The storage unit 17 stores information on acceptance / rejection of reform proposals made for each house 13. The storage unit 17 stores a history of reforms performed on the house 13 as reform history information. The storage unit 17 stores renovation history information of each house 13. The storage unit 17 corresponds to acceptance / rejection information storage means and reform history storage means.

  Next, the reform proposal process executed by the control unit 16 of the management server 12 will be described. The reform proposal process is periodically performed for each house 13, and is performed for each house 13 every month in the present embodiment. Specifically, the date and time (proposal date and time) for performing the reform proposal process for each house 13 is determined in advance, and when the proposal date and time is reached, the reform proposal process is performed for the house 13 corresponding to the proposal date and time. It has become a thing. In the following description, the house 13 to be subjected to the reform proposal process is referred to as a house 13X. Hereinafter, the reform proposal process will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2, first, in step S11, a request signal is transmitted to the home server 21 of the house 13X. This request signal is a signal for requesting transmission of usage history information of the home appliances 31 to 34 stored in the storage unit 22a of the house 13X to the management server 12. When this request signal is received by the home server 21 of the house 13X, the home server 21 (specifically, the controller 22) of the house 13X stores the usage history information of the home appliances 31 to 34 stored in the storage unit 22a. 12 to send. Specifically, the home server 21 transmits the usage history information for the latest two months among the usage history information of the home appliances 31 to 34 stored in the storage unit 22 a to the management server 12.

  In step S <b> 12, it is determined whether usage history information of the home appliances 31 to 34 is received from the home server 21 of the house 13 </ b> X. If the usage history information of the home appliances 31 to 34 is received, the process proceeds to step S13, and if not received, step S12 is repeatedly performed until it is received.

  In step S13, based on the received usage history information of the home appliances 31 to 34, a lifestyle change determination process is performed to determine whether or not a change has occurred in the lifestyle of the resident in the house 13X (to the lifestyle change determination means). Equivalent). In this process, among the latest two months of usage history information of the received home appliances 31 to 34, the latest one month of usage history information is compared with the previous month of usage history information, Based on the comparison result, it is determined whether or not the resident's way of life has changed. Hereinafter, the determination process for the change in the way of living will be described in detail.

  In this determination process, first, based on the use history information of the lighting device 31, that is, the ON / OFF history information of the lighting device 31, it is determined whether or not the resident's way of life has changed. Specifically, based on the ON / OFF history information of the lighting device 31 in each room in the house 13X, it is determined whether or not a change has occurred in the way the resident in the house 13X spends in the room. More specifically, the latest ON / OFF history information for one month for the lighting device 31 in each room is compared with the ON / OFF history information for the previous month, and the comparison result is obtained. Based on this, the above determination is made.

  For example, as a result of comparing the ON / OFF history information of the lighting device 31 in each room, in the previous month, the lighting device 31 was often ON in the living room and the lighting device 31 was often OFF in the child room. In the most recent (latest) month, it is assumed that the lighting device 31 is often ON in both the living room and the child room. In that case, parents and children often used to spend time together in the living room, but recently, children often enter their own room (children's room) and spend time in a room separate from their parents. It can be thought that it became. Therefore, in this case, since it can be considered that the way of spending in the resident's room has changed in the house 13X, in this determination process, it is determined that the way of spending in the resident's room has changed.

  Further, in this determination process, it is determined whether or not a change has occurred in the resident's way of living based on the usage history information of the air conditioner 32, that is, the ON / OFF history information of the air conditioner 32. Specifically, based on the ON / OFF history information of the air conditioner 32 in each room in the house 13X, it is determined whether or not a change has occurred in the way in which the resident in the house 13X spends in the room. More specifically, the latest one month ON / OFF history information for the air conditioner 32 in each room is compared with the previous one month ON / OFF history information, and based on the comparison result. The above determination is made.

  Further, in this determination process, it is determined whether or not a change has occurred in the resident's way of living based on the usage history information of the washing machine 33, that is, the water usage history information of the washing machine 33. Specifically, in this determination process, it is determined based on the water usage history information of the washing machine 33 whether or not a change has occurred in the number of residents in the house 13X. More specifically, the latest water usage history information for one month is compared with the water usage history information for the previous month, and the above determination is made based on the comparison result.

  Here, the amount of water used when washing clothes in the washing machine 33 increases as the amount of clothes washed in the washing machine 33 increases. Further, it is considered that the amount of clothes washed by the washing machine 33 increases or decreases depending on the number of residents living in the house 13X. Therefore, when the amount of water used in the washing machine 33 increases, it can be considered that the number of residents has increased. Therefore, in this case, in this determination process, it is determined that the number of residents has increased. On the other hand, when the amount of water used in the washing machine 33 decreases, it can be considered that the number of residents has decreased. Therefore, in this case, in this determination process, it is determined that the number of residents has decreased.

  The case where the number of inhabitants decreases includes, for example, a case where a child leaves his / her home (house 13) and lives alone (such as going to a university). Moreover, the case where the number of inhabitants increases, for example, is a case where a child makes a U-turn and returns to his / her home (house 13).

  Moreover, in this determination process, it is determined based on the use history information of the rice cooker 34, that is, the weight history information of the rice cooker 34, whether or not a change has occurred in the resident's way of life. Specifically, in this determination process, it is determined based on the weight history information of the rice cooker 34 whether or not a change has occurred in the number of residents in the house 13X. More specifically, the latest weight history information for one month is compared with the weight history information for the previous month, and the above determination is made based on the comparison result.

  Here, the weight of the rice cooker 34 increases as the amount of rice cooked (or put in) by the rice cooker 34 increases. Moreover, it is thought that the quantity of the rice cooked with the rice cooker 34 increases or decreases according to the number of residents living in the house 13X. Therefore, when the weight of the rice cooker 34 increases, it can be considered that the number of residents has increased. Therefore, in this case, in this determination process, it is determined that the number of residents has increased. On the other hand, when the weight of the rice cooker 34 becomes small, it can be considered that the number of residents has decreased. Therefore, in this case, in this determination process, it is determined that the number of residents has decreased.

  As described above, in the lifestyle change determination process, it is determined whether or not a change has occurred in the resident's lifestyle in the house 13X based on the usage history information of each of the home appliances 31 to 34. When changes occur in the resident's way of living, the way of changing the way of living includes a mode in which the way in which the resident lives in the room changes and a mode in which changes (increase / decrease) occur in the number of residents. As an example of the former aspect, there is a change from how to spend each resident together in a room to how to spend in a separate room. Moreover, the latter aspect includes an aspect in which the number of residents increases or decreases. And in the lifestyle change determination process, when a change occurs in the resident's lifestyle, the manner of change in the lifestyle is also determined together.

  In step S14, based on the result of the lifestyle change determination process (step S13), it is determined whether or not a change has occurred in the lifestyle of the resident in the house 13X. If there is a change in the resident's way of living, the process proceeds to step S15, and if there is no change, the process is terminated.

  In step S15, a reform plan creation process for creating a reform plan for the house 13X is performed (corresponding to a reform plan creation means). In the reform plan creation process, the following processes (a) to (d) are performed. Hereinafter, each of these processes will be described.

  (A) First, a renovation plan is created in accordance with the change in the resident's way of living determined in step S13. In the present embodiment, a plurality of reform plan candidates are stored in the storage unit 17, and more specifically, the plurality of reform plan candidates are stored in association with the manner of change in the way of living. When creating the renovation plan, the renovation plan candidate corresponding to the change in the way of living determined in step S13 is read from the storage unit 17, and the read renovation plan candidate is created as a renovation plan for the house 13X.

  For example, when the mode of change in the way of living determined in step S13 is a mode in which the number of inhabitants changes, specifically, in a mode in which the number of inhabitants increases, the reform corresponding to the mode The plan candidate is read from the storage unit 17. In this case, the storage unit 17 stores candidates such as “extend”, “increase the number of rooms”, “increase the number of toilets”, “replace the washing machine with a larger capacity”, and the like. A plurality or one of these reform plan candidates is read from the storage unit 17 and used as a reform plan.

  Further, when the manner of change in the way of living determined in step S13 is a mode in which the number of residents is reduced, the reform plan candidate corresponding to the mode is read from the storage unit 17. In this case, the storage unit 17 stores candidates such as “reconstruction” and “change the floor plan” as the reform plan candidates, and a plurality or one candidate from these reform plan candidates is stored in the storage unit 17. Read from to make a reform proposal. For example, when a child leaves the home (house 13) and lives alone, the child room is vacant, so the child room may be changed to a father's study or mother's powder room. Therefore, the floor plan change to those rooms (study room, powder room) may be a renovation plan.

  Furthermore, when the manner of change in the way of living determined in step S13 is a manner in which the way of living in the resident's room changes, in detail, how to spend in the resident's room is the same for each resident (parent and child) together. If the mode changes from how to spend time in a room (for example, living room) to how to spend time in a different room (parent is living room, child is child room), the reform plan candidate corresponding to the mode is stored in the storage unit. 17 is read out. In this case, the storage unit 17 stores candidates such as “lock the child room” and “make the partition wall of the child room have a wall thickness” as such reform plan candidates. A plurality of candidates or one candidate is read out from the storage unit 17 as a reform plan.

  (B) In the reform plan creation process, a reform plan is created based on the acceptance information of the reform proposal stored in the storage unit 17. For example, in the storage unit 17, the proposal to “extend” (in other words, the proposal for large-scale renovation) has been rejected in the past as information on whether or not the reform proposal is accepted, but “replace the washing machine with a larger capacity”. If the information that the proposal (in other words, proposal for small-scale reform) has been adopted is stored, the latter proposal is created as a reform proposal.

  In addition, the proposal of “increasing the number of toilets” (in other words, the proposal of renovation of the water supply) has not been adopted in the past as information on whether or not the reform proposal is accepted in the storage unit 17, but the proposal of “repainting the outer wall” (in other words, When information indicating that the proposal for appearance reform has been adopted is stored, the latter plan is created as a reform plan.

  (C) In the reform plan creation process, a reform plan is created based on the reform history information of each house 13 stored in the storage unit 17. For example, if the storage unit 17 stores information indicating that the “increase toilet” reform has been performed in the past as the reform history information of the house 13X, a plan other than “increase the toilet” may be used as a reform plan. create.

  Here, as described above, the history of renovation performed in the house 13 is stored in the storage unit 17 as renovation history information. Specifically, the renovation performed in the house 13 is stored in the storage unit 17 as the renovation history information together with the change in the resident's way of living in the house 13 when the renovation is performed ( For more details, see the description of step S19 described later). In the reform plan creation process, a reform plan is created based on the reform history information stored in the storage unit 17.

  For example, the renovation history information is stored in the storage unit 17 as the renovation history information in the same or similar manner to the manner of change in the way of living determined in step S13 (for example, the manner in which the number of residents increases). Then, a reform plan is created based on the reform history information. In this case, if the reform history information stored in the storage unit 17 is information “increase the number of rooms”, a plan “increase the number of rooms” is created as a reform plan.

  (D) In the reform plan creation process, a reform plan is created based on the product information of the home appliance transmitted from the home appliance manufacturer 38 and the product information of the joinery transmitted from the joinery manufacturer 39. For example, when the home 13 is reformed to “increase the number of rooms”, it may be possible to install home appliances or fittings in a new room. Therefore, when the plan to “increase the number of rooms” is used as a reform plan, a reform plan including home appliances and fittings suitable for installation in the room is created.

  In the reform plan creation process, it is not always necessary to perform all the processes (a) to (d) described above. For example, only any three of these processes may be performed. Further, only one or two of these processes may be performed.

  In step S16, based on the reform plan created by the reform plan creation process (step S15), a proposal process for making a reform proposal for the reform of the house 13X to the resident of the house 13X is performed (corresponding to a proposal means). In this process, the reform proposal is made by sending the created reform proposal to the home server 21 of the house 13X by e-mail or the like. In this case, when the reform plan is received by the home server 21 (controller 22) of the house 13X, the controller 22 causes the display unit 24 to display the reform plan. Thereby, the resident of the house 13X can receive the proposal regarding the reform of the house 13X at the timing when the change has occurred in the way of living.

  In step S17, acceptance determination processing for determining whether or not the reform proposal proposed by the proposal processing (step S16) has been adopted by a resident of the house 13X is performed (corresponding to acceptance determination means). It is considered that the resident of the house 13X transmits (replies) to the management server 12 of the house maker 11 by e-mail or the like as to whether or not to accept (accept) the proposal after receiving the proposal regarding the reform. In this case, for example, when the resident inputs information regarding the acceptance / rejection of the proposal by operating the operation unit 23, the controller 22 transmits the acceptance / rejection information to the management server 12. Then, when the transmitted acceptance / rejection information is received by the management server 12, the management server 12 (control unit 16) determines whether or not the renovation plan has been adopted by the resident based on the transmitted acceptance / rejection information. judge.

  Incidentally, when the resident does not adopt the proposed renovation plan, it may be possible that the resident does not bother to send information regarding acceptance / rejection (information not to adopt) to the management server 12. Therefore, in view of this point, if information on acceptance / rejection is not transmitted from the resident to the management server 12 even after a predetermined period (for example, two weeks) has elapsed since the proposal process was performed, It may be judged that the draft was not adopted.

  In step S18, the result of acceptance / rejection determination processing (step S17) is stored in the storage unit 17 as acceptance / rejection information. Accordingly, the storage unit 17 stores acceptance information regarding whether or not the reform proposal proposed by the proposal process has been adopted by a resident of the house 13X.

  In step S19, when the reform proposal proposed by the proposal process is adopted by the resident of the house 13X as a result of the acceptance / rejection determination process, the reform proposal is stored in the storage unit 17 as the reform history information of the house 13X (storage implementation). Equivalent to means). That is, in this step, when the reform proposal is adopted by the resident, it is assumed that the house 13X is reformed by the resident according to the proposal, and the reform history information is stored in the storage unit 17. In this step, more specifically, the reform proposal adopted by the resident is stored as the reform history information together with the change of the resident's way of living determined in step S13. Thereafter, this process is terminated.

  As mentioned above, according to the structure of this embodiment explained in full detail, the following outstanding effects are acquired.

  Based on the usage history information of the household electrical appliances 31 to 34 stored in the storage unit 22a of the house 13, it is determined whether or not a change has occurred in the resident's way of living in the house 13, and it is determined that a change has occurred. In that case, it was decided to make a proposal for renovation of the house 13 to the resident. As a result, it is possible to propose renovation at a timing when a change has occurred in the resident's way of living in the house 13, so it is possible to propose renovation at an appropriate time.

  Specifically, based on the water usage history information (corresponding to the clothing history) of the washing machine 33 stored in the storage unit 22a of the house 13, it is determined whether or not the number of residents in the house 13 has changed. And when there is a change, a reform proposal is made. Further, based on the weight history information (corresponding to the food amount history) of the rice cooker 34 stored in the storage unit 22a of the house 13, it is determined whether or not the number of residents in the house 13 has changed, and the change has occurred. In the event of a renovation, a renovation proposal was made. If there is a change in the number of residents, it may be possible that there will be excess or shortage of rooms in the house 13, and it is considered that remodeling may be performed accordingly. Therefore, it is possible to make a proposal at an appropriate time by making a reform proposal at a timing when the number of residents changes.

  Further, based on the ON / OFF history information of the lighting device 31 of each room stored in the storage unit 22a of the house 13, it is determined whether or not a change has occurred in the way the resident in the house 13 spends in the room. We decided to make a renovation proposal when a problem occurred. Also, based on the ON / OFF history information of the air conditioner 32 of each room stored in the storage unit 22a of the house 13, it is determined whether or not a change has occurred in the way the resident lives in the room. It was decided to make a renovation proposal. For example, a change in the way a resident spends time in a room is, for example, the way a parent and a child spend time together in the same room. May have changed to spending time in another room (for example, a child's room). In this way, when the way of spending in the room changes, it is conceivable that remodeling such as locking the child room is performed in order to enhance privacy in the child room, for example. For this reason, it is possible to make a proposal to the resident at an appropriate time by making a renovation proposal at a timing when a change occurs in how the resident's room is spent.

  When it was determined that a change occurred in the resident's way of living, a renovation plan was created according to the change of the way of living, and a renovation proposal was made based on the created renovation plan. As a result, it is possible to make a renovation proposal in accordance with a change in the resident's way of living, and thus it is possible to make a proposal that is easily accepted by the resident.

  A reform proposal was created based on the acceptance information of the reform proposal stored in the storage unit 17 of the management server 12. In this case, it is possible to make a proposal with priority given to a reform plan that has been adopted in the past, and thus it is possible to make a reform proposal that is easily accepted by residents.

  Based on the reform history information of each house 13 stored in the storage unit 17 of the management server 12, a reform plan was created. In this case, it is possible to create a reform plan by referring to the history of reforms performed in the past. Therefore, for example, when making a reform proposal for a certain house 13, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience of proposing the same reform plan as a reform performed in the past in that house 13. In addition, by proposing the same reform plan as that performed in another house 13, it is possible to make a proposal that is easily accepted by residents.

  When a renovation proposal made in accordance with the change in the way of living is adopted by a resident, the renovation proposal is stored in the storage unit 17 as renovation history information together with the change of the way of living. In this case, it is possible to store the reform history information including the change in the way of living that has been performed (adopted). As a result, when creating a renovation plan based on the renovation history information, for example, if there is a track record that has led to remodeling due to a change in the same (or similar) way of living in the past, refer to the remodeling performance at that time Then, it is possible to create a reform proposal. Therefore, it becomes possible to make a reform proposal that is more easily accepted by residents.

  Based on the product information of the home appliances acquired from the home appliance manufacturer 38 and the product information of the joinery acquired from the joinery manufacturer 39, a reform proposal was created. In this case, when installation / replacement of equipment or joinery occurs along with renovation, it is possible to make a renovation proposal including home appliances or joinery to be installed / replaced.

  Since the renovation proposal was made by sending the renovation proposal from the management server 12 to the home server 21 of the house 13 by e-mail or the like, the house maker 11 does not visit the house 13 but also interviews the residents. It is possible to make a renovation proposal. In addition, by making such a reform proposal, there is also an advantage that residents can discover needs that are not noticed unless it is proposed.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be implemented as follows, for example.

  (1) In the above embodiment, based on the water usage history information (corresponding to the clothing history) of the washing machine 33 stored in the storage unit 22a, it is determined whether or not the number of residents has changed. May be changed. For example, a weight sensor that detects the weight of the washing machine 33 is provided, and a weight (corresponding to clothing amount information) detected (acquired) by the weight sensor is stored in the storage unit 22a as a weight history. Then, based on the weight history (corresponding to the clothing amount history) of the washing machine 33 stored in the storage unit 22a, it may be determined whether or not the number of residents has changed. In this case, the weight history of the washing machine 33 is the weight history of the washing machine 33 in a state where clothes are put in the washing machine 33. Therefore, also in this case, it is possible to determine a change in the number of residents based on the amount of clothes washed by the washing machine 33.

  In addition, a clothing amount sensor that detects the amount (weight or volume) of clothing put into the washing machine 33 is provided, and the clothing amount detected by the clothing amount sensor is stored in the storage unit 22a as a clothing amount history. You may make it determine the change of the number of residents based on the clothing quantity history memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 22a.

  (2) In the above embodiment, it is determined whether or not the number of residents has changed based on the weight history information (corresponding to the food amount history) of the rice cooker 34 stored in the storage unit 22a. May be. For example, the weight sensor which detects the weight of the rice put into the rice cooker 34 is provided, and the weight (equivalent to food amount information) of the rice detected (acquired) by the weight sensor is stored in the storage unit 22a. And based on the weight log | history (equivalent to a foodstuff quantity log | history) memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 22a, you may make it determine whether the number of residents changed. Also in this case, it is possible to determine the change in the number of residents based on the amount of rice cooked by the rice cooker 34 (the amount of ingredients).

  (3) For example, a food amount sensor that detects the amount (weight or volume) of food stored in the refrigerator is provided, and the amount of food detected (acquired) by the food amount sensor (corresponding to the food amount information) It memorize | stores in the memory | storage part 22a as a foodstuff quantity log | history. And based on the amount history of food memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 22a, you may make it determine whether the number of residents changed.

  (4) For example, a sensor that detects the number of times of additional cooking performed by a water heater (bathroom water heater) is provided, and the number of times of additional cooking (corresponding to usage status information) detected (acquired) by the sensor is used as a frequency history. It memorize | stores in the memory | storage part 22a. And based on the frequency | count log | history (equivalent to a use log | history) memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 22a, you may make it determine whether the number of residents changed. Since the number of additional cooking may increase or decrease depending on the number of residents in the bathroom, it is possible to determine whether or not the number of residents has changed in this case as well.

  (5) For example, based on the usage history information of the household electrical appliances 31 to 34 stored in the storage unit 22a, the usage frequency and replacement period of the household electrical appliances 31 to 34 are determined. A renovation plan may be created based on the acquired product information of the home appliance. In this case, it is possible to make a renovation proposal that takes into account the replacement timing of the home appliances and the financial planning.

  Moreover, the preference information regarding the preference of the resident of the house 13 may be acquired for the home appliance, and the reform proposal may be created based on the preference information and the product information of the home appliance. The resident preference information includes information such as which manufacturer's home appliances the resident uses (prefers) and what price of the home appliances. In this case, for example, when a replacement (purchase) of a washing machine is proposed as a reform, it is possible to propose a new product (washing machine) of the manufacturer of the washing machine currently used by the resident. Become.

  (6) In the above embodiment, when the proposed reform plan is adopted by a resident of the house 13, the reform plan is stored in the storage unit 17 as the reform history information of the house 13. In addition, for example, the reform history information may be stored in the storage unit 17 as follows. That is, when renovation is performed at the house 13, the worker of the house maker 11 inputs information indicating that the renovation has been performed at the house 13 by the operation unit of the management server 12. Then, the control unit 16 stores the input information in the storage unit 17 as reform history information. Also in this case, the reform history of the house 13 can be accumulated.
