1. Configuration FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a monitoring system 10 according to an embodiment. The monitoring system 10 provides a monitoring service that monitors abnormalities such as intrusions into a monitoring area 50 where a user enters and leaves. The monitoring area 50 is, for example, a residence where a user resides, and "residence" here does not necessarily mean living there, but also includes staying there for a certain period of time. In addition, in order to improve the usability of the monitoring service that the user can obtain and to increase the motivation to make more use of the monitoring service, the monitoring system 10 analyzes the utilization status of the monitoring service and notifies the user of the analysis results when the user returns to the residence.

The monitoring system 10 includes a plurality of sensors 100, a controller 200, a setting unit 300, a server device 400, a wearable terminal 500, and a user terminal 600. The plurality of sensors 100, the controller 200, and the setting unit 300 are installed in a monitoring area 50 such as a user's residence, and are connected via a communication network 11 such as a LAN (Local Area Network). The server device 400 is installed in a monitoring center operated by a business providing a monitoring service. The wearable terminal 500 and the user terminal 600 are both carried by the user. The controller 200, the server device 400, and the user terminal 600 are connected via a communication network 12 including the Internet and a mobile communication network. The wearable terminal 500 and the user terminal 600 are paired in advance and connected wirelessly.

The multiple sensors 100 are used for intrusion monitoring purposes to detect intruders into the monitoring area 50. When the monitoring area 50 is a residence, the multiple sensors 100 include sensors 100 installed inside the residence (hereinafter also referred to as "indoor sensors 100") and sensors 100 installed outside the residence (hereinafter also referred to as "outdoor sensors 100"). The indoor sensors 100 are installed, for example, at openings such as front doors and windows, traffic lines such as corridors within the residence, and living rooms. The outdoor sensors 100 are installed, for example, in the garden or gate. The multiple sensors 100 include window/door sensors and human presence sensors.

Window/door sensors are installed in openings such as front doors, windows, and gates, and detect the opening of doors and windows. Examples of window/door sensors include sensors that detect the opening of a door by detecting changes in a magnetic field, and sensors that detect the opening of a door by turning a tamper switch on/off. Human presence sensors, also known as spatial sensors, are installed along traffic lines or in rooms to detect the presence of people. Examples of human presence sensors include sensors that detect the presence of people by fluctuations in heat rays, sensors that detect the presence of people by sound waves or high frequency waves, sensors that detect the presence of people from an input image, and sensors that detect the presence of people by the interruption of incident light from a light-projecting unit.

The controller 200 uses the sensor 100 to monitor for intrusions into the monitoring area 50 where users enter and exit, based on the security mode set in response to user operation. The controller 200 is an example of a "security device" according to the present invention. When an intruder is detected by the sensor 100, the controller 200 notifies the server device 400 that an intruder has entered the monitoring area 50. The controller 200 has three security modes: an unmanned security mode, a manned security mode, and a released mode. Since the unmanned security mode and the manned security mode are both security modes that monitor the monitoring area 50, in the following description, the unmanned security mode and the manned security mode are collectively referred to as "security modes."

The unmanned alert mode is a security mode that monitors the entire monitored area 50. The unmanned alert mode is used when the user has gone out and the monitored area 50 is unoccupied. In the unmanned alert mode, when detection information is output from the sensor 100, an abnormality signal is sent from the controller 200 to the server device 400. Note that when the unmanned alert mode is set, it is preferable that the sensor 100 monitoring the user's exit route starts detecting intruders a predetermined time after the unmanned alert mode is set, so as to avoid erroneously detecting a user who is leaving the building as an intruder.

The manned alert mode is a security mode that monitors a part of the monitoring area 50. The manned alert mode is used when a user is present in the monitoring area 50 and an intruder is to be monitored in a part where no user is present. For example, in the manned alert mode, a predetermined outer perimeter area such as a front door, a window, a gate, or the outside of a residence is monitored to detect an intrusion into the monitoring area 50 from the outside. Alternatively, an area designated by a user's operation among a plurality of areas included in the monitoring area 50 may be monitored. In the manned alert mode, when detection information is output from a sensor 100 installed in the outer perimeter area or a designated area (e.g., the second floor), an abnormality signal is transmitted from the controller 200 to the server device 400. On the other hand, even if detection information is output from a sensor 100 installed in a place other than the outer perimeter area or the designated area, this detection information is ignored, and an abnormality signal is not transmitted from the controller 200 to the server device 400.

The disabled mode is a security mode in which the monitored area 50 is not monitored. The disabled mode is used when there is no need to monitor for intruders. In the disabled mode, monitoring for intruders into the monitored area 50 is not performed, and even if detection information is output from the sensor 100, this detection information is ignored and no abnormality signal is sent from the controller 200 to the server device 400.

The setting unit 300 accepts an operation to set the security mode of the controller 200. For example, the setting unit 300 is installed at the entrance of a residence and is used to set the security mode when going out or returning to the residence.

When the server device 400 receives an abnormality signal from the controller 200, it outputs information about the monitored area 50 and the user, prompting the monitoring sensor controller to check with the user or to prompt security guards rushing to the monitored area 50 to take action.

The wearable terminal 500 is worn on the user's arm or other part of the body. The wearable terminal 500 detects various information related to the user and is used for inputting and outputting various information related to the monitoring service. The wearable terminal 500 communicates with the user terminal 600, and, under the instruction of the user terminal 600, performs a process of notifying the user of the analysis results of the security mode usage status. Examples of the wearable terminal 500 include a wristwatch-type wearable terminal, a ring-type wearable terminal, and a glasses-type wearable terminal.

The user terminal 600 is carried by the user in a bag or pocket. The user terminal 600 works in conjunction with the wearable terminal 500 to perform processing for notifying the user of the analysis results of the security mode usage status. The user terminal 600 also communicates with the controller 200 via the server device 400 to acquire the security mode setting history used for analyzing the security mode usage status. Examples of the user terminal 600 include smartphones, mobile phones, personal computers, and tablet terminals. The wearable terminal 500 and the user terminal 600 are both examples of the "mobile terminal" according to the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the controller 200. The controller 200 includes a control unit 201, a storage unit 202, a communication unit 203, an operation unit 204, a display unit 205, and a sound unit 206. The various units of the controller 200 are connected via a bus.

The control unit 201 is a processor that controls each part of the device and performs various processes. For example, the control unit 201 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The storage unit 202 is a memory that stores various data such as programs for implementing the functions of the device and the currently set security mode. For example, the storage unit 202 includes at least one of a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and an SSD (Solid State Drive). The communication unit 203 is a communication interface for connecting the device to the communication networks 11 and 12. The communication unit 203 is used to communicate with other devices connected via the communication networks 11 or 12.

The operation unit 204 accepts various operations for the device itself, such as an operation to set a security mode. For example, the operation unit 204 includes a touch sensor that accepts operations on the screen of the display unit 205, and an operation button that accepts an operation to set the security mode. The display unit 205 displays various information such as the currently set security mode, the state of the sensor 100, and information indicating the installation location of the sensor 100. For example, the display unit 205 includes a liquid crystal display. The display unit 205 may also be configured as a touch panel in combination with a touch sensor. The sound unit 206 outputs various sounds such as a sound notifying the occurrence of an abnormality, a voice message, etc. For example, the sound unit 206 includes a speaker.

The control unit 201 functions as an acquisition unit 211, a setting unit 212, and a transmission unit 213. These functions are realized by the control unit 201 executing a program stored in the storage unit 202, and the control unit 201 performing calculations or controlling each unit of the controller 200.

When an operation to set security mode is performed using the setting unit 300, the acquisition means 211 acquires operation information indicating this operation.

The setting means 212 sets one of a plurality of security modes in response to a user's operation. When an operation to set a security mode is performed using the operation unit 204, the setting means 212 sets a security mode in response to this operation, and when an operation to set a security mode is performed using the setting unit 300, the setting means 212 sets a security mode in response to the operation information acquired by the acquisition means 211.

The transmission means 213 transmits security mode information indicating the security mode set by the setting means 212 to the server device 400. The security mode information may be transmitted each time the security mode is changed, or the security mode information may be temporarily stored in the memory unit 202 each time the security mode is changed and transmitted collectively at a predetermined time interval. The security mode information includes information indicating the type of security mode that has been set and the date and time when that security mode was set.

Figure 3 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the server device 400. The server device 400 includes a control unit 401, a storage unit 402, and a communication unit 403. The various units of the server device 400 are connected via a bus. The control unit 401, the storage unit 402, and the communication unit 403 are basically the same as the control unit 201, the storage unit 202, and the communication unit 203 of the controller 200, respectively. However, the communication unit 403 is a communication interface for connecting the device itself to the communication network 12, and is used to communicate with other devices connected via the communication network 12.

The functions of the server device 400 are realized by the control unit 401 executing a program stored in the memory unit 402, and the control unit 401 performing calculations or controlling each part of the server device 400.

Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the wearable terminal 500. The wearable terminal 500 includes a control unit 501, a memory unit 502, a communication unit 503, an operation unit 504, a display unit 505, and a sensor unit 506. Each unit of the wearable terminal 500 is connected via a bus. The control unit 501, the memory unit 502, the operation unit 504, and the display unit 505 are basically the same as the control unit 201, the memory unit 202, the operation unit 204, and the display unit 205 of the controller 200, respectively. However, the memory unit 502 stores an application program for realizing the functions of the wearable terminal 500. The operation unit 504 includes, for example, a touch sensor that accepts operations on the screen of the display unit 505, and an operation button that accepts various operations. The display unit 505 is an example of a "display means" according to the present invention. The communication unit 503 is used to wirelessly communicate with the user terminal 600 in accordance with a wireless communication standard. The communication unit 503 performs pairing with the user terminal 600.

The sensor unit 506 includes various sensors that detect various information related to the wearable terminal 500 or the user. The sensor unit 506 includes a GPS (Global Positioning System) or GNSS (global navigation satellite system) receiver, a geomagnetic sensor, an altimeter, a blood oxygen concentration sensor, a heartbeat sensor, an acceleration sensor, and a gyro sensor. The GPS or GNSS receiver receives a signal from a GPS or GNSS satellite and measures the position of the wearable terminal 500 based on the received signal. The geomagnetic sensor measures the direction of the wearable terminal 500 by detecting geomagnetism. The altimeter measures the altitude of the wearable terminal 500. The blood oxygen concentration sensor measures the oxygen concentration in the user's blood. The heartbeat sensor measures the user's heartbeat. The acceleration sensor measures the acceleration of the wearable terminal 500. The gyro sensor measures the angular velocity of the wearable terminal 500. The sensors included in the sensor unit 506 are not limited to the above-mentioned sensors. The sensor unit 506 may include other sensors.

The control unit 501 functions as a measurement means 511, a transmission means 512, a display control means 513, a change request means 514, and a notification means 515. These functions are realized by the control unit 501 executing a program stored in the storage unit 502, and the control unit 501 performing calculations or controlling each part of the wearable terminal 500.

The measuring means 511 measures various measurements related to the user's health management using the detection results of the sensor unit 506. The measurements are performed using known technology. These measurements are divided into measurements related to the user's body and measurements related to the user's activity. For example, the measurements related to the user's body include the level of oxygen absorbed into the blood, heart rate at rest or while walking, and an electrocardiogram. The measurements related to the user's activity include the number of steps, distance traveled while walking or running, walking asymmetry, stride length, walking speed, exercise time equivalent to or greater than brisk walking, time spent standing and moving per unit time, calories burned while active or at rest, and workout information.

The transmission means 512 transmits health care data indicating the measurement values measured by the measurement means 511 to the user terminal 600. The health care data includes the measurement values measured by the measurement means 511 and the date and time of the measurement. The health care data is transmitted, for example, at a predetermined time interval.

When a user who is out approaches the monitoring area 50, the display control means 513 causes the display unit 505 to display an operation image used to change to the release mode.

The change request means 514 requests the controller 200 to change to the release mode in response to an operation using the operation image displayed on the display unit 505.

When the user returns to the monitoring area 50, the notification means 515 notifies the user of the analysis results of the security mode usage status and the analysis results of the user's activity status.

Figure 5 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the user terminal 600. The user terminal 600 includes a control unit 601, a memory unit 602, a communication unit 603, an operation unit 604, a display unit 605, and a sensor unit 606. Each unit of the user terminal 600 is connected via a bus. The control unit 601, the memory unit 602, the communication unit 603, the operation unit 604, the display unit 605, and the sensor unit 606 are basically the same as the control unit 201, the memory unit 202, the communication unit 403 of the server device 400, the operation unit 204, the display unit 205, and the sensor unit 506 of the wearable terminal 500, respectively. However, the memory unit 602 stores an application program for realizing the functions of the user terminal 600. The communication unit 603 is further used to wirelessly communicate with the wearable terminal 500 according to a wireless communication standard. The communication unit 603 performs pairing with the wearable device 500. The operation unit 604 includes, for example, a touch sensor that accepts operations on the screen of the display unit 605, and operation buttons that accept various operations.

The control unit 601 functions as a determination means 611, a display instruction means 612, an acquisition means 613, a first analysis means 614, a second analysis means 615, and a notification instruction means 616. These functions are realized by the control unit 601 executing a program stored in the storage unit 602, and the control unit 601 performing calculations or controlling each part of the user terminal 600.

The determination means 611 determines whether the user has left the monitoring area 50, returned to the monitoring area 50, or approached the monitoring area 50. "Returning" here refers to returning to the monitoring area 50. The monitoring area 50 is not necessarily limited to the user's home, and may be a place other than the user's home. Therefore, "returning" is not limited to returning home, but includes returning to a place other than one's home. For example, if the monitoring area 50 is the building where the user works, returning from going to work or going out is considered to be returning to the building, and going outside the building is considered to be going out.

As a method for determining that a user has left the monitoring area 50, for example, a nearby area 51 is set around the monitoring area 50 in advance, and if the position measured by the GPS or GNSS receiver of the sensor unit 606 moves from within the nearby area 51 to outside, it is determined that the user has left the monitoring area 50. As a method for determining the approach to the monitoring area 50, there is a method for determining that the user has approached the monitoring area 50 if the position measured by the GPS or GNSS receiver of the sensor unit 606 moves from outside to inside the nearby area 51. As a method for determining that a user has returned to the monitoring area 50, there is a method for determining that the user has approached the monitoring area 50 and the mode is changed to the release mode in response to an operation using an operation image displayed on the wearable terminal 50, which indicates that the user is now in a situation where he or she can enter the monitoring area 50, and therefore it is determined that the user has returned to the monitoring area 50.

When the determination means 611 determines that the user has approached the monitoring area 50, the display instruction means 612 instructs the wearable device 500 to display an operation image used to change to the release mode.

When the determination means 611 determines that the user has returned to the monitoring area 50, the acquisition means 613 acquires the security mode setting history for the analysis period from the server device 400.

The first analysis means 614 analyzes the utilization status of the security mode using the setting history acquired by the acquisition means 613. The first analysis means 614 performs statistical processing on the usage time of each security mode, and evaluates the utilization status of the security mode using the results of the statistical processing. For example, the first analysis means 614 evaluates the utilization status of the security mode using the total usage time of the security mode. At this time, the first analysis means 614 gives a higher evaluation the longer the total usage time of the security mode.

The second analysis means 615 analyzes the activity status of the user using the health care data acquired from the wearable device 500. The second analysis means 615 performs statistical processing on the measurement values included in the health care data.

When the determination means 611 determines that the user has returned to the monitoring area 50, the notification instruction means 616 instructs the wearable device 500 to notify the user of the analysis results of the first analysis means 614 and the analysis results of the second analysis means 615. The notification instruction means 616 is an example of the "transmission means" according to the present invention.

6 is a sequence chart showing an example of the operation of the monitoring system 10. Here, a series of operations from when a user in the monitoring area 50 goes out until he or she returns to the building will be described.

In step S11, the determination means 611 of the user terminal 600 determines whether the user has left the monitoring area 50. For example, if the position measured by the GPS or GNSS receiver of the sensor unit 606 is included in the nearby area 51, it is considered that the user is within the monitoring area 50, and it is determined that the user has not left the monitoring area 50 (NO in step S11). In this case, the determination in step S11 is repeated. On the other hand, if the position measured by the GPS or GNSS receiver of the sensor unit 606 has moved from within the nearby area 51 to outside, this indicates that the user has already left the monitoring area 50, and it is determined that the user has left the monitoring area 50 (YES in step S11). In this case, the process proceeds to step S12.

In step S12, the determination means 611 of the user terminal 600 determines whether or not the user has approached the monitoring area 50. For example, if the position measured by the GPS or GNSS receiver of the sensor unit 606 is not included in the nearby area 51, it is determined that the user has not approached the monitoring area 50 (NO in step S12), and the determination in step S12 is repeated. On the other hand, for example, if the position measured by the GPS or GNSS receiver of the sensor unit 606 has moved from outside to inside the nearby area 51, it is determined that the user has approached the monitoring area 50 (YES in step S12), and the process proceeds to step S13.

In step S13, the display instruction means 612 of the user terminal 600 determines whether the security mode currently set for the monitoring area 50 is the alert mode. There are several examples of methods for determining whether the current security mode is the alert mode. As one example, prior to this process, the transmission means 213 of the controller 200 transmits security mode information indicating the security mode set by the setting means 212 to the user terminal 600 via the server device 400. At this time, the security mode information is first transmitted from the controller 200 to the server device 400, transferred from the server device 400 to the user terminal 600, and received by the user terminal 600. In the user terminal 600, the received security mode information is stored in the memory unit 602. Note that the security mode information may be transmitted each time the security mode is changed, or the security mode information may be temporarily stored in the memory unit 202 of the controller 200 each time the security mode is changed and transmitted collectively at a predetermined time interval. This security mode information includes the setting date and time of the security mode. The display instruction means 612 of the user terminal 600 uses the latest security mode information stored in the memory unit 602 to determine whether the current security mode is the alert mode.

As another example, prior to this process, the transmission means 213 of the controller 200 transmits security mode information indicating the security mode set by the setting means 212 to the server device 400. In the server device 400, the security mode information received from the controller 200 is stored in the memory unit 402. As in the above example, the security mode information may be transmitted each time the security mode is changed, or may be transmitted collectively at a predetermined time interval. The acquisition means 613 of the user terminal 600 acquires the latest security mode information indicating the currently set security mode from the server device 400. At this time, a request to acquire the latest security mode information is transmitted from the user terminal 600 to the server device 400. In response to this acquisition request, the latest security mode information is read from the memory unit 402 of the server device 400 and transmitted from the server device 400 to the user terminal 600. The display instruction means 612 of the user terminal 600 uses the latest security mode information acquired from the server device 400 to determine whether the current security mode is the alert mode.

If the security mode indicated by the latest security mode information is the deactivation mode, it is determined that the current security mode is not the alert mode (NO in step S13), and the process skips steps S14 to S19 described below and proceeds to step S20. On the other hand, if the security mode indicated by the latest security mode information is the manned alert mode or the unmanned alert mode, it is determined that the current security mode is the alert mode (YES in step S13), and the process proceeds to step S14.

In step S14, the display instruction means 612 of the user terminal 600 transmits an instruction to display the security mode operation screen 800 to the wearable terminal 500. This display instruction includes security mode information indicating the current security mode.

In step S15, the display control means 513 of the wearable terminal 500 displays the security mode operation screen 800 on the display unit 505 in accordance with the display instruction received from the user terminal 600. Here, once the user is authenticated when the wearable terminal 500 is worn, the authenticated state is maintained while the user is wearing the terminal. Therefore, the security mode operation screen 800 is displayed without going through user authentication processing.

Figure 7 is a diagram showing an example of the screen transition of the wearable device 500. The security mode operation screen 800 includes security mode information indicating the current security mode, and a change security mode button 802. For example, if the current security mode is the unmanned security mode, as shown in Figure 7, the operation screen 800 includes a message indicating that the current security mode is the unmanned security mode. The change button 802 is used to change the current security mode to the release mode. The change button 802 is an example of an "operation image" according to the present invention. To change to the release mode, the user presses the change button 802 using the operation unit 504.

In step S16, when the change button 802 is pressed, the change request means 514 of the wearable terminal 500 transmits a request to change to the release mode to the controller 200 via the user terminal 600 and the server device 400. At this time, the change request is first transmitted from the wearable terminal 500 to the user terminal 600, transferred from the user terminal 600 to the server device 400, further transferred from the server device 400 to the controller 200, and received by the controller 200.

In step S17, the setting means 212 of the controller 200 changes the current security mode to the cancellation mode in response to the received change request. For example, if the unmanned security mode is set, the setting means 212 changes the unmanned security mode to the cancellation mode.

In step S18, the transmission means 213 of the controller 200 transmits a change completion notification to the wearable terminal 500 via the server device 400 and the user terminal 600, notifying that the change to the release mode has been completed. At this time, the change completion notification is first transmitted from the controller 200 to the server device 400, transferred from the server device 400 to the user terminal 600, and further transferred from the user terminal 600 to the wearable terminal 500, and received by the wearable terminal 500.

In step S19, in response to the received change completion notification, the display control means 513 of the wearable terminal 500 causes the display unit 505 to display a change completion screen 810 notifying that the change to the release mode has been completed. As shown in FIG. 7, the change completion screen 810 includes a message indicating that the change to the release mode has been completed, and an "OK" button 811. After reading this message, the user presses the "OK" button 811 using the operation unit 504. When the mode is changed to the release mode, intrusion monitoring of the monitored area 50 is released, and so the user can, for example, open the front door and enter the monitored area 50.

In step S20, the determination means 611 of the user terminal 600 determines that the user has returned to the monitored area 50 because the user has approached the monitored area 50 and the mode has been changed to the deactivation mode. Note that in step S13 described above, if it is determined that the currently set security mode is not the alert mode (NO in step S13), the deactivation mode has already been set, so the determination means 611 may determine that the user has returned to the monitored area 50 because the user has approached the monitored area 50 and the currently set security mode has been determined to be not the alert mode.

In step S21, the acquisition means 613 of the user terminal 600 acquires the security mode setting history for the analysis period from the server device 400. Here, the analysis period is assumed to be from the day on which it is determined that the user has returned to the monitored area 50 to one week prior to that day. However, for the day on which it is determined that the user has returned to the monitored area 50, the analysis period includes the period from midnight to the time it is determined that the user has returned to the monitored area 50. The analysis period is an example of a predetermined period according to the present invention. For example, if the date and time on which it is determined that the user has returned to the monitored area 50 is 5:00 p.m. on April 15, 20XX, the analysis period will be from midnight on April 8, 20XX to 5:00 p.m. on April 15, 20XX, one week prior to April 15.

Here, prior to this process, the transmission means 213 of the controller 200 transmits security mode information indicating the security mode set by the setting means 212 to the server device 400. The security mode information may be transmitted each time the security mode is changed, or the security mode information may be temporarily stored in the memory unit 202 each time the security mode is changed and transmitted collectively at a predetermined time interval. In the server device 400, the security mode information received from the controller 200 is stored in the memory unit 402. In this way, the memory unit 402 of the server device 400 accumulates security mode information indicating the changed security mode in response to a change in the security mode. The security mode information includes information indicating the type of security mode that has been set and the date and time when that security mode was set. Therefore, the security mode setting history is composed of multiple pieces of security mode information stored in the memory unit 402 of the server device 400.

To obtain the security mode setting history for the analysis period, the user terminal 600 transmits a request to obtain the security mode setting history for the analysis period to the server device 400. In response to this request, a request to obtain the security mode setting history for the analysis period is read from the memory unit 402 of the server device 400 and transmitted from the server device 400 to the user terminal 600. When the user terminal 600 receives this setting history from the server device 400, the received setting history is stored in the memory unit 602. Note that the user terminal 600 may not request to obtain the security mode setting history, but may instead use the security mode setting history stored in the user terminal 600 each time security mode information is received from the server device 400.

In step S22, the first analysis means 614 of the user terminal 600 uses the setting history stored in the memory unit 602 to analyze the utilization status of the security mode during the analysis period. Specifically, the first analysis means 614 uses the setting history to calculate the total usage time of the security mode during the analysis period. The setting history of the security mode stored in the memory unit 602 includes the setting date and time of each security mode. The setting date and time of each security mode is obtained from the setting date and time of each security mode. For example, if the manned security mode is set from 0:00 to 9:00 on April 8, 20XX, the usage time of the manned security mode during this time period is 9 hours. Next, the usage time of the manned security mode during the analysis period is added up to obtain the total usage time of the manned security mode during the analysis period. Similarly, the usage time of the unmanned security mode during the analysis period is added up to obtain the total usage time of the unmanned security mode during the analysis period. Here, the security mode includes the manned security mode and the unmanned security mode. Therefore, the total usage time of the alert mode during the analysis period can be obtained by adding together the total usage time of the attended alert mode and the total usage time of the unattended alert mode during the analysis period.

The first analysis means 614 then evaluates the utilization status of the security mode by determining the utilization level of the security service using the total usage time of the security mode during the analysis period. Here, "Level 0" to "Level 5" are used to indicate the utilization level of the security service. "Level 0" is the lowest evaluation, and the evaluation increases in the order of "Level 1" to "Level 5."

There are several examples of methods for determining the usage level of the alert service. In one example, the first analysis means 614 determines the usage level of the alert service by comparing the total usage time of the alert mode with a threshold value. For example, if the total usage time of the alert mode is 0 hours, the usage level of the alert service is determined to be "Level 0." If the total usage time of the alert mode is more than 0 hours and less than 33 hours, the usage level of the alert service is determined to be "Level 1." If the total usage time of the alert mode is 33 hours or more and less than 67 hours, the usage level of the alert service is determined to be the third lowest level, "Level 2." If the total usage time of the alert mode is 67 hours or more, the usage level of the alert service is determined to be "Level 3."

In another example, the first analysis means 614 calculates the proportion of the usage time of the alert mode in the analysis period using the total usage time of the alert mode. For example, if the length of the analysis period is 185 hours and the total usage time of the alert mode in the analysis period is 100 hours, the proportion of the usage time of the alert mode is 100/185×100=approximately 54%. Next, the first analysis means 614 determines the usage level of the alert service by comparing the proportion of the usage time of the alert mode with a threshold value. For example, if the proportion of the usage time of the alert mode is 0%, the usage level of the alert service is determined to be "Level 0". If the proportion of the usage time of the alert mode is more than 0% and less than 20%, the usage level of the alert service is determined to be "Level 1". If the proportion of the usage time of the alert mode is 20% or more and less than 40%, the usage level of the alert service is determined to be "Level 2". If the proportion of the usage time of the alert mode is 40% or more, the usage level of the alert service is determined to be "Level 3".

The first analysis means 614 also adjusts the usage level of the alert service according to the type of alert mode set during the analysis period indicated by the alert mode setting history. Specifically, the first analysis means 614 increases the usage level of the alert service by one if the manned alert mode is used at least once during the analysis evaluation period. The first analysis means 614 also increases the usage level of the alert service by one if there are five or more days during the analysis evaluation period when the alert mode was used at least once.

In step S23, the second analysis means 615 uses the user's health care data to analyze the user's activity status during the period when the user was away from home. This period when the user was away from home is the period from the time when it is determined in step S11 that the user has gone away to the time when it is determined in step S20 that the user has returned to the building. Here, the period when the user was away from home is assumed to be from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on April 15, 20XX.

Prior to this process, the transmission means 512 of the wearable terminal 500 transmits the health care data to the user terminal 600 at a predetermined time interval. In the user terminal 600, the health care data received from the wearable terminal 500 is stored in the memory unit 602. This health care data includes the measurement values measured by the measurement means 511 of the wearable terminal 500 and the measurement date and time of the measurement values.

The health care data includes calories burned while active or at rest. For example, the second analysis means 615 refers to the measurement date and time of calories burned stored in the memory unit 602 and extracts the calories burned measured during the period when the user was away from home from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on April 15, 20XX. The second analysis means 615 then calculates the calories burned by the user during the period when the user was away from home by aggregating the extracted calories burned. For example, if the calories burned during the time period when the user was away from home from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on April 15, 20XX are 100 kcal, and the calories burned during the time period when the user was away from home from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. are 102 kcal, the sum of these calories burned, or 202 kcal, is the calories burned by the user during the period when the user was away from home.

In step S24, the notification instruction means 616 of the user terminal 600 transmits a notification instruction to the previously paired wearable terminal 500 to instruct the wearable terminal 500 to notify the user of the analysis results of the security mode utilization status obtained in step S22 and the analysis results of the user's activity status obtained in step S23. This notification instruction includes these analysis results. The notification instruction transmitted from the user terminal 600 is received by the wearable terminal 500.

In step S25, the notification means 515 of the wearable device 500 causes the display unit 505 to display a notification screen 820 notifying the analysis results included in the notification instruction in accordance with the received notification instruction. This notification screen 820 may be displayed in response to pressing the "OK" button 811 on the change completion screen 810 shown in FIG. 7.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, the notification screen 820 includes the calories burned by the user during the time they were away from home and the usage of the monitoring service during the analysis period. For example, if the calories burned by the user during the time they were away from home are 202 kcal, a message including this calorie burn, such as "You burned 202 kcal during this outing," is displayed as shown in FIG. 7. In this way, the analysis results of the user's activity status notified by the notification screen 820 include the measurements related to the user's health management taken during the time they were away from home.

The usage level of the monitoring service may be displayed as "Level 0" to "Level 5" or, to provide more entertainment to the user, "Level 0" and "Level 1" may be converted to "Beginner", "Level 2" to "Half-expert", "Level 3" to "Full-fledged", "Level 4" to "Expert", and "Level 5" to "Expert". For example, if the usage level of the monitoring service is "Level 3", a message containing information equivalent to "Level 3", "Your usage level of the monitoring service is full-fledged", is displayed as shown in FIG. 7. In this way, the analysis result of the security mode usage status notified by the notification screen 820 includes an evaluation result according to the total usage time of the security mode during the analysis period.

According to the above-described embodiment, the analysis results of the monitoring service usage status are fed back to the user when the user returns to the building, which is a time when the user's interest is likely to be attracted, making it easier for the user to recognize the analysis results of the monitoring service usage status. As a result, the user can be given a sense of using the monitoring service, and the user's motivation to make greater use of the monitoring service can be increased. For example, if the monitoring mode is not being used much, the user's recognition of the analysis results can motivate the user to make greater use of the monitoring mode. Also, even if the monitoring mode is being used, the user's recognition of the analysis results can motivate the user to continue using the monitoring mode.

In addition, the analysis results of the monitoring service usage are sent to the user via push notification without the user having to perform any operation, so even users who are not particularly interested in using the monitoring service can easily recognize the analysis results of the monitoring service usage. Furthermore, by recognizing the analysis results of the monitoring service usage, the user is reminded that they are using the monitoring service in their daily lives, and is able to appreciate the value of using the monitoring service. In addition, the analysis results of the monitoring service usage are notified to the user together with the analysis results of the activity status in which the user is most interested, so that even users who are not very interested in using the monitoring service can be effectively attracted to the analysis results. In addition, by notifying the user of the analysis results of the period of time away from home until the user returns to the building, the user can immediately grasp the activity status of the time they have just been away from home.

Furthermore, when the user approaches the monitored area 50, the security mode operation screen 800 is displayed, and by pressing the change button 802, the security mode is changed to the disabled mode, so that the security mode can be easily changed to the disabled mode before entering the monitored area 50.

3. Modifications The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. The above-described embodiment may be modified as in the following examples. In this case, two or more of the following modifications may be used in combination.

Variation 1
In the above-described embodiment, the method of determining that the user has returned is not limited to the method based on the user's approach to the monitoring area 50 and the change to the cancellation mode. For example, when the position measured by the GPS or GNSS receiver of the sensor unit 606 moves from outside to inside the vicinity area 51, it may be determined that the user has returned. Also, when the radio wave intensity received by the user terminal 600 from a device such as a beacon installed in the monitoring area 50 becomes equal to or greater than a threshold, it may be determined that the user has returned. Also, when the opening of the front door is detected by a door sensor installed on the front door, it may be determined that the user has returned. Furthermore, at least two of these methods may be used in combination. For example, when the position measured by the GPS or GNSS receiver of the sensor unit 606 moves from outside to inside the vicinity area 51, it may be determined that the user has returned when the radio wave intensity received by the wearable terminal 500 from a device such as a beacon installed in the monitoring area 50 becomes equal to or greater than a threshold, or when the opening of the front door is detected by a door sensor installed on the front door.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the method of determining whether the user has gone out is not limited to the method based on the relationship between the nearby area 51 and the user's location. For example, if the radio wave intensity received by the user terminal 600 from a device such as a beacon set in the monitoring area 50 falls below a threshold, it may be determined that the user has gone out.

Variation 2
In the above-described embodiment, if it is determined in step S13 that the current security mode is not the alert mode, the user may be notified that the deactivation mode is set. At this time, if information about the user who changed to the deactivation mode is recorded, the information about the user who changed to the deactivation mode may also be notified to the user. For example, if the deactivation mode is set in step S13, the display instruction means 612 of the user terminal 600 transmits a display instruction signal to the wearable terminal 500 instructing the wearable terminal 500 to display a screen indicating that the deactivation mode is set, and the display control means 513 of the wearable terminal 500 that receives the display instruction signal displays a screen based on the instruction content.

Variation 3

In the above-described embodiment, the end of the analysis period is not limited to the time when it is determined that the user has returned to the building. The end of the analysis period may be midnight on the day before it is determined that the user has returned to the building. For example, if it is determined that the user has returned to the building at 5:00 p.m. on April 15, 20XX, the analysis period may end at midnight on April 14, 20XX.

The analysis period may be determined based on a preset reference point. Here, it is assumed that the reference point is set to 6:00 every day. For example, if the user is determined to have returned to the facility at 17:00 on April 15, 20XX, the reference point at which the analysis period ends will be 6:00 on April 15, which is the closest reference point before 17:00 on April 15, 20XX. In this case, the analysis period will be from 6:00 on April 8 to 6:00 on April 15, which is the same time one week before this reference point.

In the above-described embodiment, the analysis period is not limited to one week. The analysis period may be one month. Here, four weeks is considered to be one month. For example, if the user's return is determined at 17:00 on April 15, 20XX, the analysis period may be from 00:00 on March 19, four weeks prior to April 15, 20XX, to 17:00 on April 15. Alternatively, the start time of the analysis period may be 17:00 on March 19, instead of 00:00 on March 18, to match the time when the user's return is determined.

The period to be analyzed may be one day. For example, if it is determined that the user has returned to the building at 17:00 on April 15, 20XX, then the period to be analyzed is from 00:00 on April 14, one day before April 15, 20XX, to 17:00 on April 15. Alternatively, the start time of the period to be analyzed may be 17:00 on April 14, instead of 00:00 on April 14, to match the time when it is determined that the user has returned to the building.

The analysis period may be the current month. The current month refers to the month to which the current time belongs. For example, if the user's return is determined at 5 p.m. on April 15, 20XX, the analysis period may be from April 1 to April 15, 20XX. Furthermore, the memory unit 602 of the user terminal 600 stores the analysis results for the entire period from the start date of use to the current time, and these may be displayed on the display unit 605 of the user terminal 600 or the display unit 505 of the wearable terminal 500 in response to the user's operation.

The period to be analyzed may be the period during which the user is away from home. In this modified example, the usage status of the security mode during the period from when the user leaves the building until the user returns next is analyzed, and the analysis results are notified. For example, if the total usage time of the security mode during the period during which the user is away from home is four hours, the user may be notified with a message stating "The security mode was set for four hours while you were away from home this time." If both the unmanned security mode and the manned security mode are used, a message indicating the total usage time of the unmanned security mode and the total usage time of the manned security mode may be notified instead of the total usage time of the security mode. If the security mode is not used during the period during which the user is away from home, the user may be notified with a message stating "The security mode was not set."

Variation 4
In the above-described embodiment, the method of adjusting the usage level of the alert service is not limited to the method described in the embodiment. For example, in the out-of-home period included in the analysis target period, if the release mode is used for a predetermined time (e.g., 10 minutes) or more, the usage level of the alert service may be reduced by one. This is to prevent the usage level of the alert service from being reduced in such a case, since it may take some time for the user to perform the operation to set the alert mode after the out-of-home determination. This out-of-home period may be the period from the time the user goes out to the time the user returns, or, in the case of multiple users entering and leaving the alert area, may be the absence period from the time all users go out to the time at least one of these users first returns. The absence period may be determined based on the judgment results of the out-of-home determination and the return determination by the user terminal 600 used by each user who enters and leaves the monitoring area 50, for example. Note that the absence period may be a period in which the multiple sensors 100 have not detected the user for a predetermined time (e.g., 1 hour) or more. The out-of-home period described above is also included in the absence period.

The degree of use of the alert service may also be adjusted depending on the type of security mode used during the analysis period and the user's healthcare data measured during the analysis period. For example, if the deactivation mode is used during a period when the user is at home that is included in the analysis period, and the amount of activity indicated by the healthcare data of the user wearing the wearable device 500 is below a threshold, the degree of use of the alert service may be reduced by one.

Furthermore, the usage level of the alert service may be adjusted depending on the number of times the alert mode was changed to during the analysis period. For example, if the number of times during the analysis period that the alert mode was changed from the deactivated mode to the attended alert mode or the unattended alert mode was 14 or more, the usage level of the alert service may be increased by one, and if the number of times during the analysis period was 28 or more, the usage level of the alert service may be increased by two. However, this number is counted as one only if the alert mode was maintained for a specified time (e.g., 10 minutes) or more after the change to the alert mode. If the alert mode is changed again before the specified time has elapsed after the change to the alert mode, it will not be counted.

Furthermore, the usage level of the alert service may be adjusted according to the number of consecutive days of usage described above. For example, if the number of consecutive days of usage is 10 days, the usage level of the alert service may be increased by one, and if the number of consecutive days of usage is 20 days, the usage level of the alert service may be increased by two.

Variation 5
In the above-described embodiment, the number of levels of utilization of the monitoring service is not limited to six. The number of levels of utilization of the monitoring service may be five or less, or seven or more. Furthermore, the expression of the utilization of the monitoring service is not limited to "Level 0" to "Level 5", "Beginner", "Semi-professional", "Full-fledged", "Expert", and "Master". The utilization of the monitoring service may be expressed as "High", "Medium", and "Low", or may be expressed by points, number of stars, medal color (gold, silver, bronze), icon, etc.

Variation 6
In the above-described embodiment, the analysis result of the utilization status of the security mode is not limited to the utilization degree of the monitoring service. The analysis result of the utilization status of the security mode may include the total usage time of the security mode in the analysis period. For example, if the total usage time of the security mode in the analysis period is 100 hours, the notification screen 820 may include a message saying "The total usage time of the security mode this week was 100 hours."

The analysis result of the usage status of the security mode may also include the number of consecutive days up to the present time when the security mode was used at least once (hereinafter referred to as the "number of consecutive days of security mode use"). In this modification, the first analysis means 614 counts the number of consecutive days of security mode use (the number of consecutive days on which the security mode was set at least once or on which the security mode was set for two hours or more, etc.) using the setting history stored in the storage unit 602, and uses this as the analysis result. For example, if the date and time when it is determined that the user returned to the monitoring area 50 is 17:00 on April 15, 20XX, and the security mode was used at least once on each day from April 2 to April 14, 20XX, but the security mode was not used on April 1, 20XX, the number of consecutive days of security mode use will be 13 days, which is the number of days from April 2 to April 14, 20XX. If the number of consecutive days of use of the alert mode is 13 days, the notification screen 820 may include a message including the number of consecutive days of use, such as "The number of consecutive days of use of the alert mode is the 13th day."

Furthermore, the analysis result of the utilization status of the security mode may include an evaluation result according to the number of consecutive days of use of the alert mode. In this modified example, the first analysis means 614 performs the evaluation by determining the level of the number of consecutive days of use using the number of consecutive days of use of the alert mode. The level of the number of consecutive days of use is the lowest at "Level 1" and increases in the order of "Level 2" to "Level 4". For example, if the number of consecutive days of use of the alert mode is less than 5 days, the level of the number of consecutive days of use is determined to be "Level 1". If the number of consecutive days of use of the alert mode is 5 days or more, the level of the number of consecutive days of use is determined to be "Level 2". If the number of consecutive days of use of the alert mode is 10 days or more, the level of the number of consecutive days of use is determined to be "Level 3". If the number of consecutive days of use of the alert mode is one month or more, the level of the number of consecutive days of use is determined to be "Level 4". If the level of the number of consecutive days of use is "Level 3", the notification screen 820 may include the level of the number of consecutive days of use of "Level 3" or information equivalent to "Level 3".

Furthermore, the analysis result of the usage status of the security mode may include the total number of days during which the security mode was used at least once during the analysis period (hereinafter referred to as the "total number of days during which the security mode was used"). In this modification, the first analysis means 614 uses the setting history stored in the storage unit 602 to calculate the total number of days during which the security mode was used (the total number of days on which the security mode was set at least once, the total number of days on which the security mode was set for two hours or more, etc.), and uses this as the analysis result. For example, if the days on which the security mode was used at least once during the analysis period from April 7 to April 15, 20XX, are April 7, 10, and 15, 20XX, the total number of days during which the security mode was used will be three days, which is the sum of these days. If the total number of days during which the security mode was used is three days, the notification screen 820 may include a message including the total number of days, such as "The total number of days during which the security mode was used is three days."

Furthermore, the analysis results of the usage status of the security mode may include an evaluation result according to the total number of days that the security mode was used. In this modified example, the first analysis means 614 performs the evaluation by determining the level of the total number of days of use using the total number of days that the security mode was used. The level of the total number of days of use increases as the total number of days that the security mode was used increases. The notification screen 820 may include the level of the total number of days of use, or information equivalent to the level of the total number of days of use.

Variation 7
In the above-described embodiment, the analysis result of the activity status notified to the user is not limited to the calories consumed by the user during the period when the user is away from home. The analysis result of the activity status notified to the user may be a result of tallying up other measurements taken during the period when the user is away from home, such as the distance traveled by the user during the period when the user is away from home, the number of steps taken, etc.

In addition, the analysis result of the user's activity status is not limited to the result of tallying up the measured values during the outing period. The analysis result of the user's activity status may include the number of consecutive days up to the present time that the measured values included in the health care data have achieved a predetermined target (hereinafter referred to as "consecutive days of achievement"). Here, it is assumed that the health care data includes the number of steps, and the target number of steps per day is preset to 5000 steps. For example, if the date and time when it is determined that the user has returned to the monitoring area 50 is 17:00 on April 15, 20XX, and the number of steps of the user on each day from April 2 to April 14, 20XX is 5000 steps or more, while the number of steps of the user on April 1, 20XX is less than 5000 steps, the number of consecutive days of achievement of the step target is 13 days, which is the number of days from April 2 to April 14, 20XX. If the number of consecutive days of achievement of the step target is 13 days, the notification screen 820 may include a message saying "The number of consecutive days of achievement of the step target is the 13th day."

The analysis results of the user's activity status may also include the total number of days during the analysis period when the measurements included in the health care data achieved a predetermined goal (hereinafter referred to as "total number of days achieved"). Here, it is assumed that the health care data includes the number of steps, and the daily step goal is preset to 5,000 steps. For example, if the days on which the number of steps in a day was 5,000 steps or more during the analysis period from April 7 to April 15, 20XX, are April 7, 10, and 15, 20XX, then the total number of days for which the step goal was achieved will be three days, which is the sum of these days. If the total number of days for which the step goal was achieved is three days, the notification screen 820 may include a message stating "The total number of days for which the step goal was achieved is three days."

Furthermore, the analysis result of the user's activity status may include an evaluation result according to the health care data measured during the period when the user was away from home. In this modification, the second analysis means 615 performs the evaluation by determining an evaluation level of the user's activity status during the period when the user was away from home using the health care data stored in the memory unit 602. At this time, the higher the number of consecutive days achieved or the total number of days achieved, the higher the evaluation level that is determined. The notification screen 820 may include an evaluation level according to the number of consecutive days achieved or the total number of days achieved.

Furthermore, the analysis results of the user's activity status may include the results of an analysis of changes in the user's health condition from healthcare data during the analysis period (health trend information of the user). For example, during the analysis period from March 19 to April 15, 20XX, the health condition analyzed from healthcare data measured in March may be compared with the health condition analyzed from healthcare data measured in April, and the comparison results may be displayed on the notification screen 820. If the number of steps or distance traveled was greater in April than in March, the notification screen 820 may include a message such as "You are walking more than you did in March," or if the health condition remains the same between March and April, "You are still as healthy as last month."

Furthermore, the analysis results notified to the user may be something other than the activity status. For example, analysis results such as the highest heart rate measured while the user was out, the average heart rate when the user was walking or exercising, and the average heart rate at rest may be notified. In other words, the user's activity status and bio-information (vital information) may be analyzed from the health care data, and either or both of the analysis results may be notified. In summary, the second analysis means 615 performs an analysis related to the user's health. This health analysis includes an analysis of the user's activity status and an analysis of the user's bio-information.

Variation 8
In the above-described embodiment, a reward may be given to the user depending on the usage of the alert service. For example, when the usage of the alert service reaches or exceeds a threshold, a reward is given to the user. Examples of the reward include a special icon badge, a special wallpaper, points that the user can use, and a physical gift. Similarly, in the above-described modified example, a reward may be given to the user depending on the level of the number of consecutive days of usage, the level of the total number of days of usage, or the evaluation level of the user's activity status.

Variation 9
In the above-described embodiment, the timing at which the analysis result is notified is not limited to when the user returns to the building. For example, the notification may be made when a predetermined time, such as 10 minutes, has elapsed since it was determined that the user has returned to the building. Furthermore, when it is determined that the user has returned to the building, a "return to building" button may be displayed on the display unit 505 of the wearable terminal 500, and when the user presses this "return to building" button, the analysis result may be notified. This "return to building" button may be displayed when it is determined that the user has returned to the building, or may be displayed when a predetermined time, such as 10 minutes, has elapsed since it was determined that the user has returned to the building.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, even if the user returns to the building, if certain conditions are met, the analysis results may not be notified. For example, if the length of the absence period is less than a certain time, such as 10 minutes, and the unmanned alert mode is used during the absence period, it is considered that the return is temporary, for example to return to retrieve something left behind, and so no notification may be sent. However, even if the length of the absence period is less than a certain time, if the cancellation mode is used during the absence period, a notification may be sent to encourage the use of alert mode even for short outings such as taking out the trash or shopping at a nearby convenience store.

Modification 10
In the above-described embodiment, the subject that notifies the user of the analysis result is not limited to the wearable terminal 500. The user terminal 600, the setting unit 300, the controller 200, or at least two of the wearable terminal 500 and these devices may notify the user of the analysis result.

When the subject that notifies the analysis results is the user terminal 600, for example, a notification screen 820 shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display unit 605 of the user terminal 600. Alternatively, a chat screen that chronologically displays messages related to the security mode described in JP2018-137673A may be displayed on the display unit 605, and messages indicating the analysis results may be displayed on this chat screen in chronological order. For example, if the mode is changed to the deactivation mode at 5:00 p.m. on April 15, 20XX, the message "Changed to deactivation mode" may be displayed at a position on the chat screen corresponding to this date and time, followed by the message included in the notification screen 820 shown in FIG. 7.

When the subject that notifies the analysis results is the controller 200, a notification instruction is sent from the user terminal 600 to the controller 200 via the server device 400. In response to this notification instruction, for example, a notification screen 820 shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display unit 205 of the controller 200.

When the subject that notifies the analysis results is the setting unit 300, a notification instruction is sent from the user terminal 600 to the setting unit 300 via the server device 400 and the controller 200. In response to this notification instruction, for example, a notification screen 820 shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display unit of the setting unit 300.

The method of notifying the analysis results is not limited to displaying an image. For example, the analysis results may be notified by outputting a sound. In this modified example, the wearable terminal 500, the user terminal 600, the setting unit 300, or the controller 200, which is the entity that notifies the analysis results, is provided with a means for outputting sound, such as a speaker, and outputs a sound indicating the analysis results.
