  The sensor installation location storage unit 13 stores a sensor table including attribute information on the spaces of various sensors installed in the house 1. For example, a sensor table as shown in FIG. 3 is stored in the sensor installation location storage unit 13. In the sensor table, a sensor name, an installation location, a sensor type, and a distance to the information display device 10 are associated and stored. This sensor table is created and stored by an installation worker of the information display device 10 when the house 1 is constructed.

  The sensor information acquisition unit 15 is connected to the sensors (1) to (7) installed in the house 1. The sensor information acquisition unit 15 is supplied with a sensor signal from the human sensor when the human sensor detects the presence and operation of the person. Further, when the impact sensor detects an impact, the sensor information acquisition unit 15 is supplied with a sensor signal from the impact sensor. Here, the impact sensor (7) outputs a sensor signal when the impact of the south window is detected. However, since the impact of the south window occurs due to human behavior, the impact sensor (7) also functions as a sensor that detects human motion.

  The time management unit 14 keeps the current time. The time management unit 14 acquires the current time to the sensor information acquisition unit 15 in response to a request from the sensor information acquisition unit 15.

  The sensor information storage unit 16 stores the sensor name and the detection time in response to the sensor signal acquired by the sensor information acquisition unit 15. When the sensor information acquisition unit 15 acquires the sensor signal, the sensor information acquisition unit 15 acquires the name of the sensor that has output the sensor signal based on the identifier included in the sensor signal, and the current time managed by the time management unit 14 is obtained. get. Thereby, the sensor information storage part 16 can accumulate | store the sensor name and detection time supplied from the sensor information acquisition part 15 along a time-axis.

When the visitor button 41b is pressed, the information display device 10 displays visitor history information. When the power consumption button 41c is pressed, the information display apparatus 10 displays power consumption history information. When the message memo button 41d is pressed, the information display device 10 displays information about the message memo recorded via a telephone, an intercom, or the like. When the weather forecast button 41e is pressed, the information display device 10 displays information related to the future weather. Information displayed in response to the pressing of these buttons is acquired in advance by the information display device 10 by communicating with a sensor, a lock device, an intercom device, an electrical device, and a Web browser in the house 1.

  When the user interface for elderly people is selected, a menu screen as shown in FIG. 5, for example, is displayed on the display 33 of the information display device 10 as a user interface. This menu screen includes, for example, a family contact (1) button 42a, a hospital contact (1) button 41b, and a call button 42c. In addition, the elderly user interface has a larger character size than the user interfaces shown in FIGS. These buttons can detect the pressing operation of the user P by a touch panel mechanism built in the display 33.

  When the family contact (1) button 42a is pressed, the information display device 10 performs an operation of making a call to a family mobile phone registered in advance as a number (1), for example, and makes a call via the microphone 34 and the speaker 32. Make it possible. When the hospital contact (1) button 42b is pressed, the information display device 10 performs an operation of sending a call to a hospital registered in advance as a number (1), for example, so that a call can be made via the microphone 34. When the call button 42c is pressed, the information display device 10 performs an operation of calling a family in the house 1 by emitting sound from the speaker 32.

  When the security-related user interface is selected, a menu screen as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display 33 of the information display device 10 as a user interface, for example. This menu screen includes, for example, a fire notification button 43a, a breaker OFF button 43b, a sprinkler button 43c, an intrusion notification button 43d, a smoke discharge button 43e, and other buttons 43f. These buttons can detect the pressing operation of the user P by a touch panel mechanism built in the display 33.

  When the fire notification button 43a is pressed, the information display device 10 performs an operation of transmitting to a previously registered fire notification destination. When the breaker OFF button 43b is pressed, the information display device 10 performs control to turn off the breaker in the house 1. When the sprinkler button 43c is pressed, the information display device 10 performs control to activate the sprinkler in the house 1. When the intrusion notification button 43d is pressed, the information display device 10 performs an operation of making a call to a number registered in advance as an intrusion notification destination. When the smoke discharge button 43e is pressed, the information display device 10 performs control to open the smoke discharge port in the house 1. When the other button 43f is pressed, the information display device 10 displays a menu screen including other menu items.

  In such an information presentation system, the system control unit 11 operates according to a processing procedure as shown in FIG.

  First, in step S <b> 101, the system control unit 11 acquires the latest stored information from the sensor information storage unit 16. For example, as shown in FIG. 8 and the like, new information is accumulated in the sensor information storage unit 16 from the upper level to the lower level.

  In the next step S102, the system control unit 11 determines whether or not the latest stored information acquired in step S101 is detected by the human sensor (1). If it is detected by the human sensor (1), the process proceeds to step S103, and if not, the process proceeds to step S111.

  In step S <b> 103, the system control unit 11 acquires information obtained by the second most recent human sensor from the sensor information storage unit 16.

  In the next step S104, the system control unit 11 compares the latest sensor name and detection time acquired in step S101 with the second newest sensor name and detection time acquired in step S103, Find the time interval and the distance between the sensors. Then, the system control unit 11 calculates the moving speed of the user P from the both time intervals and the distance between the sensors.

  In the next step S105, the system control unit 11 determines whether or not the moving speed of the user P calculated in step S104 is 2.5 Km / h or less. If the moving speed of the user P is 2.5 Km / h or less, the process proceeds to step S106, and if not, the process proceeds to step S107. Note that the value of 2.5 km is merely an example, and may be a value that can determine whether or not an elderly person, as will be described later.

  In step S107, the system control unit 11 determines whether or not the moving speed of the user P calculated in step S104 is 5 Km / h or more. If the moving speed of the user P is 5 Km / h or more, the process proceeds to step S108, and if not, the process proceeds to step S109. Note that the value of 5 km is merely an example, and may be a value that can determine whether it is an emergency or a normal state, as will be described later.

  In step S106, the system control unit 11 determines that the user P is an elderly person, and selects a user interface for the elderly person.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the sensor name and the detection time are recorded in the sensor information storage unit 16, the time required to move from the human sensor (2) to the human sensor (1) is 3 Second. Further, the distance from the sensor installation location storage unit 13 to the human sensor (2) and the human sensor (1) is 2 meters. Thereby, the system control part 11 can judge that the moving speed of the user P is 2.4 km / h. Thereby, determination of step S105 becomes affirmation determination and the system control part 11 can select the user interface for elderly people. As shown in FIG. 9, the user interface changing unit 22 controls the user interface display unit 21 to switch the user interface displayed on the display 33 to the elderly user interface.

  In step S108, the system control unit 11 determines that an abnormal situation has occurred, and selects a security-related user interface.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when the sensor name and the detection time are recorded in the sensor information storage unit 16, the time required to move from the human sensor (2) to the human sensor (1) is 1 Second. Further, the distance from the sensor installation location storage unit 13 to the human sensor (2) and the human sensor (1) is 2 meters. Thereby, the system control part 11 can judge that the moving speed of the user P is 7 km / h. In this case, the determination in step S107 is an affirmative determination, and the system control unit 11 can select a security-related user interface. As shown in FIG. 11, the user interface changing unit 22 controls the user interface display unit 21 to switch the user interface displayed on the display 33 to the security related user interface.

  In step S109, the system control unit 11 selects a standard user interface. Thus, the system control unit 11 can determine that the user P is in a standard state when the moving speed of the user P is within a normal range.

  In the next step S110, the system control unit 11 displays the user interface selected in any of step S106, step S108, or step S109.

  On the other hand, in step S111 after a negative determination is made in step S102, the system control unit 11 determines whether or not the detection is performed by the impact sensor (4). If it is detected by the impact sensor (4), the process proceeds to step S112. If not, the process ends. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, when the sensor information acquisition part 15 inputs the sensor signal from an impact sensor (4), determination of step S111 becomes affirmation determination.

  In step S <b> 112, the system control unit 11 acquires the last stored human sensor storage information from the sensor information storage unit 16. In the case of FIG. 12, the system control unit 11 can acquire the sensor name of the human sensor (7) as the last recorded information.

  In next step S <b> 113, the system control unit 11 acquires the distance between the human sensor acquired in step S <b> 112 and the information display device 10 from the sensor installation location storage unit 13. In the case of FIG. 12, the system control unit 11 can acquire the distance between the human sensor (7) and the information display device 10 as 4 meters.

  In the next step S114, the system control unit 11 determines whether or not the distance between the human sensor acquired in step S113 and the information display device 10 is 4 meters or more. If the distance is 4 meters or more, the process proceeds to step S115, and if not, the process proceeds to step S116. Note that the value of 4 meters is merely an example, and may be a value that can determine whether or not it is necessary to notify the user P by increasing the volume, as will be described later.

  In step S116, the system control unit 11 determines whether the distance between the human sensor acquired in step S113 and the information display device 10 is 2 meters or more. If the distance is 2 meters or more, the process proceeds to step S117, and if not, the process proceeds to step S118. Note that the value of 2 meters is merely an example, and may be a value that can determine whether or not it is necessary to notify the user P with the sound volume being medium or low as described later.

  In step S <b> 115, the system control unit 11 sets the volume of sound output from the information display device 10 to “high”.

  In step S117, the system control unit 11 sets the sound volume emitted from the information display device 10 to “medium”.

  In step S <b> 118, the system control unit 11 sets the sound volume emitted from the information display device 10 to “low”.

  In step S119, the system control unit 11 generates a warning sound according to the volume selected in any of step S115, step S117, or step S118. The warning sound includes, for example, “An error has occurred in the window”. In the case of FIG. 12, the system control unit 11 can notify the sound generation unit 23 that the volume is “high”.

  Thereby, when the information display apparatus 10 detects that the south window is broken by an intruder or the like and the impact sensor (4) is activated, the information presentation system is set at a distance from the information display apparatus 10 to the user P. A warning sound can be generated at a corresponding volume.

  As described above, according to the information presentation system shown as the first embodiment, a plurality of sensor signals detected by a plurality of sensors are acquired and displayed by the interface unit based on the combination of the plurality of sensor signals. The form and / or the sound output form is changed. Thus, according to the information presentation system, when the user P performs an input operation on the operation input unit 24 of the information display device 10 in order to obtain information, the user interface is changed based on the action of the user P. Can be changed. Therefore, according to this information presentation system, even in a simple and inexpensive system configuration in which a combination of sensor signals detected by a plurality of human sensors is analyzed, information according to the situation of the user P can be effectively obtained. Can be presented.

  Moreover, according to this information presentation system, the time information which acquired each sensor signal is acquired, and based on the combination of the time information of each sensor signal, it is based on a user interface part (user interface display part 21, voice generation part 23). The display form and / or the sound output form can be changed. That is, the information presentation system can determine whether or not the user P is in a hurry according to the combination of the time information at which the sensor signal is acquired, and can estimate the situation and age of the user P. A user interface can be provided according to

  Furthermore, according to this information presentation system, the volume is changed based on the attribute information of the space of the sensor that has output the sensor signal. For example, when the user interface is for a visually impaired person, The volume can be adjusted according to the position. Moreover, even when notifying the resident of an intruder from the outside, the volume can be adjusted according to the distance between the position of the intruder and the resident.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, an information presentation system according to the second embodiment will be described. In addition, about the part similar to the above-mentioned 1st Embodiment, the detailed description is abbreviate | omitted by attaching | subjecting the same code | symbol.

  The information display device 10 in the information presentation system shown as the second embodiment has a functional configuration as shown in FIG. 13, for example. The information display device 10 includes a sensor sequence menu candidate storage unit 51 as compared with the information display device 10 in the first embodiment.

  This information presentation system stores the sensor table shown in FIG. 14 in the sensor installation location storage unit 13 in the system configuration shown in FIG. In this sensor table, a sensor name, an installation location, and a sensor type are stored in association with each other. This sensor table is created and stored by an installation worker of the information display device 10 when the house 1 is constructed.

  The sensor sequence menu candidate storage unit 51 stores conditions for changing the user interface of the information display device 10. In the sensor sequence menu candidate storage unit 51, for example, as shown in FIG. 15, a condition number, a condition sequence, a movement source, and a priority display menu are stored in association with each other. The condition sequence is an order of sensor names for detecting the presence of a person among a plurality of sensors. The movement source is an action start position in an action in which the moved user P moves to the information display device 10. The order of the sensor names and the movement source indicate combinations of attribute information of the space of the sensor that outputs each sensor signal. The priority display menu is a menu screen that is preferentially displayed on the display 33 of the information display device 10 when the user P moves from the movement source according to the condition sequence.

  In the example shown in FIG. 15, sensor sequences corresponding to condition numbers “1” and “2” are shown. According to the condition number “1”, the user P starts the action from the “AV room” of the movement source, and the human sensor (6), human sensor (5), human sensor (2), human sensor When sensor signals are detected in the order of (1), the AV content information is preferentially displayed. That is, when the combination of the space attribute information represents movement from the AV room to the information display device 10, the user interface includes AV content information. According to the condition number “2”, the user P starts the action from the “kitchen” of the movement source, and the sensor signal is in the order of the human sensor (3), the human sensor (2), and the human sensor (1). Is detected, the cooking recipe and cooking information are displayed with priority. That is, when the combination of space attribute information represents movement from the kitchen to the information display device 10, the user interface includes dishes and recipes.

  The system control unit 11 determines which sequence is a combination of a plurality of sensor signals detected on the time axis from the sensor table stored in the sensor installation location storage unit 13 and each sensor acquired by the sensor information acquisition unit 15. It is determined whether it corresponds to. Then, the system control unit 11 controls the user interface changing unit 22 to change the user interface when the combination of the plurality of sensor signals corresponds to the sequence stored in the sensor sequence menu candidate storage unit 51.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 16, when the user P moves from the AV room toward the information display device 10, the sensor information acquisition unit 15 includes the human sensor (6), human sensor (5), human Sensor signals are supplied in the order of the sensor (2) and the sensor (1). As a result, the sensor name is stored in the sensor information storage unit 16 along the time axis as shown in FIG. Then, the system control unit 11 compares the combination of a plurality of sensor names on the time axis stored in the sensor information storage unit 16 with the movement source and the condition sequence stored in the sensor sequence menu candidate storage unit 51. Accordingly, the system control unit 11 can determine that the condition number is “1”, and can preferentially display the AV content information on the display display 33 of the information display device 10.

  The system control unit 11 in such an information presentation system performs processing as shown in FIG. 18, for example. Here, a case where the user P acts along the dotted line P ′ as shown in FIG. 16 and the information shown in FIG. 17 is stored in the sensor information storage unit 16 will be described.

  First, in step S <b> 201, the system control unit 11 acquires the latest stored information from the sensor information storage unit 16.

  In the next step S202, the system control unit 11 determines whether or not the latest stored information acquired in step S201 is detected by the human sensor (1). If it is detected by the human sensor (1), the process proceeds to step S103, and if not, the process ends. The information display device 10 can acquire the information shown in FIG. 17 by the sensor information storage unit 16 by repeating the processes in steps S201 and S202 until it is detected that the detection is performed by the human sensor (1).

  In step S <b> 203, the system control unit 11 acquires a condition sequence from the sensor sequence menu candidate storage unit 51.

  In the next step S204, the system control unit 11 compares the storage order of the sensor names stored in the sensor information storage unit 16 with the condition sequence acquired in step S203. The system control unit 11 determines whether there is a condition sequence that partially matches the storage order of the sensor names stored in the sensor information storage unit 16, and if there is, advances the processing to step S205, If not, the process proceeds to step S206.

  When the user P moves as indicated by the dotted line P ′ in FIG. 16, the human sensor (5), human sensor (6), human sensor (5), human sensor (2) are shown in FIG. The sensor names are recorded in the order of the human sensor (1). On the other hand, as the condition sequence, the order of human sensor (6), human sensor (5), human sensor (2), human sensor (1) is registered as condition number “1”. Therefore, the condition sequence of condition number “1” partially matches the storage order of the sensor names stored in the sensor information storage unit 16.

  In step S <b> 205, the system control unit 11 acquires, from the sensor sequence menu candidate storage unit 51, menu screen candidates to be displayed by the user interface display unit 21 of the input device 12.
