Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an emergency transmission device, and more particularly to an emergency transmission device that is capable of responding to a plurality of types of emergency situations. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there has been an emergency broadcast system. The emergency broadcast system is used in facilities, etc., to make an emergency broadcast when an emergency such as a fire or an intrusion occurs, to notify the surrounding area by voice that an emergency has occurred, and to share information (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-26342 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the event of an emergency at a childcare facility such as a kindergarten or nursery school that caters to infants, particularly infants aged 0 to 3, if an emergency broadcast is made to share information, the emergency broadcast will be heard not only by adults such as teachers and nursery staff, but also by the infants present. This emergency broadcast, which is unfamiliar to the infants present at the facility, may irritate them, causing them to panic and hindering subsequent evacuation.

[0005] Furthermore, if an emergency broadcast is made to share information about a suspicious person who has invaded a facility, the emergency broadcast will be heard by the intruder, and may actually provoke the intruder, causing the situation to worsen.

[0006] As such, even in the event of an emergency, there are situations where it is difficult to make an emergency announcement. Therefore, even if a facility has emergency announcement equipment, it may not actually be used in an emergency. Therefore, the present invention aims to provide an emergency announcement means that is less likely to irritate infants and intruders. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention is an emergency communication device that is capable of responding to a plurality of types of emergency situations, and is equipped with a display means and a notification means, the display means having a lighting means and an acoustic means, the lighting means being capable of lighting or flashing a light of a color corresponding to each emergency situation, the acoustic means being capable of sounding an alarm sound corresponding to each emergency situation, the notification means being provided separately from the display means and having a plurality of operating means corresponding to each emergency situation, and when the operating means is operated, the light of the color corresponding to the emergency situation that the operated operating means corresponds to lights up or flashes and the alarm sound corresponding to the emergency situation that the operated operating means corresponds to is sounded, characterized in that this emergency communication device.

[0008] In the present invention, the plurality of operating means may include a portable operating means and a stationary operating means, and the portable operating means and the stationary operating means may correspond to different emergency situations. In the present invention, the plurality of operating means may include a portable operating means, which has a light source unit and / or a vibration unit, and the light source unit may illuminate or flash a light of a color corresponding to the illuminated or flashing lighting means. In the present invention, the color may be a color belonging to light (lt) or bright (b) in the Japan Color Research Institute color system. In the present invention, the maximum volume of the alert sound may be set to 65 to 70 dB. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] In the present invention, in an emergency transmission device, when a plurality of operating means corresponding to each emergency situation are operated, a light of a color corresponding to the emergency situation corresponding to the operated operating means lights up or flashes, and an alarm sound corresponding to the emergency situation corresponding to the operated operating means is sounded, thereby making it possible to provide an emergency transmission means that is less likely to irritate infants and intruders. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 3] 1A and 1B are perspective views of operating means of a notification means in an embodiment of the present invention, where FIG. 1A is a portable operating means and FIG. 1B is a stationary operating means. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 3. The emergency communication device 1 is provided to notify staff of the facility, such as teachers or childcare workers, of the occurrence of an emergency in the facility in which the emergency communication device 1 is installed, for example, a facility with infants and young children, such as a childcare facility represented by a kindergarten or nursery school, and is provided to be able to respond to multiple types of emergencies, such as fire, intrusion, flooding, etc. The emergency communication device 1 is provided with a display means 2 and a notification means 3 for this purpose.

[0012] The display means 2 is provided to notify of an emergency that has occurred, and is provided so that it can receive information about the emergency when an operating means 7 of the notification means 3, which will be described later, is operated, and has a lighting means 4 and an audio means 5. The display means 2 is preferably installed at eye level for adults.

[0013] The lighting means 4 is provided so that it can light or flash light of a color corresponding to each emergency, and in this embodiment, it has multiple lighting units 6 corresponding to each color. Specifically, the lighting units 6 include a lighting unit 6A that corresponds to fire, a lighting unit 6B that corresponds to intrusion, and a lighting unit 6C that can be customized for flooding and other notifications (such as notifications within the facility). It is also possible to provide lighting units 6 that can emit light of multiple colors, and to have only one lighting unit 6. The number and shape of the lighting units 6 can be selected appropriately, and the shape of the lighting unit 6 can be, for example, a shape that is natural in a facility where infants and young children are present, such as a star shape, a moon shape, or a flower shape, or it can also be a simple rectangle.

[0014] It is preferable that the light that the lighting means 4 flashes or lights is a pale or pastel color, that is, a color that belongs to light (lt) or bright (b) in the Nippon Shikiken color scheme. Because such light is paler than primary color light, it is less likely to irritate infants and young children in the facility, and because the color does not look strange even if it is lit or flashing in the facility, it is less likely to irritate intruders.

[0015] The acoustic means 5 is capable of sounding an alarm sound M corresponding to each emergency. The maximum volume of the alarm sound M is preferably 65 to 70 dB. At this volume, it is unlikely to irritate infants and young children in the facility, and the staff of the facility will be able to notice the alarm sound M.

[0016] Furthermore, it is preferable that the alarm sound M be a sound that does not sound out of place in the facility, such as a pleasant sound like a music box. Such a sound is unlikely to be recognized as alarm sound M unless someone knows that it is alarm sound M that notifies of an emergency, and is unlikely to irritate intruders or infants in the facility.

[0017] The notification means 3 is provided separately from the display means 2 and has a plurality of operation means 7 corresponding to each emergency. The notification means 3 is also provided to be capable of communicating with each other, and emergency information is sent to the display means 2 when the operation means 7 is operated.

[0018] In this embodiment, the operation means 7 includes a portable operation means 7A and a stationary operation means 7B, and different emergency situations are handled by the portable operation means 7A and the stationary operation means 7B. Specifically, the portable operation means 7A notifies the user that a suspicious person has entered the facility, and the stationary operation means 7B notifies the user of other emergencies, such as a fire.

[0019] The portable operating means 7A has a light source unit 8 and / or a vibration unit 9, and in this embodiment, further includes a push button-shaped operating unit 10. The portable operating means 7A is configured to be able to receive information about an emergency when another operating means 7 is operated, and can notify the wearer of the portable operating means 7A that an emergency has occurred by lighting up, flashing, or vibrating the light source unit 8 and / or the vibration unit 9.

[0020] The shape of the portable operating device 7A can be selected as appropriate, but is preferably a shape that does not look strange when carried by a facility staff member, such as a bracelet type, pen type, clip type, or strap type. In this embodiment, the clip type is used.

[0021] The light source unit 8 is provided so as to be able to light or flash light of a color corresponding to the lit or flashing lighting means 4. In this embodiment, the light source unit 8 is provided so as to be able to emit light of a plurality of colors. The number and shape of the light source units 8 can be selected as appropriate.

[0022] The stationary operating means 7B is installed in various locations in the facility, for example, indoors in classrooms, offices, staff rooms, etc., or outdoors in the playground, etc., and in this embodiment has a plurality of push-button-shaped operating units 10. Each operating unit 10 can be color-coded according to the emergency situation it corresponds to.

[0023] In this embodiment, the display means 2 installed at various locations in the facility are configured to be wirelessly linked, and the display means 2 and the notification means 3 are configured to directly communicate wirelessly. That is, when the portable operation means 7A and / or the stationary operation means 7B is operated, the display means 2 near the operation means 7 receives information about an emergency corresponding to the operation means 7, and the information is then wirelessly transmitted from the display means 2 to the other display means 2. In this manner, there is no need to perform wiring work or the like when installing the emergency communication means 1, making it possible to reduce the cost and construction time for installation.

[0024] When the operation means 7 is operated, the emergency communication means 1 lights or flashes a light of a color corresponding to the emergency situation corresponding to the operated operation means 7, and sounds an alarm sound corresponding to the emergency situation corresponding to the operated operation means 7. For example, in Fig. 1, when the portable operation means 7A is operated, the information is sent to the nearby display means 2, and the information is sent from the display means 2 to another display means 2, and the lighting unit 6B corresponding to the intrusion, which is the emergency situation corresponding to the portable operation means 7A, lights up, and the alarm sound M is sounded by the audio means 5. Also, the light source unit 8 of the portable operation means 7A lights up in the color of the lighting unit 6B.

[0025] Therefore, in a facility where the emergency communication means 1 is installed, there is no need to make an emergency announcement when an emergency occurs, and since the light or sound notification only needs to be understandable to the staff in the facility, there is no need for warning lights or sirens, which are generally used to indicate an emergency. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to provide an emergency communication means that is less likely to irritate infants and intruders.

[0026] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the invention.

[0027] (1) The emergency communication means 1 may be provided with an email sending function. In the event of an emergency, it is assumed that the facility staff will be busy dealing with the emergency and will not have time to contact the outside world. When the operation means 7 is operated, it may be possible to notify the guardians of infants and young children in the facility, or the police, fire department, etc., by email that an emergency has occurred at the facility.

[0028] (2) In the above embodiment, a communication network is constructed by wirelessly linking the display means 2, but an existing communication infrastructure (e.g., Wi-Fi) in the facility may be used. In this case, a central processing unit (not shown) such as a server may be provided, and the display means 2 and the notification means 3 may communicate indirectly via the central processing unit. Furthermore, the communication means between the display means 2 and the notification means 3 may be wired.

[0029] (3) The portable operating means 7A may be linked to a communication terminal such as a smartphone. In this way, for example, in a childcare facility, if a suspicious person is discovered while an infant is being taken outside the facility, it becomes possible to share information with other staff members.

[0030] (4) The facility in which the emergency communication means 1 is installed is not limited to a facility where infants and young children are present, but may be other facilities such as a nursing home. [Explanation of symbols]
