However, the voice call and the image transmission between the interphone master unit IM and the door phone slave unit DS are ended when a predetermined time elapses after the response button is pressed or when the response button is pressed again. When the intrusion of the suspicious person in the monitoring area is detected, the image of the monitoring area captured by the sensor camera SC is transmitted to the interphone master unit IM via the doorphone slave unit DS and displayed on the liquid crystal display. However, since the interphone master unit IM, the door phone slave unit DS, and the sensor camera SC having the functions as described above are well known in the art, illustration and description of detailed configurations are omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the image transfer controller C3 includes a control unit 40 including a microcomputer as a main component, a LAN communication unit 41 that is connected to a LAN cable of a home network and interfaces with the control unit 40 and the home network, A display having a communication unit 42 that performs data communication with the interphone base unit IM via a signal line, a display unit that displays a power on / off state, a communication state, and the like by a light emitting element such as an LED, a push button switch, and the like. / The operation unit 44 and a storage unit 43 that stores a program executed by the microcomputer and data (image data and call voice data) transmitted from the intercom master unit IM through the signal line.

  Although not shown, a power supply circuit is also provided for generating a desired DC power source from a commercial power source and supplying operating power to the control unit 40 and other units.

  The control unit 40 receives image data and call voice data transmitted from the intercom master unit DS and the sensor camera SC to the interphone master unit IM from the interphone master unit IM via the communication unit 42 and receives the received data in a predetermined compression method. (For example, MPEG4 for moving images, JPEG for still images, MP3 for audio, etc.) and then a response message (transfer function) that is transferred to the center device SV as a response message through the home network and external network; A function for notifying the center device SV through the home network and the external network that the interphone base unit IM has recorded an image and a voice call when the answering machine function of the interphone base unit IM is valid, and a return notification Depending on the function, the homemaker's return to the intercom base phone IM And a function of transferring a response message returned home notifies the center apparatus SV via the home network and the external network when it is known (return home notification forwarding function). In addition, the control unit 40 holds a large number of Web page groups that disclose a list of images recorded in the storage unit 43, and the control unit 40 includes the Web page group in response to an access to the URL of the Web page from the terminal device. Has a Web server function for providing (distributing) the data of the corresponding Web page from the communication unit 41 to the terminal device.

  In this system, a so-called Web camera WC having a function (Web server function) for distributing an image captured by itself is connected to a communication port of the integrated management apparatus TM via a LAN cable (FIG. 3).

  The Web server function installed in the display device CV creates a Web page (so-called portal site) that serves as an entrance to the Web page (the home page of each subsystem SSn) provided by each controller Cn through the Web server function. When the display device CV is activated or restarted from the sleep state, the portal site is displayed on the display unit 52 by the tab browser 50a. That is, the screen of this portal site is the top screen in the display device CV. In this portal site, links to Web contents (homepages of each subsystem SSn) provided by each controller Cn are displayed as icons. If the touch panel is operated on any icon, the icon is displayed. A Web page transmission request message is transmitted from the display device CV to the linked URL (IP address of the Web page group held by each controller Cn). When the controller Cn that has received the transmission request message transmits a specified Web page from the group of Web pages held by the controller Cn to the display device CV, the controller Cn's Web page ( For example, the home page of each subsystem SSn is displayed on the display unit 52.

  The integrated management apparatus TM also has a Web server function, and the portal site is created in the integrated management apparatus TM and provided to a terminal device (personal computer PC or display device CV) in a house through a home network (distribution) )

  Next, the operation in the case of controlling and monitoring the equipment device Xm using the display device CV will be described.

  First, the display device CV displays portal site data for displaying icons indicating links to the home pages of the subsystems SS1 to SS3 connected via the network, characters indicating the names of the individual subsystems SS1 to SS3, and the like ( File) is created in advance and stored in the storage unit 54. At the time of start-up or restart from the sleep state, the portal site data is opened by the tab browser 50a executed by the control unit 50, thereby comprising a liquid crystal display. The portal site is displayed on the display unit 52 as a top screen. When the touch panel is operated on the icon of the subsystem SS1, the web browser transmission request message is transmitted by the tab browser 50a by accessing the link destination URL displayed by the icon.

  When the control unit 10 of the equipment device controller C1 or C1 ′ that has received the transmission request message transmits the data of the Web page held by the equipment device controller C1 or C1 ′ to the display device CV, the tab browser 50a executed by the control unit 50 executes the data ( By opening (File), the Web page (for example, homepage) of the subsystem SS1 is displayed on the display unit 52. In this homepage, the names of the equipment devices X1 to X4 included in the subsystem SS1 and characters indicating the installation locations (for example, “living air conditioner”, “living lighting”, etc.), and the operating states of the respective equipment devices X1 to X4 , A button corresponding to an operation for inverting the operation state of each equipment device X1 to X4, and the like are displayed, and other web pages are linked to these buttons. Therefore, it is possible to monitor (confirm) the operating state of each equipment device X1 to X4 from the information displayed on the homepage.

  Here, in the case of performing control for reversing the operating state of any of the equipment devices Xm, for example, control for turning off the currently lit lighting fixture (facility device X2), the operating state of the equipment device X4 is reversed on the homepage. The touch panel is operated on a button corresponding to the operation.

  Then, a message indicating that the button is operated by the tab browser 50a, that is, a message (request message) for requesting to turn off the lighting device (facility device X2) is sent to the network of the facility device controller C1 or C1 ′ through the home network. Sent to an address.

  Then, the control unit 10 of the equipment device controller C1 or C1 'that has received this request message performs a control process for turning off the luminaire (facility equipment X2). Thereafter, the control unit 10 transmits Web page data corresponding to turning off the lighting fixture (equipment X2) to the display device CV, and the tab browser 50a executed by the control unit 50 of the display device CV stores the data (file). By opening, another web page of the subsystem SS1 is displayed on the display unit 52. In the displayed web page, the operating state of the lighting fixture (facility device X2) is changed from lighting to extinguishing.

  Further, the display device CV transmits a request message to the security controller C2 and the image transfer controller C3 to gain access to the Web pages of the corresponding subsystems SS2 and SS3, and monitors and controls the subsystems SS2 and SS3. It can be performed. Since the monitoring and control methods of the subsystems SS2 and SS3 are substantially the same as those of the subsystem SS1, description thereof will be omitted.

  Then, an event related to monitoring or control occurs in any of the equipment devices Xm of the subsystem SS1, any of the security devices Ym of the subsystem SS2, the interphone master unit IM, the doorphone slave unit DS, and the sensor camera SC of the subsystem SS3. In this case, the controller Cn provides (distributes) the event notification Web page data from the Web page group to the display device CV according to the event that has occurred by the Web server function.

  The tab browser 50a executed by the control unit 50 of the display device CV interrupts and displays the acquired event notification Web page on the display unit 52. Hereinafter, interrupt display of the event notification Web page by the tab browser 50a will be described. explain.

  A tab browser displays a plurality of web pages by associating each web page with a tab and displaying them on a single screen. A plurality of web pages can be obtained simply by executing one tab browser. Each of these can be displayed on one screen while being managed with tabs. When closing each Web page, a process for closing the Web page associated with the tab is performed by designating the tab.

  First, in the display device CV, it is assumed that the address input screen G1 shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display unit 52 so that the user can set an address of a device on the network, and that the user is operating. The address input screen G1 is a built-in Web page that is stored in the storage unit 54 in advance by the display device CV. The address input screen G1 is provided by the Web server function of the control unit 50 and is displayed on the display unit 52 by executing the tab browser 50a. Is displayed.

  In this state, when the security device Y2 detects a fire on the subsystem SS2 side, the security controller C2 provides the event notification Web page P2 to the display device CV, assuming that a fire detection event has occurred. The tab browser 50a executed by the control unit 50 of the display device CV associates the event notification screen G2 with a tab different from the currently displayed address input screen G1, and displays the title bar T2 as shown in FIG. An event notification screen G2 in which an event notification Web page P2 is arranged below is generated. Here, the title bar T2 is provided by the Web server function of the display device CV, and the event notification Web page P2 is provided by the Web server function of the security controller C2, and the event notification Web page is displayed in an inline frame below the title bar T2. P2 is arranged.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the generated event notification screen G2 is displayed on the display unit 52 in an interrupted manner on the address input screen G1 being displayed, and the control unit 50 notifies the alarm sound from the speaker unit 55. . The event notification Web page P2 describes the content for notifying the user of the occurrence of a fire alarm, and further includes a sound stop button B2 for stopping the alarm sound. Further, the position and size of the event notification Web page P2 in the display unit 52 are set by the Web server function of the security controller C2 that is the provider, and the Web server function of the display device CV is the event notification Web page P2. The position and size of the title bar T2 are set according to the position and size.

  Further, in the Web server function of the display device CV, a screen transition button Bt2 (screen transition operation unit) in which “go to operation screen” is displayed in the title bar T2 is arranged so that a touch panel can be operated. When the screen transition button Bt2 is pressed by the user, the tab browser 50a of the display device CV closes the event notification screen G2 and displays only the address input screen G1 on the display unit 52.

  When a screen is interrupted and displayed by an event notification, there is a high demand for returning to the original screen before the interrupt after confirming the event notification. Therefore, in the present embodiment, even when an event notification occurs using the tab browser 50a as described above, an event notification screen corresponding to a new tab is displayed on the displayed screen without closing the currently displayed screen. It has a configuration in which the interrupt display is repeated and only the event notification screen is closed by the screen transition button Bt. Therefore, the display of the display device CV is interrupted and displayed easily by the event notification and then easily returned to the original screen before the interruption without any deterioration in usability due to the connection connection time limit, cache invalidation, cache time limit, etc. be able to. Even after an event occurs, the user can easily return to the original screen that was being operated, so that usability is improved without unnecessarily disturbing the operation.

  However, depending on the type of the event notification Web page P2, as shown in FIG. 10, there are some that are formed to have substantially the same size as the entire surface of the display unit 52 when interrupt display is performed. For example, when the sound stop button B2 on the event notification screen G2 is pressed, a transition is made to a device status list screen (not shown) for status confirmation, but the Web page (event notification Web) in this device status list screen is displayed. Page) is displayed in full screen. However, the title bar T2 on which the screen transition button Bt2 is arranged deviates from the display range of the display unit 52, the screen transition button Bt2 cannot be operated, and the original screen cannot be returned.

  Therefore, the Web server function of the security controller C2 is a screen transition button Bc (screen transition) in which “go to operating screen” is displayed on the event notification Web page P2 formed to be approximately the same size as the entire display unit 52. The operation unit) is arranged so that the touch panel can be operated. When the screen transition button Bc is pressed by the user, the tab browser 50a of the display device CV accesses the Web server function of the security controller C2, and the Web server function of the security controller C2 displays the URL information of the address input screen G1. Reply to the display device CV. The tab browser 50a of the display device CV that has acquired the URL information of the address input screen G1 from the security controller C2 determines that the transition is made to the address input screen G1, closes the event notification screen G2, and displays the address input screen on the display unit 52. Only G1 is displayed.

  Therefore, the controller Cn on the subsystem SSn side can provide a screen display with good operability for the user without being aware of the display form by the tab browser 50a of the display device CV. Note that the tab browser 50a has an address input screen from a memory (not shown) included in the display device CV, in addition to a mode in which the URL information of the address input screen G1 is acquired from the security controller C2 when the user presses the screen transition button Bc. The form which acquires URL information of G1 may be sufficient.

  Further, the display device CV turns off the display unit 52 and displays nothing other than interrupting the event notification screen G2 while displaying the operation screen such as the address input screen G1. The event notification screen G2 may be interrupted and displayed from the sleep state. In such a case, the screen that transitions after closing the event notification screen G2 is the Web page (top screen) of the portal site that serves as the entrance to the home page of each subsystem SSn.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, when the event notification screen G2 is interrupted and displayed, the Web server function of the display device CV whose screen is turned off displays a screen transition button in which “return to top” is displayed in the title bar T2. Bt2a (screen transition operation unit) is arranged so that the touch panel can be operated. When the screen transition button Bt2a is pressed by the user, the tab browser 50a of the display device CV closes the event notification screen G2 and displays only the top screen on the display unit 52.

  Therefore, even when an interrupt display is made on the display device CV when the screen is turned off by an event notification, it is possible to perform a screen transition without a sense of incongruity after the interrupt screen is closed.

  Note that the Web server function of the display device CV in the above example is “go to operation screen” when the event notification screen G2 is interrupted and displayed while the operation screen such as the address input screen G1 is being displayed. When the button is pressed, the event notification screen G2 is closed and the screen transition button Bt2 for displaying the original operation screen is generated. When the event notification screen G2 is interrupted and displayed on the display device CV when the screen is turned off, “Return to top” is displayed, and when pressed, the event notification screen G2 is closed and a predetermined top screen is displayed. A screen transition button Bt2a to be displayed is generated. In other words, the Web server function of the display device CV prepares two screen transition buttons corresponding to the status (lighting and extinguishing) of the display unit 52 at the time of interrupt display.

  However, the Web server function of the display device CV, when displaying the event notification screen G2 in an interrupted manner, always displays “return” regardless of the state of the display unit 52 (lighted or unlit). Only transition buttons may be generated. In this case, if the tab browser 50a displays the event notification screen G2 while the operation screen such as the address input screen G1 is being displayed, when the screen transition button is operated, the tab browser 50a The screen is controlled so that the screen G2 is closed and the original operation screen is displayed. Further, when the event notification screen G2 is interrupted and displayed on the display device CV when the screen is turned off, when this screen transition button is operated, the event notification screen G2 is closed and a predetermined top screen is displayed. Control.

  Further, when providing the event notification Web page P2 to the display device CV displaying the operation screen such as the address input screen G1, the Web server function of the controller Cn also accesses the Web server function of the controller Cn during operation. When the screen transition button Bc for acquiring the URL of the original operation screen is generated and the event notification Web page P2 is provided to the display device CV whose screen is turned off, the Web server function of the controller Cn is accessed during the operation. A screen transition button Bc for acquiring a URL of a predetermined top screen may be generated. In other words, the Web server function of the controller Cn may prepare two screen transition buttons according to the status (lighting / extinguishing) of the display unit 52 at the time of interrupt display.

  Alternatively, when the event notification Web page P2 is provided to the display device CV, the controller Cn Web server function always displays “return” regardless of the state of the display unit 52 (lighted or unlit). Only one screen transition button may be generated. In this case, when the screen transition button is operated when the tab browser 50a interrupts and displays the event notification screen G2 while the operation screen such as the address input screen G1 is displayed, the tab browser 50a operates the controller Cn. The Web server function is accessed to acquire the URL of the original operation screen, and the screen is controlled so that the event notification screen G2 is closed and the original operation screen is displayed. Further, when the event notification screen G2 is interrupted and displayed on the display device CV whose screen is turned off, when this screen transition button is operated, the Web server function of the controller Cn is accessed to acquire the URL of the predetermined top screen. Then, the screen control is performed so that the event notification screen G2 is closed and a predetermined top screen is displayed.

  Further, the number of event notification screens displayed by interruption is not limited to one. The controller Cn provides an event notification Web page to the display device CV as many times as the number of events, and the Web server function of the display device CV creates an event notification screen using each event notification Web page. The tab browser 50a Each event notification screen is interrupted and displayed in association with one tag. In this case, the plurality of event notification screens are displayed so as to overlap in the order of event occurrence.

(Embodiment 2)
The housing equipment monitoring and control system using the display device of the present embodiment has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, except that tab designation information is added to the event notification Web page provided by the controller Cn when an event occurs. Different from 1.

  First, the tab browser 50a of the display device CV has a plurality of tabs, and tab numbers 1 to N are assigned to the respective tabs. Tab designation information is for event notification provided to the display device CV. This is tab number information associated with a Web page. The tab browser 50a of the display device CV is added to the event notification Web page when the event notification screen created using the event notification Web page acquired from the controller Cn is interrupted and displayed when an event occurs. Associate with tab number.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 12, it is assumed that the display device CV displays an address input screen G1 on the display unit 52 so that the user can set an address of a device on the network, and that the user is operating. In this state, when the security device Y2 detects a fire on the subsystem SS2 side, the security controller C2 displays the event notification Web page P2 with the tab designation information indicating the tab number “1” as a fire detection event has occurred. Provide to CV. The tab browser 50a executed by the control unit 50 of the display device CV associates the event notification screen G2 with the tab number “1” separately from the currently displayed address input screen G1, and notifies the event notification below the title bar T2. The event notification screen G2 on which the Web page P2 is arranged is generated and displayed on the display unit 52 in an interrupted manner on the address input screen G1 being displayed, and the control unit 50 notifies the alarm sound from the speaker unit 55.

  In this state, when the security device Y1 detects an intruder on the subsystem SS2 side, the security controller C2 determines that an intruder detection event has occurred and designates the event notification Web page P3 as a tab indicating the tab number “2”. Provided to the display device CV together with the information. The tab browser 50a executed by the control unit 50 of the display device CV associates the event notification screen G3 with the tab number “2” separately from the address input screen G1 and the event notification screen G2 currently displayed. An event notification screen G3 in which an event notification Web page P3 is arranged below the bar T3 is generated, interrupted and displayed on the display unit 52 over the displayed address input screen G1 and event notification screen G2, and a control unit 50 notifies the alarm sound from the speaker unit 55 (the alarm sound by the event notification screen G2 may be continued). The event notification Web page P3 describes the content for notifying the user of the occurrence of a security alarm, and further includes a sound stop button B3 for stopping the alarm sound.

  Further, the controller Cn knows the tab number associated with the event notification web page provided to the display device CV, and when the abnormality due to the intruder detection event is canceled on the subsystem SS2 side, the security controller C2 An event notification for canceling the abnormality is transmitted to the display device CV together with the tab designation information indicating the tab number “2”. The display device CV that has received the abnormality cancellation event notification closes the event notification screen G3 with the tab number “2” added to the abnormality cancellation event notification (see FIG. 13).

  Further, priority information may be added to the event notification Web page provided by the controller Cn. The display device CV uses an event notification Web page with high priority information when a plurality of event notification Web pages are provided from the controller Cn and the plurality of event notification Web pages are displayed by interruption. By displaying the event notification screen on a higher layer, an interrupt screen with a higher priority can be made conspicuous and usability is improved.

  As described above, the controller Cn on the side of the subsystem SSn can control the tab browser 50a of the display device CV, and can expand the Web content provided to the user.

  The tab number may be assigned to a different number for each subsystem SSn in addition to assigning a different number for each event that occurs.

  Further, in the Web server function of the controller Cn, the level of importance may be considered for each event that occurs. Each event has a level of importance set in advance, and a predetermined tab number is assigned in advance to an event notification Web page provided when an event having an importance level equal to or higher than a predetermined level occurs. It is not assigned to an event notification Web page. In other words, a dedicated tab number is assigned to an event notification Web page with high importance.

  On the other hand, a predetermined tab number is also assigned in advance to an event notification Web page provided when an event having an importance level lower than a predetermined level occurs. This tab number is the same tab as other low-importance event notification Web pages. The number is duplicated. That is, a common tab number is assigned to an event notification Web page with low importance.

  Thus, the tab browser 50a of the display device CV displays an event notification Web page for notifying the occurrence of an event having an importance level equal to or higher than a predetermined level, corresponding to an unused tab, and an event having an importance level lower than the predetermined level. The event notification Web page for notifying the occurrence is overwritten and displayed in correspondence with the tab being used.

  Therefore, the event notification screen using the event notification Web page with low importance will be overwritten by another event notification screen provided later if another event using the same tab number occurs later. . The event notification screen using the event notification Web page with high importance will continue to be displayed until the user presses the screen transition button without overwriting other event notification screens provided later. The confirmation by the user is surely performed.
