Next, with reference to FIG. 25 (refer to FIG. 1 as needed), a screen will be described in which the supervisor terminal 2 is notified of the emergency when the monitor 10 generates an emergency. FIG. 25 is an emergency situation detection notification screen according to the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 25, the monitored person 10 is detected in the order of the monitoring device 7, the monitoring device 6, the monitoring device 4, and the monitoring device-3. Here, assuming that the monitored person 10 is monitored according to the case ID 1701 shown in FIG. 17, the monitoring device 4 has moved along the route set by the monitoring person 9. However, since the person to be monitored 10 which is to be detected next by the monitoring device 5 is detected at 16:03 by the monitoring device 3, it is set by the monitoring person 9 The monitoring device 3 detects an emergency situation, indicating a movement against the route which has been set.

When the monitoring device 3 detects an emergency, the monitoring device 3 notifies the supervisor terminal 2 of the occurrence of the emergency. The monitor 9 can confirm the emergency of the monitor 10 by the emergency detection notification screen 2500. If, for example, the supervisor 9 selects the surveillance device 7 displayed on the emergency detection notification screen 2500, a recorded video display confirmation window 2510 is displayed on the emergency detection notification screen 2500, and a recorded video display confirmation window 2510 If the display 2511 is selected, it may be possible to refer to the monitoring device recorded video 2520 stored in the monitoring device 7. In addition, when the supervisor 9 selects the cancel 2512, the recorded image display confirmation window 2510 may disappear from the emergency detection notification screen 2500.

In the present embodiment, as described above, in each monitoring device 6, information such as a device ID related to the monitored person portable terminal 8 carried by the monitored person 10, or video information of the monitored person 10, etc. Is preferably held for a predetermined time. When an emergency situation occurs in the monitored person 10, if information stored in each monitoring device 6 is searched from the management device 4 or the like using broadcast etc., the place where the monitored person 10 last appeared If it is possible to identify, etc., an effect will be obtained.

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the management device 4 transmits a policy corresponding to each monitoring device 6, and each monitoring device 6 receives the notification of the monitored person 10 based on the received policy. Although racking is to be performed, it is also possible to set a policy in each monitoring device 6 in advance, and to track a person to be monitored based on the policy that is set in advance. However, when there is a need to dynamically convert the policy of each monitoring device 6 due to the addition, change, or deletion of the monitoring device 6, the management device 4 can select the policy corresponding to each monitoring device 6, etc. It is more efficient and preferable to create and send.

Further, although FIG. 23 discloses a method for tracking the monitored person's portable terminal 8 owned by the monitored object by performing communication between the monitoring devices 6, each monitored device 6 When the passing time of the supervisor portable terminal 8 is determined, the monitoring devices 6 do not necessarily need to be notified.

Further, in the present embodiment, the policy stored in each monitoring device 6 is defined. Although it has been decided to execute processing to confirm that each monitoring device 6 detects a person to be monitored according to the time or speed, the conditions defined in the policy are not limited to the time or speed. For example, an optical sensor is attached to the monitoring device 6, the monitoring device 6 identifies whether it is night through the optical sensor, and the monitoring device 6 detects the monitored person 10 when the monitoring device 6 determines that it is night. Then, an alarm may be notified that an emergency has occurred. Also, the number of monitored persons 10 per unit time detected by the monitoring device 6, that is, the amount of people, is calculated, and when the number of people passing is small, when the monitoring device 6 detects the persons 10, the emergency An alarm may be notified that a situation has occurred. Furthermore, the monitoring device 6 reads personal information such as the gender of the monitored person 10 registered in the monitored person mobile terminal 8, and it is an emergency based on the personal information read by the monitoring device 6. You may decide to

Second Embodiment

A second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. At this time, the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment denote the same configuration as in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted. In the first embodiment, if the monitored person 10 takes an action that deviates from the schedule set by the monitoring person 9 as much as possible, an alarm will be notified to the monitoring person 9. For example, when the person to be monitored 10 is a child attending school or returning home, it can be easily predicted that the person to be monitored 10 acts beyond the range of the schedule (for example, Dogusa). There is a problem that the alerter's attention to the alarm of the monitor 9 is reduced if the monitor 9 receives the alarm frequently for such an action of the monitored person 10.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, an embodiment will be described in which the above-mentioned problem is solved by extending the policy received by each monitoring device 6 described in the first embodiment.

Next, with reference to FIG. 26 (refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 12, FIG. 15 and FIG. 17 as needed), the supervisor 9 uses the supervisor terminal 2 to detect conditions for detecting the monitored person 10 as an emergency. Explain the screen to enter from. FIG. 15 is a condition input window according to the second embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 26, condition 1550A of the condition input window 1585A according to the second embodiment is obtained by adding movement allowance 2610 other than the relay point to the condition 1550 shown in FIG. Is different from the first embodiment in that it becomes selectable. The movement recognition 2610 other than the relay point is an interface for the supervisor 9 to check when entering the schedule. As the surveillance person 9 checks the movement allowance 26 10 other than the relay point, the monitored person 10 is permitted the movement other than the relay point. In FIG. 26, it is described that "a movement other than the relay point is accepted".

The Acceptance Level 2620 is an interface for selecting by click etc. when entering the 10-force monitored person's schedule. This is a level of acceptance indicating to what extent the monitored person 10 accepts the activity area of the monitored person 10 when the monitored person 10 checks the movement recognition 2610 other than the relay point. , (Tolerance) is to be selected. Here, as shown in FIG. 15, the supervisor 9 defines the relay point by the schedule, the management device 4 selects the CP 1705 also for the relay point force, and the management device 4 is selected for the acceptance 2620. Although the distance (stage number) from each CP 1705 to the monitoring device 6 is described as an integer, the setting method of the tolerance 2620 is not limited to this method.

Here, the “distance from each CP 1705 selected by the management device 4 to the monitoring device 6” will be outlined with reference to FIG. In FIG. 17, each of the monitoring device 7, the monitoring device 6, the monitoring device 4, and the monitoring device 5 is selected as a target (CP 1705) to which the management device 4 also transmits the policy according to the schedule input by the supervisor 9. Showing how The monitoring device 6 is a monitoring device 6 whose distance (number of stages) from the monitoring device 6 is 1 is, for example, a monitoring device 7 to which the monitored person 10 can directly move from the monitoring device 6 to 6, the monitoring device 4 and the monitoring device 8 It is. Furthermore, in addition to the monitoring device 7, the monitoring device 4 and the monitoring device 8, the monitoring device 6, the monitoring device 3 and the monitoring device 1 have a distance (number of stages) from the monitoring device 6 of 2 or less. It is.

The policy for accepting the movement of the distance (stage number) is specified from the management device 4 to the monitoring device 7, the monitoring device 6, the monitoring device 4 and the monitoring device according to the designation of the movement acceptance 2610 other than the relay point. Sent to 5 In the following, only differences in processing from the first embodiment in each monitoring device will be described.

The management device 4 transmits the information of the monitoring device distance table 1200 (or the information of the portion related to each monitoring device 6 among the information of the monitoring device distance table 1200) to each monitoring device 6 in advance. If the monitored person 10 enters an area within the cell radius of the monitoring device 6, then The monitoring device 6 is the monitoring device 6 of its own neighborhood based on the monitoring device distance table 1200 and is not the target of receiving the policy, the monitoring device 6 (here, the monitoring device 8) or the policy based on the policy. A policy (hereinafter referred to as “request policy”) to temporarily monitor the monitored person portable terminal 8 of the monitored person 10 with respect to the monitoring device 6 (here, the monitoring device 7) which has completed the processing To deliver. When the monitoring device-8 or the monitoring device-7 receives the request policy, it enters into the temporary monitoring system of the person 10 to be monitored. The contents of the request policy 1 shall conform to the contents of the policy 2000 (see FIG. 20) received by the monitoring device, and the method of determining the contents shall also conform to the method described in the first embodiment. Let's say. Also, it is assumed that, for example, the monitoring device 6 of its own neighborhood here is the monitoring device 6 that is separated by 1 from the self (the number of stages).

For example, in the case where the monitored person 10 leaves the predetermined schedule force scheduled by the monitoring person 9 and enters the area within the cell radius of the monitoring device 6 to the monitoring device 8, monitoring is performed. The device 8 transmits a message notifying that the entry is detected to the monitoring device 6, and after that, it is determined whether the monitored person 10 belongs to the area within the cell radius of the monitoring device 8 for a predetermined time. Check every (for example, every minute). When the monitoring device 8 can not detect the person to be monitored 10, it sends a message to that effect to the monitoring device 6, and after a predetermined time has passed, temporarily terminates the monitoring system. On the other hand, after the monitoring device 6 receives a message notifying that it can not detect the entry from the monitoring device 8, the person 10 to be monitored 10 receives the cell of the monitoring device 6 even after a predetermined time has passed. If it does not reenter the radius, as described in FIG. 24, it is determined that the monitored person 10 is in an emergency situation, and an alarm is notified to the monitored person 9 via the management device 4.

In the present embodiment, it is a case where the monitored person 10 accepts movement of other than the relay point, and in particular, a process in the case where the distance (the number of stages) from the monitoring device 6 is within 1 The same process is performed when the distance (the number of stages) from the monitoring device 6 is 2 or more. That is, the monitoring device 6 issues a request policy to temporarily monitor the monitored person 10 to the monitoring device 8, and the received monitoring device 8 sends the monitoring device 9 belonging to one's own neighborhood to the monitoring device 9. Change the request policy to the appropriate content and forward it. When the monitored person 10 enters an area within the cell radius of the monitoring device-9 On the other hand, the monitoring device 9 transfers a message notifying that the entry of the monitored person 10 has been detected to the monitoring device 8 and temporarily terminates the monitoring system after a predetermined time has elapsed. The monitoring device 8 further transfers the message to the monitoring device 6.

The monitoring device 6 may transfer a request policy including the number of remaining permission levels. In this case, the monitoring device 6 receives a request policy including the number of remaining approval levels from the monitoring device 6 in the neighborhood, reduces the number of remaining permission stages in the received request policy by one, and transfers it to its own monitoring device 6 in its vicinity. Do. For example, if it is recognized that the distance (number of stages) from monitoring device 6 is 2 or less, monitoring device 6 transfers the request policy including the remaining number of acceptable steps 1 (= 2 to 1) to monitoring device 8 If the request policy including the remaining number of approval levels 1 is received, the monitoring device 8 transfers the request policy including the remaining number of approval steps 0 (= 1 to 1) to the monitoring device 9. The monitoring device 9 which has received the request policy including the remaining number of approval steps of 0 judges that no further acceptance will be made, and does not transfer the request policy.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the monitored person 10 deviates from the schedule input by the monitoring person 9, as described in the first embodiment (see FIG. 24), An alarm may be notified to the supervisor terminal 2. An alarm may be notified to other monitoring devices 6. Alternatively, an alarm may be notified to the mobile terminal 8 of the monitored person 10. Furthermore, the monitored person's mobile terminal 8 to which this alarm has been notified may notify the monitored person 10 of the notification of the alarm by sound or vibration, or the monitored person 10 may be dangerous. It is also possible to emit a buzzer sound via the speaker 508 (see FIG. 5), assuming that it is in the state.

With reference to FIG. 27, the process of the mobile terminal of a person to be monitored 8 when an alarm is notified from the monitoring device 6 will be described. FIG. 27 is a diagram showing an alarm reception screen according to the second embodiment.

As shown in Fig. 27, on the alarm reception screen 2700, “The route for returning home has been removed. Enter the 4-digit security code and return to the route for returning home. In 15 seconds, an alarm will be notified. Is displayed, prompting you to enter authentication information. In this case, when the person to be monitored 10 inputs a personal identification number from the personal identification number input field 2710 via the personal digital assistant terminal 8, the personal identification number is notified to the management device 4, and the management device 4 has the correct personal identification number. If it is judged, The management apparatus 4 can stand by for notifying the supervisor terminal 2 of the supervisor 9 of an alarm for a certain period (a time for the monitored person 10 to return to the return route). Here, the force authentication method showing the method for authenticating the monitored person 10 using a personal identification code is not limited to this. For example, the fingerprint of the monitored person 10, voice authentication, and the monitored object captured by a camera It is also possible to use authentication by the person 10's video. Also, by notifying the monitored person 10 of deviation and requesting return to the route according to the schedule, it is possible to prevent frequent occurrence of an alarm, and furthermore, the monitored person 10 is dangerous. If the mobile terminal 8 is in a state, or if the mobile terminal 8 to be monitored is taken away by a suspicious person, or if the mobile terminal 8 to be monitored is broken, etc., an alarm is monitored as in the first embodiment. It is regrettable that person 9 is notified.

As described above, in the present embodiment, even when the monitored person 10 performs an action that deviates from the schedule set by the monitoring person 9, the monitoring devices 6 autonomously cooperate with each other. By doing this, it is possible to flexibly monitor the subject 10 even if the pattern is not created by the supervisor 9.

Here, although the method of realizing a system in which the admissibility is considered by the notification of the policy between the monitoring devices 6 and the temporary monitoring system of the monitoring device 6 has been described, the management device 4 It is acceptable to use a method of transferring the policy to the monitoring device 6 in advance in consideration of the admissibility from the beginning.

Third Embodiment

The third embodiment will be described. At this time, the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment or the second embodiment denote the same configuration as in the first embodiment or the second embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted. In the first embodiment (see FIG. 16), by designating the area using the area 1623, the person to be monitored 10 to be monitored by the monitoring apparatus 6 is limited, but this area is very large. In this case, the number of monitoring devices 6 to which the management device 4 sends the policy becomes enormous. Also, even if the policy is not used very much, it resides in the monitoring device 6 and consumes the resources of the memory 405 and the CPU 404. Furthermore, even if the observer 9 omits the work of setting the route of the person to be monitored 10, if, for example, the monitoring device 6 falls into a situation where the person to be monitored 10 can not be monitored, That If you wish to be notified of the effect of In the present embodiment, a method for solving such a problem or problem will be described.

In the present embodiment, the supervisor 9 creates a necessary policy by the emergency detection condition input window 1600 (see FIG. 16) and the emergency detection action input screen 1400 (see FIG. 14). The processing is the same as in the first embodiment. The subsequent processing will be described below with reference to FIG. 28 (refer to FIG. 1 as needed).

FIG. 28 is a conceptual diagram of policy distribution by the monitoring device according to the third embodiment, where (a) is a conceptual diagram when the monitoring device distributes a policy, and (b) is a diagram showing reception of a policy. This is a conceptual diagram of the monitoring device when it further delivers the policy.

When the person to be monitored 10 turns on the power of the person portable terminal 8 to be monitored in the area within the cell radius of the monitoring device-6, or the power to the person portable terminal 8 to be monitored is turned on, the monitoring device When entering from the area outside the cell radius of 6 to the area within the cell radius, the monitoring device — 6 acquires the device ID of the mobile terminal 8 of the monitored person, and detection of the device ID at that time, If the monitoring device 6 is owned by the monitoring device 6 and does not conform to the conditions specified in the policy, the device ID is transferred to the management device 4 via the monitoring device side network 5.

The listener module 705 (see FIG. 7) of the management device 4 receives the device ID, transfers it to the tracking policy creation module 706, and the tracking policy creation module 706 receives the device ID and the emergency described above. Match the conditions of the policy created using the detection condition input window 1600. When it is determined that the detection of the device ID conforms to the condition defined in the policy, the management device 4 transfers the policy to the monitoring device 6.

The monitoring device 6 receiving the policy determines whether the monitored person portable terminal 8 of the monitored person 10 belongs to the area within the cell radius of the monitoring device 6 at predetermined time intervals (or Periodically) check. If the monitoring device 6 confirms that the monitored person portable terminal 8 of the monitored person 10 has left the area within the cell radius of the monitoring device 6, the monitored person portable terminal 8 of the monitored person 10 The monitoring time of the monitored person's mobile terminal 8 on the monitoring device 6 is attached to the policy for monitoring the Distribution to the monitoring device 6 (here, monitoring device 7, monitoring device 4 and monitoring device 8) whose distance (number of stages) from monitoring device 6 is 1 (see FIG. 28 (a). See). The monitoring policy may be distributed to the monitoring device 7, the monitoring device 4, and the monitoring device 8 immediately after the confirmation policy is transferred from the management device 4 to the monitoring device 6.

When the monitoring device 6 distributes the confirmation policy, the monitoring device 7, the monitoring device 4 or the monitoring device 8 transmits a notification that the mobile terminal 8 of the monitored person 10 is detected. It will be in the state of waiting for reception for the message to contact (hereinafter referred to as “contact message”) (see Figure 28 (a)). If the monitoring device 6 does not receive the message for communication even after a predetermined time has elapsed, it determines that the person 10 to be monitored has been lost, sends an alarm to the management device 4, and the management device 4 And forward the alarm to the supervisor terminal 2. The monitoring device 6 (in this case, monitoring device 7, monitoring device 4 or monitoring device 8) of the message source of the contact message, when the monitored person 10 enters the area within the cell radius of the contact message, The time is given and sent to the monitoring device 6 (in this case, the monitoring device 6) to which the contact message is sent. The monitoring device 6 to which the contact message is sent is the person to be monitored in the area within the cell radius of the monitoring device 6 of the transmission source of the contact message and the time when the monitored person 10 has left the area within the cell radius. The moving speed of the person to be monitored 10 is calculated using the time when 10 entered and the distance between the two monitoring devices 6, and the calculated speed and the speed specified in the emergency detection condition 1620 (see FIG. 16) , And sends an alarm to the management device 4 as necessary, and the management device 4 transfers the alarm to the supervisor terminal 2.

For example, the monitoring device 6 acquires the distance (600 meters) between the monitoring device 6 and the monitoring device 4 from the monitoring device distance table 1200, and the monitored person 10 is within the cell radius of the monitoring device 6. If the difference between the time of leaving the area and the time of entering the area within the cell radius of the monitoring device 4 is 120 seconds, the speed of the person to be monitored 10 is (600 meters 120 120 seconds =) seconds 5 Calculated as seconds (18 kilometers per hour), it is estimated that the monitored person 10 moves at a velocity exceeding the velocity (8 kilometers per hour) specified in the emergency detection condition 1620 (see Fig. 16). As a result, the monitoring device 6 sends an alarm to the management device 4. Also, the monitoring device 6 is within the cell radius of the monitoring device 6 with respect to the monitoring device 4. The monitoring device 4 may calculate the moving speed of the person 10 to be monitored by notifying the time, and the monitoring device 4 may transmit an alarm to the management device 4.

On the other hand, when the monitoring device 6 determines that there is no abnormality in the moving speed of the person to be monitored 10, the monitoring device 8 and the monitoring device 7 are requested to withdraw the confirmation policy. When the monitoring device 4 calculates the moving speed of the person 10 to be monitored, the monitoring device 4 determines that the moving speed of the person 10 to be monitored is normal. The monitoring device 6 is notified that the monitoring responsibility of the viewer 10 has been transferred to the monitoring device 4, and the monitoring device 6 requests the monitoring device 8 and the monitoring device 7 to withdraw the confirmation policy.

Since the monitoring device 4 has already received the content of the confirmation policy from the monitoring device 6, the monitoring device 4 does not perform the process of again making the above-mentioned inquiry made by the monitoring device 6 to the management device 4. Then, it is distributed to the monitoring device 6 (in this case, the monitoring device 3, the monitoring device 5 and the monitoring device 6) whose distance (stage number) from the monitoring device 4 is 1 (see FIG. 28 (b)).

By continuing such processing, it is not necessary to transfer the policy to a large amount of monitoring device 6 beforehand, and resources of memory 405 (see FIG. 4) of monitoring device 6 and CPU 404 (see FIG. 4) It is possible to reduce consumption. In addition, even if the supervisor 9 omits the work of creating a schedule for the monitor 10, it is possible to notify the monitor 9 of an alarm when an abnormal situation occurs in the monitor 10 It becomes.

Fourth Embodiment

A fourth embodiment will be described. In the first to third embodiments, the monitoring device side network 5 is a network used when information is transmitted and received between the management device 4 and the monitoring device 6. The type of network is not particularly limited if a network such as an internet network, a mobile phone network, a wireless network, or an ad hoc network is used as the monitoring device side network 5, but the monitoring device 6 is a monitoring device side network. It has been assumed that 5 is always connected.

However, it is often the place where one wants to monitor the person to be monitored 10 is a non-popular mountain forest where it is difficult to lay mobile phone network infrastructure etc. and a depopulated area such as the seaside. This embodiment See Figure 29 for the monitoring method based on the assumption that both the monitoring device 6 that can not be connected to the monitoring device network 5 and the monitoring device 6 that can be connected to the monitoring device network 5 are used. While explaining. At this time, the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment to the third embodiment denote the same configuration as in the first to third embodiments, and a description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 29 is a block diagram of a tracking system according to the fourth embodiment. As shown in FIG. 29, the tracking system 1A is configured to include a monitoring device 6a, a monitoring device 6b, and a monitoring device 6c. The monitoring device 6a and the monitoring device 6c are connected to the monitoring device side network 5. The power monitoring device 6b is not connected to the monitoring device side network 5 and is a single monitoring device. (Hereafter, referred to as "network non-connected monitoring device"). Here, when the management device 4 transmits a policy, it can not transmit the policy to the monitoring device 6b which is the network non-connection type monitoring device via the monitoring device side network 5. become. Further, in FIG. 29, the supervisor-side wireless network 7 is omitted.

The management device 4 holds in advance information that the monitoring device 6 b is not connected to the monitoring device side network 5, and the deployment module 704 of the management device 4 is on the monitoring device side. Instead of transmitting the policy to the monitoring device 6b not connected to the network 5, the monitoring device 6b connected to the monitoring device side network 5 and the tracking policy control module 809 of the monitoring device 6c are connected to the monitoring device 6b. Send a policy for the delivery (hereinafter referred to as the “delivered policy”). Further, the management device 4 may transmit the transported policy 13 only to the monitoring device 6c. Hereinafter, the case where the monitoring device 6a and the monitoring device 6c receive the transported policy 13 will be described. The monitoring device 6c that has received the transported policy 13 temporarily stores the policy in the hard disk 411 (see FIG. 4) or the memory 4 05 (see FIG. 4).

When the monitoring device 6 c finds the monitored person portable terminal 8 c belonging to the area within the cell radius, the monitoring device 6 c communicates with the communication management module 803 of the monitored person portable terminal 8 c via the communication management module 803 (see FIG. 8). The call management control module 904 (see FIG. 9) of the monitored person portable terminal 8b is transferred to the memory 505 (see FIG. 5) of the monitored person portable terminal 8c via (see FIG. 9). Ask if storage capacity remains to store the transport policy 13! If it is determined that it remains, the policy is transferred to the memory. Here, in the present embodiment, it is not mentioned whether the monitored person 10c discovered by the monitoring device 6c has the power to conform to the policy of the monitoring device 6c.

When the monitored person 10 c who is the owner of the monitored person portable terminal 8 c in which the transported policy 13 is stored enters the area within the cell radius of the monitoring device 6 b, the monitored person portable terminal 8 c Whether the call management control module 904 (see FIG. 9) communicates with the tracking policy control module 809 (see FIG. 8) of the monitoring device 6b, and whether or not the transported policy 13 has already been stored in the monitoring device 6b. Confirm. As a result of confirmation, if the to-be-carried policy 13 is not stored in the monitoring device 6b, the to-be-monitored person portable terminal 8c transfers the to-be-carried policy 13 to the monitoring device 6b, and the to-be-carried policy 13 is transmitted to the monitoring device 6b. If it has already been stored, the mobile terminal for monitored persons 8c deletes the transported policy 13 from its own memory.

Subsequently, when the portable terminal 8c of the monitored person storing the transported policy 13 in the monitoring device 6b enters the area within the cell radius of the monitoring device 6a, the transported policy 13 is stored in the monitoring device 6b. A message notifying that it has been sent is transferred to the tracking policy control module 809 (see Figure 8) of the monitoring device 6a. The monitoring device 6a transfers the message to the tracking policy creation module 706 (see FIG. 7) of the management device 4. A message to the effect that the policy is to be discarded is sent to the tracking policy control module 809 (see FIG. 8) of the monitoring device 6a, and the monitoring device 6a discards the policy according to the message.

Next, in the monitoring device 6b, which is a non-network type monitoring device, that the mobile terminal 8c of the person 10c to be monitored is detected is not detected via the monitoring device side network 5, but the management device 4 Explain how to notify

When the monitoring device 6 b detects the monitored person mobile terminal 8 b (the monitored person 10 b) corresponding to the transported policy 13, the monitoring module 808 (see FIG. 8) temporarily detects the detected information 14. Accumulate. Here, the detection information is, as described above, information related to the monitored person portable terminal 8b, and the information related to the monitored person portable terminal 8b includes information for identifying the monitored person portable terminal 8b. I assume. Furthermore, the monitoring device 6b is the portable end of the monitored person. If a monitored person 10a having a monitored person portable terminal 8a different from the end 8b is found, the monitoring module 808 (see FIG. 8) of the monitoring device 6b is the communication management module 903 of the monitored person portable terminal 8a. This information is stored in the memory 505 (see FIG. 5) of the monitored person portable terminal 8a with respect to the call management control module 904 (see FIG. 9) of the monitored person portable terminal 8a via (see FIG. 9). Ask if there is storage space left to store, and adjust. If it is found that it remains, the detection information 14 is transferred to the memory 505. When the portable terminal 8a of the monitored person storing the detection information 14 enters the area within the cell radius of the monitoring device 6a, the information is transferred to the monitoring module 808 (see FIG. 8) of the monitoring device 6a. Do. The monitoring device 6a can transfer the information to the management device 4 as needed.

In this embodiment, two monitoring devices (the monitoring device 6a and the monitoring device 6c) connected to the monitoring device side network 5 and a monitoring device not connected to the monitoring device side network 5 Although the case of 6b) has been described, the number is not limited as long as there is one or more monitoring devices. For example, one monitoring device may be connected to the monitoring device side network 5. In that case, the monitoring device connected to the monitoring device side network 5 may be configured to have the functions of the monitoring device 6a and the monitoring device 6c of the present embodiment. Further, although the case has been described above in the present embodiment, in the case where there are three monitored person portable terminals (the monitored person portable terminal 8a, the monitored person portable terminal 8b and the monitored person portable terminal 8c), If the number of mobile terminals is one or more, the number is not limited. For example, among the three mobile terminals to be monitored, there may be mobile terminals to be monitored having two or more functions.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is connected to the monitoring device side network 5! Even if the flooding monitoring device 6b exists, the monitoring device 6a, the monitoring device 6c, and the management of the policy, tracking information (detection information), etc. of the monitoring device 6b are used by using the mobile terminal 8 of the monitored person moving. It becomes possible to transfer to device 4 etc. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, for example, in the case where the monitored person 10b is missing in a non-popular mountain forest where there is difficulty in laying a mobile phone network infrastructure, etc., or in a depopulated area such as the seaside, the monitored person 10b It is possible to identify the point where was finally confirmed. Furthermore, the monitored person 1 When calculating the moving speed of Ob, it is also possible to use the policy of the monitoring device 6b not connected to the monitoring device side network 5, tracking information (detection information), and the like.

Fifth Embodiment

The fifth embodiment will be described. In the first to fourth embodiments, when the monitor-side wireless network 7 receives information from the monitor portable terminal 8 carried by the monitor 10, the monitor apparatus 6 carries out the process. It is a network to be used, and a mechanism is required for the monitoring device 6 to detect the presence of the mobile terminal 8 of the monitored person via the wireless network 7 on the supervisor side. However, there is a problem that the cost is high to implement the system in the mobile terminal 8 to be monitored.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, by using a mobile phone as the mobile terminal 8 to be monitored, addition of functions to the mobile terminal 8 to be monitored and modification of the mobile terminal 8 to be monitored can be performed at low cost. A method of tracking the monitored person 10 will be described with reference to FIG. In that case, about the same composition as a 1st embodiment thru / or a 4th embodiment, the same numerals as a 1st embodiment thru / or a 4th embodiment are attached in a figure, and explanation is omitted.

The configuration of the tracking system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 30 is a block diagram of a tracking system according to the fifth embodiment. As shown in FIG. 30, the tracking system 1B includes the monitor terminal 2, the monitor terminal network 3, the management device 4, the monitor network 5, the monitor 6, and the mobile phone 8A. Prepare. As the mobile phone 8A, it is possible to use a general mobile phone which does not require any special modification or change for this system. It is assumed that the monitored person 10 can make a telephone call etc. via the base station 15 and the mobile phone network 16 using the mobile phone 8A.

The base station 15 of the mobile phone 8A constantly transmits a signal indicating an area, and the mobile phone 8A constantly receives the signal. Therefore, when the mobile phone 8A is turned on, the mobile phone 8A is moved to a new area, etc., the mobile phone 8A issues a signal (location registration signal) to notify its own location information. The home memory station reports that it has entered the area, and the home memory station rewrites the name of the area to which the mobile phone belongs. That is, the mobile phone 8A automatically sends out a location registration signal when the power is turned on, or a transition to a new area is performed. By the way, a unique number called ESN (Electronic Serial Number) having a number space of 32 bits (manufacturer identification code 8 bits + serial number 24 bits) is assigned to each mobile phone 8A in advance. Note that this ESN is a unique number that is set by the manufacturer as well as the MAC address of Ethernet (registered trademark) described in the device ID 1314 (see FIG. 13). This ESN is given to identify the mobile phone 8A.

[0143] It should be noted that, as long as the signal representing the area where base station 15 is constantly emitting does not change, in principle mobile phone 8A itself does not issue a location registration signal (a relatively long time such as 30 minutes to 1 hour). Every time there is a case to issue confirmation). As means for forcibly generating such a position registration signal on the mobile phone 8A, a means for preventing the mobile phone 8A from reaching a signal representing the area where the base station 15 always emits can be considered. This method is described in, for example, monitoring equipment, “Cell Phone Frequency Jammer Plans J (http: ZZwww. Cs. Utah. Edu / ̃chrisb / writing / jammer / circuit% 20 drawings / celljam5. Pdf) It is possible that the mobile phone 8A itself may emit the location registration signal by providing such a circuit and transmitting a signal representing the area to the mobile phone 8A in units of fixed time. .

In the present embodiment, the monitoring device 6 intercepts the location registration signal to which the ESN is assigned from the mobile phone 8A to the base station 15 to confirm the location of the person to be monitored 10. The network interface card 407 (see FIG. 6) of the monitoring device 6 of the present embodiment communicates with the network interface card control driver 801 (see FIG. 8) when the location registration signal is received. The management module 803 (see FIG. 8) reads the ESN number of the location registration signal issued by the mobile phone 8A. This ESN number is treated in the same manner as the device ID 1314 (see FIG. 13) described in the first embodiment. As a result, the monitoring device 6 can identify the monitored person 10 using the ESN number assigned to the position registration signal issued by the mobile phone 8A owned by the monitored person 10.

Base station 15 and mobile phone network 16 in the present embodiment have a configuration in which they are replaced with a radio access point and an IP network, a PHS base station and a PHS network, respectively. It may be connected. Furthermore, as for the base station 15, the configuration may be replaced with a Bluetoot M (registered trademark) access point, a low power radio, another wireless system, or the like.

Sixth Embodiment

A sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. At this time, the same reference numerals as in the first to fifth embodiments are given to the same configurations as in the first to fifth embodiments, and the description will be omitted. FIG. 31 is a block diagram of a tracking system according to a sixth embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 31, the monitoring device 6C in the tracking system 1C is connected to the rotating light 61 or the speaker 62. When the monitoring device 6C detects the mobile terminal 8 to be monitored, the monitoring device 6C can perform processing of lighting the rotary light 61 or processing of emitting a voice message through the speaker 62. The monitoring device 6C can be safely watched against the monitored person 10 by the tracking system 1C of the present embodiment by the lighting of the rotary light 61 or the voice message etc. emitted from the speaker 62. Can give a feeling. In addition, if there is no lighting of the rotating light 61 of the monitoring device 6C and a voice message etc. emitted from the speaker 62, it may be determined that an emergency situation has occurred in the monitored person 10 near the monitoring device 6C. it can. The detection and notification means described in the claims corresponds to the rotating light or the speaker in the present embodiment.

The process of presenting such watching over of the person to be monitored 10 is not limited to the form executed by the monitoring device 6 that has detected the person to be monitored 10, but has detected a position registration signal to the base station 15. The form which the monitoring apparatus 6 performs, and the form which the monitoring apparatus 6 which received the instruction | indication of the management apparatus 4 may perform may be sufficient. Furthermore, as described in the first embodiment (see FIG. 23), the monitoring device 6 scheduled to pass by the monitored person 10 is to be executed when the information of the monitored person mobile terminal 8 is received. May be
