Next, the outline of the operation of the system to which the content distribution device 2 is applied will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining an outline of the operation of the content distribution device according to the first embodiment.

In step S1, the mobile terminal 3 activates the visit management application by the operation of the maintenance staff. After that, the mobile terminal 3 performs the operation of step S2. In step S2, the mobile terminal 3 transmits the information of the visited building number and the elevator number to the content distribution device 2.

After that, the content distribution device 2 performs the operation of step S3. In step S3, the content distribution device 2 distributes the visit ID information to the signage device 1 provided in the elevator corresponding to the elevator number among the plurality of elevators. After that, the content distribution device 2 performs the operation of step S4. In step S4, the content distribution device 2 updates the distribution history information of the visit ID information.

After that, the mobile terminal 3 performs the operation of step S6. In step S6, the mobile terminal 3 acquires the information of the visit ID displayed on the signage device 1. After that, the mobile terminal 3 performs the operation of step S7. In step S7, the mobile terminal 3 transmits the reception history information of the visit ID information to the content distribution device 2.

After that, the content distribution device 2 performs the operation of step S8. In step S8, the content distribution device 2 stores the distribution history information of the visit ID information and the reception history information of the ID information in association with each other. After that, the operation of the system ends.

According to the first embodiment described above, the content distribution device 2 includes the distribution history information of the visit ID information by the visit management unit 2c and the reception history information of the visit ID information from the signage device 1 by the mobile terminal 3. Is linked and memorized. For example, the content distribution device 2 can be realized by expanding the functions of the current content distribution device of the elevator. Therefore, visit management of visitors such as maintenance personnel can be easily and inexpensively performed without requiring special equipment. As a result, not only the maintenance time of the elevator but also the visit information for the poster of the maintenance date can be transmitted to the smartphone of the elevator owner.

The visit ID information may be set as appropriate. For example, as the visit ID information, a QR code (registered trademark) associated with the visit destination and the date and time may be displayed. For example, as the visit ID information, a one-time password associated with the visit destination and the date and time may be displayed. For example, today's words, news, etc. may be displayed as the content associated with the visited destination and the date and time. For example, the character information of the visited destination and the date and time may be displayed as the content associated with the visited destination and the date and time. In this case as well, the visit management of the visitor can be performed without requiring special equipment.

Further, the visit ID information may be information that is difficult for people to recognize. For example, as the visit ID information, the signage device 1 may output light that changes any one of the color, the brightness, and the blinking state under the conditions associated with the visit destination and the date and time. For example, as the information of the visit ID, the signage device 1 may output the digital watermark associated with the visit destination and the date and time. In these cases, even if the visit ID information is always displayed, it is possible to prevent the visit ID from being recognized by a visitor other than the visitor who is the target of the visit management.

Further, the visit ID information is displayed on the signage device 1 provided in the elevator corresponding to the elevator number among the plurality of elevators. Therefore, it is possible to reliably manage visits to elevators that require maintenance.

Further, when the operation mode of the elevator corresponding to the signage device 1 is switched to the maintenance mode for performing maintenance work, the information of the visit ID may be output to the signage device 1. In this case, it is possible to prevent the visit ID from being displayed unnecessarily.

Further, the mobile terminal 3 may transmit not only the information indicating the visit destination of the maintenance staff but also the identification information of the maintenance staff to the content distribution device 2 by the operation of the mobile terminal 3 by the maintenance staff. At this time, the content distribution device 2 may distribute the information of the visit ID associated with the visit destination, the date and time, and the maintenance staff. In this case, visit management can be performed after reliably identifying the visitor.

Next, an example of the content distribution device 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
