FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the external structure of the soundproof room 1. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a functional configuration of the soundproof room 1.

  The soundproof room 1 has a space formed by a housing 11 and a door 12 where a person (hereinafter referred to as a user) can enter. The soundproof room 1 is installed in a place where various people pass, such as a station premises, an airport, a commercial facility, an exhibition hall, an outdoor plaza, an inside of a store, a hotel, an apartment house, or an office. The soundproof room 1 may be installed in a moving body such as a railway vehicle, a bus, a taxi, or an airplane.

  The housing 11 is formed of a metal, wood, resin, or the like, and is a rectangular parallelepiped or cylindrical member having an opening for a user to enter and exit on at least one side surface. A caster (not shown) and an adjuster (not shown) are provided on the bottom surface of the housing 11. The installer of the soundproof room 1 moves the soundproof room 1 to the place of installation using a caster, and then adjusts the length of the adjuster so that the distance between the bottom surface of the soundproof room 1 and the floor surface becomes equal. The chamber 1 can be fixed.

  The door 12 is coupled to the housing 11 so as to close an opening formed in the housing 11, and is configured to be openable and closable around a joint portion with the housing 11. The door 12 is provided with a door glass 34 so that the inside of the soundproof room 1 can be visually recognized from the outside.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the soundproof room 1 can transmit and receive data to and from an external device 2 via a network N such as the Internet. A user who uses the soundproof room 1 can perform a videoconference with a user who uses the external device 2 having a videoconference function by using a videoconferencing terminal installed in the soundproof room 1, for example.

  A sound absorbing material is provided inside the housing 11, and the voice spoken by the user inside the soundproof room 1 and the voice uttered by the user using the external device 2 are unlikely to leak outside the soundproof room 1. Therefore, even if the soundproof room 1 is installed in a place where an unspecified number of people pass (hereinafter referred to as a public place), the user can safely speak the content with high confidentiality.

  When the soundproof room 1 is installed in a public place, if an unspecified number of people can freely enter the soundproof room 1, the internal equipment of the soundproof room 1 may be damaged. Therefore, the soundproof room 1 is provided with a lock 31 so that a person who has paid a predetermined fee can enter the soundproof room 1.

  A card reading unit 37 is provided in the vicinity of the door 12 in order to receive payment from a user who uses the soundproof room 1. Although details will be described later, the card reading unit 37 uses information (hereinafter referred to as the following) stored in the card from a card capable of paying money such as an electronic money card (for example, a prepaid card) or a credit card. It is a reading section that reads (settlement information). For example, when the user brings the electronic money card closer to the card reading unit 37, the predetermined usage fee is reduced from the balance stored in the electronic money card, whereby the payment is completed, and the lock 31 is opened after the payment is completed. In addition, after the settlement is completed, power supply to the electronic device inside the soundproof room 1 is started, and the user can start a video conference.

The fee to be settled is determined according to the scheduled use time, and the supply of electric power to the electronic device to the inside of the soundproof room 1 is started after the settlement is completed until the scheduled use time elapses. The
Hereinafter, the configuration of the soundproof room 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

[Configuration of Soundproof Room 1]
The soundproof room 1 includes a CPU 21, a storage unit 22, a detection unit 23, a lock 31, a power supply unit 32, an air conditioner 33, a door glass 34, a display unit 35, an alarm unit 36, and a card reading unit. 37, an operation receiving unit 38, a communication unit 39, and a sound attenuating unit 40. The CPU 21 functions as a control unit and controls operations of the lock 31, the power supply unit 32, the air conditioning equipment 33, the door glass 34, the display unit 35, the alarm unit 36, the card reading unit 37, the operation receiving unit 38, and the communication unit 39. To do.

  The storage unit 22 includes a storage medium such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and a hard disk. The storage unit 22 stores a program executed by the CPU 21. Moreover, the preset reservation time of the soundproof room 1 is memorize | stored.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a reservation time database stored in the storage unit 22. In the reservation time database, reservation time and user identification information are associated with each other. The user identification information is information unique to the user stored in the user's card, for example. For example, the user can make a reservation for a desired time by performing a reservation operation in the operation reception unit 38 and then making a payment using a card.

  The user may make a reservation by accessing a predetermined reservation site using an external computer or a portable terminal. In the reservation site, the user selects a soundproof room 1 desired to be used from a plurality of soundproof rooms 1 that can be reserved, and inputs a date and time when the selected soundproof room 1 is desired to be used. Thereafter, the user, for example, by inputting a credit card number, in the reservation server that provides the reservation site, the soundproof room is soundproof room identification information for identifying the reservation time and the soundproof room 1 in association with the user identification information. The ID is stored. The reservation server transmits the reservation time and the user identification information to the reserved soundproof room 1, and the CPU 21 of the soundproof room 1 that has received the reservation time and the user identification information stores the reservation time and the user identification information in the storage unit 22. Let

  The detection unit 23 includes an odor sensor 231, a human sensor 232, and a weight sensor 233. The odor sensor 231 detects the odor in the interior space of the soundproof room 1, and notifies the CPU 21 of odor information indicating at least one of the detected odor type and intensity. The human sensor 232 detects whether or not a person is present inside the soundproof room 1, and notifies the CPU 21 of person detection information indicating whether or not a person is present. The weight sensor 233 detects the weight of an article inside the soundproof room 1 and notifies the CPU 21 of the detected weight.

  The lock 31 is provided between the housing 11 and the door 12 and switches between an unlocked state in which the door 12 can be opened and a locked state in which the door 12 cannot be opened under the control of the CPU 21. The lock 31 is provided with an operation section on the inside of the housing 11 so that the user can switch between the unlocked state and the unlocked state by operating from the inside of the housing 11.

  The power supply unit 32 supplies power to an electronic device provided inside the housing 11. For example, the power supply unit 32 supplies the electronic device with electric power acquired via a power plug 321 that can be connected to a power outlet provided indoors or outdoors. The electronic devices are a permanent video conference facility, a lighting facility and an air conditioning facility 33 installed in the housing 11, and a computer or a portable terminal brought in by the user. Based on the control of the CPU 21, the power supply unit 32 supplies power to the electronic device from when payment is completed until the scheduled use time elapses. Note that the power supply unit 32 may supply power stored in a battery (not shown) to the electronic device in addition to the power acquired via the power plug 321.

  The CPU 21 opens the lock 31 after making a payment in response to the card reading unit 37 reading the payment information, and causes the power supply unit 32 to start supplying power. Further, the CPU 21 supplies power to the power supply unit 32 until the scheduled use time elapses after the lock 31 is opened, and when the scheduled use time elapses after the lock 31 is opened, the power is supplied to the power supply unit 32. Stop supplying. By doing in this way, only the user who paid the predetermined charge can use the soundproof room 1.

  The CPU 21 opens the lock 31 when the lock 31 is closed when the scheduled use time has elapsed since the lock 31 was opened. The CPU 21 may open the door 12 when the scheduled use time has elapsed. In this way, when the user continues to use the soundproof room 1 even after the scheduled use time has elapsed, the user can open the door 12 from the outside and let the user go out. Furthermore, since the soundproof effect is lost when the CPU 21 opens the door 12, the merit that the user is inside the soundproof room 1 is lost, and the user can be encouraged to leave the soundproof room 1 spontaneously. Become.

  The air conditioning equipment 33 ventilates the internal space of the soundproof room 1 and adjusts the internal temperature. The air conditioner 33 is provided on the ceiling of the housing 11, for example, and has a fan that releases the air in the interior space of the soundproof room 1 to the outside. The air conditioning equipment 33 operates based on the control of the CPU 21 until the scheduled use time elapses after the settlement is completed. The air conditioning equipment 33 may stop the temperature adjustment function when the scheduled use time has elapsed, and operate only the fan for a predetermined time after stopping the temperature adjustment function. By doing in this way, when another user uses the soundproof room 1 next time, it can prevent leaving an unpleasant smell.

  The door glass 34 is provided on the door 12. The door glass 34 functions as a blind that can change the transmittance based on the control of the CPU 21, for example. The door glass 34 can change the transmittance according to the user's operation received by the operation receiving unit 38 based on the control of the CPU 21 until the scheduled use time elapses. For example, when the user does not want to see the video conference inside the soundproof room 1 from the outside, the user performs an operation to lower the transparency of the door glass 34 to display the video conference on the video conference monitor. The image can be made invisible from the outside. The soundproof room 1 may be provided with a blind composed of a plurality of elongated plate-like members whose angles are changed based on the control of the CPU 21 instead of the door glass 34 whose transmittance can be changed.

  When the scheduled use time elapses, the CPU 21 maximizes the transparency of the blind so that the inside can be visually recognized from the outside. By doing in this way, the act which a user keeps staying in the soundproof room 1 can be suppressed after use scheduled time passes.

  The display unit 35 is a display that displays various types of information, and is provided, for example, on the front side of the housing 11. The CPU 21 causes the display unit 35 to display information indicating that it can be used when the user is not using it. The CPU 21 opens the lock 31 and causes the display unit 35 to display information indicating that it is in use when the power supply unit 32 starts supplying power.

  The alarm unit 36 has a sound source that generates an alarm sound. For example, when the human sensor 232 detects a person after a predetermined time has elapsed since the scheduled use time has elapsed, the CPU 21 causes the alarm unit 36 to generate an alarm sound. In this case, the CPU 21 may cause the display unit 35 to display information that prompts the user to leave the room, such as “please leave the room”. As described above, the alarm sound is sounded and the information prompting the user to leave the room is displayed on the display unit 35, whereby the user can be prevented from staying in the soundproof room 1.

  The card reading unit 37 reads settlement information stored in a card that can pay money. As described above, the card is an electronic money card or a credit card, and the card reading unit 37 notifies the CPU 21 of the read settlement information. When the card reading unit 37 reads the balance information from the electronic money card, the CPU 21 subtracts the charge corresponding to the scheduled use time input in the operation receiving unit 38 from the balance indicated by the balance information, The result of the subtraction is written to the electronic money card. When the card reading unit 37 reads the credit card number from the credit card, the CPU 21 executes settlement by notifying the credit card number and the charge to an external server for performing the settlement of the credit card.

  The card reading unit 37 may further read user identification information for specifying a user stored in the card and notify the CPU 21 of the read user identification information. The CPU 21 reads the card reading unit 37 when the human sensor 232 detects that there is a person from the scheduled use time when a predetermined time has elapsed since the scheduled use time has elapsed. The user identification information may be stored in the storage unit 22 as use prohibited person information. Thereafter, when the user identification information read by the card reading unit 37 matches the prohibited person information, the CPU 21 prevents the lock 31 from being opened in response to the card reading unit 37 reading the payment information. By doing in this way, it can prevent that the user with the track record which continued using the soundproof room 1 even if use scheduled time passes uses a soundproof room 1 again.

  The operation receiving unit 38 receives a user operation as described above. The operation reception unit 38 notifies the CPU 21 of information specified by the received operation. For example, the operation reception unit 38 notifies the CPU 21 of the input desired use time. The CPU 21 approves the desired use time as the scheduled use time on the condition that the desired use time received by the operation receiving unit 38 does not include the reserved time stored in the storage unit 22.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4, it is assumed that a reservation is made between 10:00 on July 21, 2017 and 11:35. In this case, when a part of the desired use time overlaps with the reserved time so that the desired use time input by the user is from 9:45 to 10:15 on July 21, 2017, the CPU 21 The desired use time is not allowed as the scheduled use time. Then, the CPU 21 displays “cannot be used because it is a reserved time” on the display of the operation reception unit 38. On the other hand, when the desired use time does not overlap with the reserved time such that the desired use time input by the user is from 9:30 to 10:00 on July 21, 2017, the storage unit 22 You may accept time as scheduled use time.

  Note that if the end time of the scheduled use time matches the start time of the reserved time, there may be a problem when another reserved user tries to enter the room before the user whose scheduled use time has elapsed has finished leaving the room. There is. Therefore, the storage unit 22 recognizes the desired use time as the scheduled use time on condition that the end time of the desired use time is a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) or more before the start time of the reservation time. Also good. By doing in this way, since the reservation time of another user starts after the user who used the soundproof room 1 leaves, trouble can be prevented beforehand.

  The communication unit 39 is a communication interface for the CPU 21 to transmit / receive data to / from an external device via the network N, and includes, for example, a LAN (Local Area Network) controller.

  The sound attenuating unit 40 has a function of attenuating sound. The sound attenuating unit 40 includes a sound attenuating member that attenuates the sound from the inside to the outside of the housing 11 so that the sound generated inside the soundproof room 1 is not easily leaked to the outside. The sound attenuating member also has a function of attenuating sound as it goes from the outside to the inside of the housing 11 in order to prevent the video conference from becoming difficult due to the influence of external sounds.

  Here, if the external sound is attenuated too much, it is dangerous because an alarm sound such as an emergency bell sound emitted when a fire occurs outside the soundproof room 1 is not heard. Therefore, the sound attenuating unit 40 is configured such that the attenuation rate of the sound coming out of the soundproof room 1 from the internal space is larger than the attenuation rate of the sound entering the internal space from the outside of the soundproof room 1. For example, the sound attenuating unit 40 is likely to reflect sound when sound is transmitted from the inside to the outside of the housing 11, and does not reflect sound when sound is transmitted from the outside to the inside of the housing 11. It has a sound attenuating member that is less likely to occur.

  FIG. 5 is a view for explaining the structure of the sound attenuating unit 40 and schematically showing a cross section of the soundproof room 1. The sound attenuation unit 40 includes a plurality of sound attenuation members 400 and is provided on the ceiling side of the casing 11 of the soundproof room 1. The sound attenuating member 400 includes an outer reflecting portion 401, a rectilinear portion 402, and an inner reflecting portion 403.

  FIG. 5A shows a state in which the sound from the outside of the soundproof room 1 and the sound inside the soundproof room 1 indicated by solid arrows are difficult to reach the inside and the outside of the soundproof room 1, respectively. Sound from the outside of the soundproof room 1 is attenuated by being reflected on the curved surface of the outer reflecting portion 401, and is difficult to reach the inside of the soundproof room 1. In addition, the sound inside the soundproof room 1 is attenuated by being reflected on the curved surface of the inner reflection portion 403, and is difficult to reach the outside of the soundproof room 1.

  Note that by making the shape of the outer reflecting portion 401 different from the shape of the inner reflecting portion 403, sound reflection is likely to occur when sound is transmitted from the inner side to the outer side of the case 11, and the case 11. When sound is transmitted from the outside to the inside, it is possible to make it difficult for sound to be reflected. For example, by making the inner diameter of the inner reflecting portion 403 smaller than the inner diameter of the outer reflecting portion 401, it is difficult for the sound to leak from the inner side to the outer side while maintaining the state where the sound reaches the inner side from the outer side. In order to make it easier for the inner reflecting portion 403 to reflect sound, the amount of unevenness on the surface of the inner reflecting portion 403 may be larger than the amount of unevenness on the surface of the outer reflecting portion 401.

  As described above, the sound attenuating unit 40 can effectively attenuate the sound and allow air and water to pass therethrough. As indicated by the solid line arrows in FIG. 5B, the air outside the soundproof room 1 and the water released from the sprinklers installed above the soundproof room 1 pass through the outer reflection part 401 and the straight part 402. Thus, it reaches the space inside the housing 11. Since the soundproof room 1 has such a configuration, the soundproof room 1 suppresses the amount of sound transmitted between the outside and the inside, and air and water reach the internal space. Can be made compatible.

[Additional functions]
The soundproof room 1 may provide various additional functions in order to improve convenience for the user or improve profitability by installing the soundproof room 1.

(Odor removal function)
In order for the user to comfortably use the soundproof room 1, the CPU 21 ventilates the fan of the air conditioning equipment 33 by operating it even after the scheduled use time has elapsed. When the odor sensor 231 detects a predetermined odor when the scheduled use time has elapsed, the CPU 21 sets the air conditioning equipment for a longer time than when the odor sensor 231 does not detect the predetermined odor after the scheduled use time has elapsed. The fan which 33 has may be operated. When the odor sensor 231 detects a predetermined odor when the scheduled use time has elapsed, the CPU 21 may release the deodorizing material accommodated in a tank (not shown). By doing in this way, when the smell which may feel uncomfortable for the user remains in the soundproof room 1, the smell can be effectively removed.

(Forgetfulness prevention and anti-terrorism functions)
In order not to leave the soundproof room 1 while leaving the article brought in by the user, the CPU 21 causes the alarm unit 36 to output an alarm sound and display that there is something left behind when the user's article remains. You may display on the part 35. In addition, when the CPU 21 detects that the forgotten thing is a bomb in terrorism using a sensor such as an odor sensor 231, for example, the CPU 21 may notify a predetermined contact. In order to detect forgotten things, for example, the CPU 21 controls the weight sensor 233 to measure a first weight that is the weight before the user enters and a second weight that is the weight after the user leaves. When the difference between the first weight and the second weight exceeds a predetermined threshold, the CPU 21 causes the alarm unit 36 to generate a warning sound. The predetermined threshold is determined based on the measurement error of the weight sensor 233, and the CPU 21 generates a warning sound when, for example, the difference between the first weight and the second weight is 10 grams or more.

(Ad display function)
In order to increase the profitability of the business operator who installed the soundproof room 1, the soundproof room 1 may display an advertisement on a display provided outside or inside the housing 11 and the door 12. For example, the CPU 21 acquires one or more pieces of advertisement information from an external device via the communication unit 39, and displays the acquired advertisement information on a display. The method of displaying the advertisement information by the CPU 21 is arbitrary. As shown in FIG. 2, the advertisement information may be displayed on the display unit 35 provided on the upper portion of the door 12, and provided on both sides of the housing 11. Advertising information may be displayed on digital signage, or advertising information may be displayed on a light transmissive display provided on the door glass 34.

  CPU21 may operate so that a charge may be discounted with respect to the user related to an advertiser, in order to provide a merit to an advertiser and to make it easy to request an advertisement. In order to do this, the CPU 21 determines that the communication unit 39 determines that the user identification information read from the card by the card reading unit 37 is associated with at least one of the one or more pieces of advertisement information received by the communication unit 39. Settle a lower fee than when not associated with at least one of the received one or more advertising information. Specifically, when the company A is an advertiser, the CPU 21 charges a lower fee than when the user identification information is not an advertiser employee when the user identification information indicates an employee of the company A. Make the soundproof room 1 available.

  When the user identification information read from the card by the card reading unit 37 is associated with an advertiser that provides one or more pieces of advertising information received by the communication unit 39, the CPU 21 allows the user to open the soundproof room 1. During use, the advertisement information of the advertiser may be displayed on the display unit 35. For example, when the user is an employee of company A, an advertisement of company A is displayed during part or all of the scheduled use time of the user. By doing so, the advertiser related to the user who uses the soundproof room 1 is motivated to actively encourage the user to use the soundproof room 1. Profitability by installing can be further improved.

(Change of security level)
As described above, the soundproof room 1 can be installed in various places, but depending on the place where the soundproof room 1 is installed, it may be required to limit the number of people who can enter it or to change the security level. For example, if it is installed in a company, any employee can enter the soundproof room 1 without paying the fee, but if it is installed in an area where an unspecified number of people pass, only those who have paid the fee Needs to be placed in the soundproof room 1. Furthermore, when it is installed in an area where an unspecified number of people pass, it may be preferable to check the identity before entering.

  Therefore, the soundproof room 1 may have a setting mode in which the administrator of the soundproof room 1 easily changes the security level according to the installation location of the soundproof room 1. Specifically, the CPU 21 displays a setting screen on the display of the operation reception unit 38 immediately after the soundproof room 1 is turned on so that the administrator can input the installation location or the type of installation location. .

  When the user brings the electronic money card close to the card reading unit 37, the card reading unit 37 reads the payment information and the user identification information from the card and notifies the CPU 21 of the read information (S1). The CPU 21 refers to the reservation time database stored in the storage unit 22, and the user of the user identification information notified from the card reading unit 37 within a predetermined time from the time when the card reading unit 37 reads the information from the card. It is determined whether or not a reservation is made (S2). If the CPU 21 determines that the user has made a reservation, the process proceeds to step S5.

  When the CPU 21 determines that the user has not made a reservation, the CPU 21 displays a screen for inputting the desired use time on the display of the operation reception unit 38. When the input desired use time does not include the reservation time, the CPU 21 acquires the input desired use time as the scheduled use time (S3). When the input desired use time includes the reserved time, the CPU 21 displays on the operation receiving unit 38 that another time is selected.

  CPU21 will perform payment based on the payment information acquired from the card reading part 37, if the scheduled use time is acquired (S4). Specifically, when the card read by the card reading unit 37 is an electronic money card, payment is made by reducing the usage fee from the balance indicated by the payment information.

  Subsequently, the CPU 21 allows the user to enter the soundproof room 1 by opening the lock 31 (S5). In addition, the CPU 21 controls the power supply unit 32 to start supplying power to the electronic device (S36).

  Thereafter, the CPU 21 monitors whether the scheduled use time has elapsed since the start of power supply (S7). When determining that the scheduled use time has elapsed (YES in S7), the CPU 21 stops supplying power (S8) and opens the lock 31 (S9). The CPU 21 determines whether or not the predetermined odor remains based on the odor information notified from the weight sensor 233 (S10), and determines that the predetermined odor remains (YES in S10), the odor The fan of the air conditioner 33 is operated until it disappears (S11).

[Effects of soundproof room 1]
