Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow the remote building monitoring system to rapidly respond to abnormality by allowing a maintenance man carrying a pocket bell to originate the reception of the signal to a building equipment monitor and allowing the building equipment monitor to inform aknowledge(ACK) originated from the maintenance man to a centralized monitoring center. CONSTITUTION:The maintenance man carrying the pocket bell directly receives abnormality generating information from the building equipment monitor and originates an ACK signal indicating the reception of an abnormal signal and a signal indicating the reorigination of all signals causing the generation of the abnormality to the building equipment monitors 11 to 14. The monitors 11 to 14 reoriginate all the signals causing the generation of the abnormality to the pocket bell. At the time of receiving the signals, the pocket bell prints out the received results by a printer and the maintenance man checks the printed data. Thereby, the cause of abnormality generation can be recognized. Consequently, rapid response to the generation of a trouble can be secured.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an improvement of a building equipment monitoring system that uses pagers to maintain a plurality of equipment.

[Conventional technology]

The conventional technique will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. Third
The figure is a system configuration diagram, and FIG. 4 is a troubleshooting flowchart.

In the figure, 1, 2, 3.4 are building equipment monitoring devices for each building, 5 is a central monitoring center that monitors multiple building equipment monitoring devices 1 and 2.3.4, and 6 is a central monitoring center that monitors calls from the monitoring center 5. 7 and 7' are telephone lines, 8 is a radio wave, and 9 is a telephone office.

As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4, the in-building equipment monitoring device automatically dials the telephone number of the central monitoring center when it detects an abnormality in the equipment.

The telephone line between the building equipment monitor 1 and the central monitoring center 5 is closed, and the central monitoring center 5 receives abnormal data. The central monitoring center uses a pager to page the maintenance personnel in charge of the area, and the maintenance personnel make repeated calls to the central monitoring center to confirm the details and then rush to the site. After repairing the abnormality, the maintenance personnel will report it to the central monitoring center.

Incidentally, related devices of this type include, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 61-21292 and 61-228735.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the above-mentioned conventional technology, a centralized monitoring center is always interposed between the building equipment monitoring device and the maintenance personnel carrying pagers. Therefore, there is a problem in that it is necessary to deploy a large number of monitors to the central monitoring center, and the response is not quick enough.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a building remote monitoring system that takes into account one or more problems and allows quick response with a small number of monitoring personnel.

[Means to solve the problem]

The above purpose is to provide a pager with a function of transmitting and receiving signals wirelessly, a function of displaying the received contents, a function of converting the received data into a serial signal, and a function of outputting the serial signal to the outside. , when this pager receives a signal from the building equipment monitoring device, the maintenance worker carrying this pager sends a signal to the building equipment monitoring device indicating that the signal from the building equipment monitoring device has been received. This is achieved by configuring the building equipment monitoring device to report the response confirmation from the maintenance personnel to the central monitoring center.

[Effect]

A maintenance worker carrying a pager receives abnormality information directly from the building equipment monitor, and the maintenance worker receives a response signal indicating that the abnormality signal has been received and replays all the signals that caused the abnormality. A signal to the effect of transmitting is transmitted to the building equipment monitoring device. The building equipment monitoring device retransmits all the signals that caused the abnormality to the pager. Upon receiving the signal, the pager uses a printing machine to print, and the maintenance personnel confirms the data.

This makes it possible to recognize the cause of the abnormality. In this way, there is no need for a central monitoring center to intervene between the building equipment monitoring device and the maintenance personnel carrying pagers, so it is possible to reduce the number of personnel and ensure prompt troubleshooting.

[Tip Embodiment 3 Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the construction drawings and FIG. 2. FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram, and FIG. 2 is a troubleshooting flowchart.

In the figure, 11, 12, 13, and 14 are building equipment monitoring devices equipped with radio stations for transmission and reception in each building, 15 is a central monitoring center that monitors multiple building equipment monitoring devices 11, 12, 13, and 14, and 16 is a 17° 17' is the FFI telephone line, 18 is the telephone office, 19 is the maintenance mobile radio that receives calls from the building equipment monitoring device (a pager with a display function).
The printing devices 20 and 21 are wireless telephones.

Bill M! When the equipment monitoring device detects an abnormality in the equipment, it automatically sends a call to the pager of the maintenance worker's cell phone, and at the same time sends a similar call to the central monitoring center. When the pager receives data from the building equipment monitoring device, the maintenance staff can use the pager on their mobile phone to ascertain the name of the building and the nature of the abnormality.

It also prints on a printing device. After that, the maintenance worker sends a signal to the building equipment monitoring device from the pager indicating that the response signal and all the signals that caused the abnormality will be retransmitted. When the building equipment monitoring device receives a response signal from the maintenance personnel, it transmits a message "dispatch completed" to the central monitoring center. The building equipment monitoring device then transmits all the signals that caused the abnormality to the pager. When a pager receives a signal, it decodes it and prints out the result. Maintenance personnel will rush to the site6.In addition, if there is no response from the maintenance personnel or they do not arrive within the specified time (for example, 5 minutes), the building equipment monitoring device will send a "dispatch request" to the central monitoring center. The supervisor at the central monitoring center will take action by contacting the substitute maintenance staff by telephone.

In addition to this embodiment, depending on the scale, an intermediate maintenance center may be set up between the central monitoring center and the pager-carrying maintenance personnel, although not shown in the drawings, but the same effect as described above may be obtained for troubleshooting. There is.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, the pager is given a reception content display function, the building equipment monitoring device sends a message to the central monitoring center, and at the same time sends a message to the pager as well.

By transmitting a response signal to the building equipment monitoring device, which in turn reports response confirmation from maintenance personnel to the central monitoring center, the number of monitoring staff in charge of the monitoring center can be reduced. At the same time, it has the effect of being able to quickly respond to abnormalities.
