Specifically, when the execution information is input to the input unit 19 and the period indicated by the “frequency” of the action in the user information has elapsed after ⁇ is stored in the “execution” item, the “execution” item ⁇ is deleted. For example, since the “frequency” is “daily” in the action of washing with “ID” of 3, “ ⁇ ” is stored in the “execution” item, and after 24 hours, “ ⁇ ” is erased and is not executed. .
- the period (predetermined period) at which the “execution” item in the action list is reset may be an average period without being associated with the user information.
- the behavior recommendation device 1b starts a process (behavior recommendation process 3) illustrated in FIG. 10 when a request regarding the user's power usage is acquired or when the user performs an operation of displaying information for recommending a behavior.

- the recommended information generation unit 14 refers to the “execution” item in the behavior list, and extracts the behavior that can be predicted to be executed by the user from the behavior extracted in step S55 based on the behavior habit. Specifically, an action in which the “execution” column is not “ ⁇ ” in the action list (not yet executed) is extracted (step S56).
- the recommended information generation unit 14 further selects the actions extracted based on the behavior habits. Specifically, it is determined whether the pre-prediction period is a weekday or a weekend (step S57). When it is a weekday (step S57; YES), the recommended information generation unit 14 can execute the forecasted first half of the weekday action from the action extracted in step S56 with reference to the item “weekday / weekend” of the user information.

Are extracted as actions in the pre-prediction period (step S69). For example, in the example of FIG. 9A, since the prediction period (tomorrow) is Monday, the period before prediction (today) is Sunday. Therefore, the recommended information generation unit 14 determines that it is a weekend, extracts bath cleanings whose “ID” is 8 performed on the weekend out of the actions whose “ID” is 2, 6, and 8, and the period before prediction Let's take action.

Here, the behavior in the pre-prediction period extracted in step 69 is determined to be executed, and the item “execution” in the behavior list is temporarily set to “ ⁇ ”. The recommended information generation unit 14 determines that the bath cleaning extracted as the behavior of the pre-prediction period is executed, but since the frequency is every day, the recommended information generation unit 14 determines that it is not executed tomorrow. Further, among the actions with “ID” 3, 5, and 9 currently being executed, the action with “ID” 3 is determined to be not executed tomorrow because the frequency is daily.
- the recommended information generation unit 14 extracts the actions having “ID” of 2, 6, 8, and 9 in step S70, the recommended information generation unit 14 sets “ID” of 2, 6, 8, and 8 in an unexecuted state. Extract behaviors.

Specifically, it is determined whether the prediction period is a weekday or a weekend (step S72). If it is a weekday (step S72; YES), the recommended information generation unit 14 refers to the item “weekdays / weekends” in the user information, and can be executed in the prediction period by the weekday behavior from the behavior extracted in step S71. The behavior is extracted as the behavior of the pre-prediction period (step S73). For example, in the example of FIG.

本発明の実施の形態1に係る行動推奨システム100は、図1に示すように、行動推奨装置1、蓄電池2および発電装置3から構成される。発電装置3は、小型風力発電機、小型ガソリン発電機等の自家発電装置である。本実施形態では、発電装置3はユーザの家の屋根に取り付けられた太陽光パネルとする。発電装置3は、発電した電力を蓄電池2に供給する。
また、蓄電池2は、電力残量を計測する残量計を備えている。本実施形態では、蓄電池2は、図1のようにユーザの家庭内に設置されるものの他、電気自動車に搭載される蓄電池を含むとする。
本実施形態では予測情報取得部11は、予測情報として、インターネットから図3(a)に示すような天気予報(予測期間中の発電装置3の地域)の情報を取得する。図3(a)の予測情報は、ユーザの家が所在する地域(発電装置3が所在する地域)の予測期間の天気が晴れであると予測されることを示している。なお、予測情報としての天気予報は、明日の天気予報に限らず、時間単位の天気予報でもよいし、1週間単位の天気予報でもよい。
電力残量取得部12が蓄電池2の残量計から取得する電力残量は、例えば図3(c)のように、電力残量の値(2.00kWh)と、満充電の状態(10.00kWh)と対比した残り容量(8.00kWh)の情報を含む。
推奨情報生成部14は、予測前期間及び予測期間に取る行動として、抽出した組み合わせの行動を実行することを推奨する推奨情報を生成し、表示部15に送る。推奨情報は、所定の推奨テンプレートに抽出した組み合わせをはめ込んで生成される文書であってもよいし、抽出した組み合わせを強調表示したスケジュール表であってもよい。あるいは、音声情報で有ってもよい。
行動推奨処理1では、行動推奨装置1の予測情報取得部11が、図3(a)のようなインターネットを介して予測情報(ユーザの家が所在する地域の予測期間の天気予報)を取得する(ステップS11)。
一方、発電量が多いと予測した場合(ステップS13;YES)、推奨情報生成部14は、発電した電力を蓄電池2に蓄積できるか判別する。具体的には、電力残量取得部12が取得した電力残量の値が所定の閾値より大きいか否かを判定する(ステップS14)。閾値は、工場出荷時に設定された値であってもよいし、ユーザが指定する値でもよい。
たとえば、閾値が5.00kWhであり、図3(b)のように2.00kWhの電力残量があるとすると、電力残量の値が所定の値以下であると判別される。閾値はこれに限らず「0」でもよい。
一方、電力残量の値が所定の値より大きい場合(ステップS14;YES)、電力の効率的な利用の為には予測期間において発電される電力を蓄積するための容量を確保する必要がある。そこで、推奨情報生成部14は、行動リスト記憶部13が記憶する行動リストから、予測前期間の推奨行動として電力を消費する行動を抽出する(ステップS15)。図3(d)の行動リストでは、「消費有無」の項目が○である「ID」1、3、4、5、7、10の行動が抽出される。推奨情報生成部14は、予測前期間の行動として1以上の行動を抽出する。このとき、所定の評価基準(ここでは、電力を消費する行動)に適合する行動が、行動リストになかった場合は、推奨情報生成部14は、エラーを表示する推奨情報を生成し、表示部15に表示させてもよい。
さらに、蓄電池2が使用可能であることが条件に含まれる。例えば、蓄電池2が電気自動車に搭載されている場合、電気自動車を使用すると発電装置3が発電した電力を蓄電池2に蓄電することができないので、行動期間中に電気自動車が蓄電池2に接続されることが条件に含まれる。この場合、図3(d)の行動リストから、「消費有無」の項目が×であって電気自動車を使わない行動(「ID」2、6、8、9の行動)が抽出される。推奨情報生成部14は、予測期間の行動として1以上の行動を抽出する。このとき、所定の評価基準(ここでは、蓄電する行動)に適合する行動が、行動リストになかった場合は、推奨情報生成部14は、エラーを表示する推奨情報を生成し、表示部15に表示させてもよい。
推奨情報が表示部15に表示されると、予測情報取得部11は、予測期間が経過したか否かを判定する(ステップS19)。予測期間が経過していない場合(ステップS19;NO)、ステップS19を繰り返す。
一方、予測期間が経過すると(ステップS19;YES)、次の予測期間についてステップS11に戻り、ステップS11~ステップS19を繰り返す。
このように、本実施の形態1の行動推奨システム100は、行動電力の効率的利用に関心が高いユーザに対して、有効に行動を推奨できる。ユーザは、現在の蓄電量や将来の発電量を自ら確認せずとも、推奨された行動を実行するだけで電力効率を向上することができる。即ち、電力効率が高い行動を実行するにあたって、負担がかからない。
次に、本発明の実施の形態2について説明する。
図5に示すように、実施の形態2の行動推奨装置1aは、実施の形態1の行動推奨装置1の構成に加えて、要求取得部16および判定部17を備える。
要求取得部16は、取得した要求を判定部17に送る。
推奨情報生成部14は、抽出した予測期間の行動と予測前期間の行動との組み合わせを表示する推奨情報を生成し、表示部15に送る。
判定部17は、要求期間が経過すると、要求期間のユーザの電力使用の実績を示すデータを取得し、これに基づいて要求取得部16が取得した要求を満たしたか否かを判定する。要求を満たさなかったと判定した場合、判定部17は、要求を満たさなかったことを示す情報を推奨情報生成部14に送る。
行動推奨装置1aは、ユーザの電力使用に関する要求を取得するか、ユーザが行動を推奨する情報を表示する操作を実行すると、図7に示す処理(行動推奨処理2)を開始する。
行動推奨処理2では、まず要求取得部16が、ユーザの電力使用に関する要求を取得する(ステップS31)。
そして、推奨情報生成部14は、電力残量の値が閾値Xよりも大きいか否かを判定する(ステップS35)。ここでは、閾値X=蓄電池2の最大蓄電量の値-予測期間の発電量の値とする。電力残量の値が閾値Xよりも大きい場合(ステップS35;YES)、推奨情報生成部14は、行動リスト記憶部13が記憶する行動リストから、閾値Xより超過している分の電力を消費する行動で、要求前期間に実行可能な行動を要求前期間の行動として抽出する(ステップS36)。
買電力量=行動消費電力量-要求期間開始時の予想蓄電量+要求期間の予測発電量…(1)
なお、予想蓄電量は、現在の蓄電量-要求前期間の推奨行動による消費電力量とすることが出来る。即ち、ステップS37行動リストに登録された行動のうち、消費電力量が式(1)で求めた買電力量が要求量よりも小さくなる行動を抽出する。なお、蓄電池2が電気自動車に搭載されている場合は、抽出条件として電気自動車を使用しないことが含まれる。
そして、推奨情報生成部14は、推奨情報を表示部15に表示させる(ステップS41)。
表示が終わると、予測情報取得部11は、予測期間が経過したか否かを判定する(ステップS42)。
予測期間が経過すると(ステップS42;YES)、ステップS31に戻り、ステップS31~ステップS42を繰り返す。予測期間が経過していない場合(ステップS42;NO)、判定部17は、要求期間が経過したか否かを判定する(ステップS43)。
次に、本発明の実施の形態3に係る行動推奨装置1bについて説明する。行動推奨装置1bは、実施の形態1の行動推奨装置1の構成に加えて、ユーザ情報記憶部18および入力部19を備える。
図9(d)の例では、ユーザ情報は、行動を識別する「ID」と、平日に行われる行動であるか週末に行われる行動であるかを示す「平日/週末」と、行動の内容を示す「行動」と、該行動が行われる頻度を示す「頻度」の項目で構成される。「ID」と「行動」は行動リストと同一である。「平日/週末」の項目は、平日ならば平日のみ行われることを示し、週末ならば週末のみ行われることを示し、平日・週末ならば、両方とも行われることを示す。たとえば、「ID」が1の電気自動車で通勤するという行動は、平日に毎日行われる。
なお、行動リストの「実行」の項目がリセットされる周期(所定期間)は、ユーザ情報に関連付けず、平均的な周期としてもよい。
行動推奨装置1bは、ユーザの電力使用に関する要求を取得するか、ユーザが行動を推奨する情報を表示する操作を実行すると、図10に示す処理(行動推奨処理3)を開始する。
行動推奨処理3では、まず行動推奨装置1bの予測情報取得部11が予測情報を取得する。具体的には、インターネットを介してユーザの家が所在する地域の予測期間の天気予報を取得する(ステップS51)。
そして、推奨情報生成部14が、電力残量の値が閾値Xよりも大きいか否かを判定する(ステップS54)。ここでは、閾値X=蓄電池2の最大蓄電量の値-予測期間の発電量の値とする。
電力残量の値が閾値Xよりも大きい場合(ステップS54;YES)、予測期間に発電される電力を蓄電するための容量を確保する必要がある。そこで、推奨情報生成部14は、行動リスト記憶部13が記憶する行動リストから、閾値Xより超過している分の電力を消費する行動を予測前期間の推奨行動の候補として抽出する(ステップS55)。
具体的には、行動リストにおいて「実行」の欄が「○」でない(まだ実行していない)行動を抽出する(ステップS56)。
図9(c)の例では、推奨情報生成部14は、行動消費電力量が0kWhの「ID」が2、6、8、9の行動を抽出する。なお、電気自動車に蓄電池2が搭載されており、電力会社から電力を購入する場合は、推奨情報生成部14は、電気自動車を使用しない「ID」が2、3、4、6、7、8、9、10の行動を抽出する。
平日である場合(ステップS72;YES)、推奨情報生成部14は、ユーザ情報の「平日/週末」の項目を参照し、ステップS71で抽出した行動から、平日の行動で予測期間に実行可能な行動を予測前期間の行動として抽出する(ステップS73)。
たとえば、図9(a)の例では、予測期間(明日)が月曜日であるので、推奨情報生成部14は、平日であると判定し、「ID」が2、6、8の行動のうち、平日に実行される「ID」が2の電車で通勤すると、8の風呂掃除とを抽出し、予測期間の行動とする。
さらに、発電装置3を外部電源として、外部電源を確保出来る場合は発電量が多いと判定し、確保出来ない場合は発電量が小さいと判定することも可能である。
