Description

  The present invention relates to a wireless device that is connected to an alarm device and wirelessly transmits and receives a signal that the alarm device exchanges with the outside.

  Conventionally, gas meters, gas leak alarms, etc. have been installed in homes, and the amount of gas used and the presence or absence of gas leaks that have been grasped by them are conventionally known only for each device in a stand-alone manner. However, with the spread of centralized monitoring at remote locations, the number of cases where individual wired connections were started to centralized monitoring panels connected to remote centralized monitoring points via telephone lines and the like was increasing.

Furthermore, in recent years, in order to improve the degree of freedom of installation locations, a configuration has been proposed in which a gas leak alarm device, a gas meter, and the like are wirelessly connected to a centralized monitoring panel via a wireless device.

  In recent years, due to amendments to laws and regulations, it has become mandatory to install fire alarms in newly built units, and the spread of security sensors to improve crime prevention awareness. An alarm device for detecting and notifying of the alarm is installed, and when a failure occurs in the alarm device, an alarm device for notifying that fact separately from the alarm has appeared.

  The alarm state and failure state detected by these alarm devices are generally notified to the outside by voice or display by the detected alarm device, but in that case, only in the place where the alarm state or failure state has occurred. It is not possible to recognize that fact, and a quick response to an alarm state or a failure state cannot be expected sufficiently.

  This is not only a problem in one house, but also an important problem in expecting a quick response to an alarm state or failure state for residents in neighboring homes. There has been a demand for a measure for promptly notifying where the state has occurred in places other than the place where the state has occurred.

  In addition, when notifying the occurrence of an alarm or failure condition at a place other than the place where it occurred, for example, if it is in the same house, we went to the place where it occurred and confirmed whether it occurred, that is, whether it was a false alarm.

  Next, the operation (action) of the automatic linkage system of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described.

  First, when an alarm state is detected in the gas leak alarm 1 or the fire alarm 4, an alarm is output by voice or the like, and an alarm signal having a different pulse waveform pattern is generated depending on the detected alarm state. 2 and 3.

  Then, in the wireless units 2 and 3 to which the alarm signal is input from the port Pio, alarm generation data indicating the alarm content indicated by the pulse waveform pattern of the alarm signal is transmitted by wireless communication using the first channel.

  In the other wireless units 2 and 3 that have received this alarm generation data in the first channel, the output of the alarm notification signal to the gas leak alarm device 1 or the fire alarm device 4 connected to itself is transmitted to the alarm generation data. This is performed only when the original wireless units 2 and 3 are installed in the same house (inside of the house), and the wireless units 2 and 3 installed in other houses (outside of the house) are the transmission source of the alarm generation data. If it is, it is not done.

  Therefore, immediately after the alarm state is detected in the gas leak alarm 1 or the fire alarm 4, another gas installed in the same house as the gas leak alarm 1 or the fire alarm 4 that has detected the alarm state. In the leak alarm device 1 and the fire alarm device 4, a notification operation of an alarm state generated in the other gas leak alarm device 1 or the fire alarm device 4 in the house is performed using a voice notification function.

  In the wireless units 2 and 3 to which an alarm signal is input from the port Pio, if the alarm signal input from the port Pio continues until a predetermined standby time elapses, an alarm indicated by the pulse waveform pattern of the alarm signal Alarm generation data indicating the contents is transmitted by wireless communication using the second channel.

  In the other wireless units 2 and 3 that have received the alarm generation data in the second channel, the alarm notification signal output to the gas leak alarm 1 or the fire alarm 4 connected to itself is transmitted to the alarm generation data. It is performed only when the original wireless units 2 and 3 are installed in other homes, and is not performed when the wireless units 2 and 3 installed in the home are the transmission sources of alarm generation data.

  Therefore, at the time after the standby time has elapsed since the alarm state was detected in the gas leak alarm 1 or the fire alarm 4, another house different from the gas leak alarm 1 or the fire alarm 4 that detected the alarm state. In other words, in the gas leak alarm 1 or the fire alarm 4 installed outside the home, the alarm operation of the alarm state generated in the gas leak alarm 1 or the fire alarm 4 in another home uses the voice alert function. Done.

  Thus, according to the automatic linkage system of the present embodiment, the alarm that triggers the wireless units 2 and 3 installed outside the house to output an alarm notification signal to the connected gas leak alarm 1 and fire alarm 4. The transmission of the generated data is used for transmitting the alarm generation data that triggers the wireless unit 2 or 3 installed in the house to output an alarm notification signal to the gas leak alarm device 1 or the fire alarm device 4 to which the wireless unit 2 is connected. Since the second channel different from the channel is used to delay the timing after the standby time has elapsed from the input of the alarm signal from the gas leak alarm 1 or the fire alarm 4, until the standby time elapses During this period, if the gas leak alarm 1 or fire alarm 4 that detected the alarm condition is confirmed to be operating due to a false alarm and the alarm operation is manually stopped, the gas leak alarm 1 Fire alarm 4 Incorrect notification of the gas leak alarm 1 or fire alarm 4 in the house to other residents who cannot directly check the status by directly visiting the location where the alarm occurred. It is possible to prevent unnecessary actions such as evacuation due to the alarm operation of the gas leak alarm 1 outside the house or the fire alarm 4 based on the above.

  (Second Embodiment) In the first embodiment described above, the radio units 2 and 3 on the alarm occurrence data receiving side are based on the channel used for communication and the identification information of the source radio units 2 and 3. In the second embodiment, instead of determining whether or not the transmission target is determined and determining whether or not the reception process is necessary, the transmission destination is specified and the alarm occurrence data is simply set as the second embodiment. It can also be set as the structure transmitted on one channel.

  In this case, the wireless units 2 and 3 are configured to perform wireless communication with the other wireless units 2 and 3 through a single channel, and the microcomputer unit μCOM of each wireless unit 2 and 3 The processing executed according to the control program stored in the internal ROM (not shown) is changed to the content shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  First, it is confirmed whether or not an alarm signal from the gas leak alarm 1 or the fire alarm 4 is input to the port Pio (step S31), and if it is input (Y in step S31), it is stored in the nonvolatile memory NVM. Referring to the registered table, the alarm content generated from the pulse waveform pattern of the input alarm signal is determined (step S33).

  The alarm generation data indicating the alarm content of the determined alarm signal is registered as identification information of the radio units 2 and 3 belonging to the home group in the non-volatile memory NVM, and other radios installed in the same home Modulation / demodulation processing digital processing circuit DP modulates with the device ID of units 2 and 3 as the transmission destination, together with its own identification information registered in nonvolatile memory NVM which is the identification information of the transmission source. Wireless transmission is performed from the communication high-frequency circuit unit RF to the antenna AT (step S35).

  Subsequently, it is confirmed whether or not the alarm signal from the gas leak alarm 1 or fire alarm 4 confirmed in step S31 is continuously input to the port Pio (step S37).

  (Eighth Embodiment) In the eighth embodiment, alarm generation data is transmitted from the wireless unit in the first to fourth embodiments, the master unit in the fifth to seventh embodiments, and the wireless unit as a slave unit. When transmitting in the form of a telegram, a shortened ID useful for shortening the reception time on the receiving side is added to the transmitted telegram.

  The structure of the transmission message in this case is shown in FIG. The transmission message shown in FIG. 22 includes an RCR signal, a simple call ID, and information. The RCR signal is composed of a 105-bit bit synchronization signal, a 31-bit frame synchronization signal (1), and a 64-bit paging signal. The simple call ID is composed of a 17-bit bit synchronization signal, a 31-bit frame synchronization signal (2), and a 32-bit counterpart station shortened ID. The information is from a 65-bit bit synchronization signal, a 31-bit frame synchronization signal (1), a 32-bit control command signal, a 96-bit counterpart station ID, a 32-bit packet configuration and data (including alarm generation data). Composed.

  The counterpart station shortened ID is composed of a 16-bit shortened ID, a 15-bit remainder, and a 1-bit parity, as shown in an enlarged manner in FIG. The 16 bits of the shortened ID are used as 4 bits × 4 digits data.

  When it is desired to specify an individual wireless unit as a transmission partner, this shortened ID consists of a 4-bit binary number in the last 4 digits of the device ID consisting of a plurality of digits preset for the wireless unit. Use the bit representation.

  The shortened ID is used to identify whether the transmission partner is a wireless unit of the home group or a wireless unit of the outside group. In this case, the upper 8 bits of the 16 bits are classified for the home group and the outside group, and the lower 2 bits are set to the last 2 digits of the multi-digit house code for the home group. For the destination, set the last two digits of the multi-digit district code. In the case of an off-premises group, the lower 8 bits may be set with the last digit of the entity code and the last digit of the district code.

  Next, a reception process in the reception-side wireless unit when such a transmission message is transmitted will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in the wireless unit, the presence / absence of a reception radio wave of a transmission message from another radio unit is determined (step S91). If there is a reception radio wave, a shortened ID in the received transmission message is received (step S93).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the received shortened ID is for an individual wireless unit (step S95). If it is for an individual wireless unit, it is then determined whether or not the shortened ID matches the last four digits of its own device ID (step S97). If they do not match, the reception process is terminated, and if they match, then the transmission message is received to the end (step S99).

  On the other hand, if it is not for an individual wireless unit in step S95, it is then determined whether it is for a home group (home broadcast) (step S101). If it is for the home group (home broadcast), it is then determined whether or not the last two digits of the shortened ID match the last two digits of the house code (step S103). If they do not match, the reception process is terminated. If they match, then the transmission message is received to the end (step S105).

  If it is not for the in-home group (in-house broadcast) in step S101, it is next determined whether it is for the out-of-home group (neighbor house broadcast) (step S107). If it is for an out-of-home group (neighborhood broadcast), it is then determined whether or not the last two digits of the shortened ID match the last two digits of its own district code (step S109). If they do not match, the reception process is terminated. If they match, then the transmission message is received to the end (step S105).

  As can be seen from the above description, in the wireless units 2 and 3 that execute the reception process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 23, steps S101, 103, 107, and 109 in the flowchart of FIG. This corresponds to the determination means, the second determination means, the third determination means, and the fourth determination means.

  As described above, according to the eighth embodiment, the wireless unit that has received the transmission message by the shortened ID is addressed to its own device ID, addressed to its own house code (addressed to the home), addressed to its own district code (addressed to the same district). It is possible to determine whether or not it is a transmission message by using the shortened ID at the front of the transmission message, and without receiving all communications from the same district to the end, the reception is completed with the minimum reception time except for one's address can do. In addition, since it is possible to shorten a useless reception time other than that addressed to itself, it is possible to reduce power consumption in the wireless unit.

If a step is inserted and the alarm release information is received, the process returns to step S1. If not, the process proceeds to step S9, and the alarm occurrence data may be transmitted in step S11 after the standby time has elapsed.

  In the first embodiment described above, if the continuation of the alarm signal is confirmed in step S7, the alarm occurrence data is transmitted to the wireless units 2 and 3 outside the house in step S11 after the standby time has elapsed in step S9. However, instead of this, an alarm release switch is provided so that alarm release information by operating the alarm release switch is transmitted, and steps S7 and S9 are deleted, and between steps S21 and S23. The step of determining whether or not alarm release information is received and the same step as step S65 of the third embodiment are inserted, and if alarm release information is received, the process returns to step S1, and if not, the process proceeds to the same step as step S65. The alarm notification signal may be output in step S23 after the standby time has elapsed.
