The data is transmitted to the transfer controller C3. In the image transfer controller C3, the control unit 40 compresses the image data received from the interphone master unit IM, and transfers the compressed image data to the display device CV as a response message. In the display control means CV, the received image data is decompressed by the control unit 50 and output to the display unit 52, so that the image captured by the door phone slave unit DS is displayed on the display unit 52.

  By the way, in general, when going out, the power of the air conditioner and the lighting fixture is turned off and the security receiver SR is switched to a warning state, or when going to bed, the lighting fixture is turned off and the security receiver SR is switched to a warning state. In a specific situation, a plurality of predetermined controls are often performed at the same time. In such a case, it is very difficult to input an operation for each control using the operation unit 53 (touch panel) of the display device CV. This is annoying work.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, symbols corresponding to three types of situations such as going out, staying at home, and sleeping are displayed on the screen of the portal site provided by the integrated management apparatus TM (for example, “going out”, “at home”, “sleeping”). Buttons B1 to B3 (see FIG. 7)), and when a selection operation of any of the buttons (hereinafter referred to as “collective button”) is accepted in the operation unit 53 of the display device CV, If one or more control request messages that are associated with the situation in advance, for example, a “going out” collective button is operated, the air conditioner and all lights for the equipment controller C1, C1 ′ A control request message instructing to turn off the appliance (turning off and turning off the power), and instructing the security controller C2 to switch the security receiver SR to a warning state. Create a control request message by the control unit 50 of the display device CV, respectively via the communication unit 51 the two kinds of control request message created for equipment controller C1, C1 'and security controller C2. When the operation unit 53 accepts the operation of the “going out” batch button, the control unit 50 displays characters such as “accepting outing mode” on the liquid crystal display of the display unit 52.

  On the other hand, the equipment controller C1, C1 ′ performs control to turn off the air conditioner and all the lighting fixtures according to the control request message received from the display device CV, and the security controller C2 performs control received from the display device CV. Control is performed to switch the operating state of the security receiver SR to the alert state in response to the request message. That is, when the user goes out, the air conditioner and all the lighting fixtures can be turned off and the security receiver SR can be switched to a warning state only by operating the “going out” collective button on the operation unit 53 of the display device CV. As compared with a case where an operation for each control is input by the operation unit 53 of the display device CV, there are advantages that work efficiency is high and operability is improved.

  Next, the operation in the case of controlling and monitoring the equipment Xm from outside the house using a portable terminal device (for example, the mobile phone MP) will be described here with respect to the external network (Internet) with respect to each controller Cn. If the web server function of this controller always opens the port, for example, there is a high possibility that a malicious intruder will cause an abnormality in the system. Therefore, the web server function of each controller Cn normally closes the port while closing the port. If the request message received from the portable terminal device is periodically polled to the device SV and held in the center device SV, the request message from the center device SV is polled by the controller Cn that is the destination of the request message. The home network is protected by transferring

  As described above, each controller Cn periodically polls the center device SV, and if the center device SV does not hold a request message from the mobile phone MP, the center device SV simply receives an acknowledgment (ACK). ) Is simply returned to the controller Cn. Here, the householder uses the mobile phone MP to transmit a request message (for example, a monitoring request message for the operating state of the lighting fixture) to the center device SV, and after the monitoring request message is held by the center device SV, the equipment controller When polled from C1 or C1 ′, the center device SV transmits (transfers) the monitoring request message received and held from the mobile phone MP to the equipment device controller C1 or C1 ′. In the equipment device controller C1 or C1 ′ that has received this monitoring request message, the control unit 10 creates a monitoring response message indicating the current operating state (for example, lighting) of the lighting fixture (facility equipment X2) and sends it to the center apparatus SV. Send back. The monitoring response message is transferred from the center device SV to the mobile phone MP, and the monitoring response message transferred from the center device SV is displayed on the liquid crystal screen of the mobile phone MP, so that the operating state (lighting) of the lighting fixture can be confirmed. .

  Further, the householder transmits a request message (for example, a control request message for turning off the lighting fixture) to the center device SV using the mobile phone MP, and after the control request message is held in the center device SV, the equipment device controller C1 or When polled from C1 ′, the center device SV transmits (transfers) the control request message received and held from the mobile phone MP to the equipment device controller C1 or C1 ′. In the equipment device controller C1 or C1 'that has received this control request message, the control unit 10 performs a control process for turning off the luminaire (facility equipment X2). Thereafter, the control unit 10 creates a control response message indicating that the lighting fixture (equipment device X2) is turned off, and returns the control response message to the center device SV. The control response message is transferred from the center device SV to the mobile phone MP, and the control response message transferred from the center device SV is displayed on the liquid crystal screen of the mobile phone MP. However, when it takes a considerable time (for example, several minutes) from sending the control request message to returning the control response message, a message indicating that the control request message has been received is sent from the center device SV to the mobile phone MP. It is desirable to send.

  By the way, in the above-described system, the Web server function of the center apparatus SV creates Web contents that provide general information such as weather information (weather forecast), traffic information, and fortune-telling information to each dwelling unit. It can be provided in response to a request from the display device SV provided in each dwelling unit. Also, it has a function of collecting history information of power consumption from each dwelling unit, performing statistical processing, and providing Web contents indicating the result of the statistical processing in response to a request from the display device SV provided in each dwelling unit. Yes.

  In the display device CV, the web contents provided by the center server SV, the controllers C1 (C1 ′) to C3, the integrated management device TM, and the display device CV are provided on the screen of the display unit 52. By displaying them simultaneously, a plurality of pieces of information can be browsed at once, and in order to facilitate information comparison, the Web browser of the control unit 50 displays Web content (referred to as center-side Web content) provided from the center device SV. In addition to performing a process for preliminarily securing a screen area to be displayed, Web contents (local Web contents) provided from local devices such as the controllers C1 (C1 ′) to C3 and the integrated management apparatus TM outside the screen area. The screen area to be displayed is set, and at the same time, the center side web content and the local side web content It has a function of performing display control to display the contents, and the display content is stored in the storage unit 54, the URL of the Web content (referred to as the base side URL) corresponding to the layout information of the screen provided by itself, and the display This is set based on the URLs of the center-side and local-side Web contents to be executed.

Thus, on the portal site screen provided by the integrated management device TM, the symbols corresponding to the three types of situations of going out, staying at home, and sleeping (for example, the button B1 displaying “outing”, “at home”, “sleeping”) are displayed. To B3) on the same screen as the local-side Web content shown in FIG. 8A and the center-side Web content (for example, center-side Web content providing weather information as shown in FIG. 8B). In the case of display, the control unit 50 reads out layout information corresponding to the URLs of these Web contents from the storage unit 54 and secures each screen area in this case, as shown in FIG. securing the content display screen area (II), the other screen region as a local side Web content display screen area (I), as shown in FIG. 8 (b) Both Web contents are simultaneously displayed on the display unit 52. This allows the user to obtain weather information and to perform button operations on the same screen, B4 and B5 in FIGS. Button B6 indicates a button for switching to the menu screen.

  By the way, in order for the center device SV to browse Web content that provides information that changes every moment, such as weather information, the control unit 50 accesses the URL of the center-side Web content stored in the storage unit 54. When a specific character (for example, <reload 60min>) registered in advance in the storage unit 54 is recognized from the character string of the Web content data distributed in this way, the Web content is displayed on the display unit 52, Based on 60 min of the character string, the process of accessing the URL of the same Web content is performed after 60 minutes, and the data of the center side Web content is received again. As a result, the latest Web content can be browsed on the display device CV.

  FIGS. 9A to 9C show an example in which Web content of weather information is updated every 6 hours.

  As such Web contents, there are Web contents such as fortune telling, slogans, headline news, seasonal background images, information on gasoline prices, etc. in addition to the above-mentioned weather forecast.

  Therefore, the following method may be adopted so that the user selects and displays general Web contents such as weather information, fortune telling, and traffic information described above.

  First, the weather information Web content as shown in FIG. 10A, the fortune telling Web content as shown in FIG. 10B, and the traffic information Web content as shown in FIG. When the Web server can be provided as the center-side Web content, the display device CV preliminarily displays URLs of preview screens corresponding to these Web content (for example, “http: //yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy/ preview1.html ”,“ http: //yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy/preview2.html ”,“ http: //yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy/preview3.html ”) are registered in the storage unit 54, and these The URL of the preview screen is acquired by accessing at a predetermined time interval by the control unit 50, and the acquired content of the preview screen is displayed in a screen area corresponding to the center-side Web content.

  When the user performs a touch operation on the displayed preview screen, based on the operation input information, the control unit 50 character string indicating the URL of the original Web content corresponding to the preview screen from the content data of the preview screen. Is extracted and stored in the storage unit 54. This character string is composed of a character string starting with, for example, REAL URL =. For example, in the case of the Web content of weather information as shown in FIG. 10A, <REAL URL = "http: //yyy.yyy .yyy.yyy / osaka_today.htm "> is included in the data, and the control unit 50 extracts the character string from the data and stores it in the storage unit 54. Thereafter, this URL is stored at regular time intervals. Access processing is performed. As a result, as shown in FIG. 10D, the weather information Web content is displayed on the same screen as the local Web content.

  When the user wants to view Web content other than the weather information Web content, the user only needs to touch the display screen of the displayed weather information Web content. In this case, the control unit 50 displays the operation input information. Based on this, after deleting the data of the URL “http: //yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy/osaka_today.htm” stored in the storage unit 54, the above-described processing for sequentially displaying the preview screen is performed. Do. When the preview screen corresponding to the desired Web content is displayed, if the user touches the display screen in the same manner as described above, the same processing as described above is performed, and the selected Web content is displayed. It is displayed in the screen area of the center side Web content of the unit 52.

  The URL of general center-side web content such as the weather information described above is stored in advance in the storage unit 54. For example, the center-side web content associated with the local-side web content information is used. In the case of displaying simultaneously, in this embodiment, the URL of the center side Web content corresponding to the local side Web content is not stored in advance, but the URL template of the center side Web content is stored in the storage unit 54. In addition, when accessing the URL of the corresponding local web content, the URL of the center web content associated with the local web content is generated by the template, and the generated URL is accessed. Yes.
