Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a housing information communication device that can transmit crime prevention information generated in a housing to an information center via a communication line.

[Conventional technology]

Security information for residences and various meter reading information such as gas, water, and electricity are transmitted to the information center via communication lines such as public telephone lines and private lines, and the information center also transmits the above-mentioned information via communication lines from this information center. Residential information communication devices that control various devices, report to crime prevention agencies, dispatch personnel, and communicate data to designated agencies such as the police and security companies are beginning to be put into practical use.

Generally, crime prevention sensors that detect crime prevention information are attached to windows, doors, etc., and output information to an electronic control circuit that takes appropriate action depending on the sleepover mode, out-of-home mode, and at-home mode, which are switched by a mode switch. For example, when a window or door is opened during sleepover mode or going-out mode, the electronic control circuit transmits an abnormality alarm to the information center and also outputs the abnormality alarm using a buzzer or the like.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, with the above-mentioned conventional housing information communication device, after the resident operates the mode switch to switch from home mode to sleepover mode or out-of-home mode and before the resident goes out, windows and doors may be damaged due to the resident's carelessness or intentionality. When opened, the security sensor outputs an abnormality signal, which could cause the electronic control circuit to activate a buzzer to sound an abnormality alarm and send abnormality information to the information center.

In addition, if a resident returns home and unlocks the door and opens the door while sleepover mode or going out mode is selected, the security sensor will output an abnormality signal, so the electronic control circuit will There was a possibility that the buzzer would activate and an abnormality alarm would sound, and that abnormality information would be sent to the information center.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a housing information communication device that prevents transmission and display of abnormality information during a set time even if a resident opens or closes opening/closing fittings when selecting a sleepover mode or a going-out mode. do.

[Means for solving problems]

The first invention includes: an information center that is installed outside a residence and processes crime prevention information and meter reading information; a security sensor that outputs an abnormality signal according to the opening/closing state of opening/closing fittings such as doors, windows, and doors of the residence; A mode switch provided in the house to select sleepover mode, going-out mode, and at-home mode, a display device provided in the house, and an abnormality occurrence signal from the security sensor when the sleepover mode or the going-out mode is selected. an electronic control circuit that displays abnormality information in response to the abnormality occurrence signal on the display device and transmits the abnormality information to the information center via a communication line when an abnormality occurrence signal is input; The control circuit has a crime prevention control timer that operates for a set time from the time when the sleepover mode or the going out mode is selected, and inputs an abnormality occurrence signal from the crime prevention sensor while the crime prevention control timer is operating. Even if the abnormality information is detected, a technical means is adopted to display warning information different from the abnormality information on the display device and to stop sending it to the information center.

The second invention includes: an information center that is provided outside a residence and processes crime prevention information and meter reading information; and a security sensor that outputs an abnormality occurrence signal according to the opening/closing state of opening/closing fittings such as doors, windows, and doors of the residence.

During this time, technical measures were adopted to display warning information different from the abnormality information on the display device and to stop sending it to the information center.

[Effect]

(First invention) a) When sleepover mode or outing mode is selected by the mode switch, the electronic control circuit starts the security control timer. At this time, when the resident opens the opening/closing fittings to go out, the security sensor outputs an abnormality signal, but while the security control timer is operating, that is, during the set time after inputting the abnormality signal, Stop sending abnormality information to the information center in response to the abnormality signal.

Furthermore, by displaying warning information different from the abnormality information on the display device, residents can be cautioned to leave the house immediately.

(b) When warning information is displayed, it is possible to make residents aware of the extra time necessary for them to leave their homes, for example.

(Second invention) a) When the sleepover mode or outing mode is selected by the mode switch, when a resident returns home and opens the opening/closing fittings, an abnormality occurrence signal is output from the security sensor. At this time, the electronic control circuit
