Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an abnormality notification system that monitors abnormalities by connecting terminals such as fire detectors and smoke control devices to a receiver. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, in an abnormality alarm system, for example a fire alarm system known as R type (Record-type), a detection terminal such as a fire detector having a transmission function and a unique address (identification information) set therein is connected to a signal line drawn from a receiver, and when a fire is detected, for example based on a fire interrupt signal from the fire detector, a search command is issued from the receiver to identify the address of the fire detector that triggered the alarm, the receiver turns on a fire representative light and outputs a main sound alarm, and further a fire alarm screen is displayed on a display provided on the receiver, showing a fire occurrence message, the location of the fire, the time of the fire occurrence, receiver operation guidance, etc.

[0003] In addition, in the case of R-type fire alarm equipment, receiver information including information about the detection terminal is required to control fire monitoring using the receiver, and information about the detection terminal such as the panel, system, address, type, line, area, area name, and linkage destination is prepared for each detection terminal at the manufacturing stage. For example, a USB memory stick containing information about the detection terminal is inserted into the receiver, and the receiver reads out the information about the detection terminal, thereby obtaining the receiver information necessary for fire monitoring.

[0004] In addition, the receiver information stored in the receiver can be changed on the receiver itself. When changing the information, the receiver is changed from normal monitoring mode to maintenance mode for maintenance and inspection, and the information requiring the change is read out from the receiver information and shown on the display, allowing the information to be changed by performing the specified operations. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2007-265353 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2007-219870 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] In conventional fire alarm systems, when a fire is confirmed by the receiver, it is necessary to communicate the location of the fire accurately and clearly. However, when the construction of the fire alarm system is completed and handed over to the user, the names of the tenants and rooms in the building or facility in which the fire alarm system is installed are often not yet determined, and the district name stored in the receiver information indicating the location of the fire is often set as a construction identification division such as a district number. Therefore, even if the district name is displayed as the location of the fire, it may be difficult to communicate the location of the fire.

[0007] For this reason, it is conceivable that, during operation after delivery, once the tenant name and room name have been finalized, the receiver can be switched from normal monitoring mode to maintenance mode and the district name changed to the finalized tenant name, etc.; however, changing the district name by switching to maintenance mode requires work by the manufacturer or maintenance company, etc., and is avoided as it is costly and time-consuming each time the district name is changed.

[0008] In addition, there are fire alarm systems that allow users to change the receiver information themselves, but when additional work or repairs are carried out, backup information of the receiver information managed by the manufacturer or maintenance company is applied to the receiver, and there is a risk that the district name changed by the user will be overwritten by the backup information, reverting to the original district number, etc., or that information other than the district name will be mistakenly changed. This requires the management of the history of district name changes, updating the backup information, and dealing with erroneous changes, making operation difficult and time-consuming.

[0009] The present invention aims to provide an abnormality notification equipment that improves convenience by allowing users to flexibly change area information without compromising the area information set by the manufacturer or maintenance company. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] (Abnormality alarm equipment) The present invention is an anomaly notification system that connects a predetermined detection terminal to a receiver to monitor a predetermined anomaly in a monitoring area, and notifies the location of the anomaly based on identification information of the detection terminal that detected the anomaly or the line to which the detection terminal is connected when the anomaly occurs, To a specified higher-level device, A district name indicating a predetermined area within a monitoring area corresponding to either the detection terminal or the identification information set for each line to which the detection terminal is connected and which can be changed under a predetermined condition is stored; The system is characterized in that it is possible to freely store an alias name of a district which corresponds to any one of the district names and enables a predetermined area indicated by the corresponding district name to be indicated by a name different from the district name.

[0011] (Configuration of host device) The higher-level device is a district alias change unit for performing processing for changing the district alias; a control unit that displays at least one of a district name or an alias of a district as a location where an abnormality has occurred when an abnormality has occurred; Equipped with.

[0012] (Input / output processing of district alias change information) The district name change department is To change the district name, an output process for generating and outputting district alias change information including variable information including a district alias and changeable by an external device, and fixed information including at least a district name corresponding to the district alias included in the variable information and identification information corresponding to the district name and not changeable by the external device; an input process for changing the district alias stored in the upper device when district alias change information in which the district alias has been changed is input; Do the following.

[0013] (Refine district alias change information) The district alias change unit generates district alias change information by narrowing down district names and identification information corresponding to district aliases included in the district alias change information using a predetermined narrowing down condition.

[0014] (Display alternate district names) The control unit If the location where the abnormality occurred is a location where an alias for the area is stored corresponding to the area name, the alias for the area is displayed as the location where the abnormality occurred; If the location where the abnormality occurred is a location where no alternate name for the area name is stored, the area name is displayed as the location where the abnormality occurred.

[0015] (Changes to district names and alternate names) The district name can be changed when the host device is in maintenance mode, but cannot be changed when the host device is in normal monitoring mode. The district alias can be changed even when the host device is in the normal monitoring mode.

[0016] (Host device) The higher-level equipment includes a receiver, a general operation panel for monitoring and operating the disaster prevention equipment, a general display panel for displaying information about the disaster prevention equipment, and a management device on which a disaster prevention management system for managing the disaster prevention equipment on the cloud is built. Effect of the Invention

[0017] (Effect of abnormality alarm equipment) The present invention is an anomaly notification equipment that monitors a specified anomaly in a monitoring area by connecting a specified detection terminal to a receiver, and notifies the location of the anomaly based on the identification information of the detection terminal that detected the anomaly or the line to which the detection terminal is connected when the anomaly occurs, and stores a district name that indicates a specified area in the monitoring area corresponding to either the detection terminal or the identification information set for each line to which the detection terminal is connected in a specified upper device (receiver, general operation panel, general display panel, management device, etc.), and can store a district alias that corresponds to any of the district names and indicates the specified area indicated by the corresponding district name in an expression different from the district name, so that it is possible to use a district alias that can be freely set by the user in addition to the district name as information indicating the location of the anomaly. For example, when a specific tenant name or office name has not been decided, the manufacturer or maintenance company side sets a district number or the like as the district name, and when a specific tenant name or office name has been decided, the user side can add the specific tenant name or office name to the district alias, and the district alias set by the user side can be used to notify the location of the anomaly, making it possible to accurately and easily convey the location of the anomaly.

[0018] In addition, since the district alias can be freely changed and stored, the user can easily change the district alias in accordance with changes in tenants, offices, etc.

[0019] In addition, since the district names are stored, even if there is a district name for which an alias is not stored, the location where the abnormality has occurred can be notified by using the district name.

[0020] In addition, the district name set by the manufacturer or maintenance company and the district alias set by the user are independent, so changing either the district name or the district alias will not affect the other.

[0021] (Effect of input / output processing of district alias change information) In addition, the district alias change unit performs the following processes for changing the district alias: an output process for generating and outputting district alias change information including variable information that includes the district alias and can be changed by an external device, and fixed information that includes at least the district name corresponding to the district alias included in the variable information and identification information corresponding to the district name and cannot be changed by an external device; and an input process for changing the district alias stored in the higher-level device when the district alias change information with the changed district alias is input.This makes it possible to change the district alias using any external device, thereby improving the freedom and convenience of the district alias change work.

[0022] In addition, the district alias is included in changeable variable information and is necessary information when changing the district alias, but information such as the district name and identification information that should not be changed is included in unchangeable fixed information, thereby making it possible to prevent a situation in which a worker performing the change work inadvertently changes the district name, identification information, etc.

[0023] (Effect of filtering area alias change information) In addition, the district alias change unit generates district alias change information by narrowing down the district names and identification information corresponding to the district aliases included in the district alias change information using specified narrowing down conditions.For example, the narrowing down conditions include conditions based on areas within the monitored area and conditions based on identification information, so that district alias change information can be generated by narrowing down to the district alias to be changed, improving the workability of the district alias change work and making it possible to avoid erroneously changing district aliases that are not intended to be changed.

[0024] (Effect of displaying district names) The control unit displays the alias name of the district as the location of the abnormality when the location of the abnormality is a location where an alias name is stored corresponding to the district name, and displays the district name as the location of the abnormality when the location of the abnormality is a location where an alias name is not stored corresponding to the district name, so that the alias name of the district that can be arbitrarily set by the user is preferentially displayed, enabling the user to accurately and easily specify the location of the abnormality.

[0025] (Effects of changes to district names and alternate district names) Furthermore, the district name can be changed when the upper device is in maintenance mode but cannot be changed when the upper device is in normal monitoring mode, and the district alias can be changed even when the upper device is in normal monitoring mode. This makes it possible to change the district name in maintenance mode where work is performed by the manufacturer or a maintenance company, but not in normal monitoring mode where it may be operated by the user, thereby making it possible to avoid a situation in which the district name is changed inadvertently.

[0027] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of an abnormality alarm system according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment.

[0028] [Basic Concept of the Embodiment] First, the basic concept of the embodiment will be described. The embodiment generally relates to an abnormality notification system that connects a predetermined detection terminal to a receiver to monitor a predetermined abnormality in a monitoring area, and the abnormality notification system includes a fire alarm system that connects a terminal such as a fire detector or disaster prevention device to a receiver to monitor fires as abnormalities in the monitoring area, and is a concept that includes other systems that monitor various abnormalities such as gas leaks. Note that the following embodiment will be described with a fire alarm system as an example.

[0029] Here, the "receiver" is a device to which a detection terminal including a fire detector and a control terminal including disaster prevention equipment are connected, and which monitors fires using receiver information.

[0030] In addition, a "detection terminal" is a terminal device equipped with a sensor that detects abnormalities such as fires and gas leaks, and is a concept that includes a "fire detector" and a "transmitter" that transmits a fire notification signal by pressing a button.

[0031] In addition, a "fire detector" is a device that detects fires that occur in the monitored area, and includes "smoke detectors" equipped with a smoke detection unit that detects the smoke of a fire, "heat detectors" equipped with a heat detection unit that detects the heat of a fire, "flame detectors" equipped with an optical flame detection unit that detects infrared rays from a fire, "gas leak detectors" equipped with a gas detection unit that detects gas in a fire, and "combined detectors" that detect a combination of detection targets.

[0032] Furthermore, "fire detectors" are divided into "analog fire detectors" and "on-off fire detectors." "Analog fire detectors" have a transmission function with a unique address set, and transmit detection values ​​such as smoke and temperature associated with a fire as analog data to a receiver. "On-off fire detectors" send an alarm current through the signal line and send a fire signal to the receiver when smoke or temperature associated with a fire meets certain fire determination conditions. For this reason, "fire detectors" are divided into types such as "analog smoke detectors," "analog heat detectors," "on-off smoke detectors," and "on-off heat detectors."

[0033] In addition, the term "control terminal" refers to devices or equipment that are subject to control by the receiver, such as smoke control devices such as smoke dampers and fire doors, local audio equipment, and guiding lights, and is a concept that includes not only control devices connected to the receiver, but also devices such as indicator lights and speakers installed within the receiver, and even reporting devices installed in the receiver.

[0034] In addition, the fire alarm system notifies the location of the fire based on the identification information of the detection terminal that detected the fire when it occurred or the line to which the detection terminal is connected, and in the fire alarm system of this embodiment, in order to notify the location of the fire, the area name is stored in a specified higher-level device, and alternative area names can be stored and changed freely.

[0035] Here, the "higher-level device" includes a receiver, a general operation panel for monitoring and operating the disaster prevention equipment, a general display panel for displaying information about the disaster prevention equipment, and a management device on which a disaster prevention management system for managing the disaster prevention equipment on the cloud is built.

[0036] In addition, the "identification information" includes a terminal address set for each detection terminal in the case of R-type equipment, and a line address set for the line to which the detection terminal is connected in the case of P-type equipment, and the terminal or line that detected the fire can be identified by the identification information to notify the location of the fire, which is the detection location. In addition, "notification of the location of the fire" includes various ways of notifying the location of the fire, such as notification by voice or display.

[0037] Furthermore, the "district name" indicates a specific area within the monitoring area corresponding to one of the pieces of identification information, and includes, for example, a district name set to a district number or the like included in the receiver information held by a receiver of a conventional fire alarm system. The "district name" is changeable under certain conditions, or conversely, if the conditions are not met, the change is not permitted; for example, the change is permitted in a maintenance mode set when a manufacturer or maintenance company performs work, but is not changeable in a normal monitoring mode, and change conditions are set to prevent careless changes.

[0038] The "district alias" corresponds to any of the district names, and allows a specific area indicated by the corresponding district name to be indicated by a name different from the district name, and can be freely changed and stored in the upper device, and can be set at any timing, such as after a specific tenant name or room name is decided upon the start of operation. Since the "district alias" allows a specific area indicated by the corresponding district name to be indicated by a name different from the district name, it does not exclude setting a name that is the same as the district name. Since the "district alias" can be freely changed and stored in the upper device, it is not necessary that a district alias is stored for all district names stored in the upper device, and there may be district names for which a district alias is stored corresponding to any district name. The district alias is also information that can be changed, for example, in normal monitoring mode, so that the user can set it at any timing.

[0039] The higher-level device also includes a district alias change unit and a control unit. Here, the "district alias change unit" performs processing to change the district alias, and the "control unit" displays at least the district name or district alias as the location of a fire when a fire occurs. Here, "changing the district alias" includes writing a new district alias (new registration), rewriting an already stored district alias, deleting an already stored district alias, etc.

[0040] Furthermore, the "processing for changing the district alias" is not limited to the process of changing the district alias itself, but also includes, for example, output processing and input processing for performing the district alias change work on an external device different from the higher-level device, and the output processing and input processing may be performed using, for example, a removable portable memory device.

[0041] The "output process" generates and outputs district alias change information that includes variable information that includes a district alias and can be changed by an external device, and fixed information that includes at least a district name corresponding to the district alias included in the variable information and identification information corresponding to the district name and cannot be changed by an external device, while the "input process" changes the district alias stored in the higher-level device when district alias change information in which the district alias has been changed is input.

[0042] Moreover, it is not necessary for the district alias change information to include all of the district names and identification information corresponding to the district aliases, and the "district alias change unit" generates the district alias change information by narrowing down the district names and identification information corresponding to the district aliases included in the district alias change information using a predetermined narrowing down condition, and the narrowing down condition includes, for example, a condition based on an area within the monitoring area and a condition based on identification information. Furthermore, the "condition based on an area within the monitoring area" includes, for example, if the monitoring area is a building or facility, a specific building or floor is specified, and the "condition based on identification information" includes, for example, a terminal address set for each detection terminal in the case of an R-type facility, or one or more line addresses set for a signal line to which a detection terminal is connected in the case of a P-type facility.

[0043] In addition, the "control unit" displays the location of the fire by displaying an alias for the area, displaying the area name and the alias for the area, and selectively displaying the same.

[0044] As for displaying the alias name of the district, the control unit displays the alias name of the district as the location of the abnormality when the location where the abnormality occurred is a location where an alias name of the district is stored corresponding to the district name, and displays the district name as the location where the abnormality occurred when the location where the abnormality occurred is a location where an alias name of the district is not stored corresponding to the district name; that is, when the alias name of the district is stored, the alias name of the district is displayed, and when the alias name of the district is not stored, the district name is displayed, and the alias name of the district is displayed preferentially.

[0045] As for displaying the district name and district alias, the control unit displays the district name and district alias as the location where the abnormality occurred if the location where the abnormality occurred is a location where a district alias is stored corresponding to the district name, and displays the district name as the location where the abnormality occurred if the location where the abnormality occurred is a location where a district alias is not stored corresponding to the district name; that is, if the district alias is stored, the control unit displays the district name and district alias, and if the district alias is not stored, the control unit displays the district name.

[0046] As a selective display, the control unit displays either the preselected district name, district alias, or district name and district alias, that is, displays in a pattern selected from three patterns: district name, district alias, or district name and district alias.

[0047] A specific embodiment will be described below. In the embodiment, a case will be described in which the abnormality alarm equipment is an "R-type fire alarm equipment", the "host device" is a "receiver", the "district name" is "information that can be changed in the maintenance mode of the receiver but cannot be changed in the normal monitoring mode", the "district alias" is "information that can be changed in the normal monitoring mode of the receiver", the "detection terminal identification information" is "the detection terminal address", and the "control unit" is a "fire alarm control unit".

[0049] [a. Overview of fire alarm system] An overview of a fire alarm system according to an embodiment will be described below with reference to Fig. 1 showing an R-type fire alarm system.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 1, for example, an R-type receiver 10 is installed in a management center of a building where a fire alarm system is installed, and signal lines 12 (12-1) to 12 (12-3) are drawn out from the receiver 10 for each system to the monitored area.

[0051] A plurality of analog fire detectors 14, each having a unique address and a transmission function, are connected to the signal line 12 (12-1) as detection terminals, and an on-off fire detector 18 and a transmitter 20 are connected to a detector line 17 drawn from a repeater 16, each having a unique address and a transmission function. An addressable transmitter 22, each having a unique address and a transmission function, is connected to the signal line 12 (12-2) as a detection terminal in addition to the analog fire detectors 14. A gas leak detector, not shown, is connected to the signal lines 12 (12-1) and 12 (12-2) via a repeater, each having a unique address and a transmission function.

[0052] Moreover, a unique address is set as a control terminal on the signal line 12 (12-3), and for example, a smoke control device 24 is connected via a repeater 16 having a transmission function.

[0053] Here, the maximum number of addresses set for terminals connected to each of the signal lines 12 (12-1) to 12 (12-3) is, for example, 255, and a maximum of 255 terminals can be connected to each of the signal lines 12 (12-1) to 12 (12-3).

[0054] [b. Functional configuration of the receiver] Next, the functional configuration of the receiver will be described. In this description, reference will be made to Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 1, the receiver 10 is provided with a main CPU 26 and a plurality of sub-CPU boards 28 (28-1) to 28 (28-3), and the sub-CPU boards 28 (28-1) to 28 (28-3) are provided with sub-CPUs 30 (30-1) to 30 (30-3) and transmission units 32 (32-1) to 32 (32-3).

[0055] The main CPU 26 and the sub CPUs 30 (30-1) to 30 (30-3) are connected by a serial transfer bus 34 and transmit and receive data between them. The main CPU 26 is connected to a display 36 with a touch panel using a liquid crystal display panel or the like, a display unit 38 provided with representative lights for fire, gas leakage, and failure, LED indicator lights, etc., an operation unit 40 provided with various switches required for fire monitoring, an audio alarm unit 42 provided with a speaker, and a reporting unit 44.

[0056] The main CPU 26 is also provided with a USB port 45, which allows for the insertion of a portable USB memory 52 to read and write data including a district alias change table 72 (district alias change information), which will be explained later. The main CPU 26 is provided with a fire alarm control unit 46 as a function realized by executing a program, and also with a receiver information table 50 that stores receiver information including the district name and the district alias, and further with a district alias change unit 48 as a function for changing the district alias stored in correspondence with the district name in the receiver information table 50.

[0057] [c. Fire monitoring control of receiver] Next, the fire monitoring control of the receiver will be described. Taking the sub-CPU 30 (30-1) of the sub-CPU board 28 (28-1) and the analog fire detector 14 as an example, the sub-CPU 30 (30-1) performs fire monitoring control by instructing the transmission unit 32 (32-1) to transmit and receive signals with the analog fire detector 14 according to a predetermined communication protocol. The downstream signal from the transmission unit 32 (32-1) to the analog fire detector 14 is transmitted in voltage mode. This voltage mode signal is transmitted as a voltage pulse that changes the line voltage of the signal line 12 (12-1) between, for example, 18 volts and 30 volts.

[0058] On the other hand, the upstream signal from the analog fire detector 14 to the transmission unit 32 (32-1) is transmitted in a current mode. In this current mode, a signal current flows through the signal line 12 (12-1) at the timing of bit 1 of the transmission data, and the upstream signal is transmitted to the receiver 10 as a so-called current pulse train.

[0059] During normal monitoring, the fire monitoring control by the sub-CPU 30 (30-1) periodically instructs the transmission unit 32 (32-1) to transmit a broadcast batch AD conversion signal including a batch AD conversion command, and the analog fire detector 14 that receives this batch AD conversion signal detects and retains the smoke concentration or temperature as sensor data. Next, the sub-CPU 30 (30-1) transmits a call signal including a polling command that sequentially specifies terminal addresses, and when the analog fire detector 14 receives a call signal with an address that matches its own address, it transmits a response signal including the sensor data it is retaining at that time to the transmission unit 32 (32-1).

[0060] In addition, when the analog fire detector 14 detects a fire, it transmits a fire interrupt signal to the transmission unit 32 (32-1), and when the sub-CPU 30 (30-1) receives the fire interrupt signal via the transmission unit 32 (32-1), it transmits a group search command signal to identify the group that includes the analog fire detector 14 that detected the fire, and then transmits an intra-group search command signal to identify the address of the analog fire detector 14 that detected the fire, and intensively collects sensor data of the analog fire detector 14 that detected the fire and transmits it to the main CPU 26 via the serial transfer bus 34.

[0061] The fire alarm control unit 46 of the main CPU 26 judges whether the sensor data received from the sub CPU 30 (30-1) satisfies a predetermined fire judgment condition, for example, whether it exceeds a predetermined fire judgment level, and when the sensor data reaches the fire judgment level, judges it to be a fire and confirms the fire, turns on the fire representative light of the display unit 38, outputs a predetermined main sound alarm indicating the occurrence of a fire from the speaker of the sound alarm unit 42, displays fire alarm information including the location of the fire based on the sensor address where the fire was detected on the display 36, and further outputs a fire alarm signal to the outside by the alarm transmission unit 44 to perform predetermined alarm transmission control, etc. In the following explanation, the case where a fire is confirmed by the fire control unit 46 may be referred to as "occurrence of a fire event".

[0062] Fire monitoring control by the transmission unit 32 (32-2) of the sub-CPU 30 (30-2) provided on the sub-CPU board 28 (28-2) and the analog fire detector 14 is the same as in the case of the sub-CPU board 28 (28-1) described above. In addition, for the sub-CPU 30 (30-3) and transmission unit 32 (32-3) provided on the sub-CPU board 28 (28-3), when a fire is confirmed by the main CPU 26, interlocking control is performed to operate the smoke control device 24 or the like, which is the control terminal set as the interlocking destination, based on the interlocking information included in the receiver information table 50.

[0063] [d. Appearance of the receiver] Next, the external appearance of the receiver will be described with reference to Figure 2, which shows the external appearance of the receiver from the front.

[0064] As shown in Fig. 2, a display 36 using a liquid crystal display panel with a touch panel or the like is disposed on the face of the receiver 10. The display 36 displays color images on its screen, and the touch panel disposed on the screen allows selection and input by touching the screen. Note that instead of the display 36, an appropriate image display panel such as an EL panel can be used.

[0065] An operation unit 40 is provided on the panel below the display 36, and a fire decision switch 60, a main sound stop switch 62, and a district sound pause switch 64, for example, are arranged on the operation unit 40, enabling fire response operations in the event of a fire event. A small door 68 is provided on the panel below the operation unit 40 so as to be freely opened forward with the lower side as an axis, and various operation switches including a recovery switch are provided on the inside of the small door 68.

[0066] A telephone microphone 66 is disposed on the outside of the fire judgement switch 60, and in combination with a speaker inside the sound hole 58 provided next to the display 36, a hands-free emergency telephone function is realized.

[0067] Also, on the upper panel of the display 36, there is provided a display unit 38, for example, a fire indicator light 54 and a gas leak indicator light 56. Furthermore, a printer 70 is provided on the lower side of the panel of the receiver 10, so that events that occur on the receiver 10 can be printed out.

[0068] [e. Receiver information] Next, the receiver information stored in the receiver information table provided in the main CPU of the receiver will be described with reference to Fig. 3, which shows an example of a receiver information table with the area name storage area left empty, and Fig. 4, which shows a receiver information table with information stored in the area name storage area of ​​Fig. 3.

[0069] The receiver information table 50 provided in the main CPU 26 of the receiver 10 shown in FIG. 1 stores receiver information relating to detection terminals such as the analog fire detector (analog smoke detector) 14 used for fire monitoring control by the fire alarm control unit 46, the repeater 16 to which the on-off fire detector 18 is connected, the addressable transmitter 22, and the gas leak detector (gas sensor), as shown in FIG. 3.

[0070] The receiver information stored in receiver information table 50 is prepared by a manufacturer such as a factory at the installation stage of the fire alarm system and stored in USB memory 52. ​​The USB memory 52 storing the receiver information is inserted into USB port 45 of receiver 10, and with receiver 10 started up in maintenance mode by a specified operation, the receiver information is read out from USB memory 52, and the receiver information is stored in receiver information table 50 of main CPU 26.

[0071] As shown in FIG. 3, the receiver information table 50 has memory areas for "panel," "system," "address," "type," "line," "building," "floor," and "district," followed by "district name" and "alias," as information for identifying the detected terminal, and finally a memory area for identifying the control terminal that is the "link destination."

[0072] Here, since tenant names and room names have not been decided at the construction stage of the fire alarm system when the receiver information is produced by the manufacturer such as a factory, the "district name" stores area names such as "1st floor lobby" and "1st floor 1st conference room" corresponding to the construction area. Note that the "district name" does not have to be a name indicating a location or area such as a lobby or conference room, but may be other information such as a district number.

[0073] In addition, the "alias area" is an area that stores the names of the tenant name, office name, etc., when the tenant name, room name, etc. have been decided. Before the tenant name and room name are decided, the memory area for the alias area is empty, as shown in Figure 3.

[0074] The receiver information table 50 shown in Figure 4 stores tenant names and store names as necessary in the "alias" memory area that was empty in Figure 3. For example, "Select Shop A" is stored as the alias for the area name "Main building south 1st floor, 1st store" for "Address 3," and "Cosmetics B" is stored as the alias for the area name "Main building south 1st floor, 2nd store" for "Address 4."

[0075] In addition, each memory area of ​​the receiver information table 50 can be changed (rewritten) as necessary after reading from the USB memory 52 and storing the receiver information; however, memory areas other than the "alias area" can only be changed when the receiver 10 is in maintenance mode to prevent unnecessary changes. On the other hand, the "alias area" memory area can be changed, including new registrations and rewriting, even in the normal monitoring mode of the receiver 10, so that it can be changed by the user when a tenant name or room name is decided or when a tenant is changed.

[0076] In addition, although "Type" indicates the name of the detection terminal such as "analog smoke" or "transmitter" in Figs. 3 and 4, in reality, a type code determined according to the type of detection terminal is stored. Also, in "Type", the state of the detection terminal such as "analog smoke" or "gas sensor", for example, "fire" or "gas leak" is stored. Also, in the storage area of ​​"Linkage destination", for example, "1-111", "1-112", or "1-113", which is a combination of "system" and "address", is stored as information specifying the control terminal of the linkage destination.

[0077] Also, although the receiver information table 50 in Figures 3 and 4 is shown in a two-dimensional list format, the actual data format is arbitrary, and for example, a receiver information record is formed with the storage contents per line as one record. In this case, the receiver information record is composed of a header section and a data section, and the header section stores, for example, the start byte and byte length of each storage area, and also stores information related to storage control, such as a flag that sets whether writing to each area is permitted or prohibited. The data section following the header section stores the information shown in each area in Figures 3 and 4. For this reason, it is possible to access the memory on a record-by-record basis (read and write) or to access one or more specified storage areas within a record.

[0078] [f. Processing for changing district aliases] Next, the process for changing the district alias will be described. In this description, reference will be made to Fig. 5, which shows the district alias change table and its record format output to an external device to change the district alias of the receiver information stored in the receiver information table, and Fig. 6, which shows the district alias change table input to the receiver after the district alias is changed in the external device. Note that Fig. 5(A) shows the district alias change table output to the external device, and Fig. 5(B) shows the district alias change record, which is the record format of the district alias change table.

[0079] In addition, while the district alias change table 72 in Figure 5 (A) is shown in a two-dimensional list format, the actual data format is generated as district alias change records 74 formed as one record per line, as shown in Figure 5 (B).

[0080] Here, the district alias change table 72 extracts the "address," "type," and "district name" of the detected terminal from the receiver information table 50 as information to identify the detected terminal corresponding to the district alias and places them in a memory area, and finally places a memory area for the "district alias" to be changed.

[0081] The district alias change record 74 is composed of a header section 76 and a data section 78. The header section 76 is arbitrary, but for example, a write-protected X byte 7610 and a write-permitted Y byte 7620 are set in the data section 78, and the X bytes that serve as the storage areas for the "address," "type," and "district name" arranged in the data section 78 are write-protected to be fixed information, while the Y bytes that serve as the storage area for the "district alias" are write-permitted to be variable information.

[0082] Therefore, when the district alias change table 72 (district alias change record 74) before the change is stored in the USB memory 52 and the USB memory 52 is inserted in an external device such as a personal computer having a document creation function to change the district alias in the district alias change table 72, the "address", "type", and "district name" cannot be changed in the external device because they are fixed information that cannot be rewritten, and only the "district alias" which is variable information that is permitted to be rewritten can be rewritten. Also, the "address", "type", and "district name" displayed as fixed information are information necessary to specify the tenant name, room name, etc. to be written in the district alias, but they do not necessarily have to be "address", "type", and "district name", and for example, other information stored in any memory area necessary to specify the district alias may be extracted from the receiver information table 50 and arranged.

[0083] In addition, in order to change the district alias in the receiver information table 50 using an external device, the output processing and input processing of the district alias change table 72 by the district alias change unit 48 can be performed by a specified operation using, for example, the district alias change screen on the display 36 in the normal monitoring mode of the receiver 10.

[0084] The output process of the district alias change table 72 by the district alias change unit 48 generates the original district alias change table 72 (district alias change record 74) as shown in Fig. 5 from the receiver information table 50 and outputs it to the USB memory 52 set in the USB port 45. During the output process, it is also possible to set predetermined narrowing conditions for the receiver information table 50 to generate the district alias change table 72, and the narrowing conditions include, for example, the designation of the building, floor, and address of the detection terminal included in the receiver information.

[0085] In addition, the input process of the district alias change unit 48 to the district alias change table 72 in which the district alias has been rewritten by an external device involves setting the USB memory 52 storing the rewritten district alias change table 72 as shown in Figure 6 in the USB port 45 of the receiver 10, reading it, and changing the district alias in the receiver information table 50 based on the rewritten district alias change table 72.

[0086] During input processing, since the "address," "type," and "district name" of the district alias change table 72 input to the receiver 10 are fixed information, the district alias change unit 48 does not rewrite the storage area of ​​the receiver information table 50 corresponding to the fixed information, but rewrites only the storage area corresponding to the "district alias," which is variable information, thereby changing the "district alias" in the receiver information table 50. Note that it is not essential to rewrite all district aliases, and any district alias included in the district alias change table 72 can be rewritten. In other words, the receiver information table 50 may have areas (empty areas) in which no district alias is stored.

[0087] [g. Operation for changing location aliases using the display screen] Next, the operation for changing the district alias using the display screen of the receiver will be described with reference to Fig. 7 showing the normal monitoring screen of the receiver, Fig. 8 showing the maintenance screen transitioned from the normal monitoring screen, Fig. 9 showing the district alias change screen transitioned from the maintenance screen, and Fig. 10 showing the district alias edit screen transitioned to by the narrowing operation on the district alias change screen.

[0088] (g1. Normal monitoring screen) When the receiver 10 is operating in normal monitoring mode, a normal monitoring screen 80 shown in Fig. 7 is displayed on the display 36. The upper right corner of the normal monitoring screen 80 displays "12:00" as the current time, and in the upper center "Normal operation" is displayed as a status display 84. Below that is a menu screen, and menu buttons 86, 88, and 90 are displayed with the following menus: "Device startup / report transfer stop," "Area sound stop setting," and "Maintenance / evacuation drill."

[0089] Here, when changing the district alias, the "Maintenance / Evacuation Drill" menu button 90 is touched to transition to a maintenance screen 92 shown in Fig. 8. The maintenance screen 92 has menu buttons 94, 96, and 98 arranged thereon, and displays the menus "Maintenance 1", "Maintenance 2", and "District Alias ​​Change", so that when the "District Alias ​​Change" menu button 98 is touched, transition to the district alias change screen 100 shown in Fig. 9 is made. Note that the screen displayed on the display 36 shown here is merely an example, and for example, the "District Alias ​​Change" menu button may be arranged on the normal monitoring screen 80, and transition to the district alias change screen 100 may be made via another display screen instead of the maintenance screen 92.

[0090] (g2.District alias change screen) The district alias change screen 100 in Figure 9 displays "District alias change" as the title and "Narrow down district names" as an operation item 102 below. For setting the narrowing down conditions for generating the district alias change table 72 from the receiver information table 50, there are provided a building narrowing down setting box 104, a floor narrowing down setting box 106, an address narrowing down setting box 108 and an all setting button 110 for all, as well as an execute button 112 for generating the district alias change table 72 based on the narrowing down conditions that have been set.

[0091] In order to generate the district alias change table 72, for example, "1" is input into the narrowing down setting frame 104 for the building, and "1" is input into the narrowing down setting frame 106 for the floor to set "building 1" and "1st floor" as the extraction targets, and when the execute button 112 is operated in this state, the receiver information records with the building number "1" or the floor number "1" are read from the receiver information table 50 shown in FIG. 3, and the district alias change table 72 is generated. Note that the address setting in the address narrowing down setting frame 108 in FIG. 9 is set by, for example, inputting a start address and an end address to set an address range, or by inputting an arbitrary address. Also, although the narrowing down setting is set to "building", "floor" or "address", it is not limited to this, and it may be possible to narrow down based on other information such as "district" included in the receiver information table 50.

[0092] Then, necessary information, for example, memory areas for "district name" and "district alias" are extracted from the generated district alias change table 72, and the district alias editing table 132 is displayed in list form, as shown in the district alias editing screen 130 of Figure 10.

[0093] A scroll section 138 is provided on the right side of the district alias editing table 132 in Fig. 10, which allows the table list to be moved up and down for display. The district alias editing table 132 is composed of, for example, a district name column 134 and a district alias column 136. The district name column 134 displays a district name stored in the receiver information table 50, such as "Main building south, 1st floor, in front of the elevator" extracted based on the narrowing-down conditions, and the district alias column 136 is blank if no information has been written yet.

[0094] After checking the district alias editing table 132 generated based on the narrowing down conditions on the district alias editing screen 130 of Figure 10, operate the return button 140 to return to the district alias changing screen 100 of Figure 9, and according to the operation item 114 displayed below the operation item 102 for "narrowing down district names" as "insert USB memory 52 into the USB port 45 of the receiver 10 and operate the execute button 116 located to the right of the operation item 114, an output process is performed in which the district alias changing table 72 is written into the inserted USB memory 52.

[0095] Then, the USB memory 52 in which the district alias change table 72 is written is set in an external device, the district alias change table 72 is displayed, and an editing work is performed in which a tenant name, a store name, etc., specified in the external device in correspondence with the district name, etc., is written into the district alias.

[0096] Next, the input process for the edited district alias change table 52 is performed. Above the operation item 126 related to the input process, "Select district display" is displayed as operation item 118 in order to select the method of displaying the location of a fire on the fire monitoring screen displayed on the receiver 10 when a fire event occurs, and to the right of this are selection buttons 120, 122, and 124 labeled "District name," "District alias," and "District name and district alias." By this, before performing the input process for the district alias change table 72 using the USB memory 52, one of the selection buttons 120, 122, and 124 is operated to select whether to display "District name," "District alias," or "District name and district alias" as the method of displaying the location of a fire on the fire alarm screen.

[0097] Then, after selecting the district display, insert the USB memory 52 again into the USB port 45 of the receiver 10 in accordance with the operation item 126 that reads "Insert USB memory with changed district alias table and write," and operate the execute button 128 located to the right of the operation item 126. The edited district alias change table 72 will be read from the USB memory 52, the changed district alias will be stored in the district alias memory area of ​​the receiver information table 50, and the district alias will be changed.

[0098] The selection of the area display on the fire alarm screen may be made after input processing of the area alias change table 72 according to the operation item 126, or the change operation may be made on a screen other than the area alias change screen.

[0099] Furthermore, in order to enable the district alias to be changed on the receiver 10, the district alias can be edited on the district alias editing screen 130 in FIG. 10, and an execution button can be added separately to the district alias editing screen 130 so that by operating the execution button, the process of changing the district alias in the receiver information table 50 is performed based on the edited district alias editing table 132.

[0100] [h.Fire alarm screen] Next, the fire alarm screen displayed when a fire event occurs on the receiver will be described with reference to Fig. 11 showing a fire alarm screen displaying the district name, Fig. 12 showing a fire alarm screen displaying an alternative district name, and Fig. 13 showing a fire alarm screen displaying both the district name and the alternative district name.

[0101] FIG. 11 shows a fire alarm screen 142 that is displayed on the display 36 when a fire event occurs, and shows a "district name" as the location of the fire. The fire alarm screen 142 shows a fire mark 146 and "There is a fire" as a status display 144 side by side at the top. Below that, a fire location display section 148 is displayed. The fire location display section 148 displays, for example, "Main building south 1, 2nd store" as the district name 150 based on the district name stored in the receiver information table 50. The fire location display section 148 also displays area information such as "Building 1, 1st floor, 02nd district", a display indicating the first report as "001", and the time of the fire outbreak as "Fire outbreak 16:52".

[0102] In addition, below the fire location display section 148, a fire response guidance 154 saying "There is a fire. Please check the scene" is displayed, followed by a main sound stop button 156 saying "Stop this alarm" and a screen transition button 158 saying "Proceed."

[0103] Here, the fire alarm screen 142 in Figure 11 is the screen that is set by selecting the "district name" selection button 120 as the "district display selection" of the operation item 118 on the district alias change screen 100 in Figure 9, and even if a "district alias" is stored in the receiver information table 50 corresponding to the "district name," the "district alias" is not displayed and the "district name" is displayed as the location of the fire, as in conventional fire alarm systems.

[0104] 12 is another example of a fire alarm screen 142 that is displayed on the display 36 when a fire event occurs, and shows "alias" as the location of the fire. In the fire location display section 148 of the fire alarm screen 142, based on the aliases of the areas stored as the aliases of the areas in the receiver information table 50 as the aliases of the areas 152, for example, "Cosmetics B" is displayed as the alias of the area corresponding to the area name "Main Building South 1, 2nd Store". Therefore, a supervisor (user) who sees the fire alarm screen 142 can accurately and quickly recognize the location of the fire, since the alias of the area "Cosmetics B" is a store name that the supervisor is familiar with on a daily basis, and can respond to the fire by, for example, checking the site.

[0105] Here, the fire alarm screen 142 in Fig. 12 is set by selecting the "district alias" selection button 122 as the "district display selection" of the operation item 118 on the district alias change screen 100 in Fig. 9, and displays the "district alias" stored in the receiver information table 50 as the location of the fire. If the location of the fire is a district name for which no "district alias" is stored corresponding to the "district name," the "district name" is displayed as shown in Fig. 11 to prevent the location of the fire from not being displayed. In other words, if a "district alias" is stored corresponding to the "district name" that is the location of the fire, the "district alias" is displayed, and if no "district alias" is stored corresponding to the "district name" that is the location of the fire, the "district name" is displayed.

[0106] 13 is another example of a fire alarm screen 142 that is displayed on the display 36 when a fire event occurs, and displays both the "district name" and "alias" as the location of the fire. Based on the district name and district alias stored in the receiver information table 50, the fire location display section 148 of the fire alarm screen 142 displays, for example, both "Main Building South 1, 2nd Store" as district name 150 and "Cosmetics B" as district alias 152. This allows a supervisor looking at the fire alarm screen 142 to more accurately and quickly recognize the location of the fire from the display of the district name "Main Building South 1, 2nd Store" and the district alias "Cosmetics B," enabling them to respond to the fire, such as by confirming the scene.

[0107] Here, the fire alarm screen 142 in Fig. 13 is set by selecting the "District alias and district alias" selection button 124 as the "District display selection" of the operation item 118 on the district alias change screen 100 in Fig. 9, and both the "District alias" and the "District alias" stored in the receiver information table 50 are displayed as the location of the fire. Note that if the district name for which no "District alias" is stored corresponding to the "District name" is the location of the fire, the "District name" is displayed as shown in Fig. 11. In other words, if a "District alias" is stored corresponding to the "District name" that is the location of the fire, the "District name" and the "District alias" are displayed, and if a "District alias" is not stored corresponding to the "District name" that is the location of the fire, the "District name" is displayed.

[0108] [i. Distributed fire alarm system consisting of receivers and relay panels] Next, a distributed fire alarm system composed of a receiver and a relay panel will be described. In this description, reference will be made to Fig. 14 showing a distributed fire alarm system composed of a receiver and a relay panel.

[0109] In cases where the fire alarm system is large-scale, such as when the facility to be monitored is divided into multiple buildings, as shown in FIG. 14, a receiver 10 is installed in a disaster prevention center or the like, and relay panels 160 (160-1), 160 (160-2) are installed, for example, for each building, and the receiver 10 and the relay panels 160 (160-1), 160 (160-2) are communicatively connected via a network line 162 such as Ethernet (registered trademark).

[0110] The receiver 10 is basically the same as the receiver 10 shown in Fig. 1 except for the communication function with the relay boards 160 (160-1), 160 (160-2) via the network line 162. In contrast, the relay boards 160 (160-1), 160 (160-2) are configured without the operation display function including the display 36, the display unit 38, the operation unit 40 and the sound alarm unit 42 from the receiver 10, and are provided with a relay board control unit 164 equivalent to the fire alarm control unit 46 in place of the fire alarm control unit 46, and a relay board information table 166 equivalent to the receiver information table 50 in place of the receiver information table 50, in addition to the district alias change unit 165. Also, for each of the relay boards 160 (160-1), 160 (160-2), a terminal including an analog fire detector 14 is connected to the transmission lines 12 (12-1) to 12 (12-3) drawn out to the security zone in the monitoring area in charge of the relay board 160 (160-1), 160 (160-2) in the same manner as the receiver 10.

[0111] The district alias name stored in the relay panel information table 166 of the relay panel 160 (160-1), 160 (160-2) is changed by the district alias name change unit 48 provided in the receiver 10. For this reason, the district alias name change unit 48 of the receiver 10 has a processing function for changing the district alias name in the relay panel information table 166 of each of the relay panels 160 (160-1), 160 (160-2) in the normal monitoring mode during operation of the fire alarm system.

[0112] For example, when changing the district alias in the relay panel information table 166 of the relay panel 160 (160-1), the USB memory 52 is inserted into the USB port 45 of the receiver 10, and a district alias change screen for the relay panel 160 (160-1) similar to that shown in FIG. 9 is displayed on the display 36 of the receiver 10, and output processing of the district alias change table is performed.

[0113] The output process by the district alias change unit 48 involves making a data transfer request to the specified relay panel 160 (160-1) via the network line 162, acquiring the relay panel information table 166 of the relay panel 160 (160-1), generating a district alias change table based on the specified filtering conditions entered on the district alias change screen, and outputting the table to the USB memory 52.

[0114] Then, editing work is performed using an external device to write district aliases such as tenant names or store names in the district alias area, the USB memory 52 in which the district alias change table after the district alias editing is stored is set in the USB port 45 of the receiver 10, and input processing of the edited district alias change table is performed based on a specified screen operation on the district alias change screen.

[0115] The input process by the district alias change unit 48 involves transferring the edited district alias change table read from the USB memory 52 to the relay panel 160 (160-1) via the network line 162, and the district alias change unit 165 of the relay panel 160 (160-1) receiving the edited district alias change table reads out district alias information from the edited district alias change table and writes it into the memory area of ​​the corresponding district alias in the repeater information table 166, thereby performing the process of changing the district alias.

[0116] Furthermore, a USB port 45 may be provided in the relay panels 160 (160-1) and 160 (160-2), and the process for changing the district alias, including input processing and output processing of the district alias change table, may be performed by the district alias change unit 165 of the relay panels 160 (160-1) and 160 (160-2) without going through the receiver 10, and each relay panel may perform the process of changing the district alias stored in its own relay panel information table 166.

[0117] [j. Modifications of the present invention] Modifications of the fire alarm system according to the present invention will now be described. In addition to the above-described embodiment, the fire alarm system according to the present invention includes the following modifications.

[0118] (Host device) In the above embodiment, the higher-level device is a receiver, but the higher-level device may be a management device (server device) in which a disaster prevention management system that manages disaster prevention equipment on the cloud is constructed, and the setting of the district alias is performed only by the management device, and the receiver of the disaster prevention equipment managed by the management device does not need to set the district alias. In this way, the management company does not need to perform setting operations on the receiver, and the district alias can be displayed on the management device and another device such as a smartphone that can access the management device, making it easier to set the district alias according to the convenience of the user.

[0119] In addition, if the higher-level devices that can set an alias for a district are the receiver and the management device (server device), it is possible to set different aliases for the district on the receiver and the management device (server device). This allows the management company and general visitors to adjust the wording according to the receiver / viewer, making the display of the alias for the district easier to understand. In addition, the management device may be allowed to set an alias for a district according to the user who accesses it.

[0120] (P-type fire alarm system) The above embodiment takes as an example an R-type fire alarm system in which a terminal such as an analog fire detector is connected to a receiver via a signal line, but it is also possible to similarly set up a memory area for alias district names corresponding to the district names associated with the lines and terminals identified by the addresses and change the alias district names in the same manner for a P-type (Proprietary-type) fire alarm system in which an address is set on the detector line pulled out from the receiver and an addressable fire detector with a transmission function is connected.

[0121] (USB memory) In the above embodiment, a USB memory that stores the district alias change table is set in the receiver in order to change the district alias name with an external device, but any suitable storage medium can be used as long as it is a portable memory device other than a USB memory. Also, without using a storage medium, the district alias change table may be transmitted and received between the receiver and the external device using a wired or wireless communication line.

[0122] (others) Furthermore, the present invention includes appropriate modifications that do not impair the objects and advantages of the present invention, and is not limited to the numerical values ​​shown in the above embodiment. [Explanation of symbols]
