FIG. 5 is a flowchart explaining an example of the operation of the aircraft control system 20 in the same embodiment. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram explaining the hardware configuration of each device according to the same embodiment.

[0017] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing the configuration of an aircraft control system 20 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The aircraft control system 20 includes an aircraft control device 21 and may also include at least a wearable device 22, a billing processing device 23, and an operation terminal 24. The aircraft control system 20 is communicatively connected to a weather information providing system 30 and a process management system 40 via a network such as the Internet. The aircraft control system 20 is communicatively connected to an aircraft 10 via wireless communication such as a wireless LAN. The aircraft control system 20 controls the aircraft 10 based on weather information (weather conditions) acquired from the weather information providing system 30 and work process information acquired from the process management system 40.

[0018] The aircraft 10 is, for example, a drone, and can send temperature-adjusted air (temperature-controlled air). The aircraft 10 may be equipped with an air conditioning device having a refrigeration cycle circuit in order to send the temperature-adjusted air. The aircraft 10 may also adjust the temperature of the air to be sent by means other than an air conditioning device, such as a cold storage material or a heat storage material. The aircraft 10 flies near a worker, for example, and sends temperature-adjusted air to the worker. The worker may be, for example, a worker at a construction site or a building site, or a security guard at a facility or an event.

[0019] The aircraft 10 may be notified by the aircraft control system 20 of any one of information indicating the worker's location, information indicating a signal emitted by the wearable device 22 worn by the worker, and information identifying the worker by image, or at least a combination of these, and may fly near the worker based on this information. The signal emitted by the wearable device 22 may be, for example, a Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy (BLE) beacon, and the aircraft 10 may be equipped with a receiving unit for receiving the signal. The information identifying the worker by image may be, for example, information identifying the worker's face, information identifying the worker's clothing, or information indicating an identification mark such as a two-dimensional barcode displayed on the worker's clothing (including a helmet, hat, armband, etc.), and the aircraft 10 may be equipped with an imaging unit for capturing an image of the worker's face, clothing, etc.

[0020] The weather information providing system 30 provides weather information. The weather information may include information indicating the amount of solar radiation or information indicating wind speed, or may be information indicating a forecast value, or information indicating a measured value or an estimated value.

[0021] The process management system 40 provides work process information indicating the work process for which each worker is responsible. The work process indicated by the work process information may include any of information indicating whether or not the work will be exposed to direct sunlight in each time period, information indicating whether or not there is ventilation, and information indicating whether or not equipment such as a helmet or dust mask is required.

[0022] The aircraft control device 21 controls the aircraft 10 based on weather information obtained from the weather information providing system 30 and work process information obtained from the process management system 40. The control content includes determining the worker to whom the aircraft 10 will fly, but may also include the temperature of the temperature-controlled air, the volume of the temperature-controlled air, or the distance between the aircraft 10 and the worker. The aircraft control device 21 may also use information provided by the wearable device 22 when controlling the aircraft 10. The aircraft control device 21 may be realized by one or more computers reading and executing a program.

[0023] The wearable device 22 is, for example, a smart watch or smart ring worn by the worker, and acquires information about the worker and provides the information to the aircraft control device 21. The information about the worker may include information indicating the worker's location and vital sign information about the worker. The vital sign information may include, for example, pulse rate, body temperature, blood pressure, or sweat rate. The wearable device 22 may be realized by one or more computers reading and executing a program.

[0024] The billing processor 23 counts the cumulative time (provision time) for which temperature-controlled air is supplied to each worker, and calculates the amount of charge for each worker based on that provision time. The amount of charge may be calculated, for example, by multiplying the provision time by the amount of charge per unit time. Furthermore, if the provision time reaches one or more thresholds, the amount of charge may be an amount associated with the reached thresholds. The billing processor 23 may be implemented by one or more computers reading and executing a program.

[0025] The operation terminal 24 is a human-machine interface of the aircraft control system 20, and includes output devices such as a display and a speaker, and input devices such as a touch panel, a keyboard, a mouse, etc. The operation terminal 24 may be realized by one or more computers reading and executing a program.

[0026] 2 is a schematic block diagram showing the configurations of the flying object control device 21, billing processing device 23, and operation terminal 24 in this embodiment. The flying object control device 21 includes a weather information acquisition unit 211, a work process acquisition unit 212, a vital sign information acquisition unit 213, a flight destination determination unit 214, a flight control unit 215, and an accumulated flight time storage unit 216. The billing processing device 23 includes a billing processing unit 231 and a billing information storage unit 232. The operation terminal 24 includes a notification unit 241.

[0027] The weather information acquisition unit 211 acquires weather information from the weather information providing system 30. The weather information may include at least information indicating the amount of solar radiation or information indicating the wind speed, and may be information indicating a forecast value, or information indicating a measured value or an estimated value. The weather information may also include information indicating the temperature, information indicating the humidity, or information indicating the degree of discomfort such as a discomfort index.

[0028] The work process acquisition unit 212 acquires work process information indicating the work process of each worker from the process management system 40. The work process indicated by the work process information may include any of information indicating whether or not the worker is exposed to direct sunlight in each time period, information indicating whether or not there is ventilation, and information indicating whether or not equipment such as a helmet or dust mask is required. The work process information may also include information indicating the worker's work location at each time period.

[0029] The flight destination determination unit 214 determines a worker to whom the flying object 10 will be sent, based at least on the weather information acquired by the weather information acquisition unit 211 and the work process information acquired by the work process acquisition unit 212. The flight destination determination unit 214 may calculate a value indicating the discomfort level of each worker based on the weather information and the work process information, and prioritize workers with higher values ​​as flight destinations. The flight destination determination unit 214 may change the method for calculating the value indicating the discomfort level depending on the temperature. For example, when the temperature indicated by the weather information exceeds a threshold value α1, the flight destination determination unit 214 may use a method for calculating a value indicating the discomfort level due to heat, and when the temperature is below a threshold value α2 (where α2≦α1), the flight destination determination unit 214 may use a method for calculating a value indicating the discomfort level due to cold.

[0030] For example, when calculating a value indicating the degree of discomfort due to heat, if the work process information indicates direct sunlight, the discomfort level may increase as the amount of sunlight indicated by the weather information increases. If the work process information indicates that there is ventilation, the discomfort level may decrease as the wind speed indicated by the weather information increases. If the work process information indicates that there is ventilation, the discomfort level may increase as the wind speed indicated by the weather information increases. If the work process information indicates that there is ventilation, the discomfort level may decrease as the wind speed indicated by the weather information increases. If the work process information indicates that there is ventilation, the discomfort level may decrease as the wind speed indicated by the weather information increases. If the work process information indicates that there is ventilation, the discomfort level may decrease. In addition, when determining the worker to be the destination, the flight destination determination unit 214 may also refer to the wishes of each worker (e.g., whether or not temperature-controlled air is required). This wish may be input from the wearable device 22. Furthermore, the flight destination determination unit 214 may change the flight destination based on the vital sign information when an abnormality in the physical condition of a worker is detected based on the vital sign information, etc. For example, the flight destination determination unit 214 may change the flight destination of the flying object 10, which had been set to a first worker, to a second worker based on the vital sign information of the second worker.

[0031] The vital sign information acquisition unit 213 acquires vital sign information of the worker determined by the flight destination determination unit 214 from the wearable device 22. Note that the flying object 10 may be equipped with a thermal camera, and the vital sign information acquisition unit 213 may acquire vital sign information from an image captured by the thermal camera.

[0032] The flight control unit 215 flies the aircraft 10 to the vicinity of the worker determined as the destination by the flight destination determination unit 214. The flight control unit 215 may fly the aircraft 10 to the vicinity of the worker based on information indicating the worker's position or work process information acquired from the wearable device 22 worn by the worker. The flight control unit 215 controls any of the distance between the aircraft 10 and the worker, the temperature of the air sent by the aircraft 10, and the volume of air sent by the aircraft 10, based on the vital sign information acquired by the vital sign information acquisition unit 213. Furthermore, the flight control unit 215 may use the value indicating the discomfort level calculated by the flight destination determination unit 214 when controlling any of the distance between the aircraft 10 and the worker, the temperature of the air sent by the aircraft 10, and the volume of air sent by the aircraft 10.

[0033] When the remaining charge of either the first battery used for flying the aircraft 10 or the second battery used for adjusting the air sent by the aircraft 10 falls below a threshold, the flight control unit 215 causes the aircraft 10 to fly to a set location (preset location) such as a charging dock. The flight control unit 215 may receive information indicating the remaining charges of these batteries from the aircraft 10, or may estimate the remaining charge of the first battery based on the flight time of the aircraft 10, or may estimate the remaining charge of the second battery based on the time, temperature, and air volume for sending air. When the flight control unit 215 causes the aircraft 10 to fly to the set location, the flight destination determination unit 214 sets the operator who was the destination of the aircraft 10 as the destination of the aircraft 10 that will replace the aircraft 10 to be flown to the set location.

[0034] The flight control unit 215 stores the cumulative flight time of each aircraft 10 in the cumulative flight time memory unit 216. When the cumulative flight time of the aircraft 10 exceeds a threshold value, the notification unit 241 notifies the operator of the aircraft control system 20 that it is time for maintenance of the aircraft 10. This notification is made, for example, by displaying on a display provided on the operation terminal 24.

[0035] The billing processing unit 231 acquires the time for which air was supplied to the worker and calculates a billing amount according to the supply time. The billing information storage unit 232 stores the billing amount calculated by the billing processing unit 231. The billing information storage unit 232 may further store the supply time.

[0036] 3 is a table showing an example of the contents stored in the cumulative flight time storage unit 216 in this embodiment. In the example of FIG. 3, the cumulative flight time storage unit 216 stores a cumulative flight time (minutes) of "2125" in association with the aircraft identification "001," and stores a cumulative flight time (minutes) of "856" in association with the aircraft identification "002." The aircraft identification is information that identifies the aircraft 10.

[0037] 4 is a table showing an example of the contents stored in the billing information storage unit 232 in this embodiment. In the example of FIG. 4, the billing information storage unit 232 stores, in association with the worker identification "A03," the provision time "55" and the billing amount "1100" for April XX, and the provision time "82" and the billing amount "1600" for May XX. Similarly, the billing information storage unit 232 stores, in association with the worker identification "B56," the provision time "70" and the billing amount "1400" for April XX, and the provision time "114" and the billing amount "2280" for May XX. The worker identification is information that identifies the worker.

[0038] 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the aircraft control system 20 in this embodiment. First, the weather information acquisition unit 211 acquires weather information from the weather information providing system 30 (step S1). Next, the work process acquisition unit 212 acquires work process information from the process management system 40 (step S2). Note that steps S1 and S2 may be performed in the reverse order or simultaneously.

[0039] Next, the flight destination determination unit 214 determines the worker to whom the aircraft 10 will be flown based on the weather information acquired in step S1 and the work process information acquired in step S2 (step S3). Next, the flight control unit 215 flies the aircraft 10 close to the worker determined in step S3 (step S4). Next, the flight control unit 215 determines whether the worker has finished their work and whether the worker has requested that temperature-controlled air not be blown (step S5).

[0040] When the worker has finished his / her work or when the worker requests that the blowing of temperature-controlled air is not necessary (step S5-Y), the flight control unit 215 compares the cumulative flight time of the air vehicle 10 with a threshold value, and if the cumulative flight time is less than the threshold value (step S6-Y), the billing processing unit 231 performs a billing process to add the time that the air vehicle 10 blows the temperature-controlled air to the worker's provided time (step S7). On the other hand, if the cumulative flight time is not less than the threshold value (step S6-N), the notification unit 241 notifies the operator of the air vehicle control system 20 that the cumulative flight time of the air vehicle 10 exceeds the threshold value and that it is time for maintenance of the air vehicle 10.

[0041] On the other hand, in step S5, even if the worker has finished his / her work, or if the worker has not requested that temperature-controlled air not be blown (step S5-N), the flight control unit 215 determines whether the remaining battery charge of the aircraft 10 is less than the threshold (step S9). If the remaining battery charge is less than the threshold (step S9-Y), the flight control unit 215 returns the aircraft 10 to the dock (charging dock) (step S10). Next, the flight destination determination unit 214 sets the worker, who was the destination of the aircraft 10 returned to the dock, as the destination of a replacement aircraft 10 for the aircraft 10 returned to the dock, and the flight control unit 215 flies the replacement aircraft 10 close to the worker (step S11), and returns to step S5.

[0042] Furthermore, if the result of the determination in step S9 indicates that the remaining battery charge is not less than the threshold (step S9-N), the vital sign information acquisition unit 213 acquires vital sign information from the wearable device 22 (step S12). Next, the flight control unit 215 resets the distance between the flying vehicle 10 and the operator, the temperature of the temperature-controlled air, and the airflow rate based on the vital sign information acquired in step S12 (step S13), and returns to step S5. For example, if heatstroke is suspected based on the vital sign information, this resetting may be performed by shortening the distance, lowering the temperature of the temperature-controlled air, or increasing the airflow rate of the temperature-controlled air. If hypothermia is suspected based on the vital sign information, this resetting may be performed by shortening the distance, raising the temperature of the temperature-controlled air, or increasing the airflow rate of the temperature-controlled air.

[0043] In this way, the aircraft control system 20 can control the aircraft 10 taking into account weather conditions.
