[Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a security system 1 according to this embodiment. The security system 1 is a system that detects an intruder (intrusion monitoring) into a house 3 to be monitored and determines changes in the health condition of a resident J of the house 3 (person to be watched over).

The communication network 2 includes the Internet, a fixed telephone network, and a mobile communication network that provides communication services such as voice communication and data communication. A controller 10 installed in a residence 3 and a center device 20 installed in a monitoring center 4 are connected to the communication network 2 .

The controller 10 is a device that detects an intruder into the residence 3 and reports an abnormality to the center device 20 , is installed inside the residence 3 and is connected to the communication network 2 . Note that the controller 10 may be connected to the communication network 2 via a LAN (Local Area Network) built in the residence 3 . The controller 10 has a plurality of modes as security modes in order to guard the residence 3, and operates in the security mode set by the operation of the resident J among these security modes. Also, the controller 10 transmits mode information indicating the set mode to the center device 20 via the communication network 2 . Security mode will be described later. Further, the controller 10 is connected to a plurality of sensors installed outside and outside the residence 3, and determines that an abnormality has occurred when an intruder into the residence 3 is detected from signals output by the sensors. When the controller 10 determines that an abnormality has occurred, the controller 10 transmits an abnormality signal to the center device 20 via the communication network 2 to inform the occurrence of the intrusion abnormality. The abnormality signal transmitted by the controller 10 contains an identification number for identifying the controller 10 . The connection of the controller 10 to the communication network 2 is not limited to wired connection, and may be wireless connection.

The monitoring center 4 is a facility operated by a business that provides security services for the residence 3 . A center device 20 is installed in the monitoring center 4 . The center device 20 communicates with the controller 10 via the communication network 2 and receives an abnormality signal transmitted from the controller 10 . When receiving the abnormal signal, the center device 20 displays the information of the residence 3 and the resident J who are the targets of the crime prevention service, and prompts the controller to confirm the resident J and to deal with the response personnel who rush to the residence 3. In addition, the center device 20 determines a change in the state of the resident J based on the information indicating the security mode, and sends a message according to the determination result to a predetermined destination such as a child or relative of the resident J. (hereinafter referred to as a watcher) or to the e-mail address of resident J himself. The method of notifying this message is not limited to e-mail. For example, the message may be notified via an application operating on a mobile terminal such as a smart phone. Alternatively, the message may be transmitted to the controller 10 and the message may be played back directly from the speaker of the controller 10 .

(Configuration of controller 10)
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the controller 10. As shown in FIG. The storage unit 102 has a non-volatile memory, and stores various information such as the set security mode and an authentication code required for the security mode setting operation. The display unit 103 has a liquid crystal display and LEDs, and displays the set security mode, the states of the outdoor sensor 11 and the indoor sensor 12, the installation locations of the outdoor sensor 11 and the indoor sensor 12, and the like. The operation unit 104 has buttons for operating the controller 10, buttons for setting the security mode, and reading means for reading an authentication code from an authentication medium such as an IC card possessed by the resident J. At least part of the operation unit 104 may be configured by a touch panel display shared with the display unit 103 . The communication unit 105 is a communication interface that communicates with the center device 20 via the communication network 2 . The ringing unit 106 has a speaker and, for example, emits a sound indicating the occurrence of an abnormality or a message when there is a change in the state of the resident J. The setting unit 13 is a device having a function corresponding to the operation unit 104 for setting the security mode at a place away from the controller 10, such as when going out or returning home, and is installed at the entrance of the residence 3, for example.

The interface 107 is an interface to which a plurality of outdoor sensors 11 and a plurality of indoor sensors 12 that detect intruders into the residence 3 are connected. The connection between the interface 107 and the outdoor sensor 11 and the connection between the interface 107 and the indoor sensor 12 are not limited to wired connection, and may be connected wirelessly.

The outdoor sensor 11 and the indoor sensor 12 are sensors that detect an intruder to the residence 3 . The outdoor sensor 11 is installed outside the residence 3 and the indoor sensor 12 is installed inside the residence 3 . The outdoor sensor 11 and the indoor sensor 12 are installed in places where there is a risk of intruders entering. A place where an intruder may enter is, for example, a garden or a gate outside the residence 3, an opening such as an entrance door or a window in the residence 3, a flow line portion such as a passage in the residence 3, or a living room. be. Sensors installed on entrance doors, windows, gates, etc. are sensors that detect the opening of opening/closing bodies such as doors and windows, for example, sensors that detect the opening of doors by detecting changes in magnetic fields. Sensors installed in corridors and living rooms are sensors that detect the presence of people based on physical quantities that are input from a predetermined direction. They include a sensor that detects the presence of a person based on a change, a sensor that detects the presence of a person from an input image, a sensor that detects the presence of a person when the incident light from the light projecting section is blocked, and the like. Each sensor outputs a detection signal when detecting the opening of the opening/closing body or the presence of a person. Intrusion monitoring may be performed using only the indoor sensor 12 without using the outdoor sensor 11 .

The control unit 101 has a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The control unit 101 executes programs stored in the ROM. Setting means 1001 and information transmitting means 1002 are implemented in control unit 101 that has executed the program. After executing the program, the control unit 101 controls each connected unit and executes various processes.

The setting means 1001 switches and sets a plurality of security modes according to the operation of the resident J. In this embodiment, the security modes include a release mode, a home monitoring mode, a partial set mode, and an outing mode. These guard modes have different monitoring areas. At least switching from the going-out mode to the release mode requires operator authentication, and the setting means 1001 compares the authentication code read from the authentication medium with the switching operation with the registration information in the storage unit 102, and if they match. set to release mode. When the setting means 1001 sets the security mode, mode information indicating the set security mode is supplied to the information transmitting means 1002 .

The release mode is a mode that is set when there is a resident J in the residence 3, and is set when there is no need to monitor intruders, for example. When the resident J sets the security mode to the cancellation mode, no report regarding the intruder is made. Specifically, when the resident J sets the security mode to the release mode, the intruders to the residence 3 are not monitored, and even if the outdoor sensor 11 or the indoor sensor 12 outputs a detection signal, an abnormal signal regarding the intruder is detected. is not sent.

The at-home monitoring mode is a mode set when the resident J is in the house 3, for example, when the resident J goes to bed. In the home monitoring mode, at least the outer peripheral area of the residence 3 is set as the monitoring area, but the activity area of the resident J within the residence 3 is excluded from the monitoring area. Further, in the home monitoring mode, in addition to the outer peripheral area, the inner area within the residence 3 excluding the activity area of the resident J may be set as the monitoring area. That is, in the home monitoring mode, intrusion monitoring is performed with a part of the security target as a monitoring area. Specifically, when the resident J sets the security mode to the home monitoring mode, in order to detect an intrusion into the residence 3 from the outside, some surveillance areas such as the entrance door, windows, gates, and the outdoors of the residence 3 ( When the outdoor sensor 11 installed in the peripheral area and the indoor sensor 12 installed in the inner area other than the activity area of the resident J in the residence 3 output a detection signal, an abnormal signal related to the intruder is transmitted to the center device 20 . In the home monitoring mode, intrusion monitoring is not performed by indoor sensors 12 installed in interior areas such as passages and living rooms in the residence 3, detection signals are ignored, and indoor sensors installed in the interior area are not monitored. 12 outputs a detection signal, no anomaly signal regarding the intruder is transmitted.

In the state where the home monitoring mode is set, when the resident J opens the window or opens the front door to go out, the indoor sensor 12 detects it and the ringing part 106 of the controller 10 rings. If the canceling operation is not performed within a certain period of time, an abnormal signal is sent to the monitoring center 4 . Therefore, when the home monitoring mode is set, the resident J cannot go out without transmitting an abnormal signal. There will be

The partial set mode is a mode that is set when the resident J is in the house 3, like the home monitoring mode, and is set when the resident J goes to bed, for example. However, in the partial set mode, part of the monitoring area in the home monitoring mode is set as the monitoring area. That is, in the partial set mode as well as in the home monitoring mode, intrusion monitoring is performed with a part of the security target as a monitoring area. For example, the monitoring area is divided into a plurality of areas in advance, and in the partial set mode, the area specified by the resident J via the operation unit 104 is the target of monitoring, and the corresponding outdoor sensor 11 and indoor sensor 12 output detection signals. An anomaly signal may be sent in this case. More specifically, for example, in a two-story house 3, when a resident J sleeps on the second floor, if the partial set mode is set and the first floor is specified as a monitoring target, the outdoor When the sensor 11 or the indoor sensor 12 installed in the inner area other than the activity area of the resident J outputs a detection signal, an abnormal signal regarding the intruder is sent to the center device 20 . On the other hand, intrusion monitoring by the outdoor sensor 11 installed in the outer peripheral area of the second floor and the indoor sensor 12 installed in the flow line portion such as the passage in the residence 3 and the internal area such as the living room is not performed, and the detection signal is ignored. When the indoor sensors 12 installed in the outer peripheral area and the inner area of these second floors output detection signals, an abnormal signal regarding an intruder is not transmitted. Therefore, for example, even if the resident J opens the window on the second floor, no abnormal signal regarding the intruder is transmitted.

The going-out mode is a mode set when the resident J goes out and the residence 3 is unmanned. The control unit 101 monitors the entire monitoring area consisting of the inner area and the outer peripheral area, and when any of the outdoor sensor 11 or indoor sensor 12 outputs a detection signal, transmits an abnormal signal regarding an intruder to the center device 20 . That is, in the going-out mode, intrusion monitoring is performed with the entire security target as a monitoring area. In addition, when the outing mode is set, the sensor for monitoring the exit route of the resident J starts detecting an intruder after a predetermined time has passed since the outing mode is set, and the resident who goes out is detected. It is preferable not to falsely detect J as an intruder.

Also, if the resident J performs a mode change operation while in the house and sets the outside mode, the presence of a person is detected by the indoor sensor 12 installed inside the house, and an abnormal signal is sent to the monitoring center 4. Therefore, it is not possible to set the going-out mode without transmitting an abnormal signal to the monitoring center 4 while the resident J is in the house.

The information transmitting means 1002 transmits mode information indicating the security mode after switching to the center device 20 . Mode information transmitted by the information transmitting means 1002 includes an identification number for identifying the controller 10 .

(Configuration of center device 20)
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the center device 20. As shown in FIG. A communication unit 205 is a communication interface that performs communication via the communication network 2 . The communication unit 205 receives an abnormality signal and mode information transmitted from the controller 10 .

The storage unit 202 has a hard disk device and stores an operating system program and application programs. The storage unit 202 also stores a history of operations performed by the resident J to switch between a plurality of security modes for each residence 3 to be monitored, based on the mode information received by the communication unit 205 . In addition, the storage unit 202 stores, as information related to the resident J who receives the security service, the history of past abnormal signals, the address of the residence 3, the identification number of the controller 10, the name, telephone number, and e-mail address of the resident J, the resident J Information of the notification destination of the message such as the e-mail address and telephone number of the child or the like who is the watcher of the child is linked and stored.

The control unit 201 has a CPU and a RAM. The control unit 201 executes programs stored in the storage unit 202 . After executing the program, the control unit 201 controls each connected unit and executes various processes. Also, in the control unit 201 that has executed the program, acquisition means 2001 , totalization means 2002 , determination means 2003 and transmission means 2004 are realized.

Acquisition unit 2001 acquires an abnormal signal and mode information received by communication unit 205 . Acquisition means 2001 creates an operation history 2005 that is a history of operations for switching security modes by resident J based on the acquired mode information and the date and time of acquisition of the mode information, and stores the operation history 2005 in storage unit 202 .

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the operation history 2005. As shown in FIG. In the operation history 2005, for each security mode, the start date and time of the security mode, the end date and time of the security mode, and the set time that is the duration from the start to the end of the security mode are associated. The start date and time indicates the time when an operation to switch from another security mode to the target security mode was performed. For the start date and time, for example, the acquisition date and time of the mode information indicating the target security mode may be used. The end date and time indicates the time when an operation to switch from the target security mode to another security mode was performed. For the end date and time, for example, the acquisition date and time of mode information indicating another security mode switched from the target security mode may be used. In the following explanation, the operation of switching from another security mode to the target security mode is the operation of setting the target security mode, and the operation of switching from the target security mode to another security mode is the operation of canceling the target security mode. There is a case. Also, the "target security mode" refers to the security mode set by the resident J.

Aggregating means 2002 aggregates the operation history 2005 stored in the storage unit 202 . This tallying is performed, for example, by a method that enables recognition of whether or not the set time of each security mode satisfies a predetermined condition. For example, in this tally, the set time of the security mode for the subject may be counted or an average set time may be calculated. A total result of the operation history 2005 is supplied to the determination means 2003 .

The determination means 2003 determines a change in the state of the resident J based on whether or not the set time of the target security mode satisfies a predetermined condition. This predetermined condition includes, for example, a condition indicating that the set time is longer than or equal to the predetermined time or a condition indicating that the set time obtained from the operation history 2005 tends to approach the predetermined time. The "state of the resident J" as used herein includes, for example, the state of health of the resident J regarding illness or injury, and the living condition of the resident J. The state of health includes the state of physical health and the state of mental health. Changes in physical health include changes in physical state, such as the onset of certain illnesses, manifestations of physical weakness, injuries, or changes in mental health, such as depression, dementia. Onset and symptoms include changes in mood, such as frequent or persistent episodes of depression, low mood, anxiety, fear, and lethargy. For example, a change in the state of the resident J includes a change in state regarding withdrawal or a change in state regarding an accident while going out. Further, different types of state changes may be determined according to the combination of the target security mode among the four security modes and the condition that the set time satisfies. The determination result of determination means 2003 is supplied to transmission means 2004 .

Transmission means 2004 transmits a message according to the determination result of determination means 2003 to a predetermined destination. For example, the message may have the content of notifying the resident J of a change in condition, or may have the content of proposing a countermeasure to the resident J's change of the condition. Also, this message may have different contents depending on the type of state change determined by the determining means 2003 . Predetermined destinations include, for example, a first destination related to resident J and a second destination related to resident J's watcher. The first destination and the second destination are different from each other. For example, the e-mail address of the resident J or the communication address of the controller 10 may be used as the first destination. For example, the e-mail address of the watcher of resident J may be used as the second destination. The message may be sent using an e-mail, may be sent using a message function of SNS (social networking service), or may be sent using a push notification function.

(Example of operation of embodiment)
Next, an operation example when determining a change in the state of the resident J in this embodiment will be described. When the resident J performs an operation to switch the security mode using the setting unit 13 or the operation section 104, the controller 10 switches the security mode by the setting means 1001 according to this operation. Further, the controller 10 transmits mode information indicating the security mode after switching from the information transmitting means 1002 to the center device 20 . The center device 20 receives the mode information transmitted from the controller 10 by the acquisition means 2001 , creates an operation history 2005 based on the security mode indicated by the received mode information and the date and time of reception of the mode information, and stores the operation history 2005 . be memorized.

(Operation example 1)
FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing an example of the flow of processing for judging and notifying a change in the state of the resident J. As shown in FIG. The process of FIG. 5 is executed at predetermined time intervals, such as once an hour or once a day. First, based on the operation history 2005 stored in the storage unit 202, the tallying means 2002 counts the setting time of the target security mode set by the resident J (step S11). Subsequently, the determination means 2003 determines whether or not the set time counted in step S11 satisfies a predetermined condition (step S12). Here, it is assumed that the predetermined condition indicates that the target security mode setting time is two days or more. If it is determined that the target security mode setting time does not satisfy the predetermined condition (step S12: NO), this process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the target security mode setting time satisfies the predetermined condition (step S12: YES), the determining means 2003 determines that the state of the resident J has changed (step S13). The transmitting means 2004 transmits to the second destination a message according to the state change determined in step S13 (step S14). Here, it is assumed that the e-mail address of the watcher of resident J is registered as the second destination of the message. In this case, by specifying the identification number included in the mode information related to the operation history 2005 and reading out from the storage unit 202 the e-mail address of the watcher of the resident J linked to the specified identification number of the controller 10, A second destination of the message is obtained. The message is then sent to this second destination. Note that this message may be generated in advance or may be generated each time.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a security mode switching history indicated by the operation history 2005. As shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the security mode is not switched after the security mode is switched from the cancellation mode to the home monitoring mode at 21:00 on the target day. In this case, the home monitoring mode becomes the target security mode. Therefore, in step S11 described above, the set time T1 of the home monitoring mode is counted. If the set time T1 of the home monitoring mode is two days or longer, it is determined in step S12 that the set time T1 of the home monitoring mode satisfies a predetermined condition (step S12: YES). As described above, when the set time T1 of the home monitoring mode is equal to or longer than the predetermined time, it is considered possible that the resident J has withdrawn into the residence 3 without going out. Therefore, in the subsequent step S13 described above, it is determined that there is a possibility that the resident J has become withdrawn into the residence 3 . Then, in step S14 described above, a message such as "I haven't been out for a while. Why don't you go out once in a while?" It may be sent to your email address.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing another example of the security mode switching history indicated by the operation history 2005. As shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the guard mode is not switched after the guard mode is switched from the release mode to the going-out mode at 9:00 on the target day. In this case, the going-out mode becomes the target security mode. Therefore, in step S11 described above, the setting time T2 of the going-out mode is counted. When the setting time T2 of the going-out mode is two days or longer, it is determined in step S12 that the setting time T2 of the going-out mode satisfies a predetermined condition (step S12: YES). In this way, when the setting time T2 of the outing monitoring mode is equal to or longer than the predetermined time, it is possible that the resident J was hospitalized due to an accident or sudden illness while he was out and could not return to the residence 3. be done. Therefore, in the following step S13, it is determined that there is a possibility that the resident J has had an accident or the like while going out and cannot return to the residence 3. Then, in step S14 described above, a content suggesting contacting resident J, such as "It seems that resident J has not come home for a while. Would you like to contact him on his mobile phone?" The message may be sent to Resident J's watcher email address.

(Operation example 2)
FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing another example of the flow of processing for judging and notifying a change in the state of the resident J. FIG. The process of FIG. 8 is executed at predetermined time intervals, such as once an hour or once a day. First, the tallying means 2002 extracts a portion of the target period from the date of execution of the process to a predetermined time before from the operation history 2005 stored in the storage unit 202, and tallies the extracted portion (step S21). For example, the counting means 2002 calculates the average setting time of the target security mode in the target period. A tally result of the operation history 2005 is stored in the storage unit 202 . In addition, the storage unit 202 also stores the tally results for the period before the target period. Subsequently, the determining means 2003 determines whether or not the tendency of the setting time of the security mode of the object obtained from the tallied result of step S21 satisfies a predetermined condition (step S22). Here, the predetermined condition indicates that the setting time of the home monitoring mode tends to increase and the setting time of the outing mode tends to decrease. If it is determined that these tendencies of the security mode setting times do not satisfy the predetermined condition (step S22: NO), this process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the tendency of the setting time of these security modes satisfies the predetermined condition (step S22: YES), the determining means 2003 determines that the state of the resident J has changed (step S23). The transmitting means 2004 transmits to the first destination a first message corresponding to the state change determined in step S23 (step S24). Here, it is assumed that the communication address of the controller 10 is registered as the first destination. In this case, the identification number included in the mode information related to the operation history 2005 is specified, and the communication address of the controller 10 linked to the specified identification number of the controller 10 is read out from the storage unit 202 to obtain the first destination. is obtained. A first message is then sent to this first destination. Note that this message may be generated in advance or may be generated each time.

Subsequently, the transmission unit 2004 determines whether or not an operation to switch the security mode has been performed during a predetermined period of time from when the message was transmitted in step S24 (step S25). Here, it is assumed that the predetermined period is 6 hours. If an operation to switch the security mode is performed before the predetermined period elapses (step S25: YES), this process ends. On the other hand, if an operation to switch the security mode has not been performed within a predetermined period of time from when the message was transmitted in step S24 (step S25: NO), the transmission means 2004 determines in step S23 A second message corresponding to the state change is sent to the second destination (step S26). Here, it is assumed that the e-mail address of the watcher of resident J is registered as the second destination of the message. In this case, by specifying the identification number included in the mode information related to the operation history 2005 and reading out from the storage unit 202 the e-mail address of the watcher of the resident J linked to the specified identification number of the controller 10, A second destination of the message is obtained. The message is then sent to this second destination. Note that this message may be generated in advance or may be generated each time. Also, this message may be the same message as the message transmitted in step S24 described above, or may be a different message.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the tallied result of the operation history 2005. As shown in FIG. Here, the average setting time for each of the at-home monitoring mode and the going-out mode is used as the aggregated result of the operation history 2005 . In this case, the target security mode is the home monitoring mode and the going-out mode. The target period is one month from September 1st to September 30th, and the reference period is one month from August 1st to August 31st, which is one month before the target period. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the average setting time of the home monitoring mode during the reference period is 8 hours, while the average setting time of the home monitoring mode during the target period is increased to 12 hours. In addition, while the average setting time of going-out mode in the reference period was 6 hours, the average setting time of going-out mode in the target period decreased to 2 hours. In this way, when the time set for the home monitoring mode tends to increase and the time set for the outing mode tends to decrease, in step S22 described above, the trends in the time set for the home monitoring mode and the time out mode are set to a predetermined value. is satisfied (step S22: YES). In this way, when the setting time of the home monitoring mode tends to be longer and the setting time of the going-out mode tends to be shorter, it becomes troublesome for the resident J to go out, and he gradually withdraws into the house 3. It is considered a sign of declining trend. Therefore, in the subsequent step S23 described above, it is determined that there is a high risk that the resident J will tend to withdraw into the residence 3 . Then, in step S24 described above, a message suggesting going out is sent to the communication address of the controller 10, such as "Recently, you spend less time going out. Why don't you go out more?" may be As a result, for example, the message is displayed on the display unit 103 of the controller 10, or the message is played back by voice from the speaker of the controller 10. FIG. If an operation to switch to another security mode has not been performed within 6 hours after the message was sent in step S24 (step S25: NO), in step S26 described above, the resident J tends to withdraw into the residence 3. A message is sent to the e-mail address of the resident J's watcher according to the determination result that the risk of becoming a state is high. This message may have content suggesting going to see how the resident J is doing, for example, "Why don't you go see how the resident J is doing?"

In the above-described embodiment, the "storage unit 202", "residence 3", "resident J", "home monitoring mode" or "partial set mode", and "going out mode" are each the "storage unit 202" according to the present invention. means", "security target", "operator", "partial monitoring mode", and "whole monitoring mode". In addition, in the operation example 2 described above, the "home monitoring mode set time" and the "going out mode set time" are used as the "first duration time" and the "second duration time" according to the present invention, respectively. ing.

According to the present embodiment described above, it is determined that there has been a change in the health condition of resident J based on the set time of the security mode, and a message corresponding to the determination result is sent to a predetermined destination. A predetermined destination person can recognize that the health condition of the resident J has changed without providing a large number of dedicated sensors for detecting changes in the health condition of the resident J. In addition, since the health condition of the resident J is determined from the setting time of the security mode, it is possible to inform the person watching the change of the condition of the resident J without making the resident J feel the psychological burden of being monitored. Furthermore, in the operation example 2 described above, before the resident J becomes withdrawn, the message is transmitted at the time when the symptom appears, so that the change in the health condition of the resident J can be recognized at an early stage, can be dealt with. Furthermore, a type of state change is determined according to the combination of the security mode of the object and the condition that the set time period of the security mode satisfies. A person of a given destination can recognize how their health status has changed.

[Modification]
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be embodied in various other forms. For example, the present invention may be implemented by modifying the above-described embodiment as follows. It should be noted that the above-described embodiment and the following modified examples may be combined with each other.

In the embodiment described above, a change in the state of the resident J regarding heat stroke may be recognized based on the set time of the partial set mode. In this case, indoor sensor 12 includes a temperature sensor that detects temperature. This temperature sensor is provided for each area that is a unit of monitoring object in the partial set mode. Here, it is assumed that the security mode is not switched after the security mode is switched from the release mode to the partial set mode at 21:00 on the target day. In this case, the partial set mode becomes the target security mode. In this partial set mode, the first floor is designated as a monitoring target, and the second floor is not designated as a monitoring target. That is, the first floor is a monitored area to be monitored, and the second floor is a non-monitored area not to be monitored. In this case, the determination means 2003 determines whether the set time of the partial set mode and the temperature of the non-monitoring area detected during this set time satisfy a predetermined condition. This predetermined condition indicates, for example, that the set time of the partial set mode is equal to or longer than a predetermined time, and that the temperature of the non-monitoring area detected during this set time is continuously equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature. Here, it is assumed that the set time is 6 hours and the predetermined temperature is 35 degrees. If the set time of the partial set mode and the temperature of the non-monitoring area detected during this set time satisfy a predetermined condition, the determining means 2003 determines a change in the state related to heat stroke. For example, when the set time of the partial set mode is 6 hours or more, and the temperature detected by the temperature sensor installed on the second floor of the residence 3 is continuously 35 degrees or more during the period when the partial set mode is set. is determined that the set time of the partial set mode and the temperature of the non-monitoring area satisfy predetermined conditions. In this way, when the set time of the partial set mode is equal to or longer than the predetermined time, and the temperature of the non-monitoring area during the period when the partial set mode is set is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature, the resident J living in the non-monitoring area are at risk of heat stroke. Therefore, it is determined that there is a risk of heat stroke, and the contents of the suggestion to go see how resident J is doing, for example, "Would you like to go see how she is?" message may be sent to a predetermined destination. At this time, the message may be sent only to the second destination as in the operation example 1 described above, or a predetermined period of time elapses after the message is sent to the first destination as in the operation example 2 described above. If an operation to switch the security mode is not performed during the period, the message may also be sent to the second destination. In addition, in this modified example, the "temperature sensor" is used as the "temperature detecting means" according to the present invention. According to this modification, the person at the predetermined destination can recognize that the resident J may be suffering from heatstroke.

In the embodiments described above, the target security mode is not limited to the home monitoring mode or the going-out mode. For example, the target security mode may be a release mode. For example, in the operation example 1 described above, if the set time of the release mode is equal to or longer than a predetermined time, it may be determined that the set time of the release mode satisfies a predetermined condition. The fact that the operation to switch the security mode has not been performed for a predetermined time or more while the release mode is set is considered to have caused the resident J to easily forget things. Therefore, in this case, it may be determined that the resident J is in a state of forgetfulness, and a message corresponding to the change in the state may be transmitted.

In the above-described embodiment, the tendency of the set time of the home monitoring mode to become longer is determined by the comparison result of the average set time of the reference period and the average set time of the target period, as well as the amount of increase in the average set time and the average set time. or the comparison result between the average set time of the target period and the predetermined time. For example, when the average set time is doubled, when the increase rate of the average set time is equal to or greater than a predetermined increase rate, or when the set time of the target period is equal to or greater than a predetermined time, the home monitoring mode is set. It may be determined that the time trend is a longer trend. Similarly, the tendency of the out-of-home mode setting time to become shorter is also based on the results of comparing the average setting time of the reference period and the average setting time of the target period. Alternatively, determination may be made using a comparison result between the average set time of the target period and the predetermined time.

In the above-described embodiments, the reference period is not limited to the period preceding the target period. For example, the reference period may be a past period in the same season as the target period. For example, if the target period is from 2019/01/01 to 2019/01/31, the reference period is from 2018/01/01 to 2018/01/31. may Thereby, even if the lifestyle pattern of the resident J changes depending on the season, the change in the condition of the resident J can be accurately determined. Thus, the comparison period may be any period that precedes the target period.

In the embodiments described above, the content of the message may be the same when any of the state changes described above are determined. For example, when it is determined that any of the states described above has changed, the state of resident J is changed, such as "There is a possibility that the state has changed. Why don't you try making a phone call?" A message may be sent that notifies that there is a possibility that the resident J is likely to be there, or that suggests contacting the resident J.

In the operation example 1 of the above-described embodiment, after the transmission to the first destination as in the operation example 2, if the operation to switch the security mode is not performed until the predetermined period elapses, the second operation is performed. It may also be sent to the destination. For example, a state in which the home monitoring mode continues for a predetermined period indicates that the resident J is in the house, but there is a possibility that the resident J is in a shut-in state (or there is a sign of it), or a sudden illness. There is also sex. Therefore, after sending a message to the address of resident J's mobile phone as the first destination (or directly reproducing the message from the speaker of the controller 10), after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the address of resident J is sent as the second destination. A message such as "Would you like to check how resident J is doing?" Further, in the operation example 2 described above, it may be transmitted only to the second destination as in the operation example 1 described above.

In the above-described embodiment, the second destination is not limited to destinations related to resident J's watchers. The second destination may be a destination associated with monitoring center 4 . For the destination associated with the monitoring center 4, for example, the communication address of the center device 20 is used. If the message is sent to a destination associated with the monitoring center 4 , a response person requested by the monitoring center 4 may rush to the residence 3 . Further, in the operation example 1 described above, the destination of the message is not necessarily limited to the second destination. For example, instead of the second destination, the message may be sent to the first destination.

In the operation example 2 of the embodiment described above, the predetermined condition is not limited to the condition indicating that the setting time of the home monitoring mode tends to increase and the setting time of the outing mode tends to decrease. For example, the predetermined condition may be only a condition indicating that the setting time of the home monitoring mode tends to increase. In this case, if the setting time of the home monitoring mode tends to increase, it may be determined that the state of the resident J has changed regardless of the setting time trend of the outing mode.

In the above-described embodiment, the center device 20 determines whether the state of the resident J has changed. good. Alternatively, the configuration may be such that a terminal installed in the residence 3 separate from the controller 10 determines the change in the state of the resident J. FIG. Alternatively, mode information or the like may be transmitted from the controller 10 or the center device 20 to the cloud server described above, and the cloud server may determine whether the state of the resident J has changed.

The entity that implements each function of the security system 1 is not limited to the example described in the above embodiment. For example, the controller 10 may have acquisition means 2001 , counting means 2002 and determination means 2003 . In another example, the controller 10 may have acquisition means 2001 , aggregation means 2002 , determination means 2003 and transmission means 2004 . In this case, the center device 20 may not necessarily be provided.

The steps of processing performed in the security system 1 in the above-described embodiment are not limited to the examples described in the above-described embodiment. The steps of this process may be interchanged unless inconsistent. The present invention may be provided as a method comprising steps of processing performed in the security system 1 .

The present invention may be provided as a program executed by the controller 10 or the center device 20. FIG. This program may be downloaded via a communication line such as the Internet. In addition, this program is provided in a state recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a magnetic recording medium (magnetic tape, magnetic disk, etc.), optical recording medium (optical disk, etc.), magneto-optical recording medium, semiconductor memory, etc. may
