FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of calculation processing according to the embodiment. In the example of FIG. 1, the user moves from a predetermined position (hereinafter, also referred to as “location floor”) to a predetermined destination (hereinafter, “destination floor” in a predetermined facility where the calculation apparatus 100 (see FIG. 2) has multiple floors. Calculate the cost for each route in the move to The example of FIG. 1 shows the case where the predetermined facility is the facility FA1 identified by the facility ID “FA1”. For example, facility FA1 is a 30-storey building, and is a facility in which two elevators, elevator EV1 and elevator EV2, are installed, and stairs ST1 capable of moving from the first floor to the 30th floor are installed. In the following, various types of information related to the facility FA1 such as the information related to the installation elevator and the information related to the stairs as described above may be described as "facility information". In addition, in the example of FIG. 1, in order to simplify description, although the case where two elevators EV1 and elevator EV2 are installed in facility FA1 is explained, even if three or more elevators are installed in facility FA1. Good.

[Configuration of calculation system]
Prior to the description of FIG. 1, the configuration of the calculation system 1 will be described using FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a calculation system according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the calculation system 1 includes a terminal device 10 and a calculation device 100. The terminal device 10 and the computing device 100 are communicably connected by wire or wireless via a predetermined network N. The calculation system 1 illustrated in FIG. 2 may include a plurality of terminal devices 10 and a plurality of calculation devices 100.

  The terminal device 10 is an information processing device used by a user. The terminal device 10 is realized by, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a notebook PC (Personal Computer), a desktop PC, a mobile phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or the like. FIG. 1 shows the case where the terminal device 10 is a smartphone. In addition, the terminal device 10 has a function such as a GPS (Global Positioning System) sensor or the like, and can detect and obtain the position of the user. Further, the terminal device 10 has various functions such as a temperature sensor and an air pressure sensor, and can acquire various sensor information. For example, the terminal device 10 transmits the acquired sensor information to the calculation device 100. In the example of FIG. 1, the case where the user is the user U1 identified by the user ID "U1" will be described.

  Further, the terminal device 10 used by the user transmits various types of information to the calculation device 100 according to the operation of the user. For example, the terminal device 10 transmits various types of information to the calculation device 100 according to the user's operation. For example, according to the user's input of the information indicating the destination, the information on the destination is transmitted to the computing device 100. In response to the user's input of information indicating the destination of movement, information on the destination of movement is transmitted to the computing device 100. For example, the terminal device 10 transmits various types of information to the calculation device 100 according to the voice input of the user. For example, the terminal device 10 transmits various types of information to the calculation device 100 according to the user's operation. For example, the terminal device 10 may transmit the position information of the user at that time and information indicating the movement destination to the calculation device 100 as movement schedule information.

  The calculation device 100 is an information processing that calculates, based on the movement schedule information and the facility information, a movement cost which is a cost generated when the user moves by each route that the user can take for the movement from the location floor to the destination floor. It is an apparatus. For example, as described above, the calculation device 100 may acquire the movement schedule information from the terminal device 10. In addition, in the calculation device 100, a predetermined external device may acquire movement schedule information.

  For example, even if the calculation apparatus 100 acquires schedule information of an employee of the company X as movement schedule information of the user from a management apparatus or the like of a company (hereinafter, also referred to as “company X”) located in the facility FA1. Good. For example, the computing device 100 may estimate where and when each user moves based on the schedule information of the employees (users) of the company X. For example, the calculation apparatus 100 may acquire movement schedule information indicating when and where the user moves, based on the information on the location and time of the meeting room of the meeting in which the user participates, which is included in the schedule information of the user. .

  For example, the calculation apparatus 100 may acquire information on the location of the user, action information on the user, and the like from various sensors and the like installed in the facility FA1. For example, the calculation device 100 may acquire information indicating the floor of the user identified based on the image information detected by the image sensor installed in the facility FA1. Note that the analysis of the image information detected by the image sensor may be performed by the calculation device 100, or may be performed by another external device.

  The calculation device 100 may estimate the destination of the user based on the user's action history or the like. For example, the calculation apparatus 100 estimates that the moving destination in the predetermined time zone of the user who moves to the specific floor (for example, 15th floor) in the predetermined time zone (for example, 9:00 AM) is the specific floor. You may For example, when the user moves to a floor (e.g., the first floor) where the vending machine is located at a predetermined time (e.g., 13 o'clock) every day, the calculation apparatus 100 automatically sells the moving destination of the user at the predetermined time. It may be estimated that the aircraft is on a floor.

  For example, calculation device 100 may acquire the information which shows the number of people waiting for the elevator of each floor presumed based on the image information which the image sensor installed in the elevator hall of each floor of facility FA1 detected. Also, for example, the calculation apparatus 100 may acquire facility information of the facility FA1 from a management device or the like of the facility FA1. The calculation apparatus 100 may acquire the movement schedule information and the facility information by any means as long as the movement schedule information and the facility information can be acquired.

  From here, the flow of the calculation process will be described using FIG. As described above, facility FA1 shown in FIG. 1 is a 30-storey building, and two elevators, elevator EV1 and elevator EV2, are installed, and stairs ST11 capable of moving from the first floor to the 30th floor are installed Facilities. Further, in the facility FA1, the elevator EV1 is located on the 16th floor and the elevator EV2 is located on the 13th floor. In addition, in the facility FA1, there is a matrix WP1 in which 10 people are waiting for elevators on the first floor, and a case in which there is a matrix WP2 in which 5 people are waiting for elevators on the second floor.

  Then, the calculation apparatus 100 acquires movement schedule information of the user U1 (step S11). The calculation apparatus 100 acquires information identifying the user U1, information indicating the floor where the user U1 is located, and information indicating the floor to which the user U1 is moving as movement schedule information. For example, the calculation apparatus 100 acquires the movement schedule information of the user U1 from the terminal device 10 used by the user U1. For example, the calculation apparatus 100 may acquire information indicating the floor of the movement destination of the user U1 from the terminal device 10 by inputting information indicating the floor of the movement destination to the terminal device 10 used by the user U1. In addition, the calculation apparatus 100 does not acquire information indicating the floor of the movement destination from the terminal device 10 of the user U1, but based on the action history of the user U1, information regarding the location floor, etc., the floor of the movement destination of the user U1 is It may be estimated. Moreover, in the example of FIG. 1, the case where the location floor of the user U1 is the 15th floor is shown. For example, the calculation apparatus 100 may specify that the user U1 is located on the fifteenth floor of the facility FA1 by a sensor installed on the fifteenth floor of the facility FA1.

  Then, when the calculation apparatus 100 acquires the movement schedule information of the user U1 indicating that the location floor of the user U1 is the 15th floor and the floor of the movement destination of the user U1 is the 13th floor, the facility FA1 at the time of acquisition The movement cost of each route is calculated based on the facility information of

  First, the calculation apparatus 100 extracts information indicating a route movable from the 15th floor to the 13th floor in the facility FA1 (step S12). For example, based on the information stored in the facility information storage unit 122 or the elevator information storage unit 123, the calculation apparatus 100 acquires a route that can move from the 15th floor to the 13th floor in the facility FA1.

  The “facility ID” shown in the facility information storage unit 122 in FIG. 1 indicates identification information for identifying the facility. For example, the facility identified by the facility ID “FA1” corresponds to the facility FA1 illustrated in the example of FIG. 1. Further, “installed elevator” shown in the facility information storage unit 122 in FIG. 1 indicates an elevator installed in the facility identified by the facility ID. In addition, “a stair usable floor” shown in the facility information storage unit 122 in FIG. 1 indicates a floor that can be moved by stairs in the facility identified by the facility ID. Further, “waiting number information” shown in the facility information storage unit 122 in FIG. 1 indicates the number of people waiting for the elevator on each floor.

  For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the facility (facility FA1) identified by the facility ID “FA1” indicates that the elevator EV1 and the elevator EV2 have two elevators. In addition, the facility FA1 indicates that it is possible to move by stairs from the first floor to the 30th floor. Also, the facility FA1 indicates that the number of people waiting for the elevator on the first floor is "10". Further, the facility FA1 indicates that the number of waiting persons for the elevator on the second floor is "5".

  The “facility ID” shown in the elevator information storage unit 123 in FIG. 1 indicates identification information for identifying a facility. For example, the facility identified by the facility ID “FA1” corresponds to the facility FA1 illustrated in the example of FIG. 1. Further, “elevator ID” shown in the elevator information storage unit 123 in FIG. 1 indicates identification information for identifying an elevator. For example, the elevator identified by the elevator ID “EV1” corresponds to the elevator EV1 shown in the example of FIG.

  The “stop floor” shown in the elevator information storage unit 123 in FIG. 1 indicates the floor at which the corresponding elevator stops. Further, “current position (floor)” shown in the elevator information storage unit 123 in FIG. 1 indicates the floor where the corresponding elevator is located at that time. In addition, “destination (floor)” shown in the elevator information storage unit 123 in FIG. 1 indicates the floor that the corresponding elevator serves as the final goal at that time. Further, “the number of occupants” shown in the elevator information storage unit 123 in FIG. 1 indicates the number of people who are at that time in the corresponding elevator. The “capacity” shown in the elevator information storage unit 123 in FIG. 1 indicates the capacity of the corresponding elevator.

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 1, the facility (facility FA1) identified by the facility ID “FA1” is the elevator (elevator EV1) identified by the elevator ID “EV1” and the elevator identified by the elevator ID “EV2” (Elevator EV2) is shown. Further, the elevator EV1 indicates that the stop floor is the first floor and the 14th floor to the 30th floor. For example, the elevator EV1 is an elevator for a high floor in the facility FA1. Further, the elevator EV1 indicates that the current position is on the 16th floor. Further, the elevator EV1 indicates that the moving destination is the 14th floor. Further, the elevator EV1 indicates that there is one passenger. In addition, the elevator EV1 indicates that the capacity is 20 people (X km).

  As described above, the elevator identified by the elevator ID “EV1” may be referred to as “elevator EV1”. Thus, when "elevator EV * (* is any numerical value)" is written, it indicates that the elevator is an elevator identified by elevator ID "EV *". For example, when "elevator EV2" is described, the elevator is an elevator identified by elevator ID "EV2".

  Further, the elevator EV2 indicates that the stop floor is from the first floor to the 14th floor. For example, the elevator EV2 is an elevator for a lower floor in the facility FA1. Further, the elevator EV2 indicates that the current position is on the 13th floor. Further, the elevator EV2 indicates that the movement destination is the first floor. Further, the elevator EV2 indicates that there are two occupants. Further, the elevator EV2 indicates that the capacity is 20 people (X km).

  As described above, in the example of FIG. 1, the calculation apparatus 100 calculates the movement cost for the facility FA1 provided with the plurality of elevators EV1 and EV2 in which different stop floors are set. The elevators are not limited to single decks such as the elevators EV1 and EV2, but may be various types of elevators such as double deck elevators.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the calculation apparatus 100 acquires four routes of route RT1, route RT2, route RT3, and route RT4 as shown in the route list RL11.

  As described above, the RT identified by the route ID “RT1” may be referred to as “route RT1”. Thus, when “route RT * (* is any numerical value)” is described, it indicates that the route is a route identified by the route ID “RT *”. For example, when “route RT2” is described, the route is a route identified by the route ID “RT2”.

  As described above, in the example of FIG. 1, the calculation apparatus 100 acquires the route RT1 for moving all the floors 15 to 13 by the elevator based on the information stored in the facility information storage unit 122 or the elevator information storage unit 123. Do. Further, in the example of FIG. 1, the calculation apparatus 100 moves the elevator from the 15th floor to the 14th floor by the elevator based on the information stored in the facility information storage unit 122 or the elevator information storage unit 123, and the 14th floor to the 13th floor. Get the route RT2 to move in the stairs. Further, in the example of FIG. 1, the calculation device 100 moves from the 15th floor to the 14th floor by stairs based on the information stored in the facility information storage unit 122 or the elevator information storage unit 123, and from the 14th floor to the 13th floor. The route RT3 to move by the elevator is acquired. Further, in the example of FIG. 1, the calculation device 100 acquires a route RT4 that moves from the 15th floor to the 13th floor in steps based on the information stored in the facility information storage unit 122 and the elevator information storage unit 123.

  Then, the calculation apparatus 100 calculates the movement cost for each of the routes RT1 to RT4 based on the information stored in the facility information storage unit 122 or the elevator information storage unit 123 (step S13). For example, as illustrated in the cost list CL11, the calculation apparatus 100 calculates the movement cost of the user U1 for each of the routes RT1 to RT4. In the example of FIG. 1, the calculation apparatus 100 calculates the movement cost for each of the routes RT1 to RT4 using the following equation (1).

  “Movement_cost” in the left side of the above equation (1) indicates the movement cost of the user when moving along one route. Further, “mental_cost” in the right side of the above equation (1) indicates the weight of the user corresponding to the psychological cost of the user when moving along one route. Further, “external_cost” in the right side of the above equation (1) is the user corresponding to other costs (hereinafter also referred to as “external cost”) other than the user's psychological cost when moving along one route Indicates the weight. For example, the external cost may include a transportation cost based on the amount of power consumed by movement on one route of the user. For example, shipping costs may include the various costs required to ship to the destination of the user. Also, for example, “external_cost” may include various costs other than the psychological cost of the user. Further, when the calculation device 100 calculates the movement cost based on only the psychological cost of the user, the external cost may be “0”.

  For example, external costs, including costs based on the amount of power consumed by travel, are higher for routes that make more use of elevators. For example, in the example of FIG. 1, among the routes RT1 to RT4, the external cost of the route RT1 using the elevators from the 15th floor to the 13th floor is the highest. Further, for example, in the example of FIG. 1, the external cost of the route RT4 using the stairs from the 15th floor to the 13th floor among the routes RT1 to RT4 is the lowest. Note that the calculation of the external cost described above is an example, and the calculation device 100 may calculate the external cost of each route based on various external cost calculation criteria and the like. Also, in the following, for the sake of simplicity, the external cost of each of the routes RT1 to RT4 is described as “0”.

  Moreover, in the example of FIG. 1, the calculation apparatus 100 calculates the psychological cost of the user U1 for each of the routes RT1 to RT4 using the following equation (2). The following equation (2) is an example, and the calculation apparatus 100 may calculate the psychological cost of the user U1 using another calculation method.

  “Mental_cost” in the left side of the above equation (2) indicates the psychological cost of the user when moving along one route. Further, the predetermined function “f ()” (hereinafter also referred to as “psychological cost function f”) in the right side of the above equation (2) outputs the psychological cost of the user by inputting various information. Function.

  For example, "Route" indicates information identifying which route. For example, the example of FIG. 1 indicates which of the routes RT1 to RT4 the route is. Also, for example, “Inf (U)” indicates user information of the corresponding user. For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the user information of the user U1 is shown.

  Also, for example, “S (U)” indicates the floor where the corresponding user is located. For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the 15th floor, which is the floor where the user U1 is located, is shown. Also, for example, “G (U)” indicates the floor of the movement destination of the corresponding user. For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the 13th floor which is the floor of the movement destination of the user U1 is shown.

  Also, for example, “Pos (E)” indicates the floor at which each elevator is located at the time of calculation. For example, "Pos (E)" is information including the floor at the time of calculation of each elevator. "Pos (E)" may include information indicating that the elevator EV1 is located on the 16th floor, and information indicating that the elevator EV2 is located on the 13th floor. In addition, in "Pos (E)", the destination of the elevator EV1 is on the 14th floor, the information indicating that there is one occupant, and the destination of the elevator EV2 is on the first floor, and there are two occupants. Information indicating that may be included.

  Also, for example, “Num (Floor)” indicates the number of people waiting for the elevator at each floor at the time of calculation. For example, “Num (Floor)” is information including the number of people waiting at the calculation time of each floor. “Num (Floor)” is information indicating that there are 10 people waiting on the first floor, Information may be included indicating that there are 5 waiting people on the second floor.

  When the above-described information is input, the psychological cost function f of the above equation (2) is a case where the user moves along the input route based on the input route, user attribute information, and the like. Calculate the psychological cost of the user. For example, the psychological cost function f of the above equation (2) has a psychological cost of the user as the moving time based on the input route, the position of each elevator input and the waiting number of elevators on each floor increases. You may output high. For example, the psychological cost function f may be generated as appropriate using various conventional methods such as linear programming. For example, the calculation device 100 may obtain feedback of an evaluation regarding movement from the user who has moved in the facility FA1, and may update the psychological cost function f based on the information.

  Note that the calculation device 100 may use information to input the estimated travel time to the above equation (2). In this case, the calculation apparatus 100 estimates the moving time when the user moves along the route based on the route, the position of each elevator, and the number of waiting people of the elevator on each floor, and inputs it to the above equation (2). It is also good. For example, the calculation device 100 may estimate the moving time from one floor to another floor based on history information on the moving time of the elevator from one floor to another floor. For example, calculation device 100 may estimate an average of past elevator travel times from one floor to another floor as travel times from one floor to another floor.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the elevator EV2 used for moving from the 14th floor to the 13th floor by the route RT1 and the route RT3 is moving from the 13th floor to the first floor. In addition, there are 10 waiting people on the first floor, which is the stop floor of the elevator EV2, and 5 waiting people on the second floor. Therefore, it takes a long time for elevator EV2 to arrive at the 14th floor where user U1 rides on elevator EV2. Therefore, the psychological cost function f of the above equation (2) corresponds to various input information such that the psychological cost of the routes RT1 and RT3 using the elevator EV2 to move from the 14th floor to the 13th floor is high. Output numerical value.

  Further, in the example of FIG. 1, the elevator EV1 used for moving from the 15th floor to the 14th floor by the route RT1 and the route RT2 is moving from the 16th floor to the 14th floor. Therefore, the elevator EV1 is a floor where the user U1 is located, and the user U1 arrives at the 15th floor on which the elevator EV1 rides in a short time. Therefore, the psychological cost function f of the above equation (2) is adapted to various input information so that the psychological cost of the routes RT1 and RT2 using the elevator EV1 to move from the 15th floor to the 14th floor is low. Output numerical value.

  Further, in the example of FIG. 1, when moving in the step ST11 as in the route RT2 or the route RT4, the calculation device 100 calculates the psychological cost of the user U1 according to the amount of exercise of the user U1. For example, the calculation apparatus 100 calculates the psychological cost of the user U1 based on the information such as the movement distance and the number of steps by walking of the user U1 estimated according to the number of floors the user U1 moves in the stairs ST11. For example, the psychological cost function f in the above equation (2) is various so that the user's mental cost increases because the user's amount of exercise increases as the number of moving floors in the user's stairs increases. Output a numerical value according to the input information of.

  The psychological cost function f of the above equation (2) outputs numerical values such that the user's psychological cost decreases as the user travels in the elevator and the amount of movement by the user moving on the stairs decreases. Do. The psychological cost function f of the above equation (2) outputs numerical values so that the user's psychological cost increases as the user travels in the elevator longer and the amount of movement by the user moving on the stairs increases. Do. In addition, the calculation apparatus 100 may change the rate at which the psychological cost increases due to the increase of the movement time, or the rate at which the psychological cost increases due to the increase of the exercise amount user based on various information such as attribute information. .

  For example, the calculation apparatus 100 can increase the rate at which the psychological cost increases due to the increase in the movement time for users with high job levels (for example, users with “LV5” or higher), and the rate at which the psychological cost increases due to the increase in exercise amount. You may also enlarge it. Further, for example, the calculation apparatus 100 increases the rate at which the psychological cost increases due to the increase of the movement time, and the psychological cost increases due to the increase of the exercise amount for users with high movement difficulty factors (for example, users with “LV3” or more) It may be larger than the ratio of Note that the above is an example, and the calculation apparatus 100 may calculate the psychological cost of the user using various information as appropriate.

  For example, the calculation device 100 may calculate the psychological cost based on the moving time using the first correspondence table of the moving time and the predetermined score. For example, the calculation apparatus 100 uses the first correspondence table in which the score increases by a predetermined value (for example, “1”) every time the movement time increases by a predetermined unit time (for example, “30 seconds” or the like). And a psychological cost based on the traveling time (hereinafter, also referred to as a “first psychological cost”) may be calculated. For example, the calculation device 100 may store, in the storage unit 120, a first correspondence table of the movement time and the predetermined score.

  Also, for example, the calculation device 100 may use a second correspondence table in which the score increases by a predetermined value (for example, “1.5”) every time the exercise amount increases by a predetermined unit amount (for example, “10 kcal”). May be used to calculate the psychological cost based on the amount of exercise. Also, for example, the calculation device 100 may increase the score by a predetermined value (for example, “0.2” or the like) every time the user's step counts increase by a predetermined unit amount (for example, “10 steps” or the like The psychological cost based on the amount of exercise (hereinafter, also referred to as “second psychological cost”) may be calculated using the correspondence table. For example, the calculation device 100 may store, in the storage unit 120, a second correspondence table of the amount of exercise and a predetermined score. Also, for example, the calculation device 100 may set the sum of the first psychological cost and the second psychological cost as the psychological cost. Also, for example, the calculation device 100 may be a value obtained by multiplying the first psychological cost by a predetermined weight (first weight), and a second psychological cost may be multiplied by a weight (second weight) different from the first weight. The sum with the value may be used as the psychological cost.

  For example, when the type of elevator is a double-deck elevator, the calculation device 100 may increase the psychological cost of the user such that the user's psychological cost is high for a route including a floor where the elevator door is not opened even if the elevator stops. May be calculated. Also, for example, if it is estimated that the user can not get on the elevator due to, for example, the capacity over, even if the elevator arrives at the user's location floor, the calculation device 100 may be psychologically expensive. Cost may be calculated. For example, the calculation apparatus 100 acquires image information detected by an image sensor installed in the elevator, and it is estimated that the user can not get on the elevator based on information such as the number of people in the elevator and the number of people waiting on each floor. In this case, the psychological cost may be calculated so that the psychological cost of the user is high.

  As described above, in the example of FIG. 1, the calculation device 100 calculates the movement cost of the user U1 for each of the routes RT1 to RT4 using the above-described Expression (1) and Expression (2). In the example of FIG. 1, as shown in the cost list CL11, the calculation apparatus 100 calculates the movement cost of the route RT1 as "10", calculates the movement cost of the route RT2 as "4", and the movement cost of the route RT3. Is calculated as “15”, and the movement cost of the route RT 4 is calculated as “8”.

  Then, based on the calculated movement costs of the routes RT1 to RT4, the calculation apparatus 100 determines a suggestion route that provides information to the user U1 as a route recommended to be used for movement from the 15th floor to the 13th floor ( Step S14). In the example of FIG. 1, the calculation apparatus 100 determines, of the routes RT1 to RT4, the route RT2 having the lowest movement cost “4” as the suggestion route. Specifically, calculation apparatus 100 uses elevator EV1 to move from the 15th floor to the 14th floor, and determines route RT2 using stairs ST11 to move from the 14th floor to the 13th floor as the suggestion route.

  Then, the calculation device 100 provides the information on the determined suggestion route to the terminal device 10 used by the user U1 (step S15). In the example of FIG. 1, the calculation apparatus 100 provides the route RT2 with the lowest movement cost among the routes RT1 to RT4 as the suggestion route.

Based on the information, the movement cost by each route is calculated. In other words, the calculation apparatus 100 calculates the moving cost that fluctuates according to the arrangement of elevators at the time of calculating the moving cost and the number of people waiting on each floor. Thus, the calculation device 100 can calculate the movement cost according to the dynamically changing situation in the facility. Therefore, the calculation apparatus 100 can appropriately calculate the cost generated by the movement of the user in the facility based on the facility information of the facility having a plurality of floors where the user is located and the movement schedule information of the user. In addition, the calculation apparatus 100 can suppress an increase in cost due to the movement of the user by providing the user with a route in which the movement cost of the user is as small as possible as the suggestion route.
