Abstract

Abstract Disclosed is a system for detecting and processing an abnormality in electromagnetic shielding for use in an intelligent building which is constructed using an electromagnetic shielding material for the skeleton and openings such as windows and doorways so that the whole of the building is formed into an electromagnetic shielding structure in order to carry out radio communication inside the building. The system has radio wave detecting means for detecting an external radio wave inside the building, level judging means for judging the level of an external radio wave detected by the radio wave detecting means, and processing means for detecting and processing an abnormality on the basis of an output from the level judging means, whereby an abnormality in the electromagnetic shielding performance is detected on the basis of the intensity level of a detected radio wave intruding into the building from the outside. When the electromagnetic shielding performance has deteriorated, external radio waves such as broadcast waves, telecast waves, etc. intrude into the building. Therefore, any of these radio waves is constantly monitored by the radio wave detecting means inside the building. Thus, when the electromagnetic shielding performance has considerably deteriorated, the abnormality can be detected by judging the level of the detected radio wave with the level judging means.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 163 words
A system for detecting and processing an abnormality in electromagnetic shielding for use in an intelligent building which is constructed using an electromagnetic shielding material for the skeleton and openings such as windows and doorways so that the whole of the building is formed into an electromagnetic shielding structure in order to carry out radio communication inside said building, said system comprising: radio wave detecting means for detecting an external radio wave inside said building; level judging means for judging the level of an external radio wave detected by said radio wave detecting means; and processing means for detecting and processing an abnormality on the basis of an output from said level judging means, whereby an abnormality in the electromagnetic shielding performance is detected on the basis of the intensity level of a detected radio wave intruding into said building from the outside wherein said processing means lowers the output of a radio wave for communication inside said building at an abnormal floor.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 163 words
A system for detecting and processing an abnormality in electromagnetic shielding for use in an intelligent building which is constructed using an electromagnetic shielding material for the skeleton and openings such as windows and doorways so that the whole of the building is formed into an electromagnetic shielding structure in order to carry out radio communication inside said building, said system comprising: radio wave detecting means for detecting an external radio wave inside said building; level judging means for judging the level of an external radio wave detected by said radio wave detecting means; and processing means for detecting and processing an abnormality on the basis of an output from said level judging means, whereby an abnormality in the electromagnetic shielding performance is detected on the basis of the intensity level of a detected radio wave intruding into said building from the outside wherein said processing means lowers the output of a radio wave for communication inside said building at an abnormal floor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 30 words
A system for detecting and processing an abnormality in electromagnetic shielding according to claim 1, wherein said radio wave detecting means is diposed on every floor and in every direction.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 59 words
A system for detecting and processing an abnormality in electromagnetic shielding according to claim 1, wherein said level judging means judges the electromagnetic shielding performance to be abnormal on the basis of the fact that the level of a detected external radio wave exceeds a normal value, and identifies an abnormal floor by the radio wave detecting means concerned.
