Abstract

Provided are a digital smart security system and method and a program that allow reporting the occurrence of an abnormal situation in security, even in front of a suspicious person, without the suspicious person'"'"'s awareness. The digital smart security system comprises an abnormality determination unit (112) that, when breathing detected by a respiration sensor (10) for detecting a user'"'"'s breathing has a preset breathing pattern in which breathing stops for a predetermined period of time and resumes, determines it to be the occurrence of an abnormal situation, and an alarm sending unit (203) that reports the abnormal situation based on the determination result as being the occurrence of an abnormal situation. The abnormality determination unit (112), if the user has stopped breathing for a certain period of time (for example, 10 to 15 seconds) and has resumed breathing, determines it to be the occurrence of an abnormal situation. On the other hand, the abnormality determination unit (112), if breathing has stopped and does not resume, determines that an abnormal situation in health of the user has occurred.

Claims

1. A digital smart security system comprising:

respiratory information acquiring means for acquiring respiratory information from a respiration sensor for detecting breathing of personnel to which the respiratory information acquiring means is fitted;

abnormality determining means for determining that it is security abnormality, based on the respiratory information, if breathing stops for a predetermined period of time and resumes, determining that it is personnel'"'"'s health abnormality, if breathing stops and does not resume, and determining that it is not abnormality and health abnormality in the other case; and

control means for reporting different abnormal situations between the security abnormality and health abnormality by the abnormality determining means.

3. The digital smart security system according to claim 1, wherein the abnormality determining means determines that it is different abnormality, based on the respiratory information, in response to which period of a plurality of predetermined periods breathing stops and resumes, and the control means makes a different report in response to the different abnormality.

4. The digital smart security system according to claim 1, comprising:

positional information acquiring means for detecting existing positions of a plurality of communication terminals, and acquiring positional information of the communication terminals; and

jurisdiction retaining means for retaining a jurisdictional district for receiving an emergency telephone call where a building under security exists, wherein

the control means refers to the jurisdiction retaining means in response to the abnormality determining means having determined that it is an abnormal situation, and if any of the plurality of communication terminals exists in the jurisdictional district, reports preferentially to the communication terminal existing in the jurisdictional district.

5. The digital smart security system according to claim 1, wherein the reporting means transmits an e-mail message and an image.

8. A tangible non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a program stored therein, wherein the program configures a computer to perform as the digital smart security system according to claim 1.

2. (canceled)

6. A digital smart security method comprising:

a respiratory information acquiring step of acquiring respiratory information from a respiration sensor for detecting breathing of personnel to which the respiratory information acquiring means is fitted;

an abnormality determining step of determining that it is security abnormality, based on the respiratory information, if breathing stops for a predetermined period of time and resumes, determining that it is personnel'"'"'s health abnormality, if breathing stops and does not resume, and determining that it is not abnormality in the other case; and

a control step of reporting different abnormal situations between the security abnormality and health abnormality by the abnormality determining means.

7. (canceled)
