When a plurality of electric devices 90 are arranged in the target space S1 (see FIG. 1 and the like), the device main body 11 may be in a state of being close to the plurality of electric devices 90 at the same time. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the proximity state is defined as a state in which the acquisition unit 14 acquires confirmation information from only one electric device 90 when a plurality of electric devices 90 execute a response operation. Specifically, in the proximity state, when a plurality of lighting fixtures 91 (electrical devices 90) simultaneously execute a response operation (light source blinking operation), the light source of only one lighting fixture 91 by the acquisition unit 14 blinks. It is in a state where it can be confirmed that it is done. More specifically, the proximity state is a state in which only one of the plurality of lighting fixtures 91 (light source) is within the imaging range of the imaging unit 141.

The control unit 19 receives the device information signal from the electric device 90 via the wireless communication unit 13 in the proximity state.

When the control unit 19 receives the device information signal from the electric device 90, the control unit 19 transmits an instruction signal instructing the execution of a predetermined response operation to the electric device 90 via the wireless communication unit 13 (transmission unit 132).

After transmitting the instruction signal, the control unit 19 acquires confirmation information via the acquisition unit 14 (within a predetermined time limit). When the control unit 19 acquires the confirmation information (confirms that the light source of the lighting fixture 91 in the image captured by the image pickup unit 141 is blinking), the control unit 19 receives the location information (plurality of location information) received from the information terminal 20. When the location information of the electrical device 90 is received, it is determined that the location information being referenced) is the location information of the electrical device 90 (the electrical device 90 in the image being imaged) that executed the response operation. Further, when the control unit 19 acquires the confirmation information, the identification information included in the device information signal received via the wireless communication unit 13 is the electric device 90 (the electric device 90 in the image being imaged) that has executed the response operation. ) Is determined to be the identification information. The control unit 19 associates these location information with the device information and stores them in the storage unit 15.

When a plurality of electric devices 90 are installed in the target space S1, the wireless communication unit 13 (first acquisition unit 131) simultaneously receives device information signals from two or more electric devices 90 in a close state. There can be. For example, when two electric devices 90 are installed next to each other at a relatively short distance, when the device main body 11 approaches one of the electric devices 90, the wireless communication unit 13 sends the two electric devices. Both radio signals (device information signals) from the device 90 can be received. In this case, the control unit 19 needs to determine which of the two received device information signals is the device information signal transmitted from the electric device 90 currently in the proximity state.

In the mobile device 10 of the present embodiment, this determination is made possible by using the transmission unit 132 and the acquisition unit 14. That is, when the wireless communication unit 13 (first acquisition unit 131) receives two or more device information signals including different device information (identification information), the wireless communication unit 13 (transmission unit 132) acquires two or more identifications. An instruction signal including identification information of one of the information is transmitted. Then, confirmation information indicating that the electric device 90 currently in the proximity state (within the imaging range of the imaging unit 141) has executed the response operation by the acquisition unit 14 (moving image in which the light source of the lighting equipment 91 is blinking). Is determined whether or not is obtained. If the confirmation information is obtained, it can be determined that the identification information of the electric device 90 (the lighting fixture 91 within the imaging range of the imaging unit 141) is the above-mentioned "one identification information" included in the transmitted instruction signal. .. On the other hand, if confirmation information is not obtained (if the light source of the lighting fixture 91 being imaged by the image pickup unit 141 does not blink), it can be seen that the identification information of the electric device 90 is not the above "one identification information". .. Therefore, in this case, the wireless communication unit 13 (transmission unit 132) transmits an instruction signal including the other identification information of the two or more acquired identification information. Then, it is determined by the acquisition unit 14 whether or not the confirmation information indicating that the electric device 90 currently in the proximity state has executed the response operation has been obtained. If the confirmation information is obtained, it can be determined that the identification information of the electric device 90 is the above-mentioned "another identification information" included in the transmitted instruction signal.

In short, in the mobile device 10, when the first acquisition unit 131 acquires device information including identification information from two or more electric devices 90 among the plurality of electric devices 90, the transmission unit 132 is included in the instruction signal. Two or more instruction signals are transmitted in a predetermined order while changing the identification information.

Further, in other words, when the first identification information and the second identification information are acquired as the identification information in the proximity state where the device main body 11 is close to the specific electric device among the plurality of electric devices 90, the mobile device 10 is described as follows. Works like this. That is, the transmission unit 132 transmits the first instruction signal including the first identification information as the instruction signal. When the acquisition unit 14 acquires confirmation information (video) indicating that the specific electric device has executed a response operation in response to the transmission of the first instruction signal, the first identification information is linked to the location information of the specific electric device. It is attached and stored in the storage unit 15. When the acquisition unit 14 cannot acquire the confirmation information (moving image) indicating that the specific electric device has executed the response operation in response to the transmission of the first instruction signal, the transmission unit 132 uses the second identification as the instruction signal. A second instruction signal containing information is transmitted. When the acquisition unit 14 acquires confirmation information indicating that the specific electric device has executed the response operation in response to the transmission of the second instruction signal, the second identification information is stored in association with the location information of the specific electric device. It is stored in the part 15.

Here, the above "predetermined order" is, for example, the order in which the received signal strength of the device information signal is large. That is, when the wireless communication unit 13 (first acquisition unit 131) receives the device information signal from two or more electric devices 90, the wireless communication unit 13 (transmission unit 132) receives the received device information signal. Two or more instruction signals are transmitted in order while changing the identification information included in the instruction signal in the order of increasing intensity (descending order).

When the control unit 19 associates the location information of the electric device 90 with the device information and stores it in the storage unit 15, the next electric device 90 is based on the location information of the next electric device 90 (for example, relative position information). Move towards. Then, the electric device 90 also acquires the device information, the confirmation information, and the like.

The control unit 19 transmits the acquired device information to the information terminal 20 via the wireless communication unit 13. The control unit 19 transmits the device information and the location information associated with the device information as a set of information to the information terminal 20.

The power supply unit 25 supplies electric power for the operation of each unit (wireless communication unit 21, terminal side storage unit 22, operation unit 23, display unit 24, control unit 26) of the information terminal 20. The power supply unit 25 includes a battery and a power conversion circuit here. The battery may be a primary battery or a secondary battery.

The control unit 26 controls the operation of each unit of the information terminal 20 (wireless communication unit 21, terminal side storage unit 22, operation unit 23, display unit 24, power supply unit 25). The control unit 26 is a computer system mainly composed of one or more processors and memories as hardware. In the control unit 26, various functions are realized by executing the program recorded in the memory by one or more processors. The program may be pre-recorded in the memory of the control unit 26, may be provided through a telecommunication line, or may be recorded and provided on a non-temporary recording medium such as an optical disk or a hard disk drive that can be read by a computer system. You may. The terminal-side storage unit 22 may also be used as the memory of the control unit 26.

The control unit 26 causes the display unit 24 to display the target space image Im1 based on the information of the target space image Im1 stored in the terminal side storage unit 22. Further, the control unit 26 superimposes the virtual device A0 simulating the lighting fixture 91 on the target space image Im1 and displays it on the display unit 24 based on the information of the virtual position stored in the terminal side storage unit 22. That is, the display unit 24 displays the target space image Im1 simulating the target space S1. Further, the display unit 24 displays the virtual device A0 simulating the electric device 90 at the virtual position corresponding to the position of the electric device 90 in the target space image Im1 based on the information of the virtual position.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the target space image Im1 displayed on the display unit 24. The target space image Im1 here corresponds to an image when the target space S1 is viewed from above. Further, in FIG. 7, a plurality of (14) virtual devices A0 (A1 to A14) are displayed superimposed on the target space image Im1 with a round icon.

The control unit 26 accepts the selection of the electric device 90 from the user by the operation unit 23. In the present embodiment, the electric device 90 selected by the user is a device for which device information is acquired. That is, the information terminal 20 acquires the device information of the electric device 90 selected by the user by using the mobile device 10.

In the present embodiment, the control unit 26 determines that when the virtual device A0 displayed on the display unit 24 is selected by the touch switch as the operation unit 23, the electric device 90 corresponding to the virtual device A0 is selected. do. In short, the operation unit 23 accepts the selection of the corresponding electric device 90 by accepting the selection of the virtual device A0 displayed on the display unit 24. In FIG. 7, the (selected) virtual device A0 (A1) selected by the user is indicated by a black circle, and the unselected (unselected) virtual device A0 (A2 to A13) is indicated by a white circle.

Note that the operation unit 23 may accept deselection of the selected virtual device A0. For example, the selection may be canceled by reselecting the selected virtual device A0 on the operation unit 23.

The control unit 26 allows selection of a plurality of virtual devices A0. That is, the control unit 26 allows selection of a plurality of electric devices 90. When a plurality of virtual devices A0 are selected, the mobile device 10 sequentially acquires device information of a plurality of electric devices 90 corresponding to the plurality of virtual devices A0.

When a plurality of electric devices 90 are selected, the control unit 26 generates route information indicating a route connecting the plurality of electric devices 90.

The route is generated, for example, in the order in which the virtual device A0 is selected. For example, it is assumed that the 14 virtual devices A0 shown in FIG. 7 are selected in the order of A1, A14, A13, A2, A3, A12, A11, A4, A5, A10, A9, A6, A7, A8. In this case, the control unit 26 generates, for example, the path R1 as shown by the dotted arrow in FIG. That is, the control unit 26 first takes a path connecting the shortest distance on the plane between the virtual device A1 selected first and the virtual device A14 selected next (second), starting from the first selected virtual device A1. Generate. Then, the control unit sets the path connecting the shortest distance on the plane between the virtual device A14 selected secondly and the virtual machine A13 selected next (third) as the starting point. Generate to. In this way, the control unit 26 sequentially generates routes to the last selected virtual device A8. Then, with the first selected virtual device A1 as the end point, the path connecting the shortest distance on the plane between the last selected virtual device A8 and the first selected virtual device A1 is finally generated.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the control unit 26 may automatically generate a route regardless of the order in which the virtual devices A0 are selected. For example, the control unit 26 may generate a route so that the total distance on the plane of the mobile device 10 is the shortest. For example, the control unit 26 uses the 14 virtual devices A0 as A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, A11, A12, A13, as shown by the dotted arrows in FIG. , A14, A1 may be generated in this order to generate a path R2. The route information generated by the control unit 26 is included in the location information indicating the location of the electric device 90, and is transmitted from the wireless communication unit 21 to the mobile device 10. That is, the wireless communication unit 21 of the information terminal 20 transmits the location information including the route information to the mobile device 10. In other words, transmitting location information includes transmitting information on a route connecting a plurality of electric devices 90.

The control unit 26 causes the wireless communication unit 21 to receive the device information transmitted from the mobile device 10. The control unit 26 receives information that is a set of device information and location information by the wireless communication unit 21. The control unit 26 associates the received device information with the location information of the electric device 90 and stores it in the terminal side storage unit 22. When the control unit 26 receives a plurality of sets of information that is a set of device information and place information, the control unit 26 refers to the place information included in the received information and the place information stored in the terminal side storage unit 22 and acquires the information. The device information is associated with the location information stored in the terminal-side storage unit 22 and matching the location information included in the received information, and stored in the terminal-side storage unit 22.

(3) Operation Example Hereinafter, one operation example of the acquisition system 100 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 10 to 12.

For example, when a plurality of lighting fixtures 91 as a plurality of electrical devices 90 are installed in the target space S1, each lighting fixture 91 may be remotely controlled, or a lighting control plan for the plurality of lighting fixtures 91 may be designed. There is a request to do. In this case, the user needs to know in advance the correspondence between the position of the luminaire 91 and the identification information of the luminaire 91.

As a first example of the method of grasping such a correspondence, for example, the identification information of the luminaire 91 is confirmed before the installation of the luminaire 91, and the luminaire 91 is installed at a predetermined position. By going, there is a method of associating the position with the identification information. However, this method requires extremely complicated work and places a heavy burden on the user (worker).

On the other hand, as a second example of the method of grasping the correspondence relationship, a plurality of lighting fixtures 91 are installed at appropriate positions without confirming the identification information, and then the positions and identification information of each lighting fixture 91 are obtained. There is a method of grasping the correspondence relationship of. In this method, the installation work itself of the plurality of lighting fixtures 91 can be performed extremely efficiently. However, after installing the plurality of lighting fixtures 91, it is necessary to grasp the correspondence between the position and the identification information.

In this operation example, in the above-mentioned second example, after the plurality of lighting fixtures 91 are installed in the target space S1, the acquisition system of the present embodiment is used to grasp the correspondence between the position of each lighting fixture 91 and the identification information. The case where 100 is used will be described.

In this operation example, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a plurality of (14) lighting fixtures 91 (electrical devices 90) are installed on the ceiling 900 of the target space S1. The 14 lighting fixtures 91 are arranged side by side in two rows of seven in a plan view on the ceiling 900 of the target space S1. In the following, 14 lighting fixtures 91 (electrical devices 90) may be distinguished by using the reference numerals “B1” to “B14”, if necessary.

First, the user causes the information terminal 20 to capture the information of the construction drawing of the target space S1 (ST1 in FIG. 10). The captured construction drawing information is stored in the terminal side storage unit 22. The information of the construction drawing includes, for example, a top view, a bottom view, a front view, a rear view, a right side view, and a left side view of the target space S1. Further, the information on the construction drawing includes information on the target space image Im1, information on the planned installation positions of the plurality of (14) lighting fixtures 91 in the target space S1, and identification information on the plurality of (14) lighting fixtures 91. Includes. However, in the information of the construction drawing, the information of the planned installation position and the identification information are not associated with each other.

The information terminal 20 causes the display unit 24 to display the target space image Im1 based on the information of the captured construction drawing. As shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of (14) virtual devices A0 (A1 to A14) are also displayed in the target space image Im1 based on the information of the planned installation position of the lighting fixture 91.

The information terminal 20 accepts the selection of the lighting fixture 91 according to the operation from the user to the operation unit 23 (ST2 in FIG. 10). Further, when a plurality of lighting fixtures 91 are selected, the information terminal 20 creates a route connecting the plurality of lighting fixtures 91 (ST3 in FIG. 10). Specifically, the information terminal 20 causes the display unit 24 to display the target space image Im1 including the virtual device A0. In response to this, the user touches (selects) the virtual device A0 corresponding to the lighting fixture 91 to be acquired in order on the display unit 24. Here, the information terminal 20 determines the order in which the identification information is acquired in the plurality of lighting fixtures 91 according to the order in which the user touches the plurality of virtual devices A0.

For example, when the user touches the 14 virtual devices A0 shown in FIG. 7 in the order of A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, A11, A12, A13, A14. do. In this case, the information terminal 20 has the order of B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9, B10, B11, B12, B13, B14 (see FIG. 6) for the 14 lighting fixtures 91. It is determined to acquire the identification information by (route R2 in FIG. 9).

After determining the route, the user moves to the target space S1 if he / she is in a place other than the target space S1, for example. Then, the user causes the information terminal 20 to transmit the device information signal from the plurality of (14) lighting fixtures 91 by performing an appropriate operation (ST4). Specifically, the information terminal 20 receives an appropriate operation from the operator to broadcast a radio signal (information request signal) including an information transmission request requesting transmission of device information from the wireless communication unit 21. The information request signal may include identification information that designates a plurality of lighting fixtures 91 that request transmission of the device information signal.

On the other hand, the lighting fixture 91 is waiting for an information request signal from the information terminal 20 (ST201 in FIG. 12). When the luminaire 91 receives the information request signal (ST201: Yes), the luminaire 91 intermittently broadcasts the device information signal (ST202 in FIG. 12).

Here, the plurality of lighting fixtures 91 broadcast device information signals at different timings from each other. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 91 (B1 to B14) uses the time slot randomly assigned to itself among the plurality of time slots divided into one frame, and the device information is used. Broadcast the signal. The plurality of lighting fixtures 91 may broadcast device information signals at different timings from each other based on the so-called random backoff technique.

The information terminal 20 receives the device information signal transmitted (broadcast) from each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 91, and confirms whether or not all the lighting fixtures 91 are transmitting the device information signal. May be good.

Next, the user arranges the mobile device 10 at a predetermined position on the floor surface of the target space S1 and operates the power switch 181 to turn on the power of the mobile device 10 (ST101 in FIG. 11). Further, the operator operates the information terminal 20 to transmit a wireless signal (start request signal) including a start request from the information terminal 20 to the mobile device 10 (ST5 in FIG. 10 and ST102 in FIG. 11). The start request is a request for instructing the mobile device 10 to start the acquisition operation of the device information (identification information) of the lighting device 91 (electrical device 90). Here, the location information (information indicating the locations of the plurality of lighting fixtures 91 in the target space S1) is wirelessly transmitted together with the start request. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the location information may be wirelessly transmitted to the mobile device 10 separately from the start request.

In this operation example, the "location information" transmitted from the information terminal 20 to the mobile device 10 has the lighting fixture 91 (B1) as the starting point of the path R2 as the origin, and the lighting fixture 91 (B1) and the remaining lighting fixtures. It contains only the route information (including the information on the relative position between the lighting fixtures 91) indicating the route R2 connecting the 91. That is, in this operation example, the "location information" does not include information on the absolute position of each luminaire 91 in the target space S1, and is relative to the reference luminaire 91 and each luminaire 91. It contains only information about the positional relationship. This is because GPS (Global Positioning System) cannot be used in a large-scale structure, and it is difficult for the mobile device 10 to grasp its own absolute position in the target space S1, so that the information on the absolute position of the luminaire 91 is obtained. This is because even if it is obtained, the information cannot be effectively used by the mobile device 10.

When using only the route information (including the information on the relative position between the lighting fixtures 91) as the "location information" in this way, it is necessary for the mobile device 10 to first grasp the first lighting fixture 91. Therefore, in this operation example, the user performs the work of arranging the moving device 10 at a position directly below the first lighting fixture 91 (B1).

At the time of this work, the mobile device 10 notifies the user whether or not the relative positional relationship between the device main body 11 and the lighting fixture 91 is appropriate by the above-mentioned appropriate position notification unit 16. Specifically, the control unit 19 of the mobile device 10 analyzes the image captured by the image pickup unit 141 to determine whether or not the device main body 11 is directly below the lighting fixture 91 (B1) (appropriate position). Judgment (ST103 in FIG. 11). When the control unit 19 determines that the device main body 11 is in an appropriate position (ST103: Yes), the control unit 19 blinks the first lamp 161 to notify the user to that effect (ST104 in FIG. 11). On the other hand, when the control unit 19 determines that the device main body 11 is not in the proper position (ST103: No), the control unit 19 blinks the second lamp 162 to notify the operator to that effect (ST105 in FIG. 11), and the information terminal 20 A radio signal including a position correction request indicating that the position of the mobile device 10 should be corrected is transmitted to (ST106 in FIG. 11). The mobile device 10 continues the notification (ST105, ST106) until it is arranged at an appropriate position (ST103: Yes).

When the information terminal 20 receives a radio signal including a position correction request (ST6: Yes in FIG. 10), a display for correcting the position of the mobile device 10 such as "Please correct the position of the drone". Is displayed on the display unit 24 (ST7 in FIG. 10).

At this time, the display unit 24 of the information terminal 20 displays the image Im2 captured by the image pickup unit 141 of the mobile device 10 as shown in FIG. In this image Im2, a boundary line 81 indicating a region at an appropriate position is shown in the imaging range 80 of the imaging unit 141. Further, in this image Im2, an arrow 82 indicating the front (traveling direction) of the moving device 10 is also shown. In this image Im2, for example, when the lighting fixture 91 (B1) is inside the boundary line 81, an OK mark is displayed in the area of the solid line M1 indicating the lighting fixture 91, and the lighting fixture is displayed outside the boundary line 81. When there is 91 (B1), an NG mark is displayed in the area of the dotted line M2 indicating the luminaire 91. In short, the display unit 24 displays an image Im2 showing a relative positional relationship between the mobile device 10 and the lighting device 91 (electrical device 90). By displaying the image Im2 on the display unit 24, the user can arrange the moving device 10 at an appropriate position while looking at the image Im2, and the user can easily arrange the moving device 10. Further, at this time, as shown in FIG. 15, the user looks at the traveling direction mark 111 of the moving device 10, and the front side of the moving device 10 is the first lighting device 91 (B1) to the second lighting device 91 in the path. The moving device 10 is arranged so as to face the direction toward (B2).

When the mobile device 10 is arranged at an appropriate position (ST6: No), the information terminal 20 causes the display unit 24 to display an appropriate position display indicating that the mobile device 10 is arranged at an appropriate position (FIG. 10). ST8). Further, when the mobile device 10 is arranged at an appropriate position (ST103: Yes), the mobile device 10 turns on the first lamp 161 as described above (ST104). Then, the moving device 10 drives the driving unit 12 (flight driving unit 121) and starts moving toward the first lighting device 91 (B1) (ST107 in FIG. 11). Specifically, the moving device 10 rises toward the luminaire 91 (B1) directly above (ST108 in FIG. 11), as schematically shown by the solid line arrow in FIG. That is, the movement of the moving device 10 toward the luminaire 91 includes the movement of the moving device 10 ascending by flight toward the luminaire 91.

The moving device 10 moves (ascends) toward the lighting device 91 (B1) until the device main body 11 comes close to the lighting device 91 (B1). As described above, the proximity state is a state in which the acquisition unit 14 acquires confirmation information from only one luminaire 91 when a plurality of luminaires 91 execute a response operation at the same time. Only one of the plurality of lighting fixtures 91, the lighting fixture 91 (B1), is in the imaging range of the imaging unit 141. The mobile device 10 determines whether or not the proximity state has been reached based on the image captured by the image pickup unit 141 (ST109 in FIG. 11). The moving device 10 moves (ascends) toward the luminaire 91 (B1) until it is in a close state. In this operation example, the moving device 10 determines that the device main body 11 is in a close state when it reaches a position 50 cm below the lighting device 91 (B1) (ST109: Yes).

In a close state close to the lighting fixture 91 (B1), the mobile device 10 receives the radio signal (device information signal) broadcast from the lighting fixture 91 by the wireless communication unit 13 (first acquisition unit 131) (1st acquisition unit 131). ST110 in FIG. 11). As described above, the plurality of lighting fixtures 91 each broadcast the device information signal at the timing shown in FIG. Therefore, the mobile device 10 performs a radio signal reception operation (ST111 in FIG. 11) for a time corresponding to at least one frame length, and receives all receivable radio signals (device information signals). , Acquire the identification information contained in them respectively. The mobile device 10 may set a threshold value for the received signal strength of the device information signal and acquire identification information only for the device information signal whose received signal strength is equal to or higher than the threshold value.

When the reception of all receivable device information signals is completed (ST111: Yes), the mobile device 10 issues an instruction signal instructing the execution of a predetermined response operation (light source blinking operation) to the wireless communication unit 13 (transmitter unit). It is transmitted from 132) (ST112 in FIG. 11). The instruction signal includes only one identification information received by the wireless communication unit 13 (first acquisition unit 131).

As described above, when the mobile device 10 has acquired the identification information from the plurality of lighting fixtures 91, the mobile device 10 transmits the plurality of instruction signals in a predetermined order while changing the identification information included in the instruction signal in order. For example, the mobile device 10 transmits a plurality of instruction signals while changing the identification information in descending order of the received signal strength of the received device information signal. Since the mobile device 10 is in close proximity to the luminaire 91 (B1), in general, the received signal strength of the device information signal transmitted by the luminaire 91 (B1) should be the highest.

Then, the mobile device 10 confirms whether or not the luminaire 91 (B1) has executed the response operation in response to the transmission of the instruction signal including the second identification information (ST113). When it is confirmed that the luminaire 91 (B1) has executed the response operation (ST113: Yes), the mobile device 10 has the identification information of the first luminaire 91 (B1) as "second identification information". Is confirmed. Then, the mobile device 10 associates the location information of the first lighting device 91 (B1) with the second identification information and stores them in the storage unit 15 (ST114).

The mobile device 10 sequentially transmits the above-mentioned instruction signal and confirms the execution of the response operation for the identification information included in all the received device information signals until the identification information of the lighting fixture 91 (B1) is determined.

When the identification information about the first luminaire 91 (B1) is determined, the mobile device 10 uses the location information (relative position information) of the luminaire 91 (B1) and the determined identification information as a set of information. It is transmitted to the information terminal 20 by a wireless signal. When the information terminal 20 receives the radio signal (ST9 in FIG. 10), the information terminal 20 associates the received identification information with the location information of the first lighting fixture 91 (B1) and stores it in the terminal side storage unit 22 (FIG. 10).
