　以下、本発明を実施するための形態（以下、実施の形態と称する）について説明する。 Hereinafter, modes for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter referred to as embodiments) will be described.
　＜１．第１の実施の形態＞
　［情報システムの概要］
　図１は、本発明の実施の形態における情報システムの一例の概要を示す図である。ここでは、機器として浄水器１０を想定する。この浄水器１０の本体は、水道水などを浄化するための交換フィルタを備えている。ユーザはその消耗の度合いに応じてこの交換フィルタを交換する必要がある。 <1. First Embodiment>
[Outline of information system]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of an example of an information system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Here, the water purifier 10 is assumed as an apparatus. The main body of the water purifier 10 includes an exchange filter for purifying tap water and the like. The user needs to replace the replacement filter according to the degree of wear.
　浄水器１０において、例えば上部に状態量表示装置１００を付加することにより、浄水器１０の状態量を表示する。ここでは、状態量として交換フィルタの消耗の度合いを想定する。後述するように、浄水器１０が使用された回数を検出することにより、交換フィルタの消耗の度合いを推定することができる。ユーザはこの状態量表示装置１００による表示を目視することにより、現在の交換フィルタの消耗の度合いを把握することができる。しかし、ユーザが毎度その表示を目視するとは限らないため、交換フィルタの交換タイミングを逃してしまうおそれがある。 In the water purifier 10, for example, the state quantity of the water purifier 10 is displayed by adding the state quantity display device 100 to the upper part. Here, the degree of consumption of the replacement filter is assumed as the state quantity. As will be described later, the degree of wear of the replacement filter can be estimated by detecting the number of times the water purifier 10 has been used. The user can grasp the current degree of wear of the replacement filter by visually observing the display by the state quantity display device 100. However, since the user does not always observe the display every time, there is a possibility that the replacement timing of the replacement filter may be missed.
　そこで、本発明の実施の形態では、状態量表示装置１００の状態量が交換タイミングを示す所定量である旨を、携帯端末３００に提示する。状態量表示装置１００は、本来は通信機能を有しないものであり、これに対して、後述する通信モジュールを付加することにより情報の送信を可能にする。 Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the portable terminal 300 is notified that the state quantity of the state quantity display device 100 is a predetermined quantity indicating the replacement timing. The state quantity display device 100 originally does not have a communication function, and on the other hand, it is possible to transmit information by adding a communication module to be described later.
　［状態量表示装置］
　図２は、本発明の実施の形態における浄水器１０の外観例を示す図である。状態量表示装置１００は、この浄水器１０の上部に設けられる。状態量表示装置１００の表面には表示部１９０が設けられており、この表示部１９０によって交換フィルタの消耗の度合いを表示する。 [State quantity display device]
Drawing 2 is a figure showing an example of appearance of water purifier 10 in an embodiment of the invention. The state quantity display device 100 is provided in the upper part of the water purifier 10. A display unit 190 is provided on the surface of the state quantity display device 100, and the display unit 190 displays the degree of consumption of the replacement filter.
　図３は、本発明の実施の形態における表示部１９０の表示例を示す図である。この例では、交換フィルタの消耗の度合いを示すために、未使用の状態で「１００％」を、最大限使用された状態で「０％」をそれぞれ示すものとして、「１００％」、「８０％」、「６０％」、「４０％」、「２０％」、「０％」の６段階の表示を行うことができるようになっている。ここで、例えば「０％」の表示になったときに、交換タイミングを示す旨を検出する。また、余裕を見て、「２０％」の表示になったときに、交換タイミングを示す旨を検出するようにしてもよい。 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a display example of the display unit 190 in the embodiment of the present invention. In this example, in order to indicate the degree of wear of the replacement filter, it is assumed that “100%” indicates “100%” in the unused state and “0%” indicates that the replacement filter is fully used. It is possible to perform display in six levels of “%”, “60%”, “40%”, “20%”, and “0%”. Here, for example, when “0%” is displayed, it is detected that the replacement timing is indicated. Further, it is possible to detect that the replacement timing is indicated when the display shows “20%” with a margin.
　図４は、本発明の実施の形態における状態量表示装置１００と通信モジュール２００の構成例を示す図である。 FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the state quantity display device 100 and the communication module 200 in the embodiment of the present invention.
　状態量表示装置１００は、浄水器１０の状態量を表示するものである。この状態量表示装置１００は、蓋開閉検出部１１０（開閉検出部）と、制御部１２０と、信号生成部１３０と、表示部１９０とを備える。 The state quantity display device 100 displays the state quantity of the water purifier 10. The state quantity display device 100 includes a lid open / close detection unit 110 (open / close detection unit), a control unit 120, a signal generation unit 130, and a display unit 190.
　蓋開閉検出部１１０は、浄水器１０の蓋の開閉を検出するセンサーである。浄水器１０には、本体内に貯蔵した水を外部に注ぐための注水口を有しており、この注水口の上部には蓋が設けられている。ユーザが浄水器１０を傾けることにより蓋が開閉するようになっている。この蓋には例えばマグネティックセンサーが設置される。このマグネティックセンサーは、蓋の開閉を検知するものであり、その検知結果から蓋の開閉回数をカウントできるようになっている。 The lid open / close detection unit 110 is a sensor that detects opening / closing of the lid of the water purifier 10. The water purifier 10 has a water inlet for pouring the water stored in the main body to the outside, and a lid is provided above the water inlet. The lid opens and closes when the user tilts the water purifier 10. For example, a magnetic sensor is installed on the lid. This magnetic sensor detects the opening and closing of the lid, and the number of times of opening and closing the lid can be counted from the detection result.
　制御部１２０は、蓋開閉検出部１１０によって検出された蓋の開閉の検知結果を受けて、蓋の開閉回数をカウントするものである。制御部１２０は、この蓋の開閉回数に基づいて、交換フィルタの消耗の度合いを推定する。例えば、上述のように、６段階の表示を想定して、いずれの状態量であるかを信号生成部１３０に供給する。 The control unit 120 receives the lid opening / closing detection result detected by the lid opening / closing detection unit 110 and counts the number of times the lid is opened / closed. The control unit 120 estimates the degree of wear of the replacement filter based on the number of times the lid is opened and closed. For example, as described above, it is assumed that there are six levels of display and the state quantities are supplied to the signal generation unit 130.
　信号生成部１３０は、制御部１２０から供給された状態量に基づいて、表示部１９０に対する制御信号を生成して、信号線１３９に出力するものである。 The signal generation unit 130 generates a control signal for the display unit 190 based on the state quantity supplied from the control unit 120 and outputs the control signal to the signal line 139.
　表示部１９０は、浄水器１０の交換フィルタの消耗の度合いを示すために、状態量を表示するものである。この表示部１９０における表示内容は、例えば図３により示したものであり、それぞれの段階に対応して信号線１３９が設けられている。 The display unit 190 displays a state quantity in order to indicate the degree of consumption of the replacement filter of the water purifier 10. The display content on the display unit 190 is as shown in FIG. 3, for example, and a signal line 139 is provided corresponding to each stage.
　通信モジュール２００は、状態量表示装置１００における状態量が所定量になった旨を検出して無線信号として送信するものである。この通信モジュール２００は、例えば、通信システムＬＳＩとして実現することができる。この通信モジュール２００は、信号取得部２１０と、信号変換部２２０と、送信部２３０と、処理部２４０と、メモリ２５０とを備える。なお、信号取得部２１０および信号変換部２２０が検出部に相当する。 The communication module 200 detects that the state quantity in the state quantity display device 100 has reached a predetermined amount and transmits it as a radio signal. The communication module 200 can be realized as a communication system LSI, for example. The communication module 200 includes a signal acquisition unit 210, a signal conversion unit 220, a transmission unit 230, a processing unit 240, and a memory 250. The signal acquisition unit 210 and the signal conversion unit 220 correspond to a detection unit.
　信号取得部２１０は、状態量表示装置１００の信号線１３９から状態量を示す信号を取得するものである。 The signal acquisition unit 210 acquires a signal indicating a state quantity from the signal line 139 of the state quantity display device 100.
　信号変換部２２０は、信号取得部２１０によって取得された状態量を示す信号から、状態量が所定量（所定の閾値）になった旨を検出して、検出情報として生成するものである。なお、この例では、通信モジュール２００において所定量になった旨を検出するものとしているが、この検出は状態量表示装置１００において行うようにしてもよい。 The signal converter 220 detects that the state quantity has reached a predetermined amount (predetermined threshold) from the signal indicating the state quantity acquired by the signal acquisition unit 210, and generates detection information. In this example, the communication module 200 detects that the predetermined amount has been reached, but this detection may be performed by the state quantity display device 100.
　メモリ２５０は、通信モジュール２００が動作するために必要なデータ等を記憶するメモリである。例えば、このメモリ２５０は、通信モジュール２００を識別するための通信モジュール識別情報２４１を記憶する。 The memory 250 is a memory that stores data necessary for the communication module 200 to operate. For example, the memory 250 stores communication module identification information 241 for identifying the communication module 200.
　処理部２４０は、通信モジュール２００が動作するために必要な処理を行うものである。例えば、この処理部２４０は、メモリ２５０から通信モジュール識別情報２４１を読み出して送信部２３０に供給する。 The processing unit 240 performs processing necessary for the communication module 200 to operate. For example, the processing unit 240 reads the communication module identification information 241 from the memory 250 and supplies the communication module identification information 241 to the transmission unit 230.
　送信部２３０は、処理部２４０から供給された通信モジュール識別情報２４１および信号変換部２２０によって生成された検出情報を、無線信号として携帯端末３００に送信するものである。 The transmission unit 230 transmits the communication module identification information 241 supplied from the processing unit 240 and the detection information generated by the signal conversion unit 220 to the portable terminal 300 as a radio signal.
　図５は、本発明の実施の形態における状態量表示装置１００と通信モジュール２００の関係例を示す図である。 FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the relationship between the state quantity display device 100 and the communication module 200 in the embodiment of the present invention.
　信号生成部１３０から表示部１９０に対する信号線１３９が６段階の表示の各々に１本ずつ存在して、所定量を示す表示信号のオンまたはオフを監視すれば足りる場合には、通信モジュール２００は、図５（ａ）のように信号線１３９の１本のみと接続される。この場合、通信モジュール２００の信号変換部２２０は、信号線１３９の該当する１本の信号がオンまたはオフになったことによって、状態量が所定量になったことを検出する。 In the case where there is one signal line 139 from the signal generation unit 130 to the display unit 190 for each of the six stages of display, and it is sufficient to monitor the on / off of the display signal indicating a predetermined amount, the communication module 200 As shown in FIG. 5A, only one signal line 139 is connected. In this case, the signal conversion unit 220 of the communication module 200 detects that the state quantity has reached a predetermined quantity when one corresponding signal on the signal line 139 is turned on or off.
　一方、信号生成部１３０から表示部１９０に対する信号線１３９のうち２本の電位差によって、所定量を示す表示信号が表される場合には、通信モジュール２００は、図５（ｂ）のように信号線１３９の２本と接続される。この場合、６段階の表示のうち所定量を示すものがＣＯＭＭＯＮ信号（ＣＯＭ信号）とＳＥＧＭＥＮＴ信号（ＳＥＧ信号）により表されるものとして、図６（ａ）のように両者間の電位が等しく電位差がゼロの場合には消灯、図６（ｂ）のように両者間の電位が異なって電位差がゼロでない場合には点灯するものと定義することができる。これにより、通信モジュール２００の信号変換部２２０は、ＣＯＭ信号とＳＥＧ信号の電位差を検出することにより、状態量が所定量になったことを検出する。 On the other hand, when a display signal indicating a predetermined amount is represented by a potential difference between two of the signal lines 139 from the signal generation unit 130 to the display unit 190, the communication module 200 displays the signal as shown in FIG. Two lines 139 are connected. In this case, it is assumed that a predetermined amount of the six levels of display is represented by a COMMON signal (COM signal) and a SEGMENT signal (SEG signal). As shown in FIG. It can be defined that the light is turned off when is zero, and the light is turned on when the potential difference between them is different and the potential difference is not zero as shown in FIG. Thereby, the signal converter 220 of the communication module 200 detects that the state quantity has reached a predetermined quantity by detecting the potential difference between the COM signal and the SEG signal.
　これら信号生成部１３０によって生成される信号の形式は様々なものが考えられるが、本発明においてはいずれの形式を採用してもよい。 Various forms of signals generated by the signal generation unit 130 are conceivable, but any form may be adopted in the present invention.

　サーバ６００は、携帯端末３００に提示する情報を管理するためのサーバである。このサーバ６００は、サーバメモリ６２０と、処理部６３０と、端末通信部６５０とを備える。 The server 600 is a server for managing information presented on the mobile terminal 300. The server 600 includes a server memory 620, a processing unit 630, and a terminal communication unit 650.
　処理部６３０は、サーバ６００が動作するために必要な処理を行うものである。サーバメモリ６２０は、サーバ６００が動作するために必要なデータ等を記憶するメモリである。例えば、このサーバメモリ６２０は、次図により説明する対応情報データベース６４０を記憶して、携帯端末３００に提示する情報を管理する。端末通信部６５０は、ネットワーク５００を介して携帯端末３００との通信を行うものである。 The processing unit 630 performs processing necessary for the server 600 to operate.

　［動作］
　図９は、本発明の第１の実施の形態における情報システムの処理手順例を示すシーケンス図である。 [Operation]
FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of a processing procedure of the information system according to the first embodiment of this invention.
　まず、状態量表示装置１００の電源が投入されると（Ｓ８１１）、通信モジュール２００による監視が行われて、信号取得部２１０によって例えばＣＯＭ信号とＳＥＧ信号が取得される（Ｓ８２１）。状態量表示装置１００の蓋開閉検出部１１０において蓋の開閉が検出されると（Ｓ８１２）、制御部１２０は蓋の開閉回数を算出し、蓋の開閉回数から、フィルタの消耗度合いを算出する（Ｓ８１３）。そして、フィルタの消耗度合いが閾値以下である場合には、信号生成部１３０は閾値に対応するＳＥＧ信号の位相をＣＯＭ信号とは異なるものにする（Ｓ８１４）。表示部１９０は、状態量を示すセグメント表示（表示領域）を、フィルタの消耗度合いに応じて点灯させる（Ｓ８１５）。 First, when the power of the state quantity display device 100 is turned on (S811), monitoring by the communication module 200 is performed, and for example, the COM signal and the SEG signal are acquired by the signal acquisition unit 210 (S821). When the lid opening / closing detection unit 110 of the state quantity display device 100 detects the opening / closing of the lid (S812), the control unit 120 calculates the number of times of opening / closing the lid, and calculates the degree of consumption of the filter from the number of times of opening / closing the lid ( S813). If the degree of consumption of the filter is equal to or less than the threshold, the signal generation unit 130 sets the phase of the SEG signal corresponding to the threshold different from that of the COM signal (S814). The display unit 190 lights the segment display (display area) indicating the state quantity according to the degree of filter consumption (S815).
　状態量表示装置１００における表示動作と並行して、通信モジュール２００では、信号変換部２２０が、表示部１９０に閾値を示す表示信号が現れた旨を検出する（Ｓ８２２）。そして、送信部２３０が、その検出情報と通信モジュール２００の識別情報とを無線信号として携帯端末３００に送信する。 In parallel with the display operation in the state quantity display device 100, in the communication module 200, the signal conversion unit 220 detects that a display signal indicating a threshold value has appeared on the display unit 190 (S822). And the transmission part 230 transmits the detection information and the identification information of the communication module 200 to the portable terminal 300 as a radio signal.
　携帯端末３００は、通信モジュール２００から送信された、検出情報と通信モジュール２００の識別情報とを含む無線信号を受信部３１０によって受信すると（Ｓ８３１）、サーバ通信部３５０によって通信モジュール２００の識別情報をサーバ６００に送信して問合せを行う（Ｓ８３２）。 When the mobile terminal 300 receives the wireless signal including the detection information and the identification information of the communication module 200 transmitted from the communication module 200 by the receiving unit 310 (S831), the server communication unit 350 receives the identification information of the communication module 200. An inquiry is sent to the server 600 (S832).
　サーバ６００は、端末通信部６５０によって携帯端末３００からの問合せを受信すると（Ｓ８４１）、通信モジュール２００の識別情報に対応する提示情報を対応情報データベース６４０において検索して、携帯端末３００に返送する（Ｓ８４２）。 When the server 600 receives an inquiry from the mobile terminal 300 through the terminal communication unit 650 (S841), the server 600 searches the correspondence information database 640 for presentation information corresponding to the identification information of the communication module 200, and returns it to the mobile terminal 300 ( S842).
　携帯端末３００は、サーバ６００から提示情報を受信すると（Ｓ８３３）、その提示情報を提示部３４０に提示させる（Ｓ８３４）。 When the portable terminal 300 receives the presentation information from the server 600 (S833), the portable terminal 300 causes the presentation unit 340 to present the presentation information (S834).
　このように、本発明の第１の実施の形態によれば、状態量表示装置１００の状態量が所定量になった旨を通信モジュール２００によって携帯端末３００に送信し、通信モジュール２００に基づいてサーバ６００に提示情報を問い合わせることにより、適切な情報をユーザに提示することができる。なお、本発明の第１の実施の形態では、蓋の開閉回数に基づいてフィルタの消耗度合いを算出しているが、タイマーを設けて、そのタイマーの示す使用時間に基づいてフィルタの消耗度合いを算出する等の手法を採用してもよい。 As described above, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the communication module 200 transmits to the portable terminal 300 that the state quantity of the state quantity display device 100 has reached the predetermined quantity, and based on the communication module 200. By inquiring the server 600 for presentation information, appropriate information can be presented to the user. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the degree of consumption of the filter is calculated based on the number of times the lid is opened and closed. However, a timer is provided, and the degree of consumption of the filter is determined based on the usage time indicated by the timer. A technique such as calculation may be employed.
　＜２．第２の実施の形態＞
　上述の第１の実施の形態では、携帯端末３００が提示情報をサーバ６００に問い合わせていたが、提示情報を携帯端末３００が認識している場合には問合せを行うことなく、ユーザに情報を提示してもよい。この第２の実施の形態では、携帯端末３００がサーバ６００に問合せをすることなく、状態量表示装置１００の状態量が所定量になった旨を提示する。 <2. Second Embodiment>
In the first embodiment described above, the mobile terminal 300 inquires the server 600 for the presentation information, but when the mobile terminal 300 recognizes the presentation information, the information is presented to the user without making an inquiry. May be. In the second embodiment, the mobile terminal 300 presents that the state quantity of the state quantity display device 100 has reached a predetermined quantity without making an inquiry to the server 600.

　まず、状態量表示装置１００の電源が投入（Ｓ８５１）された後に、状態量表示装置１００の蓋開閉検出部１１０において蓋の開閉が検出されると（Ｓ８５２）、制御部１２０は蓋の開閉回数を算出する（Ｓ８５３）。そして、信号生成部１３０は蓋の開閉回数に応じた信号を生成する（Ｓ８５４）。表示部１９０は、状態量を示すセグメント表示を、蓋の開閉回数に応じて点灯させる（Ｓ８５５）。 First, after the state quantity display device 100 is turned on (S851), when the lid opening / closing detection unit 110 of the state quantity display device 100 detects opening / closing of the lid (S852), the control unit 120 counts the number of times the lid is opened / closed. Is calculated (S853). Then, the signal generation unit 130 generates a signal corresponding to the number of times the lid is opened and closed (S854). The display unit 190 turns on the segment display indicating the state quantity according to the number of times the lid is opened and closed (S855).
　通信モジュール２００は、信号生成部１３０によって生成された信号を監視して、信号取得部２１０によって例えば閾値である数値に対応する信号が取得される（Ｓ８６１）。そして、信号変換部２２０が閾値である数値に対応する信号を検出すると（Ｓ８６２）、送信部２３０が、その検出情報と通信モジュール２００の識別情報とを無線信号として携帯端末３００に送信する。 The communication module 200 monitors the signal generated by the signal generation unit 130, and the signal acquisition unit 210 acquires a signal corresponding to, for example, a threshold value (S861). When the signal conversion unit 220 detects a signal corresponding to the threshold value (S862), the transmission unit 230 transmits the detection information and the identification information of the communication module 200 to the portable terminal 300 as a radio signal.
　携帯端末３００は、通信モジュール２００から送信された、検出情報と通信モジュール２００の識別情報とを含む無線信号を受信部３１０によって受信すると（Ｓ８７１）、通信モジュール２００から受信した通信モジュール識別情報と、アプリケーション記憶部４１０に記憶されている通信モジュール識別情報４１１とが一致しているか否かを判定する（Ｓ８７２）。そして、両者が一致している場合には、予め用意された提示情報として、フィルタ交換が必要である旨を提示部３４０に提示させる（Ｓ８７３）。 When the mobile terminal 300 receives the wireless signal including the detection information and the identification information of the communication module 200 transmitted from the communication module 200 by the receiving unit 310 (S871), the communication module identification information received from the communication module 200, It is determined whether or not the communication module identification information 411 stored in the application storage unit 410 matches (S872). If the two match, the presenting unit 340 is made to present the fact that the filter needs to be replaced as the presentation information prepared in advance (S873).
　このように、本発明の第２の実施の形態によれば、状態量表示装置１００の状態量が所定量になった旨を通信モジュール２００によって携帯端末３００に送信し、通信モジュール識別情報が予定したものであれば、予め用意された提示情報をユーザに提示することができる。 As described above, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the communication module 200 transmits to the portable terminal 300 that the state quantity of the state quantity display device 100 has reached the predetermined quantity, and the communication module identification information is scheduled. If it has been done, presentation information prepared in advance can be presented to the user.
　なお、この第２の実施の形態では、判定部４２０によって通信モジュール識別情報の一致を判定しているが、この判定をせずに予め用意された提示情報を提示部３４０に提示させるようにしてもよい。 In the second embodiment, the determination unit 420 determines whether the communication module identification information matches, but the presenting unit 340 is made to present the presentation information prepared in advance without making this determination.
