First embodiment.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram conceptually showing a buzzer with a camera according to the present embodiment. The buzzer with camera includes a switch 1, a buzzer 2, an imaging unit 3, and a storage unit 4.

  The buzzer 2 sounds when the switch 1 is turned on.

  The storage unit 4 records the video P imaged by the imaging unit 3 when the switch 1 is turned on.

  The imaging unit 3 is operating when the captured video P is recorded in the storage unit 4. The imaging unit 3 is driven by a rechargeable battery, for example.

  According to the above-described buzzer with a camera, by turning on the switch, it is possible to record the surrounding image P in the storage unit 4 when the buzzer 2 sounds.

  The buzzer with a camera may further include a transmission unit 5, and this mode is shown in FIG.

  The transmission unit 5 transmits a predetermined signal S when the switch 1 is turned on. This transmission can be understood as the transmission of the predetermined signal S by the transmission unit 5 in parallel with the recording of the video P in the storage unit 4. As the predetermined signal S, for example, a signal notifying that there is an emergency or a video recorded in the storage unit 4 can be adopted. The signal S is received by the receiving unit 6 installed in, for example, a child No. 110 house or a security company.

  FIG. 2 conceptually shows the structure of a camera-equipped buzzer. The buzzer with a camera includes a main body portion 11 and a storage unit 4. The main body portion 11 includes the imaging unit 3 and the buzzer 2 stored therein, and the switch 1.

  The main body portion 11 and the storage unit 4 are separable, and the buzzer with camera is fixed to the shoulder belt 9 by being mounted from the opposite sides via the shoulder belt 9. FIG. 3 shows a case where the camera-equipped buzzer is attached to the shoulder belt 9 of the school bag. Wearing a camera-equipped buzzer on the shoulder belt 9 of the school bag is desirable because it is easy to image a person approaching the person wearing the camera-equipped buzzer.

  By attaching the main body part 11 and the storage unit 4, the storage unit 4 is connected to the imaging unit 3 and the switch 1, respectively.

  According to the camera-equipped buzzer having such a structure, the storage unit 4 remains even if the image pickup unit 3 is removed by removing the main body portion 11 or the like. Therefore, the video P recorded so far can be held.

  The switch 1 may be turned on by pulling a string connected thereto. According to this, even if it installs in the position which cannot operate switch 1 directly, switch 1 can be turned on via a string.

  In FIG. 2, a case where the imaging unit 3 and the buzzer 2 are stored in the main body portion 11 is illustrated, but the imaging unit 3 and the buzzer 2 may be separable, for example. According to this, the buzzer 2 can be sounded even if the image pickup unit 3 is removed, for example, by tearing it off. Even if the buzzer 2 is removed, for example, by removing it, the image P can be captured by the imaging unit 3.

Second embodiment.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram conceptually showing the buzzer with a camera according to the present embodiment. The buzzer with camera includes a buzzer 2, an imaging unit 3, a storage unit 4, a detection unit 7, and a control unit 8.

  As the detection unit 7, a sensor that detects the frequency f and the amplitude A of sound can be employed. In this case, the detected frequency f and amplitude A are given to the control unit 8.

  When the control unit 8 determines that the frequency f is within a predetermined range and the amplitude A is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the control unit 8 sounds the buzzer 2 and stores the video P imaged by the imaging unit 3 in parallel therewith. Part 4 is recorded. The control unit 8 operates the imaging unit 3 when recording the video P in the storage unit 4.

  A frequency range of a voice of a person wearing a buzzer with a camera can be adopted as the predetermined range. Also, a plurality of frequency regions different from each other may be registered in advance, and the selected frequency regions may be adopted as a predetermined range by switching them with a switch, for example.

  According to such a buzzer with a camera, since the sound is detected and the buzzer 2 sounds and the video P is recorded in the storage unit 4 in parallel, the operation of the switch 1 is unnecessary. Moreover, since the buzzer 2 is sounded when the sound frequency f is within a predetermined range and the amplitude A is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, false alarms can be reduced.

  The detection unit 7 may employ a sensor that detects the heartbeat or pulse value a. In this case, the detected numerical value a is given to the control unit 8.

  When the control unit 8 determines that the numerical value a is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, the control unit 8 sounds the buzzer 2 and records the video P captured by the imaging unit 3 in the storage unit 4 in parallel therewith. The control unit 8 operates the imaging unit 3 when recording the video P in the storage unit 4.

  According to such a camera-equipped buzzer, the operation of the switch 1 is unnecessary because the sounding of the buzzer 2 and the recording of the video P to the storage unit 4 are performed in parallel by detecting the heartbeat or the pulse value “a”. . Moreover, since the buzzer 2 is sounded when the numerical value “a” is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, false alarms can be reduced.

  The heartbeat or pulse value a is likely to change. For example, even if it is not an emergency such as when a suspicious person approaches, the numerical value a can be improved by exercising. If the buzzer is sounded even in such a case, false alarms will be caused and it is not desirable.

  Therefore, the control unit 8 may perform the following control. That is, when it is determined that the numerical value a is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the video P captured by the imaging unit 3 without causing the buzzer 2 to ring is recorded in the storage unit 4. The buzzer 2 rings when, for example, the switch 1 is connected to the buzzer 2 and the switch 1 is turned on. Alternatively, a sensor for detecting the frequency f and the amplitude A of the sound is further provided, and when the control unit 8 determines that the frequency f is in a predetermined range and the amplitude A is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the control of the control unit 8 is performed. As a result, the buzzer 2 sounds. As a result, misinformation can be avoided.

  For example, the control unit 8 may perform the following control. That is, when it is determined that the numerical value a which is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value L1 at a certain time t1 becomes equal to or larger than the predetermined value L2 (L2> L1) at the time t2 after a predetermined time elapses, the buzzer 2 is sounded. In parallel, the video P imaged by the imaging unit 3 is recorded in the storage unit 4.

  As the predetermined time, it is desirable to adopt a short time of about 10 seconds, for example. This is because the determination of the control unit 8 is performed when the heartbeat or the pulse value a is significantly increased due to, for example, the approach of a suspicious person, thereby reducing false alarms. This content can be grasped when the buzzer 2 is sounded and the video P is recorded in the storage unit 4 in parallel when the time variation of the numerical value a is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.

  In any of the above-described buzzers with a camera, it is desirable to further include a lamp that is turned on when the video P is recorded in the storage unit 4. This is because it can be recognized that the video P captured by the lamp lighting is recorded. For example, it can be assumed that a suspicious person runs away after seeing a lamp.

  Moreover, the buzzer with a camera mentioned above may further be provided with the transmission part 5, and this aspect is shown by FIG.

  The transmission unit 5 transmits a predetermined signal S in parallel with the recording of the video P in the storage unit 4. The predetermined signal S and the receiving unit 6 can be selected similarly to the first embodiment.

  Any of the camera-equipped buzzers described in the present embodiment may further include the switch 1 described in the first embodiment. That is, when the switch 1 is manually turned on, the operation described in the first embodiment is performed independently of the control described in the present embodiment.

  The switch 1 may be employed instead of the detection unit 7. That is, when the switch 1 is turned on, the fact that it is turned on is notified to the control unit, and the control unit performs the same control as described above.
