Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information display device and an information display method. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, when a disaster such as an earthquake occurs, an earthquake detector in an elevator detects the occurrence of the earthquake. In that case, the elevator starts earthquake control operation based on a control command from an elevator control device. In earthquake control operation, the elevator car automatically stops at the nearest floor and opens the car door there. Then, after the passengers in the car are rescued, the elevator goes into a suspended state (stopped). When operation is suspended due to earthquake control operation, earthquake recovery work and inspection work for normal operation are performed by specialized engineers. Then, when the specialized engineers confirm that the elevator can safely perform normal operation, the elevator operation is resumed. In addition, when multiple elevators stop due to a wide-area disaster such as an earthquake, information such as the operating status and recovery schedule of each elevator is notified to the residents and managers of the building (hereinafter also referred to as "customers") from an elevator remote monitoring facility called a monitoring center or control center.

[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a technology for notifying elevator users and managers of the elevator operating status by email in the event of a wide-area disaster such as an earthquake. Furthermore, Patent Document 2 discloses a technology in which a remote monitoring center calculates the estimated recovery time for each property based on the time when elevator maintenance personnel arrive at the site and begin recovery work, and displays the estimated recovery time on the monitor screen of the remote monitoring center and on the screen of a communication terminal carried by the maintenance personnel.

[0005] In the event of a wide-area disaster such as an earthquake, depending on the state of the communication lines, the control center may not be able to confirm the operation status of the elevators. In such cases, the control center needs to request operation information from the monitoring device that monitors the operation status of each elevator, and confirm the operation status of the elevators. However, in the past, customers were not able to know which elevators were in operation while their status was being checked.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide technology that can inform customers that, in the event of a wide-area disaster such as an earthquake, the operating status of an elevator whose operating status is unknown is being checked. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, for example, the configurations described in the claims are adopted. The present application includes multiple means for solving the above problems, and one of them is an information display device including a reception unit that receives inputs of wide-area disaster occurrence information including the area where the wide-area disaster occurred, elevator operation information, and elevator installation location information, and an output unit that outputs elevator operation statuses in a specified area among the areas that received the wide-area disaster occurrence information. The output unit outputs the total number of elevators managed in the specified area and their operation statuses in a display area that displays the elevator operation statuses in the specified area. Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the present invention, in the event of a wide-area disaster such as an earthquake, customers can be made aware that the operation status of an elevator whose operation status is unknown is currently being checked. Problems, configurations and effects other than those described above will become apparent from the following description of the embodiments. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In this specification and the drawings, elements having substantially the same functions or configurations are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0011] <Overall configuration of elevator operation status display system> FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of an elevator operation status display system according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the elevator operation status display system 100 includes a terminal device 2, an operation information providing device 3, a control center device 4, a monitoring device 5, and an elevator control device 6. The operation information providing device 3 provides elevator operation information to the terminal device 2. The operation information providing device 3 also acquires elevator operation information from the control center device 4 and displays it on the terminal device 2 of the customer 1. The control center device 4 acquires elevator operation information from the monitoring device 5 and remotely monitors the elevator 7. The monitoring device 5 monitors the operation status of the elevator 7. The elevator control device 6 controls the elevator 7. The terminal device 2 and the operation information providing device 3 are communicatively connected via a high-speed communication line N1 made of wireless or wired. The operation information providing device 3 and the control center device 4 are communicatively connected via a high-speed communication line N2 made of wireless or wired. The control center device 4 and the monitoring device 5 are communicatively connected via a public line N3 made of wireless or wired.

[0012] For convenience of explanation, FIG. 1 shows one each of the terminal device 2, the operation information providing device 3, the control center device 4, the monitoring device 5, the elevator control device 6, and the elevator 7, but the number of each device (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and the elevator 7 constituting the elevator operation status display system 100 is not limited. The control center device 4 is provided in a control center (not shown). The control center is provided in a remote location away from the building in which the elevator is provided. The area managed by the control center (hereinafter referred to as the "management area") is determined in advance. The management area of ​​the control center may be set within one prefecture or may be set across multiple prefectures. The control center may be provided within the management area or may be provided outside the management area. The terminal device 2, the operation information providing device 3, the monitoring device 5, the elevator control device 6, and the elevator 7 are provided in multiple units in the management area of ​​the control center.

[0013] <Terminal device configuration> The terminal device 2 is a terminal device for checking the operating status of an elevator 7 in a building managed by a customer 1. The customer 1 is a resident or manager of the building in which the elevator 7 is installed. The terminal device 2 has a display unit 21 for displaying the operating status of the elevator 7 installed in the building managed by the customer 1, the progress of elevator restoration work in the event of a wide-area disaster such as an earthquake, etc. The display unit 21 is configured by, for example, a display.

[0014] <Configuration of the operation information providing device> The operation information providing device 3 requests the control center device 4 to acquire various information and receives various information transmitted from the control center device 4. The operation information providing device 3 also receives a display request for various information transmitted from the terminal device 2 of the customer 1 and transmits various information to the terminal device 2. The operation information providing device 3 also provides elevator operation information to the terminal device 2. For example, when the elevator designated by the customer 1 using the terminal device 2 is the elevator 7 shown in FIG. 1, the operation information providing device 3 provides the operation information of the elevator 7 to the terminal device 2. The operation information of the elevator 7 is information including the operation status of the elevator 7. The operation status of the elevator 7 will be described in detail later. In addition, when a wide-area disaster such as an earthquake occurs, the operation information providing device 3 provides the terminal device 2 with information indicating the progress of the elevator's recovery.

[0015] The operation information providing device 3 is provided, for example, in a cloud (not shown). The operation information providing device 3 includes a display control unit 30 and a communication unit 33. The display control unit 30 generates screen data to be displayed on the terminal device 2 and performs control processing for displaying this screen data on the display unit 21 of the terminal device 2. The communication unit 33 controls communication for transmitting and receiving data to and from the terminal device 2 via the high-speed communication line N and transmitting and receiving data to and from the control center device 4 via the high-speed communication line N2.

[0016] The display control unit 30 includes a detailed operation information display control unit 31 and an earthquake restoration state display control unit 32. The detailed operation information display control unit 31 performs control processing for displaying the current operation state of a specific elevator 7 designated by the customer 1 on the terminal device 2. The detailed operation information display control unit 31 acquires operation information of the elevator 7 from the operation information database 45 of the control center device 4, and generates data for displaying the operation information as visible information on the terminal device 2. The earthquake restoration state display control unit 32 performs control processing for displaying the progress of restoration of a specific elevator 7 designated by the customer 1 on the terminal device 2 when the elevator 7 is out of operation due to the occurrence of an earthquake. The earthquake restoration state display control unit 32 acquires restoration progress information of the elevator 7 from the work progress database 44 of the control center device 4, and generates data for displaying the restoration progress information as visible information on the terminal device 2. As described above, the restoration progress information is information indicating the progress of the restoration work of the elevator by a specialized engineer.

[0017] <Configuration of the control center device> The control center device 4 remotely monitors not only the elevator 7 shown in Fig. 1 but also a plurality of elevators managed by the control center. The control center device 4 includes a wide-area disaster occurrence detection unit 40a, a wide-area disaster area identification unit 40b, a work request processing unit 41, a work registration information input unit 42, a display unit 43, a work progress database 44, an operation information database 45, an elevator information database 46, an operation information acquisition unit 47, an operation information collection method switching unit 48, and a communication unit 49.

[0018] The wide-area disaster occurrence detection unit 40a detects the occurrence of a wide-area disaster such as an earthquake based on information provided by the Japan Meteorological Agency. When the wide-area disaster occurrence detection unit 40a detects the occurrence of a wide-area disaster, the wide-area disaster area identification unit 40b identifies the area where the wide-area disaster such as an earthquake occurred. In addition, the wide-area disaster area identification unit 40b compares the area where the wide-area disaster occurred with the area managed by the control center, and identifies the target area for polling processing based on the comparison result. The polling processing will be described later.

[0019] The work request processing unit 41 performs processing to request a specialist engineer to perform earthquake recovery work by means of e-mail or the like when the operating state of the elevator 7 is in an earthquake controlled operation state or an automatic recovery operation state. The earthquake recovery work includes inspection work for restoring the elevator 7 to a normal operation state when an earthquake occurs. The specialist engineer is an engineer who performs maintenance and inspection work for the elevator 7. The request to the specialist engineer to perform earthquake recovery work may also be made via telephone or the like.

[0020] <Elevator operation status> Here, the operating state of the elevator 7 will be described in detail. The operating states of the elevator 7 include a normal operation state, an earthquake control operation state, an operation suspension state, an automatic diagnosis operation state, and an automatic recovery operation state. The normal operation state is a normal operation state. The earthquake control operation state is an operation state that is applied when an earthquake exceeding a predetermined seismic intensity (shaking) occurs while the elevator 7 is operating in the normal operation state. When the elevator 7 transitions from the normal operation state to the earthquake control operation state, the elevator 7 automatically stops the car in the elevator shaft at the nearest floor, opens the car door, and goes into a suspended operation state. At that time, at the nearest floor, the door of the landing also opens in conjunction with the car door, so that passengers in the car can be rescued. The suspended operation state is a state in which the operation of the elevator 7 is suspended (stopped).

[0021] The automatic diagnosis operation state is applied after transition from the earthquake control operation state to the operation suspension state and completion of passenger rescue under the operation suspension state. The automatic diagnosis operation state is an operation state in which whether or not the elevator 7 can be operated without problems after the occurrence of an earthquake is automatically diagnosed. In the automatic diagnosis operation state, the car is raised and lowered at a slower speed than in the normal operation state to diagnose whether or not there are any problems with the operation of the elevator 7. The automatic recovery operation state is an operation state that is applied when the automatic diagnosis operation state gives a diagnosis result that the elevator 7 can be operated without problems. The automatic recovery operation state is a temporary recovery operation state until the safety of the elevator 7 is confirmed after inspection work by specialized engineers is completed, that is, until the normal operation state is restored.

[0022] The work registration information input unit 42 accepts information input by a specialist engineer in charge of earthquake restoration work (hereinafter also simply referred to as "restoration work"). The work registration information input unit 42 also registers the information accepted from the specialist engineer in the work progress database 44. The specialist engineer inputs the information to be registered in the work progress database 44 by operating a terminal owned by the specialist engineer himself (hereinafter referred to as an "engineer terminal"). The engineer terminal is a portable terminal (mobile terminal), such as a smartphone, PDA, or notebook computer. The information that the work registration information input unit 42 accepts from the specialist engineer (engineer terminal) includes the scheduled time of the inspection work and the actual time of the inspection work. The scheduled time of the inspection work includes the scheduled time of the inspection start and the scheduled time of the inspection completion. The actual time of the inspection work includes the actual time of the inspection start and the actual time of the inspection completion.

[0023] The display unit 43 displays the progress of the recovery work and elevator operation information. The elevator operation information is information including the elevator operation status. The display unit 43 is configured, for example, by a screen of a personal computer installed in the control center or a large display.

[0024] The work progress database 44 is a database that stores progress information of the restoration work of the elevator 7 in the event of a disaster such as an earthquake. The restoration work progress information includes information input by the specialized engineers as described above.

[0025] The operation information database 45 is a database that stores operation information of the elevator 7. The operation information database 45 stores the operation information of the elevator 7 received by the communication unit 49 together with information on the date and time when the operation state transitioned. The operation information of the elevator 7 is transmitted from the communication unit 51 of the monitoring device 5 to the control center device 4 via the public line N3, and the transmitted operation information is received by the communication unit 49 of the control center device 4.

[0026] The elevator information database 46 is a database that stores information about elevators (hereinafter, also referred to as "elevator information"). The elevator information includes an elevator ID for identifying an elevator, an elevator model corresponding to this elevator ID, a building ID for identifying the building in which the elevator is installed, a building name corresponding to this building ID, an area management code for grasping and managing the location area of ​​the building, connection destination information for connecting (accessing) to a monitoring device that monitors the operation status of the elevator, and information such as the acquisition date and time when the elevator operation information was acquired.

[0027] The operation information acquisition unit 47 performs a process of acquiring operation information of elevators managed by the control center device 4 through remote monitoring. The control center device 4 remotely monitors a plurality of elevators in the management area. For this reason, the operation information acquisition unit 47 collects operation information of each elevator via the communication unit 49. The operation information of the elevator 7 is notified to the control center device 4 from the monitoring device 5 that monitors the operation state of the elevator 7. The timing of the notification may be, for example, at a fixed time interval, when the operation state of the elevator 7 is switched, or at other timing. In other words, the timing of the notification is not important. In addition, when there is an elevator whose operation state is unknown among the elevators remotely monitored by the control center device 4, the operation information acquisition unit 47 sequentially connects to the monitoring device 5 that monitors this elevator, and transmits an instruction of a request to acquire operation information to the connected monitoring device 5, thereby acquiring operation information of the elevator from the connected monitoring device 5.

[0028] The operation information collection method switching unit 48 performs a process of switching the collection method of operation information from the first method to the second method when the wide-area disaster occurrence detection unit 40a detects the occurrence of a wide-area disaster such as an earthquake. The first method is a method of receiving and collecting elevator operation information notified from the monitoring device 5 to the control center device 4 via the public line N3 by the communication unit 49, that is, a method of collecting operation information by notification from the monitoring device 5. The second method is a method of collecting elevator operation information by polling processing. The polling processing is a process performed by the operation information acquisition unit 47. Specifically, the operation information acquisition unit 47 sequentially connects to the monitoring devices 5 monitoring elevators whose operation status is unknown, and acquires elevator operation information from the connected monitoring devices 5.

[0029] The communication unit 49 controls communication for transmitting and receiving data with the operation information providing device 3 via the high-speed communication line N2, and for transmitting and receiving data with the monitoring device 5 and a technician terminal (not shown) via the public line N3. The communication unit 49 also receives elevator operation information transmitted from the monitoring device 5 via the public line N3, and information transmitted from the technician terminal via the public line N3. The communication unit 49 also controls communication for the operation information acquisition unit 47 to transmit and receive data with the monitoring device 5 when the method of collecting operation information is switched from the first method to the second method.

[0030] <Configuration of monitoring device> The monitoring device 5 includes a communication unit 51, a status monitoring unit 52, an automatic diagnosis unit 53, and an operation control unit 54. The communication unit 51 transmits and receives data to and from the control center device 4 via the public line N3. The communication unit 51 controls communication for transmitting and receiving data to and from the control center device 4 via the public line N3. In addition, the communication unit 51 transmits operation information including the operation status of the elevator 7 monitored by the status monitoring unit 52 to the control center device 4 via the public line N3.

[0031] The status monitoring unit 52 monitors the operation status of the elevator. As described above, the elevator operation status includes a normal operation status, an earthquake control operation status, an operation suspension status, an automatic diagnosis operation status, and an automatic recovery operation status. The status monitoring unit 52 monitors, via the elevator control device 6, which status the elevator 7 monitored by the monitoring device 5 is in.

[0032] The automatic diagnosis unit 53 automatically performs an operation diagnosis (automatic diagnosis) after an earthquake occurs, and determines whether the elevator can be operated without problems. The operation diagnosis by the automatic diagnosis unit 53 is performed in order to shorten the period from when the operation of the elevator 7 is stopped due to the occurrence of an earthquake or the like until it is restarted.

[0033] The operation control unit 54 controls the operation of the elevator 7 via the elevator control device 6. For example, the operation control unit 54 transitions the operation state of the elevator 7 based on the contents of monitoring by the status monitoring unit 52 and instructions from the control center device 4. Furthermore, when the operation diagnosis by the above-mentioned automatic diagnosis unit 53 determines that the elevator can be operated without problems, the operation control unit 54 performs control to transition the operation state of the elevator from an automatic diagnosis operation state to an automatic recovery operation state.

[0034] <Elevator configuration> Although not shown, the elevator 7 includes a car, a main rope, a counterweight, a hoist, etc. The elevator 7 is provided with an earthquake sensor 71. When the earthquake sensor 71 detects shaking caused by an earthquake, it notifies the monitoring device 5 of that information via the elevator control device 6. When the earthquake sensor 71 detects shaking of a certain magnitude or greater, the operating state of the elevator 7 is switched from a normal operation state to an earthquake control operation state based on the control of the elevator control device 6.

[0035] <Computer hardware configuration> Next, the hardware configurations of the terminal device 2, the operation information providing device 3, the control center device 4, and the monitoring device 5 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration when the terminal device 2, the operation information providing device 3, the control center device 4, and the monitoring device 5 according to this embodiment are each configured as a computer C.

[0036] The computer C includes a central processing unit (CPU) C1, a read only memory (ROM) C2, and a random access memory (RAM) C3, all of which are connected to a bus C8. Furthermore, the computer C includes a non-volatile storage C4, a network interface C5, an input device C6, and a display device C7, each of which is connected to the bus C8. Note that, although an example in which the computer C includes the input device C6 and the display device C7 is given in Fig. 2, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the operation information providing device 3 and / or the monitoring device 5 may be configured with a computer C that does not include the input device C6 and / or the display device C7.

[0037] ROMC2 stores program code for software to realize various functions of computer C, and CPUC1 reads out a given program code from ROMC2 to RAMC3 and executes it. At this time, variables and parameters generated during the arithmetic processing by CPUC1 are also temporarily written to RAMC3.

[0038] The non-volatile storage C4 is composed of storage devices such as a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), a flexible disk, an optical disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, a CD-R, a magnetic tape, a non-volatile memory, etc. In addition to an operating system (OS) and various parameters, various programs for making the computer C function are recorded in the non-volatile storage C4.

[0039] The network interface C5 is configured, for example, with a NIC (Network Interface Card), etc. The computer C can transmit and receive various data via a LAN (Local Area Network), a dedicated line, etc., connected to a terminal of the network interface C5.

[0040] The input device C6 is composed of, for example, an operating device such as a keyboard, a mouse, etc., and allows the user to input predetermined operations and give instructions to the calculator C. The display device C7 is composed of, for example, a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display, and displays information such as the results of processing performed by the calculator C on a display screen to notify the user.

[0041] In this embodiment, the display control unit 30 in the operation information providing device 3 is realized by the function of the CPUC1, and the communication unit 33 is included in the network interface C5. In addition, the wide-area disaster occurrence detection unit 40a, the wide-area disaster area identification unit 40b, the work request processing unit 41, the work registration information input unit 42, the operation information acquisition unit 47, and the operation information collection method switching unit 48 in the control center device 4 are each realized by the function of the CPUC1, and the work progress database 44, the operation information database 45, and the elevator information database 46 are constructed in the non-volatile storage C4. In addition, the display unit 43 in the control center device 4 is included in the display device C7, and the communication unit 49 is included in the network interface C5. In addition, the communication unit 51 in the monitoring device 5 is included in the network interface C5, and the status monitoring unit 52, the automatic diagnosis unit 53, and the operation control unit 54 are each realized by the function of the CPUC1.

[0042] <Work progress database configuration> Next, the configuration of the work progress database 44 in the control center device 4 will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the work progress database 44. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the work progress database 44 has a "No." field 501, an "elevator ID" field 502, a "recovery management" field 503, and a "date and time" field 504.

[0043] A serial number is assigned to the "No." field 501. Specifically, in the work progress database 44, the record storing the latest information is assigned the number "1", and the older the date and time when data was stored in each record, the higher the number is assigned. For this reason, in FIG. 3, the data stored in the record No. 5 is the oldest data, and the data stored in the record No. 1 is the newest data. Meanwhile, the "Elevator ID" field 502 stores ID information representing unique identification information of an elevator. The elevator ID is, for example, composed of half-width alphanumeric characters. In FIG. 3, all the elevator IDs stored in the "Elevator ID" field 502 have the same ID information, but this is because the work progress data of only one elevator is shown. In the work progress database 44, work progress data for multiple elevators remotely monitored by the control center device 4 is stored for each elevator.

[0044] The "recovery management" field 503 stores information showing the progress of the elevator recovery work (inspection work) (hereinafter, also referred to as "recovery progress information"), and the "date and time" field 504 stores information on the date and time related to the elevator recovery work. For example, the "recovery management" field 503 and the "date and time" field 504 in the record No. 5 store a "work request" and its date and time. The "work request" and its date and time are stored when the work request processing unit 41 executes the process of requesting the professional engineer to perform the recovery work. Also, the "recovery management" field 503 and the "date and time" field 504 in the record No. 4 store an "inspection start schedule" and its date and time. The "inspection start schedule" and its date and time are stored when the work registration information input unit 42 accepts the scheduled start time of the recovery work (inspection work) input by the professional engineer who received the request for the recovery work by operating the engineer terminal. In the No. 3 record 513, the "recovery management" field 503 and the "date and time" field 504 store "inspection start record" and its date and time. The "inspection start record" and its date and time are stored when the work registration information input unit 42 accepts the start time of the recovery work (inspection work) input by the professional engineer operating the engineer terminal. In the No. 2 record 512, the "recovery management" field 503 and the "date and time" field 504 store "inspection end schedule" and its date and time. The "inspection end schedule" and its date and time are stored when the work registration information input unit 42 accepts the planned end time of the recovery work (inspection work) input by the professional engineer operating the engineer terminal. In the No. 1 record 511, the "recovery management" field 503 and the "date and time" field 504 store "inspection end record" and its date and time. The "inspection completion record" and its date and time are stored when the work registration information input unit 42 receives the completion time of the restoration work (inspection work) input by the professional engineer operating the engineer terminal.

[0045] <Configuration of operation information database> Next, the configuration of the operation information database 45 of the control center device 4 will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the operation information database. 4, the operation information database 45 has a "No." field 401, an "elevator ID" field 402, an "operation status" field 403, and a "date and time" field 404. The "No." field 401 and the "elevator ID" field 402 are as described above with reference to FIG. 3.

[0046] The operation information acquisition unit 47 registers information in the operation information database 45. The operation information acquisition unit 47 registers the operation information of the elevator 7 acquired from the monitoring device 5 in the operation information database 45. In this case, the "operation status" field 403 stores information indicating the operation status of the elevator, and the "date and time" field 404 stores information on the date and time when the operation status of the elevator was confirmed. For example, when a new elevator is installed or when an elevator is renovated and installed, the monitoring device 5 transmits information on the start of regular operation to the control center device 4 at the time when the elevator is able to operate normally. Then, in the operation information database 45 of the control center device 4, as shown in the record 416 of No. 6, the "elevator ID" field 402 stores the ID information of the corresponding elevator, the "operation status" field 403 stores "normal operation" as the operation status of the corresponding elevator, and the "date and time" field 404 stores the date and time when the operation status of the corresponding elevator became normal operation.

[0047] In addition, after the record 416 of No. 6 is stored in the operation information database 45, if a wide-area disaster such as an earthquake occurs, new records are stored in the operation information database 45 in chronological order. Specifically, if a wide-area disaster such as an earthquake occurs and the operation status of the elevator whose ID information is stored in the "Elevator ID" field 402 cannot be confirmed, as shown in the record 415 of No. 5, the "operation status" field 403 stores "status checking" as the operation status of the corresponding elevator, and the "date and time" field 404 stores the date and time when the status check of the corresponding elevator was performed. In other words, if there is an elevator whose operation information has not been acquired from the monitoring device 5, the operation information acquisition unit 47 registers the operation status of the elevator as "status checking". "Status checking" is information indicating that the operation status of the corresponding elevator is being checked.

[0048] An example of a situation in which the operation status of an elevator has not been confirmed is a situation in which, even though the monitoring device 5 has transmitted operation information of the elevator 7 to the control center device 4, the control center device 4 has not acquired the operation information of the elevator 7 due to some cause, such as line congestion. In such a situation, for an elevator whose operation status has not been confirmed, the operation information acquisition unit 47 reads out connection destination information from the elevator information database 46, connects to the monitoring device 5 indicated by the connection destination information, and executes a process of acquiring operation information of the corresponding elevator. This process is performed until acquisition of operation information is completed for all elevators whose operation status is unknown in the area managed by the control center device 4. In addition, when operation information of any elevator is acquired by this process, the operation information acquisition unit 47 stores the operation status of the elevator included in the acquired operation information in the "operation status" field 403, and stores the date and time when the operation information was acquired in the "date and time" field 404. As a result, a record including the latest operation status of the elevator is additionally stored in the operation information database 45. In other words, when operation information of an elevator registered in the operation information database 45 as having its status under check is acquired from the monitoring device 5, the operation information acquisition unit 47 adds the latest operation information of the corresponding elevator to the operation information database 45, thereby updating the operation status of the elevator.

[0049] For example, when it is confirmed that the operation status of an elevator registered as being under status check has subsequently transitioned from an earthquake control operation status to an operation suspension status, as shown in record 414 No. 4, the "operation status" field 403 stores "earthquake control (suspended)" as the operation status of the corresponding elevator, and the "date and time" field 404 stores the date and time when it was confirmed that the operation status of the corresponding elevator is an operation suspension status. Usually, the operation information of the elevator 7 is transmitted in real time or close to that time from the communication unit 51 of the monitoring device 5 to the communication unit 49 of the control center device 4 via the public line N3. However, if a communication failure or the like occurs on the public line N3, or if a failure or damage occurs on the monitoring device 5 or related equipment, the control center device 4 may not obtain the operation information of the elevator 7. In this case, the control center device 4 recognizes the elevator 7 as an elevator whose operation status is unknown.

[0050] Thereafter, when the operation status of the elevator transitions from the out-of-operation state to the automatic diagnosis operation state, as shown in record No. 3 413, the "operation status" field 403 stores "automatic diagnosis" as the operation status of the corresponding elevator, and the "date and time" field 404 stores the date and time when it was confirmed that the operation status of the corresponding elevator was the automatic diagnosis operation state. The operation status of the elevator 7 enters the automatic diagnosis operation state when automatic diagnosis operation is performed by the automatic diagnosis unit 53 of the monitoring device 5.

[0051] Thereafter, when the operation state of the elevator transitions from the automatic diagnosis operation state to the automatic recovery operation state, as shown in record No. 2 412, the "operation state" field 403 stores "automatic recovery" as the operation state of the corresponding elevator, and the "date and time" field 404 stores the date and time when it was confirmed that the operation state of the corresponding elevator is the automatic recovery operation state. The operation state of the elevator 7 becomes the automatic recovery operation state when automatic recovery operation becomes possible based on the automatic diagnosis result of the automatic diagnosis unit 53 of the monitoring device 5, and automatic recovery operation of the elevator 7 is performed by the operation control unit 54 of the monitoring device 5. However, when it is determined that automatic recovery operation is not possible as a result of the automatic diagnosis by the automatic diagnosis unit 53, although not shown in the figure, the "operation state" field 403 stores "earthquake control (stop)" as the operation state of the corresponding elevator, and the "date and time" field 404 stores the date and time when it was confirmed that the operation state of the corresponding elevator is the operation suspension state.

[0052] Thereafter, when the operation status of the elevator transitions from the automatic recovery operation status to normal operation, as shown in record No. 1 411, the "operation status" field 403 stores "normal operation" as the operation status of the corresponding elevator, and the "date and time" field 404 stores the date and time when it was confirmed that the operation status of the corresponding elevator was the normal operation status. The operation status of elevator 7 becomes the normal operation status when a specialized engineer arrives on-site, completes the inspection of the recovery work there, and resumes normal operation of elevator 7.

[0053] <Elevator information database configuration> Next, the configuration of the elevator information database 46 of the control center device 4 will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the elevator information database 46. As shown in FIG. 5, the elevator information database 46 has an "elevator ID" field 701, a "unit number" field 702, a "building ID" field 703, a "building name" field 704, a "regional management code" field 705, ... (omitted) ..., a "connection destination information" field 706, and a "operation information acquisition date and time" field 707. The "elevator ID" field 701 is as described above with reference to FIG. 3.

[0054] The "unit number" field 702 stores a number indicating the unit number of the corresponding elevator. The "building ID" field 703 stores ID information for identifying the building in which the corresponding elevator is installed, and the "building name" field 704 stores the name of the building in which the corresponding elevator is installed. The "area management code" field 705 stores code information that can identify the area in which the corresponding elevator is installed. The "connection destination information" field 706 stores information for connecting to the monitoring device 5 that monitors the corresponding elevator. The "operation information acquisition date and time" field 707 stores the date and time when the operation information of the corresponding elevator was acquired.

[0055] <Display screen configuration of terminal device> Next, the configuration of the screen displayed on the display unit 21 of the terminal device 2 will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the terminal device 2 showing the operation status of elevators throughout the country managed by the customer 1 when a wide-area disaster such as an earthquake occurs. The display screen shown in FIG. 6 is a screen that displays the operation status of elevators managed by customer 1. In this display screen, the number of elevators that are in earthquake shutdown mode, the number of elevators whose operation status is being checked, and the total number of elevators managed by customer 1 nationwide are displayed in a display field 101. An elevator that is in earthquake shutdown mode is an elevator that has stopped operation due to the occurrence of an earthquake and is currently being worked on to restore operation. An elevator whose operation status is being checked is an elevator whose operation status has become unknown due to the occurrence of an earthquake and is currently being checked. In addition, the display field 102 displays the number of elevators that are in earthquake shutdown mode, the number of elevators whose operation status is being checked, and the total number of elevators included in each region of Japan (Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu) for each region of Japan. For regions where no earthquake has occurred, a message to that effect is displayed. In addition, the elevator operation status in Shikoku and Kyushu can be displayed, for example, by scrolling the screen.

[0056] When the screen shown in Fig. 6 is displayed on the terminal device 2, if the customer 1 wishes to check detailed information on a specific area of ​​his / her choice, for example the Kanto region, the customer 1 selects the detailed information confirmation button 103 on the screen of Fig. 6 by touching it. The detailed information confirmation button 103 is provided within a frame that displays the elevator operation status of each area. When the customer 1 selects the detailed information confirmation button 103, the display screen of the terminal device 2 switches from the screen of Fig. 6 to the screen of Fig. 7.

[0057] FIG. 7 shows an example of a screen displayed on terminal device 2 showing the operation status of elevators in a specific area (the Kanto area in this example) managed by customer 1 when a wide-area disaster such as an earthquake occurs. In the display screen shown in FIG. 7, the operation status of elevators in the Kanto area selected by the customer 1 with the detailed information confirmation button 103 (see FIG. 6) is displayed in the upper part of the screen. In addition, a building name input field 201, an address input field 202, an operation status input field 203, and a filter button 204 are provided in the lower part of the screen. In the building name input field 201, the name of the building in which the elevator whose operation status the customer 1 wants to check is installed is input, and in the address input field 202, the address of the building is input. In addition, in the operation status input field 203, operation statuses such as "earthquake stop response", "automatic recovery operation", and "operation status confirmation" are displayed in a pull-down menu, and the customer 1 can filter and display the operation status from among them. The filter button 204 is an input button for instructing the execution of the filter display. When the customer 1 actually selects the filter button 204 by a touch operation or the like, the display screen of the terminal device 2 is switched from the screen of FIG. 7 to the screen of FIG. 8. If the user selects the filter button 204 without entering anything in any of the input fields, the display will be filtered to include all elevators in the area.

[0058] Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a screen in which the operation status of the elevator is displayed on the monitoring device 5 based on the results narrowed down on the screen shown in Fig. 7. The contents (data) displayed on the screen of Fig. 8 are automatically updated, for example, at predetermined time intervals under the control of the detailed operation information display control unit 31. The data displayed in Fig. 8 is provided from the operation information providing device 3 to the terminal device 2 via the high-speed communication line N1 and displayed on the display unit 21. At this time, the detailed operation information display control unit 31 of the operation information providing device 3 acquires operation information of the elevators to be the subject of the above-mentioned refined display from the operation information database 45 of the control center device 4. The detailed operation information display control unit 31 also generates display data based on the acquired operation information of the elevators and transmits the display data via the communication unit 33 to the terminal device 2. On the other hand, when the refine button 204 shown in Fig. 7 is selected, the terminal device 2 transmits information for refinement to the operation information providing device 3, and then receives the display data transmitted from the operation information providing device 3 and displays it on the display unit 21. A specific example will be described below.

[0059] For example, when the operation status of elevator 7 goes from earthquake control operation to suspended operation, the latest record of the elevator in question records "earthquake control (suspended)" in the "operation status" field 403 as shown in record 414 in Fig. 4. In this case, for the elevator in question, "earthquake suspension in progress" is displayed in the operation status display column 301 shown in Fig. 8. Next, when the operation status of elevator 7 transitions from an out-of-operation state to an automatic diagnosis operation state, the latest record of the corresponding elevator records "automatic diagnosis" in the "operation status" field 403, as shown in record 413 in Fig. 4. In this case, for the corresponding elevator, "automatic diagnosis operation in progress" is displayed in the operation status display column 304 shown in Fig. 8. Next, when the automatic diagnostic operation of elevator 7 ends and it is determined that automatic recovery operation is possible, the latest record for that elevator records "automatic recovery" in the "operation status" field 403 as shown in record 412 in Fig. 4. In this case, for that elevator, "automatic recovery operation in progress" is displayed in the operation status display column 303 shown in Fig. 8. Furthermore, if operation information for elevator 7 cannot be obtained, that is, if the operation status of elevator 7 is unknown, the latest record for the elevator in question records "status checking" in the "operation status" field as shown in record 415 in Fig. 4. In this case, for the elevator in question, "operation status checking" is displayed in operation status display column 302 shown in Fig. 8. Next, when the restoration inspection work of elevator 7 by the specialized engineer is completed and elevator 7 is in normal operation, the latest record for that elevator records "normal operation" in the "operation status" field 403 as shown in record 411 in Fig. 4. In this case, for that elevator, "normal operation" is displayed in the operation status display column 305 shown in Fig. 8.

[0060] For elevators that are "responding to earthquake shutdown" displayed in operation status display field 301 on the screen of Fig. 8 and elevators that are "in automatic recovery operation" displayed in operation status display field 303 on the screen of Fig. 8, the progress of recovery work after the occurrence of an earthquake can be confirmed on the screen of Fig. 9. Fig. 9 shows a screen that is displayed when customer 1 selects operation status display field 301 on the screen of Fig. 8 by a touch operation or the like. The contents (data) displayed on the screen of Fig. 9 are automatically updated, for example, at a predetermined time interval, under the control of earthquake recovery status display control unit 32.

[0061] First, when the operation status of an elevator is registered in the operation information database 45 as "earthquake control (suspended)" or "automatic recovery", the work request processing unit 41 of the control center device 4 performs processing to request a specialist engineer to perform recovery work for the corresponding elevator. After that, when the specialist engineer who received the work request operates the engineer terminal to input information regarding the progress of the recovery work, the work registration information input unit 42 accepts this information and registers it in the work progress database 44. As a result, records 511 to 515 (see FIG. 3) are registered in chronological order in the work progress database 44 in the order in which the work registration information input unit 42 accepted the input from the specialist engineer's engineer terminal.

[0062] In Fig. 9, the progress of the restoration work for the elevator "responding to earthquake shutdown" is displayed in a display field 601. Specifically, the display field 601 displays the progress of each restoration work ("received", "moving", "inspecting", "restoration completed") and the date and time at that time. Note that the screen in Fig. 9 is a screen that is displayed when a specialist engineer has been requested to perform restoration work and the specialist engineer who has received the request is currently moving to the site.

[0063] The display of "received" is switched to a state indicating that "received" is completed when the work request processing unit 41 requests a professional engineer to perform recovery work and registers the request in the work progress database 44. The display of "on the move" is switched to a state indicating that "on the move" is completed when the work registration information input unit 42 receives an input of a scheduled start time of recovery work (inspection work) from the professional engineer and registers the request in the work progress database 44. The display of "inspecting" is switched to a state indicating that "inspecting" is completed when the work registration information input unit 42 receives an input of a scheduled end time of recovery work (inspection work) from the professional engineer and registers the request in the work progress database 44. The display of "recovery completed" is switched to a state indicating that "recovery completed" is completed when the work registration information input unit 42 receives an input of a scheduled end time of recovery work (inspection work) from the professional engineer and registers the request in the work progress database 44. This allows the customer 1 to check the latest operating status and recovery status of each elevator that he or she manages almost simultaneously using the terminal device 2. The display of the progress of each restoration work in the display field 601 in FIG. 9 may be in any display format as long as the customer 1 can distinguish whether the work is complete or not when viewing the display.

[0064] <Processing of control center equipment> Next, an example of a process performed by the control center device 4 when a wide-area disaster such as an earthquake occurs will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, as described above, after an earthquake occurs, the wide-area disaster occurrence detection unit 40a detects the occurrence of a wide-area disaster such as an earthquake from information from the Japan Meteorological Agency, and the wide-area disaster area identification unit 40b identifies the area where the wide-area disaster occurred from the information from the Japan Meteorological Agency. Then, when the earthquake detector 71 of the elevator 7 detects shaking due to an earthquake, the operation state of the elevator 7 transitions from a normal operation state to an earthquake control operation state under the control of the elevator control device 6 and the operation control unit 54. At that time, the state monitoring unit 52 of the monitoring device 5 transmits operation information of the elevator 7 after the earthquake detection to the control center device 4 via the communication unit 51. Thereafter, depending on the state of the elevator 7, operation information indicating that the operation state of the elevator 7 is an automatic diagnosis operation state or an automatic recovery operation state is transmitted from the monitoring device 5 to the control center device 4. In response to this, after the wide-area disaster occurrence detection unit 40a of the control center device 4 detects the occurrence of a wide-area disaster such as an earthquake, the communication unit 49 receives the operation information of the elevator 7 transmitted from the monitoring device 5, and the operation information acquisition unit 47 records the received operation information in the operation information database 45 (step S1).

[0065] Here, if the communication unit 51 of the monitoring device 5 cannot connect to the communication unit 49 of the control center device 4 due to congestion of the public line N3 after the earthquake, the operation information of the elevator may not be acquired by the control center device 4. Therefore, in this embodiment, the operation information collection method switching unit 48 switches the collection method of the elevator operation information in the control center device 4 (step S2). Specifically, the operation information collection method switching unit 48 switches from a method of receiving a notification of the elevator operation information from the monitoring device 5 to a polling process of sequentially connecting to the monitoring device 5 of the elevator whose operation state is unknown. The collection of operation information by the polling process is performed after step S3. Then, in the polling process, when the elevator operation information is transmitted from the connected monitoring device 5, the operation information acquisition unit 47 acquires this operation information and registers it in the operation information database 45. By switching the collection method of the operation information in this way, it is possible to acquire the operation information of the elevator whose operation state was unknown until the time when the congestion of the public line N3 is resolved.

[0066] Next, the operation information acquisition unit 47 judges whether or not there is an elevator whose operation information has not been acquired, in other words, whether or not there is an elevator whose operation state is unknown (step S3). Specifically, the operation information acquisition unit 47 performs the following process. First, for the target area for the polling process, the operation information acquisition unit 47 compares the wide-area disaster area identified by the wide-area disaster area identification unit 40b from the information of the Meteorological Agency with the management area managed by the control center, and identifies the management area included in the wide-area disaster area as the target area for the polling process based on the comparison result. Also, for the elevator whose operation state is unknown, the operation information acquisition unit 47 first extracts from the elevator information database 46 elevator information in which code information matching the regional management code (see FIG. 5) assigned to the management area identified by the wide-area disaster area identification unit 40b as the target area for the polling process is stored. Furthermore, the operation information acquisition unit 47 extracts records in which the operation information acquisition date and time (see FIG. 5) included in the elevator information extracted from the elevator information database 46 is older than the earthquake occurrence date and time as elevators whose operation status is unknown. For example, if an earthquake occurs at "November 7, 2021, 13:00" and the collection method of operation information is switched to polling processing at "13:30" on the same day, records 708 and 709 shown in the configuration example of FIG. 5 correspond to records of elevators whose operation status is unknown. In this way, when there is an elevator whose operation status is unknown, the operation information acquisition unit 47 registers "status checking" in the "operation status" field 403 of the corresponding elevator in the configuration example of the operation information database 45 shown in FIG. 4 (step S4). In other words, when there is an elevator whose operation information has not been acquired from the monitoring device 5, the operation information acquisition unit 47 registers the operation status of the elevator as status checking. Also, when there is no elevator whose operation status is unknown, the operation information acquisition unit 47 proceeds to step S9.

[0067] Next, the operation information acquisition unit 47 connects to the monitoring device 5 monitoring the elevator whose operation state is unknown, and requests the monitoring device 5 to acquire operation information (step S5). Since the connection destination information for connecting to the monitoring device 5 is included in the elevator information extracted from the elevator information database 46, the operation information acquisition unit 47 can connect to the monitoring device 5 based on this connection destination information. On the other hand, when the connection destination monitoring device 5 accepts the operation information acquisition request sent from the control center device 4, it transmits the operation information of the elevator 7 to the control center device 4 in response to the acquisition request. However, depending on the communication state of the public line N3 and the state of the monitoring device 5, there are cases where the acquisition request is not transmitted from the control center device 4 to the monitoring device 5, and cases where the operation information is not transmitted from the monitoring device 5 to the control center device 4.

[0068] Next, the operation information acquisition unit 47 determines whether or not elevator operation information has been acquired from the connected monitoring device 5 (step S6). If elevator operation information has been acquired, the process proceeds to step S7, and if not, the process proceeds to step S8.

[0069] In step S7, the operation information acquisition unit 47 registers one of the operation states of "normal operation", "earthquake control (suspended)", "automatic diagnosis", and "automatic recovery" in the "operation status" field 403 of the corresponding elevator in the configuration example of the operation information database 45 shown in Fig. 4 based on the operation information of the elevator acquired from the monitoring device 5, and also registers the date and time when the operation status of the elevator was confirmed in the "date and time" field 404. In other words, when operation information of an elevator registered as being under status confirmation is acquired from the monitoring device 5, the operation information acquisition unit 47 updates the operation status of the elevator to the latest status.

[0070] On the other hand, in step S8, the operation information acquisition unit 47 updates the date and time registered in the "date and time" field 404 while keeping the "operation status" field 403 of the corresponding elevator at "status checking" in the example configuration of the operation information database 45 shown in FIG. 4.

[0071] Next, the control center device 4 displays the elevator operation information collected by the operation information acquisition unit 47 from the monitoring device 5 in the management area on the display unit 43 of the control center device 4, while performing processing for displaying the operation information of the elevator managed by the customer 1 on the display unit 21 of the terminal device 2 with the contents shown in Figs. 6 to 8 (step S9). Specifically, when the customer 1 operates the terminal device 2 to display the operation status of the specified elevator on the display unit 21, the detailed operation information display control unit 31 of the operation information providing device 3 needs to acquire data required for this display from the operation information database 45 of the control center device 4. For this reason, the detailed operation information display control unit 31 requests the control center device 4 to acquire the operation information of the corresponding elevator, and in response to this acquisition request, the control center device 4 reads the data required for display from the operation information database 45 and transmits it to the operation information providing device 3. Then, the detailed operation information display control unit 31 acquires the data transmitted from the control center device 4 via the communication unit 33. Furthermore, the detailed operation information display control unit 31 generates display data based on the acquired data and transmits this display data to the terminal device 2. As a result, in step S9, when the operation information of the elevator specified by the customer 1 includes information indicating that the status is being checked, the operation information providing device 3 causes the terminal device 2 to display the elevator operation information including the information indicating that the status is being checked. Also, when the operation information acquiring unit 47 updates the operation status of an elevator registered in the operation information database 45 as being under status checking, the operation information providing device 3 causes the terminal device 2 to display the elevator operation information including the updated operation status. As a result, the latest operation information of the elevator can be displayed on the terminal device 2 of the customer 1.

[0072] Next, the operation information acquisition unit 47 judges whether the operation status of all elevators in the target area has become "normal operation status" (step S10). The operation status of an elevator becomes "normal operation status" when elevator recovery work by a specialized technician is completed. If the operation information acquisition unit 47 judges Yes in step S10, it ends the process of collecting operation information by polling, and if it judges No in step S10, it returns to the above step S3 and performs the series of processes again.

[0073] As described above, in this embodiment, when the operation status of any elevator cannot be confirmed due to line congestion or the like caused by the occurrence of a wide-area disaster such as an earthquake, information that the operation status of the elevator is being confirmed can be displayed on the terminal device 2. In this way, when there is an elevator that is being checked among the elevators managed by the customer 1, the customer 1 can be made aware that the operation status of the elevator is being checked. In addition, for elevators whose operation status is unknown, the operation information of the elevator can be collected by a polling process that sequentially connects from the control center device 4 to the monitoring device 5. Therefore, more accurate elevator operation information can be provided to the customer 1.

[0074] <Modifications, etc.> It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but includes various modifications.
