[0042] Hereinafter, the present application will be described through embodiments of the application, but the following embodiments are not intended to limit the application covered by the claims. In addition, not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily essential to the solution of the application.

[0043] Figure 1is a block diagram showing an example of a risk information providing system 200 according to an embodiment of the present application. The risk information providing system 200 includes the risk information providing apparatus 100 and a portable terminal 300. The portable terminal 300 includes a CO2 sensor 400. The portable terminal 300 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet computer, an HMD (Head Mounted Display), a wearable device, or the like. The wearable device is a computer that can be worn on a part of the body such as an arm, a leg, a head, or the like. The wearable device is, for example, a smartwatch.

[0044] The CO2 sensor 400 measures the concentration of CO2 in the determination target 500. The determination target 500 refers to an object that is a target of determination related to the concentration of CO2. The object is, for example, a room in a house. The object can also be a prescribed space outside a house. The CO2 sensor 400 measures the concentration of CO2 510 contained in the air present in the object.

[0045] In a case where the determination target 500 is a room in a house, the portable terminal 300 can be disposed inside the room. In a case where the determination target 500 is a room in a house, the risk information providing apparatus 100 can be disposed inside the room or outside the room.

[0046] The condition of the concentration of CO2 510 in the determination target 500 is set as a condition Sd. The condition Sd is determined based on the change in the concentration of CO2 510 in the determination target 500 over time. The condition Sd refers to the degree of change in the concentration of CO2 510 in the determination target 500. The condition Sd refers to, for example, whether the degree of change in the concentration of CO2 510 in the determination target 500 is normal, whether the concentration of CO2 510 in the determination target 500 has suddenly changed, or whether the concentration of CO2 510 in the determination target 500 is rapidly approaching an abnormal value. A determination result obtained by determining the condition Sd is set as a determination result Rd.

[0047] In this example, the portable terminal 300 includes the determination unit 10. In this example, the determination unit 10 determines the condition Sd of the concentration of CO2 in the determination target 500 based on the change in the concentration of CO2 in the determination target 500 over time. The determination unit 10 can output the determination result Rd. The determination unit 10 can be a CPU (Central Processing Unit).

[0048] In this example, the portable terminal 300 is provided with a wireless transmission section 310. In this example, the wireless transmission section 310 transmits the determination result Rd obtained by the determination section 10 to the risk information providing apparatus 100.

[0049] The risk information providing apparatus 100 is provided with an information acquisition section 42 and a providing section 18. The information acquisition section 42 acquires risk information and risk countermeasure information. The risk information is set as risk information Ri, and the risk countermeasure information is set as risk countermeasure information Ir. The information acquisition section 42 can acquire the determination result Rd.

[0050] The risk information Ri is information on a risk corresponding to the situation Sd of the concentration of CO2 (carbon dioxide) 510 in the determination target 500. The information on the risk, for example, refers to information that the concentration of CO2 (carbon dioxide) 510 in the determination target 500 has suddenly changed, or is rapidly approaching an abnormal value, and the like.

[0051] The risk countermeasure information Ir is information for coping with the risk corresponding to the situation Sd. The information for coping with the risk, for example, refers to information that prompts a user of the risk information providing apparatus 100 to take an action for coping with the risk, information on a law related to public health of CO2 (carbon dioxide), information on an environmental score related to CO2 (carbon dioxide), advertisement information of a ventilation business in a case where the concentration of CO2 (carbon dioxide) 510 in the determination target 500 approaches an abnormal value, and the like. The risk countermeasure information Ir can include information for reducing the risk. The information acquisition section 42 can acquire the risk countermeasure information Ir through an Internet line.

[0052] The providing section 18 provides at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir. In this example, the providing section 18 has a control section 20, a display section 30, and a transmission section 50. The control section 20 can be a CPU (Central Processing Unit). In this example, the display section 30 displays at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir. The display section 30 can display at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir in a manner that can be recognized by a human visual sense. The display section 30, for example, is a display, a monitor, or the like. The risk information providing apparatus 100 can be a computer provided with the CPU, the display, a memory, an interface, and the like. The risk information providing apparatus 100 can also be a computer such as a tablet computer that can be portable.

[0053] The control section 20 can control the display section 30 to cause the display section 30 to display at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir. In the present example, the providing section 18 provides at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir to the user of the risk information providing apparatus 100 by causing the display section 30 to display at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir. Thereby, the user of the risk information providing apparatus 100 can know at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir.

[0054] The control section 20 can control the transmission section 50 to transmit the risk information Ri through the transmission section 50. In the present example, the providing section 18 provides the risk information Ri to the provision destination of the risk information Ri by causing the transmission section 50 to transmit the risk information Ri. The provision destination of the risk information Ri is set to a provision destination 52, which is a third party other than the owner of the risk information providing apparatus 100. The providing section 18 can provide the risk information Ri to the provision destination 52 through an Internet line. The providing section 18 can provide the risk information Ri to a plurality of provision destinations 52. Thereby, the provision destination 52 can know the risk information Ri.

[0055] In the present example, the provision destination 52-1 is a ventilation equipment manufacturer, the provision destination 52-2 is a calibration machine manufacturer, the provision destination 52-3 is a cleaning company, the provision destination 52-4 is a fire department, and the provision destination 52-5 is an electronic commerce company. The ventilation equipment manufacturer is, for example, a manufacturer of an air conditioner. In a case where the determination object 500 is a room in a house, the cleaning company is, for example, a company that cleans a duct for discharging air in the house to the outside of the house. The electronic commerce company is, for example, a company that sells goods via the Internet. These provision destinations are examples, and, for example, a company that uses an application program for air quality management, an insurance company, and the like can be included.

[0056] In the present example, the provider of the risk countermeasure information Ir is set to a provider 53. The provider of the risk countermeasure information Ir refers to a source of the risk countermeasure information Ir. The information acquisition section 42 can acquire the risk countermeasure information Ir provided by the provider 53. The information acquisition section 42 can acquire each of the risk countermeasure information Ir provided by a plurality of providers 53, respectively. In the present example, the provider 53-1 is a provider of an environmental score, and the provider 53-2 is a provider of public health information. In the present example, the provision destination 52 also provides the risk countermeasure information Ir.

[0057] The providing section 18 can provide the risk information Ri to the provision destination 52 and the provider 53. The information acquisition section 42 can acquire the risk countermeasure information Ir provided by the provider 53 and the provision destination 52.

[0058] The risk information providing apparatus 100 can further have an input section 16. The input section 16 is, for example, a mouse, a keyboard, or the like.

[0059] The risk response information Ir can include provision destination information regarding the provision destination 52 as a third party. The provision destination information is set as provision destination information Isp. The provision destination information Isp is, for example, information indicating that the provision destination 52-1 is a ventilator manufacturer.

[0060] In a case where the risk response information Ir is inputted by the input section 16, the provision section 18 can provide the risk information Ri to at least one of the provision destination 52 and the provider 53. The case where the risk response information Ir is inputted by the input section 16 can mean a case where the user of the risk information providing apparatus 100 inputs the risk response information Ir by the input section 16, or can mean a case where an electronic machine in a state capable of communicating with the risk information providing apparatus 100 automatically inputs the risk response information Ir.

[0061] The risk information providing apparatus 100 can also have a display section 30 having an input function instead of the input section 16. The display section 30 is, for example, a touch panel. In a case where the display section 30 is a touch panel, the user of the risk information providing apparatus 100 can input the risk response information Ir by the display section 30. Further, a plurality of provision destinations 52 can also be displayed on the display section 30. In this case, the display order, the display size, or the like of the plurality of provision destinations 52 can not be displayed randomly, but can be displayed in a priority order. For example, the order of the displayed manufacturers can be changed for each concentration range of carbon dioxide. Alternatively, display of a specific manufacturer can be performed with the highest priority.

[0062] In a case where the risk response information Ir is advertisement information provided by the provision destination 52-1 (the ventilator manufacturer), the input of the risk response information Ir means input of a request for the provision destination 52-1 to ventilate in order to eliminate the risk (for example, an abnormal value of the concentration of carbon dioxide). In a case where the risk response information Ir is the provider 53-1 (the provider of the environmental score regarding carbon dioxide), the input of the risk response information Ir means input of a request for the provision destination 52-1 to ventilate or input of a request for the provision destination 52-3 to clean in order to improve the environmental score.

[0063] The additional risk information regarding the risk in the determination target 500 and regarding the risk corresponding to the situation Sd is set as additional risk information Ria. As described above, the situation Sd is a situation of the concentration of carbon dioxide 510 in the determination target 500.

[0064] As described above, the situation Sd is determined based on a change in the concentration of CO2 510 over time in the determination target 500. It can be that the additional risk information Ria is not only risk information related to the risk corresponding to the situation Sd determined based on the change in the concentration of CO2 510 over time, but also risk information that the user of the risk information providing apparatus 100 notices. For example, in a case where the user realizes that the fire is burning more fiercely than usual in the determination target 500, the risk information is, for example, information meaning that the fire is burning more fiercely than usual.

[0065] The additional risk response information related to the response to the risk in the determination target 500 and to the response to the risk corresponding to the situation Sd is set as the additional risk response information Ira. The additional risk response information Ira is not only the risk response information Ir acquired by the information acquisition section 42, but also risk response information that the user of the risk information providing apparatus 100 notices. For example, in a case where the advertisement information providing the destination 52-1 (ventilator manufacturer) is displayed in the display section 30 although the user realizes that the fire is burning more fiercely than usual in the determination target 500, the risk response information is information meaning that the risk information Ri is also provided to the destination 52-4 (fire department).

[0066] In a case where at least one of the additional risk information Ria and the additional risk response information Ira is input through the input section 16, the providing section 18 can provide at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir based on at least one of the additional risk information Ria and the additional risk response information Ira. In a case where at least one of the additional risk information Ria and the additional risk response information Ira is input through the input section 16, the control section 20 can control the display section 30 to display at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir based on at least one of the additional risk information Ria and the additional risk response information Ira.

[0067] Figure 2 is a block diagram showing another example of the risk information providing system 200 according to an embodiment of the present application. In this example, the providing section 18 has a sound output section 32 instead of the display section 30. The risk information providing system 200 of this example differs from the risk information providing system 200 shown in Figure 1 in the above point. In this example, the sound output section 32 outputs a sound related to at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir. The sound output section 32 can output at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir in a manner that can be recognized by human hearing. The sound output section 32 is, for example, a speaker.

[0068] The control section 20 can control the sound output section 32 to cause the sound output section 32 to output a sound related to at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir. In the present example, the providing section 18 provides at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir to the user of the risk information providing apparatus 100 by causing the sound output section 32 to output a sound related to at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir. Thereby, the user of the risk information providing apparatus 100 can know at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir. The sound related to at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir is, for example, a sound indicating that the concentration of CO2 (carbon dioxide) 510 in the determination target 500 is an abnormal value.

[0069] Figure 3 is a block diagram illustrating another example of a risk information providing system 200 according to an embodiment of the present application. In the present example, the risk information providing apparatus 100 further includes a storage section 43. The risk information providing system 200 of the present example is different from the risk information providing system 200 illustrated in Figure 1 in that the risk information providing apparatus 100 further includes the storage section 43. However, in Figure 3 , the determination target 500 and the portable terminal 300 illustrated in Figure 1 are omitted.

[0070] In the present example, the storage section 43 stores a provision history of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir provided by the providing section 18. The providing section 18 can provide at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir based on the provision history of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir stored in the storage section 43.

[0071] The risk information providing apparatus 100 can not include the storage section 43. In the case where the risk information providing apparatus 100 does not include the storage section 43, the provision history of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir provided by the providing section 18 can be stored in a server or a cloud server disposed outside the risk information providing apparatus 100.

[0072] The provision history of the risk information Ri includes a sound related to CO2 (carbon dioxide) 510 in the determination target 500 (refer to Figure 1The provision history of the risk information Ri includes information for coping with the risk corresponding to the situation Sd and information of which provider 52 or provider 53 provided the risk information Ri. The provision history of the risk coping information Ir includes information for coping with the risk corresponding to the situation Sd and information of which provider 52 or provider 53 provided the risk coping information Ir. Thus, the provision unit 18 provides the risk coping information Ir based on the risk information Ri and the provision history of the risk coping information Ir, whereby the provision unit 18 can provide the most appropriate risk coping information Ir with high probability. The provision unit 18 provides the risk information Ri based on the provision history, whereby the provision unit 18 can provide the most appropriate risk information Ri with high probability.

[0073] The risk coping information Ir can include information about a machine for coping with the risk. The machine is set as a machine Ap. The machine Ap for coping with the risk is, for example, a ventilation machine for eliminating an abnormal value in a case where the concentration of CO2 (carbon dioxide) 510 (refer to FIG. 1) in the subject 500 approaches the abnormal value. Figure 1

[0074] The information acquisition unit 42 can further acquire information about the machine Ap provided by the provision destination 52. The storage unit 43 can further store a provision history of the information about the machine Ap acquired by the information acquisition unit 42. The provision unit 18 can provide at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk coping information Ir based on the provision history of the information about the machine Ap stored in the storage unit 43.

[0075] The provision history of the information about the machine Ap is likely to reflect the acquisition tendency of the user of the risk information providing apparatus 100 to acquire the machine Ap. The provision history is likely to include a purchase history of the user to purchase the machine Ap. Thus, the provision unit 18 provides the risk coping information Ir based on the provision history of the information about the machine Ap, whereby the provision unit 18 can provide the most appropriate risk coping information Ir with high probability. The provision unit 18 provides the risk information Ri based on the provision history, whereby the provision unit 18 can provide the most appropriate risk information Ri with high probability.

[0076] ​The storage section 43 can also store a browsing history of the information related to the machine Ap acquired by the information acquisition section 42. The browsing history is a history in which the user of the risk information providing apparatus 100 browsed the information related to the machine Ap displayed on the display section 30. In the browsing history, the tendency of the user of the risk information providing apparatus 100 to acquire the machine Ap is easily reflected. The providing section 18 can provide at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir based on the browsing history of the information related to the machine Ap stored in the storage section 43.

[0077] Figure 4 is a block diagram showing another example of the risk information providing system 200 according to the embodiment of the present application. In the present example, the risk information providing apparatus 100 further includes a date information acquisition section 45. The risk information providing system 200 of the present example differs from the risk information providing system 200 shown in Figure 3 in the above point.

[0078] The date information acquisition section 45 acquires date information of a date in which at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir is acquired. The date information is set as date information Id. The date information Id is, for example, a date in which at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir is acquired.

[0079] The information acquisition section 42 can acquire the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir based on the date information Id acquired by the date information acquisition section 45. In the date information Id, the tendency of the user of the risk information providing apparatus 100 to purchase the machine Ap is sometimes reflected. The case in which the tendency of the user is reflected in the date information Id is, for example, the case in which the tendency of the user of the season characteristics is reflected in the date information Id. For example, in March, the machine Ap related to a new life in which a new life in the next year is easily purchased.

[0080] The providing section 18 can provide the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir based on the date information Id acquired by the date information acquisition section 45. The control section 20 can control the display section 30 based on the date information Id so that the display section 30 displays the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir. Thereby, the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir in which the tendency of the user of the risk information providing apparatus 100 to purchase the machine Ap (for example, the season characteristics) is reflected are easily displayed on the display section 30.

[0081] The storage section 43 can store the date information Id acquired by the date information acquisition section 45. The providing section 18 can provide at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir based on the date information Id stored in the storage section 43.

[0082] The date information Id is easy to reflect the acquisition tendency of the user of the risk information providing apparatus 100 to acquire at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir. The acquisition tendency is, for example, the purchase history record of the user to purchase the machine Ap from the provision destination 52-5 (the electronic commerce business operator). Therefore, the provision unit 18 provides the risk information Ri based on the date information Id, whereby the provision unit 18 can provide the risk information Ri to the provision destination 52 and the provider 53 most appropriate for the user.

[0083] Figure 5 is a block diagram showing another example of the risk information providing system 200 according to the embodiment of the present application. In the present example, the risk information providing apparatus 100 further includes a position information acquisition unit 40. The risk information providing system 200 of the present example differs from the risk information providing system 200 shown in Figure 4 in the above point.

[0084] The position information acquisition unit 40 acquires the position information of the determination target 500 (refer to Figure 1 ). The position information acquisition unit 40 is, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System). In the case where the risk information providing apparatus 100 is a computer such as a tablet computer that can be carried, the position information acquisition unit 40 can be a GPS included in the computer. The position information acquisition unit 40 can also acquire the position information of the risk information providing apparatus 100.

[0085] The provision unit 18 provides at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir based on the position information of the determination target 500 acquired by the position information acquisition unit 40. Thereby, in the case where the risk information Ri is, for example, the information that the concentration of CO2 (carbon dioxide) 510 in the determination target 500 is rapidly approaching an abnormal value, the provision unit 18 can provide the risk information Ri to the provision destination 52-1 (the ventilation equipment business operator) that can eliminate the abnormal value and is closest to the current position of the determination target 500.

[0086] Figure 6 is a block diagram showing another example of the risk information providing system 200 according to the embodiment of the present application. In the present example, the risk information providing apparatus 100 further includes an image acquisition unit 44. The risk information providing system 200 of the present example differs from the risk information providing system 200 shown in Figure 5 in the above point. The image acquisition unit 44 acquires an image of the determination target 500.

[0087] The portable terminal 300 can be provided with an imaging section 410 that images the determination target 500. The imaging section 410 is, for example, a video camera. In the case where the portable terminal 300 is a smartphone, the imaging section 410 can be a video camera built into the smartphone. The wireless transmission section 310 can transmit the image of the determination target 500 imaged by the imaging section 410 to the control section 20. The image acquisition section 44 can acquire the image of the determination target 500 transmitted to the control section 20.

[0088] The providing section 18 can provide at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir based on the image acquired by the image acquisition section 44. Thus, in the case where the image acquired by the image acquisition section 44 is, for example, an image of a machine that causes a deviation from a stable discharge amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the determination target 500, the providing section 18 can provide the risk information Ri to the providing destination 52-4 (fire department) that is preferable in terms of notifying the danger resulting from the deviation. The machine that causes a deviation from a stable discharge amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) is, for example, a furnace.

[0089] The control section 20 can control the display section 30 based on the image acquired by the image acquisition section 44 so that the display section 30 displays at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir. In the case where the image acquired by the image acquisition section 44 is, for example, an image of a machine that causes a deviation from a stable discharge amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the determination target 500, the risk countermeasure information Ir provided by at least one of a provider who can alleviate the deviation, such as the providing destination 52-1 (ventilation equipment provider) and the providing destination 52-5 (e-commerce provider), can be displayed on the display section 30. In this example, the risk countermeasure information Ir refers to advertisement information of the ventilation equipment provider, advertisement information of the e-commerce provider, and the like. Thus, the risk information providing apparatus 100 is likely to cause a user who visually confirms the display section 30 to cope with the risk based on the risk countermeasure information Ir.

[0090] The providing section 18 can also provide at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir based on the image acquired by the image acquisition section 44 and the position information of the determination target 500 acquired by the position information acquisition section 40. Thus, in the case where the image acquired by the image acquisition section 44 is, for example, an image of a machine that causes a deviation from a stable discharge amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the determination target 500, the providing section 18 can provide the risk information Ri to the providing destination 52-4 (fire department) that is preferable in terms of notifying the danger resulting from the deviation and is closest to the current position of the risk information providing apparatus 100.

[0091] The control section 20 can control the display section 30 based on the image acquired by the image acquisition section 44 and the position information of the determination target 500 acquired by the position information acquisition section 40, to cause the display section 30 to display at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir. In a case where the image acquired by the image acquisition section 44 is, for example, an image of a machine in which deviation from a stable discharge amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the determination target 500 occurs, the display section 30 can display risk countermeasure information Ir (for example, an advertisement) provided by a provider that is at least one of a provider of the destination 52-1 (a ventilation equipment provider) and a provider of the destination 52-5 (an e-commerce provider) and that is closest to the current position of the risk information providing apparatus 100, for example.

[0092] Figure 7 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a risk information providing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In this example, the risk information providing apparatus 100 is provided with a CO2 (carbon dioxide) sensor 400. In this example, the risk information providing apparatus 100 is also provided with a distance acquisition section 46. The distance acquisition section 46 acquires a distance between the CO2 (carbon dioxide) sensor 400 and an object 520. In this example, the distance acquisition section 46 acquires the distance between the CO2 (carbon dioxide) sensor 400 and the object 520 based on an image acquired by the image acquisition section 44. This distance is set as a distance d. Further, in a case where the distance acquisition section 46 does not acquire the distance d based on the image acquired by the image acquisition section 44, the distance acquisition section 46 can acquire the distance d by an optical wave distance meter or a LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging).

[0093] The risk information providing apparatus 100 can be provided with an imaging section 410 that images the determination target 500. The imaging section 410 is, for example, a video camera. In a case where the risk information providing apparatus 100 is a computer such as a tablet computer, the imaging section 410 can be a video camera built into the computer. The image acquisition section 44 can acquire an image of the determination target 500 imaged by the imaging section 410.

[0094] In this example, the risk information providing apparatus 100 is provided with a determination section 10. In this example, the determination section 10 determines a state Sd of a CO2 (carbon dioxide) concentration in the determination target 500 based on a change in the CO2 (carbon dioxide) concentration in the determination target 500 over time. The determination section 10 can output a determination result Rd. The determination section 10 can be a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The determination section 10 and the control section 20 can also be one CPU.

[0095] The object 520 refers to a structure in the determination object 500, and is a structure that can affect the condition Sd of the CO2 concentration in the determination object 500. The structure is, for example, a building. The object 520 can be a wall, a floor, a roof, a window, a door, or a living body of the structure. The living body can be a human body, or an animal body.

[0096] In a case where the distance d acquired by the distance acquisition section 46 is smaller than a predetermined distance, the provision section 18 can provide at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir. In a case where the distance d is smaller than the predetermined distance, the control section 20 can control the display section 30 so that the display section 30 displays the risk information Ri. The risk information Ri is, for example, warning information indicating that the concentration of the CO2 510 is rapidly approaching an abnormal value.

[0097] In a case where the object 520 is, for example, a wall, the CO2 510 is likely to be trapped in a range of less than the predetermined distance from the object 520. In a case where the distance d between the CO2 sensor 400 and the object 520 (wall) is smaller than the predetermined distance, the risk information Ri can be displayed on the display section 30. The risk information Ri is, for example, warning information indicating that the concentration of the CO2 510 in the vicinity of the object 520 (wall in this example) is highly likely to be an abnormal value. The distance d being smaller than the predetermined distance means, for example, the distance d being smaller than 50 cm.

[0098] In a case where the object 520 is, for example, a window or a door, two spaces having different concentrations of the CO2 510 are highly likely to be communicated through the window or the door. Therefore, in a range of less than the predetermined distance from the object 520 (window or door), the concentration of the CO2 510 is likely to change. In a case where the distance d between the CO2 sensor 400 and the object 520 (window or door) is smaller than the predetermined distance, the risk information Ri can be displayed on the display section 30. The risk information Ri is, for example, warning information indicating that the concentration of the CO2 510 in the vicinity of the object 520 (door in this example) is highly likely to have changed suddenly. The distance d being smaller than the predetermined distance means, for example, the distance d being smaller than 1.5 m.

[0099] In a case where the object 520 is a living body, the living body emits CO2 (carbon dioxide) due to respiration, and thus, in a range from the object 520 (living body) by a distance shorter than a predetermined distance, the concentration of the CO2 (carbon dioxide) 510 is likely to be higher than in a range from the object 520 (living body) by a distance longer than the predetermined distance. In a case where the distance d between the CO2 (carbon dioxide) sensor 400 and the object 520 (living body) is shorter than the predetermined distance, the risk information Ri can be displayed on the display section 30. The risk information Ri is, for example, warning information indicating that the distance d between the CO2 (carbon dioxide) sensor 400 and the object 520 (living body) is too close. The distance d being shorter than the predetermined distance means, for example, a case where the distance d is shorter than 1 m from the object 520 (living body). The distance d being shorter than the predetermined distance can also mean a case where the distance d is shorter than 2 m from the front of the object 520 (living body) or shorter than 1 m from the side of the object 520 (living body). In a case where the living body is a human, the front of the living body means a direction bilaterally symmetrical with the spinal bone as a center line. The side of the living body means a direction rotated by 90 degrees from the front in either direction with the spinal bone as a center line.

[0100] Figure 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a risk information providing method according to an embodiment of the present application. The risk information providing method according to the embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to the risk information providing system 200 illustrated in Figure 1 The risk information providing method according to an embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to the risk information providing system 200 illustrated in

[0101] The providing stage S110 can be a stage in which the control section 20 controls the display section 30 to display at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir. Thereby, a user of the risk information providing method can know at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir.

[0102] The providing stage S110 can also be a stage in which the control section 20 controls the transmission section 50 to transmit the risk information Ri via the transmission section 50. The risk information Ri can be transmitted to the provision destination 52 via an Internet line. Thereby, the provision destination 52 can know the risk information Ri.

[0103] The providing stage S110 can be a stage in which, in a case where at least one of the additional risk information Ria and the additional risk response information Ira is input, the providing unit 18 provides at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir based on the at least one of the additional risk information Ria and the additional risk response information Ira. As described above, the additional risk information Ria is not only information related to a risk corresponding to the situation Sd determined based on the change in the concentration of CO2 510 with time, but also risk information noticed by the user of the risk information providing apparatus 100. As described above, the additional risk response information Ira is not only the risk response information Ir acquired by the information acquisition unit 42, but also risk response information noticed by the user of the risk information providing apparatus 100.

[0104] The risk response information Ir can include provision destination information Isp related to a provision destination of the provided risk information Ri. The providing stage S110 is a stage in which the providing unit 18 provides the risk information Ri to the provision destination 52 in a case where the risk is responded to based on the risk response information Ir input through the input unit 16. In a case where the risk response information Ir is advertisement information provided by the provision destination 52-1 (ventilation equipment manufacturer), the risk is responded to based on the risk response information Ir means that the ventilation is requested to the provision destination 52-1 to eliminate the risk (for example, an abnormal value of the concentration of CO2) by the provision destination 52-1.

[0105] Figure 9 is a flowchart showing another example of a risk information providing method according to an embodiment of the present application. The risk information providing method of this example differs from the risk information providing method shown in Figure 8 in that the risk information providing method of this example further includes a storing stage S102. The risk information providing method shown in Figure 3 will be described with reference to the risk information providing system 200 shown in Figure 9 .

[0106] The storing stage S102 is a stage in which the storing unit 43 stores a provision history of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir provided by the providing unit 18. In this example, the providing stage S110 is a stage in which the providing unit 18 provides at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir based on the provision history of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir stored in the storing stage S102.

[0107] In the risk information providing method of this example, in the providing stage S110, the risk response information Ir is provided based on the provision history of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir, and thus it is easy to provide the most appropriate risk response information Ir and the risk information Ri with high probability.

[0108] The risk response information Ir may contain information related to the machine Ap used to respond to the risk. As mentioned above, the machine Ap used to respond to the risk is, for example, CO2 (carbon dioxide) 510 in the judgment object 500 (reference). Figure 1 When the concentration of ) is close to the abnormal value, it is used to eliminate the abnormal value of the ventilation machine.

[0109] Information acquisition stage S100 may be information acquisition unit 42 also acquiring information from destination 52 (see reference). Figure 3 The storage stage S102 may be a stage where the information acquisition unit 42 also stores the acquisition history of the information related to the machine Ap acquired by the information acquisition unit 42. The provision stage S110 may be a stage where the provision unit 18 provides at least one of risk information Ri and risk response information Ir based on the acquisition history of the information related to the machine Ap stored in the storage stage S102.

[0110] In the risk information provision method of this example, in the provision stage S110, at least one of risk information Ri and risk response information Ir is provided based on the historical acquisition history of information related to machine Ap, thus making it easy to provide the most appropriate risk response information Ir and risk information Ri with high probability.

[0111] The storage stage S102 may also be a stage where the storage unit 43 stores browsing history records of information related to machine Ap acquired by the information acquisition unit 42. Therefore, in the provision stage S110, at least one of risk information Ri and risk response information Ir can be easily provided based on this browsing history record of information related to machine Ap.

[0112] Figure 10 This is a flowchart illustrating another example of a risk information provision method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The risk information provision method in this example is similar to... Figure 9 The difference in the risk information provision method shown is that the risk information provision method in this example also includes a date information acquisition stage S98. Figure 4 The risk information provision system 200 shown is used as an example to illustrate this. Figure 10 The method for providing risk information is shown.

[0113] The date information acquisition stage S98 is the stage in which the date information acquisition unit 45 acquires the date information Id of the date on which the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir were acquired. The date information Id is, for example, the year, month, and day on which at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk response information Ir was acquired.

[0114] The information acquisition stage S100 can be a stage of acquiring the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir based on the date information Id acquired at the date information acquisition stage S98. The provision stage S110 can be a stage of providing the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir.

[0115] In the risk information provision method of this example, the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir are acquired based on the date information Id at the information acquisition stage S100, and the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir are provided at the provision stage S110. Thus, it is easy to provide the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir reflecting the purchase trend (e.g., seasonal characteristics) of the user of the risk information provision apparatus 100 to purchase the machine Ap.

[0116] Figure 11 is a flowchart showing another example of the risk information provision method according to an embodiment of the present application. The risk information provision method of this example differs from the risk information provision method shown in Figure 10 in that the risk information provision method of this example further includes a storage stage S102. The risk information provision method shown in Figure 4 will be described taking the risk information provision system 200 shown in Figure 11 as an example.

[0117] The storage stage S102 can be a stage of further storing the date information Id acquired at the date information acquisition stage S98. The provision stage S110 can be a stage of providing at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir by the provision unit 18 based on the date information Id stored at the storage stage S102.

[0118] In the risk information provision method of this example, at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir is provided based on the date information Id at the provision stage S110, and thus it is easy to provide the risk information Ri to the most appropriate provision destination 52 or the provider 53 (see Figure 4 ) for the user of the risk information provision apparatus 100.

[0119] Figure 12 is a flowchart showing another example of the risk information provision method according to an embodiment of the present application. The risk information provision method of this example differs from the risk information provision method shown in Figure 8 in that the risk information provision method of this example further includes a location information acquisition stage S104. The risk information provision method shown in Figure 5 will be described taking the risk information provision system 200 shown in Figure 12 as an example.

[0120] The position information acquisition stage S104 is a stage in which the position information acquisition section 40 acquires position information of the determination target 500. The provision stage S110 can be a stage in which the provision section 18 provides at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir based on the position information of the determination target 500.

[0121] In the risk information provision method of the present example, in the provision stage S110, the risk information Ri is provided based on the position information of the determination target 500. Therefore, in a case where the risk information Ri corresponding to the situation Sd is, for example, risk information Ri corresponding to a situation Sd in which the concentration of CO2 (carbon dioxide) 510 approaches an abnormal value, in the provision stage S110, it is easy to provide the risk information Ri to the provision destination 52-1 (ventilation equipment manufacturer) that is closest to the current position of the determination target 500.

[0122] Figure 13 is a flowchart illustrating another example of the risk information provision method according to an embodiment of the present application. The risk information provision method of the present example is different from the risk information provision method illustrated in Figure 8 Figure 6 Figure 13 The risk information provision method illustrated in

[0123] The image acquisition stage S106 is a stage in which the image acquisition section 44 acquires an image of the determination target 500. The provision stage S110 can be a stage in which the provision section 18 provides at least one of the risk information Ri and the risk countermeasure information Ir based on the image of the determination target 500 acquired in the image acquisition stage S106.

[0124] In the risk information provision method of the present example, in the provision stage S110, the risk information Ri is provided based on the image of the determination target 500. Thereby, in a case where the image acquired in the image acquisition stage S106 is, for example, an image of a machine that is likely to cause a deviation from a stable discharge amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the determination target 500, in the provision stage S110, it is easy to provide the risk information Ri to the provision destination 52-4 (fire department) that is preferable in terms of notifying of the danger due to the deviation. The machine that is likely to cause a deviation from a stable discharge amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) is, for example, a furnace.

[0125] Figure 14 is a flowchart illustrating another example of the risk information provision method according to an embodiment of the present application. The risk information provision method of the present example is different from the risk information provision method illustrated in Figure 8 ​​The difference in the risk information provision method shown is that the risk information provision method in this example also includes a carbon dioxide concentration measurement stage S90 and a distance acquisition stage S108. Figure 7 The risk information providing device 100 shown is used as an example for illustration. Figure 14 The method for providing risk information is shown.

[0126] The carbon dioxide concentration measurement stage S90 is the stage in which the CO2 (carbon dioxide) sensor 400 measures the concentration of CO2 (carbon dioxide) 510 in the target 500. The distance acquisition stage S108 is the stage in which the CO2 (carbon dioxide) sensor 400 acquires the distance between the target 520 and the object 520 (reference). Figure 7 The distance acquisition stage S108 can also be a stage where the distance acquisition unit 46 acquires the distance d between the CO2 (carbon dioxide) sensor 400 and the object 520 based on the image acquired in the image acquisition stage S106. Furthermore, in the distance acquisition stage S107, if the distance acquisition unit 46 does not acquire the distance d based on the image acquired by the image acquisition unit 44, the distance acquisition stage S107 can also be a stage where the distance acquisition unit 46 acquires the distance d using a light rangefinder or LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging).

[0127] Object 520 is a structure within object 500 that may affect the condition Sd of CO2 (carbon dioxide) concentration in object 500. This structure may be, for example, a building. Object 520 can be the walls, floor, roof, windows, doors, or a living organism of this structure. The living organism can be a human body or an animal body.

[0128] The provisioning phase S110 can be a phase in which the providing unit 18 provides risk information Ri and risk response information Ir when the distance d acquired in the distance acquisition phase S108 is less than a predetermined distance. In the case where the object 520 is, for example, a wall, CO2 (carbon dioxide) 510 is likely to accumulate within a range less than the predetermined distance from the object 520. When the distance d between the CO2 (carbon dioxide) sensor 400 and the object 520 (wall) is less than this predetermined distance, the risk information Ri can be displayed on the display unit 30 in the providing phase S110. This risk information Ri is, for example, a warning message indicating a high probability that the concentration of CO2 (carbon dioxide) 510 near the object 520 (in this example, a wall) is an anomalous value.

[0129] Various embodiments of the present invention can be described with reference to flowchart diagrams and block diagrams. In various embodiments of the present invention, a block may represent (1) a stage of processing for performing an operation or (2) a part of a device that performs the operation.

[0136] Figure 15 This is a diagram illustrating an example of a computer 2200 that can be embodied, in whole or in part, in an embodiment of the risk information providing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. A program installed in the computer 2200 enables the computer 2200 to function as an operation associated with or one or more parts of the risk information providing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, or enables the computer 2200 to perform that operation or those one or more parts, or enables the computer 2200 to perform the various stages involved in the risk information providing method of the present invention (see...). Figures 8 to 14 This program can be executed by CPU 2212 to cause computer 2200 to execute the flowchart described in this specification. Figures 8 to 14 ) and block diagram ( Figures 1 to 7 () a specific operation associated with several or all of the boxes.

[0137] One embodiment of the present invention relates to a computer 2200, which includes a CPU 2212, RAM 2214, a graphics controller 2216, and a display device 2218. The CPU 2212, RAM 2214, graphics controller 2216, and display device 2218 are interconnected via a main controller 2210. The computer 2200 also includes input / output units such as a communication interface 2222, a hard disk drive 2224, a DVD-ROM drive 2226, and an IC card driver. The communication interface 2222, hard disk drive 2224, DVD-ROM drive 2226, and IC card driver are connected to the main controller 2210 via an input / output controller 2220. The computer also includes conventional input / output units such as a ROM 2230 and a keyboard 2242. The ROM 2230 and keyboard 2242 are connected to the input / output controller 2220 via an input / output chip 2240.

[0138] The CPU 2212 acts in accordance with programs held in the ROM 2230 and the RAM 2214, thereby controlling the units. The graphics controller 2216 displays image data on the display device 2218 by taking a frame buffer or the like provided in the RAM 2214 or image data generated by the CPU 2212 in the RAM 2214.
