In recent years, activity-based working (ABW) has been introduced more and more. Activity-based working refers to a work style in which a place or desk is selected according to the work content. For example, activity-based working refers to flexibly choosing a place to work, such as performing intensive work in a quiet room and holding meetings on a sofa or the like. Activity-based working can mean sharing a desk, but sharing a desk is not essential.

Regarding the technology for grasping the usage pattern of offices, a technology for outputting information on the current usage status in the analysis target area, which is necessary for proposing a new configuration or reconstruction of the analysis target area such as an office, is known. (See, for example, Patent Document 1). In this technology, a terminal ID transmitted from a terminal carried by a person moving in the analysis target area, a position ID indicating the position where the terminal exists when the terminal ID is transmitted, and the position ID are indicated. The time when a person exists at a position is acquired, and the combination of the terminal ID, the position ID, and the time is accumulated each time they are acquired. Then, based on the accumulated information of the combination of the plurality of terminal IDs, the position IDs, and the time, the usage status of a person in each of the plurality of small areas provided in the analysis target area is analyzed and output.

The display unit 160 is controlled by a processor such as a CPU to display an image, a GUI (Graphical User Interface), or the like. In this example, the operation unit 150 is a touch panel.

The information processing unit 130 is a software function unit realized by, for example, a processor such as a CPU executing a program 141 stored in the storage unit 140 and an application 142. All or part of the information processing unit 130 may be realized by hardware such as LSI, ASIC, or FPGA, or may be realized by a combination of software function unit and hardware.
The information processing unit 130 functions as, for example, a reception unit 132, an analysis unit 134, and a moving distance derivation unit 136.
The reception unit 132 acquires the chair information output by the communication unit 110, and receives the acquired chair information. The reception unit 132 outputs the received chair information to the analysis unit 134.
The analysis unit 134 acquires the chair information output by the reception unit 132, and acquires the identification information of the transmitter 7a included in the acquired chair information. The analysis unit 134 acquires the chair identification information stored in association with the acquired identification information of the transmitter 7a from the identification information correspondence table 143 stored in the storage unit 140. The analysis unit 134 associates the acquired chair identification information with the position information of the transmitter 7a included in the chair information.

The moving distance deriving unit 136 outputs the result of adding the distances to the analysis unit 134.
The analysis unit 134 acquires the result of adding the distance output by the moving distance derivation unit 136, and analyzes the usage status of the chair based on the result of adding the acquired distance. Specifically, the analysis unit 134 may determine the usage status of the chair based on each of a plurality of preset distance threshold values. For example, the analysis unit 134 determines that the chair inspection is recommended when the result of adding the distances is equal to or greater than the distance threshold value recommended for the chair inspection. The analysis unit 134 causes the display unit 160 to indicate that the chair is recommended to be inspected. Further, for example, when the result of adding the distances is equal to or greater than the distance threshold value for recommending the replacement of chairs, the analysis unit 134 determines that the replacement of chairs is recommended. The analysis unit 134 causes the display unit 160 to indicate that it is recommended to replace the chair.

The explanation will be continued by returning to FIG.
The analysis unit 134 derives an index indicating the usage status of the office. For example, the analysis unit 134 has a congestion rate, which is information indicating the congestion status of chairs, a capacity occupancy rate, which is information indicating an occupancy rate with respect to a preset capacity for the office, and the number of chairs with respect to the capacity of the office. At least one piece of information with the information indicating the occupancy rate, which is the information indicating the occupancy rate, is derived. For example, the analysis unit 134 derives the congestion rate by dividing the number of chairs included in the room R by the area of the room R. The analysis unit 134 derives the capacity occupancy rate by dividing the number of chairs included in the room R by the capacity of the room R. Here, the capacity of the room R is set in advance. The analysis unit 134 derives the occupancy rate by dividing the number of chairs included in the room R by the number of chairs that can be carried into the room R. The number of chairs that can be carried into room R is preset. The analysis unit 134 causes the display unit 160 to display at least one piece of information, that is, information indicating the congestion rate, information indicating the capacity utilization rate, and information indicating the occupancy rate.

Judge that it is inside. Here, the time threshold value is set in advance based on the timing at which the transmitter 7c transmits the beacon signal and the timing at which the terminal device 30 transmits the beacon signal. The distance threshold is preset based on the distance between the position of the terminal device 30 and the position of the transmitter 7c when the user H is using the fixture 20 with a top plate. Here, from the viewpoint of avoiding that a user passing in the vicinity of the top plate fixture 20 erroneously detects that the top plate fixture 20 is being used, the discriminating unit 135 determines the position of the terminal device 30.

Further, the above program may be for realizing a part of the above-mentioned functions. Further, the above-mentioned program may be realized by combining the above-mentioned functions with a program already recorded in the computer system. Further, the above program may be realized by using a programmable logic device. The programmable logic device is, for example, an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).

The processing device 200, the information processing device 100, and the information processing device 100a described above have a computer inside. The processing processes of the processing device 200 and the information processing device 100 described above are stored in a computer-readable recording medium in the form of a program, and the computer reads and executes the program to perform the processing. Will be done.
Here, the computer-readable recording medium refers to a magnetic disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, a semiconductor memory, or the like. Further, this computer program may be distributed to a computer via a communication line, and the computer receiving the distribution may execute the program.
Further, the above program may be for realizing a part of the above-mentioned functions.
Further, it may be a so-called difference file (difference program) that can realize the above-mentioned function in combination with a program already recorded in the computer system.
