Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a security system including a security device that monitors the security situation of a facility to be guarded, and a method for controlling the security system. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a security system is composed of a security device that monitors the security status of a security target facility and other devices. The security device starts monitoring the security target facility or stops monitoring the security target facility by setting the security start and security stop of the security target facility.

[0003] In many cases, the security device will be armed or disarmed by a specific person or a person who has been granted specific security authority. However, for example, in a situation where a specific person should have set the security device to arm, they may forget to do so, and the security device may not start monitoring the security situation. This is also true in the case of disarming the security device.

[0004] As a method for preventing such mistakes in starting and canceling the security of security-related equipment, a mechanical security system as shown in Patent Document 1 has been proposed. The mechanical security system of Patent Document 1 prevents entry into a security area from an opening / closing section without canceling the security provided by the security equipment. The mechanical security system of Patent Document 1 is equipped with a lock at the opening / closing section for entering and exiting the security area, and a security operation terminal outside the security area that switches the security state of the security equipment of the security area to security-off or security-on, and is equipped with an insertion prevention means that prevents the insertion of a key into the keyhole of the lock, and is provided with a keyhole operation control device that disables the insertion prevention means while security is off by the security operation terminal, allowing the insertion of a key into the keyhole, and enables the insertion prevention means while security is on, preventing the insertion of a key into the keyhole.

[Diagram 5] FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing a second operation of the security system. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0026] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration and operation of a first embodiment of a security system according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the operation of the first embodiment of the security system in a network. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the operation of the first embodiment of the security system. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration and operation of a second embodiment of a security system according to the present invention. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a second operation of the security system.

[0027] The security systems 1, 2 shown in the figures are comprised of security devices 10, 50 that monitor the security situation of the security target facilities 4, 6. The security devices 10, 50 are so-called mechanical security devices that use sensors and the like installed in the security target facilities 4, 6 to detect intrusions of suspicious individuals into the security target facilities 4, 6 and abnormalities such as fires and gas leaks. The security target facilities 4, 6 include a variety of facilities such as business buildings, factories, stores, apartment buildings, and detached houses, and also include not only buildings but also land (sites).

[0028] The security devices 10, 50 are not always in a state of alert to detect abnormalities, but are switched between alert and deactivation by a designated person. However, the alert and deactivation settings of the security devices 10, 50 are not necessarily performed only by designated people, and can also be performed automatically by devices related to the security systems 1, 2 under designated conditions, and there are no restrictions on who (what) and how the alert and deactivation settings of the security devices 10, 50 are performed.

[0029] However, when no one permitted to be in the security facility 4,6 is left in the security facility 4,6, it is necessary to set the security of the security facility 4,6 to start, and when a person permitted to enter the security facility 4,6 enters or attempts to enter the security facility 4,6 in the security state, it is necessary to set the security of the security facility 4,6 to be released. Here, a person who is the origin of the start or release of security by the security device 10,50 is called a person 100 who is the subject of a security state change. Note that the number of people 100 who are the subject of a security state change related to one security facility 4,6 is not limited to one. In the following explanation, a case where there is one person 100 who is the subject of a security state change will be explained, but a case where there are multiple people will also be explained as necessary.

[0030] Furthermore, the security systems 1, 2 are composed, at a minimum, of security devices 10, 50 that monitor the security status of the facilities 4, 6 to be guarded, and sensors that detect and notify the security devices 10, 50 of abnormalities, to which the various equipment elements described below will be added.

[0031] The security systems 1, 2 of the present application are provided with an alert state change target movement status grasping means for grasping movement information of the alert state change target 100, which is the source of alert start or alert release by the security devices 10, 50, and a setting prompting means for starting alert or releasing the alert in the security devices 10, 50, or for urging a specified person to do so, based on the movement information of the alert state change target 100. The security systems 1, 2 have the function of starting alert or releasing the alert in the security devices 10, 50, or for urging a specified person to do so, depending on the movement status of the alert state change target 100.

[0032] The alert status change target moving state grasping means and the setting prompting means are composed of electronic hardware or software, and various realization means are assumed, but will be specifically described in Examples 1 and 2. The alert status change target moving state grasping means and the setting prompting means are realized by any one or a combination of the minimum device elements constituting the security system 1, 2 and device elements added thereto, and there is no limitation as to which device components the alert status change target moving state grasping means and the setting prompting means are realized by. The device components include the security devices 10, 50, as well as the telecommunication line 8, the server 20, the device on the security company 30 side (e.g., a center device, etc.), the mobile information terminals 100a, 110a, 120a, the information storage means 100b, the camera 40, the sensor 42, etc., which will be described later.

[0033] The alert state change target moving state grasping means is for grasping the moving information of the alert state change target 100, which is the origin of the alert start or alert release by the security device 10, 50, and specifically, it can be realized by the security device 10, 50 itself, the camera 40, the sensor 42, the reading means 60, and the information storage means 100b described later. In the case of the information storage means 100b, the alert state change target 100 has the information storage means 100b, so that the moving information of the alert state change target 100 can be grasped. In addition, in the first and second embodiments, as described later, the security device 10, 50 itself has a part of the function as the alert state change target moving state grasping means, but it is also possible to make a device other than the security device 10, 50 function as the alert state change target moving state grasping means. The means for grasping the movement status of a person 100 for whom an alert status change is to be made grasps movement information, specifically, when the person 100 for whom an alert status change is to be made has left the facility 4,6 to be guarded, is about to leave the facility 4,6 to be guarded, has entered the facility 4,6 to be guarded, or is about to enter the facility 4,6 to be guarded.

[0034] In addition, the setting prompting means starts the alert setting or cancels the alert setting in the security device 10, 50, or prompts a specific person to do so, based on the movement information of the alert status change target 100 grasped by the alert status change target movement status grasping means, and specifically, this can be realized by the security device 10, 50 itself or by a mobile information terminal 100a, 110a, 120a such as a smartphone, mobile phone or tablet terminal.

[0035] In addition, when the setting prompting means is realized by the security device 10, 50, the security device 10, 50 itself may internally perform the alert start setting or alert cancellation setting. However, in cases where the security device 10, 50 serves as the setting prompting means, and the security device 10, 50 does not itself perform the alert start setting or alert cancellation setting, or prompts the alert start setting or alert cancellation setting, it issues an instruction to another device connected via the telecommunication line 8, for example, to start alert setting or alert cancellation setting or to prompt a specified person, and the device that receives the instruction starts alert setting or alert cancellation setting in the security device 10, 50, or prompts a specified person.

[0036] Various devices are assumed to be used for instructing the security device 10, 50 to start or cancel the alert or to prompt a specific person to do so, and these devices also function as part of the function of the setting prompting means. An example of this device is the mobile information terminal 100a carried by the person 100 who is the target of changing the alert state. When the mobile information terminal 100a starts or cancels the alert in the security device 10, 50, this does not only mean that the mobile information terminal 100a starts or cancels the alert in the security device 10, 50 directly via the telecommunication line 8, but also means that the mobile information terminal 100a issues an instruction to the server 20 or the security company 30 to start or cancel the alert in the security device 10, 50.

[0037] The device that receives instructions from the security devices 10, 50 to start or cancel the alert setting, or to prompt a specific person, is not limited to the mobile information terminal 100a possessed by the person 100 whose alert status is to be changed, but may be other mobile information terminals 110a, 120a, etc. that can be handled or possessed by other persons, or may be equipment on the server 20 or security company 30 side, and is not limited by the device.

[0038] Incidentally, the setting prompting means prompts the specified person to start the alert setting or cancel the alert setting, and it is not necessary for the prompted specified person to actually start the alert setting or cancel the alert setting. Here, the specified person to be prompted may be the alert status change target 100, or may be another person other than the alert status change target 100 who is a target of alert status change, such as a related person of the security company 30, or a family member of the alert status change target 100 who is in a remote location, and is not limited to a predetermined person.

[0039] One specific embodiment of the alert status change target movement status grasping means is a physical detection means that grasps movement information by detecting physical movements accompanying the movement of alert status change target 100. Specifically, the physical detection means is a camera 40 or a sensor 42, and this physical detection means grasps movement information such as when alert status change target 100 has left the guarded facility 4,6, is about to leave the guarded facility 4,6, has entered the guarded facility 4,6, or is about to enter the guarded facility 4,6.

[0040] Another specific embodiment of the alert state change target moving state grasping means is composed of information storage means 100b that stores specific information, and reading means 60 that can read the specific information in the information storage means 100b without contact. When the reading means 60 reads the specific information from the information storage means 100b carried by the alert state change target 100, it grasps moving information such as when the alert state change target 100 has left the security target facility 4, 6, is about to leave the security target facility 4, 6, has entered the security target facility 4, 6, or is about to enter the security target facility 4, 6. The specific information in the information storage means 100b can also be identification information that can identify each alert state change target 100.

[0041] In addition to the above-mentioned configuration, the setting prompting means may be configured to start or cancel the alert setting in the security device 10, 50, or to prompt a specified person to do so, based on the movement information of the person 100 who is the subject of a change to the alert status, as well as date and time information.

[0042] As described above, the operation, i.e., control method, of the security systems 1, 2 of the present invention involves grasping the movement information of the person 100 who is the target of an alert state change, who is the source of the start or end of alert by the security devices 10, 50, and, based on the movement information of the person 100 who is the target of an alert state change, starting the alert setting or canceling the alert setting in the security devices 10, 50, or urging a specified person to do so.

[0043] According to the security systems 1 and 2 of the present application having the above-mentioned configuration and operation, it is possible to prevent forgetting to set the alarm start or alarm release. EXAMPLES

[0044] Next, a more specific embodiment of the security system 1 will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 3. In the description of this embodiment 1, the case where there is one person 100 who is the subject of an alert state change will be described. In the security system 1 of embodiment 1, in addition to the security device 10 provided in the above-mentioned security target facility 4, as shown in Fig. 1, the security device 10 is equipped with a camera 40 and a sensor 42. The camera 40 and the sensor 42 constitute an alert state change subject movement state grasping means for grasping movement information of the person 100 who is the subject of an alert state change.

[0045] The camera 40 and the sensor 42 are physical detection means for detecting physical movements accompanying the movement of the alert status change target 100 and grasping movement information. Note that the camera 40 and the sensor 42, which are alert status change target movement status grasping means, may be either one of them, but a combination of different types may be used, and the number and combination are optional. Also, as long as it is possible to detect physical movements accompanying the movement of the alert status change target 100 and grasp movement information, the means is not limited to the camera 40 and the sensor 42.

[0046] In the case of the camera 40, the alert state change target 100 is photographed, and movement information of the alert state change target 100 is grasped. The movement information to be grasped is movement information capturing the alert state change target 100 going in and out of the guarded facility 4. In the case of the sensor 42, the sensor 42 is provided, for example, at the entrance of the guarded facility 4, and the sensor 42 detects the alert state change target 100, thereby grasping movement information capturing the alert state change target 100 going in and out of the guarded facility 4. Note that the position of the physical detection means, which is the alert state change target movement state grasping means, may be provided in any place where movement information capturing the alert state change target 100 going in and out of the guarded facility 4 can be grasped.

[0047] When the security device 10 needs to be set to on alert and movement information is received such as the person 100 for whom the alert state change is to be changed leaving the guarded facility 4, as shown in Figure 1, or when the security device 10 needs to be set to off alert and movement information is received such as the person 100 for whom the alert state change is to be changed entering the guarded facility 4, as shown in Figure 3, the setting prompting means will set the security device 10 to on alert or off alert, or will prompt a specified person to do so, depending on the movement situation of the person 100 for whom the alert state change is to be changed.

[0048] In the configuration of the security system 1 in Figures 1 and 3, the simplest operation is for the security device 10, as the setting prompting means, to perform the start setting of alerting or the cancellation setting of alerting in the security device 10. The cases in which the security device 10, as the setting prompting means, does not perform the start setting of alerting or the cancellation setting of alerting in the security device 10, are as described above.

[0049] In the above-mentioned first embodiment, the behavior of one person 100 who is the subject of an alert state change causes the security device 10 to start alerting or to cancel alerting, or to prompt a specified person to do so; however, this is not limited to one person. For example, multiple people may be set as subjects of an alert state change, and the security device 10 may start alerting or to cancel alerting, or a specified person may be prompted to do so, based on the movement information of each of these multiple subjects of an alert state change.

[0050] Furthermore, in Example 1, the security device 10 is responsible for part of the functions of the means for grasping the movement state of a person who is the subject of an alert state change and the setting prompting means, but it is also possible to connect a camera 40 or a sensor 42 to another device and have it assume the functions of the means for grasping the movement state of a person who is the subject of an alert state change and the setting prompting means.

[0051] Furthermore, security device 10 has traditionally been provided with a function for storing the scheduled time for starting daily alerts in advance, and it is also possible to combine this function with the function of the present invention for preventing forgetting to set the alert start time.

[0052] Specifically, the scheduled time for the start of alert is recorded in the security device 10, and if the setting to start alert has not been made when the scheduled time arrives, the setting reminder means determines whether or not the person 100 for whom the alert status change is to be made is within the guarded facility 4 based on the movement information, and if the person 100 for whom the alert status change is to be made is within the guarded facility 4, a notification is sent to the mobile information terminal 100a of the person 100 for whom the alert status change is to be made who is within the guarded facility 4 informing them that it is the scheduled time.

[0053] Furthermore, one way to prevent forgetting to disable the alarm is to use an entrance timer.

[0054] Specifically, when the security device 10 is on alert and a person enters the secured facility 4 through a designated entrance, the security device 10 activates an entry timer which gives a designated grace period for sounding an alarm for unauthorized intrusion into the secured facility 4, and the setting prompting means determines whether or not the person 100 for whom the alert state is to be changed is within the secured facility 4 based on the movement information, and if the person 100 for whom the alert state is to be changed is within the secured facility 4, a notification is sent to the mobile information terminal 100a of the person 100 for whom the alert state is to be changed who is within the secured facility 4, prompting them to cancel the alert setting within the grace period.

[0055] If the person who has entered the guarded facility 4 is an alert status change target 100, a notification is sent to the mobile information terminal 100a carried by the alert status change target 100, urging the target 100 to cancel the alert status within the grace period, and the target 100 who has received the notification will cancel the alert status. This makes it possible to prevent false alarms due to forgetting to cancel the alert status.

[0056] If the person who enters the guarded facility 4 is not a person 100 who is a target for changing the alert status, no notification is given urging the person to cancel the alert setting within the grace period, and when the entry timer is up, a report is issued as part of the alert function, stating that there has been an unauthorized intrusion into the guarded facility 4.

[0057] Furthermore, the setting reminder means may be configured to start or cancel the alert setting in the security device 10, or to urge a specified person to do so, based on date and time information in addition to movement information of the alert status change target person 100. Specifically, for example, if the security target facility 4 is a store, the setting reminder means may not function during store opening hours, or may function based on date and time information, such as functioning only on days of the week that are holidays for the store. EXAMPLES

[0058] Next, another more specific embodiment of the security system 2 will be described with reference to Figures 4 and 5. In the description of this embodiment 2, the case where there is one person 100 who is the target of an alert state change will be described. In the security system 2 of embodiment 2, in addition to the security device 50 provided in the above-mentioned guarded facility 6, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the security device 50 is equipped with a reading means 60. This reading means 60 constitutes an alert state change target person movement state grasping means for grasping movement information of the person 100 who is the target of an alert state change.

[0059] The reading means 60 is for contactlessly reading specific information stored in information storage means 100b possessed by the alert state change target person 100 described below, and when the specific information is read, grasps movement information of the alert state change target person 100. Note that while only one set of the reading means 60, which is the alert state change target person movement state grasping means, and the information storage means 100b described below are shown in the figure, it is possible for one alert state change target person 100 to possess multiple types of information storage means and use different types of reading means, and the number and combination thereof are arbitrary.

[0060] The information storage means 100b is an electronic medium that stores specific information, and has a structure that allows the specific information to be read by the reading means 60 without contact. Specifically, the information storage means 100b is a medium capable of short-distance wireless communication, such as an RFID tag. The information storage means 100b may be a portable information terminal having a function of short-distance wireless communication, such as an RFID tag. The information storage means 100b shown in Figs. 4 and 5 of the second embodiment is depicted as a button-shaped RFID tag that is easy for the alert state change target person 100 to carry, but may also be in a card-shaped form such as an employee ID card.

[0061] The reading means 60 is provided, for example, at the entrance / exit of the guard facility 6, and the reading means 60 reads specific information from the information storage means 100b possessed by the person 100 who is the target of a security status change, thereby obtaining movement information that the person 100 who is the target of a security status change has left and entered the guard facility 6. The position at which the reading means 60 is provided may be any place where movement information of the person 100 who is the target of a security status change leaving and entering the guard facility 6 can be obtained.

[0062] When the security device 10 needs to be set to on alert and movement information is received such as the person 100 for whom the alert state change is to be changed leaving the guarded facility 6, as shown in Figure 4, or when the security device 10 needs to be set to off alert and movement information is received such as the person 100 for whom the alert state change is to be changed entering the guarded facility 6, as shown in Figure 5, the setting prompting means will set the security device 10 to on alert or off alert, or will prompt a specified person to do so, depending on the movement situation of the person 100 for whom the alert state change is to be changed.

[0063] In the configuration of the security system 2 in Figures 4 and 5, the simplest operation is for the security device 50, as the setting prompting means, to perform the start setting of security or the cancellation setting of security in the security device 50. The case where the security device 50, as the setting prompting means, does not perform the start setting of security or the cancellation setting of security in the security device 50, is as described above.

[0064] In the above-mentioned first embodiment, the behavior of one person 100 who is the subject of an alert state change causes the security device 50 to start alerting or to cancel alerting, or to prompt a specified person to do so; however, this is not limited to one person. For example, multiple people may be set as subjects of an alert state change, and the security device 50 may start alerting or to cancel alerting, or a specified person may be prompted to do so, based on the movement information of each of these multiple subjects of an alert state change.

[0065] Furthermore, in the security system 2 of the second embodiment, the specific information stored in the information storage means 100b is used as identification information. This identification information may be a unique ID of the alert status change target 100, and only when the reading means 60 reads the previously stored identification information, it can be handled as movement information of the alert status change target 100 that requires a response.

[0066] Furthermore, the security device 50 has traditionally been provided with a function for storing the scheduled time for starting daily alerts in advance, and it is also possible to combine this function with the function of the present invention for preventing forgetting to set the start of alerts.

[0067] Specifically, the scheduled time for the start of alert is recorded in the security device 50, and if the setting to start alert has not been made when the scheduled time arrives, the setting reminder means determines whether or not the person 100 for whom the alert status change is to be made is within the guarded facility 6 based on the movement information, and if the person 100 for whom the alert status change is to be made is within the guarded facility 6, a notification is sent to the mobile information terminal 100a of the person 100 for whom the alert status change is to be made who is within the guarded facility 6 informing them that it is the scheduled time.

[0068] Furthermore, one way to prevent forgetting to disable the alarm is to use an entrance timer.

[0069] Specifically, when the security device 50 is on alert and a person enters the secured facility 6 through a designated entrance, the security device 50 activates an entry timer which gives a designated grace period for sounding an alarm for unauthorized intrusion into the secured facility 6, and the setting prompting means determines whether or not the person 100 for whom the alert state is to be changed is within the secured facility 6 based on the movement information, and if the person 100 for whom the alert state is to be changed is within the secured facility 6, a notification is sent to the mobile information terminal 100a of the person 100 for whom the alert state is to be changed who is within the secured facility 6, prompting them to cancel the alert setting within the grace period.

[0070] If the person who has entered the guarded facility 6 is an alert status change target 100, a notification is sent to the mobile information terminal 100a carried by the alert status change target 100, urging the target 100 to cancel the alert status within the grace period, and the target 100 who has received the notification will cancel the alert status. This makes it possible to prevent false alarms due to forgetting to cancel the alert status.

[0071] If the person who enters the guarded facility 6 is not a person 100 who is a target for changing the alert status, no notification is given urging the person to cancel the alert setting within the grace period, and when the entry timer is up, a report is issued as part of the alert function, indicating that there has been an unauthorized intrusion into the guarded facility 6.

[0072] Furthermore, the setting reminder means may be configured to start or cancel the alert setting in the security device 50, or to prompt a specified person to do so, based on date and time information in addition to the movement information of the alert status change target person 100. Specifically, for example, if the security target facility 6 is a store, the setting reminder means may not function during store opening hours, or may function based on date and time information, such as functioning only on days of the week that are holidays for the store.

[0073] The present invention allows various embodiments and modifications without departing from the broad spirit and scope of the present invention. The above-described embodiments are for the purpose of explaining the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. That is, the scope of the present invention is indicated by the claims, not the embodiments. Various modifications made within the scope of the claims and within the scope of the meaning of the invention equivalent thereto are considered to be within the scope of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]

[0074] As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a security system and a method for controlling a security system that can prevent forgetting to set alarm start or alarm release. [Explanation of symbols]
