Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an emergency notification disaster prevention docking station in which an emergency notification disaster prevention radio is mounted and, when the emergency notification disaster prevention radio determines that the emergency notification disaster prevention radio has received an alarm signal, an operation signal is transmitted to a slave unit.

Many natural disasters have occurred in Japan, including the Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred in March 2011. When these disasters occur, power outages and water outages often occur at the same time, making it difficult to obtain information through television. On the other hand, the functions of radios and radios that can be driven by batteries to withstand disasters are being reviewed, and the means of information transmission using these is attracting attention again.
In particular, attention is paid to the role of community broadcasting stations that are closely tied to the region, and it is possible to transmit detailed information such as evacuation sites by distributing warning information specific to the region and transmitting information limited to the region in the event of a disaster. Recently, through cooperation between this community radio and local governments, a system is being used that not only conveys disaster information but also quickly conveys emergency information such as J alerts, L alerts, and earthquake early warnings to residents. As a means of transmitting this information, an emergency announcement disaster prevention radio that can immediately start up and listen to emergency broadcasts even when the power is off by transmitting a unique activation signal from a community broadcasting station has attracted attention and is actually being used (Patent Documents). 1, Patent Document 2). In many cases, these emergency notification disaster prevention radios are distributed by local governments, or are sold at low prices with subsidies, and efforts to popularize them are being actively made.

However, in many cases, only one emergency announcement disaster prevention radio is installed in each public facility or home, and people outside the listening range of the radio cannot hear the radio sound, so they cannot know the announcement of disaster prevention information.
In addition, when installing these emergency notification disaster prevention radios in each room, it is necessary to prepare emergency notification disaster prevention radios for the number of rooms, so from the price point of view, it is difficult for residents (users) to spread these. need to understand. In addition, since the disaster prevention signal is a general FM radio signal, it is necessary to install and manage it while paying attention to the reception sensitivity depending on the environment of each room. Since the disaster prevention signal cannot be received in the first place, it becomes an extremely serious problem.
Moreover, in each school including a university, it is divided into many rooms such as classrooms and laboratories, and classes and the like are conducted in each place. In factories and large playgrounds, even the sound of an emergency announcement disaster prevention radio that has been activated in an emergency is drowned out by noise, etc., and there are many cases where the original purpose cannot be satisfied. In addition, many laboratories of universities and research institutes are constructed with an emphasis on airtightness, and there is also the problem that radio waves cannot reach them in the first place.
As a solution to these problems, a device has been proposed that converts emergency information signals from community FM broadcasting stations, etc., using a relay adapter, and communicates emergency information in conjunction with residential fire alarms installed in each indoor room. (Patent Document 3).
However, in order to realize these, it is necessary to install dedicated emergency information receivers and relay adapters, as well as newly install dedicated fire alarms. be.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an emergency announcement disaster prevention docking station that utilizes an emergency announcement disaster prevention radio that has already been distributed/marketed by a local government and is currently in use, and that enables alerts to be known even outside the listening range of the emergency announcement disaster prevention radio. do.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart of the emergency notification disaster prevention system according to this embodiment.
S1 to S3 show the preparatory stage of the emergency notification disaster prevention system according to this embodiment.
In S1, after the emergency notification disaster prevention radio 20 is placed on the emergency notification disaster prevention docking station 10, the installation state is confirmed by turning on the emergency notification disaster prevention radio 20 lighting switch 23a (S2).
If the light detection confirmation display means 15 emits light by turning on the lighting switch 23a in S2 (Yes in S3), it can be confirmed that the emergency notification disaster prevention radio 20 is correctly placed on the emergency notification disaster prevention docking station 10, and power is supplied. The terminal 16 and the charging terminal 26a are connected (S4), and the alarm standby state is entered (S5).
If the light detection confirmation display means 15 does not emit light in S3, there is a problem with the installation state, so the emergency notification disaster prevention radio 20 is placed again on the emergency notification disaster prevention docking station 10 (S1).

From S6 to S14, the processing in the emergency notification disaster prevention docking station 10 is shown.
When the light detection means 11 detects one light signal (S6), the alarm flashing judgment section 12a starts alarm judgment (S7).
The warning flashing determination unit 12a counts the light signals from the start of warning determination (S8).
The counting of optical signals in S8 continues until a preset detection time elapses, and ends when the detection time elapses (S9).
If the light signal is not detected a preset number of times after the detection time in S9 has passed, it is determined that the blinking is not due to the reception of the alarm signal (No in S10), and the alarm standby state is restored.
In S10, if the optical signal has been detected for the preset number of times, it is determined whether or not the sound volume detecting means 14 has detected a sound volume exceeding the preset sound volume level during the detection time (S11).

In S11, if the sound volume detecting means 14 does not detect a sound volume exceeding a preset sound volume level during the detection time, it is determined that the blinking is not due to reception of an alarm signal, and the alarm standby state is returned to.
In S11, if the sound volume detection means 14 detects a sound volume exceeding a preset sound volume level during the detection time, it is determined that the blinking is due to reception of an alarm signal (S12).
When the warning flashing judgment unit 12a judges that the flashing is caused by receiving an alarm signal in S12, the output instructing unit 12b issues an output instruction to the transmitting means 13 (S13), and the transmitting means 13 transmits an operation signal (S14).

When the operation signal is transmitted from the transmission means 13, the reception means 31 of the slave device 30 receives the operation signal (S15).
The PWM signal of the operation signal received in S15 is converted into a voltage signal in the smoothing circuit 32 (S16).
If the voltage signal converted by the smoothing circuit 32 matches the reference voltage pre-selected by the child side voltage value setting means 33 (YES in S17), an operation instruction is issued to the device 40 (S18), If it does not match the reference voltage preselected by the device-side voltage value setting means 33 (NO in S17), no operation instruction is issued to the device 40 (S19).
As described above, according to the present embodiment, by using the emergency notification disaster prevention radio 20 that has already been distributed/marketed by the local government and is currently in use, it is possible to know the warning even outside the viewing range of the emergency notification disaster prevention radio 20 .
