[Contents stored on the hard disk]
Here, the contents stored in the hard disk 8 will be described. First, the first table stored in the hard disk 8 will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the first table. The first table holds static information related to the employee in association with the employee. That is, the employee ID of each employee is stored in the employee field. In the usable room field, the usable period field, and the schedule field, static information about the employee stored in the employee field is stored. Specifically, in the usable room field, an ID of a room having authority (hereinafter, use authority) used by an employee stored in the employee field is stored. The usage authority is also the authority for employees to enter. Here, the right to use any room is held by a plurality of employees.

  The ID stored in the usable room field may be an ID of a room including equipment (air conditioner, lighting device) for which the employee stored in the employee field has management authority.

  In the usable period field, the effective period of the usage authority is stored. For example, the authority to use the room A and room B of the employee A is valid in the working period that is a period from 9:00 to 19:00 (see FIG. 3). In addition, for example, the authority to use room E, which is a labor union room for employee C, who is a labor union member, is effective in a non-working period, which is a period from 19:00 to 24:00 (see FIG. 3).

The state information of each room indicates whether the state of the room is in the first state or the second state.

[processing]
In the information processing apparatus 2, a room with a large amount of power consumption per person is detected. For example, a room in which an air conditioner or a lighting device is operating is detected even though no one is using it.

  Further, when a room with a large amount of power consumption per person is detected, at least one employee is instructed to execute a measure for reducing the power consumption in the room. For this reason, the information processing apparatus 2 prevents the occurrence of a situation in which a large amount of power is consumed in one room. Hereinafter, this point will be described.

  5 and 6 are flowcharts illustrating an example of processing executed by the information processing apparatus 2. These processes are executed by the control unit 4 that operates according to the program.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing processing performed periodically for each of room A to room H. Hereinafter, the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 will be described. Hereinafter, the room being processed is referred to as a room X.

  First, the control unit 4 receives the accumulated power amount of the room X transmitted from the power measurement device provided in the room X (one region) (S101).

  And the control part 4 (energy consumption acquisition means) acquires the power consumption currently consumed by the room X (S102). That is, the control unit 4 calculates a difference obtained by subtracting the previously received cumulative power amount from the currently received cumulative power amount as the power consumption amount.

  Further, the control unit 4 (number of persons specifying means) specifies the number of employees located in the room X with reference to the second table (see FIG. 4) (S103). That is, the control unit 4 counts the number of employees whose room X ID is stored in the position field.

  And the control part 4 (determination means) determines whether the power consumption per person is more than the reference | standard electric energy W (here W = 70) based on the counted number of persons and power consumption. (S104).

  In the case of the present embodiment, the control unit 4 determines whether or not the counted number of people and the power consumption amount have a predetermined relationship, whereby the power consumption amount per person is equal to or greater than the reference power amount W. It is determined whether or not. Here, the control unit 4 calculates the product of the counted number of people and the reference power amount W, and determines whether or not the relationship of “(product) ≦ (power consumption amount)” is established. When the above relationship is established, the control unit 4 determines that the amount of power consumption per person is greater than or equal to the reference power amount W. When the above relationship is not established, the control unit 4 determines that the amount of power consumption per person is the reference amount. It is determined that the amount of power is less than W.

  Note that the control unit 4 determines whether or not the power consumption amount per person is equal to or greater than the reference power amount W, for example, the counted number of persons is 10 or less and the power consumption is 700 or more. It may be determined whether or not. That is, the control unit 4 may determine whether or not the counted number of people satisfies the number of people condition regarding the number of people and the power consumption satisfies the power condition regarding the amount of power. In this case, when both the number of people condition and the power condition are satisfied, the control unit 4 determines that the power consumption amount per person is equal to or more than the reference power amount W, and the control unit 4 What is necessary is just to determine with the power consumption amount per person being smaller than the reference | standard power amount W, when at least one is not satisfied.

  First, processing when the amount of power consumption per person is equal to or greater than the reference power amount W will be described. When the power consumption amount per person is equal to or greater than the reference power amount W (YES in S104), the control unit 4 determines whether or not the state of the room X is the first state (S105). When the state of the room X is the second state (NO in S105), the control unit 4 ends the process.

  On the other hand, when the state of the room X is the first state (YES in S105), the control unit 4 (selecting means) refers to the first table (see FIG. 3) as shown in FIG. At least one employee is selected from a plurality of employees having the right to use (S106). FIG. 6 will be described later.

  In step S106, the control unit 4 also stores the employee ID of the selected employee in the hard disk 8 as the designated employee ID.

  Then, the control unit 4 (treatment instruction means) instructs the employee selected in step S106 to execute a treatment for reducing the power consumption in the room X (S107). Here, “treatment for reducing power consumption in room X” is, for example, “stopping the operation of equipment provided in room X after moving to room X” and “after moving to room X” Instructing employees who are in room X to leave the room X ”. In the case of the present embodiment, the control unit 4 transmits a treatment execution instruction for instructing the execution of the treatment to the portable information terminal of the employee selected in step S106.

  The employee who sees the treatment execution instruction displayed on the portable information terminal rushes to the room X.

  And the control part 4 updates the state of the room X to a 2nd state (S108), and complete | finishes a process.

  Next, processing when the power consumption per person is smaller than the reference power amount W will be described.

  When the amount of power consumption per person is smaller than the reference power amount W (NO in S104), the control unit 4 determines whether or not the treatment execution instruction has been made in the past. Specifically, the control unit 4 determines whether or not the room X is in the second state (S109).

  When the state of the room X is the first state (NO in S109), the control unit 4 ends the process.

  On the other hand, when the state of the room X is the second state, that is, when the above-mentioned treatment execution instruction has been made in the past (YES in S109), the control unit 4 (notification unit) stores the above-mentioned instruction destination stored in the hard disk 8 A notification process for notifying the cancellation of the execution of the above treatment is executed for the employee indicated by each employee ID (the employee who has received the above treatment execution instruction) (S110). That is, the control unit 4 transmits notification information to the portable information terminal of the employee who has received the treatment execution instruction.

  Then, the control unit 4 updates the state of the room X to the first state (S111). Further, the control unit 4 deletes the designated employee ID.

  With the processing in FIG. 5, the occurrence of a situation where a large amount of power for the number of people is consumed in the room is suppressed. In addition, despite the fact that a situation in which a large amount of energy is consumed for the number of people has been solved, employees are prevented from performing the above-described treatment.

  In the information processing apparatus 2, the process shown in FIG. 6 is executed in step S106, so that at least one employee is selected in consideration of information about the employee. Hereinafter, FIG. 6 will be described.

  First, the control unit 4 (information acquisition means, selection means) refers to the first table (see FIG. 3) and the second table (see FIG. 4) to determine whether there is any employee in the room X. Determine (S201). Since the employee in room X always has the right to use room X, in step S201, the control unit 4 changes the position table from the second table for each employee who has the right to use room X. The stored information is acquired, and it is determined whether there is any employee in the room X based on the acquired information.

  When any employee is present in the room X (YES in S201), the control unit 4 (selecting means) selects the employee present in the room X (S207) and ends the process.

  On the other hand, when there is no employee in the room X (NO in S201), the control unit 4 (time acquisition means) acquires the current time (time information) (S202).

  Then, the control unit 4 (information acquisition means, selection means) refers to the first table (see FIG. 3), and uses the room X usage authority from among a plurality of employees who have the room X usage authority. Identifies employees who are currently active (S203). Specifically, the control unit 4 acquires the effective period stored in the usable period field for each of a plurality of employees who have the authority to use the room X, and compares the acquired effective period with the current time. Based on the above, the employee who is currently authorized to use the room X is identified.

  Then, the control unit 4 determines whether or not there are a plurality of employees identified in the step of S203, that is, employees who are currently effective in using the room X (S204). If there is only one employee identified in the step of S203 (NO in S204), the control unit 4 (selecting means) selects the employee identified in the step of S203 (S208).

  On the other hand, when there are a plurality of employees identified in the step of S203 (YES in S204), the control unit 4 (information acquisition means) displays a position field (see FIG. 4) for each of the plurality of employees identified in the step of S203. Based on the stored position of the employee, the position of room X, and the schedule information indicating the schedule of the employee's action stored in the schedule field (see FIG. 3), the employee rushes to room X A moving load indicating the distance that must be moved is acquired (S205). The moving load corresponds to “load information”.

  Specifically, the control unit 4 performs the following processing when acquiring a movement load for one employee. That is, if the one employee is not scheduled to move to a room other than the room X within a predetermined time from the current time in the schedule of the one employee's action indicated by the schedule information, the control unit 4 A path from the position of the path to the position of the room X is specified based on a path determination algorithm, and the reciprocal distance of the path is calculated as a movement load.

  On the other hand, if the one employee is scheduled to move to a room other than the room X within a predetermined time from the current time in the schedule of the one employee indicated by the schedule information, the room X is moved from the position of the one employee. The path to the position of the room, the path to the position of the room where the one employee is scheduled to move from the position of the room X (hereinafter referred to as room Y), and the position of the one employee from the position of the room Y And the path to be determined based on the path determination algorithm. Then, from the sum of the distance of the path from the position of the one employee to the position of the room X and the distance of the path from the position of the room X to the position of the room Y, the position of the one employee from the position of the room Y is calculated. The difference obtained by subtracting the distance of the route to the position is calculated as the movement load.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the nature of the mobile load. PA indicates the position of room A. PB indicates the position of room B. PG indicates the position of room G, that is, the position of an employee in room G (hereinafter referred to as employee X). Moreover, P1 has shown the position in a floor. R1 indicates a route from PG to PB, R2 indicates a route from PB to PA, and R3 indicates a route from PA to PG. Here, a case where room B is room X is taken as an example.

  If employee X does not plan to move to a room other than room B, employee X must both leave room G and rush to room B. Therefore, the movement load, which is the distance that the employee X must dare to move, is the reciprocating distance of the route R1. That is, the moving load is twice the distance of the path R1. On the other hand, if the employee X plans to move to the room A, the employee X inevitably has to move the reciprocating distance of the route R3 from the room G to the room A. Therefore, the movement load, which is the distance that the employee X must move, is the difference obtained by subtracting the distance of the path R3 from the sum of the distance of the path R1 and the distance of the path R2, that is, the round trip from the position P to the position PB. Only distance.

  Thus, the movement load tends to be shorter when there is a plan to move to a room other than the room X than when there is no plan to move to a room other than the room X.

  When the movement load is calculated for each employee, the control unit 4 (selecting means) selects at least one employee from the plurality of employees specified in step S203 based on the calculated movement load (S206). For example, the control unit 4 selects an employee whose travel load is 1 to N (N is a constant).

  The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.

  For example, when the employee selected in step S106 rushes to the room X, the number of employees including the employee is specified in the subsequent step S103, so that the product value described above increases. It will be. For this reason, if the employee rushes to room X and the relationship described above is not established, the notification process is performed on the employee even though the employee who rushed to room X has not performed the above action. There is a possibility that.

  Therefore, if at least one employee is instructed to execute the above-mentioned procedure in step S107, the control unit 4 (number-of-person specifying means) is located in room X in the subsequent step of S103. The number of employees other than employees may be specified.

  That is, when the state of the room X is the second state, that is, when the execution of the treatment is instructed, the control unit 4 is in the room X in the step of S103. The number of employees other than the employee who is instructed to execute is specified based on the second table and the instruction-destination employee ID stored in the hard disk 8. On the other hand, when the state of the room X is the first state, that is, when the execution of the treatment is not instructed, the control unit 4 determines the number of employees in the room X in step S103. Identify.

  Also, for example, during the daytime (working hours), it is less necessary to turn on the light than at night (non-working hours). Therefore, the information processing apparatus 2 may change the reference power amount W according to the time. In this case, the control unit 4 reads data that associates the time condition with the reference power amount W candidate from the hard disk 8 and selects candidates associated with the condition that the current time is satisfied in step S104. What is necessary is just to use it as the reference electric energy W.

  Further, the reference power amount W may be stored in the hard disk 8 in association with the room. In this case, the control part 4 should just use the reference electric energy W linked | related with the room X in the step of S104.

  Further, for example, the control unit 4 may select at least one employee based on at least one of the position, role, and business status of the employee.

  Further, for example, in step S110 (see FIG. 5), the control unit 4 executes notification processing for employees other than those who have actually performed the above processing among the employees who have received the above-mentioned treatment execution instruction. You may do it. In this case, in step S110, the control unit 4 acquires the employee ID of the employee who actually performed the above-described procedure, and executes notification processing for the employee indicated by the designated employee ID other than the employee ID. You just have to do it.

  Further, for example, the hard disk 8 may store the time when the most employees used the room for each room. When the control unit 4 determines in step S201 that the current time is a time after the time stored in the hard disk 8 and the number of people using the room X is equal to or less than a predetermined reference number, Steps may be executed, and if not, the steps after S202 may be executed.

  Further, the amount of energy is not limited to the amount of power. For example, the amount of energy may be the amount of discharged carbon dioxide or the amount of heat discharged.
