Description

  The present invention relates to an integrated monitoring system for integrated monitoring of different facilities and an integrated monitoring method.

  Conventionally, in facility integrated monitoring, a facility monitoring system is constructed by integrating management systems for each facility (air conditioning equipment, certification equipment, crime prevention equipment, disaster prevention equipment, broadcasting equipment, elevator equipment, etc.). In this case, the data recorded in the management system of all facilities is not managed in-house, but only necessary data is exchanged from the management system in charge of each.

  Further, for example, in Patent Document 1, when the franchisor headquarters of a franchisee store that is a building tenant desires energy saving of the entire franchisee store that is deployed nationwide, the company's control over the equipment of the store in a certain building Create energy saving reports including other equipment and equipment belonging to the entire store, including franchisee stores outside the building, by creating reports that determine whether requirements are adopted or control requests from other companies. It is described.

Here, in the facility management apparatus 20 of another company, it is assumed that June 3 is preset as the graph area to be created and the graph extraction point as the graph area to be created, and the cooperation ID is given. In addition, in the equipment management apparatus 20 of the company, it is assumed that a graph of the power usage state is set as a graph area to be created, and June 3 is preset as a graph extraction point, and a cooperation ID is given.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the operation of the facility management apparatus 20 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
Note that the process of FIG. 4 described below is performed at predetermined intervals.
The image file creation unit 204 stores, as an image file, a graph displayed on the screen of the facility management apparatus 20 by a browser or software unique to another company when the cycle is set in advance (step ST41). Note that here, the image file creation unit 204 is displayed on the screen of the equipment management apparatus 20, that is, the visualized data is assumed to be an image file. The data may be an image file.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a specific image of the operation in the integrated monitoring system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
For example, in the case of the equipment management apparatus 20 that manages the temperature measuring equipment installed in the other company, in step ST41, the image file creation unit 204 displays the temperature visualized in the other company's system as shown in FIG. And a graph showing changes in humidity in an image file. Further, for example, in the case of the facility management apparatus 20 that manages the air conditioning facilities installed in the company, in step ST41, the image file creation unit 204 is visualized in the company system as shown in FIG. 5B. Save the power status graph in an image file.
Next, the image file transmission unit 209 displays the image file saved by the image file creation unit 204 in step ST41, the graph area and the graph extraction range (referred to as graph extraction information) stored in the extraction information storage unit 203.
