SECURITY SYSTEM AND METHOD USING A PICTURE-CELLULAR PHONE}

The present invention provides a security system and method using a video mobile phone to prevent the intrusion of thieves or robbery or to transmit the situation to a police station or a security company to arrest without using a separate security facility having a video mobile phone It is about.

In general, a security system installs a plurality of cameras and sensors in order to prevent and monitor intrusion from the outside, and wires for connecting such cameras or sensors.

In the case of such a system, the price of the equipment is expensive, and when registered with a security company, it is difficult for the general public to use a certain amount of money. In addition, since the position of the camera or sensor is always fixed, the security system is of no use if the person attempting to invade attempts to invade by detecting the position of the monitoring device in advance.

Therefore, various means have been proposed to solve the above problems. For example, Patent Application No. 29440, 1993, uses a videophone to generate an alarm when a visitor opens a door without inputting a normal password. The device is described.

In this case, it simply stores the image and sound of the intruder, and there is only a function of retrieving the work only after something happens, and thus there is a problem in performing a practical method such as the security system.

In addition, Patent Application No. 5200 of 1990 and Patent Application No. 5475 of 1993 describe a sensor security telephone system and a security wireless telephone for making a call to a stored contact when an external intruder exists, and also a patent application in 1993. No. 27986 describes a telephone which performs a security function by detecting and transmitting a movement of a subject by connecting a video telephone to an ISDN network.

Even in this case, there is a significant problem that the person has to go to the place and check the cost because the detected contact is not confirmed whether the detected intruder is an intruder. Since it is common to block telephone lines, etc. connected to the network, in such a case, there is a problem that the security function cannot be performed.

Therefore, the present invention detects and alerts to the intrusion of a thief or a robber without using a separate crime prevention facility using a video mobile phone, and judges the situation to send information such as images according to the situation to the police station or security company for arrest. The present invention relates to a security system and method using a video mobile phone.

The present invention provides a security system for monitoring an external intruder, comprising: a monitoring unit including a video mobile phone having a small camera for capturing a motion of a moving subject, and a charger including a motion detection sensor and a plug for powering; A relay station for transmitting the transmitted information to a far distance; A server capable of transmitting information including a display unit for situation determination and a speaker for generating a warning sound; And a security company (or police station) in which the display unit and the speaker are installed as described above.

In addition, a security method for monitoring an external intruder, the method comprising: switching the video cell phone to the monitoring mode, the mode switching step of mounting on the charger; Sensor operation step of operating the motion sensor attached to the charger; A movement determination step of determining whether movement of the subject is captured; A first warning step of starting a communication with a server to transmit image information on the captured subject movement and ringing a bell in the image mobile phone when the movement of the subject is detected in the movement determination step; A setting time determination step of determining whether the setting time is exceeded while continuing to perform the above steps until a predetermined time elapses by a timer of the server; A warning cancellation determination step of continuously performing a first warning step if the user does not enter a password during the setting time, and continuously performing a first warning step if the user does not enter the password during the setting time; A second warning step of transmitting image information to the display unit and generating a warning sound to a speaker; Through the information transmitted in the second warning step, the monitor checks the situation and terminates communication if it is safe to perform the series of steps, and in case of danger, communicates to transmit information to the security company (or police station). Starting situation determination step; And a security company (or police station) calling step of transmitting image information through a communication network and generating a warning sound to notify of a dangerous situation.

The system 100 and the relay station 300 for transmitting the transmitted information to a long distance and the monitoring unit 200 consisting of a video mobile phone 210 that can detect the motion and transmit information of the image and the like; The server 400 may store the transmitted information for a certain period of time and transmit the information to the police station if necessary, and the display unit 500, the speaker 510, and the security company 600 (or police station) for the situation determination. It is composed of a display unit (not shown).

The monitoring unit 200 for transmitting the information by detecting the motion is used as the image cell phone 210 and the charger 220 are integrally configured to perform a security method. The image mobile phone 210 has a small camera 211 is mounted on one side of the front portion to transmit the motion of the moving subject to the image, the charger 220 is equipped with a motion sensor 221 is applied power Has a plug 230 connected in line.

The camera 211 mounted on the video mobile phone 210 is a camera mounted for using a video phone, and a motion detection sensor mounted on the charger 220 for using the camera 211 in the system of the present invention. Configured to operate by operation of 221. That is, when the image cell phone 210 is mounted on the charger 220, a new terminal (not shown) is configured in addition to the terminal for charging so that a signal by the motion sensor 221 can be contacted. When the 221 responds to the video mobile phone 210 to perform the monitoring function.

In addition, the charger 220 in which the motion sensor 221 is mounted is preferably configured to rotate the portion where the sensor 221 is located along the direction of movement of the subject. The charger 220 configured as described above continuously detects a subject moving out of the first captured position, and because of this rotation, the position of the camera 211 mounted on the front portion of the image mobile phone 210 continues to be the direction of the subject. Is faced.

The server 400 receives the image captured by the camera 211 of the image mobile phone 210 and stores the image for a predetermined time and simultaneously generates a warning sound to the speaker 510 through the line 410, and displays the display unit. The image information is transmitted to 500 to indicate the movement of the subject so that the monitor can determine the situation. In addition, if necessary, the line 410 transmits the information to the display device of the security company 600 (or the police station) so that a person can move to the area where the situation occurs.

The video mobile phone 210, the relay station 300, and the server 400 (for example, a communication company, etc.) are wirelessly connected through radio waves, as shown in FIG. 1, the server and the display unit. The display unit (not shown) of the 500 (including the speaker 510) and the security company 600 (or the police station) is connected by a line 410, but may also be connected wirelessly.

In addition, the security method using a video mobile phone according to the present invention is performed by the system 100 as described above in the following manner, an example of such a method is as shown in FIG.

First, the most suitable method for carrying out the present invention comprises a mode switching step (S1); Sensor operation step (S2); A motion determination step (S3); First warning step S4; Setting time determination step (S5); Warning termination determination step (S6); A second warning step S7; Situation determination step (S8); It has a security company (police) call step (S9).

In the method having the above steps, first, the user switches the video mobile phone 210 to the monitoring mode and mounts the charger 220 in the mode switching step S1, and then the camera 211 of the video mobile phone 210 is installed. ) Should be located to capture where there is a risk of intrusion.

When the image mobile phone 210 performs the monitoring mode as described above, the motion sensor 221 attached to the charger 220 operates to determine whether the subject is captured. These steps are the sensor operation step S2 and the motion determination step S3 shown in FIG.

When the intruder enters the monitoring range of the motion detection sensor 221 in the motion determination step S3 and the motion of the subject is captured by the sensor 221, the signal is transmitted to the first warning step S4. If the movement of the subject is not captured, the motion sensor 221 is continuously operated to monitor the movement of the subject.

When the movement of the subject is detected by the motion sensor 221 in the movement determination step (S3), the image mobile phone 210 calls a phone number previously input to transmit image information regarding the movement of the captured subject. And to communicate with the server 400. This method may be performed in the same manner as the telephone Internet which will soon be operated, or may be performed by other similar internet means. As described above, communication with the server 400 starts and at the same time, the video mobile phone 210 rings the bell to give an intruder an overwhelming feeling to go out again, and the image information captured by the camera 211 is stored in the server 400. You can also save the information.

When monitoring is started by the first warning step (S4), in the setting time determination step (S5) while continuing the first warning step (S4) until a predetermined time has elapsed by the timer of the server 400 Determine if the set time is exceeded.

In the warning cancellation determination step (S6) by the set time determination step (S5), the user inputs a password so that the user ends the situation for a set time and continuously monitors whether the movement of the subject occurs by the motion sensor 221. In this case, the first warning step S4 is terminated and the series of steps S2 to S5 are performed. If the user does not input a password during the set time, the first warning step S4 is continued. do.

The reason for this constant time is to prevent unnecessary transmission of information when the motion of a subject other than the intruder is detected, and when the user moves as described above, the intruder may prevent the intruder from entering the outside in advance. to be.

When the user does not enter a password during the set time in the warning cancellation determination step (S6), that is, such a situation is usually because the user is deeply asleep or an intruder, the user can not move the second warning step (S7) ) Transmits the image information to the display unit 500 to inform the monitor of the situation by the signal of the server 400, and generates a warning sound to the speaker 510.

By the warning step (S7), the monitor can check the situation of the user of the video mobile phone (210). Therefore, if the user's situation is determined by the situation determination step (S6), if it is safe to terminate the situation and block the communication to perform the sensor operation step (S2) again, if the user's situation is dangerous, the security company ( Or a police server (not shown) to connect to a user's situation, that is, transmit image information, generate a warning sound, and also inform the user's location. This step is a security company (or police station) call step (S9).

According to the present invention, since many users can use the security system at low cost, it is possible to prevent an accident (crime) or to have information according to the situation even after an accident, so it is easy to arrest.

In addition, personnel who are dispatched to the place caused by the transmitted information can grasp the extent of such a situation, and it is easier to suppress the situation by preparing countermeasures before or during the dispatch.

In addition, since the location of the monitoring unit to perform the monitoring function can be easily changed the location, the intruder is difficult to determine the location of the monitoring unit, the user has the advantage that can be moved to the most suitable places to use.
