Abstract

PURPOSE:To menace an invader by voice generated by a card reader for controlling the drive/reset of an invasion sensor arranged in a room interlockingly with card reading when the invade invades into the room. CONSTITUTION:When a sensor inputs an invasion detecting signal, a control device 5 connected to the card reader 1 suuplies menace voice data to a voice outut device 2, which generates an alarm with voice having volume larger then a normal voice to an invade. When the sensor 6 senses abnormality during the period of crime prevention monitoring, the card reader is constituted so as to generate an alarm with voice larger than normal volume or voice having louder tone, so that menace operation con directly be applied to the invade.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a voice card reader which gives operational instructions by voice and which operates the start and end of indoor security monitoring in conjunction with card reading.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a conventional audio card reader, in which 1 is a card reading device for reading data in a card, 2 is an audio output device, and 3 is a device for transmitting operational voice data to the audio output device 2. Operation voice data to be supplied; 4 is card registration data in which data in the card is registered; 5 is a control device to which the card reading device 1, voice output device 2, and card registration data 4 are connected; 6 is the control device; connected sensors; 7, a central monitoring device that receives the alarm output from the control device; 8, the card reader 1;
This is a card reader with voice, which includes a voice output device 2, operation voice data 3, card registration data 4, and a control device 5.

Next, the operation will be explained. When the operator inserts the card into the card reading device 1, the card reading device 1 reads the data recorded on the card, compares the card registration data 4 with the card data, and if they match, the control device 5 starts monitoring the sensor 6, and when the card operation described above is performed next, the control device 5 finishes monitoring the sensor 6. While monitoring the sensor 6, the control device 5 outputs an alarm to the central monitoring device 7 if there is an abnormality in the sensor 6, for example due to intrusion by a thief. Furthermore, when the operator operates the card on the card reading device 1, the control device 5 instructs the voice output device 2 to output voice depending on the operation contents, and the voice output device 2 outputs operation voice data according to the contents of the instruction from the control device 5. Input the data in step 3 and output the audio. For example, in the case of a faulty card operation, a voice message such as "Please operate again" is output.

0004

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Since the conventional device is configured as described above, even if there is an abnormality in the sensor due to intrusion by a thief or the like during sensor monitoring, the control device can notify the central monitoring device of the abnormality. There was a problem in that it only sent information to the intruder and did not output anything directly to the intruder.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a voice card reader that can use voice to threaten an intruder.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A card reader with voice according to the present invention provides voice operation instructions at a normal volume and in a normal tone when operating a card, and when there is an abnormality in a sensor during crime prevention monitoring, the volume is louder than the normal volume. The device is equipped with an alarm generating means for issuing an alarm using a voice or a voice with a strong tone.

[0007]

[Function] In the card reader with voice according to the present invention, when the sensor detects an abnormality during crime prevention monitoring, the alarm generation means generates an alarm with a voice louder than the normal volume or a voice with a strong tone. The attached card reader can directly threaten an intruder.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In Figure 1, 1 is a card reading device that reads data in the card, 2 is a voice output device, 3 is operation voice data that supplies operation voice data to the voice output device 2, and 9 is a threatening voice to the voice output device 2. Threatening voice data for supplying data; 4 is card registration data in which the data in the card is registered; 5 is a control device to which the card reading device 1, voice output device 2, and card registration data 4 are connected; 6 is the control device described above. Sensors connected to the device, 7 a central monitoring device that receives the alarm output from the control device 5, 8 the card reader 1, voice output device 2, operation voice data 3, threatening voice data 9, card registration data 4; , and a control device 5.

Next, the operation will be explained. When the operator inserts the card into the reading device 1, the data recorded on the card is read and sent to the control device 5. The control device 5 compares the card registration data 4 and the above card data, and if they match, starts monitoring the sensor 6, and when the above card operation is performed next, the control device 5 starts monitoring the sensor 6. end.

For example, while the control device 5 is monitoring the sensor 6,
When the sensor 6 detects an abnormality due to an intrusion by a thief, etc., it outputs an alarm to the central monitoring device 7. Further, when the operator operates the card on the card reading device 1, the control device 5 instructs the voice output device 2 to output voice according to the operation contents, and the voice output device 2 outputs operation voice data according to the contents of the instruction from the control device 5. The audio output device 2 outputs audio.

[0011] For example, in the case of a faulty card operation, a voice such as ``Please operate again'' is output. Further, when the sensor 6 detects an abnormality during crime prevention monitoring, the control device 5 instructs the audio output device 2 to output a threatening voice, and the voice output device 2 outputs the threatening voice data 9 according to the instruction content of the control device 5. Data is input, and the audio output device 2 outputs audio. For example, if a sensor malfunctions due to an intruder, the message "Intrusion has occurred!, Intrusion has occurred!" is repeatedly generated in a voice louder than normal or in a strong tone.

0012

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, when there is an abnormality in the sensor during crime prevention monitoring, an alarm is generated with a voice louder than the normal volume of the card reader or a voice with a strong tone. Therefore, it is possible to directly threaten an intruder.
