(Embodiment)
[Overview]
First, an outline of the information processing system according to the embodiment will be described with reference to a comparative example. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of an information processing system according to a comparative example. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an outline of an information processing system according to an embodiment.

Each of the information processing system 10a according to the comparative example and the information processing system 10 according to the embodiment is a system for the first business operator to provide data to the second business operator. Specifically, the data is provided from the server device 20 managed by the first business operator to the information terminal 30 of the second business operator. The server device 20 collects data managed by the control terminal 40 (for example, power consumption data in the exclusive unit 81) from the control terminals 40 installed in each of the plurality of exclusive units 81 in the apartment house 80, for example. And have accumulated. The data provided from the server device 20 managed by the first business operator to the information terminal 30 of the second business operator is such accumulated data.

In the information processing system 10a according to the comparative example, the procedure until the data is provided to the second business operator is as follows. First, the second business operator concludes a contract for receiving data from the first business operator ((1) in FIG. 1). Next, the second business operator requests each of the plurality of residents to issue a data provision code ((2) in FIG. 1).

Each of the plurality of residents performs a manual operation for issuing a data provision code to the control terminal 40 installed in the exclusive section 81 in which the resident resides ((3) in FIG. 1). .. Then, the data provision code is issued by the control terminal 40, and the issued data provision code is notified from the control terminal 40 to the resident. The resident manually informs the second business operator of the data provision code ((3) in FIG. 1). Further, the control terminal 40 transmits information indicating the correspondence between the identification information of the control terminal 40 (hereinafter, also referred to as the second identification information) and the data providing code to the server device 20, and the server device 20 transmits this information. Remember.

The second business operator operates the information terminal 30 in order to receive data from the first business operator. This operation includes an operation of manually inputting the data provision code contacted by the resident ((4) in FIG. 1). In response to this operation, request information is transmitted from the information terminal 30 to the server device 20 ((5) in FIG. 1).

The identification information of the control terminal 40 is added to the data in the area ahead of the server device 20. With the issuance of the data provision code of (3) above, the server device 20 stores information indicating the correspondence between the second identification information of the control terminal 40 and the data provision code. Therefore, the server device 20 stores the second identification information. It can be said that the data provision code is indirectly associated with the accumulated data.

Then, the server device 20 can specify the data associated with the data providing code included in the request information from the data stored in the server device 20, and provide the specified data to the information terminal 30. ((6) in FIG. 1).

In the information processing system 10a as described above, it is necessary for the resident to perform a manual operation for issuing the data provision code to the control terminal 40, and further to inform the second business operator of the data provision code. .. Such work is troublesome, and since it is an artificial work, there is a concern that a communication error of the data provision code may occur. In addition, the second business operator needs to manage the data provision code and which resident the data provision code belongs to.

On the other hand, in the information processing system 10 according to the embodiment, the data is uploaded from the control terminal 40 to the server device 20 by using the intercom device 50 and the management device 60 installed in each exclusive portion 81 of the apartment house 80. Data grouping (sorting) is performed. Generally, the room number of the exclusive unit 81 is initially set in the intercom device 50 when it is installed in the exclusive unit 81. In other words, the room number of the exclusive unit 81 is the identification information of the exclusive unit 81 (hereinafter, also referred to as the first identification information). This initial setting is performed by the installer (constructor) or the like operating the intercom device 50.

After that, when the installer or the like (or the resident) performs a predetermined operation on the intercom device 50, the intercom device 50 acquires the identification information of the control terminal 40 installed in the same exclusive unit 81 (FIG. 2). (1)). Next, the intercom device 50 transfers the first identification information of the exclusive unit 81 set in the intercom device 50 and the first information in which the second identification information of the control terminal 40 is associated with each other in the apartment house 80. It is transmitted to the management device 60 ((2) in FIG. 2). The management device 60 further assigns (associates) the received first information with the identification information (hereinafter, also referred to as the third identification information) of the apartment house 80 preset in the management device 60. It is transmitted to the server device 20 ((3) in FIG. 2). The server device 20 uses the first information in which the first identification information of the exclusive unit 81, the second identification information of the control terminal 40, and the third identification information of the apartment house 80 are linked to each other as registration information. Remember. As a result, in the server device 20, the data uploaded from the control terminal 40 to the server device 20 ((4) in FIG. 2; data to which the second identification information of the control terminal 40 is added) is which of the apartment houses 80. It can be determined whether the data is acquired by the exclusive unit 81.

As described above, in the information processing system 10, the resident does not need to issue the data providing code. Further, in the information processing system 10, the data uploaded from the control terminal 40 to the server device 20 is grouped by the registration information with the third identification information of the housing complex 80 and the first identification information of the exclusive unit 81. .. That is, the information processing system 10 can easily distinguish which data was acquired (measured) in which proprietary unit. Therefore, the second business operator can receive data provision from the first business operator by designating the apartment house 80 or the exclusive section 81 (room number), and manages the data provision code. However, there is no need to manually enter the data provision code when requesting data.

[First information transmission operation]
Next, the operation of transmitting the first information of the information processing system 10 will be described. FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the transmission operation of the first information. Note that FIG. 4 shows an operation for a set of control terminals 40 and an intercom device 50 installed in one exclusive portion 81 in a certain apartment house 80 for the sake of simplification of the explanation. However, in reality, the plurality of sets of the control terminal 40 and the intercom device 50 included in each of the plurality of apartment houses 80 perform the following operations.

The input receiving unit 51 of the intercom device 50 receives a predetermined operation (S11). This predetermined operation is performed by the installer (constructor) when the control terminal 40 and the intercom device 50 are installed in the exclusive portion 81, but may be performed by the resident.

The first control unit 53 acquires the second identification information of the control terminal 40 from the control terminal 40 when the predetermined operation is received (S12). Specifically, the first control unit 53 transmits a request for the second identification information to the control terminal 40 installed in the same exclusive unit 81 via the local communication network. The first control unit 53 acquires the second identification information of the control terminal 40 from the control terminal 40 via the local communication network as a response to this request. The second identification information is, for example, the MAC address of the control terminal 40, but is not particularly limited as long as it is information that can distinguish the control terminal 40 from other control terminals 40.

Next, the first control unit 53 reads the first identification information of the exclusive unit 81 stored in the storage unit 54, and associates the second identification information acquired in step S12 with the read first identification information. The first information is generated by (S13). The first identification information is, for example, the number (room number) of the exclusive unit 81, and is initially set for constructing the intercom system in the apartment house 80. The first identification information is not particularly limited as long as it is information that can distinguish the exclusive portion 81 from the other exclusive portion 81.

Next, the first control unit 53 causes the first communication unit 55 to transmit the generated first information to the server device 20 via the management device 60. Specifically, the first communication unit 55 transmits the generated first information to the management device 60 (S14). The management device 60 assigns the third identification information of the apartment house 80 to the received first information (S15), and then transmits the first information to which the third identification information is attached to the server device 20 (S16). The third identification information may be any information that can distinguish the apartment house 80 from other apartment houses 80.

Next, the receiving unit 21a of the server device 20 receives the first information, and the information processing unit 22 stores the received first information in the storage unit 23 (S17). The server device 20 receives the first information from each of the plurality of apartment houses 80, and integrates the plurality of first information, so that the storage unit 23 stores the registration information as shown in FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of registration information. In the example of FIG. 5, the registration information includes consent information indicating whether or not there is consent to provide data to the second business operator. This consent information is initially set to "None", but is changed to "Yes" when the resident agrees to provide the power consumption data from the server device 20 to the information terminal 30. The method of obtaining consent from the resident will be described later.

[Action to obtain consent for data movement]
From the viewpoint of protecting personal information, it is necessary to obtain the consent of the resident as to whether or not to upload the power consumption data managed by the control terminal 40 to the server device 20. Similarly, it is necessary to obtain consent from the resident to provide the power consumption data from the server device 20 (first business operator) to the information terminal 30 (second business operator). Hereinafter, an operation example for obtaining consent for data movement of the information processing system 10 will be described. FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram of an operation example of the information processing system 10 for obtaining consent for data movement. Although FIG. 6 shows the operation performed by the control terminal 40 installed in one exclusive unit 81 for the sake of simplification of the explanation, it is actually installed in each of the plurality of exclusive units 81. The control terminal 40 performs the same operation. The operation of FIG. 6 is performed, for example, when the resident moves into the exclusive section 81.

The second control unit 43 of the control terminal 40 causes the display unit 42 to display the first display screen as shown in FIG. 7 (S21). FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a first display screen for obtaining consent from a resident to upload (transmit) power consumption data to the server device 20.

When such a first display screen is displayed, the input receiving unit 41 accepts an input indicating that the resident of the exclusive unit 81 agrees to transmit the power consumption data to the server device 20 (S22). ). Uploading the power consumption data from the control terminal 40 to the server device 20 is performed on the condition that such an input is accepted. If the input indicating consent is not accepted, the power consumption data is not uploaded from the control terminal 40 to the server device 20.

Next, the second control unit 43 causes the display unit 42 to display the second display screen as shown in FIG. 8 (S23). FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a second display screen for obtaining consent from the resident to provide the power consumption data from the server device 20 (first business operator) to the information terminal 30 (second business operator). be.

When such a second display screen is displayed, the resident of the exclusive unit 81 agrees that the input reception unit 41 provides the uploaded power consumption data from the server device 20 to the information terminal 30. (S24).

When such an input is received, the second control unit 43 sends a consent notice to the second communication unit 45 indicating that the resident has agreed to provide the power consumption data to the second business operator. It is transmitted to 20 (S25). The consent notification includes the second identification information of the control terminal 40.

The receiving unit 21a of the server device 20 receives the consent notification, and the information processing unit 22 changes the consent information associated with the second identification information included in the received consent notification from "none" to "yes" in the registration information. By changing to "", the registration information is updated (S26). If the input indicating consent is not accepted, the consent notification is not sent and the consent information in the registration information remains "None".

As described above, in the information processing system 10, the consent regarding the movement of data is obtained by the input of the resident to the input reception unit 41 of the control terminal 40. Instead of the control terminal 40, consent for data movement may be obtained by inputting a resident to the input receiving unit 51 of the intercom device 50.

Further, the consent regarding the movement of data may be obtained in writing or the like without using the information processing system 10. For example, the resident may agree to the transfer of data by signing a predetermined document at the time of the lease contract of the exclusive section 81.

[Data provision operation]
Next, the operation of providing the power consumption data in the information processing system 10 will be described. FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram of the power consumption data providing operation. The operation of providing the power consumption data in FIG. 9 is performed after the registration information is stored in the storage unit 23 of the server device 20.

Each of the plurality of control terminals 40 transmits the power consumption data to the server device 20 by using the second communication unit 45, and the receiving unit 21a of the server device 20 receives this (S31). The power consumption data is associated with the second identification information of the control terminal 40 that manages the power consumption data (that is, the control terminal 40 that is the source of the power consumption data). The information processing unit 22 stores (stores) the power consumption data received by the receiving unit 21a in the storage unit 23 (S32). The transmission of the power consumption data and the storage of the power consumption data are performed periodically, for example. The control terminal 40 of the resident's house that does not consent to the transmission (upload) of the power consumption data does not transmit the power consumption data.

After the power consumption data is accumulated, the second business operator performs a predetermined operation for receiving the provision of the power consumption data from the first business operator to the information terminal 30, and the information terminal 30 performs such a predetermined operation. Accept the operation (S33). The predetermined operation includes a user account input operation.

The user account is issued by the first business operator when the first business operator and the second business operator conclude a contract regarding the provision of power consumption data. The user account is associated with the third identification information (or the first identification information of the exclusive unit 81) of the housing complex 80 to be provided to the second business operator based on the contract, and the server device 20 is used as management information. It is stored in advance in the storage unit 23. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of management information.

When the above-mentioned predetermined operation is accepted, the second information (including the user account information) is transmitted from the information terminal 30 to the server device 20 as an opportunity. The second information is request information for the information terminal 30 to request power consumption data from the server device 20.

The receiving unit 21a of the server device 20 receives the second information from the information terminal 30 (S34). The information processing unit 22 provides the information terminal 30 according to the second information based on the received second information and the registration information (FIG. 5) and management information (FIG. 10) stored in the storage unit 23. The power consumption data to be specified is specified (S35).

Specifically, the information processing unit 22 identifies the third identification information associated with the user account included in the received second information by referring to the management information (FIG. 10). Next, the information processing unit 22 obtains the consent to provide the data to the second business operator, which is the second identification information associated with the specified third identification information in the registration information (FIG. 5). The second identification information is extracted. Then, the information processing unit 22 specifies the power consumption data associated with the extracted second identification information among the stored power consumption data as the power consumption data to be provided to the information terminal 30.

Next, the information processing unit 22 causes the transmission unit 21b to transmit the specified power consumption data to the information terminal 30 (S36). As a result, the second business operator can receive the power consumption data based on the contract.

It is not essential that the management information is associated with the third identification information of the housing complex 80 (or the second identification information of the exclusive unit 81) to be provided to the second business operator. For example, the second business operator may perform an operation of designating a desired third identification information (or first identification information) in step S33. In this case, the second information includes the desired third identification information (or first identification information), and the server device 20 is based on the third identification information (or first identification information) specified in the second information. And provide power consumption data.
