CENTRALIZED MONITORING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A centralized monitoring apparatus for performing centralized monitoring through a communication line for a device to be monitored such as preservation equipment, the device including a storage for storing a preservation object, a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature within the storage, and a temperature variable device configured to cool or heat an inside of the storage with reference to the detected temperature of the temperature sensor such that the temperature within the storage reaches a set temperature for preserving the preservation object, the centralized monitoring apparatus comprising:
- an input device configured to be input with first information indicative of a second time zone and second information indicative of a set temperature of the second time zone, the temperature variable device performing power saving operation in the second time zone as compared to operation in a first time zone;
a storage device configured to store the first information and the second information from the input device;
a timing device configured to measure a current time; and
a control device configured to control the temperature variable device through the communication line, based on the first information and the second information stored in the storage device and on the current time measured by the timing device, such that the temperature variable device starts operation of turning the temperature within the storage to the set temperature of the second time zone when the current time reaches a starting time of the second time zone, and that the temperature variable device terminates the operation of turning the temperature within the storage to the set temperature of the second time zone when the current time reaches an ending time of the second time zone.

Abstract
A centralized-monitoring apparatus, which centralized monitors a device including a storage, a temperature sensor to detect a temperature therein, and a temperature-variable device to cool or heat inside the storage such that the temperature reaches a set object-preservation temperature, comprises: an input device to be input with first information indicative of a time zone in which the temperature-variable device performing power-saving operation and second information indicative of a set temperature of the time zone; a storage device to store the first-and-second information from the input device; a timing device to measure a current time; and a control device to control the temperature-variable device, based on the first-and-second information and current time, so as to start operation of turning the temperature to the set temperature when the current time reaches a starting time of the time zone, and terminate the operation when the current time reaches an ending time thereof.
