　次に、環境調整装置１００の構成例及び設置例について図２を参照して説明する。図２において、環境調整装置１００が店舗１０内に設置される例を示している。店舗１０内（特定空間）には、物品を陳列するための複数の陳列棚１０１ＰＡ１～１０１ＰＡ３、１０２ＰＢ１～１０２ＰＢ３が配置され、各陳列棚１０１ＰＡ１～１０１ＰＡ３、１０２ＰＢ１～１０２ＰＢ３には物品Ａ１～Ａ３、Ｂ１～Ｂ３が配置されている。 Next, a configuration example and an installation example of the environment adjustment apparatus 100 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 shows an example in which the environment adjustment device 100 is installed in the store 10. In the store 10 (specific space), a plurality of display shelves 101PA1 to 101PA3, 102PB1 to 102PB3 for displaying articles are arranged, and each display shelf 101PA1 to 101PA3, 102PB1 to 102PB3 has articles A1 to A3, B1 to B3 is arranged.
　図２において、環境調整装置１００は、環境情報センサ１１１Ｓ１、１１２Ｓ２と、物品識別マーカー１３１ＭＡ１～１３１ＭＢ１、１３２ＭＢ１～１３２ＭＢ２と、環境調整部１２０と、計数部１４０と、記憶部１５０と、環境補正部１６０と、物品識別情報受信部１７０と、物品情報提供部１８０と、を備える。なお、この環境調整装置１００の構成は一例であり、本発明はこの構成に限定されるものではない。また、環境調整部１２０、計数部１４０、記憶部１５０、環境補正部１６０、物品識別情報受信部１７０及び物品情報提供部１８０は、同一の筐体内に収納されており、制御部１０１を構成する。あるいは、複数の筐体に環境調整部１２０、計数部１４０、記憶部１５０、環境補正部１６０、物品識別情報受信部１７０及び物品情報提供部１８０が分散して収納されていてもよい。さらに、店舗１０内には無線基地局２００が設置されている。 In FIG. 2, the environmental adjustment device 100 includes environmental information sensors 111S1 and 112S2, article identification markers 131MA1 to 131MB1, 132MB1 to 132MB2, an environmental adjustment unit 120, a counting unit 140, a storage unit 150, and an environmental correction unit 160. And an article identification information receiving section 170 and an article information providing section 180. The configuration of the environmental adjustment device 100 is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The environment adjustment unit 120, the counting unit 140, the storage unit 150, the environment correction unit 160, the article identification information receiving unit 170, and the article information providing unit 180 are housed in the same casing and constitute the control unit 101. . Alternatively, the environment adjustment unit 120, the counting unit 140, the storage unit 150, the environment correction unit 160, the article identification information receiving unit 170, and the article information providing unit 180 may be distributed and stored in a plurality of cases. Furthermore, a radio base station 200 is installed in the store 10.
　環境情報センサ１１１Ｓ１、１１２Ｓ２は、店舗１０内の温度・湿度・照度等の環境情報を検出するものであるが、陳列棚１０１ＰＡ１～１０１ＰＡ３、１０２ＰＢ１～１０２ＰＢ３近傍における利用者の存在状況による環境への影響を特に検出するため、陳列棚１０１ＰＡ１～１０１ＰＡ３及び１０２ＰＢ１～１０２ＰＢ３の各近傍に配置されている。
環境情報センサ１１１Ｓ１、１１２Ｓ２は、無線基地局２００との間で無線通信を行う無線通信機能を有しており、無線基地局２００と共にセンサネットワークを構成する。環境情報センサ１１１Ｓ１、１１２Ｓ２は、無線基地局２００を介して検出した環境検出情報を制御部１０１に送信する無線通信機能を有する。 The environmental information sensors 111S1 and 112S2 detect environmental information such as temperature, humidity, and illuminance in the store 10, but the environmental impact is affected by the presence of users in the vicinity of the display shelves 101PA1 to 101PA3 and 102PB1 to 102PB3. In particular, the display shelves 101PA1 to 101PA3 and 102PB1 to 102PB3 are arranged in the vicinity.
The environmental information sensors 111 </ b> S <b> 1 and 112 </ b> S <b> 2 have a wireless communication function for performing wireless communication with the wireless base station 200, and constitute a sensor network together with the wireless base station 200. The environment information sensors 111S1 and 112S2 have a wireless communication function for transmitting environment detection information detected via the wireless base station 200 to the control unit 101.
　識別マーカー１３１ＭＡ１～１３１ＭＢ１、１３２ＭＢ１～１３２ＭＢ２は、各物品Ａ１～Ａ３、Ｂ１～Ｂ３の近傍に配置されている。例えば、識別マーカーは、物品と並置されたり、上下の位置に配置され、どの識別マーカーがどの物品に対応しているかが理解できるように配置される。識別マーカー１３１ＭＡ１～１３１ＭＢ１、１３２ＭＢ１～１３２ＭＢ２は、各物品Ａ１～Ａ３、Ｂ１～Ｂ３に対応する物品識別情報を提供するためのマーカーであり、例えば、その表面に各物品Ａ１～Ａ３、Ｂ１～Ｂ３およびその陳列位置に対応するイメージやコード等が印刷されている。例えば、各物品およびその陳列位置を識別する２次元バーコード（２次元コード）が印刷されていてもよい。あるいは、２次元バーコード（２次元コード）の代わりに、各物品及びその陳列位置を識別する円形、三角形、四角形などの幾何学的な図形が印刷されていてもよい。識別マーカー１３１ＭＡ１～１３１ＭＢ１、１３２ＭＢ１～１３２ＭＢ２は、識別情報提供部として機能する。 The identification markers 131MA1 to 131MB1, 132MB1 to 132MB2 are disposed in the vicinity of the articles A1 to A3 and B1 to B3. For example, the identification marker is juxtaposed with the article or arranged at an upper and lower position so that it can be understood which identification marker corresponds to which article. The identification markers 131MA1 to 131MB1, 132MB1 to 132MB2 are markers for providing article identification information corresponding to the articles A1 to A3 and B1 to B3. For example, the articles A1 to A3, B1 to B3, and An image, a code, or the like corresponding to the display position is printed. For example, a two-dimensional barcode (two-dimensional code) that identifies each article and its display position may be printed. Alternatively, instead of a two-dimensional barcode (two-dimensional code), a geometric figure such as a circle, a triangle, or a rectangle that identifies each article and its display position may be printed. The identification markers 131MA1 to 131MB1 and 132MB1 to 132MB2 function as identification information providing units.
　なお、識別マーカーは、利用者が携帯する携帯電話等のカメラにより撮影がされて検出されることを主な目的としている。このため、識別マーカーは利用者に直接認識できる必要はない。このため、識別マーカーは、例えば利用者に認識できず携帯電話等のカメラにより検出が可能な赤外線を用いて構成されていてもよい。例えば、赤外線を物品およびその陳列位置を識別する識別信号により変調を行なって識別マーカーより放射してもよい。 Note that the identification marker is mainly intended to be detected by being photographed by a camera such as a mobile phone carried by the user. For this reason, the identification marker does not need to be directly recognizable by the user. For this reason, the identification marker may be configured using infrared rays that cannot be recognized by the user and can be detected by a camera such as a mobile phone. For example, infrared light may be emitted from an identification marker after being modulated by an identification signal that identifies the article and its display position.
　識別マーカー１３１ＭＡ１～１３１ＭＢ１、１３２ＭＢ１～１３２ＭＢ２は、図中に示す利用者ＣＡ、ＣＢが携帯する携帯電話等の携帯通信端末２０１、２０２のカメラにより撮影がされる。識別マーカーの撮影がされ携帯通信端末により検出がされると、携帯通信端末のディスプレイなどの表示部に、識別マーカーの部分にリンクなどの表示がされ選択することが可能な状態で表示されてもよい。例えば、表示部がタッチパネルである場合には、識別マーカーの部分のリンクなどの表示を利用者の指などによりクリックすることができる。 The identification markers 131MA1 to 131MB1 and 132MB1 to 132MB2 are photographed by the cameras of the mobile communication terminals 201 and 202 such as mobile phones carried by the users CA and CB shown in the figure. When the identification marker is photographed and detected by the mobile communication terminal, a link or the like is displayed on the display portion of the mobile communication terminal in a state where the identification marker can be selected and displayed. Good. For example, when the display unit is a touch panel, a display such as a link of the identification marker portion can be clicked with a user's finger or the like.
　携帯通信端末の表示部において識別マーカの選択可能に表示された部分が選択されると、この選択された旨が識別マーカに対応する物品へのアクセス情報として、携帯通信端末２０１、２０２から無線基地局２００を介して制御部１０１に送信される。この場合、携帯通信端末２０１、２０２には識別マーカー１３１ＭＡ１～１３１ＭＢ１、１３２ＭＢ１～１３２ＭＢ２を検出しアクセス情報を送信するためのプログラムが予めインストールされているものとする。携帯通信端末２０１、２０２により識別マーカー１３１ＭＡ１～１３１ＭＢ１、１３２ＭＢ１～１３２ＭＢ２にアクセスする方法は、例えば、携帯通信端末２０１、２０２に搭載されたカメラ機能により識別マーカー１３１ＭＡ１～１３１ＭＢ１、１３２ＭＢ１～１３２ＭＢ２が撮影された物品識別情報が無線基地局２００を介してサーバ装置３００に無線送信されるようにしてもよい。さらに、このアクセスの際に、環境調整装置１００は、アクセスされた物品に関連する情報をサーバ装置３００から受信して無線基地局２００を介して利用者ＣＡ、ＣＢの携帯通信端末２０１、２０２に送信して、アクセスした物品Ａ１～Ａ３、Ｂ１～Ｂ３に関連する情報を提供するようにしてもよい。 When a portion of the display unit of the mobile communication terminal displayed so that the identification marker can be selected is selected, the fact that the selection marker has been selected is accessed from the mobile communication terminals 201 and 202 as access information to the article corresponding to the identification marker. The data is transmitted to the control unit 101 via the station 200. In this case, it is assumed that a program for detecting the identification markers 131MA1 to 131MB1 and 132MB1 to 132MB2 and transmitting access information is installed in the mobile communication terminals 201 and 202 in advance. The method for accessing the identification markers 131MA1 to 131MB1 and 132MB1 to 132MB2 by the mobile communication terminals 201 and 202 is, for example, that the identification markers 131MA1 to 131MB1 and 132MB1 to 132MB2 are photographed by the camera function installed in the mobile communication terminals 201 and 202. The article identification information may be wirelessly transmitted to the server apparatus 300 via the wireless base station 200. Further, at the time of this access, the environment adjustment device 100 receives information related to the accessed article from the server device 300 and sends it to the mobile communication terminals 201 and 202 of the users CA and CB via the wireless base station 200. Information related to the accessed articles A1 to A3 and B1 to B3 may be provided by transmission.
　なお、携帯通信端末がアクセス情報を送信する送信先であるサーバ装置３００のアドレスなどは、利用者が特定空間に入りアクセス情報を送信するまでに携帯通信端末に設定されるのが好ましい。例えば、特定空間内の入り口に、サーバ装置３００のアドレスなどを示す２次元バーコードなどを掲示しておき、利用者はその２次元バーコードを携帯通信端末のカメラにより撮影し、２次元バーコードを復号してサーバ装置３００のアドレスなどを設定する。あるいは、携帯通信端末が特定空間内の無線ＬＡＮのアクセスポイントに接続し、無線ＬＡＮのアクセスポイントからサーバ装置３００のアドレスなどを取得するようになっていてもよい。また、識別マーカーが変調された赤外線を放射する場合には、赤外線を変調する変調信号にサーバ装置３００のアドレスなどを含ませて、携帯通信端末がサーバ装置３００のアドレスなどを取得できるようにすることもできる。 In addition, it is preferable that the address of the server apparatus 300 that is a transmission destination to which the mobile communication terminal transmits access information is set in the mobile communication terminal before the user enters the specific space and transmits the access information. For example, a two-dimensional bar code indicating the address of the server device 300 is posted at the entrance in the specific space, and the user takes a picture of the two-dimensional bar code with the camera of the mobile communication terminal, and the two-dimensional bar code And the address of the server device 300 is set. Alternatively, the mobile communication terminal may connect to a wireless LAN access point in a specific space and acquire the address of the server device 300 from the wireless LAN access point. When the identification marker emits modulated infrared light, the modulation signal for modulating the infrared light includes the address of the server device 300 and the like so that the mobile communication terminal can acquire the address of the server device 300 and the like.

　また、識別マーカーは、携帯通信端末のカメラなどを用いて光学的に検出されるものに限定されることはない。例えば、識別マーカーは、ＩＳＯ／ＩＥＣ　１４４４３、ＩＳＯ／ＩＥＣ　１８０９２またはＩＳＯ／ＩＥＣ　２１４８１の規格などに基づく近距離無線通信を携帯通信端末と行ってもよい。この場合、識別マーカーは、近距離無線通信により携帯通信端末へ、識別マーカーを特定するための識別情報や物品識別情報、サーバ装置３００のアドレスなどを送信する。携帯通信端末は、識別マーカーより識別マーカーを特定するための識別情報や物品識別情報、サーバ装置３００のアドレスなどを受信すると、サーバ装置３００へ識別マーカーを特定するための識別情報を送信し、サーバ装置３００へアクセス情報を送信する。あるいは、識別マーカーは、識別マーカーが対応する物品の情報を示すウェブページのアドレスを近距離無線通信により携帯通信端末へ送信し、サーバ装置３００へアクセス情報を送信してもよい。 Further, the identification marker is not limited to one that is optically detected using a camera of a mobile communication terminal or the like. For example, the identification marker may perform short-range wireless communication with the mobile communication terminal based on the ISO / IEC 14443, ISO / IEC 18092, or ISO / IEC 21481 standards. In this case, the identification marker transmits identification information for identifying the identification marker, article identification information, the address of the server device 300, and the like to the mobile communication terminal by short-range wireless communication. When the mobile communication terminal receives the identification information for identifying the identification marker, the item identification information, the address of the server device 300, etc. from the identification marker, the mobile communication terminal transmits the identification information for identifying the identification marker to the server device 300, and the server Access information is transmitted to the device 300. Alternatively, the identification marker may transmit the address of the web page indicating the information of the article corresponding to the identification marker to the mobile communication terminal by short-range wireless communication and transmit the access information to the server device 300.
　また、識別マーカーは、近距離無線通信により携帯通信端末へ、無線ＬＡＮのアクセスポイントに関する情報（例えば、ＳＳＩＤ、暗号化キー）を送信してもよい。この場合には、携帯無線端末は、サーバ装置３００へ識別マーカーを特定するための識別情報を送信するために、受信したＳＳＩＤなどを用いて無線ＬＡＮとのコネクションを確立する。 Further, the identification marker may transmit information (for example, SSID, encryption key) regarding the access point of the wireless LAN to the mobile communication terminal by short-range wireless communication. In this case, the portable wireless terminal establishes a connection with the wireless LAN using the received SSID or the like in order to transmit identification information for specifying the identification marker to the server device 300.
　通常、近距離無線通信により通信が行われる距離は１０センチメートル程度であるので、携帯通信端末のカメラなどを用いて光学的に識別マーカーを検出する場合に比べて、識別マーカーの周囲における利用者の存在位置及び滞在状況をより正確に取得することができる。 Usually, the distance that is communicated by short-range wireless communication is about 10 centimeters. Therefore, compared with the case where the identification marker is optically detected using a camera of a mobile communication terminal, the user around the identification marker It is possible to more accurately acquire the location and stay status of the.

　（システム動作）
　次に、環境システム１において行われる動作の一例について図６に示すチャートを参照して説明する。 (System operation)
Next, an example of the operation performed in the environment system 1 will be described with reference to the chart shown in FIG.
　利用者ＣＡ又はＣＢが携帯する携帯通信端末２０１又は２０２により物品Ａ３又はＢ３の近傍に配置された識別マーカー１３１ＭＡ３又は１３１ＭＢ３にアクセスされると（ステップＳ２０１）、携帯通信端末２０１又は２０２のカメラ機能等により識別マーカー１３１ＭＡ３又は１３１ＭＢ３のイメージが取得され、物品識別情報として無線通信基地局２００を介して環境調整装置１００に送信される（ステップＳ２０２）。 When the identification marker 131MA3 or 131MB3 arranged near the article A3 or B3 is accessed by the portable communication terminal 201 or 202 carried by the user CA or CB (step S201), the camera function of the portable communication terminal 201 or 202, etc. Thus, an image of the identification marker 131MA3 or 131MB3 is acquired and transmitted to the environment adjustment apparatus 100 via the wireless communication base station 200 as article identification information (step S202).
　環境調整装置１００では、物品識別情報受信部１７０により物品識別情報が受信される（ステップＳ１０１）。次いで、物品情報提供部１８０により受信された物品識別情報が無線基地局２００を介してサーバ装置３００に送信される（ステップＳ１０２）。 In the environment adjustment apparatus 100, the article identification information receiving unit 170 receives the article identification information (step S101). Next, the article identification information received by the article information providing unit 180 is transmitted to the server apparatus 300 via the radio base station 200 (step S102).
　サーバ装置３００では、識別情報受信部１７０により物品識別情報が受信されると（ステップＳ３０１）、返信部３３０によりインターネットＮ２を介して物品識別情報に関する物品関連サイト４００にアクセスされて（ステップＳ３０２）、物品関連サイト４００から物品Ａ３又はＢ３に関する情報が取得される（ステップＳ３０３）。続いて、返信部３３０により物品Ａ３又はＢ３に関する情報が物品情報としてＬＡＮ及び無線基地局２００を介して環境調整装置１００に送信される（ステップＳ３０４）。 In the server apparatus 300, when the article identification information is received by the identification information receiving unit 170 (step S301), the reply unit 330 accesses the article-related site 400 related to the article identification information via the Internet N2 (step S302). Information about the article A3 or B3 is acquired from the article-related site 400 (step S303). Subsequently, the reply unit 330 transmits information related to the article A3 or B3 as article information to the environment adjustment apparatus 100 via the LAN and the wireless base station 200 (step S304).
　次いで、環境調整装置１００の物品情報提供部１８０によりサーバ装置３００から物品情報が受信されると（ステップＳ１０３）、その物品情報が無線基地局２００を介してアクセスした携帯通信端末２０１又は２０２に送信される（ステップＳ１０４）。携帯通信端末２０１又は２０２では、受信した物品情報が表示される。この処理により、識別マーカー１３１ＭＡ３又は１３１ＭＢ３にアクセスした携帯通信端末２０１又は２０２の利用者ＣＡ又はＣＢは、興味がある物品Ａ３又はＢ３に関するより詳細な情報を容易に取得できる。また、店舗１０の運営者は物品の販売促進に寄与することを期待することができる。 Next, when the article information is received from the server apparatus 300 by the article information providing unit 180 of the environment adjustment apparatus 100 (step S103), the article information is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 201 or 202 accessed via the wireless base station 200. (Step S104). In the mobile communication terminal 201 or 202, the received article information is displayed. By this processing, the user CA or CB of the mobile communication terminal 201 or 202 that has accessed the identification marker 131MA3 or 131MB3 can easily acquire more detailed information regarding the article A3 or B3 that is of interest. Moreover, the operator of the store 10 can be expected to contribute to the sales promotion of goods.
　次いで、環境調整装置１００の計数部１４０では、受信した物品識別情報によりアクセスされた物品Ａ３又はＢ３のアクセス回数が計数される（ステップＳ１０５）。続いて、記憶部１５０により計数されたアクセス回数と共に物品Ａ３又はＢ３が配置された位置として陳列棚１０１ＰＡ３又は１０２ＰＢ３の位置情報及び物品識別情報１３１ＭＡ３又は１３２ＭＢ３が図４に示したテーブルＴ１に記憶される（ステップＳ１０５）。 Next, the counting unit 140 of the environmental adjustment device 100 counts the number of accesses of the article A3 or B3 accessed by the received article identification information (step S105). Subsequently, the position information of the display shelf 101PA3 or 102PB3 and the item identification information 131MA3 or 132MB3 are stored in the table T1 shown in FIG. 4 as the position where the item A3 or B3 is arranged together with the number of accesses counted by the storage unit 150. (Step S105).
　次いで、環境調整装置１００の環境補正部１７０では、環境情報センサ１１１Ｓ１、１１２Ｓ２の検出値を補正する検出値補正処理が行われる（ステップＳ１０６）。例えば、上記記憶部１５０に記憶されるアクセス回数に基づいて、各物品Ａ１～Ａ３、Ｂ１～Ｂ３が配置された陳列棚１０１ＰＡ１～１０１ＰＡ３及び１０２ＰＢ１～１０２ＰＢ３の各近傍における利用者の存在位置及び滞在状況が予測される。そして、その予測結果に応じて店舗１０内の物品Ａ１～Ａ３、Ｂ１～Ｂ３が配置された各領域Ａ、Ｂ（図２参照）において環境情報センサ１１１Ｓ１、１１２Ｓ２により検出される環境情報の検出値が補正されて環境調整部１２０による環境の調整の程度が変更される。 Next, the environment correction unit 170 of the environment adjustment apparatus 100 performs detection value correction processing for correcting the detection values of the environment information sensors 111S1 and 112S2 (step S106). For example, based on the number of accesses stored in the storage unit 150, the user's location and stay status in the vicinity of the display shelves 101PA1 to 101PA3 and 102PB1 to 102PB3 on which the articles A1 to A3 and B1 to B3 are arranged Is predicted. The detected values of the environmental information detected by the environmental information sensors 111S1 and 112S2 in the areas A and B (see FIG. 2) where the articles A1 to A3 and B1 to B3 in the store 10 are arranged according to the prediction result. Is corrected, and the degree of adjustment of the environment by the environment adjustment unit 120 is changed.
　ここで、検出値補正処理の具体例を説明する。簡単に説明するため、識別情報提供部である識別マーカー１３１ＭＡ３と環境情報検知部である環境情報センサ１１１Ｓ１がそれぞれひとつの場合で、調整対象の環境は温度ひとつの場合を示す。識別マーカー１３１ＭＡ３と環境情報センサ１１１Ｓ１の各配置位置が等しい場合には、環境調整部１２０では検出値補正処理を行うことなく、アクセス回数とは無関係に環境検出値の補正処理は行わない。すなわち、識別マーカー１３１ＭＡ３と環境情報センサ１１１Ｓ１の各配置位置が異なり、両者間の距離をｘとして、環境情報センサ１１１Ｓ１で得られた環境情報である温度をＴ、アクセス回数をｎとすると、環境補正部１７０で得られる補正値ΔＴは、以下の数式（１）により求められる。
　　ΔＴ＝ｆ（ｎ，ｘ，Ｔ）・・・・・（１）
となる。関数ｆは、例えば、以下の数式（２）で表すものとする。
　　ｆ（ｎ，ｘ，Ｔ）＝α×ｎ×Ｔ×ｘ×β・・・・・（２）
とし、αは予め求めた係数であり、アクセス回数を補正するものであり、βは識別マーカー１３１ＭＡ３と環境情報センサ１１１Ｓ１の距離により環境情報を補正するものである。 Here, a specific example of the detection value correction process will be described. For simple explanation, the identification marker 131MA3 as the identification information providing unit and the environmental information sensor 111S1 as the environmental information detection unit are each one, and the environment to be adjusted is one temperature. When the arrangement positions of the identification marker 131MA3 and the environment information sensor 111S1 are equal, the environment adjustment unit 120 does not perform the detection value correction process and does not perform the correction process of the environment detection value regardless of the number of accesses. That is, when the arrangement positions of the identification marker 131MA3 and the environment information sensor 111S1 are different, the distance between the two is x, the temperature that is the environment information obtained by the environment information sensor 111S1 is T, and the number of accesses is n, the environment correction The correction value ΔT obtained by the unit 170 is obtained by the following mathematical formula (1).
ΔT = f (n, x, T) (1)
It becomes. The function f is represented by the following mathematical formula (2), for example.
f (n, x, T) = α × n × T × x × β (2)
Where α is a coefficient obtained in advance and corrects the number of accesses, and β corrects environmental information based on the distance between the identification marker 131MA3 and the environmental information sensor 111S1.
　また、識別マーカー１３１ＭＡ３の周辺に複数の環境情報センサ１１１Ｓ１、１１１Ｓ２がある場合を説明する。この場合は、識別マーカー１３１ＭＡ３と環境情報センサ１１１Ｓ１の距離ｘとβの代わりに識別マーカー１３１ＭＡ３の周辺の環境情報センサ１１１Ｓ１、１１１Ｓ２から空間補間値を求め、環境情報ＴをＴ′に置き換え、以下の数式（３）により補正値ΔＴを求める。
　　ΔＴ＝ｆ（ｎ，Ｔ′）・・・・・（３）
となる。関数ｆは、例えば、以下の数式（４）で表すものとする。
　　ｆ（ｎ，Ｔ）＝α×ｎ×Ｔ′・・・・・（４）
とすることができる。空間補間の方法は多項式近似などを用いることができる。 A case where there are a plurality of environmental information sensors 111S1 and 111S2 around the identification marker 131MA3 will be described. In this case, instead of the distances x and β between the identification marker 131MA3 and the environmental information sensor 111S1, spatial interpolation values are obtained from the environmental information sensors 111S1 and 111S2 around the identification marker 131MA3, and the environmental information T is replaced with T ′. The correction value ΔT is obtained by the equation (3).
ΔT = f (n, T ′) (3)
It becomes. The function f is represented by the following mathematical formula (4), for example.
f (n, T) = α × n × T ′ (4)
It can be. As a method of spatial interpolation, polynomial approximation or the like can be used.
　次いで、環境調整部１２０では、求められた補正値ΔＴにより環境情報センサ１１１Ｓ１により検出される環境情報の検出値が補正される（ステップＳ１０７）。この処理により、図２に示す領域Ａにおける温度・湿度・照度・照明の色温度のうち一以上の環境が利用者の存在位置及び滞在状況に応じて最適に調整される。具体的には、例えば、アクセス回数が多い場合は、利用者が多く存在していることを示すため、熱負荷が大きいことは明らかであるため、環境情報センサの検出値を低く補正することで最適な環境を保つことが可能になる。また、利用者が多く集まることを希望する領域は、照明を明るくすることで、集客を期待することができる。実際のアクセス回数が期待値を下回った場合、照度を画することで利用者の注目を集めることもできる。温度・湿度に対しても同様の環境調整方法を適用することができ、環境情報センサの補正する方法も上述の方法を適用できる。 Next, the environmental adjustment unit 120 corrects the detected value of the environmental information detected by the environmental information sensor 111S1 with the calculated correction value ΔT (step S107). By this processing, one or more environments among the temperature, humidity, illuminance, and color temperature of the illumination in the region A shown in FIG. 2 are optimally adjusted according to the user's location and staying situation. Specifically, for example, when the number of accesses is large, it indicates that there are many users, so it is clear that the thermal load is large, so by correcting the detection value of the environmental information sensor low An optimal environment can be maintained. Also, in areas where many users want to gather, it is possible to expect to attract customers by making the lighting brighter. When the actual number of times of access falls below the expected value, the user's attention can be gathered by drawing the illuminance. The same environmental adjustment method can be applied to temperature and humidity, and the above-described method can be applied to the correction method of the environmental information sensor.
　その結果、従来のように人の滞在位置により空調設備のみを調整する場合に比べて、照明も含めて調整することが可能になる。このため、物品に対する照明効果も考慮して調整することが可能になり、利用者の存在位置及び滞在状況に応じて物品に対する演出効果も変更することが可能になり、物品の販売促進にも寄与する環境調整装置１００及び環境システム１を提供することができる。 As a result, it is possible to make adjustments including lighting as compared with the conventional case where only the air-conditioning equipment is adjusted according to the person's stay position. For this reason, it is possible to make adjustments in consideration of the lighting effect on the article, and it is also possible to change the presentation effect on the article according to the location of the user and the staying situation, contributing to the promotion of the sale of the article. It is possible to provide the environmental adjustment device 100 and the environmental system 1.

Next, in the count storage unit 350, the item identification information received by the identification information receiving unit 320 is counted as the number of accesses to the item identification information and stored in a table T2 as shown in FIG. 5 (step S312).
　また、識別情報受信部３２０により受信された物品識別情報は、返信部３３０により対応する物品に関するインターネットＮ２上の情報を提供する物品関連サイト４００にアクセスされて（ステップＳ３１３）、物品関連サイト４００から物品に関する情報が受信される（ステップＳ３１４）。その情報は、返信部３３０により物品情報としてＬＡＮ及び無線基地局２００を介して各物品Ａ１～Ａ３、Ｂ１～Ｂ３にアクセスした携帯通信端末２０１、２０２に返信される（ステップＳ３１５）。 Further, the article identification information received by the identification information receiving unit 320 is accessed by the reply unit 330 to the article-related site 400 that provides information on the Internet N2 related to the corresponding article (step S313). Information about the article is received (step S314). The information is returned by the reply unit 330 to the portable communication terminals 201 and 202 that have accessed the articles A1 to A3 and B1 to B3 via the LAN and the wireless base station 200 as article information (step S315).
　携帯通信端末２０１又は２０２では、受信した物品情報が表示される（ステップＳ２１３）。この処理により、識別マーカー１３１ＭＡ３又は１３１ＭＢ３にアクセスした携帯通信端末２０１又は２０２の利用者ＣＡ又はＣＢは、興味がある物品Ａ３又はＢ３に関するより詳細な情報を容易に取得できる。また、店舗１０の運営者は物品の販売促進に寄与することを期待することができる。 In the mobile communication terminal 201 or 202, the received article information is displayed (step S213). By this processing, the user CA or CB of the mobile communication terminal 201 or 202 that has accessed the identification marker 131MA3 or 131MB3 can easily acquire more detailed information regarding the article A3 or B3 that is of interest. Moreover, the operator of the store 10 can be expected to contribute to the sales promotion of goods.
　次いで、サーバ装置３００のアクセス回数送信部３４０では、計数記憶部３５０により記憶されたアクセス回数が読み出されてＬＡＮ及び無線基地局２００を介して環境調整装置１００に送信される（ステップＳ３１６）。 Next, in the access count transmission unit 340 of the server device 300, the access count stored in the count storage unit 350 is read and transmitted to the environment adjustment apparatus 100 via the LAN and the radio base station 200 (step S316).
