Description

  The present invention relates to a regional security system for providing a security service to a specific residential area. The present invention also relates to a regional security service providing method for providing a regional security service using a regional security system installed for a specific residential area.

Traditionally, security systems (and security services) have been adopted by companies' offices and government offices. However, in recent years, the general public's sense of security has deteriorated, and awareness of safety has improved in individuals and living areas, and security systems (services) have come to be used.
For example, the following home security systems for individual residences have been proposed. Various sensors such as a heat detection sensor, a smoke detection sensor, and a security detection sensor are installed at a required location in the house, and these various sensors are connected to the main controller. A radio telephone line transmitter is connected to the main controller. When the occurrence of an abnormal situation is detected, the main controller issues an alarm in the house, and transmits the alarm to a mobile phone carried by a resident who has gone out through a wireless telephone line transmitter (for example, a patent) Reference 1).
In addition, a home security system has been proposed that is configured so that a resident can actively check the safety state of a house from outside regardless of whether or not an alarm is transmitted. This is to access a computer corresponding to the above-mentioned main controller from the outside by using a computer or mobile phone outside the office and confirm the safety state (for example, see Patent Document 2).

In addition, security systems and services that extend such home security to living areas have been proposed (hereinafter, such security systems and services are collectively referred to as regional security).
Such regional security is configured as follows in a specific living area such as a new residential area. A high-performance home security system (service) will be installed in each residence in the area. In addition, a 24-hour guardman is arranged so that safety can be ensured by patrol in the area, and it is possible to quickly arrive at the site in the event of an abnormality in the area. In addition, web cameras are installed at important points in the region such as parks so that the state in the region can be confirmed via the Internet. Such regional security is provided by a regional security provider by, for example, paying a monthly fee of about 2000 to 3000 yen per house, such as a management fee for an apartment house such as a condominium (for example, (Refer nonpatent literature 1.).

  Such services by the regional security system are basically provided equally to residents living in the region or each residence. However, the benefits of the service vary depending on each resident or each residence. In addition, the degree of contribution of each resident to improving the security of the resident area varies. For example, in recent years, it has been pointed out that walking by dogs and shopping, etc., has a crime deterrent effect. Therefore, a resident who moves in the area for a dog walk or shopping contributes to improving the security in the area. However, in the current regional security, the degree of this contribution is not reflected in the service cost such as the total cost of regional security or individual monthly charges.

  The present application has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a regional security system and a regional security service capable of evaluating the effect of improving security by a resident.

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a regional security system for providing a regional security service for a specific residential area has the following features:
Location detecting means for detecting whether or not the location of a resident in the residential area is at least within the residential area, and based on a detection result of the location detecting means, the resident or the residence of each resident And a contribution degree calculation means for calculating a contribution degree to the security improvement of the area.

If a resident in a residential area where the regional security service is provided stays within the residential area, the resident contributes to the security improvement in the residential area. According to this characteristic configuration, the location detecting means detects whether the location of the resident is within the residential area. And a contribution degree calculation means calculates the contribution degree with respect to security improvement for every resident | resident or a resident's residence based on this detection result. Therefore, the contribution to security improvement, that is, the contribution degree can be quantitatively quantified.
As a result, it is possible to evaluate the security improvement effect of the resident area by the resident based on the calculated contribution. This evaluation includes evaluation for every resident, every dwelling, and the whole residential area. Here, the dwelling means not only a building but also a set of one or more residents, such as a household, based on life and livelihood.
If the security of the residential area is improved by the contribution of the resident, the security risk of the residential area is reduced. Accordingly, the regional security service provider can also reduce the service cost. Residents can also receive the result of improved security through their contribution as an economic effect.

  In the area security system according to the present invention, the location detection means includes a portable device carried by the resident, and wireless detection means for detecting the location of the portable device by wireless communication. It is characterized by that.

If the location detection means detects the location of the mobile device by wireless communication, it is easy to identify an individual on the mobile device, and the location of the resident can be accurately detected. Therefore, the contribution calculation means can calculate the contribution to security improvement in the residential area with high accuracy.
Here, the wireless detection means is not limited to the one installed in the residential area. For example, it includes an artificial satellite and a center station of a mobile phone network.

Further, in the area security system according to the present invention, the wireless detection unit is installed at one or more predetermined locations in the residential area, and includes the portable device and the wireless detection unit. When the communication between the portable device and the wireless detection unit is established, the detection unit identifies the predetermined location where the wireless detection unit is installed as the location of the resident carrying the portable device, and the residence The person's location is detected to be within the residential area .

According to this characteristic configuration, when communication between a portable device carried by a resident and a wireless detection means installed at a predetermined location in the residential area is established, the installation location of the wireless detection means is set as the resident's location. To detect. That is, the location of the resident is detected when the portable device and the wireless detection means are relatively close to each other. Since it is easy to identify an individual with a portable device and the location is detected by proximity to the wireless detection means, accurate and accurate detection can be realized.
In addition, the portable device can sufficiently perform its function by communication using weak radio waves. For example, the portable device itself does not have a power source, and may generate a weak radio wave by electromagnetic induction when it is close to the wireless detection means. Therefore, the resident can simply carry the portable device without worrying about charging the portable device, which is convenient.

A communication controller to at least a provider that provides the local security service, and a security mode of home security service provided by the provider for each residence, at least between the home mode and the absence home mode, Has a home security system that can be switched,
Then, the location detection means, said home security is constructed by using the function of the system, if the alert mode is in the home mode, the location of the resident Ri said dwelling der of the resident, the residence area It is detected that it is inside .

According to this characteristic configuration, the location of the resident can be detected without necessarily providing a separate location detection means. That is, the location detecting means can be configured by using the function of the home security system as one of the various systems constituting the regional security system.
Moreover, it is difficult to provide the location detection means using the wireless detection means as described above in each residence from the viewpoint of privacy protection. However, according to this feature configuration, it is possible to detect whether or not the location is within the residence, according to the intention of the resident.

In addition, the regional security system according to the present invention includes first condition defining means for defining, as a time parameter for each date and time, a relative difference in security risk within the residential area that varies at least depending on the date and time. .
The contribution degree calculating means further calculates the contribution degree using the time parameter.

For example, it is known that vacant nest damage occurs more frequently during the daytime on weekdays when the home-stay rate is low. Therefore, if the resident plays the role of watching the residential area on the date and time when the security risk is high, it can be said that the contribution to the security improvement is high.
According to this feature configuration, at least a relative difference in security risk that varies depending on the date and time is defined as a time parameter for each date and time. Therefore, the contribution degree calculation means can calculate the contribution degree with high accuracy using this time parameter.

Further, the regional security system according to the present invention includes a second condition defining means for defining a relative difference in security risk in the residential area, which varies depending on an environmental condition including at least weather, as an environmental parameter for each environmental condition. It is characterized by providing.
The contribution degree calculating means further calculates the contribution degree using the environmental parameter.

For example, vacant nest damage may occur when it is raining rather than when it is sunny, because there are few traffic, the sound when the house is invaded, the windows of other houses are closed, and the signs are not noticeable. It is known that there are many cases. Therefore, if the resident plays a role in watching the residential area in an environmental condition with a high security risk, it can be said that the contribution to security improvement is high.
According to this feature configuration, a relative difference in security risk that varies at least according to environmental conditions including weather is defined as an environmental parameter for each environmental condition. Therefore, the contribution calculation means can calculate the contribution with high accuracy using this environmental parameter.

Further, the regional security system according to the present invention provides a third condition for defining a relative difference in security risk in the residential area, which is different among the areas dividing the residential area, as an area parameter for each area. It comprises a defining means.
The contribution degree calculation means further calculates the contribution degree using the area parameter.

Even within the same residential area, there are places where it is difficult to become a blind spot, places where there are many people and places where there are many people, and there is some difference in security risk. Therefore, if the resident plays the role of watching the residential area in a place where the security risk is high, such as a place where a blind spot is likely to be located or a place where there is little traffic, it can be said that the contribution to security improvement is high.
According to this characteristic configuration, a relative difference in security risk that is different among the areas that divide the residential area is defined as an area parameter for each area. Therefore, the contribution calculation means can calculate the contribution with high accuracy using this area parameter.

  Further, the regional security system according to the present invention includes a summing means for calculating the total contribution in the residential area by adding the contributions of each residence or each resident in the residential area, and the total contribution. And a risk calculating means for calculating a total security risk that is a security risk for the residential area.

According to this feature configuration, the total security risk is calculated in consideration of the self-help efforts by the residents in the residential area to improve security. In general, such total security risk is determined by a security map in a wider area including the residential area and a predetermined standard defined by the provider. And even if the security risk in one residential area decreases, the security map in the wide area is often not greatly affected. In other words, in general, the results of self-help efforts by residents are unlikely to be reflected in total security risk.
However, according to this feature, the total contribution in the residential area by all residents is calculated, and the total security risk is calculated based on the total contribution.
Based on the calculated degree of contribution, the resident can evaluate the security improvement effect of the residence area. Residents are more likely to be able to reduce the security improvement effect of their contribution.

In order to achieve the above object, a regional security service providing method for providing a regional security service using a regional security system installed for a specific residential area according to the present invention includes the following steps: And
That is, the characteristic configuration includes at least detecting whether the resident's location in the residential area is within the resident's residence, and detecting the location of the resident.
Based on the location of the detected resident, a calculation step for calculating a contribution to security improvement of the residential area for each resident or residence;
And an additional service providing step of providing an additional service for each resident or residence based on the degree of contribution.

  If a resident in a residential area where the regional security service is provided stays within the residential area, the resident contributes to the security improvement in the residential area. If the security of the residential area is improved by the contribution of the resident, the security risk of the residential area is reduced. Therefore, the provider of the regional security service can reduce the service cost. According to this characteristic configuration, the location of the resident is detected, and the contribution to the security improvement is calculated for each resident or the resident's residence based on the detection result. And since the effect of the security improvement by a resident's contribution is returned in the form of an additional service, the voluntary approach to security improvement can be returned as various added value.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a residential area. FIG. 2 is a block diagram schematically showing a configuration example of the regional security system. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of each system included in the regional security system of FIG.
The residential area 90 is an emerging residential area in this example. The residential area 90 faces the main road 93 (93a, 93b) on two sides of a substantially rectangular site, the river 92 on the other side, and the railway 94 on the other side. The residential area 90 is connected to the main road 93 a by a connecting road 97. A connecting portion 91 a between the main road 93 a and the connecting road 97, or a connecting portion 91 b between the living area 90 and the connecting road 97 is a town gate 91 serving as an entrance / exit of the living area 90.

  In this residential area 90, a regional security system 100 that provides security services to the entire residential area is established. As shown in FIG. 2, the regional security system 100 in this example is a system in which a plurality of systems are integrated and managed by the regional security management means 50. The plurality of systems are a DIY security system 10, a patrol / notification system 20, a video monitor system 30, and a home security system 40. The regional security management means 50 is provided in a management center (reference numeral 9 in FIGS. 4 and 5 described later) of a provider that provides a regional security service.

The DIY security system 10 is an acronym for “Do it yourself!”, And is a system that supports the improvement of security in the residential area 90 by the resident 99 in the residential area 90. In recent years, it has been pointed out that traffic caused by walking a dog or shopping is effective in preventing crime. For this reason, for example, there are community exercises that allow the time for dog walks, shopping, etc., to be matched to the time when children go to and from school. Therefore, residents who move in the area for dog walks and shopping contribute to improving security in the area.
The DIY security system 10 is a system that quantitatively quantifies such an approach to voluntary security improvement by the resident 99 as a contribution and further promotes the voluntary effort. Details will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the patrol / notification system 20 is a security system mainly composed of patrols in the residential area 90 by the guards 21. For example, the security guard 21 is stationed in a changing place near the meeting place 95 on a 24-hour basis. The guard 21 periodically patrols the residential area 90. In addition, a notification device 22 is installed at a predetermined location in the residential area 90. The report from the resident 99 who notices the abnormality is received by the receiver at the padding station or the communication device carried by the guard 21 and promptly rushes to the site. In addition, this notification is transmitted to the regional security management center 9 as the first report, and a system for promptly responding to a support request is established.

The video monitor system 30 is a system in which the resident 99 can confirm an image taken by a camera 31 provided at a predetermined location in the residential area 90. The camera 31 is installed on, for example, a utility pole or a streetlight pole. A photographed image of the camera 31 can be confirmed from the personal computer 33 of the resident 99 via a network such as the Internet. Therefore, the resident 99 can confirm the situation in the residential area 90 from the residence 98 or a workplace outside the residential area 90. FIG. 3 shows an example in which a child playing with the camera 31 installed in the park 96 is confirmed.
Further, the camera 31 is not limited to a camera whose shooting range is fixed, and the resident 99 may be able to make fine adjustments via the network. For example, fine adjustments such as zooming, panning, tilting, and swinging may be operated from the screen of the personal computer in accordance with the desire of the resident 99.

  The home security system 40 is a system for the residence 98 of the resident 99. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing a configuration example of the home security system 40. The home security system 40 includes a security controller 41 that forms the core of security management in the residence 98. The security controller 41 includes a determination unit 41a and a buzzer 41b. The determination unit 41a determines an abnormality based on the detection results of the various sensors 44 installed in the residence 98, and the buzzer 41b issues an alarm based on the determination result. The security controller 41 is connected to a network 47 such as the Internet or an extranet, and the determination result is transmitted to the management center 49. Accordingly, the security controller 41 corresponds to a communication controller of the present invention as will be described later.

  The sensor 44 is an infrared sensor 44a, a proximity sensor 44b, a smoke sensor (not shown), a heat sensor (not shown), a gas sensor (not shown), or the like. The infrared sensor 44a is a sensor that can detect when there is a person in the residence 98. The proximity sensor 44b is a sensor capable of detecting opening / closing of the door 98f, the window 98g, and the like by proximity / separation between the door frame (window frame) and the door panel (window glass). Smoke sensors and heat sensors are sensors that can detect smoke and temperature rise due to fire. The gas sensor is a sensor capable of detecting a gas leak of fuel gas (for example, methane gas), carbon monoxide generated by incomplete combustion of a combustion device or fire, and the like. These sensors 44 are installed in the residence 98 as necessary, such as a living room 98a, a front door 98b, a bathroom 98c, a toilet 98d, a corridor 98e, and a kitchen (not shown).

The security controller 41 is provided with a warning mode setting switch 45 as an accessory device. According to the setting of the setting switch 45, the warning mode can be switched between at least “at-home mode” and “at-home mode”. Of course, it may be possible to switch to three or more modes. In this example, it is possible to switch to three modes of “answering house mode”, “sleeping mode”, and “activity mode”.
The “home away mode” is set when the resident 99 goes out, and is the mode in which the highest security monitoring is performed based on information from all the sensors 44.
The “sleeping mode” is a mode in which security monitoring is performed based on information from some sensors 44 when the resident 99 is at home but is sleeping. For example, when sleeping on the second floor of a two-story residence, security monitoring is performed based on information from the sensor 44 on the first floor. That is, a fire sensor is warned by a smoke sensor, a heat sensor, a gas sensor, and the like, and an intruder is warned by an infrared sensor 44a, a proximity sensor 44b, and the like.
“Activity mode” is when the resident 99 is at home and is also active in the residence 98, and fire and gas leaks based on information from related sensors such as smoke sensor, heat sensor, gas sensor, etc. Security monitoring is performed mainly in the area.

  The setting switch 45 is provided in the living room 98a, the entrance 98b, the bedroom (not shown), and the like, and the setting is appropriately changed by the resident 99 when going out, returning home, or sleeping. The setting of the alert mode is transmitted to the management center 49 via the network 47. In this example, the management center 49 can be the same as the management center 9 of the regional security system 100. In addition, the network 47 can be used in common with the network 7 used by the regional security system. Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, the management center 9 and the network 7 will be described as being common to the local security system 100 and the home security system 40.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram schematically showing a configuration example of the DIY security system 10 of FIG. The DIY security system 10 includes location detecting means 1, contribution calculating means 2, recording means 3, condition defining means 4, summing means 5, and risk calculating means 6. The contribution degree calculation means 2 and the like are usually provided in the management center 9 that is remote from the residential area 90.

  The location detection means 1 detects whether the location of the resident 99 is within the residential area 90. Based on the detection result of the location detection means 1, the contribution degree calculation means 2 calculates the contribution degree to the security improvement of the residential area 90 for each resident 99 or each residence 98 of the resident 99. The recording means 3 records the calculated contribution degree for each resident 99 or each residence 98 of the resident 99. The condition defining means 4 is a means for defining various conditions for calculating the contribution. Details will be described later. The summing unit 5 adds the contributions recorded for each resident 99 or each residence 98 of the resident 99 to calculate the total contribution in the residential area 90. The risk calculation means 6 calculates a total security risk, which is a security risk for the residential area 90, based on the calculated total contribution.

  Each of the above means indicates the sharing as a function, and does not necessarily indicate a physically independent one. A computer including common hardware (processor, semiconductor IC, group of electronic circuits, memory, hard disk, etc.) System) may be used. In addition, it naturally includes being realized by software such as a program executed on the hardware. For example, in the computer system installed in the management center 9, each means such as the contribution calculation means 2 is realized by cooperation of hardware and software.

The location detecting means 1 can be realized in various forms as shown in FIGS.
For example, it can be constituted by an IC card 11A carried by the resident 99 and a card reader 12A that detects the location of the IC card 11A by wireless communication.
Moreover, it can also comprise using the mobile phone 11B with the GPS (Global Positioning System) function which the resident 99 carries, and the base station 12B of the mobile phone 11B.
The location detection means 1 can also be configured using an image recognition means 13 having a camera 13a as shown in FIGS.
Furthermore, the home security system 40 described above can be used as the location detection means 1.
Hereinafter, the said form which comprises the location detection means 1 is explained in full detail.

As an example, the location detection means 1 includes an IC card 11A carried by a resident 99 and a card reader 12A that detects the location of the IC card 11A by wireless communication. The IC card 11A corresponds to the portable device 11 of the present invention, and the card reader 12A corresponds to the wireless detection means 12 of the present invention.
The IC card 11A is a card having a size similar to that of a credit card or the like, and includes a coil, an antenna, and an IC inside. When this IC card 11A is brought close to the card reader 12A, a coil in the IC card 11A generates electricity due to the effect of electromagnetic induction by electromagnetic waves transmitted from the card reader 12A. Using the generated power, the IC transmits the resident 99 ID and the like to the card reader 12A via the antenna. By establishing communication between the card reader 12A installed at a predetermined location in the residential area 90 and the IC card 11A, the location of the resident 99 carrying the IC card 11A is specified.
That is, the card reader 12 </ b> A transmits the location information of the resident 99 to the management center 9 via the network 7. The card readers 12 </ b> A are installed at a plurality of locations in the residential area 90, and these installed locations are treated as the location of the resident 99. In the case where the number is the smallest, the card reader 12A may be installed in the town gate 91 to detect whether the resident 99 is at least within the residential area 90.

  In the above example, the self-power generation type IC card 11A is illustrated, but naturally, a battery built-in type IC card may be used. Moreover, an independent card | curd may be sufficient like the said example, and the thing used also as another apparatus and card | curd (For example, IC card for transportation systems, such as a mobile telephone, a railroad, a highway) may be used.

As described above, the location detection means 1 can also be configured using the mobile phone 11B with GPS function carried by the resident 99 and the base station 12B of the mobile phone 11B. The mobile phone 11B corresponds to the mobile device 11 of the present invention, and the base station 12B corresponds to the wireless detection means 12 of the present invention.
The mobile phone 11B receives radio waves from a plurality of GPS satellites (NAVSTAR) 14 and performs positioning. This positioning includes a network support type and a self-supporting type, but any method may be used. In the network support type, the server system of the center station performs final calculation via the base station 12B of the mobile phone 11B that has received the radio wave from the GPS satellite 14 (MS-Assisted), and the assistance provided from the server system Some mobile phones 11B perform final calculation using data (MS-Based). In the autonomous type, all calculations are performed in the mobile phone 11B.
In both cases of the network support type and the self-supporting type, the positioning result is transmitted from the base station 12B and the server system to the management center 9 via the network 7.

  In the above example, the mobile phone 11B and the base station 12B are illustrated. However, any other device may be used as long as it has a function of receiving radio waves from the GPS satellite 14 and a function of wirelessly communicating the positioning result. But you can. For example, a notebook personal computer or PDA with a GPS function and a wireless LAN function, and a wireless LAN access point may be used. In the case of this example, such a system configuration is possible if a wireless LAN access point is installed at a predetermined location in the residential area 90.

The location detection means 1 can also be configured using an image recognition means 13 provided with a camera 13a.
The image recognizing means 13 recognizes the resident 99 from the image taken by the camera 13 a provided at a predetermined location in the residential area 90. The image recognition means 13 identifies an individual by recognizing the face of the resident 99, for example. In order to facilitate image processing, participants of voluntary activities using the DIY security system 10 may put a common mark. Examples of the common mark include an armband, a plate attached to a bicycle basket, a hat, a T-shirt, a jacket, and the like. If a number or symbol that does not overlap is added to this mark, an individual can be identified using character recognition, shape recognition, etc., which are lighter in computation load than face recognition.
The cameras 13a are installed at a plurality of locations in the residential area 90, and these installed locations are treated as the location of the resident 99. The image recognition unit 13 transmits the location information of the resident 99 to the management center 9 via the network 7. In the case where the number is the smallest, the camera 13a may be installed in the town gate 91 to detect whether the resident 99 is at least within the residential area 90.

Since image recognition generally requires a heavy calculation load, the camera 13a may send image data to the management center 9 via the network 7 and the management center 9 may perform image recognition. In this case, the camera 13a, the network 7, and the management center 9 correspond to the image recognition unit 13.
Of course, the camera 13 a may also be used as the camera 31 of the video monitor system 30.

  Further, the location detecting means 1 can be configured by using the function of the home security system 40. As described above with reference to FIG. 4, the resident 99 can switch the warning mode between at least “at-home mode” and “at-home mode” by operating the setting switch 45. The setting of the alert mode is transmitted to the management center 9 via the network 7. Therefore, the home security system 40, more specifically, the setting switch 45 can be used as the location detection means 1. That is, it is possible to detect at least whether the resident 99 is in the residential area 90 (in the residential area 98).

The contribution degree calculation means 2 shown in FIG. 5 calculates the contribution degree to the security improvement of the residential area 90 for each resident 99 or each residence 98 of the resident 99 based on the detection result of the location detection means 1. The calculated contribution degree is stored in the storage means 3 in a state where it can be identified for each resident 99 or 98.
At this time, if the contribution degree calculation means 2 calculates taking into account the relative difference of the security risk in the residential area 90 with respect to various factors, the contribution degree can be calculated with higher accuracy. Here, the various factors include conditions such as date and time, environmental conditions including weather, conditions depending on each area dividing the residential area 90, and the like.
These various conditions are defined by the condition defining means 4 shown in FIG. In this example, it is calculated by the prescribed calculation means 4d and stored in the date / time parameter database 4a, the environment parameter database 4b, and the zone parameter database 4c. Details will be described later.

For example, it is known that vacant nest damage occurs more frequently during the daytime on weekdays when the home-stay rate is low. Therefore, if the resident 99 plays the role of watching the residential area 90 by staying at home or taking a walk at a date and time when the security risk is high, it can be said that the contribution to the security improvement is high.
In addition, damage due to vacant nests is more likely to occur when it is raining than when it is sunny, due to the lack of traffic, the sound of intruding residences being silenced, and the windows of other residences being closed, making it difficult to notice. It is known that there are many cases. Therefore, if the resident 99 plays a role of watching over the residential area in an environmental condition where the security risk is high, it can be said that the contribution to security improvement is high.
Even within the same residential area 90, there are places where it is difficult to become blind spots, places where there are many people and places where there are many people, and there is some difference in security risk. Therefore, if the resident 99 plays the role of watching the residential area 90 in a place where the security risk is high, such as a place where a blind spot is likely to be located or a place where there is little traffic, it can be said that the contribution to security improvement is high.

  Conditions relating to the above factors are calculated by the regulation calculation means 4d and stored in the date / time parameter database 4a, the environment parameter database 4b, and the zone parameter database 4c, respectively. Here, the regulation calculation means 4d and the date / time parameter database 4a correspond to the first condition regulation means 4A of the present invention. The regulation calculation means 4d and the environmental parameter database 4b correspond to the second condition regulation means 4B of the present invention. The regulation calculation means 4d and the area parameter database correspond to the third condition regulation means 4C of the present invention.

  The date / time parameter database 4a stores calendar information such as whether the school is on a long-term holiday such as a day of the week, a holiday, or summer vacation, and date / time parameters defined based on the time information. At the time of this regulation, the regulation calculation means 4d uses the correlation information between the date and time of the incident or accident provided from the police, the security company, the research institution or the like.

  The environmental parameter database 4b stores environmental parameters defined based on weather, air temperature, humidity, wind speed, body temperature, discomfort index, pollen scattering information, and the like. The regulation calculation means 4d may acquire such information from a thermohygrometer installed in the residential area 90, or may acquire it from a provider that provides weather information. In addition, in the case of the regulation, as with the date and time parameter, the correlation information between the risk of the incident or accident provided by the police, the security company, the research institution, or the like is used.

In the area parameter database 4c, area parameters defined for each area dividing the residential area 90 are stored. The regulation calculation means 4d regulates area parameters based on information on past events and accidents that occurred in the residential area 90, past traffic information, and other geographical conditions.
FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of an area into which a residential area is divided. For example, the area A is a neighborhood of a park or a meeting place, and it is known from the past detection results by the location detection means 1 that there is a lot of traffic. Other areas have the following characteristics, for example. The area B includes the town gate 91b and is relatively crowded compared to other areas. There is a possibility of falling in the vicinity of the areas C and H and the river 92. Areas E and F are located in the back of the residential area 90, and there are few people other than the resident 99 who lives in the area.
The regulation calculation means 4d defines the zone parameters of each zone in view of the characteristics of each zone. For example, the zone parameters are defined so that the security risk of zone A is lower than that of other zones. In the regulation, correlation information between the risk of incidents and accidents provided by the police, security companies, research institutions, etc. and the characteristics of the area are also used as well as the date and time parameters and the environmental parameters.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a procedure for calculating the contribution for each resident 99 or 98. First, as described above, the location W of the resident 99 is detected by the location detection means 1 (location detection process, # 11). Next, the contribution degree calculation means 2 calculates the current contribution Pnow indicated by the function f of the location W, the date / time parameter k1, the environment parameter k2, and the area parameter k3 (contribution calculation step, # 12, Formula 1).

  Contribution Pnow = f (W, k1, k2, k3) (Formula 1)

 The date / time parameter k1, the environment parameter k2, and the area parameter k3 do not have to be used all, and only one or two may be used. Moreover, it does not prevent the calculation of the contribution degree Pnow based on only the location W, not using all. Here, when these parameters are not used, they may be realized by setting their values to substantially invalid values (for example, a value corresponding to 1 for multiplication and division and 0 for addition and subtraction). .

Next, the contribution degree calculation means 2 reads the contribution degree Pi for each resident 99 or residence 98 stored in the storage means 3 and adds the calculated latest contribution degree Pnow to obtain a new contribution degree. Pi is calculated (contribution calculation step, # 13). The new contribution degree Pi is stored in the storage means 3 again.
The contribution degree Pi may be updated over a predetermined counting period, and may be reset at the beginning of the counting period. For example, when the contribution degree Pi is accumulated in units of months, years, etc., it is reset at the beginning of the unit month and the beginning of the year.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a procedure for providing an additional service based on the contribution degree Pi. The regional security management means 50 provides an additional service for each resident 99 or 98 based on the contribution degree Pi.
In this example, it is determined whether or not the contribution Pi exceeds a predetermined first threshold value Pth1 (# 21), and if it exceeds, a supplementary service is given (# 22). After the additional service is given, the contribution degree of the value corresponding to the additional service is subtracted, and the new contribution degree Pi is stored in the storage means 3. In addition, when an expiration date is set for the contribution level Pi, the new contribution level Pi is stored in the storage means 3 by subtracting the contribution level that has reached the expiration date, regardless of the provision of the additional service. .

For example, the additional service can be provided as a discount service for the charge of the local security service charged for each resident 99 or each resident 98. Further, it may be given as a service that can be exchanged with other products or services according to the contribution degree Pi.
When such an additional service is given, the resident 99 can enjoy not only the security of the residential area 90 but also other added value by utilizing the DIY security (system and service). Therefore, the approach to DIY security becomes active, and the security of the residential area 90 can be further improved.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a procedure for calculating the total security risk R based on the total contribution Psum of the residential area 90.
As shown in FIG. 5, the DIY security system 10 adds the contributions Pi of each residence 98 or each resident 99 in the residential area 90 to calculate the total contribution Psum in the residential area 90. It has. And the risk calculation means 6 which calculates the total security risk R which is a security risk with respect to the residence area 90 based on the total contribution Psum is provided.

The summing means 5 adds up the contributions Pi of the total number n of residences 98 or residents 99 to calculate the total contribution Psum (# 31). Then, it is determined whether or not the total contribution Psum exceeds a predetermined second threshold value Pth2 (# 32).
On the other hand, the initial value of the total security risk R for the residential area 90 is determined by the provider of the regional security service based on comparisons with other residential areas of the same scale and the wide-area incident occurrence map provided by the police. It is calculated. That the total contribution Psum exceeds the second threshold value Pth2 indicates that the security of the residential area 90 has been improved by the efforts of the resident 99. Therefore, the total security risk R calculated by comparison with other residential areas of the same scale or by the wide-area incident occurrence map is deviated from the substance. Therefore, the risk calculation means 6 calculates a new total security risk R based on the total contribution degree Psum.

Specifically, the improved risk is calculated by the function g having the total contribution Psum as a variable. Then, a new total security risk R is calculated by subtracting the improved risk from the total security risk R so far (# 33).
Thereby, the total security risk R of the entire residential area 90 is reduced, and the total consideration for providing the regional security service to the residential area 90 is also reduced. Therefore, the service consideration allocated to each resident 99 or each residence 98 is also reduced. The resident 99 can enjoy not only the security of the residential area 90 but also the added value of money by utilizing the DIY security (system and service). Therefore, the approach to DIY security becomes active, and the security of the residential area 90 can be further improved.

  When the resident 99 continues the DIY security approach, the total security risk R is equally reduced if the second threshold value Pth2 and the function g are constant. That is, in theory, it includes the possibility that the total consideration that is lower than the maintenance cost of the regional security system 100 is calculated. Therefore, there are restrictions such as setting a lower limit value for the total security risk R, providing a long period for updating the total security cost R, and changing the second threshold value Pth2 and the function g according to the total security risk R. Is desirable.

  As described above, it is possible to provide a regional security system and a regional security service that can evaluate the effect of improving security by residents.

  The present invention can be applied to a regional security system for providing a security service to a predetermined region such as a specific residential area, and a regional security service using the regional security system.
