The storage unit 17 includes a rewritable nonvolatile memory such as EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory).

Furthermore, in addition to the above configuration, the data generation system 1 may further include a communication unit, a user interface, and the like. However, the communication unit, user interface, etc. are not essential components of the data generation system 1. FIG. 1 illustrates the configuration of the data generation system 1 other than the first acquisition unit 11, second acquisition unit 12, generation unit 13, display output unit 14, data output unit 15, update unit 16, and storage unit 17. are omitted as appropriate.

The communication unit is configured to communicate with an external system (including the shape measurement system 2, the sensor system 3, the information terminal 4, and the data processing system 5) directly or indirectly via a network, a repeater, or the like. ing.

The user interface is not limited to a touch panel display, and may include an input device such as a keyboard, pointing device, mechanical switch, or gesture sensor. Further, the user interface may include an audio input/output section instead of or in addition to the touch panel display.

(2.3) Shape Measuring System Next, the shape measuring system 2 used together with the data generation system 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

The shape measurement system 2 includes a measurement terminal 21, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the measurement terminal 21 has a size that can be carried by the worker H1, and is realized by, for example, a tablet terminal. The measurement terminal 21 includes measurement means (sensors) such as an image sensor (camera), a distance image sensor, a sonar sensor, a radar, or LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), and uses these measurement means to determine the spatial shape around the measurement terminal 21. Measure. Specifically, the measurement terminal 21 uses a measuring means to measure the distance to structures such as walls, floors, columns, or ceilings that are present within the visible range from the measurement terminal 21, and the shapes of these structures.

According to such a shape measurement system 2, it is possible to generate spatial information D1 regarding the shape of the target space A1 of the facility F1. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the worker H1 stands in the target space A1 of the facility F1 while holding the measurement terminal 21, moves within the target space A1, or points the measurement terminal 21 in various directions. By doing so, the three-dimensional shape of the target space A1 can be measured by the measuring means. A plurality of pieces of measurement data obtained by the measurement terminal 21 are combined in the measurement terminal 21 and processed into spatial information D1 representing the three-dimensional shape of the target space A1.

That is, according to the shape measurement system 2, spatial information D1 as shown in FIG. 2 is generated based on measurement data measured at the facility F1. The spatial information D1 thus generated by the shape measurement system 2 is transmitted from the shape measurement system 2 to the data generation system 1 (first acquisition unit 11) at any time.

In addition, in FIG. 2, etc., the spatial information D1 is given reference signs of the facility F1 and the target space A1, which indicates that the spatial information D1 corresponds to the facility F1 and the target space A1. However, the spatial information D1 does not actually include the facility F1 and the target space A1.

By the way, measurement of measurement data by the shape measurement system 2 is performed, for example, at the timing when the worker H1 enters the target space A1, such as during a preview inspection (finish inspection) performed at the time of completion of the facility F1. Thereby, when the worker H1 performs work such as a preview inspection, measurement data for generating the spatial information D1 can be collected at the same time, and an increase in the burden on the worker H1 can be suppressed.

When measuring measurement data at such timing, as shown in FIG. 2, equipment 9 such as air conditioning equipment 91 or lighting equipment 92 is already installed on the wall or ceiling, etc. at the time of measurement. Sometimes. Therefore, although the equipment 9 (air conditioning equipment 91 or lighting equipment 92, etc.) is not shown in the spatial information D1 in FIG. 2, in reality, the shape of the equipment 9 (air conditioning equipment 91, lighting equipment 92, etc.) is also included in the spatial information. This will be reflected in D1. Furthermore, although fittings such as doors or windows are not shown in the space information D1 in FIG. 2, in reality, the shape of the fittings is also reflected in the space information D1.

(2.4) Sensor System Next, the sensor system 3 used together with the data generation system 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3.

The sensor system 3 includes a plurality of sensor terminals 31, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the sensor terminal 31 has a shape and size that can be installed on the wall or ceiling of the facility F1. The sensor terminal 31 includes a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a pressure (atmospheric pressure) sensor, a light (brightness) sensor, an acceleration sensor, an airflow (wind speed) sensor, an image sensor (camera), a sound sensor, an odor sensor, a current/voltage sensor, Includes multiple types of sensors such as air quality sensors or vibration sensors. Each sensor terminal 31 has one or more sensors among these plurality of types of sensors. Each sensor terminal 31 detects a desired physical quantity by converting the physical quantity into an electrical signal using the various sensors described above. By using multiple types of sensors, various physical quantities such as temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, illumination, airflow, sound, vibration, and air quality can be detected.

According to such a sensor system 3, it is possible to generate equipment information D2 regarding the equipment 9 installed in the target space A1. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, by installing a plurality of sensor terminals 31 at appropriate locations in the target space A1 where the equipment 9 is installed, and operating the equipment 9 in this state, the specifications of the equipment 9 can be determined. , it becomes possible to detect physical quantities related to performance, functionality, etc. Here, it is preferable that the plurality of sensor terminals 31 include the plurality of types of sensors described above so that at least the plurality of sensor terminals 31 as a whole can detect a plurality of types of physical quantities (temperature, humidity, illuminance, etc.). Sensor data corresponding to various physical quantities detected by the plurality of sensor terminals 31 is collected by any one of the sensor terminals 31 serving as a master device, and processed into environmental information. The environmental information includes, for example, information regarding the distribution of physical characteristics such as temperature, humidity, pressure (atmospheric pressure), illuminance, or airflow in the target space A1. The sensor terminal 31 serving as a parent device generates equipment information D2 including the above-mentioned environmental information based on sensor data detected by the plurality of sensor terminals 31.

That is, according to the sensor system 3, equipment information D2 is generated that includes environmental information based on sensor data acquired from the target space A1 in which the equipment 9 is installed. However, the sensor data is not limited to being directly acquired from the target space A1, but may be acquired indirectly from the target space A1. For example, even if the sensor terminal 31 is installed in a room next to the target space A1, under the floor, or in the ceiling, physical quantities such as sound or vibration can be indirectly acquired as sensor data from the target space A1.

Here, the environmental information includes information regarding the distribution of physical characteristics (temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, illuminance, airflow, etc.) in the target space A1. In other words, the sensor system 3 generates equipment information D2 that includes environmental information regarding the distribution of physical characteristics in the target space A1. In this embodiment, as described above, the equipment 9 that is the target of the equipment information D2 is fixedly installed at a fixed position in the facility F1. Therefore, for example, regarding the air conditioning equipment 91, the sensor system 3 can generate equipment information D2 that includes the temperature distribution and airflow distribution in the target space A1 when the air conditioning equipment 91 is in operation as environmental information. . Further, for example, regarding the lighting equipment 92, the sensor system 3 can generate equipment information D2 that includes, as environmental information, the distribution of illuminance in the target space A1 when the lighting equipment 92 is in operation (lit). The equipment information D2 generated by the sensor system 3 in this way is transmitted from the sensor system 3 to the data generation system 1 (second acquisition unit 12) at any time.

Furthermore, the equipment information D2 transmitted to the data generation system 1 is combined with the spatial information D1, and the data generation system 1 generates facility data D10 including the spatial information D1 and the equipment information D2. Therefore, in FIG. 3, the equipment 9 (air conditioning equipment 91 and lighting equipment 92) in the facility data D10 is given the reference symbol of equipment information D2, but this conceptually indicates the equipment information D2. It's just that.

By the way, the extraction of sensor data by the sensor system 3 is performed, for example, during a sampling period of a certain length (for example, about one week, two weeks, or one month) after the completion of the facility F1. For example, the sensor terminal 31 is installed at the timing when the worker H1 enters the target space A1, such as a preview inspection (finishing inspection) performed at the time of completion, and is removed at the timing when the sampling period ends. Thereby, sensor data for generating the equipment information D2 can be collected during the period when the equipment 9 is actually in operation, and the reliability of the equipment information D2 is improved.

(3) Data Generation Method Hereinafter, a data generation method using the data generation system 1 according to this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5B.

First, facility data D10 generated by the data generation method according to this embodiment will be explained. In this embodiment, the facility data D10 is data that includes spatial information D1 and equipment information D2, as shown in FIG. 3, and is data in which the spatial information D1 and the equipment information D2 are associated with each other. For example, the association is performed by assigning the same identifier to the space information D1 and the equipment information D2.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the facility data D10 includes position information representing the installation position of the equipment 9 within the target space A1. In other words, the equipment information D2 of a certain equipment 9 includes position information indicating the position (coordinate position) where this equipment 9 is installed in the target space A1. Thereby, the equipment information D2 of this equipment 9 is associated with the same position where this equipment 9 is installed also on the target space A1 represented by the spatial information D1. For example, the equipment information D2 regarding the air conditioning equipment 91 installed in the living room is also associated with the position corresponding to the living room in the spatial information D1 in the facility data D10. On the other hand, for example, the equipment information D2 regarding the air conditioning equipment 91 installed in the bedroom is also associated with the position corresponding to the bedroom in the spatial information D1 in the facility data D10. Therefore, in the facility data D10, information on the equipment 9 including the installation position of the equipment 9 can be managed.

Here, in this embodiment, the use of the facility data D10 is assumed to be maintenance and management of the facility F1, particularly maintenance and management of the equipment 9 installed in the facility F1. Therefore, in this embodiment, the equipment information D2 includes information used for maintenance and management of the equipment 9. Information used for maintenance and management of the equipment 9 may include, for example, information such as how the equipment 9 is used, cumulative operating time, and maintenance timing. For example, if you know how to use the air conditioning equipment 91, such as not using it for heating but only for cooling, when replacing the air conditioning equipment 91, we can suggest replacing it with an air conditioning equipment 91 that specializes in cooling performance. etc. becomes possible. For example, if you know how to use the lighting equipment 92 such that it is always used at a dimming level of 50%, when replacing the lighting equipment 92, you can suggest replacing it with a lighting equipment 92 with a lower output. becomes possible.

More specifically, in this embodiment, the equipment information D2 includes characteristic information regarding at least one of the specifications, performance, and functions of the equipment 9. That is, the characteristic information is information that expresses the characteristics required or expected of the equipment 9 more abstractly than the product number, model number, etc. of the equipment 9. Therefore, from such characteristic information, it becomes easy to specify, for example, equipment 9 having the same performance or function as the existing equipment 9. In this embodiment, the equipment information D2 may be generated based on sensor data acquired from the target space A1 where the equipment 9 is installed, and if it is characteristic information regarding the specifications, performance, or functions of the equipment 9, , easy to identify. For example, in the case of the air conditioning equipment 91, the performance such as cooling capacity or heating capacity of the air conditioning equipment 91 can be easily specified based on the relationship between the size of the target space A1 and the temperature in the target space A1 when the air conditioning equipment 91 is in operation. Further, for example, in the case of the lighting equipment 92, the performance such as the output of the lighting equipment 92 can be easily specified based on the relationship between the size of the target space A1 and the illuminance in the target space A1 when the lighting equipment 92 is in operation.

In particular, in this embodiment, the equipment information D2 includes environmental information including information regarding the distribution of physical characteristics (temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, illuminance, airflow, etc.) in the target space A1. There may be a correlation between the specifications, performance, or functions of the equipment 9 and the distribution of physical characteristics in the target space A1 when the equipment 9 is in operation. For example, in the case of the air conditioning equipment 91, the temperature distribution, airflow distribution, etc. within the target space A1 when the air conditioning equipment 91 is in operation differ depending on the specifications, performance, or functions of the air conditioning equipment 91. Further, for example, in the case of the lighting equipment 92, the distribution of illuminance within the target space A1 when the lighting equipment 92 is in operation differs depending on the specifications, performance, or function of the lighting equipment 92. Therefore, the specifications, performance, functions, etc. of the equipment 9 can be specified from the equipment information D2 including information regarding the distribution of physical characteristics in the target space A1.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the facility data D10 is data that indicates the status of at least the maintenance and management of the facility 9 by a combination of the spatial information D1 and the facility information D2. That is, in this embodiment, the situation related to the maintenance and management of the equipment 9 is shown as a result of combining both the space information D1 and the equipment information D2. For example, since the space information D1 alone does not have information regarding the equipment 9, it naturally does not indicate the status of maintenance and management of the equipment 9. On the other hand, since it is not known from the equipment information D2 alone what shape the equipment 9 is installed in the target space A1, for example, when replacing the equipment 9, it is difficult to know what size equipment 9 should be used, or what equipment to inspect the equipment 9. It is not possible to specify what kind of equipment should be brought in.

In addition, the equipment information D2 may include information that specifically identifies the equipment 9, such as the product number or model number of the equipment 9, and information such as installation time and power consumption.

Such facility data D10 is data that is intended to be used for the maintenance and management of the facility F1, especially for the maintenance and management of the equipment 9 installed in the facility F1, so it is used in the construction (new construction) work of the facility F1. Compared to BIM data, etc., the amount of information required is smaller. For example, BIM data used in the construction (new construction) work of facility F1 includes information on parts necessary for construction (installation and connection) of equipment 9, but facility data D10 in this embodiment includes , information on such members is unnecessary.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the data generation method according to this embodiment.

That is, first, for example, in conjunction with a preview inspection at the time of completion, the shape measurement system 2 executes three-dimensional measurement to measure the shape of the target space A1 of the facility F1 (S1). Since the shape measurement system 2 generates the spatial information D1 based on the measurement data, the data generation system 1 uses the first acquisition unit 11 to acquire the spatial information D1 from the shape measurement system 2 (S2). .

Next, during a sampling period of a certain length after completion of construction, sensor data is acquired from the target space A1 where the equipment 9 is installed using the plurality of sensor terminals 31 of the sensor system 3 installed in the facility F1 (S3). Then, when the sampling period ends, the sensor system 3 generates the equipment information D2 based on the sensor data, so the data generation system 1 uses the second acquisition unit 12 to acquire the equipment information D2 from the sensor system 3. (S4).

Next, in the data generation system 1, the generation unit 13 associates the acquired spatial information D1 and equipment information D2 to generate facility data D10 (S5 to S10). Specifically, in the data generation system 1, first, the generation unit 13 extracts the equipment 9 from the spatial information D1 (S5). At this time, each extracted facility 9 is given an identifier in the form of "nth facility" (n is a natural number). The generation unit 13 sets the variable n to "1" (S6), and provides equipment information D2 to the nth equipment (here, the first equipment) in the space information D1 (S7). The generation unit 13 then determines whether provision of the equipment information D2 has been completed for all of the equipment 9 extracted in the spatial information D1 (S8).

If the provision of the equipment information D2 is not completed (S8: No), the generation unit 13 increments the variable n (S9) and returns to the process S7. On the other hand, when provision of the equipment information D2 is completed for all the equipment 9 (S8: Yes), the generation unit 13 stores (memorizes) the generated facility data D10 in the storage unit 17 (S10).

The flowchart in FIG. 4 is only an example of a data generation method, and processes may be omitted or added as appropriate, or the order of processes may be changed as appropriate.

5A and 5B are explanatory diagrams conceptually representing the process of generating facility data D10.

That is, since the shape of the target space A1 is reflected in the spatial information D1, as shown in FIG. 5A, a protrusion in the shape of the air conditioner 91 occurs on the wall where the air conditioner 91 is installed. Therefore, the generation unit 13 extracts the equipment 9 from the spatial information D1 by recognizing such a protruding shape as the equipment 9 (S5). Then, the generation unit 13 provides equipment information D2 to the extracted air conditioning equipment 91 (S7). As a result, in the target space A1 on the spatial information D1, as shown in FIG. 5B, the equipment information D2 is pasted on the air conditioning equipment 91, and the spatial information D1 and the equipment information D2 are associated with each other. Ru.

By performing similar processing for all the extracted facilities 9, the association between the spatial information D1 and the facility information D2 is completed, and facility data D10 is generated.

(4) Example of utilization of facility data Hereinafter, an example of utilization of the facility data D10 generated by the data generation system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B.

In this embodiment, the data generation system 1 outputs display data for displaying the facility data D10 using the display output unit 14. The display output unit 14 enables the information terminal 4 to display the facility data D10 by transmitting display data to the information terminal 4.

That is, as shown in FIG. 6A, the display unit 41 of the information terminal 4 displays an image (screen) including the facility data D10, which is transmitted (distributed) from the display output unit 14 of the data generation system 1. The information terminal 4 has a touch panel display, and the display section 41 also functions as an input section that receives operations from the worker H1. Thereby, the worker H1 can check the facility data D10 of the facility F1 by looking at the screen displayed on the information terminal 4, as shown in FIG. 6A. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 6A, the information terminal 4 displays a floor plan of the facility F1 based on the spatial information D1 and an icon D11 of the facility 9 based on the facility information D2 as the facility data D10. . In this embodiment, the facility data D10 is divided into two layers of data, in which a floor plan based on the spatial information D1 is displayed as a base layer, and icons D11 etc. of equipment 9 based on the equipment information D2 are superimposed on the base layer. displayed as a superimposed layer. That is, the spatial information D1 and the equipment information D2 are displayed on different layers. Thereby, the worker H1 can confirm on the screen of the information terminal 4 the floor plan of the facility F1 and what kind of equipment 9 is installed in the facility F1.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6A, when the worker H1 taps the icon D11 of the air conditioning equipment 91 and gives an input to the information terminal 4 to select this icon D11, a screen as shown in FIG. 6B appears. Switch to . In the example of FIG. 6B, a part of the facility F1 including the equipment 9 (here, air conditioning equipment 91) corresponding to the tapped icon D11 is displayed in an enlarged manner, and then equipment information D2 regarding this equipment 9 is displayed. There is. In the example of FIG. 6B, the equipment information D2 includes explanation information D21 related to the description of the equipment 9 and characteristic information D22 related to the characteristics of the equipment 9. The explanatory information D21 includes information such as the cooling capacity or heating capacity of the air conditioning equipment 91, and is displayed in a speech bubble that is superimposed on the floor plan (spatial information D1) of the facility F1. The characteristic information D22 represents the distribution of airflow generated by the air conditioning equipment 91 within the target space A1, and is displayed superimposed on the floor plan (space information D1) of the facility F1.

A screen such as the one illustrated in FIG. 6B will be displayed for each piece of equipment 9. That is, when the icon of the lighting equipment 92 is tapped on the screen of FIG. 6A, equipment information D2 regarding this lighting equipment 92 is displayed.

They may be provided in a dispersed manner. For example, the first acquisition section 11, the second acquisition section 12, and the generation section 13 of the data generation system 1 may be provided in a separate housing from the display output section 14 and the data output section 15. Furthermore, at least some of the functions of the data generation system 1 may be realized by a cloud (cloud computing) or the like.

Furthermore, the use of the facility data D10 (see FIG. 3) generated by the data generation system 1 is not limited to the maintenance and management of the facility F1 (including the maintenance and management of the equipment 9). For example, based on the facility data D10, it is possible to recommend a replacement piece of equipment with the same function as the certain piece of equipment 9 to the administrator of the facility F1 where a certain piece of equipment 9 is installed.

For example, the measurement terminal 21 may only measure measurement data, the measurement terminal 21 may transmit the measurement data to a higher-level system such as a server, and the higher-level system may generate the spatial information D1 from the measurement data.

(Embodiment 2)
As shown in FIG. 7, the data generation system 1A according to this embodiment is different from the data generation system 1 according to the first embodiment in that it includes an estimator 18.

"Estimation" as used in the present disclosure means to determine (determine) something in advance, and in particular includes not only what a person decides after thinking about it, but also generally making some kind of decision based on certain facts. Therefore, for example, when input information is input to a computer system, if the computer system performs calculations based on the input information and outputs some information as output information, the output information of the computer system is It is assumed that That is, if it is the estimating unit 18, the equipment information D2 is inputted, and the estimation regarding the state of the facility F1 is performed based on this equipment information D2.

The estimation unit 18 basically estimates the state of the facility F1, which is difficult to measure with the shape measurement system 2. As an example, the estimation unit 18 estimates hidden wiring (preceding wiring), concealed piping (preceding piping), wall thickness, or materials of structures such as walls, floors, columns, or ceilings in the facility F1.

For example, if the equipment 9 is an outlet as a wiring device installed on a wall, the estimation unit 18 knows that there is a 100V or 200V power line behind the wall where the equipment 9 is installed. It can be estimated by In particular, if the outlet is connected to a 200V type air conditioning equipment 91, the estimation unit 18 can estimate that there is a 200V power line behind the wall where this equipment 9 (outlet) is installed. It is. As another example, if the equipment 9 is a washing machine, the estimating unit 18 can estimate that there is a water supply pipe and a drainage pipe around the washing machine.

Such an estimation result by the estimation unit 18 is included in the facility data D10. That is, the generation unit 13 generates facility data D10 including the estimation result by the estimation unit 18, and stores it in the storage unit 17.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first acquisition unit 11 acquires the spatial information D1 from the database 7 instead of the shape measurement system 2. That is, instead of the data generated by actually measuring the facility F1 with the measurement terminal 21 of the shape measurement system 2 as in the first embodiment, BIM data etc. stored in the database 7 are used as the spatial information D1. The first acquisition unit 11 acquires it. The spatial information D1 (BIM data, etc.) stored in the database 7 is, for example, data created at the time of construction (new construction) of the facility F1. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the three-dimensional measurement process ("S1" in FIG. 4) for measuring the shape of the target space A1 of the facility F1 can be omitted in the shape measurement system 2.

Further, in the second embodiment, it is not essential that the first acquisition unit 11 acquires the spatial information D1 from the database 7, and similarly to the first embodiment, the first acquisition unit 11 acquires the spatial information D1 from the shape measurement system 2. may be obtained.

The various configurations (including modified examples) described in Embodiment 2 can be employed in appropriate combination with the various configurations (including modified examples) described in Embodiment 1.
