The monitor 7 is provided.
[0013]
The monitor 7 is installed at, for example, a front door, receives a crescent lock / unlock signal from a plurality of transmitters 5, and displays a lock / unlock state of the sash 100 corresponding to each transmitter 5. Have
[0014]
As shown in FIG. 2, the display device 9 includes a plurality of LEDs 11 </ b> A, 11 </ b> B, 11 </ b> C... On the display 9 </ b> A, and each LED 11 is stored corresponding to each transmitter 5. Is locked, the lock signal is received, and the corresponding LED 11 changes from red to green.
[0015]
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the transmitter 5 and the monitor 7.
[0016]
The monitor 7 has a power supply unit 71 connected to a commercial 100V power supply. The power supply unit 71 is connected to a CPU 72, a fixed ID storage memory 73, a display unit 74 constituting the display device 9 and a transmission / reception unit 75. Yes. 76 is an antenna, and 77 is a registration switch. The plurality of transmitters 5 have the same structure. Each transmitter 5 includes a battery 51, and a CPU 52, an ID / address storage memory 53, a reed switch (sensor) 54, and a transmission / reception unit 55 are connected to the battery 51. Reference numeral 56 denotes an antenna. Here, the registration switch 77 is used when the ID and the like of the transmitter 5 are individually set and registered in the monitor 7. Since the transmitter 5 is installed in all windows such as kitchens, toilets, living rooms, Japanese-style rooms, bathrooms, entrances, etc., the number of transmitters 5 is a considerable number, for example, 30 or more.
[0017]
FIG. 7 shows a monitoring flow by the remote monitor device 1.
[0018]
When the monitoring mode is set, it is determined whether or not the registration switch 77 (FIG. 2) of the monitor 7 has been pressed (S31). When the registration switch 77 is pressed, the mode shifts to a registration mode described later (S32). When the registration switch 77 is not pressed, a reception standby state is entered (S33), and data is received from the transmitter 5 side. In the case (S34), data collation is executed (S35).
[0019]
As a result of the data collation, when the reed switch (sensor) 54 is switched from on to off (S36; unlocked state), the LED 11 of the number corresponding to the transmitter 5 changes from green to red (S37). ). On the other hand, when the reed switch (sensor) 54 is switched from OFF to ON as a result of the data verification (S38; locked state), the LED 11 with the number corresponding to the transmitter 5 changes from red to green. (S39).
[0020]
In this way, the locked state or the unlocked state is displayed on the LED 7 on the monitor 7 side, so that it is easy to check the door lock.
[0021]
Next, a procedure for registering each transmitter 5 in the monitor 7 at the time of initial setting or the like will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0022]
FIG. 4 shows a control flow on the monitor 7 side during registration work. When the registration switch 77 (FIG. 2) is pressed (S1), the registration mode is entered and N = 1 is set (S2). Here, N indicates the position N of the transmitter of FIG. 2, which starts from 1 and ends with the 30th LED. Next, N> 30 is determined (S3). If N> 30, the process returns to S2, and if N> 30, the corresponding number (Nth) LED 11 slowly blinks in green (S4). . Here, when the registration switch 77 is pressed again (S5), or when the predetermined time T1 (about 2 minutes) elapses without the registration switch 77 being pressed (S6), the process exits the registration mode and is shown in FIG. Transition to the monitoring mode shown (S7).
[0023]
If both of S5 and S6 are “No”, it is determined whether or not the alert set switch 78 of FIG. 2 has been pressed (S8).
[0024]
The warning set switch 78 is a switch for skipping the transmitter position (LED number). When this switch is pressed once, "N = N + 1" (S9), the LED number is incremented by one and the process returns to S3. If the warning set switch 78 is not pressed in S8, it is determined whether or not the warning reset switch 79 in FIG. 2 has been pressed (S10). The warning reset switch 79 is a switch for deleting registration for a predetermined LED number. When this switch is pressed, the registration number N is deleted, the LED is turned off (S11), and the number of the LED is incremented by one in “N = N + 1” (S12), and the process returns to S3. If “NO” in both S8 and S10, the process proceeds to step (1) and subsequent steps shown in FIG.
[0025]
FIG. 5 shows the transmitter registration steps.
[0026]
If both S8 and S10 are “No”, reception is awaited (S13), and whether or not the predetermined time T1 (about 2 minutes) has passed without the registration switch 77 being pressed as in S5 and S6. Alternatively, it is determined whether or not the registration switch 77 has been pressed (S14). If they are “Yes”, the process proceeds to the monitoring mode shown in FIG. 7 (S15). If they are “NO”, the monitor 7 is connected to the transmitter 5 in response to the signal (2) (3) including the ID and the like transmitted in two steps from the transmitter 5 through S26 to S34. A signal representing an ID or the like is registered in association with each other.
[0027]
The two signals (2) (3) are transmitted from the transmitter 5 side as shown in FIG. On the transmitter 5 side, after the battery is mounted and the power is turned on (S16), the transmitter 5 enters a check mode for confirming the operation of the transmitter and confirming the mounting position of the transmitter (S17). Then, after a predetermined time (for example, 2 minutes) has passed (S18), it waits for transmission (S19), and it is determined whether or not 8 hours have passed (S20). If 8 hours have passed, Data is transmitted (S21), and the process returns to S19.
[0028]
If within eight hours, the crescent 3 is opened and closed and the reed switch is switched (S22), the first data transmission is performed (S23), as indicated by (2). In addition to the crescent locking / unlocking signal, this data includes a signal representing the ID of the transmitter. When the crescent 3 is opened / closed again and the reed switch is switched after an interval of about 2 minutes (S24), the second data transmission is performed as indicated by (3) (S25). In this case as well, the data includes a signal representing the ID of the transmitter and the like in addition to the locking and unlocking signals.
[0029]
As shown in FIG. 5, the two signals (2) (3) are received by the monitor 7 in two steps S26 and S32.
[0030]
On the monitor 7 side, in S26, it is determined whether or not the first reception has been made, that is, whether or not a signal including an ID or the like has been received from the transmitter. If “No”, the process returns to reception standby. If there is a first reception and the answer is “Yes”, the corresponding Nth LED 11 blinks quickly in green (S27), the buzzer 15 in FIG. 2 is blown once (S28), and a standby state is entered (S29). ).
[0031]
Next, as in S14 described above, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time T1 (about 2 minutes) has passed without the registration switch 77 being pressed, or whether or not the registration switch 77 has been pressed (S30). If “yes”, the process shifts to the monitoring mode shown in FIG. 7 (S31). If they are “No”, the ID is the same as the first reception and different data is received. For example, the first is a lock signal from Crescent 3 and the second is an unlock signal from Crescent 3. Is registered in the monitor 7, the corresponding Nth LED 11 is lit in red or green (S33), the buzzer 15 is blown twice (S34), and "N = N + 1 "(S35), the LED number is incremented by one and the process returns to S3.
[0032]
The buzzer 15 is a sound as an answerback, and this sound is emitted at the position of the monitor 7, and the sound volume needs to be a level that can be heard by an operator who works at the position of the transmitter 5. The worker knows that the N-th LED has been turned on, relying on the answerback issued in S34, and shifts to registration of the transmitter 5 corresponding to the next N + 1-th LED.
[0033]
In the present embodiment, when the registration mode is set and the ID of the transmitter 5 is registered to the monitor 7, the registration is completed only by unidirectional transmission from the transmitter 5 to the monitor 7. Relying on the answer back from the monitor 7, it is possible to shift to the registration of the next transmitter 5, so that the operator does not have to go back and forth between the position of the monitor 7 and the position of the transmitter 5. Registration to the monitor 7 of the transmitter 5 can be easily performed by a human worker.
[0034]
At the time of registration, a registration mode is set, and at the same time as transmitting a lock or unlock signal from the transmitter 5 to the monitor 7, a signal indicating the ID of the transmitter 5 is transmitted, and this transmission operation is performed twice. The signal transmitted to the monitor 7 by each operation is compared, and the signal indicating the ID or the like is the same, and the monitor 7 is connected to the transmitter only when the type of the locking or unlocking signal is different. 5 and a signal representing an ID or the like are registered in association with each other, so that erroneous setting is prevented.
[0035]
For example, when the monitor 7 is configured to associate and register the transmitter 5 and a signal representing an ID or the like by a single operation, the transmitter that has already been registered in the monitor 7 due to an operator's mistaken operation. This is because there is a possibility that another transmitter 5 is registered in duplicate.
[0036]
In this embodiment, for example, no. To change the registration of the transmitter 5 of No. 3, the following operation is performed. First, the registration switch 77 of the monitor 7 is pressed, and the monitor 7 No. After the LED 11B of 1 is blinking slowly in green, the warning set switch 78 of the monitor 7 is pressed. Then, no. No. 2 LED 11B moves to the point of No. No. 3 LED 11C blinks. Each time you press it, the blinking will change. Thereafter, when the registration switch 77 is finally pushed through S26 to S34 in FIG. The registration of the third transmitter 5 is changed and the registration ends.
[0037]
When deleting registration, for example, No. 3, the registration switch 77 of the monitor 7 is pushed. No. of monitor 7 No. 1 LED 11A blinks slowly in green and repeats the skip operation of S8. 3 LED 11C is made to blink. Then, when the warning reset switch 79 is pressed, the process goes through steps S10 to S12, and No. 3 LED 11C is turned off and the next No. 3 LED is turned off. 4 LED blinks. When the registration switch 77 is pressed, no. 3 is deleted, and the registration is terminated.
[0038]
If the registration switch 77 is pressed again during registration, the registration is terminated at any time. The transmitter that has completed registration so far is registered, but the last transmitter is not registered.
[0039]
As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on the said one Embodiment, this invention is not limited to this.
[0040]
【The invention's effect】
In the present invention, when registering a transmitter ID or the like to the monitor at the time of initial setting or the like, the registration is completed by only one-way transmission from the transmitter to the monitor. Becomes easier.
