FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram including a building monitoring system according to one embodiment.

The building monitoring system includes a monitoring terminal 12 and a monitoring server 21 connected to the monitoring terminal 12 via a dedicated communication line 3 . The monitoring terminal 12 is installed in the building 1, for example. The monitoring server 21 is installed, for example, in the elevator monitoring center 2 that monitors elevators.

The monitoring terminal 12 monitors the status of the elevator 111 in the building 1 and one or more building facilities 112 that require remote monitoring. In this embodiment, as building equipment other than the elevator 111, there are A equipment 112A (for example, air conditioning equipment) and B equipment 112B (for example, electrical equipment). When a failure state is detected, the monitoring terminal 12 transmits failure information indicating the failure state to the monitoring server 21 in the elevator monitoring center 2 via the dedicated communication line 3 . The failure information includes, for example, information (for example, facility name) indicating the facility in which the failure state is occurring (elevator 111 or any other building facility 112) and information indicating details of the failure state. A dedicated communication line 3 is a dedicated line for communication between the monitoring terminal 12 and the monitoring server 21 .

In addition, a condition setting terminal 13 for setting, in the monitoring terminal 12, a failure condition, which is a facility state condition corresponding to a failure state, for at least each building facility 112 out of the elevator 111 and each building facility 112 can communicate with the monitoring terminal 12. connected to The condition setting terminal 13 is typically a computer (for example, a notebook or tablet personal computer, a smart phone, etc.).

The elevator monitoring center 2 receives the failure information transmitted from the monitoring terminal 12 at the monitoring server 21 via the dedicated communication line 3 .

One or more other company's monitoring systems 5 corresponding to the building equipment 112 other than the elevator 111 are connected to the monitoring server 21 via a general-purpose communication line 4 (an example of a communication line different from the dedicated communication line 3). In this embodiment, as the other companies' monitoring system 5, there are an A company monitoring system 5A and a B company monitoring system 5B. That is, Company A and Company B are other companies. Also, the general-purpose communication line 4 is connected to the other company's monitoring system 5, and the general-purpose communication line 4 may include, for example, at least one of an Internet line, a telephone line, and other communication lines.

In the monitoring server 21, an in-house monitoring system 22 in the elevator monitoring center 2 and a contract management server 23 are connected to an in-house network 24 for communication between the monitoring server 21, the in-house monitoring system 22, and the contract management server 23. connected through In-house monitoring system 22 is a monitoring system that monitors the elevator. The contract management server 23 is a server that manages a monitoring contract table, which will be described later.

When the failure state indicated by the failure information has occurred in any of the building equipment 112, the monitoring server 21 specifies the notification method corresponding to the other company's monitoring system 5 for the other company's monitoring system 5 corresponding to the building equipment 112. , a report (for example, the failure information itself) according to the failure information is transmitted to the other company's monitoring system 5 according to the specified reporting method. A monitoring contract table managed by the contract management server 23 (for example, a monitoring contract set in the monitoring server 21 from the contract management server 23) indicates which monitoring system corresponds to the building equipment 112 in the failure state as a report destination. table), or may be specified by the monitoring terminal 12 based on a monitoring contract table set in the monitoring terminal 12 from the monitoring server 21 via the dedicated communication line 3.

In this embodiment, at least one of the "monitoring server", "contract management server", "in-house monitoring system", and "other company's monitoring system" is realized based on a computer system composed of one or more physical computers. be done. A physical computer may be a general purpose computer or a special purpose computer. A computer system has hardware resources such as an interface unit, a storage unit, and a processor unit connected thereto as computational resources. At least one of the "monitoring server", "contract management server", "in-house monitoring system" and "other company's monitoring system" may be at least one physical computer, or one or more virtual computers (e.g. VM (Virtual Machine)), a server or system realized on a cloud infrastructure as an example of a computer system, or an SDx (Software-Defined anything).

According to this embodiment, the environment for monitoring the elevator 111 (specifically, the monitoring terminal 12 that receives and transmits the status information indicating the equipment status of the elevator 111 in the building 1, and the status information An environment in which a plurality of different companies exist as entities that remotely monitor facilities in one building 1 using a monitoring server 21) that receives data from a monitoring terminal 12 via a dedicated communication line 3 and is connected to its own monitoring system. Efficient building monitoring is realized in

First, the monitoring terminal 12 receives status information indicating the status of each building facility 112 other than the elevator 111 as well. As a result, it is not necessary to install a monitoring terminal for each building facility 112 to be monitored by another company.

The monitoring terminal 12 also determines whether or not each building facility 112 other than the elevator 111 is in a failure state. Send to The determination as to whether or not the equipment is in a failure state may be made by the monitoring server 21 (that is, regardless of whether the equipment is in a failure state or not, the equipment information is sent to the monitoring server 21 each time the equipment information is acquired. However, the amount of information transmitted from the monitoring terminal 12 is reduced by being performed at the monitoring terminal 12 (for example, equipment information indicating a normal equipment state is not transmitted). Therefore, the amount of information flowing through the dedicated communication line 3 can be reduced.

In this case, it is conceivable to connect the general-purpose communication line 4 to the monitoring terminal 12 and transmit a notification according to the failure information from the monitoring terminal 12 to the other company's monitoring system 5. A system (for example, a system that depends on at least one of a communication protocol and a communication line) must be provided in the monitoring terminal 12 . Therefore, the burden on the monitoring terminal 12 and the maintenance cost increase.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the failure information about the building equipment 112 is also sent to the monitoring server 21 in the same manner as the failure information about the elevator 111 (that is, via the dedicated communication line 3). This makes it possible to avoid providing the monitoring terminal 12 with a reporting method for each other company's monitoring system 5 .

Specifically, a general-purpose communication line 4 to which each company's monitoring system 5 is connected is connected to a monitoring server 21 that communicates with a plurality of monitoring terminals 12 corresponding to a plurality of buildings 1 via a dedicated communication line 3. . For each of one or more monitoring systems as report destinations corresponding to equipment in which the failure state has occurred, the monitoring server 21 stores a reporting method corresponding to the monitoring system, for example, in a reporting method table described later (for each monitoring system (a table indicating reporting methods), and in the specified reporting method, a report according to the failure information is transmitted to the monitoring system of the reporting destination.

A monitoring system as a report destination corresponding to the building equipment 112 in which the failure state has occurred is specified by the monitoring server 21 or the monitoring terminal 12 based on the monitoring contract table. The relationship between the facility and the company monitoring the facility depends on a contract for the monitoring of Building 1 (e.g., a contract entered into by a customer, such as the owner of Building 1), and based on information about the contract, the facility and the reporting company. A monitoring contract table showing the corresponding relationship is created, and by referring to such a monitoring contract table, it is possible to specify a monitoring system as a report destination corresponding to the building equipment 112 in which the failure state has occurred.

Examples 1 to 3 will be described below as specific examples of the building monitoring system according to the present embodiment.

In Example 1, the monitoring terminal 12 identifies the report destination.

The report management unit 213 manages a report method table 2131 that indicates correspondence between report destinations and report methods. According to the illustrated example, the reporting scheme depends on at least one of the protocol and the communication line, but other types of elements (e.g., reporting procedures) may be used instead of or in addition to the protocol and/or the communication line. may depend. The contract information also includes information on the reporting method for each reporting destination, and the reporting method table 2131 may be created and stored in addition to the monitoring contract table 2321 from the information on the contract.

The contract management server 23 of the elevator monitoring center 2 also includes a contract input section 231 (for example, a user interface for inputting information on contracts) and a contract management section 232 . Information related to the contract (for example, the contract including the relationship between the equipment and the report destination) for the elevator 111 and each building equipment 112 is input by the contract input unit 231, and created by the contract management unit 232 based on the input information. A monitoring contract table 2321 is stored.

Further, when the monitoring contract table 2321 is stored in the contract management server 23, the contract management unit 232 of the contract management server 23 and the contract linking unit 212 of the monitoring server 21 cooperate with each other so that the monitoring contract table 2321 can be stored in the contract management server. 23 is linked (stored) in the monitoring server 21 . Furthermore, when starting monitoring of the building, the monitoring contract table 2321 is transmitted from the monitoring server 21 to the monitoring terminal 12 via the dedicated communication line 3 by the terminal transmission section 211 .

Also, when a failure occurs in the elevator 111 or one of the building facilities 112, the terminal receiving unit 214 receives failure information including information indicating the report destination from the monitoring terminal 12, and reports and transmits the failure information. 215. The report transmission unit 215 identifies the report method corresponding to the report destination indicated by the failure information from the report method table 2131 of the report management unit 213, and sends a report according to the failure information via the in-house network 24 according to the report method. It decides whether to transmit to the self-monitoring system 22 or transmit to the other company's monitoring system 5 via the general-purpose communication line 4 . In other words, the notification transmission unit 215 transmits the notification according to the failure information to the monitoring system 22 or 5 as the notification destination indicated by the failure information, according to the specified notification method.

FIG. 3 shows details of the monitoring terminal 12 according to the first embodiment.

The monitoring terminal 12 also includes a condition receiving unit 122 that receives failure conditions for the elevator 111 and each building facility 112 from the condition setting terminal 13 . The condition receiving unit 122 generates a failure condition table 1221 indicating failure conditions for the elevator 111 and each building equipment 112 and stores the failure condition table 1221 in the monitoring terminal 12 .

In addition, each time the monitoring terminal 12 receives facility information indicating the facility status from the elevator 111 or each building facility 112, it monitors whether the facility status indicated by the facility information matches the failure status in accordance with the failure condition table 1221. It is provided with a failure monitoring unit 123 and a notification control unit 124 that specifies, from the monitoring contract table 1211, a notification destination corresponding to the equipment in the failure state when the failure state is specified.

Furthermore, the monitoring terminal 12 has a center transmission section 125 . The center transmission unit 125 transmits the failure information including the information indicating the destination specified by the notification control unit 124 to the failure information determined as a failure by the failure monitoring unit 123 via the dedicated communication line. 3 to the terminal receiver 214 of the elevator monitoring center 2 .
