Abstract
A monitoring system comprises an equipment management device, a relay server, and monitoring terminals. The equipment management device is configured to establish with the relay server first communication for notifying the monitoring terminals of the states of equipment items. Furthermore, the equipment management device is configured to establish with the relay server second communication, which is different from the first communication, for monitoring equipment information regarding the equipment items from each of the monitoring terminals. The monitoring terminals establish the first communication and second communication with the relay server. The relay server is configured to relay the first communication and second communication.
Claims11
A monitoring system comprising:
- an equipment management device configured to manage equipment items installed in a building;
- a server;
- and
- a terminal, wherein
- the server comprises a first port and a second port different from the first port;
- the equipment management device comprises:
- a notifier configured to establish with the server communication by connecting one port of the equipment management device and the first port, and to notify the server of states of the equipment items;
- and
- a transmitter configured to establish communication with the server by connecting another port of the equipment management device and the second port, and to receive a request for the equipment information relating to the equipment items from the server, and to transmit the equipment information to the server in response to the received request;
- and
- the terminal comprises:
- an acquirer configured to establish communication with the server by connecting one port of the terminal and the first port, and to acquire the states of the equipment items from the server;
- a receiver configured to establish communication with the server by connecting another port of the terminal and the second port, and to transmit a request for the equipment information to the server and to receive the equipment information from the server;
- and
- a presenter configured to present to a user the states of the equipment items acquired by the acquirer and the equipment information received by the receiver.
(canceled)
An equipment management device configured to connect to a server and to manage equipment items installed in a building, comprising:
- a notifier configured to establish with a server communication by connecting one port of the equipment management device and a first port of the server, and to notify the server of states of the equipment items;
- and
- a transmitter configured to establish communication with the server by connecting another port of the equipment management device and a second port of the server different from the first port, to receive from the server a request for equipment information regarding the equipment items, and to transmit the equipment information to the server in response to the received request.
A monitoring method that is executed by a monitoring system comprising an equipment management device configured to manage equipment items installed in a building, a server, and a terminal, comprising:
- establishing by the equipment management device communication with the server by connecting one port of the equipment management device and a first port of the server, and notifying the server of states of the equipment items;
- establishing by the equipment management device communication with the server by connecting another port of the equipment management device and a second port of the server that is different from the first port, receiving a request for equipment information regarding the equipment items from the server, and transmitting the equipment information to the server in response to the received request;
- establishing by the terminal communication with the server by connecting one port of the terminal and the first port, and acquiring from the server the states of the equipment items;
- establishing by the terminal communication with the server by connecting another port of the terminal and the second port, transmitting a request for the equipment information to the server, and receiving the equipment information from the server;
- and
- presenting by the terminal to a user the acquired states of the equipment items and the received equipment information.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for allowing a computer connecting to a server and managing equipment items installed in a building to function as:
- notification means for establishing with the server communication by connecting one port of the computer and a first port of the server, and notifying the server of states of the equipment items;
- and
- transmission means for establishing with the server by connecting another port of the computer and a second port of the server that is different from the first port, receiving a request for equipment information regarding the equipment items from the server, and transmitting the equipment information to the server in response to the received request.
