In this method, A ₁ , A ₂ , A ₃ , and A ₄ defined for each vehicle type are regression parameters, and the above formulas (2) and (3) are applied to large vehicles and small vehicles. The total CO ₂ emission amount can be obtained by adding the CO ₂ emission amount obtained for each of the large vehicle and the small vehicle. Third, there is a method using the traffic volume and speed for each model. First, among the types of gasoline vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and EV vehicles, only gasoline vehicles are subject to the above-described equations (2) and (3). Then, the hybrid vehicle obtains the CO ₂ emission amount by multiplying a fixed value or a predetermined coefficient and the traffic volume. As for EV cars, CO ₂ emissions are calculated from the amount of power used during charging as described above, so when converting traffic volume to CO 2 emissions, it is excluded from being subject to double counting. Thus, the total CO ₂ emission amount can be obtained by obtaining the CO ₂ emission amount for each model and adding them up.

(About the interval between policy decisions)
The measure determining unit 25 determines measures at a predetermined interval. For example, the measure deciding unit 25 decides a measure based on the result of counting in the following units.

[Morning Afternoon]
The measure deciding unit 25 decides a measure related to afternoon traffic based on the CO ₂ emission amount collected in the morning of a certain day. That is, if there is a large amount of CO ₂ emissions collected in the morning of a certain day, a measure for regulating the afternoon traffic volume is determined so that the afternoon CO ₂ emissions are reduced.

[Daily]
The measure determining unit 25 determines a measure for the next day based on the CO ₂ emission amount collected on a certain day. For example, than the A City of citizens to move individually gasoline vehicles C1, so better to travel by public transport, including railways CO ₂ emissions can be suppressed, measures determining unit 25, one day If the total amount of CO ₂ emissions is large, measures for giving benefits such as points to users who use public transportation are determined so that the CO ₂ emissions on the next day are reduced. Here, the measure determination unit 25 may determine a measure that gives more points than the number of points given when the CO ₂ emission amount is small, that is, a so-called extra point.

  The measure determining unit 25 may notify the measures determined in this way to the management offices of the subsystems and the public transportation facilities via the communication network 50.

[Weekly / Monthly]
The measure deciding unit 25 decides a measure for the next week or the next month based on the CO ₂ emission amount tabulated on a weekly or monthly basis. For example, if the CO ₂ emission amount totaled weekly or monthly is large, the measure deciding unit 25 notifies via the communication network 50 to reduce the power consumption to each house in the next week or the next month. To do. In addition, the measure determination unit 25 may warn a house that has consumed more than a predetermined amount of power by e-mail or the like in the next week or the next month. Further, for example, the measure deciding unit 25 may make a notification that the power consumption is reduced in each office / store (for example, a convenience store) via the communication network 50. The measure deciding unit 25 may instruct each office / store to make a voice announcement.

[Yearly unit]
The measure deciding unit 25 calculates the number of installed photovoltaic power generation panels necessary to reduce the CO ₂ emission amount to a predetermined value or less based on the result of counting the CO ₂ emission amount in units of years. Therefore, for example, in a certain city, it is useful for predicting how much the number of newly installed solar panels should be increased in the next fiscal year. The above interval is an example until it gets tired, and is a measure of long-term or short-term measures. For example, the measure described as “AM / PM” can be determined “by day”.

(Specific example of range specification)
Next, a specific example of range designation in the range designation unit 21 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, an input unit 12 and a display unit 13 are connected to the emission management server 10 (FIG. 1 and the like). In the example shown in the figure, the input unit 12 is configured by a keyboard and a mouse, and the display unit 13 is configured by a display.

  The range designating unit 13 displays a map of A city on the display unit 13 by dividing into three districts of the first district R1, the second district R2, and the third district R3. Here, in the discharge amount management server 10, the user's range specification is accepted at the input unit 12. The user operates the cursor H1 with the keyboard and mouse to determine the designated range. In FIG. 4, the range is designated by pointing to the first district R1.

  The range designation unit 13 receives the range designation of the first district R1 and identifies the measuring instrument included in the range while referring to the measuring instrument information stored in the measuring instrument information storage unit 31. That is, the range specifying unit 13 refers to the measuring instrument information storage unit 31 and acquires the individual identifier for individually identifying each measuring instrument M1 to M3 and the position information indicating the installation position of the measuring instrument associated therewith. To do. Then, the range specifying unit 13 extracts the individual identifier of the measuring instrument in which “first district R1” is set in the position information. Thereby, the electric power consumption measuring device M1 installed in the station 110A, the houses B11 to B13, and the office / store building B23 is specified. Further, the vehicle measuring instrument M2 installed in the first district and the power production measuring instrument M3 installed in the houses B11 and B12 are specified. When the range specifying unit 13 transmits the individual identifiers of the measuring devices M1 to M3 specified in this way to the measurement value acquisition unit 22, the individual identifiers transmitted by the measurement value acquisition unit 22 are attached accordingly. Measurement values are acquired from the measuring instruments M1 to M3.

  The display unit 13 may display a map of city A, and the input unit 12 may accept a drag operation with a mouse or an input operation with a touch panel to select a desired range in the map. In this case, an office / store building, a house, a factory, or the like included in the rectangular range selected by the drag operation or the range within the closed curve drawn by the touch panel input operation is the measurement target.

(Specific examples of aggregation and measure determination)
With reference to FIG. 3 again, the tabulation and measure determination when the range of each district is designated will be described as follows.

In the first district R1, the hybrid vehicle C2 is running and there is some traffic. In addition, the EV car C3 is running, and there is a slight amount of power used by charging the battery of the EV car C3. Moreover, in 1st district R1, the photovoltaic power generation panel P1 is installed in house B11, B12, and electric power is produced by this. Moreover, since there are many houses in the 1st district R1, it can be said that there are few buildings which use a lot of electric power. There is also power consumption at station 110A. Therefore, when the range of the first district R1 is designated, the converted value obtained by converting the traffic volume into the CO ₂ emission amount is not so high, and there is a reduction effect by the converted value obtained by converting the electric power production amount into the CO ₂ emission amount. Further, it converted value obtained by converting the electric power consumption in the CO ₂ emissions is low compared with other areas. Therefore, the total CO ₂ emission conversion value in the first district R1 is relatively small compared to other districts. Here, when further reduction of the CO ₂ emission amount is required, in order to reduce the CO ₂ emission amount, it is conceivable to reduce the electric power consumption amount of the houses B11 to B13 and the office / store building B23. Therefore, the measure deciding unit 25 calculates the power consumption to be reduced in the houses B11 to B13 and the office / store building B23.

Further, in the long term, in order to reduce the CO ₂ emission amount, it is conceivable to increase the power production amount in the first district R1. In order to increase the amount of power production, for example, it is conceivable to install solar power generation panels in the house B13 and the office / store building B23. Therefore, when the reduction of the CO ₂ emission amount is required, the measure determining unit 25 calculates the amount of power production to be increased and the number of installed photovoltaic power generation panels to be installed.

In the second district R2, since the solar power generation panels P1 are installed in the school B21 and the office / store building B24, there is some power production. However, since much electric power is used in factories B31 and B32, the amount of electric power used is higher than in other areas. Therefore, when the second district R2 is designated as a range, although there is a reduction effect due to the conversion value obtained by converting the electric power production into the CO ₂ emission amount, the conversion value obtained by converting the electric power consumption into the CO ₂ emission amount becomes high, and CO 2 The total of ₂ emission equivalents is higher than other areas. In order to reduce the CO ₂ emission amount, it can be considered that the electric power production amount in the first district R2 is increased in the long term. Moreover, in order to increase electric power production, it is possible to install a photovoltaic power generation panel in factory B31 and factory B32. Therefore, when the reduction of the CO ₂ emission amount is required, the measure determining unit 25 calculates the amount of power production to be increased and the number of installed photovoltaic power generation panels to be installed.

In the third district R3, many gasoline cars C1 are running and there is a lot of traffic. Moreover, since there is factory B33, the amount of power used is slightly higher. Further, since the solar power generation panel is installed in the office / store building B22 and the office / store building B25, there is a slight amount of power production. There is also power consumption at station 110B. Therefore, when the range of the third district R3 is designated, the converted value obtained by converting the traffic volume into the CO ₂ emission amount is high, and the converted value obtained by converting the electric power consumption into the CO ₂ emission amount is also increased to some extent. Moreover, since electric power is produced, this has the effect of reducing the CO ₂ emission conversion value.
From the above, in the short term, by reducing the traffic, a reduction in CO ₂ emissions converted value is expected. Further, in the long term, a reduction in the CO ₂ emission conversion value can be expected by increasing the power production amount, that is, by installing a photovoltaic power generation panel. When the total of the CO ₂ emission amount conversion values is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the measure determining unit 25 calculates the traffic volume to be reduced using the measure information. In addition, the number of persons whose transportation means should be changed from the gasoline car C1 to public transportation is calculated. When further CO ₂ emission reduction is required, the measure determining unit 25 calculates the amount of power production to be increased and the number of installed photovoltaic power generation panels to be installed.

In the above description, the electric power consumption of the EV bus E1 is not calculated, but the calculation is as follows. In other words, the EV bus E1 operates from the first district R1 to the second district R2, but the power consumption may be calculated for vehicles running in the operation section in the designated district. More, measures determining unit 25, not only the CO ₂ emission amount conversion value converted from the measured values of the power consumption, based on the operation timetable EV bus E1, CO ₂ emissions in terms of the time zone to aggregate The value may be estimated. For example, it is possible to estimate the number of EV buses traveling in the operation section in the designated area from the operation time table of the EV bus E1 during the time zone to be counted. Therefore, the measure determining unit 25 may estimate the power usage from the number of EV buses estimated in this way and the average power usage of the EV bus, and convert the estimated value into the CO ₂ emission amount. .

Next, with reference to FIG. 6, a measure for reducing CO ₂ emissions by reducing traffic will be described more specifically. FIG. 6 is a graph illustrating the relationship between the traffic volume of a gasoline vehicle and CO ₂ emissions. That is, an example in which the measure information stored in the measure information storage unit 35 is information in which the relationship between the traffic volume of the entire gasoline vehicle and the CO ₂ emission amount indicates a linear relationship (linear graph of the grand total in FIG. 6). Will be described below.

Now, it is assumed that the CO ₂ emission amount totaled by the totaling unit 24 is Em1. Since the value Em1 exceeds the reference value Th for CO ₂ emissions, the measure determination unit 25 uses the measure information to reduce the CO ₂ emissions to a value Em2 below the reference value Th. Is calculated. That is, the measure determining unit 25 calculates the traffic reduction number as Tr1 by the linear relationship indicated by the measure information. Then, the measure determining unit 25 determines “Traffic reduction number Tr 1” as a measure according to the calculation result. Large vehicles are generally considered to have more CO ₂ emissions than small vehicles. Therefore, it is possible for the measure determination unit 25 to determine measures for selectively reducing large vehicles and small vehicles as traffic volume reduction targets. Of course, the measure deciding unit 25 may calculate how many reduction targets are required for each combination of large and small cars, such as “how many large cars are reduced and how many small cars are reduced”. .

By the way, if the traffic volume of the vehicle is limited as described above, the means of transportation for the person who has moved by the vehicle by the limited amount is lost. Therefore, it is desirable to prepare alternative means of transportation as much as the traffic volume of the vehicle is limited. For example, it is conceivable to provide an EV bus as an alternative means that emits less CO ₂ than gasoline cars. In this case, the measure determining unit 25 determines the number of EV buses to be increased using the measure information indicating the relationship between the traffic volume reduction number and the number of EV buses to be increased. In this case, first, the number of people who need an alternative means of transportation can be estimated by multiplying the reduced number Tr1 and the average number of vehicle crew members. Therefore, what percentage of these uses a specific route? Predict further. The number of EV buses to be increased can be determined based on the predicted number of passengers and the average transport capacity (number of people) of EV buses on a specific route.

(Information provided by display unit)
Next, information provision in the display unit 13 will be described with reference to FIG. As illustrated in FIG. 7, in the display unit 13, the information regarding the CO ₂ emission amount of the city A that is aggregated by the aggregation unit 24 can be displayed in a graph format. The display screen 150 displayed on the display unit 13 includes a graph display area 151 and a measure information display area 152. The graph display area 151 displays a graph in which CO ₂ emissions of City A from January to June in the fiscal year in which the counting unit 24 is present are tabulated monthly. Each month's graph is divided into four parts. That shows a L1 indicating the value of the traffic volume in terms of CO ₂ emissions, and L2 indicates a value obtained by converting the electric power consumption in the CO ₂ emissions, a value obtained by converting the power production of the CO ₂ emissions L3 , And L4 indicating the total amount of CO ₂ emissions for the month. That is, this graph shows that the value obtained by subtracting L3 from the sum of L1 and L2 is L4.

The graph displayed in the graph display area 151 will be described in more detail. First, the value obtained by converting the traffic volume into the CO ₂ emission amount is gradually decreased from January to February, but gradually from March to June. It is increasing. In addition, the value obtained by converting the amount of electric power used to CO ₂ emissions is generally increasing from January to June. Then, the value obtained by converting the electric power consumption in the CO ₂ emissions are increased significantly from around March from the effects of daylight hours gradually longer. However, although the total amount of CO ₂ emissions declines from January to February, it tends to gradually increase from March to June. Since the total amount of CO ₂ emissions in June exceeded the predetermined reference value Th, the measure determining unit 25 required traffic to reduce the CO ₂ emissions below the predetermined reference Th. The volume reduction number is calculated, and the traffic volume reduction measure based on the calculation result is displayed in the measure information display area 152 as a measure for this month. The measure determining unit 25 calculates the number of EV buses necessary as an alternative transportation means, and displays the EV bus increase measure in the measure information display area 152 together with the above traffic reduction measure.

An example of the processing flow in the emission management server 10 will be described with reference to FIG. First, when the process is started, the range specifying unit 21 specifies a measuring instrument from which a measurement value is to be acquired (S1). And the measured value acquisition part 22 acquires a measured value from the measuring device specified by the range designation | designated part 21 via the communication network 50 (S2). Subsequently, the conversion unit 23 converts the acquired measurement value into the CO ₂ emission amount (S3).

As described above, the emission management server 10 uses the range designation unit 21 that designates the range of the place where the measurement value is to be acquired, and the various measuring devices installed in the place included in the designated range, A measurement value acquisition unit 22 that acquires a plurality of types of measurement values of usage, traffic volume, and power production, and the above-described plurality of types of measurement values acquired by the measurement value acquisition unit 22 represent a common index value (CO ₂ ), a conversion unit 23 that converts the amount into ₂ ). As a result, multiple types of measured values in a certain geographical range can be compared with a common index called CO ₂ emissions, and the total of the index values after conversion is added to determine the total value. There is an effect that it becomes possible to grasp.

  Hereinafter, a more preferable modification of the environment management system 1 will be described.

[Get terrain information]
The geographical information of the city A and the traveling speed / position information of the traveling vehicle may be acquired by the emission management server 10 to propose a driving method in which the vehicle emits less CO ₂ .

  For example, a case will be described in which the geographical information includes information that a road with city A is a downhill, and the travel speed / position information of the vehicle can be acquired from the traffic control system 124. The vehicle, the emission management server 10, and the traffic control system 124 can be connected to each other via a communication network.

  The emission management server 10 acquires vehicle position information. The emission management server 10 determines whether or not the road on which the vehicle is traveling is a downhill, based on the vehicle position information and geographic information. When it is determined that the vehicle is traveling on a downhill, the emission management server 10 further acquires the traveling speed of the vehicle from the traffic control system 124 and determines whether or not a predetermined speed or more is not present. If the speed exceeds a predetermined speed, the emission management server 10 makes a proposal to the vehicle “Let the gear be neutral if it is downhill”. This proposal may be configured to be displayed on the screen of a car navigation system installed in the vehicle, or may be made by voice announcement from an in-vehicle voice output device such as a radio receiver. In addition, this proposal may be displayed on an electric bulletin board installed around the position where the vehicle is traveling.

  Furthermore, the emission management server 10 may notify the proposal to the mobile phone owned by the driver of the vehicle.

[Estimation of measure effect]
In the discharge amount management server 10, the effect of the measure determined by the measure determining unit 25 may be evaluated. For example, when the traffic volume is regulated according to the traffic volume reduction policy determined by the policy determination unit 25 and the traffic volume is reduced, the transition of the CO ₂ emission amount is calculated for a predetermined period. At this time, if the CO ₂ emission amount falls below a predetermined standard, the emission amount management server 10 recognizes the effectiveness of the measure. When the effectiveness of the measure is not recognized, the emission management server 10 may correct the target value for traffic reduction or instruct to change the measure for reducing traffic.

In addition, in the present invention, since a common index of CO ₂ emissions can be obtained, it is possible to compare the effects of the measures with each other. For example, one measure that can reduce power consumption and another measure that can reduce traffic are described as follows. The reduction value of the power consumption due to the implementation of a certain measure and the reduction value of the traffic amount due to the implementation of another measure can be converted into a reduction amount of the CO ₂ emission by the emission management server 10. it can. Therefore, evaluation and reduction of CO ₂ emissions from certain measures, it is possible to compare the reduction of CO ₂ emissions by other measures, the validity and the importance of certain measures and other measures can do.

[Ranking by region]
Even if the emission amount management server 10 calculates the CO ₂ emission amounts from the first district R1 to the third district R3 of the city A, and displays them on the display unit 13 as a ranking list in order of decreasing CO ₂ emission amount. Good. At this time, the emission management server 10 may normalize the calculated CO ₂ emission so that a fair comparison can be made. Normalization is to calculate CO ₂ emissions per area and per area by dividing CO ₂ emissions by population and area.

According to this configuration, since it is possible to specify an environmentally friendly area from the viewpoint of CO ₂ emission, it is a guideline for determining which area can live an environment-friendly life.

[Embodiment 2]
Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9 as follows. For convenience of explanation, members having the same functions as those in the drawings already described are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

In this embodiment, in the environmental management system 1 according to the embodiment, by adding a point management server for further introducing a point system, as an incentive to promote a preferable action from the viewpoint of CO ₂ emission reduction, An example of giving points will be described. Preferred actions from the viewpoint of reducing CO ₂ emissions include direct actions and indirect actions. The direct action is an action that can directly reduce a value obtained by converting a measured value measured by each measuring device into a CO ₂ emission amount.

For example, the amount of power generated by a solar power generation panel installed in a house, office, or store is converted into a CO ₂ emission reduction amount in the emission management server 10. For this reason, the head of a household who installs a photovoltaic power generation panel or the manager of an office / store that installs a photovoltaic power generation panel should take favorable direct actions from the viewpoint of reducing CO ₂ emissions. I think.

In addition, when the householder of a certain house reduces the amount of electricity used, the conversion value obtained by converting the amount of electricity used to CO ₂ emissions will be reduced, which is preferable from the viewpoint of reducing CO ₂ emissions. I think that I am taking a proper action. An indirect action is an action that takes an alternative means that emits relatively little CO ₂ . For example, the movement may be an action using a public transportation instead of a gasoline car. Those who take the above actions are given points, and those who are given points can consume points and receive various benefits.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the environmental management system (monetary value assigning system) 1A further includes a point management server (monetary value management server) 200 and a point terminal T1 in addition to the environmental management system 1 shown using FIG. It has an added configuration.

  In the environment management system 1A, as an example, the user 500 is identified by a point card 501 incorporating an IC chip having an ID authentication function.

The point terminal T1 can read and write the point card 501 and can read user ID information from the point card 501. The point terminal T1 is provided with specific information for specifying each public transport and is installed in the public transport. The specific information is a unique identifier assigned to each public transport. For example, an identifier such as “station 110A” is assigned to the point terminal T1 installed in the station 110A. Further, the point terminal T1 reads the user ID information from the point card 501 presented by the user 500 who uses public transportation. Then, the read user ID information and the specific information given to the own terminal are transmitted to the point management server 200 via the communication network 50.
The point management server 200 is for realizing a so-called point service. The point management server 200 can give points having monetary value to the user. The user 500 can receive various privileges or shop by consuming the given points.

More specifically, the point management server 200 includes a communication unit 201, a control unit 202, and a point management database 210. The communication unit 201 is a network interface that realizes communication via the communication network 50. The point management database 210 stores information for managing points. The point management database 210 stores user ID information for identifying a user and points assigned to the user in association with each other. The control unit 202 executes a program for managing points, and more specifically includes a point conversion unit 203 and a point granting unit 204. The point conversion unit 203 converts the conversion value of the CO ₂ emission amount obtained by acquiring the conversion value of the CO ₂ emission amount from the emission management server 10 into points. The point conversion unit 203 converts, for example, a converted value of the negative CO ₂ emission amount based on the power production amount of the house 121, that is, a CO ₂ reduction amount into a positive point. Further, the point conversion unit 203 may convert the points into more points as the CO ₂ reduction amount is larger. The point giving unit 204 is for giving the points converted by the point conversion unit 203 to a user who takes a preferable action from the viewpoint of reducing CO ₂ emissions.

A specific method for giving points by the point conversion unit 203 and the point giving unit 204 will be described. First, user ID information is assigned to the householder of the house 121, and the user ID information and the ID information of the power production measuring device M3 are associated with each other and registered in advance in the point management database 210. Then, the point conversion unit 203 acquires the ID information of the power production measuring device M3 and the CO ₂ reduction amount converted value of the power production amount of the house 121 from the emission management server 10, and points the CO ₂ reduction amount. Convert to. Next, the point granting unit 204 refers to the point management database 210, identifies the user ID information of the householder associated with the ID information of the power production meter M3, and identifies the identified user ID information The points converted by the point conversion unit 203 are assigned to the. Further, the point granting unit 204 may grant points to the householder of the house 121 or the manager of the office / store 122 where the photovoltaic power generation panel is installed. The case where points are given to the manager of the office / store 122 is also as described above. Note that the point granting unit 204 may grant points according to public transportation used by users of public transportation. More specifically, the point granting unit 204 receives the user ID information and the specific information from the point terminal T1, and for the received user ID information, points according to the public transportation specified by the specific information Is granted.

(About point flow)
Next, the flow of points in the environment management system 1A will be described with reference to FIG. A line indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 9 indicates a flow of points.

[Points for CO ₂ reduction]
The power usage amount is transmitted from the power production amount measuring device M3 of the house 121 or the office / store 122 to the emission amount management server 10, and the emission amount management server 10 converts the power consumption amount into a CO ₂ reduction amount. The point management server 200 acquires the CO ₂ reduction amount from the emission management server 10 and gives points to the head of the household 121 or the manager of the office / store 122.

[Points by using public institutions]
Point terminals T1 are provided at the stations 110A and 110B, the EV bus system 123, and the EV car sharing system 126. The user 500 causes the point terminal T1 to read the point card when using these public transportation facilities. For example, when using the stations 110A and 110B, the user 500 causes the point terminal T1 provided at the stations 110A and 110B to read the point card. As a result, the user ID information of the user 500 and the identification information of the used public transportation system are transmitted from the railway facility 111 to the point management server 200, and the point management server 200 responds to the use of the stations 110A and 110B. Points are given to the user ID information of the user 500. The same applies to the EV bus system 123 and the EV car sharing system 126. The given points may be used as a fee for using these public transportation facilities.
Further, the configuration is not limited to the configuration in which the point terminal T1 is allowed to read the point card as described above and the points are given by using a public institution, and the points may be provided based on the positioning information of the GPS function. Specifically, first, positioning information measured by the GPS function is transmitted to the point management server 200 from a portable terminal having a GPS (Global Positioning System) function. Then, the point management server 200 estimates whether or not the user of the mobile terminal has used public transportation based on the positioning information transmitted from the mobile terminal. As a result, when it can be estimated that the user of the mobile terminal has used public transportation, it is assumed that the user has taken an indirect action, and the point management server 200 responds to the user ID information of the user. Give points.

  Below, the preferable modification of environmental management system 1A is demonstrated.

[Points for using offices and stores]
Since stores (offices / stores 122) where solar power panels are installed contribute to CO ₂ reduction, points may be given to the user 500 every time they shop at such stores. Absent. That is, when shopping at such a store, the user 500 causes the point terminal T1 installed in the store to read the point card. Thereby, the point management server 200 gives points to the user ID information of the user 500. In addition, the user 500 may consume his / her points and shop at the store.

[Granting points and notifications]
The point management server 200 may further include an input unit for receiving instruction input, information input, and the like from a server administrator or a server-related party such as a point system operator, and displays various types of information. You may provide the display part for outputting. Then, the point management server 200 may receive an instruction input from the server administrator at the input unit, and may be able to give points to the user ID information of the specific user 500. Further, the point management server 200 may be configured to display the points given to each user 500 on the display unit. In addition, a display unit, an input unit, and the like may be provided in the point terminal T1 so that points given to the user 500 can be inquired from the point terminal T1 according to the operation of the user 500. Further, the point management server 200 may include a notification unit for notifying the user 500 of the points given to the user 500. For example, the e-mail address of the user 500 may be stored in the point management server 200 and notified to the user 500 by e-mail regularly or whenever a point is given.

[Integration of emission management server and point management server]
The environment management system 1A is an example until it gets tired. Therefore, the emission management server 10 and the point management server 200 can be realized by integrating the emission management server 10 and the point management server 200 as one server device. It is also optional to implement by configuring from a plurality of server devices.

[Others]
Finally, each block of the emission management server 10 and the point management server 200, in particular, the range specification unit 21, the measurement value acquisition unit 22, the conversion unit 23, the counting unit 24, and the measure determination unit 25 of the emission management server 10, and The point conversion unit 203 and the point grant unit 204 of the point management server 200 may be configured by hardware logic, or may be realized by software using a CPU as follows.

  That is, the emission management server 10 and the point management server 200 expand a CPU (central processing unit) that executes instructions of a control program that realizes each function, a ROM (read only memory) that stores the program, and the program. A RAM (random access memory), a storage device (recording medium) such as a memory for storing the program and various data, and the like are provided. An object of the present invention is to allow a computer to read program codes (execution format program, intermediate code program, source program) of control programs for the emission management server 10 and the point management server 200, which are software for realizing the functions described above. This can also be achieved by supplying the recording medium recorded in the above to the emission management server 10 and the point management server 200, and the computer (or CPU or MPU) reads and executes the program code recorded on the recording medium. It is.
