Description

  The present invention relates to a work environment adjustment system.

In office rooms such as office rooms and meeting rooms, office work involving conversations, such as meetings, is performed at the same time in a nearby table or area, or work involving conversations and office work, such as office work, are not used. Sometimes done at the same time.
In such a case, since conversations such as meetings can be heard in the surroundings, the concentration of the surrounding office workers is hindered, and the productivity and efficiency of the office work may be reduced. In addition, since the content of the conversation can be heard by a third party, privacy may be lost and confidential information may be leaked.

Therefore, a sound masking system that makes it difficult for surrounding office workers and third parties to hear the content of the conversation has been proposed.
The sound masking system creates a situation where the conversation is difficult to understand by sounding white noise, etc. around the office workers who are involved in the conversation. As a result, it is possible to prevent leakage of conversation contents while maintaining the working environment of surrounding office workers.

JP 2012-159740 A

Even when a sound masking system is installed in the office, if the surrounding office workers are in an environment where it is easy for the office workers who have conversations to enter the vision, their concentration will be distracted and their thinking and concentration will decline. As a result, productivity and efficiency may be reduced. For this reason, it is also conceivable to use partitions such as partitions and partitions.
However, there are cases in which a partition cannot be physically installed. For example, in one long desk (meeting table), work with conversation and work without conversation are mixed. In some cases, it may not be possible to install a partition due to office design.
Furthermore, the work that involves conversation and the table to be performed are not constant, and if it is performed at any table, etc., it takes time to move the partition, etc., so the office will be performed without installing a partition. . For this reason, productivity of surrounding office workers is impaired.

An embodiment of a work environment adjustment system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In the following description, n means an arbitrary natural number.

[Basic environment]
FIG. 1 is a diagram (a top view of a meeting room R) showing an office environment adjustment system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the meeting room R is set to the basic environment by the office environment adjustment system 1.
FIG. 2 is a side view of the meeting room R.
In each drawing, the scale is appropriately changed in order to make the selection unit 40 and the like recognizable.

In the meeting room (office room) R, a plurality of office tables T for performing office work such as meetings are arranged. As shown in FIG. 1, eight office tables T1 to T8 are regularly arranged.
Hereinafter, when any one of the office tables T1 to T8 is indicated, it may be referred to as an office table Tn. n is a natural number of 1-8.

The office tables T1 to T8 are fixed to the floor of the meeting room R. The office tables T1 to T8 do not necessarily need to be fixed to the floor surface, but the positional relationship between task lights 21 to 28 and speakers 31 to 38, which will be described later, needs to be determined on a one-to-one basis.
Each office table (office area) T is accompanied by a plurality of chairs. For example, four chairs are attached to one office table T.

In the meeting room R, the office environment adjustment system 1 is installed.
The office environment adjustment system 1 includes an ambient lighting unit 10, a task lighting unit 20, a sound masking unit 30, a selection unit 40, and a control unit 50.

The ambient lighting unit 10 and the task lighting unit 20 perform task-ambient lighting. Task ambient lighting is an illumination system that gives a required illuminance to a work area and lower illuminance to other peripheral areas.

The ambient lighting unit 10 supplies general illuminance toward the entire meeting room R. The ambient lighting unit 10 illuminates the entire meeting room R with an illuminance equal to or lower than the illuminance necessary for work (visual work).
That is, the ambient illumination unit 10 illuminates the surroundings (ambient) of the place where the work (task) is performed. The ambient lighting unit 10 illuminates the ceiling, walls, floor, and the like, thereby ensuring the safety and comfort of the entire meeting room R. For example, the illumination from the ambient illumination unit 10 has an illuminance of 200 ± 50 lx and a color temperature of 4000 ± 500K.
The type, number, method (direct illumination, indirect illumination), etc., of the lighting fixtures constituting the ambient illumination unit 10 are arbitrary. For example, a lighting device may be installed on the ceiling of the meeting room R, a lighting device may be installed between the office tables T, or a combination thereof.
When the meeting room R is used (time zone), the ambient lighting unit 10 is always kept lit.

The task lighting unit 20 supplies a predetermined illuminance toward the office table T on which work (visual work) is performed. The task lighting unit 20 illuminates the office table T with illuminance necessary for work (visual work). That is, the task lighting unit 20 illuminates a place where work (task) is performed.
The task lighting unit 20 makes it possible to accurately and sufficiently visually recognize the desk of the office table T and an object (such as a document). For example, the illumination from the task illumination unit 20 is in a state where the task illumination unit 20 is turned off in an initial state where the illuminance is 500 ± 200 lx and the color temperature is 4000 ± 1000K.

The task illumination unit 20 includes task illuminations 21 to 28 that individually illuminate the eight office tables T1 to T8.
Hereinafter, when any one of the task lights 21 to 28 is indicated, it may be referred to as a task light 2n. n is an arbitrary natural number of 1 to 8.

Each of the task lights 21 to 28 can change the illumination range. The task lights 21 to 28 have a wide range illumination mode W and a narrow range illumination mode S, respectively.
The wide-area illumination mode W is a mode in which each office table T and a range including the seating range of the office worker H heading toward the office table T are illuminated. The narrow range illumination mode S is a mode in which the same range as each office table T is illuminated and the office worker H heading toward the office table T does not illuminate.

The task illuminations 21 to 28 may switch the wide range illumination mode W and the narrow range illumination mode S, for example, using a variable shade, or may switch a plurality of lighting fixtures having different illumination ranges.
The type, number, and the like of the lighting fixtures that make up the task lights 21 to 28 are arbitrary. For example, a lighting device may be installed on the ceiling of the meeting room R, or a desk light may be installed on each desk of the office tables T1 to T8.

The sound masking unit 30 supplies a predetermined sound toward the office table T on which work (visual work) is performed. The sound masking unit 30 plays a sound of a sound quality volume that does not hinder the work of the office worker H on the office table T. The sound masking unit 30 makes it difficult for the office worker H to hear a conversation or the like performed in the surroundings by, for example, sounding white noise or the like. That is, the sound masking unit 30 creates a situation where the conversation can be heard but the conversation content is difficult to understand.
For example, the sound from the sound masking unit 30 includes a wide sound range with a frequency of 100 to 2000 Hz, and the sound intensity is 45 to 55 dB. The sound intensity is set to be about 0 to 5 dB larger than background noise (when the sound masking unit 30 is OFF).
In addition to white noise, the sound masking unit 30 may sound natural sounds (environmental sounds) such as river buzz and bird voices, musical instrument sounds (effect sounds), and the like. Moreover, you may sound the combination of these.
In the initial state, the sound masking unit 30 is in a stopped state.

The sound masking unit 30 includes speakers 31 to 38 that individually make sounds toward the eight office tables T1 to T8.
Hereinafter, when referring to any of the speakers 31 to 38, the speaker 31n may be referred to. n is an arbitrary natural number of 1 to 8.

  The type, number, etc. of the speakers 31 to 38 are arbitrary. For example, the speakers 31 to 38 may be installed on the ceiling, floor, or wall of the meeting room R, or the speakers 31 to 38 may be installed on the desks of the office tables T1 to T8.

The selection unit 40 is an operation input means for selecting a work table that is actually (actually) performed (hereinafter referred to as a current office table J) from among the office tables T (T1 to T8).
The office worker H who intends to perform office work in the meeting room R operates the selection unit 40 to select one of the 8 office tables T1 to T8 and sets it as the current office table (current office area) J.

The selection unit 40 includes switch units 41 to 48 corresponding to the eight office tables T1 to T8, respectively. The switch units 41 to 48 are provided on the desks of the office tables T1 to T8, for example.
The switch units 41 to 48 are each provided with three selection buttons 41A, 41B, 41C to 41A, 41B, and 41C.
Hereinafter, when any one of the switch units 41 to 48 is indicated, it may be referred to as a switch unit 4n. Moreover, when referring to any of the selection buttons 41A, 41B, 41C to 41A, 41B, 41C, they may be referred to as selection buttons 4nA, 4nB, 4nC. n is an arbitrary natural number of 1 to 8.

The selection buttons 41A, 41B to 48A, 48B are buttons for setting the office tables T1 to T8 to the current office table J. The selection buttons 41C to 48C are buttons for canceling the setting of the current office table J (returning to the initial state).
In each of the office tables T1 to T8, only one of the selection buttons 41A, 41B, 41C to 48A, 48B, and 48C is selected. In the initial state, the selection buttons 41C to 48C are pressed.

The current office table J is further divided into a conversation table JA and an office table JB.
The selection buttons (first setting units) 41A to 48A are buttons for setting the office tables T1 to T8 in the conversation table JA. The state set in the conversation table JA is also called a meeting mode.
The conversation table (conversation area) JA is the current office table J in which office work involving conversation is performed. For example, a case where a plurality of office workers H hold a meeting corresponds to office work involving conversation.

The selection buttons (second setting units) 41B to 48B are buttons for setting the office tables T1 to T8 in the office table JB. The state set in the office table JB is also called a concentrated mode.
The office table (office area) JB is the current office table J in which office work without conversation is performed. For example, the case where one office worker H performs office work such as document preparation corresponds to office work without conversation.

For example, the office worker H who is going to have a meeting at the office table T1 presses the selection button 41A of the switch unit 41 to set the office table T1 as the conversation table JA.
Further, for example, the office worker H who wants to create a document at the office table T8 presses the selection button 48B of the switch unit 48 to set the office table T8 as the office table JB.
And when these office workers H etc. stop office work, such as a meeting and document preparation, and leave office table T1, T8, the selection buttons 41C and 48C of switch part 41 and 48 are pushed, and office table T1 , T8 (conversation table JA, office table JB) is canceled. That is, the office tables T1 and T8 are returned to the initial state.

The office worker H who intends to perform office work that does not require high illuminance can also perform office work only under illumination from the ambient illumination unit 10 without operating the selection unit 40 (switch units 41 to 48).
For example, the office worker H who wants to perform simple manual work on the office table T3 leaves the office table T3 in the initial state without pressing the selection buttons 43A and 43B of the switch unit 43. If the office table T3 is set to the conversation table JA or the office table JB, the selection button 43C is pressed to cancel this setting.
Work that does not require high illuminance includes not only simple manual work, but also short work and temporary rest.

Based on the selection (setting) by the selection unit 40, the control unit 50 performs control to operate the task lighting unit 20 and the sound masking unit 30 in combination. The control unit 50 is a so-called microcomputer, and is connected to the task lighting unit 20, the sound masking unit 30, and the selection unit 40.
The control unit 50 is built in the wall surface switch SW that turns on / off the ambient illumination unit 10. When the ambient illumination unit 10 is set to ON / OFF by the wall surface switch SW, the control unit 50 is also automatically started / stopped.

When the selection buttons 4nA and 4nB of the switch unit 4n are pressed and the office table Tn is set to the current office table J, the control unit 50 sets the task lighting 2n corresponding to the current office table J (office table Tn). Light.
At the same time, the control unit 50 sounds the speaker 3n for the current office table J (office table Tn). Alternatively, the speaker 3n is sounded for the office table T (referred to as the adjacent table K) adjacent to the current office table J (office table Tn).

A specific control method of the office environment adjustment system 1 will be described.
First, a case where the selection button 4nA of the switch unit 4n is pressed and the office table Tn is set in the conversation table JA will be described.
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a case where the office table T is set in the conversation table JA.
In this case, the control unit 50 turns on the task lighting 2n corresponding to the conversation table JA. Further, the speaker 3n is sounded for the adjacent table (adjacent area) K adjacent to the conversation table JA. Further, the control unit 50 illuminates in the wide range illumination mode W when illuminating the conversation table JA with the task illumination 2n.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, three office workers H heading to the office table T5 are having a meeting. When the selection button 45A of the switch unit 45 is pressed by the office worker H and the office table T5 is set to the conversation table JA, the task illumination 25 corresponding to the office table T5 is turned on. In addition, the speakers 31, 36 are sounded for the office tables T1, T6 (adjacent table K) adjacent to the office table T5. The office table T2 that is adjacent to the office table T5 in the oblique direction may also be treated as the adjacent table K.

  When the office table T5 is set as the conversation table JA, the task illumination 25 illuminates a wider range (25W) than the office table T5. That is, the range including the seating range of the three office workers H and the like heading to the office table T5 is illuminated.

In addition, each office worker H heading to the office tables T1 and T3 performs office work that does not require high illuminance. For this reason, work is performed only under illumination from the ambient illumination unit 10 without operating the selection unit 40 (switch units 41 and 43). As described above, white noise or the like is emitted from the speaker 31 for the office table T1.

  Although the office worker H does not exist in the office table T6, the speaker 36 sounds. In such a case, it is possible to control the speaker 36 not to sound. For example, a human sensor (not shown) is arranged in the office table Tn to detect the presence or absence of the office worker H. And when the office table Tn in which the office worker H does not exist is set to the adjacent table K, it controls not to sound the speaker 3n.

Next, a case where the selection button 4nB of the switch unit 4n is pressed and the office table Tn is set to the office table JB will be described.
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a case where the office table T is set to the office table JB.
In this case, the control unit 50 turns on the task lighting 2n corresponding to the office table JB. Further, the speaker 3n is sounded for the conversation table JA.
Further, the control unit 50 illuminates in the narrow range illumination mode S when illuminating the office table JB with the task illumination 2n.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, each office worker H heading for the office tables T4 and T7 performs office work without conversation. When the selection buttons 44B and 47B of the switch units 44 and 47 are pressed by the office workers H and the office tables T4 and T7 are set to the office table JB, the task lighting 24 and the task lighting 24 corresponding to the office tables T4 and T7, 27 is turned on. In addition, the speakers 34 and 37 are sounded for the office tables T4 and T7.

  Further, when the office tables T4 and T7 are set in the office table JB, the task lighting 24 and 27 illuminate the same range (24S and 27S) as the office tables T4 and T7. That is, only the office tables T4 and T7 are illuminated, and the office worker H heading toward the office tables T4 and T7 is not illuminated.

In addition, each office worker H heading to the office tables T1 and T3 performs office work that does not require high illuminance. For this reason, work is performed only under illumination from the ambient illumination unit 10 without operating the selection unit 40 (switch units 41 and 43).

Next, a case where there is an office table T in which the adjacent table K and the conversation table JA are set to overlap is described.
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a case where the adjacent table K and the conversation table JA are set in an overlapping manner.
In this case, the control unit 50 treats (sets) this office table T as the conversation table JA.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the office workers H and the like heading for the office tables T5 and T6 have a meeting. For example, when the selection button 45A of the switch unit 45 is pressed by the office worker H or the like heading for the office table T5 and the office table T5 is set to the conversation table JA, the task illumination 25 corresponding to the office table T5 is turned on. Turns on and illuminates a wider area (25 W) than the office table T5. In addition, the speakers 31, 36 are sounded for the office tables T1, T6 (adjacent table K) adjacent to the office table T5.
Thereafter, when the selection button 46A of the switch unit 46 is pressed by the office worker H or the like heading for the office table T6 and the office table T6 is set to the conversation table JA, the office table T6 is connected to the adjacent table K. This means that the conversation table JA is set in duplicate.
At the same time, since the office table T6 is set as the conversation table JA, the office tables T2, T5, and T7 become the adjacent table K, so that the adjacent table K and the conversation table JA are also set in the office table T5. become.

Therefore, the control unit 50 treats the office tables T5 and T6 as the conversation table JA. That is, a wider range (25 W, 26 W) than the office tables T 5, T 6 is illuminated in the wide illumination mode W of the task illuminations 25, 26.
Further, while stopping the speaker 36 from sounding, the speakers 32 and 37 are sounded to the office tables T2 and T7 adjacent to the office table T6. For the office table T5 adjacent to the office table T6, the speaker 35 is not sounded because it is a conversation table JA.

  If the office tables T set in the conversation table JA are adjacent to each other, the speakers 35 and 36 may be sounded for the conversation table JA (office tables T5 and T6). This is different from the case of the office table JB in that the illumination continues in the wide illumination mode W. This makes it difficult to hear each other's conversation.

Next, a case where there is an office table T in which the adjacent table K and the office table JB are set to overlap is described.
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a case where the adjacent table K and the office table JB are set in an overlapping manner.
In this case, when there is an office table T in which the adjacent table K and the office table JB overlap, the control unit 50 treats (sets) the office table T as the office table JB.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, three office workers H heading for the office table T5 are having a meeting. The office worker H heading for the office table T6 is performing an office without conversation.
For example, when the selection button 45A of the switch unit 45 is pressed by the office worker H or the like heading for the office table T5 and the office table T5 is set to the conversation table JA, the task illumination 25 corresponding to the office table T5 is turned on. Turns on and illuminates a wider area (25 W) than the office table T5. Further, the office tables T1 and T6 adjacent to the office table T5 become the adjacent table K, and the speakers 31 and 36 are sounded in response thereto.
Thereafter, when the selection button 46B of the switch unit 46 is pressed by the office worker H heading for the office table T6 and the office table T6 is set to the office table JB, the office table T6 is connected to the adjacent table K and the office table. The table JB is set in duplicate.

  Therefore, the control unit 50 treats the office table T6 as the office table JB. That is, the same range (26S) as the office table T6 is illuminated in the narrow range illumination mode S of the task illumination 26. Further, the state where the speaker 36 is sounding is maintained.

As described above, in the office environment adjustment system 1, when any of the office tables T is set to the conversation table JA (meeting mode) by the operation of the selection unit 40 (selection buttons 41A to 48A), this conversation The task illumination unit 20 for the table JA is turned on. As a result, the office workers H and the like who perform work with conversation at the conversation table JA can concentrate on the work (conversation). Further, since the task lighting unit 20 illuminates the conversation table JA and the workers H who are heading toward the conversation table JA, it is possible to concentrate on the work (conversation).
At the same time, the sound masking unit 30 for the adjacent table K adjacent to the conversation table JA sounds. As a result, the worker H who works at the adjacent table K has difficulty in hearing the conversation content from the conversation table JA, and does not cause a decrease in concentration.

In the office environment adjustment system 1, when any of the office tables T is set to the office table JB (concentrated mode) by the operation of the selection unit 40 (select buttons 41B to 48B), the task illumination for the office table JB is set. While the unit 20 is turned on, the sound masking unit 30 for this office table JB sounds. Thereby, the office worker H who works at the office table JB can concentrate on the office work without being disturbed by surrounding sounds (such as conversation).
Further, since the task lighting unit 20 illuminates only the office table JB, it is possible to concentrate on work.

  Various shapes, combinations, and the like of the constituent members shown in the above-described embodiments are examples, and various modifications can be made based on design requirements and the like without departing from the gist of the present invention.

Although the office table of the present invention has been described with reference to the office table T on which four office workers H can be seated, the present invention is not limited to this. The number of office workers H who can be seated at the office table T may be other than four.
It may be a case where a chair is not attached to the office table T (standing table).

The number of office tables T arranged in the meeting room R is not limited to eight.
There may be one office table. In this case, for example, in one meeting table where five or more workers H can be seated, an area where about 2 to 4 persons can be seated is defined as an office area of the present invention. That is, a plurality of areas in one meeting table are handled in the same manner as the office tables T1 to T8.

  The office area is not limited to the office table, and may be only a fixed chair. It is also included in the work of the present invention to have a conversation or operate a notebook computer while sitting in such a chair.

  Office work involving conversation includes conversation over the telephone, etc., where the other party is not present.

Although the meeting room R has been described as the office of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to this.
There may be a case where an office table capable of meeting or the like is arranged in a part of the office room. In other words, the office room may not be a partitioned room, but may be a large room. In this case, fixed office desks arranged in the vicinity may be treated as an office table.

  The office may be a customer service counter at a store or the like (bank, hospital, pharmacy, etc.) and an office desk behind it. That is, the present invention can also be applied to stores and the like. In this case, the customer service counter can be the conversation area, and the office desk can be the office area.

  The switch units 41 to 48 of the selection unit 40 may be concentrated on the wall surface of the meeting room R or the like. The switch units 41 to 48 may be remote control type switches.

  The selection unit 40 may be constructed on a homepage created on the WEB server of the in-house LAN. In this case, a smartphone, a tablet, or a laptop computer owned by the office worker H is wirelessly connected to the in-house LAN, and the homepage selection unit 40 is operated.

  The selection unit 40 may include detection means such as various human sensors and sound sensors instead of the switch units 41 to 48. When the human sensor detects the worker H seated on the office table T, the office table T is set (selected) as the current office table J. Further, when the human sensor detects that a plurality of office workers H are seated and the sound sensor detects a conversation, this office table T is set (selected) as the conversation table JA. On the other hand, when only one office worker H is seated or the sound sensor does not detect a conversation, this office table T is set (selected) as the office table JB.

The illumination intensity and color temperature of the illumination from the ambient illumination unit 10 and the task illumination unit 20 may be arbitrarily changed. In particular, the illumination intensity and color temperature of the illumination of the task illumination unit 20 may be adjustable for each office table T. Further, the illumination range of the task illumination unit 20 may be arbitrarily changed for each office table T.
Further, the frequency and magnitude of the sound from the sound masking unit 30 may be arbitrarily changed.
