Description

本発明は、ビル等の通路や部屋に設置され、非常時にビル内の人を非常口へ導くための防災照明システムに関する。   The present invention relates to a disaster prevention lighting system that is installed in a passage or room of a building or the like and guides a person in the building to an emergency exit in an emergency.

ビルの通路や部屋に設置される非常灯や誘導灯といった防災照明器具は、通常時は商用電源の給電を受けて光源を点灯させると共に、２次電池を充電させておき、停電等の非常時に商用電源の給電が停止したとき、２次電池を電源として一定期間光源を点灯させ、非常時にビル内の非常口へ導く。このように、非常時に正常に光源を点灯させるには、２次電池等が正常に機能しているかを定期的に点検しておくことが重要である。   Emergency lighting fixtures such as emergency lights and guide lights installed in passageways and rooms of buildings are usually powered by a commercial power supply and the light source is turned on, and the secondary battery is charged, and in the event of an emergency such as a power outage When the commercial power supply is stopped, the secondary battery is used as a power source to turn on the light source for a certain period of time and guide it to the emergency exit in the building in an emergency. Thus, in order to turn on the light source normally in an emergency, it is important to periodically check whether the secondary battery or the like is functioning normally.

従来から、上記のような防災照明器具の点検において、その作業負担を軽減する防災照明システムが知られている。例えば、特許文献１に示される防災照明システムは、防災照明器具の定期点検作業の際に、リモコン送信機から擬似的な停電信号を送信して、点検対象となる防災照明器具を所定時間、非常点灯モードとする。また、防災照明器具は、バッテリー電圧やランプ点灯状態を点検情報として記憶する記憶装置を備え、この点検情報をリモコン送信機に返信してリモコン送信機に備えられた表示部に表示することにより、ユーザが容易に防災照明器具の点検情報を取得できるようにしている。
特開２００３−９２０１３号公報 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is known a disaster prevention lighting system that reduces the work load in the inspection of the disaster prevention lighting apparatus as described above. For example, the disaster prevention lighting system disclosed in Patent Document 1 transmits a pseudo power failure signal from a remote control transmitter during a periodic inspection operation of the disaster prevention lighting equipment, Set to lighting mode. In addition, the disaster prevention lighting fixture includes a storage device that stores the battery voltage and the lamp lighting state as inspection information, and returns the inspection information to the remote control transmitter to display it on the display unit provided in the remote control transmitter. The user can easily obtain inspection information on the disaster prevention lighting fixture.
JP 2003-92013 A

しかしながら、上記特許文献１に示された防災照明システムにおいて、防災照明器具は、リモコン送受信機からの点検信号を受信して、点検を実行した後、その点検結果を赤外線通信により返信するため、別途の赤外線リモコン送信部が必要となり、システムがコスト高となる。また、赤外線は指向性が高いので、一般に防災照明器具から送信される赤外線信号の受信可能エリアは狭く、ユーザが所定の受信可能エリアにリモコン送受信機を移動させて点検を行わなければならない。更に、防災照明器具から送信される点検結果を含む信号は、リモコン送受信機から送信される点検開始信号に比べてデータ量が多く、ある程度の受信時間が確保されなければ正常に受信されないので、赤外線通信による点検結果の送受信は作業効率の低下を招く。防災照明器具からリモコン送受信機に対する通信手段として、電波を用いると、作業効率は向上するが、電波による送受信回路は複雑であり、システムがコスト高となる。   However, in the disaster prevention lighting system disclosed in Patent Document 1, the disaster prevention lighting apparatus receives an inspection signal from the remote control transceiver and executes the inspection, and then returns the inspection result by infrared communication. Infrared remote control transmitter is required, which increases the cost of the system. Moreover, since infrared rays have high directivity, the receivable area of infrared signals transmitted from disaster prevention lighting fixtures is generally narrow, and the user must move the remote control transceiver to a predetermined receivable area for inspection. Furthermore, the signal including the inspection result transmitted from the disaster prevention lighting fixture has a larger amount of data than the inspection start signal transmitted from the remote control transceiver, and is not normally received unless a certain reception time is secured. Transmission / reception of inspection results by communication causes a reduction in work efficiency. When radio waves are used as communication means from the disaster prevention lighting fixture to the remote control transceiver, the work efficiency is improved, but the radio transmission / reception circuit is complicated and the system becomes expensive.

また、従来の防災照明システムでは、リモコン送受信機で防災照明器具ごとの点検結果を受信し、これを紙等に控える又はメモリカード等の記憶媒体に記憶させておき、その情報を収集していた。そのため、多数の防災照明器具が設置された施設等において、防災照明器具の点検が行われるときには、ユーザは多数の点検情報の収集や管理といった面倒な作業を行う必要があった。   Moreover, in the conventional disaster prevention lighting system, the remote control transmitter / receiver receives the inspection result for each disaster prevention lighting fixture, and records it on a storage medium such as a memory card, which is recorded on paper or the like. . Therefore, when a disaster prevention lighting device is inspected in a facility where a large number of disaster prevention lighting devices are installed, the user has to perform troublesome operations such as collection and management of a large number of inspection information.

本発明は、上記課題を解決するものであり、赤外線通信によらず、ユーザが防災照明器具の点検結果情報を効率的に収集・管理することができる防災照明システムを提供することを目的とする。   This invention solves the said subject, and it aims at providing the disaster prevention lighting system which a user can collect and manage the inspection result information of a disaster prevention lighting fixture efficiently irrespective of infrared communication. .

以下、本実施形態の防災照明システム１の動作について上述の図面を参照して説明する。ユーザが携帯端末機器３の点検操作部３２を操作すると、点検開始送信部３１から点検開始信号（図中白抜き矢印）が送信される。この防災照明器具２の点検開始受信部８１は、点検開始信号を受信すると、点検制御部８２に光源４、点灯回路部５及び給電部７等に異常がないかを点検させる。点検制御部８２は点検結果情報を可視光送信部８３に送り、可視光送信部８３は、点検結果情報に基づく調光制御信号を点灯制御部６に出力して、点灯回路部５を介して光源４に可視光信号（図中点描パターン矢印）を送信させる。   Hereinafter, operation | movement of the disaster prevention lighting system 1 of this embodiment is demonstrated with reference to the above-mentioned drawing. When the user operates the inspection operation unit 32 of the mobile terminal device 3, an inspection start signal (a white arrow in the figure) is transmitted from the inspection start transmission unit 31. Upon receiving the inspection start signal, the inspection start receiving unit 81 of the disaster prevention lighting device 2 causes the inspection control unit 82 to inspect whether the light source 4, the lighting circuit unit 5, the power feeding unit 7, etc. are normal. The inspection control unit 82 sends inspection result information to the visible light transmission unit 83, and the visible light transmission unit 83 outputs a dimming control signal based on the inspection result information to the lighting control unit 6, and passes through the lighting circuit unit 5. A visible light signal (stipple pattern arrow in the figure) is transmitted to the light source 4.

携帯端末機器３の可視光受信部３４が、光源４からの可視光信号を受信すると、携帯端末制御部３３は、受信信号から点検結果情報を読み取り、これを表示部３５に表示する。   When the visible light receiving unit 34 of the mobile terminal device 3 receives the visible light signal from the light source 4, the mobile terminal control unit 33 reads the inspection result information from the received signal and displays it on the display unit 35.

上述のように、本実施形態の防災照明器具２は、光源４からの可視光信号により、点検結果情報を携帯端末機器３へ送信するので、従来の防災照明器具のように、赤外線リモコン用ＬＥＤといった別途の赤外線送信部を設ける必要がなく、防災照明器具２を安価とすることができる。また、光源４の光出力は赤外線リモコン用ＬＥＤよりも大きく、また、光源４から出射される光の照射範囲も広いので、携帯端末機器３は安定して点検結果情報を受信することができ、ユーザの点検作業効率も向上する。   As described above, the disaster prevention lighting device 2 of the present embodiment transmits the inspection result information to the mobile terminal device 3 by the visible light signal from the light source 4, so that the infrared remote control LED is used like the conventional disaster prevention lighting device. There is no need to provide a separate infrared transmitter, and the disaster prevention lighting device 2 can be made inexpensive. Moreover, since the light output of the light source 4 is larger than that of the infrared remote control LED and the irradiation range of the light emitted from the light source 4 is wide, the mobile terminal device 3 can stably receive the inspection result information, The user's inspection work efficiency is also improved.

なお、本実施形態の防災照明器具２では、可視光送信部８３が必要となるが、これは既存の点検制御部８２又は点灯制御部６等を構成するマイコンに可視光通信用のソフトウェアを追加することで実現できるので、可視光送信部８３の追加によるコストアップはほとんどない。また、携帯端末機器３も、汎用の携帯電話に防災照明器具２の点検作業用のソフトウェアをインストールしたものが用いられるので、防災照明システム１全体のコストダウンを図ることができる。   In addition, in the disaster prevention lighting fixture 2 of this embodiment, although the visible light transmission part 83 is required, this adds the software for visible light communication to the microcomputer which comprises the existing inspection control part 82 or the lighting control part 6 grade | etc., Therefore, there is almost no cost increase due to the addition of the visible light transmitter 83. Moreover, since the thing which installed the software for the inspection work of the disaster prevention lighting fixture 2 to the general purpose mobile phone is used also for the portable terminal device 3, the cost reduction of the disaster prevention lighting system 1 whole can be aimed at.

次に本発明の第２の実施形態に係る防災照明システムについて、図３及び図４を参照して説明する。本実施形態に係る防災照明システム１は、携帯端末機器３がインターネット等の上位ネットワークとのインタフェース部３６を備え、携帯端末機器３が受信した点検結果情報を上位ネットワークを経由して外部サーバ９へ送信可能とした点が、上記第１の実施形態と異なる。   Next, a disaster prevention lighting system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the disaster prevention lighting system 1 according to the present embodiment, the mobile terminal device 3 includes an interface unit 36 with an upper network such as the Internet, and the inspection result information received by the mobile terminal device 3 is transmitted to the external server 9 via the upper network. It differs from the first embodiment in that transmission is possible.

インタフェース部３６は、上位ネットワークとのインターフェース回路等から成り、例えば、無線ＬＡＮ（ＩＥＥＥ８０２.１１ｂ等）等の上位ネットワークを介してインターネットに接続可能となっている。また、携帯端末機器３として、携帯電話が用いられるときは、携帯電話網からインターネットに接続される。   The interface unit 36 includes an interface circuit with an upper network, and can be connected to the Internet via an upper network such as a wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b). When a mobile phone is used as the mobile terminal device 3, the mobile terminal device 3 is connected to the Internet from the mobile phone network.

外部サーバ９は、汎用のパソコン等が用いられ、パソコン等でイーサネット（登録商標）等の上位ネットワークに接続可能となっている。外部サーバ９は、複数の携帯端末機器３から送信された各防災照明器具２の点検結果を集計し、点検日時や点検内容、点検結果、次回の点検日時等を表示し、点検結果のレポート印刷、集計データの保存を行う。   The external server 9 is a general-purpose personal computer or the like, and can be connected to an upper network such as Ethernet (registered trademark) by a personal computer or the like. The external server 9 tabulates the inspection results of each disaster prevention lighting device 2 transmitted from a plurality of portable terminal devices 3, displays the inspection date and time, the inspection content, the inspection result, the next inspection date, etc., and prints the inspection result report Save the summary data.

従来の防災照明システムでは、多数の防災照明器具が設置された施設等において、防災照明器具の点検が行うとき、ユーザは多数の点検情報の収集や管理といった面倒な作業を行う必要があった。それに対し、本本実施形態の防災照明システム１では、携帯端末機器３がインタフェース部３６を備えているので、無線ＬＡＮや携帯電話通信網等を介して携帯端末機器３をインターネットに接続し、同じくインターネットに接続された外部サーバ９に対して多数の点検結果情報を送信して、自動的に点検結果の集計等が行われるように設定することができる。特に、複数の作業者が、夫々携帯端末機器３を用いて多数の防災照明器具２の点検を行うようなとき、夫々の点検結果情報をインターネットを介して自動的に外部サーバ９に収集することができるので、防災照明器具２の点検効率が大幅に向上する。   In a conventional disaster prevention lighting system, when a disaster prevention lighting apparatus is inspected in a facility where a large number of disaster prevention lighting apparatuses are installed, the user has to perform troublesome operations such as collection and management of a lot of inspection information. In contrast, in the disaster prevention lighting system 1 of the present embodiment, since the mobile terminal device 3 includes the interface unit 36, the mobile terminal device 3 is connected to the Internet via a wireless LAN, a mobile phone communication network, and the like. A large number of inspection result information can be transmitted to the external server 9 connected to, so that the inspection results can be automatically tabulated. In particular, when a plurality of workers inspect a large number of disaster prevention lighting fixtures 2 using the mobile terminal device 3, the respective inspection result information is automatically collected on the external server 9 via the Internet. Therefore, the inspection efficiency of the disaster prevention lighting device 2 is greatly improved.

なお、本発明は、防災照明器具２に備えられた光源４から出力される可視光信号により、点検結果情報を送信するものであれば、上記構成に限られることなく種々の変形が可能である。また、光源４から出力される可視光信号は、上述した点検結果情報を送信するだけでなく、例えば、災害時には、携帯端末機器３を所持する人に対して非難情報等を送信するものであってもよい。   Note that the present invention is not limited to the above configuration and can be variously modified as long as the inspection result information is transmitted by a visible light signal output from the light source 4 provided in the disaster prevention lighting fixture 2. . In addition, the visible light signal output from the light source 4 not only transmits the above-described inspection result information, but also transmits blame information or the like to a person possessing the mobile terminal device 3 at the time of a disaster, for example. May be.
