Although FIG. 1 shows only two measurement devices 10, mobile terminals 15, mobile terminals 20, and terminal devices 30, each number may be used.

  The measuring device 10 is an example of a measuring device that measures air quality. In the present embodiment, the measuring device 10 measures the air quality of the facility. Here, “air quality” generally refers to the amount of gas components in air such as in a building. Specifically, it is the concentration of components contained in air, such as PM2.5, PM10, pollen, VOC, and the like. The “air quality” may also include the concentration of the odor component, temperature, humidity, pressure, yellow sand, and the like. “Facilities” are structures used by people for social life, and mainly mean buildings and their facilities. In the case of this embodiment, the use of the facility is not particularly limited. For example, accommodation facilities such as hotels, commercial facilities such as restaurants and clothing stores, leisure facilities such as amusement parks and bowling alleys, public facilities such as city halls, transportation facilities such as stations, airports and bus terminals, clinics and hospitals, etc. Medical facilities.

  The measuring device 10 is distributed by, for example, an operator of the air quality evaluation system 1. Hereinafter, a person to whom the measuring device 10 has been distributed may be referred to as a “distribution target person”. When the distribution target receives the measurement device 10, the distribution target measures the air quality of the facility. Then, when the predetermined measurement is completed, the measuring device 10 is returned to the operator of the air quality evaluation system 1. The distribution of the measuring device 10 may be free or paid. Alternatively, a deposit method may be used in which a predetermined deposit is collected from the distribution target when the measuring device 10 is distributed, and the deposit is returned to the distribution target when the measuring device 10 is returned.

Items of the air quality measured by the measuring device 10 are not particularly limited. For example, fine particles floating in the atmosphere are measured. For example, among the fine particles floating in the air, the concentration of PM2.5 is about 2.5 μm or less, and the fine particles floating in the air is PM10 whose particle diameter is about 10 μm or less. Measure the concentration or pollen concentration.

For example, the concentration of VOC and the concentration of odor components are measured. Examples of the odor component include lower fatty acids that are the main component of human sweat odor, and 3-vinylpyridine that is the main component of cigarette odor.
Further, the measuring device 10 may measure temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and the like as items of the air itself.
These are items related to the cleanliness of the air and the comfort in the room, and, for example, determine whether a person in the air feels comfortable or uncomfortable.

  The mobile terminal 15 and the mobile terminal 20 are mobile terminals such as a mobile computer, a mobile phone, a smartphone, and a tablet. The mobile terminal 20 connects to the access point 90 to perform wireless communication. Then, the mobile terminals 15 and 20 are connected to the network 70 that performs wired communication via the access point 90. As will be described in detail later, the mobile terminal 15 is a mobile terminal owned by a distribution target who performs air quality measurement using the measurement device 10, and the mobile terminal 20 is an information receiver provided with air quality information. It is a mobile terminal owned by the provider.

The terminal device 30 is, for example, a so-called general-purpose personal computer (PC). Further, similarly to the mobile terminal 20, a mobile terminal such as a smartphone and a tablet may be used. The terminal device 30 can perform various types of information processing by operating various types of application software under the management of an OS (Operating System).
In the present embodiment, the terminal device 30 is provided in a facility, and the terminal device 30 allows a facility manager or the like to browse the air quality information sent from the management server 40.

  The management server 40 is a server computer that manages the entire air quality evaluation system 1. As will be described in detail later, for example, the management server 40 receives the information on the air quality of the facility from the measuring device 10 and stores the received information on the air quality. Further, the management server 40 analyzes the air quality information and creates analysis information obtained by analyzing the air quality of the facility.

Each of the mobile terminal 15, the mobile terminal 20, the terminal device 30, and the management server 40 includes a CPU serving as an arithmetic unit, a main memory serving as a storage unit, and an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). Here, the CPU executes various software such as an OS (basic software) and an application program (application software).

<Outline of operation of air quality evaluation system 1>
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a schematic operation of the air quality evaluation system 1.
First, the distribution target person of the measuring device 10 measures the air quality of the facility (1A). At this time, the measuring device 10 also acquires the position of the own device (1B). The position of the own device can be obtained by, for example, incorporating a GPS (Global Positioning System) function in the measuring device 10. However, it is not always necessary that the GPS function is built in the measuring device 10, and the GPS function may be provided as a separate device, from which position information can be acquired. At this time, the measurement device 10 may communicate with the mobile terminal 15 by Bluetooth or the like, for example, and acquire the position information measured using the GPS function built in the mobile terminal 15. Instead of the GPS function or in combination with the GPS function, the position of the own device may be obtained using the information on the position of the Wi-Fi access point.

  Since the measuring device 10 measures the air quality in the facility, the obtained position is also the position of the facility. Therefore, in this case, it can be said that the measuring device 10 acquires the location of the facility.

  Next, the measurement device 10 transmits measurement data as information on the measured air quality to the management server 40 via the access point 90, the network 70, and the network 80. Further, information on the position of the own device is transmitted as position information (1C).

Then, the management server 40 stores the transmitted measurement data and position information in an HDD or the like (1D).
Further, the management server 40 specifies the facility based on the position information, analyzes the measurement data, and stores both (1E).

  Further, the management server 40 gives a service for this facility to the distribution target person (1F). The contents of this service will be described later. The grant of the service is sent to the portable terminal 15 owned by the distribution target person. In this case, the measuring device 10 and the mobile terminal 15 are linked, and the service information is transmitted to the mobile terminal 15 linked with the measuring device 10.

  On the other hand, a user who wants to obtain air quality information operates the mobile terminal 20 and uses an Internet browsing application such as a browser to connect to an Internet website that provides air quality information and select a facility. . Then, the management server 40 transmits air quality information about the facility selected by the user to the portable terminal 20 (1G). This allows the user to obtain information on the air quality of the selected facility. Hereinafter, a user who wants to obtain air quality information may be referred to as an “information recipient”.

  In addition, a facility manager who wants to obtain air quality information can operate the terminal device 30 to perform the same operation as the portable terminal 20. As a result, the management server 40 transmits information on the air quality of this facility to the terminal device 30 (1H). Thus, the facility manager can obtain information on the air quality of the facility.

  Next, a detailed functional configuration and operation of the air quality evaluation system 1 of the present embodiment will be described.

<Description of Functional Configuration of Air Quality Evaluation System 1>
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration example of the air quality evaluation system 1.
Here, among the various functions of the air quality evaluation system 1, those related to the present embodiment are selected and shown.
In the air quality evaluation system 1, the measurement device 10 includes an air quality measurement unit 11 that measures the air quality, a position acquisition unit 12 that acquires the position of the own device, a display unit 13 that displays a measurement result of the air quality, It has a transmitting / receiving unit 14 for transmitting / receiving information to / from the management server 40.

  The air quality measuring unit 11 takes in the air around the measuring device 10 and measures the air quality. For example, when measuring the concentration of PM2.5 or PM10 as the air quality, the air quality measurement unit 11 is a particle counter (particle counter). The particle counter measures, for example, the size and quantity of fine particles by a light scattering method. Specifically, the particle counter first takes in a certain amount of air. Then, while taking in air, the laser diode irradiates the air into which the laser light has been taken from a laser diode. This laser light is, for example, an infrared laser having a wavelength of 790 nm. When there are fine particles in the air, light is scattered by the fine particles, and the scattered light is captured by a detector provided at, for example, 90 degrees from the optical axis, and generates an electric signal. The detector is, for example, a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) sensor. At this time, since the magnitude of the electric signal varies depending on the size of the fine particles, the particle diameter of the particles can be determined from this. The number of times the electric signal is counted is the number of particles. That is, the number of particles can be measured for each particle size of the fine particles in the air. Then, the concentration can be calculated based on the number of particles.

  The particle size of pollen is substantially constant for each plant. For example, the particle size of cedar pollen is about 30 μm. Accordingly, the number of pollen particles can be measured by regarding the fine particles of about 30 μm as pollen. In addition, by judging the shape of the fine particles, etc., when fine particles of about 30 μm are detected, it is possible to distinguish between dust and pollen.

  Organic substances in the air, such as VOCs, can be measured by, for example, an automatic thermal desorption-gas chromatograph / mass spectrometer (ATD-GC / MS). Specifically, first, air as a sample gas is sealed in a collection tube. Then, an inert gas such as nitrogen or helium is passed through the collection tube to remove water, and then the collection tube is heated to desorb volatile components. Further, the desorbed components are cold-trapped in a secondary collection tube (trap), and the secondary collection tube is rapidly heated to introduce volatile components into a GC column for analysis. Then, based on the obtained chromatogram in which the horizontal axis represents the detection time and the vertical axis represents the detection intensity, the type of the organic substance can be calculated from the detection time and the concentration can be calculated from the detection intensity.

  Further, the temperature, humidity, and pressure of the air can be measured by a known thermometer, hygrometer, and barometer.

  The position obtaining unit 12 obtains position information using the above-described GPS function or Wi-Fi access point.

  The display unit 13 displays the measurement data measured by the air quality measurement unit 11. Specifically, for example, a measurement item such as PM2.5 and the concentration in the air for each measurement item are displayed. Further, the measurement date and time and the position information acquired by the position acquisition unit 12 may be displayed. The display unit 13 is, for example, a liquid crystal panel built in the measuring device 10.

  The transmission / reception unit 14 is, for example, a communication I / F. The transmission / reception unit 14 communicates with the management server 40 to exchange predetermined information. In this case, the transmission / reception unit 14 includes the measurement data measured by the air quality measurement unit 11 and the position information of the own device. In addition, a measurement time, a unique ID of the measurement device 10, and the like are included.

  As illustrated, the mobile terminal 15, the mobile terminal 20, and the terminal device 30 have the same functional configuration. That is, it includes transmission / reception units 16, 21, 31 for transmitting / receiving information, display units 17, 22, 32 for displaying images, and input units 18, 23, 33 for inputting information.

  The transmission / reception units 16, 21, 31 are, for example, communication I / Fs, and transmit / receive information to / from the management server 40 via the access point 90, the network 70, and the network 80.

  The display units 17, 22, 32 are, for example, touch panels. In this case, the display units 17, 22, 32 include a display on which various information is displayed, and a position detection sheet for detecting a position touched by a finger, a stylus pen, or the like. As a means for detecting a contact position, any method such as a resistive film method for detecting based on pressure due to contact or a capacitance method for detecting based on static electricity of a contacted object is used. Is also good. When the terminal device 30 is a PC, the display unit 32 is, for example, a liquid crystal display for the PC. However, the present invention is not limited to the liquid crystal system, and any device having a function of displaying an image may be used. Therefore, for example, a liquid crystal television, a cathode ray tube display, an organic EL display, a plasma display, a projector, or the like may be used.

  The input units 18, 23, and 33 are, for example, the touch panels described above. That is, in this case, the touch panel has the functions of both the display units 17, 22, 32 and the input units 18, 23, 33. The input units 18, 22, and 33 may be configured by a keyboard, a mouse, and the like.

  The management server 40 includes a transmission / reception unit 41 that communicates with the outside, a storage unit 42 that stores predetermined information, a facility identification unit 43 that identifies a facility, an analysis unit 44 that analyzes the air quality of the facility, A service providing unit 45 for providing a service to the target person.

  The transmission / reception unit 41 is, for example, a communication I / F, and communicates with the measurement device 10, the mobile terminal 15, the mobile terminal 20, and the terminal device 30 to exchange predetermined information. The transmission / reception unit 41 is an example of an acquisition unit, and acquires measurement data obtained by the measurement device 10 and position information that is information on the position of the measurement device 10.

The storage unit 42 is an example of a storage unit, and stores information on a distribution target person to whom the measurement device 10 has been distributed. Specifically, the information of the distribution target may be any information that can identify the distribution target, for example, information such as the address, name, gender, age, telephone number, mail address, member number, etc. of the distribution target. is there. Further, the unique ID of the measuring device 10 distributed to the distribution target is linked to the information of the distribution target and stored. Thereby, the distribution target person can be specified based on the unique ID of the measuring device 10.
The storage unit 42 stores the measurement data and the position information transmitted from the measurement device 10. Further, the storage unit 42 stores information of a service associated with the facility.

  The facility specifying unit 43 is an example of a specifying unit, and specifies a facility from which measurement data has been acquired based on position information. That is, since the facility is located at a predetermined position, it is possible to specify the facility from the position information. Further, the facility specifying unit 43 acquires information on the specified facility. The facility information may be stored in the storage unit 42 in advance, or may be obtained from information existing in the network 70 such as the Internet. At this time, the facility identification unit 43 can also acquire, as the facility information, the address, the telephone number, the content of the service to be provided, the evaluation, and the like in addition to the facility name.

The analysis unit 44 is an example of an analysis unit, and analyzes the acquired measurement data. The analysis unit 44 ranks air quality for each facility, for example.
The analysis unit 44 also creates display information on a website that provides air quality information on the Internet. By using this website, the information recipient who is the user of the mobile terminal 20 can acquire the information on the air quality of the selected facility. Further, the manager of the facility operating the terminal device 30 can acquire information on the air quality of the own facility and other facilities.

  The service assigning unit 45 is an example of an assigning unit, and assigns a service to the specified facility to the distribution target based on the distribution target information stored in the storage unit 42. This service may be, for example, a service provided by the facility, or a privilege such as a discount of a membership ticket or a usage fee, the provision of points, or the provision of a coupon.

<Detailed description of operation of measurement device 10 and management server 40>
Next, an example of an operation performed by the measurement device 10 and the management server 40 of the present embodiment will be described in more detail.

[First Embodiment]
First, a first embodiment of the operation performed by the measurement device 10 and the management server 40 will be described. In the first embodiment, a case will be described in which the distribution target of the measuring device 10 measures the air quality of the facility, and as a result, the distribution target is given a service from the management server 40.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating operations performed by the measurement device 10 and the management server 40 in the first embodiment.
In the first embodiment, first, the distribution target person of the measuring device 10 operates the measuring device 10 to measure the air quality of the facility (step 101). The air quality is measured by the air quality measuring unit 11, and the result is displayed on the display unit 13.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a case where the measurement device 10 displays a measurement result of air quality.
The illustrated measurement device 10 includes a detection unit 110 corresponding to the air quality measurement unit 11 and a display 120 corresponding to the display unit 13. To measure air quality, the distribution target operates the arrow keys 131 and 132 to select an item or the like for which air quality is to be measured. Then, by pressing the execution key 133, the measurement of the air quality is executed. Here, an example is shown in which the concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 are measured as air quality items, and the results are displayed on the display 120.
The function of displaying the measurement result on the display unit 13 is not always necessary. That is, although the air quality is measured, it is not always necessary to display the measurement result and confirm the distribution target person. In this case, the display unit 13 is unnecessary and may not be provided.

Returning to FIG. 4, next, the measuring device 10 acquires the position of the own device when the air quality is measured (Step 102). The position of the own device is obtained by the position obtaining unit 12 using the above-described GPS function or Wi-Fi access point.
Then, the transmission / reception unit 14 transmits to the management server 40 the measurement data that is the information of the measured air quality and the position information that is the information of the position of the own device (step 103). At this time, the transmission / reception unit 14 also transmits information on the date and time when the air quality was measured and information on the unique ID of the measurement device 10. At the same time, a comment or the like of the distribution target may be transmitted.

  In the management server 40, the transmission / reception unit 41 receives the information (Step 104). Then, it is stored in the storage unit 42 (step 105).

  Next, the facility specifying unit 43 specifies the facility whose air quality has been measured based on the position information (step 106). This facility information is stored in the storage unit 42 in association with the measurement data.

  Further, the analysis unit 44 analyzes the acquired measurement data (step 107). The analysis unit 44 ranks air quality for each facility and creates display information of a website provided on the Internet that provides air quality information.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a method of ranking the air quality.
Here, the analysis unit 44 determines the priority based on the score calculated based on the measurement data. In the illustrated example, a case is shown in which a score is obtained using the concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, pollen, and VOC as measurement data. As a calculation rule for obtaining a score, a weight is multiplied for each item of air quality. Then, the values after the multiplication are all added together. The higher the score, the worse the air quality, and the lower the score, the better the air quality. Therefore, the air quality can be ranked based on this score. In other words, it can be said that the analysis unit 44 weights and ranks each air quality item.

  Here, 2 is set for PM2.5, 1 is set for PM10, 5 is set for pollen, and 1 is set for VOC. Here, the reason why the weight is increased with respect to pollen is that, in recent years, many people have hay fever and often place importance on pollen. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the weight can be freely set. For example, PM2.5, PM10, etc. may worsen respiratory diseases such as asthma. Therefore, in a medical facility such as a hospital, the weight of PM2.5 or PM10 may be increased.

The ranking may be uniformly performed for the facility whose air quality has been measured according to the above-described calculation rule, but is preferably performed for each type of business. That is, as described in the example of the medical facility, the required cleanliness of the air quality and the required standard of the air quality differ depending on the type of business.
This ranking is also stored in the storage unit 42.

FIGS. 7A and 7B are diagrams showing a data structure of data relating to air quality stored in the storage unit 42 in the first embodiment.
Among them, FIG. 7A is a diagram showing the measurement data and the attribute information attached to the measurement data.
The measurement data indicates the concentration of each of the aforementioned PM2.5, PM10, pollen, and VOC. The unit of this concentration is (μg / m ³ ). Therefore, for example, when a numerical value of 1.8 is stored for PM2.5, it means that the concentration of PM2.5 was 1.8 (μg / m ³ ).

In this case, the attribute information includes “measurement date and time” at which the air quality was measured, “facility name” at which the air quality was measured, “rank” as a result of ranking, and “measurement” which is a unique ID of the measurement device 10. Of the distribution target that has distributed the measuring device 10 is stored. Here, the mail address of the distribution target is stored for “distribution target”. Further, the information of the “distribution target person” may further store information such as the address, name, gender, age, telephone number, and member number of the distribution target person.
The information in FIG. 7A is sequentially accumulated every time the distribution target measures the air quality.

FIG. 7B shows the facility name and the content of the service to be provided for the facility that provides the service.
If the distribution target person has a facility name in FIG. 7B for the facility whose air quality has been measured, this facility is a facility to which a service is provided. In this case, the service shown in FIG. 7B is provided to the distribution target person. On the other hand, if there is no facility name in FIG. Therefore, in this case, no service is provided even if the air quality is measured.
The information in FIG. 7B is information created in advance for the facility to which the service is provided.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, there are two lists as the data structure. In other words, this data structure is a first data area (FIG. 7 (a)) in which the measurement data of the air quality in the facility and the information of the distribution target to whom the measuring instrument for measuring the air quality is distributed are stored in association with each other. ), And a second data area (see FIG. 7 (b)) in which the facility and the contents of the service provided by the facility to the distribution target are stored in association with each other. Then, the air quality evaluation system 1 that provides a service to the distribution target refers to the first data area, specifies the distribution target who measured the air quality of the facility, and refers to the second data area. Then, if the facility where the air quality is measured is included in the second data area, a service is provided.

Returning to FIG. 4 again, the service providing unit 45 determines whether or not the facility whose air quality has been measured is a facility to which a service is provided (step 108). This can be performed by referring to the facility name data shown in FIG.
If the facility is a facility to which the service is to be provided (Yes in step 108), the service to the facility whose air quality has been measured is provided to the distribution target person (step 109). The contents of the service can be performed by referring to the data of the contents of the service shown in FIG. In addition, the service is provided by using the data of the “distribution target person” in FIG. In this case, since the data of the “distribution target person” is an e-mail address, a notification is given to this e-mail address that a service is to be provided.
On the other hand, if the facility is not the facility to which the service is to be provided (No in step 108), the service is not provided and the series of processing ends. At this time, the service providing unit 45 may notify the distribution target that the facility whose air quality has been measured is a facility to which no service is provided.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a specific example of the service to be provided.
Here, a case is shown in which the distribution target receives a coupon of 10% OFF for all items of the burger as a result of measuring the air quality of the burger as a facility. The coupon is displayed on the display unit 150 of the portable terminal 15 owned by the distribution target. In this case, a coupon 152 is displayed on the display unit 150 together with a message 151 “Thank you for measuring the air quality of the burger. The following coupon will be sent in return.” If the distribution target has a comment or the like when the air quality is measured, this may be displayed as a column for a review or the like.

[Second embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the operation performed by the measurement device 10 and the management server 40 will be described. In the second embodiment, the measuring device 10 measures the air quality at a predetermined time. In this case, the distribution target measures not only the equipment that he / she has performed, but also, for example, the air quality on the way to and from the facility.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating operations performed by the measurement device 10 and the management server 40 in the second embodiment.
In the second embodiment, first, the air quality measuring unit 11 of the measuring device 10 determines whether or not it is time to measure the air quality (Step 201). This time may be set at a predetermined time, for example, every 10 minutes or every hour, or the time of measurement during one day may be set in advance.
If the time to measure the air quality has not come (No in step 201), the process returns to step 201.
On the other hand, when it is time to measure the air quality (Yes in step 201), the air quality measurement unit 11 measures the air quality (step 202). In this case, the operation of the distribution target person is not particularly necessary, and the measuring apparatus 10 automatically measures the air quality, so to speak. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the distribution target wants to measure the air quality, measurement may be performed manually.

  Steps 203 to 206 are the same as steps 102 to 105 in FIG.

  After step 207, the facility specifying unit 43 specifies the place where the air quality was measured based on the position information (step 207). This place may be a facility as in the first embodiment, but may be outside the facility. In the case where the distribution target is outside the facility, for example, the case where the air quality is measured when the distribution target person is walking on any road corresponds to the case. Then, when the place is a facility, the facility specifying unit 43 specifies the facility based on the position information, similarly to the first embodiment. When it is outside the facility, the address of this place is specified based on the position information. The information on the facility and the address is stored in the storage unit 42 in association with the measurement data. The location information is not particularly limited as long as the location can be specified. The location information may be, for example, information such as latitude and longitude.

  Further, the analysis unit 44 analyzes the acquired measurement data in the same manner as in Step 107 of the first embodiment (Step 208).

FIGS. 10A and 10B are diagrams illustrating a data structure of data related to air quality stored in the storage unit 42 in the second embodiment.
Of these, FIG. 10B is the same as FIG. 7B, and shows the facility name and the content of the service to be provided for the facility that provides the service.
On the other hand, FIG. 10A is a diagram showing the measurement data and the attribute information attached to the measurement data as in FIG. 7A, but not only the measurement data of the facility but also the measurement data of the facility outside the facility. Including. That is, when the place where the air quality is measured is a facility, the process is the same as in FIG. 7A. However, when the place is outside the facility, the address of the place is stored instead of the facility name. No ranking is attached. The example shown in FIG. 10 shows an example in which measurement data outside the facility and attribute information associated therewith are added to the third and fourth lines with respect to the example shown in FIG. In this case, the measurement of the air quality is performed twice at 12:00 and 14:00 of 2018/7/10 by the measuring device 10 with the measuring device ID of 1138, and the former is a facility △ ×× It is the air quality measurement data at the hotel, and the latter means the air quality measurement data at Minato-ku, Tokyo xx outside the facility.

  Returning to FIG. 9, Steps 209 to 210 are the same as Steps 108 to 109 in FIG. At this time, if the air quality outside the facility is measured, the result is No in step 209, and no service is provided.

<Detailed description of operation of mobile terminal 20 and management server 40>
Next, an example of an operation performed by the mobile terminal 20 and the management server 40 according to the present embodiment will be described in more detail.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating operations performed by the mobile terminal 20 and the management server 40.
First, an information recipient who wants to view air quality information operates an application such as a browser operating on the mobile terminal 20. In this case, while being displayed on the display unit 22 such as a touch panel, an operation is similarly performed by the input unit 23 such as a touch panel. Then, a connection is made to a website provided by the management server 40 and capable of browsing air quality information (step 301).

Next, the information recipient operates a menu screen or the like on the connected website to select a facility whose air quality is to be viewed (step 302).
The information of the selected facility is sent to the management server 40 via the transmission / reception unit 21, and the transmission / reception unit 41 of the management server 40 receives the information (step 303).
Then, the analysis unit 44 of the management server 40 creates display information of the air quality at the requested facility and sends it to the portable terminal 20 via the transmission / reception unit 41 (step 304).

  The transmitted / received display information is received by the transmission / reception unit 41, and information on the air quality of the facility selected on the display unit 22 is displayed (step 305).

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of air quality information displayed in step 305 of FIG.
As shown, air quality information 211 is displayed at the top of the display 210. Here, PM2.5, PM10, pollen, and VOC are displayed as the air quality of the burger @ facility. The air quality is displayed in four levels of （(almost none), 〇 (small), △ (normal), and × (bad). In this case, since there is no evaluation of x (bad), x (bad) is not displayed. Then, when the route display button 212 is touched from this screen, a route display described later is displayed. When the return button 213 is touched, it is possible to return to a screen immediately before the screen on which this screen is displayed.

  When measuring the air quality outside the facility as in the second embodiment, the air quality around the facility can also be displayed. In this case, the information recipient can estimate the air quality of the facility and the environment around the facility based on the air quality information. As described above, in the second embodiment, the analysis unit 44 can further analyze the air quality outside the facility and provide the information on the air quality outside the facility in association with the information on the air quality of the facility.

  Further, in the present embodiment, advertisement 214 is displayed below display 210. This advertisement is allowed to be displayed, for example, for facilities with good air quality within the same business category. In this example, since the 広 告 × △ burger is the same type of business and the 〇 × △ burger has the best result in the above ranking, the 〇 × △ burger advertisement is displayed.

  In this way, if the display of the advertisement is permitted for the facilities with the good ranking, competition on the air quality between the facilities can be promoted, and the incentive for improving the air quality can be given to each facility. . Further, the operator of the management server 40 can obtain the advertisement income from the facility displaying the advertisement. The operator of the management server 40 can also obtain income from facilities that want to measure air quality and companies that want to use the information on the website.

FIG. 13 shows a screen displayed when the route display button 212 is touched in FIG.
In the illustrated screen, a current location 217 and a burger position 218 are displayed on a map 216. Then, a route 219 from the current location 217 to the burger position 218 is displayed. The route 219 is a route in consideration of the air quality, and selects a route with better air quality. This route can refer to the air quality outside the facility in the second embodiment, select a place with better air quality, and determine it. Then, as shown in the figure, a message 215 "Selected route with beautiful air" is displayed, and the information recipient is notified that a route with better air quality has been selected. As described above, in the second embodiment, the analysis unit 44 obtains a route to the browsed facility based on the air quality information outside the facility, and determines the route to the information recipient who browsed the air quality information. Can be provided.

In addition, temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure may be included as air quality information. When the temperature is included as the information on the air quality, a route having the most appropriate temperature for walking is selected. For example, when the season is summer, a route with a temperature as low as possible is selected. Alternatively, select a route that has as many shades as possible. On the other hand, when the season is winter, a route having a temperature as high as possible is selected. Alternatively, select a route with as little shade as possible. When the humidity is included as the information on the air quality, a route suitable for walking the humidity is selected.
Further, information other than air quality may be considered in selecting a route. Information other than the air quality includes, for example, rainfall and wind speed. When taking into account the amount of rainfall, a route that does not rain, or a route that passes through a shopping street with an arcade, an underground mall, or the like is selected as much as possible. When the wind speed is taken into consideration, a route having the lowest possible wind speed is selected. That is, in this case, the analysis unit 44 obtains a route suitable for walking to the browsed facility based on information other than the air quality in addition to the air quality information.

  In the first embodiment, measurement data of air quality outside the facility cannot be used. Therefore, to select this route, for example, a point with good air quality is selected in advance, and based on this, For example, a route can be determined. Good air quality points include, for example, living roads avoiding national roads and prefectural roads, roads along rivers, and the like.

  Here, as the route display, the directions on foot have been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be displayed when using a transportation such as a railroad, a bus, a ferry, or an airplane.

  Note that, as described with reference to FIG. 2, the same can be performed not only with the mobile terminal 20 but also with the terminal device 30. Therefore, the facility manager can browse the air quality information of the own facility or another facility. In addition, in the terminal device 30, in addition to this, for example, a facility manager may be able to obtain advice suitable for improving the air quality of the facility from the management server 40. For example, advice includes improvement of air equipment, plant arrangement, regular ventilation, installation of equipment related to space improvement, and the like. Further, advice may be provided on the recruitment of a trader who can execute the above. Further, the advertisement of this trader may be sent from the management server 40. Furthermore, for facilities with good air quality, the fact that the air quality is good can be used for advertising and advice can be given to attract customers.

According to the embodiment described in detail above, an incentive to measure air quality can be given to a distribution target as a provider that provides air quality information.
Further, in the embodiment described in detail above, the air quality evaluation system 1 includes the measuring device 10, the mobile terminals 15, 20, the terminal device 30, and the management server 40 via the network 70, the network 80, and the access point 90.
