Can be transmitted to specific parties. Further, the position of a moving object can be easily measured by GPS using a GPS satellite in the United States.

[0004] The above-mentioned security system is for making an emergency report of the user's location from an information processing center to an emergency contact such as a police station or a hospital when an accident occurs to the user. For example, as shown in FIG. ,
Using the information communication system and GPS, generally, the information processing center B described above and a GP
It comprises a security terminal A that receives satellite radio waves from the S-satellite C and provides the user with location-related information to an information processing center B via an information communication network D such as the Internet or a telephone network.

Therefore, there is a problem that accurate positioning data cannot be transmitted to the information processing center B.
As a result, the information processing center B may not be able to communicate the exact location of the user to the emergency contact, delay the handling of the emergency contact to the user, and in the worst case, cause loss of life. There is also.

After activation, the control processing unit 1
Control is performed so that the satellite signal is received at 0. This allows
The GPS receiver 10 receives satellite radio waves from each GPS satellite C and outputs a reception signal, and the reception signal is stored in the memory 12 as reception data.

The control processing section 1 reads the received data from the memory 12, collects information on each GPS satellite C from the received data, and sets the ratio of the received signal strength to the noise of each GPS satellite C to the noise. / N value is calculated, and the calculated C / N value is stored in the memory 12.

The C / N reference value is stored in the memory 12 in advance, and the control processing unit 1 reads out the C / N value and the C / N reference value of each satellite wave from the memory 12 and stores them. Compare. The C / N reference value is set to be equal to or higher than the C / N value required for positioning, and as a result of comparing the C / N value with the C / N reference value, the C / N value is larger than the C / N reference value. The control processing unit 1 determines that positioning is possible using the satellite radio wave received by the GPS receiving unit 10, and conversely, C
If the / N value is equal to or less than the C / N reference value, the control processing unit 1
It is determined that positioning using satellite radio waves received by the GPS receiver 10 is impossible.

Thus, the control processing section 1 determines whether or not satellite radio waves from each GPS satellite C can be used for positioning, and determines the available number of GPS satellites C that transmit satellite radio waves that can be used for positioning. I do.

When the control processing unit 1 determines that the available number is three or more, the control processing unit 1 creates positioning data based on the received data stored in the memory 12 at a place where the user can no longer walk. As in the example, the positioning data is transmitted from the communication unit 20 to the information processing center B via the information communication network D. When it is determined that the available number is two or less, the following processing is performed.

First, the control processing section 1 controls the traveling mechanism section 30 to rotationally drive the wheels 31, and sets the terminal itself as shown in FIG. It is moved by a predetermined distance to each side of d. Then, at the positions moved in the directions a to d, the satellite radio waves from the respective GPS satellites C are received by the GPS receiver 10 in the same manner as described above, and the C / N value of each satellite radio wave is calculated and stored in the memory 12. Let it be.

For example, the C / N value of the satellite radio wave transmitted from one GPS satellite C is 28 [dB] at the origin X, 45 [dB] at the position moved in the a direction, and 45 [dB] at the position moved in the b direction. 35 [dB], 26 [d] at the position moved in the c direction
B], when 28 [dB] at the position moved in the d direction, the direction in which the C / N value becomes the largest in the satellite radio wave is the a direction, and at least two other GPs are used.
Similarly, in the satellite radio wave transmitted from S satellite C, C /
When the direction in which the N value becomes the largest is the a direction, the control processing unit 1 specifies the a direction as the radio wave receiving direction e,
By controlling the traveling mechanism 30, the terminal itself is moved from the origin X by a predetermined distance in the direction a. If the direction in which the C / N value becomes largest differs for the satellite radio waves of each GPS satellite C, the direction in which the C / N values of the satellite radio waves from at least three or more GPS satellites C become large. Is specified as the radio wave receiving direction e.

When the terminal itself moves by a predetermined distance in the radio wave receiving direction e, the control processing section 1 repeats the same operation as the above-mentioned operation after the start, with the moved position as the origin X.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the control processing unit 1 specifies the direction in which the C / N value of satellite radio waves from at least three or more GPS satellites C increases as the radio wave reception direction e, and the traveling mechanism unit. 30 to the terminal itself in the radio wave receiving direction e.
By repeating the operation of moving the vehicle by a predetermined distance, even in a position where the user can no longer walk, even if the number of available GPS satellites is difficult to reach and the number of available GPS satellites is two or less, the available number of The terminal itself can be moved to three or more radio wave reception positions where positioning by GPS is possible, and accurate positioning data can be transmitted to the information processing center B.

As a result, based on the positioning data transmitted from the present embodiment, the information processing center B determines the exact location of the user who has been unable to walk due to an accident to an emergency call destination such as a police or a hospital. It is possible to notify and promptly deal with the user.

In the present embodiment, at least 3
The control processing unit 1 specifies the direction in which the C / N value of the satellite radio waves from one or more GPS satellites C increases as the radio wave reception direction e, but the origins X and a to d are determined from the reception data stored in the memory 12. The radio wave intensity at each position moved in the four directions may be compared, and the control processing unit 1 may specify the direction in which the radio wave intensity increases as the radio wave receiving direction e. For example, 1
The radio wave intensities of the satellite radio waves transmitted from the two GPS satellites C are -146 [dBm] at the origin X, -126 [dBm] at the position moved in the direction a, -136 [dBm] at the position moved in the direction b, -14 at the position moved in the c direction
7 [dBm], -146 [dB] at the position moved in the d direction
m], the direction in which the radio wave intensity is greatest in the satellite radio wave is the a direction, and the satellite radio wave transmitted from at least two or more other GPS satellites C similarly has the highest radio wave intensity. When the increasing direction is the a direction, the control processing unit 1 sets the a direction to the radio wave receiving direction e.
And the direction in which the signal strength is greatest is
If the satellite radio waves of the GPS satellites C are different from each other, the direction in which the radio wave intensity of the satellite radio waves from at least three or more GPS satellites C increases is specified as the radio wave reception direction e.

As described above, when the control processing unit 1 specifies the direction in which the radio wave intensity increases as the radio wave receiving direction e, similarly to the above, the C / C calculated at the origin X is used.
The N value may be compared with the C / N reference value to determine whether the satellite radio wave from each GPS satellite C is available for positioning, or the radio wave reference intensity may be stored in the memory 12, The radio wave intensity at the origin X may be compared with the radio wave reference intensity to determine whether satellite radio waves from each GPS satellite C can be used for positioning.

Further, at each of the positions moved in the four directions a to c, the control processing unit 1 sends the GPS satellite C
Of available GPs, and GP at any of the above positions
When the available number of S satellites becomes larger than the number at the origin X, the direction indicating the position from the origin X may be specified as the radio wave receiving direction e, as shown in FIG. (Embodiment 2) In Embodiment 1 described above, the traveling mechanism unit 30 for moving the terminal itself is provided, but in this embodiment,
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, for example, a stimulus is applied to a dog trained in accordance with the radio wave reception direction e specified by the control processing unit 1 in place of the traveling mechanism unit 30, and the radio wave reception direction e is set. An indicator 40 is provided as an instruction means for instructing the user to move to the destination. The switch 91 of the first embodiment provided on the body 90 activates the control processing unit 1 by being directly operated. However, the switch 91 of the present embodiment is
The control processing unit 1 is activated by receiving a radio signal transmitted from the outside.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the present embodiment is carried by the above-trained dog E, and the indicator 40 gives vibration stimulation to different portions of the dog E according to the radio wave receiving direction. Here, the dog E is trained to move in all directions according to the location of the vibration by the indicator 40.

For example, a user of the security system carries a remote controller 92 for transmitting the wireless signal to the switch 91 and goes out with the dog E. When an accident occurs in the place where he / she cannot go and he cannot walk,
Operate the remote controller 92 to switch the radio signal to the switch 91
And the control processing unit 1 is started.

After the start, the control processing section 1 causes the GPS receiving section 10 to receive the satellite signal as in the first embodiment, and transmits the satellite signal C of the satellite radio wave obtained from the reception data stored in the memory 12.
The available number of GPS satellites C is determined based on the / N value or the radio wave intensity. When the control processing unit 1 determines that the available number is three or more, the control unit 1 transmits the positioning data created based on the received data from the communication unit 20 via the information communication network D in a place where the user cannot walk. The information is transmitted to the information processing center B.

Here, when it is determined that the available number is two or less, the control processing section 1 controls the indicator 40 instead of controlling the traveling mechanism section 30 of the first embodiment, and Vibration is applied to the dog E so that the dog E moves a predetermined distance in all directions from the place where the person cannot walk. As a result, the body 90, that is, the terminal itself moves in the four directions, and the control processing unit 1 determines the radio wave receiving direction e based on the C / N value or the radio field intensity at each position moved in the four directions, as in the first embodiment. Then, the indicator 40 is controlled again to vibrate the dog E to move the terminal itself by a predetermined distance in the radio wave receiving direction e. After moving by the predetermined distance, the control processing unit 1 repeats the same operation as the above-mentioned operation after the start, with the moved position as the origin.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the control processing section 1 specifies the radio wave receiving direction e, and repeats the operation of moving the dog E to the dog E by the predetermined distance in the radio wave receiving direction e with the indicator 40, thereby allowing the user Even if the satellite radio waves from the GPS satellite C are difficult to reach at the position where the user cannot walk, the terminal itself can be moved to the radio wave receiving position and accurate positioning data can be transmitted to the information processing center B. (Embodiment 3) Since the basic configuration of this embodiment is common to that of Embodiment 2, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted, and only the features that are characteristic of this embodiment will be described in detail. I do.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when the user of the security system is indoors where the satellite radio waves from the GPS satellite C are difficult to reach, and when an accident occurs and he cannot walk, he operates the remote controller 92. Then, the control processing unit 1 is started.

After startup, the control processing unit 1 determines the number of available GPS satellites C as in the second embodiment, and if it determines that the number is three or more, the control processing unit 1 executes the GPS reception at a place where the user cannot walk. The positioning data created based on the satellite radio waves received by the unit 10 is transmitted from the communication unit 20 to the information processing center B.

Here, when it is determined that the available number is two or less, the control processing unit 1 changes the direction from the image signal and the map data to the outdoor exit as described above. It is specified as.

Then, as in the second embodiment, the control processor 1 vibrates the indicator 40 in accordance with the radio wave receiving direction e, and instructs the dog E to move in the radio wave receiving direction e.

The control processing unit 1 moves,
The image signal from the camera 41 is processed as needed to specify the radio wave receiving direction e. When there is an obstacle such as a wall in the radio wave receiving direction e, the control processing unit 1 processes the image signal. The presence of the obstacle is detected from the result, and the dog E is moved in a direction to avoid the obstacle with reference to the map data.

As a result, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to move to an outdoor radio wave receiving position where satellite radio waves from the GPS satellite C can easily reach, and transmit accurate positioning data to the information processing center B.

By the way, in this embodiment, the terminal itself is moved to the dog E with the indicator 40 as described above, but as in the first embodiment, the travel mechanism 3 is replaced with the indicator 40.
