 ここでは、基準モデル(55)を作成する過程について、図5及び図6を参照しながら説明する。また、ここでは、鮮度指標である生鮮物の糖度と水分量の時系列データから基準モデル(55)を作成する場合を例に、基準モデル(55)の作成過程を説明する。 Here, the process of creating the reference model (55) will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, here, the process of creating the reference model (55) will be described by taking as an example a case where the reference model (55) is created from the time series data of the sugar content and the water content of the fresh material, which are the freshness indexes.
 最初に、庫内環境が所定の設定環境となるように(例えば、庫内空気の温度と酸素濃度と二酸化炭素濃度がそれぞれの設定値となるように)制御された貯蔵庫に生鮮物を実際に貯蔵し、貯蔵された生鮮物の鮮度指標(図5では糖度)の時系列データを取得する(図5の(a)を参照)。 First, fresh foods are actually stored in a controlled storage such that the environment in the refrigerator becomes a predetermined setting environment (for example, the temperature, oxygen concentration, and carbon dioxide concentration in the refrigerator become the respective set values). It stores and acquires time-series data of a freshness index (sugar content in FIG. 5) of the stored fresh product (see (a) of FIG. 5).
 次に、取得した鮮度指標の時系列データを、平均が0(ゼロ)となり且つ分散が1となるように規格化(正規化)する(図5の(b)を参照)。次に、規格化したデータからトレンド成分を抽出する(図5の(c)を参照)。次に、トレンド成分における鮮度指標(図5では糖度)の度数分布を作成する(図5の(d)を参照)。次に、作成した度数分布を複数のガウス関数の線形結合で近似した混合ガウスモデルを作成する(図5の(e)を参照)。 Next, the obtained time series data of the freshness index is normalized (normalized) so that the average becomes 0 (zero) and the variance becomes 1 (see FIG. 5B). Next, a trend component is extracted from the normalized data (see (c) of FIG. 5). Next, a frequency distribution of the freshness index (the sugar content in FIG. 5) in the trend component is created (see (d) of FIG. 5). Next, a mixed Gaussian model is created by approximating the created frequency distribution with a linear combination of a plurality of Gaussian functions (see (e) of FIG. 5).
 このような処理を行うことによって、生鮮物の糖度の時系列データに基づく混合ガウスモデルが得られる(図5及び図6の(e)を参照)。また、生鮮物の水分量の時系列データについて同様の処理を行うことによって、生鮮物の水分量の時系列データに基づく混合ガウスモデルを作成する(図6の(f)を参照)。そして、図6(e)に示す生鮮物の糖度に関する混合ガウスモデルと、図6(f)に示す生鮮物の水分量に関する混合ガウスモデルとを組み合わせることによって、図6(g)に示す基準モデル(55)を作成する。この基準モデル(55)は、糖度と水分量と度数に関する三次元モデルである。 に よ っ て By performing such processing, a mixed Gaussian model based on the time series data of the sugar content of the fresh product is obtained (see (e) of FIGS. 5 and 6). Further, a similar process is performed on the time series data of the moisture content of the fresh product to create a mixed Gaussian model based on the time series data of the moisture content of the fresh product (see (f) of FIG. 6). Then, by combining the mixed Gaussian model relating to the sugar content of the fresh product shown in FIG. 6 (e) and the mixed Gaussian model relating to the water content of the fresh product shown in FIG. 6 (f), the reference model shown in FIG. Create (55). This reference model (55) is a three-dimensional model relating to sugar content, water content and frequency.

The storable period calculation unit (63) of the present embodiment uses “negative log likelihood” as a deterioration index. This deterioration index increases as the freshness of the fresh product decreases (that is, as the degree of deterioration increases).
 貯蔵可能期間算出部(63)は、算出した劣化指標の経時変化を示すデータを作成する(図6の(h)を参照)。そして、貯蔵可能期間算出部(63)は、生鮮物の貯蔵の開始から、劣化指標が所定の基準指標値に達するまでの期間を、貯蔵可能期間とする。本実施形態の貯蔵可能期間算出部(63)は、基準指標値を、劣化指標の標準偏差に基づいて決定する。ただし、基準指標値は、劣化指標の平均値、歪度、尖度などに基づいて決定されてもよい。 (4) The storable period calculation unit (63) creates data indicating a change over time of the calculated deterioration index (see (h) in FIG. 6). Then, the storable period calculation unit (63) sets a period from the start of storage of the perishables until the deterioration index reaches a predetermined reference index value as a storable period. The storable period calculation unit (63) of the present embodiment determines the reference index value based on the standard deviation of the deterioration index. However, the reference index value may be determined based on an average value, skewness, kurtosis, or the like of the deterioration index.
 貯蔵可能期間算出部(63)は、モデル記憶部(73)が記憶する全ての基準モデル(55)のそれぞれについて、貯蔵可能期間を算出する。貯蔵可能期間算出部(63)が算出した貯蔵可能期間は、それを算出する際に用いられた基準モデル(55)と対応づけられた状態で、貯蔵可能期間記憶部(74)に記録される。 (4) The storable period calculation unit (63) calculates the storable period for each of all the reference models (55) stored in the model storage unit (73).

   〈基準モデルの更新〉
 上述したように、情報作成装置(50)は、貯蔵庫である輸送用コンテナ(1)に実際に生鮮物(7)を貯蔵して輸送した際に得られた時系列データを用いて、モデル記憶部(73)が記憶する基準モデル(55)を更新する。ここでは、情報作成装置(50)が基準モデル(55)を更新する動作について、図4~図6を参照しながら説明する。
<Update of reference model>
As described above, the information creating device (50) uses the time-series data obtained when the perishables (7) are actually stored and transported in the transport container (1), which is a storage, to store the model. The reference model (55) stored in the section (73) is updated. Here, the operation of updating the reference model (55) by the information creating device (50) will be described with reference to FIGS.
 実際に生鮮物(7)を輸送用コンテナ(1)に貯蔵している期間において、情報作成装置(50)のデータ取得部(81)は、庫内温度センサ(37)及び庫内湿度センサ(38)の計測値と、酸素濃度センサ(47)及び二酸化炭素濃度センサ(48)の計測値と、鮮度指標センサ(15)の計測値とを、所定時間毎(例えば、数分毎)に取得する。データ取得部(81)は、取得した各センサ(15,37,38,47,48)の計測値をデータ記憶部(71)に記録する。データ記憶部(71)は、データ取得部(81)が取得した各センサ(15,37,38,47,48)の計測値の時系列データを記憶する。 During the period in which the perishables (7) are actually stored in the transport container (1), the data acquisition unit (81) of the information creating device (50) uses the inside temperature sensor (37) and the inside humidity sensor ( 38) The measurement value of the oxygen concentration sensor (47), the measurement value of the carbon dioxide concentration sensor (48), and the measurement value of the freshness index sensor (15) are acquired at predetermined time intervals (for example, every few minutes). I do. The data acquisition unit (81) records the acquired measurement values of the sensors (15, 37, 38, 47, 48) in the data storage unit (71). The data storage unit (71) stores time-series data of the measurement values of the sensors (15, 37, 38, 47, 48) acquired by the data acquisition unit (81).
 情報作成装置(50)の特徴量抽出部(61)は、データ記憶部(71)が記憶するデータのなかから、鮮度指標センサ(15)の計測値の時系列データ(即ち、鮮度指標である糖度と水分量の時系列データ)を抽出し、抽出した糖度および水分量の時系列データを特徴量記憶部(72)に記録する。 The feature amount extraction unit (61) of the information creation device (50) is configured to extract, from the data stored in the data storage unit (71), the time-series data of the measurement value of the freshness index sensor (15) (that is, the freshness index). Time series data of the sugar content and the water content) are extracted, and the extracted time series data of the sugar content and the water content are recorded in the feature amount storage unit (72).
 上述したように、本実施形態の庫内環境制御システム(10)は、複数の状態指標センサ(15)を備える。そこで、特徴量抽出部(61)は、各状態指標センサ(15)の計測値の算術平均値を時系列に沿って並べた時系列データを作成し、この時系列データを鮮度指標の時系列データとして特徴量記憶部(72)に記録する。 As described above, the indoor environment control system (10) of the present embodiment includes the plurality of state index sensors (15). Therefore, the feature quantity extraction unit (61) creates time-series data in which the arithmetic mean values of the measurement values of the state index sensors (15) are arranged in time series, and uses this time-series data as the time series of the freshness index. The data is recorded in the feature amount storage unit (72) as data.
 情報作成装置(50)のモデル更新部(62)は、特徴量記憶部(72)から鮮度指標(本実施形態では、糖度と水分量)の時系列データを読み出す。モデル更新部(62)は、上述した基準モデル(55)の作成過程と同様の演算処理を行い、読み出した鮮度指標の時系列データから、糖度と水分量のそれぞれについての度数分布を作成する。つまり、鮮度指標の時系列データを規格化し(図5の(b)を参照)、規格化したデータからトレンド成分を抽出し(図5の(c)を参照)、抽出したトレンド成分における鮮度指標の度数分布を作成する(図5の(d)を参照)。 The model updating unit (62) of the information creating device (50) reads out the time series data of the freshness index (the sugar content and the water content in the present embodiment) from the feature storage unit (72). The model updating unit (62) performs the same arithmetic processing as the above-described process of creating the reference model (55), and creates frequency distributions for the sugar content and the water content from the read time-series data of the freshness index. That is, the time series data of the freshness index is normalized (see (b) of FIG. 5), the trend component is extracted from the normalized data (see (c) of FIG. 5), and the freshness index of the extracted trend component is extracted. (See FIG. 5 (d)).
 また、モデル更新部(62)は、モデル記憶部(73)が記憶する鮮度指標の度数分布(即ち、現在の基準モデル(55)を作成する際に用いられた鮮度指標の度数分布)を読み出す。そして、モデル更新部(62)は、特徴量記憶部(72)から読み出した鮮度指標の時系列データに基づいて作成した鮮度指標の度数分布を、モデル記憶部(73)から読み出した鮮度指標の度数分布に加算することによって、更新用の鮮度指標の度数分布を作成する。モデル更新部(62)は、糖度と水分量のそれぞれについて、更新用の鮮度指標の度数分布を作成する。 The model updating unit (62) reads the frequency distribution of the freshness index stored in the model storage unit (73) (that is, the frequency distribution of the freshness index used when creating the current reference model (55)). . Then, the model updating unit (62) converts the frequency distribution of the freshness index created based on the time series data of the freshness index read from the feature amount storage unit (72) into the freshness index of the freshness index read from the model storage unit (73). By adding to the frequency distribution, a frequency distribution of the freshness index for update is created. The model updating unit (62) creates a frequency distribution of a freshness index for updating for each of the sugar content and the water content.
 続いて、モデル更新部(62)は、更新用の鮮度指標の度数分布を複数のガウス関数の線形結合で近似した“更新用の混合ガウスモデル”を作成する(図5の(e)を参照)。そして、糖度に関する更新用の混合ガウスモデル(図6の(e)を参照)と、水分量に関する更新用の混合ガウスモデル(図6の(f)を参照)とを組み合わせることによって、更新された基準モデル(55)を作成する。モデル更新部(62)は、更新した基準モデル(55)をモデル記憶部(73)に記録する。 Subsequently, the model updating unit (62) creates a “mixed Gaussian model for updating” in which the frequency distribution of the freshness index for updating is approximated by a linear combination of a plurality of Gaussian functions (see (e) in FIG. 5). ). The combined Gaussian model for updating the sugar content (see (e) of FIG. 6) and the updated Gaussian mixture model for the moisture content (see (f) of FIG. 6) are updated. Create a reference model (55). The model updating section (62) records the updated reference model (55) in the model storage section (73).
