Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In the conventional system described above, as stated above, the management device switches the control mode of the terminal device to work mode or non-work mode based on the result of matching authentication information and verification information. For example, when the management device manages a switchgear and / or peripheral devices installed around it, if the state of the switchgear and / or peripheral devices is not suitable for non-work mode (for example, if some management work related to the switchgear is not completed), the control mode of the terminal device will switch to non-work mode if the authentication information and verification information are matched. This makes it difficult to properly manage the switchgear and / or peripheral devices. Therefore, there was room for improvement from the perspective of effectively managing the switchgear and / or peripheral devices.

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the problems of the prior art described above and to provide a management system and a management program that enable effective management of switchgear and / or peripheral devices. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The management system according to claim 2 is the management system according to claim 1, wherein the state determination means acquires operation completion status information indicating that the operating state of the switchgear or peripheral device is the operation completion status, and / or reason information indicating the reason why the operating state of the switchgear or peripheral device cannot be set to the operation completion status, and determines whether the operating state of all the switchgear or / or peripheral devices operated by the operator corresponding to the operation completion status information and / or reason information is the operation completion status, based on whether or not the operation completion status information and / or reason information has been acquired.

[0008] The management system according to claim 3 is the management system according to claim 2, in which, when there are multiple workers, multiple reason information at least one of the following A selection means for causing the worker to select, and selected by the worker via the selection means The aforementioned reason information The selection means includes a state determination means capable of obtaining at least one of the following, and an operator determination means that, when the work completion information is obtained by the work completion acquisition means, determines whether the operator corresponding to the work completion information is the last operator to complete the management work, and the selection means, based on the determination result of the operator determination means, determines the operator via the selection means Selectable To make at least one of the aforementioned multiple pieces of reason information different.

[0009] The management system according to claim 4 is a management system according to any one of claims 1 to 3, comprising: operation history acquisition means for acquiring operation history information indicating the operation history of the switchgear and / or peripheral devices operated by the operator; and notification means for notifying information regarding the operating status of the switchgear and / or peripheral devices, wherein the status determination means identifies, based on the operation history information acquired by the operation history acquisition means, the switchgear and / or peripheral devices that are in an incomplete operation state, which are among all the switchgear and / or peripheral devices operated by the operator corresponding to the operation history information, and the notification means notifies incomplete operation state information indicating that the status determination means has identified the switchgear and / or peripheral devices that are in an incomplete operation state.

[0010] The management system according to claim 5 is the management system according to claim 4, wherein the completed operation state includes a fully closed state in which the opening is fully closed by the opening / closing body of the opening / closing device, and the incomplete operation state includes a fully open state in which the opening is fully opened by the opening / closing body of the opening / closing device and a half-open state in which the opening is half-open by the opening / closing body of the opening / closing device.

[0011] The management program according to claim 6 is a management program for a management system that manages opening and closing devices and / or peripheral devices provided around at least one opening in a building, wherein the computer functions as: a work completion acquisition means for acquiring work completion information indicating that an operator performing management work related to the opening and closing devices, the peripheral devices, and / or other equipment other than the opening and closing devices and the peripheral devices has completed the management work; a state determination means for determining whether the operation status of all the opening and closing devices and / or peripheral devices operated by the operator corresponding to the work completion information is in an operation completion state, meaning that the operation has been completed, when the work completion acquisition means acquires the work completion information; and a registration means for registering the work completion information acquired by the work completion acquisition means based on the determination result of the state determination means. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] The management system described in claim 1 and the management program described in claim 6 include a state determination means that determines whether the operating status of all switchgear and / or peripheral devices operated by the worker corresponding to the work completion information is in an operation completion state when work completion information is acquired by the work completion acquisition means, and a registration means that registers the work completion information acquired by the work completion acquisition means based on the determination result of the state determination means. Therefore, work completion information can be registered when the operating status of all switchgear and / or peripheral devices operated by the worker is in an operation completion state. Thus, it is possible to prevent forgetting to perform management tasks related to switchgear and / or peripheral devices or forgetting to record the operation completion status, and to effectively manage switchgear and / or peripheral devices.

[0013] According to the management system described in claim 2, the status determination means determines whether the operating status of all switchgear and / or peripheral devices operated by the operator corresponding to the operation completion status information and / or reason information is in an operation completion state, based on whether or not operation completion status information and / or reason information has been acquired. This allows for accurate and efficient determination of whether the operating status of all switchgear and / or peripheral devices is in an operation completion state, and enables effective registration of work completion information.

[0014] According to the management system described in claim 3, the selection means makes at least one of the multiple reason information selected by the operator via the selection means different based on the determination result of the operator determination means, so that it is possible to accurately determine whether the operating status of all opening / closing devices and / or peripheral devices operated by the final operator is in an operation completion state, and the registration of work completion information can be made more accurate.

[0015] According to the management system described in claim 4, the state determination means identifies, based on the operation history information acquired by the operation history acquisition means, the opening / closing devices or / and peripheral devices in an operation incomplete state among all the opening / closing devices or / and peripheral devices operated by the worker corresponding to the operation history information. The notification means notifies the operation incomplete state information indicating that the opening / closing devices or / and peripheral devices in an operation incomplete state have been identified by the state determination means. Therefore, the operation incomplete state information can be notified to the worker, and the worker can grasp the opening / closing devices or / and peripheral devices in an operation incomplete state.

[0016] According to the management system described in claim 5, the operation complete state includes the fully closed state, and the operation incomplete state includes the fully open state and the half-open state. Therefore, it is possible to avoid an intruder from entering through the opening in the operation complete state, and it becomes easier to ensure the security of the building.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0018] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, embodiments of the management system and management program according to this invention will be described in detail. First, after explaining [I] the basic concept of the embodiment, [II] the specific content of the embodiment will be described, and finally, [III] modifications to the embodiment will be described. However, the present invention is not limited by the embodiments.

[0019] 〔I〕Basic Concept of the Embodiment First, the basic concept of the embodiment will be explained. The embodiment generally relates to a management system for managing opening and closing devices and / or peripheral devices provided around opening and closing devices, which are provided in at least one or more openings in a building.

[0020] Here, the specific structure and type of "building" are arbitrary, but the concept includes, for example, public facilities (such as transportation facilities like train stations), commercial facilities, office buildings, and multi-unit residential buildings such as apartments and condominiums.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Furthermore, while the specific type of "opening / closing device" is arbitrary, the concept includes, for example, all types of electrically driven shutter devices, door devices (such as heat-resistant doors), and / or automatic door devices.

[0023] Furthermore, while the specific types of "peripheral devices" are arbitrary, the concept includes, for example, switch boxes, key boxes, and / or relay devices that relay predetermined signals received from external devices (for example, terminals installed in the building's administration building (e.g., stationary, well-known personal computers; hereinafter referred to as "administration terminals"), or mobile terminals, etc.) to the switching device.

[0024] In the following embodiment, we will describe a case where the opening / closing device is an electrically operated shutter that opens and closes vertically and is installed at the entrance / exit of a building such as a public facility, and the peripheral device is a switch box installed around the opening / closing device.

[0025] [II] Specific details of the embodiment Next, the specific details of the embodiment will be described.

[0026] (composition) First, the configuration of the management system 1 according to the embodiment, and the switchgear 10 and peripheral devices 80 managed by the management system 1 will be described.

[0027] (Configuration - Switching device) First, let's explain the configuration of the switchgear 10.

[0028] In the following explanation, the X direction in Figure 1 is referred to as the left-right direction of the opening / closing device 10 (-X direction is the left direction of the opening / closing device 10, and +X direction is the right direction of the opening / closing device 10), the Y direction in Figure 1 is referred to as the up-down direction of the opening / closing device 10 (+Y direction is the up direction of the opening / closing device 10, and -Y direction is the down direction of the opening / closing device 10), 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 10, and the direction leading to the back of the page in Figure 1 is the rear direction of the opening / closing device 10).

[0029] The opening / closing device 10 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. Each opening / closing device 10 is installed in each opening 3 and, as shown in Figure 1, comprises a storage unit 20, a guide rail 30, an opening / closing body 40, an opening / closing mechanism 50, a winding shaft (not shown), and a control system 60. Unless otherwise specified, the configuration of the opening / closing device 10 is the same as that of a known shutter device and will not be described further.

[0030] Furthermore, the connection configuration of each component that makes up this switching device 10 is set as shown below.

[0031] In other words, the switching-side control unit 70 of the control system 60, which will be described later, is electrically connected to the switch 50, the operating unit 61 of the control system 60, the upper limit detection unit 62, the lower limit detection unit 63, the seat plate switch 64, and the peripheral device 80 (specifically, the first peripheral device 80a described later) via wiring 4. This allows for direct or indirect communication or power supply between the switching-side control unit 70 and each of the switch 50, the operating unit 61, the upper limit detection unit 62, the lower limit detection unit 63, the seat plate switch 64, and the peripheral device 80.

[0032] (Configuration - Opening / closing device - Storage section) The storage section 20 is a hollow body for housing the various parts of the opening / closing device 10. As shown in Figure 1, this storage section 20 is installed above the upper end of the opening 3. The opening / closing mechanism 50, the winding shaft, and the upper limit detection unit 62, lower limit detection unit 63, cord reel 65, and opening / closing side control unit 70 of the control system 60 (described later) are housed inside the storage section 20. When the opening / closing body 40 is wound up by the winding shaft, at least a part of the opening / closing body 40 is also housed inside the storage section 20.

[0033] (Configuration - Opening / closing device - Guide rail) The guide rail 30 guides the opening / closing body 40 to move along the opening / closing direction (vertical direction) of the opening 3. The guide rail 30 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 10 in a direction roughly aligned with the vertical direction, and is fixed directly to the wall of the building or indirectly to it via a base material (not shown).

[0034] (Configuration - Opening / closing device - Opening / closing body) The opening / closing body 40 is a shielding means that switches the open / closed state of the opening / closing body 40 by moving it in a closed or open position by the winding shaft.

[0035] Here, the term "opening / closing state of the opening / closing body 40" is a concept that includes the fully closed state in which the opening 3 is completely closed by the opening / closing body 40, the fully open state in which the opening 3 is completely opened by the opening / closing body 40, and the half-open state in which the opening 3 is half-open by the opening / closing body 40.

[0036] In this embodiment, the method for determining the "open / closed state of the opening / closing body 40" is determined based on the detection results of the upper limit detection unit 62 and the lower limit detection unit 63.

[0037] Specifically, as described later, if the upper limit detection unit 62 determines that the closing end of the opening / closing body 40 has reached the fully open position described later, it is identified as being in a fully open state. Also, as described later, if the lower limit detection unit 63 determines that the closing end of the opening / closing body 40 has reached the fully closed position described later, it is identified as being in a fully closed state. Furthermore, if the upper limit detection unit 62 and the lower limit detection unit 63 determine that the closing end of the opening / closing body 40 has not reached the fully open position or the fully closed position described later, it is identified as being in a half-open state.

[0038] As shown in Figure 1, the opening / closing body 40 is composed of a plurality of slats 41, and the plurality of slats 41 are fitted together and connected to each other via fitting portions (not shown) formed at both the upper and lower ends of each slat 41. Furthermore, each of the left and right ends of the opening / closing body 40 is inserted into the inside of the guide rail 30 via the U-shaped open end of the guide rail 30, allowing it to slide inside the guide rail 30 in the vertical direction, and is restricted from falling out of the guide rail 30 in the front and back direction.

[0039] Furthermore, a seat plate 42 is connected to the closed end of the opening / closing body 40 (specifically, the lower end of the opening / closing body 40). This seat plate 42 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 closed end of the opening / closing body 40 in the left-right direction.

[0040] (Configuration - Switching device - Switching machine) The opening / closing mechanism 50 is a driving means that electrically opens and closes the opening / closing body 40 by controlling the rotation of the winding shaft. This opening / closing mechanism 50 is composed of, for example, a known opening / closing mechanism, and as shown in Figure 1, is installed inside the storage section 20 in the vicinity of the winding shaft.

[0041] (Configuration - Opening / closing device - Winding shaft) The winding shaft is a pivot shaft for closing or opening the opening / closing body 40. This winding shaft is constructed using, for example, a known winding shaft, and is installed along the left-right direction.

[0042] Furthermore, a connecting slat (not shown) connected to the upper end of the opening / closing body 40 is connected to this winding shaft, and by rotating this winding shaft, the opening / closing body 40 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 50 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 50.

[0043] (Configuration - Switchgear - Control System) Next, the configuration of the control system 60 will be described.

[0044] The control system 60 is for controlling the opening / closing device 10 and, as shown in Figure 1, comprises an operating unit 61, an upper limit detection unit 62, a lower limit detection unit 63, a seat plate switch 64, a cord reel 65, and an opening / closing side control unit 70.

[0045] (Configuration - Switching device - Control system - Operating unit) The operating unit 61 is an operating means for performing operations on the opening / closing body 40 of the opening / closing device 10 (for example, opening operation, closing operation, and stopping operation). This operating unit 61 is configured using, for example, a known operating means for shutter devices (for example, a wired or wireless operating device), and is provided near the opening 3 as shown in Figure 1.

[0046] Furthermore, while the method of installing the operating unit 61 is optional, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, it is installed by being housed inside the peripheral device 80 (specifically, the first peripheral device 80a and the second peripheral device 80b described later) that are provided around the opening / closing device 10.

[0047] (Configuration - Switching device - Control system - Upper limit detection unit) The upper limit detection unit 62 is an upper limit detection means that detects whether the closed end of the opening / closing body 40 has reached the position of the opening / closing body 40 in the fully open state (hereinafter referred to as the "fully open position"). This upper limit detection unit 62 is configured using, for example, a known detection sensor (for example, a counter-type limit switch that detects the rotational speed of the output shaft of the opening / closing mechanism 50), and as shown in Figure 1, it is installed in the vicinity of the opening / closing mechanism 50 within the storage unit 20.

[0048] (Configuration - Switching device - Control system - Lower limit detection unit) The lower limit detection unit 63 is a lower limit detection means that detects whether the closed end of the opening / closing body 40 has reached the position of the opening / closing body 40 in the fully closed state (hereinafter referred to as the "fully closed position"). This lower limit detection unit 63 is configured using, for example, a known detection sensor (for example, a counter-type limit switch that detects the rotational speed of the output shaft of the opening / closing mechanism 50), and as shown in Figure 1, it is installed in the vicinity of the opening / closing mechanism 50 within the storage unit 20.

[0049] (Configuration - Opening / closing device - Control system - Seat plate switch) The seat plate switch 64 is an obstacle detection means for detecting obstacles. Here, "obstacle" means anything that hinders the opening and closing movement (specifically, the closing movement) of the opening / closing body 40, such as people, animals, or objects.

[0050] This seat plate switch 64 is configured using, for example, a known wired seat plate switch (such as a microswitch), and is attached to the seat plate 42 as shown in Figure 1.

[0051] (Configuration - Switching device - Control system - Cord reel) The cord reel 65 winds up or unwinds the wiring 5 (hereinafter referred to as "seat plate side wiring 5") that connects the seat plate switch 64 and the opening / closing side control unit 70 in a wired communication manner, so that even when the seat plate switch 64 moves in the direction of opening / closing movement in conjunction with the opening / closing movement of the opening / closing device 10, the unwinding length of the wiring 5 is always maintained at an appropriate length. This cord reel 65 is constructed using, for example, a known cord reel, and is provided near the opening 3 as shown in Figure 1.

[0052] (Configuration - Switching device - Control system - Switching side control unit) The switching-side control unit 70 is a device that interlocks each part of the switching device 10, and as shown in Figure 2, it comprises a first switching-side communication unit 71, a second switching-side communication unit 72, a switching-side power supply unit 73, a switching-side control unit 74, and a switching-side storage unit 75.

This first switching-side communication unit 71 is configured using known communication means that communicate using a wired communication network, for example.

[0054] (Configuration - Switching device - Control system - Switching-side control unit - Second switching-side communication unit) The second switching-side communication unit 72 does not communicate wirelessly between the switching-side control unit 70 and the management device 110 described later, but it is a second switching-side communication means for communicating between the switching-side control unit 70 and the terminal device 100 described later (that is, from the viewpoint of reducing the installation cost of communication equipment, the switching device 10 is configured so that it cannot communicate wirelessly with the management device 110 described later). This second switching-side communication unit 72 is configured using, for example, a known communication means for short-range wireless communication that performs short-range wireless communication using a wireless communication network (for example, a communication means using a short-range wireless communication standard such as Bluetooth®).

[0055] However, this is not limited to this, and for example, communication means using standards other than short-range wireless communication standards (for example, communication means using long-range wireless communication standards such as 4G, 5G, or LTE®) may be used to enable wireless communication with the management device 110 described later.

[0056] (Configuration - Switching device - Control system - Switching side control unit - Switching side power supply unit) The switching-side power supply unit 73 is a switching-side power supply means that supplies power from a commercial power source (not shown) or a battery (e.g., a battery) to each part of the switching-side control unit 70, as well as to the operation unit 61, the upper limit detection unit 62, the lower limit detection unit 63, the seat plate switch 64, or peripheral devices 80 (specifically, the first peripheral device 80a described later).

[0057] (Configuration - Switching device - Control system - Switching side control unit - Switching side control unit) The switching-side control unit 74 is a switching-side control means that controls each part of the switching-side control unit 70. Specifically, it is a computer configured with a CPU, various programs interpreted and executed on the CPU (including basic control programs such as the OS and application programs launched on the OS to realize specific functions), and internal memory such as RAM for storing programs and various data (the same applies to the configuration of the peripheral-side control unit 93 of the first peripheral device 80a described later, the configuration of the terminal-side control unit 105 of the terminal device 100 described later, and the configuration of the management-side control unit 112 of the management device 110 described later).

[0058] (Configuration - Switching device - Control system - Switching-side control unit - Switching-side memory unit) The switch-off side storage unit 75 is a switch-off side storage means that stores programs and various data necessary for the operation of the switch-off side control unit 70, and is configured using a rewritable recording medium, for example, a non-volatile recording medium such as flash memory can be used (the same applies to the configuration of the peripheral side storage unit 94 of the first peripheral device 80a described later, the configuration of the terminal side storage unit 106 of the terminal device 100 described later, and the configuration of the management side storage unit 113 of the management device 110 described later).

[0059] (Configuration of peripheral devices) Returning to Figure 1, the configuration of the peripheral device 80 will now be described.

[0060] The peripheral devices 80 are devices provided around each of the multiple switchgear 10. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, the first peripheral device 80a and the second peripheral device 80b are provided around the corresponding switchgear 10, respectively.

[0061] (Configuration - Peripheral Devices - First Peripheral Device) The first peripheral device 80a is provided as a single unit around a specific switchgear 10 among a plurality of switchgears 10, and is configured, for example, using a known switch box or the like capable of housing the operating section 61 of the switchgear 10.

[0062] Specifically, it is configured using a switch box equipped with a locking means that allows the locking and / or unlocking operation (in this embodiment, only the unlocking operation) of the door section 82, described later, using the terminal device 100 described later. More specifically, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, it comprises a peripheral device body 81, a door section 82, a locking section (not shown), and a peripheral control unit 90.

[0063] (Configuration - Peripheral Devices - First Peripheral Device - Peripheral Device Main Unit) Returning to Figure 1, the peripheral device body 81 is the basic structure of the first peripheral device 80a and is a storage means for housing the operating part 61 of the opening / closing device 10 and the key for the locking part of the second peripheral device 80b (not shown; hereinafter referred to as the "key for the second peripheral device 80b"). This peripheral device body 81 is, for example, a hollow metallic (or resin) body with an open front (for example, a box-shaped body with an opening located at the front (not shown; hereinafter referred to as the "peripheral side opening")), and as shown in Figure 1, it is installed on the indoor surface (or outdoor surface) of the building frame 2 and fixed to the building frame 2 by fasteners or the like.

[0064] (Configuration - Peripheral Devices - First Peripheral Device - Door Section) The door section 82 is for opening and closing the peripheral opening. This door section 82 is constructed using, for example, a known metallic (or resin) door member (for example, a hinged door), and as shown in Figure 1, it is provided to cover the entire peripheral opening and is rotatably connected to the peripheral device body 81 via a hinge member (not shown).

[0065] (Configuration - Peripheral Devices - First Peripheral Device - Locking Unit) The locking unit is for locking and unlocking the door section 82. This locking unit is configured using, for example, a known electric locking device (for example, an electric locking device that can automatically perform an unlocking operation when it receives the unlocking operation information described later, and then automatically perform a locking operation when the door section 82 is closed (it may also be an electric locking device that can be unlocked using a key)). This locking unit is provided near the door section 82 and is connected to the peripheral device body 81 and / or the door section 82 by fasteners or the like.

[0097] (Configuration - Terminal device - Terminal-side control unit - Status determination unit) The status determination unit 105b is a status determination means that, when work completion information is acquired by the work completion acquisition unit 105a, determines whether the operating status of all opening / closing devices 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 (specifically, the first peripheral device 80a) operated by the operator corresponding to the work completion information is in an operation completion state.

[0098] Here, "operating state of the opening / closing device 10 and / or peripheral device 80" is a concept that includes both the completed operation state and the incomplete operation state in this embodiment.

[0099] (Regarding configuration - terminal device - terminal-side control unit - status determination unit - operation completion status) Of these, "operation completion state" means the state in which the operation of the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral device 80 has been completed. Specifically, this refers to the state in which, after an operation related to the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral device 80 has been performed via the terminal device 100, it has been determined that the operation of the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral device 80 has been completed.

[0100] In this embodiment, the completed operation state of the opening / closing device 10 is determined when a closing operation is performed on the opening / closing device 10 via the terminal device 100, and the lower limit detection unit 63 of the opening / closing device 10 detects that the closing end of the opening / closing body 40 of the opening / closing device 10 has reached the fully closed position (limit position) (i.e., the opening / closing state of the opening 3 becomes fully closed by the opening / closing body 40), the terminal device 100 receives limit position arrival information from the opening / closing device 10 to that effect, and thereafter a specific operation to identify the fully closed state (for example, operating a specific operation button displayed on the terminal output unit 103) is accepted via the terminal-side operation unit 102 (i.e., the opening / closing state of the opening 3 corresponding to the opening / closing body 40 is fully closed).

[0101] However, this is not limited to this, and may also include, for example, a state in which the above-mentioned specific operation is received via the terminal-side operation unit 102 after a closing operation related to the opening / closing device 10 has been performed via the terminal device 100.

[0108] In the embodiment, the operating state of the opening / closing device 10 corresponds to a state in which, although operations on the opening / closing device 10 (specifically, opening operation, closing operation, and stopping operation) are performed via the terminal device 100, the lower limit detection unit 63 of the opening / closing device 10 does not detect that the closing end of the opening / closing body 40 of the opening / closing device 10 has reached the fully closed position, and the terminal device 100 has not received limit position arrival information from the opening / closing device 10 (i.e., the opening / closing state of the opening 3 corresponding to the opening / closing body 40 includes the fully open state and the half-open state). Alternatively, the lower limit detection unit 63 of the opening / closing device 10 detects that the closing end of the opening / closing body 40 of the opening / closing device 10 has reached the fully closed position due to a closing operation on the opening / closing device 100, and the terminal device 100 receives limit position arrival information from the opening / closing device 10, but thereafter, a specific operation to identify the fully closed state is not accepted via the terminal-side operation unit 102.

[0109] Furthermore, the operating state of the peripheral device 80 includes a state in which a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has not elapsed since the unlocking operation button described later was operated.

[0110] The operating status of the opening / closing device 10 and / or the peripheral device 80 can indicate, for example, whether the opening / closing device 10 and / or the peripheral device 80 is not in operation, in operation, or completed, making it easier to understand the details of the operating status of the opening / closing device 10 and / or the peripheral device 80. In addition, it is possible to prevent intruders from entering through the opening 3 when the operation is completed, making it easier to ensure the security of the building.

[0164] Furthermore, the "first notification process" is a process that notifies the management work not being completed (hereinafter referred to as "first notification information") if the management operation history acquisition unit 112e has not acquired work completion information from the terminal device 100 (specifically, the first terminal device 100a and the second terminal device 100b) even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the end time of the management work.

[0165] Furthermore, the "second notification process" is a process in which, during management operations, if the operation history information acquired from the terminal devices 100 (specifically, the first terminal device 100a and the second terminal device 100b) by the management operation history acquisition unit 112e is not updated even after a predetermined time has elapsed, information indicating that the operation history information has not been updated (hereinafter referred to as "second notification information") is notified.

For example, before a resident M performs any work, the resident M may contact the building manager M3 or other manager with the above-mentioned information, and the building manager M3 or other manager may input the contacted information into the work request table 113a via a management terminal to store it. Alternatively, before a resident M performs any work, the resident M may directly input the above-mentioned information into the work request table 113a via a terminal device 100 to store it.

[0179] (Configuration - Management System - Management Device - Management Side Storage Unit - Operation Authority Table) The operation permission table 113b is an operation permission information storage means for storing operation permission information, and as shown in Figure 8, it is configured by associating the item "Guest Type Information" and the item "Operation Permission Information" with the information corresponding to each item.

[0188] Of these, the information corresponding to the item "Building Identification Information" is building identification information, which, for example, as shown in Figure 10, is the name of the building, such as "Building 1".

[0189] Furthermore, the information corresponding to the item "Terminal Identification Information" is terminal identification information, and for example, as shown in Figure 10, it is the ID of terminal device 100, "1001," etc.

[0190] Furthermore, the information corresponding to the item "Resident's Affiliation Information" is the resident's affiliation information, and for example, as shown in Figure 10, it would include "XXX Company," which is the affiliation of resident M.

[0191] Furthermore, the information corresponding to the item "Visitor Identification Information" is the visitor identification information, and for example, as shown in Figure 10, this includes the visitor's name, "Ichiro Tanaka."

[0192] Furthermore, the information corresponding to the item "Scheduled Work Start Date and Time Information" is the scheduled work start date and time information. For example, as shown in Figure 10, this could be "2022 / 8 / 1 / 23:00" which means the scheduled work start date and time is 23:00 on August 1, 2022, or "-" which indicates that the scheduled work start date and time was not recorded.

[0193] Furthermore, the information corresponding to the item "Scheduled work completion date and time information" is the scheduled work completion date and time information. For example, as shown in Figure 10, this could be "2022 / 8 / 2 / 3:00" which means the scheduled work completion date and time is August 2, 2022 at 3:00, or "-" which indicates that the scheduled work completion date and time was not recorded.

[0194] Furthermore, the information corresponding to the item "Work Start Date and Time Information" is the work start date and time information (start work time information) that indicates the start date and time of the specified work performed by resident M. For example, as shown in Figure 10, the start date and time of the specified work = 23:10 on August 1, 2022, is "2022 / 8 / 1 / 23:10".

[0195] Furthermore, the information corresponding to the item "Task Completion Date and Time Information" is the task completion date and time information (completed task time information) that indicates the completion date and time of the specified task performed by resident M. For example, as shown in Figure 10, the completion date and time of the specified task = 2:40 AM on August 2, 2022, is "2022 / 8 / 2 / 2:40".

For example, as shown in Figure 10, this includes "Yes" indicating that there are communication errors / application errors, and "No" indicating that there are no communication errors / application errors.

[0197] Furthermore, the information corresponding to the item "Work Completion Registration Status Information" is work completion registration status information indicating whether or not work completion information has been registered. For example, as shown in Figure 10, this includes "Registered (Final)" which indicates that work completion information corresponding to the final worker has been registered, and "Registered" which indicates that work completion information corresponding to workers other than the final worker has been registered.

[0198] Furthermore, the information corresponding to the item "Information on the reason for not registering the start of work" is information on the reason for not registering the start of work, which indicates the reason why the start date and time of the prescribed work performed by resident M could not be obtained.

[0199] Furthermore, the information corresponding to the item "Information on the reason for not registering the completion of work" is information on the reason for not registering the completion of work, which indicates the reason why the completion date and time of the prescribed work performed by resident M could not be obtained. For example, as shown in Figure 10, this could include "due to communication failure" or "-" if there is no such reason.

[0200] Furthermore, the information corresponding to the item "Information on the reason for incomplete operation" is information on the reason for incomplete operation indicating the reason why the operating status of the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral device 80 is in an incomplete operation state. For example, as shown in Figure 10, this includes "First reason information," which is the reason (specifically, the reason information), and "-" which indicates that there is no reason.

[0201] Furthermore, the method for storing various types of information in the management DB 113d is optional, but for example, after the work completion information is registered or / or before such registration, it may be stored based on operation history information obtained from the terminal device 100, information stored in the work application table 113a, or / or information received from the management terminal (specifically, information other than operation history information received in the history editing process).

[0202] (process) Next, we will describe the processes performed by the terminal-side control unit 105 of the terminal device 100 and / or the management-side control unit 112 of the management device 110, which are configured in this way. The processes performed by these terminal-side control units 105 and / or the management-side control unit 112 are broadly classified into a first management process, a display process, and a second management process. The first management process, the display process, and the second management process will be described below. In the following description, steps will be abbreviated as "S" in the descriptions of each process shown in Figures 11 to 15.

[0203] (Processing - First Management Process) First, I will explain the first management process.

[0204] The first management process is a management process for managing the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80.

[0205] The timing of executing this first management process is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, it will be described as being started after the power to the switchgear 10, peripheral device 80 (specifically, the first peripheral device 80a), and management system 1 is turned on.

[0206] In this embodiment, although the management system 1 includes multiple terminal devices 100, the content of the first management process executed by these terminal devices 100 is the same. Therefore, Figure 11 will describe the first management process executed by the terminal device (hereinafter referred to as the "target terminal device") and the management device 110.

[0207] Furthermore, the prerequisites for the first management process are as follows in this embodiment.

[0208] In other words, it is explained that all opening and closing devices 10 installed in the building are in a fully closed state, and all locking parts of peripheral devices 80 installed in the building are in a locked state. Furthermore, it is explained that the work request table 113a stores building identification information corresponding to the target terminal device, scheduled work start date and time information, scheduled work completion date and time information, terminal identification information, resident affiliation information, resident identification information, resident type information, resident contact information, and authentication code information.

[0209] When the first management process is initiated, as shown in Figure 11, the communication control unit 112c of the management device 110 in SA1 causes the management communication unit 111 to send information including download destination information and authentication code information (specifically, the authentication code information corresponding to the target terminal device from the authentication code information stored in the work application table 113a) to the target terminal device at the specified date and time.

[0210] Here, the method for setting the transmission date and time is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, the transmission date and time are set to coincide with the start date and time when the target terminal device can log in to the management device 110 (hereinafter referred to as the "login start date and time").

[0211] For example, if the target terminal device is the first terminal device 100a or the second terminal device 100b, and the login start date and time are set to a date and time a predetermined time before the scheduled start date and time of the management work (for example, two hours before the scheduled start date and time of the management work), the transmission date and time may be set to the login start date and time.

[0212] This configuration allows the target terminal device to log in to the management device 110 almost simultaneously with the transmission time, making it easier to perform the login before management work.

[0213] However, this is not the only option. For example, you may set the sending date and time to not match the login start date and time. For instance, you may set the sending date and time to be earlier (or later) than the login start date and time.

[0214] Furthermore, if the target terminal device is the third terminal device 100c, the transmission date and time may be set regardless of the scheduled start date and time of a predetermined task (e.g., building patrol work). For example, it may be set to a date and time after a predetermined time has elapsed since the first management process was started (specifically, a date and time before the building manager M3 performs the predetermined task (e.g., patrol work)).

[0215] In SB1, the terminal-side control unit 105 of the target terminal device determines whether or not the information, including the download destination information, transmitted in SA1 has been received.

[0216] Then, the terminal-side control unit 105 of the target terminal device waits until it is determined that the above information has been received (SB1, No), and if it is determined that the above information has been received (SB1, Yes), it proceeds to SB2.

[0217] In SB2, the terminal-side control unit 105 of the target terminal device executes a process (hereinafter referred to as "login process") for the target terminal device to log in to the management device 110.

[0218] The specific details of this login process are arbitrary, but in this embodiment, it will be executed as follows.

[0219] Specifically, first, when a predetermined operation is received via the terminal-side operation unit 102 of the target terminal device, the operation application is installed from the download destination information contained in the information received by SB1, and then the operation application is launched.

[0220] Next, a display area (hereinafter referred to as the "login display area") not shown is generated on the screen of the terminal output unit 103 of the target terminal device, and the identification information contained in the information received by SB1 is input to the input area displayed in the generated login display area via the terminal operation unit 102. After that, when a predetermined operation is received via the terminal operation unit 102, the terminal control unit 105 of the target terminal device transmits information including the authentication code information and terminal identification information (specifically, terminal identification information stored in the terminal storage unit 106) to the management device 110.

[0221] Next, the management control unit 112 of the management device 110, after receiving the transmitted information, determines whether the authentication code information contained in the information matches the authentication code information stored in the work request table 113a that corresponds to the terminal identification information contained in the information.

[0222] If a match is determined, the management control unit 112 of the management device 110 will log the target terminal device into the management device 110.

[0223] In this case, as shown in Figures 16 and 17, the terminal-side control unit 105 of the target terminal device generates a display area DA1 (hereinafter referred to as "operation display area DA1") on the screen of the terminal-side output unit 103, and displays various buttons and the like in the generated operation display area DA1.

[0224] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 16 and 17, the details of the various buttons displayed above include the following: switch operation buttons DB1 to DB8 which enable operation of the switch 10 and display the operating status of the switch 10; peripheral device operation button DB9 which enables operation of the peripheral device 80 (specifically, the first peripheral device 80a) and display the operating status of the peripheral device 80; installation location display processing button SB which instructs the execution of installation location display processing; and registration button RB which instructs the registration of work completion information.

[0225] Furthermore, while the method of displaying the above-mentioned opening / closing device operation buttons and / or the above-mentioned peripheral device operation buttons is optional, in this embodiment they are displayed as follows.

[0226] Specifically, the building identification information corresponding to the terminal identification information of the target terminal device is extracted from the building identification information stored in the work request table 113a of the management device 110. Next, the switchgear identification information and / or peripheral device identification information corresponding to the extracted building identification information is extracted from the switchgear identification information and / or peripheral device identification information stored in the installation location table 113c. Then, as shown in Figures 16 and 17, the switchgear operation buttons and / or peripheral device operation buttons corresponding to each of the extracted switchgear identification information and / or peripheral device identification information are displayed in the operation display area DA1.

[0227] On the other hand, if it is determined that the above does not match, the management control unit 112 of the management device 110 will prevent the target terminal device from logging into the management device 110 and will send information indicating that login was not possible (hereinafter referred to as "login failure information") to the target terminal device. In this case, the terminal control unit 105 of the target terminal device will display the transmitted login failure information on the terminal output unit 103. The above process is then repeated until the target terminal device can log into the management device 110 (or, if it has been repeated a predetermined number of times or more, the first management process may be terminated).

[0228] If a communication error occurs between the target terminal device and the management device 110 during the login process, the terminal-side control unit 105 of the target terminal device will display communication error information indicating the communication error on the terminal-side output unit 103 and store it in the operation history DB 106a.

[0229] Returning to Figure 11, in SA2, the authorization granting unit 112d of the management device 110 determines whether or not the authorization granting timing has arrived.

[0230] The method for determining whether or not this authorization granting timing has arrived is arbitrary, but for example, in the login process described above, the determination may be made based on whether or not the authentication code information contained in the information sent from the target terminal device matches the authentication code information in the work request table 113a that corresponds to the terminal identification information contained in that information, whether or not a predetermined date and time (for example, the date and time of the scheduled work start date and time information in the work request table 113a that corresponds to the terminal identification information of the target terminal device, or a date and time a predetermined time before that date and time, etc.) has arrived, or whether or not information indicating an instruction to grant operation authorization information has been received from the management terminal, etc.

[0231] Here, if the authentication code information matches the above, if the specified date and time arrives, or if the above information is received, it may be determined that the timing for granting authority has arrived. If the authentication code information does not match the above, if the specified date and time has not arrived, or if the above information has not been received, it may be determined that the timing for granting authority has not arrived.

[0232] Then, the authorization granting unit 112d of the management device 110 waits until it is determined that the authorization granting timing has arrived (SA2, No), and if it is determined that the authorization granting timing has arrived (SA2, Yes), it proceeds to SA3.

[0233] In SA3, the authorization granting unit 112d of the management device 110 causes the management communication unit 111 to transmit operation authorization information to the target terminal device, and then proceeds to SA4.

[0234] The method for transmitting this operation permission information is optional, but in this embodiment, operation permission information corresponding to the type of resident M is transmitted to the target terminal device.

[0235] Specifically, the system extracts the resident type information corresponding to the terminal identification information of the target terminal device from the resident type information stored in the work request table 113a, then extracts the operation permission information corresponding to the extracted resident type information from the operation permission information stored in the operation permission table 113b, and transmits the extracted operation permission information to the target terminal device.

[0236] For example, if the resident M is the operator of the opening / closing device M1, the authorization unit 112d of the management device 110 extracts the first operation authorization information from the operation authorization table 113b, and transmits the said first operation authorization information to the target terminal device (specifically, the first terminal device 100a).

[0237] This allows the first operation authorization information to be transmitted to the first terminal device 100a, enabling the operation of the switchgear 10 and peripheral devices 80 according to the needs of the switchgear operator M1.

[0238] Furthermore, if the resident M is the same as the other equipment worker M2, the authorization unit 112d of the management device 110 extracts the second operation authorization information from the operation authorization table 113b, and transmits the said second operation authorization information to the target terminal device (specifically, the second terminal device 100b).

[0239] This allows the second operation authority information to be transmitted to the second terminal device 100b, enabling the operation of the switchgear 10 according to the needs of other equipment operator M2.

[0240] Furthermore, if the resident M is the building manager M3, the authorization unit 112d of the management device 110 extracts the third operation authorization information from the operation authorization table 113b, and transmits the said third operation authorization information to the target terminal device (specifically, the third terminal device 100c).

[0241] This allows the transmission of third operation authority information to the third terminal device 100c, enabling the operation of the switchgear 10 and peripheral devices 80 according to the needs of the building administrator M3.

[0242] With the transmission method described above, only terminal devices 100 that receive the operation authority information can operate the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80. Therefore, operation of the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 by persons without operation authority can be prevented, and management of the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 can be effectively carried out. In particular, operation authority information can be transmitted according to the type of resident M, making it possible to operate the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 according to the needs of resident M. Furthermore, for example, when transmitting operation authority information to multiple terminal devices 100, individual operation authority information can be transmitted to multiple terminal devices 100 that have downloaded the same operation application, thereby enabling application commonality.

[0243] However, this is not limited to the above; for example, the same operation permission information (e.g., any one of the first operation permission information, second operation permission information, or third operation permission information) may be sent to the target terminal device regardless of the type of resident M.

[0244] In SB3, the terminal-side control unit 105 of the target terminal device determines whether or not the operation authorization information transmitted in SA3 has been received.

[0245] Then, the terminal-side control unit 105 of the target terminal device waits until it is determined that the above operation permission information has been received (SB3, No), and if it is determined that the above operation permission information has been received (SB3, Yes), it proceeds to SB4.

[0246] In SB4, the timing determination unit 105i of the target terminal device determines whether or not the timing for management work has arrived.

[0247] The method for determining whether or not the timing for this management task has arrived is arbitrary, but for example, it may be determined based on whether or not the scheduled start date and time information for the work that corresponds to the target terminal device, obtained during the processing of SB3, has arrived. Here, if the above date and time has arrived, it is determined that the timing for the management task has arrived, and if the above date and time has not arrived, it is determined that the timing for the management task has not arrived.

[0248] The method for obtaining the above scheduled work start date and time information is arbitrary, but for example, it may be obtained by extracting the above scheduled work start date and time information corresponding to the terminal identification information of the target terminal device from the scheduled work start date and time information in the work application table 113a of the management device 110. Alternatively, it may be obtained by receiving the above scheduled work start date and time information from the management terminal. Alternatively, it may be obtained when the above scheduled work start date and time information is input via the terminal-side operation unit 102 of the target terminal device.

[0249] When the timing determination unit 105i of the target terminal device determines that the management operation timing has not arrived (SB4, No), it proceeds to SB5. On the other hand, when it is determined that the management operation timing has arrived (SB4, Yes), after causing the terminal-side communication unit 101 to transmit arrival information indicating that the management operation timing has arrived to the management device 110, it proceeds to SB6.

[0250] In SB5, the terminal-side processing control unit 105j of the target terminal device controls to disable the execution of the operation process and enables the execution of the related process (that is, when it is determined that the management operation timing has not arrived, it controls to disable the execution of the operation process and enables the execution of the related process), and then proceeds to SB7.

[0251] Here, the "related process" is a process related to the management operation other than the operation process, and is a process used by the terminal device 100 logged in to the management device 110. In the embodiment, it includes a registration process for registering work completion information to the management device 110 via the terminal device 100, an installation position display process for displaying the installation position information on the terminal-side output unit 103 of the terminal device 100, and the like.

[0252] By such related processes, when the terminal device 100 is logged in to the management device 110, regardless of the arrival of the management operation timing, the registration process or / and the installation position display process can be executed, and it becomes easier to execute the registration process or / and the installation position display process.

[0253] Also, although the content of the registration process is arbitrary, in the embodiment, based on the result of the process in SB7 described later, the terminal-side registration process is executed in SB8 described later, and based on the result of the process in SA4 described later, the management-side registration process is executed in SA5 described later. [[ID=十七]]

[0254] Also, although the content of the installation position display process is arbitrary, in the embodiment, it is executed as follows by the terminal-side control unit 105 of the target terminal device.

[0255] That is, when the installation position display processing button SB displayed in the operation display area DA1 shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 is operated, a display area (hereinafter referred to as the "installation position display area") not shown in the screen of the terminal-side output unit 103 may be generated, and the installation position information acquired by a predetermined method may be displayed in the generated installation position display area. Then, when a predetermined operation is performed via the terminal-side operation unit 102 (or when a predetermined time elapses), the installation position display area and the installation position information may not be displayed.

[0256] Also, the method for acquiring the installation position information is arbitrary. For example, at a timing earlier than the processing of SB5 (for example, at the time of processing of SB2 or SB3), among the building identification information stored in the work application table 113a of the management device 110, the building identification information corresponding to the terminal identification information of the target terminal device is extracted, and then, among the installation position information stored in the installation position table 113c, the installation position information corresponding to the extracted building identification information is extracted to obtain it. Alternatively, the installation position information may be acquired by receiving it from the management-side terminal at a timing earlier than the processing of SB5.

[0257] Returning to FIG. 11, in SB6, the terminal-side processing control unit 105j of the target terminal device controls to enable the execution of the operation process and also controls to enable the execution of the related process (that is, when it is determined that the management work timing has arrived, it controls to enable the execution of the operation process and also controls to enable the execution of the related process), and then proceeds to SB7.

[0258] In the embodiment, these operation processes and related processes are executable while it is determined in SB4 that the management work timing has arrived.

[0259] The content of this operation process is arbitrary, but in the embodiment, the following content shown is executed by the terminal-side control unit 105 of the target terminal device.

[0260] In other words, regarding the processing of operations related to the switchgear 10, first, when a specific switchgear operation button displayed in the operation display area DA1 shown in Figure 17 is operated, a display area (not shown) (hereinafter referred to as the "switchgear operation display area") is generated on the screen of the terminal output unit 103, and the open operation button, close operation button, and stop operation button are displayed in the generated switchgear operation display area (not shown).

[0261] Next, if the open operation button is operated, the terminal-side communication unit 101 may transmit information including open operation information to open the opening / closing body 40 of the specific opening / closing device 10, and the opening / closing device identification information corresponding to the specific opening / closing device 10 from the opening / closing device identification information included in the operation authority information (specifically, the first operation authority information, the second operation authority information, or the third operation authority information). Also, if the close operation button is operated, the terminal-side communication unit 101 may transmit information including close operation information to close the opening / closing body 40 of the specific opening / closing device 10, and the opening / closing device identification information corresponding to the specific opening / closing device 10. Also, if the stop operation button is operated, the terminal-side communication unit 101 may transmit information including stop operation information to stop the opening / closing movement of the opening / closing body 40 of the specific opening / closing device 10, and the opening / closing device identification information corresponding to the specific opening / closing device 10.

[0262] Subsequently, when a predetermined operation is performed via the terminal-side operation unit 102 (or when a predetermined time has elapsed), the opening / closing device operation display area, the open operation button, the close operation button, and the stop operation button may be hidden.

[0263] As a result, for example, the opening / closing control unit 74 of the specific opening / closing device 10 can perform the opening / closing movement of the opening / closing body 40, the closing movement of the opening / closing body 40, or stop the opening / closing movement of the opening / closing body 40 based on the information received from the target terminal device.

[0264] For example, if the target terminal device is located within an area where it can communicate with the specific switchgear 10, the open operation button, close operation button, and stop operation button will be displayed in the switchgear operation display area. However, if the target terminal device is not located within an area where it can communicate with the specific switchgear 10, the open operation button, close operation button, and stop operation button may be displayed using a predetermined display method (e.g., grayed out), and error information indicating this may be displayed.

[0265] Furthermore, regarding the processing details of operations related to the peripheral device 80, first, when a specific peripheral device operation button displayed in the operation display area DA1 shown in Figure 17 is operated, a display area (hereinafter referred to as the "peripheral device operation display area") not shown is generated on the screen of the terminal output unit 103, and a lock operation button and / or an unlock operation button is displayed in the generated peripheral device operation display area (not shown). In this embodiment, with respect to the locking part of the peripheral device 80, the locking operation of the locking part of the peripheral device 80 is automatically performed after a predetermined time has elapsed since the unlocking operation of the locking part was performed, so only the unlock operation button is displayed and the lock operation button is not displayed.

[0266] Next, in this embodiment, although the locking operation button is not displayed in the peripheral device operation display area, if the locking operation button is displayed and the locking operation button is operated, the terminal-side communication unit 101 may transmit information including locking operation information to lock the locking part of the specific peripheral device 80 and peripheral device identification information corresponding to the specific peripheral device 80 from the peripheral device identification information included in the operation authority information (specifically, the first operation authority information or the third operation authority information). Furthermore, if the unlocking operation button is operated, the terminal-side communication unit 101 may transmit information including unlocking operation information to unlock the locking part of the specific peripheral device 80 and peripheral device identification information corresponding to the specific peripheral device 80.

[0267] Subsequently, when a predetermined operation is performed via the terminal-side operation unit 102 (or when a predetermined time has elapsed), the peripheral device operation display area, the lock operation button, and the unlock operation button may be hidden.

[0268] As a result, for example, the peripheral control unit 93 of the specific peripheral device 80 can perform a locking or unlocking operation on the locking part based on the information received from the target terminal device. In particular, in this embodiment, by performing an unlocking operation on the locking part of the first peripheral device 80a, it is possible to perform a locking or unlocking operation on the locking part of the second peripheral device 80b using the key of the second peripheral device 80b stored in the first peripheral device 80a, thereby reducing the installation cost of the peripheral devices 80 while efficiently managing them.

[0269] Returning to Figure 11, in SB7, the work completion acquisition unit 105a of the target terminal device determines whether or not work completion information has been acquired.

[0270] The method for determining whether or not this work completion information has been acquired is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, the determination is made based on whether or not the registration button RB displayed in the operation display area DA1 shown in Figures 16 and 17 has been operated. If the registration button RB has been operated, the information related to that operation is considered as work completion information, and it is determined that the work completion information has been acquired. On the other hand, if the registration button RB has not been operated, it is determined that the work completion information has not been acquired.

[0271] Returning to Figure 11, the work completion acquisition unit 105a of the target terminal device, if it determines that work completion information has been acquired (SB7, Yes), starts the related terminal-side registration process (SB8), and then proceeds to SB9. On the other hand, if it determines that work completion information has not been acquired (SB7, No), it proceeds to SB9. Details of the terminal-side registration process will be described later.

[0272] Through the processing from SB4 to SB8, the execution of the operation process can be controlled based on the determination result of the timing determination unit 105i. Therefore, the operation process can be executed safely and at the appropriate timing, and the security when performing management tasks can be enhanced (the same applies to the processing of SA4 and SA5 described later). In addition, if the terminal device 100 is logged into the management device 110, the related processes can be executed regardless of whether the timing for management tasks has arrived, making it easier to execute the related processes.

[0273] In SB9, the terminal-side control unit 105 of the target terminal device determines whether or not the timing for terminating the first management process of the target terminal device (hereinafter referred to as the "second termination timing") has arrived.

[0274] The method for determining whether or not this second termination timing has arrived is arbitrary, but for example, it may be determined based on whether or not the target terminal device has logged out of the management device 110, whether or not the date and time on which the target terminal device's login to the management device 110 ends (hereinafter referred to as "login termination date and time") has arrived, or whether or not a predetermined operation has been accepted via the terminal-side operation unit 102. Here, if the device has logged out, if the login termination date and time has arrived, or if the predetermined operation has been accepted, it is determined that the second termination timing has arrived. If the device has not logged out, if the login termination date and time has not arrived, or if the predetermined operation has not been accepted, it is determined that the second termination timing has not arrived.

[0275] Then, if the terminal-side control unit 105 of the target terminal device determines that the second termination timing has arrived (SB9, Yes), it terminates the first management process of the target terminal device. On the other hand, if it determines that the second termination timing has not arrived (SB9, No), it proceeds to SB4, and the processing from SB4 to SB9 is repeated until it is determined in SB9 that the second termination timing has arrived.

[0276] Note that, for example, the processing of SB9 may be executed during the processing of SB1 to SB8. As an example, if the login end date and time has arrived during the processing of SB5, the first management process of the target terminal device may be terminated.

[0277] By repeating the processing from SB4 to SB9 as described above, the following processing is enabled.

[0278] That is, after the registration process (specifically, the terminal-side registration process and the management-side registration process described later) is executed, if the timing determination unit 105i determines that the management work timing has arrived, the terminal-side processing control unit 105j of the target terminal device enables the operation process to be executed again.

[0279] Thereby, if the management work timing has arrived even after the above registration process is executed, the operation process can be executed again, making it easier to execute the operation process.

[0280] However, it is not limited to this. For example, the terminal-side processing control unit 105j of the target terminal device may disable the re-execution of the operation process regardless of whether the management work timing has arrived after the registration process is executed.

[0281] Also, after the above registration process is executed, if it is within the login available time, the terminal-side processing control unit 105j of the target terminal device enables the registration process to be executed again.

[0282] Here, the "login available time" is the time when the terminal device 100 can log in to the management device 110. Specifically, the time from the login start date and time to the login end date and time, etc., is applicable.

[0283] Thereby, if it is within the login available time even after the above registration process is executed, the registration process can be executed again, making it easier to execute the registration process.

[0284] However, this is not limited to this; for example, the terminal-side processing control unit 105j of the target terminal device may disable the execution of the above registration process again.

[0285] In SA4, the management-side processing control unit 112b of the management device 110 determines whether or not the arrival information transmitted in SB4 has been received.

[0286] The management control unit 112 of the management device 110 waits until it is determined that arrival information has been received (SA4, No). If it is determined that arrival information has been received (SA4, Yes), it starts the related management registration process (SA5), and then proceeds to SA6. Details of the management registration process will be described later.

[0287] In SA6, the management control unit 112 of the management device 110 determines whether or not the timing for the management device 110 to terminate its first management process (hereinafter referred to as the "first termination timing") has arrived.

[0288] The method for determining whether or not this first termination timing has arrived is arbitrary, but for example, it may be determined based on whether or not the target terminal device has logged out of the management device 110, whether or not the login termination date and time has arrived, or whether or not information instructing the management device 110 to terminate its first management process has been received from the target terminal device or the management terminal. Here, if the device has logged out, if the login termination date and time has arrived, or if the information has been received, it is determined that the first termination timing has arrived. If the device has not logged out, if the login termination date and time has not arrived, or if the information has not been received, it is determined that the first termination timing has not arrived.

[0289] Then, if the management control unit 112 of the management device 110 determines that the first termination timing has arrived (SA6, Yes), it terminates the second management process of the management device 110. On the other hand, if it determines that the first termination timing has not arrived (SA6, No), it proceeds to SA5, and the processes of SA5 and SA6 are repeated until it is determined in SA6 that the first termination timing has arrived.

[0290] (Processing - First Management Process - Terminal-side Registration Process) Next, we will explain the terminal-side registration process for SB8 in Figure 11.

[0291] The terminal-side registration process is the part of the registration process that is performed on the terminal device 100.

[0292] When the terminal-side registration process is initiated, as shown in Figure 12, the status determination unit 105b of the target terminal device in SC1 determines whether the operating status of all switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 operated by the resident M (specifically, operators such as switchgear operator M1 and other equipment operator M2, etc.) corresponding to the work completion information acquired in SB7 is in the operation completion state.

[0293] The method for determining whether or not the operation is complete is arbitrary, but for example, in SB2, when displaying the switchgear operation button and / or peripheral device operation button, the operating status of the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral device 80 is identified from the switchgear identification information and / or peripheral device identification information extracted from the installation position table 113c. Then, a determination is made based on whether or not all of the identified operating statuses (specifically, all of the identified operating statuses excluding the unoperated status (i.e., the completed operation status and / or the operating status)) are in the completed operation status. Here, if all of the identified operating statuses are in the completed operation status, it is determined that the operating status of all of the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral device 80 is in the completed operation status, and if all of the identified operating statuses are not in the completed operation status, it may be determined that the operating status of all of the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral device 80 is not in the completed operation status.

[0294] Furthermore, the method for identifying the operating status of the switch 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 is arbitrary, but for example, it may be identified based on the operation history information acquired from the operation history DB 106a by the terminal-side operation history acquisition unit 105e (i.e., the operation history information stored in the operation history DB 106a).

[0295] For example, if the operation history information for a specific switchgear 10 among the operation history information above indicates that a closing operation for the specific switchgear 10 was performed via the target terminal device, the target terminal device received information indicating that the limit position had been reached, and then the specific operation was accepted via the terminal-side operation unit 102, then the operation status of the specific switchgear 10 may be determined to be the operation completion status.

[0296] Furthermore, if the operation history information for the specific switchgear 10 indicates that an open, close, or stop operation for the specific switchgear 10 was performed via the target terminal device, but the target terminal device did not receive information indicating that the limit position had been reached, or if the target terminal device received information indicating that the limit position had been reached after the close operation was performed, but the specific operation was not subsequently accepted via the terminal-side operation unit 102, then the operation status of the specific switchgear 10 may be specified as "operating."

[0297] Furthermore, in the operation history information for the specific switchgear 10, if no open, close, or stop operations have been performed for the specific switchgear 10 via the target terminal device, the operation status of the specific switchgear 10 may be specified as "not operated".

[0298] Furthermore, in the operation history information mentioned above, if a predetermined time has elapsed since an unlocking operation for the specific peripheral device 80 was performed via the target terminal device, the operation status of the specific peripheral device 80 may be determined to be "operation completed".

[0299] Furthermore, in the operation history information for the specific peripheral device 80, if a predetermined time has not elapsed since an unlocking operation for the specific peripheral device 80 was performed via the target terminal device, the operation status of the specific peripheral device 80 may be specified as "operating."

[0300] Furthermore, in the operation history information for the specific peripheral device 80, if no unlocking operation has been performed for the specific peripheral device 80 via the target terminal device, the operation status of the specific peripheral device 80 may be determined to be "not operated".

[0301] Then, the status determination unit 105b of the target terminal device determines that the operating status of all the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 is in an operation completion state (SC1, Yes), and determines that the operating status of all the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 is not in an operation completion state (SC1, No), and proceeds to SC2.

[0302] In SC2, the status determination unit 105b of the target terminal device identifies the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 that are in an incomplete operation state, based on the operation history information acquired by the terminal-side operation history acquisition unit 105e (specifically, the operation history information stored in the operation history DB 106a) corresponding to the said operation history information.

[0303] The method for identifying the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 that are in an incomplete operation state is arbitrary, but for example, a switchgear 10 and / or peripheral device 80 that has been identified in SC1 as being in operation may be identified as the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral device 80 that are in an incomplete operation state.

[0304] However, this is not limited to the above. For example, in SC1, switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 identified as being in operation and / or not in operation may be identified as switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 in the incomplete operation state.

[0305] In SC3, the notification unit 105f of the target terminal device notifies information (hereinafter referred to as "incomplete operation status information") indicating that the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral device 80 in an incomplete operation state has been identified in SC2.

[0306] The method for notifying this incomplete operation status information is optional, but in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 18, a display area DA2 (hereinafter referred to as "notification display area DA2") is generated on the screen of the terminal output unit 103 of the target terminal device, and the incomplete operation status information (for example, text data including a standard message such as "There is an open / close device in operation, so please change the operation status of the open / close device to the completed operation state" (i.e., a standard message indicating only that an open / close device 10 in operation has been identified)) is displayed in the generated notification display area DA2.

[0307] However, this is not the only option. For example, instead of the above-mentioned incomplete operation status information, the system may display incomplete operation status information that includes a standard message such as, "The switchgear currently in operation is switchgear SS01, so please change the operation status of the switchgear to the completed operation status" (i.e., a standard message that identifies the switchgear 10 in operation and also indicates the name of the identified switchgear 10).

[0308] Furthermore, for example, in addition to (or instead of) notifying the target terminal device, the system may transmit incomplete operation status information to terminal devices 100 and / or management devices 110 other than the target terminal device, and have these terminal devices 100 and / or management devices 110 display and / or output the incomplete operation status information via their output means.

[0309] This notification allows information about the incomplete operation status to be communicated to the person present M (specifically, an operator of the switchgear 10, an operator of other equipment M2, etc.), enabling the person present M to be aware that the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral equipment 80 are in an incomplete operation state.

[0310] Returning to Figure 12, in SC4, the status determination unit 105b of the target terminal device determines whether or not reason information has been acquired.

[0311] The method for determining whether or not this reason information has been obtained is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, it is obtained as follows.

[0312] In other words, the selection unit 105c of the target terminal device displays multiple pieces of reason information (specifically, at least two of the first to fifth pieces of reason information) in the notification display area DA2 shown in Figure 18, and allows the terminal to select at least one of the displayed pieces of reason information via the terminal-side operation unit 102. If at least one of the pieces of reason information is selected, it is determined that the reason information has been acquired, and if at least one of the pieces of reason information is not selected, it is determined that the reason information has not been acquired.

[0313] Furthermore, the method for selecting the reason information displayed in the notification display area DA2 is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, the operator determination unit 105d of the target terminal device determines whether the resident M (specifically, an operator such as switchgear operator M1, other equipment operator M2, etc.) corresponding to the work completion information acquired in SB7 of the first management process is the last operator, and the selection unit 105c of the target terminal device may, based on the determination result of the operator determination unit 105d, make at least one of the multiple reason information selected by the resident M via the selection unit 105c different.

[0314] For example, as shown in Figure 18(a), if the operator determination unit 105d determines that the resident M is not the last worker, the reason information selected by the selection unit 105c—the first reason information RI1, the second reason information RI2, and the third reason information RI3—may be displayed in the notification display area DA2.

[0315] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 18(b), if the operator determination unit 105d determines that the resident M is the last worker, the reason information selected by the selection unit 105c—the second reason information RI2, the third reason information RI3, the fourth reason information RI4, and the fifth reason information RI5—may be displayed in the notification display area DA2.

[0316] This selection method allows for accurate determination of whether the operating status of all opening / closing devices 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 operated by the final operator is in an operation completion state, and enables more accurate registration of work completion information.

[0317] However, this is not limited to this; for example, the same reason information may be displayed in the notification display area DA2 regardless of whether the operator is the final operator or not. In this case, the selection unit 105c and the operator determination unit 105d may be omitted.

[0318] Furthermore, the method by which the operator determination unit 105d determines whether or not the operator is the last worker is arbitrary. For example, if all the work completion registration information for other residents M staying in the building where the resident M possessing the target terminal device is working is registered in the management DB 113d, the operator may be determined to be the last worker. If all the work completion registration information for the other residents M is not registered, the operator may be determined to be not the last worker.

[0319] Furthermore, information indicating whether or not the person is the final operator (hereinafter referred to as "determination result information") may be displayed in the notification display area DA2, for example, as shown in Figure 18. Also, even if SC1 determines that the operating status of all the above-mentioned switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 is in an operation completion state, the determination result information may be displayed in the notification display area DA2 after the determination of whether or not the person is the final operator has been made.

[0320] Returning to Figure 12, if the status determination unit 105b of the target terminal device determines that reason information has been acquired (SC4, Yes), it proceeds to SC5, assuming that SC1 determined that the operating status of all the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 is in the operation completion state. On the other hand, if it determines that reason information has not been acquired (SC4, No), the terminal-side registration process is terminated.

[0321] Based on the processing from SC1 to SC4, the status determination unit 105b of the target terminal device determines whether the operating status of all switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 operated by the resident M (specifically, operators such as switchgear operator M1 and other equipment operator M2, etc.) corresponding to the operation completion status information and / or reason information is in an operation completion state, based on whether or not operation completion status information and / or reason information has been acquired. This allows for accurate and efficient determination of whether the operating status of all switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 is in an operation completion state, and enables effective registration of work completion information.

[0322] In SC5, the terminal-side control unit 105 of the target terminal device causes the terminal-side communication unit 101 to transmit information including the work completion information acquired in SB7 of the first management process, the terminal identification information of the target terminal device, and the operation history information stored in the operation history DB 106a (specifically, operation date and time information and operation content information) to the management device 110.

[0323] In SC6, the terminal-side control unit 105 of the target terminal device determines whether or not registration completion information has been received.

[0324] The terminal-side control unit 105 of the target terminal device then waits until it is determined that registration completion information has been received (SC6, No). If it is determined that registration completion information has been received (SC6, Yes), the terminal-side output unit 103 displays the registration completion information for a predetermined time, and then terminates the terminal-side registration process (however, it is not limited to this, and the terminal-side registration process may be terminated without displaying the registration completion information).

[0325] (Processing - First Management Process - Management Side Registration Process) Next, we will explain the management-side registration process for SA5 in Figure 11.

[0326] The management-side registration process is the part of the registration process that is performed by the management device.

[0327] When the management-side registration process is initiated, as shown in Figure 13, the registration unit 112a of the management device 110 in SD1 determines whether or not information including work completion information transmitted in SC5 of the terminal-side registration process has been received without going through either the switchgear 10 or the peripheral device 80.

[0328] Then, the terminal-side control unit 105 of the target terminal device waits until it is determined that the above information has been received (SD1, No), and if it is determined that the above information has been received (SD1, Yes), it proceeds to SD2.

[0329] In SD2, the registration unit 112a of the management device 110 registers the work completion information included in the information received in SD1.

[0330] The method for registering this work completion information is optional, but in this embodiment, it is registered as follows. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the information stored in the work application table 113a (specifically, building identification information, terminal identification information, resident affiliation information, resident identification information, scheduled work start date and time information, and scheduled work completion date and time information) has already been registered (stored) in the management DB 113d in association with each other before the processing of SD2.

[0331] In other words, terminal identification information corresponding to the terminal identification information contained in the information received by SD1 is extracted from the terminal identification information registered in the management DB113d, and the work completion information contained in the information received by SD1 is registered in the management DB113d in association with the extracted terminal identification information, with the work completion registration status information = "completed".

[0332] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the processing unit 112f of the management device 110 registers, simultaneously with the registration of work completion information, work start date and time information, work completion date and time information, communication error / application error information, and / or incomplete operation reason information, which are identified based on the operation history information contained in the information received by SD1, in association with the extracted terminal identification information and registers them in the management DB 113d.

[0333] However, this is not limited to this; for example, without registering the information stored in the work request table 113a and / or the operation history information in the management DB 113d, only the terminal identification information and work completion information included in the information received by SD1 above may be registered in the management DB 113d.

[0334] Here, the method for identifying the above work start date and time information is arbitrary, but for example, the operation date and time information that indicates the date and time when the switchgear operation buttons DB1 to DB8 and / or peripheral device operation buttons DB9 were first operated from the operation history information may be identified as the work start date and time information.

[0335] Furthermore, while the method for identifying the above-mentioned work completion date and time information is arbitrary, for example, the operation date and time information from the operation history information that indicates the date and time when the work completion information was acquired in SB7 of the first management process may be identified as the work completion date and time information.

[0336] Furthermore, while the method for identifying the presence or absence of the above communication error / application error information is arbitrary, for example, one could determine whether or not the operation content information in the operation history information contains communication error information or application error information. If the above communication error information is included, the presence or absence of communication error / application error information can be identified as "present," and if the above communication error information is not included, the presence or absence of communication error / application error information can be identified as "absent."

[0337] Furthermore, while the method for identifying the above-mentioned incomplete operation reason information is arbitrary, one example is to determine whether the operation content information in the above-mentioned operation history information includes reason information (specifically, reason information 1 to reason information 5). If the above reason information is included, it may be identified as, for example, "Incomplete operation reason information = above reason information (e.g., due to communication failure)," and if the above reason information is not included, it may be identified as "Incomplete operation reason information = "-". Note that the above-mentioned incomplete operation reason information may also be registered during the history editing process.

[0338] In SD3, the registration unit 112a of the management device 110 causes the management-side communication unit 111 to transmit registration completion information to the target terminal device, and then terminates the management-side registration process.

[0339] Through this registration process (specifically, terminal-side registration process and management-side registration process), work completion information can be registered when the operation status of all switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 operated by the resident M (specifically, operators such as switchgear operator M1 and other equipment operator M2) is in the operation completion state. Therefore, it is possible to prevent forgetting to perform management tasks related to switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 or forgetting to record the operation completion status, and to effectively manage switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80.

[0340] Furthermore, the first management process enables effective management of the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 when the terminal device 100 is logged into the management device 110, thereby improving the usability of the management system 1.

[0341] (Processing - Display Processing) Next, we will explain the display process.

[0342] The display process is a process for displaying operation status information in the terminal device 100.

[0343] The timing of executing this display process is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, it will be described as being started after the power to the switch 10, peripheral device 80 (specifically, the first peripheral device 80a), and management system 1 is turned on, and after the operation process is executed in SB6 of the first management process. Furthermore, this display process will be executed in parallel with the first management process executed on the terminal device 100.

[0344] In this embodiment, although the management system 1 includes multiple terminal devices 100, the content of the display processing performed by these terminal devices 100 is identical. Therefore, Figure 14 will only describe the display processing performed by the target terminal device.

[0345] Furthermore, regarding the prerequisites for the display processing, in this embodiment, until the SE3 process described later is executed, the switch operation buttons DB1 to DB8 and the peripheral device operation button DB9 displayed on the terminal-side output unit 103 of the target terminal device are displayed in a different display color than the display color of the operation status information described later.

[0346] Specifically, as shown in Figure 16, the display color for the switch operation buttons DB1 to DB8 and the peripheral device operation button DB9 is gray (indicated by dotted hatching in Figure 16).

[0347] Furthermore, this explanation of the display process describes the case where the target terminal device is the first terminal device 100a, but the display of the above-mentioned open / close device operation button and the above-mentioned peripheral device operation button shall differ depending on the type of operation authority of the resident possessing the target terminal device (i.e., the operation authority information received by SB3).

[0348] Specifically, if the operation authority information received by SB3 is either the first operation authority information or the third operation authority information, the switchgear operation buttons DB1 to DB8 and the peripheral device operation button DB9 are displayed on the terminal-side output unit 103 of the target terminal device, as shown in Figures 16 and 17. On the other hand, if the operation authority information received by SB3 is the second operation authority information, only the switchgear operation buttons DB1 to DB8 are displayed on the terminal-side output unit 103 of the target terminal device.

[0349] However, this is not limited to the above; for example, regardless of the type of operation authority information received by SB3, the switchgear operation buttons DB1 to DB8 and the peripheral device operation button DB9 may be displayed. However, in this case, if the operation authority information received by SB3 is the second operation authority information, even if the peripheral device operation button DB9 is operated, the peripheral device 80 will not be operated.

[0350] When the display process is activated, as shown in Figure 14, the operation status identification unit 105g of the target terminal device in SE1 acquires operation history information.

[0351] The method for obtaining this operation history information is optional, but in this embodiment, the operation history information stored in the operation history DB 106a, specifically the operation history information stored up to the time of processing of SE1, is obtained from the operation history DB 106a.

[0352] However, the method is not limited to this; for example, operation history information (e.g., operation history information related to the target terminal device) may be obtained from the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80. Alternatively, operation history information may be obtained from other terminal devices 100 or management terminals other than the target terminal device. When obtaining operation history information in this manner, for example, the operation history DB 106a may be omitted.

[0353] In SE2, the operation status identification unit 105g of the target terminal device identifies the operation status of the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 (specifically, all switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 corresponding to the installation location information acquired using the method for acquiring installation location information described above) based on the operation history information acquired in SE1.

[0354] The method for identifying this operating state is optional, but in this embodiment, it is identified using the method performed in the SC1 process of the terminal-side registration process described above, which is substantially the same as the method for identifying the operating state of the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral device 80.

[0355] For example, if the operation history information stored in the operation history DB 106a, specifically the operation history information for a particular switchgear 10, indicates that after a closing operation for the particular switchgear 10 is performed via the target terminal device, the target terminal device receives information indicating that the limit position has been reached, and then the specific operation is accepted via the terminal-side operation unit 102, then the operation status of the particular switchgear 10 may be specified as the operation completion status (that is, the operation status specification unit 105g of the target terminal device may specify the operation status of the switchgear 10 as the operation completion status if it is determined that the operation of the switchgear 10 has been completed after information indicating that the limit position has been reached is received from the switchgear 10 as a closing operation that moves the switchgear 40 of the switchgear 10 in a closing position via the target terminal device).

[0356] Through these SE1 and SE2 processes, the operating status of the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral device 80 can be identified based on the operation history information stored in the operation history DB 106a, and the operating status of the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral device 80 can be accurately identified. In particular, the operation completion status can be accurately identified, and the accuracy of this identification can be improved.

[0357] In SE3, the display control unit 105h of the target terminal device displays the operating status of the switch 10 and / or peripheral device 80 identified in SE2 on the terminal-side output unit 103.

[0358] The method of displaying this operating status is optional, but in this embodiment, the display of the operating status information is varied depending on the operating status of the switch 10 and / or the peripheral device 80.

[0359] Specifically, the display color of the operation status information is changed according to the operating status of the switch 10 and / or peripheral devices 80. More specifically, as shown in Figure 17, operation status information indicating a completed operation is displayed in "blue" (shown by vertical hatching in Figure 17), operation status information indicating an ongoing operation is displayed in "yellow" (shown by diagonal hatching in Figure 17), and operation status information indicating an unoperated state is displayed in "green" (shown by horizontal hatching in Figure 17).

[0360] As an example, as shown in Figure 17, if the SE2 determines that the operating status of some of the switchgear 10s is the completed operation state, the operating status information may be displayed by changing the display color of the switchgear operation button DB1, which corresponds to the aforementioned switchgear 10s, to "blue" among the switchgear operation buttons DB1 to DB8 and the peripheral device operation button DB9.

[0361] Furthermore, if SE2 determines that the operating status of some other switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 is in operation, the operating status information may be displayed by changing the display color of the switchgear operation button DB2, which corresponds to the aforementioned other switchgear 10, among the switchgear operation buttons DB1 to DB8 and peripheral device operation buttons DB9, to "yellow".

[0362] Furthermore, if SE2 determines that the operating status of the remaining switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 is "not operated," the operating status information may be displayed by changing the display color of switchgear operation buttons DB3 to DB8 and peripheral device operation buttons DB9, which correspond to the remaining switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80, to "green."

[0363] This display method allows the display of operation status information to vary depending on the operating status of the opening / closing device 10 and / or peripheral device 80, thereby improving the visibility of the operation status information. In particular, the display color of the operation status information can be varied, further enhancing the visibility of the operation status information.

[0364] However, the display method is not limited to the above; for example, the operation status information may be displayed in a display manner other than display color. For example, the display pattern, display shape, and / or display operation (e.g., lit state, shaking state, etc.) may be displayed differently depending on the operation status of the switch 10 and / or peripheral devices 80. Alternatively, the operation status information may be displayed as text in the same display manner (e.g., the same display color).

[0365] Returning to Figure 14, in SE4, the terminal-side control unit 105 of the target terminal device determines whether or not the timing for ending the display process (hereinafter referred to as the "third termination timing") has arrived.

[0366] The method for determining whether or not this third termination timing has arrived is arbitrary, but for example, it may be determined based on whether or not the operation process has been completed, whether or not the target terminal device has been logged out of the management device 110, or whether or not a predetermined operation has been received via the terminal-side operation unit 102. Here, if the operation process has been completed, if the device has been logged out as described above, or if the predetermined operation has been received as described above, it is determined that the third termination timing has arrived. If the operation process has not been completed, if the device has not been logged out as described above, or if the predetermined operation has not been received as described above, it is determined that the third termination timing has not arrived.

[0367] Then, if the terminal-side control unit 105 of the target terminal device determines that the third termination timing has arrived (SE4, Yes), it terminates the display process. On the other hand, if it determines that the third termination timing has not arrived (SE4, No), it proceeds to SE1, and the processing from SE1 to SE4 is repeated until SE4 determines that the third termination timing has arrived.

[0368] Furthermore, when the processes from SE1 to SE4 are repeated, in this embodiment, all of the operation history information updated immediately before the processing of SE1 is acquired in SE1. However, this is not limited to this; for example, only the information indicating the difference between the updated operation history information and the operation history information acquired in the previous SE1 (i.e., difference information) may be acquired.

[0369] Furthermore, when acquiring all operation history information updated immediately before the processing of SE1, if the operation history information includes multiple operation history pieces (specifically, operation content information) relating to a particular switchgear 10 and / or peripheral device 80, SE2 may determine the operation status of the particular switchgear 10 and / or peripheral device 80 based only on the most recent operation history information among the operation history information relating to the particular switchgear 10 and / or peripheral device 80.

[0370] This display processing allows the operation status information to be displayed on the terminal output unit 103. Therefore, a resident M possessing the terminal device 100 can grasp the operation status of the opening / closing device 10 and / or the peripheral device 80, making it easier for the resident M to take appropriate action according to that operation status.

[0371] (Processing - Second Management Processing) Next, we will explain the second management process.

[0372] The second management process is a management process different from the first management process, and is a management process for managing the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80.

[0373] The timing of executing this second management process is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, it will be described as being started after the power to the switchgear 10, peripheral device 80 (specifically, the first peripheral device 80a), and management system 1 is turned on. Furthermore, this second management process will be executed in parallel with the first management process executed by the management device 110.

[0374] Furthermore, regarding the premise of the second management process, in this embodiment, it is explained that various information concerning the target terminal device and other terminal devices 100 registered in SD2 of the management-side registration process (specifically, building identification information, terminal identification information, resident affiliation information, resident identification information, scheduled work start date and time information, scheduled work completion date and time information, work start date and time information, work completion date and time information, communication error / application error presence / absence information, work completion registration presence / absence information, work start unregistered reason information, work completion unregistered reason information, and / or operation incomplete reason information) is registered in the management DB 113d.

[0375] When the second management process is activated, as shown in Figure 15, the management-side operation history acquisition unit 112e of the management device 110 in SF1 acquires operation history information from the terminal device 100 without going through either the switchgear 10 or the peripheral device 80.

[0376] The method for obtaining this operation history information is optional, but in this embodiment, when work completion information is obtained from a terminal device 100 held by a resident M (specifically, an operator such as an open / close device operator M1 or an operator of other equipment M2), the operation history information is obtained from the terminal device 100.

[0377] Specifically, as described above, in the management-side registration process SD1, the receipt of operation history information from the terminal device 100 is considered as the acquisition of operation history information. In the following, the operation history information acquired at the above timing will be referred to as "first operation history information".

[0378] This acquisition method allows for the acquisition of, for example, operation history information related to management tasks, and enables the execution of processing related to the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 based on said operation history information.

[0379] However, this is not limited to the above; for example, the information may also be obtained by receiving operation history information from the terminal device 100 possessed by the above-mentioned resident M before the work completion information is obtained from the said terminal device 100.

[0380] As an example, the information may be acquired in the terminal device 100 after a predetermined time has elapsed since the operation process of SB6 of the first management process was executed. In the following, the operation history information acquired at the above timing will be referred to as "second operation history information".

[0381] This acquisition method allows, for example, the acquisition of operation history information during management operations, and enables the execution of processing related to the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 based on said operation history information.

[0382] In SF2, the processing unit 112f of the management device 110 determines whether or not the timing for performing the SF3 described later (hereinafter referred to as the "first processing timing") has arrived.

[0383] The method for determining whether or not this first processing timing has arrived is arbitrary, but for example, in order to allow the building manager M3 (or other manager) to check the most recent operation history information, the determination may be based on whether or not the first instruction information, which is transmitted from the management terminal and indicates an instruction to perform the processing of SF3 described later, has been received. Here, if the first instruction information has been received, it is determined that the first processing timing has arrived, and if the first instruction information has not been received, it is determined that the first processing timing has not arrived.

[0384] Then, the processing unit 112f of the control device 110 proceeds to SF3 if it determines that the first processing timing has arrived (SF2, Yes), and proceeds to SF4 if it determines that the first processing timing has not arrived (SF2, No).

[0385] In SF3, the processing unit 112f of the management device 110 performs history display processing based on the operation history information acquired in SF1, and then proceeds to SF10.

[0386] The processing details for this history display process are arbitrary, but in this embodiment, it is executed as follows.

[0387] In other words, as described above, in the management registration process SD2, when the work completion information received in SD1 is registered in the management DB113d as work completion registration status information associated with the corresponding terminal identification information, the work start date and time information, work completion date and time information, and communication error / application error status information, which are identified based on the operation history information received in SD1 (specifically, the operation history information acquired in SF1), are registered in the management DB113d associated with the corresponding terminal identification information (this step may be omitted if the above registration has already been performed before the history display process).

[0388] Next, information related to operation history within one day of acquisition by SF1 is extracted from the various information registered in the management DB113d (for example, building identification information, resident affiliation information, resident identification information, scheduled work start date and time information, scheduled work completion date and time information, work start date and time information, work completion date and time information, communication error / application error presence / absence information, and work completion registration presence / absence information). Then, the management communication unit 111 transmits the extracted information to the management terminal, and the transmitted information is displayed on the output unit of the management terminal as shown in Figure 19 (in Figure 19, it is displayed in a table format).

[0389] Furthermore, when information indicating an instruction to display specific operation history information is received from the management terminal, the management communication unit 111 transmits the aforementioned specific operation history information from the operation history information acquired by SF1 to the management terminal, thereby causing the transmitted information to be displayed on the output unit of the management terminal (for example, in list format).

[0390] Subsequently, when information indicating an instruction to terminate the history display process is received from the management terminal, the history display process will be terminated.

[0391] However, this is not the only option; for example, displaying the specific operation history information mentioned above may be omitted.

[0392] Returning to Figure 15, in SF4, the processing unit 112f of the management device 110 determines whether or not the timing for performing the SF5 process described later (hereinafter referred to as the "second processing timing") has arrived.

[0393] The method for determining whether or not this second processing timing has arrived is arbitrary, but for example, it may be determined based on whether or not a second instruction information has been received, which is transmitted from the management terminal to allow the building manager M3 (or other manager) to edit past operation history information and indicates an instruction to perform the SF5 described later. Here, if the second instruction information has been received, it is determined that the second processing timing has arrived, and if the second instruction information has not been received, it is determined that the second processing timing has not arrived.

[0394] Then, the processing unit 112f of the control device 110 proceeds to SF5 if it determines that the second processing timing has arrived (SF4, Yes), and proceeds to SF6 if it determines that the second processing timing has not arrived (SF4, No).

[0395] In SF5, the processing unit 112f of the management device 110 performs history editing based on the operation history information acquired in SF1, and then proceeds to SF10.

[0396] The processing details for this history editing process are arbitrary, but in this embodiment, it is executed as follows.

[0397] Specifically, in the management-side registration process, SD2 first registers the work completion information received in SD1 in the management DB113d as work completion registration status information, associated with the corresponding terminal identification information. At the same time, the work start date and time information, work completion date and time information, and communication error / application error status information, which are identified based on the operation history information received in SD1 (specifically, the operation history information acquired in SF1), are registered in the management DB113d in association with the corresponding terminal identification information. (Note that this step may be omitted if the above registration has already been performed before the history editing process.)

[0398] Next, information related to operation history that has been acquired by SF1 for more than one day is extracted from the various types of information registered in the management DB113d (for example, building identification information, resident affiliation information, resident identification information, scheduled work start date and time information, scheduled work completion date and time information, work start date and time information, work completion date and time information, communication error / application error information, work completion registration information, work start unregistered information, work completion unregistered information, operation incompleteness information). Then, the management communication unit 111 transmits the extracted information to the management terminal, and the transmitted information is displayed on the output unit of the management terminal, as shown in Figure 20 (in Figure 20, it is displayed in a table format).

[0399] Next, when the management terminal receives information indicating an instruction to edit specific information (especially information regarding the reason for not registering the start of work, information regarding the reason for not registering the completion of work, etc.) from the information displayed above, the system edits various types of information registered in the management DB113d based on the received information (for example, by adding, modifying, and / or deleting various types of information).

[0400] Next, the edited operation history information (specifically, operation history information acquired by SF1 more than one day ago) is transmitted, and the transmitted information is displayed on the output section of the management terminal (note that the editing of the above information and the display of the edited information may be repeated).

[0401] Subsequently, when information indicating the termination of the history editing process is received from the management terminal, the history editing process will be terminated.

[0402] Returning to Figure 15, in SF6, the processing unit 112f of the management device 110 determines whether or not the timing for performing the SF7 process described later (hereinafter referred to as the "third processing timing") has arrived.

[0403] The method for determining whether or not this third processing timing has arrived is arbitrary, but for example, from the work completion date and time information stored in the management DB 113d, work completion date and time information (or work start date and time information) for which work completion registration information = "none" has not been received from a predetermined terminal device 100 may be extracted, and the determination may be made based on whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 2 hours) has elapsed since the date and time of the extracted work completion date and time information (or work start date and time information). Here, if the above predetermined time has elapsed (specifically, if work completion information has not been acquired from the terminal device 100 by the management side operation history acquisition unit 112e even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the end time of the management work), it is determined that the third processing timing has arrived. On the other hand, if the above predetermined time has not elapsed, it is determined that the third processing timing has not arrived.

[0404] Then, the processing unit 112f of the control device 110 proceeds to SF7 if it determines that the third processing timing has arrived (SF6, Yes), and proceeds to SF8 if it determines that the third processing timing has not arrived (SF6, No).

[0405] In SF7, the processing unit 112f of the management device 110 performs the first notification process, and then proceeds to SF10.

[0406] The processing content of this first notification process is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, the first notification information is transmitted by the management-side communication unit 111 to the terminal device 100 and / or an external device (for example, a mobile terminal held by another administrator) configured in a predetermined manner, thereby causing the first notification information to be displayed on the terminal-side output unit 103 of the terminal device 100 and / or the output unit of the external device.

[0407] The method for configuring the terminal device 100 and / or external devices to which the first notification information is transmitted is optional, but for example, it may be configured by registering the terminal device 100 and / or external devices with the management device 110 via the management terminal. (The processing content of the second notification process is substantially the same.)

[0408] By processing SF6 and SF7 in this manner, the first notification process can be executed, making it easier for designated occupants M (specifically, workers such as switchgear operator M1, other equipment operator M2, etc.) and / or managers to take action in response to the first notification information (for example, informing the manager that the worker is unable to complete the management work).

[0409] In this embodiment, it was explained that the processes of SF6 and SF7 are executed when operation history information is acquired in SF1, but this is not limited to this. For example, the processes of SF6 and SF7 may be executed regardless of whether or not operation history information is acquired in SF1. This allows the first notification process to be executed when it is determined in SF7 that the third processing timing has arrived, regardless of whether or not operation history information is acquired in SF1, making it easier to take action in response to the first notification information.

[0410] In SF8, the processing unit 112f of the management device 110 determines whether or not the timing for performing the processing of SF9 (hereinafter referred to as the "fourth processing timing") described later has arrived.

[0411] The method for determining whether or not this fourth processing timing has arrived is arbitrary, but for example, it may be determined based on whether or not a predetermined time (e.g., 2 hours) has elapsed since SF1 acquired operation history information (specifically, second operation history information; however, excluding second operation history information for which work completion information has already been registered) from the terminal device 100, and no further operation history information has been acquired from the terminal device 100. Here, if the above predetermined time has elapsed (specifically, if the operation history information acquired from the terminal device 100 by the management-side operation history acquisition unit 112e is not updated even after the predetermined time has elapsed during management work), it is determined that the fourth processing timing has arrived. On the other hand, if the above predetermined time has not elapsed, it is determined that the fourth processing timing has not arrived.

[0412] Then, the processing unit 112f of the control device 110 proceeds to SF9 if it determines that the fourth processing timing has arrived (SF8, Yes), and proceeds to SF10 if it determines that the fourth processing timing has not arrived (SF8, No).

[0413] In SF9, the processing unit 112f of the management device 110 executes a second notification process based on the operation history information acquired in SF1, and then proceeds to SF10.

[0414] The processing details of this second notification process are arbitrary, but in this embodiment, the second notification information is transmitted by the management-side communication unit 111 to the terminal device 100 and / or an external device (for example, a mobile terminal held by another administrator) configured in the above method, thereby causing the second notification information to be displayed on the terminal-side output unit 103 of the terminal device 100 and / or the output unit of the external device.

[0415] By processing SF8 and SF9 in this manner, a second notification process can be executed, making it easier for designated occupants M (specifically, workers such as switchgear operator M1, other equipment operator M2, etc.) and / or managers to take action regarding the second notification information (for example, informing the manager that the worker is unable to complete the management work).

[0416] In this embodiment, as described above, the first operation history information is acquired in SF1, so there is little point in executing the second notification process. For example, the processes of SF8 and SF9 may be omitted.

[0417] In SF10, the management-side operation history acquisition unit 112e of the management device 110 determines whether or not the timing to acquire operation history information (specifically, first operation history information) again (hereinafter referred to as the "reacquisition timing") has arrived.

[0418] Here, the method for determining whether or not the reacquisition timing has arrived is arbitrary, but in this embodiment, the determination is made based on whether or not work completion information has been acquired from the terminal device 100 that acquired the operation history information in SF1 or from a terminal device 100 other than the said terminal device 100 (specifically, whether or not it was acquired at SD1 of the management side registration process). Here, if the above work completion information has been acquired, it is determined that the reacquisition timing has arrived, and if the above work completion information has not been acquired, it is determined that the reacquisition timing has not arrived.

[0419] However, the method for determining whether the timing for reacquiring the second operation history information has arrived may be determined based on whether a predetermined time has elapsed since the processing of SF1, or whether operation history information has been received from the terminal device 100 that acquired the operation history information in SF1 or from a terminal device 100 other than the said terminal device 100.

[0420] Then, the management-side operation history acquisition unit 112e of the management device 110 transitions to SF1 if it determines that the timing for reacquisition has arrived (SF10, Yes), and transitions to SF11 if it determines that the timing for reacquisition has not arrived (SF10, No).

[0421] In SF11, the processing unit 112f of the management device 110 determines whether or not the timing for terminating the second management process (hereinafter referred to as the "fourth termination timing") has arrived.

[0422] The method for determining whether or not this fourth termination timing has arrived is arbitrary, but for example, it may be determined based on whether or not a third instruction information indicating an instruction to terminate the second management process has been received from the management terminal. Here, if the third instruction information is received, it is determined that the fourth termination timing has arrived, and if the third instruction information is not received, it is determined that the fourth termination timing has not arrived.

[0423] Then, the processing unit 112f of the management device 110 terminates the second management process if it determines that the fourth termination timing has arrived (SF11, Yes). On the other hand, if it determines that the fourth termination timing has not arrived (SF11, No), it proceeds to SF2, and the processing from SF2 to SF11 (or the processing from SF1 to SF11) is repeated until it is determined in SF11 that the fourth termination timing has arrived.

[0424] Furthermore, if the processes from SF1 to SF11 are repeated, and operation history information is acquired multiple times in SF1 before any of the processes SF3, SF5, or SF9 are executed, the process may be executed based only on the last acquired operation history information.

[0425] In particular, if the first operation history information is acquired from the terminal device 100 multiple times in SF1 before a predetermined time has elapsed since the first operation history information was acquired from the terminal device 100, then processing SF3, SF5, or SF7 may be executed based only on the last acquired first operation history information.

[0426] Here, the method for setting the predetermined time is arbitrary, but for example, it may be set to the time from when the work completion information is obtained until the login time of the terminal device 100, which is the destination for obtaining the work completion information, has elapsed.

[0427] This allows the above process to be executed based only on the last acquired operation history information when operation history information is acquired multiple times, making it easier to improve the accuracy of the above process.

[0428] However, this is not limited to this; for example, if operation history information is acquired multiple times, the above processing may be performed based on operation history information other than the last acquired operation history information.

[0429] Through the second management process described above, processing related to at least the switchgear 10 and / or the peripheral device 80 can be performed based on the operation history information acquired from the terminal device 100, without involving either the switchgear 10 or the peripheral device 80. This allows for detailed understanding of the operating status of the switchgear 10 and / or the peripheral device 80 without requiring the installation of wireless communication equipment (e.g., an LTE communication device) for communication between the switchgear 10 and / or the peripheral device 80 and the management device 110. Therefore, the cost of installing communication equipment can be reduced, and the usability of the management device 110 can be improved.

[0430] (Effects of the embodiment) As described above, according to this embodiment, when work completion information is acquired by the work completion acquisition unit 105a, the system includes a state determination unit 105b that determines whether the operating status of all switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 operated by the worker corresponding to the work completion information is in an operation completion state, and a registration unit 112a that registers the work completion information acquired by the work completion acquisition unit 105a based on the determination result of the state determination unit 105b. Therefore, work completion information can be registered when the operating status of all switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 operated by the worker is in an operation completion state. Thus, it is possible to prevent forgetting to perform management tasks related to the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 or forgetting to record the operation completion status, and to effectively manage the switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80.

[0431] Furthermore, the status determination unit 105b determines whether the operating status of all switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 operated by the operator corresponding to the operation completion status information and / or reason information is in an operation completion state, based on whether or not operation completion status information and / or reason information has been acquired. This allows for accurate and efficient determination of whether the operating status of all switchgear 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 is in an operation completion state, and enables effective registration of work completion information.

[0432] Furthermore, the selection means ensures that at least one of the multiple reason information pieces selected by the operator via the selection means differs based on the determination result of the operator determination unit 105d. This allows for accurate determination of whether the operating status of all opening / closing devices 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 operated by the final operator is in an operation completion state, and enables more accurate registration of work completion information.

[0433] Furthermore, the status determination unit 105b identifies the open / close devices 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 that are in an incomplete operation state among all open / close devices 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 operated by the operator corresponding to the operation history information, based on the operation history information acquired by the operation history acquisition unit. The notification unit 105f then notifies the operator of the incomplete operation state information indicating that the open / close devices 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 in an incomplete operation state have been identified by the status determination unit 105b. This allows the operator to be notified of the incomplete operation state information and to be aware of the open / close devices 10 and / or peripheral devices 80 that are in an incomplete operation state.

[0434] Furthermore, since the completed operation state includes the fully closed state, and the incomplete operation state includes the fully open state and the half-open state, it is possible to prevent intruders from entering through the opening 3 in the completed operation state, making it easier to ensure the security of the building.

[0462] The management system in Appendix 2, in the management system described in Appendix 1, the status determination means acquires operation completion status information indicating that the operating state of the switchgear or peripheral device is the operation completion state, and / or reason information indicating the reason why the operating state of the switchgear or peripheral device cannot be set to the operation completion state, and determines whether the operating state of all the switchgear or / or peripheral devices operated by the operator corresponding to the operation completion status information or / or reason information is the operation completion state, based on whether or not the operation completion status information or / or reason information has been acquired.

[0463] The management system described in Appendix 3, in the management system described in Appendix 2, comprises: a selection means for causing a worker to select from a plurality of reason pieces of information when there are multiple workers; a state determination means capable of acquiring at least one of the plurality of reason pieces of information selected by the worker via the selection means; and an operator determination means that, when the work completion information is acquired by the work completion acquisition means, determines whether the worker corresponding to the work completion information is the last worker to complete the management work. The selection means causes at least one of the plurality of reason pieces of information selected by the worker via the selection means to be different based on the determination result of the operator determination means.

[0464] The management system described in Appendix 4 is a management system described in any one of Appendix 1 to 3, comprising: operation history acquisition means for acquiring operation history information showing the operation history of the switchgear and / or peripheral devices operated by the operator; and notification means for notifying information regarding the operating status of the switchgear and / or peripheral devices.

[0465] The management system in Appendix 5, in the management system described in Appendix 4, includes a fully closed state in which the opening is fully closed by the opening / closing body of the opening / closing device, and an incomplete state in which the opening is fully opened by the opening / closing body of the opening / closing device, and a half-open state in which the opening is half-open by the opening / closing body of the opening / closing device.

[0466] The management program in Appendix 6 is a management program for a management system that manages opening and closing devices and / or peripheral devices provided around at least one opening in a building, wherein the computer functions as: a work completion acquisition means for acquiring work completion information indicating that an operator performing management work related to the opening and closing devices, the peripheral devices, and / or other equipment other than the opening and closing devices and peripheral devices has completed the management work; a state determination means for determining whether the operation status of all the opening and closing devices and / or peripheral devices operated by the operator corresponding to the work completion information is in an operation completion state, meaning that the operation has been completed; and a registration means for registering the work completion information acquired by the work completion acquisition means based on the determination result of the state determination means.

[0467] (Effect of the note) According to the management system described in Appendix 1 and the management program described in Appendix 6, when work completion information is acquired by the work completion acquisition means, it includes a state determination means that determines whether the operating status of all switchgear and / or peripheral devices operated by the worker corresponding to the work completion information is in an operation completion state, and a registration means that registers the work completion information acquired by the work completion acquisition means based on the determination result of the state determination means. Therefore, work completion information can be registered when the operating status of all switchgear and / or peripheral devices operated by the worker is in an operation completion state. Thus, it is possible to prevent forgetting to perform management tasks related to switchgear and / or peripheral devices or forgetting to record the operation completion status, and to effectively manage switchgear and / or peripheral devices.

[0468] According to the management system described in Appendix 2, the status determination means determines whether the operating status of all switchgear and / or peripheral devices operated by the operator corresponding to the operation completion status information and / or reason information is in an operation completion state, based on whether or not operation completion status information and / or reason information has been acquired. Therefore, it is possible to accurately and efficiently determine whether the operating status of all the above switchgear and / or peripheral devices is in an operation completion state, and to effectively register work completion information.

[0469] According to the management system described in Appendix 3, the selection means makes at least one of the multiple reason information pieces selected by the operator via the selection means different based on the determination result of the operator determination means. This makes it possible to accurately determine whether the operating status of all opening / closing devices and / or peripheral devices operated by the final operator is in an operation completion state, and to register work completion information with greater accuracy.

[0470] According to the management system described in Appendix 4, the status determination means identifies all switchgear and / or peripheral devices that have been operated by the operator corresponding to the operation history information, based on the operation history information acquired by the operation history acquisition means, and the notification means notifies the operator of the incomplete operation status, indicating that the switchgear and / or peripheral devices that have been operated by the status determination means have been identified. Thus, the operator can be notified of the incomplete operation status, and the operator can be aware of the switchgear and / or peripheral devices that have been operated in an incomplete state.

[0471] According to the management system described in Appendix 5, the completed operation state includes the fully closed state, and the incomplete operation state includes the fully open state and the half-open state. Therefore, it is possible to prevent intruders from entering through the opening in the completed operation state, making it easier to ensure the security of the building. [Explanation of Symbols]
