(5.1) Modification 1
When the display control unit 15 displays the state level (pictosign) of the person in each facility 5 of the plurality of facilities 5 on the display unit 31, so that all the pictograms are within the state display area 101, All pictograms may be displayed on the display unit 31.

  In this case, the processing unit 32 of the information terminal 3 receives a display instruction including a plurality of pictosigns respectively corresponding to the plurality of facilities 5 and a plurality of related information respectively corresponding to the plurality of pictosigns from the server 1. When receiving the display instruction, the processing unit 32 displays all the pictograms on the display unit 31 so that all the pictosigns are within the state display area 101 of the display unit 31. The processing unit 32 calculates the size of the display area 120 for displaying one pictosign and corresponding related information from the received number of pictosigns and the size of the state display area 101. For example, the processing unit 32 calculates the size of the display area 120 per pictosign by dividing the size of the state display area 101 by the number of pictosigns. For each facility 5, the processing unit 32 controls the display unit 31 so that the corresponding pictosign and related information are displayed within the display area 120 having the calculated size. That is, the display control unit 15 displays all the pictograms on the display unit 31 so that all the pictosigns are within the state display area 101 by transmitting a display instruction to the information terminal 3.

  For example, when the number of houses in the facility 5 is 8, the number of pictograms is 8. The processing unit 32 calculates the size of the display area 120 per pictosign by dividing the size of the state display area 101 by the number of pictosigns. For each facility 5, the processing unit 32 controls the display unit 31 so that the corresponding pictosign and related information are displayed within the display area 120 having the calculated size. FIG. 7A shows a display example when the number of units in the facility 5 is eight. The processing unit 32 can display all the picto-signs on the display unit 31 as shown in FIG. 7A by calculating the size of the display area 120 per picto-sign.

  In FIG. 5A, there are pictograms that are not partially displayed, but in this modification, all pictosigns are displayed. Therefore, there is no need to display the scroll bar B1 as in FIG. 5A. Therefore, the processing unit 32 may calculate the size of the display area 120 per pictosign, with the entire screen area displayed by the display unit 31 as the state display area 101.

  In this modified example, since all the state levels (pictosigns) are displayed so as to fit within the display area (state display area 101) of the display unit 31, the owner of the information terminal 3 Each person's state can be grasped at a glance.

(5.2) Modification 2
In this modification, when the display control unit 15 displays the state level (pictosign) of the person in each of the facilities 5 on the display unit 31, the display control unit 15 is in an abnormal state among all the pictosigns. All the state levels indicating the presence are displayed on at least the display unit 31.

  In this case, the processing unit 32 of the information terminal 3 receives a display instruction including a plurality of pictosigns respectively corresponding to the plurality of facilities 5 and a plurality of related information respectively corresponding to the plurality of pictosigns from the server 1. When the processing unit 32 receives the display instruction, the processing unit 32 displays on the display unit 31 all of the state levels representing the abnormal state among all the pictograms. The processing unit 32 determines the display target range based on the state level represented by each of the plurality of pictosigns and the arrangement when the plurality of pictosigns are displayed. Specifically, the processing unit 32 determines the display target range so that all of the pictograms indicating the abnormal state are within the state display area 101. That is, the display control unit 15 causes the display unit 31 to display all pictosigns representing an abnormal state among all pictosigns by transmitting a display instruction to the information terminal 3.

  For example, it is assumed that the number of houses in the facility 5 is 10 (room numbers are “101” to “105”, “201” to “205”), and the pictograms corresponding to the room numbers 104 and 202 are in an abnormal state. And Further, it is assumed that the total number of pictograms that can be displayed in the status display area 101 is six as shown in FIG. 5A. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5A, from the left end of the status display screen 100, the pictosign corresponding to the room number “* 01”, the pictosign corresponding to the room number “* 02”, and so on are displayed in this order. The entire pictogram for the room number “104” is not displayed. At this time, the display target area includes the entire pictosign corresponding to the room number “* 01” to “* 03” and a part of the pictosign corresponding to the room number “* 04”. ing.

  Therefore, the processing unit 32 excludes the pictosign of the room number “* 01” from the display target area, that is, sets the display target area so that the pictosign corresponding to the room number “* 02” is at the left end on the status display screen 100. decide. FIG. 7B shows a display example in this case. The processing unit 32 represents the abnormal state as shown in FIG. 7B by changing the display target region so that at least all the pictosigns representing the abnormal state among all the pictosigns are displayed. All pictographs can be displayed on the display unit 31.

  In FIG. 7B, a scroll bar B1 is displayed. To display other pictographs that are not displayed from the screen (initial screen) on which all the pictograms indicating an abnormal state are displayed as the status display screen 100, operate the scroll bar B1. Thus, it is possible to display other pictograms.

  Further, the scroll bar B1 may not be displayed. In this case, the state display screen displayed on the display unit 31 is fixed as the initial screen.

  Further, the display control unit 15 may display only all the state levels that are abnormal states among all the state levels on the display unit 31.

  In this modification, all the pictosigns are displayed so that all the state levels (pictosigns) indicating the abnormal state are within the display area (state display area 101) of the display unit 31. Thereby, the owner of the information terminal 3 can grasp | ascertain the person in all the facilities 5 which are in an abnormal state at a glance.

  In the first modification, since all the pictosigns are displayed on the display unit 31, the size of the display area 120 per pictosign decreases as the number of pictosigns to be displayed increases. If the size of the display area 120 is reduced, it may be difficult to identify what state the picto sign represents. On the other hand, in this modification, since all the state levels that are abnormal states among all the state levels are displayed on the display unit 31, the size of the displayed pictosign is larger than that in the modification 1. . Therefore, compared with the modified example 1, it is less likely that it is difficult to identify what state the picto sign represents.

  Further, this modification may be combined with Modification 1. In this case, when all the pictograms do not fit in the state display area 101, the processing unit 32 performs the operation of this modification. For example, the processing unit 32 calculates the size of the display area 120 per pictosign by dividing the size of the state display area 101 by the number of pictosigns. When the division result (the size of the display area 120 per pictosign) is smaller than a predetermined size, the processing unit 32 performs the operation of the second modification.

(5.3) Modification 3
In this modification, the display control unit 15 superimposes information (for example, a room number) on a person's facility in the facility 5 in an abnormal state on the state display screen 100 when the state display screen 100 is displayed. Is displayed on the display unit 31.

  In this case, the processing unit 32 of the information terminal 3 receives a display instruction including a plurality of pictosigns respectively corresponding to the plurality of facilities 5 and a plurality of related information respectively corresponding to the plurality of pictosigns from the server 1. The processing unit 32 displays a state display screen 100 including a plurality of pictograms and a plurality of related states on the display unit 31. At this time, when there is a pictosign representing an abnormal state among a plurality of pictosigns, the processing unit 32 displays a message screen 200 including information on the facility of the person in the facility 5 in the abnormal state with the display unit 31. To display. In other words, the display control unit 15 displays all pictosigns representing an abnormal state among all pictosigns on the display unit 31 by transmitting a display instruction to the information terminal 3.

  For example, when the person in the facility 5 with the room numbers “104”, “105”, and “202” is in an abnormal state, the room numbers “104”, “105”, and “202” are abnormal. The possibility is displayed on the display unit 31 as a message screen 200 (see FIG. 7C).

  Note that the processing unit 32 may control the display unit 31 to display the message screen 200 by transitioning from the state display screen 100.

  In the first modification, as described in the second modification, if the size of the display area 120 is reduced, it may be difficult to identify what kind of state the picto sign represents. In the second modification, if the number of pictograms indicating an abnormal state increases, there is a possibility that the state does not fit in the state display area 101. Therefore, it is effective to apply this modification to the display system of the embodiment when not all the pictograms fit in the status display area 101 and all pictosigns representing an abnormal state do not fit in the status display area 101. It is. Of course, only this modification may be applied to the display system of the embodiment without being combined with Modifications 1 and 2.

(5.4) Modification 4
In this modification, the display control unit 15 includes visit information (for example, a telephone number) related to a person (company) who can visit the facility 5 when a pictosign representing an abnormal state is present among a plurality of pictograms. A visit information screen 250 is displayed on the display unit 31.

  In this case, the server 1 stores visit information in association with each facility 5 in the storage unit 11.

  When there is one or more pictosigns representing an abnormal state among a plurality of pictosigns, the display control unit 15 includes visit information corresponding to each of the one or more pictosigns in the instruction information, and the information terminal 3 to send.

  When receiving the instruction information, the processing unit 32 of the information terminal 3 displays a status display screen 100 including a plurality of pictograms and a plurality of related information included in the instruction information on the display unit 31. The processing unit 32 generates a visit information screen 250 including the visit information included in the instruction information, and displays the visit information screen 250 on the display unit 31 so as to overlap the state display screen 100.

  For example, the processing unit 32 displays a visit information screen 250 including visit information corresponding to the room number “202” on the status display screen 100 shown in FIG. 5A (see FIG. 8). The visit information screen 250 includes a message area 251. In the message area 251, a person who can visit, a sales office of a security company, and a contact information such as a telephone number are displayed. In the message area 251, as shown in FIG. 6, the person who can visit and the contact information are displayed in a display form such as “Do you want to contact Mr. XX?“ Yes ”,“ No ””. May be.

  The visit information screen 250 described above may be displayed after transition from the state display screen 100.

  In addition, the processing unit 32 is a facility corresponding to the selected pictosign when one pictosign is tapped (selected) out of the one or more pictograms displayed on the display unit 31 and indicating the abnormal state. The display unit 31 may be controlled to display the visit information screen 250.
