JP5396644B2 - Display status of mobile phone report receipt confirmation operation - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a status display method for reporting continuation / completion to a recipient of a report in a report system using a videophone function of a mobile phone.

There is a system for reporting video and images of a monitoring camera to a mobile phone such as an administrator using a videophone function or an e-mail function when an abnormality occurs.
As a reporting operation of a reporting device using the videophone function, generally when a reporter mobile phone does not respond to a call, a report is sent to another reporter mobile phone, and the report is repeated several times until the call is answered. In this case, if the call destination mobile phone or the answering machine function or message function of the mobile phone carrier makes the call state, the caller device will be notified even if the owner (administrator, etc.) of the call destination mobile phone is unconfirmed. The report to was completed. Conventionally, as a countermeasure, a reporting device has been used to return that the report has been received by sending a DTMF signal from the report destination mobile phone (dial button operation by the administrator), etc. (hereinafter referred to as “receive operation”). There is a method for judging the completion of notification by receiving the corresponding DTMF signal.
In addition, the function that informs the callee of the status of the system (camera number and dial button function assignment table) by adding images and characters on the video image of the videophone function to the mobile phone is a conventional technology. The status of report continuation / completion (reception operation) was not included in the displayed content.

There is a case where the owner of the report destination mobile phone forgets the reception operation of the report received and the report device continues the report even after the call ends. As a result, unnecessary notifications are repeated, and an unnecessary communication cost burden is generated on the cellular phone line contractor (administrator, etc.), and the owner of the reporting destination mobile phone is forced to respond sequentially.

In the present invention, a report continuation / completion status display function is added to the prior art of the report system status display function by videophone image composition display on a mobile phone by a reporting device.

According to the present invention, the notification continuation / completion state of the reporting device can be confirmed during a call with the reporting device by the report destination designation person. In addition, in the notification system using the videophone function, when a report is received, the received video (the video of the surveillance camera) is always checked, so the notification continuation / completion status of the reporting device is displayed in the video. This makes it easy for the owner of the mobile phone to perceive this information and forgetting the receiving operation.
Accompanying this, it is possible to reduce the burden of unnecessary communication costs on the cellular phone contractor and to reduce the troublesomeness to the owner of the report destination cellular phone.
By using a frame (for example, red) that is easy to distinguish from the received video (monitoring camera video) to display the notification continuation / completion status in the received video, it is easy to distinguish it from the monitoring camera video and is difficult to overlook, Visibility of the main received video (surveillance camera video) is not impaired by the frame with the outer periphery of the camera video.

It is the conceptual diagram which showed the Example of the notification system by this invention.

The present invention constitutes a notification system as shown in FIG. 1 and is implemented by a notification device 1 having an image composition function and a communication terminal control function. Note that the telephone number of the mobile phone 2 with the videophone function designated as the report destination is operated in a state where the telephone number is registered in the report device 1 or the communication terminal. The cellular phone 2 with a videophone function 2 is called by the communication terminal control signal 3.

The reporting device 1 detects the reporting factor generation signal 4 and starts the reporting operation (the reporting device 1 calls the reporting destination mobile phone 2 with the videophone function via the videophone function communication card terminal 11 by the videophone function. ).

The reporting device 1 uses the video signal 5 of the surveillance camera and the display image signal 6 on the mobile phone side with the videophone function, which combines the status display symbol of the report continuation, via the communication card terminal 11 with the videophone function. 2, the mobile phone 2 with videophone function is displayed on the camera image display area 8 in the display 7 by the mobile phone 2 with videophone function connected to the videophone line. As a result, the owner of the mobile phone 2 with the videophone function can recognize that the notification is ongoing while checking the state of the scene from the video signal 5 of the surveillance camera, and the notification device 1 has the videophone function. It is possible to prompt the owner of the mobile phone 2 to perform a receiving operation (DTMF signal transmission by dial button operation).

As an embodiment of displaying the notification status according to the present invention, a color (for example, red) that can be easily distinguished from the received video (video of the monitoring camera) along the outer periphery of the camera image display area 8 when the notification is continued, such as the display 7 in FIG. ) Can be identified from the video of the surveillance camera and can be prevented from being overlooked without significantly impairing the visibility of the video of the surveillance camera.

If there is a receiving operation on the mobile phone 2 with videophone function, the reporting device 1 receives the voice signal of the mobile phone with videophone function received from the mobile phone 2 with videophone function via the communication card terminal 11 with videophone function ( By detecting the DTMF signal corresponding to the receiving operation from the DTMF signal corresponding to the dial button operation) 10, the completion of the notification is confirmed. However, the call continues. As a result, the reporting device 1 changes the display image signal 6 on the mobile phone side with the videophone function transmitted to the mobile phone 2 with the videophone function to an image that combines the input video from the video signal 5 of the monitoring camera and the notification completion information. . As a result, the owner of the mobile phone 2 with the videophone function of the report destination is informed that the report device 1 is currently reporting, that is, the receiving operation has been accepted by the report device 1. .
