Description

Mounting Structure of Transmitter 【0001】 The present disclosure relates to a mounting structure of a transmitter. 【0002】 In recent years, wireless power transfer (WPT) has been used in various fields. By utilizing WPT, problems such as wiring burden, breakage, and maintenance can be avoided compared to the case of wired power transmission. Conventional WPT transmitters generally have a configuration where they are fixed to the ceiling surface and directly embedded (see, for example, Patent Document 1). 【0003】 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2024-097479 【0004】 However, in, for example, large commercial facilities, logistics warehouses, arena facilities, etc., the ceiling height may be 10 m or more, and it is difficult to install the transmitter at a desired position. In facilities with a skeleton structure where there is no ceiling material, there may be no surface on which the transmitter can be fixed. Also, when the transmitter has to be installed at the top of the ceiling, there is a problem that the distance from the receiver increases, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of WPT. 【0005】 In such a situation, there is a need for a mounting structure that can fix the transmitter at an appropriate height and position with a simple configuration without significantly modifying the existing equipment. 【0006】 Therefore, the present disclosure has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a mounting structure of a transmitter that can efficiently realize WPT with a simple configuration. 【0007】 According to the present disclosure, there is provided a mounting structure of a transmitter used for wireless power transfer, comprising at least any one of a duct fixing jig fixed to a side surface of a wiring duct, a duct mounting wire attached to the wiring duct, and a column fixing jig fixed to a column, wherein the transmitter is fixed to at least any one of the duct fixing jig, the duct mounting wire, and the column fixing jig. 【0008】According to this disclosure, it is possible to provide a transmitter mounting structure that enables efficient WPT implementation with a simple configuration. 【0009】This is an overall configuration diagram of an air conditioning system, an example of the present disclosure.

[Summary] No. 1 [Classification] Automatic control of building equipment [Problems] 1. Ceiling height and position of measurement point on the air conditioning side ● Ceiling height: In rooms with high ceilings, heat tends to move upward, and the temperature near the ceiling may differ from the average temperature of the entire room. ● Measurement point on the air conditioning side: If the measurement point is installed near the ceiling, it measures the temperature near the ceiling rather than the average temperature of the entire room, resulting in errors. 2. Measurement method of return air ● Mixing of return air: When return air is mixed with outside air and measured, the temperature of the outside air is mixed in, making it difficult to measure the accurate indoor temperature. ● Measurement at one location: Measuring return air at one location may not reflect the temperature distribution of the entire room. 3. Internal load due to people ● Heat generation by people: In rooms where people are present, the temperature changes upward due to heat generation from the human body. This internal load is difficult to predict and reduces the accuracy of temperature control. 4. Temperature changes due to equipment ● Equipment such as refrigerators: Equipment such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and heaters can cause the room temperature to drop or rise. The temperature distribution changes depending on the operating patterns and locations of these devices. [Solutions] ● Multi-point measurement: Install multiple measurement points to accurately measure the average temperature of the entire room. ● Appropriate location of measurement points: Install measurement points away from the ceiling, in the center of the room or in areas where people are active. ● Separation and measurement of return air: Reduce errors due to mixing by measuring return air separately from outside air. ● Prediction of internal load: Predict human activity patterns and equipment operating schedules to adjust temperature control. ● Introduction of automatic control system: Introduction of a learning-type automatic control system to adjust room temperature changes in real time.[Claim] A temperature measurement system for a wireless power supply system comprising a power transmitter and a power receiver, wherein power receivers are installed at multiple measurement points to accurately measure the average temperature of the entire room, characterized in that the multiple power receivers are installed in the center of the room or in an area where people are active, and are positioned away from the ceiling. A temperature measurement system for the wireless power supply system, characterized in that errors due to mixing are reduced by separating and measuring the return air from the outside air. A temperature measurement system for the wireless power supply system, characterized in that the internal load is predicted based on human activity patterns and equipment operation schedules, and the temperature control is adjusted accordingly. A temperature measurement system for the wireless power supply system, characterized in that a learning-type automatic control system is introduced to adjust changes in room temperature in real time. 【0014】No. 2 [Classification] Building Equipment Sensing [Problem] Effects of disturbances and their consequences Outside air inflow near the entrance: When outside air frequently flows in near the entrance of a room, the temperature of the outside air directly affects the indoor temperature. In particular, if the outside temperature differs greatly from the indoor temperature, the temperature near the entrance may fluctuate rapidly and become abnormal. Solar radiation near windows: The temperature rise due to solar radiation is significant near windows. Solar radiation increases the temperature of objects, and black or dark-colored objects in particular absorb heat strongly, resulting in a significant temperature rise. Influence on the representative temperature of a zone Occurrence of abnormal values: The temperature of areas affected by these disturbance factors may be abnormally high or low compared to other areas. This may cause the representative temperature of the entire zone to change to a temperature that does not reflect the actual temperature. Decreased accuracy of temperature control: When the representative temperature of a zone differs from the actual temperature, the temperature control system operates based on inaccurate data, resulting in a decrease in the accuracy of temperature control. [Solution] Defining and weighting priority spaces By manually or automatically defining priority spaces (e.g., areas where people are active) and assigning weights to sensor data in those spaces, the importance of temperature in those spaces can be increased. For example, by setting a high weight to temperature sensors in areas where people are active, the accuracy of overall temperature control can be improved. Defining and weighting disturbance spaces By manually or automatically defining disturbance spaces (e.g., areas near entrances or windows) and assigning low weights to their data, the influence of temperature data in those spaces can be reduced. This reduces the influence of disturbances and enables more accurate temperature control. As a method for automatically detecting priority spaces and disturbance spaces, they are determined from features such as large temperature fluctuations, large temperature slopes, and low correlation between these changes and control data such as air conditioning set temperatures and power consumption. As a means of determination, priority spaces and disturbance spaces are identified using unsupervised clustering or anomaly detection methods such as kNN or One-Class SVM. [Claim] A temperature control system that can manually or automatically define a priority space and increase the importance of the temperature of that space by weighting the sensor data of that space, characterized in that the accuracy of overall temperature control is improved by setting a high weight on the temperature sensor in the area where humans are active (priority space).A temperature control system that can reduce the influence of temperature data in a disturbed space by manually or automatically defining the disturbed space and assigning low weights to its data, characterized in that it reduces the influence of temperature data near entrances and windows (disturbed spaces) and achieves more accurate temperature control. A temperature control system that automatically detects priority spaces and disturbed spaces by determining them from features such as large fluctuations in temperature changes, large slopes in temperature changes, and low correlation between these changes and control data such as the set temperature of the air conditioner and power consumption. A temperature control system that uses unsupervised clustering or anomaly detection methods such as kNN or One-Class SVM as means for determining priority spaces and disturbed spaces. A system that can adjust the importance of environmental control for a specific region in an environment by manually or automatically defining that region and assigning weights to the data related to that region, characterized in that it sets high weights to priority regions (e.g., spaces where people are active) and improves the accuracy of overall environmental control. This system manually or automatically defines areas prone to disturbances and assigns low weights to data associated with those areas, thereby reducing the influence of environmental data in those areas and achieving more accurate environmental control. It is characterized by suppressing the influence of data on disturbance areas (e.g., near entrances or windows). As a method for automatically detecting priority areas and disturbance areas, the system can determine these areas based on features that indicate large fluctuations in environmental data, a large slope of fluctuation, or low correlation between these changes and setting conditions or consumed resources (e.g., energy consumption). Furthermore, as a means for automatically detecting priority areas and disturbance areas, the system is characterized by using unsupervised clustering methods (e.g., K-means, DBSCAN) or anomaly detection methods (e.g., kNN, One-Class SVM). 【0015】No. 3 [Classification] Equipment Sensing Automatic Control [Problem] When the outside air intake volume in an AHU (Air Handling Unit) is set fixed according to the peak, excessive outside air may be supplied during non-peak hours, which may increase the energy consumption. Also, even when determining the outside air inflow volume based on CO2 concentration measurement in an AHU, if the ceiling is high and the Return Air is at a high position, due to the heavy mass of CO2, accurate CO2 concentration cannot be obtained, and it is difficult to meet the standards of the Building Management Law and the Air Conditioning and Sanitary Engineering Society. As a result, the indoor air quality deteriorates and the comfort level decreases. [Solution] By installing the measurement point of Return Air in the area where people are active, away from the ceiling, the measurement accuracy of CO2 concentration can be improved. Also, by installing multiple measurement points and taking the average value, more accurate data can be obtained. Assuming that the CO2 concentration is known, since a delay occurs, a model for predicting the CO2 concentration in time series is constructed using past calendar data, CO2 data, and congestion data by Sumit, and the outside inflow volume is controlled in a feed-forward manner. During the intermediate period (spring and autumn), since the outside air temperature is close to the indoor temperature, suppressing the use of cooling by actively taking in outside air is effective. It is also effective to reduce the startup load by stopping the outside air introduction at startup. [Claim] A temperature / CO2 concentration measurement system that can improve the measurement accuracy of CO2 concentration by installing the measurement point of Return Air in the area where people are active, away from the ceiling, and can obtain more accurate CO2 concentration data by installing multiple measurement points and taking the average value. A temperature / CO2 concentration control system characterized by constructing a time series model for predicting the CO2 concentration using past calendar data, CO2 data, and congestion data because a delay occurs when using the CO2 concentration data, and controlling the outside inflow volume in a feed-forward manner using a Sumit information processing device. A temperature control system characterized by suppressing the use of cooling by actively taking in outside air during the intermediate period (spring and autumn) because the outside air temperature is close to the indoor temperature, and reducing the startup load by stopping the outside air introduction at startup.This environmental monitoring system improves the accuracy of CO2 concentration and temperature data by placing measurement points in areas where humans are active and using the average value of data acquired from multiple measurement points to acquire precise environmental data in specific areas of the environment. Based on the measured CO2 concentration data, it constructs a predictive model by combining past calendar data, congestion data, and time-series data of CO2 concentration, and provides a control system that allows adjustment of the amount of outside air inflow using feedforward control by predicting the CO2 concentration using this model. The control process is realized using an information processing device (e.g., Sumit) and features highly accurate prediction and outside air intake control that takes delay into account. Under conditions where the outside temperature is close to the indoor temperature during the transitional seasons (spring and autumn), the system suppresses the use of air conditioning by actively taking in outside air, and reduces the energy load when the air conditioning is started by temporarily stopping the intake of outside air at startup. 【0016】 No. 4 [Classification] Installation [Problem] There is no ceiling material, so it is not possible to install a ceiling-mounted power transmitter. Even if it is possible to install it, it will worsen the aesthetic appearance. [Solution] →By using a power transmitter fall prevention wire to suspend and support it, it becomes possible to install it without constructing a new ceiling. The power transmitter is installed on the product shelf attached to the figure. Power is supplied by power lines along the pillars. To satisfy the radio wave protection guidelines, it is installed on the top of the shelf. Since the shelf height varies from store to store, it has a mechanism to change the angle of the power transmitter. Figure 3 [Claim] Wireless power supply power transmitter installation method A wireless power supply system characterized in that, when the power transmitter cannot be installed on the ceiling, the power transmitter is installed without constructing a new ceiling by using a power transmitter fall prevention wire to suspend and support it. Wireless power supply receiver sensor installation method A wireless power supply system characterized in that the receiver and sensor are installed on the shelf, and an installation method suitable for the position and structure of the shelf is adopted to achieve efficient energy transmission and data collection. A wireless power supply system in which the system's power transmitters and receivers are installed without the need for new installations on the ceiling, enabling efficient energy supply, and furthermore, the receivers and sensors are installed on shelves. 【0017】No. 5 [Classification] Installation Sensing [Problem] Due to the high ceiling, the power supply distance between the transmitter and receiver is long, and in that state, if radio wave shielding occurs, the power supply becomes insufficient. When detecting the presence or absence of people using components other than direct waves (e.g., reflected waves, refracted waves, etc.), the spatial resolution may deteriorate. When direct waves are obstructed, it is necessary to rely on these indirect waves, but the accuracy of these waves is often reduced due to scattering and reflection. [Solution] Installing the transmitter and receiver in a line-of-sight environment improves the power supply. By installing the transmitter on the adjacent display shelf in a non-line-of-sight environment, the influence of the presence of people on the adjacent display shelf row can be reduced. Figure 2 [Claim] A method relating to the power supply distance between a transmitter and receiver and radio wave shielding. A wireless power supply system characterized in that, when the power supply distance between the transmitter and receiver is long due to the high ceiling, and the power supply becomes insufficient when radio wave shielding occurs, the power supply is improved by installing the transmitter and receiver in a line-of-sight environment. Method for detecting the presence or absence of people using indirect waves: When detecting the presence or absence of people using components other than direct waves (e.g., reflected waves, refracted waves, etc.), spatial resolution may deteriorate. However, by installing the transmitter and receiver in a line-of-sight environment, this system prevents the reduction in accuracy caused by indirect waves and achieves more accurate detection of the presence or absence of people. Method for mitigating the influence of adjacent display shelves: This wireless power supply system is characterized by mitigating the influence of the presence of people on adjacent display shelves by installing the transmitter on the adjacent display shelf in a non-line-of-sight environment. 【0018】No. 6 [Classification] Installation [Problem] In commercial facilities, the locations where sensors can be installed are limited by the layout of product shelves, refrigerators, aisles, etc. [Solution] A temperature and humidity sensor is attached to a shopping cart or basket to supplement sparse sensor data based on human behavior. Unlike permanently installed sensors, the sensor moves, so the position of the sensor is measured in real time, and by matching the timestamp with that of a permanently installed sensor, it can be used to calculate air conditioning zone data as data from the same space and time as that of a permanently installed sensor. [Claim] A method for supplementing data using a temperature and humidity sensor. A system characterized by attaching a temperature and humidity sensor to a shopping cart or basket and supplementing sparse sensor data based on human behavior, wherein the position of the moving sensor is measured in real time, and by matching the timestamp with that of a permanently installed sensor, air conditioning zone data can be calculated as data from the same space and time as that of a permanently installed sensor and used for air conditioning control. 【0019】No. 7 [Classification] Sensing [Problem] Errors occur when estimating the position of sensors, and the temperature of the ambient temperature area may be mistaken for the temperature of the refrigerated area. This reduces the accuracy of the temperature control system and may result in inappropriate temperature settings. [Solution] The position of the sensors is manually entered and operated as fixed coordinates. This minimizes errors in position estimation in the initial stages. However, it is necessary to re-enter the fixed coordinates each time the layout is changed, which incurs operational costs. To solve the above problem, the manually entered fixed coordinates are used as ground truth data, and a position estimation model is constructed by supervised learning. After construction, sequential estimation is performed, making it possible to dynamically estimate the position even when the layout is frequently changed. Zoning clustering is performed using unsupervised learning. Using xy coordinates based on radio wave information and temperature information, an unsupervised learning clustering method (e.g., K-means or DBSCAN) is applied. This makes it possible to automatically determine whether a zone is a refrigerator or not. By adding temperature information to the clustering, it is possible to distinguish between refrigerated areas and ambient temperature areas more accurately. For example, clusters with low temperatures around the refrigerator and clusters with high temperatures in the ambient temperature area can be automatically identified. [Claim] A method for resolving position estimation errors. In cases where errors occur in the position estimation of a sensor, causing the temperature of a room temperature area to be mistakenly identified as the temperature of a refrigerated area, a position estimation system is characterized by constructing a position estimation model by using manually input fixed coordinates as ground truth data and performing supervised learning, thereby enabling dynamic position estimation even when the layout is frequently changed. A zoning method using unsupervised learning. A zoning system is characterized by applying an unsupervised learning clustering method (e.g., K-means or DBSCAN) using xy coordinates based on radio wave information and temperature information to automatically determine refrigerated areas and room temperature areas. By adding temperature information to the clustering, the system can more accurately distinguish between refrigerated areas and room temperature areas, and automatically identify clusters with low ambient temperatures in refrigerated areas and clusters with high ambient temperatures in room temperature areas. 【0020】No. 8 [Classification] Service [Problem] Changing the temperature can change customer purchasing behavior. However, there are many related factors, and measuring the effect takes time, which is a challenge. In addition, many variables other than the store temperature, such as season, day of the week, time of day, and product placement, also affect purchasing behavior, making it difficult to measure the effect. [Solution] Bayesian optimization and experimental design methods are applied to determine the target temperature near people and the refrigerator setting temperature in a short number of verification days. The factors are defined as target zone temperature, congestion level, season, outside temperature, and day of the week, and are classified into factors that can be controlled by the system (target zone temperature, non-air conditioning measures) and others. Furthermore, upper and lower temperature limits that can be set by the user are set on the system for the controllable factors, and the optimizer proposes controllable factors based on these upper and lower limits. The frequency of proposals is one day or more, and the proposal method is displayed via email or the system UI. The target variable that underlies this is sales, which can be implemented using the total sales for the store, or defined for each product zone such as fresh food or daily necessities. To analyze whether the target temperature actually significantly influenced customer purchasing behavior as suggested by the optimizer, modeling is performed using multiple regression analysis based on the data obtained during the optimization process. The importance of the factors is evaluated based on the coefficients and p-values ​​of the factors obtained from the analysis results. [Claims] Method for measuring the temperature dependence of purchasing behavior A system for measuring the temperature dependence of purchasing behavior, characterized in that when customer purchasing behavior changes by changing the temperature, Bayesian optimization and experimental design methods are applied to determine the target temperature near the person and the refrigerator setting temperature in a small number of verification days, and the factors include target zone temperature, season, outside temperature, and day of the week. The system is characterized in that it classifies factors into controllable factors (target zone temperature) and other factors (season, outside temperature, day of the week), sets upper and lower temperature limits that can be set on the system for controllable factors, and the optimizer proposes controllable factors based on these upper and lower limits. Proposal means and frequency The proposal frequency from the optimizer is set to one day or more, and the proposal means is characterized in that the proposed content is displayed in email or the system's user interface (UI).The system defines sales as the dependent variable and can be implemented based on the total sales within the store. It is also characterized by the ability to define sales for each product zone, such as fresh food and daily necessities, and implement the system zone by zone. The system is characterized by using multiple regression analysis based on data obtained during the optimization process to analyze whether the target temperature proposed by the optimization significantly influenced customer purchasing behavior, and evaluating the importance of the factors based on the coefficients and p-values ​​of the factors obtained from the analysis results. When user behavior changes due to changes in environmental conditions, this system is for determining the optimal environmental settings in a short period of time, and is characterized by applying Bayesian optimization and experimental design as optimization methods. The system has the function of classifying environmentally controllable factors (target conditions) and uncontrollable factors (external factors) by considering target environmental conditions and external environmental factors (season, outside temperature, day of the week, etc.). For environmentally controllable factors, it has the function of setting upper and lower limits and having the optimizer propose recommended values ​​based on these constraints. Proposals are made at intervals of one day or more, and the content of the proposals is notified via email or user interface (UI). 【0021】No. 9 [Classification] [Problem] POS data collects information at the time a product is sold (product name, purchase date, store, number of items purchased, purchase price, etc.). This provides sufficient information to determine which products are selling well and which are not. However, it does not include detailed data on purchasing behavior, such as customer attribute information or the time spent in front of products. To do this, sensors must be introduced solely for marketing purposes, and there is a problem that the cost of analyzing detailed behavior is high. [Solution] In order to add a customer purchasing behavior analysis function to an in-store automatic air conditioning control system based on a wireless power supply system, the following software functions can be implemented. Data such as air conditioning zoning coordinates, zone temperature and humidity, and congestion level are obtained from the existing air conditioning control system using an API. Data acquisition from the POS system: Customer purchase results (date and time, purchased products, number of items, amount) and product zones (daily necessities, refrigerated goods, home appliances, etc.) are obtained from the POS system via API. Data obtained from the air conditioning control system and the POS system are integrated to generate a data frame with consistent timestamps. For example, the following data frame is generated: See Figure 2. Based on temperature data, the zone with the lowest temperature in each air conditioning zone is designated as the fresh food zone, and the product zone map is rotated and scaled accordingly. For example, if the refrigerated zone has the lowest temperature, that zone is mapped as the fresh food zone. Users can also manually define the coordinate system for air conditioning zones and product zones. Based on this data frame, the shortest path between product zones in the purchase history is calculated and assumed to represent the customer's behavior history. Clustering is performed on all data, using this behavior history and temperature and congestion levels as features, to separate it into two clusters: unplanned buyers and planned buyers. In this process, the ratio of planned to unplanned purchases in the country or region is input beforehand (in Japan, unplanned buyers account for about 70%), and penalties are applied and recalculations are performed if the resulting cluster deviates from this ratio.From POS data of clusters identified as having unplanned purchases, multiple common products are selected and used to improve layout changes (interaction measures) such as bringing the layout of those products closer together, or to improve POP displays (single product measures). The web system specifications provide a web screen that outputs the results of the purchase behavior analysis on a separate page or tab from the existing air conditioning control system. For example, the following visualizations are possible: Heatmap: Displays purchase frequency and amount for each product zone as a heatmap. Bar graph: Displays purchase behavior by time of day as a bar graph. Scatter plot: Displays the relationship between temperature and purchase behavior as a scatter plot. Planned Buyer Product List: Products frequently purchased by planned buyers and their demand forecast Unplanned Buyer Product List: Products frequently purchased by unplanned buyers and their layout suggestions [Claim] An air conditioning control system equipped with software for adding a customer purchasing behavior analysis function to an air conditioning automatic control system based on a wireless power supply system, comprising: - Means for obtaining air conditioning zoning coordinates, zone temperature and humidity, and congestion level from an existing air conditioning control system via API; - Means for obtaining data relating to customer purchasing results from a POS system via API, wherein the data includes date and time, purchased products, number of items, amount, and product zone (daily necessities, refrigerators, home appliances, etc.); - Data integration means for integrating data obtained from the air conditioning control system and the POS system and generating a data frame with consistent timestamps; - Means for analyzing temperature data based on the data frame, identifying the zone with the lowest temperature among the air conditioning zones, and performing rotation or scaling of the product zone map based on that; - Means for enabling the user to manually define the coordinate systems of the air conditioning zones and product zones An air conditioning control system characterized by comprising means for calculating the shortest path between product zones in the purchase history, assuming the customer is a planned buyer, based on the data frame and the coordinate system, and assuming this as the customer's behavioral history.Furthermore, in relation to the air conditioning control system, the air conditioning control system is characterized by having: - means for providing a web screen that outputs the results of purchasing behavior analysis, and - the web screen being capable of performing the following visualizations: - means for displaying the purchase frequency and amount for each product zone as a heat map, - means for displaying purchasing behavior for each time period as a bar graph, and - means for displaying the relationship between temperature and purchasing behavior as a scatter plot.

[Solution] Nonlinear relationship between congestion and dwell time: The relationship between congestion and dwell time is considered to be nonlinear. Generally, if the degree of congestion is low, customers do not feel that the store is lively, so the dwell time decreases. On the other hand, if the degree of congestion increases too much, customers feel uncomfortable, and the dwell time decreases again. It is necessary to consider a nonlinear model in which the dwell time peaks at a certain degree of congestion. Synchronization of peaks Synchronization of peak dwell time and peak average customer: It is assumed that the peak of dwell time and the peak average customer coincide. This assumption simplifies the model and allows parameters to be adjusted based on actual data.

Challenges and problems ● Reduced efficiency of power transmission When direct waves are blocked by figures or obstacles, the power supply to the receiver becomes insufficient. As a result, it becomes necessary to rely on indirect waves, but power transmission efficiency decreases. ● Deterioration of spatial resolution When relying on indirect waves, spatial resolution deteriorates due to the effects of scattering and reflection, making it difficult to accurately detect people. Improvement proposals ● Ensuring a line-of-sight environment By installing the transmitter and receiver in a line-of-sight environment, efficient power transmission can be achieved. ● Minimizing impact on adjacent shelves By adopting a non-line-of-sight environment for adjacent shelves and reducing interference caused by the presence of people, overall performance can be improved. This configuration is intended to supply power to sensors and IoT devices wirelessly in stores and be used for purposes such as inventory management and customer detection. 【0026】 Sales growth cycle 【0027】See Figure 4. The content shown above represents an analysis of the sales improvement cycle, air conditioning control, dwell time, and congestion level. Sales Improvement Cycle Sales are composed of "number of customers × purchase rate × unit price," and optimizing each element is required to improve this. Specifically, increasing the number of customers, improving the purchase rate, or increasing the unit price are important. Air Conditioning Control There are mainly three cases for air conditioning control: 1. Internal load (influence by people): Air conditioning settings and temperature adjustments are affected by the activities and number of people inside. 2. External load (influence by outside temperature and season): Changes in outside temperature and seasons affect the indoor temperature, so it is necessary to adjust them. 3. Internal load (influence of equipment and facilities): Heat and load emitted by equipment and facilities affect the efficiency of air conditioning. Relationship between Dwell Time and Congestion The length of dwell time and congestion level are related to the temperature and air conditioning efficiency inside the facility, and are especially important in areas where people are active. The longer the dwell time, the higher the temperature and congestion level in that area, and the more necessary air conditioning adjustments are needed. Congestion level is a crucial factor in temperature control, and in crowded conditions, temperature control must be performed while maximizing energy efficiency. In addition, this system optimizes temperature and energy efficiency to achieve appropriate air conditioning and executes a feedback loop within the air conditioning system. 【0028】 System Configuration 【0029】See Figure 5.

Installation / Construction / Ceiling Materials: The ceiling-mounted power transmission unit cannot be installed due to a lack of ceiling materials. The building structure only has steel at the very top of the ceiling (around FL + 10m), making it difficult to install new power transmission unit support materials. Power transmission units and sensor installation on shelves: When detecting the presence / absence of people and congestion levels using electromagnetic wave fluctuations, the calculation utilizes the effect of environmental fluctuations in the radio wave reach area. Therefore, considering that the spatial resolution is in the microwave band, it can be 20m or more. In commercial facilities, there is a possibility of misidentifying the rows of display shelves. Errors occur when estimating the sensor's position, leading to the recognition of a temperature in a refrigerated area when it is actually in a normal temperature area. Relationship between congestion level and dwell time: Automatic control / VAV is not available, resulting in a coarse controllable spatial resolution. While the average temperature can be controlled, localized temperature control is difficult. VAV is not available, and heat is supplied solely by the AHU's transport power. Air ducts can be as long as 100m. The heat supply is high near the AHU outlet, but decreases near the tip, resulting in a gradient in heat supply and temperature near people along the duct.- Commercial facilities experience dynamic fluctuations in peak and off-peak seasons, sometimes pinpointing and sometimes weekly. This leads to changes in internal load caused by people, resulting in an error in the temperature near people, with the temperature rising above the target. - Many commercial facilities (supermarkets) have refrigerators and freezers installed in an open state, causing internal load fluctuations and an error in the temperature near people, with the temperature falling below the target. - When temperature control using AirPlug is applied to the above decrease, the control system stops the heat supply and switches to a fan state, aiming to raise the temperature due to the influence of external load (outside air, etc.) and approach the target temperature near people. However, if the internal load of refrigerators, etc. is large, the temperature may not rise to the target. - Automatic control mainly deteriorates the quality of food. Changing service and temperature does not change customer purchasing behavior. - Changing the temperature changes customer purchasing behavior, but there are many related factors and it takes time to measure the effect. - Providing insights (purchasing behavior that avoids crowds) based on POS data (inferring a single-line movement path from purchased items) and environmental information (degree of congestion). 【0032】 Brainstorming for countermeasures 【0033】・The building has high ceilings and air conditioning outlets, creating a temperature difference in the vertical direction, making it difficult to control the temperature near people. → Air conditioning will be controlled based on the temperature measured by wireless sensors that can be placed at multiple points in the space near people. ・Refrigerated and frozen display cases require connection to drain pipes rising from the concrete floor, making it difficult to easily change the layout to match the air conditioning temperature environment. → By weighting the number of wireless sensors that can be placed at multiple points near the refrigerated and frozen display cases, the priority air conditioning area can be changed without changing the equipment layout. ・There is little metal on the walls, floors, and ceilings, resulting in little power reception due to radio wave reflection. → The power transmitter will be positioned to allow sensors to operate with direct waves. ・The entrances and exits are large, causing outside air to flow in and the temperature in the vicinity to be unstable. ・The equipment is old and cannot connect to BACnet. → A Niagara JACE controller that supports multiple field device networks will be used for connection. - The AHU has only one room temperature sensor in the RA duct, and the RA duct only draws air from the machine room side wall, so it is not possible to measure and control the temperature of the entire air-conditioned space. → By controlling the air conditioning based on the temperature measured by wireless sensors that can be placed at multiple points in the space near people, air conditioning will be performed in the space near people, preventing variations in indoor temperature, improving comfort, and reducing energy consumption. - The AHU's room temperature sensor is installed after mixing with outside air, which tends to cause over-air conditioning compared to the actual room temperature. → By controlling the air conditioning based on the temperature measured by wireless sensors that can be placed at multiple points in the space near people, air conditioning will be performed in the space near people, improving comfort, and reducing energy consumption. - There is no CO2 sensor or VAV for adjusting the amount of outside air introduced, and outside air is introduced based on a design that targets peak times, so heat treatment of excess outside air load occurs during off-peak seasons. → By controlling the amount of outside air introduced based on the CO2 concentration measured by wireless sensors that can be placed in the space near people, the outside air load will be reduced, and energy consumption will be reduced. VAV will be added. - The power supply voltage is unstable, making stable operation of precision equipment difficult. →Install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for the control equipment power supply. Installation, construction, and ceiling materials are unavailable, making it impossible to embed the ceiling-mounted power transmission unit. →Installation will be possible without constructing a new ceiling by using a power transmission unit fall prevention wire for suspension support.- The building structure only has steel materials at the very top of the ceiling (around FL + 10m), making it difficult to install new power transmission support materials. → By installing power transmission support angles perpendicular to the existing lighting fixture support materials which are installed at equal intervals, the working space height is lowered and work efficiency is improved. In addition, the angles are perforated so that power transmission support wires can be passed through them to prevent displacement. Wires are used for intermediate support of the angles to improve work efficiency. - After the power transmission is installed, it is not possible to confirm whether each power transmission is emitting radio waves. → An antenna and LED lamp are attached to the end of a long rod and brought close to the power transmission to confirm emission for each unit.

Therefore, considering that the spatial resolution is in the microwave band, it may be 20m or more. In commercial facilities, there is a possibility of mistaking the rows of display shelves. → Utilize the separation provided by the shelves. By installing the transmitter and receiver inside the row, radio wave shielding can be created for adjacent rows, thus reducing the impact of fluctuations in the radio wave environment of rows other than the target row.

Technical means in buildings In environments where ceilings are high and there is a temperature difference in the vertical direction between the air conditioning outlet and the vicinity of people, ensuring comfort in the space near people is a challenge. This technology uses wireless sensors that can be placed at multiple points according to the ceiling height to collect data necessary for air conditioning control and enable efficient temperature management. Furthermore, regarding the fact that refrigerated and frozen display cases require drainage pipes and are difficult to easily change the layout, this technology provides the ability to dynamically change the settings of priority air-conditioned spaces without changing the layout by weighting the data from sensors placed near the refrigerated and frozen display cases. In addition, in environments where there is little metal on the walls, floors, and ceilings and power reception due to radio wave reflection is insufficient, a power transmission placement design is adopted that enables efficient sensor operation using direct waves. This realizes a stable power supply that does not rely on reflected waves. Regarding the issue of temperature instability due to outside air inflow near entrances and exits, this embodiment does not offer a direct solution, but provides guidance for more effective spatial design by proposing a retail layout based on environmental characteristics data. Regarding the technical means of the equipment, if older equipment does not support BACnet connectivity, this embodiment uses a Niagara JACE controller to ensure compatibility with various field device networks. This enables integration with existing equipment and facilitates the transition to modern air conditioning control. If the AHU (air conditioning unit) has only one room temperature sensor installed in the RA (return air) duct, resulting in insufficient temperature measurement of the entire air-conditioned space, this embodiment uses multi-point wireless sensors to collect temperature data and achieve uniform spatial temperature control. Furthermore, to address the problem of over-air conditioning caused by the AHU's room temperature sensor being installed after outside air mixing, this embodiment uses multi-point wireless sensors to adjust the air conditioning load appropriately, thereby reducing energy consumption. If there is a shortage of CO2 sensors or VAVs (variable air volume devices) for adjusting the amount of outside air intake, the challenge of peak load design can be overcome by reducing the outside air load through CO2 concentration measurement using wireless sensors and the addition of VAVs.If the power supply voltage required for the operation of precision equipment is unstable, installing an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to the control equipment ensures stable operation of the equipment. Regarding installation and construction techniques, in environments without ceiling materials, a suspension support system using a transmitter fall prevention wire is adopted, allowing the transmitter to be installed without constructing a new ceiling. Furthermore, to address the workability issues of installing the transmitter support material on the steel material at the top of the ceiling, existing lighting fixture support materials are utilized to improve work efficiency. If it is necessary to confirm whether individual transmitters are emitting radio waves correctly after installation, an efficient emission confirmation is achieved by using a confirmation device combining an antenna and an LED lamp. Regarding sensing techniques, when detecting the presence / absence of people or the degree of congestion, environmental fluctuations in the radio wave reach area affect detection accuracy. By installing the transmitter and receiver inside a row and utilizing radio wave shielding, misrecognition is prevented. Furthermore, regarding the issue of errors in sensor position estimation, a technique is provided that manually inputs fixed coordinates and uses supervised learning and clustering methods to determine the accurate sensor position. Technical means in automatic control: When the spatial resolution of air conditioning control is coarse, localized temperature control is possible by changing the opening of air outlets or using circulators. Similarly, these techniques are applied when a gradient occurs in the amount of heat supplied in long air ducts. To respond to fluctuations in internal load due to peak and off-peak seasons in commercial facilities, temperature data is acquired using Sense-T sensors near people, and control is implemented to approach the target temperature. When the open state of refrigerators and freezers causes temperature fluctuations, a technique is applied that dynamically corrects the SetPoint using sensor data for each zone. To maintain food quality, upper and lower limits are set for the air conditioning temperature to prevent quality deterioration. Technical means in service: When temperature changes do not affect customer purchasing behavior, a strategy is adopted to exclude this factor from the analysis. On the other hand, in order to accurately measure the impact of temperature changes, the factors are narrowed down, and verification is made more efficient by utilizing Bayesian optimization and experimental design. These technical means make it possible to solve problems and improve the efficiency of air conditioning systems. 【0036】(2. System Communication Status) Figure 9 shows the communication status of system 100. As shown in Figure 9, the power supply unit 320 transmits power supply radio waves to the sensor unit 310 and supplies power wirelessly. The sensor unit 310 and the power supply unit 320 communicate information wirelessly with each other via communication radio waves. 【0037】 The power supply radio waves of the power supply unit 320 may be radio waves that can be considered as substantially continuous waves. The power supply signal transmitted from the power supply unit 320 is a radio frequency signal having a predetermined power, and it is preferable to make this radio frequency signal a radio frequency signal that can be considered as substantially continuous waves by providing a pause period of any period (e.g., 50 milliseconds) that is short compared to the period other than the pause period (e.g., 4 seconds). 【0038】 Specifically, the power supply signal (power supply radio wave) transmitted from the power supply unit 320 may, for example, be a continuous wave (CW) with a predetermined power. The frequency band of the power supply signal is, for example, a 920 MHz band, taking into account the distance between the sensor unit 310 and the power supply unit 320. If the frequency band is higher than the example frequency band, it may not be possible to supply the predetermined power necessary for the sensor unit 310 to operate unless the distance between the sensor unit 310 and the power supply unit 320 is shortened. Therefore, an appropriate frequency band can be determined by considering a practical range (for example, a distance of a few meters between the sensor unit 310 and the power supply unit 320). 【0039】 The power supply radio waves of the power supply unit 320 are preferably unmodulated, without a modulated signal, and without information. Specifically, there is a type of radio wave that generally represents the characteristics of radio waves used in communication systems. The radio wave type is expressed by a three-character string of letters or numbers that combines the modulation type of the main carrier wave, the nature of the signal modulating the main carrier wave, and the type of transmitted information. 【0040】The modulation type of the main carrier wave consists of any one of the following: no modulation: N, amplitude modulation (double sideband): A, amplitude modulation (single sideband, full carrier wave): H, amplitude modulation (single sideband, reduced carrier wave): R, amplitude modulation (single sideband, suppressed carrier wave): J, amplitude modulation (independent sideband): B, amplitude modulation (independent sideband): C, angle modulation (frequency modulation): F, angle modulation (phase modulation): G, amplitude modulation and angle modulation simultaneously or in a fixed order: D. 【0041】 The nature of the signal for modulating the main carrier wave consists of any one of the following: no modulation signal: 0, single channel of digital signal without using a subcarrier: 1, single channel of digital signal using a subcarrier: 2, single channel of analog signal: 3, two or more channels of digital signal: 7, two or more channels of analog signal: 8, composite mode of one or more channels of analog signal and one or more channels of digital signal: 9. 【0042】 The type of transmission information consists of any one of the following: no information: N, telecommunications (aural reception): A, telecommunications (automatic reception): B, facsimile: C, data transmission / remote measurement / remote command: D, telephone (acoustic): E, television (video): F, combination from N to F: W. 【0043】 In the present disclosure, the radio wave type of the power supply wave of the power supply unit 320 is N0N, which means no modulation: N, single channel of digital signal without using a subcarrier: 0, no information: N. In this case, it indicates that the power supply wave has no modulation of the main carrier wave (no modulation), no digital signal (single channel of digital signal without using a subcarrier), and no transmitted information (no information). 【0044】 As a result, due to the absence of modulation, the interference with other surrounding communication systems is reduced, enabling stable energy transmission. Also, due to no modulation, the transmission energy is concentrated on the carrier wave. Thereby, energy can be efficiently transmitted between the sensor unit 310 and the power supply unit 320. Since no information is transmitted, the system configuration is simple, and the design and implementation of the power supply unit 320 as the transmitter and the sensor unit 310 as the receiver can be realized simply. 【0045】In this specification, with respect to power supply radio waves, the power supply unit 320 is a transmitter in the sense that it transmits power wirelessly, and the sensor unit 310 is a receiver in the sense that it receives power wirelessly. On the other hand, as will be described later, the sensor unit 310 may transmit information about the state of the sensor unit 310 or information about the measurement results by the sensor 311 as a data signal (communication radio wave) to the power supply unit 320, and the power supply unit 320 may receive such data signals. For this reason, in this specification, the sensor unit 310 and the power supply unit 320 are considered as a pair of transceivers 300, with the sensor unit 310 being an example of a first transceiver and the power supply unit 320 being an example of a second transceiver. 【0046】 The power supply unit 320 transmits, for example, a power supply signal or a data signal to the sensor unit 310. The power supply unit 320 transmits the power supply signal to the sensor unit 310 using, for example, radio waves in the 920 MHz band. The power supply unit 320 also transmits a data signal to the sensor unit 310 using, for example, radio waves in the 2.4 GHz band. In this way, in the system 100, a pair of transceivers 300 transmit and receive a 2.4 GHz communication radio wave (first radio wave) and a 920 MHz power supply radio wave (second radio wave) with a lower frequency than the communication radio wave. The power supply unit 320 may also transmit the data signal to the sensor unit 310 using radio waves in the 920 MHz band or the 5 GHz band. In this embodiment, power supply radio waves are transmitted from multiple power supply units 320 to multiple sensor units 310. That is, one sensor unit 310 receives multiple power supply radio waves transmitted from multiple power supply units 320. In addition, a power supply radio wave may be transmitted from one power supply unit 320 to one or more sensor units 310. 【0047】The power supply unit 320 may transmit a data signal to, for example, one sensor unit 310 or a plurality of sensor units 310. The power supply unit 320 may transmit, for example, the same data signal as other power supply units 320 or a different data signal from other power supply units 320. The power supply unit 320 may transmit, for example, a predetermined command signal as a data signal to the sensor unit 310 or a preset signal as a data signal to the sensor unit 310. 【0048】 The power supply unit 320 receives, for example, a data signal transmitted from the sensor unit 310. The power supply unit 320 may receive, for example, a data signal transmitted from one sensor unit 310 or data signals transmitted from a plurality of sensor units 310. The power supply unit 320 transmits the data signal transmitted from the sensor unit 310 to the information processing device 500. The power supply unit 320 transmits information regarding the state of the power supply unit 320 to the information processing device 500. The sensor unit 310 receives, for example, a power supply signal or a data signal transmitted from the power supply unit 320. When the sensor unit 310 has, for example, a power storage unit, the sensor unit 310 converts the power supply signal transmitted from the power supply unit 320 into electric power and stores the converted electric power in the power storage unit. When the sensor unit 310 has, for example, a predetermined sensor 311, the sensor unit 310 converts the power supply signal transmitted from the power supply unit 320 into electric power and drives the sensor 311 with the converted electric power. 【0049】 The sensor unit 310 transmits, for example, information regarding the state of the sensor unit 310 or information regarding the measurement result by the sensor as a data signal to the power supply unit 320. The information regarding the state of the sensor unit 310 includes information regarding the voltage (received voltage) supplied to the sensor unit 310 by wireless power supply. 【0050】(3. Hardware configuration of a pair of transceivers 300) Figure 10 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of a pair of transceivers 300. As shown in Figure 10, the sensor unit 310 and the power supply unit 320 are separated from each other by a predetermined distance, for example. For example, the sensor unit 310 and the power supply unit 320 are installed separated by a distance of several meters. 【0051】 Specifically, for example, the power supply unit 320 is fixedly installed at a predetermined high position indoors, for example, on the ceiling or wall. The sensor unit 310 is installed in various locations in the room, for example. The sensor unit 310 may also be carried by the user. The power supply unit 320 transmits a power supply signal to the sensor unit 310 using radio waves at a predetermined frequency, for example, in the 920 MHz band. The sensor unit 310 converts the power supply signal transmitted from the power supply unit 320 into power, and either charges itself with the converted power or supplies the converted power to a predetermined device (sensor 311). 【0052】 Summary of Figures 18-25: These figures illustrate a method for installing a power transmission system in environments where ceiling-mounted power transmission units cannot be embedded in the ceiling. In particular, they propose a solution for installing power transmission units while ensuring aesthetics and safety in stores and facilities without ceiling materials. 【0053】 Explanation of each part of the drawing 【0054】 In the elevation and cross-sectional view, the power transmission unit is installed by being suspended using safety wires, rather than being directly embedded in the ceiling. This suspension structure ensures the stability and safety of the power transmission unit without the need to install new ceiling materials. The power transmission unit is connected to the power supply using UTP cables (such as CAT5e), and the wires are installed in a way that avoids existing equipment such as dimmers and panels. 【0055】 Detailed diagrams of the power transmission unit (parts A and B): Figures 19, 20, and 21. The power transmission unit is stably supported by wires. The placement does not detract from the design of the panels, and the wires are firmly fixed to prevent them from falling. 【0056】Detailed diagrams of shelf installation (sections C and D) Figures 22 and 23. The power transmitter is installed on top of the product shelves and adjusted to a position that meets radio wave protection guidelines. To accommodate different shelf heights, a bracket is attached that allows the angle of the power transmitter to be adjusted. 【0057】 Detailed diagrams of the cart and receiver (sections E and F) Figures 24 and 25 The cart has a built-in receiver and is designed to efficiently receive power from the transmitter. The diagrams show that the receiver is installed at the rear of the cart. This design allows users to receive power without any special operation. 【0058】 Key features of the solution: Even if ceiling material is not available, there is no need to install new ceiling material, thus reducing installation costs. The wire suspension structure maintains aesthetic appeal. Even in stores with different shelf heights, the angle adjustment mechanism allows for efficient power transmission. By positioning the power transmitter above the shelves, the design enhances power transmission efficiency while meeting radio wave protection guidelines. The cart and receiver work in conjunction, minimizing the effort required from users for power transmission. 【0059】 This embodiment includes a mounting structure for a transmitter (hereinafter also referred to as "power transmitter") used for wireless power transmission, comprising at least one of a duct fixing jig fixed to the side of a wiring duct, a duct mounting wire attached to the wiring duct, and a column fixing jig fixed to a column, wherein the transmitter is fixed to at least one of the duct fixing jig, the duct mounting wire, and the column fixing jig. This makes it possible to efficiently realize WPT with a simple configuration. The transmitter preferably has the function of transmitting radio waves and receiving radio waves from a sensor (receiver), but it does not have to have a receiving function. Similarly, the receiver only needs to have the function of receiving radio waves, and may, for example, have the function of transmitting radio waves. 【0060】According to this embodiment, large-scale installation of a WPT system including a transmitter can be carried out efficiently and at low cost. The transmitter can be attached, for example, to an existing wiring duct used to support lighting fixtures. By utilizing such existing structures, it is possible to install the transmitter without installing new ceilings or suspension supports. 【0061】 In this embodiment, for example, as shown in the side view of Figure 26 and the front view of Figure 27, an L-shaped panel may be fixed to the side of the wiring duct, and the transmitter may be embedded in the L-shaped panel. In this example, the side of the transmitter on which the transmitting unit is provided (transmitting surface) faces downward (downward in the vertical direction), but it is not limited to this, and may face horizontally or diagonally downward. When the power transmitter is located (embedded) on the back side of the panel (upper side of the horizontal plate portion), the power transmitter is not conspicuous when viewed from below (floor level) and does not impair the design. The wiring duct may be fixed to the ceiling, suspended from the ceiling by wires, or fixed to a wall or column. In addition, the wiring duct may be substituted with other ducts or structures located at the same height as the wiring duct. 【0062】 In this embodiment, the transmitter may be exposed and mounted on an L-shaped fixing jig fixed adjacent to the side of the wiring duct, as shown, for example, in the side view of Figure 28, the front view of Figure 29, and the mounting diagram of Figure 30. In other words, the transmitter may be mounted on the lower side of the horizontal plate portion of the L-shaped fixing jig instead of the upper side. The L-shaped fixing jig does not need to be larger than the width of the transmitter; a smaller L-shaped fixing jig may be fixed and supported on both sides (ends) of the transmitter. Furthermore, if the upper part of the vertical plate portion of the L-shaped fixing jig is made hook-shaped as shown in Figure 30, it can be hooked onto the wiring duct from above, improving ease of installation. In the example of Figure 30, the hook portion of the L-shaped fixing jig is sandwiched between the wiring duct and the cover portion to enhance stability and prevent detachment. Costs can be reduced by minimizing the number of components. Also, it does not necessarily have to be L-shaped; it may be T-shaped or other shapes, and it may be a fixing jig that is fixed to the lower surface of the wiring duct. 【0063】Alternatively, as shown in Figure 11, for example, the power transmitter may be attached to an existing wiring duct or a newly constructed wiring duct using a fall prevention wire. It is preferable to attach wires to the ends of both sides of the transmitter and engage (connect) these wires to the wiring duct, but the number of wires connecting the transmitter and the wiring duct may be one (one location) or three (three or more locations). 【0064】 In this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained: Power transmission equipment can be installed without constructing a new ceiling in existing ceilings or spaces without other support materials. Installation efficiency is improved by suspending the new wiring duct from the existing roof steel material with wires. Installation efficiency is improved by laying the wiring inside the wiring duct. Installation efficiency and displacement prevention fixation are possible by suspending the power transmission equipment with fall prevention wires. 【0065】 In this embodiment, power transmitters may be individually or collectively installed on pillars within the facility using fixing jigs. For example, as shown in Figure 31, multiple transmitters may be attached to a plate-shaped fixing jig fixed to a pillar. Various components such as fixing jigs are preferably made of non-metallic and insulating materials such as wood or plastic so as not to interfere with power transmission. As shown in Figure 32, the plate-shaped fixing jig can be a panel with holes (openings, etc.) made of, for example, resin such as acrylic or wood. 【0066】 In this embodiment, in a space without a ceiling, attaching the transmitter to a column via a fixing jig reduces the amount of construction work compared to suspending the transmitter from the roof and embedding it in the ceiling. In other words, it prevents an increase in the amount of construction work required for back-and-forth installation between the ceiling and the panels, which is necessary to maintain the installation spacing of the power transmitters. When constructing a ceiling, panels must be suspended, which results in many suspension points and suspension material locations. In this example, by concentrating the suspension material locations on the columns, the amount of construction work required for back-and-forth installation between the ceiling and the panels is reduced. 【0067】In this embodiment, when a plate-shaped fixing jig is installed diagonally to a column, the lower end of the plate-shaped fixing jig may be fixed close to (adjacent to) the column, and the upper end may be supported by a wire at a position away from the column. By positioning the plate diagonally in this way, the tension (load) on the wire is reduced compared to holding the plate horizontally, thereby increasing the fall prevention effect and improving safety. The LAN cable is routed from the ceiling so that it is not subjected to tension due to the weight of the plate. Furthermore, if the lower end of the plate-shaped fixing jig is made into a hinge structure that allows the angle to be changed with the fulcrum, the angle of the plate-shaped fixing jig (i.e., the angle of the transmitter) can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the wire at the upper end. 【0068】 In this embodiment, the installation height of the transmitter is not particularly limited. The installation height of the transmitter is preferably higher than a tall shelf or product rack, for example, preferably 3m to 15m, and more preferably 5m to 10m. 【0069】 In this embodiment, the mounting position of the receiver shown in Figures 18, 24, 25, etc., is not limited, but may be, for example, the front (tip) side of the shopping cart basket, the front surface of the basket, etc. The receiver may have functions such as a temperature sensor or a humidity sensor. The orientation of the receiver (orientation of the receiving unit / receiving surface) is not particularly limited as long as it can receive signals from the transmitter, but may be facing upwards, sideways (horizontally), or diagonally upwards. 【0070】 In this embodiment, the receiver may be attached, for example, to the side, front, back, top end, or support column of a shelf. By attaching the receiver to a plate-shaped fixing jig (such as a resin panel) and combining it with fixing members such as clamp fittings, it can be installed in a position where reception is possible even in a variety of installation environments. The orientation of the receiver (the orientation of the receiving part / receiving surface) may be upward, sideways (horizontal), or diagonally upward. 【0071】In this embodiment, the structure for fixing the transmitter to the column may include a pair of elongated members (shafts, ducts, etc.) that sandwich the column from both the front and rear (or left and right) sides, a pair of elongated bolts connecting the ends of the elongated members, and nuts fixed to the bolts. For example, if elongated members are placed on the front and rear sides of the column, elongated bolts are placed on the left and right sides of the column, and the nuts are attached to the bolts with the elongated bolts passing through the elongated members, thereby sandwiching the column in the front-to-back direction and fixing the fixing members. In this way, with the pair of elongated members fixed to the column, the transmitter can be attached directly or indirectly to the elongated members. Figures 33 and 34 show plan views when a receiver is attached to a shelf support. Figure 34 shows a plan view when a receiver is attached to a shelf support. The plate-shaped fixing jig for fixing the receiver may be flat or L-shaped, and the receiver can be attached at any angle. Figures 35 and 36 show front views when the receiver is mounted on the upper end of the shelf support or back panel. Depending on the shape of the fixing jig, the receiver can be mounted at any angle. Alternatively, the fixing jig may be equipped with a hinge to allow the angle of the receiver to be changed as desired. 【0072】 Figures 37 to 52 show various examples of mounting the transmitter on a pole. 【0073】 Figures 37 and 38 show an example where a plate-shaped fixing member, as shown in Figures 31 and 32, is installed parallel to the column. The signal transmission direction of the transmitter is horizontal, and the transmitting surface is installed parallel to the vertical direction. In this example, the longitudinal direction of the transmitter is horizontal and extends parallel to the mounting surface of the column to which the transmitter is attached. 【0074】 Figures 39, 40, and 41 show an example where the transmitter is set up to protrude perpendicularly to the surface of the column. In other words, it shows an example where the longitudinal direction of the transmitter is perpendicular to the mounting surface of the column. The transmission direction of the transmitter is downward in the vertical direction, and the transmission surface is parallel to the horizontal direction. 【0075】 Figures 42 and 43 show an example in which multiple transmitters are arranged vertically with spacing between them so that the transmitting surface faces downwards. 【0076】Figure 44 shows an example where multiple transmitters are mounted side-by-side along the width of a column. In this example, the length of the fixing jig located at the front of the column is longer than the width of the column, allowing three transmitters to be installed horizontally. In this way, multiple transmitters may also be mounted along the width of the column (left-right direction). 【0077】 Figures 45 and 46 show an example in which a transmitter is placed between two plate-shaped members (a first fixing plate and a second fixing plate). The two plate-shaped members are spaced apart by spacers. In the example in Figure 46, the transmitting surface is positioned facing downwards, but this is not the only option. 【0078】 Figure 47 shows multiple transmitters arranged with vertical spacing between them, and arranged so that the positions of each transmitter do not overlap in a plan view. In this example, the transmitters located higher up are positioned further away from the pillar, but the reverse is also possible, or other arrangements are also possible. 【0079】 Figure 48 shows an example where two transmitters are positioned in opposite directions and at an angle downward (at an angle θ with respect to the vertical). The two transmitters are positioned to span between upper and lower horizontal front fixing jigs fixed to the column, and are tilted from bottom to top, from the center of the column towards the end. 【0080】 Figure 49 shows two transmitters positioned back to each other, with their longest dimensions parallel to the vertical (i.e., parallel to the column), and their transmitting surfaces facing opposite directions. 【0081】 Figure 50 shows an example in which a downward-facing transmitter is placed between two transmitters that are positioned diagonally downward, similar to Figure 48. 【0082】 Figure 51 shows an example in which the fixed structures of the pair of transmitters shown in Figure 48 are arranged vertically. However, it is not limited to this arrangement, and three or more sets of transmitters may be arranged vertically. 【0083】 Figure 52 shows an example in which two transmitters are placed above the fixed structure of the three transmitters in Figure 50. 【0084】As described above, this embodiment may include a duct fixing jig. For example, the duct fixing jig may have a vertical plate portion fixed to the side of the wiring duct and a horizontal plate portion intersecting the vertical plate portion at a predetermined angle, and the transmitter may be fixed to the upper or lower surface of the horizontal plate portion. The duct fixing jig is not limited to a type that is fixed to the side of the wiring duct, but may also be installed on the lower or upper surface. The transmitter attached via the fixing jig may be located to the side of the wiring duct, above it, or below it. 【0085】 The duct fixing jig may be an L-shaped jig with an L-shaped cross-section, a U-shaped jig with a U-shaped cross-section, or a T-shaped jig with a T-shaped cross-section. 【0086】 This embodiment may include a duct mounting wire. The transmitter may be suspended and held by the duct mounting wire, which engages with the wiring duct. 【0087】 The wiring duct may be suspended and held in place from the ceiling by multiple wires. The wiring duct may be fixed to the ceiling or to a column. 【0088】 This embodiment may include a column fixing jig. The column fixing jig is not particularly limited in shape, etc., as long as it is fixed to a column and holds the transmitter. Preferably, the column fixing jig can fix multiple transmitters, but it may also be designed to attach only a single transmitter. By attaching multiple transmitters to the fixing jig, the position and angle of multiple transmitters can be adjusted together simply by adjusting the position and angle of the fixing jig. 【0089】 The column fixing jig may be flat (panel-shaped). The column fixing jig may have an opening formed on its back side corresponding to the position of the transmitter fixed thereto. Through the opening, signals from the transmitter's transmitting unit may be transmitted, or the light from the light-emitting part of the transmitter may be visible. For example, a rectangular panel may have multiple horizontally elongated openings. The multiple openings may be arranged vertically with spacing between them, or horizontally with spacing between them. 【0090】 In this embodiment, the column fixing jig may be held in a position tilted diagonally downward with respect to the column, or it may be held parallel to the column (i.e., vertically), or it may be held perpendicular to the column (i.e., horizontally). 【0091】 A pair of column fixing jigs may be attached to both sides of the column (for example, both left and right sides), or one column fixing jig may be provided on the column, or they may be arranged in multiple directions, such as three or four directions, around the column. Multiple column fixing jigs may also be arranged with intervals between them in the vertical direction of the column. 【0092】 Below, using Figures 53 and 54, we will describe an automated zoning generation system, an automated shelf name display system, and a congestion / pedestrian flow visualization system based on shelf location and electronic tag information in a commercial facility. 【0093】 In commercial facilities and malls, there is a growing need to analyze customer movement patterns and purchasing behavior to inform sales promotion strategies. For this purpose, methods such as radio wave positioning for congestion assessment, fixed-point cameras for pedestrian flow observation, and beacons and robots for location measurement are being utilized. 【0094】 However, the following challenges existed: ・Reliance on manual linking of shelf placement and foot traffic. Zoning is necessary for foot traffic analysis and congestion analysis, but traditionally, analysts manually set zones according to shelf placement, which is inefficient and has low reproducibility. ・Spatial environment zones (temperature, humidity, etc.) and foot traffic analysis zones do not coincide. Therefore, it is necessary to create different zones for each analysis axis, but increasing the number of layers indefinitely is not operationally appropriate. ・Difficulty in understanding what is displayed on the shelves. Even if product data exists through electronic price tags, etc., the semantic linking with zones is not automated, and analysts had to make manual judgments. ・Insufficient simultaneous visualization of congestion and foot traffic. Congestion is displayed using heat maps, etc., but there was a lack of methods to simultaneously and intuitively indicate the direction of foot traffic. In light of the above challenges, the objective is to provide a comprehensive analysis system that automatically generates optimal zoning using shelf location information and electronic tag information, automatically suggests shelf names based on the product content within the zones, and further intuitively visualizes congestion and foot traffic. 【0095】 1. Automatic Zoning Generation Based on Shelf Location: Zones are defined using shelf location and front / back information as boundaries. Adjacent zones are color-coded using the four-color theorem. Spaces between shelves and between shelves and walls are identified as "aisle areas" and automatically assigned aisle IDs. Shelf surfaces are extracted, opposing relationships between shelves are detected, aisle groups are integrated using Union-Find, and areas are determined using multi-source BFS. 2. Automatic Shelf Name Presentation Based on Electronic Tag Information: Products are extracted for each zone based on the location of electronic price tags. Shelf names for the corresponding zone are automatically estimated based on product name classification (e.g., "Salt," "Mirin," "Soy Sauce" → "Condiments"). The automatically presented shelf names can be edited by the user later. 3. Congestion Level and Footflow Congestion Level is displayed as a contour graph. Footflow vectors are overlaid on top to visualize the direction of footflow over time. Action vectors show the customer's trajectory, including stops. 【0096】 The present invention provides the following benefits: Automated zoning significantly reduces the workload of analysts. Zones are automatically generated from shelf location information, eliminating the need for manual external shape judgment. Semantically appropriate shelf names are automatically assigned. By using electronic tag information, it becomes possible to automatically understand "what is being sold" within a zone, improving the level of abstraction in analysis. Congestion and foot traffic can be grasped simultaneously. By overlaying contour lines and vectors, the sources of congestion and biases in foot traffic can be intuitively recognized and used for future foot traffic prediction and sales strategies. It can be used for foot traffic tracking and service provision by robots. Past behavior and motivations can be easily estimated, which can be used by robots to make decisions when following up with customers. 【0097】 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. 【0098】1. Zoning Generation Module (1) Extract shelf surface data Extracts shelf position and shelf surface orientation from store layout data. (2) Detect opposing shelf surfaces Extracts pairs (L_a, L_b) that form aisles opposite each other based on the positional relationship between shelf surfaces. (3) Aisle grouping using Union-Find Integrates opposing surface pairs into the same aisle ID to identify continuous aisle areas. (4) Multisource BFS (Breadth First Search) Performs BFS using aisle groups as seeds and colors the areas. (5) Final zone coloring rule using the 4-color theorem Colors adjacent zones so that they do not have the same color, making them visually distinguishable. 2. Automatic Shelf Name Display Module Obtains product information from electronic price tag location Aggregates tags belonging to each zone Classifies product attributes (category estimation) Automatically generates zone names (e.g., "Condiments", "Sweets", "Stationery", etc.) Provides a user-modifiable UI via GUI 3. Congestion and Pedestrian Flow Visualization Module (1) Contour Line Display of Congestion Data Density obtained from sensors / beacons / cameras is plotted as contour lines (see Figure 53) Peak congestion can be intuitively grasped (2) Vector Display of Pedestrian Flow Data Action vectors (direction of movement per unit time, amount of movement, (speed), etc.) are displayed as arrows (see arrows in Figure 53) Movement information including stopping points can be represented (3) Composite Display Contour lines and vectors are superimposed on the same plane, enabling analysis of the causal relationship between congestion and pedestrian flow As shown in Figure 54, by displaying time on the horizontal axis and congestion level on the vertical axis, the congestion level of the customer's movement route can be displayed in chronological order. In other words, it is possible to check how crowded an area was and for how long it took to move through it. 【0099】 While preferred embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the attached drawings, the technical scope of the present disclosure is not limited to such examples.
