Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in the technology of Patent Document 1 above, although the user can grasp the current security mode via the homepage, for example, in an office or the like, when there are a plurality of security areas such as each floor and room, the display of the security mode is executed for each security area, so it is not possible to grasp the security modes of each security area at once.

[0005] In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a security system, a mobile terminal, a security device, a program, and a display method capable of easily making a user recognize information related to switching of security modes in a plurality of security areas constituting a security target.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, a mobile terminal according to an aspect of the present invention communicates with a security device capable of setting a security mode for each of a plurality of security areas constituting a security target, and is a mobile terminal capable of displaying a change history of the security mode by a user of the security target, and includes a display control means and a communication means. When the security device receives a switching request signal from the mobile terminal, it switches the security mode and transmits a mode switching signal indicating the switching result to the mobile terminal. The display control means includes an operation screen for receiving a switching operation of the security mode from a user, a chat screen for displaying a group of area messages including at least a switching message of the security mode switched based on the switching operation for each security area in time series, and a list of display columns corresponding to the security areas, and in each display column, information indicating the current security mode of each security area corresponding to each display column is displayed, and the list screen is switchably displayed. The communication means transmits the switching request signal of the security mode to the security device in response to the switching operation of the user on the operation screen. Further, the display control means switches the operation screen to the chat screen in response to the switching operation, and additionally displays, as the latest message, a mode switching message corresponding to the mode switching signal received from the security device on the chat screen.

[0007] Thereby, when the user switches the security mode in a plurality of security areas constituting the security target via the operation screen, the mobile terminal can easily make the user recognize information regarding the switching on both the list screen and the chat screen.

[0008] The security mode may include at least a warning mode for monitoring an intrusion abnormality in the security area. In this case, the display control means may switch the chat screen to the list screen when the switching result indicated by the mode switching signal is the warning mode.

[0009] As a result, when the user switches the security mode of the security area to the alert mode on the mobile terminal, it is unlikely that any operation will occur for that security area for some time. Therefore, the mobile terminal switches the chat screen to the list screen, enabling the user to check whether each security area is set to the alert mode on the list screen.

[0010] The security area may include a shared area containing the entrances and exits of the security target and individual areas outside the shared area. In this case, when the switching result indicated by the mode switching signal is the alert mode and the security modes of all the individual areas are switched to the alert mode by the switching, the display control means switches the operation screen to the list screen without going through the chat screen. When the security mode of any one of the individual areas is other than the alert mode due to the switching, the display control means may switch the operation screen to the list screen via the chat screen.

[0011] As a result, when the security modes of all the individual areas are switched to the alert mode, the mobile terminal can switch the security mode of the shared area to the alert mode (the final setting of the security target is possible). Thus, the mobile terminal can immediately display the list screen and enable the user to understand this. When there are individual areas other than the alert mode remaining, after allowing the user to confirm the switching result on the chat screen of the security area to be operated, the mobile terminal can enable the user to grasp the status of the security modes of the individual areas on the list screen.

[0012] When the security modes of all the individual areas are switched to the alert mode, the display control means may highlight the display column corresponding to the shared area among the display columns of the list screen switched from the operation screen.

[0013] As a result, the mobile terminal can prompt the user to switch the security mode of the shared area to the alert mode based on the fact that the security modes of all the security areas are switched to the alert mode. Highlighting means, for example, displaying a frame surrounding the display column, changing the characters in the display column to prominent characters such as bold characters, or coloring the entire display column.

[0014] The mobile terminal may further include a location information acquiring means for acquiring location information of the mobile terminal. In this case, when the switching operation is a switching operation to the security mode and the security modes of all the individual areas are switched to the security mode by the switching, and the acquired location information is not near the location information of the security target, the display control means may switch the operation screen or the list screen switched from the operation screen to the chat screen, and additionally display on the chat screen a message urging the user to move into the security target.

[0015] As a result, when the user's switching operation to the alert mode on the mobile device is a switching operation that leads to the completion of switching to alert mode for all individual areas, which is a prerequisite for switching to alert mode for the shared area, the switching operation is followed by a switching operation to alert mode for the shared area (final set operation for the guarded object).However, since performing this final set remotely from the guarded object should not be permitted for security reasons, if the user is remote, the user can be moved near the guarded object before performing the final set operation.

[0016] The security mode may include at least an alert mode for monitoring an intrusion abnormality in the security area and an alert release mode for canceling the monitoring. In this case, the display control means may switch the operation screen to the chat screen when the switching result indicated by the mode switching signal is the alert release mode. Also, the display control means may switch the operation screen to the list screen when the switching result indicated by the mode switching signal is the alert mode.

[0017] As a result, when the user switches the security mode of the security area to the disarm mode on the mobile terminal, since there may be some operation for the user to monitor the security area, the mobile terminal can switch to the chat screen of the security area and immediately display the chat screen for the user to check. Also, when the user switches the security mode of the security area to the alert mode, since it is unlikely that any operation will occur for that security area for some time, the operation screen is switched to the list screen, thereby enabling the user to grasp the setting status of the alert mode of each security area on the list screen including the security area to be operated on.

[0018] A security system according to another aspect of the present invention includes a security device capable of setting a security mode for each of a plurality of security areas constituting a security target, and a mobile terminal that communicates with the security device and can display a change history of the security mode by a user of the security target. When the security device receives a switching request signal from the mobile terminal, it switches the security mode and transmits a mode switching signal indicating the switching result to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal has a display control means and a communication means. The display control means includes an operation screen for receiving a switching operation of the security mode from the user, a chat screen for displaying a group of area messages including at least a switching message of the security mode switched based on the switching operation for each security area in time series, and a list screen for displaying a list of display columns corresponding to the security areas and displaying information indicating the current security mode of each security area corresponding to each display column in each display column, and can be switched and displayed. The communication means transmits the switching request signal of the security mode to the security device in response to the switching operation of the user on the operation screen. Further, the display control means switches the operation screen to the chat screen in response to the switching operation, and additionally displays, as the latest message, a mode switching message corresponding to the mode switching signal received from the security device on the chat screen.

[0019] A program according to another aspect of the present invention communicates with a security device capable of setting a security mode for each of a plurality of security areas constituting a security target, and causes a mobile terminal capable of displaying a change history of the security mode by a user of the security target to execute the program. When the security device receives a switching request signal from the mobile terminal, it switches the security mode and transmits a mode switching signal indicating the switching result to the mobile terminal. The program causes the mobile terminal to display a switching operation screen for receiving a switching operation of the security mode from the user, a chat screen for displaying in time series a group of area messages including at least switching message of the security mode switched based on the switching operation for each security area, and a list screen for displaying a list of display columns corresponding to the security areas, and displaying information indicating the current security mode of each security area corresponding to each display column in each display column, and to switchably display the screens, transmit the switching request signal of the security mode to the security device in response to the switching operation of the user on the operation screen, switch the operation screen to the chat screen in response to the switching operation, and add and display, as the latest message, a mode switching message corresponding to the mode switching signal received from the security device on the chat screen.

[0020] A display method according to another aspect of the present invention is a display method by a mobile terminal that communicates with a security device capable of setting a security mode for each of a plurality of security areas constituting a security target, and can display a change history of the security mode by a user of the security target. When the security device receives a switching request signal from the mobile terminal, it switches the security mode and transmits a mode switching signal indicating the switching result to the mobile terminal. The display method is performed by the mobile terminal to An operation screen for receiving a switching operation of the above security mode from the user, and a chat screen for displaying in time series a group of area messages including at least a switching message of the security mode switched based on the switching operation for each of the above security areas, and a list screen for displaying a list of display columns corresponding to the above security areas, and displaying information indicating the current security mode of each security area corresponding to each display column in each of the above display columns are switchably displayed. In response to the switching operation of the user on the above operation screen, the above switching request signal of the security mode is transmitted to the above security device. Switching the above operation screen to the above chat screen in response to the switching operation, and additionally displaying, as the latest message, a mode switching message corresponding to the above mode switching signal received from the above security device on the chat screen.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0023] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0024] [Configuration of the System] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a security system according to this embodiment.

[0025] As shown in the figure, this security system includes a security device 100, a user terminal 200, and a center server 300 of a security center.

[0026] The security device 100 is installed in a building (security target T) such as a corporate tenant building, monitors abnormalities of the security target T, and reports detected abnormalities to the security center. Although details will be described later, the security device 100 secures the security target T in a plurality of security modes (for example, a warning mode, a warning release mode, an in-room set mode, etc.).

[0027] The user terminal 200 is, for example, a terminal carried by an employee of a company residing in the building T to be guarded, and is a portable computer such as a smartphone, a mobile phone, or a tablet PC (Personal Computer). The user terminal 200 can be connected to a mobile network such as LTE (Long Term Evolution), 3G, or Wi-Fi.

[0028] The user terminal 200 can switch the security mode remotely from the security target T by communicating with the security device 100, and can display the change history of the security mode. The switching operation of the security mode is input on an application (hereinafter referred to as the "security application") installed in the user terminal 200 that provides security mode information and other security information.

[0029] Note that the security device 100 also has an operation unit (such as an operation panel) installed on the wall surface of each area in the building of the security target T. When the user is present in the building, the user can also switch the security mode by operating the operation unit. Depending on the operation target of the operation unit, for example, an authentication process of inserting an authentication card assigned to each user into the operation unit may be required. In this embodiment, the operation unit may also be referred to as the "main body operation unit" with respect to the user terminal 200 capable of remote operation.

[0030] The center server 300 is a server installed in a security center operated by a security company and can communicate with the security device 100 and the user terminal 200 via the Internet. There is a controller permanently stationed in the security center. When an abnormality notification is received from the security device 100, necessary measures such as dispatching security personnel to the security target of the security device 100 are taken.

[0031] In addition, the central server 300 stores information such as the location of the security target T and information about the users (companies, etc.) of the security contract customers living in the security target. For example, the central server 300 pairs the user terminals 200 of each company living in the security target T with the security devices 100 and stores the grouped information for each security target T for authentication. Also, the central server 300 stores the information grouped by pairing the authentication card in the same way as the user terminal 200.

[0032] The switching of the security mode is executed in the flow as shown in (1) to (8) of the figure. That is, (1) when the user terminal 200 requests the central server 300 to switch the security mode via the mobile network, (2) the central server 300 authenticates the user terminal 200 (the company to which it belongs), and if the authentication is successful, transfers the security mode switching request to the security device 100, thereby (3) requesting the security device 100 to switch the security mode. Then, (4) the security device 100 switches the security mode upon receiving the security mode switching request, and (5) notifies the central server 300 of the completion of the security mode switching.

[0033] And, (6) upon receiving the notification, the central server 300 requests the API for push notification on the Internet (for example, Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) or Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)) to push the notification of the completion of the mode switching. (7) Upon receiving the request, the API pushes the 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.

[0034] As described above, in the process of switching the security mode, since the center server 300 only mediates (and authenticates) the communication between the security device 100 and the user terminal 200, in this embodiment, actually, the communication mediated by the center server 300 is also omitted for the mediation process, and in some cases, it may be described as the communication between the security device 100 and the user terminal 200. Note that by giving part of the functions of the center server 300 to the security device 100, it may be configured to communicate between the security device 100 and the user terminal 200 without the mediation of the center server 300.

[0035] In this embodiment, 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 corresponding to the mode switching operation as a message on the chat screen. Further, the user terminal 200 can also display the 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 target T. Details of these display processes will be described later.

[0036] [Configuration of Security Device] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the security device 100. As shown in the figure, the security device 100 is composed of a main device 101 and various sensors 10 and 12, etc.

[0037] The intrusion monitoring sensor 10 is a sensor for detecting an intruder, such as a sensor for detecting the opening and closing of a door or window, a sensor for detecting the heat emitted by a human body as a heat source, and a sensor for detecting that infrared rays are blocked by a human body. This intrusion monitoring sensor is roughly classified into those installed in the outer peripheral area of the security target T and those installed in other areas. Further, the intrusion monitoring sensors installed in the outer peripheral area of the security target T are distinguished into those installed in the entrance and exit area and the others. The fire sensor 12 is a sensor for detecting heat and smoke accompanying the occurrence of a fire.

[0038] The main device 101 is composed of a control unit 110, a reporting unit 130, a notification unit 140, a display unit 150, an operation unit 160, and a communication interface (I / F) 170.

[0039] When an abnormality occurs, the reporting unit 130 reports to a security center (not shown) via a communication line. The notification unit 140 generates various notification sounds. The display unit 150 is composed of an LED (Light Emitting Diode), a liquid crystal display, etc., and performs various displays on the main device and outside the main device, respectively.

[0040] The communication I / F 170 is an interface for communicating with various sensors by wire or wirelessly. The communication I / F 170 also functions as an interface for performing wireless communication with a user terminal 200 as a remote operation unit for switching the security mode.

[0041] The operation unit 160 is composed of, for example, operation buttons, a touch panel, etc., and accepts user operations such as switching operations of the above security mode. When the operation unit 160 is a touch panel, the operation unit 160 can be integrated with the above display unit 150.

[0042] The operation unit 160 also has buttons used other than the switching operation of the security mode, such as an emergency reporting button that the user operates when attacked by an intruder or feels a physical abnormality, and a cancel operation button for canceling the abnormality when the user accidentally causes an abnormality.

[0043] The control unit 110 is composed of a processor, a memory, etc., and is a part that 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 time processing means 116, a mode setting means 118, etc. The mode storage means 112 stores each security mode together with their identification information, and stores information regarding 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 areas, address codes, etc. of various sensors, and stores the correspondence between the security mode and various sensors in a monitoring state. When a certain intrusion monitoring sensor detects, the intrusion monitoring sensor detection time processing means 116 performs an abnormality determination based on the current security mode stored in the mode storage means 112 and the content stored in the monitoring control information storage means 114, and outputs an abnormality signal, or determines and outputs a notification sound, etc. The mode setting means 118 executes the setting (switching) process of the above security mode based on a mode switching operation from the user by the operation unit 160 and the user terminal 200. When the mode setting means 118 changes the security mode, it stores the security mode of the switching destination as the current security mode in the mode storage means 112.

[0044] Although not shown in the figure, the main device 101 also stores a plurality of user terminals 200 that are paired with the security device 100 and set in a group, the above authentication card, and group setting information regarding the identification information (user name, user ID, etc.) of each of these users.

[0045] [Configuration of User Terminal] FIG. 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 that connects these to each other.

[0046] The CPU 21 appropriately accesses the RAM 23 or the like as necessary, and comprehensively controls the entire blocks of the user terminal 200 while performing various arithmetic processes. The ROM 22 is a non-volatile memory in which firmware such as an OS, programs, and various parameters to be executed by the CPU 21 are fixedly stored. The RAM 23 is used as a working area of the CPU 21 or the like, and temporarily holds the OS, various applications being executed, and various data being processed.

[0047] Connected to the input / output interface 25 are a display unit 26, an operation reception unit 27, a storage unit 28, a communication unit 29, and the like.

[0048] The display unit 26 is a display device using, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an OELD (Organic ElectroLuminescence Display), a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), or the like.

[0049] The operation reception unit 27 is, for example, a touch panel, buttons, keys, or other input devices. When the operation reception unit 27 is a touch panel, the touch panel can be integrated with the display unit 26.

[0050] The storage unit 28 is a non-volatile memory such as a flash memory (SSD; Solid State Drive), other solid-state memories, or an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). Stored in the storage unit 28 are the above-mentioned OS, various applications, and various data.

[0051] 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 includes an operation screen for receiving a switching operation of the security mode, a chat screen for displaying the switching result, and data (character information, image information, etc.) necessary for displaying a list screen and the like. And the CPU 21 functions as display control means for controlling the display switching processing of the operation screen, list screen, and chat screen and the display processing of messages. Further, the security application stores the current security mode of each security area set in the security device 100. Furthermore, the security application stores a message correspondence table in which the switching operation and switching processing of the security mode are associated with the messages displayed on the chat screen.

[0052] The communication unit 29 is various modules for wireless communication such as LTE and 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.

[0053] [Security Area] Next, a plurality of security areas of the security target T in this embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the security areas of the security target T. FIG. A in the figure is a diagram showing a partially transparent appearance of the security target T, and FIG. B in the figure is a floor plan of a floor where the security target T is located.

[0054] As shown in the figure, the security target T is, for example, a tenant building composed of multiple floors, and has a shared area As and a plurality of individual areas Ai as security targets.

[0055] The shared area As includes, for example, the entrances and exits of the security target T and is an area shared by each employee of the tenant company. The shared area As is usually provided on the first floor of the security target T, but may also be provided on the second floor or higher.

[0056] The individual area Ai is an area that each employee of the tenant company uses individually, and can be, for example, an office, a meeting room, a laboratory, etc. To enter the individual area Ai, the employee needs to pass through the shared area As.

[0057] The security device 100 can individually switch the security mode for each individual area Ai. To set the security mode of the shared area As to the alert mode, all the individual areas Ai need to be set to the alert mode. When the user of each individual area Ai sets the security mode of their own individual area Ai to the alert mode, if all other individual areas Ai are set to the alert mode, as the last person to leave the building, the user performs an operation to set the security mode of the shared area As (the entire security target) to the alert mode.

[0058] In addition, when a plurality of tenant companies are located in one security target T, the plurality of tenant companies each use one or more individual areas Ai and share the shared area As. In this case, the users of each tenant company cannot perform a switching operation of the security mode for the individual areas Ai where other tenant companies are located. When the security modes of all their own individual areas Ai and all the individual areas Ai of other tenant companies are set to the alert mode, the security mode of the shared area As is set to the alert mode.

[0059] In this embodiment, as will be described later, the user terminal 200 displays a list screen that displays in a list the display columns for displaying information regarding the security mode for each of the above individual areas Ai, and can switch the screen between the list screen, a chat screen that displays a message regarding the switching of the security mode of each individual area Ai, and an operation screen for performing an operation to switch the security mode.

[0060] [Type of security mode] Here, the types of security modes of the security device 100 will be described. In the present embodiment, the security device 100 has a warning mode, an in-room warning mode, and a warning cancellation (in-room) mode as security modes for each individual area Ai. In addition, the security device 100 has a warning mode and a warning cancellation mode as security modes for the shared area As.

[0061] The monitoring and emergency notification by the fire sensor 12 are performed regardless of the security mode. The occurrence of an abnormality 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.

[0062] The warning mode is a mode set when all users in the individual area Ai of the security target T leave the individual area Ai (leave the room), and when all users in all individual areas Ai leave the security target T (leave the building). In this mode, the monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 is performed by all the intrusion monitoring sensors 10 installed in the individual area Ai and the shared area As.

[0063] The in-room warning mode is a mode used when there is a user in the individual area Ai and it is desired to monitor for intrusion from the outside. In this mode, the monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensor 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, among all the intrusion monitoring sensors 10.

[0064] The warning cancellation mode is a mode used when the user in the individual area Ai is in the room. In this mode, monitoring by the intrusion monitoring sensor 10 is not performed. When the user switches the security mode of the individual area Ai to the warning cancellation mode, if the security modes of all the individual areas Ai of the security target T are set to the warning mode, the shared area As is also set to the warning mode. Therefore, the user first needs to switch the security mode of the shared area As to the warning cancellation mode and then switch the security mode of the individual area Ai to the warning cancellation mode.

[0065] [List screen, chat screen, and operation screen] As described above, in the present embodiment, the security application of the user terminal 200 displays a list screen that shows a list of information regarding the security mode for each of the above individual areas Ai, a chat screen that displays messages regarding the security mode of each individual area Ai in a chronological and interactive manner, and an operation screen that accepts a switching operation of the above security mode in a switchable manner.

[0066] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the list screen together with the appearance of the security target T in FIG. 4A above.

[0067] As shown in the figure, the list screen 70 displays a list of display columns 71 corresponding to the above shared area As and individual areas Ai. In the example of this figure, the display column 71 corresponding to the shared area As is displayed at the top, and the display columns 71 corresponding to the individual areas Ai are displayed below it. If there is no shared area As for the security target T, only a list of the individual areas Ai is displayed.

[0068] As the display column 71 corresponding to the individual area Ai, in addition to the display column 71 corresponding to the individual area Ai for which the user of the individual area Ai has the authority to switch the security mode, the display column 71 corresponding to the individual area Ai for which 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 at the bottom, for example. However, the display column for the security area without this operation authority is not for each security area, but when there are a plurality of security areas, a combined display column 71 is displayed, and in this display column 71, a message indicating whether all of the security areas without this operation authority are in the warning mode is displayed. Regarding this display column 71, the user cannot perform an operation.

[0069] Each display column 71 displays information including the area name 72 indicating the name of each security area, the security mode icon 73 that identifies the current security mode status of each security area in color (for example, the alert mode is blue and the de-alert mode is black), the latest message 74 regarding 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 for the display column 71 that collectively displays a plurality of security areas for which the user does not have the authority to switch the security mode, the latest message 74 regarding the security mode (for example, when all of the plurality of security areas have switched to the alert mode, the message "It has been set") and the information of the reception time 75 of the latest message 74 may also be displayed.

[0070] As will be described later, the latest message 74 regarding the security mode displayed in each display column 71 includes, in addition to the message indicating the current (after-switch) security mode of each security area, a message indicating a change in the security time.

[0071] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the above list screen 70 and an example of 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.

[0072] As shown in FIG. 6, when the user selects any display column 71 on the list screen 70 by tapping or the like, the screen switches to the chat screen of the individual area Ai or the shared area As corresponding to the selected display column 71. The chat screen 80 displays a group of area messages including switch messages corresponding to the switching of the security mode for each security area in chronological order.

[0073] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, on the chat screen 80, as switch messages, 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 corresponding to the mode switching operation (mode switching message 84) are distinguished in different areas (for example, the former is on the right side and the latter is on the left side) and displayed in chronological order in a dialogue format.

[0074] In FIG. 6, the latest message 74 displayed in the display column 71 of the list screen 70 corresponds to the mode switch message 84 displayed at the bottom of the chat screen 80.

[0075] As shown in FIG. 7, the chat screen 80 has a time axis from top to bottom, and older (messages with earlier reception times) are displayed higher up, while newer (messages with later reception times) are displayed lower down. Also, the latest message is always additionally displayed at the bottom, and among the messages before it, those that do not fit within the display range of the message display area can be scrolled down and displayed by the user flicking or swiping the message display area, for example, in the vertical direction.

[0076] Each mode operation message 83 and each mode switch message 84 include operator information, operation tools, and reception time (operation time) information in addition to the message body surrounded by a rectangular frame, at an adjacent position (for example, above it).

[0077] In the example of FIG. 7, in response to the cancellation of alert operation by Taro, who is the user of the user terminal 200, a mode operation message 83 indicating the operation and a mode switch message 84 indicating the switching result to the cancellation of alert mode in response to the operation are displayed.

[0078] Also, on the chat screen 80, it is possible to exchange normal messages among multiple users in the security area corresponding to the chat screen 80, and those messages are displayed as message 86.

[0079] Although not shown in the figure, when the user double-taps the chat screen 80, for example, at the bottom, a character input frame for the user to create a message and a character selection area such as a keyboard are displayed, enabling the input of messages.

[0080] Furthermore, notification messages from the security device 100 or the security system other than the switching of security modes by the security device 100 may also be displayed on the chat screen 80. Notification messages include, for example, messages 86 (such as a notification that an object has been detected) regarding equipment (temperature, doors, etc.) and sensors (safes, windows, etc.) in the security area corresponding to the chat screen 80 in the security off mode, as well as notices regarding crime prevention and disaster prevention information, but are not limited to these.

[0081] 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.

[0082] 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.

[0083] Further, for example, at the bottom of the chat screen 80, an operation menu button 81 and a setting menu button 82 are displayed.

[0084] 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.

[0085] 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.

[0086] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the operation screen.

[0087] 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 on the chat screen 80, for example.

[0088] 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.

[0089] The intra-zone area selection button 91 is a button for selecting, when an individual zone Ai is further divided into a plurality of areas and guarded by the plurality of areas, those areas as targets for a switching operation of the guard mode.

[0090] The status confirmation button 92 is a button for confirming the current security mode status of the individual area Ai.

[0091] 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.

[0092] 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.

[0093] 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.

[0094] 9 is a diagram showing an example of how the chat screen 80 is displayed when a security time change operation is input using the security time change button 96. As shown in the figure, in response to the tap operation, a security time operation message 88 indicating the operation and a security time change message 89 indicating the changed security time are displayed.

[0095] As described above, the latest messages 74 regarding security modes displayed in each display column 71 of the list screen 70 include messages indicating the current (switched) security mode for each security area, as well as messages indicating changes to the security time.

[0096] In other words, if the latest message added to and displayed on the chat screen 80 is a mode switching message 84 or a security time change message 89, the latest message 74 corresponding to that message is displayed in the display field 71 on the list screen 70 corresponding to the chat screen 80.

[0097] On one hand, when the latest message additionally displayed on the chat screen 80 is a normal message 86 from a user or the system rather than a mode switching message 84 or a security time change message 89, the message 86 is not displayed in the display column 71 of the list screen 70, and the display of the latest message among the messages corresponding to the mode switching message 84 or the security time change message 89 on the chat screen 80 is maintained as the latest message 74.

[0098] When each of the above various buttons is operated by the user, the user terminal 200 transmits a switching request signal to the security device 100 to switch to the corresponding security mode.

[0099] The operation screen 90 switches to the chat screen 80 by operating the operation menu button 81, and also switches to the chat screen 80 by operating a close button provided, for example, in the upper right corner.

[0100] When starting the security application or switching to the operation screen 90, a pop-up prompting the input of a password for user authentication is displayed, and when the user correctly inputs the password there, the operation of each mode setting button becomes effective. As the user authentication method, biometric authentication such as fingerprint can be used instead of the password. Also, user authentication may be performed when each mode setting button is pressed on the operation screen 90.

[0101] Also, when the security target T is composed of a plurality of buildings, the list screen 70 is prepared for each building, and above the list screen 70 for each building, a list screen 70 for selecting a building is provided as shown in FIG. 10.

[0102] When the upper list screen 70 has a display column 76 for each building, the display column 76 has a building name 77 indicating the name of the building, a security mode display icon 79 indicating the current security mode of the entire building, and a radio button 78 for selecting the list screen 70 corresponding to the building. The security mode display icon 85 is displayed in blue, for example, if the entire security area of the building is in the alert mode, and in black otherwise.

[0103] Furthermore, when a plurality of buildings as security targets T are divided and configured for each area, a list screen for selecting an area may be provided further above the list screen 70 corresponding to the building.

[0104] [Operation of Security System] Next, the operation of the security system configured as described above will be explained. 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 explanation, for convenience, the control unit 110 of the security device 100 and the security application or CPU 21 of the user terminal 200 are taken as the operating entities.

[0105] FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the flow of screen switching processing in the above security system. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of screen transition of the user terminal 200 when switching the security mode.

[0106] As shown in FIG. 11, first, the CPU 21 of the user terminal 200 starts the above security application based on the user's operation (step 111). When the security application starts, it displays the list screen 70 as the main screen (step 112).

[0107] Subsequently, the security application determines whether any of the display columns 71 has been pressed by the user on the list screen 70 (step 113).

[0108] When it is determined that any of the display fields 71 ​​has been pressed (Yes), the security application switches the list screen 70 to the chat screen 80 corresponding to the pressed display field 71 (step 114).

[0109] Next, the security application determines whether or not the user has pressed the operation menu button 81 on the chat screen 80 (step 115).

[0110] If it is determined that the operation menu button 81 has been pressed (Yes), the security application displays the operation screen 90 by superimposing it on the chat screen 80 (step 116).

[0111] Next, the security application determines whether or not a security mode switching operation has been input on the operation screen 90 (step 117).

[0112] When it is determined that a security mode switching operation has been input on the operation screen 90 (Yes), the security application transmits a switching request signal corresponding to the switching operation (step 118). The switching request signal includes user identification information of the user who is the operator of the user terminal 200, mode identification information indicating the security mode after switching, and information identifying the individual area Ai to which the security mode is to be switched.

[0113] In addition, in response to the input of the switching operation, the security application switches the operation screen 90 to the chat screen 80, and additionally displays a mode operation message 83 corresponding to the input mode switching operation (see the leftmost and second from the left diagrams in FIG. 12).

[0114] The security device 100 that has received the switching request signal switches the security mode based on the mode identification information included in the switching request signal (step 119). At this time, when switching to the security mode, the security device 100 checks the detection state of each intrusion monitoring sensor 10, and switches to the security mode only if none of the sensors are detecting anything and are in a normal state.

[0115] Subsequently, the security device 100 determines whether all individual areas Ai are set to the alert mode and whether it is necessary to set the shared area As to the alert mode (final setting) by switching this security mode (step 120).

[0116] If it is determined that the final setting is necessary (Yes), the security device 100 generates a mode switching signal including information regarding the final setting (step 121). The mode switching signal includes, in addition to the information regarding the final setting, mode identification information for identifying the security mode after switching, user identification information for identifying the operator who switched the security mode and included in the switching request signal, and information for identifying the individual area Ai that is the target of the security mode switching.

[0117] If it is determined that the final setting is not necessary (No), the security device 100 generates a mode switching signal that does not include information regarding the final setting (step 122).

[0118] Then, the security device 100 transmits the generated mode switching signal to the user terminal 200 (step 123).

[0119] The security application of the user terminal 200 that has received the mode switching signal determines whether the final setting is necessary based on the mode switching signal (step 124).

[0120] If it is determined that the final setting is necessary (Yes), the security application identifies the individual area Ai in which the security mode has been switched, the security mode after switching, and the operator from the mode switching signal (step 125).

[0121] Subsequently, the security application switches the chat screen 80 to the list screen 70 (step 126), and updates the display of the security mode icon 73 and the latest message 74 in the display column 71 corresponding to the individual area Ai in which the security mode has been switched (step 127) (see the rightmost figure in FIG. 12).

[0122] Furthermore, in the list screen 70, the security application highlights the display column 71 corresponding to the shared area As (step 128). Highlighting includes, for example, processing such as surrounding the display column 71 with a colored frame, changing the background color of the display column 71, coloring the area name, enlarging the characters, thickening the characters, etc., but is not limited to these. In the example of FIG. 12 (the rightmost figure), an example is shown in which the display column 71 of the shared area As is surrounded by a colored frame.

[0123] Thereby, based on the fact that the security modes of all the security areas have been switched to the alert mode, the security application can prompt the user to switch (finally set) the security mode of the shared area As to the alert mode.

[0124] On the other hand, if it is determined in step 124 that final setting is not necessary (No), the security application identifies the individual area Ai in which the security mode has been switched, the security mode after switching, and the operator from the above mode switching signal (step 129).

[0125] Subsequently, the security application generates a mode switching message 84 from the above identified information (step 130).

[0126] Then, the security application displays the generated mode switching message 84 on the chat screen 80 (step 131) (see the second figure from the right in FIG. 12).

[0127] [Summary] As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the user switches the security mode in a plurality of security areas of the security target T via the operation screen 90, the user can easily recognize the information related to the switching on both the chat screen 80 and the list screen 70 (on the chat screen 80, the information of each security area is detailed, and on the list screen 70, the security mode of the entire security target T is overviewed).

[0128] [Modification Example] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0129] In the above-described embodiment, the chat screen 80 was switched to the list screen 70 only when the final set was necessary, but it is not limited to this. For example, when the switching result of the mode switching signal is the release mode, the chat screen 80 is continuously displayed, and when the switching result of the mode switching signal is the warning mode (the set switching result of the warning mode of the individual area Ai that is not the final one), the chat screen 80 may be switched to the list screen 70.

[0130] Also, in the above-described embodiment, when a mode switching operation is input on the operation screen 90, the security application switches the screen from the operation screen 90 to the chat screen 80. However, the operation screen 90 is continuously displayed until a mode switching signal is received from the security device 100, and the screen to be switched from the operation screen 90 may be changed according to the switching result indicated by the received mode switching signal. For example, when the switching result is the release mode (when the user's switching operation is a release operation), the operation screen 90 is switched to the chat screen 80. On the other hand, when the switching result is the warning mode (when the user's switching operation is a warning setting operation), the operation screen 90 may be switched to the list screen 70 without switching to the chat screen 80.

[0131] Thereby, when there is a release operation from the user, since there may be some operation for monitoring the individual area Ai, the security application can switch to the chat screen 80 of the individual area Ai and immediately display the chat screen 80 for confirmation. On the other hand, when there is a warning setting operation from the user, it is unlikely that any operation will occur for the individual area Ai for some time. Therefore, the operation screen 90 is switched to the list screen 70, and thereby, the set status of each individual area Ai including the individual area Ai to be operated on the list screen 70 can be grasped.

[0132] In the above embodiment, the security application switches the screen when it receives the switching result of the received mode switching signal, but the screen may be switched when the user performs a mode switching operation. For example, when the user performs a security mode switching operation that requires a final setting (all individual areas Ai are set to security mode), as shown in the leftmost and second leftmost diagrams in FIG. 13, the operation screen 90 may be switched to the list screen 70 without passing through the chat screen 80.

[0133] The subsequent operation is similar to that in Figure 12 above, in which the display of the security mode icon 73 and latest message 74 in the display field 71 corresponding to the individual area Ai where the security mode has been switched is updated, and the display field 71 is highlighted (see the second figure from the right in Figure 13).

[0134] On the other hand, if the switching operation does not require a final set (the security mode of any individual area Ai is other than the alert mode), the security application may switch the operation screen 90 to the list screen 70 via the chat screen 80 (after displaying the mode operation message 83 and the mode switching message 84 on the chat screen 80).

[0135] As a result, when the security mode of all individual areas Ai has been switched to alert mode, the security application can switch the security mode of the shared area As to alert mode (allowing for a final set of security targets), and can immediately display the list screen 70 to let the user know this, and if there are any individual areas Ai remaining that are not in alert mode, the result of the switching can be confirmed on the chat screen 80 of the individual area Ai being operated, and then the security mode status of each individual area Ai can be understood on the list screen 70.

[0136] In addition, when a mode switching operation that requires a final setting is input, the security application may be configured to prevent remote switching operations. That is, the security application may obtain the location information of the user terminal 200 (e.g., GPS (Global Positioning System) information, base station information, etc.), and allow the user to perform the above mode switching operation only when the location information is within the building (or in the vicinity within a predetermined range) of the security target T. Alternatively, in this case, it may be controlled such that the final setting can be performed only from the main operation unit of the security device 100.

[0137] Specifically, as shown in the second figure from the right in FIG. 13, when the location information of the user terminal 200 is in the vicinity of the location information of the security target T, the security application, similar to the case of FIG. 12, updates the display of the security mode icon 73 and the latest message 74 in the display column 71 corresponding to the individual area Ai where the security mode has been switched, and highlights the display column 71.

[0138] On the other hand, as shown in the figure at the right end of FIG. 13, when the position information of the user terminal 200 is not in the vicinity of the position information of the security target T, the security application switches the list screen 70 switched from the operation screen 90 to the chat screen 80, and on the chat screen 80, a message prompting the user to move into the security target T (for example, "Please move into the building and then perform the setting operation.") may be additionally displayed. Alternatively, in this case, the security application may directly switch from the operation screen 90 to the chat screen 80 when the position information is not in the vicinity of the position information of the security target T. Note that the same control may be performed for the screen switching according to the switching result of the received mode switching signal in the above-described embodiment. That is, the user switches from the operation screen to the chat screen by a mode switching operation, and a final setting is required by the received mode switching signal. When the position information of the user terminal 200 is in the vicinity of the position information of the security target T, the screen is switched from the chat screen to the list screen, and a final setting is required. When the position information of the user terminal 200 is not in the vicinity of the position information of the security target T, a message prompting the user to move into the security target T may be additionally displayed.

[0139] As a result, when the switching operation of the security application to the user's alert mode leads to the completion of the switching to the alert mode of all individual areas Ai, which is a prerequisite for the switching to the alert mode of the shared area As, the switching operation to the alert mode of the shared area As (the final setting operation of the security target T) will be performed following the switching operation. However, since it should not be allowed for security reasons to perform the final setting remotely for the security target T, when the user is remote, the user can be moved near the security target T and then the final setting operation can be performed.

[0140] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the security application may switch the chat screen 80 after the above switching operation to the list screen 70 (for example, after displaying the mode switching message 84) not only when the user's mode switching operation is the final set operation, but also when the user sets the alert mode for the individual area Ai that is not the final one. In this case, the chat screen 80 is switched to the list screen 70 by the user's alert mode set operation, and the chat screen 80 continues to be displayed by the user's alert mode release operation.

[0141] As a result, when the user switches the security mode of an individual area Ai to the alert mode, since it is unlikely that any operations will occur in that individual area Ai for some time, the security application switches the chat screen 80 to the list screen 70 (after making the user aware of the mode switch via the mode switch message 84), thereby allowing the user to get an overview of the setting status of each individual area Ai on the list screen 70.

[0142] In the above embodiment, when the final set operation is input, the security application highlights the display field 71 corresponding to the shared area As on the list screen 70, but it is not necessary to highlight the display field 71. Furthermore, if there are many display fields 71 ​​on the list screen 70 and the user cannot check the display field 71 corresponding to the shared area As without scrolling, the security application may control the screen when transitioning to the list screen 70 so that the display field 71 corresponding to the shared area As is displayed in a prominent position such as at the top of the screen.

[0143] In the above embodiment, the security application judges whether or not a final set is required by checking whether or not information regarding the final set is included in the switching request signal received from the security device 100, as shown in Fig. 11. However, the security application may also judge whether or not a final set is required by checking the history of mode switching signals received from the security device 100 up to that point at the time of accepting a mode switching operation from the user, without waiting for a switching request signal from the security device 100, and by checking whether or not all individual areas Ai will be set to the alert mode when the individual area Ai is set to the alert mode by the mode switching operation.

[0144] In the above embodiment, the display positions of the display fields 71 ​​on the list screen 70 may be dynamically changed. For example, the display field 71 corresponding to the individual area Ai where the security mode has been switched and a new message has been received may be positioned at the top. However, even in this case, the display field 71 corresponding to the shared area As may be fixed to the top, for example.

[0145] Furthermore, each display field 71 may be displayed in the form of a floor map so that the arrangement of each display field 71 on the list screen 70 corresponds to the position of the individual area Ai on each floor of the security target T consisting of multiple floors.

[0146] In the above embodiment, the latest message 74 displayed in each display field 71 of the list screen 70 is a message related to switching of the security mode and changing of the security time, but is not limited thereto, and the latest message on the chat screen 80 may be displayed as the latest message 74. Also, the latest message 74 may be displayed in an abbreviated form.

[0147] In the above-described embodiment, each display column 71 of the list screen 70 displayed the reception time 75 of the latest message 74, but instead of the reception time, the time when the security area corresponding to the display column 71 switched to the current security mode (the reception time of the latest mode switching message 84 on the chat screen 80) may be displayed.

[0148] In the above-described embodiment, in the list screen 70, when there are a plurality of display columns 71 corresponding to the individual areas Ai for which the user does not have the mode switching operation authority, they are grouped and displayed as one, but they may be displayed for each individual area Ai.

[0149] In the above-described embodiment, the content of the mode switching message 84 displayed on the chat screen 80 may be set to be different depending on whether the user of the user terminal 200 is the operator of the security mode switching operation or not. For example, when the user is the operator, a mode switching message 84 with content such as "Please go home with peace of mind" that tells the user himself that the security device 100 (security system) has recognized the user's mode switching operation is displayed. On the other hand, when the user is not the operator, a mode switching message 84 with content such as "It has been set" that simply directly notifies the fact of the security mode switching may be displayed.

[0150] In the above-described embodiment, on the list screen 70 and the chat screen 80, the security mode display icon (list screen return button) 85 indicated the current security mode by the color of the icon, but the current security mode may be indicated by a change in characters such as "Alert" and "Released" or the pattern of the icon. For example, when the individual area Ai is further divided into a plurality of areas and is being secured, an icon capable of discriminating the security mode for each area may be displayed according to each security area, and the pattern of the icon may be changed according to the area or security area in which the security mode has been switched.

[0151] In the above-described embodiment, when the individual area Ai is further divided into a plurality of areas, the mode switching message 84 displayed on the chat screen 80 may be a message that specifies the area in which the security mode has been switched among the individual areas Ai, rather than a message regarding the entire individual area Ai such as "It has been set".

[0152] In the above-described embodiment, the operation screen 90 was superimposed on the chat screen 80, but the operation screen 90 may be displayed independently of the chat screen 80. Also, the operation screen 90 may be switchable not only from the chat screen 80 but also from the list screen 70. In that case, when the security mode icon 73 in each display column 71 of the list screen 70 is selected by tapping, an operation screen 90 related to the security area corresponding to the display column 71 may be displayed.

[0153] In the above-described embodiment, when switching to the security mode, if the security device is not in a normal state, it may transmit a signal including a notification that the mode cannot be switched to the user terminal, and the security application may display a message to that effect on the chat screen.

[0154] Among the inventions described in the claims of the present application, the invention described as "display method" is such that each step thereof is 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.
