Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] Instead of a manager or a guard, the robot guards all floors. [Construction] A parent wireless device (parent device) 13a is installed in an elevator 3a of an office building 1a. The base unit 13a is connected to the control center 19 via the public line 17a. A patrol security robot 5a having a slave radio (slave) 7a in a state where the elevator 3a is stopped on a predetermined floor.
However, by performing wireless communication with the master 13a, the floor is moved to monitor the situation, and the content is sent to the control center 19 via the master 13a. In the state where the patrol security robot 5a is placed and the elevator 3a is moved to another floor, that floor is similarly monitored and this is sent to the control center 19. In this way, the elevator 3
a on all floors of office building 1a
By performing wireless communication between 3a and the handset 7a,
All floors can be guarded by the patrol robot 5a.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wireless communication system in which a robot is patrolled in an apartment house, office building or the like for monitoring.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in an apartment house, office building, etc., a manager or a guard is usually stationed to monitor the inside of the building.

[0003]

However, in the case of monitoring for a long time, a considerable labor cost is required, and the administrator,
The burden on security guards is also heavy.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to arrange a monitoring robot in a building instead of a manager in an apartment house, an office building or the like. It is intended to provide a wireless communication system for patrol guarding by operating from a remote place.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a first radio device provided in an elevator of a building and connected to a center via a communication line, and a second radio device.
A patrol security robot having a wireless device, and communicating between the first radio device and the second wireless device while raising and lowering the elevator, and patrol the inside of the building by the patrol robot. And a wireless communication system.

[0006]

According to the present invention, the patrol security robot communicates between the first radio installed inside the elevator and the second radio installed on the patrol security robot while moving the elevator up and down. To circulate inside the building and send monitoring contents to the center.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an office building 1a in which a patrol security robot is used as an example of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 3a denotes an elevator, and a master radio device (master device) 13a is provided in the elevator 3a. Reference numeral 5a denotes a patrol security robot, which has a slave radio (slave) 7a.

FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram of the wireless patrol security robot control system. This system includes patrol security robots 5a, 5b, ..., slaves 7a, 7b, .., elevator control devices 9a, 9b ,. ..., network control units (NCU) 15a, 15b, ..., and a control center 19. As shown in FIG. 2, one patrol robot 5 is provided for each office building 1a, 1b, ....
a, 5b, ... Are arranged.

The office building 1a will be described below. The elevator control device 9a controls the elevator 3a. The parent device controller 11a can control the parent device 13a and print a list or the like indicating the monitoring status of the patrol security robot 5a to which the child device 7a is attached. The main | base station 13a is provided in the elevator 3a, and electric power is supplied from the lighting power supply in the elevator 3a. Base unit 13
a is connected to the NCU 15a via an emergency telephone line. The NCU 15a is connected to the control center 19 via the public line 17a. The child device 7a is the patrol robot 5
It is attached to a and wireless communication is performed between the child device 7a and the parent device 13a.

A dedicated line may be used instead of the public lines 17a and 17b. Also, the network control devices 15a, 1
5b is used when it is also used as another telephone, but it is not necessary when the telephone is dedicated and when ISDN is used.

Next, the procedure of patrol security in this embodiment will be described. In the state shown in FIG. 1, the elevator 3a
Is stopped on the 5th floor. In this state, the parent device 13a and the child device 7
The content monitored by the patrol security robot 5a is sent to the control center 19 via the base unit 13a and the NCU 15a. The patrol robot 5a is controlled according to a command sent from the control center 19 or operates autonomously. The base unit 13a
The elevator 3a equipped with is not moved to another floor while the patrol security robot 5a is operating, because communication with the patrol security robot 5a is prioritized.

When the patrol security robot 5a is placed and the elevator 3a moves to another floor, the patrol security robot 5a monitors the condition of this floor and sends it to the control center 19 according to the same procedure as described above. After that, in the same way,
By moving the patrol security robot 5a to each floor, monitoring the status of the floor and sending it to the control center 19,
The control center 19 can monitor all of the office buildings 1a, and the plurality of office buildings 1a, 1b, ...
... can be managed collectively.

In the above-described embodiment, the office building 1
Although a, 1b, ... Are described above, the present invention can also be applied to an apartment house or the like.

[0014]

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, it is possible to monitor all floors of a plurality of apartment houses, office buildings, etc. from a remote place without placing a person.
