Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a centralized monitoring system for centrally monitoring a plurality of buildings using a communication line such as a telephone line, a terminal device used in the centralized monitoring system, and a coping system. Regarding cards.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, in a security company, a building management company, etc., a plurality of monitoring buildings are connected to a central monitoring center via a communication line such as a telephone line, and the central monitoring center is used to connect the plurality of buildings. There is a centralized monitoring system that performs centralized monitoring of a building, and when an abnormality occurs in the monitored building, a staff member rushes to confirm the content of the abnormality and take corrective action.

In such a centralized monitoring system,
When the coping staff takes coping, the coping card and the key are carried, and the terminal device installed in the surveillance building is operated to set the terminal device to the coping mode, that is, the releasing mode, the patrol mode or the maintenance mode. The present applicant has proposed a system described below as a system in such a centralized monitoring system (Japanese Patent Application No. 6-147719).

This proposed system is a centralized monitoring system in which one or a plurality of terminal devices and a centralized monitoring device are connected by a communication line, and when an abnormality occurs in a monitoring building and a staff member takes measures, the central monitoring device is used. Transmits a handling permission signal including handling data including a handling personnel code to each terminal device. Each terminal device stores the coping permission signal transmitted from the central monitoring device. When the coping staff inputs the coping data into the terminal device in the alert mode, the terminal device collates the coping data with the coping data of the coping permission signal received from the central monitoring device. Then, as a result of the collation, when both the coping data match, the terminal device is set to the coping mode.

In this centralized monitoring system, the countermeasure mode is shifted to the countermeasure mode by collating the countermeasure data of the countermeasure permission signal received from the central monitoring device with the countermeasure data input by the personnel, and the personnel can enter the building. Therefore, it becomes unnecessary to manage and carry a countermeasure card for each surveillance building, which was indispensable until then. Further, if an electric lock is provided on the entrance door of the surveillance building and the electric lock is unlocked when the coping mode is set, the coping staff does not need to take the key with coping. Further, since the coping staff inputs the coping data by the card reader and the coping card, the coping data can be easily operated.

[0006]

In the above-described conventional centralized monitoring system, there may be a property in which a coping staff always enters the building for inspection or the like once or several times a day. In this case, the central monitoring device sends a handling permission signal to the terminal device each time the inspection is performed. This places a heavy burden on the controller who operates the central monitoring device.

According to the present invention, in a centralized monitoring system capable of shifting to a coping mode or the like by collating coping data received from a central monitoring device with coping data input by coping personnel, a coping permission signal is sent from a central monitoring center. The purpose is to reduce the burden of transmitting.

[0008]

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, a coping card used in a centralized monitoring system is provided with a storage section for storing at least a coordinating area specifying code for specifying a coordinating area of a counseling person. Set up. Further, according to the present invention, the coping card used in the centralized monitoring system is configured by a card having a storage unit and a microprocessor,
At least a storage unit that stores a responsible district identification code that identifies a district that the counselor is in charge of, and an output unit that outputs the responsible district identification code stored in the storage unit to the terminal device are provided.

Further, according to the invention of the present application, a setting unit for setting presence / absence of patrol, a storage unit for storing presence / absence of patrol and a district code, and a means for reading stored contents of a coping card in a terminal device used in the centralized monitoring system. And a control means for setting the coping mode when the presence of the patrol is set in the setting unit and the responsible district identification code read from the coping card matches the district code stored in the storage unit.

Further, according to the present invention, in a centralized monitoring system in which one or a plurality of terminal devices and a central monitoring device are connected by a communication line, the central monitoring device stores a predetermined planned number of times of handling for each terminal device. And a storage unit that stores the number of times of coping in each of the terminal devices, and compares the planned number of times of coping with the number of times of coping, and when both match, a control unit that sends a coping non-permission signal to the terminal device. And shall be provided.

[0011]

[Function] By storing a responsible district specifying code for specifying the district in charge of the handling staff in the handling card, when the responsible district specifying code matches the district code stored in the terminal device, the terminal device takes action. The mode is, for example, a release mode, a patrol mode, or a maintenance mode. Therefore, the coping staff can enter the area for inspection and so on.

Further, in the central monitoring center, it is not necessary to send a coping permission signal to the terminal device every time an inspection or the like is performed, so that the burden is reduced. Further, in each warning area, the number of times to shift to the coping mode for performing inspections is predetermined, so the central monitoring device grasps the number of times to shift to the coping mode for each warning area, and the planned number of times. For areas that exceed the limit, switching to the coping mode due to the agreement of the assigned district identification code and the district code is prohibited.

It has a controller 62, an electric lock controller 67 for controlling the electric lock 66, and a card reader 68 installed in the vicinity of the doorway, and they are connected to each other via a LAN 69.

Next, the internal structure of the controller 61 will be described with reference to FIG. The controller 61 controls a communication control unit 612 that controls communication with the central monitoring device 2, a modem 611, and a communication state between the central monitoring device 2 and the controller 61, such as an abnormality of the communication line 5 or a failure of the communication control unit 612. A communication state monitoring unit 619 for monitoring and detecting an abnormality,

It has an N communication control unit 617, a LAN interface 618 for connecting the LAN 69 and the controller 61, a power supply unit 614 of the controller, and a control unit (CPU) 613 for controlling these.

Further, the controller 61 is a storage unit (RAM) 615 for storing a program for operating the controller, data and parameters for performing various controls, and the like.
It has a (ROM) 616. The contents stored in the storage unit (RAM) 615 will be described with reference to FIGS.
The storage unit (RAM) 615 stores card identification data for identifying whether or not the card can be used in this system, presence / absence of circulation, a district code for identifying the district to which the controller 61 belongs, and a handling permission signal. Presence / absence, coping staff data, presence / absence of coping non-permission signal are stored, and further, card data read from the coping card 4 is stored.

Note that FIG. 1 (a) shows the stored contents of a patrol object that patrols, and FIG. 1 (b) is a normal object that does not require patrol, and a coping permission signal from the central monitoring device 2. Indicates the stored contents of the property to which the handling personnel data has been sent. Further, among the above-mentioned stored contents, those which do not need to be rewritten can be stored in the storage unit (ROM) 616.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the present invention, the coping mode will be described, but the coping mode means a mode in which the coping staff can enter the surveillance building 6 for a valid reason. That is, the patrol mode, the maintenance mode, the alert release mode, and the like. In the following description, for the sake of convenience, an operation (patrol mode) when a coping staff who regularly patrols arrives at the surveillance building 6 and one sensor 63 of a certain surveillance building 6 detects an abnormality, and the central monitoring device 2 The operation (handling mode) in the case where the handling staff who has received the handling instruction from the controller arrives at the monitoring building 6 will be described separately. Here, the monitoring building 6 is unmanned and is set to the monitoring mode in which the central monitoring device 2 is performing remote monitoring.

First, a case will be described in which the coping staff regularly patrols the patrol property. The storage contents of the storage unit (RAM) 615 of the controller 61 of the patrol object are as shown in FIG. That is, since the patrol is enabled and the coping permission signal is not transmitted from the central monitoring device 2, the coping permission signal is not present. The details of the handling non-permission signal will be described later, but here,
It is assumed that there is no response disapproval signal.

When the coping staff arrives at the surveillance building 6 that makes a patrol, when entering the surveillance building 6, the coping staff operates the coping card 4 with the card reader 68 installed near the entrance. The stored contents of the storage unit 44 of the coping card 4 are as shown in FIG. Step S11 in FIG.
Then, when the coping card 4 is operated by the card reader 68, a card data read command is sent from the card reader 68 to the coping card 4. The handling card 4 reads the card data including the card identification data, the expiration date data, the area code in charge, the handling personnel data, etc. from the storage unit 44 and sends it to the card reader 68. The card reader 68 transmits the card data to the controller 61. The controller 61 stores this card data in the storage unit (RAM) 615.

In step 12, a storage unit (RAM) 615
The processing unit 613 collates the card identification data of the card data stored in the card identification data with the card identification data stored in advance in the storage unit (RAM) 615. Matching result is NG
In this case, the transition to the "coping (patrol) mode" is not made, and the coping mode non-transition signal is transmitted to the central monitoring device 2 (step S22). If the collation result is OK, the process proceeds to step S13.

In step S13, the storage unit (RAM) 6
The expiration date data is read from the card data stored in 15, and the processing unit 613 checks whether or not the current date and time is within the expiration date. If the collation result is NG,
No shift to the "handling (patrol) mode" is made (step S22). If the collation result is OK, the process proceeds to step S14.

In step S14, in the case of patrol, since the coping permission signal has not been sent from the central monitoring unit 2, the coping permission signal stored in the storage unit (RAM) 615 becomes null, and the procedure goes to step S15. Will proceed.
In step S15, the storage unit (RA
M) It is determined whether or not there is a patrol setting prestored in 615. If the surveillance building that the staff is going to enter is a normal property without a patrol setting, the verification result will be NG, and the transition to the "coping (patrol) mode" will not be made (step S
22). If the collation result is OK, step S1
Go to 6.

In step S16, the storage unit (RAM) 6
The presence / absence of the handling non-permission signal is checked from the data stored in 15. If there is the handling non-permission signal, the transition to the "handling (patrol) mode" is not made (step S22). Also,
If there is no countermeasure non-permission signal, the process proceeds to step S17. Here, the handling non-permission signal will be described. This handling non-permission signal is sent from the central monitoring center 1 when the number of times set in the handling (patrol) mode by handling, patrol, etc. reaches the planned number within a predetermined period, as will be described later in step S21. It is sent.
When the scheduled number of rounds is completed, the coping non-permission signal is received from the central monitoring center, and therefore the storage unit 615 is set to have the coping non-permission signal.

Therefore, when the patrol is performed within the predetermined number of times within the predetermined period (for example, three times a day), this coping non-permission signal is absent, and therefore the process does not proceed to step S22. However, when the coping card 4 is illegally used after the regular patrol and the admission is illegally entered into the surveillance building 6, the coping non-permission signal is present, and therefore, the process proceeds from step S16 to step S22 to take coping (patrol). ) A mode (non-tour) mode non-transition signal is sent to the central monitoring device 2 without shifting to the mode, and the central monitoring center 1 grasps the situation.

As a result, it is possible to prevent the handling staff from entering the patrol property more than necessary. It should be noted that the handling non-permission signal of the storage unit 615 is automatically cleared and becomes null at the preset time, for example, 9 o'clock according to the replacement time of the handling staff or the traveling cycle. In step S17, the assigned district identification code read from the card data stored in the storage unit (RAM) 615 is read out, and the district code stored in advance in the storage unit (RAM) 615 is compared with the processing unit 613. If the collation result is NG, the transition to the "handling (patrol) mode" is not made (step S22). If the collation result is OK, the process proceeds to step S19.

In step S19, the controller 6 is switched to the coping (patrol) mode, and in step S20, an unlocking signal for the electric lock is transmitted. The coping staff can enter the surveillance building in the coping (patrol) mode by opening the door. In step S21, a coping (patrol) mode transition signal indicating the transition to the coping (patrol) mode is sent to the central monitoring device 2.

The central monitoring device 2 recognizes that the monitoring building 6 has shifted to the coping (patrol) mode. Further, in the central monitoring device 2, the number of times of shifting to the coping (patrol) mode is stored in the storage unit 25 for each monitoring building. Then, the processing device 21 compares the number of patrols with the planned number of times, and when the number of patrols reaches the planned number of patrols, transmits a coping non-permission signal to the controller 61 of the monitoring building 6.

The number of patrols stored in the storage unit 25 is automatically cleared at a preset time, for example, 9 o'clock according to the change time of the coping staff or the patrol cycle. According to the above-described example, since the handling area identification code is stored in the handling card 4, it is possible to send the authorized handling personnel to the controller 6 from the central monitoring device 2 without sending a handling permission signal for each visit. Will be able to enter the monitoring building in charge using the coping card. Therefore, the card that has been kept in each surveillance building is no longer needed, and at the same time, the central monitoring device 2
Since it is no longer necessary to transmit the coping permission signal each time, the burden on the controller of the central monitoring center 1 is reduced.

Next, a case will be described in which the coping staff arrives at the surveillance building 6 according to an instruction from the controller of the central monitoring system 2. In the following description, it is assumed that the surveillance building 6 is a normal property that is not patroled, but the same operation is performed in the case of a patroled property surveillance building. When the sensor 63 detects an abnormality, the central monitoring center 1 moves to the central monitoring device 2
At the same time, an instruction is sent to the coping personnel, and at the same time, a coping permission signal and coping staff data are transmitted to the controller 61 of the monitoring building 6.

When the controller 61 receives the coping permission signal transmitted from the central monitoring unit 2, the controller 61 stores the coping permission signal in the storage unit (RAM) 615. As a result, the storage content of the storage unit (RAM) 615 is as shown in FIG.
As shown in (b). When the coping staff arrives at the surveillance building 6 in which an abnormality has occurred, when entering the surveillance building 6, the coping staff operates the coping card 4 with the card reader 68 installed near the doorway. The stored contents of the storage unit 44 of the coping card 4 are as shown in FIG.

After the handling staff arrives at the surveillance building and operates the handling card 4 with the card reader 68, step S1
The process up to step 4 is the same as in the above example. Step S1
In 4, the presence / absence of the coping permission signal stored in the storage unit (RAM) 615 is read, and if there is no coping permission signal, the process proceeds to step S15. However, in this example, the coping permission signal is present, so the process proceeds to step S18. .

In step 18, a storage unit (RAM) 61
The handling personnel data stored in 5 and the handling personnel data of the card data are read out, and the both are collated by the processing unit 613. If the collation result is NG, the "handling mode" is not changed, and the electric lock is not unlocked (step S22). If the collation result is OK, step S1
Move to 9.

Since step S19 and the subsequent steps are the same as those described above, redundant description will be omitted. In addition, after the coping staff has finished coping, and after shifting to the “monitoring mode” by a predetermined operation again, the coping permission signal and the coping staff data stored in the storage unit (RAM) 615 are cleared and the card is re-used. You are not allowed to enter.

As described above, the coping personnel who are going to take coping only need to use the coping card 4 and the sensor 63
Since it becomes possible to enter the surveillance building 6 in which the abnormality is detected, it is not necessary to use the card that has been kept for each surveillance building. In addition, even if a malicious person illegally obtains the coping card 4, if the coping permission signal is not transmitted to the surveillance building 6, the person cannot enter the building. If you do not do so, you cannot enter the building.

In the embodiments described above, an example of an electric lock is shown as an example of the opening / closing equipment of the surveillance building, but the present invention is not limited to control of automatic doors and shutters and other systems that require authentication. Needless to say, it can be applied.

[0038]

According to the present invention, in the centralized monitoring system in which the countermeasure data received from the central monitoring device and the countermeasure data input by the countermeasure personnel are collated, it is possible to shift to the countermeasure mode etc. There is no need to send a coping permission signal from the central monitoring center when making patrols,
It is possible to reduce the burden on the controller of the central monitoring center.

Further, according to the present invention, even if the burden on the controller is reduced as described above, it is possible to prevent the coping staff from illegally using the coping card to enter the surveillance building. This has the effect of further increasing reliability.
