<First Embodiment>
[Configuration and basic operation]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a measurement information processing system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  With reference to FIG. 1, the measurement information processing system 301 includes a measurement information processing apparatus 101, a plurality of devices 111, and a server 151. The plurality of devices 111 includes, for example, a smart meter 111A, a distribution board 111B, and an air conditioner 111C.

  In FIG. 1, three devices 111 are representatively shown, but a larger or smaller number of devices 111 may be provided.

  The device 111 can acquire measurement information. The measurement information processing apparatus 101, the smart meter 111A, the distribution board 111B, and the air conditioner 111C are installed, for example, in the power demand facility DF.

[Smart meter]
The smart meter 111A measures, for example, power in the power purchase direction from the system to the power demand facility DF, in other words, power consumed in the power demand facility DF (hereinafter also referred to as facility power consumption). More specifically, the smart meter 111A measures, for example, instantaneous values and integrated values of facility power consumption.

  The integrated value of facility power consumption measured by the smart meter 111A is used, for example, to calculate an electricity bill to be charged to the power demand facility DF.

  For example, the smart meter 111A periodically measures an instantaneous value and an integrated value of facility power consumption. Specifically, the smart meter 111A measures the instantaneous value and integrated value of facility power consumption, for example, about every 5 minutes. The smart meter 111A may measure an instantaneous value and an integrated value of facility power consumption irregularly.

  The device 111 creates measurement information including, for example, a measurement value or an integrated value of the measurement value, identification information of the device 111, and identification information of the measurement target. In the measurement information processing system 301, for example, measurement information is periodically transmitted from the same device 111.

  Here, the measured value is, for example, an instantaneous value of facility power consumption. The integrated value of the measured value is, for example, an integrated value of facility power consumption. The identification information of the device 111 is, for example, the ID of the device 111. The identification information of the measurement target is, for example, a class name and a property name. The class name and property name are defined by, for example, the ECHONET Lite (registered trademark) standard. The class name is also the type information of the device 111, for example.

  Specifically, for example, when the periodic measurement of the instantaneous value and integrated value of facility power consumption is completed, the smart meter 111A, according to the ECHONET Lite standard, the measurement information PSM including the measured instantaneous value of facility power consumption, and the measurement Measurement information ESM including the integrated value of facility power consumption is created.

  More specifically, the smart meter 111A includes, for example, its own ID, the instantaneous value of the measured facility power consumption, the class name “low-voltage smart energy meter”, and the property name “instantaneous power measurement value”. Measurement information PSM is created.

  The smart meter 111A has, for example, its own ID, the integrated value of the measured facility power consumption, the class name “low-voltage smart electric energy meter”, and the property name “integrated electric energy measurement value (positive direction measurement value). ) ”Is created.

  For example, the smart meter 111A periodically transmits the created measurement information PSM and measurement information ESM to the measurement information processing apparatus 101 via the LAN 10 in accordance with the ECHONET Lite standard.

  In addition, the smart meter 111A measures the instantaneous value of facility power consumption according to the instantaneous value measurement request received from the measurement information processing apparatus 101, for example, and the measurement information PSM including the measurement result is measured via the LAN 10 according to the ECHONET Lite standard. Transmission to the apparatus 101 is also possible.

  For example, the smart meter 111A measures the integrated value of the facility power consumption according to the integrated value measurement request received from the measurement information processing apparatus 101, and measures the measurement information ESM including the measurement result via the LAN 10 according to the ECHONET Lite standard. Transmission to the apparatus 101 is also possible.

[Distribution panel]
Distribution board 111B includes, for example, a sensor and measures facility power consumption using the sensor. More specifically, distribution board 111B measures, for example, instantaneous values and integrated values of facility power consumption.

  The instantaneous value and the integrated value of the facility power consumption measured by the distribution board 111B are used, for example, for “visualization of power consumption” in the power demand facility DF or control for power saving. For example, the measurement accuracy of facility power consumption by the distribution board 111B is lower than the measurement accuracy of facility power consumption by the smart meter 111A.

  Distribution board 111B measures the instantaneous value and integrated value of facility power consumption, for example, periodically. Specifically, distribution board 111B measures the instantaneous value and integrated value of facility power consumption, for example, about every 20 minutes. Distribution board 111B may measure the instantaneous value and integrated value of facility power consumption irregularly.

  For example, when the measurement of the instantaneous value and the integrated value of the facility power consumption is completed, the distribution board 111B, according to the ECHONET Lite standard, the measurement information PCB including the measured instantaneous value of the facility power consumption, and the measured facility power consumption The measurement information ECB including the integrated value is created.

  More specifically, the distribution board 111B includes, for example, its own ID, the measured instantaneous value of facility power consumption, the class name “distribution panel metering”, and the property name “instantaneous power measurement value”. The measurement information PCB including is created.

  In addition, the distribution board 111B has, for example, its own ID, the integrated value of measured facility power consumption, the class name “distribution board metering”, and the property name “integrated power amount measurement value (forward direction)”. ”Is created.

  For example, the distribution board 111B periodically transmits the created measurement information PCB and measurement information ECB to the measurement information processing apparatus 101 via the LAN 10 in accordance with the ECHONET Lite standard.

  Moreover, the distribution board 111B measures the instantaneous value of facility power consumption according to the instantaneous value measurement request received from the measurement information processing apparatus 101, for example, and measures the measurement information PCB including the measurement result via the LAN 10 according to the ECHONET Lite standard. Transmission to the processing apparatus 101 is also possible.

  Moreover, the distribution board 111B measures the integrated value of facility power consumption, for example, according to the integrated value measurement request received from the measurement information processing apparatus 101, and measures the measurement information ECB including the measurement result via the LAN 10 according to the ECHONET Lite standard. Transmission to the processing apparatus 101 is also possible.

[Air conditioner]
The air conditioner 111C includes, for example, a sensor, and measures its own current consumption using the sensor.

  The current consumption measured by the air conditioner 111C is used, for example, for “visualization of power consumption” in the power demand facility DF or control for power saving.

  For example, the air conditioner 111C periodically measures current consumption. Note that the air conditioner 111C may measure current consumption irregularly.

  When the measurement of the current consumption is completed, the air conditioner 111C creates measurement information IAC including the measured current consumption according to the ECHONET Lite standard.

  More specifically, the air conditioner 111C creates measurement information IAC including, for example, its own ID, the measured current consumption, the class name “home air conditioner”, and the property name “consumption current measurement value”.

  For example, the distribution board 111B periodically transmits the created measurement information IAC to the measurement information processing apparatus 101 via the LAN 10 in accordance with the ECHONET Lite standard.

  The measurement information processing apparatus 101 is, for example, a HEMS-GW (HEMS-Gate Way), and receives measurement information PSM, ESM, measurement information PCB, ECB, and measurement information IAC from the smart meter 111A, distribution board 111B, and air conditioner 111C, respectively. Then, the received measurement information PSM, ESM, measurement information PCB, ECB, and measurement information IAC are processed.

  The measurement information processing apparatus 101 transmits the processed measurement information to the server 151 via the Internet 11.

[Configuration of measurement information processing device]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration of the measurement information processing apparatus in the measurement information processing system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  With reference to FIG. 2, the measurement information processing apparatus 101 includes a reception unit 21, a transmission unit 22, a selection unit 23, an acquisition unit 24, a storage unit 25, a content change unit 26, a reception unit 27, A counter 28, a table holding unit 29, and a display unit 30 are provided.

  The counter 28 counts clock pulses generated by, for example, an oscillation circuit using a crystal resonator, and holds the counted value. The count value of the counter 28 is used for measuring the reception time of measurement information by the measurement information processing apparatus 101, for example.

  The receiving unit 21 receives measurement information from a plurality of devices 111, for example. More specifically, for example, when receiving measurement information from the device 111 via the LAN 10, the receiving unit 21 includes the reception time of the measurement information in the received measurement information, and then stores the measurement information in the storage unit 25.

  Specifically, for example, when receiving the measurement information ESM from the smart meter 111A via the LAN 10, the reception unit 21 acquires a count value from the counter 28 as the reception time of the measurement information ESM.

  The receiving unit 21 includes the reception time of the acquired measurement information ESM in the received measurement information ESM, and then stores the measurement information ESM in the storage unit 25. The receiving unit 21 processes measurement information other than the measurement information ESM in the same manner as the measurement information ESM.

[Priority table]
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a priority table held by the table holding unit in the measurement information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating another example of the priority table held by the table holding unit in the measurement information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating another example of the priority table held by the table holding unit in the measurement information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  3 to 5, the table holding unit 29 holds, for example, correspondence information indicating a correspondence relationship between identification information of measurement information and a measurement target in the measurement information. Specifically, the table holding unit 29 holds, for example, a priority table indicating a correspondence relationship between a class name and property name, which are identification information of measurement information, and a measurement target in the measurement information as correspondence information.

  The priority table is used, for example, for specifying measurement information to be transmitted to the server 151 from measurement information received from the device 111.

  The table holding unit 29 holds a priority table for each measurement target, for example. The priority table for each measurement target may be automatically created, or may be input by a user such as a contractor who installed the device 111.

  Here, the measurement target is, for example, the entire electric power demand facility DF or an electrical physical quantity that can be measured in each home appliance provided in the electric power demand facility DF, specifically, current, voltage, charge, electric power, and electric energy. Etc. Specifically, the measurement target is, for example, “main power (buying direction) instantaneous value” which is power consumption of the power demand facility DF, that is, facility power consumption, power consumption amount of the power demand facility DF, ie, facility power consumption “Main power consumption (power purchase direction) integrated value” that is the amount, and “air conditioner consumption current” that is the consumption current of the air conditioner 111C. The measurement result to be measured is a measurement result to be transmitted to the server 151, for example.

  The table holding unit 29 is, for example, a priority table Ctbl1 corresponding to a measurement target, that is, “main power (power purchase direction) instantaneous value”, “main power consumption (power purchase direction) integrated value”, and “air conditioner consumption current”, respectively. Holds Ctbl2 and Ctbl3.

  The priority table includes IDs of one or a plurality of devices 111 that perform measurement and transmit measurement values for the corresponding measurement target, that is, transmission devices.

  For example, in the priority table Ctbl1, the ID of the smart meter 111A and the distribution board 111B are used as IDs of transmitting devices that measure and transmit the “instantaneous value of main power (buying direction)”, that is, the instantaneous value of facility power consumption. ID is included.

  Further, for example, in the priority table Ctbl2, the ID of the smart meter 111A and the distribution of power are measured as the ID of the transmitting device that measures and transmits the “main power consumption (power purchase direction) integrated value”, that is, the integrated value of facility power consumption. The ID of the board 111B is included.

  Further, for example, the priority table Ctbl3 includes the ID of the air conditioner 111C as the ID of the transmission device that measures and transmits the “air conditioner consumption current”, that is, the current consumption of the air conditioner.

  For example, each of the plurality of measurement information is given a priority. Specifically, in each priority table, a class name and a property name are set for each ID of the transmitting device. A priority is set for each set of class name and property name, that is, for each identification information of measurement information.

  The priority is set according to, for example, the measurement accuracy of the transmission device that is the transmission source of the measurement information. Specifically, for example, the measurement accuracy of the instantaneous value and integrated value of facility power consumption by the smart meter 111A is higher than the measurement accuracy of the instantaneous value and integrated value of facility power consumption by the distribution board 111B. For this reason, the priority of the measurement information whose transmission source is the smart meter 111A is set higher than the priority of the measurement information whose transmission source is the distribution board 111B.

  Moreover, the priority is set without duplication for every ID of the transmission apparatus which becomes a transmission source. Note that the priority may be set redundantly for each ID of a transmission device that is a transmission source.

[Change contents of priority table]
The user can change the priority in the priority table, for example. Hereinafter, a procedure when the user changes the priority of the priority table Ctbl1 will be described, but the procedure for changing the priority of the priority tables Ctbl2 and Ctbl3 is the same.

  For example, when the user wants to change the contents of the priority table Ctbl1, the user performs an operation on the reception unit 27 to display the content change screen for the priority table Ctbl1 on the display unit 30.

  The accepting unit 27 accepts a user operation, for example, and outputs operation information indicating the accepted content to the content changing unit 26.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a content change screen displayed by the display unit in the measurement information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  Referring to FIG. 6, for example, when content operation unit 26 receives operation information from reception unit 27, content change unit 26 acquires the content of priority table Ctbl 1 from table holding unit 29 based on the received operation information. Control is performed to display the content change screen Sc1 shown in FIG. 6 on the display unit 30 using the content of the priority table Ctbl1.

  The content change screen Sc1 is a screen for changing, for example, the priority of the measurement information whose transmission source is the transmission device in the priority table Ctbl1, and the addition and deletion of the transmission device which is the transmission source of the measurement information. The content change screen Sc1 includes, for example, a priority table Ctbl1.

  For example, the user checks the check box CB using a pointing device such as a mouse, thereby identifying the checked item (hereinafter also referred to as a check item), specifically, the ID and class name of the distribution board 111B. It is possible to perform at least one of priority change and deletion from the priority table Ctbl1 for items including the electrical panel metering and the instantaneous power measurement value as the property name.

  More specifically, for example, the user can raise the priority of the check item by one by clicking the button Bu1 using a pointing device. In addition, for example, the user can lower the priority of the check item by one by clicking the button Bd1 using a pointing device.

  The user can set the priority of the check item to the highest level by clicking the button Bu2 using a pointing device, for example. Further, the user can set the priority of the check item to the lowest level by clicking the button Bd2 using a pointing device, for example.

  The user can delete the check item from the priority table Tbl1 by clicking the button Bdel using a pointing device, for example.

  Further, the user can add a new item to the priority table Tbl1 by clicking the button Badd using a pointing device, for example.

  The accepting unit 27 accepts an operation of a pointing device by a user, for example, and outputs operation information indicating the accepted content to the content changing unit 26.

  For example, when receiving the operation information from the receiving unit 27, the content changing unit 26 performs control to display on the display unit 30 a screen in which the priority of the check item in the priority table Ctbl1 is changed based on the received operation information. In addition, the display unit 30 is controlled to display a screen in which the check item is deleted from the priority table Ctbl1, or the display unit 30 is controlled to display a screen in which a new item is added to the priority table Ctbl1.

  For example, when the change of the contents of the priority table Ctbl1 is completed, the user clicks the button Be using the pointing device.

  The accepting unit 27 accepts an operation of a pointing device by a user, for example, and outputs operation information indicating the accepted content to the content changing unit 26.

  For example, when the operation changing information is received from the receiving unit 27, the content changing unit 26 reflects the changed content in the priority table Ctbl1 held in the table holding unit 29 based on the received operation information.

[Integrated value data table]
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the integrated value data table held by the table holding unit in the measurement information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  Referring to FIGS. 2 and 8, table holding unit 29 holds, for example, an integrated value data table Etbl corresponding to a measurement target of “main power consumption (power purchase direction) integrated value”. In the integrated value data table Etbl, measurement information is collected for each priority.

  More specifically, in the integrated value data table Etbl, for example, integrated values of facility power consumption included in the measurement information ESM or ECB are collected in order of reception time and for each priority. In addition, in the integrated value data table Etbl, for example, the ID of the device 111 included in the measurement information ESM or ECB, that is, the ID of the transmitting device, the class name, and the property name are collected for each priority. Further, the integrated value data table Etbl includes, for example, a measurement target.

  Specifically, the acquisition unit 24 acquires, for example, measurement information indicating measurement results for the same measurement target from the smart meter 111A or the distribution board 111B based on the priority table Ctbl2 illustrated in FIG.

  For example, the acquisition unit 24 monitors the storage unit 25, and the measurement information newly stored in the storage unit 25 includes the ID of the smart meter 111 </ b> A, the class name “low voltage smart power meter”, and the “integrated power amount measurement value ( If the measurement information ESM includes the property name “positive direction measurement value)”, the measurement information ESM is acquired.

  Then, the acquisition unit 24 adds the integrated value and the reception time of the facility power consumption included in the acquired measurement information ESM to the item “Measurement information with priority 1” in the integrated value data table Etbl.

  Further, for example, the acquisition unit 24 includes the measurement information newly accumulated in the accumulation unit 25 as the ID of the distribution board 111B, the class name of “distribution board metering”, and the “integrated power amount measurement value (forward direction)”. If the measurement information ECB includes the property name, the measurement information ECB is acquired.

  Then, the acquisition unit 24 adds the integrated value of the facility power consumption and the reception time included in the acquired measurement information ECB to the item “measurement information with priority 2” in the integrated value data table Etbl.

[Current value data table]
The table holding unit 29 holds, for example, a current value data table Itbl (not shown) corresponding to a measurement target of “air conditioner consumption current”. In the current value data table Itbl, for example, the consumption currents included in the measurement information IAC are collected in the order of reception time. Further, the current value data table Itbl includes, for example, the measurement target and the ID of the device 111 included in the measurement information IAC, that is, the ID of the transmitting device, the class name, and the property name.

  Specifically, the acquisition unit 24 acquires, for example, measurement information indicating measurement results for the same measurement target from the air conditioner 111C based on the priority table Ctbl3 illustrated in FIG.

  For example, the acquisition unit 24 monitors the storage unit 25, and the measurement information newly stored in the storage unit 25 includes the ID of the air conditioner 111C, the class name of “home air conditioner”, and the property name of “current consumption measurement value”. If the measurement information IAC is included, the measurement information IAC is acquired.

  Then, the acquisition unit 24 adds the consumption current and the reception time included in the acquired measurement information IAC to the current value data table Itbl.

  Hereinafter, each of the instantaneous value data table Ptbl, the integrated value data table Etbl, and the current value data table Itbl is also referred to as a data table Dtbl.

  In addition, the acquisition unit 24 deletes data for a predetermined time, eg, 48 hours or more, from the data table Dtbl.

  For example, when the acquisition unit 24 adds the instantaneous value of facility power consumption and the reception time to the instantaneous value data table Ptbl, the acquisition unit 24 sets the instantaneous value of facility power consumption acquired at least 48 hours before the reception time to the instantaneous value data table. Delete from Ptbl.

  Referring to FIG. 2 again, the selection unit 23 selects target measurement information from a plurality of pieces of measurement information acquired by the acquisition unit 24 according to a predetermined condition C1. Here, the condition C1 includes, for example, a condition C2 related to priority and conditions C3 and C4 related to the reception time of measurement information.

  Specifically, the selection unit 23 performs target measurement to be transmitted to the server 151 from the instantaneous value data table Ptbl, the integrated value data table Etbl, and the current value data table Itbl held by the table holding unit 29, for example. Information TP, TE and TI are respectively selected according to a predetermined condition C1.

  For example, the selection unit 23 sets a target period. Here, the target period is, for example, a period of 30 minutes starting from 0 minutes per hour and a period of 30 minutes starting from 30 minutes per hour.

  Specifically, the selection unit 23 performs, for example, a target period T1 from 16: 00 to 16:30 on March 1 and a target period T2 from 16:30 to 17:00 on March 1. The target period T3 from 17: 00 to 17:30 on the 1st and the target period T4 from 17:30 to 18:00 on March 1 are set.

  For example, for each data table Dtbl, the selection unit 23 selects target measurement information from the measurement information of each device 111 received by its own measurement information processing apparatus 101 in the target period based on the condition C1.

[Selection of instantaneous value of facility power consumption]
For example, using the conditions C2 and C3, the selection unit 23 specifies candidate measurement information to be a selection candidate from among the measurement information in the instantaneous value data table Ptbl shown in FIG. Here, the condition C2 is, for example, measurement information with a priority of 1. Moreover, the condition C3 is that the reception time of measurement information is included in the target period, for example.

  For example, the selection unit 23 specifies candidate measurement information from each measurement information in the instantaneous value data table Ptbl using the conditions C2 and C3 at the timing when each of the target periods T1 to T4 expires.

  More specifically, for example, the selection unit 23 uses the measurement information corresponding to the data numbers 1 to 3 in the instantaneous value data table Ptbl as the measurement information that satisfies the conditions C2 and C3 at the timing when the target period T1 expires. The candidate measurement information CPT1 at T1 is specified.

  For example, the selection unit 23 selects the target measurement information TP from the identified candidate measurement information CPT1 using the condition C4. Here, the condition C4 is, for example, the latest measurement information in the candidate measurement information.

  Specifically, for example, the selection unit 23 selects the measurement information corresponding to the data number 3 that is the measurement information satisfying the condition C4 in the candidate measurement information CPT1 as the target measurement information TP, and transmits the selected target measurement information TP. To the unit 22. Here, the target measurement information TP includes the reception time, the instantaneous value of facility power consumption, the ID of the device 111, the class name, and the property name.

  For example, the selection unit 23 sets the measurement information corresponding to the data numbers 5, 6, and 8 in the instantaneous value data table Ptbl as the measurement information that satisfies the conditions C2 and C3 at the timing when the target period T2 expires. Is specified as candidate measurement information CPT2.

  Then, for example, the selection unit 23 selects measurement information corresponding to the data number 8 that is measurement information satisfying the condition C4 in the candidate measurement information CPT2 as the target measurement information TP, and sends the selected target measurement information TP to the transmission unit 22. Output.

  For example, the selection unit 23 satisfies that the measurement information satisfying the conditions C2 and C3 is not included in the instantaneous value data table Ptbl at the timing when the target period T3 expires, and satisfies the condition C3 but does not satisfy the condition C2. It is recognized that the measurement information is included in the instantaneous value data table Ptbl.

  The plurality of pieces of measurement information acquired by the acquisition unit 24 include measurement information PSM, that is, first measurement information PSM, and measurement information PCB that has lower priority than the first measurement information, that is, second measurement information PCB.

  For example, when the first measurement information PSM is not received in the target period, the selection unit 23 selects the target measurement information TP from the second measurement information PCB received in the target period.

  Specifically, for example, when the measurement information PSM having the priority of 1, that is, the measurement information PSM from the smart meter 111A is not received in the target period T3, the selection unit 23 sets the priority received in the target period T3 to 2 The target measurement information TP is selected from the measurement information, that is, the measurement information PCB from the distribution board 111B.

  More specifically, for example, the selection unit 23 specifies measurement information corresponding to data numbers 9 and 10 in the instantaneous value data table Ptbl as candidate measurement information CPT3 in the target period T3.

  And the selection part 23 selects the measurement information corresponding to the data number 10 which is the measurement information which satisfy | fills condition C4 in candidate measurement information CPT3, for example as object measurement information TP.

  For example, when the first measurement information PSM is not received in the target period, the selection unit 23 uses the measurement value included in the second measurement information PCB received in the target period as the measurement value included in the first measurement information PSM. The second measurement information PCB including the measurement value after the correction is performed, that is, the target measurement information TP is selected.

  Specifically, for example, the selection unit 23 sets the instantaneous value of facility power consumption included in the target measurement information TP corresponding to the data number 10 to the facility consumption included in the measurement information from the smart meter 111A having a high priority. Correction is performed so that the server 151 can process the instantaneous value of power. Details of the correction will be described later.

  For example, the selection unit 23 outputs the target measurement information TP including the instantaneous value of facility power consumption after the correction is performed to the transmission unit 22.

  For example, at the timing when the target period T4 expires, the selection unit 23 sets the measurement information corresponding to the data numbers 11, 13, and 14 in the instantaneous value data table Ptbl as the measurement information that satisfies the conditions C2 and C3. Is specified as candidate measurement information CPT4.

  Then, the selection unit 23 selects, for example, measurement information corresponding to the data number 14 that is measurement information satisfying the condition C4 in the candidate measurement information CPT4 as target measurement information TP, and sends the selected target measurement information TP to the transmission unit 22. Output.

[Selecting the integrated value of facility power consumption]
For example, using the above-described conditions C2 and C3, the selection unit 23 specifies candidate measurement information to be a selection candidate from among the measurement information in the integrated value data table Etbl shown in FIG.

  For example, the selection unit 23 specifies candidate measurement information from each measurement information in the integrated value data table Etbl using the conditions C2 and C3 at the timing when each of the target periods T1 to T4 expires.

  More specifically, for example, at the timing when the target period T1 expires, the selection unit 23 uses the measurement information of the data numbers 51 to 53 in the integrated value data table Etbl as the measurement information that satisfies the conditions C2 and C3 in the target period T1. The candidate measurement information CET1 is specified.

  For example, the selection unit 23 selects the target measurement information TE from the identified candidate measurement information CET1 using the above-described condition C4.

  Specifically, for example, the selection unit 23 selects, as the target measurement information TE, measurement information corresponding to the data number 53 that is measurement information that satisfies the condition C4 in the candidate measurement information CET1, and transmits the selected target measurement information TE. To the unit 22. Here, the target measurement information TE includes the reception time, the integrated value of facility power consumption, the ID of the device 111, the class name, and the property name.

  Further, for example, the selection unit 23 sets the measurement information corresponding to the data numbers 55, 56, and 58 in the integrated value data table Etbl as the measurement information that satisfies the conditions C2 and C3 at the timing when the target period T2 expires. Is specified as candidate measurement information CET2.

  Then, for example, the selection unit 23 selects measurement information corresponding to the data number 58 that is measurement information satisfying the condition C4 in the candidate measurement information CET2 as the target measurement information TE, and sends the selected target measurement information TE to the transmission unit 22. Output.

  In addition, for example, the selection unit 23 satisfies that the measurement information satisfying the conditions C2 and C3 is not included in the integrated value data table Etbl at the timing when the target period T3 expires, and satisfies the condition C3 but does not satisfy the condition C2. It is recognized that the measurement information is included in the integrated value data table Etbl.

  The plurality of measurement information acquired by the acquisition unit 24 includes measurement information ESM, that is, first measurement information ESM, and measurement information ECB, that is, second measurement information ECB having a lower priority than the first measurement information.

  For example, when the first measurement information ESM is not received in the target period, the selection unit 23 selects the target measurement information TE from the second measurement information ECB received in the target period.

  Specifically, for example, when the measurement information ESM having the priority of 1, that is, the measurement information ESM from the smart meter 111A is not received in the target period T3, the selection unit 23 has the priority received in the target period T3 of 2. Target measurement information TE is selected from among the measurement information, that is, measurement information ECB from the distribution board 111B.

  More specifically, for example, the selection unit 23 specifies measurement information corresponding to the data numbers 59 and 60 in the integrated value data table Etbl as candidate measurement information CET3 in the target period T3.

  And the selection part 23 selects the measurement information corresponding to the data number 60 which is the measurement information which satisfy | fills condition C4 in candidate measurement information CET3 as object measurement information TE, for example.

  For example, when the first measurement information ESM is not received in the target period, the selection unit 23 includes the integrated value of the measurement values included in the second measurement information ECB received in the target period in the first measurement information ESM. The second measurement information ECB including the integrated value of the measurement value after the correction is performed, that is, the target measurement information TE is selected.

  Specifically, the selection unit 23 uses, for example, the facility consumption power included in the measurement information from the smart meter 111A having a high priority, the integrated value of the facility power consumption included in the target measurement information TE corresponding to the data number 60. Correction is performed so that the server 151 can process the integrated power value. Details of the correction will be described later.

  For example, the selection unit 23 outputs the target measurement information TE including the integrated value of the facility power consumption after the correction is performed to the transmission unit 22.

  Further, for example, at the timing when the target period T4 expires, the selection unit 23 sets the measurement information corresponding to the data numbers 61, 63, and 64 in the integrated value data table Etbl as the measurement information that satisfies the conditions C2 and C3. Is specified as candidate measurement information CET4.

  Then, for example, the selection unit 23 selects measurement information corresponding to the data number 64 that is measurement information satisfying the condition C4 in the candidate measurement information CET4 as the target measurement information TE, and sends the selected target measurement information TE to the transmission unit 22. Output.

[Selection of current consumption of air conditioner]
For example, the selection unit 23 specifies candidate measurement information to be a selection candidate from among the measurement information in the current value data table Itbl using the above-described conditions C2 and C3.

  For example, the selection unit 23 specifies measurement information in the current value data table Itbl that satisfies the conditions C2 and C3 as candidate measurement information CIT1 in the target period T1 at the timing when the target period T1 expires.

  For example, the selection unit 23 selects the target measurement information TI from the identified candidate measurement information CIT1 using the above-described condition C4, and outputs the selected target measurement information TI to the transmission unit 22.

  For example, the selection unit 23 similarly selects the target measurement information TI at the timing when the target period T2, T3, or T4 expires, and outputs the selected target measurement information TI to the transmission unit 22.

[Correction of measurement value included in measurement information or integrated value of measurement value]
For example, the selection unit 23 refers to the priority table held by the table holding unit 29, so that the measurement value included in the measurement information corresponding to the priority table including a plurality of IDs of transmission devices or the integrated value of the measurement values is determined. Recognize that correction may be performed.

  Specifically, the selection unit 23 refers to the priority table Ctbl1 shown in FIG. 3, for example, so that the priority table Ctbl1 includes the ID of the smart meter 111A and the ID of the distribution board 111B. In some cases, either the instantaneous value of the facility power consumption included in the measurement information PSM received from the smart meter 111A or the instantaneous value of the facility power consumption included in the measurement information PCB received from the distribution board 111B is corrected. Recognize that there is. Upon receiving this recognition, the selection unit 23 acquires a simultaneous instantaneous value described later.

  More specifically, for example, since the priority corresponding to the ID of the distribution board 111B is lower than the priority corresponding to the ID of the smart meter 111A, the selection unit 23 receives the measurement information received from the distribution board 111B. Recognize that the instantaneous value of facility power consumption contained in the PCB may be corrected.

  For example, the selection unit 23 refers to the priority table Ctbl2 shown in FIG. 4, and the priority table Ctbl2 includes the ID of the smart meter 111A and the ID of the distribution board 111B. That one of the integrated value of facility power consumption included in the measurement information ESM received from 111A and the integrated value of facility power consumption included in the measurement information ECB received from the distribution board 111B may be corrected. recognize. Upon receiving this recognition, the selection unit 23 acquires a simultaneous integration value described later.

  More specifically, for example, since the priority corresponding to the ID of the distribution board 111B is lower than the priority corresponding to the ID of the smart meter 111A, the selection unit 23 receives the measurement information received from the distribution board 111B. Recognize that the integrated value of facility power consumption included in the ECB may be corrected.

[Correction of instantaneous value of facility power consumption]
The selection part 23 performs the said correction | amendment based on the relationship between each measurement information transmitted from the some apparatus 111 at the same time, for example.

  Specifically, for example, the selection unit 23 creates a correction formula CFP for performing the correction based on the relationship between pieces of measurement information transmitted from the plurality of devices 111 at the same time. And the selection part 23 correct | amends the instantaneous value of facility power consumption using the created correction | amendment type | formula CFP, for example.

  More specifically, for example, the selection unit 23 measures the instantaneous value of facility power consumption measured by the smart meter 111A (hereinafter also referred to as the simultaneous instantaneous value SpvSM) and the distribution board 111B at approximately the same timing. The correction formula CFP is created based on the relationship between the instantaneous values of the facility power consumption (hereinafter also referred to as the simultaneous instantaneous value SpvCB).

  The selection unit 23 corrects the instantaneous value of the facility power consumption correction target (hereinafter also referred to as the target instantaneous value) included in the measurement information PCB using the created correction formula CFP.

[Acquire simultaneous instantaneous values]
For example, the selection unit 23 acquires the simultaneous instantaneous values SpvSM and SpvCB every predetermined time, specifically every 24 hours, and creates the correction formula CFP using the acquired simultaneous instantaneous values SpvSM and SpvCB. At this time, the selection unit 23 acquires the simultaneous instantaneous values SpvSM and SpvCB, for example, by performing the following processing.

  That is, the selection unit 23 refers to the count value of the counter 28, for example, and at every predetermined time, specifically every 24 hours, the instantaneous value measurement request addressed to the smart meter 111A and the instantaneous value addressed to the distribution board 111B. Create a measurement request.

  Then, the selection unit 23 sends the instantaneous value measurement request addressed to the smart meter 111A and the instantaneous value measurement request addressed to the distribution board 111B to the smart meter 111A and the distribution board 111B via the transmission unit 22 at substantially the same timing. Send.

  For example, the smart meter 111A measures the instantaneous value of facility power consumption according to the instantaneous value measurement request received from the measurement information processing apparatus 101 via the LAN 10, and the measurement information PSM including the measurement result is measured via the LAN 10 according to the ECHONET Lite standard. Transmit to the processing device 101.

  For example, the distribution board 111B measures the instantaneous value of facility power consumption according to the instantaneous value measurement request received from the measurement information processing apparatus 101 via the LAN 10, and measures the measurement information PCB including the measurement result via the LAN 10 according to the ECHONET Lite standard. Transmit to the information processing apparatus 101.

  The simultaneous instantaneous values SpvSM and SpvCB included in the measurement information PSM and the measurement information PCB received by the receiving unit 21 are added to the instantaneous value data table Ptbl by the acquiring unit 24, respectively.

  The selection unit 23 acquires the simultaneous instantaneous values SpvSM and SpvCB added to the instantaneous value data table Ptbl.

  For example, the selection unit 23 calculates the coefficient α by dividing the simultaneous instantaneous value SpvSM by the simultaneous instantaneous value SpvCB, and creates y = α × x as the correction formula CFP.

  Specifically, for example, when the simultaneous instantaneous values SpvSM and SpvCB are 300 W and 315 W, respectively, α = 300/313 = 0.96. Therefore, the selection unit 23 sets y = 0.96 × as the correction formula CFP. Create x.

  For example, the selection unit 23 calculates y, which is the corrected target instantaneous value, by substituting the target instantaneous value for x in the correction formula CFP. Here, y is a value that can be processed in the server 151 as an instantaneous value of facility power consumption included in the measurement information from the smart meter 111A.

  Note that the selection unit 23 may create a correction expression CFP with higher accuracy by performing error analysis based on the simultaneous instantaneous value SpvSM and the simultaneous instantaneous value SpvCB at a plurality of past timings.

  Specifically, the selection unit 23 calculates, for example, the average value of the simultaneous instantaneous value SpvSM and the simultaneous instantaneous value SpvCB at a plurality of past timings, and calculates the average value of each calculated simultaneous instantaneous value SpvSM and each simultaneous instantaneous value. A correction formula CFP is created using the average value of the values SpvCB.

  In addition, the selection unit 23 transmits measurement information to the measurement information processing apparatus 101 in accordance with the instantaneous value measurement request, for example, because at least one of the smart meter 111A and the distribution board 111B does not have a reception function. If this is not possible, the correction formula CFP is created by performing the following processing.

  That is, for example, the selection unit 23 creates the correction formula CFP using the instantaneous value of facility power consumption included in the measurement information PSM and the instantaneous value of facility power consumption included in the measurement information PCB, which are close to the reception time.

  Further, the selection unit 23 interpolates the instantaneous value of facility power consumption at the reference time based on the instantaneous value of facility power consumption at two reception times with a certain reference time in between.

  Specifically, the selection unit 23 has, for example, the instantaneous value SpvA of the facility power consumption included in the measurement information from the smart meter 111A whose reception time is March 1 at 23:30, and the reception time is 300 W. Distribution board 111B having an instantaneous power consumption value of 320 W included in the measurement information from distribution board 111B on March 1 at 23:28:00 and receiving time of March 1 at 23:33:00 In the case where the instantaneous value of facility power consumption included in the measurement information from 310 is 310 W, when 23:30 on March 1 is the reference time, the instantaneous value of facility power consumption in distribution board 111B is as follows: Interpolate as follows.

  That is, for example, the selection unit 23 performs linear interpolation with respect to the instantaneous value 320W of facility power consumption at 23:28:00 on March 1 and the instantaneous value 310W of facility power consumption at 23:33:00 on March 1. To calculate 313W as the instantaneous value SpvB of the facility power consumption at the reference time.

  For example, the selection unit 23 creates the correction formula CFP using the instantaneous value SpvA and the interpolated instantaneous value SpvB.

  The selection unit 23 may interpolate the instantaneous value of facility power consumption included in the measurement information from the smart meter 111A.

[Correction of integrated value of facility power consumption]
For example, the selection unit 23 creates a correction formula CFE for performing the correction based on the relationship between the pieces of measurement information transmitted from the plurality of devices 111 at the same time. And the selection part 23 correct | amends the integrated value of facility power consumption, for example using the produced correction formula CFE.

  More specifically, for example, the selection unit 23 measures the integrated value of facility power consumption measured by the smart meter 111A (hereinafter also referred to as the simultaneous integrated value SevSM) and the distribution board 111B at approximately the same timing. A correction formula CFE is created based on the relationship between the integrated values of facility power consumption (hereinafter also referred to as simultaneous integrated value SevCB).

  The selection unit 23 corrects the integrated value of the facility power consumption correction target (hereinafter also referred to as the target integrated value) included in the measurement information ECB, using the generated correction formula CFE.

[Acquire simultaneous accumulated value]
For example, the selection unit 23 acquires the simultaneous integration values SevSM and SevCB every predetermined time, specifically every 24 hours, and creates the correction formula CFE using the acquired simultaneous integration values SevSM and SevCB. At this time, the selection unit 23 acquires the simultaneous integration values SevSM and SevCB, for example, by performing the following processing.

  That is, the selection unit 23 refers to, for example, the count value of the counter 28, and at a predetermined time interval, specifically, every 24 hours, an integration value measurement request addressed to the smart meter 111A and an integration addressed to the distribution board 111B. Create a value measurement request.

  Then, the selection unit 23 sends the integrated value measurement request addressed to the smart meter 111A and the integrated value measurement request addressed to the distribution board 111B to the smart meter 111A and the distribution board 111B via the transmission unit 22 at substantially the same timing. Send.

  For example, the smart meter 111A measures the integrated value of facility power consumption according to the integrated value measurement request received from the measurement information processing apparatus 101, and measures the measurement information ESM including the measurement result via the LAN 10 according to the ECHONET Lite standard. Send to.

  For example, the distribution board 111B measures the integrated value of facility power consumption according to the integrated value measurement request received from the measurement information processing apparatus 101, and measures the measurement information ECB including the measurement result via the LAN 10 according to the ECHONET Lite standard. 101.

  The simultaneous integration values SevSM and SevCB respectively included in the measurement information ESM and the measurement information ECB received by the reception unit 21 are added to the integration value data table Etbl by the acquisition unit 24.

  The selection unit 23 acquires the simultaneous integration values SevSM and SevCB added to the integration value data table Etbl.

  For example, the timing at which the smart meter 111A is installed differs from the timing at which the distribution board 111B is installed, or the difference in accuracy between the smart meter 111A and the distribution board 111B is accumulated. Each integrated value of facility power consumption in the electrical panel 111B may vary greatly.

  Specifically, for example, the facility power consumption integrated value with data number 53 and the facility power consumption integrated value with data number 54 in the integrated value data table Etbl shown in FIG. Regardless, these integrated values differ greatly.

  Therefore, the selection unit 23 creates a correction formula CFE based on an absolute error, for example. Specifically, for example, the selection unit 23 calculates the offset β by subtracting the simultaneous integration value SevCB from the simultaneous integration value SevSM, and creates Y = X + β as the correction formula CFE.

  Specifically, for example, when the simultaneous integration values SevSM and SevCB are 1230.5 kWh and 760.2 kWh, respectively, β = 1230.5−760.2 = 470.3. Y = X + 470.3 is created as CFE.

  For example, the selection unit 23 calculates Y, which is the corrected target integrated value, by substituting the target integrated value for X in the correction formula CFE. Here, Y is a value that can be processed by the server 151 as an integrated value of facility power consumption included in the measurement information from the smart meter 111A.

  Note that the selection unit 23 may create a correction formula CFE with higher accuracy by performing error analysis based on the simultaneous integration value SevSM and the simultaneous integration value SevCB at a plurality of past timings.

  Specifically, the selection unit 23 calculates, for example, the average value of the simultaneous integration value SevSM and the simultaneous integration value SevCB at a plurality of past timings, and calculates the average value of each calculated simultaneous integration value SevSM and each simultaneous integration value. A correction formula CFE is created using the average value of the values SevCB.

  In addition, the selection unit 23 transmits measurement information to the measurement information processing apparatus 101 in accordance with the integrated value measurement request, for example, because at least one of the smart meter 111A and the distribution board 111B does not have a reception function. If this is not possible, the correction formula CFE is created by performing the following processing.

  That is, the selection unit 23 creates the correction formula CFE using, for example, the integrated value of facility power consumption included in the measurement information ESM and the integrated value of facility power consumption included in the measurement information ECB, which are close to the reception time.

  Also, the selection unit 23 interpolates the integrated value of facility power consumption at the reference time based on the integrated value of facility power consumption at two reception times with a certain reference time in between.

  Specifically, the selection unit 23 has, for example, a total SevA of facility power consumption included in measurement information from the smart meter 111A having a reception time of March 1 at 23:30, and 1240 kWh, and a reception time of 3 From the distribution board 111B of the facility power consumption included in the measurement information from the distribution board 111B at 23:28:00 on March 1, and 770 kWh and the reception time at 23:33:00 on March 1 When the integrated value of facility power consumption included in the measurement information is 771 kWh, when 23:30 on March 1 is the reference time, the integrated value of facility power consumption in distribution board 111B is as follows: Interpolate to

  That is, for example, the selection unit 23 linearly interpolates the facility power consumption integrated value 770 kWh on March 1 at 23:28:00 and the facility power consumption integrated value 771 kWh on March 1 23:33:00. As a result, 770.7 kWh is calculated as the integrated value SevB of facility power consumption at the reference time.

  For example, the selection unit 23 creates the correction formula CFE using the integrated value SevA and the interpolated integrated value SevB.

  Note that the selection unit 23 may interpolate the integrated value of facility power consumption included in the measurement information from the smart meter 111A.

  Referring to FIG. 2 again, the transmission unit 22 transmits the measurement information selected by the selection unit 23 to another device. Specifically, for example, when receiving the target measurement information TP, TE, or TI from the selection unit 23, the transmission unit 22 transmits the received target measurement information TP, TE, or TI to the server 151 via the Internet 11.

  Upon receiving the target measurement information TP, TE, or TI from the measurement information processing apparatus 101, the server 151 performs, for example, statistical processing or analysis processing on the content of the target measurement information TP, TE, or TI.

[Confirmation of operation status of device 111 in server 151]
For example, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the transmission unit 22 transmits all of a plurality of pieces of measurement information received by the own measurement information processing apparatus 101 to another apparatus, specifically, the server 151.

  More specifically, for example, the selection unit 23 selects target measurement information from the data table Dtbl at a timing when any one of the 48 target periods in 24 hours as a predetermined condition expires. Then, the following processing is performed.

  That is, the selection unit 23 selects, for example, the latest measurement information (hereinafter also referred to as measurement information for confirmation) satisfying the condition C3 from the data table Dtbl and having the priority from the first place to the lowest order.

  For example, in the data table Dtbl, when the condition C3 is satisfied and the latest measurement information with the priority from the first place to the lowest order is not included, the selection unit 23 performs the same process in the next target period.

  The selection unit 23 outputs the selected target measurement information and confirmation measurement information to the transmission unit 22. Upon receiving the target measurement information and confirmation measurement information from the selection unit 23, the transmission unit 22 transmits the received target measurement information and confirmation measurement information to the server 151 via the Internet 11.

  When the server 151 receives the target measurement information and the confirmation measurement information from the measurement information processing apparatus 101, the server 151 confirms the operation status of each device 111 based on the content of the received confirmation measurement information.

For example, the server performs energy management in the home based on the measurement information received from the HEMS.

  Here, the server may receive measurement information indicating a measurement result for the same measurement target measured by different devices from the HEMS. In such a case, it is difficult for the server to correctly perform energy management using the measurement information.

  More specifically, for example, the server cannot determine which measurement information indicates the measurement result of the overlapping content, and thus cannot correctly select the measurement information to be used for energy management. For this reason, it is difficult for the server to correctly perform energy management using the measurement information.

  On the other hand, in the measurement information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the acquisition unit 24 acquires measurement information about the same measurement target from a plurality of devices 111 capable of performing measurement. .

  In the measurement information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention, at least the first measurement information and the first measurement information have a lower priority than the plurality of measurement information acquired by the acquisition unit 24. Second measurement information is included. Then, when the first measurement information is not received in the target period, the selection unit 23 selects the second measurement information received in the target period.

  With such a configuration, even when the measurement information processing apparatus 101 does not receive the first measurement information having a higher priority in the target period, the server 151 uses the second measurement information in the target period as a backup for the measurement information. It can be received from the processing device 101.

  In the measurement information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention, at least the first measurement information and the first measurement information have a lower priority than the plurality of measurement information acquired by the acquisition unit 24. Second measurement information is included. When the first measurement information is not received in the target period, the selection unit 23 performs correction so that the second measurement information received in the target period can be processed as the first measurement information. 2nd measurement information after having been performed is selected.

  With such a configuration, it is possible to increase the usefulness of the measurement information that the server 151 receives as a backup.

  In the measurement information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the selection unit 23 performs the correction based on the relationship between the pieces of measurement information transmitted from the plurality of devices 111 at the same time.

  As described above, since the correction is performed based on the relationship between the pieces of measurement information indicating the result of measuring the same measurement object at the same time, the correction accuracy can be increased. The measurement result indicated by the first measurement information having a higher priority can be made closer.

  In the measurement information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the measurement information includes an integrated value of the measurement values.

  With such a configuration, for example, even when the integrated values differ greatly among the devices 111 because the timing of starting the integration of the measured values in the plurality of devices 111 is different, the server 151 can be used as a backup by correcting the integrated values. The usefulness of the measurement information to be received can be further increased.

  In the measurement information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the measurement information includes the identification information of the device 111 and the identification information of the measurement target.

  With such a configuration, in the apparatus that processes measurement information, the device 111 that has performed the measurement that is the basis of the measurement information and the content of the measurement target can be easily recognized.

  The plurality of measurement information acquired by the classification unit 54 includes measurement information ESM, that is, first measurement information ESM, and measurement information ECB, that is, second measurement information ECB having a lower priority than the first measurement information.

  For example, when the first measurement information ESM is not received in the target period, the selection unit 53 selects the target measurement information TE from the second measurement information ECB received in the target period.

  For example, when the first measurement information ESM is not received in the target period, the selection unit 53 determines that the integrated value of the measurement values included in the second measurement information ECB received in the target period is the first measurement information ESM. The second measurement information ECB including the integrated value of the measured value after the correction is performed, that is, the target measurement information TE Select.

  The selection unit 53 corrects, for example, the integrated value of the facility power consumption correction target included in the measurement information ECB, that is, the target integrated value, using the created correction formula CFE. For example, the selection unit 53 selects the target measurement information TE including the corrected measurement value, and outputs the selected target measurement information TE to the processing unit 61.

[Selection of current consumption of air conditioner]
For example, the selection unit 53 specifies candidate measurement information to be a selection candidate from among the measurement information in the current value data table Itbl using the above-described conditions C2 and C3.

  For example, the selection unit 53 specifies candidate measurement information from each measurement information in the current value data table Itbl using the conditions C2 and C3 at the timing when each of the target periods T1 to T4 expires.

  For example, the selection unit 53 selects the target measurement information TI from the identified candidate measurement information using the above-described condition C4, and outputs the selected target measurement information TI to the processing unit 61.

  For example, the selection unit 23 similarly selects the target measurement information TI at the timing when the target period T2, T3, or T4 expires, and outputs the selected target measurement information TI to the transmission unit 22.

  The processing unit 61 processes the target measurement information TP, TE, and TI selected by the selection unit 53.
