The information indicating the construction machine is stored in association with the IP address 110 because the data including the IP address is stored when the server device 10 is accessed from the terminal device of the construction machine. Although transmitted, when the terminal device other than the terminal device provided in the construction machine wants the server device 10 to provide the service to the construction machine, the data including the IP address of the construction machine is transmitted. This is because the IP address cannot be specified with the information indicating the construction machine.

In order for the server device 10 to provide a service,
Broadly, there are the following three patterns (1), (2), and (3).

(1) A person such as a worker or an operator operates a terminal device or a mobile phone to designate a specific construction machine,
A pattern in which a predetermined service is provided from the server device 10 to the specific construction machine when the server device 10 is accessed via the Internet 1.

(2) A specific construction machine is connected to the Internet 1
A pattern in which a predetermined service is provided from the server device 10 to the construction machine when the server device 10 is accessed via the.

(3) The specific construction machine is the Internet 1
When the server device 10 is accessed via the server, an order service such as requesting a predetermined service (product) from the server device 10 to the outside is provided instead of the owner (driver) of the specific construction machine. Pattern to do.

The pattern (2) and the pattern (3) are common in that a predetermined service is provided from the server device 10 by accessing the server device 10 from a specific construction machine. ing.

Next, the service provision of the pattern (1) by the server device 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

Here, it is assumed that the terminal device 20 of the construction machine 21 is designated from the terminal device 40 of the office 41.

First, the operator of the office 41 operates the terminal device 40 to input information such as an ID (identification information) and a password for accessing the server device 10, and if the user is authenticated, Information indicating the construction machine 21, for example, information such as a preset identification number or vehicle number for identifying the construction machine 21 is input, and a command for operating the predetermined function is input to the construction machine 21 (step). S101, S102).

In the server device 10, the specific ID received
User authentication based on the password and the password.
Is a valid user, it is determined whether or not information (identification number or vehicle number) indicating the construction machine 21 is stored in the database 100. If it is determined that the information is stored, the designated After transmitting start-up data indicating the activation of the construction machine to the terminal device 20 of the construction machine 21, the terminal device 40 transmits data indicating an instruction to activate a predetermined function.

As described above, the server device 10 authenticates the user as a valid user, and furthermore, the construction machine 21
Is transmitted to the terminal device 20 of the construction machine 21 on condition that the IP address is registered in correspondence with the information indicating the unauthorized access. And no one can start the engine of the construction machine 21.

In the construction machine 21, as an initial state, the power of the portable information terminal as the terminal device 20 is on,
In addition, the main power supply of the construction machine 21 and the power supply of the main controller 215 are turned off.

The initial state is set as follows.
Turn off the power of the construction machine 21 and the power of the main controller.
N may be set so that the engine can be started at any time. However, since power consumption (current consumption) during the waiting period is wasted, Wake ON of the terminal device 20 (portable information terminal) is performed. This is to utilize the (wake-on) ring function.

When the terminal device 20 (portable information terminal) receives the start-up data from the server device 10 (step S201), when a packet arrives, the terminal device 20 (portable information terminal) transmits a signal transmitted to the CI line of the RS232C as the communication interface 220 when a packet arrives. The state repeats a high level and a low level (on-off is repeated). Therefore, the terminal device 20 (portable information terminal) detects the rise of the signal transmitted to the CI line of the RS232C, and turns off the main power of the construction machine 21 and the power of the main controller 215 in synchronization with the rise of this signal. From ON to ON (step S202).

That is, the above steps S201 and S20
In the process of 2, the Wak of the terminal device 20 (portable information terminal)
e Uses the ON (wake on) ring function.
For this reason, the consumption of the battery of the construction machine 21 can be suppressed (prevented).

Thus, the received data such as the received mail received by the terminal device 20 (portable information terminal) can be received by the main controller 215, and the transmission data such as the transmitted mail from the main controller 215 can be received by the terminal device 20. It becomes possible to transmit to the Internet 1 via (portable information terminal).

When the power is turned on, the main controller 215 determines whether or not a mail has been received via the terminal device 20 and the transmission / reception unit 214 (step S203). Then, the contents of the received mail are recognized (step S204), and a command for operating a predetermined function of the construction machine is transmitted to a predetermined controller based on the recognized contents of the mail (step S205).

For example, the main controller 215
When the command for operating the predetermined function indicates that the engine is to be started, a signal indicating that the engine is started is transmitted to the engine controller. Thus, the engine start is performed in the same procedure as the conventional remote start.

Next, the main controller 215 determines whether or not the engine has started based on sensor detection signals such as engine speed, oil temperature, oil pressure, etc., which respond at the engine start from the engine monitoring controller ( Step S206), for example, on condition that the number of revolutions of the engine has reached a predetermined number of revolutions, it is recognized that the engine has started normally, and that fact is transmitted to the terminal device 40 that has requested remote engine start. (Step S2
07).

Then, the mail indicating that the engine has started normally is received by the terminal device 40 of the office 41 via the terminal device 20 and the Internet 1 (step S103).

Incidentally, the contents of the mail transmitted from the terminal device 40 to the terminal device 20 may be set in advance as shown in FIG. 6 in order to reduce the traffic. Then, when the user of the office 41 selects, for example, “1: engine start”, the mail content shown in FIG. 6 and information indicating that “1: engine start” is selected is transmitted as a transmission mail to the construction machine 21. It is transmitted to the terminal device 20.

In the above-described embodiment, the server device 10 transmits the start data indicating the activation of the construction machine to the terminal device 20 of the designated construction machine 21, and then transmits the data to the terminal device 4.
Although data indicating a command to activate a predetermined function from 0 is transmitted, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be as follows.

That is, for example, outside the construction machine 21,
An ultrasonic sensor for detecting a person or a television camera for imaging a person is provided.

After the main power supply of the construction machine 21 and the power supply of the main controller 215 are changed from OFF to ON based on the start-up data, the main controller 215 returns the detection result by the ultrasonic sensor or the TV camera. Is transmitted to the server device 10.

The server device 10 confirms that there are no people around the construction machine 21 based on the detection result by the ultrasonic sensor or the image information from the television camera. May be transmitted to (the terminal device 20 of) the construction machine 21. After that, the processing after step S203 of the processing procedure in FIG. 5 is performed. In addition,
When there is a person around the construction machine 21, the server device 10
Sends an e-mail to the terminal device 40 of the office 41 to that effect.

In the above-described embodiment, the command for activating the predetermined function is executed by mail. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be as follows.

That is, in the server device 10,
(World Wide Web) A server is constructed so that a web screen is displayed on the display unit 202 of the terminal device 40 of the office 41 when the server device 10 is accessed from the terminal device 40 of the office 41. .

Here, an example of the Web screen contents (user interface) displayed on the display unit 202 of the terminal device 40 is shown in FIG. 7. The Web screen contents 230 include three items 231 of engine, air conditioner, and inspection. 232, 23
The engine item 231 is a start button 231 for selecting an engine start function.
