Next, the operation of the information center apparatus 4 will be described with reference to fig. 9.
Fig. 9 is a flowchart for explaining an outline of an operation of an information center device as a point detection instruction device of the movement support device in embodiment 1.
In step S51, the information center apparatus 4 receives information indicating that an abnormality has occurred in the elevator 1 from the elevator monitoring apparatus 1 k. Then, the information center apparatus 4 performs the operation of step S52. In step S52, the information center apparatus 4 transmits information indicating that the information indicating the occurrence of the abnormality is received and an operation command for confirming the abnormal condition of the elevator 1 based on the abnormal condition to the robot 5.
Then, the information center apparatus 4 performs the operation of step S53.

Then, the information center apparatus 4 ends the operation.
The maintenance person grasps the abnormality by displaying information indicating the result of confirmation of the abnormal condition of the elevator 1 on the portable terminal. When the maintenance person needs to cope with the abnormality, the abnormality is eliminated. As a result, the elevator 1 is recovered.
According to embodiment 1 described above, the information center device 4 determines the status of the mobility assistance device based on the information indicating the result of confirmation of the status of the elevator 1 or the like from the robot 5. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a maintenance worker from accessing the site uselessly without installing a new sensor in the elevator 1 or the like.
In this case, the robot 5 does not need to directly cooperate with the elevator 1 or the like. Therefore, the inspection of the elevator 1 and the like can be performed using the inexpensive robot 5 having a limited performance.
In addition, the maintenance staff can determine the availability of the treatment based on the quantitative data. Therefore, the handling in the case where the maintenance worker moves can be speeded up. As a result, the recovery of the elevator 1 and the like can be accelerated.
In addition, when the user or manager of the elevator 1 can deal with this, it is not necessary to move a maintenance person. In this case, the recovery of the elevator 1 and the like can be further accelerated.
The information center apparatus 4 transmits an operation command to the elevator 1 and the like as well as the operation command to the robot 5. Therefore, the elevator 1 and the like can be appropriately checked according to the contents of the abnormality. In particular, in the elevator 1, the robot 5 may be mounted on the car 1f in order to check an abnormality. In this case, the robot 5 can be smoothly moved into the car 1f.
In addition, when the car 1f is stopped and cannot be used and the robot 5 is disposed at a floor different from the stop floor of the car 1f, the information center device 4 may transmit information of a command to move to the stop floor of the car 1f by the escalator 2 to the robot 5. In this case, the condition of the elevator 1 can be appropriately determined.
In addition, when the car 1f is stopped and cannot be used, the robot 5 is disposed at a floor different from the stop floor of the car 1f, and there is no means for moving the robot 5 to the stop floor of the car 1f, the information center device 4 may determine that a response by a maintenance person is necessary. In this case, the recovery of the elevator 1 can be further accelerated.
In the case where there is a telephone contact from a building manager or the like to notify abnormality of the elevator 1 or the like, the information center apparatus 4 may transmit information of an operation command to the elevator 1 or the like and the robot 5. In this case, useless access to the site by the maintenance personnel can be suppressed.
The point inspection instruction device of embodiment 1 can also be applied to an elevator 1 that does not have a machine room 1b and is provided with a hoisting machine 1d, an elevator control device 1j, and an elevator monitoring device 1k on the upper or lower part of a hoistway 1 a. In this case, useless access to the site by the maintenance personnel can be suppressed.
Next, an example of the information center apparatus 4 will be described with reference to fig. 10.
Fig. 10 is a hardware configuration diagram of an information center device as a point inspection instruction device of the movement support device in embodiment 1.
Each function of the information center apparatus 4 can be realized by a processing circuit. For example, the processing circuit has at least one processor 100a and at least one memory 100b. For example, the processing circuit has at least one dedicated hardware 200.
In the case where the processing circuit has at least one processor 100a and at least one memory 100b, each function of the information center apparatus 4 is realized by software, firmware, or a combination of software and firmware. At least one of the software and the firmware is written as a program. At least one of software and firmware is stored in the at least one memory 100b. The at least one processor 100a reads out and executes the program stored in the at least one memory 100b, thereby realizing each function of the information center apparatus 4. The at least one processor 100a is also referred to as a central processing unit, a processing unit, an arithmetic unit, a microprocessor, a microcomputer, or a DSP. For example, the at least one memory 100b is a nonvolatile or volatile semiconductor memory such as a RAM, a ROM, a flash memory, an EPROM, an EEPROM, a magnetic disk, a flexible disk, an optical disk, a compact disk, a mini disk, a DVD, or the like.
In case the processing circuit has at least one dedicated hardware 200, the processing circuit is for example realized by a single circuit, a complex circuit, a programmed processor, a parallel programmed processor, an ASIC, an FPGA or a combination thereof. For example, each function of the pointing device is realized by a processing circuit. For example, the functions of the information center apparatus 4 are collectively realized by a processing circuit.
The functions of the information center apparatus 4 may be implemented partially by dedicated hardware 200 and partially by software or firmware. For example, the function of the control determination unit 4c may be realized by a processing circuit as dedicated hardware 200, and the at least one processor 100a may realize a function other than the function of the control determination unit 4c by reading and executing a program stored in the at least one memory 100b.
In this way, the processing circuit realizes each function of the information center apparatus 4 by hardware 200, software, firmware, or a combination thereof.
Although not shown, the respective functions of the control device may be realized by the same processing circuit as the processing circuit that realizes the respective functions of the information center device 4. The functions of the monitoring device may be realized by the same processing circuit as the processing circuit that realizes the functions of the information center device 4.
