Abstract
A droplet infection suppression system includes an airflow generator capable of generating an airflow for separating a space into first regions, a first detector that detects human presence in each of the first regions, a second detector that detects coughing or sneezing in the space, and a controller which, when the second detector detects coughing or sneezing, controls the airflow generator to generate an airflow such that a second region including one or more first regions including a first region where human presence has been detected by the first detector is separated by the airflow from other regions.
Claims11
A droplet infection suppression system comprising:
- an airflow generator that generates an airflow for separating a space into first regions;
- a first detector that detects human presence in each of the first regions;
- a second detector that detects coughing or sneezing in the space;
- and
- a controller which, when the second detector detects coughing or sneezing, controls the airflow generator to generate an airflow such that a second region including one or more first regions including a first region where human presence is detected by the first detector is separated by the airflow from other regions.
A droplet infection suppression method, comprising:
- detecting human presence for each of first regions;
- detecting coughing or sneezing;
- and
- controlling, in a case where coughing or sneezing is detected, an airflow generator to generate an airflow such that a second region including one or more first regions including a first region where human presence is detected is separated by the airflow from other regions.
A droplet infection suppression system comprising:
- an airflow generator;
- first detectors, each of the first detectors detecting whether a person is present in each of regions;
- a second detector that detects whether coughing or sneezing occurs in the regions;
- and
- a controller, wherein
- the first detectors perform a first detection,
- after the first detection is performed, the second detector performs a second detection,
- after the second detection is performed, the controller controls the airflow generator to generate an airflow such that a first region and a second region are separated by the airflow,
- the first detection detects that a first person is present in a third region included in the regions, a second person is present in a fourth region included in the regions, and no person is present in the regions excluding the first region and the second region,
- the second detection detects an occurrence of the coughing or snoozing in the regions,
- the first region includes the third region, and the second region includes the fourth region,
- the regions are the first region and the second region, and
- the first region and the second region do not have a shared region.
