Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a security system having a security device that monitors intrusions into a monitored area of ​​a building or the like using multiple security modes and a mobile terminal that can remotely switch between security modes by communicating with the security device, as well as to a mobile terminal used in the system and a program for the mobile terminal. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, systems have been known that allow a user to remotely switch security modes using a mobile terminal from a location away from a security target such as a home.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 below discloses that a security application installed on a mobile device such as a smartphone can be used to remotely set / cancel a security device from the mobile device, and that the mode switching results from the security device can be obtained and displayed on the mobile device. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-137673 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in the prior art such as Patent Document 1, when a user needs to switch security modes, for example, when returning home or going out, the user must operate the mobile terminal to launch a security application, display an operation screen for mode switching, and select the security mode to switch to on the operation screen, which is a cumbersome operation. Such an operation can be particularly cumbersome for the user when, for example, the user's hands are full with luggage or the mobile terminal is stored in a bag.

[0006] In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a security system, a mobile terminal, and a program that can improve user convenience during mode switching operations. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] To achieve the above object, one aspect of the present invention provides a security system comprising a security device that monitors intrusions into a monitored area using multiple security modes and a portable terminal that can remotely switch between the security modes through communication with the security device, the security system comprising a storage means, a determination means, a control means, and a communication means. The storage means stores mode identification information indicating the security mode set for the monitored area. The determination means determines whether the portable terminal has moved from within the monitored area to outside the monitored area, or whether the portable terminal has entered a first area outside the monitored area that is within a predetermined distance range near the monitored area from a second area outside the predetermined distance range. The control means displays a switching screen on the portable terminal that allows the user to input the security mode switching operation, depending on the result of the determination and the set security mode. The communication means transmits a security mode switching request when the switching operation is input on the switching screen.

[0008] With this configuration, the security system can improve user convenience when switching modes by displaying a switching screen that allows the security mode to be switched in one step without user operation when switching security modes. Here, the first area is an area where the user is likely to be located just before moving into the monitored area, such as an area within a few meters around a house.

[0009] The portable terminal may include a first portable terminal carried by a user, and a second portable terminal that is a wearable terminal paired with the first portable terminal and worn by the user. In this case, the first mobile terminal may have the determination means, an acquisition means for acquiring information indicating the security mode set in the monitored area, the communication means, and the control means, and the control means may send a screen control instruction to the second mobile terminal to display the switching screen depending on the result of the determination and the set security mode. In this case, the second portable terminal may also have a detection means for detecting the wearing state of the second portable terminal, a release means for releasing the operation restriction on the second portable terminal if the wearing state continues, a display means for displaying the switching screen based on the screen control instruction, and a switch request means for sending a request to switch the security mode to the security device via the communication means of the first portable terminal when a switching operation is input on the switching screen.

[0010] This allows the user to switch between the two mobile devices on the wearable device even when the user cannot immediately operate the first mobile device, such as when the first mobile device is stored in a bag, thereby further improving user convenience. Here, the first mobile device is, for example, a smartphone, and the second mobile device is, for example, a wearable device (such as a smart watch, smart band, smart ring, or smart glasses). The control unit may not only display the switching screen but also vibrate the second mobile device. The monitored area is typically a building such as a house or office, or a room within the building, but may also be a partitioned outdoor space.

[0011] When a predetermined authentication operation is performed by the user while the second portable terminal is attached to the user, the release means may release the operation restriction until the attached state is terminated.

[0012] Here, the specified authentication operation includes, for example, entering a specified passcode or password, screen operations such as swiping, or operations such as turning your face toward the screen to perform facial authentication, or tapping the fingerprint sensor to perform fingerprint authentication, but is not limited to these.

[0013] When the determination means determines that the first mobile terminal has moved from within the monitoring area to outside the monitoring area and the set security mode is security release mode, the control means may cause the second mobile terminal to display the switching screen on which a switching operation from the security release mode to the security set mode can be input.

[0014] Here, movement outside the monitored area may be determined, for example, by detecting that the GPS positioning position of the first mobile terminal has moved outside a predetermined determination area, or by detecting that the received signal strength has fallen below a predetermined value due to the communication status between the first mobile terminal and a communication terminal such as a beacon terminal installed in the monitored area.

[0015] The control means may determine whether the user is the last person to exit the monitored area based on a predetermined operation by the user or location information of other users linked to the user, and if the user is the last person to exit and the set security mode is the security release mode, may display the switching screen on which a switching operation to the security set mode can be input.

[0016] This prevents the security system from mistakenly prompting the user to switch to security set mode when the user is not the last person to leave (when other users remain in the monitored area), and prevents the system from switching to security set mode and causing an abnormality.

[0017] The predetermined operation may be an operation of holding the second portable terminal over a communication device installed near an exit of the surveillance area and capable of short-range communication with the second portable terminal. In this case, the control means may determine that the user is the last person to leave when short-range communication with the communication device is established by the operation.

[0018] This allows the security system to easily determine who was the last person to leave. Here, if the first mobile terminal determines that the user was the last person to leave, it may register information (such as a flag) indicating this, and if it is not determined that the user has moved out of the monitored area within a predetermined time (for example, five minutes), it may delete the registered information.

[0019] If the control means determines that the user is the last person to exit, it may determine whether the security mode can be switched to the security set mode based on information received from a sensor within the monitored area, and if it determines that switching is not possible, it may output information to that effect to the second portable terminal.

[0020] This prevents the security system from being forced to return to the monitored area after leaving the area due to the inability to switch to the security set mode. Here, the control means may determine that switching to the security set mode is not possible when, for example, a window opening detection sensor in the monitored area detects that a window is open. Information that switching is not possible may be displayed on the screen of the second mobile terminal, or may be output as sound from the speaker of the second mobile terminal.

[0021] When the control means determines that the first mobile terminal has entered the first area from the second area and the set security mode is a security set mode, it may display the switching screen on which a switching operation can be input from the security set mode to the security release mode.

[0022] Here, movement from a second area outside the monitored area to the first area may be determined, for example, by detecting that the GPS-measured position of the first mobile terminal has moved into a predetermined determination area, or by detecting that the received signal strength has reached a predetermined value or above due to the communication status between the first mobile terminal and a communication terminal such as a beacon terminal installed in the monitored area.

[0023] The storage means may store user identification information for identifying a user who performed an operation to switch the security mode in association with the mode identification information each time the security mode is switched. In this case, when the set security mode is a security release mode, the control means may cause the second portable terminal to output, based on the user identification information corresponding to the mode identification information indicating the security release mode, information that the currently set security mode is the security release mode and information about the user who requested switching to the security release mode.

[0024] This allows the security system to let the user know that there is no need to switch modes and to know who is in the monitored area. The above information may be displayed on the screen of the second mobile terminal or output as sound from the speaker of the second mobile terminal.

[0025] The control means may send the switching request when the switching operation is input on the switching screen and when it determines that the first mobile terminal has moved within a predetermined communication range from the security device.

[0026] This allows the security system to prevent the security from being disabled before the user approaches the door to the monitored area, thereby ensuring better security.

[0027] When the control means determines that the first mobile terminal has moved into the monitored area, it may cause the second mobile terminal to output usage evaluation information including an evaluation of the usage status of the security device at least from the time the user leaves the monitored area until the time they return to the monitored area.

[0028] This allows the security system to give the user a sense of use of the security system. For example, if the user has set the security system when going out this time, the control means may notify the user that "the usage level is 100 points," or may accumulate information on whether the security system has been set when going out over a certain period of time, and if there is an increasing tendency for the user to forget to set the security system, may notify the user of a message encouraging the user to use the security system. The usage level evaluation information may be displayed on the screen of the second mobile terminal, or may be output as audio from the speaker of the second mobile terminal.

[0029] According to another aspect of the present invention, a mobile terminal is provided that can remotely switch between security modes through communication with a security device that monitors intrusions into a monitored area using multiple security modes. The mobile terminal includes a storage device, a determination device, a display control device, and a transmission device. The storage device stores mode identification information indicating the security mode set for the monitored area. The determination device determines whether the mobile terminal has moved from within the monitored area to outside the monitored area, or whether the mobile terminal has entered a first area within a predetermined distance range near the monitored area from a second area outside the predetermined distance range. The display control device displays a switching screen on which the security mode switching operation can be input, depending on the result of the determination and the set security mode. The communication device transmits a security mode switching request when the switching operation is input on the switching screen.

[0030] A program according to another aspect of the present invention is a program for a mobile terminal that can remotely switch between security modes by communicating with a security device that monitors intrusions into a monitored area using a plurality of security modes. storing mode identification information indicating the security mode set in the surveillance area; determining whether the mobile terminal has moved from within the monitoring area to outside the monitoring area, or whether the mobile terminal has entered a first area outside the monitoring area within a predetermined distance range near the monitoring area from a second area outside the predetermined distance range; displaying, on an external terminal, a switching screen on which the switching operation of the security mode can be input according to the result of the determination and the set security mode; and a step of transmitting a request to switch the security mode when the switching operation is input on the switching screen. [Effects of the Invention]

[0031] As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the convenience for the user when performing a mode switching operation, but this effect does not limit the present invention. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0033] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0034] [System Configuration] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a security system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0035] As shown in the figure, the security system includes a security device 100, a smartphone 200, a wearable device 300, and a center server 400 at a security center.

[0036] The security device 100 is installed in a surveillance area (target of security), such as a home or business, monitors the surveillance area for abnormalities, and reports any detected abnormalities to a security center. As will be described in detail later, the security device 100 guards the surveillance area using multiple security modes (e.g., out-of-home security mode, at-home security mode, partial set mode, at-home mode, etc.).

[0037] Smartphone 200 is a terminal carried by a resident of a house in the above-mentioned monitoring area, and is, for example, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet PC (Personal Computer), or other portable computer, and is capable of connecting to a mobile network such as LTE (Long Term Evolution), 3G, Wi-Fi, etc. If multiple users reside or are occupying a building to be guarded, there may be multiple smartphones 200 for each security target.

[0038] The smartphone 200 can switch the security mode by communicating with the security device 100. As shown in the figure, the smartphone 200 may be located inside a house that is within a monitored area, or may be located outside the monitored area, such as in an office where the user works.

[0039] When the smartphone 200 is located within a monitored area, it can communicate with the security device 100 via the mobile network described above as well as short-range wireless communication such as BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) or Wi-Fi. The security mode switching operation is input on an application (hereinafter referred to as the "security application") that is installed on the smartphone 200 and provides security mode information and other security information.

[0040] The wearable terminal 300 is a device that can be worn on a part of the body of the user of the smartphone 200, such as a smart watch, a wristband, a smart ring (with a projection function), smart glasses, etc. The wearable terminal 300 is mainly used by the user to input the switching operation of the security mode.

[0041] The smartphone 200 is paired with the wearable terminal 300, and after determining various conditions, notifies the wearable terminal 300 and controls the screen (such as displaying a screen on which the security mode switching operation can be input).

[0042] When the wearable terminal 300 detects that the wearable terminal 300 has been attached to or detached from the user, the wearable terminal 300 enters a locked state (a state in which operations cannot be accepted), and the user can operate the wearable terminal 300 by performing a predetermined unlocking operation. The predetermined unlocking operation is, for example, an operation of inputting a predetermined passcode or password, a screen operation such as swiping, an operation of inputting a predetermined gesture, a face authentication operation of facing the screen, a fingerprint authentication operation of tapping the fingerprint sensor, or an unlocking operation on the smartphone 200 to be paired.

[0043] Furthermore, when the wearable terminal 300 is unlocked while worn by the user, the user's identity is considered to have been authenticated and the wearable terminal 300 can be operated without the need for another unlocking operation as long as the user continues to wear the wearable terminal 300. The wearing state can be determined, for example, by whether or not a pulse is detected by a pulse sensor mounted on the wearable terminal 300.

[0044] Therefore, when a screen (hereinafter also simply referred to as a switching screen) on which a security mode switching operation can be input is displayed on the wearable terminal 300 by the smartphone 200, the user can switch the security mode after identity verification (security is also guaranteed) without the need to unlock the wearable terminal 300. Furthermore, even when the smartphone 200 is in a locked state, the switching operation can be performed using the wearable terminal 300 without the need to unlock the smartphone.

[0045] The security device 100 also has an operation unit (such as an operation panel) installed on a wall or the like inside the house, which is the monitored area, and when the user is inside the house, the user can also use the operation unit to switch the security mode. Depending on the object to be operated by the operation unit, an authentication process may be required, for example, by inserting an authentication card assigned to each user into the operation unit. In this embodiment, the operation unit may also be referred to as a "main unit operation unit" in contrast to the smartphone 200, which can be remotely controlled.

[0046] The center server 400 is a server installed in a security center operated by a security company, and is capable of communicating with the security device 100 and the smartphone 200 via the Internet. A controller is stationed at the security center, and when an abnormality report is received from the security device 100, the controller takes necessary measures such as dispatching a security guard to the object being guarded by the security device 100.

[0047] The center server 400 also stores information such as the location of the building that is the monitored area, and information about users of the security contract who live or reside in the building. For example, the center server 400 pairs the smartphone 200 of each user who lives or resides in the building that is the monitored area with the security device 100, and stores information that groups them by monitored area for authentication. The center server 400 also stores information about the authentication card that has been paired and grouped in the same way as the smartphone 200.

[0048] The security mode switching is performed according to the flow shown in (1) to (8) in the figure. That is, (1) the smartphone 200 requests the center server 400 to switch the security mode via the mobile network based on a security mode switching operation by the wearable terminal 300, (2) the center server 400 authenticates the smartphone 200 (the group to which the smartphone 200 belongs), and if the authentication is successful, transfers the security mode switching request to the security device 100, (3) requesting the security device 100 to switch the security mode. Then, (4) the security device 100 switches the security mode in response to the security mode switching request, and (5) notifies the center server 400 of the completion of the security mode switching.

[0049] Then, (6) the center server 400 receives the notification and requests an API for push notifications on the Internet (for example, Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) or Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)) to send a push notification of the completion of the mode switch. (7) Upon receiving the request, the API sends a push notification of the completion of the mode switch to the smartphone 200. (8) The smartphone 200 receives the push notification and displays the completion of the mode switch on the wearable terminal 300.

[0050] As explained above, in the security mode switching process, the center server 400 only mediates (and authenticates) the communication between the security device 100 and the smartphone 200. Therefore, in this embodiment, the communication actually mediated by the center server 400 may be described as communication between the security device 100 and the smartphone 200, with the mediation process omitted.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the user terminal 200 detects that the user has left / returned home, it is capable of performing screen control to display a switching screen on the paired wearable terminal 300 on which the security mode switching operation can be input, depending on the security mode that has been set.

[0052] [Security device configuration] 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the security device 100. As shown in the figure, the security device 100 is made up of a main device 101, various sensors 10 and 12, and the like.

[0053] The intrusion monitoring sensors 10 are sensors for detecting intruders, such as sensors that detect the opening and closing of doors and windows, sensors that detect heat emitted by the human body as a heat source, and sensors that detect when infrared rays are blocked by the human body. These intrusion monitoring sensors are broadly divided into those installed in the perimeter area of ​​a building, which is the monitored area, and those installed in other areas. Furthermore, the intrusion monitoring sensors installed in the perimeter area of ​​a building are further divided into those installed in entrance and exit areas and those installed in other areas. The fire sensor 12 is a sensor that detects heat and smoke associated with a fire.

[0054] The main unit 101 is composed of a control unit 110, a notification unit 130, a notification unit 140, a display unit 150, an operation unit 160, and a communication interface (I / F) 170.

[0055] If an abnormality occurs, the reporting unit 130 reports it to the security center via a communication line. The alarm unit 140 generates various alarm sounds. The display unit 150 is composed of an LED (Light Emitting Diode), a liquid crystal display, etc., and displays various information on and off the main device.

[0056] The communication I / F 170 is an interface for wired or wireless communication with various sensors, etc. The communication I / F 170 also functions as an interface for wireless communication with the smartphone 200, which serves as a remote control unit for switching the security mode.

[0057] The operation unit 160 is configured with, for example, operation buttons, a touch panel, etc., and accepts user operations such as switching the security mode, etc. When the operation unit 160 is a touch panel, the operation unit 160 can be integrated with the display unit 150.

[0058] The operation unit 160 also has buttons that can be used for purposes other than switching between security modes, such as an emergency call button that can be operated when the user is attacked by an intruder or feels something is wrong with their body, and a cancel operation button that can be used to cancel an abnormality if the user accidentally causes one.

[0059] The control unit 110 is composed of a processor, memory, etc., and controls the operation of the security device. Functionally, it implements a mode storage means 112, a monitoring and control information storage means 114, an intrusion monitoring sensor detection processing means 116, a mode control means 118, etc. The mode storage means 112 stores each security mode along with its identification information, and stores information about the currently set security mode, for example, as mode identification information. The monitoring and control information storage means 114 stores the installation area and address codes of various sensors, and stores the correspondence between security modes and various sensors in a monitoring state. When an intrusion monitoring sensor detects an intrusion, the intrusion monitoring sensor detection processing means 116 performs processes such as determining an abnormality and outputting an abnormality signal or determining and outputting an alarm sound based on the current security mode stored in the mode storage means 112 and the content stored in the monitoring and control information storage means 114. The mode control means 118 sets (switches) the security mode based on a mode switching operation by the user via the operation unit 160 and the smartphone 200. When the security mode is changed, the mode control means 118 stores the switched-to security mode in the mode storage means 112 as the current security mode.

[0060] Although not shown, the main device 101 also stores group setting information regarding multiple smartphones 200 and the above-mentioned authentication cards that are paired with the security device 100 and grouped, as well as the identification information of each of their users (user name, user ID, etc.).

[0061] [Security mode type] Here, we will explain the types of security modes that the security device 100 has. In this embodiment, the security device 100 has the following security modes: away security mode (unmanned monitoring mode), at-home security mode (manned monitoring mode), partial set mode, and alert cancellation (at-home) mode.

[0062] The monitoring and emergency notification by the fire sensor 12 are performed regardless of the security mode. Any abnormality caused by these is reported by a different alarm sound. On the other hand, the monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 differs depending on the security mode.

[0063] The leaving security mode is a mode that is set when all users of the building to be guarded leave the building (go out). In this mode, monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 is performed by all the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 installed in the building to be guarded.

[0064] The home security mode is used when the user is in a security area and wants to monitor for intrusions from outside, and is particularly used when the user is sleeping. In this mode, monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 is performed only by the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 installed around the building perimeter, such as windows, front doors, and gardens.

[0065] The partial set mode is a mode used when monitoring only a portion of a security target, for example, when the user is present only on the first floor of a building that is the monitoring area and the second floor needs to be monitored. In this mode, monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 is performed only by the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 that are present in the portion of the security target. The partial set mode can exist as one form of the in-home security mode.

[0066] The disarm mode is a mode used when the user is at home with the windows open, etc. In this mode, monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 is not performed.

[0067] [Mobile device configuration] 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the smartphone 200. As shown in the diagram, the smartphone 200 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 21, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 22, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 23, an input / output interface 25, and a bus 24 connecting these elements to one another.

[0068] The CPU 21 accesses the RAM 23 and other memory as needed, and performs various arithmetic processing while comprehensively controlling each block of the smartphone 200. The ROM 22 is a non-volatile memory that permanently stores firmware such as the OS, programs, and various parameters to be executed by the CPU 21. The RAM 23 is used as a working area for the CPU 21, and temporarily stores the OS, various applications currently being executed, and various data currently being processed.

[0069] The input / output interface 25 is connected to a display unit 26, an operation reception unit 27, a storage unit 28, a communication unit 29, and the like.

[0070] The display unit 26 is a display device that uses, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an OLED (Organic ElectroLuminescence Display), a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), or the like.

[0071] The operation reception unit 27 is, for example, a touch panel, a button, a key, or another input device. When the operation reception unit 27 is a touch panel, the touch panel can be integrated with the display unit 26.

[0072] The storage unit 28 is, for example, a flash memory (SSD; Solid State Drive) or other solid-state memory, or a non-volatile memory such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The storage unit 28 stores the OS, various applications, and various data.

[0073] In particular, in this embodiment, storage unit 28 stores the security application and other programs that allow smartphone 200 to execute security mode switching processing in conjunction with wearable terminal 300 and security device 100. The security application also stores information about the security mode currently set in security device 100, data (text information and image information) required to display the security mode switching screen and other screens to be displayed on wearable terminal 300, setting information for determining whether the switching operation is possible depending on the location of smartphone 200, and location information of the home (for example, latitude and longitude information indicating the center position of the home) for determining whether smartphone 200 is located inside or outside the monitored area.

[0074] The CPU 21 functions as a location acquisition means for acquiring the location of the smartphone 200, a communication means for transmitting a mode switching request signal to the security device 100 in response to the switching operation, and a switching determination means for determining whether or not the switching operation is possible in response to the location of the smartphone 200.

[0075] The communication unit 29 is a module for wireless communication such as the LTE, BLE, or Wi-Fi, and is responsible for communication processing between the security device 100 and the center server 400 via a mobile network, a short-range wireless communication network, and the Internet. Among the communication unit 29, the wireless communication module such as BLE or Wi-Fi is responsible for communication between the smartphone 200 and the wearable terminal 300.

[0076] Communication unit 29 also functions as the location acquisition means for acquiring location information of smartphone 200. To acquire the location information, a positioning method using, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) or a mobile phone base station is used. Alternatively, for example, using the short-range wireless communication or specified low-power wireless communication with security device 100 in the monitored area (inside the residence), it may be determined that smartphone 200 is in the monitored area if it is within the communication range of security device 100, and that smartphone 200 is outside the monitored area if it is outside the communication range. Furthermore, multiple positioning means such as GPS and short-range wireless communication may be combined as necessary to detect the location of smartphone 200 more accurately.

[0077] Although not shown, the basic hardware configuration of the wearable terminal 300 is similar to that of the smartphone 200.

[0078] [Mode switching operation permission setting] 4 is a table conceptually showing settings of whether or not the smartphone 200 can be switched to a plurality of security modes according to the location of the smartphone 200. In the following, the partial set mode among the above-mentioned security modes will be described as being included in the at-home security mode.

[0079] The arrows at the top of the figure indicate the security mode transitions (switchable routes) that are permitted by the security device 100, i.e., whether switching operations are possible on the main body operation unit. In the figure, the direction indicated by the arrow indicates that mode switching is possible in that direction for the combination of the source (current) security mode and the destination security mode.

[0080] As shown by these arrows, the security device 100 can switch between the alert release mode and the home alert mode, and between the alert release mode and the away alert mode, regardless of whether the source mode (current security mode) is the switch-to mode or the destination mode. However, between the home alert mode and the away alert mode, switching from the home alert mode to the away alert mode (i.e., when the source mode (current mode) is the home alert mode and the destination mode is the away alert mode) is possible, but the reverse switching from the away alert mode to the home alert mode (i.e., when the source mode is the away alert mode and the destination mode is the home alert mode) is not possible.

[0081] Furthermore, in this embodiment, assuming the switchable route allowed by the security device 100 described above, whether or not to switch to a security mode as a destination is determined depending on the location of the smartphone 200 on which the switching operation is performed. In FIG. 4, the security modes shown in each column indicate the security mode as a destination that is the target of the mode switching operation, and each row indicates the location of the smartphone 200 on which the switching operation is performed, with "◯" indicating that the mode switching operation to the security mode as a destination is possible (permitted) and "×" indicating that the mode switching operation is not possible (rejected). In this embodiment, the location of the smartphone 200 is classified as inside the home of the user who owns the smartphone 200 (within the monitored area) or outside the home (outside the monitored area), and the home includes at least the house and may include the entire residential property including the garden.

[0082] As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, when the smartphone 200 is located within the monitored area (inside the house), switching operations to either security mode are permitted. On the other hand, when the smartphone 200 is located outside the monitored area (outside the house), switching operations to the alert cancellation mode and the away-from-home security mode are permitted, but switching operations to the at-home security mode are rejected. This is because the at-home security mode is a mode (manned monitoring) that restricts intrusion from outside the monitored area while the user is at home, and it is not conceivable that the user would switch to this mode while away from home.

[0083] This prevents a user from accidentally switching to home alert mode from outside the monitored area, which can cause false alarms to be generated by other users, such as the user's family members, who are present in the house, or can prevent insufficient security when monitoring should be performed in away alert mode.

[0084] The security application stores, for example, in the memory unit 28, switchable route setting information between security modes relating to the combination of source and destination corresponding to the same figure, and setting information on whether or not to switch to a security mode depending on the location of the smartphone 200 (inside / outside the monitored area), and when a mode switching operation is performed by the user, it refers to this setting information to determine whether or not the mode switching operation is possible.

[0085] The state of the security mode currently set in the monitored area is notified from security device 100 to a security application on smartphone 200 each time the security mode is switched in security device 100, and is stored by the security application as the latest security mode state. Alternatively, the security mode state may be stored in center server 400, and the security application may obtain it from center server 400 when it detects that the user has left or returned home. Furthermore, the security mode information may be stored in association with information about the operator who switched the security mode.

[0086] [Security system in operation] Next, the operation of the security system configured as described above will be described. The operation is performed by the cooperation of hardware such as CPU 21 and communication unit 29 of smartphone 200 and software (security application) stored in storage unit 28. For convenience, in the following description, the security application or CPU 21 of smartphone 200 will be the subject of operation.

[0087] (Operation when going out) First, the operation when the user goes out from the monitored area will be described. When the security mode is set to the alert cancellation mode when the smartphone 200 detects that the user has gone out, the smartphone 200 controls the wearable device 300 to display a switching screen that allows the user to switch to the out-of-home alert mode.

[0088] Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of security mode switching processing when the user goes out by the smartphone 200. Fig. 6 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of security mode switching processing when the user goes out by the security system.

[0089] As a premise of this process, a tag (RF tag) that can be read by the wearable device 300 is installed near the last door (front door) of the monitored area (residence), and a user who determines that they are the last person to leave holds the wearable device 300 over the tag to read predetermined identification information from the tag, allowing the smartphone 200 to detect that the last person to leave is about to go out. Instead of a tag, a medium on which a readable code such as a two-dimensional code is printed may be installed, or a reader device may be installed to read predetermined identification information from the wearable device 300 held over the reader device, and the smartphone 200 may receive the information to detect that the last person to leave is about to go out. In this way, when an operation of holding the wearable device 300 over a communication device capable of short-range communication with the wearable device 300 is performed, the operator is determined to be the last person to leave.

[0090] This is because if there are multiple residents, such as family members, in the house that is the monitored area, there may be family members in the house when you go out, and if you remotely set the security in this situation, it will result in an abnormality (false alarm), so it is necessary to avoid prompting the user to set the security when there is someone in the room. Note that if there is only one resident in the house, the process of reading the tag and determining the last person to leave may be omitted.

[0091] As shown in FIG. 5, first, the CPU 21 of the smartphone 200 determines whether the last person to leave has performed a tag reading operation (step 51).

[0092] In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the CPU 21 can determine whether the wearable terminal 300 has read predetermined identification information from the tag (step 71) and transmitted the read result to the smartphone 200 (step 72), thereby determining whether the tag has been read (step 73).

[0093] If it is determined that the tag has been read (Yes), the CPU 21 determines whether or not it is possible to set security (switch to outside security mode) (step 52).

[0094] 6, the CPU 21 inquires of the security device 100 whether or not the security mode can be set (step 74), and the security device 100 determines whether or not the security mode can be set based on the detection status of the security sensors in the monitored area (step 75), and transmits the result to the smartphone 200 (step 76). For example, the security device 100 determines that the security mode cannot be set if the window opening detection sensor detects that a window is open. The CPU 21 determines whether or not it is possible to switch to the away security mode based on the determination result received from the security device 100 (step 76).

[0095] If it is determined that security arming is not possible (step 52 in FIG. 5, No in step 77 in FIG. 6), CPU 21 notifies the wearable terminal 300 of this fact (step 53 in FIG. 5, step 78 in FIG. 6). Based on this notification, wearable terminal 300 outputs a message that security arming is not possible on the screen or by voice from the speaker (step 79 in FIG. 6). This prevents a situation in which the user realizes that security arming is not possible after leaving the house and has to go out of their way to return inside the house. Note that the security arming possibility determination process (step 52) and notification process (step 53) may be omitted, or may be performed after detection of leaving the house (Yes in step 54).

[0096] Next, CPU 21 determines whether or not it has detected that the user has gone out (moved outside the monitored area) (step 54 in FIG. 5). Here, whether or not the user has gone out is determined based on whether or not the position measured by the GPS of smartphone 200 has moved outside a predetermined determination area (the position range of the monitored area). Alternatively, this may be determined based on the communication status between smartphone 200 and a terminal such as a beacon terminal installed in the monitored area (the user has gone out when the received signal strength becomes equal to or lower than a predetermined value).

[0097] When detecting that the user has gone out (Yes in step 54 in FIG. 5, step 80 in FIG. 6), CPU 21 refers to the security mode currently set for the monitored area (step 55 in FIG. 5, step 81 in FIG. 6). As described above, information on the currently set security mode is notified from security device 100 to the security application every time the security mode is switched in security device 100, and is stored as the latest security mode status, and CPU 21 refers to this information.

[0098] If it is determined that the currently set security mode is the going-out security mode (Yes in step 56), the CPU 21 notifies the wearable terminal 300 that security has been set (step 57 in FIG. 5, steps 82 and 83 in FIG. 6). Upon receiving the notification, the wearable terminal 300 displays the information that security has been set on the screen or outputs it by voice (step 84 in FIG. 6).

[0099] On the other hand, if it is determined that the currently set security mode is the alert disengagement mode (No in step 56), the CPU 21 controls the wearable terminal 300 to display a switching screen that allows switching to the away security mode (step 58 in FIG. 5, step 84 in FIG. 6). At this time, the CPU 21 may control the wearable terminal 300 to vibrate together with displaying the switching screen.

[0100] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a screen for switching to the out-of-home alert mode, which is displayed on the wearable terminal 300 under the control of the smartphone 200. As shown in FIG.

[0101] As shown in the same figure, the switching screen 30 to the away-from-home alert mode has text information prompting the user to set security mode (away-from-home alert mode), as well as a switching button 31 for inputting an instruction to switch to the away-from-home alert mode and a cancel button 32 for canceling the switch.

[0102] Next, the CPU 21 determines whether a switching operation to the out-of-home alert mode has been input by, for example, tapping the switching button 31 on the switching screen 30 (step 59 in FIG. 5). The CPU 21 determines that a switching operation has been input by receiving a switching request to the out-of-home alert mode based on the switching operation from the wearable terminal 300 (steps 85 and 86 in FIG. 6). Note that instead of tapping the switching button 31, a configuration may be adopted in which a user's voice, such as "set," is recognized and the switching operation is accepted.

[0103] If it is determined that an operation to switch to the away-from-home alert mode has been input (Yes in step 59), the CPU 21 transmits a signal to request switching to the away-from-home alert mode to the security device 100 (step 60 in FIG. 5, step 87 in FIG. 6).

[0104] Upon receiving the switching request, the security device 100 switches the security mode from the alert release mode to the away alert mode using the mode control means 118 (step 88 in Figure 6), and sends a switching completion notification indicating that the switching has been completed to the smartphone 200 (step 89 in Figure 6).

[0105] Then, when the CPU 21 receives the switching completion notification, it notifies the wearable terminal 300 to that effect, and causes the wearable terminal 300 to display the notification on the screen or output it by voice (step 61 in FIG. 5, step 90 in FIG. 6).

[0106] (Operation when returning home) Next, an operation when the user returns to the monitored area (returns home) will be described. When the user returns home, if the security mode is set to the out-of-home security mode when the smartphone 200 detects that the user has returned home, the smartphone 200 controls the wearable terminal 300 to display a switching screen on which the user can switch to the security release mode. Fig. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of the security mode switching process by the smartphone 200 when the user returns home. Fig. 9 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of the security mode switching process by the security system when the user returns home.

[0107] As shown in both figures, CPU 21 first determines whether the user's return home has been detected (step 91 in FIG. 8). Here, "returning home" does not refer to entering a monitored area such as a house, but rather to approaching the monitored area, and more specifically, refers to entering an area (first area) outside the monitored area within a predetermined distance range (e.g., several meters) near the monitored area from an area (second area) outside the predetermined distance range. This is because, when going out, it is assumed that the user will perform the security arming operation after (immediately after) leaving the house, whereas when returning home, it is assumed that the user will perform the security disarming operation before entering the house.

[0108] Therefore, CPU 21 determines whether the user has returned home based on whether the position measured by GPS of smartphone 200 has moved from the second area into the first area (the area adjacent to the monitored area). Alternatively, the determination may be made based on the communication status between smartphone 200 and a terminal such as a beacon terminal installed in the vicinity of the monitored area (the first area) (the user has returned home when the received signal strength is equal to or greater than a predetermined value).

[0109] When the return of the user is detected (Yes in step 91 in FIG. 8, step 101 in FIG. 9), the CPU 21 refers to the security mode currently set in the monitored area (step 92 in FIG. 8, step 102 in FIG. 9).

[0110] If it is determined that the currently set security mode is the security disengagement mode (Yes in step 93), the CPU 21 notifies the wearable terminal 300 of information that security has been disengaged (step 94 in FIG. 8, steps 103 and 104 in FIG. 9). Upon receiving the notification, the wearable terminal 300 displays the information that security has been disengaged on the screen or outputs it by voice (step 105 in FIG. 9).

[0111] At this time, CPU 21 may also notify the user of the deactivator, if any. In this case, smartphone 200 receives user identification information (such as a user ID and a user name) that identifies the user who performed the mode switching operation among multiple users using the monitored area from security device 100 each time the security mode is switched, stores the information in association with the mode identification information, and displays or outputs audio on wearable terminal 300 the information of the deactivator together with information that deactivation has been completed, based on the user identification information stored in association with the mode identification information at the time of switching to the immediately preceding security release mode. This allows the user to know that there is no need to switch the security mode when returning home, and to know who is home.

[0112] Furthermore, if there is no one else who has deactivated the alarm (i.e., the last person to leave did not set the out-of-home alert mode when they left in the first place), the CPU 21 may display or output information on the wearable terminal 300 indicating that the deactivation was due to forgetting to set the alarm.

[0113] On the other hand, if it is determined that the currently set security mode is the away security mode (No in step 93), the CPU 21 controls the wearable terminal 300 to display a switching screen that allows the user to switch to the alert cancellation mode (step 95 in FIG. 8, step 105 in FIG. 9). At this time, the CPU 21 may control the wearable terminal 300 to vibrate together with displaying the switching screen.

[0114] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a screen for switching to the alert release mode, which is displayed on the wearable terminal 300 under the control of the smartphone 200. In FIG.

[0115] As shown in the same figure, the switching screen 33 to the alert release mode has text information prompting the user to cancel the security mode (set the alert release mode), as well as a switching button 34 for inputting an instruction to switch to the alert release mode and a cancel button 35 for canceling the switch.

[0116] Next, the CPU 21 determines whether or not a switching operation to the alert release mode has been input by, for example, tapping the switching button 34 on the switching screen 33 (step 96 in FIG. 8). The CPU 21 determines that a switching operation has been input by receiving a switching request to the alert release mode based on the switching operation from the wearable terminal 300 (steps 106 and 107 in FIG. 9). Note that, similar to the switching operation to the alert set mode, the switching operation may be accepted by voice recognition of a user's utterance such as "cancel."

[0117] If it is determined that an operation to switch to the alert release mode has been input (Yes in step 96), the CPU 21 transmits a signal to request switching to the alert release mode to the security device 100 (step 97 in FIG. 8, step 108 in FIG. 9).

[0118] In addition, at this time, the CPU 21 may not transmit the switching request signal simply when a switching operation is input, but may transmit the switching request signal when an open / close detection sensor of the last door (front door) in the monitored area detects that the last door is open, in addition to the input of the switching operation. This ensures security. Alternatively, the switching request signal may be set to be transmitted only via a predetermined short-range wireless standard (Bluetooth, etc.). Also, the input of the switching operation may be set to unlock the smart lock of the last door.

[0119] Upon receiving the switching request, the security device 100 switches the security mode from the away-from-home security mode to the alert cancellation mode using the mode control means 118 (step 109 in Figure 9), and sends a switching completion notification indicating the completion of the switching to the smartphone 200 (step 110 in Figure 9).

[0120] Then, when the CPU 21 receives the switching completion notification, it notifies the wearable terminal 300 to that effect and causes the wearable terminal 300 to display the notification on the screen or output it by voice (step 98 in FIG. 8, step 111 in FIG. 9).

[0121] At this time, the CPU 21 may also cause the wearable terminal 300 to output, by screen display or audio, usage evaluation information (feedback information) including an evaluation of the usage of the security device 100 at least from the time the user last left home until the time the user returned home. The feedback information may also be output by screen display or audio in the security device 100. In this case, it is preferable to output the feedback information, for example, when the opening of the last door is detected by the open / close detection sensor or when a predetermined in-house sensor detects the user after the operation to switch to the security release mode is performed.

[0122] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the display screen of this feedback information. As shown in FIG. 11, for example, if the user set the out-of-home security mode when going out this time, the feedback information 36 may display information such as "Use level: 100 points." Alternatively, the smartphone 200 may accumulate information on whether the out-of-home security mode was set when the user went out over a certain period (e.g., one week, one month, etc.). For example, if the out-of-home security mode has been set continuously (e.g., five consecutive days), the smartphone 200 may display a message such as "You have used the security setting when going out for five consecutive days." If the user frequently forgets to set the security setting, the smartphone 200 may display a message encouraging the user to use the security setting. Such feedback information can give the user a sense of use of the security system. Furthermore, the feedback information is not limited to an evaluation of the usage of the security device 100. It may also display information about the user's activity, such as calories burned and walking distance while out, or the evaluation of the usage of the security device 100 may be displayed together with the activity information.

[0123] [summary] As described above, according to this embodiment, when switching of the security mode is necessary, a switching screen that allows the security mode to be switched in one step without any user operation is displayed, thereby improving user convenience during mode switching operations. In particular, even in a situation where the user cannot immediately operate the smartphone 200, such as when the smartphone 200 is stored in a bag, by enabling the switching operation on the wearable terminal 300, user convenience can be further improved.

[0124] [Variations] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0125] In the above-described embodiment, in the process of going out, the wearable device 300 determines the last user to leave by reading a tag provided near the last door of the monitored area. Alternatively, the smartphone 200 may store the current going out status (out / at home status) of each user in the monitored area in a security application, and determine that the user is the last user to leave if the going out status of all users is "out" when going out is detected.

[0126] Furthermore, the smartphone 200 may determine whether the scheduled time to go out has arrived, instead of determining whether the user is the last person to leave in step 51 of Fig. 5 in the above-described embodiment. In this case, the user sets the scheduled time to go out in advance on the security application, and when the security application determines that the scheduled time to go out has arrived, it determines whether security can be set (step 52).

[0127] In the above-described embodiment, the processes of determining the last person to leave or the scheduled time of leaving, and determining whether security should be set may be omitted.

[0128] In the above-described embodiment, screen control such as a security mode switching screen was performed on the wearable terminal 300 on the assumption that the user would operate the wearable terminal 300. However, if it is determined that the wearable terminal 300 cannot be used due to a communication interruption between the smartphone 200 and the wearable terminal 300 or a dead battery, the smartphone 200 may display a security mode switching screen on its display unit 26.
