Abstract

In the conventional answer phone, the so-called “answer phone mode” is extended to “an anticrime answer phone mode”. In this mode, each time a predetermined time has elapsed or immediately after an intruder into home is detected, an audio as follows is reproduced: “Trururu, trururu, trururu, ...I am out now. Speak after the transmission sound. Peee ... Hellow, this is Father speaking. I have now arrived at the station. I’ll be soon at home”. If any intruder is present and hears this, the intruder judges that a family member will soon be home. The intruder probably runs away without stealing anything. That is, by reproducing a message that a family member will soon be at home as if the message were made by an external call, an alarm to an intruder can be generated and it is possible to prevent theft by the intruder.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of an audio output device, an audio output method, and an audio output program according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(Embodiment)

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a configuration of a sound output device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The device shown is a conventional telephone with an answering machine (hereinafter simply referred to as Phone number). In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes a hardware for realizing various functions for realizing a general answering machine (for example, basic functions as a telephone, such as outputting a ringtone and controlling a call, a function for recording and playing a message, etc.). An answering machine function block consisting of software and software. Since the configuration of the answering machine function block 11 is publicly known, a detailed description is omitted.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a control unit that controls the entire apparatus, and is realized by a microprocessor that executes a previously prepared program. An operation unit 13 receives a user's force to switch an operation mode, which will be described later, and is specifically realized by a push button or the like. Reference numeral 14 denotes a mode switching unit that actually switches an operation mode in accordance with an operation received by the operation unit 13, and is realized by the above-described microprocessor. Switching of the operation mode is performed by writing the code corresponding to the mode after the switch to the operation mode storage area secured on the memory.

Here, the operation modes of the present apparatus are roughly classified into “normal mode” and “absent mode (broadly defined)”, and “absent mode (broadly defined)” further includes “absent mode (narrowly defined)”. And "Answering mode". (Note that the following "Answering mode" means the absence mode in a narrow sense unless otherwise specified.)

The “security mode” is a mode in which the function of the “answer mode” is extended. In the "Answering mode", the device functions as a normal answering machine, and also has a built-in "pseudo ring tone", "pseudo answer message", and "pseudo message". Plays sequentially as if by force.

[0018] Here, the "ring tone" is a sound such as "Toululuru" emitted from the telephone when an incoming call is received from the outside, and the "response message" is "I am just going out. The voice of the callee responds to the call on behalf of the family, such as "P.", and the "message message" is "〇〇. Call back." This is the voice of the message. The “pseudo ring tone”, “pseudo response message”, and “pseudo message message” referred to in the present invention are the same as the “ring tone”, “response message”, and “message message”, respectively. Are indistinguishable), but they are actually sounds generated in spite of the power of the incoming call. Yes.

[0019] The pseudo message may be such as "Hello, this is my dad. I have arrived at the station. I will return now." If there is an intruder inside the house and hears this message, there is a high probability that they will escape immediately without stealing the property inside the house. In other words, by impersonating an incoming call and implicitly alerting the resident of returning home, theft by an intruder can be prevented.

Returning to the description of FIG. 1, next, 15 is a transmission instruction for instructing the control unit 12 to output a pseudo ring tone, a pseudo response message, and a pseudo message message when an event specified as rough is generated. Department. The transmission instructing unit 15 is realized by a timer in the first embodiment described later and by a sensor in the second embodiment. In the first embodiment, each time a predetermined time elapses, and in the second embodiment, when an intruder in the house is detected, the transmission instruction unit 15 outputs the above-mentioned voice transmission instruction to the control unit 12, and outputs this. The received instruction is transferred from the control unit 12 to the transmission unit 18 described below.

[0021] Next, reference numeral 16 denotes a message DB (database) holding one or more of the above-described pseudo response message and pseudo message message (voice information), and is specifically realized by a memory. You. Reference numeral 17 denotes a message selection unit for selecting one of the messages in the message DB 16 in response to an instruction from a transmission unit 18 described later, and is specifically realized by the above-described microprocessor.

[0022] Next, a transmission unit 18 receives a transmission instruction input from the control unit 12, and outputs a pseudo ringtone 'pseudo response message and a pseudo message message to the speaker 19, and specifically, an amplifying circuit or the like. Is achieved. Reference numeral 19 denotes a speaker that outputs a pseudo ringtone input from the transmitting unit 18 as a sound. It is assumed that the sound from the speaker 19 can be heard up to a certain distance from the device even when the telephone is in a standby state (the handset is put on and off).

Example 1

Next, FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a configuration of the audio output device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As described above, in Embodiment 1, the transmission instructing unit 15 shown in FIG. Since this is realized, it is shown in FIG. In the figure, each unit other than the clock unit 21 is the same as in FIG. 1, and the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an operation procedure of the audio output device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The control unit 12 periodically refers to the above-mentioned storage area in the memory to determine the current operation mode set in the apparatus (step S31). Then, the subsequent processing branches depending on the operation mode determined here.

[0025] That is, when the operation mode is set to the "normal mode" or the "answering mode", the apparatus performs processing specific to each mode by the answering machine function block 11 (step S32Z step S33). . For example, in step S32 (normal mode), the system waits for an external telephone to come in, and in step S33 (answering machine), in addition to the above, playback of a response message, recording of a message, etc. Since the processes in steps S32 and S33 are known, detailed description will be omitted.

On the other hand, if the current operation mode is the “security mode”, the control unit 12 instructs the clock unit 21 (specifically, a timer) to measure a certain time (step S34). This time should be, for example, about 10 minutes. It should be noted that the time to be measured by the control unit 12 may be randomly determined each time the timer unit 21 is instructed to measure. However, determine only the upper and lower limits, and make sure that the intervals are not too empty or too tight.

When the predetermined time has elapsed (step S35: Yes), the timer unit 21 instructs the control unit 12 to transmit a pseudo ring tone, a pseudo response message, and a pseudo message message (a predetermined signal meaning). Is output. In response to this, the control unit 12 first instructs the transmitting unit 18 to transmit a pseudo ringtone, and the transmitting unit 18 sends the pseudo ringtone prepared in advance to the speaker 19 by the pseudo ringtone transmitting unit 18a. Output (Step S36).

[0028] It is desirable that the pseudo ring tone is different from a true ring tone (a sound emitted in response to an incoming call from the outside in the normal mode or the absence mode). If the family member is at home and the security answering mode is not canceled, the power of a pseudo ringtone can be determined based on the difference in the sound as to whether a call has been received.

When the pseudo ring tone transmitting section 18a outputs the pseudo ring tone several times, it notifies the control section 12 of the fact, and the control section 12 next instructs the transmitting section 18 to transmit a pseudo response message. . Then, the transmitting unit 18 receiving the instruction instructs the message selecting unit 17 from the pseudo response message transmitting unit 18b to select one of the pseudo response messages in the message DB16, and selects the selected message, for example, After the dial tone, talk about your business and output ".P" to the speaker 19 (step S37).

When the pseudo response message transmitting section 18b outputs the pseudo response message, it notifies the control section 12 of the fact, so the control section 12 instructs the transmitting section 18 to transmit a pseudo message message. Then, the transmitting unit 18 receiving the instruction instructs the message selecting unit 17 from the pseudo message transmitting unit 18c to select one of the pseudo message messages in the message DB16, and selects the selected message, for example, "Hello, here. I'm Dad. I've arrived at the station. I'm going back. "To the speaker 19 (step S38).

[0031] At this time, the message selecting section 17 uses the pseudo message message in the message DB 16 that has recently been used, such as the last one (specifically, the last N times or the last N minutes). Selects another pseudo-message message). The reason for avoiding recent uses in this way is that if an intruder hears the exact same message repeated, it cannot be seen as "sham". On the other hand, the content of the pseudo-response message selected in step S37 does not need to be changed every time as in the case of the pseudo-message message, so the message selecting unit 17 may select any one of the prepared pseudo-response messages each time. . In this case, the pseudo-response message may be fixedly provided in the pseudo-response message transmitting unit 18b that is connected to the message DB16.

[0032] For example, in a one-room apartment where it is apparently a single-person household, the message that the father returns home lacks credibility. The user may be able to select according to the configuration and so on. For example, a plurality of messages belonging to the "family return home" category and a plurality of messages belonging to the "visitor" category are prepared, and in a single household, a message is selected from the category of the thorn rose "visitor". A pseudo-message message in the “Visitor” category is a message that predicts a visit by a third party other than a family member, for example, “I ’m going to arrive in a few minutes.” is there.

[0033] According to the first embodiment described above, while the "security-absent mode" is set, the constant Every time, the housekeeper calls over the house, and at the same time, pretends that the housekeeper will return home immediately, which has the effect of quickly moving out intruders (¾LV, if any) in the house. As with conventional home security, there is no need for dedicated equipment, installation locations, or enormous costs, and a single telephone is sufficient. At first glance, it seems that an ordinary answering machine functions as a security device, and there is little danger that an intruder will notice and be destroyed or disabled.

Example 2

Next, FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the audio output device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As described above, in the second embodiment, the transmission instructing unit 15 shown in FIG. 1 is realized by a sensor. Therefore, in FIG. 4, it is shown as an intrusion detecting unit 41 which is a lower concept thereof. In the figure, each unit other than the intrusion detection unit 41 is the same as in FIG. 1, and the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. Note that the sensor may be any sensor, such as a person or a moving object in a house, an opening / closing of a window or an opening / closing of a lock, as long as it can detect an intrusion by someone or a sign of intrusion.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an operation procedure of the audio output device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The control unit 12 periodically refers to the above-described storage area in the memory to determine the current operation mode set in the apparatus (step S51), and determines whether the operation mode is the “normal mode” or the “answering mode”. Performs processing specific to each mode (step S52Z step S53). The processing in step S52Z step S53 is the same as step S32Z step S33 shown in FIG.

On the other hand, if the current operation mode is the “security mode”, the control unit 12 activates the intrusion detection unit 41 (specifically, a sensor) to sense whether or not there is an intruder in the house. (Step S54). If the intrusion detection unit 41 detects an intruder (step S55: Yes), the pseudo ringtone 'pseudo-response message' and the pseudo-message message are sequentially sent to the speaker, as in step S36—step S38 shown in FIG. Output from step 19 (Step S56—Step S58).

According to the second embodiment described above, while the “security absence mode” is set, the sensor periodically operates to check for the presence of an intruder, and when the intruder is detected, Immediately after that, a message is sent as if a householder is coming home soon, which can be expected to have the effect of quickly leaving the intruder in the house (earlier than in Example 1). In contrast to Embodiment 1 where messages continue to be sent regardless of the presence or absence of an intruder, Embodiment 2 sends messages only when an intruder is present (at least the possibility is high), so there is no waste in processing. .

[0038] As described above, the voice output device according to the first and second embodiments includes a force operation unit 13, a transmission unit 18, and a speed, which are obtained by adding a control unit 12-speaker 19 to a conventional answering machine. It is not always necessary to add the force 19, etc., and an existing one in the answering machine function block 11 may be used. The control unit 12—speaker 19 is a relatively simple mechanism, and its cost is not so high even if it is installed separately. The increase in cost is almost negligible.

The control unit 12—speaker 19 may be housed in an answering machine so that it is stored in a separate housing, and this device may be provided with a telephone (with or without an answering machine function). In this case, the user need only purchase the above devices without replacing the telephone. The above device does not need to be connected to the telephone, but it must be sufficiently connected so that the sound emitted from the speaker 19 is illusioned by the intruder as if it were emitted from the telephone body. Need to be installed in close proximity. For example, the device may be in the form of a flat board so that it can be inserted into a small space between the telephone and the telephone stand.

[0040] Then, while the power is turned on, the apparatus repeatedly executes the processing shown in FIG. 6 or FIG. That is, FIG. 6 corresponds to the first embodiment described above, and the time is measured by a timer (step S61), and every time a fixed time elapses (step S62: Yes), the pseudo ring tone-pseudo response message The messages are played back sequentially (step S63—step S65). On the other hand, FIG. 7 corresponds to the second embodiment described above. When the sensor is activated (step S71) and an intruder is detected (step S72: Yes), a pseudo ring tone, a pseudo response message, and a pseudo message are displayed. The messages are played sequentially (step S73—step S75).

In particular, as described above, when the audio output device according to the present invention is realized as a device different from the telephone, the voice emitted from the device does not necessarily need to imitate that of the telephone. For example, skip the playback of pseudo ringtones and pseudo-response messages. Tell the intruding thief. You are completely surrounded. Warnings that give a strong sense of danger to the intruder, such as "Please drop immediately.""This house is being monitored by the 〇〇 system. An intruder has been detected. Security guards will rush to the site immediately." You may make it play only. In the case where the voice output device according to the present invention is incorporated in an answering machine, such a warning may be sent instead of a dummy ring tone or message.

In the above-described first and second embodiments, the “ring tone” and the “message” are distinguished from each other, but the data is still some kind of audio information. So, for example, "Toullulu, Toulururu, Toulururu's' I'm out right now. Please talk about your business after the dial tone. Hello, this is my dad. Like the above pseudo ringtone 'pseudo-response message' pseudo-message message concatenated a series of three voices, or "I'm invading the house now! /, Tell the thief. A lot of mere warning sounds such as "surrounded. Please drop immediately" are prepared, and when a certain period of time elapses or when an intruder is detected, a recently used V 使用 is selected. You can do it!

As described above, according to the first, tenth, and nineteenth aspects, the first audio information and the second audio information are sequentially reproduced when a predetermined event occurs. According to the invention described in claim 4, claim 13, or claim 22, when a predetermined event occurs, the first audio information, the second audio information, and the third audio information are sequentially reproduced. According to the invention described in Claim 2, Claim 3, Claim 5, Claim 11, Claim 12, Claim 14, Claim 20, Claim 21, or Claim 23, each of them The ringtone of the telephone-the answering message. Since the sound is similar to the message message, when the above-mentioned event occurs, nobody can call you. In addition, the reproduction of the sound is performed at predetermined time intervals according to the invention described in claim 6, claim 15 or claim 24, and is intruded according to the invention described in claim 7, claim 16 or claim 25. The above-mentioned effects can be expected even when an intruder comes in, since each is performed when an intruder is detected. According to claim 8 · claim 9 · claim 17 · claim 18 · claim 26 or claim 27, the same message message is played back continuously. Control so that the intruder does not see the message as a dummy. The audio output method described in the present embodiment can be realized by executing a prepared program on an arithmetic processing device such as a processor or a microcomputer. This program is recorded on a recording medium such as ROM, HD, FD, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, MO, DVD, etc., which can be read by an arithmetic processing unit, and is read by the arithmetic processing unit. Be executed. This program may be a transmission medium that can be distributed via a network such as the Internet.
