a receiving means to receive a prescribed remote control signal and/or a capturing means to capture an emergency signal;

a second unlocking control means to make locking mechanisms to at least two or more doors in the unlocked state, when the receiving means receives the prescribed remote control signal or the capturing means captures the emergency signal;

a first opening detecting means to detect the opening of a door; and

a second locking control means to make the locking mechanisms to the closed doors in the locked state, when the opening of the door is detected by the first opening detecting means after the doors are unlocked by the second unlocking control means.

3. A security system according to claim 2, comprising:

a first closing detecting means to detect the closing of a door; and

a third locking control means to make the locking mechanism to the door the closing of which is detected in the locked state, when the door is opened after the doors are unlocked by the second unlocking control means, and then the closing of the opened door is detected by the first closing detecting means.

4. A security system, which is introduced into a vehicle or a building having one or more doors, comprising:

a receiving means to receive a prescribed remote control signal and/or a capturing means to capture an emergency signal;

a first unlocking control means to make a locking mechanism or locking mechanisms to one or more doors in the unlocked state, when the receiving means receives the prescribed remote control signal or the capturing means captures the emergency signal;

a first opening detecting means to detect the opening of a door; and

a fourth locking control means to make the unlocked locking mechanism or mechanisms in the locked state, when the opening of the door is detected by the first opening detecting means after the door or doors are unlocked by the first unlocking control means;

wherein the locking mechanism or mechanisms are self-locking mechanisms.

5. A security system, which is introduced into a vehicle or a building having at least two or more doors, comprising:

a receiving means to receive a prescribed remote control signal and/or a capturing means to capture an emergency signal;

a third unlocking control means to make a locking mechanism to a prescribed door in the unlocked state, when the receiving means receives the prescribed remote control signal or the capturing means captures the emergency signal;

a second closing detecting means to detect the closing of the prescribed door; and

a fifth locking control means to make the locking mechanism to the prescribed door in the locked state, when the prescribed door is opened after being unlocked by the third unlocking control means, and then the closing of the opened prescribed door is detected by the second closing detecting means.

6. A security system, which is introduced into a vehicle or a building having at least two or more doors, comprising:

a receiving means to receive a prescribed remote control signal and/or a capturing means to capture an emergency signal;

a third unlocking control means to make a locking mechanism to a prescribed door in the unlocked state, when the receiving means receives the prescribed remote control signal or the capturing means captures the emergency signal;

a second opening detecting means to detect the opening of the prescribed door; and

a sixth locking control means to make the locking mechanism to the prescribed door in the locked state, when the opening of the prescribed door is detected by the second opening detecting means after the prescribed door is unlocked by the third unlocking control means;

wherein the locking mechanism to the prescribed door is a self-locking mechanism.

7. A security system, which is introduced into a vehicle or a building having at least two or more doors, comprising;

a receiving means to receive a prescribed remote control signal and/or a capturing means to capture an emergency signal;

a second unlocking control means to make locking mechanisms to at least two or more doors in the unlocked state, when the receiving means receives the prescribed remote control signal or the capturing means captures the emergency signal;

a first closing detecting means to detect the closing of a door; and

a seventh locking control means to make the locking mechanism to the door the closing of which is detected in the locked state, when the door is opened after the doors are unlocked by the second unlocking control means, and then the closing of the opened door is detected by the first closing detecting means.

9. A security system according to claim 7, comprising:

a second closing detecting means to detect the closing of a prescribed door; and

a ninth locking control means to make the locking mechanisms to the closed doors in the locked state, when the prescribed door is opened after the doors are unlocked by the second unlocking control means, and then the closing of the opened prescribed door is detected by the second closing detecting means.

8. A security system, which is introduced into a vehicle or a building having at least two or more doors, comprising:

a receiving means to receive a prescribed remote control signal and/or a capturing means to capture an emergency signal;

a second unlocking control means to make locking mechanisms to at least two or more doors in the unlocked state, when the receiving means receives the prescribed remote control signal or the capturing means captures the emergency signal;
