Description

  The present invention outputs a disaster prevention alarm such as an earthquake or tsunami transmitted from a local disaster prevention radio equipment such as a municipal disaster prevention radio equipment using an alarm device that detects an alarm such as a fire or gas leak installed indoors. It relates to a disaster prevention alarm linkage system, relay adapter and alarm device.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, alarm devices that detect and warn of abnormalities such as fires and gas leaks in houses have become widespread. Of these, residential disaster alarms are referred to as residential alarms.

  For example, in such a house alarm, a sensor unit and an alarm unit are integrally provided in the house alarm, and when a fire is detected from a fire detection signal by the sensor unit, a fire alarm of a predetermined pattern is output from the alarm unit. Because it is possible to monitor and alarm with a resident alarm alone without the need for dedicated receiving equipment, etc., it is easy to install and inexpensive, and it has become widespread due to the mandatory installation in ordinary houses. doing.

  In addition, by communicating between multiple home alarms, we propose a linked alarm system that outputs fire alarms in conjunction with other home alarms when any home alarm outputs a fire alarm. Has been put to practical use.

  In such an interlocking alarm system, when a fire is detected by a home alarm, the home alarm that detects the fire is a fire alarm sound of a predetermined pattern including a message, such as “Woo Woo Fire Alarm”. On the other hand, for example, a fire alarm sound such as “Please check if another fire alarm has been activated.” .

  On the other hand, municipalities have installed and operated municipal disaster prevention radio equipment for disaster prevention administration. Municipal disaster prevention radio equipment consists of a master station, relay station, and slave station equipped with a console, and a slave station that notifies the alarm from a loudspeaker is installed in the slave station and installed indoors if necessary. A door-to-door receiver is also provided to notify the alarm.

  In such a municipal disaster prevention radio equipment, if an emergency earthquake warning is received or a tsunami warning is issued, the person in charge of disaster prevention administration operates the corresponding alarm operation button on the console to modulate the audio signal. The emergency information signal is transmitted from the master station, and the emergency information signal is received via the relay station or directly at the loudspeaker station installed outdoors and the door-to-door receiver installed in the residence. The alarm is sent from the loudspeaker to the area in charge at the set volume, or the alarm is output from the door-to-door receiver.

  In recent years, due to national measures, the conventional analog system has been abandoned and a digital system has been promoted. In the near future, digital systems will be introduced in all municipalities.

JP 2007-094719 A Utility Model Registration No. 3154579 JP 2009-244937 A JP 2009-284237 A JP 2008-299597 A Registered Utility Model No. 3167638 International Publication No. 2009/118951 JP 2011-22899 A Radio industry "City / town / town digital broadcast communication system standard ARIB STD-T86 2.0 edition", November 30, 2005 2.0 revision [May 30, 2011 search], Internet (URL: (www.arib.or.jp/tyosakenkyu/kikaku_tushin/tsushin_kikaku_number.html)

  However, in such conventional municipal disaster prevention radio equipment, the emergency information signal transmitted from the master station is received by a loudspeaker station installed outdoors, and an alarm is sent from the loudspeaker to the jurisdiction at a loud volume. However, when alarms are output simultaneously from multiple loudspeaker stations, there is a problem in that it is difficult to hear the alarm content due to multiple sounds interfering in places where both sounds reach, and the deadline. However, there is still a problem that it is difficult to hear an outdoor alarm from a loudspeaker station when indoors.

  In order to solve this problem, it is only necessary to install a dedicated receiver for each dwelling unit. However, the installation cost is greatly increased, and it takes time and labor for maintenance, which is not practical.

  In addition, when a door-to-door receiver is installed in a dwelling unit, alarms such as earthquake early warnings and tsunami warnings can be heard only within the range where the sound from the door-to-door receiver can be heard. There are problems such as high cost and installation space must be secured in various places.

  Also, the door-to-door receiver may not be able to receive radio waves with sufficient intensity in some rooms due to poor radio wave conditions, and may not function effectively even if installed in such a place.

  In order to solve this problem, the inventor of the present application outputs the emergency information by transmitting the emergency information notification signal transmitted from the municipal disaster prevention radio equipment to the mortgage installed in the house after converting the protocol by the relay adapter. We have proposed a disaster prevention information linkage system.

  In such a disaster prevention information linkage system, it is necessary to check the operation by outputting disaster prevention information from the mortgage through periodic tests, which is realized by the test operation of the master unit installed in the municipal disaster prevention radio equipment Although it is possible, there is a problem that it takes time and effort in an artificial operation. In addition, it is conceivable to install a test timer on the side of the house alarm, but it is difficult to provide time information for the test timer, such as the initial start time of the test timer and the accumulation of timer errors. Therefore, the possibility that the test notification of disaster prevention information is performed during sleep at night remains as a problem.

  The present invention makes it possible to easily and appropriately perform an operation test when notifying emergency information such as an earthquake early warning or arrival of a tsunami from an alarm installed indoors in cooperation with a local disaster prevention radio equipment such as a municipal disaster prevention radio equipment. It aims at providing a disaster prevention alarm cooperation system, a relay adapter, and an alarm device.

  The emergency information notification signal is an emergency earthquake warning notification signal or a tsunami warning notification signal.

  According to the present invention, the emergency information notification signal transmitted from the regional disaster prevention radio equipment is converted into a protocol by the relay adapter, and transmitted to an alarm device such as a fire alarm device that is obliged to install in a house, so that an emergency earthquake warning or tsunami can be transmitted. By outputting disaster prevention information such as warnings, it is possible to build a system that notifies emergency earthquake warnings and tsunami warnings for each dwelling unit at a low cost. The emergency earthquake broadcast test broadcast sent on the first day of every month was detected, and the test-linked signal was sent to the alarm through the protocol conversion by the relay adapter. Thus, it is possible to regularly and automatically test the cooperative operation and the alarm operation of the alarm device, thereby improving the reliability of the cooperative system operation.

  In addition, the automatic test of the alarm device is performed in units of one month based on, for example, the test broadcast on the first day of every month, but if you want to change the test cycle, set the number of test broadcasts to be tested to a predetermined number of times. By setting it, it is possible to easily set the test cycle such as a unit of 2 months or a unit of 3 months and perform an automatic test.

  In addition, when performing an automatic test with a test timer provided in the alarm device, there is a possibility that the test notification output of disaster prevention information may be performed during nighttime sleep due to the accumulated time of the initial setting or timer error. Since the test broadcast is performed at noon on the first day of every month, this is not the case, and the automatic test can be reliably performed at a fixed time in the daytime.

[Configuration of disaster prevention alarm linkage system]
(Outline of the system)
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an outline of a disaster prevention alarm cooperation system according to the present invention in which a municipal disaster prevention radio facility is taken as an example of a regional disaster prevention radio facility, and this is combined with a residence guard.

  In FIG. 1, a disaster prevention alarm linkage system according to the present invention includes a municipality disaster prevention radio equipment 10 known as a municipal digital broadcast communication system that covers a target area such as a municipality as a service area, and a house built in the same target area. 24 is configured by an alarm system including a wireless residence alarm device (residential fire alarm device) 100 that detects and interlocks with a fire.

  Here, the municipal disaster prevention radio equipment 10 transmits, receives and relays signals wirelessly in accordance with a predetermined first wireless communication protocol, while the home alarm device 100 transmits an interlocking signal in accordance with a different predetermined second wireless communication protocol. Executes a linked alarm by receiving and relaying. The first wireless communication protocol corresponds to the first communication protocol in the claims, and the second wireless communication protocol corresponds to the second communication protocol in the claims.

  In addition, the house alarm 100 forms a unique group for each house 24 installed, and the interlocking signal transmitted from the house alarm 100 includes a predetermined group code, and the interlocking signal is received. When the group code obtained by decoding the interlocking signal matches the group code to which the self belongs, the effective reception of the interlocking signal is detected and an interlocking alarm is issued.

  The municipal disaster prevention radio equipment 10 is configured by appropriately arranging a master station 12, a console 14, a loudspeaker slave station 16 equipped with a loudspeaker 18, a door-to-door receiver 20, a relay station 22, and the like. The master station 12 is the highest station provided in a city hall, a village office, etc., and performs two-way communication with the relay station 22 and the loudspeaker station 16, and communicates with the individual receiver 14 in the vicinity of the master station 12 in the downstream direction. Do. The relay station 22 is installed, for example, at the top of a mountain in consideration of an area where radio waves do not reach, and performs bidirectional relay between the master station 12 and the loudspeaker slave station 16 and relay from the master station 12 to the individual receiver 20.

  FIG. 1 shows a case where the door-to-door receiver 20 is provided in a place other than the house 24, for example, a public facility such as a public hall, and can be provided in the house 24 as necessary. In the form, since the disaster prevention information is notified and output using the residence guard 100 provided in the house 24, the residence guard 100 will cover a part of the functions of the door-to-door receiver 20, and thus the residence unit. It is not always necessary to install the receiver 20 in the house 24. The house 24 includes dwelling units and houses.

  In addition, the municipal disaster prevention radio equipment 10 is connected to a retransmitting slave station and an operation console 14 for relaying radio waves in a limited area such as a valley where radio wave propagation is poor, and is connected to a master station from a place other than the master station 12 by a wired connection. A remote control station or the like that controls 120 to make a selective call of a slave station or a loudspeaking report is installed as required. In FIG. 1, the case where one relay station 22 is arranged is taken as an example. However, by installing a plurality of relay stations 22 and retransmission slave stations as necessary, a plurality of master stations 12 and a plurality of relay stations 22 are arranged. A disaster prevention wireless network is constructed in which the door-to-door receiver 20 and the loudspeaker slave station 16 are connected by a wireless line.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, an emergency information receiving device 15 is provided for the master station 12. The emergency information receiving device 15 automatically reproduces and outputs a broadcast signal when it detects reception of an emergency alert broadcast or emergency earthquake bulletin that is an emergency information broadcast, and when it detects reception of an emergency alert broadcast test signal. Then, a test report signal is transmitted from the master unit 12. Furthermore, when the emergency information receiving device 15 detects the reception of the earthquake early warning, the emergency station early warning signal is automatically transmitted from the master station 12.

  The communication system of the municipal disaster prevention radio communication facility 10 is a TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) -TDD (Multi-channel) by dividing one radio carrier into frames and dividing the frames into slots corresponding to the number of multiplexing. Time division duplex (Time Division Duplex) system. Specifically, it complies with the standard of radio section interface of digital broadcast communication system for disaster prevention administration by TDMA-TDD system of municipal digital disaster prevention radio communication system in 60MHz band stipulated in Article 58-2-12 of Radio Equipment Regulations .

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a frame configuration in the communication system of the municipal disaster prevention radio equipment 10 (frame configuration in the TDMA radio system). One frame consists of six slots # 0 to # 5, and slot # 0 and slot # 3 are signaling channels SCCH that are point-to-point bidirectional channels for transferring information between the master station and the slave stations. Slot # 1, slot # 2, slot # 4, and slot # 5 are traffic channels TCH that the user uses exclusively for communication. Slot # 0 to slot # 2 are basically slots in the downlink direction, and slot # 3 to slot # 3 are basically slots in the uplink direction.

  Referring to FIG. 1 again, in this embodiment, the relay adapter 100 is installed outdoors in each service area obtained by dividing the service area of the municipal disaster prevention radio equipment according to the local situation. For example, it is installed on a column where the loudspeaker slave station 16 is installed. The relay adapter 200 receives a notification signal in accordance with the first wireless communication protocol transmitted from the master station 12 or transmitted via the relay station 22, and sends the notification signal to the second alarm signal on the side of the home alarm device 100. It is converted into an interlocking signal according to the wireless communication protocol and transmitted.

  The interlocking signal transmitted from the relay adapter 200 includes a common group code, and when the home alarm device 100 installed in each house 24 receives and decodes the interlocking signal and detects the common group code, Even if the group code does not match, the interlock signal from the relay adapter 200 is effectively received and the notification output is performed. Here, the interlock signal set with the common group code means an interlock signal without group designation in the claims.

  The communicable area that is the service area of the relay adapter 200 is an area that includes the home guard 100 that is installed in a house in the area where the sound from the loudspeaker 18 of the loudspeaker 16 reaches, for example. For this reason, the relay adapter 200 is installed so as to cover the required service area as a communicable area depending on the transmission power, the direction of the antenna, and the like.

  If one relay adapter 200 cannot cover the required service area, a plurality of relay adapters 200 are installed as necessary. Further, by installing the relay adapter 200 in the vicinity of the loudspeaker slave station 16, for example, on a support column, the AC power supply of the loudspeaker slave station 16 can be used as it is as an AC power source for the relay adapter 200 installed outdoors. Since it is not necessary to secure a dedicated outdoor AC power source for 200, the equipment configuration can be simplified and the installation cost can be reduced.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of distribution of communication service areas determined by the relay adapter in the embodiment of FIG. Here, the service area is divided into service areas or service areas.

  In FIG. 3, in the service area (communicable area) of the municipal disaster prevention radio equipment by the master station 12 and the relay station 22, the relay adapter 200 is installed outdoors, for example, in service areas A1 to A4. The adapter 200 sets a communicable area that covers the home alarm device 100 installed inside the dwelling unit existing in each service area A1 to A4.

  In this way, by installing the relay adapter 200 outdoors corresponding to the service areas A1 to A4, the master station 12 selects the relay adapter 200 as a transmission destination, thereby arbitrarily selecting the service areas A1 to A4 to send the notification signal. Select one or a plurality of service areas as required, and output disaster prevention information based on emergency calls from the home guard 100 installed indoors in the selected service area. Can do.

  For example, in the case of emergency earthquake warning or emergency alert, the relay adapter 200 of all regions is selected by the operation at the master station 12 and an emergency alert information notification signal is transmitted. In the case of a tsunami alert, the area facing the coastline is selected. The relay adapter 200 is selected and an emergency alert information notification signal is transmitted.

In addition, communication modes include door-to-door communication that communicates with a specific slave station, group communication that communicates with a group consisting of a plurality of slave stations, and batch communication that includes all standby slave stations. There are communication control that enables communication control such as information communication, emergency control, call control of a slave station at the master station 12 and call time limit.

  In the present embodiment, an emergency earthquake warning signal, a tsunami warning signal, and an emergency warning signal are transmitted from the master station 12 according to the first wireless communication protocol, and this is handled by the relay adapter 200 installed outdoors. 2) Converted into an earthquake early warning interlocking signal, tsunami warning interlocking signal, and emergency alert interlocking signal in accordance with the wireless communication protocol, and installed in the house, the resident alarm 100 is an emergency earthquake early warning interlocking signal, tsunami warning interlocking signal or emergency alert interlocking. When effective reception of a signal is detected, disaster prevention information corresponding to each is notified and output.

  When the disaster prevention officer of the master station 12 receives emergency information broadcast by the emergency information receiver 15 and determines the necessity of emergency notification, the emergency earthquake warning, tsunami warning or emergency warning notification provided on the console 14 By operating the button and the selection button of the report area, an emergency earthquake warning report signal, tsunami warning report signal or emergency alert report signal is transmitted to the slave station side by broadcast communication or door-to-door communication.

  This emergency earthquake warning report signal, tsunami warning report signal, or emergency alert report signal is transmitted to the slave station side, regardless of the operation of the person in charge of disaster prevention. It may be automatically transmitted from the master station 12 by an output signal based on signal reception detection.

  Here, emergency information broadcasts received by a television receiver, FM receiver, or AM receiver include an emergency earthquake warning (EEW) and an emergency warning system (EWS). The earthquake early warning is a warning issued by the Japan Meteorological Agency with an estimated maximum seismic intensity of less than 5 for the general public, and warns that there is a possibility of serious disasters due to earthquake motion to areas where strong shaking is expected Broadcast. The earthquake early warning is, for example, “(twice chime sound) emergency earthquake early warning. Beware of strong shaking.

  The emergency warning broadcast is an alarm that is given when a disaster such as an earthquake occurs or when a tsunami warning is announced, and automatically switches on a standby television or radio receiver. The first type start signal, the second type start signal, and the end signal are used for the start and end of the emergency warning broadcast. The first type start signal is transmitted when a warning declaration of the Tokai earthquake is announced, or when an evacuation instruction is issued from the governor or the head of the local government, and automatically turns on the receiver. The type 2 start signal is transmitted only when a tsunami warning is announced, and the same automatically turns on the receiver. The end signal is transmitted a predetermined time after the transmission of the first type or second type start signal, and automatically turns off the receiver. In order to confirm the operation of the receiver, a test signal is transmitted, for example, once a month at a predetermined time, for example, at noon on the first day of every month. This test signal is the same as the end signal, and only the end signal is received. If it does, check whether the receiver operates normally.

  In the following description, when the earthquake early warning, tsunami warning and emergency warning are collectively expressed, it is called emergency information, and signals representing these transmitted from the master station 12 are the emergency earthquake early warning signal, tsunami warning notification. Signals and emergency alert notification signals, and collectively referred to as emergency information notification signals. Furthermore, a signal transmitted from the master station 12 based on the detection of the emergency alert broadcast test signal by the emergency information receiver 15 is referred to as a test notification signal.

  In addition, a signal transmitted and received between the housing alarm devices 100 in the alarm system is referred to as an “interlocking signal”, and the interlocking signal includes a fire interlocking signal, a fire recovery interlocking signal, an alarm stop interlocking signal, a failure interlocking signal, and the like. When the relay adapter 200 receives an emergency earthquake warning report signal, a tsunami warning report signal, an emergency warning report signal, and a test report signal according to the first wireless communication protocol from the master station 12, the second wireless communication is performed based on the report signal. It will be converted to an interlocking signal including a common group code according to the protocol (interlocking signal without group designation) and relayed, and the interlocking signal in this case will be linked to the earthquake early warning interlocking signal, tsunami warning interlocking signal, emergency alarm interlocking Signals and test-linked signals. Furthermore, when the home alarm device 100 receives an emergency earthquake warning interlocking signal, a tsunami warning interlocking signal, an emergency alert interlocking signal, and a test interlocking signal from the relay adapter 200 or another housing guard, the interlocking to which it belongs is based on the interlocking signal. An interlocking signal including a group code assigned to the group is generated and relay-transmitted to the other home alarm device.

This is an example, and the separation and integration of each function can be performed arbitrarily. Further, any part or all of each function may be executed by software (program) or may be executed by hardware.

  In FIG. 5, the emergency information receiver 15 includes a processor 82, an FM receiver 84 connected to an FM antenna 83, an audio amplifier 85, a speaker 86, a display unit 88, an operation unit 90, a memory 192, and an interface unit 94. The processor 82 is provided with a reception control unit 96 as a function realized by executing the program.

  The FM receiving unit 84 tunes the tuner to the FM station selected by the operation of the operation unit 90, receives the broadcast radio wave by the FM antenna 83, demodulates the broadcast signal, and outputs it as an audio signal. The sound amplifying unit 85 stops operating in the standby state, and therefore, the FM broadcast received from the speaker 86 is not reproduced and output.

  When the effective reception of the emergency earthquake warning signal, tsunami warning signal, or emergency warning signal is detected by the analysis processing of the reception control unit 96 provided in the processor 82, the voice amplifying unit 55 is switched to the operating state, and at that time, playback from the FM receiving unit 84 is performed. The broadcast contents of the outputted emergency earthquake warning signal, tsunami warning signal or emergency warning signal are reproduced and output from the speaker 86. The display unit 88 performs various displays necessary for FM broadcast reception such as standby reception display, emergency earthquake warning reception display, tsunami warning reception display, emergency warning reception display, and channel selection frequency display.

  The receiving source control unit 96 provided in the processor 82 inputs and analyzes the FM broadcast signal received and demodulated by the FM receiving unit 84, and receives an earthquake early warning signal, a tsunami warning signal, an emergency warning signal, or a test signal in the emergency warning broadcasting. The presence or absence of effective reception is detected.

  The analysis and detection of the earthquake early warning signal by the reception control unit 96 detects that the emergency earthquake early warning signal has been effectively received by the analysis processing of the chime sound that flows twice at the beginning of the emergency earthquake early warning broadcast signal. The voice amplifying unit 85 is operated for a predetermined time, for example, and an emergency earthquake warning is reproduced and output from the speaker 86. The chime sound analysis of the earthquake early warning by the reception control unit 96 is performed by, for example, the vector correlation method described in Patent Document 3.

  The analysis and detection of the tsunami warning signal by the reception control unit 96 is performed by analyzing and detecting the reception of the second type start signal that flows during the first 10 seconds of the tsunami warning signal. Control is performed so that the tsunami warning broadcast is reproduced by the time operation and output from the speaker 86. Further, when receiving and analyzing the reception of the end signal transmitted after a predetermined time, for example, 10 minutes after the analysis detection of the second type start signal, based on this, the operation of the sound amplifying unit 85 is stopped and the speaker 86 is stopped. You may make it perform control which stops the output of broadcast sound.

  The analysis and detection of the emergency warning signal by the reception control unit 96 is performed by analyzing the effectiveness of the first type start signal that flows during the first 10 seconds of the emergency warning signal and detecting the voice amplification unit 85 based on this. Control is performed so that the emergency warning broadcast is reproduced and output from the speaker 86 by operating for a time. Further, when receiving and analyzing the reception of the end signal transmitted after a predetermined time, for example, 10 minutes after the analysis and detection of the first type start signal, based on this, the operation of the sound amplifying unit 85 is stopped and the speaker 86 is stopped. You may make it perform control which stops the output of broadcast sound.

  In addition, the analysis and detection of the emergency warning broadcast test signal by the reception control unit 96 is, for example, in the case of NHK (R) as the emergency warning broadcast test signal, the first type start signal as a test signal at noon on the first day of every month. Since only the end signal is transmitted without transmitting the second type start signal, when the validity of only the end signal flowing for 10 seconds is analyzed and detected, the reception of the test signal is determined. Based on this, the voice amplifying unit 85 is operated for a predetermined time to reproduce the emergency alarm test broadcast and output it from the speaker 86. Further, a test signal is output from the interface unit 96 to the master station 12, and the master station 12 A test report signal in accordance with the communication protocol is generated and transmitted by broadcast communication targeting all the residential alarms 100. In addition, when the reception control unit 96 analyzes and detects reception of the end signal transmitted again after a predetermined time from the end signal analysis and detection, based on this, the reception control unit 96 stops the operation of the audio amplification unit 85 and broadcasts from the speaker 86. Control to stop sound output.

  Here, the first type start signal, the second type start signal, and the end signal in analog broadcasting use audio signals, and the digital signal bit 1 is frequency-modulated to a 1024 Hz audio signal and bit 0 to a 640 Hz audio signal. The FSK signal is transmitted at a communication speed of 64 bps, and can be heard as a tingling sound.

  On the other hand, in digital broadcasting, since it is transmitted with predetermined data defined as an emergency warning broadcast identifier, this is received and analyzed and detected.

  The reception control unit 96 operates the audio amplifying unit 85 to reproduce the broadcast sound at that time and starts output from the speaker 86. Then, when a predetermined time has passed for the earthquake early warning, a tsunami warning or an emergency warning is issued. For example, when the effective reception of the end signal is analyzed and detected for the test broadcast, for example, when the effective reception of the end signal is analyzed and detected again, the operation of the audio amplifying unit 55 is stopped and the output of the broadcast sound from the speaker 86 is stopped. To control.

  Here, the equipment power source of the master station 12, the console 14 and the emergency information receiver 15 is a commercial AC power source, but a battery power source is provided for backup in the event of a power failure.

  In the emergency information receiving apparatus 15 of FIG. 5, FM broadcast is received. However, the emergency information signal and the test signal may be detected by receiving and analyzing television broadcast (digital TV broadcast). In this case, instead of the FM receiver 84 connected to the FM antenna 83, a digital TV receiver connected to the TV antenna is provided, and the TV broadcast audio data signal received and demodulated by the digital TV receiver by the reception controller 96 is provided. The TV broadcast data signal may be input and analyzed to detect the effective reception of the emergency earthquake warning signal, tsunami warning signal, emergency warning signal, or emergency warning broadcast end signal. The digital TV receiving unit may be a receiving unit of a one-segment partial receiving service for mobile phones / mobile terminals known as one-segment broadcasting.

  Further, the emergency information receiving device 15 in FIG. 5 may detect the emergency information signal and the test signal by receiving and analyzing the AM broadcast. In this case, instead of the FM receiver 84 connected to the FM antenna 83, an AM receiver connected to the AM antenna is provided, and an AM broadcast audio signal received and demodulated by the AM receiver by the reception controller 96 is input. It is sufficient to detect the effective reception of the emergency earthquake warning signal, tsunami warning signal, emergency warning signal, or emergency warning broadcast test signal.

(Configuration of loudspeaker 16)
FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the loudspeaker slave station 16. The loudspeaker slave station 16 uses a processor (computer) as hardware, and is provided with a control unit 46 and a telephone control unit 30 as functions realized by execution of the program, and further connected to the loudspeaker 18 as hardware. A wireless communication unit (first wireless communication unit) 58 connected to the unit 28 and an antenna 60 that performs wireless transmission and reception in accordance with the first wireless communication protocol, a power supply circuit unit 55 that generates DC power from the AC 100 V and supplies the DC power to each unit; A standby power supply unit 55a using a secondary battery such as a battery is provided.

When effective reception of audio data (encoded audio signal) is detected, the audio signal is decoded from the audio data, output to the audio output unit 52, amplified to a set level, and output from the loudspeaker 18. The setting level that is amplified by the audio output unit 52 is set to a level that is sufficient for the sound to reach the entire area of the district in charge of the loudspeaker slave station 16 and the broadcast content to be heard. Further, the control unit 46 outputs the transmission data to the wireless communication unit 58 and arranges it in a predetermined slot so as to transmit it to the master station side.

  The telephone control unit 56 controls call connection between the child telephone 56 and a parent telephone provided in the parent station. The wireless communication unit 48 is basically the same as the wireless communication unit 32 of the master station 12 shown in FIG. 3, but the antenna transmission power is a lower value.

(Configuration of the door-to-door receiver 20)
FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the door-to-door receiver 20. The individual receiver 20 uses a processor (for example, a one-chip computer) as hardware, is provided with a control unit 62 as a function realized by executing the program, and is further wirelessly connected with an antenna 60 that performs wireless reception as hardware. A communication unit 64, a display unit 68, an operation unit 70, an IF circuit unit (interface circuit unit) 72 having an IF port 74, and an audio output unit 76 connected to a speaker 78 are provided and connected to the control unit 62. The power supply unit 80 inputs commercial AC power, converts it into predetermined DC power, and supplies it to each unit, but also includes a battery power source for portable use.

  The wireless communication unit 62 has only a reception function according to the first wireless communication protocol, receives and demodulates a notification signal according to the first wireless communication protocol transmitted from the master station 12, extracts a downlink slot, and controls it as reception data To the unit 62. When the control unit 62 decodes the reception data input from the wireless communication unit 64 and detects effective reception of the voice data (encoded voice signal), the control unit 62 decodes the voice signal from the reception data and outputs the decoded voice signal to the voice output unit 76. It is amplified to a predetermined level and a notification is output from the speaker 78.

  Further, when the control unit 62 decodes the received data and detects effective reception of data other than voice, for example, the demodulated data is transferred from the IF circuit unit 72 to a device connected to the IF port 74. The individual receiver 20 basically demodulates and outputs an audio signal. In addition to this, character data, FAX image data, and the like are demodulated as necessary and output to an externally connected device. You may do it.

(Overview of the home alarm 100)
Referring again to FIG. 1, the home alarm device 100 installed in the house 24 has a function of transmitting and receiving interlocking signals to and from each other according to the second wireless communication protocol. The presence or absence is monitored.

  Now, if a fire occurs in a certain house 24, for example, the house alarm device 100 detects the fire and starts an alarm. Detecting this fire and initiating an alarm is referred to as “reporting” at the home alarm.

  When the home alarm device 100 issues a report, the home alarm device 100 functions as an interlocking source, and wirelessly transmits a fire interlocking signal to another home alarm device as an interlocking destination according to a predetermined second wireless communication protocol. When the other house alarm device effectively receives the fire interlock signal from the interlocking source house alarm device 100, the alarm operation as the interlock destination is performed by the alarm sound and the alarm display.

  Here, when the group code included in the received interlocking signal matches the group code stored in the memory and the signal content is normally recognized, the home alarm device 100 confirms that the interlocking signal has been effectively received. I try to detect it. Furthermore, the resident guard 100 that has received the interlock signal effectively performs relay transmission of the interlock signal as necessary. The group code is set as a unique code for each alarm system, and each residential alarm can identify and process only the interlocking signal related to the alarm system to which it belongs.

  As an alarm operation of the home alarm 100 that is the linkage source, for example, a fire alarm sound is output by a voice message such as “Please confirm that the Woo Woo fire alarm has been activated”. On the other hand, the linked home alarm device 100 outputs a fire alarm sound by a voice message such as “Please check if another fire alarm is activated”.

  Moreover, as an alarm display accompanying the fire alarm of the house alarm device 100 which became the interlocking | linkage origin, LED is lighted, for example. On the other hand, in the interlocking destination home alarm device 100, the LED blinks. As a result, the alarm display by the LED in the interlock source alarm and the interlock destination alarm can be distinguished.

  It should be noted that the interlocking source LED may be blinking and the interlocking destination LED may be lit, or the same LED may be blinking or blinking or lit for both the interlocking source alarm and the interlocking destination alarm. Further, for example, a red LED and a yellow LED may be provided, and the two-color display may be performed such that the interlocking source drives the red LED and the interlocking destination drives the yellow LED. Of course, it is also possible to employ a two-color LED that can emit both red and yellow by integrating two LEDs.

  When the alarm stop switch is operated in a state in which the house alarm 100 is emitting an alarm sound, the alarm sound and the alarm display stop process are performed. At this time, for example, when an alarm stop operation is performed at the interlocking source residence police 100, the alarms of all the residence guards 100 are stopped, and the alert stop operation is performed at the interlocking destination residence guard 100. In such a case, the alarm of the interlocking home police 100 is not stopped, but the alarm of the interlocking home police 100-2 is stopped so that the location of the fire is known.

  In the case of Japan, transmission / reception by the home security device 100 using the predetermined second wireless communication protocol is, for example, STD-30 (a low-power security system wireless station) known as a standard for a specific low-power wireless station in the 400 MHz band. It conforms to STD-T67 (standard specification for radio equipment for specific low power radio station telemeter, telecontrol and data transmission). Of course, when used outside Japan, the content conforms to the standard of the assigned radio station in that region. The transmission power of the residential guard 10 compliant with the specified low-power radio station is 10 mW or less for STD-30, 10 mW or less or 1 mW or less for STD-T67, and the line-of-sight communication distance is approximately 100 meters. It becomes.

  The home guard 100 installed indoors in the house 24 is an emergency information link signal including a common group code according to the second wireless communication protocol transmitted after protocol conversion by the relay adapter 200 installed outdoors. When an earthquake early warning interlocking signal, a tsunami warning interlocking signal, or an emergency alert interlocking signal is received and effective reception is detected by decoding it, predetermined disaster prevention information is notified and output accordingly. In addition, when a test interlocking signal including a common group code according to the second wireless communication protocol transmitted by the protocol conversion by the relay adapter 200 is received, and when this is decoded and effective reception is detected, predetermined test disaster prevention information is Information is output.

  When the home alarm device 100 detects the effective reception of the earthquake early warning interlocking signal from the relay adapter 200, the disaster prevention information corresponding to the emergency earthquake early warning is, for example, “PPP emergency earthquake early warning. Be wary of strong shaking.” The voice message is repeatedly notified and output, and the LED is turned on, for example.

  In addition, when the home alarm device 100-1 detects the effective reception of the tsunami warning interlocking signal from the relay adapter 200, the disaster prevention information corresponding to the tsunami warning is issued, for example, “Phi Tsunami warning has been issued. Please evacuate to the hill. "The voice message such as" Please evacuate. "

  In addition, when the home alarm device 100-1 detects the effective reception of the emergency alert interlocking signal from the relay adapter 200, for example, a voice message such as “PPP emergency alert has been issued” is provided as disaster prevention information corresponding to the emergency alert. The notification is repeatedly output and the LED is turned on, for example.

  Furthermore, when the home alarm device 100-1 detects the effective reception of the test interlocking signal from the relay adapter 200, for example, a voice message such as “Perform emergency emergency alarm test has been issued” as test disaster prevention information. Is repeatedly output and the LED is turned on, for example. Note that the test disaster prevention information reduces power consumption by setting a lower volume than the actual alarm volume.

  Each disaster prevention information or test disaster prevention information that has been notified and output from the home alarm device 100 is stopped, for example, after a predetermined time has elapsed or after a predetermined number of notifications.

  In addition, the home alarm device 100 receives an emergency earthquake warning interlocking signal, a tsunami warning interlocking signal, an emergency alert interlocking signal, or a test interlocking signal as an emergency information interlocking signal including a common group code according to the second wireless communication protocol from the relay adapter 200. When receiving and decoding this and detecting valid reception, the earthquake early warning interlocking signal, tsunami warning interlocking signal or emergency alert interlocking according to the second wireless communication protocol including the group code of the interlocking group to which it belongs based on each A signal or a test interlocking signal is generated and transmitted to other residential alarm devices 100 belonging to the same group to notify and output corresponding disaster prevention information or test disaster prevention information.

  Here, when the communication paths according to the respective wireless communication protocols in FIG. 1 are arranged, the paths between the master station 12 and the relay station 22 in the town and village disaster prevention radio equipment 10, the individual receiver 20 of the loudspeaker station 16, and the residence police device 100. In addition, the path between the relay receiver 22 and the individual receiver 20 of the loudspeaker slave station 16 and the relay adapter 200 is the first wireless communication protocol path 11a, and the path between the relay adapter 200 and the home alarm device 100 of each house 24. The route is the second wireless communication protocol route 11b.

(Appearance of the home guard 100)
FIGS. 8A and 8B are explanatory views showing the appearance of a wireless interlocking smoke type house alarm used in the present invention. FIG. 8A shows a front view and FIG. 8B shows a side view. The side provided with the attachment hook 15 is the upper side.

  In FIG. 8, the housing of the residential alarm device 100 according to the present embodiment includes a cover 112 and a main body 114. A protrusion is provided at the center of the cover 112, a plurality of smoke inlets are opened around the protrusion, and a smoke detector 116 is disposed in the inside thereof, so that smoke accompanying a fire flows into the smoke detector 116. When a predetermined concentration is reached, a fire is detected by an alarm control unit described later. As the smoke detector 116, for example, a known scattered light smoke detector mechanism can be applied.

  An acoustic hole 118 is provided on the lower left side of the cover 112, and a buzzer and a speaker are incorporated behind this so that an alarm sound and a voice message can be output. An alarm stop switch 120 is provided below the cover 112.

  The alarm stop switch 120 is configured to press a built-in push switch (not shown) when a switch cover formed of a translucent member is pressed. An LED 122 that displays an alarm or the like is disposed near the push switch inside the switch cover.

  The alarm stop switch 120 also functions as an inspection switch that instructs the self-inspection of the function of the home alarm 100 from the outside. For example, when the alarm stop switch 120 is operated during the fire alarm output, the fire alarm is stopped, and when the alarm stop switch 20 is operated in a normal state, a self-inspection is performed for a predetermined function, and the result is obtained by the LED 122 or the speaker. Is notified. Here, the normal state refers to a state where at least a fire alarm is being output or a failure alarm is not being output.

  Further, a mounting hook 115 having an insertion hole in the substantially central portion is provided at the upper part on the back side of the main body 114, and a screw or the like is screwed into the wall surface of the room to be installed, and the insertion hook 115 is hooked through the screw. Thus, the residential alarm 100 can be fixedly installed on the wall surface in a so-called wall-hanging manner.

(Configuration of relay adapter 200)
FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a relay adapter and a residential alarm provided in the disaster prevention alarm cooperation system of FIG. This is an example, and the separation and integration of each function can be performed arbitrarily. Further, any part or all of each function may be executed by software (program) or may be executed by hardware.

  In FIG. 9, the relay adapter 200 will be described first. The relay adapter 200 includes a processor 202, and the processor 202 is connected to an antenna 206 for receiving a notification signal in accordance with the first wireless communication protocol transmitted from the master station 12 of the municipal disaster prevention radio equipment 10. A first wireless communication unit 204 provided with a circuit 216; a second wireless communication unit 208 provided with a second transmission circuit 218 connected to an antenna 210 for transmitting a notification signal in accordance with the second wireless communication protocol to the home alarm device 100; A power source circuit unit 212 that generates a DC power source from AC 100 V and supplies it to each unit and a standby power source unit 214 using a secondary battery such as a battery are provided.

  The first receiving circuit 216 of the first wireless communication unit 204 is compliant with, for example, the municipal digital disaster prevention radio communication system standard of 60 MHz band transmitted from the master station 12 or the relay station 22 of the municipal disaster prevention radio equipment 10 via the antenna 206. According to the first wireless communication protocol, an emergency earthquake warning report signal, tsunami warning report signal, emergency alert report signal or test report signal is received and demodulated and output to the processor 202.

  The processor 202 is provided with the function of the relay control unit 220. The relay control unit 220 inputs and decodes the earthquake early warning report signal, tsunami warning report signal, emergency alert report signal, or test report signal received and demodulated via the antenna 206 and the first receiving circuit 216 of the first wireless communication unit 204. When the effective reception is detected, an emergency according to the second wireless communication protocol conforming to the standard of a specific low-power wireless station in the 400 MHz band, for example, having the same format configuration as the interlocking signal shown in FIG. An earthquake early warning interlocking signal, a tsunami warning interlocking signal, an emergency alert interlocking signal or a test interlocking signal is generated and output to the second wireless communication unit 208.

  Here, the group code included in the interlocking signal to be transmitted from the relay adapter 200 according to the second wireless communication protocol is set to a common group code that enables effective reception by all residential alarms, so-called no group designation. It is different from the interlocking signal transmitted / received between the mortgages that set the unique group code in that the interlocking signal is used.

  The second transmission circuit 218 of the second wireless communication unit 208 receives the emergency earthquake warning interlocking signal, the tsunami warning interlocking signal, the emergency alert interlocking signal, or the test interlocking signal input from the processor 202 via the antenna 210 according to the second wireless communication protocol. It transmits to the house alarm device 100. The transmission power from the antenna 210 by the second transmission circuit 216 is, for example, 1 W or less so that the radio wave can sufficiently reach the home alarm device 100 installed in the houses in the entire service area under the jurisdiction of the relay adapter 200 installed outdoors. A relatively large transmission power is set. Since the transmission power of 1W or less is out of the standard specification of a specific low-power radio station in the 400MHz band, which has a transmission power of 10mW or less or 1mW or less, it is necessary to apply for a license for a radio station for its installation. Measures such as are necessary.

(Configuration of the home alarm 100)
Next, the house alarm device 100 of FIG. 8 will be described. The home alarm device 100 includes a processor 124 known as a one-chip CPU, and a second wireless communication unit 130, a memory 132, and the like that perform transmission and reception of interlocking signals in accordance with a predetermined second wireless communication protocol. A sensor unit 134, a notification unit 136, an operation unit 138, and a battery power supply 140 are provided, and the battery power supply 140 supplies power to necessary units.

  The second wireless communication unit 130 includes a second transmission circuit 146 and a second reception circuit 148 to which an antenna 131 is connected. The second wireless communication unit 130 is connected to the other residential alarm 100-2 via the antenna 131 in accordance with, for example, a second wireless communication protocol compliant with the standard of a specific low power wireless station in the 400 MHz band. It transmits and receives various interlocking signals such as recovery, alarm stop, and failure, and receives an earthquake early warning interlocking signal, a tsunami alarm interlocking signal, an emergency alert interlocking signal, or a test interlocking signal transmitted from the relay adapter 200 installed outdoors.

  The transmission of the interlocking signal by the second wireless communication protocol in the second transmission circuit 146 of the second wireless communication unit 130 is performed by performing an operation of transmitting the interlocking signal for a predetermined time T1, for example, T1 = 3 seconds, for a predetermined time T2, for example, T2. For example, four times with a pause of 2 seconds. This T1 = 3-second transmission and T = 2-second pause comply with the standard of a specific low-power radio station. Further, in the transmission operation of T1 = 3 seconds, for example, 2.8 seconds from the beginning of the transmission operation is a dummy signal transmission, and the interlocking signal is repeatedly transmitted in the remaining 0.2 seconds. The transmission operation of the second transmission circuit 146 is the same for the second transmission circuit 218 provided in the relay adapter 200.

  In addition, reception by the second wireless communication protocol in the second reception circuit 148 of the second wireless communication unit 130 intermittently receives interlocking signals from other residential alarm devices belonging to the same group as the residential alarm device 100 and the relay adapter 200. . In the intermittent reception, the reception operation is repeated for a predetermined period T3, for example, every T3 = 7 seconds, for a receivable time T4, for example, T4 = 100 milliseconds, and during the receivable time T4, the transmission dummy signal is carrier sensed. When the signal is detected, the reception is switched to continuous reception for a predetermined time and the interlocking signal following the dummy signal is received.

  Here, the signal received by the second wireless communication unit 130 is decoded by the alarm control unit 160 provided in the processor 124. Hereinafter, the process up to this decoding may be referred to as reception. In particular, when the signal is determined to be valid as a result of decoding, it is called effective reception. “Detecting reception” in the claims means “effective reception” or “detecting effective reception”.

  Further, in the second wireless communication protocol of the second wireless communication unit 130, the emergency information without the group designation from the relay adapter 200 when the resident guard 100 itself detects a fire or an event other than a fire and transmits an interlocking signal. When an interlocking signal or a test interlocking signal is received, an emergency information interlocking signal or a test interlocking signal designated by the group based on this signal is generated and transmitted to another housing police, it belongs to the same group as the housing guard 100, It is monitored whether or not an acknowledgment signal (hereinafter referred to as “ACK signal”) indicating that the interlocking signal has been normally received is effectively received from another resident alarm device that has received.

  In the case where an ACK signal that is not received is detected among other mortgages, the ward 100 transmits a relay request presence interlock signal to the other arriving units that have received the ACK signal, and there is a relay request. A relay signal with a relay request is relay-transmitted from the home alarm device that has received the interlock signal to the home alarm device that has not yet responded to the AKC signal. An ACK signal that has not received an AKC signal that has received a relay signal with a relay request returns an ACK signal in response to the relay signal with a relay request. Then, it is received by the interlocking home security device 100. Accordingly, if there is a residence guard that does not receive the ACK signal, it is determined as a communication failure or the like, and a predetermined notification process, a linkage process, a linkage process described later, and the like are performed.

  The above-described relay function is useful when three or more home alarm devices are installed in one interlocking group, for example, the house 24. In the example of FIG. 1, since only two residence guards 100 are installed in the house 24, the residence guard 100 receives an ACK signal (reply) from another residence guard in response to the interlocking signal transmitted by itself. If not, it is determined that there is a communication failure or the like, and a predetermined notification process or a cooperation process described later is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the interlock signal 150 transmitted and received by the second wireless communication unit 130 of the second wireless communication unit 130 is configured as a format including a serial number 152, a transmission source identification code 154, a group code 155, and an event code 156. ing. The serial number 152 is a code that is generated independently for each residential alarm, and is a serial number that indicates the generation order or transmission order of the interlocking signal 150. Based on this, management such as prohibition of re-relay can be performed. The transmission source identification code 154 is, for example, a serial number of a residential police device that identifies each residential security device, and the group code 155 is linked to each other within the group of residential security devices 100 installed in the house 24 as shown in FIG. It is the code | symbol for comprising the interlocking group to perform.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the interlocking signal according to the second wireless communication protocol transmitted from the relay adapter 200 can be effectively received by all the residential alarm devices 100 installed in the houses 24 in the target area. Since it is necessary, a common group code common to all groups is set as the group code 155. This common group code is a code meaning that there is no group designation because it is effectively received by all the residential alarm devices 100 constituting different interlocking groups.

The event code 156 is a code representing the content of an event such as a fire. In the present embodiment, a 4-bit code is used. For example, 0001 = fire 0010 = ACK
0011 = Alarm stop 0100 = Recovery 0101 = Sensor failure 0110 = Low battery failure.

  Note that the above-described code indicating “relay request is present” is omitted here, but it can be added to the event code by increasing the number of bits.

Further, in the present embodiment, an emergency earthquake warning report signal, a tsunami warning report signal and a tsunami warning report signal transmitted from the master station 12 of the municipal disaster prevention radio equipment 10 received through the second radio communication unit 130 via the protocol conversion of the relay adapter 200, and As an event code corresponding to the interlocking signal based on the emergency alert notification signal, that is, the earthquake early warning interlocking signal, the tsunami warning interlocking signal, the emergency alert interlocking signal, and the test interlocking signal,
0111 = Earthquake Early Warning 1000 = Tsunami Warning 1001 = Emergency Warning 1010 = Adding a test.

  It should be noted that both the identification code indicating the source (interlocking source) residence guard and the identification code of the residence policer performing the relay are added to the interlocking signal relayed by the residence guard. Further, an identification code for designating a transmission destination may be added.

  The community FM broadcasting station 400 FM-modulates and transmits an emergency information notification signal including, for example, an emergency earthquake warning, a large tsunami warning or a tsunami warning broadcast content and an information number distributed from the head end 402.

  A relay adapter 500 is installed outdoors in the target area of the community FM broadcast station 400, and one or more residential alarms 100 are installed in a house 24 that can receive a signal relayed from the relay adapter 500. Yes. Since the relay adapter 500 requires an AC power supply, for example, as in the embodiment of FIG. 1, when the municipal disaster prevention radio equipment 10 is provided, it is installed in the vicinity of the loudspeaker station 16, for example, a support column. By using the AC power supply of the slave station 16 as it is, the equipment configuration is simplified.

  When the relay adapter 500 receives the emergency information notification signal transmitted from the community FM broadcasting station 400, the relay adapter 500 decodes the information number included in the emergency information notification signal, and sets the second wireless communication protocol on the side of the mortgage alarm 100 corresponding to the information number. According to the emergency information interlocking signal, that is, an emergency earthquake warning interlocking signal, a large tsunami warning interlocking signal or a tsunami warning interlocking signal, it is transmitted to the home guard 100, and an emergency earthquake early warning is transmitted from the home guard 100 by a predetermined warning voice message. A large tsunami warning or tsunami warning is output.

  Here, the group code included in the interlocking signal transmitted from the relay adapter 500 according to the second wireless communication protocol is set to a common group code that enables effective reception by all the residential alarms 100, so-called no group designation. The interlock signal is used.

  The voice message output from the home alarm 100 is a combination of alarm sound and audio broadcast. For example, “Earth earthquake early warning” is “Kyun Kyun Great Earthquake”, and for Great Tsunami Warning, “Woo Woo Great Tsunami Warning” `` Please evacuate to the hill if you are near the coast '', and in the case of a tsunami warning, for example, `` Please evacuate to the hill if the tsunami warning was announced '' .

  The municipal disaster prevention operation console 406 receives information other than that set in the headend 402 for automatic start distribution by the national instantaneous alarm system receiver 404, and the municipal staff in charge performs a distribution instruction operation as necessary. And a delivery instruction signal is output to the head end 402. The head end 402 receiving this distribution instruction signal distributes the emergency information notification signal including the broadcast content and information number received from the national instantaneous warning system receiver 404 to the community FM broadcast station 400 at that time, and puts it on the FM radio wave. Send it.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the emergency information receiving device 15 is provided for the municipal disaster prevention operation console 406 in order to perform an automatic test of the disaster prevention alarm cooperation system. The emergency information receiver 15 reproduces and outputs a broadcast signal when it detects reception of an emergency warning broadcast (EWS) or an emergency earthquake warning (EEW), which is an emergency information broadcast, and also outputs a test signal for the emergency warning broadcast (EWS). When reception is detected, a test report signal is automatically output.

  Emergency warning broadcasting (EWS) is an alarm that is issued when a disaster such as an earthquake occurs or when a tsunami warning is announced, and it automatically switches on a standby TV or radio receiver. In order to confirm the operation of the receiver, a test signal is transmitted once a month, for example, at a predetermined time, for example, at noon on the first day of every month. Test the disaster prevention alarm linkage system by outputting a test report signal.

  For example, in the case of NHK (R), it receives emergency information because it transmits only the end signal without transmitting the first type start signal or the second type start signal as a test signal at noon on the first day of every month. The device 15 outputs a test report signal based on the reception of only the end signal. The test report signal output from the emergency alert receiver 15 is transmitted to the head end 402 via the municipal disaster prevention console 406, and the test report signal. , The head end 402 generates a test report signal including a predetermined information number indicating a system test and test broadcast contents, distributes the test report signal to the community FM broadcast station 400, and transmits the test report signal after FM modulation.

  The test report signal transmitted from the community FM broadcasting station 400 is received by the relay adapter 500. The relay adapter 500 recognizes the system test by decoding the information number included in the received test report signal, and It converts into the test interlocking signal according to the 2nd wireless communication protocol, and transmits to the home guard 100, and makes the test disaster prevention information output from the home guard 100 by a predetermined voice message.

  Here, the group code included in the test interlocking signal that is transmitted from the relay adapter 500 according to the second wireless communication protocol is set to a common group code that enables effective reception by all residential alarms, so-called no group designation. The interlock signal is used.

  The voice message of the test disaster prevention information output from the home guard 100 is a combination of an alarm sound and a voice broadcast. For example, “Peep emergency warning test will be issued”.

  In addition, when the home alarm device 100 receives the test interlock signal from the relay adapter 500, the home alarm device 100 transmits a test interlock signal in which the group code to which the home alarm device 100 belongs is set to the other home alarm devices 100 arranged in the same house, The interlocking test which outputs test disaster prevention information is also performed from the other residential alarm devices 100 belonging to the same group.

  In the national instantaneous warning system (J-ALERT), test broadcasts and training broadcasts are performed as necessary, but test broadcasts are regularly performed like emergency warning broadcasts (EWS). Since it is not currently available, it cannot be used for periodic system tests. However, when the national instantaneous warning system (J-ALERT) periodically conducts test broadcasting, the test received by the national instantaneous alarm system receiver 404. A similar system automatic test may be performed by discriminating the broadcast information number at the head end 402. In this case, the emergency alert receiver 15 becomes unnecessary.

  Further, if necessary, it is also possible to output a test report signal to the head end 402 by a test operation by the municipal disaster prevention operation console 406 to perform a system automatic test.
