In this embodiment, when the terminal device 1a detects an abnormality of the equipment in the same building, the identification number uniquely set to the terminal and the data indicating the equipment having the abnormality are stored in the abnormality information. That is, it transmits the alarm data to the communication device 11a of the monitoring center 10 via the communication line L1. As shown in FIG. 2, when the monitoring center 10 receives the alarm data by the communication device 11a in step S12,
The report data is sent to the reception data analysis device 12, and in step S13, the reception data analysis device 12 selects the district of the building where the abnormality has occurred from the identification number in the report data. Next, the reception data analyzer 12 checks the data of the equipment in the alarm data in step S14, and determines whether or not the equipment is a preset wide area disaster target equipment. The equipment set for the wide-area disaster set in advance refers to equipment in which an abnormality occurs in equipment in a wide range such as an earthquake or a power outage and concentration of alarm data in the monitoring center 10 is considered. And the water level of the water tank is abnormal. If it is determined at this time that the equipment is not a preset equipment, the procedure S1 is executed.
The alarm data is sent to the normal alarm processor 13 as 5,
The normal alert processing device 13 searches the primary information storage device 15 based on the identification number in the alert data, and identifies the building and the equipment in which the abnormality has occurred. Necessary information, for example, the terminal device 1

Further information, for example, contact information, the nearest station of the building, and the admission method are read out, and normal alert information is created. The normal alarm information is stored in the normal alarm storage device 17, is displayed on the display device 19a, and is sent to the distribution device 20a. The distribution device 20a dials the communication device 31a of the dispatch base 30a based on the normal alert information, and communicates with the communication device 31 via the communication line L2.
The normal alert information is distributed to a. In response to this, the communication device 3
1a sends the normal alarm information to the processing device 32a, the processing device 32a converts the normal alarm information into screen display data and print data, displays the screen display data on the display device 33a, and prints the print data on the printing device 34a. Print with. The response staff at the dispatch base 30a checks the displayed and printed information, dispatches to the building where the abnormality has occurred, and takes appropriate measures. Thereafter, the response staff inputs the details of the response performed by using the display device 33a. The display device 33a transmits the input information to the normal alarm storage device 17 via the communication device 31a, the communication line L2, and the distribution device 20a of the monitoring center 10.
To memorize. By operating the display device 33a, the response staff at the dispatch base 30a transmits past normal alarm information stored in the normal alarm storage device 17 and information of corresponding contents to the display device 33a and the printing device 34a. Can be output.

On the other hand, when a disaster occurs in a wide area due to an earthquake, a power outage, or the like, many terminal devices detect an abnormality, so that the communication devices 11a to 11i of the monitoring center 10 concentrate on the communication devices in a short time. Report data will be transmitted.
That is, when the alarm data is received as shown in step S12, the reception data analyzer 12 selects the district of the building where the alarm was issued in step S13 in the same manner as described above, and in step S14, the equipment targeted for the wide area disaster Determine whether or not. At this time, if it is determined that the equipment is a target of a wide area disaster, as a step S16, the number of alarms is incremented by +
Set to 1. Thereafter, as shown in step S17, when the number-of-reports counter reaches 5 or more, the reception data analysis device 12
Detects that a wide-area disaster has occurred in the area, and informs the communication apparatus 31a of the dispatch base 30a that is in charge of the area via the distribution device 20a and the communication line L2 that the centralized alert has been detected. In addition to transmitting the alarm detection information, the alarm data of the same area is sent to the centralized alarm processing device 14 in step S18. The above-mentioned alarm number counter is cleared every 10 minutes as step S11 through the order shown in steps S21 to S23, and counts the number of alarm data for the next 10 minutes. That is, first, the timer counter is cleared as shown in step S21, and then it is determined whether or not 10 minutes have elapsed in step S22. At this time, if it is determined that 10 minutes have elapsed, an interrupt is generated in step S23. Processing occurs. Thus, the centralized alarm processing device 14 searches the primary information storage device 15 by the identification number in the alarm data, and obtains the minimum necessary information for performing the monitoring operation, for example, the information of the building in which the terminal device 1a is installed. The name, address, name and state of the equipment having an abnormality, the state thereof, and the telephone numbers of the dispatch bases 30a to 30m are read out, centralized alarm information is created, and the centralized alarm information is stored in the centralized alarm storage device 18. .

The processing device 32a that has received the centralized alert information in step S34 displays the centralized alert information on the screen in step S35. Further, when the centralized alert display screen is activated in the above-described step S31, the interrupt process is activated, and the timer counter is cleared in step S41,
Three minutes are measured as shown in step S42. After this, 3
When the minute has elapsed, an interrupt process is generated in step S43, and information in the display device 33a is updated in step S33.
As a result, new information can be obtained at regular intervals. Note that the above interrupt processing operates only when the centralized alert information screen is activated on the display device 33a, and does not operate when the centralized alert information screen is displayed. Thereafter, when the end operation of the centralized alarm display screen is performed in step S36, the interrupt processing is stopped in step S37, and a series of centralized alarm information acquisition processing ends.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the centralized alarm information stored in the centralized alarm storage device 18 in response to the centralized alarm is later transmitted from the centralized alarm storage device 18 by the information matching device 21 in step S51. At the same time, other information corresponding to the centralized alert information stored in the secondary information storage device 16 is retrieved and read out as the procedure S52, and the procedure S52 is performed.
The normal alert information is newly created by adding the other information to the centralized alert information as 53, and the normal alert information is stored in the normal alert storage device 17 as step S54. Thereafter, the information matching device 21 determines whether or not the centralized alert information is present in the centralized alert storage device 18 as shown in step S55, and sequentially converts the centralized alert information into the normal alert information in the same manner as described above. Performs information matching processing for conversion.

In the embodiment configured as described above, it is possible to reduce operations such as confirmation and communication of information by the corresponding personnel of the monitoring center 10. In addition, by simplifying the process of responding to centralized alerting than the process of responding to normal abnormality information,
It is possible to prevent the response staff of the monitoring center 10 from being burdened when the centralized alert is issued. Further, after the centralized alert is generated, it is possible to match the history information without the intervention of the corresponding personnel of the monitoring center 10.

In this embodiment, the number-of-reports count value is 5 and the timer interrupt value is 10 at the time of the centralized report detection procedure.
Minutes and the interval between acquisitions of centralized alerts are 3 minutes,
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be changed depending on the number of monitoring terminal devices, the number of communication lines, and the like.
