[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-075454 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] In large buildings, emergency response equipment such as not only fire extinguishers but also AEDs and stretchers are installed in preparation for emergencies. For example, when a fire breaks out, the person who discovers the fire searches for a fire extinguisher and performs initial firefighting. If someone suddenly falls ill, the person who discovers the fire uses an AED. If someone is injured, the person who discovers the fire uses a stretcher. The system described in Patent Document 1 can only detect the removal of a fire extinguisher in the event of a fire, but cannot detect the removal of other emergency response equipment. Furthermore, if someone suddenly falls ill and an AED is used, even if a member of the private fire brigade is notified of the occurrence of an emergency, the member of the private fire brigade will then contact a person in charge of responding to an emergency. As a result, the occurrence of an emergency is not promptly notified to the appropriate person in charge.

[0008] Therefore, an object of the present disclosure is to provide an emergency notification device, an emergency notification system, and an emergency notification method that can respond to the occurrence of multiple types of emergency events and quickly notify the appropriate person in charge of the occurrence of an emergency event.

[0053] The transmitter 24A transmits to the identified person in charge a signal notifying the person in charge of the emergency response equipment that has been taken out, the installation location of the emergency response equipment, and the identified event and task, which are included in the received signal.

[0054] FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the procedure of an emergency notification method performed by the emergency notification system of the second embodiment.

[0055] In step S101, the sensor 2 detects that the emergency response device has been taken out.

[0056] In step S102, the sensor 2 transmits a detection signal including a sensor ID to the device removal detection device 10 to notify that the emergency response device has been removed.

[0057] In step S103, the receiving unit 11 of the device removal detection device 10 receives a detection signal notifying that the emergency response device has been removed.

[0058] In step S104, the taken-out equipment identification unit 13 of the equipment take-out detection device 10 refers to the equipment management table stored in the equipment management table memory unit 14 to identify the emergency response equipment corresponding to the sensor ID included in the received signal and the installation location of the emergency response equipment.

[0059] In step S105, the transmitter 12 of the device removal detection device 10 transmits a signal notifying the identified emergency response device and the installation location of the emergency response device.

[0060] In step S106, receiving unit 21 of emergency notification device 20A receives a signal notifying the emergency response device and the installation location of the emergency response device.

[0061] In step S207, the emergency notification control unit 23A of the emergency notification device 20A refers to the emergency notification management table stored in the emergency notification management table memory unit 22 to identify the event, business, and person in charge corresponding to the emergency response equipment contained in the received signal.

[0062] In step S208, the transmitting unit 24A of the emergency notification device 20A transmits a signal to the smartphone 30 of the identified person in charge notifying the emergency response equipment and the installation location of the emergency response equipment contained in the received signal, as well as the identified event and task.

[0063] In step S209, the smartphone 30 of the person in charge receives a signal notifying the emergency response device, the installation location of the emergency response device, the event, and the task.

[0064] In step S210, the smartphone 30 of the person in charge displays the emergency response equipment included in the received signal, the installation location of the emergency response equipment, the event, and the task.

[0065] According to this embodiment, by using an emergency notification management table that defines, for each emergency response device, the event that causes the emergency response device to be taken out, the work performed by the emergency response device, and the person in charge of notifying the person that the emergency response device will be taken out, it is possible to quickly notify the appropriate person in charge of the event that causes the emergency response device to be taken out and the work performed by the emergency response device.

[0066] Embodiment 3 FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the configuration of an emergency notification system according to the third embodiment.

[0067] The emergency notification system of embodiment 3 in Figure 9 differs from the emergency notification system of embodiment 2 in Figure 6 in that the emergency notification device 20B of the emergency notification system of embodiment 3 in Figure 9 includes an event occurrence location map memory unit 26 and an event occurrence location estimation unit 25, and also includes a transmission unit 24B that differs from that of embodiment 2.

[0068] The event occurrence location estimation unit 25 estimates the event occurrence location based on the installation location of the emergency response equipment. The event occurrence location estimation unit 25 estimates the event occurrence location based on the installation location of the emergency response equipment and the installation locations of other emergency response equipment of the same type. The event occurrence location estimation unit 25 may estimate, as the event occurrence location, the area from the installation location of the emergency response equipment as the starting point to the installation location of the same type of emergency response equipment, and an area where no other emergency response equipment of the same type is installed. The event occurrence location estimation unit 25 creates an event occurrence location map representing the estimated event occurrence location, and stores it in the event occurrence location map storage unit 26.

[0069] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of an event occurrence location map.

[0070] If the sensor detects that fire extinguisher A has been removed, the location of the fire is estimated based on the locations of fire extinguishers A, B, C, and D.

[0071] Starting from fire extinguisher A, fire extinguisher B is detected in the positive direction of the X-axis, so the maximum value on the X-axis for the location of the incident is the position (X1) immediately before the installation location of fire extinguisher B. Starting from fire extinguisher A, no fire extinguishers are detected in the negative direction of the X-axis, so the minimum value on the X-axis for the location of the incident is the edge of the room (X2). Starting from fire extinguisher A, fire extinguisher C is detected in the positive direction of the Y-axis, so the maximum value on the Y-axis for the location of the incident is the position (Y1) immediately before the installation location of fire extinguisher C. Starting from fire extinguisher A, no fire extinguishers are detected in the negative direction of the Y-axis, so the minimum value on the Y-axis for the location of the incident is the edge of the room (Y2).

[0072] As a result, the area where X2≦x≦X1 and Y2≦y≦Y1 is estimated as the location where the event occurred.

[0073] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing another example of an event occurrence location map.

[0074] As in Fig. 10, the area where X2 ≦ x ≦ X1 and Y2 ≦ y ≦ Y1 is estimated as a candidate location for the occurrence of the event. In the example of Fig. 11, fire extinguisher E is present within the area where X2 ≦ x ≦ X1 and Y2 ≦ y ≦ Y1. Therefore, the area where X2 ≦ x ≦ X1 and Y2 ≦ y ≦ Y1, excluding the installation location of fire extinguisher E and the area outside the installation location of the fire extinguisher, is estimated as the location where the event occurred.

[0075] FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the procedure of an emergency notification method performed by the emergency notification system of the third embodiment.

[0076] In step S101, the sensor 2 detects that the emergency response device has been taken out.

[0077] In step S102, the sensor 2 transmits a detection signal including a sensor ID to the device removal detection device 10 to notify that the emergency response device has been removed.

[0078] In step S103, the receiving unit 11 of the device removal detection device 10 receives a detection signal notifying that the emergency response device has been removed.

[0079] In step S104, the taken-out equipment identification unit 13 of the equipment take-out detection device 10 refers to the equipment management table stored in the equipment management table memory unit 14 to identify the emergency response equipment corresponding to the sensor ID included in the received signal and the installation location of the emergency response equipment.

[0080] In step S105, the transmitter 12 of the device removal detection device 10 transmits a signal notifying the identified emergency response device and the installation location of the emergency response device.

[0081] In step S106, receiving unit 21 of emergency notification device 20B receives a signal notifying the emergency response device and the installation location of the emergency response device.

[0082] In step S207, the emergency notification control unit 23A of the emergency notification device 20B refers to the emergency notification management table stored in the emergency notification management table memory unit 22 to identify the event, business, and person in charge corresponding to the emergency response equipment contained in the received signal.

[0083] In step S307, the event occurrence location estimation unit 25 of the emergency notification device 20B estimates the event occurrence location based on the installation positions of the emergency response devices. The event occurrence location estimation unit 25 creates an event occurrence location map representing the estimated event occurrence location and stores it in the event occurrence location map storage unit 26.

[0084] In step S208, the transmitting unit 24A of the emergency notification device 20 transmits a signal to the smartphone of the identified person in charge notifying them of the emergency response equipment contained in the received signal, the identified event and task, and the URL of the event occurrence location map.

[0085] In step S209, the smartphone 30 of the person in charge receives a signal notifying the person in charge of the emergency response device, the event and task, and the URL of the event occurrence location map.

[0086] In step S210, the smartphone 30 of the person in charge displays the emergency response device, the event and task, and the event occurrence location map included in the received signal.

[0087] According to this embodiment, it is possible to estimate the location of an emergency event and notify a responsible person without using indoor positioning technology to detect the location of emergency response equipment.
