JP 2001-44913 A JP 2002-358590 A JP 2002-157511 A

  Conventionally, a system that senses environment-related information such as the amount of pollen scattering or air pollen concentration, the amount of ultraviolet rays, the amount of aerosol, etc., and notifies the user as necessary has been proposed. According to such a system, the phenomenon (for example, hay fever, sunburn, ultraviolet allergy, asthma, etc.) expressed to the user due to predetermined elements such as pollen, ultraviolet rays, aerosols, etc. It is possible to obtain actual measurement values of factors that cause the phenomenon (for example, pollen scattering amount or air pollen concentration, ultraviolet ray amount, aerosol amount, etc.). In addition, there is a system (for example, a pollen scattering amount prediction system) that predicts a predicted amount of a predetermined element for a user in a predetermined area.

  However, the presence / absence of the onset and the onset of symptoms due to pollen, ultraviolet rays, aerosols, and the like vary from user to user depending on the degree of exposure and the degree of continuation of exposure. For this reason, it is difficult to accurately predict whether or not a phenomenon has occurred and the timing of its occurrence with simple notifications and forecasts of actual measurement values using a conventionally proposed system. There was no other way to take countermeasures by analogy with the time of onset.

  In view of the above-described problems, an object of the present invention is to predict an onset time for each user of a phenomenon that occurs in a user due to a predetermined factor.

  The present invention compares the integrated amount until the onset of the phenomenon in the past with the estimated integrated amount for each user for each user, and the date and time when the estimated integrated amount is equal to or greater than the integrated amount until the onset of the past phenomenon. This makes it possible to predict the onset time for each user of the phenomenon that occurs in the user due to a predetermined factor.

  Specifically, the present invention is an environment information providing apparatus for providing information related to a phenomenon that occurs in a user due to a predetermined factor, wherein the phenomenon is first performed in the user during a first predetermined period. Holding means for holding information including the date and time of expression when expressed, and integration of the measured values of the predetermined elements related to the user in the period from the start time to the date and time of expression of the first predetermined period The expression integrated amount calculating means for calculating the expression integrated amount, and the predetermined element related to the user after the start time of the second predetermined period that comes after the first predetermined period has elapsed. A predicted integrated amount calculating means for calculating a predicted integrated amount in advance; and comparing the expression integrated amount with the predicted integrated amount, and specifying a date and time when the predicted integrated amount is equal to or greater than the expression integrated amount. In the present An environment information providing apparatus comprising: an expression date prediction unit that predicts the date and time when the expression occurs; and a notification unit that notifies the user of the date and time predicted by the expression date and time prediction unit in advance as a predicted expression date and time. .

  Here, examples of the phenomenon referred to in the present invention include hay fever, sunburn, ultraviolet allergy, asthma and the like, and the predetermined factors that cause it include pollen scattering amount or air pollen concentration, ultraviolet ray amount, aerosol amount. , Etc. However, the environment information providing device according to the present invention may be any device as long as it is for providing information related to the environment that changes in each region and every hour, and the target phenomenon and the factors that cause it are those exemplified above. It is not limited.

  In addition, the integrated amount calculated in the present invention may be the amount of a predetermined element that is actually exposed by the user, or the amount of scattering or the concentration of the predetermined element in the place where the user is present may be determined by the exposure amount of the user. It may be integrated so as to be able to grasp the degree of. The predetermined period during which the integrated amount is calculated is the first period, and differs depending on the predetermined element to be acquired. Examples of the first predetermined period include a pollen scattering season in which the temperature increases and the amount of pollen scattering increases, a summer season in which the amount of ultraviolet rays increases, and the like. Note that the start date of the predetermined period is preferably set as appropriate according to the embodiment. For example, the start date of the pollen scattering season may be set on January 1 or may be set on the day when pollen scattering is observed for the first time after the end of the previous scattering season. Further, the predetermined period is not limited to the season exemplified above, and can be arbitrarily set. For example, if the type of pollen that is scattered several times a year is the object of observation, it is possible to set multiple “predetermined periods” during one year. By setting the “period” to 1 day, it is possible to predict the occurrence of the phenomenon on the next day based on the integrated amount of the previous day.

  Among the integrated amounts calculated in the present invention, the integrated expression amount for a predetermined period in the past is the integrated amount from the start of the predetermined period to the date and time when the phenomenon first appears in the user. For this reason, the expression integrated amount can be used as a reference for determining how much the user is actually exposed to determine whether the phenomenon appears.

  In the present invention, the predicted integrated amount for the second predetermined period, which is the present or future predetermined period, is calculated and compared with the expression integrated amount serving as a reference for determining the timing of the occurrence of the phenomenon. According to the present invention, this comparison makes it possible to predict the date and time when the phenomenon will occur, and to notify the user of the predicted and predicted date and time of occurrence. The user who has received the notification of the predicted occurrence date and time can take effective preventive measures and prepare in advance after recognizing the time when the phenomenon is predicted to occur. For example, in the case of hay fever, take preventive measures such as starting taking highly effective medicines if you start taking it before onset, and make preparations such as purchasing a sufficient amount of masks and medicines before onset. I can do it.

Further, in the present invention, the predicted integrated amount calculating means calculates a predicted integrated amount from the start time of the second predetermined period to the prediction target date and time in advance for each of the plurality of prediction target dates and times, and the expression date and time The predicting unit compares the predicted integrated amount up to the prediction target date and time calculated by the predicted integrated amount calculating unit with the integrated expression amount, and determines the predicted target date and time related to the predicted integrated amount that is equal to or greater than the integrated expression amount. The date and time when the phenomenon occurs in the user may be predicted.

  More specifically, the predicted integrated amount calculation means obtains a predicted amount every predetermined unit time (for example, every day), and integrates the predicted amount from the start time of the predetermined period to the prediction target date and time. The predicted integrated amount up to the prediction target date / time can be calculated. The predicted integrated amount calculated in this way is compared with the integrated expression amount. If the predicted integrated amount is less than the integrated expression amount, the prediction target date / time is advanced by a predetermined unit time (for example, one day) ahead. Recalculate the predicted integrated amount and re-compare with the integrated expression amount. By repeating the calculation of the predicted integrated amount up to the prediction target date and time and the comparison with the expression integrated amount, the prediction target date and time when the predicted integrated amount is equal to or greater than the expression integrated amount can be specified.

  In addition, the environment information providing apparatus according to the present invention is an action schedule acquisition unit that acquires in advance an action schedule including information indicating a location and a date / time related to a user's action after the start of the second predetermined period. And predicted value acquisition means for acquiring a predicted value of the predetermined element at a location and date / time included in the user's action schedule acquired by the action schedule acquisition means, and calculating the predicted integrated amount The means calculates in advance a predicted integrated amount of the predetermined element related to the user after the start time of the second predetermined period by integrating the predicted values acquired by the predicted value acquiring means. May be.

  Here, the user's action schedule may be acquired based on a schedule registered by the user, or may be acquired based on a user's action history or the like.

  Further, the environment information providing apparatus according to the present invention acquires an action history including information indicating a place and a date / time related to a user's action in a period from the start time to the expression date / time in the first predetermined period. An action history acquisition means; and an actual measurement value acquisition means for acquiring an actual measurement value of the predetermined element at a location and date / time included in the user's action history acquired by the action history acquisition means, The expression integrated amount calculation means integrates the actual measurement values acquired by the actual measurement value acquisition means, so that the predetermined predetermined value related to the user in the period from the start time to the expression date and time of the first predetermined period. The integrated amount of elements may be calculated.

  A user's action history can be grasped based on a schedule registered by the user, position information acquired by a terminal owned by the user, or the like. In addition, as specific information for the user terminal to specify the position, position information acquired using GPS (Global Positioning System), installation position information of a base station used for communication of a mobile phone terminal, wireless It is possible to use access point installation position information used for LAN (Local Area Network) communication, or a combination of these information.

  The environment information providing apparatus according to the present invention further includes a determination unit that determines whether or not a place included in the action history and the action schedule is outdoors, and the expression integrated amount calculation unit includes the actual measurement value. Of the actual measurement values acquired by the acquisition unit, the actual measurement values relating to the place determined to be outdoors by the determination unit are integrated, and the predicted integration amount calculation unit is the predicted value acquired by the prediction value acquisition unit Among them, the predicted values related to the place determined to be outdoors by the determination means may be integrated.

  The environment information providing apparatus according to the present invention further includes a determination unit that determines whether or not a place included in the action history and the action schedule is outdoors, and the actual measurement value acquisition unit is determined by the determination unit. The measured value of the predetermined element at a place and date / time determined to be outdoor is acquired, and the predicted value acquisition means is the predetermined element at the location / date / time determined to be outdoor by the determination means. The predicted value may be acquired.

  The determination by the determination means may be performed by, for example, matching the location information of the place included in the action history or the action schedule and the map information, or based on the name or attribute of the place included in the action history or the action schedule. It may be performed based on the moving speed of the user. For example, by determining what range the moving speed is, whether it is a movement by walking (that is, outdoors) or a movement by some vehicle such as a car or a train (that is, indoors). Judgment can be made. The base station installation position information and access point installation position information described above can also be used supplementarily to determine whether or not a place included in the user's action history or action schedule is outdoors.

  Note that in the above-described integrated amount calculation means, the actual measurement value or the predicted value is integrated by a method in which it is integrated if it is outdoors and is not integrated if it is indoors. However, instead of such a method, a method of changing the weighting at the time of integration based on whether or not the vehicle is outdoors may be employed. For example, the measured value or predicted value of the place determined to be outdoor as a result of the determination is integrated as it is, and the actual measured value or predicted value of the place determined to be indoor is corrected using a predetermined coefficient and then integrated. May be adopted.

  Furthermore, the present invention can be understood as a method executed by a computer or a program executed by a computer. Further, the present invention may be a program in which such a program is recorded on a recording medium readable by a computer, other devices, machines, or the like.

Here, the sensor 5 is preferably provided at a point suitable for obtaining target environment-related information. For example, the sensor 5 for measuring pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration may be provided in a well-ventilated place such as a base station, a relay box, a rooftop of a building, a vending machine, a gas station, or a station. However, the installation positions of the sensor 5 and the measurement data collection device 4 are not limited to the locations exemplified above, and are preferably installed in the user's action range or in a pollen generation site such as a cedar forest. The collected measurement data is sent to the data server 3 using a communication network as a measurement data collection network.

  The data server 3 is a server for accumulating measurement data collected and transmitted by the measurement data collection device 4. Specifically, the data server 3 is a computer that manages a measurement value database, and the measurement value database stores various environment-related information including pollen scattering amount / air pollen concentration at measurement points (locations where sensors 5 are installed). ) And the measurement date and time. The measurement data included in the measurement value database is provided from the data server 3 in response to a request from the content server 2 or is automatically provided from the data server 3 to the content server 2.

  The content server 2 is a server for providing various contents to the mobile terminal 9 owned by the user. The content server 2 according to the present embodiment predicts the day on which the onset of the initial symptoms of hay fever in this season is predicted for each user, based on the actually measured value and the predicted value of the pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration, Notify this user of this information.

  The behavior estimation server 6 stores the user's schedule (behavior schedule) notified (uploaded) via the network using the mobile terminal 9 or the like in association with the user identification information. The schedule notified from the user includes information indicating the place where the user is scheduled to visit and the date and time of visiting the place.

However, the function provided by the behavior estimation server 6 is a part of the function realized by the content server 2. It may be realized.

  The action history server 7 stores the action history of the user regularly notified (uploaded) via the network using the mobile terminal 9 or the like in association with the user identification information. The action history includes information indicating a place visited by the user and a date and time when the user visited the place. That is, the current position information of the mobile terminal 9 automatically transmitted from the user's mobile terminal 9 is periodically registered in the action history server. The action history server can grasp the action history of the user by referring to the position information of the mobile terminal 9 registered regularly. Furthermore, in the behavior history server, the user's past schedule information is acquired from the behavior estimation server or the like and associated with the user identification information and accumulated as the behavior history. In this embodiment, an example in which the action history server 7 is prepared separately from the content server 2 will be described. However, the function provided by the action history server 7 is a part of the function realized by the content server 2. It may be realized.

  In the present embodiment, the mobile terminal 9 is a mobile device capable of communicating via a mobile phone network, and has a function of specifying the current position based on information acquired from GPS and / or a base station in communication. . In the present embodiment, an application for receiving an information providing service by the environment information providing system is installed in the mobile terminal 9, and the mobile terminal 9 transmits and receives information to and from the content server by this application. And a terminal having an automatic tracking function to be described later. However, other information processing terminals having a communication function may be used as the terminal owned by the user.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an outline of a functional configuration of the content server 2 according to the present embodiment. The content server 2 reads the environment information providing program recorded in the storage device 14a into the RAM 13a and executes it by the CPU 11a, whereby the holding unit 21, the receiving unit 22, the actual measurement value acquiring unit 23, The integrated expression amount calculation unit 24, the transmission unit (notification unit) 25, the predicted value acquisition unit 27, the predicted integrated amount calculation unit 26, the determination unit 28, the onset date prediction unit 29, and the action history acquisition unit 30.

Specifically, a record for each user is stored in the user database in association with user identification information. The user record includes the user's personal information (name, address, phone number, office, commuting route, etc.), conventional symptoms (sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, itching), and conventional measures ( The type of medicine used, etc.), initial symptom information (date and place when symptoms first occurred in pollen season), and occasional symptom information (date and location when symptoms occurred during pollen season) , Season accumulated amount that is the accumulated amount in this season's pollen scattering season, accumulated expression amount that is the accumulated amount from the start of scattering until the onset date of the initial symptoms in the past scattering season, and the start date of pollen scattering in this season Thereafter, a predicted season integrated amount that is an integrated amount up to the prediction target date, and a threshold at which a symptom appears when the pollen scattering amount / air pollen concentration exceeds this value for the user. , It is recorded.

<Process flow>
Next, the flow of processing executed by the environment information providing system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described using a flowchart.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a flow of initial registration processing and schedule / action history notification processing according to the present embodiment. The initial registration process according to the present embodiment is started when an initial registration request is transmitted from the mobile terminal 9 owned by the user. Note that the specific contents and processing order of the processing shown in this flowchart are examples for carrying out the present invention. Specific processing contents and processing order may be appropriately selected according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  In steps S101 and S102, an initial registration request, transmission / reception of information necessary for initial registration, and initial registration processing are performed. The initial registration request includes user identification information, personal information of the user, conventional symptoms in hay fever, conventional measures against hay fever, and the like. When the initial registration request transmitted from the mobile terminal 9 owned by the user is received by the receiving unit 22, the content server 2 creates a record of the user related to the request in the user database, and includes the information included in the request. Based on that, register personal information, conventional symptoms and conventional measures. Records in the user database are recorded in association with user identification information, and can be read in response to a request from the system. When the initial registration is completed, the content server 2 waits for a schedule / action history notification by the user's mobile terminal 9 or the like.

  In step S103 and step S104, a schedule / action history notification is transmitted and received, and the user's schedule (action schedule) and action history are accumulated in the action estimation server and the action history server. After the initial registration, the user uploads his / her schedule via the network using the mobile terminal 9 or the like (step S103). The schedule includes information indicating a place where the user is scheduled to visit and a date and time when the user visits the place. The behavior estimation server that has received the schedule stores the schedule transmitted from the user in association with the user identification information as the user's behavior schedule. Further, after the initial registration, the user uploads his / her action history via the network using the mobile terminal 9 or the like (step 104). The action history includes information indicating a place visited by the user and a date and time when the user visited the place. The behavior history server that has received the behavior history accumulates the behavior history transmitted from the user in association with the user identification information.

  Note that the mobile terminal 9 used in the present embodiment has an automatic tracking function, and the mobile terminal 9 automatically measures the current position information using the GPS and / or the communicating base station, and records the action history. The user's action history is automatically transmitted to the server. The automatic positioning may be performed at the timing of switching the base station to be communicated or at the timing when it is determined that the terminal has moved by the acceleration sensor mounted on the mobile terminal 9, or periodically (for example, every 5 minutes) May be executed. The automatic tracking function is preferably always operating in the background in the mobile terminal 9. The automatic tracking function may be provided by an application provided to the mobile terminal 9.

For this reason, the current position information of the mobile terminal 9 automatically transmitted from the user's mobile terminal 9 is periodically registered in the action history server. The action history server can grasp the action history of the user by referring to the position information of the mobile terminal 9 registered regularly. However, the notification of the current position information of the user may be performed by the user operating a tracking application installed in the mobile terminal 9 without using the automatic tracking function. For example, each time a user starts a tracking application and moves a location, the user performs an operation assigned to the “current position detection and notification” function, thereby notifying the action history server of the current position information. I can do it.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the initial reporting process and the occasional reporting process according to the present embodiment. After completing the initial registration, the content server 2 waits for an initial report from the user's mobile terminal 9. In steps S105 to S107, an initial report is transmitted and received, and initial symptom information is recorded. After the initial registration, the user initially contains information indicating the date and place of onset where initial symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, itchy eyes and itching were first manifested after January 1 of the current year. The report is transmitted from the portable terminal 9 to the content server 2 together with the user identification information (step S105). In this embodiment, the date for initial reporting is set to January 1, but instead, the start date for hay fever season and the start date for pollen scattering are used as the date for initial reporting. It is good.

  In addition, when the initial report is performed immediately after the onset of the initial symptoms, the mobile terminal 9 automatically sets the current date and time as the onset date and time included in the initial report, and is mounted on the mobile terminal 9 as the onset location. Alternatively, the current position specified by the GPS or the communicating base station may be set automatically. However, when the initial symptom manifestation is past for a certain period of time, the user performs an operation of inputting the initial symptom manifestation location and the date and time of occurrence on the portable terminal 9 and transmitting them to the content server 2.

  The receiving unit 22 of the content server 2 receives the initial report transmitted from the mobile terminal 9 (step S106). And the holding | maintenance part 21 of the content server 2 records the expression date and time location included in an initial report as initial symptom information in the user's record concerning reception in step S106 in a user database (step S107).

  Furthermore, the actual measurement value acquisition unit 23 of the content server 2 requests the data server 3 for an actual measurement value of pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration, using the date and place where the initial symptom is expressed as a search key included in the initial report ( Step S108). In other words, the actual measurement value acquisition unit 23 requests the data server 3 for data on the amount of pollen scattering / airborne pollen concentration at the date and time of occurrence of the initial symptoms of the user. The data server 3 that has received the request reads out the pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration at the location and date / time from the measurement value database, and transmits them to the content server 2.

  When the content server 2 acquires from the data server 3 the amount of pollen scattering / airborne pollen concentration at the onset date and time of the place where the initial symptom appears, the content server 2 acquires from the data server 3 the user record received in step S104 in the user database. The pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration thus recorded is recorded as a threshold value of the amount of pollen scattering / airborne pollen concentration at which a symptom of hay fever appears in the corresponding user (step S109). When the initial setting of the threshold is completed, the content server 2 thereafter records the symptom and updates the threshold as needed according to the occasional report in step S107.

From step S111 to step S115, reports are transmitted and received at any time, and the threshold is updated. After the initial report, when an occasional symptom such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, itching, etc. occurs, the user uses the mobile terminal 9 to report the occasional report including information indicating the date and place where the symptom occurred at any time. Then, it is transmitted to the content server 2 together with the user identification information (step S111). In addition, when an occasional report is made immediately after the onset of symptoms, the current date and time are automatically set as the onset date, the current position is specified by GPS or the base station in communication, and is automatically set as the onset location. This may be the same as in the initial report.

  The receiving unit 22 of the content server 2 receives the occasional report transmitted from the mobile terminal 9 (step S112). Then, the content server 2 records the onset date and the place of occurrence included in the occasional report as the occasional symptom information in the user record indicated by the user identification information of the occasional report. In addition, the actual value acquisition unit 23 of the content server 2 uses the date and time and place where the symptom occurred as a search key included in the occasional report to the data server 3 for the occurrence of the place where the user symptom occurred. An actual measurement value of pollen scattering amount / air pollen concentration at the date and time is requested (step S113). The data server 3 that has received the request reads out the pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration and the location and date / time of the request from the measurement value database, and transmits them to the content server 2.

  When the content server 2 acquires from the data server 3 the amount of pollen scattering / airborne pollen concentration at the onset date and time of the place where the symptom has developed from time to time, the content of the pollen scattering / airborne pollen concentration acquired from the data server 3 and the corresponding user's The current threshold value set in the record is compared (step S114). If the acquired pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration (that is, the actual pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration when symptoms appear to the user in the latest ad hoc report) is equal to or greater than the current threshold, the threshold is updated. I will not. On the other hand, when the acquired pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration is smaller than the current threshold, the threshold update unit 24 of the content server 2 updates the threshold with the acquired pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration ( Step S115). Even after this update process, the content server 2 determines whether or not the threshold needs to be updated every time a report is received from the user's portable terminal 9, and updates the threshold if necessary. However, depending on the embodiment, the threshold value may be updated based on the latest expression location, pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration at the expression date and time, without comparison with the current threshold value.

  The sensitivity to the user's pollen is considered to gradually increase after the start of pollen scattering, and it is considered that the scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration at which symptoms appear gradually decreases. In addition, the intensity of allergic symptoms is not constant, and may vary with time (long-term or short-term). In this case, there is a possibility that the scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration at which symptoms develop will vary. In the environmental information providing apparatus according to the present embodiment, the threshold corresponding to the latest user sensitivity is always held by updating the threshold according to the result of the report as needed. However, when the lower threshold value is always adopted, there is a possibility that the threshold value is set lower than necessary due to the occasional report made when the physical condition is in a poor state as compared with the normal condition. For this reason, the content server 2 may initialize or change the threshold value by receiving a threshold value reset request, a threshold value change request, or the like transmitted from the mobile terminal 9.

  Note that various methods can be adopted as an information transmission / reception method between the mobile terminal 9 and the content server 2 in the above-described initial registration, schedule registration, action history notification, initial report, and the like. For example, information may be transmitted / received from a mobile terminal 9 that has accessed a Web page provided by the content server 2 using a mechanism such as CGI, or information may be transmitted / received via e-mail.

  Next, the flow of the process for predicting the day when the symptom of hay fever will appear to the user will be described using FIG. 6, FIG. 7A and FIG. The processes shown in FIGS. 6, 7A, and 7B are preferably executed before the start of the pollen scattering season, and the user is notified of the predicted expression date before the start of the pollen scattering season. In the present embodiment, “the amount of pollen scattering / aerial pollen concentration” is not the amount of pollen actually ingested or contacted by the user, but the amount of pollen scattering / aerial pollen at the place where the user was present. The concentration is integrated in order to make it possible to grasp the degree of user exposure to pollen.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an outline of processing according to the present embodiment for specifying a date and time when a hay fever symptom is predicted to occur in a user. The environment information providing system 1 according to the present embodiment identifies the predicted expression date when the season predicted integrated amount is equal to or greater than the expression integrated amount by comparing the expression integrated amount with the season predicted integrated amount. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing for calculating the integrated expression amount indicated by oblique lines in the graph shown in the upper part of FIG. 8, and FIGS. 7A and 7B are graphs shown in the lower part of FIG. It is a flowchart which shows the flow of the process for calculating the season prediction integration amount shown by the oblique line, and specifying a prediction expression date compared with an expression integration amount.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of the integrated expression amount calculation process according to the present embodiment. The integrated expression amount calculation process according to the present embodiment is automatically executed by the content server 2. In the following description, the case where the integrated expression amount calculation process is executed before the start of a new pollen season will be described. However, the integrated expression amount calculation process is initially reported from the mobile terminal 9 of the user. It may be executed when the onset date and time of the initial symptom is found, or may be executed in preparation for the next scattering season after the end of the pollen scattering season. Since the calculated integrated expression amount is held in the record of the corresponding user in the user database, the information can be carried over to the next flying season and used for the expression date prediction process (see FIGS. 7A and 7B). Note that the specific contents and processing order of the processing shown in this flowchart are examples for carrying out the present invention. Specific processing contents and processing order may be appropriately selected according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  In step S201, the user's action history in the previous pollen scattering season (hereinafter referred to as "last season") is acquired. The action history acquisition unit 30 of the content server 2 acquires the action history of the user from the start of last season to the date and time of appearance of the initial symptom by making an inquiry to the action history server. Here, the onset date and time of the initial symptom of the corresponding user is acquired by reading the information recorded in step S107 from the user database. As described above, in the present embodiment, the current position information of the mobile terminal 9 specified by using the automatic tracking function of the user's mobile terminal 9 is continuously registered in the action history server. It is associated with user identification information and accumulated as an action history. The automatic positioning may be performed at the timing of switching the base station to be communicated or at the timing when it is determined that the terminal has moved by the acceleration sensor mounted on the mobile terminal 9, or periodically (for example, every 5 minutes) May be executed. Furthermore, in the behavior history server, the user's past schedule information is acquired from the behavior estimation server or the like and associated with the user identification information and accumulated as the behavior history. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S202.

  In step S202, an actual measurement value of the amount of pollen scattering / air pollen concentration in the area included in the user's behavior history from the start of last season to the onset date of the initial symptom is acquired. . The actual measurement value acquisition unit 23 of the content server 2 requests the data server 3 for the area and date pollen scattering amount / air pollen concentration included in the acquired user action history. When the data server 3 receives the pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration acquisition request from the content server 2, the data server 3 is reported from the measurement data collection device 4 that collects the measurement data from the sensor 5 installed at a point including the corresponding area. In addition, the measured value of pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration at the date and time when the user was in the area is returned to the content server 2. The content server 2 acquires the amount of pollen scattering / airborne pollen concentration transmitted by the data server 3 as the amount of pollen scattered / airborne pollen concentration in the area included in the user's behavior history when the user was in the area. . The content server 2 acquires pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration for all regions and dates accumulated as user's behavior history. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S203.

In step S203, the amount of pollen scattering / airborne pollen concentration in the user's actual action history from the start of last season to the date and time of onset of initial symptoms (hereinafter referred to as the expression cumulative amount).
Is calculated. The integrated expression amount calculation unit 24 of the content server 2 integrates the pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration acquired in step S202 to obtain the integrated expression amount (see the hatched portion of the graph shown in the upper part of FIG. 8). calculate.

  Here, in this embodiment, the integrated expression amount calculation unit 24 of the content server 2 integrates the amount of pollen scattering / airborne pollen concentration in the corresponding region / date only when the region visited by the user is estimated to be outdoors. To do. For example, the determination unit 28 of the content server 2 specifies the location indicated by the position information in the action history in the map information, and refers to the attribute given to the location referred to by the map information, so that the user visits Determine whether the location is outdoors. For example, if the location indicated in the position information is a road, park, outdoor space, etc. on the map information, it can be determined that it is outdoors, and if it is in a train, subway, building, etc. Can be determined. At this time, the base station information and the access point information may be used supplementarily to improve the accuracy of the determination as to whether or not the vehicle is outdoors.

  Further, the determination unit 28 of the content server 2 calculates the moving speed of the user based on the distance between the two points in the action history and the time taken for the movement, and the user visits based on the calculated moving speed. It is also possible to determine whether or not the location is outdoors. The determination unit 28 is applicable when the calculated moving speed is within a range where the user's moving means can be estimated to be walking and the moving route can be estimated from the base station information or the like that the moving route is not an underground mall or the like. It is determined that the user was outdoors at the date and time. On the other hand, the content server 2 determines that the user's moving means is not within the range that can be estimated to be walking (when it can be estimated that the user has moved using some vehicle such as a car or train), or the base station information If it can be estimated from the above that the travel route is an underground mall or the like, it is determined that the user was indoors at the corresponding date and time.

  When it is determined that the user is outdoors at the corresponding date and time, the integrated expression amount calculation unit 24 integrates the corresponding place and date and time out of the pollen scattering amount / air pollen concentration acquired in step S202. On the other hand, when it is determined that the user is indoors at the relevant date and time, the integrated expression amount calculating unit 24 does not accumulate the corresponding place and date and time among the pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration acquired in step S202. When the calculation of the integrated amount is completed, the process proceeds to step S204.

  In step S204, the calculated integrated expression amount is associated with the user identification information and recorded in the user database. Thereafter, the process proceeds to the expression date prediction process described with reference to FIGS. 7A and 7B. In addition, in this embodiment, after acquiring the measured value of the pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration in the area / date and time related to the user's action history, it is determined whether or not the corresponding area is outdoors and integrated. However, instead of such a processing order, it is determined whether or not the corresponding area is outdoor before obtaining the actual measurement value, and the amount of pollen scattering / in the air only for the area determined to be outdoor. It is good also as acquiring and integrating the measured value of pollen concentration.

  7A and 7B are flowcharts showing the flow of the expression date prediction process according to the present embodiment. The expression date prediction process according to the present embodiment is automatically executed by the content server 2 after the integrated expression amount calculation process described with reference to FIG. Note that the specific contents and processing order of the processing shown in this flowchart are examples for carrying out the present invention. Specific processing contents and processing order may be appropriately selected according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  In step S301, a prediction target date is set. The prediction target date is a variable used in the processing shown in this flowchart. In this flowchart, the calculation of the predicted cumulative amount on the prediction target date and the update of the prediction target date are repeated, so that the seasonal predicted cumulative amount is calculated. The At the start of the expression date prediction process, the content server 2 sets the pollen start date for this season as the initial value of the prediction target date.

  In step S302, the user's daily action schedule on the prediction target date is acquired. The action schedule acquisition unit 31 of the content server 2 acquires the user's action schedule of the prediction target day by making an inquiry to the action estimation server. The behavior estimation server predicts the behavior of the user on the prediction target day in response to a request from the content server 2 or prior to a request from the content server 2. This prediction is performed based on the user schedule accumulated in step S103 and the user action history accumulated in step S104. Specifically, the behavior estimation server obtains a place and a day visited by the user by referring to the accumulated schedule information of the user. Furthermore, the behavior estimation server predicts user behavior that cannot be specified by referring to the schedule information based on the schedule information and the behavior history. When the daily action schedule of the user on the prediction target date is acquired, the process proceeds to step S303.

  The user's action history can be acquired from the action history server. As described above, in the present embodiment, the current position information of the mobile terminal 9 specified by using the automatic tracking function of the user's mobile terminal 9 is continuously registered in the action history server. It is associated with user identification information and accumulated as an action history. The automatic positioning may be performed at the timing of switching the base station to be communicated or at the timing when it is determined that the terminal has moved by the acceleration sensor mounted on the mobile terminal 9, or periodically (for example, every 5 minutes) May be executed. Furthermore, in the behavior history server, the user's past schedule information is acquired from the behavior estimation server or the like and associated with the user identification information and accumulated as the behavior history.

  User behavior (user position at a predetermined date and time) can be predicted by specifying a user behavior pattern (combination of time zone and place) based on the user behavior history and applying it to a future date and time. . Since the behavior pattern varies depending on the date and time attributes (weekdays, holidays, seasons, etc.), it is preferable to obtain the user's behavior history in consideration of the date and time attributes to be predicted, learn the behavior pattern, and perform prediction. . For example, by summing up a user's travel route on a weekday over a predetermined period, a place where the user is most likely to be located can be specified for each time zone on a weekday. In addition, prediction of user behavior can be performed in consideration of a schedule registered by the user. For example, when the user is supposed to move between two points in the schedule, the place between the two points and the elapsed date and time of the place can be predicted.

  In step S303 and step S304, the pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration in the region and date / time specified from the user's action schedule is predicted. The actual value acquisition unit 23 of the content server 2 obtains information necessary for predicting the amount of pollen scattering / air pollen concentration at the date and time of visiting the place visited by the user acquired in step S302. (Step S303). The actual measurement value acquisition unit 23 includes, for example, weather information (past information and forecast information) such as precipitation, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind direction / wind speed, etc. as information necessary for predicting pollen scattering / airborne pollen concentration, past Request the measured value of the amount of pollen scattered / airborne pollen concentration. When the data server 3 receives an information acquisition request from the content server 2, the data server 3 collects measurement data reported from the measurement data collection device 4 and accumulated and past data acquired and accumulated from an external server that distributes weather information. Weather data, forecast data, and the like are returned to the content server 2.

Then, based on the environment-related information acquired from the data server 3, the predicted value acquisition unit 27 of the content server 2 predicts the pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration at the date and time when the user visits the location (step). S304). However, the prediction of pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration may not be performed by the content server 2, but may be performed by a separately installed prediction server (not shown). When the prediction server performs prediction of pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration, the content server 2 acquires the predicted pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration of the place visited by the user at the date and time of visiting the place from the prediction server. When the amount of pollen scattering / airborne pollen concentration in the area and date / time specified from the user's action schedule is predicted, the process proceeds to step S305.

  For the prediction of pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration, conventionally used pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration prediction technology can be used. For example, by considering the previous day's pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration, the amount of pollen flying from the place of occurrence, the amount of airborne pollen concentration / airborne pollen concentration, etc. Airborne pollen concentration can be calculated. It should be noted that the amount of pollen flying from the place of occurrence can be predicted from the amount of pollen generated in the place of occurrence of pollen and the wind direction / wind speed. In addition, the influence on the amount of pollen scattering / airborne pollen concentration due to the weather, for example, the pollen falls during rainy weather and the amount of scattering decreases or the airborne pollen concentration decreases. When the wind blows in fine weather, the pollen that has fallen rises and the amount of scattered / airborne pollen concentration increases. In addition, the fallen pollen releases an allergen by being partially destroyed when it is lifted. In addition, various methods may be adopted for the prediction of the scattering amount / air pollen concentration. When the prediction of pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration ends, the process proceeds to step S305. In the present embodiment, the content server 2 acquires environment-related information necessary for prediction and predicts pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration at a predetermined location and date / time. The content server 2 may acquire the predicted scattering amount / air pollen concentration from an external forecast server.

  In step S305, it is determined whether or not the predicted pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration is equal to or higher than the threshold value of the corresponding user. In step S304, when the amount of pollen scattering / aerial pollen concentration at the date and time when the user visits the site is predicted, the determination unit 28 of the content server 2 determines the corresponding user threshold (the symptom of hay fever to the user). Is read from the user database as the pollen scattering amount / air pollen concentration expressed in step S109 or step S115), and this threshold value is compared with the predicted pollen scattering amount / air pollen concentration. As a result of the comparison, when the predicted pollen scattering amount / air pollen concentration is less than the threshold value, the process proceeds to step S306. On the other hand, when the predicted pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration is equal to or higher than the threshold value, the symptom is presented to the user only by exposure on the currently set prediction target date, regardless of the season prediction integrated amount up to the prediction target date. Therefore, the process proceeds to step S309.

  In step S306, the amount of pollen scattering / air pollen concentration in the behavior of the prediction target day is calculated, and further, the amount of pollen scattering in the user's action schedule from the start date of pollen scattering in this season to the prediction target date / The accumulated amount of airborne pollen concentration (season predicted accumulated amount) is calculated. The predicted integrated amount calculation unit 26 of the content server 2 calculates the total (integrated amount) of the pollen scattering amount / air pollen concentration on the prediction target day by integrating the pollen scattering amount / air pollen concentration predicted in step S304. To do. Further, the predicted integrated amount calculation unit 26 of the content server 2 integrates the integrated amount of the prediction target day with the season predicted integrated amount of the user database, so that the season predicted integrated amount up to the currently set prediction target date is obtained. Calculate (refer to the shaded portion of the graph shown in the lower part of FIG. 8). It should be noted that “0” is set as the initial value for the predicted season integration amount before the start of the processing shown in this flowchart. When the season prediction integration amount up to the currently set prediction target date is calculated, the process proceeds to step S307.

Here, in the present embodiment, the predicted integrated amount calculation unit 26 of the content server 2 integrates the pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration in the corresponding region / date only when it is estimated that the place visited by the user is outdoors. . For example, the content server 2 can determine whether the place visited by the user is outdoors based on the name of the place registered as the user's action schedule and the corresponding map information. When the content server 2 determines that the place visited by the user is outdoors, the content server 2 accumulates the corresponding place / date and time among the pollen scattering amount / airborne pollen concentration predicted in step S304. On the other hand, when the content server 2 determines that the place visited by the user is indoors, the content server 2 does not accumulate the corresponding place / date and time among the pollen scattering amount / air pollen concentration predicted in step S304.

  In step S307, the season predicted integrated amount up to the prediction target date is compared with the expression integrated amount of last season. The expression date and time prediction unit 29 of the content server 2 calculates the season predicted integrated amount up to the currently set prediction target date calculated in step S306 and the corresponding user stored in the user database calculated in step S203. The integrated expression amount is compared. As a result of this comparison, it is determined whether or not the season prediction integrated amount up to the currently set prediction target date exceeds the past expression integrated amount, that is, on the currently set prediction target date, It can be determined whether or not the pollen has been exposed to pollen to the same extent as when the initial symptoms of hay fever have developed. As a result of the comparison, if it is determined that the season predicted integrated amount up to the prediction target date is less than the expression integrated amount of last season, the process proceeds to step S308.

  Note that if the user's situation can be acquired based on the user's action schedule, other registered personal information, etc., the accumulated expression amount calculated in the process shown in FIG. 6 is corrected. Good. For example, if it can be determined that the user's sleep time is insufficient based on the action schedule, or if it can be determined that the user is currently in the hospital, it can be assumed that the user's physical condition is not perfect. Correction may be performed so that the integrated amount is lower than the value calculated by the processing shown in FIG.

  In step S308, the prediction target date is updated. The content server 2 updates the prediction target date by setting the prediction target date one day ahead of the current prediction target date (incrementing the prediction target date). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S302, where the updated predicted integrated amount for the prediction target date is calculated, and the season predicted integrated amount up to the updated prediction target date is calculated (see steps S302 to S307). That is, according to the processing shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 7A and 7B, the processing from step S302 to step S307 is repeated until the prediction target date when the season predicted integrated amount is equal to or greater than the expression integrated amount. As a result of the comparison in step S307, when it is determined that the season predicted integrated amount up to the prediction target date is equal to or greater than the expression integrated amount of last season, the process proceeds to step S309.

  In step S309, the predicted onset date is notified to the user. The expression date / time prediction unit 29 of the content server 2 determines in step S305 that the predicted pollen scattering amount / air pollen concentration is determined to be greater than or equal to the threshold, or in step S307 the season until the prediction target date. The prediction target date when it is determined that the predicted integrated amount is equal to or higher than the expression integrated amount of last season is a predicted expression date on which the initial symptoms of hay fever are predicted to occur in the user (see FIG. 8). ). And the transmission part 25 of the content server 2 transmits the message containing a prediction expression date with respect to a user's portable terminal 9. FIG. Thereafter, the processing shown in this flowchart ends.

  The message including the predicted onset date can be, for example, “Your hay fever onset date is predicted to be the month of the month. The user can know the date on which the initial symptoms of hay fever are predicted to appear from this predicted onset date transmitted to the mobile terminal 9, and can be used for the prevention of the onset of symptoms. Note that the user's actual behavior is continuously transmitted to and stored in the behavior history server by the automatic tracking function provided in the mobile terminal 9, so that it is prepared for prediction in the pollen scattering season from next year. (See step S104 in FIG. 4).

  According to the environmental information providing system according to the present embodiment, the user can know the predicted onset date, and therefore, an effective preventive measure can be taken after recognizing the time when the initial symptoms of hay fever are predicted. You can prepare and prepare in advance. For example, a user can take preventive measures such as starting taking a highly effective medicine when taking the medicine before onset, and can make preparations such as purchasing a sufficient amount of mask or medicine before the onset. .
