[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 changes in the health condition 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 of the resident J. It is sent to the e-mail address of a relative (hereinafter referred to as a watcher) or 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 emits a sound that notifies the occurrence of an abnormality or a message when there is a change in the health condition of the resident J, for example. 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, which is the time 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.

Aggregating means 2002 aggregates the operation history 2005 stored in the storage unit 202 . At this time, the operation history 2005 is aggregated so that, for example, the trend of operations performed by the resident J to switch the security mode can be grasped. For example, in the operation history 2005, the number of operations performed for each predetermined period is totaled for each operation time. Also, in this tally, an average time at which operations are performed 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 health condition of the resident J based on the change in the tendency of the operation indicated by the tallied result of the operation history 2005 . Specifically, the determination unit 2003 compares the past tally result and the current tally result to detect a change in the tendency of the operation. The past tally results show the tendency of the resident J's operations during normal times. On the other hand, the tally result this time shows the tendency of the operation of the resident J at present. This change in tendency of operations may include at least one of a change in the number of operations performed, a change in times at which operations were performed, and a change in the distribution of times at which operations were performed. For example, when the aggregation result indicates that there is a predetermined change in the number of times the operation was performed, the time at which the operation was performed, or the tendency of the distribution of the time at which the operation was performed, a change in health condition is determined. be. It should be noted that the "health condition" referred to here includes the physical condition and the mental condition. Changes in physical state include changes in physical state such as the onset of certain diseases, manifestation of physical weakness, and injuries, and changes in mental state include depression, onset of dementia, and Symptoms include frequent or persistent feelings of depression, low mood, anxiety, fear, and lethargy. Further, different types of changes in the health condition may be determined according to the combination of the target security mode and the type of change in the operation tendency among the four security modes. 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 content that conveys a change in health condition, or may have content that suggests coping with the change in health condition. Also, this message may have different contents depending on the type of change in the health condition determined by the determining means 2003 . The message may be sent using e-mail, or may be sent using a message function of SNS (social networking service). The predetermined destinations include destinations related to the watcher and destinations related to the resident J, for example. For example, the e-mail address of the watcher may be used as the destination related to the watcher. For the destination related to resident J, for example, resident J's e-mail address or the communication address of controller 10 may be used. Also, the destination of the message may be selected according to the type of change in the health condition determined by the determining means 2003 .

(Example of operation of embodiment)
Next, an operation example when determining a change in the health condition 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 transmission 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.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing an example of the flow of processing for judging and notifying a change in the resident J's health condition. The process of FIG. 5 is executed at predetermined time intervals, such as once a week or once a month. 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 S11). For example, using the operation history 2005, the counting means 2002 counts the number of times an operation to set the security mode of the target and an operation to cancel the security mode of the target are performed for each time at which these operations are performed. Also, the counting means 2002 calculates the average time at which these operations are performed. 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 result for the period before the target period. Subsequently, the determination unit 2003 determines whether or not there is a change in the health condition of the resident J based on the change in the tendency of the operation of the resident J indicated by the tallied result of the operation history 2005 (step S12). If it is determined that there is no change in the health condition of the resident J (step S12: NO), this process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is a change in the health condition of resident J (step S12: YES), transmitting means 2004 transmits a message corresponding to the change in health condition to a predetermined destination (step S13). Here, it is assumed that the e-mail address of the watcher of resident J is registered as the destination of the message. For example, when sending a message to a destination related to a watcher, the identification number included in the mode information related to the operation history 2005 is specified, and the electronic message of the watcher of the resident J linked to the identified controller 10 identification number is sent. By reading the mail address from the storage unit 202, the destination of the message is obtained. The message is then sent to this 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 the tallied result of the operation history 2005. As shown in FIG. FIG. 6 shows the results of counting the number of times the operation to set the outing mode and the operation to cancel the outing mode were performed in each of the target period and the reference period for each time when those operations were performed. there is In FIG. 6, the horizontal axis indicates time, and the vertical axis indicates the number of times. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the target period is one week from August 15th to August 21st, and the reference period is one week from August 1st to August 7th, which is two weeks before the target period. . Here, it is assumed that the total number of operations for setting the outing mode during the reference period is 7 times. Also, it is assumed that the average start time of the outing mode is 12:00 and the average end time is 18:00 in the reference period. This indicates that in normal times, resident J has a habit of going out around 12:00 and coming home around 18:00.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, the number of operations for setting the outing mode is seven times during the reference period, while the number of operations for setting the outing mode is reduced to four times during the target period. ing. In this way, when the number of times the resident J has performed an operation to set the outing mode tends to decrease, it is considered that the frequency with which the resident J goes out is decreasing. In this case, in step S12 described above, for example, it is determined that the health condition of resident J is such that going out is troublesome (step S12: YES). On the other hand, a message that suggests going out, such as "Would you like to go out?", may be sent.

In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 6, the start time of the outing mode was concentrated around 12:00 during the reference period, whereas the starting time of the outing mode was from past 12:00 to past 24:00 during the target period. It is dispersed in between. The dispersed state here means that the variance value (or standard deviation) of the frequency distribution of the start times of the outing mode increases. In this way, when the distribution of times when the operation to set the outing mode is performed tends to change from a concentrated state to a dispersed state, it is considered that the life of the resident J is disordered and irregular. In this case, in step S12 described above, for example, it is determined that the health condition of the resident J has become such that he cannot lead a regular life (step S12: YES), and in step S13, the content corresponding to this change in health condition is changed. A message may be sent to a predetermined destination. Specifically, a message such as "Resident J's health condition is disturbed. Why don't you contact him?"

Furthermore, in the example shown in FIG. 6, the number of operations for setting the outing mode during the midnight hours from 22:00 to 5:00 is zero in the reference period, whereas in the target period it is midnight. The number of times that the operation to set the outing mode was performed during the time period is two. In this way, when the operation to set the outing mode is performed in the middle of the night, it is considered that the resident J cannot sleep at night and goes out in the middle of the night. In this case, in step S12 described above, for example, it is determined that the health condition of the resident J has become such that he cannot sleep at night (step S12: YES), and in step S13, a message with content corresponding to this change in health condition is displayed. It may be sent to a predetermined destination. Specifically, a message such as "There has been an increase in people going out late at night. Why don't you contact them?"

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing another example of the tallied result of the operation history 2005. As shown in FIG. FIG. 7 shows the results of totaling the number of times the operation to set the partial set mode and the operation to cancel the partial set mode were performed in each of the target period and the reference period for each time when these operations were performed. It is In FIG. 7, the horizontal axis indicates time, and the vertical axis indicates the number of times. In the example shown in FIG. 7, 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. It's been months. Here, it is assumed that the total number of operations for setting the partial set mode during the reference period is 30 times. It is also assumed that the average start time of the partial set mode in the reference period is 21:00 and the average end time is 6:00 the next day. This indicates that in normal times, the resident J has a habit of setting the partial set mode at around 21:00 before going to bed, and getting up at around 6:00 the next day to cancel the partial set mode.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, the number of operations for setting the partial set mode is 30 times during the reference period, while the number of operations for setting the partial set mode is 10 times during the target period. is decreasing. In this way, when the number of times the resident J performed the operation to set the partial set mode tends to decrease, it is considered that the resident J frequently forgets to set the partial set mode before going to bed. In this case, in step S12 described above, it is determined that the health condition of resident J has become forgetful (step S12: YES). Did you forget to do it?" may be sent as a reminder of setting the partial set mode. Also, the message may be transmitted to the communication address of the controller 10 and the message may be reproduced by voice from the speaker of the controller 10 . Furthermore, if the situation is not improved even after sending messages to resident J multiple times, a message suggesting a wait-and-see approach may be sent to the monitoring center 4 or a destination related to the resident J's watcher.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, the average end time of the partial set mode is 6:00 in the reference period, whereas the average end time of the partial set mode is delayed by 12:00 in the target period. In this way, when the time at which the resident J performs the operation to cancel the partial set mode tends to be delayed, it is considered that the resident J is unable to get up early in the morning due to, for example, a weakened body. In this case, in step S12 described above, it is determined that the health condition of resident J has made it difficult to wake up in the morning (step S12: YES), and in step S13, the address related to the watcher of resident J is sent to the address "Please check on me." Would you like to go?”, a message suggesting that the resident J go to see how the resident J is doing may be transmitted.

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".

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 history of operations to switch the security mode by resident J, and a message corresponding to the determination result is sent to a predetermined destination. Therefore, even if a large number of dedicated sensors for detecting the change in the health condition of the resident J are not provided, the predetermined addressee can recognize that the health condition of the resident J has changed. In addition, since the state of resident J is determined from the history of operations to switch the security mode, it is possible to notify the person watching the change in the state of health of resident J without making resident J feel the psychological burden of being monitored. can. In addition, the type of change in health condition is determined according to the combination of the target security mode and the type of change in operation tendency, and a message with different contents is transmitted depending on the type of change in health condition. A person at a given destination can recognize how his/her 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 above-described embodiment, a change in the state of health of the resident J may be determined based on a change in time from when the guard mode was started until when it was finished. In this case, the tallying unit 2002 uses the operation history 2005 to calculate the average set time from when the operation to set the security mode of the object is performed to when the operation to cancel the security mode is performed. The judging means 2003 judges the change in the health condition of the resident J based on the change in the average set time.

For example, it is assumed that the average setting time of going-out mode is 6 hours in the reference period, while the average setting time of going-out mode is reduced to 2 hours in the target period. In this way, when the setting time of the outing mode tends to decrease, it is considered that the outing time of the resident J is shortened. In this case, in step S12 described above, it is determined that the health condition of resident J, for example, is such that going out is troublesome (step S12: YES). may be sent. On the other hand, for example, it is assumed that the average setting time of going-out mode is 6 hours during the reference period, while the average setting time of going-out mode increases to 8 hours during the target period. In this way, when the setting time of the outing mode tends to increase, it is considered that the resident J takes time to move due to, for example, a decrease in leg strength, injury, or the like. In this case, in step S12 described above, for example, it is determined that the health condition of resident J has become such that it takes time to move (step S12: YES). may be sent.

Also, for example, it is assumed that the average setting time of the partial set mode is 9 hours during the reference period, while the average setting time of the partial set mode is reduced to 4 hours during the target period. In this way, when the set time of the partial set mode tends to decrease, it is considered that the sleep of the resident J has become light. In this case, in step S12 described above, for example, it is determined that the health condition of resident J has become light sleep (step S12: YES), and in step S13, a message corresponding to this change in health condition may be transmitted. . On the other hand, for example, it is assumed that the average setting time of the partial set mode is 9 hours during the reference period, while the average setting time of the partial set mode increases to 12 hours during the target period. In this way, when the set time of the partial set mode tends to increase, it is considered that, for example, the resident J became unable to get up early in the morning. In this case, in step S12 described above, for example, it is determined that the health condition of resident J has become difficult to wake up in the morning (step S12: YES), and in step S13, a message corresponding to this change in health condition may be transmitted.

In the above-described embodiment, the security mode targeted in the example shown in FIG. 7 is not limited to the partial set mode. For example, if the resident J has a habit of using the home monitoring mode instead of the partial set mode at bedtime, the home monitoring mode may be used instead of the partial set mode.

In the above-described embodiments, the reference period is not limited to the period one or two periods before 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 health 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 health changes described above are determined. For example, when any of the changes in the health condition described above is determined, the health condition of the resident J is determined as follows: "There is a possibility that the health condition has deteriorated. Would you like to make a phone call?" A message may be sent that notifies that there is a possibility that the resident J is getting worse or that the resident J is contacted.

In the above-described embodiment, the destination of the message is not limited to the destination related to the resident J's watcher or the destination related to the resident J. The destination of the message 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 . Also, if the destination of the message is the communication address of the controller 10 , the message may be displayed on the display unit 103 . Thereby, the resident J can recognize the change of his own health condition.

In the above-described embodiment, the center device 20 determines the change in the health condition of the resident J, but the controller 10 accumulates the operation history 2005, and the controller 10 determines the change in the health condition of the resident J. may be Alternatively, a configuration may be adopted in which a terminal installed in the residence 3 separate from the controller 10 determines the change in the health condition 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 above-described cloud server, and the cloud server may determine changes in the resident J's health condition.

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.
