Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a surveillance system for monitoring buildings (specifically, a security system for guarding buildings such as offices and residences, and a monitoring system for monitoring the safety of users within a building), as well as a mobile terminal used in the system, and a display method and 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, the following Patent Document 1 discloses that a security mode switching operation is received remotely from the operation screen of a mobile device of a user who is entering / residing in a building to be guarded, the security device switches the security mode in response to the switching operation, the mobile device receives a signal (notification) related to the security mode switching from the security device or a center, and a message (mode switching message) corresponding to the signal is additionally displayed in chronological order on the chat screen (history display), allowing the user to check the operation history. In addition to switching the security mode, the security device also transmits signals notifying the scheduled time for security to be set and emergency signals notifying the occurrence of an abnormality, and messages corresponding to these signals are also displayed as a history on the chat screen in the same way as the mode switching message. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2018-137673 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in the technology of Patent Document 1 mentioned above, when a mobile terminal receives signals indicating the same content from a security device multiple times, if all messages corresponding to the received signals are displayed as a history on the chat screen, the same messages will be displayed multiple times, making it difficult for the user to check the history of important mode switching messages, etc. on the chat screen.

[0006] In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a mobile terminal, a monitoring system, a display method, and a program that are capable of improving the visibility of the history display on the chat screen while maintaining communicability to the user when a signal notifying the same content is received from a monitoring device. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, a monitoring system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a monitoring device that monitors a monitoring target, and a mobile terminal that is capable of communicating with the monitoring device. The monitoring device has a transmission means for transmitting a monitoring signal related to monitoring of the monitoring target to the mobile terminal. The portable terminal has a receiving means for receiving the transmitted monitor signal, and a display control means for displaying messages corresponding to the received monitor signal in chronological order on a chat screen. When the display control means receives a monitoring signal related to a predetermined schedule set for performing the monitoring from the monitoring device, if the received monitoring signal is first notification information, it additionally displays a message indicating the first notification information on the chat screen so that the message can be confirmed as history, and if the monitoring signal is second notification information, it temporarily displays the second notification information on the chat screen or another screen.

[0008] With this configuration, when the monitoring system receives a monitoring signal related to a monitoring schedule from a security device, the monitoring system displays a message in the chat screen history according to the notification condition of the signal, and a message to be displayed temporarily, thereby improving the visibility of the history display on the chat screen while maintaining the communication to the user. This is particularly effective when the monitoring signal indicating the second notification information is received multiple times. Here, the monitoring device may be a security device in a security system that guards buildings such as offices and houses, or a monitoring device in a monitoring system that monitors the safety of users in buildings. The monitoring signal may notify the user of the operation history (security mode switching, equipment control, safety confirmation contact, etc.) or the detection history (abnormal detection, human detection, breathing detection, etc.) of the monitoring device. In addition, "temporarily displayed" means that the message is displayed once and then deleted automatically or by the user's operation without being left as a history on the chat screen.

[0009] The mobile terminal may further include an operation means for allowing a user to additionally set the second notification information in the monitoring device in addition to the first notification information. In this case, the transmission means may transmit a monitoring signal indicating the first notification information at a preset first time corresponding to the schedule, and transmit a monitoring signal indicating the second notification information at a second time corresponding to the schedule.

[0010] This allows messages corresponding to information that has been preset for notification to remain as history on the chat screen, while messages corresponding to additional notification information that each user has set and that is less important are displayed temporarily and not left as history, thereby improving visibility on the chat screen.

[0011] The transmission means may transmit the first notification information to a plurality of portable terminals, and transmit the second notification information to some of the plurality of portable terminals.

[0012] This allows messages corresponding to notification information intended for all users to remain as history on the chat screen, while messages corresponding to notification information intended for some users that is less important are displayed temporarily and not left in the history, thereby improving visibility on the chat screen.

[0013] The monitoring device may determine whether or not it is in a predetermined monitoring state at a scheduled time that is predetermined as the schedule. In this case, the transmission means may transmit a monitoring signal indicating the first notification information if it is not in the monitoring state at a first time that corresponds to the scheduled time, and may transmit a monitoring signal indicating the second notification information if it is not in the monitoring state at a second time that is different from the first time that corresponds to the scheduled time.

[0014] The monitoring device may have, as monitoring modes, at least an alert mode in which the monitoring of the monitoring target is performed and an alert off mode, and may determine that the monitoring device is in a non-alert state if the alert mode is not set at an alert start time in which the monitoring is performed. In this case, the transmission means may transmit a monitoring signal indicating the first notification information if the alert mode is not set at a first time corresponding to the alert start time, and may transmit a monitoring signal indicating the second notification information if the alert mode is not set at a second time different from the first time corresponding to the alert start time.

[0015] The monitoring device may further include a notification means for executing notification guidance via a speaker or a display when a predetermined monitoring state is not reached at a first preset time corresponding to the schedule. In this case, the transmission means may transmit a monitoring signal indicating the first notification information in conjunction with the notification guidance.

[0016] As a result, since the notification information transmitted in conjunction with the notification guidance from the monitoring device is considered to be of high importance, the corresponding message can be left as history on the chat screen so that it can be checked later.

[0017] The second notification information may include identification information for identifying which of a plurality of monitoring areas of the building the message corresponds to. In this case, when the user starts an application that displays the chat screen upon receiving the second notification information, the display control means may automatically transition to a chat screen for the corresponding monitoring area based on the identification information and temporarily display the message.

[0018] This allows the user to easily understand which monitored area the message is about, even though it is only a temporary display.

[0019] When the second notification information is received, the display control means may display the message as a dialogue that can be dismissed by a user operation.

[0020] As a result, the dialog will not be dismissed unless the user performs an operation, so that the user is guaranteed to check the dialog, thereby improving the communicability of the notification, even though the display is only temporary.

[0021] A mobile terminal according to another aspect of the present invention includes a receiving means for receiving a monitoring signal transmitted from a monitoring device monitoring a monitoring target, and a display control means for displaying messages corresponding to the received monitoring signal in chronological order on a chat screen. When the display control means receives a monitoring signal related to a predetermined schedule set for performing the monitoring from the monitoring device, if the received monitoring signal is first notification information, the display control means additionally displays a message indicating the first notification information on the chat screen so that the message can be confirmed as history, and if the monitoring signal is second notification information, the display control means temporarily displays the second notification information on the chat screen or another screen.

[0022] A display method according to another aspect of the present invention includes: receiving a monitoring signal transmitted from a monitoring device that monitors a monitoring target; messages corresponding to the received monitoring signals are displayed in chronological order on a chat screen; The displaying step includes, when a monitoring signal related to a predetermined schedule set for performing the monitoring is received from the monitoring device, if the received monitoring signal is first notification information, additionally displaying a message indicating the first notification information on the chat screen so that the message can be confirmed as history, and, if the monitoring signal is second notification information, temporarily displaying the second notification information on the chat screen or another screen.

[0023] A program according to another aspect of the present invention includes: receiving a monitoring signal transmitted from a monitoring device that monitors a monitoring target; displaying messages corresponding to the received monitoring signals in chronological order on a chat screen; This is a program that executes the above. The displaying step, when a monitoring signal related to a predetermined schedule set for performing the monitoring is received from the monitoring device, if the received monitoring signal is first notification information, additionally displays a message indicating the first notification information on the chat screen so that the message can be confirmed as history, and if the monitoring signal is second notification information, temporarily displays the second notification information on the chat screen or another screen. Effect of the Invention

[0024] As described above, according to the present invention, when a signal notifying the same content is received from a monitoring device, it is possible to improve the visibility of the history display on the chat screen while maintaining the communication to the user. However, this effect does not limit the present invention. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0026] Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a security system will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0027] [System configuration] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a security system according to this embodiment.

[0028] As shown in the figure, the security system includes a security device 100, a user terminal 200, and a center server 300 in a security center.

[0029] The security device 100 is installed in a building (security target T) such as a corporate tenant building, monitors the security target T for abnormalities, and reports any detected abnormalities to a security center. As will be described in detail later, the security device 100 guards the security target T using a number of security modes (e.g., alert mode, alert release mode, presence set mode, etc.).

[0030] The user terminal 200 is, for example, a terminal carried by an employee of a company located in the building of the security target T, and is, for example, a portable computer such as a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet PC (Personal Computer), etc. The user terminal 200 is connectable to a mobile network such as LTE (Long Term Evolution), 3G, Wi-Fi, etc.

[0031] The user terminal 200 can switch the security mode from a remote location of the security target T by communicating with the security device 100, and can display a history of changes to the security mode. The security mode switching operation is input on an application (hereinafter referred to as a "security application") that is installed in the user terminal 200 and provides security mode information and other security information.

[0032] The security device 100 also has an operation unit (such as an operation panel) installed on the wall of each area of ​​the building of the security target T, and when the user is inside the building, 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 given to each user into the operation unit. In this embodiment, the operation unit may be referred to as the "main body operation unit" in contrast to the user terminal 200 that can be remotely operated.

[0033] The center server 300 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 user terminal 200 via the Internet. A controller is always present at the security center, and when an abnormality report is received from the security device 100, necessary measures such as dispatching a security guard to the object of security of the security device 100 are taken according to the type of abnormality report received.

[0034] The center server 300 also stores information such as the location of the security target T, and information about users (companies, etc.) under a security contract who are occupying the security target. For example, the center server 300 pairs the user terminals 200 and security devices 100 of each company occupying the security target T, and stores information for authentication purposes that groups them by security target T. The center server 300 also stores information about the authentication cards that have been paired and grouped in the same manner as the user terminals 200.

[0035] The security mode switching is performed according to the flow of (1) to (8) in the figure. That is, (1) the user terminal 200 requests the center server 300 to switch the security mode via the mobile network, (2) the center server 300 authenticates the user terminal 200 (the company to which the user terminal 200 belongs), and if the authentication passes, (3) transfers the security mode switching request to the security device 100, thereby 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 300 of the completion of the security mode switching.

[0036] Then, (6) the center server 300 receives the notification and requests an API for push notification 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 switching. (7) Upon receiving the request, the API sends a push notification of the completion of the mode switching to the user terminal 200, and (8) the user terminal 200 receives the push notification and displays the completion of the mode switching on the display unit.

[0037] As explained above, in the security mode switching process, the center server 300 only mediates (and authenticates) the communication between the security device 100 and the user terminal 200, and therefore in this embodiment, the communication actually mediated by the center server 300 may be described as communication between the security device 100 and the user terminal 200, with the mediation process omitted. Note that the security device 100 may be provided with some of the functions of the center server 300, allowing communication between the security device 100 and the user terminal 200 to be performed without the center server 300 acting as an intermediary.

[0038] The user terminal 200 can receive a remote switching operation of the security mode by the security application, and can display the security mode switching operation and the mode switching result by the security device 100 in response to the mode switching operation as a message on a chat screen. Furthermore, the user terminal 200 can also display information corresponding to the message on a list screen which is a list of display columns for each of a plurality of security areas within the security object T. Details of these display processes will be described later.

[0039] [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.

[0040] The intrusion monitoring sensor 10 is a sensor for detecting intruders, such as a sensor for detecting the opening and closing of doors and windows, a sensor for detecting heat emitted by the human body as a heat source, a sensor for detecting infrared rays being blocked by the human body, etc. The intrusion monitoring sensors are broadly divided into those installed in the outer periphery area of ​​the security target T and those installed in other areas. Furthermore, the intrusion monitoring sensors installed in the outer periphery area of ​​the security target T are divided into those installed in the entrance and exit areas and those other than those. The fire sensor 12 is a sensor for detecting heat and smoke associated with the outbreak of a fire.

[0041] The main device 101 is composed of a control unit 110, a notification unit 130, a notice unit 140, a display unit 150, an operation unit 160, and a communication interface (I / F) 170.

[0042] The reporting unit 130 reports an abnormality to a security center (not shown) 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 performs various displays on and off the main device.

[0043] Specifically, the notification unit 140 notifies by voice the security mode of the security device 100, whether or not an abnormality has been detected, scheduled guidance notifying the scheduled time for security start (security mode setting), operation guidance, etc. Alternatively or in addition to this, the display unit 150 may display information relating to the presence or absence of abnormality detection, scheduled guidance, and operation guidance.

[0044] 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 user terminal 200 as a remote control unit for switching security modes.

[0045] 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.

[0046] The operation unit 160 also has buttons for use other than switching security modes, such as an emergency call button to be operated if the user is attacked by an intruder or senses something abnormal with his or her body, and a cancel operation button to cancel an abnormality if the user accidentally causes one.

[0047] The control unit 110 is a part that is composed of a processor, a memory, etc., and controls the operation of the security device. Functionally, it realizes a mode storage means 112, a monitoring control information storage means 114, an intrusion monitoring sensor detection processing means 116, a mode setting means 118, etc. The mode storage means 112 stores each security mode together with its identification information, and stores information on the currently set security mode among them, for example, by a flag or the like. The monitoring control information storage means 114 stores the installation area and address code of various sensors, and stores the correspondence between the security mode and various sensors that are in a monitoring state. The intrusion monitoring sensor detection processing means 116 executes a process of outputting an abnormality signal by performing an abnormality judgment and a process of determining and outputting an alarm sound based on the current security mode stored in the mode storage means 112 and the contents stored in the monitoring control information storage means 114 when a certain intrusion monitoring sensor detects an intrusion. The mode setting means 118 executes the setting (switching) process of the above security mode based on the mode switching operation by the user via the operation unit 160 and the user terminal 200. When the security mode is changed, the mode setting means 118 stores the switched-to security mode in the mode storage means 112 as the current security mode.

[0048] Furthermore, when some abnormality occurs in the guard object T, the control unit 110 stores status information indicating that an abnormality is occurring together with the type of the abnormality (described later).

[0049] Although not shown, the main device 101 also stores group setting information relating to the multiple user terminals 200 and the authentication cards paired with the security device 100 and set as a group, as well as the identification information of each user (user name, user ID, etc.). In other words, the security device 100 stores, for each security area (or entire property), a user terminal 200 that can remotely control the security mode of that security area (or entire property) in association with the user terminal 200.

[0050] [User terminal configuration] 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the user terminal 200. As shown in the figure, the user terminal 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 to each other.

[0051] The CPU 21 appropriately accesses the RAM 23 etc. as necessary, and performs various arithmetic processing while controlling all the blocks of the user terminal 200. The ROM 22 is a non-volatile memory in which the OS, programs, various parameters, and other firmware to be executed by the CPU 21 are fixedly stored. The RAM 23 is used as a working area for the CPU 21, and temporarily stores the OS, various applications being executed, and various data being processed.

[0052] 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.

[0053] The display unit 26 is a display device using, for example, a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), an Organic ElectroLuminescence Display (OLED), a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT), or the like.

[0054] 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.

[0055] The storage unit 28 is, for example, a flash memory (SSD; Solid State Drive) or other solid-state memory, a non-volatile memory such as a HDD (Hard Disk Drive), etc. The storage unit 28 stores the OS, various applications, and various data.

[0056] Particularly in this embodiment, the storage unit 28 stores the security application and other programs for the user terminal 200 to execute security mode switching processing in conjunction with the security device 100. The security application also includes data (text information and image information) required for displaying an operation screen for accepting a security mode switching operation, a chat screen for displaying the switching result, and a list screen. The CPU 21 functions as a display control means for controlling the display switching processing of the operation screen, list screen, and chat screen, and the display processing of messages. The security application also stores the current security mode of each security area set in the security device 100. Furthermore, the security application stores a message correspondence table that associates the security mode switching operation and switching processing with the messages to be displayed on the chat screen.

[0057] The communication unit 29 is a module for wireless communication such as LTE or Wi-Fi, and is responsible for communication processing between the security device 100 and the center server 300 via a mobile network and the Internet.

[0058] [Security area] Next, a description will be given of the multiple security areas of the security object T in this embodiment. Fig. 4 is a diagram illustrating the security areas of the security object T. Fig. 4A is a partially see-through diagram of the exterior of the security object T, and Fig. 4B is a plan view of the floor on which the security object T is located.

[0059] As shown in the figure, the security target T is, for example, a tenant building made up of multiple floors, and has a common area As and multiple individual areas Ai as security targets.

[0060] The common area As is an area that includes, for example, the entrance and exit of the security target T and is shared by employees of the tenant company. The common area As is usually provided on the first floor of the security target T, but may be provided on the second floor or higher.

[0061] The individual area Ai is an area used individually by each employee of the tenant company, and may be, for example, an office, a conference room, a laboratory, etc. To enter the individual area Ai, the employee must pass through the common area As.

[0062] The security device 100 can switch the security mode for each individual area Ai individually. To set the security mode for the common area As to the alert mode, all individual areas Ai must be set to the alert mode. When a user of each individual area Ai sets the security mode for his / her own individual area Ai to the alert mode, if all the other individual areas Ai are set to the alert mode, the user, as the last person to leave the building, performs an operation to set the security mode for the common area As (the entire security target) to the alert mode.

[0063] In addition, when multiple tenant companies occupy one security target T, the multiple tenant companies each use one or multiple individual areas Ai and share the common area As. In this case, the users of each tenant company cannot switch the security mode for the individual areas Ai in which other tenant companies occupy, and when the security mode for all of the users' own individual areas Ai and all of the individual areas Ai of other tenant companies are set to the alert mode, the security mode for the common area As is set to the alert mode.

[0064] In this embodiment, the user terminal 200, as described below, displays a list screen that lists display fields that display information regarding the security mode for each individual area Ai, and is capable of switching between the list screen, a chat screen that displays messages regarding switching the security mode for each individual area Ai, and an operation screen for switching the security mode.

[0065] [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 an alert mode, a presence alert mode, and an alert release (presence) mode as security modes for each individual area Ai. The security device 100 also has an alert mode and an alert release mode as security modes for the shared area As.

[0066] The monitoring and emergency notification by the fire sensor 12 are performed regardless of the security mode. Any abnormal occurrence due to these is notified by a different alarm sound. On the other hand, the monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 differs depending on the security mode.

[0067] The alert mode is a mode that is set when all users of an individual area Ai of the security target T leave (exit) the individual area Ai, and when all users of all individual areas Ai leave (exit) the security target T. In this mode, monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 is performed by all the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 installed in the individual area Ai and the common area As.

[0068] The presence alert mode is a mode used when a user is present in the individual area Ai and it is desired to monitor intrusion from the outside. In this mode, monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 is performed only by the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 installed in the outer peripheral area of ​​the individual area Ai, such as windows and doors, out of all the intrusion monitoring sensors 10.

[0069] The disarm mode is a mode used when a user of an individual area Ai is present. In this mode, monitoring is not performed by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10. When a user switches the security mode of an individual area Ai to the disarm mode, if the security modes of all individual areas Ai of the security target T are set to the security mode, the common area As is also set to the security mode, and the user must first switch the security mode of the common area As to the disarm mode, and then switch the security mode of the individual area Ai to the disarm mode.

[0070] [Signal transmitted from security device] Next, a description will be given of the types of signals transmitted from the security device 100 to the user terminal 200. The transmitted signals include a schedule signal, a mode switching signal, an event signal, and the like, as will be described below.

[0071] (Schedule signal) As described above, if the security mode of the security object T or each individual area Ai has not been set to the above-mentioned alert mode even when the time (scheduled set time) arrives when the security object T or each individual area Ai is supposed to be unattended, the security device 100 will alert the alarm unit 140 with scheduled guidance (alert guidance) before the scheduled set time to prevent the security object T or each individual area Ai from being left in an unguarded state (NO set abnormality).

[0072] If the user wishes to continue being in the room after receiving the scheduled time guidance, for example, to continue working overtime, the user extends the scheduled time or cancels the setting.

[0073] In order to further strengthen the function of preventing the NO set abnormality, a schedule signal is transmitted in association with the fixed time guidance. That is, the security device 100 judges whether the security target T (individual area Ai) is in alert mode or not at a pre-registered time before the scheduled set time, and if it is not in the out alert mode, transmits a schedule signal to the user terminal 200. The schedule signal includes the following fixed notification and additional notification.

[0074] The fixed notification is a process linked to the scheduled guidance of the security device 100, and the security device 100 notifies the user by voice or by the display unit 150 of the security device 100, and transmits a schedule signal related to the fixed notification to the user terminal. The fixed notification is set in advance by the security device 100 (such as an operator who can access the center server 300). Note that the administrator of the security object T or the security area (such as the building owner or tenant manager) may be able to switch the preset fixed notification function on and off.

[0075] In this case, the schedule signal includes information indicating that it is a fixed notification, information on the individual area Ai which is the scheduled set time, and information on the remaining time until the scheduled set time.

[0076] For example, if the scheduled set time for a certain individual area Ai is 8 p.m., the security device 100 determines whether the security mode for the individual area Ai is the alert mode 15 minutes before 8 p.m., and determines whether to transmit a schedule signal.

[0077] The additional notification is a notification that is additionally set by an individual user (user of the user terminal 200) who uses the individual area Ai, separate from the fixed notification linked to the scheduled guidance. When the time set by the individual user arrives, the security device 100 determines whether the security target T (individual area Ai) is in alert mode or not, and transmits a schedule signal to the user terminal 200 if it is not in alert mode.

[0078] In this case, each schedule signal includes information indicating that it is an additional notification, information on the individual area Ai which is the scheduled set time, information on the time remaining until the scheduled set time, and also message information to be displayed in a dialogue.

[0079] For example, if the scheduled set time for an individual area Ai is 8 p.m. and the scheduled set time for the fixed notification is 15 minutes before the scheduled set time, the individual user additionally sets the time at which the schedule signal is to be sent, for example, 10 minutes or 20 minutes before the scheduled set time, in the security device 100 separately from the fixed notification, and the security device 100 determines whether the security mode for the individual area Ai is in alert mode at each of the times and determines whether to send the schedule signal. The scheduled set time for the fixed notification may be after the scheduled set time or exactly at the scheduled set time. For example, the scheduled set time for the fixed notification may be 1 minute after the scheduled set time. In this case, the schedule signal includes information indicating that it is a fixed notification, information on the individual area Ai that is the scheduled set time, and information that a NO set abnormality has occurred.

[0080] (Mode switching signal) The mode switching signal is a signal transmitted when the security device 100 switches the security mode in response to a security mode switching operation by the user. The mode switching signal includes information indicating that it is a mode switching signal, information on the individual area Ai to be guarded, and mode identification information indicating the security mode after switching.

[0081] (Event Signal) The event signal is a signal that includes information indicating that a preset event has occurred when the event has occurred. The event signal includes information indicating that it is an event signal, information on the individual area Ai in which the event has occurred, information indicating the event that has occurred, etc.

[0082] For example, when the electric lock of an individual area Ai is unlocked, the security device 100 transmits information that the electric lock has been unlocked as an event signal, and also attaches an image captured by a camera capturing an image of the electric-locked door.

[0083] The user terminal 200 stores the message contents corresponding to each of the above signals in advance as a table or the like, and displays the message corresponding to the received signal on the chat screen. Note that the user terminal 200 may not store the message contents in advance, and the security device 100 may include information on the message contents to be displayed for each signal, or when the user terminal 200 updates the chat screen for the center server 300, information on the message contents to be added and displayed in response to the signal may be received from the center server 300.

[0084] [List screen, chat screen and operation screen] As described above, in this embodiment, the security application of the user terminal 200 switchably displays a list screen that displays a list of information regarding the security mode for each individual area Ai, a chat screen that displays messages regarding the security mode for each individual area Ai in a chronological order in an interactive format, and an operation screen that accepts switching operations for the security mode from the user.

[0085] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the list screen together with the external appearance of the guard target T of FIG. 4A.

[0086] As shown in the figure, the list screen 70 displays a list of display fields 71 ​​corresponding to the shared area As and the individual area Ai. In the example of the figure, the display field 71 corresponding to the shared area As is displayed at the top, and the display field 71 corresponding to the individual area Ai is displayed below it. Note that if the security object T does not have a shared area As, a list of only the individual area Ai is displayed.

[0087] As the display field 71 corresponding to the individual area Ai, in addition to the display field 71 corresponding to the individual area Ai where the user of the individual area Ai has the authority to switch the security mode, a display field 71 corresponding to the individual area Ai where the user of the individual area Ai does not have the authority to switch the security mode (for example, of another tenant company) is also displayed, for example, at the bottom. However, the display field 71 for the security areas where the user does not have the authority to operate is not for each security area, but when there are multiple security areas, a single display field 71 is displayed, and in this display field 71, a message is displayed indicating whether all of the security areas where the user does not have the authority to operate are in alert mode. The user cannot operate this display field 71.

[0088] Each display field 71 displays information such as an area name 72 indicating the name of each security area, a security mode icon 73 that identifies the current security mode state of each security area by color (for example, blue for alert mode and black for disarmed mode), the latest message 74 related to the security mode displayed on the chat screen corresponding to each security area, and the reception time 75 of the latest message 74. Note that even for a display field 71 that collectively displays multiple security areas for which the user does not have the authority to switch the security mode, the latest message 74 related to the security mode (for example, a message saying "It is set" if all multiple security areas are switched to alert mode) and the reception time 75 of the latest message 74 may be displayed.

[0089] As will be described later, the latest security mode messages 74 displayed in each display box 71 include messages indicating the current (switched) security mode for each security area, as well as messages indicating changes to security hours.

[0090] Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the list screen 70 and a chat screen that can be switched from the list screen 70. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a more detailed example of the chat screen.

[0091] 6, when a user selects any of the display fields 71 ​​on the list screen 70 by tapping or the like, the screen switches to a chat screen for the individual area Ai or the shared area As corresponding to the selected display field 71. The chat screen 80 displays a group of area messages in chronological order, including a switching message corresponding to switching of the security mode for each security area.

[0092] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, on the chat screen 80, switching messages, namely a message indicating a mode switching operation by the user (mode operation message 83) and a message indicating the mode switching result by the security device 100 in response to the mode switching operation (mode switching message 84), are displayed in chronological order in an interactive format, separated into different areas (for example, the former on the right and the latter on the left).

[0093] The mode switching message 84 is a message corresponding to the mode switching signal transmitted from the security device 100 when switching the security mode.

[0094] In FIG. 6, the latest message 74 displayed in the display field 71 of the list screen 70 corresponds to the mode switching message 84 displayed at the bottom of the chat screen 80.

[0095] 7, the chat screen 80 has a time axis that runs from top to bottom, with older (earlier received) messages being displayed at the top and newer (later received) messages being displayed at the bottom. The latest message is always added to the bottom, and older messages that do not fit within the display range of the message display area can be scrolled to the bottom and displayed by the user flicking or swiping the message display area, for example, vertically.

[0096] Each mode operation message 83 and each mode switching message 84 includes, in addition to the message body enclosed in a rectangular frame, operator information, an operation tool, and reception time (operation time) information in an adjacent position (for example, at the top).

[0097] In the example of Figure 7, in response to an alert release operation by Taro, the user of user terminal 200, a mode operation message 83 indicating the operation and a mode switching message 84 indicating the result of switching to the alert release mode in response to the operation are displayed.

[0098] Additionally, on the chat screen 80, ordinary messages can also be exchanged between a plurality of users in the security area corresponding to the chat screen 80, and these messages are displayed as messages 88.

[0099] Although not shown in the figure, when a user double-tap on chat screen 80, a character selection area such as a character input box and a keyboard for the user to compose a message is displayed, for example at the bottom, allowing the user to enter a message.

[0100] Furthermore, notification messages from the security device 100 side or the security system side other than the switching of the security mode by the security device 100 may also be displayed on the chat screen 80. Examples of notification messages include a message 86 corresponding to a fixed notification and an additional notification based on the schedule signal, an event message 89 (e.g., a notification that an object has been detected) corresponding to the event signal transmitted when some event occurs with respect to equipment (temperature, doors, etc.) or sensors (safes, windows, etc.) in the security area corresponding to the chat screen 80 in the security off mode, and an abnormality message displayed in response to the emergency signal transmitted when some abnormality occurs in the building or security area in the security mode.

[0101] Furthermore, when a preset event occurs (for example, the alert mode is switched to the non-alert mode), a security camera image 87 relating to the event is received from the security device 100 and is additionally displayed on the chat screen 80.

[0102] For example, when a user inputs an operation to cancel the security mode of an individual area Ai, in order to make it possible to confirm whether the user who performed the cancellation operation is the same person as the user who entered the room, a video (image or video) captured by a surveillance camera is transmitted to the user terminal 200 and displayed on the chat screen 80. Furthermore, when a sensor in a safe or window detects something, an image from the surveillance camera around the safe or window may be transmitted to the user terminal 200 and displayed on the chat screen 80, or a message indicating the detection may be additionally displayed.

[0103] Further, for example, at the bottom of the chat screen 80, an operation menu button 81 and a setting menu button 82 are displayed.

[0104] The operation menu button 81 is a button for switching between the operation screen and the chat screen 80. The setting menu button 82 is a button used when changing various settings related to user information and the like.

[0105] Also, for example, in the upper left corner of the chat screen 80, a security mode display icon 85 is displayed indicating the current security mode of the security area corresponding to the chat screen 80. For example, the security mode display icon 85 is displayed in blue if the security area is in alert mode, and in black if not. Also, in the chat screen 80, the security mode display icon 85 also functions as a list screen return button for switching the chat screen 80 to the list screen 70 when tapped by the user.

[0106] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the operation screen.

[0107] As shown in the figure, when the user taps an operation menu button 81 on the chat screen 80, the operation screen 90 is displayed so as to be overlapped with the chat screen 80, for example.

[0108] The operation screen 90 is configured as a user interface using, for example, a touch panel, and in addition to the operation menu button 81 and setting menu button 82 that are provided in common with the chat screen 80, has an in-zone area selection button 91, a status check button 92, an alert mode setting button 93, an alert off mode setting button 94, a presence alert mode setting button 95, and a security time change button 96. Each button is displayed on the screen as a button icon, and when the user taps on the respective button icon area, it is recognized as a selection operation of the respective button.

[0109] The intra-area selection button 91 is a button for selecting an area as a target for a security mode switching operation when an individual area Ai is further divided into a plurality of areas and guarded by the area.

[0110] The status confirmation button 92 is a button for confirming the current security mode status of the individual area Ai.

[0111] The alert mode setting button 93 is a button that accepts a tap operation for switching from alert disarm mode to alert mode, and the alert disarm button 94 is a button that accepts a tap operation for switching from alert mode to alert disarm mode.

[0112] The presence alert mode setting button 95 is a button that accepts a tap operation for switching the current security mode to the presence alert mode.

[0113] The security time change button 96 is a button that accepts an operation to change (extend, etc.) the set time in relation to a function of automatically switching the individual area Ai to security mode or contacting the user by phone from the security center when the security mode for the individual area Ai has not been set even at the time previously set by the user. When the security time change button 96 is tapped, a screen for inputting the changed set time is displayed, and the user can change the time on the screen.

[0114] When the above-mentioned various buttons are operated by the user, the user terminal 200 transmits to the security device 100 a signal requesting switching to the corresponding security mode.

[0115] The operation screen 90 is switched to the chat screen 80 by operating the operation menu button 81, and also by operating, for example, a close button provided in the upper right portion.

[0116] When the security application is started or when switching to the operation screen 90, a pop-up is displayed prompting the user to enter a passcode for user authentication, and operation of each mode setting button is enabled when the user correctly enters the passcode. As a user authentication method, biometric authentication such as a fingerprint can be used instead of a passcode. User authentication may also be performed when each mode setting button is pressed on the operation screen 90.

[0117] [Security system in operation] Next, the operation of the security system configured as above will be described. The operation is executed by the cooperation of hardware such as the CPU and communication unit of the security device 100 and the user terminal 200, and software stored in the storage unit. In the following description, for convenience, the control unit 110 of the security device 100 and the security application or CPU 21 of the user terminal 200 are regarded as the operating subjects.

[0118] Fig. 9 is a flowchart showing the flow of display processing of the user terminal 200 when a schedule signal is received in the above security system. Fig. 10 and Fig. 11 are diagrams showing screen transitions on the user terminal 200 corresponding to the flowchart. In Fig. 9, as an example, it is assumed that the scheduled set time is set to 20:00.

[0119] As described above, when the security device 100 is set to transmit an additional notification (second notification information) for each individual area Ai, it determines whether the current security mode is the alert mode or not when the transmission setting time arrives. If the current security mode is not the alert mode, it transmits a schedule signal for the additional notification only to the user terminals 200 that have been set to receive the additional notification.

[0120] Furthermore, when the time for the scheduled guidance for the individual area Ai arrives, the security device 100 judges whether the current security mode is the alert mode or not. If the current security mode is not the alert mode, the security device 100 issues the scheduled guidance from a speaker or the like and transmits a schedule signal of a fixed notification (first notification information) to the user terminals 200 of all users who use the individual area Ai.

[0121] As shown in FIG. 9, when the CPU 11 of the user terminal 200A of a user using a certain individual area Ai determines that it has received a schedule signal from the security device 100 (Yes in step 11), it determines whether it is a fixed notification or an additional notification (step 12).

[0122] When the CPU 11 determines that the received schedule signal is a fixed notification, as shown in FIG. 10(C), the CPU 11 additionally displays the corresponding message 86a on the chat screen 80 of the individual area Ai identified by the schedule signal so that the message 86a can be confirmed as history (step 13).

[0123] On the other hand, if the CPU 11 determines that the received schedule signal is an additional notification, then based on the information contained in the schedule signal, it displays a corresponding message as a dialog 51 that can be cleared by a user operation, as shown in FIG. 10(D) (step 14).

[0124] Specifically, the dialog 51 includes a message and a close button 51a, and when the CPU 11 receives a pressing operation of the close button 51a from the user, it erases the dialog 51. That is, the display of the additional notification by the dialog 51 is a temporary display, whereas the fixed notification is displayed as a message 86 that can be confirmed as history on the chat screen 80.

[0125] As shown in FIG. 10(A), if the display unit 26 of the user terminal 200 is in a locked (sleep) state when the CPU 11 receives a schedule signal, the CPU 11 displays a message corresponding to the schedule signal as a push notification 50 on the locked screen.

[0126] Then, as shown in FIG. 10(B), when the user taps the push notification 50, or when the user taps the icon of a security application on the home screen of the user terminal 200, the CPU 11 transitions to the chat screen 80 of the corresponding individual area Ai.

[0127] That is, even when an additional notification is received, the CPU 11 automatically transitions to the chat screen 80 of the individual area Ai corresponding to the received additional notification, and then displays the dialog 51. This allows the user to recognize which individual area Ai the message was for, even if the user misses the push notification 50 on the lock screen. The dialog message displayed as the dialog 51 is a message displayed on the security application, unlike the push notification message displayed as the push notification 50 (a message displayed on the lock screen of the user terminal 200A, etc.).

[0128] When CPU 11 of user terminal 200A determines that a schedule signal has been received again (Yes in step 15), it also processes in the same manner as in steps 11 to 14 above, and displays message 86 or dialogue 51 (steps 16 to 18).

[0129] Moreover, the CPU 11 of a user terminal B of a user other than the user terminal 200A also performs the same process as above and displays the message 86 or the dialogue 51 every time it receives a schedule signal (steps 21 to 32).

[0130] The flowchart in Figure 9 shows an example in which, for a scheduled set time of 20:00, only user terminal 200A receives an additional notification at 19:30, and user terminals 200A and 200B receive a fixed notification at 19:45, and then receive another additional notification at 19:50.

[0131] When a signal other than a schedule signal is received, the CPU 11 not only additionally displays the message 86 on the chat screen 80, but also updates the chat screen 80 and the list screen 70 and displays image information.

[0132] Furthermore, when the CPU 11 receives a mode switching signal, it additionally displays a mode switching message 84 corresponding to the signal on the chat screen 80, updates the display of the current security mode on the chat screen 80 and the list screen 70, and updates the time display and message display on the list screen 70.

[0133] Furthermore, when the CPU 11 receives an event signal, it additionally displays a message corresponding to the event signal and also displays a camera image corresponding to the event signal. For example, if the unlocking of an electric lock is set as an event, when it detects that the electric lock has been unlocked, it receives from the security device 100 an event signal including information that the electric lock has been unlocked, information about the location of the electric lock, and information about the time the electric lock was unlocked, as well as an image from a camera capturing the unlocked electric lock, and additionally displays a message 86 and a camera image 87 corresponding to the event signal on the chat screen 80.

[0134] 10, the message displayed in the push notification 50 (push notification message), the chat message 86 additionally displayed on the chat screen 80, and the dialogue message displayed in the dialogue 51 all have the same content, for example, "The set start time will soon come. Please perform the set operation or change the guard time." In addition to this, the content may be, for example, "The set start time (hh:mm) is in mm minutes. Please perform the set operation or change the guard time."

[0135] However, the contents of the push notification 50, the message 86 on the chat screen 80, and the message on the dialogue 51 may be different sentences so long as they have the same meaning. For example, the push notification 50 may be a relatively short message such as "The time to set will soon come" or "The time to set △△ block will soon come" and the message on the dialogue 51 and the message 86 on the chat screen 80 may be a relatively long message such as "The time to start setting will soon come. Please perform the setting operation or the guard time change operation."

[0136] Also, the push notification 50 may be a message that simply notifies the user of the notification (for example, "There is a notification from the center."). Also, the message content may be different between the message corresponding to the fixed notification and the message corresponding to the additional notification.

[0137] 11, after receiving a fixed notification or an additional notification and displaying the corresponding message 86 or dialog 51 on the chat screen 80, if an additional notification is further received from the state (E) in which the chat screen 80 is being displayed, the CPU 11 displays the dialog 51 as shown in (F) of the same figure. The dialog 51 is cleared by clicking the close button 51a.

[0138] Furthermore, when a fixed notification is received from this state, the CPU 11 additionally displays a corresponding message 86 on the chat screen 80 as shown in FIG.

[0139] Then, from this state, if the user performs a security mode switching operation (alert mode setting operation) for the individual area Ai in which the user is present, the CPU 11 displays a mode operation message 83 on the chat screen 80, and further displays a corresponding mode switching message 84 based on the mode switching signal received from the security device 100 that performed the security mode switching.

[0140] [summary] As described above, according to this embodiment, when the user terminal 200 receives a fixed notification, the corresponding message is displayed on the chat screen 80 so that it can be confirmed as history, while even if an additional notification is received, the message is only displayed temporarily in the dialog 51 and is not left as history on the chat screen 80. This makes it possible to prevent duplication of the same message while maintaining the communicability of the message to the user, and makes it easier to check other important messages such as mode switching operations.

[0141] [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.

[0142] In the above embodiment, when a schedule signal is received, the user terminal 200 determines whether the corresponding message is to be left in the history on the chat screen 80 or to be displayed temporarily, but this determination does not have to be made by the user terminal 200. For example, the security device 100 may transmit a schedule signal containing information indicating whether the message is to be left in the history or to be displayed temporarily, and the user terminal 200 may display the message according to the information contained in the signal.

[0143] In the above embodiment, the dialog 51 is displayed as a temporary display when an additional notification is received. However, the temporary display is not limited to the dialog 51. For example, the user terminal 200 may temporarily display an additional message on the chat screen 80, and delete the message when a predetermined time (e.g., 30 minutes or 1 hour later) has elapsed, or when the user next starts the security application and displays the chat screen 80. Also, an icon indicating the reception of an additional notification may be displayed at a predetermined position on the home screen of the user terminal 200, the list screen 70 of the security application, or the like, and deleted after a predetermined time has elapsed.

[0144] In the above embodiment, when the received schedule signal is an additional notification, the user terminal 200 transitions to the chat screen 80 of the individual area Ai corresponding to the additional notification and displays the dialogue 51. However, the dialogue 51 may be displayed on a screen (such as the list screen 70) other than the chat screen 80 of the security application. Also, when the user is displaying a chat screen 80 of an individual area Ai other than the individual area Ai corresponding to the received schedule signal (additional notification), the dialogue 51 may be displayed on the other chat screen 80.

[0145] In the above embodiment, when displaying the dialog 51 upon receiving an additional notification, the user terminal 200 may include a wording indicating the individual area Ai in the message and highlight the wording (in bold, in a different color, etc.).

[0146] In the above embodiment, the user terminal 200 changes the display process depending on whether the schedule signal is a fixed notification or an additional notification. However, the display process may be changed based on criteria other than the fixed notification / additional notification. For example, the user terminal 200 may additionally display a common notification message sent to all users (all user terminals 200) on the chat screen 80, and temporarily display an additional notification message sent to an individual user (some user terminals 200). For example, a message corresponding to a notification sent only to users in the security target T (individual area Ai) may be temporarily displayed, and a message corresponding to a notification sent to all users who use the security target T (individual area Ai) may be displayed so as to be viewable as a history on the chat screen 80. In addition to this, for example, a notification sent only to the administrator and a notification sent to all users (employees) may be displayed differently in a similar manner.

[0147] In the above embodiment, the fixed notification and the additional notification are both transmitted from the security device 100, but they may be transmitted from different devices. For example, the fixed notification may be transmitted from the security device 100, and the additional notification may be transmitted from the center server 300.

[0148] In the above embodiment, one fixed notification is set for one scheduled set time, whereas multiple additional notifications are set for one scheduled set time, but this is not limited to this. For example, multiple fixed notifications may be set, and one additional notification may be set.

[0149] In the above-described embodiment, the fixed notification may be displayed temporarily by the dialog 51 or the like in addition to displaying a message on the chat screen 80, similar to the additional notification.

[0150] In the above embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to a security system including the security device 100 has been shown, but the present invention may be applied to other systems. For example, the present invention may be used when a system history in a monitoring system that monitors the behavior and activities of a user in the home is displayed on a chat screen of a user terminal 200 of a family member (e.g., a child) of a user (e.g., an elderly person) to be monitored. Specifically, in the monitoring system, the display method is changed when, for example, a notification of the time to take medicine, a notification of whether the user has taken medicine, or a notification of wake-up / sleep time is fixed / additionally performed. Whether or not the medicine has been taken may be detected by a sensor mounted on a pill case, for example, or based on a button operation performed by the person taking the medicine. Sleep / wake-up can be detected by a bed sensor or the like.

[0151] More specifically, when a certain elderly person is watched by a plurality of users (family members), if there are fixed notifications set by the monitoring center or the family representative and additional notifications additionally set by individual users for the time to take medicine or the time to go to bed / wake up, the display process can be changed depending on whether the received schedule signal is a fixed notification or an additional notification, as in the above-mentioned embodiment. In addition, in the same manner as in the case where the fixed time guidance is notified when the predetermined monitoring mode (alert mode) is not set at the above-mentioned predetermined time, the monitoring system may also notify the fixed time guidance when the user to be watched is not in a predetermined monitoring state even at a predetermined time. For example, when it is detected that the user to be watched has not taken medicine and has not taken it even at a predetermined time, or has not woken up even at a predetermined time, the monitoring device may provide fixed time guidance (notifying that it is time to take medicine or to wake up) via a speaker or display. Then, the fixed notification may be set to be transmitted in conjunction with the fixed time guidance, and the family or the like may be able to set additional notifications separately from that.

[0152] Among the inventions described in the claims of this application, the invention described as a "display method" has each step automatically performed by at least one device such as a computer through information processing by software, and is not performed by a human using a device such as a computer. In other words, the "display method" is an information processing method by computer software, and is not a method in which a human operates a calculation tool called a computer.
