Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] With reference to the drawings, some embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0014] 〔Embodiment 1〕 Embodiment 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 2.

[0015] (Data analysis device 10) FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the data analysis device 10 according to the present Embodiment 1.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 1, the data analysis device 10 includes an acquisition unit 11, a registration unit 12, and a processing unit 13.

[0017] The acquisition unit 11 acquires information about the residents of the house. The acquisition unit 11 is an example of an acquisition means.

[0018] In one example, the acquisition unit 11 refers to a server where information input into the user terminal held by the delivery person is aggregated. The server stores information regarding the state of the house and information regarding the residents, together with address book data.

[0019] The information regarding the state of the house indicates, for example, the type of the building of the house, the location of the entrance, and the presence or absence of free-roaming pets. The information regarding the residents indicates, for example, the family composition of the residents, the attributes of the residents (e.g., age group, gender), and the state (e.g., hard of hearing, often out during the day, able to answer the phone).

[0020] The acquisition unit 11 acquires information regarding the residents of the house from the customer database. Then, the acquisition unit 11 outputs the acquired information regarding the residents of the house to the registration unit 12.

[0021] The registration unit 12 registers the information regarding the residents in the database of the resident list. The registration unit 12 is an example of a registration means.

[0022] In one example, the registration unit 12 receives information regarding the residents of the house from the acquisition unit 11. The registration unit 12 registers the received information regarding the residents in the database of the resident list. The database of the resident list is used to set the delivery route when the delivery person delivers goods. The order added to the resident list represents a predetermined basic delivery route. For example, if there is address A with number 1 added and address B with number 2 added, the basic delivery route is in the order from address A to address B. However, the delivery person is allowed to deliver goods in an order different from the basic delivery route, under freedom and responsibility.

[0023] The registration unit 12 notifies the processing unit 13 that the information regarding the residents has been newly registered in the database of the resident list (in other words, the database of the resident list has been updated).

[0024] The processing unit 13 processes the information registered in the database of the resident list to generate secondary data representing the attributes or status of the residents of the house. The processing unit 13 is an example of processing means.

[0025] In one example, after receiving the notification from the registration unit 12, the processing unit 13 refers to the database of the resident list and acquires the information registered in the database.

[0026] Then, the processing unit 13 generates secondary data representing the attributes or status of the residents of the house by anonymizing the information about the residents. Anonymization processing is a filtering process for removing personal information included in the information about the residents. The attributes of the residents are, for example, the age group and gender of the residents, and the status of the residents is, for example, hard of hearing, often out during the day, and able / unable to answer the phone.

[0027] In this way, the processing unit 13 can obtain secondary data that makes it impossible to identify which individual is represented by the information about the residents.

[0028] (Operation of the data analysis device 10) Referring to FIG. 2, the operation of the data analysis device 10 according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing executed by each part of the data analysis device 10.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 2, first, the acquisition unit 11 acquires information about the residents of the house (S101). The acquisition unit 11 outputs the acquired information about the residents to the registration unit 12.

[0030] The registration unit 12 receives the information about the residents from the acquisition unit 11. The registration unit 12 registers the information about the residents in the database of the resident list (S102). After that, the registration unit 12 notifies the processing unit 13 that the database of the resident list has been updated.

[0031] After the registration unit 12 updates the database of the resident list, the processing unit 13 processes the information registered in the database of the resident list to generate secondary data representing the attributes or status of the residents of the house (S103).

[0032] Thereafter, the data analysis device 10 may provide or disclose the secondary data thus generated to a third party (for example, a public institution such as a city hall, an authenticated regional community) that provides resident services.

[0033] Thus, the operation of the data analysis device 10 according to the first embodiment ends.

[0034] (Effect of this embodiment) According to the configuration of this embodiment, the acquisition unit 11 acquires information about the residents of the house. The registration unit 12 registers the information about the residents in the database of the resident list. The processing unit 13 processes the information registered in the database of the resident list to generate secondary data representing the attributes or status of the residents of the house. The data analysis device 10 provides or discloses the secondary data thus generated to a third party. Thereby, the third party can understand the attributes or status of the residents of the house based on the secondary data and provide appropriate resident services.

[0035] [Embodiment 2] Referring to FIGS. 3 to 4, Embodiment 2 will be described. In the second embodiment, a configuration for notifying a third party that the residents of the house have changed will be described. For example, in the second embodiment, when there is a person transferring to a municipality, by notifying the city of this, it becomes possible for the city to follow up on the new residents quickly and appropriately.

[0036] In the second embodiment, regarding the configuration common to the first embodiment, the description in the first embodiment is cited and the explanation thereof is omitted.

[0037] (Data analysis device 20) FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the data analysis device 20 according to the second embodiment.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 3, the data analysis apparatus 20 includes an acquisition unit 11, a registration unit 12, and a processing unit 13. In addition, the data analysis apparatus 20 further includes a notification unit 24.

[0039] The notification unit 24 notifies a third party that the resident has changed. The notification unit 24 is an example of a notification means.

[0040] The processing unit 13 refers to the database of the resident list. The processing unit 13 determines whether or not the resident of the house has changed based on the information about the resident of the house. For example, when the name (especially the family name) of the resident changes, the processing unit 13 determines that the resident of the house has changed. In this case, the processing unit 13 generates secondary data indicating that the resident has changed. Then, the processing unit 13 transmits the secondary data indicating that the resident has changed to the notification unit 24.

[0041] The notification unit 24 receives the secondary data indicating that the resident has changed from the processing unit 13. In this case, the notification unit 24 notifies a third party that the resident of the house has changed. For example, the notification unit 24 notifies an organization or entity that provides resident services, such as a city hall or a non-profit corporation, that the resident of the house has changed.

[0042] (Operation of the data analysis apparatus 20) Here, the operation executed by the data analysis apparatus 20 when the resident of the house changes will be described. Hereinafter, the new resident of the house will be referred to as the "new resident".

[0043] Referring to FIG. 4, the operation of the data analysis apparatus 20 according to the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing executed by each unit of the data analysis apparatus 20.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 4, first, the acquisition unit 11 acquires information about the new resident (S201). The acquisition unit 11 outputs the acquired information about the new resident to the registration unit 12.

[0045] The registration unit 12 receives information about the new resident from the acquisition unit 11. The registration unit 12 registers the information about the new resident in the database of the resident list (S202). After that, the registration unit 12 notifies the processing unit 13 that the database of the resident list has been updated.

[0046] After the registration unit 12 updates the database of the resident list, the processing unit 13 determines whether the residents of the house have changed based on the information about the residents of the house. The processing unit 13 generates secondary data indicating that the residents have changed (S203). Then, the processing unit 13 transmits the secondary data indicating that the residents have changed to the notification unit 24.

[0047] The notification unit 24 receives the secondary data indicating that the residents have changed from the processing unit 13. In this case, the notification unit 24 notifies a third party that the residents of the house have changed (S204).

[0048] After that, the data analysis device 20 may provide or disclose the secondary data generated by the processing unit 13 to a third party (for example, a public agency such as a city hall, an authenticated local community) that provides resident services. Thereby, the third party can provide appropriate follow-up as part of the resident services to the newly moved-in residents who need help.

[0049] Thus, the operation of the data analysis device 20 according to the second embodiment ends.

[0050] (Effect of this embodiment) According to the configuration of this embodiment, the acquisition unit 11 acquires information about the residents of the house. The registration unit 12 registers the information about the residents in the database of the resident list. The processing unit 13 processes the information registered in the database of the resident list to generate secondary data representing the attributes or status of the residents of the house. The data analysis device 10 provides or discloses the secondary data generated in this way to a third party. Thereby, the third party can understand the attributes or status of the residents of the house based on the secondary data and provide appropriate resident services.

[0051] Furthermore, according to the configuration of the present embodiment, the notification unit 24 notifies a third party that the resident of the house has changed. As a result, the third party can provide appropriate follow-up as part of the resident service to the newly moved-in residents who need help.

[0052] 〔Embodiment 3〕 Referring to FIGS. 5 to 7, Embodiment 3 will be described. In this Embodiment 3, a configuration will be described in which information about residents registered in the resident list database is anonymized and then provided to a third party. For example, this Embodiment 3 notifies the city, town, or village that there are residents who need special follow-up, such as foreigners or elderly single persons, and supports the person in charge of the city, town, or village to take appropriate actions considering the individual circumstances of the residents.

[0053] In this Embodiment 3, regarding the configurations common to Embodiment 1 or 2, the descriptions in Embodiment 1 or 2 are cited and the explanations thereof are omitted.

[0054] (Data analysis device 30) FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the data analysis device 30 according to this Embodiment 3.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 5, the data analysis device 30 includes an acquisition unit 11, a registration unit 12, and a processing unit 13. In addition, the data analysis device 30 further includes a providing unit 34. The data analysis device 30 may further include the notification unit 24 described in the above Embodiment 2 (modification example).

[0056] The processing unit 13 generates secondary data by anonymizing personal information included in the information about the residents of the house. For example, the processing unit 13 generates secondary data by excluding personal information included in the information about the residents through information filtering processing.

[0057] The providing unit 34 provides secondary data obtained by anonymizing personal information included in information about the residents of a house to a third party. The providing unit 34 is an example of a providing means.

[0058] In one example, the processing unit 13 outputs the anonymized secondary data to the providing unit 34. The providing unit 34 receives the secondary data from the processing unit 13. The providing unit 34 provides the secondary data received from the processing unit 13 to a third party. Here, the third party is, for example, a municipality or a business operator that provides resident services such as retail.

[0059] Since the secondary data provided by the providing unit 34 to the third party is anonymized, the personal information and privacy of the residents are sufficiently protected.

[0060] In a modified example, the providing unit 34 may generate information related to the attributes or status of the residents from the secondary data anonymized by the processing unit 13 and provide the information related to the attributes or status of the residents to the residents.

[0061] For example, the providing unit 34 predicts the population trend in that area based on the secondary data. The providing unit 34 provides spot information about that street according to the change in the name of the household head. The providing unit 34 provides a recommended moving plan according to the change in the name of the household head / family name / co-resident name (family composition information). The providing unit 34 detects the change in the family composition based on the change in the family composition information (time-series data) and provides information corresponding to the conversion of the family composition (baby, child, others). The providing unit 34 provides information about the duration of the name of the household head (length of residence) to (real estate agents, etc.).

[0062] In another modified example, the providing unit 34 provides data leading to the development of a street, a shopping street, etc. based on the secondary data. The data recipients are local governments and operators conducting new businesses (opening convenience stores). For example, it may be a family of three or more like Nishimatsuya, or a trendy store (single or two-person family).

[0063] (Operation of the data analysis device 30) Referring to FIG. 6, the operation of the data analysis apparatus 30 according to Embodiment 3 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of processes executed by each part of the data analysis apparatus 30.

[0064] As shown in FIG. 6, first, the acquisition unit 11 acquires information about the residents of the house (S101). The acquisition unit 11 outputs the acquired information about the residents to the registration unit 12.

[0065] The registration unit 12 receives information about the residents from the acquisition unit 11. The registration unit 12 registers the information about the residents in the database of the resident list (S102). After that, the registration unit 12 notifies the processing unit 13 that the database of the resident list has been updated.

[0066] After the registration unit 12 updates the database of the resident list, the processing unit 13 generates secondary data by anonymizing the personal information included in the information about the residents of the house (S303).

[0067] The providing unit 34 provides the anonymized secondary data to a third party (S304). For example, the providing unit 34 provides the secondary data generated by the processing unit 13 to a third party (for example, a public institution such as a city hall, an authenticated regional community) that provides resident services or makes it public.

[0068] Thus, the operation of the data analysis apparatus 30 according to Embodiment 3 ends.

[0069] (Modification example) A modification example of the data analysis apparatus 30 according to Embodiment 3 will be described.

[0070] FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a data analysis apparatus 30a according to a modification example. As shown in FIG. 7, in addition to the acquisition unit 11, the registration unit 12, the processing unit 13, and the providing unit 34, the data analysis apparatus 30a further includes a notification unit 24.

[0071] In this modification example, the processing unit 13 determines whether the resident of the house has changed based on the information regarding the resident of the house. For example, when the name (especially the surname) of the resident changes, the processing unit 13 determines that the resident of the house has changed. In this case, the processing unit 13 generates secondary data indicating that the resident has changed. Then, the processing unit 13 transmits the secondary data indicating that the resident has changed to the notification unit 24.

[0072] The notification unit 24 receives the secondary data indicating that the resident has changed from the processing unit 13. In this case, the notification unit 24 notifies a third party that the resident of the house has changed. For example, the notification unit 24 notifies an organization or entity that provides resident services, such as a city hall or a non-profit corporation, that the resident of the house has changed.

[0073] Furthermore, the processing unit 13 generates secondary data by anonymizing the personal information included in the information regarding the resident of the house. The processing unit 13 outputs the anonymized secondary data to the providing unit 34. The providing unit 34 receives the secondary data from the processing unit 13. The providing unit 34 provides the secondary data received from the processing unit 13 to a third party.

[0074] According to the configuration of this modification example, it is possible to notify a third party that a new resident has moved into the house and provide information (i.e., anonymized secondary data) for the third party to understand the needs of the new resident.

[0075] (Effects of this Embodiment) According to the configuration of this embodiment, the acquisition unit 11 acquires information regarding the resident of the house. The registration unit 12 registers the information regarding the resident in the database of the resident list. The processing unit 13 processes the information registered in the database of the resident list to generate secondary data representing the attributes or status of the resident of the house. The data analysis device 10 provides or discloses the secondary data generated in this way to a third party. Thereby, the third party can understand the attributes or status of the resident of the house based on the secondary data and provide appropriate resident services.

[0076] Furthermore, according to the configuration of the present embodiment, the processing unit 13 generates secondary data by anonymizing personal information included in the information about the residents of the house. The providing unit 34 provides the secondary data obtained by anonymizing the personal information included in the information about the residents of the house to a third party. Thereby, information can be provided to a third party while appropriately protecting the personal information and privacy of the residents.
