[0011] The following embodiments generally relate to an appliance installation support system, an appliance installation support method, and a program. More specifically, the following embodiments relate to an appliance installation support system, an appliance installation support method, and a program that support the installation of wiring appliances in a facility. Note that the embodiments described below are merely examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure. The present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments, and various modifications are possible depending on the design, etc., as long as the effects of the present disclosure can be achieved.

[0012] (1) Overview of the equipment installation support system The appliance installation support system of this embodiment supports the installation of wiring appliances in facilities. The facilities are assumed to be buildings such as detached houses, individual dwelling units in apartment buildings, offices, factories, or stores. The wiring appliances are attached to buildings such as walls, ceilings, and floors, and are electrically connected to power paths installed on the rear side of the buildings. For example, the wiring appliances have at least one function such as an outlet, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) outlet, a load control device, a sensor device, a switch device, a lighting device, a sound output device, a fire detector, a security camera, and an intercom device.

[0013] The appliance installation support system 1 shown in FIG. 1 proposes to a user H1 the type and installation location of wiring appliances to be installed in a facility before construction such as new construction, remodeling, or renovation of the facility. In this embodiment, the user H1 is a person who uses the facility, such as the building owner (homeowner) of the facility. Furthermore, the appliance installation support system 1 is preferably configured so that the user H1, designer H2, and construction owner H3 of the facility can share information regarding the installation of wiring appliances in the facility. The designer H2 designs the placement of wiring appliances in the facility, and may also design the entire facility. The construction owner H3 is, for example, at least one of a construction company of the facility and a manufacturer (manufacturer) of the wiring appliances, and is a business operator involved in the construction of the facility.

[0014] Here, user H1 has his own thoughts about the wiring devices to be installed in the facility. For example, some users place importance on the functionality of the wiring devices, while others place importance on the design of the wiring devices, or on the cost of the wiring devices. Furthermore, when constructing a facility for which they are the building owner, some users want to be actively involved in the type and installation location of the wiring devices, while others want to leave it up to the designer H2 or the construction owner H3. In other words, each user has different thoughts about the installation of wiring devices (type, installation location).

[0015] Therefore, the appliance installation assistance system 1 includes a user information receiving unit 2c and a display unit 2a. The user information receiving unit 2c receives user information related to a user. The display unit 2a displays installation information in which appliance information related to wiring appliances is arranged on a floor plan of a facility used by the user, based on the user information.

[0016] That is, the appliance installation assistance system 1 displays installation information based on user information on the display unit 2a to suggest to the user H1 the type of wiring appliance to be installed in the facility, the installation location, etc. The installation information displayed on the display unit 2a reflects the user information about the user H1. In other words, the installation information reflects the thoughts of the user H1. The user H1 can check and consider the installation of the proposed wiring appliance by looking at the installation information displayed on the display unit 2a.

[0017] Therefore, the appliance installation support system 1 can propose to the user H1 installation information that reflects the user H1's wishes in the installation of the wiring appliance 4. For example, the user H1 can be involved in the selection of the wiring appliance 4 depending on the extent to which the user H1 wishes to be involved in the selection of the wiring appliance 4.

[0018] In addition to the display unit 2a and the user information receiving unit 2c, it is preferable that the equipment installation support system 1 includes at least one of an input support unit 2b, a floor plan information receiving unit 2d, a supplier information receiving unit 2e, an installation information generating unit 2f, an order information generating unit 2g, an auxiliary information generating unit 2h, a data conversion unit 2i, a data collection unit 2j, a proposal unit 2k, and a service unit 2m.

[0019] (2) Configuration of the equipment installation support system FIG. 1 shows an example of a specific configuration of an instrument installation support system 1, which includes a user terminal 11, a server 12, a design terminal 13, and a client terminal .

The control unit 11d also controls a screen to be displayed on the display 11b and communication by the communication unit 11c. For example, the control unit 11d generates user information related to the user H1 based on the operation signal, and causes the communication unit 11c to transmit the user information to the server 12. The control unit 11d also functions as an input support unit 2b for inputting user information hierarchically.

[0025] The user terminal 11 includes a computer. The computer executes a program to realize at least the function of the control unit 11d of the user terminal 11. The computer includes a processor that operates according to a program as a main hardware configuration. The type of processor is not important as long as it can realize the function by executing the program. The processor is composed of one or more electronic circuits including a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) or an LSI (large scale integration). Although IC and LSI are referred to here, the names may vary depending on the degree of integration, and may be called system LSI, VLSI (very large scale integration), or ULSI (ultra large scale integration). Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), which are programmed after the manufacture of LSIs, or reconfigurable logic devices that can reconfigure the connection relationship within the LSI or set up circuit partitions within the LSI, can also be used for the same purpose. Multiple electronic circuits may be integrated into one chip or may be provided on multiple chips. The program is recorded on a non-transitory recording medium such as a computer-readable ROM, an optical disk, or a hard disk drive. The program may be stored in advance in a non-transitory recording medium, or may be supplied to the non-transitory recording medium via a wide area communication network including the Internet.

[0026] (2.2) Server The server 12 is connected to the network NT1 and communicates with the user terminal 11, the design terminal 13, and the client terminal 14 on the network NT1.

[0027] The server 12 includes a computer. The computer executes a program to realize some or all of the functions of the server 12. The computer includes, as its main hardware configuration, a processor that operates according to the program. The program is recorded on a non-transitory recording medium such as a computer-readable ROM, an optical disk, or a hard disk drive. The program may be stored in the non-transitory recording medium in advance, or may be supplied to the non-transitory recording medium via a wide area communication network including the Internet. The server 12 may also be composed of multiple servers in which the functions of the server 12 are distributed.

[0028] 1, the server 12 includes a storage unit 121 for storing various information. The server 12 functions as a user information receiving unit 2c. Furthermore, the server 12 preferably functions as at least one of a floor plan information receiving unit 2d, a supplier information receiving unit 2e, an installation information generating unit 2f, an order information generating unit 2g, an auxiliary information generating unit 2h, a data converting unit 2i, a data collecting unit 2j, a proposing unit 2k, and a service unit 2m.

[0029] (2.3) Design terminal The design terminal 13 is a tablet terminal, a smartphone, a personal computer, or the like operated by the designer H2, and is connected to a network NT1 including the Internet, and communicates with the server 12 on the network NT1. Note that the specific configuration of the design terminal 13 is similar to that of the above-mentioned user terminal 11 (see FIG. 2), and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0030] (2.4) Contractor terminal The client terminal 14 is a tablet terminal, a smartphone, a personal computer, or the like operated by the client H3, and is connected to a network NT1 including the Internet, and communicates with the server 12 on the network NT1. The specific configuration of the client terminal 14 is the same as that of the above-mentioned user terminal 11 (see FIG. 2), and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0031] (3) Wiring devices The wiring device 4 used in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B.

[0032] The wiring device 4 is attached to a structure W1 such as a wall, a ceiling, or a floor, and performs at least one of power supply to a load (not shown), load control, and sensing. The structure W1 includes the walls, ceiling, and floor of a facility. For example, the wiring device 4 has at least one function such as an outlet, a USB outlet, a load control device, a sensor device, a switch device, a lighting device, a sound output device, a fire detector, a security camera, and an intercom device.

[0033] The wiring device 4 of the present embodiment includes a first unit 41 and a second unit 42. The first unit 41 is electrically connected to a power path laid on the rear side of the structure W1 and fixed to the structure W1. The second unit 42 is removably attached to the first unit 41, and is supplied with power from the first unit 41 when attached to the first unit 41. FIG. 3A is a schematic perspective view of the second unit 42 detached from the first unit 41. FIG. 3B is a schematic perspective view of the second unit 42 attached to the first unit 41.

[0034] The building W1 has a wall panel W11 and a column W12 located on the back (rear) side of the wall panel W11. The wall panel W11 is fixed to the column W12.

[0035] The first unit 41 is disposed on the rear side of the wall panel W11. The first unit 41 is attached to the column W12 by, for example, a fastener 91 (see FIG. 3A) such as a wood screw. The first unit 41 disposed on the rear side of the wall panel W11 is exposed to the front of the wall panel W11 through a circular construction hole W13 formed in the wall panel W11. In other words, the first unit 41 is accessible from the front side of the wall panel W11 by passing through the construction hole W13.

[0036] The first unit 41 has a hollow switch box 411 in the shape of a rectangular box, and a mounting space 412 is provided on the front surface of the switch box 411. The mounting space 412 has a recess 4121 that accommodates at least a part of the second unit 42. Here, the recess 4121 is opened forward by forming a part of the front surface of the switch box 411 in a shape recessed backward. A pair of arc-shaped insertion holes 4122 are formed on the bottom surface of the recess 4121.

[0037] The second unit 42 is attached to the first unit 41 through the construction hole W13 from the front side of the wall panel W11. The second unit 42 is configured to receive power from the first unit 41 when attached to the first unit 41. That is, the first unit 41 supplies power to the second unit 42. In this embodiment, the second unit 42 has a cylindrical portion 421 and a front plate portion 422. The front plate portion 422 is formed in a square plate shape and is integrated with the front end portion of the cylindrical portion 421. The front plate portion 422 is formed slightly larger than the front surface of the cylindrical portion 421 so as to protrude laterally from the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion 421. A pair of connection terminals 423 is provided on the rear surface of the cylindrical portion 421.

[0038] The wiring device 4 employs a ceiling hook rosette as a configuration for electrically and mechanically connecting the first unit 41 and the second unit 42. That is, when attaching the second unit 42 to the first unit 41, the second unit 42 is rotated clockwise in a front view with the pair of connection terminals 423 of the second unit 42 inserted into the pair of insertion holes 4122 of the first unit 41, whereby the second unit 42 is electrically and mechanically connected to the first unit 41.

[0039] Furthermore, when removing the second unit 42 from the first unit 41, the second unit 42 is rotated counterclockwise in a front view, whereby the second unit 42 is electrically and mechanically removed from the first unit 41.

[0040] FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram that shows a schematic example of replacement of the second unit 42, and for example, the shape of the first unit 41 exposed from the construction hole W13 is appropriately simplified.

[0041] In the present embodiment, second units 42a to 42i can be attached to the first unit 41 as a plurality of types of second units 42. Therefore, in the wiring device 4, it is possible to replace only the second unit 42 with another second unit 42 while leaving the first unit 41 fixed to the structure W1. As a result, in the wiring device 4, by replacing the second unit 42, it is possible to change the function of the wiring device 4.

[0042] In FIG. 4, the second unit 42a functions as an outlet to which a plug of a load can be connected, and outputs AC voltage to a load such as a lighting device, an air conditioner, a refrigerator, a ventilator fan, an information processing device, or a mobile terminal.

[0043] The second unit 42b includes a rotary operation type user interface such as a volume, a rotary encoder, or a rotary switch, and functions as a load control device. The second unit 42b controls the power supply state of a load such as a lighting device in response to a user operation received by the user interface.

[0044] The second unit 42c has a function as a USB outlet. The second unit 42c has a USB receptacle into which a USB plug of a load can be inserted, and outputs a DC voltage to the load through the USB plug.

[0045] The second unit 42d is a wiring device having a function as a magnetic outlet that attracts a plug by magnetic force. The second unit 42d attracts the plug of a load by the magnetic force of the magnet, and supplies AC or DC power to the load through the plug.

[0046] The second unit 42e is a wiring device that includes a motion sensor or a brightness sensor and functions as a sensor device. The second unit 42e outputs the detection result of the sensor, and the detection result of the sensor is used for load control, such as control of the power supply state of a load such as a lighting device.

[0047] The second unit 42f also includes a push button, seesaw, or touch type user interface and functions as a switch device. The second unit 42f controls the power supply state of a load such as a lighting device in response to a user operation received by the user interface. In particular, the second unit 42f includes multiple user interfaces (four in this case) and has multiple switches (four in this case). Therefore, one second unit 42f can control multiple loads (four in this case).

[0048] The second unit 42g includes a push button, a seesaw, or a touch type user interface and functions as a switch device. The second unit 42g controls the power supply state of a load such as a lighting device in response to a user operation received by the user interface.

[0049] The second unit 42h has a function as a lighting device that outputs light (including a downlight, a night light, a staircase light, an emergency light, a footlight, etc.). The second unit 42h receives power supply from the first unit 41 and turns on a light source to illuminate the surroundings.

[0050] The second unit 42i has a function as a sound output device that outputs sounds (including voices, beeps, melodies, etc.) The second unit 42i receives power from the first unit 41 and converts an electrical signal into sound, thereby outputting the sound.

[0051] The second unit 42 may have the functions of, for example, a display, a communication device, or a measuring device. The second unit 42 having the function of a human sensor detects the presence or absence of a person in the lighting space, for example, to switch the lighting state of a lighting device. The second unit 42 having the function of a fire detector detects the occurrence or absence of a fire in the facility. The second unit 42 having the function of a security camera captures an image of a specified space for the security of the facility and outputs the captured image data. The second unit 42 having the function of an intercom device makes a call between another intercom device.

[0052] In the appliance installation assistance system 1, many types of second units 42 each having at least one function are prepared in advance. Therefore, if a plurality of first units 41 are arranged in a facility, the desired second units 42 can be attached to each of the plurality of first units 41, thereby flexibly setting or changing the function of the wiring appliance 4 without replacing the first unit 41.

[0053] (4) Operation of the equipment installation support system (4.1) Before construction A user H1, who is the owner of a facility, decides the specifications of the facility by holding a meeting with a designer H2 and a construction owner H3 before construction of the facility. In the process of deciding the specifications, the device installation support system 1 makes a proposal regarding the installation of the wiring device 4 to the user H1 according to the flowchart of FIG.

[0054] When the designer H2 creates a floor plan of the facility, the design terminal 13 transmits floor plan information including data of the floor plan to the server 12. In the server 12, the floor plan information receiving unit 2d receives the floor plan information, and the storage unit 121 stores the floor plan information (S1). That is, the floor plan information receiving unit 2d performs a reception process for receiving the floor plan information.

[0055] The floor plan information is information on a floor plan of a facility created using a two-dimensional CAD or a three-dimensional CAD. In this embodiment, the floor plan includes information on the installation position of the first unit 41 (wiring fixture 4) in addition to the floor plan of the facility. That is, the designer H2 creates a floor plan by including information on the installation position of the wiring fixture 4 in the floor plan of the facility. FIG. 6 shows floor plan information I1 as an example of floor plan information. The floor plan information I1 includes a facility model M1 that constructs the floor plan of the facility in a virtual space, and a first model M11 that is a model of the first unit 41 is arranged on the walls, ceiling, floor, etc. of the facility model M1. Therefore, the user H1 can easily grasp the position of the first unit 41 (wiring fixture 4) by looking at the floor plan information I1.

[0056] The user terminal 11 has an application program for appliance installation assistance installed in advance, and the user H1 operates the user terminal 11 to start up the application for appliance installation assistance.

[0057] The user H1 then operates the user terminal 11 to input user information, and at this time, the control unit 11d of the user terminal 11 also functions as the input support unit 2b. The input support unit 2b hierarchically transitions the screens displayed on the display 11b when the user information is input. In this embodiment, the screens when the user information is input transition hierarchically from a profile input screen to a course selection screen G1 (see FIG. 7) to an input screen G2a (see FIG. 8), G2b (see FIG. 9), and G2c (see FIG. 10), which will be described later. Therefore, the user H1 can smoothly input the user information. In this embodiment, the transition is three steps, but it may be two steps or four or more steps.

[0058] Specifically, when an application for assisting in appliance installation is launched, the control unit 11d of the user terminal 11 causes a profile input screen to be displayed on the display 11b (display unit 2a). The profile input screen is a screen for allowing the user H1 to input profile information such as gender, age, and name as user information. The user H1 operates the profile input screen to input the profile information. The control unit 11d stores the input profile information in memory (S2). Note that the profile information is included in the user information of this embodiment.

[0059] Next, the control unit 11d of the user terminal 11 causes the display 11b (display unit 2a) to display a course selection screen G1 shown in FIG. 7. The course selection screen G1 is a screen for allowing the user H1 to input course information based on the intention (preference or desire, etc.) of the user H1 as user information. Specifically, the course selection screen G1 includes buttons B1 to B4. The buttons B1 to B3 are buttons for selecting the intention of the user H1 regarding the installation of the wiring device 4. The button B1 is a button for selecting a recommended course, and is selected by the user H1 who does not want to be actively involved in the installation of the wiring device 4. The button B2 is a button for selecting a particular course, and is selected by the user H1 who wants to be actively involved in the installation of the wiring device 4. The button B3 is a button for selecting a price range course, and is selected by the user H1 who places importance on price regarding the installation of the wiring device 4. When the user H1 presses any of the buttons B1 to B3, only the last button pressed is displayed inverted, allowing the user H1 to confirm which button he or she selected. After the user H1 selects one of the buttons B1 to B3, the user presses the button B4. When the button B4 is pressed, the control unit 11d stores the input course information in memory (S3). The course information is included in the user information of this embodiment.

[0060] Furthermore, when the button B4 is pressed, the control unit 11d causes the display 11b (display unit 2a) to display an input screen for each course according to the course information input in step S3. The input screen for each course is a screen for generating reference information for each course.

[0061] 8 shows an example of an input screen G2a displayed on the display 11b when the user H1 selects a recommended course. The input screen G2a is a screen for allowing the user H1 to input reference information as user information, and includes buttons B11 to B22. In the input screen G2a, each piece of information on the family structure and residence structure of the user H1 is used as reference information.

[0062] Buttons B11 to B15 are buttons for selecting the family structure of user H1. Button B11 is a button for selecting "single" as the family structure. Button B12 is a button for selecting "couple" as the family structure. Button B13 is a button for selecting "couple + children" as the family structure. Button B14 is a button for selecting "two generations living together" as the family structure. Button B15 is a button for selecting "other" as the family structure. When button B15 is pressed, a screen for manually inputting the family structure is displayed, and user H1 can input any family structure.

[0063] Buttons B16 to B20 are buttons for selecting the residence configuration of user H1. Button B16 is a button for selecting "1K" as the residence configuration. Button B17 is a button for selecting "2K" as the residence configuration. Button B18 is a button for selecting "2LDK" as the residence configuration. Button B19 is a button for selecting "3LDK" as the residence configuration. Button B20 is a button for selecting "Other" as the residence configuration. When button B20 is pressed, a screen for manually inputting the residence configuration is displayed, and user H1 can input any residence configuration.

[0064] When the user H1 presses any of the buttons B11 to B15, only the last button pressed among the buttons B11 to B15 is displayed inverted, so that the user H1 can confirm which button he / she selected. When the user H1 presses any of the buttons B16 to B20, only the last button pressed among the buttons B16 to B20 is displayed inverted, so that the user H1 can confirm which button he / she selected. The user H1 selects one of the buttons B11 to B15, and after selecting one of the buttons B16 to B20, presses the button B21. When the button B21 is pressed, the control unit 11d stores the input reference information (each of the information on the family structure and the dwelling structure of the user H1) in a memory (S4). The reference information is included in the user information of this embodiment.

[0065] Furthermore, when the button B22 is pressed, the control unit 11d causes the display 11b to display the course selection screen G1 (see FIG. 7). That is, when the button B22 is pressed, the control unit 11d returns to step S3 and performs the course information input process again.

[0066] 9 shows an example of an input screen G2b displayed on the display 11b when the user H1 selects the special course in step S3. The input screen G2b is a screen for allowing the user H1 to input reference information as user information, and includes buttons B31 to B37. In the input screen G2b, information on functions that the user H1 desires for the wiring fixture 4 is used as reference information.

[0067] Buttons B31 to B35 are buttons for allowing user H1 to select a desired function. Buttons B31 to B35 are buttons for selecting functions (1) to (5), respectively. Functions include "preventing forgetting to turn off the lights," "preventing forgetting to lock the door," "crime prevention," "monitoring inside the facility," "parental or child monitoring," "energy saving," "reducing the number of remote controls," "remote control of devices," "reducing switch operations," "comfortable temperature and humidity," and "latest functions."

[0068] When the user H1 presses any of the buttons B31 to B35, only the last button pressed among the buttons B31 to B35 is displayed inverted, allowing the user H1 to confirm which button he or she selected. After the user H1 selects one of the buttons B31 to B35, the user H1 presses the button B36. When the button B36 is pressed, the control unit 11d stores the input reference information (information on the function desired by the user H1) in memory (S4). The reference information is included in the user information of this embodiment.

[0069] Furthermore, when the button B37 is pressed, the control unit 11d causes the display 11b to display the course selection screen G1 (see FIG. 7). That is, when the button B37 is pressed, the control unit 11d returns to step S3 and performs the course information input process again.

[0070] The input screen G2b may be a screen that allows the user H1 to input information regarding the style of the facility desired by the user H1 (elegant, modern, oriental, etc.) or the scenes that the user H1 considers important (family gatherings, home theater, studying, reading, etc.) as reference information.

[0071] 10 shows an example of an input screen G2c displayed on the display 11b when the user H1 selects the price range course in step S3. The input screen G2c is a screen for allowing the user H1 to input reference information as user information, and includes buttons B41 to B47. In the input screen G2c, information on the price range of the wiring fixture 4 desired by the user H1 is used as reference information.

[0072] The buttons B41 to B45 are buttons for allowing the user H1 to select a price range of the wiring accessory 4 desired by the user H1. The buttons B41 to B45 are buttons for selecting price range (1) to price range (5), respectively. When the user H1 presses any of the buttons B41 to B45, only the button pressed last among the buttons B41 to B45 is displayed inverted, allowing the user H1 to confirm which button he or she selected. After selecting one of the buttons B41 to B45, the user H1 presses the button B46. When the button B46 is pressed, the control unit 11d stores the input reference information (information on the price range of the wiring accessory 4 desired by the user H1) in a memory (S4). Note that the reference information is included in the user information of this embodiment.

[0073] Furthermore, when the button B47 is pressed, the control unit 11d causes the display 11b to display the course selection screen G1 (see FIG. 7). That is, when the button B47 is pressed, the control unit 11d returns to step S3 and performs the course information input process again.

[0074] Then, when any one of the buttons B21 (see FIG. 8), B36 (see FIG. 9), and B46 (see FIG. 10) is pressed, the control unit 11d causes the display 11b (display unit 2a) to display the proposal screen G3 of FIG. 11. The proposal screen G3 displays user information such as profile information, course information, and reference information input by the user H1 in the comment field C1. Then, when the button B51 of the proposal screen G3 is pressed, the control unit 11d causes the communication unit 11c to transmit the user information of the user H1 to the server 12. In the server 12, the user information receiving unit 2c receives the user information, and the storage unit 121 stores the user information (S5). That is, the user information receiving unit 2c performs a reception process for receiving the user information.

[0075] Furthermore, when the button B52 is pressed, the control unit 11d causes the display 11b to display one of the input screens G2a (see FIG. 8), G2b (see FIG. 9), and G2c (see FIG. 10) as the previous screen. That is, when the button B52 is pressed, the control unit 11d returns to step S4 and performs the reference information input process again.

[0076] In the server 12, the installation information generating unit 2f performs a simulation to generate installation information based on the user information (profile information, course information, reference information) stored in the storage unit 121 (S6). The installation information is information in which the device information related to the wiring device 4 is arranged on a floor plan of the facility used by the user H1. The device information is information such as the symbol, function, name, and model of the second unit 42 of the wiring device 4. That is, the installation information generating unit 2f performs a simulation to generate a proposed plan for the installation of the second unit 42 of the wiring device 4 based on the user information. For example, in the device installation support system 1, it is preferable that an installation information generation algorithm is created in advance by machine learning such as deep learning, and the installation information generating unit 2f performs a process of generating installation information based on the user information using the generation algorithm by machine learning. The installation information generating unit 2f transmits the generated installation information to the user terminal 11. This installation information generating unit 2f can generate installation information in which the desire of the user H1 is reflected in the installation of the wiring device 4 by performing a simulation based on the user information.

[0077] In the user terminal 11, when the communication unit 11c receives the installation information from the server 12, the control unit 11d causes the display 11b to display an installation information screen including the installation information (S7). Fig. 12 shows an example of the installation information screen G11 displayed on the display 11b.

[0078] The installation information screen G11 is a screen in which a second model M12, which is a model of the second unit 42, is arranged on the floor plan information I1 (see FIG. 6). That is, the installation information screen G11 is a screen in which the second model M12 is attached to the facility model M1 of the floor plan information I1, and the second model M12 is arranged so as to overlap the first model M11 (see FIG. 6). The second model M12 can only be arranged at the position of the first model M11.

[0079] The second models M12 to be attached to the first models M11 in the facility model M1 are determined by the simulation results. The design (shape) of the symbol of the second model M12 on the installation information screen G11 is created in advance to have a different design for each type of the second unit 42, and the user H1 viewing the installation information screen G11 can know where and what type of second unit 42 is to be attached.

[0080] Furthermore, the input support unit 2b of the user terminal 11 hierarchically transitions the screens displayed on the display 11b according to the operation of the user H1 on the installation information screen G11. For example, when the user H1 selects any one of the second models M12 in the installation information screen G11 by operating the operation unit 11a and performs a detail display operation, the input support unit 2b causes the display 11b to display a sub-screen G12 on which details of the selected second model M12 are described, superimposed on the installation information screen G11. The details of the second model M12 are information such as the function, name, model, and installation location of the second model M12.

[0081] FIG. 13 shows an example of the lower screen G12. The lower screen G12 is displayed by overlapping a part of the installation information screen G11 with the installation information screen G11, and displays information such as the function, name, model, and installation location of the second model M12. The input support unit 2b can erase the lower screen G12 by the user H1 operating the operation unit 11a. Note that the input support unit 2b may display only the lower screen G12 when the screen displayed by the display 11b is transitioned from the installation information screen G11 to the lower screen G12. Also, the input support unit 2b may transition from the lower screen G12 to another lower screen.

[0082] Furthermore, the user H1 can also modify the installation information proposed on the installation information screen G11 by operating the operation unit 11a.

[0083] For example, when the user H1 selects any one of the second models M12 in the installation information screen G11 by operating the operation unit 11a and performs a device change operation, the input support unit 2b displays on the display 11b a device change screen that lists one or more second models M12 that can be arranged in place of the selected second model M12. The second models M12 listed on the device change screen are displayed together with their functions, names, models, and the like. The user H1 operates the operation unit 11a to select any one of the second models M12 listed on the device change screen as the second model M12 after change. The input support unit 2b replaces the second model M12 in the installation information screen G11 with the second model M12 after change selected by the user H1. As a result, the installation information proposed on the installation information screen G11 is changed to installation information that is more in line with the intention of the user H1 (S9).

[0084] Furthermore, when the user H1 selects a desired position in the installation information screen G11 by operating the operation unit 11a and performs a device addition operation, the input support unit 2b adds the first model M11 to the selected position and overlays the second model M12 selected by the user H1 on the first model M11. As a result, the installation information proposed on the installation information screen G11 is changed to installation information that is more in line with the intention of the user H1 (S9).

[0085] Then, the user H1 looks at the installation information screen G11 displayed on the display 11b, and if the user H1 approves the current installation information screen G11 as the final installation information screen G11, he or she presses the button B61 (see FIG. 12) on the installation information screen G11. That is, if the user H1 approves the final installation information, he or she presses the button B61 on the installation information screen G11. If the button B61 is pressed, the control unit 11d determines that it is OK (S8), and causes the display 11b to display the first confirmation screen G21 (see FIG. 14) (S10). If the button B61 is not pressed (S8), the control unit 11d enables the process of step S9 described above.

[0086] 14 shows an example of the first confirmation screen G21 displayed on the display 11b. The first confirmation screen G21 includes an input field F101 and buttons B101 to B102.

[0087] In the input field F101, the user H1 inputs a file name for saving the final installation information screen G11 by inputting the file name in the operation unit 11a. After inputting the file name in the input field F101, the user H1 presses the button B101. When the button B101 is pressed, the control unit 11d stores in memory the save information that links the input file name with the final installation information screen G11.

[0088] Furthermore, when the user H1 requests a list of wiring accessories 4 based on the final installation information screen G11, the user H1 presses the button B102. When the button B102 is pressed, the control unit 11d causes the display 11b to display the second confirmation screen G22 of Fig. 15. The second confirmation screen G22 includes buttons B111 and B112, and displays the list L1 of the wiring accessories 4. The control unit 11d creates the list L1 based on the final installation information screen G11.

[0089] After checking the displayed list L1, the user H1 presses the button B111. When the button B111 is pressed, the control unit 11d causes the communication unit 11c to transmit information on the final installation information screen G11 to the server 12. In the server 12, the storage unit 121 stores the information on the final installation information screen G11. Furthermore, in the server 12, the order information generation unit 2g generates order information for the wiring fixture 4 based on the final installation information screen G11 (final installation information). The order information includes information such as the model, quantity, and price of the first unit 41 and the second unit 42 of the wiring fixture 4 included in the final installation information screen G11. Then, the order information generation unit 2g transmits the order information to the design terminal 13 and the contractor terminal 14.

[0090] When user H1 presses button B112, control unit 11d downloads the order information from server 12 and stores the order information in memory. In response to user H1 operating operation unit 11a, control unit 11d can read the order information from memory and display the order information on display 11b or print the order information on a printer.

[0091] Therefore, the designer H2 and the contractor H3 can share the final installation information (final installation information screen G11) approved by the user H1 with the user H1 in real time, and can realize the efficiency of construction management work (procurement, manufacturing, inventory, shipping, etc.). Conventionally, in order to select the wiring device 4, at least one of the designer H2 and the contractor H3 interviews the user H1 to share the installation information, which wastes human resources and time. However, the device installation support system 1 can create the installation information based on the judgment of the user H1 alone or through an interview between the user H1 and the designer H2, and the installation information can be shared in real time among the user H1, the designer H2, and the contractor H3, and can use human resources and time effectively.

[0092] In addition, the contractor H3 can transmit backyard information such as inventory and supply capacity of the wiring fixture 4 (second unit 42) as supplier information from the contractor terminal 14 to the server 12. In the server 12, the supplier information receiving unit 2e receives the supplier information. In this case, it is preferable that the installation information generating unit 2f generates the installation information based on the user information and the supplier information. Specifically, the installation information generating unit 2f generates the installation information so that, among the multiple second units 42 in stock, the second units 42 with a large inventory number are used preferentially over the second units 42 with a small inventory number. In addition, the installation information generating unit 2f generates the installation information so that the second units 42 with a high supply capacity are used preferentially over the second units 42 with a low supply capacity. Therefore, the fixture installation support system 1 generates the installation information in which a specific second unit 42 is used preferentially according to the inventory and supply capacity of the wiring fixture 4 (second unit 42), so that the contractor H3 can easily fulfill the order for the wiring fixture 4.

[0093] Furthermore, in the server 12, when the final installation information (final installation information screen G11) is received from the user terminal 11, it is preferable that the auxiliary information generating unit 2h generates installation auxiliary information that assists in the installation work of installing the wiring device 4 in the facility. The installation auxiliary information is at least one of setting information, identification information, and linkage information of the wiring device 4 installed in the facility. The setting information is information on the setting of the software or hardware of the wiring device 4 in order to specify or limit the function of the wiring device 4. The identification information is information uniquely assigned to each of the multiple wiring devices 4 for management (control, monitoring) within the facility. The linkage information is information on pairing that is performed in advance for two or more wiring devices 4 that link with each other among the multiple wiring devices 4 installed in the facility.

[0094] The server 12 transmits the construction auxiliary information generated by the auxiliary information generating unit 2h to the design terminal 13 and the client terminal 14. Based on the construction auxiliary information, the designer H2 can design the installation of each wiring device 4. The client H3 can apply settings based on the construction auxiliary information to the wiring device 4 and then ship the wiring device 4 to the facility.

[0095] Therefore, there is no need to set the wiring device 4 when installing the wiring device 4 in a facility, and it is possible to shorten the installation time, reduce the installation cost, and generalize the installation, etc. Furthermore, if an incorrect installation or connection of the wiring device 4 occurs during installation in a facility, it is easily possible to notify the user of the incorrect installation or connection of the wiring device 4.

[0096] In addition, in the server 12, it is preferable that the data conversion unit 2i converts the data used in the process of generating the installation information into data in a form that can be used for secondary purposes. Specifically, the data conversion unit 2i generates data as secondary data by deleting or erasing personal information from primary data such as user information, floor plan information, supplier information, installation information, order information, and construction support information. The server 12 can generate secondary data that can be used for secondary purposes as big data from the user information, floor plan information, supplier information, installation information, order information, and construction support information acquired from a large number of users H1. For example, the selection tendency, trend, etc. of the second unit 42 can be analyzed based on the attributes and installation information of the user H1.

[0097] Moreover, it is preferable that the appliance installation support system 1 is configured so that at least the user H1 and the facility owner H3 can access the installation information. In this case, not only the user H1 but also the owner H3 can use the owner terminal 14 to access the installation information screen G11 displayed on the user terminal 11. That is, not only the user H1 but also the owner H3 can make changes to the installation information screen G11.

[0098] Furthermore, in the appliance installation support system 1, it is preferable that in addition to the user H1 and the client H3, the designer H2 can also use the design terminal 13 to access the installation information screen G11 displayed on the user terminal 11. In this case, installation information that reflects the respective intentions of the user H1, the designer H2, and the client H3 can be generated.

[0099] Therefore, the installation information screen G11 displayed on the user terminal 11 can be modified from the user terminal 11, the design terminal 13, and the client terminal 14, respectively, so that installation information reflecting the intentions of the user H1, the designer H2, and the client H3 can be generated. That is, the designer H2 or the client H3 can respond to the thoughts of the user H1 in real time or the next day with a reduced time lag.

[0100] The installation information may be used as part of Building Information Modeling data. Hereinafter, Building Information Modeling is abbreviated as BIM data. In addition to the installation information, BIM data includes 3D model data of the facility, component attribute data, schedule data, and labor resource data, as well as construction costs, information on the planning stage before construction, and other data on contractors involved in construction. In this case, data management can be standardized over an even wider range.

[0101] (4.2) After construction The appliance installation assistance system 1 includes a usage information generating unit for transmitting usage information related to the operation of the wiring appliance 4 installed in the facility to the server 12. The usage information generating unit may be provided integrally with the wiring appliance 4 or may be provided separately from the wiring appliance 4.

[0102] In the device installation support system 1, after the wiring device 4 is installed in the facility, the server 12 collects usage information. The usage information is information related to the operation of the wiring device 4. The server 12 collects the usage information as big data and analyzes the usage information to make proposals and provide services related to the wiring device 4 to the user H1. Furthermore, the server 12 provides the usage information or analysis results of the usage information to manufacturers of the wiring devices 4 and businesses that provide various services. The analysis of the usage information is preferably performed for each region, each installer H3, or each user H1.

[0103] By collecting usage information of the wiring devices 4, the device installation support system 1 can grasp the state of the wiring devices 4 after installation and can provide suggestions and services that suit the lifestyle of the user H1. For example, the user H1 can reselect a new wiring device 4 that suits his or her lifestyle. Meanwhile, the designer H2 and the contractor H3 can maintain contact with the user H1 and develop various businesses.

[0104] (4.2.1) Proposal for Wiring Device 4 Hereinafter, a proposal regarding the wiring device 4 made by the device installation support system 1 after construction will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

[0105] In the appliance installation assistance system 1, the data collection unit 2j collects usage information of the wiring appliances 4 installed in the facility, and stores the usage information in the storage unit 121 (S21).

[0106] In the appliance installation assistance system 1, the proposing unit 2k generates a proposal regarding the wiring appliance 4 as proposed information based on the usage information stored in the storage unit 121, and transmits the proposed information to the user terminal 11. In the user terminal 11, the control unit 11d causes the display 11b (display unit 2a) to display the proposed information. The user H1 can check the proposed content by looking at the proposed information displayed on the display 11b. Furthermore, the proposing unit 2k may transmit the proposed information to the user terminal 11 by using a social networking service (SNS).

[0107] Specifically, the usage information includes the following information: The spontaneous operation content of the second unit 42 of the wiring device 4 (for example, the frequency or number of operations of the sensor device, lighting device, etc.). How the second unit 42 is used (information that reflects the habits of the person using the second unit 42, such as a switch device, for example, the frequency or number of times a switch device is operated). -Use history of 2nd unit 42. Usage status (power consumption, usage history, etc.) of electrical devices connected to the second unit 42 (e.g., electrical outlet, USB outlet, etc.). Correlation between the operations of the multiple second units 42 (for example, correlation between a human presence sensor and a lighting device).

[0108] The data collector 2j may collect usage information based on the power consumption of the second unit 42 or the power consumption of an electrical device connected to the second unit 42. In addition, the data collector 2j may detect the power consumption of the second unit 42 or the power consumption of an electrical device connected to the second unit 42 by disaggregation.

[0109] The suggestion unit 2k analyzes, for example, whether or not the wiring apparatus 4 installed in the facility is suitable for the lifestyle of the user H1, based on usage information for a predetermined period after installation (for example, one month after installation).

[0110] Specifically, if the usage information of the second unit 42a (see FIG. 4) that functions as an outlet shows that the plug is frequently plugged in and unplugged, the suggestion unit 2k generates suggestion information that suggests replacing the second unit 42a with a second unit 42c (see FIG. 4) that functions as a USB outlet.

[0111] If the second unit 42g functioning as a switch device is operated frequently, the proposing section 2k generates proposal information proposing a system using the second unit 42e having a function of a human presence sensor.

[0112] Furthermore, the suggestion unit 2k may analyze the usage information and generate suggestion information that suggests lifestyle improvement information to the user H1.

[0113] Furthermore, the suggestion unit 2k may analyze the usage information and create a message to convey the suggested information to the user H1. For example, the message may be, "It has been one month since you started using the wiring device. Thank you. If you would like to know more about the functions of the wiring device, please ask us what you would like to know."

[0114] When generating the proposal information, the proposing unit 2k preferably makes a proposal using a floor plan of the facility in addition to the usage information. In this case, the proposal information illustrates wiring devices 4 to be added, wiring devices 4 to be replaced, wiring devices 4 to be replaced, etc. on the floor plan of the facility, so that the user H1 can easily understand the proposal contents.

[0115] Furthermore, it is preferable that the proposing unit 2k makes a proposal based on the correlation between the location where the wiring device 4 is placed on the floor plan and the function of the wiring device 4. For example, the second unit 42 installed in a toilet is required to have a function appropriate for the location, that is, a toilet. Thus, the proposing unit 2k proposes a second unit 42 having a function appropriate for the location, that is, a toilet, as the second unit 42 to be installed in the toilet. In this case, the device installation support system 1 can optimize the proposal content.

[0116] In addition, it is preferable that the suggestion unit 2k makes a suggestion for the second space of the facility based on the usage information for the first space of the facility. For example, if the facility is an apartment house, the structures of the units in the apartment house are similar. Therefore, among the units in the apartment house, the usage of the wiring device 4 in the first unit can be used as a reference for the second unit. Therefore, the suggestion unit 2k makes a suggestion for the second unit of the facility based on the usage information for the first unit of the facility. In this case, the device installation support system 1 can widen the range of the proposal contents.

[0117] Furthermore, the server 12 may collect usage information of the multiple facilities from the multiple facilities. In this case, it is preferable that the suggestion unit 2k makes a suggestion to a second facility among the multiple facilities based on usage information of a first facility among the multiple facilities. For example, if the multiple facilities are stores of the same chain, the stores have similar structures. Therefore, the second store can refer to the way of using the wiring device 4 in the first store. In this case, the device installation support system 1 can widen the range of proposal contents.

[0118] The content of the proposal by the proposal unit 2k is not limited to the above proposal, and may be information about a new product of the second unit 42, a notification of the life span of the second unit 42, or the like.

[0119] (4.2.2) Service Provision The following describes the services provided by the appliance installation support system 1 after construction.

[0120] In the appliance installation assistance system 1, the service unit 2m provides various services based on the usage information stored in the storage unit 121, as described below. -Monitoring services for the elderly and children within facilities. -Monitoring service for facility power consumption.

[0121] The services provided by the service unit 2m are not limited to the above services.

However, the above-mentioned units may be distributed across three or more computers.

[0124] In other words, at least one computer must execute a program to realize each of the functions of the above-mentioned display unit 2a, input support unit 2b, user information receiving unit 2c, floor plan information receiving unit 2d, supplier information receiving unit 2e, installation information generation unit 2f, order information generation unit 2g, auxiliary information generation unit 2h, data conversion unit 2i, data collection unit 2j, proposal unit 2k, and service unit 2m.
