Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a notification device as a home information transmission means that has a transmission communication path between a sensor device and a notification device that reports information using a sensor device and can communicate. It is something.

Conventional configurations and their problems In recent years, security systems and the like have received great importance from the standpoint of leading a safe, comfortable, and convenient life in the home, and are now becoming widespread.

However, the conventional system simply connects the sensor and the reporting means by wiring, and cannot be said to be sufficient. Sensor devices and reporting devices that are expected to increase in the future are required to communicate with each other and process data.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention provides a communication system notification device that connects a plurality of sensor devices and notification devices on a transmission communication path, and aims to provide safety, convenience, and comfort to users. It is something.

Structure of the Invention The reporting device of the present invention uses a plurality of sensor devices having sensor means and sensor status information of the sensor devices! It is composed of a plurality of operating reporting devices and a transmission communication path connecting the two devices, and the reporting device operates upon receiving the sensor status information, and also receives the sensor status recovery information from the sensor device. A visual notification means that stops the operation, an auditory notification means that receives sensor status information and operates together with the visual notification means, an auditory notification means that operates together with the auditory notification means, and an auditory notification that stops only the operation of the auditory notification means. It not only informs the information of the sensor device to the reporting device, but also lets the user know what the information is based on even after the auditory notification means has stopped, thereby achieving safety, convenience, and comfort. It provided sex.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a block configuration in an embodiment of the present invention in which one sensor device and one reporting device of a reporting device are connected by a transmission channel. In the figure, 1 is a sensor means that outputs information on a state change, and 2ij
: A transmitting/receiving device that transmits and receives information on a transmission communication path using the output from the sensor means 1 as input; 3 is a sensor device composed of the transmitting means 1 and the transmitting/receiving device 2;
Reference numeral 4 indicates a transmitting/receiving device that receives or transmits information on the transmission channel, and 6 receives information from the transmitting/receiving device 5 and controls visual reporting means 6 such as a pilot lamp and auditory reporting means 7 such as a buzzer. arithmetic processing means; 8 is an auditory notification stopping means that sends a signal to the arithmetic processing means 6 and stops only the operation of the auditory notification means 7; 9 is a notification device composed of each of the means 4 to 8; 10 is a sensor device 3; This is a transmission communication path connected to the reporting device 9.

Here, the reporting device 9 will be explained in detail. Sensor equipment 3
When an abnormal state occurs in the sensor means 1 and the information is transferred to the transmission communication channel 10, the transmitting/receiving device 4 receives the information. When the arithmetic processing means 5 receives this, the visual notification means 6 and the auditory notification means 7 are activated. After confirming the notification, both means 6 and 7 stop only the auditory notification means 7 by operating the auditory notification stopping means 8. On the other hand, the visual notification means 6 is not stopped and continues to notify the abnormality unless abnormality recovery information is received from the sensor device 3.

In the above explanation, the sensor device 3 and the reporting device 9 are each one
Although we have described each case separately, in reality, there are many cases where multiple sensor devices 12 to 15 and multiple reporting devices 16 to 19 are connected on the same transmission channel 11 as shown in FIG. Conceivable. For example, sensor devices 12 to 15 for gas leak detection, smoke detection, water leak detection, lightning detection, etc.
When there are reporting devices 16 to 19 in the living room, kitchen, bedroom, children's room, etc. via the same transmission communication path 11, the abnormal state from the sensor devices 12 to 15 is transmitted to the reporting devices 16 to 19.
19 to inform each room by auditory notification means and visual notification means. Then, the person who notices it quickly operates the auditory notification stop means of the notification device in that room, thereby turning off only the auditory notification means in each room. However, other people may not know what the abnormality is from the sensor device because the visual notification means of the notification device continues to operate (visual notification means are provided in response to gas leaks, smoke, etc.). You can find out the cause, such as whether it was a gas leak or smoke. Furthermore, since the auditory notification means is stopped for things that are merely notifications (for example, water leaks), noise can be prevented.

Therefore, if you manually correct the cause of the notification (for example, to prevent a water leak), each notification device 16 to 1
9 is what is transmitted to all rooms.

In this embodiment, the visual notification means 6 is a pilot lamp, but if it is visually appealing, it may be an LE.
A buzzer is exemplified as the auditory notification means 7, but music, a bell, etc. may be used as long as it is appealing to the auditory senses. Further, the visual notification stopping means may be a simple switch.

Furthermore, this reporting system uses household power lines as the transmission communication path. For this reason, reporting devices and sensor devices can be installed anywhere as long as there is a power line.

Effects of the Invention The reporting device of the present invention is such that when there is an abnormality in a sensor device, it is immediately notified to the reporting device using both visual reporting means and auditory reporting means. According to human judgment, only the auditory notification means can be stopped by sending a signal by the auditory notification stopping means.

By doing this, noise can be prevented in the case of simple announcements with a low degree of danger. Even after the auditory notification means has stopped, the visual notification means allows anyone other than the user who operated the auditory notification stop means to know what caused the problem until abnormality recovery information is received. This allows you to know whether the cause has been corrected or not using the visual notification means.

As described above, this device allows the sensor device 2 to be installed anywhere there is a transmission communication path, and provides user safety, operability, and comfort, and its effects are significant.
