The following describes the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments described below have various limitations that are technically preferable for implementing the present invention, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and illustrated examples.

First Embodiment
[Configuration of the telework space evaluation device]
First, a configuration of a telework space assessment device 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The telework space evaluation device 1 is a device for evaluating whether or not a place (telework space) where telework (remote work) is to be performed is a place suitable for performing the work to be performed by telework.

Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the telework space evaluation device 1. As shown in Figure 1, the telework space evaluation device 1 is configured to include a control unit 11, an input unit 12, an output unit 13, a communication unit 14, and a storage unit 15.

The control unit 11 is composed of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), etc. In response to an input from the input unit 12, the control unit 11 reads out the system program and various programs stored in the program storage unit 151 of the storage unit 15, expands them in the RAM, and executes various processes including the telework space evaluation process A described below according to the expanded programs.

The input unit 12 is composed of a keyboard equipped with cursor keys, numeric input keys, and various function keys, a pointing device such as a mouse, a touch panel, and a voice input device such as a microphone, and outputs input instruction signals to the CPU 11.

The output unit 13 is configured with a monitor (display) such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), and displays various input screens, evaluation results, etc., according to the instructions of a display signal input from the control unit 11. The output unit 13 may also include an audio output unit.

The communication unit 14 transmits and receives data to and from external devices via a communication network such as a LAN (Local Area Network), a WAN (Wide Area Network), or the Internet.

The storage unit 15 is composed of a non-volatile semiconductor memory, a hard disk, etc. The storage unit 15 includes a program storage unit 151 and a data storage unit 152.

The program storage unit 151 stores various programs, including a system program and a program for executing the telework space evaluation process A described below. Each program is stored in the form of program code that can be read by the CPU of the control unit 11, and the CPU of the control unit 11 sequentially executes operations in accordance with the program code.

The data storage unit 152 stores data necessary for executing the program. In this embodiment, the data storage unit 152 stores task list data 152a, checklist data 152b, a task database 152c, and a score database 152d.

The task list data 152a is data for displaying the task list 141 shown in FIG. 2 on the output unit 13. The task list 141 has a number of task items (e.g., A to E in FIG. 2) that describe the tasks that can be performed by teleworking, and a check box corresponding to each task item, and is a list for the user to select tasks to perform by teleworking from among the multiple task items. Note that FIG. 2 shows an example in which each task content is associated with a task attribute (in this embodiment, at least one of concentration work, creative work, and multitasking work), but it is sufficient for the task list 141 to display only the portion surrounded by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2.

Here, concentrated work is a type of work that requires concentration, and is mainly performed in the style of individual work using a PC, web conferences, etc. Examples of work contents that have concentrated work as a work attribute include document creation, information transmission meetings, schedule management, sales and marketing, customers, and production management.
Creative work is a type of work that requires creative thinking, and is carried out in a style that involves sketching on paper, writing down ideas, looking at reference books and images, and taking a relaxed position to think deeply. Examples of work that has creative work as a work attribute include planning, rough design, brainstorming/idea creation meetings, and reference information/case studies.
"Multitasking" refers to a type of work that can be done while doing other things such as housework. Examples of work that have "multitasking" as a work attribute include reading and writing emails, talking on the phone or chatting, viewing reference videos or materials, listening to meetings, communicating within the company, and responding to simple work instructions.
The task attributes are not limited to those mentioned above.

The checklist data 152b is data for displaying the checklist 142 shown in Fig. 3 on the output unit 13. The checklist 142 has a plurality of check items and check columns for the telework environment, and is a list for checking the items that apply to the place (telework space) where the user is going to perform telework. The check items include various items related to the telework environment, such as whether a door is attached to the space dedicated to work, whether living sounds can be blocked, whether the state of children, elderly people, etc. can be immediately checked from the work space, whether the room temperature is adjusted to a comfortable temperature, whether lighting equipment necessary for work is installed, etc.
Note that, although FIG. 3 shows an example in which each check item is associated with a score for each task attribute, it is sufficient for checklist 142 to display only the portion surrounded by the two-dot chain line in FIG.

The task database 152c is a database that stores each task item displayed in the task list 141 in association with a task attribute (which may be multiple) corresponding to the task item.
The score database 152d is a database that stores, in association with each check item displayed on the checklist 142, a score for each task attribute set for that check item. A higher score is set for a task attribute that is more suitable for the environment of the check item.

The telework space evaluation device 1 having the above configuration may be realized as a service provided to a user terminal through a server managed by an operator, or may be realized in the form of software installed on a user terminal (e.g., a smartphone or a PC).
In the former case, the server functions as the telework space evaluation device 1, and the touch panel (keyboard, mouse, display) of the user terminal connected via the communication unit 14 may be used as the input unit 12 and the output unit 13.
In the latter case, the user terminal functions as the telework space assessment device 1.

Next, the operation of the telework space assessment device 1 will be described.
4 is a flowchart showing the flow of the telework space evaluation process A executed by the telework space evaluation device 1. The telework space evaluation process A is executed by the CPU of the control unit 11 in cooperation with a program stored in the program storage unit 151.

First, the control unit 11 causes the output unit 13 to display the task list 141, and the input unit 12 causes the user to select from the task list 141 the task items that the user intends to perform through telework (step S1).

Next, the control unit 11 causes the output unit 13 to display the checklist 142, and the input unit 12 causes the user to select from the checklist 142 items (check items) that apply to the environment of the place (telework space) where the user intends to perform telework (step S2).

Here, the check items in the checklist 142 may include items defined by measurement values such as illuminance, sound volume, temperature, air pressure, etc. As shown in Fig. 5, the control unit 11 may acquire, via the communication unit 14, measurement values of environmental conditions obtained by an illuminance sensor 2, a microphone 3, a thermometer, a barometer, etc., that are placed in a location where telework is to be performed, and automatically select the check item if the acquired measurement value is within a range defined by the check item.
The illuminance sensor 2, the microphone 3, the thermometer, the barometer, etc. may be portable or installed, or may be provided in an information terminal carried by a user.
Also, although the check is automatically performed via the communication unit 14, the user may input the measured value from the input unit.

Next, the control unit 11 refers to the task database 151c and the score database 151d, and tallies an evaluation score indicating whether the location where the telework is to be performed is an environment suitable for the selected task (step S3).

In step S3, the control unit 11 calculates, for example, an evaluation score for each selected task item.
The control unit 11 first refers to the task database 151c and acquires the task attributes of each selected task item. Next, the control unit 11 refers to the score database 151d and acquires the score for each task attribute set for each selected check item, totals the acquired scores for each task attribute, and calculates a score rate by dividing the total score for each task attribute by the total score for that task attribute for all check items. Then, for each selected task item, the score rate calculated for the task attribute corresponding to that task item (if it corresponds to multiple task attributes, for example, the score calculated for each corresponding task attribute is added up) is set as the evaluation score for each selected task item (i.e., for each task).

The evaluation score for the telework space may also be tallied for each business attribute. For example, the evaluation score for each business attribute may be calculated by referencing the score database 151d, obtaining the score for each business attribute set for each selected check item, tallying the obtained scores for each business attribute, and dividing the total score for each business attribute by the total score for that business attribute for all check items to obtain the score rate for each business attribute.

Also, a total evaluation score (total score) for the entire task of the selected task item may be calculated. The total score can be calculated, for example, by multiplying the score rate for each task attribute by the weighting for each task attribute of the selected task item and adding them together.
The weight of each task attribute can be, for example, the number of each task attribute corresponding to the selected task item divided by the total number of all task attributes. For example, when task items A, C, D, and E shown in FIG. 2 are selected, the number of concentration tasks is 2, the number of creative tasks is 2, and the number of multitasking tasks is 1, so the weight of concentration tasks is 2/5, the weight of creative tasks is 2/5, and the weight of multitasking tasks is 1/5. Therefore, if the score rates for each task attribute described above are concentration tasks 11/20, creative tasks 3/20, multitasking tasks 18/20, and a total score of 32/60 (0.53), the multitasking tasks have a relatively high score rate and a total score of more than 50%, but when multiplied by this weight, the concentration tasks are 22/100, creative tasks 6/100, multitasking tasks 18/100, and a total score of 46/300 (0.15). In other words, although the location being evaluated is suitable for multitasking, the user does not prioritize multitasking, so the location can be prevented from contributing much to the evaluation of whether the location is a suitable space for teleworking for the user.
In this way, by multiplying the score (scoring rate) of each task attribute by a weight corresponding to the number of task attributes corresponding to the selected task items and adding them together to calculate the total score, the contribution of the score of the task attribute that the user primarily intends to perform can be increased, making it possible to calculate a total score that is more in line with the task that the user intends to perform.

Next, the control unit 11 causes the output unit 13 to output the evaluation result according to the calculated evaluation score (step S4), and ends the telework space evaluation process A.

For example, by outputting the evaluation score for each selected task item, the user can understand whether the location where the telework is to be performed is suitable for performing each task to be performed by telework. When outputting the evaluation score for each selected task item, the control unit 11 preferably sorts and outputs the evaluation scores in order of evaluation score (e.g., in descending order of evaluation score). This allows the user to easily understand the order of tasks suitable for the location where the telework is to be performed when there are multiple tasks to be performed by telework.
In addition, by outputting the evaluation score for each task attribute, the user can easily understand which task attributes are suitable for the location where the user intends to perform telework.
In addition, by outputting the overall score, the user can understand how suitable the location where he or she plans to perform telework is for the overall work that he or she plans to perform via telework.

The collected evaluation scores may be converted into ranks based on predetermined evaluation criteria, and the ranks may be output to the output unit 13. This allows the evaluation results to be provided to the user in an easy-to-understand manner. The evaluation results (evaluation scores and ranks) may be output as numerical values, or, for example, the evaluation results for each task or task attribute may be output in a format that allows the user to easily make intuitive comparisons, such as a radar chart.

In addition, it is preferable that the control unit 11 outputs the task items selected by the user and their corresponding task attributes together with the evaluation results via the output unit 13. This allows the user to understand which task attribute the selected task corresponds to.

The control unit 11 may also calculate the proportion of each task attribute corresponding to the task selected by the user together with the evaluation score and output the calculated proportion by the output unit 13. This allows the user to grasp the proportion of each task attribute in the task that the user is about to perform.

In addition, the control unit 11 may identify environmental conditions suitable for the selected task item based on the task attributes corresponding to the selected task item and the points for each task attribute set for each check item in the checklist 142, and output the identified environmental conditions via the output unit 13.
For example, the task database 151c is referenced to obtain task attributes corresponding to each selected task item, and a check item with the most popular task attribute score equal to or above a predetermined standard (which may be a check item not selected by the user) is obtained from the score database 152, and the check item is output as an environmental condition suitable for the task of the selected task item. This enables the user to grasp the environmental conditions necessary to make a location suitable for the task of the selected task item.

In addition, the control unit 11 may identify task items suitable for the location where telework is to be performed (for example, task items that are not selected) based on the scores for each task attribute set for the selected check item and the task attributes corresponding to each task item in the task list, and output the identified task items via the output unit 13.
For example, among the task items corresponding to task attributes whose scores calculated from the selected check items exceed a predetermined standard, unselected task items may be identified and output to the output unit 13. This makes it possible to grasp tasks that are suitable for the location where telework is to be performed and that have not been selected by the user. Note that not only unselected task items but also selected task items may be output.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The configuration of the telework space assessment device 1 in the second embodiment is similar to that described in the first embodiment, so the explanation will be used to explain the operation of the telework space assessment device 1 in the second embodiment.

Figure 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of the telework space evaluation process B executed by the telework space evaluation device 1 in the second embodiment. The telework space evaluation process B is executed by the CPU of the control unit 11 in cooperation with the program stored in the program storage unit 151.

First, the control unit 11 causes the output unit 13 to display the checklist 142, and causes the input unit 12 to select from the checklist 142 items that apply to the environment of the place (telework space) where the user intends to perform telework (step S11).

Next, the control unit 11 refers to the score database 152d, obtains the scores for each task attribute set for each check item selected in the checklist 142, and tallies the scores for each task attribute (step S12).

Next, the control unit 11 identifies task items that are suitable for the environment of the location where telework is to be performed based on the aggregated scores for each task attribute and the task attributes corresponding to each of the multiple task items in the task list 141 (step S13).
For example, the task database 151c is referenced, and the task item corresponding to the task attribute with the highest collected score is identified as the task item suitable for the location where telework is to be performed.

Then, the control unit 11 causes the output unit 13 to output the identified task items (step S14), and ends the telework space evaluation process B.
In this way, in the second embodiment, by outputting task items suitable for the place where telework is to be performed, the user can grasp task items suitable for the environment of the place where telework is to be performed. As a result, the user can grasp whether the place where telework is to be performed is an environment suitable for the tasks to be performed by telework.

Third Embodiment
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.
Fig. 7 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the telework space evaluation device 1A in the third embodiment. As shown in Fig. 7, the telework space evaluation device 1A includes an analysis unit 16 in addition to the configuration of the telework space evaluation device 1 in Fig. 1 described in the first embodiment. Note that in this embodiment, the task database 151c and the score database 151d may or may not be included.

The analysis unit 16 is an AI (artificial intelligence) that is realized by cooperation between the CPU and various learning programs stored in the analysis unit 16, but may also be configured with dedicated hardware.

The analysis unit 16 correlates information on the work performed by telework for telework that has been performed in the past, information on the check items checked from the checklist 142 for the location where the telework was performed, and evaluation information on the work performed by telework, stores the information as learning data, and performs machine learning to evaluate whether the location where the telework is to be performed is an environment suitable for the work of the selected work item.

The evaluation information for the above-mentioned work is, for example, an evaluation by an evaluator (a person who performed the work, a superior, etc.) (for example, a ranking of whether the work went well or was productive). However, since the evaluation by the evaluator is based on human sensibility, it is also possible to obtain measurement values (for example, temperature (temperature difference), illuminance, air pressure, heart rate, time of day, sound volume, etc.) of the telework space and the teleworker during the telework, and multiply the input evaluation information by a coefficient based on the measurement values to take into account the environment during the telework and the person's condition, etc.
In addition to the above information, the learning data may further include images taken at the telework location.

For example, in the telework space evaluation device 1A, when the input unit 12 instructs the input process of the results of teleworking, the control unit 11 causes the output unit 13 to display the task list 141 shown in FIG. 2, the checklist 142 shown in FIG. 3, the input field for evaluation information, etc., and outputs the information of the tasks performed by teleworking, the information of the check items checked for the place where the teleworking was performed, and the evaluation information to the analysis unit 16 as learning data in association with each other. The analysis unit 16 accumulates and stores the input learning data. The analysis unit 16 uses the accumulated learning data to generate a machine learning model at a predetermined timing. This machine learning model is for evaluating whether the place where the teleworking is to be performed is an environment suitable for the task of the selected task item when, for example, a task item of the task to be performed by teleworking is selected from the task list 141 and a corresponding item is selected from the checklist 142 for the environment of the place where the teleworking is to be performed. Alternatively, the machine learning model may be for example for extracting a task item suitable for the place where the teleworking is to be performed when a corresponding item is selected from the checklist 142 for the environment of the place where the teleworking is to be performed. In this embodiment, the analysis unit 16 is described as generating both machine learning models. Note that machine learning types include, but are not limited to, deep learning.

In addition, in the telework space evaluation device 1A, when the input unit 12 instructs the execution of evaluation processing of the location where telework is to be performed, the control unit 11 causes the output unit 13 to display the task list 141 shown in FIG. 2 and the checklist 142 shown in FIG. 3, and accepts the selection of task items to be performed in telework by the input unit 12 and the selection of check items that correspond to the location where telework is to be performed. Then, information on the selected task items and check items is output to the analysis unit 16.

Based on the input information on the work items and check items, the analysis unit 16 uses a machine learning model to evaluate whether the location where telework is to be carried out is suitable for carrying out the selected work, and outputs the evaluation result via the output unit 13.

The selection of check items for the place where telework is to be performed may be automatically performed by the telework space assessment device 1 using word-of-mouth information on an Internet review site about the place where telework is to be performed (e.g., an internet cafe, a rental office, etc.) instead of the user selecting the check items from the checklist 142. This selection method is also applicable to the first and second embodiments.
For example, when the input unit 12 inputs information such as the URL of a review site for a location where telework is to be performed, the control unit 11 accesses the review site via the communication unit 14 based on the input information to obtain review information. Then, the control unit 11 compares the text data of the review information with the text data of the check items in the checklist to identify the check items that apply to the location. Then, the control unit 11 outputs the identified check items to the analysis unit 16 as selected check items.
By using word-of-mouth information to select check items in the checklist 142, the user can save time and effort in selecting check items. Even if the user has never been to the place where the user plans to perform telework, the user can select check items that are appropriate for the environment of the place.

In addition, if the word-of-mouth information includes image information of the location, the control unit 11 acquires the image information and outputs it to the analysis unit 16, and the analysis unit 16 compares the input image information with the image information of the learning data and evaluates whether the location where telework is to be performed is suitable for performing the selected work based on the comparison result. For example, the analysis unit 16 performs the evaluation based on evaluation information of the learning data that is linked to image information that is highly similar to the acquired image information.

In addition, in the telework space evaluation device 1A, when the input unit 12 instructs the execution of a process to propose tasks suitable for the location where telework is to be performed, the control unit 11 causes the output unit 13 to display the checklist 142 shown in FIG. 3, and accepts the selection by the input unit 12 of the check item that corresponds to the location where telework is to be performed. Then, information on the selected check item is output to the analysis unit 16.

Based on the input check item information, the analysis unit 16 uses a machine learning model to extract task items suitable for the location where telework is to be carried out, and causes the output unit 13 to output the extracted task items.

As described above, instead of selecting check items from checklist 142, the selection of check items for the location where telework is to be performed may be automatically selected based on reviews on an online review site about the location where telework is to be performed (e.g., an internet cafe, rental office, etc.).

In addition, if the word-of-mouth information includes image information of the location, the control unit 11 acquires the image information and outputs it to the analysis unit 16. The analysis unit 16 compares the input image information with the image information of the learning data and extracts task items suitable for the location where telework is to be performed based on the comparison result.

In this way, in the third embodiment, the location of future telework is evaluated based on the evaluation of telework that has been performed in the past, so that the user can be provided with an evaluation based on past experience.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the description of the above embodiment is merely a preferred example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this.
Furthermore, the detailed configuration and operation of the telework space assessment device may be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
