The air conditioner includes an air conditioner, an air purifier, a dehumidifier and the like. The illuminance adjusting unit 1c, the chromaticity adjusting unit 1d, and the light distribution adjusting unit 1g are configured by an illumination device or a light shielding device. Illumination devices include various instruments that can irradiate direct light, indirect light, and spot light. The light shielding device includes an appliance such as an electric curtain and an electric blind. The odor adjusting unit 1f includes an air purifier and a ventilator that adjust indoor odors.

  The environment adjustment unit 1 may be configured as shown in FIG. The environment adjustment unit 1 includes a sound adjustment unit 1h such as a speaker in addition to the environment adjustment unit 1 of FIG. Correspondingly, the environment extraction unit 5 in FIG. 5A includes a sound extraction unit 5h such as a microphone.

  The environment adjustment unit 1 operates according to a control signal from the control unit 2. The environment adjusted by the environment adjustment unit 1 is at least one of room temperature, humidity, illuminance, chromaticity, air volume, odor, light distribution, and sound.

  The control unit 2 is configured by a microcomputer that performs predetermined processing according to a program such as a CPU. The control unit 2 controls the indoor environment by controlling the environment adjustment unit 1 in accordance with an operation on the operation unit 3 and a user's operation. At this time, the control unit 2 has an environment pattern (first environment pattern) corresponding to the operation stored in the behavior-environment database 6, and an environment pattern (first environment pattern) corresponding to the user's action scene stored in the attribute-environment database 7. Reference is made to the second environmental pattern.

  Furthermore, the control unit 2 includes an environment control unit 2a, a scene determination unit 2b, a satisfaction determination unit 2c, and a power extraction unit 2d. These environment control unit 2a, scene determination unit 2b, satisfaction determination unit 2c, and power extraction unit 2d are realized by the CPU executing a program.

  The display unit 8 is a display that presents various types of information to the user, such as an indoor wall or a television. The display unit 8 displays various information according to the control of the control unit 2. In particular, the display unit 8 displays the user satisfaction level and the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1 as various devices in association with each first environment pattern (display unit).

  The operation unit 3 is, for example, a switch group exposed from the wall surface of the indoor space where the environment adjustment unit 1 is installed. The switch group of the operation unit 3 is operated, for example, when inputting user attribute information (attribute input means). The attribute information may include at least one of the user's age, sex, race, eye disease, and coldness. Of course, the operation unit 3 may include various environmental pattern settings of the environmental control system and switches for turning on and off the environmental adjustment unit 1. In particular, the operation unit 3 is operated when selecting any one of the plurality of environment patterns displayed on the display unit 8 (selection means).

  The motion sensor 4 detects the motion of the user in which the environment adjustment unit 1 is installed. The motion detected by the motion sensor 4 is acquired by the control unit 2. The motion sensor 4 may be a camera 41 as shown in FIG. 3, for example. As the camera 41, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, a camera having a vertical detection range of 45 degrees and a distance capable of detecting a user's movement of about 5 m can be used. The motion sensor 4 may include a thermoviewer, a human sensor, and a microphone that detects a user's voice.

  The control unit 2 extracts the user's motion according to the output of the motion sensor 4 (motion extraction means). This operation includes the state where the user is sitting, the state of the user's line of sight, the sound of the user himself / herself and the surroundings of the user, and the like. The control unit 2 determines the action scene of the user based on the extracted user action (scene determination means). For example, the control unit 2 determines any one of a study scene, a danran scene, a video viewing scene, a relaxation scene, and a work scene as the action scene. For example, when a voice like a sigh of the user is detected and the user is sitting by the camera 41 and there is little movement, the control unit 2 determines that the current action scene is a relaxation scene. Further, the control unit 2 can determine a study scene, a full-scale scene, a movie appreciation scene, and a work scene according to the voice, the user's action, and the user's line of sight.

  Note that the control unit 2 may input a user attribute according to the output of the camera 41, the microphone, or the like constituting the motion sensor 4 (attribute input unit). The control unit 2 determines the age, sex, and race according to the video and audio.

  The behavior-environment database (first storage means) 6 stores a behavior scene determined by the control unit 2 and a first environment pattern associated with the behavior scene. This first light distribution pattern is registered in advance as a standard environment pattern that increases the satisfaction of the user specified in the action scene. For example, for each action scene as shown in FIG. 4, an environmental state regarding air quality and lighting is stored in the action-environment database 6. In the example of FIG. 4, environment information is stored corresponding to each unit 1 a to 1 g of the environment adjustment unit 1 and each unit 5 a to 5 g of the environment extraction unit 5. For example, when a studying action scene is determined as the action scene, the control unit 2 extracts a first environment pattern corresponding to the study. The control unit 2 controls each unit 1a to 1h in the environment adjustment unit 1 according to the extracted first environment pattern, and adjusts air quality and light (environment adjustment unit).

  For example, when the amount of activity of the user is high or when there is a high possibility of shifting to an operation involving heat generation by the user, the control unit 2 determines that the work scene. The control unit 2 reads the first environment pattern corresponding to the work scene from the behavior-environment database 6. As a result, the control unit 2 extracts optimal environmental information from the behavior-environment database 6 that lowers the room temperature or lowers the sensible temperature.

  Furthermore, the control unit 2 determines that it is a study scene when performing an action such as sitting at the desk. The control unit 2 reads the first environment pattern corresponding to the study scene from the behavior-environment database 6. As a result, the control unit 2 illuminates the desk with high illuminance, and at the same time extracts environmental information from the behavior-environment database 6 that has the optimal room temperature, humidity, air volume, and odor so as to achieve the optimal temperature for study.

  The attribute-environment database (second storage means) 7 stores attribute information input by the control unit 2 and a second environment pattern corresponding to the attribute information. This second environment pattern is registered in advance as a pattern for controlling the environment adjustment unit 1 to increase the satisfaction degree of the user specified by the attribute information. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the optimum environment corresponding to each part 1a to 1g of the environment adjustment unit 1 and each part 5a to 5g of the environment extraction unit 5 for each age of teens to 70s as attribute information Information is stored. The optimum environment information according to this attribute includes at least one information of room temperature, humidity, air volume, odor, illuminance, chromaticity, and light distribution. For example, when the age of 20's is input as the attribute information, the control unit 2 takes out the second environment pattern corresponding to the 20's. The control unit 2 controls the environment adjustment unit 1 according to the extracted second environment pattern (environment adjustment means). Thereby, the control part 2 controls the environment adjustment part 1 so that it may be suitable for attribute information, such as 20's, and improves a user's satisfaction.

  For example, the control unit 2 inputs an attribute of the age of, for example, a twenties by the operation unit 3. In response to this, the control unit 2 extracts from the attribute-environment database 7 optimum air quality and lighting environment information associated with the twenties. For example, an elderly person has a strong tendency to show discomfort when the brightness is low. For this reason, illuminance is set high in all action scenes. That is, the control unit 2 corrects the first environment pattern with the second environment pattern corresponding to the input attribute information. And the control part 2 controls the environment adjustment part 1 so that it may become the said corrected 1st environment pattern.

  Note that the user attributes include not only age but also sex, race, eye disease, coldness, and the like. Corresponding to these attributes, optimum environment information is registered in the attribute-environment database 7. Thereby, the control part 2 can correct the 1st environment pattern by controlling the environment adjustment part 1, whenever attribute information, such as age, sex, race, eye disease, and coldness, is input.

  The control unit 2 corrects the first environment pattern controlled by the action scene based on the second environment pattern. Thereby, the control unit 2 controls the environment adjustment unit 1 so as to be suitable not only for the action scene but also for the user's attribute, and improves the satisfaction of the user of the attribute. The optimum air quality and lighting environment information such as “◯” and “Δ” shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 may be the air quality adjustment degree and the light adjustment degree.

  After the control of the environment adjustment unit 1 based on the first environment pattern and the second environment pattern, the control unit 2 extracts the degree of satisfaction with respect to the result of the control of the environment adjustment unit 1 (satisfaction extraction means). For example, the control unit 2 performs parameter extraction that represents the facial expression of the user using the camera 41. The control unit 2 calculates the satisfaction level of the user using a relational expression between the satisfaction level and the expression parameter such as the degree of looseness of the mouth corner. Thereby, the control part 2 can obtain the relaxation satisfaction expressed, for example, by 0% to 100%. Moreover, the control part 2 may calculate satisfaction from the psychological state extracted from the facial expression parameter. Further, the control unit 2 may detect a user's brain wave, heartbeat, action, sweating, body temperature, body odor, and the like as the satisfaction.

  Next, in the environment control system described above, the relationship between air quality, lighting, sound as variables included in the behavior-environment database 6 and the attribute-environment database 7 and the temperature experienced by the user will be described. Note that the user's perceived temperature is arbitrary depending on the user's satisfaction with the perceived temperature. However, the user's satisfaction can be improved by controlling the environment adjustment unit 1 to change the temperature of the user's experience.

  By changing the air quality, the sensible temperature can be raised or lowered. For example, the higher the room temperature, the higher the sensible temperature. In addition, the higher the humidity, the higher the temperature that can be experienced. Furthermore, the greater the air volume, the lower the sensible temperature. Conversely, the lower the room temperature, the lower the sensible temperature. In addition, the lower the humidity, the lower the sensible temperature. In addition, the lower the air volume, the higher the sensible temperature. In addition, the scent of mint has the effect of lowering the temperature of sensation.

  In addition, by changing the light, the sensible temperature can be raised or lowered. For example, the higher the illuminance, the higher the sensed temperature. In addition, the greater the amount of light that enters the field of view, the higher the perceived temperature. Furthermore, warm-colored light increases the temperature of the body. Conversely, the lower the illuminance, the lower the sensible temperature. In addition, as the amount of light entering the field of view decreases, the sensible temperature also decreases. In addition, blue and white lights will lower the temperature.

  As an example, as shown in FIG. 6, it is known that the temperature of the sensation decreases as the light becomes warmer, white, or blue. When blue light is used, there is a psychologically refreshing effect, but the sensible temperature decreases. In order to obtain a refreshing feeling of blue light at the same sensible temperature, it is necessary to change the environment by controlling the environment adjusting unit 1 so as to increase the sensible temperature by changing the air quality and sound.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, when blue or white light L1 is irradiated and the room temperature is 15 degrees, it feels cold. However, as shown in FIG. 7B, the blue or white light L1 is changed to a warm color light L2. As a result, the user can increase the sensible temperature by the warm color light L2. By using warm color light in this way, it is possible to change to a comfortable environment even when the room temperature is relatively low. Furthermore, when it is not desired to raise the room temperature in consideration of power consumption, it can be changed to warm color light L2.

  Furthermore, the sensory temperature can be raised or lowered by changing the sound. For example, in the case of Japanese, wind chimes can lower the sensible temperature.

  Next, display contents for displaying the user satisfaction and the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1 for each environment pattern in the display unit 8 in the above-described environment control system will be described.

  FIG. 8 shows the relationship between environment information as an adjustable variable and the first environment pattern. The control unit 2 extracts a standard first environment pattern 100 having a relatively high degree of satisfaction according to the action scene and attribute from the action-environment database 6 and the attribute-environment database 7. The control unit 2 operates the environment adjustment unit 1 according to each environment information included in the environment pattern. And the control part 2 extracts a user's satisfaction. For example, when the behavior scene is a study and the attribute is a man in his 30s, a standard first environment pattern 100 with relatively high satisfaction can be obtained as shown in FIG. This first environment pattern 100 represents that the indoor environment with high illuminance and chromaticity is high in satisfaction for men in their 30s who are studying.

  The control unit 2 controls the environment adjustment unit 1 by gradually changing the environment pattern over a plurality of times in the first environment pattern 100 in order to obtain higher satisfaction. Every time the environment pattern is changed, the control unit 2 extracts the satisfaction level and the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1 for the environment pattern (power consumption extraction unit). Thereby, the control part 2 can acquire the environmental pattern 101 with the highest satisfaction which cannot be specified by the action scene and the attribute. Furthermore, the control unit 2 can acquire the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1 in the environment pattern.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9, in the first environment pattern 100, the room temperature, humidity, illuminance, chromaticity, air volume, odor, light distribution, and sound are adjusted to obtain satisfaction for each environment pattern. be able to. That is, with respect to the standard environmental pattern 100 satisfied by men in their 30s in the study scene, the room temperature, humidity, illuminance, chromaticity, air volume, odor, light distribution, and sound are further adjusted to achieve satisfaction. Can be obtained.

  In FIG. 9, each circle corresponds to each environment pattern adjusted with respect to the standard environment pattern 100. In FIG. 9, the environmental pattern 101 with high satisfaction is represented by H1. H2 is an environmental pattern having the second highest satisfaction level after the environmental pattern 101 of H1. M is an environmental pattern having the second highest satisfaction level after the environmental pattern of H2. L is an environmental pattern having the second highest satisfaction level after the environmental pattern of M. The environmental pattern of H2, M, and L is an environmental pattern in which room temperature, humidity, illuminance, chromaticity, air volume, odor, light distribution, and sound are adjusted with respect to the environmental pattern 101 of H1. It is.

  The control unit 2 acquires the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1 when the room temperature, humidity, illuminance, chromaticity, air volume, odor, light distribution, and sound are adjusted for each environmental pattern shown in FIG. Thereby, the control unit 2 can acquire the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1 for each environment pattern included in the standard environment pattern 100.

  When the control unit 2 acquires the satisfaction level and the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1 for each environment pattern included in the standard environment pattern 100, the control unit 2 creates display data for performing display as illustrated in FIG. . This display data is supplied to the display unit 8.

  FIG. 10 shows a stereoscopic image 110 whose height increases as the degree of satisfaction increases. In this stereoscopic image 110, a range having the same satisfaction is divided by contour lines. The stereoscopic image 110 includes three high satisfaction areas 111, 112, and 113 with high satisfaction. The high satisfaction area 111 represents the environmental pattern of H1 in FIG. The high satisfaction areas 112 and 113 represent the environmental pattern of H2 in FIG. Further, in the stereoscopic image 110, 8.0 kw / h is written in the high satisfaction area 111 as the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1 when the environment pattern is H1. Similarly, in the high satisfaction area 112, 6.0 kw / h is written in parallel as the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1. Similarly, 7.0 kw / h is written in the high satisfaction area 113 as the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1.

  FIG. 11 as another display example shows a stereoscopic image 110 having a different inclination in the depth direction from the stereoscopic image 110 of FIG.

  Here, even if the environmental pattern is adjusted according to the user's action scene and attribute, a plurality of environmental patterns having a high degree of satisfaction for the user are extracted as local maximum values like the environmental pattern H1 in FIG. There is a case. The control unit 2 acquires the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1 for each environment pattern, and displays a stereoscopic image 110 as shown in FIGS. Accordingly, the user can select any one of the environmental patterns displayed on the display unit 8 by operating the operation unit 3. In addition, it is possible to select an environment pattern after selecting an environment pattern with a high degree of satisfaction, reproducing the environment, and experiencing the environment pattern.

  Next, an operation procedure in the environmental control system as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, in step S <b> 1, the control unit 2 extracts a user's movement according to a signal from the motion sensor 4. In the next step S2, the control unit 2 determines the action scene of the user from the movement extracted in step S1 (scene determination means). Thereby, the control unit 2 can obtain a standard first environment pattern corresponding to the action scene from the action-environment database 6.

  In the next step S <b> 3, the control unit 2 inputs user attribute information through an input operation of the operation unit 3 or the like. The control unit 2 takes out the second environment pattern corresponding to the input attribute information from the attribute-environment database 7.

  In the next step S4, the control unit 2 controls the environment adjustment unit 1 to adjust the indoor environment. At this time, the control unit 2 corrects the first environment pattern with the second environment pattern. And the control part 2 extracts the present indoor environment with the signal from the environment extraction part 5, and operates the environment adjustment part 1 so that the said current indoor environment becomes environment information of a 1st environment pattern (environment adjustment means) ).

  In the next step S <b> 5, the control unit 2 extracts the current indoor environment by a signal from the environment extraction unit 5.

  In the next step S6, the control unit 2 extracts the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1 (power consumption extraction means).

  In the next step S7, the control unit 2 extracts the satisfaction level of the user after step S4. At this time, the control unit 2 uses the image data of the camera 41 and the like included in the motion sensor 4 to satisfy the user based on the facial expression parameters of the user, brain waves, body temperature, heart rate variability, body odor, body movement, and the like. Extract the degree.

  In the next step S8, the control unit 2 determines whether or not the environment in step S5, the power consumption in step S6, and the number of satisfaction extractions in step S7 have reached predetermined values. This predetermined value only needs to be able to obtain an environmental pattern with a higher degree of satisfaction within the standard first environmental pattern. If the number of extractions has not reached the predetermined value, the process returns to step S4. Thereby, the control unit 2 adjusts the room temperature, humidity, illuminance, chromaticity, air volume, odor, light distribution, and sound within the standard first environment pattern, and repeats the processing from step S5 to step S7. . If it is determined that the number of extractions has reached a predetermined value, the process proceeds to step S9.

  In step S9, the control unit 2 displays the stereoscopic image 110 including the power consumption and the satisfaction degree in each of the first environment patterns extracted in steps S5 to S7 among the standard first environment patterns.

  In the next step S10, the control unit 2 selects one of the plurality of first environment patterns displayed in step S9.

  As described above, the environment control system controls the environment adjustment unit 1 so as to be an environment pattern included in the first environment pattern. And the control part 2 extracts the satisfaction degree of each environmental pattern, and the control part 2 extracts the power consumption of the various apparatuses in each environmental pattern. The display unit 8 displays the satisfaction level and the power consumption in association with each environmental pattern. Thereby, the user can operate the operation unit 3 to select a preferred environment pattern from among the first environment patterns.

  In addition, according to this environmental control system, the power consumption is displayed in addition to the satisfaction degree for each environmental pattern, so that the user can actually experience the environmental pattern of the standard first environmental patterns and reduce the power consumption. The environment can be selected in consideration of the above.

  Furthermore, according to this environmental control system, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the degree of satisfaction and power consumption can be described for each environmental pattern in a visually easy-to-understand manner, and a plurality of environments where the user is satisfied can be listed. it can.
