[Security system configuration]
The security system 30 is a system for performing predetermined information processing for coping with the occurrence of an abnormality in the building 80 . The predetermined information processing is, for example, information processing for notifying the user of the occurrence of an abnormality, information processing for arranging a visitor to the building 80, and the like. The security system 30 comprises a security controller 60 , a sensor 65 and a security server 70 .

The security system 30 is, for example, a crime prevention system. For example, when the security controller 60 detects an intruder into the building 80 using the sensor 65 while the security mode (for example, an operation mode set when the user is not in the building 80) is valid, the building 80 considers that an abnormality has occurred and notifies the security server 70 to that effect. Then, the operator of the business operating the security system 30 arranges for the visitor, and the visitor rushes to the building 80. - 特許庁In addition, the operator reports to the police station or the like as necessary. In Embodiment 1, an operator means a person who operates a computer or the like.

Also, the security system 30 may be a disaster prevention system. In this case, for example, when the security controller 60 detects the occurrence of a fire in the building 80 using the sensor 65 while the security mode is active, the security controller 60 considers that an abnormality has occurred in the building 80 and notifies the security server 70 to that effect. Notice. Then, the operator of the business operating the security system 30 arranges for the visitor, and the visitor rushes to the building 80. - 特許庁In addition, the operator reports to the fire department or the like as necessary.

Also, the security system 30 may be a monitoring system. In this case, the security controller 60 uses the sensor 65 to monitor the health condition of elderly people living in the building 80 when the security mode is active, and when an abnormality is detected, the security server 70 is notified to that effect. Then, the operator of the business operating the security system 30 arranges for the visitor, and the visitor rushes to the building 80. - 特許庁In addition, the operator contacts the family members of the elderly person (for example, family members who live far away).

Each component of the security system 30 will be described below. First, the security controller 60 will be explained. Security controller 60 is an example of a second control device, is installed in building 80 , and uses sensor 65 to detect that an abnormality has occurred in building 80 . Here, the occurrence of abnormality in the building means the occurrence of abnormality within the premises of the building 80 , and includes not only the occurrence of abnormality inside the building 80 but also the occurrence of abnormality outside the building 80 . The security controller 60 includes a second control section 61 , a second communication section 62 and a second storage section 63 .

The second control unit 61 controls the security controller 60 . The second control unit 61 is realized by, for example, a microcomputer, but may be realized by a processor or a dedicated circuit.

The second communication unit 62 is a communication circuit for the security controller 60 to communicate with the sensor 65 , device controller 40 and security server 70 . The second communication unit 62 is, for example, a wireless communication circuit that performs wireless communication, but may be a wired communication circuit that performs wired communication. A communication standard for communication performed by the second communication unit 62 is not particularly limited.

The second storage unit 63 is a storage device that stores control programs and the like executed by the second control unit 61 . The second storage unit 63 is implemented by, for example, a semiconductor memory.

Next, the sensor 65 will be explained. A sensor 65 is a sensor for detecting the occurrence of an abnormality in the building. If the security system 30 is a security system, the sensor 65 may be a window or door opening/closing sensor, a glass breaking sensor, or a motion sensor. If the security system 30 is a disaster prevention system, the sensor 65 may be a heat sensor, smoke sensor, gas leak sensor, or the like. When the security system 30 is a monitoring system, the sensor 65 is a monitoring sensor, a vital sensor, or the like. Security system 30 may include at least one sensor 65 , but may include multiple sensors 65 .

Next, the security server 70 will be explained. The security server 70 is an example of an information processing system, and performs information processing based on an abnormality notification received from the security controller 60 . The security server 70 includes an information processing section 71 , a communication section 72 and a storage section 73 .

The storage unit 73 is a storage device that stores control programs and the like executed by the information processing unit 71 . The storage unit 73 is implemented by, for example, a semiconductor memory.

As described above, according to the security system 30, the user can receive flexible and reliable support through the operator and the visitor. Although the security system 30 is described below as a crime prevention system, the security system 30 may be a disaster prevention system or a watching system as described above. Also, in the following description, it is assumed that the equipment controller 40 and the security controller 60 are installed in the same building 80 (that is, have a corresponding relationship) within the cooperation system 10 .

[Operation example 1]
The equipment control system 20 and the security system 30 are normally independent systems that do not transmit or receive information between the systems. If the equipment control system 20 and the security system 30 are linked and the security system 30 can control the equipment 45 in the building 80 and acquire the status of the equipment 45, operators and visitors can respond more flexibly. it is conceivable that. However, simply granting the security system 30 access authority to the device control system 20 raises security and privacy concerns.

Therefore, the linkage system 10 grants the security system 30 access authority to the device control system 20 , triggered by the device control server 50 of the device control system 20 receiving a predetermined notification. The predetermined notification is, for example, an anomaly notification indicating that an anomaly has occurred within the building 80, but may be any other notification.

An operation example 1 of such a cooperation system 10 will be described below. FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram of operation example 1 of the cooperation system 10. As shown in FIG.

In operation example 1 below, at least one of the ID of the security controller 60 and the ID of the security server 70 is stored in the storage unit 53 of the device control server 50 as ID information in a state in which it is associated with the ID of the device controller 40. shall be memorized.

First, the second control unit 61 of the security controller 60 detects the occurrence of an abnormality in the building 80 (S11). For example, when an intruder into the building 80 is detected by the sensor 65 while the alert mode is enabled by the user, the second control unit 61 determines that an abnormality has occurred in the building 80 ( detection). When the occurrence of an abnormality in the building 80 is detected, the second control section 61 causes the second communication section 62 to transmit an abnormality notification to the security server 70 (S12).

The abnormality notification transmitted by the second communication unit 62 is received by the communication unit 72 of the security server 70 (S13). When the communication unit 72 receives the abnormality notification, the information processing unit 71 causes the communication unit 72 to transmit the abnormality notification to the device control server 50 (S14).

At step S13, at least one of the ID of the security controller 60 and the ID of the security server 70 is received together with the abnormality notification. At least one of the ID of the security controller 60 and the ID of the security server 70 is used together with the ID information stored in the storage unit 53 to specify the device controller 40 to which the instruction information is to be sent in step S22 described later. be done.

When the abnormality notification transmitted by the communication unit 72 is received by the communication unit 52 of the device control server 50 (S15), the information processing unit 51 temporarily gives the security server 70 the authority to control the device 45 (specifically, the authority to control the device 45). , an access token is generated for granting at least one of authority to control the device 45 and acquire the status of the device 45 (S16). An access token is an example of authentication information. The access token may have an expiration date or a number of times of use (for example, valid only once). Then, the information processing section 51 causes the communication section 52 to transmit the generated access token to the security server 70 (S17).

The access token transmitted by the communication unit 52 is received by the communication unit 72 of the security server 70 (S18). On the other hand, the device control server 50 that has transmitted the access token shifts to the access permission mode (S19).

After that, the information processing section 71 of the security server 70 causes the communication section 72 to transmit the request information to the device control server 50 based on the operation of the operator (S20). The request information is information requesting at least one of control of the device 45 installed in the building 80 and acquisition of the state of the device 45 . The request information includes the access token received in step S18. Note that the request information does not necessarily include the access token, and may include information that cannot be generated without using the access token, such as information generated based on the access token. In other words, the request information should include information based on the access token (including the access token itself).

When the request information is received by the communication unit 52 of the device control server 50 (S21), the information processing unit 51 performs authentication processing (S22). FIG. 3 is a flowchart of authentication processing.

The information processing section 51 first determines whether or not the device control server 50 is in the access permission mode (S31). When the information processing unit 51 determines that the device control server 50 is in the access permission mode (Yes in S31), the access token included in the request information is the same access token as the access token transmitted in step S17 (in other words, a correct access token). access token) (S32). If the access token has an expiration date or a number of times of use, determination of the expiration date and the number of times of use is also made in step S32. In step S32, it is only necessary to determine whether or not information based on the access token transmitted in step S17 is included in the request information.

When the information processing unit 51 determines that the access token is the correct access token (Yes in S32), the information processing unit 51 transmits instruction information for instructing the device controller 40 to perform processing according to the request information to the communication unit 52 to the device controller 40. (S33). In other words, the instruction information is information for performing processing according to the request information (that is, at least one of control of the device 45 and acquisition of the state of the device 45 requested by the security server 70). The equipment controller 40 that has received the instruction information performs, for example, unlocking the electric lock of the door of the building 80 as the control of the equipment 45 according to the request information.

On the other hand, when the information processing unit 51 determines that the access permission mode is not set in step S31 (No in S31), and when it determines that the access token is not the correct access token in step S32 (No in S32), , does not cause the communication unit 52 to transmit the instruction information. In other words, the information processing section 51 does not perform processing according to the request information.

When the instruction information is transmitted as a result of the authentication process of step S22, the transmitted instruction information is received by the first communication unit 42 of the device controller 40 (S23). When the instruction information is received by the first communication unit 42, the first control unit 41 performs the processing instructed by the instruction information (that is, the control of the device 45 and the state of the device 45 requested by the security server 70). At least one of acquisition) is executed (S24). When acquiring the state of the device 45 , the device controller 40 transmits information indicating the state of the device 45 to the security server 70 via the device control server 50 .

As described above, in the cooperation system 10 , the device control server 50 transmits an access token to the security server 70 when an abnormality notification is received, and the security server 70 controls and controls the device 45 . It includes a communication unit 52 that receives request information requesting at least one of state acquisition, and an information processing unit 51 . When the access token is included in the request information, the information processing section 51 causes the communication section 52 to transmit instruction information for performing processing according to the request information to the device controller 40 .

Such a cooperation system 10 can grant access authority to the device control server 50 to the security server 70 upon receipt of the abnormality notification.

[Operation example 2]
In Operation Example 1, the abnormality notification transmitted by the security controller 60 was received by the device control server 50 via the security server 70 . However, the anomaly notification sent by the security controller 60 may be received by the device control server 50 via the device controller 40 . FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram of an operation example 2 of such a cooperation system 10. As shown in FIG.

In addition, in the following operation example 2, it is assumed that the ID of the security controller 60 is stored in advance in the first storage unit 43 of the device controller 40 .

First, the second control unit 61 of the security controller 60 detects the occurrence of an abnormality in the building 80 (S11). When the occurrence of an abnormality in the building 80 is detected, the second control section 61 causes the second communication section 62 to transmit an abnormality notification to the device controller 40 (S41).

The abnormality notification transmitted by the second communication unit 62 is received by the first communication unit 42 of the device controller 40 (S42). When the abnormality notification is received by the first communication section 42, the first control section 41 causes the first communication section 42 to transmit the abnormality notification to the device control server 50 (S43). The abnormality notification transmitted by the first communication unit 42 is received by the communication unit 52 of the device control server 50 (S44). Subsequent processing is the same as in the first operation example.

[Operation Example 3]
In the operation example 1, the safety of the building 80 is confirmed by a resident of the building 80 or a visitor dispatched by a business operator who operates the security system 30 after the security controller 60 has transmitted the abnormality notification. There is In such a case, the security controller 60 transmits an abnormality cancellation notification by operating the security controller 60 or the like. FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram of an operation example 3 of such a cooperation system 10. As shown in FIG.

The processes of steps S11 to S19 are the same as in the first operation example. After that, when the safety of the building is confirmed and the security controller 60 is operated, the second control unit 61 causes the second communication unit 62 to transmit the abnormality release notification to the security server 70 (S51).

The abnormality release notification transmitted by the second communication unit 62 is received by the communication unit 72 of the security server 70 (S52). When the communication unit 72 receives the abnormality cancellation notification, the information processing unit 71 causes the communication unit 72 to transmit the abnormality cancellation notification to the device control server 50 (S53).

When the abnormality release notification transmitted by the communication unit 72 is received by the communication unit 52 of the device control server 50 (S54), the device control server 50 that transmitted the access token cancels the access permission mode ( S55). The abnormality release notification may be received by the device control server 50 via the device controller 40 as in the second operation example.

After that, the information processing section 71 of the security server 70 causes the communication section 72 to transmit the request information for the inside of the building 80 to the device control server 50 based on the operation of the operator (S20). When the request information is received by the communication unit 52 of the device control server 50 (S21), the information processing unit 51 performs authentication processing (S22).

In the authentication process, if the request information is received while the access permission mode is canceled, the authentication fails (No in S31 of FIG. 3), and the instruction information is not transmitted. In other words, the information processing section 51 of the device control server 50 does not accept request information when the access permission mode is cancelled.

As described above, when the request information is received by the communication unit 52 after the communication unit 52 receives the abnormality release notification indicating that the abnormal state of the building 80 has been resolved, the information processing unit 51 receives the request. Even if the correct access token is included in the information, the process according to the request information is not performed.

Such a cooperation system 10 can grant access authority to the device control server 50 to the security server 70 only during a period in which the building 80 is estimated to be abnormal.

[Operation example 4]
As described above, when the security controller 60 detects the occurrence of an abnormality, a visitor dispatched by the operator of the security system 30 rushes to the building 80 . Then, a visitor who rushes to the building 80 may request control of the device 45 and acquisition of the state of the device 45 . In such a case, the access token may be generated triggered by an access token generation request sent by the second mobile terminal 66 operated by the visitor and capable of communicating with the security controller 60 . FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram of operation example 4 of such a cooperation system 10. As shown in FIG. The second mobile terminal 66 is a general-purpose mobile terminal such as a smart phone or a tablet terminal, but may be a dedicated terminal.

The processes of steps S11 to S15 are the same as in the first operation example. After that, the second portable terminal 66 receives a predetermined operation from the visitor (S61), and transmits an access token generation request to the security controller 60 (S62).

The generation request transmitted by the second mobile terminal 66 is received by the second communication unit 62 of the security controller 60 (S63). When the generation request is received by the second communication unit 62, the second control unit 61 causes the second communication unit 62 to transmit the generation request to the device controller 40 (S64).

The generation request transmitted by the second communication unit 62 is received by the first communication unit 42 of the device controller 40 (S65). When the generation request is received by the first communication unit 42, the first control unit 41 causes the first communication unit 42 to transmit the generation request to the device control server 50 (S66).

The generation request transmitted by the first communication unit 42 is received by the communication unit 52 of the device control server 50 (S67). When the generation request is received by the communication unit 52, the information processing unit 51 generates an access token (S16) and causes the communication unit 52 to transmit the generated access token to the security server 70 (S17). Subsequent processing is the same as in the first operation example.

As described above, the communication unit 52 of the device control server 50 responds to an access token generation request transmitted by the second mobile terminal 66 capable of communicating with the security controller 60 when receiving an anomaly notification. Send the access token to the server 70 .

Such a cooperation system 10 can give access authority to the device control server 50 to the security server 70 in response to a request from a visitor who has rushed to the building 80 operating the second mobile terminal 66 .

It should be noted that, in the operation example 4 above, the second mobile terminal 66 transmits the access token generation request to the security controller 60 . However, the second mobile terminal 66 may communicate with the device controller 40 or the device control server 50 and transmit an access token generation request to the device controller 40 or the device control server 50 .

In Operation Example 1, the anomaly notification was sent to the communication unit 52 of the device control server 50 when the security controller 60 detected an anomaly in the building 80 . However, the anomaly notification may be sent to the communication unit 52 of the device control server 50 when the device controller 40 detects an anomaly in the building 80 . FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram of an operation example 5 of such a cooperation system 10. As shown in FIG.

First, the first control unit 41 of the equipment controller 40 detects the occurrence of an abnormality in the building 80 (S71). For example, if a device having the same function as the sensor 65 is used as the device 45 , the first control unit 41 can detect the occurrence of abnormality in the building 80 using the device 45 . When the occurrence of an abnormality in the building 80 is detected, the first control unit 41 causes the first communication unit 42 to transmit an abnormality notification to the device control server 50 (S72).

When the abnormality notification transmitted by the first communication unit 42 is received by the communication unit 52 of the device control server 50 (S73), the information processing unit 51 generates an access token (S16). Then, the information processing section 51 causes the communication section 52 to transmit the generated access token (S17). Subsequent processing is the same as in the first operation example.

As described above, the anomaly notification may be sent to the communication unit 52 when the equipment controller 40 detects an anomaly in the building 80 . Such a cooperation system 10 can reduce the amount of communication until an abnormality notification reaches the device control server 50 .

[Operation example 6]
In operation example 5, the anomaly notification is not sent to the security server 70, but the anomaly notification may be sent to the security server 70. FIG. FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram of an operation example 6 of such a cooperation system 10. As shown in FIG.

First, the first control unit 41 of the equipment controller 40 detects the occurrence of an abnormality in the building 80 (S81). When the occurrence of an abnormality in the building 80 is detected, the first control section 41 causes the first communication section 42 to transmit an abnormality notification to the security controller 60 (S82). The abnormality notification transmitted by the first communication unit 42 is received by the second communication unit 62 of the security controller 60 (S83). When the second communication unit 62 receives the abnormality notification, the second control unit 61 causes the second communication unit 62 to transmit the abnormality notification to the security server 70 (S84). The abnormality notification transmitted by the second communication unit 62 is received by the communication unit 72 of the security server 70 .

Further, when the occurrence of an abnormality in the building 80 is detected, the first control section 41 causes the first communication section 42 to transmit an abnormality notification to the device control server 50 (S86). When the abnormality notification transmitted by the first communication unit 42 is received by the communication unit 52 of the device control server 50 (S87), the information processing unit 51 generates an access token (S16). Then, the information processing section 51 causes the communication section 52 to transmit the generated access token to the security server 70 (S17). Subsequent processing is the same as in the first operation example.

As described above, when the equipment controller 40 detects an abnormality in the building 80, the abnormality notification may be sent not only to the communication unit 52 of the equipment control server 50 but also to the communication unit 72 of the security server 70. good. Such a cooperation system 10 can notify the security server 70 of the occurrence of an abnormality even when the device controller 40 detects an abnormality.

[Operation example 7]
As described above, when the security controller 60 detects the occurrence of an abnormality, a visitor dispatched by the operator of the security system 30 rushes to the building 80 . Then, a visitor rushing to the building 80 may want to unlock the door of the building 80 . Generally, in such a case, the visitor needs to go to a predetermined place to pick up the key of the door of the building 80 in advance. By operating the terminal 66, the visitor can also be authorized to unlock the door of the building 80. FIG. FIG. 9 is a first sequence diagram of an operation example 7 of such a cooperation system 10. As shown in FIG. In addition, in the following description of Operation Example 7, it is assumed that the second portable terminal 66 can communicate with the device control server 50 and the device controller.

Steps S11 to S19 are the same as in the first operation example. After that, the information processing section 71 of the security server 70 performs a process of selecting the mobile terminal of the visitor (S91). Business operators that operate the security system 30 have visitors (in other words, security guards) standing by at various locations to rush to the building when an abnormality occurs in the building. Therefore, when an abnormality occurs in the building 80, the security server 70 selects a visitor's mobile terminal that is considered to be located near the building 80 from a plurality of mobile terminal candidates registered in advance, and selects the mobile terminal. The access token is transmitted to the mobile terminal (here, it is assumed that the second mobile terminal 66 is selected) (S92).

This selection is made, for example, based on the visitor's schedule information (information indicating which visitor is waiting at which place in which time zone and which portable terminal they have) stored in the storage unit 73 in advance. will be The selection may be made based on current location information acquired by the security server 70 periodically acquiring the current location information of each visitor's mobile terminal from the mobile terminal. The current location information of the mobile terminal is measured by, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) module included in the mobile terminal.

Upon receiving the access token (S93), the second mobile terminal 66 transmits request information including the access token to the device control server 50 (S94). When the request information is received by the communication unit 52 of the device control server 50 (S95), the information processing unit 51 performs authentication processing (S22). When the instruction information is transmitted as a result of the authentication process, the transmitted instruction information is received by the first communication unit 42 of the device controller 40 (S23), and the first control unit 41 performs the processing instructed by the instruction information. (In this case, unlocking the electric lock of the building 80) is executed (S24).

Note that the authentication process in step S<b>21 may be performed by the device controller 40 . FIG. 10 is a second sequence diagram of operation example 7 of such a linkage system 10 .

Steps S11 to S18 are almost the same as in Operation Example 1, but in step S17 the access token is also transmitted to the device controller 40, and the first communication unit 42 of the device controller 40 receives this (S101). The received access token is stored in the first storage unit 43 . The device controller 40 that has received the access token shifts to the access permission mode (S102).

After that, the information processing unit 71 of the security server 70 performs a process of selecting the mobile terminal of the visitor (S91), and sends the access token to the selected mobile terminal (here, the second mobile terminal 66 is selected). is transmitted (S92).

When the second mobile terminal 66 receives the access token (S93), it transmits request information including the access token to the device controller 40 (S103). The communication performed between the second mobile terminal 66 and the device controller 40 at this time is, for example, relatively short-distance wireless communication that does not involve a wide area communication network such as the Internet. In other words, this communication is performed when the visitor carries the second portable terminal 66 and approaches the building 80 .

When the request information is received by the first communication unit 42 of the device controller 40 (S104), the first control unit 41 performs authentication processing (S105). When it is determined in the authentication process that the access token included in the request information is the same as the access token stored in the first storage unit 43 (that is, the authentication succeeds), the first control unit 41 performs the The instructed process (in this case, unlocking the electric lock of the building 80) is executed (S106).

As described above, in Operation Example 7, when an abnormality occurs, the electric lock of the building 80 can be unlocked using the second portable terminal 66 possessed by the visitor who belongs to the operator who operates the security system 30. can.

[Operation Example 8]
The first sequence diagram (FIG. 9) of Operation Example 7 may be combined with Operation Example 4 (FIG. 6). FIG. 11 is a first sequence diagram of an operation example 8 of such a cooperation system 10. As shown in FIG.

In FIG. 11, the processing from step S11 to step S19 is almost the same as in operation example 4. In operation example 4, an access token generation request is sent to the device control server 50 via the security controller 60 and the device controller 40. (S62-S67), whereas in FIG. 11, it is sent to the device control server 50 via the security server 70 (S111-S114).

The processing after step S91, which is performed after step S19, is the same as in the first sequence diagram (FIG. 9) of operation example 7. FIG.

Further, the second sequence diagram (FIG. 10) of Operation Example 7 may be combined with Operation Example 4 (FIG. 6). FIG. 12 is a second sequence diagram of an operation example 8 of such a cooperation system 10. As shown in FIG.

In FIG. 12, the processing of steps S11 to S19 is the same as in FIG. 11, but in step S17 the access token is also transmitted to the device controller 40, and the first communication unit 42 of the device controller 40 receives it (S101 ). The received access token is stored in the first storage unit 43 . The device controller 40 that has received the access token shifts to the access permission mode (S102).

The processing after step S91, which is performed after step S19, is the same as in the second sequence diagram (FIG. 10) of operation example 7. FIG.

According to Operation Example 8 as described above, a visitor who belongs to the business operator who operates the security system 30 can obtain the authority to unlock the electric lock of the building 80 by operating the second mobile terminal 66 . .

[Modification]
By the way, it is assumed that the security server 70 that has received the access token does not want to be authorized to control all the devices 45 controlled by the device control server 50 (device controller 40). Therefore, the user may be able to set how much authority is given to the security server 70 regarding the control of the device 45 . Specifically, the user can make a setting such that control of lighting equipment is permitted, but control of air conditioning equipment is not permitted. In addition, the user can make a setting such that acquisition of the status of the device 45 is permitted, but control of the device 45 is not permitted.

Such settings are made by the user via, for example, a user interface included in the device controller 40 or the first mobile terminal 46 . The setting contents are transmitted to the device control server 50 as setting information and stored in the storage unit 53 .

In this way, the storage unit 53 stores the setting information indicating the process permitted to be executed as the process corresponding to the request information received in step S21. When the request information requests a process that is not permitted, the information processing unit 51 does not perform the process even if the request information includes a correct access token.

Such a cooperation system 10 can set how much authority is given to the security server 70 by means of an access token.

[Effects, etc.]
As described above, the device control server 50 is an example of a control system that controls the device 45 . When the device control server 50 receives a predetermined notification, the device control server 50 transmits an access token to the security server 70 different from the device control server 50, and requests the security server 70 to control the device 45 and obtain the status of the device 45. It comprises a communication unit 52 that receives request information requesting at least one, and an information processing unit 51 . The information processing unit 51 causes the communication unit 52 to transmit information for performing processing according to the request information when information based on the access token is included in the request information, and transmits information to the communication unit 52 when the request information does not include the access token. , does not perform processing according to the requested information. The security server 70 is an example of an information processing system, and the access token is an example of authentication information.

Such a device control server 50 can grant authority such as control of the device 45 to the security server 70 upon receipt of a predetermined notification.

Further, for example, the predetermined notification includes an anomaly notification indicating that an anomaly has occurred in the building 80 in which the device 45 is installed.

Such a device control server 50 can grant authority such as control of the device 45 to the security server 70 upon receipt of the anomaly notification.

Further, for example, in the building 80, a device controller 40 that can communicate with the device control server 50 is installed. A predetermined notification is sent to the communication unit 52 when the equipment controller 40 detects an abnormality in the building 80 . The device controller 40 is an example of a first control device.

Since such a device control server 50 can receive an anomaly notification without going through the security system 30, it is possible to reduce the amount of communication for receiving the anomaly notification.

Also, for example, a security controller 60 that can communicate with the security server 70 is installed in the building 80 . A predetermined notification is sent to the communication unit 52 when the security controller 60 detects an abnormality in the building 80 . Security controller 60 is an example of a second control device.

Such a device control server 50 can receive a notice of anomaly in the building 80 without going through the security server 70, so it is possible to reduce the amount of communication for receiving an anomaly notice.

Also, for example, the communication unit 52 transmits an access token to the security server 70 in response to an access token generation request transmitted by the second mobile terminal 66 . An access token generation request is an example of an authentication information request.

Such a device control server 50 grants the security server 70 authority to control the device 45 at the request of a person who operates the second portable terminal 66 (for example, a visitor who has rushed to the building 80). can be done.

Further, for example, when the request information is received by the communication unit 52 after the communication unit 52 receives an abnormality release notification indicating that the abnormal state of the building 80 has been resolved, the information processing unit 51 sets the request information to Even if the information based on the access token is included, do not process according to the request information.

Such a device control server 50 can authorize the security server 70 to control the device 45 only during a period in which it is estimated that an abnormality has occurred in the building 80 .

Further, for example, the storage unit 53 further includes a storage unit 53 that stores setting information indicating a process permitted to be executed as a process corresponding to the request information.

Such a device control server 50 can set how much authority is given to the security server 70 by means of an access token.

Also, for example, the security server 70 is a system that performs predetermined information processing for coping with the occurrence of an abnormality when it is detected that an abnormality has occurred in the building 80 .

Such a device control server 50 authorizes the security server 70, which performs predetermined information processing for coping with the occurrence of an abnormality, to control the devices 45 when it is detected that an abnormality has occurred in the building 80. be able to.

The security server 70 also includes a communication unit 72 that receives an access token transmitted by a device control server 50 that is different from the security server 70 and that has received a predetermined notification, and a control unit 72 that controls the device control server 50 . and an information processing unit 71 that causes the communication unit 72 to transmit request information requesting at least one of control of the target device 45 and acquisition of the state of the device 45 . The request information includes information based on the access token. In this case, the security server 70 is an example of an information processing system, and the device control server 50 is an example of a control system. An access token is an example of authentication information.

Such a security server 70 can acquire authority such as control of the device 45 when the device control server 50 receives a predetermined notification.

The present invention may be implemented as a program for causing a computer to function as the device control server 50 or as a program for causing a computer to function as the security server 70 .

(Embodiment 2)
[composition]
In the second embodiment, an operation performed by the security system 30 alone when an abnormality occurs will be described. Note that, as shown in FIG. 13, in the second embodiment, the security controller 60 has a function of controlling equipment (specifically, the electric lock 67). FIG. 13 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the cooperation system 10 assumed in the second embodiment.

[Operation example 1]
As described above, when the security controller 60 detects the occurrence of an abnormality, a visitor dispatched by the operator of the security system 30 rushes to the building 80 . In the second embodiment, the security system 30 alone gives the second mobile terminal 66 the authority to unlock the electric lock 67 so that a visitor who rushes to the building 80 can unlock the door of the building 80. The operation to give will be explained. FIG. 14 is a sequence diagram of operation example 1 of the security system 30 according to the second embodiment.

First, the second control unit 61 of the security controller 60 detects the occurrence of an abnormality in the building 80 (S201). For example, when an intruder into the building 80 is detected by the sensor 65 while the alert mode is enabled by the user, the second control unit 61 determines that an abnormality has occurred in the building 80 ( detection). When the occurrence of an abnormality in the building 80 is detected, the second control section 61 causes the second communication section 62 to transmit an abnormality notification to the security server 70 (S202).

The abnormality notification transmitted by the second communication unit 62 is received by the communication unit 72 of the security server 70 (S203). When the communication unit 72 receives the abnormality notification, the information processing unit 71 performs a process of selecting the mobile terminal of the visitor (S204). Business operators that operate the security system 30 have visitors (in other words, security guards) standing by at various locations to rush to the building when an abnormality occurs in the building. Therefore, when an abnormality occurs in the building 80, a visitor's mobile terminal (specifically, a second mobile terminal) that is considered to be located near the building 80 from among a plurality of mobile terminal candidates registered in advance is selected. 66). That is, when receiving an anomaly notification, the information processing unit 71, based on the current positions of the plurality of mobile terminals (more specifically, the distance between each of the plurality of mobile terminal candidates and the building 80), A second mobile terminal 66 is selected from a plurality of mobile terminal candidates.

This selection is made, for example, based on the visitor's schedule information (information indicating which visitor is waiting at which place in which time zone and which portable terminal they have) stored in the storage unit 73 in advance. will be The above selection may be made based on the acquired current location information by the communication unit 72 of the security server 70 periodically acquiring the current location information of each visitor's mobile terminal from the mobile terminal. The current location information of the mobile terminal is measured by, for example, a GPS module provided in the mobile terminal.

Note that the number of multiple mobile terminal candidates may be changed according to a contract between the resident of the building 80 and the business operator that operates the security system 30 . For example, the higher the amount a resident pays for a contract, the more mobile terminal candidates there are (in other words, the more visitors are targeted).

Next, the information processing section 71 generates an access token for temporarily granting the authority to unlock the electric lock 67 to the second mobile terminal 66 (S205). An access token is an example of authentication information. The access token may have an expiration date or a number of times of use (for example, valid only once). Then, the information processing section 71 causes the communication section 72 to transmit the generated access token to the security controller 60 (S206).

The access token transmitted by the communication unit 72 is received by the second communication unit 62 of the security controller 60 (S207). The received access token is stored in the second storage unit 63 .

The information processing unit 71 also causes the communication unit 72 to transmit an abnormality notification including the generated access token to the second mobile terminal 66 (that is, the mobile terminal selected in step S204) (S208). When the second mobile terminal 66 receives the anomaly notification (S209), it stores the access token included in the anomaly notification in the storage unit provided in the second mobile terminal 66, and outputs an image, sound, etc. in response to the anomaly notification. to prompt the visitor to head to building 80 . As a result, the second portable terminal 66 moves near the building 80 together with the visitor (S210).

After that, the second mobile terminal 66 receives the visitor's predetermined operation (S211), and transmits request information including the access token (more specifically, the access token received in step S209) to the security controller 60. (S212). The communication performed between the second mobile terminal 66 and the security controller 60 at this time is, for example, relatively short-range wireless communication that does not involve a wide area communication network such as the Internet. In other words, this communication is performed when the visitor carries the second portable terminal 66 and approaches the building 80 .

The method of transmitting the request information to the security controller 60 is not particularly limited. For example, when the second portable terminal 66 is held over the electric lock 67 , an access token may be transmitted to the security controller 60 via the electric lock 67 .

In addition, the request information does not necessarily include the access token, and may include information that cannot be generated without using the access token, such as information generated based on the access token. In other words, the request information should include information based on the access token (including the access token itself).

When the request information is received by the second communication unit 62 of the security controller 60 (S213), the first control unit 41 performs authentication processing (S214). In the authentication process, it is determined that the access token included in the request information is the same as the access token stored in the second storage unit 63 (that is, the access token received in step S207) (that is, authentication succeeds) Then, the second control unit 61 executes the process instructed by the request information (S215). Specifically, the processing instructed by the request information is unlocking of the electric lock 67 of the building 80, but as in the first embodiment, at least one of device control and device status acquisition may be performed. good. If the request information does not include the access token received in step S207, no processing is performed according to the request information. Also, in the authentication process, it is only necessary to determine whether or not information based on the access token is included in the request information.

According to Operation Example 1 as described above, the security system 30 alone can give the visitor the authority to unlock the door of the building 80 .

[Operation example 2]
If each of the plurality of mobile terminal candidates holds a unique access token in advance, and if the security server 70 manages access tokens for each of the plurality of mobile terminal candidates using management information, the second mobile terminal It is not necessary to provide terminal 66 with an access token. FIG. 15 is a sequence diagram of operation example 2 of the security system 30 according to the second embodiment.

Steps S201 to S204 are the same as in the first operation example. After selecting the second mobile terminal 66 in step S204, the access token corresponding to the second mobile terminal 66 is specified by referring to the management information pre-stored in the storage unit 73 (S216). Thereafter, the information processing section 71 causes the communication section 72 to transmit the specified access token to the security controller 60 (S206).

The access token transmitted by the communication unit 72 is received by the second communication unit 62 of the security controller 60 (S207). The received access token is stored in the second storage unit 63 .

The information processing unit 71 also causes the communication unit 72 to transmit an abnormality notification that does not include the access token to the second mobile terminal 66 (S217). Upon receiving the abnormality notification (S209), the second mobile terminal 66 prompts the visitor to go to the building 80 by outputting an image and sound in response to the abnormality notification. As a result, the second portable terminal 66 moves near the building 80 together with the visitor (S210).

After that, the second mobile terminal 66 receives a predetermined operation from the visitor (S211), and transmits request information including the pre-stored access token to the security controller 60 (S217). Subsequent processing is the same as in the first operation example.

According to Operation Example 2 as described above, it is possible to give the visitor the authority to unlock the door of the building 80 while omitting the provision of the access token to the second portable terminal 66 .

[Effects, etc.]
As described above, in the operation example 1 of the second embodiment, the security system 30 includes the communication unit 72 that transmits an access token to the second mobile terminal 66 when a predetermined notification is received, and the second A second communication unit 62 for receiving request information requesting at least one of device control and device status acquisition from a mobile terminal 66 and a second control unit 61 . When the request information includes information based on the access token, the second control unit 61 causes the second communication unit 62 to transmit information for performing processing according to the request information, and the access token is included in the request information. If not, the processing according to the request information is not performed. Security system 30 is an example of an information processing system. The device is, for example, an electric lock 67 .

Such a security system 30 can grant authority such as device control to the second mobile terminal 66 .

Further, in the operation example 2 of the second embodiment, when a predetermined notification is received, request information requesting at least one of device control and device status acquisition is received from a mobile terminal having authentication information in advance. A second communication unit 62 and a second control unit 61 are provided. When the request information includes information based on the access token, the second control unit 61 causes the second communication unit 62 to transmit information for performing processing according to the request information, and the access token is included in the request information. If not, the processing according to the request information is not performed. Security system 30 is an example of an information processing system. The device is, for example, an electric lock 67 .

Such a security system 30 can grant authority such as device control to the second mobile terminal 66 .

Further, when a predetermined notification is received, the second control unit 61 performs a process of selecting the second mobile terminal 66 from among multiple mobile terminal candidates.

Such a security system 30 can authorize the selected second mobile terminal 66 to control the device.

Further, when a predetermined notification is received, the second control unit 61 performs a process of selecting the second mobile terminal 66 from among multiple mobile terminal candidates based on the positions of the multiple mobile terminals.

Such a security system 30 can select the mobile terminal closest to the building 80 as the second mobile terminal 66 .
