The information processing system 1 is installed in a house 10 and is seasonally used in the summer. However, the information processing system 1 may be used not only in the summer period but also in three periods of the spring period, the summer period, and the autumn period.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system 1 includes a server 11, a network hub 12, a temperature sensor parent device 13, temperature sensor slave devices 13 a to 13 c, a wireless router 14, a wireless communication device 15, and a mobile phone that is a behavior information providing device. Type information processing device 16 is provided.

  In the information processing system 1, the server 11 and the temperature sensor base unit 13, and the server 11 and the wireless router 14 are connected to each other via the network hub 12 so as to communicate with each other. A wireless communication device 15 is connected to the wireless router 14. Further, the portable information processing device 16 and the wireless router 14, and the temperature sensor master unit 13 and the temperature sensor slave units 13a to 13c are capable of wireless communication. The portable information processing device 16 is configured to be able to wirelessly communicate with the external server 20 via the wireless router 14 and the wireless communication device 15.

  The server 11 controls data communication via the network hub 12. For example, the server 11 acquires the temperature measured by the temperature sensor slave units 13 a to 13 c from the temperature sensor master unit 13, and the temperature sensor slave units 13 a to 13 c measure in response to a request from the portable information processing device 16. The temperature is transmitted to the portable information processing device 16 via the network hub 12 and the wireless router 14.

  The network hub 12 controls data communication between the server 11 and the temperature sensor base unit 13 and between the server 11 and the wireless router 14.

  Under the control of the server 11, the temperature sensor master unit 13 acquires the measured temperature from the temperature sensor slave units 13 a to 13 c by wireless communication at a predetermined timing, and transmits the acquired temperature to the server 11.

  The temperature sensor slave unit 13a is arranged in a predetermined room in the house 10 and measures the temperature in the room. The predetermined room is, for example, a living room, and is preferably a place where the resident spends the longest daytime. The indoor temperature (room temperature) measured by the temperature sensor slave unit 13a is transmitted to the temperature sensor master unit 13 by wireless communication.

  The temperature sensor slave unit 13 b is arranged outside the south side of the house 10 and measures the temperature outside the south side of the house 10. The temperature outside the south side measured by the temperature sensor slave unit 13b is transmitted to the temperature sensor master unit 13 by wireless communication.

  The temperature sensor slave unit 13 c is arranged outside the north side of the house 10 and measures the temperature outside the north side of the house 10. The temperature outside the north side measured by the temperature sensor slave unit 13c is transmitted to the temperature sensor master unit 13 by wireless communication.

  The wireless router 14 performs wireless communication with the portable information processing device 16. For example, an acquisition request for the measured temperature of the temperature sensor slave units 13 a to 13 c transmitted from the portable information processing device 16 is transmitted to the server 11 via the network hub 12, and transmitted from the server 11 via the network hub 12. The temperature measured by the temperature sensor slave units 13 a to 13 c is transmitted to the portable information processing device 16.

  The wireless communication device 15 performs wireless communication with the server 20. The wireless communication device 15, according to an instruction from the portable information processing device 16, weathers such as the predicted maximum temperature of today, the predicted minimum temperature of the next day, and the comfort coefficient (described in a second embodiment described later) from the server 20. The related information is acquired, and the acquired weather related information is transmitted to the portable information processing device 16 via the wireless router 14.

  The portable information processing device 16 is a portable information processing device that can be carried by a resident. The portable information processing device 16 is, for example, a smartphone such as iPhone (registered trademark), but is not limited to this, and any information processing device having a wireless communication function and a function capable of providing information to a resident can be used. Good. Note that the present invention can be applied even if the information processing apparatus is not portable.

  Next, the hardware configuration of the portable information processing device 16 will be described with reference to the drawings. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the portable information processing device 16 includes a CPU 30, a memory 31, a storage unit 32, a wireless communication unit 33, a display unit 34, an input unit 35, and a clock unit 36. The CPU 30, the memory 31, the storage unit 32, the wireless communication unit 33, the display unit 34, the input unit 35, and the clock unit 36 are connected via a bus line 37.

  The CPU 30 controls the reading of data and programs from the storage unit 32, the control of expanding the program to the memory 31, the wireless communication control by the wireless communication unit 33, the information display control on the display unit 34, and the input acceptance control from the input unit 35. Etc.

  The memory 31 is used as a work area when the CPU 30 executes the behavior information presentation program.

  The storage unit 32 includes a behavior information provision program storage unit 32a that stores a behavior information provision program, a comfort temperature storage unit 32b that stores a comfort temperature, and a behavior information storage unit 32c that stores a plurality of behavior information.

  The behavior information provision program stored in the behavior information provision program storage unit 32a provides behavior information for encouraging residents to reduce the energy used in the house by using the natural environment outside the house. It is a program. This behavioral information provision program is based on a plurality of measured data that realizes a comfortable indoor environment through the improvement of the outside environment of the house, the introduction of appropriate environmental components, and the ingenuity of residents such as opening and closing of the residents' windows. It is desirable. The behavior information providing program configured as described above can be applied not only to a specific house but also to a general house. This behavior information provision program may be downloaded from the server 20 and stored in the behavior information provision program storage unit 32a, or may be stored in advance in the portable information processing device 16.

  The behavior information providing program, for example, compares the function of acquiring the predicted maximum temperature from the server 20 to the portable information processing device 16 and the acquired predicted maximum temperature and a preset comfortable temperature at 8:00. And the action information storage unit 32c that stores a plurality of action information that prompts the resident to take action to reduce the energy used in the house 10 by using the natural environment outside the house 10, and as described above According to the comparison result, the first behavior information is provided with a function of providing residents with “Today, it is a cool day, so please open all windows.” Details of the behavior information providing program will be described later with reference to FIGS.

  The comfortable temperature is 26 ° C. in the present embodiment. This 26 ° C. is generally a temperature that people feel comfortable. If the room is 26 ° C., a resident can comfortably stay indoors. In the present embodiment, the comfortable temperature is described as 26 ° C., but the temperature at which the person feels comfortable may be different depending on the person. For this reason, it is desirable to configure the comfortable temperature so that the resident can change the setting by operating the input unit 35.

  The action information uses the natural environment outside the house 10 (atmosphere outside the south side and the north side of the house 10) to reduce the energy used in the house 10 (for example, energy used in an air conditioner). This is information that prompts residents.

  For example, the behavior information is “Today is a cool day, so let's open all the windows.” “From now on, it's going to get hot outside. Let's close all the windows so that you don't miss the cold. "Let the windows on the north and west open and close the windows on the east and south.", "Let the windows on the east, south and west." Let's open all the windows and take in the cold. "" Tomorrow morning will be cool so let's keep all the windows open. "And" Today is a tropical night. Keep all the windows closed. Keep the windows on the north side OK, "close the north side and let all windows close." In this manner, a plurality of behavior information is stored in the behavior information storage unit 32c.

  The wireless communication unit 33 transmits a predetermined request to the outside by wireless communication and receives information from the outside. For example, the wireless communication unit 33 transmits an acquisition request for the temperature measured by any of the temperature sensor slave units 13a to 13c to the server 11 via the wireless router 14 and the network hub 12 at a predetermined timing. The temperature sensor slave units 13a to 13c described above receive the measured temperature. The wireless communication unit 33 transmits the above-described weather-related information acquisition request to the server 20 via the wireless router 14 and the wireless communication device 15 at a predetermined timing, and receives the weather-related information as a response.

  The display unit 34 has, for example, a liquid crystal display, and displays behavior information on the liquid crystal display under the control of the CPU 30. Thereby, action information is provided to a resident.

  The input unit 35 receives a resident's instruction and transmits the instruction to the CPU 30. The input unit 35 is, for example, a touch panel.

  The clock unit 36 measures time.

  Next, an example of providing behavior information in the portable information processing device 16 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the portable information processing device 16 has a touch panel type liquid crystal display 41. On the liquid crystal display 41, in addition to the date, time, today's predicted maximum temperature, and comfortable temperature, the action information “ It ’s a cool day today, so let ’s open all the windows. ”42 is displayed.

  In this way, by displaying the behavior information on the display unit 34 at a predetermined timing, what kind of behavior should be taken to reduce the energy used in the house by utilizing the natural environment outside the house. It becomes possible to make a resident aware.

  Next, behavior information provision processing executed by the CPU 30 of the portable information processing device 16 will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, a case where behavior information is provided to the resident by displaying the behavior information on the display unit 34 will be described.

  First, the CPU 30 uses the time counted by the clock unit 36 to determine whether the time is any time in the early morning, for example, 8:00 (S101). When the time is not 8:00 (S101: NO), the CPU 30 repeats this determination until 8:00.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the time has reached 8:00 (S101: YES), the CPU 30 obtains the current predicted maximum temperature, which is the first weather-related information, from the server 20 via the wireless router 14 and the wireless communication device 15. It is acquired and it is determined whether or not the predicted maximum temperature is equal to or lower than the comfortable temperature (26 ° C.) stored in the comfortable temperature storage unit 32b that is the second weather related information (S102).

  When it is determined that today's predicted maximum temperature is 26 ° C. or lower (S102: YES), the CPU 30 determines the behavior information “Today is a day that is cool all day” from the plurality of behavior information stored in the behavior information storage unit 32c. So, let's spend all the windows open "(first action information) and display the action information on the display unit 34 (S103). And CPU30 complete | finishes today's action information provision process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that today's predicted maximum temperature is not 26 ° C. or less (S102: NO), the CPU 30 detects the temperature (room temperature) measured by the temperature sensor slave unit 13a from the server 11 via the wireless router 14 and the network hub 12. ) To determine whether today's predicted maximum temperature is lower than room temperature (S104).

  When it is determined that today's predicted maximum temperature is lower than room temperature (S104: YES), the CPU 30 determines from the plurality of behavior information stored in the behavior information storage unit 32c that the behavior information “Today is a cool day, Let's spend all the windows open "(second action information) is selected and the action information is displayed on the display unit 34 (S103). That is, the CPU 30 performs the same processing as when the determination is YES in step S102 described above.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that today's predicted maximum temperature is not lower than room temperature (S104: NO), the CPU 30 detects the temperature measured by the temperature sensor slave unit 13b from the server 11 via the wireless router 14 and the network hub 12 (house). 10), and whether or not the temperature outside the south side is higher than the above-described room temperature is determined (S105).

  When it is determined that the temperature outside the south side of the house 10 is higher than the room temperature (S105: YES), the CPU 30 determines the behavior information “there is likely to be hot outside” from the plurality of behavior information stored in the behavior information storage unit 32c. Let's close all the windows so as not to miss the cold. "(Third action information) is selected and the action information is displayed on the display unit 34 (S106).

  When the action information is displayed on the display unit 34 in this way, the CPU 30 determines whether or not 14:00 has been reached using the time counted by the clock unit 36 (S107). When it is determined that it is not 14:00 (S107: NO), the CPU 13 repeats this determination until 14:00.

  When it is determined that 14:00 has been reached, the CPU 30 acquires the temperature (temperature outside the south side of the house 10) measured by the temperature sensor slave unit 13b from the server 11 via the wireless router 14 and the network hub 12. Then, the temperature (room temperature) measured by the temperature sensor slave unit 13a is acquired, and it is determined whether or not the temperature outside the south side is lower than the room temperature (S108).

  If it is determined that the temperature outside the south side of the house 10 is not lower than the room temperature (S108: NO), the CPU 30 uses the time counted by the clock unit 36 to determine whether the time is 22:00. Is determined (S109).

  When it is determined that the time is not 22:00 (S109: NO), the CPU 30 repeats the process of determining whether the temperature outside the south side of the house 10 in step S108 is lower than the room temperature. That is, the CPU 13 repeats the process of determining whether or not the temperature outside the south side is lower than the room temperature until the time becomes 22:00.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the temperature outside the south side of the house 10 is lower than the room temperature (S108: YES), the CPU 30 determines the behavior information “outside is cooler” from the plurality of behavior information stored in the behavior information storage unit 32c. Let's open all windows and take in cold air "(third action information) is selected and the action information is displayed on the display unit 34 (S110).

  When the action information is displayed in this way, the CPU 30 determines whether or not the time is 22:00 using the time counted by the clock unit 36 (S111). When it is determined that the time is not 22:00 (S111: NO), the CPU 30 repeats this determination until the time is 22:00.

  When it is determined that the time has reached 22:00 in the above-described step S109 (S109: YES), or when it is determined in step S111 that the time has become 22:00 (S111: YES), the CPU 30 The predicted minimum temperature of the next day is acquired from the server 20 via the router 14 and the wireless communication device 15, and the temperature (room temperature) measured by the temperature sensor slave unit 13a is acquired from the server 11 via the wireless router 14 and the network hub 12. Then, it is determined whether or not the temperature difference obtained by subtracting the predicted minimum temperature of the next day from the room temperature is 2 ° C. or more (S112).

  When it is determined that the temperature difference is 2 ° C. or more (S112: YES), the CPU 30 determines that the behavior information “becoming cool tomorrow morning is cooler” from the plurality of behavior information stored in the behavior information storage unit 32c. Let's open. ”And the action information is displayed on the display unit 34 (S113).

  On the other hand, when it determines with a temperature difference not being 2 degreeC or more (S112: NO), CPU30 is action information "Today is a tropical night. From all the action information memorize | stored in the action information storage part 32c. The cool air is stored with the button closed, and the action information is displayed on the display unit 34 (S114).

  As described above, when the action information is displayed on the display unit 34 in step S113 or S114, the CPU 30 ends the action information providing process of today.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S105 described above that the temperature outside the south side of the house 10 is not higher than room temperature (S105: NO), the CPU 30 determines behavior information from a plurality of behavior information stored in the behavior information storage unit 32c. “Leave the north and west windows open and close the east and south windows” (third action information) is selected, and the action information is displayed on the display unit 34 (S115).

  When the action information display process of step S115 is completed, the CPU 30 determines whether or not the time has reached 9:00 using the time counted by the clock unit 36 (S116). If it is determined that it is not 9:00 (S116: NO), the CPU 30 repeats this determination until the time reaches 9:00.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the time has reached 9:00 (S116: YES), the CPU 30 closes the windows of the behavior information “east side, south side, and west side from the plurality of behavior information stored in the behavior information storage unit 32c. Let's select "and display the action information on the display unit 34 (S117).

  Next, the CPU 30 determines whether the time has reached 10:00 using the time counted by the clock unit 36 (S118). When it is determined that the time is not 10:00 (S118: NO), the CPU 30 repeats this determination until the time is 10:00.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the time has reached 10:00 (S118: YES), the CPU 30 detects the temperature measured by the temperature sensor slave unit 13c from the server 11 via the wireless router 14 and the network hub 12 (north side of the house 10). (Outside temperature) is acquired, and the temperature (room temperature) measured by the temperature sensor slave unit 13a is acquired to determine whether the temperature outside the north side of the house 10 is higher than the room temperature (S119).

  When it determines with the temperature outside the north side of the house 10 being higher than room temperature (S119: YES), CPU30 is action information "close the north side and close all windows from the some action information memorize | stored in the action information storage part 32c. Is selected "(fourth behavior information) is selected, and the behavior information is displayed on the display unit 34 (S120).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the temperature outside the north side of the house 10 is not higher than room temperature (S119: NO), the CPU 30 determines the behavior information “North window is from the plurality of behavior information stored in the behavior information storage unit 32c. It is OK if it is opened "(fourth action information), and the action information is displayed on the display unit 34 (S121).

  When the behavior information is displayed on the display unit 34 in this manner, the CPU 30 acquires the temperature (temperature outside the north side of the house 10) measured by the temperature sensor slave unit 13 c from the server 11 via the wireless router 14 and the network hub 12. At the same time, the temperature (room temperature) measured by the temperature sensor slave unit 13a is acquired, and it is determined whether the temperature outside the north side of the house 10 is higher than the room temperature (S122).

  When it is determined that the temperature outside the north side of the house 10 is not higher than room temperature (S122: NO), the CPU 30 determines whether or not the time has reached 17:00 using the time counted by the clock unit 36. (S123).

  When determining that the time is not 17:00 (S123: NO), the CPU 30 determines whether or not the temperature outside the north side of the house 10 in step S122 is higher than room temperature. That is, the CPU 30 repeats the process of determining whether or not the temperature outside the north side of the house 10 is higher than the room temperature until the time reaches 17:00.

  If it is determined that the temperature outside the north side of the house 10 is higher than room temperature before the time reaches 17:00 (S122: YES), the CPU 30 is stored in the behavior information storage unit 32c. From the plurality of behavior information, the behavior information “OK with the north window opened” (fourth behavior information) is selected, and the behavior information is displayed on the display unit 34. That is, the CPU 30 performs the same processing as when the determination in step S119 is YES.

  When the behavior information is displayed in step S120, or when it is determined in step S123 that the time has reached 17:00 (S123: YES), the CPU 30 executes the processing of steps S108 to S114 to provide today's behavior information. The process ends. The details of the processing from step S108 to S114 have already been described, and are omitted here.

  According to the portable information processing device 16 configured as described above, the predicted maximum temperature and the comfortable temperature, the predicted maximum temperature and the room temperature are compared at a preset time (8:00), and the predicted maximum temperature is compared. When the temperature is low, it is possible to display on the display unit 34 action information that “Today, it is a cool day, so let's open all windows.” Thereby, the resident can realize a comfortable living environment without opening the air conditioner by opening all the windows of the house 10.

  Further, according to the portable information processing device 16, when the temperature outside the south side of the house 10 is compared with the room temperature at a preset time (8:00), the temperature outside the south side of the house 10 is higher than the room temperature. , The action information “It seems that it will be hot outside now. Let's close all the windows so as not to miss the cold.” Can be displayed on the display unit 34. Thereby, a resident can stop the action which opens a morning window, and can keep the cold in the house 10 from missing. Therefore, since the refrigeration keeps the cool air even if it becomes hot after that, the cooling operation of the air conditioner can be minimized and a comfortable living environment can be realized.

  Furthermore, when the temperature outside the south side of the house 10 becomes lower than room temperature within a preset time (14:00 to 22:00 or 17:00 to 22:00), the action information “Outside is cool “Let's open all windows and take in cold air” can be displayed on the display unit 34. Thereby, the resident can open the closed window and can take in cold air outside the south side of the house 10. Therefore, the resident can realize a comfortable living environment without operating the air conditioner.

  Furthermore, according to the portable information processing device 16, if the temperature outside the south side of the house 10 is not higher than the room temperature at 8:00, the house 10 is set for a predetermined time from 10:00 to 17:00. Using the temperature difference between the temperature outside the north side and room temperature, the action information “North window is open and OK”, “Close the north side and let all windows open.” Can be displayed on the unit 34. Accordingly, the resident can use the air outside the north side of the house 10 to minimize the cooling operation of the air conditioner used in the house 10.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment will be described. The third embodiment is different from the first embodiment described above in that the temperature sensor slave units 13a to 13c are changed to a globe thermometer that measures the temperature based on thermal radiation from the surroundings. Therefore, below, the point changed into the said globe thermometer is demonstrated in detail. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the structure same as 1st Embodiment, and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The temperature sensor slave units 13a to 13c are globe thermometers as described above, and are made of, for example, thin copper and have a black body painted on the surface, and are configured to measure the temperature based on thermal radiation. . For this reason, the temperature sensor slave units 13b and 13c are resistant to the turbulence of the airflow, and, for example, when providing behavior information to a resident during a strong wind, it is possible to measure the temperature more appropriately than in the first embodiment.

(Modification of the first to third embodiments)

Thereby, the portable information processing device 16 can adapt to a temperature change and a comfort coefficient change for each season.

  Further, in each of the embodiments described above, the process of providing the behavior information to the resident has been described in the case where the behavior information is displayed on the display unit 34, but is not limited thereto. For example, an audio output unit may be provided in the portable information processing device 16 so that the behavior information is provided to the resident by voice instead of the behavior information display, or the behavior information display and the voice are provided to the resident at the same time. You may make it do.

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, weather information of “sunny”, “cloudy”, and “rain” may be acquired as weather-related information. When the weather is “cloudy” and “rainy”, the influence of solar radiation is very small. Therefore, when displaying the action information on the display unit 34, the portion indicating the direction of the window to be opened or closed is not displayed. May be. In this case, for example, the behavior information “OK when the north window is opened” is changed to the behavior information “OK when the window is opened” and displayed on the display unit 34. Thereby, when there is little influence of solar radiation, the discomfort of the resident by providing the direction of the window to open and the window to close can be eliminated.

  The present invention can be widely applied to a program that functions as a learning tool for fixing resident energy saving behavior in daily life, an information providing device that stores the program, and the like.
