Description

This invention relates to display methods and the like in connection with equipment management systems. A power management system is known that estimates and displays the power consumption of various power systems, such as air conditioning, lighting, and outlet systems, for each managed facility (e.g., a building). In this power management system, a power monitoring device is connected to a PAC air conditioner, an access control system, and a lighting control system via a network connection (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Japanese Patent Publication No. 2014-120108 Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of a display system according to an embodiment.Figure 2 shows an example of the first management screen for a management point.Figure 3 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the operation of the display system according to the embodiment.Figure 4 shows an example of management information.Figure 5 shows an example of the second management screen for a management point.Figure 6 shows an example of the third management screen for a management point.Figure 7 shows an example in which an object indicating a specific management point is displayed in a predetermined manner on the first management screen.Figure 8 shows an example of the detailed screen for management points.Figure 9 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of a modified display system. The embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments described below are all comprehensive or specific examples. The numerical values, shapes, materials, components, arrangement and connection configurations of components, steps, and step order shown in the following embodiments are examples only and are not intended to limit the present invention. Furthermore, components in the following embodiments that are not described in an independent claim will be described as optional components. Please note that each diagram is a schematic representation and not necessarily a strictly accurate depiction. Furthermore, in each diagram, substantially identical components are given the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations may be omitted or simplified. (Embodiment) [composition] First, the configuration of the display system according to the embodiment will be described. Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the display system according to the embodiment. The display system 10 is a system that can display information about equipment installed in facility 90 on the information terminal 30. Facility 90 is, for example, a large multi-story building (non-residential facility) used as a commercial facility or office. Facility 90 may also be other non-residential facilities such as a hospital or factory, or it may be a residence (a detached house or an apartment building). The display system 10 specifically comprises a device management system 20 and a plurality of information terminals 30. The number of information terminals 30 is not particularly limited; the display system 10 only needs to have at least one information terminal 30. The equipment management system 20 is a system for managing equipment installed in the facility 90. Specifically, the equipment management system 20 manages equipment in units of management points corresponding to each piece of equipment. One management point may be associated with one piece of equipment, or multiple management points may be associated with one piece of equipment. For example, if a lighting fixture 21 is managed for both its lighting status (on or off) and its malfunction (not lighting), then two management points may be associated with the lighting fixture 21. The equipment management system 20 can control and monitor equipment installed in facility 90 as part of its management point management. Specifically, the equipment management system 20 comprises multiple lighting fixtures 21, multiple air conditioning fixtures 22, multiple measuring instruments 23, a control device 24, a gateway device 25, and a server system 26. The multiple lighting fixtures 21, multiple air conditioning fixtures 22, multiple measuring instruments 23, the control device 24, and the gateway device 25 are installed in facility 90, while the server system 26 is installed outside facility 90. "Installed in facility 90" can be rephrased as "installed within the premises of facility 90." If facility 90 is considered as a building, the equipment installed in facility 90 may include not only equipment installed inside the building but also equipment installed outside the building. The lighting equipment 21, air conditioning equipment 22, and measuring instrument 23 are each examples of equipment installed in facility 90. The lighting equipment 21 illuminates the space within facility 90, and the air conditioning equipment 22 regulates the temperature of the space within facility 90 by supplying temperature-controlled
