　あるいは、稼働状況情報は、食事関連家電製品の消費電力量を検知して取得されても良い。図２Ａは、消費電力量に関する情報である消費電力量情報から稼働状況情報を取得する処理の流れを示すフローチャートである。（ａ）は、調理が開始したことを判定するためのフローチャートの一例である。稼働状況情報取得部にて、消費電力量情報を繰り返し取得する。消費電力量が閾値以下である場合、非調理中と判定する。消費電力量が閾値を超えた場合、調理が開始したと判定する。（ｂ）は、調理開始後に、調理が終了したか否かを判定するためのフローチャートの一例である。消費電力量情報を繰り返し取得し、閾値以下となった場合には、調理が終了したと判定する。閾値を超えていれば、調理中であると判定する。 Alternatively, the operation status information may be acquired by detecting the power consumption of meal-related home appliances. FIG. 2A is a flowchart showing a flow of processing for acquiring operation status information from power consumption information that is information related to power consumption. (A) is an example of the flowchart for determining that cooking has started. The operating status information acquisition unit repeatedly acquires power consumption information. When the power consumption is equal to or less than the threshold value, it is determined that cooking is not being performed. When the power consumption exceeds the threshold, it is determined that cooking has started. (B) is an example of a flowchart for determining whether cooking is completed after cooking is started. When the power consumption information is repeatedly acquired and becomes equal to or less than the threshold value, it is determined that cooking is finished. If it exceeds the threshold, it is determined that cooking is in progress.
　これらの食事関連家電製品の操作や消費電力量に関する情報は、各食事関連家電製品から無線又は有線による通信で取得されても良いし、各食事関連家電製品がネットワークで接続されている場合には、食事関連家電製品が接続されているホームサーバから取得されても良い。 Information on the operation and power consumption of these meal-related home appliances may be obtained from each meal-related home appliance by wireless or wired communication, and when each meal-related home appliance is connected via a network It may be acquired from a home server to which a meal related home appliance is connected.
　「服薬指示生成部」は、服薬指示のタイミングを決定する。服薬指示のタイミングは、稼働状況情報取得部にて取得した稼動状況情報と、服薬指示のタイミングを決定するための所定のルールと、服薬スケジュールと、に基づいて決定される。 “The medication instruction generation unit” determines the timing of the medication instruction. The timing of the medication instruction is determined based on the operational status information acquired by the operational status information acquisition unit, a predetermined rule for determining the timing of the medication instruction, and the medication schedule.
　「服薬指示のタイミングを決定するための所定のルール」は、稼働状況情報と服薬スケジュールとに応じて服薬指示のタイミングを決定するための所定のルールである。「服薬スケジュール」は、食前服用、食後服用などを示す服薬のスケジュールである。服薬のスケジュールは、一般に、食前、食後、食間（食事と食事との間）といった具合に指定される場合が多い。以下、稼働状況情報と服薬スケジュールとに応じて服薬指示のタイミングを決定するためのルールの例を示す。
＜ルール例１＞服薬スケジュールが食前服用の場合には、調理開始時に「食事前服用」を促すよう服薬指示の表示をするというルールである。（あるいは、調理終了時／食事開始時に服薬指示の表示をするというルールであっても良い。）
＜ルール例２＞服薬スケジュールが、食後服用の場合には、調理終了時に「食事後服用」を促すよう服薬指示の表示をするというルールである。（あるいは、食事終了時に服薬指示の表示をするというルールであっても良い。）
＜ルール例３＞服薬スケジュールが食間の場合には、調理終了後（あるいは、食事開始後や食事終了後でも良い。）数時間を経過した際に、「食間服用」を促すよう服薬指示の表示をするというルールである。あるいは、調理終了時（食事開始時や食事終了時でも良い。）に「食事後、数時間してから服用」を促すよう服薬指示の表示をするというルールであっても良い。複数のルールを併用しても良い。 The “predetermined rule for determining the timing of the medication instruction” is a predetermined rule for determining the timing of the medication instruction according to the operation status information and the medication schedule. “Medication schedule” is a medication schedule indicating pre-meal, post-meal, etc. In general, medication schedules are often specified in the form of before meals, after meals, and between meals (between meals). Hereinafter, examples of rules for determining the timing of the medication instruction according to the operation status information and the medication schedule will be shown.
<Rule Example 1> When the medication schedule is pre-meal, the rule is that a medication instruction is displayed to prompt “pre-meal” at the start of cooking. (Alternatively, it may be a rule to display a medication instruction at the end of cooking / at the start of a meal.)
<Rule Example 2> If the medication schedule is taken after meals, the medication instruction is displayed so as to prompt “take after meal” at the end of cooking. (Alternatively, it may be a rule to display a medication instruction at the end of a meal.)
<Rule example 3> When the medication schedule is between meals, a medication instruction is displayed to prompt "take between meals" after several hours have passed after cooking is completed (or after meals or after meals are finished) It is a rule to do. Alternatively, it may be a rule that a medication instruction is displayed at the end of cooking (at the start of a meal or at the end of a meal) to prompt “take a few hours after a meal”. Multiple rules may be used in combination.
　図２Ｂは、この服薬指示のタイミングを決定するための所定のルールと、決定されたタイミングで服薬指示の表示を行う処理の流れの一例を示すフローチャートである。（ａ）→（ｂ）がルール例１に、（ａ）→（ｃ）がルール例２に、（ａ）→（ｄ）がルール例３にそれぞれ対応している。 FIG. 2B is a flowchart showing an example of a predetermined rule for determining the timing of the medication instruction and a processing flow for displaying the medication instruction at the determined timing. (A) → (b) corresponds to rule example 1, (a) → (c) corresponds to rule example 2, and (a) → (d) corresponds to rule example 3.
　服薬指示のタイミングを決定するための所定のルールは、複数の選択肢の中から選択可能となっていてもよい。例えば、早めに服薬指示の表示をする（調理開始時に、食事後服用を促すなど）こととしても良いし、服薬すべきタイミングとできるだけ近い時間に服薬指示の表示をする（食事後数時間経過してから食間服用を促すなど）こととしても良い。早めにディスプレイなどに視認可能な表示を行い、服薬すべきタイミングが到来したらアラーム音を鳴らすといったように、複数の服薬指示を併用しても良い。 The predetermined rule for determining the timing of medication instruction may be selectable from a plurality of options. For example, it may be possible to display a medication instruction as early as possible (prompt to take after meals at the start of cooking), or to display a medication instruction as close as possible to the timing of taking the drug (several hours after the meal has elapsed). It is also possible to encourage taking between meals later. A plurality of medication instructions may be used in combination such that a visible display is made on the display as soon as possible, and an alarm sound is sounded when the timing for medication has come.
　さらに、大人数の家族などで断続的に調理が発生する場合には、全員分の服薬指示のタイミングを、調理開始時と決定しても良い。家族構成、家族の起床時間、帰宅時間、就寝時間などの情報をさらにあわせて服薬指示のタイミングを決定しても良い。その他、同じ時間に服用すべき薬、あるいは、服用間隔を一定時間空けるべき薬については、前回服用時刻から所定時間を経過した時を服薬指示のタイミングとするといった具合に、稼働状況情報に基づかない服薬指示のタイミング決定をも併存して行われる場合もあることは当然である。 Furthermore, when cooking occurs intermittently in a large family, etc., the timing of taking medication for all may be determined as the start of cooking. The timing of taking medication may be determined by further combining information such as the family structure, family wake-up time, return time, and bedtime. Other medicines that should be taken at the same time or medicines that should be separated by a certain amount of time are not based on operational status information, such as when the prescribed time has elapsed since the previous time of taking the medicine. Of course, there may be cases where the timing of taking medication is also determined.
　また、服薬指示装置は、各人の携帯電話に関する情報を保持しており、携帯電話からの発信電波を受信している場合（在宅が推定される）に、所定のルールにしたがって、当該携帯電話と関連付けられた個人についての服薬指示の表示をすることとしても良い。この構成は、家族が複数いる場合など、服薬指示装置が複数人に対して服薬指示の表示をする場合に、在宅中の者を選択して服薬指示の表示をすることができる点で有用である。 In addition, the medication instruction device holds information about each person's mobile phone and, when receiving a radio wave from the mobile phone (presumed to be at home), the mobile phone according to a predetermined rule. It is good also as displaying the medication instruction | indication about the individual linked | related with. This configuration is useful in that when a medication instruction device displays a medication instruction to multiple people, such as when there are multiple families, it is possible to select a person at home and display the medication instruction. is there.
　服薬スケジュール保持部は、服薬スケジュールを保持する機能を有する。また、ルール保持部は、服薬指示のタイミングを決定するための所定のルールを保持する機能を有する。服薬スケジュール及び服薬指示のタイミングを決定するための所定のルールは、利用者により予め入力されることとしても良い。あるいは、医師又は薬剤師からの情報を通信回線によって取得することとしても良い。 The medication schedule holding unit has a function of holding a medication schedule. In addition, the rule holding unit has a function of holding a predetermined rule for determining the timing of medication instruction. The predetermined rule for determining the timing of the medication schedule and the medication instruction may be inputted in advance by the user. Alternatively, information from a doctor or pharmacist may be acquired through a communication line.
　また、服薬スケジュールは、薬の服用者の情報（氏名）、服用すべき薬の情報（名前、種類、薬の画像）、服薬に関する情報（薬を服用すべきタイミング、一回当たりに服用する薬の数、薬の残数）等の情報をあわせて保持していても良い。薬の名前、外観写真、個数などを服薬指示の際にあわせて表示することにより、薬の誤飲を防ぐことができる。
（服薬確認のための入力） In addition, the medication schedule includes information on the person taking the drug (name), information on the medicine to be taken (name, type, image of the medicine), information on the medication (when to take the medicine, the medicine to be taken once Information such as the number of drugs and the number of remaining drugs). By displaying the name, appearance photo, number, etc. of the medicine in accordance with the medication instruction, it is possible to prevent accidental ingestion of the medicine.
(Input for confirmation of medication)
　なお、本実施形態の服薬指示装置に必須の構成ではないが、利用者が服薬した場合に、薬を服用した旨の服薬確認情報を入力可能な構成であっても良い。これにより、薬を服用したことを忘れて過剰に服用してしまうのを避けることができる。また、服薬確認情報を医療機関や看護者、遠隔地の家族、保護者など（以下、「医療機関・保護者等」という。）に対して、送信可能な構成をさらに備えていても良い。
＜実施形態１：ハードウェア構成＞ In addition, although it is not a structure essential to the medication instruction | indication apparatus of this embodiment, when a user takes a medicine, the structure which can input the medication confirmation information to the effect of taking the medicine may be sufficient. Thereby, it is possible to avoid forgetting to take the medicine and taking it excessively. Moreover, the medicine confirmation information may be further transmitted to medical institutions, nurses, remote families, guardians (hereinafter referred to as “medical institutions / guardians”).

＜実施形態２：機能的構成＞ The medication instruction device of the present embodiment is based on the first embodiment. The medication instruction device of the present embodiment is further characterized in that it obtains operating status information from a HEMS (Home Energy Management System). The medication instruction device of the present embodiment can also utilize HEMS for medication instructions.
<Embodiment 2: Functional configuration>
　再び図１を参照する。本実施形態の服薬指示装置（０１０１）は、稼動状況情報取得部（０１０２）と、服薬指示生成部（０１０３）と、服薬スケジュール保持部（０１０４）と、ルール保持部（０１０５）と、からなる。稼働状況情報取得部、服薬指示生成部、服薬スケジュール保持部、ルール保持部については、以下に述べる点を除き、実施形態１と同様である。 Refer to FIG. 1 again. The medication instruction device (0101) of this embodiment includes an operation status information acquisition unit (0102), a medication instruction generation unit (0103), a medication schedule holding unit (0104), and a rule holding unit (0105). . The operating status information acquisition unit, the medication instruction generating unit, the medication schedule holding unit, and the rule holding unit are the same as in the first embodiment except for the points described below.
　本実施形態の服薬指示装置の稼働状況情報取得部は、ＨＥＭＳから稼働状況情報を取得する。「ＨＥＭＳ」とは、住宅のエネルギー消費機器である複数の家電機器や給湯機器を、ネットワークでつなぎ、自動制御するシステムである。建物全体のエネルギー供給や需要の状況を総合的に把握し、機器や設備の運転を効率的に行い、総合的に省エネルギーを実現するためのシステムとして注目されている。ＨＥＭＳは、建物全体のエネルギー需要の状況を把握するため、エネルギー消費機器である複数の家電機器や給湯機器でのエネルギーの消費状況をモニタリングしている。そこで、ＨＥＭＳによるモニタリングによって取得された食事関連家電製品のエネルギーの消費状況（消費電力量など）を稼働状況情報取得部により取得する。
（ＨＥＭＳ活用例） The operating status information acquisition unit of the medication instruction device of the present embodiment acquires operating status information from the HEMS. “HEMS” is a system in which a plurality of home appliances and hot water supply devices, which are energy consuming devices in a house, are connected via a network and automatically controlled. It is attracting attention as a system for comprehensively grasping the energy supply and demand situation of the whole building, efficiently operating equipment and facilities, and realizing energy saving comprehensively. HEMS monitors the energy consumption status of a plurality of home appliances and hot water supply devices, which are energy consuming devices, in order to grasp the energy demand status of the entire building. Therefore, the operating status information acquisition unit acquires the energy consumption status (power consumption, etc.) of the meal-related home appliances acquired by monitoring with HEMS.
(Example of using HEMS)
　なお、例えば、薬を服用した旨の服薬確認情報が利用者から入力される前に、家庭全体の消費電力量が一定値以下に低下した場合には、薬を飲み忘れた状態で就寝しようとしていることが推測される。そこで、このように、薬を服用した旨の服薬確認情報の入力がないまま、家庭全体の消費電力量が一定値以下に低下した場合には、「薬を飲み忘れていませんか？」などのリマインド表示をさらに行うこととしても良い。
＜実施形態２：効果＞ In addition, for example, if the consumption power of the whole household falls below a certain value before the medication confirmation information indicating that the medication has been taken, the user tries to go to bed in the state where he / she forgot to take the medication. I guess that. Therefore, if the power consumption of the entire household falls below a certain level without entering medication confirmation information indicating that the medication has been taken, "Did you forget to take the medicine?" The reminder display may be further performed.
<Embodiment 2: Effect>
