Abstract
Abstract A management system is provided with a sensor control means located in each region of a multiple occupancy building and a management apparatus connected to and able to communicate with the sensor control means. The sensor control means are connected with sensors for detecting the state in each area and send to the management apparatus detection information output by the sensors along with mounting location information of the sensors. Also, the management apparatus correlates and manages the detection information and mounting location information received from the sensor control means.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
A management apparatus comprising storage means for correlating and storing sensor identification information for identifying sensors for detecting the state in each area of a multiple occupancy building, and the mounting location information of the sensors; said management apparatus receiving the sensor detection information and sensor identification information sent from the sensor control means connected with said sensor, searching for said mounting location information from said storage means on the basis of the sensor identification information, and correlating and managing the detection information and mounting location information; said management apparatus further comprising, determining means for analyzing said detection information and determining the occurrence of an anomaly; and alarm outputting means for outputting alarms in the case where an anomaly is determined to have occurred by said determining means; wherein said determining means analyze the detection information and determine the occurrence of an anomaly on the basis of prior detection history information.
