Description

  The present invention relates to an information management mechanism associated with installation of a solar power utilization device such as a solar power generation device.

In response to growing environmental concerns and increased fossil fuel depletion associated with increased CO ₂ emissions, development of sustainable energy utilization technologies is underway. As one of the sustainable energy utilization technologies, solar water heaters that supply hot water using the heat generated by sunlight have been widely used in ordinary households. The spread of devices is progressing to general households.

  When a solar-powered device such as a solar power generation device is installed on the rooftop of a general household, information such as the shape, size, direction, and inclination angle of the roof is required in order to examine the profitability. If the cost for obtaining such information can be reduced, the barriers associated with the introduction of solar-powered devices into ordinary households will also be reduced.

  In order to satisfy the above needs, a mechanism has been proposed in which information such as the shape of the roof of the roof where the installation of the solar power utilization device is examined using aerial photographs and the introduction cost is estimated (for example, Patent Document 1). ).

JP 2010-092223 A

  The installation of solar-powered equipment involves a great deal of consideration. Hereinafter, a solar power generation apparatus that is currently spreading is described as an example of a solar power utilization apparatus.

  A solar power generation device is mainly configured by a solar cell module that converts solar energy into DC power, and a power conditioner that converts DC power generated by the solar cell module into AC power and adjusts the voltage. In addition, after collecting DC power generated by a plurality of solar cell modules, the surplus power is sold to a power company when surplus power is generated by a junction box that is output to a power conditioner or by a solar power generation device. As a peripheral device for solar power generation devices, distribution boards and watt-hour meters are used for grid connection so that when the power generated by the solar power generation device is insufficient, power is purchased from the power company. Necessary.

  Solar power generation devices are manufactured and sold by a plurality of manufacturers. The specifications of products of each manufacturer are different, and a plurality of different specifications are often provided by the same manufacturer. The power generation capability of the solar cell module is a major factor in determining the characteristics of the solar power generation device. However, the higher the power generation capability, the higher the price of the device, so it is difficult to determine which solar cell module is better. difficult. The shape and size of the solar cell module are also important considerations. There are many combinations of solar cell modules having shapes and sizes that can be arranged for a roof having a specific shape and size, and it is not easy to select the most efficient one from among them.

  Furthermore, in recent years, there have been many cases of subsidies and tax reductions for the purpose of promoting the introduction of solar power generation devices by national and local governments. Since these subsidies and tax cuts differ depending on the introduction cost, income situation of each household, etc., it is not easy to determine the most suitable photovoltaic power generation device in order to maximize the cost advantage. This is because, for example, the introduction of a device that is more expensive than the reference amount for a device that is less expensive than the reference amount for subsidy delivery may result in a lower cost as a whole.

  There is also a difficulty in selecting a contractor. This is because equipment prices, construction costs, and service quality vary depending on the contractor. Major contractors that are deployed nationwide are highly reliable, but there may be problems such as inconvenience during aftercare because there is no sales office nearby. On the other hand, it is unclear whether the contractor in the neighborhood can be trusted, but if it is a trustworthy contractor, there may be benefits that cannot be obtained from major contractors, such as being able to respond immediately in the event of a failure. Absent. It is also not easy for general consumers to select a good contractor in consideration of these circumstances.

  As exemplified above, there are many points to be examined in the introduction of the photovoltaic power generation apparatus, and there is a problem that it is difficult for general consumers to grasp the whole picture because they are related to each other. For this reason, it seems that there are not a few general consumers who have forgotten the introduction of solar power generation devices because they want to make bad purchases and do not want to regret later.

  If there are many general consumers who are hesitant to introduce a solar power generation device for the reasons described above, the market will not be expanded for traders who sell or install the solar power generation device, which is not desirable.

  In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a mechanism that appropriately promotes the spread of solar light utilization devices by eliminating or reducing the obstacles in information that hinder the introduction of solar light utilization devices.

(head office: California, USA) is widely used. In the proposal system 1, Google Earth is used as an example, but other similar services may be used in the proposal system 1.

  The building information providing server device 15 stores a DB for storing book data including design drawings used for building confirmation application regarding buildings in the whole country, and arbitrarily selects building information request data including address data indicating addresses. If it is received from the device, the book data relating to the building corresponding to the address data included in the received building information request data is transmitted to the requesting device.

  Then, operation | movement of the proposal system 1 is demonstrated. FIG. 10 shows an outline of operations performed by the proposed system 1 when a general user accesses a Web site provided by the diagnostic mediation server device 12 using the general user terminal device 11 and browses a simple medical certificate. FIG.

  First, the general user operates the general user terminal device 11 to display a browser screen, and inputs a predetermined URI on the screen to access a simple diagnosis page provided by the diagnosis mediation server device 12. More specifically, the general user terminal device 11 sends a transmission request for Web page data including the URI of the simple diagnosis page to the Internet 19, and the DNS (Domain Name System) server group arranged in the Internet 19 The destination of the transmission request is specified and transmitted to the diagnostic mediation server device 12 (step S001).

  In response to the transmission request, the diagnosis mediation server device 12 transmits the Web page data of the simple diagnosis page to the general user terminal device 11 (step S002). The general user terminal device 11 displays a simple diagnosis page according to the received web page data (step S003).

  FIG. 11 is a diagram schematically illustrating a simple diagnosis page displayed on the general user terminal device 11. In the simple diagnosis page, the general user first inputs an address indicating the location of the house where the photovoltaic power generation apparatus is installed in the “address” box. Subsequently, when a “map display” button is clicked, the general user terminal device 11 generates photo request data including address data indicating the input address, and transmits the photo request data to the diagnostic mediation server device 12 (step S004).

  The diagnostic intermediary server device 12 transmits the photo request data received from the general user terminal device 11 to the photo providing server device 14 (step S005), and in response thereto, the photo providing server device 14 transmits the photo data corresponding to the address data. Received (step S006). The diagnostic mediation server device 12 transmits the photo data received from the photo providing server device 14 to the general user terminal device 11 (step S007).

  The general user terminal device 11 displays an aerial photograph near the input address according to the received photograph data (step S008). The general user moves the position of the aerial photograph and changes the scale as necessary. Subsequently, after the general user clicks a “draw figure” button or the like, the user clicks the apex of the roof of the target house displayed in the aerial photograph in order with the mouse pointer or the like to indicate the roof area. Draw a figure on the aerial photograph. In response to this drawing operation, the general user terminal device 11 generates roof area data indicating a roof area (step S009). The roof area data is accompanied by data indicating the position of the roof (for example, longitude and latitude).

  Subsequently, after the general user clicks a “draw arrow” button, for example, by dragging the mouse pointer or the like from the vicinity of the center of the figure showing the drawn roof area toward the downward slope of the roof, for example, An arrow indicating the tilt direction is depicted. In response to this drawing operation, the general user terminal device 11 generates inclination direction data indicating the inclination direction of the roof (step S010).

  When the roof is composed of a plurality of planes, the general user repeats the drawing operation in step S009 and the arrow drawing operation in step S010 for each plane.

  Subsequently, the general user selects a rough inclination angle of the roof by clicking one of the radio buttons attached to the four displayed figures. In response to this selection operation, the general user terminal device 11 generates inclination angle data indicating a rough inclination angle of the roof (step S011). Hereinafter, the inclination direction data and the inclination angle data are collectively referred to as roof inclination data, and the roof area data and the roof inclination data are collectively referred to as roof data.

  Subsequently, the general user clicks a “diagnosis” button. In response to this operation, the general user terminal device 11 generates medical certificate request data including roof data and transmits it to the diagnostic mediation server device 12 (step S012).

When the diagnostic intermediary server device 12 receives the medical certificate request data, the roof data included in the medical certificate request data, the device DB, the subsidy DB, the electricity fee DB, the average electricity usage DB stored in the storage unit 121, Based on various data stored in the power selling price DB, the CO ₂ emission coefficient DB, and the solar radiation amount DB, it is determined whether or not there is feasibility when a solar power generation device is installed in a house specified by the roof data. Determination result data indicating a determination result (that is, a simple medical certificate) is generated (step S013).

  In the determination in step S013, the diagnosis mediation server device 12 uses data marked with an asterisk (*) in the device DB with respect to the device, and uses, for the average electricity usage, for example, data of three households as an average household. .

  The diagnosis mediation server device 12 transmits the generated determination result data to the general user terminal device 11 (step S014). The general user terminal device 11 displays the content of the received determination result data as a diagnosis result page (step S015).

FIG. 12 is a diagram schematically illustrating a diagnosis result page displayed on the general user terminal device 11. On the diagnosis result page, following the address input by the general user in step S004, a general comment indicating a summary of the determination result, a household contribution indicating the financial merit brought by the introduction of the solar power generation device, and the solar power generation device Environmental contribution indicating the degree of suppression of CO ₂ emissions caused by the introduction of solar power, solar power generation installation information indicating the power generation capacity of the solar power generation apparatus considered to be installable, assistance provided by the introduction of the solar power generation apparatus Includes subsidy information indicating the amount of money.

  General users look at the contents of the displayed diagnosis result page. For example, if it is judged that there is no feasibility or low feasibility based on a general comment or other information, the general user abandons the introduction of the photovoltaic power generation device, and for further study You don't have to waste your time. As a result, it is desirable for a contractor who sells and installs a photovoltaic power generation device to reduce unnecessary cost estimates and the like.

  On the other hand, if the general user looks at the contents of the displayed diagnosis result page and determines that the feasibility is high, the study work may be temporarily interrupted there, but as it is as the next step, If you want specific information such as costs, you can request proposals from multiple vendors. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an outline of the operation of the proposal system 1 from when a general user requests a proposal until the proposal is obtained.

  The general user clicks the “Request Proposal” button on the diagnosis result page. In response to the operation, the general user terminal device 11 transmits a Web page data transmission request for the proposal request page to the diagnosis mediation server device 12 (step S101). In response to the transmission request, the diagnosis mediation server device 12 transmits the Web page data of the proposal request page to the general user terminal device 11 (step S102). The general user terminal device 11 displays a proposal request page according to the received Web page data (step S103).

  FIG. 14 is a diagram schematically showing a proposal request page displayed on the general user terminal device 11. On the proposal request page, general users enter their name, email address, average monthly electricity bill they are currently paying, and whether or not other power generators (such as fuel cells) are installed, and click the “Send” button. Etc. In response to the operation, the general user terminal device 11 generates proposal request data including the input data specific to the general user (hereinafter referred to as “general user specific data”), and transmits the proposal request data to the diagnosis mediation server device 12. (Step S104).

  Upon receiving the proposal request data, the diagnostic mediation server device 12 generates building information request data including the address data received from the general user terminal device 11 in step S004, and transmits the building information request data to the building information providing server device 15 ( In step S105, the book data relating to the building corresponding to the address data transmitted from the building information providing server device 15 as a response is received (step S106).

  Subsequently, the diagnosis mediation server device 12 receives the proposal creation request data including the address data received in step S004, the roof data received in step S012, the general user specific data received in step S104, and the book data received in step S106. It is generated and stored in the storage unit 121 (step S107).

Each of the trader user terminal devices 13 is installed with a trader user application that is acquired in advance by a trader user, for example, by downloading from the diagnostic intermediary server device 12, and is always executed as, for example, resident software. According to the trader user application, the trader user terminal device 13 periodically diagnoses copies of the device DB, subsidy DB, electricity bill DB, average electricity usage DB, power selling price DB, CO ₂ emission coefficient DB, and solar radiation DB. They are downloaded from the intermediary server device 12, and the latest versions thereof are stored in the storage unit of the own device. Further, according to the merchant user application, the merchant user terminal device 13 downloads the updated version of the merchant user application itself from the diagnostic mediation server device 12, and updates the merchant user application. Thereby, the template data included in the merchant user application is also updated.

  In the state as described above, the supplier user terminal device 13 transmits new proposal creation request data to the storage unit 121 of the diagnostic mediation server device 12 at a sufficiently short time interval, for example, every 5 minutes, according to the supplier user application. A request is transmitted (step S108). When new proposal creation request data that has not yet been transmitted to the requesting vendor user terminal device 13 is stored in the storage unit 121 of the diagnostic mediation server device 12, the diagnostic mediation server device 12 has the vendor user terminal. The new proposal creation request data is transmitted to the device 13 (step S109).

  Upon receipt of the new proposal creation request data, the trader user terminal device 13 notifies the trader user that the new request has arrived, for example, by displaying an alert or generating an alarm sound, and the contents of the received proposal creation request data. A proposal creation page reflecting the above is displayed (step S110). FIG. 15 is a diagram schematically showing a proposal creation page displayed on the supplier user terminal device 13.

  On the proposal creation page, first, an address indicating the location of the target house, and roof information and installation surface information indicating the size, shape, inclination direction, and inclination angle of the roof with a figure and characters are displayed. These are automatically generated and displayed from address data and roof data. By clicking a “display building information” button or the like, the trader user can display the contents of the book data including the design drawings related to the house and browse them. The trader user can correct the roof information and the installation surface information as necessary while referring to the design drawing.

  In addition, on the proposal creation page, the purchase price and sales to be determined by the contractor user on their own, together with fixed information such as size, shape, power generation capacity, list price, etc. for each of the components of the photovoltaic power generation system A device information list in which the price, quantity, etc. can be input is displayed. The fixed information included in the device information list is automatically displayed by the data included in the device DB.

  While referring to information such as the size / shape, capability, and price of each component included in the roof information / installation surface information and the device information list, the contractor user selects the component to be proposed for installation in the target house and sets the quantity. As well as entering, determine and enter the selling price for those components. In addition, the component purchase price may be used that is registered in advance in the vendor user application by the vendor user, or may be input when each proposal is created.

  Subsequently, the contractor user is expected to be necessary to maintain the installation work cost when installing the photovoltaic power generation device configured by the proposed component in the target house, and then the function of the photovoltaic power generation device Enter maintenance costs along with their timing. These pieces of information are used to generate a graph showing how the cost of introducing and maintaining a photovoltaic power generation apparatus is collected over time. As described above, the data that is input and set uniquely by the trader user in the proposal creation page is referred to as cost calculation data.

  Along with the input of cost calculation data by the above-mentioned contractor user, the proposal creation page automatically calculates and displays the profit rate when contracting the sales and installation work of the solar power generation device according to the proposal contents. The In this case, the subsidy amount given to the general user and the characters “OK” or “NG” indicating whether the subsidy application condition is met are automatically displayed. Based on these pieces of information, the trader user tries to make a better proposal by re-selecting the component while revising the cost calculation data and resetting the sales price, the installation work cost, and the like (step S111).

  When the content of the proposal is determined, the trader user clicks a “send proposal” button. In response to this operation, the trader user terminal device 13 generates proposal data in a predetermined format in accordance with the template data included in the trader user application (step S112) and transmits it to the diagnostic mediation server device 12 (step S113). .

  The diagnostic intermediary server device 12 waits for the end of a preset proposal reception period, for example, and shows an electronic mail indicating all the proposal data transmitted from each supplier user terminal device 13 so far. Mail data is generated, the mail address included in the general user specific data received from the general user terminal device 11 in step S104 is designated as the destination, and then sent to the Internet 19 (step S114).

  The e-mail data sent to the Internet 19 is received by any terminal device used by a general user via a mail server device specified by a mail address. By displaying the contents of proposal data on the terminal device used for receiving the e-mail data, the general user can compare and examine the introduction plans of the solar power generation apparatus proposed by each business user.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram schematically showing the contents of a proposal provided to a general user. In addition to the information shown in FIG. 16, the actual proposal may be useful for general users regardless of contractors, such as benefits obtained by introducing solar power generation devices and general information on subsidy systems, for example. Information (for example, included in the template data), information for each supplier such as contact information and sales points of the supplier user (for example, setting registration using a supplier user application in advance in the supplier user terminal device 13), and the like.

  In addition, the general user compares the proposals presented by a plurality of contractor users. For example, if the user wants to obtain more detailed information from any of the contractor users or request installation work, Contact will be made directly to the contact information of the listed merchant user.

  As described above, according to the proposed system 1, a general user can receive a simple diagnosis on the possibility of introduction of a solar power generation device by performing a simple operation on the terminal device for several minutes. However, if there is no effect of introduction, there is no need to carry out a wasteful examination afterwards, and it is also possible for the contractor to avoid waste. On the other hand, if the effect of introduction is high, more proactively obtain information for introduction Therefore, the introduction to the solar power generation device is promoted.

  Furthermore, according to the proposed system 1, when it is diagnosed that the effect of introducing the photovoltaic power generation device is high, the general user performs a simple operation on the terminal device, thereby providing more specific information from a plurality of contractor users. You can request a proposal. Various data necessary for proposal creation are automatically sent to the contractor user along with the request for proposal creation. This reduces the effort, time and cost required to create the proposal. Since common data and a format are utilized, it becomes easy for the general user who browses them to compare the contents of the proposals created by individual merchant users.

  In other words, the proposed system 1 removes the anxiety and habit by providing necessary information to general users who feel anxiety and jealousy for various reasons when introducing the solar power generation apparatus. It is a mechanism to reduce those burdens by introducing excellent prospective customers to business users who feel a heavy burden both physically and mentally in visiting business. Therefore, according to the proposal system 1, introduction of a solar power generation device is promoted soundly and appropriately.

(Modification)
The above-described embodiments can be variously modified within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. Examples of these modifications are shown below.

In the proposed system 1 described above, various data stored in the device DB, the subsidy DB, the electricity rate DB, the average electricity usage DB, the electricity sales price DB, the CO ₂ emission coefficient DB, and the solar radiation amount DB are stored in the diagnostic mediation server device. 12 is transmitted to each supplier user terminal device 13, and proposal data is generated in the supplier user terminal device 13. The template data used for generating the proposal data is also downloaded from the diagnostic mediation server device 12 to the vendor user terminal device 13 in a form included in the vendor user application. Instead of such a configuration, each vendor user terminal device 13 transmits vendor-specific data such as cost calculation data to the diagnostic mediation server device 12, and the diagnostic mediation server device 12 proposes proposal data according to the template data. A configuration may be employed in which the generation is performed.

  Such a configuration can also be realized by a configuration in which the trader user terminal device 13 transmits the cost calculation data to the diagnostic mediation server device 12 according to, for example, the trader user application, and the diagnostic mediation server device 12 is configured as an ASP server device. Alternatively, the proposal creation page can be displayed on the display of the vendor user terminal device 13 in the form of a Web page, and the vendor user can input cost calculation data or the like.

  In any case, it is not necessary to transmit all the data of various DBs from the diagnostic mediation server device 12 to the vendor user terminal device 13, and the data communication amount is reduced. When the diagnostic mediation server device 12 is configured as an ASP server device, the amount of data that needs to be transmitted from the diagnostic mediation server device 12 to the vendor user terminal device 13 is further reduced, and the vendor user application for the vendor user terminal device 13 is also used. Installation of is also unnecessary.

  Moreover, in the proposal system 1 mentioned above, the produced | generated proposal data are transmitted with respect to a general user as e-mail data from the diagnostic mediation server apparatus 12. FIG. Instead, a configuration may be adopted in which each supplier user terminal device 13 directly transmits proposal data created by itself to general users as e-mail data.

  Further, as a method for transmitting the proposal data, other methods may be adopted regardless of the e-mail data. For example, the diagnosis mediation server device 12 stores the proposal data in the storage unit 121 in a state where it can be accessed from the outside, and information necessary for the access (for example, a URI or a password for personal authentication) is stored. A configuration for notifying general users by e-mail data may be employed. In that case, the general user uses the information for access indicated by the received e-mail, operates the terminal device to access the diagnostic mediation server device 12, downloads the desired proposal data, etc. Can receive.

  Moreover, in the proposal system 1 mentioned above, roof data are produced | generated by drawing operation on the aerial photograph by a general user. Instead of this, for example, the diagnostic mediation server device 12 is provided with an image analysis function, and an image analysis process is performed on the image of the roof of the house specified by the address data, so that all or part of the roof data is automatically obtained. It may be generated. For example, tilt direction data can be generated relatively easily by analyzing a two-dimensional image, and tilt angle data can be generated by analyzing a three-dimensional image, for example. Even if the accuracy is not high enough, it is possible to modify the automatically generated data manually by the general user. Can be reduced.

  In addition, when roof data is input in the general user terminal device 11, the data (house data) specifying the house transmitted from the general user terminal device 11 to the diagnosis mediation server device 12 is roof data (or roof data and address data). However, when all the roof data can be automatically generated in the diagnostic mediation server device 12, the house data transmitted from the general user terminal device 11 to the diagnostic mediation server device 12 is only the address data.

  Further, in the proposed system 1 described above, information such as a design drawing of a building is transmitted as book data from the building information providing server device 15 to the vendor user terminal device 13 via the diagnostic mediation server device 12, but the vendor user terminal device The structure which 13 acquires book data directly from the building information provision server apparatus 15 using the address data received from the diagnostic mediation server apparatus 12 may be employ | adopted.

  In addition, when the building information providing server device 15 cannot be used in the first place or when the book data related to the building specified by the address data is not stored in the building information providing server device 15, the contractor user individually investigates the building information. The information obtained from the general user terminal device 11 via the diagnostic mediation server device 12 may be used as it is as the roof data.

  Further, in the proposal system 1 described above, proposal creation request data is similarly transmitted to the trader user terminal devices 13 of all trader users who use the proposal system 1, but the trader user who satisfies the predetermined condition A configuration may be adopted in which the proposal creation request data is transmitted only to the vendor user terminal device 13. For example, in the diagnostic intermediary server device 12, a trader user who makes a proposal creation request is selected under the condition that the address of the business office of the trader user is five companies in order from the address of the general user who is the requester of the proposal. A configuration may be employed.

  Further, in the proposed system 1 described above, in order to synchronize the various DBs between the diagnostic mediation server device 12 and the contractor user terminal device 13, the entire various DBs are transferred from the diagnostic mediation server device 12 to the contractor user terminal device 13. However, only the difference data updated in the diagnostic mediation server device 12 may be transmitted from the diagnostic mediation server device 12 to the vendor user terminal device 13.

  Further, the number of the diagnostic mediation server device 12, the photo providing server device 14 and the building information providing server device 15 constituting the proposed system 1 described above is not limited to one, and is configured by a plurality of device groups that cooperate with each other, for example. Also good. Further, for example, two or more of the diagnostic intermediary server device 12, the photo provision server device 14, and the building information provision server device 15 are the devices in the same casing, such as the diagnostic intermediary server device 12 also serving as the building information provision server device 15. It may be realized.

  The diagnostic mediation server apparatus 12 is realized by causing a general PC to execute processing according to the program according to the present invention, but the diagnostic mediation server apparatus 12 may be implemented as a so-called dedicated machine. .

  Further, various data such as numerical values and conditions used in the above description are examples for description, and the technical scope of the present invention should not be construed as being limited thereto. For example, when tax reduction is applied instead of subsidy for the introduction of solar power generation equipment, various data for calculating tax reduction amount is used instead of data stored in subsidy DB, and Although data indicating the amount of income input by a general user will be used, such a change is a design matter within the technical scope of the present invention.

  In addition, although the proposal system 1 mentioned above is designed so that the proposal regarding installation of a solar power generation device may be supported, it replaces with a solar power generation device, for example, installation of other sunlight utilization apparatuses like a solar water heater. The proposal system 1 may be designed so as to support the proposal related to. Such a change is also a design matter within the technical scope of the present invention.

  A method, a system, a server device, and a program according to the present invention are used in a manufacturing industry that manufactures solar-powered devices, a service business that sells solar-powered devices, a construction business that performs installation work of solar-powered devices, and the like. Widely available.
