  The electric device operation information acquisition unit 11 acquires electric device operation information indicating the operation state of each of the plurality of electric devices 50 installed in a predetermined unit.

  The predetermined unit is, for example, one house, one store, one company, one building where a plurality of homes, a plurality of stores, a plurality of companies, etc. exist, a plurality of houses, stores, companies, etc. 1 It may be one community. Similarly, a unit for each branch of the distribution board 90 installed in one house, store, company or the like can be set as a predetermined unit. The predetermined unit is a unit capable of acquiring measurement data including at least one of total current consumption (instantaneous value), total power consumption (instantaneous value), and voltage (instantaneous value) within the unit.

Using the characteristic amount (characteristic amount in each operation state) of each electric device 50 that is present, the operation state of each electric device 50 is specified, and information indicating the specified operation state (electric device operation information) is generated. . Since the process of specifying the operating state of each electrical device 50 from the measurement data can be realized according to the conventional technology, the description thereof is omitted here.

  Note that the home device 100 extracts the feature amount from the measurement data, and the feature amount of the electric device 50 installed in the user's home 70 held in advance (the feature amount in each operation state). ) May be used to identify the operating state of each electrical device 50 and generate electrical device operation information. Then, the electric appliance operation information acquisition unit 11 may acquire electric appliance operation information from the in-home device 100.

  The electric device operation information acquisition unit 11 may acquire electric device operation information and / or power usage information in real time, or at predetermined timing (eg, every 5 seconds, every 1 minute, every 30 minutes, or 1 hour). Every 6 hours, every day), the data up to that time may be acquired together. In any case, the power usage information and the electric equipment operation information are associated with the year / month / day / time information.

  Returning to FIG. 4, the user status information acquisition unit 12 acquires user status information indicating the status of the user who owns the mobile terminal device 40 from the mobile terminal device 40 registered in advance. The user can register the mobile terminal device 40 owned by the user in the management device 10. Through the registration process, the address information of the portable terminal device 40 is registered in the management device 10. Further, the address information of the management device 10 may be registered in the mobile terminal device 40. In the case of the configuration in FIG. 2, the management device 10 stores the address information of the mobile terminal device 40 in association with the user identification information, the identification information of the in-home device 100 installed in the user's home 70, and the like.

  By the way, there may be a case where there are a plurality of users whose homes are homes 70. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the mobile terminal device 40 owned by each of a plurality of users may be registered. FIG. 5 schematically shows an example of registration information. In the case of the illustrated example, the address information of the mobile terminal device 40 owned by each user is registered in association with the user name of each of the plurality of users.

  The user status information acquired by the user status information acquisition unit 12 from the mobile terminal device 40 includes any information that can be acquired by the mobile terminal device 40. For example, when the mobile terminal device 40 has a function of acquiring position information such as an outdoor position or an indoor position, the user situation information acquisition unit 12 can acquire position information as user situation information. The acquisition of the position information can be realized using techniques such as GPS (Global Positioning System), WiFi positioning, use of base station information, IMES (Indoor Messaging System), but is not limited thereto. In addition, when the mobile terminal device 40 includes an illuminance sensor, a microphone, a camera, and the like, the user situation information acquisition unit 12 can obtain illuminance information, volume information, an image, and the like as the user situation information.

  There are various timings at which the user status information acquisition unit 12 acquires the user status information from the mobile terminal device 40. For example, the user status information acquisition unit 12 may transmit a request for user status information to each mobile terminal device 40 at a predetermined timing (eg, periodically or intermittently). And the portable terminal device 40 may collect the newest user situation information according to it, and may return the collected latest user situation information to the user situation information acquisition part 12, if a request is received. Alternatively, each mobile terminal device 40 collects the latest user status information at a predetermined timing (eg, periodically or intermittently), and the collected latest user status information is voluntarily sent to the user status information acquisition unit 12. You may send it. In any case, the user status information is associated with the date / time information, and can be synchronized with the electric device operation information.

  The life pattern estimation unit 13 uses the electrical device operation information acquired by the electrical device operation information acquisition unit 11 and the user status information acquired by the user status information acquisition unit 12 to live in a predetermined unit ( A life pattern of a user who uses a predetermined unit as a living base is estimated. For example, the life pattern estimation unit 13 estimates the usage pattern of the electric device 50 by the user as the life pattern. The life pattern estimation unit 13 acquires environmental information that may affect the usage status of the electric device 50 such as temperature and weather from the information providing server 60, and further uses the environmental information to determine the user's life pattern. It may be estimated.

  The user status information and the electrical device operation information acquired by the electrical device operation information acquisition unit 11 and the user status information acquisition unit 12 are the history of actions actually performed by the user (changing the operation state of the electrical device 50, moving the user, etc.). By analyzing these, it is possible to estimate the lifestyle actually performed by the user in the past. A user's lifestyle pattern is a lifestyle actually performed in the past by a user that can be estimated from user status information and electrical equipment operation information (and may include environmental information). It may be a lifestyle that appears 5 times or more, 4 times a week, etc.).

  Hereinafter, an example of the life pattern estimated by the life pattern estimation unit 13 will be described.

  For example, the life pattern estimation unit 13 specifies the user's return timing (return time) using the user's location information, which is user status information, and the location information of the user's home 70 that is held in advance. (The timing when the user's position is changed from the position outside the user's home 70 to the position). Then, the life pattern estimation unit 13 uses the identified return home timing and electrical device operation information to change the operation state change timing of each of the electrical devices 50 starting from the user's return home timing (e.g., from the power OFF state to the power supply) Change to the ON state) can be estimated as the user's life pattern.

  As a specific example, a life pattern of “the operation state of the air conditioner changes from the power OFF state to the power ON state within 5 minutes after returning home” can be considered. Furthermore, using the environmental information, a life pattern of “if the temperature is 5 ° C. or lower, the air conditioner operation state changes from the power OFF state to the power ON state (heating mode) within 5 minutes after returning home” is estimated. You can also The “power ON state (first mode)” means that the power is ON in the first mode (hereinafter the same).

  As another example, the life pattern estimation unit 13 may specify the user's return time using the user's position information, which is user status information, and the position information of the user's home 70 that is held in advance. it can. Then, the life pattern estimation unit 13 uses the identified return time and the electric device operation information to return the return time and the operation state change timing of each electric device 50 (eg, from the power OFF state to the power ON state). Change) can be estimated as a life pattern.

  As a specific example, “when the user returns home from 20:00 to 21:00, the operating state of the hot water supply system changes from the power OFF state to the power ON state (hot water supply mode for the bath) within 5 minutes after returning home”, A lifestyle pattern of “If the user returns home from 18:00 to 19:00, there is no regularity at the timing when the operating state of the hot water supply system changes from the power OFF state to the power ON state (hot water supply mode for the bath)” is considered. It is done.

  As another specific example, “when the user returns home from 18:00 to 19:00, the operating state of the air conditioner changes from the power OFF state to the power ON state (heating mode) within 5 minutes after returning home, and the temperature is X "When the user returns home from 21:00 to 22:00", the air conditioner operation state changes from the power OFF state to the power ON state (heating mode) within 5 minutes after returning home, and the temperature is Y A life pattern of “set to ℃” can be considered.

  As another example, the life pattern estimation unit 13 can acquire the alarm setting time set in the mobile terminal device 40 as the user status information, and specify the user's wake-up time using the information. Then, the life pattern estimation unit 13 uses the identified wake-up time and the electrical device operation information to change the operating state of each electrical device 50 starting from the user's wake-up timing (eg, from the power-off state to the power source). (Cause of change to ON state), wake-up time, and the causal relationship between the operation state change timing of each electric device 50 (eg, change from the power OFF state to the power ON state) can be estimated as a life pattern. .

  As a specific example, “the operation state of the air conditioner changes from the power OFF state to the power ON state within 5 minutes after getting up”, “if the temperature is 5 ° C. or less, the air conditioner operating state is changed within 5 minutes from getting up. A life pattern of “changing from a power OFF state to a power ON state (heating mode)” can be considered.

  As another specific example, “when the wake-up time is between 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock, the operating state of the hot water supply system changes from the power OFF state to the power ON state (hot water supply possible mode) within 5 minutes after waking up”, A life pattern of “when the wake-up time is after 8 o'clock, the operating state of the hot water supply system changes from the power OFF state to the power ON state (hot water supply mode for the bath) within 5 minutes after getting up” is conceivable.

  In addition, when the some portable terminal device 40 is registered, the lifestyle pattern estimation part 13 estimates a lifestyle pattern (use pattern of the electric equipment 50) for every owner of each registered portable terminal device 40. Can do.

  For example, the life pattern estimation unit 13 uses the position information acquired from the plurality of mobile terminal devices 40 registered as the user status information, the alarm setting time, and the like to each of the electric devices 50 starting from the timing of returning to each user. Operation state change timing (example: change from power OFF state to power ON state), return time of each user and operation state change timing of each electric device 50 (example: change from power OFF state to power ON state) , The operating state change timing of each electric device 50 starting from the wake-up timing of each user (e.g., the change from the power-off state to the power-on state), the wake-up time of each user and the electric device 50 each The life pattern of each user is the cause-and-effect relationship with the operating state change timing (eg, change from power-off state to power-on state) It can be estimated. For example, the life pattern estimation unit 13 can estimate a user's life pattern starting from a predetermined timing specified based on each of the user situation information acquired from each of the plurality of mobile terminal devices 40.

  As a specific example, “the operating state of the hot water supply system changes from the power-off state to the power-on state (hot water supply mode for the bath) within 5 minutes after the user (father) returns home”, “the temperature is 10 ° C. If no one is at home when the user (mother) returns home, the air conditioner changes from the power OFF state to the power ON state (heating mode) within 5 minutes after the user (mother) returns home. “If the temperature is below 10 ° C., the air conditioner operation state changes from the power-off state to the power-on state (heating mode) within 5 minutes after the person who got up the first time gets up.” Life patterns can be considered.

  As another example, for example, the life pattern estimation unit 13 may include the position information acquired from the plurality of mobile terminal devices 40 registered as the user situation information, and in which room each home electrical device 50 is held in the home 70. When each electric device 50 (for example, a television) is in a power-on state using the information indicating whether it is installed and the electric device operation information, the room in which the electric device 50 (for example, the television) is installed The located mobile terminal device 40 can be specified. And the life pattern estimation part 13 can specify the owner of the specified portable terminal device 40 as a user who was using the electric equipment 50. In this way, the life pattern estimation unit 13 detects the mobile terminal device 40 that is in a predetermined positional relationship (eg, within the predetermined distance from the same room, the electric device 50, etc.) with the electric device 50 that is in operation (powered on). It can be estimated that the owned user uses the electric device 50.

  When the life pattern estimation unit 13 specifies the mobile terminal device 40 located in the room in which the television is installed when the television is in the power-on state, the life pattern estimation unit 13 passes the microphone of the mobile terminal device 40 from the mobile terminal device 40. The volume information of the input sound may be acquired as user status information. And the lifestyle pattern estimation part 13 may estimate the tendency of a sound volume when the user who is the owner of the said portable terminal device 40 views television as a lifestyle pattern.
