[0021]
The arithmetic unit in the CPU 41 performs four arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) on various data stored in the register, or logical operation (logical product, logical sum, negation, exclusive logical sum). Etc.) or processing such as data comparison or data shift. The processing result is stored in a register or the like. The clock generation unit generates a clock signal (clock signal) for synchronizing the time of each part of the CPU 41. The CPU 41 operates based on this clock signal. The instruction processing unit controls and processes the fetching, decoding, and execution of instructions to be executed by the arithmetic unit or the like. Further, the CPU 41 detects the data sent or the calculation result and the time in real time based on the clock signal, and temporarily stores them in the RAM 43 or the like.
[0022]
A ROM (Read Only Memory) 42 stores a control program for controlling the CPU 41, various data used by the CPU, and the like. As the ROM 42, one constituted by a semiconductor chip, a hard disk device or the like is used. The control program for the CPU 41 includes processing procedures such as instructions for causing the CPU 41 to execute various processes and analysis operations, in addition to the basic software of the CPU 41 such as an OS (Operating System).
[0023]
A RAM (Random Access Memory) 43 stores information such as intermediate data calculated by the CPU 41 temporarily. The RAM 43 is configured by, for example, a semiconductor chip.
[0024]
A digital electrical signal generated by the CPU 41 or a digital electrical signal input to the CPU 41 is exchanged with the outside through the input / output interface unit 11. In the input / output interface unit 11, an A / D converter, a D / A converter, and the like (not shown), which are conversion systems for digital signals and analog signals, are provided.
[0025]
The input device 30 includes a keyboard, a pointing device, and the like, and inputs operation commands and data for the computer 10. The pointing device is an apparatus in which an arrow-like figure (pointer) is displayed on the screen of the image display device 20, the pointer can be moved by an operation, and an arbitrary position on the screen can be selected by clicking or the like. In addition to the mouse, there are a pad-shaped object and a rotatable ball-shaped object. Operation commands and data input to the input device 30 are sent to the CPU 41 in the computer 10 via the input / output interface unit 11.
[0026]
The image display device 20 is composed of a cathode ray tube, a liquid crystal display, or the like, and data output from the CPU 41 in the computer 10 via the input / output interface unit 11 is displayed on the screen as an image, characters, numbers, or the like. The output data can be further printed on paper by a printer (not shown) and output.
[0027]

The output device 60 includes an output terminal, a transmission device, and a medium recording device. Examples of the medium recording apparatus include an apparatus that records data on a recording medium such as a disk or a card by magnetism or light.
[0028]
The control or processing of the CPU 41 described above is realized by a software program that is executed in cooperation with the ROM 42 and the RAM 43.
[0029]
Next, the operation of the area evaluation questionnaire information collection system 100 of this embodiment will be described.
[0030]
As shown in FIG. 3, in the image display device 20, the screen 50 is divided into a plurality of regions by a mesh composed of vertical lines and horizontal lines. In the example of FIG. 3, it is divided into m pieces (m: an integer of 2 or more) in the vertical direction and n pieces (n: integer of 2 or more) in the left-right direction. ) Divided into a plurality of regions P11 to Pmn. On the screen 50, the vertical lines and horizontal lines that divide the mesh may not be displayed only on the data.
[0031]
On the screen 50, for example, a map image of a region where questionnaire evaluation is performed is displayed. In the case of the example of FIG. 3, this map image is divided into (m × n) areas P11 to Pmn. In this case, the divided individual elements P11 and the like in the map image are hereinafter referred to as “element map images”.
[0032]
In addition, although not shown, selection switch information is embedded in each element map image P11 and the like. This selection switch information functions as a switch for the CPU 41 to detect that an element map image is selected when a certain element map image is selected by a key or a pointing device of the input device 30. Specifically, each position on the screen 50 is represented by coordinates, and when the input device 30 is clicked by a questionnaire subject in an area of a certain element map image, the CPU 41 displays the corresponding element map image. The control is such that it is determined that it has been selected.
[0033]
In this case, a so-called touch panel switch may be used as the input device 30. The touch panel switch is a device that has a transparent electrode disposed on the surface of the image display device 20 and detects a selection of selection switch information by performing a switch operation when the transparent electrode is pressed. As the input device 30, a so-called light pen can be used. The light pen is a device that detects the selection of selection switch information by directly inputting light onto the surface of the display surface of the image display device 20 by light irradiation.
[0034]
The CPU 41 assigns a value to each of the element map images P11 and the like according to selection or non-selection. For example, “1” is assigned when selected, and “0” is assigned when not selected. This may be reversed, or another different binary value. Thereby, a value is given to each element map image P11 etc. about one questionnaire subject. The result is stored in the RAM 43. When such a questionnaire is conducted for a plurality of questionnaire subjects, the CPU 41 adds (accumulates) the values given to each element map image P11 and the like by the plurality of questionnaire subjects for each element map image, and the result is Each element map image is stored in the RAM 43.
[0035]
Next, CPU41 outputs the result of a questionnaire to a questionnaire implementer. A questionnaire practitioner is a person who installs this area evaluation questionnaire information collection system 100 and conducts a questionnaire. The output of the questionnaire result may be output using the image display device 20 of the regional evaluation questionnaire information collection system 100 or may be output by the output device 60.
[0036]
The CPU 41 creates questionnaire result data based on the result of the integrated value of each element map image P11 and the like as described above. For example, the questionnaire result data is image data that changes the display form of the element map image according to the value of the integrated value. Specifically, the element map image is displayed in a different pattern according to the range of the integrated value. FIG. 4 shows an example of this. This example is a result of asking how the station and each area around the station are used. In this case, for example, a question “Please touch the zone you use when commuting to school” is prepared, and a touch panel switch is used as an input device. Then, according to the numerical value range of the questionnaire result, for each zone (element map image), “screen”, “slashed line”, “dark screen”, “check pattern”, etc. are assigned and displayed separately. Alternatively, different colors such as “red”, “blue”, and “yellow” may be assigned and displayed separately instead of the pattern. Alternatively, a combination of patterns and colors may be assigned and displayed separately.
[0037]
Two or more question screens may be provided. For example, as mentioned above, after asking the first question “Please touch the zone you use when commuting or going to school” and letting the survey subjects touch the screen, A similar questionnaire may be done: "Please touch the zone you use when shopping." Alternatively, it is also possible to conduct third and fourth questionnaires. FIG. 4 is an example in which two results of a commuting / commuting use purpose and a shopping (shopping) use purpose are displayed on one screen. Further, the example of FIG. 4 shows an example in which the ratio (percentage) of each purpose is also asked.
[0038]
The questionnaire result data may be in other display forms. For example, it may be a perspective image of a three-dimensional histogram displaying a histogram (bar graph) so as to appear three-dimensionally. In this case, the height in the vertical direction on the screen of each three-dimensional histogram is illustrated so as to be proportional to the binary integrated value for each element map image of the questionnaire result. In this way, the element map image that has been selected many times by the questionnaire subjects is displayed with a high vertical height on the screen, and it can be intuitively understood that many are selected.
[0039]
In addition to the “area to be used (region or district)” as described above, various items are possible for the question mode of the questionnaire. For example, it is possible to select an “area to be improved”. Thereby, for example, the location where the user requests improvement is clarified about the station and the vicinity of the station. In this case, if the question is further asked and the selection screen listing the contents of the improvement is prepared, the contents of the improvement request can be analyzed.
[0040]
Furthermore, a screen for asking various attribute information about the questionnaire subjects can be provided in advance. For example, gender. In addition, age groups such as “10's” and “20's” can be included in the questionnaire. In addition, the frequency of use of the station such as “day in week” can be included in the question. It is also possible to select the questionnaire subject's residence from the choices indicated by the residence name or the area block, or to display and select a large map including the vicinity of the station on the screen. Grouping is performed for each attribute information of such questionnaire subjects, and a questionnaire result (integrated value or various displays) can be output for each group. By doing so, the attributes of the questionnaire subjects and the questionnaire results can be combined, and a more detailed questionnaire analysis is possible.
[0041]
Moreover, the above-mentioned questionnaire can be carried out for facilities other than the station. A facility with many users, for example, a large-scale store facility, a facility such as a theme park, a tourist facility, a sports facility such as a stadium, or a facility such as a school. Moreover, other customer collection facilities may be sufficient.
[0042]
In addition, the questionnaire can be applied to other than positional information. For example, if you prepare the question “Please touch the route you use when going to work or school,” and use a touch panel switch as an input device, you can obtain the route used by the questionnaire subjects as data. it can. In this case, the CPU 41 extracts a route configured by combining the element map images P11 and the like in order from the earliest selection time order. For example, a route such as P11 → P12 →... (Hereinafter referred to as “selected route”). For this selected route, route identification information corresponding to one-to-one is given to the selected route and stored in the RAM 43. For example, there is a method in which a selected route is “selected route A” and another selected route is “selected route B”. And the result of the questionnaire by a plurality of questionnaire subjects is integrated with the result of route identification for each selected route, and the result is calculated. For example, an integrated value of the number of times a selected route is selected. By doing so, it is possible to aggregate the temporal order of selection of the element map images and conduct a questionnaire analysis.
[0043]
As described above, according to the area evaluation questionnaire information collection system 100 of the present embodiment, a questionnaire about an evaluation of a certain area is performed, the result is analyzed accurately and specifically, and the result is effectively displayed and displayed. It becomes possible to do.
