Embodiment 1

1 is a block diagram of a building equipment management device according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, a management area (not shown) is divided into a plurality of management areas. In each management zone, the device 1 is installed. The user of the management area carries the hands-free IC tag 2.

Each management zone is managed by the affiliated system 3. The cooperation system 3 is a building facility management device provided with an entrance / exit room management device 4 and a building management device 5. The entrance and exit room management apparatus 4 is provided with the function which manages the entrance and exit room of each user. The building management apparatus 5 is equipped with the function which controls each apparatus 1.

Next, the room entrance management apparatus 4 is demonstrated concretely.

The entrance and exit room management apparatus 4 includes an IC tag reading unit 4a, a storage unit 4b, an authentication unit 4c, and a determination unit 4d.

IC tag reader 4a is provided in each management zone. The IC tag reading part 4a reads the information of the IC tag 2 which a user carries, and functions as an identification means which identifies a user. The storage unit 4b functions as a storage means for storing personal information. The personal information includes authentication information for each user, image information, and assumed path information. The authentication unit 4c has a function of authenticating a user based on the information and authentication information of the IC tag 2. The determination unit 4d has a function of acquiring assumed route information corresponding to the authenticated user.

Next, the building management apparatus 5 is demonstrated concretely.

The building management apparatus 5 is equipped with the apparatus control part 5a, the memory | storage part 5b, and the control part 5c.

The device control unit 5a is provided corresponding to each device 1. The device control section 5a has a function of controlling each device 1. The storage unit 5b has a function of storing device information. The device information includes the information of the management zone corresponding to each device 1. The control part 5c functions as a control means which controls each device 1 via each device control part 5a based on the assumed route information acquired by the determination part 4d of the entrance / exit room management apparatus 4.

Next, the operation of the cooperative system 3 will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

2 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the building equipment management device according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

First, in step 1, the IC tag reading unit 4a of the entrance / exit room management apparatus 4 performs the detection process of the IC tag 2. When the IC tag 2 is not detected, the associated system 3 is in a standby state until the IC tag 2 is detected. On the other hand, when IC tag 2 is detected, it progresses to step S2.

In step S2, the authentication part 4c of the entrance / exit room management apparatus 4 performs user authentication process. If the user is not authenticated, the process returns to step S1. On the other hand, when a user is authenticated, it progresses to step S3.

In step S3, the determination part 4d of the entrance / exit room management apparatus 4 performs a route determination process. Specifically, the determination unit 4d of the entrance / exit management apparatus 4 is assumed to correspond to the number of the IC tag 2 and the number of the IC tag reading unit 4a that detected the IC tag 2. Based on the information, information of each management zone on the assumed route is obtained.

Thereafter, the flow advances to step S4, and the control unit 5c of the building management device 5 performs the control device determination processing. Specifically, the control unit 5c of the building management device 5 determines that the device 1 corresponding to each management zone on the assumed route is to be controlled.

Thereafter, the flow advances to step S5, where the control unit 5c of the building management device 5 performs control output processing. Specifically, the control unit 5c of the building management device 5 outputs a control command to the device control unit 5a corresponding to the device 1 to be controlled, and returns to step S1.

Next, the control method at the time of making illumination into the apparatus 1 is demonstrated using FIG.

It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the management area managed by the building equipment management apparatus in Embodiment 1 of this invention.

In FIG. 3, the 1st management zone and the 2nd management zone are adjacent on the assumed path | route of a user. Illumination 6a is provided in the ceiling surface of a 1st management area. The lighting 6b is provided in the ceiling surface of a 2nd management area. These lights 6a and 6b are turned off.

In this state, consider the case where the user 7 moves from the first management zone to the second management zone. In this case, the cooperation system 3 detects that the user 7 is in the first management zone. At this time, the cooperation system 3 lights the illumination 6a of a 1st management area. Thereby, the whole 1st management area | region becomes bright. On the other hand, the cooperation system 3 keeps the lights out of the illumination 6b of a 2nd management area. As a result, the entire second management zone remains dark.

Thereafter, when the user 7 moves to the second management zone, the cooperation system 3 detects that the user 7 is in the second management zone. At this time, the affiliated system 3 turns off the illumination 6a of the first management zone. As a result, the entire first management zone is darkened. On the other hand, the cooperation system 3 lights the illumination 6b of a 2nd management area. Thereby, the whole 2nd management area | region becomes bright.

According to Embodiment 1 demonstrated above, illumination 6a, 6b of the vicinity of the assumed path corresponding to the identified user 7 is controlled one by one. For this reason, for example, a user 7 such as a circulator traveling through each of the administrative areas in the state of security can be guided by a path. At this time, in response to the control of the lights 6a and 6b, if the release of the guard mode, the lighting or blinking of the guidance, the buzzer or the voice guidance are performed, the control of the control door on the assumed path is performed. The assumed path can be moved in peace without operating the lights 6a, 6b and the like.

In addition, when the user 7 is identified in the vicinity of the assumed path, the illuminations 6a and 6b near the identification means identifying the user 7 are controlled. For this reason, the power consumption of illumination 6a, 6b can be suppressed.

In addition, it is not necessary to necessarily provide the IC tag reading part 4a of the entrance / exit room management apparatus 4 in each management area. For example, the IC tag reading unit 4a of the entrance / exit room management apparatus 4 may be provided only at the entrance and exit of the management area. In this case, the viewpoint of the assumed route corresponding to the user 7 is used as the entrance and exit of the management area, and the illumination near the assumed route may be sequentially controlled from the illumination near the viewpoint of the assumed route to the illumination near the end point of the assumed route. . This control can also lead the user 7 to a path.

In addition, when the user 7 is identified in the vicinity of the assumed path, the illumination adjacent to the moving destination side of the illumination near the identification means identifying the user 7 may be controlled. In this case, the user 7 can easily recognize the moving destination.

In addition, it is not necessary to limit the method of guiding the user 7 to the path of lighting. For example, the user 7 can be guided to the path even if the illumination of the vicinity of the assumed path is blinked in sequence. Even if the illumination of the illumination near the assumed path is temporarily changed in order, the user 7 can be guided to the path. On the other hand, if the lighting is turned off after turning on the illumination of the vicinity of the assumed path, the user 7 can confirm that the correct path has been passed.

Thus, what is necessary is just to select the content to control from all the control about the illumination on an assumed path according to the objective. For example, in returning to an assumed route in a tour of an office building, different control may be performed on the way and the way back. Specifically, on the way, the illumination near the assumed path may be sequentially turned on in accordance with the movement of the user 7. On the other hand, on the way back, the illumination on the assumed route may be turned off in sequence in accordance with the movement of the user 7. According to this control, illumination can be turned off automatically after the end of the circulation while guiding the user 7 to the path.

In addition, the device 1 to be controlled may be any device that can be controlled by the building management device 5. For example, an air conditioner may be a control object. In this case, similarly to lighting, the content to be controlled according to the objective may be selected from all the control with respect to the air conditioner on an assumed path | route. For example, what is necessary is just to control ON / OFF of an air conditioner, cooling and heating, temperature setting, humidity setting, etc.

Moreover, when the management area is a factory, you may control the electric motor which drives a valve, a fan, a pump, etc. according to the movement of the user 7.

Steps S1 to S5 are the same as those in FIG. 2 of the first embodiment. In Embodiment 3, it progresses to step S6 after step S5. In step S6, the image determination part 4e of the entrance / exit room management apparatus 4 performs image determination processing. Specifically, the image determining unit 4e of the room entering / exiting management apparatus 4 detects the user 7 based on the image information of the personal information.

When the user 7 is not detected, the alliance system 3 is in a waiting state until the user 7 is detected. When the user 7 is detected, the process returns to step S3, and the determination unit 4d of the entrance / exit room management apparatus 4 repeats the route determination processing.

At this time, when the camera 9 separated from the originally assumed path detects the user 7, the cooperation system 3 changes the device 1 to be controlled. Specifically, the cooperation system 3 sequentially controls the device 1 from the device 1 corresponding to the camera 9 that has detected the user 7 toward the device 1 near the originally assumed path. .

According to the third embodiment described above, the path determination process is repeated. For this reason, even if the user 7 carries a wrong path, it can lead to the correct path again.

In addition, the user 7 is tracked by the camera 9. For this reason, the user 7 can be identified more reliably.

In Embodiment 1, the example in which the user 7 moves from a 1st management area to a 2nd management area was demonstrated. On the other hand, in Embodiment 4, the case where the user 7 moves to a seat from a management door is demonstrated.

In FIG. 7, the management door 10 is provided in the entrance (not shown) of each management area. In each management zone, the seat 11 of each user 7 is provided. On the ceiling surface of each management zone, a plurality of lights 12a to 12d and the like are provided. The building management apparatus 5 performs energy saving control with respect to all the lights 12a-12d etc. of a management area. As a result, the front lights 12a to 12d are in an unlit state or a dimmed state.

In this state, the case where the user 7 enters a management area is considered. In this case, the entrance / exit room management apparatus 4 detects the user 7 in the vicinity of the management door 10. Based on this detection result, the building management apparatus 5 temporarily illuminates or lights up the lighting 12a-12d between the management door 10 and the user's seat 11 of the user. When the user 7 leaves the room, when the button of the IC tag 2 is operated, the building management device 5 illuminates the lighting 12a ˜ between the management door 10 and the user seat 11 of the user 7. Temporarily brighten or light 12d).

According to Embodiment 4 demonstrated above, only illumination 12a-12d between the management door 10 and the user seat 11 of the user 7 is controlled. For this reason, energy saving control can be maintained with respect to illumination other than illumination 12a-12d.

Embodiment 5:

It is a cross-sectional view of the management area managed by the building equipment management apparatus in Embodiment 5 of this invention. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same or equivalent part as Embodiment 4, and description is abbreviate | omitted.

In Embodiment 4, the case where the user 7 moves to the seat 11 from the management door 10 was demonstrated. On the other hand, in Embodiment 5, the case where the user 7 moves in a shared area is demonstrated.

In Fig. 8, 13 is a common area. The common area 13 consists of a large lobby or the like. One side of the common area 13 is provided with a first entrance (not shown). One side of the management door 10 is provided in the 1st entrance and exit. On the other side of the common area 13, a second entrance (not shown) is provided.
