The control unit 53e determines the state of the resident based on whether there is a change in the locked/unlocked state. Here, with reference to FIG. 10, a flow of determining the resident's condition will be described.

In step S21, it is determined whether at least one of the crescents 9 in each room (including the terrace window in the living room) has been locked or unlocked, and if the locking or unlocking operation has been performed, the number of operations is performed in step S22. "1" is added to , and the process moves to step S23. On the other hand, in step S21, if the crescent 9 in any room has not been locked or unlocked, the process moves to step S23.
In step S23, it is determined whether or not a predetermined set number of days has elapsed, and if the set number of days has elapsed, the process moves to step S24, and if the set number of days has not elapsed, the resident's status End the decision flow. The predetermined set number of days is an arbitrary number of days, and is, for example, two or three days if the resident has no plans to go out for a trip or the like. Set the number of days to 2 days by confirming that the window will be opened and closed once every two days for cleaning and ventilation.

In step S24, it is determined whether the number of locking or unlocking operations is zero. If the locking or unlocking operation is performed even once, the number of operations is not zero, so the process moves to step S25, and after a normal notification is sent, the number of operations at step S22 is reset at step S26.
On the other hand, if the number of operations is zero in step S24, the resident is notified that there is an abnormality as lock/unlock information (step S4 in FIG. 13), and the process ends.

As shown in FIG. 11, the controller 53 is installed indoors and centrally controls the opening/closing signals of the entrance door and other windows in addition to the opening building material 1. In this embodiment, the controller 53 is provided in the living room, and receives locking/unlocking information from the window locking/unlocking detection unit 54 of other rooms in addition to the crescent 9 according to the present embodiment. Centralized management.
As shown in FIG. 8, the management server 57 is a server of a management company that manages the door lock management system 51, and is mutually connected to a communication terminal 59 and a service server 61 via a communication circuit.
The communication terminal 59 is a smartphone, mobile notebook computer, or the like held by a homeowner or the like.
The service server 61 is a server of a security company or the like.

With reference to FIG. 9, the control flow of the door lock management system 51 will be described.
When the operating unit 19 is locked or unlocked, the detection state of the magnetic sensor 31 changes, so in step S1, the magnetic sensor 31 transmits locking/unlocking information to the controller 53 via the communication control unit 33. . Lock/unlock information transmission is transmission of a lock signal or an unlock signal. The communication control unit 33 of the Crescent also performs periodic transmission of the status in step S2. The periodic transmission of the status is the transmission of a locking signal or an unlocking signal received by the magnet sensor 31 at a predetermined time set in advance.
At the predetermined time when scheduled calls are made, the notification interval can be changed from the operation screen of the communication terminal, etc., based on hearings from the homeowner, family, etc. Further, the homeowner, family, etc. may adjust the notification interval for each month or season based on past operation status. Furthermore, based on the operation history of each opening building material 1, it grasps the daily life (operation) rhythm for each year, month, season, and hour, and reports and sets an appropriate notification interval for each opening building material 1. The interval etc. may be determined or changed. Furthermore, the operation history data may be automatically analyzed and the setting interval may be automatically adjusted to an appropriate setting interval.

When the controller 53 receives the lock/unlock information in step S3, it transmits the lock/unlock information to the management server 57 in step S4. The locking/unlocking information in step S3 and step S4 is recorded in the locking/unlocking frequency recording section 53b (see FIG. 8) in addition to the current locking/unlocking state recorded in the locking/unlocking state recording section 53a (see FIG. 8). It also includes information on the number of times the locking/unlocking operation has been performed, information on whether or not there has been an operation from locking to unlocking or from unlocking to locking, and information on the result of determining the resident's status (see FIG. 10).
When the management server 57 receives the locking/unlocking information from the controller 53 in step S5, it stores the locking/unlocking information in step S6, determines whether or not there is any change in the locked/unlocked state saved in step S7, and determines whether there is any change. If there is a change, the process ends in step S8, and in step S9, the communication terminal 59 and service server 61 are notified of the change in the locking/unlocking of the crescent 9 and the result of determining the resident's status.

On the other hand, when receiving a notification from the service server 61 to confirm the locked/unlocked state of the crescent in step T1, the management server 57 determines the locked/unlocked state of the crescent based on the stored locked/unlocked information (see step S6) in step T2. Send. Thereby, in step T3, the service server 61 receives the locked/unlocked state of the crescent.
Similarly, when receiving a notification from the communication terminal 59 confirming the locked/unlocked state of the crescent in step T4, the management server 57 locks/unlocks the crescent based on the stored crescent locking/unlocking information (see step S6) in step T2. The status is transmitted, and the communication terminal 59 receives the status in step T5.

Next, the functions and effects of the opening building material 1 and the crescent 9 according to this embodiment will be explained.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the crescent 9 detects whether the crescent 9 is in a locked state or an unlocked state by detecting a magnet 19a provided in the operation part 19 with a magnet sensor 31 provided in the sensor unit 13. It can be detected if there is.
As shown in FIG. 1, in the crescent 9, the sensor unit 13 and the battery unit 15 are disposed apart from each other with the crescent main body 11 in between, so that malfunctions caused by the electric field received by the sensor unit 13 from the battery unit 15 can be prevented. In particular, communication failures caused by the communication control section 33 provided in the sensor unit 13 being affected by the dry battery (electric field) 41 can be reduced.
By providing the sensor unit 13 and battery unit 15 of similar shapes with the crescent main body 11 in between, the crescent 9 has a well-balanced overall shape and a good design.

Since the energizing board 16 is provided sandwiched between the crescent main body 11 and the inner fitting frame 3a, the energizing board 16 is not exposed and can be well accommodated.
The sensor unit 13 is provided with the magnetic sensor 31, and the magnetic sensor 31 can be easily positioned simply by attaching the sensor unit 13 to the pedestal 17, so the attachment work is easy.
Since the sensor unit 13 hides the screw 22a on one side of the pedestal 17, and the battery unit 15 hides the screw 22b on the other side of the pedestal 17, the crescent 9 has a good appearance.

As shown in FIG. 9, the magnet sensor 31 transmits the locked/unlocked state via the communication control unit 33 when the locked/unlocked state changes (step S1) and at predetermined time intervals (step S2). transmits the number of locking/unlocking operations within a predetermined period of time or the presence or absence of a change to the communication terminal 59 at predetermined time intervals (step S9), so the holder of the communication terminal 59 always knows the accurate locking/unlocking state. can.
Since the controller 53 sends a message to the communication terminal 59 when there is a change in the locked/unlocked state of the crescent (step S9), the holder of the communication terminal 59 can grasp the change in the locked/unlocked state of the crescent, and therefore locks the door. Management is safe.

The control section 53e of the controller 53 determines whether the resident's condition is normal or abnormal as shown in FIG. 10 when there is a change in the locked/unlocked state of the crescent, and sends the result to the communication terminal 59 (see FIG. 9). ), family members and homeowners who own communication terminals 59 can confirm that their grandparents and parents who live far away are living without change, even if they are in a remote location. I can provide nursing care.
For example, the opening building material 1 was opened and closed once every two days for cleaning or ventilation, but if it has not been operated for three days and there are no plans to be away for a long period of time such as a trip, it may be due to poor health. Since the person is expected to be asleep or collapsed and unable to move, it can be determined that this is abnormal.
Furthermore, families and homeowners who own communication terminals 59 are concerned about their daily life rhythms, such as when grandparents or parents who live far away do not operate the crescent 9 of window (opening building material) 1 even after a day or two. It is safe because it is possible to confirm any major changes and to confirm safety early by means such as telephone contact.
If the service server 61 is a person in charge of a government office, a local welfare officer, or a staff member of a regional comprehensive center, the service server 61 can confirm that the elderly living in the community are living unchanged every day without having to visit each home. It is possible to reduce the burden on people, etc. In particular, government officials, local welfare commissioners, community center staff, etc. can recognize large changes that deviate from the daily rhythm of life as abnormal, and can quickly visit to confirm and take prompt action.

As shown in FIG. 11, the controller 53 is installed indoors and transmits the lock/unlock signal received from the communication control unit 33 to the communication terminal 59 (see FIG. 9). Changes in the locked/unlocked state can be easily checked on the communication terminal 59 even when the user is not present.
Since the service server 61 can confirm the locked/unlocked state of the crescent 9 through the management server 57, the security company, housing management company, etc. that maintains the service server 61 can easily manage door locking even remotely.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be modified in various ways without departing from the gist of the present invention.
For example, in the crescent 9, the battery unit 15 may be placed on the pedestal 17 and the sensor unit 13 may be placed below the crescent main body 11 to detect that the operating section 19 is in the unlocked position. .
The sensor unit 13 and the battery unit 15 are not limited to being arranged above and below the crescent main body 11, but may be arranged on the left and right sides, for example, when the crescent main body 11 is like a vertical window having screw fixing parts 21a and 21b on the left and right sides. It may be something.
The cover 13a of the sensor unit 13 may have an opening on its entire back surface, and the circuit board 37 may be inserted through the opening on the back surface to cover the circuit board 37. Similarly, the cover 15a of the battery unit 15 may have the entire back surface opened, and the battery holder 39 may be inserted through the opening on the back surface to cover the battery holder 39. In this case, the dry battery 41 can be easily replaced by removing the cover 15a and exposing the battery holder 39.
The opening building material 1 is not limited to a double sliding window, but may be a single sliding window.
