And it has the function to transmit to the meeting feature-value calculation apparatus SV via the communication network NW, after converting the detection data provided with this sensor ID into the data format required in order to transmit with the communication network NW. Note that the communication network NW is configured by, for example, a LAN (Local Area Network) or a wireless LAN.

  The conference feature quantity calculation device SV is composed of, for example, a server computer and is configured as follows. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration. In other words, the conference feature quantity calculation device SV includes a communication interface unit 1, an input / output interface unit 2, a control unit 3, and a storage unit 4.

The communication interface unit 1 transmits / receives information to / from the user terminals UT1 to UTk and the relays C1 to Cn according to the communication protocol defined by the communication network NW under the control of the control unit 3.
An input device 5 and a display device 6 are connected to the input / output interface unit 2. The input / output interface unit 2 transfers the reservation information and quantitative evaluation execution request of the conference rooms R1 to Rn input by the input device 5 to the control unit 3, and displays the feature amount data output from the control unit 3 on the display device 2. To display.

  The storage unit 4 uses, for example, an HDD (Hard Disc Drive) or an SSD (Solid State Drive) as a storage medium. As a database necessary for carrying out an embodiment of the present invention, a sensor information storage unit 41 and The conference reservation information storage unit 42 and the feature amount storage unit 43 are provided.

  The sensor information storage unit 41 is used to store sensor information detected by the indoor sensors Sr1 to Srn and the outdoor sensors Sro1 to Sron installed inside and outside the conference rooms R1 to Rn, respectively. The sensor information includes detection data of indoor illuminance, indoor temperature, indoor vibration level, outdoor illuminance, outdoor temperature, and outdoor vibration level, and these detected data are stored in association with sensor identification information (sensor ID). . FIG. 5 shows an example of the sensor information storage result.

  The conference reservation information storage unit 42 is used for storing conference reservation information input by the input device 5. The conference reservation information includes a conference name, a conference room name, a conference start scheduled date and time, and a conference end scheduled date and time, and these are stored in association with a conference ID for uniquely identifying the conference. FIG. 3 shows an example of this conference reservation information.

  The conference reservation information storage unit 42 also stores sensor installation information in addition to the conference reservation information. The sensor installation information is obtained by associating the sensor IDs of the indoor sensors Sr1 to Srn and the outdoor sensors Sro1 to Sron with the name of the conference room in which these sensors are installed. FIG. 4 shows an example of this sensor installation information.

  The feature amount storage unit 43 is used to store feature amount data of a conference held in the conference room, which is calculated by the control unit 3 described later.

  The control unit 3 includes a central processing unit (CPU). As control functions necessary for carrying out one embodiment of the present invention, a sensor information reception control unit 31 and a conference schedule information registration control unit 32 are provided. A quantitative evaluation execution specifying unit 33, a feature amount calculation processing unit 34, and a feature amount output control unit 35. Note that the functions of the control units 31 to 35 are realized by causing the CPU to execute application programs stored in a program memory (not shown).

  Each time the detection data of the indoor sensors Sr1 to Srn and the outdoor sensors Sro1 to Sron are transferred from the repeaters C1 to Cn of the conference rooms R1 to Rn, the sensor information reception control unit 31 transmits the detection data to the communication interface unit. 1 is received. Then, information indicating the detection or reception time is given to each received detection data, and the detection data to which the time information is given is stored in the sensor information storage unit 41.

  The conference reservation information registration control unit 32 receives the input conference reservation information via the input / output interface unit 2 when conference reservation information is input from the input device 5. Then, the conference reservation information is assigned to the conference reservation information, and the conference reservation information to which the conference ID is assigned is stored in the conference reservation information storage unit 42.

  The quantitative evaluation execution designating unit 33 receives the input execution request via the input / output interface unit 2 when a user inputs a quantitative evaluation execution request through the input device 5. Then, authentication of the requesting user is performed based on user information stored in a user database (not shown), and the feature quantity calculation processing unit 34 is subjected to the above quantitative evaluation when the validity of the user is confirmed. Give a request for implementation.

The feature amount calculation processing unit 34 executes the following processing.
(1) When a quantitative evaluation execution request is given from the quantitative evaluation execution specifying unit 34, the conference reservation information associated with the conference ID specified by the execution request is read from the conference reservation information storage unit 42. At the same time, the sensor ID of the sensor installed in the conference room is read from the center installation information stored in the conference reservation information storage unit 42 using the conference room name included in the read conference reservation information as a key. The sensor information detected by the sensor during a period from a predetermined time before the scheduled start date and time included in the read conference reservation information to a predetermined period after the scheduled conference end date and time included in the conference reservation information. Is read out from the sensor information storage unit 41.

(2) The scheduled meeting time zone is calculated from the scheduled meeting start date and time and the scheduled end date and time included in the read meeting reservation information. Then, the conference feature amount is calculated by substituting the calculated scheduled meeting time zone and the read sensor information into an evaluation function formula defined to quantitatively evaluate the activity amount of the conference. To do.
(3) A process of storing the calculated conference feature amount data in the feature amount storage unit 43 in association with the conference ID is performed.

  When a feature value output request is input from the input device 5, the feature value output control unit 35 reads the feature value data associated with the conference ID specified by the request from the feature value storage unit 43, A process for displaying the output feature data on the display device 6 via the input / output interface unit 2 is performed.

(Operation)
Next, the operation of the system configured as described above will be described in accordance with the control procedure of the conference room usage management device SV. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the control procedure and control contents of the conference feature quantity calculation device SV.
(1) Registration of Conference Schedule Information Information for making a conference room use reservation, that is, conference reservation information, is registered by operating the input device 5 of the conference feature quantity calculation device SV.
In the standby state, the control unit 3 of the conference feature quantity calculation device SV monitors the conference reservation information input operation in step S1. In this state, it is assumed that the manager in charge inputs conference reservation information at the input device 5 in response to a request from the user. Then, the control unit 3 activates the conference reservation information registration control unit 32 in step S <b> 2 and takes in the input conference reservation information from the input / output interface unit 2 under the control of the conference reservation information registration control unit 32. Then, a conference ID for uniquely identifying the conference and a user ID are assigned to the captured conference reservation information, and the conference reservation information to which the conference ID and the user ID are assigned is stored in the conference reservation information storage unit 42. Remember me.

  For example, if the user ID of the user requesting registration is u and the conference ID is m, the conference reservation information is represented by a vector X (u, m). The components of the vector X (u, m) are represented by conference name: Num, conference room name: Rum, conference start date and time: Sum, conference end date and time: Eum. FIG. 3 shows an example of conference reservation information stored in the conference reservation information storage unit 42.

(2) Collection and accumulation of sensor information In the indoor sensors Sr1 to Srn and the outdoor sensors Sro1 to Sron, the illuminance, temperature, and vibration level outside the conference room and the conference room are detected at predetermined intervals, respectively. Then, the detection data is transmitted from the relays C1 to Cn to the conference feature amount calculation device SV.
In the conference feature amount calculation device SV, the control unit 3 monitors reception of detection data (sensor information) in step S3. When detection data is received by the communication interface unit 1 in this state, the control unit 3 activates the sensor information reception control unit 31 in step S4. Then, under the control of the sensor information reception control unit 31, the detection data is fetched from the communication interface unit 1 and the detection data is stored in the sensor information storage unit 41.

For example, if the sensor ID is r, the detection data is represented by a vector Y (r). The component of the vector Y (r) is represented by illuminance: Lr (t), temperature: Tr (t), and vibration level Pr (t), where t is the detection or reception time. FIG. 5 shows an example of detection data stored as sensor information in the sensor information storage unit 41.
Thereafter, each time new detection data is received, the process of receiving the detection data and storing it in the sensor information storage unit 41 is repeated.

(3) Calculation of Feature Quantity The control unit 3 of the conference room usage management device SV monitors the input of the quantitative evaluation execution request in step S5. In this state, it is assumed that the manager in charge inputs the user ID and password of the user himself / herself and inputs the quantitative evaluation request on the input device 5. The quantitative evaluation execution request includes the meeting ID of the meeting to be evaluated.

  Then, under the control of the quantitative evaluation execution control unit 33, the control unit 3 takes in the input user ID and password and the quantitative evaluation execution request via the input / output interface unit 2. The user ID and password are first verified against user information stored in a user database (not shown) to authenticate the requesting user, and the user's validity is confirmed. An execution request for the quantitative evaluation is given to the quantity calculation processing unit 34.

When the execution request for the quantitative evaluation is given, the feature amount calculation processing unit 34 is activated in step S6, and thereafter the feature amount calculation process is executed under the control of the feature amount calculation processing unit 34 as follows. . FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure and processing contents.
For example, when quantitatively evaluating the amount of activity of a participant during a conference, if the user ID is u and the conference ID is m, the feature quantity Z (u, m) of the conference is expressed by the following equation. The
Z (u, m) = f {X (u, m), Yr} (1)
Here, X (u, m) represents a conference reservation information vector, and Y (r) represents a sensor information vector.

  In order to calculate the above formula, the feature amount calculation processing unit 34 firstly uses the conference ID of the conference to be evaluated designated by the quantitative evaluation execution request as a key from the conference reservation information storage unit 42 in step S61. Read the relevant conference reservation information. For example, if the conference ID is ID1, “user ID: u1”, “conference name Nnm: a1”, “conference room name Rum: b1”, “conference start scheduled date and time Sum: ts1” shown in FIG. “Conference end scheduled date and time Eum: te1” is read.

  Next, in step S62, the sensor installation information stored in the conference reservation information storage unit 42 is accessed using the conference room name Rum included in the read conference reservation information as a key, and is installed in the conference room. Search for the sensor ID of the sensor. For example, taking the sensor installation information shown in FIG. 4 as an example, the sensor ID: S1 corresponding to the conference room name Rum: b1 as a key is searched.

  Subsequently, in step S63, the conference reservation information associated with the conference ID designated by the quantitative evaluation execution request is read from the conference reservation information storage unit. At the same time, the sensor information detected or received by the indoor sensor Sr1 and the outdoor sensor Sro1 corresponding to the sensor ID: S1 is read from the sensor information storage unit 41 during the set evaluation target period.

  Further, from the read out illuminance information L (t), the room illuminance whose illuminance has increased by a certain level or more at the timing closest to the scheduled conference start date Sum is extracted, and the detection time of the room illuminance is determined. The lighting time, that is, the actual meeting start time Ts is detected. At the same time, from the read room illuminance L (t), the room illuminance whose illuminance has dropped below a certain level at the timing closest to the scheduled meeting end date and time Eum is extracted, and the detection time of this room illuminance is determined. This is detected as the turn-off time of the conference room, that is, the actual conference end time Te.

Next, in step S64, the read sensor information and the previously read conference reservation information are substituted into the equation (1) to calculate the conference feature amount Z (u, m).
A specific calculation example of the conference feature amount Z (u, m) is shown below.
[Example 1]
Calculation of activity amount during conference based on vibration level The conference activity amount evaluation parameter f1 as the conference feature amount Z (u, m) in this case is calculated by the following equation (2).
Te
f1 {X (u, m), Yr} = (1 / np) .SIGMA. {Pr (t) -Pro (t)} (2)
t = Ts
However, Pr (t) is the vibration level inside the conference room at time t, Pro (t) is the vibration level outside the conference room at time t, and np is detected or received between the conference start time Ts and the conference end time Te. The number of detected data of vibration levels.

  That is, the average value of the difference between the vibration level in the meeting room and the outdoor vibration level during the meeting is calculated, and the calculated average value of the difference between the vibration levels is a parameter f1 for evaluating the activity amount of the meeting. Become. The calculated parameter f1 is stored in the feature amount storage unit 43 in association with the conference ID in step S65.

[Example 2]
Calculation of activity amount during conference based on vibration level and temperature The conference activity amount evaluation parameter f2 as the conference feature amount Z (u, m) in this case is calculated by the following equation (3).
Te
f2 {X (u, m), Yr} = [alpha] (1 / np) [Sigma] {Pr (t) -Pro (t)}
t = Ts
Te
+ Β (1 / nt) Σ {Tr (t) −Tro (t)} (3)
t = Ts
Where Tr (t) is the temperature inside the conference room at time t, Tro (t) is the temperature outside the conference room at time t, and nt is the temperature detected or received between the conference start time Ts and the conference end time Te. The detected data numbers α, β are weighting coefficients for the vibration level and temperature, respectively.

  That is, the average value of the difference between the vibration level in the meeting room and the outdoor vibration level during the meeting, and the average value of the difference between the temperature in the meeting room and the outdoor temperature during the meeting are calculated, respectively. The average value of the level difference and the average value of the temperature difference are added to each other after weighting coefficients α and β are given, respectively. The value after the addition is an evaluation parameter f2 for evaluating the activity amount of the conference. The calculated evaluation parameter f2 is also associated with the conference ID and stored in the feature amount storage unit 43 in step S65.

  When the evaluation parameters f1 and f2 representing the amount of activity of the conference are calculated, the feature amount calculation processing unit 34 determines whether the calculation processing has been completed for all the conference IDs specified by the quantitative evaluation execution request. To do. If an uncalculated meeting ID remains, the process returns to step S61 and the process of calculating the meeting feature amount Z (u, m) is repeatedly executed in steps S61 to S65 described above.

[Example 3]
The feature amount calculation processing unit 34 calculates the scheduled conference time zone from the scheduled conference start date Sum and the scheduled conference end date Eum included in the conference reservation information read from the conference reservation information storage unit 42. Eum-Sum is calculated.
Based on the actual conference start time Ts and conference end time Te detected based on the change in the room illuminance L (t) and the conference scheduled time zone Eum-Sum, the scheduled conference time zone Eum -Calculate the ratio of actual meeting time to Sum, and use the result as the actual time implementation rate. The calculation formula of this implementation rate is shown below.
f3 {X (u, m), Yr} = (Te-Ts) / (Eum-Sum)
Then, the calculated conference execution rate f3 is stored in the feature amount storage unit 43 in association with the conference ID.

[Example 4]
Calculation of Conference Delay Rate The feature amount calculation processing unit 34 calculates the delay rate of the actual conference time with respect to the scheduled conference time zone registered in the conference schedule information as follows. That is, since the actual conference end time Te and the scheduled conference time zone Eum-Sum are calculated in the implementation rate calculation process, the actual conference time for the scheduled conference time zone Eum-Sum is calculated using these parameters. Is calculated by the following equation.
f4 {X (u, m), Yr} = (Te-Eum) / (Eum-Sum)
The calculated actual meeting time delay rate f4 is stored in the feature amount storage unit 43 in association with the meeting ID.

(4) Feature amount output processing It is assumed that the manager in charge inputs a conference feature amount output request on the input device 5 after inputting the conference ID of the conference to view the feature amount of the conference of interest. Then, the control unit 3 of the conference feature value calculation device SV activates the feature value output control unit 35 in step S7. Then, under the control of the feature amount output control unit 35, the corresponding feature amount calculation data is read from the feature amount storage unit 43 based on the conference ID included in the output request in step S8. Subsequently, the read feature amount calculation data is output to the input / output interface unit 2. As a result, the feature quantity calculation data is displayed on the display device 6 by the input / output interface unit 2.

  Further, when an output request is received from the user terminals UT1 to UTk, the corresponding feature amount calculation data is read from the feature amount storage unit 43 based on the conference ID included in the output request, and this read It is also possible to transmit the characteristic amount calculation data from the communication interface unit 1 to the requesting user terminal via the communication network NW for display.

  In response to the output request, conference reservation information associated with the conference ID is read from the conference reservation information storage unit 42, and the read conference reservation information is displayed on the display device 6 together with the feature amount calculation data. It is displayed or sent to the user terminal.

Based on the displayed conference reservation information and feature amount calculation data, the manager in charge can perform, for example, the following evaluation for each completed conference.
(1) Review of the conference Based on the implementation rate f3 and the delay rate f4, it is possible to grasp the start / end trend for each conference. In addition, it is possible to look down on a conference with a large activity amount based on the parameters f1 and f2 for evaluating the activity amount and grasp the characteristics thereof. In addition, it is possible to look down on a non-conducted conference based on the implementation rate f3 and grasp the conference name and organizer. Furthermore, it is possible to pick up important meetings and important participants based on the meeting prediction information, and to cluster the meetings and their participants.

(2) Action prediction It is possible to predict the meeting end time of a meeting of the same kind scheduled to be held in the future from the delay rate f4.

(3) Recommendation The control unit 3 monitors the conference end time Te during the conference, and when the conference end time Te is detected, the conference end time Te is displayed together with the conference end scheduled date and time Eum of the conference reservation information. By displaying the above, the person in charge of management can notify the user who has reserved the next meeting that the previous meeting has ended when the meeting ends earlier than scheduled.
In addition, it is possible to grasp the cause by marking the meeting name and the organizer with a low implementation rate f3.

(4) Remind For each meeting, the scheduled meeting start date and time Sum of the meeting reservation information is monitored. If the meeting does not start even when the scheduled meeting start date and time Sum is reached, a reminder is notified to the organizer of the meeting. It becomes possible.

(5) Power saving measures After the conference end time Te is detected, the power of conference equipment such as air conditioners, projectors and electronic blackboards can be monitored and the power of these devices can be turned off.

  The processes (1) to (5) described above are not performed by the person in charge of management, but an application program for executing these processes is installed in the conference feature amount calculation device SV, and the conference feature amount calculation device is installed. The SV may be configured to automatically execute the processes (1) to (5) by executing these application programs.
