Time "to as), etc., as described above, said corresponding B - Khalsa - server 41, via the · · · 4n, the overall service - comes into play 6 - Eat - is stored as scan 61.

  An example of the lighting information data table 611 such as the lighting notification signal and the lighting notification reception time stored in the central server 6 is shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the lighting information such as the lighting notification signal and the lighting notification reception time is indicated by the lighting lamps 1A11, 1A12, 1A13,... 1An1, 1An2, 1An3, 1B11, 1B12,. ... saved for each 1Bn1 and 1Bn2. In the example of FIG. 3, in addition to the lighting state information and the lighting information reception time, the startup time for each of the lighting lamps (that is, the time from turning on the power and turning on the power to the time of turning on, or the complete discharge from the glow discharge) And the expected life for each of the lighting lamps is stored. In the example of FIG. 3, the lighting information reception time and the activation time are described as “lighting time measurement data”.

  The expected life is determined and stored in the overall server 6 as follows. That is, a table corresponding to the expected start time life indicating the standard relationship between the start time and the expected life is stored in the integrated server 6 in advance, and the lamps 1A11, 1A12, 1A13,. 1 An 1, 1 An 2, 1 An 3, 1 B 11, 1 B 12,... 1 Bn 1, 1 Bn 2 are compared with the actual start time corresponding to the expected start time corresponding to the actual start time. From the expected lifetime in the table corresponding to the startup time expected lifetime corresponding to the startup time in the table, the lighting lamps 1A11, 1A12, 1A13,... 1An1, 1An2, 1An3, 1B11, 1B12,. The overall server 6 determines that the expected lifetimes of 1Bn1 and 1Bn2 are stored, and the data is stored in the database 61.

  Note that, for example, an expected life of an illuminating lamp that is always continuously lit, such as an illuminating lamp in a tunnel, is a table corresponding to an expected continuation time that indicates a standard relationship between the continuous lighting time and the expected life. Is stored in the central server 6 in advance, and the actual continuous lighting time of each illumination lamp in the tunnel is compared with the table corresponding to the predicted continuous lighting time expected lifetime, and the actual continuous lighting time corresponds to the above-mentioned table. Based on the expected lifetime in the table corresponding to the continuous lighting time expected life corresponding to the continuous lighting time in the table corresponding to the expected lifetime corresponding to the continuous lighting time, the overall service is determined to be the expected lifetime of each lamp in the tunnel. It is determined in the bar 6 and stored in the database 61.

  Next, an example of a login operation from the monitoring device 7 when the lighting state information stored in the database 61 in the central server 6 is read from the monitoring device 7 as described above. This will be described with reference to FIG.

  Reading of the lighting state information stored in the database 61 from the monitoring device 7 includes, for example, a management department, a maintenance department, a manufacturer of illumination lamps, a manufacturer of a lighting state information collection system, It is preferable that the related parties such as the related person can individually perform the lighting state information corresponding to the related parties, and that only the related parties can access the lighting state information corresponding to the related parties in the database 61. .

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, a department list 612 in which administrative departments, maintenance departments, manufacturers, and the like that permit access are registered as user IDs when logging in from the monitoring device 7 is stored in the data list. Pre-stored in the table 61.

  In FIG. 4, when a management department, a maintenance department, a manufacturer, etc., to which access is permitted, access the database 61 of the overall server 6, first, the monitoring device 7 uses the user. The ID (for example, kanri-bumon, management, hosyu-bumon, maintenance, me-ka, manufacturer) and the password xxxxxxxx are input. This input is performed in each of the management department, the maintenance department, the manufacturer, and the like while viewing the login screen of the display screen 711 of the display device 71 in the monitoring device 7.

  When the login input is performed, the overall server 6 obtains the input user ID and displays the input password as shown in the processing flow in FIG. Confirmation is performed to authenticate the accessor who has made the input based on the user ID and password. If the integrated server 6 authenticates the accesser who entered the information, if the authentication is successful, the central server 6 confirms the department to which the accessor belongs from the department list 612, and the management permitted for the access. From the individual department target screen information required by the department, maintenance department, manufacturer, etc. (screen information that displays data such as individual format, tags, lighting status information, etc.) The department target screen information corresponding to the department to which the user belongs is provided to the display device 71 of the accessor.

  Specifically, the general server 6 displays the management department target screen information if the department to which the accessor belongs or the registered department of the monitoring device input by the accessor is the management department, and the maintenance department's screen information. In this case, maintenance department target screen information is provided, and in the case of the manufacturer, manufacturer target screen information is provided to the monitoring device 7 input by the accessor, and the display screen 711 of the display device 71 of the monitoring device 7 is provided. The screen information is displayed above.

  More specifically, when the department to which the accessor belongs or the registered department of the monitoring device 7 input by the accessor is, for example, a management department, the overall server 6 is connected to the monitoring device 7 with the management server 6. Provide lighting information of each illumination lamp installed on the road so that the display device 71 of the monitoring device 7 can check a list screen of illumination lamps that are lit and non-lit, for example, in the case of a maintenance department In the display device 71 of the monitoring device 7, the overall server 6 provides lighting information of each illumination light installed on the road and the expected life of each illumination light to the monitoring device 7. For example, in the case of a manufacturer, the integrated server 6 has failed with respect to the monitoring device 7 so that the lighting information for each lighting lamp, the list screen for expected life, and the lighting lamp replacement plan can be confirmed. Provides information such as the number of lights that need to be replaced In the display device 71 of the monitoring device 7, it is to be able to see the number of replacement is necessary illumination lamp on the list screen.

  Instead of using the user ID and password to authenticate the user (accessor) of the related department, biometric information such as fingerprints and irises may be used. In this case, the user ID and password are used. In addition to preventing unintentional third party access due to the leakage of information, the user (accessor) of the related department forgets the user ID and password, and the user trouble It is possible to save the trouble of inputting the ID and password, and it is possible to provide a system that is highly secure and easy to use for users (accessors) of related departments.

  Hereinafter, a list screen in the case of the management department, a list screen in the case of the maintenance department, and a list screen in the case of the manufacturer will be described step by step.

  On the screen of the management department display device 71, as the management department target screen, for example, as shown in the example of the whole management department display screen of FIG. 5A, the whole area (for example, sections # 1 to # 28). The lighting state is displayed, or, for example, the lighting state of the section (# 1) is displayed, for example, as shown in the section management department display screen example of FIG.

  For example, in the case of a large-scale system with a wide monitoring range such as an expressway or a railway, if the management department is a global management department, the global management department display screen of FIG. 5A is automatically displayed. When the management department is a section management department, the section management department display screen of FIG. 5B is automatically displayed by the login input.

  Conversely, for example, a small-scale system with a limited monitoring range such as a bridge, a high-rise building, a park managed by a local government, etc., and the management department does not distinguish between the whole area management section and the section management section In the management department, the entire management department display screen shown in FIG. 5A and the section management department display screen shown in FIG. 5B are selected and displayed. This selection display can also be performed in the case of a large-scale system with a wide monitoring range.

  In FIG. 5A, a lit indicator lamp is displayed as, for example, a white circle, and a non-lit indicator lamp is displayed as, for example, a black circle. In the case of a tunnel, for example, T is displayed in the section display, and in the case of an accident, for example, an asterisk is displayed in the section display. In addition, sections that need to be checked in detail, such as sections where there are illuminating lamps that have nearly the same lifetime, accident sections, etc., should be confirmed in a different color from sections that do not, for example yellow or red Are filled and flickered. In this case, it is more convenient if an enlarged display (detailed display) of the section, for example, the display of FIG.

  The sections # 1 to # 28 are arbitrarily determined according to management jurisdiction, maintenance jurisdiction, etc., and each section is provided with one or a plurality of local servers depending on the length of the section. In other words, the range where one of the local servers 41,..., 4n (see FIG. 1) is installed may be the section or a predetermined range within the section.

  For the maintenance department, for example, the maintenance department target data table 613, which is the basic data for the lamp replacement plan as shown in FIG. 6, is supplied to the overall server 6 (FIGS. 1 and 4). And stored in the database 61. As shown in FIG. 6, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the maintenance department target data table 613 is integrated with a predetermined formula for each of the lighting lamps 1A11, 1A12, 1A13,... 1An3, 1B11,. The specific expected lamp life calculated by the server 6 and updated one after another, lamp replacement cost, previous lamp replacement date, and the like are stored. The database 61 also stores replacement work attendance expenses 614.

  Although the maintenance department target data table 613 itself can be displayed on the screen of the maintenance department display device 71, as shown in FIG. A plan formulation engine 615 is installed, and the lamp replacement plan formulation engine 615 includes data such as the lighting information data table 611 (see FIG. 3) and the maintenance department target data table 613 (see FIG. 6). The lamp replacement plan 616 created based on the data can be displayed on the display device on the maintenance system 8 in the maintenance department. In FIG. 7, dotted arrows indicate the flow of information.

  On the screen of the manufacturer's display device 71, as the manufacturer target screen, for example, as shown in the example of the manufacturer display screen of FIG. The number of unlit lights and the number of remaining lives within 60 days are displayed. In addition, when the scale of the traffic road such as roads is small or in the case of buildings such as parks, bridges, buildings, etc., the display of the sections is not necessarily required, and the type of traffic roads, parks, buildings, etc. In some cases, it is only necessary to display the number of non-lighting lamps such as corresponding lamps and indicator lamps and the number of lamps having a predetermined remaining life.

  As described above, in the first embodiment of the present invention, a large number of illumination lamps 1A11, 1A12, 1A13,... 1An1, arranged on both sides A and B of the highway 2 at intervals. 1 An 2, 1 An 3, 1 B 11, 1 B 12,... 1 Bn 1, 1 Bn 2 are each provided with a light sensor and a relay transmission / reception function. 3A 1, 3 A 12, 3 A 13,... 3 An 1, 3 An 2, 3 An 3, 3 B 11, 3 B 12 , ... 3Bn1, 3Bn2 are provided, and each lighting state detection device transmits and receives wireless communication while relaying the lighting state information of the corresponding illumination lamp, and the local server 41, ... 4n collects the lighting state information of each illuminating lamp, and the local server 41,... 4n collects the lighting state information of each illuminating lamp via the network 5. Are collected and stored by the monitoring device 7, and the monitoring server 7 accesses the integrated server 6 to manage the lighting state of the lighting lamp in the management department and the maintenance of the lighting lamp in the maintenance department based on the lighting state information of the lighting lamp. Service, non-lighting number management, etc. at the manufacturer of the lamp can be performed. Therefore, the abnormality of the light that occurred immediately after the patrol officer's patrol cannot be detected until the next patrol, the inconvenience that the traveling of the patrol car may impede the traffic, the light that occurred immediately after the patrol car traveled The problem that the abnormality cannot be found until the next patrol car run can be solved, and from the stored contents of the central server 6, the lighting state of the lamp in the predetermined range, and the lighting state of the lamps in the plurality of the predetermined ranges, It becomes possible to monitor arbitrarily.

Is transmitted directly to the local servers 41,..., 4n installed on the roadside in the vicinity of the lighting state detection device, so that the communication of the lighting state detection device is performed. The distance can be short including transmission to the local servers 41,... 4n, and the lighting state detection device with a low power transmission function can be obtained. In other words, the power required for relay transmission / reception of each lighting state detection device can be kept small, and it is actually possible to use a small solar cell or a dry cell as a power source.

  Incidentally, since the interval of the lighting lamps on a Japanese highway is usually 40 m, when the first embodiment of the present invention is applied to a Japanese highway, the communication distance of each lighting state detection device does not reach 80 m, for example. If the local server is set within 50 m from the lighting state detection device that receives the transmission of the local server, each lighting state in wireless communication to the local server is set to about 50 m. If the communication distance of each lighting state detection device is set to, for example, about 50 m, which does not reach 80 m, the number of lighting state information received by each lighting state detection device is reduced and the communication load is reduced. The power required for relay transmission / reception of each lighting state detection device can be kept small, and it is actually possible to use a small solar cell or a dry cell as a power source.

  Further, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, as a server for obtaining and storing the lighting state detection result of the lighting state detection device, the lighting state detection results of a plurality of lighting state detection devices in a predetermined range are obtained and Since a plurality of local servers 41,..., 4n for storing the respective lighting lighting state detection results of a plurality of lighting state detecting devices in a predetermined range are used, for example, a large-scale traffic road or a plurality of park lights When there are multiple lamp management and maintenance departments in a monitored case, the management and maintenance of each local server should be the same as the lamp management and maintenance departments. It is possible to simplify management and maintenance work.

  Further, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, information necessary for each of the users in the related departments such as the management department, the maintenance department, the manufacturer, etc., can be obtained in real time and in any time. When exchanging lamps, etc., necessary information can be quickly and easily shared between related departments or between related departments, so that lamps can be exchanged efficiently and quickly. The lighting time can be shortened. In addition, since future ordering information (information such as the number of unlit lamps, lifespan, etc.) can be obtained in advance for the manufacturer, it is not necessary to carry in excess of inventory such as lamps, and appropriate inventory management can be performed. Production planning and delivery planning can be flexibly performed. In a related department, a general-purpose personal computer or a mobile phone can be used as the monitoring device 6 to obtain necessary information from an arbitrary place at an arbitrary time.

By installing one local server, power saving and cost reduction of each lighting state detection device are achieved.

  In FIG. 11, the lighting state detection devices 3A11, 3A12, 3A13,... 3A18 of the A side lamps 1A11, 1A12, 1A13,. Each of the lighting state detection devices 3B11, 3B12, 3B13,... 3B18 of 1B12, 1B13,... 1B18 is a lighting state of another lighting state detection device adjacent to the lighting state detection device 3 shown in FIG. A lighting state in which there is no function for receiving and relaying information, and the lighting state of the corresponding lamp is transmitted only to the local servers 41, 42, 43, and 44 that correspond to the corresponding local servers 41, 42, 43, and 44. A detection device is adopted.

  The local server 41 is installed at an intermediate point between the lighting state detection device 3B11 and the lighting state detection device 3B12 on the B side of the traffic path 2, and the opposite distance to the local server 41 is different. The lighting state information from the four lighting state detection devices 3A11, 3A12, 3B11, and 3B12 shorter than the distance from the local servers 42, 43, and 44 is received by wireless communication.

  The local server 42 is installed at an intermediate point between the lighting state detection device 3B13 and the lighting state detection device 3B14 on the B side of the traffic path 2, and the opposing distance to the local server 42 is different. The lighting state information from the four lighting state detection devices 3A13, 3A14, 3B13, 3B14 shorter than the distance to the local servers 41, 43, 44 is received by wireless communication.

The lighting state information from the four lighting state detection devices 3A17, 3A18, 3B17, and 3B18 shorter than the distance to the local servers 41, 42, and 43 is received by wireless communication.

  Although only four local servers up to the local server 44 are shown, the local servers are installed up to the local server 4n in an actual traffic route. Similarly, the light on the A side of the traffic path 2 goes to the light 1A1n, the light on the B side of the traffic path 2 goes to the light 1B1n, the lighting state detection device on the A side of the traffic path 2 goes to the lighting state detection device 3A1n, 2 B side lighting state detection devices are also installed up to the lighting state detection device 3B1n. Note that each n of the local server 4n, the lamp 1A1n, the lamp 1B1n, the lighting state detection device 3A1n, and the lighting state detection device 3B1n is an arbitrary natural number.

  For example, the distance between lamps 1A11, 1A12, 1A13,... 1A18,... 1A1n, and the lamps 1B11, 1B12, 1B13, ... 1B18,.

Although it may not be possible to easily connect to the network 5 by wire, a relay device is provided at a position where it can be easily connected to the network 5 by wire, and wirelessly transmitted from the local server to the relay device. The stored information may be transmitted by communication.

Embodiment 5 FIG.
Embodiment 5 of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 12 showing an example of a lighting state monitoring method and a lighting state information collecting system according to Embodiment 5 of the present invention. In FIG. 12, the same or corresponding parts as those in the first to fourth embodiments of the present invention are given the same reference numerals. The description of the fifth embodiment of the present invention will mainly focus on differences from the first to fourth embodiments of the present invention described above.

  In the above-described fourth embodiment of the present invention, each lighting state detection device 3A11, 3A12, 3A13,... 3A18,... 3A1n, 3B11, 3B12, 3B13,. Although the case where only 3B1n has the function of transmitting its own lighting state information is illustrated, in the fifth embodiment of the present invention, each lighting state detection device 3A12, 3A13,... 3A18,. 3B12, 3B13,... 3B18,... 3B1n have the function of receiving and relaying the lighting state information of other lighting state detection devices in the same manner as the lighting state detection device 3 shown in FIG. Moreover, unlike the above-described first to fourth embodiments of the present invention, each lighting state detection device 3A11, 3A12, 3A13,... 3A18, 3B11, 3B12, 3B13,. The 17, Russia - Khalsa - wireless constituting the communication path to the server 41 networks - are adopted autonomously ability to build click.

  Each of the lighting state detection devices 3A11, 3A12, 3A13, ... 3A18, 3B11, 3B12, 3B13, ... 3B17 autonomously has a wireless network constituting a communication path to the local server 41. 2 is provided in the communication unit 33 in FIG. 2 described above, and can be realized, for example, by using a wireless network whose specifications are defined in IEEE 802.15.4.

  The wireless network whose specification is defined in the IEEE 802.15.4 is well known, and its function will be briefly described below.

In the wireless network whose specifications are defined in the IEEE 802.15.4, each terminal connected to the wireless network makes an inquiry to all the nearby terminals existing within the communication distance by wireless communication. It obtains its own address so that it does not overlap between terminals due to responses from neighboring terminals. When data is transmitted from the terminal, the transmission destination address is designated and wirelessly transmitted. When a terminal existing within the wireless communication distance of the transmitting terminal that has transmitted the data is a transmission destination, the address of the destination is specified and the data is directly transmitted to the transmission destination by wireless communication. On the other hand, when a terminal that does not exist within the wireless communication distance of the transmitting terminal is a transmission destination, data is transmitted via another terminal that exists within the wireless communication distance. In this case, the first transmission source terminal first transmits to a nearby terminal within the communication distance by wireless communication. Since the received nearby terminal is different from the destination of the received data, it is searched whether or not the corresponding destination is included from the nearby terminal information possessed by itself. If the corresponding destination is included, the received data is directly transferred to the destination terminal by wireless communication. If the corresponding destination is not included, the received data is transmitted to nearby terminals by wireless communication without changing the destination. By repeating the above operation, the data transmitted by the first transmission source terminal is delivered to the destination terminal while being relayed by the other terminal.
In the relay processing described above, each terminal learns the number of hops (the number of relays) until it reaches the destination terminal. When relaying a plurality of terminals until the data transmitted by a certain terminal reaches the target destination terminal, there are a large number of paths. However, when selecting a path, the number of hops (the number of relays) is the largest. ) Select a route with less. A part of the data to be communicated has a routing information area. The first transmission source terminal sets the acquired own address information in the routing information area and transmits data by wireless communication. When the relay occurs, the relay terminal that performs the relay adds the acquired own address information to the routing information area in which the address information of the first transmission source terminal is set. By combining the routing information in this routing information area and the neighboring terminal information possessed by each terminal, an optimal communication path can be selected in the second and subsequent data communications.
Next, processing for updating the previously established optimum communication path will be described. When a relay terminal loses its function due to a failure or the like, a terminal that has transmitted to the relay terminal with the loss of function detects transmission error information from the relay terminal with the loss of function, and again transmits data to nearby terminals. -By retransmitting data, the optimum communication path is re-established as described above. On the other hand, when a new terminal is added, the added terminal makes an inquiry to a nearby terminal, so that each other existing terminal recognizes the added terminal and each of its neighboring terminals When the terminal information is updated and transmission data from the terminal is received, the optimum communication path is updated.
As described above, the wireless network whose specifications are defined in the IEEE 802.15.4 has a function of autonomously constructing a wireless network that constitutes a communication path to a target destination terminal. It is. Further, in the wireless network whose specifications are defined in the IEEE802.15.4, the communication distance of each terminal is limited to about 50 m, and its power consumption is very small. .

  Here, returning to the fifth embodiment of the present invention, each of the lighting state detecting devices 3A11, 3A12, 3A13,... 3A18, 3B11, 3B12, 3B13,. The bar 41 corresponds to a terminal in a wireless network whose specifications are defined in the aforementioned IEEE 802.15.4. That is, when the lighting state detection devices 3A11, 3A12, 3A13,... 3A18, 3B11, 3B12, 3B13,... 3B17 transmit the lighting state information by wireless communication, the lighting state detection devices 3A11, 3A12, 3A13 are transmitted. ,... 3A18, 3B11, 3B12, 3B13,... 3B17 themselves constitute a wireless network 3A11 → 8 → 3A12 → 8 → 3A13 → 8 → 3A14 that constitutes an optimal communication path to the local server 41. → 8 → 3A15 → 8 → 3A16 → 8 → 3A17 → 8 → 3A18 → 41 and 3B11 → 8 → 3B12 → 8 → 3B13 → 8 → 3B14 → 8 → 3B15 → 8 → 3B16 → 8 → 3B17 → 41 To build.

  FIG. 12 shows a state in which the wireless network that constitutes the optimum communication path to the local server 41 is autonomously constructed. In FIG. 12, for example, the lighting state information transmitted by the lighting state detection device 3A11 is the wireless network 3A11 → 8 → 3A12 → 8 → 3A13 → 8 → 3A14 → 8 of the optimum communication path constructed autonomously. → 3A15 → 8 → 3A16 → 8 → 3A17 → 8 → 3A18 → leads to the local server 41. For example, the lighting state information transmitted by the lighting state detection device 3A15 is the autonomously constructed information The local network 41 is reached by the wireless network 3A15 → 8 → 3A16 → 8 → 3A17 → 8 → 3A18 → of the optimal communication path. Similarly, the lighting state information transmitted by the lighting state detection device 3B11 is the wireless network 3B11 → 8 → 3B12 → 8 → 3B13 → 8 → 3B14 → 8 → 3B15 → of the optimum communication path constructed autonomously. 8 → 3B16 → 8 → 3B17 → leads to the local server 41. For example, the lighting state information transmitted by the lighting state detection device 3B15 is a wireless network of the optimal communication path constructed autonomously. 3B15 → 8 → 3B16 → 8 → 3B17 → to the local server 41.

  Further, when the fifth embodiment of the present invention is applied to the lighting state monitoring of an illumination lamp on a highway in Japan, the interval of the illumination lamp is usually 40 m. Therefore, the interval between the lighting state monitoring devices of each illumination lamp is 40 m.

For example, the lighting state information of the lamp “lit” is transmitted at a fixed period such as once a day, and the lighting state information of the lamp “non-lit” is transmitted when non-lighting is detected. The lighting status information is transmitted and the lamp is If the transmission mode is different from the transmission mode of normal lighting status information, the transmission cycle of the lighting status information when the lamp is normal should be longer than in the case of “always constant transmission mode”. Therefore, the communication load can be reduced, the power consumption of each lighting state detection device can be reduced, and the number of receptions of each of the local servers 41... 4n can be reduced. .
