[0021] (Overview of Information Processing System 1) 1, an information processing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes an information processing device 10, a measurement device 20, and a database 30. The information processing system 1 measures various items related to a building using the measurement device 20, stores the measurement results of each item in the database 30, and processes the measurement results using the information processing device 10 to display the measurement results of each item so that the user can visually recognize them. The items for which the information processing device 10 displays the measurement results are also referred to as measurement items. The information processing device 10 visualizes the information that the user wants to know by displaying items related to the information that the user wants to know.
[0022] A user may want to know whether a building is comfortable to live in or stay in. Therefore, the information processing device 10 may display, as a measurement item, an item that indicates the comfort of the building when the user lives in or stays in the building. For example, a resident or a stayer in a building feels comfortable living or staying in the building when the temperature, humidity, or carbon dioxide concentration, etc., of the internal space of the building is maintained within a predetermined range. Therefore, the item that indicates the comfort of the building may include the temperature, humidity, or carbon dioxide concentration, etc., of the internal space of the building. By the information processing device 10 displaying the temperature, humidity, or carbon dioxide concentration, etc., of the internal space of the building as a measurement item, the user can know whether the user can live comfortably in or stay in the building.
[0023] A user may want to know whether the temperature of the interior space of a building is maintained at a comfortable temperature during hot or cold seasons as the comfort of the building. The information processing device 10 may display the outdoor air temperature of the building and the temperature of the interior space of the building in association with each other as measurement items. In this way, the user can know whether the temperature of the interior space of the building is maintained at a comfortable temperature during hot or cold seasons.
[0024] A user may want to know the thermal insulation performance of a building. This is because a high thermal insulation performance of a building makes the temperature of the interior space of the building less susceptible to the influence of the outside temperature, and the temperature of the interior space of the building is more likely to be maintained at a comfortable temperature. In addition, if an air conditioning system is installed in the building, the high thermal insulation performance of the building reduces the energy consumed by the air conditioning system to maintain the temperature of the interior space of the building at a comfortable temperature even when the outside temperature of the building changes. Therefore, the information processing device 10 may display the outside temperature of the building and the energy consumed by the air conditioning system as measurement items representing the thermal insulation performance of the building. The air conditioning system may include cooling equipment or heating equipment. The air conditioning system may include equipment that consumes electricity to operate, or equipment that consumes fossil fuels such as gas or kerosene to operate.
[0025] As described above, the information processing device 10 may measure items representing the comfort of a building or items representing the thermal insulation performance of a building as information that the user wants to know, and display them as measurement items. The information processing device 10 is not limited to these examples, and may display various other items that the user wants to know. The information processing device 10 displays the information that the user wants to know as measurement items, thereby visualizing the information that the user wants to know.
[0026] The information processing device 10 may display the measurement items on a dashboard. The dashboard is a display mode that allows various data to be displayed at a glance. The information processing device 10 may display the measurement values of each measurement item as a graph or table, or as the numerical values themselves. The information processing device 10 may display statistical values calculated by statistically processing the measurement values of each measurement item as a graph or table, or as the numerical values themselves. The information processing device 10 may associate the respective measurement values of at least two measurement items, and display at least two measurement items in a comparable manner. The information processing device 10 may display, on a dashboard, the temperature or humidity inside the building, the carbon dioxide concentration inside the building, or the energy consumption of air conditioning equipment installed in the building, as measurement items that represent the insulation performance of the building, for example.
[0027] The measuring device 20 may measure the temperature of multiple parts of the building and generate a thermal image showing the temperature distribution. A thermal image is an image of a building in which a color representing the temperature of each part is assigned to pixels corresponding to each part of the building. The information processing device 10 may display the thermal image as a measurement item.

[0036] The information processing device 10 may be realized using a cloud service, or may be realized in an on-premise environment. The information processing device 10 may be realized in a form in which the cloud service and the on-premise environment are mixed.
[0037] <Measuring device 20> The measuring device 20 includes a sensor 21 and a camera 22 .
[0038] The sensor 21 may include a temperature sensor that measures the temperature of the interior space of the building or the outside air temperature of the building. The sensor 21 may include a humidity sensor that measures the humidity of the interior space of the building or the humidity outside the building. The sensor 21 may include a carbon dioxide concentration sensor that measures the carbon dioxide concentration of the interior space of the building. The sensor 21 may include a watt-hour meter that measures the instantaneous value or the integrated power consumption of the air conditioning equipment installed in the building. The watt-hour meter may be a smart meter. The sensor 21 outputs the measurement value to the information processing device 10. The sensor 21 may output the measurement value as a file in a format such as CSV (Comma Separated Value). The sensor 21 may output a signal corresponding to the measurement value so that the information processing device 10 can sample the measurement value. The sensor 21 may output the measurement value to the database 30 and store it.
[0039] The camera 22 may be configured to take a photograph of at least a part of the building as a measurement item. The camera 22 may be configured to take a thermal image of at least a part of the building as a measurement item. The camera 22 outputs a photograph or a thermal image of at least a part of the building to the information processing device 10. The camera 22 may output the photograph or the thermal image to the database 30 for storage. The measuring device 20 does not have to include the camera 22.
[0040] In the information processing system 1, the information processing device 10 may acquire information from a sensor 21 or a camera 22 included in the information processing system 1 itself. The information processing device 10 may acquire information from a sensor or a camera connected to the outside of the information processing system 1.

[0043] At least a part of the functions of the database 30 may be realized by the information processing device 10. In other words, the information processing device 10 may be configured integrally with at least a part of the database 30.
[0044] The information processing system 1 may not include the database 30. When the information processing system 1 does not include the database 30, the function of the database 30 may be realized by the storage unit 12 of the information processing device 10. In other words, the database 30 may be included in the information processing device 10. The database 30 or the storage unit 12 is also collectively referred to as a storage device.
[0045] (Example of operation of information processing system 1) In the information processing system 1 according to the present disclosure, the information processing device 10 acquires a plurality of measurement items related to a building from a measurement device 20. The information processing device 10 may display at least one of information representing the respective measured values of at least two of the plurality of measurement items, or information representing the respective statistical values of the at least two measurement items, in a manner that allows comparison for at least two measurement items. The statistical value is a value calculated by statistically processing the measured values. The statistical value may include a maximum or minimum value or an average value of the measured values within a specified period of time. The statistical value may include, among the measured values within a specified period of time, the percentage of time that the measured values fall within a specified range, or the percentage of time that the measured values fall outside the specified range.
[0046] <Example of how to display the procedure> Hereinafter, an operation will be described in which the control unit 11 of the information processing device 10 executes a display method including the steps of the flowchart exemplified in Fig. 2 to display information that a user wants to know about a building. The display method may be realized as a display program executed by the control unit 11. The display program may be stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium.
[0047] The control unit 11 acquires the measured values of the measurement items from the measurement device 20 (step S1). Step S1 is also referred to as an acquisition step. The control unit 11 may acquire the measured values of a plurality of measurement items. The control unit 11 may acquire at least two measurement items, for example, the temperature or relative humidity of the interior space of the building, the outside air temperature of the building, the carbon dioxide concentration of the interior space of the building, or the power consumption in the building. The control unit 11 may calculate the absolute humidity of the interior space of the building based on the temperature and relative humidity of the interior space of the building. The control unit 11 may acquire the power consumption by distinguishing between the power consumption of the air conditioning equipment and the power consumption of other devices. The control unit 11 may acquire the amount of gas or kerosene used for heating or the like in the building.
[0048] The control unit 11 may obtain a measurement value for at least one measurement item in real time from the measurement device 20. The control unit 11 may obtain the measurement value in real time by obtaining the measurement value from the measurement device 20 using an API. The control unit 11 may obtain the measurement value in real time by sampling a signal output from the measurement device 20.
[0049] The control unit 11 may not obtain the measurement values in real time, but may obtain the measurement values after a period of time has elapsed since the measurement. The control unit 11 may obtain the measurement values for at least one measurement item collectively from the measurement device 20 as a file in which data is recorded in a format such as CSV. In other words, the control unit 11 may obtain the measurement values within a predetermined period collectively. The predetermined period is determined according to the timing at which the control unit 11 requests the measurement value file from the measurement device 20.
[0050] The control unit 11 may acquire, as a measured value, a value input to the input unit 15 for at least one measurement item. The control unit 11 may, for example, have the user input the amount of power consumption written on a power meter reading slip in the input unit 15. When the user inputs the measured values collectively, the control unit 11 may acquire the measured values input by the user collectively.
[0051] The control unit 11 may set whether to acquire the measured value in real time or to acquire the measured value collectively for each measurement item. The control unit 11 may set to acquire the measured value in real time for at least one measurement item and to acquire the measured value collectively after a period of time has passed since the measurement.
[0052] The control unit 11 may acquire the measurement values as time-series data regardless of whether the measurement values are acquired in real time or collectively. The control unit 11 may generate time-series data by arranging the measurement values acquired in real time and the measurement values acquired collectively in a chronological order.
[0053] The control unit 11 determines whether there is a setting to display the measured values in real time for at least one measurement item (step S2). If there is no setting to display the measured values in real time for all measurement items, the control unit 11 determines that there is no setting to display the measured values in real time (step S2: NO) and proceeds to the procedure of step S4.
[0054] If there is a setting to display the measured values for at least one measurement item in real time (step S2: YES), the control unit 11 displays the measured values of the measurement item set to be displayed in real time on the display unit 14 in real time (step S3). Step S3 is also referred to as a display step. For example, as shown in Fig. 3, the control unit 11 may display the measured values of the measurement item set to be displayed in real time on the display unit 14 so that they can be viewed as numerical values or graphs.
[0055] The control unit 11 may display a selection object 130 as a user interface for allowing the user to select measurement items to be displayed in real time. The selection object 130 may include a check box for each measurement item. The control unit 11 may switch between selecting and not selecting each measurement item as an item to be displayed in real time based on an input to the check box. The control unit 11 may display in real time the measured value of the measurement item selected by the check box. In the example of FIG. 3, the room temperature, the outside temperature, and the power consumption are selected from the measurement items and displayed in real time. The selection object 130 may be displayed so that various other items can be selected, not limited to the measurement items exemplified. The selection object 130 may be displayed so that the amount of gas or kerosene used for heating or the like in a building can be selected as a measurement item, for example.
[0056] The control unit 11 may display the measurement values of the selected measurement items, room temperature, outside temperature, and power consumption, as numerical values in the current value object 110. In other words, the control unit 11 may display the numerical values of the measurement values themselves. The current value object 110 may display the current value of the measurement value of each measurement item. The current value object 110 may display the maximum or minimum measurement value of each measurement item. The maximum or minimum measurement value may be determined from the measurement values within a period going back a predetermined time from the present.
[0057] The control unit 11 may display an image corresponding to the measurement value as information representing the measurement value of each measurement item. The image corresponding to the measurement value may include a pie chart, a line graph, a bar graph, or the like. The image corresponding to the measurement value may include an image of a measuring device. The image of the measuring device may include, for example, an image expressing a liquid level indication value of a mercury thermometer or an alcohol thermometer. The image of the measuring device may include, for example, an image expressing the measurement value with a needle and a scale.
[0058] The current value object 110 may display the respective measured values of at least two measurement items. By displaying the respective measured values of at least two measurement items, the user can visually compare the respective measured values of the at least two measurement items. In other words, the current value object 110 can display the measured values of at least two measurement items in a comparable manner.
[0059] The control unit 11 may display the measured values of the selected measurement items, that is, room temperature, outside temperature, and power consumption, as a graph in the graph object 120. The graph object 120 may display the measured values of each measurement item as information arranged in chronological order going back from the present to the past. In the example of Fig. 3, the measured values going back up to 24 hours are displayed as a graph. The length of time going back is not limited to 24 hours and may be another length of time.
[0060] The graph object 120 may display the measured values of at least two measurement items in a time series arranged on the same time axis. By displaying the measured values of at least two measurement items in a time series arranged on the same time axis, the user can visually compare the time changes of the measured values of at least two measurement items. In other words, the graph object 120 can display the time changes of the measured values of at least two measurement items in a comparable manner.
[0061] Returning to FIG. 2, after executing the procedure of step S3, or if it is determined in step S2 that there is no setting to display the measurement values in real time, the control unit 11 determines whether a display period of the measurement values has been specified (step S4). The display period of the measurement values means that the measurement values measured within that period will be subject to display on the display unit 14. When the display period is specified, the control unit 11 displays the measurement values measured within the display period on the display unit 14. The display period may be set as a period in units of, for example, one hour, one day, one week, one month, or one year. The control unit 11 may set the display period based on an input from the user.
[0062] If the display period is not specified (step S4: NO), the control unit 11 returns to the procedure of step S1 and repeats obtaining the measurement values.
[0063] If a display period is specified (step S4: YES), the control unit 11 processes the measurement values within the display period (step S5). The control unit 11 may set at least some of the measurement items as targets to be displayed, and process the measurement values of the measurement items to be displayed.
[0064] The control unit 11 may perform statistical processing on the measured values within the display period to calculate statistical values. The control unit 11 may calculate, for example, the average value, variance, or standard deviation of the measured values within the display period as the statistical value. The control unit 11 may determine, for example, the maximum value or minimum value of the measured values within the display period as the statistical value.
[0065] The control unit 11 may display the numerical value of the statistical value itself as information representing the statistical value of each measurement item, or may display an image corresponding to the statistical value. The image corresponding to the statistical value may include a pie chart, a line graph, a bar graph, or the like.
[0066] The control unit 11 may calculate the length of the period during which the measurement value falls within a predetermined range in the display period. The control unit 11 may calculate the ratio of the length of the period during which the measurement value falls within a predetermined range to the length of the display period. The control unit 11 may calculate the length of the period during which the measurement value falls outside the predetermined range in the display period. The control unit 11 may calculate the ratio of the length of the period during which the measurement value falls outside the predetermined range to the length of the display period.
[0067] The control unit 11 displays the results of processing the measurement values in the procedure of step S5 on the display unit 14 (step S6). Step S6 is also referred to as a display step. The control unit 11 may display at least one of information representing the respective measurement values of at least two measurement items, or information representing statistical values calculated by statistically processing the respective measurement values of at least two measurement items, in a manner that allows comparison for the at least two measurement items. The control unit 11 may display the processing results on the display unit 14, for example, as shown in Figures 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
[0068] The display example of Fig. 4 includes a selection object 130 for allowing the user to set the measurement items to be displayed. In the display example of Fig. 4, room temperature, outside temperature, relative humidity, absolute humidity, CO2 (carbon dioxide) concentration, and power consumption are selected. The selection object 130 is not limited to the measurement items exemplified, and may be displayed to allow the selection of various other items. For example, the selection object 130 may be displayed to allow the selection of the amount of gas or kerosene used for heating or the like in a building as a measurement item.
[0069] The display example of Fig. 4 includes a period setting object 140 for allowing the user to set the display period. In the display example of Fig. 4, February 6, 2023 is set as the display period. The period setting object 140 may be displayed so that the display period can be set not only by date but also by time.
[0070] The display example of FIG. 4 includes a statistics object 150. The statistics object 150 may display the average value, maximum value, and minimum value of each measurement item within a display period as numerical values. When displaying room temperature, the statistics object 150 may display, as a pie chart image, the percentage of the display period during which the room temperature was below 18° C. or the percentage of the display period during which the room temperature was 28° C. or higher. When displaying CO2 (carbon dioxide) concentration, the statistics object 150 may display, as a pie chart image, the percentage of the display period during which the carbon dioxide concentration was 1000 ppm or higher. The display form of the graph is not limited to a pie chart, and may be other forms such as a line graph or a bar graph.
[0071] The display example of FIG. 4 includes a graph object 160. The graph object 160 may display time series data of the measured values of each measurement item within the display period as a graph. In the display example of FIG. 4, time series data for February 6, 2023 of the measured values of room temperature, outside temperature, relative humidity, absolute humidity, CO2 (carbon dioxide) concentration, and power consumption, which are selected as the measurement items to be displayed, are displayed as graphs. By displaying the measured values of the measurement items specified by the user in a list, information that the user wants to know about the building is visualized. As a result, the user can easily recognize the information that he or she wants to know about the building.
[0072] The display example in Fig. 5 is a bar graph showing the amount of power consumption by month. The amount of power consumption may be displayed separately for the amount of power consumed by home appliances or lighting equipment, the amount of power consumed for hot water supply, and the amount of power consumed for air conditioning. The classification of the amount of power consumption is not limited to these examples.
[0073] The control unit 11 may obtain the measured values of the energy consumption of the building by power use and display the energy consumption by use as it is as the energy consumption of each section. The control unit 11 may obtain the measured values of the energy consumption of the entire building, execute a calculation to divide the energy consumption by power use based on pre-set preconditions, and display the divided energy consumption as the energy consumption of each section.
[0074] The display example of FIG. 6 is a histogram of temperatures in the interior space of a building. The range of the bar graph with cross-hatching corresponds to the temperature range in which humans can live comfortably. The temperature range in which humans can live comfortably is also called the comfortable temperature range. In the present disclosure, the comfortable temperature range is assumed to be a range from 18°C to 28°C. The upper and lower limit values of the comfortable temperature range are not limited to the example of the present disclosure and may be set to other values. The lower limit value of the comfortable temperature range is not limited to 18°C and may be set to other values. The upper limit value of the comfortable temperature range is not limited to 28°C and may be set to other values.
[0075] The display example in FIG. 7 includes displays of the comfortable time rate of the building and the power consumption amount of the air conditioning equipment installed in the building.
[0076] The comfortable time rate is the ratio of the length of the period during which the temperature of the interior space of the building falls within the comfortable temperature range during the display period. In other words, the comfortable time rate is information regarding the time during which the time series data of the measured temperature of the interior space of the building satisfies a predetermined condition. The predetermined condition corresponds to the measured value at each time of the time series data of the temperature of the interior space of the building falling within the comfortable temperature range. The predetermined condition is not limited to the example of the present disclosure and may be set to another condition. The control unit 11 may calculate the comfortable time rate from the histogram illustrated in FIG. 6.
[0077] The power consumption amount is an integrated value of the amount of power consumed by the air conditioning equipment within the display period. The control unit 11 may calculate the power consumption amount from a power consumption amount graph exemplified in FIG.
[0078] Here, it is more economical to consume less power to increase the comfort time rate. Therefore, the power consumption efficiency of an air-conditioning facility can be evaluated by dividing the comfort time rate by the amount of power consumption. The control unit 11 may display text information indicating that the power consumption efficiency is good, as exemplified in FIG. 7.
[0079] The display example of FIG. 7 includes a graph showing the relationship between the comfort time rate and power consumption. The horizontal axis of the graph shows the comfort time rate, and the vertical axis shows the power consumption. The dashed line sloping upward to the right of the graph shows the required level of power consumption efficiency of the air conditioning equipment. If the point showing the relationship between the comfort time rate and power consumption is below the dashed line, the power consumption efficiency of the air conditioning equipment exceeds the required level. Therefore, by looking at the graph shown in FIG. 7, a user can easily recognize whether the power consumption efficiency of the air conditioning equipment in a building exceeds the required level.
[0080] The power consumption efficiency of an air conditioning system in a building is improved by the thermal insulation performance of the building. By looking at the graph shown in FIG. 7, a user can easily recognize whether the thermal insulation performance of a building is high.
[0081] The display example of FIG. 8 is a graph that displays time series data of room temperature in a room of a building so that measured values before and after the construction of the building renovation work can be compared. The horizontal axis of the graph represents time, and the vertical axis represents room temperature. The control unit 11 may set the period before the construction of the renovation work and the period after the construction of the renovation work as the display period. The control unit 11 may display the measured values of room temperature in the period before the construction and the measured values of room temperature in the period after the construction on the same time axis on different dates. According to the display example of FIG. 8, the time change of room temperature after the construction of the renovation work is smaller than the time change of room temperature before the construction of the renovation work. This result indicates that the time change of room temperature has been reduced by the renovation work. One factor that reduces the time change of room temperature may be the improvement of the insulation performance due to the renovation work of the building. Therefore, the user can easily visually recognize the improvement of insulation performance due to the renovation work by visually comparing the time series data of room temperature before and after the construction of the renovation work as exemplified in FIG. 8.
[0082] Returning to Fig. 2, the control unit 11 determines whether to end the display of the measurement values (step S7). The control unit 11 may determine to end the display of the measurement values when an instruction to end the display of the measurement values is received from the user via the input unit 15. If the control unit 11 does not want to end the display of the measurement values (step S7: NO), it returns to the procedure of step S1 and repeats obtaining the measurement values. If the control unit 11 wants to end the display of the measurement values (step S7: YES), it ends the execution of the procedure of the flowchart in Fig. 2.
