Fire detection device and method of detecting fire
First Claim
1. A fire detection device, comprising:
- a gas sensor configured to detect a gaseous substance in a measurement space, and output a first result of the detection;
a measurement instrument configured to measure a diameter of each particle existing in the measurement space, and count a number of particles for each of diameter ranges to generate distribution data; and
a control device including;
a processor configured todetermine, on basis of the first result acquired from the gas sensor, whether smoke exists in the measurement space,start the measurement instrument upon determining that the smoke exists in the measurement space, anddetermine, on basis of a first instance of the distribution data acquired from the measurement instrument, whether a fire has occurred.

Abstract
A fire detection device includes a gas sensor, a measuring instrument, and a control device. The gas sensor is configured to detect a gaseous substance in a measurement space. The gas sensor is configured to output a first result of the detection. The measuring instrument is configured to measure a diameter of each particle existing in the measurement space and count a number of particles for each of diameter ranges to generate distribution data. The control device includes a processor. The processor is configured to determine, on basis of the first result acquired from the gas sensor, whether a smoke exists in the measurement space. The processor is configured to start the measuring instrument upon determining that a smoke exists in the measurement space. The processor is configured to determine, on basis of first distribution data acquired from the measuring instrument, whether a fire has occurred.

11. A method of detecting a fire, the method comprising:
-
acquiring, by a computer, a first result of detecting a gaseous substance in a measurement space, the first result being output from a gas sensor; determining, on basis of the first result, whether smoke exists in the measurement space; starting a measurement instrument upon determining that the smoke exists in the measurement space, the measurement instrument being configured to measure a diameter of each particle existing in the measurement space and to count a number of particles for each of diameter ranges to generate distribution data; and determining, on basis of a first instance of the distribution data acquired from the measurement instrument, whether a fire has occurred. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program that causes a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
-
acquiring a first result of detecting a gaseous substance in a measurement space, the first result being output from a gas sensor; determining, on basis of the first result, whether smoke exists in the measurement space; starting a measurement instrument upon determining that the smoke exists in the measurement space, the measurement instrument being configured to measure a diameter of each particle existing in the measurement space and to count a number of particles for each of diameter ranges to generate distribution data; and determining, on basis of a first instance of the distribution data acquired from the measurement instrument, whether a fire has occurred.
