次に、本実施形態における空気調和機の動作について図２を基に説明する。
制御部１０８は内部に記憶されている制御プログラムを実行する（Ｓ１）。制御部１０８は操作信号を受信したか否かを判断する（Ｓ２）。制御部１０８が操作信号を受信していない場合（Ｓ２−Ｎｏ）、制御部１０８はＳ２に処理を戻す。制御部１０８が操作信号を受信した場合（Ｓ２−Ｙｅｓ）、制御部１０８は受信した操作信号が運転停止信号であるか否かを判断する（Ｓ３）。受信した操作信号が運転停止を指示した操作信号であった場合（Ｓ３−Ｙｅｓ）、制御部１０８は空気調和機の運転を停止させ（Ｓ４）、制御プログラムを終了させる（Ｓ１２）。受信した操作信号が運転停止を指示した操作信号でなかった場合（Ｓ３−Ｎｏ）、制御部１０８は受信した操作信号が無線アダプタ１０５で受信した外部操作信号であるか否かを判断する（Ｓ５）。 Next, operation | movement of the air conditioner in this embodiment is demonstrated based on FIG.
The control unit 108 executes a control program stored therein (S1). The control unit 108 determines whether an operation signal has been received (S2). When the control unit 108 has not received the operation signal (S2-No), the control unit 108 returns the process to S2. When the control unit 108 receives the operation signal (S2-Yes), the control unit 108 determines whether or not the received operation signal is an operation stop signal (S3). When the received operation signal is an operation signal instructing to stop operation (S3-Yes), the control unit 108 stops the operation of the air conditioner (S4) and ends the control program (S12). When the received operation signal is not an operation signal instructing to stop operation (S3-No), the control unit 108 determines whether or not the received operation signal is an external operation signal received by the wireless adapter 105 (S5). ).

受信した操作信号が無線アダプタ１０５で受信した外部操作信号である場合（Ｓ５−Ｙｅｓ）、制御部１０８はオフタイマー手段１０７が動作中であるか否かを判断する（Ｓ６）。オフタイマー手段１０７が動作中であった場合（Ｓ６−Ｙｅｓ）、制御部１０８はオフタイマー手段１０７のカウントを０にリセットして、再度オフタイマー手段のカウントを開始させた（Ｓ７）後、制御部１０８は外部操作信号の内容に基づいて、空気調和機の動作を制御する（Ｓ８）。
オフタイマー手段１０７が動作していなかった場合（Ｓ６−Ｎｏ）、制御部１０８はオフタイマー手段１０７を起動する（Ｓ９）と共に、表示部１０３に設けられる図示しないランプを点灯させる。その後、制御部１０８は受信した外部操作信号の内容に基づいて、空気調和機の動作を制御する（Ｓ８）。このようにランプを点灯させることで、オフタイマー手段１０７が動作していることをユーザーに知らせることが出来る。
オフタイマー手段１０７は、リセットまたは起動後に所定時間経過したら自動的に空気調和機の動作を停止させる。 When the received operation signal is an external operation signal received by the wireless adapter 105 (S5-Yes), the control unit 108 determines whether or not the off-timer unit 107 is operating (S6). When the off-timer unit 107 is operating (S6-Yes), the control unit 108 resets the count of the off-timer unit 107 to 0 and starts counting of the off-timer unit again (S7), and then performs control. The unit 108 controls the operation of the air conditioner based on the content of the external operation signal (S8).
When the off-timer unit 107 is not operating (S6-No), the control unit 108 activates the off-timer unit 107 (S9) and turns on a lamp (not shown) provided on the display unit 103. Thereafter, the control unit 108 controls the operation of the air conditioner based on the content of the received external operation signal (S8). By lighting the lamp in this way, the user can be informed that the off-timer means 107 is operating.
The off-timer means 107 automatically stops the operation of the air conditioner when a predetermined time elapses after resetting or starting.

受信した操作信号がリモコン用送受信部１０６で受信した直接操作信号である場合（Ｓ５−Ｎｏ）、制御部１０８はオフタイマー手段１０７が動作中であるか否かを判断する（Ｓ１０）。オフタイマー手段１０７が動作中であった場合（Ｓ１０−Ｙｅｓ）、制御部１０８はオフタイマー手段１０７を停止した（Ｓ１１）後、制御部１０８は直接操作信号の内容に基づいて、空気調和機の動作を制御する（Ｓ８）。オフタイマー手段１０７が動作していなかった場合（Ｓ１０−Ｎｏ）、制御部１０８は直接操作信号の内容に基づいて、空気調和機の動作を制御する（Ｓ８）。   When the received operation signal is a direct operation signal received by the remote control transceiver unit 106 (S5-No), the control unit 108 determines whether or not the off timer means 107 is operating (S10). When the off-timer unit 107 is operating (S10-Yes), the control unit 108 stops the off-timer unit 107 (S11), and then the control unit 108 directly controls the air conditioner based on the content of the operation signal. The operation is controlled (S8). When the off-timer means 107 is not operating (S10-No), the control unit 108 controls the operation of the air conditioner based on the contents of the direct operation signal (S8).

以上より、外部操作信号より運転開始した時に起動したオフタイマー手段の動作を停止させるためだけのリモコン操作を無くすことで、ユーザーの手間を無くし利便性を向上させることが出来る。   From the above, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of the user and improve convenience by eliminating the remote control operation only for stopping the operation of the off-timer means activated when the operation is started by the external operation signal.
