Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the troublesomeness of the visual confirmation of an automatic informing function by confirming a voice message informing to a informing destination in voice by the speaker of the main body of an alarm unit. CONSTITUTION:A system memory 9 constituted by combining a ROM for storing control programs with a RAM for tentatively storing data is connected to an I/O interface 10 and crime preventing sensors S provided on a window and a door are externally attached to it. In this case, when the crime preventing sensors S detect fire, crime prevention and gas leakage, etc., since abnormal signals are sent through the I/O interface 10 to a signal processing part 1, the signal processing part 1 discriminates the abnormal signals, operates an automatic dialler 6 and automatically calls the informing destination set beforehand. When a call is received, the signal processing part 1 reads the voice message stored by an alarm sound message memory 3 and outputs it to the informing destination. Simultaneously, the speaker 8 of the main body of the alarm unit performs a monitoring function.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a security alarm unit for monitoring crime prevention or the like, and more particularly to a security alarm unit having a novel structure capable of monitoring a voice message at the time of automatic notification by utilizing a speaker of an alarm unit main body. Regarding

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An example of this type of security alarm unit is shown in FIG. This one is
In addition to the crime prevention sensor Sa, a fire sensor Sb and a gas leak sensor Sc are externally connected to the alarm unit 300 to constantly monitor their operation.
When the abnormality detection signal is received from a to Sc, the call destination connected via the telephone line is automatically called and the voice message is transmitted. In addition, at this time, by displaying the state of notification on the liquid crystal screen La with characters such as “Tsuhouchu”, “Tsuhoukanryo”, and “Mitsuho”,
You can check the automatic notification function.

[0003]

However, in such a security alarm unit 300, whether or not the automatic telephone is operating cannot be confirmed without looking at the liquid crystal display, and the user is concerned. The object of the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and a security alarm unit having a function capable of monitoring the content of a voice message sent to a report destination by the speaker by using the speaker of the alarm unit main body. Is intended to provide.

[0004]

An alarm unit according to the present invention, which is proposed to achieve the above object, is preset in an automatic dialer when an abnormal signal from a security sensor is received. It is configured to automatically call the communication destination, transmit the voice message stored in the communication message memory, and output the voice message from the speaker of the alarm unit body.

The alarm unit according to a second aspect of the present invention has a configuration in which a speaker of the alarm unit main body monitors a notification message stored in advance in the voice IC memory. Further, the alarm unit according to claim 3 is configured such that a speaker of the alarm unit main body monitors a notification message in which a voice message recorded in advance on a recording tape is reproduced and output.

[0006]

According to the alarm unit of the present invention as set forth in claim 1, when the sensor detects an abnormal signal, the auto dialer operates to automatically call a preset destination and transmit a voice message. . At this time, the alarm message is output from the speaker of the alarm unit body, so that the content can be confirmed.

Further, according to the alarm unit of the present invention as defined in claim 2, the voice message stored in advance in the voice IC is transmitted to the callee, and the content can be confirmed. Further, according to the alarm unit of the present invention as set forth in claim 3, the voice message recorded in advance on the recording tape can be reproduced and the content thereof can be confirmed.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the internal structure of the alarm unit of the present invention. Alarm unit A
Is composed of a microcomputer, and C
A signal processing unit 1 composed of PU, a notification message memory 2, an alarm voice message memory 3, an alarm release switch 4, a notification monitor switch 5, an auto dialer 6, a line control unit 7, a speaker 8, and a control program necessary for control. RA for temporarily storing data in the stored ROM
I / O the system memory 9 configured by combining M
The I / O interface 10 is connected to the interface 10, and a crime prevention sensor S provided on a window or a door is externally attached to the I / O interface 10.

In such a configuration, when the security sensor attached to the window or door detects a fire, a crime, a gas leak, etc., an abnormal signal is sent to the signal processing unit 1 through the I / O interface 10. When the signal processing unit 1 discriminates this abnormal signal, the automatic dialer 6 is operated to automatically call the preset addressee, and if there is an incoming call, the signal processing unit 1
Reads out the voice message stored in the alarm sound message memory 3 and outputs it to the report destination. At this time, the speaker 8 of the alarm unit main body simultaneously monitors.

FIG. 2 shows an external structure of the alarm unit A of the present invention and an alarm system including the alarm unit. This alarm unit A
Are various security sensors Sa to Sd externally connected to the surface of the main body 10 (Sa is a fire sensor, S
b and Sc are crime prevention sensors, and Sd is a gas leak sensor) corresponding to fire, crime prevention, and gas leak indicator lights 10a to 10c, liquid crystal display unit 10d, and emergency button 10.
e, setting switch 1 for setting the destination of automatic notification
0f, a setting numeric keypad section 10g, an automatic notification setting button 10h for automatic notification, a monitor button 10j for monitoring a notification message, and a speaker 10k. Here, when the monitor button 10j is operated, the liquid crystal display portion 10d becomes
a, the gas display lamp 10b, the abnormality display lamp 10c, etc. are turned on, the voice message is transmitted to the automatic notification destination set by the setting switch 10f and the setting numeric keypad 10g, and at the same time, the monitored notification message is output by the speaker 10k. .

Next, the operation of the notification message voice output monitor by the alarm unit A of the present invention will be described.
Steps 100 to 104 of FIG. 3 show the control procedure of the notification message voice output monitor operation. When an external sensor detects an abnormal occurrence, a fire will occur,
Alarms such as gas leaks and abnormalities are output, the auto dialer operates, and the preset call destination is automatically called.
When an incoming call is answered, the signal processing unit 1 operates, and the voice message memory operates based on the output alarm, and a notification message voice such as "Fire occurred Fire occurred here is XXXXX (TEL number) Please check" Is output, and at the same time, it is monitored by the speaker in the alarm unit A.

[0012]

As can be understood from the above description, according to the alarm unit having the function of monitoring the notification message according to the present invention, the voice message sent to the callee can be heard by the speaker of the alarm unit body. It can be confirmed by voice, eliminating the hassle of visual confirmation of the automatic notification function.
