Each part of the garbage carrying-in support device 10 will be described in further detail. Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, the term "client" means a user who has requested another user to collect garbage, and the term "user" means a person other than the aforementioned client.

The storage unit 18 stores the user information of the garbage drop-in place and the garbage drop-off place information. Identification information and position information are associated with each garbage drop-in area in the garbage drop-off area information. The identification information of the garbage pick-up area is not particularly limited as long as each of the plurality of garbage pick-up areas can be identified. The location information of the garbage drop-in area is not particularly limited, and may be any information that can specify the location, such as an address, coordinates, GPS information, and the like. For example, when the user brings in the garbage to the garbage collection area, the reader installed at the garbage collection area reads NFC (Near Field Communication), QR code (registered (trademark), etc., the brought-in history information can be stored in the storage unit 18 .

The user information is associated with identification information, residence position information, and carry-in history information for each user. The identification information is not particularly limited as long as it can identify a plurality of users, and includes, for example, an ID such as an identification number, a name, and the like. The location information of the residence is not particularly limited, and may be any information that can identify the location, such as an address, coordinates, GPS information, and the like. The bring-in history information is associated with the identification information of the bring-in garbage place and the date and time of bring-in. As described above, the date and time may be, for example, only the date, in addition to it, may include a time zone division such as morning, may include a time zone division such as 8:00 to 12:00, or 10:00 It may also include actual time, such as 30 minutes. For example, the bring-in history information may be stored in the storage unit 18 each time each user uses the place for bringing in trash, or may be stored in a server. Information may be acquired from the server via a line network and stored in the storage unit 18 . The user information may include, for example, an e-mail address, a short message address, etc. from the point of view of information transmission and reception between the garbage bringing-in support device 10 and the user.

When a user wants to request another user to collect garbage, the user transmits a collection request to the garbage bringing-in support device 10 from his own terminal, for example. For example, as shown in FIG. receive the request information of In this way, when the garbage bringing-in support device 10 acquires the request information, the collection candidate selection unit 11 selects the location information of the residence linked to the requester's identification information, The position information and the position information of the user's residence where the bring-in history information of the carry-in is stored are extracted.

Next, the collection candidate selection unit 11 determines the distance (D 0 ) from the user's residence to the garbage delivery place, and the distance (D ₀ ) from the user's residence to the client's residence for each garbage delivery place. Calculate the distance (D ₁ ) to the garbage drop-in area via the above, and place users whose difference between the distance (D ₁ ) and the distance (D ₀ ) is equal to or less than a threshold at the residence of the client Stop by and select as a pick-up candidate that can be moved to the garbage drop-off point.

The difference between the distance (D ₁ ) and the distance (D ₀ ) indicates the degree of detour when the user stops at the client's residence. The threshold is not particularly limited and can be set arbitrarily. The threshold may be, for example, the distance itself or a ratio to the distance (D ₀ ).

In the collection candidate selection unit 11, the garbage collection site from which the position information is extracted may be, for example, the garbage collection site included in the actually used collection history information, or the garbage collection site that has never been used. It may be a carry-on area, or it may include both. For example, regardless of the number of times of bringing-in, the garbage-taking-in sites included in the aforementioned history information of bringing-in may be subject to extraction, or a place where the number of times of bringing-in is relatively large may be subject to extraction. Considering, for example, the case where the unusable garbage pick-up area cannot be used due to distance, , may be selected.

When calculating the distance (D ₁ ) and the distance (D ₀ ), the collection candidate selection unit 11 selects, for example, a collection place where the distance from the user's residence to the garbage collection place is equal to or less than a threshold value. , the distance (D ₁ ) and the distance (D ₀ ) may be calculated. The threshold can be set for each user, for example, and can be set so as to exclude distant garbage collection points that are not considered to be actually used by the user. In addition, the collection candidate selection unit 11 calculates, for each user, the distance (D ₁ ) and the distance (D ₀ ) with respect to the garbage collection site where the user brought in the garbage included in the collection history information of the user. You may

The candidate date and time setting unit 12 sets the date and time when there is a possibility of carrying-in as the candidate date and time for drop-in collection from the collection candidate's bringing-in history information. In this way, based on the bringing-in history information, it is possible to extract the regularity of each user's bringing-in of garbage. can be done. The number of candidate dates and times is not particularly limited, and may be one or two or more. For example, two or more is preferable in order to increase the probability of collection.

The candidate date and time output unit 13 outputs the set candidate date and time. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. Submit a suggested date and time.

When receiving the candidate dates and times from the garbage-carrying-in support device 10 , the requester selects a desired candidate date-time and transmits the selection result to the garbage-carrying-in support device 10 . Then, when receiving the selection result of the requester regarding the set candidate date and time, the refuse bringing-in support device 10 determines the selected candidate date and time as the desired collection date and time in the desired collection date determining unit 14 . If the result of selection regarding the set candidate date and time is not obtained, and a result indicating that there is no desired date and time is obtained from the requester, the desired collection date determination unit 14 determines that collection at the set candidate date and time is not possible.

The desired collection information output unit 15 outputs the determined desired collection date and time and the location information of the client's residence as desired collection information. The collection request information is output to the terminal of the collection candidate via the communication line network, for example.

When the collection candidate receives the collection request information from the garbage carry-in support device 10, if there is a desired collection date and time that can be collected, the collection candidate selects it, and sends the selection result to the garbage carry-in support device 10. to send. Then, when the garbage bringing-in support device 10 acquires the selection result of one of the collection candidates related to the collection request information, the collection determination unit 16 determines the selected collection candidate as the collection person. Further, if the collection determination unit 16 does not acquire the selection result of the collection candidate related to the collection request information within a predetermined period of time from the output of the collection request information, the collection determination unit 16 determines that collection is not possible.

The collection confirmation output unit 17 outputs the desired collection date and time of the collection request information selected by the determined collection person and the identification information of the collection person as collection confirmation information. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. Send confirmation information.

If it is determined that collection is not possible, for example, the result may be output to the requester's terminal, and the candidate date and time may be set again.

For example, the garbage bringing-in support method of the present invention uses the storage unit as described above, and includes the collection candidate selection step, the candidate date and time setting step, the candidate date and time output step, the desired collection date determination step, and the desired collection information output step. , a collection confirmation process, and a collection confirmation output process. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, the description of the garbage carry-in assistance apparatus of this invention can be used.

The storage unit stores the garbage drop-in information and the user information of the garbage drop-in. The storage unit is, for example, the storage unit 18 of the garbage bringing-in support device 10 .

In the collection candidate selection step, when request information of a requester in which a request for garbage collection from a user who cannot bring in garbage and identification information of the user are linked, the identification information of the requester is acquired. location information of the residence linked to the garbage collection point, location information of each of the garbage collection points, and location information of the residence of the user storing the garbage collection history information, and For each loading area, the distance from the user's residence to the garbage pickup area (D ₀ ), and the distance from the user's residence to the garbage pickup area via the client's residence (D ₁ ) is calculated, and a user whose difference between the distance (D ₁ ) and the distance (D ₀ ) is equal to or less than a threshold is selected as a collection candidate who can stop by the client's residence and move to the garbage collection area. . This step can be executed by the collection candidate selection unit 11 of the garbage carry-in support device 10, for example.

The candidate date/time setting step is a step of setting, from the bring-in history information of the candidate for collection, a date and time when there is a possibility of carrying-in as a candidate date and time for drop-in collection. It can be executed by the date and time setting section 12 .

The candidate date and time output step is a step of outputting the set candidate date and time, and can be executed by the candidate date and time output unit 13 of the garbage bringing-in support device 10, for example.

The desired collection date determination step is a step of outputting the selected candidate date and time as the desired collection date and time when obtaining the requester's selection result regarding the set candidate date and time. can be executed by the desired collection date determining unit 14 of .

The desired collection information output step is a step of outputting the determined desired collection date and time and the location information of the client's residence as desired collection information. It can be executed by the unit 15 .

The collection confirmation step is a step of determining the selected collection candidate as a collection person when obtaining the selection result of any collection candidate related to the collection request information. It can be executed by the determination unit 16 .

The collection confirmation output step is a step of outputting the desired collection date and time of the collection request information selected by the determined collection person and the identification information of the collection person as the collection confirmation information. 10 collection determination output unit 17.

Next, the garbage bringing-in support method of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The trash-carrying support method of the present embodiment can be implemented using, for example, the trash-carrying support device 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 . The trash-carrying support method of this embodiment is not limited to the use of the trash-carrying support device 10 .

Garbage drop-in place information and garbage drop-in user information are stored in the storage unit 18 of the trash drop-in support device 10 in advance. The bringing-in history information in the user information is, for example, as shown in FIG. remembered.

Then, when the request information for garbage collection transmitted from the client X's terminal is acquired (S101), the position information of the client X's residence, the position information of each garbage collection place, and the use that has experience of bringing in garbage. The location information of the person's residence is extracted (S102). In this example, it is assumed that the positional information of the garbage collection site that has experience of bringing in garbage is extracted for each user who has experience of bringing in garbage. For example, from the bring-in history information as shown in FIG. 4A, it is possible to extract the place used by each user so far. At this time, if the user uses a plurality of garbage drop-in areas, two or more garbage drop-off areas may be extracted instead of one. Also, in the extraction, a frequently used garbage collection site may be selected.

Next, the distance (D ₀ ) from the user's residence to the garbage delivery place and the garbage delivery distance from the user's residence to the client X's residence are determined for each garbage delivery place. A distance (D ₁ ) to the field is calculated (S103). As shown in FIG. 4(B), for each user, the distance (D ₀ ) to the garbage pick-up place with the bring-in history and the distance (D ₀ ) to the garbage pick-up place via the client X can be calculated. Then, the difference between the distance (D ₁ ) and the distance (D ₀ ) is calculated as the circuitousness (S104), and it is determined whether the circuitousness is equal to or less than a threshold (S105). If it is equal to or less than the threshold (YES), the user is selected as a collection candidate who can stop by the client's residence and move to the garbage pick-up area in combination with the garbage pick-up area (S106), and the threshold is set. If it exceeds (NO), the user is excluded from collection candidates in combination with the garbage collection point (S107). For example, when the threshold is set to "20", in FIG. 4B, users D, I, J, and K are excluded from recovery candidates, and users A, B, and C is selected as (S106).

From the collection candidate's bringing-in history information, the date and time when there is a possibility of carrying-in is set as the candidate date and time for drop-in collection (S108). Specifically, information on the date and time of bringing-in is extracted from the collection candidate's bringing-in history information, the trend of bringing-in by all the above-mentioned collection candidates is analyzed, and based on the current can be set as the candidate date and time.

As a specific example, for example, regarding the collection candidate's bringing-in history information, by grouping the bringing-in date and time by a combination of the day of the week and the time zone (morning/afternoon), as shown in FIG. Obtain the total number of bringing times for each bringing-in date and time. The total number of bringing times can be said to be the weight of each bringing-in date and time, for example. In other words, it means that the date and time of bringing-in with a large numerical value is the date and time when the possibility of bringing-in by the user is high. In calculating the weight, the old brought-in history information may not be helpful. Therefore, for example, a method that does not use old brought-in history information and uses a sigmoid function, etc., gives relatively old brought-in history information a lower weight on the number of times brought, and relatively newer brought-in history information. It is also possible to adopt a method of weighting the number of bringing times in the included information and calculating the weighting of the candidate date and time based on the number of bringing times.

In the case of FIG. 5A, the first candidate "Thursday afternoon", the second candidate "Tuesday morning", etc. can be set in descending order of numerical values. Therefore, for example, if the request date is August 7 (Wednesday), the candidate date and time can be set as August 8 (Thursday) and August 13 (Tuesday). In addition, since the weight can be said to be the high probability that other users will undertake collection, the first candidate August 8 (Thursday) and the second candidate August 13 (Tuesday) are set. good too. In this way, a plurality of candidate dates and times can be set.

Next, the set candidate date and time is output to the terminal of the client X (S109). As a result, on the display of the client X's terminal, for example, as shown in FIG. Then, the requester transmits a reply to the candidate date and time to the garbage bringing-in support device 10 . When the garbage bringing-in support device 10 acquires an answer from the client X (S110), it determines whether or not the candidate date and time is selected in the answer (S111). , is determined as the desired collection date and time (S112).

If the candidate date and time has not been selected (NO), there is no candidate date and time for which requester X wishes to collect, so it is determined that collection is not possible (S113), and another candidate date and time is set. To do so, the process returns to S102. At this time, the previously presented candidate date and time are stored in the storage unit 18, and in a new S108, the candidate date and time are set by removing the already presented candidate date and time, and in a new S109, the new collection candidate date and time is set by the requester. Output to X. For example, in the previous presentation, if the first candidate August 8 (Thursday) and the second candidate August 13 (Tuesday) are presented and it is determined that collection is not possible, in a new S108, The third candidate "Tuesday afternoon" and "Friday morning" are set and output in a new S109, or the same day of the week following the first candidate August 8 (Thursday) August 15 (Thursday) ) and output in new S109.

The determined desired collection date and time and the location information of the client's residence are output to the terminal of the collection candidate as collection desired information (S114). The desired collection information may be output for all collection candidates selected in S106, or only for collection candidates who have a possibility of being brought in at the fixed desired collection date and time.

By the output to the collection candidate's terminal, the collection request information including, for example, the determined desired collection date and time and the location information of the address of the client X is displayed on the display of the collection candidate's terminal. . At this time, for example, location information is displayed on the terminal as the collection request information so that the collection candidate can easily determine whether or not it is easy to stop by the client X's residence. You can print the map. The map may indicate, for example, the positions of the client X's residence, the garbage collection point, and the collection candidate's residence, and a route connecting them. Further, it is preferable to display the location of the collection candidate's residence, for example, only on the collection candidate's terminal.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, it is preferable that the display also displays whether or not a collection person has been decided together with the requester's identification information and desired collection date and time. As a result, the collection candidate can determine whether or not to collect only the request for which the collection person has not yet decided. In the case of FIG. 6, the collection person has not yet decided on the collection request of the requester X described above.

Then, the collection candidate judges that it is possible to drop in and collect the collection request information, and when accepting this, transmits the answer to the garbage carry-in support device 10.例文帳に追加The garbage bring-in support device 10 determines whether or not there is an answer from the candidate for collection within a certain period of time from the output to the candidate for collection (S115). The collection candidate who performed the above is determined as a collection person (S116). In FIG. 6, for example, when A is determined as the collection person for client X, A is displayed in the column of the determined collection person ID. Then, the desired recovery date and time of the recovery request information selected by the determined recovery person and the recovery person's identification information are output as recovery confirmation information to the requester X (S117). On the other hand, if there is no response from any of the collection candidates for a certain period of time (NO), it is determined that collection is not possible (S113), and the process returns to S102 to set another candidate date and time, Set different candidate dates and times.

(Modification 2)
For example, when two or more garbage drop-off points are extracted for a candidate for collection, the order of priority of garbage pick-up points to which the candidate for collection is easy to bring in can be determined as follows. In this way, by presenting points that are convenient for the collection candidate, an environment is created in which it is easier for the requester to help.

Even if two garbage collection points are extracted for the collection candidate, the distance (D ₁ ) and the distance (D ₀ ) may be calculated for each of them. For example, when the garbage pick-up area 1 and the garbage pick-up area 2 are extracted, the distance (D _1-1 ), the distance (D _0-1 ), the difference between them (the circuitousness of 1) with respect to the garbage pick-up area 1, The distance (D _1-2 ), the distance (D _0-2 ), and the difference between them (the circuitousness 2) for the garbage take-in area 2 are calculated respectively. Then, the circuitousness 1 when the garbage collection site 1 is selected and the circuitousness 2 when the garbage collection site 2 is selected may be output together in the output of the desired collection information in S114. This allows the collection candidate, for example, to take into consideration the degree of circuitousness and select a less troublesome route even when undertaking drop-in collection.

(Modification 3)
In selecting collection candidates, in addition to setting a threshold for the difference (circumference) between the distance (D ₁ ) that passes through the requester and the distance (D ₀ ) that does not pass through the requester, as described above, In addition, a threshold for distance (D ₀ ) that does not pass through the client may be set in order to exclude the route of a distant garbage collection point. However, by setting a threshold value for the distance (D ₀ ), for example, users who do not have trouble bringing their garbage to a distant garbage pick-up area may be excluded from collection candidates. Therefore, a method is exemplified in which a user can be a collection candidate even if the route is far away from the garbage collection point.

As an example, FIG. 7 shows the positional relationship among the user A, the garbage take-in area α, and the client X. As shown in FIG. Also, as a provisional condition, the threshold for the difference (circuitry) between the distance (D ₁ ) and the distance (D ₀ ) is set to 1 km, and the threshold for the distance (D ₀ ) is set to 10 km. In this case, the circuitousness when user A passes through client X is 50.2 - 50.2 = 0.2 km, so it is a candidate for the circuitousness threshold or less, but the direct distance (D ₀ ) exceeds the threshold of 10 km. In this way, when the circuitousness satisfies the threshold but the direct distance (D ₀ ) does not satisfy the threshold, first, the user A searches whether there is a usage history of the garbage drop-off area α. If the user A does not have a history of using the garbage collection area α, the user A is excluded from the collection candidates for the garbage collection area α. The user A may be a collection candidate for the carry-in area α.

Furthermore, a threshold may be set for the number of usage histories for the garbage drop-off point where the direct distance (D ₀ ) exceeds the threshold. In other words, even if the user A has a history of using the garbage pick-up area α, if the number of such visits is extremely small, there is a possibility that the user A will go to the garbage pick-up area α via the client X. is low. Therefore, by setting a threshold for the number of times, it is possible to further prevent a decrease in matching probability.

In addition, since the threshold for the direct distance (D ₀ ) may vary depending on the user, it may be set for each user based on the user's bring-in history information.
