Description

 Specification

 Residential information communication system, Residential resident secret information storage system

 [0001] This proposal is a technology that applies an electronic tag with a sensor, and the sensor is an attitude sensor or a motion sensor based on acceleration, and is an information communication system used by residents of single-family houses and apartment houses such as condominiums, The present invention relates to a secret information storage system for residential residents. An example of suitable information (secret information) is information relating to housing security, for example, locking of entrances and exits of houses.

 [0002] Here, an electronic tag is a tag with an IC chip and an antenna built therein. Individual identification information and the like are stored in the tag, and the identification information and the like are read and written by radio waves. Is possible. By using radio waves, it is possible to read and write without touching, and to simultaneously read information from multiple tags. Electronic tags and IC tags, wireless electronic tags, wireless IC tags, and RF (Radio Frequency) wireless tags are all the same. There is a distance limitation in remote information transmission of electronic tags. However, in this plan, this limitation can be reversed. In other words, the proposed system can be used as an information communication condition and a secret decryption condition because it can be easily grasped that the resident who is the system user is in the residential house.

 Background art

[0003] The electronic tag mainly has the following characteristics. · Data can be sent and received, 'Operates without battery,' Thin and small type can be embedded in things, 'From inexpensive products with only ID reading function to high-function products that can read and write information etc. There are many types. The excellent features of RFID tags are vital and are expected to be used in a wide range, and a wide variety of RFID tags are being put into practical use depending on the usage scene and purpose. There are several forms, such as those with only ro information written, those with a memory area where information can be written, those that require power, and those that do not. For example, the contactless IC force represented by the “Trademark Suica” of East Japan Railway (CJR East) is a form of electronic tag. [0004] The information receiving and transmitting device described in Patent Document 7 and Patent Document 8 filed by the inventor is also a form of an electronic tag, and is an applied technology of an electronic tag with a sensor. Patent Document 8 is a communication device that remotely transmits fixed information (fixed information) defined by users. It uses an object that takes multiple stationary postures with a 3-axis posture sensor (3-axis acceleration sensor). It provides an extremely simple communication tool. Hereinafter, Patent Document 8 which is one of the background arts of the present invention will be described.

 [0005] Examples of fixed information include fixed information such as whether a financial institution or an elderly person living alone is in an urgent state, and whether a company employee is present at home, during a meeting. Information on whereabouts, information on fixed menu orders at restaurants, and the eyes of Sugorota. Patent Document 8 is a simple communication device that employs a handle such as a polyhedron or a sphere as a transmission tool, an easily familiar and familiar object, and an object with excellent design.

 A known three-axis acceleration sensor (three-axis attitude sensor) will be described with reference to FIG. The three-axis attitude sensor P is a combination of three elements that detect mechanical sag (deflection) at the site of installation. That is, an element for detecting stagnation is fixed in the directions of the A-a axis, B-b axis, C-c axis, or the surface stretched by each axis schematically shown by the regular hexahedron in FIG. These elements detect mechanical itch in each direction. The stagnation detection axes do not necessarily intersect each other, but if they are not parallel to each other, the 3D posture and 3D acceleration can be obtained by linear transformation of the axial direction information. (See Patent Document 6)

 [0007] The element for detecting the sag is a material having a piezoelectric effect, and generates an electrical signal corresponding to the mechanical deflection. If three of these piezoelectric elements are arranged on three non-parallel axes, the three-dimensional posture of the output force of these elements can be discriminated. That is, for posture 1 in Fig. 7, the output of the A-a axis stagnation detection element is 11, the output of the B-b axis stagnation detection element is 21, and the output of the C-c axis stagnation detection element is 32. (This is abbreviated as (11, 21, 32)), (10, 21, 31) for posture 2, (11, 21, 30) for posture 3, (11, 22, 31) for posture 4, etc. Thus, different stagnation outputs can be obtained with different postures. Based on these outputs, postures 1, 2, 3, and 4 can be distinguished. The acceleration can be detected in the same manner as the itch. The explanation is omitted.

[0008] Three-dimensional attitude · Three-dimensional acceleration sensor is known, for example, "Piezoresistive type three-axis acceleration sensor" manufactured by Hitachi Metals, Ltd. This is a three element MEMS (micromachine) It is an analog sensor package that is three-dimensionally incorporated into an ultra-small and ultra-thin IC chip based on technology.

 [0009] It is well known that a three-dimensional posture · a three-dimensional acceleration sensor is arranged on a moving body such as an automobile or a train to detect and analyze the posture and motion (acceleration) of the moving body. The purpose of detection and analysis is to control moving objects and prevent accidents (see Patent Document 1). It is similar to this, but it is also known that 3D posture · 3D accelerometers are installed on doors and windows, and their posture (motion) (acceleration) is detected and used as a security sensor. . (See Patent Document 5)

 It is also known to detect and analyze a posture (movement) (behavior) by attaching a three-dimensional posture / three-dimensional acceleration sensor to a living body. (Refer to Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2) Such detection and analysis include health management, disease prediction, or rehabilitation 'training of athletes and improvement of exercise performance' training, or confirmation of the safety of elderly people living alone. Is the purpose. In this case, so-called vital sensors that detect body temperature, heart rate, pulse wave, respiration, etc. can also be attached to the living body. On the other hand, there is an example of remote communication technology using portable terminals for convenience of ordering at restaurants and streamlining of order management, which is one of the technical applications of Patent Document 8. (See Patent Documents 3 and 4)

 By the way, the techniques of Patent Document 7 and Patent Document 8 have parts similar to the “softly transmit information” apparatus described in Patent Document 9 and Patent Document 10. (See Fig. 5: Description of the device in Patent Documents 9 and 10) However, Patent Documents 7 and 8 and Patent Documents 9 and 10 are completely different in the quality of information to be transmitted. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, in Patent Documents 7 and 8, the force that transmits “fixed information” unrelated to posture and acceleration to a remote station Patent Documents 9 and 10 include posture and acceleration. It conveys force information rather than “detection information of sensors detected in real time”. Therefore, although Patent Documents 7 and 8 and Patent Documents 9 and 10 have similar hardware configurations, they can be said to be different technologies. Moreover, Patent Documents 9 and 10 are limited to information output means that emit light (having light output).

[0012] The basic hardware configuration of the home information communication system of the present plan follows the configuration of Patent Document 8. The basic hardware configuration of the residential resident's secret information storage system of this proposal follows the configuration of Patent Document 7. However, in Patent Document 7 and Patent Document 8 of these earlier applications, it is used by residents of apartment houses such as detached houses and apartments. Specific aspects of information communication and secret information storage are disclosed. Note that there is a similar part to Patent Document 11 regarding the use of posture and movement as a secret key. However, Patent Document 11 is a technology that performs personal authentication based on attitude and movement when using personal devices (portable terminals). What is information communication and confidential information storage for residential residents handled by this proposal? , Its purpose and method are different.

 [0013] On the other hand, in the supply of electric power to advanced detached houses and apartment buildings such as condominiums, it is installed in such detached houses and apartment buildings such as condominiums. A technique using an IT (Information Technology) function is disclosed as a method and apparatus for measuring the amount of power used (see Patent Documents 12 and 12). The IT (Information Technology) function of this energy measuring device can be used in various ways. For example, it can be linked with information home appliance systems and security systems.

Here, the station N is built in the power usage measuring device installed in the house or adjacent to the power usage measuring device installed in the house, and is electrically connected to the power usage measuring device. It is connected.

 [0018] Further, (Claim 2) any force of the external connection destination "74" communicating with the station N via the station N or the power usage measuring device "66" is associated with the posture of the object M. Receiving means for receiving the remote transmission signal of the secondary information, the object M having a means "η10" for obtaining secondary information based on the fixed information and a means "nl l" for remotely transmitting the secondary information , And a system having both means for outputting the secondary information.

 [0019] Preferably, (Claim 3) the fixed information associated with the posture of the object M is information related to locking of a doorway of a house or information related to safety of a house.

[0020] In other words, the secret information storage system according to the present invention (Claim 4) provides the secret information of a resident in a house where a power consumption measuring device having means for connecting to an external communication network is provided. Is used as a secret key for the attitude of two or more objects M provided with an attitude sensor and means for remotely transmitting the attitude sensor output, and is provided with a means for receiving a remote transmission signal of the object M to measure the amount of electric power used. The system stores data using station N connected to the device, and station N connected to the power consumption measuring device installed in the house and the station Either the external connection destination that communicates with station N via Chillon N or the power consumption measuring device creates a data set for the posture sensor output range that combines the posture sensor output range data of the two or more objects M.

Preferably, (Claim 7) the confidential information may be confidential information relating to locking of the entrance of a house or confidential information relating to the safety of the house. Confidential information on housing safety is related to repair 'disaster prevention-crime prevention, etc.' and is inconvenient information if it is leaked to a third party. Also, the two people One of the above resident may be a pet owned by a resident instead of a human. Of course, it is not necessarily confidential information shared by two or more residential residents, but it may be confidential information of a single individual. A single individual owns one object M, and it is possible to use a sequence of postures and movements that differ in time as a secret key.

 The invention's effect

 [0023] With this proposal, the resident power of detached houses and apartment houses such as condominiums is simple and inexpensive (without requiring IT equipment purchase) without having IT (Information Technology) equipment such as personal computers and portable information equipment. A) Information communication system and residential resident information storage system will be available. Information to be communicated (confidential information) is typically information related to the locking of entrances and exits of homes or information on the safety of homes, including burglar (suspicious person) intrusion, fire, gas leak, water leak, electrical leak From the critical situation, the time when the contractor enters for repairs, the safety confirmation information for the elderly living alone, the confirmation information and the confirmation of the normal operation of the electric gas water utility, etc. These may also be inconvenient if they are leaked to a third party, but they can be kept secret.

 [0024] Other information includes the following. For example, business plans, funding plans, sales plans, and business secrets shared by investors and business owners and managers and employees, and for example, wills shared by related couples, parents and children, and lovers And confidential information such as promises. In particular, it may be information that is not disclosed to secret sharers until a certain time, as in the example of a will. As a special example, it may be the case that the animal and the owner (resident) share a secret (not a person), in which case the animal and the owner have a secret key for posture 'action, eg a house entrance key. I have information.

[0025] In particular, if the remote communication limit (restriction), which is also a weak point as an electronic tag, is reversely used, the secret sharer will be in close proximity by releasing the secret key, and there will be a resident in the residence The conditions can be realized very easily. In other words, by using radio waves that reach the limit (restriction) distance of telecommunications only a few meters, the condition that the objects M are close to each other and are in that place, unless the secret key can be released. Can do. As a result, even if a person who is not a resident who has one side of the object M and does not have the power to try to release the secret key at a remote location, the effect is that the level of retention as a shared secret is high and the difficulty is high. can get.

Here, secondary information will be described later, but it is also possible to simply send a secret release signal. ni l sends the secondary information that the actual secret information is confidential to the recipient NO protected by encryption, and that the conditions for releasing the 喑 sign are cleared.

FIG. 4 shows a configuration in which there are a plurality of slaves corresponding to the master M0 of FIG. 3 which is the second embodiment of the present invention. The slave has three or more transmission sources: object Μ1, Μ2 ···· Μη. FIG. 15 shows a further configuration of the first embodiment of the present invention (reception-only form) in FIG. 2 (there are η transmission sources, each transmitting attitude / motion data to an individual receiving station Νη). is there. In Fig. 15, station Νη is more sophisticated than station の in Figs. 1 and 2, and has means ni l for remotely transmitting secondary information. Station Nn is the master for the other slave stations N1, N2, and N3, and the master station Nn receives the secondary information of the slave stations Nl, N2, and N3. Secrecy · Send the secondary information that the conditions for secrecy and decryption are met to the recipient NO protected by encryption. The configuration shown in Fig. 15 has a large amount of hardware, but it is not difficult to configure multiple sets of M and N, and the above-mentioned software can be installed in Nn, which is the station master.

 [0032] The basic configurations of the object M and the station N are the same as in Patent Document 8. In the following, using the description in Patent Document 8, an electronic tag with a sensor according to the present invention, that is, an object M equipped with a means for remotely transmitting the attitude or acceleration) sensor and the attitude or acceleration) sensor output, and Station N will be described. The following fixed information is synonymous with the confidential information in this proposal. The device of Patent Document 8 is a device that outputs fixed information related to postures of an object M having a plurality of postures at a station N separated from the object M, and the object M is a (3-axis) posture sensor. P, a modulation means m2 for modulating the attitude sensor output to a radio wave signal and a radio wave transmission means m3 having an antenna, and the remote station N is a receiver having an antenna for remotely receiving the radio wave Means n2, means n3 for demodulating the received radio wave, and memory means n4 having n4a, n4b, n4c are provided. Here, n4a is the first storage means for storing the range data of the posture sensor output when the object M is stationary, and n4b is the fixed information associated with the posture of the object M is stored in the first storage means. The second storage means n4c stored correspondingly is means for storing the correspondence between the storage location of the output range data of n4a and the storage location of the information of n4b by an address or a pointer.

[0033] Further, the separation station N includes the following means n6. That is, it is determined whether or not the received signal of the receiving means n2 is included in the range of one output range data stored in the first storage means n4a, and if included, the output range data of the first storage means Corresponding with Means for quoting the fixed information stored in the second storage means n4b, and means n7 for outputting (displaying) the quoted fixed information to a liquid crystal display monitor or the like.

Here, the storage write of the storage means n4 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, “Is object M stationary? And “Is there any fixed information that I want to associate with the posture of object M?” Both are Ye s. In that state, at the remote station N, “Get the attitude sensor output reception signal from n3”.

 [0035] The received signal is a posture sensor signal corresponding to the stationary state of the object M. Therefore, in order to facilitate the determination described later, the range with an appropriate margin before and after the signal value is referred to as “attitude sensor output range data” and “the signal range including the signal obtained from n3 is“ Write to n4a as “range data of attitude sensor output”. At the same time, “write fixed information to n4b to associate with the posture of object M”. In addition, three write operations are performed: “Write the correspondence of the storage location of the“ range data of attitude sensor output ”of n4a” and “record and information associated with the attitude of the object M” of n4b to n4c. These writing operations use means n5 for writing and correcting as necessary. FIG. 13 illustrates the state of the storage means n4 (storage means having n4a, n4b, and n4c) that has been written.

 For the sake of simplicity, the example and description in FIG. 13 are shown as the case where the fixed information associated with the posture of the object Mr in FIG. 12 is “present”, “going out”, “meeting”, and “returning home”. In this proposal, the fixed information is secret information, and n4a stores the secret key data based on the posture and acceleration sensor output of multiple objects M. This is, for example, range data of posture sensor output in a specific posture of Ml and range data of posture sensor output in a specific posture of M2. In n4b, secret information is stored corresponding to the storage in the first storage means. n6 determines whether or not the signal of n3 matches the plurality of secret key data conditions of n4a, and when it matches, cites the secret information of n4b stored corresponding to the storage of that n4a Means.

[0037] The electronic tag with a posture sensor according to the present invention can be disposed on a structural component having an arbitrary shape. As a simple example of the arrangement, Fig. 8 shows an example of a polyhedron Mto called object Truncated octahedron: Truncated Octahedron, in which a triaxial attitude sensor (Pto) is fixedly arranged inside Mto. Different posture outputs (χ ·, Χ2, Χ3) (Υ1, Υ2, Υ3) (Zl, Ζ2, Ζ3) are output from the internal posture sensor Pto according to posture X · posture Υ · posture Z. m2 'm 3 (not shown).

 [0038] After the memory writing operation of the flow of FIG. 11 is performed, the fixed information is output and displayed at the remote station N when the object M assumes a specific posture associated with the fixed information in the flow of FIG. The processing at the remote station N (processing of n6) will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. 10. First, the process of “obtaining the received signal from n3” is performed, and then the received signal value from n3 is stored in ¾4a. Is included in the specified data range? ], And if the power is Yes, it means “quote the n4b information stored corresponding to the memory of n4a and output it to n7”. Since the flow diagram in Fig. 10 is also simple, it is shown as the case where the fixed information associated with the posture of the object Mr is "attended", "going out", "meeting", "going home". In this proposal, the fixed information is secret information. “Whether the received signal value from n3 matches the multiple secret key data conditions stored in n4a? ], And if it is Yes, it means “quote the secret information of n4b stored corresponding to the memory of n4a and output it to n7”.

 [0039] In the above-described form, a form in which bidirectional communication between the force object M and the station N, which was unidirectional communication to the object M force station N, is also effective. The configuration is obtained by adding the following components to the one-way communication configuration described so far (see Fig. 14). That is, (Patent Document 8 claim 2), in remote station N, means η10 for obtaining secondary information based on the secret information quoted in the process of n6, means for remotely transmitting the secondary information nl l, object In M, the receiving means mi l for receiving the remote transmission signal of the secondary information and the secondary information output means mlO are combined. Means for obtaining secondary information nlO determines, for example, the above-mentioned “third storage means for storing the expected signal reception pattern in advance and the difference (secondary information) between the expected signal reception pattern and the actual reception pattern. Means for outputting.

 [0040] The secondary information is, for example, a confirmation signal that the secret information sharer has grasped the output of the secret information 'confirmed content, one secret information sharer has grasped the output of the other secret information' content confirmation This is a reminder signal that encourages a person to share information, and an opinion signal when one secret information sharer agrees or disagrees with, or agrees to or disagrees with, the other secret information. (Description of basic hardware configuration based on description in Patent Document 8)

[0041] A special example is a case where the animal and the owner of the resident share a secret (not a person). There is In that case, the animal has a secret key for posture 'action. For example, an application example for opening and closing automatic doors for domestic cats will be described. Using the automatic door open / close signal as “secret information”, attach the object M to the collar of a domestic cat. The owner also has object M. These two postures' movements, that is, the owner's object M is turned upside down, etc., so that the automatic door can be opened and closed. A door open / close signal, which is a “secret key”, is sent to open / close an automatic door only when a key is detected.

 Examples of confidential information include genetic information common to family members. Genetic information, etc., for diseases that usually do not need to be recognized is suitable, and the family possesses the object M, and the action of the object M as its `` secret key '' is the disease specific action. . When a family member becomes ill in the house and a specific action is detected, the family's “secret information” is only available when another family member is in a situation where care is available in the house and the object M is possessed. For example, genetic information of a certain disease is output.
