FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing an example of the relationship between the smartphone 1 in a warning and the offender. In the following description, the same code | symbol may be attached | subjected to the same component and duplication description may be abbreviate | omitted.

  When the owner operates the crime prevention function of the smartphone 1, the owner performs a predetermined operation on the smartphone 1. In this embodiment, although the case where a user performs predetermined operation to button 3 of smart phone 1 is explained, it is not limited to this. For example, the smartphone 1 may be configured to perform a crime prevention function when the strap is pulled.

  When a predetermined operation is detected, the smartphone 1 displays a screen indicating that an alarm is in progress on the touch screen display 2 (display 2A) and outputs an alarm sound from the speaker 11 as Step S11. The smartphone 1 may be configured to output an alarm sound from only the receiver 7 and the speaker 11 or the receiver 7.

  When the smartphone 1 outputs an alarm sound, for example, the criminal H may operate the button 3 or the like of the smartphone 1 to stop the alarm sound. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the criminal H is likely to operate in a state of facing the touch screen display 2 of the smartphone 1. The camera 12 has a shooting window arranged on the same side as the side on which the touch screen display 2 is arranged. Therefore, the smartphone 1 activates the camera 12 in response to the detection of the operation during the alarm, and by photographing the area facing the camera 12, it is possible to enhance the possibility that the image of the criminal H is included in the photographed image. .

  Thereafter, in step S12 shown in FIG. 5, the criminal H performs a stop operation to stop the alarm with the finger F on the button 3. The smartphone 1 detects a stop operation via the button 3 as step S12. When the stop operation during the alarm is detected, the smartphone 1 activates the camera 12 and causes the camera 12 to shoot at step S13. In this case, the smartphone 1 continues the display of the screen indicating that the alarm is in progress. The smart phone 1 can reduce the possibility that the offender H may notice the photographing by not outputting the shutter sound by the photographing.

  In this embodiment, although the smart phone 1 demonstrates the case where imaging | photography is performed with the camera 12 which is an in-camera during a warning, it is not limited to this. For example, the smartphone 1 may be configured to perform shooting with the camera 12 and the camera 13 that is an out camera, or to perform shooting with only the camera 13. By using the camera 13, the smartphone 1 can expect photographing of the surrounding environment at the time of crime occurrence, surrounding accomplices, and the like.

  The smartphone 1 and the communication device 50 of a predetermined registration destination are configured to be connectable via a public line (carrier line) network. The communication device 50 notifies the received various electronic mails.

  When the photographing by the camera 12 is finished, the smartphone 1 stops outputting the alarm sound as step S14 and creates an emergency notification mail indicating that the crime prevention function has been executed, and adds the photographed information to the emergency notification The e-mail is transmitted to the communication device 50 of the predetermined registration destination. In the present embodiment, the smartphone 1 includes, for example, information such as an alarm start time and a position of the smartphone 1 in the emergency notification email, but the present invention is not limited to this. Thereafter, when the communication device 50 receives the emergency notification e-mail, the communication device 50 performs notification based on the emergency notification e-mail. As a result, the communication device 50 can cause a guardian or the like to recognize that the security function of the smartphone 1 has been operated.

  As described above, when the smartphone 1 detects a stop operation to stop the alarm, the camera 12 can perform shooting. For example, when the owner of the smartphone 1 encounters a crime, there is a high possibility that the owner can not afford to operate the smartphone 1 and shoot the criminal H. As in the present embodiment, when the smartphone 1 shoots the stop operation by the criminal H as the shooting operation, the owner of the smartphone 1 does not need to perform the shooting operation. Moreover, since the criminal H who performs the operation of stopping the alarm is highly likely to operate toward the camera 12, the smartphone 1 can increase the possibility of photographing the criminal H by the camera 12. As a result, the smartphone 1 can contribute to deterring crime.

  In the present embodiment, the smartphone 1 has described the case where the output of the alarm sound is stopped in response to the operation of the button 3. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, even if the smartphone 1 detects the operation of the button 3, the smartphone 1 may be configured not to stop the output of the alarm sound. In this case, the smartphone 1 may stop the output of the alarm sound by receiving only the operation of the authenticated user.

  In this embodiment, although the smart phone 1 demonstrates the case where stop operation is detected by either of the buttons 3, it is not limited to this. For example, the smartphone 1 may be configured to perform shooting by the camera 12 when detecting a gesture on the touch screen display 2.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7, a processing procedure of alarm control of the smartphone 1 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure of alarm control of the smartphone 1. The processing procedure shown in FIG. 7 is realized by the controller 10 executing the control program 9A. The processing procedure shown in FIG. 7 is executed when the controller 10 detects a predetermined operation for operating the crime prevention function.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the controller 10 of the smartphone 1 starts outputting an alarm sound at step S101. In the present embodiment, the controller 10 causes the speaker 11 to output an alarm sound, and causes the touch screen display 2 (display 2A) to display information indicating that the alarm is in progress.

  At step S102, the controller 10 determines whether an operation to stop the output of the alarm sound has been detected. Specifically, when the controller 10 detects the operation of the button 3 during the alarm, it determines that the operation of stopping the output is detected. When the operation of output stop is not detected (Step S103, No), the controller 10 re-executes Step S102 and subsequent steps.

  When the operation to stop the output is detected (Yes in step S103), the controller 10 proceeds to step S104. The controller 10 executes an imaging process at step S104. By executing the photographing process, the controller 10 causes the camera 12 to photograph, and stores photographing information indicating the photographing result in the storage 9. When the imaging process is completed, the controller 10 proceeds to step S105.

  At step S105, the controller 10 stops the output of the alarm sound. In the present embodiment, the controller 10 stops the output of the alarm sound from the speaker 11 and erases the information indicating the alarm displayed on the touch screen display 2.

  The controller 10 acquires the position information of the own machine and stores it in the storage 9 as Step S106. Specifically, the controller 10 processes the GPS signal output from the GPS satellite via the communication unit 6 to acquire position information of the own device.

  At Step S107, the controller 10 creates an emergency notification e-mail including shooting information. The emergency notification e-mail including the shooting information includes an e-mail in which the shooting information is incorporated in the text, and an e-mail in which the shooting information is attached. In the present embodiment, the controller 10 attaches shooting information and position information to the emergency notification mail.

  At step S108, the controller 10 transmits the emergency notification mail to the registration destination via the communication unit 6. Thereafter, the controller 10 ends the processing procedure shown in FIG.

  In the above-described embodiment, although the processing procedure illustrated in FIG. 7 has described the case where the output of the alarm sound is stopped after the photographing processing is performed, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the processing procedure may be configured to execute the photographing process after stopping the output of the alarm sound.

  In the above-described embodiment, the shooting process has been described for the case of shooting with the camera 12 which is an in-camera, but is not limited to this. For example, the imaging process may be configured to perform imaging with the camera 12 and the camera 13.

Second Embodiment
The smartphone 1 according to the second embodiment will be described below. The smartphone 1 according to the second embodiment has the same configuration as the smartphone 1 shown in FIG. 4 except that the function of the control program 9A is different. So, below, Embodiment 2 is described using the smart phone 1 as an example.

  The alarm control of the smartphone 1 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of alarm control by the smartphone 1 according to the second embodiment.

  When the smartphone 1 detects the above-described predetermined operation, it displays guide information for guiding the operation to stop the output of the alarm sound on the touch screen display 2 (display 2A) as the step S21, and the alarm sound is displayed. It outputs from the speaker 11. In the present embodiment, the guide information describes the case of having a comment for guiding the operation of the button 3, but is not limited thereto. For example, the guide information may be information for displaying the comment and the object indicating the stop button on the touch screen display 2. In this case, the guide information is information for guiding an operation on an object displayed on the touch screen display 2.

  In this embodiment, although the smart phone 1 displays guide information during an alarm and urges the operation of the button 3, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the smartphone 1 may be configured to output a voice guiding the operation of the button 3 together with the guide information. In this case, the smartphone 1 outputs an alarm sound from the speaker 11 and controls the receiver 7 to output the sound of the guide.

  When the criminal notices the guide information displayed by the smartphone 1 during the alarm, the criminal operates the button 3 based on the guide information to stop the output of the alarm sound. In this case, the criminal is likely to operate in a state of facing the touch screen display 2 of the smartphone 1. The camera 12 has a shooting window arranged on the same side as the side on which the touch screen display 2 is arranged. Therefore, the smartphone 1 activates the camera 12 in response to the detection of the operation during the alarm, and by photographing the area facing the camera 12, it is possible to increase the possibility that the image of the criminal is included in the photographed image.

  Thereafter, in step S22 shown in FIG. 8, the offender presses the button 3 with the finger F based on the guide information. The smartphone 1 detects a stop operation via the button 3 as step S22. When the stop operation during the alarm is detected, the smartphone 1 activates the camera 12 and causes the camera 12 to shoot at step S23. In step S23, it is assumed that the face of the criminal is shown in the photographing result of the smartphone 1.

  When photographing by the camera 12 is completed, the smartphone 1 executes face recognition program 9B at step S24 to perform face recognition of the photographing result. When the photographing result includes the face of a person, the smartphone 1 determines whether the photographed person is the owner.

  If a person different from the owner is included in the shooting result, the smartphone 1 continues outputting the alarm sound, creates an emergency notification email indicating that the crime prevention function has been executed, and attaches the information of the shot image The emergency notification e-mail is sent to the communication device 50 of the predetermined registration destination. Thereafter, when the communication device 50 receives the emergency notification e-mail, the communication device 50 performs notification based on the emergency notification e-mail. As a result, the communication device 50 can cause a guardian or the like to recognize that the security function of the smartphone 1 has been operated.

  Thus, the smartphone 1 can increase the possibility that the criminal operates the button 3 by displaying the information for guiding the operation to stop the output of the alarm sound. As a result, the smartphone 1 can capture the stop operation by the offender as a capturing operation, and can increase the possibility that the capturing result includes the face of the offender. Therefore, the smartphone 1 can contribute to deterring crimes.

  If a person different from the owner is not included in the photographing result but is the owner only, it is unlikely that a crime has occurred, and the owner may have performed an alarm operation by mistake. When the result of face recognition is only the owner, the smartphone 1 stops the output of the alarm sound and erases the displayed guide information.

  Next, a processing procedure of alarm control of the smartphone 1 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure of alarm control of the smartphone 1 according to the second embodiment. The processing procedure shown in FIG. 9 is realized by the controller 10 executing the control program 9A. The processing procedure shown in FIG. 9 is executed when the controller 10 detects a predetermined operation for operating the crime prevention function.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the controller 10 of the smartphone 1 starts outputting an alarm sound as step S201. In the present embodiment, the controller 10 causes the speaker 11 to output an alarm sound. In step S202, the controller 10 causes the touch screen display 2 (display 2A) to display guide information for guiding an operation to stop the output of the alarm sound.

  At step S203, the controller 10 determines whether an operation to stop the output of the alarm sound has been detected. Specifically, when the controller 10 detects the operation guided by the guide information, the controller 10 determines that the operation to stop the output is detected. When the operation of output stop is not detected (Step S204, No), the controller 10 re-executes Step S203 and subsequent steps.

  When the operation to stop the output is detected (Yes in step S204), the controller 10 proceeds to step S205. The controller 10 executes an imaging process at step S205. By executing the photographing process, the controller 10 causes the camera 12 to photograph, and stores photographing information indicating the photographing result in the storage 9. When the photographing process is completed, the controller 10 proceeds to step S206.

  At step S206, the controller 10 executes the face recognition program 9B for photographing information. Specifically, when the controller 10 can extract the face image from the image indicated by the shooting information by executing the face recognition program 9B, the feature of the face indicated by the extracted face image is registered. Perform pattern matching with the owner's face features. The controller 10 determines whether the face image of a person different from the owner is included based on the result of the pattern matching, and stores the determination result in the storage 9. The determination result includes, for example, a result of whether or not face recognition could be performed, and a determination result of whether or not a person different from the owner is included in the photographing result. When the execution of the face recognition program 9B is completed, the controller 10 proceeds to step S207.

  If face recognition has not been performed (Step S207, No), the controller 10 re-executes Step S203 and subsequent steps. If face recognition has been successful (step S207, Yes), the controller 10 proceeds to step S208.

  When a person different from the owner is included in the imaging result (Yes in step S208), the controller 10 proceeds to step S209. The controller 10 acquires the position information of the own machine and stores it in the storage 9 as Step S209. Specifically, the controller 10 processes the GPS signal output from the GPS satellite via the communication unit 6 to acquire position information of the own device.

  At Step S210, the controller 10 creates an emergency notification e-mail including shooting information. At step S211, the controller 10 transmits an emergency notification mail to the registration destination via the communication unit 6. Thereafter, the controller 10 ends the processing procedure shown in FIG.

  When a person different from the owner is not included in the imaging result (step S208, No), the controller 10 proceeds to step S212. The controller 10 stops the output of the alarm sound at step S212. The controller 10 ends the display of the guide information at step S213. Thereafter, the controller 10 ends the processing procedure shown in FIG.

  The disclosed embodiments of the present application can be modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Furthermore, the disclosed embodiments of the present application and their modifications can be combined as appropriate. For example, the above embodiment may be modified as follows.

  For example, each program shown in FIG. 4 may be divided into a plurality of modules, or may be combined with other programs.

  In the above embodiment, the smartphone 1 executes the shooting process to shoot a still image with the camera 12, 13 or the like, but the still image may not capture the face of the offender in the shooting result. There is sex. For example, when an acceleration acts on the smartphone 1, the smartphone 1 may blur an imaging result captured by the cameras 12 and 13. For this reason, the smartphone 1 may be configured to detect the vibration amplitude of the acceleration acting on the own device, and switch between the still image and the moving image for photographing based on the detected vibration amplitude.

  Another processing procedure of the photographing process of the smartphone 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing another processing procedure of the photographing processing of the smartphone 1. The processing procedure shown in FIG. 10 is realized by the controller 10 executing the control program 9A. The processing procedure shown in FIG. 10 is executed as the photographing processing of step S104 shown in FIG. 7 and step S205 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the controller 10 of the smartphone 1 acquires the detection result of the acceleration sensor 15 as Step S301. The detection result of the acceleration sensor 15 includes, for example, an acceleration in the X-axis direction, an acceleration in the Y-axis direction, an acceleration in the Z-axis direction, and a vector value obtained by combining the respective accelerations. At Step S302, the controller 10 determines whether the vibration amplitude of the acceleration is larger than a predetermined value based on the acquired detection result.

  If the vibration amplitude of the acceleration is not larger than the predetermined value (No at Step S303), the controller 10 proceeds to Step S304 because the possibility of blurring the imaging result is low. The controller 10 captures a still image with the cameras 12 and 13 in step S304. The controller 10 stores the shooting information indicating the shot still image in the storage 9 as Step S305. Thereafter, the controller 10 ends the processing procedure shown in FIG.

  If the vibration amplitude of the acceleration is larger than the predetermined value (Yes at Step S303), the controller 10 proceeds to Step S306 because there is a high possibility that the imaging result will be blurred. The controller 10 captures a moving image with the cameras 12 and 13 in step S306. For example, the controller 10 causes the cameras 12 and 13 to shoot moving images over a shooting time of several seconds, minutes, and the like. The controller 10 stores the shooting information indicating the shot moving image in the storage 9 as Step S307. Thereafter, the controller 10 ends the processing procedure shown in FIG.

  As described above, when the acceleration acting on the smartphone 1 is large, the smartphone 1 can improve the possibility of photographing the criminal by photographing the moving image according to the detection of the stop operation during the warning. As a result, the smartphone 1 can provide imaging information that can be effectively used as information for identifying the offender.

  Although the above-mentioned embodiment explained a case where smart phone 1 recorded photography information which shows a picturized animation, it is not limited to this. For example, the smartphone 1 may be configured to record, as shooting information, a frame in which face recognition has been performed among a plurality of images corresponding to a frame (frame) of a moving image.

  Although the above-mentioned embodiment explained a case where smart phone 1 switched and photographed a still picture and a moving picture, it is not limited to this. For example, the smartphone 1 may be configured to capture a moving image with the cameras 12 and 13 in response to the detection of the stop operation during the warning.

  Although the smartphone 1 according to the first and second embodiments described above has described the case where shooting is performed according to the detection of the stop operation when the alarm sound is output, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the smartphone 1 may be configured to control shooting during an alarm based on a change in the surrounding environment.

  Another processing procedure of alarm control performed by the smartphone 1 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating another process of alarm control performed by the smartphone 1 according to the first embodiment. Since the processing procedure shown in FIG. 11 is the same as steps S101 to S108 shown in FIG. 7, steps S101 to S108 will be described, and only different processing will be described.

  As illustrated in FIG. 11, when the controller 10 of the smartphone 1 does not detect the operation of stopping output (No at Step S103), the process proceeds to Step S109. At step S109, the controller 10 determines whether the surrounding environment has changed during the alarm based on the detection results of the various sensors.

  The change in the surrounding environment includes, for example, a change in the distance between the smartphone 1 and a nearby object, a change in the brightness around the smartphone 1, and a change in the state of the smartphone 1. The state of the smartphone 1 includes, for example, a stationary state, a walking state, a running state, and a moving state in a vehicle. The stationary state is a state in which the owner carrying his own machine is stationary or the smartphone 1 is placed. The walking state is a state in which the owner carrying his own aircraft is walking. The traveling state is a state in which the owner carrying his own aircraft is traveling. The moving state in the vehicle is a state in which the owner carrying the aircraft is moving in the vehicle.

  The controller 10 determines a change in the distance between the smartphone 1 and a nearby object based on the detection result of the proximity sensor 5. The controller 10 determines the change in brightness around the smartphone 1 based on the detection result of the illuminance sensor 4. The controller 10 determines a change in the state of the smartphone 1 based on the detection result of the acceleration sensor 15.

  If the surrounding environment has not changed (No at Step S110), the controller 10 re-executes Step S102 and subsequent steps. If the surrounding environment has changed (step S110, Yes), the controller 10 proceeds to step S111. The controller 10 executes an imaging process at step S111. By executing the photographing process, the controller 10 causes at least one of the camera 12 and the camera 13 to photograph, and stores photographing information indicating the photographing result in the storage 9. When the photographing process is completed, the controller 10 re-executes step S102 and subsequent steps.

  Thus, the smartphone 1 can improve the possibility of capturing an image including information of a criminal and information of a crime scene by performing imaging in response to detection of a change in the surrounding environment during an alarm. As a result, the smartphone 1 can provide imaging information that can be effectively used as information for identifying the offender.

  Although said embodiment demonstrated the case where the smart phone 1 image | photographed according to the detection of the change of a surrounding environment, it is not limited to this. For example, the smartphone 1 may be configured to switch between the in-camera and the out-camera and shoot according to a change in the surrounding environment. For example, when the controller 10 detects that the surrounding environment is dark based on the detection result of the illuminance sensor 4, the controller 10 takes a picture with the out camera 13, and when detecting that the surrounding environment is bright, takes a picture with the in camera 12. You may control.
