(process)
Next, the management process configured in this way and executed by the management system 900 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the management process (steps are abbreviated as “S” in the following description of each process). 9 to 11 are display examples of information displayed on the screen of the terminal device. The "management process" is, in general, a process executed by the control side server device 5 of the management system 900, and specifically, a process of controlling a control target. The timing for executing this management process is arbitrary, but for example, when the power of the control side server device 5 is turned on, it is assumed that the management process is started and the execution is started, and the description will be made from the point where the execution is started.

In this management process, the terminal device 2 and the control side server device 5 communicate with each other via the communication device 12 to execute each process, but this communication method is arbitrary, for example. Since any communication such as communication performed by using the terminal ID that uniquely identifies the terminal device 2 and the device ID that uniquely identifies the control side server device 5 can be applied, here, the specific communication method is specified. The explanation of the contents will be omitted.

In SA1 of FIG. 8, the management unit 552 determines whether or not the request for transmitting the captured image has been accepted. Specifically, it is arbitrary, but for example, the communication unit 51 is monitored and a determination is made based on the monitoring result. Then, when the request for transmitting the captured image is not received via the communication unit 51, it is determined that the request is not accepted (NO of SA1), and SA1 is repeatedly repeated until it is determined that the request has been accepted. Run. Further, when the request for transmitting the captured image is received via the communication unit 51, it is determined that the request has been accepted (YES in SA1), and the process proceeds to SA2.

Here, for example, the control unit 25 of the terminal device 2 generates the display screen of FIG. 9 according to the initial setting by the user, displays the generated display screen on the display 23, and then touch pad 22 for the display screen. When the predetermined operation via the above is received, the request for transmitting the captured image is transmitted to the control side server device 5 via the communication unit 21. On the other hand, the management unit 552 determines that the request has been accepted when the transmitted request is received via the communication unit 51.

The display screen of FIG. 9 is a display screen for selecting a camera, and is an "all cameras" image for selecting all cameras, a "first floor camera" image for selecting only the first floor camera, and a second floor. The "second-floor camera" image that selects only the camera of the above is a display screen that is displayed so as to be selectable by the user. Then, when the user clicks the enter button G11 in a state where one of the images is selected by a predetermined operation via the touch pad 22, the captured image captured by the camera corresponding to the selected image is obtained. Is transmitted from the terminal device 2 to the control side server device 5. Here, for example, the case where the enter button G11 is clicked with the “first-floor camera” image of FIG. 9 selected will be described as an example. In this case, the images of the cameras 131 and 132 which are the first-floor cameras are captured. The request for transmitting the image will be transmitted to the control side server device 5, and the management unit 552 receives the transmitted request.

In SA2 of FIG. 8, the management unit 552 starts transmitting the captured image. Specifically, although it is arbitrary, for example, by specifying a camera corresponding to the request received by SA1 and then controlling the image pickup side server device 11, the moving image captured by the above-mentioned specified camera can be obtained. It starts to repeatedly transmit to the terminal device 2 as a captured image, but the moving image is combined with the camera ID that identifies the camera 13 that captured the moving image so that the camera 13 that captured the moving image can be identified in a later process. , Start repeatedly transmitting to the terminal device 2.

Here, for example, the moving image captured by the camera 131 and the camera ID of the camera 131 by controlling the image pickup side server device 11 after specifying the cameras 131 and 132 which are the cameras on the first floor. Starting to repeatedly transmit "IDc1" to the terminal device 2, and repeatedly transmitting the moving image captured by the camera 132 and the camera ID "IDc2" of the camera 132 to the terminal device 2. To start.

On the other hand, the control unit 25 of the terminal device 2 receives the transmitted moving image via the communication unit 21, and displays the received moving image on the display 23. Here, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, a moving image captured by the camera 131 (that is, a moving image of the first floor A district) is displayed in the first image display area R1, and the second image display area R2. The moving image captured by the camera 132 (that is, the moving image of the B district on the first floor) is displayed. The display screen of FIG. 10 is a display image for displaying and selecting a moving image which is a captured image, and is a display screen on which each display area and the determination button G21 are displayed. Here, for example, it is assumed that the camera information of FIG. 5 is recorded in the recording unit 24, and the camera information is referred to in order to specify which camera 13 the moving image to be displayed is captured by. Then, the camera name information of FIG. 5 corresponding to the camera ID transmitted together with the above-mentioned moving image is specified, and the specified camera name information is used as the “1st floor A district camera” or “1st floor B district camera” of FIG. It shall be displayed around each display column, such as "".

In SA3 of FIG. 8, the reception unit 551 determines whether or not the image specific information has been received. Specifically, it is arbitrary, but for example, the communication unit 51 is monitored and a determination is made based on the monitoring result. Then, when the image identification information is not received via the communication unit 51, it is determined that the image identification information is not accepted (NO of SA3), and SA3 is repeated until it is determined that the image identification information is accepted. To execute. Further, when the image identification information is received via the communication unit 51, it is determined that the image identification information has been accepted (YES in SA3), and the process proceeds to SA4.

Here, for example, when the user performs a predetermined operation via the touch pad 22 to select a moving image which is a captured image that is started to be transmitted by the SA2 and is started to be displayed on the display 23, the terminal device 2 is used. The control unit 25 generates image identification information that identifies the selected moving image. Specifically, although it is optional, for example, paying attention to the fact that the camera ID of the camera 13 that captured the moving image is transmitted together with the moving image started to be transmitted by SA2, together with the moving image selected above. The transmitted camera ID is specified, and image identification information including the specified camera ID is generated. Next, the control unit 25 of the terminal device 2 transmits the generated image identification information to the control side server device 5 via the communication unit 21. On the other hand, the management unit 552 determines that the image identification information has been received when the transmitted image identification information is received via the communication unit 51.

Specifically, when the user performs a predetermined operation via the touch pad 22, the first image display area R1 in FIG. 10 is clicked on the first image display area R1 in FIG. When the decision button G21 is clicked with the moving image of No. 1 selected, the control unit 25 of the terminal device 2 uses the moving image of the first floor A district displayed in the first image display area R1 (that is, the camera 131). Image-specific information including "IDc1" is generated and transmitted as the camera ID transmitted together with the captured moving image). On the other hand, the management unit 552 receives the transmitted image identification information including the "IDc1" via the communication unit 51, and determines that it has been accepted.

In SA4 of FIG. 8, the management unit 552 acquires the equipment control specific information. Specifically, although it is arbitrary, for example, with reference to the association information in FIG. 7, the control target associated with the captured image specified by the image identification information received by the reception unit 551 is specified, and the specified control target is specified. Acquires control information, which is information for controlling. Specifically, the image identification information determined to have been received by SA3 is acquired, the camera ID included in the acquired image identification information is specified, and the association information in FIG. 7 is associated with the specified camera ID. The specified equipment control specific information is specified as control information, and the specified equipment control specific information is acquired.

Here, for example, when the reception unit 551 receives the image identification information including the “IDc1” in the SA3, in the association information of FIG. 7, the equipment control specific information corresponding to the specified “IDc1” is “1st floor A”. Acquire "District Electric Lock Lock" and "1st Floor A District Electric Lock Unlock".

In SA5 of FIG. 8, the management unit 552 transmits the equipment control specific information. Specifically, although it is arbitrary, for example, the equipment control specific information acquired by the SA4 is acquired, and the acquired equipment control specific information is transmitted to the terminal device 2 via the communication unit 51 and output. On the other hand, the control unit 25 of the terminal device 2 receives the transmitted equipment control specific information via the communication unit 21, and displays the received equipment control specific information on the display 23. Here, for example, "1st floor A district electric lock" and "1st floor A district electric lock unlock" are transmitted, and as shown in FIG. 11, an image of "1st floor A district electric lock" and an image of "1st floor A district electric lock" and The image of "1st floor A district electric lock unlock" is displayed in a list on the display 23. The display screen of FIG. 11 is a display image for displaying and selecting the equipment control specific information, and is a display screen on which each information and the decision button G31 are displayed.

In SA6 of FIG. 8, the management unit 552 determines whether or not the equipment control specific information has been received. Specifically, it is arbitrary, but for example, the communication unit 51 is monitored and a determination is made based on the monitoring result. Then, when the equipment control specific information is not received via the communication unit 51, it is determined that the equipment control specific information is not accepted (NO of SA6), and until it is determined that the equipment control specific information is accepted. , Repeat SA6. Further, when the equipment control specific information is received via the communication unit 51, it is determined that the equipment control specific information has been accepted (YES of SA6), and the process proceeds to SA7.

Here, for example, when the user performs a predetermined operation via the touch pad 22 to select the equipment control specific information transmitted by the SA 5 and displayed on the display 23, the control unit 25 of the terminal device 2 is concerned. The selected equipment control specific information is transmitted to the control side server device 5 via the communication unit 21. On the other hand, the management unit 552 determines that the equipment control specific information has been received when the transmitted equipment control specific information is received via the communication unit 51.

Specifically, in a state where the user clicks and selects the image of "1st floor A district electric lock" in FIG. 11 transmitted by SA5 and displayed on the display 23 by performing a predetermined operation via the touch pad 22. When the enter button G31 is clicked, the control unit 25 of the terminal device 2 controls the "1st floor A district electric lock" corresponding to the image of the "1st floor A district electric lock" via the communication unit 21. It is transmitted to the side server device 5. On the other hand, the management unit 552 received the transmitted "1st floor A district electric lock" via the communication unit 51 (that is, received the equipment control specific information), and received the equipment control specific information. Judge as a thing.

In SA7 of FIG. 8, the management unit 552 controls. Specifically, although it is arbitrary, for example, the equipment ID and the equipment ID corresponding to the acquired equipment control specific information are acquired by acquiring the equipment control specific information determined to have been received by SA6 and referring to the association information in FIG. The equipment control information is specified, the equipment specified by the specified equipment ID is specified as the control target, and the control content specified by the specified equipment control information is specified, and then the specified control is performed via the control panel 4. Controls the specified control content for the target.

Here, for example, when the equipment control specific information determined to have been received by SA6 is "1st floor A district electric lock lock", it is the equipment control specific information acquired by referring to the association information in FIG. "Equipment ID" = "IDf1" and "Equipment control information" = "Locking" corresponding to "1st floor A district electric lock" are specified, and "Equipment ID" = "IDf1" identifies the electric lock in FIG. After specifying 421 as a control target and specifying "locking" which is the control content specified by the specified "equipment control information" = "locking", the electric lock 421 is locked via the control panel 4. .. This ends the management process.

(About prevention of erroneous operation)
As described above, the user confirms the image related to the control target in the captured image of FIG. 10, selects the captured image, and selects the equipment control specific information corresponding to the selected captured image in FIG. By doing so, it is possible to control the control target, and it is possible to prevent an erroneous operation of erroneously controlling an unintended control target.

(Effect of embodiment)

It is configured to include a specified QR code (registered trademark), the QR code is imaged so as to be included in the captured image, and the QR code in the captured image is analyzed to specify the control target and control. It may be configured to do so.

(About multiple captured images)
Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the information for specifying one captured image is accepted as the image specifying information in SA3 of FIG. 8 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the information for specifying a plurality of captured images in SA3 is not limited to this. Is considered to be received by the reception unit 551 as image specific information, and in this case, the management unit 552 may be configured to perform the following first process or second process.

The "first process" is a process when the reception unit 551 receives information for specifying a plurality of captured images, and is, for example, a process in which control targets are grouped in advance. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating other association information. The “other association information” is the above-mentioned image control target related information, and specifically, is information in which control targets are grouped in advance. The other association information of FIG. 12 is stored in place of the association information of FIG. 7, and is processed as follows.

Specifically, in SA3 of FIG. 8, when the user performs a predetermined operation via the touch pad 22, the first image display area R1 and the second image display area R2 of FIG. 10 are clicked to click the first floor A district. When the decision button G21 is clicked with the moving image of the first floor and the moving image of the B district on the first floor selected, the control unit 25 of the terminal device 2 generates image identification information including "IDc1" and "IDc2". Send. On the other hand, the management unit 552 receives the transmitted image identification information including the “IDc1” and the “IDc2”, and in SA4, in the same manner as in the case of the embodiment, in the equipment control identification information of FIG. Acquires the information of the 4th to 4th stages, acquires "1F all electric lock lock" and "1F all electric lock unlock" corresponding to "IDc1 + IDc2", and transmits each acquired information by SA5. Then, it is displayed as control information on the display 23. After that, when the SA6 accepts the "1F all electric lock lock", the SA7 collectively collects the electric locks 421 and 422 of FIG. 2 corresponding to the "equipment ID" = "IDf1 + IDf2" of FIG. Lock it. In this configuration, by displaying and outputting information for simultaneously controlling a plurality of control targets as control information, for example, it is not necessary to individually control a plurality of control targets, so that a plurality of control targets can be controlled. It is possible to improve the control efficiency of.

Further, the "second process" is a process when the reception unit 551 receives information for specifying a plurality of captured images, and is, for example, a process performed without grouping the control targets in advance.

When clicked, an image showing only the control contents of "locking" and "unlocking" is displayed on the display screen of FIG. 11, and when the image of the "locking" is clicked, the above-mentioned selected moving image is displayed. When the electric locks 421 and 422, which are the associated control targets, are locked together and the image of the "unlock" is clicked, the control associated with the selected moving image described above is performed. The target electric locks 421 and 422 are unlocked all at once.

(About application)
Further, the technique described in the present application may be applied to various situations. Specifically, the inside of the wedding venue may be displayed as a captured image and then applied to a situation where the electric lock on the door of the venue is remotely controlled, or the automatic door of any room is opened and closed. It may be applied to a scene, or it may be applied to a scene where a building is guarded. When applied to a scene where a building is guarded, it is possible to control a controlled object while checking a room (for example, a laboratory) that is difficult for security guards to enter from the outside. In addition, when applied to the situation of guarding a building, the security system may be automatically turned on when all the electric locks are locked, and security is performed when at least one electric lock is unlocked. The system may be turned off automatically.

(About equipment information)
FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating other equipment information. Then, the equipment information of FIG. 13 may be used instead of the equipment information of FIG. 6, or only a part of the equipment information of FIG. 13 may be used for processing. Since the equipment information in FIG. 13 is basically the same as the equipment information in FIG. 6, only specific information that differs will be described. “Equipment ID” = “ZAISITU1” in FIG. 3 is an entry / exit management device (for example, a card reader such as a card reader 41 and a server computer, or a server computer of an entry / exit management device, etc.) that manages the area A on the first floor. (Monitoring item) in "=" KEIBI1 "is a setting item in a security device (for example, a human sensor such as a sensor 43 and a server computer, or a server computer of an entry / exit management device" that manages the 1st floor A district and the 1st floor B district. ) Is uniquely identified, and "equipment ID" = "KEIBI2" uniquely identifies the security device that manages the 2nd floor A district and the 2nd floor B district. Further, "equipment type information" = "room occupancy state" in FIG. 13 specifies the type of the device that manages the occupancy state, that is, the type corresponding to the entry / exit management device, and also. , "Equipment type information" = "security setting" specifies the type of device for setting security, that is, the type corresponding to the security device. Further, "equipment control candidate information" = "clearing the occupancy status" in FIG. 13 specifies that the occupancy status recorded in the server computer, which is the entry / exit management device, can be deleted or reset. "Equipment control candidate information" = "security set / release" specifies that it is possible to enable security by the security device and disable security by the security device. As for the server computer as the entrance / exit management device constituting the entry / exit management system here, the control side server device 5 may be used, another device may be used, and similarly, security is provided. As for the server computer as the security device constituting the system, the control side server device 5 may be used or another device may be used, but the device used as the server computer of each system is interpreted as the control target. ..

(About user terminals)
Although the user terminal is a portable terminal, it may be a device connected to a system such as a desktop personal computer by wire.

(About the display of information (1))
The control information is displayed in a list separately from the camera image, but the display method is not limited to this. A button for operating the event may be arranged so as to be superimposed on the camera image. The controlled object may be operated by pressing the button. For example, the button for unlocking the electric lock is placed at the end of the image frame of the camera 1, and the button is arranged at a position that does not interfere with the image.

(About the display of information (Part 2))
Further, the state information of the related equipment and the control information may be displayed on the same screen as the camera image. Not only can it be displayed on the same screen at the same time, but it can also be displayed by scrolling the screen. FIG. 14 is a display example of information displayed on the screen of the terminal device. Each information may be displayed as shown in FIG. Specifically, in order to display the status information of the related equipment (information described in the "control status" column of FIG. 14) on the user terminal, the management system causes the user terminal to display the image when the image is selected. And send related equipment information. For example, when the management system receives the selected information from the 1st floor A district camera, the 1st floor A district electric lock associated with the 1st floor A district camera is locked / unlocked, the A district security status, and the A district presence. The room status and the like are transmitted to the user terminal, and the user terminal displays the equipment information. Further, the display method of the control information may be different depending on the received equipment information. For example, when the 1st floor A district electric lock is locked, the invalid or unnecessary control may be obscured by darkening or hiding the 1st floor A district electric lock locking command.

(About information association)
The management system associates (associates) the image with the control target, but this association may be performed manually as editing of the database, or may be read from the image. For example, by pasting an information body in which information such as a camera ID is described in information such as a QR code in an imaging space, the camera recognizes its own camera ID by imaging the information body, thereby forming a camera ID. It is possible to automatically link images. Further, by including the control target and the control information as the information to be included in the information body, it is possible to read the control information of any equipment from the image.

(About login information)
Further, the management means limits the display image (that is, the image displayed on the user terminal) and / or the control information of the user terminal by the access authority according to the login information according to the login information received from the user terminal. It may be configured. The "login information" is information for accessing the management system using the user terminal, and specifically, is a concept including a login ID, a password, etc. defined for each user who uses the user terminal. It is the information associated with the access authority. The "access authority" is an authority for a user to access each element of the management system and acquire information, for example, an authority divided into multiple levels such as level 1 to level 3, or the first floor. It is a concept that includes authority and the like that are divided into a plurality of parts based on the information to be accessed and acquired, such as only a part and only a second floor part.

In addition, in the authority divided into a plurality of levels here, "level 3" is the highest level authority, for example, the authority to acquire all the information of the management system, and "level 2". Is a lower level of authority than level 3, for example, the authority to acquire some information of the management system, and "level 1" is the lowest level authority, for example, level. It is the authority to acquire less information than the information that can be acquired in 2.

In addition, in the authority that is divided into multiple parts based on the information to be acquired, "only the first floor" is the authority to acquire only the information related to the first floor of the building, and " "Only the 2nd floor" is the authority to acquire only the information related to the 2nd floor of the building.

The method of implementing such a technique is arbitrary, but for example, after determining the login ID and access authority of each user (for example, "only the first floor part" or "only the second floor part"). Information relating the determined login ID and access authority to each other (hereinafter referred to as authority-specific information) is recorded in the recording unit 54 of the control-side server device 5, and as described in SA1 of FIG. 8, FIG. Before displaying the display screen, the user inputs the login ID and password, and when the terminal device 2 sends a request to send the captured image to the control side server device 5, the login ID is also sent. Then, in SA2, the management unit 552 identifies the access authority corresponding to the transmitted login ID by referring to the authority specifying information recorded in the recording unit 54, and the captured image corresponding to the specified access authority. Start sending only. Here, for example, when the access authority associated with the login ID transmitted from the terminal device 2 is "only the first floor portion", even if the "all cameras" image in FIG. 9 is clicked, the second floor The transmission of images captured by the first-floor camera is restricted (that is, the image is not transmitted), only the images captured by the first-floor camera will be transmitted, and if you click the "first-floor camera" image, The image captured by the camera on the first floor will be transmitted, and if the "camera on the second floor" image is clicked, the transmission of the image will be restricted. That is, the image displayed on the terminal device 2 in SA2 of FIG. 8 is limited.

Further, the image displayed on the terminal device 2 may be restricted by the SA2 of FIG. 8 in this way, or by performing the same processing as described above without performing the restriction, the SA5 of FIG. 8 may be used. The equipment control specific information (that is, control information) displayed on the terminal device 2 may be restricted. In this case, for example, the management unit 552 identifies and specifies the access authority corresponding to the login ID transmitted from the terminal device 2 at an appropriate timing by referring to the authority specifying information recorded in the recording unit 54. By transmitting the equipment control specific information corresponding to the access authority, only the equipment control specific information corresponding to the access authority may be displayed on the terminal device 2, and the display of the equipment control specific information not corresponding to the access authority may be restricted. (That is, it does not have to be displayed). Here, for example, when the access authority associated with the login ID transmitted from the terminal device 2 is "only the first floor portion", in FIG. 11, the equipment control specific information related to the first floor of FIG. 7 is shown. Only (information in the 1st to 4th stages) can be displayed, and display of equipment control specific information (information in the 5th to 8th stages) related to the 2nd floor is restricted. Regarding the concept here, the processing may be arbitrarily changed to limit only the display image, or only the control information among the display images or control information, or. Both the displayed image and the control information may be restricted. In this configuration, by limiting the display image and / or control information of the user terminal by the access authority according to the login information, for example, appropriate information according to the access authority can be presented. It is possible to reliably control the intended control content for the controlled object.

(About features)
Moreover, you may arbitrarily combine the characteristics of the embodiment and the characteristics of the modified example.

Based on the image control target-related information stored in the storage means, a plurality of control targets associated with the plurality of captured images specified by the image identification information received by the reception means are specified. Information for simultaneously controlling a plurality of specified control targets is output as the control information.

(Effect of appendix)
According to the management system described in Appendix 1, the control target associated with the captured image to be specified by the received image identification information is specified, and the control information which is the information for controlling the specified control target is output. Therefore, for example, the control target corresponding to the captured image visually recognized by the user can be controlled, so that the intended control target can be reliably controlled. Further, by receiving the control information selected by the user among the output control information and controlling the control target based on the received control information, for example, control of the intended control content for the intended control target is performed. Can be done. In addition, it is possible to perform control according to the situation of the image pickup target. For example, in a shopping mall or the like where a plurality of stores with different business hours are located, it is possible to lock only the store where it is confirmed from the captured image that the store is empty after the business hours are over. According to this application, it is possible to lock the store reliably while checking the condition inside the store, so it is possible to lock the store while the staff is still inside, or accidentally lock another store during business hours. There is no.

According to the management system described in Appendix 2, by accepting the information that identifies the captured image displayed on the user terminal as the image identification information, for example, it is possible to reliably prevent the control target from being mistaken. It is possible to reliably control the controlled object. In addition, since access is possible from outside the server or client device of the control system, it is possible for a person other than a dedicated administrator to perform control. Further, when the user terminal is a portable terminal, it is possible to control while checking the captured image at a place away from the server or client device of the control system without restriction of the operation place. For example, at a wedding ceremony or a theater, the staff can check the inside while waiting near the door and control the door to be unlocked and opened at an appropriate timing.

According to the management system described in Appendix 3, by limiting the display image and / or control information of the user terminal by the access authority according to the login information, for example, appropriate information according to the access authority can be presented. Therefore, it is possible to reliably control the intended control content for the intended control target.

According to the management system described in Appendix 4, by outputting information for simultaneously controlling a plurality of control targets as control information, for example, it is not necessary to individually control a plurality of control targets. It is possible to improve the control efficiency of the controlled object of.
