Description

The present invention relates to the technology of centralized protection of objects using technical means of alarm, providing receipt, processing, transmission and presentation to consumers of information on penetration or physical impact on protected objects. Protected objects can be vehicles (TS) and / or real estate objects (apartments, villas, garages and other similar objects).

Consumers of this information are specialized security agencies: private security units, public security police and private security companies that are responsible for the security of citizens' personal and property. The staff of specialized security structures may contain walking and mobile units of the rapid reaction forces. Information consumers can also be owners of vehicles and / or real estate, members of their families, maintenance staff (hereinafter, users).

A known system of centralized protection of objects, containing security sensors (detectors) installed on each guarded object and a receiving and control device connected to them based on a processor that provides digital processing of the received information, as well as a centralized security station (PCO) made with the help of radio channel notification transmission system (SPI) of information messages from alarm control panels installed at guarded facilities, transmission of messages and commands to guarded e objects and centralized control of the actions of foot and mobile units of the rapid reaction forces (RU No. 2122239, G 08 B 25/10).

The disadvantage of this system is the short range of the SPI used in it.

This drawback is eliminated in a system that implements the integrated protection of objects according to RU Patent No. 21519190, B 60 R 25/00, according to which code packages carrying information about the package category are emitted using stationary signaling devices installed on urban infrastructure facilities with known geographical coordinates. , expressed by text, information message or alarm, and information about the location of these facilities, and with the help of subscriber terminal devices installed at the guarded objects emit code parcels containing information about the category of the message, codes of identification signs of the protected object and codes of its belonging to the respective owner, receive these code parcels at geographically spaced base stations of specialized SPI, carry out their preliminary processing and transmit them in digital form to the central station, where using primary digital processing determine the category of the received message, the identification features of the object and the geographical coordinates of the signaling device, emitting this code message, as well as the distance from the subscriber terminal device to the base stations nearest to it, after which they generate and transmit response text messages to the base stations, stationary signaling devices and subscriber terminal devices installed at the guarded objects confirming the fact of taking this object under protection, and in case of unauthorized exposure to any of the protected objects equipped with subscriber terminal devices and the detection of The alarms send an alarm notification to the individual receiver of the owner, while some of the stationary signaling devices are used as base stations, the PCOs digitally process the initially processed code parcels using conditionally constant information about the location and the location of various city structures received from external information sources, and in the process of responding to the fact of unauthorized exposure, the location data previously transmitted from the central monitoring station are updated. direct object.

The disadvantages of this system are its complexity and high cost. The fact is that the deployment of specialized regional communication and data networks over large areas with the centralized control of geographically distributed protected objects requires serious capital expenditures and coordination both with regional authorities and governing bodies, as well as with radio frequency surveillance and control bodies.

Therefore, in recent years, alarm systems have become more widespread, using already deployed and functioning standard mobile networks for communication and data transfer. Moreover, the services of the GSM mobile network operators are most in demand.

This class of technical solutions includes, for example, the following radio alarm systems:

- "Orlan" (www.pas.Kharkov.com),

- "Andromeda" (www.cnord.ru).

- "Smart-Guard" with a packet data transmission system GPRS (www.gsmguard.ru),

- ARKAN (www.spb.arkan.ru) and others.

The indicated class of technical solutions was also reflected in a number of patents obtained by the applicant enterprise (RU No. 2202484, 60 R 25/00, G 08 B 25/08; RU No. 2216463, 60 R 25/00, G 08 B 13 / 08; RU No. 2222089, B 60 R 25/00, G 08 B 25/00 and others).

On the one hand, the use of commercial mobile mobile networks in these complexes is their advantage compared to systems requiring the deployment of specialized SPIs, and on the other hand, it is a disadvantage because it requires payment for the services of commercial mobile cellular networks.

The greatest costs are required by alarm systems in which there is a constant two-way exchange of information between guarded objects and central monitoring stations, and information is transmitted in both directions using messages, for example, via SMS and MMS messages. This service is paid. The amount of payment depends on the number of messages sent or on the amount of information transmitted (in GPRS format).

This closest analogue of the present invention also belongs to this class of technical solutions - a radio-channel security alarm system, containing N security detectors installed on the guarded object, where N≥1, the outputs of which are connected directly or via security alarm loops to the inputs of the control panel containing connected with each other, a memory unit and a processor, the output of which is connected to the input of the security sirens, and the inputs are inputs of a control panel, as well as an SPI containing a terminal device, a cellular mobile communication network, and a user subscriber terminal connected in series with each other, the terminal device comprising a transmitting module configured to transmit notifications over the cellular mobile communication network to a user subscriber terminal, and a receiving module configured to receive via cellular mobile communication network of messages from the user's subscriber terminal, while the microprocessor with the control keyboard, the input of which is connected to the terminal, is included in the terminal device chen to the output of the receiving unit, and the output - to the input of the transmitting unit, and complex security alarm - programmable module to send notices of cellular mobile communications network, coupled to the processor the control panel, and the microprocessor terminal SPI devices. At the same time, GSM standard mobile phones can be used as the terminal device and user subscriber terminal. They are made with the possibility of transmitting information in the form of SMS messages and / or in the form of information packets in the GPRS format (RU No. 2242383, 60 R 25/00, G 08 B 25/10).

In order to reduce the likelihood of false alarms caused by the fact that when entering the protected object the user forgot to turn off the “error when disarming” alarm type in time, this system uses a special operation - a telephone call back to the protected object. To do this, after receiving by the subscriber terminal (for example, a central monitoring station) an alarm SMS message from the protected object, the central monitoring station operator checks the authenticity of this alarm SMS message. To do this, he calls by cell phone to a protected facility. This telephone call is processed by the microprocessor of the terminal device and is presented as a voice message. If the person at the guarded object is a user, then, having heard a voice message, he has the opportunity to communicate with the operator of the central monitoring station by cell phone and inform him of the error that has occurred, thereby preventing a false call of the quick reaction forces. If no response was received, then most likely the entry into the protected facility was unauthorized. In this case, the PTO operator, along with issuing a command to the quick reaction forces, can use the SMS message to act on the relevant executive bodies of the guarded object, for example, remotely lock the entrance door lock of the guarded room.

However, this does not eliminate the aforementioned drawback - the high costs of paying for the services of commercial cellular operators, since voice calls and sending SMS messages are paid services.

The proposed technical solution is aimed at eliminating this drawback.

The subject of the invention is a method for monitoring protected objects, in which messages containing information about the status of protected objects, their location and identification signs are transmitted from the protected objects to the monitoring station, and telephone calls are made from the monitoring station to the protected objects via a standard mobile network, while for protected objects are pre-compiled sets of executive programs, each of which is assigned a telephone number, and in the process of monitoring protected objects the telephone A call from the central monitoring station is made to the appropriate telephone number of the protected object, the specified telephone call is received at the protected object and the telephone number to which it is dialed is determined, the telephone number of the corresponding executive program is identified by the identified telephone number, this executive program is launched and, using it, it is generated and sent to security sirens and the corresponding executive bodies of the guarded object sequence of control signals.

The objective of the invention is the creation of technology to reduce financial costs associated with the operation of technical means of centralized protection of geographically distributed protected objects - vehicles and real estate.

The technical result provided is to reduce the amount of information transmitted in the form of messages via commercial communication channels by launching a specific executive program for each telephone call. Since the phone call itself is free of charge, only that part of the information that is transferred from the protected object to the central monitoring station is actually paid.

Figure 1-3 presents an example of a possible technical implementation of the proposed method for monitoring protected objects.

Figure 1 illustrates the general principle of the implementation of the claimed method.

Figure 2 shows the structural diagram of one of the possible hardware implementations of the equipment of the guarded object and the equipment of the central monitoring station.

Figure 3 shows the structural diagram of one of the possible hardware implementations of the security complex equipment.

N protected objects 2 are connected to the central monitoring station 1 by a standard mobile communication network (Fig. 1).

A security complex 6 is installed at each guarded object 2 (Fig. 2) and there are executive bodies 7. The equipment of the guarded object 2 also includes the first transceiver device 3 and the telephone number storage unit 8. Structurally, the first transceiver device 3 and the telephone number storage unit 8 can be a cell phone equipped with several numbers, each of which can receive a call to this cell phone. All these numbers are stored in the memory of the unit 8 for storing telephone numbers. Unit 8 for storing telephone numbers is connected to unit 9 of executive programs, which is also part of the equipment of guarded facility 2. The output of block 9 of executive programs is connected to the entrance of the security complex 6 and to the inputs of that part of the executive bodies 7 that are not connected with the security complex 6. The first the output of the security complex 6 is connected to that part of the executive bodies 7, which is charged with the function of protecting the protected object from unauthorized influence, for example, to the inputs of controlled relays that impede the movement of th vehicle in case of theft. The second output of the security complex 6 is connected to the input of the message generation unit 17, the output of which is connected to the input of the first transceiver 3, which is capable of two-way radio communication with the second transceiver 4, which is part of the central monitoring station 1.

The composition of the central monitoring station 1 also includes the monitoring station 5 associated with the second transceiver device 4.

The security complex 6 (Fig. 3) contains a set of security detectors 10, the outputs of which are directly (using connecting wires) or via security alarm loops 11 connected to the corresponding inputs of the processor 12, which is part of the control panel 13. The security alarm loop 11 represents an electric circuit, including connecting wires and auxiliary (remote) elements (for example, diodes, resistors, capacitors). The control panel 13 contains, in addition to the processor 12, a memory unit 14 connected to the processor 12. The first output of the processor 12 is connected to the input of the programmable module 16 for transmitting notifications, the output of which is the second output of the security complex 6. The second output of the processor 12 is the first output security complex 6, which is connected to that part of the executive bodies 7 of the protected object 2, which should be triggered by the commands of the security complex 6. For example, it may be an electromechanical lock mechanism of the entrance door The case of a guarded premises, an immobilizer in a guarded vehicle and other similar devices. The third output of the processor 12 is connected to the inputs of burglar alarms 15, which can be used as light and / or sound signaling devices, such as light indicators and / or siren. One of the inputs of the processor 12 is the input of the security complex 6, designed to connect to the output of the block 9 of executive programs.

In the present embodiment, the proposed method for monitoring protected objects, the second transceiver 4 is a GSM standard cell phone capable of receiving notifications as part of SMS messages (and / or in GPRS mode). As the programmable module 16 for transmitting notifications and the block 17 for generating messages, the corresponding blocks of the SMS-4 programmable module available on the commercial market for transmitting notifications to ordinary cell phones can be used. Programmable module 16 for the transmission of notifications (type SMS-4) can be used in conjunction with Nokia 6110, 6130, 6150, 6190, 5110, 5130, 5150, 5190, Siemens C35, S35, C45, S45, ME45 and others.

When activated, security detectors 10 in at least one of the three protected zones set for it, the programmable module 16 for transmitting notifications generates an SMS message intended for sequential transmission to predetermined telephone numbers. This SMS message is received on the first transceiver 3 (included in the cell phone) for subsequent transmission over the cellular mobile network.

The texts of short messages, speech phrases, settings of the programmable module 16 for the transmission of notifications (type SMS-4) are set using a personal computer (not shown in Fig. 3). To connect a computer, use the standard COM port and a cable with a connector, which is included in the kit of programmable module 16 for transmitting notifications.

The processor 12 is connected to the programmable module 16 for transmitting notifications using a cable with a standard connector, similar to the cable connector used to charge the battery of a cell phone.

The connection of the programmable module 16 for transmitting notifications to the message generating unit 17 can be either wired or wireless, for example, using a Bluetooth channel, that is, two microchips that automatically enter into two-way communication with each other within certain range of ranges (up to 10 m or up to 100 m). The Bluetooth channel is used by the applicant company in commercially available hands-free kits REEF HF-1000 (“hands-free”).

Other components of the considered radio channel system that implements the inventive method for monitoring protected objects (security detectors 10, alarm control panel 13, security alarms 15) are used in most well-known fire alarm systems (for example, "Directory of engineering and technical workers and electricians of technical equipment security and fire alarms ", Moscow, GUVO MVD, 1997). Therefore, the possibility of practical implementation of the proposed technical solution is not in doubt.

The considered embodiment of the proposed method for monitoring protected objects works as follows.

For concreteness, we consider the process of monitoring real estate objects (apartments, garages, villas). Vehicle monitoring is somewhat more complicated (since it must take into account additional properties of the vehicle, for example, the possibility of directional movement), but for the tasks solved by the claimed method, the differences between vehicle monitoring and real estate monitoring do not play a role.

A central monitoring station 1, using a standard mobile network, for example, a GSM cellular network, interacts with N geographically distributed guarded objects 2. This interaction is carried out through the terminals of this network — the first transceiver device 3 and the second transceiver device 4 installed, respectively, on the guarded objects 2 and in the central monitoring station 1. The first transceiver device 3 and the second transceiver device 4 can be part of ordinary GSM cell phones. From protected objects 2 to SMS 1, SMS messages are received that carry information about the status of this protected object 2. From PCO 1 to protected objects 2 receive phone calls to certain phone numbers (Fig. 1).

The monitoring station 5, connected with the second transceiver 2, processes the received SMS messages and presents them to the operator of the central monitoring station 1 in the form of information convenient for visual perception. Having received the indicated information, the operator of the monitoring station 1 analyzes it, evaluates the situation and selects the actions that need to be taken in this situation, for example, turn on the siren, turn on the light banner. ENTER THE PASSWORD, lock the front door in the guarded object 2. Next, use the special built-in monitoring station 5 programs (which, in particular, displays information on the monitoring station 5 that is necessary for the operator of the monitoring station 1 to make an adequate decision), the monitoring station 1 determines the numbers of the executive programs with which it can update themselves on certain elements of the security complex 6 and 7 on the executive bodies of the protected object 2. After that, the number of executive programs PCO 1, the operator determines the telephone number on which he must carry out the appropriate dial to the guarded object 2, and sends the call to that number.

Each telephone number by which the operator of the central monitoring station 1 sends a call corresponds to the identification number of the protected object 2 and the number of the executive program, which the security complex 6 and the executive bodies 7 of this protected object must carry out. 2. All these telephone numbers and the corresponding executive programs are entered in advance, accordingly, in the memory of unit 8 for storing telephone numbers and in the memory of unit 9 of executive programs. If the executive program is related to the protection of the protected object 2 from unauthorized influence, then the corresponding address sequence of control signals is sent to the input of the security complex 6. If you need to perform any service function, for example, warm up the vehicle engine located in the protected garage, then the corresponding address sequence control signals are fed directly to those executive bodies 7 of the vehicle that provide the specified function, for example, to the system engine start.

The first transceiver device 3 (as part of a cell phone) is capable of receiving telephone calls arriving at several phone numbers stored in the unit 8 for storing telephone numbers. The telephone call made by the second transceiver device 4 arrives via a standard mobile communication network to the guarded object 2, is received by the first transceiver device 3, which automatically determines the phone number by which the call was made, and transfers this number to the telephone number storage unit 8. In block 8 storing phone numbers on the specified phone number is determined by the number of the relevant Executive program.

The number of the executive program is transmitted to block 9 of executive programs. In accordance with the indicated number of the executive program, the corresponding executive program is searched for in the memory of the block 9 of the executive programs. After finding the specified executive program, it is launched. As a result of working off the specified executive program, the corresponding address sequence of control signals is generated at the output of the block 9 of executive programs. The specified address sequence of control signals enters the security complex 6 and to the executive bodies 7 of this protected object 2, which work out the corresponding control actions.

Let us consider in more detail how security complex 6 works and SMS messages are generated.

When a penetration of the protected object 2 is detected in any of the protected zones, one or several security detectors 10 with which this protected zone is equipped are triggered and alarm notifications are generated. In particular, the operation of the security detector 10, which guards the perimeter of the protected object 2, occurs when the integrity of the security alarm loop 11 connected to this security detector 10 is violated. Several security alarm loops 11 corresponding to different sections of the perimeter can be connected to each such security detector 10 . In Fig. 3, the security alarm loops 11 are not shown (except for the case when one of the security alarm loops 11 is used to connect the corresponding security detector 10 to the processor 12, which is part of the control panel 13).

The operation of the security detector 10 can also be caused by the permissible impact of the maintenance personnel (for example, temporary shutdown of the security detector 10 to replace batteries or other consumable materials, as well as turning it on after a temporary shutdown). At the same time, the security detector 10 generates a service notification, which indicates the password number, which was used to identify the operator who carried out the permissible impact, as well as the conditional code of the permissible impact.

From the security detector 10 (directly or via the security alarm loop 11), the corresponding alarm or service notification comes to the processor 12 of the control panel 13.

The process of transmitting notifications to the processor 12 is violated only when the alarm event that necessitates the formation of the alarm notification is the break of the alarm cable 11 that connects one of the security detectors 10 to the processor 12. Such an event is detected by the processor 12 and generates the corresponding alarm notification. Thus, in the processor 12 is any possible alarm or service notification.

After an alarm or service notification is received in the processor 12, the processor 12 requests code information from the memory unit 14 of the control panel 13 to determine the location and identification signs of the activated security detector 10 (and for some of the security detectors 10, identification signs broken alarm security loop 11), receives this code information from the memory unit 14 and generates a notification on its basis for further transmission over the air and / or issues commands to inclusion of security alarms 15 (sound and / or light). Notifications intended for transmission over the air are received in a programmable module 16 for transmitting notifications, which forwards them to the message generation unit 17. In the block 17 of the formation of messages received notifications are converted into the format used to transmit messages in a standard mobile network, in this case, the format of SMS messages.

This SMS message in the monitoring station 1 is received by the second transceiver device 4 and transmitted to the monitoring station 5 for visual presentation and analysis. Next, the operator PTO 1 is included in the work, which analyzes the content of the received SMS message and, as described above, makes a phone call to the protected object 2, from which the SMS message was received. The procedure for receiving and processing at the guarded object 2 of this telephone call is also described above. Its result is an address sequence of control signals. In the event of unauthorized exposure to the protected object 2, the address sequence of control signals is supplied to one of the inputs of the processor 12 of the reception and control device 13 of the security complex 6. The processor 12 converts the specified sequence of control signals into the form necessary for control:

- burglar alarms 15;

- that part of the executive bodies 7, which is connected to the security complex 6 (this part of the executive bodies 7 includes, for example, a vehicle immobilizer or controlled relays).

This allows the security complex 6 to remotely control the specified executive bodies 7, without going beyond the normal mode, while controlling the security sirens 15. At the same time, with the help of security sirens 15, for example, a warning sound signal is generated and a light banner is entered. ENTER THE PASSWORD.

Thus, in the process of functioning of the system that implements the claimed method, paid SMS messages are received in one direction - from protected objects 2 to CCA 1, and free telephone calls in the other direction - from CCO 1 to protected objects 2. As a result, the amount of information transmitted via commercial communication channels in the form of SMS messages (or in GPRS format) is reduced, while maintaining the normal mode of operation of the system.

Thanks to this, money is saved and, accordingly, the solution of the problem is ensured - the reduction of financial costs associated with the operation of technical means of centralized protection of geographically distributed protected objects - vehicles and real estate objects.
