<Embodiment>
Hereinafter, the container management system of this embodiment will be described. In the following description, an example in which the storage container management system of the present embodiment manages a trash box installed in a housing complex as a storage container will be described as an example.

FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of the storage container management system of the present embodiment. In the storage container management system of the figure, a plurality of apartment houses 10 are shown. In the housing complex 10, a trash storage area is provided at a specified location in the site, and a plurality of trash cans 20 are installed in the trash storage area. A resident of the apartment house 10 puts garbage into the trash can 20 as taking out trash.
The trash stored in the trash box 20 is collected, for example, by a manager in charge of a management company that manages the apartment house 10.

In the present embodiment, the trash can 20 may be an existing product that is commercially available, for example. In the present embodiment, a sensor unit attachment (described as “SUA” in the figure) 100 is attached to such an existing trash box 20 as a retrofit.
The sensor unit attachment 100 (an example of a fixture) detects the amount of dust (an example of a predetermined event related to the storage container) stored in the trash box 20 by the sensor, and sends detection information regarding the detected amount of trash to the gateway 11. To the management server 200 via the network NW.

  The management server 200 (an example of a management device) is a server operated by a management company, for example. Based on the detection information transmitted from the sensor unit attachment 100, the management server 200 calculates a capacity for each trash box 20 of each apartment house 10. The management server 200 generates storage container state information indicating the state of the trash can 20 for each apartment 10 based on the calculated storage capacity, and stores the generated storage container state information.

The manager in charge W can access the management server 200 through the manager terminal 300 he / she owns and can browse the storage container state screen showing the state of the trash box for each apartment house 10.
FIG. 2 shows an example of the container state screen. In the storage container state screen of the figure, the storage state in the trash can 20 installed in each of the apartment houses A and B is shown. In the figure, the storage state is an example in which a phrase indicating the ratio of the waste stored with respect to the volume of the trash can 20 and a state related to the storage amount such as “full”, “surplus” according to the ratio is presented. It is shown. Note that the accommodation state may be performed by, for example, displaying an icon with a predetermined pattern or design, displaying a color according to a preset color code, and the like in addition to characters.
Also, in the figure, for example, when the accommodation amount decreases, a display requesting confirmation (“required confirmation (reduction of accommodation amount)”) is performed on the administrator terminal 300. In other words, if the storage capacity of the trash box 20 changes so as to decrease, it means that the trash has been taken out from the trash box 20, and there is a possibility of mischief or theft, for example. Need to be found.

  The person in charge of management W grasps the state of accommodation for each trash can 20 of each apartment house 10 shown on the container state screen, and grasps which trash box 20 in which apartment house 10 should be collected. it can. Then, the person in charge of management W can go to the apartment house 10 in which the trash box 20 that has been grasped as the object of garbage collection is installed and collect the garbage from the object of garbage collection.

By operating the storage container management system in this way, the management company can collect garbage at an appropriate timing according to the amount of storage of the trash can 20, for example. For example, when collecting trash regularly, the trash storage capacity of the trash can 20 is small even if the user goes to the collection destination, or conversely, all the trash cans 20 are full and cannot be stored in the trash can 20. There is a possibility that it will be gone.
In the case of the present embodiment, according to the state of the capacity of each trash bin 20 in each collective housing 10, the manager W appropriately collects the collection work after assembling the traveling schedule of the collective housing 10. be able to. Accordingly, it is possible to efficiently perform the collection of garbage, and it is possible to solve the problem that garbage that cannot be stored in the garbage box 20 is left in the garbage storage area.

  In addition, for example, the housing state of the trash can 20 in a certain apartment 10 may be in a state (accommodation limit state) where there is not enough room to be collected early. Specifically, a state in which a certain number or more of the trash cans 20 among all the trash cans 20 installed in the apartment house 10 are full can be cited. When it is determined that such a storage limit state has been reached, an instruction for collecting trash from the trash box 20 may be transmitted to the administrator terminal 300. The collection instruction includes, for example, information on the apartment house 10 in which the collection target trash can 20 is installed. Further, the collection instruction may include information indicating the trash box 20 to be collected.

  The management server 200 may transmit a collection instruction by electronic mail. Alternatively, the management server 200 may transmit a collection instruction as a notification corresponding to a predetermined application installed on the administrator terminal 300. In this case, the collection instruction may be notified by, for example, a push notification.

  With reference to FIGS. 3-5, the example of the trash can 20 and the sensor unit attachment 100 of this embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing each of the trash can 20 and the sensor unit attachment 100. FIG. 4 is a side view of the sensor unit attachment 100 as viewed from the side. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which the sensor unit attachment 100 is attached to the trash can 20.

As shown in FIG. 3, the trash can 20 includes, for example, a box-shaped main body portion 21 whose upper surface is open, and a lid portion 22 that covers the opening on the upper surface of the main body portion 21.
As shown in FIG. 3, the sensor unit attachment 100 includes a mounting portion 110 and a sensor unit 120. The attachment part 110 is a part configured to have a member for attaching the sensor unit attachment 100 to the trash can 20. The sensor unit 120 is a part constituted by electric circuit system parts such as a sensor unit and a power source in the sensor unit attachment 100.

  The attachment part 110 has a structure in which lid part corresponding plates 112a and 112b and main body part corresponding plates 113a and 113b are attached to the hinge part 111 as shown in FIGS. That is, the attachment part 110 has a structure in which the lid part corresponding plates (112a, 112b) and the main body part correspondence plates (113a, 113b) are attached to the hinge part 111 so as to be openable and closable. For example, when the body portion corresponding plate (113a, 113b) side is fixed, the lid portion corresponding plate (112a, 112b) side can move as shown by an arrow Y in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a gap is formed between the lid corresponding plates 112a and 112b to fit, for example, a rear side portion of the lid 22. In addition, a gap for fitting a portion of the back plate 21r of the main body 21 is formed between the main body corresponding plates 113a and 113b.

  In addition, on the inner surface side of at least one of the lid portion corresponding plates 112a and 112b and at least one inner surface side of the main body portion corresponding plates 113a and 113b, an anti-slip structure made of a material such as rubber is provided. It's okay. Thereby, it is possible to make it difficult to remove the part sandwiched between the lid part corresponding plates 112a and 112b and the part sandwiched between the main body part corresponding plates 113a and 113b.

FIG. 4 shows an example in which the sensor unit 120 includes a dye-sensitized solar cell 121 and a sensor circuit unit 122.
The dye-sensitized solar cell 121 is an example of a flexible solar cell. A flexible solar cell has, for example, a structure in which a photoelectric conversion layer is formed on a film-like substrate.
In addition to the dye-sensitized solar cell, the flexible solar cell includes a perovskite type, a CIGS type, an amorphous silicon type, etc., which can provide a high output even in a low illuminance environment, has excellent design properties, etc. From the above characteristics, in the present embodiment, a dye-sensitized solar cell is desirable. Therefore, in the following description, an example in which the dye-sensitized solar cell 121 is used as the flexible solar cell will be described. The electric power generated by the dye-sensitized solar cell 121 is supplied to the sensor circuit unit 122.
In the figure, the dye-sensitized solar cell 121 is formed in a sheet shape and attached to the upper surface of the lid corresponding plate 112a.

The sensor circuit unit 122 is driven by the electric power supplied from the dye-sensitized solar cell 121. The sensor circuit unit 122 detects a predetermined event corresponding to the amount of garbage stored in the trash box 20, and transmits the detection result from the gateway 11 to the management server 200 via the network NW.
In the example of the figure, the sensor circuit unit 122 is an aspect in which components, circuits, and the like are housed in one housing, for example.

FIG. 5A shows a state where the lid portion 22 is closed with respect to the main body portion 21 as a state where the sensor unit attachment 100 is attached to the trash can 20. FIG. 5B shows a state in which the lid 22 is opened with respect to the main body 21 as a state in which the sensor unit attachment 100 is attached to the trash can 20.
As described above, with respect to the trash box 20 to which the sensor unit attachment 100 is attached, the person using the trash box 20 opens the lid part 22 so that the front side of the lid part 22 is lifted, so that the sensor unit attachment 100 remains attached. In this state, the trash can 20 can be used.
5A and 5B, when the sensor unit attachment 100 is attached to the trash box 20, the dye-sensitized solar cell 121 is exposed on the upper surface of the lid portion 22. Provided. That is, the dye-sensitized solar cell 121 is disposed so that it can efficiently receive external light in an environment where the trash can 20 is installed.

In the present embodiment, the attachment unit 110 of the sensor unit attachment 100 is configured so that it can be attached to the trash can 20 as described above, corresponding to the shape of the existing trash can 20 shown in FIGS. Is done. In addition, the sensor unit 120 (the dye-sensitized solar cell 121 and the sensor circuit unit 122) is attached to the attachment unit 110 in advance. Thereby, in this embodiment, it is possible to easily attach the sensor unit 120 to an existing trash can.
Further, for example, the structure, shape, and the like of the attachment portion 110 can be easily changed so that attachment is possible according to the shape of the storage container to be attached.
Thus, in this embodiment, it can have a high freedom degree regarding attachment of the sensor unit attachment 100 with respect to a storage container.

FIG. 6 shows an example of the electrical configuration of the sensor unit 120 in the sensor unit attachment 100.
In the sensor unit 120 of the figure, a dye-sensitized solar cell 121 and a sensor circuit unit 122 are shown. The sensor circuit unit 122 shown in the figure includes a power supply circuit 1221, a sensor unit 1222, and a communication unit 1223.
The power supply circuit 1221 receives power output from the dye-sensitized solar cell 121 and supplies power as a power source with a constant voltage to the sensor unit 1222 and the communication unit 1223. Note that the power supply circuit 1221 may include a storage element such as a secondary battery, a capacitor, or a capacitor in order to stabilize the power input from the dye-sensitized solar cell 121.

  That is, the sensor unit 120 is not operated by receiving power supply from the outside, but is operable by the power generated by the dye-sensitized solar cell 121. For example, a garbage storage area or the like often has an environment where the illuminance is steadily lower than that in the daytime outdoors. With the dye-sensitized solar cell 121, a high output can be obtained even at low illuminance, so that the sensor unit 1222, the communication unit 1223, and the like can be driven stably.

In this respect, the sensor unit attachment 100 of the present embodiment does not require wiring for receiving power supply from the outside. Such a point also contributes to an improvement in the degree of freedom regarding the attachment of the sensor unit attachment 100.
Further, in the case of this embodiment, maintenance work such as removing the sensor unit attachment 100, connecting to the system power supply, and charging is unnecessary.

The sensor unit 1222 detects a predetermined event related to the trash can 20. As a specific example, the sensor unit 1222 in the figure may be a distance measuring sensor. A sensor unit 1222 as a distance measuring sensor detects a distance to an object existing in a direction indicated by an arrow Z in FIG. Examples of the distance measuring sensor include an infrared sensor and an ultrasonic sensor.
In the state where the lid portion 22 is closed as shown in FIG. 5A, the sensor unit 1222 as the distance measuring sensor detects a predetermined event related to the trash can 20 from the self in the direction toward the bottom surface of the main body portion 21 of the trash can 20. The distance will be detected. In this case, as the amount of dust stored in the main body 21 increases, the detected distance becomes shorter. The distance detected by the sensor unit 1222 as the distance measuring sensor corresponds to the amount of dust stored in the trash box 20.

  A communication unit 1223 (an example of an information output unit) connects to the gateway 11 and executes communication. The communication unit 1223 designates the management server 200 as a transmission destination, and transmits the detection information of the sensor unit 1222 to the gateway 11. Thereby, the detection information of the sensor unit 1222 is transmitted from the gateway 11 to the management server 200 via the network NW.

  The communication unit 1223 may be directly connected to the network NW without the gateway 11 to transmit the detection information of the sensor unit 1222 to the management server 200. The network NW in such a case may be configured to include a short-range wireless communication network such as Bluetooth, for example.

  In the sensor unit 120, the power supply circuit 1221, the sensor unit 1222, the communication unit 1223, and the like constituting the sensor circuit unit 122 may not be housed in one housing as illustrated in FIG. As an example, the power supply circuit 1221, the sensor unit 1222, and the communication unit 1223 may be physically separated and attached to the attachment unit 110. Alternatively, for example, the power supply circuit 1221 and the communication unit 1223 are housed in one housing, and the sensor unit 1222 is provided as a predetermined part as appropriate, such as being provided separately from the housing for housing the power supply circuit 1221 and the communication unit 1223. May be separated from other sites.

FIG. 7 shows a configuration example of the management server 200. The management server 200 shown in the figure includes a communication unit 201, a control unit 202, and a storage unit 203.
The communication unit 201 performs communication by connecting to the network NW. The communication unit 201 communicates with the communication unit 1223 in the sensor unit attachment 100 via the network NW and the gateway 11. The communication unit 201 performs communication with the administrator terminal 300 via the network NW.
The control unit 202 executes various controls in the management server 200.
The storage unit 203 stores various types of information supported by the management server 200. The storage unit 203 includes a sensor unit table storage unit 231 and a storage container state information storage unit 232 corresponding to the display of the storage container state screen and the transmission of the collection instruction described in FIG.

FIG. 8 shows an example of the structure of the sensor unit table stored in the sensor unit table storage unit 231. The sensor unit table includes sensor unit related information corresponding to the sensor unit 120 provided for each sensor unit attachment 100.
One row (one column) in the sensor unit table of the figure is sensor unit related information corresponding to one sensor unit 120. One piece of sensor unit related information includes each region of a sensor unit identifier, a housing complex identifier, a storage container identifier, and a storage container name.

  The sensor unit identifier area stores a sensor unit identifier that uniquely indicates the corresponding sensor unit 120.

The area of the apartment house identifier stores the apartment house identifier indicating the apartment house 10 in which the trash can 20 to which the corresponding sensor unit 120 is attached is installed.
In the housing complex 10, when the trash can 20 is installed in the trash storage for each floor, the corresponding floor is indicated together with the housing 10 by including a digit indicating the floor in the housing identifier. Good.

The storage container identifier area stores a storage container identifier that uniquely indicates the trash can 20 to which the corresponding sensor unit 120 is attached.
When the housing unit identifier is included in the sensor unit related information as in the example of the figure, the same container identifier may be used between different housing units 10. By using the same container identifier between the housing complexes 10, for example, when assigning the container identifier of the trash can 20 so as to reflect the trash separation classification, the trash bin 20 is assigned to the trash bin 20 with the same provision rule for each housing complex 10. Management of the storage container identifier can be simplified, for example, by providing the storage container identifier.

  The storage container name area stores the name (storage container name) assigned to the corresponding trash can. The container name may be a number or the like.

The container state information storage unit 232 is information indicating the state of each trash can 20 in each apartment house 10.
FIG. 9 shows an example of the container state information stored in the container state information storage unit 232. The storage container state information has a structure in which state information indicating the state of the trash can 20 determined by the control unit 202 is associated with each storage container identifier indicating the trash can 20.

An example of a processing procedure executed by the management server 200 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
Step S101: In the sensor unit 120, the communication unit 1223 transmits detection information obtained by detection by the sensor unit 1222 as a distance measuring sensor, for example, at regular intervals. In the management server 200, the control unit 202 determines whether detection information has been received.

Step S102: When the detection information is received, the control unit 202 determines the state of the corresponding trash can 20 based on the received detection information. That is, the control unit 202 calculates the amount accommodated in the trash can 20. The amount of accommodation may be calculated as a ratio to the volume of the trash can 20, for example. Further, the storage amount may be calculated as a capacity based on a ratio to the volume of the trash can 20. In this case, for example, the storage capacity in the trash can 20 is obtained as “20 liters”.
For example, the control unit 202 compares the currently calculated storage amount with the previously calculated storage amount, and if the currently calculated storage amount is smaller, the storage amount decreases as illustrated in FIG. You may determine that you are in a state of having done.

  Step S103: The control unit 202 generates state information that reflects the state of the trash can 20 determined in step S102. The control unit 202 causes the storage container state information storage unit 232 to store the generated state information so as to correspond to the storage container identifier of the corresponding trash can 20.

  Step S104: After the process of step S103, the control unit 202 determines whether or not a capacity limit state has occurred in any of the apartment houses 10. For example, as described above, the control unit 202 determines whether or not the storage limit state has occurred. As described above, the storage amount of the trash bins 20 in the apartment house 10 that is greater than or equal to a certain number (or greater than a certain ratio) is greater than or equal to a certain value. It may be determined whether or not.

  Step S <b> 105: When it is determined that the accommodation limit state has occurred, the control unit 202 transmits a collection instruction to the administrator terminal 300. The collection instruction includes information indicating the apartment house 10 in which the accommodation limit state has occurred. Further, the collection instruction may include information indicating the trash can 20 that needs to be collected according to the storage limit state (for example, a name, number, etc. given to the trash can as a storage container name).

Step S106: After the process of Step S105, when it is determined that the detection information is not received at Step S101, or when it is determined at Step S104 that the accommodation limit state has not occurred, The following processing is executed.
That is, the control unit 202 determines whether or not a container container state screen request from the administrator terminal 300 has been received.
If it is determined that the request for the container state screen is not received, the process returns to step S101.

Step S107: When a request for the storage container state screen is received, the control unit 202 stores the sensor unit related information stored in the sensor unit table storage unit 231 and the storage container state information stored in the storage container state information storage unit 232. For example, the data of the container state screen of the aspect shown in FIG. 2 is generated. The control unit 202 transmits the generated container state screen data to the requesting administrator terminal 300. After the process of step S107, the process returns to step S101.
In the administrator terminal 300, the container state screen transmitted from the management server 200 is displayed on the screen.

<Modification>
Hereinafter, modifications of the present embodiment will be described.
[Modification 1]
In the above-described embodiment, the case where the sensor unit 1222 is a distance measuring sensor has been described as an example, but the sensor unit 1222 is not limited to the distance measuring sensor.
For example, the sensor unit 1222 may be provided with a scale for measuring the weight of what is stored in the trash can 20.
Further, the sensor unit 1222 may be configured to detect opening and closing of the lid unit 22. Specifically, a switch may be provided as the sensor unit 1222 so that the state of pressing and releasing is changed depending on whether the lid unit 22 is closed or opened. In this case, it can be detected that the lid 22 has been opened without being closed because the amount of the trash can 20 exceeds the capacity of the trash can 20.

[Modification 2]
In addition, a plurality of sensor units that detect different objects may be provided as the sensor unit 1222. For example, in the above embodiment, the sensor unit 1222 may include a temperature sensor that detects the temperature inside the trash can 20 in addition to the distance measuring sensor. In this case, for example, when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor becomes equal to or higher than a certain level, the administrator terminal 300 may be notified that there is a trash can 20 having an abnormal temperature.

[Modification 3]
In the above embodiment, the detection information is output by the communication unit 1223 as the detection information output mode based on the detection result of the sensor unit 1222. However, the detection information output mode is such an example. It is not limited.
For example, a light emitting unit such as a light emitting diode may be provided in the sensor unit 120 as a part that outputs detection information based on the detection result of the sensor unit 1222. Moreover, about a light emission part, you may provide what light-emits a several different color. Such a light emitting unit is provided so that, for example, when the sensor unit attachment 100 is attached to a trash can, light emission can be visually recognized by a surrounding person.
In this case, for example, a control unit such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) is provided in the sensor unit 120 so that the calculation can be performed, and then the control unit calculates the accommodation amount based on the detection result of the sensor unit 1222. Good. The control unit causes the light emitting unit to emit light so as to change a light emitting pattern such as a color and a blinking pattern in accordance with the calculated accommodation amount. In this case, for example, the management person W can grasp the accommodation state of the trash can 20 by looking at the light emission pattern of the light emitting unit in the trash can 20.
As an information output unit that outputs detection information, either a communication unit or a light emitting unit may be provided, or a communication unit and a light emitting unit may be used in combination, depending on the application.
Moreover, the output of the detection information based on the detection result of the sensor unit 1222 may be performed by sound. For example, sound output may be performed in response to the case where there is a possibility that the above-described abnormality in the temperature of the trash box 20, mischief or theft may have been performed. As a result, a person other than the person in charge of management W can also notice and quickly cope with the abnormality. In addition, it is possible to effectively warn a person who performs fraud.

[Modification 4]
The attachment part 110 of this embodiment is not limited to the structure which pinches | interposes a part of storage container as illustrated in FIG. For example, the attachment part 110 may have a configuration corresponding to attachment to the storage container by screwing, double-sided tape, or the like.

[Modification 5]
In addition, the sensor unit attachment 100 may be used, for example, after being attached to a trash box that is easily installed in an event venue or the like.

Moreover, the structure which the attachment part 110 itself of the sensor unit attachment 100 functions as a cover part of a storage container, for example may be sufficient.
In this case, the attachment part 110 may be configured to be usable in correspondence with a plurality of storage containers having different opening sizes. FIG. 1 shows one specific example of a sensor unit attachment 100 having such an attachment part 110.
In the same figure, the sensor unit attachment 100 integrated with the cover part of the storage container is shown. In addition, in the figure, illustration of parts other than the dye-sensitized solar cell 121 is omitted as a part included in the sensor unit 120.
The attachment part 110 in the sensor unit attachment 100 of the figure is an aspect in which stepped parts 110a, 110b, 110c corresponding to the sizes of the openings of three different storage containers are formed.
Also, in the figure, among the stepped portions 110a, 110b, and 110c, the main body portion 21A of the opening container having a size corresponding to the stepped portion 110a and the main body portion 21A of the opening container corresponding to the stepped portion 110b. Is shown.
In the case of the sensor unit attachment 100 having such an attachment portion 110, for example, the sensor unit attachment 100 is accurately positioned in correspondence with each of the main body portions 21A of a plurality of storage containers having different prescribed sizes. Can be covered.

[Modification 6]
In each of the above embodiments, instead of the dye-sensitized solar cell 121, for example, a flexible solar cell such as a perovskite solar cell, a CIGS solar cell, or an amorphous silicon solar cell may be employed. Alternatively, multiple types of flexible solar cells may be used in combination.
