Description

本発明は、ガス、水、電気等の需要家宅に設置されたメータの検針等を行うために、無線基地局を経由する無線通信回線を介して、メータに接続された無線通信機との間で通信を行う無線検針システムに関する。更に詳しくは、無線基地局の通信障害の発生に迅速かつ的確に対応できる通信障害補完装置を備えた無線検針システムに関する。 According to the present invention, in order to read a meter installed in a consumer's house such as gas, water, electricity, etc., the present invention is connected to a wireless communication device connected to the meter via a wireless communication line via a wireless base station. Regarding a wireless meter reading system that communicates with. More specifically, the present invention relates to a wireless meter reading system provided with a communication failure complementing device capable of quickly and accurately responding to the occurrence of a communication failure of a wireless base station.

ガス等の自動検針システムとして、一般通信回線を介して、各需要家宅に設置されているガスメータとの間で通信を行い、検針、監視等を行う無線検針システムが知られている（特許文献１）。このような無線検針システムでは、各需要家宅に設置されるガスメータに無線通信機を内蔵あるいは外付けし、無線通信機能を備えた管理サーバとの間で定期的に通信を行って、検針情報が管理サーバに収集される。 As an automatic meter reading system for gas or the like, a wireless meter reading system that communicates with a gas meter installed in each consumer's house via a general communication line to perform meter reading, monitoring, etc. is known (Patent Document 1). ). In such a wireless meter reading system, a wireless communication device is built in or externally attached to the gas meter installed in each customer's house, and communication is periodically performed with a management server equipped with a wireless communication function to obtain meter reading information.

ここで、通信障害は各種の原因で発生する可能性があり、通信障害により一時的に検針不可の状態が発生したとしても、次の定期検針の時点では回復している場合もある。無線基地局を経由する携帯電話回線を介して無線検針システムを構築する場合において、一時的な通信障害は、無線基地局の側の通信障害が原因となって発生する場合もある。また、無線基地局の側において、機器の交換作業、保守点検作業等によって一時的に通信が遮断される場合もある。通信回線の側が原因となる通信障害の場合には、通信障害の内容によっては復旧に時間が掛かり、検針を行えない期間が長くなる可能性もある。 Here, the communication failure may occur due to various causes, and even if a state in which meter reading is temporarily impossible occurs due to the communication failure, it may be recovered at the time of the next periodic meter reading. When constructing a wireless meter reading system via a mobile phone line via a wireless base station, a temporary communication failure may occur due to a communication failure on the side of the wireless base station. In addition, communication may be temporarily cut off on the wireless base station side due to equipment replacement work, maintenance and inspection work, and the like. In the case of a communication failure caused by the communication line side, it may take a long time to recover depending on the content of the communication failure, and the period during which meter reading cannot be performed may be long.

従来の無線検針システムにおいては、通信回線側に起因する通信障害については着目されていない。通信障害の原因が、無線通信機の側にあるのか、通信回線の側にあるのかを迅速に特定できない。このため、担当作業員が、通信のできない無線通信機の設置場所まで出向き、無線通信機を確認するなどの作業が必要であり、通信障害の原因の判明に時間を要し、迅速かつ的確に通信障害の対策をとることができないという課題がある。 In the conventional wireless meter reading system, attention is not paid to the communication failure caused by the communication line side. It is not possible to quickly identify whether the cause of the communication failure is on the side of the wireless communication device or on the side of the communication line. For this reason, it is necessary for the worker in charge to go to the installation location of the wireless communication device that cannot communicate, check the wireless communication device, etc., and it takes time to find out the cause of the communication failure, so quickly and accurately. There is a problem that it is not possible to take measures against communication failures.

本発明の目的は、このような点に鑑みて、無線通信回線を利用して検針等を行う無線検針システムにおける通信障害の原因を的確かつ迅速に判別できるようにすることにある。 In view of these points, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to accurately and quickly determine the cause of a communication failure in a wireless meter reading system that performs meter reading or the like using a wireless communication line.
