[0009] An analysis device 2500 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an overview of the analysis device 2500. The analysis device 2500 includes a calculation device 2100 and a storage device 2300. The calculation device 2100 includes an area evaluation information output means 2101, a chart output means 2103, and a map output means 2105. The storage device 2300 stores facility information 2301, location information 2303, demographic information 2305, lifestyle information 2307, employment information by occupation 2309, and area evaluation information 2311. The analysis device 2500 is connected to a user terminal 3000. The analysis device 2500 may be configured as a server.

[0010] The analysis device 2500 of this embodiment includes an area evaluation information output means 2101 that outputs area evaluation information 2311 indicating an evaluation of a predetermined area based on location information 2303 relating to at least the location included in the predetermined area.

[0011] A predetermined region (a region) refers to, for example, a region such as a 500m mesh. Place information 2303 refers to, for example, information on stores located in a building, information on fishing grounds included in the water area, etc. Store information refers to, for example, information on medical departments located in a hospital building, information on convenience stores, etc. Region evaluation information 2311 refers to, for example, evaluation information in 500m / 62.5m mesh units (e.g., evaluation information in mesh units that includes Tokyo Station A, evaluation information in mesh units that includes Tokyo Station B), etc.

[0012] The analysis device 2500 of this embodiment can use the area evaluation information 2311 to perform an analysis based on the properties of the facilities and places included in the area.

[0013] The characteristics of facilities and locations include, for example, the ability of commercial buildings to attract customers, the economic impact of roadside stations converted from abandoned schools, utilization rate of total floor space, information on residential occupancy rates, the status of residential / commercial use, the state of road maintenance, building density, the ability of internal medicine clinics to attract customers, information on what the town is like overall, real estate values, etc.

[0014] (Analysis using facility information) The area evaluation information output means 2101 may utilize information related to facilities to output area evaluation information 2311. Specifically, the area evaluation information output means 2101 may output area evaluation information 2311 further based on facility information 2301 related to predetermined facilities that are included in and related to a predetermined area.

[0015] The predetermined facilities related to the predetermined location are, for example, buildings, roads, railways, buses, airports, bodies of water, etc. The facility information 2301 is, for example, location information of the facility, boundary information of buildings, roads, bodies of water, etc., information on the total floor area of ​​the building, information on the number of rooms in the building, information on the number of floors in the building, information on the width of the road, information on the elevation difference of the bus route, etc.

[0016] By analyzing the area evaluation information 2311 using information about the facility, it becomes easy to analyze the area in relation to a specific facility, such as analyzing the effect of building a commercial building.

[0017] (Analysis using demographic information and lifestyle information) The area evaluation information output means 2101 may analyze the area evaluation information 2311 by utilizing the demographic information 2305 and the lifestyle information 2307. Specifically, the area evaluation information output means 2101 may output the area evaluation information 2311 at a predetermined time based on predetermined demographic information 2305 including at least information on the number of people located in a predetermined area at a predetermined time and predetermined lifestyle information 2307 including at least information related to people's lifestyles, while taking into consideration the relationship between the predetermined lifestyle information 2307 and the location information 2303.

[0018] A predetermined time (a time) refers to, for example, 1-hour units. A predetermined region (a region) refers to, for example, 500-meter mesh units. Demographic information 2305 refers to, for example, Docomo's mobile spatial statistics information. Life information 2307 refers to, for example, life information by region, age and gender, and 15-minute units. The life information 2307 can be obtained, for example, from 20 types of behavior classified in the "Basic Survey on Social Life" conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. The relationship between the life information 2307 and the location information 2303 refers to, for example, relationships such as whether doctors and nurses work in hospital facilities, farmers work in farmland, fishermen work in fishing grounds, or whether housewives raise children or pensioners live in homes.

[0019] By analyzing the area evaluation information 2311 using the demographic information 2305 and lifestyle information 2307, a more precise evaluation of the area can be made.

[0020] (Analysis using employment information by occupation) The area evaluation information output means 2101 may analyze the area evaluation information 2311 by utilizing the employment information by occupation 2309. Specifically, the predetermined living information 2307 may further include the predetermined employment information by occupation 2309, and the area evaluation information output means 2101 may further output the area evaluation information 2311 based on the employment information by occupation 2309. The employment information by occupation 2309 is information including, for example, age and sex units, employment ratios by occupation, etc.

[0021] By utilizing the employment information by occupation 2309 and analyzing the domain evaluation information 2311, it is possible to make more precise estimates regarding employment, which is an important part of people's lives.

[0022] (Area evaluation information output mode) The following describes how to output the created area evaluation information 2311. The area evaluation information 2311 can be output in various modes. (OUTPUT A: Output as a chart) The analysis device 2500 may include a chart output means 2103. The chart output means 2103 may output, for example, the area evaluation information 2311 at a predetermined time as a chart showing the ratio by number of people. By outputting the area evaluation information 2311 as a chart, the area evaluation information 2311 can be more easily understood.

[0023] (OUTPUT B: Output as a map) The analysis device may include map output means 2105 that functions as map output means. The map output means 2105 may, for example, output area evaluation information 2311 on a map at a predetermined time, with the proportion of people associated with the location. By outputting the area evaluation information 2311 as a map, the area evaluation information 2311 can be more easily understood in association with the location.

[0024] (62.5m mesh) The area evaluation information output means 2101 may output area evaluation information 2311 of a specific area based on predetermined location information 2303 for each specific area, such as for each 62.5 m mesh. This allows accurate evaluation of the area for each 62.5 m mesh, which is the area within which a person can move in one minute, for example.

[0025] (Time series analysis) The area evaluation information output means 2101 may output area evaluation information 2311 at multiple times based on predetermined demographic information 2305 at multiple predetermined times included in a predetermined period, thereby enabling a time-series analysis of the area over a predetermined period.

[0026] (Past / future simulation) The area evaluation information output means 2101 may output area evaluation information 2311 based on predetermined place information 2303 set in the past or future, thereby making it possible to simulate area evaluation information 2311 in the past or future.

[0027] (Processing flow) An overview of the processing performed by the analysis device 2500 will be described with reference to FIG. (S301) S301 is a step for acquiring location information 2303. The location information 2303 is acquired from a map data DB. In S301, the location information 2303 can be changed or new information can be input. For example, the location of an existing building can be changed, or a new station or road can be added.

[0028] (S302) S302 is a step for acquiring facility information 2301. The facility information 2301 is acquired from a map data DB. The facility information 2301 may be included in the location information 2303 acquired in S301. In S302, the facility information 2301 can also be changed or newly entered. For example, tenant information for an existing building can be changed, or for a newly added station, new store information within the station can be entered.

[0029] (S303) S303 is a step of acquiring demographic information 2305. The demographic information 2305 can be acquired from mobile spatial statistical information or the like.

[0030] (S304) S304 is a step of acquiring lifestyle information 2307. The lifestyle information 2307 may include employment information by occupation 2309. The lifestyle information 2307 can be acquired from the Basic Survey on Social Life and Leisure Activities DB, and the employment information by occupation 2309 can be acquired from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Labor Force Survey DB.

[0031] (S305) S305 is a step for creating area evaluation information 2311 based on the information acquired up to S304.

[0032] (S306) S306 is a step of outputting the created area evaluation information 2311. The area evaluation information 2311 can be output in various ways, including output of area evaluation information 2311 for a specific area, output of area evaluation information 2311 for multiple times, and output of area evaluation information 2311 based on past or future location information.

[0033] (S307, S308) The created area evaluation information 2311 can be output as a chart or on a map. S307 is a step of outputting the area evaluation information 2311 as a chart. S308 is a step of outputting the area evaluation information 2311 on a map. The processing flow ends when the area evaluation information 2311 is output in S306, S307, or S308.

[0034] (People flow distribution estimation algorithm) An overview of the people flow distribution estimation algorithm will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an overview of the people flow distribution estimation algorithm. (S200) In S200, the arithmetic device 2100 acquires spatial statistical data via a network. To acquire the spatial statistical data, it is possible to use "Mobile Spatial Statistics (registered trademark)" provided by NTT Docomo. The spatial statistical data is, for example, data on the number of people by age and gender within a mesh of a predetermined width (for example, 500 m square) for a predetermined time period (for example, 1 hour).

[0035] (S210) In S210, for a "predetermined area," based on spatial statistical data, people (whose age and gender are obtained from the spatial statistical data) who are staying in a specific area (for example, the Umeda area of ​​Osaka) during a specific time period (for example, a specific hour) are classified into states (behavioral classification information) such as work and movement (for example, commuting) in more detailed time units (for example, 15 minutes) within this specific time period by referring to the Basic Survey on Social Life and Leisure Activities database, and the number of people (attributes of age and gender) in each category is estimated.

[0036] (S220) In S220, based on the estimated number of people (age and gender attributes) for each behavioral category, the number of people employed (age and gender attributes) by occupation type for every 15 minutes for the above specific area is estimated, for example, based on the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Labor Force Survey database.

[0037] (S230, S240) In S230, the estimated number of employees (age and gender attributes) by job type for every 15 minutes is expanded (for example, proportionally allocated) to each building (facility) based on the total floor area of ​​the facilities and buildings on the map and the area allocated to each job type in each facility / building, and aggregated data on the number of employees is estimated for a mesh (for example, a 62.5 m mesh) smaller than the unit mesh of the spatial statistical data. The chart output means 2103 may output this as a chart showing the proportion by number of employees (output A). Furthermore, the map output means 2105 may output this on a map, associating the proportion by number of employees with location (output B). Figure 4(a) shows an example of output A. Figure 4(b) shows an example of output B.

[0038] (Example of area evaluation) An example of area evaluation using analysis device 2500 will be described with reference to Figures 5 to 8. Figures 5 to 8 explain area evaluation by analysis device 2500, taking as an example the change in area evaluation information when a building and a road are installed on land where no buildings exist.

[0039] Fig. 5 is a diagram showing a map in which the building under consideration does not exist. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing a people flow heat map in a state in which the building under consideration does not exist. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a map in which the building under consideration exists. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing a people flow heat map in a state in which the building under consideration exists. Figs. 6 and 8 are examples in which the area evaluation information 2311 is output as a map.

[0040] There are no buildings in the area indicated by framed area 2601 in Figure 5. Framed area 2602 in Figure 6 indicates the same area as framed area 2601 in Figure 5. There are no buildings in the area indicated by framed area 2602 in Figure 6. As a result, there is less pedestrian movement.

[0041] Figure 7 shows a map in the case where buildings are provided in the area enclosed by frame 2601 in Figure 5. The buildings provided are a first building 2611 and a second building 2612. Furthermore, two roads, a first road 2614 and a second road 2615, are provided surrounding first building 2611 and second building 2612 and connecting to existing roads.

[0042] Boxes 2621 and 2622 in Fig. 8 correspond to the positions of first building 2611 and second building 2612, respectively, in Fig. 7. As shown in boxes 2621 and 2622 in Fig. 8, the flow of people is increasing in the area corresponding to first building 2611 and the area corresponding to second building 2612. It can also be seen that there is a flow of people on first road 2614 and second road 2615.

[0043] In this way, by using the analysis device 2500 and the area evaluation information 2511, it is possible to predict, for example, the flow of people when a new store is opened. In addition, by changing the type of building to be placed or facility information, it is possible to consider how to make the most of the land and the building. Furthermore, by placing various roads in various positions around the building, it is possible to consider what type of access to the building is most likely to increase the flow of people. Note that the access is not limited to roads, and it can also be by rail, etc. If the access is by rail, it is possible to consider where the station should be located by changing the station's location.

[0044] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications, improvements, etc. within the scope of achieving the object of the present invention are included in the present invention.

[0045] Furthermore, for example, the above-described series of processes can be executed by hardware or software. In other words, the above-described functional configuration is merely an example and is not particularly limited. That is, it is sufficient for the information processing system to have the functionality to execute the above-described series of processes as a whole, and the type of functional block used to realize this functionality is not particularly limited. Furthermore, the locations of the functional blocks and databases are also not particularly limited and may be arbitrary. For example, at least some of the functional blocks and databases required to execute various processes may be transferred to a user terminal or the like. Conversely, the functional blocks and databases of the user terminal may be transferred to a server or the like. Furthermore, one functional block may be configured as hardware alone, software alone, or a combination thereof.

[0046] When a series of processes is executed by software, the programs constituting the software are installed onto a computer or the like from a network or a recording medium. The computer may be a computer incorporated into dedicated hardware. The computer may also be a computer capable of executing various functions by installing various programs, such as a server, a general-purpose smartphone, or a personal computer.
