Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the planning of an optimum distribution plan of a limited number of resources to a resource supply destination that unexpectedly occurs, changes, or disappears, for example, a disaster site when a large-scale disaster occurs. The present invention relates to a resource allocation status management system that supports (decision making) and monitors the allocation status efficiently and accurately.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When an urban earthquake disaster occurs, in addition to the damage caused by the earthquake itself, damage due to a wide-area fire or tsunami as a secondary disaster is expected. For this reason, in the fields of disaster prevention, emergency, etc., multiple related administrative agencies are connected by wired and wireless communication networks to secure communication means, and when a disaster occurs, firefighting vehicles, emergency vehicles and other human and physical objects A system has been created to supply natural resources (hereinafter simply referred to as "resources") to disaster areas (suppliers). When a disaster actually occurs, after grasping the demand (disaster situation) in the disaster area, the related administrative organizations communicate with each other and supply resources while allocating or redistributing the resources.

[0003]

Whether or not damage can be minimized in the event of a disaster depends on how quickly and accurately resources can be distributed, redistributed and supplied. However, in a situation where the type and number of resources or the number of demands of the supply destination are constantly changing, it becomes difficult to quickly grasp the whole picture of which supply resources should be supplied and how much. In addition, it is impossible to determine which resources are available and which resources are already supplied, and whether there is no excess or shortage of resources at the destination.

[0004] When resources are distributed in a plurality of regions, for example, local governments, and each resource allocation deciding person is located in another physically separate local government, these resources are cooperated and contradicted. It is very difficult to make a decision on allocation without delay. This is noticeable when resources are managed by different organizations or unique information processing systems.

[0005] In addition, when a small-scale disaster occurs, it may be possible to cope with only the resources in the area. However, when a large-scale disaster occurs, not only the absolute resources are insufficient, but also
The allocation of resources from other areas is hindered. This is because, for example, firefighting systems, etc. are supplied with resources when triggered by a report from a disaster area, but when a large-scale disaster occurs, the site becomes a stricken area, so the report is usually paralyzed. is there. For this reason, it is not possible to grasp the whole picture of the disaster based on the report itself. For example, the whole picture is grasped based on the information reported by the advance crew (helicopter, fire truck, ambulance, etc.) You have to make a distribution plan.

[0006] Such a problem arises not only in the event of a disaster, but also in the planning and redistribution of a plurality of resources, which are required to be promptly and appropriately supplied to supply destinations that occur, change or disappear unexpectedly. This is common in applications where the actual resource allocation situation must be managed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a resource allocation status management system that supports quick and accurate determination of allocation and reallocation of resources to supply destinations, and related technology.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a resource allocation status management system for managing a resource allocation status in the event of a disaster will be specifically described below. As shown in FIG. 1, a resource allocation status management system 1 according to this embodiment is configured by connecting a plurality of information processing systems 2 installed in a plurality of prefectures and cities so as to be able to communicate with each other using a wide area network L. Is done. These information processing systems 2 may be realized by installing a program in a recording medium of the present invention on a mobile computer terminal or a desktop computer terminal having a communication function. The terminal may be connected via a private network or the like to perform distributed processing. Here, an example in which a single computer terminal is used is shown for convenience.

As shown in FIG. 2, each information processing system 2 according to the present embodiment includes a data input device 21 including a pointing device such as a mouse and a numerical input device such as a keyboard, and a display device 22 including a liquid crystal panel and the like.
And a storage device 23 such as a magnetic disk or a magneto-optical disk, and a central processing unit 25 connected to a data input / output device 21, a display device 22, a storage device 23, an external system, and the like via an input / output interface 24. ing.

The central processing unit 25 includes a database management block 10, a matrix management block 20, and a control block 30 which are formed based on an operating system (OS) recorded in the recording device 23 and the above programs.
have.

The database management block 10 manages a database (DB) 231 built in the storage device 23 based on information on supply destinations and resources input through the data input device 21 or an external system. A resource management unit 11 that manages individual resources and their attribute information, a supply destination management unit 12 that manages individual supply destinations that are objects and their attribute information, and an update processing unit that updates attribute information of resources and their destinations 13, an attribute search unit 14 for searching for specific attribute information of a resource or a destination, a resource supply cost (time, distance, money, etc.) based on a time-series variable element of the attribute information of the resource and the destination. , Aggregation and aggregation of demand status information, aggregation and aggregation of supply status information,
It has a function of a calculation unit 15 that performs calculations such as excess / shortage of resources, importance of a destination, and severity at a destination.

The "demand state information" is information indicating how much demand is present at the destination, and the "supply state information" is
The number of supply plans indicates which resources have been allocated in the plan and how much, and the number of supplies which indicates which resources have been actually supplied and how much. "Severity" is an index indicating the duration of past demand and the current demand scale at the destination. "Severity" is an index indicating how difficult the destination is due to a delay in resource supply. It is. The importance and severity are derived based on the chronological changes in the past number of demands and actual supply at the supply destinations. This information is used when determining whether to distribute the information.

The attribute information managed by the resource management unit 11 is:
Identification code (fixed) uniquely determined on the system, resource name (fixed), resource type (fixed), assigned destination name (variable), management source (resource owner: fixed), current physical location (Variable), scheduled supply date / time (variable), resource status (suppliable / unavailable / supplying: variable), physical quality and quantity characteristics (variable), and other information. “Fixed” is information that is used in a fixed manner, and “variable” is information that is changed as needed. The “resource type” is information for distinguishing, for example, a fire truck, an ambulance, a helicopter, and the like, and the “assigned destination name” is information indicating to which destination each resource is allocated, which will be described later. It changes dynamically as the resource moves on the resource allocation plan matrix. "Characteristic" is, for example, the remaining cruising range (time) of the helicopter
And so on.

The attribute information managed by the destination management unit 12 includes an identification code (fixed) uniquely determined on the system, a destination name (fixed), a destination type (fixed), and a current physical location. (Variable), importance (important (urgent) / normal /
Impossible: variable), characteristics of physical quality and quantity (variable)
Other information. The “supplier type” is, for example, fire,
This is information for distinguishing floods, etc., and the "supplier name"
This is information specified by the type. "Characteristics" represents, for example, the size of a fire.

In the database management block 10, by checking the "assigned supply destination name" of each resource, resources having the same supply destination and resources for which the supply destination is not set are grouped and managed. Also, by checking the “resource type” of each resource, resources having the same resource type are grouped and managed. For example, in the case of a supply destination, the number is set to n, and in the case of a resource, when the number of groups created for resources having the same resource type is set to m, the association of these groups is represented by n rows and m columns. It can be managed in a matrix format.

The matrix management block 20 includes a matrix generation unit 21 for generating a resource allocation plan matrix based on the matrix of n rows and m columns, and stores demand state information, supply state information, and other information at the supply destination in the resource allocation plan matrix. It has a function of a mapping processing unit 22 for automatically assigning to a corresponding cell and mapping each to the corresponding cell. Each row and column is automatically deleted from the DB 231 when the supply destination or the resource type disappears, that is, when it is no longer necessary to manage.

When generating a resource allocation plan matrix, the matrix generation unit 21 extracts only the fire-related information that is currently required by specifying, for example, a supply destination whose attribute information is “fire”. In addition, the resources are arranged in order from the resource to which the supply should be prioritized according to the importance, the severity, or the current demand state information and supply state information obtained by the parameter operation unit 15.

A plurality of resource allocation plan matrices can be generated simultaneously. For example, a hierarchical resource allocation plan matrix may be generated for each country, prefecture, city, and town, or a side-by-side resource allocation plan matrix such as another prefecture or city may be generated and linked to each other. can do. In this case, in each distribution plan matrix, a common cell for sharing the contents with other distribution plan matrices, or a common cell representing the aggregation result of data in a specific cell in a plurality of resource distribution plan matrices is formed. Is desirable. This will be described later.

Further, the content of the attribute information of the resource can be viewed directly from the resource allocation plan matrix, and the content can be updated. The updated attribute information is stored in the database management block 10 through the DB.
231 is synchronized with all the resource allocation plan matrices. In this way,
All information required for resource allocation and redistribution planning is
It can be grasped through the resource allocation plan matrix. Note that either the supply destination or the resource may be in a row or a column, but in the following description, for convenience, the supply destination,
The description will be made assuming that resources are assigned to “columns” (resource types).

These resource allocation planning matrices include a matrix ID uniquely determined on the system, a matrix name, a person in charge of planning, the number of supply destinations (the number of rows in the matrix n),
The number of resource types (the number of columns in the matrix m), the number of demands, the number of supply plans, and the number of supply resources for each resource type (cell unit) at each destination are held as attribute information. This attribute information can be shared by another terminal or information processing system via the DB 231 and the control block 30, and when a change in data content is notified from the own system or another terminal or the like, the attribute information is synchronized therewith. Is to be updated.

The control block 30 includes an event processing unit 31 for driving a required event process each time a resource or its supply destination is generated, changed, or disappeared, and a resource allocation plan matrix and its allocation contents in real time on the display unit 22. And a display control unit 32 for dynamically updating the display content when the allocation content of the resource allocation plan matrix being displayed is changed, and a change content in the DB 231 for other information processing systems. Of the communication control unit 33 for notifying the user. The event processing is, specifically, input / change processing of demand information of resources for each supply destination, change processing of attribute information of supply destinations and resources, movement processing of icons to be described later, and the like.

The display control unit 32 displays resources and supply destinations with unique symbols, for example, icons, respectively.
The demand state information and the supply state information are displayed on the corresponding cell as character data and numerical data. Further, a cell control unit 321 and an icon control unit 322 for controlling the display color of each cell and the icon display color of the resource allocation plan matrix.
It has the function of The cell control unit 321 is, for example,
4 is linked to the control table having the contents shown in FIG. 4, and changes the background color of the corresponding cell to a predetermined color for each state of the supply destination and the supply state of the resource. The control table of FIG. 3 defines the above-mentioned importance (important / normal / supply unnecessary) as the state of the supply destination. The control table of FIG. It defines the degree (insufficient / slightly insufficient / appropriate / surplus). Similarly, the icon control unit 322 is linked to, for example, a control table having the contents shown in FIG. 5, and has a predetermined color according to the resource supply state (supplied / supplying / suppliable / supply not required). Change the color of the icon. In this way, the current resource allocation status can be monitored by the color change.

Next, the above resource allocation status management system 1
Will be described. When resources, supply destinations, demand state information, and supply state information are input, the database management block 1
0 calculates the number of resource demands for each resource type at each destination according to the demand of the destination, and stores the result in the DB 23
Register to 1. In addition, the number of all registered resources is totaled, and the planned number of resource supply for each resource type at each supply destination is automatically registered in the DB 231. further,
The number of resources whose resource status has been supplied is totaled, and the number of resources supplied for each resource type at each supply destination is automatically registered in the DB 231. Then, the supply destinations and the resource types are grouped, and are managed in a matrix form of n rows and m columns as shown in FIG.

The matrix generation block 20 generates a resource allocation plan matrix having the contents shown in FIG. 7 based on the contents registered in the matrix format in the database management block 10. This resource allocation plan matrix is displayed on the display device 22 through the control block 30, and the color of each cell and icon is dynamically updated according to the contents specified in FIGS.

In FIG. 7, "suppliable" cells (rows)
Is a cell (row) for allocating resources that can be supplied. As shown in the figure, the resource allocation plan matrix includes icons and character data indicating the state of the resources, for example, the number of demands (“demand X”), the number of supply plans (“total Y”), and the number of supplies (“supply Z”). Are mapped for each cell, and icons can be moved between cells of the same resource type by dragging and dropping with a pointing device. Further, with the movement of the icon, the attribute information of the resource changes, and this is reflected in the DB 231 so that character data such as the number of supply plans on the resource allocation plan matrix is updated as needed. That is, the number of demands is mainly input from the outside (other systems, other matrices, etc.), and the number of supply plans changes with the movement of the icon. Further, the number of supplies varies depending on the status of the resources owned by each cell (for example, the color of the icon).

The demand and supply information in the resource allocation plan matrix can be appropriately aggregated, totalized, and displayed. FIG. 8 shows an example of a tallying method of a shared cell (row) when a certain matrix is hierarchized, as an example of the tallying / aggregating function. Here, it is assumed that two matrices A1 and A2 are managed by one matrix B1. In the figure, "shared A1", [shared A2] cell (row)
Is a cell (row) that can be shared by the respective matrices A1, A2, B1. That is, the “shared A1” of the matrix A1 and the “shared A1” of the matrix B1 are linked to each other (the same thing is displayed), and the “shared A2” of the matrix A2 and the “shared A2” of the matrix B1 are also linked. I have.

The number of demands, the number of plans (the number of supply plans), and the number of supplies in each cell are tabulated as follows. For example, the aggregation / aggregation method for the matrix A1 is as shown in FIG. The demand number is input and displayed mainly from outside (another matrix, another system, a mouse / keyboard input device, etc) by electronic means.
The number of plans (the number of supply plans) is displayed by counting the number of resources allocated to each cell in a planned manner. The supply number refers to the resource state of the planned number, and the resources in the supplied state are counted and displayed.

In the shared cell (“shared A1”), the demand number, the planned number, and the supply number of each cell are further tabulated and displayed. The demand number c in “shared A1” is calculated by comparing the total value a of the demand numbers for each cell and the total value b of the planned number. This value indicates the number of shortages with respect to the number of demands of the entire matrix. The value of a is “supplier A
The demand number “4” of “1a” and the demand number “5” of “supplier A1b” are calculated in total (a = 4 + 5 = 9). b
Is the planned number “3” of “supplier A1a” and “supplier A
1b ”and the planned number“ 2 ”of“ suppliable A1 ”are calculated (b = 3 + 2 + 2 =
7). If a> b (if the demand number is larger than the planned number), the value of ab is substituted into the demand number c of “shared A1”, and if a ≦ b, the demand number is larger. If not) c = 0
Is assigned. In this example, since a> b, c =
It becomes 2. As the planned number, the number of resources allocated to “suppliable A1” in the plan is counted and displayed. The number of supplies refers to the attribute of “resource” in the planned number, and the resources whose status (attribute of “resource”) has been supplied are counted.
Is displayed.

Similarly, for the matrix A2,
In “shared A2”, the number of demands, the number of plans, and the number of supplies are totaled,
Is displayed. Since “shared A1” and “shared A2” are linked to the matrix B1, these cells are also displayed on the matrix B1 at the same time. , The number of demands, the number of plans, and the number of supplies are aggregated and displayed.

Next, a specific example of a mechanism for linking a plurality of resource allocation plan matrices when there are a plurality of them will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 shows the movement of the resources in the hierarchical matrix shown in FIG. 8 and the change of the display form in that case.

Here, when a resource on the matrix A1 is moved from “supplier A1b” to “shared A1” by dragging and dropping (1), the assigned supplier name which is one of the attribute information of the resource is assigned. Is changed from “supply destination A1b” to “shared A1”. Then, this resource is stored not only on the matrix A1 but also on the “shared A” on the matrix B1.
"1" is also displayed at the same time (2). In addition, this resource
When the resource is moved to “suppliable B1” on the matrix B1 (3), the resource allocation destination name is changed to “suppliable B1”. Then, the resources disappear from “shared A1” on the matrix B1, and at the same time, the linked matrix A1
The resource disappears from above (4). Next, matrix B
When the resource is moved on “1” to allocate the resource from “suppliable B1” to “shared A2” (5), the resource allocation destination name is changed to “shared A2”. Matrix B
Since 1 and the matrix A2 are linked, their resources are simultaneously displayed in the "shared A2" of the matrix B1 and the matrix A2 (6). When this resource is further moved to “suppliable A2” on the matrix A2 (7), the assigned destination name of the resource is changed to “suppliable A2”, and the resource disappears from “shared A2” on the matrix A2. Disappear from the matrix B1.

As described above, since the resource allocation plan matrices can be linked, the operator can adjust the state of resource allocation / reallocation while visually grasping it. In addition, it is possible to easily grasp the whole picture of what should be supplied to which supply destination by each matrix. Furthermore, since the current demand and supply status can be confirmed with the cell color and icon color, it is possible to see at a glance which resources can be supplied, which resources have been supplied, and which resources are short or surplus. Be able to grasp. Therefore, for example, the situation at a certain disaster occurrence place can be simultaneously grasped by the information processing system 2 in another area, and the state of the resources in all the areas and the supply state to the supply destination at that time can be instantaneously determined. Therefore, resource allocation and re-allocation planning becomes extremely easy, and appropriate and consistent judgment can be made. The resource allocation status management system according to the present embodiment incorporates resources provided by other organizations in cooperation with other systems,
Since this can be distributed and redistributed, it is possible to appropriately respond to situations such as large-scale disasters.

[0038]

Next, an embodiment of the resource allocation status management system 1 shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 11 shows a specific example of the resource allocation plan matrix displayed on the display device 22. Here, a resource allocation plan matrix is configured by hierarchizing a plurality of panels, and a panel displayed at a lower level manages a panel displayed at a higher level.

For example, a supply destination panel 52 and a resource panel 53 are arranged on a main panel 51 under the window 50, and an individual panel, a supplyable panel, and a common panel are provided on the supply destination panel 52 and the resource panel 53, respectively. The resources are arranged in a matrix to form a resource allocation plan matrix. Addition, arrangement (change), and deletion of a GUI (interface) and these panels as shown in the figure can be realized by using a function of “Java” which is a well-known technique.

In the illustrated panel, the supply destination title 52
a, the resource type title (A, B) 55 is simply displayed, and does not accept an event or the like. The suppliable panel 52c and the suppliable resource panels (A, B) 57 are previously added as panels that are fixedly present in the resource allocation plan matrix. Supply destination sharing panel 52d, resource sharing panel (A,
B) 58 is a shared panel with another related matrix as described above, and has link information with the other matrix. Supply destination individual panel (# 1, # 2)
Is a panel for displaying a supply destination name described in a list managed by the supply destination panel 52 and an icon representing the name.

Resource individual panels (A1, A2, B1, B
2) 56 has a list of resources having the same supply destination information among the resources managed by the resource type panel (A, B) 54 as shown in FIG. And a supply display panel 61. The symbol display panel 60 converts all the resources registered in the list of the resource individual panel 56 into unique symbols (icons), and displays the unique symbols on the individual symbol panel 5.
7a.

The demand and supply display panel 61 has a function of displaying demand information of a supply destination, and a distribution plan information by referring to a list of resource individual panels (A1, A2, B1, and B2) 56. Plan information panel 61b, supply information panel 61 having a function of displaying and integrating supply information
c is managed.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the supplyable panel 52c. The suppliable panel 52c manages a symbol display panel 70 having a plurality of individual symbol panels 70a and a suppliable information panel 71. The symbol display panel 70 basically has the same function as the resource individual panel 56 shown in FIG. The supply available information panel 71
This is different from the demand / supply information display panel 61 of the individual resource panel 56 in that there is no demand information or supply information.

FIG. 14 shows a resource sharing panel (A, B) 58.
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a configuration example of an individual symbol panel 72.
a, the symbol panel 72, the demand information panel 73a, the plan information panel 73b, the supply information panel 73c, and the demand and supply information display panel 73 are basically the same as those of the individual resource panel 56 shown in FIG. The only difference is that the information on the demand information panel 73a indicates how much demand is in the entire matrix calculated from the information on the resource type panels (A, B) 54.

FIG. 15 shows how the resource allocation plan matrix configured as described above is linked with the DB 231. Here, a sequence in the case where the registered contents in the DB 231 are updated is shown. Each list in the figure indicates that the resource or the supply destination is DB231 or DB
231 indicates a list of reference destinations for identifying where in the cached memory the contents of 231 are located. Alternatively, it may be an object expanded on a memory.

In FIG. 15, first, resources to be managed and supply destinations in the resource allocation plan matrix are added from the DB 231 to all resources and all supply destination lists. The window 50
While searching all resources and the list registered in all supply destination lists, if it is "supply destination", register it in the supply destination management table, and if it is "resource", check its type and check it in the resource type management table. sign up. The supply destination management table is used to create “rows” in the resource allocation plan matrix, and the resource type management table is used as “columns” in the resource allocation plan matrix.
Used to make “Lines” on each resource type panel 54 are added in the same order as when they were added to the supply destination panel 52 with reference to the supply destination management table and the existing resource type management table.

The window 50 sorts all resources and all supply destination lists into a supply destination panel 52 and resource type panels A and B by allocating them to a supply destination panel 52 and resource type panels 54 according to attribute information. further,
The resource type panel 54 forms a resource individual list on the corresponding resource individual panel 56 by searching the supply destination of each resource based on the resource type list.

On the symbol display panel 56, an individual symbol panel for displaying all resources registered in the individual resource list is created. On the demand and supply information display panel, the number of supply plans and the number of supplies are calculated and displayed by checking attribute information of all resources registered in the individual resource list. Demand information can be sent from another system or entered on a screen.

When the resource attribute information on the individual symbol panel is changed, the DB 231 is updated by referring to the individual resource list. When the DB 231 is updated,
The DB monitoring process of the window 50 detects this,
The resource allocation plan matrix on the main panel is redrawn. This makes it possible to easily synchronize the registered contents of the DB 231 with the displayed contents of the resource allocation plan matrix. As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to monitor the resource allocation status at the supply destination in real time through the resource allocation planning matrix, and to drag / symbol the symbol.
Since allocation / redistribution plans can be implemented simply by dropping and dropping, it becomes extremely easy to manage a wide variety of resources that occur, change, or disappear in shortage. Note that, in the present embodiment and examples, examples in the case where a disaster occurs have been described, but it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0050]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the demand for resources is unexpectedly generated / changed / disappears at many supply destinations, and there are many types of resources to be supplied. Even if the supply state changes dynamically, it is possible to provide a mechanism capable of quickly and accurately determining resource allocation / reallocation.

Further, since a plurality of distribution plan matrices are linked to form a shared cell or a common cell, a plurality of different organizations can function as if they are one organization. It is possible to provide an environment in which resource-free and reallocation-free judgments can be made.
