Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] When an emergency push button switch provided on a resident is accidentally pressed, an emergency call is canceled with a simple operation. In addition, a commercially available push button switch can be used. [Structure] The emergency push button switch 3 connected to the dwelling unit board 1 has an a contact. The dwelling unit board 1 has a CPU 9,
When the two-push interval of the push-button switch 3 is detected and the push-button switch 3 is pushed twice within 20 seconds, no emergency call is sent to the center monitoring panel 13. Therefore, if the user pushes the push button switch 3 by mistake, he can push the push button switch 3 again within 20 seconds to cancel the emergency call.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a false alarm prevention device in an emergency call system used in an apartment for elderly people.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In an emergency call system of this type, when a resident pushes an emergency call push button in a dwelling unit in an emergency, an electric signal is transmitted to a center (for example, a manager's room or a nurse station) and the other It reports to the Life Support Advisor (hereinafter abbreviated as LSA) in the dwelling unit.

Since the push button can be easily pushed even by an elderly person, on the contrary, there is a possibility that the push button may be mistakenly pushed in daily life to give a false alarm even in an emergency. Each time the LSA receives a false alarm, it needs to confirm the safety of the resident. Such confirmation work will be a heavy burden as the number of housing units managed by the LSA increases.

Therefore, an emergency push button for solving such a false alarm problem has recently been used. This emergency push button has a built-in timer function and recovery function by an electronic circuit, so if you inadvertently press the push button by mistake, you can pull the recovery button within 20 seconds.
It is designed so that it will not be reported to the A side, and it is waterproof to protect the electronic circuits. Then, the push button, the recovery button, and the electronic circuit for the timer function are integrally housed in a waterproof case. It also has a buzzer function that starts to ring when the push button is pressed and does not ring when the recovery button is pulled within 20 seconds.

[0005]

The above-mentioned conventional emergency push button has a built-in electronic circuit for a buzzer and a timer function, requires a waterproof structure, and has a recovery button for canceling operation. However, there is a problem in that not only is it complicated and costly, but also the reliability is lowered.

[0006] Further, the operation of pulling the recovery button for the cancel operation is complicated and is not suitable for the elderly system, and the design can be freely selected from general-purpose push button products according to the color tone of the room. There is a problem that it is difficult to make a specific selection, and it is difficult to make a selection especially for Japanese-style rooms where grip buttons are generally used.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a false alarm prevention apparatus which can solve the problems of the prior art.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, the false alarm prevention apparatus of the present invention is provided with a push button switch (3), an indicator lamp (4), a buzzer (5), and an alarm reset button switch ( A push button switch (3) in an emergency notification system comprising 6), a dwelling unit board (1) connecting them and a center monitoring panel (13) connected by a bus line (12) and having a warning buzzer (15) Is a contact point, and the dwelling unit panel (1) detects the two-push interval of the push button switch, and when the dwelling unit panel (1) is pushed twice within a certain time T, an emergency call is sent from the dwelling unit panel (1) to the center monitoring panel (13). It is characterized by having a program that does not.

[0009]

When the resident presses the push button switch (3), the contact a is closed, the dwelling unit board (1) lights the indicator light (4), and the buzzer (5) sounds. If this state continues for a certain period of time T or longer, an emergency notification is issued from the dwelling unit panel (1) to the center monitoring panel (13) and a warning buzzer (15) of the center monitoring panel (13) is sounded.

If the resident mistakenly presses the push button switch (3)
If you notice that you have pressed and then press the push button switch (3) again within a certain time (for example, 20 seconds), the dwelling unit board (1)
Detects that the pressing interval is twice within a certain time T,
No emergency call is sent to the center monitoring panel.

[0011]

EXAMPLES In the block diagrams of FIGS. 1 and 3, 1 and 2 are a first dwelling unit (room 101) and a second dwelling unit (room 102).
In the dwelling unit boards provided in and respectively, in each dwelling unit (each room), there are pushbutton switches 3 connected to the dwelling unit boards 1 and 2, respectively.
An indicator lamp 4, a buzzer 5, and an alarm reset button switch 6 are provided.

The push button switch 3 has an a contact. or,
The dwelling unit boards 1 and 2 have a RAM 7 and a ROM 8 as shown in FIG.
A CPU 9 connected to the CPU, an I / O 10 for connecting the push button switch 3, the indicator lamp 4, the buzzer 5, and the alarm reset button switch 6 to the CPU, and a variable switch 11 connected to the I / O. ..

The I / Os 10 of the dwelling unit boards 1 and 2 are connected to a center monitoring board 13 by a bus line 12. This center monitoring panel 13 has an alarm indicator light 14 corresponding to each dwelling unit (each room), a warning buzzer 15, and a buzzer reset button 16
It has and.

Next, referring to the time chart of FIG. 2, FIG.
The operation of the system shown in FIG. 2 will be described. When the resident of room 101 presses push button switch 3 (Fig. 2a), CPU of dwelling board 1
9 turns on the corresponding indicator light 4 and sounds the buzzer 5. When the CPU 9 of the dwelling unit board 1 detects that a certain delay time T (for example, 20 seconds) has elapsed, the dwelling unit board 1 will move to the bus line 12
An alarm message signal B is sent to the center monitoring panel 13 via the, and in the center monitoring panel 13, the warning indicator lamp 14 corresponding to the room 101 lights up and the warning buzzer 15 is sounded to notify the LSA.

As shown by symbol C in FIG. 2, even if the push button switch 3 is pressed after the alarm message signal B is transmitted,
The warning indicator lamp 14 and the warning buzzer 15 remain activated. After that, as shown by reference numeral 2 in FIG. 2, when the alarm reset button 6 is pressed, the dwelling unit board 1 is activated to turn off the indicator lamp 4 and stop the buzzer 5, and at the same time, the center monitoring panel 13 is sent with an alarm recovery message signal. To send. Upon receiving this signal, the center monitoring board 13 turns off the warning indicator lamp 14 and stops the buzzer 15.

Next, the push button switch 3 is pushed as indicated by a symbol F to activate the indicator lamp 4 and the buzzer 5 and before the fixed delay time T (for example, 20 seconds) elapses, the resident makes a mistake. When the user notices that the push button switch 3 has been pushed, and pushes the push button switch 3 as indicated by the symbol G after 15 seconds (t), the CPU 9 detects that the delay time of 20 seconds has not elapsed, and turns on the indicator light 4. Turn off and stop buzzer 5. The alarm message is not transmitted even after 20 seconds, and the emergency call is canceled when the push button switch 3 is pressed twice.

[0017]

Since the false alarm prevention device of the present invention is constructed as described above, since the signal from the push button to the dwelling board is only the contact output, the commercially available emergency push button can be freely selected and used. The structure such as waterproof can be easily designed. As a result, not only cost reduction and reliability improvement of the push button can be easily achieved, but also the degree of freedom in designing the push button is high.

Further, since the canceling operation when the push button is accidentally pressed can be performed simply by pressing the push button again, so that even an elderly person can make no mistake.
