[0010] Hereinafter, specific embodiments to which the present disclosure is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments. In addition, the following description and drawings are appropriately simplified for clarity of explanation.

[0011] 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a waste disposal support system using a waste disposal support device according to the present embodiment. The waste disposal support system 1 according to the present embodiment can be used, for example, to give people an incentive to dispose of waste at a waste disposal site located in a facility, which is a type of preset environment, and to make the person disposing of the waste recognize the location of the waste disposal site.

[0012] As shown in FIG. 1, the waste disposal support system 1 includes, for example, an imaging device 2, a display device 3, a waste disposal support device 4, and a database 5, which are interconnected via a network 6.

[0013] Here, the network 6 is, for example, the Internet, and is constructed by a telephone line network, a wireless communication path, Ethernet (registered trademark), etc. However, the imaging device 2, the display device 3, the waste disposal support device 4, and the database 5 may be connected to each other by wire or wirelessly.

[0014] The imaging device 2 includes a camera and captures images of the inside of the facility. For example, the imaging device 2 is arranged along the passage of the facility so as to capture the passage, and is arranged around the waste disposal site arranged inside the facility so as to capture the surrounding area. Therefore, a plurality of imaging devices 2 are provided in the facility.

[0015] The display device 3 displays waste disposal site information (i.e., location information of the waste disposal site) or route information, which will be described later. The display device 3 is equipped with a projection device such as a projector, and is arranged along the corridors of the facility so that the waste disposal site information or route information can be displayed on the corridors or walls to people walking along the corridors.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 1, the garbage disposal support device 4 includes, for example, a terminal information acquisition unit 41, an image acquisition unit 42, a garbage detection unit 43, a disposal location identification unit 44, a participation recruitment unit 45, a route generation unit 46, a transmission / reception unit 47, a disposal confirmation unit 48, and a reward granting unit 49.

[0017] The terminal information acquisition unit 41 acquires ID information and location information of a mobile terminal 7 in the facility from the mobile terminal 7. Here, the mobile terminal 7 is a smartphone or a tablet PC (Personal Computer) connected to the network 6. The location information of the mobile terminal 7 can be acquired based on location information of a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver or the like mounted on the mobile terminal 7, and is linked to the ID information of the mobile terminal 7.

[0018] The image acquiring unit 42 acquires image information of the inside of the facility captured by the imaging device 2. However, it is sufficient for the image acquiring unit 42 to acquire image information of the inside of the facility, and may, for example, be provided with the imaging device 2. The dust detection unit 43 compares the image information of the inside of the facility with the dust image information stored in the database 5 to detect dust within the facility and acquire position information of the dust.

[0019] For example, the dust detection unit 43 may detect dust by applying image processing to image information of the facility captured by multiple imaging devices 2, and obtain location information of the dust within the facility based on location information of the imaging devices 2 that captured the image information in which dust was detected and location information of the dust within the image information.

[0020] Here, the dust detection unit 43 may compare the dust image information extracted from the image information within the facility with dust image information for each type stored in the database 5 to determine the type of dust.

[0021] The waste location identification unit 44 identifies the waste disposal location based on the location information of the waste within the facility and the waste location information stored in the database 5. At this time, the waste location identification unit 44 may identify the waste location closest to the waste, taking into account route information within the facility stored in the database 5. The waste location identification unit 44 may also identify the waste disposal location, taking into account information on the type of waste and the waste location information for each type of waste stored in the database 5.

[0022] The participation solicitation unit 45 generates recruitment information for soliciting people who wish to participate in the garbage disposal work, and transmits the recruitment information to a mobile terminal 7 in the facility via the transmission / reception unit 47. Then, the participation solicitation unit 45 selects people who will dispose of the garbage from among the people who wish to participate who have applied. For example, the participation solicitation unit 45 may transmit the recruitment information to mobile terminals 7 that are present within a range that is preset for the garbage, based on the location information of the mobile terminal 7 and the location information of the garbage.

[0023] In addition, based on the location information of the mobile terminal 7 and the location information of the garbage within the facility, the participation recruitment unit 45 may select from among those who wish to participate, the person who owns the mobile terminal 7 that is closest to the garbage, as the person who will dispose of the garbage.

[0024] At this time, the support app installed on the mobile terminal 7 displays recruitment information on the display device 71, and a person wishing to participate in the waste disposal work inputs a response indicating that he or she wishes to participate via the mobile terminal 7, and the participation information is then transmitted to the waste disposal support device 4.

[0025] The route generating unit 46 generates route information for disposing of the waste based on the location information of the mobile terminal 7 owned by the selected person, the route information stored in the database 5, and the identified disposal location information. At this time, the route generating unit 46 may generate the route information in response to a request from the selected person, for example.

[0026] The transmitting / receiving unit 47 is an interface with the network 6. The transmitting / receiving unit 47 receives ID information and location information from the mobile terminal 7, image information within the facility from the imaging device 2, and participation request information from the mobile terminal 7. In addition, the transmitting / receiving unit 47 transmits disposal location information or route information to the display device 3 or the mobile terminal 7, and transmits recruitment information to the mobile terminal 7.

[0027] The disposal confirmation unit 48 confirms the mobile terminal 7 owned by the person who disposed of the waste at the disposal site, based on the image information within the facility and the position information of the mobile terminal 7 owned by the selected person. For example, based on the position information of the mobile terminal 7 owned by the selected person, the image information of the waste, and the image information of the vicinity of the disposal site within the facility, the disposal confirmation unit 48 may confirm that the position information of the mobile terminal 7 indicates the vicinity of the disposal site and that the mobile terminal 7 owned by the person who disposed of the waste at the disposal site is from the image of the vicinity of the disposal site.

[0028] When the selected person disposes of waste in the waste disposal site, the reward granting unit 49 grants a reward to the mobile terminal 7 owned by the selected person. The reward granting unit 49 transmits reward information for adding points or the like to the support app of the mobile terminal 7 via the transmitting / receiving unit 47, for example.

[0029] At this time, the reward granting unit 49 may increase or decrease the amount of reward based on, for example, the size of the garbage, whether the garbage is recyclable or not, the distance to the disposal site, the amount of baggage of the selected person, the weather, or the time from when the location information of the garbage is transmitted until the garbage is disposed of, etc. The reward granting unit 49 may transmit the reward information to a server operated by a general point site.

[0030] The database 5 stores garbage image information, disposal location information, and facility passageway information. In this case, as described above, the database 5 may store garbage image information for each type and disposal location information for each type of garbage. Here, the garbage image information can be generated by supervised machine learning based on, for example, the shape, color, material, whether or not the garbage is recyclable, and the like.

[0031] Next, a flow of disposing of waste using the waste disposal support system 1 of this embodiment will be described. Figures 2 and 3 are flow charts showing the flow of disposing of waste using the waste disposal support system of this embodiment. Figures 4 to 12 are diagrams conceptually showing the state of each process.

[0032] First, as shown in Fig. 4, a person P who owns a mobile terminal 7 starts up a support app on the mobile terminal 7 (S1). Here, in Fig. 4, the left side shows the appearance of the person P who owns the mobile terminal 7, and the right side shows the appearance of the support app being started on the mobile terminal 7. Then, when the person P who owns the mobile terminal 7 enters the facility, the terminal information acquisition unit 41 of the waste disposal support device 4 acquires the ID information and location information of the mobile terminal 7.

[0033] Next, the imaging device 2 captures an image of the inside of the facility and transmits image information of the inside of the facility to the waste disposal support device 4. As a result, the image acquisition unit 42 of the waste disposal support device 4 acquires image information of the inside of the facility (S2). Here, acquisition of images of the inside of the facility continues, for example, while the facility is open.

[0034] Next, the waste detection unit 43 of the waste disposal support device 4 compares the image information of the facility with the waste image information stored in the database 5 to determine whether or not waste has been detected within the facility (S3). If no waste has been detected (NO in S3), the waste disposal support device 4 returns to the step of S3.

[0035] 5 (YES in S3), the dust detection unit 43 acquires position information of the dust D. At this time, as described above, the dust detection unit 43 may compare the image information of the dust D extracted from the image information within the facility with the dust image information for each type stored in the database 5, and determine the type of the dust D as shown in FIG.

[0036] Incidentally, FIG. 6 shows how garbage D is determined to be the first type of garbage d1 based on the result of comparing image information of garbage d1 of a first type (e.g., burnable garbage) stored in database 5 with image information of garbage d2 of a second type (e.g., plastic bottles), image information of garbage d3 of a third type (e.g., non-burnable garbage), and image information of garbage D.

[0037] Next, the waste disposal location identification unit 44 of the waste disposal support device 4 identifies the waste disposal location of the waste D based on the location information of the waste D within the facility and the waste disposal location information stored in the database 5 (S4). At this time, the waste disposal location identification unit 44 may identify the waste disposal location S of the waste D as shown in Fig. 7, taking into account the type information of the waste D and the waste disposal location information for each type of waste stored in the database 5, as described above.

[0038] Next, the participation solicitation unit 45 of the waste disposal support device 4 generates solicitation information for soliciting people who wish to participate in the waste D disposal work, and transmits the solicitation information to the mobile terminal 7 in the facility via the transmission / reception unit 47 (S5). Then, the participation solicitation unit 45 determines whether or not there has been an application from a person who wishes to participate (S6).

[0039] If no one applies to participate (NO in S6), the waste disposal support device 4 ends the support process. However, if no one applies to participate, the participation solicitation unit 45 may solicit participants again. On the other hand, if someone applies to participate (YES in S6), the participation solicitation unit 45 selects a person P who will dispose of the waste D from among the people who have applied to participate (S7), as shown in FIG.

[0040] Next, the transmitter / receiver 47 of the waste disposal support device 4 transmits the disposal location information for the waste D to the mobile terminal 7 owned by the selected person P (S8). The mobile terminal 7 then displays the disposal location information for the waste D on the display device 71, and prompts the person P to input whether or not route guidance to the disposal location is required (S9). However, the waste disposal support device 4 may also transmit information to the mobile terminal 7 prompting the person P to input whether or not route guidance to the disposal location S is required, in addition to transmitting the disposal location information to the display device 3.

[0041] As shown in Figure 9, when person P inputs a response that route guidance is required via the support app on the mobile terminal 7 (in Figure 9, by touching the Route portion displayed on the display device 71 of the mobile terminal 7) (YES in S9), the route generation unit 46 of the waste disposal support device 4 generates route information M from the person P's current location to the disposal location S and transmits the route information M to the display device 3 via the transmission / reception unit 47 (S10).

[0042] Here, in Fig. 9, the left side shows the appearance of person P who owns the mobile terminal 7, and the right side shows the mobile terminal 7 when prompted to input whether or not route guidance is required. The display device 3 displays route information M as shown in Fig. 10. This allows person P to recognize the location and route to the disposal location S. Here, as shown in Fig. 10, the route information M may show not only the guided route connecting the point where route guidance started and the disposal location S, but also the current location of person P on the guided route.

[0043] At this time, the transceiver 47 may transmit the route information M to the display device 3 that is located closest to the person P in the direction of travel of the person P among the multiple display devices 3 based on the position information of the person P within the facility, and cause the display device 3 to display the route information M in accordance with the movement of the person P. This allows the disposal location information and route information to be displayed on the display device 3 in accordance with the movement of the person P.

[0044] 9, the transmitting / receiving unit 47 may transmit the route information M to the mobile terminal 7 and display the route information M on the display device 71 of the mobile terminal 7. The transmitting / receiving unit 47 may transmit the disposal location information or the route information M to either the display device 3 or the display device 71 of the mobile terminal 7.

[0045] Next, the image acquisition unit 42 of the waste disposal support device 4 acquires image information of the surroundings of the waste disposal place S from the imaging device 2 arranged at the waste disposal place S so as to be able to capture images of the surroundings of the waste disposal place S (S11). Here, if the person P inputs a response that route guidance is not required via the support app of the mobile terminal 7 (NO in S9), the waste disposal support device 4 proceeds to the process of S11.

[0046] Next, the disposal confirmation unit 48 of the waste disposal support device 4 confirms the mobile terminal 7 owned by the person P who disposed of the waste D at the disposal place S based on the acquired image information of the vicinity of the disposal place S (S12). Then, if the mobile terminal 7 owned by the person P who disposed of the waste D at the disposal place S cannot be confirmed within a preset first time period after the transceiver unit 47 transmits the route information M to the display device 3 (NO in S12), the waste disposal support device 4 ends the support process.

[0047] At this time, if the disposal confirmation unit 48 cannot confirm the mobile terminal 7 owned by the person P who disposed of the garbage D at the disposal place S within a preset second time period after the transmission / reception unit 47 transmits the route information M to the display device 3, the disposal confirmation unit 48 may transmit, via the transmission / reception unit 47, reminding information to the mobile terminal 7 to remind the person P to dispose of the garbage D. Here, the second time period may be shorter than the first time period.

[0048] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11, if the mobile terminal 7 owned by the person P who disposed of the garbage D at the disposal site S can be confirmed (YES in S12), the reward granting unit 49 of the garbage disposal support device 4 grants a reward to the mobile terminal 7 owned by the person P (S13).

[0049] 12, the reward granting unit 49 transmits reward information for adding points or the like to the support app of the mobile terminal 7 via the transmitting / receiving unit 47. At this time, the reward granting unit 49 may generate the reward information to be granted based on type information of the garbage D, image information within the facility, weather information acquired from outside, or the like. Here, in FIG. 12, the left side shows the appearance of a person P who owns the mobile terminal 7, and the right side shows the mobile terminal 7 when points are granted.

[0050] In this way, the garbage disposal support device 4 and the garbage disposal support method of this embodiment provide an incentive to the person P to dispose of garbage D by giving a reward to the person P who disposes of garbage D, and also enable the person P to recognize the location of the disposal site S for the garbage D when disposing of the garbage D, thereby reducing the burden on the person P who disposes of the garbage D.

[0051] Moreover, the waste disposal support device 4 and the waste disposal support method of the present embodiment solicit people who wish to participate in the work of disposing of the waste D, and so people who wish to participate can apply to dispose of the waste D as if it were a game to earn a reward. In this case, if the person P who owns the mobile terminal 7 closest to the waste is selected as the person to dispose of the waste D, the waste D can be disposed of efficiently.

[0052] Furthermore, the waste disposal support device 4 and the waste disposal support method of the present embodiment determine the type of waste D and specify a disposal location according to the type of waste D, so that the waste D can be separated and disposed of.

[0053] In addition, the garbage disposal support device 4 and garbage disposal support method of this embodiment generate route information M to a disposal location for the garbage D in response to a request from a person P disposing of the garbage D and display it on the display device 3 or the display device 71 of the mobile terminal 7, thereby further reducing the burden on the person P disposing of the garbage D.

[0054] In this case, displaying route information M on the display device 3 among the multiple display devices 3 that is located closest to person P in the direction of travel of person P can contribute to reducing power consumption compared to displaying route information M on all display devices 3 at the same time.

[0055] In addition, the garbage disposal support device 4 and garbage disposal support method of this embodiment transmit, if a person P who disposes of garbage D does not dispose of the garbage D at a disposal location S, reminder information to be sent to the mobile terminal 7 owned by the person P to dispose of the garbage D, thereby preventing illegal dumping of garbage D.

[0056] The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.

[0057] For example, the waste disposal support device 4 in the above embodiment includes the participation solicitation unit 45 and the route generation unit 46, but one or both of the participation solicitation unit 45 and the route generation unit 46 may be omitted.

[0058] For example, in the above embodiment, route information M is generated after prompting person P to answer whether or not route guidance is required, but route information M may be generated without prompting person P to answer whether or not route guidance is required.

[0059] For example, the above embodiment has been described on the assumption that garbage is disposed of within a facility, but the present invention can be carried out in substantially the same manner not only within a facility but also outdoors.

[0060] For example, in the above embodiment, the present disclosure has been described as a hardware configuration, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. Any process of the present disclosure can be realized by causing a CPU (Central Processing Unit) to execute a computer program.

[0061] The program can be stored and provided to the computer using various types of non-transitory computer readable media. The non-transitory computer readable media includes various types of tangible storage media. Examples of the non-transitory computer readable media include magnetic recording media (e.g., flexible disks, magnetic tapes, hard disk drives), magneto-optical recording media (e.g., magneto-optical disks), CD-ROM (Read Only Memory), CD-R, CD-R / W, and semiconductor memory (e.g., mask ROM, PROM (Programmable ROM), EPROM (Erasable PROM), flash ROM, RAM (random access memory)). The program may also be provided to the computer by various types of transitory computer readable media. Examples of the transitory computer readable media include electric signals, optical signals, and electromagnetic waves. The transitory computer readable media can provide the program to the computer via a wired communication path such as an electric wire and an optical fiber, or via a wireless communication path.
