[0008] [Figure 1] This is a diagram illustrating the configuration of a fire alarm system according to an embodiment. [Figure 2] This figure illustrates an example of the display on a fire alarm receiver and a portable terminal of a fire alarm system according to an embodiment. [Figure 3] This is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the fire alarm receiver according to the embodiment. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit of the invention. Furthermore, the present invention includes all possible combinations of the configurations shown in the following embodiments. In addition, the apparatus shown in the drawings is an example of the apparatus of the present invention and the apparatus of the present invention is not limited by the apparatus shown in the drawings. Furthermore, in each figure, parts denoted by the same reference numerals are the same or equivalent, and this is common throughout the entire specification.

[0010] Embodiment. Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of a fire alarm system 100 according to an embodiment. The fire alarm system 100 comprises a fire receiver 1, fire detectors 3 and transmitters 4 connected to the fire receiver 1 via a detector line 2, a display unit 5 connected to the fire receiver 1 via a display unit line 6, and a portable terminal 7. The fire receiver 1 and the portable terminal 7 are connected via communication. The fire receiver 1, transmitters 4 and display unit 5 are an example of a fire alarm system equipped with an operation unit and a display unit. Note that the number of detector lines 2 and display unit lines 6 shown is an example and is not limited to those shown.

[0011] The fire detector 3 is, for example, a heat detector, a smoke detector, or a flame detector. When the fire detector 3 detects a change in the physical phenomenon caused by a fire, it changes the open / closed state of the contacts connected to the detector circuit 2, thereby changing the voltage of the detector circuit 2. The fire alarm receiver 1 monitors the voltage of the detector circuit 2 and acquires (receives) the voltage change caused by the fire detector 3 changing the open / closed state of the contacts as a fire alarm signal. In this embodiment, an example is described in which the fire alarm receiver 1 is a P-type fire alarm receiver that uses a voltage change, which is a signal common to each fire detector 3, as an alarm signal, but the fire alarm receiver 1 may be an R-type fire alarm receiver.

[0012] The transmitter 4 is a device that transmits a fire signal to the fire alarm receiver 1 when a person who has discovered a fire presses a push button on its control panel. When the push button is pressed, the voltage of the detector circuit 2 connected to the fire alarm receiver 1 changes. The fire alarm receiver 1 monitors the voltage of the detector circuit 2 and acquires (receives) the voltage change caused by the pressing of the push button as a fire signal. The transmitter 4 is also equipped with an indicator light to show the presence of the transmitter 4.

[0013] The display unit 5 is a device that displays information related to the detector circuit 2 from which an alarm signal was generated. The display unit 5 is connected to the fire alarm receiver 1 via the display unit circuit 6, and acquires information related to the alarm signal or the detector circuit 2 from which the alarm signal was generated from the fire alarm receiver 1, and displays the information indicating that detector circuit 2 on the display unit. For example, the display unit 5 has indicator lights corresponding to each of the detector circuits 2, and lights up the indicator light corresponding to the detector circuit 2 from which the alarm signal was generated. Alternatively, the display unit 5 is equipped with a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display and displays the detector circuit 2 from which the alarm signal was generated. The display unit 5 may also be equipped with hardware buttons or a touch panel as an operation unit to stop the sound of the sound device that signals the occurrence of a fire.

[0014] In addition to the fire detector 3, transmitter 4, and display unit 5, the fire alarm receiver 1 may also be connected to alarm devices such as bells, buzzers, or lights, smoke control devices such as fire doors or shutters, or fire extinguishing equipment.

[0015] The fire alarm receiver 1 comprises a control unit 10, a transmission circuit 11, a transmission circuit 12, an operation unit 13, a display unit 14, a camera 15, a human recognition means 16, a communication unit 17, and a storage unit 18.

[0016] When the control unit 10 receives an alarm signal from the fire detector 3, it activates a bell, alarm device, smoke control device, or fire extinguishing equipment. When the bell or alarm device signals the occurrence of a fire, the administrator of the fire receiver 1 visually confirms whether or not a fire has occurred. After confirming that a fire has occurred, the administrator presses the push button on the transmitter 4, and the fire receiver 1, upon receiving the fire signal from the transmitter 4, determines that a fire has occurred. Alternatively, the occurrence of a fire may be determined if alarm signals are transmitted from multiple fire detectors 3 to a single detector circuit 2.

[0017] In addition, the control unit 10 periodically transmits a request signal to the fire detector 3 to request the transmission of an analog value. The fire detector 3 transmits an analog value in response to the request signal. The period for requesting an analog value from the fire detector 3 may vary depending on the type of the fire detector 3 such as smoke, heat, or flame, or may vary depending on the installation location of the fire detector 3.

[0018] The control unit 10 is composed of a dedicated control circuit, or a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that executes a program stored in a memory, or a combination of these. When the control unit 10 is a CPU, each function executed by the control unit 10 is realized by software, firmware, or a combination of software and firmware. In the memory provided in the control unit 10, a table associating each of the sensor lines 2 with information indicating the laying location of the sensor line 2 is stored.

[0019] The transmission circuit 11 is provided for each of the sensor lines 2 to which the fire detector 3 and the transmitter 4 are connected, receives the alarm signal from the sensor line 2 and the fire signal from the transmitter 4, and sends the received signals to the control unit 10.

[0020] The transmission circuit 12 is provided corresponding to the display line 6 to which the display unit 5 is connected. The transmission circuit 12 sends information regarding the sensor line 2 in which the alarm signal or the fire signal output from the control unit 10 has occurred to the display unit 5.

[0021] The operation unit 13 includes a hardware button provided on the housing of the fire receiver 1 and a touch panel provided overlapping the display of the display unit 14. The operation unit 13 receives an operation from the user and sends a signal corresponding to the operation to the control unit 10. A nameplate indicating the function of the button is provided on the hardware button provided on the operation unit 13.

[0022] The display unit 14 includes a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, or a lamp provided in the housing of the fire alarm receiver 1. The display unit 14 displays the detector line 2 or the fire detector 3 for which an alarm signal has been generated. The display unit 14 of the present embodiment displays information indicating an operation location on the touch panel of the operation unit 13.

[0023] The camera 15 includes, for example, a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, a CMOS (Complementary Metal - Oxide - Semiconductor) image sensor, etc., and is a device that captures images using an image capturing element. The camera 15 is installed at a position where it can capture the front of the operation unit 13. In the present embodiment, an example is shown where the camera 15 is built into the housing of the fire alarm receiver 1, but the installation location of the camera 15 is not limited to this. The camera 15 may be externally attached to the housing of the fire alarm receiver 1, or may be installed at a location separate from the fire alarm receiver 1. The captured data captured by the camera 15 is input to the human recognition means 16. Here, the captured data refers to an aggregate of images captured by the camera 15.

[0024] The human recognition means 16 recognizes whether or not there is a person in the captured data based on the captured data obtained from the camera 15. Since the camera 15 captures the front of the operation unit 13, the human recognition means 16 recognizes the presence of a person in front of the operation unit 13. The human recognition means 16 has, for example, a database of information regarding a person's face, and collates the feature points included in the image of the captured data with the database to recognize whether or not a person's face exists in the image. The human recognition means 16 has a memory for storing the database and a dedicated circuit for recognizing a person. The human recognition means 16 may be provided as a separate unit from the fire alarm receiver 1, and in this case, the recognition result of the human recognition means 16 is input to the control unit 10 of the fire alarm receiver 1.

[0025] The communication unit 17 is a communication circuit that communicates with the mobile terminal 7. The communication unit 17 transmits the signal output from the control unit 10 to the mobile terminal 7 and receives the signal transmitted from the mobile terminal 7.

[0026] The storage unit 18 is an internal memory, an external storage medium such as a memory card, or a combination thereof. The storage unit 18 stores additional information 81, which will be described later.

[0027] The mobile terminal 7 comprises a control unit 70, a display device 71, an input unit 72, and a communication unit 73. The mobile terminal 7 is a portable information processing device such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop computer.

[0028] The control unit 70 displays the information received by the communication unit 73 from the fire alarm receiver 1 on the display device 71. The display on the display device 71 will be described later. The control unit 70 also transmits signals based on inputs to the input unit 72 to the fire alarm receiver 1 via the communication unit 73. The control unit 70 is composed of a dedicated control circuit, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that executes a program stored in memory, or a combination of these. If the control unit 70 is a CPU, each function executed by the control unit 10 is realized by software, firmware, or a combination of software and firmware.

[0029] The display device 71 is a device that displays information to the user using the mobile terminal 7. The display device 71 is, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display.

[0030] The input unit 72 is a device that receives operation input from a user using the mobile terminal 7. The input unit 72 is, for example, a touch panel or a hardware button.

[0031] The communication unit 73 is a communication circuit that communicates with the fire alarm receiver 1. The communication unit 73 transmits signals output from the control unit 70 to the fire alarm receiver 1 and receives signals transmitted from the fire alarm receiver 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, the fire alarm system 100 displays images of the operation unit 13 and display unit 14 of the fire alarm receiver 1, along with additional information related to the operation unit 13 and display unit 14, on a portable terminal 7. A user operating the fire alarm receiver 1 holds the portable terminal 7 and refers to the images of the operation unit 13 and display unit 14 and the additional information displayed on the portable terminal 7 to confirm or operate the fire alarm receiver 1. In other words, the portable terminal 7 functions as a guide when confirming or operating the fire alarm receiver 1. A detailed explanation follows below.

[0033] Figure 2 illustrates an example of the display on the fire alarm receiver 1 and the portable terminal 7 of the fire alarm system 100 according to an embodiment. Figure 2(A) shows an example of the appearance of the display unit 14 and the operation units 13A and 13B of the fire alarm receiver 1, and Figure 2(B) shows an example of the display on the display device 71 of the portable terminal 7.

[0034] As shown in Figure 2(A), the fire alarm receiver 1 comprises a display unit 14 and operation units 13A and 13B. Operation units 13A and 13B are concrete implementations of the operation unit 13 shown in Figure 1. Operation unit 13A is a touch panel, and operation unit 13B is a hardware button. In the following, when it is not necessary to distinguish between operation unit 13A and operation unit 13B, they will simply be referred to as operation unit 13. The characters or diagrams displayed on the display unit 14 are schematically represented by "X". The characters or diagrams on the nameplates displayed on operation units 13A and 13B are also schematically represented by "X".

[0035] As shown in Figure 2(B), the display device 71 of the mobile terminal 7 displays the image 80 and additional information 81.

[0036] Image 80 shows the external appearance of the display unit 14 and the operation unit 13 of the fire alarm receiver 1. Image 80 may be an image of the display unit 14 and the operation unit 13 taken in advance. Alternatively, if the mobile terminal 7 is equipped with a camera (not shown), an image of the display unit 14 and the operation unit 13 taken by this camera may be displayed in real time as image 80 on the display device 71.

[0037] The additional information 81 applies to either or both the display unit 14 and the operation unit 13. Specifically, the additional information 81 includes at least one of the following: the characters displayed on the display unit 14 displayed in another language, the characters on the nameplate of the operation unit 13 displayed in another language, detailed information about the display unit 14, and information regarding how to operate the operation unit 13. The detailed information about the display unit 14 includes supplementary explanations of the characters displayed on the display unit 14, points to check when the user is checking, or the order of operations. In Figure 2, the characters displayed in the additional information 81 are schematically shown as "Y". Note that the additional information 81 is not limited to text and may also be a diagram. In addition, the additional information 81 may have a hyperlink embedded in it so that an explanation page is displayed when the hyperlink is clicked.

[0038] The additional information 81 is pre-stored in the storage unit 18 of the fire alarm receiver 1, and when the conditions shown in Figure 3 (described later) are met, it is transmitted from the fire alarm receiver 1 to the mobile terminal 7 and can be displayed on the display device 71 of the mobile terminal 7. An example of operation will be described below.

[0039] Figure 3 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the fire alarm receiver 1 according to the embodiment. Referring to Figure 3, the operation of the fire alarm receiver 1 to display additional information 81 on the display device 71 of the mobile terminal 7 will be explained. It is assumed that communication between the fire alarm receiver 1 and the mobile terminal 7 has been established in advance.

[0040] If the user of the mobile terminal 7 wants to display additional information 81 on the display device 71, they operate the input unit 72 to send a display request signal to the fire alarm receiver 1 requesting the display of additional information 81.

[0041] (S1) It is determined whether or not a display request signal for additional information 81 transmitted from the mobile terminal 7 has been received. If a display request signal for additional information 81 has been received (S1: YES), the process proceeds to step S2; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S4.

[0042] (S2) It is determined whether the first condition is met. Here, the first condition is a condition for determining whether or not to allow the display of additional information 81 on the mobile terminal 7. By displaying the additional information 81 on the mobile terminal 7 only when the first condition is met, even if the additional information 81 contains information that should not be unnecessarily disclosed, such as information specific to the building where the fire alarm receiver 1 is installed, the additional information 81 can be displayed only on a specific mobile terminal 7. This enhances security regarding the display of additional information 81.

[0043] The first example of the first condition is the distance between the fire alarm receiver 1 and the mobile terminal 7. The first condition is met when the distance between the fire alarm receiver 1 and the mobile terminal 7 is below a threshold. In other words, additional information 81 will be displayed on the mobile terminal 7 that is within a predetermined range (threshold) from the fire alarm receiver 1. The distance between the fire alarm receiver 1 and the mobile terminal 7 can be detected using GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers installed in both the fire alarm receiver 1 and the mobile terminal 7. Alternatively, if the fire alarm receiver 1 and the mobile terminal 7 communicate wirelessly using WiFi or Bluetooth®, the distance between the fire alarm receiver 1 and the mobile terminal 7 can also be detected using the signal strength of these wireless signals.

[0044] A second example of the first condition is the presence or absence of a person in front of the control unit 13 of the fire alarm receiver 1. The first condition is met when a person is detected by the camera 15 and the person recognition means 16. That is, when a person is in front of the control unit 13 of the fire alarm receiver 1, the additional information 81 will be displayed on the mobile terminal 7. Note that the distance between the fire alarm receiver 1 and the mobile terminal 7 and the presence or absence of a person may also be combined.

[0045] A third example of the first condition is authentication using a password. The first condition is met when the fire alarm receiver 1 receives a predetermined password from the mobile terminal 7.

[0046] (S3) Additional information 81 is transmitted from the fire alarm receiver 1 to the mobile terminal 7. If the additional information 81 includes information in multiple languages, the user may be allowed to select which language's information to display. For example, before transmitting the additional information 81 to the mobile terminal 7 in step S3, the fire alarm receiver 1 sends a signal to the mobile terminal 7 requesting the selection of a display language, and the mobile terminal 7 displays a question such as "Which language would you like to display: English, Chinese, or Spanish?". When the user selects a language by operating the input unit 72 of the mobile terminal 7, a signal specifying the selected language is transmitted from the mobile terminal 7 to the fire alarm receiver 1. The fire alarm receiver 1 then transmits the information of the selected language as additional information 81 to the mobile terminal 7 from among the information of multiple languages ​​stored in the storage unit 18. The display language may be automatically selected based on the language settings configured on the mobile terminal.

[0047] (S4) It is determined whether or not an input signal to the fire alarm receiver 1 transmitted from the mobile terminal 7 has been received. In this embodiment, operation input can be made to the fire alarm receiver 1 from the mobile terminal 7. That is, by operating the input unit 72 while looking at the display device 71 of the mobile terminal 7, input can be made to the operation unit 13 of the fire alarm receiver 1 without the user actually operating the operation unit 13. The presence or absence of this input signal to the fire alarm receiver 1 is determined. If an input signal to the fire alarm receiver 1 is received (S4: YES), the process proceeds to step S5; if it is not received (S4: NO), the process returns.

[0048] (S5) It is determined whether the second condition is met. Here, the second condition is a condition for determining whether to accept the input signal from the mobile terminal 7 to the fire alarm receiver 1 as an operation to the fire alarm receiver 1. By accepting the input signal from the mobile terminal 7 to the fire alarm receiver 1 only when the second condition is met, it is possible to prevent the fire alarm receiver 1 from being unintentionally operated by the mobile terminal 7. This enhances security regarding the operation of the fire alarm receiver 1.

[0049] The specific examples of the second condition are the same as the first, second, and third examples of the first condition, and no repeated explanations will be given for each. The first and second conditions may be the same or different. If the first and second conditions are the same, and the first condition is satisfied in step S2, the process of checking whether the second condition is satisfied in step S5 may be omitted.

[0050] (S6) The fire alarm receiver 1 receives an input signal transmitted from the mobile terminal 7 and performs an operation based on this input signal.

[0051] As described above, the fire alarm system 100 of this embodiment comprises a fire alarm receiver 1, which is a fire alarm device equipped with a display unit 14 and an operation unit 13, and a portable terminal 7 that communicates with the fire alarm receiver 1. The portable terminal 7 is equipped with a display device 71 that displays images 80 of the display unit 14 and operation unit 13 of the fire alarm receiver 1, along with additional information 81 for either or both of the display unit 14 and the operation unit 13. Therefore, a user monitoring or operating the fire alarm receiver 1 can easily monitor or operate the fire alarm receiver 1 by referring to the additional information 81 displayed on the portable terminal 7. Thus, it is possible to suppress monitoring or operating errors by the user of the fire alarm receiver 1 and improve the speed of monitoring and operation. Furthermore, since the portable terminal 7 can also be used for training on monitoring and operating the fire alarm receiver 1, it is possible to efficiently improve the user's proficiency.

[0052] Furthermore, in the fire alarm system 100 of this embodiment, the display device 71 of the mobile terminal 7 displays information regarding the operation unit 13B, which is a hardware button of the fire alarm receiver 1, as additional information 81. While the nameplates of the hardware buttons of the fire alarm receiver 1 are generally fixed in appearance by printing or engraving, the display of additional information 81 on the mobile terminal 7 enhances the reliability of monitoring and operating the fire alarm receiver 1, even for users unfamiliar with it.

[0053] Furthermore, the display device 71 of the mobile terminal 7 in this embodiment displays either or both of the following as additional information 81: the language of the characters displayed on the display unit 14 of the fire alarm receiver 1, and the language of the information related to the operation unit 13. Therefore, even if a user monitoring or operating the fire alarm receiver 1 is unfamiliar with the display language of the display unit 14 or the operation unit 13 of the fire alarm receiver 1, the display of a familiar language as additional information 81 enhances the reliability of monitoring and operating the fire alarm receiver 1.

[0054] Furthermore, the display device 71 of the mobile terminal 7 in this embodiment displays additional information 81 when the distance between the fire alarm receiver 1 and the mobile terminal 7 is below a threshold. Since the additional information 81 is displayed on the mobile terminal 7 when the user using the mobile terminal 7 is at a distance below the threshold from the fire alarm receiver 1, the additional information 81 can be delivered to users who are actually near the fire alarm receiver 1 and need the additional information 81. In addition, the additional information 81 is not displayed on the mobile terminal 7 that is located beyond the threshold distance from the fire alarm receiver 1, thus preventing unintended leakage of the additional information 81.

[0055] Furthermore, the fire alarm system 100 of this embodiment includes a camera 15 that photographs the area in front of the operation unit 13 of the fire alarm receiver 1, and a person recognition means 16 that recognizes the presence of a person in front of the operation unit 13 of the fire alarm receiver 1 based on the photographic data obtained from the camera 15. The display device 71 of the mobile terminal 7 displays additional information 81 when the person recognition means 16 recognizes the presence of a person. Since the additional information 81 is displayed on the mobile terminal 7 when a person is near the operation unit 13 of the fire alarm receiver 1, unintended leakage of the additional information 81 can be suppressed.

[0056] Furthermore, when the additional information 81 is displayed on the mobile terminal 7, this fact may also be displayed on the display unit 14 of the fire alarm receiver 1. In this way, even if an unexpected third party is viewing the additional information 81 via the mobile terminal 7, the user monitoring the fire alarm receiver 1 in front of it will be able to notice this, thereby preventing the information from being leaked to a third party.

[0057] Furthermore, the fire alarm system 100 of this embodiment includes a camera 15 that photographs the area in front of the operation unit 13 of the fire alarm receiver 1, and a person recognition means 16 that recognizes the presence of a person in front of the operation unit 13 of the fire alarm receiver 1 based on the photographic data obtained from the camera 15. The mobile terminal 7 transmits an input signal to the fire alarm receiver 1, and the fire alarm receiver 1 accepts the input signal transmitted from the mobile terminal 7 when the person recognition means 16 recognizes the presence of a person. Since the fire alarm receiver 1 accepts the input signal from the mobile terminal 7 when a person is near the operation unit 13 of the fire alarm receiver 1, it is possible to prevent unintended operation of the fire alarm receiver 1 by a user who is located far away from the fire alarm receiver 1.

[0058] [Variations of Fire Alarm System 100] The following describes modified versions of the fire alarm system 100 of this embodiment. In the following description, components that are the same as those described in the embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0059] (Method for obtaining additional information 81 using mobile terminal 7) In the embodiment, it was explained that the storage unit 18 of the fire alarm receiver 1 stores additional information 81, and when the additional information 81 is displayed on the mobile terminal 7, the fire alarm receiver 1 transmits the additional information to the mobile terminal 7. However, the additional information 81 may be stored in the mobile terminal 7 in advance. The mobile terminal 7 then displays the additional information 81 stored in itself when the first condition in Figure 3 is met. Alternatively, the fire alarm system 100 may include a server that is communicated with the fire alarm receiver 1 and the mobile terminal 7, and the additional information 81 may be stored in this server. In this case, when the first condition in Figure 3 is met, the fire alarm receiver 1 sends a signal to the server instructing it to send the additional information 81 to the mobile terminal 7, and the server, upon receiving this signal, transmits the additional information 81 to the mobile terminal 7. Even with such a configuration, the same effects and advantages as in the embodiment can be obtained.

[0060] (Functions of the mobile device 7 for the fire alarm receiver 1) In this embodiment, it was explained that the mobile terminal 7 displays additional information 81 when the first condition is met, and the fire alarm receiver 1 accepts an input signal from the mobile terminal 7 when the second condition is met. However, the mobile terminal 7 may display additional information 81 regardless of whether the first condition is met or not. Furthermore, the fire alarm receiver 1 may not accept an input signal from the mobile terminal 7 regardless of whether the second condition is met or not, thereby more reliably preventing unintended remote control of the fire alarm receiver 1.

[0061] (Other examples of fire alarm systems) In the embodiment described, the fire alarm system to which the additional information 81 displayed on the mobile terminal 7 is the fire alarm receiver 1 was described. However, this fire alarm system may also be a display unit 5. In this case, the mobile terminal 7 displays the additional information 81 of the detector line 2 displayed on the display unit 5, such as information in other languages ​​or information regarding the installation location of the detector line 2. The mobile terminal 7 and the display unit 5 may communicate via the fire alarm receiver 1 or directly. The display of the additional information 81 on the mobile terminal 7 and the operation of the display unit 5 using the mobile terminal 7 are as described in the embodiment.

[0062] Furthermore, the fire alarm system may also be a transmitter 4 equipped with a display unit 14 and a camera 15. In this case, the portable terminal 7 displays additional information 81, such as instructions on how to operate a push button to be pressed by a person who discovers a fire, or cautionary information to prevent tampering. If the transmitter 4 is equipped with a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display as a display unit, it displays other languages ​​of the characters displayed on this display unit as additional information 81. The portable terminal 7 and the transmitter 4 may communicate via the fire alarm receiver 1 or directly. The display of additional information 81 on the portable terminal 7 and the operation of the transmitter 4 using the portable terminal 7 are as described in the embodiments.

[0063] (Example of display on mobile device 7) The display device 71 of the mobile terminal 7 may display images using AR (Augmented Reality) or projection AR.
