Description

本発明は、制御対象機器の動作と外部要因とを組み合わせることで、制御対象機器の動作根拠を導き出す情報確認システムに関する。 The present invention relates to an information confirmation system for deriving an operation basis of a control target device by combining the operation of the control target device and an external factor.

図４を用いて、特許文献１に開示された自動販売機管理システムについて説明する。図４において、５００は自動販売機、５０１は自動販売機通信処理部、５０２は携帯端末、０３は端末通信処理部を示す。自動販売機５００の売上の確認や商品の補充を行う人であるルートマンが商品を補充する時点よりも前の時点と商品を補充する時点との双方で売上確認を行うように帯端末５０２を操作することで、自動販売機通信処理部５０１が自動販売機５００の商品の売上情報や商品の補充情報を自動販売機通信処理部５０１から受信し、自動販売機２００の商品を補充する時点よりも前の時点での売上情報と商品の補充時の売上情報との差分を演算して携帯端末５０２の図示のされない表示部に表示する。この表示部に表示された差分をルートマンが確認することで、商品の不足分を把握して確認でき商品の補充を行える。 The vending machine management system disclosed in Patent Document 1 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 4, 500 indicates a vending machine, 501 indicates a vending machine communication processing unit, 502 indicates a portable terminal, and 03 indicates a terminal communication processing unit. The band terminal 502 is checked so that the confirmation of sales of the vending machine 500 and the replenishment of the product can be performed both at the time prior to the time of replenishment of the product by the root man, and at the time of replenishment of the product. From the point of time when the vending machine communication processing unit 501 receives sales information and goods replenishment information of the goods of the vending machine 500 from the vending machine communication processing part 501 by operating and the goods of the vending machine 200 are replenished. The difference between the sales information at the previous time point and the sales information at the time of product replenishment is calculated and displayed on a display unit (not shown) of the portable terminal 502. When the rootman confirms the difference displayed on the display unit, the shortage of the product can be grasped and confirmed, and the product can be replenished.

しかしながら、特許文献１に記載された自動販売機管理システムでは自動販売機２００の売上情報に対する根拠を把握することができない。例えば、自動販売機２００の一昨日の売上金額が５万円、昨日の売上金額が１５万円、本日の売上金額が４万円であったとしたとした場合において、一昨日から本日までの売上金額の変動は把握することはできるが、その変動の発生した根拠を把握することができない。よって、売上金額の多くなる日に間に合うように売上金額の多い商品の補充量を多くし、売上金額の少ない日に間に合うように売上金額の少ない商品の補充量を減らすというように対処することが困難であった。 However, the vending machine management system described in Patent Document 1 can not grasp the basis for the sales information of the vending machine 200. For example, assuming that the sales amount of one day yesterday of vending machine 200 is 50,000 yen, the sales amount of yesterday is 150,000 yen, and the sales amount of today is 40,000 yen, the sales amount from the day before yesterday to today is Although the change can be grasped, it is not possible to grasp the basis for the occurrence of the fluctuation. Therefore, it is possible to take measures such as increasing the replenishment amount of products with high sales amount in time for the increase in sales amount and reducing the replenishment amount of products with low sales amount in the day of low sales amount. It was difficult.

In addition, the correlation between the operation information of the washing machine 6, the SNS information 18, the event information 19, and the weather information 20 is analyzed, and the analysis results are transmitted to the information use company 22 through the Internet 21. For example, when the sales information 5 is the number of juice sales and the weather information 20 is the temperature of the installation place of the vending machine 2 as the correlation between the sales information 5, the SNS information 18, the event information 19 and the weather information 20 If the number of juices sold yesterday was 50, the temperature was 25 ° C, the number of juices sold yesterday was 80, the temperature 32 ° C, and the number of juice sold today was 54, the temperature was 27 ° C. As a correlation of the number of juice sales and the number of juices, the information collecting apparatus 16 analyzes that the juice is sold on a high temperature day.

また、情報収集装置１６が自動販売機２の設置場所周辺で行われるイベント情報１９と自動販売機２でのジュースの販売数との相関関係としてイベントの開催日のジュースの販売数が８０本、イベントの開催されない日のジュースの販売数が４０本であったとすると、イベントの開催日とジュースの販売数との相関関係として、イベントの開催日はジュースが売れると、情報収集装置１６が解析する。 In addition, the number of juice sales on the day of the event is 80, as the correlation between the event information 19 performed around the installation site of the vending machine 2 and the number of juices sold at the vending machine 2 by the information collecting device 16 Assuming that the number of juice sales on the day when the event is not held is 40, the information collection device 16 analyzes that the date of the event sells juice as the correlation between the date of the event and the number of juice sales. .

また、情報収集装置１６が自動販売機２の設置場所周辺でのＳＮＳ情報１８の発信件数と自動販売機２でのジュースの販売数との相関関係として、ＳＮＳ情報１８の発信件数が第１の所定数以上、例えば５０件以上である場合のジュースの販売数が７０本、ＳＮＳ情報１８の発信件数が第２の所定数以下、例えば２０件以下である場合のジュースの販売数が３０本であったとすると、ＳＮＳ情報１８の発信件数とジュースの販売数の相関関係として、ＳＮＳの発信件数が多いとジュースが売れると、情報収集装置１６が解析する。 Further, as the correlation between the number of transmissions of SNS information 18 around the installation location of the vending machine 2 and the number of sales of juice at the vending machine 2, the number of transmissions of the SNS information 18 is the first. For example, if the number of juice sales is 70 if the number is more than a predetermined number, for example, 50 or more, the number of juice sales is 30 if the number of transmissions of the SNS information 18 is less than a second predetermined number, for example, 20 or less Assuming that there is a correlation between the number of transmissions of the SNS information 18 and the number of sales of juice, the information collecting apparatus 16 analyzes that the juice is sold if the number of transmissions of the SNS is large.

また、情報収集装置１６は動作情報９とＳＮＳ情報１８、イベント情報１９、気象情報２０の相関関係として、例えば、動作情報９が衣料の洗濯量で、気象情報２０が洗濯機６の設置場所の気温とした場合において、一昨日の洗濯量が４Ｋｇで気温が２４℃、昨日の洗濯量が８Ｋｇで気温が３２℃、本日の洗濯量が５Ｋｇで気温が２７度であったとすると、気温と洗濯量の相関関係として、気温が高い日は洗濯の量が多いと、情報収集装置１６が解析する。 Further, as the correlation between the operation information 9, the SNS information 18, the event information 19, and the weather information 20, the information collecting device 16 has, for example, the operation information 9 at the laundry load and the weather information 20 at the installation place of the washing machine 6. Assuming that the amount of laundry the day before yesterday was 4 kg, the temperature was 24 ° C, the amount of laundry yesterday was 8 kg and the temperature was 32 ° C, the amount of laundry today was 5 kg and the temperature was 27 ° C. As a correlation of the above, when the temperature is high, the information collecting apparatus 16 analyzes that the amount of washing is large.

また、情報収集装置１６が洗濯機６の設置場所周辺で行われる運動会やスポーツ等のイベント情報１９と洗濯機６の洗濯量との相関関係として運動会やスポーツ等のイベントの開催日の洗濯量が９Ｋｇ、運動会やスポーツ等のイベントの開催されない日の洗濯量が４Ｋｇであったとすると、運動会やスポーツ等のイベントの開催日と洗濯量との相関関係として、運動会やスポーツイ等のベントの開催日は洗濯量が多いと、情報収集装置１６が解析する。 In addition, the amount of laundry on the day of an event such as an athletic event or sports as a correlation between the event information 19 such as an athletic event or sport performed around the installation location of the washing machine 6 and the laundry amount of the washing machine 6 Assuming that 9Kg and 4Kg of laundry is not held on events such as athletic meet and sports, as a correlation between the date of the event such as athletic meet and sports and the amount of laundry, the date of events such as athletic meet and sports When the amount of laundry is large, the information collection device 16 analyzes.

また、情報収集装置１６が洗濯機６の設置場所周辺での洗濯機６で洗濯できる衣類のＳＮＳ情報１８の発信件数と洗濯機６での洗濯量との相関関係として、洗濯できる衣類のＳＮＳ情報１８の発信件数が外１の所定数以上、例えば４０件以上である場合の洗濯量が７０Ｋｇ、洗濯できる衣類のＳＮＳ情報１８の発信件数が第２の所定数以下、例えば１０件以下である場合の洗濯量が３Ｋｇであったとすると、ＳＮＳ情報１８の発信件数と洗濯量との相関関係として、ＳＮＳ情報１８の発信件数が多いと洗濯量が多いと、情報収集装置１６が解析する。 In addition, the SNS information of clothes that can be washed as the correlation between the transmission count of the SNS information 18 of the clothes that can be washed by the washing machine 6 around the installation location of the washing machine 6 and the washing amount at the washing machine 6 If the number of calls sent is 18 or more, for example, 40 or more, the amount of laundry is 70 kg, and the number of sent SNS information 18 of clothes that can be washed is less than or equal to a second predetermined number, for example, 10 or less Assuming that the amount of laundry is 3 Kg, the information collection device 16 analyzes the correlation between the number of transmissions of the SNS information 18 and the amount of laundry if the number of transmissions of the SNS information 18 is large and the amount of laundry is large.

上記のように、情報収集装置１６は、販売情報５または動作情報９と外部要因１７としてのＳＮＳ情報１８またはイベント情報１９または気象情報２０との相関関係を解析し、その解析結果をインターネット２１を介して情報利用会社２２の情報収集装置１６に送信する入力する。これにより、情報利用会社２２は、情報利用機２３に入力された販売情報５または動作情報９と外部要因１７としてのＳＮＳ情報１８またはイベント情報１９または気象情報２０との相関関係から、情報利用会社２２が情報収集装置１６での自動販売機２の動作と外部要因とを組み合わせることで自動販売機２の動作根拠を把握することができる。 As described above, the information collecting apparatus 16 analyzes the correlation between the sales information 5 or the operation information 9 and the SNS information 18 or the event information 19 or the weather information 20 as the external factor 17 and analyzes the analysis result on the Internet 21. It transmits to the information gathering apparatus 16 of the information utilizing company 22 via the input. Thereby, the information using company 22 can use the information using company from the correlation between the sales information 5 or the operation information 9 input to the information using machine 23 and the SNS information 18 or the event information 19 or the weather information 20 as the external factor 17. The operation basis of the vending machine 2 can be grasped by combining the operation of the vending machine 2 in the information collecting apparatus 16 with an external factor.

例えば、気温が高いとジュースの売れる本数が多いという解析結果から、気温が高いと予想される日には自動販売機２に補充するジュースの本数を多くする。また、自動販売機２の周辺でイベント情報１９によるイベントの開催がある日はジュースが売れるという解析結果から、イベントの開催日には自動販売機２に補充するジュースの本数を多くする。また、ＳＮＳ情報１８の発信件数が第１の所定数以上のときはジュースが売れるという解析結果から、ＳＮＳ情報１８の発信件数が第１の所定数以上のときは自動販売機２に補充するジュースの本数を多くするというように、情報利用会社２２が情報収集装置１６での自動販売機２の動作と外部要因とを組み合わせることで自動販売機２の動作根拠を把握することができる。 For example, from the analysis result that the number of juices sold is large when the temperature is high, the number of juices replenished to the vending machine 2 is increased on the day when the temperature is expected to be high. Further, from the analysis result that juice is sold on the day when the event is held by the event information 19 around the vending machine 2, the number of juices to be replenished to the vending machine 2 is increased on the day of the event. Further, from the analysis result that the juice is sold when the number of transmissions of the SNS information 18 is the first predetermined number or more, the juice to be replenished to the vending machine 2 when the number of transmissions of the SNS information 18 is the first predetermined number or more The information utilization company 22 can grasp the operation basis of the vending machine 2 by combining the operation of the vending machine 2 in the information collecting apparatus 16 and the external factor, as in the case of increasing the number.

また、例えば、気温が高いと洗濯量が多くなるという解析結果から、気温が高いと予想される日には、洗剤等の洗濯用品を販売する店舗に陳列する洗濯用品数を多くする。また、洗濯機６の周辺でのイベント情報１９による運動会やスポーツ等のイベントの開催がある日は洗濯量が多いという解析結果から、運動会やスポーツ等のイベントの開催日には、洗剤等の洗濯用品を販売する店舗に陳列する洗濯用品数を多くする。また、ＳＮＳ情報１８の発信件数が第１の所定数以上のときは洗濯量が多いという解析結果から、ＳＮＳ情報１８の発信件数が第１の所定数以上のときは、洗剤等の洗濯用品を販売する店舗に陳列する洗濯用品数を多くするというように、情報利用会社２２が情報収集装置１６での洗濯機６の動作と外部要因とを組み合わせることで洗濯機６の動作根拠を把握することができる。 Also, for example, from the analysis result that the washing amount increases when the temperature is high, the number of laundry items to be displayed at a store that sells laundry items such as detergent is increased on the day when the temperature is expected to be high. In addition, from the analysis result that there is a large amount of laundry on the day when there is an event such as an athletic event or sports held by the event information 19 around the washing machine 6, laundry such as detergent is performed on the day of athletic events or events such as sports Increase the number of laundry items to be displayed at stores selling items. Also, from the analysis result that the washing amount is large when the number of transmissions of the SNS information 18 is the first predetermined number or more, when the number of transmissions of the SNS information 18 is the first predetermined number or more, laundry items such as detergents The information utilization company 22 grasps the operation basis of the washing machine 6 by combining the operation of the washing machine 6 in the information collecting apparatus 16 with the external factor such as increasing the number of washing items displayed in the store to be sold Can.
