Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is installed in an administrator room or the like when an emergency call button which is operated in an emergency in each dwelling unit is operated, or when an abnormality detection sensor detects an abnormality. The present invention relates to an emergency call device for making an emergency call via an existing monitoring panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional emergency notification device in an apartment house is provided with a control device (control panel for dwelling unit) in each dwelling unit, and an emergency call button and an abnormality detection sensor are connected to this control device.
When the emergency call button is operated, or when the abnormality detection sensor detects an abnormality, this is the device that is displayed on the monitoring panel provided in the management room via the control device. The manager who has seen the person can go out to the dwelling unit, enter the dwelling unit by using a master key or the like, and perform a treatment according to the state of the dwelling unit.

Further, as described above, it is necessary to confirm the safety of the person in the dwelling unit by the emergency call button and the abnormality detection sensor on the assumption that there is a person in the dwelling unit. If there is no human in the dwelling unit,
Not only is it not necessary to confirm the safety, but if the safety monitoring operation is executed at that time, there is the inconvenience that it is judged as abnormal although not abnormal.

That is, there is a passive sensor as one of the abnormality detection sensors, and this passive sensor is, for example, 11
When a person or the like does not move within the detection area for 55 minutes, it is determined that there is an abnormality, and an abnormality signal is sent to the monitoring panel via the control device set for each dwelling unit. But,
If the resident is absent in the unit, even if it is 11
Even if the passive sensor does not detect movement within the detection area for 55 minutes or more, it is not in an abnormal state. Therefore, in order to eliminate the above-mentioned inconvenience, the absent room in the dwelling unit is detected,
While the absence room is being detected, the safety monitoring operation is stopped.

Conventionally, a switch is provided in the door lock, and when the door lock is locked from the outside of the door, it is determined that the room is absent, and when it is locked from the inside, the lock is present. I try to judge that I have a room.

[0006]

However, it is effective in a single person's dwelling unit to judge that there is no room when the key is locked from the outside of the door, as in the above-mentioned conventional example. When two people live together, the judgment may not be appropriate.

That is, when one of the two people goes out and locks from the outside of the door at the time of going out, it is judged that the dwelling unit is an absent room, and safety is monitored for the remaining one. Although it is necessary to execute the operation, the safety monitoring operation is not executed.

According to the present invention, when two people live together in one dwelling unit and one of the two goes out, the dwelling unit is not judged to be an absent room. The purpose is to provide a device.

[0009]

According to the present invention, an emergency call is provided in which a door lock is provided on the door of each dwelling unit of an apartment house, the safety of the resident in the dwelling unit is monitored, and an emergency call is made when an abnormality occurs. In the device, an external key lock detection means for detecting that the door lock is locked from the outside of the door, and a presence confirmation sensor for confirming the presence of a person in the dwelling unit are provided, and the door lock is When the external key lock detection means detects that the person is locked from the outside and the presence confirmation sensor cannot confirm the presence of a person in the dwelling unit, the safety monitoring operation is stopped.
