(Embodiment 1)
Hereinafter, the embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. The technology described in the present embodiment is intended to make it possible to provide various services to the user of the equipment device 40 by managing information related to the equipment device 40 installed in the building. This type of service includes, for example, provision of information related to maintenance or inspection of the equipment 40, addition or change of functions of the equipment 40, and the like.

  Therefore, the service provider who provides this type of service must know at least the type of equipment 40 installed in the building and the geographical location of the building where the equipment 40 is installed. I must. If information such as the operating status can be managed for the equipment 40, the timing of performing work such as maintenance or inspection of the equipment 40 can be easily managed. In the present embodiment, these information are incidental. Treat as information.

  Information used by the service provider is stored in the server 20 capable of providing information through the telecommunication line 50 such as the Internet. The server 20 includes a storage unit 21 that stores first identification information D11 that identifies the facility device 40 and location information F11 that identifies a geographical location where the facility device 40 is installed in association with each other. The server 20 is configured using a computer, constructs a database management system for managing data in the storage unit 21, and includes a communication unit 24 for communicating with the terminal 10 through the electric communication line 50. The server 20 is usually composed of a plurality of computers, and there are cases where the plurality of computers are centrally arranged at one location in the geography and distributed at different locations in the geography. .

  The terminal 10 with which the server 20 communicates is not particularly limited as long as communication is possible through the telecommunication line 50. In the present embodiment, description will be made assuming that the terminal 10 is a general-purpose mobile terminal with a camera such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal, and the following functions are realized by an application program. Furthermore, the mobile terminal desirably has a function as a terminal of a positioning system (a terminal such as a GPS (Grobal Positioning System) that acquires a position on the earth).

  Since the mobile terminal is a kind of computer integrally including an input device, an output device, and a communication device, the function of the terminal 10 described below can be realized by executing a program (application program). . That is, the processing unit having various functions described below is realized by causing a processor included in the terminal 10 to execute a program. In the embodiment described below, a camera is used, but the camera is not essential. It is desirable to have a function as a GPS terminal, but it is not essential. Furthermore, a dedicated terminal can be used as long as it has a function described below.

  The server 20 may communicate with the facility device 40 through the electric communication line 50. However, if the server 20 adopts a configuration in which the server 20 directly communicates with the facility device 40 through the telecommunication line 50, the facility device 40 needs to have a configuration to communicate with the telecommunication line 50, which may lead to an increase in the cost of the facility device 40. is there.

  Therefore, it is desirable that the server 20 and the equipment 40 communicate with each other with the terminal 10 interposed. In this case, it is desirable that the terminal 10 communicates with the server 20 through the electric communication line 50 and performs short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) with the facility device 40. When the terminal 10 is selected from a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like, this type of communication function may be a communication function provided in the terminal 10. Since this type of terminal 10 has a communication function for performing mobile communication (that is, wireless communication), this communication function can be used.

  Since the terminal 10 communicates with the server 20 through the electric communication line 50, it is desirable to construct a VPN (Virtual Private Network) and prevent information leakage. Further, since the terminal 10 performs short-range wireless communication with the facility device 40, the technology for preventing information leakage can be simplified.

  The terminal 10 is assumed to have a configuration including a touch panel and a camera as the input device 18 and a flat panel display such as a liquid crystal display as the output device 19. The input device 18 may be a keyboard such as a numeric keypad or an alphabet key. When the terminal 10 is selected from a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like, the input device 18 and the output device 19 can also use the configuration included in the terminal 10.

  In this embodiment, the case where the equipment 40 is the distribution board 100 having the configuration shown in FIG. 2 will be described as an example. The distribution board 100 shown in the figure can add the following configuration in addition to the configuration of a general distribution board including a main breaker 101 and a plurality of branch breakers 102.

  A configuration that can be added to the distribution board 100 includes a power sensor 103 that measures the power used for each branch circuit branched by the branch breaker 102, a plurality of types of distributed power sources 104, 105, and 106, and a communication unit that communicates with other devices. 110 or the like.

  The power sensor 103 calculates a power by using a current sensor 1031 having a number of Rogowski coils equal to the number of branch breakers 102 and a current value measured by the current sensor 1031 and a voltage between lines of the branch circuit. Unit 1032. The power sensor 103 can be incorporated before the distribution board 100 is shipped from the factory, but can also be attached to the distribution board 100 at the site where the distribution board 100 is installed. Therefore, the housing of the distribution board 100 is provided with a space SP1 for attaching the current sensor 1031 and a space SP2 for attaching the circuit board of the power calculation unit 1032.

  The distributed power source 104 is a power generation device that generates power using natural energy, such as a solar battery, and assumes a distributed power source that allows reverse power flow to the power system. In addition, the distributed power source 105 is a storage battery, and is assumed to be charged by at least one power of the system power source and the distributed power source 104 and discharge the power to an electric load in the building. The distributed power source 104 and the distributed power source 105 are connected to the distribution board 100 through the power converter 120. When connecting the power converter 120, the cooperation breaker 108 is arrange | positioned at the primary side (system power supply side) of the master breaker 101 in the distribution board 100. FIG. For this reason, the distribution board 100 is provided with a space SP3 for incorporating the cooperation breaker 108 therein.

  The power converter 120 has a built-in converter that performs power conversion between direct current and alternating current. Moreover, the power converter device 120 is provided with the cooperation terminal connected to the cooperation breaker 108, and the self-supporting terminal for outputting electric power when a system power supply fails.

  During a period in which power can be received from the system power supply, the converter is connected to the cooperation breaker 108 through the cooperation terminal. In this state, the power generated by the distributed power source 104 (solar cell) can be used by the electric load in the building, and the power generated by the distributed power source 104 can be reversely flowed to the power system. In addition, it becomes possible to charge the distributed power source 105 (storage battery) using the power of the system power source, and the power stored in the distributed power source 105 can be used by an electric load in the building.

  At the time of power failure of the system power supply, the cooperation terminal is disconnected from the converter, and the converter is connected to the self-supporting terminal. Therefore, it becomes possible to supply the electric power of the distributed power source 104 and the distributed power source 105 to the electric load in the building from the self-supporting terminal. Since there is a limit to the power that can be supplied from the distributed power source 104 and the distributed power source 105, it is desirable that the electrical load to which power is supplied through the self-standing terminal is limited to a specific electrical load.

  By the way, the distributed power source 106 assumes a fuel cell (including a power converter). The distributed power source 106 is connected to the secondary side of the main breaker 101 in the distribution board 100. Specifically, the distributed power source 106 is connected to the cooperative breaker 109 that is disposed by diverting a part of the space SP4 where the branch breaker 102 is disposed. The power generated by the distributed power source 106 is not allowed to reversely flow through the power system. Therefore, the direction of power is monitored between the main breaker 101 and the cooperation breaker 109, and the output of the distributed power source 106 is adjusted so that no power is generated in the direction from the distributed power source 106 toward the main breaker 101.

  The distribution board 100 shown in the figure accommodates the communication unit 110 in addition to the spaces SP1 to SP4 for accommodating the main breaker 101, the branch breaker 102, the power sensor 103, the linkage breaker 108, and the linkage breaker 109 as described above. A space SP5 is also provided. The communication unit 110 has a function of communicating with a power meter 60 (so-called smart meter) having a communication function, a HEMS (Home Energy Management System) controller 61 that manages the operation of an electric load used in a building, and the like.

  In addition to the power meter 60 and the HEMS controller 61, the communication unit 110 has a plurality of communication adapters 112 mounted on the base 111 so as to be able to communicate with various devices having a communication function as required. The configuration is adopted. That is, by selecting the communication adapter 112 as necessary and attaching it to the base 111, communication with various devices becomes possible. The base 111 has a function of communicating through an electric communication line such as the Internet, and can transmit information to and from a server 62 provided separately from the distribution board 100. Information collected by communication can be mutually used by various devices communicating with the communication unit 110 in addition to the HEMS controller 61. Information collected by the power sensor 103 is also used by various devices through the communication unit 110.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the distribution board 100 is assumed as the equipment 40. However, the distribution panel 100 is an example, and the specific configuration of the distribution panel 100 is not the essence of the facility device 40. Therefore, the configuration of the facility device 40 will be described below in a simplified manner.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the present embodiment is based on the premise that the equipment device 40 is attached with the first identification information D11 for specifying the equipment device 40. The first identification information D11 is described using, for example, a two-dimensional barcode on a nameplate 107 (see FIG. 2) attached so as not to be separable from the equipment device 40. On the nameplate 107, the first identification information D11 may be described by another code that is not a two-dimensional bar code, or a character representing the first identification information D11 may be described.

  As the first identification information D11, information uniquely given to the equipment device 40 such as a serial number given to the equipment device 40 and a MAC address of the communicable equipment device 40 can be used. However, the first identification information D <b> 11 only needs to be able to identify the type of the equipment device 40, and may not be unique for each equipment device 40. For example, the first identification information D11 may be a product number (a code for distinguishing the shape and color of the equipment 40).

  By the way, if it is going to provide the above services in relation to the equipment 40 installed in the building, the service provider must have information on the equipment 40. Therefore, in the name of user registration, an attempt has been made to allow the user of the facility device 40 to register information related to the facility device 40, but the achievement rate of the user registration is not sufficient, and the service provider provides the service. It is a situation where it cannot be said that sufficient information is obtained.

  In order for the service provider to provide the service as described above, at least first identification information D11 for specifying the facility device 40, and location information F11 regarding the geographical location where the facility device 40 is installed, is necessary. In the following, it is possible to easily register the first identification information D11 and the location information F11 in the storage unit 21 provided in the server 20, and as a result, it is possible to increase the registration rate of information related to the equipment device 40. The technology to make is explained.

  In order to register information related to the equipment 40 in the server 20, the terminal 10 that can communicate with the server 20 is used. The terminal 10 includes a first acquisition unit 11 having a function of acquiring the first identification information D11 and a second acquisition unit 12 having a function of acquiring the location information F11.

  The 1st acquisition part 11 is comprised by the camera (not shown) with which the terminal 10 is provided, and the process part which decodes the content of a two-dimensional barcode from the image of the two-dimensional barcode which the camera imaged. The two-dimensional barcode provided on the distribution board 100 includes first identification information D11 that identifies the facility device 40. Therefore, when the operator of the terminal 10 captures the two-dimensional barcode on the distribution board 100 with a camera, the content of the two-dimensional barcode is read and the first identification information D11 is extracted.

  On the other hand, the second acquisition unit 12 obtains the address as the terminal of the positioning system built in the terminal 10 and the address where the facility device 40 is installed based on the position measured using the positioning system. It is comprised by the process part acquired as place information F11. Since the positioning system measures the coordinate position on the earth, the second acquisition unit 12 associates the coordinate position and the address obtained by the positioning system at the site where the equipment 40 is installed (usually, Is present separately from the server 20), the address of the place where the facility device 40 is installed is acquired as the place information F11. The inquiry to the server is made through the telecommunication line 50 by the communication function of the terminal 10.

  It is desirable that the first acquisition unit 11 and the second acquisition unit 12 automatically acquire the first identification information D11 and the location information F11 by using the function of the terminal 10 as described above. . However, both the first identification information D11 and the location information F11 can be manually input using the input device 18 such as a touch panel or a keyboard. For example, when using the terminal 10 that does not include a camera, the first identification information D11 written on the nameplate 107 of the distribution board 100 may be manually input using the input device 18. Further, if the location is a basement where the positioning system cannot be used, an address may be manually input as the location information F11 using the input device 18. In the case where the address is undecided as in the case of the creation site, the coordinate position measured by the positioning system can be used for the location information F11.

  The terminal 10 includes a first communication unit 13 that transmits the first identification information D11 acquired by the first acquisition unit 11 and the location information F11 acquired by the second acquisition unit 12 to the server 20. The first communication unit 13 is realized by a part of the communication function provided in the terminal 10 and has a function of performing secure communication with the server 20 through the electric communication line 50.

  When the server 20 receives the first identification information D11 and the location information F11 transmitted from the terminal 10, the server 20 stores the first identification information D11 and the location information F11 in the storage unit 21 in association with each other. Therefore, the location stored for each type of the equipment device 40 can be known from the information stored in the storage unit 21 of the server 20. Therefore, it is possible to provide a service that provides information regarding maintenance or inspection of the facility device 40, addition or change of the function of the facility device 40, and the like.

  For example, the service provider can use the first identification information D11 to add devices such as the power sensor 103, the cooperation breakers 108 and 109, and the communication unit 110 later, like the distribution board 100 described above. You can know the existence of 40. Moreover, since the place where the equipment 40 is installed can be specified by using the location information F11, it becomes possible to directly communicate with the customer who uses the equipment 40, and the relationship with the customer is improved. be able to. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately transmit information about devices that can be added to customers who use the equipment 40 as described above, and to appropriately transmit information related to maintenance or inspection of the equipment 40. Become.

  The timing at which the terminal 10 transmits the first identification information D11 and the location information F11 to the server 20 is preferably after the installation of the equipment 40 has been completed. In general, since the contractor who installs the equipment 40 creates a report that reports the completion of the installation of the equipment 40, the terminal 10 can execute an application program for creating the report. It is desirable.

  The terminal 10 includes a first reception unit 14 for receiving installation confirmation information F12 indicating the end of installation work. The first receiving unit 14 is realized by controlling the input device 18 and the output device 19.

  When the contractor starts up an application program for reporting the completion of the installation when the installation of the equipment 40 is completed, a screen for notifying the completion of the installation is displayed on the output device 19. In this state, by operating the input device 18, installation confirmation information F <b> 12 is input through the first reception unit 14. If the application program has a function to create a report on installation work, a screen to notify the completion of the installation work is displayed after the necessary information is entered in the report. It is desirable to do. By performing such a process, it becomes possible to combine the creation of a report with the completion of installation work, and it is possible to prevent a contractor from forgetting to create a report.
