Abstract

A planar diagram of a floor of a facility in which equipment are installed, and the units laid out on the floor, such as indoor units, are simultaneously displayed on a display apparatus. By operating a timeline displayed on the display apparatus, a user can confirm the transition of operation statuses of the indoor units installed on the floor, together with the layout of the indoor units. Thus, the user can compare and confirm the operation status of each unit without performing a troublesome operation in the event of abnormality in the units constituting an equipment system, thereby quickly identifying the cause of abnormality.

Claims

1. A management system comprising:

a storage that stores an operational status history of equipment used in a facility; and

a display that displays an operation status of the equipment at a past time based on the operational status history stored in the storage, along with a layout of the equipment in the facility.

3. The management system according to claim 1, wherein the display displays information related to the equipment, along with the layout.

4. The management system according to claim 3, wherein the information related to the equipment includes identifying information, installation position, equipment type, and properties of the equipment.

5. The management system according to claim 3, wherein the information related to the equipment includes the type and installation distance of piping connected to the equipment.

6. The management system according to claim 3, wherein the information related to the equipment includes the type and installation distance of communication lines connected to the equipment.

8. The management system according to claim 1, wherein the display displays a planar diagram of a floor of the facility and the operation status of the equipment, at a past time, included in the planar diagram.

11. The management system according to claim 1, wherein

the display further displays a timeline that shows a time when an abnormality occurred in the equipment, and

the past time is shown on the timeline and is defined by user operation.

12. The management system according to claim 11, wherein the past time automatically moves forward or backward as time passes in response to user operation.

13. The management system according to claim 11, wherein the display displays an icon of the equipment with a specific mode on the timeline when the past time matches to the time when the abnormality occurred.

14. The management system according to claim 13, wherein

the storage further stores a history of an abnormality response work conducted in response to the occurrence of abnormality, and

the display further displays an abnormality response work conducted on the abnormality occurred at the past time based on the history of the abnormality response work stored in the storage when the past time matches to the time when the abnormality occurred.

15. The management system according to claim 1, wherein

the storage further stores a weather history, and

the display further displays weather at the past time based on the weather history stored in the storage.

16. The management system according to claim 1, wherein

the storage further stores a group history that the equipment belonged, and

the display further displays a group to which the equipment belonged based on the group history stored in the storage.

17. The management system according to claim 1, wherein the display displays an operation status of the equipment at a current time, along with the layout of the equipment in the facility.

2. (canceled)

7. (canceled)

9. A display method comprising:

a step of storing an operational status history of equipment used in a facility; and

a step of displaying an operation status of the equipment based on the operational status history stored, along with a layout of the equipment in the facility.

10. A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium that stores a program that causes a computer to execute:

a procedure for storing an operational status history of equipment used in a facility; and

a procedure for displaying an operation status of the equipment based on the operational status history stored, along with a layout of the equipment in the facility.
