Often you do not know the detailed address that has been. For this reason, the electric power company that was contacted by the inhabitants often spent a lot of time before identifying the address where the defective outdoor lights were located.

  Further, if the non-lighting is left at night, it is not desirable from the viewpoint of social security in the area where the outdoor light is installed. Further, if the daytime lighting is left unattended, valuable electric power is wasted, which is not desirable from an environmental point of view such as global warming.

  Regarding the above problems, for example, Patent Document 1 provides a module for monitoring the current flowing through the external light and the illuminance of the external light for each place where the external light is installed, and detects the break of the external light bulb, A system for providing an operator to an operator through a network is disclosed.

  Further, Patent Document 2 discloses an outside light management system that searches and displays information necessary for maintenance work such as the installation location and model of a desired outside light by linking outside light management data and map data. .

  In Patent Document 3, a sensor for detecting an abnormal lighting of an external light is added to an automatic flasher provided in each external light, and a radio is installed in each external light, and information output from the radio is provided. Is disclosed to the outside light management center via a communication network.

  Furthermore, a system including a lighting abnormality detection means, a data generation means including identification data of an outside lamp in which a lighting abnormality has occurred, and a transmission means for transmitting data generated by the data generation means via a power line (see Patent Document 4), Also disclosed is a lighting device monitoring system (see Patent Document 5) that automatically detects abnormalities in lighting equipment shared by outdoor lights and apartment buildings (see Patent Document 5), and a method for detecting and displaying a lighting failure in the daytime using a timer (see Patent Document 6). Has been.

However, there is no system, program, device, server, or method for confirming the lighting of the outside light that detects the non-lighting of the outside light at night or the daytime lighting based on the contract. In addition, it is important not only to be informed of an abnormality, but also to repair the external light in the contracted problem and return it to normal quickly. There is no specific means for this point.

  The management server 100 can be realized by installing a dedicated computer software program on a commercially available workstation. It can also be incorporated into existing distribution automation systems if there is room.

  The management server 100 includes a customer information management unit 120 that stores information relating to a customer who supplies power, a control unit 130, a display unit 140 that displays information, a storage unit 150, and an outdoor lamp lighting confirmation device 200 (n ), A billing means 170, and a clock means 180 capable of referring to the necessary time when the management server 100 requires a time. The customer information management unit 120 stores a contract outside lamp information storage unit 122.

  The control unit 130 includes sampling means 132 for acquiring information of the outdoor lamp lighting confirmation device 200 (n) at a time determined corresponding to the season / region via the communication unit 160 and the communication line 300, and lighting confirmation information of the outdoor lamp. , A determination means 133 for determining whether the outside lamp is abnormal or normal, a replacement time calculation means 134, and a maintenance commission fee calculation means 136. The control unit 130 can be realized by a software program related to the central processing unit.

  The storage unit 150 can be realized by a software program related to a hard disk, and stores a history data storage unit 152 that stores lighting confirmation results as history data in association with the time, and a predetermined time that varies depending on the season / region. Lighting confirmation time storage means 154.

  As shown in FIGS. 4, 5 (a) and 5 (b), the outdoor lamp lighting confirmation device 200 (n) is attached to the outdoor lamp 300 (n) for which a maintenance contract has been made. The external lamp 300 (n) is attached to the utility pole 310 (n). The utility pole 310 (n) is usually managed by being numbered by an electric power company. Therefore, the identification number of the outdoor lamp lighting confirmation device 200 (n) can be associated with the number of the utility pole. The outdoor lamp lighting confirmation device 200 (n) includes sunlight detection means 220 (n), outdoor light detection means 240 (n), identification symbol storage means 260 (n), and communication means 280 (n).

  Outside light detection means 240 (n) is attached to the cover 320 (n) of the outside light 300 (n). The outside light detection means 240 (n) is covered with a case that does not allow light to pass from the outside, and a hole 242 (n) is opened at the bottom. Also, the cover 320 (n) has a hole 322 (n) through which only the outside lamp light passes. Accordingly, the outside lamp light is received by the phototransistor 244 (n).

  Sunlight detection means 220 (n) is attached to the upper part of the outside light detection means 240 (n).

Further, when the contact 410 (n) is closed, the voltage appearing at both ends of the resistor R2 becomes zero, so that it can be utilized as the sunlight detecting means 220 (n).

  Next, the usage of the external light lighting confirmation system 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 2, the owner of the outdoor lamp is a local government such as a prefecture, a municipality, or a community association. An electric power company such as an electric power company concludes a maintenance contract with the owner of the outdoor light. Based on the maintenance contract, the power company or the like installs the outdoor lamp lighting confirmation device 200 (n) on the utility pole 310 (n). Moreover, the management server 100 provided with the means described above is also installed.

  An electric power company, etc., outsources repair and ball replacement (replacement of light sources such as light bulbs) to an outsourcing company (see FIG. 2).

  The operation after the maintenance of the outdoor light lighting confirmation system 1 will be described below with reference to FIG.

  When the management server 100 is activated, the predetermined time stored in the lighting confirmation time storage means is read (S110). The management server 100 has a clock unit 180, and checks whether the time is read at a predetermined time or every predetermined time (S116). If it is before the predetermined time, it waits for a certain time (S118).

  When the predetermined time is reached, the sampling-target outside light identification symbol is read from the outside-light information stored in the outside-light information storage means 122 (S120). The following sampling is performed until the determination of the sampling target is completed (S130). Sampling signals are sequentially sent from the sampling pole 132 (n) having the smallest identification number to the target outdoor lamp lighting confirmation device 200 (n) via the communication line 300 by the sampling means 132 (S140). The outdoor light lighting confirmation device 200 (n) that has received the sampling signal returns the identification number, the sunlight detection information, and the external light detection information to the management server 100 via the communication line 300 (S150).

  Based on the received sunlight detection information and outside lamp light detection information, the determination means 133 determines whether the outside lamp 300 (n) is normally lit or abnormal (S160). The determination means 133 is determined by a table as shown in FIG. As described above, an appropriate sampling time (predetermined time) is determined in consideration of the sunrise and sunset times according to the season and region.

  If the detection of sunlight is ON and the detection of outside light is ON and the sampling time is daytime, the daylight is on and the outside light 300 (n) is abnormal. If the detection of sunlight is ON and the detection of outside light is OFF even during the same daytime, the outside light 300 (n) is normal.

  If the detection of sunlight is OFF and the detection of outside light is OFF and the sampling time is night, the night light is not lit and the outside light 300 (n) is abnormal. If the detection of sunlight is OFF and the detection of outdoor light is ON at the same night, the external light 300 (n) is normal.

  If the determination result is normal, the next object, that is, the next outdoor light (n + 1) is sampled (S162). If the determination result is abnormal, it is displayed by the display means 140 (S170), and the history data storage means 152 stores the sampling date, time, identification number, sunlight detection information, and outdoor lamp light identification information. (S180). After storing, the next object, that is, the next outdoor light (n + 1) is sampled (S182).

  In this way, the sampling is sequentially performed, and when the determination of the sampling target is finished, the sampling is finished (S130).

  As described above, the outdoor light confirmation system confirms lighting of the external light at a predetermined time by the external light lighting confirmation means based on the contracted external light information. The lighting confirmation result is displayed by the display means 140. Therefore, the user of the system can confirm which of the contracted outdoor lights is abnormal. Based on the confirmed result, the electric power company or the like can inspect and repair the outdoor light indicated as abnormal.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of the external light lighting confirmation device. The outside light lighting confirmation device 400 (n) is different from the outside light lighting confirmation device 200 (n) in that it has a central processing unit (hereinafter abbreviated as CPU) 410 (n) and a storage unit 420 (n). The outdoor lamp lighting confirmation device 400 (n) can prevent the sampling time by the sampling means 132 from becoming excessive when the number of contracted external lights becomes enormous.

  Since the CPU 410 (n) and the storage unit 420 (n) are included, a predetermined time can be transmitted from the management server 100 in advance and stored in the storage unit 420 (n). It can be detected by the sunlight detection means 220 (n) and the outside light detection means 240 (n) at the stored predetermined time, and the detection data 422 (n) can be stored in the storage unit 420 (n). Further, the identification symbol 424 (n) is also stored in the storage unit 420 (n).

  When the management server 100 performs sampling by the sampling unit 132, the outdoor lamp lighting confirmation device 400 (n) returns a response by associating the stored detection data 422 (n) with the identification symbol 424 (n). As a result, sampling can be executed in a shorter time than in the first embodiment, and the same effect as described in the first embodiment can be obtained.

[Third embodiment]
FIG. 9 is a flowchart for calculating the maintenance commission fee and creating an invoice for the outdoor lamp lighting confirmation system 1 of the present invention. In the outside light lighting confirmation system 1, when the user gives an instruction to calculate the maintenance commission fee and create a bill, customer information is read (S210). Next, the outside contract light information is read from the outside contract light information storage means 122 (S220). By comparing the read information, it is determined whether or not the customer is an outside lamp maintenance contract customer (S230).

  If the customer is a contract customer, the history data is read from the history data storage means 152 (S240). When the history data is read, the maintenance fee is calculated based on the history data together with the calculation of the electricity bill (S250). Thereafter, a maintenance contract fee bill is created together with the electricity bill (S260).

  If it is not a contract customer, only the electricity bill is calculated (S255) and an electricity bill is created (S265).

  As described above, the maintenance commission fee is calculated based on the history data, and the bill is generated together with the electricity bill. Therefore, the electric utility company can reliably collect the maintenance commission fee. On the other hand, since the customer who is the owner of the outdoor lamp is also settled together with the electricity bill, it is freed from troublesome payment processing.

  Although the above example mainly explained the outdoor light lighting confirmation system, it is similarly realized by installing the external light lighting confirmation program having the means described in the external light lighting confirmation system in the computer and causing the computer to function as the means. can do.

  It can also be realized by installing a computer program having the same means in a computer having the same performance as the above-mentioned outdoor light lighting confirmation system and using it by the method described above.

  As mentioned above, although demonstrated using embodiment of this invention, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the range as described in the said embodiment. Various modifications or improvements can be added to the above embodiment. It is apparent from the scope of the claims that the embodiments added with such changes or improvements can be included in the technical scope of the present invention.

  For example, the outside light detection means may be a method that does not make a hole in the cover of the outside light using an optical fiber. Further, the present invention can be similarly implemented even if the sunlight detecting means is not a Cds cell but a photodiode.
