Abstract

Abstract A security system comprising a plurality of sensors for detecting emergencies in a predetermined guard area, a transmitter-receiver for converting the emergency data into electric signals and transmitting the electric signals via a radio, a repeater for receiving the electric signals from the transmitter-receiver and transmitting the signal to a security controller, a security controller for setting a guard mode such as "start watch", and "release the watch" and transmitting the emergency and ordinary data to a central station through a transmission line such as a telephone cable or personal circuit, and a central station for supervising the predetermined guard area based on the data from this and other security controllers.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 259 words
A security alarm system for watching emergency situations in a predetermined guard area comprising: a plurality of sensors for detecting the emergencies; a transmitter-receiver for a guard area connected to said sensors and having a battery power source; a repeater associated with said transmitter-receiver through radio; a security controller connected to said repeater; and a central station connected to said security controller using a transmission line and giving a guard command to an operator on the basis of emergency or ordinary data transmitted from said security controller; means for providing a pulsating voltage from said power source for the guard area such that a predetermined pulsating voltage is applied from said battery power source to said transmitter-receiver under ordingary conditions, a predetermined voltage having a longer term than a period of said pulsating voltage is applied to a receiving section of said transmitter-receiver in response to a watch signal transmitted from said security controller via said repeater before transmitting a guard mode signal from said security controller and a predetermined voltage having a longer term than the said pulsating voltage is applied to a transmitting section of said transmitter-receiver in response to an emergency signal transmitted from said sensors at emergencies, or in response to said guard mode signal transmitted from said security controller via said repeater; said repeater stores the emergency and ordinary data transmitted from said transmitter-receiver temporarily; and said security controller reads out these data stored in said repeater, discriminates emergency or ordinary data, and transmits emergency data and guard mode signal to said central station.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 259 words
A security alarm system for watching emergency situations in a predetermined guard area comprising: a plurality of sensors for detecting the emergencies; a transmitter-receiver for a guard area connected to said sensors and having a battery power source; a repeater associated with said transmitter-receiver through radio; a security controller connected to said repeater; and a central station connected to said security controller using a transmission line and giving a guard command to an operator on the basis of emergency or ordinary data transmitted from said security controller; means for providing a pulsating voltage from said power source for the guard area such that a predetermined pulsating voltage is applied from said battery power source to said transmitter-receiver under ordingary conditions, a predetermined voltage having a longer term than a period of said pulsating voltage is applied to a receiving section of said transmitter-receiver in response to a watch signal transmitted from said security controller via said repeater before transmitting a guard mode signal from said security controller and a predetermined voltage having a longer term than the said pulsating voltage is applied to a transmitting section of said transmitter-receiver in response to an emergency signal transmitted from said sensors at emergencies, or in response to said guard mode signal transmitted from said security controller via said repeater; said repeater stores the emergency and ordinary data transmitted from said transmitter-receiver temporarily; and said security controller reads out these data stored in said repeater, discriminates emergency or ordinary data, and transmits emergency data and guard mode signal to said central station.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
A security alarm system as claimed in claim 1 characterized in that the transmission of the signal is performed alternatively between said transmitter-receiver and said repeater.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 28 words
A security alarm system as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the transmission of the signal is performed through electromagnetic wave between said transmitter-receiver and said repeater.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 28 words
A security alarm system as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the transmission of the signal is performed through ultrasonic waves between said transmitter-receiver and said repeater.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 28 words
A security alarm system as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the transmission of the signal is performed through infrared rays between said transmitter-receiver and said repeater.
