Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an elevator management system using a wireless emergency signal operating function,

The present invention relates to a technique capable of driving an emergency switch wirelessly in an emergency situation in an elevator.

Recently, various crimes in the elevator have become social issues. A sex crime against a child occurred in an elevator in an apartment, and people were greatly shocked by the fact that the safest place to live was the place of crime.

Elevators are a necessity for high-rise buildings including apartments. However, when the elevator is running, it becomes a closed room without a refuge, so it is placed in a defenseless state against various crimes. In particular, sex offenders prefer a closed space as a crime place, and one of the spaces meeting these conditions was an elevator.

Most elevators are equipped with surveillance cameras to prevent and monitor crimes within these elevators. However, it is actually very difficult for a person to continuously monitor an image taken by a surveillance camera in real time. Furthermore, since the recent unemployment security system has become more systematic due to the labor cost problem, the prevention of crime is hardly expected. Indeed, surveillance cameras installed in elevators are often used to identify criminals after a crime has been committed, rather than for crime prevention purposes.

In addition, an emergency pager or the like is installed in the elevator so that the passenger can press the emergency pager in an emergency so as to inform him / her of the danger. However, since the emergency pager is installed at a certain location, it is difficult to move the victim to that position in most crime situations and press the emergency pager.

The input signal switch 110 may be a structure provided in a small terminal in the form of a remote control, a form of a transportation card that can be carried in a wallet, a bag or a pocket, or a key ring, It can be implemented in a structure that can not be performed. Regardless of the structure of the input signal, the input signal switch 110 can be implemented as a component capable of generating a pressure-type or touch-type input signal, thereby realizing a single input signal. For example, it is possible to transmit a radio frequency signal having a specific pulse, which can be implemented as a driving signal of an emergency signal switch, or a combination of various signals can be realized. This will be described with reference to an exemplary embodiment of the wireless terminal 100 of the present system shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 as follows.

The wireless terminal 100 of the present system includes a first switch 111 for generating a frequency related to an emergency emergency signal in case of an emergency such as a crime by forming a plurality of switches so as to realize various input signals, A second switch 112 for generating a specific frequency related to a fault signal when an emergency situation occurs, and a second switch 112 for, when a sudden illness or emergency medical situation occurs, The third switch 113 for generating the first to third signals, and the like according to a specific situation. In addition, a fourth switch for generating a release signal according to a predetermined pattern (for example, recognizing the release signal when the switch is continuously pressed 5 times) when the switch of the wireless terminal of the system is accidentally pressed by mistake .

The switching signal according to the first to fourth switches may be configured to include an input signal forming unit 120 that processes the switching signal into a wireless signal that can be transmitted through the input signal forming unit 120 of the wireless terminal 100 It is possible. In the case of the input signal forming unit 120, the input signal forming unit 120 is processed into a radio signal to be recognized as an urgent signal of a specific subject in cooperation with a unique code storage unit 140 that stores a unique code of an owner possessing the wireless terminal 100 It is also possible. The input signal forming unit 120 includes first to fourth signal forming units 121 to 124 capable of receiving the switching signals from the first to fourth switches and transmitting the radio frequency signals with pulses of different emergency signals, ). ≪ / RTI >

The time comparator 151 recognizes a predetermined pattern of the release signal and determines the reference time after the emergency signal switching is performed when the release signal can be formed within a predetermined period of time in the case where the user depresses the erroneous signal, And an input pulse comparator 152 for determining the requirement of whether a predetermined fixed pattern is input or not.

2, in the present system, an emergency signal processing unit for receiving an input signal transmitted from the wireless signal transmitting unit 130 of the wireless terminal 100 and transmitting the emergency signal to the outside in cooperation with the emergency switch, (210). In addition, the emergency signal processing unit 210 may be embedded in the elevator terminal 200 inside the elevator. Particularly, the system may further include an alarm signal processing unit 500 for driving a warning signal or performing a recording process according to the input signal disposed in the first management terminal 300 or the elevator terminal 200 have.

The emergency signal processing unit 210 includes an input signal receiving unit 211 for receiving a wireless input signal transmitted from the wireless terminal, a second emergency signal different from the first emergency signal according to the emergency switch in the elevator, And an emergency signal transmitter for transmitting the second emergency signal to the primary management terminal through a conventional wired communication line or a wireless communication line.

The input signal receiver 211 receives a radio signal transmitted from the wireless terminal, and the emergency signal generator 212 generates an emergency signal based on an input signal input from the wireless terminal. (Second signal) that is different from the emergency signal (first signal) that is generated when it is pressed. That is, the emergency signal input through the wireless terminal and the signal input through the emergency switch can be distinguished from each other, and input from an external management terminal can be received, thereby forming more accurate information on the emergency situation, thereby realizing efficient coping. This is because the input signal input from the wireless terminal to the present system can be classified into signals according to medical conditions and failure situations as well as dangerous situations such as crime situations, .

To this end, the system may further include an alarm signal processing unit 500 for driving an alarm signal in the elevator or in a place where the primary management terminal is disposed in association with the transmission of the emergency signal.

For example, when an emergency signal of a criminal situation is formed, the warning signal processing unit 500 drives the image recording processing unit 510 to record a situation in the elevator in real time in conjunction with the formation and transmission of the emergency signal In this case, it is possible to implement a high-quality video recording apparatus unlike general recording, and it is possible to make a time and a video shooting position different from a general CCTV, .

In addition, the warning signal processing unit 500 further includes a warning display unit 520, and a voice and typed warning phrase (30 seconds before the police is dispatched) is provided so that the warning about the immediate criminal can be continuously notified in the elevator It is more preferable to be able to guide the user.

The warning signal processing unit 500 includes a warning lamp installed in a management room where a primary management terminal 300 as a central management server is disposed, a beacon light driving unit 530 for driving a beacon and an alarm sound inside and outside the elevator, So that the criminal can be informed in real time so that the crime can be prevented in advance. And a guiding voice transmitting unit 540 for transmitting an automatic guiding voice including positional information of the elevator in a place where the primary management terminal is disposed, in association with the transmission of the emergency signal of the elevator.

Particularly, the characteristic part of this system is to utilize wired and communication lines that are linked with the management room through the existing emergency switch as it is. That is, the elevator terminal can utilize the existing communication line for transmitting the emergency signal by interlocking with the emergency signal processing unit 210 itself with the emergency switch, thereby greatly reducing the installation cost.

However, when the emergency signal transmitted from the elevator terminal 200 is received and classified, the emergency signal is classified into an emergency situation in which the crime situation or the urgent situation is contested, a signal is immediately sent to the secondary control terminal 400 such as a police station or a hospital It is preferable that the primary management terminal 300 further includes an emergency signal receiving unit 310 and an emergency signal classifying unit 320 for classifying the emergency signal. Further, the emergency signal itself is determined to be the first signal originating from the wireless terminal, and if the emergency signal is present in the emergency state, the emergency call unit 330 may transmit the emergency call signal to the relevant agency immediately .

In addition, in the primary management terminal 300 of the present system, when an emergency signal is received, a monitoring unit 340 is provided to allow simultaneous monitoring and monitoring through an image input unit of the elevator in which the signal is transmitted , And in the case of a large-sized building, it is preferable that the elevator division code formation unit 360 is further provided to grasp the exact elevator position.

The elevator identification code forming unit 360 includes a reader such as RFID that can read the position identification code outside the elevator in addition to the unique number (seven digits in Arabic numerals) of the elevator itself. So that the elevator identification code can be formed so that it can be confirmed whether or not the elevator is stopped.

For example, when the WCDMA is used, the information of the elevator identification code can be transmitted as a character to the secondary management terminal through the SMS transmitting unit 350, and even when it is transmitted as a wireless signal through the emergency call unit, So that it is possible to confirm the accurate position information. Alternatively, in addition to providing the warning text display unit 520 of the warning signal processing unit 500 described above in the elevator, the management room may also be provided with a guidance voice transmitting unit (when using the PSTN) to automatically guide the position and emergency situation of the elevator in the form of a guidance voice ), And the guidance voice is transmitted during the transmission of the emergency signal, and the automatic transmission is automatically inputted to the position number of the elevator.

In this regard, the secondary management terminal 400 such as a maintenance company for managing the elevator, a fire department, a hospital, a security company, and a police station receives an emergency call signal or a general paging signal transmitted from the primary management terminal 300 And a position information analyzer 420 for matching and displaying elevator position information according to the receiving terminal 410 and the elevator identification code.

4 shows an example of the formation of an emergency call signal transmitted to the secondary management terminal.

That is, the example of FIG. 4 exemplifies the format of data output by forming a wireless transmission signal when an emergency signal is classified in the primary management terminal and instant dispatch is required in an emergency situation.

As shown in the figure, the configuration of the wireless data outputted in the emergency situation is as follows. A is a start bit area, B is a bit area including information of the elevator location identification code, C is a status code D is a CRC code bit field for error checking, and E is an end bit field indicating the end of a message. Of course, in the case of such wireless data, the personal information of the user transmitting the emergency signal may be included. In this case, in case of emergency patients, the patient database may be linked with the hospital database .

5 is a flowchart showing an example of driving the present system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

First, when the user presses a switch corresponding to an emergency situation through the wireless terminal, the wireless terminal transmits an input signal corresponding to the emergency situation to the emergency signal processing unit in the elevator and presses the emergency switch. However, in this case, an identifiable signal different from the signal generated when the emergency switch is directly pressed is implemented.

When an emergency signal is transmitted, a warning signal is driven in the elevator at the same time in conjunction with the emergency signal. The primary management terminal classifies the emergency signal to send out SMS, and in case of emergency, emergency emergency call signal can be transmitted, And make effective measures possible.

Of course, when a switch input signal of a specific pattern is input within a predetermined time after the input signal of the first wireless switch and is recognized as a cancel signal, the driving of such a system is terminated.

As described above, according to the present system, even in an emergency situation in which an emergency switch provided in the elevator can not be pressed, the user can drive the emergency switch via radio, thereby enabling efficient coping in an urgent situation, It is possible to monitor at the same time in the management office as well as to make a call to the management company that can cope with the situation and the trouble situation, and to be able to secure the safety. Furthermore, the present invention can be implemented using a system having an emergency call switch of an existing management room and an elevator as it is, and it is possible to ensure efficient elevator safety and management while minimizing the installation cost.
