[0025] 2 is an example, and does not necessarily include all of the components shown in Fig. 2, or may include other components. Also, the information terminal 30 may be, for example, one that conforms to the hardware configuration shown in Fig. 2.

[0026] (Configuration and operation of functional blocks of information processing systems) FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of functional blocks of an information processing system according to an embodiment. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of measurement data of a solar cell-equipped sensor of the information processing system according to an embodiment. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of plot data of illuminance measured by a solar cell-equipped sensor of the information processing system according to an embodiment. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of maximum output characteristics of a solar cell-equipped sensor of the information processing system according to an embodiment. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of plot data of maximum output of a solar cell-equipped sensor of the information processing system according to an embodiment. FIGS. 8 to 10 are diagrams showing examples of application screens displayed on an information terminal of the information processing system according to an embodiment. The configuration and operation of functional blocks of an information processing system 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 10.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 3, the management server 10 includes a communication unit 101, an acquisition unit 102, a power generation amount calculation unit 103 (first calculation unit), a condition calculation unit 104 (second calculation unit), a display control unit 105 (transmission unit), an operation time estimation unit 106 (estimation unit), a setting unit 107, and a memory unit 108.

[0028] The communication unit 101 is a functional unit that performs data communication with the parent repeater 23 and the information terminal 30 via the network N. The communication unit 101 is realized by the network I / F 509 and the CPU 501 shown in FIG.

[0029] The acquisition unit 102 is a functional unit that acquires measurement data measured by the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 via the communication unit 101, via the slave repeater 22 and the master repeater 23. The acquisition unit 102 stores the acquired measurement data in the memory unit 108.

[0030] 4 shows an example of temperature, humidity, illuminance, air pressure, and voltage as measurement data measured at one-hour intervals by the solar-cell-mounted sensor 21. Among these, data obtained by plotting illuminance [lx] data for each measurement interval is shown in FIG.

[0031] 6 shows the characteristics of maximum output Pmax [μW], which is the power generated under certain conditions, such as when a white LED is irradiated, in solar-cell-equipped sensor 21. That is, the characteristics of maximum output Pmax are expressed by data showing the correlation between the illuminance when a white LED is irradiated, for example, and maximum output Pmax, as shown in FIG. 6. The characteristic data of maximum output Pmax is stored in advance in storage unit 108.

[0032] The power generation amount calculation unit 103 is a functional unit that calculates the amount of power generated by the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 based on the measurement data acquired by the acquisition unit 102. Here, the power generation amount calculation unit 103 is described as calculating the amount of power generated in, for example, one day. Specifically, the power generation amount calculation unit 103 refers to the characteristic data of the maximum output Pmax stored in the storage unit 108, and calculates time-series data of the maximum output Pmax as shown in FIG. 7 from the time-series data of illuminance as measurement data acquired by the acquisition unit 102 and the characteristic data. This is because the maximum output Pmax at any illuminance can be calculated from the characteristic data of the maximum output Pmax shown in FIG. 6, and the illuminance on the vertical axis in FIG. 5 can be associated with the maximum output Pmax. Furthermore, the power generation amount calculation unit 103 can calculate the amount of power generated in one day [Wh] by integrating the maximum output Pmax over a one-day period in the time-series data of the maximum output Pmax shown in FIG. 7. Furthermore, the power generation amount calculation unit 103 stores the calculated amount of power generation for one day in the storage unit 108, and calculates the average value of the amount of power generation for one day for a predetermined period.

[0033] Although the power generation amount calculation unit 103 is assumed to calculate the power generation amount for one day, this is not limited to this, and the power generation amount for other periods may be calculated, the accumulated power generation amount may be accumulated, and the average value of the power generation amount may be calculated.

[0034] The condition calculation unit 104 is a functional unit that calculates measurement conditions for the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 such that the daily power consumption of the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 is smaller than the daily power generation (average value) calculated by the power generation amount calculation unit 103. Here, the measurement conditions refer to, for example, conditions regarding the measurement interval of the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21, the number of parameters to be measured (e.g., temperature, humidity, illuminance, atmospheric pressure, voltage of the lithium-ion battery 21a, etc.), and measurement sensitivity, such that the daily power consumption of the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 is smaller than the daily power generation (average value) calculated by the power generation amount calculation unit 103. The longer the measurement interval of the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21, the fewer the number of parameters, and the lower the measurement sensitivity, the smaller the power consumption of the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21. Therefore, specifically, the condition calculation unit 104 calculates a lower limit of the measurement interval, an upper limit of the number of parameters, and an upper limit of the measurement sensitivity as measurement conditions such that the daily power consumption of the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 is smaller than the daily power generation (average value) calculated by the power generation amount calculation unit 103. Furthermore, the measurement interval, number of parameters, and measurement sensitivity of solar-cell sensor 21 can be arbitrarily set by the user via information terminal 30, so condition calculation unit 104 calculates the above-mentioned measurement conditions according to the settings made by the user. By setting the measurement interval, number of parameters, and measurement sensitivity so as to satisfy such measurement conditions, the daily power consumption of solar-cell sensor 21 can be made smaller than the amount of power generated in a day (average value), thereby eliminating the need to charge lithium-ion battery 21a of solar-cell sensor 21.

[0035] The measurement conditions may be conditions regarding at least one of the measurement interval, the number of parameters to be measured, and the measurement sensitivity. Furthermore, the measurement conditions are not limited to the conditions regarding the measurement interval, the number of parameters to be measured, and the measurement sensitivity, and may be conditions that replace or add to these.

[0036] The display control unit 105 is a functional unit that performs data communication with the Web application 301 of the information terminal 30 via the communication unit 101 and controls various screens and data displayed on the information terminal 30 .

[0037] For example, in response to a display operation on the information terminal 30, the display control unit 105 displays an application screen 1000 shown in Fig. 8 via the Web application 301 of the information terminal 30. The application screen 1000 is a screen that displays measurement data (e.g., illuminance) measured by the acquisition unit 102, the amount of power generation in one day (e.g., the amount of power generation on the previous day, an average value, etc.) calculated by the power generation amount calculation unit 103, and the measurement conditions calculated by the condition calculation unit 104. The application screen 1000 shown in Fig. 8 includes a setting selection list box 1001 and a measurement interval condition display area 1011.

[0038] The setting selection list box 1001 is a list box for the user to select the setting to be made from the measurement interval, the number of parameters, and the measurement sensitivity. The example shown in FIG. 8 shows a state in which the measurement interval has been selected from the setting selection list box 1001. In this case, the display control unit 105 displays the lower limit value of the measurement interval, which is one of the measurement conditions calculated by the condition calculation unit 104, in the measurement interval condition display area 1011 on the application screen 1000. This allows the user to confirm the lower limit value of the measurement interval as a measurement condition on the application screen 1000. If the user sets the measurement interval to a value greater than the lower limit value of the measurement interval displayed in the measurement interval condition display area 1011, the daily power consumption of the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 can be made smaller than the daily power generation amount (average value).

[0039] Here, if the lower limit value of the measurement interval calculated by condition calculation unit 104 is a large value, such as 20 hours, and it is not practical to set a measurement interval larger than this, another item can be selected in setting selection list box 1001. In this case, when the number of parameters is selected in setting selection list box 1001, display control unit 105 displays application screen 1000 as shown in Fig. 9. Application screen 1000 shown in Fig. 9 includes setting selection list box 1001, measurement interval setting area 1021, unit selection list box 1002, and parameter condition display area 1012.

[0040] The measurement interval setting area 1021 is an area where the user can set any measurement interval. The unit selection list box 1002 is a list box for selecting the unit of the measurement interval set in the measurement interval setting area 1021.

[0041] The parameter condition display area 1012 is a display area that displays the upper limit of the number of parameters among the measurement conditions calculated by the condition calculation unit 104. For example, when a measurement interval is input in the measurement interval setting area 1021, the condition calculation unit 104 recalculates, using the measurement interval input in the measurement interval setting area 1021, the upper limit of the number of parameters as a measurement condition such that the daily power consumption of the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 is smaller than the daily power generation amount (average value) calculated by the power generation amount calculation unit 103. The display control unit 105 then displays the upper limit of the number of parameters in the parameter condition display area 1012. This allows the user to confirm the upper limit of the number of parameters as a measurement condition on the application screen 1000. Then, by setting the number of parameters to be equal to or smaller than the upper limit of the number of parameters displayed in the parameter condition display area 1012, the user can make the daily power consumption of the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 smaller than the daily power generation amount (average value). In this case, it is desirable to include illuminance as a parameter to calculate the power generation amount of the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21.

[0042] Here, if the upper limit value of the number of parameters calculated by the condition calculation unit 104 is smaller than the number of parameters the user desires to measure, the measurement sensitivity can be selected in the setting selection list box 1001. In this case, when the measurement sensitivity is selected in the setting selection list box 1001, the display control unit 105 displays an application screen 1000 as shown in Fig. 10. The application screen 1000 shown in Fig. 10 includes the setting selection list box 1001, a measurement interval setting area 1021, a unit selection list box 1002, a parameter setting area 1022, and a measurement sensitivity condition display area 1013.

[0043] The parameter setting area 1022 is an area where the user can arbitrarily set the number of parameters.

[0044] The measurement sensitivity condition display area 1013 is a display area that displays the upper limit of the measurement sensitivity among the measurement conditions calculated by the condition calculation unit 104. For example, when a measurement interval is input into the measurement interval setting area 1021 and the number of parameters is input into the parameter setting area 1022, the condition calculation unit 104 recalculates the upper limit of the measurement sensitivity as a measurement condition such that the daily power consumption of the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 is smaller than the daily power generation (average value) calculated by the power generation amount calculation unit 103, using the measurement interval input into the measurement interval setting area 1021 and the number of parameters input into the parameter setting area 1022, and the display control unit 105 displays the upper limit of the measurement sensitivity in the measurement sensitivity condition display area 1013. Here, the measurement sensitivity may be displayed as a value ranging from 1 to 10, for example. This allows the user to check the upper limit of the measurement sensitivity as a measurement condition on the application screen 1000. Then, if the user sets the measurement sensitivity to a value smaller than the upper limit of the measurement sensitivity displayed in the measurement sensitivity condition display area 1013, the daily power consumption of the solar cell-equipped sensor 21 can be made smaller than the amount of power generated in a day (average value).

[0045] The operating time estimation unit 106 is a functional unit that, when the settings (measurement interval, number of parameters, and measurement sensitivity) for the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 set by the setting unit 107 in response to the user's setting operation in the Web application 301 do not satisfy the measurement conditions calculated by the condition calculation unit 104, estimates the operable time of the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 based on the settings. Specifically, the operating time estimation unit 106 calculates the power consumption per hour of the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 based on the settings (measurement interval, number of parameters, and measurement sensitivity) by the setting unit 107. Then, the operating time estimation unit 106 calculates the operable time of the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 using the amount of power generation per day calculated by the power generation amount calculation unit 103, the remaining capacity of the lithium-ion battery 21a, and the calculated hourly power consumption of the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 according to the following formula (1):

[0046]

number

[0047] Then, the display control unit 105 may cause the information terminal 30 (for example, the application screen 1000) to display the available operation time of the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 estimated by the operation time estimation unit .

[0048] As described above, the setting unit 107 is a functional unit that sets the measurement interval, the number of parameters, and the measurement sensitivity in accordance with the user's setting operation on the application screen 1000. Specifically, the setting unit 107 stores the measurement interval, the number of parameters, and the measurement sensitivity input by the setting operation in the storage unit 108, and sets the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 via the communication unit 101 to perform measurement at the measurement interval, the number of parameters, and the measurement sensitivity.

[0049] The above-mentioned acquisition unit 102, power generation amount calculation unit 103, condition calculation unit 104, display control unit 105, operation time estimation unit 106, and setting unit 107 are realized by, for example, executing a program by the CPU 501 shown in Fig. 2. Note that at least some of the acquisition unit 102, power generation amount calculation unit 103, condition calculation unit 104, display control unit 105, operation time estimation unit 106, and setting unit 107 may be realized by a hardware circuit such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit).

[0050] The storage unit 108 is a functional unit that stores the measurement data acquired by the acquisition unit 102, characteristic data of the maximum output Pmax, and data such as the measurement interval, the number of parameters, and measurement sensitivity set by the setting unit 107. The storage unit 108 is realized by the auxiliary storage device 505 shown in FIG. 2.

[0051] Note that the functional units of the management server 10 shown in Fig. 3 are conceptual representations of functions, and are not limited to such a configuration. For example, the multiple functional units illustrated as independent functional units in the management server 10 shown in Fig. 3 may be configured as a single functional unit. On the other hand, the function of a single functional unit in the management server 10 shown in Fig. 3 may be divided into multiple units and configured as multiple functional units. Furthermore, the functional units of the management server 10 do not need to be configured as distinct software modules as shown in Fig. 3; it is sufficient that the functions of the functional units as a whole are realized by executing a program on the management server 10.

[0052] (Operational flow of information processing system) 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of operations of the information processing system according to the embodiment. The flow of operations of the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0053] <Step S11> The acquisition unit 102 of the management server 10 acquires the measurement data measured by the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 via the communication unit 101, via the slave repeater 22 and the master repeater 23. The acquisition unit 102 stores the acquired measurement data in the memory unit 108. Then, the process proceeds to step S12.

[0054] <Step S12> The power generation amount calculation unit 103 of the management server 10 refers to the characteristic data of the maximum output Pmax stored in the memory unit 108, and calculates the time series data of the maximum output Pmax as shown in FIG. 7 from the time series data of illuminance as measurement data acquired by the acquisition unit 102 and the characteristic data. Furthermore, the power generation amount calculation unit 103 calculates the daily power generation amount [Wh] by integrating the maximum output Pmax in the time series data of the maximum output Pmax over a period of one day. Furthermore, the power generation amount calculation unit 103 stores the calculated daily power generation amount in the memory unit 108 and calculates the average power generation amount for that day. Then, the process proceeds to step S13.

[0055] <Step S13> The condition calculation unit 104 of the management server 10 calculates measurement conditions for the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 such that the daily power consumption of the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 is smaller than the daily power generation (average value) calculated by the power generation amount calculation unit 103. Specifically, the condition calculation unit 104 calculates a lower limit value for the measurement interval, an upper limit value for the number of parameters, and an upper limit value for the measurement sensitivity as measurement conditions such that the daily power consumption of the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 is smaller than the daily power generation (average value) calculated by the power generation amount calculation unit 103. Then, the process proceeds to step S14.

[0056] <Step S14> The display control unit 105 of the management server 10 transmits the measurement data (e.g., illuminance) measured by the acquisition unit 102, the amount of power generated in one day (e.g., the amount of power generated on the previous day, an average value, etc.) calculated by the power generation amount calculation unit 103, and the measurement conditions calculated by the condition calculation unit 104 to the information terminal 30 via the communication unit 101, and displays them on the application screen 1000. The application screen 1000 is as described above with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10. Then, the process proceeds to step S15.

[0057] <Step S15> If a setting value is input in the measurement interval setting area 1021 or the parameter setting area 1022 or the like on the application screen 1000 (step S15: Yes), the process returns to step S13. If, for example, a new setting value is not input and the setting is confirmed by pressing the confirm button or the like (step S15: No), the setting unit 107 sets the input measurement interval, the number of parameters, and the measurement sensitivity, and ends the operation. If the process returns to step S13, the condition calculation unit 104 recalculates, using the setting values input in the measurement interval setting area 1021 or the parameter setting area 1022 or the like, measurement conditions such that the daily power consumption of the solar-cell-equipped sensor 21 is smaller than the daily power generation amount (average value) calculated by the power generation amount calculation unit 103.

[0058] The operation of the information processing system 1 is executed according to the flow of steps S11 to S15 described above.

[0059] As described above, in the information processing system 1 according to this embodiment, the acquisition unit 102 acquires measurement data measured by the solar-cell sensor 21, the power generation amount calculation unit 103 calculates the power generation amount of the solar-cell sensor 21 based on the measurement data acquired by the acquisition unit 102, the condition calculation unit 104 calculates measurement conditions for the solar-cell sensor 21 such that the power consumption of the solar-cell sensor 21 is smaller than the power generation amount calculated by the power generation amount calculation unit 103, and the display control unit 105 transmits the measurement conditions calculated by the condition calculation unit 104 to the information terminal 30 to display them on the information terminal 30. Therefore, it is possible to calculate measurement conditions for measurement without moving the solar-cell sensor 21 to a place exposed to light and charging the solar-cell sensor 21. Furthermore, because the user can confirm the measurement conditions such that the power consumption of the solar-cell sensor 21 is smaller than the power generation amount, it is possible to eliminate the need to move the solar-cell sensor 21 to a place exposed to light and charge it.
