Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[Overview]
The guidance notification system of the present embodiment is applied to a building in which a place for office work (hereinafter, also referred to as “workplace”) is divided into a plurality of areas. For example, when a demand response signal is received from an electric power company, the guidance notification system is an air conditioning facility according to the power consumption in all areas of the building, the power saving required by the demand response, and the usage status of each area. Generate a plan to save electricity in lighting equipment.
Based on this plan, the guidance notification system sets, for example, an area to be power-saving from a plurality of areas and sets a priority of the area to be power-saving. In accordance with this plan, the guidance notification system issues notifications (hereinafter, also referred to as "behavior-inducing notifications") that induce users to take actions to cooperate in saving electricity in order from users located in the upper areas. Do.

For example, the action of cooperating with the power saving performed by the user (hereinafter, also referred to as "power saving action") is to move the area, turn off (stop) the air conditioner in the area, or turn off (turn off) the lighting equipment in the area. ), Task air conditioning in the area (only part of the air conditioning equipment in the area is turned on (operating)), task lighting in the area (only part of the lighting equipment in the area is turned on (lit)), etc. It is a power saving action. When the user receives the notification of the action trigger notification from the guidance notification system, the user notifies the guidance notification system of the answer indicating the content of the power saving action performed by the user. The guidance notification system controls the operating state of the air conditioning equipment and the lighting equipment based on the response from the user to this behavior-inducing notification.
Then, the guidance notification system advances the action-inducing notification in order from the top users until the target power saving amount is achieved, and gradually reduces the power consumption in the air conditioning equipment, the lighting equipment, and the like.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an outline of the operation of the guidance notification system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1A shows a state before the user performs a power saving action, and shows a state when the first action trigger notification is performed. FIG. 1B shows a state after the first action-inducing notification is given to the user, and shows a state when the second action-inducing notification is given. FIG. 1C shows the final state after the second action trigger notification is given to the user. In addition, FIGS. 2A and 2B are explanatory views showing an example of the ranking of users who are the targets of the action induction notification. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a change in power consumption when an action-induced notification is given.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the workplace of the building 2 is divided into four areas, A area 11, B area 12, C area 13, and D area 14. Then, for the sake of simplicity, it is assumed that each of the areas 11, 12, 13 and 14 has the same area and the number of users in each area can be accommodated. For example, the maximum number of people that can be accommodated in each area is seven.
The number of target areas may be any number of two or more, and the target areas may be arranged over a plurality of floors. In addition, the area of each area and the number of people that can be accommodated may be different from each other.
Further, in the following description, "A area 11" may be described as "area 11", "B area 12" may be described as "area 12", and "C area 13" may be described as "area 13". , And "D area 14" may be described as "area 14".

Then, in the state before the action trigger notification shown in FIG. 1A is performed, the users 21 to 33 are located in the respective areas 11, 12, 13, and 14, and the areas 11, 12, 13, and 14 are located. It is assumed that all the air conditioning equipment and lighting equipment (not shown) in all 14 areas are ON (operating state). In the state shown in FIG. 1A, the guidance notification system 1 uses the areas 11, 12, 13, and 14 by communicating with the mobile terminals 50 possessed by the users 21 to 33, respectively. Detect the situation.

In the case shown in this figure, the guidance notification system 1 detects that the user 21 is located in the A area 11 as the usage status of each of the areas 11, 12, 13 and 14, and the user 22 in the B area 12. Detects the location of 24. Further, the guidance notification system 1 detects that the users 25 to 29 are located in the C area 13, and detects that the users 30 to 33 are located in the D area 14. That is, the guidance notification system 1 detects that the total number of users located in each of the areas 11, 12, 13, and 14 is 13.
In the following description, "user 20" may be described when any of users 21 to 33 is indicated, or when all of users 21 to 33 are indicated.

Then, in the guidance notification system 1, for example, since the total number of users 20 is 13 and the capacity of each area is 7, users 21 to 33 can be assigned to the two areas. , Judge that the number of areas used by users can be reduced. The guidance notification system 1 allocates users 21 to 33 to two areas as a power saving plan most suitable for maximizing the power saving effect, and becomes absent when the users move to the two areas 13 and 14. Generate a plan that gives top priority to turning off the air conditioning equipment and lighting equipment in areas 11 and 12.

The method of allocating the users 21 to 33 to the two areas is, for example, "area 11 and area 12", "area 13 and area 14", "area 11 and area 13", "area 12 and area 14", and the like. There are many ways. In this way, when there are a plurality of patterns to which the user 20 is assigned, the guidance notification system 1 determines the pattern in which the number of users 20 moving in the area is the smallest as the recommended pattern, and based on the determination, "C area". 13 and D area 14 ”are determined as patterns suitable for assigning users 21 to 33.
Then, as shown in the order table of the action trigger notification in FIG. 2A, the guidance notification system 1 sets the user 21 located in the A area 11 as the first target person when the first action trigger notification is performed. , Users 22 to 24 located in B area 12 are the second target users, users 25 to 29 in C area 13 are the third target users, and users 30 to 33 in D area 14 are the third target users. The target person is the 4th place.

Then, in the example shown in FIG. 1A, the guidance notification system 1 is the first action-inducing notification for the mobile terminal 50 of the first-ranked user 21 located in the A area 11. The second action trigger notification 51 is performed. In addition, the guidance notification system 1 issues the first action trigger notification 52 to the mobile terminals 50 of the second-ranked users 22 to 24 located in the B area 12 as the first action trigger notification.

The guidance notification system 1 requests the user 21 to consent to "move to the C area" by the first action trigger notification 51, and when the area cannot be moved, the guidance notification system 1 "moves to the area C". The power saving action of "task lighting", "task air conditioning", "air conditioning OFF", or "lighting OFF" is selected (FIG. 10).
In addition, the guidance notification system 1 requests the consent of each of the users 22 to 24 to "move to the D area" by the first action trigger notification 52, and is unable to move the area. , The area is made to select the power saving action of "task lighting", "task air conditioning", "air conditioning OFF", or "lighting OFF".
In the example shown in FIG. 1A, both the action-inducing notification 51 for the user 21 in the A area 11 and the action-inducing notification 52 for the users 22 to 24 in the B area 12 are the first actions. Although an example of performing the action at the stage of the trigger notification is shown, the action trigger notification 51 and the action trigger notification 52 may be divided into different stages.

Then, the user 21 of the A area 11 selects to move the area in response to the first action trigger notification 51, and moves to the C area 13. On the other hand, the users 22 to 24 in the B area 12 ignore the first action trigger notification 52 and stay in the B area 12 as they are. As a result, the location status of the users and the operating status of the air conditioning equipment and the lighting equipment in each of the areas 11, 12, 13, and 14 are as shown in FIG. 1 (B). That is, in the area A 11 where the user is absent, the air conditioning equipment and the lighting equipment are turned off. On the other hand, the air-conditioning equipment and the lighting equipment in the areas 12, 13 and 14 are kept in the ON state as they are.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the first action trigger notification is performed at time t1, and by moving to the C area 13 of the user 21, the A area 11 becomes an absent area where there is no user. Then, when the guidance notification system 1 turns off the air conditioning equipment and the lighting equipment in the area A 11, the power consumption P in the building 2 decreases from the power value P1 to the power value P2 at the time t1a after the time t1. .. However, the power value P2 exceeds the power value Pd (DR threshold value) required by the demand response (DR). Therefore, the guidance notification system 1 performs the second action trigger notification in order to further reduce the power consumption P.

Then, when the second action-inducing notification is given, the ranking of the users who are the targets for promoting the power-saving action is corrected based on the result of the user's power-saving action in response to the first action-inducing notification. That is, the user 21 moves from the A area 11 to the C area 13, and the users 22 to 24 in the B area 12 remain as they are. Therefore, as shown in the table of FIG. 2B, the users 22 to 24 who remain in the B area 12 are the first target users in the ranking of the users who are the targets for promoting the power saving action, and the C area 13 is the target user. Users 21, 25 to 29 are the second-ranked target users, and users 30 to 33 in the D area 14 are the third-ranked target users.
That is, the guidance notification control unit 130 uses the result of the power saving action of the user 20 (or the result of the response of the user 20) for the first action-induced notification and the use of the areas 11, 12, 13, and 14, respectively. Determine the order in which the second action trigger notification 442 will be sent based on the situation. Then, the guidance notification control unit 130 controls the notification unit 110 so that the user 20 selected according to the determined order is individually notified of the second action trigger notification 442.

Then, as the second action-inducing notification, the guidance notification system 1 urges the users 22 to 22 in the B area 12 to take a power-saving action with a message indicating that the power-saving target has not been achieved yet. The action trigger notification 53 is performed. For example, the guidance notification system 1 asks the users 22 to 24 for consent to "move to the D area", and if the area cannot be moved, "task lighting" the area or "task". The power saving action of "air conditioning", "air conditioning OFF", or "lighting OFF" is selected (FIG. 12).
In addition, as the second action-inducing notification, the guidance notification system 1 sends a message to the users 21, 25 to 29 located in the C area 13 indicating that the power saving target has not been achieved yet. The action trigger notification 54 for selecting the power saving action is performed. For example, the guidance notification system 1 makes the area select a power saving action of "task lighting", "task air conditioning", "air conditioning OFF", or "lighting OFF".

By the notification of the second action trigger notification 53, the users 22 and 24 located in the B area 12 move to the D area 14. Further, it is assumed that the user 23 located in the B area 12 selects task air conditioning and task lighting as a power saving action and stays in the B area 12 as it is. Then, since the user 23 stays in the B area 12, the guidance notification system 1 switches the control of the air conditioning equipment and the lighting equipment to the task control in the B area 12. That is, the guidance notification system 1 detects the location position of the user 23 in the B area 12, switches the air conditioning equipment in the B area 12 to the task air conditioning, and also switches the lighting equipment to the task lighting.
Further, according to the second action trigger notification 54, the users 21, 25 to 29 located in the C area 13 select the task lighting. As a result, task lighting is performed in the C area 13.

As a result of the second action trigger notification 54, as shown in FIG. 1C, the air conditioning equipment and the lighting equipment are turned off in the A area 11, and the task air conditioning and the task lighting are turned off in the B area 12. In the C area 13, task lighting is performed. Further, in the D area 14, all the ON states of the air conditioner and the lighting equipment are continued as they are.
The task lighting performed in the C area 13 is performed, for example, by turning off the lighting equipment in the portion near the window in the C area 13 and turning on the lighting equipment in the portion away from the window.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the second action-inducing notification is performed at time t2, and the user 20 performs a power saving action in response to the second action-inducing notification. Then, based on this power saving action, the guidance notification system 1 controls the air conditioning equipment and the lighting equipment, so that the power consumption P in the building 2 is the power value from the power value P2 at the time t2a after the time t2. It drops to P3. As a result, the power consumption P in the building 2 becomes equal to or less than the power value Pd (DR threshold value) required in the demand response. As a result, in the guidance notification system, the power consumption P in the building 2 can be reduced to the power value Pd (DR threshold value) or less required by the demand response.

If the power consumption in the building 2 cannot be reduced to the power value Pd or less despite the second action trigger notifications 53 and 54, the guidance notification system 1 further increases 3 It is possible to perform a predetermined number of action trigger notifications, such as the fourth and fourth times. That is, the guidance notification system 1 can repeat the action trigger notification to the user 20 until the power consumption in the building 2 is reduced to the power value Pd (DR threshold value) or less required by the demand response.
Then, if the power consumption in the building 2 cannot be reduced to the power value Pd or less even after repeating the action trigger notification a predetermined number of times, the guidance notification system 1 implements a predetermined forced control plan. For example, the A area 11 implements forced control such as turning off the air conditioners in each of the areas 12, 13 and 14 at once.

In this way, the guidance notification system 1 notifies only the specific user 20 who is the target of promoting the power saving action according to the location status of the user in each of the areas 11, 12, 13, and 14. .. That is, the guidance notification system 1 does not give vague action-inducing notifications to the users 20 in all areas 11, 12, 13, and 14, but identifies the users 20 who need power saving actions. Give action trigger notification. As a result, the guidance notification system 1 can enhance the effect of the action-inducing notification to the user 20. In addition, the guidance notification system 1 can give an option to the power saving action performed by the user 20 when the action trigger notification is given to the user 20. Further, the guidance notification system 1 can reduce the target power consumption by taking necessary and sufficient power saving measures with respect to the power saving amount required by the demand response.
As a result, the guidance notification system 1 of the present embodiment can reduce the power consumption in the building while considering the demands of the building users.

(Configuration example of guidance notification system 1)
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the guidance notification system 1. The guidance notification system 1 includes each facility arranged in each of the areas 11, 12, 13, and 14 in the building 2, a guidance notification server 100, and a user position detection server 200. Further, the guidance notification server 100 is connected to the electric power company server 300 via the communication network 310. For example, the guidance notification server 100 receives a demand response signal requesting reduction of power consumption in the building 2 from the electric power company server 300.
The example shown in FIG. 4 shows an example in which the building 2 has four areas of areas 11, 12, 13, and 14 as workplaces, but the number of areas is set to an arbitrary number of two or more. Also, each of the areas 11, 12, 13 and 14 may be located on a plurality of floors.

In the guidance notification system 1, beacon stations 61, 62, 63, 64 (position detection) that transmit radio wave beacons to the user's mobile terminal 50 in each of the areas 11, 12, 13, and 14 in the building 2. Means) are arranged respectively. Further, in each of the areas 11, 12, 13 and 14, air conditioners 71, 72, 73 and 74 for adjusting the temperature (or temperature and humidity) in each area are arranged. Further, in each of the areas 11, 12, 13 and 14, environmental sensors 91, 92, 93 and 94 for monitoring the temperature and the like in each area are arranged.

Each of the users 20 located in the building 2 has a mobile terminal 50 such as a smartphone. For example, application software corresponding to a radio beacon transmitted by a radio base station (beacon station) or the like is pre-installed in the mobile terminal 50. The mobile terminal 50 uses its own mobile terminal ID (identification information) and the ID (identification information) of the beacon station included in the received radio beacon by processing the above application software in response to the reception of the radio beacon. It is transmitted to the person position detection server 200.

Each of the beacon stations 61, 62, 63, and 64 broadcasts a radio beacon including its own ID information to the mobile terminal 50. For example, when the mobile terminal 50 of the user 20 located in the A area 11 receives the radio beacon transmitted from the beacon station 61 installed in the A area 11, the radio beacon transmitted from another beacon station is received. The reception sensitivity level is higher than in the case. The same applies to the beacon station 62 installed in the B area 12, the beacon station 63 in the C area 13, and the beacon station 64 in the D area 14.

Beacon stations 61, 62, 63, 64 may transmit radio beacons at predetermined cycles (intervals) without being controlled by the user position detection server 200.
The operations of these beacon stations 61, 62, 63, and 64 may be controlled by the user position detection server 200. For example, when the user position detection server 200 detects the location status of the user 20 located in the areas 11, 12, 13, and 14, the user position detection server 200 issues a "beacon activation command" to the beacon stations 61, 62, 63, and 64. Is output. When the beacon stations 61, 62, 63, and 64 acquire the "beacon activation command" from the user position detection server 200, they immediately transmit a radio beacon to the mobile terminal 50.

For example, the beacon station 61 transmits (broadcasts) a radio beacon including the ID information of the beacon station 61 centering on the installed A area 11. When the user's mobile terminal 50 located in the A area 11 receives the radio wave beacon from the beacon station 61, it receives "ID information of the beacon station 61" and "received signal strength (RSSI) of the beacon of the beacon station 61". "Own ID information of the mobile terminal 50" is transmitted to the user position detection server 200. For example, the mobile terminal 50 transmits "ID information of the beacon station 61" and "ID information of the mobile terminal 50 itself" to the user position detection server 200 via a communication line.

The user position detection server 200 (position detection means) includes "ID information of the beacon station 61" received from the mobile terminal 50, "reception signal strength (RSSI) of the beacon of the beacon station 61", and "the mobile terminal 50. Based on the "ID information", the location status of the user 20 in each of the areas 11, 12, 13, and 14 is detected. When the mobile terminal 50 receives a beacon from a beacon station other than the beacon station 61, the mobile terminal 50 receives "ID information of the beacon station", "reception signal strength (RSSI) of the beacon of the beacon station", and "portable terminal 50". ID information "is transmitted to the user position detection server 200. For example, the user position detection server 200 may detect the location status of a specific mobile terminal by using the received signal strength of the beacon of each beacon station received from the specific mobile terminal in a predetermined period of time. Good. For example, in the determination of the location status, it may be determined that the probability of being located in the vicinity of the beacon station having the highest received signal strength is high.
The same applies to the beacon stations 62, 63, 64 in each of the areas 12, 13, and 14. The location status detection algorithm is not limited to the one illustrated above, and other methods may be used.

As a result, the user position detection server 200 detects whether the user 20 is located in any of the areas 11, 12, 13, and 14. That is, the user position detection server 200 detects the position of the user 20 by using each area divided into areas 11, 12, 13, and 14 as a unit of area classification. Then, the user position detection server 200 provides information on the location status of the user 20 and the number of users in each of the areas 11, 12, 13, and 14 based on the position detection information of the user 20. Is output to the guidance notification server 100 as "usage status" information.
In the following description, "beacon station 60" may be described when any of beacon stations 61, 62, 63, and 64 is indicated, all of them are indicated, or when the beacon stations are collectively referred to.
Further, the user position detection server 200 further subdivides any of the above areas 11, 12, 13, and 14 into a plurality of small areas, and arranges a beacon station 60 in each of the small areas. The position of the user 20 can be detected by using a small area as a unit of area division. An example of detecting the position of the user 20 using this small area as a unit of area division will be described later.

Further, in the guidance notification system 1 of the present embodiment, when the mobile terminal 50 transmits / receives data to / from the user position detection server 200 and the guidance notification server 100, the mobile base station of the telecommunications carrier (not shown). ) May be used for communication. Alternatively, the mobile terminal 50 may perform communication between the user position detection server 200 and the guidance notification server 100 by a wireless LAN (Wireless LAN). Further, for example, a radio station (for example, a beacon station 60) that communicates using Bluetooth (registered trademark) is installed in each of the areas 11, 12, 13, and 14, and the mobile terminal 50 is a radio station (for example, a beacon station 60). , Beacon station 60) may be used to communicate with the user position detection server 200 and the guidance notification server 100. The communication line between the mobile terminal 50, the user position detection server 200, and the guidance notification server 100 can be configured by appropriately combining wireless communication and wired communication.

Further, in the following description, when any one of areas 11, 12, 13 and 14 is indicated, or when all of them are indicated, it may be described as "area 10". Further, when any one of the air conditioners 71, 72, 73, and 74 is shown, or when all of them are shown, it may be described as "air conditioner 70". Further, when any one of the lighting equipments 81, 82, 83, and 84 is indicated, or when all of them are indicated, it may be described as "lighting equipment 80". Further, when any one of the environmental sensors 91, 92, 93, and 94 is indicated, or when all of them are indicated, it may be described as "environmental sensor 90".

The guidance notification server 100 includes a notification unit 110, a response collection unit 150, a device control unit 160, an input / output unit 170, and a storage unit 180. Further, the notification unit 110 includes a plan draft generation unit 120, a guidance notification control unit 130, and an operation plan adjustment unit 140.
The input / output unit 170 includes a display device such as a liquid crystal display and an input device such as a mouse and a keyboard. The input device of the input / output unit 170 is used, for example, to input data or the like required when the guidance notification server 100 executes the action trigger notification process on the mobile terminal 50 of the user 20. The guidance notification server 100 stores the data input from the input device in the storage unit 180. Further, the display device of the input / output unit 170 includes information on the location status of the user 20 located in each area 10, information on ON / OFF (operating state) of the air conditioner 70 and the lighting equipment 80, and information in the area 10. Display environment detection information such as temperature and humidity.

The notification unit 110 acquires information on the usage status of each area 10 from the user position detection server 200. Further, the notification unit 110 acquires information on the total power consumption of the building 2 and the power consumption of the air conditioning equipment 70 and the lighting equipment 80 in each area 10 from the device control unit 160. Then, when the notification unit 110 receives a demand response signal requesting power saving from the power company server 300, the notification unit 110 executes an action-inducing notification process for urging the user 20 to save power.
Alternatively, the notification unit 110 sends the user 20 a signal generated according to a predetermined schedule managed by timer control or the like, for example, a signal generated at a predetermined timing between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm. Executes the processing of the action trigger notification that promotes the power saving action.

When the plan draft generation unit 120 of the notification unit 110 receives, for example, a demand response signal requesting power saving from the electric power company server 300, the air conditioning equipment 70 and the lighting equipment in each of the areas 11, 12, 13, and 14 Generate a plan to control the operating state of 80 for power saving.
For example, the plan generation unit 120 determines the current power consumption in the building 2, the power saving amount required by the demand response, the usage status of each area 10, and the power of the air conditioning equipment 70 and the lighting equipment 80 in each area 10. Generate a plan to implement power saving measures based on the amount of consumption.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of setting power saving measures in the draft plan. As shown in FIG. 5, the plan draft generation unit 120 notifies the user 20 in the area where the number of people is small to move to another area, and the area where the user 20 is absent. Turning off the air conditioner 70 and the lighting equipment 80 is the first priority power saving measure.
In addition, the plan generation unit 120 sets the area where the user 20 is located as a task lighting as the second power saving measure with the consent of the user 20, and the user 20 with the consent of the user 20. The third power saving measure is to make the area where the building is located into task air conditioning. In addition, the plan generation unit 120 sets the fourth power saving measure to turn off the air conditioning in the area where the user 20 is located with the consent of the user 20, and the user 20 with the consent of the user 20. Turning off the lighting in the area where 20 are located is the fifth power saving measure.

In addition, the plan generation unit 120 sets the sixth power saving measure (forced power saving) to turn off the air conditioning in the area where the user 20 is located without the consent of the user 20. In addition, the plan draft generation unit 120 sets the seventh power saving measure (forced power saving) to turn off the lighting of the edge where the user 20 is located without the consent of the user 20.
The plan plan generation unit 120 sets the above power saving measures as the plan plan 431, and sets the area 10 to be notified of the action induction and its priority as the plan plan 431 based on the order of the power saving measures. To do. The plan draft generation unit 120 supplies the plan draft 431 to the guidance notification control unit 130 and the operation plan adjustment unit 140.
Note that FIG. 5 shows an example of power saving measures, and the contents of the power saving measures and the setting of the order can be changed as appropriate.

The guidance notification control unit 130 of the notification unit 110 acquires the plan draft from the plan draft generation unit 120. The guidance notification control unit 130 sets the order of the users 20 in the area for which the action trigger notification is to be performed based on the plan plan acquired from the plan plan generation unit 120, and induces the action in order from the top user 20. Make a notification. The ranking of the user 20 to be notified of the action induction changes according to the result of the response from the user 20 to the action induction notification (or the result of the power saving action performed by the user 20) (Fig.). 2A, FIG. 2B).
For example, the guidance notification control unit 130 determines the rank of the user 20 to be notified of the action trigger as the result of the response from the user 20 to the action trigger notification (or the result of the power saving action performed by the user 20). To change according to the following procedure. In the example shown in FIG. 1 (A) above, the guidance notification control unit 130 sends the first action trigger notification to the user 21 in the A area 11 and the users 22 to 24 in the B area 12. Do. That is, as shown in FIG. 2A, the user 21 in the A area 11 is ranked first, and the users 22 to 24 in the B area 12 are second in the ranking of the users when the first action trigger notification is performed. Become a place. Therefore, the first action trigger notification is sent to the users 21 in the A area 11 having the first rank and the users 22 to 24 in the B area 12 having the second rank.

Then, as a result of performing the first action trigger notification, the user 21 in the A area 11 moves to the C area 13, but this first action trigger notification is ignored by the users 22 to 24 in the B area 12. It is assumed that the power saving amount does not reach the power saving amount required by the demand response. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2B, the guidance notification control unit 130 sets the users 22 to 24 in the B area 12 ignoring the first action trigger notification as the first-ranked users, and in the C area 13. Users 21, 25 to 29 are designated as users 20 in the second place. Then, the second action trigger notification is sent to the users 22 to 24 in the B area 12 having the first rank and the users 21 and 25 to 29 in the C area 13 having the second rank.

When the guidance notification control unit 130 determines that the target power reduction is achieved based on the result of the response of the action trigger notification obtained from the user 20 which is the destination of the first action trigger notification, the second Do not send the action trigger notification to the user 20 who is the destination of the second action trigger notification.
For example, in the example shown in FIG. 1A, the notification unit 110 sets the user 21 in the A area 11 and the users 22 to 24 in the B area 12 as the first destinations, and makes the first action trigger notification. As a result of totaling the responses from this first destination, it is assumed that the desired power reduction has been achieved. In this case, the guidance notification control unit 130 does not send the second action trigger notification to the users 22 to 24 in the B area 12 and the users 21, 25 to 29 in the C area 13 as the second destination. To do so.

The response collection unit 150 collects responses to the action trigger notification from the user 20 respectively. In addition, the response analysis unit 151 of the response collection unit 150 aggregates the contents of the responses obtained from the user 20. The response analysis unit 151 supplies the aggregation result to the guidance notification control unit 130 and the operation plan adjustment unit 140.
The operation plan adjustment unit 140 adjusts the operation plans of the air conditioner 70 and the lighting equipment 80 based on the aggregation result obtained from the response analysis unit 151. The operation plan adjustment unit 140 supplies the adjusted operation plan to the device control unit 160.

The device control unit 160 acquires an operation plan adjusted by the operation plan adjustment unit 140, and controls the operating states of the air conditioning equipment 70 and the lighting equipment 80 according to the operation plan. For example, the device control unit 160 can turn on / off the air-conditioning equipment 70, change the air-conditioning temperature, turn on / off the lighting equipment 80, perform task air-conditioning, and perform task lighting or task lighting of the air-conditioning equipment 70 and the lighting equipment 80. Control the operating status. Further, when the device control unit 160 fails to achieve the target power saving amount even though the action trigger notification is given a predetermined number of times and the operation plan is adjusted according to the response result, the device control unit 160 is set to satisfy the target power saving amount. , The operating state of the air conditioner 70 and the lighting equipment 80 is forcibly controlled.
Further, the device control unit 160 sets the air conditioning equipment 70 and the lighting equipment so that the air conditioning temperature, brightness, etc. in the area 10 become predetermined target values based on the environment detection signal received from the environment sensor 90 in the area 10. Feedback control is performed on the operating state of 80.

The building 2 is equipped with a building equipment management device (not shown) that monitors the operating state and power consumption of the air conditioning equipment 70 and the lighting equipment 80, and the device control unit 160 is the building equipment management device. From, information on the total power consumption of the building 2 and the power consumption of the air conditioning equipment 70 and the lighting equipment 80 installed in each area 10 is acquired. The device control unit 160 sends information on the total power consumption of the building 2 and the power consumption of the air conditioning equipment 70 and the lighting equipment 80 in each area 10 to the plan draft generation unit 120 and the guidance notification control unit 130.

In FIG. 8, the notification unit 110 of the guidance notification server 100 receives, for example, the signal of the demand response 400 from the electric power company server 300, and starts the guidance notification process for urging the user 20 to perform a power saving action.

When this guidance notification process is started, the user position detection server 200 has the user 20 located in any of the areas 11, 12, 13, and 14 from the mobile terminal 50 of the user 20 in each area 10. The position detection information 411 is received. Alternatively, for example, when a plurality of beacon stations 61a, 61b, 61c are arranged in one area 11 as shown in FIG. 7, the user position detection server 200 has a small area in which the user 20 is one area 11. The position detection information 411 indicating the location in any of the regions 11A, 11B, and 11C is received. The same applies when a plurality of beacon stations are arranged in each of the other areas 12 to 14.

The user position detection server 200 detects the usage status of the user 20 in each area 10 based on the position detection information 411 of the user 20. For example, the user position detection server 200 uses information such as the location status of the user 20 in each area 10 and the number of people located in each area 10 as the usage status 412, and sets the plan of the notification unit 110 of the guidance notification server 100. It is supplied to the generation unit 120 and the guidance notification control unit 130.

The plan draft generation unit 120 acquires the usage status 412 of each area 10 from the user position detection server 200. Further, the plan generation unit 120 indicates “power consumption” indicating the current power consumption of the entire building 2 and the current power consumption of the air conditioning equipment 70 and the lighting equipment 80 in each area 10 from the device control unit 160.

The plan plan generation unit 120 supplies the generated plan plan 431 to the guidance notification control unit 130 and the operation plan adjustment unit 140. The draft plan 431 also includes information on areas to be saved and their priorities.

The guidance notification control unit 130 acquires the plan plan 431 from the plan plan generation unit 120. The guidance notification control unit 130 sets the order of the users 20 to be notified of the action trigger based on the plan plan 431 acquired from the plan plan generation unit 120. Then, the guidance notification control unit 130 generates the first action-inducing notification to the higher-ranking user 20, for example, the user 20 in the first and second ranks shown in FIG. 2A. The ranking of the user 20 to be notified of the action trigger changes according to the result of the response of the action trigger notification (or the result of the power saving action performed by the user 20) (FIGS. 2A and 2B). ..

Then, the guidance notification control unit 130 transmits the generated first action trigger notification (first notification) 441 to the mobile terminal 50 of the user 20 which is the destination of the action trigger notification. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 1A, the guidance notification control unit 130 transmits the first action trigger notification (FIG. 10) to the mobile terminal 50 of the user 21 in the A area 11. Further, the guidance notification control unit 130 transmits the first action trigger notification to the mobile terminals 50 of the users 22 to 24 in the B area 12.

(Second example of behavior trigger notification to notify the user)
FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing a second example of the action-inducing notification to be notified to the user's mobile terminal 50. The example of the action-inducing notification shown in FIG. 12 is, for example, in the example shown in FIG. 1 (B), the "second action-inducing notification 442" transmitted from the users 22 to 24 in the B area 12 to the mobile terminal 50. Is an example. The action-inducing notification 442 is an example of re-prompting the users 22 to 24 who did not perform the power-saving action even after performing the first action-inducing notification 441 to perform the power-saving action.
When the second action trigger notification 442 is transmitted from the guidance notification control unit 130 to the mobile terminals 50 of the users 22 to 24, each of the mobile terminals 50 of the users 22 to 24 acts on the display panel 501. The trigger notification screen 540 is displayed.

On this action trigger notification screen 540, message 541 prompting cooperation for power saving "Mr. XX has moved to the area for power saving cooperation. The power saving target has not been achieved. Please cooperate for further power saving. Is displayed. According to this message 541, the mobile terminal 50 states that "another user 20 has moved to the area in cooperation with power saving" and "the power saving target has not been achieved and further power saving is required". Notify each of users 22 to 24.
Further, on the action trigger notification screen 540, each of the users 22 to 24 has a "accept" key 542 that selects to approve the movement to the D area, and a "reject" key 543 that selects to refuse the movement. And are displayed.
Further, on the action trigger notification screen 540, an "accept" key 544 for selecting to consent to the task lighting of the B area 12 and a "reject" key 545 for selecting to reject are displayed. .. Further, on the action trigger notification screen 540, an "accept" key 546 for selecting to consent to the task air conditioning of the B area 12 and a "rejection" key 547 for selecting to reject are displayed. ..

Further, on the action trigger notification screen 540, an "accept" key 548 for selecting to consent to turn off the air conditioner 70 in the B area 12 and a "rejection" key 549 for selecting to reject are displayed. In addition, the "acceptance" key 550 for selecting to consent to turn off the lighting equipment 80 in the B area 12 and the "rejection" key 551 for selecting to reject are displayed. In addition, the "send" key 552 is displayed on the action trigger notification screen 540. These keys 542 to 552 are keys corresponding to touch operations.

In the example shown in FIG. 12, the keys 544 to 551 for selecting acceptance or refusal for each of task lighting, task air conditioning, air conditioning OFF, and lighting OFF are "rejection" keys for rejecting area movement. The operation becomes possible only when the touch operation is performed at the display position of 543.
That is, the users 22 to 24 touch the keys 544 to 551 to select approval or refusal for each of task lighting, task air conditioning, air conditioning OFF, and lighting OFF only when the area movement is refused. It becomes operable.

Then, on the action trigger notification screen 540, the mobile terminal 50 detects that the touch operation is performed at the display position of the "accept" key 542 or the display position of the "reject" key 543 for moving the area. As a result, the mobile terminal 50 acquires the selection result of approval or disapproval of the user's area movement.
The same applies to the keys 544 to 551 that select approval or disapproval for each of task lighting, task air conditioning, air conditioning OFF, and lighting OFF.

Then, the mobile terminal 50 acquires the selection result of approval / disapproval for area movement, the selection result of approval / disapproval of task lighting, the selection result of approval / disapproval of task air conditioning, and then the approval / disapproval of air conditioning OFF. After acquiring the selection result of, or after acquiring the selection result of acceptance / rejection of lighting OFF, it is detected that the touch operation is performed at the display position of the "send" key 552. In response to this detection, the mobile terminal 50 transmits an answer 452 indicating approval / disapproval of area movement, approval / disapproval of task lighting, approval / disapproval of task air conditioning, approval / disapproval of air conditioning OFF, and approval / disapproval of lighting OFF.

In this way, when the mobile terminals 50 of the users 22 to 24 receive the second action trigger notification 442 from the notification unit 110, the action trigger notification 442 is displayed on the display panel 501. Then, the mobile terminal 50 transmits the response 452 to the action trigger notification 442 to the response collecting unit 150 by detecting the touch operation performed on the display panel 501.
Then, as shown in the example of the action-inducing notification in FIG. 12, other users 22 to 24 who did not cooperate in power saving for the first action-inducing notification were cooperated in power saving by the message 541. By showing the information of the user 20, it is possible to strongly urge the users 22 to 24 who did not cooperate in the power saving to take the power saving action.

In the example shown in FIG. 12, the message 541 is an example of showing the information of the user 20 who has moved in the area in cooperation with power saving to another user 20 who does not cooperate in power saving, but is not limited to this. For example, the message 541 contains information on the user 20 who answered that the air conditioning OFF is selected, the user 20 who answered that the lighting OFF is selected, and the user 20 who answered that the task air conditioning or the task lighting is selected. It may be shown to another user 20 different from the user 20.
Further, the message 541 may notify another user 20 different from the user 20 of the information indicating the content of the action-inducing notification notified to the user 20. That is, when the guidance notification control unit 130 notifies a certain user 20 of the action-inducing notification, the guidance notification control unit 130 also notifies another user 20 different from the user 20 of the information indicating the content of the action-inducing notification to be notified. You may try to do it. For example, the guidance notification control unit 130 may notify another user 20 of the same content as the action-inducing notification to be notified to a certain user 20, or may match the size of the display frame of the message 541. You may notify with the contents edited as appropriate.
When the guidance notification control unit 130 notifies another user 20 of the information of the action trigger notification to be notified to a certain user 20, after notifying the certain user 20 of the action trigger notification, the action trigger notification is sent. The information may be notified to another user 20. Alternatively, the guidance notification control unit 130 may notify the other user 20 of the information of the action trigger notification before notifying the action trigger notification to the certain user 20.

(Third example of behavior trigger notification to notify the user)
FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing a third example of the action-inducing notification to be notified to the user's mobile terminal 50. The action trigger notification screen 560 shown in FIG. 13 is different from the action trigger notification screen 540 shown in FIG. 12 only in that a new message 561 is added on the action trigger notification screen 560. The other display portion is the same as the action trigger notification screen 540 shown in FIG. Therefore, the same display portions are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate description will be omitted.
In the action trigger notification screen 560 shown in FIG. 13, in the message 561, "current power consumption 60 kW", "target power consumption 50 kW", "forced power saving scheduled time 14:30", and "current time" 14:10 ", and notify the information.
As a result, the notification unit 110 makes the user 20 recognize that the current power consumption and the time when the forced control is executed are approaching. Therefore, the guidance notification system 1 can strongly urge the user 20 to take a power saving action.

(Process flow in guidance notification system 1)
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a processing flow in the guidance notification system 1. The guidance notification process shown in FIG. 14 is executed when a predetermined control request occurs. For example, the control request is a demand response signal for requesting power saving from the electric power company server 300, or a signal generated according to a predetermined schedule managed by timer control or the like.
Hereinafter, the flow of the guidance notification processing in the guidance notification system 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the user position detection server 200 detects the usage status of each of the areas 11, 12, 13, and 14. For example, each of the beacon stations 61, 62, 63, and 64 transmits radio beacons to the mobile terminal 50 of the user 20 at predetermined intervals. The mobile terminal 50 receives the radio beacon and notifies the user position detection server 200 of the reception result. The user position detection server 200 receives the information of the mobile terminal ID, the reception signal strength (RSSI) of the radio beacon, and the information of the beacon station ID from the mobile terminal 50 that has received the radio beacon. The user 20 located in each of the areas 11, 12, 13, and 14 is detected (step S100).

Subsequently, the plan generation unit 120 determines the current power consumption in the building 2, the power saving amount required by the demand response, the usage status of each area 10, and the air conditioning equipment 70 and the lighting equipment 80 of each area 10. Based on the power consumption, a draft plan 431 for executing power saving is generated. In this plan 431, the user 20 located in the area 10 to be saved power is notified in a multi-stage manner to induce action, and the power saving in the air conditioner 70 and the lighting equipment 80 is gradually promoted. It includes a plan for forced control such as turning off the air conditioner 70 in the area 10 at once. The plan plan generation unit 120 supplies the generated plan plan 431 to the guidance notification control unit 130 and the operation plan adjustment unit 140 (step S110).

Subsequently, the guidance notification control unit 130 sets the order of the users 20 to be notified of the action trigger based on the plan plan acquired from the plan plan generation unit 120. The guidance notification control unit 130 performs the first action trigger notification (first guidance) with the mobile terminal 50 of the user 20 having the higher rank as the first destination. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 1 (A), the guidance notification control unit 130 uses the mobile terminal 50 of the user 21 in the A area 11 in the highest ranking and the B area 12 in the second ranking. The first action trigger notification (first guidance) is performed with the mobile terminals 50 of the persons 22 to 24 as the first destination (step S120).

Subsequently, the response collecting unit 150 receives a response (first response) 451 from the mobile terminal 50 of each user 20 who has notified the first behavior trigger (first guidance) to the first behavior trigger notification. Collect each and aggregate the response results. Then, the response collecting unit 150 supplies the aggregation result 453 of the response 451 to the first action induction (first guidance) to the guidance notification control unit 130 and the operation plan adjustment unit 140 (step S130).

Subsequently, the operation plan adjustment unit 140 adjusts the operation plan 432 of the air conditioning equipment 70 and the lighting equipment 80 based on the aggregated result 453 of the response 451 to the first action trigger notification, and controls the operation plan 432. Supply to unit 160. The device control unit 160 controls the operating state of the air conditioner 70 and the lighting equipment 80 based on the operation plan 432 acquired from the operation plan adjustment unit 140 (step S140).

Subsequently, the guidance notification control unit 130 controls the operating states of the air conditioning equipment 70 and the lighting equipment 80 according to the operation plan 432 adjusted based on the aggregation result 453 of the response 451 of the first action trigger notification 441. To determine whether or not the desired power reduction has been achieved (step S150).
Then, when it is determined in step S150 that the target power reduction has been achieved (step S150: Yes), the guidance notification system 1 ends this guidance notification process.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S150 that the target power reduction has not been achieved (step S150: No), the guidance notification control unit 130 does not perform the power saving action for the first action trigger notification. The second destination is the person 20 or the user 20 in the order following the user 20 who was the target of the first action trigger notification. Then, the guidance notification control unit 130 performs the second action trigger notification 442 (second guidance) to the mobile terminal 50 of the second destination. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 1B, the notification unit 110 includes the mobile terminals 50 of the users 22 to 24 in the B area 12 and the users 21, 25 to 29 in the C area 13 who did not perform the power saving action. A second action trigger notification 442 is performed on the mobile terminal 50 (step S160).

Subsequently, the response collection unit 150 collects responses 452 from the mobile terminal 50 of each user 20 who has notified the second action induction. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 1 (B), the response collecting unit 150 is the second time from the mobile terminals 50 of the users 22 to 24 in the B area 12 and the mobile terminals 50 of the users 21, 25 to 29. 452 responses to the action-inducing notification 442 of the above are collected, and the response results are totaled. Then, the response collection unit 150 supplies the aggregation result 453 of the response 452 to the guidance notification control unit 130 and the operation plan adjustment unit 140 (step S170).

Subsequently, the operation plan adjustment unit 140 adjusts the operation plans of the air conditioning equipment 70 and the lighting equipment 80 based on the aggregated result 453 of the response 452 to the second action trigger notification 442, and controls the operation plan 432. Supply to unit 160. The device control unit 160 controls the operating state of the air conditioner 70 and the lighting equipment 80 based on the operation plan 432 acquired from the operation plan adjustment unit 140 (step S180).
Subsequently, the guidance notification control unit 130 controls the operating states of the air conditioning equipment 70 and the lighting equipment 80 according to the operation plan 432 adjusted based on the response result of the second action trigger notification 442, thereby achieving the purpose. It is determined whether or not the power reduction has been achieved (step S190).
Then, when it is determined in step S190 that the target power reduction has been achieved (step S190: Yes), the guidance notification system 1 ends this guidance notification process.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S190 that the desired power reduction has not been achieved (step S190: No), the device control unit 160 forces the air conditioner 70 and the lighting equipment 80 according to a predetermined forced control plan. Control (step S200).
Then, in step S200, the guidance notification system 1 ends the guidance notification process after switching the operating state of the air conditioner 70 and the lighting equipment 80 to forced control.
As a result, the guidance notification system 1 can reduce the power consumption in the building 2 while considering the request of the user 20 in the building 2.

In the example shown in FIG. 14, the air conditioner 70 and the lighting are used when the target power saving amount cannot be achieved even if the notification unit 110 gives the mobile terminal 50 of the user 20 the second action-inducing notification. An example of switching the operating state of the equipment 80 to forced control is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the notification unit 110 sends a desired number of action-inducing notifications, such as issuing a third action-inducing notification when the target power saving amount cannot be achieved even after the second action-inducing notification. It can be done for 20.

(Specific examples of ambient air conditioning and task air conditioning)
Next, specific examples of ambient control and task control will be described by taking the case of air conditioning as an example.
15 and 16 are explanatory views showing an example of ambient air conditioning and task air conditioning. FIG. 15 shows an example in the case of performing ambient air conditioning, and FIG. 16 shows an example in the case of performing task air conditioning. The example shown in FIGS. 15 and 16 is an example in which one area 10 is subdivided into three small regions 10A, 10B, and 10C. An air conditioner 70a and an environmental sensor 90a corresponding to the air conditioner 70a are arranged in the small area 10A. An air conditioner 70b and an environmental sensor 90b corresponding to the air conditioner 70b are arranged in the small area 10B. An air conditioner 70c and an environmental sensor 90c corresponding to the air conditioner 70c are arranged in the small area 10C.

That is, the area 10 is divided into three areas: a small area 10A where the air conditioning equipment 70a performs air conditioning, a small area 10B where the air conditioning equipment 70b performs air conditioning, and a small area 10C where the air conditioning equipment 70c performs air conditioning. Air conditioning is performed separately.
