Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in the conventional technology, it is not possible to display appropriate information regarding the state of the toilet space to be managed. For example, in the conventional technology, information acquired from toilet-related devices and sensors is merely displayed on a terminal, making it difficult to intuitively grasp the state of the entire toilet space, leaving room for improvement.

[0005] The disclosed embodiments aim to display appropriate information regarding the state of the toilet space to be managed.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] A toilet management system according to one embodiment includes: an acquisition means for acquiring information from sensors provided in each of a plurality of toilet spaces having a plurality of toilet booths; a storage means for storing an equipment layout diagram in which at least one piece of equipment is assigned to the layout of each toilet space in the plurality of toilet spaces; an evaluation means for evaluating changes in the state of the toilet spaces based on the sensor information acquired by the acquisition means; and a display means for displaying the equipment layout diagram based on the sensor information acquired by the acquisition means, wherein the display means is further a display means for displaying either or both of the sensor information or a composite content in which content indicating the state of each toilet space evaluated by the evaluation means is assigned to the equipment layout diagram.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the toilet management system, the status of the target toilet space and the equipment installed in that toilet space are displayed on a display screen for workers engaged in cleaning and / or management work in toilet spaces. This allows users to easily grasp the location information and status from the equipment layout diagram, thus efficiently supporting their work. Furthermore, the toilet management system can acquire the status of equipment installed in multiple toilet spaces from sensors, evaluate the status of the toilet spaces based on this information, and display the results on a diagram that assigns the toilet spaces to a layout diagram. Therefore, users can easily grasp the location information and status from the layout diagram.

[0008] In a toilet management system according to one embodiment, the evaluation means evaluates the usage history or usage status of the toilet equipment based on information from the sensors of the toilet equipment installed in the toilet booth, and the display means displays the composite content including information regarding the usage history or usage status of the toilet equipment.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the toilet management system, the results of evaluating the toilet usage history or usage status based on sensor information can be displayed in content assigned to the layout diagram, thus providing a system that can evaluate the usage history or usage status of the toilet equipment based on sensor information.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the toilet management system, it is possible to detect and count the entry and exit of only users as usage counts, so the history of users who do not use the toilet equipment can also be reflected. Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the toilet management system, it is possible to grasp the dirt status that is independent of the equipment, such as the dirt on the floor. In other words, according to one embodiment of the toilet management system, it is possible to provide a system that can evaluate the usage history or usage status of toilet booths based on entry and exit information.

[0012] In a toilet management system according to one embodiment, the evaluation means evaluates the usage history or usage status of the toilet space-related device based on the information of the sensor of the toilet space-related device installed in the toilet space, and the evaluation means displays the composite content which includes information regarding the usage history or usage status of the toilet space-related device installed in the toilet space.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the toilet management system, the usage history of products other than toilet equipment such as handwashing equipment is reflected in the layout diagram and can be checked by the user. This allows the user to check information about a wide variety of devices installed in the toilet space, resulting in superior usability.

[0014] In a toilet management system according to one embodiment, the display means is a display device provided inside or outside the toilet space, which displays one or more of the following: cleaning records and usage history of the toilet space, and usage status.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the toilet management system, cleaning records, usage history, and usage status information can be displayed to users, including users, cleaners, and administrators of the toilet space, making it highly user-friendly.

[0016] In a toilet management system according to one embodiment, the evaluation means evaluates abnormalities in the equipment provided in the toilet space based on the information from the sensor, and the display means displays the composite content including information regarding the abnormalities in the equipment.

[0017] According to one embodiment of the toilet management system, abnormalities in the equipment are also displayed, which prompts users who manage the toilet space to make repairs, resulting in superior usability.

[0018] In a toilet management system according to one embodiment, the acquisition means acquires information about the cleaner who cleans the toilet space, and the display means displays the composite content which includes information indicating the presence of the cleaner.

[0019] According to one embodiment of the toilet management system, the location information of the cleaner can be displayed, thereby improving cleaning efficiency when multiple people are working simultaneously.

[0020] In a toilet management system according to one embodiment, the acquisition means acquires cleaning information relating to the cleaning of the toilet space, the evaluation means updates the evaluation result of the toilet space based on the cleaning information, and the display means displays updated composite content indicating the state of the toilet space based on the evaluation result updated by the evaluation means.

[0024] The embodiments of the toilet management system disclosed herein will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.

[0025] [Example of toilet space configuration] Before describing the processes performed in the toilet management system 1 according to this embodiment (see Figure 2), an example of the configuration of a toilet space (toilet room) will be described using Figure 1. Figure 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a toilet space according to this embodiment.

[0026] As shown in Figure 1, the objects of processing related to control by the toilet management system 1 may include toilet space 2-1, toilet space 2-2, etc. When describing toilet spaces such as toilet space 2-1, toilet space 2-2, etc. without distinction, they may be referred to as "toilet space 2". For example, toilet space 2-1 and toilet space 2-2 may be toilet spaces 2 located on the same floor of the same facility such as a building, or they may be toilet spaces 2 located on different floors of the same facility such as a building. In Figure 1, toilet space 2 is shown as two toilet spaces 2-1 and toilet space 2-2, but there may be three or more toilet spaces 2. If the toilet management system 1 processes only one toilet space 2, for example, toilet space 2 may be only toilet space 2-1.

[0027] Furthermore, the toilet space 2-1 shown in Figure 1 includes toilet booths TB1 to TB5, which are individual toilets (toilet booths) that form individual spaces, and a shared space CS1 that is a shared space other than the toilet booths (also simply called "booths"). Note that when describing the toilet booths provided in toilet space 2 without distinguishing between them, such as toilet booth TB1, toilet booth TB2, toilet booth TB3, toilet booth TB4, toilet booth TB5, etc., they may be referred to as "toilet booth TB".

[0028] Figure 1 illustrates an example where toilet space 2 has five toilet booths TB, but toilet space 2 may have four or fewer, or six or more toilet booths TB. In other words, toilet space 2-1 shown in Figure 1 is merely one example of toilet space 2, and any configuration can be adopted for toilet space 2. For example, when toilet management system 1 performs processing on multiple toilet spaces 2, the multiple toilet spaces 2 may include toilet spaces 2 that have one toilet booth TB. For example, toilet space 2 that has one toilet booth TB may be a space where toilet space 2 itself is a toilet booth TB, a so-called barrier-free toilet.

[0029] A toilet booth TB is a space (individual room) separated by a partition. Each toilet booth TB is equipped with a toilet unit 10 and functions as a place for a person to defecate. Each toilet booth TB is also equipped with an openable and closable door for entering the toilet booth TB. Since the doors of each toilet booth TB are similar to those of typical toilet booth TBs, a detailed explanation is omitted. Furthermore, a toilet booth TB does not have to be a space completely separated by a partition; there may be areas above or below the partition that are not separated from adjacent toilet booths TBs or common areas.

[0030] Furthermore, when describing shared spaces within toilet space 2, such as shared space CS1, without distinguishing between them, they may be referred to simply as "shared space CS." Shared space CS is a shared area within toilet space 2 where multiple people can stay simultaneously. For example, shared space CS includes an entrance to toilet space 2, washroom facilities such as urinals 20, handwashing equipment 30 and hand dryers 40, and pathways to each toilet booth TB. Shared space CS functions as a place for entering toilet space 2, washing and drying hands, and moving to each toilet booth TB.

[0031] Thus, toilet space 2 is a space provided within a facility or other space, where users enter and exit when using the toilet. For example, toilet space 2 has toilet booths TB, a shared space CS, etc., and is a space where toilet-related structures are arranged. For example, toilet space 2-1 shown in Figure 1 has toilet booths TB1 to TB5, each containing multiple toilets 10-1, 10-2, 10-3, 10-4, and 10-5, a shared space CS1 containing urinals 20-1 to 20-4, a handwashing device 30, and a hand dryer 40. Thus, toilet space 2-1 has multiple toilet booths TB in which toilets 10 are installed.

[0032] Next, referring to the toilet space 2 shown in Figure 1, the arrangement of each device in the toilet space 2 will be explained. Toilet device 10-1 is located in toilet booth TB1. Toilet device 10-2 is located in toilet booth TB2. Toilet device 10-3 is located in toilet booth TB3. Toilet device 10-4 is located in toilet booth TB4. Toilet device 10-5 is located in toilet booth TB5. Note that when describing toilet devices 10-1, 10-2, 10-3, 10-4, and 10-5 without distinction, they may be referred to as "toilet device 10".

[0033] Figure 1 shows an example where there are five toilet units 10, but any number of toilet units 10 can be used, and the number of toilet units 10 may be four or fewer, or six or more. Details of the functions of the toilet units 10 will be described later. In addition, descriptions of toilet units 10 may be interpreted as toilet booths TB in which those toilet units 10 are located. Similarly, descriptions of toilet booths TB may be interpreted as toilet units 10 located in those toilet booths TB. For example, toilet unit 10-1 may be interpreted as toilet booth TB1, and toilet booth TB1 may be interpreted as toilet unit 10-1.

[0034] The toilet unit 10 is the toilet used by users when they defecate or urinate. The toilet unit 10 is located in a toilet booth TB provided within the toilet space 2. The toilet unit 10 may have a sanitary washing device and a device for dispensing hot water. For example, the toilet unit 10 has a toilet seat device that includes a toilet seat on which the user sits, and an operating unit for operating a nozzle for dispensing washing water. In addition to the toilet seat device, the toilet unit 10 has various components such as a toilet lid and a toilet bowl to realize the functions of a toilet, but a detailed explanation is omitted. The number of times the toilet unit 10 has been used is estimated, for example, by the detection results of an entry / exit detection sensor and a seating sensor, which will be described later. For example, the management device 100, which will be described later, estimates the number of times the toilet unit 10 has been used based on the detection results of the entry / exit detection sensor and the seating sensor that have been acquired.

[0035] As shown in Figure 1, urinal devices 20-1, 20-2, 20-3, and 20-4 are wall-mounted urinals used by being attached to a wall, and are made of, for example, ceramic. For example, urinal devices 20-1, 20-2, 20-3, and 20-4 have a shape in which the width narrows from the rear end surface (back) that abuts the wall to the front end, and a bowl surface for receiving urine is formed on the inside.

[0036] In addition, when describing urinal devices 20-1, 20-2, 20-3, 20-4, etc., without distinguishing between them, they may be referred to simply as "urinal device 20". Furthermore, while Figure 1 shows an example where there are four urinal devices 20, any number of urinal devices 20 can be used, and the number of urinal devices 20 may be three or less, or five or more. The number of times a urinal device 20 is used is estimated, for example, based on the detection results of ultrasonic sensors or infrared sensors described later, indicating whether or not a user is approaching it. For example, the management device 100 estimates the number of times a urinal device 20 has been used based on the detection results of the ultrasonic sensors or infrared sensors acquired.

[0037] The handwashing device 30 is located in the shared space CS provided within the toilet space 2. The handwashing device 30 is intended for use in toilets that have a washbasin for users to wash their hands, wash their faces, or look in a mirror. In Figure 1, the handwashing device 30 in toilet space 2-1 is located in the shared space CS1. The number of times the handwashing device 30 is used and the duration of use are estimated based on, for example, the presence or absence of a user based on the detection results of ultrasonic sensors and infrared sensors (described later), and the detection results of a flow sensor. For example, the management device 100 estimates the number of times the handwashing device 30 is used and the duration of use based on the acquired detection results of ultrasonic sensors, infrared sensors, and flow sensors.

[0038] The hand dryer 40 is located in the shared space CS within the toilet space 2. The hand dryer 40 is a device used by users to dry their hands after washing them at the washbasin, which will be described later. In Figure 1, the hand dryer 40 in toilet space 2-1 is located in the shared space CS1. The number of times the hand dryer 40 is used and the usage time are estimated based on, for example, the presence or absence of a user approaching the hand dryer based on the detection results of ultrasonic sensors and infrared sensors, which will be described later, as well as the detection results of optical sensors and current sensors. For example, the management device 100 estimates the number of times the hand dryer 40 is used and the usage time based on the acquired detection results of ultrasonic sensors and infrared sensors, as well as the detection results of optical sensors and current sensors.

[0039] (Toilet space layout) Let me briefly explain some examples of the placement of toilet space 2. Toilet space 2 can be installed in any location as long as there is space in which it can be physically placed. In other words, any location can be chosen for toilet space 2. For example, toilet space 2 may be installed in a commercial facility such as a department store. Furthermore, the location of toilet space 2 is not limited to commercial facilities such as shops, but can be various types of facilities. For example, toilet space 2 may be installed in an amusement park, a stadium, or an office building. For example, toilet space 2 may be installed in a toilet located in a tourist area. For example, toilet space 2 may be installed in a park or parking lot. In other words, toilet space 2 may be installed outdoors in a park or parking lot. Thus, toilet space 2 can be installed in any location as long as there is space in which it can be installed.

[0040] [Configuration of the toilet management system] Next, the configuration of the toilet management system 1 will be described with reference to Figure 2. Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of a toilet management system according to the embodiment. The toilet management system 1 shown in Figure 2 includes a management device 100, various sensors 200, and a display device 300.

[0041] The management device 100 is an information processing device (computer) that performs processing to manage toilet space-related devices installed in the toilet space 2. For example, the management device 100 may be a cloud server or the like. The management device 100 is connected to various sensors 200 and display devices 300 via a predetermined network, either wirelessly or via wired communication. Toilet space-related devices (hereinafter also simply referred to as devices) refer to equipment installed in the toilet space 2, such as toilet equipment 10, urinal equipment 20, handwashing equipment 30, and hand dryer 40, which are used by users of the toilet space 2. Each device is also equipped with various sensors 200, which will be described later.

[0042] The management device 100 evaluates changes in the state of the toilet space 2 using detection information indicating the use of devices acquired from various sensors 200 (described later), and displays a composite content on the display device 300 (described later) that maps the evaluation results to an equipment layout diagram.

[0043] The management device 100 may be located outside the toilet space 2 or inside the toilet space 2. For example, the management device 100 may be a server device located in a facility where the toilet space 2 is provided.

[0044] The various sensors 200 are sensor devices installed in the toilet space 2, on the doors of the toilet booth TB, on handrails, trash cans, and other equipment. For example, the various sensors 200 are sensors that detect operations such as nozzle operation of the heated toilet seat, operation of the flush button, and operation of the deodorizer, as well as seating sensors, on the toilet seat device attached to the toilet device 10 of the toilet booth TB. In addition, the various sensors 200 are, for example, door sensors that detect the opening and closing of the door of the toilet booth TB, key sensors that detect the locking and unlocking of the door, and motion sensors that detect the presence or absence of a person inside the toilet booth TB, thereby detecting the entry and exit of users to and from the toilet booth TB.

[0045] Furthermore, the various sensors 200 include, for example, a flow sensor for the faucet of the handwashing device 30, an ON sensor for the automatic faucet, an ON sensor for the automatic soap dispenser, an lint detection sensor, a sink dirt detection sensor, and a human motion sensor for the faucet equipment.

[0046] The display device 300 is a device that displays content generated by the management device 100. The display device 300 is a display device installed inside or outside the toilet space 2, and displays one or more of the following: cleaning records, usage history, and usage status of the toilet space 2. For example, the display device 300 is a device that has a display that shows composite content indicating cleaning records, usage history, and usage status to each user, such as an administrator, cleaner, or user, and can be implemented using a tablet terminal or monitor device. The display device 300 can also display any information of the toilet space 2 selected by the user by receiving tap operations from the user, for example.

[0047] For example, when the display device 300 displays composite content to an administrator, an administrator's PC or tablet device may be used. Also, when the display device 300 displays composite content to cleaning staff or users, a smartphone or tablet device owned by the cleaning staff or users, a display device installed inside or outside the toilet, or a display device installed at the facility entrance may be used.

[0048] [Problems with conventional technology] Next, I will explain the problems with conventional toilet management systems. Conventionally, there are IoT-based equipment management systems for public toilets. These systems improve convenience for general users by displaying toilet occupancy information on a display terminal. Furthermore, for cleaning companies, sensors can detect the level of dirtiness of water-related equipment such as toilets and handwashing facilities, and this information can be displayed and notified on a terminal, thereby improving the efficiency of cleaning work. Information on the completion of cleaning can be sent to the cloud, and it is possible to guide users to the next cleaning area or indicate whether the toilet space is available for use, thereby providing value not only to cleaning workers but also to users.

[0049] However, simply displaying information acquired from toilet-related devices and sensors on a terminal makes it difficult to intuitively grasp the overall state of the toilet space. Cleaners and managers need to perform their duties while mentally visualizing the situation on site based on the aforementioned information, which reduces work efficiency. Furthermore, if equipment layout diagrams and sensor information are managed separately, discrepancies between the site and the information are likely to occur, increasing the risk of making incorrect judgments. Thus, there are problems in terms of information integration and ease of visual recognition.

[0050] [Processing details of the toilet management system] The following describes the processing according to the embodiment of the toilet management system 1 described above. The toilet management system 1 according to the embodiment acquires information from various sensors 200 provided in each of the multiple toilet spaces 2 having multiple toilet booths TB. The toilet management system 1 then stores an equipment layout diagram in which at least one piece of equipment is assigned to the layout of each toilet space 2.

[0051] The toilet management system 1 then evaluates the changes in the state of the toilet space 2 based on the information acquired from the various sensors 200. The toilet management system 1 then displays a facility layout diagram based on the information acquired from the various sensors 200. Here, the toilet management system 1 displays either or both of the following: the information from the various sensors 200, or a composite content in which content representing the evaluated state of each toilet space 2 is assigned to the facility layout diagram.

[0052] Here, the processing details of the toilet management system 1 according to the embodiment will be explained with reference to Figure 3. Figure 3 is a diagram illustrating the processing details of the toilet management system according to the embodiment. As shown in Figure 3, the toilet management system 1 acquires detection results indicating whether or not a device is being used from various sensors 200 installed in each toilet space 2 of a particular facility, for example. To give a specific example, the toilet management system 1 acquires detection results indicating whether or not the toilet device 10 is being used from the seat sensor of the toilet device 10-3 of the toilet booth TB3, which is one of the various sensors 200.

[0053] Furthermore, the toilet management system 1 stores a facility layout diagram for each of the toilet spaces 2 in a particular facility, which assigns devices to the layout of the toilet space 2.

[0054] The toilet management system 1 then uses the acquired sensor information to evaluate the usage history and usage status of each device in the toilet space 2. To give a specific example, the toilet management system 1 evaluates whether the toilet booth TB in which the toilet unit 10 is installed is in use or not, based on the detection result of the seating sensor of the toilet unit 10.

[0055] The toilet management system 1 then displays a composite content on the display device 300, which includes, for example, a layout diagram of the toilet space 2, with the measured values ​​of the detection status of various sensors 200 assigned to the layout diagram. The toilet management system 1 also displays a composite content on the display device 300 that reflects the degree of soiling (hereinafter also referred to as the cleaning recommendation level) evaluated from the usage history of the devices, on the layout diagram of the toilet space 2.

[0056] As a result, the toilet management system 1 can directly link the location and status of equipment by allowing the user to recognize content such as usage status directly displayed on the equipment layout diagram of the toilet space 2. This leads to more efficient cleaning and management operations and a better understanding of which toilets are available. In other words, the toilet management system 1 can display more appropriate information to the user regarding the status of the toilet space 2 under its management.

[0057] [Configuration of the control device] Next, an example of the functional configuration of the management device 100 that implements the processing according to the embodiment will be described. Figure 4 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the management device according to the embodiment. As shown in Figure 4, the management device 100 has a communication unit 110, a control unit 120, and a storage unit 130.

[0058] The communication unit 110 has the function of sending and receiving information with other devices. The communication unit 110 has, for example, a communication circuit. The communication unit 110 is connected to a predetermined network such as the Internet by wire or wireless connection and sends and receives information with an external information processing device. The communication unit 110 may be connected to an external information processing device in a communicative manner by a predetermined wireless communication function such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark). For example, the communication unit 110 is connected by wire or wireless connection to various sensors 200 and display devices 300 provided on each device installed in the toilet space 2 and sends and receives information.

[0059] The storage unit 130 is implemented by, for example, a semiconductor memory element such as RAM (Random Access Memory) or flash memory, or a storage device such as a hard disk or optical disc. For example, the storage unit 130 is a computer-readable recording medium that non-temporarily records data used by an information processing program. For example, the storage unit 130 has equipment layout diagram data 131, evaluation method data 132, and cleaning personnel data 133.

[0060] The equipment layout diagram data 131 stores equipment layout diagrams in which at least one piece of equipment is assigned to the layout of each toilet space 2 in multiple toilet spaces 2. Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the data stored in the equipment layout diagram data according to the embodiment. As shown in Figure 5, the equipment layout diagram data 131 stores information for the items "Target Toilet", "Equipment Layout Diagram", and "Device".

[0061] "Target Toilet" stores information about the location of the toilet space 2 to be managed. "Equipment Layout Diagram" stores image data of the equipment layout diagram in which devices are assigned to the layout of toilet space 2. "Device" stores information about the devices installed in toilet space 2.

[0062] For example, the equipment layout data 131 stores that "the equipment layout diagram '***(layout diagram file data)' is associated with the 'Facility A1F Men's Toilet' and that the devices 'toilet 001, toilet 002, urinal 001...' are installed there."

[0063] The evaluation method data 132 stores data that specifies the evaluation method required for processing by the evaluation unit 122, which will be described later. Figures 6 to 9 illustrate an example of evaluation method data according to the embodiment.

[0064] First, an example of an evaluation method for the toilet equipment 10 of toilet booth TB will be explained using Figure 6. For example, the evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method for the toilet equipment 10 of toilet booth TB that uses sensor information detected by sensors that detect operations such as nozzle operation of the heated toilet seat, operation of the flush button, and operation of the deodorizer, as well as seating sensors, for the toilet equipment 10 attached to the toilet equipment 10 of toilet booth TB.

[0065] To explain with a specific example, the evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method in which the toilet device 10 is determined to be in use when the seat sensor is turned ON, and the toilet device 10 is determined to be unused after the seat sensor is turned OFF and the flush button is pressed. The evaluation method data 132 also stores an evaluation method in which the usage history of the toilet device 10 is determined by adding the current usage count to the cumulative number of previous uses.

[0066] Furthermore, the evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method that determines the cleaning recommendation level based on the calculation result of (usage history) / (maximum number of nozzle or toilet usages). Furthermore, the evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method that determines the cleaning recommendation level based on the calculation result of (usage history) / (maximum number of deodorizer usages). Furthermore, the evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method that determines there is a possibility of an abnormality if the calculation result obtained by subtracting the number of usages on the current day from the daily usage history (frequency) is 20 or more.

[0067] Next, an example of an evaluation method for the usage status of toilet booth TB will be explained using Figure 7. For example, the evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method for toilet booth TB that uses a door sensor to detect the opening and closing of the toilet booth TB door, a key sensor to detect whether the door lock is locked or unlocked, and a motion sensor to detect the presence or absence of a person inside the toilet booth TB.

[0068] To explain with a specific example, evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method that determines if the toilet booth TB is in use when the door is closed or the motion sensor is ON, and determines if the toilet booth TB is empty (unused) when the door is open or the motion sensor is OFF. In addition, evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method that determines the usage history of the toilet booth TB by adding the current opening and closing count to the cumulative number of previous uses.

[0069] Furthermore, the evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method that determines the cleaning recommendation level based on the calculation result of (usage history) / (maximum number of times the individual room is used (garbage collection limit)). Furthermore, the evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method that determines the cleaning recommendation level based on the calculation result of (usage history) / (maximum number of times the deodorizer is used). Furthermore, the evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method that determines that an abnormality in the user has been detected if the lock remains open for a long period of time despite the motion sensor being ON. Furthermore, the evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method that determines that an abnormality such as vandalism, such as leaving the lock unlocked, has been detected if the lock remains closed for a long period of time despite the motion sensor being OFF.

[0070] Next, using Figure 8, an example of an evaluation method for faucet equipment such as the handwashing device 30 will be explained. For example, the evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method for the handwashing device 30 using the flow sensor of the faucet, the ON sensor of the automatic faucet, the ON sensor of the automatic soap dispenser, the clog detection sensor, the washbasin dirt detection sensor, and the human presence sensor of the faucet equipment.

[0071] To explain with a specific example, the evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method that determines the handwashing device 30 is in use when the automatic faucet is ON, the automatic soap dispenser is ON, or the motion sensor is ON, and determines the handwashing device 30 is empty (unused) when any of the sensors are OFF. In addition, the evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method that determines the usage history of the handwashing device 30 as the sum of the cumulative number of uses up to the previous use and the number of uses in the current use.

[0072] Furthermore, the evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method that determines the cleaning recommendation level based on the calculation result of (usage history) / (maximum number of uses of the faucet (waste collection limit)). Also, the evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method that determines the cleaning recommendation level when the value of the dirt detection sensor exceeds the upper limit of the dirt value. Also, the evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method that determines that a blockage has occurred in the faucet equipment when the blockage detection sensor is ON. Also, the evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method that determines that there is a possibility of an abnormality if the calculation result of subtracting the number of uses on the day from the daily usage history (frequency) is 20 or more.

[0073] Next, using Figure 9, an example of an evaluation method for cleaning the toilet space 2 will be explained. For example, evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method that determines the progress of the cleaning work based on the calculation result of (number of toilets cleaned) / (total number of toilets planned to be cleaned). Evaluation method data 132 also stores an evaluation method that determines a toilet booth TB that has been cleaned within the toilet space 2 during cleaning as a usable toilet booth TB. Furthermore, evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method that determines efficient cleaning has been performed when the actual distance traveled by the cleaner is less than or equal to the cleaning plan route distance.

[0074] Furthermore, the evaluation method data 132 stores an evaluation method for determining the cleanliness of the toilet booth TB, for example, by resetting the cleaning recommendation level to 0 when cleaning completion information is received.

[0075] The cleaner data 133 stores information about the cleaner performing the cleaning work in the toilet space 2. Figure 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of cleaner data according to the embodiment. As shown in Figure 10, the cleaner data 133 stores information such as the cleaner's current location, the cleaning completion status of the devices in the toilet space 2 that the cleaner is responsible for, the cleaner's cleaning route and movement path, and the distance traveled. The cleaner's location in the cleaner data is determined, for example, by acquiring location information from a smartphone or tablet device carried by the cleaner.

[0076] The control unit 120 has the function of executing processes to control various configurations of the management device 100. The control unit 120 may be, for example, an information processing device (computer) used to control various configurations and processes. The control unit 120 may have, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), and may be implemented by executing a program stored inside the control unit 120 using RAM or the like as a working area. The control unit 120 may also have, for example, an integrated circuit such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). The control unit 120 may have one or more CPUs, or the CPU and GPU may work together to execute the functional parts.

[0077] The control unit 120 functions as a determination unit that performs various types of judgments. As shown in Figure 4, the control unit 120 has an acquisition unit 121, an evaluation unit 122, and a display unit 123.

[0078] The acquisition unit 121 acquires information from various sensors 200 installed in each of the multiple toilet spaces 2, which have multiple toilet booths TB. For example, the acquisition unit 121 acquires information such as the number of times each device has been used and whether or not it has been used by the user from the various sensors 200 installed in the aforementioned toilet spaces 2.

[0079] Furthermore, the acquisition unit 121 acquires information about the cleaners who clean the toilet space 2. For example, the acquisition unit 121 acquires location information from a terminal held by the cleaner in charge of cleaning the toilet space 2, associates the cleaner's location information with the acquisition time, and notifies the evaluation unit 122. For acquiring location information, for example, a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) such as GPS (Global Positioning System) is used.

[0080] Furthermore, the acquisition unit 121 acquires cleaning information related to the cleaning of the toilet space 2. For example, the acquisition unit 121 acquires information on devices whose cleaning has been completed, which is entered into a terminal held by the cleaner, for the toilet space 2 to be cleaned, and notifies the evaluation unit 122.

[0081] The evaluation unit 122 evaluates the state changes of the toilet space 2 based on the information from the various sensors 200 acquired by the acquisition unit 121. An example of the processing of the evaluation unit 122 will be described below.

[0082] For example, the evaluation unit 122 evaluates the usage history or usage status of the toilet device 10 based on information from various sensors 200 that the toilet device 10 has installed in the toilet booth TB. To explain with a specific example, the evaluation unit 122 uses the detection information from the seat sensor installed in the toilet device 10 installed in the toilet booth TB of the toilet space 2 to evaluate that the toilet device 10 is in use when the seat sensor is ON (see No. 1 in Figure 6). In addition, the evaluation unit 122 uses the past detection information from the seat sensor installed in the toilet device 10 installed in the toilet booth TB of the toilet space 2 to evaluate the sum of the cumulative number of uses up to the previous time and the number of uses in the current time as the usage history of the toilet device 10 (see No. 2 in Figure 6).

[0083] For example, the evaluation unit 122 evaluates the usage status of the toilet booth TB based on the number of times the toilet booth TB has been used, using information from various sensors 200. To explain with a specific example, the evaluation unit 122 uses detection information from a door sensor installed on the door of the toilet booth TB in the toilet space 2 to evaluate that the toilet booth TB is in use when the door sensor detects that it is closed (see No. 1 in Figure 7).

[0084] For example, the evaluation unit 122 evaluates the usage history or usage status of toilet-related devices based on information from various sensors 200 installed in the toilet space 2. Below, an example of how to evaluate the usage history or usage status of each device other than the toilet bowl device 10 described above will be explained in order.

[0085] To explain with a specific example, the evaluation unit 122 evaluates whether the urinal 20 installed in the toilet space 2 is in use when the infrared sensor or ultrasonic sensor installed on the urinal 20 detects a person approaching. The evaluation unit 122 also uses the detection information from the infrared sensor and other sensors installed on the urinal 20 installed in the toilet space 2 to evaluate the sum of the cumulative number of uses up to the previous time and the number of uses in the current time as the usage history of the urinal 20.

[0086] To explain with a specific example, the evaluation unit 122 evaluates whether the handwashing device 30 installed in the toilet space 2 is in use when the automatic faucet is ON, the automatic soap dispenser is ON, or the motion sensor is ON. In addition, the evaluation unit 122 uses the detection information from the flow sensor and other sensors installed in the handwashing device 30 installed in the toilet space 2 to evaluate the sum of the cumulative number of uses up to the previous time and the number of uses in the current time as the usage history of the handwashing device 30 (see No. 2 in Figure 8).

[0087] To explain with a specific example, the evaluation unit 122 evaluates whether the hand dryer 40 installed in the toilet space 2 is in use when the infrared sensor and ultrasonic sensor installed on the hand dryer 40 detect a person approaching, or when the light sensor and current sensor detect the operation of the hand dryer 40. In addition, the evaluation unit 122 uses the detection information from the infrared sensor and other sensors installed on the hand dryer 40 installed in the toilet space 2 to evaluate the sum of the cumulative number of uses up to the previous time and the number of uses in the current time as the usage history of the hand dryer 40.

[0088] Let's return to the explanation of an example of the processing by the evaluation unit 122. For example, the evaluation unit 122 evaluates abnormalities in the equipment installed in the toilet space 2 based on information from various sensors 200. For example, the evaluation unit 122 uses detection information from sensors installed on each piece of equipment installed in the toilet space 2 to evaluate the abnormal state of each piece of equipment. Then, if the evaluation unit 122 evaluates an abnormality in an piece of equipment, it notifies the administrator or other relevant party of the information of the equipment that was evaluated as abnormal. Note that the equipment to be evaluated refers to all equipment installed in the toilet space 2, such as toilet space-related devices, toilet booths TB, handrails, trash cans, etc.

[0089] To explain with a specific example, the evaluation unit 122 determines that the number of uses on the day is significantly low if the calculation result obtained by subtracting the number of uses on the day from the frequency of use history for the toilet device 10 is 20 or more, and evaluates that an abnormality has occurred in the toilet device 10 (see No. 4 in Figure 6).

[0090] For example, the evaluation unit 122 evaluates the cleaner's cleaning history, progress, location, movement patterns, etc., based on the cleaner's information and cleaning information. To explain with a specific example, the evaluation unit 122 evaluates the result of the calculation (number of units cleaned) / (total number of units planned to be cleaned) as the progress of the cleaning work (see No. 1 in Figure 9). In addition, the evaluation unit 122 compares the actual distance traveled by the cleaner with the cleaning plan route distance, which is the ideal distance traveled in advance in the cleaning plan, and evaluates that the cleaning work is being carried out efficiently when the actual distance traveled by the cleaner is smaller (see No. 3 in Figure 9).

[0091] For example, the evaluation unit 122 updates the evaluation result of the toilet space 2 based on the cleaning information. To explain with a specific example, the evaluation unit 122 updates the evaluation result of a device by resetting the cleaning recommendation level set for the corresponding device to 0, based on the information of the device whose cleaning has been completed, which has been acquired by the acquisition unit 121 (see No. 5 in Figure 9).

[0092] Here, the cleaning recommendation score is an index that indicates the amount of dirt on the equipment within the toilet space 2 to be cleaned, with a higher value indicating dirtier equipment. For example, in the toilet unit 10, the cleaning recommendation score is calculated by (usage history) / (maximum number of nozzle uses) or (usage history) / (maximum number of toilet uses). In other words, the cleaning recommendation score is an index that calculates a higher percentage as the usage history of the equipment approaches the preset usage limit of the equipment.

[0093] The display unit 123 displays an equipment layout diagram based on information from various sensors 200 acquired by the acquisition unit 121. For example, the display unit 123 displays either or both of the following: information from various sensors 200, or a composite content in which content indicating the state of each toilet space 2 evaluated by the evaluation unit 122 is assigned to the equipment layout diagram.

[0094] For example, the display unit 123 generates image data that corresponds to the locations of the equipment shown in the equipment layout diagram of each toilet space 2, based on the detection results of the various sensors 200 installed in the equipment installed in each toilet space 2, which were acquired by the acquisition unit 121, and displays this image data on the display device 300. Here, the detection results of the various sensors 200 refer to information such as the measured values ​​of the sensors acquired by the acquisition unit 121 as described above, and are different from the information evaluated by the evaluation unit 122. Furthermore, the sensor information shown by the display unit 123 includes all sensors installed in the toilet space 2, and also includes sensors other than those used in the processing of the evaluation unit 122 as described above.

[0095] Furthermore, the display unit 123 generates image data that assigns content indicating the recommended cleaning level for each device related to the usage history and usage status of the toilet space-related devices in each toilet space 2 evaluated by the evaluation unit 122 to the corresponding devices on the equipment layout diagram, and displays it on the display device 300.

[0096] Furthermore, the display unit 123 displays composite content including information about the usage history or usage status of the toilet booth TB. For example, the display unit 123 generates image data that assigns an evaluation of the usage history or usage status of the toilet booth TB to the equipment layout diagram and displays it on the display device 300.

[0097] Furthermore, the display unit 123 displays composite content including information about the usage history or usage status of toilet-related devices installed in the toilet space 2. For example, the display unit 123 generates image data that assigns the usage history or usage status evaluation of the toilet equipment 10, urinal equipment 20, handwashing equipment 30, and hand dryer 40 installed in the toilet space 2 to an equipment layout diagram, and displays it on the display device 300.

[0098] Furthermore, the display unit 123 displays composite content including information about equipment malfunctions. For example, if the evaluation unit 122 evaluates an abnormality in equipment installed in the toilet space 2, the display unit 123 generates image data that assigns an indicator of the abnormality (e.g., "!") and text indicating the nature of the abnormality to the equipment evaluated as abnormal on the equipment layout diagram, and displays it on the display device 300.

[0099] Furthermore, the display unit 123 displays composite content that includes information indicating the presence of a cleaner. For example, the display unit 123 generates image data on the equipment layout diagram of the toilet space 2, based on the cleaner's location information acquired by the acquisition unit 121, and displays it on the display device 300.

[0100] Furthermore, the display unit 123 displays updated composite content that shows the status of the toilet space 2 based on the evaluation results updated by the evaluation unit 122. For example, when the evaluation unit 122 resets the cleaning recommendation level to 0, the display unit 123 generates image data that assigns a "cleaned" display or the like to the target device on the equipment layout diagram and displays it on the display device 300.

[0101] Furthermore, the display unit 123 is capable of displaying the usage history and usage status of all toilet spaces 2 in the buildings under management, and can, for example, display composite content for toilet spaces 2 selected by user operation on the display device 300.

[0102] Here, an example of composite content displayed by the display unit 123 will be described in order. Figures 11 to 15 are diagrams illustrating an example of composite content according to the embodiment.

[0103] First, Figure 11 will be used to explain the composite content that indicates the cleaning recommendation level for toilet space-related devices. As shown in Figure 11(A), the display unit 123 displays composite content that assigns a cleaning recommendation level value and a circular object of the corresponding size to each device on the equipment layout diagram of the toilet space 2. Also, as shown in Figure 11(B), the display unit 123 can display composite content that assigns objects representing the cleaning recommendation level of each device as a gauge graph to the equipment layout diagram. In this case, the display unit 123 can also display recommendations on how to eliminate the nozzle dirt, toilet bowl dirt, and filter dirt that are causing the high cleaning recommendation level for the device selected by the user's operation on the display device 300.

[0104] This allows the display unit 123 to intuitively understand that a device with a high cleaning recommendation value and a large circular object is heavily soiled. The objects displayed by the display unit 123 are not particularly limited and may be shapes other than circles, or the degree of cleaning recommendation may be expressed by the color of the shapes.

[0105] Next, Figure 12 will be used to explain the composite content that indicates the usage status, usage history, and abnormality detection of toilet booth TB. As shown in Figure 12(A), the display unit 123 displays composite content that, for example, assigns the word "In Use" to toilet booth TB that is evaluated as being in use in the equipment layout diagram of toilet space 2, and adds patterns or colors to the area of ​​toilet booth TB.

[0106] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 12(B), the display unit 123 displays composite content, for example, a button that transitions to a screen displaying detailed usage history for each toilet booth TB on the equipment layout diagram of the toilet space 2. When the display unit 123 receives a selection of the button, it displays image data showing the total number of times the target toilet booth TB was used per day over a certain period.

[0107] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 12(C), the display unit 123 assigns a warning to a toilet booth TB where an abnormality has been detected on the equipment layout diagram of the toilet space 2, and displays composite content such as patterns or colors around the toilet booth TB area. When a toilet booth TB with a warning assigned is selected, the display unit 123 displays content that serves as the basis for evaluating the abnormality, such as "It has been in use for a long time. Safety checks are recommended."

[0108] Next, Figure 13 will be used to explain the composite content that indicates the usage status, usage history, and abnormality detection of the handwashing device 30. As shown in Figure 13(A), the display unit 123 displays composite content that, for example, assigns the word "In Use" to the handwashing device 30 that is evaluated as being in use in the equipment layout diagram of the toilet space 2, and adds patterns or colors to the area of ​​the handwashing device 30.

[0109] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 13(B), the display unit 123 displays composite content, for example, a button that transitions to a screen displaying detailed usage history for each handwashing device 30 on the equipment layout diagram of the toilet space 2. When the display unit 123 receives a selection of the button, it displays image data showing the total number of times the target handwashing device 30 was used per day over a certain period.

[0110] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 13(C), the display unit 123 assigns a warning to a handwashing device 30 where an abnormality has been detected on the equipment layout diagram of the toilet space 2, and displays composite content such as patterns or colors around the handwashing device 30. When a handwashing device 30 with a warning assigned is selected, the display unit 123 displays content that serves as the basis for evaluating the abnormality, such as "Checking and cleaning is recommended because the frequency of use is extremely low."

[0111] Next, Figure 14 will be used to explain the composite content that indicates the presence of cleaners. As shown in Figure 14(1), the display unit 123 can, for example, show information such as "current location" and "status of each cleaner" for cleaners "Mr. A" and "Mr. B," and recommend overall "cleaning advice" information.

[0112] Specifically, the display unit 123 shows the "current location" of the cleaners, "Person A: 1st floor east toilet" and "Person B: 2nd floor west toilet". The display unit 123 also shows the "status of each cleaner," "Person A's progress rate: 50%" and "Person B's progress rate: 30%", indicating whether the cleaning of the toilet space 2 they are responsible for has been completed. Furthermore, the display unit 123 compares the progress of each cleaner and, since Person A's progress rate is higher than Person B's, displays "Cleaning advice" such as "Person A should join Person B after completion to provide support".

[0113] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 14(2), the display unit 123 can also display composite content that assigns the current location information of the cleaners acquired by the acquisition unit 121 to a layout map of the entire facility. Specifically, the display unit 123 displays the current location information of the cleaners responsible for cleaning the toilet spaces 2 on each of the three floors of the facility under management. In the example of Figure 14(2), by assigning the cleaners' current locations to the layout map of the entire facility rather than the equipment layout map of the toilet spaces 2, the locations of cleaners who are in locations other than the toilet spaces 2, such as when they are moving, can also be appropriately displayed.

[0114] Next, Figure 15 will be used to explain the composite content that shows the update status of the evaluation results for toilet space 2. Figure 15(A) shows an example of composite content displayed to cleaning staff or managers, and Figure 15(B) shows an example of composite content displayed to users.

[0115] As shown in Figure 15(A), the display unit 123 displays a gauge indicating the cleaning recommendation level for each toilet booth TB on the equipment layout diagram of toilet space 2. When notification is received that cleaning has been completed for the toilet booth TB, the display unit 123 updates the cleaning recommendation level to its initial value. Also, as shown in Figure 15(B), the display unit 123 assigns the words "Cleaned" or "Not Cleaned" to each toilet booth TB on the equipment layout diagram of toilet space 2 and displays a pattern or color corresponding to the cleaning recommendation level. When notification is received that cleaning has been completed for the toilet booth TB, the display unit 123 assigns the words "Cleaned" and updates the display to a pattern or color corresponding to the reset cleaning recommendation level.

[0116] This allows the display unit 123 to easily determine whether the cleaning of the toilet booth TB has been completed for the cleaner or manager, and for the user.

[0117] [Processing flow of the control device] Next, the processing flow of the management device 100 according to the embodiment will be described. Figure 16 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing procedure of the management device according to the embodiment. Note that each step in the flowchart shown below can be executed in a different order, and additional or omitted processes may be included.

[0118] For example, the control device 100 acquires information from various sensors 200 installed in the toilet space 2 (S101). Then, the control device 100 evaluates the changes in the state of the toilet space 2 (S102).

[0119] The management device 100 then generates an equipment layout diagram that reflects the sensor information (S103). The management device 100 then displays a composite content that assigns content indicating the status of each toilet space 2 to the equipment layout diagram (S104), and the process ends.

[0120] [Other examples] The processes described above are merely examples, and the toilet management system 1 may perform a variety of processes not limited to those described above. For example, the toilet management system 1 may perform the processes described in other embodiments, regardless of the descriptions of each embodiment described above.
