Description

  The present invention relates to facility management technology, and more particularly to facility management technology used when a plurality of rooms are shared by a plurality of users.

  In recent years, in office buildings, a so-called free address system in which a plurality of rooms are shared by unspecified users is being introduced for the purpose of effective use of facilities. The free address system is a facility usage mode in which a plurality of non-occupied seats that are not assigned to individual persons are provided in a room, and an employee uses a vacant seat among these seats to work.

  In such a facility use form, in practice, a plurality of rooms are allocated and used as free address rooms according to the user scale. For this reason, in order to avoid interference from others, users tend to select and use the rooms in the order of relatively vacant seats. Since there is almost no transfer to crowded room seats, vacant seats tend to occur in each room.

  On the other hand, in a relatively large facility such as an office building, environmental control devices such as air conditioners and lighting devices are individually provided for each room provided in the facility, and these are controlled by environmental control systems such as air conditioning systems and lighting systems. It is intended to be collectively controlled.

  Conventionally, in such an environmental control system, in order to achieve both energy saving and comfort, a human sensor is provided in each room, and if there is a person in the room, an air conditioner or lighting provided in the room is provided. Providing a comfortable environment by operating environmental control equipment such as equipment normally, and when there is no person in the room, operating the environmental control equipment such as air conditioning equipment and lighting equipment in the room at low load A control technique has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

The facility management system 1 executes the room entry operation of FIG. 5 when a room entry request operation is performed at the operation terminal 22 of an arbitrary room 20.

The operation terminal 22 accepts the user's entry request operation and transmits an entry request including a room ID unique to the room 20 set in advance to the control device 30 via the communication line L1 (step). 100).
The management device 40 receives the room entry request from the operation terminal 22 relayed and transferred by the control device 30 by the communication I / F unit 41 via the communication line L2, and executes room entry processing to be described later. The user's room entry destination is selected from the list (step 101).

Here, if the number of people in all the rooms 20 has reached the maximum capacity and there is no room 20 that can be entered, that is, there is no room to be entered (step 102: NO), the terminal control unit 47 of the management device 40 The communication I / F unit 41 transmits a room entry impossibility to the operation terminal 22 that has requested entry (step 103).
In response to the inability to enter the room from the management device 40 relayed and transferred by the control device 30, the operation terminal 22 notifies the user that there is no room to enter the room by means of a screen display or a voice message (step 104). ).

On the other hand, if there is a room entry destination in step 102 (step 102: YES), the terminal control unit 47 compares the room ID of the room entry destination with the room ID of the room of the operation terminal 22 that is the room entry request source. If the room entry destination is the same as the room of the operation terminal 22 that is the entry request source (step 110), and if the room entry destination is different from the room of the operation terminal 22 that is the entry request source (step 110: NO), The terminal control unit 47 transmits room entry information including the name of the room serving as the room entry destination from the communication I / F unit 41 to the operation terminal 22 that is the room entry request source (step 111).
The operation terminal 22 uses the fact that the entry destination is another room and the room name of the entry destination by using a screen display or a voice message according to the entry destination information from the management device 40 relayed and transferred by the control device 30. (Step 112).

  In step 110, when the room entry destination is the same as the room of the operation terminal 22 that is the room entry request source (step 110: YES), the terminal control unit 47 uses the usage status stored in the usage status storage unit 44B. Among them, the number of occupants is updated by adding 1 to the usage status of the room that is the room entry destination (step 120), and the operation terminal 22 that requested entry from the communication I / F unit 41. Is transmitted to the door control terminal 23 at the entry destination from the communication I / F unit 41 (step 122).

The operation terminal 22 notifies the user that the entry into the room 20 is permitted in accordance with the entry permission from the management apparatus 40 relayed and transferred by the control apparatus 30 through a screen display or a voice message ( Step 123).
Further, the door control terminal 23 permits the door to be opened by unlocking the door 21 in accordance with the entry permission from the management device 40 relayed and transferred by the control device 30 (step 124). As a result, the user enters the room 20 through the door 21.

Further, the terminal control unit 47 of the management device 40 transmits an environment control instruction including a room ID indicating a room entry destination from the communication I / F unit 41 to the environment control system 50 (step 130).

Available to:

[Entry processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the room entry process in the management apparatus 40 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a room entry process of the management device according to the first embodiment. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a room entry process of the management device according to the first embodiment.
Here, three rooms R1, R2, and R3 are provided as the room 20. Of these, the room R1 has the highest priority, the room R3 has the lowest priority, and the number of people in the room R1 is the largest. A case will be described as an example where a new user requests entry into the room R1 in a use situation where the number of persons has been reached and the room R1 cannot be entered.

The management device 40 executes the room entry process of FIG. 6 in step 111 of FIG.
First, when the determination unit 45 receives a room entry request transmitted from the operation terminal 22 in response to a room entry request operation via the communication I / F unit 41, the determination unit 45 uses each room Ri ( The maximum capacity Max (Ri) and the priority order Jun (Ri) of i = 1 to 3) are acquired (step 150), and each room Ri (i = 1 to 3) is determined from the usage status of the usage status storage unit 44B. ) Is acquired (step 151).

  Next, the determination unit 45 compares the maximum number of people Max (Ri) and the number of people in the room N (Ri) for each room Ri, and the rooms that can be entered satisfying Max (Ri)> N (Ri). That is, the room entry candidate Rc is confirmed (step 152).

When one or more entry destination candidates Rc satisfying Max (Ri)> N (Ri) are found (step 152: YES), the room selection unit 46 determines the priority order Jun (Rc) of these entry destination candidates Rc. Based on the above, the room with the highest priority among the room entry candidates Rc is selected as the room entry destination Rd (step 153), and the series of room entry processes is terminated.
On the other hand, when one entry destination candidate Rc is not found in step 152 (step 152: NO), the determination unit 45 determines that there is no entry destination (step 154), and ends a series of entry processing.

  In FIG. 7, since Max (R1) and N (R1) of room R1 are equal, room R1 is full. On the other hand, since N (R2) and N (R3) in the rooms R2 and R3 are both “0” (zero), Max (Ri)> N (Ri) is established, so that these R2 and R3 enter the room. It is selected as the previous candidate Rc. Here, of the rooms R2 and R3, Jun (R2) indicates the highest rank, and therefore the room R2 is selected as the room entry destination Rd.

[Effect of the first embodiment]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the room entry request is received, the determination unit 45 compares the maximum number of people in the room and the number of people in the room 20 for each room 20 to enter the room. In the room selection unit 46, the room selection unit 46 selects a room of the rooms 20 that is determined to be allowed to enter by the determination unit 45 and has the highest priority, and the terminal In the control unit 47, when this room entry destination is the same as the room of the operation terminal 22 that is the room entry request source, an entry permission is transmitted to the door control terminal 23 of the room, and the room entry destination is the operation requesting the room entry request source. If the room is different from the room of the terminal, the entry not allowed is transmitted to the operation terminal 22 so that the number of people in the room reaches the maximum capacity based on the priority of each room. , Guide users to each room Rukoto can.

  Therefore, even in a facility usage mode in which a plurality of rooms are shared by a plurality of users as in the free address system, the usage efficiency of each room by the user can be increased. For this reason, the use of low priority rooms will not start even if there are vacant seats in any room. The user is guided in preference to the low room, and the ratio of the low priority room becoming an empty room without a user increases.

  As a result, when an environmental control system that controls environmental control equipment such as air conditioning equipment and lighting equipment in each room according to the presence or absence of a person in the room is attached to the facility, an empty room is generated according to the present invention. Since the ratio can be increased, the environmental control device in the vacant room can be operated or stopped at a low load, and the energy consumption can be more effectively reduced.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, with reference to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the equipment management system concerning the 2nd Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing room entry processing of the management device according to the second embodiment, and the same or equivalent parts as those in FIG. 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a room entry process of the management device according to the second embodiment.

  In the first embodiment, the case where the number of users who wish to enter the room in the room entry process of the management apparatus has been described as an example. In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which a plurality of users who wish to enter the room simultaneously occur and these users desire to enter the same room. In addition, about the structure of the equipment monitoring system 1 concerning this Embodiment, it is the same as that of 1st Embodiment, and detailed description here is abbreviate | omitted.

At the time of the room entry request operation, the number of persons requested to enter Nin is input from the operation terminal 22 and notified to the management apparatus 40 by the room entry request.
When the determination unit 45 of the management device 40 receives the room entry request transmitted from the operation terminal 22 in response to the room entry request operation via the communication I / F unit 41, the determination unit 45 determines each room from the room information in the room information storage unit 44A. The maximum capacity Max (Ri) and priority order Jun (Ri) of Ri (i = 1 to 3) are acquired (step 150), and each room Ri (i = 1) is determined from the usage status of the usage status storage unit 44B. The number of occupants N (Ri) of -3) is acquired (step 151). Further, the determination unit 45 acquires the number Nin of requested entry from the entry request (step 200).

  Next, the determination unit 45 compares, for each room Ri, the difference between the maximum number of people Max (Ri) and the number of people in the room N (Ri) and the number of people requested to enter Nin, and Max (Ri) −N ( Ri) ≧ Nin, a room that can be entered, that is, a room entry candidate Rc is confirmed (step 201).

Here, when one or more entry destination candidates Rc satisfying Max (Ri) −N (Ri) ≧ Nin are found (step 201: YES), the room selection unit 46 determines the priority order Jun ( Based on Rc), the room with the highest priority among the room entry candidates Rc is selected as the room entry Rd (step 153), and the series of room entry processing is terminated.
On the other hand, in step 201, when one room entry candidate Rc is not found (step 201: NO), the determination unit 45 determines that there is no room entry (step 154), and ends a series of room entry processes.

  In FIG. 9, since Max (Ri) -N (Ri) in room R1 is “2” and Nin is “3”, all users cannot be seated in room R1. On the other hand, N (R2) and N (R3) in the rooms R2 and R3 are both “0” (zero), and Max (Ri) −N (Ri) ≧ Nin holds, so these R2 and R3 enter the room. It is selected as the previous candidate Rc. Here, of the rooms R2 and R3, Jun (R2) indicates the highest rank, and therefore the room R2 is selected as the room entry destination Rd.

[Effect of the second embodiment]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, whether or not the determination unit 45 can enter the room depends on whether or not the difference between the maximum number of people and the number of people in the room is greater than or equal to the number of people requested to enter the room. Even if multiple users who want to enter the room are generated at the same time, and these users want to enter the same room, the people in the room based on the priority of each room Users can be guided to each room so that the number reaches the maximum capacity.
Therefore, even in a facility usage mode in which a plurality of rooms are shared by a plurality of users as in the free address system, the usage efficiency of each room by the user can be increased.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, with reference to FIG. 10, the equipment management system concerning the 3rd Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 10 is a sequence diagram illustrating the leaving operation of the facility management system according to the third embodiment.
Here, a case will be described in which when a user leaves a room 20, the user who is in the room is guided to another room in the room.

  In the present embodiment, the operation terminal 22 has a function of accepting an exit request operation of a user who wishes to leave the room 20 and a function specific to the room 20 set in advance in accordance with the exit request operation. A function of transmitting a room exit request including a room ID to the management device 40 via the communication line L1 and the control device 30, and an instruction notified from the management device 40 via the communication line L1 and the control device 30; It has a function of notifying the user of instruction contents such as an exit instruction.

  The door control terminal 23 has a function of permitting opening of the door 21 by unlocking / locking the door 21 in accordance with the exit permission received from the management device 40 via the communication line L1 and the control device 30. . Note that the door control terminal 23 is always locked, and only when a leave permission is notified, unlocks the door for a predetermined period and permits the door to be opened. At this time, in addition to unlocking, the door 21 may be instructed to open the door.

  When a user who is present in one of the rooms 20 leaves the room 20, the management device 40 allows a user who is present in any room 20 among these rooms 20 to be transferred to another room 20 in the room 20. Has the function of guiding to

  When the determination unit 45 receives the exit request transmitted from the operation terminal 22 in response to the exit request operation via the communication I / F unit 41, the determination unit 45 determines the room 20 based on the room information and the usage status of each room 20. Of these, the room in which the user is present is divided into a source room and a destination candidate consisting of a room other than the source, and the target room is moved to one or more of these destination candidates. It has a function of determining whether all users who are present in the room can move.

  The room selection unit 46 compares the maximum number of people in the room with the number of people in the room for each destination candidate when the determination unit 45 determines that the room can be moved when the leaving request is made. The function of selecting one or more rooms that can accommodate all of the users present in the movement source as the movement destination is provided.

When the terminal control unit 47 receives an exit request, the terminal control unit 47 transmits an exit permission to the door control terminal 23 in the room of the operation terminal 22 that is the exit request source. It has a function of transmitting an exit instruction to the original operation terminal 22 and a function of transmitting an environment control instruction to the environment control system 50 at the time of leaving permission transmission.
Among the equipment management system 1 and the management device 40 according to the present embodiment, the other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof is omitted here.

[Operation of Third Embodiment]
Next, with reference to FIG. 10, operation | movement of the equipment management system 1 concerning this Embodiment is demonstrated.
The facility management system 1 executes the exit operation of FIG. 10 when an exit request operation is performed at the operation terminal 22 of an arbitrary room 20.

The operation terminal 22 accepts the user's request for leaving the room, and sends a room leaving request including a room ID unique to the room 20 set in advance to the control device 30 via the communication line L1 (step). 300).
The management device 40 receives the exit request from the operation terminal 22 relayed by the control device 30 by the communication I / F unit 41 via the communication line L2, and the terminal control unit 47 of the management device 40 Of the usage statuses stored in the storage unit 44B, the usage status of the room that is the room exit request source is updated by subtracting 1 from the number of occupants (step 301).

Further, the terminal control unit 47 transmits a leave permission to the operation requesting terminal 22 from the communication I / F unit 41 (step 302), and the door control terminal from the communication I / F unit 41 as the leaving request source. A leave permission is transmitted to 23 (step 303).
The operation terminal 22 notifies the user that the user is allowed to leave the room 20 through a screen display or a voice message in response to the leave permission from the management device 40 relayed by the control device 30 ( Step 304).

Further, the door control terminal 23 permits the door opening by unlocking the door 21 in response to the leaving permission from the management device 40 relayed and transferred by the control device 30 (step 305).
As a result, the user can leave the room 20 by passing through the door 21.

Moreover, the management apparatus 40 confirms whether the user who is occupying the arbitrary room 20 in the room 20 can be moved to the other room 20 in the room 20 by executing a leaving process described later. (Step 310).
Here, when there is no room to be moved and the room cannot be moved, a series of leaving operations is terminated.

On the other hand, when a room to be moved exists and the room can be moved (step 311: YES), the terminal control unit 47 leaves the communication terminal 41 from the communication I / F unit 41 to the operation terminal 22 that is the movement source. An instruction is transmitted (step 312).
In response to the exit instruction from the management apparatus 40 relayed and transferred by the control apparatus 30, the operation terminal 22 notifies the user of the movement from the room 20 to another room through a screen display or a voice message. (Step 313). At this time, the destination selected in the leaving process may be notified to the operation terminal 22 by a leaving instruction, and the user may be notified from the operation terminal 22 to the user.

As a result, the user who is present at the movement source performs a leaving request operation on the operation terminal 22 of the movement source, leaves the movement source, and performs a room entry request operation on the operation terminal 22 of the movement destination, thereby moving the movement source. Will enter the room.
The above-described operations may be executed for the leaving operation and the entering operation in the facility management system 1 in the leaving and entering the room. When the time required for movement between these rooms is short, the terminal control unit 47 transmits a leave permission and a room permission to the movement source and movement destination door control terminals 23, thereby moving the movement source and the movement destination. The door may be unlocked. Thereby, it can move between rooms, without requiring a user's operation.

Further, the terminal control unit 47 of the management device 40 transmits an environment control instruction including a room ID indicating a room entry destination from the communication I / F unit 41 to the environment control system 50 (step 320).
The environment control system 50 controls the environment control device 24 in the room 20 corresponding to the room ID included in the environment control instruction in accordance with the environment control instruction from the management device 40 received via the communication line L2. The indoor environment of the room 20 such as air conditioning and lighting is controlled (step 321).

Therefore, if the use end of the movement source is notified by the environment control instruction, the environment control system 50 can control the environment control equipment such as air conditioner and lighting without requiring user operation on the environment control equipment at the movement source. The operation is automatically controlled to a low load operation or a stopped state. Thereby, since the indoor environment of the movement source deteriorates, the user who is present in the movement source is forced to move to another room, and in comparison with the case where only the user is notified from the operation terminal 22, Movement to another room can be facilitated. In particular, further promotion may be performed by stopping cooling at the cooling operation time, stopping heating at the heating operation time, and turning off or blinking the lighting device.
Further, if the number of occupants at the destination is notified by the environment control instruction, the environment control system 50 can grasp the number of heat sources in the room based on the number of occupants, and an operation for providing a comfortable indoor environment Available to:

[Leave processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the leaving process in the management apparatus 40 is demonstrated. FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a leaving process of the management device according to the third embodiment. FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the leaving process of the management device according to the third embodiment.
Here, three rooms R1, R2, and R3 are provided as the room 20, and among these, the priority of the room R1 is the highest, the priority of the room R3 is the lowest, and according to the user leaving the room R1. An example of guiding a user in the room R3 to the arrows R1 and R2 will be described.

In step 310 of FIG. 10, the management device 40 executes the leaving process of FIG.
First, when the determination unit 45 receives the exit request transmitted from the operation terminal 22 in response to the exit request operation via the communication I / F unit 41, the determination unit 45 determines each room Ri (from the room information in the room information storage unit 44A). The maximum capacity Max (Ri) and the priority order Jun (Ri) of i = 1 to 3) are acquired (step 350), and each room Ri (i = 1 to 3) is determined from the usage status of the usage status storage unit 44B. ) Is acquired (step 351).

Next, for each room Ri, the determination unit 45 subtracts the number of occupants N (Ri) from the maximum number of persons Max (Ri), thereby indicating the number of persons that can be accommodated in the room Ri. M (Ri) is calculated (step 352).
In addition, the determination unit 45 selects a room where the number of occupants N (Ri)> 0 among the rooms Ri as the occupancy room Rn where the user exists (step 353), and the occupancy room Rn The room with the lowest priority Jnu (Rn) is selected as the movement source Rs (step 354), and the room other than the movement source Rs is selected as the movement destination candidate Rc (step 355).

  Thereafter, the determination unit 45 calculates the total capacity Msum that indicates the number of users that can be accommodated by all the destination candidates Rc by summing the maximum number of persons M (Rc) that can be accommodated by each destination candidate Rc (step S40). 356), by comparing this total number Msum that can be accommodated with the number of occupants present in the source Rs, that is, the number of people N (Rs), it is determined whether or not all users occupying the source Rs can be moved. (Step 357).

Here, when Msum ≧ N (Rs) and all the users in the movement source Rs can move (step 357: YES), the room selection unit 46 can accommodate these movement destination candidates Rc. A room with the number of persons M (Rc)> 0 is selected as the destination Rd (step 358), and a series of exit processing is completed.
On the other hand, in step 357, if Msum <N (Rs) and all the users present in the movement source Rs cannot move (step 357: NO), the determination unit 45 determines that there is no movement destination. (Step 359), a series of room entry processing is completed.

  In FIG. 12, since N (R1), N (R2), and N (R3) in rooms R1, R2, and R3 are all greater than “0” (zero), all of R1, R2, and R3 are in the occupancy room Rn. Among them, Jun (R3) indicates the lowest order, so that R3 is selected as the movement source Rs, and R1 and R2 are selected as the movement destination candidates Rc. Thereafter, Msum is calculated for the destination candidate Rc, and Msum ≧ N (R3) is established, so that it is determined that all occupants in R3 can move to R1 and R2. Here, since both M (R1) and M (R2) are larger than “0” (zero), these R1 and R2 are selected as the destination Rd.

[Effect of the third embodiment]
As described above, in the present embodiment, when the leaving request is received, in the determination unit 45, the occupancy room in which the user is occupying among the rooms 20 is the room that is the movement source and the room other than the movement source. It is divided into movement destination candidates consisting of rooms, and it is determined whether or not all the users in the movement source can move to one or more of these movement destination candidates. At that time, the room selection unit 46 compares the maximum number of people in the room and the number of people in the room for each destination candidate, so that the user who is present in the source from the destination candidates. Since one or more rooms that can accommodate all of the above are selected as movement destinations and the terminal control unit 47 transmits an exit instruction to the operation terminal 22 that is the movement source, the user in any room 20 In any room of room 20 when It is possible to induce the user to to other rooms of the room 20.

  Therefore, even in a facility usage mode in which a plurality of rooms are shared by a plurality of users as in the free address system, the usage efficiency of each room by the user can be increased. For this reason, even though there are enough vacancies in the room with higher priority, the use of the room with lower priority will not be continued. As a result, the proportion of low-priority rooms becoming vacant rooms without users increases.

  As a result, when an environmental control system that controls environmental control equipment such as air conditioning equipment and lighting equipment in each room according to the presence or absence of a person in the room is attached to the facility, an empty room is generated according to the present invention. Since the ratio can be increased, the environmental control device in the vacant room can be operated or stopped at a low load, and the energy consumption can be more effectively reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the determination unit 45 calculates the total number of accommodations that can be accommodated in the entire room of the destination candidate from the maximum accommodation number and the number of occupants of the destination candidate, and this accommodation possibility By comparing the total number and the number of occupants at the movement source to determine whether or not the movement source can move to the movement destination candidate, the movement source occupants can be accommodated at a plurality of movement destinations. This increases the probability of movement. For this reason, the utilization efficiency of each room by a user can be improved more.

[Fourth Embodiment]
Next, a fourth embodiment according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the leaving process of the management device according to the fourth embodiment.

  In the third embodiment, the case where the destination is composed of one or more rooms has been described as an example. In the present embodiment, a case where the destination is composed of one room will be described as an example. In addition, about the structure of the equipment monitoring system 1 concerning this Embodiment, it is the same as that of 1st Embodiment, and detailed description here is abbreviate | omitted.

  In step 355 of FIG. 13, after selecting a room other than the movement source Rs in the occupancy room Rn as the movement destination candidate Rc, the determination unit 45 determines the number of persons M (Rc) that can be accommodated for each movement destination candidate Rc. Is compared with the number of people occupying the movement source Rs, that is, the number of movements N (Rs), so that all the users occupying the movement source Rs are moved to any one of the movement destination candidates Rc. It is determined whether or not it is possible (step 400).

Here, when M (Rn) ≧ N (Rs) is satisfied and one or more transfer destinations Rc that can accommodate all the users present in the transfer source Rs are found (step 400: YES), the room is selected. The unit 46 selects a room having the highest priority Jun (Rc) among these destination candidates Rc as the destination Rd (step 401), and ends the series of exit processing.
On the other hand, in step 400, when M (Rn) <N (Rs) and the movement candidate destination Rc that can accommodate all the users present in the movement source Rs is not found (step 400: NO), the determination unit 45 determines that there is no destination (step 359), and ends the series of entry processing.

  In FIG. 14, since N (R1), N (R2), and N (R3) in rooms R1, R2, and R3 are all greater than “0” (zero), all of R1, R2, and R3 are in the occupancy room Rn. Among them, Jun (R3) indicates the lowest order, so that R3 is selected as the movement source Rs, and R1 and R2 are selected as the movement destination candidates Rc. Thereafter, M (Rc) and N (R3) are compared for each destination candidate Rc, and M (R1) ≧ N (R3) is established, so that all the occupants in R3 can move to R1. Determined.

[Effect of the fourth embodiment]
Thus, in the present embodiment, the determination unit 45 calculates, for each destination candidate, the number of people that can be accommodated in the room from the difference between the maximum number of people in the room and the number of people in the room, By comparing the number of people that can be accommodated with the number of occupants at the source, it is determined whether or not all the users at the source can move to any one of the destination candidates. Since all the occupants at the movement source can be guided to one movement destination at a time. Thereby, since the room of a movement destination is specified as one, it becomes possible to guide a user to a movement destination smoothly.

[Fifth Embodiment]
Next, a facility management system according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment, when the determination unit 45 selects the movement source Rs, the room Rn having the lowest priority Jun (Rn) is selected as the movement source Rs. Although the case where it does is demonstrated, you may select the room with few occupant number N (Rn) among occupancy rooms Rn as movement origin Rs.

Thereby, the number of moving persons can be reduced, and the probability of movement increases. For this reason, the utilization efficiency of each room by a user can be improved more.
At this time, all the rooms in the occupancy room Rn other than the movement source Rs may be selected as the movement destination candidates Rc, and the room in the occupancy room Rn having a higher priority than the movement source Rs is selected as the movement destination candidate Rc. May be.
