Description

  The present disclosure relates to a technique for collecting data from various communication devices and outputting the collected data.

  Conventionally, data generated by various devices is stored in a server as a database to facilitate use of the data. For example, sales data of each sales base is accumulated in a server, and sales trends are analyzed.

  When data is managed by the server, data transmitted from each device is stored in a table according to a certain format and managed as a database, so that the data accumulated in the server can be easily used. Therefore, when data having different formats is transmitted from various devices, a technique for absorbing the difference in these formats on the server side and accumulating data in a database according to a certain format has been studied.

  For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-210732 (Patent Document 1) describes a system in which a master station and a plurality of slave stations are connected by a transmission cable, and the master station collects sales data from each slave station. The slave station is a device such as a vending machine, and generates sales data having a different transmission format for each manufacturer of the slave station. According to the technique described in Patent Document 1, data can be transmitted from slave stations in different transmission formats in order to construct a system for collecting data such as sales data stored in different formats at a low cost. Specifically, the master station stores a data conversion module corresponding to the device number of each slave station. The master station converts the data transmitted from each slave station into a predetermined data format by calling a data conversion module for each company according to the device number provided at the head position of the data transmitted from each slave station. Then, the converted data is stored as sales data in the memory of the main station. As a result, the manufacturer of the slave station can create processing data to be transmitted to the master station in a free format.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-210732

  According to the technique of Patent Document 1, a master station and slave stations are connected by a transmission cable, and the master station sequentially designates each slave station and transmits a sales data transmission request. By doing so, the master station collects sales data from the slave station. According to the technique of Patent Document 1, when the master station manages a slave station that collects data, and the master station and the slave station communicate according to the same communication protocol, the master station may collect data from the slave station. it can.

For example, a server device may collect information such as a user's position from a large number of mobile terminals such as smartphones, and may collect the number of people flowing in or out at a certain point from various sensor devices. In this case, the format of data transmitted by the smartphone may differ from the format of data transmitted by the sensor device. In addition, the number of communication devices that access the server device is indefinite, and it may be practically difficult to prepare a data conversion module in advance according to the device number of each communication device. As described above, even when the applications (services) for generating data are different in each communication device and the format of data transmitted from each communication device to the server device is different, various data generated by each communication device is collected.

<Embodiment 3>
Next, a data collection management system according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 13 illustrates a communication device of each user from the server 20 based on data stored in the server 20 and a user holding the communication device 10 that transmits data to the server 20 in the data collection management system of the third embodiment. 10 is a diagram illustrating a scene in which information is notified to 10.

  In the third embodiment, the communication device 10 receives information related to the event from the server 20 via the network 90. The server 20 includes, as a database, venues where events are held, one or more events held in each venue, information indicating events referred to by each communication device 10, and position information of each communication device 10. The associated information is stored according to the format. Based on the information stored in the database, the server 20 transmits information that prompts the communication device 10 to move to each venue. In addition, when the number of communication devices 10 that refer to the event exceeds the threshold, the data transmission unit 272 of the control unit 207 responds to the communication devices 10 that are located outside the venue where the event is held, among the venues. , Information on an event in which the number of communication devices 10 referring to the event exceeds a threshold value is transmitted. The data transmission unit 272 of the control unit 207 uses the number of communication devices 10 referring to the event to obtain information for estimating the congestion status of the movement route to the venue where the event is held. To other electronic devices.

  For example, in large-scale competitions such as the Olympics, competition events are held at each venue. Each user acquires information about the event from the Web server via the communication device 10 held. In the example of FIG. 13, the communication device 10 displays on the display 142 an event information display button 61 for accepting an operation for accessing a Web server in order to display event information. In addition, the communication device 10 transmits the position information and information on the Web page referred to by the user to the server 20. The server 20 accumulates, as a database, the position information of each user measured by the communication device 10 and the information of the Web page referred to by each user. By doing so, the server 20 can provide each user with information about an event that has a relatively large number of users who have visited the event venue, information about events that each user accesses and references to the Web server, Various information is transmitted to the communication device 10 of each user, such as the congestion status of the venue and information estimating the human flow data each user is going to move to each venue.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the competition, at each venue (first venue 71A, second venue 71B, third venue 71C), competition events (event (competition A1) 74, event (competition B1) 75, Event (competition B2) 76, event (competition C1) 77, event (competition C2) 78) are held. The user operates the communication device 10 to access the Web server, and acquires information on events performed at each venue from the Web server. The user moves between venues along a route (route 72A, route 72B, route 72C, route 72D, route 72E) in order to watch an event of interest. The route 72A and the route 72B are routes for the user to move between the venue A and the venue B. The route 72C and the route 72D are routes for the user to move between the venue A and the venue C. The route 72E is a route for the user to move between the venue B and the venue C.

  The sensor device 73A and the sensor device 73B are sensor devices for measuring the number of people moving, and include, for example, an optical sensor and a camera. For example, the sensor device 73A and the sensor device 73B measure the number of passing humans by analyzing the output value of the optical sensor or by performing image processing on the image captured by the camera. In addition, for example, the sensor device 73A and the sensor device 73B are readers including an electromagnetic reading unit, an optical reading unit, and other reading units, and when the user causes the reader to read a predetermined identification object, It is good also as measuring the number of people who passed. For example, the sensor device 73A and the sensor device 73B are readers capable of reading RFID (radio frequency identifier) tags, and the number of people passing by counting the number of times the user holds the RFID tag over the reader (human flow data). ) May be measured. Further, the sensor device 73A and the sensor device 73B are optical scanners that can read a code expressed in a two-dimensional format, and the number of people passed by a user reading a code in a two-dimensional format by the optical scanner. May be measured. The sensor device 73A measures the number of users moving between the venue A and the venue B. The sensor device 73B measures the number of users moving between the venue A and the venue C.

  The communication device 10 held by the user transmits the respective position information to the server 20. Therefore, the server 20 can determine which venue is congested and which route is congested based on the position information of each user. For example, the server 20 sets a threshold value for each venue and each route, and determines that a venue and a route with a number of users exceeding the threshold are congested based on the location information of each user. In the example of FIG. 13, the event (competition A1) 74 of the first venue 71A is watched by more users than other events. Further, the route 72C is used by many users for movement compared to other routes, and is congested.

<Notice of noticed events>
When the number of events that a user watches an event in a certain venue exceeds the threshold, the server 20 determines that the event is attracting attention, and determines that there is an event that is attracting attention by the user. Notify the user. In addition, the number of accesses to the event page (the content of the event, the place where the event is held, the information of the players participating in the event, etc.) that the user accesses and accesses the Web server reaches a threshold value, and a certain number within a certain period If there is a condition such as access, it is determined that the event is attracted by a relatively large number of users, and is notified to users outside the venue where the event is held. In the example of FIG. 13, the notification information 63 displays on the display 142 of the communication device 10 that the event (competition A1) 74 held at the first venue 71A is drawing attention. Based on the information notified from the server 20, the user can move toward the venue where the event is held using each route.

<Route guidance and congestion notification>
Based on the location information of each user stored in the database and the event page that each user accesses and refers to the Web server via the communication device 10, the server 20 When referring to the venue map, the user's communication device 10 is guided to the route to the referenced venue. In addition, when there are more than a certain number of users outside the venue referencing the map of a certain venue, there is a possibility that many users outside the venue will move toward the venue. Therefore, based on the information stored in the database, the server 20 is busy with the communication device 10 of the user outside the venue referring to the map, and the route status to the venue is congested. Send alerts and other information. In the example of FIG. 13, the communication device 10 displays a congestion status display button 62 for accepting an operation for displaying a route congestion status on the display 142. When there is a route that is expected to be congested (for example, when the number of users outside the venue referring to a map of a certain venue exceeds a certain number), the server 20 is congested with respect to the communication device 10 held by the guide 79. An instruction is transmitted to guide the user in a route that is assumed to be.

  The reference event page 269C indicates the address of the Web page that the user accesses to the Web server and refers to.

  The position information 269D indicates position information of each user. In addition, about the data output from the sensor apparatus, the positional information 269D shows the position where each sensor apparatus is installed.

  The event holding venue 269E indicates a place where each user is located. For example, the communication device 10 accesses the Web server and registers the user's position (venue, route, or other position) in the Web server, or the communication device 10 receives the user based on the position information measurement result by a GPS sensor or the like. The position of is determined.

  The event 269F indicates an event that the user is watching. For example, the communication device 10 acquires position information, and determines that an event closest to the user's position at the venue where the user is located is an event that the user is watching.

  The inflow number 269G indicates the number of inflows. For example, a sensor device such as the sensor device 73A transmits a measurement result obtained by measuring a person's flow to the server 20 at regular time intervals.

  Also in the third embodiment, each device such as the communication device 10 and the sensor device 73A transmits data to the server 20 in a data format corresponding to each service.

For example, the server 20 periodically executes the process shown in FIG.

  In step S241, the control unit 207 of the server 20 refers to the reference event page 269C and the like of the data storage table 269, and determines whether there is an event page accessed by the user that exceeds the threshold. To do. If there is an event page with the number of accesses exceeding the threshold (YES in step S241), control unit 207 performs the process of step S243. If not (NO in step S241), control unit 207 ends the process. .

  In step S243, the control unit 207 refers to the position information 269D of the data storage table 269 and the like, and based on the user position information accumulated in the database, an event (attention event) where the event page access exceeds the threshold is held. The user's communication device 10 outside the venue is specified, and information on the event of interest is transmitted to the specified communication device 10.

  In step S245, the control unit 207 moves to the venue where the event of interest is held based on the number of users referencing the event of interest and the congestion status of the movement route between the venues. The congestion situation at the time is estimated, and the estimated congestion situation is transmitted to the communication device 10 of each user outside the venue.
