The operation of the emergency notification device configured as described above will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

For example, the occurrence of an intrusion is detected by the intrusion sensor (8) of the emergency detection means (1), and the intrusion signal is sent to the interface circuit (18).
) to the control device (9), the timer (1
If the intrusion signal continues for a certain period of time set in step 7), for example, one minute, the control device (9) regards it as an emergency input and starts a notification operation (step SO).

First, the reporting destination selection means (3) reads out the telephone number of the first reporting destination (20) stored in the number storage means (2) and sends it to the telephone network control section (10). The automatic dialing means (4) dials the first destination (step Sl).

When the first destination responds to this dial (
Step S2), the voice synthesis means (19) sends a message expressing an emergency such as "Intrusion" to the telephone network control unit (
10) to the first reporting destination (20) (step S
3). After that, for example, within 10 seconds, the first report destination (20)
When a confirmation signal representing, for example, a personal identification number consisting of a combination of signals from PB to PB is input to the confirmation means (5), the load control means (13) starts operating (step S4).

The load control means (13) first sends a message to the telephone network control unit (10) from the voice synthesis means (19) saying "Please enter a control number" indicating that the number indicating the command such as an on control command or an off control command is waiting for input. The information is sent to the first notification destination (20) via the computer and waits for the control number to be input (step S6).

For example, when a PB double signal of "1" indicating ON control is input (step S5), "Please enter the device number" indicates that the device number indicating the type of load (14) is waiting for input.
The first message is sent again from the voice synthesis means (19).
It will be sent to the destination (20) and will wait for the device number to be input (
Step S7). In this state, for example, the light "3" (
16) is input (step S8).

When the lighting (16) is turned on, its status is monitored and sent to the control device (9), and the first
Sends the message "The light is on" to the reporting destination (20) and returns to waiting for the control number input (step S
5).

By turning on the light (16) by remote control in this manner, it is possible to surprise an intruder.

Next, in the same way as the above process, the control number representing OFF control and the device number representing the electric lock (14) can be input, and the electric lock (14) can be closed by remote control to eliminate the intruder's escape route. .

In the above operation, if the confirmation fi number is not input from the first reporting destination (20) within a certain period of time (step S4
), the second notification destination is selected and the second notification destination is dialed (step 510), and the same operations as those described above are performed.

In addition, after manually inputting the confirmation signal, the control number 0 will be displayed within a certain period of time.
If no device number has been input, the line is released and the reporting operation ends (step 5658).

In addition, in the above embodiment, the case where the intrusion sensor (8) of the emergency detection means (1) is activated is explained, but the above implementation also applies when the fire sensor (7) or other sensor is activated and detects an emergency state. In the same manner as in the example, the load can be controlled according to the nature of the emergency. As a result, the indoor process where an emergency situation occurs can be controlled depending on the nature of the emergency, so the process when an emergency situation occurs can be appropriately handled, and a more user-friendly actual reporting device can be obtained. be able to.
