  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of a notification system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the fire operation of the notification system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a first subroutine of a flowchart when a human body is not detected at the fire detection location of the notification system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 shows an installation diagram of a notification system including a plurality of notification devices.

  In FIG. 1, the mobile terminal 101 communicates with a display unit 105 that displays the detection result of the fire detection unit 112 and the ID of the alarm 107, an ID recognition unit 103 that recognizes the ID of the alarm 107, and the alarm 107. The transmission / reception means 104, the data storage means 102 for storing the position information of the alarm device 107, and the input means 106 for inputting an operation instruction.

  The alarm 107 includes an alarm transmitter / receiver 108 that communicates with the mobile terminal 101, a human body detector 109 that detects a human body, an ID holder 110 that holds the ID of the alarm 107, and an alarm that sounds an alarm in the event of a fire. Means 111, fire detection means 112 for detecting a fire, switching means 113 for switching between a setting for not detecting fire when a human body is detected and a setting for always detecting fire, and enabling / disabling the setting The non-detection time setting means 114 for setting the time to perform and the sound data storage means 115 for storing sound data.

  In FIG. 1, the alarm device 107 is shown as one unit, but a plurality of units may form the notification system. For example, an alarm is installed for each room, or if it is an apartment house, an alarm is installed for each household.

  About the alerting | reporting system comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.

  First, the operation of the portable alarm system according to the embodiment of the present invention when a fire occurs will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, the alarm device 107 is in a standby state at S1, and when the switching means 113 detects a person at S2, it determines whether or not it is set not to detect a fire.

For example, when cooking where a lot of smoke is generated in a room where the alarm 107 is installed, the smoke may be mistakenly detected as a fire. In order to prevent this, it is assumed that the user sets the switching means 113 before cooking, and does not detect fire during the cooking period.

  If not set, the fire detection means 112 performs fire detection in S3. The fire detection means 112 includes a sensor for detecting smoke by detecting smoke, and a sensor for detecting fire by detecting the level of heat and carbon monoxide.

  After the fire is detected in S3, the ID of the alarm 107 and the detection result of the fire detection are transmitted from the ID holding means 110 to the portable terminal 101 from the alarm-side transmitting / receiving means 108 in S4.

  In S <b> 5, the ID of the alarm device 107 and the detection result of the fire detection are received by the transmission / reception means 104 of the portable terminal 101.

  In S6, the ID recognizing means 103 recognizes the ID of the alarm 107 and displays the fire detection information received in S7 and the ID of the alarm 107 on the display 105.

  Here, the ID of the alarm device 107 will be described.

  Different numbers are registered as IDs in advance in each alarm device 107 immediately after the introduction of the notification system. With these IDs, it is possible to identify a plurality of alarm devices 107 (at least one in one room) present in the house.

  However, when it is difficult to determine the alarm device 107 only with the number, the user's own ID is held in the ID holding means 110 by the operation from the input means of the portable terminal 101, and the user's own ID is displayed. It is also possible to display in 105.

  For example, when the ID of the alarm 107 installed in the Japanese-style room on the first floor of the second floor is 1009, the ID change of the alarm 107 is selected from the input means 106 of the portable terminal 101, and 1009 is “1-Japanese room”. The ID recognition unit 103 recognizes the new ID and transmits the new ID from the transmission / reception unit 104 to the notification device 107.

  The notification device 107 that has received the new ID by the notification device side transmission / reception means 108 holds the ID in the ID holding means 110 and the ID change is completed.

  By changing the ID in this way, it is possible to display “fire detection, human body detection, location is 1-Japanese room” or the like on the display means 105 of the portable terminal 101. For example, in the case of an apartment house, “503-living” can be displayed on the display means 105 in the living room of room 503.

  Further, the location information of the installation of all the alarm devices 107 in the home of the portable terminal 101 holder can be stored in the data storage unit 102 in advance in the portable terminal 101.

  Thereby, it becomes possible to store or read the position information of the installation of the alarm 107 in all the houses in the area in charge in the portable terminal 101 held by a person other than the user, for example, a fire department or a police person. .

  Here, the installation position information is, for example, the ID of the alarm 107, the address where the alarm is installed, and the name of the room.

  By storing the position information of the installation of the alarm device 107, it is possible to grasp which room should be entered when performing the rescue operation. Further, by saving the layout of each house together with the location information of the installation as part of the location information of the installation, it is possible to perform a rescue operation more quickly.

  In S8, the human body detection unit 109 performs human body detection. The human body detection means includes those detected by infrared rays and those detected using microwaves. However, since it is assumed here that a fire has occurred, the human body detection means 109 uses microwaves. Detect.

  In the human body detection means 109 using microwaves, the detection area can be switched within a range of several meters by changing the setting of radio wave reception sensitivity.

  A microwave sensor emits a microwave, receives a reflected microwave, and detects the presence / absence of an object, a moving speed, and a distance using the emitted wave and the reflected wave.

  If no human body is detected in S8, it is checked in S12 whether there are a plurality of alarm devices 107 in the notification system. If there is only one alarm device, the process returns to the standby state S1 in S13.

  From here, the case where the some alerting device 107 exists in S12 is demonstrated using Fig.4 (a) and (b).

  4A shows a case where there is no person in the room where the fire has occurred, and FIG. 4B shows a case where there is a person in the room where the fire has occurred.

  First, since a human body is not detected in S8, explanation will be given with reference to FIG.

  In S19, the detection result is transmitted to the other alarm devices (the alarm device 107a, the alarm device 107b, and the alarm device 107d) in the alarm system from the alarm device side transmission / reception means 108 of the alarm device 107c that has detected the fire 402c.

  In S20, when the fire detection result is received by each of the notification device side receiving means 108 of the notification device 107a, the notification device 107b, and the notification device 107d, the human body detection is performed by the human body detection means 109 for each notification device in S21. Done.

  In S21, since the person 401d is detected by the alarm 107d among the alarms 107a, 107b, and 107d that have not detected the fire, the alarm unit 111 of the alarm 107d issues an alarm in S22. Sounds.

  Here, by changing the setting of the alarm means 111, when a fire is detected by another alarm device 107, it is possible to give an alarm by a specific alarm method, a different sound, a light pattern, or the like.

  The alarm devices 107a and 107b whose human bodies are not detected in S21 return to the standby state S1 in S29.

  In S23, the ID and detection result of the alarm 107d (an alarm that has not detected a fire) in which a human body has been detected and the detection result are transmitted to the portable terminal 101.

Here, it is assumed that the information that the human body is not detected is not transmitted to the portable terminal 101, and the human body is not detected unless the information that the human body exists is received. However, it is also possible to send information that there is no human body.

  The transmission / reception means 104 receives the ID of the alarm device 107 in which the human body is detected in S24, in this case 107d, and the detection result that there is a person in the vicinity.

  In S25, the ID of the notification device 107d is recognized by the ID recognition means 103, and in S26, the ID of the notification device 107d and the result of human body detection are displayed on the display means.

  In S27, from the input unit 106 of the portable terminal 101, an instruction as to which data is to be reproduced from among a plurality of audio data stored in the audio data storage unit 114 and the ID of the notification device 107 for generating the audio are input. Thus, the input instruction is transmitted from the transmission / reception means 104 to the designated alarm 107.

  The instruction received by the alarm side receiving means 108 is recognized by the sound data storage means 114, and the sound data described in the instruction is selected and output from the alarm means 111.

  For example, recordings stored in the voice data storage means 114 such as “I'm going to rescue now” when going immediately to rescue, or “Please come to the window” when I want to come to the window because entry is difficult. By selecting appropriate data from the input voice data from the already-recorded voice data, it is possible to send it from the warning means 111.

  Finally, in S28, the alarm device 107 returns to the standby state S1.

  As described above, when a human body is detected in a room other than the alarm 107 that detects a fire, in addition to the presence / absence information of the alarm 107 that detects the fire and the surrounding people, The display unit 105 displays the ID of the alarm 107 and information that there is a person in the vicinity thereof.

  Next, when a human body is detected in S8, an alarm is given by the alarm means 111 in S9. At this time, the alarm means alarms using sound or light.

  When a warning is given by sound, a siren may be sounded from the alarm means 111, or voice data stored in the voice data storage means 114, for example, “fire, please blame” may be sounded from the alarm means 111. Is possible.

  When a fire is alarmed using light, it is possible to blink the light from the alarm means 111, change the intensity of the light, or keep the light on. It is also possible to use both light and sound at the same time.

  Further, by changing the setting of the alarm means 111, when a fire is detected in S3, the alarm means 111 immediately notifies the fire of S9 using either sound or light, and then the detection result is obtained from S4. It can also be sent.

  Then, when the human body is detected by the human body detection in S8, both sound and light are used, and when the human body is not detected thereafter, the detection result after performing human body detection such as only one of sound and light It is also possible to change the notification method.

  Further, the transmission operation to the mobile terminal from S4 to S7, the human body detection operation from S8, and the notification operation of S9 can be performed in parallel. It is also possible to interchange S8 and S9.

  Next, in S10, from the input unit 106 of the portable terminal 101, the data to be reproduced from the plurality of audio data stored in the audio data storage unit 114 and the ID of the alarm 107 that generates the data are input. The input instruction is transmitted from the transmission / reception means 104 to the designated alarm 107.

  The instruction received by the notification device side transmission / reception means 108 is recognized by the voice data storage means 114, and the voice data described in the instruction is selected and output from the alarm means 111.

  Next, when there is only one alarm device in the notification system in S11, the process returns to the standby state S1 in S13.

  If there are a plurality of alarm devices in S11, the operation from S19 is repeated. The operation in this case will be described with reference to FIG.

  In this case, the person 401c exists in the room where the alarm 107c where the fire 402c is detected is installed, and the person 401d exists also in the room where the fire 402c is not detected.

  Next, when it is recognized that a fire detection is not set when a person is detected in S2, the human body detection means 109 performs human body detection in S14.

  If no human body is detected here, the operation described above from S3 is repeated.

  When a human body is detected in S14, the time set in the non-detection time setting means 114 is recognized in S15. For example, when the setting is 1 hour, fire detection is not performed for 1 hour after the human body is detected in S14. If the set time (for example, 1 hour) has not been reached in S16, the process returns to S15 and waits for the passage of time until the set time is exceeded.

  When this setting is performed, if a fire is detected by the alarm device 107 in another room, the fire notification operation is also performed in 107c regardless of the setting of the switching unit 113. That is, when the ID of the switching means 113 set not to notify is different from the ID of the alarm that detects the fire, the alarm means 111 sounds an alarm regardless of the setting of the switching means.

  This will be described with reference to FIG.

  Since the person 401c is cooking a lot of smoke 403c, the switching means 113 of the alarm 107c is set not to detect fire.

  However, a fire 402b is generated in another room during the setting. Since the alarm 107b in the room has not changed the setting of the switching means 113, a fire is detected in S3 and the operation proceeds to S7. In S8, there is no person in the room where the alarm 107b is installed. The operation of the first subroutine is advanced through S12.

  In S19, information indicating that a fire has been detected by the notification device 107b is transmitted to another notification device 107, and in S20, the notification device 107c receives this information.

  Here, since the ID of the alarm 107c that is set when the fire detection is not performed by the alarm 107b that detects the fire and the switching means 113 is different, a human body is detected in S21 and an alarm is raised in S22.

  Next, when a set time (for example, 1 hour) is exceeded in S16, the switching means 113 returns to the standard setting in which a fire is detected even if a person is detected in S17.

  This is a problem if the alarm sounds during cooking, but if you forget to return to the setting after cooking is complete, you will not be notified in the event of an actual fire. Return to standard settings.

  Finally, in S18, the process returns to the standby state S1.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the alarm device for notifying a fire, it comprises a fire detection means for detecting a fire and a human body detection means for detecting a human body, and when the fire detection means detects a fire, By detecting the human body by the human body detecting means, it is possible to detect the presence or absence of a person in the vicinity of the alarm device at the time of a fire and to grasp the location of the person at the time of the fire.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the alarm device includes a switching means, and when the human body detection means does not detect a human body, the fire detection means is set by the switching means so as to operate in the vicinity of the alarm device. When a human body is detected, the operation of the fire detection means is stopped, and it is possible to prevent the user's behavior from being erroneously detected as a fire.

  Further, the portable terminal 101 can be an existing product, for example, a mobile phone. Even when the mobile terminal 101 is away from the home by using the communication function of the mobile phone, the fire information at home or the family situation at the time of fire Etc. can be grasped.

  2 and 3, the detection result may be transmitted separately from the ID in S4. Moreover, you may replace the order with the alerting | reporting to the portable terminal in S4-S5, and the human body detection in the other alerting | reporting device in S19-S21.

  Note that the means described in this embodiment causes hardware resources such as a CPU (or microcomputer), a RAM, a ROM, a storage / recording device, an electrical / information device including an I / O, a computer, a server, and the like to cooperate. You may implement with the form of a program. In the form of a program, new functions can be easily distributed / updated and installed by recording them on a recording medium such as magnetic media or optical media or distributing them via a communication line such as the Internet.

  As described above, the alarm device, the notification system, and the program thereof according to the present invention can identify the location of a person at the time of a disaster, and therefore can be applied to uses such as a system for detecting a natural disaster other than a fire.
