A function for sending out the weather information to the control means 6, and when the outdoor environment information search request information is received from the control means 6, the outdoor environment information in consideration of the location information included in the information is sent to the weather forecast information provider company. A function of receiving from the server 8 and sending it to the control means 6.

  The control means 6 starts the operation when receiving the trigger information from the outing information acquisition means 1, and acquires the outdoor environment information sent from the outside environment information acquisition means 4 and the user ID information and physical information obtained from the individual identification means 2. A function of proposing an optimal clothing item from physical information such as body surface temperature received from the means 3 and outdoor environment information received from the external environment information acquisition means 4 is provided.

  FIG. 3 shows a flow chart of the clothing item proposal process. Next, the operation of the control means 4 will be briefly described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  The control means 6 starts the operation upon receiving the trigger information from the outing information acquisition means 1 (step ST1), receives outdoor environment information from the external environment information acquisition means 4 in step ST2, and further uses it from the individual identification means 2 in step ST3. In step ST4, the user's body temperature information is received from the physical information acquisition means 3, and the outdoor environment information considering the user's home is received from the external environment information acquisition means 4 in step ST4.

  In the next step ST5, when the destination information is checked from the going-out acquisition information means 4 and the destination information is acquired, the retrieval information of the outdoor environment information corresponding to the destination information is sent to the outside environment information acquisition means 4 in step ST6. In step ST7, the outdoor environment information is received from the external environment information acquisition unit 4.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the court is necessary, but it is performed using the outside air temperature information in the received outdoor environment information.

  First, in step ST8, an outside air temperature threshold value that requires a coat set in advance based on the user's physical information is set, and in the next steps ST9 and ST10, the necessity / unnecessity of the coat is determined from the outside air temperature information and the threshold value.

  If it is determined that a coat is necessary, the control means 6 sends a court search request to the clothing management apparatus 10 in step ST11, receives the user's owned court information from the clothing management apparatus 8 in step ST12, and receives the user's court information. The owned court information is sent to the notification device 7 (step ST13).

  When it is determined in step ST10 that a court is unnecessary, and after the processing in step ST13 is completed, the user's body information, outdoor environment information, and court necessity information are sent to the notification device 7 (step ST14).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, a court proposal that matches the physical condition of the user can be performed by setting the outside air temperature threshold value based on the received physical information of the user.

  For example, when a threshold value is set for the body surface temperature in the body information and the body surface temperature of the user exceeds the threshold value, it is assumed that there is heat, and the outside air temperature threshold value is increased by a temperature set in advance for each user. By doing so, it is possible to propose a coat even at an outside temperature where it is not necessary to wear a coat during normal times such as a cold. In the embodiment, the outside air temperature threshold is controlled using the body surface temperature. However, a blood pressure monitor is installed at the entrance, and when the measured blood pressure value shows an abnormal value, the outside air temperature threshold is increased. good.

  Table 1 shows an example of setting the outside air temperature threshold.

  For example, the necessity of clothing items such as gloves and mufflers other than the coat may be determined.

  Here, the clothing management apparatus 8 used in the present embodiment will be briefly described with reference to FIG. The clothing management device 10 is provided in the closet 11 as shown in the figure, and the user standing in front of the closet 11 is imaged by the imaging camera 80 via the half mirror 100, and the image data is captured by the user M using the image processing device 101. Images of clothes and clothing-related items that are carried or worn, and information on ID tags attached to clothes and clothing-related products is read by the reader / writer device 103 to display clothes and clothing While specifying the clothing item which consists of related goods, the user M is specified, and these extraction images, clothing item information, and user information are registered into a database with the external temperature information obtained from the external environment information acquisition means 4. In response to an external search request from the image processing unit 101 and the database, a clothing item that meets the search condition is searched, and the search result is a code When the court search request is sent together with the user ID from the entrance system of the present invention, the user registered in the database, for example, is provided. The coat image information and the frequency information worn in combination with the clothes currently worn by the user are returned to the entrance system. If the outside temperature is included in the search request condition, it is possible to propose a coat with a more optimal condition if the coat that the user was wearing at the outside temperature close to the outside temperature is extracted. . At this time, frequency information worn in combination with clothes currently worn by the user is also transmitted to the control means 6.

  In the present embodiment, whether or not an “umbrella” is necessary is determined based on the rainfall probability information in the outdoor environment information and presented to the user. FIG. 5 shows a flowchart for determining whether or not the “umbrella” is necessary. The operation of determining whether or not “umbrella” is necessary by the control means 6 will be briefly described with reference to this flowchart. First, when receiving the trigger information from the outing information acquisition unit 1, the control unit 6 starts its operation (step ST1), and receives outdoor environment information considering the location of the user's home from the external environment information acquisition unit 4 (step ST2). Further, in step ST3, it is checked whether the outing information acquisition unit 1 has acquired destination information. If the destination information has been acquired, the control unit 6 sends the outdoor environment information corresponding to the destination information to the external environment information acquisition unit 4. Is sent (step ST4), and the corresponding information is received (step ST5). In the next step ST6, the control means 6 determines whether or not the “umbrella” is necessary using the precipitation probability information in the outdoor environment information and the preset precipitation probability threshold, and the precipitation probability is determined from the precipitation probability threshold. If it is high, it is determined that an “umbrella” is necessary, and conversely, if the precipitation probability is lower than the precipitation probability threshold, it is determined that the “umbrella” is unnecessary. Then, the necessity information of “umbrella” based on the determination is sent to the notification device 7 (step ST7), and the necessity determination process of “umbrella” is ended.

  FIGS. 6 and 7 show display examples on the display DS of the notification device 7. In the example shown in FIG. 6, outdoor environment information, “unnecessary” information on “umbrella”, physical information of the user, and unnecessary information on the court Is displayed on the display DS. When a link to “owned court information browsing page” at the bottom of this screen is clicked with a mouse or the like, the screen transits to the owned court information browsing page of FIG. That is, the notification device 7 has a GUI function and an image display function under the control of the control means 6.

  The possessed court information browsing page shown in FIG. 6 displays the possessed court image of the user, the number of times of wearing with the currently worn clothes, and the like. Clicking on the "Go to main page" link at the bottom of this screen takes you to the main page in FIG.

  Note that the notification device 7 also has a function of notifying an unnecessary message of an umbrella and an unnecessary message of a court from the speaker SP.

  Thus, in the entrance system of the present embodiment, the necessity of the coat can be notified when the user goes out based on the outdoor environment information acquired at the entrance En. When the temperature is low, it is possible to go out without wearing a coat, and to find out that it has been forgotten to return to the house and prepare again. Furthermore, since the physical information of the user can be obtained at the entrance En, and clothing items can be proposed based on the information and the outdoor environment information, the user can select clothes suitable for the physical condition when going out, The possibility of losing physical condition due to a mismatch of clothing items can be reduced. Furthermore, since it is possible to display the image information of the user's owned clothing at the entrance En and the usage frequency information of the clothing item used together with the currently worn clothing, the user owns the item without having to take out the clothing item directly. You can select an item to use today.

  In addition, it is possible to notify the necessity of the umbrella when the user goes out based on the outdoor environment information acquired at the entrance En, so when the user goes out, forget to carry the umbrella when the probability of rain is high Less.

  In addition, when including information on whether or not hay fever is included as physical information, the following proposal may be made.

  That is, when the information that the user (for example, father) has severe hay fever is input by the physical information acquisition means 3 and the father tries to go out from the information of the outing information acquisition means 1 and the personal identification means 2, the control is performed. The means 6 wears a mask (mobile) based on today's weather forecast information acquired by the external environment information acquisition means 4 (information that influences the amount of pollen scattering such as sunny and rainy) or pollen scattering amount information (pollen information). The threshold value of the amount of splattering that determines whether it is necessary is set low, and for users with mild hay fever (for example, mother), processing is performed to increase the threshold value. If it has been acquired, it may be suggested to wear a mask (mobile).
