Accordingly, the image of the rice cooker is drawn as the device image 13a in the result display image 13A, the image of the electric water heater is drawn as the device image 13a in the result display image 13B, and the device is displayed in the result display image 13C. An image of the dishwasher is drawn as the image 13a.

  In FIG. 3, information on the consumed utility consumption is displayed on the total fee display unit 13b in the form of a total utility fee. That is, the arithmetic control unit 3 refers to the power unit price, the gas unit price, and the water unit price stored in the storage unit 4, and the electric charge (the power consumption amount stored in the storage unit) in each utility consumer device 1. Product of the unit price of electricity and the unit price of electricity) and gas rate (product of the amount of gas consumed and the unit price of gas stored in the storage means) and water rate (product of the amount of water consumed and the unit price of water stored in the storage unit) From the above, the total utility fee per unit time or every fixed period can be derived.

  In addition, a time zone designation bar 14 is displayed on the display screen shown in FIG. The time zone designation bar 14 is configured to accept an input of a time zone from a user of the information display system. For example, the user of the information display system selects the time zone designation bar 14 with the cursor of the mouse (input reception means 5) displayed on the screen, or the touch panel (input reception means 5) on the screen. By selecting the time zone designation bar 14 by touching it with a finger or a pen and moving the time zone designation bar 14 left and right on the screen, an operation input for changing the displayed time zone can be performed. . Further, when the user performs such an operation input, the input receiving unit 5 receives the time zone displayed on the screen after the change as “designation of a predetermined past time zone”. In addition, when an operation input is performed to extend the time zone designation bar 14 to the left and right with two fingers, for example, the displayed time zone is enlarged and displayed, and the time zone of 3 hours is initially displayed. It is possible to perform an operation input for changing the time zone, such as displaying the time zone of 2 hours. In this way, the user of the information display system can display information on the utility consumption amount of one or more utility consumer devices 1 in the past predetermined time period on the display means 6 in association with the time information.

  In the display screen shown in FIG. 3, information on the consumed utility consumption is displayed on the total fee display unit 13b in the form of the total utility fee, but the breakdown of the total utility fee, that is, the total utility The electricity rate, gas rate, and water rate that make up the rate are unknown. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the selection input for the result display image 13 shown in FIG. 3 is performed, the result display image 13 shown in FIG. 4 is displayed.

  For example, the user of the information display system selects the result display image 13C (that is, the simplified display of the total utility fee) shown in FIG. 3 with the cursor of the mouse (input receiving means 5) displayed on the screen. Alternatively, it is assumed that the result display image 13C shown in FIG. 3 is selected by touching the touch panel (input receiving means 5) on the screen with a finger or a pen. At this time, the arithmetic control means 3 accepts the selection input as a change command from the simplified display of the total utility fee to the detailed display. Then, the calculation control means 3 uses the electricity rate (product of the amount of power consumption and the unit price of electricity), the gas rate (product of the amount of consumption gas and the unit price of gas) and the water rate (the amount of water consumption) as the basis for deriving the total utility fee. Product of water and unit price of water) is recalculated or read out from the storage means 4 and displayed on the display means 6 as shown in FIG. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the electricity charge when using the dishwasher as the utility consumer device 1 is displayed on the electricity charge display section 13c, the gas charge is displayed on the gas charge display section 13d, The water charge is displayed on the water charge display part 13e.

  Next, [A: When the storage command includes the designation of the device group and information about the time zone in which the device group is used], [B: The storage command is the designation of the device group and the user who uses the device group. Including the designation and designation of the time zone in which the device group is used], [C: designation of any one of a plurality of types of actions and designation of a time zone in which one action is performed. [When the storage command includes designation of any one of a plurality of actions, designation of a user who performs one action, and designation of a time zone during which one action is performed] Each of these will be described.

[A: When the storage command includes designation of a device group and information on a time zone in which the device group is used]
When the storage command includes the designation of the device group and the information regarding the time zone in which the device group is used, the arithmetic control unit 3 causes the storage unit 4 to store the one or more utility consumer devices 1 constituting the device group in the time zone. Information about the consumed utility consumption is stored in association with time information and information about which utility consuming device 1 the device group comprises.

  When such storage is performed, the utility consumption stored in the storage means 4 is generated by using which device group (that is, which utility consuming device 1). And at which time zone the utility consumption occurred is stored together.

  For example, when the lighting device and the dishwasher are designated by the device group designation button 15 and from 19:00 to 20:00 is designated by the time zone designation button 18, the arithmetic control means 3 is designated by the storage means 4. Information about utility consumption consumed in the time zone of 19:00 to 20:00 in the equipment group of lighting equipment and dishwasher is associated with time information and information that the equipment group is composed of lighting equipment and dishwasher Remember. Alternatively, when the lighting device and the current are specified by the device group specifying button 15 and from 19:00 to 20:00 are specified by the time zone specifying button 18, the arithmetic control unit 3 is specified in the storage unit 4. Information on utility consumption consumed in the time zone of 19:00 to 20:00 in the device group of lighting devices and curans is stored in association with time information and information that the device group is composed of lighting devices and curans.

  In other words, the former remembers utility consumption when using a dishwasher while using lighting equipment, and the latter does not use a dishwasher while using lighting equipment. This means that the utility consumption when the dishes are washed using hot water discharged from Karan is stored. As a result, comparing the two, the utility consumption when using a dishwasher and a dishwasher while using lighting equipment, and the dishwashing using hot water discharged from Karan while using the lighting equipment It becomes possible to know the size of the utility consumption when performing.

[B: When the memory command includes designation of a device group, designation of a user who uses the device group, and designation of a time zone in which the device group is used]
When the storage command receives the storage command including the specification of the device group, the specification of the user who uses the device group, and the specification of the time zone in which the device group is used, the arithmetic control unit 3 stores the device group in the storage device 4. The information about the utility consumption consumed in the time zone by one or more utility consumer devices 1 constituting the user is stored in association with the user and time information and the information about which utility consumer device 1 the device group comprises. Let

  When such storage is performed, the utility consumption stored in the storage means 4 is generated by using which device group (that is, which utility consuming device 1). And which user has used the device group, and at which time zone the utility consumption has occurred are stored together.

  For example, when the lighting device and curan are designated by the device group designation button 15, the person A is designated by the user designation button 16, and 19:00 to 20:00 is designated by the time zone designation button 18, the arithmetic control means 3 The storage means 4 stores information on utility consumption consumed by the person A in the time zone of 19:00 to 20:00 in the designated lighting device and device group called Karan, and the user, time information and device group. The information is stored in association with the information that the lighting device and the currant are configured. Alternatively, the lighting control unit 3 is designated by the device group designation button 15, the person B is designated by the user designation button 16, and 19:00 to 20:00 is designated by the time zone designation button 18. The storage means 4 stores information on utility consumption consumed by the person B in the time zone of 19:00 to 20:00 in the designated lighting device and device group called Karan, and the user, time information and device group. The information is stored in association with the information that the lighting device and the currant are configured.

  In other words, the former stores the utility consumption when the person A uses the lighting equipment and performs the dishwashing using the hot water discharged from the currant, and the latter uses the lighting equipment. However, the utility consumption when the dishes are washed using hot water discharged from the currant is stored. As a result, if both are compared, it is possible to know the magnitude of the utility consumption when the person A performs the dishwashing and the utility consumption when the person B performs the dishwashing.

[C: When the memory command includes designation of any one of a plurality of kinds of actions and designation of a time zone for performing one action]
The memory | storage means 4 has memorize | stored the correspondence between the multiple types of action which a user performs, and the utility consumption apparatus 1 used in each of the said multiple types of action. For example, if the action is “dishwashing,” the dishwasher is operated with the lighting equipment turned on, or the dishwashing is performed using hot water discharged from the currant while the lighting equipment is turned on. There is. Therefore, the memory | storage means 4 has matched and memorize | stored the action called "dishwashing", for example, the utility consumption apparatus 1 called lighting equipment, a dishwasher, and a currant.
In addition, in the case of the action of “water heater”, there are a case where the electric water heater is operated with the lighting device turned on, and a case where the water heater is heated by heating with a stove while the lighting device is turned on. Therefore, the memory | storage means 4 has matched and memorize | stored the action of "water heater", for example, the utility consumption apparatus 1 called lighting equipment, an electric water heater, and a stove.
In addition, in the case of the action “rice cooking”, there are a case where the rice cooker is operated in a state where the lighting device is turned on, and a case where rice is cooked by heating with a stove while the lighting device is turned on. Therefore, the memory | storage means 4 has matched and memorize | stored the action called "rice cooking", for example, the utility consumption equipment 1 called lighting equipment, a rice cooker, and a stove.

  The arithmetic control unit 3 stores the above-mentioned information stored in the storage unit 4 when the storage command includes designation of any one of a plurality of types of actions and designation of a time zone for performing one action. The utility consuming device 1 that can be used in one action is specified based on the correspondence relationship as described above, and information on the utility consumption consumed in the time zone by the specified utility consuming device 1 is stored in the storage unit 4. It is stored in association with time information.

  When such storage is performed, the utility consumption amount stored in the storage means 4 indicates which action caused the utility consumption amount, and at what time period the utility consumption amount occurred. It is also memorized whether it is a thing.

  For example, when “dishwashing” is designated by the action designation button 17 and from 19:00 to 20:00 is designated by the time zone designation button 18, the arithmetic control means 3 is based on the correspondence stored in the storage means 4. The utility consuming equipment 1 (lighting equipment, dishwasher / dryer, curan) that can be used in the action of “dishwashing” is specified, and the storage unit 4 stores the specified lighting equipment, dishwasher / dryer, caran at 19:00. Information about the utility consumption consumed at 20:00 is stored in association with time information. Here, there are a case where the user operates the action designation button 17 and designates “dishwashing”, and then uses the lighting device and the dishwasher or uses the lighting device and curan.

[D: When the memory command includes designation of any one of a plurality of types of actions, designation of a user who performs one action, and designation of a time zone for performing one action]
As described above, the storage unit 4 stores a correspondence relationship between a plurality of types of actions performed by the user and the utility consumer device 1 used in each of the plurality of types of actions. When the storage command includes designation of any one of a plurality of types of actions, designation of a user who performs one action, and designation of a time zone for performing one action. The utility consuming device 1 that can be used in one action based on the correspondence stored in the storage unit 4 is specified, and the utility consumed in the time zone by the specified utility consuming device 1 is stored in the storage unit 4. Information about consumption is stored in association with user and time information.

  When such storage is performed, the utility consumption amount stored in the storage unit 4 includes the action that caused the utility consumption amount, the user that performed the action, and The time period during which the utility consumption is generated is also stored.

  For example, when “dishwashing” is designated by the action designation button 17, “person A” is designated by the user designation button 16, and from 19:00 to 20:00 is designated by the time zone designation button 18, the arithmetic control means 3 The utility consuming equipment 1 (lighting equipment, dishwasher, caran) that can be used in the action of “dishwashing” is specified based on the correspondence relationship stored in the storage means 4 and the storage means 4 specifies the identification. The information about the utility consumption consumed from 19:00 to 20:00 by the lighting equipment, the dishwasher, and the curan is stored in association with the “person A” and the time information. Alternatively, when “washing” is designated by the action designation button 17, “person B” is designated by the user designation button 16, and from 19:00 to 20:00 is designated by the time zone designation button 18, the arithmetic control means 3 The utility consuming equipment 1 (lighting equipment, dishwasher, caran) that can be used in the action of “dishwashing” is specified based on the correspondence relationship stored in the storage means 4 and the storage means 4 specifies the identification. The information about the utility consumption consumed by the lighting equipment, the dishwasher, and the curan from 19:00 to 20:00 is stored in association with the “person B” and the time information.

  That is, the former stores the utility consumption when the person A performs the dishwashing, and the latter stores the utility consumption when the person B performs the dishwashing. As a result, if both are compared, it is possible to know the magnitude of the utility consumption when the person A performs the dishwashing and the utility consumption when the person B performs the dishwashing.

As described above, the utility consumption amount by the utility consumer device 1 is stored in the storage unit 4 in accordance with the storage command from the user of the information display system.
Further, an intermediate progress display section 19 is also set on the display screen of FIG. The intermediate progress display section 19 is an area for displaying the intermediate progress of information related to the utility consumption amount during the progress of the utility consumption storage process. Specifically, the arithmetic control unit 3 starts the utility consumption amount storage process of the utility consumer device 1 to be stored and proceeds to the utility consumer device 1 to be stored via the monitoring unit 2. The utility consumption value is acquired, and the utility consumption value is converted into a utility fee. For example, in FIG. 5, the electricity charge display unit 19b displays the progress of the electricity charge (the product of the electricity consumption amount and the power unit price), and the gas charge display unit 19c displays the gas charge progress (consumption). The product of the middle course of the gas amount and the unit price of gas) is displayed, and the middle part of the water rate (the product of the middle course of water consumption and the unit price of water) is displayed on the water rate display unit 19d, and the total rate display unit 19a Shows the progress of the total utility fee.

  Next, a case where a display command is received in a state where the above storage is performed will be described. As display modes, [E: Extracted and displayed by time zone and device group], [F: Extracted and displayed by time zone and action], [G: Extracted by time zone, device group and user] Display], [H: extracted and displayed by time zone, action, and user].

Similar to the first embodiment, this display screen is displayed according to the display command illustrated in FIG. 2 (that is, selection input to the measurement result display button 12). For example, FIG. 6 is an initial screen displayed on the display means 6 when the measurement result display button 12 is selected and input at 23:00 on February 3. In this case, measurement results for the past 3 hours from the current date and time (22:00 on February 2) are displayed as an initial screen.

In the initial display screen illustrated in FIG. 6, information about utility consumption consumed by one or more utility consuming devices 1 in the time zone of the past 3 hours from the current date and time is displayed as an initial value in association with time information. Yes. Specifically, information (utility fee) related to the utility consumption for each utility consumer device 1 is displayed as a result display image 13 (13D to 13F). The result display image 13D shows information on the total utility consumption in the lighting device and the curan, the result display image 13E shows information on the utility consumption in the shower, and the result display image 13F shows information on the utility consumption in the shower. Show. Therefore, in the result display image 13D, an image of a lighting device and a currant is drawn as the device image 13a, a shower image is drawn as the device image 13a in the result display image 13E, and the device display is displayed in the result display image 13F.

<Another embodiment>
<1>
In the above-described embodiment, the utility consumer devices and behaviors constituting the device group have been described with specific examples. However, the utility consumer devices and behaviors are not limited to those described above. For example, “air conditioning” or “cooking” may be set as the action. Moreover, various apparatuses, such as a fan heater, a floor heating apparatus, an air conditioner, and a kotatsu, can be set as utility consuming apparatuses.

<2>
In the above embodiment, specific examples of various buttons (device group designation button 15, user designation button 16, action designation button 17, time zone designation button 18, time zone designation bar 14, etc.) constituting the input receiving means 5. Although illustrated, these buttons are described for illustrative purposes and can be changed as appropriate.

<3>
In the above embodiment, when a device group is specified, the arithmetic control unit 3 may derive which action the device group corresponds to. For example, when the lighting device and the curan are specified as the device group in the storage command and the display command described above, the arithmetic control unit 3 may derive that the device group is “dishwashing”. As a result, although the action of “dishwashing” is not explicitly specified by the user, it is assumed that the operation control means 3 is specified as the action of “dishwashing”. Information storage processing and information display processing related to utility consumption can be performed.

<4>
In the above-described embodiment, when a past predetermined time zone is designated in the display command, the time zone designated for display may not match the time zone in which the utility consumer device is actually used. For example, when a display command for utility consumption during dishwashing between 20:00 and 21:00 is performed, information regarding utility consumption during dishwashing during that time period will be displayed. Dishwashing (ie utility consumption) may be ongoing. In that case, the displayed utility consumption may not accurately reflect the actual utility consumption in a series of dishwashing actions.

  Therefore, when the arithmetic control unit 3 stores the utility consumption amount of the utility consuming device 1 in the storage unit 4, the utility consumption information obtained by the monitoring unit 2 is analyzed, and the utility consumption amount of each utility consuming device 1 is analyzed. A modification may be made such that the consumption start point and the consumption end point are determined, and the utility consumption amount from the consumption start point to the consumption end point is stored in the storage unit 4 as a group of data. Then, when the calculation control means 3 displays the utility consumption of the utility consumer device 1 on the display means 6 in accordance with the display command, the calculation control means 3 includes a group of utility consumption data included in the time zone specified in the display command. Information about the displayed utility consumption is included from the utility consumption start time to the utility consumption end time. For example, in the above-described example, the calculation control means 3 does not display information on the utility consumption in the dishwashing between 20:00 and 22:00, even if a display command for the utility consumption in the dishwashing between 20:00 and 21:00 is issued. Display is performed (that is, the display time zone is expanded).

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be used for an information display system that can extract and display information on utility consumption that a user wants to know from information on a large amount of utility consumption.
