[0009] [Figure 1] This figure shows an example of the overall configuration of an information processing system. [Figure 2] This figure shows an example of the hardware configuration of management server 2. [Figure 3] This figure shows an example of the software configuration for management server 2. [Figure 4] This diagram illustrates the operation of management server 2. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] <System Overview> The following describes an information processing system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0011] Figure 1 shows an example of the overall configuration of an information processing system. The information processing system in this embodiment includes a management server 2. The management server 2 is connected to the user terminal 1 via a communication network. The communication network is, for example, the internet and is constructed using public telephone networks, mobile phone networks, wireless communication channels, Ethernet (registered trademark), etc.

[0012] User terminal 1 is a computer operated by the user. User terminal 1 can be, for example, a smartphone, a tablet computer, or a personal computer.

[0013] The management server 2 may be a general-purpose computer such as a workstation or personal computer, or it may be logically implemented through cloud computing.

[0014] <Management Server> Figure 2 shows an example of the hardware configuration of the management server 2. Note that the illustrated configuration is just one example, and other configurations are also possible. The management server 2 includes a CPU 201, memory 202, storage device 203, communication interface 204, input device 205, and output device 206. The storage device 203 stores various data and programs, such as a hard disk drive, solid-state drive, or flash memory. The communication interface 204 is an interface for connecting to a communication network, such as an adapter for connecting to Ethernet®, a modem for connecting to a public telephone network, a wireless communication device for wireless communication, or a USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector or RS232C connector for serial communication. The input device 205 is for inputting data, such as a keyboard, mouse, touch panel, button, or microphone. The output device 206 is for outputting data, such as a display, printer, or speaker. Furthermore, each functional unit of the management server 2, as described later, is realized by the CPU 201 reading programs stored in the storage device 203 into memory 202 and executing them, and each storage unit of the management server 2 is realized as part of the storage area provided by memory 202 and storage device 203.

[0015] Figure 3 shows an example of the software configuration of the management server 2. The management server 2 includes an activity amount storage unit 231, an activity information storage unit 232, a business operator information storage unit 233, an activity amount acquisition unit 211, an emissions calculation unit 212, an emissions output unit 213, a scope reception unit 214, a detailed output unit 215, an activity type reception unit 216, and a business operator reception unit 217.

[0016] <Storage section> The activity amount memory unit 231 stores information regarding the activity amount (hereinafter referred to as activity amount information). The activity amount is a quantitative measurement value regarding activities that generate greenhouse gases. Examples of the activity amount include the consumption amount of fuel, the usage amount of electricity, the transportation volume of goods, etc. The activity amount information includes information for specifying the activity (e.g., activity ID), the target period, the quantity, and information for specifying the business operator that provided the goods used in the activity (hereinafter referred to as used goods) (e.g., business operator ID). The used goods are, for example, fuel, electricity, etc. Note that the used goods may include services. For example, regarding indirect emissions, when receiving the provision of services, the used goods are services.

[0017] The activity information memory unit 232 stores information regarding the activity (hereinafter referred to as activity information). The activity information includes information for specifying the activity (e.g., activity ID), the type of activity, the classification of the scope, the category in the case of Scope 3, and the emission factor used for calculating the emission amount.

[0018] The emission factor may be prepared in advance for each type of activity, or may be obtained from an external system that manages the emission factor. For example, when the emission factor differs for each business operator, the emission factor memory unit can store the emission factor for each business operator.

[0019] Specific examples of the activity amount include, for example, the consumption amount of fuel (e.g., the consumption amount of oil, gas, coal, etc.), the consumption amount of electricity, the consumption amount of heat, the consumption amount of substances in industrial processes (e.g., the consumption amount of limestone in the manufacture of cement), the emission amount of waste, the usage amount of transportation means (e.g., the driving distance of company cars, the number of times of using airplanes), the consumption amount of water, the consumption amount of paper, etc.

[0020] Scopes include, for example, Scope 1 which is the emissions of the operator itself, Scope 2 which is the indirect emissions associated with the use of electricity and heat supplied by others, and Scope 3 which is the indirect emissions other than Scope 1 and 2. These classifications can be based on the GHG Protocol. For Scope 3, for example, it can be classified into categories such as purchased products and services, capital goods, transportation and distribution (upstream), waste from the business, business trips, employee commuting, leased assets (upstream), investments, transportation and distribution (downstream), processing of sold products, use of sold products, disposal of sold products, leased assets (downstream), franchises, etc. For example, the category of purchased products and services includes the purchase of raw materials, the purchase of purchased parts, etc., and the provision of services by subcontractors. The category of capital goods includes the purchase and construction of equipment. The category of transportation and distribution (upstream) includes the transportation of raw materials, the transportation of products, etc.

[0021] The operator information storage unit 233 stores information about the operator (hereinafter referred to as operator information). The operator information can include information for identifying the operator (for example, operator ID), operator name, business classification, etc. An operator related to an activity corresponding to Scope 3 is also called a supplier.

[0022] <Functional unit> The activity amount acquisition unit 211 acquires the activity amount. The activity amount acquisition unit 211 acquires the activity amount for each activity. The activity amount acquisition unit 211 can acquire information for identifying the operator who provided the activity or the used goods related to the activity together with the activity amount. The activity amount acquisition unit 211 can, for example, receive the activity amount from the user terminal 1. The activity amount acquisition unit 211 may, for example, access an external system that manages the activity amount to acquire the activity amount.

[0023] The emission amount calculation unit 212 calculates the emission amount of greenhouse gases based on the activity amount.

[0024] A common method for calculating emissions from activity levels is to multiply the activity level by an emission factor. An emission factor is a coefficient that represents the amount of greenhouse gas emissions per unit volume from a particular activity. For example, the emission factor for fuel consumption is determined for each type of fuel, and by multiplying the fuel consumption by that emission factor, the greenhouse gas emissions from fuel consumption can be calculated. The emission factor for electricity consumption is determined for each power company, and by multiplying the electricity consumption by that emission factor, the greenhouse gas emissions from electricity consumption can be calculated.

[0025] Furthermore, it is recommended that primary data measured for each business operator be used for emission factors. If primary data is provided, the emission factors may be stored separately in an emission factor storage unit. In this case, the emission factor storage unit can store information identifying the activity (e.g., activity ID), information identifying the business operator that provided the goods used in the activity (e.g., business operator ID), and the emission factors with respect to the primary data. The emission factor storage unit may also store emission factors in association with the type of activity with respect to the secondary data.

[0026] The emission calculation unit 212 can obtain an emission coefficient corresponding to the activity (or type of activity) related to the activity amount from the activity information storage unit 232 (or emission coefficient storage unit) and multiply it by the activity amount acquired by the activity amount acquisition unit 211.

[0027] If the emission factors for each business operator are stored in the emission factor storage unit, the emission calculation unit 212 can obtain the emission factor corresponding to the business operator that performed the activity from the emission factor storage unit and calculate the emission amount using the obtained emission factor.

[0028] The emissions output unit 213 outputs the calculated greenhouse gas emissions. The emissions output unit 213 outputs the total emissions, which are the sum of emissions for each of the multiple scopes. The emissions output unit 213 identifies the scope (scope and category in the case of Scope 3) corresponding to the activity related to the activity amount from the activity information storage unit 232. The emissions output unit 213 can calculate the total emissions by summing the emissions for each identified scope. The emissions output unit 213 can calculate the total emissions by summing the emissions for each category for Scope 3.

[0029] The output format from the emissions output unit 213 can support a variety of formats, including graphs to facilitate visual understanding, reports containing detailed analysis results, tables displaying numerical values, and data files for integration with other systems.

[0030] The scope reception unit 214 accepts the user's specification of the scope to be analyzed. The scope reception unit 214 accepts the specification of one of several scopes. The scope reception unit 214 can accept the specification of a category for scope 3.

[0031] A GUI-based selection method that allows for intuitive operation can be used to specify the scope. The scope receiving unit 214 can receive information from the user terminal 1 indicating the scope selected via the GUI. Alternatively, the scope may be specified via command line input or via an API for integration with other systems.

[0032] The detailed output unit 215 outputs detailed information regarding emissions. The detailed output unit 215 can output detailed information regarding emissions that fall within a specified scope.

[0033] The activity type reception unit 216 accepts the designation of one type of activity.

[0034] The detailed output unit 215 can output activity-type emissions, which are the sum of emissions for each activity type related to the activities that fall under the specified scope. The detailed output unit 215 can output activity-type emissions for Scope 3, which are the sum of emissions for each activity type related to the activities that fall under the specified category.

[0035] The detailed output unit 215 can output activity-specific emissions, which are the sum of emissions for each activity that falls under a specified scope and activity type. For Scope 3 emissions, the detailed output unit 215 can output activity-specific emissions, which are the sum of emissions for each activity that falls under a specified category.

[0036] The Business Operator Reception Department 217 accepts the designation of businesses that have provided activities corresponding to the activity type.

[0037] The detailed output unit 215 can output business-specific emissions, which are the sum of emissions related to activities that fall under a specified scope, a specified type of activity, and a specified business operator. For Scope 3 emissions, the detailed output unit 215 can output business-specific emissions, which are the sum of emissions for each business operator that provided activities that fall under a specified category.

[0038] <Operation> Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating the operation of the management server 2.

[0039] The management server 2 acquires the activity amount (S301), calculates greenhouse gas emissions based on the activity amount (S302), and outputs the total value of emissions for each scope (scope and category for Scope 3, the same applies hereinafter) (S303). When the management server 2 receives a scope specification (S304), it can output the emissions by activity type corresponding to the scope (S305), output the emissions by activity corresponding to the scope (S306), and output the emissions by business operator related to the activity corresponding to the scope (S307).

[0040] As described above, the information processing system of this embodiment makes it possible to display greenhouse gas emissions in a drill-down manner.

[0041] Although these embodiments have been described above, they are intended to facilitate understanding of the present invention and are not intended to limit its interpretation. The present invention can be modified and improved without departing from its spirit, and equivalents thereof are also included.

[0042] For example, the processing performed by each functional unit of the management server 2 described above may be executed by any of the functional units. Furthermore, different functional units may be added to perform some of the processing performed by each of the functional units described above. Also, the functional units of the management server 2 may be distributed across multiple computers.

[0043] Furthermore, the information stored in each memory unit of the management server 2 may be stored in any of the memory units. That is, the information stored in the multiple memory units mentioned above may be stored in a single memory unit, or a portion of the information stored in one memory unit may be stored in another memory unit.

[0044] <Example 1> In the embodiment described above, the emissions are drilled down, but the activity amount may also be displayed as a drill-down. In this case, the detailed output unit 215 can output the activity amount by activity type, which is the sum of the activity amounts for each activity type related to the activities that fall under the specified scope. The detailed output unit 215 can output the activity amount by activity type for emissions under scope 3, which is the sum of the activity amounts for each activity type related to the activities that fall under the specified category.

[0045] The detailed output unit 215 can output activity-specific activity amounts, which are the sum of activity amounts for each activity that falls under a specified scope and activity type. For Scope 3 emissions, the detailed output unit 215 can output activity-specific activity amounts, which are the sum of activity amounts for each activity that falls under a specified category.

[0046] The detailed output unit 215 can output activity amounts by business operator, which are the sum of activity amounts for activities that fall under the specified scope, specified activity type, and specified business operator. For Scope 3 emissions, the detailed output unit 215 can output activity amounts by business operator, which are the sum of activity amounts for each business operator that provided activities that fall under the specified category.

[0047] In this case, the unit conversion can be performed to ensure that the units of the activity levels are consistent before the summing process is carried out. The activity level information stored in the activity level storage unit 231 includes units, and the unit conversion of the activity levels can be performed to match the output units before the summing process is carried out.

[0048] <Modification 2> The emissions output unit 213 may also be configured to aggregate and compare emissions by industry or region.

[0049] In this case, the activity information stored in the activity information storage unit 232 can include information indicating the industry and region related to the activity. For example, it can store industry codes based on the Japan Standard Industrial Classification, or regional codes such as prefecture codes and municipality codes, in association with information that identifies the activity.

[0050] The emissions output unit 213 can aggregate emissions by scope, by industry or by region, using industry codes or regional codes. For example, for each of Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3, emissions can be totaled by industry indicated by the industry code, or by prefecture or municipality indicated by the regional code.

[0051] The emissions output unit 213 can output aggregated emissions by industry and by region in a way that allows for comparison. For example, emissions by industry and by region can be visually represented using bar graphs or pie charts, or the numerical values ​​can be displayed in a table format.

[0052] The emissions output unit 213 may also calculate average emissions by industry and location and output information indicating the degree of deviation from the average value.

[0053] The emissions output unit 213 may also be configured to generate and output rankings of emissions by industry or location.

[0054] Furthermore, the emissions output unit 213 may be configured to calculate and output the emission composition ratios for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions by industry and region.

[0055] <Variation 3> It would be helpful to compile and compare activity levels by industry or region.

[0056] The business information stored in the business information storage unit 233 can include information on the business operator's industry and location. The emissions output unit 213 can obtain the business operator's industry and location related to the activity amount acquired by the activity amount acquisition unit 211 from the business information storage unit 233 and aggregate the activity amount by industry and location.

[0057] The detailed output unit 215 can output a breakdown of activity volume by industry and a breakdown of activity volume by location for the specified scope.

[0058] The emissions output unit 213 may also calculate the average activity level by industry and location and output information indicating the degree of deviation from the average value.

[0059] The emissions output unit 213 may also be configured to generate and output rankings of activity levels by industry and location.

[0060] <Modification 4> A function can be added to allow for comparison of emissions with those of competitors. In this case, the management server 2 may further include a competitor data acquisition unit that acquires emission data from competitors, and a competitor comparison output unit that outputs the results of the comparison of emissions with those of competitors.

[0061] The competitor data acquisition unit acquires emissions data from competitors. For example, the competitor data acquisition unit can acquire emissions data by accessing an external system that manages the emissions data of competitors. Alternatively, it may acquire emissions data by receiving it from competitors.

[0062] The competitor comparison output unit outputs a comparison result comparing the company's emissions output by the emissions output unit 213 with the emissions of competitors acquired by the competitor data acquisition unit.

[0063] The competitor comparison output unit can compare the company's emissions with those of other companies in the same industry for each scope. In other words, for each of the multiple scopes, the competitor comparison output unit can compare the company's total emissions calculated by the emissions output unit 213 with the total emissions of other companies acquired by the competitor data acquisition unit.

[0064] The competitor comparison output unit can compare the company's emissions with those of competitors by scope and type of activity. Specifically, for each type of activity related to an activity that falls within a specified scope, the competitor comparison output unit can compare the company's activity-specific emissions calculated by the detailed output unit 215 with the activity-specific emissions of competitors acquired by the competitor data acquisition unit.

[0065] The competitor comparison output unit can compare the company's emissions with those of competitors by scope and activity. Specifically, for each activity corresponding to a specified scope and activity type, the competitor comparison output unit can compare the company's activity-specific emissions calculated by the detailed output unit 215 with the activity-specific emissions of competitors acquired by the competitor data acquisition unit.

[0066] The competitor comparison output unit can compare the company's emissions with those of other companies in the same industry, broken down by scope and business type. Specifically, the competitor comparison output unit can compare the company's individual business-level emissions calculated by the detailed output unit 215 with the individual business-level emissions of other companies acquired by the competitor data acquisition unit, for each business related to the activity that falls under the specified scope, specified activity type, and specified business type.

[0067] The output format for comparison results with competitors can be intuitively understandable to users, such as displaying the company's emissions and those of competitors side-by-side, showing the difference between the company's emissions and those of competitors based on the company's emissions, or displaying the ratio of competitors' emissions to the company's emissions.

[0068] <Modification 5> The information processing system according to this embodiment may include a function to provide advice for reducing emissions.

[0069] In this case, the management server 2 includes a countermeasure information storage unit that stores information regarding measures to reduce emissions (hereinafter referred to as "countermeasure information"). The countermeasure information storage unit can store information that identifies the emission reduction measures (e.g., countermeasure ID), the content of the measures, the industries to which the measures can be applied, the reduction rate expected from the application of the measures, and the costs required to implement the measures.

[0070] The management server 2 is equipped with an advice suggestion unit that proposes measures to reduce emissions. Based on the emissions calculated by the emissions output unit 213 and the countermeasure information stored in the countermeasure information storage unit, the advice suggestion unit can identify measures that are expected to reduce emissions and present the identified measures to the user.

[0071] For example, the advice-providing unit may prioritize suggesting countermeasures to activities or businesses whose emissions exceed a predetermined value. Alternatively, when a user requests countermeasures, the advice-providing unit may extract and present countermeasures applicable to the user's industry.

[0072] Methods for presenting countermeasures include displaying text data describing the countermeasures or outputting the countermeasures as audio. Additionally, the expected reduction amount, reduction rate, and the costs required for implementation may also be presented.

[0073] <Variation 6> The information processing system according to this embodiment may include a simulation function to calculate emissions when the business operator is changed.

[0074] In this modified example, an emission factor storage unit is provided, which can store emission factors in association with the activity ID and the business operator ID.

[0075] The management server 2 may include a business change acceptance unit and a simulation execution unit, both of which implement simulation functionality.

[0076] The service provider change acceptance department accepts the designation of the new service provider for the activity. For example, the service provider change acceptance department receives the activity ID and the new service provider ID from user terminal 1.

[0077] The simulation execution unit retrieves the emission factor corresponding to the specified business operator from the emission factor storage unit, and uses the retrieved emission factor to calculate the emissions for the specified activity. The simulation execution unit calculates the difference between the calculated emissions and the emissions before the change, and outputs the calculation result.

[0078] In this way, the impact on emissions when changing service providers can be easily understood. This provides information to help in selecting the most suitable service provider for reducing emissions.

[0079] Furthermore, the business operator change acceptance unit may be configured to accept changes in business operators for multiple activities at once. In this case, the simulation execution unit may calculate emissions for the specified multiple activities and calculate the change in total emissions.

[0080] Alternatively, the business change acceptance unit may present multiple candidate businesses and allow the user to select one from among them. In this case, the simulation execution unit can calculate emissions for each of the selected businesses and output the results so that they can be compared.
