[Communication amount calculation processing]
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of a communication amount calculation process according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the image generation server 21 receives the measurement information transmitted from the measuring device 61, and the following description is based on the assumption that the measurement information is recorded / held in the information recording unit 102.

  As shown in FIG. 5, first, the communication amount calculation unit 108 sets a set strength among the one or more wireless reception strengths between the measuring machines 61A and 61B recorded and held as measurement information 102B in the information recording unit 102. A radio reception strength that is equal to or greater than (for example, −60 dB) is selected (step S1). The setting intensity is provided not only for removing noise but also for determining that each person is nearby as will be described later.

  The communication amount calculation unit 108 determines whether the distance between the persons is within a predetermined distance based on the wireless reception strength. The communication amount calculation unit 108 determines that the distance between the persons carrying the measuring device 61 in which the wireless reception intensity equal to or higher than the set intensity is detected is within a predetermined distance (step S2). The communication amount calculation unit 108 determines, for example, that persons carrying the measuring device 61 in which the wireless reception intensity equal to or higher than the set intensity is close to each other.

  The communication amount calculation unit 108 calculates a period (total time) in which the distance between persons carrying the measuring device 61 in which the wireless reception intensity equal to or higher than the set intensity is detected is within a predetermined distance (the persons are close to each other). Calculate (step S3). The communication amount calculation unit 108, for example, has connection information in which the reception strength exceeds the set strength at 12:01:00, and continues to have connection information in which the reception strength exceeds the set strength even at 12: 1: 30. If communication information) is present, it is determined that communication has started at 12:01:00. After that, for example, when a plurality of connection information whose reception strength is lower than the set strength is generated, the communication amount calculation unit 108 determines that the communication is ended at the time when the connection information whose reception strength is lower than the set strength is generated for the first time. Alternatively, when the connection information whose reception strength is lower than the set strength is generated a plurality of times, it may be determined that the communication has been completed at the time of the third occurrence, for example.

  The communication amount calculation unit 108 subtracts a part of the calculated period (step S4). For example, the communication amount calculation unit 108 determines that the persons are close to each other when the persons are continuously close to 3 minutes. If it is, the time corresponding to the period of 2 minutes or less is subtracted from the calculated period.

  The communication amount calculation unit 108 selects information on the largest volume among a plurality of volume information measured during a predetermined period (several seconds) (step S5). The communication amount calculation unit 108 determines that the volume information of the highest volume is volume information corresponding to the time when the highest volume was measured.

  The communication amount calculation unit 108 determines voice data that is equal to or higher than the set volume from the volume data associated with each predetermined period (for example, 1, 2, or 3 minutes), and sets a flag (step S6). The reason why the set sound volume is provided is to remove noise. That is, the set volume is provided by removing volume data indicating the volume of noise and the like collected by the voice collection unit 67 when the person is not speaking from the total volume data collected by the voice collection unit 67. This is for accurately extracting only the volume of a person's conversation or the like.

  The communication amount calculation unit 108 determines that “each person was in a communication place” when the set flag appears more than the set frequency in 1, 2, or 3 minutes (step S7). The setting frequency refers to the rate at which a flag appears in 1, 2, or 3 minutes. As the setting frequency, for example, the rate at which the flag appears in 1, 2, or 3 minutes is set to several percent.

  The communication amount calculation unit 108 determines whether or not the period during which the distance between the persons is within the predetermined distance is longer than the predetermined period based on the received intensity information, and the communication amount calculation unit 108 determines that the distance between the persons is predetermined. When the period within the distance is longer than the predetermined period and the volume information of each of the plurality of persons is greater than or equal to the first reference value, it is determined that each person has communicated. For example, when the volume data of each person who is determined to be close based on the received intensity information is equal to or higher than a reference value (for example, 4% or more in 3 minutes), Is determined to have communicated "(step S8).

  The communication amount calculation unit 108 determines whether or not the period during which the distance between the persons is within the predetermined distance is longer than the predetermined period based on the received intensity information, and the communication amount calculation unit 108 determines that the distance between the persons is predetermined. When the period within the distance is equal to or shorter than the predetermined period and the volume information of at least one person is equal to or higher than the second reference value, it is determined that each person has communicated. The communication amount calculation unit 108 determines that the volume data of any person is greater than or equal to the reference value when the period of time when each person who is determined to be near is two minutes or less based on the received intensity information It is determined that “each person communicated” (step S9).

  The communication amount calculation unit 108 calculates the communication amount (step S10). The communication amount calculation unit 108 controls the calculated communication amount based on the light amount information (step S11). For example, during a period in which the measuring device 61 is carried in a bag or the like, the amount of light detected by the light detection unit 69 of the measuring device 61 is reduced compared to a period in which the measuring device 61 is carried and used by a person. That is, the communication amount calculation unit 108 determines that the period during which the detected light amount is reduced is a period in which communication between persons is not performed, and determines the communication amount corresponding to the period in which this communication is not performed, Excluded from the calculated amount of communication. The communication amount calculation unit 108 finally determines the communication amount after controlling the calculated communication amount as necessary (step S12).

[Image generation / display processing]
FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of image generation / image display processing according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the following steps will be described on the assumption that the steps have already been completed.
For example: Coaches and clients determine the contents of the questionnaire. 2. The coach sets identification information such as the ID, name, job title, affiliation, etc. of the questionnaire response target person, information on the terminal device 41 used by the questionnaire response target person, questionnaire delivery time, contents of the questionnaire delivery mail, etc. To do. The set information is recorded / held in the information recording unit 102. 3. A questionnaire response target person (for example, several tens of people) accesses the questionnaire response screen using the ID and password based on the instruction of the questionnaire distribution mail, and answers the questionnaire from the questionnaire response screen. 4). The information recording unit 102 records the questionnaire response result as questionnaire information 102D in association with the identification information (person identification information 102A) of the questionnaire response target person.

  As shown in FIG. 10, first, the questionnaire information analysis unit 110 analyzes a questionnaire result, that is, communication status information indicating a communication status between persons. (Step S21). The questionnaire information analysis unit 110 performs statistical analysis using, for example, frequency analysis or cluster analysis.

  The questionnaire information analysis unit 110 calculates the group configuration of a plurality of persons in the organization, the degree of membership of each person in each group, the importance of each person, the connection (relevance) between the persons necessary for the organization, and the like ( Step S22). Regarding the degree of membership of each person in each group, for example, if the person E is actively communicating with the person F existing in the group Z, the person E is said to have a high degree of belonging to the group Z. It will be. For example, if the person E is not actively communicating with the person G existing in the group Y as compared with the person F existing in the group Z, the person E moves to the group Y. The degree of affiliation is low.

  The image display mode determination unit 112 determines the arrangement and display mode of persons in the display image (step S23). The image display mode determination unit 112 determines the arrangement of persons in the feedback image generated by the image generation unit 114 based on, for example, the degree of membership of each person in each group. In addition, the image display mode determination unit 112 uses the information indicating the actual cooperation status or the information indicating the future cooperation status, for example, based on the questionnaire result, to bring the persons who are determined to be strongly connected closer together. The arrangement of the person is determined so as to be arranged.

  The information recording unit 102 records and holds the analysis result of the questionnaire information analysis unit 110 and the communication amount in association with each other by using the person identification information 102A. For example, the information recording unit 102 may record and hold the questionnaire result and the information determined by the image display mode determination unit 112 in addition to the analysis result and the communication amount of the questionnaire information analysis unit 110 in association with each other. Step S24).

  The image generation unit 114 generates a display image (step S25). In the image generation unit 114, the display image is illustrated by a point representing each target person and a line formed between the target persons and whose form such as thickness and length changes according to the amount of communication. Embodiments to include. In addition, the form of the display image may be changed based on information such as the importance level, title, department, etc. of the person.
