In one example, a higher priority may be set for equipment that satisfies conditions regarding the performance's budget, and the higher the priority is set for equipment that is stored closer to the place (facility) where the performance is scheduled to take place. It's okay. Furthermore, the priority may be set for each type of appliance. For example, if a facility user requests the use of lighting equipment and a piano in a performance, a priority for the lighting equipment and a priority for the piano may be set.

The appliance data management unit 112 generates second appliance data by performing at least one of a first association process and a second association process with reservation information on the first appliance data. Therefore, in the second appliance data, some of the appliances are selected from the first appliance data based on the reservation information, and/or the appliances are sorted in descending order of priority based on the reservation information. It is being The second appliance data includes, for example, a list of appliances that associates the first appliance data with the reservation information as described above.

That is, an environment is created in which the processing device 103 can execute a simulation of the performance scheduled to be performed. As a result, designers other than facility users and facility managers can execute simulations of programs scheduled to be performed, and use the processing device 103 to design programs. In the simulation, the designer performs settings etc. via the user interface of the processing device 103, for example.

Through simulation using the processing device 103, the designer designs equipment to be placed in the facility during the performance, such as designing lighting equipment for the performance. In the simulation, instruments used in the performance are selected from instruments included in the second instrument data. Then, for the selected equipment, the arrangement position in the program, the operating state in the program, and temporal changes in the operating state are set. At this time, if the fixture is a lighting device, the luminous intensity, light color, irradiation direction, etc. of the illumination light of the lighting device are set as the operating state of the lighting device in the performance.

In one example, in a simulation, information regarding the placement position of each piece of equipment is set in three-dimensional data representing the three-dimensional structure (three-dimensional space) of a facility where a performance is scheduled to be performed. In this case, three-dimensional data in which each of the instruments is arranged at the arrangement position set in the three-dimensional data representing the three-dimensional structure of the facility is generated as a result of the simulation of the performance. In another example, a moving image showing temporal changes in a program in a space formed in a facility where the program is scheduled to be performed is generated as a result of the simulation. In this case, the generated video also shows temporal changes in the operating states of fixtures placed in the facility, such as lighting equipment. The moving image generated as a result of the simulation may be a two-dimensional image or a three-dimensional image. Furthermore, when music is played in the generated video, the video data generated as a simulation result includes sound data. In this case, the sound data included in the video data may be provided by a facility user or the like as part of the reservation information, or may be added by the designer.

When the simulation of the performance is completed, the processing device 103 outputs information indicating the simulation result to the management device 105. Thereby, the simulation result management unit 113 of the management device 105 acquires information indicating the simulation result. Then, the simulation result management unit 113 outputs information indicating the simulation result to the processing device (second processing device) 101. At this time, the simulation result management unit 113 notifies the obtained simulation results via the user interface of the processing device 101 or the like. This allows facility users such as those making reservations to check the simulation results for the program.

Further, in a case where the reservation information includes information regarding the budget of a performance scheduled to be performed, estimate information regarding the performance may be generated based on the information regarding the budget in a simulation using the processing device 103. In this case, the simulation result management unit 113 obtains the simulation result including the generated estimate information. Then, the simulation result management unit 113 outputs the simulation result including the estimate information to the processing device 101. Here, the estimate information includes an estimated cost for facilities used in the performance, and an estimated cost for equipment when the performance is performed as shown in the simulation results. In one example, the processing device 101 displays estimate information and the like in a state where the cost indicated by the budget information and the estimated amount in the estimate information can be compared.

Furthermore, in the simulation of the processing device 103 and the like, a plurality of simulation results may be generated. In this case, the simulation result management unit 113 outputs a plurality of simulation results to the processing device 101. This allows facility users such as those making reservations to compare the results of multiple simulations regarding programs. In one example, a simulation result when a performance is performed within the budget-related conditions included in the reservation information is generated as one of the plurality of simulation results. Then, a simulation result of a performance that can be realized by adding a predetermined cost to the budget included in the reservation information is generated as another one of the plurality of simulation results.

Furthermore, if a facility user such as a reservation holder agrees with any one of the one or more simulation results, the appliance data management unit 112 acquires information indicating that fact. When information indicating that the facility user has agreed to any one of the simulation results is obtained, the equipment data management unit 112 selects the equipment used in the program content of the agreed simulation result. Specify the desired equipment to be used in the performance. Then, the appliance data management unit 112 notifies information regarding the appliance desired to be used via the user interface of the processing device used by the owner of the appliance desired to use in the processing device (third processing device) 104. This allows each appliance owner to confirm whether or not they own the appliance they wish to use. Then, when the appliance owner who owns the desired appliance agrees to use the desired appliance, the desired appliance is tentatively reserved. Note that if existing equipment in the facility where the performance is scheduled to be performed is specified as the equipment desired to be used, the equipment data management unit 112 may also inform the user of the equipment desired to be used via the user interface of the processing device (third processing device) 102. Notify information about equipment.

Further, the management unit 106 may notify the facility user of the program content of the simulation result to which the facility user has agreed via the user interface of the processing device 102. This makes it possible for the facility manager to confirm the content of the program based on the simulation results that the facility user has agreed to. At this time, the management unit 106 may generate a layout diagram representing the arrangement of instruments in the facility based on the simulation results agreed to by the facility users. In this case, the management unit 106 outputs the generated instrument layout diagram to the processing device 102 together with the simulation results. The fixture layout diagram includes a layout diagram of lighting equipment to be installed in the facility.

Furthermore, the second appliance data may not include an appliance that the designer desires to use in the simulation. In this case, the designer processes information indicating an operation that requests the use of the target equipment in the simulation that is not included in the second equipment data, and requirements for the target equipment that requests its use in the simulation. Input is possible via the user interface of device 103. When information indicating the required conditions for the target appliance required to be used in the simulation is input, the appliance data management unit 112 acquires information indicating the required conditions for the target appliance required to be used in the simulation. . The requirements for the target appliance include the type, model number, specifications, period of use, budget, etc. required for the target appliance. Then, the appliance data management unit 112 searches the first appliance data for a target appliance that satisfies the required conditions, based on information indicating the required conditions for the target appliance.

If a target appliance that satisfies the requirements exists in the first appliance data, the appliance data management unit 112 acquires information about the target appliance from the first appliance data. The information about the target appliance includes information regarding the type of the target appliance, the owner of the appliance, the model number, the storage location, the usable period, the price, the specifications (performance), and the like. The appliance data management unit 112 then outputs the acquired information about the target appliance to the processing device (first processing device) 103. This allows the designer to use target appliances that are not included in the second appliance data in the simulation.

If there is no target appliance that satisfies the required conditions in the first appliance data, the appliance data management unit 112 sends information indicating the required conditions to the target appliance required to be used in the simulation to the processing device (third The notification is made via the user interface of the processing device (102, 104). At this time, information indicating that the target appliance that satisfies the required conditions does not exist in the first appliance data may also be notified via the user interface of the processing devices 102 and 104. As a result, one or more equipment holders and the facility manager who is the equipment holder of permanent equipment in the facility where the performance is scheduled to perform can check whether they own the target equipment that is required to be used in the simulation. It becomes possible to check whether

In addition, the equipment holder (including the facility manager) who owns the target equipment inputs information about the target equipment via the corresponding user interface of the processing device (third processing device) 102 or 104. It is possible. The input information about the target appliance is output to the management device 105, and the appliance data management unit 112 acquires the input information about the target appliance. The appliance data management unit 112 then outputs the acquired information about the target appliance to the processing device (first processing device) 103. This allows the designer to use target appliances that are not included in the second appliance data in the simulation. Note that the appliance data management unit 112 may store information about the acquired target appliance in the appliance information storage unit 111 and update the first appliance data.

In the design assistance system 100 as described above, when reservation information is output from the processing device 101 used by a facility user such as a reservation person to the management device 105, the management device 105 performs the processing shown in FIG. 3. The process shown in FIG. 3 is performed, for example, every time reservation information is output from the processing device 101 to the management device 105. In the process shown in FIG. 3, the management unit 106 acquires reservation information output from the processing device (S301). Then, the management unit 106 identifies the facility that is the reserved place based on the acquired reservation information and the facility information in the facility information storage unit 110 (S302). Then, the management unit 106 acquires the facility information of the specified facility, that is, the facility information of the facility where the program is scheduled to be performed, from the facility information storage unit 110 (S303).

Furthermore, the appliance data management unit 112 generates second appliance data in which the first appliance data is associated with the reservation information by performing at least one of the first association process and the second association process (S305). .

Further, the simulation environment forming unit 107 outputs the reservation information acquired by the management unit 106 and the facility information of the facility specified as the reserved place to the processing device 103 (S306). Then, the simulation environment forming unit 107 outputs the second instrument data generated by the instrument data management unit 112 to the processing device 103 (S307). Then, the simulation environment forming unit 107 creates an environment in which a simulation can be executed for the program scheduled to be performed based on the reservation information, the facility information of the facility where the program is scheduled to be performed, and the second equipment data. , is formed in the processing device 103 (S308). That is, the simulation environment forming unit 107 enables the processing device 103 to execute a simulation of the performance scheduled to be performed.

In addition, in the design assistance system 100, when information indicating simulation results is output from the processing device 103 used by a designer other than facility users and facility managers to the management device 105, the management device 105 Perform the processing shown. The processing shown in FIG. 4 is performed, for example, every time information indicating a simulation result is output from the processing device 103 to the management device 105. In the process shown in FIG. 4, the simulation result management unit 113 acquires information indicating the simulation result (S401). Then, the simulation result management unit 113 outputs information indicating the simulation result to the processing device 101 (S402).

Furthermore, when information indicating requirements for a target appliance that is requested to be used in a simulation is input via the designer's processing device 103, the management device 105 performs the processing shown in FIG. 5. The processing shown in FIG. 5 is performed, for example, each time the above-mentioned information is input via the processing device 103. In the process shown in FIG. 5, the appliance data management unit 112 acquires information indicating requirements for the target appliance that is requested to be used in the simulation (S501). Then, the appliance data management unit 112 searches for a target appliance that satisfies the required conditions in the first appliance data based on information indicating the required conditions for the target appliance (S502).

As a result of the search, if the target appliance that satisfies the requirements exists in the first appliance data (S503-Yes), the appliance data management unit 112 outputs information about the target appliance to the processing device 103 (S504). . On the other hand, if there is no target appliance that satisfies the required conditions in the first appliance data (S503-No), the appliance data management unit 112 stores information indicating the required conditions for the target appliance that is required to be used in the simulation. is notified via the processing devices 102 and 104 (S505).
In this embodiment, the simulation environment forming unit 107 outputs reservation information, facility information about the facility where the reservation is made, and second equipment data to the processing device (first processing device) 103. Then, the simulation environment forming unit 107 enables the processing device 103 to execute a simulation of the performance scheduled to be performed based on the reservation information, facility information, and second equipment data. Therefore, designers other than facility users and facility managers can easily use the processing device 103 to execute a simulation of a performance scheduled to be performed. Therefore, the designer can easily design the program.
Furthermore, the appliance data management unit 112 generates second appliance data by associating the first appliance data including information about the appliances of one or more appliance holders with the reservation information. The reservation information includes information regarding the date, time, and location of the performance scheduled to be performed. Therefore, by performing a simulation using the second equipment data associated with the reservation information, the program content using equipment suitable for the date, time, and location of the scheduled performance is generated as a result of the simulation. . For example, in the performance content of the simulation results, equipment whose storage location is reasonably close to the place (facility) where the performance is scheduled to be performed, and which is requested to be lent on the scheduled date and time of the performance, is used appropriately. .

The reservation information also includes information regarding the program scheduled to be performed, such as requests from facility users regarding equipment to be placed in the facility during the program. Therefore, by performing a simulation using the second equipment data associated with the reservation information, a program content using equipment suitable for the needs of the facility user is generated as a result of the simulation. For example, in the performance content of the simulation results, equipment whose specifications etc. meet the needs of facility users is appropriately used.

Further, in the present embodiment, the appliance data management unit 112 performs at least one of the first association process and the second association process described above to associate the first appliance data with the reservation information. Generate data. Therefore, the second appliance data is appropriately associated with the reservation information.

Further, the simulation result management unit 113 obtains the results of the simulation performed by the processing device 103 and outputs the obtained simulation results to the processing device 101 . If the reservation information includes information regarding the program's budget, a simulation result including estimate information regarding the program can be output to the processing device 101. As a result, facility users such as those making reservations can easily compare the estimated amount of the estimate information with the budget-related conditions using the processing device 101, and can easily determine whether the estimated amount satisfies the budget-related conditions. It becomes possible to check.

Further, the simulation result management unit 113 can output a plurality of simulation results to the processing device 101. As a result, facility users such as those making reservations can use the processing device 101 to compare multiple simulation results, and can easily select program content that suits their needs from among the multiple simulation results.

Furthermore, upon acquiring information indicating that the facility user has consented to any one of the simulation results, the equipment data management unit 112 may select the equipment used in the program content of the agreed simulation result. Specify the desired equipment to be used in the performance. Then, the appliance data management unit 112 notifies the owner of the appliance desired to use the information regarding the appliance via the processing device (corresponding one of 102 and 104) used by the owner of the appliance desired to use. This allows each equipment owner, including the facility manager, to confirm whether or not they own the equipment they wish to use. By being able to confirm whether or not the equipment owner owns the equipment he or she wishes to use, provisional reservations for the equipment he or she wishes to use can be made quickly.

The appliance data management unit 112 also acquires information indicating requirements for the target appliance required to be used in the simulation from the processing device 103 used by the designer. If the first appliance data includes a target appliance that satisfies the required conditions, the appliance data management unit 112 outputs information about the target appliance to the processing device 103. This allows the designer to use target appliances that are not included in the second appliance data in the simulation.

On the other hand, if the target appliance that satisfies the required conditions is not included in the first appliance data, the appliance data management unit 112 causes the processing devices 102 and 104 to notify the target appliance of information indicating the required conditions. . This allows the designer to request equipment owners, including facility managers, to use target equipment not included in the second equipment data in the simulation. If any of the appliance owners owns a target appliance that satisfies the required conditions, information about the target appliance is input through the corresponding one of the processing devices 102 and 104, and the appliance data management unit 112 outputs information about the target instrument to the processing device 103. This allows the designer to use target appliances that are not included in the second appliance data in the simulation.

According to at least one of these embodiments, second appliance data is generated based on the reservation information, in which first appliance data including information about the appliances of one or more appliance holders is associated with the reservation information. . Then, the processing device can execute a simulation of the performance based on the reservation information, the facility information about the facility where the reservation is made, and the second equipment data. Thereby, it is possible to provide a management device, a management method, and a management program that facilitate the design of programs by designers other than facility users and facility managers.
