Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, an information processing program, and a system. [Background technology]

[0002] When a specific task or work (hereafter simply referred to as a "task") arises, it may be assigned to an employee. Furthermore, the aforementioned task may have a deadline set, and the employee who is assigned the task is expected to complete the task within the deadline.

[0003] To address this issue, a technology has been proposed that reduces delays in deadlines based on task content and delivery dates, and assigns tasks suited to the schedules and skills of each employee without wasting worker resources (see, for example, Patent Document 1).For example, when the system described in Patent Document 1 receives a new task and its desired completion date and time from a task requester, it assigns the task to an employee who meets the conditions based on the time required to perform the task, the required skills, the employee's schedule, etc. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-206092 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, conventional technologies sometimes fail to improve the efficiency of employee task execution. For example, cleaning staff at hotels are prone to making mistakes because their cleaning tasks vary depending on the location and guest room. Furthermore, in order to inform other staff of the cleaning status, the cleaning staff must input the information into a terminal device themselves, which can sometimes hinder smooth communication between the cleaning staff and other staff. The system described in Patent Document 1 does not have the functionality to solve these problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the objectives, the information processing device of the present invention is characterized by having an analysis unit that analyzes voice collected by a voice input device installed in a guest room of an accommodation facility, and an update unit that updates information regarding tasks to be performed in the guest room based on the analysis results by the analysis unit. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] The present invention can improve the efficiency of task performance by employees. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of an information processing device, an information processing method, an information processing program, and a system according to the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0010] [Embodiment] First, an overview of the embodiment will be described. Fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating an overview of a system including an information processing device 10 of the embodiment. For example, as shown in Fig. 1, the system includes the information processing device 10, a voice assistant device 20, a terminal device 30A, and a terminal device 30B, which are connected via a network N.

[0011] The voice assistant device 20 is a computer including a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a CPU (Central Processing Unit), etc. The voice assistant device 20 has a NIC (Network Interface Card) etc. and is capable of communicating with other devices via telecommunication lines such as a LAN (Local Area Network) or the Internet. The voice assistant device 20 also has a voice input device (e.g., a microphone) that accepts voice input and a voice output device (e.g., a speaker) that outputs voice.

[0012] The voice assistant device 20 converts input voice into voice data. That is, the voice assistant device 20 generates voice data based on the voice. Then, the voice assistant device 20 transmits the voice data to the information processing device 10. The voice data is data that expresses voice as a digital signal. Conversely, the voice assistant device 20 can output voice based on the voice data received from the information processing device 10.

[0013] Terminal device 30A is a terminal device used by a cleaner. Terminal device 30B is a terminal device used by an employee other than the cleaner. Hereinafter, terminal device 30A and terminal device 30B are collectively referred to as terminal device 30. Employees use terminal device 30 to update and share information. Terminal device 30 is, for example, a mobile phone, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, etc. Terminal device 30 and voice assistant device 20 are communicably connected via a network N such as the Internet. Note that the number of terminal devices 30 and voice assistant devices 20 installed in the system is not limited to the number shown in FIG. 1.

[0014] The information processing device 10 receives voice data based on the voice input by the cleaner to the voice assistant device 20. The information processing device 10 also converts the received voice data into text data. Next, the information processing device 10 extracts words related to the cleaner's work based on the converted text data, updates the cleaning status, and outputs it to the terminal device 30.

[0015] The method of inputting voice into the information processing device 10 is not limited to the one described here. For example, the information processing device 10 may accept voice input from the terminal device 30. Furthermore, for example, the information processing device 10 may accept text data input from the terminal device 30. In this case, the information processing device 10 can omit the process of converting voice into text data. Note that the following description will mainly be given using as an example a case where an employee inputs voice into a voice assistant device 20 installed in a guest room. Furthermore, the guest room in the embodiment is a hotel guest room. Furthermore, a hotel is an example of an accommodation facility.

[0016] [Configuration example of information processing device] Next, an example of the configuration of the information processing device 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment. As shown in Fig. 2, the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment includes a communication processing unit 11, a control unit 12, and a storage unit 13.

[0017] The communication processing unit 11 controls communication related to various information. For example, the communication processing unit 11 transmits voice data input from the voice assistant device 20 to the control unit 12.

[0018] The memory unit 13 stores data and programs necessary for various processes performed by the control unit 12. The memory unit 13 has a cleaner information memory unit 13a, a guest room information memory unit 13b, a cleaning status memory unit 13c, a request information memory unit 13d, and a lost item information memory unit 13e.

[0019] For example, the storage unit 13 is a semiconductor memory element such as a RAM or a flash memory, or a storage device such as a hard disk or an optical disk.

[0020] Fig. 3 is a diagram showing the cleaner information and guest room information stored in the information processing device 10 of the embodiment. Here, the cleaner information storage unit 13a and the guest room information storage unit 13b are assumed to be a single table as shown in Fig. 3. The cleaner information storage unit 13a and the guest room information storage unit 13b may be separate tables.

[0021] The columns "Cleaner," "Floor," "Guest Room Number," and "Locations with Frequent Errors" in Fig. 3 correspond to the cleaner information storage unit 13a. The columns "Guest Room Number," "Occupancy Status," "Status," and "Consumables Due for Replacement" in Fig. 3 correspond to the guest room information storage unit 13b.

[0022] The cleaning staff information storage unit 13a stores information about cleaning staff. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the cleaning staff information storage unit 13a stores that "Cleaning Staff A" is responsible for cleaning room number "101" on "Floor 1." Furthermore, the cleaning staff information storage unit 13a stores that "Cleaning Staff A" made many mistakes when cleaning "under the bed" based on the results of past cleanings. The cleaning staff information storage unit 13a also stores that "Cleaning Staff B" is responsible for cleaning room number "102" on "Floor 1" and made many mistakes when cleaning the "sink." The cleaning staff information storage unit 13a also stores that "Cleaning Staff C" is responsible for cleaning room number "103" on "Floor 1" and made many mistakes when cleaning the "closet." In this way, by storing the areas where mistakes are common for each cleaning staff, the information processing device 10 is expected to reduce mistakes the next time the cleaning is performed.

[0023] The guest room information storage unit 13b stores information about guest rooms. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the guest room information storage unit 13b stores that the occupancy status of guest room number "101" is "present" and the consumable item due for replacement is "batteries." The guest room information storage unit 13b also stores that the occupancy status of guest room number "102" is "out" and the consumable item due for replacement is "shampoo." The guest room information storage unit 13b also stores that the occupancy status of guest room number "103" is "out" and the consumable item due for replacement is "tissues." In this way, by storing whether or not a guest is present in a guest room, the information processing device 10 can avoid cleaning the room when a guest is present and can replace consumable items when cleaning.

[0024] The cleaning status storage unit 13c stores information about the cleaning status of cleaners. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the cleaning status storage unit 13c stores that the status of "cleaner A" is "VC." The cleaning status storage unit 13c also stores that the status of "cleaner B" is "VDC." The cleaning status storage unit 13c also stores that the status of "cleaner C" is "VC." Here, for example, "VDC" means that cleaning of the guest room has started. Also, for example, "VC" means that cleaning of the guest room has been completed. The status is information that represents the cleaning status of the guest room.

[0025] The request information storage unit 13d stores requests from guests staying in guest rooms. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the request information storage unit 13d stores that the guest in guest room number "105" is "out" and has requested "cleaning." Furthermore, the request information storage unit 13d stores that the guest in guest room number "106" has requested "cleaning" and is "present." Furthermore, the request information storage unit 13d stores that the guest in guest room number "107" has requested "cleaning" and is "present." By referring to the information in the request information storage unit 13d, cleaners can respond to requests from guests when the guests are not in the rooms and perform cleaning efficiently.

[0026] The lost property information storage unit 13e stores items left behind by guests. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the lost property information storage unit 13e stores that a "smartphone" was left behind when "Cleaning Staff G" was cleaning guest room number "108." The lost property information storage unit 13e also stores that a "key" was left behind when "Cleaning Staff H" was cleaning guest room number "109." The lost property information storage unit 13e also stores that a "battery" was left behind when "Cleaning Staff I" was cleaning guest room number "110." By storing the items left behind by guests, the information processing device 10 can easily communicate this to other staff members.

[0027] The data stored in the storage unit 13 can be updated as needed. That is, data stored in the storage unit 13 can be added, changed, or deleted as needed in accordance with the input voice data. The data stored in the storage unit 13 may be stored in a database external to the information processing device 10.

[0028] 2, the control unit 12 of the information processing device 10 will now be described. The control unit 12 has an internal memory for storing programs that define various processing procedures and required data, and executes various processes using these. Here, the control unit 12 is, for example, an electronic circuit such as a CPU or an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), or an integrated circuit such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).

[0029] The control unit 12 includes a receiving unit 12a, an analyzing unit 12b, an updating unit 12e, and an output unit 12f. The analyzing unit 12b includes a converting unit 12c and an extracting unit 12d.

[0030] The reception unit 12a receives voice data as input. For example, the reception unit 12a receives voice data of a cleaner, such as "I'm going to start cleaning now" or "This completes the cleaning." The reception unit 12a may also receive voice data of questions from a cleaner. For example, the reception unit 12a receives voice data such as "Are there any areas to check when cleaning this guest room?" or "Are there any requests from the guest?" Note that the voice data of "Are there any areas to check when cleaning this guest room?" may be received when an inspector (e.g., an employee equivalent to a manager of the cleaner) checks the cleaning status of the guest room after the cleaner has completed cleaning. Furthermore, for example, the voice data of "Are there any requests from the guest?" may trigger the information processing device 10 to output pre-assignment information, which will be described later.

[0031] Here, the voice data of a person (such as a cleaner) refers to voice data based on the voice uttered by the person. For example, the voice data of a cleaner saying, "This concludes cleaning," is synonymous with the voice data generated by the voice assistant device 20 based on the voice of the cleaner saying, "This concludes cleaning."

[0032] The reception unit 12a also receives voice data related to cleaning requests from guests staying in guest rooms. For example, the reception unit 12a receives as input voice data from a guest saying, "I want my room cleaned while I'm out." The reception unit 12a also reads out requests (pre-assignment information) made in advance by the guest from the storage unit and receives the data as input. For example, the pre-assignment information includes whether an extra bed is required and its size, pillow preferences (whether the default pillow needs to be replaced), etc. The reception unit 12a may receive data entered by an employee or data entered in advance by the guest into a hotel reservation system or the like as pre-assignment information.

[0033] Here, an example of a conversation between a cleaner and the voice assistant device 20 will be described with reference to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 shows an example of an exchange between a cleaner and the voice assistant device 20 installed in a guest room. First, the voice assistant device 20 receives a voice input from the cleaner saying, "I'm going to start cleaning now" (step S51). Then, when the cleaner has finished cleaning, the voice assistant device 20 receives a voice input saying, "Cleaning is finished" (step S52).

[0034] Next, the voice assistant device 20 outputs a voice message to the cleaner saying, "Please check under the bed" (step S53). This is to check areas where mistakes are common depending on the cleaner or the guest room. The voice assistant device 20 can also output a voice message saying, "Please check under the bed" to employees other than the cleaner. This is because other employees (e.g., inspectors) will check the guest rooms again after the cleaner has finished cleaning. Then, the voice assistant device 20 receives a voice message from the cleaner saying, "Cleaning under the bed is finished" (step S54).

[0035] Next, the voice assistant device 20 outputs a voice message to the cleaner saying, "It's time to replace the batteries in the remote control" (step S55). This is to inform the cleaner that it is time to replace the consumables in the guest room.

[0036] Then, when the cleaner inputs voice messages such as "The batteries in the remote control have been replaced" and "Cleaning is complete" into the voice assistant device 20 (steps S56 and S57), the voice assistant device 20 accepts the voice input from the cleaner and communicates to the information processing device 10 that cleaning of the guest room has been completed.

[0037] The analysis unit 12b analyzes the voice collected by a voice input device installed in the guest room of the accommodation facility. For example, the analysis unit 12b analyzes the voice data received by the reception unit 12a. Here, the analysis unit 12b analyzes the voice using the conversion unit 12c and the extraction unit 12d.

[0038] The conversion unit 12c converts the voice data received by the reception unit 12a into text data. Note that any method may be used to convert voice data into text data, and an existing method is used.

[0039] The extraction unit 12d extracts specific words from the text data converted by the conversion unit 12c based on the text data. For example, the extraction unit 12d extracts, as specific words, words related to the work of employees and words related to requests or demands from guests to employees. As a specific example, if the text data converted by the conversion unit 12c is "I'm going to start cleaning now," the extraction unit 12d extracts "now," "cleaning," and "start" as specific words for employees. Also, if the converted text data is "I'd like my room cleaned while I'm out," the extraction unit 12d extracts "while I'm out," "room," and "cleaning" as specific words for guests.

[0040] The update unit 12e updates information about tasks to be performed for guest rooms based on the analysis results by the analysis unit 12b. For example, the update unit 12e updates the status of the task based on the specific words extracted by the extraction unit 12d. Also, for example, when an item is left behind in a guest room, the update unit 12e inputs voice data indicating that the item has been left behind in the guest room, extracts words related to the lost item as the specific words, and updates the status of the task based on the extracted specific words.

[0041] For example, if the specific words extracted by the extraction unit 12d are "from now," "cleaning," or "start," the update unit 12e updates the status in the cleaning status memory unit 13c from "VC," which means not yet cleaned, to "VDC," which means cleaning has started.

[0042] Furthermore, for example, if the specific words extracted by the extraction unit 12d are "guest room number 108," "lost item," and "smartphone," the update unit 12e adds information indicating that "smartphone" is the lost item to the lost item information storage unit 13e.

[0043] The processing of the analysis unit 12b is not limited to that described here, and may be any processing that outputs information that can be interpreted by the update unit 12e based on the voice data. For example, the analysis unit 12b may be realized by a machine learning model. In this case, the machine learning model performs a voice recognition task, a text analysis task, etc.

[0044] Here, updating of the guest room status will be explained using Figs. 7 to 9. The correspondence between the guest rooms and the status is acquired from the cleaning status storage unit 13c. First, a screen 50 in Fig. 7 is a guest room status screen displayed on the terminal device 30. An area 51 in Fig. 7 displays a list of the status of the guest rooms on each floor. An area 52 displays objects such as buttons for operating the screen and statistical information related to the guest rooms.

[0045] 7, area 52 displays the number of guest rooms for each status. For example, area 52 displays that the number of guest rooms with a status of "VDC" is "1." Also, for example, area 52 displays that the number of guest rooms with a status of "VC" is "161."

[0046] The meaning of each status is as shown in Figure 8. Figure 8 is a diagram showing an example of the status of a guest room in an embodiment. As shown in Figure 8, for example, the status "VDC" means that cleaning of the guest room has started. Also, for example, the status "VC" means that cleaning of the guest room has been completed.

[0047] Furthermore, each status may be displayed in a different color. In Fig. 8, only "VDC" and "VC" are color-coded, but other statuses may also be displayed in a different color. Furthermore, the text for each status is not limited to the example shown in Fig. 8, and the text for each status can be changed, added, or deleted.

[0048] Next, an example of the status of an entire floor in an embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 9. FIG. 9 is a diagram displaying the status of all guest rooms on an entire floor. For example, a cleaner uses the terminal device 30 to select one guest room from the entire floor and check the status of the selected guest room. In FIG. 9, as an example of the display, the terminal device 30 displays the following information: "Floor 5F," "Guest room number 511," "Indicator lamp is on," "Guest room status is VDC," "Door opening / closing detected," and "Connecting room." Employees can efficiently perform tasks by using the terminal device 30 to check the above information and the like while performing the tasks.

[0049] The output unit 12f outputs the status updated by the update unit 12e to the employee terminal device 30. For example, the output unit 12f outputs, as voice data, the areas to be checked for cleaning according to the guest room. Also, for example, the output unit 12f references the status updated by the update unit 12e and outputs the areas to be checked for work according to the employee. Also, for example, the output unit 12f outputs the status of the guest rooms on each floor to the employee terminal device 30. Also, for example, when it is time to replace consumables installed in the guest rooms, the output unit 12f outputs this to the employee as voice data.

[0050] Furthermore, the output unit 12f reads out information about consumables set in the guest room from the guest room information stored in the guest room information storage unit 13b, and when the consumables need to be replaced, outputs a message to the terminal device 30 or the voice assistant device 20. For example, the output unit 12f reads out information about the consumable "battery" that needs to be replaced for guest room number "101" stored in the guest room information storage unit 13b, and the voice assistant device 20 outputs a voice instruction to the cleaning staff to replace the "battery."

[0051] Furthermore, the output unit 12f can issue instructions to a cleaner or an inspector by outputting the pre-assignment information as voice data from the voice assistant device 20.

[0052] For example, when the output unit 12f receives voice data uttered by a cleaner saying, "Do you have any requests from the guests?", it may output the pre-assignment information of the guest as voice from the voice assistant device 20. Furthermore, when the status of a guest room changes to "VDC," that is, when cleaning has started, the output unit 12f may automatically output the pre-assignment information of the guest staying in that guest room.

[0053] Furthermore, after the status of the guest room changes to "VC," that is, after the cleaning staff has completed cleaning, when the output unit 12f receives voice data uttered by the inspector to confirm areas that should be checked, the output unit 12f acquires areas where the in-charge cleaner often makes mistakes from the cleaner information storage unit 13a and outputs the voice data. For example, in the guest room that was cleaned by "cleaner A" shown in FIG. 3, when voice data uttered by the inspector saying "Are there any areas that should be checked when cleaning this guest room?" is received, the output unit 12f outputs voice data saying "Please check under the bed."

[0054] Here, an overview of the entire information processing system will be described with reference to Fig. 10. As illustrated in Fig. 10, first, a cleaner inputs a voice message to the voice assistant device 20 saying, "I will start cleaning now" (step S1).

[0055] Next, the information processing device 10 receives the voice data transmitted from the voice assistant device 20 (step S2). Next, the information processing device 10 converts the received voice data into text data (step S3). Then, the information processing device 10 extracts words related to the cleaning staff's work from the converted text data (step S4).

[0056] Next, the information processing device 10 updates the status based on the extracted words, and outputs the updated status to the terminal devices 30 of the cleaners and other employees (step S5).

[0057] Next, the information processing device 10 reads out the check points for each guest room or cleaning staff member based on the information stored in the storage unit 13 (step S6). Next, the information processing device 10 notifies the voice assistant device 20 of the data on the check points (step S7). Then, the voice assistant device 20 outputs the check points to the cleaning staff member as voice (step S8).

[0058] [Processing procedure of information processing device] Next, an example of a processing procedure by the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 11. Fig. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of a processing flow in the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment. Note that the following description of Fig. 11 will be given taking an example of an interaction between a cleaner and the voice assistant device 20.

[0059] 11, the information processing device 10 inputs the voice spoken by the cleaner to the voice assistant device 20, and upon receiving the voice data (step S101, Yes), converts the voice data into text data (step S102). On the other hand, if the voice assistant device 20 has not received the voice spoken by the cleaner (step S101, No), the information processing device 10 waits until the voice is received.

[0060] Then, the information processing device 10 extracts specific words from the converted text data (step S103). As a result, the information processing device 10 updates the task status displayed on the terminal device 30 (step S104), outputs the updated task status to the terminal device 30 (step S105), and ends the process.

[0061] [Effects of the embodiment] In this way, in this embodiment, input voice data is accepted, converted into text data, specific words are extracted from the converted text data, and the status of the task is changed based on the extracted specific words, and output to the terminal device 30 and the voice assistant device 20.

[0062] As a result, in this embodiment, the cleaner inputs information about the task as voice data, which reduces the burden on the cleaner of inputting the guest room status into the terminal device 30 himself, and facilitates communication with other employees. Also, in this embodiment, the guest room status can be shared by all employees, including the cleaner, using the terminal device 30, allowing for efficient cleaning and task execution.

[0063] In this embodiment, requests from guests can also be input and accepted as voice data, so that staff can confirm and share requests and demands from guests using the terminal device 30, and easily carry out tasks in response to the requests and demands.

[0064] In addition, in this embodiment, the status can be changed depending on the guest room, so for example, if an item is left behind in a guest room, the information can be input as voice and other employees can be quickly notified via the terminal device 30.

[0065] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the status of the guest rooms can be checked as a list using the terminal device 30, which reduces the burden on staff.

[0066] [System configuration, etc.] Furthermore, the components of each device shown in the figure are conceptual functional units and do not necessarily have to be physically configured as shown. In other words, the specific form of distribution and integration of each device is not limited to that shown, and all or part of each device can be functionally or physically distributed and integrated in any unit depending on various loads and usage conditions. Furthermore, all or any part of the processing functions performed by each device can be realized by a CPU and a program analyzed and executed by the CPU, or can be realized as hardware using wired logic.

[0067] Furthermore, among the processes described in this embodiment, all or part of the processes described as being performed automatically can be performed manually, or all or part of the processes described as being performed manually can be performed automatically using a known method.In addition, the information including the processing procedures, control procedures, specific names, various data and parameters shown in the above documents and drawings can be changed as desired unless otherwise specified.

[0068] [program] Furthermore, the information processing system can be implemented by installing a program that realizes the functions of the information processing system described in the above embodiments into a desired information processing device (computer). For example, the information processing device can function as an information processing system by executing the program provided as package software or online software on the information processing device. The information processing device referred to here includes desktop or notebook personal computers, rack-mounted server computers, and the like. Furthermore, the information processing device also includes mobile communication terminals such as smartphones, mobile phones, and PHS (Personal Handyphone Systems), as well as PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants). The information processing system may also be implemented on a cloud server.

[0069] An example of a computer that executes the above program (information processing program) will be described with reference to Fig. 12. As shown in Fig. 12, a computer 1000 includes, for example, a memory 1010, a CPU 1020, a hard disk drive interface 1030, a disk drive interface 1040, a serial port interface 1050, a video adapter 1060, and a network interface 1070. These components are connected by a bus 1080.

[0070] The memory 1010 includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) 1011 and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 1012. The ROM 1011 stores, for example, a boot program such as a BIOS (Basic Input Output System). The hard disk drive interface 1030 is connected to a hard disk drive 1090. The disk drive interface 1040 is connected to a disk drive 1100. A removable storage medium such as a magnetic disk or optical disk is inserted into the disk drive 1100. The serial port interface 1050 is connected to, for example, a mouse 1110 and a keyboard 1120.
