The mobile terminal 10 is a terminal of a mobile communication system and has a built-in position detecting means 11 for obtaining position information. As the terminal position detecting means 11, there is a means for acquiring position information by a mobile communication system. In addition, the receiving device built in the mobile terminal 10 receives a signal from the outside, and thereby obtains position information by detecting position information, and the position information obtained by the displacement information of the acceleration sensor built in the mobile terminal 10. You may use the position information acquisition means which acquires information. Alternatively, optimal position information may be obtained by combining these methods. Here, the external signal is, for example, a GPS satellite navigation radio signal.

The portable terminal 10 sends the detected position information to the position registration information server 42 via the mobile communication network 41 by wireless communication 45. The position registration server 42 registers and manages this position information, and notifies the registered position information via a network in response to a request from the main control device 20.

The sensor 30 detects and monitors the state of the equipment in the management area. Specifically, the sensor 30 detects and monitors states such as whether or not the doors 31 and windows in the management area are locked, and whether or not the electric lights 32 and other devices are used (power is on). The sensor 30 outputs the detection result to the main controller 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, the main controller 20 includes a position judging unit 21, a storage unit 22, a device state confirmation judging unit 23, and a warning notifying unit 24. The position judging means 21 is connected to the network 44, the device state confirmation judging means 23 is connected to the sensor 30, and the warning notifying means 24 is connected to the telephone line 43. Interface). The connection to the network 44 may be via the telephone line 43.

The position judging means 21 has a function of judging whether the manager is in the management area 50 or is out of the management area 50 based on the position information of the portable terminal 10 carried by the manager. That is, the position determination unit 21 periodically checks the position of the administrator to check the position of the mobile terminal 1 held by the administrator.
A query is made to the location registration information server 42 via the network 44 for location information of 0. Then, the obtained current location information of the mobile terminal 10 is compared with the area information of the management area registered in the storage unit 22 in advance, and it is determined whether the current location of the manager is inside the management area or outside the management area. Determine.
This determination result is stored in the storage unit 22. The storage unit 22 stores the histories of the past several times.

For example, as position information of mobile communication, P
When using the HS location information, the determination is made based on whether or not the identification number ID of the base station registered in the location of the mobile terminal 10 matches the identification number ID group of the base station set in the management area.

The storage means 22 stores, in addition to the above-mentioned area information on the management area and the position determination histories of the past several times, information on the determination of the equipment status, the telephone number of the destination of the warning call, the warning message, and the like. .

The device state confirmation determining means 23 includes a sensor 30
Is compared with the device state determination information stored in the storage unit 22 to determine whether a warning is necessary for the state of each device 31. Then, the result is notified to the warning notifying unit 24.

The warning notification means 24 includes a notification determination means 25
, A message selecting means 26, a message reproducing / combining means 27, and a modem 29. The position determination result and the device state determination result are input to the notification determination unit 25, and the notification determination unit 25 determines whether a warning notification is necessary based on the result. That is, it is determined from the position determination result that the manager is out of the management area, and the necessity of a warning is determined from the device state determination result.

The message selection means 26 selects an optimum message from the warning messages stored in the storage means 22 according to the state of the device. The warning message is
For example, it may be character data or audio data. Therefore, the warning message is also accompanied by form information on what form to output and transmission information on which transmission means and where to send it. The message selecting means 26 sends the form information to the message reproducing / synthesizing means 27, and sends the form of transmission to the transmitting means. In FIG. 3, the message form is voice, and the transmission form is a telephone line.

The modem 29 makes a call using the destination telephone number notified from the message selecting means, and transmits the voice data created by the message reproducing / synthesizing means 27 via the telephone line. This transmission data is stored in the telephone line 4
4 to the mobile terminal 10 via the mobile communication network 41 to issue a warning.

Next, a specific operation of the security enhancement system will be described. It is assumed that the administrator has carried the mobile terminal 10 and went out of the management area. Mobile terminal 10
Sends the location information to the location registration information server 42 via the mobile communication network 41 at regular intervals, and the location registration information server 42 registers the location information. On the other hand, main controller 2
0, the position registration information server 42 is accessed at regular time intervals to fetch the position information, the position determination means 21 determines whether or not the position is within the management area, notifies the warning notification means 24, and notifies the determination result. Is stored as a history in the storage means.

In this case, the notification determining means 25 of the warning notifying means 24 reads the past determination result from the storage means 22 and compares it with the current determination result to determine that the portable terminal 10 has gone out of the management area. to decide. Therefore, the notification determination means 2
5 causes the device state confirmation determination means 23 to cause the sensor 30 to check the state of each device and determine whether or not a warning state exists. More specifically, if the door 31 or the window is not locked, or if the electric lamp 31 is not turned off, the notification determination unit 25 stores the message selection unit 26 in the storage unit 22. To select a message. This message is created as voice data by the message reproducing / synthesizing means 27, and is temporarily recorded in a storage device.
Alternatively, a voice is directly emitted by synthesis.

In this embodiment, a call is made via the modem 29 to the telephone number of the set alarm destination. here,
The mobile terminal 10 is a mobile phone, and the telephone number of the warning destination is the mobile terminal 10 itself. When a line is connected to the portable terminal 10 which is a warning destination via the telephone line 43, the mobile communication network 41, and the wireless communication 45 by calling, a predetermined warning message selected according to the state of the sensor 20 is recorded or recorded. The voice is transmitted by synthesis. If this time,
If there is no response from the other party (portable terminal 10), the line is temporarily disconnected, and retransmission is performed after a predetermined time. The retransmission is repeated until a response is received from the other party. When a plurality of warning destinations are registered, notification may be made to the registration destination having the highest priority, and if there is no response, notification may be made to the registration destination having the next priority.

Next, it is assumed that the manager is out of the management area. Notification determination means 2 of warning notification means 24
5 is notified that the mobile terminal 10 is out of the management area 50, the notification determination unit 25 causes the device status confirmation determination unit to cause the sensor 30 to check the status of each device at regular intervals. , It is determined whether or not a warning state has been entered.
For example, the door 21 or the window is opened when the manager is away,
It is assumed that when the power of the device is turned on or the like, the state changes to a warning state. At this time, as described above, main controller 20 transmits a warning message.

In this way, when the administrator who carries the portable terminal 10 goes out of the management area 50 and the status of each device is an abnormal state requiring a warning (not an expected state), a warning message is issued. Since it is transmitted to the mobile terminal 10,
The administrator can immediately know the state. Since the abnormal state can be dealt with, security can be enhanced. Further, by using a portable telephone having a location information function as a portable terminal of the administrator, it is possible to construct the portable terminal relatively inexpensively without preparing a special key or a large-scale system.

As a method for determining the position of the portable terminal 10 inside and outside the control area, a method in which the portable terminal 10 itself has information on the control area 50 and has a terminal position detecting means can be considered. From the result, when detecting that the mobile terminal 10 has moved from outside the management area to inside the management area,
Alternatively, when it is detected that the user has moved from the inside of the management area to the outside of the management area, the main control device 20 is notified of the fact. In this case, there is no need for the main control device to have the position determining means. Further, the position information detected by the mobile terminal 10 may be directly notified to the main control device 20 without passing through the position registration server 42.

When there are a plurality of managers and a plurality of mobile terminals 10 are registered, when all the mobile terminals 10 are out of the management area, the manager is regarded as absent and a warning message is issued. You may.

In place of a voice message, a message selected according to the state of the sensor 30 is transmitted to a telephone having a pager or a text message function by a DTM.
The notification may be made using the F tone. In addition, telephone line 43
Instead of notifying the warning message by using, a mail server on the network 44 or a message service server may be accessed to notify the registered destination of the warning message by using an email or a message.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing another embodiment of the security enhancement system according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the portable terminal 10 has a function of transmitting a unique identification number ID for each terminal, and the identification symbol ID
Is transmitted wirelessly. This security enhancement system is different from the above-described embodiment in that an ID receiving device 60 serving as a position detecting means is connected to a main control device 20 and reception of an ID which is an identification symbol wirelessly transmitted from the portable terminal 10 is performed by an antenna. 61 to detect the position. Therefore, the location registration information server 4 of the above embodiment
2 is not required.

Next, a specific description will be given. Mobile terminal 10
Transmits the ID by radio at regular intervals. ID
The receiving device 60 receives this ID from the antenna 61. When the mobile terminal 10 is near the receiving device 60, that is, in the management area, the receiving device 60 can receive the ID at regular intervals. On the other hand, the mobile terminal 10
When the user moves away from the management area, the radio wave that can be received by the receiving device 60 is weakened. At this time, the position determination means 21 of the main control device 20
It is determined that the mobile terminal 10 has left the management area. Subsequent processing of each unit is the same as in the above-described embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

When the portable terminal 10 is a PHS terminal, I
Even if the D receiving device 60 is configured by a base unit or an antenna facility for radio wave relay for personal use, and a system is constructed using the registration ID for the base unit and the registration ID for the antenna as the ID for each mobile terminal 10, Good. The mobile terminal 10 depends on the reception status (whether or not reception is possible) of the master unit and the antenna equipment in the management area.
Can be determined whether or not is within the management area.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing still another embodiment of the security enhancement system according to the present invention.
Is a block diagram of the main control device. This security enhancement system has substantially the same configuration as that of FIG. The difference is that the main controller can directly control the equipment without issuing a warning. The main control device 70 is configured as shown in FIG.
This is a configuration in which the device control means 71 is added to the configuration of the above. When the position determining means 21 determines that the portable terminal 10 is outside the management area, the device control means 71 locks the door or turns off the power.
F is controlled. In this case, as described above,
The warning is issued to the mobile terminal 10, but if the control for locking the door or turning off the power is performed normally, the warning stops. Therefore, the administrator can confirm that the main control device 70 operates normally and controls the device.

Further, when the mobile terminal 10 moves into the management area, control such as unlocking of the door and turning on of the power may be performed. This eliminates the need to unlock the door and turn on the power when the manager returns.
