Communication support device, communication support system, and communication support method

Abstract

The invention provides a communication supporting device, a communication supporting device and a communication supporting method. Communication density within an organization is effectively increased, and triangular structures are increased in a network. A network structure of a plurality of persons is formed on the basis of data indicating communication among plurality of persons. Thereafter, a first person whose communication is to be improved is specified from the data indicating the communication, and a second person and a third person for increasing triangular structures around the first person in the network structure are specified. Then, display data for prompting communication between the second person and the third person is output.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to systems that support communication within organizations, and more particularly to techniques for improving communication in organizations. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the development of small wireless sensor nodes equipped with sensor functions (hereinafter referred to as sensor nodes), and sensor network systems composed of repeaters, base stations, and sensor network management servers (hereinafter referred to as management servers) has progressed. A sensor node observes the state of a person or a place (sensor data), relays the observed sensor data in multiple hops through a repeater, and transmits the observed sensor data to a management server via a base station. The management server performs various processing based on the received sensor data. [0003] The key devices in sensor network systems are sensor nodes characterized by small size and low power. Although the sensor node is small, it can be i...

Problems solved by technology

In such a situation, even if it is known that there is a relationship between the number of triangles and productivity, and it is actually used in the organization, there are various problems as shown below, and it is difficult to increase in the actual workplace.

[0013] The first reason is that it is difficult for the person who communicates or the manager who manages the organization to grasp in real time whether the triangle increases when who communicates with whom.

In fact, after distributing the sensor device to the subject and measuring the communication network, the subject imagined that there is a triangle around him, that is, whether the other party communicating with him or her is communicating with each other, but it is difficult to predict with high accuracy

[0014] The second reason is that even if there is a goal of increasing triangles by communicating with whom, there is no means for the person or the manager to know in real time whether a triangle is actually formed

Therefore, there is the problem of not forming the triangle sufficiently, or taking the time to implement the same communication even though the triangle has been formed

Furthermore, there is no body that knows whether the communication intended to increase is actually being actively carried out, i.e. the quality of the communication

Therefore, there is no way of knowing whether you are simply in the same venue, or if a meaningful discussion has taken place

[0015] The third reason is that even if the intention is to increase the number of triangles, only by gathering people who have met for the first time, because they do not know each other's background and areas of expertise, it takes time to consciously share

[0017] The fifth reason is that in order to continuously and efficiently increase triangles, there are no cases where triangles are increased well and cases where triangles are not increased, etc. are stored.

[0019] From the above reasons, it has been known that people with higher cohesion have higher productivity, but it is practically difficult to increase cohesion, that is, to increase triangles.
