DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] [Embodiment 1] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0010] <Office space> This embodiment relates to an online conference space construction system arranged in an office space where a plurality of workers work. Fig. 2 is a schematic perspective view showing a part of the office space WS according to this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 2, chairs, tables, desks, etc. for a plurality of workers to work may be arranged in the office space WS.

[0011] In the work space WS according to the present embodiment, an online conference space MS for holding online conferences is constructed. The online conference space MS according to the present embodiment is a space in which online conferences can be held between workers in remote locations using a communication unit or the like, which will be described later.

[0012] <Online meeting space creation system> The online conference space WS according to this embodiment is constructed in the office space WS according to the situation by the online conference space construction system. The online conference space construction system according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 3. Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 are respectively a schematic perspective view and a schematic plan view showing the online conference space construction system 1 according to this embodiment.

[0013] The online conference space construction system 1 includes a panel set 10. When installed in the office space WS, the panel set 10 functions as a partition for part of the office space WS, and constructs an online conference space MS within the partitioned space. Note that the online conference space MS does not need to be completely partitioned from other spaces in the office space WS, and it is sufficient that only part of the boundary of the online conference space MS is partitioned by the panel set 10. Inside the online conference space MS, furniture including chairs C and tables T may be installed to be used by workers who will participate in online conferences in the online conference space MS.

[0014] 1 and 3, the panel set 10 includes a first panel 11, a second panel 12, and a third panel 13. The panel set 10 has casters 14, which will be described in detail later, and is configured to be movable within the office space WS. As a result, the panel set 10 partitions a part of the office space WS depending on the situation, and appropriately creates an online conference space MS somewhere in the office space WS.

[0015] As described below, each panel of the panel set 10 is covered with nonwoven fabric. Therefore, in the online conference space MS partitioned by the panel set 10, the view from outside the online conference space MS, particularly from other workers in the work space WS, is blocked by the panel set 10. Therefore, the panel set 10 improves the confidentiality of online conferences in the online conference space MS.

[0016] <First Panel> An example of each of the first panel 11, the second panel 12, and the third panel 13 included in the panel set 10 will be described in more detail with reference to Figures 4 to 6. Figures 4, 5, and 6 are schematic perspective views showing the first panel 11, the second panel 12, and the third panel 13, respectively. Note that in Figures 4, 5, and 6, the outlines of members that are not directly visible from the outside of each panel, such as those formed inside each panel, are shown by dotted lines.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 4, the first panel 11 may have a substantially flat plate-like outer shape. For example, the first panel 11 has, among the surfaces of the flat plate-like outer shape, a surface facing the online conference space MS as shown in FIG. 3 as a main surface 11P. In this case, the first panel 11 may have a display 15 and a camera unit 16 arranged on the main surface 11P side. The first panel 11 may have a nonwoven fabric 21 covering the surface including the main surface 11P. By designing the nonwoven fabric 21 to harmonize with the office space WS, it is possible to make the panel set 10 including the first panel 11 harmonize more with the office space WS.

[0018] The display 15 may output an image of an online conference held in the online conference space MS. The display 15 may also output an image of materials for the online conference, remote workers, and the space in which the remote workers are located. The camera unit 16 may include a camera 17 that captures the participants of the online conference in the online conference space MS. The display 15 may output an image captured by the camera unit 16.

[0019] Since the first panel 11 is equipped with the display 15 and the camera unit 16, there is no need to prepare a separate display and camera unit in the online conference space MS. Therefore, the panel set 10 equipped with the first panel 11 realizes space saving in the online conference space MS, and also provides an online conference space MS in which online conferences can be held more easily and comfortably.

[0020] As long as the display 15 and the camera unit 16 are located on the side of the online conference space MS and inside the online conference space MS, the installation position of the display 15 and the camera unit 16 is not limited to the first panel 11. In other words, the display 15 and the camera unit 16 may be located on any panel of the panel set 10.

[0021] The first panel 11 is formed with casters 14 via caster arms 14A. A plurality of caster arms 14A may extend from below the first panel 11, so that the first panel 11 can stand on its own. However, the first panel 11 is not limited to this, and may be connected to other panels included in the panel set 10 to maintain an upright state. The casters 14 and caster arms 14A may also be provided on the second panel 12 and the third panel 13. Each panel included in the panel set 10 including the first panel 11 may include various rolling elements, instead of the casters 14, to enable the panel set 10 to move within the office space WS.

[0022] 4, an online conference speaker 31 is disposed on the first panel 11. The online conference speaker 31 outputs audio of the online conference toward the inside of the online conference space MS, as will be described later in detail. For this reason, the online conference speaker 31 may be disposed along the main surface 11P of the first panel 11.

[0023] A communication unit 41 may be disposed on the first panel 11. The communication unit 41 includes a unit for establishing wireless communication necessary for an online conference in the online conference space MS. For example, the communication unit 41 may include a communication device, such as a router, for connecting electronic devices, such as a PC, in the online conference space MS to the Internet. The communication unit 41 may also include a communication device, such as a wireless communication repeater, for wirelessly connecting electronic devices in the online conference space MS to each other.

[0024] By disposing the communication unit 41 on the first panel 11, there is no need to provide a separate communication unit in the online conference space MS. Therefore, the panel set 10 including the first panel 11 realizes space saving in the online conference space MS, and also provides an online conference space MS in which online conferences can be held more easily and comfortably.

[0025] The first panel 11 may be provided with a battery storage section 51 capable of storing a battery as a power source. The battery storage section 51 may store, for example, a battery for supplying power to the display 15, the camera unit 16, the online conference speaker 31, and the communication unit 41 arranged on the first panel 11. The battery storage section 51 may also store, for example, a battery for supplying power to electronic devices in the online conference space MS. The battery in the battery storage section 51 and each electronic device may be connected by a wired connection or the like, and in this case, the battery storage section 51 may have an outlet or the like for connecting the battery and each electronic device.

[0026] By providing the first panel 11 with the battery storage section 51, it becomes unnecessary to route wiring for supplying power to electronic devices in the online conference space MS from a power strip or the like whose position is fixed in the office space WS to the online conference space MS. Therefore, the panel set 10 including the first panel 11 improves the flexibility of the location in the office space WS in which the online conference space MS is constructed. In addition, the panel set 10 including the first panel 11 suppresses the complication of the office space WS caused by routing wiring from the online conference space MS to the office space WS. Alternatively, the panel set 10 including the first panel 11 suppresses the deterioration of the aesthetics of the office space WS caused by the wiring being located in the office space WS.

[0027] The online conference speaker 31, the communication unit 41, and the battery storage section 51 may be stored inside the first panel 11, or may be stored in a recess formed on the main surface 11P side of the first panel 11. In this case, the nonwoven fabric 21 may function as a masking material to prevent the online conference speaker 31, the communication unit 41, the battery storage section 51, and the like from being directly viewed.

[0028] <Second Panel> As shown in Fig. 5, the second panel 12 may have a substantially flat outer shape, and in particular may have a substantially identical outer shape to the outer shape of the first panel 11. For example, the second panel 12 has, among the faces of the flat outer shape, a face facing away from the online conference space MS as shown in Fig. 3 as a main face 12P. The second panel 12 may have a nonwoven fabric 22 covering a surface including the main face 12P, and the nonwoven fabric 22 may have the same configuration as the nonwoven fabric 21.

[0029] 5, a sound masking speaker 32 is disposed on the second panel 12. The sound masking speaker 32 outputs a sound masking sound toward the outside of the online conference space MS, as will be described later in detail. For this reason, the sound masking speaker 32 may be disposed along the main surface 12P of the second panel 12.

[0030] In this specification, the sound masking sound may refer to a sound that prevents a worker or the like outside the online conference space MS from clearly hearing at least a part of the sound leaking from inside to outside the online conference space MS. For example, the sound masking sound may include white noise having a frequency similar to the voice of the worker. Alternatively, the sound masking sound may include a sound that is less likely to cause stress to a worker outside the online conference space MS, such as an environmental sound or music. In addition, the sound masking sound may include a sound that is only inverted in phase compared to the sound from the online conference space MS, and may cancel at least a part of the sound from the online conference space MS.

[0031] The second panel 12 may be provided with a battery accommodating section 52 capable of accommodating a battery as a power source. The battery accommodating section 52 may have the same configuration as the battery accommodating section 51. In particular, the battery accommodating section 52 may accommodate, for example, a battery for supplying power to the sound masking speaker 32 disposed on the second panel 12.

[0032] <Speaker> The sound masking speaker 32 will now be described in detail together with the online conference speaker 31 with reference to Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a schematic perspective view of each of the online conference speaker 31 and the sound masking speaker 32.

[0033] The online conference speaker 31 includes an output unit P1 that outputs the sound of the online conference, and a housing H1 that forms the outer shape of the online conference speaker 31 and in which the output unit P1 is disposed. The sound output by the output unit P1 may include, for example, the sound of a remote worker participating in the online conference, or sound emitted by an electronic device used in the online conference. The housing H1 may be formed with a circuit (not shown) for converting an electrical signal into sound, and may be formed with a terminal (not shown) for connecting an electronic device such as a microphone to the online conference speaker 31.

[0034] In particular, the online conference speaker 31 may be a directional speaker. For example, the output unit P1 of the online conference speaker 31 may emit sound toward the workers in the online conference space MS. In this case, the panel set 10 including the first panel 11 can more reliably transmit the sound of the online conference to the workers in the online conference space MS. Alternatively, the panel set 10 including the first panel 11 can suppress the sound of the online conference from propagating outside the online conference space MS, improving the confidentiality of the online conference.

[0035] The sound masking speaker 32 includes an output unit P2 that outputs a sound masking sound, and a housing H2 in which the output unit P2 is disposed and which defines the outer shape of the sound masking speaker 32. Except for the fact that the output unit P2 emits the sound masking sound, the output unit P2 and the housing H2 may each have the same configuration as the output unit P1 and the housing H1, respectively.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 7, the housing H1 and the housing H2 may both have a flat-plate shape. In other words, the online conference speaker 31 and the sound masking speaker 32 may have a flat-plate shape. For this reason, by arranging each speaker along the main surface of each panel, it is possible to harmonize the design of each panel with the design of each speaker. For example, the above configuration can prevent a part of the main surface of each panel from protruding along the shape of each speaker, suppressing deterioration of the aesthetics of each panel. On the other hand, as long as the output unit P1 and the output unit P2 are provided in each housing, the outer shapes of the output unit P1 and the output unit P2 are not particularly limited.

[0037] <Third Panel> 6, the third panel 13 may have a substantially flat outer shape, and in particular may have a substantially identical outer shape to the outer shape of the first panel 11 or the second panel 12. For example, the third panel 13 has, among the faces of the flat outer shape, a face facing the online conference space MS as shown in FIG. 3 as a main face 13P. The third panel 13 may have a nonwoven fabric 23 covering a surface including the main face 13P, and the nonwoven fabric 23 may have the same configuration as the nonwoven fabric 21 or the nonwoven fabric 22.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 6, the third panel 13 is provided with a sound-absorbing member 63. The sound-absorbing member 63 has a flat plate shape and is provided along the main surface 13P. The sound-absorbing member 63 absorbs at least the sound in the online conference space MS. The sound-absorbing member 63 may include various sound-absorbing materials including conventionally known sound-absorbing materials, as long as it can absorb at least a part of the sound propagated toward the sound-absorbing member 63. For example, the third panel 13 may be a panel in which the flat sound-absorbing member 63 is directly covered with the nonwoven fabric 23. The sound-absorbing member 63 may absorb at least a part of the sound propagating from the outside to the inside of the online conference space MS, and may be located on the opposite side to the main surface 13P. In this case, the third panel 13 suppresses the sound outside the online conference space MS in the office space WS from propagating into the online conference space MS, improving the comfort of the online conference in the online conference space MS.

[0039] <Panel set supplement> A communication unit having the same configuration as the communication unit 41 may be disposed on the second panel 12 or the third panel 13. Also, for example, a battery housing having the same configuration as the battery housing 51 or the battery housing 52 may be disposed on the third panel 13. The battery housing disposed on the third panel 13 may house a battery for supplying power to electronic devices in the online conference space MS. Furthermore, a sound absorbing member having the same configuration as the sound absorbing member 63 may be disposed on the first panel 11 or the second panel 12. In particular, the first panel 11 may be configured by providing the display 15, the camera unit 16, the online conference speaker 31, the communication unit 41, and the battery housing 51 on a plate-shaped sound absorbing member. Also, the second panel 12 may be configured by providing the sound masking speaker 32 and the battery housing 52 on a plate-shaped sound absorbing member.

[0040] <Panel set arrangement> With reference to FIG. 3, a specific arrangement of the first panel 11, the second panel 12, and the third panel 13 included in the panel set 10 will be described.

[0041] In this embodiment, the panel set 10 may include, for example, one first panel 11, three second panels 12, and two third panels 13.

[0042] For example, the first panel 11 may be arranged so that the main surface 11P faces the online conference space MS. In this case, the first panel 11 can efficiently provide audio and video to the workers in the online conference space MS and capture images of the online conference space MS. Note that, for example, for reasons such as making it easier for workers to enter and exit the online conference space MS, a panel included in the panel set 10 does not need to be arranged on the side of the main surface 11P of the first panel 11.

[0043] Also, one of the second panels 12 may be disposed on the side opposite to the main surface 11P of the first panel 11. In this case, the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 may be disposed such that the back surface opposite to the main surface 11P of the first panel 11 faces the back surface opposite to the main surface 12P of the second panel 12. In other words, the first panel 11 and the second panel may be configured as one body.

[0044] The first panel 11 and the second panel 12, which are configured as two sides of the same body, can transmit the sound of the online conference inside the online conference space MS while propagating the sound masking sound outside the online conference space MS. Therefore, the panel set 10, which includes the first panel 11 and the second panel 12, which are configured as two sides of the same body, efficiently achieves both comfort and confidentiality of the online conference in the online conference space MS.

[0045] For example, the third panels 13 may be disposed on both the left and right ends of the first panel 11 when viewed from the main surface 11P. Also, each of the third panels 13 may be disposed so that the main surface 13P faces the online conference space MS. In this case, the two third panels 13 are disposed so that the main surfaces 13P face each other. This allows the third panels 13 to efficiently absorb sound within the online conference space MS.

[0046] Further, second panels 12 may be disposed on the side opposite to main surface 13P of each of third panels 13. In this case, third panel 13 and second panel 12 may be disposed such that the back surface opposite to main surface 13P of third panel 13 faces the back surface opposite to main surface 12P of second panel 12. In other words, third panel 13 and second panel 12 may be configured as one body.

[0047] The third panel 13 and the second panel 12, which are configured as two sides of the same body, can absorb sounds inside the online conference space MS while transmitting sound masking sounds to the outside of the online conference space MS. Therefore, the panel set 10 including the third panel 13 and the second panel 12, which are configured as two sides of the same body, further improves secrecy in the online conference space MS.

[0048] <Summary of the First Embodiment> The panel set 10 of the online conference space construction system 1 according to this embodiment includes a first panel 11, a second panel 12, and a third panel 13 that can be freely moved within the office space WS by casters 14. This enables the online conference space construction system 1 to partition any location in the office space WS into an online conference space MS by using the panel set 10.

[0049] The first panel 11 can provide the online conference audio, video, etc. to the online conference space MS. The second panel 12 makes the audio in the online conference space MS less audible to workers outside the online conference space MS by propagating a sound masking sound outside the online conference space MS. The third panel 13 absorbs the audio in the online conference space MS, making the audio in the online conference space MS less audible to workers outside the online conference space MS.

[0050] Therefore, the online conference space construction system 1 that constructs the online conference space MS using the panel set 10 equipped with the above-mentioned panels can construct an online conference space MS that is blocked from the surrounding line of sight while suppressing sound leakage. Therefore, the online conference space construction system 1 can give workers in the online conference space MS a sense of security regarding the confidentiality of the meeting contents. In addition, the online conference space construction system 1 can flexibly construct a space MS that realizes comfortable holding of meetings such as online conferences.

[0051] In the present embodiment, the panel set 10 includes the first panel 11, the second panel 12, and the third panel 13. However, the panel set 10 according to the present embodiment is not limited to this.

[0052] For example, the panel set 10 according to the present embodiment may include only the first panel 11 and the second panel 12, or only the first panel 11 and the third panel 13. Even in this case, the panel set 10 can transmit voice and the like to workers in the online conference space MS through the first panel 11, while improving the confidentiality of the online conference through the second panel 12 or the third panel 13.

[0053] Alternatively, for example, the panel set 10 according to the present embodiment may include only the second panel 12 and the third panel 13. Even in this case, the panel set 10 can improve the confidentiality of the online conference by the second panel 12 and the third panel 13. Particularly in this case, the online conference in the online conference space MS may be conducted using electronic devices such as a laptop, a mobile router, etc., which are separately prepared.

[0054] [Embodiment 2] Other embodiments of the present invention will be described below. For ease of explanation, the same reference numerals are given to components having the same functions as those described in the above embodiment, and the description thereof will not be repeated.

[0055] <Panel integrated with chair> 8 is a schematic perspective view showing the online conference space construction system 2 according to this embodiment. The online conference space MS constructed by the online conference space construction system 2 according to this embodiment is also constructed appropriately at any location in the office space WS. In the online conference space MS according to this embodiment, chairs C are placed for use by workers who will participate in the online conference, and a table T or a whiteboard B may also be placed.

[0056] The online conference space construction system 2 includes a panel set 70. The panel set 70 includes a second panel 72 and a third panel 73. In particular, each panel of the panel set 70 according to this embodiment is formed on the back of a chair C, and becomes, for example, a part of the backrest of the chair C. Therefore, when a plurality of chairs C are arranged in the online conference space MS according to this embodiment, the panel set 70 may include the second panel 72 and the third panel 73 formed as a part of the backrest of each chair C. The second panel 72 and the third panel 73 are not limited to being flat, and may have a curved surface on the outer surface according to the shape of the chair C.

[0057] For example, panel set 70 includes second panel 72 and third panel 73 that are integrally formed on both sides. In this case, second panel 72 forms the rear side of the backrest of chair C, and third panel 73 forms part of the front side of the backrest of chair C. In this embodiment, casters or rolling bodies not shown in FIG. 5 may be formed on chair C, and each panel of panel set 70 may be configured to be freely movable in accordance with the movement of chair C.

[0058] The second panel 72 includes a sound masking speaker 32 on the opposite side to the online conference space MS, the sound masking speaker 32 having the same configuration as the sound masking speaker 32 included in the above-described second panel 12. Therefore, the second panel 72 can propagate the sound masking sound to the outside of the online conference space MS.

[0059] The third panel 73 includes, on the online conference space MS side, a sound absorbing member 63 having the same configuration as the above-mentioned sound absorbing member 63. Therefore, the third panel 73 absorbs at least a part of the sound in the online conference space MS by the sound absorbing member 63.

[0060] The sound masking speaker 32 and the sound absorbing member 63 may have a plate-like outer shape in this embodiment as well. On the other hand, the sound masking speaker 32 and the sound absorbing member 63 may be curved to match the shape of the backrest of the chair C in order to achieve better harmony with the shape of the backrest of the chair C.

[0061] The online conference space MS constructed by the online conference space construction system 2 according to this embodiment may be conducted using a laptop, a mobile router, a speaker, or the like separately placed on a table T in the online conference space MS. In this case, as described in the previous embodiment, at least one of the second panel 72 and the third panel 73 may include a battery housing 52 (not shown in FIG. 8 ) housing a battery for supplying power to electronic devices in the online conference space MS. The battery in the battery housing 52 included in the second panel 72 may supply power to the sound masking speaker 32.

[0062] The online conference space construction system 2 according to this embodiment constructs an online conference space MS using a panel set 70 including a second panel 72 and a third panel 73. As a result, for the same reasons as those described in the previous embodiment, the online conference space construction system 2 can construct an online conference space MS in which sound leakage is suppressed while surrounding lines of sight are blocked. Therefore, the online conference space construction system 2 can give workers in the online conference space MS a sense of security regarding the confidentiality of the meeting contents. In addition, the online conference space construction system 2 can flexibly construct an online conference space MS that realizes comfortable holding of meetings such as online conferences.

[0063] In particular, the second panel 72 and the third panel 73 according to this embodiment are formed as part of the backrest of the chair C in the online conference space MS. Therefore, the panel set 70 according to this embodiment can flexibly construct the online conference space MS in the office space WS while maintaining a better harmony with the office space WS.

[0064] Furthermore, the panel set 70 can construct the online meeting space MS only by moving the chair C, reducing the need to separately prepare the second panel 72 and the third panel 73. For this reason, the panel set 70 reduces the labor of workers for constructing the online meeting space MS or the cost for constructing the online meeting space MS.

[0065] Note that at least one of the third panels 73 of the panel set 70 according to the present embodiment may be provided with the online meeting speaker 31 that the first panel 11 has described above. In this case, the online meeting speaker 31 may be a directional speaker that transmits the voice of the online meeting only to the worker sitting on the chair C. Thereby, the panel set 70 surely transmits the voice of the online meeting to the worker sitting on the chair C and reduces the sound leakage to the outside of the online meeting space MS.

[0066] <Contribution to SDGs> The online meeting space construction system according to each embodiment flexibly provides a comfortable meeting environment in the work space. For example, the online meeting space construction system according to each embodiment can easily and casually conduct meetings including web meetings in a shared space such as an open space. Communication such as meetings is the basis of social activities (economic activities), and the online meeting space construction system according to each embodiment contributes to the development of the economy by contributing to the promotion of diverse work styles and the smooth advancement of business activities. Such an effect also contributes to the achievement of, for example, Goal 8, "Decent Work and Economic Growth," of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) advocated by the United Nations.

[0067] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible within the scope shown in the claims.
