Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to an improvement in a device for centrally receiving cargo within a building.

In high-rise housing complexes (hereinafter referred to as high-rise housing), mailboxes are not provided at the entrances of each unit, but are concentrated at the entrances on the ground (hereinafter referred to as centralized mailboxes). Therefore, residents of each house must go to the central mailbox to check whether mail has arrived. Since these centralized mailboxes are located apart from each house, it is necessary to prevent theft, and each mailbox is provided with a lock for each house. Therefore, even if you know that mail has arrived when you get home, you cannot retrieve the mail unless you have the key, and you have to go back to each house and retrieve the mail with the key. It's inconvenient.

This invention improves the above-mentioned problem. By photographing the baggage box with a television camera and receiving the image in the living room, it is possible to check whether the baggage has arrived at the baggage box while staying at each house. To provide a centralized baggage receiving device in a building, which allows the user to know what is going on.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

In the diagram, 1 is the building, 2 is the entrance on the first floor of building 1, 3 is the entrance to entrance 2, 4 is the living room on the first floor, 5 is the door leading from entrance 2 to living room 4, and 6 and 7 are from the first floor to the second floor. 8 is a landing that connects the stairs 6 and 7, 9 is a mailbox or other luggage receiving box installed at the entrance, and 9A is a space inside the luggage receiving box 9 that is divided into multiple sections, each of which can be used by building residents. 9B is a door made of a transparent plate that is pivotally connected to the baggage box 9 with a hinge 9C, and 9D is a door for inserting mail provided on the door 9B. Mouth, 9E is door 9B
9F is the lock on door 9B, 9G is the mail that can be seen through door 9B, and 10 is the photo of the baggage box 9 suspended from the ceiling of entrance 2. A television camera, 11 is a person standing in front of the baggage receiving box 9, 12 is a radio wave converter that converts the video output of the television camera 10 into radio waves of an empty channel in the area where the building 1 is located, and 13 is installed in the building 1. 14 is a booster that amplifies the output of the antenna 13, 15 is a radio wave mixer that mixes the output of the radio wave converter 12 and the output of the booster 14, and 16 is connected to the radio wave mixer 15. Community reception distribution cable, 17A-17
N is a home television receiver connected to the distribution cable 16 and installed in each unit of the building 1, and 17X is a screen received by the television receivers 17A to 17N.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

A television camera 10 is suspended from the ceiling,
The entire image is photographed from the front of the baggage receiving box 9, and the vicinity of the entrance 3 of the entrance 2 is also photographed. The video output is sent to a radio wave mixer 15 via a radio wave converter 12, where it is mixed with general broadcast radio waves received by a community reception antenna 13 and amplified by a booster 14. And community reception cable 16
The signal is then distributed to the television receivers 17A to 17N in each household. Therefore, each home has one television receiver.
If you match 7A to 17N with the above-mentioned predetermined empty channels, the baggage receiving box 9 will be imaged on the screen 17X,
Through the transparent door 9B, it is possible to know whether mail 9G has arrived at the receiving shelf 9A. Further, the vicinity of the entrance/exit 3 is also received on the screen 17X. Therefore, if a resident of the building 1 wants to see the status of the baggage box 9 and tunes the television receivers 17A to 17N to a predetermined empty channel, the situation outside the baggage box 9 and near the entrance 3 will also be received. Therefore, if there is a suspicious person at that time, it can be detected, which is also useful for crime prevention.

6 to 8 show other embodiments of the invention.

In the figure, 10A and 10B are two television cameras suspended from the ceiling of the entrance 2 and photographing the luggage box 9;
0C is a television camera suspended from the ceiling of the elevator hall and takes pictures of the elevator hall 19; 10D is a television camera suspended from the ceiling inside the elevator car 20 and shown in car 2;
21 is a video switching circuit that is connected to the TV cameras 10A and 10B and switches the respective video outputs every 5 seconds, for example, and 22 is connected to the video switching circuit 21 and the TV cameras 10C and 10D. This is a video synthesis circuit that synthesizes the respective video outputs and outputs it to the radio wave converter 12.

The television cameras 10A and 10B photograph the left half and right half of the luggage box 9, respectively. Also,
The television camera 10C photographs the elevator landing 19, and the television camera 10D photographs the elevator car 2.
I am photographing inside 0. TV camera 10A, 1
The video output of 0B is alternately switched by the video switching circuit 21, combined with the video output of the television cameras 10C and 10D by the video synthesis circuit 22, and displayed on the screen 17X of the television receivers 17A to 17N in each house as described above. image is received. In this example, the image of the baggage receiving box 9 is synthesized on the upper right of the screen 17X, the image of the elevator hall 19 is also synthesized on the upper left, and the image inside the car 20 is synthesized on the lower side. Luggage box 9
The left and right halves of the image are received every 5 seconds,
As a result, the entire image will be received.

This embodiment is useful when the baggage receiving box 9 becomes too large to be accommodated by one television camera 10. Furthermore, since the situation inside the elevator landing 19 and the car 20 can be viewed at each door, it is also desirable for crime prevention.

In each of the above-mentioned embodiments, the package receiving box 9 for mail is shown, but the present invention is not limited to mail, but can also be applied to a package receiving box for milk, newspapers, parcels, and the like.

Furthermore, the television receivers 17A to 17N are not limited to those for home use; for example, a dedicated video monitor may be installed in a manager's room or the like. In this case, the video composition circuit 22 may be directly connected to the video monitor.

As explained above, in this invention, the baggage receiving box installed at a predetermined location in the building is photographed by a television camera, and the image is received by the television receiver in the living room. By simply tuning the channel to a predetermined empty channel, you can know whether or not a package has arrived at the package receptacle while staying at each door.

In addition, the crime prevention area inside the building was also photographed using a TV camera, and the image was combined with the video output from the luggage receptacle and received on the television receiver in the living room.As a result, the status of the security area can be viewed at the same time as the condition of the luggage receptacle. It can also be used for crime prevention monitoring.
