Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a remote monitoring device for performing remote monitoring by a monitoring center via a communication line, and particularly suitable for registering unique information of the terminal device to the terminal device from the monitoring center. Remote monitoring device

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a remote monitoring device is provided in each of a plurality of buildings, and a terminal device connected to equipment equipment of the building and a monitoring device connected to the terminal device via a communication line, that is, a telephone line. It has a center. Therefore, it is necessary to store a telephone number for calling the other party, an individual number for identifying the other party, and the like in the monitoring center and each terminal device.

Therefore, conventionally, in order to store a telephone number for calling the other party and an individual number for identifying the other party in the terminal device, a method of going to the building to be monitored and inputting it into the terminal device using the input device, And patent 1771
Some remote monitoring devices such as the one described in No. 428 send information from a monitoring center to a terminal device via a telephone line and store the information. In particular, the latter transmits the information stored in the monitoring center, so there are few human errors, and
This remote monitoring device is usually used because it does not require going to the building to be monitored.

[0004]

However, when a new terminal device is installed, an operator calls the monitoring center from the building in which the terminal device is installed in order to initialize the new terminal device. It is necessary to request the initial setting. Therefore, there has been a problem that the response personnel of the monitoring center become busy with the response of the telephone and the operation for transmitting the unique information to the new terminal device.

The present invention has been made in view of the actual situation in the prior art as described above, and an object thereof is a remote monitoring device capable of omitting the work of a staff member of a monitoring center accompanying the transmission of unique information at the time of initial setting. To provide.

[0006]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a terminal device provided in each of a plurality of buildings and connected to equipment equipment of the building, and the terminal device via a communication line. In a remote monitoring device having a monitoring center connected thereto and monitoring the facility equipment via the terminal device by the monitoring center, the monitoring center responds to the request from any one of the terminal devices. A configuration is provided in which transmission means is provided for transmitting the unique information corresponding to the terminal device to the terminal device via the communication line.

[0007]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, when there is a request from any of the terminal devices to the monitoring center, the transmission means provided in the monitoring center sends the unique information corresponding to the terminal device to the communication line. It is configured to be transmitted to the terminal device via the above. As a result, it is possible to omit the work of the corresponding personnel of the monitoring center associated with the transmission of the unique information at the time of initial setting.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a remote monitoring device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a remote monitoring apparatus of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing unique information stored in a monitoring center, and FIG. 3 is a unique information transmitted from the monitoring center to a terminal device. FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing information, and FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing a processing procedure of the remote monitoring apparatus of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the remote monitoring apparatus of this embodiment is provided in each of a plurality of buildings, and a terminal apparatus 1 connected to the equipment of the building, and a communication line 2 to the terminal apparatus 1 are provided. And a monitoring center 3 connected to each other. Further, in the monitoring center 3, an input unit 3a for inputting each unique information of the terminal device 1, a storage unit 3b for storing the unique information, and the terminal device 1 in response to a request from one of the terminal devices 1. The central control unit 3c reads out the unique information corresponding to 1 from the storage unit 3b, and the communication control unit 3d that calls the terminal device and transmits the unique information via the communication line. Further, in the terminal device 1, an input unit 1a for inputting a unique information request signal, and another transmitting means for transmitting the unique information request signal to the monitoring center 3 via the communication line 2, for example, a communication control unit 1b, A storage unit 1c that stores the unique information transmitted from the monitoring center 3 and a central control unit 1d that is connected to and controls the input unit 1a, the transmission unit 1b, and the storage unit 1c are provided.
In addition, the transmission means provided in the monitoring center 3 and transmitting the unique information corresponding to the terminal device to the terminal device via the communication line in response to a request from any of the terminal devices,
It is composed of the central control unit 3c and the communication control unit 3d described above.

In this embodiment, when the terminal device 1 is newly installed, the operator inputs the input section 1a as shown in step S1.
When the peculiar information request signal is input using, the central control unit 1d determines whether or not the individual number and the telephone number of the monitoring center 3 are registered in the storage unit 1b in step S2. At this time, if it is determined that the information is registered, the central control unit 1d causes the storage unit 1c to operate as shown in step S3.
Based on the telephone number of the monitoring center 3 stored in the monitoring center 3, the communication control unit 1b makes a call to the monitoring center 3 via the communication line 2 and then sends a unique information request signal to the monitoring center 3 as shown in step S4. Send.

Then, as shown in step S5, the monitoring center 3 which has received the unique information request signal has the individual number in the unique information request signal registered in the storage section 3d by the central control section 3c in step S6. If it is determined that it is registered at this time, step S7
As the central control unit 3c, a predetermined individual number from the storage unit d,
That is, the unique information necessary for the initial setting shown in FIG. 3 is extracted from the unique information shown in FIG. 2 relating to the individual number assigned to the newly established terminal device 1, and the communication control unit 3d transmits it via the communication line 2. It is transmitted to the terminal device 1. After that, the terminal device 1 that has received the unique information transmitted from the monitoring center 3 stores the unique information in the storage unit 1c as shown in step S8.
To memorize.

In the embodiment configured as described above, the initial setting of the terminal device 1 can be performed without requiring human operation in the monitoring center 3. That is, it is possible to omit the work of the corresponding personnel of the monitoring center 3 accompanying the transmission of the unique information at the time of initial setting. Note that when the monitoring center 3 receives the unique information request signal from the terminal device 1, once It is also possible to prevent mischief by disconnecting the connection and making a call again from the monitoring center 3 to the terminal device 1 to perform initialization.

[0014]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to omit the work of the response personnel of the monitoring center associated with the transmission of the unique information at the time of initial setting, thereby reducing the labor of the response personnel. The work efficiency can be improved.
