2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional alarm monitoring apparatus, when an alarm is generated, the display screen is automatically switched to a corresponding alarm graphic screen, or an alarm is displayed by a message without performing automatic switching, and a manual alarm graphic screen is displayed. Switching to.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a screen switching operation by a display method of the conventional alarm monitoring device.

In FIG. 1, first, an alarm monitoring device is initialized in step S301. In this initialization, a setting process of whether or not to automatically switch the screen of the display unit when an alarm is generated is performed, and this is determined when the alarm monitoring device is adjusted. Step S302 is a state in which the alarm monitoring device operates and waits for the generation of an alarm. When an alarm is generated, the process proceeds to step S303.
In step S303, the information set in step S301 is determined, and if automatic switching is set, the screen of the display is automatically switched to the alarm graphic screen in step S304. When the automatic switching is not set in step S301, the screen of the display is continuously displayed on the screen of the display. Then, it is determined in step S305 whether or not the switching has been performed manually. If the switching has been performed, an alarm graphic screen is displayed on the display in step S304. In addition, when the manual switching is not performed, the previous screen is continuously displayed without switching the screen of the display to the alarm graphic screen.

[0005]

In the conventional display method of the alarm monitoring device as described above, if the automatic switching is set, the alarm or the like is output even if the operator of the alarm monitoring device performs another operation. When this occurred, the screen was automatically switched, which was inconvenient for operation. In the case of manual switching, when an alarm or the like occurs, it cannot be displayed immediately on the alarm graphic screen, and the alarm cannot be quickly confirmed.

For this reason, it has heretofore been considered that a non-critical screen such as a normal operation screen is displayed as a multi-screen on the same display screen as the alarm graphic screen in a window screen. However, when an alarm occurs, the position of the alarm graphic symbol indicating the alarm may overlap with a non-critical window screen such as a normal operation screen. In such a case, the function of the alarm graphic screen is fully exhibited. Had not been. Another prior art is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-280.

The alarm graphic screen and the non-important window screen are displayed in a multi-screen on the same display screen, and when the alarm graphic symbol indicating the alarm occurrence position of the alarm graphic screen overlaps with the non-important window screen, the non-important Since one or more of the window screens are moved to the corners of the display screen for display, the non-critical window screen and the alarm graphic screen can be viewed simultaneously when an alarm is generated, and the previous (immediate) non-critical screen is also displayed on the window. In addition to being displayed as a screen, an alarm graphic symbol is displayed on the alarm graphic screen to avoid duplication with the non-critical window screen.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 is a front view showing a display screen according to a display method of an alarm monitoring device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a display screen of an alarm monitoring device, 2 denotes an operation window screen in which a normal operation screen is used as a window screen, and 3 denotes an alarm or the like in a building. The alarm graphic screen 3a displayed on the screen is an alarm graphic symbol indicating an alarm generation position on the alarm graphic screen 3. 2a indicates the position of the operation window screen after the movement.

In this alarm monitoring device, when an alarm is generated, the operation screen is displayed as an operation window screen 2 on the same display screen 1 as a multi-screen together with the alarm graphic screen 3.

Next, the screen switching operation of the alarm monitoring device will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a screen switching operation by the display method of the alarm monitoring device according to one embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, the alarm monitoring device has already been initialized.

In the figure, first, step S101 is a state in which the alarm monitoring device operates and waits for generation of an alarm, and when an alarm is generated, the process proceeds to step S102. In step S102, position information X and Y of the alarm graphic symbol 3a at the time of alarm generation are obtained by coordinates. In step S103, it is determined whether or not the operation window screen 2 is displayed. When there is no display, there is no need to display the operation window screen 2, so that only the corresponding alarm graphic screen 3 is displayed in step S104. On the other hand, when the operation window screen 2 is displayed, the operation window screen 2 is displayed in step S105.
Is initialized. Then, step S
At 106, the position (X, Y) of the alarm graphic symbol 3a
Is the coordinate information (X1, Y1) of the operation window screen 2 to
It is determined whether (X1 + .DELTA.X, Y1 + .DELTA.Y), that is, whether they overlap. If they overlap, that is, X1 ≦ X ≦ X1 + ΔX,
If Y1.ltoreq.Y.ltoreq.Y1 + .DELTA.Y, it is determined in step S107 whether or not the operation window screen 2 has been assigned to the four corners of the display screen 1. If the assignment to the four corners has already been completed, the operation window screen 2 is determined. Since it is impossible to avoid the overlap between the alarm graphic symbol 3a and the alarm graphic symbol 3a, the alarm graphic screen 3 is displayed in step S110, the operation window screen 2 is redisplayed in step S111, and the process returns to step S101. If it is determined in step S107 that the operation window screen 2 has not been allocated to the four corners of the display screen 1, the process proceeds to step S108, and the operation window screen 2 is allocated to the four corners of the display screen 1. That is, the coordinates corresponding to the value of the following allocation counter i are displayed on the display screen 1 as the coordinates of the operation window screen 2.
All four corners. When i = 0, X1 = 0, Y1 = 0 When i = 1, X1 = Xmax .-. DELTA.X, Y1 = 0 When i = 2, X1 = 0, Y1 = Ymax .-. DELTA.Y When i = 3 , X1 = Xmax .-. DELTA.X, Y1 = Ymax .-. DELTA.
Y

Thereafter, in step S109, the allocation counter i is counted up, and the process returns to step S106.
Again, the position (X, Y) of the alarm graphic symbol 3a is compared with the coordinate information of the new operation window screen 2a,
If the alarm graphic symbol 3a and the new operation window screen 2a do not overlap, step S11
If 0, the alarm graphic screen 3 is displayed, and step S111
Displays the operation window screen 2a at the newly moved position.

In this manner, the operation window screen 2 is moved to a position not overlapping with the alarm graphic symbol 3a of the alarm graphic screen 3, and the alarm graphic screen 3 and the operation window screen 2 are displayed on the same display screen 1 in a multi-screen. Is done.

As described above, the display method of the alarm monitoring apparatus according to the present embodiment monitors an alarm or the like in a building and, when an alarm is generated, displays the alarm graphically on the alarm graphic screen 3.
And the same display screen 1 together with the alarm graphic screen 3
Window screen 2 for multi-screen display inside
And the like, and when the alarm graphic symbol 3a indicating the alarm occurrence position of the alarm graphic screen 3 overlaps with the operation window screen 2 (non-important window screen), the operation window screen 2
The (non-important window screen) is sequentially moved to the four corners of the display screen 1 to display the operation window screen 2 (non-important window screen) and the alarm graphic symbol 3a while avoiding overlapping.

That is, the display method of the alarm monitoring device according to the present embodiment includes the alarm graphic screen 3 and the operation window screen 2.
(Insignificant window screen) in the same display screen 1 as a multi-screen, and furthermore, an alarm graphic symbol 3a indicating an alarm generation position of the alarm graphic screen 3 and the operation window screen 2 (non-important window screen). Are displayed while avoiding duplication.

Therefore, when an alarm or the like is generated, the alarm graphic screen 3 is automatically displayed and the operation window screen 2 is also displayed at the same time, so that the operator of the alarm monitoring device can set the data while viewing the operation screen. Even if an alarm or the like is generated during an operation such as the operation, the operation screen remains as the operation window screen 2a together with the alarm graphic screen 3, and the previous operation is not interrupted, which is convenient on the operation. In addition, since the alarm graphic symbol 3a is displayed on the alarm graphic screen 3 without overlapping with the operation window screen 2, when an alarm or the like occurs, it is immediately displayed on the alarm graphic screen 3, Alerts can be checked quickly. As a result, the operability is improved, and the alert recognition is also improved.

In the above embodiment, when an alarm is generated, the operation window screen 2 at that time is checked, and if the alarm graphic symbol 3a and the operation window screen 2 overlap, the operation window screen 2 is displayed on the display screen 1.
After the search for a position that does not overlap with the alarm graphic symbol 3a, the alarm graphic screen 3 for displaying the alarm is displayed, and the operation window screen 2 is moved. 2 may be reduced so that it does not overlap with the warning graphic symbol 3a, and then the warning graphic screen 3 may be displayed.

In the above embodiment, the operation window screen 2 has been described as an insignificant window screen. However, it is of course possible to use the other screens as window screens.

[0023]

As described above, according to the display method of the alarm monitoring apparatus of the present invention, the alarm graphic screen and the non-important window screen are displayed on the same display screen in a multi-screen, and the alarm graphic screen is displayed with an alarm. If the alarm graphic symbol indicating the occurrence position overlaps the non-important window screen , one or more of the non-important window screens
Move to the corner of the display screen and avoid the overlap between the alarm graphic symbol indicating the alarm occurrence position on the alarm graphic screen and the non-critical window screen, and display the alarm occurrence position on the alarm graphic screen. The important window screen and the alarm graphic screen can be viewed at the same time, and the previous (previous) screen is also displayed as a window screen, so that the previous operation is not interrupted, the operability is good, and the alarm graphic screen is displayed. Since the warning graphic symbol is displayed while avoiding duplication with the non-critical window screen, the warning can be quickly confirmed and the recognition of the warning can be improved.
