First, the measuring apparatus 3 uses the measuring unit 31 to measure the value of a predetermined item such as a temperature at a predetermined inspection location (S 101).

When the measurement is completed and the measurement value is output, the communication processing unit 32 transmits the measurement value to the information distribution apparatus 1 together with the facility ID of the facility where the measurement value 3 is installed (S 102 ).

[0026] When the communication processing unit 15 receives the measurement value from the measurement device 3, the information distribution device 1 refers to the reference value storage unit 12, compares the measurement value with the reference value, and measures the measurement value. Items that exceed the reference value are identified (S103).

For example, the processing compares the measured value with the reference value for each corresponding item, and the result

The standard value of the colony count of live bacteria of “staphylococci” is 5

If the measured value is 600 exceeding that, even though it is 00, the item “staphylococci” exceeds the reference value! /.

[0027] Then, the search processing unit 14 refers to the hygiene information storage unit 11, searches for hygiene information including the identified item as a keyword, and extracts the hygiene information found as a result of the search (S

104).

The search process is performed on, for example, all hygiene information stored as text data or the like. By performing morphological analysis, search for hygiene information that includes the phrase “staphylococci”, which is the item identified above, as a keyword, and extract the hygiene information found as a result of the search from the hygiene information storage unit 11. To do.

The hygiene information extracted in this way is transmitted by the communication processing unit 15 to the user terminal 2 of the user stored in association with the belonging facility ID that has also received the above-described measuring device 3 power with reference to the user information storage unit 16. (S105).

[0028] Thereby, according to the hygiene situation of various stores and facilities, accurate information can be distributed to users who are employees or the like working in the facilities, so that the user's awareness of hygiene and Awareness can be increased.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the overall configuration of the system according to this embodiment includes an information distribution device 8, a user terminal 2, and a measurement device 3, which are configured to communicate with each other via the Internet.

[0030] The information distribution device 8 is installed at the provider of the service related to the system, and includes a CPU, a computer program executed by the CPU, and an internal memory such as a RAM (such as a hard disk drive). By using an external storage device, etc., a functional block comprising a hygiene information storage unit 81, a reference value storage unit 82, an item identification processing unit 83, a search processing unit 84, a communication processing unit 85, a user information storage unit 86, and a verification processing unit 87 is provided. Can be configured.

The reference value storage unit 82 is the item identification processing unit 83, the communication processing unit 85, and the user information storage unit 86 is the reference value storage unit 12, the item identification processing unit 13, the communication processing unit 15, and the user in the above-described embodiment. It corresponds to the information storage unit 16 and has the same functions as these.

[0031] The hygiene information storage unit 81 is a storage unit that can store hygiene information including questions, answers, and the like distributed to the user terminal 2.

In this hygiene information storage unit 81, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, for each problem 82 useful for hygienically managing the facility, a problem ID 81 for identifying the problem, an answer 83 to the problem, an explanation 84, Classification 85 to which the problem belongs is stored.

[0032] The search processing unit 84 refers to the hygiene information storage unit 81 using the item identified by the item identification processing unit 83 as the measured value exceeding the reference value as a keyword, and searches for a problem including the keyword. To extract the problem found as a result of the search and the problem ID of the problem Do.

The collation processing unit 87 performs a process of collating the answer received from the user terminal 2 with the answer stored in the sanitary information storage unit 81 and determining whether the answer is correct.

[0034] Subsequently, a series of processes from receiving a measurement value at a predetermined inspection location from the measurement device 3 to distributing a problem to the user terminal 2 and transmitting a result about the problem to the user The flow will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the measuring apparatus 3 uses the measuring unit 31 to measure the value of a predetermined item such as temperature for a predetermined inspection location (S201).

When the measurement is finished and the measurement value is output, the communication processing unit 32 transmits the measurement value to the information distribution apparatus 1 together with the facility ID of the facility where the measurement value 3 is installed.

(S202).

[0036] When the communication processing unit 85 receives the measurement value from the measurement device 3, the information distribution device 1 refers to the reference value storage unit 82, compares the measurement value with the reference value, and determines the measurement value. Items that exceed the reference value are identified (S203).

In this process, for example, the measured value and the reference value are compared for each corresponding item, and as a result, the reference value of the colony count of viable bacteria of “staphylococci” is 500 0 However, if the measured value exceeds 600, the item “staphylococci” exceeds the reference value! /.

[0037] Then, the search processing unit 84 refers to the hygiene information storage unit 81 to search for a problem including the identified item as a keyword, and finds the problem found as a result of the search together with the problem ID of the problem. Extract (S204).

The search process, for example, searches for all problems stored as text data or the like by searching for problems that include the word “staphylococcus” as an item as a keyword by performing morphological analysis. The problem found as a result of the search is extracted from the hygiene information storage unit 81.

[0038] The communication processing unit 85 refers to the user information storage unit 16 and performs a test on the user terminal 2 of the user stored in association with the affiliation facility ID received from the measurement device 3. A notification to that effect is transmitted (S205). Then, user terminal 2 needs to send an exam question. When a request is transmitted (S206) and the transmission request is received, the extracted problems are transmitted one by one (S207).

When sending a problem, the problem ID and user ID of the problem are sent together with the problem.

[0039] When the user terminal 2 receives the problem and the problem ID of the problem from the information distribution apparatus 1, the user terminal 2 solves the problem. (S208). Here, as shown in FIG. 10, an example of the screen displayed on the display or the like by the output unit 22 of the user terminal 2 is “Next” requesting the problem 101, the option 102 for the problem, and the transition to the next process. Button 103. The user reads the question 101, puts a check in a predetermined check box of the option 102 that he / she thinks is correct, and presses the “Next” button 103. By this operation, the communication processing unit 23 transmits the answer to the problem, the problem ID, and the user ID to the information distribution apparatus 1 (S209).

In response to this, the communication processing unit 85 transmits the next problem and the problem ID related to the problem to the user terminal 2 by the same process as that for transmitting the first problem (S210). ). The communication processing unit 85 performs processing for transmitting all the problems extracted by the search processing unit 84 to the user terminal 2 and receiving responses from the user terminal 2.

[0041] The user terminal 2 sends the answer to the last problem and the problem ID related to the problem to the information distribution apparatus.

1 (S211), the communication processing unit 85 receives the problem and the problem ID, and then the matching processing unit 87 stores the received answer in the hygiene information storage unit 81. And the correctness is determined (S212).

The processing is performed for each answer by comparing the answer related to the problem ID stored in the hygiene information storage unit 81 based on the problem ID received together with the answer.

[0042] When the correctness of all answers is verified, the correctness, the answers and explanations for each problem, and the correct rate for each category to which the problem belongs are graphed. The grade information is transmitted to the user terminal 2 (S213).

As shown in Fig. 11, for example, the performance information received by the user terminal 2 includes the implementation date 111 of the question, the user name 112 that answered the question, the time required 113 to solve the question, and each question that was asked. It consists of a gradebook 114 consisting of correctness, answers, and explanations, and a graph 115 showing the correctness rate for each question category. [0043] Thereby, hygiene information according to the hygiene condition in the facility where the user is engaged can be distributed as a problem to the user, and the user actively solves the problem. Can be further enhanced.

[0044] In this example, it is assumed that the information distribution device receives information on the sanitary condition at the facility where the user is engaged, etc., but the information distribution device receives the information from the measurement device. The surveyor may send the survey result to the information distribution apparatus or directly input the survey result.

[0045] Also, in the above embodiment, a rank indicating the difficulty level is set for each problem, and when the rank is set for the user and the problem is extracted, the problem having the same rank as the user's rank is set. May be extracted.

As a result, for example, a part-time employee such as a restaurant can give a simple question, and a store manager can ask a difficult question, which can deepen understanding according to the level of the user. it can.

[0046] Next, an example of a system for performing hygiene management in a restaurant or an accommodation facility such as a food store or a restaurant will be described.

Conventionally, hygiene surveys have been conducted by specialists in food stores, restaurants and other restaurants and accommodation facilities. This hygiene survey is generally conducted by a specialized investigator who is knowledgeable about hygiene management in the kitchens and hand-washing of each restaurant and lodging facility, and in accordance with a check table in which the locations to be inspected and their standards are determined. Based on this, wipe the viable bacteria at the test site and smear the medium. Then, the medium is brought back to the inspection facility, and in the inspection facility, viable bacteria in the medium are cultured, and the hygienic condition of the inspection site is examined from the growth state of the bacteria.

[0047] However, such a sanitation survey requires labor costs for dispatching specialized scientists to each facility, and there are only a limited number of scientists with sufficient knowledge about sanitation surveys. There are limits to the number of facilities that can be investigated at one time.

[0048] Therefore, in order to reduce the burden on hygiene measurement at each food factory, a system that registers multiple food factories and manages and effectively uses the hygiene information obtained by the food factory. A management server and measuring equipment. Have been proposed to send sanitation surveys and send the inspection data to the sanitation management server (JP 2002-15077, etc.)

In addition, a tag that stores chicken information is attached to the container, and information on chicken eggs registered on the Internet can be accessed by reading the tag (JP 2006-55 108). Technology to perform hygiene management by carrying ID tag to person, reading ID number, and referring to information on server (JP 2005-107563), managing hygiene inspection information by server on network A system (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-15007) has been proposed.

[0049] However, the above-described technology merely aggregates data from each food factory that is the subject of the hygiene survey and makes a judgment on the results of the hygiene survey. When, where, and what in each food factory It cannot be said that the state of hygiene is accurate and cannot be accurately grasped.

In addition, when collecting the culture medium in the petri dish, it was very troublesome to store the petri dish (medium) in relation to the strength of which petri dish and the image.
