Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a maintenance staff position grasping system for grasping the position of a maintenance staff who is inspecting while inspecting a plurality of structures to be inspected.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a remote monitoring system has been adopted for remotely monitoring equipment inside a building, such as an elevator and a water supply device. This remote monitoring system includes one monitoring center for monitoring the facilities in a large number of buildings, a monitoring terminal provided in each building for monitoring the facilities in the building, and a monitoring terminal and a monitoring center in each building. It is composed of a communication line for connecting, for example, a telephone line. When an abnormality occurs in equipment in a building, the monitoring terminal of the building detects the abnormality and reports it to the monitoring center via a communication line. The monitoring center
When this notification is received, the occurrence of the abnormality is reported to the management department that manages the maintenance of the building, for example, the sales office. When the sales office receives a report on the occurrence of an abnormality, if the abnormality is important, the maintenance staff who belongs to the sales office will be dispatched to the building to deal with the abnormality.

On the other hand, the sales office carries out maintenance and inspection of the facilities in the building by the maintenance personnel according to the contract contents for the building for which the maintenance and inspection is contracted. Usually, dozens of maintenance staff members belong to the sales office, and each maintenance staff is in charge of maintenance and inspection of a considerable number of buildings every day and patrols these buildings.

[0004]

In the above remote monitoring system, the sales office dispatches a maintenance staff by notifying that an abnormality has occurred, but when the abnormality is serious, for example, passengers are trapped in an elevator car. In the case of an abnormal condition, the life of passengers will be affected, and therefore maintenance personnel must be dispatched promptly. Therefore, when such an abnormality occurs, the sales office searches for a maintenance staff member who is closest to the abnormality occurrence building and orders the maintenance staff member to dispatch to the abnormality occurrence building.

However, the sales office only has a building patrol schedule in which the names of the buildings that each maintenance staff visits on the day are listed, and it is impossible to grasp the current position of each maintenance staff from this building patrol schedule. Have difficulty. For this reason, at the sales office, from experience, they dispatched this maintenance staff to the building where the abnormality occurred, with an estimate of the maintenance staff who would be closest to the building where the abnormality occurred. It was difficult to select maintenance personnel who were in a short distance, and there was a risk of delay in processing abnormal conditions.

Further, when a wide area disaster, for example, an earthquake occurs, elevators in an area of a certain area are stopped all at once. At this time, several tens of elevators must be restored per maintenance staff in a short time, and more efficient restoration is desired than the occurrence of a single abnormality. However, even in this case, the sales office cannot grasp the exact position of the maintenance staff, and therefore, he / she needs to give instructions to a plurality of sites that are closer to his experience. In this case, it is difficult to instruct efficient recovery work. Furthermore, since the maintenance personnel move between the buildings, there is a risk of accidents such as traffic accidents, but the sales office cannot know this, which poses a safety management problem for the maintenance personnel.

An object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the above-mentioned conventional means and to provide a maintenance staff position grasping system capable of surely grasping the current position of the maintenance staff who is making a patrol at a sales office.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a computer, a GPS receiver, and a wireless communication device carried by a maintenance person who belongs to a management department that manages an inspection target building, and the management. Be prepared for the department,
A storage unit that stores map data including all buildings to be managed, and the storage unit when the latitude and longitude position data of the current position of the maintenance worker is input from a wireless communication device carried by the maintenance worker. The current position of the maintenance person concerned is written in the map data taken out from the position information input means for erasing this position data when the position data of the same maintenance person already exists.

With the configuration of the present invention as described above, the maintenance staff can obtain the latitude and longitude position data from the GPS receiver at a predetermined time, for example, at the end of maintenance and inspection work in a building. Alternatively, the position data and the time at that time are received, and the position data (or the position data and the time) is transmitted to the business office via the computer and the wireless communication device. At the business office, based on the transmitted position data (or position data and time), the position data (or position data and time) is written in the map data retrieved from the storage unit together with the code of the maintenance person. In addition, when the data about the said maintenance person is already written, that data is erased and new position data (or position data and time) is written.
As a result, the position data (or position data and time) of each maintenance worker is written in the map data, and by displaying the map data on the display unit, all maintenance workers who are patrolling the map can see. Since the positions are displayed, the positions of these maintenance personnel can be surely grasped, and even in the event of a serious abnormality or wide-area disaster, it is possible to respond more swiftly. Also, by displaying the time, it is possible to detect an accident that has occurred to the maintenance personnel.
