Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[System configuration]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a security system according to the present embodiment.

As shown in the figure, this security system includes a security device 100, a user terminal 200, and a center server 300 of a security center.

The security device 100 is installed in a building to be guarded, such as a house or a business establishment. The abnormality of the security target is monitored, and the detected abnormality is reported to the security center. Although the details will be described later, the security device 100 guards the security target by a plurality of security modes (for example, out-of-home security mode, home security mode, partial set mode, home mode, etc.).

The user terminal 200 is a terminal of a resident of the house to be guarded, and is a portable computer such as a smartphone, a mobile phone, or a tablet PC (Personal Computer), for example, LTE (Long Term Evolution), 3G, Wi. -Can be connected to mobile networks such as Fi. When a plurality of users are resident or occupying a security target building, there may be a plurality of user terminals 200 for each security target.

The user terminal 200 can switch and operate the security mode from a remote area to be guarded by communicating with the security device 100. The security mode switching operation is input on the application (hereinafter, referred to as "security application") that provides security mode information and other security information installed in the user terminal 200.

The security device 100 also has an operation unit (operation panel, etc.) installed on a wall surface or the like in the building to be guarded, and if the user is present in the building, the operation unit also has the operation unit. The security mode can be switched. Depending on the operation target by the operation unit, for example, an authentication process for inserting an authentication card assigned to each user into the operation unit may be required. In the present embodiment, the operation unit may be referred to as a "main unit operation unit" with respect to the user terminal 200 capable of remote control.

The center server 300 is a server installed in a security center operated by a security company, and can communicate with the security device 100 and the user terminal 200 via the Internet. A controller is stationed at the security center, and when an abnormality report is received from the security device 100, necessary measures such as dispatching a security guard to the security target of the security device 100 are taken.

Further, the center server 300 stores information such as the location of the building to be guarded, information about the user of the security contract partner who resides or resides in the building, and the like. For example, the center server 300 pairs the user terminal 200 of each user who resides or moves into the security target building with the security device 100, and stores information for grouping them for each security target for authentication. .. Further, the center server 300 also stores the paired and grouped information of the authentication card in the same manner as the user terminal 200.

The switching of the security mode is executed in the flow as shown in (1) to (8) of the figure. That is, (1) when the user terminal 200 requests the center server 300 to switch the security mode via the mobile network, (2) the center server 300 authenticates the user terminal 200 (the group to which the user terminal 200 belongs) and passes the authentication. In this case, by transferring the security mode switching request to the security device 100, (3) the security device 100 is requested to switch the security mode. Then, (4) the security device 100 switches the security mode in response to the security mode switching request, and (5) notifies the center server 300 of the completion of the switching of the security mode.

Then, (6) the center server 300 receives the notification and pushes the mode switching completion to the API for push notification on the Internet (for example, Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) or Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)). Request to do. (7) In response to the request, the API push-notifies the user terminal 200 of the completion of the mode switching, and (8) the user terminal 200 receives the push notification and displays the completion of the mode switching on the display unit.

As described above, in the security mode switching process, the center server 300 only mediates (and authenticates) the communication between the security device 100 and the user terminal 200. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the center is actually the center. The communication mediated by the server 300 may also be described as communication between the security device 100 and the user terminal 200 by intentionally omitting the mediated processing.

In the present embodiment, the user terminal 200 can receive a remote switching operation of the security mode by the security application, and the security mode switching operation and the mode switching by the security device 100 according to the mode switching operation. The result can be displayed as a message on the chat screen. The details of the display process will be described later.

[Security device configuration]
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the security device 100. As shown in the figure, the security device 100 is composed of a main device 101, various sensors 10 and 12, and the like.

The intrusion monitoring sensor 10 detects an intruder, such as a sensor that detects the opening and closing of doors and windows, a sensor that detects heat generated by the human body as a heat source, and a sensor that detects that infrared rays are blocked by the human body. It is a sensor for. This intrusion monitoring sensor is roughly classified into those installed in the outer peripheral area of the building to be guarded and those installed in other areas. Further, the intrusion monitoring sensors installed in the outer peripheral area of the building are classified into those installed in the entrance / exit area and those installed in other areas. The fire sensor 12 is a sensor that detects heat and smoke associated with the occurrence of a fire.

The main device 101 includes a control unit 110, a notification unit 130, a notification unit 140, a display unit 150, an operation unit 160, and a communication interface (I / F) 170.

When an abnormality occurs, the reporting unit 130 notifies a security center (not shown) via a communication line. The notification unit 140 generates various notification sounds. The display unit 150 is composed of an LED (Light Emitting Diode), a liquid crystal display, and the like, and performs various displays on and outside the main device, respectively.

The communication I / F 170 is an interface for communicating with various sensors by wire or wirelessly. The communication I / F 170 also functions as an interface for wireless communication with the user terminal 200 as a remote control unit for switching the security mode.

The operation unit 160 is composed of, for example, an operation button, a touch panel, or the like, and accepts a user operation such as the above-mentioned security mode switching operation. When the operation unit 160 is a touch panel, the operation unit 160 can be integrated with the display unit 150.

Further, the operation unit 160 has an emergency notification button that is operated when the user is attacked by an intruder or feels an abnormality in the body, and cancels the abnormality when the user mistakenly causes the abnormality. It also has buttons that are used in addition to the security mode switching operation, such as the cancel operation button of.

The control unit 110 is composed of a processor, a memory, and the like, and is a part that controls the operation of the security device. Functionally, the mode storage means 112, the monitoring control information storage means 114, the intrusion monitoring sensor detection processing means 116, and the like. The mode setting means 118 and the like are realized. The mode storage means 112 stores each security mode together with their identification information, and stores information about the currently set security mode among them by, for example, a flag. The monitoring control information storage means 114 stores the installation area, address code, etc. of various sensors, and stores the correspondence between the security mode and the various sensors in the monitoring state. When an intrusion monitoring sensor detects an intrusion monitoring sensor, the intrusion monitoring sensor detection processing means 116 has an abnormality based on the current security mode stored in the mode storage means 112 and the contents stored in the monitoring control information storage means 114. It executes a process of making a judgment and outputting an abnormal signal, a process of determining a notification sound and outputting it, and the like. The mode setting means 118 executes the security mode setting (switching) process based on the mode switching operation from the user by the operation unit 160 and the user terminal 200. When the security mode is changed, the mode setting means 118 stores the security mode of the switching destination in the mode storage means 112 as the current security mode.

Although not shown, the main device 101 sets a group of a plurality of user terminals 200 paired with the security device 100 and set as a group, the authentication card, and identification information (user name, user ID, etc.) of each of the users. I also remember the information.

[Type of security mode]
Here, the types of security modes included in the security device 100 will be described. In the present embodiment, the security device 100 has an out-of-home security mode, a home security mode, a partial set mode, and a security release (at home) mode as security modes.

Monitoring and emergency notification by the fire sensor 12 are performed regardless of the security mode. The occurrence of an abnormality due to these is notified by another alarm sound. On the other hand, the monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 differs depending on the security mode.

The outing alert mode is a mode set when all the users of the building to be guarded leave (go out) from the guarded target. In this mode, the monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 is performed by all the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 installed in the security target.

The home alert mode is a mode used when it is desired to monitor intrusion from the outside when there is a user in the security target, and it is particularly used at bedtime. In this mode, the monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 is performed only by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 installed in the outer peripheral area of the building such as a window, the entrance door, and the garden among all the intrusion monitoring sensors 10.

The partial set mode is a mode used when the security target is partially warned, for example, when the user is only on the first floor of the security target building and wants to monitor the second floor. In this mode, the monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 is performed only by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 existing in the guarded portion.

The alert release mode is a mode used when the user spends time at home with windows or the like open. In this mode, monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 is not performed.

[Mobile device configuration]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the user terminal 200. As shown in the figure, the user terminal 200 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 21, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 22, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 23, an input / output interface 25, and a bus 24 that connects them to each other. To be equipped.

The CPU 21 appropriately accesses the RAM 23 and the like as necessary, and controls the entire block of the user terminal 200 in an integrated manner while performing various arithmetic processes. The ROM 22 is a non-volatile memory in which firmware such as an OS, a program, and various parameters to be executed by the CPU 21 is fixedly stored. The RAM 23 is used as a work area of the CPU 21, and temporarily holds an OS, various applications being executed, and various data being processed.

A display unit 26, an operation reception unit 27, a storage unit 28, a communication unit 29, and the like are connected to the input / output interface 25.

The display unit 26 is a display device using, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an OELD (Organic ElectroLuminescence Display), a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), or the like.

The operation reception unit 27 is, for example, a touch panel, buttons, keys, or other input device. When the operation reception unit 27 is a touch panel, the touch panel can be integrated with the display unit 26.

The storage unit 28 is, for example, a non-volatile memory such as a flash memory (SSD; Solid State Drive), other solid-state memory, or an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The OS, various applications, and various data are stored in the storage unit 28.

In particular, in the present embodiment, the storage unit 28 stores the security application and other programs for the user terminal 200 to execute the security mode switching process in conjunction with the security device 100. The security application also includes data (text information and image information) necessary for displaying an operation screen that accepts a security mode switching operation, a chat screen that displays the switching result, and the like. Then, the CPU 21 functions as a display control means for controlling the switching process between the operation screen and the chat screen and the message display process, and a message specifying means for specifying the message to be displayed.

The communication unit 29 is various modules for wireless communication such as LTE and Wi-Fi, and is responsible for communication processing between the security device 100 and the center server 300 via the mobile network and the Internet.

[Message information]
Next, the message information stored in the user terminal 200 will be described.

In the present embodiment, the user terminal 200 displays a message indicating the mode switching operation by the user and a message indicating the mode switching result by the security device 100 in response to the mode switching operation on the chat screen displayed by the security application. It can be displayed. Hereinafter, the message indicating the mode switching operation by the user is referred to as a "mode operation message", and the message indicating the mode switching result by the security device 100 is referred to as a "mode switching message".

The user terminal 200 can display different messages depending on the operator of the mode switching operation and the security mode after switching, and for that purpose, the correspondence between them is stored in the storage unit 28 as a table. ..

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a table relating to the mode operation message information stored in the user terminal 200.

As shown in the figure, in the table, the message content is stored in association with the operator (user identification information) and the security mode after switching (mode identification information). However, since the mode operation message is a message displayed on the user terminal 200 of the user when the operator of the mode switching operation is the user himself / herself, only the user name of the user is stored as the operator.

As the security mode information after switching, the outing warning mode, the warning release (at home) mode, the home warning mode, and the partial set mode are stored, and as the mode operation message corresponding to them, "going out warning mode operation", "Alert release mode operation", "Home alert mode operation" and "Partial set operation" are stored. Information (block number or block name) indicating the set warning block is also added to the mode operation message corresponding to the partial set mode.

As described above, the user can input the remote control by the user terminal 200 and the operation for the main body operation unit 160 of the security device 100 as the security mode switching operation. The mode operation message is displayed on the user terminal 200 of the user as operation information by the user himself / herself even when the user himself / herself performs a mode switching operation on the main body operation unit 160 using the authentication card.

However, in the case of the operation by the main body operation unit 160, since the user can recognize that his / her own operation has been input by the output of the notification sound from the notification unit 140, the mode operation message is not displayed on the chat screen. May be good.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a table relating to the mode switching message information stored in the user terminal 200.

As shown in the figure, the message content is also stored in the table in association with the operator (user identification information) and the security mode after switching (mode identification information).

As the operator information, the user name (s) of the family member (or cohabitant) set with the person and the user name of the person are stored. The operator information is associated with the security mode information of the out-of-office warning mode, the warning release (at home) mode, the home warning mode, and the partial set mode, respectively, when the operator is a family member. Mode switching message information with different contents is associated with each other depending on the person himself / herself.

That is, when the operator is a family member, the mode switching messages corresponding to the above-mentioned out-of-court warning mode, alert release (at-home) mode, home-based alert mode, and partial set mode are "changed to out-of-home alert mode", respectively. , "Changed to alert release mode", "Changed to home alert mode", "Changed to partial set (+ alert block information)", and simply the fact of switching to each mode is direct This is a message to inform.

On the other hand, when the operator is the user himself / herself, the mode switching messages corresponding to the above-mentioned out-of-office warning mode, warning release (at home) mode, home warning mode, and partial set mode are "Please leave me alone" and "Absence", respectively. "Welcome back", "Please spend with peace of mind", "Please spend with peace of mind (+ security block information)", and the security device 100 (security system) is the user's mode switching operation (or going out, returning home, etc.) It is a message that tells the user that he / she has recognized the action).

Further, even if the operator is the same, the operator information is set so as to be able to distinguish between the case where the main body operation unit 160 is used and the case where the operation screen of the user terminal 200 is used. For example, the operator information when the user A operates the main body operation unit 160 is set to "A", and the operator information when the user A operates his / her own user terminal 200 is set to "A (smartphone)". May be good.

Regarding the security mode switching operation input on the main unit operation unit 160 without using the above authentication card, since it is not possible to determine whether the operator is the person himself / herself or his / her family, the content of the corresponding mode switching message Is the same as the message when the operator is a family member, and the operator is set as a "system".

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the table stored in the user terminal 200 is determined by whether the operator is the person himself / herself or his / her family, which is the security mode after switching, and further by the mode switching operation. Different messages are associated with each other depending on the combination of the presence or the mode switching result.

[Operation screen and chat screen]
As described above, in the present embodiment, the security application of the user terminal 200 has an operation screen that accepts the switching operation of the security mode from the user, and a message regarding the security mode that can be switched based on the switching operation (the mode operation message and the above mode operation message). The chat screen, which displays the mode switching message) interactively in chronological order, is displayed in a switchable manner.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the above operation screen. As shown in the figure, the operation screen 30 is configured as, for example, a user interface using a touch panel, and includes an operation menu button 31, a setting menu button 32, an outing warning mode setting button 33, and a warning release mode setting button 34. It has a home alert mode setting button 35 and a partial set mode setting button 36. Each button is displayed on the screen as a button icon, and when the user taps each button icon area, it is recognized as a selection operation of each button.

The operation menu button 31 is provided in common between the operation screen 30 and the chat screen, for example, at the bottom of the screen, and is a button for switching between the operation screen 30 and the chat screen. The setting menu button 32 is a button used when changing various settings related to user information and the like.

The outing alert mode setting button 33, the alert release mode setting button 34, the home alert mode setting button 35, and the partial set mode setting button 36 respectively change the security mode from the current security mode to the outing alert mode, alert release mode, and home. This button accepts operations for switching to the alert mode and the partial set mode. As will be described later, when these buttons are operated by the user, the user terminal 200 transmits a switching request signal to the security device 100 to switch to the corresponding security mode.

The operation screen 30 also has a plurality of partial set block selection buttons 37. The partial set block selection button 37 is a button for selecting a warning block to be a partial set target by the partial set mode setting button 36. In the example of the figure, there are five warning blocks: "entrance door", "dining kitchen", "Japanese-style room", "children's room on the second floor", and "master bedroom on the second floor". Not limited to this, the user can change the warning block for the partial set or the number thereof by operating the setting menu button 32. When any of these partial set block selection buttons 37 is selected by the user and the partial set mode setting button 36 is operated, the partial set mode for which the selected alert block is the alert target is entered. A switching request signal is transmitted.

Further, at the upper part of the operation screen 30, a security mode display icon 38 is provided as an icon common to the operation screen 30 and the chat screen. The security mode display icon 38 indicates the current security mode, and when the security mode is switched by each of the mode setting buttons, the display of the security mode display icon 38 is also switched accordingly. In the example of the figure, an example is shown when the current security mode is the security release (at home) mode.

The operation screen 30 is switched to the chat screen by operating the operation menu button 31, and is also switched to the chat screen by, for example, operating the close button provided in the upper right portion.

When starting the security application or switching to the operation screen 30, a pop-up prompting the user to enter the passcode for user authentication is displayed, and the user can correctly enter the passcode to set each mode setting button. The operation of is valid. As the user authentication method, biometric authentication such as a fingerprint can be used instead of the passcode. Further, the user authentication may be performed when each mode setting button is pressed on the operation screen 30.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the chat screen. As shown in the figure, the chat screen 40 has an operation menu button 31, a setting menu button 32, a security mode display icon 38, a mode operation message 41, and a mode switching message 42, which are provided in common with the operation screen 30. Has a message display area that distinguishes between different areas and displays them interactively in chronological order.

In the message display area, for example, the mode operation message 41 is displayed in the right area, and the mode switching message 42 is displayed in the left area. Further, the message display area has a time axis extending from the upper part to the lower part, and the older (earlier) message is displayed at the upper part, and the newer (later received time) message is displayed at the lower part. In addition, the latest message is always additionally displayed at the bottom, and among the messages before that, the message that does not fit in the display range of the message display area can be displayed by the user flicking or swiping the message display area, for example, in the vertical direction. It can be displayed by scrolling to the bottom.

Each mode operation message 41 and each mode switching message 42 have an operator information, an operation tool, and a reception time (operation time) at adjacent positions (for example, above the message body) in addition to the message body surrounded by a rectangular frame. Contains information. As described above, it is always the user himself / herself that is displayed as the operator information in the mode operation message 41. On the other hand, what is displayed as an operator in the mode switching message 42 is the system (security device 100) in the mode switching message 42 indicating the operation result of the user himself / herself, and in the mode switching message 42 indicating the operation result of the family. The user name of the family. The operation tool information is information for displaying information (“smartphone”) indicating that when the user performs a switching operation on the user terminal 200. Information to that effect (for example, the "main body") may be displayed even when the switching operation is performed by the security device 100. Further, the display of the operation tool may be omitted.

In the example of the figure, the mode operation messages 41a and 41b and the mode switching messages 42a and 42c are interactively displayed according to the outing warning mode operation by the user terminal 200 of the user himself / herself (mother) of the user terminal 200, respectively. In addition, a mode switching message 42b is displayed according to the alert release mode operation by the main body operation unit 160 of the user's own family (Taro-kun).

Further, in the security application, it is possible to exchange normal messages between the user himself and the family members set as a group, and these messages are the normal message 43a and the mode switching message 42 in addition to the mode operation message 41 and the mode switching message 42. It is displayed interactively as 43b. Although not shown in the figure, when the message display area is double-tapped, for example, a character input frame for the user to compose a message and a character selection area such as a keyboard are displayed at the bottom.

In addition, notification information other than the switching of the security mode by the security device 100 can also be displayed in the same area as the mode switching message 42.

[Operation of security system]
Next, the operation of the security system configured as described above will be described. The operation is executed by the cooperation between the hardware such as the CPU and the communication unit of the security device 100 and the user terminal 200, and the software stored in the storage unit. In the following description, for convenience, the control unit 110 of the security device 100 and the security application of the user terminal 200 or the CPU 21 are the operating subjects. In the following, the description of the exchange of normal messages between the user of the user terminal 200 and his / her family will be omitted.

FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of the security mode switching process in the security system.

As shown in the figure, first, the CPU 21 of the user terminal 200A activates the security application based on the operation of the user (person) (step 81). When the security application is started, the chat screen 40 is displayed as the main screen (step 82). At this time, the CPU 21 inquires at the center server 300 and acquires an unacquired message. Further, if there is a push notification message when the security application is not operating, the CPU 21 updates the chat screen 40 to the latest state and displays the message including the message.

Subsequently, the security application determines whether or not the operation menu button 31 has been operated on the chat screen 40 (step 83).

When it is determined that the operation menu button 31 is pressed (Yes), the security application switches the chat screen 40 to the operation screen 30 and displays it (step 84).

Subsequently, the security application determines whether or not the mode switching operation has been input by the mode setting buttons on the operation screen 30 (step 85).

When it is determined that the mode switching operation has been input (Yes), the security application transmits a security mode switching request signal corresponding to the mode switching operation to the security device 100 (step 86). The switching request signal includes user identification information of a user (principal) who is an operator of the user terminal 200 to be operated, and mode identification information indicating a security mode of the switching destination.

In addition, the security application switches the operation screen to the chat screen according to the mode switching operation and displays it, and also supports the security mode of the switching destination based on the mode switching operation information and the mode identification information of the security mode of the switching destination. The mode operation message is specified from the table and additionally displayed as the latest message on the chat screen 40 (step 87).

The control unit 110 of the security device 100 that has received the switching request signal switches the current security mode to the security mode corresponding to the mode identification information included in the switching request signal (step 88).

Subsequently, the control unit 110 generates a mode switching signal including the mode identification information for identifying the security mode after the switching and the user identification information for identifying the operator included in the switching request signal (step 89). , The signal is simultaneously transmitted to the user terminal 200A of the transmission source of the switching request signal and the user terminals 200B of all the family users grouped with the user who is the operator (step 90).

The security application of the user terminal 200A of the user himself / herself who has received the mode switching signal identifies the security mode and the operator after switching from the mode identification information and the user identification information included in the mode switching signal (step 91). The mode switching message corresponding to the specified security mode is specified from the above table (step 93), and is additionally displayed as the latest message on the chat screen 40 (step 95).

Similarly, the security application of the family user terminal 200B that has received the mode switching signal also identifies the security mode and the operator after switching from the mode switching signal (step 92), and the mode corresponding to the specified security mode. The switching message is specified from the table (step 94) and additionally displayed as the latest message on the chat screen 40 (step 96).

Although not shown, even when a mode switching operation is performed on the main body operation unit 160 of the security device 100, the security device 100 provides user identification information indicating an operator and mode identification information indicating a security mode after switching. The mode switching signal including the mode switching signal is transmitted to all the user terminals 200 set in the group. However, depending on the security mode before and after the switching, it is possible to switch the security mode without requiring authentication by the above authentication card. In that case, the user identification information indicating the above operator is regarded as "system". To.

Further, although not shown, if the operation menu button 31 is operated again without performing the mode switching operation while the operation screen 30 is displayed, the security application switches from the operation screen 30 to the chat screen 40. If a mode switching signal is received by the family mode switching operation while the chat screen 40 is displayed, the latest message is additionally displayed on the chat screen, and the mode switching by the family mode switching operation is displayed while the operation screen 30 is displayed. When the signal is received, the latest message is additionally displayed after switching from the operation screen 30 to the chat screen 40.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a transition example of a screen displayed on the user terminal 200 of the operator when an operation for switching the security mode to the out-of-home security mode is input.

FIG. A shows an example of a screen when the security application is started. At the first activation, for example, a notification message 44 from the security device 100 is displayed as an initial message on the chat screen 40. However, if the user has performed a mode switching operation in the past using the security application, the mode operation message 41 and the mode switching message 42 at the time of the mode switching operation are displayed as the latest messages at the next startup. It has become.

From this state, as shown in FIG. B, when the user presses the operation menu button 31 to display the operation screen 30, for example, presses the outing warning mode setting button 33, the operation screen 30 is switched to the chat screen 40. As shown in FIG. C, the mode operation message 41 (“outing warning mode operation”) corresponding to the operation is the latest message together with the operator information (user himself / herself), the operation tool (smartphone), and the reception time information. It is additionally displayed.

Then, when the switching request signal is transmitted from the user terminal 200 to the security device 100 by the above operation, the security mode is switched to the outing warning mode. Then, when the corresponding mode switching signal is received from the security device 100, as shown in FIG. D, the mode switching message 42 "Please leave me away" is displayed in response to the above mode switching signal. ..

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a transition example of a screen displayed on the user terminal 200 of the operator when an operation for switching the security mode to the partial set mode is input.

As shown in FIG. A, the user displays the operation screen 30 by the operation menu button 31, and among the plurality of partial set block selection buttons 37, the Japanese-style room (3), the second-floor children's room (4), and the second-floor main It is assumed that three bedrooms (5) are selected and the partial set mode setting button 36 is pressed.

Then, the operation screen 30 is switched to the chat screen 40, and as shown in FIG. B, the mode operation message 41 (“partial set operation 3, 4, 5”) corresponding to the operation is the operator information (user himself / herself). , Operation tool (smartphone), and reception time information are additionally displayed as the latest message.

Then, when the switching request signal is transmitted from the user terminal 200 to the security device 100 by the above operation, the security mode is switched to the partial set mode in which the blocks 3 to 5 are the warning blocks. Then, when the mode switching signal corresponding to the mode switching signal is received from the security device 100, as shown in FIG. A mode switching message 42 including warning block information in which blocks are highlighted and other warning blocks are grayed out, for example, is displayed.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a chat screen during the security mode switching operation in comparison with different user terminals 200. FIG. A is a screen example of the user terminal 200 having the user name “Hanako”, and FIG. B is a screen example of the user terminal 200 having the user name “Kotaro”.

As shown in FIG. 1 (1), when the mode switching operation is input to the main body operation unit 160 without the authentication card, the operator cannot be identified, so that the mode switching message 42 on both user terminals is the same. ..

As shown in FIG. 2 (2), when Hanako inputs a mode switching operation on the main body operation unit 160, the corresponding mode operation message 41 is displayed only on Hanako's user terminal 200. As the mode switching message 42 indicating the switching result, as described in the table shown in FIG. 5, a message in which the operator information and the message content are different between the Hanako user terminal 200 and the Kotaro user terminal 200 is displayed. Is displayed.

As shown in FIGS. (3) and (4), even when Kotaro and Hanako input a mode switching operation on the operation screen 30 of their own user terminal 200, as a mode switching message indicating the switching result, According to the above table, messages having different operator information and message contents are displayed on both terminals.

As shown in Fig. (5), when a family member (daddy) who is neither Hanako nor Kotaro inputs the switching operation to the partial set mode, and as shown in Fig. (6), the part without the authentication card. When the set mode operation is input, the same mode switching message 42 is displayed on the user terminals 200 of Hanako and Kotaro in the same manner as in (1) above.

[Summary]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the above security system, when the user terminal receives a security mode switching operation on the operation screen 30, the operation screen 30 is displayed as a chat screen. In order to switch to 40 and continuously display the mode operation message 41 and the mode switching message 42 corresponding to the mode switching operation on the chat screen 40 as the latest message, the remote security mode switching operation by the user and the switching are performed. By associating with the switching result of the security mode by the security device 100 based on the operation, the user can easily recognize the switching result together with the history of the past switching result.

Further, the user terminal 200 stores different mode operation messages 41 and mode switching messages 42 according to the combination of the user who has performed the security mode switching operation and the security mode of the switching destination, and the user's mode switching operation and the security device 100. By identifying the mode operation message 41 and the mode switching message 42 based on the mode switching signal from the above and displaying them in chronological order on the chat screen, a message display platform corresponding to the switching of the security mode can be easily realized. be able to.

[Modification example]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

The configuration of the operation screen 30 shown in the above-described embodiment can be changed as appropriate. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the operation screen 30 is displayed over substantially the entire display area of the user terminal 200, but for example, it may be reduced and displayed. In that case, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, the operation screen 40 may be displayed so as to overlap the chat screen 40 displayed at low brightness. In the example of the figure, as the area of the operation screen 40 becomes smaller, the arrangement of the various mode setting buttons 33 to 35 is also changed, and the partial set block selection button 37 is a button having only a number indicating a warning block. In addition, it is said that it also has a determination function by the partial set setting button 36.

In the above-described embodiment, the mode operation message 41 and the mode switching message 42 are associated with the user (operator) identification information and the mode identification information as shown in the tables of FIGS. 4 and 5, and the user terminal 200 The user terminal 200 identifies (generates) and displays a message based on the mode switching signal received from the security device 100. However, among the above, the process of specifying (generating) the mode switching message may be carried out by the center server 300 instead of the user terminal 200.

In this case, the center server functions as a Web server, stores a plurality of mode switching messages 42 different depending on the user identification information and the mode identification information, and stores the user identification information and the user identification information included in the mode switching signal received from the security device 100. The mode switching message 42 corresponding to the mode identification information is specified and generated, and transmitted to the user terminal 200. The user terminal 200 can display the mode switching message 42 as it is on the chat screen 40.

In the above-described embodiment, in the mode operation message 41 and the mode switching message 42, the operator information and the reception time information are displayed separately from the message body, but at least the operator information in the mode switching message is displayed in the message body. It may be incorporated and displayed integrally. That is, the security application of the user terminal 200 may generate and display one message based on the specified mode switching message 42 and the operator information corresponding to the user identification information. As a result, the user can more intuitively recognize the security mode after switching and its operator. The above one message is, for example, the mode switching message is "changed to outing alert mode." If the operator is A, "Mr. A has changed to outing alert mode." Will be generated.

In the above-described embodiment, the same message is displayed except for the operator (operation tool) information regardless of whether the mode switching operation target tool is the main body operation unit 160 or the operation screen 30 of the user terminal 200. .. However, when the operation tools are different, different mode switching messages 41 may be associated with and displayed. For example, when the user operates on the operation screen 30 of the user terminal 200, the user may exist remotely in the building to be guarded. Therefore, the message content on the premise that the user exists in the building ( For example, "Welcome back") may be changed to another message.

Further, when the user switches to the alert release mode using the user terminal 200, the security application adds a caution message confirming whether or not the user is actually returning home to the mode switching message 42. It may be displayed (or instead). At that time, if the security device 100 can acquire the position information of the user terminal 200 and determines that the user does not exist at home, a caution such as "security is released. Please be careful." A mode switching signal corresponding to the arousal message may be transmitted to the user terminal 200.

In the above-described embodiment, the content of the mode switching message is set based on the security mode after switching, but it differs depending on not only the security mode after switching but also the combination of the two security modes before and after switching. The mode switching message may be stored and displayed. That is, even if the security mode after switching is the same, different mode switching messages may be displayed if the security mode before switching is different.

In the above-described embodiment, since the mode switching operation can be performed from both the operation screen 30 of the user terminal 200 and the main body operation unit 160, the operation of the user who exists remotely in the building to be guarded and the operation of the user who exists in the building It is possible that the user's operations are duplicated in a short time, which may cause an unintended abnormality. Therefore, when such an overlapping event occurs, the security device 100 may prioritize the operation of the main body operation unit 160, which is an operation by the user inside the building. That is, for example, the operation from the user terminal 200 may be invalidated within a predetermined time (for example, within 10 seconds, within 30 seconds, etc.) after the mode switching operation by the main body operation unit 160 is input. In this case, an alert message indicating that the operation of the main body operation unit 160 is prioritized may be displayed on the chat screen 40 of the user terminal 200.

Further, when the security device 100 can acquire the position information of each user terminal 200 and a plurality of switching request signals based on the mode switching operation are received from the plurality of user terminals 200 within the predetermined time. May execute the mode switching process with priority given to the operation by the user terminal 200 existing in the building to be guarded.

Among the inventions described in the claims of the present application, the invention described as "security method" is such that at least one device such as a computer automatically performs each step by information processing by software. , It is not something that humans do using devices such as computers. That is, the "security method" is an information processing method by computer software, not a method in which a human operates a calculation tool called a computer.
