　その後、情報センター装置４は、ステップＳ５３の動作を行う。ステップＳ５３では、情報センター装置４は、ロボット５からエレベーター１の異常の状況の確認結果を示す情報を受信する。その後、情報センター装置４は、ステップＳ５４の動作を行う。ステップＳ５４では、情報センター装置４は、保守員の携帯端末に向けて、エレベーター１の異常の状況の確認結果を示す情報を送信する。その後、情報センター装置４は、動作を終了する。 After that, the information center device 4 performs the operation of step S53.

In step S54, the information center device 4 transmits information indicating the confirmation result of the abnormality status of the elevator 1 to the mobile terminal of the maintenance staff. After that, the information center device 4 ends the operation.
　なお、保守員は、携帯端末においてエレベーター１の異常の状況の確認結果を示す情報を表示させることにより当該異常を把握する。保守員は、当該異常の対応が必要である場合、当該異常を解消する。その結果、エレベーター１は復旧する。 Note that the maintenance staff grasps the abnormality by displaying information indicating the confirmation result of the abnormality status of the elevator 1 on the mobile terminal. When it is necessary to deal with the abnormality, the maintenance staff resolves the abnormality. As a result, the elevator 1 is restored.
　以上で説明した実施の形態１によれば、情報センター装置４は、ロボット５からのエレベーター１等の状況の確認結果を示す情報に基づいて、移動支援装置の状況を判定する。このため、エレベーター１等に新たなセンサを設けることなく、保守員が無用に現地を訪問することを抑制できる。 According to the first embodiment described above, the information center device 4 determines the status of the movement support device based on the information indicating the status confirmation result of the elevator 1 and the like from the robot 5. Therefore, it is possible to prevent maintenance personnel from unnecessarily visiting the site without installing a new sensor in the elevator 1 or the like.
　この際、ロボット５は、エレベーター１等と直接的に連携する必要がない。このため、性能が制限された安価なロボット５を用いて、エレベーター１等の点検を行うことができる。 At this time, the robot 5 does not need to directly cooperate with the elevator 1 and the like. Therefore, the elevator 1 and the like can be inspected by using the inexpensive robot 5 whose performance is limited.
　また、保守員は、定量的なデータに基づいて対応可否を判断できる。このため、保守員が出動した場合の対応を早めることができる。その結果、エレベーター１等の復旧を早めることができる。 In addition, the maintenance staff can judge whether or not to respond based on quantitative data. Therefore, it is possible to speed up the response when the maintenance staff is dispatched. As a result, the restoration of the elevator 1 and the like can be accelerated.
　なお、エレベーター１等の利用者または管理者において対応できる場合、保守員の出動は不要となる。この場合、エレベーター１等の復旧をより早めることができる。 If the user or administrator of the elevator 1 etc. can handle it, it is not necessary to dispatch a maintenance staff. In this case, the restoration of the elevator 1 and the like can be accelerated.
　また、情報センター装置４は、ロボット５に対してだけでなく、エレベーター１等に対しても動作指令を送信する。このため、異常の内容に応じてエレベーター１等を適切に点検することができる。特に、エレベーター１においては、異常の確認を行うために、ロボット５をかご１ｆに乗せることもある。この場合でも、ロボット５をかご１ｆの内部に円滑に移動させることができる。 Further, the information center device 4 transmits an operation command not only to the robot 5 but also to the elevator 1 and the like. Therefore, the elevator 1 and the like can be appropriately inspected according to the content of the abnormality. In particular, in the elevator 1, the robot 5 may be placed on the car 1f in order to confirm the abnormality. Even in this case, the robot 5 can be smoothly moved to the inside of the car 1f.
　なお、かご１ｆが停止した状態で使用不能であり、ロボット５がかご１ｆの停止階と異なる階に配置されている場合、情報センター装置４において、ロボット５に対し、エスカレーター２を利用してかご１ｆの停止階まで移動させる指令の情報を送信してもよい。この場合、エレベーター１の状況を適切に判定することができる。 If the car 1f is stopped and cannot be used, and the robot 5 is located on a floor different from the stop floor of the car 1f, the information center device 4 uses the escalator 2 for the robot 5 to use the car. Information of a command to move to the stop floor of 1f may be transmitted. In this case, the situation of the elevator 1 can be appropriately determined.
　また、かご１ｆが停止した状態で使用不能であり、ロボット５がかご１ｆの停止階と異なる階に配置されており、ロボット５がかご１ｆの停止階に移動する手段がない場合、情報センター装置４において、保守員による対応が必要と判定してもよい。この場合、エレベーター１の復旧をより早めることができる。 Further, when the car 1f is stopped and cannot be used, the robot 5 is located on a floor different from the stop floor of the car 1f, and there is no means for the robot 5 to move to the stop floor of the car 1f, the information center device. In 4, it may be determined that the maintenance staff needs to take action. In this case, the restoration of the elevator 1 can be accelerated.
　また、建築物の管理者等からエレベーター１等の異常を知らせる電話連絡があった場合に、情報センター装置４において、エレベーター１等とロボット５とに対して動作指令の情報を送信してもよい。この場合も、保守員が無用に現地を訪問することを抑制できる。 Further, when the building manager or the like receives a telephone call notifying the abnormality of the elevator 1 or the like, the information center device 4 may transmit the operation command information to the elevator 1 or the like and the robot 5. .. In this case as well, it is possible to prevent maintenance personnel from visiting the site unnecessarily.
　なお、機械室１ｂがなくて昇降路１ａの上部または下部に巻上機１ｄ、エレベーター制御装置１ｊ、エレベーター監視装置１ｋが設けられるエレベーター１において、実施の形態１の点検指示装置を適用してよい。この場合も、保守員が無用に現地を訪問することを抑制できる。 The inspection instruction device of the first embodiment may be applied to the elevator 1 in which the hoisting machine 1d, the elevator control device 1j, and the elevator monitoring device 1k are provided above or below the hoistway 1a without the machine room 1b. .. In this case as well, it is possible to prevent maintenance personnel from visiting the site unnecessarily.
