[0015] Figure 3 It means by Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a work report created by the work report creation support system. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] Implementation Method 1

[0017] Figure 1 1 is a structural diagram showing the main parts of an elevator to which the work report preparation support system of Embodiment 1 is applied. A hoistway 1 is provided in a building. In the hoistway 1, a car 2 is provided to be movable in the up and down directions. A pair of car suspension wheels 3 are provided at the lower part of the car 2. A main rope 4 is wound around the pair of car suspension wheels 3. The car 2 is suspended in the hoistway 1 by the main rope 4.

[0018] A traction machine (not shown) is provided at the upper part of the hoistway 1 to generate a driving force for moving the car 2. The main rope 4 is wound around a driving sheave of the traction machine. The driving sheave rotates by the driving force of the traction machine, thereby moving the car 2 in the hoistway 1 in the vertical direction.

[0019] The buffer 6 is provided in the pit portion 5 which is the lower end portion of the hoistway 1. When the car 2 falls due to some reason, the buffer 6 receives the car 2, thereby relieving the impact applied to the car 2.

[0020] The car operating panel 8 is provided on the inner wall of the car 2. The car operating panel 8 is provided with a plurality of in-car operation buttons and in-car indicators.

[0021] The hall operating panel 9 is installed at the hall 7 of each floor. The hall operating panel 9 is provided with a plurality of hall operating buttons and hall indicators.

[0022] A control panel 10 is provided in the hoistway 1. The control panel 10 controls the operation of the elevator based on information from the car operating panel 8 and the landing operating panel 9. The operation of the elevator is controlled by controlling the traction machine.

[0023] When performing maintenance and inspection work on the elevator, the maintenance personnel 21 performs maintenance and inspection work on a plurality of maintenance target devices. In the present embodiment, the landing operation panel 9, the buffer 6, the car operation panel 8 and the traction machine become a plurality of maintenance target devices. In addition, when the maintenance personnel 21 performs maintenance and inspection work, the maintenance and inspection work of the corresponding maintenance target devices is performed at a plurality of set work places.

[0024] In this embodiment, four set working places are set corresponding to the landing operation panel 9, the buffer 6, the car operation panel 8 and the traction machine. Specifically, the landing 7 corresponding to the landing operation panel 9, the pit 5 of the hoistway 1 corresponding to the buffer 6, the inside of the car 2 corresponding to the car operation panel 8, and the car 2 corresponding to the traction machine are set as the set working places. In addition, the maintenance inspection work of the traction machine is performed while the maintenance personnel 21 is riding on the car 2.

[0025] The work report preparation support system includes a plurality of beacons 31 , a portable terminal 41 , and a server 51 .

[0026] The portable terminal 41 includes a portable terminal body 42 and an input unit 43 .

[0027] A beacon 31a is provided at the landing operating panel 9. A beacon 31b is provided at the pit portion 5 of the hoistway 1. A beacon 31c is provided at the car operating panel 8. A beacon 31d is provided on the ceiling of the car 2. In the present embodiment, four beacons 31a to 31d are included as the plurality of beacons 31 in the work report preparation supporting system.

[0028] The plurality of beacons 31 transmit mutually different inherent radio waves to the plurality of set working places. In the present embodiment, the beacon 31a transmits mutually different inherent radio waves to the landing station 7, the beacon 31b transmits mutually different inherent radio waves to the pit portion 5, the beacon 31c transmits mutually different inherent radio waves to the inside of the car 2, and the beacon 31d transmits mutually different inherent radio waves to the car 2.

[0029] The unique radio waves transmitted from each of the plurality of beacons 31 include identification information of the beacon 31 .

[0030] Specifically, the plurality of beacons 31 transmit radio waves conforming to the BLE (Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy) standard.

[0031] Furthermore, work place information indicating a set work place is stored in the portable terminal body 42 and the server 51. The work place information is information on the installation place of the beacon 31.

[0032] Furthermore, the work place information and the identification information of the beacon 31 are associated with each other and stored in the portable terminal body 42 and the server 51 .

[0033] The identification information of the beacon 31 is information for identifying the unique radio waves transmitted by each of the plurality of beacons 31 .

[0034] In this embodiment, when the maintenance personnel 21 is located at the floor station 7, the radio waves transmitted by the beacon 31a are received as received radio waves by the portable terminal main body 42 carried by the maintenance personnel 21. The portable terminal main body 42 calculates the work place information of the floor station 7 which is the set work place corresponding to the received radio waves received this time in the pre-stored set work places based on the received radio waves.

[0035] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when the maintenance personnel 21 is located in the pit section 5, the radio waves transmitted by the beacon 31b are received as received radio waves by the portable terminal main body 42 carried by the maintenance personnel 21. The portable terminal main body 42 calculates the work place information of the pit section 5 which is the set work place corresponding to the received radio waves received this time among the pre-stored set work places based on the received radio waves.

[0036] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when the maintenance personnel 21 is in the car 2, the radio waves transmitted by the beacon 31c are received as received radio waves by the portable terminal main body 42 carried by the maintenance personnel 21. The portable terminal main body 42 calculates the work place information in the car 2 as the set work place corresponding to the received radio waves received this time in the pre-stored set work places based on the received radio waves.

[0037] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when the maintenance personnel 21 is on the car 2, the radio waves transmitted by the beacon 31d are received as received radio waves by the portable terminal main body 42 carried by the maintenance personnel 21. The portable terminal main body 42 calculates the work place information on the car 2 which is the set work place corresponding to the received radio waves received this time among the pre-stored set work places based on the received radio waves.

[0038] That is, the portable terminal body 42 receives the specific radio wave transmitted from the beacon 31 at any set work location among the plurality of set work locations as the received radio wave. In addition, the portable terminal body 42 calculates the work location information indicating the set work location corresponding to the received radio wave based on the received radio wave.

[0039] In addition, in the above description, an example is described in which the work place information is also stored in the portable terminal body 42, but as long as the identification information of the beacon 31 can be extracted from the received radio waves received from the beacon 31, the portable terminal body 42 may not store the work place information. For example, the beacon 31 can also send a unique radio wave and push a notification to the portable terminal body 42, so that the portable terminal body 42 inquires the server 51 for the work place information based on the received radio waves received from the beacon 31.

[0040] In addition, the portable terminal body 42 can also calculate the work place information based on the intensity of the received radio wave received from the beacon 31. For example, the portable terminal body 42 receives the strongest radio wave among the multiple radio waves sent from the beacon 31 as the received radio wave. In this way, the portable terminal body 42 can determine the location of the beacon 31 closest to the portable terminal body 42.

[0041] In addition, the portable terminal body 42 may also send the identification information of the beacon 31 contained in the received radio wave to the server 51 each time the received radio wave is received from the beacon 31. Thus, the server 51 can accumulate a log of the identification information of the beacon 31. In addition, the log is equivalent to the historical information of the identification information of the beacon 31. The identification information of the beacon 31 is associated with the work place information, and the work place information is stored in the server 51.

[0042] Thus, the server 51 can use the log not only for the action management of the maintenance personnel 21, but also for the action state management of the beacon 31. For example, when the reception frequency of the identification information of a specific beacon 31 among the identification information of a plurality of beacons 31 is low, the remaining battery of the beacon 31 with the low reception frequency may be reduced. In this case, the server 51 can also prompt the maintenance personnel 21 to replace the battery of the beacon 31 with the low reception frequency through the portable terminal 41.

[0043] Furthermore, the identification information of the beacon 31 may be constituted by a location information code issued by the National Geographic Information Bureau.

[0044] The mobile terminal body 42 calculates the operation time information indicating the operation time corresponding to the received radio wave based on the reception duration which is the time from the reception start time of the received radio wave to the reception stop time of the received radio wave.

[0045] Specifically, the beacon 31 repeatedly transmits the inherent radio wave at a fixed transmission interval. Therefore, if the portable terminal body 42 is within the reach of the inherent radio wave transmitted from the beacon 31, the portable terminal body 42 repeatedly receives the inherent radio wave from the beacon 31 as a received radio wave.

[0046] Thus, the portable terminal body 42 can obtain the total time of the reception duration of the received radio wave. In addition, the total time of the reception duration can be directly set as the operation time, or the time after deducting the time not equivalent to the substantial operation time in the total time of the reception duration can be set as the operation time.

[0047] The portable terminal body 42 has a function of receiving the specific radio wave transmitted from the beacon 31 as the received radio wave. In addition, the portable terminal body 42 has a function of communicating with the server 51 via the Internet 61 .

[0048] The input unit 43 has a function of being able to input content information indicating the content of work into the portable terminal body 42. The input unit 43 is constituted by, for example, a touch panel display in which a touch panel is superimposed on a liquid crystal display.

[0049] The mobile terminal main body 42 creates action information in which the work place information and the work time information are associated with each other.

[0050] When content information is input from the input unit 43 , the portable terminal body 42 creates work information that associates the content information with the action information.

[0051] The portable terminal body 42 includes the operation information in the report information.

[0052] The portable terminal body 42 transmits report information including the work information to the server 51. In this case, the server 51 receives the report information from the portable terminal body 42 via the Internet 61.

[0053] In addition, in the above description, an example is described in which the report information includes the operation information that associates the content information with the action information, but the information included in the report information is not limited to this. For example, the report information may also include the action information that is not associated with the content information. In this case, the report information sent from the portable terminal body 42 to the server 51 does not include the content information, but the server 51 can accumulate the action information. The action information is formed by associating the work place information with the work time information. Therefore, the server 51 can also use the action information to manage the actions of the maintenance personnel 21.

[0054] Furthermore, when two or more action information having different reception start times for receiving radio waves are generated, the portable terminal body 42 can select any action information from the two or more action information as selected action information to input content information by operating the input unit 43. In this case, the portable terminal body 42 generates operation information that associates the content information with the selected action information.

[0055] In addition, the details of the report information will be used Figure 3 Explained later.

[0056] Next, use Figure 2 and Figure 3 An operation example of the work report preparation support system and an example of a work report reflecting report information will be described.

[0057] Figure 2 Yes Description Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an operation example of the work report preparation support system. Figure 3 It means by Figure 1FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a work report created by the work report creation support system.

[0058] (Operation Example of Beacon 31)

[0059] In step S1, the beacon 31 determines whether a certain time has passed since the last transmission of the radio wave. If the beacon 31 determines that a certain time has passed since the last transmission of the radio wave, the processing of step S1 is transferred to the processing of step S2. If the beacon 31 determines that a certain time has not passed since the last transmission of the radio wave, the processing of step S1 is continued. Here, the certain time is the transmission interval of the inherent radio wave transmitted from the beacon 31.

[0060] In step S2, the beacon 31 transmits radio waves, and the process of step S2 returns to the process of step S1.

[0061] (Operation Example of Portable Terminal 41)

[0062] In step S11, the portable terminal 41 determines whether there is a work start instruction. If the portable terminal 41 determines that there is a work start instruction, the process of step S11 is transferred to the process of step S12. If the portable terminal 41 determines that there is no work start instruction, the process of step S11 is continued.

[0063] The operation start instruction is an instruction issued when the operation mode of the elevator application installed in the portable terminal 41 is transferred from the normal mode to the maintenance mode. For example, the normal mode is a mode in which the operation of calling the car 2 can be performed. The maintenance mode is a mode used by the maintenance personnel 21 in the maintenance and inspection work of the elevator. The operation report preparation support system uses the transfer to the maintenance mode as a trigger to make the multiple beacons 31, the portable terminal 41 and the server 51 work together to achieve the present embodiment. Figure 2 The following is an example of the action shown.

[0064] In step S12, the portable terminal 41 determines whether or not radio wave reception has started. If the portable terminal 41 determines that radio wave reception has started, the process of step S12 is transferred to the process of step S13. If the portable terminal 41 determines that radio wave reception has not started, the process of step S12 is continued.

[0065] In step S13 , the portable terminal 41 calculates the work place information.

[0066] In step S14, the portable terminal 41 determines whether the reception of radio waves has stopped. If the portable terminal 41 determines that the reception of radio waves has stopped, the process of step S14 is transferred to the process of step S15. If the portable terminal 41 determines that the reception of radio waves has not stopped, the process of step S14 is repeated.

[0067] In step S15 , the portable terminal 41 calculates the work time information.

[0068] In step S16 , the mobile terminal 41 creates action information in which the work location information calculated in step S13 and the work time information calculated in step S15 are associated with each other.

[0069] In step S17, the portable terminal 41 determines whether there is a job end instruction. If the portable terminal 41 determines that there is a job end instruction, the process of step S17 is transferred to the process of step S18. If the portable terminal 41 determines that there is no job end instruction, the process of step S17 returns to the process of step S12.

[0070] The work end command is a command issued when the operation mode of the elevator application installed in the mobile terminal 41 is shifted from the maintenance mode to the normal mode.

[0071] In step S18, the portable terminal 41 determines whether the action information is selected. If the portable terminal 41 determines that the action information is selected, the process of step S18 is transferred to the process of step S19. If the portable terminal 41 determines that the action information is not selected, the process of step S18 is continued.

[0072] Here, when it is determined that the action information is selected, it means that any action information among two or more action information is selected as the selected action information by the operation input unit 43 .

[0073] In step S19, the portable terminal 41 determines whether content information is input. If the portable terminal 41 determines that content information is input, the process of step S19 is transferred to the process of step S20. If the portable terminal 41 determines that content information is not input, the process of step S19 is continued.

[0074] Here, when it is determined that the content information is input, it means that the selected action information is selected and the content information corresponding to the selected selected action information is input.

[0075] In step S20 , the portable terminal 41 creates work information that associates the content information in step S19 with the selected action information in step S18 .

[0076] In step S21 , the portable terminal 41 creates report information including the work information in step S20 .

[0077] In step S22 , the portable terminal 41 transmits the report information, and the process of step S22 returns to the process of step S11 .

[0078] Here, use Figure 3 Describe the report information.

[0079] like Figure 3 As shown, the work report includes report information. The report information includes action information and content information.

[0080] The action information includes work location information and work time information.

[0081] exist Figure 3 In one example, the work place information is indicated as "the lowest floor station". Figure 1 In the example of , the "lowest floor station" is equivalent to floor station 7. The work time information corresponding to the "lowest floor station" is expressed as the period from 10:30 to 11:00, and therefore becomes information equivalent to 30 minutes. In addition, information such as "work start" is also associated with the work place information. Figure 2 When it is determined that there is a work start instruction during the processing of step S11, "work start" is set. When the work location information is "lowest floor station" and it is "work start", the content information corresponding to the action information is input as "confirmation of abnormal history and design inspection in maintenance PC".

[0082] In addition, Figure 3 In one example, the work place information is represented as "Pit Section". Figure 1 In one example, the "pit section" corresponds to the pit section 5. The operation time information corresponding to the "pit section" is expressed as the period from 11:00 to 11:15, and thus becomes information equivalent to 15 minutes. When the work place information is the "pit section", the content information corresponding to the action information is input as "control panel equipment inspection, pit cleaning".

[0083] In addition, Figure 3 In one example, the work place information is represented as "on the car". Figure 1 In the example of , "on the car" is equivalent to car 2. The work time information corresponding to "on the car" is expressed as the period from 11:15 to 12:00, and thus becomes information equivalent to 45 minutes. When the workplace information is "on the car", the content information corresponding to the action information is input as "inspection of each floor landing door".

[0084] In addition, Figure 3 In one example, the work place information is indicated as "the lowest floor station". Figure 1 In the example of , the "bottom floor station" is equivalent to the floor station 7. The work time information corresponding to the "bottom floor station" is shown as 12:00. In addition, the information such as "work completed" is also associated with the work place information. Figure 2When it is determined that there is a work end instruction during the processing of step S11, "work end" is set. When the work place information is "lowest floor station" and "work end", the content information corresponding to the action information is input as "return of car position and trial operation".

[0085] Return to Figure 2 Description.

[0086] (Operation Example of Server 51)

[0087] In step S31, the server 51 determines whether the report information is received. If the server 51 determines that the report information is received, the server 51 transfers the process of step S31 to the process of step S32. If the server 51 determines that the report information is not received, the process of step S31 is continued.

[0088] In step S32 , the server 51 stores the report information, and returns the process of step S32 to the process of step S31 .

[0089] In addition, in the above-mentioned operation example, the processing is described based on the premise that the portable terminal body 42 generates two or more action information with different reception start times of the received radio waves, but it is not limited to this processing. For example, the processing of steps S18 to S20 can also be omitted. In this case, the report information includes action information that is not associated with the content information.

[0090] According to the above description, the portable terminal 41 receives the inherent radio wave received from the beacon 31 as the received radio wave. The portable terminal 41 calculates the work place information and the work time information based on the received radio wave. The portable terminal 41 sends the report information including the action information associating the calculated work place information with the work time information. Therefore, when the maintenance personnel 21 is performing the maintenance inspection work, the portable terminal 41 receives the radio wave from the beacon 31 without the maintenance personnel 21 having to perform special actions again, so the work load of the maintenance personnel 21 can be reduced.

[0091] In addition, the report information may also include operation information that associates content information indicating the operation content with action information. Specifically, the action information generated based on the inherent radio wave received from the beacon 31 may be associated with the content information input via the input unit 43. In the case of such association, the maintenance personnel 21 only needs to input the operation content in a state where the operation location information and the operation time information have already been generated, so the operation load of the maintenance personnel 21 can be particularly significantly reduced.

[0092] In addition, when the portable terminal body 42 produces two or more action information whose reception start time of the received radio wave is different from each other, it is also possible to select any action information from the two or more action information as the selected action information by operating the input unit 43, and input the content information into the portable terminal body 42. In addition, the portable terminal body 42 can also produce operation information that associates the content information with the selected action information. If it is operation information that associates the content information with the selected action information, even if there are multiple action information, the action information corresponding to the action information in which the content information is input is included in the report information. Thus, the action information that needs to be reported from the two or more action information can be included in the report information.
