Embodiment 1 FIG.
1 is a block diagram of a building equipment management apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, a management area (not shown) is divided into a plurality of management areas. A device 1 is installed in each management area. A user in the management area carries a hands-free IC tag 2.

Each management area is managed by the cooperation system 3. The linkage system 3 is a building facility management device including an entrance / exit management device 4 and a building management device 5. The entrance / exit management device 4 has a function of managing entrance / exit of each user. The building management apparatus 5 has a function of controlling each device 1.

Next, the entrance / exit management device 4 will be specifically described.
The entrance / exit management device 4 includes an IC tag reading unit 4a, a storage unit 4b, an authentication unit 4c, and a determination unit 4d.

IC tag reader 4a is provided in each management area. The IC tag reading unit 4a functions as an identification unit that reads information on the IC tag 2 carried by the user and identifies the user. The storage unit 4b functions as a storage unit that stores personal information. The personal information includes authentication information, image information, and assumed route information for each user. The authentication unit 4c has a function of authenticating the user based on the information of the IC tag 2 and the authentication information. The determination unit 4d has a function of acquiring assumed route information corresponding to the authenticated user.

Next, the building management apparatus 5 will be specifically described.
The building management apparatus 5 includes a device control unit 5a, a storage unit 5b, and a control unit 5c.

The device control unit 5a is provided corresponding to each device 1. The device control unit 5 a has a function of controlling each device 1. The storage unit 5b has a function of storing device information. The device information includes information on the management area associated with each device 1. The control unit 5c functions as a control unit that controls each device 1 via each device control unit 5a based on the assumed route information acquired by the determination unit 4d of the entry / exit management device 4.

Next, operation | movement of the cooperation system 3 is demonstrated using FIG.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the building facility management apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

First, in step 1, the IC tag reading unit 4 a of the entry / exit management device 4 performs the detection process of the IC tag 2. When the IC tag 2 is not detected, the cooperation system 3 is in a standby state until the IC tag 2 is detected. On the other hand, if the IC tag 2 is detected, the process proceeds to step S2.

In step S2, the authentication unit 4c of the entrance / exit management device 4 performs a user authentication process. If the user is not authenticated, the process returns to step S1. On the other hand, if the user is authenticated, the process proceeds to step S3.

In step S3, the determination unit 4d of the entry / exit management device 4 performs route determination processing. Specifically, the determination unit 4d of the entrance / exit management device 4 determines the assumed route based on the assumed route information corresponding to the number of the IC tag 2 and the number of the IC tag reading unit 4a that detected the IC tag 2. Get information on each management area above.

Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S4, where the control unit 5c of the building management apparatus 5 performs a control device determination process. Specifically, the control unit 5c of the building management apparatus 5 determines that the device 1 corresponding to each management area on the assumed route is to be controlled.

Then, it progresses to step S5 and the control part 5c of the building management apparatus 5 performs a control output process. Specifically, the control unit 5c of the building management apparatus 5 outputs a control command to the device control unit 5a corresponding to the device 1 to be controlled, and returns to step S1.

Next, the control method when the illumination is the device 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of a management area managed by the building facility management apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

In FIG. 3, the first management area and the second management area are adjacent to each other on the assumed route of the user. An illumination 6a is provided on the ceiling surface of the first management area. An illumination 6b is provided on the ceiling surface of the second management area. These

lights

6a and 6b are turned off.

Suppose that the user 7 moves from the first management area to the second management area in this state. In this case, the cooperation system 3 detects that the user 7 is in the first management area. At this time, the cooperation system 3 lights the illumination 6a of the first management area. Thereby, the whole 1st management area becomes bright. On the other hand, the cooperation system 3 maintains the lights 6b in the second management area off. As a result, the entire second management area remains dark.

Thereafter, when the user 7 moves to the second management area, the linkage system 3 detects that the user 7 is in the second management area. At this time, the cooperation system 3 turns off the illumination 6a in the first management area. Thereby, the whole 1st management area becomes dark. On the other hand, the cooperation system 3 lights the illumination 6b of the second management area. Thereby, the whole 2nd management area becomes bright.

According to the first embodiment described above, the

lights

6a and 6b in the vicinity of the assumed route corresponding to the identified user 7 are sequentially controlled. For this reason, for example, it is possible to guide a user 7 such as a patrol person who patrols each guarded management area to the route. At this time, in accordance with the control of the

lights

6a and 6b, if the security mode is canceled, the guide lights are turned on or blinking, the buzzer or the voice guidance is sounded, the unlocking control of the management door on the assumed route is performed, the user 7 Can move the assumed route with confidence without operating the

lights

6a, 6b and the like.

Further, when the user 7 is identified in the vicinity on the assumed route, the

lights

6a and 6b in the vicinity of the identifying means for identifying the user 7 are controlled. For this reason, the power consumption of

illumination

6a, 6b can be suppressed.

In addition, it is not always necessary to provide the IC tag reading unit 4a of the entrance / exit management device 4 in each management area. For example, the IC tag reading unit 4a of the entrance / exit management device 4 may be provided only at the entrance / exit of the management area. In this case, the starting point of the assumed route corresponding to the user 7 is used as the entrance / exit of the management area, and the illumination in the vicinity of the assumed route is sequentially controlled from the illumination in the vicinity of the assumed route to the illumination in the vicinity of the end point of the assumed route. That's fine. This control can also guide the user 7 to the route.

Further, when the user 7 is identified in the vicinity of the assumed route, the illumination adjacent to the movement destination side of the illumination in the vicinity of the identification means identifying the user 7 may be controlled. In this case, the user 7 can easily recognize the destination.

Also, there is no need to limit the method of guiding the user 7 to the route to lighting. For example, the user 7 can be guided to the route even if the lighting in the vicinity of the assumed route is sequentially blinked. Even if the lighting control in the vicinity of the assumed route is temporarily changed one after another, the user 7 can be guided to the route. On the other hand, if all the lights in the vicinity of the assumed route are turned on and then turned off in sequence, the user 7 can confirm that the correct route is being passed.

As described above, the content to be controlled may be selected from all the controls for the illumination on the assumed route according to the purpose. For example, when the assumed route is turned back during patrol of an office building, different control may be performed on the forward route and the return route. Specifically, in the forward path, the illumination in the vicinity of the assumed path may be sequentially turned on in accordance with the movement of the user 7. On the other hand, on the return route, the illumination on the assumed route may be sequentially turned off in accordance with the movement of the user 7. According to this control, the illumination can be automatically turned off after the patrol is completed while guiding the user 7 to the route.

Also, the device 1 to be controlled may be all devices that can be controlled by the building management device 5. For example, an air conditioner may be a control target. In this case, the content to be controlled may be selected according to the purpose from among all the controls for the air conditioner on the assumed route, similarly to the lighting. For example, the air conditioner on / off, cooling / heating, temperature setting, humidity setting, etc. may be controlled.

Further, when the management area is a factory, an electric motor that drives a valve, a fan, a pump or the like may be controlled in accordance with the movement of the user 7.

Steps S1 to S5 are the same as those in FIG. 2 of the first embodiment. In the third embodiment, after step S5, the process proceeds to step S6. In step S6, the image determination unit 4e of the entrance / exit management device 4 performs an image determination process. Specifically, the image determination unit 4e of the entry / exit management device 4 detects the user 7 based on the image information of the personal information.

When the user 7 is not detected, the linkage system 3 is in a standby state until the user 7 is detected. When the user 7 is detected, it returns to step S3 and the determination part 4d of the entrance / exit management apparatus 4 repeats a route determination process.

At this time, when the camera 9 away from the originally assumed route detects the user 7, the cooperation system 3 changes the device 1 to be controlled. Specifically, the cooperation system 3 sequentially controls the devices 1 from the device 1 corresponding to the camera 9 that has detected the user 7 toward the device 1 in the vicinity of the initial assumed route.

According to the third embodiment described above, the route determination process is repeated. For this reason, even if the user 7 makes a mistake in the route, the user 7 can be guided back to the correct route.

The tracking of the user 7 is performed by the camera 9. For this reason, the user 7 can be identified more reliably.
