Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention generates an alarm sound when an activation signal is input from one of a plurality of sensors respectively installed at a predetermined position, and also sends a message to a predetermined notification destination. The present invention relates to an emergency notification device that issues abnormality information in response to an activation signal.

[Conventional technology]

In a conventional emergency notification device, after an activation signal is issued from a sensor, if a predetermined reset button (switch means) is pressed before the abnormality information corresponding to the activation signal has been reported to a predetermined destination, At the same time as the sending of alarm sounds and the visual display according to abnormal information stopped, the issuing of abnormal information also stopped.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, if, for example, a thief breaks into a home where the conventional emergency notification device is installed and is caught by the sensor, the actuating means will emit an alarm sound and report abnormality information to a predetermined notification destination. If the intruding thief presses the reset button between the time the alarm is detected and the anomaly information is reported (usually about 30 to 40 seconds), the alarm will not only stop, but the anomaly information will also be sent. The drawback was that the alarms also stopped at the same time.

[Means for solving problems]

The emergency notification device of the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and includes a plurality of sensors each arranged at a predetermined position, a mode switching means for selecting either a warning mode or a warning release mode. , actuating means for generating an alarm sound when a warning mode signal is input from the mode switching means and a starting signal is input from any of the sensors, and also for notifying a predetermined report destination of abnormality information according to the starting signal; An emergency notification device comprising: a switch means for stopping the alarm sound in the actuating means; and abnormality information in the actuating means based on input of an alarm release mode signal from the mode switching means and an alarm sound stop signal from the switch means. and an alarm stop means for stopping the alarm operation.

[Operation] Only by operating the switch means, the alarm sound is stopped, and the abnormality information issuing operation continues. Moreover, when the switch means is operated with the mode switching means switched to the alarm release mode, not only the alarm sound but also the abnormality information issuing operation is stopped.

27 is a power supply unit, 28 is a power supply unit that supplies 5V or 12V power to each circuit, 29 is a battery used in the event of a power outage, 30 detects the voltage of battery 29, and when the voltage drops below a predetermined voltage, a predetermined signal is sent to the CPU 5. This is a voltage detection section that provides an output of Note that when the CPU 5 detects the output of the voltage detection section 30, predetermined abnormality information is reported to the destination.

Next, the operation of the embodiment configured as described above will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

The CPU 5 repeatedly scans the output state of the sensor 10 or the wireless sensor 11 via the input/output interface unit 12, and monitors the activation signal output from either the sensor 10 or the wireless sensor 11 (step 101).

Here, when an activation signal is input, an alarm sound generation, visual display, and alarm processing are performed (step 102). ° That is, the CPU 5 activates the alarm sound generating section 1 by inputting the activation signal.
A predetermined signal is given to 7 to generate an alarm sound (for example, a sound such as "beep" or "popobo...") according to the activation signal. At the same time, a predetermined signal is also output to the crime prevention display unit 16, and a crime prevention mark corresponding to the activation signal is lit to provide a visible display. Furthermore, after having the network control unit (N CU) capture the central office line, it reads the telephone number of the destination stored in the EEPROM 20, causes the signal generation unit 9 to automatically dial, and after the connection with the destination is completed. , a notification process is performed in which the abnormality information converted into a PB signal is generated from the signal generating section 9 and is sent to the notification destination via the central office line. In addition, instead of the abnormality information converted into a PB signal, a synthesized speech message (for example, "This is an emergency notification device. There is a fire.") is generated from the speech synthesis transmission section 22 and transmitted via the central line. You can also send a notification to the recipient. The EEFROM20 determines whether the alarm processing is based on a PB double signal or a voice synthesized message.
It is determined according to the memory contents of.

Next, the CPU 5 determines whether or not the alarm processing in step 102 has been completed (Step 1゜3). If the alarm processing has not been completed, the CPU 5 then turns on the alarm stop switch provided in the operation section 15. Determine whether or not it has been manipulated (
Step 104).

If the alarm stop switch has not been operated, the process returns to step 103, and steps 103 and 104 are repeated until either the completion of the alarm process or the operation of the alarm stop switch is confirmed. If the alarm processing is completed in step 103, the process returns to step 101 and the sensor 10.
The activation signal from the wireless sensor 11 is monitored. On the other hand, when it is detected in step 1.4 that the alarm stop switch has been operated, the alarm sound in the alarm sound generating section 17 is stopped and the visual display on the security display section is turned off (
Step 105). Thereafter, it is determined again whether or not the alarm has been issued (step 106), and if the alarm processing has not been completed, the selected state of the set switch provided in the operation section 15 is set to alarm mode (outdoor mode) or Disarm mode (
(step 107). If it is recognized in step 107 that the alarm release mode has been selected, the alarm processing is forcibly stopped (step 108) and the sensor monitoring state is returned to (step 101). If the alert mode is selected in step 107, that is, if the alert release mode is not selected, the alarm processing status is monitored (
Step 103) and monitoring of the state of the alarm stop switch (step 104) are performed again.

In this embodiment, the flowchart is configured so that it is determined whether or not the alarm cancellation mode is selected after determining whether or not the alarm stop switch is operated. The flowchart may be configured to determine whether or not the alarm stop switch is operated after the selection is determined.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the visual display stop operation is performed in step 1.
05, along with the alarm sound transmission stop operation,
The visual display stopping action may be performed together with the alarming stopping action in step 108. By configuring the flowchart in this way, the user can visually confirm that the alarm has stopped.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the emergency notification device of the present invention,
If the alarm stop switch means is operated with the mode switching means switched to the alarm release mode, the operation of issuing abnormal information will be stopped, and the alarm operation will not be stopped only by operating the alarm stop switch. Therefore, if a thief breaks into your home while you are away and is detected by the sensor, even if the thief himself operates the alarm stop switch to stop the alarm sound, the abnormality information will continue to be issued, preventing the thief from breaking in. It is possible to reliably inform the person to whom the report should be made.
