Abstract

A restoration information registration device for elevators capable of quickly registering restoration information on the elevator. The restoration information registration device for the elevators includes an operation unit that receives an operation from the outside, a storage unit that stores, when restoration information on the elevator is input by the operation on the operation unit, the restoration information, and a transmission unit that, when restoration information on a plurality of elevators is stored in the storage unit, collectively transmits the restoration information on the plurality of elevators. Accordingly, it is possible to quickly register the restoration information on the elevator.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A restoration information registration device for elevators, comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
receive, via cellular phone communication, identification information of one or more elevators that are not restored following a disaster event, from a restoration information management device;
receive an operation from a user;
store, when restoration information on an elevator, among the one or more elevators, is input by the user operation, the restoration information in a memory;
when restoration information on a plurality of elevators is stored in a memory, output a transmission instruction for automatically and collectively transmitting the restoration information on the plurality of elevators; and
automatically and collectively transmit, via wireless communication, the restoration information on the plurality of elevators stored in the memory based on the transmission instruction to a monitoring device that is provided on one of the plurality of elevators, which causes the monitoring device to transmit the restoration information to the restoration information management device via a non-cellular telephone line.

2. The restoration information registration device for elevators according to claim 1 , wherein
the processing circuitry outputs a transmission instruction to periodically transmit the restoration information on the plurality of elevators, for every one of a predetermined time interval, when the restoration information on the plurality of elevators is stored.

3. The restoration information registration device for elevators according to claim 1 , wherein
the processing circuitry outputs a transmission instruction to transmit the restoration information on the plurality of elevators when an amount of the restoration information on the plurality of elevators exceeds a preset amount when the restoration information on the plurality of elevators is stored.

4. The restoration information registration device for elevators according to claim 1 , wherein
the processing circuitry outputs a transmission instruction to transmit the restoration information on the plurality of elevators when that a current time is past a preset time when the restoration information on the plurality of elevators is stored.

5. A restoration information registration method, implemented by a restoration information registration device, comprising:
receiving, via cellular phone communication, identification information of one or more elevators that are not restored following a disaster event, from a restoration information management device;
storing restoration information on an elevator, among the one or more elevators, in a memory;
when restoration information on a plurality of elevators is stored, outputting by processing circuitry, a transmission instruction for automatically and collectively transmitting the restoration information on the plurality of elevators; and
automatically and collectively transmitting, via wireless communication controlled by the processing circuitry, the restoration information on the plurality of elevators stored based on the transmission instruction to a monitoring device that is provided on one of the plurality of elevators, which causes the monitoring device to transmit the restoration information to the restoration information management device via a non-cellular telephone line.

6. The restoration information registration method for elevators according to claim 5 , further comprising:
outputting a transmission instruction to periodically transmit the restoration information on the plurality of elevators, for every one of a predetermined time interval, when the restoration information on the plurality of elevators is stored.

7. The restoration information registration method for elevators according to claim 5 , further comprising:
outputting a transmission instruction to transmit the restoration information on the plurality of elevators when an amount of the restoration information on the plurality of elevators exceeds a preset amount when the restoration information on the plurality of elevators is stored.

8. The restoration information registration method for elevators according to claim 5 , further comprising:
outputting a transmission instruction to transmit the restoration information on the plurality of elevators when a current time is past a preset time when the restoration information on the plurality of elevators is stored.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for storing therein a computer program that includes instructions which when executed on a computer causes the computer to execute a restoration information registration method comprising:
receiving, via cellular phone communication, identification information of one or more elevators that are not restored following a disaster event, from a restoration information management device;
storing restoration information on an elevator, among the one or more elevators, in a memory;
when restoration information on a plurality of elevators is stored, outputting a transmission instruction for automatically and collectively transmitting the restoration information on the plurality of elevators; and
automatically and collectively transmitting, via wireless communication, the restoration information on the plurality of elevators stored based on the transmission instruction to a monitoring device that is provided on one of the plurality of elevators, which causes the monitoring device to transmit the restoration information to the restoration information management device via a non-cellular telephone line.
