Description

The utility model relates to autonomous, portable GSM alarm systems and monitoring systems; it can be used in systems used for remote monitoring of the status of stationary and mobile objects located in the wireless coverage area.

With the development of GSM signaling technologies, they have firmly taken their position as a means of protection.

One of such alternative technical solutions is the so-called local (autonomous) security device, characterized in that notifications from the guarded object are transmitted not to the central monitoring station (CMS), but directly to the user and / or persons authorized by him (hereinafter, subscribers). In the event of a particular alarm message, the initial response to the emerging threat is carried out by the efforts of subscribers who have received notifications (for example, family members, neighbors and other persons) who can contact the nearest EMERCOM structure, the police on duty, or take active measures to eliminate threats.

Such alternative technical solutions are very popular among users who have small-sized apartments, small private houses, offices, garages, temporary housing, yachts and other vehicles (TS); or who often move or have motor homes, and consider installing a conventional alarm system impractical, because when moving from one place to another, alarms that have already been installed are not transportable.

Such products must be self-contained, fully equipped.

Known remote monitoring system "Video control" (from JSC "VimpelCom"), which includes a GSM camera with the ability to send MMS-messages, which is the central control module (central unit) of the technical solution; as well as a WEB-interface for managing the system and a remote control for arming and disarming. The MMS camera has built-in infrared (IR) illumination and a backup power supply, designed to work up to 24 hours in the event of a power outage. (http://b2b.beeline.ru/media/Documents for download / present videokontrol.pdf - on 09/01/13)

The main disadvantage of the central control module (MMS camera) of this remote monitoring system is the use of external power from an external power supply, which makes the system vulnerable to physical impact, since the MMS camera is easily turned off by damage to the power wires.

Also known is the "Autonomous GSM-alarm system" according to the patent of the Russian Federation No. 99639 for utility model (G08B 25/00, priority from 07/20/2010), which contains a control panel with an antenna for the internal radio channel, a central warning unit. The control panel contains a controller, an integrated wireless IR motion detector, and an internal radio channel transceiver connected to the controller. The central warning unit includes a central processor connected to the built-in microphone, with a central transceiver of the internal radio channels, the antenna of which is configured to exchange messages on the internal radio channels with a control panel and autonomous wireless detectors. There is also a GSM module connected to the central processor and made with a GSM antenna designed to transmit and receive messages over a standard communication and data network. (See the FIPS website “Open registries” in the “Information Resources” section, http://wwwl.fips.ru).

The main disadvantage of this autonomous GSM alarm system is that the system is not portable, because It consists of three separate blocks: a control panel, a central warning unit and a GSM module, which require a place to place them in a protected area.

In addition, a self-contained mobile alarm system is known according to patent WO / 2009/103827 (G08B 13/00, 21/18, 25/10; priority dated February 18, 2008 according to Spanish patent ES 2326017), which is a prototype of the claimed technical solution. Said autonomous mobile signaling system comprises a user mobile terminal and a detection and communication device. The detection and communication device includes a set of built-in sensors that detect events, as well as a control panel connected to an array of sensors to receive signals indicating the event, and a mobile monitoring terminal that receives signals indicating events from the control panel and sends information about these events on the user's mobile terminal. The mobile monitoring terminal contains a digital video (or photo) camera, a battery supplying an array of sensors, and is connected to a control panel.

The main disadvantage of the detection and communication device in the indicated autonomous mobile alarm system is its execution, in which the built-in motion sensor providing the presence detection has a narrow field of view. This limits the functionality of the system.

In addition, the battery, which determines the autonomy of the system, powers both the array of sensors and the control panel. Therefore, the battery life (without user intervention) of the alarm system is not long.

The objective of this utility model is to create a fully autonomous remotely controlled portable radio channel device for burglar alarm systems with cellular GSM-mobile communication, installed without installation work and easy to manage.

The technical result is:

- to ensure effective tracking of events by individually notifying the subscriber about a break-in and / or a fire (or other emergency) using SMS, MMS, voice;

- in providing visual observation in low light;

- in the expansion of functionality due to remote control of the work process;

- in providing interactive software encoding of the radio channel to protect against code spoofing and simulate system devices;

- in reducing the cost of the security alarm system without compromising on quality;

- to increase the battery life of the alarm system due to the low energy consumption of the detection and communication device, the economical mode of operation of its constituent autonomous radio devices.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the proposed stand-alone portable radio-channel detection and communication device for alarm systems, with an arm / disarm control unit, contains in one housing: a control panel having a transceiver with an internal radio channel antenna, a microcontroller and associated built-in infrared (IR) motion detector and infrared camera for use in the dark; a power source, as well as a GSM module connected to the microcontroller, made with a GSM antenna, which is an external antenna of the device, and a built-in microphone connected to the GSM module; and differs in that the detection and communication device is made in the form of an autonomous wireless burglar alarm with functions for capturing and transmitting event images via a standard GSM-communication channel, in which the microcontroller provides verification of the arming / disarming control unit, made as a minimum one external remote control (key fob) with the function of exchanging information and entering a verification code.

The essence of the proposed technical solution is illustrated by the following attached drawings.

In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the utility model, a stand-alone portable radio channel detection and communication device 2 (FIG. 1) for a security alarm system (in the proposed utility model, a security alarm device with functions for photographing and transmitting event images via a standard GSM communication channel, hereinafter - GSM photo signaling device) contains a control panel 6 (FIG. 1 and FIG. 2), equipped with an antenna 7 of the internal radio channel, a power source 9, as well as a GSM module 8 and an integrated microphone 10 connected thereto.

In a possible embodiment, the construction of the control panel 6, it includes (Figure 2) a microcontroller 11 and its associated built-in IR motion detector 14 and a camera 13 with IR illumination; as well as a transceiver 12 (transceiver of internal radio channels), the antenna 7 of which is configured to exchange messages via an internal radio channel with a radio siren 4 and with autonomous wireless detectors 5, each of which, like the control panel 6, is equipped with an antenna 7 of an internal radio channel.

Associated with the transceiver 12, the GSM module 8 is equipped with a GSM antenna 15, which is the external communication antenna of the system in question, and is configured to receive / transmit notifications to the arming / disarming control unit 3 (remote control, key fob).

The system comprises devices for interactive program coding of a radio channel. To control and receive information from the security system, a wireless network is used from among the standard ones supported by a mobile phone or tablet computer.

Dialog coding of the radio channel is based on the use of a programmed algorithm for changing codes by which the alarm system units recognize each other.

The purpose of coding: protection against hacking, in particular, against code spoofing and imitation of system devices. Dialogue exchange consists of a request for exchange and exchange with a dynamic code (key). The recognition or code entry device is made in the form of a remote control (key fob) 3.

In two-way systems, the reception of the first code (request) is followed by an automatic confirmation of the execution of the “command” (ie, an independent “control-response”, without user intervention).

The dialogue algorithm for the claimed autonomous portable radio-channel security alarm system briefly looks something like this:

- the keyfob 3 is the initiator of the dialogue - when the button is pressed, the keyfob ejects only its code (ID number, key, recognition data);

- the microcontroller 11 of the GSM photosignallator receives the keyfob code 3, and checks if the keyfob number is in the device memory;

- if the recognition data is installed, the microcontroller 11 responds with a control signal with a code (key) generated according to the dynamic law;

- the keychain 3 receives the key, calculates the verification and sends it to the microcontroller 11;

- the system checks the response to the correctness and executes the command (sends a confirmation of the execution of the "command" to the key fob).

Utility Model Implementation

Autonomous portable radio-channel detection and communication device for alarm systems can be implemented as follows (see Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 4). The protected object (see, for example, FIG. 4) is equipped with a detection and communication device 2 — a GSM photo-signaling device. The owner of the specified object (system user) has a mobile terminal of user 1, for example, a cell phone, the number of which is considered in the system as the "first" (primary) telephone number, which is turned on and is activated on the network, thereby establishing a continuous connection, for example, between GSM - a communications operator and a guarded facility. As a subscriber, a detection and communication device 2 is perceived, which is equipped with a SIM card or SIM chip and has a phone number registered by the communication operator.

The user “prescribes” one or more phone numbers assigned to the operator for the detection and communication devices 2, due to the absence of the network, SMS messages or voice messages will be sent to his mobile phone number.

The aforementioned GSM photo signaling device (detection and communication device) 2 is installed covertly inside the guarded room (for example, on a cabinet or wall of a room, a corridor, etc.), at a height of 2.0 to 2.5 m, so that it is part of the control Panel 6, an integrated IR motion detector 14 would have an overview of the entire guarded room. When installed at a height of 2 m, the detection range will be about 10 m, the viewing angle of 87 degrees. The GSM photoalarm must be installed so that the likely penetration paths of the intruder cross the central axis of the detection zone, (http://www.express-gsm.ru/gsm signalizacija / express_gsm / - on 01/01/2013)

The GSM photo signaling device is designed to detect penetration into the protected space of an enclosed space, to notify by dialing and / or sending SMS to a GSM telephone, as well as to photograph the protected space when an intrusion is detected (even in low light conditions, as there is infrared illumination) and send Photos on Email via GPRS. The GSM photo signaling device is equipped with an autonomous power supply, has a battery saving mode. The case of the device is small, compact, there are several options for its installation in a protected area.

In a possible use case (Figure 4), in a portable radio-channel security alarm system, together with a GSM photo signaling device, autonomous wireless detectors 5 are used, which are placed in various places of the room, depending on their functional purpose. So, if a magnetic contact radio sensor is used as an autonomous wireless detector 5, then it can be installed on the entrance and / or interior doors, windows and other similar places. If a smoke fire detector is used as a stand-alone wireless detector 5, then it is installed on the ceiling. Security detectors monitor the perimeter and interior space of premises, detecting penetration through windows and doors, moving people, smoke, and so on.

For sound and light alerts, together with the GSM photo signaling device, an autonomous wireless siren 4 (light-sound radio siren) is used, which emits sound signals in case of disturbing events and when arming / disarming. Placement (or fastening) of the radio sirens 4 is carried out in any convenient place on a rigid support, for example, on a bookshelf or wall.

When the motion sensor 14 of the GSM 2 signaling device 2 is triggered, the camera 13 and the GSM module 8 “start up”, while listening to the radio channel and compressing the received image (preparing the photo for sending to the subscriber). Programmed time 20-40 sec. the delay allows the subscriber to remove the alarm (disarm) if the “intruder” is the subscriber himself or any of the users who have authorized access (“his”).

If timely disarming does not occur, then the radio siren 4 is turned on and the notification of the owner begins by means of an SMS alarm message (Figure 3) and a call to a mobile phone number programmed into the device’s memory.

Alarm Notifications / Alert /. If the notification delay is set, then the GSM photo-detector will wait for the set time, and only then will the notification begin.

The GSM 2 photo signaling device sends to SMS “1sms” (the number of the 1st notification telephone number) recorded in the SIM card memory, SMS messages about arming, disarming, and 1sms ... 6sms alarm messages (see Figure 3). In addition to these messages, the “1sms” number comes with settings messages containing balance and test messages.

As a rule, the owners of the premises are included in the notification circle, but if it is possible to specify more contact phone numbers (for example, add an office phone), the reliability will be higher.

When an alarm is generated, the GSM 2 photodetector (depending on the specified notification parameter) sends an SMS message and / or rings to the first (main) notification number.

GSM 2 will stop dialing and go to the next number in the following cases:

- when the subscriber is online, but does not answer, after 30 seconds;

- when the subscriber is online, but the line is busy - after 5 seconds;

- when the subscriber is offline, - after 10 seconds.

Dialing will be terminated after the “answer” of one of the called subscribers (receiving or hanging up the call). Then the GSM 2 photo signaling device will send an SMS with the text “Alarm” to the numbers “2sms” ... “6sms” ”.

Simultaneously with sending SMS messages about alarm and dialing, the system will emit light and sound signals by the radio siren for 1 minute.

After the GSM 2 photo signaling device has completed the notification, it sends a photo confirming the alarm signal via GPRS to the subscriber’s email and for 30 seconds waits for incoming calls from the numbers “1sms” ... “6sms” for disarming (“delete alarm” )

Photographing the protected area takes place no more than 1 second after the penetration is detected. After sending all SMS, the photo is sent to E-mail via GPRS. If penetration is detected, photographing can be done twice. The second photographing is carried out with a delay of 6 to 30 seconds after the first, depending on the setting.

With an incoming call, the GSM 2 photo signaling device will drop the call and send an SMS to the main notification number with the text “Disarmed by call + 7XXXXXXXXXX (dom)” and will switch to the “Disarmed” mode. You can also disarm with an alarm using the key fob 3 (remote control) - the GSM photo signaling device will send an SMS: “Disarmed with the N (dom) key fob” (Figure 3). After notification of an alarm, the GSM photo-alarm device pauses for 30 ... 250 seconds and automatically returns to the armed mode (by sending the “arming” command to the siren).

Thus, the management of an autonomous portable radio channel photo signaling device GSM 2 is possible using a cell phone 1 and / or a remote control 3 (key fob).

To manage the settings of the GSM 2 photo signaling device, the user can also use the Express GSM ^tm Configurator Android® or iOS® application, the online service http://service.arsenalnpo.ru/en/index.php (as of 10/01/2013), as well as applications for centralized monitoring "GSM panel", the development of the applicant of this utility model.

The application for centralized monitoring of Photo Express GSM signaling devices ^tm “GSM panel” based on mobile devices with Android® operating system can be downloaded at http://plav.qoogle.com. The application allows you to centrally control up to 100 objects from one smartphone or tablet, as well as configure GSM signaling devices.

Thus, in spite of the fact that in the preferred embodiment of the utility model, the GSM 2 detector is the first to detect an intrusion in a protected area, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that wireless standalone detectors 5 (for example, a second motion detector, door open sensors and / or windows, glass break sensors, smoke, humidity, temperature and other sensors), indeed, can be used for the initial detection of a predetermined event with further confirmation of this by the photo signaling device G SM 2.

The use of several motion detectors in a protected area during the construction of an autonomous portable radio-channel security alarm system reduces the number of false alarms.

It is difficult to overestimate the ability to see and hear what happens when an alarm is triggered. Therefore, if a GSM alarm system provides the opportunity to see a photo of the situation at the time the system is triggered directly from a cell phone or computer, as well as listen to the situation, this is a very significant advantage.

The proposed stand-alone portable radio channel detection and communication device for alarm systems (Figure 1) allows you to detect an intrusion and / or other event (for example, a fire), carry out photo monitoring of the event and alert the subscriber, while being a portable and inexpensive device.

The advantages of the proposed stand-alone portable radio channel detection and communication device for GSM alarm systems are:

- the ability to see the image of an alarm event (from a mobile phone, computer via the Internet);

- access to one photo from different phones;

- listening to the situation from the phone;

- photographing at dusk and darkness;

- saving alarming photos (with the possibility of transferring the photo to the police in the future): “unlimited” memory - when photo events are accumulated, they are sent to a free data storage service available via the Internet (by E-mail).

Additional system features:

a) the alarm system has a two-way communication protocol (feedback) and radio channel protection using a dialogue code (system verification);

b) "passive arming / auto return to arming" - transferring the alarm to the arming mode a short time after the notification of an alarm;

c) "silent protection": the function is relevant when it is undesirable to turn on the sound alarm of the GSM photo signaling device. An alarm is transmitted to the subscriber number.

Alarm systems with feedback or two-way communication notify the owner of all unplanned incidents. The data about the impact is transmitted to the subscriber’s number, and the sound signal will not always work upon the impact. There are 2 two-way communication algorithms: dialogue coding and an algorithm for transmitting a signal through a GSM module.

It is from the two-sided encoding algorithm when transmitting signals (verification) that the anti-burglar characteristics of the security alarm depend. Feedback is carried out using radio transmitters (including a key fob).

Thanks to the built-in GSM-module of the detection and communication device for alarm systems, the owner, at any time and anywhere, has the ability to monitor the object of protection, "communicating with him" through a mobile communication network.

At the same time, the detection and communication device is in standby mode for the main time (“sleeps”) and may not immediately respond to pressing the keyfob buttons until it checks the communication channel (enters the operating mode). Communication check is independent of dialogue. “Events” - signals in the system are processed in real time.

To implement the claimed utility model, namely: a detection and communication device 2 and a remote control 3 (key fob) - used devices commercially available by the applicant company (http://arsenal-sib.ru/ - on 01/01/2013). These devices are designed to protect apartments, offices, cottages, vehicles and other objects of protection.

To implement the detection and communication device 2, the PHOTO EXPRESS GSM ^tm detector is used, which notifies users by dialing (or SMS) to the telephone numbers specified in the programming of the system settings (up to six numbers).

As a remote control 3, a BN-3C keyfob is used, which provides two-way radio communication with a GSM photo signaling device and serves to arm and disarm and program the system settings.

As a power source 9 use a battery of AA "Alkaline LR6, 1,5V" (2 pcs.) Or a battery of CR123A Lithium 3V.

To implement the internal radio channel for data exchange between the control panel 6, stand-alone wireless detectors 5 and stand-alone wireless siren 4 use an allowed fixed frequency of 434 MHz.

In this system, as a GSM module 8, a dual-band GSM / GPRS Sim 900 / or Sim 900R / module can be used, which is part of the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) family of modules for surface mounting (http://www.macroqroup.ru/manafactura / product / 157/3848 - as of June 13, 2013).

Thus, all the functional units and elements of the system in question are known and available in the commercial market. Therefore, the possibility of practical implementation of the considered autonomous portable radio channel alarm system is not in doubt.
