1-2. Operation Next, the operation of the database creation system 1 will be described. Specifically, first, the construction contractor of the fire alarm system 5 installs the fire receiver 51 in the building and then registers the property information in the property information DB 222 of the server 2 (hereinafter, the property information registration operation "" Will be described. This operation will be described in two ways: using a web page and using both an email and a web page. Next, an operation when the inspector of the fire alarm system 5 updates the terminal device information DB 5121 stored in the fire receiver 51 (hereinafter, referred to as “database update operation”) will be described.

1-2-1. Property information registration operation (when using a web page)
FIG. 12 is a sequence chart showing an example of a property information registration operation using a web page. When installing the fire receiver 51 in the building, the contractor of the fire alarm system 5 reads the two-dimensional code of the fire receiver 51 using the communication terminal 3 (step Sa1). The communication terminal 3 decodes the read two-dimensional code, and specifies the model name of the fire receiver 51, the year of manufacture, the manufacture number, and the URL of the server 2. Then, the communication terminal 3 requests the server 2 for the page specified by the URL (step Sa2). The page request includes information indicating the model name, the year of manufacture, and the serial number of the fire receiver 51 identified by decoding the two-dimensional code.

  When the server 2 receives the page request from the communication terminal 3, the server 2 transmits screen data indicating a login screen to the communication terminal 3 (step Sa3). This login screen has input fields for entering an ID and a password. When the communication terminal 3 receives the screen data from the server 2, the communication terminal 3 displays a login screen on the display unit 33 and waits for the user to input an ID and a password. When receiving the input of the ID and the password from the user (step Sa4), the communication terminal 3 notifies the server 2 of the input ID and password (step Sa5).

  When receiving the notification of the ID and the password from the communication terminal 3, the server 2 performs user authentication (step Sa6). Specifically, the server 2 determines whether the combination of the ID and the password notified from the communication terminal 3 is registered in the user information DB 221 (in other words, whether the user is a qualified person or not). . As a result of this determination, when the combination of the ID and the password is registered in the user information DB 221, the server 2 recognizes that the user of the communication terminal 3 is a user having an access right, and displays the property information input screen. The screen data is transmitted to the communication terminal 3 (step Sa7). On the other hand, as a result of the determination, when the combination of the ID and the password is not registered in the user information DB 221, the server 2 rejects the access of the user of the communication terminal 3 to the property information DB 222.

  When the communication terminal 3 receives screen data from the server 2, the communication terminal 3 causes the display unit 33 to display a property information input screen, and waits for the user to input property information. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a property information input screen. The screen shown in the figure includes input fields F1 to F4 for inputting user information, property information, fire receiver information, and remarks. Specifically, as user information, "company name", "registration date", "person in charge name", "company phone number", "company email address", "person in charge phone number" and "person in charge email address" Have an input field F1 for inputting. In addition, it has an input field F2 for inputting "property name", "zip code", "prefecture", "city" and "post address" as property information. Further, it has an input field F3 for inputting "type name" and "production number" as fire receiver information. The screen also has a "register" button B1 and a "cancel" button B2, and when the register button B1 is selected, the input information is transmitted to the server 2.

  The user information and the fire receiver information may be input in advance in the server 2 before the screen data indicating the property information input screen is transmitted to the communication terminal 3. This is because the user data is already registered in the user information DB 221 before the screen data is transmitted to the communication terminal 3 for user information, and the fire receiver information is transmitted from the communication terminal 3 to the server 2 in step Sa2 described above. It is because it is notified to.

  When receiving the input of the information by the user (step Sa8), the communication terminal 3 transmits the input information to the server 2 (step Sa9). When the server 2 receives the input information from the communication terminal 3, the server 2 registers the input information in the property information DB 222 (step Sa10). Specifically, the server 2 corresponds property information (specifically, a property name and an address) inputted by the user and fire receiver information (specifically, a model name, a manufacturing year and a manufacturing number). Then, it stores in the property information DB 222. In the present embodiment, information of both the property name and the address is transmitted from the communication terminal 3 to the server 2 as the identification information of the property, but only one of them may be transmitted.

  According to the operation described above, the property information DB 222 of the server 2 can be accessed by reading the two-dimensional code of the fire receiver 51 by the communication terminal 3, so when registering property information in the property information DB 222, The burden on the user such as inputting the URL of the server 2 is eliminated.

1-2-2. Property information registration operation (when using email and web page)
FIG. 14 is a sequence chart showing an example of a property information registration operation using mail and a web page. When installing the fire receiver 51 in the building, the contractor of the fire alarm system 5 reads the two-dimensional code of the fire receiver 51 using the communication terminal 3 (step Sb1). The communication terminal 3 decodes the read two-dimensional code to specify the type name of the fire receiver 51, the year of manufacture and the serial number, and the mail address of the server 2. In this operation using mail, instead of the URL of the server 2, the mail address of the server 2 is encoded in a two-dimensional code. Then, the communication terminal 3 transmits an e-mail requesting a URL of the property information input screen to the server 2 (step Sb2). In this mail, information indicating the model name, the year of manufacture, and the serial number of the fire receiver 51 specified by decrypting the two-dimensional code is described.

  When the server 2 receives an e-mail from the communication terminal 3, the server 2 performs user authentication (step Sb3). Specifically, server 2 determines whether a mail address indicating a transmission source described in the mail received from communication terminal 3 is registered in user information DB 221 (in other words, whether the user is a qualified person or not). To determine As a result of this determination, when the e-mail address is registered in the user information DB 221, the server 2 recognizes that the user of the communication terminal 3 is the user having the access right, and describes the URL of the property information input screen The mail is transmitted to the communication terminal 3 (step Sb4). On the other hand, when the mail address is not registered in the user information DB 221 as a result of this determination, the server 2 rejects the access to the property information DB 222 by the user of the communication terminal 3.

  When the communication terminal 3 receives an e-mail from the server 2 and receives an operation of selecting a URL described in the e-mail from the user, the communication terminal 3 transmits a page request for requesting a page specified by the URL to the server 2 Step Sb5). When the server 2 receives the page request from the communication terminal 3, the server 2 transmits screen data indicating a property information input screen to the communication terminal 3 (step Sa7). The processes after this process are the same as steps Sa7 to Sa10 shown in FIG.

  According to the operation described above, the two-dimensional code of the fire receiver 51 is read by the communication terminal 3 to transmit an e-mail to the server 2, and the property described in the reply e-mail is selected to select the property of the server 2. Since the information DB 222 can be accessed, the burden on the user such as inputting the URL of the server 2 when registering the property information in the property information DB 222 is eliminated. In addition, since user authentication is performed based on the user's e-mail address, the input of the ID and the password is omitted as compared with the operation using only the web page described above.

1-2-3. Database Update Operation FIG. 15 is a sequence chart showing an example of the database update operation. In this operation, the inspector of the fire alarm system 5 edits the terminal device information DB 223 stored on the server 2 using the communication terminal 3, and is stored in the fire receiver 51 based on the edited data. The terminal device information DB 5121 is updated.

  First, the communication terminal 3 transmits a page request to the server 2 (step Sc1). When the server 2 receives the page request from the communication terminal 3, the server 2 transmits screen data indicating a login screen to the communication terminal 3 (step Sc2). This login screen has input fields for entering an ID and a password. When the communication terminal 3 receives the screen data from the server 2, the communication terminal 3 displays a login screen on the display unit 33 and waits for the user to input an ID and a password. When receiving the input of the ID and the password from the user (step Sc3), the communication terminal 3 notifies the server 2 of the input ID and password (step Sc4).

  When receiving the notification of the ID and the password from the communication terminal 3, the server 2 performs user authentication (step Sc5). Specifically, the server 2 determines whether the combination of the ID and the password notified from the communication terminal 3 is registered in the user information DB 221 (in other words, whether the user is a qualified person or not). . As a result of this determination, when the combination of the ID and the password is registered in the user information DB 221, the server 2 recognizes that the user of the communication terminal 3 is a user having the access right, and a screen showing a property search screen The data is transmitted to the communication terminal 3 (step Sc6). The property search screen has an input field for inputting a property name or a serial number of the fire receiver 51 as a search key. On the other hand, when the combination of the ID and the password is not registered in the user information DB 221 as a result of the above determination, the server 2 rejects the access of the user of the communication terminal 3 to the terminal device information DB 5121.

  When the communication terminal 3 receives the screen data from the server 2, the communication terminal 3 displays a property search screen on the display unit 33 and waits for the user to input a search key. When receiving the search key input by the user (step Sc7), the communication terminal 3 notifies the server 2 of the input search key (step Sc8). When receiving the notification of the search key from the communication terminal 3, the server 2 specifies the table corresponding to the notified search key in the terminal device information DB 223 (step Sc9). For example, if the search key notified from the communication terminal 3 is the property name “E building” or the serial number “2001” of the fire receiver 51 (see FIG. 8), the server 2 is shown in FIG. Identify the table for the property name "E Building".

  When the table is specified, the server 2 generates screen data indicating the editing screen based on the specified table, and transmits the screen data to the communication terminal 3 (step Sc10). FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of the editing screen.
