[Effects of the Invention]

[0016] The terminal device described in claim 1, or Claim 6 According to the display program described, when the display control means receives input for a switching operation via the display means in the operation display state, it switches from the target operation screen to another operation screen and displays the switched operation screen as the target operation screen on the display means. Therefore, in the operation display state, simply by performing a switching operation, the target operation screen can be switched to another target operation screen and displayed. Thus, compared to operating an open / close device via an operation screen for operating an open / close device after a selection operation is received on a selection screen for selecting a candidate open / close device to be operated, the effort required to switch from one target operation screen to another is reduced, and the desired open / close device can be operated quickly, thereby improving the operability of the terminal device. Furthermore, since the operation screen has an opening / closing operation area and a switching operation area positioned on the operation screen that does not overlap with the opening / closing operation area, compared to the case where the opening / closing operation area and the switching operation area overlap on the operation screen, it is possible to suppress erroneous operations related to the opening / closing device and / or switching operations, and improve the operability of the operation screen. Furthermore, since the opening / closing operation area is located in the center of the operation screen and the switching operation area is located at one of the longitudinal ends of the operation screen, compared to the case where the opening / closing operation area is located at the longitudinal end of the operation screen and the switching operation area is located in the center of the operation screen, the operation of the opening / closing device becomes easier, thus improving the operability of the opening / closing operation area. Furthermore, since the switching operation area has a switching unit that accepts input for switching operations when either a swipe or flick operation is performed along either the short side of the operation screen relative to the switching unit, it is easier to prevent accidental input of switching operations compared to when the input to the switching unit is a touch operation, thus improving the operability of the switching operation area.

[0017] The terminal device according to claim 2 , or the display program described in claim 7 According to this, The display control means, when an input for a switching operation is received via the display means while the operation display state is active, switches from the target operation screen to another operation screen and displays the switched operation screen as the target operation screen on the display means. Therefore, while the operation display state is active, simply by performing a switching operation, the target operation screen can be switched to another target operation screen and displayed. Thus, compared to operating an open / close device via an operation screen for operating an open / close device after a selection operation is received on a selection screen for selecting a candidate open / close device to be operated, the effort required to switch from one target operation screen to another is reduced, and the desired open / close device can be operated quickly, thereby improving the operability of the terminal device. Also, Since the operation screen has an opening / closing operation area and a switching operation area arranged at a position that does not overlap with the opening / closing operation area on the operation screen, compared with the case where the opening / closing operation area and the switching operation area are arranged to overlap on the operation screen, it is possible to suppress misoperations of operations related to the opening / closing device or / and switching operations, and improve the operability of the operation screen.

[0018] According to the terminal device according to claim 3 The display control means displays switchgear identification information on the display means that uniquely identifies the switchgear corresponding to the target operation screen when the operation display state is active. This allows the user of the terminal device to see the switchgear identification information when the operation display state is active, enabling the user of the terminal device to accurately operate the switchgear they wish to operate.

[0019] <000II=23]] According to the terminal device according to claim 4 The display control means displays communication status information on the display means when the operation display state is active. This allows the user of the terminal device to visually confirm the communication status information when the operation display state is active, and enables the user of the terminal device to take appropriate measures according to the communication status (for example, moving the terminal device to a location where communication is possible if the switching device and the terminal device cannot communicate).

[0020] According to the terminal device according to claim 5 The display control means, when the timing for displaying the target operation screen arrives, prioritizes displaying the operation screen identified by the operation screen identification means as the target operation screen over the display means. This allows the opening / closing device corresponding to that operation screen to be operated quickly, enabling the user of the terminal device to quickly operate the opening / closing device they wish to operate.

[0025] The embodiments of the terminal device and display program according to this invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings. First, the basic concept of Embodiment [I] will be explained, then the specific details of Embodiment [II] will be explained, and finally, modifications of Embodiment [III] will be explained. However, the present invention is not limited by the embodiments.

[0026] [I] Basic Concepts of the Embodiments First, the basic concept of the embodiment will be explained. The embodiment is, in general terms, a terminal device capable of communicating with each of a plurality of opening and closing devices provided in each of a plurality of openings in a building, and the terminal device is equipped with a display means capable of receiving input for operations related to the plurality of opening and closing devices, and a display program to be executed by the terminal device.

[0027] Here, the specific structure and type of "building" are arbitrary, but the concept includes, for example, detached houses, apartment buildings and condominiums, office buildings, commercial facilities, and public facilities.

[0028] Furthermore, "building openings" refer to openings formed in a part of the building's structure (for example, walls, floors, ceilings, etc.) for the purpose of installing doorways or windows.

[0029] Furthermore, opening and closing devices are devices installed in building openings for security and fire prevention purposes, and the concept includes all types of electrically driven shutter devices (for example, roll-up shutter devices and overhead sliding shutter devices), automatic doors, door devices, and window devices. The opening and closing directions of opening and closing devices include, for example, the up and down direction, the left and right direction, and the front and back direction.

[0030] Furthermore, the term "open / closed state of an opening / closing mechanism" is a concept that includes, for example, "fully closed state," "fully open state," and "partially open state."

[0031] Of these, "fully closed state" refers to the state in which the opening is completely closed by the opening / closing mechanism, and the position of the opening / closing mechanism in this fully closed state is called the "fully closed position." Also, "fully open state" refers to the state in which the opening is completely opened by the opening / closing mechanism, and the position of the opening / closing mechanism in this fully open state is called the "fully open position." Furthermore, "half-open state" refers to the state in which the opening / closing mechanism is located between the fully closed position and the fully open position, and the position of the opening / closing mechanism in the half-open state is called the "half-open position."

[0032] Furthermore, "operations related to the opening and closing device" is a concept that includes, for example, operations to open and close the opening and closing body of the opening and closing device (for example, the opening movement, closing movement, and / or the operation to stop the opening and closing movement of the opening and closing body), and / or the operation of the auxiliary equipment described later.

[0033] The specific types of "terminal devices" are arbitrary, but the concept includes, for example, mobile devices (such as smartphones and tablet devices), stationary personal computers, and remote controls specifically for switching devices.

[0034] In the following embodiment, we will describe a case where the opening and closing device is an up-and-down opening and closing type electric shutter (specifically, a retractable electric shutter) installed at the entrance and exit of a garage in a building such as an apartment building, and the terminal device is a smartphone.

[0035] [II] Specific details of the embodiment Next, the specific details of the embodiment will be described.

[0036] (composition) First, we will describe the configuration of the terminal device 100 according to the embodiment, which constitutes the control system described later, and the configuration of the switchgear 1 to which the terminal device 100 is applied.

[0037] In the following explanation, the X direction in Figure 1 is referred to as the left-right direction of the opening / closing device 1 (-X direction is the left direction of the opening / closing device 1, and +X direction is the right direction of the opening / closing device 1), the Y direction in Figure 1 is referred to as the up-down direction of the opening / closing device 1 (+Y direction is the up direction of the opening / closing device 1, and -Y direction is the down direction of the opening / closing device 1), and the directions perpendicular to the X and Y directions are referred to as the front-back direction (the direction leading to the front of the page in Figure 1 is the front direction of the opening / closing device 1 (the direction towards the outside of the building), and the direction leading to the back of the page in Figure 1 is the rear direction of the opening / closing device 1 (the direction towards the inside of the building)).

[0038] The opening / closing device 1 is a device for opening and closing openings 3 (in this embodiment, multiple openings 3 are provided) that are located in at least one opening 3 in the building's structure 2 (for example, the building's wall, etc.) for the entry and exit of a resident M, described later. This opening / closing device 1 is installed in each of the multiple openings 3 and, as shown in Figure 1, generally comprises a storage unit 10, a guide rail 20, an opening / closing body 30, an opening / closing mechanism 40, a winding shaft (not shown), and an opening / closing side control system 50. Unless otherwise specified, the configuration of the opening / closing device 1 is assumed to be the same as in the conventional design and will not be described further.

[0039] Here, "resident M" refers to a person staying in the building, such as a resident or manager of the building.

[0040] Furthermore, the connection configuration of each component that makes up this switching device 1 is set as shown below.

[0041] In other words, the control unit 60 of the switching-side control system 50, which will be described later, is electrically connected to the switch 40, the operating unit 51, position detection unit 52, rotation speed detection unit 53, and receiving unit 56 of the switching-side control system 50, which will be described later, via wiring 4. This allows for communication or power supply between the control unit 60, which will be described later, and the switch 40, the operating unit 51, the position detection unit 52, the rotation speed detection unit 53, or the receiving unit 56, which will be described later, either directly or indirectly.

[0042] The method of attaching (or connecting) the various components that make up the opening / closing device 1 to each other is arbitrary, but for example, a method is employed in which the mounting component is attached (or connected) to the mounting component by fasteners (e.g., rivets, mounting screws, screws, etc.), welding, adhesive, double-sided tape, etc., via mounting holes (e.g., rivet holes, screw holes, bolt holes, etc.) formed in the mounting component or the mounting component.

[0043] (Configuration - Storage section) The storage section 10 is a hollow body for housing the various parts of the opening / closing device 1. As shown in Figure 1, this storage section 10 is installed above the upper end of the opening 3 in the building wall. The opening / closing mechanism 40, the winding shaft, and the position detection unit 52, rotation speed detection unit 53, receiving unit 56, and control unit 60 of the opening / closing side control system 50 (described later) are housed inside the storage section 10. When the opening / closing body 30 is wound up by the winding shaft, at least a part of the opening / closing body 30 is also housed inside the storage section 10.

[0044] (Configuration - Guide rails) The guide rail 20 guides the opening / closing body 30 to move along the opening / closing direction (vertical direction) of the opening 3. The guide rail 20 is a long body formed with a roughly U-shaped cross-section, and is positioned at each of the left and right ends of the opening / closing device 1 in a direction roughly aligned with the vertical direction, and is directly fixed to the building wall or indirectly fixed via a base material (not shown).

[0045] (Configuration - Opening / Closing Mechanism) The opening / closing body 30 is a shielding means that is moved to close or open by a winding shaft, thereby allowing the opening / closing state of the opening / closing body 30 to be fully open, fully closed, or half open. As shown in Figure 1, the opening / closing body 30 is composed of a plurality of slats 31, and the plurality of slats 31 are fitted and connected to each other via fitting portions (not shown) formed at both the upper and lower ends of each slat 31.

[0046] Furthermore, each of the left and right ends of the opening / closing body 30 is inserted into the guide rail 20 via the U-shaped open end of the guide rail 20, allowing it to slide within the guide rail 20 in the vertical direction, while being restricted from falling out of the guide rail 20 in the front-rear direction.

[0047] Furthermore, a seat plate 32 is connected to the closing end of the opening / closing body 30 (specifically, the lower end of the opening / closing body 30; hereinafter referred to as the "closing end"). This seat plate 32 is positioned to be close to or in contact with the building's floor surface when fully closed, and is formed along the entire length of the closing end of the opening / closing body 30 in the left-right direction.

[0048] (Configuration - Switching mechanism) The opening / closing mechanism 40 is a driving means that electrically opens and closes the opening / closing body 30 by controlling the rotation of the winding shaft. This opening / closing mechanism 40 is composed of, for example, a known opening / closing mechanism, and as shown in Figure 1, is installed inside the storage section 10 in the vicinity of the winding shaft.

[0049] (Configuration - Opening / closing device - Winding shaft) The winding shaft is a pivot shaft for closing or opening the opening / closing body 30. This winding shaft is constructed using, for example, a known winding shaft, and is installed along the left-right direction.

[0050] Furthermore, a connecting slat (not shown) connected to the upper end of the opening / closing body 30 is connected to this winding shaft, and by rotating this winding shaft, the opening / closing body 30 can be moved in a closed or open position via the connecting slat. In addition, since the left end (or right end) of this winding shaft is connected to the output shaft of the opening / closing device 40 via a chain (not shown), the winding shaft can be rotated in conjunction with the rotation of the output shaft of the opening / closing device 40.

[0051] (Configuration - Switching device - Switching side control system) The opening / closing control system 50 is for controlling the opening / closing device 1 and, as shown in Figure 1, comprises an operating unit 51, a position detection unit 52, a rotation speed detection unit 53, a seat plate switch 54, a transmitting unit 55, a receiving unit 56, and a control unit 60.

[0052] (Configuration - Switching device - Switching side control system - Operating unit) The operating unit 51 is an operating means for performing operations on the opening and closing device 1. This operating unit 51 is configured using, for example, a known operating means for shutter devices (for example, a wired or wireless operating device), and as shown in Figure 1, it is located outside the storage unit 10, near the opening 3, and in a position where it can be operated by the person staying inside M.

[0053] Here, "operation of the opening / closing device 1" in this embodiment refers to a concept that includes the opening and closing operation of the opening / closing body 30 of the opening / closing device 1 (specifically, opening operation, closing operation, stopping operation) and / or the operation of auxiliary equipment (not shown) attached to the opening / closing device 1.

[0054] Furthermore, "accessory equipment" includes, for example, a lighting device for illuminating the opening / closing device 1 and / or its vicinity (for example, a known lighting fixture), or / or a locking device for locking the lid of the housing that houses the operating unit 51 or the opening / closing body 30 (for example, a known electric lock), but in this embodiment, it will be described as a lighting device.

[0055] Furthermore, "operation of auxiliary equipment" includes, for example, turning the lights on and off of a lighting device, and / or locking and unlocking a locking device, but in this embodiment, it will be described as turning the lights on and off of a lighting device.

[0056] (Configuration - Opening / closing device - Opening / closing side control system - Position detection unit, Rotation speed detection unit) The position detection unit 52 is a detection means for detecting the position of the opening / closing body 30 (specifically, the position of the lower end of the opening / closing body 30) and outputting a signal indicating the detected position (hereinafter referred to as the "position signal") at a predetermined interval. The rotation speed detection unit 53 is a detection means for detecting the rotation speed of the drive unit of the opening / closing mechanism 40 (hereinafter referred to as the "rotation speed of the drive unit") and outputting a signal indicating the detected rotation speed (hereinafter referred to as the "rotation speed signal") at a predetermined interval. The specific configurations of the position detection unit 52 and the rotation speed detection unit 53 are arbitrary, but in this embodiment, they are configured using a Hall IC or the like that has the functions of both the position detection unit 52 and the rotation speed detection unit 53. However, it is not limited to this, and for example, the position detection unit 52 may be configured using an encoder (or potentiometer), and the rotation speed detection unit 53 may be configured using a tachogenerator.

Furthermore, the item "Switching device identification information" includes items related to terminal device identification information, namely "Switching device serial number information" and "Switching device name information".

[0150] Of these, the information corresponding to the item "Opening / Closing Device Identification Information" is the opening / closing device identification information. Furthermore, the information corresponding to the item "Opening / Closing Device Serial Number Information" is the opening / closing device serial number information, for example, as shown in Figure 6, this would be "1001," which is the serial number of opening / closing device 1. In addition, the information corresponding to the item "Opening / Closing Device Name Information" is the opening / closing device name information, for example, as shown in Figure 6, this would be "Shutter 1," which is the name of opening / closing device 1.

[0151] Furthermore, the information corresponding to the item "Opening / Closing Device Type Information" is the opening / closing device type information indicating the type of opening / closing device 1. For example, as shown in Figure 6, this includes types such as "winding type opening / closing device" and "overslider type opening / closing device."

[0152] Furthermore, the information corresponding to the item "Operation Screen" is image information representing the operation screen DA, and for example, as shown in Figure 6, this includes "PIC001.JPG", which is the data for the operation screen DA.

[0153] Furthermore, the information corresponding to the item "Priority Display Information" is the priority display information described later. For example, as shown in Figure 6, this includes "○" indicating that the priority display information described later is stored, and "×" indicating that the priority display information described later is not stored.

[0154] (Control processing) Next, the control processes executed by the switching-side control unit 64 of the control unit 60 of each switching device 1 and the terminal-side control unit 107 of each terminal device 100 will be described. In the following description, the steps in the processes shown in Figures 7, 8, 11, 13 to 16, 18 to 20, 22, 23, 25, 26, 28, 29, 31, 32, 34, and 35 will be abbreviated as "S".

[0155] The control process is a process for controlling the control unit 60 of each switchgear 1 and each terminal device 100. The timing of executing this control process is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, it will be described as being started when the terminal-side application described later is launched on each terminal device 100 after the power to each switchgear 1 and each terminal device 100 has been turned on.

[0156] In this embodiment, multiple control units 60 and terminal devices 100 are provided, and the content of the control processing performed by each of the multiple control units 60 and terminal devices 100 is the same. Therefore, in the following, the control units 60 and terminal devices 100 that are the subject of the explanation will be referred to as the target control units and target terminal devices, and the control processing performed by the target control units and target terminal devices will be described.

[0157] (Control process - Prerequisites for the control process) Furthermore, the prerequisites for the control process in this embodiment are as follows.

[0158] In other words, the explanation assumes that the opening / closing bodies 30 of the multiple opening / closing devices 1 installed in the building are in a fully closed state, and that the operating state of the auxiliary equipment attached to any of the multiple opening / closing devices 1 is in a non-operating state (for example, the operating state of the lighting device is off).

[0159] Furthermore, it will be explained that registration DB65a does not store terminal device identification information, attribute information, or authorization information. Also, it will be explained that operation history DB65b does not store operation date and time information, terminal device identification information, or switchgear operation information.

[0160] Furthermore, it is assumed that the target control unit has the registration program and authorization program described above installed. Also, it is assumed that the target terminal device has an application program (hereinafter referred to as "terminal-side application") installed, which includes a display program, an operation transmission program, a registration transmission program, and a control program.

[0161] Furthermore, the target control unit will be described as executing the following processes in parallel: registration processing, opening / closing / modification processing, operation processing, handover processing, first deletion processing, second deletion processing, modification processing, and / or history confirmation processing.

[0162] (Control process - Details of the control process) Next, we will explain the details of the control process.

[0163] After the control process is started, as shown in Figure 7, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device (specifically, the first terminal device 100a or the second terminal device 100b) in SA1 determines whether or not the timing for executing the initial setup process described later (hereinafter referred to as the "initial setup timing") has arrived.

[0164] The method for determining whether or not this initial setup timing has arrived is arbitrary, but for example, it can be determined based on whether or not terminal device identification information (specifically, user name information and user telephone number information) is stored in the terminal-side storage unit 108 of the target terminal device immediately after the control process is started. If terminal device identification information is not stored in the terminal-side storage unit 108, it is determined that the initial setup timing has arrived, and if terminal device identification information is stored in the terminal-side storage unit 108, it is determined that the initial setup timing has not arrived.

[0165] Then, if the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines that the initial setup timing has arrived (SA1, Yes), it starts the initial setup process (SA2) and then proceeds to SA1. On the other hand, if it determines that the initial setup timing has not arrived (SA1, No), it proceeds to SA3.

[0166] In SA3, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines whether or not the timing for executing the registration process described later (hereinafter referred to as the "registration timing") has arrived.

[0167] The method for determining whether or not the registration timing has arrived is arbitrary, but for example, it can be determined based on whether or not the timing of SA3 processing is immediately after the execution of the initial setup process, regardless of whether or not registration authority information has been granted to the target terminal device, or, if registration authority information has been granted to the target terminal device, whether or not the input of a registration instruction operation has been received via the terminal-side display unit 103 in the operation display state. Here, if it is immediately after the execution of the initial setup process, or if the input of a registration instruction operation has been received, it is determined that the registration timing has arrived, and if it is not immediately after the execution of the initial setup process, or if the input of a registration instruction operation has not been received, it is determined that the registration timing has not arrived.

[0168] Furthermore, while the details of this registration instruction operation are optional, for example, in the operation display state shown in Figure 9(a), a selection button DB1 is provided on the auxiliary screen DB which is displayed simultaneously with the target operation screen DAA. After the selection button DB1 is operated to select various processes, as shown in Figure 10, the process selection screen DC is displayed on the terminal-side display unit 103 screen in place of the target operation screen DAA, and among the various buttons displayed on the process selection screen DC, the registration button DC1, which accepts input to execute the registration process described later, is operated.

[0169] In this embodiment, the various buttons displayed on the processing selection screen DC include, as shown in Figure 10, a registration button DC1, an open / close change button DC2 that accepts input indicating that the open / close change processing described later should be executed, a history confirmation button DC3 that accepts input indicating that the history confirmation processing described later should be executed, a change button DC4 that accepts input indicating that the change processing described later should be executed, a delete button DC5 that accepts input indicating that the first delete processing or the second delete processing described later should be executed, and a transfer button DC6 that accepts input indicating that the transfer processing described later should be executed.

[0170] Returning to Figure 7, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device, if it determines that the registration timing has arrived (SA3, Yes), initiates the registration process (SA4), and then proceeds to SA1. On the other hand, if it determines that the registration timing has not arrived (SA3, No), it proceeds to SA5. Details of the registration process will be described later.

[0171] In SA5, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines whether or not the timing for executing the operation process described later (hereinafter referred to as "operation timing") has arrived.

[0172] The method for determining whether or not this operation timing has arrived is arbitrary, but for example, it can be determined based on whether or not various processes currently being executed (specifically, initial setup process, registration process, open / close change process described later, handover process described later, first deletion process described later, second deletion process described later, change process described later, and history confirmation process described later) have been completed in the terminal device 100 to which operation authority information has been granted (specifically, the first terminal device 100a and the second terminal device 100b), whether or not input for a predetermined operation has been accepted while the process selection screen DC is displayed, or, if terminal device identification information (specifically, user name information and user telephone number information) is stored in the terminal-side storage unit 108 of the target terminal device, whether or not the timing of the SA5 process is immediately after the start of the control process.

[0173] Here, if the various processes currently being executed are completed, if the input for the predetermined operation is received, or if the terminal device identification information is stored, it is determined that the timing for the operation has arrived. If the various processes currently being executed are not completed, if the input for the predetermined operation is not received, or if the terminal device identification information is not stored, it is determined that the timing for the operation has not arrived.

[0174] Then, if the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines that the operation timing has arrived (SA5, Yes), it starts the operation process (SA6) and then proceeds to SA1. On the other hand, if it determines that the operation timing has not arrived (SA5, No), it proceeds to SA7. Details of the operation process will be described later.

[0175] In SA7, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines whether or not the timing for executing the opening / closing change process described later (hereinafter referred to as the "open / closing change timing") has arrived.

[0176] The method for determining whether or not this opening / closing change timing has arrived is arbitrary, but for example, it can be determined based on whether or not an opening / closing change instruction operation input has been received via the terminal-side display unit 103 in the operation display state of the terminal device 100 (specifically, the first terminal device 100a and the second terminal device 100b) to which opening / closing change authority information has been granted.

[0177] Furthermore, while the details of this opening / closing change instruction operation are arbitrary, for example, in the operation display state, after the selection button DB1 of the attached screen DB is operated, the processing selection screen DC is displayed on the terminal-side display unit 103 screen in place of the target operation screen DAA, as shown in Figure 10, and the opening / closing change button DC2 displayed on the processing selection screen DC is operated.

[0178] Returning to Figure 7, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device proceeds to the opening / closing change process (SA8) if it determines that the opening / closing change timing has arrived (SA7, Yes), and then proceeds to SA1. On the other hand, if it determines that the opening / closing change timing has not arrived (SA7, No), it proceeds to SA9. Details of the opening / closing change process will be described later.

[0179] In SA9, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines whether or not the timing for executing the handover process described later (hereinafter referred to as the "handover timing") has arrived.

[0180] The method for determining whether or not this handover timing has arrived is arbitrary, but for example, it can be determined based on whether or not a handover instruction operation input has been received via the terminal-side display unit 103 in the operation display state of the terminal device 100 (specifically, the first terminal device 100a) to which the handover authority information has been granted.

[0181] Furthermore, while the details of this handover instruction operation are arbitrary, for example, in the operation display state, after the selection button DB1 of the attached screen DB is operated, the processing selection screen DC is displayed on the terminal-side display unit 103 screen in place of the target operation screen DAA, as shown in Figure 10, and the handover button DC6 displayed on the processing selection screen DC is operated.

[0182] Returning to Figure 7, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device proceeds to the handover process (SA10) if it determines that the handover timing has arrived (SA9, Yes), and then proceeds to SA1. On the other hand, if it determines that the handover timing has not arrived (SA9, No), it proceeds to SA11. Details of the handover process will be described later.

[0183] In SA11, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines whether or not the timing for executing the first deletion process described later (hereinafter referred to as the "first deletion timing") has arrived.

[0184] The method for determining whether or not this first deletion timing has arrived is arbitrary, but for example, it can be determined based on whether or not the input of the first deletion instruction operation was received via the terminal-side display unit 103 in the operation display state on the terminal device 100 (specifically, the first terminal device 100a) to which the first deletion authority information has been granted.

[0185] Furthermore, while the details of this first deletion instruction operation are arbitrary, for example, in the operation display state, after the selection button DB1 of the attached screen DB is operated, the processing selection screen DC is displayed on the terminal-side display unit 103 screen in place of the target operation screen DAA, as shown in Figure 10, and the delete button DC5 displayed on the processing selection screen DC is operated.

[0186] Returning to Figure 7, if the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines that the first deletion timing has arrived (SA11, Yes), it proceeds to the first deletion process (SA12), and then proceeds to SA1. On the other hand, if it determines that the first deletion timing has not arrived (SA11, No), it proceeds to SA13, as shown in Figure 8. Details of the processing content of the first deletion process will be described later.

[0187] In SA13, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines whether the timing for executing the second deletion process described later (hereinafter referred to as the "second deletion timing") has arrived.

[0188] The method for determining whether or not this second deletion timing has arrived is arbitrary, but for example, it can be determined based on whether or not the input of a second deletion instruction operation was received via the terminal-side display unit 103 in the operation display state on the terminal device 100 (specifically, the second terminal device 100b) to which the second deletion authority information has been granted.

[0189] Furthermore, while the details of this second deletion instruction operation are optional, for example, in the operation display state, after the selection button DB1 of the attached screen DB is operated, the processing selection screen DC is displayed on the terminal-side display unit 103 screen in place of the target operation screen DAA, as shown in Figure 10, and the delete button DC5 displayed on the processing selection screen DC is operated.

[0190] Returning to Figure 8, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device proceeds to the second deletion process (SA14) if it determines that the second deletion timing has arrived (SA13, Yes), and then proceeds to SA1. On the other hand, if it determines that the second deletion timing has not arrived (SA13, No), it proceeds to SA15. Details of the second deletion process will be described later.

[0191] In SA15, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines whether the timing for executing the change process described later (that is, the timing for changing the authentication information stored in the control unit 60; hereinafter referred to as the "change timing") has arrived.

[0192] The method for determining whether or not this change timing has arrived is arbitrary, but for example, it can be determined based on whether or not a change instruction operation input was received via the terminal-side display unit 103 in the operation display state on the terminal device 100 (specifically, the first terminal device 100a) to which change authority information has been granted.

[0193] Furthermore, while the details of this change instruction operation are arbitrary, for example, in the operation display state, after the selection button DB1 of the attached screen DB is operated, the process selection screen DC is displayed on the terminal-side display unit 103 screen in place of the target operation screen DAA, as shown in Figure 10, and the change button DC4 displayed on the process selection screen DC is operated.

[0194] Returning to Figure 8, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device proceeds to the change process (SA16) if it determines that the change timing has arrived (SA15, Yes), and then proceeds to SA1. On the other hand, if it determines that the change timing has not arrived (SA15, No), it proceeds to SA17. Details of the change process will be described later.

[0195] In SA17, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines whether or not the timing for executing the history confirmation process described later (hereinafter referred to as the "history confirmation timing") has arrived.

[0196] The method for determining whether or not this history confirmation timing has arrived is arbitrary, but for example, it can be determined based on whether or not a history confirmation instruction operation input was received via the terminal-side display unit 103 while the operation display state was active in the terminal device 100 (specifically, the first terminal device 100a) to which history confirmation authority information has been granted.

[0197] Furthermore, while the details of this history confirmation instruction operation are arbitrary, for example, in the operation display state, after the selection button DB1 of the attached screen DB is operated, the process selection screen DC is displayed on the terminal-side display unit 103 screen in place of the target operation screen DAA, as shown in Figure 10, and the history confirmation button DC3 displayed on the process selection screen DC is operated.

[0198] Returning to Figure 8, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device proceeds to the history confirmation process (SA18) if it determines that the history confirmation timing has arrived (SA17, Yes), and then proceeds to SA1. On the other hand, if it determines that the history confirmation timing has not arrived (SA17, No), it proceeds to SA1, and then repeats the process from SA1 to SA18 in the same manner. Details of the history confirmation process will be described later.

[0199] (Control process - Details of control process - Initial setup process) Next, we will explain the initial setup process for SA2 in Figure 7.

[0200] The initial setup process is a process for performing initial settings related to the control processes executed in the terminal device 100.

[0201] When the initial setup process is initiated, as shown in Figure 11, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device (specifically, the first terminal device 100a or the second terminal device 100b) in SB1 determines whether or not the above initial setup is to be executed.

[0202] The method for determining whether or not this initial setup will be performed is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 12(a), a first initial setup screen DDa having an initial setup execution button DDa1 that accepts input indicating that the initial setup will be performed is displayed on the screen of the terminal-side display unit 103, and the determination is made based on whether or not an operation input (for example, simply touching the terminal-side display unit 103 with a finger, etc.) of the initial setup execution button DDa1 is accepted within a predetermined time (for example, within 1 minute, etc.).

[0203] If an input to the initial setup execution button DDa1 is received within the predetermined time, it is determined that the initial setup will be performed. If an input to the initial setup execution button DDa1 is not received within the predetermined time, it is determined that the initial setup will not be performed.

[0204] Returning to Figure 11, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device proceeds to SB2 if it determines that the above initial setup should be performed (SB1, Yes). On the other hand, if it determines that the above initial setup should not be performed (SB1, No), the initial setup process is terminated, and after that, for example, the terminal-side application may also be forcibly terminated.

[0205] In SB2, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines whether the user of the target terminal device has agreed to the terms of service of the terminal-side application.

[0206] The method for determining whether or not you agree to these Terms of Use is optional, but in this embodiment, the determination will be made as follows.

[0207] Specifically, first, as shown in Figure 12(b), the second initial setup screen DDb is displayed on the screen of the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0208] This second initial setup screen DDb displays terms of service information indicating the terms of service for the terminal application, and includes an initial setup checkbox DDb1 for checking that the user agrees to the above terms of service, and a terms of service confirmation button DDb2 for receiving input indicating that the user has reviewed the above terms of service.

[0209] Then, a determination is made based on whether or not an operation input (for example, a touch operation) has been received for the Terms of Service confirmation button DDb2 while the initial setup checkbox DDb1 has been checked via the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0210] In this state, if the user input is received when clicking the Terms of Service confirmation button DDb2, it is determined that the user has agreed to the Terms of Service. If the user input is not received when clicking the Terms of Service confirmation button DDb2, it is determined that the user has not agreed to the Terms of Service.

[0211] Returning to Figure 11, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device waits until it is determined that the user has agreed to the above terms of service (SB2, No), and if it is determined that the user has agreed to the above terms of service (SB2, Yes), it proceeds to SB3.

[0212] In SB3, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines whether or not terminal device identification information has been received via the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0213] The method for determining whether or not the input of this terminal device identification information has been accepted is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, the determination is made as follows.

[0214] Specifically, first, as shown in Figure 12(c), the third initial setup screen DDc is displayed on the screen of the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0215] This third initial setup screen DDc displays cautionary information regarding the input of terminal device identification information, and also includes a user name input box DDc1 for entering user name information, a user phone number input box DDc2 for entering user phone number information, and an identification information input completion button DDc3 to indicate that the input of terminal device identification information has been completed.

[0216] Then, a determination is made based on whether or not an operation input (for example, a touch operation input) of the identification information input completion button DDc3 has been accepted, with user name information entered into the user name input box DDc1 via the terminal-side display unit 103 and user phone number information entered into the user phone number input box DDc2.

[0217] In this state, if the operation input of the identification information input completion button DDc3 is received, it is determined that the terminal device identification information has been received. If the operation input of the identification information input completion button DDc3 is not received in the above state, it is determined that the terminal device identification information has not been received.

[0218] Returning to Figure 11, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device waits until it is determined that the input of terminal device identification information has been received (SB3, No), and if it is determined that the input of terminal device identification information has been received (SB3, Yes), it proceeds to SB4.

[0219] In SB4, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device registers (specifically, stores) the terminal device identification information (specifically, user name information and user telephone number information) received as input in SB3 in the terminal-side storage unit 108, and then terminates the initial setup process.

[0220] For example, if SB3 receives input of user name information = "AAAA" and user phone number information = "09011111111", this user name information and user phone number information will be registered in the terminal-side storage unit 108.

[0221] This initial setup process makes it possible to easily perform the above initial setup using only the terminal device 100.

[0222] (Control process - Details of control process - Registration process) Next, we will explain the registration process for SA4 in Figure 7.

[0223] The registration process involves registering terminal device identification information in a control unit 60 provided in the switchgear 1, in order to enable remote operation of the switchgear 1 by the terminal device 100.

[0224] When the registration process is initiated, as shown in Figure 13, the switchgear identification unit 107f in SC1 identifies the switchgear 1 equipped with a control unit 60 capable of registering terminal device identification information.

[0225] The method for identifying the opening / closing device 1 is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, from among the opening / closing devices 1 installed in the building, an opening / closing device 1 equipped with a control unit 60 that satisfies the registration conditions is extracted, and the extracted opening / closing device 1 is identified as the opening / closing device 1 to be identified. Furthermore, opening / closing device identification information (specifically, opening / closing device serial number information) that uniquely identifies the extracted opening / closing device 1 is obtained from the extracted opening / closing device 1 (specifically, the control unit 60).

[0226] Here, "registration conditions" in this embodiment include conditions such as the target terminal device being located within the communication range of the control unit 60, the communication code between the control unit 60 and the target terminal device being the same, the registration of terminal device identification information not being restricted in the control unit 60, and the terminal device identification information corresponding to the target terminal device not being registered in the registration DB 65a of the control unit 60. However, the conditions are not limited to these, and may include, for example, only one (or two or three) of the above-mentioned items.

[0227] In SC2, the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device displays only the switchgear identification information (specifically, the switchgear serial number information) that uniquely identifies the switchgear 1 identified in SC1 on the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0228] The method of displaying this switchgear identification information is optional, but in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 17(a), the first registration screen DEa, which displays the switchgear serial number information acquired by SC1, is displayed on the screen of the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0229] Specifically, in the long first registration screen DEa, multiple switchgear serial number information entries (such as "1001", "1002", "1003", "1004", "1005", etc. in Figure 17(a)) are displayed side by side along the longitudinal direction of the first registration screen DEa. Note that, for example, if only one switchgear serial number information entry is obtained by SC1, that entry may simply be displayed.

[0230] This display allows only the switchgear identification information of switchgear 1 that may be subject to registration to be displayed on the terminal-side display unit 103 of the terminal device 100, thereby effectively supporting the registration of terminal device identification information.

[0231] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 17(a), the first registration screen DEa is displayed with registration selection buttons DEa1 provided at positions corresponding to the displayed switchgear identification information, and includes a registration selection button DEa1 for selecting the corresponding switchgear identification information and a registration return button DEa2 for returning to the processing selection screen DC.

[0232] Returning to Figure 13, in SC3, the switchgear identification unit 107f of the target terminal device identifies the switchgear identification information corresponding to the switchgear 1 to be registered for terminal device identification information from the switchgear identification information (specifically, switchgear serial number information) displayed in SC2.

[0233] Here, the method for identifying the corresponding switchgear identification information is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, it is identified by receiving an operation input (for example, a touch operation input) of the registration selection button DEa1 that corresponds to the corresponding switchgear identification information, among the registration selection buttons DEa1 displayed on the first registration screen DEa.

[0234] In SC4, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device acquires authentication information (for example, authentication information indicating "1234"), switchgear name information, switchgear type information, and priority display information.

[0235] Here, "priority display information" refers to information indicating that, among multiple operation screens DA, the target operation screen DAA should be displayed with priority on the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0236] Furthermore, while the method for obtaining this authentication information is optional, in this embodiment it will be obtained as follows.

[0237] First, as shown in Figure 17(b), the second registration screen DEb is displayed on the screen of the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0238] This second registration screen DEb is displayed with the following features: a switchgear type selection checkbox DEb1 for selecting switchgear type information, a switchgear name input box DEb2 for entering switchgear name information, an authentication input box DEb3 for entering authentication information, a priority display checkbox DEb4 for prioritizing the display of the operation screen DA, a registration confirmation button DEb5 for confirming the information entered on the second registration screen DEb, a first registration return button DEb6 for returning to the first registration screen DEa, and a second registration return button DEb7 for returning to the processing selection screen DC.

[0239] Then, the information is acquired when the terminal-side display unit 103 checks the checkbox DEb1 for selecting a specific switchgear type, the switchgear name information and authentication information are entered into the switchgear name input box DEb2 and the authentication input box DEb3, and the priority display checkbox DEb4 is checked (however, checking the priority display checkbox DEb4 is not mandatory), and the operation input of the registration confirmation button DEb5 (for example, a touch operation input) is accepted.

[0240] In this embodiment, the authentication information entered into the authentication input box DEb3 will be the authentication information (specifically, the first authentication information or the second authentication information) stored in the control unit 60 during the processing of SC4. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the priority display checkbox DEb4 is checked, the operation screen identification unit 107b of the target terminal device will identify the operation screen DA corresponding to the switchgear identification information identified in SC3 as the "operation screen DA to be displayed with priority on the terminal-side display unit 103 as the target operation screen DAA".

[0241] Returning to Figure 13, in SC5, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device causes the terminal-side communication unit 101 to transmit the terminal device identification information registered in SB4 (specifically, user name information and user telephone number information) and the authentication information obtained in SC4 to the switchgear 1 corresponding to the switchgear identification information identified in SC3.

[0242] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 14, in SD1, the switching-side control unit 64 of the target control unit (specifically, the control unit 60 provided on the switching device 1 corresponding to the switching device identification information identified in SC3) determines whether or not the terminal device identification information and authentication information transmitted in SC5 have been received by the second switching-side communication unit 62.

[0243] Then, the opening / closing side control unit 64 of the target control unit waits until it is determined that the terminal device identification information, etc. has been received (SD1, No), and when it is determined that the terminal device identification information, etc. has been received (SD1, Yes), it proceeds to SD2.

[0244] In SD2, the opening / closing side control unit 64 of the target control unit determines whether the first terminal device identification information (specifically, the terminal device identification information first registered in the registration DB65a) is unregistered in the registration DB65a.

[0245] The method for determining whether this first terminal device identification information is unregistered is arbitrary, but in the embodiment, it is determined based on whether the terminal device identification information registered (stored) in the registration DB65a includes the terminal device identification information corresponding to the first terminal device identification information. Here, if the corresponding terminal device identification information is not included, it is determined that the first terminal device identification information is unregistered, and if the corresponding terminal device identification information is included, it is determined that the first terminal device identification information is not unregistered.

[0246] Then, when the opening / closing side control unit 64 of the target control unit determines that the first terminal device identification information is unregistered (SD2, Yes), it activates the first registration process (SD3), and then proceeds to SD1. On the other hand, when it is determined that the first terminal device identification information is not unregistered (SD2, No), it activates the second registration process (SD4), and then proceeds to SD1, and thereafter, the processes of SD1 to SD4 are repeated in the same manner.

[0247] Note that the details of the processing contents of the first registration process (SD3) and the second registration process (SD4) will be described later.

[0248] (Control Process - Details of Control Process - Registration Process - First Registration Process) Next, the first registration process of SD3 in FIG. 14 will be described.

[0249] The first registration process is a process for registering the first terminal device identification information.

[0250] When the first registration process is activated, as shown in FIG. 15, in SE1, the collation unit 64a of the target control unit determines whether the authentication information received at SD1 matches the authentication information stored in the target control unit (specifically, the terminal-side storage unit 108).

[0251] Also, the method for determining whether the above authentication information matches is arbitrary, but in the embodiment, it is determined based on whether the authentication information received at SD1 matches the authentication information stored in the target control unit.

[0252] Here, regarding the details of the "authentication information stored in the target control unit", in the embodiment, regardless of whether the subsequent change process has been executed, the authentication information stored in the target control unit at the time of the SE1 process is used.

[0253] Then, when the collation unit 64a of the target control unit determines that the above authentication information does not match (SE1, No), it proceeds to SE2, and when it determines that the above authentication information matches (SE1, Yes), it proceeds to SE3.

[0254] In SE2, the opening / closing side control unit 64 of the target control unit causes the second opening / closing side communication unit 62 to transmit registration incomplete information indicating that the registration of the terminal device identification information is incomplete to the target terminal device, and then ends the first registration process.

[0255] In SE3, the attribute specifying unit 64e of the target control unit specifies the attribute of the terminal device 100 corresponding to the terminal device identification information received at SD1 as the first attribute. That is, in the embodiment, when the terminal device identification information registered in the registration DB65a does not include the terminal device identification information corresponding to the first terminal device identification information, the attribute of the terminal device 100 corresponding to the terminal device identification information received at SD1 (specifically, the attribute of the terminal device corresponding to the first registered terminal device identification information) is specified as the first attribute.

[0256] In SE4, the registration unit 64b of the target control unit registers the terminal device identification information received by SD1 as first terminal device identification information in registration DB65a, and also registers the first attribute information indicating the first attribute identified by SE3 and the said first terminal device identification information in registration DB65a, relating them to each other.

[0257] For example, if terminal device identification information is not registered in registration DB65a, and the user name information of the terminal device identification information received by SD1 is "AAAA" and the user telephone number information is "09011111111", then this user name information and user telephone number information will be registered in registration DB65a as first terminal device identification information, and the first terminal device identification information and first attribute information will be registered in registration DB65a in association with each other.

[0258] In SE5, the authorization granting unit 64f of the target control unit grants the target terminal device, which is the first terminal device 100a, first authorization information (specifically, first authorization information for executing terminal-side processing related to the switchgear 1 on which the target control unit is installed), which is authorization information corresponding to the first attribute information, and also causes the second switchgear communication unit 62 to transmit registration completion information indicating that the registration of terminal device identification information has been completed to the target terminal device. After that, the switchgear control unit 64 of the target control unit terminates the first registration process.

[0259] Here, the method for granting the first authorization information is optional, but in this embodiment, the first authorization information is granted in the registration DB65a by registering it in association with the first terminal device identification information and first attribute information registered in SE4.

[0260] This first registration process allows for the registration of first terminal device identification information and the assignment of first authorization information to the target terminal device, which is the first terminal device 100a. Based on the first authorization information assigned by the authorization assignment unit 64f, the target terminal device can then perform terminal-side processing.

[0261] (Control process - Details of control process - Registration process - Second registration process) Next, we will explain the second registration process of SD4 in Figure 14.

[0262] The second registration process is for registering the identification information of the second terminal device.

[0263] When the second registration process is initiated, as shown in Figure 16, the matching unit 64a of the target control unit in SF1 determines whether the authentication information received by SD1 matches the authentication information stored in the target control unit (specifically, the terminal-side storage unit 108), in substantially the same manner as the process of SE1.

[0264] Here, regarding the details of "authentication information stored in the target control unit," in this embodiment, if the authentication information stored in the target control unit has not been changed by the change process described later, the first authentication information used for registering the first terminal device identification information is used. Furthermore, if the authentication information stored in the target control unit has been changed by the change process described later, the second authentication information, which has been changed at least once from the first authentication information, is used.

[0265] In other words, in SF1, if the second terminal device identification information and authentication information are received after the first terminal device identification information has been registered, the matching unit 64a of the target control unit will perform a comparison between the authentication information received in SD1 and the first or second authentication information stored in the target control unit.

[0266] Then, the matching unit 64a of the target control unit proceeds to SF2 if it determines that the authentication information does not match (SF1, No), and proceeds to SF3 if it determines that the authentication information does match (SF1, Yes).

[0267] In SF2, the switching-side control unit 64 of the target control unit causes the second switching-side communication unit 62 to transmit the registration incomplete information to the target terminal device, and then terminates the second registration process.

[0268] In SF3, the attribute identification unit 64e of the target control unit identifies the attribute of the terminal device 100 corresponding to the terminal device identification information received at SD1 as the second attribute. That is, in the embodiment, when the first terminal device identification information is included in the terminal device identification information registered in the registration DB65a, the attribute of the terminal device corresponding to the terminal device identification information received at SD1 (specifically, the attribute of the terminal device corresponding to the terminal device identification information other than the first registered terminal device identification information) is identified as the second attribute.

[0269] In SF4, the registration unit 64b of the target control unit registers the terminal device identification information received at SD1 in the registration DB65a as the second terminal device identification information, and registers the second attribute information indicating the second attribute specified in SF3 and the second terminal device identification information in the registration DB65a in association with each other.

[0270] As an example, when the first terminal device identification information is registered in the registration DB65a, and the user name information of the terminal device identification information received at SD1 = "BBBB" and the user phone number information = "08022222222", these user name information and user phone number information are registered in the registration DB65a as the second terminal device identification information, and the second terminal device identification information and the second attribute information are registered in the registration DB65a in association with each other.

[0271] In SF5, the authorization unit 64f of the target control unit grants the second authorization information, which is the authorization information corresponding to the second attribute information (specifically, the second authorization information for executing the terminal-side processing related to the target control unit), to the target terminal device, which is the second terminal device 100b, and causes the registration completion information to be transmitted to the target terminal device by the second opening / closing side communication unit 62. Thereafter, the opening / closing side control unit 64 of the target control unit ends the second registration process.

[0272] Here, the method for granting the second authorization information is optional, but in this embodiment, the second authorization information is granted in the registration DB65a by registering it in association with the second terminal device identification information and second attribute information registered in SE4.

[0273] This second registration process allows for the registration of second terminal device identification information and the granting of second authorization information to the target terminal device, which is the second terminal device 100b. Based on the second authorization information granted by the authorization granting unit 64f, the target terminal device can then execute terminal-side processing.

[0274] Returning to Figure 13, in SC6, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines whether or not the registration completion information transmitted by SE5 or SF5 has been received by the terminal-side communication unit 101.

[0275] Then, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device proceeds to SC7 if the above registration completion information is received (SC6, Yes), and proceeds to SC9 if the above registration completion information is not received (SC6, No).

[0276] In SC7, the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device displays the registration completion information received in SC6 on the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0277] The method for displaying this registration completion information is optional, but in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 17(c), the third registration screen DEc, which displays the registration completion information received by SC6, is displayed on the screen of the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0278] Returning to Figure 13, in SC8, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device generates an operation screen DA corresponding to the switchgear 1 corresponding to the switchgear identification information identified in SC3, based on the switchgear name information and switchgear type information obtained in SC4, and stores the generated operation screen DA in the operation screen table 108a. Subsequently, after a predetermined operation is received via the terminal-side display unit 103 (or after a predetermined time has elapsed), the registration process of the target terminal device is terminated.

[0279] The method for generating the operation screen DA corresponding to this switchgear 1 is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, the operation screen DA is generated according to the type of switchgear 1.

[0280] Specifically, if the switchgear type information acquired by SC4 indicates a retractable switchgear 1, the operation screen DA is a long screen and includes an open / close operation area DAa and a switching operation area DAb, as shown in Figure 9(a).

[0281] Of these, the opening / closing operation area DAa is an area for receiving input for operations related to the opening / closing device 1, and as shown in Figure 9(a), it has a first opening / closing operation area DAa1 and a second opening / closing operation area DAa2.

[0282] Here, the first opening / closing operation area DAa1 is an area for receiving input for opening and closing operations of the opening / closing body 30 of the opening / closing device 1. This first opening / closing operation area DAa1 is displayed with an opening button DA1 for receiving input for an opening operation to move the opening / closing body 30 in an open position, a closing button DA2 for receiving input for a closing operation to move the opening / closing body 30 in a closed position, and a stop button DA3 for receiving input for a stop operation to stop the opening / closing movement of the opening / closing body 30.

[0283] However, this is not limited to the above. For example, in a particular type of opening / closing device 1 (e.g., an automatic door or a hinged door), if there is no need for an opening operation, closing operation, or stopping operation, the first opening / closing operation area DAa1 may have only one or two of the following: an opening button DA1, a closing button DA2, or a stopping button DA3.

[0284] Furthermore, the second switching operation area DAa2 is an area for displaying information related to the switching device 1 and / or for receiving operation inputs for attached devices. This second switching operation area DAa2 is located above (or below) the first switching operation area DAa1 and displays communication status information DA6, which indicates the communication status between the switching device 1 and the target terminal device.

[0285] The details of the communication status information DA6 are optional, but in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 9(a), first communication status information DA7 is displayed indicating that the switchgear 1 and the terminal device 100 (specifically, the target terminal device) are communicating. On the other hand, if the switchgear 1 and the terminal device 100 (specifically, the target terminal device) are not able to communicate, second communication status information (not shown) is displayed indicating that the terminal device 100 should be moved to a position where it can communicate with the switchgear 1.

[0286] However, this is not the only option; for example, the display of either the first communication status information DA7 or the second communication status information may be omitted.

[0287] Furthermore, the switching operation area DAb is an area for receiving input for switching operations to switch the operation screen DA. As shown in Figure 9(a), this switching operation area DAb is positioned on the operation screen DA in a location that does not overlap with the opening / closing operation area DAa, and displays the opening / closing device name information (in Figure 9(a), "Shutter 1") which is stored in association with the operation screen DA in the operation screen table 108a as described later. It also has a switching unit DA4 provided across the entire switching operation area DAb, which receives input for switching operations when either a swipe operation or a flick operation is performed on the switching unit DA4 along either the short side direction of the operation screen DA (left or right direction in Figure 9(a)).

[0288] However, this is not the only option; for example, the switching unit DA4 may be provided only in a portion of the switching operation area DAb. Furthermore, the switching unit DA4 may accept input for switching operations through touch operation.

[0289] Here, "swipe operation" refers to the action of sliding your finger or other object in a specific direction while keeping it in contact with the DA (Digital Access Panel) screen. "Flick operation" refers to the action of quickly moving your fingertip or other object in a flicking motion while it is touching the DA screen.

[0290] Furthermore, while the arrangement of the opening / closing operation area DAa and the switching operation area DAb is arbitrary, in this embodiment, the opening / closing operation area DAa is placed in the center of the operation screen DA, and the switching operation area DAb is placed at either end of the operation screen DA in the longitudinal direction (up and down direction in Figure 9(a)) (in Figure 9(a), it is placed above the opening / closing operation area DAa).

[0291] As a result, compared to the case where the opening / closing operation area DAa is located at the longitudinal end of the operation screen DA and the switching operation area DAb is located in the center of the operation screen DA, the operation of the opening / closing device 1 becomes easier, thereby improving the operability of the opening / closing operation area DAa.

[0292] Furthermore, if the switchgear type information acquired by SC4 indicates an overhead slider type switchgear 1, the operation screen DA, as shown in Figure 9(b), includes an open / close operation area DAa and a switch operation area DAb, similar to the operation screen DA corresponding to the retractable switchgear 1 described above.

[0293] However, the second opening / closing operation area DAa2 of the opening / closing operation area DAa displays communication status information DA6, as well as an attached operation button DA5 that accepts operation input from an attached device (specifically, an attached operation button DA5 that controls the on / off operation of the lighting device).

[0294] This operation screen DA can accept input for operations related to the above-mentioned switchgear 1, and can also accept input for switching operations.

[0295] In particular, compared to the case where the opening / closing operation area DAa and the switching operation area DAb overlap on the operation screen DA, errors in operations and / or switching operations related to the opening / closing device 1 can be suppressed, and the operability of the operation screen DA can be improved. Also, compared to the case where the input of the switching unit DA4 is a touch operation, it is easier to prevent errors in input of switching operations, thus improving the operability of the switching operation area DAb. Furthermore, the display control unit 107a can display opening / closing device identification information that uniquely identifies the opening / closing device 1 corresponding to the target operation screen DAA on the terminal-side display unit 103 when the operation display state is active, and can also display communication status information DA6 that shows the communication status between the opening / closing device 1 corresponding to the target operation screen DAA and the terminal device 100 on the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0296] Furthermore, while the method for storing the operation screen DA in the operation screen table 108a is arbitrary, in this embodiment it is stored as shown below.

[0297] In other words, if priority display information is obtained in SC4, the operation screen DA is stored in the operation screen table 108a in association with the switchgear serial number information identified in SC3, the switchgear name information obtained in SC4, the switchgear type information, and the priority display information. On the other hand, if priority display information is not obtained in SC4, the operation screen DA is stored in the operation screen table 108a in association with the switchgear serial number information identified in SC3, the switchgear name information, and the switchgear type information obtained in SC4.

[0298] Returning to Figure 13, in SC9, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines whether or not the unregistered information transmission sent via SE2 or SF2 has been received by the terminal-side communication unit 101.

[0299] Then, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device transitions to SC10 if the above-mentioned unregistered information transmission is received (SC9, Yes), and transitions to SC6 if the above-mentioned unregistered information transmission is not received (SC9, No).

[0300] In SC10, the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device displays the registration incomplete information received in SC9 on the terminal-side display unit 103, and then terminates the registration process of the target terminal device after a predetermined operation is received via the terminal-side display unit 103 (or after a predetermined time has elapsed).

[0301] The method for displaying this incomplete registration information is optional, but for example, a fourth registration screen (not shown) displaying the incomplete registration information received by SC9 may be displayed on the screen of the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0302] Furthermore, the registration process described above makes it possible to remotely control the switchgear 1 (specifically, the switchgear 1 equipped with the target control unit) using the target terminal device.

[0303] In particular, terminal device identification information can be registered simply by transmitting terminal device identification information and authentication information from terminal device 100 to control unit 60. Therefore, compared to the case where terminal device identification information is registered by manually opening and closing the switch 30 within a certain time after the switch 1 is turned off and on, the effort required for registration can be reduced while ensuring security when registering terminal device identification information, thereby improving the usability of the control system. Furthermore, when registering second terminal device identification information, the second terminal device identification information can be registered simply by transmitting second terminal device identification information and authentication information from second terminal device 100b to control unit 60, thereby reducing the effort required for registration while ensuring security when registering second terminal device identification information.

[0304] Furthermore, the authorization granting unit 64f of the control unit 60 can grant authorization information to the terminal device 100 according to the attributes of the terminal device 100. Therefore, terminal-side processing according to the user needs of the terminal device 100 can be executed via the terminal device 100, improving the usability of the control unit 60. In addition, the attribute identification unit 64e can easily identify the attributes of the terminal device 100, reducing the processing load on the control unit 60. Moreover, first authorization information can be granted to the first terminal device 100a, and second authorization information can be granted to the second terminal device 100b, allowing terminal-side processing according to the user needs of the first terminal device 100a and the second terminal device 100b to be executed via the first terminal device 100a or the second terminal device 100b, respectively.

[0305] In this embodiment, by executing the SA4 process multiple times, terminal device identification information (specifically, first terminal device identification information and / or second terminal device identification information) can be registered to each control unit 60 of the multiple switchgear 1 using the target terminal device. Therefore, it becomes possible to execute terminal-side processing for the multiple switchgear based on the authorization information (specifically, first authorization information and / or second authorization information) granted by the authorization granting unit 64f of each control unit 60 of the multiple switchgear 1.

[0306] (Control process - Details of control process - Operation process) Next, we will explain the operation process of SA6 in Figure 7.

[0307] The operation process is a process for performing operations on the switchgear 1 via the terminal device 100.

[0308] When the operation process is initiated, as shown in Figure 18, the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device (specifically, the first terminal device 100a or the second terminal device 100b) in SG1 displays the target operation screen DAA on the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0309] The method of displaying this target operation screen DAA is optional, but in this embodiment, it will be displayed as follows depending on the situation.

[0310] In other words, if only one operation screen DA is stored in the operation screen table 108a, that operation screen DA will be displayed as the target operation screen DAA.

[0311] In this case, as shown in Figure 9(a), the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device displays switchgear identification information that uniquely identifies the switchgear 1 corresponding to the target operation screen DAA on the terminal-side display unit 103 (specifically, the switching operation area DAb) when in operation display state, and also displays communication status information DA6 that shows the communication status between the switchgear 1 corresponding to the target operation screen DAA and the target terminal device on the terminal-side display unit 103 (specifically, the second switching operation area DAa2).

[0312] This allows the user of the terminal device 100 to visually confirm the switchgear identification information in the operation display state, enabling the user of the terminal device 100 to accurately operate the switchgear 1 they wish to operate. Furthermore, in the operation display state, the user of the terminal device 100 can visually confirm the communication status information DA6, enabling the user of the terminal device 100 to take appropriate measures according to the communication status (for example, moving the terminal device 100 to a location where communication is possible if the switchgear 1 and the terminal device 100 are unable to communicate).

[0313] Furthermore, if multiple operation screen DAs are stored in the operation screen table 108a, and one of the operation screen DAs is one that is stored in association with priority display information, then that operation screen DA will be displayed as the target operation screen DAA (that is, when the display timing for displaying the target operation screen DAA arrives (specifically, the timing during processing of SG1), the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device will display the operation screen DA identified by the operation screen identification unit 107b as the target operation screen DAA with priority on the terminal-side display unit 103).

[0314] This display allows for quick operation of the switchgear 1 corresponding to the operation screen DA identified by the operation screen identification unit 107b, enabling the user of the terminal device 100 to quickly operate the switchgear 1 they wish to operate.

[0315] In this embodiment, even if the priority display information is stored in the operation screen table 108a multiple times by SC8 when the SA4 process is executed multiple times, only the most recently stored priority display information will be stored in the operation screen table 108a.

[0316] For example, if the operation screen DA = "PIC0001.JPG" and the priority display information are associated and stored in the operation screen table 108a, then if SC8 associates the operation screen DA = "PIC0002.JPG" with the priority display information and stores it in the operation screen table 108a, then the operation screen DA = "PIC0001.JPG" and the priority display information will no longer be associated and stored in the operation screen table 108a.

[0317] On the other hand, if multiple operation screen DAs are stored in the operation screen table 108a, and none of the operation screen DAs stored in association with priority display information are included, the most recently stored operation screen DA among those multiple operation screen DAs (or the first stored operation screen DA, or a randomly selected operation screen DA) will be displayed as the target operation screen DAA.

[0318] Furthermore, when multiple operation screens DA are stored in the terminal-side storage unit 108, and the switching unit DA4 receives input for a switching operation in the operation display state, the target operation screen DAA is switched to another operation screen DA, and the switched operation screen DA is displayed on the terminal-side display unit 103 as the target operation screen DAA.

[0319] In this case, the method for switching between operation screens DA is arbitrary, but for example, multiple operation screens DA may be switched based on the order stored in the operation screen table 108a, or on a random order.

[0320] This display allows the user to switch between target operation screens DAA and other target operation screens DAA simply by performing a switching operation while in operation display mode. Therefore, compared to operating the switchgear 1 via the operation screen DA for operating the switchgear 1 candidate after the selection operation is accepted on the selection screen for selecting the switchgear 1 to be operated, this reduces the effort required to switch from one target operation screen DAA to another, and allows for quick operation of the desired switchgear 1, thereby improving the operability of the terminal device 100.

[0321] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 9, although an operation screen DA is generated according to the type of switch 1, the configuration of the operation screen DA is similar. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the switching unit DA4 receives input for a switching operation and switches the target operation screen DAA to another operation screen DA, the display of the first switch operation area DAa1 of the target operation screen DAA is maintained without switching the first switch operation area DAa1 of the target operation screen DAA, the second switch operation area DAa2 of the target operation screen DAA is switched to the second switch operation area DAa2 of the other operation screen DA and displayed, and the switching operation area DAb of the target operation screen DAA is switched to the switching operation area DAb of the other operation screen DA and displayed.

[0322] However, this is not limited to this; for example, when the switching unit DA4 receives input for a switching operation and switches the target operation screen DAA to another operation screen DA, the entire target operation screen DAA may be switched to the other operation screen DA and displayed.

[0323] Returning to Figure 18, in SG2, the transmission control unit 107c of the target terminal device determines whether or not the input of the first operation has been received via the open button DA1 or the close button DA2 of the target operation screen DAA while the operation display state is active.

[0324] Here, "acceptance of input for the first operation" in this embodiment refers to the acceptance of touch input to the open button DA1 or the close button DA2. However, it is not limited to this, and for example, it may also refer to the acceptance of swipe or flick input to the open button DA1 or the close button DA2.

[0325] Then, the transmission control unit 107c of the target terminal device transitions to SG3 if the input for the first operation is received (SG2, Yes), and transitions to SG5 if the input for the first operation is not received (SG2, No).

[0326] In SG3, the first notification unit 107d of the target terminal device broadcasts the first notification information.

[0327] The method for notifying this first notification information is optional, but in this embodiment, the notification is made by lighting up the open button DA1 or the close button DA2, which received the input for the first operation, in SG2 between the start of processing in SG3 and the start of processing in SG4. However, this is not limited to this, and for example, the first notification information may be output as audio by the terminal-side audio output unit 104, or / or as vibration by the terminal-side vibration unit 105.

[0328] This allows the first notification information to be broadcast, making it possible to understand that the user of the terminal device 100 is in an input-ready state.

[0329] In SG4, the transmission control unit 107c of the target terminal device determines whether or not input for the second operation has been received via the terminal-side display unit 103 (specifically, the target operation screen DAA) while the operation display state is active.

[0330] Here, "acceptance of input for a second operation" in this embodiment means that either a swipe operation or a flick operation in a predetermined direction is accepted from the open button DA1 or the close button DA2 (i.e., that input for an operation different from the first operation is accepted).

[0331] However, this is not limited to this; for example, input of the same operation as the first operation may also be accepted. For example, input of a touch operation on the open button DA1 or the close button DA2 may be accepted.

[0332] Then, the transmission control unit 107c of the target terminal device transitions to SG6 if the input for the second operation described above is received (SG4, Yes), and transitions to SG8 if the input for the second operation described above is not received (SG4, No).

[0333] By performing the processing of SG2 and SG4 in this manner, it is possible to prevent the processing of SG6 from being performed incorrectly. Furthermore, compared to cases where the first and second operations are the same operation, it is possible to prevent the input of either the first or second operation from being incorrectly accepted. In addition, since the second operation is a swipe or flick operation in a predetermined direction from the open button DA1 or the close button DA2, it is relatively easy to prevent the input of the second operation from being incorrectly accepted. As a result of the above, the usability of the terminal device 100 can be further improved.

[0334] In SG5, the transmission control unit 107c of the target terminal device determines whether or not the input of the first operation has been received via the stop button DA3 or the attached operation button DA5 of the target operation screen DAA while the operation display state is active.

[0335] Here, "acceptance of input for the first operation" in this embodiment refers to the acceptance of a touch operation input to the stop button DA3 or the attached operation button DA5. However, it is not limited to this, and for example, it may also refer to the acceptance of a swipe operation or a flick operation input to the stop button DA3 or the attached operation button DA5.

[0336] This makes it possible to accept input for the first operation described above in a simple and rapid manner, further improving the usability of the terminal device 100.

[0337] Then, the transmission control unit 107c of the target terminal device transitions to SG6 if the input for the first operation is received (SG5, Yes), and transitions to SG2 if the input for the first operation is not received (SG5, No).

[0338] In SG6, the transmission control unit 107c of the target terminal device causes the terminal-side communication unit 101 to transmit operation instruction information (hereinafter referred to as "first operation instruction information"), which includes terminal device identification information (specifically, user name information) registered in SB4, to the switchgear 1 (specifically, the switchgear 1 corresponding to the target operation screen DAA displayed in SG1).

[0339] The method for transmitting this first operation instruction information is optional, but in this embodiment, it is transmitted as follows.

[0340] In other words, when the input for the first operation is received by SG2 and the input for the second operation is received by SG4, the operation corresponding to the open button DA1 or close button DA2 for which the input for the first operation was received (specifically, the operation to open or close the switch / switch body 30) is transmitted as an open / close operation instruction. That is, when the transmission control unit 107c of the target terminal device receives the input for the first operation via at least one of the open button DA1 or close button DA2 and the input for the second operation via the operation screen DA, it considers that an input for an open or close operation (an input for an operation related to the switch / switch device 1) has been received, and causes the terminal-side communication unit 101 to transmit the first operation instruction information corresponding to the input for the open or close operation to the switch / switch device 1.

[0341] This type of transmission prevents the incorrect acceptance of inputs related to the switchgear 1 compared to the case where operation signals are transmitted only when inputs for opening and closing operations of the switchgear 1 are received via operation buttons on the operation screen DA, thereby improving the usability of the terminal device 100. Furthermore, it prevents the incorrect acceptance of inputs for opening or closing operations, further improving the usability of the terminal device 100.

[0342] Furthermore, when the input of the first operation is received by SG5, the device transmits switch operation instruction information or attached operation instruction information indicating the operation corresponding to the stop button DA3 or attached operation button DA5 for which the input of the first operation was received (specifically, the operation to stop the switch 30 or the operation to turn the lighting device on or off). In other words, when the input of the first operation is received via the stop button DA3, the transmission control unit 107c of the target terminal device considers that the input of a stop operation has been received, regardless of whether the input of the second operation was received via the operation screen DA, and causes the terminal-side communication unit 101 to transmit the first operation instruction information corresponding to the stop operation to the switch 1.

[0343] This type of transmission allows for the rapid acceptance of stop operation inputs compared to open or close operation inputs. Therefore, the opening and closing movement of the opening / closing body 30 can be stopped quickly, ensuring safety when operating the opening / closing device 1 using the terminal device 100.

[0344] In SG7, the second notification unit 107e of the target terminal device broadcasts the second notification information, and then proceeds to SG10.

[0345] The method for notifying this second notification information is arbitrary, but for example, the second notification information may be displayed on the terminal-side display unit 103, the second notification information may be output as sound on the terminal-side audio output unit 104, and / or the second notification information may be output as vibration on the terminal-side vibration unit 105.

[0346] This allows the second notification information to be transmitted, and enables the user of the terminal device 100 to understand that the first operation instruction information has been sent.

[0347] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 19, in SH1, the switching-side control unit 64 of the target control unit (specifically, the control unit 60 provided in the switching device 1 corresponding to the target operation screen DAA displayed in SG1) determines, by the second switching-side communication unit 62, whether or not the first operation instruction information (specifically, switching operation instruction information or supplementary operation instruction information) transmitted from the target terminal device in SG6 has been received.

[0348] Then, the opening / closing control unit 64 of the target control unit transitions to SH2 if it determines that the first operation instruction information has not been received (SH1, No), and transitions to SH3 if it determines that the first operation instruction information has been received (SH1, Yes).

[0349] In SH2, the switching-side control unit 64 of the target control unit determines whether or not the operation instruction information (specifically, switching operation instruction information; hereinafter referred to as "second operation instruction information") transmitted from the operation unit 51 has been received by the first switching-side communication unit 61.

[0350] Then, the opening / closing control unit 64 of the target control unit transitions to SH1 if it determines that the second operation instruction information has not been received (SH2, No), and transitions to SH3 if it determines that the second operation instruction information has been received (SH2, Yes).

[0351] In SH3, the switching-side control unit 64 of the target control unit executes operation control of the switchgear 1 on which the target control unit is installed or the auxiliary equipment attached to the switchgear 1 (specifically, the lighting device) based on the first operation instruction information received in SH1 or the second operation instruction information received in SH2. Then it transitions to SH1, and the process from SH1 to SH3 is repeated in the same manner thereafter.

[0352] Here, the content of the operation control of the opening / closing device 1 is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, it is performed as follows.

[0353] Specifically, if the first operation instruction information received by SH1 or the second operation instruction information received by SH2 is an open operation instruction, the open / close body 30 of the switchgear 1 is moved to the open position. If the first operation instruction information received by SH1 or the second operation instruction information received by SH2 is a close operation instruction, the open / close body 30 of the switchgear 1 is moved to the close position. If the first operation instruction information received by SH1 or the second operation instruction information received by SH2 is a stop operation instruction, the opening and closing movement of the open / close body 30 of the switchgear 1 is stopped.

[0354] Furthermore, while the content of the operation control for the above-mentioned auxiliary devices is arbitrary, in this embodiment it is performed as follows.

[0355] In other words, if the first operation instruction information received by SH1 is an operation instruction information for turning on the device, the above-mentioned auxiliary device will be turned on. Also, if the first operation instruction information received by SH1 is an operation instruction information for turning off the device, the above-mentioned auxiliary device will be turned off.

[0356] In this embodiment, during the processing of SH3, operation history information (specifically, operation date and time information, terminal device identification information (specifically, terminal device identification information included in the first operation instruction information received by SH1), and switchgear operation information) indicating the history of operations performed by the switching-side control unit 64 using the terminal device 100, is sequentially stored in the operation history DB 65b.

[0357] Here, the method for storing operation history information in operation history DB65b is arbitrary, but for example, operation history information may be stored sequentially until the number of operation history information entries reaches a threshold (e.g., 100 entries), and once the number of operation history information entries reaches the threshold, the operation history information may be stored by sequentially overwriting the oldest operation history information.

[0358] Returning to Figure 18, if SG4 determines that the input for the second operation has not been received, SG8 determines whether a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed since the processing of SG2 was completed.

[0359] Then, the first notification unit 107d of the target terminal device switches to SG3 if the predetermined time has not elapsed (SG8, No), and switches to SG9 if the predetermined time has elapsed (SG8, Yes).

[0360] In SG9, the first notification unit 107d of the target terminal device stops broadcasting the first notification information and then proceeds to SG1. Specifically, this is stopped by turning off the open button DA1 or the close button DA2, which received the input for the first operation in SG2.

[0361] Through the processing of SG3, SG4, SG8, ​​and SG9, the first notification unit 107d can display the first notification information on the terminal-side display unit 103 for a predetermined period of time after the input of the first operation is received, and hide the first notification information after the predetermined period of time has elapsed. Therefore, the first notification information can be visually confirmed, making it easier for the user of the terminal device 100 to understand that it is in an input-ready state. In addition, by displaying and hiding the first notification information, it is possible to understand whether or not it is in an input-ready state, and the user of the terminal device 100 can take appropriate measures (for example, re-entering the first and second operations if it is not in an input-ready state).

[0362] Furthermore, through the processing of SG4, SG6, SG8, ​​and SG9, the transmission control unit 107c can determine if an input for a second operation related to the switchgear 1 has been received if the input for the second operation is received within a predetermined time after the input for the first operation has been received, and can cause the terminal-side communication unit 101 to transmit the first operation instruction information to the switchgear 1. If the input for the second operation is not received within a predetermined time after the input for the first operation has been received, the transmission control unit 107c can determine if an input for an operation related to the switchgear 1 has been received, and can prevent the terminal-side communication unit 101 from transmitting the first operation instruction information to the switchgear 1. Therefore, compared to the case where an input for the second operation is received without limit after the input for the first operation has been received, it is possible to prevent the input for an operation related to the switchgear 1 from being received incorrectly, and the usability of the terminal device 100 can be further improved.

[0363] In SG10, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines whether or not the timing for ending the operation process (hereinafter referred to as the "operation termination timing") has arrived.

[0364] The method for determining whether or not the operation completion timing has arrived is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, it is determined based on whether or not the selection button DB1 of the attached screen DB has been operated in the operation display state. Here, if an operation input for the selection button DB1 is received, it is determined that the operation completion timing has arrived, and if an operation input for the selection button DB1 is not received, it is determined that the operation completion timing has not arrived.

[0365] Then, if the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines that the operation completion timing has arrived (SG10, Yes), it terminates the operation processing of the target terminal device. On the other hand, if it determines that the operation completion timing has not arrived (SG10, No), it proceeds to SG1, and thereafter repeats the processing from SG1 to SG10 in the same manner.

[0366] Through the above-described operation process, remote operation of the switchgear 1 and / or its auxiliary equipment using the terminal device 100 can be performed easily and accurately.

[0367] (Control Processing - Details of Control Processing - Open / Close Change Processing) Next, we will explain the opening / closing change process for SA8 in Figure 7.

[0368] The opening / closing change process is a process for changing the information stored in the operation screen table 108a via the terminal device 100.

[0369] When the opening / closing change process is activated, as shown in Figure 20, the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device (specifically, the first terminal device 100a or the second terminal device 100b) in SI1 displays the opening / closing device identification information (specifically, the opening / closing device name information) stored in the operation screen table 108a on the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0370] The method for displaying this switchgear identification information is optional, but in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 21(a), the first switch change screen DFa, which displays the switchgear name information stored in the operation screen table 108a, is displayed on the screen of the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0371] Specifically, in the long first opening / closing change screen DFa, multiple opening / closing device name information (such as "Shutter 1", "Shutter 2", "Shutter 3", "Shutter 4", "Shutter 5", etc. in Figure 21) is displayed side by side along the longitudinal direction of the first opening / closing change screen DFa. Note that, for example, if only one opening / closing device name information is obtained, that opening / closing device name information may simply be displayed.

[0372] In this embodiment, the first open / close change screen DFa is displayed with open / close change selection buttons DFa1 provided at positions corresponding to the displayed open / close device identification information, and includes an open / close change selection button DFa1 for selecting the corresponding open / close device identification information and an open / close change return button DFa2 for returning to the processing selection screen DC.

[0373] Returning to Figure 20, in SI2, the switchgear identification unit 107f of the target terminal device identifies the switchgear identification information to be changed from the switchgear identification information (specifically, the switchgear name information) displayed in SI1.

[0374] Here, the method for identifying the switchgear identification information to be changed is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 21(a), it is identified by receiving an operation input (for example, a touch operation input) of the switchgear selection button DFa1 that corresponds to the switchgear identification information to be changed, among the switchgear selection buttons DFa1 displayed on the first switchgear change screen DFa.

[0375] Returning to Figure 20, in SI3, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device acquires various change information.

[0376] Here, the method for obtaining the various change information described above is optional, but in this embodiment, it is obtained as follows.

[0377] First, as shown in Figure 21(b), the second open / close change screen DFb is displayed on the screen of the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0378] This second opening / closing change screen DFb is displayed with the following features: a change switch name input box DFb1 for inputting change switch name information, a change switch type selection checkbox DFb2 for selecting change switch type information, a change priority display checkbox DFb3 for prioritizing the display of the operation screen DA, an opening / closing change confirmation button DFb4 for confirming the information entered on the second opening / closing change screen DFb, a first opening / closing change return button DFb5 for returning to the first opening / closing change screen DFa, and a second opening / closing change return button DFb6 for returning to the processing selection screen DC.

[0379] Then, when the name information of the switch to be changed is entered into the switch name input box DFb1, and the checkbox DFb2 for selecting a specific switch type to be changed is checked via the terminal-side display unit 103, and / or the checkbox DFb3 for displaying change priority is checked, and an operation input (for example, a touch operation input) is received for the switch change confirmation button DFb4, the third switch change screen DFc is displayed as shown in Figure 21(c).

[0380] This third open / close change screen DFc displays the information entered above, and also includes an open / close change confirmation button DFc1 for confirming the entered information and an open / close change cancellation button DFc2 for canceling the entered information.

[0381] Then, when an operation input (for example, a touch operation input) is received from the confirmation button DFc1 for opening / closing the third opening / closing change screen DFc, it is acquired.

[0382] On the other hand, if an operation input (for example, a touch operation) is received for the cancel button DFc2 on the third open / close change screen DFc, the system will return to the second open / close change screen DFb, allowing for the re-entry of various information into the second open / close change screen DFb.

[0383] In this embodiment, when the second opening / closing change screen DFb is displayed, the opening / closing device name input box DFb1, the opening / closing device type selection check box DFb2, and the change priority display check box DFb3 are populated with information corresponding to the opening / closing device identification information identified in SI2 from the information stored in the operation screen table 108a. However, this is not limited to this, and for example, no information may be entered in the opening / closing device name input box DFb1, the opening / closing device type selection check box DFb2, and the change priority display check box DFb3.

[0384] Returning to Figure 20, in SI4, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device changes the switchgear name information, switchgear type information, priority display information, and / or the operation screen DA stored in the operation screen table 108a based on the information acquired in SI3.

[0385] Here, the method for changing the switchgear name information is optional, but in this embodiment, the change is made by replacing the switchgear name information corresponding to the switchgear identification information identified in SI2, among the switchgear name information stored in the operation screen table 108a, with the change switchgear name information entered in the change switchgear name input box DFb1 in SI3 (the method for changing the switchgear type information and priority display information is substantially the same). However, this is not limited to this, and if the switchgear name information stored in the operation screen table 108a matches the change switchgear name information, it does not need to be changed.

[0386] Furthermore, although the method for changing the operation screen DA is optional, in this embodiment, if the switchgear type information is changed in SI4, the operation screen DA corresponding to the switchgear identification information identified in SI2 is changed from among the operation screen DAs stored in the operation screen table 108a, according to the type of switchgear 1 indicated by the changed switchgear type information, using the same method as the operation screen DA generation method of SC8.

[0387] In SI5, the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device displays open / close change completion information on the terminal-side display unit 103, indicating that the change to the information stored in the operation screen table 108a has been completed, and then terminates the open / close change process.

[0388] The method for displaying the opening / closing completion information is optional, but in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 21(d), the fourth opening / closing change screen DFd, which displays the opening / closing completion information, is displayed on the screen of the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0389] This opening / closing change process allows the terminal device 100 to easily change the information stored in the operation screen table 108a.

[0390] (Control process - Details of control process - Handover process) Next, we will explain the handover process for SA10 in Figure 7.

[0391] The handover process is a process for transferring the first attribute information registered by the registration unit 64b.

[0392] When the handover process is initiated, as shown in Figure 22, the switchgear identification unit 107f of the target terminal device (specifically, the first terminal device 100a, which is the source of the first attribute information handover) in SJ1 identifies the switchgear 1 that is equipped with a control unit 60 capable of performing the handover of the first attribute information.

[0393] The method for identifying the switchgear 1 is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, the information registered in the registration DB 65a received from the control unit 60 located within the communication range of the switchgear 1 to the target terminal device is referenced to extract from the switchgear 1 the switchgear 1 in which the terminal device identification information of the target terminal device is registered as first terminal device identification information in association with first authority information, and the extracted switchgear 1 is identified as the switchgear 1 to be identified. In other words, the switchgear identification unit 107f of the target terminal device identifies a switchgear 1 capable of transferring first attribute information from among the switchgear 1 located within the communication range of the target terminal device, based on the first authority information assigned to the target terminal device.

[0394] In SJ2, the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device displays only the switchgear identification information (specifically, the switchgear name information) that uniquely identifies the switchgear 1 identified in SJ1 on the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0395] The method of displaying this switchgear identification information is optional, but in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 24(a), the terminal-side display unit 103 displays a first handover screen DGa on the screen, which displays the switchgear name information obtained from the switchgear 1 (specifically, the control unit 60) identified by SJ1.

[0396] Specifically, in the long first handover screen DGa, multiple opening / closing device name information (such as "Shutter 1", "Shutter 2", "Shutter 3", "Shutter 4", "Shutter 5", etc. in Figure 24(a)) is displayed side by side along the longitudinal direction of the first handover screen DGa.

[0397] For example, if only one switchgear name is obtained, that switchgear name may simply be displayed.

[0398] Furthermore, for example, in the processing of SJ1, if a switch 1 cannot be identified from among the switch 1 located within the communication range of the target terminal device, because the terminal device identification information of the target terminal device is registered as the first terminal device identification information in association with the first authority information, then the transfer process may be terminated after displaying information to that effect on the first transfer screen DGa. In other words, if the authority information granted to the target terminal device does not include transfer authority information, the target terminal device will not be able to transfer the first attribute information.

[0399] In this embodiment, the first handover screen DGa is displayed with handover selection buttons DGa1 provided at positions corresponding to the displayed switchgear identification information, and includes a handover selection button DGa1 for selecting the corresponding switchgear identification information and a handover return button DGa2 for returning to the processing selection screen DC.

[0400] Returning to Figure 22, in SJ3, the switchgear identification unit 107f of the target terminal device identifies the switchgear identification information corresponding to the switchgear 1 that is subject to the transfer of the first attribute information from among the switchgear identification information (specifically, switchgear name information) displayed in SJ2.

[0401] Here, the method for identifying the corresponding switchgear identification information is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, it is identified by receiving an operation input (for example, a touch operation input, etc.) of the transfer selection button DGa1 that corresponds to the corresponding switchgear identification information, among the transfer selection buttons DGa1 displayed on the first transfer screen DGa.

[0402] In SJ4, the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device displays only the second terminal device identification information (specifically, user name information and user telephone number information) registered in the switchgear 1 (specifically, the registration DB 65a of the control unit 60) corresponding to the switchgear identification information identified in SJ3 on the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0403] The method for displaying this second terminal device identification information is optional, but in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 24(b), the terminal-side display unit 103 displays a second handover screen DGb on its screen, which is the user name information and user telephone number information provided by the switchgear 1 (specifically, the identification provision unit 64d of the control unit 60) corresponding to the switchgear identification information identified in SJ3, and which has been registered as the second terminal device identification information, and displays the acquired user name information and user telephone number information.

[0404] Specifically, in the long second handover screen DGb, multiple sets of user name information and user telephone number information (such as "BBBB, 08022222222", "CCCC, 08033333333", etc. in Figure 24(b)) are displayed side by side along the longitudinal direction of the second handover screen DGb. If, for example, only one set of acquired user name information and user telephone number information is available, that information may simply be displayed.

[0405] However, this is not limited to this; for example, on the second handover screen DGb, only one of either the user name information or the user telephone number information obtained from the switchgear 1 corresponding to the switchgear identification information identified in SJ3 may be displayed.

[0406] This display allows the second terminal device identification information to be provided and displayed only to the first terminal device 100a, enabling the user of the target terminal device (specifically, the first terminal device 100a) to understand the registration status of the second terminal device identification information.

[0407] Furthermore, for example, if the second terminal device identification information is not registered in the switchgear 1 corresponding to the switchgear identification information identified in SJ3, and therefore the user name information and user telephone number information cannot be obtained from the switchgear 1, information indicating that the user name information and user telephone number information cannot be displayed may be displayed on the second handover screen DGb, and then the system may proceed to SJ2.

[0408] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 24(b), the second handover screen DGb is displayed with a handover selection checkbox DGb1 provided at a position corresponding to the displayed second terminal device identification information, the handover selection checkbox DGb1 for selecting the corresponding second terminal device identification information, a handover confirmation button DGb2 for confirming the selection of the second terminal device identification information by the handover selection checkbox DGb1, a first handover return button DGb3 for returning to the first handover screen DGa, and a second handover return button DGb4 for returning to the processing selection screen DC.

[0409] Returning to Figure 22, in SJ5, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device identifies the second terminal device identification information corresponding to the second terminal device 100b, which will be the recipient of the first attribute information, from the switchgear identification information (specifically, user name information and user telephone number information) displayed in SJ4.

[0410] Here, the method for identifying the corresponding second terminal device identification information is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, it is identified as follows.

[0411] Specifically, when the transfer selection checkbox DGb1 corresponding to the second terminal device identification information is checked on the second transfer screen DGb, and an input (for example, a touch operation) is received for the transfer confirmation button DGb2, the third transfer screen DGc is displayed as shown in Figure 24(c).

[0412] This third handover screen DGc displays the information entered above, and also includes a handover confirmation button DGc1 for confirming the entered information and a handover cancel button DGc2 for canceling the entered information.

[0413] Then, the user is identified when an input (for example, a touch input) is received from the transfer confirmation button DGc1 on the third transfer screen DGc.

[0414] On the other hand, if the cancel button DGc2 for the transfer on the third transfer screen DGc is accepted (for example, by touch input), the system will return to the second transfer screen DGb, allowing the user to re-enter various information on the second transfer screen DGb.

[0415] Returning to Figure 22, in SJ6, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device has the terminal-side communication unit 101 transmit the transfer instruction information, which includes the second terminal device identification information identified in SJ5 and instructs the transfer of the first attribute information, to the switchgear 1 corresponding to the switchgear identification information identified in SJ3.

[0416] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 23, in SK1, the switching-side control unit 64 of the target control unit (specifically, the control unit 60 provided in the switching device 1 corresponding to the switching device identification information identified in SJ3) determines whether or not the handover instruction information transmitted in SJ6 has been received by the second switching-side communication unit 62.

[0417] Then, the on / off control unit 64 of the target control unit waits until it is determined that the above-mentioned handover instruction information has been received (SK1, No), and when it is determined that the above-mentioned handover instruction information has been received (SK1, Yes), it proceeds to SK2.

[0418] In SK2, the registration unit 64b of the target control unit modifies the attribute information registered by the registration unit 64b based on the second terminal device identification information included in the handover instruction information received in SK1.

[0419] The method for changing this attribute information is optional, but in this embodiment, the first attribute information among the attribute information registered in the registration DB65a is changed to the second attribute information, and the attribute information in the terminal device identification information included in the handover instruction information that corresponds to the terminal device identification information of the terminal device 100 which is the recipient of the first attribute information (specifically, the second terminal device identification information) is changed to the first attribute information.

[0420] Specifically, in addition to changing the attribute information as described above, the terminal device identification information (specifically, the first terminal device identification information) of the terminal device 100 that is the source of the transfer is re-registered in the registration DB65a as the second terminal device identification information, and the authorization information (specifically, the first authorization information) of the terminal device 100 that is the source of the transfer is re-registered in the registration DB65a as the second authorization information. Furthermore, the terminal device identification information (specifically, the second terminal device identification information) of the terminal device 100 that is the recipient of the transfer is re-registered in the registration DB65a as the first terminal device identification information, and the authorization information (specifically, the second authorization information) of the recipient terminal device 100 is re-registered in the registration DB65a as the first authorization information.

[0421] For example, if the first terminal device identification information of the first terminal device 100a, which is the source of the first attribute information transfer, has user name information = AAAA and user telephone number information = "09011111111", and the second terminal device identification information of the second terminal device 100b, which is the recipient of the first attribute information transfer, has user name information = BBBB and user telephone number information = "08022222222", then the attribute information registered in association with the first terminal device identification information of the first terminal device 100a will be changed from first attribute information to second attribute information, the authority information registered in association with the first terminal device identification information of the first terminal device 100a will be changed from first authority information to second authority information, and the user name information = AAAA and user telephone number information = "09011111111" of the first terminal device identification information will be re-registered in the registration DB65a as second terminal device identification information. Furthermore, the attribute information registered in association with the second terminal device identification information of the second terminal device 100b is changed from second attribute information to first attribute information, the authorization information registered in association with the second terminal device identification information of the second terminal device 100b is changed from second authorization information to first authorization information, and the user name information = BBBB and user telephone number information = "08022222222" of the second terminal device identification information are re-registered in the registration DB 65a as first terminal device identification information.

[0422] In SK3, the switching-side control unit 64 of the target control unit causes the second switching-side communication unit 62 to send transfer completion information indicating that the transfer of the first attribute information has been completed to the target terminal device (specifically, the terminal device 100 from which the first attribute information was transferred). The process then proceeds to SK1, and the processing from SK1 to SK3 is repeated in the same manner thereafter.

[0423] For example, the opening / closing control unit 64 of the target control unit may also transmit transfer completion information to the terminal device 100, which is the recipient of the first attribute information, so that the terminal device 100 can display the transfer completion information.

[0424] Returning to Figure 22, in SJ7, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines whether or not the handover completion information transmitted in SK3 by the terminal-side communication unit 101 has been received.

[0425] Then, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device waits until it is determined that the above-mentioned handover completion information has been received (SJ7, No), and when it is determined that the above-mentioned handover completion information has been received (SJ7, Yes), it proceeds to SJ8.

[0426] In SJ8, the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device displays the handover completion information received in SJ7 on the terminal-side display unit 103, and then terminates the handover process of the target terminal device.

[0427] The method for displaying this handover completion information is optional, but in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 24(d), the fourth handover screen DGd, which displays the handover completion information received by SJ8, is displayed on the screen of the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0428] This handover process allows the first attribute information to be transferred using the first terminal device 100a (that is, the first terminal device 100a can execute the handover process based on the handover authority information included in the first authority information granted by the authority granting unit 64f), making it possible for the user of the first terminal device 100a to easily transfer the first attribute information at a time convenient for them.

[0429] (Control Processing - Details of Control Processing - First Deletion Processing) Next, we will explain the first deletion process of SA12 in Figure 7.

[0430] The first deletion process is a process that uses the first terminal device 100a to delete the terminal device identification information corresponding to the second terminal device 100b (i.e., the second terminal device identification information) from the terminal device identification information registered by the registration unit 64b.

[0431] When the first deletion process is initiated, as shown in Figure 25, the switchgear identification unit 107f of the target terminal device (specifically, the first terminal device 100a) in SL1 identifies the switchgear 1 which is equipped with a control unit 60 capable of deleting the second terminal device identification information.

[0432] The method for identifying the switchgear 1 is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, information received from a switchgear 1 (specifically, a control unit 60) located within the communication range of the target terminal device is referenced to information registered in the registration DB 65a, and a switchgear 1 in which the terminal device identification information of the target terminal device is registered in association with authorization information (specifically, first authorization information, second authorization information) is extracted from among the switchgear 1, and the extracted switchgear 1 is identified as the switchgear 1 to be identified. In other words, the switchgear identification unit 107f of the target terminal device identifies a switchgear 1 from among the switchgear 1 located within the communication range of the target terminal device, based on the authorization information granted to the target terminal device, from which the terminal device identification information can be deleted.

[0433] In SL2, the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device displays only the switchgear identification information (specifically, the switchgear name information) that uniquely identifies the switchgear 1 identified in SL1 on the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0434] The method for displaying this switchgear identification information is optional, but in this embodiment, similar to the method for displaying the switchgear identification information of SJ2, a first delete / open / close selection screen DHa is displayed on the screen of the terminal-side display unit 103, as shown in Figure 27(a), which displays the switchgear name information obtained from the switchgear 1 (specifically, the control unit 60) identified by SL1.

[0435] In this embodiment, the first delete / open / close selection screen DHa is displayed with first delete / open / close selection buttons DHa1 provided at positions corresponding to the displayed switchgear identification information, each having a first delete / open / close selection button DHa1 for selecting the corresponding switchgear identification information and a delete return button DHa2 for returning to the processing selection screen DC. Furthermore, the first delete / open / close selection screen DHa displays first terminal device registration information (information indicated by the "◎" mark in Figure 27(a)) indicating that the terminal device identification information of the target terminal device is registered as first terminal device identification information, based on information received from the switchgear 1 (specifically, the control unit 60) that can communicate with the target terminal device, and by referring to information registered in the registration DB 65a, at a position corresponding to the switchgear identification information of the switchgear 1 for which the registration has been made.

[0436] Returning to Figure 25, in SL3, the switchgear identification unit 107f of the target terminal device identifies the switchgear identification information corresponding to the switchgear 1 to be deleted from the switchgear identification information (specifically, switchgear name information) displayed in SL2.

[0437] Here, the method for identifying the corresponding open / close device identification information is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, it is identified by receiving an operation input (for example, a touch operation input, etc.) of the first delete open / close selection button DHa1 that corresponds to the open / close device identification information located at the position corresponding to the first terminal device registration information, among the first delete open / close selection buttons DHa1 displayed on the first delete open / close selection screen DHa.

[0438] Furthermore, if an operation input is received for the first deletion open / close selection button DHa1, which corresponds to the open / close device identification information located in a position not corresponding to the first terminal device registration information, the terminal device identification information and second attribute information of the target terminal device, which are registered as the second terminal device identification information in the open / close device 1 (specifically, the control unit 60) corresponding to the said open / close device identification information, will be deleted, as will be explained in the second deletion process described later.

[0439] In SL4, the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device displays only the second terminal device identification information (specifically, user name information and user telephone number information) registered in the switchgear 1 (specifically, the registration DB 65a of the control unit 60) corresponding to the switchgear identification information identified in SL3 on the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0440] The method for displaying this second terminal device identification information is optional, but in this embodiment, similar to the method for displaying the second terminal device identification information of SJ4, as shown in Figure 27(b), the terminal-side display unit 103 displays a first deletion terminal selection screen DHb on the screen, which displays user name information and user telephone number information obtained from the switchgear 1 (specifically, the control unit 60) corresponding to the switchgear identification information identified in SL3, and which has been registered as the second terminal device identification information.

[0441] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 27(b), the first deletion terminal selection screen DHb is displayed with a deletion selection checkbox DHb1 provided at a position corresponding to the displayed second terminal device identification information, and includes a deletion selection checkbox DHb1 for selecting the corresponding second terminal device identification information (specifically, a deletion selection checkbox DHb1 capable of selecting multiple second terminal device identification information), a deletion confirmation button DHb2 for confirming the selection of the second terminal device identification information by the deletion selection checkbox DHb1, a first deletion return button DHb3 for returning to the first deletion open / close selection screen DHa, and a second deletion return button DHb4 for returning to the processing selection screen DC.

[0442] Returning to Figure 25, in SL5, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device identifies the second terminal device identification information to be deleted from the switchgear identification information (specifically, user name information and user telephone number information) displayed in SL4.

[0443] Here, the method for identifying the second terminal device identification information to be deleted is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, it is identified as follows.

[0444] Specifically, when the delete selection checkbox DHb1 corresponding to the second terminal device identification information is checked on the first delete terminal selection screen DHb, and an operation input (for example, a touch operation) is received for the delete confirmation button DHb2, the first delete confirmation screen DHc is displayed as shown in Figure 27(c).

[0445] This first deletion confirmation screen DHc displays the information entered above, and also includes a first deletion confirmation button DHc1 for confirming the entered information and a first deletion cancellation button DHc2 for canceling the entered information.

[0446] The system then identifies the item when an operation input (for example, a touch operation) is received from the first deletion confirmation button DHc1 on the first deletion confirmation screen DHc.

[0447] On the other hand, if an operation input (for example, a touch operation) is received for the first deletion cancellation button DHc2 on the first deletion confirmation screen DHc, the system will return to the first deletion terminal selection screen DHb, allowing the user to re-enter various information on the first deletion terminal selection screen DHb.

[0448] Returning to Figure 25, in SL6, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device has the terminal-side communication unit 101 transmit the first deletion instruction information, which includes the second terminal device identification information identified in SL5, to the switchgear 1 corresponding to the switchgear identification information identified in SL3. The first deletion instruction information instructs the deletion of the terminal device identification information and attribute information.

[0449] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 26, in SM1, the switching-side control unit 64 of the target control unit (specifically, the control unit 60 provided on the switching device 1 corresponding to the switching device identification information identified in SL3) determines whether or not the first deletion instruction information transmitted in SL6 has been received by the second switching-side communication unit 62.

[0450] Then, the on / off control unit 64 of the target control unit waits until it is determined that the first deletion instruction information has been received (SM1, No), and if it is determined that the first deletion instruction information has been received (SM1, Yes), it proceeds to SM2.

[0451] In SM2, the registration unit 64b of the target control unit deletes the second terminal device identification information and the second attribute information registered by the registration unit 64b, based on the second terminal device identification information contained in the first deletion instruction information received in SM1.

[0452] The method for deleting this second terminal device identification information and second attribute information is optional, but in this embodiment, at least a portion of the terminal device identification information and attribute information (specifically, the second terminal device identification information and second attribute information) corresponding to the second terminal device 100b is deleted from the terminal device identification information and attribute information registered in the registration DB 65a.

[0453] Specifically, the second terminal device identification information registered in registration DB65a that matches the second terminal device identification information received by SM1 will be deleted. In addition, the second attribute information registered in registration DB65a that is associated with the second terminal device identification information to be deleted will be deleted. Furthermore, the second authority information registered in registration DB65a that is associated with the second terminal device identification information to be deleted will be deleted.

[0454] If multiple second terminal device identification information is received by SM1, the multiple second terminal device identification information that matches the multiple second terminal device identification information is deleted, the multiple second attribute information registered in association with the multiple second terminal device identification information to be deleted is deleted, and the multiple second authority information registered in association with the multiple second terminal device identification information to be deleted is deleted.

[0455] For example, if the user name information of the second terminal device identification information included in the first deletion instruction information received by SM1 is CCCC and the user telephone number information is "08033333333", then the user name information of the second terminal device identification information = CCCC and the user telephone number information = "08033333333" will be deleted from the second terminal device identification information, second attribute information, and authority information registered in the registration DB65a, the second attribute information registered in association with the second terminal device identification information will be deleted, and the second authority information registered in association with the second terminal device identification information will be deleted.

[0456] In SM3, the switching-side control unit 64 of the target control unit causes the second switching-side communication unit 62 to send first deletion completion information, indicating that the deletion of the second terminal device identification information and the second attribute information has been completed in SM2, to the target terminal device (specifically, the terminal device 100 that is the source of the first deletion instruction information). After that, the process moves to SM1, and the processing from SM1 to SM3 is repeated in the same manner thereafter.

[0457] For example, the on / off control unit 64 of the target control unit may also transmit the first deletion completion information to the terminal device 100 corresponding to the second terminal device identification information deleted in SM2, thereby enabling the terminal device 100 to display the first deletion completion information.

[0458] Returning to Figure 25, in SL7, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines whether or not the first deletion completion information transmitted via SM3 by the terminal-side communication unit 101 has been received.

[0459] Then, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device waits until it is determined that the first deletion completion information has been received (SL7, No), and if it is determined that the first deletion completion information has been received (SL7, Yes), it proceeds to SL8.

[0460] In SL8, the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device displays the first deletion completion information received in SL7 on the terminal-side display unit 103, and then terminates the first deletion process of the target terminal device.

[0461] The method for displaying this first deletion completion information is optional, but in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 27(d), the first deletion completion screen DHd, which displays the first deletion completion information received by SL8, is displayed on the screen of the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0462] This first deletion process makes it possible to delete terminal device identification information (specifically, second terminal device identification information) corresponding to the second terminal device 100b that was registered using the first terminal device 100a (that is, the first terminal device 100a can execute the first deletion process based on the first deletion authorization information included in the first authorization information granted by the authorization granting unit 64f), and makes it possible for the user of the first terminal device 100a to easily delete the terminal device identification information corresponding to the second terminal device 100b that they wish to delete.

[0463] (Control process - Details of control process - Second deletion process) Next, we will explain the second deletion process for SA14 in Figure 8.

[0464] The second deletion process is a process that uses the second terminal device 100b to delete the terminal device identification information corresponding to the second terminal device 100b from the terminal device identification information registered by the registration unit 64b (i.e., a process that uses the second terminal device 100b to delete its own second terminal device identification information).

[0465] When the second deletion process is initiated, as shown in Figure 28, the switchgear identification unit 107f of the target terminal device (specifically, the second terminal device 100b) in SN1 identifies the switchgear 1 equipped with a control unit 60 capable of deleting the second terminal device identification information, in substantially the same manner as the process in SL1.

[0466] In SN2, the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device displays only the switchgear identification information (specifically, the switchgear name information) that uniquely identifies the switchgear 1 identified in SN1 on the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0467] The method for displaying this switchgear identification information is optional, but in this embodiment, similar to the method for displaying the switchgear identification information of SL2, a second delete / open / close selection screen DIa is displayed on the screen of the terminal-side display unit 103, as shown in Figure 30(a), which displays the switchgear name information obtained from the switchgear 1 (specifically, the control unit 60) identified by SN1.

[0468] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 30(a), the second delete / open / close selection screen DIa is displayed with a second delete / open / close selection button DIa1 provided at a position corresponding to the displayed switchgear identification information, and includes a second delete / open / close selection button DIa1 for selecting the corresponding switchgear identification information and a delete return button DIa2 for returning to the processing selection screen DC. Furthermore, the second delete / open / close selection screen DIa displays the first terminal device registration information (information indicated by the "◎" mark in Figure 30(a)) at a position corresponding to the switchgear identification information of the switchgear 1 to which the first terminal device identification information is registered.

[0469] Returning to Figure 28, in SN3, the switchgear identification unit 107f of the target terminal device identifies the switchgear identification information corresponding to the switchgear 1 to be deleted from the switchgear identification information (specifically, the switchgear name information) displayed in SN2.

[0470] Here, the method for identifying the corresponding switchgear identification information is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, it is identified as follows.

[0471] Specifically, when an operation input (for example, a touch operation) is received for the second delete open / close selection button DIa1, which is located at a position corresponding to the open / close device identification information and is displayed on the second delete open / close selection screen DIa, the second delete confirmation screen DIb is displayed as shown in Figure 30(b).

[0472] This second deletion confirmation screen DIb displays the switchgear identification information identified in SN3, and includes a second deletion confirmation button DIb1 for confirming the identified switchgear identification information, and a second deletion cancellation button DIb2 for canceling the identified switchgear identification information.

[0473] Furthermore, if an operation input is received for the second deletion open / close selection button DIa1, which corresponds to the open / close device identification information located at the position corresponding to the first terminal device registration information, the terminal device identification information and second attribute information of the target terminal device, which are registered as the second terminal device identification information in the open / close device 1 (specifically, the control unit 60) corresponding to the said open / close device identification information, will be deleted in accordance with the procedure described in the first deletion process.

[0474] Then, the item is identified when an operation input (for example, a touch operation input) is received from the second deletion confirmation screen DIb's second deletion confirmation button DIb1.

[0475] On the other hand, if an operation input (for example, a touch operation) is received for the second deletion cancellation button DIb2 on the second deletion confirmation screen DIb, the system will return to the second deletion open / close selection screen DIa, making it possible to re-identify the open / close device identification information.

[0476] Returning to Figure 28, in SN4, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device receives the second deletion instruction information, which includes the terminal device identification information (specifically, user name information and user telephone number information) registered in SB4. The terminal-side communication unit 101 then transmits this second deletion instruction information, which instructs the deletion of the terminal device identification information and attribute information, to the switchgear 1 corresponding to the switchgear identification information identified in SN3.

[0477] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 29, in SO1, the switching-side control unit 64 of the target control unit (specifically, the control unit 60 provided in the switching device 1 corresponding to the switching device identification information identified in SN3) determines whether or not the second deletion instruction information transmitted in SN4 has been received by the second switching-side communication unit 62.

[0478] Then, the on / off control unit 64 of the target control unit waits until it is determined that the second deletion instruction information has been received (SO1, No), and if it is determined that the second deletion instruction information has been received (SO1, Yes), it proceeds to SO2.

[0479] In SO2, the registration unit 64b of the target control unit deletes the second terminal device identification information and the second attribute information registered by the registration unit 64b, based on the second deletion instruction information received in SO1.

[0480] The method for deleting this second terminal device identification information and second attribute information is optional, but in this embodiment, only the terminal device identification information and attribute information (specifically, the second terminal device identification information and second attribute information) corresponding to the terminal device 100 (specifically, the second terminal device 100b) that received the second deletion instruction information, from among the terminal device identification information and attribute information registered in the registration DB 65a, is deleted.

[0481] Specifically, the second terminal device identification information registered in registration DB65a that matches the second terminal device identification information received by SO1 will be deleted. In addition, the second attribute information registered in registration DB65a that is associated with the second terminal device identification information to be deleted will be deleted. Furthermore, the second authority information registered in registration DB65a that is associated with the second terminal device identification information to be deleted will be deleted.

[0482] For example, if the second terminal device identification information received in SO1 contains the username information = BBBB and the user telephone number information = "08022222222", then the username information = BBBB and the user telephone number information = "08022222222" of the second terminal device identification information registered in registration DB65a will be deleted, the second attribute information registered in association with the second terminal device identification information will also be deleted, and the second authority information registered in association with the second terminal device identification information will also be deleted.

[0483] In SO3, the switching-side control unit 64 of the target control unit causes the second switching-side communication unit 62 to send second deletion completion information, indicating that the deletion of the second terminal device identification information and the second attribute information has been completed in SO2, to the target terminal device which is the source of the second deletion instruction information. After that, the process moves to SO1, and the processing from SO1 to SO3 is repeated in the same manner thereafter.

[0484] Returning to Figure 28, in SN5, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines whether or not the second deletion completion information transmitted in SO3 has been received by the terminal-side communication unit 101.

[0485] Then, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device waits until it is determined that the second deletion completion information has been received (SN5, No), and if it is determined that the second deletion completion information has been received (SN5, Yes), it proceeds to SN6.

[0486] In SN6, the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device displays the second deletion completion information received in SN5 on the terminal-side display unit 103, and then terminates the handover process of the target terminal device.

[0487] The method for displaying this second deletion completion information is optional, but in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 30(c), the second deletion completion screen DIc, which displays the second deletion completion information received by SN5, is displayed on the screen of the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0488] This second deletion process allows the terminal device identification information (specifically, the second terminal device identification information) corresponding to the second terminal device 100b, which was registered using the second terminal device 100b, to be deleted (that is, the second terminal device 100b can execute the second deletion process based on the second deletion authorization information included in the second authorization information granted by the authorization granting unit 64f), and the user of the second terminal device 100b can easily delete the terminal device identification information and attribute information at a time convenient for them.

[0489] In this embodiment, if you wish to delete the terminal device identification information corresponding to the first terminal device 100a (i.e., the first terminal device identification information) from the terminal device identification information registered by the registration unit 64b, you can delete it according to the procedure shown below.

[0490] Specifically, in the first handover process of SA10, the attribute information (specifically, the first attribute information) registered in association with the first terminal device identification information to be deleted is transferred, thereby changing the attribute information of the first terminal device identification information to be deleted to the second attribute information, and the first terminal device identification information is re-registered as the second terminal device identification information in the registration DB65a. Then, in the second deletion process of SA14, the re-registered second terminal device identification information and the second attribute information registered in association with the second terminal device identification information are deleted, thereby deleting the first terminal device identification information. In other words, the first terminal device identification information registered by the registration unit 64b can be deleted after the second deletion process of SA14 is executed following the handover process of SA10.

[0491] (Control process - Details of control process - Change process) Next, we will explain the modification process for SA16 in Figure 8.

[0492] The change process is the process for changing authentication information.

[0493] When the change process is initiated, as shown in Figure 31, the switchgear identification unit 107f of the target terminal device (specifically, the first terminal device 100a) in SP1 identifies the switchgear 1 that is equipped with a control unit 60 capable of changing the authentication information.

[0494] The method for identifying the switchgear 1 is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, the information registered in the registration DB 65a received from the control unit 60 located within the communication range of the target terminal device is referenced to extract from the switchgear 1 the switchgear 1 in which the terminal device identification information of the target terminal device is registered as first terminal device identification information in association with first authority information, and the extracted switchgear 1 is identified as the switchgear 1 to be identified. In other words, the switchgear identification unit 107f of the target terminal device identifies a switchgear 1 capable of changing authentication information from among the switchgear 1 located within the communication range of the target terminal device, based on the first authority information assigned to the target terminal device.

[0495] In SP2, the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device displays only the switchgear identification information (specifically, the switchgear name information) that uniquely identifies the switchgear 1 identified in SP1 on the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0496] The method of displaying this switchgear identification information is optional, but in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 33(a), the terminal-side display unit 103 displays a first change screen DJa that displays the switchgear name information obtained from the switchgear 1 (specifically, the control unit 60) identified by SP1, and a change return button DJa2 for returning to the processing selection screen DC.

[0497] Specifically, in the long first change screen DJa, multiple switchgear name information (such as "Shutter 1" and "Shutter 2" in Figure 33(a)) is displayed side by side along the longitudinal direction of the first change screen DJa. Note that, for example, if only one switchgear name information is obtained, that switchgear name information may simply be displayed.

[0498] Furthermore, for example, in the processing of SP1, if a switch 1 cannot be identified from among the switch 1 located within the communication range of the target terminal device, because the terminal device identification information of the target terminal device is registered as the first terminal device identification information in association with the first authorization information, then the change process may be terminated after displaying information to that effect on the first change screen DJa. In other words, if the authorization information granted to the target terminal device does not include change authorization information, the target terminal device will not be able to change its authentication information.

[0499] In this embodiment, the first change screen DJa is displayed with change selection buttons DJa1 provided at positions corresponding to the displayed switchgear identification information, and each change selection button DJa1 is used to select the corresponding switchgear identification information.

[0500] Returning to Figure 31, in SP3, the switchgear identification unit 107f of the target terminal device identifies the switchgear identification information corresponding to the switchgear 1 to be changed from the switchgear identification information (specifically, switchgear name information) displayed in SP2.

[0501] Here, the method for identifying the corresponding switchgear identification information is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, it is identified by receiving an operation input (for example, a touch operation input) of the change selection button DJa1 that corresponds to the corresponding switchgear identification information, among the change selection buttons DJa1 displayed on the first change screen DJa.

[0502] In SP4, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device acquires change authentication information (for example, change authentication information indicating "9999").

[0503] Furthermore, while the method for obtaining this change authentication information is optional, in this embodiment it is obtained as follows.

[0504] First, as shown in Figure 33(b), the second change screen DJb is displayed on the screen of the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0505] This second change screen DJb displays cautionary information indicating precautions to take when changing terminal device identification information, and also includes a first change authentication input box DJb1 for entering change authentication information, a second change authentication input box DJb2 for entering change authentication information for confirmation, a change confirmation button DJb3 for confirming the information entered in these input boxes, a first change return button DJb4 for returning to the first change screen DJa, and a second change return button DJb5 for returning to the processing selection screen DC.

[0506] Next, when change authentication information is entered into the first change authentication input box DJb1 and the second change authentication input box via the terminal-side display unit 103, and an operation input (for example, a touch operation input) is received for the change confirmation button DJb3, the third change screen DJc is displayed as shown in Figure 33(c).

[0507] This third change screen DJc displays the entered change authentication information and switchgear identification information (specifically, switchgear serial number information and switchgear name information) that uniquely identifies the switchgear 1 identified in SP1. It also includes a change confirmation button DJc1 for confirming the entered change authentication information and a change cancellation button DJc2 for canceling the entered information.

[0508] Then, the third change screen DJc is identified when an operation input (for example, a touch operation input) is received for the confirmation button DJc1.

[0509] On the other hand, if the operation input for the cancellation button DJc2 on the third change screen DJc (for example, touch input) is accepted, the system will return to the second change screen DJb, making it possible to re-enter the change authentication information on the second change screen DJb.

[0510] Returning to Figure 31, in SP5, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device has the terminal-side communication unit 101 transmit the change instruction information, which includes the change authentication information obtained in SP4, to the switchgear 1 corresponding to the switchgear identification information identified in SP3.

[0511] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 32, in SQ1, the switching-side control unit 64 of the target control unit (specifically, the control unit 60 provided on the switching device 1 corresponding to the switching device identification information identified in SP3) determines whether or not the change instruction information transmitted in SP5 has been received by the second switching-side communication unit 62.

[0512] Then, the on / off control unit 64 of the target control unit waits until it is determined that the above change instruction information has been received (SQ1, No), and when it is determined that the above change instruction information has been received (SQ1, Yes), it proceeds to SQ2.

[0513] In SQ2, the change unit 64c of the target control unit changes the authentication information (specifically, the first authentication information or the second authentication information) stored in the target control unit (specifically, the terminal-side storage unit 108) based on the change authentication information included in the change instruction information received in SQ1.

[0514] The method for changing this authentication information is optional, but in this embodiment, the first or second authentication information is changed regardless of whether the second terminal device identification information has been registered by the registration unit 64b.

[0515] However, this is not limited to the above. For example, the modification unit 64c of the target control unit may modify the stored first or second authentication information without requiring the second switching-side communication unit 62 to receive authentication information identical to the first or second authentication information stored in the target control unit from the first terminal device 100a, although this modification is conditional on the second terminal device identification information being registered by the registration unit 64b and the modified authentication information being received by SQ1.

[0516] In detail, when SQ1 receives changed authentication information, it is simply determined whether or not the second terminal device identification information is registered in the registration DB65a. If the second terminal device identification information is registered, the first or second authentication information is changed; if the second terminal device identification information is not registered, it is not necessary to change the first or second authentication information.

[0517] For example, if the first authentication information = "1234" is stored in the target control unit, and the second terminal device identification information, user name information = BBBB and user telephone number information = "08022222222", is registered in the registration DB65a, then when the changed authentication information = "9999" is received by SQ1, the first authentication information will be changed from "1234" to "9999", and the changed authentication information will be stored in the target control unit as the second authentication information.

[0518] This change makes it possible to avoid the registration of the second terminal device identification information being hindered by the change, regardless of whether the second terminal device identification information is registered or not, compared to changing the first or second authentication information, and ensures that the second terminal device identification information is registered. In addition, it reduces the effort required to change the first or second authentication information, and makes it possible to perform such changes simply and quickly.

[0519] For example, if the change unit 64c of the target control unit receives change instruction information via SQ1 when the second terminal device identification information has not been registered by the registration unit 64b, it may cause the second switching-side communication unit 62 to transmit incomplete change information to the target terminal device, indicating that the authentication information has not been changed.

[0520] In SQ3, the switch-side control unit 64 of the target control unit causes the second switch-side communication unit 62 to send change completion information, indicating that the change of authentication information has been completed in SQ2, to the target terminal device that is the source of the change instruction information. The process then proceeds to SQ1, and the processing from SQ1 to SQ3 is repeated in the same manner thereafter.

[0521] Returning to Figure 31, in SP6, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines whether or not the change completion information transmitted in SQ3 by the terminal-side communication unit 101 has been received.

[0522] Then, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device waits until it is determined that the above change completion information has been received (SP6, No), and when it is determined that the above change completion information has been received (SP6, Yes), it proceeds to SP7.

[0523] In SP7, the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device displays the change completion information received in SP6 on the terminal-side display unit 103, and then terminates the change processing of the target terminal device.

[0524] Furthermore, while the method for displaying the change completion information is optional, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 33(d), the fourth change screen DJd, which displays the change completion information received by SP6, is displayed on the screen of the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0525] This modification process allows the first or second authentication information to be changed based on the modified authentication information (i.e., the first terminal device 100a can execute the modification process based on the modification authorization information included in the first authorization information granted by the authorization granting unit 64f), and the first terminal device 100a can register authentication information that meets the needs of its users. Furthermore, the authentication information can be changed using the first terminal device 100a, making it possible for users of the first terminal device 100a to easily change their authentication information at a time convenient for them.

[0526] (Control process - Details of control process - History confirmation process) Next, we will explain the history verification process for SA18 in Figure 8.

[0527] The history verification process is a process for verifying operation history information using the first terminal device 100a.

[0528] When the history confirmation process is activated, as shown in Figure 34, the switchgear identification unit 107f of the target terminal device (specifically, the first terminal device 100a) in SR1 identifies the switchgear 1 that is equipped with a control unit 60 capable of confirming operation history information.

[0529] The method for identifying the switchgear 1 is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, the information registered in the registration DB 65a received from the control unit 60 located within the communication range of the target terminal device is referenced to extract from the switchgear 1 the switchgear 1 in which the terminal device identification information of the target terminal device is registered as first terminal device identification information in association with first authority information, and the extracted switchgear 1 is identified as the switchgear 1 to be identified. In other words, the switchgear identification unit 107f of the target terminal device identifies a switchgear 1 from among the switchgear 1 located within the communication range of the target terminal device that can check the operation history information, based on the first authority information assigned to the target terminal device.

[0530] In SR2, the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device displays only the switchgear identification information (specifically, the switchgear name information) that uniquely identifies the switchgear 1 identified in SR1 on the terminal-side display unit 103.

[0531] The method of displaying this switchgear identification information is optional, but in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 36(a), the terminal-side display unit 103 displays a first history confirmation screen DKa on the screen, which displays the switchgear name information obtained from the switchgear 1 (specifically, the control unit 60) identified by SR1.

[0532] Specifically, in the long first history confirmation screen DKa, multiple switchgear name information (such as "Shutter 1", "Shutter 2", "Shutter 3", "Shutter 4", "Shutter 5", etc. in Figure 36(a)) is displayed side by side along the longitudinal direction of the first history confirmation screen DKa. Note that, for example, if only one switchgear name information is obtained, that switchgear name information may simply be displayed.

[0533] Furthermore, for example, in the processing of SR1, if a switch 1 cannot be identified from among the switch 1 located within the communication range of the target terminal device, because the terminal device identification information of the target terminal device is registered as the first terminal device identification information in association with the first authority information, then the history confirmation process may be terminated after displaying information to that effect on the first history confirmation screen DKa. In other words, if the authority information granted to the target terminal device does not include history confirmation authority information, the target terminal device will not be able to confirm the operation history information.

[0534] In this embodiment, the first history confirmation screen DKa is displayed with history confirmation selection buttons DKa1 provided at positions corresponding to the displayed switchgear identification information, and includes a history confirmation selection button DKa1 for selecting the corresponding switchgear identification information and a history confirmation return button DKa2 for returning to the processing selection screen DC.

[0535] Returning to Figure 34, in SR3, the switchgear identification unit 107f of the target terminal device identifies the switchgear identification information corresponding to switchgear 1, which is the target of operation history information verification, from the switchgear identification information (specifically, switchgear name information) displayed in SR2.

[0536] Here, the method for identifying the corresponding switchgear identification information is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, it is identified when an operation input (for example, a touch operation input, etc.) is received for the history confirmation selection button DKa1 that corresponds to the corresponding switchgear identification information, which is displayed on the first history confirmation screen DKa.

[0537] In SR4, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device instructs the terminal-side communication unit 101 to send history confirmation instruction information, which instructs the confirmation of operation history information, to the switchgear 1 corresponding to the switchgear identification information identified in SR3.

[0538] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 35, in SS1, the switching-side control unit 64 of the target control unit (specifically, the control unit 60 provided on the switching device 1 corresponding to the switching device identification information identified in SR3) determines whether or not the history confirmation instruction information transmitted in SR4 has been received by the second switching-side communication unit 62.

[0539] Then, the opening / closing control unit 64 of the target control unit waits until it is determined that the history confirmation instruction information has been received (SS1, No), and when it is determined that the history confirmation instruction information has been received (SS1, Yes), it proceeds to SS2.

[0540] In SS2, the history provision unit 64g of the target control unit provides operation history information to the target terminal device (specifically, the first terminal device 100a) via the second switching-side communication unit 62. The process then proceeds to SS1, and the processing of SS1 and SS2 is repeated in the same manner thereafter.

[0541] The method for providing this operation history information is optional, but in this embodiment, it is provided by transmitting at least one or more operation history information (specifically, operation date and time information, terminal device identification information, and switchgear operation information) stored in the operation history DB65b via the second switchgear communication unit 62 immediately before processing SS2.

[0542] Specifically, immediately before processing SS2, all operation history information stored in the operation history DB65b is provided by transmitting it via the second switching-side communication unit 62.

[0543] However, this is not limited to the above. For example, if the number of operation history entries exceeds a threshold (e.g., 50 entries), only the most recent 50 operation history entries from the operation history DB 65b may be transmitted by the second switching-side communication unit 62 to provide the information.

[0544] Returning to Figure 34, in SR5, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device determines whether or not the operation history information provided in SR4 has been received by the terminal-side communication unit 101.

[0545] Then, the terminal-side control unit 107 of the target terminal device waits until it is determined that the above operation history information has been received (SR5, No), and when it is determined that the above operation history information has been received (SR5, Yes), it proceeds to SR6.

[0546] In SR6, the display control unit 107a of the target terminal device displays the operation history information received in SR5 on the terminal-side display unit 103, and then terminates the history confirmation process of the target terminal device.

[0547] The method for displaying this operation history information is optional, but in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 36(b), the terminal-side display unit 103 displays the switchgear identification information identified by SR3, and also displays a second history confirmation screen DKb that displays all of the operation history information received by SR5.

[0548] Specifically, in the long second history confirmation screen DKb, multiple operation history information items are displayed side-by-side in chronological order along the longitudinal direction of the second history confirmation screen DKb. In addition, the operation date and time information, terminal device identification information, and switchgear operation information for each operation history item are displayed side-by-side along the short direction of the second history confirmation screen DKb.

[0549] However, this is not the only option; for example, the second history confirmation screen DKb may display only a portion of the operation history information received by SR5.

[0550] As an example, among the operation history information received by SR5, only the operation history information corresponding to the operation date and time information, terminal device identification information, or switch operation information identified by a predetermined method (for example, a predetermined operation on the terminal-side display unit 103 of the target terminal device) may be displayed on the second history confirmation screen DKb.

[0551] In this embodiment, the second history confirmation screen DKb is displayed with a first history confirmation return button DKb1 for returning to the first history confirmation screen DKa, and a second history confirmation return button DKb2 for returning to the processing selection screen DC.

[0552] This history verification process allows the operation history information to be checked using the first terminal device 100a (that is, the first terminal device 100a can execute the history verification process based on the history verification authorization information included in the first authorization information granted by the authorization granting unit 64f), and enables the user of the first terminal device 100a to easily check the operation history information at a time convenient for them.

[0553] Through the control processing described above, terminal-side processing that meets the user needs of the terminal device 100 can be executed via the terminal device 100, thereby improving the usability of the control system.

[0554] (Effects of the embodiment) As described above, according to this embodiment, when the display control unit 107a receives input for a switching operation via the terminal-side display unit 103 in the operation display state, it switches from the target operation screen DAA to another operation screen DA and displays the switched operation screen DA as the target operation screen DAA on the terminal-side display unit 103. Therefore, in the operation display state, simply by performing a switching operation, the target operation screen DAA can be switched to another target operation screen DAA and displayed. Thus, compared to the case where a selection operation is received on a selection screen for selecting a candidate switch 1 to be operated, and then the switch 1 is operated via an operation screen DA for operating the candidate switch 1 to be operated, the effort of switching from one target operation screen DAA to another target operation screen DAA is reduced, and the desired switch 1 can be operated quickly, thereby improving the operability of the terminal device 100.

[0555] Furthermore, since the operation screen DA has an opening / closing operation area DAa and a switching operation area DAb positioned on the operation screen DA that does not overlap with the opening / closing operation area DAa, compared to the case where the opening / closing operation area DAa and the switching operation area DAb overlap on the operation screen DA, it is possible to suppress erroneous operations related to the opening / closing device 1 and / or switching operations, and improve the operability of the operation screen DA.

[0556] Furthermore, since the opening / closing operation area DAa is positioned in the center of the operation screen DA, and the switching operation area DAb is positioned at either of the longitudinal ends of the operation screen DA, compared to the case where the opening / closing operation area DAa is positioned at the longitudinal end of the operation screen DA and the switching operation area DAb is positioned in the center of the operation screen DA, the operation of the opening / closing device 1 becomes easier, thus improving the operability of the opening / closing operation area DAa.

[0557] Furthermore, the switching operation area DAb has a switching unit DA4 that accepts input for switching operations when either a swipe or flick operation is performed along either the short side of the operation screen DA on the switching unit DA4. Compared to when the input to the switching unit DA4 is a touch operation, it is easier to prevent accidental input of switching operations, thus improving the operability of the switching operation area DAb.

[0558] Furthermore, in the operation display state, the display control unit 107a displays switchgear identification information on the terminal-side display unit 103 that uniquely identifies the switchgear 1 corresponding to the target operation screen DAA. This allows the user of the terminal device 100 to visually confirm the switchgear identification information in the operation display state, enabling the user of the terminal device 100 to accurately operate the switchgear 1 they wish to operate.

[0559] Furthermore, the display control unit 107a displays the communication status information DA6 on the terminal-side display unit 103 when the operation display is active. This allows the user of the terminal device 100 to see the communication status information DA6 when the operation display is active, enabling the user of the terminal device 100 to take appropriate action based on the communication status (for example, moving the terminal device 100 to a location where communication is possible if the switch 1 and the terminal device 100 are unable to communicate).

[0560] Furthermore, when the timing for displaying the target operation screen DAA arrives, the display control unit 107a prioritizes displaying the operation screen DA identified by the operation screen identification unit 107b as the target operation screen DAA on the terminal-side display unit 103. This allows the switch 1 corresponding to the operation screen DA to be operated quickly, enabling the user of the terminal device 100 to quickly operate the switch 1 they wish to operate.

[0561] [III] Modifications of the Embodiment While embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the specific configurations and means of the present invention can be arbitrarily modified and improved within the scope of the technical idea of ​​each invention described in the claims. Such modifications will be described below.

[0562] (Regarding the problems to be solved and the effects of the invention) First, the problems that the invention aims to solve and the effects of the invention are not limited to those described above. The present invention may solve problems not described above, produce effects not described above, solve only some of the problems described above, or produce only some of the effects described above.

[0563] (Regarding decentralization and integration) Furthermore, the aforementioned electrical components are functional concepts and do not necessarily need to be physically configured as shown in the illustrations. In other words, the specific forms of distribution and integration of each part are not limited to those shown in the illustrations, and all or part of them can be functionally or physically distributed or integrated in any unit according to various loads and usage conditions. Also, the term "device" in this application is not limited to a single device, but includes devices composed of multiple devices.

[0564] For example, the control unit 60 may be distributed across multiple devices configured to communicate with each other. More specifically, a portion of the multiple devices may be provided with the first switching-side communication unit 61, the switching-side power supply unit 63, a portion of the switching-side control unit 64 (specifically, the portion excluding the verification unit 64a, registration unit 64b, modification unit 64c, identification provision unit 64d, attribute identification unit 64e, authorization granting unit 64f, and history provision unit 64g), and a portion of the switching-side storage unit 65 (specifically, the portion excluding the registration DB 65a and operation history DB 65b). Another portion of the multiple devices may be provided with the second switching-side communication unit 62, another portion of the switching-side control unit 64 (specifically, the verification unit 64a, registration unit 64b, modification unit 64c, identification provision unit 64d, attribute identification unit 64e, authorization granting unit 64f, and history provision unit 64g), and a portion of the switching-side storage unit 65 (specifically, the registration DB 65a and operation history DB 65b).

[0565] This makes it possible to perform the above control processing by attaching other parts of multiple devices to the existing switchgear 1, thereby increasing the applicability of the control system.

[0566] (Regarding shape, numerical values, structure, and time series) With regard to the components illustrated in the embodiments and drawings, their shapes, numerical values, or the interrelationships of the structure or time series of multiple components can be arbitrarily modified and improved within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention.

[0567] (Regarding the opening and closing mechanism) In the above embodiment, it was explained that multiple opening / closing devices 1 are provided for each of the multiple openings 3 in the building, but this is not limited to this. For example, if a building has only one opening 3, then only one opening / closing device 1 may be provided for that opening 3.

[0568] (Regarding the processing system) In the above embodiment, the processing system was described as a control unit 60, but it is not limited to this, and may also be a system consisting of the control unit 60 and an external device such as a cloud server.

[0569] In this case, the control unit 60 may include a part of the matching unit 64a, registration unit 64b, modification unit 64c, identification provision unit 64d, attribute identification unit 64e, authorization granting unit 64f, or history provision unit 64g, and the external device may include other parts of the matching unit 64a, registration unit 64b, modification unit 64c, identification provision unit 64d, attribute identification unit 64e, authorization granting unit 64f, or history provision unit 64g.

[0570] (Regarding the control unit) In the above embodiment, the control unit 60 is described as comprising a matching unit 64a, a registration unit 64b, a modification unit 64c, an identification provision unit 64d, an attribute identification unit 64e, an authorization granting unit 64f, and a history provision unit 64g. However, it is not limited to this configuration, and for example, any of the matching unit 64a, registration unit 64b, modification unit 64c, identification provision unit 64d, attribute identification unit 64e, authorization granting unit 64f, or history provision unit 64g may be omitted.

[0571] (Regarding the Second News Department) In the above embodiment, the second notification unit 107e was described as notifying the second notification information when the first operation instruction information is transmitted, but it is not limited to this. For example, the second notification information may be notified when information other than the first operation instruction information is transmitted (for example, handover instruction information, first deletion instruction information, second deletion instruction information, change instruction information, or history confirmation instruction information).

[0572] (Regarding terminal devices) In the above embodiment, the terminal device 100 was described as including a first terminal device 100a and a second terminal device 100b, but it is not limited to this. For example, it may include a third terminal device belonging to a third attribute different from the first and second attributes (for example, an attribute that functions as a grandchild device of terminal device 100).

[0573] In this case, for example, during the registration process, the registration unit 64b may register the third terminal device identification information after the first terminal device identification information and the second terminal device identification information have been registered, and the authorization granting unit 64f may grant the third authorization information, which is authorization information corresponding to the third attribute information indicating the third attribute, to the third terminal device.

[0574] Furthermore, although the above embodiment describes the terminal device 100 as comprising a display control unit 107a, an operation screen identification unit 107b, a transmission control unit 107c, a first notification unit 107d, a second notification unit 107e, and a switch / open / close device identification unit 107f, it is not limited to this configuration. For example, any of the display control unit 107a, the operation screen identification unit 107b, the transmission control unit 107c, the first notification unit 107d, the second notification unit 107e, or the switch / open / close device identification unit 107f may be omitted.

[0575] If the operation screen identification unit 107b is omitted, for example, in the processing of the operation process SG1, the first operation screen DA stored in the operation screen table 108a or a randomly selected operation screen DA may be displayed as the target operation screen DAA.

[0576] (Regarding the user interface) In the above embodiment, the operation screen DA is described as having a second switching operation area DAa2. However, the embodiment is not limited to this, and for example, if the auxiliary equipment is not operated and the display of communication status information DA6 is omitted, the second switching operation area DAa2 may be omitted.

[0577] Furthermore, although the above embodiment was described as having the open / close operation area DAa and the switch operation area DAb arranged so as not to overlap on the operation screen DA, it is not limited to this, and for example, the open / close operation area DAa and the switch operation area DAb may be arranged so as to overlap.

[0578] Furthermore, although the above embodiment describes the opening / closing operation area DAa as being located in the center of the operation screen DA and the switching operation area DAb as being located at either of the longitudinal ends of the operation screen DA, it is not limited to this configuration. For example, the opening / closing operation area DAa may be located at either of the longitudinal ends of the operation screen DA, and the switching operation area DAb may be located in the center of the operation screen DA.

[0579] (Regarding communication status information) In the above embodiment, the communication status information DA6 was described as including the first communication status information DA7 and the second communication status information, but it is not limited to this. For example, it may further include third communication status information indicating the communication speed and / or communication strength between the switching device 1 and the terminal device 100, and this third communication status information may be displayed on the operation screen DA.

[0580] (Regarding control processing) In the above embodiment, it was explained that the processes from SA5 to SA18 are performed, but this is not limited to this, and for example, any of SA5 to SA18 may be omitted.

[0581] (Regarding the registration process) In the above embodiment, the registration unit 64b was described as registering the second terminal device identification information after the first terminal device identification information has been registered. However, the invention is not limited to this, and for example, the second terminal device identification information may be registered regardless of whether the first terminal device identification information has been registered or not.

[0582] In this case, for example, if the registration unit 64b receives terminal device identification information and first attribute information from the terminal device 100, it may register the terminal device identification information as first terminal device identification information, and if it receives terminal device identification information and second attribute information from the terminal device 100, it may register the terminal device identification information as second terminal device identification information.

[0583] (Regarding the second registration process) In the above embodiment, it was explained that SF1 determines whether the authentication information received by SD1 matches the authentication information stored in the target control unit that was used to register the first terminal device identification information (specifically, the first authentication information or the second authentication information), but it is not limited to this. For example, it may be determined whether the authentication information received by SD1 matches authentication information other than the authentication information used to register the first terminal device identification information.

[0584] (Regarding the operation process) In the above embodiment, it was explained that in the processing of SG1, the display control unit 107a displays switchgear identification information on the terminal-side display unit 103 that uniquely identifies the switchgear 1 corresponding to the target operation screen DAA in the operation display state. However, the invention is not limited to this, and for example, the display of the switchgear identification information may be omitted.

[0585] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, it was explained that an input for an open or close operation is deemed to have been received when an input for a first operation is received in SG2 via either the open button DA1 or the close button DA2, and then an input for a second operation is received in SG4 via the operation screen DA. However, this is not limited to this. For example, an input for an open or close operation may be deemed to have been received when an input for a first operation is received after an input for a second operation is received, or when an input for both the first and second operations is received simultaneously. Alternatively, when an input for an open or close operation is received, it may be deemed to have been received regardless of whether or not an input for a second operation is received.

[0586] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, it was explained that in SG4, the target operation screen DAA is simply displayed on the terminal-side display unit 103, but this is not limited to this. For example, as shown in Figure 37, the transmission control unit 107c may further display the operation guidance screen DL on the terminal-side display unit 103 between the time the input of the first operation is received via the release button DA1, etc., and the time the input of the second operation is received, and then hide the operation guidance screen DL after the input of the second operation is received.

[0587] Here, the operation guidance screen DL is a screen that displays operation guidance information related to the second operation (for example, information indicating the direction of operation for the open operation (or close operation)), and may be positioned to overlap with the open button DA1 (or close button DA2), as shown in Figure 37.

[0588] Furthermore, the specific configuration of the operation guidance screen DL is arbitrary, but for example, it may simply be a screen that displays operation guidance information, or it may be a screen that, in addition to displaying operation guidance information, can also accept input for a second operation.

[0589] This display allows for the display of operation guidance information, enabling accurate execution of the second operation. Furthermore, after the input for the second operation is received, the operation guidance screen DL can be hidden, preventing the operation guidance screen DL from interfering with other operations and / or the display of other information on the terminal device 100.

[0590] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, it was explained that if the input for the second operation is not received within a predetermined time after the input for the first operation is received via the release button DA1, etc., the transmission control unit 107c does not consider the input for the release operation, etc. to have been received and does not allow the terminal-side communication unit 101 to transmit the first operation instruction information to the switchgear 1. However, the embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the input for the second operation may be accepted indefinitely after the input for the first operation has been received, and when the input for the second operation is received, it may be considered that the input for the release operation, etc. has been received and the terminal-side communication unit 101 may transmit the first operation instruction information to the switchgear 1.

[0591] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, it was explained that the first notification unit 107d hides the first notification information after a predetermined time has elapsed since the input of the first operation was received via the release button DA1, etc., but this is not limited to this. For example, instead of hiding the first notification information (or in conjunction with hiding the first notification information), the first notification information may be hidden after the second operation is received before the predetermined time has elapsed since the input of the first operation was received.

[0592] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, it was explained that when the input for the first operation is received via the stop button DA3 in SG5, the input for the stop operation is deemed to have been received regardless of whether or not the input for the second operation is received via the operation screen DA. However, this is not limited to this. For example, the input for the stop operation may be deemed to have been received when the input for the first operation is received and the input for the second operation is received via the operation screen DA.

[0593] (Regarding the change process) In the above embodiment, the modification unit 64c was described as modifying the first or second authentication information stored in the control unit 60 based on the modified authentication information received from the first terminal device 100a, but it is not limited to this. For example, the first or second authentication information stored in the control unit 60 may be modified based on the modified authentication information received from the second terminal device 100b or an external device (e.g., a management server).

[0594] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, it was explained that the modification unit 64c modifies the first authentication information or the second authentication information without requiring that the first terminal device 100a receive authentication information identical to the first authentication information or the second authentication information stored in the control unit 60. However, the modification is not limited to this, and for example, the modification of the first authentication information or the second authentication information may be performed on the condition that the first terminal device 100a receives authentication information identical to the first authentication information or the second authentication information stored in the control unit 60.

[0595] (Note) The terminal device described in Appendix 1 is a terminal device capable of communicating with each of a plurality of opening and closing devices provided in each of a plurality of openings in a building, and is equipped with a display means capable of receiving input for operations relating to the plurality of opening and closing devices, and comprises a plurality of operation screens corresponding to the plurality of opening and closing devices, the display means capable of displaying a plurality of operation screens for receiving input for operations relating to the corresponding opening and closing devices, and a display control means that causes the display means to display only the target operation screen which is an operation screen corresponding to an opening and closing device that is a candidate for operation, from among the plurality of operation screens, the display control means switches from the target operation screen to another operation screen when an input for a switching operation to switch the operation screen is received via the display means in an operation display state in which the target operation screen is displayed on the display means, and causes the display control means to display the switched operation screen as the target operation screen.
