[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an operation notification device, and in particular sends an operation signal from a detector provided on a child device located far away to a central parent device. The present invention relates to an operation notification device for confirming the operation and notifying the operation using an information processing device installed in the machine.

[Conventional technology]

For example, in large buildings, temperature detectors, smoke detectors, door opening/closing detectors, passage detectors, etc. are installed in each room, hallway, stairway entrance, etc. in case of abnormal situations such as theft or fire at night. A slave unit equipped with a transmitter, etc. that transmits the operation signal of the detector and its detector to the central monitoring side is placed, while a master unit is placed on the central monitoring side, and the operation signal from the slave unit is transmitted wirelessly or by wire. The system receives the signal, determines from which handset the signal was sent, and notifies staff of the location where the abnormal situation has occurred.

In addition, a master unit is installed at the fire station, and a slave unit consisting of a detector that detects the occurrence of a fire and a transmitter that receives the operating signal is installed at each house.When the slave unit is activated, the master unit is activated. The system identifies the location and alerts police personnel to the location of the fire.

Furthermore, in each home, slave units consisting of designated detectors, transmitters, etc. are placed at entrances, windows, bathrooms, etc., while base units are placed in places where people are always present. The base unit receives the signal from the machine, identifies which slave unit the signal came from, and reports it, allowing you to immediately know where and what is happening.

When the detector installed on each slave unit operates in this way, the operation signal is sent to the base unit, where the signal is processed by an information processing device such as a microcomputer installed in the base unit. Conventionally, an oscillator was provided for each slave unit in order to determine which slave unit the message was sent from and to notify the slave unit that the detector was activated, and the output was used to send signals to speakers and displays. The operation of the handset was notified by activating operation notification means such as lights.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In this way, in conventional devices, in order to operate the operation alarm, an oscillator corresponding to each child device was installed in the parent device, which had the disadvantage of making the structure of the parent device complicated and expensive, and making the device large. It was hot.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, an example in which the operation notification device of the present invention is applied to a case where the operation status of four slave devices is identified and the operation notification is performed will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8.

In Figure 1, S ₁ to _{S 4} are slave units, and each slave unit is
A state detector 1 that detects a predetermined state change such as a temperature detector, smoke detector, door opening/closing detector, passage detector, etc.
When the status detector 1 operates, a pulse generator 2 generates a pulse signal _fs with a frequency specific to the child device, a carrier wave _fc generator 3 for transmitting the pulse signal to the parent device _S0 , and a transmitter. 4 and a transmitting antenna 5.

On the other hand, the base device is composed of a receiving antenna 6, a receiver 7, and a signal processing device 8 consisting of a handset identification number setting section 9, a reference time signal generation section 10, an information processing section 11 such as a microcomputer, and an operation notification section 12. has been done.

The receiver 7 further includes an amplification unit 71 that amplifies the received signal f _c +f _s , a detection unit 72 that separates and extracts a pulse signal f _s specific to the slave device from the amplified signal, and further converts the signal into a waveform. Shaped and pulse signal f _s specific to the slave unit
It consists of a waveform shaping section 73 that restores the waveform.

Furthermore, a more specific configuration of each part within the signal processing device 8 is as shown in FIG.

That is, 9 is a handset identification number setting section, and a series circuit of a diode D and a switch SW is connected to each matrix intersection as shown in FIG. 2b. To set the identification number in the handset identification number setting section 9, the identification number is set in binary coded decimal notation by, for example, using two horizontal lines and turning on switches at predetermined positions in the second and first digits. For example, slave units S ₁ , S ₂ . . . receive the reference time signal a
Approximately 50 pulses within the reference time T in the "1" state of
Each pulse signal f _s1 , with a frequency of the proportion of 70 pulses...
When f _s2 ... is generated, the setting section 9
Set 〓 ₁ = 50, 〓 ₂ = 70... in each row direction setting device in a binary coded 10 system of 4 bits (the 〓 mark in the figure indicates the identification number, that is, the setting when the switch SW is turned on. (shown with the value set).

In this case, it goes without saying that the setting value can be set using three digits, or even four digits, depending on the size of the setting numerical value.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a reference time signal generator, which generates a signal a that continues to output "1" for a reference time T in a constant time period _T0 .
occurs.

For example, the microcomputer 11 as an information processing device includes a central processing unit (CPU) 13, a random access memory (RAM) 14 as an information storage means, a read only memory (ROM) 15 as a program storage means, and a clock pulse generator 16 as means for generating these operating clock pulses.

Each instruction is read-only memory (ROM)
By inputting and outputting information from the central processing unit (CPU) 13 to each input/output device and the random access memory (RAM) 14 using the clock _Cp from the clock pulse generator 16 based on the program built in the clock pulse generator 15. executed.

17 is a decoder and central processing unit (CPU) 13
Based on the signal of the audible frequency from A predetermined display among the displays 19-1 to 19-4 that displays the operating state of the controller is driven.

The operation of the device configured in this way is further explained in the third section.
This will be explained using the flowchart shown in FIGS. 6A to 6A, the waveform diagram shown in FIG. 6B, and the diagram showing the memory contents in the random access memory shown in FIG.

The memory in the random access memory (RAM) 14 has a binary coded decimal structure of 4 bits per word. In the following description, random access memory is referred to as RAM, read-only memory as ROM, central processing unit as CPU, accumulator in CPU as Acc, and memory locations such as address 0 and A in RAM. is expressed as M0, MA, etc., and its contents are written in brackets [Acc], [M0], [MA].
etc.

Before explaining the details of the operation, the outline will first be explained.

According to the program shown in Figure 3, first set the identification number setting value of each handset set in the handset identification number setting section 9.
Store it in a predetermined memory location in the RAM 14, and then calculate the number of pulses from the slave unit captured within the reference time T.
Store in RAM14. This result corresponds to storing the pulse frequency being sent from the slave device to the master device in the RAM 14.

The pulse frequency stored in the RAM 14 is then subjected to approximation processing, for example, rounding off, according to the program shown in FIG. The reason for performing this approximation processing is to remove the effects of fluctuations in the oscillation frequency of the oscillation side provided on the slave unit or noise pulses during transmission, and to ensure that the operation of the slave unit can be confirmed within the base unit. It is. That is, this is to absorb some variation in the input pulse frequency and compare it with the slave device identification number setting value.

If such a comparison is repeated, for example, four times for pulses input at different times, and the result matches the predetermined number of handset identifications set in the setting section 9, the program shown in FIG. After determining which handset should be notified of the operation, the program shown in FIG. 6a executes the operation notification corresponding to a predetermined handset, for example, _S1 .

The details will be explained below.

When the status detector ₁ provided in the slave unit S ₁ in FIG.
Pulse signal f _s1 generated at a rate of 50 pulses within
is generated, and the transport generator 3 operates. In the transmitter 4, a signal obtained by modulating the pulse signal f _s1 with a carrier wave f _c is transmitted from the antenna 5 toward the base unit S ₀ .

The base unit S ₀ receives the radio waves transmitted from the slave unit S ₁ using the antenna 6, and the receiver 7 performs processing such as amplification, detection, and waveform shaping to generate pulses generated by the slave unit S ₁ . Restore the signal f _s1 and take it out.

Next, this pulse signal f _s1 is input to the signal processing device 8 provided in the base unit S ₀ .

As shown in FIG. 2, the pulse signal _fs1 input to the signal processing device 8 is sent to the central processing unit ₁₃ together with the reference time signal a generated at a constant period _T0 from the reference time signal generator 10 via the diode D1. , and the reference time signal a is in the "1" state.
The number of pulses extracted during the time is determined by the central processing unit 13 based on the program instruction from the ROM 15.
It is stored in a predetermined location in the RAM 14.

In other words, first, when you manually turn on the power of the main unit S ₀ ,
The program instructions shown in FIG. 3 contained in the ROM 15 are sequentially executed in synchronization with the clock from the clock pulse generator 16. Based on the instruction, all memory contents of the RAM 14 are reset in step 20. Next, in step 21, the handset identification number setting unit 9 sets the setting values 〓 ₁ to 〓 ₄ , for example 50; (digit); 2nd address and 3rd address; ... are sequentially stored in storage locations M0 and M1; M2 and M3...

Reference numeral 22 denotes a program connector which has no meaning as a program command, but is a signal provided for coupling with a program to be described later.

Next, in step 23, the reference time signal generator 10
It is determined whether the reference time signal a from the reference time signal a is in the "1" output state.

If the reference time signal a is in the "1" output state, it is determined in the next step 24 whether or not there is a pulse signal sent from the slave unit. If not, return to step 23 and repeat the same program steps. At this time, the pulse signal f _s1 from slave unit S ₁
is taken out into the main unit, its pulse 1
The slave unit S ₁ pulse storage location MA consists of address A (1st digit) and address B (2nd digit) of RAM 14,
Store in MB. After reading one input pulse signal, the program returns to the program connector 22, executes program steps 23 to 25 again, and reads the next input pulse. This operation continues while the reference time signal a is in the "1" state. As a result, A and B address memory locations
The number of pulses input while the reference time signal a is in the "1" state is stored in MA and MB in binary coded decimal notation. For example, if the number of input pulses at this time is 53 pulses, the memory location MA at address A will contain "0011" from the upper bit to the lower bit, and the memory location at address B will contain "0011" from the upper bit to the lower bit.
Similarly, "0101" is stored in the MB from the upper bit to the lower bit.

When the reference time signal a becomes "0", step 23
The judgment result in step 2 is NO, and the process branches to step 26.

Step 26 is the address C memory location MC of RAM14.
Determine whether there is a count flag.

This count flag is set and reset in the program steps described below.

If there is no count flag in the C address memory location MC, the process moves to the program connector 27.

In program step 29 of FIG. 4, the first digit value [MA] stored at address A among the pulses emitted from the handset and taken out within the reference time T is read out to Acc.

It is determined in step 30 whether this content is smaller than 4.

If the judgment result is YES in step 30, step
At 32, set [Acc] to 0 and store this in MA.

If the judgment result is NO, in step 31, [Acc] is set to 0 and stored in MA, and 1 is added to [MB], and the value is newly stored in MB.

As a result, the number of input pulses from the slave unit stored in MA and MB is rounded off and the values are newly input into MA and MB. That is, approximation processing is performed.

Next, in step 33, enter the second digit value [M1] of the setting value corresponding to slave unit _S1 set in the parent unit.
Read to Acc. This value [Acc] is 2 times the number of approximated input pulses stored in MA and MB.
Subtract from the digit value [MB] and put the difference in Acc.

In step 34, it is determined whether [Acc] is 0 or not. That is, it is determined whether the second digit of the setting value corresponding to slave unit S ₁ matches the second digit of the input pulse number approximate value, and if YES, the process advances to step 35, or NO.
If so, proceed to step 39.

In step 35, the memory contents at address 10 [M10] are set to 1.
is added and stored in M10, and taken out to Acc, and in step 36 it is determined whether the value has become 4 or not. That is, the match determination at step 34 is performed four times, and it is determined whether or not there is a match all four times. If the result is YES, in step 37 the D address memory location MD is
1 is set to indicate the operation of the slave unit _S1 , 1 is set to the C address memory location MC, a count flag is set to indicate that there has been a match four times, and the process moves to the program connector 28. On the other hand, in the case of NO, the process directly moves to the program engaging element 28.

By the way, if the judgment result in step 34 is NO, the process moves to step 39, this time the memory contents of M3 [M3] are read into Acc, the difference between it and [MB] is stored in Acc, and in step 40, [Acc] is Determine whether it is 0 or not. That is, this time it is determined whether the setting value corresponding to slave device _S2 and the input pulse number approximate value match.

If the result of the determination is YES, then in step 41 the number of matches is stored in the storage location 11 and at the same time taken out to Acc, and in step 42 it is determined whether the value has reached 4 or not. That is, the match determination in step 39 is performed four times, and it is determined whether or not there is a match all four times. If the result is YES, the step
At step 43, set 2 in the D address memory location MD to display the operation of slave unit S ₂ , set 1 in MC, set a count flag indicating that there has been a match four times, and move on to program connector 28. do. on the other hand
In the case of NO, the process directly moves to the program connector 28.

However, if it is determined NO in step 40, a program similar to the above program that identifies a series of slave units is executed to determine the approximate value of the input pulse number to be the set number corresponding to slave units S ₃ and S ₄ . Determine whether 〓 ₃ , 〓 ₄ match or not, and if they match, set 12
Add 1 to the memory contents of addresses 13 and 13 [M12] and [M13], and when the number reaches 4, each slave unit S ₃ and S ₄
The codes 3 and 4 representing 0 are set in the D address memory location MD, and the count flag MC is set to 1, and the program is transferred to the program connector 28. Furthermore, if the input pulse signal is not determined to have been emitted from the slave units S ₃ and S ₄ , the program connector 22
Return to

As described above, the information processing device executes a program in synchronization with a predetermined clock and approximates the number of pulses taken into the central processing unit 13 within each reference time T. If it matches one of the identification number setting values four times, the operation of the identified slave device is notified based on the identification result. The program for this purpose is the program shown in FIGS. 5 and 6a, and in FIG. 5, it is a program for selecting the type of notification operation to be performed in response to the identified event. Further, FIG. 6a shows an example of the notification operation program selected in FIG. 5.

For example, the pulse input to the master unit is from slave unit _S2 , and as a result of executing the program shown in Figure 4,
Connector 28 from step 40 through steps 41 to 43
If the program proceeds to step , 2 is stored in MD, so when the program moves to the program shown in FIG. Execute the notification operation program shown below.

That is, when moving to the program shown in FIG. 6a, first, in step 52, it is determined whether or not there is a 1 in the third bit of memory location M22 at address 22 of the memory RAM 14.

That is, the RAM 14 as an information storage means
Using memory locations M20 to M23, synchronize the memorized count in binary notation to the number of times a sound pulse (as will become clear from the description below) has occurred for slave unit _S2 , that is, the number of times the operation alarm is turned on and off, to a predetermined clock. and do it. Step 52 is a process of counting the number of times this sounding pulse is generated, and according to the counting result, the sounding operation, that is, the operation to stop the on/off of the operation indicator at the number of times that the sounding pulse has been generated, the third bit of M22 becomes 1. This judgment step is a means for generating an intermittent sound by executing in synchronization with a predetermined clock.

Since [M20] to [M23] are all empty at first, the judgment result in step 52 is NO and step 53 is executed.
to move to. In step 53, a pronunciation mark is placed on the 4th bit of MD. Therefore, [MD] is taken out to Acc, and in step 55, it is output from Acc to the operation indicator 12 outside the CPU. The drive notification section 12 turns on the indicator light 19-2 for indicating the operation of the slave device _S2 via the decoder 17, and also turns on the drive voltage of the speaker 18.

Next, in step 56, [M20] is extracted from Acc, 1 is added to this value, and it is determined in step 57 whether or not the result, that is, the number of generation of sound generation pulses has reached 10. If the number has not reached 10, the value, ie, the number of times the sounding pulse has been generated, is stored in M20 in step 58, and the sounding pulse is stopped in step 59. Thereafter, the process returns to step 52 and repeats the same operation. Each step actually consists of a plurality of further steps which are executed sequentially in synchronization with a predetermined clock, for example 50 KHz, derived from the clock pulse generator 16. The driving voltage for the speaker 18 is turned on during the step period from step 55 to step 59, and is turned off during the step period from step 59 to step 55.

As a result, for example, if the program is constructed with 14 steps intervening in each step section and 28 steps per cycle, a sounding pulse with an audible frequency of 50/28≈1.8 KHz can be obtained.

When the number of generation pulses reaches 10 while repeating steps 52 to 59, step 57
The judgment result in step 60 is NO, and the process moves to step 60.

In step 60, set [Acc] to 0 and set it to
By storing in M20, the memory contents of M20 are zeroed out.
pay to Next, in step 61, the contents [M21] are taken out from the memory M21 for storing the number of generation of sound pulses in the second digit and 1 is added to Acc. At step 62, the sound pulse is turned off, and at step 63
Determine whether [Acc] has reached 10 or not. That is, in step 63, it is determined whether or not the number of generation pulses has reached 100, and if it has not reached 100, the process returns to step 52 and cycles through steps 52 to 59.
The program branches from step 57 to step 60 every 10th time the sounding pulse is generated, and returns to step 52 via steps 61 to 63, which is repeated.

At this time, the actual number of steps from step 55 to step 62 and the number of steps from step 62 again.
The actual number of steps leading to 55, for example 14 steps,
One cycle consists of 28 steps.

When the number of generation pulses reaches 100, the process moves from step 63 to step 64, where M21 is set to 0. At step 65, the content of M22 in the third digit [M22] is taken out to Acc, and this is set to Acc. 1 is added and in step 66 it is determined whether the value has reached 10 or not.

That is, in step 66, the number of generation pulses is 1000.
It is judged whether or not the number of times has been reached. If it has not been reached, the judgment result is YES and [Acc] is set in step 67.
After storing it in M22, the process moves to step 68.

In step 68, the base unit checks whether there is an input pulse from another slave unit, and if so, checks whether that slave unit has a higher priority than the slave unit _S2 which is currently notifying the operation. If the priority is high, the MC count flag is reset and the program step shown in FIG. 3 is executed via the program connector 22 for processing newly input signals from other slave units. Return to 23. However, at that point, if there is no input from another handset, or even if there is input, the priority is lower than that of the handset that is currently notifying the operation, return to step 23 in Figure 3. Since the count flag is also set, the program immediately moves from step 26 to the program of FIG. 5 via connector 28, and returns to step 52 of FIG. 6a via step 46 and connector 47. After returning to step 52, the above program is executed again.

Such a program operation is repeated every 100th time that a sound generation pulse is generated, and when it eventually reaches 400, [M22] becomes "0100" from the upper bit to the lower bit, and 1 is stored in the third bit.
This is determined in step 52 and the result is
Move to 73.

In step 73, the 4th bit sound generation mark 1 stored in the MD is set to 0, thereby turning off the driving power for the speaker 18. As a result, the step
54, the speaker 55 starts generating sound pulses, but since the driving power for the speaker 18 is turned off, no notification sound is generated from the speaker. In this way, the program for generating the sound pulses described above is executed while the notification sound is not being generated from the speaker 18, and eventually the number of times the sound pulses are generated increases.
When it reaches 800, the stored value of the 3rd bit of M23 becomes 0. As a result, the judgment result at step 52 is
When the result is NO, the program moves from step 52 to step 53, where the sound generation mark 1 is again set at the 4th bit of MD and the sound generation operation is started.

Repeat this operation until the number of generation pulses reaches 1000, and step 66 is reached.
The judgment result in step 69 is NO, and the process moves to step 69.

In step 69, set the memory content [M22] in M22 to 0, and in step 70, take out the content of memory address 23 [M23], which stores the number of generation of sound pulses in the 4th digit, in Acc, and add 1 to it to obtain the result. Determine whether or not the number has reached 10. As a result of the judgment, if the number of generation pulses has not reached 10,000, proceed to step 72.
After [Acc] is stored in M23, the process moves to step 68, where the input signals from the other handsets described above are processed, and after passing through the programs shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the process returns to step 52.

After returning to step 52, the program operation described above is repeatedly executed to operate the speaker 18,
When the number of generation pulses reaches 1400, [M22] changes from the upper bit to the lower bit again as "0100".
Then, 1 is stored in the third bit. Since the 1 in the third bit of M22 continues until the number of generation pulses reaches 1799, the sound generation operation of the speaker 18 is interrupted during this time, and when the number of generation pulses reaches 1800, the generation operation is restarted.

In this way, in step 52, by providing a means for determining whether or not there is a 1 in the third bit of M22 in synchronization with a predetermined clock, the operation of turning the speaker 18 on and off at an audible frequency can be performed at a predetermined clock. A sound pulse is generated by determining the start/stop timing of the sound generation operation by selecting the first means that is executed in synchronization with the clock and the second means that executes the operation of stopping the on/off operation in synchronization with a predetermined clock. Activates at circuit 0~399, stops at 400~799, 800~
It operates at 1399, stops at 1400 to 1799, etc., and repeats activation and stopping, and as shown in Fig. 6b, the speaker 18 is intermittently activated directly by the output of the information processing device to generate an intermittent notification sound. .

When the number of generation of sound pulses reaches 10,000, the generation of the specified number of sound pulses has been completed, and the step is started.
Move from step 71 to step 74 and clear the MD memory contents to 0.
After resetting the count flag [MC], [M10] to [M13], [M23], etc. in step 75, return to the program shown in Figure 3.
Prepare for the next operation notification.

In this way, the operation notification to slave unit _S1 is as shown in Figure 6a.
A predetermined notification sound can be generated by directly driving a speaker based on a program as shown in FIG.
Furthermore, if a similar program is created for the other slave units S ₂ , S ₃ , and S ₄ , but the time point at which the number of generation of sound pulses is determined in step 52 is made different, that is, in the above embodiment, Of the four memory locations, M22-3 is where the 3rd digit number of sound pulses is stored.
The operation notification means is configured to start or stop the operation by determining whether or not the 1st bit has been stored. Judging,
By activating the speaker, it is possible to generate notification sounds with different intermittent cycles in accordance with the operation notification of each slave unit.

In the above embodiment, the memory locations designated by four addresses were used to store the number of times the sound pulses were generated, but by selecting any number and changing the program slightly, it is possible to store the sound pulses in any number. can be configured to occur.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a case has been described in which the speaker 18 is driven intermittently by executing the program shown in FIG. In addition to driving the speaker, in addition to the display lamp, the display lamp provided corresponding to each slave device may be made to blink at an intermittent cycle unique to that slave device.

In addition, in the above embodiment, in order to identify the operation of the slave unit by the base unit, the slave unit generates a pulse with a frequency unique to the slave unit, which is received by the base unit, and if the pulse is taken out within the reference time. Although the number of pulses is processed by the program shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 to identify the operating slave device, this is just an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the frequency unique to the slave unit sent from the slave unit is identified by a filter, or the slave unit sends a coded pulse unique to the slave unit, and the base unit identifies the slave unit that corresponds to that code. , the handset identification means can be arbitrarily designed.

Moreover, each of the programs described above is merely an example, and it goes without saying that the programs can be arbitrarily modified without departing from the scope of the claims.
