Description

空調の遠隔音声制御システム及び方法Air conditioning remote voice control system and method
　本発明は空調の遠隔音声制御制御システム及び方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a remote voice control system and method for air conditioning.
　通常、空調機のON・OFF及び他の制御操作は、空調機のパネルに設置されたボタン又はリモコンのボタンを通じて実現する。例えば、ユーザーは、空調機から一定の距離が離れた時に、リモコンのボタンを押すことで空調機に対し遠隔制御を行う。しかし、空調機の操作機能が益々複雑になるに従って、ボタンの方式による制御方法の不便な部分が多く現れた。例えば、老人又は視覚障害者等の群体にとって、ボタンが非常に多いリモコンを使用するには多くの障害が存在している。
　電子技術の発展に従って、業界では音声制御方式で空調機に対し制御を行う技術の研究を試みが始まったっている。しかし、現段階の音声制御空調機の多くは、空調機に音声制御ユニットを増設することにより、音声を借りて当該空調機に対する遠隔制御を許可するだけである。例えば、従来技術において、キャビネット空調機のキャビネットに音声センサーを増設することで、音声が当該キャビネットに伝達した時に、当該キャビネットに対し操作を実現する技術が開示されている。 Usually, air conditioner ON / OFF and other control operations are realized through buttons installed on the panel of the air conditioner or buttons on the remote control. For example, the user performs remote control on the air conditioner by pressing a button on the remote controller when a certain distance is away from the air conditioner. However, as the operation functions of air conditioners have become more and more complicated, many inconvenient parts of the control method using the button method have appeared. For example, there are many obstacles to using a remote control with a large number of buttons for a group of people such as the elderly or the visually impaired.
With the development of electronic technology, the industry has begun to research technology for controlling air conditioners using voice control. However, many of the voice control air conditioners at the current stage simply borrow a voice and permit remote control of the air conditioner by adding a voice control unit to the air conditioner. For example, in the prior art, a technique is disclosed in which an operation is performed on a cabinet when a voice is transmitted to the cabinet by adding a voice sensor to the cabinet of the cabinet air conditioner.
　しかし、従来技術には依然として数多の欠点が存在している。例えば、音声制御ユニット又は音声識別装置は、依然としてコストが非常に高い部品である。一部の大型空調システム、例えば複数の部屋でそれぞれ空調機を取付けた応用環境にとって、各台の空調機にそれぞれワンセットの音声センサー及び音声識別装置を増設しようとすれば、比較的に高い設備コストでなければならない。このほか、これらの音声センサーと音声識別装置を伝統的な空調機に応用しようとした場合、複雑な回路の取付等の作業が必要である。 However, there are still a number of drawbacks in the prior art. For example, a voice control unit or voice identification device is still a very expensive part. For some large-scale air conditioning systems, for example, in an application environment where air conditioners are installed in multiple rooms, if one set of voice sensor and voice identification device is added to each air conditioner, it will be a relatively expensive facility. Must be a cost. In addition, when trying to apply these voice sensors and voice identification devices to traditional air conditioners, work such as complicated circuit installation is required.
　他方、各台の空調機にすべて上記音声制御ユニット（即ち、音声センサー、音声識別装置及び相応の制御装置）を増設可能であるとしても、ユーザーが実際に使用する過程で依然として空調機との距離に基づき異なる音量を使用することで、音声が順調に空調機に伝達されるようにし、ひいて当該空調機に対する制御を完成する。ユーザーがちょうど当該空調機からやや離れた位置にいる場合、音声を順調に空調機に伝達させるためにはより高い声で叫ばなければならないことは想像できる。このような操作方式にユーザーは明らかに満足できない。 On the other hand, even if the above-mentioned voice control unit (that is, voice sensor, voice identification device and corresponding control device) can be added to each air conditioner, the distance from the air conditioner is still in the process of actual use by the user. By using different sound volumes based on the above, the sound is smoothly transmitted to the air conditioner, and the control for the air conditioner is completed. It can be imagined that if the user is just a little away from the air conditioner, he must scream in a higher voice in order to successfully transmit the sound to the air conditioner. The user is clearly not satisfied with such an operation method.
　上記の従来技術の欠点に対し、本発明は新しい空調遠隔音声制御システムと方法を提示する。具体的には、本発明のシステムと方法は成熟しつつある移動通信技術と結合してユーザーにより便利で、高効率の空調システムの遠隔音声制御体験を提供する。実際に、今現在、数多い移動通信端末（例えば、多数の現在のインテリジェント携帯電話）には既に音声入力部と音声識別ユニットが取付けられているため、本発明はこのような移動通信端末を充分に利用することで好ましい音声制御効果を実現できると同時に、遠隔音声制御のコストを削減することもできる。 In response to the above disadvantages of the prior art, the present invention presents a new air conditioning remote voice control system and method. Specifically, the system and method of the present invention, coupled with a mature mobile communication technology, provides a remote voice control experience for air conditioning systems that are more convenient for the user and more efficient. Actually, since many voice communication units and voice identification units are already attached to many mobile communication terminals (for example, many current intelligent mobile phones) at present, the present invention is sufficiently equipped with such mobile communication terminals. By using it, a preferable voice control effect can be realized, and at the same time, the cost of remote voice control can be reduced.

　図に示されているように、ゲートウェイコンポーネント102は空調機101の外部に設置されており、よって本発明の空調制御システムはより手軽且つ廉価で既存の空調システムに応用することができる。例えば、既存の家庭空調システムにおいてゲートウェイコンポーネントとルーターを増設するだけで、本発明の各機能を実現することができ、各台の空調機にそれぞれ関連する部品を増設することで類似する技術効果を実現する必要がない。 The mobile communication terminal 105 can establish a communication connection with the gateway 104. In particular, the mobile communication terminal 105 includes a voice input unit (for example, 201 in FIGS. 2A and 2B) that can collect a voice command of the user.
