Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for providing information relating to garbage collection, and more particularly to a technique for providing garbage collection information in consideration of the time of garbage collection.

In general, the garbage collection mechanism varies depending on the region, and the type of garbage, the date of collection of garbage, etc. vary widely depending on the region. From the viewpoint of collecting trash, it is easier to understand that the date of trash collection and the type of trash collected on the collection date are shown in a form written on a calendar. Therefore, for example, as in Patent Document 1, a system that displays information related to the collection of garbage in a calendar format has been proposed.
JP 2006-178940 A

  However, even if the information on the date of collecting the garbage and the type of garbage collected on the date of collection are displayed in a calendar format, it is not satisfactory for the person who collects the garbage.

  Generally, garbage is collected once a day. For example, if the municipality collects combustible garbage and non-combustible garbage and entrusts collection of resource garbage to a contractor, the garbage collection time is collected. This is because, depending on the type of garbage, there is a possibility of missing a chance of collecting garbage unless information that considers the garbage collection time is displayed. In addition, when receiving collection information of an area that is not a residential area such as a moving destination, there is no way of knowing the collection time of the garbage, and it is inconvenient if there is no indication of the collection time of the garbage. Therefore, it cannot be said that the system of Patent Document 1 has practicality.

  Also, for example, when collecting garbage every other week or collecting garbage once a month, you can forget even if you view the garbage collection date in advance by displaying the information related to garbage collection in a calendar format. You may remember that it is the day of garbage collection at the time of garbage collection. In such a case, it is very convenient for the party who collects the garbage to obtain information on whether or not the garbage collection has already been completed.

  The garbage collection information providing system of the present invention includes a garbage collection information providing apparatus 10 that provides information related to garbage collection, and a terminal 20 that is used by a user to obtain desired information from the garbage collection information providing apparatus 10.

  The garbage collection information providing apparatus 10 includes a transmission / reception unit 11 that transmits / receives data to / from the terminal 20, a garbage collection information storage unit 12 that holds a database in which various types of information regarding garbage collection for each region are associated, and a terminal 20. And a data processing unit 13 that reads out data stored in the garbage collection information storage unit 12 and transmits the data to the terminal 20 in response to a request from.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the database stored in the garbage collection information storage unit 12 of the garbage collection information providing apparatus 10 includes garbage collection area information, garbage type information, garbage collection date information, collection end information, and special holiday information. Are associated with each other.

  The garbage collection area information is identification information for uniquely identifying the area classified by the garbage collection manager. In the following description, the garbage collection area information will be described using a name indicating the area classified by the garbage collection manager. However, the name is not limited to the name, and may be a number uniquely identifying the area, for example. good.

  The garbage type information is information for uniquely identifying the kind of garbage that the garbage collection administrator classifies the garbage based on a predetermined condition. For example, combustible garbage such as raw garbage is burned as combustible garbage or plastic. It is information on the type of garbage, such as non-combustible garbage that generates toxic substances and recyclable garbage such as bins and cans that are recyclable resources.

  In the garbage collection date information, information related to the garbage collection date determined for each region by the garbage collection manager is written. The garbage collection date information may be the date (year / month / day) of collecting garbage, the date of collecting garbage (month x day), or the day of the week for collecting garbage. This will be described using the case where the day of the week is written.

  The collection end information is the time of garbage collection for each area, and is a time set by a garbage manager or a general time when garbage collection in that area is performed.

  Special holiday information is provided to provide information on garbage collection in consideration of days when garbage collection is not performed, such as the end of the year and the beginning of the year. This is information indicating a date when no garbage is collected even if written as. The special holiday information may be specified for each region or for each garbage type, and is blank when no special holiday is specified.

  The terminal 20 is a PC (Personal Computer) or a portable terminal. The terminal 20 includes a transmitting / receiving unit 21 that transmits / receives data to / from the garbage collection information providing device 10, a data processing unit 22 that processes data transmitted from the garbage collection information providing device 10, and a display screen 23.

  Next, the operation of the dust collection information providing system of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the following description, the database shown in FIG. 2 will be used, and the case where dust collection information within one week is displayed will be described.

  The user selects a desired area using the terminal 20 in order to obtain garbage collection information of the desired area (step S101). As a method of selecting a region, the region may be selected by inputting a zip code or an address according to the screen as shown in FIG. 4, or from the map or the name of the region according to the screen as shown in FIG. A desired area may be selected.

  When the region is selected, the data processing unit 22 transmits the request information in which the region identification information for uniquely identifying the selected region is described through the transmission / reception unit 21 (step S102). In the description of this operation, it is assumed that area A is selected.

  When the data processing unit 13 of the garbage collection information providing device 10 receives the request information via the transmission / reception unit 11, the data processing unit 13 acquires the current date and time from the clock held by the garbage collection information providing device 10 itself.

  When the A area is searched from the garbage information storage unit 12, first, the special holiday information associated with the A area is read, and it is determined whether the special holiday read within one week from the acquired date is applicable. (Step S106). Here, it is determined that the special holiday “December 28 to January 3” does not correspond during the week from October 10, 2006 to October 16, 2006.

  The data processing unit 13 further reads out the garbage type information and the garbage collection date information associated with the A area, and confirms the garbage collection date information that falls within one week from the acquired date and the calculated day of the week. Display information is generated (step S107). Here, Tuesday, October 10, 2006 is combustible garbage, Thursday, October 12, 2006 is noncombustible garbage, Friday, October 13, 2006 is combustible garbage, and Sunday, October 15, 2006 is resource garbage. Display information to be generated is generated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S106 that the special holiday read within one week from the acquired date falls, the data processing unit 13 deletes it from the garbage collection date even if that day is the garbage collection date. Display information is generated (step S108).

  The data processing unit 13 determines whether or not the calculated day of the week is included in the retrieved collection date information. If included, the data processing unit 13 is associated with the collection day information including the calculated day of the week. The collection end information is read out and set as the acquired time (step S109). Here, Tuesday, which is the calculated day of the week, is included in the garbage collection information read out earlier, so that “8:00” and “10:10” associated with the garbage collection date information are displayed. Compare.

  As a result of the comparison, when the acquired time has passed the garbage collection time described in the garbage collection date information, information indicating that the garbage collection has ended is added to the display information (step S110). If it is determined as a result of the comparison that the collection of dust has not ended, the process proceeds to step S110. Here, information indicating that the collection of combustible waste on Tuesday, October 10, 2006 has been completed is added.

  The data processing unit 13 transmits the generated display information to the terminal 20 via the transmission / reception unit 11 (step S111).

  The data processing unit 22 displays the garbage collection information on the display screen 23 based on the display information received via the transmission / reception unit 21 (step S112). An example of the display screen at this time is shown in FIG.
