Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an office utilization proposal device, an electronic device, an office utilization proposal method, and a program.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the way of working by telecommuting has been spreading. As a result, in departments where a telecommuting-centered working environment has become the mainstream, unused free-address seats have become prominent. In order to maintain such unused free-address seats and floors, extra costs are incurred. Therefore, in order to reduce costs, it is necessary to remove free-address seats or transfer users (seats) to a smaller floor. On the other hand, after a department that was mainly telecommuting has removed free-address seats or transferred to a smaller floor and returns to the previous office-based way of working, it is necessary to increase the number of seats or expand the floor.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 describes a system that analyzes the opinions and action histories of users who use an office and generates planning requirements for the basic plan of the target office. The system calculates the required area of the office and allocates each organization to each floor based on the inter-organizational proximity and required area between departments (stacking process). Further, the system arranges the organizations allocated to each floor within each floor (blocking process).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] As described above, due to the impact of promoting telework, there may be a situation where extra free-address seats are maintained for the actually necessary free-address seats on the floor that holds free-address seats. Or conversely, there may be a shortage of free-address seats due to the impact of the end of telework. When transferring the users (seats) on a certain floor to another floor, or when a certain floor accepts the users (seats) of another floor, it is necessary to consider the floors involved in the transfer or acceptance. However, it is time-consuming to always find out that floor manually.

[0006] The system described in Patent Document 1 determines the allocation of each organization to each floor and the arrangement of each organization within each floor within the range of the pre-calculated required area. That system determines the allocation and arrangement of each organization without any variation in the required area within the range of the pre-calculated required area. Therefore, that system does not cope with the expansion or contraction of the floor accompanying the transfer or acceptance of the floor.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0014] Hereinafter, each embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In all the drawings, the same or corresponding components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and common descriptions are omitted.

[0015] <First Embodiment> Hereinafter, an embodiment according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the hardware configuration of the electronic device 1 of this embodiment. For example, the electronic device 1 is a computer device such as a PC (Personal Computer) or a server device.

[0016] The electronic device 1 is, for example, a computer equipped with various hardware such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 101, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 102, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 103, another storage device 104, and a display device 105.

[0017] FIG. 2 shows the functional configuration of the electronic device 1. The electronic device 1 includes an information processing unit 2, a storage unit 3, and a display unit 4.

[0018] The information processing unit 2 functions as an office utilization proposal device. The information processing unit 2 includes an information reception unit 21, an information acquisition unit 22, a utilization rate calculation unit 23, an optimization processing unit 24, and an information output unit 25. The CPU 101 realizes the functions of the information processing unit 2 by executing the programs stored in the ROM 102.

[0019] The information reception unit 21 receives the information input by the user to the electronic device 1. The information acquisition unit 22 acquires from the storage unit 3 the information necessary for the processing executed by the utilization rate calculation unit 23. That information includes information indicating the usage status of seats and the like installed on each floor in an office including a plurality of floors. The utilization rate calculation unit 23 calculates the utilization rate of seats and the like based on the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 22. The optimization processing unit 24 executes an optimization process and determines the necessity of expanding or shrinking a floor based on the utilization rate of seats and the like on each floor. If it is necessary to expand or shrink a floor, the optimization processing unit 24 generates proposal information for proposing transferring the seats and the like on the target floor to another floor or accepting the seats and the like on another floor to the target floor. The information output unit 25 outputs the proposal information generated by the optimization processing unit 24 to the display unit 4.

[0020] The storage unit 3 is a storage medium such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), an SSD (Solid State Drive), or a flash memory. The storage unit 3 stores floor location information 31, floor detailed information 32, and floor usage management information 33. The floor location information 31 indicates the information of the office and the floor. The floor detailed information 32 indicates a list of users on each floor and information such as seats. The floor usage management information 33 indicates the usage status of seats and the like on each floor.

[0021] The display unit 4 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display. The display unit 4 displays the proposal information output by the information output unit 25.

[0022] A program for realizing the functions of the information processing unit 2 may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. The computer system may read and execute the program recorded on this recording medium. Here, the "computer system" shall include hardware such as an OS and peripheral devices. Also, the "computer system" shall include a WWW system equipped with a homepage providing environment (or display environment). Further, the "computer-readable recording medium" refers to a portable medium such as a flexible disk, a magneto-optical disk, a ROM, a CD-ROM, etc., and a storage device such as a hard disk built into the computer system. Furthermore, the "computer-readable recording medium" also includes a volatile memory (RAM) inside a computer system that becomes a server or a client when a program is transmitted via a network such as the Internet or a communication line such as a telephone line, and holds the program for a certain period of time.

[0023] Also, the above program may be transmitted from a computer system that stores the program in a storage device or the like to another computer system via a transmission medium or by a transmission wave in the transmission medium. Here, the "transmission medium" for transmitting the program refers to a medium having a function of transmitting information, such as a network (communication network) such as the Internet or a communication line (communication line) such as a telephone line. Also, the above program may be for realizing a part of the aforementioned functions. Furthermore, it may be a so-called difference file (difference program) that can realize the aforementioned functions in combination with a program already recorded in the computer system.

[0024] Figure 3 shows the operation of the electronic device 1. Referring to Figure 3, the operation of the electronic device 1 will be described. Hereinafter, an example of determination based on the seat occupancy rate of free-address seats that users can freely select without having individual assigned seats will be described.

[0025] The user inputs a period to be determined (target period). The information reception unit 21 receives the target period input by the user (step S1).

[0026] After the user inputs the target period, the user inputs information on the floor to be determined (the target floor). The information reception unit 21 receives the information on the target floor input by the user (step S2).

[0027] The information acquisition unit 22 refers to the floor location information 31 and the floor detailed information 32 in the storage unit 3, and acquires information corresponding to the information received by the information reception unit 21 in step S2 from the floor location information 31 and the floor detailed information 32. Further, the information acquisition unit 22 refers to the floor use management information 33 in the storage unit 3, and acquires information indicating the usage status of free address seats during the period received by the information reception unit 21 in step S1 from the floor use management information 33 (step S3).

[0028] The user has previously registered information on offices and floors as the floor location information 31. The floor location information 31 includes the name of the business establishment, the name of the building, the floor number, and the name of the floor. Further, the user has previously registered information such as a list of users on each floor and seat information as the floor detailed information 32. The floor detailed information 32 includes a floor roster (a list of members on each floor), the number of each type of seat (free address seat, normal seat, meeting room, meeting booth, special seat), the number of co - working places (laboratory, evaluation room), and the number of other facilities (locker, rack, warehouse).

[0029] For example, in step S2, the information reception unit 21 receives the name of the business establishment, the name of the building, and the floor number of the office including the target floor. In step S3, the information acquisition unit 22 acquires the floor name (the floor name of the target floor) associated with the information received by the information reception unit 21 from the floor location information 31. Further, in step S3, the information acquisition unit 22 acquires the floor names of the floors other than the target floor of the office including the target floor from the floor location information 31. In step S3, the information acquisition unit 22 acquires the number of installed free address seats on each floor from the floor detailed information 32.

[0030] The floor usage management information 33 includes the date, the attendance status of members, the usage status for each seat type, and the usage status of the co - working space. The electronic device 1 or other device collects information indicating the usage status of seats by using a general management tool. For example, the electronic device 1 or other device uses a work attendance management tool, a tool for managing the ON time of the PC power supply, an entry / exit management tool, or a location information management tool that utilizes the employee ID GPS (Global Positioning System). The information acquisition unit 22 acquires, from the floor usage management information 33, information indicating the usage status of the free - address seats on each floor during the target period in step S3. For example, the information acquisition unit 22 acquires, from the floor usage management information 33, the number of free - address seats in use on each floor.

[0031] The seat occupancy rate calculation unit 23 calculates the seat occupancy rate of the free - address seats based on the information indicating the usage status of the free - address seats. At this time, the seat occupancy rate calculation unit 23 calculates the seat occupancy rate of the free - address seats on floors other than the target floor in addition to the seat occupancy rate of the free - address seats on the target floor (step S4).

[0032] A method for calculating the seat occupancy rate of the free - address seats will be described. The seat occupancy rate calculation unit 23 calculates the seat occupancy rate according to the following formula (1). Seat occupancy rate [%]=(Number of seat users [persons] / Number of seats [seats])*100 ···(1)

[0033] The number of seat users is acquired from the floor usage management information 33. The number of seats is acquired from the floor detailed information 32.

[0034] Assuming that a user using a free - address seat uses the PC installed on that free - address seat, the number of users using the free - address seats is the same as the number of PCs in use. Therefore, the seat occupancy rate calculation unit 23 may calculate the seat occupancy rate according to the following formula (2). The number of PCs with the power ON is acquired from the floor usage management information 33. Seat utilization rate [%] = (Number of PCs with power on / Number of seats) * 100 ··· (2)

[0035] The optimization processing unit 24 executes optimization processing and generates proposal information regarding transfer or acceptance of a floor (step S5).

[0036] The information output unit 25 outputs the proposal information generated by the optimization processing unit 24 to the display unit 4. The display unit 4 displays the proposal information (step S6).

[0037] When the electronic device 1 includes a communication device, the information output unit 25 may output the proposal information to the communication device. The communication device may transmit the proposal information to an external device. The external device is a PC, a server, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like. The external device receives the proposal information and may display the proposal information on a display device included in the external device.

[0038] FIG. 4 shows the operation of the electronic device 1 in the optimization processing (step S5). Referring to FIG. 4, the details of the optimization processing will be described.

[0039] The optimization processing unit 24 compares the seat utilization rate of the target floor with a predetermined range that is a preset standard, and determines the range to which the seat utilization rate belongs. For example, three ranges of high rate, appropriate rate, and low rate are preset. The high rate is a range of a first reference value (for example, 90%) or more. The low rate is a range of a second reference value (for example, 50%) or less that is smaller than the first reference value. The appropriate rate is a range from the second reference value to the first reference value. These are examples.

[0040] First, the optimization processing unit 24 determines whether the seat utilization rate is a high rate (step S51). When the seat utilization rate is a high rate, the optimization processing unit 24 determines that floor expansion is necessary. At this time, the process proceeds to step S52. When the seat utilization rate is not a high rate, the process proceeds to step S54.

[0041] When the seat utilization rate is high, the optimization processing unit 24 calculates the maximum and minimum values of the number of unnecessary seats on the target floor according to the following formulas (3) and (4) (step S52). Minimum number of unnecessary seats [seats] = number of seat users - (number of seats * high rate determination value - 1) ···(3) Maximum number of unnecessary seats [seats] = number of seat users - (number of seats * low rate determination value + 1) ···(4)

[0042] The optimization processing unit 24 rounds down the decimal part of the minimum number of seats shown in formula (3). Also, the optimization processing unit 24 rounds up the decimal part of the maximum number of seats shown in formula (4).

[0043] After step S52, the optimization processing unit 24 searches for a floor to which the users (seats) on the target floor can be transferred, considering the usage status of the free address seats on the target floor and the usage status of the free address seats on other floors (step S53).

[0044] Specifically, the optimization processing unit 24 calculates the total of the number of seat users on the target floor and the number of seat users on other floors. The optimization processing unit 24 calculates the seat utilization rate when it is assumed that the users of that total number use the free address seats on other floors. When the seat utilization rate falls within the appropriate range of other floors, the optimization processing unit 24 generates proposal information indicating that the users on the target floor should be transferred to other floors (transfer destination floors). When the optimization processing unit 24 calculates the above seat utilization rate for multiple transfer destination floors and the seat utilization rate falls within the appropriate range of the transfer destination floors, the optimization processing unit 24 generates proposal information for each transfer destination floor.

[0045] When the seat utilization rate is not high in step S51, the optimization processing unit 24 determines whether the seat utilization rate is low (step S54). When the seat utilization rate is low, the optimization processing unit 24 determines that the floor needs to be reduced. At this time, the process proceeds to step S55. When the seat utilization rate is not low, the seat utilization rate is appropriate and the optimization process ends.

[0046] When the seat utilization rate is low, the optimization processing unit 24 calculates the maximum and minimum values of the number of seats required on the target floor according to the following formulas (5) and (6) (step S55). Minimum required number of seats [seats] = (number of seats * low rate determination value + 1) - number of seat users ···(5) Maximum required number of seats [seats] = (number of seats * high rate determination value - 1) - number of seat users ···(6)

[0047] The optimization processing unit 24 rounds down the decimal part of the minimum number of seats shown in formula (5). Also, the optimization processing unit 24 rounds up the decimal part of the maximum number of seats shown in formula (6).

[0048] After step S55, the optimization processing unit 24 searches for a floor to which the users on the target floor can be transferred or a floor that can accept the users on the target floor, taking into account the usage status of the free address seats on the target floor and the usage status of the free address seats on other floors (step S56).

[0049] Specifically, the optimization processing unit 24 calculates the total of the number of seat users on the target floor and the number of seat users on other floors. The optimization processing unit 24 calculates the seat utilization rate when assuming that the users of the total number use the free address seats on other floors. When the seat utilization rate falls within the appropriate range of other floors, the optimization processing unit 24 generates proposal information indicating that the users on the target floor are to be transferred to other floors (transfer destination floors). When the optimization processing unit 24 calculates the above seat utilization rate for a plurality of transfer destination floors and the seat utilization rate falls within the appropriate range of the transfer destination floors, the optimization processing unit 24 generates proposal information for each transfer destination floor.

[0050] Further, the optimization processing unit 24 calculates the seat utilization rate assuming that the users of the total number described above use the free address seats on the target floor. When the seat utilization rate falls within the appropriate range of the target floor, the optimization processing unit 24 generates proposal information indicating that users on other floors (receiving floors) are to be received on the target floor. When the optimization processing unit 24 calculates the above seat utilization rate for a plurality of receiving floors and the seat utilization rate falls within the appropriate range of the target floor, the optimization processing unit 24 generates proposal information for each receiving floor.

[0051] The details of step S6 shown in FIG. 3 will be described. When the seat utilization rate of the target floor is high, the information output unit 25 outputs proposal information including the minimum unnecessary seat number, the maximum unnecessary seat number, and candidates for the transfer destination floor to the display unit 4. When there are not enough free address seats on the target floor, a proposal is made to transfer the users on the target floor to other floors. Therefore, sufficient business execution of the transferred users becomes possible, leading to an improvement in business efficiency.

[0052] When the seat utilization rate of the target floor is low, the information output unit 25 outputs proposal information including the minimum necessary seat number, the maximum necessary seat number, candidates for the transfer destination floor, and candidates for the receiving floor to the display unit 4. When there are surplus free address seats on the target floor, a proposal is made to transfer the users on the target floor to other floors or to receive users on other floors on the target floor. Therefore, it becomes possible to reduce the floors, leading to a reduction in expenses.

[0053] An example of the optimization processing executed by the optimization processing unit 24 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 shows examples of the high, appropriate, and low ranges of the seat utilization rate. As shown in FIG. 5, the high range is 90% or more, the low range is 50% or less, and the appropriate range is from 50% to 90%.

[0054] FIG. 6 shows an example of the usage status of free address seats on the floors owned by a company within a predetermined period. The company owns Building 1 and Building 2. Building 1 has Floor 1, Floor 2, and Floor 3, and Building 2 has Floor 4, Floor 5, and Floor 6.

[0055] For example, the seat utilization rate of the free address seats on Floor 1 is 30%, which is a low rate. The number of free address seats (number of seats) installed on Floor 1 is 30. The number of users (number of users) using the free address seats on Floor 1 is 10. Similar information is shown for other floors.

[0056] An example where Floor 1 is the target floor will be described. Since the seat utilization rate of the free address seats on Floor 1 is low, the optimization processing unit 24 searches for a transfer destination floor to which the users on Floor 1 can be transferred or an acceptance floor that can accept the users on the target floor.

[0057] When searching for the transfer destination floor, the optimization processing unit 24 adds the number of users on Floor 1 to the number of users on the transfer destination floor. The optimization processing unit 24 calculates the virtual seat utilization rate of the free address seats on the transfer destination floor by dividing the total of the number of users on Floor 1 and the number of users on the transfer destination floor by the number of seats on the transfer destination floor. If this seat utilization rate is appropriate, the optimization processing unit 24 generates proposal information indicating that the users on Floor 1 should be transferred to the transfer destination floor.

[0058] For example, the total of the number of users on Floor 1 (10 people) and the number of users on Floor 2 (14 people) is 24 people. Since the number of seats on Floor 2 is 20, the users on Floor 1 cannot be transferred to Floor 2.

[0059] The total of the number of users on Floor 1 (10 people) and the number of users on Floor 3 (35 people) is 45 people. Since the number of seats on Floor 3 is 50, the virtual seat utilization rate of the free address seats on Floor 3 is 90%, which is a high rate.

[0060] The total number of users on Floor 1 (10 people) and the number of users on Floor 4 (9 people) is 19 people. Since the number of seats on Floor 4 is 10, it is not possible to transfer the users on Floor 1 to Floor 4.

[0061] The total number of users on Floor 1 (10 people) and the number of users on Floor 5 (70 people) is 80 people. Since the number of seats on Floor 5 is 100, the virtual seat utilization rate of the free address seats on Floor 5 is 80%, which is appropriate.

[0062] The total number of users on Floor 1 (10 people) and the number of users on Floor 6 (3 people) is 13 people. Since the number of seats on Floor 6 is 10, it is not possible to transfer the users on Floor 1 to Floor 6.

[0063] In the above example, only the virtual seat utilization rate of the free address seats on Floor 5 is appropriate. Therefore, the optimization processing unit 24 generates proposal information indicating that the users on Floor 1 should be transferred to Floor 5.

[0064] On the other hand, when searching for the receiving floor, the optimization processing unit 24 adds the number of users on the receiving floor to the number of users on Floor 1. The optimization processing unit 24 calculates the virtual seat utilization rate of the free address seats on Floor 1 by dividing the total of the number of users on Floor 1 and the number of users on the receiving floor by the number of seats on Floor 1. If this seat utilization rate is appropriate, the optimization processing unit 24 generates proposal information indicating that the users on the receiving floor should be received on Floor 1.

[0065] For example, the total number of users on Floor 1 (10 people) and the number of users on Floor 2 (14 people) is 24 people. Since the number of seats on Floor 1 is 30, the virtual seat utilization rate of the free address seats on Floor 1 is 80%, which is appropriate.

[0066] The total number of users on Floor 1 (10 people) and the number of users on Floor 3 (35 people) is 45 people. Since the number of seats on Floor 1 is 30, it is not possible to transfer the users on Floor 3 to Floor 1.

[0067] The total number of users on Floor 1 (10 people) and the number of users on Floor 4 (9 people) is 19 people. Since the number of seats on Floor 1 is 30, the virtual seat utilization rate of the free address seats on Floor 1 is 63%, which is appropriate.

[0068] The total number of users on Floor 1 (10 people) and the number of users on Floor 5 (70 people) is 80 people. Since the number of seats on Floor 1 is 30, it is not possible to transfer the users on Floor 5 to Floor 1.

[0069] The total number of users on Floor 1 (10 people) and the number of users on Floor 6 (3 people) is 13 people. Since the number of seats on Floor 1 is 30, the virtual seat utilization rate of the free address seats on Floor 1 is 43%, which is low.

[0070] In the above example, when the receiving floor is Floor 2 or Floor 4, the virtual seat utilization rate of the free address seats on Floor 1 is appropriate. Therefore, the optimization processing unit 24 generates proposal information indicating that the users on Floor 2 or Floor 4 are to be received on Floor 1.

[0071] The optimization processing unit 24 may determine whether it is possible to receive the users of two or more receiving floors on one target floor. Specifically, the optimization processing unit 24 adds the number of users of two or more receiving floors to the number of users on Floor 1. The optimization processing unit 24 calculates the virtual seat utilization rate of the free address seats on Floor 1 by dividing the sum of the number of users on Floor 1 and the number of users of two or more receiving floors by the number of seats on Floor 1. If this seat utilization rate is appropriate, the optimization processing unit 24 generates proposal information indicating that the users of two or more receiving floors are to be received on Floor 1.

[0072] For example, the total number of users on Floor 1 (10 people), Floor 4 (9 people), and Floor 6 (3 people) is 22 people. Since the number of seats on Floor 1 is 30, the virtual seat utilization rate of the free address seats on Floor 1 is 73%, which is appropriate. Therefore, the optimization processing unit 24 may generate proposal information indicating that it accepts the users on Floor 4 and Floor 6 onto Floor 1.

[0073] An example when Floor 4 is the target floor will be described. Since the seat utilization rate of the free address seats on Floor 4 is high, the optimization processing unit 24 searches for a transfer destination floor to which the users on Floor 4 can be transferred. Specifically, the optimization processing unit 24 adds the number of users on Floor 4 to the number of users on the transfer destination floor. The optimization processing unit 24 calculates the virtual seat utilization rate of the free address seats on the transfer destination floor by dividing the sum of the number of users on Floor 4 and the number of users on the transfer destination floor by the number of seats on the transfer destination floor. If this seat utilization rate is appropriate, the optimization processing unit 24 generates proposal information indicating that it transfers the users on Floor 4 to the transfer destination floor.

[0074] For example, the total number of users on Floor 4 (9 people) and Floor 1 (10 people) is 19 people. Since the number of seats on Floor 1 is 30, the virtual seat utilization rate of the free address seats on Floor 1 is 63%, which is appropriate.

[0075] The total number of users on Floor 4 (9 people) and Floor 2 (14 people) is 23 people. Since the number of seats on Floor 2 is 20, the users on Floor 4 cannot be transferred to Floor 2.

[0076] The total number of users on Floor 4 (9 people) and Floor 3 (35 people) is 44 people. Since the number of seats on Floor 3 is 50, the virtual seat utilization rate of the free address seats on Floor 3 is 88%, which is appropriate.

[0077] The total number of users on Floor 4 (9 people) and the number of users on Floor 5 (70 people) is 79 people. Since the number of seats on Floor 5 is 100, the virtual seat utilization rate of the free address seats on Floor 5 is 79%, which is appropriate.

[0078] The total number of users on Floor 4 (9 people) and the number of users on Floor 6 (3 people) is 12 people. Since the number of seats on Floor 6 is 10, it is not possible to transfer the users on Floor 4 to Floor 6.

[0079] In the above example, the virtual seat utilization rate of the free address seats on Floor 1, Floor 3, or Floor 5 is appropriate. Therefore, the optimization processing unit 24 generates proposal information indicating that the users on Floor 4 should be transferred to Floor 1, Floor 3, or Floor 5.

[0080] This embodiment may be applied not only to free address seats but also to regular seats used by fixed users. Alternatively, this embodiment may be applied to all facilities in the office such as meeting rooms or meeting booths.

[0081] Hereinafter, an example regarding the transfer or acceptance of seats in the meeting booth will be described. Since it is not assumed that one free address seat is used by a plurality of different users multiple times a day, whether a user is using the free address seat is considered in the calculation of the utilization rate of the free address seat. On the other hand, regarding the meeting booth, it is conceivable to use it multiple times a day, and the usage time per use is different for each use. Therefore, in the calculation of the utilization rate of the meeting booth, not whether a user is using the meeting booth but the time that the user occupies the meeting booth is considered. For example, that time can be detected by a general management tool from the reservation status of the meeting booth and the like.

[0082] For example, the optimization processing unit 24 calculates the utilization rate of each meeting booth on each floor according to the following formula (7). Meeting booth utilization rate [%] = (Meeting booth usage time [minutes] / Business hours [minutes]) * 100 ··· (7)

[0083] The usage time of the consultation booth is the total of the usage times one or more times within the preset working hours. The length of the usage time of the consultation booth is less than or equal to the length of the working hours. When there are multiple consultation booths on the floor, the optimization processing unit 24 calculates the usage rate of the entire consultation booth on the floor by summing up the usage rates of those consultation booths.

[0084] When the usage rate of the entire consultation booth in the target floor is high or low, the optimization processing unit 24 executes the same processing as in the case of free address seats based on the usage status of the consultation booths in other floors. Thereby, the optimization processing unit 24 generates proposal information for proposing to transfer the consultation booth of the target floor to another floor or to accept the consultation booth of another floor into the target floor.

[0085] As described above, the information acquisition unit 22 acquires information indicating the usage status of the facilities installed on each floor. The usage rate calculation unit 23 calculates the usage rate of the facilities on the target floor. The optimization processing unit 24 generates proposal information for proposing to transfer the facilities on the target floor to another floor or to accept the facilities on another floor into the target floor. The information output unit 25 outputs the proposal information to the display unit 4. Therefore, the electronic device 1 can propose to which floor the facilities on the target floor should be transferred or which floor's facilities should be accepted into the target floor.

[0086] When the usage rate regarding the total of the number of facilities in use on the target floor and the number of facilities in use on other floors falls within a preset range regarding the number of facilities installed on other floors, the optimization processing unit 24 generates proposal information for proposing to transfer the facilities on the target floor to another floor. Therefore, the electronic device 1 can propose to which floor the facilities on the target floor should be transferred.

[0087] When the utilization rate regarding the total number of facilities in use on the target floor and the number of facilities in use on other floors falls within a preset range with respect to the number of facilities set for the target floor, the optimization processing unit 24 generates proposal information proposing to accept the facilities on other floors onto the target floor. Therefore, the electronic device 1 can propose which floor's facilities should be accepted onto the target floor.

[0088] The optimization processing unit 24 calculates the utilization rate by dividing the number of facilities in use on each floor by the number of facilities installed on each floor. Thereby, the optimization processing unit 24 can calculate the utilization rate in the case where the usage status is determined based on whether the user is using the facilities or not.

[0089] The optimization processing unit 24 calculates the utilization rate by dividing the usage time of the facilities installed on each floor by a preset time. Thereby, the optimization processing unit 24 can calculate the utilization rate in the case where the facilities are used multiple times within a preset time.
