Next, an example of the advertisement management database will be described. FIG. 5A is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an advertisement management database. The advertisement management database can be provided in, for example, a storage device included in the advertisement management server 140. As shown in FIG. 5A, the advertisement management database 510 includes fields of an identification ID, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator), a file name, a contract period, and an advertisement target condition.

In the advertisement management database 510, records are constructed by setting information in each field. Specifically, one record is configured by setting information corresponding to the corresponding identification ID field, URL field, file name field, contract period field, and advertisement target condition field, respectively.

The identification ID indicates an identifier that uniquely identifies each record. The URL indicates the URL of the advertisement information. The file name indicates the file name of the advertisement information. The advertisement information is information for displaying an advertisement on the display screen 202 of the advertisement display device 120, and can be realized by, for example, an image file such as a still image or a moving image. The advertisement information may be an HTML file, or may be composed of an image file and an HTML file. The advertising information may include audio information.

The advertisement information can be stored in, for example, a storage device included in the advertisement management server 140. The advertisement information is stored not only in the storage device included in the advertisement management server 140, but also in an external storage device connected to the advertisement management server 140 wirelessly or by wire, or in an external storage device on the network 101 accessible to the advertisement management server 140. It may have been done. As an external storage device, specifically, the advertisement information may be stored in the terminal device 150 of the advertiser, for example. The advertisement information managed in the advertisement management database 510 is not limited to the one stored collectively in a single storage device (storage area), but is stored in a plurality of advertisement units or a predetermined number. There may be.

A pre-assigned URL is set for each advertisement information. The URL is assigned to the advertiser (for each contract) by the administrator of the remote monitoring server 110 or the like each time a contract is concluded with the advertiser or the file name related to the advertisement information is determined. For example, the administrator of the remote monitoring server 110 sets the URL for the advertisement information. The advertiser may set the URL for the advertisement information.

Advertising information may include privilege information regarding benefits. The privilege information regarding the privilege is, for example, an advantage that only the occupant of the elevator 130 can be provided and no other person can be provided. Specifically, it includes discounts and special treatment for products and services provided by advertisers. For example, the privilege information may be a discount coupon for a product or service.

The privilege information includes at least the elevator 130 displaying the advertisement, the building in which the elevator 130 is installed (apartment or office building), and the area where the building exists (such as the area specified by the address classification or the distance classification). Information that identifies any one may be included.

Here, the information that identifies the elevator 130 may be, for example, an address or a telephone number, and is given to each elevator 130 when the elevator management company manages each elevator 130. It may be identification information (ID number) or the like. Further, the information for identifying the building in which the elevator 130 is installed may be, for example, the name, address, telephone number, etc. of the building in which the elevator 130 is installed, or the elevator management company may provide information. It may be the identification information given to each building when managing each elevator 130.

The information that identifies the area where the building where the elevator 130 is installed is specifically based on the unit of the address of the building (such as 1-chome, XX town) and the latitude and longitude information of the location of the building. It may be an area centered on (such as within a radius of XX m) or an area centered on the nearest transportation system (such as a subway station) from the location of the building.

The contract period is determined based on the contract concluded between the manager of the own device or the elevator 130 and the advertiser. Specifically, the contract period is determined, for example, by the contract start date and the contract expiration date. Alternatively, the contract period may be determined by the contract start date and the length of the contract period (“1 month”, “3 months”, etc.).

Advertisement target conditions indicate the conditions for displaying advertisements. The advertising target conditions may be set depending on the area where the elevator 130 is installed, such as "in the 23 wards of Tokyo" and "Chuo-ku, Tokyo", such as "residential" and "office building". As described above, it may be set according to the purpose and scale of the building in which the elevator 130 is installed. The advertising target condition is specified by the advertiser, for example. Advertising target conditions may not be set. When the advertisement target condition is not set, all the advertisement display devices 120 can be the display target of the advertisement.

The area where the elevator 130 where the advertisement display device 120 is installed and the purpose and scale of the building where the elevator 130 is installed are assigned to each elevator 130 in the memory 412 of the remote monitoring server 110, for example. Each ID number is stored in advance. The memory 412 of the remote monitoring server 110 further stores the ID number assigned to each elevator 130 and the device identification ID of the advertisement display device 120 installed in the elevator 130 in association with each other. The device identification ID can be realized by information that can uniquely identify each advertisement display device 120, such as the serial number of the advertisement display device 120. Thereby, it is possible to specify which advertisement is displayed on which advertisement display device 120.

The information stored in the advertisement management database 510 is appropriately updated by, for example, the administrator of the advertisement management server 140. Specifically, the administrator of the advertisement management server 140, for example, associates the advertisement information (data1, data2, ...) Passed from the advertiser with the corresponding URL, so that the information stored in the advertisement management database 510 is stored. To update. In addition, the information stored in the advertisement management database 510 is updated by appropriately deleting the advertisement information whose contract period has expired.

The advertisement management database 510 is not limited to the one provided in the storage device included in the advertisement management server 140. The advertisement management database 510 may be provided in, for example, an external storage device capable of communicating with the advertisement management database 510, instead of the storage device included in the advertisement management server 140. Alternatively, the ad management database 510 may include a storage device included in the ad management server 140, an external storage device connected to the ad management server 140 wirelessly or by wire, or external storage on the network 101 accessible to the ad management server 140. It may be distributed in the device.

(Example of advertisement management table)
Next, an example of the advertisement management table will be described. FIG. 5B is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the advertisement management table. The advertisement management table is provided, for example, in a place where the CPU 411 of the remote monitoring server 110 can search without going through the network 101. Specifically, the advertisement management table can be provided, for example, in the memory 412 of the remote monitoring server 110.

As shown in FIG. 5B, the advertisement management table 520 has fields for identification ID, URL, file name, and contract period. In the advertisement management table 520, a record is configured by setting information in each field. Specifically, one record is configured by setting information corresponding to the corresponding identification ID field, URL field, file name field, and contract period field, respectively.

The remote monitoring server 110 accesses the remote monitoring server 110 periodically or at a predetermined timing, and corresponds to the elevator 130 in which the advertisement display device 120 is installed among the records stored in the advertisement management database 510. Acquire the record to be used and update the advertisement management table 520. Specifically, the remote monitoring server 110 acquires, for example, the advertisement management table 520 for the advertisement management server 140 together with the device identification ID, the ID number assigned to the elevator 130 in which the advertisement display device 120 is installed, and the like. Output the request.

The advertisement management server 140 extracts the corresponding record from the advertisement management database 510 in response to the acquisition request of the advertisement management table 520, and outputs a response including the extracted record to the remote monitoring server 110. Buildings (apartments and office buildings) where elevators 130 with advertisement display devices 120 are installed and areas where the buildings are located (areas specified by address classification or distance classification, etc.) are classified for each elevator 130. Since it is different, the advertisement management server 140 may extract the record corresponding to each advertisement display device 120.

The advertisement display device 120 may acquire only the records corresponding to the contract period among the records stored in the advertisement management database 510. As a result, the field of the contract period in the advertisement management table 520 becomes unnecessary, and the storage capacity occupied by the advertisement management table 520 in the memory 402 can be suppressed.

The advertisement management table 520 is provided for each advertisement display device 120 installed in the elevator 130 that is remotely monitored by the remote monitoring server 110. The advertisement display device 120 is identified by a device identification ID assigned to each advertisement display device 120, and a corresponding device identification ID is associated with each of the advertisement management table 520.

(Functional configuration of remote monitoring server 110)
Next, an example of the functional configuration of the remote monitoring server 110 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the remote monitoring server 110 according to the embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 6, the remote monitoring server 110 includes a control unit (specific unit) 601, an advertisement information acquisition unit (acquisition unit) 602, a storage unit 603, and an output unit 604.

The control unit 601 controls the entire remote monitoring server 110. Specifically, the control unit 601 can realize its function by, for example, the CPU 411 shown in FIG. 4B executing a program stored in the memory 412 or the like. For example, the control unit 601 refers to the corresponding advertisement management table 520 among the advertisement management tables 520 provided for each advertisement display device 120, and sets the URL of the advertisement to be displayed by the target advertisement display device 120. Identify.

Specifically, the control unit 601 refers to the advertisement management table 520 associated with the corresponding device identification ID, and refers to the advertisement currently displayed by the target advertisement display device 120 (or the advertisement display device 120 is currently displaying). When the display of the advertisement is stopped, the URL of the next rank of the URL corresponding to the advertisement displayed immediately before) is specified as the URL of the advertisement to be displayed.

In the advertisement management table 520 shown in FIG. 5B, if the URL corresponding to the currently displayed advertisement is "https://www.jes.jp/index/data1", the control unit 601 is placed in the advertisement management table 520. Among the included identification IDs, the URL "https: // www." Corresponding to the identification ID "LF3" including the next largest number "3" after the number "1" included in the identification ID "LF1" corresponding to the URL. "jes.jp/index/data3" is specified as the URL of the advertisement to be displayed.

The advertisement information acquisition unit 602 acquires advertisement information related to the advertisement to be displayed based on the URL specified by the control unit 601. Specifically, the advertisement information acquisition unit 602 can realize its function by, for example, the communication I / F 413 shown in FIG. 4B. The advertisement information acquisition unit 602 can acquire advertisement information from an advertisement management server 140, an advertiser's terminal device 150, or the like (not shown) via the network 101. Further, the advertisement information acquisition unit 602 may acquire advertisement information from an information terminal device such as a smartphone provided by the occupant of the elevator 130.

The advertisement information acquisition unit 602 displays the advertisement next to the advertisement when, for example, the end of the advertisement display on the advertisement display device 120 to be monitored is approaching (when a predetermined number of seconds has passed from the end of the display of the advertisement). Acquire advertising information related to advertisements. Alternatively, the advertisement information acquisition unit 602 may acquire the advertisement information related to the advertisement to be displayed next to the advertisement when the display of one advertisement is completed on the advertisement display device 120, for example. The advertisement displayed on the advertisement display device 120 can be specified, for example, by communicating with the advertisement display device 120.

Alternatively, the advertisement information acquisition unit 602 may acquire the corresponding next advertisement information when, for example, the output of the advertisement information for one impression to the advertisement display device 120 is completed. Alternatively, the advertisement information acquisition unit 602 may acquire the corresponding advertisement information according to the free storage capacity in the storage unit 603, for example. For example, the advertisement information acquisition unit 602 may acquire the advertisement information in units of impressions by the progressive download method, or may acquire the advertisement information in units of packets by the streaming method (on-demand type).

Further, the advertisement information acquisition unit 602 refers to, for example, the advertisement management table 520, and acquires the advertisement information related to the advertisement whose current time is included in the contract period. This is not the case when the advertisement management table 520 includes only the URL corresponding to the contract period, and the advertisement information acquisition unit 602 does not make a judgment regarding the contract period, and the advertisement information corresponding to the URL specified by the control unit 601 is used. To get.

The storage unit 603 stores the advertisement information acquired by the advertisement information acquisition unit 602. Specifically, the storage unit 603 can realize its function by, for example, the memory 412 shown in FIG. 4B. The storage unit 603 may store the advertisement information acquired by the advertisement information acquisition unit 602 as it is, or the advertisement information once acquired by the advertisement information acquisition unit 602 is processed for display by the control unit 601. You may try to memorize what you have.

The storage unit 603 does not store a large amount of advertisement information at the same time, but for example, for each advertisement display device 120, the advertisement information related to one advertisement to be displayed next to the advertisement displayed on the advertisement display device 120. Remember only. As a result, the storage capacity of the memory 412 that realizes the function of the storage unit 603 can be suppressed. Further, even if some error occurs in the advertisement display device 120, the output of the advertisement information by the output unit 604 can be quickly redone.

Alternatively, the storage unit 603 can be used for each advertisement display device 120 to display advertisement information related to the advertisement being displayed on the advertisement display device 120 and a predetermined number (for example, one) of advertisements to be displayed next to the advertisement. Such advertising information may be stored. This also makes it possible to suppress the storage capacity of the memory 412 that realizes the function of the storage unit 603, as compared with the case where each advertisement display device 120 stores all the advertisements to be displayed. Further, even if a communication failure with the advertisement management server 110 or the advertisement display device 120 occurs, the output unit 604 can quickly and surely output the advertisement information related to the next advertisement. It is possible to prevent the display of the advertisement on the display device 120 from being delayed.

Then, the storage unit 603 erases the advertisement information related to the advertisement whose display has been completed in the advertisement display device 120. The storage unit 603 erases the advertisement information related to the displayed advertisement, for example, when the display of one advertisement is finished and the display of the next advertisement is started in the advertisement display device 120. Alternatively, the storage unit 603 may update (overwrite) the advertisement information related to the advertisement whose display has ended with the subsequently acquired advertisement information.

The storage unit 603 stores the advertisement information acquired by the advertisement information acquisition unit 602 in units of impressions, for example. In this case, the storage unit 603 stores the advertisement information for one impression related to the advertisement until the display of the advertisement for one impression is completed on the advertisement display device 120, and displays the advertisement on the advertisement display device 120. With the end of, the advertisement information related to the advertisement that has been displayed is deleted (updated).

Alternatively, the storage unit 603 may store the advertisement information acquired by the advertisement information acquisition unit 602 in packet units instead of storing in impression units. In this case, the storage unit 603 erases (updates) the stored advertisement information in units of packets provided for display in the advertisement display device 120.

The output unit 604 outputs the advertisement information acquired by the advertisement information acquisition unit 602 and stored in the storage unit 603 to the advertisement display device 120. Specifically, the output unit 604 can realize its function by, for example, the communication I / F 413 shown in FIG. 4B.

For example, when the output unit 604 outputs the advertisement information in units of impressions in the storage unit 603, the output unit 604 continues to output the advertisement information until the output of the advertisement information for one impression is completed. Then, after the output of the advertisement information for one impression is completed, the advertisement information for which the output is completed (reception on the advertisement display device 120 is completed) is deleted from the storage unit 603. Further, in this case, the advertisement display device 120 starts displaying (downloading and playing) the advertisement on the display screen 202 after the reception of the advertisement information related to the advertisement for one impression is completed.

The output unit 604 may output the advertisement information in packet units in parallel with the acquisition of the advertisement information by the advertisement information acquisition unit 602, for example. In this case, the output unit 604 can output the advertisement information in parallel with the acquisition and storage of a plurality of packets constituting the advertisement information related to the advertisement for one impression. Further, in this case, the advertisement display device 120 may display the advertisement on the display screen 202 based on the received packet, that is, perform streaming reproduction before the reception of the advertisement information for one impression is completed.

The output unit 604 may output advertisement information according to the operating status of the elevator 130. The output unit 604 outputs advertisement information, for example, when an operation abnormality is not detected in the elevator 130. The operating status of the elevator 130 can be determined, for example, based on the alarm signal output from the elevator 130. Specifically, when the alarm signal output from the elevator 130 is received, it can be detected that an operation abnormality has occurred in the elevator 130.

The output unit 604 may output the management information of the elevator 130 such as the maintenance schedule to the advertisement display device 120 in place of the advertisement information or, as shown in FIG. 3, together with the advertisement information. The management information is transmitted from the remote monitoring server to the advertisement display device 120 at a predetermined timing, for example. Alternatively, the management information may be appropriately transmitted to the advertisement display device 120 by, for example, the administrator of the elevator 130. The management information may include information indicating a period (display start date / time, display end date / time, etc.) for displaying the management information on the display screen 202.

The management information may be an image of the operator of the management department that manages the elevator. The operator's image may be a still image or a moving image. The operator's image may be pre-captured (recorded) or may be captured in real time.

When the advertisement display device 120 receives the management information output by the output unit 604, the advertisement display device 120 can display the advertisement information and the management information at the same time on one display screen 202. In this case, specifically, the advertisement display device 120 divides the display screen 202 into a plurality of areas, displays the advertisement information in one area, and displays the management information in another area. Alternatively, the advertisement display device 120 may display the management information superimposed on a part of the advertisement information.

(Processing procedure of remote monitoring server 110)
Next, the processing procedure of the remote monitoring server 110 will be described. 7 and 8 are flowcharts showing a processing procedure of the remote monitoring server 110 according to the present invention. The remote monitoring server 110 repeats the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7 for each target advertisement display device 120.

In the flowchart of FIG. 7, first, it waits until it is time to acquire the advertisement information (step S701: No). In step S701, for example, when the output of the advertisement information for one impression to the advertisement display device 120 is completed, it is determined that it is the acquisition timing of the advertisement information. Alternatively, in step S701, for example, based on the free storage capacity in the memory 423, when the free storage capacity becomes equal to or less than a preset predetermined threshold value, it may be determined that it is the acquisition timing of the advertisement information.

In step S701, when it is the timing to acquire the advertisement information (step S701: Yes), the advertisement management table 520 is searched (step S702), and the corresponding URL is specified (step S703). In step S703, for example, the URL of the next order of the URL associated with the advertisement information related to the advertisement currently being displayed on the advertisement display device 120 is specified as the URL of the advertisement to be displayed. Alternatively, when the display of the advertisement is currently stopped in the advertisement display device 120, in step S703, for example, the URL of the next order of the URL associated with the advertisement information related to the advertisement displayed immediately before is displayed. It is specified as the URL of the advertisement.

Next, the advertisement information is acquired based on the URL specified in step S703 (step S704). In step S704, based on the URL specified in step S703, an inquiry is made to the DNS (Domain Name System) server to acquire the IP address of the storage device that stores the corresponding advertisement information, and the acquired IP address is assigned. By accessing the storage device, the corresponding advertising information can be acquired.

Then, the advertisement information acquired in step S704 is stored in the memory 423 (step S705). In step S705, the acquired advertisement information may be stored in the memory 423 in units of impressions, or may be stored in the memory 423 in units of packets.

Next, it is determined whether or not to output the advertisement information acquired in step S704 and stored in the memory 423 in step S705 to the advertisement display device 120 (step S706). In step S706, it waits until it is determined that the advertisement information is output (step S706: No). In step S706, for example, it is determined that the advertisement information is output when the display of the advertisement for one impression is completed in the advertisement display device 120. Alternatively, in step S706, for example, when the output of the previous advertisement information is completed, it is determined that the next advertisement information is output.

When the advertisement information is output in step S706 (step S706: Yes), the advertisement information is output to the advertisement display device 120 (step S707). In step S707, the advertisement information may be output in units of impressions, or the advertisement information may be output in units of packets in accordance with the advertisement display by the streaming method (on-demand type) in the advertisement display device 120.

Then, it is determined whether or not the output of the advertisement information in step S707 is completed (step S708), and if it is not completed (step S708: No), the process proceeds to step S707, and the output of the corresponding advertisement information is continued. Do it. On the other hand, when the output of the advertisement information in step S707 is completed (step S708: Yes), the advertisement information determined to have been output is deleted from the memory 423 (step S709), and the series of processes is completed. In step S709, the advertisement information may be deleted in units of impressions or in units of packets.

In the flowchart of FIG. 8, first, it waits until the alarm signal is received (step S801: No). As described above, the alarm signal is output from the control board 136 of the elevator 130 in which the operation abnormality is detected. When the alarm signal is received in step S801 (step S801: Yes), the elevator 130 (ID number) that is the output source of the alarm signal is specified based on the alarm signal (step S802). The cause of the alarm is identified (step S803). Further, the advertisement display device 120 (device identification ID) is specified based on the elevator 130 specified in step S802 (step S804).

Next, it is determined whether or not the advertisement information is being output to the advertisement display device 120 specified in step S804 (step S805). If the advertisement information is not being output in step S805 (step S805: No), the process proceeds to step S807. On the other hand, in step S805, when the advertisement information is being output (step S805: Yes), the output of the advertisement information is interrupted (step S806).

Next, the image of the operator is acquired (step S807). In step S807, an image of the operator corresponding to the alarm cause identified in step S803 is acquired. The image of the operator to be acquired may be a still image or a moving image. Further, the image of the operator to be acquired may be an image captured (recorded) in advance, or may be an image captured in real time. Further, the image of the operator to be acquired may be appropriately selected according to the cause of occurrence.

Specifically, in step S807, for example, when the cause of the alarm is a failure occurring in a specific elevator 130, an image of the operator captured in real time is acquired, and when the cause of the alarm is an earthquake, the image of the operator is acquired in advance. Acquire the recorded image of the operator.

After that, the image of the operator acquired in step S807 is output to the advertisement display device 120 specified in step S804 (step S808), and a series of processes is completed. As a result, the image of the operator can be displayed on the display screen 202 of the advertisement display device 120 installed in the elevator 130, which is the output source of the alarm signal received in step S801: Yes.

Specifically, for example, on the display screen 202 of the advertisement display device 120 installed in the elevator 130 that outputs the alarm signal due to the occurrence of a failure, images are taken in real time according to the situation of the occupants in the basket 131. The image of the operator to be displayed can be displayed. Specifically, for example, on the display screen 202 of the advertisement display device 120 installed in the elevator 130 that outputs the alarm signal due to the occurrence of an earthquake, a pre-recorded image of the operator is displayed. be able to.

In this way, by making the image of the operator output to the advertisement display device 120 different according to the cause of the alarm, detailed measures can be taken according to the situation of the occupants in the basket 131, and at the same time, from a plurality of elevators 130. Even in situations where it is difficult to respond individually to each elevator 130, such as when an earthquake is expected to be issued, useful information is quickly and reliably transmitted to the occupants in each basket 131. be able to.

In the above-described embodiment, the advertisement system 100 in which the remote monitoring server 110 and the advertisement display device 120 communicate with each other via the network has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this.

For example, the control board 136 may relay the communication between the remote monitoring server 110 and the advertisement display device 120. In this case, communication in an ad hoc mode or multi-hop communication can be performed between the advertisement display device 120 and the control board 136, or the advertisement display device 120 and the control board 136 can be connected by wire.

In this way, the communication between the remote monitoring server 110 and the advertisement display device 120 is relayed by the control board 136 in which the communication with the remote monitoring server 110 is established in advance, so that the basket 131 in which the advertisement display device 120 is installed is relayed. The advertisement can be reliably displayed in the basket 131 regardless of the reception environment of the radio waves in the cage 131.

Further, for example, the communication between the remote monitoring server 110 and the advertisement display device 120 may be relayed by the monitoring device that relays the communication between the remote monitoring server 110 and the control board 136. Also in this case, communication in an ad hoc mode or multi-hop communication can be performed between the advertisement display device 120 and the monitoring device, or the advertisement display device 120 and the monitoring device can be connected by wire. As a result, the advertisement can be reliably displayed in the basket 131 regardless of the reception environment of the radio waves in the basket 131 in which the advertisement display device 120 is installed.

As described above, the remote monitoring server 110 of the embodiment according to the present invention is a remote monitoring server 110 installed at a remote location of the advertisement 130 and remotely monitoring the elevator 130, and is in the basket 131 of the elevator 130. Among the URLs set for each advertisement information related to the advertisement to be performed to the occupants of the elevator 130 via the display screen 202 included in the provided advertisement display device 120 and indicating the storage position of the advertisement information, the advertisement to be displayed. The control unit (specific unit) 601 that specifies the URL of the advertisement, the acquisition unit 602 that acquires the advertisement information related to the advertisement to be displayed based on the URL specified by the control unit 601, and the advertisement display device 120. It is characterized by including an output unit 604 that outputs the advertisement information acquired by the acquisition unit 602.
