 また、特許文献2は、居住者の回答の傾向から誤操作又はいたずらによる回答を判定し、快適性評価及び空調制御に反映しない技術を開示している。
On the other hand, by collecting subjective evaluations from the residents and appropriately analyzing the collected subjective evaluations, it is possible to realize air conditioning that matches the actual experience.
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a countermeasure for a case where a resident declares an answer different from the actual experience depending on the purpose when answering a subjective evaluation.
Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a technique that determines an answer due to an erroneous operation or mischief from the tendency of replies of the resident and does not reflect it in comfort evaluation and air conditioning control.

 特許文献1及び特許文献2に開示された技術は、居住者の好みや目標とする環境を正しく判定するため、居住者からの主観評価の適正を判定する目的において有効である。
 しかしながら、主観評価の回答を頻繁に要求されると、居住者は、煩わしさを感じてしまい、回答要求を無視してしまう可能性がある。また、回答作業の煩雑さ及び長期間の運用による慣れにより、居住者から回答が得られにくくなると、主観評価をもとにした空調制御が成立しなくなってしまう。
The techniques disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 are effective for the purpose of determining appropriateness of subjective evaluation from the resident in order to correctly determine the resident's preference and target environment.
However, if a subjective evaluation response is frequently requested, the resident may feel annoyance and ignore the response request. Moreover, if it becomes difficult to obtain a reply from a resident due to the complexity of the answering work and the long-term operation, air conditioning control based on subjective evaluation will not be established.
 そこで、本発明は、ユーザの負担を最小限にして効率的に主観評価を収集できるようにすることを目的とする。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to efficiently collect subjective evaluations while minimizing the burden on the user.

Next, the answer required level determination unit 152 refers to the answer database 160 and determines the answer required level of the resident in the latest detected value (S1).
Here, it is assumed that the required answer level is determined in three stages. Level 1 is the most necessary and level 3 is the lowest.
 例えば、居住者1は、室温26℃台、湿度40%台、心拍数80台における回答がないため、回答必要レベル判定部152は、回答必要レベルを「1」と判定する。言い換えると、最新の主観データ収集検出値と類似範囲にある主観データ収集検出値における主観評価の回答数が予め定められた第1の閾値未満である場合に、回答必要レベル判定部152は、回答必要レベルを「1」と判断する。
 一方、居住者2は、最新の環境値と類似した条件ですでに過去に回答を1回行っているため、回答必要レベル判定部152は、回答必要レベルを「2」と判定する。言い換えると、最新の主観データ収集検出値と類似範囲にある主観データ収集検出値における主観評価の回答数が予め定められた第1の閾値以上、予め定められた第2の閾値未満である場合に、回答必要レベル判定部152は、回答必要レベルを「2」と判断する。
 また、最新の主観データ収集検出値と類似範囲にある主観データ収集検出値における主観評価の回答数が予め定められた第2の閾値(例えば、「5」)以上である場合に、回答必要レベル判定部152は、回答必要レベルを「3」と判断する。
 なお、主観データ収集検出値の類似範囲については、それぞれの検出値毎に数値範囲が予め定められているものとする。
 また、ここでは、最新の主観データ収集検出値と類似範囲にある主観データ収集検出値における主観評価の回答数に基づいて判定しているが、最新の主観データ収集検出値と類似範囲にある主観データ収集検出値における主観評価の回答確率で判定されてもよい。
For example, since the resident 1 does not receive a response at a room temperature of 26 ° C., a humidity of 40%, and a heart rate of 80, the response required level determination unit 152 determines the response required level as “1”. In other words, when the number of responses of subjective evaluation in subjective data collection detection values in the similar range to the latest subjective data collection detection value is less than a predetermined first threshold, the answer required level determination unit 152 The required level is determined as “1”.
On the other hand, since the resident 2 has already made an answer once in the past under conditions similar to the latest environmental value, the answer required level determination unit 152 determines the answer required level as “2”. In other words, when the number of responses to subjective evaluation in the subjective data collection detection value in the similar range to the latest subjective data collection detection value is greater than or equal to the predetermined first threshold and less than the predetermined second threshold. The required answer level determination unit 152 determines that the required answer level is “2”.
In addition, when the number of responses for subjective evaluation in subjective data collection detection values in a similar range to the latest subjective data collection detection value is equal to or greater than a predetermined second threshold (for example, “5”), a required answer level The determination unit 152 determines that the required answer level is “3”.
As for the similar range of the subjective data collection detection values, a numerical range is predetermined for each detection value.
In addition, here, the determination is based on the number of responses of subjective evaluation in the subjective data collection detection value in the similar range to the latest subjective data collection detection value. It may be determined by the answer probability of the subjective evaluation in the data collection detection value.
 次に、取得可能レベル判定部153は、最新の検出値における居住者からの主観評価の取得可能性レベルを判定する(S3)。
 ここでは、取得可能性レベルは、3段階で判定されるものとする。レベル1が最も回答を得られる確率が高く、レベル3が最も低いものとする。
 例えば、取得可能レベル判定部153は、最新の回答確率判定検出値と類似範囲にある回答確率判定検出値における主観評価の回答確率を閾値と比較することにより、取得可能性レベルを判定する。
 例えば、最新の回答確率判定検出値と類似範囲にある回答確率判定検出値における主観評価の回答確率が、30%(第3の閾値)未満である場合には、取得可能レベル判定部153は、取得可能性レベルを「3」と判定する。
 また、最新の回答確率判定検出値と類似範囲にある回答確率判定検出値における主観評価の回答確率が、30%(第3の閾値)以上、60%(第4の閾値)未満である場合には、取得可能レベル判定部153は、取得可能性レベルを「2」と判定する。
 さらに、類似範囲にある回答確率判定検出値における主観評価の回答確率が、60%(第4の閾値)以上である場合には、取得可能レベル判定部153は、取得可能性レベルを「1」と判定する。
 なお、回答確率判定検出値の類似範囲については、それぞれの検出値毎に数値範囲が予め定められているものとする。また、在席位置については、類似する位置が予め定められているものとする。
Next, the acquirable level determination unit 153 determines an acquirable level of subjective evaluation from the resident at the latest detected value (S3).
Here, it is assumed that the acquisition possibility level is determined in three stages. Level 1 has the highest probability of obtaining an answer, and level 3 has the lowest probability.
For example, the acquirable level determination unit 153 determines the acquisition possibility level by comparing the answer probability of the subjective evaluation in the answer probability determination detection value in the similar range to the latest answer probability determination detection value with a threshold value.
For example, when the answer probability of the subjective evaluation in the answer probability determination detection value in the similar range to the latest answer probability determination detection value is less than 30% (third threshold), the obtainable level determination unit 153 The acquisition possibility level is determined to be “3”.
In addition, when the answer probability of the subjective evaluation in the answer probability determination detection value in the similar range to the latest answer probability determination detection value is 30% (third threshold) or more and less than 60% (fourth threshold). The obtainable level determination unit 153 determines that the obtainability level is “2”.
Furthermore, when the response probability of the subjective evaluation in the response probability determination detection value in the similar range is 60% (fourth threshold) or more, the acquirable level determination unit 153 sets the acquisition probability level to “1”. Is determined.
As for the similar range of the answer probability determination detection value, a numerical range is predetermined for each detection value. Further, it is assumed that a similar position is predetermined for the seating position.
 次に、回答要求通知部154は、判断基準テーブル161を参照することで、ステップS2で判定された回答必要レベル及びステップS3で判定された取得可能レベルの組み合わせにおいて、回答要求を送信するか否かを判断する(S4)。回答要求を送信する場合(S4でYes)には、処理はステップS5に進み、回答要求を送信しない場合(S4でNo)には、処理は終了する。
 例えば、居住者1は、回答必要レベルが「1」及び取得可能レベルが「3」であり、居住者2は、回答必要レベルが「2」及び取得可能レベルが「1」であるため、回答要求通知部154は、判断基準テーブル161に基づいて、両者とも回答要求を送信すると判断する。
Next, the response request notifying unit 154 refers to the determination criterion table 161, and determines whether or not to transmit the response request in the combination of the response required level determined in step S2 and the acquirable level determined in step S3. (S4). If an answer request is transmitted (Yes in S4), the process proceeds to step S5. If an answer request is not transmitted (No in S4), the process ends.
For example, resident 1 has an answer required level of “1” and an obtainable level is “3”, and resident 2 has an answer required level of “2” and an obtainable level is “1”. Based on the determination criterion table 161, the request notification unit 154 determines that both request response transmission.
 ステップS5では、回答要求通知部154は、第2のI/F部143を介して、端末130に回答要求を送信する。ここでは、居住者1及び居住者2のそれぞれの端末130に、回答要求が送信される。 In step S <b> 5, the reply request notifying unit 154 transmits a reply request to the terminal 130 via the second I / F unit 143. Here, an answer request is transmitted to each terminal 130 of resident 1 and resident 2.
 図7は、制御装置140が端末130に回答要求を送信した場合において、端末130のタッチパネル(図示せず)に表示される回答画面画像の一例を示す概略図である。
 このような回答画面画像170の画像データは、端末130に予め記憶されていてもよく、また、制御装置140から端末130に回答要求として送信してもよい。
 居住者は、回答画面画像170において、室温(温度)、湿度及び快適性に関する主観評価を入力し、回答を返信することで、主観評価を制御装置140に通知することができる。
FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of an answer screen image displayed on the touch panel (not shown) of the terminal 130 when the control device 140 transmits an answer request to the terminal 130.
Such image data of the answer screen image 170 may be stored in the terminal 130 in advance, or may be transmitted from the control device 140 to the terminal 130 as an answer request.
The resident can input the subjective evaluation regarding the room temperature (temperature), the humidity, and the comfort in the answer screen image 170 and send back the answer, thereby notifying the control apparatus 140 of the subjective evaluation.
 図6に戻り、評価収集部155は、第2のI/F部143を介して、居住者からの主観評価を取得した場合には、その内容を回答データベース160に格納する(S6)。
 例えば、評価収集部155は、ステップS5で回答要求通知部154が回答要求を送信した時点で、回答データベース160に新たなレコードを追加して、居住者NO列160aに、対応する居住者番号を格納し、その環境データ列160bに、ステップS1で取得された環境データを格納し、その主観評価列160gに、「-」を格納する。そして、評価収集部155は、居住者からの主観評価を取得した時点で、主観評価列160gを更新して、その内容を格納すればよい。
Returning to FIG. 6, if the evaluation collection unit 155 acquires the subjective evaluation from the resident through the second I / F unit 143, the evaluation collection unit 155 stores the content in the answer database 160 (S <b> 6).
For example, the evaluation collection unit 155 adds a new record to the response database 160 when the response request notification unit 154 transmits the response request in step S5, and sets the corresponding resident number in the resident NO column 160a. The environmental data acquired in step S1 is stored in the environmental data column 160b, and "-" is stored in the subjective evaluation column 160g. And the evaluation collection part 155 should just update the subjective evaluation row | line | column 160g and store the content at the time of acquiring the subjective evaluation from a resident.
 ここでは、各居住者から以下の回答が得られたものとする。
 居住者1:温冷感=暑い、乾湿感=中立、快適感=やや不快
 居住者2:温冷感=中立、乾湿感=やや乾燥、快適感=快適
Here, it is assumed that the following answers were obtained from each resident.
Resident 1: Thermal feeling = hot, wet / dry feeling = neutral, comfortable feeling = slightly uncomfortable Resident 2: Thermal feeling = neutral, wet / dry feeling = somewhat dry, comfortable feeling = comfortable
 そして、制御決定部156は、回答データベース160に格納されている内容に基づいて、空気調和機の制御を決定する(S7)。
 例えば、制御決定部156は、居住者1が打合せスペースにいる場合は、温冷感がやや「暑い」による傾向にあることから、打合せスペースの空調の設定温度を下げる。また、居住者2は、他の居住者と比較して乾燥していると感じることが多いことから、居室机26の空調の風量を落とす。
And the control determination part 156 determines control of an air conditioner based on the content stored in the reply database 160 (S7).
For example, when the resident 1 is in the meeting space, the control determination unit 156 decreases the set temperature of the air conditioning in the meeting space because the thermal sensation tends to be somewhat “hot”. Moreover, since the resident 2 often feels dry compared to other resident, the air volume of the air conditioner 26 is reduced.
 なお、実施の形態1では、居住者は、回答要求があった場合にのみ主観評価を回答するものとしたが、任意のタイミング(空調に不満がある場合等)で回答してもよい。 In the first embodiment, the resident responds the subjective evaluation only when there is a response request, but the resident may respond at an arbitrary timing (when dissatisfied with the air conditioning, etc.).

 複数の回答要求方法の各々には、予め、期待度レベルとして「1」から順番に正の整数が割り当てられている。期待度レベルは、「1」が最も回答を期待することができるもの、言い換えると、高いレベル(高い期待度)であるものとする。
The selection information is information in which a plurality of response request methods are associated with an expectation level that is an expectation level at which a response can be expected in each of the plurality of response request methods for each resident.
A positive integer is assigned to each of the plurality of response request methods in advance from “1” as an expectation level. The expectation level is assumed to be that at which “1” can most expect the answer, in other words, a high level (high expectation).
 複数の回答要求方法は、例えば、端末130として、例えば、携帯端末、専用端末及びPC等、居住者が複数の装置を利用している場合には、その複数の装置とする。
 また、複数の回答要求方法は、例えば、アラーム音の鳴らす、振動させる、自動で画面を表示させる等、端末130への複数の通知方法でもよい。
