Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a monitoring system that performs automatic notification from a central processing unit based on a non-stationary signal from a terminal.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, with the increase of theft crimes, the demand for surveillance systems in the residence has increased. Conventionally, this kind of monitoring system consists of a combination of a plurality of sensor terminals for detecting intruders and a central processing unit that issues an alarm, and the central processing unit accepts an unsteady state such as the occurrence of an intrusion from each sensor terminal. In addition, telephones that automatically report to an outside line telephone and can make a voice call with a central processing unit are becoming popular.
[0003]
Recently, a monitoring system having a simple call function (in-home interphone function) between each sensor terminal and the central processing unit has been proposed, and the configuration thereof will be described below.
[0004]
FIG. 20 is a system block diagram of this type of conventional monitoring system, where 1 is a central processing unit and 2 or 3 is a terminal. Communication between the central processing unit 1 and the terminal 2 or 3 is performed by wireless communication means described later.
[0005]
FIG. 21 is an internal block diagram of the central processing unit 1. 4 is a data communication means, 5 is a voice communication means for modulating and demodulating voice and communicating, and 6 is a public line for receiving the output from the data communication means 4 and connecting to the external line telephone and connecting the voice communication means 5 to the public line Connection means. 7 is an external line connection unit for connecting to a telephone line, and 8 is a setting unit for setting the operation of the entire central processing unit 1 (not shown). A plurality of switches and buttons for setting are arranged. It is used when setting or canceling the alert mode by operation or inputting the telephone number of the outside telephone. 9 is a voice output means for amplifying the voice output from the voice communication means 5, 10 is a voice input means for transmitting voice from the central processing unit to the terminal unit, and 59 is a control means for controlling each of the above-mentioned means. is there.
[0006]
FIG. 22 is an internal block diagram of the terminal 2 or 3. 11 is an intrusion detection means (not shown), which is provided with an infrared light receiving / emitting section, which detects an unsteady state according to a change in infrared output emitted to 1 to 3 m around the terminal 2 or 3. It is. In other words, by installing this terminal near the window in the house or in the living room, it is possible to detect an intrusion into the house from the outside.
[0007]
A terminal control unit 12 transmits a non-stationary signal from the intrusion detection means 11, that is, information that an intrusion has occurred, to the central processing unit 1 by wireless using the data communication means 13 together with its own terminal unit code. To do. An audio communication unit 14 communicates an audio signal with the central processing unit 1. An audio output unit 15 amplifies the audio signal received and demodulated by the audio communication unit 14. Reference numeral 16 denotes voice input means, whereby the voice around the terminal 2 is collected, modulated by the voice communication means 14 and transmitted to the central processing unit 1.
[0008]
The operation will be described based on the above configuration. When the user goes out, the warning operation is started by setting the warning mode by the setting unit 8 of the central processing unit 1. Intrusion detection means 9 operates when there is an intrusion into the house from the outside of the window or living room where the terminal 2 or 3 is installed during the warning operation, and the data communication means 13 in the terminal 2 or 3 is operated. Thus, a signal indicating occurrence of an unsteady state is output. Upon receiving this signal, the data communication means 13 transmits a signal to the data communication means 4 of the central processing unit 1. This signal first sequentially transmits an address code of its own terminal and a status code indicating that an intrusion has occurred. In the central processing unit 1, the data communication means 4 of the central processing unit 1 receives this transmission signal, determines from which terminal the signal is from, and further receives a signal indicating that an intrusion has occurred. Based on this signal, the public line connection means 6 operates, and the external line connection unit 7 notifies the name of the location where the intrusion has occurred on the telephone or mobile phone outside the house corresponding to the telephone number registered in advance and the fact that the intrusion has occurred. Report a voice message.
[0009]
Next, the user who receives the notification from the telephone outside the home transmits a predetermined tone signal from the telephone and operates the voice communication means 5 by the line connection unit 6. From the central processing unit 1, a common call signal is transmitted to a plurality of terminals by the voice communication control means 5, but in the terminal apparatus that has transmitted the unsteady signal, the voice control means 14 waits in advance by the terminal control unit 12. When a common call signal is received from the voice communication means 5 of the central processing unit 1, the voice communication means 14 of the terminal operates to establish a call configuration with an external telephone. As a result, the voice around the terminal can be monitored by the telephone outside the house through the voice input means 16, and the surrounding situation can be intercepted. If necessary, the intruder is intimidated by the voice of the user from the voice output means 15 through the telephone.
[0010]
Further, even when the user is at home, a warning mode corresponding to the home state is set from the setting unit 8 of the central processing unit 1 when going to bed at night. If an intrusion occurs in this case (the central processing unit 1 does not call a telephone outside the house), the audio signal from the terminal is amplified from the audio output means 9 of the central processing unit 1. As a result, the central processing unit 1 can perform situational interception using voice around the corresponding terminal. In this case, a voice signal is output from the voice input device 10 of the central processing unit 1 to the corresponding terminal. As a result, the central processing unit 1 threatens the intruder by voice to the corresponding terminal.
[0011]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above-described conventional configuration, a terminal capable of making a voice call with the central processing unit 1 does not detect intrusion or the like for the first time after the central processing unit 1 sets a warning mode (that is, after a warning operation is started). For example, if the terminal 2 is installed near the window in the house and the terminal 3 is installed in the living room, and the living room is invaded through the window from the outside, It was only possible to intercept the situation by voice around the terminal 2 installed in the vicinity of the window (which was a terminal that previously detected an unsteady situation such as intrusion).
[0012]
The present invention is to solve the above-described conventional problems. When a signal in a non-steady state is received from a plurality of terminals, the central processing unit (or the latest processing unit (or a non-steady state) occurs. An object is to provide a monitoring system capable of making a voice call from an outside line telephone or the like.
