  The whole structure of the elevator remote monitoring system 100 in the first embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the remote monitoring system 100 concentrates the operation status and failure status of elevators 1A, 2A, 3A installed in a plurality of buildings 1, 2, 3 and elevators 1A, 2A, 3A. State information communication devices 1B, 2B, and 4c acquire state information on occurrences of abnormalities such as faults in the monitoring center 4 to be monitored and the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A, and passenger confinement, and transmitting this state information to the monitoring center 4 3B, a portable communication terminal 6 for transmitting and receiving state information between the public network 5 used to communicate between the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A and the monitoring center 4 and the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A, For example, the mobile communication terminal 6 such as a smartphone or a personal computer is provided.

  In the remote monitoring system 100, the monitoring center 4 centrally monitors the operation status and failure status of the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A through the public network 5. Therefore, for example, when an abnormality such as a failure or confinement of a passenger occurs in the elevator 1A, status information regarding the abnormality or confinement of the passenger is transmitted to the monitoring center 4 through the public network 5 and the monitoring center 4 to the elevator maintenance management company Dispatch of maintenance personnel is requested.

  In the area where elevator 1A is installed, a large-scale disaster such as an earthquake occurs and public communication network 5 is congested and communication becomes difficult, or a base station of public communication network 5 is damaged, a power failure occurs. When the public network 5 can not be used due to the communication, that is, when the elevator 1A and the monitoring center 4 can not communicate, the state information of the elevator 1A is transferred to another elevator 2A using the mobile communication terminal 6. introduce.

  The portable communication terminal 6 receives the state information of the elevator 1A from the elevator 1A when the mobile communication terminal 6 is in the vicinity of the elevator 1A. Then, when the mobile communication terminal 6 moves to the vicinity of the elevator 2A that can use the public network 5, the state information of the elevator 1A is transmitted to the elevator 2A. The elevator 2A transmits the status information of the elevator 1A received from the mobile communication terminal 6 to the monitoring center 4 through the public network 5. The details of transmission / reception control of state information when the elevator 1A can not communicate with the monitoring center 4 will be described later.

  Next, details of the state information communication devices 1B, 2B and 3B will be described with reference to FIG. The elevators 1A, 2A, 3A are provided with state information communication devices 1B, 2B, 3B for transmitting state information such as abnormality of the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A or confinement of passengers to the monitoring center 4, respectively. The state information communication devices 1B, 2B, and 3B have the same configuration and perform the same control. Therefore, the state information communication device 1B will be described below.

  The concrete structure of the state information communication apparatus 1B is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the state information communication apparatus 1B transmits state information of the elevator 1A from the control unit 1a of the elevator 1A to the monitoring center 4 and state information of the elevator 1A to the monitoring center 4 Unit 12, state information storage unit 13 for storing state information of elevator 1A, state information transmission unit 14 for transmitting state information of elevator 1A to portable communication terminal 6, and state information of other elevators 2A and 3A are carried A state information receiving unit 15 to be received from the communication terminal 6 is provided.

  The state information acquisition unit 11 is connected to the control unit 1a of the elevator 1A by a signal line, and acquires, from the control unit 1a of the elevator 1A, state information on an abnormality such as a failure occurring in the elevator 1A or confinement of passengers. . An example of this state information is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the status information of the elevator 1A includes an elevator ID identifying the elevator 1A, position information where the elevator 1A is installed, an elevator status indicating whether the status of the elevator 1A is normal or abnormal, and information acquisition It is configured as a status information record D1 including presence / absence information of passengers in the car at the time, flag information indicating whether or not the status information has been notified to the monitoring center 4, and the like. In addition, information other than these may be included.

  Further, for information communication between the elevator 1A and the status information acquisition unit 11, for example, wireless LAN, near field communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark), Ethernet (registered trademark), RS-232C, RS-422, RS A communication cable defined by a communication standard such as-485 or USB may be used.

  The monitoring communication unit 12 is connected to the state information acquisition unit 11, and transmits the state information acquired by the state information acquisition unit 11 to the monitoring center 4 through the public network 5. Further, as described above, the monitoring communication unit 12 transmits the status information to the monitoring center 4 through the public line network 5 when the public line network 5 can be used, but when the public line network 5 can not be used. , And outputs an instruction to enable the transmission function to the state information transmission unit 14.

  A state information acquisition unit 11, a state information transmission unit 14, and a state information reception unit 15 are connected to the state information storage unit 13. The state information storage unit 13 has a state information record unit D as a storage area for storing the state information record D1. The state information storage unit 13 stores the state information of the elevator 1A acquired by the state information acquisition unit 11 in the state information record unit D. In addition, when the state information receiving unit 15 receives state information of the other elevators 2A and 3A, the state information storage unit 13 satisfies the relationship between the elevator 1A and the other elevators 2A and 3A, which satisfies the predetermined condition. The state information of the elevators 2A and 3A is also accumulated in the state information recording section D.

  The state information transmission unit 14 has a function of transmitting the state information stored in the state information storage unit 13 to the mobile communication terminal 6. When the public network 5 can be used, the state information transmitting unit 14 has its transmitting function disabled, and when the public network 5 can not be used, the transmitting function is enabled according to an instruction from the monitoring communication unit 12. Make it

  The state information receiving unit 15 receives state information of the other elevators 2A and 3A from the portable communication terminal 6. For communication between the state information transmission unit 14 and the state information reception unit 15 and the mobile communication terminal 6, for example, near field communication such as wireless LAN or Bluetooth (registered trademark) is used. In addition, the detailed control content regarding the monitoring communication part 12, the state information transmission part 14, and the state information receiving part 15 is mentioned later.

  The mobile communication terminal 6 has a near field wireless communication function, and a communication application for communicating with the state information transmission unit 14 and the state information reception unit 15 is installed in advance. This communication application stores the communication control with the state information transmission unit 14 and the state information reception unit 15 and the state information communicated with the state information transmission unit 14 and the state information reception unit 15 temporarily in the mobile communication terminal 6 Control and do. It is preferable that the communication application be incorporated into another application that can be used at the time of a large scale disaster such as an earthquake, and that the communication application be downloaded in advance to the mobile communication terminal 6 used by a general user.

  Next, acquisition of state information of the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A and transmission of the state information to the monitoring center 4 will be described. First, FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of acquisition control of state information of the elevator 1A.

  In step S101 of the flowchart of FIG. 4, the state information acquisition unit 11 acquires an elapsed time since the previous acquisition of state information from the elevator 1A, and compares this elapsed time with a predetermined time set in advance, It is determined whether the elapsed time has exceeded a predetermined time. If the elapsed time exceeds the predetermined time (Yes), the process proceeds to step S102. If the elapsed time does not exceed the predetermined time (No), the elapsed time is counted and the process returns.

  In step S102, the latest state information from the elevator 1A, that is, from the control unit 1a of the elevator 1A, state information such as whether an abnormality has occurred in the elevator 1A or whether there is confinement of a passenger or the like is acquired. move on.

  In step S103, the acquired latest state information is accumulated in the state information accumulation unit 13. That is, the state information stored in the state information storage unit 13 is updated to the latest state information. Therefore, the state information stored in the state information storage unit 13 is always the latest state information. As shown in FIG. 3, in the state information record D1, the information of each item of the elevator state, the passenger presence / absence, and the flag information is updated. Here, the elevator status is "abnormal", the presence or absence of passengers is "presence", and the notification to the monitoring center 4 is "not yet".

  Next, communication control to the monitoring center 4 of status information of the elevator 1A is shown in FIG. In step S201 of the flowchart of FIG. 5, the state information communication device 1B confirms the state information record section D of the state information storage unit 13 at a predetermined cycle, and proceeds to step S202.

  In step S202, the status information record section D is confirmed, and the notification (flag information) to the monitoring center 4 is "not", the elevator status is "abnormal", or the passenger presence or absence is "present". Determine if there is status information. Here, as in the state information record D1 shown in FIG. 3, the elevator status is “abnormal”, the passenger presence / absence is “present”, and the notification to the monitoring center 4 is “not yet” (Yes), step S203 Go to Also, if there is no such state information (No), the process returns.

  In step S203, the monitoring communication unit 12 transmits the corresponding status information to the monitoring center 4 using the public network 5, and the process proceeds to step S204. In step S204, transmission to the monitoring center 4 is successful. Confirm.

  When the status information is transmitted from the monitoring communication unit 12 to the monitoring center 4, the monitoring center 4 returns a signal indicating that the transmission is successful to the monitoring communication unit 12. If there is no reply, the monitoring communication unit 12 retries transmission to the monitoring center 4 a predetermined number of times. If there is still no reply from the monitoring center 4, it is determined that transmission from the monitoring communication unit 12 to the monitoring center 4 has failed. As a factor of transmission failure, for example, there is the occurrence of a large-scale disaster such as an earthquake. When the public network 5 is congested and communication becomes difficult due to the occurrence of a large-scale disaster, the base station of the public network 5 may be damaged or a power failure may occur, and the public network 5 may not be used. In addition, even if a large-scale disaster does not occur, transmission to the monitoring center 4 can not be performed due to a failure of the communication device of the monitoring communication unit 12 or the like.

  Then, when transmission from the monitor communication unit 12 to the monitor center 4 is successful (Yes), the process proceeds to step S205, and the notification (flag information) to the monitor center 4 of the state information is updated to "done", and step S206. Go to

  In step S206, the transmission function of the state information transmission unit 14 is invalidated, and the process returns. That is, since the monitoring communication unit 12 of the elevator 1A can normally transmit the state information to the monitoring center 4, the state information communication device 1B does not need to transmit the state information to the mobile communication terminal 6. On the other hand, when transmission from the monitor communication unit 12 to the monitor center 4 fails (No), the process proceeds to step S207, the transmission function of the state information transmission unit 14 is validated, and the process returns.

  Next, transmission control of the state information transmission unit 14 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the transmission function of the state information transmission unit 14 is enabled by the monitoring communication unit 12 in step S207 of FIG. 5, the state information transmission unit 14 performs communication in the vicinity of the elevator 1A in step S301 of the flowchart of FIG. The search for the mobile communication terminal 6 in which the application is installed is started, and the process proceeds to step S302. That is, among the mobile communication terminals 6 owned by a passerby passing near the elevator 1A, the mobile communication terminal 6 in which the communication application is installed is searched.

  In step S302, when the communicable mobile communication terminal 6 is found based on the search result of the mobile communication terminal 6 (Yes), the process proceeds to step S303, and the state information is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 6. At this time, when a plurality of mobile communication terminals 6 are found, state information is transmitted to all the mobile communication terminals 6. When the mobile communication terminal 6 receives the state information from the state information transmitting unit 14, the mobile communication terminal 6 stores the state information. Also, if the communicable mobile communication terminal 6 is not found (No), the process returns.

  Then, as shown by a broken line in FIG. 1, a passer-by who owns the mobile communication terminal 6 moves from the afflicted elevator 1A to the area where the afflicted elevator 2A is. That is, the mobile communication terminal 6 moves from the afflicted elevator 1A to the undisturbed elevator 2A by the movement for the passers-by in the afflicted area to evacuate the afflicted area to an area not afflicted.

  In this case, if the number of the mobile communication terminals 6 storing the state information of the elevator 1A is small, the probability that the mobile communication terminal 6 moves from the elevator 1A to the elevator 2A is low, but the mobile information storing the state information of the elevator 1A By increasing the number of communication terminals 6, that is, transmitting the status information of the elevator 1A to a large number of mobile communication terminals 6, it is possible to improve the probability that the mobile communication terminals 6 move from the elevator 1A to the elevator 2A. .

  Next, control of the state information receiving unit 15 of the elevator 2A will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 7 and the schematic view of FIG. FIG. 8 shows a state in which the elevators 1A and 3A can not use the public line network 5, and the elevator 2A receives state information from the elevators 1A and 3A.

  In step S401 in FIG. 7, the state information receiving unit 15 of the elevator 2A detects the presence or absence of communication from the portable communication terminal 6 located in the vicinity of the elevator 2A, that is, in the short distance wireless communication area of the state information receiving unit 15. Then, the process proceeds to step S402.

  In step S402, it is checked whether the detected mobile communication terminal 6 stores the state information of the other elevators 1A and 3A, and if the state information is stored, the state information is received, The process proceeds to step S403.

  In step S403, the elevator 1A, 3A position information is read out from the position information of the state information records D1, D3 of the elevators 1A, 3A and compared with the position information of the elevator 2A.

  As shown in FIG. 8, based on the position information of elevators 1A, 2A, 3A, the position of elevator 1A is within a circular area of radius R as a predetermined range (for example, a radius of 5 Km) centered on the position of elevator 2A. If (Yes), the process proceeds to step S404, the state information of the elevator 1A is stored in the state information storage unit 13 of the elevator 2A, and the information of the state information record unit D in the state information storage unit 13 is updated. Moreover, the information of the updated state information record part D in the state information storage part 13 of the elevator 2A is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, in the state information storage unit 13 of the elevator 2A, the state information record D1 of the elevator 1A is added in addition to the state information record D2 of the elevator 2A.

  On the other hand, when the position of the elevator 3A is out of the circular area centered on the position of the elevator 2A (No), the state information of the elevator 3A is not stored in the state information storage unit 13 of the elevator 2A and returns. That is, when elevators 1A and 3A are located in the predetermined range in elevator 2A, the state information on elevators 1A and 3A is accumulated in state information accumulation part 13 of elevator 2A.

  Thereafter, in the area where the elevator 2A is located, since the public network 5 is usable, the control of steps S201 to S206 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 is performed. As a result, the state information of the elevator 1A is transmitted to the monitoring center 4 via the monitoring communication unit 12 of the elevator 2A. The monitoring center 4 determines that dispatch of maintenance personnel to the elevator 1A is necessary based on the state information of the elevator 1A, and requests the dispatch of maintenance personnel from the monitoring center 4 to the elevator maintenance management company.

  Thus, when transmitting status information of the elevator 1A that can not use the public network 5 to the monitoring center 4 via the elevator 2A that can use the public network 5, the status of the elevator 1A located near the elevator 2A Since only the information is sent together to the monitoring center 4, the monitoring center 4 can collectively determine the elevator status information located in the predetermined range, and maintenance personnel, abnormalities and passenger confinement have occurred It can dispatch to elevator 1A efficiently. That is, when the elevator 2A receives the state information from the other elevators 1A, 3A, it limits the accumulation of the state information of the elevator 3A at a position away from the elevator 2A. It can be collected.

  Further, even when the mobile communication terminal 6 moves to the vicinity of the plurality of elevators 1A, 2A, 3A, the accumulation of the state information of the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A outside the predetermined range is limited, so the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A It is possible to suppress the diffusion of state information of As a result, maintenance personnel can be dispatched corresponding to the predetermined range, and elevator abnormality can be promptly dealt with. Further, even when transmission to the monitoring center 4 can not be performed due to a failure or the like of the communication device of the monitoring communication unit 12, the state information can be transmitted to the monitoring center 4.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the first embodiment, accumulation of state information is restricted based on the position information of the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A, but in the second embodiment, based on the group ID of the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A. It limits the accumulation of status information.

  The remote monitoring system 100 according to the second embodiment is the same as the remote monitoring system 100 according to the first embodiment in configuration and part of the control is different, so different control will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the second embodiment, “group ID” is in the item of the state information record D2. The group ID is an ID for classifying each elevator 1A, 2A, 3A into a predetermined group. For example, the maintenance worker A classifies the group ID in charge of elevator maintenance as "AAAA", and the maintenance worker B is an elevator Group ID in charge of maintenance is classified as "BBBB". FIG. 13 shows that the elevator 2A is classified into the group ID "AAAA".

  In the flowchart of FIG. 10, steps S501, S502, and S504 are the same as steps S401, S402, and S404 of FIG. Then, in step S503 in FIG. 10, the state information receiving unit 15 reads out the group ID of the elevators 1A and 3A and compares it with the group ID of the elevator 2A.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the group ID "AAAA" of the elevator 2A and the group ID "AAAA" of the elevator 1A are the same group ID based on the group ID of the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A (Yes), step S504. The state information of the elevator 1A is stored in the state information storage unit 13 of the elevator 2A, and the information of the state information record unit D in the state information storage unit 13 is updated. The information of the state information record part D updated in the state information storage part 13 of the elevator 2A is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 13, in the state information storage unit 13 of the elevator 2A, the state information record D1 of the elevator 1A is added in addition to the state information record D2 of the elevator 2A.

  On the other hand, when the group ID “BBBB” of the elevator 3A is different from the group ID “AAAA” of the elevator 2A (No), the state information of the elevator 3A is not stored in the state information storage unit 13 of the elevator 2A.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A are permitted to individually accumulate the status information of the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A by giving the group ID to the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A. It can be specified. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently collect the state information of the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A which the maintenance staff is in charge of. Moreover, it is also possible to collect the status information of specific elevators 1A, 2A, 3A by classifying the group ID according to the elevator type.
