  (First Example) A first example according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the environmental device control system 1 includes a plurality of biosensor devices (biological information detection devices) 2 for detecting user biometric information, an air conditioner 3a, an illumination device 3b, an acoustic device 3c, and the like. Environmental device 3, a remote control device (environmental device control device) 4 for remotely operating the environmental device 3, and a computer 5. Hereinafter, each structure of the environmental equipment control system 1 will be described.

  The biosensor device 2 has a substantially ring-shaped appearance as shown in FIG. 1 and can be worn on the user's finger or arm. As shown in FIG. 2, the biosensor device 2 includes a biosensor 10 for detecting biometric information about a user wearing the biosensor device 2, a sensor control unit 15 that controls the operation of the biosensor 10, and a detection. The biometric information (analog value) is converted into digital data suitable for radio communication by sampling and quantizing the biometric information (analog value) at a predetermined interval, and a radio interface (hereinafter referred to as radio communication such as biometric information transmission). , “Referred to as“ wireless I / F ”) 25. The biological sensor 10 includes various sensors such as a body temperature detection sensor, a blood pressure detection sensor, and a heart rate detection sensor (not shown), and can detect biological information about the user's body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate. The form of the biosensor device 2 is not limited to the ring-shaped device described above, and is integrated with a tape that can be affixed to the user's body, or worn daily by the user such as a watch, glasses, and clothes. It is good also as a wearable structure by incorporating in a thing.

  The remote control device 4 is a so-called learning-type remote control device that can learn a control command corresponding to each environmental device 3 and can remotely control a plurality of environmental devices 3. As shown in FIG. 3, the remote control device 4 includes a biometric information acquisition unit (biological information) that acquires the biometric information transmitted by the radio I / F 30, the infrared I / F 35, and the biosensor device 2 via the radio I / F 30. Information acquisition means) 40, a database section (psychological state table storage section, control value determination table storage section) 45 in which various tables are registered, and a psychological state estimation section (psychological state estimation means) 50 that estimates the user's psychological state. And an environmental equipment control unit (control means) 55 for controlling each environmental equipment 3. Although details will be described later, the database unit 45 corresponds to a device control table CT indicating the control content of each environmental device 3 with respect to biological information, a psychological state table PT indicating a user's psychological state corresponding to the biological information, and a psychological state. A setting table ST indicating settings of control contents, a control value determination table DT indicating specific control values for the settings of environmental devices, and the like are registered in advance. The psychological state estimation unit 50 performs a process of estimating a psychological state using the psychological state table PT. The environmental device control unit 55 determines the control value of each environmental device 3 using the various tables CT, ST, and DT, and outputs a control command corresponding to the control value to each environmental device 3 via the infrared I / F 35. Thus, the operation of each environmental device 3 is controlled. The remote control device 4 has a configuration such as a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, and a timer (not shown).

  Here, two methods (hereinafter referred to as “control method 1” and “control method 2”) will be described as examples of control methods for controlling each environmental device 3.

  (Control Method 1) The control method 1 is a method for directly determining control contents from biological information. For example, the temperature setting of the air conditioner 3a is set from the body temperature T of the biological information according to the device control table CTa for the air conditioner that indicates the temperature setting of the air conditioner 3a that the user of the body temperature T feels comfortable as shown in FIG. decide. Here, in the device control table CTa of FIG. 4, the amount of change in the temperature setting is relatively represented by an arrow, and the arrow head pointing to the left of the drawing means that the temperature setting is maintained, and the arrow tip is the upper side of the drawing. It means that the set temperature is greatly increased as the angle toward is increased. According to the device control table CTa, for example, when the body temperature T is as low as 35.8 degrees C. or less, the user is likely to feel cold, so a temperature setting comfortable for the user is required to increase the set temperature. It is done. Although not shown, the device control table CTa for the air conditioner also shows comfortable temperature settings for each of blood pressure and heart rate, and according to the device control table CTa, a comfortable temperature corresponding to the blood pressure is shown. A comfortable temperature setting corresponding to the setting and heart rate is determined.

  The environmental device control unit 55 determines the optimum temperature setting using the temperature settings determined for each of the biological information of the body temperature, the heart rate, and the blood pressure as described above. For example, according to the device control table CTa, if it is assumed that it is preferable to adjust the temperature setting slightly from the viewpoint of body temperature T and maintain the temperature setting from the viewpoint of heart rate H and blood pressure P, The control content is determined so as to slightly increase the setting (see FIG. 5). The environmental device control unit 55 also determines settings for other environmental devices 3 according to the table. For example, according to the device control table CTc for an audio device shown in FIG. 6, when the heart rate is high, the heart rate H of the biological information is reproduced so that the user is reproduced at a “very slow” tempo so as to calm down. The control content of the preferred audio device 3c is determined from the value. For the lighting device 3b, according to the lighting device control table CTb (not shown), for example, when the body temperature is low, the control content is determined so as to switch to a warm-colored lighting color with a low color temperature. The environmental device control unit 55 outputs a control command corresponding to the control content thus determined to each environmental device 3 via the infrared I / F 35, thereby controlling the environment according to biological information, that is, the user's physical condition. I do.

  (Control Method 2) Next, the control method 2 will be described. The control method 2 estimates a psychological state, that is, a user's feeling from the biological information, and switches control according to the estimated psychological state. The psychological state estimation unit 50 refers to the psychological state table PT registered in the database unit 45 and performs a process of estimating the psychological state of the user wearing the biosensor device 2. In the psychological state table PT, for example, when the body temperature T, heart rate H, and blood pressure P are high, the user's psychological state is “fading”, and when each value is low, the body temperature T, heart rate The state of the living body related to the number H, the blood pressure P, and the like are associated with the representative psychological state in that state in advance (see FIG. 7).

  The environmental device control unit 55 refers to the setting table ST registered in the database unit 45 and controls the operation of each environmental device 3 according to the estimated psychological state. In the setting table ST, the psychological state and the control content of each environmental device 3 are associated with each other. For example, in the “fainting” psychological state, the set temperature is set “a little lower” for the air conditioner 3a, The illuminance is determined to be “bright” for the device 3b and the playback tempo is set to “slow” for the audio device 3c (see FIG. 8). Further, specific control values corresponding to the control contents are shown in a control value determination table DT predetermined for each environmental device. The control value determination table DT associates control contents and control values in advance for each environmental device. FIG. 9A shows a control value determination table DTa for an air conditioner, and FIG. 9B shows a lighting device. This is an example of the control value determination table DTb. Similarly, although not shown, a control value determination table DTc is also defined for the audio equipment 3c. Here, the control value is changed in the control value determination table DT according to the date and time information. For example, when the air conditioning setting for the air conditioner 3a is “slightly low”, according to the control value determination table DTa of the air conditioner shown in FIG. 9A, “−0.5 ° C.” in summer and “−0” in spring. .3 ° C "temperature control value. This is because if the set temperature is lowered in the spring season as in the summer, the environment may become too cold. Further, when the lighting setting for the lighting device 3b is “bright”, according to the control value determination table DTb of the lighting device shown in FIG. 9B, “+ 40Lx” in the daytime, “ The illuminance control value is “+20 Lx”. This is because if the same amount of illuminance as in the daytime is increased at night, there is a concern that it will become too bright. The environmental device control unit 55 outputs a control command corresponding to the control value determined by the control value determination table DT to each environmental device 3 via the infrared I / F 35, thereby responding to the user's biological information. Control the environment.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, control for a plurality of environmental devices 3 is performed by a single remote control device 4 in accordance with the user's biological information. Next, the flow of processing performed by the remote control device 4 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the control method 2 described above will be described as an example.

  When the process is started and the wireless I / F 30 receives a signal from the biosensor device 2 (step S10), the biometric information acquisition unit 40 confirms reception of whether or not the data can be normally received. (Step S11). If the data cannot be received normally (step S11: No), the process returns to step S10 to receive the next transmitted data. When the data can be normally received (step S11: Yes), the biological information acquisition unit 40 acquires biological information about the body temperature T, the heart rate H, and the blood pressure P (step S12).

  The biometric information acquired in step S12 is stored and stored in the RAM. When the biometric sensor device 2 receives a data request from the computer 5 via the wireless I / F 25, it transmits the accumulated biometric information to the computer 5 via the wireless I / F 25. The transmitted biometric information is recorded on a hard disk or the like inside the computer 5 so that the user can utilize the biometric information for his own health management.

  When the biological information is acquired, a control value determination process for determining a control value for each environmental device 3 is performed (step S13). As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 11, in the control value determination process, first, the psychological state estimation unit 50 refers to the psychological state table PT registered in the database unit 45 and sets the psychological state corresponding to the biological information to the user. Is estimated (step S20). Next, the environmental device control unit 55 refers to the setting table ST registered in the database unit 45, determines the setting contents (step S21), and acquires date / time information from the timer (step S22). Next, the environmental device control unit 55 refers to the control value determination table DT and determines the control value of each environmental device corresponding to the setting content and the date / time information (step S23).

  When the control value is determined, the process returns to the process of FIG. 10, and the environmental device control unit 55 transmits a control command corresponding to the determined control value to each environmental device 3 via the infrared I / F 35 (step S14). Thereby, operation | movement of each environmental equipment 3 is controlled. When the control signal is transmitted, the environmental device control unit 55 determines whether or not to stop the operation of each environmental device 3 (step S15), and when it is determined not to stop the operation (step S15: No), the biosensor device. After the elapse of a predetermined time corresponding to the sampling interval of 2 (step S16), the process returns to step S10. For example, when an instruction to stop the operation is input from the remote control device 4 or the like, it is determined that the operation is to be stopped (step S15: Yes), and the processing of FIG.

  In addition, although the flow of the process by the control method 2 was demonstrated above, when performing the process by the control method 1, in the control value determination process of step S13, the environmental equipment control part 55 controls according to the equipment control table CT. The control value corresponding to the content and the control content is determined.

  According to the first embodiment described above, a plurality of environmental devices 3 are integratedly controlled by one remote control device 4 according to biological information, so that the user can be configured with a simple system configuration. It can be controlled to a comfortable environment according to the body condition. In particular, since the contents of control are determined using a plurality of pieces of information including body temperature T, heart rate H, and blood pressure P, a more comfortable environment is obtained as compared with control according to body temperature alone as described in Patent Document 1. It is possible. Moreover, in the control method 2, since each environmental apparatus 3 is controlled according to the psychological state estimated from biological information, the comfortable environment according to the user's psychological state can be obtained. Furthermore, since the control value is changed according to the date and time information, a more comfortable environment can be obtained according to the season and time. In addition, when the user is in an environment that can be controlled by a plurality of environmental devices 3, the user's own biometric information changes under the influence of environmental changes, and the amount of change varies depending on the individual, as shown in FIG. Since the control value is changed relative to the setting at the time of determination, and the control value is updated every predetermined time, the user is gradually controlled in a comfortable environment so that the user can be surely controlled in a comfortable environment. Become so.

  (Second Embodiment) Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the environmental equipment control system of the second embodiment, when the user is in a place where the environmental equipment 3 cannot control the environment, the environmental equipment 3 is controlled in advance and moved to an environment that the user can control. Sometimes, control is performed in advance so that a comfortable environment is obtained. In the following description, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the environmental equipment control system 100 according to the second embodiment includes a plurality of environmental equipment 3, a remote control device 4, and a receiving device 6 having a receiving antenna outdoors. Installed indoors such as in a living room, the receiving device 6 and the remote control device 4 are communicably connected by wire or wirelessly. On the other hand, the user wearing the biosensor device 2 is located outdoors, that is, outside the range that can be controlled by the environmental equipment 3. Further, the remote control device 4 can obtain the position information from the GPS device provided in the biosensor device 2 or the mobile phone owned by the user, and can calculate the distance L between the biosensor device 2 and the indoor. .

  Here, a case where a user who is outdoors moves indoors will be described as an example with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 14 using FIG. 13 showing a change in indoor environmental temperature. The process of FIG. 14 is started when the user who has departed from the outdoor point A passes the point B where the distance L to the indoor is smaller than the predetermined distance Lth (see FIG. 13). Is transmitted to the receiving device 6 (step S30), and the receiving device 6 transmits the received biological information to the remote control device 4 (step S31). Thus, the biological information acquisition unit 40 of the remote control device 4 relays the reception device 6 and acquires biological information from the biological sensor device 2 located outdoors. And the psychological state estimation part 50 estimates the psychological state of the user who exists outdoors from biometric information (step S32), and calculates | requires optimal environment setting (step S33). Here, the control value of the optimum environment setting is obtained using the control value determination table DTa of the air conditioning equipment shown in FIG. 15A, the control value determination table DTb of the lighting equipment shown in FIG. Note that, unlike the first embodiment, the control values in the control value determination table DT are absolute values.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the optimum environment setting obtained in step S33 has changed from the previous setting (step S34). If it is determined that the control value obtained in step S33 is the same as the previously obtained control value and the optimum environment setting has not changed (step S34: No), the process proceeds to step S36. If the values are different and it is determined that the optimum environment setting has changed (step S34: Yes), a control signal corresponding to the optimum environment setting control value is transmitted to each environment device 3 (step S35). The process proceeds to step S36. And it is judged whether a driving | operation is stopped (step S36). If the operation is not stopped (step S36: No), after a predetermined time has elapsed (step S37), the process returns to step S30. If the operation is to be stopped (step S36: Yes), the process of FIG. 14 is terminated. The remote control device 4 determines whether or not the output from the biosensor device 2 can be received. If the remote control device 4 determines that the user is outdoors without being able to receive the output, the processing of FIG. 14 described above is performed. The control is switched to the same control as in the first embodiment at the timing when the output of the biosensor device 2 can be received as the user enters the room.

  According to the second embodiment described above, as shown in FIG. 13, when the user wearing the biosensor device 2 enters the room from the outside (L = 0), the user operates the air conditioner 3a. It is controlled so that there is no comfortable environment. In addition, since each environmental device 3 is controlled with an absolute control value corresponding to the biological information as a target, the indoor environment can be controlled to a comfortable environment for the user even when the user is outdoors. Furthermore, since the process of detecting the biological information and determining the control content is repeatedly performed, it is possible to control to an appropriate environment even if the state of the biological body changes.

  (Third Embodiment) Next, a third embodiment will be described. In the environment control system 200 of the third embodiment, each of a plurality of users wears the biosensor device 2 (2a, 2b, 2c, respectively) (see FIG. 16), and the biometric information of the plurality of users. The environmental equipment 3 is controlled according to the above. Each biosensor device 2 is provided with a storage unit that stores ID information or a DIP switch that is switchable. The remote control device 4 communicates with the biosensor device 2 to communicate ID information or DIP. By acquiring switch setting information, each biosensor device 2 can be identified.

  Hereinafter, a description will be given according to the flowchart of FIG. The processing is started, and the biological information acquisition unit 40 communicates with each biological sensor device 2 and specifies the number of users indoors from the received ID information of each biological sensor device 2 or DIP switch setting information ( Step S40), receiving and acquiring biometric information from each biosensor device 2 (Step S41). Next, the psychological state estimation unit 50 estimates the psychological state of each user wearing the biometric sensor device 2 using the acquired biological information (step S42), and determines the control content of the environmental device 3 for each user ( Step S43). And it is judged whether the control content with respect to each user is the same (step S44). If the control contents are the same (step S44: Yes), the values determined by the control value determination table DT for each user are averaged to obtain a control value (step S45). On the other hand, when different control contents are included (step S44: No), it is determined whether or not the number of users whose control contents are different from the others is less than a predetermined number (step S46). If it is less than the predetermined number (step S46: Yes), the control value is calculated in consideration of the control content different from the others (step S47). For example, when the set temperature, which is the three calculated control values, is 24.5 ° C., 25.0 ° C., and 26.5 ° C., the average is “25.3 ° C.”, but the other two The control value is set to “26.0 ° C.” by applying a weight to 26.5 that is out of the range. On the other hand, when the set temperature is as small as 24.8 ° C., 25.0 ° C., 25.1 ° C., etc., the average value or the median value is set as the control value. If the number of users whose control contents are different from the others is equal to or greater than the predetermined number (step S46: No), an appropriate control value cannot be obtained for all users, and the process proceeds to step S49 without setting a new control value. .

  In the control value determination table DT used in steps S47 and S45, control values are appropriately set according to the user's preference for the environment. Data indicating the preference for each user is registered in the database unit 45 in advance, and the preference is determined with reference to the registered data. Then, for example, for a user who prefers a higher set temperature, the control value determination table DTa1 (see FIG. 18A) in which a higher temperature is set is applied, and for a user who prefers a lower set temperature, a lower value is applied. A control value determination table DTa2 (see FIG. 18B) in which the temperature is set is applied.

  When the control value is obtained in step S45 or S47, a control signal of a command corresponding to the control value is output to each environmental device 3 (step S48), and then it is determined whether or not to stop the operation (step S49). . When the operation is not stopped (step S49: No), after a predetermined time has elapsed (step S50), the process returns to step S40. If the operation is to be stopped (step S49: Yes), the process in FIG.

  According to the third embodiment described above, when each of a plurality of users wears the biosensor device 2, the environment can be controlled so that the plurality of users feel comfortable. Further, as shown in FIG. 18, since the control value determination table DT is determined in consideration of personal preference, it can be controlled to a comfortable environment according to the user's preference.
