Furthermore, the shape of the icon may be configured to be deformable, and information regarding the shape of the device may be registered by deforming the shape of the icon on the region in relation to the size and shape of the region. . By making it possible to register device information in this manner, the convenience of the user is further improved.

<Browsing service S3>
Next, the out-of-office browsing service S3 will be described.
This service is, for example, a service assumed to be used in the following situation. That is, when a resident goes out to a shopping center or the like and purchases a new device to be installed in the condominium residence 18, the new device to be purchased is predetermined in a specific room in relation to the floor plan of the apartment residence 18. This service is assumed to be used when it is desired to know whether the device can be placed in the area.
In the following description, a case where the father of a resident is going to purchase a sofa placed in the first room H1 at a shopping center and receives the above service via the “mobile phone 23A” will be described as an example. .
In addition, the mobile phone 23A is a so-called smartphone and has a touch panel, and various instructions can be performed by a touch operation on the touch panel.
In addition, since the residence setting terminal 15 is a tablet-type terminal and can be carried around, if the residence setting terminal 15 is brought outside, the service described below can be received via the residence setting terminal 15. It is. That is, the resident can receive the out-of-office browsing service S3 using either the mobile phone 23A or the residence setting terminal 15.

The resident activates a predetermined application of the mobile phone 23A, displays a service start screen UI3 (FIG. 4C) on the touch panel 16, and presses a button B6 for instructing start of the out-of-office browsing service S3. Manipulate. Thereby, data to that effect is transmitted to the service providing server 10. In addition, since the access destination with respect to the service provision server 10 of the residence installation terminal 15 and the mobile phone 23A is the same, the same screen is displayed when receiving the service at any terminal. Based on this, in the present embodiment, the screens displayed on these devices are not particularly distinguished and expressed.
Then, the information processing unit 30a of the service providing server 10 detects that the button B6 has been operated by an input from the mobile phone 23A, and displays the room selection screen UI5 shown in FIG. 11A on the display unit of the mobile phone 23A. To display. This room selection screen UI5 is a screen for selecting a room where a new device is to be placed, and buttons indicating the respective rooms constituting the apartment dwelling 18 are displayed in an operable manner. Information displayed on each button is appropriately acquired from the floor plan information database DB3. In this example, it is assumed that the sofa is scheduled to be placed in the first room. When the button L4 corresponding to the first room H1 is selected by the resident on the room selection screen UI5 and data to that effect is transmitted, the information processing section 30a of the service providing server 10 is shown in FIG. The input method selection screen UI6 is displayed on the display unit of the mobile phone 23A.

On the input method selection screen UI6, a product information input button L5 and a manual input button L6 are displayed so as to be selectable. In this example, a case where the product information input button L5 is touched will be described.
When detecting that the merchandise information input button L5 is operated, the information processing section 30a displays a merchandise information input screen UI7 shown in FIG. 11C on the display section (touch panel) of the mobile phone 23A. On the screen, a column for inputting a manufacturer, a model name of a device assigned by the manufacturer, and a product name for the device to be purchased (a sofa in this example) is displayed. In many cases, this information can be obtained by introducing a product introduction at a store or by inquiring a store clerk.
When information is appropriately input and confirmed in these fields, each input information is transmitted as data from the mobile phone 23A to the service providing server 10. Based on these pieces of information, the information processing unit 30a of the service providing server 10 inquires information about the device in accordance with a predetermined protocol, for example, a server of a manufacturing company or other necessary server, and determines the size of the device, Acquire the shape and the type of the device. For example, in the case of a sofa, the size and shape of the device are information such as how many centimeters in height, how many centimeters in width, and how many centimeters in height, and information specifying the three-dimensional shape. The method of acquiring the size and shape of the device is not limited to the above. For example, when the service providing server 10 holds related information, the information may be used, and human means are involved. May be.
Note that the size and shape of the device may not be acquired based on the information input on the product information input screen UI7. In such a case, the information processing unit 30a displays a message to that effect on the display unit (touch panel) of the mobile phone 23A and prompts the user to input information by manual input, which will be described later.
When acquiring the size and shape of a new device to be placed in the room, the information processing unit 30a executes the following processing.

The process described below is a process for calculating a space in which a new device (in this example, a sofa) can be placed in a room (in this example, the first room H1) where the new device can be placed. .
First, as shown in FIG. 12 (A), the information processing unit 30a uses the first room information J12 (FIGS. 5 (C) and 5 (D)) in the floor plan information database DB3 to store the second information in the two-dimensional coordinate system q. After developing an image showing an area corresponding to one room H1 and an image showing an area corresponding to the device arranged in the first room H1, an area A1 in which no equipment is arranged in the first room H1 ( FIG. 12 (A)) is calculated.
Furthermore, the information processing unit 30a acquires the type of each device arranged in the first room H1 and is restricted from arranging other devices around the device. Get whether or not there is.
For example, because of the nature of television, a few meters on the front side of the television cannot be installed with devices that prevent viewing of the television, and devices with doors and drawers such as cupboards and chests are not available. A certain amount of space is required to open the door and pull out the drawer, and the device cannot be installed in the space. And although illustration is abbreviate | omitted in this embodiment, the information (three-dimensional coordinate system Q or how to restrict | limit how another apparatus is arrange | positioned in the periphery for every kind of apparatus is shown. A database that holds information on a mode that can be developed in the two-dimensional coordinate system q is stored in the storage unit 33, and the information processing unit 30a is arranged in the first room H1 based on the contents of the database. For each device, information on the restriction is acquired using each device type as a key.
In particular, the information related to the restriction includes information that restricts the installation by reflecting the type of the device, such as the installation of a specific other device is restricted in a predetermined area corresponding to the specific one device. It is included. For example, in the range of 3 meters in front of the television (actually expressed as coordinate information), a device of the sofa type can be placed, but a device of the chest type cannot be installed, etc. Is included in the information on the above restrictions. This information is appropriately reflected in the calculation of the new device installable area A3, which will be described later.
In this example, it is assumed that other devices are restricted from being placed in the area A2 (see FIG. 12A) on the front side of the TV rack TR.

Next, the information processing unit 30a determines a new device installable region A3 (see FIG. 12A), which is a region obtained by removing the region A2 from the region A1, as a region where a new device can be installed. Next, the information processing unit 30a calculates the actual length of each of the “sides” constituting the new device installable area A3 by using the implemented predetermined function. As described above, the information processing unit 30a has a function of calculating the length of the one line segment in the real world for a certain line segment developed in the coordinates.
Next, the information processing unit 30a displays the area display screen UI8 (FIG. 12B) in which the new device installable area A3 is specified and the actual length of each side of the area is specified. Is generated, the generated drawing data is output to the mobile phone 23A, and the region display screen UI8 is displayed on the display unit (touch panel) of the mobile phone 23A.

FIG. 12B is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of the area display screen UI8.
As shown in FIG. 12B, in the area display screen UI8, the new device can be installed in the room (the first room H1 in this example) where the new device (the sofa in this example) is installed. The area is specified. For this reason, the user can intuitively grasp an area where devices can be arranged in the first room H1 by referring to the area display screen UI8. Furthermore, the resident can acquire a specific value of the length of each side of the new device installable area A3 by referring to the area display screen UI8. For this reason, it can grasp | ascertain more reliably whether the apparatus which is going to purchase can actually be arrange | positioned in the desired area | region of the 1st room H1.

Furthermore, the symbol image SB1 of the new device is displayed on the area display screen UI8. This symbol image SB1 is an image generated based on the size and shape of the device acquired based on the information input on the product information input screen UI7, and is an actual sofa for the actual shape and size of the first room H1. The ratio of the shape and size of the symbol image SB1 to the shape and size of the first room H1 on the product information input screen UI7 is the same.
The symbol image SB1 can be freely moved in the area display screen UI8 and can be freely rotated and displayed by the function of a program installed in a drawing file such as an HTML file. On the area display screen UI8, the resident moves the symbol image SB1 to a position corresponding to the position where he / she intends to install a new device, for example, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. By determining whether or not the symbol image SB1 fits in the new device installable area A3, it is possible to recognize the possibility of installing a new device more intuitively and clearly.

In particular, the present embodiment is configured such that the resident can determine whether a new device can be installed in the room based on the height of the room and the height of the new device to be installed. More specifically, when the symbol image SB1 is placed in the new device installable area A3 by the resident on the area display screen UI8, the two-dimensional coordinate system q is sent from the mobile phone 23A to the service providing server 10. The information indicating the coordinates of each vertex of the area corresponding to the symbol image SB1 is transmitted. The function of calculating each vertex of the area corresponding to the symbol image SB1 may be implemented in a predetermined application of the mobile phone 23A, or may be implemented in a drawing file program for displaying the area display screen UI8. Good.
When information indicating the coordinates of each vertex of the region corresponding to the symbol image SB1 in the two-dimensional coordinate system q is input, the information processing unit 30a calculates the “height” of the room in the region, and Compare with "height". In the present embodiment, the housing shape information J11 is information representing the three-dimensional shape of the room by a set of coordinates in the three-dimensional coordinate system Q. Therefore, the information processing unit 30a is based on the housing shape information J11. The “height” in a predetermined area of the residence 18 can be acquired. Further, the information processing unit 30a calculates the “height” of the new device based on the size and shape of the device acquired based on the information input on the product information input screen UI7.
When the “height” of the new device is lower than the “height” of the room in the area where the symbol image SB1 is arranged and the new device can be arranged in the area, the information processing unit 30a The symbol image SB1 is displayed in a predetermined color (for example, blue). On the other hand, when the “height” of the new device is higher than the “height” of the room in the area where the symbol image SB1 is arranged, and the new device cannot be arranged in the area, the information processing unit 30a Displays the symbol image SB1 in another color (for example, red).
Due to such a configuration, the resident arranges the symbol image SB1 in the new device installable area A3, and then refers to the color of the symbol image SB1, thereby corresponding to the actual area corresponding to the area where the symbol image SB1 is arranged. It is possible to easily and quickly grasp whether or not a new device to be installed can be placed in the area from the viewpoint of “height”.

Further, the resident can easily grasp the actual distance between an arbitrary point in the new device installable area A3 displayed on the area display screen UI8 and another arbitrary point.
More specifically, referring to FIG. 13, when a predetermined point is touched on the area display screen UI8, a mark M1 is displayed at that position as shown in FIG. Furthermore, the touched point is converted into coordinates in the two-dimensional coordinate system q, and information indicating the coordinates is transmitted from the mobile phone 23A to the service providing server 10.
Thereafter, when a predetermined point is touched on the area display screen UI8, a mark M2 is displayed at that position as shown in FIG. Furthermore, the touched point is converted into coordinates in the two-dimensional coordinate system q, and information indicating the coordinates is transmitted from the mobile phone 23A to the service providing server 10.
The information processing unit 30a calculates the actual distance between the point related to the mark M1 and the point related to the mark M2 based on the coordinates of the point related to the mark M1 and the coordinates of the point related to the mark M2. Then, as shown in FIG. 13B, the information processing unit 30a draws a line segment connecting the mark M1 and the mark M2, and in the vicinity of the line segment, a position corresponding to each calculated point. Draw information indicating the actual distance.
Since it has the functions as described above, the resident can change the arbitrary position of the new device installation area A3 and the arbitrary position by a very simple operation of the touch operation on the touch panel 16 of the mobile phone 23A. Know the actual distance.

  When the manual input button L6 is selected on the input method selection screen UI6 in FIG. 11B, the screen is switched to the screen shown in FIG. 11D, and the shape and type of the drawing are directly input. it can. As a result, even when the model name of the device is not known, or when the device information cannot be acquired by inputting information on the product information input screen UI7, various pieces of information on the new device can be input. Note that the screen illustrated in FIG. 11D is merely an example, and any mode can be used as long as information that can be calculated by the information processing unit 30a when the browsing service S3 is provided can be output to the service providing server 10. It may be.

  In the present embodiment, the room selection screen UI5 is configured to select a room in which a new device is to be installed. However, the room in which the device is to be installed is not selected, and all the rooms in the apartment dwelling 18 are targeted. It may be configured to calculate the area where the device can be installed and display it together with the floor plan of all rooms. In this case, if the occupant is configured to be able to enlarge / reduce the floor plan image displayed on the screen, the area corresponding to the room to be actually placed is enlarged, and the area where the device can be installed is increased. It becomes possible to refer to it, and convenience is improved.

<Natural Disaster Information Notification Service S4>
Next, the natural disaster information notification service S4 will be described.
This natural disaster information notification service S4 is a service for notifying appropriate information in consideration of the floor plan via the residence installation terminal 15 when some natural disaster occurs.
The natural disaster information notification service S4 will be described below assuming that an earthquake with a seismic intensity of 1 occurs and an earthquake with a seismic intensity of 5 occurs.
When an earthquake occurs, the natural disaster information notification server 24 outputs information including at least the content of the natural disaster to the service providing server 10 as information related to the earthquake. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the content of the natural disaster includes information indicating the seismic intensity in the case of an earthquake. When information including the content of natural disasters is input, the information processing unit 30a refers to the floor plan information database DB3 and the installed device information database DB4, and acquires each type of device arranged in the apartment house 18. .
Next, the information processing unit 30a refers to the natural disaster information database DB6.

FIG. 5H is an example of the data structure of the natural disaster information database DB6.
The natural disaster information database DB6 is a database that stores predetermined information for each combination of the content of natural disasters and the types of devices.
Here, depending on the content of the natural disaster, there is information useful for the resident in relation to the layout of the apartment house 18 and the installed equipment. For example, in the case of an earthquake with a seismic intensity of a certain level or more, a safety point of view is required for devices having glass members such as televisions, devices that are heavy with refrigerators, devices that are equipped with items such as chiffons and shelves, etc. It is better not to get close to. In the case of an earthquake with a seismic intensity above a certain level, it is better to evacuate under the table, and the gas stove should check its condition.
And in natural disaster information database DB6, the useful information which should be conveyed to a resident for every combination of the content of a natural disaster and the kind of apparatus can be expand | deployed on the image of the floor plan expand | deployed to the three-dimensional coordinate system Q. keeping.
For example, as shown in the first record R1 in FIG. 5 (H), for the type: TV and the nature of the natural disaster: earthquake with seismic intensity 5, It is held as information that can be developed in the coordinate system Q. For example, as shown in the record R2, for the type: gas stove and the nature of the natural disaster: earthquakes with seismic intensities 1 and 5, the information for confirming the fire can be developed in the three-dimensional coordinate system Q. It is held as information.

Now, when there is a notification about natural disaster from the natural disaster information notification server 24, the information processing unit 30a refers to the natural disaster information database DB6 and describes the content of the natural disaster and the Get information according to the combination of types.
Next, drawing data on which the acquired information is displayed together with the floor plan image is generated, the generated drawing data is transmitted to the residence installation terminal 15, and the natural disaster information display screen UI9 based on the drawing data is displayed on the touch panel 16 (FIG. 14). Is displayed. At that time, the information processing unit 30a also transmits sound data of a warning sound corresponding to the content of the earthquake disaster, and outputs the warning sound.

FIG. 14A shows a natural disaster information display screen UI9 displayed on the touch panel 16 of the residence installation terminal 15 when an earthquake of seismic intensity 1 occurs based on the natural disaster information database DB6 based on FIG. FIG. 14B shows a natural disaster information display screen UI9 when the seismic intensity is 5.
In the example of FIG. 14, for convenience of explanation, a gas stove GC and a table TB are arranged in the first room H1 in addition to the TV TV and the TV rack TL. Information on these devices is appropriately stored in the floor plan information database DB3 and the installed device information database DB4.
When generating the drawing data related to the natural disaster information display screen UI9, the information processing unit 30a refers to the natural disaster information database DB6, and for each of the devices installed in the apartment dwelling 18, the content of the natural disaster and the type of the device Get information according to the combination. Further, the information processing unit 30a develops the floor plan image in the two-dimensional coordinate system q in the three-dimensional coordinate system Q based on the house shape information J11, and then refers to appropriate information in the floor plan information database DB3. In addition to specifying the position of the image of the device on which the information regarding the device is to be displayed, the balloon is drawn in association with the image of the device, and the information acquired from the database is displayed in a predetermined manner in each balloon.
More specifically, in the case of an earthquake of seismic intensity 1, the information processing unit 30a recognizes that information related to natural disasters should be displayed for the gas stove GC based on the contents of the natural disaster information database DB6. Next, the information processing unit 30a develops the floor plan image in the two-dimensional coordinate system q in the three-dimensional coordinate system Q, and determines the position of the gas stove GC in the floor plan image based on appropriate information in the floor plan information database DB3. Identify. Next, a balloon is drawn in association with the image of the gas stove GC, and information related to the natural disaster relating to the gas stove GC acquired from the natural disaster information database DB6 is drawn in a predetermined manner in the balloon.

  As is clear from a comparison between FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B, in the natural disaster information notification service S4, when a natural disaster occurs, the layout of the condominium dwelling 18 is shown and the location of the equipment is shown. In addition, appropriate information based on the nature of the natural disaster and the type of equipment is displayed. Therefore, the resident can accurately recognize the action to be performed by himself / herself according to the content of the natural disaster by referring to the touch panel 16 of the residence setting terminal 15 when the warning sound is sounded. It is possible to take correspondence.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, in the natural disaster information notification service S4, the service providing server 10 also provides information related to the evacuation route.
More specifically, when the occurrence of a natural disaster is detected by an input from the natural disaster information notification server 24, the information processing unit 30a of the service providing server 10 uses the same means as described in the out-of-office browsing service S3. The tag position information J24 and terminal orientation information are acquired, and based on these information, the position of the residence installation terminal 15 in the apartment residence 18 and the orientation of the direction in which the terminal faces are acquired.
Next, the information processing unit 30a is optimal as an evacuation site in relation to the equipment installed in the apartment house 18 based on the information in the floor plan information database DB3, the installed equipment information database DB4, and the natural disaster information database DB6. Detect areas. For example, the information processing unit 30a refers to the natural disaster information database DB6, identifies an area where some danger may occur due to the vibration caused by the earthquake, and evacuates the other areas in relation to the type of equipment. Identify the area as the best location. In addition, what kind of method may be sufficient as the identification method of an evacuation place, for example, the method of registering an evacuation place (for example, under table TB) previously may be sufficient. In the natural disaster information database DB6, as an information that can be developed in the three-dimensional coordinate system Q, there is a possibility that some danger may occur due to the vibration caused by the earthquake when an earthquake occurs for each type of equipment. keeping. For example, with regard to the type: TV equipment, information indicating that a range of 1 meter in radius centered on the TV is an area where danger may occur is information that can be developed in the three-dimensional coordinate system Q (for example, tertiary In the original coordinate system Q).
Next, the information processing unit 30a calculates a route (evacuation route) from the current position of the residence installation terminal 15 (the position indicated by the acquired tag position information J24) to the evacuation site. When calculating the evacuation route, the information processing unit 30a identifies a region where some danger may occur due to the vibration caused by the earthquake for each of the installed devices, and the route avoids the region, and Calculate the shortest path possible.
Next, the information processing unit 30a generates drawing data for displaying the natural disaster information display screen UI9 in which an image showing the calculated evacuation route is displayed on the floor plan image developed in the two-dimensional coordinate system q, Output to the residence installation terminal 15. At that time, by the method described in the out-of-office browsing service S3, drawing data is generated so that an image reflecting the direction in which the residence setting terminal 15 faces is displayed around the location of the residence setting terminal 15.

FIG. 15A is a diagram illustrating an example of the position and orientation of the housing installation terminal 15 in the apartment house 18, and FIG. 15B is a natural disaster such as an earthquake in the example illustrated in FIG. It is a figure which shows an example of the natural disaster information display screen UI9 displayed on the touch panel 16 when this occurs.
As shown in FIG. 15B, on the natural disaster information display screen UI9, the evacuation route is clearly shown in the floor plan image. Further, the floor plan image is an image in which the position of the residence installation terminal 15 is centered and the orientation of the residence installation terminal 15 is reflected.
Since the natural disaster information display screen UI9 is displayed in such a display mode, the resident who is actually trying to evacuate can quickly and clearly grasp the evacuation route he should follow, more accurately, and Can evacuate more safely.

<Lifestyle advice service S5>
Next, the lifestyle advice service S5 will be described.
First, before explaining the lifestyle advice service S5, a predetermined function of the residence installation terminal 15 and the current position information J10 of the family information database DB2 will be described.

The residence installation terminal 15 has the following functions.
That is, when the residence installation terminal 15 is connected to the cradle 20, a signal to that effect is input to a predetermined port of the CPU of the terminal-side control unit 37, and this is used as a trigger to realize the function of the shooting control unit 37b. The program on the application 38a is activated.
The imaging control unit 37b generates captured image data based on an input from the camera device 40 at a predetermined sampling period while the residential installation terminal 15 is connected to the cradle 20, and an existing image such as a pattern matching process. Using the processing, the generated captured image data is analyzed, and it is determined whether or not the object has moved within the captured region. Since the movement of the object can be analogized with the movement of the resident, if the movement of the object occurs, it can be considered that the resident is in the apartment house 18.
Then, the imaging control unit 37b notifies the service providing server 10 of information indicating whether or not the movement of the object has been detected at a predetermined sampling period.
When the information processing unit 30a of the service providing server 10 receives the information indicating whether or not the movement of the object has been detected, the information processing unit 30a accumulates and stores the information in association with the received date and time (date, time).

Next, the operation of the service providing server 10 related to the current location information J10 in the family information database DB2 and the current location information J10 will be described.
As described above, predetermined applications for receiving various services from the service providing server 10 are installed in the mobile phones 23A to 23C. The following functions are implemented in this predetermined application.
That is, for a predetermined application, information (position information) for specifying the base station 21a used when the mobile phones 23A to 23C communicate with the telephone network 21 at a predetermined timing is used as its own mobile phone identification code J9. And a function of transmitting to the service providing server 10 via the Internet 12. The predetermined timing is, for example, the timing when the base station 21a is switched, and is, for example, a periodic timing. Since the mobile phone basically communicates with the telephone network 21 via the base station 21a located closest, the mobile phones 23A to 23C are located near the base station 21a used by each mobile phone. It can be inferred that
The information processing unit 30a of the service providing server 10 that has received the information specifying the base station 21a and the mobile phone identification code J9 from any of the mobile phones 23A to 23C uses the mobile phone identification code J9 as a key to The corresponding record is specified from the database DB2, and the content of the current position information J10 of the specified record is updated with the information specifying the received base station 21a. That is, the current position information J10 in one record of the family information database DB2 stores information for specifying the base station 21a with which the mobile phone owned by the resident communicates.

Further, the information processing unit 30a executes the following processing based on the current position information J10.
That is, when a mobile phone is used in the apartment house 18, there is information for specifying a base station 21 a (hereinafter referred to as “resident proximity base station”) used when the mobile phone communicates with the telephone network 21. , Stored in advance in the storage unit 33. Then, the information processing unit 30a periodically monitors the current location information J10 in the family information database DB2, and the base indicated by the current location information J10 for each resident (in this example, father, mother, and daughter). The station 21a cumulatively stores the time zone in which it is a residential proximity base station (hereinafter referred to as “residential proximity time zone”).
More specifically, the information processing unit 30a determines, for the father, the current position of the record related to the father in the family information database DB2 (the record in which the mobile phone identification code J9 is the mobile phone identification code J9 of the father's mobile phone 23A). Information J10 is regularly monitored. When the base station 21a indicated by the current position information J10 shifts from the base station 21a other than the residential proximity base station to the residential proximity base station, the information processing unit 30a displays the date and time (date + time. In this example, 2012/1/1/10: 00)) is temporarily stored. Thereafter, when the base station 21a indicated by the current position information J10 shifts from the residential proximity base station to the base station 21a other than the residential proximity base station, the information processing unit 30a displays the date and time (in this example, 2012/1 / Is temporarily stored). Then, the information processing section 30a stores information indicating 2012/1/1/10: 00 to 2012/1/1/15: 00 at a predetermined storage area as a “residential proximity time zone”. Here, the stored residential proximity time zone is nothing but the time zone in which the father who owns the mobile phone 23A is in the apartment residence 18 or in the vicinity of the apartment residence 18.
In this way, the information processing unit 30a cumulatively stores the residential proximity time zone for each resident.

Next, the lifestyle advice service S5 will be described.
In the following description, the case where the service providing server 10 provides the lifestyle advice service S5 for the father who is one of the residents will be described as an example.
In providing the lifestyle advice service S5 regarding the father, first, the information processing unit 30a of the service providing server 10 calculates an average time period during which the father stays in the apartment house 18, particularly the room where the cradle 20 is provided. To do. The time zone is calculated as follows.
As described above, the information processing unit 30a of the service providing server 10 stores information indicating whether or not the movement of the object has been detected in association with the date and time. Furthermore, the information processing unit 30a cumulatively stores the residential proximity time zone for each resident.
By using this, the information processing unit 30a uses a time zone in which the “time zone in which the movement of the object is continuously detected” overlaps with the “residence proximity time zone for the father”. It is specified as the time zone in which the 18 cradle 20 is provided.
FIG. 16 is a diagram used for specific description of the time zone.
In FIG. 16, the axis S is an axis representing how time passes from left to right. Scales M marked at equal intervals on the axis S represent timings at which information indicating whether or not movement of an object has been detected from the residence installation terminal 15 is received. As described above, the imaging control unit 37b of the residence installation terminal 15 notifies the service providing server 10 of information indicating whether or not the movement of the object has been detected at a predetermined sampling period, while the service providing server 10 When the information processing unit 30a receives information indicating whether or not the movement of the object has been detected, the information processing unit 30a accumulates and stores the information in association with the received date and time (date, time).

In FIG. 16, the graph G1 has received information indicating that the movement of the object has been detected at the timing relating to each scale M on the axis S, or has received information indicating that the movement of the object has not been detected. If the graph on the scale M is “High”, it indicates that information indicating that the movement of the object has been received is received. If the graph on the scale M is “Low”, the movement of the object is indicated. This indicates that information indicating that the information has not been detected has been received.
Further, in FIG. 16, a graph G2 is a graph that clearly indicates a residential proximity time zone for the father, and a time zone in which the graph is “High” indicates a residential proximity time zone.
Referring to FIG. 16, time zone T <b> 1-T <b> 2 is a residential proximity time zone, that is, a time zone in which the father is located in or near condominium residence 18. And in this time slot | zone T1-T2, as shown to the graph G1, in the room where the cradle 20 was provided, the movement of the object is detected continuously. Note that “continuously” the movement of the object is detected means that the movement of the object is detected without a predetermined period. When the “time zone in which the movement of the object is continuously detected” overlaps with the “residence proximity time zone for the father” as in this time zone T1-T2, the father provides the cradle 20 The information processing unit 30a identifies the time zone T1-T2 as the time zone in which the father is in the room where the cradle 20 of the apartment house 18 is provided. .
On the other hand, the time zone T2-T3 is not the residential proximity time zone for the father as shown in the graph G2. Therefore, there is no possibility that the father is in the room where the cradle 20 is provided, and the information processing unit 30a identifies the time zone T2-T3 as the time zone where the father is in the room where the cradle 20 of the apartment house 18 is provided. do not do.
Moreover, although time slot | zone T3-T4 is a residence proximity | contact time slot | zone about a father, it is not "the time slot | zone where the movement of an object is detected continuously". In this case, in the time period T3-T4, there is a high possibility that there was no human being in the room where the cradle 20 of the apartment house 18 was provided. Therefore, although the father is in the vicinity of the apartment house 18, the apartment There is a high possibility that it is not in the residence 18. Based on this, the information processing unit 30a does not specify the time zone T3-T4 as the time zone in which the father is in the room where the cradle 20 of the apartment house 18 is provided.
Thus, in this embodiment, using the mobile phone owned by the resident, based on the information about the base station 21a of the mobile phone and the photographing result of the residence installation terminal 15, about the “respective” of the resident, Calculate the time zone in a specific room. For this reason, the said time slot | zone can be calculated accurately using the existing function effectively. In particular, in calculating the time zone, it is not necessary to provide a special mechanism in terms of physical and software, which is advantageous in terms of cost.

As described above, after identifying the time zone in which the father is in the room where the cradle 20 of the apartment house 18 is provided, the information processing unit 30a determines that the father is in the room based on each of the identified time zones. Calculate the average time zone. The average time zone in which the father is in the room where the cradle 20 is provided is calculated using a statistical method such as a weighted average weighted so that information closer in time is reflected in the result. . At this time, information that deviates from normal information is not used for calculation, and certain reliability is ensured in the calculated time zone.
Next, the information processing unit 30a estimates the lifestyle based on the correspondence relationship between the attribute of the room in which the cradle 20 is provided and the time zone in which the father is present in the room. Note that the information processing unit 30a acquires the attribute of the room in which the cradle 20 is provided based on the room attribute information J16 related to the room in which the cradle 20 is provided.
An example is given and explained about lifestyle guessing. If the attribute of the room in which the cradle 20 is provided is living, the information processing unit 30a assumes that the calculated time zone is a time zone during which the resident is active, and based on the time zone. One pattern is specified from a plurality of predetermined lifestyle patterns by a predetermined algorithm prepared for each room attribute. As the pattern, for example, a plurality of patterns reflecting the tendency of the resident's life such as a tendency to work late at night and a tendency to work early in the morning are prepared. In specifying a pattern, the information processing unit 30a refers to the family information database DB2 and reflects family attributes, age, sex, occupation, family structure, and the like.
As described above, in this embodiment, the information processing unit 30a captures information input from the residence installation terminal 15 in a room having any attribute when estimating the lifestyle (identifying the lifestyle pattern). The lifestyle is estimated after reflecting whether it is generated based on the result. Accordingly, it is possible to estimate the lifestyle by more accurately reflecting the actual state of the human activities in the apartment house 18 in consideration of the tendency of the time zone, mode, etc. in which the human exists depending on the attribute of the room. Become. This is possible because the service providing server 10 manages information indicating the room in which the cradle 20 of the residence installation terminal 15 is provided (= the room in which the residence installation terminal 15 is arranged) as in this embodiment. It becomes.

The information processing unit 30a performs, for example, the following processing based on the identified lifestyle pattern.
That is, the storage unit 33 stores a database in which information useful for the resident is stored for each lifestyle pattern. The useful information is, for example, information indicating a health hazard caused by staying up late for a lifestyle pattern related to a tendency to be active late at night, a menu of a late-night meal that is effective for staying up late. The information stored in the database is appropriately updated automatically or by human means.
Then, the information processing unit 30a acquires useful information corresponding to the identified lifestyle pattern at a predetermined timing, and causes the touch panel 16 to display the information. The predetermined timing is, for example, a predetermined timing such as when a resident enters the room where the cradle 20 is provided based on a notification from the imaging control unit 37b.
Thereby, the resident can acquire useful information based on his / her lifestyle at an appropriate timing.

The lifestyle estimation method described above is merely an example.
For example, an image of each family's face is registered in the residence installation terminal 15, and the time zone in the room where the cradle 20 is provided is calculated for each family using the existing face recognition technology. A configuration that estimates a lifestyle reflecting the attributes of the room and outputs information according to the lifestyle for each family may be used.
Moreover, when estimating a lifestyle, you may consider whether it is a weekday or a holiday. That is, the lifestyle is a concept that includes a wide range of resident life trends that can be calculated by the information processing unit 30a through arithmetic processing based on room attributes and notifications from the imaging control unit 37b.
In the present embodiment, the service providing server 10 is configured to acquire information for identifying the base station 21a of each mobile phone as the location information of the mobile phones 23A to 23B. However, when the cellular phone has a GPS function and the resident permits, the service providing server 10 may acquire position information using GPS as the position information. The position information using GPS is information indicating the position of the mobile phone more precisely than the information specifying the base station 21a of the mobile phone. For this reason, if the position information using GPS is used, the time when the resident is in a specific room more precisely without using the information indicating whether or not the object received from the residence installation terminal 15 has moved. The band can be calculated.

In the present embodiment, the information processing unit 30a uses the information specifying the mobile phone base station 21a and the information indicating whether or not the object received from the residence installation terminal 15 has moved to For each of the above, the time zone in a specific room is calculated, but it may be calculated as follows.
That is, the imaging control unit 37b generates captured image data based on an input from the camera device 40 at a predetermined sampling period while the residence installation terminal 15 is connected to the cradle 20, and performs existing pattern matching processing or the like. The generated photographed image data is analyzed using the image processing of, and it is detected that a specific person exists or does not exist in the room where the cradle 20 is provided. For example, the imaging control unit 37b stores in advance information on each face of the resident (face information that can be used for face recognition). Then, the imaging control unit 37b detects whether or not there is an image indicating a specific human face in the captured image data by the existing face recognition processing, and when the image indicating the face is detected, the specific image is detected in the room. Detect the presence of humans. It should be noted that all existing techniques can be applied to the method for detecting whether or not a person is present in a room. Information indicating whether or not a specific person is in the room is transmitted to the service providing server 10 at any time, and the information processing unit 30a accumulates the time zone in which the specific person is in the room based on the received information. Remember me. The information stored cumulatively in this way may be used to determine the time zone in which a specific person is in a specific room. Note that image processing such as face recognition may be performed by the service providing server 10 side.
Also. Regardless of the optical method, for example, when having a sensor that detects sound, based on the detection value of the sensor, or based on the detection value of the sensor and the imaging result of the camera device, It may be detected whether or not a human is present in the room.

<Safety notification service S6>
Next, the safety notification service S6 will be described.
This safety notification service S6 is a service for notifying information on the safety of residents to a predetermined external device at an appropriate timing based on the floor plan. In the following description, it is assumed that the predetermined external device is the personal terminal 25. The personal terminal 25 is owned by a person who has some relationship with the resident, such as a close relative of the resident of the apartment house 18. Then, according to the safety notification service S6, a person who is involved with the resident can acquire information regarding the resident's safety at an appropriate timing via the personal terminal 25. This service can be effectively utilized when, for example, an elderly person lives alone in the apartment house 18 and a family living away from the elderly person confirms the safety of the elderly person.

Hereinafter, the safety notification service S6 will be described in detail.
As described above, the imaging control unit 37b of the residence installation terminal 15 notifies the service providing server 10 of information indicating whether or not an object has moved in the room in which the cradle 20 is provided at a predetermined sampling period. On the other hand, the information processing unit 30a of the service providing server 10 refers to the notification condition database DB7 stored in the storage unit 33 based on the content of the notification received from the imaging control unit 37b, and whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied. To monitor.

FIG. 5I is a diagram illustrating an example of a data structure of the notification condition database DB7.
As shown in FIG. 5 (I), one record in the notification condition database DB7 is associated with the terminal identification code J1, and room attribute information J16, condition information J25, transmission means information J26, and notification content information J27. The combination of is memorized.
The condition information J25 is information indicating a condition for notifying information on the safety of the resident. In this embodiment, a condition is set for each room attribute. Therefore, for one residence installation terminal 15, a record exists for each attribute of the room on the notification condition database DB7.
The transmission means information J26 is information indicating a means for performing a predetermined notification when the condition indicated by the condition information J25 is satisfied. In this example, the transmission means information J26 is information indicating that a notification is made by e-mail to the mail address of the personal terminal 25.
The notification content information J27 is information indicating the content of notification performed when a corresponding condition is satisfied.

  Based on the terminal identification code J1 included in the notification received from the residence installation terminal 15 at a predetermined timing, the information processing unit 30a uses the device arrangement / shape information J19 related to the cradle 20 in the floor plan information database DB3, etc. The attribute of the room in which the installation terminal 15 is placed is specified, and the corresponding record in the notification condition database DB7 is specified using the terminal identification code J1 and the room attribute information J16 indicating the room attribute as keys. Then, with reference to the condition information J25 in the specified record, it is determined whether or not the condition indicated by the condition information J25 is satisfied based on the notification received from the residence installation terminal 15. When it is determined that the condition indicated by the condition information J25 is established, the notification of the content indicated by the notification content information J27 is output by the transmission means indicated by the transmission means information J26.

Hereinafter, the combination of the room attribute, the condition, and the notification content will be described with an example, and then the operation of the information processing unit 30a will be described.
An example of the condition is that the movement of the object was not detected during 08:00 to 10:00 (hereinafter, time is expressed in 24-hour notation) when the room attribute is living. It is. The living room is a room having a very high possibility of entering when the resident of the apartment house 18 wakes up in the morning and starts the activity. Therefore, in the time zone when the resident wakes up (in this example, 08:00 to 10:00), if there is no entry in the room whose attribute is the living room (= the movement of the object is not detected), The resident may have some trouble. Based on this, if the conditions are set as described above, the mobile phone 23A and the mobile phone 23A, and when there is no possibility of entering the living room at the time of getting up, The possibility will be notified to the resident concerned via the personal terminal 25. In this case, the notification content indicates, for example, that there was no entry into the living room from 08:00 to 10:00.
Further, in the case of the above example, that is, when the condition for performing the notification is “no movement of the object was detected between 08:00 and 10:00”, the information processing unit 30a performs the following processing I do.
That is, the information processing unit 30a receives information (information indicating whether or not movement of an object is detected in the room where the cradle 20 is detected) transmitted from the residence setting terminal 15 at 08:00 to 10:00. Monitor. If the information indicating that the movement of the object is detected in the room provided with the cradle 20 is not received during the time period, it is determined that the information indicated by the condition information J25 is satisfied. After the determination, the information processing unit 30a outputs a notification of the content indicated by the notification content information J27 by the transmission means indicated by the transmission means information J26.

Here, from the viewpoint of accurately notifying safety, it is necessary to change the conditions depending on the attributes of the room. Because the tendency of the time zone and the mode that the resident exists in the room is completely different depending on the attribute of the room, if the condition is a uniform value regardless of the attribute of the room This is because the time zone in which the resident is present in the room and the tendency of the mode are not reflected, and safety information cannot be transmitted at an appropriate timing. In the service providing server 10 according to the present embodiment, a condition for notifying the safety of the resident is set for each attribute of the room, and the room (residential installation terminal 15) in which the cradle 20 is installed is set. Since the safety information is transmitted when a condition corresponding to the attribute is satisfied, information with appropriate contents can be transmitted at an appropriate timing based on the room attribute.
In the floor plan information database DB3, information (room attribute information J16) indicating the attributes of the rooms constituting the residence, information indicating the room where the cradle 20 is installed (arranged device information J17 related to each room), Is stored, the information processing unit 30a identifies the attribute of the room in which the cradle 20 is provided (= the room in which the residence installation terminal 15 is installed) based on these pieces of information.
Needless to say, the conditions for transmitting information relating to safety are not limited to the above example. As an example, when the room attribute is a bedroom, there is no entry into the bedroom once in the time zone where the resident is supposed to sleep (09: 0 to 09:00 on the next day). It can be installed on condition that there is no entry or no entry that has continued for more than 30 minutes. Further, for example, the day of the week, weekday or holiday may be reflected in the condition, and information (age, sex, occupation, etc. of each family) stored in the family information database DB2 may be reflected.

  The service providing server 10 provides a user interface for storing new information in the corresponding record of the notification condition database DB7 and modifying the stored information. Various information stored in the corresponding record in the notification condition database DB7 can be updated via the interface. That is, the resident can change the conditions for notifying about safety as appropriate, and can change the transmission destination and the means of transmission for notifying about safety.

  In the present embodiment, the device for transmitting information related to safety in the safety notification service S6 is the personal terminal 25, but is not limited thereto, and may be anything such as a mobile phone or a server. The means for transmitting information related to safety is not limited to mail, but may be anything such as transmitting a signal to a predetermined dedicated machine according to a protocol.
