A remote management system 1 applied to an elevator 2 includes a remote management device 10 and a control system 11 .

A remote management device 10 is arranged, for example, in a building 3 where an elevator 2 is applied. The remote management device 10 is a device that remotely manages the elevator 2 . Remote management of elevator 2 includes, for example, remote monitoring of elevator 2 status. Further, the remote management of the elevator 2 includes, for example, execution of diagnostic operation, diagnosis of the presence or absence of abnormality based on the diagnostic operation, and automatic restoration based on the diagnostic result. The remote management device 10 performs remote management based on remote management information.

The remote management information includes, for example, information on the details of the remote management service contracted between the manager of the elevator 2 and the maintenance company. Remote management services are maintenance services that include, for example, performing remote monitoring and diagnostic operations. In this example, the remote management information includes identification information, remote management parameters, and a remote management program. The identification information is information for identifying the elevator 2 . In this example, the identification information is the ID (Identifier) of the elevator 2 . The remote management information includes identification information that identifies the elevator 2 to which the remote management information applies. A remote management parameter is a parameter representing the content of the remote management service. Remote management parameters include, for example, information indicating whether each service item of the remote management service is valid or invalid. A remote management program is a program that describes the operation of the elevator 2 in the remote management service. A remote management program is written into the control panel 9 of the elevator 2 . A remote management program operates based on the remote management parameters. The control panel 9 implements the content of the remote management service based on the remote management parameters according to the written remote management program.

The control system 11 is a system that manages remote management information. The control system 11 includes a contract DB 12 (DB: DataBase), an information management device 13 and a transmission/reception device 14 . The contract DB 12 is a database that stores remote management information. Remote management information is stored for each elevator 2 in the contract DB 12 . The remote management information of the elevator 2 is stored in association with information that specifies the remote management device 10 provided in the elevator 2 as a communication connection destination. In this example, the remote management information of the elevator 2 is stored in association with the telephone number of the remote management device 10 provided in the elevator 2 . The telephone number of the remote management device 10 may be either a telephone number attached to the remote management device 10 itself or a telephone number attached to a communication line connected to the remote management device 10 . The information specifying the remote management device 10 as a communication connection destination may be the IP address (IP: Internet Protocol) of the remote management device 10 or the like. The information management device 13 is a device that manages remote management information. The information management device 13 is a device that performs information processing in management of remote management information such as generation and update of remote management information and writing and reading of information in the contract DB 12 . The transmission/reception device 14 is a device that communicates with devices outside the control system 11 . The transmitting/receiving device 14 is connected to the communication network 15 . In this example, communication network 15 is the public switched telephone network. Alternatively, communication network 15 may be a network such as the Internet, for example.

The remote management device 10 includes an activation switch 16 , a storage section 17 and a setting section 18 .

The activation switch 16 is a part that receives an activation operation of the remote management device 10 . The activation switch 16 may be, for example, a push button. The activation operation received by the activation switch 16 is, for example, an operation of turning on the power. When the activation switch 16 is operated, the remote management device 10 is activated through activation processing. The activation process is a process that is started when the activation switch 16 is operated.

The storage unit 17 is a part that stores information. The storage unit 17 stores the first connection information. The first connection information is information that specifies the control system 11 as a communication connection destination. In this example, the storage unit 17 stores the telephone number of the transmission/reception device 14 as the first connection information. Note that the first connection information may be the IP address of the transmission/reception device 14 or the like. In this example, the storage unit 17 also stores flag information indicating the setting state of the remote management information. In this example, the storage unit 17 does not store information specific to the elevator 2, such as identification information, in the initial state.

The setting unit 18 is a part for setting remote management information. The setting unit 18 has a communication function for connecting to the control system 11 through the communication network 15 . The communication function of the setting unit 18 may be provided by a detachable auxiliary device or the like that performs the communication function.

Next, an example of the operation of the remote management system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4. FIG.
2 to 4 are sequence diagrams showing examples of operations of the remote management system 1 according to the first embodiment.

FIGS. 2 to 4 show an example of the operation of the remote management system 1 regarding the activation process of the remote management device 10. FIG. In the starting process of the remote management device 10 of this example, the identification information setting process, the program setting process, and the parameter setting process are performed in this order. The identification information setting process is a process of setting identification information in the remote management device 10 based on the remote management information. The program setting process is a process of setting a remote management program in the control panel 9 based on the remote management information. The parameter setting process is a process of setting remote management parameters in the remote management device 10 based on the remote management information.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the operation of the remote management system 1 when the remote management device 10 performs identification information setting processing.

In step S21, when the activation switch 16 is operated, the remote management device 10 starts activation processing. After that, the operation of the remote management system 1 proceeds to step S22.

In step S<b>22 , the setting unit 18 of the remote management device 10 determines whether an ID is set as identification information in the remote management device 10 . The setting unit 18 determines that an ID is set in the remote management device 10, for example, when the flag information stored in the storage unit 17 indicates that the ID is set. Alternatively, the setting unit 18 may determine that the ID is set in the remote management device 10 when the ID is stored in the storage unit 17, for example. If the determination result is Yes, the operation of the remote management system 1 proceeds to program setting processing in FIG. On the other hand, if the determination result is No, the setting unit 18 notifies the second connection information and requests the transmitting/receiving device 14 to transmit the ID. The second connection information is information that specifies the originator as the connection destination. Here, since the originator of the request is the remote management device 10, the second connection information is information specifying the remote management device 10 as the communication connection destination. In this example, the second connection information is the telephone number of remote management device 10 .

The information management device 13 confirms whether the transmitting/receiving device 14 is requested to transmit an ID. Confirmation of the ID transmission request is periodically performed, for example, at a preset cycle. When the transmitting/receiving device 14 is requested to transmit the ID, the information management device 13 starts ID confirmation processing in step S23.

In step S23, the information management device 13 requests the contract DB 12 for an ID response using the telephone number notified from the remote management device 10 as a key. That is, the information management device 13 requests the contract DB 12 to reply with the ID included in the remote management information linked to the telephone number. The contract DB 12 replies with the ID included in the remote management information associated with the telephone number. Here, if the contract DB 12 does not store remote management information linked to the telephone number, the contract DB 12 does not manage remote management information linked to the telephone number. answer that At this time, the information management device 13 notifies, for example, the maintenance company of a request for addition of the remote management information linked to the telephone number or correction of the remote management information. On the other hand, when receiving a response from the contract DB 12 regarding the ID of the remote management information linked to the telephone number, the information management device 13 transmits the ID to the remote management device 10 through the transmission/reception device 14 . At this time, the transmitting/receiving device 14 determines the destination of the ID based on the notified second connection information. After transmitting the ID to the remote management device 10, the information management device 13 requests the remote management device 10 to reset.

In step S24, when acquiring an ID from the information management device 13, the setting unit 18 of the remote management device 10 sets the acquired ID, for example, as follows. The setting unit 18 causes the storage unit 17 to store the ID. After that, the setting unit 18 switches the state of the flag information stored in the storage unit 17 to the state in which the ID is set.

In step S25, when a reset is requested from the information management device 13, the setting unit 18 of the remote management device 10 performs reset processing. The reset process is, for example, a process of initializing the remote management program and remote management parameters. The remote management program initialization processing includes processing for switching the state of the flag information stored in the storage unit 17 to an initial state in which the remote management program is not set. The remote control parameter initialization process includes a process of switching the state of the flag information stored in the storage unit 17 to an initial state in which the remote control parameter is not set. After that, the operation related to the identification information setting process of the remote management system 1 ends.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the operation of the remote management system 1 when the remote management device 10 performs the program setting process after the identification information setting process.

In step S<b>31 , the setting unit 18 of the remote management device 10 acquires version information of the remote management program set in the control panel 9 . Further, when the remote management information corresponding to the elevator 2 includes version information of the remote management program corresponding to the elevator 2, the setting unit 18 acquires the version information from the control system 11, for example. After that, the operation of the remote management system 1 proceeds to step S32.

In step S<b>32 , the setting unit 18 of the remote management device 10 determines whether a remote management program is set in the control panel 9 . The setting unit 18 determines that the remote management program is set in the control panel 9, for example, when the flag information stored in the storage unit 17 indicates that the remote management program is set. Alternatively, the setting unit 18 may determine that the remote management program is set in the control panel 9 when the remote management program is written in the control panel 9, for example. Further, when the version information acquired from the control panel 9 and the version information acquired from the control system 11 do not match, the setting unit 18 may determine that the remote management program is not set in the control panel 9. If the determination result is Yes, the operation of the remote management system 1 proceeds to the parameter setting process of FIG. On the other hand, if the determination result is No, the setting unit 18 notifies the telephone number of the remote management device 10 or the set ID and requests the transmission/reception device 14 to transmit the remote management program.

The information management device 13 confirms whether the transmitting/receiving device 14 is requested to transmit the remote management program. Confirmation of the request for transmission of the remote management program is periodically performed, for example, at a preset cycle. When the transmitting/receiving device 14 is requested to transmit the remote management program, the information management device 13 starts the process of acquiring the remote management program in step S33.

In step S<b>33 , the information management device 13 requests the contract DB 12 to transmit the remote management program included in the remote management information linked to the telephone number or ID notified from the remote management device 10 . The contract DB 12 provides the remote management program included in the remote management information associated with the telephone number or ID. When receiving a remote management program for remote management information linked to the telephone number or the ID from the contract DB 12, the information management device 13 transmits the remote management program to the remote management device 10 through the transmission/reception device 14. do.

In step S34, when acquiring the remote management program from the information management device 13, the setting unit 18 of the remote management device 10 sets the acquired remote management program to the control panel 9, for example, as follows. The setting unit 18 causes the control panel 9 to rewrite the remote management program. After that, the setting unit 18 switches the state of the flag information stored in the storage unit 17 to the state in which the remote management program is set.

In step S35, the control panel 9 notifies the success or failure of the setting of the remote management program. The success or failure is notified to the information management device 13 through the remote management device 10 and the transmission/reception device 14, for example. The information management device 13 may resend the remote management program when receiving a setting failure notification. After the setting of the remote management program is successful, the operation related to the program setting processing of the remote management system 1 ends.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the operation of the remote management system 1 when the remote management device 10 performs parameter setting processing after program setting processing.

In step S41, the setting unit 18 of the remote management device 10 determines whether remote management parameters have been set. The setting unit 18 determines that the remote management parameters are set in the remote management device 10 when the flag information stored in the storage unit 17 indicates that the remote management parameters are set. Alternatively, the setting unit 18 may determine that the remote management parameters are set in the remote management device 10 when the remote management parameters are stored in the storage unit 17, for example. If the determination result is Yes, the operation related to the parameter setting process of the remote management system 1 ends. On the other hand, if the determination result is No, the setting unit 18 notifies the telephone number of the remote management device 10 or the set ID and requests the transmission/reception device 14 to transmit remote management parameters.

The information management device 13 confirms whether or not the transmission/reception device 14 is requested to transmit remote management parameters. Confirmation of the request for transmission of remote management parameters is periodically performed, for example, at a preset cycle. When the transmitting/receiving device 14 is requested to transmit remote management parameters, the information management device 13 starts the contract information acquisition process in step S42.

In step S<b>42 , the information management device 13 requests the contract DB 12 to transmit the contract information included in the remote management information linked to the telephone number or ID notified from the remote management device 10 . Here, the contract information is information representing the content of the contract for the remote management service. The contract information may not include information related to the operation of the elevator 2, such as the number of floors of the building 3. The contract DB 12 replies with the contract information included in the remote management information linked to the telephone number or ID. After receiving a response from the contract DB 12 regarding the contract information of the remote management information linked to the telephone number or the ID, the information management device 13 starts the process of acquiring the specification information in step S43.

In step S<b>43 , the information management device 13 requests the remote management device 10 to send the specification information of the elevator 2 . The specification information of the elevator 2 includes, for example, the number of floors of the building 3 to which the elevator 2 is applied. After acquiring the specification information in response from the remote management device 10, the information management device 13 starts parameter generation processing in step S44.

In step S44, the information management device 13 generates remote management parameters based on the contract information and specification information. After that, the information management device 13 transmits the generated remote management parameters to the remote management device 10 through the transmission/reception device 14 .

In step S45, when acquiring remote management parameters from the information management device 13, the setting unit 18 of the remote management device 10 sets the acquired remote management parameters, for example, as follows. The setting unit 18 causes the storage unit 17 to store the remote management parameters. After that, the setting unit 18 switches the state of the flag information stored in the storage unit 17 to the state in which the remote management parameter is set. After that, the operation related to the parameter setting process of the remote management system 1 ends.

Note that the identification information may be set in the control panel 9 . Also, remote management parameters may be set in the control panel 9 . The control panel 9 may store the flag information indicating the setting state of the remote management information. At this time, the remote management device 10 writes and updates identification information, remote management parameters, flag information, and the like as settings of the remote management information.

Further, the remote management program initialization processing may include processing for deleting the remote management program written in the control panel 9 . Further, the remote control parameter initialization process may include a process of deleting the remote control parameters stored in the storage unit 17 or the like.

As explained above, the remote management system 1 according to Embodiment 1 includes the remote management device 10 and the control system 11 . A remote management device 10 is connected to the control panel 9 of the elevator 2 . The remote management device 10 remotely manages the elevator 2 based on remote management information corresponding to the elevator 2 . The control system 11 manages remote management information. The remote management device 10 includes an activation switch 16 , a storage section 17 and a setting section 18 . The start switch 16 accepts a start operation. The storage unit 17 stores first connection information in advance. The first connection information is information specifying the control system 11 as a connection destination. The setting unit 18 connects to the control system 11 based on the first connection information stored in the storage unit 17 in the activation process started when the activation switch 16 is operated. The setting unit 18 acquires remote management information corresponding to the elevator 2 from the control system 11 in the activation process. The setting unit 18 sets at least part of the acquired remote management information in the control panel 9 in the activation process.

With such a configuration, the setting of the remote management information is performed by triggering the activation operation of the remote management apparatus 10 such as turning on the power regardless of the content of the remote management service. Since input work by maintenance personnel is not required at the site where the elevator 2 is installed, the occurrence of setting errors and the like during site work can be suppressed. In addition, since the work time of maintenance personnel at the site is shortened, the stop time of the elevator 2 is shortened. In addition, since the remote management information managed by the control system 11 is automatically reflected when the remote management device 10 is activated, non-fulfillment of the contract content related to the remote management service is less likely to occur. Information registered in advance in the remote management device 10 is information that does not depend on the elevator 2 , such as the telephone number of the control system 11 . Therefore, it is not necessary to register identification information such as an ID in the remote management device 10 in advance. As a result, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of misregistration of the identification information or the mistaking of the remote management apparatus 10 for which different identification information has been input.

The remote management information also includes identification information for identifying the elevator 2 . The setting unit 18 determines whether identification information is set before connecting to the control system 11 in the activation process. When determining that the identification information is not set, the setting unit 18 requests the control system 11 for the identification information accompanied by notification of the second connection information, and connects to the remote management device 10 based on the second connection information. The identification information acquired from the control system 11 is set. The second connection information is information that specifies the originator as the connection destination.

With such a configuration, identification information is acquired using the second connection information as a key. Therefore, it is not necessary to register identification information such as an ID in the remote management device 10 in advance. As a result, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of misregistration of the identification information or the mistaking of the remote management apparatus 10 for which different identification information has been input.

Further, the control system 11 issues a request for addition or correction of the remote management information when there is no remote management information that is linked to the second connection information among the managed remote management information.

With such a configuration, even if there is a mismatch between the remote management information managed by the control system 11 and the content of the contract, the mismatch is promptly reported. Therefore, the inconsistency can be quickly dealt with. This makes it less likely that non-compliance with the content of the contract relating to the remote management service will occur.

The remote management information also includes a remote management program that the control panel 9 follows. The setting unit 18 determines whether the remote management program is set in the control panel 9 after determining that the identification information is set in the activation process. When determining that the remote management program is not set, the setting unit 18 requests the control system 11 for the remote management program and sets the remote management program acquired from the control system 11 to the control panel 9.
Further, the remote management information includes remote management parameters for setting details of remote management of the elevator 2 . After determining that the remote management program is set in the control panel 9 in the activation process, the setting unit 18 determines whether the remote management parameters are set. When determining that the remote management parameters have not been set, the setting unit 18 requests the remote management parameters to the control system 11 and sets the remote management parameters acquired from the control system 11 .

With such a configuration, the setting of the remote management program is performed after the setting of the identification information is confirmed. Therefore, the setting of the identification information controls the contents of the startup process when the remote management device 10 is restarted. When the remote management information has already been set, the remote management device 10 does not perform unnecessary updating, so communication capacity is not wasted. Also, the remote management parameters are set after the remote management program settings are confirmed. Therefore, a mismatch between the version of the remote management program to which the remote management parameters correspond and the version of the remote management program written in the control panel 9 is unlikely to occur. As a result, the setting for implementing the content of the remote management service is automatically performed more reliably.

Note that the information management device 13 of the control system 11 may transmit an initialization signal when, for example, the contract content is changed. The initialization signal is input to the setting unit 18 of the remote management device 10 through the transmission/reception device 14 . The setting unit 18 initializes the setting of the identification information when receiving the initialization signal from the control system 11 . In the identification information initialization process, the state of the flag information stored in the storage unit 17 is switched to the initial state in which the identification information is not set. At this time, the setting unit 18 does not initialize the remote management program and remote management parameters. As a result, the remote management information is automatically updated by restarting the remote management device 10 . Further, since the identification information initialized by the initialization signal is information that is not used for the operation of the elevator 2 by the control panel 9, the operation of the elevator 2 being activated by the remote management device 10 is not affected by the initialization signal. I do not receive. Therefore, not only when the remote management device 10 is newly installed, but also when the settings of the remote management device 10 in operation are updated, remote management information can be set by an operation such as turning on the remote management device 10 . is done automatically.
