1. An area-specific environment management system that manages an environment in an individual one of a plurality of areas, the system comprising:
a processor;
a memory coupled to the processor and storing a program executable by the processor;
a biological information sensor that acquires biological information about at least one of an individual and a group who belongs to an individual one of the areas; and
an environmental information sensor that acquires environmental information about an individual one of the areas,
wherein the processor, based on the program stored in the memory, is configured to execute:
an arousal level estimation process that estimates an arousal level with respect to the biological information obtained from the biological information sensor by using an arousal level estimation model; and
an environment provision process that provides an environment to an individual one of the areas based on the arousal level and the environmental information obtained from the environmental information sensor,
wherein providing the environment includes managing the environment by determining that productivity of the at least one of the individual and the group becomes a desired state in all cases including: a case where the estimated arousal level belongs to a state from sleepy until awakened; a case where the estimated arousal level belongs to a wakeful state; and a case where the estimated arousal level belongs to an excessively wakeful state, an arousal level of the excessively wakeful state being higher than an arousal level of the wakeful state, and
wherein managing the environment so that the productivity of the at least one of the individual and the group becomes the desired state includes:
managing the environment so that an arousal state of the at least one of the individual and the group is changed to the wakeful state in the case where the estimated arousal level belongs to a state from sleepy until awakened;
managing the environment so that the arousal state of the at least one of the individual and the group continues to the wakeful state in the case where the estimated arousal level belongs to the wakeful state; and
managing the environment so that the arousal state of the at least one of the individual and the group is changed to the wakeful state from the excessively wakeful state in the case where the estimated arousal level belongs to the excessively wakeful state, an arousal level of the excessively wakeful state,
wherein managing the environment so that the arousal state of the at least one of the individual and the group is changed to the wakeful state in the case where the estimated arousal level belongs to the state from sleepy until awakened includes:
determining whether the environmental information is suitable for the state from sleepy until awakened; and
when it is determined that the environmental information is not suitable, determining a suitable environment for the state from sleepy until awakened, and
wherein the arousal level estimation model is generated based on a result of an intellectual performance test taken by the at least one of the individual and the group and a feature of the biological information of the at least one biological information acquired from the biological information sensor while the at least one of the individual and the group takes the intellectual performance test.
