(Embodiment)
(1) Overview Hereinafter, the evaluation system 10 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The evaluation system 10 of this embodiment is a system for evaluating the facility 5. For example, if the facility 5 is an accommodation facility, the evaluation system 10 is a system that evaluates the accommodation facility based on the presence or absence of facilities for allowing the guest to stay with peace of mind or the usage environment.

  In the present embodiment, as an example of the facility 5, an accommodation facility that provides a private accommodation service is cited. “Private stay” here includes both leasing of privately owned facilities 5 as accommodation facilities and leasing business by corporations.

  The evaluation system 10 of the present embodiment includes a server 1 installed outside the facility 5 and a local device 40 installed in the facility 5 as main components. The server 1 and the local device 40 are configured to be able to communicate with each other via the network 4. An information terminal 3 is further connected to the network 4. The information terminal 3 is configured to be able to communicate with the server 1 via the network 4.

  The evaluation system 10 of this embodiment includes an acquisition unit 11 and an output unit 12. The acquisition unit 11 acquires information on the device from the device used in the facility 5. In the present embodiment, the devices used in the facility 5 are, for example, the local device 40, the smart meter 51, the solar power generation system 52, the electronic lock 53, the security camera 54, the air conditioner 55, the lighting device 56, the noise sensor 57, and the smoke. This is a sensor 58. In addition to the above-described devices, the devices used in the facility 5 include a human sensor, a temperature / humidity sensor, a water heater, a ventilation fan, an air cleaner, an electric shutter, and the like. Further, the equipment used in the facility 5 includes a power storage system, a system hybrid power supply system that controls a plurality of power supplies, and the like. That is, the equipment used in the facility 5 is an electric device that consumes, generates, or stores electric power, and a sensor that monitors the state of the user. Hereinafter, when the individual devices are not particularly distinguished, each device is simply referred to as “device 50”.

  The output unit 12 outputs the evaluation of the facility 5. The evaluation of the facility 5 is obtained based on the usage information from the device 50 acquired by the acquisition unit 11. That is, the evaluation system 10 of the present embodiment acquires data on the usage status of the device 50 by the user of the facility 5 and evaluates what device 50 is provided in the facility 5. Then, the evaluation system 10 of this embodiment outputs the evaluation of the facility 5. The output destination of the evaluation of the facility 5 is, for example, the owner of the facility 5, the operator of the service using the facility 5, the user who wants to use the facility 5, and the like. These persons can grasp the evaluation by acquiring the evaluation of the facility 5. Thus, the evaluation system 10 of this embodiment can grasp the evaluation of the facility 5 by the owner, the operator, and the person who desires use. For example, when the owner of the facility 5 and the operator grasp the evaluation of the facility 5, it is possible to grasp an improvement point (insufficient equipment) for the person who wants to use it more frequently. In addition, a person who desires to use the service can select accommodation candidates by grasping the presence / absence of the desired equipment.

  The evaluation system 10 of the present embodiment is realized by a computer system, for example. In the present embodiment, the computer system includes a server 1 and a local device 40. In the present embodiment, the local device 40 is connected to the network 4 via the router 7, but the router 7 is not an essential component for the computer system.

  Moreover, the evaluation system 10 of this embodiment is actually introduced into the plurality of facilities 5. A plurality of devices 50 are installed in each of the plurality of facilities 5. The plurality of devices 50 are connected to the server 1 via the network 4. In the present embodiment, in order to simplify the description, the description will be given focusing on one facility 5.

(2) Details Hereinafter, the configuration of the evaluation system 10 according to the present embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

  As described above, the evaluation system 10 of this embodiment includes the server 1 and the local device 40 as main components. Further, in the present embodiment, the information terminal 3 is also described as being included in the components of the evaluation system 10.

(2.2.1) Server The server 1 mainly includes a computer having a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a memory, and a communication interface. The server 1 exchanges various information with the local device 40 via the network 4 and exchanges various information with the information terminal 3 via the network 4.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the server 1 includes an acquisition unit 11 and an output unit 12. In the present embodiment, the output unit 12 further includes an evaluation unit 13. In the present embodiment, the server 1 further includes a communication unit 14 and a storage unit 15. The server 1 having a computer as the main component causes the computer to function as the acquisition unit 11, the output unit 12, the evaluation unit 13, and the communication unit 14 by executing a predetermined program.

  The acquisition unit 11 acquires information from the device 50 used in the facility 5. As used herein, “information from the device 50” is the amount of power consumed by the facility 5 as a whole, or the amount of power consumed by a specific device 50 (for example, the air conditioner 55) of the facility 5. .

  In the present embodiment, the acquisition unit 11 acquires the measurement data of the smart meter 51 from the local device 40 periodically (for example, at intervals of 30 minutes), and acquires information about electricity by analyzing the measurement data. . That is, by accumulating the measurement data of the smart meter 51 over a certain period, a change (time series data) of the power consumption over time is observed for each of the main line and the plurality of branch circuits 70 in the facility 5. If the technique of disaggregation (Disaggregation) is applied, the power consumption of a specific device 50 can be separated from the time-series data obtained in this way.

  In the present embodiment, “information from the device 50” is the result of the operation check of the device 50 installed in the facility 5 or the detection result from the sensor as the device 50 in addition to the above-described power consumption. Etc.

  The acquisition unit 11 periodically acquires a measurement value (measurement data) related to electricity usage measured by the smart meter 51 from the local device 40 and a detection result detected by a sensor such as the noise sensor 57. In addition, the acquisition unit 11 periodically acquires information (for example, a result of the operation check) related to the device 50 installed in the facility 5 from the local device 40.

  The acquisition unit 11 extracts the power consumption (power consumption) of a specific branch circuit 70 or the device 50 from the power consumption (power consumption) of the main line or the smart meter 51 by a so-called disaggregation technique.

  The output unit 12 receives the evaluation of the facility 5 created by the evaluation unit 13 and outputs the evaluation of the facility 5. The “evaluation of the facility 5” here is an evaluation based on the presence or absence of equipment or a use environment for allowing the guest to stay with peace of mind. The output unit 12 outputs the evaluation of the facility 5 from the communication unit 14 to the information terminal 3 in response to a request from the information terminal 3 or periodically. In the present embodiment, for example, the information terminal 3A owned by a person who desires to use the facility 5 and the information terminal 3B owned by the owner or operator of the facility 5 are the output (transmission) destinations of the evaluation of the facility 5. . Further, the transmission destination is not limited to the information terminal described above, but may be a server such as an operator.

  The evaluation unit 13 evaluates the facility 5 based on information from the device 50. That is, the evaluation unit 13 analyzes what equipment 50 is installed in the facility 5 as equipment connectable to the network 4 and creates an evaluation of the facility 5 according to the analysis result. For example, the evaluation by the evaluation unit 13 is lower as the number of devices 50 that can be connected to the network 4 is smaller, and the evaluation is higher as the number of devices 50 is larger.

  For example, when the specific device 50 is a sensor such as a noise sensor 57, a smoke sensor 58, a human sensor, or a temperature / humidity sensor, the evaluation unit 13 determines whether the specific device 50 is in a predetermined period according to the monitoring status of the sensor. Evaluate the usage environment of the facility 5, especially the facility 5. For example, the evaluation of the usage environment by the evaluation unit 13 is lower as the environment of the facility 5 is worse, and is higher as the environment is better.

  When the facility 5 is provided with the electronic lock 53, the evaluation unit 13 creates an evaluation so that the evaluation regarding security is high. When the facility 5 is not provided with the electronic lock 53, the evaluation unit 13 creates an evaluation so that the evaluation regarding security is low.

  The communication unit 14 is a communication interface for performing communication with the information terminal 3 and the local device 40. In the present embodiment, the communication unit 14 is connected to the network 4 such as the Internet, and performs bidirectional communication with each of the information terminal 3 and the local device 40 via the network 4.

  The storage unit 15 stores various data acquired through communication with the local device 40. Further, the storage unit 15 stores the evaluation result of the facility 5 performed by the evaluation unit 13. Furthermore, the storage unit 15 also stores data necessary for the evaluation performed by the evaluation unit 13.

  The second communication unit 42 is a communication interface for mainly communicating with the device 50 installed in the facility 5. That is, the local device 40 has a communication function with the device 50 installed in the facility 5. The communication method between the local device 40 (second communication unit 42) and the device 50 is, for example, wired communication. The local device 40 has a function of periodically checking the operation of the device 50 by communicating with the device 50 installed in the facility 5 by the second communication unit 42.

  Note that the communication method between the local device 40 (second communication unit 42) and the device 50 is not limited to wired communication, but Wi-Fi (registered trademark) and a low-power radio that does not require a license (specific low-power radio). Wireless communication such as For this type of low-power radio, specifications such as the frequency band to be used and the antenna power are defined in each country depending on the application. In Japan, low-power radio that uses radio waves in the 920 MHz band or 420 MHz band is defined.

  The processing unit 43 acquires measurement data of the smart meter 51 through communication with the smart meter 51. Measurement data is acquired from the smart meter 51, and the acquired measurement data is temporarily stored in the storage unit. The processing unit 43 periodically transmits the measurement data of the smart meter 51 accumulated in the storage unit from the second communication unit 42 to the server 1.

  The processing unit 43 receives the result of the operation check of the device 50 or the detection result from the sensor as the device 50 from the corresponding device 50 and temporarily stores it. The processing unit 43 periodically transmits the stored operation confirmation result of the device 50 or the detection result from the sensor as the device 50 to the server 1.

  In the present embodiment, the local device 40 stores a device list including information on the device 50 to be communicated. Specifically, the local device 40, for the device 50, for example, type (smart meter 51, solar power generation system 52, electronic lock 53, etc.), an identifier (address, etc.) for identifying each device 50, and Information such as the name of the device 50 is stored in the device list. The name of the device 50 can be arbitrarily set by the user using the information terminal 3 or the like. Basically, the name of the device 50 is the place (area) where the device 50 is installed, such as “living northeast side / air conditioner”. A name that can specify both the device type and the device type is set. The device list is transmitted in response to a request from the server 1 and stored in the server 1. The device list may be a list based on information acquired from the device 50 by the local device 40 using a communication method compliant with a communication standard such as Echonet-Lite (registered trademark). When the device 50 is added, the local device 40 may acquire information from the device 50 and add it to the device list.

(2.2.3) Information terminal The information terminal 3 is a terminal having a function of accepting a user operation and a function of presenting (displaying) information to the user. The information terminal 3 mainly includes a computer having a CPU, a memory, and a communication interface. In the present embodiment, the information terminal 3A owned by a person who desires to use the facility 5 is a smartphone. In the present embodiment, the information terminal 3B owned by the owner and the operator is a personal computer.

  The information terminal 3 includes a communication unit 33 and a processing unit 34.

Further, the information terminal 3 includes at least a display unit 31 and an operation unit 32 in addition to the communication unit 33 and the processing unit 34 formed of a computer.

  The display unit 31 is configured to display a screen (image or the like) for presenting information to the user. The display part 31 is implement | achieved by image display apparatuses, such as a liquid crystal display and an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display, for example. The operation unit 32 has a function of accepting a person (user) operation. The display unit 31 and the operation unit 32 are connected to the processing unit 34. Accordingly, the display unit 31 can display a screen according to the video signal output from the processing unit 34, and an electrical signal corresponding to the operation accepted by the operation unit 32 is input to the processing unit 34.

  In the present embodiment, the information terminal 3 </ b> A is equipped with a touch panel display, and the touch panel display functions as the display unit 31 and the operation unit 32. However, the operation unit 32 is not limited to a touch panel display, and may be a keyboard, a pointing device, a mechanical switch, or the like.

(3) Operation of Evaluation System Hereinafter, an operation for evaluating the facility 5 in the evaluation system 10 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 3 and 4.

  First, the acquisition unit 11 of the server 1 provides a device list including information (device information) including the device name of the device 50 provided in the facility 5 that is an accommodation facility and from which the server 1 can acquire information directly or indirectly. A request is made to the local devices 40 of the plurality of facilities 5 (step S1).

  Each of the local devices 40 of the plurality of facilities 5 transmits a device list stored in the own device to the server 1 (step S2).

  When acquiring the device list from the plurality of local devices 40, the acquiring unit 11 stores it in the storage unit 15 as a configuration management table including each of the acquired device lists (step S3). Table 1 below shows an example of the management list. The management list includes a set of “facility” and “connected device”. The “facility” includes the name of the facility 5. The “connected device” includes a list (device list) of devices 50 that are installed in a corresponding facility and from which the server 1 can acquire information directly or indirectly. By storing the configuration management table in the storage unit 15, the server 1 manages the equipment 50 from which the server 1 can acquire information directly or indirectly for each facility 5. Note that the processing (steps S1 to S3) in which the server 1 acquires the device list may be performed periodically, or may be performed using an instruction input from the server 1 as a trigger. Or you may perform the said process by using the instruction | indication input in the information terminal 3B of the owner of the facility 5 or an operator as a trigger.

  For example, in the facility A as the facility 5, the server 1 can directly or indirectly acquire information on the smart meter 51, the security camera 54, the electronic lock 53, the air conditioner 55, the lighting fixture 56, and the solar power generation system 52. Equipment 50 is provided. The E facility as the facility 5 does not include the device 50 from which the server 1 can acquire information directly or indirectly. “-” In Table 1 means that nothing is stored (described) in the corresponding column.

  Next, the operation of the evaluation system 10 when the facility 5 is evaluated will be described. In the present embodiment, a facility evaluation table shown in Table 2 below is stored in the storage unit 15 as data used for evaluation. Furthermore, the configuration management table described above is also stored. “-” In Table 2 means that, as in Table 1, nothing is stored (described) in the corresponding column.

  As shown in Table 2, the facility evaluation table includes evaluation values, configuration requirements, and seven-level evaluation values (A +, A−, A,...) And device combinations. In this embodiment, the evaluation values are A +, A−, A, B +, B−, B, and C, and the evaluation is lowered in this order.

  The evaluation unit 13 compares the configuration management table with the facility evaluation table and performs an evaluation (comprehensive evaluation) on the combination (device configuration) of the devices 50 installed in the facility 5 for each facility 5 (step S10, S11). For example, the facility A as the facility 5 includes a smart meter, a security camera, an electronic lock, an air conditioner, a lighting fixture, and a solar power generator. Therefore, the combination of the devices 50 included in the facility A included in the configuration management table is collated with the facility evaluation table. The evaluation unit 13 obtains an evaluation value “A +” as an evaluation result for the A facility. Here, the evaluation based on the presence / absence of the smart meter 51 may be the presence / absence of the smart meter 51 itself, or the presence / absence of a device capable of acquiring information from the smart meter 51 (smart meter-related device). The evaluation of the presence / absence of the smart meter 51 may be performed not only based on the presence / absence of the smart meter 51 or the smart meter-related device, but also based on the presence / absence of a measurement system that measures the power consumption of the trunk of the facility 5 or the branch circuit. By installing the smart meter 51 (smart meter-related device) or the measurement system in the facility 5, the amount of electric power used by the guest can be monitored. Therefore, from the viewpoint of the owner and operator of the facility 5, the evaluation of the facility 5 changes depending on whether or not the smart meter 51 is installed in the facility 5 in order to evaluate the use situation of the guest. In addition, since a security camera is installed in the facility 5, it is possible to monitor the presence or absence of troubles with neighboring residents. Therefore, also from the viewpoint of the owner and operator of the facility 5 in order to evaluate the use situation of the guest, the evaluation of the facility 5 changes depending on whether or not the security camera 54 is installed in the facility 5.

  When the evaluation unit 13 evaluates all the facilities 5 included in the configuration management table, the evaluation result is stored in the storage unit 15 as an evaluation result table shown in Table 3 below (step S12). Table 3 shows the evaluation results of the A facility to the E facility using Table 1 and Table 2.

  In response to a request from the information terminal 3, the output unit 12 outputs (transmits) the data of the facility evaluation table stored in the storage unit 15 to the information terminal 3 (step S13). The information terminal 3 displays the facility evaluation table received from the server 1 on the display unit 31. The processing unit 34 of the information terminal 3 creates the evaluation screen 100 by processing the data received by the communication unit 33 and causes the display unit 31 to display the created evaluation screen 100 as shown in FIG. The evaluation screen 100 includes an evaluation for each facility 5 as shown in FIG. The owner and operator of the facility 5 can use the evaluation screen 100 to grasp the evaluation of the facility 5 managed (operated) by the facility 5 itself. In addition, a person who desires to use can use the evaluation screen 100 when considering an accommodation destination.

  Moreover, the evaluation part 13 can evaluate for every some item (evaluation item) used as the basis for obtaining evaluation (overall evaluation) mentioned above. Evaluation items include, for example, security level, comfort level, management level, and the like.

  The degree of security is evaluated based on, for example, whether or not the electronic lock 53 is installed and whether or not the security camera 54 is installed. When both the electronic lock 53 and the security camera 54 are installed in the facility 5, the evaluation unit 13 obtains the highest evaluation value (for example, A +) as the security degree evaluation. When neither the electronic lock 53 nor the security camera 54 is installed in the facility 5, the evaluation unit 13 obtains the lowest evaluation value (for example, C) as the security degree evaluation. When only one of the electronic lock 53 and the security camera 54 is installed in the facility 5, the evaluation unit 13 obtains an intermediate evaluation value (for example, B +) as the security degree evaluation. The evaluation unit 13 may make the evaluation of the security level different between the case where only the electronic lock 53 is installed in the facility 5 and the case where only one of the security cameras 54 is installed.

  The comfort level is evaluated based on, for example, whether or not the air conditioner 55 is installed. When the air conditioner 55 is installed in the facility 5, the evaluation unit 13 obtains the highest evaluation value (for example, A +) as the comfort level evaluation. When the air conditioner 55 is not installed in the facility 5, the evaluation unit 13 obtains the lowest evaluation value (for example, C) as the comfort level evaluation. The comfort level may be evaluated based on not only the presence / absence of the air conditioner 55 but also the detection of the presence / absence of the odor by the odor sensor or the detection of the air quality by the air cleaner.

  The management degree is evaluated based on, for example, whether or not the smart meter 51 is installed. When the smart meter 51 is installed in the facility 5, the evaluation unit 13 obtains the highest evaluation value (for example, A +) as the management degree evaluation. When the smart meter 51 is not installed in the facility 5, the evaluation unit 13 obtains the lowest evaluation value (for example, C) as the management degree evaluation.

  The evaluation unit 13 stores the evaluation result for each evaluation item in the storage unit 15.

  In response to a request from the information terminal 3, the output unit 12 transmits the evaluation result of at least one evaluation item among the evaluation results of the plurality of evaluation items stored in the storage unit 15 to the information terminal 3, The information is displayed on the display unit 31 of the information terminal 3. The processing unit 34 of the information terminal 3 creates the evaluation screen 200 by processing the data received by the communication unit 33, and causes the display unit 31 to display the created evaluation screen 100 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the evaluation screen 100 includes evaluation results of evaluation items for a plurality of facilities 5. The owner and the operator of the facility 5 can use the evaluation screen 200 in order to grasp the evaluation result of the evaluation items managed (operated) by the facility 5 itself. Moreover, the person who desires to use can use the evaluation screen 200 in order to know the evaluation result for the evaluation item that should be given the highest priority when considering the accommodation.

  Further, the evaluation unit 13 may evaluate the facility 5 by combining two or more evaluation items. For example, the facility 5 is evaluated using the average value of two or more evaluation items as the evaluation value of the facility 5. The evaluation unit 13 obtains B + as the evaluation value of the facility 5 when the evaluation value of the comfort level is A + and the evaluation value of the security is C. The evaluation unit 13 obtains A− or A as the evaluation value of the facility 5 when the evaluation value of the comfort level is A + and the evaluation value of the security level is B +.

  Further, the evaluation unit 13 can evaluate the usage environment of the facility 5 using the information of the device 50. For example, the evaluation unit 13 evaluates the usage environment of the facility 5 using the detection result (environment information) included in the information from the sensor as the device 50. Assume that at least one of a noise sensor 57, a temperature / humidity sensor, and a human sensor is installed in the facility 5 as a sensor from which the server 1 can acquire information directly or indirectly. When the noise sensor 57 detects a sound pressure level equal to or higher than the reference value around the facility 5, the evaluation regarding the sleep environment is low. When the temperature / humidity sensor detects high temperature and high humidity in the facility 5 at night, the evaluation regarding the sleep environment becomes low. In addition, the evaluation of the security environment is lower as the human sensor frequently detects people around the facility 5 at night, and the evaluation of security is higher as the frequency of detecting people is lower.

  The evaluation unit 13 stores the evaluation result for the usage environment of the facility 5 in the storage unit 15.

  In response to a request from the information terminal 3, the output unit 12 transmits an evaluation result on the use environment of the facility 5 stored in the storage unit 15 to the information terminal 3, and displays it on the display unit 31 of the information terminal 3. Display. The output unit 12 may display the evaluation results for the usage environment for each of various environments such as a sleep environment and a security environment, or may display a comprehensive evaluation result based on the evaluation results for various environments. .

  Note that the evaluation unit 13 may evaluate the security environment as described above, in addition to the evaluation based on the presence / absence of the electronic lock 53 and the presence / absence of the security camera 54, in addition to the evaluation related to the security environment. Good. Moreover, the evaluation part 13 may add evaluation regarding the sleep environment mentioned above about the evaluation of the comfort level which is an evaluation item in addition to the evaluation based on the presence or absence of the installation of the air conditioner 55.

  In addition, the evaluation unit 13 determines the movement (behavior) of a person (accommodator, owner (manager), or operator) related to the facility 5 from the information of the device 50, and the facility 5 is based on the determined behavior. An evaluation may be performed. When the human sensor is provided in the facility 5, the movement (action) of the guest at night is detected from the human sensor. When the human sensor detects the movement of the guest frequently, the evaluation unit 13 determines that the person is not comfortably sleeping and lowers the evaluation of the comfort level of the facility 5. When the human sensor does not frequently detect the movement of the guest, the evaluation unit 13 determines that the person is sleeping comfortably and increases the comfort level of the facility 5.

  When the security camera 54 is provided in the facility 5 and an image captured by the security camera 54 is transmitted to the server 1, the evaluation unit 13 determines whether or not an administrator is included in the captured image. To do. The evaluation unit 13 evaluates the facility 5 according to the determination result. For example, the evaluation of the facility 5 is high when the manager is included in the photographed image, and the evaluation of the facility 5 is low when it is not included.

  Further, the evaluation unit 13 may obtain one result by combining information on a certain device and information on another device, and may evaluate the facility 5 based on the obtained result. For example, a case where a smoke sensor 58 and an odor sensor (or an air purifier) are installed in the facility 5 will be described. The evaluation unit 13 determines the response of the owner (administrator) or the operator of the facility 5 based on the fact that the smoke sensor 58 detects smoke and that the odor sensor no longer detects odor generated after smoke detection. To do. The evaluation unit 13 evaluates the facility 5 based on the determination result. In addition, when judging the correspondence of the owner (manager) or the operator of the facility 5, it is preferable to consider detection time information described later.

  Further, the evaluation unit 13 may evaluate the facility 5 based on the information on the device 50 and information (time information) indicating a period related to acquisition of the information on the device 50. For example, when a guest cooks, the odor of the dish (food) may fill the facility 5. In such a case, the owner or operator of the facility 5 implements measures such as cleaning to remove odors. Therefore, when the odor sensor is installed in the facility 5, the evaluation unit 13 detects the odor of the dish (food) with the odor sensor and detects the odor as the detection time information. The facility 5 may be evaluated in combination with the detection result of the odor sensor. The shorter the time from detection of the odor of cooking (food) to the end of detection of the odor, the better the response of the facility 5 owner or operator, and the higher the evaluation. On the other hand, the longer the time from detection of a odor of a dish (food) until the detection of that odor is determined, the lower the evaluation of the facility 5 owner or operator, and the lower the evaluation. The evaluation unit 13 obtains the period from when the sensor acquires the first detection result to the acquisition of the second detection result as the above-described time information (detection period information), so that the owner or operator of the facility 5 Evaluation of the facility 5 regarding correspondence becomes possible.

  As another example, when an air purifier is installed, the evaluation unit 13 uses the time from detection of air dirt by the air cleaner until no dirt is detected as detection time information. The facility 5 may be evaluated in combination with the detection result of the purifier.

  As another example, there may be a case in which a law (business period) determines a period (business period) in which a facility where the landlord is absent can be used as a private accommodation facility. In such a case, the evaluation unit 13 determines whether or not the facility 5 complies with laws and the like using the information on the device 50 and the business period, and evaluates the facility 5 based on the result. For example, when the lighting device 56 from which the server 1 can acquire information directly or indirectly is installed in the facility 5, the evaluation unit 13 performs lighting based on information related to the operation (on, off) of the lighting device 56. The number of days in which the appliance 56 is operating is obtained as time information. When the smart meter 51 from which the server 1 can acquire information directly or indirectly is installed in the facility 5, the evaluation unit 13 uses the number of days in which power is used from the measurement result of the smart meter 51. Ask for. Specifically, since it is necessary to consider standby power, the evaluation unit 13 obtains the number of days in which power is used exceeding a predetermined amount as the number of days used. The evaluation unit 13 compares the obtained number of days of use (time information) with the business period to determine whether or not the laws and regulations are being observed. For example, if the number of days used is within the business period, it is determined that the facility 5 complies with laws and regulations, and if the number of days used exceeds the business period, the facility 5 does not comply with laws and regulations. to decide. The evaluation unit 13 evaluates the facility 5 based on the determination result. The evaluation of the facility 5 is high when the laws are observed, and the evaluation of the facility 5 is low when the laws are not observed. The evaluation unit 13 obtains a period (number of days of use) during which the device 50 is operating as time information related to information related to the operation of the device 50, thereby evaluating the facility 5 based on the business period defined by laws and regulations. Is possible.

(4) Other Application Examples In the above embodiment, an example in which the evaluation system 10 is applied to an accommodation facility that provides a private accommodation service has been described. The evaluation system 10 may be applied to accommodation facilities such as hotels and inns as well as accommodation facilities that provide private lodging services. In addition to these accommodation facilities, the present invention may be applied to restaurants, sports gyms, elderly housing with services, hospitals, private schools, amusement facilities, parking lots, and the like.

  Evaluation items differ depending on the type of facility. In the accommodation facility, the server 1 stores the facility evaluation table as shown in Table 2 in the storage unit 15 in order to evaluate the security, comfort, and the presence / absence of use of electric power if the evaluation object is an accommodation facility. ing. For example, it is preferable that restaurants, private schools, etc. evaluate security and comfort. Therefore, the server 1 uses a facility evaluation table different from the facility evaluation table in Table 2 to evaluate restaurants and private schools.

  In facilities 5 such as restaurants, sports gyms, elderly homes with services, and hospitals, a time recorder that manages time card attendance is installed, and the server 1 can acquire information directly or indirectly. In this case, the evaluation unit 13 estimates the number of employees based on the number of times printed at the time recorder. The evaluation unit 13 evaluates the facility 5 based on the number of employees. When providing the user with an evaluation of the facility 5 based on the number of employees, if the number of employees is small, there is a possibility that the service may not be achieved, so the evaluation of the facility 5 is low. If the number of employees is large, there is a possibility that the service will be sufficiently delivered, so that the evaluation of the facility 5 becomes high.

  In facilities 5 such as restaurants, sports gyms, elderly housing with services, and hospitals, employees wear sensors that detect the amount of user activity such as wearable sensors. At this time, it is assumed that the server 1 can directly or indirectly acquire information from the sensor. For example, the sensor detects an employee's movement (movement amount), the number of steps, and the like, and transmits it to the server 1. The server evaluates the facility 5 based on the detection result of the sensor. When evaluating the facility 5 based on the detection result of the sensor, the evaluation provided to the user (customer, patient, elderly person, etc.) using the facility 5 is different from the evaluation provided to those who want to work at the facility 5. . For example, the evaluation for a hospital will be described. When providing evaluations to users (patients), the higher the amount of employee movement, the higher the possibility of receiving sufficient services, so the evaluation is higher. On the other hand, the smaller the amount of employee movement, the lower the evaluation because it is less likely to receive sufficient services. On the other hand, when providing an evaluation to a person who wants to work in a hospital, the greater the amount of movement of employees, the lower the evaluation because it is considered to be hard work. On the other hand, the smaller the amount of employee movement, the higher the evaluation because it is not considered hard work.

  Moreover, in a parking lot, evaluation is performed by the presence or absence of installation of a security camera, for example. For example, when a security camera is installed, the evaluation of the parking lot is high because crime prevention measures are taken. Conversely, if a security camera is not installed, the parking lot evaluation is low because security measures are not taken.
