Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a facility management device, and more particularly to displaying information about equipment installed in a facility. [Background technology]

[0002] A facility management device that monitors and manages a facility periodically collects and records data from monitoring points within the facility, for example, every minute or every hour. The monitoring points are associated with equipment installed in the facility, such as air conditioning and lighting. In the case of air conditioning equipment, the recorded data indicates the status of the air conditioning equipment to be monitored, such as the set temperature for the air conditioning equipment, the current measured temperature such as the room temperature, and the power on / off state. As in this example, multiple monitoring points may be set for a single piece of air conditioning equipment as the status to be monitored. The facility management device then monitors and manages the equipment while understanding the equipment's status by, for example, analyzing the recorded data.

[0003] Data relating to the status of the facilities handled by the facility management device is displayed on a screen and provided to the facility manager, etc. Conventionally, a function has been provided to display status information indicating the status of monitoring points for each facility or system designated by the manager (for example, Patent Document 1).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0015] Embodiment 1 1 is a hardware configuration diagram of a computer that forms a facility management device 1 according to this embodiment. Facility management device 1 according to this embodiment can be realized by a general-purpose hardware configuration that has existed for a long time, such as a personal computer (PC). That is, facility management device 1 is configured by connecting a CPU 31, a ROM 32, a RAM 33, a hard disk drive (HDD) 34 as storage means, a network interface (IF) 35 as communication means for connecting a controller (not shown) and the like, and a user interface (UI) 36 including input means such as a mouse and a keyboard and display means such as a display to an internal bus 37.

[0016] 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a facility management device according to the present invention. Facility management device 1 in this embodiment includes a reception unit 11, a data extraction unit 12, a display data generation unit 13, a display control unit 14, an information management unit 15, a status information storage unit 21, an equipment information storage unit 22, an image information storage unit 23, and a display information storage unit 24. Note that components not used in the description of this embodiment are omitted from the figure.

[0017] The reception unit 11 receives input information specified by a user. The user here is basically a facility manager such as a building, but need not be limited to a manager and may be, for example, a facility maintenance worker. The input information is information that can identify the monitoring point to be displayed, and the words specified as the input information become search conditions for status information and facility information.

[0018] Here, a "monitoring point" refers to a point that is set up in advance as a monitoring target for equipment within a facility. In the case of air conditioning equipment, for example, the monitoring target is an item that the user wants to monitor for the air conditioning equipment, such as the set temperature, room temperature, and power on / off status of the air conditioning equipment, and the user can know the status of the equipment from the item values ​​(also called "status values"). As in this example, multiple monitoring points may be set for one air conditioning equipment. The status of the equipment's monitoring target is obtained from the monitoring point using data obtained from the equipment or measurement data obtained from sensors built into or installed in the equipment. Since a monitoring point is a point that monitors the status of the equipment, it can refer to the equipment in a broad sense, or it can refer to the status of the equipment in a narrow sense, such as the set temperature.

[0019] The data extraction unit 12 refers to the equipment status information and equipment information, and extracts the equipment specified from the information input by the user, and the status values ​​and location information of the monitored objects of the equipment.

[0020] The display data generation unit 13 generates display data for displaying the status values ​​of the monitored equipment extracted by the data extraction unit 12 at the installation position of the equipment on the image displayed on the screen using display components. The display components are configured to include, for example, icon images representing the status values ​​of the monitored equipment, or icon images representing the equipment and display areas for displaying the status values. The image displayed on the screen is a map image for each area of ​​the facility, and serves as the background image when the display components are displayed.

[0021] Display control unit 14 controls the display of the display data generated by display data generation unit 13. In this embodiment, the description is based on the assumption that the display is displayed on a display connected to facility management device 1 as display means, but the display may also be displayed on a display of another information processing device. In this case, display control unit 14 controls the display by, for example, transmitting the display data to the other information processing device.

[0022] FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the data configuration of status information stored in the status information storage unit 21 in this embodiment. The status information is set by associating a signal ID with a monitoring target and status, which are attribute information of a monitoring point. The signal ID is identification information for signal data indicating the status of the monitoring target of the equipment obtained from the monitoring point. The monitoring point is identified by the signal ID. In other words, status information is set for each monitoring point. The monitoring target corresponds to what is desired to be monitored regarding the equipment, such as the set temperature and room temperature, and the monitoring item that obtains the status of the equipment to be monitored. As illustrated in the status information illustrated in FIG. 3, the status of the equipment includes the current operating status of the equipment, such as normal / abnormal, ON / OFF, operating time, and number of starts, as well as the current setting contents, such as the set temperature for air conditioning equipment. The status value is data that indicates the status of the monitoring target of the equipment, and is the data value of the signal data.

[0023] 4A and 4B are diagrams showing an example of the data structure of facility information stored in the facility information storage unit 22 in this embodiment. The facility information in this embodiment includes traffic light information shown in FIG. 4A and equipment information shown in FIG. 4B. The traffic light information is set by associating the aforementioned traffic light ID with the aforementioned monitoring target, which is attribute information of the monitoring point, and the equipment name of the facility linked to the monitoring point. Traffic light information is set for each traffic light data, i.e., for each monitoring point. The equipment information is set by associating the equipment ID, which is identification information for identifying the facility, with the aforementioned facility type and equipment name of the facility, which is attribute information of the monitoring point, and the building and floor, which are location information indicating the location where the facility is installed within the facility. The equipment information is set for each device to be monitored and managed. The equipment refers to equipment belonging to any of the facilities, such as air conditioning and lighting. Air conditioning equipment includes various types of equipment, such as air conditioners and dehumidifiers, but for convenience, in this embodiment, the terms facility and equipment are used interchangeably.

[0024] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the data configuration of image information stored in the image information storage unit 23 in this embodiment. The image information includes a map image for each area of ​​the facility to be managed. In this embodiment, the explanation will be given assuming that the area is a floor. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a two-dimensional floor plan is used as the map image, but this is not limiting and a three-dimensional stereoscopic image may also be used. The image information includes a combination of the building where the floor is located, the floor where the floor is located, a screen ID as identification information assigned to the floor plan of the floor, and the file name of the image data of the floor image identified by the screen ID. Note that in this embodiment, the storage destination of the image data is specified and therefore not included, but the image information may also include information on the storage destination of the image data.

[0025] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the data configuration of display information stored in the display information storage unit 24 in this embodiment. Display information is set for each device. The display information includes, in association with each other, a device name as identification information for the device, a screen ID corresponding to an image of the floor on which the device is installed, coordinates as display position information indicating the position at which the display component is to be displayed on the floor image, a signal ID corresponding to the device, and a display component. As described above, the display component is formed to include an icon image representing the status of the device being monitored, or an icon image representing the device and a display area for a status value. In this embodiment, as will be described later, an example will be described in which the status of a device being monitored is displayed. Therefore, for convenience, FIG. 6 shows only an icon image indicating whether the device is normal or abnormal as a display component to be included in the display information.

[0026] Each of the components 11 to 15 in the facility management device 1 is realized by the cooperative operation of a computer that constitutes the facility management device 1 and a program running on a CPU installed in the computer. Furthermore, each of the storage units 21 to 24 is realized by a HDD installed in the facility management device 1. Alternatively, RAM or external storage means may be used via a network.

[0027] Furthermore, the programs used in the present embodiment can be provided not only by communication means, but also by being stored in a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM or USB memory. The programs provided from the communication means or recording medium are installed in a computer, and various processes are realized by the computer's CPU sequentially executing the programs.

[0028] Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

[0029] This embodiment provides a function for graphically displaying the status of each facility's monitored object in response to a user request. However, regardless of whether or not a user request is made, the status information is updated to the latest information. That is, when the facilities management device 1 collects signal data from monitoring points via a controller (not shown), it generates status information corresponding to the monitoring points based on the collected signal data and overwrites and saves the status information stored in the status information storage unit 21. In this way, the latest status of each monitoring point is set in the status information. Each piece of status information is updated periodically, such as every minute or every hour, according to a predetermined schedule. The information display process in this embodiment will be described below using the flowchart shown in FIG. 7.

[0030] A user of the facility management device 1 inputs, from a predetermined input screen, attribute information of the monitoring point that is to be displayed graphically; in this embodiment, the equipment type corresponding to the equipment corresponding to the monitoring point, and the monitoring target that is to be displayed. Here, an example will be explained in which "air conditioning" is input as the equipment type and "status" is input as the monitoring target. Also, in FIGS. 3 to 6, the background of the record row that is used when the equipment type "air conditioning" and the monitoring target "status" are specified is colored.

[0031] The reception unit 11 receives the facility type and monitoring target input by the user as input information (step 110). Next, the data extraction unit 12 extracts corresponding facility information using the attribute information specified by the user, in this case the facility type "air conditioning," as a key. More specifically, by extracting device information corresponding to the facility type "air conditioning," the device name and location information (building and floor) are identified. Next, the data extraction unit 12 extracts corresponding signal information using the identified device name ("air conditioning A," "air conditioning B," and "air conditioning C" in the example shown in FIG. 4B) and the monitoring target "status" as a key. This identifies signal information with matching combinations of signal ID, monitoring target, and device name ("0040.BI.0310101," "0041.BI.0310101," and "0042.BI.0310101" in the example shown in FIG. 4A). Next, the data extraction unit 12 acquires the status value by searching the status information using the identified signal ID and the "status" of the monitored object as keys. In this way, the data extraction unit 12 acquires the signal ID, device name, status value, and location information required for the display data generation unit 13 to generate display data (step 120).

[0032] Next, the display data generation unit 13 acquires a floor image that serves as a background for displaying the "status" of the monitored object by searching for image information using the position information extracted by the data extraction unit 12 as a key. Next, the display data generation unit 13 acquires display components for displaying the status values ​​on the screen by searching for display information using the signal ID or device name extracted by the data extraction unit 12 as a key. Then, the display data generation unit 13 generates display data by pasting the acquired display components on the acquired floor image at positions specified by the coordinates of the device set in the display information (step 130).

[0033] The display control unit 14 displays the display data created by the display data generation unit 13 on the display of the facility management device 1. An example of the screen display when the display data is displayed on the display is shown in FIG. 8. In the status information shown in FIG. 3, the status values ​​of the signal IDs "0040.BI.0310101," "0041.BI.0310101," and "0042.BI.0310101" to be displayed are "abnormal," "normal," and "normal," respectively. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, the status values ​​of each device are displayed at positions specified by the coordinates set in the display information using display components indicating the status values. The display image shown in FIG. 8 is displayed in a two-dimensional coordinate system with the lower left corner at (0,0). Note that FIG. 8 shows that the status values ​​of the monitored devices of the devices are displayed in correspondence with the installation positions of the devices, and the floor images are simply illustrated. Images of the first and second floors of Building A may be displayed on the same screen, or a floor image selected by the user may be displayed in a switchable manner.

[0034] As described above, according to this embodiment, status values ​​obtained from monitoring points that match input information specified by the user are extracted. In other words, only the information desired by the user can be selected and displayed on the floor image at the installation location of the equipment corresponding to the monitoring point. In particular, in this embodiment, floor images and display components indicating status values ​​are generated separately, and display data is generated by referencing facility information, image information, and display information each time. This allows for flexible graphical display even when changes are made to the facility layout, additional equipment is installed, or the installation location of equipment is changed. That is, for example, when a user instructs to change information, the information management unit 15 updates the corresponding information, i.e., facility information, image information, or display information, in accordance with the user's input instructions. For example, if the layout of equipment on a certain floor is changed, it is sufficient to change the coordinates included in the display information; there is no need to change all of the floor images and display components to be displayed graphically.

[0035] In the above description, "status" was used as an example of the monitored object to be displayed. Therefore, FIG. 6 shows display information in which an icon image indicating normality or abnormality is set as the display component. This is an example of a display component, and the present invention is not limited to this display component. For example, when the status value is numerical data, such as a measurement value or operating time, the display component may be generated by combining an icon image having a shape that identifies the equipment with a display area for the numerical data located near the icon image, and set as the display information. Alternatively, a threshold may be prepared in advance, and the display component may be generated so that the numerical data can be compared with the threshold to determine whether it is normal or abnormal, or the level of risk (e.g., caution level, warning level, immediate action level, etc.). In this way, it is preferable to generate display components using images that make it easy to visually identify the type of equipment to be displayed and the state of the equipment indicated by the status value.

[0036] In addition, in the above explanation, an example was given in which the user was asked to specify the equipment type and status from the attribute information of the monitoring point as input information, but it is not limited to a combination of equipment type and status; the user may also be asked to specify at least one of the monitored object, status value, equipment name, equipment ID, equipment type, building or floor included in the attribute information of the monitoring point, and the status value of the specified monitored object may be displayed graphically.

[0037] Embodiment 2 In the first embodiment described above, the user is required to input attribute information of a monitoring point in order to display the status values ​​of the monitored object of the equipment that the user wishes to check. For example, an air conditioning maintenance inspector would need to input at least the facility type "air conditioning" and the monitored object as attribute information of the monitoring point in order to display status values ​​related to the air conditioning equipment. Also, the manager of Building A would need to input at least the location information "Building A" as attribute information of the monitoring point. This embodiment is characterized in that it allows the information that the user wishes to check to be displayed without requiring the user to input attribute information of the monitoring point.

[0038] 9 is a block diagram of facility management device 1 according to the present embodiment. Components that are the same as those in embodiment 1 are given the same reference numerals, and their explanations will be omitted. Facility management device 1 according to the present embodiment has a configuration in which user information storage unit 25 is added to the configuration of embodiment 1.

[0039] 10A and 10B are diagrams showing an example of the data configuration of user information stored in user information storage unit 25 in this embodiment. User information in this embodiment includes personal information shown in FIG. 10A and user attribute information shown in FIG. 10B. The personal information is information about users related to the facility, such as facility managers and maintenance personnel. A user ID is assigned to each user as authentication information when using facility management device 1. The personal information includes the user ID and the user's job as attribute information (hereinafter referred to as "user attributes"). Note that the personal information may include a password as authentication information and affiliation as user attributes, but these are not used in this embodiment and are therefore omitted from the figures. For each user attribute, attribute information of a monitoring point related to the user attribute is set. Preferably, at least one of facility type and location information is set as the user attribute information.

[0040] User information storage unit 25 is realized by a HDD installed in facility management device 1. Alternatively, RAM or external storage means may be used via a network. Also, personal information and user attribute information may be managed separately.

[0041] Next, the information display process in this embodiment will be described, but the basic process flow is the same as that in the first embodiment shown in Fig. 7. However, the processes in steps 110 and 120 in Fig. 7 are slightly different.

[0042] First, a user specifies his / her own user ID and logs in to use facility management device 1. Receiving unit 11 receives the user ID input by the user as input information (step 110).

[0043] It is preferable to control the display so that the graphic display illustrated in Fig. 8 is not automatically displayed when logging in to facility management device 1, but is displayed when an application that executes the information display process shown in Fig. 7 is started. For this purpose, for example, when an application that executes the information display process is started, operation is controlled so that reception unit 11 acquires, as input information, the user ID input and specified by the user at the time of login.

[0044] Next, the data extraction unit 12 extracts the user attributes of the user from the personal information using the user ID specified by the user as a key. Then, the data extraction unit 12 extracts the attribute information of the monitoring point from the user attribute information using the identified user attribute as a key. After extracting the attribute information of the monitoring point in this way, the display data generation unit 13 references the status information and facility information to obtain the signal ID, device name, status value, and location information required to generate the display data (step 120), as in the first embodiment. The subsequent processing may be the same as in the first embodiment, and therefore will not be described again.

[0045] According to this embodiment, it is possible to extract and graphically display only the information that the user is likely to want to refer to given their job duties, without requiring the user to specify attribute information of the monitoring points. For example, it is considered that a user who is an air conditioning maintenance technician will generally check the status of air conditioning equipment. In the first embodiment, the user who is an air conditioning maintenance technician was required to specify the equipment type "air conditioning" and the monitoring target "status." However, in this embodiment, it is possible to identify attribute information of monitoring points based on a user ID that is always input and specified when logging in to the facilities management device 1. Therefore, when displaying graphically the information that the user wants to check, it is not necessary to require the user to specify attribute information of monitoring points, which can be considered information search conditions, each time.

[0046] Furthermore, for example, the manager of building A can simply log in to the facility management device 1 and check information about all the facilities installed in building A on the screen display.

[0047] The user attribute information shown in FIG. 10B corresponds to so-called initial settings. Therefore, when the application is launched, the reception unit 11 may present the user with a setting screen that allows the user to further narrow down or change the initial settings. Narrowing down the initial settings means, for example, if the user is the manager of building A, limiting the attribute information of the monitoring points, such as location information and equipment type, by having the user specify the location information "1st floor" on the setting screen to only the equipment installed on the first floor of building A, or by having the user specify the equipment type "air conditioning" to only the air conditioning equipment installed in building A. Changing the initial settings means, for example, changing the content of the initial settings, for example, by changing building B from building A to building B, or by changing the monitoring target from status to operation time.

[0048] In this way, it is also possible to display information other than the settings of the user attribute information, which corresponds to the so-called initial settings.

[0049] Embodiment 3 11 is a block diagram of a facility management device 1 according to the present embodiment. The same components as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and their explanations will be omitted. The facility management device 1 according to the present embodiment has a configuration in which a maintenance history information storage unit 26 is added to the configuration of the first embodiment.

[0050] FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the data configuration of maintenance history information stored in the maintenance history information storage unit 26 in this embodiment. The maintenance history information in this embodiment is information about maintenance work generated from information input by the maintenance technician who performed the maintenance work, and is recorded in the maintenance history information storage unit 26. The maintenance history information includes a set of work date and time, a maintenance technician ID, the equipment to be worked on, and the work content. The work date and time is set to the date and time when the maintenance work was completed. The data may be configured so that the start date and time are stored separately from the end date and time. The maintenance technician ID is set to identification information of the maintenance technician who performed the maintenance work. The equipment to be worked on is set to the device name of the equipment that was the target of the maintenance work. The work content is set to the content of the maintenance work performed on the equipment to be worked on. The maintenance history information shown in FIG. 12 is illustrated as being composed of the items described above, but it is not limited to these items and may include items that have previously been set.

[0051] The maintenance history information storage unit 26 is realized by an HDD mounted on the facility management device 1. Alternatively, RAM or external storage means may be used via a network.

[0052] Next, the information display process in this embodiment will be described, but the basic process flow is the same as that in the first embodiment shown in Fig. 7. However, the processes in steps 110 and 120 in Fig. 7 are slightly different.

[0053] A user of the facility management device 1 inputs information that can identify maintenance work that has been performed in the past from a specified input screen. For example, information that can identify maintenance work, such as "regular inspections performed on air conditioning equipment within the last three months," is input and specified in this input example, which includes the time period "within three months," the equipment type "air conditioning equipment," and the work content "regular inspection." The format of the input specified by the user does not need to be particularly limited. When a document is input as described above, a document analysis tool may be used to extract words and phrases set in the maintenance history information, or a specified input screen may be displayed with a list of words and phrases set in the maintenance history information so that the user can select one.

[0054] The reception unit 11 receives, as input information, information input by the user that can identify the maintenance work (step 110). Next, the data extraction unit 12 extracts information specified by the user, in this example, maintenance history information that records that a periodic inspection was performed on the air conditioning equipment within the past three months. Next, the data extraction unit 12 references the equipment information to extract location information from the equipment information, including the equipment name, included in the extracted maintenance history information. The data extraction unit 12 also references the traffic light information to extract a signal ID from the traffic light information, including the equipment name, that is, the equipment to be inspected, included in the extracted maintenance history information. This extracts status information corresponding to the corresponding signal ID from the status information storage unit 21. Here, since it is sufficient to identify the equipment that underwent the periodic inspection, it is not necessary to display the status value of the monitored equipment. However, as described above, it is also possible to extract only status information corresponding to the "status" of the monitored equipment. In this manner, the data extraction unit 12 acquires the signal ID, equipment name, status value, and location information required for the display data generation unit 13 to generate display data, as in the first embodiment (step 120). The subsequent processing may be the same as in the first embodiment, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0055] According to this embodiment, as described above, it is possible to narrow down the display to only the desired information, such as the above-mentioned example of "regular inspections carried out on air conditioning equipment within the last three months," and to graphically display it.
