Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a patrol security system that allows efficient training on patrol routes and tasks at patrol points in security work.
[0002] Traditionally, when a new security guard took up a new position at an apartment building or building, he or she would act as an intern, receiving training and explanations from an experienced security guard, and then patrolling together with the experienced guard for a certain period of time before taking over security duties. [Background technology]
[0003] When a new security guard takes up a position at an apartment building or building, they undergo at least four or five days of training, known as an internship, where they patrol a course accompanied by experienced security guards. However, the security industry is also facing a serious labor shortage, making it difficult to allocate several days for an internship accompanied by experienced security guards. Another problem is that learning each patrol course is difficult because it is difficult to visualize it from a written manual such as a textbook, and it is difficult to grasp the situation on the course without actually walking around it.
[0004] Furthermore, especially in security duties that involve night shifts, it is rare for the same security guard to work consecutively, and in reality, many security guards work in shifts. Therefore, it is difficult to allocate an internship period, which is also important for interns to get used to the work site. Therefore, in order to create a more realistic feel, the inventors tried using VR (virtual reality) equipment in addition to paper manuals.
[0005] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technology that includes a head-mounted display 10 equipped with a user terminal 11 equipped with a display unit 12 for virtual reality images, and the user terminal 11 displays virtual reality images that are actually captured by moving a camera and stored in a storage unit on the display unit 12. The technology also discloses that by viewing the virtual reality images, a user is given a simulated experience of the conditions around the route, thereby providing education. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0006] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2019-174741 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0007] Therefore, the inventors have been considering using VR equipment to help security guards learn the actual situation in a realistic way, rather than just reading paper manuals. Experienced security guards regularly film their basic security patrol routes and store the footage on a management server. By outputting text and audio of explanations and important points at each patrol point in the patrol video, security guards can learn the patrol route in a realistic way.
[0008] This will significantly shorten the time required for internships, which would otherwise require multiple periods. It will also be possible to reduce the number of paper manuals. However, in this type of security work, it is important to ensure that information about security patrols and other security information is not leaked carelessly.
[0009] As a result of examining the conventional paper manuals used in security work for apartment buildings and buildings, the present invention aims to provide a patrol security manual that reduces the internship period, improves the efficiency of conventional manuals and communication notebooks, improves the efficiency and speed of security patrol work, and provides a video manual that provides enhanced security when learning in advance via a network. [Means for solving the problem]
[0010] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a patrol security manual in which information on patrol routes for security work in buildings, condominiums, facilities, etc. and virtual reality video information of said patrol routes, which have been previously filmed, are stored in a management server, and security guards can access said management server using a terminal device including a headset display to provide information on patrol security to those scheduled to be security guards, This patrol security manual is characterized in that, when a security guard is making a patrol security patrol along the specific patrol route, the security guard is made to wear the head-mounted display and watch the virtual reality video, thereby providing a simulated experience of the surrounding conditions of the patrol route and providing education.
[0011] Furthermore, as an embodiment of the patrol security manual of the present invention, authentication information of the person scheduled to be a security guard is registered in a management server, and when the person scheduled to be a security guard accesses the management server and views the patrol security manual, the authentication method used is total authentication.
[0012] Specifically, the above-mentioned authentication is preferably iris authentication, which ensures complete security since only the person wearing the headset display can view the image. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0014] 1 to 10. The present invention provides a patrol security manual 1 in which information regarding patrol routes for security work in buildings, condominiums, facilities, etc., and virtual reality video information 7 in which the patrol routes are previously filmed are stored in a management server 8, and security guards access the management server 8 using terminal devices 21 including head-mounted displays to provide information regarding patrol security to prospective security personnel. The manual is characterized in that, when having security guards patrol along the specific patrol route, the security guards wear the head-mounted displays and view the virtual reality video, thereby providing a simulated experience of the surrounding conditions of the patrol route and providing education.
[0015] Furthermore, authentication information for the prospective security guards is registered in the management server 8, and when the prospective security guards access the management server 8 to view the patrol security manual, the authentication means used is to allow the connection by comparing the information stored in the security guard management file 9 stored in advance in the management server 8 with the information stored in the management server 8. By using such authentication, it is possible to prevent anyone from viewing the manual if the password or the like is leaked.
[0016] The above-mentioned total body authentication can be performed by fingerprints, irises, etc., but iris authentication is more reliable. By wearing the head mount display 21, it is possible to easily obtain the iris information of the wearer.
[0017] In the present invention, when managing security operations for buildings, apartment complexes, and other facilities, a security patrol manual 1 stores a security manual file 2 for each site and a communication information file 3 for communicating information for each security guard on a system management server 8. Also stored is a video file 7 of a security patrol route, which is particularly important for security operations. This video file 7 is stored as virtual reality video information 7 captured using a 360-degree camera. These files can be played back by security guards via an appropriate internet network 10 on terminal devices 23 and 24 located at the site, or on their own mobile terminals or headset displays 21.
[0018] Security guards are required to take regular security training courses, which they attend for a set number of hours throughout the year. Furthermore, new staff members are assigned to new departments as interns, who patrol the patrol route together with experienced security guards and receive an explanation. As mentioned above, the pre-prepared virtual reality video information 7 of the patrol route can be played and viewed outside, but security measures must be taken to prevent leaks. Therefore, when a security guard who is scheduled to be assigned to a new department views the video outside, he or she must access the security guard management file 9 registered in the system management server 8 in advance and be authenticated via authentication means before viewing the video.
[0019] In terms of cost, fingerprint authentication is a cheaper option for full-body authentication, but iris authentication is more reasonable because the head-mounted display 21 is worn. Wearing the device and performing authentication prevents the video from being viewed by unintentional third parties. Furthermore, the virtual reality video information 7 can generally be viewed while at work. Furthermore, according to the present invention, when the viewer views the information outside of work, full-body authentication can almost certainly identify the viewer, thereby avoiding the risk of leaking travel information.
[0020] Furthermore, in security operations, information such as security report files for the management companies and associations of buildings and condominiums is stored in the system management server 8, and can be transferred to the terminal devices 31 and 32 of the management companies and associations via this Internet network 10.
[0021] Furthermore, access to the system management server 8 is restricted, in principle, only when a security guard is on duty according to the attendance system. When a security guard starts up terminal device 23 or 24 at the security site, the management screen shown in Figure 3 is displayed. Figure 3 shows a screen with two security guards on duty, with guard "Hatsugen Taro" already at work and the other guard not yet at work. Clocking in and out can be done using terminal devices 23 and 24 installed at the site, or on the guard's own mobile phone. Typically, each guard performs the clocking in and out process on their own mobile phone. Referring to Figure 10, the program for managing security guard attendance management is explained. When the "Attendance / Clocking Out Report" app is launched and the "Attendance / Clocking Out Report" process is performed, step 51 checks whether the current time is within the time period for clocking in or clocking out.
[0022] This functions as a safety measure to prevent a malicious third party from operating the mobile terminal device 2 to view information if it is outside of working hours. Then, within a predetermined time, a determination is made in step 52 as to whether the person is clocking in or clocking out, and if the person is clocking in, the process proceeds to step 53, where information about employees scheduled to work that day that has been stored in advance in the storage unit of the database 8 is referenced, and if the person is indeed a matching staff member (security guard) at the target work location, then in step 54, if necessary, other authentication such as whether the person has arrived at the location is successful, the clock-in process ends, and in step 55 the person is marked as working, and the mobile phone terminal device and terminal devices 23 and 24 are permitted to access the system server 8.
[0023] On the other hand, as mentioned above, there are rare cases where a security guard who is different from the security guard who is scheduled to work at the facility and whose information has been set up in advance reports to work, and in such cases, confirmation and authentication cannot be obtained in step 54, and the status is put on hold in step 56. When it is determined that a change will be made at headquarters, and it is confirmed in step 57 that the worker who was put on hold in step 56 is a legitimate worker, the system determines that the person is on duty, and the process reaches step 55, where the person is also determined to be on duty.
[0024] Since the time check has already been performed in the previous step 51, the clock-out process proceeds from step 52 to step 59, where the clock-out process is performed and the clock-in / clock-out process is completed. In this case, the terminals 23 and 24 and the mobile phone terminals cannot access the system management server 8 outside of working hours.
[0025] As shown in Figure 7, in a two-person security system, the work schedule is planned so that the two guards work together, complementing each other. The diagram shows a time schedule from 9:00 PM to 9:00 AM the next day, with "Inventor Taro" working at the disaster prevention center from 9:00 AM and "Patent Jiro" going out on patrol. From 10:00 PM, "Inventor Taro" takes a nap in the nap room, while "Patent Jiro" starts working at the disaster prevention center. They swap roles at 2:00 AM, and at 6:00 AM, "Inventor Taro" goes on patrol while "Patent Jiro" waits at the disaster prevention center. At 7:00 AM, "Inventor Taro" returns from patrol and waits at the disaster prevention center, while "Patent Jiro" takes up guard duty at the entrance to the apartment building. After their one-hour guard duty, they return to the disaster prevention center, complete a security report together, hand over to the management company, etc., and end their security duties.
[0026] Figure 8 is a diagram showing the patrol route for security guards, and is an explanatory diagram showing where and in what order the patrols should be made. In this case, the security guards are patrolling a tower apartment building, leaving the disaster prevention center, going up to the 41st floor, and there are only headings such as "check for suspicious persons" and "check for noise," but the manual provides specific explanations.
[0027] Furthermore, in security operations, various management and security-related matters are constantly handed over to security guards from the management company, and the security guards create a communication information file 3 so that these are always communicated to all security guards on duty. When the security support system is started from Figure 3, it transitions to the communication information screen in Figure 4. On this screen, information is constantly exchanged between security control and on-site communication via chat email (see Figure 4, left). In addition, columns for the transmitted information include "date," "from whom," "to whom," "content," "security items," and "remarks," allowing the transmitted information to be viewed at a glance.
[0028] In this way, the transmission information is made into a database as records, stored, and sequentially accumulated as transmission information file 3 on system management server 8. Clicking on the transmission information in Figure 4 transitions to the detailed input screen in Figure 5, where specific content can be entered. Here, nothing is written in the "security item" on the first line of the transmission information in Figure 4, but a "security item" has been entered on the second line, and in this case, as will be described later, the information is also transmitted to records in security manual file 2 that have a matching "security item."
[0029] For example, in the security manual, patrol routes such as "41F," "30F," "22FBP," and "3F Piloti" are databased as "security items" and stored as security manual file 2 on the system management server 8. When this security manual file 2 is viewed, the information for security item 5 in the related communication information file 3 is added to security item 4 in security manual file 2.
[0030] In other words, the security support system 1 of the present invention is configured so that when a security item 5 provided in a security communication information record constituting the communication information file 3 is added and stored as shown in Figure 2, and when the security item 5 provided in the security communication information record of the security manual file 2 matches the security item 4, the content item of the communication item is also added to the security manual file 2 and output as audio or text information.
[0031] For example, in Figure 4, the information entered as communication information is dated "June 7th," and is a message from "Inventor Taro" to "Everyone" titled "Illegal parking is rampant. Warning message required," with "Outer public open space" written in the "Security items:" column. On the other hand, Figure 6 shows a playback video of video file 7 from security manual file 2, and as it is played, the cursor moving up and down on the left side of the screen reaches "Outer perimeter public open space" in "Security items." When this happens, the information in security manual file 2 is added to the information already written in the manual (see the lower left of Figure 6), and the information in security item 5 in the security transmission record of transmission information file 3 is output as audio and text information (see the lower right of Figure 6).
[0032] In this way, the information stored in the transmission information file 3 is linked to the security manual file 2, so that the security manual always stores the latest information, and the security manual never becomes outdated, always containing the latest information.
[0033] Furthermore, if the information on security items stored in the transmission information file 3 is deleted, the link between the transmission information file 3 and the security manual file 2 is terminated, and the transmission information provided to the security manual file 2 is deleted.
[0034] Figure 6 explains an example in which the security manual file 2 is composed of a video file 7, but it is not limited to video; it can be a database of records containing security items in the form of text, drawings, etc., and is not limited to video files 7.
[0035] Furthermore, video file 7 may be a virtual reality video taken with a 360-degree camera, which is suitable for teaching newly appointed security guards patrol routes. Furthermore, since security-related information that arises from time to time can be added in real time, even training footage can be maintained without degradation, allowing for the maintenance of an up-to-date security system.
[0036] Furthermore, to allow even experienced security guards to obtain the latest information, the terminal device that displays the security manual file 2 may be configured as an eyeglass-type device 41, and information guiding security guards to the patrol route may be displayed on the display unit of the eyeglass-type device. The eyeglass-type device 41 may also patrol while taking pictures using, for example, a camera means 42, and may recognize that each patrol location has reached the location assigned as each security item. If there is communication information for each designated location in the communication information file 3, this information may be added to the information previously input, and the contents of the communication item may be output as audio or text information.
[0037] This eyeglass-type device 41 is also known as AR glasses (augmented reality glasses), and differs from the head-mounted display (used by wearing VR goggles) mentioned above. VR goggles have a goggle-type display that covers the field of view to ensure the immersive feeling that is key to VR. When you move your head or gaze, sensors and cameras detect it and the image follows, creating a 360-degree sensation that virtual reality is expanding no matter where you look. In contrast, when wearing AR glasses (smart glasses), the field of view is not completely obscured, and the user can still see the real world.
[0038] However, it is possible to add content and information based on location information, etc., in a way that overlays it on reality. This is why it is also called augmented reality. For example, if you are wearing AR glasses (smart glasses), simply picking up a product in a store will display information about that product and promotional content. The information added in this case is visible only to the person wearing the AR glasses.
[0039] This eyeglass-type device 41 is provided with a camera means 42, a communication means 43, an output means 44 that displays information superimposed on the real world seen through the glasses, an input means 45 that operates this eyeglass-type device 41, a storage means 46 that temporarily stores simple programs and information, and a control means 47 that controls the camera means 42, communication means 43, output means 44, input means 45, and storage means 46, and functions as a small terminal device. The output means 44 is also configured to be connected to earphones or the like so that information such as voice can also be output.
[0040] Furthermore, the eyeglasses-type device 41 can be configured to be used by connecting it to a mobile phone terminal owned by a security guard, thereby simplifying the components and reducing the cost of the device. In the case of security work, providing manuals in the form of two-dimensional visual information or virtual reality images can be an extremely effective means of training. Furthermore, by using the eyeglass-type device 41, information received in real time and recorded in the transmission information file can also be reflected in the security manual file, making it an effective system for responding to situations on the scene in accordance with the "security items." In this way, the security support system of the present invention allows security guards to concentrate on their security work, making it an extremely useful system for industry.
[0041] In addition, the security support system is located on the system management server side, and all security work information is also managed on the server side, so even if an employee loses a terminal device or resigns from security work and continues to own a mobile terminal, they will not be able to authenticate their attendance and departure, preventing security information from being leaked inadvertently and resolving security issues.
