Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2002-68610

As in the operation simulation result of Patent Document 1, the usage status of each floor of the building is not only useful when designing a new building, but also renewing an existing building (for example, replacement of tenants, smoking area, etc.). It is also useful when changing the installation floor of a cafeteria, etc.). In addition, when making such a decision, not only the operation status of the elevator, but also the entry / exit status, the usage status of equipment (for example, air conditioning, lighting), the power consumption status, etc., are aggregated for each floor. Numerical information is required.

However, it is not easy to accurately grasp the usage status of the building from the aggregated numerical information as described above. In particular, as the building becomes taller, the number of elevators increases, and the number of tenants occupying the building increases, it becomes difficult to grasp the usage status of the building.

Hereinafter, in the present specification, those having the same function are designated by the same reference numerals, and the repeated description thereof will be omitted unless otherwise specified.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of an elevator 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The elevator 1 of the present embodiment mainly includes a car 2, a tail code 3, and an elevator control device 10. Since the mechanical configuration of the elevator 1 is the same as before, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The car 2 has an internal space in which a user appears, and also has a car door 4 for entering and exiting the internal space. The car 2 is connected to a counterweight (not shown) via a main rope (not shown) in a hoistway 5 extending vertically in the building. Then, the car 2 travels in the hoistway 5 in the vertical direction by winding or feeding the main rope by a hoist (not shown).

The elevator control device 10 is installed in, for example, a machine room 6 provided in the upper part of the hoistway 5. The elevator control device 10 is connected to the car 2 via the tail cord 3. The elevator control device 10 transmits a control signal for operating the car 2 through the tail code 3, and receives operation information of the car 2 through the tail code 3.

On each floor of the building, landings 7a and 7b are provided at positions adjacent to the hoistway 5. When the car 2 stops at a position facing the landing 7a and 7b and the car door 4 opens, the person in the landing 7a and 7b gets on the car 2 and the person in the car 2 gets off the elevator 1. Can be done.

Operation panels 8a and 8b are installed at the landings 7a and 7b. The operation panels 8a and 8b include at least one of an upper call button that calls the car 2 that moves upward from the floor and a lower call button that calls the car 2 that moves downward from the floor. More specifically, the operation panel 8a on the lowest floor includes only the upper call button, the operation panel 8b on the top floor includes only the lower call button, and the operation panel on the middle floor, which is not shown, is the upper call button. And both the lower call button. The elevator control device 10 receives information indicating that the operation panels 8a and 8b have been pressed through a signal line (not shown).

Next, the building information visualization system 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration of a building information visualization system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The building information visualization system 100 includes a customer building 20 connected through communication networks 13 and 14, a visualization device (building information visualization device) 30, and a customer operation terminal 40. The communication networks 13 and 14 may be, for example, the Internet, a mobile communication network, a wired LAN, a wireless LAN, a dedicated line, or a combination thereof. Further, the communication networks 13 and 14 may be one communication network (for example, the Internet). Further, the number of the customer building 20 and the customer operation terminal 40 connected to the building information visualization system 100 is not limited to one, and may be a plurality.

The customer building 20 has a plurality of floors (for example, the 15th floor of B2 to 13F). Further, one or more elevators 1 are installed in the customer building 20. Six elevators 1 (in FIG. 2, the elevator control devices 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e, and 10f of each of the six elevators are shown) are installed in the customer building 20 (building A) shown in FIG. There is.

The six elevators 1 operating in the customer building (A building) 20 belong to either bank A for high-rise buildings or bank B for low-rise buildings. Bank A is a group of elevators whose stop floors are B2, 1F, 8F to 13F. On the other hand, bank B is a group of elevators whose stop floor range is B1 to 7F. The elevator control devices 10a to 10c are connected to the bank management device 11, and the elevator control devices 10d to 10f are connected to the bank management device 12.

The operation of the three elevators 1 belonging to the bank A is controlled by the bank management device 11, and the operation of the three elevators 1 belonging to the bank B is controlled by the bank management device 12. Further, the bank management devices 11 and 12 collect operation information of the elevator 1 managed by themselves (for example, the number of people staying on each floor, the waiting time of the elevator, the number of registrations of elevator calls, etc.) through the elevator control devices 10a to 10f.

The number of people staying is, for example, a value obtained by dividing the difference between the values detected by the weight sensor (not shown) provided in the elevator 1 by a predetermined average weight (for example, 50 kg) when the elevator 1 stops at the landings 7a and 7b. Is the cumulative value of. That is, if the detection value of the weight sensor decreases by 200 kg between the opening and closing of the car door 4, four people get off the elevator 1 (the number of people staying on the floor has increased by four). .. On the other hand, if the detection value of the weight sensor increases by 1500 kg between the opening and closing of the car door 4, it means that three people have boarded the elevator 1 (the number of people staying on the floor has decreased by three). ..

The elevator waiting time is the elapsed time from when the upper call button or the lower call button of the operation panels 8a and 8b is pressed until the elevator 1 arrives at the corresponding landings 7a and 7b. The elevator waiting time is, for example, the difference between the time when the operation panels 8a and 8b are operated and the time when the elevator 1 is stopped at the corresponding landings 7a and 7b. The number of elevator call registrations is the number of times the upper call button and lower call button of the operation panels 8a and 8b are pressed. The elevator waiting time and the number of elevator call registrations on the middle floor may be counted separately for the case where the upper call button is pressed and the case where the lower call button is pressed.

For example, the elevator control devices 10a to 10f provide information for calculating operation information (for example, the difference between the detected values by the weight sensor, the time when the operation panels 8a and 8b are operated, the time when the elevator 1 is stopped, etc.). Collect from the corresponding elevator 1 every second. Then, the elevator control devices 10a to 10f calculate the cumulative value of the number of people staying every 15 minutes, the average value of the elevator waiting time, and the cumulative value of the number of elevator call registrations based on the collected information, and correspond to the calculated result. It is transmitted to the bank management devices 11 and 12.

The bank management devices 11 and 12 store the operation information every 15 minutes acquired from the elevator control devices 10a to 10f in a storage device (not shown). Then, the bank management devices 11 and 12 add the corresponding building ID, bank ID, elevator ID, date and time information, and floor name to the operation information collected in a predetermined period (for example, one day), and communicate with each other. It is transmitted to the visualization device 30 through the network 13.

The building ID is a building identifier that identifies the building in which the elevator 1 from which the operation information is collected is installed. The bank ID is a bank identifier that identifies the bank to which the elevator 1 from which the operation information is collected belongs. The elevator ID is an elevator identifier that identifies the elevator 1 from which operation information is collected. The date and time information indicates the range of the collection date and time (start time to end time) of the operation information. The floor name is a floor identifier that identifies the floor for which operation information is to be collected.

The method of totaling the operation information, the method of collecting the operation information, and the timing of transmission are not limited to the above examples. As an example, the information collected by the elevator control devices 10a to 10f may be transmitted to the visualization device 30 in real time through the bank management devices 11 and 12, and aggregated by the visualization device 30. As another example, the maintenance personnel may copy the information stored in the storage devices of the bank management devices 11 and 12 to the maintenance terminal and register the information in the visualization device 30.

The visualization device 30 mainly includes a storage device 31, an aggregation processing unit 32, a matrix generation unit 33, and a visualization processing unit 34. The visualization device 30 includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and a communication interface. When the CPU reads and executes the program code stored in the ROM, the software and the hardware cooperate to function as the aggregation processing unit 32, the matrix generation unit 33, and the visualization processing unit, and various other functions. Execute the process. That is, the aggregation processing unit 32, the matrix generation unit 33, and the visualization processing unit 34 correspond to the algorithm executed by the controller.

The storage device 31 is composed of a ROM, a RAM, or an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). As shown in FIG. 3, the storage device 31 stores the user DB 31A and the building usage information DB 31B. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the data structures of the user DB 31A and the building usage information DB 31B.

The user DB 31A stores, for example, a user ID, a password, attribute information, and a building ID in association with each other. The user ID and password are user identifiers for identifying a user who can access the visualization device 30. The attribute information is information indicating the attributes of the user, and for example, values such as a "building management company" that manages a plurality of buildings and a "building owner" that owns the buildings are set. The building ID identifies the building corresponding to the user. That is, the building IDs "building A" and "building B" corresponding to the attribute information "building management company" identify the building managed by the user. Further, the building ID "building C" corresponding to the attribute information "building owner" identifies the building owned by the user.

The building usage information DB 31B stores, for example, the building ID, the bank ID, the elevator ID, the date and time information, the floor name, the number of people staying, the elevator waiting time, and the number of elevator registrations in association with each other. .. These information are information acquired from the bank management devices 11 and 12. In addition, the building usage information DB 31B contains elevator operation information (number of times the car door 4 is opened and closed, number of times the car door 4 is inverted, number of times the elevator 1 is started, etc.) acquired from the elevator control devices 10a to 10f, the operation status of the escalator, and entry. Information indicating the exit status, the usage status of equipment (for example, air conditioning, lighting), and the power consumption status may be included in the "Other" item. This information is collected by a collection device (not shown) installed in the building.

The number of people staying, elevator waiting time, number of elevator registrations, other elevator operation information, escalator operation status, entry / exit status, equipment usage (for example, air conditioning, lighting) usage status, power consumption status are shown in the customer building 20 building. This is an example of usage information. However, specific examples of building usage information are not limited to these, and all numerical information indicating the usage status of floors corresponds to building usage information.

The aggregation processing unit 32 aggregates the building usage information included in the building usage information DB 31B according to the designated conditions specified by the user. As an example, the aggregation processing unit 32 aggregates a plurality of building usage information associated with the same floor name every aggregation cycle (for example, 1 hour, 1 day, January) specified by the user. As another example, the aggregation processing unit 32 aggregates (for example, cumulative, average) a plurality of building usage information associated with the same bank ID. The details of the aggregation processing unit 32 will be described later with reference to FIG.

The matrix generation unit 33 generates, for example, the matrix data 3016, 3026, 3036 shown in FIGS. 5 to 7. The matrix data is data showing a two-dimensional matrix in which the first axis is the floor and the second axis orthogonal to the first axis is time. Further, each cell located at the intersection of the floor and the time of the two-dimensional matrix has a different display mode depending on the size of the building usage information corresponding to the floor name indicating the floor and the date and time information indicating the time. ..

The cell display mode is, for example, at least one of a color type (for example, blue, green, yellow, red, etc.), a shade of color, and a pattern (for example, a hatch line width, a dot density, etc.). Refers to one. As an example, the smaller the value of the building usage information, the closer to blue, and the larger the value of the building usage information, the closer to red. As another example, the smaller the value of the building usage information, the lighter the color, and the larger the value of the building usage information, the darker the color.

In the present embodiment, when the value of the building usage information is positive, a dot pattern is added to the corresponding cell, the smaller the absolute value is, the lower the dot density is, and the larger the absolute value is, the higher the dot density is. ing. When the value of the building usage information is negative, a hatching pattern is added to the corresponding cell, the smaller the absolute value, the narrower the line width, and the larger the absolute value, the thicker the line width. However, the relationship between the value of the building usage information and the display mode may be changed according to the preference of the user of the customer operation terminal 40.

Further, in the present embodiment, the first axis is the vertical axis and the second axis is the horizontal axis. The vertical axis refers to an axis extending along the vertical direction of letters (numbers). On the other hand, the horizontal axis refers to an axis orthogonal to the vertical axis. However, the methods of the first axis and the second axis are not limited to the above-mentioned example, and the first axis may be the horizontal axis and the second axis may be the vertical axis.

The visualization processing unit 35 executes a process of visualizing the matrix data generated by the matrix generation unit 33. The visualization process includes, for example, displaying the matrix data on the display (not shown) of the visualization device 30, having the printer connected to the visualization device 30 print out the matrix data, and displaying the matrix data on the display of the customer operation terminal 40. For example, the matrix data is transmitted to the customer operation terminal 40. The data format of the matrix data is not particularly limited, but for example, an image format, an HTML format, an XML format, a CSV format, or the like can be adopted.

The customer operation terminal 40 is an information processing terminal owned by the customer, and includes a display, an operation device (for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel), and a communication interface. Specific examples of the customer operation terminal 40 are not particularly limited, but examples thereof include PCs, tablets, and smartphones.

Next, the process between the visualization device 30 and the customer operation terminal 40 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of processing executed between the visualization device 30 and the customer operation terminal 40. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a building information screen 301 including matrix data 3016.

In the present embodiment, the following description will be given assuming that the visualization device 30 functions as a Web server and a Web browser is installed in the customer operation terminal 40. However, the visualization device 30 and the customer operation terminal 40 form a client & server type system, and a dedicated program may be installed in the customer operation terminal 40.

First, the user of the customer operation terminal 40 inputs the user ID and password assigned to him / her on the login page (not shown) through the operation device. Then, the customer operation terminal 40 transmits the user ID and password entered by the user to the visualization device 30 through the communication network 14 in order to request login (S11). Here, it is assumed that the user ID "001" and the password "abc" have been entered.

The visualization device 30 reads out the building IDs "building A" and "building B" associated with the user ID and password from the user DB 31A in response to receiving the user ID and password from the customer operation terminal 40. Then, the visualization device 30 generates a building information screen based on the read building ID (S12), and transmits the generated building information screen to the customer operation terminal 40 through the communication network 14 (S13).

The customer operation terminal 40 displays the building information screen on the display in response to receiving the building information screen from the visualization device 30 (S14). The building information screen displayed here is, for example, in the building information screen 301 shown in FIG. 5, the “maximum number of people (people)” column in the bank selection area 3012, the display method designation area 3013, and the setting content display area 3014. Is blank, and the matrix data 3016 is hidden.

As shown in FIG. 5, the building information screen 301 includes a building usage information selection area 3011, a bank selection area 3012, a display method designation area 3013, a setting content display area 3014, and a [display] button 3015.

The building usage information selection area 3011 includes a pull-down menu that allows the user to select the type of building usage information to be displayed in the matrix data cell. The bank selection area 3012 includes a check box for selecting a building and a bank to be visualized, an area for displaying the number of elevators 1 belonging to the corresponding bank, and an area for displaying the maximum number of people staying in the corresponding bank. In the bank selection area 3012, all the banks associated with the building ID read by the visualization device 30 in S12 can be selected.

The display method designation area 3013 includes a unit time designation column and a comparison display column. The unit time designation field includes a radio button for specifying the aggregation unit (aggregation cycle) of the building usage information and a text box for inputting the aggregation target period of the building usage information. The comparison display field includes a check box for comparing and displaying matrix data of different aggregation target periods, and a text box for inputting the aggregation target period to be compared. In the setting content display area 3014, the content specified in the unit time designation field of the display method designation area 3013 is displayed.

The [Display] button 3015 causes the visualization device 30 to generate matrix data according to the specified conditions specified by the user through the building usage information selection area 3011, the bank selection area 3012, and the display method designation area 3013, and displays the generated matrix data. This is a button for displaying on the building information screen 301.

As an example, as shown in FIG. 5, "number of people staying" is selected in the building usage information selection area 3011, building ID "building A" and bank ID "bank B" are selected in the bank selection area 3012, and the display method is specified. The case where the radio button of "unit time" is checked in the unit time designation field of the area 3013, the aggregation target period "June 30, 2018" is input, and the [display] button 3015 is clicked will be described.

The customer operation terminal 40 requests the transmission of the matrix data in response to the click of the [Display] button 3015 (S15), so that the building usage information selection area 3011, the bank selection area 3012, and the display method designation area The designated condition specified in 3013 is transmitted to the visualization device 30 through the communication network 14 (S16).

The aggregation processing unit 32 of the visualization device 30 aggregates the building usage information registered in the building usage information DB 31B in response to receiving the designated condition from the customer operation terminal 40 (S17). More specifically, the aggregation processing unit 32 uses the building ID "building A", the bank ID "bank B", and all the records whose date and time information matches the aggregation target period "June 30, 2018". Read from information DB 31B. Next, the aggregation processing unit 32 accumulates (aggregates) the number of people staying in the read records in 1-hour units. That is, the number of people staying on June 30, 2018 is accumulated every 0:00 to 1:00, 1:00 to 2:00, ..., 23:00 to 24:00 in the aggregation cycle.

Next, the matrix generation unit 33 of the visualization device 30 generates matrix data 3016 using the designated conditions received from the customer operation terminal 40 and the building usage information aggregated by the aggregation processing unit 32 (S18). More specifically, the matrix generation unit 33 has a vertical axis of 8 cells corresponding to the stop floors (B1 to 7F) of the bank B of the building A, and a horizontal axis of 24 cells in which the aggregation target period is divided into aggregation cycles. Generates a two-dimensional matrix composed of. Then, the matrix generation unit 33 determines the display mode of each cell at the intersection of the stop floor and the aggregation cycle according to the size of the number of staying people aggregated by the aggregation processing unit 32.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the matrix generation unit 33 adds hatching with a narrower line width to each cell of the stop floor “1F” where the number of people staying is a negative number, and the absolute value is smaller. The larger the value, the thicker the line width of the hatching is added. Further, the matrix generation unit 33 adds dots with lower density as the absolute value is smaller, and dots with higher density as the absolute value is larger, to each cell on the stop floor where the number of people staying is positive. Further, the matrix generation unit 33 highlights each cell in which the number of people staying is 0.

Further, the controller of the visualization device 30 identifies the aggregation cycle 3017 with the largest number of people staying in the building from the matrix data 3016 generated by the matrix generation unit 33. Then, the controller calculates the maximum number of people staying by summing only the positive values among the number of people staying on each floor in the specified aggregation cycle 3017. Then, the visualization processing unit 34 of the visualization device 30 transmits the matrix data 3016 generated by the matrix generation unit 33 and the maximum number of people staying calculated by the controller to the customer operation terminal 40 through the communication network 14 (S19).

Next, the customer operation terminal 40 displays the matrix data 3016 received from the visualization device 30 on the building information screen 301 (S20). Further, the customer operation terminal 40 displays the received maximum number of staying people in the "maximum number of staying people (persons)" column of the bank selection area 3012. As shown in FIG. 5, the visualization device 30 calculates not only the maximum number of people staying in the bank for which the check box is checked, but also the maximum number of people staying in all the banks displayed in the bank selection area 3012, and the building information is displayed. It may be displayed on the screen 301.

According to the above embodiment, for example, the following effects are produced.

As in the above embodiment, by making the display mode of each cell of the floor and time matrix different depending on the size of the corresponding building usage information, for example, the distribution of the building usage information of each floor at the same time is the same. It is possible to intuitively grasp the time change of building usage information on the floor at a glance. As a result, when the existing building is renewed, the current usage status of the building can be easily and accurately recognized. In particular, by arranging the floors vertically, the image of the actual building can be superimposed on the matrix data, so that the usage status of the building can be grasped more intuitively.

Further, according to the above embodiment, the user can specify the aggregation cycle of the building usage information (for example, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 month, etc.) through the unit time designation field of the display method designation area 3013. .. This makes it possible to analyze the usage status of the building from various angles, from the short-term flow of people in the building to the long-term flow of people. In addition, by aggregating and displaying building usage information of a plurality of elevators 1 belonging to the same bank, it is possible to more intuitively grasp the flow of people in the building. However, the matrix data may be generated for each elevator 1 without aggregating the building usage information for each bank.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the user who requests visualization is the building owner, the bank selection area 3012 can select only the building and the bank owned by the user. On the other hand, in the bank selection area 3012, when the user who requests visualization is a building management company, only the buildings and banks of the building managed by the user can be selected. That is, the visualization device 30 is configured to be able to visualize only the building usage information of the building ID and the bank ID associated with the user ID of the user who operates the customer operation terminal 40. In this way, it is possible to present useful information for each user by separating the information that can be visualized according to the user ID (in other words, the attribute of the user).

Further, in the above embodiment, the visualization device 30 collects the building usage information collected by the bank management devices 11 and 12 in a batch process, and displays the matrix data 3016 showing the past building usage information on the customer operation terminal 40. An example was explained. However, the visualization device 30 may collect building usage information in real time from the elevator control devices 10a to 10f and visualize the matrix data indicating the current building usage information. In this case, the matrix data 3016 may be automatically updated on the building information screen 301 at predetermined time intervals as in the case of moving image reproduction.

(Modification example)
Next, a modification of the above embodiment will be described. The description of the common points with the above-described embodiment will be omitted, and the differences will be mainly described.

FIG. 6 shows both the check boxes corresponding to the building ID “building A” and the bank ID “bank A” and the check boxes corresponding to the building ID “building A” and the bank ID “bank B” in the bank selection area 3022. Is a display example of the matrix data 3026 when is checked.

First, in S17, in addition to the record including the building ID “building A” and the bank ID “bank B”, the record including the building ID “building A” and the bank ID “bank A” is further read out. It is different from the processing of. Further, in S18, it is composed of a vertical axis of 15 cells corresponding to the stopped floors (B2 to 13F) of banks A and B of the building A, and a horizontal axis of 24 cells obtained by dividing the aggregation target period into aggregation cycles. It differs from the process of FIG. 5 in that a two-dimensional matrix is generated. Other processing is common to the case of FIG.

As a result, the matrix data 3026 shown in FIG. 6 is generated and displayed on the display of the customer operation terminal 40. The matrix data 3026 includes a stop floor (B2, 1F, 8F to 13F) indicated by bank A (first bank identifier) and a stop floor (B1 to 7F) indicated by bank B (second bank identifier). Is different from the matrix data 3016 shown in FIG. 5 in that is merged on the vertical axis.

According to the building information screen 302 shown in FIG. 6, the flow of people in the entire building A can be intuitively grasped at a glance. For example, referring to FIG. 6, it can be seen that the time zone 3027 where the number of users of the elevator 1 belonging to the bank A is maximum and the time zone 3028 where the number of users of the elevator 1 belonging to the bank B is maximum are different. It can be grasped intuitively at a glance.

FIG. 7 is a display example of matrix data 3036 and 3037 when the check box in the comparison display column is checked and the aggregation target period “June 30, 2015” for comparison is input in the display method designation area 3033. be.

First, in S17, in addition to the record whose date and time information matches the aggregation target period "June 30, 2018", the record whose date and time information matches the aggregation target period "June 30, 2018" is further added. It differs from the process of FIG. 5 in that it is read out. Further, in S18, in addition to the matrix data 3036 corresponding to the aggregation target period "June 30, 2018", the matrix data 3037 corresponding to the aggregation target period "June 30, 2015" to be compared is further generated. In that respect, it differs from the processing of FIG. Other processing is common to the case of FIG.

As a result, the matrix data 3036 and 3037 shown in FIG. 7 are generated and displayed in parallel on the display of the customer operation terminal 40. Further, the setting content display areas 3034A and 3034B are displayed in association with the matrix data 3036 and 3037, respectively. According to the building information screen 303 shown in FIG. 7, the change in the flow of people in the building A between the past (June 30, 2015) and the present (June 30, 2018) (for example, the number of people staying is maximum). Changes in time zones, changes in the maximum number of people staying on each floor, etc.) can be grasped intuitively at a glance.

In the example of FIG. 7, an example in which matrix data 3036 and 3037 are generated for each range (aggregation target period) of a plurality of collection dates and times specified by the user has been described, but the method of selecting the matrix data to be displayed in parallel is described. Not limited to this.

As an example, the user may specify one aggregation target period and a plurality of buildings through the customer operation terminal 40. Then, the visualization device 30 may aggregate the building usage information of the aggregation target period for each of a plurality of buildings designated by the user to generate matrix data. This makes it possible to compare the usage status of different buildings at the same time. As another example, the matrix data for each bank of one building may be displayed in parallel, or the matrix data of two or more buildings may be displayed in parallel. In this way, comparing the matrix data from various viewpoints can be utilized for examining the method of improving the profit and value of real estate and the satisfaction of users.
