 is configured by a ROM, a RAM, or an HDD, stores various programs, and further stores various information for operating the distribution management device 5. Specifically, the storage unit 51 stores a management information table, user life characteristic information, and browsing registration information.

  The management information table stores the business category and connection information for each content provider registered in advance. The business category category is registered by being classified according to the nature of the product or service provided to the user by the content provider. The connection information is information for accessing the content provider's content, and includes banner information that graphically shows the content provider and a URL or IP address that is a link destination address.

  In the user life characteristic information, the life characteristic received from the security controller 3 is stored for each property ID that is identification information of the security controller 3. In the user life characteristic information, the life characteristic received from the security controller 3 within the past predetermined period (for example, one month) is held, and when a new life characteristic is received, information older than the past predetermined period is overwritten and stored. It's okay. Further, the present invention is not limited to this, and only the latest life characteristics may be retained, or the life characteristics for a predetermined number of times in the past may be retained.

  The browsing registration information stores the content provider that the user browses and registers for each property ID of the security controller 3 as the designated provider. The browsing registration information is stored by sequentially adding content providers to the designated provider each time the user performs browsing registration in the security controller 3. The browsing registration information also stores the display priority designated by the user in correspondence with the content provider serving as the designated provider.

The user communication unit 52 is connected to the communication network 6 and communicates with the security controller 3 and the center device 41. The user communication unit 52 is equipped with a VPN function, establishes a VPN tunnel in communication between the security controller 3 and the center device 41, and performs encrypted communication through the VPN tunnel.
The content communication unit 53 is connected to the communication line network 60 and communicates with the content provider server 8.

  The control unit 54 includes a microcomputer including a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like and peripheral circuits thereof, and controls each unit described above. Therefore, the control unit 54 includes a distribution unit 541, a recommendation determination unit 542, and a distribution information generation unit 543 as functional modules realized by the microcomputer and a computer program executed on the microcomputer. .

  The distribution unit 541 receives the distribution information request signal from the security controller 3 or periodically transmits the distribution information generated by the distribution information generation unit 543 every predetermined time (for example, every hour). To the security controller 3 via. When the distribution unit 541 receives a connection request signal for requesting Web content from the security controller 3, the distribution unit 541 refers to the connection information and requests the Web content from the corresponding content provider server 8 via the content communication unit 53. To do. In response to this, the Web content received from the content provider server 8 is transmitted to the requesting security controller 3.

  The recommendation determination unit 542 compares the item category of each type of content provider stored in the management information table of the storage unit 51 with the life characteristics of the user of the security controller 3 stored in the user life characteristic information. The content provider (recommended content provider) that is most suitable for the life characteristics of the user is determined. The recommendation determination unit 542 stores a recommended combination table in which each life characteristic defined in the reference life characteristic table is associated with a business category category. For example, in the recommended combination table, a breakfast shortage type as a lifestyle characteristic is associated with a health food sales business as a business category. Based on the recommended combination table, the recommendation determination unit 542 extracts a content provider that matches the life characteristics of the user and determines it as a recommended content provider. The determined recommended content provider is stored in the storage unit 51 corresponding to each security controller 3.

  The distribution information generation unit 543 extracts the content provider (designated provider) stored in the browsing registration information of the storage unit 51 for each security controller 3, and uses only the connection information of the content provider (designated provider). To generate distribution information. The generated distribution information may be held in the storage unit 51 in association with the property ID of the security controller 3. The distribution information includes connection information of one or a plurality of content providers that are browsed and registered by the user, and specifically includes banner information stored in the management information table of the storage unit 51 and a link destination address. It is generated as Web content (HTML document). In addition, when the connection information of a plurality of content providers is included, the information is generated so as to be displayed in order from the highest display priority stored in the browsing registration information.

  The distribution information generation unit 543 generates distribution information so that the connection information of the recommended content provider determined by the recommendation determination unit 542 is given priority over other content providers. In other words, if the recommended content provider is included in the designated provider that is browsed and registered by the user, the distribution information generating unit 543 gives the display priority of the recommended content provider to other content providers. To generate distribution information. As a result, regardless of the display priority stored in the browsing registration information, the recommended content provider is displayed early in the distribution information. However, the display size of the connection information of the recommended content provider may be different from that of other content providers. In this case, the distribution information is generated by making the banner information of the recommended content provider larger (as a larger banner image) than the banner information of other content providers.

  On the other hand, if the recommended content provider is not included in the designated providers that are registered to be browsed by the user, exceptionally, distribution information including connection information of the recommended content provider is generated. In this case, the distribution information generation unit 543 generates distribution information by embedding recommended information that prompts the user to view and register the recommended content provider. The recommended information includes connection information of the recommended content provider and message information that prompts browsing registration. As a result, although not stored in the browsing registration information, the recommended content provider information is preferentially displayed, and the recommended content provider information can be provided to the user. Also in this case, the display size of the connection information of the recommended content provider may be different from that of other content providers.

<Description of operation>
A processing flow of the security system configured as described above will be described with reference to the drawings. First, the process of determining the life characteristics of the user of the security controller 3 will be described using the sequence diagram of FIG.

  The security controller 3 sets the out-going security mode or the home security mode by the user, and when an abnormality of the monitoring target 2 is detected by the detection signal of the security sensor 7 that performs intruder monitoring, the current status information in the storage unit 36 The contents of the abnormality are stored in and the abnormality signal is transmitted to the monitoring center 4. When the security controller 3 receives the detection signal from the security sensor 7, the security controller 3 stores the detection state of the sensor in the detection information table of the storage unit 36 together with the sensor ID and time information. Here, in the security controller 3, the activity time extraction unit 373, the trend determination unit 374, and the life characteristic determination unit 375 are activated in a predetermined execution cycle (for example, every week) to determine a user's life characteristic. It functions as a life determination means to perform

  As shown in FIG. 9, the activity time extraction unit 373 of the security controller 3 reads out the detection information in the security release mode and the home security mode in the past predetermined period (for example, one month) from the detection information table and performs processing (step ST1). . Then, the activity time extraction unit 373 reads the arrangement information table, regards the time range in which continuous detection information is obtained in the same room as the period during which the user stayed in the same room, and sets the time range in each room. Is extracted as an activity time zone (step ST2).

  The tendency determination unit 374 compares the activity time zones in each room for the same day of the week in the past predetermined period (for example, one month), statistically calculates the sameness of each activity time zone, and can determine that they are the same. The activity time zone is output as an active activity trend (step ST3). The sameness of the activity time zone is calculated as an average value of standard deviations of the first time and the last time of each activity time zone by extracting an activity time zone including at least a common time in each day. Then, when the sameness is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (the average value of the standard deviation is equal to or less than a threshold value (for example, 15 minutes)), the tendency determination unit 374 determines the average activity time zone of each compared activity time zone as the active activity tendency. (Step ST4).

  The life characteristic determination unit 375 compares the active activity tendency with the reference life characteristic table stored in the storage unit 36, and determines the life characteristic definition that matches the condition as the life characteristic of the user (step ST5). The determined life characteristics are transmitted to the remote distribution management device 5 (step ST6).

  In the distribution management device 5, when the life characteristic is received from the security controller 3, the received life characteristic is stored in the user life characteristic information of the storage unit 51 in association with the property ID of the security controller 3 (step ST7). The recommendation determination unit 542 of the distribution management apparatus 5 refers to the recommended combination table stored in advance, determines the category of the business category corresponding to the life characteristics of the user, and determines the content provider of this category as the user's It is determined as a content provider (recommended content provider) that is optimal for life characteristics (step ST8). The determined recommended content provider is stored in the storage unit 51 of the distribution management device 5.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the detection information in the security release mode and the home security mode in which the user is at home is compared within a predetermined period, and a certain activity trend common to the day is extracted. Then, according to the activity tendency (room type and time zone), the characteristics of the user's life are estimated. Thereby, the present life characteristic can be estimated from the recent activity tendency of the user, and it is possible to provide information that is considered to be highly necessary according to each user.

Next, a process of transmitting information suitable for the user of the security controller 3 as distribution information will be described using the sequence diagram of FIG.
The user of the security controller 3 designates a specific content provider who wishes to provide information in advance and performs an operation input for browsing registration (step ST11), and the display control unit 376 receives this and receives the content provider's operation. A browsing registration signal is transmitted to the distribution management device 5 (step ST12). When receiving the browsing registration signal from the security controller 3, the distribution management device 5 stores the content provider browsed and registered by the user corresponding to the property ID of the security controller 3 as a designated provider (step ST13).

  In the security controller 3, when the user operates the operation unit 34 and the display control unit 376 accepts a distribution information request input (step ST14), a distribution information request signal is transmitted to the distribution management device 5 (step ST15). .

  The distribution information generation unit 543 of the distribution management device 5 extracts the content provider (designated provider) that is browsed and registered from the user of the security controller 3 from the browsing registration information in the storage unit 51, and the connection of this designated provider. Distribution information is generated using the information (step ST16). At this time, the distribution information generation unit 543 generates distribution information so that the connection information of the recommended content provider stored by the recommendation determination unit 542 for the user of the security controller 3 is prioritized over other content providers ( Step ST17). For example, if the recommended content provider is included in the designated provider, the distribution information is generated so that the display priority of the recommended content provider is higher than that of other content providers and displayed first. If it is not included, the distribution information is generated by embedding recommended information prompting to browse and register the recommended content provider. The distribution information generation unit 543 generates distribution information for each security controller 3 as described above, but this generation timing is not limited to after step ST15, and is generated in advance (for example, when a life characteristic is received). Then, it may be stored in the storage unit 51 in association with the property ID of the security controller 3.

  When receiving the distribution information request signal from the security controller 3, the distribution unit 541 of the distribution management device 5 transmits the distribution information generated corresponding to the property ID of the security controller 3 to the security controller 3 (step ST18). . When the security controller 3 receives the distribution information, it displays it on the display unit 35 (step ST19). At this time, when connection information of any content provider in the distribution information is specified from the operation unit 34 (step ST20), a connection request signal for requesting the corresponding Web content is transmitted to the distribution management device 5 (step ST21). ). When receiving the connection request signal from the security controller 3, the distribution unit 541 of the distribution management device 5 acquires Web content from the server 8 of the corresponding content provider (step ST22). Then, this Web content is transmitted to the requesting security controller 3 (step ST23). When the security controller 3 receives the Web content from the distribution management device 5, the security controller 3 displays and outputs it on the display unit 35 (step ST24).

  As described above, in this embodiment, information suitable for the user is selected from a plurality of information types according to the characteristics of the user's life, and priority is given to other information desired by the user. Set the degree higher. This makes it possible to select the most appropriate information according to the user's recent activity trend, and the information that is currently considered to be highly necessary for each user without bothering the user. Can be provided.

  The embodiments of the present invention have been described above by way of example, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and can be changed or modified according to the purpose within the scope of the claims. is there.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the example in which the connection information of the content provider that should be recommended to the user according to the life characteristics of the user and the Web content of the content provider is distributed from the distribution management device has been described. Instead, various information that can be determined to be optimal according to the determined life characteristics may be provided to the user from the security controller. For example, advice information corresponding to the life characteristics of the user is stored in the security controller or the distribution management device, and security and disaster prevention advice or health information corresponding to the life characteristics determined from the user's active activity tendency Advice or the like may be output to the display unit of the security controller.

Further, in this embodiment, in order to grasp the activity when the user is at home, the detection information while being set in the security release mode and the home security mode in the past predetermined period in the activity time extraction unit is obtained. Although the example extracted from a detection information table was demonstrated, it is not limited to this. In other words, the security release mode is a security mode that is set when there is frequent entry and exit, such as during the day, as described above, and depending on the monitoring target, not only users in the living area but also temporary visitors There may be situations where outpatients come and go frequently. In that case, the detection information at the time of the security release mode often includes noise derived from temporary outsiders other than the user. On the other hand, the home security mode is a security mode that guards the outer peripheral part of the dwelling unit while the user is at home, and it is rare for outpatients to enter and exit frequently because the security is partially effective it is conceivable that.
Therefore, the activity time extraction unit may extract detection information from the detection information table while the home security mode is set in the past predetermined period. Thereby, although the number of samples is smaller than the detection information while being set in the security release mode and the home security mode described in the above-described embodiment, the detection information regarding the user in the living area is accurately extracted. Can do.

  Moreover, although this embodiment demonstrated the example which determines a user's life characteristic with a security controller, you may make it determine a life characteristic with a delivery management apparatus using the information acquired from the security controller, It is not limited to this. When life characteristics are determined by the distribution management device using information acquired from the security controller, the security controller and the distribution management device function as the security device of the present invention.

For example, the distribution management device may be configured to include an activity time extraction unit, a trend determination unit, and a life characteristic determination unit as a life determination unit that performs processing for determining the life characteristics of the user. In this case, the life determination unit of the distribution management apparatus is activated in a predetermined execution cycle (for example, every week) to determine the life characteristics of the user as in the present embodiment. That is, the security controller receives the request signal from the activity time extraction unit of the distribution management device, reads out the detection information in the security release mode and the home security mode in the past predetermined period (for example, one month) from the detection information table, To the distribution management device. And the process concerning step ST1 to ST5 of FIG. 9 is performed in the life determination means (an activity time extraction part, a tendency determination part, and a life characteristic determination part) of a delivery management apparatus.
Similarly to the above-described embodiment, it is possible to extract a certain activity trend common to the user by comparing the detection information when the user is at home within a predetermined period. It is possible to infer the user's life characteristics according to the time zone.

  Furthermore, in this case, the arrangement information table stored in the security controller may be stored and managed by the distribution management device. That is, when the information of the arrangement information table is input by the worker at the time of installation or maintenance replacement of the security controller, the security controller transmits the arrangement information table to the distribution management apparatus, and the distribution management apparatus sets the property ID of the security controller. It is configured to store in association with each other.

  In the present embodiment, the example in which the detection information when the security release mode and the home security mode are set is regarded as the user activity and the activity time zone is extracted has been described. However, the user activity is detected. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Hereinafter, an example in which a user activity is detected by an RFID tag will be described as a modified example.

  For example, a user possesses an RFID tag as an identification wireless device, and the fact that the user's RFID tag is detected by a security sensor or an RFID tag reader installed in each place (RFID tag identification information) is input as a detection signal. In this way, the security controller may be configured to make an abnormality determination as an intruder when a detection signal is input from the security sensor in a state where the human body carrying the RFID tag is not in the room. A security system using such an RFID tag is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-113931.

  In this case, since the presence of the user can be detected directly, the activity time zone is extracted using the detection information that detects the user carrying the RFID tag. For this reason, in response to the input of the detection signal, the presence / absence of the RFID tag and the identification information of the RFID tag are stored in the detection information table in addition to the information shown in FIG. The arrangement information table also stores arrangement information of the RFID tag reader. Then, the activity time extraction unit reads the detection information of the RFID tag and the detection information of the security sensor when the human body holding the RFID tag is in the room as the detection information of the user who owns the RFID tag. The activity time zone is extracted from the detection information and the detected room (arrangement information table) information as in the above-described embodiment.

  Further, in the case where a plurality of individual users can be identified using the RFID tag as described above, it is preferable to read out the detection information for each room and extract the activity time zone for each identification information of the user. It becomes. As a result, the activity time zone for each room can be determined on a per-user basis. In this case, the trend determination unit compares the activity time for a predetermined period (for example, one month) between the same users (same user identification information). Configure to The life characteristic determination unit determines the life characteristic corresponding to the user identification information, and the user life characteristic information of the distribution information management device includes the life corresponding to the property ID of the security controller and the user identification information. The characteristics are stored.

  As in the above-described embodiment, this also enables the user to compare the detection information at home within a predetermined period to extract a certain activity trend common to each day, and in particular, the activity of each individual user. It becomes possible to distinguish and determine the tendency, and it is possible to estimate the life characteristics of each individual user according to this activity tendency (room type, time zone, and user).
