Description

  The present invention relates to an inspection support apparatus and an inspection support system.

  Conventionally, in order to inspect the fire alarm facility by one inspection worker, the operation status of the fire alarm facility is sent by communication to the mobile terminal possessed by the inspection operator, and the inspection operator installs the fire at various locations in the facility. It is considered that the fire detector is restored at the place where the fire detector is installed by performing recovery from the portable terminal after confirming the inspection result that issued the detector (Patent Document 1).

JP 2003-109137 A

If the facility where the fire detector is installed is large, the inspection time can be shortened if a plurality of inspection workers share the place and perform the inspection work in parallel. However, if one inspection worker restores from the mobile terminal, the fire detectors that other inspection workers have reported are also restored. Therefore, other inspection workers had to fire the fire detector again for confirmation.
Similarly to recovery, when a function that is affected by the overall operation of the fire alarm system, such as a shut-off function, is activated and changed by one inspection operator, other inspection workers Will be confused.

The present invention solves the above problems and is as follows.

The figure explaining operation | movement of the portable terminal, inspection assistance apparatus, and management apparatus in one Embodiment of this invention.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram in one embodiment of the present invention. 1 is an inspection support system, 2 is a fire alarm facility, 10 is an inspection support device (server), 20 (20A, 20B) is a portable terminal held by an inspection operator, 30 is a receiver, and 40 is attached to the fire alarm facility. Communication terminal, 50 is a fire detector, 60 is a linked operation device such as a bell, fire door, shutter, smoke exhauster, 1000 is a network, 70 is a management device including the receiver 30 and the communication terminal 40, 80 is an inspection work It shows the inspection work management device installed in the company's office.

FIG. 2 shows the situation when two people inspect. 3 is a property, A and B are inspection workers, 20A and 20B (20) are mobile terminals, 50 is a fire detector, and 90 is a smoke tester.
Inspection workers A and B carry smoke tester 90 and portable terminals 20A and B.
The fire detector 50 detects smoke and issues a notification, and activates the interlocking operation device 60 via the receiver 30. At the time of inspection, smoke is added to the fire detector 50 by the smoke tester 90 and a smoke test is performed to reproduce the actual fire situation. Then, the interlocking operation device 60, such as a fire door, a shutter, a smoke evacuator, and a leaning wall, is also operated in conjunction. However, if a fire door or the like is activated each time the individual fire detector 50 is tested, it takes a lot of time to return it to its original position. For this reason, setting of the receiver 30 is temporarily changed for some of the devices in the interlocking operation device 60 at the time of inspection to interrupt the interlocking with the fire detector.
When the interlocking is shut off, the inspection worker A operates by designating which of the interlocking operation devices 60 is to be shut off by the portable terminal 20A.

FIG. 3 shows the display of the portable terminal 20A possessed by the inspection worker A. A five-line event field 251 is displayed at the top, a message field 252 at the bottom, and a plurality of function input switches 254 at the bottom. Events such as fire detector alerts are displayed in the event column 251. In the message column 252, “designate a shutoff device” is displayed, and shutoff devices such as “fire door” and “shutter” are displayed as a plurality of message correspondence switches 253. Touching one or more of the message corresponding switches 253 to select and invert the display, and touching “blocking” of the function input switch 254 underneath, the selected blocking device is blocked. , It will not work in conjunction with the fire detector 50 test. Further, when an operation touching “collective shutoff” of the function input switch 254 is performed, all the interlocking operation devices 60 are shut off and do not operate even if the selection operation of the message corresponding switch 253 is not performed.
It should be noted that the event column 251 has a plurality of pages when events occur for five lines or more. In order to change the page, an operation of touching the “previous page” and “rear page” of the function input switch 254 is performed.
When the inspection operator A switches from the other screen to the main screen in FIG. 3 on the portable terminal 20A, the devices that have already been shut off by the inspection workers including other operation inspectors are the message corresponding switch 253. The switch of that device is highlighted and displayed. Thereby, the inspection worker A can recognize the devices that are blocked, including devices that are blocked by other inspection workers.

Here, for example, when the inspection operator A performs the “collective shut-off” operation of the function input switch 254, when the inspection operator B wants to operate only the bell, the bell does not ring. That is, the operation of “batch shut-off” affects the inspection work of another inspector B. Therefore, when the inspection worker A performs a “batch shut-off” operation, the message box 252 in the screen of the mobile terminal 20B of the other check worker B displays “a batch shut-off operation by another check worker”. "Do you want to allow it?" Is displayed. Thereby, the inspection operator B can know that the operation affecting the inspection operation has been performed by another inspector. At the same time, “Yes”, “No”, “1 minute later”, and the like are displayed as the message correspondence switch 253.
The inspection operator B performs an operation of touching a “Yes” switch as a confirmation result when permitting. If it does so, it will be displayed in the message column 252 of the portable terminal 20A of the inspection operator A, and the interlocking operation apparatus 60 will be interrupted | blocked collectively by the receiver 30. FIG.
Inspector B performs an operation of touching a “No” switch as a confirmation result when not permitting. Then, a message column 252 of the portable terminal 20 </ b> A displays “Collective block is not permitted by another inspection operator” or the like, and “Call” is displayed as the message corresponding switch 253. In this way, the inspection worker A waits for a while and performs an operation for requesting permission again, or touches the “call” to call the inspection worker B using the mobile terminal 20A to check the situation. be able to.
The inspection operator B can also perform an operation of selecting the “1 minute later”, “2 minutes later”, and “3 minutes later” switches in the message corresponding switch 253 if it can be permitted after a while. When these switches are selected, the message field 252 of the portable terminal 20A possessed by the inspection operator A displays, for example, “Batch shuts off after 1 minute” and the like. Blocked. In addition, if it is desired to hold for a while whether or not it can be permitted, the display of “Unknown” is selected, and the message column 252 of the portable terminal 20A held by the checker A indicates that “the batch check is suspended by another checker. ”Can be displayed and the intention of suspension can be communicated to the inspection worker A.

Recovery is performed as in the following example. A case where other than the bell of the interlocking operation device 60 is shut off will also be described.
In the inspection, for example, the inspection operator A selects “other than“ bell ”with the message corresponding switch 253 and performs the“ blocking ”operation with the function input switch 254, and the inspection operator B selects“ Yes ”with the message corresponding switch 253. When the operation of selecting is performed, the interlocking operation device 60 other than the bell is blocked in the receiver 30. Therefore, when the inspection worker A tests the fire detector 50 with the smoke tester 90, the bell of the interlocking operation device 60 rings and the other interlocking operation devices 60 do not operate. When the inspection operator A finishes confirming that the fire detector 50 has normally operated by the event field 251 on the screen of the mobile terminal 20A and touches the “recovery” of the function input switch 254 in the mobile terminal 20A, On the screen of the portable terminal 20B of the worker B, the message field 252 in FIG. 4 displays "Recovery operation has been performed by another inspection worker. Do you want to allow it?" The inspection operator B can perform an operation of selecting “Yes”, “No”, etc., as in the case of collective shut-off. Then, by selecting “Yes”, the recovery was started and executed, and all the fire detectors 50 that were reported by the test returned to the normal state, the bell stopped, and displayed in the event column 251. All “Fire occurrence” indications disappear. Therefore, even if the test of the fire detector 50 by the inspection worker A and the test by the inspection worker B overlap in time, the inspection worker B himself / herself performs in the event column 251 of the portable terminal 20B. After confirming the test results, recovery by the inspection operator A can be performed.

Next, the configuration and operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.
First, the internal configuration of each apparatus in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 5, large squares represent the mobile terminals 20 </ b> A and 20 </ b> B, the inspection support device 10, and the management device 70 in order from the top. The inspection support apparatus 10 is provided in the server. In FIG. 5, the communication configuration such as the network 1000 and the description of the fire detector 50 and the interlocking operation device 60 are omitted.
As illustrated in FIG. 5, the mobile terminal 20 </ b> A includes a notification unit 201, a confirmation result notification unit 202, a call unit 203, an operation input reception unit 204, and an operation information transmission unit 205. The mobile terminal 20 </ b> B includes a call unit 211, an operation information notification unit 212, a confirmation result input reception unit 213, and a confirmation result transmission unit 214. In FIG. 5, the two portable terminals 20A and 20B are described as different configurations, but only the portions necessary for the following explanation are described, and basically the same configuration and the other portable terminal. It also has a terminal configuration.
In addition, the inspection support apparatus 10 includes a notification instruction unit 101, a notification detector reception unit 102, a confirmation result notification instruction unit 103, an operation information reception unit 104, a call transfer unit 105, an operation information notification instruction unit 106, and a confirmation result reception unit 107. The management apparatus 70 includes an alarm detector transmitter 701, an alarm signal receiver 702, a recovery unit 703, an interlocking output unit 704, a limiter 705, and an operation execution unit 706.

Next, operations of the mobile terminal 20, the inspection support device 10, and the management device 70 will be described with reference to FIGS.
When the inspection worker A causes the smoke detector 90 to issue the fire detector 50, the information is received by the alarm signal receiving unit 702 of the management device 70, sent to the interlocking output unit 704 and transmitted to the alarm detector. Send to section 701. The interlocking output unit 704 operates the interlocking operation device 60 according to the status of “blocking” by the limiting unit 705. On the other hand, the alarm detector transmission unit 701 transmits an alarm detector signal to the inspection support device 10. When the alarm detector receiving unit 102 of the inspection support apparatus 10 receives the alarm detector signal, it is sent to the notification instructing unit 101 and transmitted to the portable terminal 20. Then, the portable terminal 20 receives the alarm detector signal and notifies the corresponding fire detector 50 of “Fire occurrence” as shown in the event field 251 of FIG.

When the inspection operator A performs an operation input with the function input switch 254 on the portable terminal 20A in order to execute functions such as restoration and shut-off (S101), the inspection operator A sends the operation information to the operation information transmission unit 205 and inputs it. The operation information is transmitted to the inspection support device 10 (S102). In the inspection support apparatus 10, the operation information receiving unit 104 receives operation information.
Then, the operation information notification instruction unit 106 transmits the operation information to the portable terminal 20B (S103), and the operation information notification unit 212 of the portable terminal 20B notifies the operator B of the operation information as shown in FIG. 4 (S104). ), The confirmation result input accepting unit 213 is in a state of accepting the input. When the inspection operator B inputs the confirmation result for the notified operation information on the portable terminal 20B (S105), the confirmation result is sent from the confirmation result input reception unit 213 to the confirmation result transmission unit 214 and transmitted to the inspection support device 10. (S106).

In the inspection support apparatus 10, the confirmation result is received by the confirmation result receiving unit 107. When the confirmation result is “call”, the call transfer unit 105 is operated to call the call unit 203 of the mobile terminal 20A, and between the call unit 211 of the mobile terminal 20B and the call unit 203 of the mobile terminal 20A. The call function is started (S107).
When the confirmation result is other than “call”, it is sent to the operation instruction unit 108 and transmitted to the portable terminal 20A via the confirmation result notification instruction unit 103 (S108). In the portable terminal 20A, the confirmation result notification unit 202 displays the confirmation result in the message column 252 and notifies the inspection operator A (S109). If the confirmation result is other than “Yes”, “Call” is displayed as the message correspondence switch 253. The inspection worker A operates the “call” switch when he / she wants to check the situation. Then, operation information “call” is transmitted from the operation input receiving unit 204 to the operation information transmitting unit 205 and transmitted to the inspection support device 10. The inspection support apparatus 10 receives the operation information reception unit, operates the call transfer unit 105, calls the call unit 211 of the mobile terminal 20B, and connects between the call unit 203 of the mobile terminal 20A and the call unit 211 of the mobile terminal 20B. The call function is started (S110).

If the confirmation result is “Yes” or “Permitted after a certain time” such as “After 1 minute”, the operation execution is permitted although there is a difference in the time until execution. If the confirmation result is “Yes”, the operation instructing unit 108 immediately displays the operation execution information corresponding to the confirmation result when the certain time has passed if the permission is after a certain time such as “after 1 minute”. It transmits to the management apparatus 70 (S111). The operation execution unit 706 of the management device 70 receives the operation execution information and executes the operation content (S112). For example, in the case of “recovery” operation execution information, the information is transmitted to the recovery unit 703, and the alarm detector transmission unit 701 is recovered from the transmission state, and further, the interlock output unit 704 is also recovered. In the case of “blocking” operation execution information, the operation execution information is sent from the operation execution unit 706 to the restriction unit 705 and acts on the interlocking output unit 704 to limit the interlocking output according to the operation execution information, that is, shut off. I do.
If the confirmation result is “No” or “Unknown”, the operation instruction unit 108 does not transmit the operation execution information to the management device 70.

In the above embodiment, the case where there are two inspection workers has been described. However, when there are three or more inspection workers, the operation instruction unit 108 operates the operation execution information when all other inspection workers permit it. Is transmitted to the management device 70 to execute a predetermined function. In addition, when there are three or more inspection workers, an instruction to notify the confirmation result from the confirmation result notification instruction unit 103 of the inspection support device 10 is issued to a portable terminal other than the portable terminal that transmitted the confirmation result. Also good.
When the number of inspection workers is three or more, there are a plurality of other inspection workers, and thus there is a possibility that the input permission information is different from “1 minute later” to “3 minutes later”. Therefore, the management apparatus 70 is operated according to the input maximum time or the confirmation result having the highest non-permission level such as “No”, so that different permission information can be handled. The notification of the confirmation result at that time may be displayed for each inspection worker, or only the one with the highest degree of disapproval may be displayed. In addition, when there are three or more inspection workers, a portable terminal that has been input an operation input or a confirmation result may be automatically selected at the time of a “call”, or other inspection workers hold it. It is also possible to arbitrarily select from a plurality of portable terminals. When it is possible to select arbitrarily, it may be possible to recognize before selection by changing the display of the mobile terminal to which the operation input or the confirmation result is input from another mobile terminal.
Note that the mobile terminal 20 may include an automatic permission mode in which permission is given in the same manner as when the “yes” operation is automatically performed when another inspection operator performs a function such as recovery.
Moreover, the execution of the predetermined function of the management device 70 from the portable terminal 20 may be performed only by the special portable terminal 20 possessed by the leader of the inspector.
