DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a building equipment monitoring and control system according to the present invention.
Is a wireless terminal such as a mobile phone or a personal handy phone system (hereinafter, referred to as PHS) connected to the mobile terminal 2, and has a function of transmitting a telephone number as an identification (ID) number and control information of a building facility. I do.
The control information of the building equipment can be output from the mobile terminal 2. Reference numeral 3 denotes a plurality of radio base stations each having a fixed radio zone, and these are connected to a private branch exchange (PBX) 4 via connection lines. Reference numeral 5 denotes a building equipment control device connected to the private branch exchange 4 via a communication interface 6.

The building equipment control device 5 has a telephone number table as a number table for collating with a telephone number as an ID number from the wireless terminal, and when these two telephone numbers match, It returns a callback signal to the wireless terminal 1, establishes communication connection with the wireless terminal 1, and functions to receive the control information from the wireless terminal 1. The telephone number in the telephone number table is, for example, the telephone number of a specific person who is permitted to change the control information of the building equipment. The control information according to the present embodiment includes the call of an elevator cage and the setting and cancellation of a VIP operation in the elevator equipment 8a as a building equipment monitoring target, and the air conditioning equipment 8b such as a conference room or an event hall.
Operation and shutdown, indoor temperature and humidity settings, and sanitary facilities 8
There is information on the activation and deactivation of c, and these can be input by operating the keyboard of the mobile terminal 2 or operating the keys of the wireless terminal 1.

Reference numerals 7a, 7b, and 7c denote a plurality of (here, three) sub-control units connected to the building equipment control device 5, which are distributed from the building equipment control device 5. The control information is selectively received, and functions to control the operation of building equipment as monitoring targets, for example, elevator equipment (electric equipment) 8a, air conditioning equipment 8b, and sanitary equipment 8c.

The building equipment control device 5 is configured as shown in FIG. In FIG.
A transmission / reception unit for transmitting / receiving signals to / from the communication interface 6 shown in FIG. 5 is a signal analysis unit for analyzing the transmission / reception signals.
If the analysis result is a connection request, the telephone number table 5
c is compared (compared) with the received telephone number, and if they match, the received telephone number is transmitted to the response transmitting unit 5d, while if it is control information, these are transmitted to the control unit 5e. Function. Further, the response transmission unit 5d calls back the telephone number received from the signal analysis unit 5b, and transmits a message when the operator inputs control information. The control unit 5e generates a control command corresponding to the control information received from the signal analysis unit 5b,
This functions to output this to each of the sub-control units 7a to 7c via the control signal output unit 5f.

Next, an example of the operation will be described with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS. First, when calling the elevator cage, when setting or canceling the VIP operation for a specific elevator cage which has been designated to be VIP-operable in advance, or when the air conditioner 8b such as a conference room or an event hall is used.
When starting / stopping the system or setting / changing the indoor temperature / humidity, the wireless terminal 1 sends the building equipment control device 5
Is called (step S1). For this reason, in the building equipment control apparatus 5, the signal analysis unit 5b immediately accesses the telephone number table 5c (step S2), and compares the received telephone number with the number registered in the telephone number table 5c (step S3). ), It is determined whether or not these telephone numbers match each other (step S4).

If the result of this determination is that they do not match, the processing from step S1 is repeated, while if they match, a callback signal of the verified telephone number is returned to the wireless terminal 1 (step S5). ). Therefore, a ringing tone is output to the wireless terminal 1 (step S6), and connection processing between the wireless terminal 1 and the building equipment control device 5 is performed (step S7). At this time, in the mobile terminal 2 or the wireless terminal 1, the control information processing program is automatically started (step S8), and the elevator facility 8a and the air conditioning facility 8 are operated.
b, The above-described control information on the sanitary facilities 8c is displayed on the display screen of the mobile terminal 2 or the wireless terminal 1 (Step S9).

The display is performed by a method capable of arbitrarily selecting, for example, control information on the elevator equipment 8a and / or the air-conditioning equipment 8b (step S10), and the mobile terminal 2 calls, for example, an elevator car and a VIP. When the icon indicating operation or stop is clicked with the mouse (step S11), or when the icon indicating operation or stop of the air conditioner 8b is clicked (step S12), the control information is stored in the building equipment controller. 5 is received by the signal analyzing unit 5b, and the control processing program in the building equipment control device 5 is started (step S13). The mobile terminal 2
In response to the click operation in the above, the mobile terminal 2 calls the elevator cage and VIP as control information.
The operation and stop information and the operation and stop information of the air conditioner 8b are output (steps S14 and S15), and are output to the signal analyzer 5b via the private branch exchange 4 and the transceiver 5a.
(Step S16). At this time, when the operator issues a control permission on the building equipment control device 5 side, the building equipment control device 5
Each control information is distributed to the elevator equipment 8a and the air-conditioning equipment 8b via a and 7b (step S17), so that control such as operation and stop can be performed (step S18). Mobile terminal 2
, Information indicating that the control such as the operation and stop is permitted is transmitted. When the wireless terminal 1 receives the information (steps S19 and S20), the communication established between the wireless terminal 1 and the building equipment control device 5 is disconnected (step S21), and the monitoring control is performed. The process ends.

In the above-described embodiment, the mobile terminal 2 is not always required, and for example, the PHS
The control information can be transmitted using only the wireless terminal 1. In this case, the response transmitting unit 5d transmits a message to the wireless terminal 1 by voice, and in response to this, the operator specifies the control information using the dial buttons of the wireless terminal 1 and transmits the control information. Also, the wireless terminal 1 does not need to be a terminal of a telephone subscriber line,
It is optional to use a wireless device having a D number as a wireless terminal.

A program for implementing the steps shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the program recorded on the recording medium is read by a computer system and executed. A building facility monitoring control process may be performed. Here, the “computer system” includes an OS and hardware such as peripheral devices. The “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a portable medium such as a floppy disk, a magneto-optical disk, a ROM, a CD-ROM, and a storage device such as a hard disk built in a computer system.

A "computer-readable recording medium" is a program that is dynamically transmitted for a short period of time, such as a communication line for transmitting a program via a network such as the Internet or a communication line such as a telephone line. In this case, a program that holds a program for a certain period of time, such as a volatile memory in a computer system serving as a server or a client in that case, is also included. Further, the program may be for realizing a part of the functions described above, or may be for realizing the functions described above in combination with a program already recorded in the computer system.
