Abstract

Security information notification system furnished with sensor for detecting occurrence of an abnormality, and a control unit that receives an abnormality detection signal from the sensor and issues first alarm information to a user, and then, after a set period has elapsed since issuing the first alarm information, issues second alarm information that is more detailed than the first alarm information to the user. The control unit has a transmission interrupt function that by user operation within the set period stops issuance of the second alarm information.

Claims

1. A security information notification system comprising:

a sensor for detecting abnormality occurrence; and

a control unit for receiving abnormality detection signal from the sensor, and issuing to a user first alarm information and, after a set period has elapsed since issuing the first alarm information, issuing second alarm information more detailed than the first alarm information;

wherein

the control unit has a transmission interrupt function for, by user operation within the set period, stopping issuance of the second alarm information.

2. The security information notification system according to claim 1,

wherein the control unit is connected to a surveillance camera, and images from the surveillance camera are sent to the user over a network as the second alarm information.

3. A security information notification system comprising:

a sensor for detecting abnormality occurrence;

a control unit for receiving abnormality detection signal from the sensor, and issuing to a user first alarm information and, after a set period has elapsed since issuing the first alarm information, issuing second alarm information more detailed than the first alarm information; and

a server disposed between the control unit and an alerting device in the possession of the user, for holding the first alarm information for a grace period only.

4. The security information notification system according to claim 3,

wherein the server has a retaining function for, when having received the second alarm information within the grace period after receiving the first alarm information, sending to the alerting device the content of the second alarm information together with the first alarm information.

5. The security information notification system according to claim 3,

wherein when after having received the first alarm information the server does not receive the second alarm information within the grace period, the server sends to the alerting device a message to that effect.

6. The security information notification system according to claim 3,

wherein the server has a transmission interrupt function for, by user operation of the control unit within the set period, stopping transmission of the second alarm information

7. A security information notification method, for a system furnished with a sensor for detecting abnormality occurrence;

a control unit for receiving an abnormality detection signal from the sensor, and issuing to a user first alarm information and, after issuing the first alarm information, issuing second alarm information more detailed than the first alarm information; and

a server disposed between the control unit and an alerting device in the possession of the user, for holding the first alarm information for a grace period only, the method comprising;

a step of the server receiving and retaining the first alarm information; and

a step of, when having received the second alarm information within the grace period, sending to the alerting device the content of the second alarm information together with the first alarm information.

8. A security-information-notification system control unit, comprising:

a receiving unit for receiving abnormality detection signal from a sensor which detects abnormality occurrence;

a first issuing portion for issuing to a user first alarm information;

a second issuing portion for issuing second alarm information more detailed than the first alarm information; and

a first transmission interrupting portion for, by user operation within the set period, stopping issuance of the second alarm information.

9. A security-information-notification system control unit according to claim 8, further comprising:

a second transmission interrupting portion for, by user operation within the set period, stopping issuance of the first alarm information.
