<Basic air conditioning settings>
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a setting operation for adjusting the wind direction and the wind speed. This will be described with reference to FIG. 7A and 7B are diagrams showing an operation from the front view of the element 117 of the indoor unit 2, and FIGS. 7C and 7D are schematic side views of the element 117 of the indoor unit 2. FIG. It is a figure which shows operation from.

  The operation shown in FIG. 7A is a case where the left wind balloon 118 shown in FIG. 1 is touched with a finger and slid in the upper right direction. As a comparative example, with a button-type remote control, if you want to change the wind direction from left to right, operate “Left → Left middle → Middle → Right middle → Right”. → Middle → Slightly Middle → Up ”and the wind direction button needs to be pressed multiple times. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, it is possible to set the change of the wind direction and the wind speed only by sliding the wind balloon 118 with a finger.

  The operation recognizing unit 151 detects the coordinate position of the touch portion of the touch panel unit 11 (hereinafter referred to as touch coordinate position), and the basic air conditioning setting unit 154 includes the preset reference position of the element 117 and the touch coordinate position. Therefore, the wind direction is specified, and the wind direction information in the basic air conditioning setting information 162 of the storage unit 16 is changed from left to right, for example. Then, the basic air conditioning setting unit 154 transmits the changed information (change information) to the indoor unit 2 through the communication control unit 153 and the infrared communication unit 12 together with the identification information of the air conditioning control terminal 10. When the received indoor unit 2 recognizes the identification information of the air conditioning control terminal 10, it overwrites the change information in the memory of the indoor unit 2 and controls the wind direction to the right. In the following operation, the command to the indoor unit 2 can be controlled in the same manner as in FIG.

  The operation shown in FIG. 7B is a case where the wind balloon 118 is touched with two fingers to pinch out in order to set the wind direction. The direction of the double wind direction can be set at a time by expanding the distance between the fingers.

  The operations shown in FIGS. 7C and 7D are operations from a schematic side view of the element 117 of the indoor unit 2. First, in FIG. 7C, the element 117 is first touched with a finger and the right It is the figure by which the element 117 was rotated and displayed when it slid to the direction. As a result, the current blowing state of the wind balloon 118 can be viewed from substantially the side. As shown in FIG. 7D, the user can adjust the wind direction up and down by touching and sliding the wind balloon 118.

  When changing the wind speed, the wind image changes following the operation of the finger. For example, in FIG. 7A, the wind speed can be adjusted by the acceleration of flicking downward by touching the wind balloon 118. When the wind speed is changed from “static” to “rapid”, as a comparative example, the button-type remote controller needs to press the “velocity → fine → weak → strong → rapid” wind speed button a plurality of times. On the other hand, in this embodiment, if the wind balloon 118 is touched and flicked rapidly downward, it can be changed to “rapid” at once. Note that the wind speed may be adjusted by detecting the moving distance when flicking.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a setting operation for mist operation. As illustrated in FIG. 8A, when the bookmark unit 115 on the right side of the touch panel unit 11 is touched with a finger, a menu of the bookmark unit 115 is displayed. The menu displays additional functions of operation, mist operation that blows out mist, sterilization operation that physically eliminates microorganisms, eco operation that saves power, air cleaning operation that cleans air, and cleaning operation that cleans the filter and so on. Here, the operation method will be described by taking mist operation as an example.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, when a mist menu of an additional function to be operated is touched with a finger and a drag operation is performed to the wind blowing 118 or the element 117 of the indoor unit 2, as shown in FIG. The mist operation is started, and a plurality of dots expressing the mist are blown out and displayed as an animation on the wind balloon 118 as the driving situation.

  In addition, when the additional function of filter cleaning is selected, it is good to animate and display the state which is cleaning with the brush on the front view of the element 117 of the indoor unit 2.

  According to the present embodiment, the air conditioning control terminal 10 can instantly recognize the basic air conditioning control states such as the operation mode, the wind direction, and the wind speed in a batch, thereby reducing the time required for recognition of the control state. it can. Moreover, the internal state of the indoor unit 2 such as internal cleaning and filter cleaning can be recognized, and a sense of security can be provided for the user.

  Further, the wind direction and the wind speed can be simultaneously input by a single continuous operation with a finger, and the time required for the operation for adjustment can be shortened. That is, the setting operation for inputting the button a plurality of times can be completed with a single input to the button-type remote control as a comparative example, and thus the operation time can be shortened. Furthermore, various settings such as the wind direction and wind speed of the air conditioner 1 can be performed simply and intuitively.

In the above example, the wind direction and the like can be controlled by touching the screen. However, control using a voice recognition function provided in a mobile terminal such as a smartphone is also possible.
When controlling by voice recognition, an operation screen related to voice recognition control and the result of voice recognition are displayed on the screen. Thereby, it is possible to confirm whether the automatic recognition result matches the consumer's intention.
Depending on the result of the voice recognition, how to control is automatically displayed on the screen.
Since the result of the voice recognition is displayed as an image in this way, if these displays do not match the user's intention, it can be corrected by the touch operation described in the above-described embodiment. For example, if it is not recognized that the wind direction is right as a result of voice recognition, an image showing the current wind direction is displayed, so that the image showing the wind direction is touched and the fingertip is slid in the desired direction for correction. I can do it.
As a result, finer air-conditioning settings can be made with simpler and easier operation.
<Installation environment settings>
Until now, air conditioning control for the purpose of comfort and energy saving has been grasping the air conditioning environment and consumers' behavior with each sensor such as infrared sensor and radiation, voice recognition, etc., but recognition is limited . Furthermore, it is desired to improve comfort and energy saving.
Therefore, an example will be described in which a more detailed setting can be performed with simple and intuitive operation in addition to the basic air conditioning setting.

The general size of the room used by the air conditioner can be set. After the setting, when the user touches the “OK” soft button, the process proceeds to FIG. 11.

FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an input operation of the position of the air conditioner and the arrangement of the fixtures in the installation environment information. FIG. 11A shows an environment setting screen after the size selection is completed. In the “width” column, the selected “about 16 tatami mats (about 26 m ² )” is displayed. When the user touches “air conditioner position or fixture” with a finger, the “air conditioner position or fixture” screen shown in FIG. 11B is displayed. In FIG. 11B, the position of the air conditioner and the fixture can be dragged and arranged. FIG. 11C shows a screen after any furniture is placed at any position. When the arrangement is completed, when the user touches the “OK” soft button, the process proceeds to FIG.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an installation completion information input screen for the air conditioning control terminal. In the L-shaped room shown in FIG. 12, an air conditioner 121 (indoor unit 2), a television 122, a living table 123, a living sofa 124, a dining table 125, a side board 126, and a system kitchen 127 are arranged. Yes. If it is necessary to change the input items, for example, if it is desired to change the arrangement, it is better to touch the column of “position and fixture of air conditioner” again. When the user confirms the input items and touches the “OK” soft button if the arrangement is satisfactory, the series of installation environment input is completed. This completes the floor plan, which is the environment setting for installing the air conditioner.

  The completed floor plan is stored as user floor plan information in the installation environment setting information 163 shown in FIG. In addition, the installation environment creation information in the installation environment setting information 163 shown in FIG. 3 corresponds to FIG. 9A, the layout information corresponds to FIG. 9B, and the area information corresponds to FIG. 10B. The element information corresponds to FIG.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a setting operation of spot temperature adjustment in the floor plan air conditioning mode. This will be described with reference to FIG. When the other functions of the tool bar 114 of FIG. 1 are selected and the floor plan air conditioning mode is selected, the floor plan completed in FIG. 12 is called as shown in FIG. Is displayed. In FIG. 13A, when the user taps an arbitrary position, the spot air-conditioning area can be set from the position and the number of taps.

  FIG.13 (b) is a case where the place of the system kitchen 127 is tapped with the finger | toe, and can set to -1 degreeC with respect to the whole air-conditioning preset temperature. Similarly, FIG. 13C shows a case of double touch, and can be set to −2 ° C. with respect to the entire air conditioning set temperature. Furthermore, FIG.13 (d) is a case of the 3 times touching triple touch, and can set it to -3 degreeC with respect to the whole air-conditioning preset temperature.

  When the spot is set, the installation environment setting unit 155 (see FIG. 3) automatically performs bidirectional wind direction control. As shown in FIG. 13D, it can be seen that the wind is controlled from the position of the air conditioner 121 toward the main wind direction toward the system kitchen 127 and the sub wind direction toward the dining table 125. .

In the example shown in FIGS. 13B to 13D, when changing the set temperature, “−1 → −2 → −3 → + 3 → + 2” is selected in accordance with the number of times the “spot” in the spot air-conditioning area is touched. → +1 ”. As a result, the set temperature can be finely set with respect to the entire air conditioning set temperature.
Here, an example in which the temperature is set according to the number of taps has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a temperature adjustment bar is displayed when tapped (not shown), and the temperature is set by a slider in the temperature adjustment bar. It is also possible to set the temperature by tapping the temperature displayed on the bar even when there is no slider.

  Although FIG. 13 shows an example of a living room, touching the left and right triangular arrows on the navigation bar 112 (see FIG. 1) allows reception, which is a registered installation location, living room 1, living room 2 Etc. can be selected.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram showing a processing flow of setting environment information and temperature adjustment setting operations. FIG. 19A is a diagram illustrating a processing flow of setting operation of installation environment information, and FIG. 19B is a diagram illustrating a processing flow of setting operation of temperature adjustment. This will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 19A, when there is an installation environment information input request, the installation environment setting unit 155 displays an environment setting screen (see FIG. 9A) (step S71). When the installation environment setting unit 155 recognizes the tap of the layout of the screen displayed via the operation recognition unit 151 (step S72, layout), the layout setting screen is displayed (see FIG. 9B)) (step S73). ), It is determined whether it has been determined (step S74). If determined (step S74, Yes), the installation environment setting unit 155 registers the layout information input by the user in the installation environment setting information 163, proceeds to step S79, and whether or not the floor plan setting has been completed. If the floor plan is not completed (No at Step S79), the process returns to Step S72. In step S74, the installation environment setting unit 155 returns to step S73 if not determined (No in step S74).

  Next, when the installation environment setting unit 155 recognizes the tap of the size of the screen displayed via the operation recognition unit 151 (step S72, size), the size setting screen is displayed (FIG. 10B). Reference)) (Step S75), it is determined whether or not it has been determined (Step S76). If determined (step S76, Yes), the installation environment setting unit 155 registers the size information input by the user in the installation environment setting information 163, and proceeds to step S79, where the floor plan setting has been completed. If the floor plan is not completed (No at Step S79), the process returns to Step S72. In step S76, the installation environment setting unit 155 returns to step S75 if it is not determined (No in step S76).

  Next, when the installation environment setting unit 155 recognizes the position of the air conditioner or the tap of the fixture displayed on the screen displayed via the operation recognition unit 151 (step S72, arrangement), the arrangement setting screen for setting the arrangement of the air conditioner or fixture. Is displayed (see FIG. 11B)) (step S77), and it is determined whether or not it has been determined (step S78). If determined (step S78, Yes), the installation environment setting unit 155 registers the arrangement information input by the user in the installation environment setting information 163, proceeds to step S79, and whether the floor plan setting has been completed. If the floor plan is not completed (No at Step S79), the process returns to Step S72. In step S78, the installation environment setting unit 155 returns to step S77 if not determined (No in step S78).

  In step S79, when the installation environment setting unit 155 receives a notification of completion of the input of the environment setting that means the completion of the floor plan (Yes in step S79), the installation environment setting unit 155 registers it as user floor plan information of the installation environment setting information 163 and performs processing. Exit.

  In FIG. 19B, when there is a floor plan air conditioning mode activation request, the installation environment setting unit 155 displays a floor plan air conditioning mode screen (see FIG. 13A) (step S81). When the installation environment setting unit 155 recognizes a tap at an arbitrary position on the screen displayed via the operation recognition unit 151 (step S82, Yes), the process proceeds to step S83, and when the tap is not recognized (step S82, No). The process returns to step S82 and waits for input.

  The installation environment setting unit 155 sets the relative temperature based on the number of taps at the tapped position (step S83), determines the wind direction (main wind direction, sub wind direction) from the relationship between the tapped position and the position of the air conditioner, While registering as user spot setting information of the installation environment setting information 163, the wind direction and temperature information are transmitted to the indoor unit 2 (step S84). Then, the installation environment setting unit 155 determines whether or not the floor plan air-conditioning mode has received an end notification (step S85). When the end notification has not been received, the process returns to step S82 and the end notification has been received. The process is terminated.

  According to this embodiment, since the indoor unit 2 can recognize detailed indoor environment information that could not be read by the sensor, detailed air conditioning control can be performed, and a comfortable and energy-saving air conditioning environment can be enjoyed.

  In addition, because spot control is possible, for example, the kitchen where the evening sun is plugged in is cooled more powerfully, but the area where you can relax watching TV is not cooled much. Can be done with a simple operation.

In the above example, the example in which the indoor layout is set mainly on the layout setting screen is shown, but it is also possible to set the layout from the camera image using a terminal having a camera function such as a smartphone. . The ability to set the layout from the camera image in this way is useful for a user who has difficulty in using the functions of the smartphone.
Specifically, a room is photographed by a camera provided in the portable terminal, and the photographed image information is automatically recognized so that it can be used for controlling the air conditioner.
As an example of this automatic recognition, when a soft button controlled by camera image information recognition information (not shown) displayed on an operation menu screen or the like is touch-operated, the camera provided in the portable terminal is activated and photographing is started.
The captured image information is automatically recognized by image recognition software provided in advance to create a room plan (including the size and height of the room, the arrangement of furniture, etc.), and the air based on this figure (image) information It is comprised so that a harmony machine may be controlled.
As an example of the image recognition method at this time, models such as furniture and home appliances (desks, chairs, shelves, refrigerators) are prepared in advance. decide. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it goes without saying that a general image recognition method may be adopted.
For the above shooting, if a camera function capable of 3D shooting is installed, or a function for creating a three-dimensional diagram from a plurality of images is provided, more accurate spatial recognition is possible, which is useful for faithfully reproducing the layout. It is.

When a room is automatically recognized as described above, a screen for confirming the recognition result (for example, a floor plan of a room, or how many tatami mats / tsubo / height) is generated and displayed, and this is approved by operating a soft button. Alternatively, as in the example described above, the layout may be configured to be corrected on the layout setting screen. Here, an example in which the approval is performed by the soft button operation is shown, but when correction is not necessary, it may be automatically stored and set without approval.
As described above, since the layout can be set from the camera image, there is an effect that the labor for selecting furniture on the layout setting screen can be saved and the setting can be simplified.
<External air-conditioning temperature setting>
As a comparative example, a button-type remote control has a timer setting and the like, but it cannot be said that a fine setting is made. For example, (1) During the operation of the air conditioner, the air conditioner may be in vain operation such that the outside is cooler in the morning and evening in summer and the daytime is sufficiently warm in winter. (2) Although a timer is set to be turned off at bedtime in summer, it is not uncommon to wake up again in the middle of the night due to being too hot or too cold, and it is not possible to set a timer for a comfortable sleep. Currently, the time setting for stopping is left to the user's sense.

Conventionally, the operation time is input with a sense based on the past experience of the user. On the other hand, in this embodiment, it is comprised so that reference information may be illustrated regarding the temperature setting and operation time setting in air-conditioning control.
Since it is possible to relatively input an effect desired by the user based on the reference information, it is possible to reduce the effort of the user at the time of setting.
Further, the user can view the setting contents in an analog manner. Specifically, it will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 18 that the temperature setting can be performed by a simple intuitive operation by using the outside air temperature prediction graph at the time of temperature setting.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of setting of temperature adjustment (outside air temperature linked air conditioning mode) based on outside air temperature prediction in the air conditioning control terminal. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating another setting example of the outside air temperature-linked air conditioning mode. This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 shows an example of the case where the temperature is set while the user is in the room and the setting is off while the user is out. FIG. 15 is an example when a constant temperature is set for the outside air temperature prediction graph 142 including the weather forecast information. In any case, unlike the timer setting as a comparative example, the user can control by continuous temperature setting every predetermined time with reference to the outside air temperature prediction graphs 141 and 142. The control every predetermined time is, for example, every 5 minutes based on the temperature adjustment setting information set by the user (see the outside air temperature linked air conditioning setting information 164 in FIG. 3), so as not to place a burden on the indoor unit 2. It means to control every 10 minutes.

  When other functions of the toolbar 114 in FIG. 1 are selected and the outside air temperature interlocking air conditioning control mode is selected, an outside air temperature prediction graph 141 shown in FIG. 14 is displayed. The outside air temperature prediction graph 141 stores outside air temperature prediction information including the weather obtained from the external weather prediction system by the outside air temperature linked temperature adjustment setting unit 156 via the data communication unit 13 as needed. It is based on prediction information.

  In FIG. 14, the user refers to the outside air temperature prediction graph 141, slides the set temperature in the morning with a finger, and releases the finger at about 8:40. In the daytime, he is out and touches his finger with his finger at about 15:30, and then slides. With this alone, the temperature setting and operation time setting for today's air conditioning control can be performed. When the touch is recognized once and the touch is not recognized based on the position information on the touch panel unit 11 of the operation recognizing unit 151, the outside temperature interlocking temperature adjustment setting unit 156 recognizes the automatic off control, and again, When a touch is recognized, it is automatically recognized as an on control.

  FIG. 15 is an example of another temperature setting. The user refers to the outside air temperature prediction graph 142 and slides the screen horizontally with his / her finger while setting the set temperature, which is a recommended energy saving temperature value, to 28 ° C. It is in an operated state. Once the temperature adjustment setting information of the user set once is touched on the screen, for example, the temperature can be raised by sliding upward, and the temperature can be lowered by sliding downward.

  In FIG. 15, in the cooling mode, the outside air temperature interlocking temperature adjustment setting unit 156 controls the cooling mode when the set temperature is 28 ° C. or higher, but the outside air temperature prediction graph 142 is set to the set temperature around 14:00. Since the temperature is less than the predetermined temperature, it is turned off, and it is recognized that the outside air temperature prediction graph 142 becomes the set temperature or higher again at around 17:50. Note that the on control and the off control in the heating mode are opposite to the cooling mode.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a temperature adjustment setting operation based on the outside air temperature prediction. FIG. 16 shows a temperature adjustment setting operation before and after going to bed. The user can perform variable temperature setting by sliding the air conditioning set temperature with a finger while referring to the outside air temperature prediction graph 141. The time can be moved to the left and right of the drawing by tapping the time field portion. As already described in FIG. 14, the outside air temperature interlocking temperature adjustment setting unit 156 automatically stops the operation (off control) when the temperature of the outside air temperature prediction graph 141 falls below the set temperature.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram showing a temperature adjustment on / off setting operation based on the prediction of the outside air temperature. FIG. 17 shows an example of a setting operation when starting the operation of the air conditioner 1 in the morning, when the air conditioner 1 is operated until the commuting time, and when the child returns home in the evening. The outside air temperature interlocking temperature adjustment setting unit 156 can automatically recognize the time when it is desired to stop the air-conditioning operation of the air conditioner 1 by not tracing an arbitrary place (not sliding). In FIG. 17, the broken line of the middle finger indicates a state in which the finger is released from the touch panel unit 11.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating another setting operation of temperature adjustment based on the prediction of the outside air temperature. FIG. 18 shows a case where a weather forecast display is added and the temperature setting is not variable and is set to a constant temperature setting as described in FIG. The constant temperature setting may be set by touching the temperature display portion of the screen to display a scroll bar for the upper and lower temperatures, for example, a double tap operation at 28 ° C. Thereafter, the temperature can be set by moving the displayed set temperature bar of 28 ° C. up and down. When the set temperature exceeds the outside air temperature, the outside air temperature interlocking temperature adjustment setting unit 156 performs a setting to automatically stop in the cooling mode.

  According to FIG. 18, the stop time at a certain set temperature can be recognized at a glance by the comment display with respect to the temperature of the outside air temperature prediction graph. Further, according to FIG. 18, it can be seen that when the set temperature is increased to 29.3 ° C., for example, the display portion (portion indicated by the dark colored band) in the air conditioning operation column becomes shorter.

  After the user completes the temperature adjustment reservation, the outside air temperature linked temperature adjustment setting unit 156 uses the temperature adjustment setting information (see FIG. 3) in the outside air temperature linked air conditioning setting information 164 as the communication control unit 153 and the infrared communication unit 12. Is transmitted to the indoor unit 2. The transmission data includes time t1, set temperature T1, time t2, set temperature T2,..., Time tn, set temperature Tn (n: integer value), off time, and on time. For example, the time may be set every 10 minutes so as to reduce the transmission data capacity. The indoor unit 2 stores transmission data from the air conditioning control terminal 10 as user temperature adjustment setting information in the internal storage unit, and performs control by comparison with the temperature of the indoor unit thermistor 211 (see FIG. 5). In the control of the indoor unit 2, for example, the set temperature at the time between the time t1 and the time t2 may be set by linear interpolation or the like.

  The air conditioning control terminal 10 shown in FIG. 1 of the present embodiment has a storage unit 16 (see FIG. 3) that stores setting information including a wind direction and a wind speed with respect to the air conditioner main body, and an element 117 that indicates the air conditioner main body. A control unit 15 that displays on the touch panel unit 11 a wind balloon 118 that is an operation target figure to be blown out, and stores setting information including the wind direction and the changed direction based on the operation of touching and moving the operation target figure in the storage unit. (See FIG. 3) and a communication unit (for example, infrared communication unit 12) that transmits the changed setting information to the air conditioner body. Therefore, various settings such as the wind direction and wind speed of the air conditioner can be performed simply and intuitively.

  As another example of the above timer setting, an analog clock image can be displayed on the screen, and the timer can be set by rotating the hands to a desired time position by touching and sliding the short hand and the long hand. In addition, when the user specifies by voice that the timer is set using the voice recognition function described above, the analog clock is displayed and the timer can be set.

In the above description, the air conditioning control terminal, the air conditioning control setting operation method, and the air conditioning control setting operation program that mainly transmit the setting information set using the touch panel unit to the air conditioner body have been described.
