[0005] In view of the above facts, the present invention has been made, and an object thereof is to provide a management system and a management program capable of determining whether a management target element is caused by an implementation item.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of a management system and a management program according to this invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] 〔I〕Basic Concept of the Embodiment First, the basic concept of the embodiment will be described. The embodiment relates to a management system and a management program. The management system according to the present invention is a system that manages management target elements in a management target area, and includes, for example, acquisition means and determination means.

[0018] The "management target element" is an element to be managed by the management system, and includes, for example, concepts such as sound (including noise), vibration, dust, odor, electromagnetic wave, magnetic field, flora, harmful substances (such as VOCs and asbestos), and exhaust gas.

[0019] "Managing management target elements" includes, for example, making a determination regarding a management target element, or outputting various types of information regarding a management target element.

[0020] The "acquisition means" is a means for acquiring first management target element information that specifies the physical quantity of the management target element in the management target area. Note that the "first management target element information that specifies the physical quantity of the management target element in the management target area" is a concept that indicates information used to specify the physical quantity of the management target element in the management target area. As an example, it is a concept that includes information indicating the physical quantity of the management target element or information used to specify the physical quantity of the management target element, etc.

[0021] The "judgment means" is a means for performing a cause judgment to determine whether or not the management target element specified by the first management target element information acquired by the acquisition means is caused by an implementation item performed in an area other than the management target area.

[0022] The "management target area" is an area that is the target of management of the management target element, and is a concept that includes, for example, an area inside a building during or outside of renovation, or any other arbitrary area, etc. Note that the "area" is a concept that includes, for example, a space having a certain extent.

[0023] The "other area" is an area other than the management target area, and is a concept that includes, for example, an area where an implementation item is being performed. The "other area" is a concept that includes, for example, an area other than the management target area inside a building during or outside of renovation, or an area other than the management target area within any other arbitrary area.

[0024] The "implementation item" is an item that is performed at least within another area, and is, for example, an item that can be a factor for generating a management target element, and is a concept that includes, for example, construction work, manufacturing, experiments, and performances, etc.

[0025] In the following embodiments, we will describe the case where the "managed area" and "other areas" are different rooms in a common building undergoing renovation work, and the "implementation item" is the construction work. We will also describe the case where the "managed elements" are sound and vibration. That is, for example, we will describe the case where sound and vibration generated by renovation work in another area and transmitted to the managed area are to be managed.

[0026] [II] Specific details of the embodiment Next, the specific details of the embodiment will be described.

[0027] Figure 1 is an example of a building undergoing renovation work to which this embodiment is applied, and Figure 2 is a block diagram that functionally illustrates the information processing system.

[0028] The number and placement of the relay terminal 2, vibration measuring device 3, and sound receiving device 4 in Figure 2 are arbitrary, but in this embodiment, we will describe the case in which they are applied as illustrated in Figure 1. Also, in Figure 1, one representative example of each of these devices is shown.

[0029] (Building under renovation) This embodiment describes the application of the information processing system 100 to a building undergoing renovation work, as shown in Figure 1. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1, we will describe a scenario where, among the six rooms in the building undergoing renovation work, including room 101, construction is underway in room 102 and a business negotiation is taking place in room 301. We will then describe the management of the sound and vibration caused by the construction work in room 102 that is transmitted to room 301.

[0030] In other words, for example, let's consider the case where Room 301, which is hatched in Figure 1, is the "managed area," and Room 102 is the "other area."

[0031] (composition) First, the configuration of the information processing system will be described. The information processing system 100 in Figures 1 and 2 is a system that includes the aforementioned management system and comprises, for example, a user terminal 1, a relay terminal 2, a vibration measuring device 3, a sound collection device 4, and a server device 5.

[0032] (Configuration - User Terminals) The user terminal 1 in Figure 2 is a terminal device carried by a user (e.g., an administrator), and is, for example, a tablet or a smartphone. The configuration of this user terminal 1 can be a known configuration, and for example, although not shown, it includes a communication unit, a touchpad, a display, a recording unit, and a control unit.

[0033] The communication unit is a communication means for communicating with external devices (for example, server device 5). The touchpad is an operating means for receiving various operation inputs from the user. The display is an image display means for displaying various images, and for example, the touchpad and the display are integrally formed as a touch panel. The recording unit is a recording means for recording programs and various data. The control unit is a control means for controlling the user terminal 1, and is configured using, for example, a CPU, RAM, and internal memory such as ROM.

[0034] (Configuration - Relay Terminal) The relay terminal 2 in Figure 2 is a device that performs wireless or wired communication with external devices (for example, the vibration measuring device 3, the sound receiving device 4, and the server device 5). The relay terminal 2 is a device that collects information from the vibration measuring device 3 and the sound receiving device 4 and transmits it to the server device 5, that is, a device that relays information from the vibration measuring device 3 and the sound receiving device 4.

[0035] This relay terminal 2 can be configured arbitrarily as long as it has the above-mentioned function (relay function), but for example, it can be configured by implementing the relay function in a smartphone or tablet device.

[0036] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, for example, a relay terminal 21 located in room 202 receives information from the vibration measuring device 31 and the sound receiving device 41 and transmits the received information to the server device 5, and a relay terminal 22 located in room 102 receives information from the vibration measuring device 32 and the sound receiving device 42 and transmits the received information to the server device 5. The relay terminal 22 may be implemented by installing a relay function on a mobile terminal carried by a worker performing construction work in room 102. That is, a mobile terminal (smartphone or tablet, etc.) of a worker performing construction work in room 102 may be used as the relay terminal 22, or another terminal may be used as the relay terminal 22.

[0037] (Configuration - Vibration measuring device) The vibration measuring device 3 in Figure 2 is a vibration measuring means for measuring vibration acceleration levels, etc. The configuration of this vibration measuring device 3 is arbitrary, but for example, it can be configured using a known vibration sensor. The term "vibration acceleration levels, etc." refers to a concept that indicates one or more of the following: vibration level (i.e., magnitude of vibration, also called "vibration level"), vibration waveform, or vibration amplitude. In this embodiment, the case in which "vibration acceleration levels, etc." includes at least the vibration level (i.e., vibration level) will be explained as an example.

[0038] In this embodiment, the vibration measuring device 3 is configured to store equipment identification information (hereinafter, the identification information is also simply referred to as "ID") for uniquely identifying itself, to repeatedly perform measurements at predetermined measurement time intervals (for example, several milliseconds to several hundred milliseconds), and to repeatedly wirelessly transmit vibration-related information, including vibration acceleration level information indicating the newly measured measurement result such as the vibration acceleration level, and its own identification ID, at predetermined transmission time intervals (for example, several seconds).

[0039] Here, we assume that, for example, as shown in Figure 1, the vibration measuring devices 31 and 32 are assigned the equipment IDs "ID031" and "ID032". Furthermore, we assume that the vibration measuring devices 31 and 32 are installed on pillars in Room 201 and Room 102, respectively.

[0040] (Configuration - Sound recording device) The sound-collecting device 4 in Figure 2 is a sound-collecting means for measuring the level of sound (i.e., the loudness of the sound). The configuration of this sound-collecting device 4 is arbitrary, but for example, it can be configured by including elements that constitute a known microphone.

[0041] In this embodiment, the sound collection device 4 is configured to store an equipment ID for unique identification of itself, to repeatedly perform measurements at predetermined measurement time intervals (for example, several milliseconds to several hundred milliseconds), and to repeatedly wirelessly transmit sound-related information, including sound pressure level information indicating the sound level which is the newly measured measurement result and its own identification ID, at predetermined transmission time intervals (for example, several seconds).

[0042] Here, we assume that, for example, as shown in Figure 1, the sound-collecting devices 41 and 42 are assigned the equipment IDs "ID041" and "ID042". Furthermore, we assume that the sound-collecting devices 41 and 42 are installed in rooms 301 and 102.

[0043] (Configuration - Server Equipment) The server device 5 in Figure 2 is a management system and includes, for example, a communication unit 51, a recording unit 52, and a control unit 53.

[0044] (Configuration - Server device - Communications unit) The communication unit 51 in Figure 2 is a communication means for communicating with external devices (for example, user terminal 1 and relay terminal 2). This communication unit 51 can be configured with a known communication circuit.

[0045] (Configuration - Server device - Recording unit) The recording unit 52 in Figure 2 is a recording means for recording programs and various data necessary for the operation of the server device 5. This recording unit 52 stores, for example, learned models for vibration and learned models for sound, and also includes an equipment information DB 521.

[0046] (Configuration - Server device - Recording unit - Vibration-trained model) The "Vibration-trained model" in Figure 2 is a machine learning model used for determining the cause of vibration. Specifically, it is a model that determines whether or not vibration is caused by construction work based on patterns of changes in vibration acceleration levels, etc.

[0047] Furthermore, "cause determination" is a concept that indicates whether or not the managed element is caused by an action being carried out in another area, and in this embodiment, it is a concept that indicates whether or not the sound or vibration is caused by construction work being carried out in another area.

[0048] The "Vibration Training Model" is a model that, when inputting vibration acceleration level information (i.e., vibration acceleration level information that shows the pattern of changes in vibration acceleration level over a certain period of time), outputs information indicating whether the noise or vibration corresponding to the input vibration acceleration level information is caused by construction work. This vibration training model is a model generated by machine learning based on the fact that the pattern of changes in vibration acceleration level caused by construction work differs from the pattern of changes in vibration acceleration level caused by other factors (for example, vibration from a vacuum cleaner, vibration from walking, etc.).

[0049] The specific method for storing this vibration-trained model is arbitrary, but for example, it may be stored by generating a vibration-trained model through so-called machine learning with training data, which is performed using vibration acceleration level information for a certain period of time and information indicating whether or not the vibration acceleration level information is due to construction work, and then inputting it into the server device 5.

[0050] (Configuration - Server device - Recording unit - Pre-trained model for sound) The "Sound-Trained Model" in Figure 2 is a machine learning model used for cause determination. Specifically, it is a model that determines whether a sound is caused by construction work based on patterns of changes in sound levels.

[0051] The "Sound-Trained Model" is a model that, when inputting sound pressure level information indicating the level of sound over a certain period of time (i.e., sound pressure level information showing the pattern of changes in sound pressure level over a certain period of time), outputs information indicating whether the sound corresponding to the input sound pressure level information is caused by construction work. This sound-trained model is a model generated by machine learning based on the fact that the pattern of changes in sound level caused by construction work differs from the pattern of changes in sound level caused by other factors (for example, the sound corresponding to conversations during business negotiations, other everyday sounds, etc.).

[0052] The specific method for storing this trained sound model is arbitrary, but for example, it may be stored by generating a trained sound model by performing so-called machine learning with training data, which involves using sound pressure level information for a certain period of time and information indicating whether or not the sound pressure level information is due to construction work, and then inputting it into the server device 5.

[0053] In this embodiment, we have described the case where two types of models are used separately: a pre-trained model for vibration and a pre-trained model for sound. However, the system is not limited to this, and for example, the functions of these models may be integrated into a single model, and the cause determination may be performed using this single model. In this case, the "single model" is a model that, when sound pressure level information or vibration acceleration level information for a certain period of time is input, outputs information indicating whether the sound corresponding to the input sound pressure level information or vibration corresponding to the vibration acceleration level information is caused by construction work. This model may also be generated and stored using machine learning with training data, as described above.

[0054] (Configuration - Server device - Recording unit - Equipment information DB) The equipment information DB521 in Figure 2 is an equipment information storage means for storing equipment information. Figure 3 is an example of equipment information. "Equipment information" refers to information about various devices (also called equipment) included in the information processing system 100, and for example, the information of each item shown in Figure 3 is interconnected.

[0055] The equipment ID in Figure 3 is the aforementioned equipment ID (in Figure 3, it is "ID031," etc., which identifies the vibration measuring device 31 in Figure 1). The type information in Figure 3 indicates the type of equipment (in Figure 3, it is "Vibration Measuring Device," etc.). The installation location information in Figure 3 indicates the installation location where each piece of equipment is installed. This installation location information can be any information as long as it allows the location within the building under renovation in Figure 1 to be determined. For example, the floor number and the coordinates of an arbitrary planar coordinate system for each floor may be used, or other information may be used. For the sake of explanation, the installation location information in Figure 3 is shown as "D031," etc.

[0056] The top row of information in Figure 3 indicates that the type of vibration measuring device 31 identified by "ID031" is a "vibration measuring device," and that the installation location of the vibration measuring device 31 is the location indicated by "D031." This equipment information is stored, for example, when a user such as an administrator inputs the information into the server device 5.

[0057] (Configuration - Server device - Control unit) The control unit 53 in Figure 2 is a control means for controlling the server device 5, and functionally, it comprises, for example, an acquisition unit 531, a determination unit 532, and a management unit 533. The acquisition unit 531 is an acquisition means for acquiring first managed element information that identifies the physical quantity of a managed element in the managed area. The determination unit 532 is a determination means that performs a cause determination to determine whether the managed element identified in the first managed element information acquired by the acquisition means is due to an action being taken in an area other than the managed area. The management unit 533 is a management means that outputs alarm information regarding the managed element based on the level of the managed element identified in the first managed element information acquired by the acquisition means and the determination result of the determination means. The processing performed by each part of this control unit 53 will be described later.

[0058] In this embodiment, vibration acceleration level and sound pressure level may be interpreted as corresponding to "physical quantities of the managed element."

[0059] (process) Next, the alarm processing performed by the information processing system 100 according to this embodiment will be described.

[0060] Figure 4 is a flowchart of the alarm processing (in the following descriptions of each process, steps will be abbreviated as "S"). "Alarm processing" is, in general terms, a process performed by the server device 5 that issues an alarm for vibration or sound caused by construction work, and includes, for example, a process corresponding to cause determination.

[0061] This alarm process can be executed at any time, but for example, it will be repeatedly executed after the power to each device of the information processing system 100 is turned on, and the explanation will begin from the point when the alarm process is initiated.

[0062] Here, we will explain using the example of a case where construction is being carried out in Room 102. The server device 5 stores structural information showing the structure of the building under renovation as shown in Figure 1, as well as material information for each component of the building. It also has information set up to set Room 301 as a managed area and Room 102 as another area where construction is being carried out. The server device 5 is able to determine the location of the managed area and other areas within the building under renovation.

[0063] ===SA1=== In SA1 in Figure 4, the acquisition unit 531 receives and acquires vibration-related information (i.e., information including vibration acceleration level information and the identification ID of the measured vibration measuring device 3) and sound-related information (i.e., information including sound pressure level information and the identification ID of the measured sound receiving device 4) transmitted from the vibration measuring device 3 and the sound receiving device 4 via the relay terminal 2.

[0064] Here, for example, the relay terminal 21 in Figure 1 receives and acquires vibration-related information and sound-related information, including vibration acceleration level information and "ID031", and sound pressure level information and "ID041".

[0065] Furthermore, for example, the relay terminal 22 in Figure 1 receives and acquires vibration-related information and sound-related information, including vibration acceleration level information and "ID032", and sound pressure level information and "ID042".

[0066] ===SA2=== In SA2 in Figure 4, the management unit 533 determines whether the vibration level, such as the vibration acceleration level corresponding to the vibration-related information acquired in SA1, or the sound level corresponding to the sound-related information acquired in SA1, is above a predetermined level. Specifically, although arbitrary, for example, threshold values ​​for vibration acceleration levels and threshold values ​​for sound pressure levels are recorded in the recording unit 52.

[0067] A "vibration acceleration level threshold" is a threshold value used to determine whether the vibration level is above a predetermined level. For example, in Room 301, which is the area under management, the threshold value is set considering factors such as the degree to which the vibration interferes with the activities of users within the building, such as business meetings.

[0068] A "sound pressure level threshold" is a threshold value used to determine whether the sound level is above a predetermined level. For example, in Room 301, which is the area under management, the threshold value is set considering factors such as the degree to which the sound interferes with the activities of users within the building, such as business meetings.

[0069] =Specific Processing= While the specific processing of SA2 is optional, we will explain, for example, the case where the determination is made using the measurement results from the equipment closest to the managed area. First, by referring to the structural information of the building under renovation in Figure 1 and the installation location information of the equipment information in Figure 3, the equipment IDs of the vibration measuring device 3 and sound receiving device 4 closest to Room 301, which is the managed area, are identified. Next, the vibration-related information and sound-related information that include the identified equipment ID are identified from each piece of information acquired in SA1, and the vibration acceleration level information and sound pressure level information included in the identified vibration-related information and sound-related information are identified. Next, based on the identified vibration acceleration level information and sound pressure level information, the vibration level and sound level when transmitted to Room 301, which is the managed area, are estimated and identified. Next, the estimated and identified vibration level is compared with the threshold for vibration acceleration level etc. (not shown) of the recording unit 52, and the estimated and identified sound level is compared with the threshold for sound pressure level (not shown) of the recording unit 52.

[0070] The specific method for estimating the vibration and sound levels transmitted to Room 301, which is the area under management, is arbitrary. For example, the level may be estimated based on predetermined calculations performed using structural and material information of the building under renovation and installation location information of each piece of equipment (Figure 3). The predetermined calculations here may be known calculations, such as those using calculation formulas that take into account that vibration and sound levels attenuate with increasing distance, and that the degree of attenuation is determined according to the material.

[0071] If the vibration level is below the threshold for vibration acceleration level, and the sound level is below the threshold for sound pressure level, it is determined that the vibration level or sound level is not above the predetermined level (SA2 NO), and the process ends. On the other hand, if the vibration level is above the threshold for vibration acceleration level, or if the sound level is above the threshold for sound pressure level, it is determined that the vibration level or sound level is above the predetermined level (SA2 YES), and the process proceeds to SA3.

[0072] In practice, since vibration acceleration level information and sound pressure level information include multiple vibration and sound levels for a certain period of time, the determination can be made by comparing the statistical value (e.g., average value) of these multiple levels with each threshold, or it can be determined that the level is above a predetermined level if at least one of them is above each threshold.

[0073] =Example Processing= Here, for example, by referring to the structural information of the building under renovation in Figure 1 and the installation location information of the equipment in Figure 3, the equipment IDs "ID031" and "ID041" of the vibration measuring device 31 and sound receiving device 41 closest to Room 301, which is the area under management, are identified. Next, the vibration-related information and sound-related information that include the identified "ID031" and "ID041" from the information acquired by SA1 are identified, and the vibration acceleration level information and sound pressure level information included in the identified vibration-related information and sound-related information are identified. Next, based on the vibration acceleration level information associated with "ID031" and the sound pressure level information associated with "ID041", the vibration level and sound level when transmitted to Room 301, which is the area under management, are estimated and identified.

[0074] In particular, regarding the sound level, it may be determined by performing calculations as described above, but since the sound collection device 41 is installed in room 301, the sound level indicated by the sound pressure level information included in the aforementioned sound-related information may be determined directly without performing any calculations.

[0075] Next, the identified vibration level is compared with the threshold value (not shown) for vibration acceleration level of the recording unit 52, and the identified sound level is compared with the threshold value (not shown) for sound pressure level of the recording unit 52. Based on the comparison results, the determination is made as described above.

[0076] ===SA3=== In SA3 of Figure 4, the determination unit 532 determines, based on the vibration-related information and sound-related information acquired in SA1, whether the vibration or sound whose respective levels are specified in the vibration-related information and sound-related information is caused by construction work being carried out in another area, Room 102. Specifically, based on the processing result of SA2, it performs the following first to third processes.

[0077] =First process= The first process is for cases where the vibration level in SA2 is above the threshold for vibration acceleration level, etc. In this case, the vibration acceleration level information identified in SA2 (i.e., information showing the measurement result from the equipment closest to the managed area) is acquired, and the acquired vibration acceleration level information is input into the vibration learning model (Figure 2) of the recording unit 52. If the vibration learning model outputs information indicating that it is not caused by the construction, it is determined that it is not caused by the construction (SA3 NO), and the process ends. On the other hand, if the vibration learning model outputs information indicating that it is caused by the construction, it is determined that it is caused by the construction (SA3 YES), and the process moves to SA4.

[0078] =Second process= The second process is for cases where the sound level in SA2 is above the sound pressure level threshold. In this case, the sound pressure level information identified in SA2 (i.e., information showing the measurement result from the device closest to the managed area) is acquired, and the acquired sound pressure level information is input to the sound-learned model (Figure 2) in the recording unit 52. If the sound-learned model outputs information indicating that it is not caused by the construction, it is determined that it is not caused by the construction (SA3 NO), and the process ends. On the other hand, if the sound-learned model outputs information indicating that it is caused by the construction, it is determined that it is caused by the construction (SA3 YES), and the process moves to SA4.

[0079] =Third process= The third process is for cases where, in SA2, the vibration level is above the threshold for vibration acceleration level, etc., and the sound level is above the threshold for vibration acceleration level, etc. In this case, the vibration level is processed in the same way as in the first process, and the sound level is processed in the same way as in the second process. If both the vibration trained model and the sound trained model output information indicating that the issue is not caused by the construction, it is determined that the issue is not caused by the construction (SA3 NO), and the process ends. On the other hand, if at least one of the vibration trained model or the sound trained model outputs information indicating that the issue is caused by the construction, it is determined that the issue is caused by the construction (SA3 YES), and the process proceeds to SA4.

[0080] ===SA4=== In SA4 in Figure 4, the management unit 533 outputs alarm information related to sound or vibration. Specifically, although optional, for example, it may output alarm information (alarm message or alarm sound, etc.) indicating that sound or vibration from construction may be transmitted to Room 301, which is the managed area, and is causing a nuisance (i.e., interference), via the user terminal 1, or via the terminal of a worker performing work in another area. If the mobile terminal of the worker performing construction in Room 102 in Figure 1 is the relay terminal 22, the alarm information may also be output via the relay terminal 22.

[0081] Here, for example, in SA3, if it is determined that the vibration is caused by construction based on the output of the trained vibration model, an alarm information related to vibration may be output. Similarly, if it is determined that the sound is caused by construction based on the output of the trained sound model, an alarm information related to sound may be output. This completes the alarm processing.

[0082] (Effects of this embodiment) According to this embodiment, by performing a cause determination to determine whether or not the issue is caused by construction work being carried out in an area other than the area under management, it becomes possible to determine, for example, whether or not the issue is caused by vibration or noise construction, which are elements under management.

[0083] [III] Modifications of the Embodiment While embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the specific configurations and means of the present invention can be arbitrarily modified and improved within the scope of the technical ideas of each invention described in the claims.

[0084] (Regarding alarm handling) Furthermore, while Figure 4's SA2 describes a case where the determination is made using the measurement results from the device closest to the managed area, this is not the only option. For example, the determination may be made using the measurement results from the device furthest from the managed area, or from a device installed at any other location, or from the measurement results from all devices.

[0085] (Regarding the determination of causes related to construction work (Part 1)) Furthermore, while Figure 4's SA3 describes a case where each trained model is used to determine whether or not a problem is caused by construction, it is not limited to this. For example, the system may be configured to determine whether or not a problem is caused by construction based on the sound level or vibration level in Room 102, which is another area where construction is taking place.

[0086] Specifically, in SA3 of Figure 4, for example, the case where a determination is made using the measurement results from the equipment closest to another area will be explained. First, the equipment IDs of the vibration measuring device 3 and sound receiving device 4 closest to room 102, which is another area, are identified by referring to the structural information of the building under renovation in Figure 1 and the installation location information of the equipment information in Figure 3. Next, the vibration-related information and sound-related information that include the identified equipment ID are identified from each piece of information acquired in SA1, and the vibration acceleration level information and sound pressure level information included in the identified vibration-related information and sound-related information are identified. Next, the vibration level and sound level in room 102, which is another area, are estimated and identified based on the identified vibration acceleration level information and sound pressure level information. Next, the estimated and identified vibration level is compared with the construction determination threshold for vibration acceleration level etc. (not shown) of the recording unit 52, and the sound level indicated by the estimated and identified sound pressure level information is compared with the construction determination threshold for sound pressure level (not shown) of the recording unit 52.

[0087] The "construction judgment threshold for vibration acceleration level, etc." is a threshold used to determine whether the level of vibration generated by construction in other areas is relatively high or not. In other words, it is a threshold used to determine whether the vibration in the managed area is caused by construction in other areas, and it is recorded in the recording unit 52. The specific value of this "construction judgment threshold for vibration acceleration level, etc." is arbitrary, but for example, it may be set to a value lower than the aforementioned "threshold for vibration acceleration level, etc."

[0088] Furthermore, the "sound pressure level construction judgment threshold" is a threshold used to determine whether the sound level generated by construction in other areas is relatively high or not. In other words, it is a threshold used to determine whether the sound in the managed area is caused by construction in other areas, and it is recorded in the recording unit 52. The specific value of this "sound pressure level construction judgment threshold" is arbitrary, but for example, it may be set to a value lower than the aforementioned "sound pressure level threshold".

[0089] Furthermore, while the specific method for estimating the vibration and sound levels in Room 102, which is another area, is arbitrary, for example, it may be possible to perform predetermined calculations based on the structural and material information of the building under renovation and the installation location information of each piece of equipment (Figure 3), and then estimate based on the calculation results. In addition, the aforementioned construction judgment thresholds for vibration acceleration levels and sound pressure levels are thresholds for determining whether the vibration or sound levels generated during construction are relatively high or not.

[0090] If the vibration level is below the construction judgment threshold for vibration acceleration level, etc., and the sound level is below the construction judgment threshold for sound pressure level, it is determined that the vibration and sound levels generated by the construction in Room 102, which is another area, are not relatively large, and therefore it is determined that the noise is not caused by the construction (SA3 NO). On the other hand, if the vibration level is above the construction judgment threshold for vibration acceleration level, etc., or if the sound level is above the construction judgment threshold for sound pressure level, it is determined that the vibration or sound levels generated by the construction in Room 102, which is another area, are relatively large, and therefore it is determined that the noise is caused by the construction.

[0091] In the example shown in Figure 1, since the vibration measuring device 32 and the sound receiving device 42 are installed in Room 102, it is also possible to determine whether or not the noise is due to construction work based on the comparison result between the vibration level indicated by the vibration acceleration level information included in the vibration-related information from the vibration measuring device 32 and the construction judgment threshold for vibration acceleration level, and the comparison result between the sound level indicated by the sound pressure level information included in the sound-related information from the sound receiving device 42 and the construction judgment threshold for sound pressure level.

[0092] Furthermore, the vibration acceleration level information (i.e., information that identifies the vibration level in other regions) and sound pressure level information (i.e., information that identifies the sound level in other regions) described in this modified example may be interpreted as corresponding to the "second managed element information." Also, the vibration acceleration level information (i.e., information that identifies the vibration level in the managed region) and sound pressure level information (i.e., information that identifies the sound level in the managed region) identified in SA2 of Figure 4 may be interpreted as corresponding to the "first managed element information."

[0093] (Regarding the determination of the cause of the construction work (Part 2)) Furthermore, as described in the embodiments, a method using each trained model for determination and a method using the method described in "(Determination of Construction Cause (Part 1))" above may be combined to determine whether or not the cause is due to construction. Specifically, the system may be configured to determine that the cause is due to construction only when both methods determine that it is due to construction, or it may be configured to determine that the cause is due to construction only when at least one of the methods determines that it is due to construction.

[0094] (Regarding other matters) In SA3 of Figure 2, if it is determined that the noise is caused by construction, the system may be configured to further determine whether it is caused by airborne noise or fixed noise. Specifically, although this is optional, the system may be configured to make this determination using a predetermined model generated by machine learning, or it may be configured to make this determination using other methods.

[0095] Furthermore, the output of alarm information may be configured to be divided into pre-warning information and main alarm information. For example, in SA4, pre-warning information may be output first, and if the determination that the incident is caused by construction continues for a predetermined time or longer, main alarm information may be output. Main alarm information refers to alarm information with a higher alarm level than pre-warning information. Note that "alarm level" may be interpreted as a concept corresponding to the level of vigilance.

[0096] Furthermore, the server device 5 and the tools used by the workers in Room 102 are capable of communication, and the power to the tools can be remotely controlled from the server device 5. In addition to or instead of outputting alarm information from SA4, the management unit 533 may be configured to turn off the power to the tools and stop them.

[0097] Furthermore, the vibration measuring device 3 and sound receiving device 4 in Figure 2 may be configured to communicate with the relay terminal 2 via a wired connection, or they may be configured to communicate wirelessly. Alternatively, the relay terminal 2 may be omitted, and the vibration measuring device 3 and sound receiving device 4 may be configured to directly transmit information to the server device 5 via a communication network.

[0098] Furthermore, the installation location of the vibration measuring device 3 can be changed as desired; for example, it may be installed in Room 301, which is the area to be managed. Also, the installation location of the vibration measuring device 3 is arbitrary, as long as it is installed within the building structure; for example, it may be installed on the floor, beams, walls, columns, etc.

[0099] Furthermore, it is not mandatory to install the vibration measuring device 3 and the sound recording device 4 in room 102. For example, these devices may be installed only in room 301, which is part of the controlled area, or only in rooms 201 and 202. Conversely, these devices may be installed only in room 102. In this case, the control values ​​in the controlled area will be evaluated based on the measurements taken by each device.

[0100] Furthermore, if measurement and processing can be performed by the sound collection device 4 or the vibration measuring device 3, the relay terminal 2 can be any device as long as it has the ability to communicate with the network, for example, a Wi-Fi router may be used.

[0101] Furthermore, when managing elements other than vibration and sound (e.g., dust, VOCs, etc.), environmental measuring instruments, which are devices for measuring the physical quantities of these elements, may be installed, and the elements may be managed based on the measurements of these environmental measuring instruments. For example, known instruments such as dust measuring instruments and VOC measuring instruments may be used as these environmental measuring instruments. The installation location of these environmental measuring instruments is arbitrary; for example, they may be installed in room 301, or any number of them may be installed in any location.
