[Overall configuration of the condition monitoring system]
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of a status monitoring system 1 according to this embodiment.
The status monitoring system 1 according to this embodiment is a system in which sensors that detect information that affects the status of a facility are arranged in the facility, and information about the status of the facility is output according to the location where the sensor is arranged, thereby presenting the status of the facility to a user. Examples of the facility include homes, stores, factories, laboratories, offices, welfare facilities, fitness centers, schools, and other facilities. However, the facility according to this embodiment may be different from the above-mentioned facilities.

The status monitoring system 1 of this embodiment has a server 10 that controls the entire system, sensors 22 used in a management facility 20, which is a facility where a user manages, for example, the environment, and a user terminal 30, which is a terminal device used by the user. The sensors 22 exemplified in this embodiment are arranged in multiple locations in the facility and detect, for example, information that affects the status of the environment.

The server 10 in this embodiment processes information that affects the state of the facility, and outputs information about the state of the facility. The server 10 outputs information about the state of the facility according to the locations where the sensors 22 are arranged.
In the status monitoring system 1 shown in FIG. 1, the server 10 is configured as one server, but may be configured as a plurality of servers.

In the present embodiment, the management facility 20 is provided with a connection device 21 that transmits and receives information to and from a plurality of sensors 22 and is connected to the server 10 via a network 40. The connection device 21 may be, for example, a device that realizes wireless communication such as a Wi-Fi (registered trademark) connection or a Bluetooth (registered trademark) connection. Alternatively, the connection device 21 may be, for example, a device that uses a Subscriber Identity Module Card (SIM card) for data communication. In such a case, the connection device 21 is connected to the network 40 via a predetermined base station. Note that, if the sensor 22 itself is connected to the server 10 via the network 40, a separate connection device 21 may not be provided.
The management facility 20 is also provided with ventilation equipment 23, such as a ventilation fan and a total heat exchanger for ventilating the room, as an example of equipment within the management facility 20. The ventilation equipment 23 is connected to the sensor 22 via a bus, a signal line, or wirelessly.

The sensor 22 in this embodiment detects information that affects the state of the location where the sensor 22 is placed. Specifically, the sensor 22 detects information that affects the state of air quality at the location where the sensor 22 is placed, for example.
The sensor 22 detects at least one of temperature, humidity, _CO2 concentration, odor, gas leakage, volatile organic compounds, air pressure, fine particles, light, and sound. With respect to volatile organic compounds, the sensor 22 detects, for example, the concentration or presence of volatile organic compounds. Furthermore, the sensor 22 detects, as fine particles, for example, PM1.0, PM2.5, PM4.0, PM10, dust, dirt, and dust particles. Furthermore, the sensor 22 detects, as light, for example, UV, infrared, and visible light.

In addition, the sensor 22 may detect at least one of gas, illuminance, position, specimen, distance, magnetism, current, power, voltage, flow rate, weight, vibration, rotation, angle, acceleration, shape, distortion, water quality, taste, and color. The sensor 22 may detect the presence or absence, number, or density of a person or object as the specimen. The sensor 22 may also detect the opening or closing of an object such as a door or window based on the distance and magnetism of the object. The sensor 22 may also detect the flow rate of gas or water, for example.
The sensor 22 may be any sensor that detects information that affects the state of the facility, such as the environmental state of the location where the sensor 22 is installed, and the object that the sensor detects may be different from that described above.

The sensor 22 also has a communication function for communicating with the connection device 21 and the ventilation equipment 23. For example, the sensor 22 transmits the detection result to the server 10 via the connection device 21. Alternatively, the sensor 22 may connect to the server 10 via the network 40, not via the connection device 21. For example, the sensor 22 transmits a signal to the ventilation equipment 23 to control the ventilation equipment 23 in accordance with the detection result. The ventilation equipment 23 is operated or has its operation settings changed in accordance with the signal. The sensor 22 also has a processor and a memory.

The user terminal 30 in this embodiment is an information terminal device used by a user to check information related to the status of the facility. The user terminal 30 accepts operations from the user to input information related to the management facility 20 and information related to the sensor 22, and presents information related to the status of the management facility 20.
The user terminal 30 is provided with a display unit formed of a liquid crystal display panel, an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display panel, or the like, which displays images, text information, etc. to the user. Examples of the user terminal 30 include a computer device, a tablet information terminal, a smartphone, and other information processing devices.

[Server configuration]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the hardware configuration of the server 10. As shown in FIG.
The server 10 is composed of a computer device such as a desktop PC or a notebook PC. The server 10 has a control unit 11, which is a central processing unit (CPU) that controls the entire device, a memory 12, such as a random access memory (RAM) that is used as a working area during calculations, and a storage unit 13, which is a storage device such as a hard disk drive (HDD) or a semiconductor memory that is used to store programs and various setting data. The server 10 also has a communication unit 14 that transmits and receives data via a network 40. The server 10 also has an operation unit 15, such as a keyboard, a pointing device, or a touch panel, that accepts input operations from a user on the server 10 side, a display unit 16, such as a liquid crystal display that displays images and text information to the user, and a display control unit 17 that controls the display unit 16.
The server 10 may be configured as an on-premise server, or as a so-called cloud server.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the server 10. As shown in FIG.
The server 10 has a floor map acquisition unit 111 that acquires floor map information related to a floor map of the management facility 20, and a position information identification unit 112 that identifies position information related to the position of the sensor 22 in the management facility 20. The server 10 also has a detection result acquisition unit 113 that acquires a detection result detected by the sensor 22, and an analysis unit 114 that analyzes the acquired detection result. The server 10 also has a status information output unit 115 that outputs status information indicating the status of the management facility 20 generated by the analysis unit 114 to the user terminal 30. The server 10 may also have a conversion unit 116 that converts the status information generated by the analysis unit 114 according to the content of the status information.
The server 10 also has a facility information storage unit 117 that stores various information related to the managed facility 20, such as identification information and a floor map of the managed facility 20, and a status information storage unit 118 that stores status information generated by the analysis unit 114. The server 10 also has a history information storage unit 119 that stores changes in temperature and humidity and changes in _CO2 concentration in the managed facility 20 as history information, and a history information output unit 120 that outputs the stored history information to a user terminal 30 used by a user, etc.

The floor map acquisition unit 111 acquires information about a floor map showing sections within the management facility 20. In other words, the floor map acquisition unit 111 acquires information about the layout showing the rooms within the management facility 20. Specifically, the floor map acquisition unit 111 acquires at least identification information for identifying the management facility 20 and information showing walls provided within the management facility 20.
The position information identifying unit 112 identifies position information of the sensors 22 arranged in the management facility 20. Specifically, the position information identifying unit 112 identifies information indicating locations where the multiple sensors 22 are arranged in correspondence with sections of the floor map acquired by the floor map acquiring unit 111. The position information identifying unit 112 may identify the position information based on signals from the sensors 22, or may identify the position information based on input information input by a user via the user terminal 30. The position information of the sensors 22 includes various information such as identification information of the sensors 22 arranged at each location in the management facility 20 and the detection capabilities of the sensors 22.
The detection result acquisition unit 113 acquires the detection results detected by the sensor 22 via the network 40 .

The analysis unit 114 analyzes the floor map information acquired by the floor map acquisition unit 111 and the position information of the sensor 22 identified by the position information identification unit 112. The analysis unit 114 stores the facility information generated by reflecting the position information of the sensor 22 in the floor map information in the facility information storage unit 117.
Furthermore, the analysis unit 114 analyzes the detection results acquired by the detection result acquisition unit 113. Specifically, the analysis unit 114 analyzes the detection results acquired by the detection result acquisition unit 113 by using the facility information stored in the facility information storage unit 117. The analysis unit 114 grasps the state of the managed facility 20 according to the detection results of the multiple sensors 22, and stores the generated state information in the state information storage unit 118 and the history information storage unit 119.

The status information output unit 115 outputs the status information acquired from the analysis unit 114 or conversion unit 116, which reflects the position information of the sensor 22 identified by the position information identification unit 112, and transmits it to the management facility 20 or the user terminal 30. The user terminal 30 performs a notification process related to the status information. As this notification process, for example, notification of the contents of the status information is performed by display or email. As other notification processes, for example, a warning based on the status information using at least one of display, sound, light, and vibration may be performed. This warning is performed according to the degree of danger based on the detection results of the multiple sensors 22, for example. The degree of danger is, for example, the degree of necessity for ventilation.

The conversion unit 116 converts the status information generated by the analysis unit 114 into information for encouraging ventilation of the management facility 20 and information for controlling the ventilation equipment 23 .
The history information output unit 120 outputs the history information itself stored in the history information storage unit 119 and information calculated from the history information, and transmits it to the user terminal 30 or the like.

[Example of obtaining floor map information]
Next, an example of acquiring floor map information will be described.
Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of a display on a user terminal 30 to which this embodiment is applied, where (A) shows the display when accepting registration of floor map information, and (B) shows the display after accepting registration of floor map information.
An operation screen 300 for accepting operations from the user is displayed on the user terminal 30.
In this processing example, the operation screen 300 includes a registration screen display button 301 that receives an instruction from the user to display a registration screen 303 that accepts registration of floor map information. The operation screen 300 also includes an area setting button 302 that receives an instruction from the user to set an area that is a region according to the detection result of the sensor 22.

The display example shown in FIG. 4A shows a case where the registration screen display button 301 is selected by the user, and a registration screen 303 is displayed on the operation screen 300 .
The registration screen 303 includes a file selection field 304 that accepts the selection of a file to be registered as floor map information, and a registration button 305 that accepts an instruction from the user to register the data included in the selected file as floor map information. The file selection field 304 accepts the selection of a file that is accessible by the user using, for example, the user terminal 30 and has a file format that can be used for floor map information. Examples of file formats that can be used for floor map information include SVG, JPEG, and PNG. The selected file is transmitted to the server 10 when the registration button 305 is selected by the user.

In this embodiment, when the user selects a file in the file selection field 304 and then selects the register button 305, a preview image 306 showing a preview of the floor map is displayed, as shown in Fig. 4B. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the user registers a file for the management facility 20, a preview image 306 corresponding to the registered file is displayed as information showing the floor map of the management facility 20.
Preview image 306 shows at least the sections of management facility 20. Preview image 306 may also display a text message indicating the name of each section, such as "private room,""toilet,""kitchen,""entrance," etc. Preview image 306 may also show not only walls provided within management facility 20, but also windows, doors, etc.

[Examples of identifying location information]
Next, an example of specifying location information will be described.
5A and 5B are diagrams for explaining the process of identifying the position information of the sensor 22 to which this embodiment is applied, in which (A) is a diagram showing the location where multiple sensors 22 are arranged, and (B) is a diagram showing a preview image 306 reflecting the position information of the sensor 22.
In this processing example, as shown in Fig. 5(A), sensors 22 are placed at multiple locations in the management facility 20. Specifically, in this processing example, one sensor 22 is installed in one section, and four sensors 22 are installed in other sections.
The location where the sensor 22 is placed is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 5A, and the location may be one where no sensor 22 is placed, and it is sufficient that at least one sensor 22 is placed.

In this embodiment, when a user installs multiple sensors 22 in a management facility 20 as shown in FIG. 5(A), a preview image 306 reflecting the position information of each of the multiple sensors 22 is displayed as shown in FIG. 5(B). Specifically, when multiple sensors 22 are installed in the management facility 20 and the area setting button 302 (see FIG. 4(B)) is selected by the user, a preview image 306 reflecting the position information of each of the multiple sensors 22 is displayed. In addition, a setting end button 309 that accepts an instruction from the user to end the area setting is displayed on the operation screen 300.

In the display example shown in FIG. 5B, a sensor image 307 indicating the positions corresponding to the locations where each of the multiple sensors 22 is disposed is displayed in the preview image 306 .
The sensor image 307 may include not only a pictorial symbol but also a text message that identifies each of the sensors 22, such as the model name or name of the sensor 22. The sensor image 307 may also be an image that reflects the appearance and detection capabilities of the sensor 22.

For example, when the server 10 identifies the location information of each of the multiple sensors 22 based on signals from each sensor 22, the sensor image 307 is displayed on the preview image 306 at a position corresponding to where each of the multiple sensors 22 is located.
In addition, for example, when the server 10 identifies the position information of each of the multiple sensors 22 based on input information indicating the position of each of the multiple sensors 22, such as the coordinates of each of the multiple sensors 22 input by the user, the sensor image 307 is displayed on the preview image 306 at a position corresponding to where each of the multiple sensors 22 is placed.
In addition, for example, when the user moves while keeping one sensor image 307 selected and then deselects the one sensor image 307, the server 10 identifies the location information of the sensor 22. In this case, the one sensor image 307 is displayed at the location where the user's selection was deselected. Furthermore, the sensor 22 is identified as being located in a location within the management facility 20 corresponding to the location where the selection of the one sensor image 307 was deselected.

[Example of setting areas according to detection results of sensor 22]
Next, an example of setting an area according to the detection result of the sensor 22 will be described.
6A and 6B are diagrams for explaining the process of setting an area to which this embodiment is applied, in which (A) is a diagram showing a preview image 306 when accepting area setting, and (B) is a diagram showing a preview image 306 when multiple areas are specified within a section.
In this processing example, an area designation image 308 for accepting area designation is displayed on the preview image 306 .

The display example shown in Figure 6 (A) shows the case where the area setting button 302 (see Figure 4 (B)) is selected by the user, and an area designation image 308 and a setting end button 309 that accepts instructions from the user regarding ending the area setting are displayed.
When the position information of the sensor 22 is specified, at least one area designation image 308 is displayed on the preview image 306. The area designation image 308 is displayed on the preview image 306 in correspondence with, for example, a section of the management facility 20. The area designation image 308 is also displayed on the preview image 306 in correspondence with, for example, a section of the management facility 20 in which the sensor 22 is located.
In this display example, "Area 1" is displayed as the area designation image 308 within the "private room" section in which one sensor 22 is arranged.

The display position or display area of the area designation image 308 may be changed based on a user operation. Examples of the user operation include an operation in which the user moves a part of the area designation image 308 while keeping the part selected, and then deselects the part, and an operation in which the user inputs information indicating the coordinates of the area designation image 308.
In the example shown in Figure 6 (A), the area designation image 308 is displayed in an area smaller than one section, but when a user performs an operation on one area designation image 308 to cover the entirety of one section, it may be displayed in an area equivalent to one section, as shown in Figure 6 (B).

In this embodiment, when the user selects the setting end button 309, the area covered by one area designation image 308 is set as an area that corresponds to the detection result of the sensor 22 placed within this area.
Furthermore, when the user selects the setting end button 309 in a state where a plurality of area designation images 308 are displayed for one section, a plurality of areas may be set for one section.

In the display example shown in FIG. 6(B), multiple area designation images 308 are displayed for other sections different from the "private room" section and in which multiple sensors 22 are arranged. In this display example, "Area 1" is displayed as the area designation image 308 for the "private room" section, and "Area 2-1," "Area 2-2," "Area 2-3," and "Area 2-4" are displayed for the other sections. Each of the areas covered by the area designation images 308 is set as an area that corresponds to the detection capability of the sensors 22 arranged within the respective area.

For example, the area designation images 308 are added or deleted based on a user operation. Alternatively, for example, the number of area designation images 308 may be determined based on various information such as information indicating the location where the sensor 22 is placed, identification information, and the detection capability of the sensor 22, which is included in the position information of each sensor 22.
The shape of the area designation image 308 is not limited to a rectangle, and may be any shape designated by the user. The area designation image 308 may be, for example, transparently processed and displayed so that the preview image 306 can be visually recognized by the user.

[Example of status information notification]
Next, a display example based on the state information will be described.
Figure 7 is a diagram for explaining the notification process regarding the status information of the management facility 20 to which this embodiment is applied, where (A) is a diagram showing an example of an operation screen 300 for notifying regarding the status information of the management facility 20, and (B) is a diagram showing a real-time image 312.
In this processing example, five sensors 22 are placed in the management facility 20 as shown in Fig. 5(A), and five areas, "Area 1", "Area 2-1", "Area 2-2", "Area 2-3", and "Area 2-4", are set as shown in Fig. 6(B). In addition, the example shows a case in which the _CO2 concentration, temperature, and humidity are obtained as the detection results of the sensors 22 placed in each area.

In the display example shown in FIG. 7A, an operation screen 300 is displayed that notifies the contents of status information in the management facility 20 and issues a warning regarding ventilation.
The operation screen 300 displays a first floor map 311 reflecting the status information for each area, and a real-time image 312 showing the real-time detection result of the sensor 22. The operation screen 300 also displays an explanation field 313 explaining the relationship between the display mode of the first floor map 311 and the need for ventilation, and an area hide button 314 for receiving an instruction from the user to hide the area of the first floor map 311. The operation screen 300 may also display a map display button 315 for receiving an instruction from the user to display the first floor map 311, a first list display button 316 for receiving an instruction from the user to display a list of status information for each area, and a second list display button 317 for receiving an instruction from the user to display a list of a display mode different from the first list display button 316. The operation screen 300 may also display a mute button 318 for receiving an instruction from the user to mute the sound accompanying the notification of status information, and an instruction button 319 for receiving various instructions from the user to display the operation screen 300. It should be noted that, based on the user's operation on the mute button 318, a sound may be output in conjunction with the notification of the status information, and the volume of the output sound may be adjusted.

The first floor map 311 is displayed based on status information for each area set in correspondence with the floor map of the management facility 20. The first floor map 311 includes a mixture of displays based on status information for each section of the management facility 20 and displays based on status information for each area according to the detection capabilities of the multiple sensors 22 arranged in the sections.
In addition, when the status information of an area matches the status information of another area adjacent to the area, the first floor map 311 is displayed continuously. In other words, when the same color is used in multiple consecutive areas set in the same section, the first floor map 311 is displayed continuously in the same color.

The first floor map 311 is color-coded according to the status information for each area. For example, the first floor map 311 is color-coded according to the air quality for each area. Specifically, for example, an area requiring ventilation is displayed in red, an area requiring moderate ventilation and requiring attention is displayed in yellow, and an area requiring low ventilation is displayed in blue.
When the areas are color-coded according to the air quality, the aim is to enable the user to recognize at a glance whether or not ventilation is necessary in each area.

Note that the display based on the status information for each area is not limited to color coding such as red, yellow, and blue. For example, areas that require ventilation may not be displayed in red, but may instead display a text message such as "Ventilation is currently in progress." It is sufficient that areas that require ventilation are displayed in such a way that they can be distinguished from areas where ventilation is less necessary.

Additionally, on the first floor map 311, a real-time image 312 is displayed on the corresponding area.
The real-time image 312 is displayed reflecting the current detection result among the detection results from the multiple sensors 22. The "current detection result" is the latest detection result among the detection results that can be output. In this specification, "current" refers to the latest one among the detection results that can be output.

The real-time image 312 may be displayed in a color that matches the color assigned to the corresponding area. For example, the real-time image 312 is displayed in a color similar to that of the corresponding area and darker than the color assigned to the corresponding area.
Also, the real-time image 312 is displayed in association with the corresponding area. For example, the real-time image 312 is displayed within the corresponding area. Also, for example, the real-time image 312 is displayed at a position corresponding to the location where the sensor 22 is disposed.

As shown in FIG. 7B, the real-time image 312 includes a CO2 concentration display area 3121 showing the current value of the _CO2 concentration, a _temperature display area 3122 showing the current value of the temperature, and a humidity display area 3123 showing the current value of the humidity as display areas of the real-time detection results of the sensor 22. In this display example, the _CO2 concentration is mainly displayed, but the arrangement and display area of the _CO2 concentration display area 3121, the temperature display area 3122, and the humidity display area 3123 can be changed. The unit of the displayed numerical value can also be changed. The number of displayed items is not limited to three, and can be changed to one, two, four or more.
The real-time image 312 may also be provided with a gauge display area 3124 in which the length of a bar changes depending on the need for ventilation. In the gauge display area 3124, the length of the bar increases as the need for ventilation increases, for example, so that the bar completes a full circle when ventilation is required.

In the above example, the operation screen 300 displays the current status information according to the current detection result among the detection results from the multiple sensors 22, but this is not limited to this. For example, the history of status information may be displayed for an area where the display is based on the current status information.

Figure 8 shows an example of the display of area history information on an operation screen 300 to which this embodiment is applied, where (A) shows a case in which only the history information of one area selected on the first floor map 311 is displayed, and (B) shows a case in which the area in which history information is displayed is switched.
In this processing example, the case where history information for "area 2-1" (see FIG. 6B) is displayed on the operation screen 300 is taken as an example.

In this embodiment, when a user selects an area on the first floor map 311 (see FIG. 7(A)), history information for the selected area is displayed as shown in FIG. 8(A). Specifically, for example, when a real-time image 312 of "area 2-1" (see FIG. 6(B)) on the first floor map 311 is selected by the user, history information for "area 2-1" is displayed on the operation screen 300 as shown in FIG. 8(A).

In the display example shown in FIG. 8(A), the operation screen 300 displays an area name column 321 showing the name of the area, and a notification image 322 notifying the current state of the area. The operation screen 300 also displays a real-time column 323 showing the real-time detection results of the sensors 22 arranged in the area, and a history column 324 showing the history information of the area. The operation screen 300 may also display an end display button 325 that accepts an instruction from the user to end the display of the history information. When the end display button 325 is selected by the user, the display shown in FIG. 8(A) is released, and the display of the operation screen 300 becomes the state shown in FIG. 7(A). Note that a button may also be displayed that accepts an instruction from the user to change the order of items displayed as history information, or the items themselves or the number of items displayed as history information.

The notification image 322 notifies the user of the condition of the area. For example, the current air quality condition of the area and whether the current ventilation situation is appropriate or not are notified by the notification image 322. The notification by the notification image 322 is not limited to a text message, and may be made by a pictorial symbol or color.
The real-time field 323 displays the current _CO2 concentration, current temperature, current humidity, and the like as real-time detection results of the sensors 22 arranged in the area.

The history column 324 displays historical information, which is the detection results obtained up to the present from the sensors 22 arranged in the area, at predetermined intervals, for example, every hour. In the history column 324, the historical information is displayed, for example, as a bar graph with time on the horizontal axis and detected numerical values on the vertical axis. The display mode is different between the bar graph showing the numerical values for the current time period and the bar graphs for other time periods.

Furthermore, a reference value set for each item may be displayed in the history column 324. In other words, an upper limit value and a lower limit value set for each item may be displayed in the history column 324.
The reference value may be, for example, a value set from the viewpoint of preventing the spread of infectious diseases, a value set from the viewpoint of the risk of heat stroke, or a value set from the viewpoint of preventing mold growth. Furthermore, the reference value may be displayed in the history field 324 so as to indicate an optimal numerical range for each item. The reference value for each item in the history field 324 may be set or changed by the user.
In the display example shown in FIG. 8A, the bar graphs of the time periods in which the upper limit value is exceeded for each item are displayed in a highlighted manner compared to the bar graphs of the other time periods in which the upper limit value is not exceeded.
The values displayed for each item in the history column 324 are not limited to the reference values, and may be the highest or lowest values in the history. In this case, the bar graph of the time period with the highest value or the bar graph of the time period with the lowest value in the history for each item are displayed so as to be emphasized compared to the bar graphs of the other time periods.

In addition, in this embodiment, while history information for one area is being displayed, display of history information for another area may be accepted.
In the display example shown in FIG. 8(B), the history information of “Area 2-1” (see FIG. 6(B)) is displayed on the operation screen 300, but it is possible to change the area for which the history information is displayed based on the user's operation.
In addition, when the user selects the map display button 315 instead of the display end button 325 (see FIG. 8(A)), the display shown in FIG. 8(B) may be cancelled and the display of the operation screen 300 may become the state shown in FIG. 7(A).

In the above example, the area history information is displayed on the operation screen 300 when the first floor map 311 is not displayed, but this is not limited to the above. For example, the area history information may be displayed on the operation screen 300 together with the first floor map 311.

9A and 9B are diagrams showing an example of a list display of status information for each area on an operation screen 300 to which this embodiment is applied, in which (A) shows a case in which the status information for each area is displayed in a detailed list, and (B) shows a case in which the status information for each area is displayed in a simplified list.
In this processing example, a case is taken as an example in which the _CO2 concentration, temperature, and humidity are acquired as the detection results of the sensors 22 arranged in each area.

In this embodiment, when the user selects the second list display button 317, a list of status information for each area is displayed, as shown in FIG. 9(A). Specifically, for example, when the second list display button 317 is selected by the user, the current status of "Area 1," "Area 2-1," "Area 2-2," "Area 2-3," and "Area 2-4" is notified, as shown in FIG. 9(A).

9(A), the operation screen 300 displays a section/area name column 331 indicating the names of sections and areas of the management facility 20, and a _CO2 concentration column 332 indicating the current value of the _CO2 concentration. The operation screen 300 also displays a temperature column 333 indicating the current value of the temperature, and a humidity column 334 indicating the current value of the humidity. The _CO2 concentration column 332, temperature column 333, and humidity column 334 are changed according to the sensor 22 arranged in each area. Specifically, they are changed so that the current value of the target detected by the sensor 22 arranged in each area is displayed.
Furthermore, the operation screen 300 displays a notification section 335 that notifies the user of the current status of the sections and areas of the management facility 20. Furthermore, when the map display button 315 is selected by the user, the display shown in Fig. 9(A) is cancelled, and the display of the operation screen 300 becomes the state shown in Fig. 7(A).

In the section/area name column 331, in addition to the set areas "Area 1," "Area 2-1," "Area 2-2," "Area 2-3," and "Area 2-4," the sections of the management facility 20, such as "Kitchen" and "Toilet," in which no sensor 22 is located, are displayed. The section/area name column 331 may display only the names of sections or areas in which sensors 22 are located, or may display only the names of sections or areas in which sensors 22 are located and in operation.

9A, the display example may display more detailed detection results than the detection results of the sensor 22 displayed in the real-time image 312 (see FIG. 7B). Specifically, for example, the numerical values displayed in the temperature column 333 and the humidity column 334 may display the detection results of the sensor 22 more accurately than the numerical values displayed in the temperature display area 3122 and the humidity display area 3123.
It should be noted that for the "kitchen" and "toilet" where the sensor 22 is not installed, the current _CO2 concentration value, the current temperature value, and the current humidity value are not displayed.

Furthermore, the "Good", "Caution", and "Warning" displayed in the notification field 335 may be displayed in a color that matches the color assigned to the corresponding area on the first floor map 311. Note that the notification field 335 only needs to notify the current state of the section or area of the management facility 20, and other words or pictorial symbols may be displayed as the displayed wording.
Furthermore, for the "kitchen" and "toilet" where the sensor 22 is not installed, "disconnected" is displayed in the notification field 335. The display in the notification field 335 is not limited to "disconnected", and may display "not installed" or the like when the sensor 22 is not installed, or may display "not connected" or the like when the sensor 22 is installed but the connection has been lost.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the user selects the first list display button 316, status information for each area may be displayed in a simple list as shown in Fig. 9(B). Specifically, for example, when the first list display button 316 is selected by the user, the current status of "Area 1", "Area 2-1", "Area 2-2", "Area 2-3", and "Area 2-4" for which the detection results of the sensor 22 have been obtained are notified as shown in Fig. 9(B).
In the display example shown in FIG. 9(B), the operation screen 300 displays a collective notification image 336 for each area, which shows the name of the area, a representative detection result of the sensor 22, and the current status.

In the above example, the state information of the area is displayed in a list on the operation screen 300 in a state where the first floor map 311 is not displayed, but this is not limited to the above. For example, the state information of the area may be displayed in a list on the operation screen 300 together with the first floor map 311.
Furthermore, when the status information of an area is displayed in a list, if the user selects the status information of an area, the history information of the selected area may be displayed.

[Another example of the operation screen 300 notifying the status information of the management facility 20]
The display based on the state information for each area on the floor map is not limited to the example shown in FIG.
FIG. 10 is a diagram showing another example of the operation screen 300 that notifies the user of the status information of the management facility 20 .
In the display example shown in Figure 10, the operation screen 300 displays a second floor map 341 reflecting the detection results of the sensor 22 for each area, instead of the first floor map 311 (see Figure 7 (A)).

The second floor map 341 is displayed based on the detection results of the sensors 22 arranged in each area for each area set in correspondence with the floor map of the management facility 20. For example, the second floor map 341 is displayed in different shades of color when there is a difference between the detection result of the sensor 22 arranged in one area and the detection result of the sensor 22 arranged in another area that coincides with the need for ventilation of the one area.
Specifically, for example, among areas where there is little need for ventilation, areas where there is an even lower need for ventilation are displayed in a light blue color, which is a lighter color than blue, while areas where ventilation is not yet necessary but may require caution are displayed in a navy blue color, which is a darker color than blue.
In addition, the display based on the detection results of the sensor 22 is not limited to color coding such as light and dark colors, but may be displayed in such a way that it can be identified that the need for ventilation is the same but there is a difference in the detection results of the sensor 22.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing another example of the operation screen 300 that notifies the user of the status information of the management facility 20. In FIG.
In the display example shown in Figure 11, instead of the first floor map 311 (see Figure 7 (A)), the operation screen 300 displays a third floor map 351 having margins 352 between areas set within a single section.
The margins 352 are provided between all areas set in one section, but are not limited to this. For example, the margins 352 may be provided between areas with different ventilation needs, or between areas with the same ventilation needs.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing another example of the operation screen 300 that notifies the user of the status information of the management facility 20. In FIG.
In the display example shown in Figure 12, the operation screen 300 displays a fourth floor map 361 that reflects status information for each area in a circular form, instead of the first floor map 311 (see Figure 7 (A)).
The fourth floor map 361 is displayed in a circular shape based on the status information for each area set in correspondence with the floor map of the management facility 20. For example, the fourth floor map 361 is displayed based on the status information in a circular region centered on a position corresponding to the location where the sensor 22 is placed. This circular region may reflect the size of the area, or may reflect the detection range of the sensor 22.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing another example of the operation screen 300 that notifies the user of the status information of the management facility 20. In FIG.
In this embodiment, when a user selects the area hide button 314 (see FIG. 7(A)), a fifth floor map 371 in which the color coding for each area is not displayed as shown in FIG. 13 is displayed instead of the first floor map 311 (see FIG. 7(A)). In addition, an area display button 374 is displayed on the operation screen 300 to receive an instruction from the user regarding the display of the color coding for each area.
In the fifth floor map 371, the display of the areas by color coding according to the status information is canceled, but the display of the real-time image 312 is maintained. For example, the real-time image 312 is displayed in a color that reflects the necessity of ventilation of the corresponding area and corresponds to the necessity of ventilation shown in the explanation field 313.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing another example of the operation screen 300 that notifies the user of the status information of the management facility 20. In FIG.
In the display example shown in Fig. 14, instead of the first floor map 311 (see Fig. 7(A)), the operation screen 300 displays a sixth floor map 381 that reflects the need for ventilation with a gradation based on the status information for each area. Also, instead of the explanation field 313 (see Fig. 7(A)), the operation screen 300 displays a gradation explanation field 383 that explains the relationship between the display mode of the sixth floor map 381 and the need for ventilation.
The sixth floor map 381 is displayed so that the colors of adjacent areas blend together. The sixth floor map 381 also displays the management facility 20 in three dimensions. This aims to more accurately reflect the current status information.
In addition, a real-time image 312 (see FIG. 7A) may be displayed on the sixth floor map 381.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing another example of the operation screen 300 that notifies the user of the status information of the management facility 20. In FIG.
15, a seventh floor map 391 is displayed on the operation screen 300, which reflects status information for each area on a floor map showing doors installed in the management facility 20. The seventh floor map 391 may also reflect windows, ventilation equipment, and electrical appliances installed in the management facility 20.
In addition, in the seventh floor map 391, an area beyond the division may be set, such as an area indicated by reference numeral 392. The seventh floor map 391 reflects the detection range of each sensor 22 more accurately than the first floor map 311.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing another example of the operation screen 300 that notifies the user of the status information of the management facility 20. In FIG.
In the display example shown in Figure 16, instead of the real-time image 312 (see Figure 7 (A)), the operation screen 300 displays a continuous real-time image 402 whose display area changes depending on the duration of time that the current need for ventilation in each area continues.
For example, the continuous real-time image 402 may be displayed such that the display area becomes larger as the time during which the current need for ventilation of the corresponding area continues for a longer period of time. Alternatively, the continuous real-time image 402 may be displayed such that the display area becomes larger as the time during which the current need for ventilation of the corresponding area continues for a shorter period of time.
Also, for example, the continuous real-time image 402 may be displayed such that the display area becomes smaller as the time during which the current need for ventilation of the corresponding area continues for a longer period of time.In addition, for example, the continuous real-time image 402 may be displayed such that the display area becomes smaller as the time during which the current need for ventilation of the corresponding area continues for a shorter period of time.

FIG. 17 is a diagram showing another example of the operation screen 300 that notifies the user of the status information of the management facility 20. In FIG.
17, in place of the real-time image 312 (see FIG. 7A), an emphasized real-time image 412 is displayed on the operation screen 300, the display area of which changes to emphasize the current need for ventilation in each area. The display area of the emphasized real-time image 412 corresponding to areas requiring ventilation or areas requiring attention is larger than the display area of the emphasized real-time image 412 corresponding to areas requiring little ventilation. This makes it easier for the user to recognize areas requiring ventilation.
Alternatively, for example, the display area of the highlighted real-time image 412 corresponding to an area where ventilation is less necessary may be made larger than the display area of the highlighted real-time image 412 corresponding to an area where ventilation is necessary or attention is required, thereby making it easier for the user to recognize areas where optimal ventilation conditions are maintained.
Alternatively, an enhanced real-time image 412 may be displayed, for example to highlight areas according to the duration of the need for ventilation selected by the user.

Figure 18 is a diagram for explaining the notification process regarding the status information of the management facility 20 to which this embodiment is applied, where (A) is a diagram showing another example of an operation screen 300 for notifying regarding the status information of the management facility 20, and (B) is a diagram showing a stacked real-time image 432.
In this processing example, a floor map of the management facility 20 is displayed in three dimensions.

In the display example shown in Figure 18 (A), the operation screen 300 displays an eighth floor map 421 which is a three-dimensional display of a floor map reflecting status information for each area, and a three-dimensional real-time image 422 which is a three-dimensional display of the real-time detection results of the sensor 22.
The eighth floor map 421 is displayed based on the status information for each area set in correspondence with the three-dimensionally displayed floor map. Specifically, the eighth floor map 421 is color-coded according to the status information for each area.

Also, a three-dimensional real-time image 422 is displayed on the corresponding area of the eighth floor map 421. The three-dimensional real-time image 422 changes in height according to the duration of the current need for ventilation in each area.
For example, the three-dimensional real-time image 422 may be displayed so that the longer the current ventilation need of the corresponding area continues, the higher the indication becomes. Alternatively, for example, the three-dimensional real-time image 422 may be displayed so that the shorter the current ventilation need of the corresponding area continues, the higher the indication becomes.
Also, for example, the three-dimensional real-time image 422 may be displayed so that the longer the current need for ventilation in the corresponding area has continued, the lower the indication becomes. Alternatively, for example, the three-dimensional real-time image 422 may be displayed so that the shorter the current need for ventilation in the corresponding area has continued, the lower the indication becomes.

In addition, instead of the three-dimensional real-time image 422, as shown in FIG. 18 (B), a piled-up real-time image 432 may be displayed, in which the height increases when a predetermined time has elapsed while maintaining a certain ventilation need, as shown in FIG.
In the display example shown in Figure 18 (B), the stacked real-time image 432 includes a first real-time image 4321, a second real-time image 4322, and a third real-time image 4323 that are displayed when a need for ventilation is maintained.
For example, if a predetermined time has elapsed while the first ventilation necessity is maintained when only the first real-time image 4321 is displayed, a second real-time image 4322 is displayed. Furthermore, if a predetermined time has elapsed while the first ventilation necessity is maintained even after the second real-time image 4322 is displayed, a third real-time image 4323 is displayed. On the top surface of the third real-time image 4323, the real-time detection result of the sensor 22 arranged in the corresponding area is displayed.

FIG. 19 is a diagram showing another example of the operation screen 300 that notifies the user of the status information of the management facility 20. In FIG.
In the display example shown in Figure 19, instead of the real-time image 312 (see Figure 7 (A)), an icon image 442 is displayed on the operation screen 300, which displays the current need for ventilation in each area using pictorial symbols rather than numerical values.
The icon image 442 indicates the current necessity of ventilation in each area by, for example, facial expression. As the icon image 442, a first icon image 4421 showing a smiling facial expression is displayed in an area where ventilation is unlikely to be necessary, and a second icon image 4422 showing a normal facial expression is displayed in an area where ventilation is not yet necessary but attention may be required. Also, as the icon image 442, a third icon image 4423 showing a sad facial expression is displayed in an area where ventilation is necessary.

Alternatively, for example, animals may be displayed as the icon images 442. In this case, for example, a sleeping animal may be displayed in an area where ventilation is unlikely to be required, an awake animal may be displayed in an area where ventilation is not yet required but attention may be required, and an angry animal may be displayed in an area where ventilation is required.
Alternatively, for example, a flower may be displayed as the icon image 442. In this case, for example, a bouquet of flowers may be displayed in an area where ventilation is unlikely to be necessary, a single flower may be displayed in an area where ventilation is not yet necessary but attention may be required, and a withered flower may be displayed in an area where ventilation is necessary.

Alternatively, for example, a bomb may be displayed as the icon image 442. In this case, for example, a bomb with a long fuse may be displayed in an area where ventilation is unlikely to be necessary, a bomb with a short fuse may be displayed in an area where ventilation is not yet necessary but caution may be required, and a scene of the bomb exploding may be displayed in an area where ventilation is necessary.
Alternatively, for example, a whirlpool may be displayed as the icon image 442. In this case, for example, the smaller the need for ventilation, the larger the whirlpool that is displayed.

The process flow of the status monitoring system 1 according to this embodiment is not limited to that shown in Figs. 20 and 21. For example, the processes shown in Figs. 20 and 21 may be executed in parallel.

[Modification 1]
1, the present embodiment has been described using the ventilation equipment 23 connected to the sensor 22 as an example of the management facility 20. However, the type of equipment that performs ventilation in the management facility 20 is not limited to the above, and it is possible to improve the air quality using, for example, electrical appliances.

FIG. 22 is a diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of a status monitoring system 2 according to this embodiment.
In the status monitoring system 2 according to this embodiment, a connection device 221 connected to the server 10 via the network 40, a plurality of sensors 222, and electrical appliances 223 such as air conditioners and circulators are provided in a management facility 220. The sensor 222 has a similar functional configuration to the sensor 22 shown in FIG.

The connection device 221 is connected to the server 10 via the network 40, and transmits and receives information to and from a plurality of sensors 222 and electrical appliances 223. As the connection device 221, for example, a device that realizes wireless communication is used.
The electrical appliance 223 includes a communication module for transmitting and receiving information to and from the connection device 221. The communication module may be provided inside the electrical appliance 223, or may be connected to the outside of the electrical appliance 223 by later installation. The electrical appliance 223 may also include a sensor 222.
This enables the electrical appliance 223 to exchange information with the connected device 221 without going through a plurality of sensors 222 .

[Modification 2]
1 and 22, the present embodiment has been described using notifications related to ventilation of the managed facilities 20 and 220. However, the types of content notified by the server 10 are not limited to those described above, and may be any content based on the detection results of various sensors.

FIG. 23 is a diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of a status monitoring system 3 according to this embodiment.
The status monitoring system 3 according to this embodiment is provided with various sensor devices 50, a display terminal 60 that displays the contents notified by the server 10, and various equipment 70 that is controlled according to the detection results of the sensor devices 50.
