[Overview of Management System S]
FIG. 1 is a diagram for describing an overview of a management system S according to an embodiment of the present invention. The management system S is a system for operating the operation target devices 400 a and 400 b according to an operation command from the operation terminal 100. The management system S includes a plurality of operation terminals 100, a management device 200, a multi remote controller 300, and operation target devices 400a and 400b. The multi remote controller 300 and the operation target devices 400a and 400b are installed in the house N.

  Operation terminal 100 is, for example, a smartphone. The operation terminal 100 is connected to the management device 200 via a wireless communication line such as LTE or Wi-Fi (registered trademark). Operation terminal 100 transmits an operation command for operating operation target device 400a or 400b to management device 200. The operation terminal 100 may transmit the operation command from the same home N as the operation target devices 400a and 400b, or may transmit the operation command from a place other than the home N.

  For example, the operation terminal 100 receives an operation input of a user for operating the operation target devices 400a and 400b by activating an application for operating the operation target devices 400a and 400b. Operation terminal 100 manages device specification information for specifying an operation target device to be operated according to the received operation input, an operation command for specifying operation content, and terminal identification information for specifying operation terminal 100. Send to 200 The terminal identification information is, for example, an ID number of a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module). In the example of the present embodiment, it is assumed that only one user respectively uses one operation terminal 100. Operation terminal 100 may be a smart speaker for in-home installation having a voice assistant function and a wireless communication function.

  The operation target devices 400a and 400b are devices that can be controlled by a signal output from the multi remote controller 300, and are, for example, household appliances. In the example of FIG. 1, the operation target device 400 a is an air conditioning control device such as an air conditioner, and the operation target device 400 b is a television. The operation target devices 400a and 400b are devices that can be remotely controlled by infrared signals.

  The management device 200 communicates with a plurality of operation terminals 100 and the multi remote controller 300 via a base station (not shown). The management device 200 receives an operation command from the operation terminal 100. Further, the management device 200 operates the operation target device 400a or 400b by controlling the multi remote controller 300 and outputting a signal corresponding to the received operation command to the multi remote controller 300.

  The management device 200 generates control information for causing the multi remote controller 300 to output a signal. The control information is a signal pattern signal for operating the operation target device with the operation content instructed by the received operation instruction among the signal patterns for operating the operation target device specified by the received device specification information. This is information for causing the multi remote controller 300 to output. The management device 200 transmits the generated control information to the multi remote controller 300.

  Further, the management device 200 obtains the number of operation terminals present in a predetermined area. The predetermined area is an area in which the operation target devices 400a and 400b exist, and is, for example, in-home N. The management device 200 determines a recommended operation for operating the operation target device 400a or 400b when the number of operation terminals present in the predetermined area and the received operation command are a predetermined combination. The recommended operation is an operation associated with the received operation command. By using such a configuration, it is possible to suppress forgetting to perform the related operation when operating the operation target device 400a or 400b by the operation command.

  For example, the management apparatus 200 indicates that the number of operation terminals 100 existing in a predetermined area is zero or one, and the operation instruction instructs to stop or reduce the power supply to the operation target apparatus 400a. In this case, stopping or reducing the power supply to another operation target device 400b is presented to the user as a recommended operation. When the user approves the presented recommended operation, the management device 200 stops or reduces the power supply to the other operation target device 400b as presented.

  When the number of operation terminals 100 in the predetermined area is zero or one and the operation instruction instructs to stop or reduce the power supply to the operation target device 400a, the user is out of the house or out of the house It is likely to be just before. Therefore, by presenting the user with a recommended operation for stopping or reducing the power supply of the other operation target device 400b, it is possible to reduce the power consumption in the predetermined area away from home.

  The multi remote controller 300 outputs a signal for operating the operation target device 400a or 400b to the operation target device 400a or 400b, respectively. The multi remote controller 300 outputs a signal of a signal pattern for operating the operation target devices 400a and 400b. In the multi remote controller 300, a signal pattern corresponding to the operation content of each operation target device is registered. The signal pattern is, for example, an infrared blinking pattern consisting of a combination of lighting time and lighting off time. The multi remote controller 300 outputs a signal of a signal pattern specified by the control information received from the management device 200. A plurality of multi remote controllers 300 may be installed in the home N.

FIG. 3A shows a screen for designating an operation target device operated by the operation terminal 100, and FIG. 3B shows a screen for designating an operation content.

  In the screen illustrated in FIG. 3A, the operation receiving unit 141 receives an operation of specifying an operation target device operated by the operation terminal 100. The icon on the left side is an icon for specifying the operation target device 400a as an operation target, and the icon on the right side is an icon for specifying the operation target device 400b as an operation target.

  The operation receiving unit 141 causes the display unit 11 to display the screen shown in FIG. 3B when an operation to select the icon on the left side is received on the screen shown in FIG. 3A. In FIG. 3B, icons corresponding to various functions of the operation target device 400a are displayed. For example, when the operation reception unit 141 receives an operation to select the “ON” icon, the generation unit 142 generates an operation instruction instructing to turn on the power to the operation target device 400a, and the generated operation instruction The device designation information for designating the operation target device 400a as the operation target is transmitted to the management device 200.

[Configuration of Management Device 200]
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the configuration of the management device 200. As shown in FIG. The management device 200 includes a communication unit 21, a storage unit 22, and a control unit 23. The communication unit 21 is a communication interface for communicating with the operation terminal 100 and the multi remote controller 300 via a base station. The storage unit 22 is a storage medium such as a ROM and a RAM. The storage unit 22 stores a program that the control unit 23 executes. The control unit 23 is, for example, a CPU. The control unit 23 functions as an instruction acquisition unit 231, a terminal number acquisition unit 232, a determination unit 234, a presentation unit 235, and a remote control signal instruction unit 233 by executing a program stored in the storage unit 22.

  The command acquisition unit 231 receives an operation command for operating the operation target device 400a or 400b from the operation terminal 100 by the communication unit 21. The instruction acquisition unit 231 notifies the remote control signal instruction unit 233 and the determination unit 234 of the received operation instruction.

  The terminal number acquisition unit 232 obtains the number of operation terminals 100 present in a predetermined area among the plurality of operation terminals 100. Terminal identification information of a plurality of operation terminals 100 is registered in advance in the storage unit 22 in association with contractor information. The contractor information is information indicating whether the user subscribes to the service of the telecommunications carrier for operating the operation target devices 400a and 400b by the operation command. When the instruction acquisition unit 231 receives an operation instruction, the terminal number acquisition unit 232 indicates that the user has subscribed to the service of the communication carrier for operating the operation target devices 400a and 400b by the operation instruction. The terminal specifying information associated with the person information is specified respectively.

  For example, the terminal number acquisition unit 232 requests the identified operation terminal 100 for GPS information indicating the position of the operation terminal 100 via the communication unit 21, and receives the GPS information from the operation terminal 100, respectively. The terminal number acquisition unit 232 determines whether the position indicated by the acquired GPS information is within a predetermined distance from the position registered in the storage unit 22 as the installation place of the multi remote control 300 or the mailing address when selling the multi remote control 300 or the like. The number of operation terminals 100 present in a predetermined area is determined by determining The predetermined distance is a value in consideration of the measurement error of GPS, and is, for example, 50 meters.

  Further, the terminal number acquisition unit 232 may obtain the number of operation terminals 100 present in a predetermined area based on the IP address of the operation terminal 100. The multi remote controller 300 is connected to a local network formed in the home N, and the storage unit 22 registers the IP address of the multi remote controller 300. When connected to a local network formed in the home N, the operation terminal 100 communicates with the management apparatus 200 with the same IP address as the multi remote controller 300.

  The terminal number acquisition unit 232 compares the IP addresses of the plurality of operation terminals 100 with the IP address of the multi-remote controller 300 registered in the storage unit 22. The terminal number acquisition unit 232 obtains the number of operation terminals 100 having an IP address that matches the IP address of the multi remote controller 300 registered in the storage unit 22, and the obtained number of operation terminals 100 exists in a predetermined area. The number of operating terminals 100 to be

  The terminal number acquisition unit 232 may also obtain the number of operation terminals connected to the local network formed in the home N by a technique such as UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) or Bonjour (registered trademark). The in-home N local network is formed by a wireless LAN such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth (registered trademark), for example.

  When the same user owns a plurality of operating terminals 100, the number of operating terminals does not match the number of users. In this case, in order to obtain the number of users, it is necessary to specify the user who owns the plurality of operation terminals 100. The terminal number acquisition unit 232 receives the terminal identification information of the operation terminal 100 by the communication unit 21. In the storage unit 22, terminal identification information of a plurality of operation terminals 100 is registered in advance in association with user identification information for identifying a user. The number-of-terminals acquisition unit 232 reads the user identification information associated with the received terminal identification information in the storage unit 22 and compares the read user identification information with each other to cope with the same user identification information in the storage unit 22. The operation terminal 100 having the attached terminal identification information is identified.

  The operation terminal 100 having the terminal identification information associated with the same user identification information can be regarded as an operation terminal owned by the same user. Therefore, the terminal number acquisition unit 232 is a terminal associated with the same user identification information in the storage unit 22 among the operation terminals 100 that transmitted GPS information etc. indicating within a predetermined distance from the position registered in the storage unit 22. The number excluding the number of the second and subsequent operation terminals 100 of the operation terminals 100 having identification information is obtained, and the obtained number is set as the number of operation terminals 100 present in a predetermined area.

  The remote control signal designation unit 233 acquires device specification information and an operation instruction from the instruction acquisition unit 231. The remote control signal instructing unit 233 controls the multi remote controller 300 via the communication unit 21 to instruct the acquired operation command among the signal patterns for operating the operation target device specified by the acquired device specification information. The signal of the signal pattern corresponding to the operation content is output.

  For example, when the user subscribes to the service of the communication carrier for operating the operation target device or purchases the multi-remote control 300 etc., the communication carrier is given the model number of the operation target device installed in the home N Notice. The communication carrier causes the multi remote control 300 to register a signal pattern for operating the operation target device of the notified model number.

  In addition, the user may input the model number of the operation target device installed in the home N in the application of the operation terminal 100. In this case, the operation terminal 100 notifies the management apparatus 200 of the model number, and the remote control signal instructing unit 233 acquires a signal pattern for operating the operation target apparatus of the notified model number from the external server (not shown) The signal pattern may be notified to the multi remote controller 300. The multi remote controller 300 registers the signal pattern notified by the remote control signal instruction unit 233.

  The determining unit 234 is a recommended operation for operating the operation target device 400a or 400b when the operation command acquired by the instruction acquiring unit 231 and the number of the operation terminals 100 present in the predetermined area are a predetermined combination. Decide. The recommended operation is an operation related to the operation instruction acquired by the instruction acquisition unit 231. The operation target device operated by the operation command acquired by the instruction acquisition unit 231 may be the same as or different from the operation target device operated by the recommended operation. For example, the determining unit 234 is configured such that the number of operation terminals obtained by the number-of-terminals acquiring unit 232 is zero or one, and the operation content instructed by the operation instruction stops or reduces the power supply to the operation target device. In this case, it is determined as a recommended operation to stop or reduce the power supply to the other operation target device.

  The operation of the determination unit 234 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 shows an example of the recommended operation stored in the storage unit 22. The storage unit 22 stores a recommended operation in association with a combination of an operation command and the number of operation terminals 100 in a predetermined area.

  The state in which the number of operation terminals is zero in FIG. 5 indicates that the number of operation terminals 100 present in the predetermined area obtained by the number-of-terminals acquisition unit 232 is not one. In this state, the operation target device is operated by the operation terminal 100 existing outside the predetermined area. In addition, the state in which the number of operation terminals is one indicates that the number of operation terminals 100 present in the predetermined area obtained by the number-of-terminals acquisition unit 232 is only one.

  The determination unit 234 acquires the number of terminals when the operation content instructed by the operation instruction received by the instruction acquisition unit 231 is to stop the power supply to the air conditioner as the operation target device 400a as shown in FIG. If the number of operation terminals 100 in the predetermined area determined by the unit 232 is two or three, the recommended operation is not determined. On the other hand, when the operation content instructed by the operation instruction received by the instruction acquisition unit 231 is to stop the power supply to the air conditioner, the determination unit 234 determines the operation terminal in the predetermined area obtained by the terminal number acquisition unit 232 If the number of 100 is zero, it is determined as a recommended operation to stop the power supply to the television as the operation target device 400b.

  Further, the determination unit 234 is for the operation content instructed by the operation command received in the command acquisition unit 231 to stop the power supply to the air conditioner, and for the operation terminal 100 in the predetermined area obtained by the terminal number acquisition unit 232. If the command acquisition unit 231 receives an operation command from the operation terminal 100 connected to the local network formed in the home N, the number is one, the power supply to the television is to be stopped. Determined as a recommended operation.

  If the number of operation terminals 100 in the predetermined area obtained by the terminal number acquisition unit 232 is zero, it can be considered that there is no user in the home N. In addition, the number of operation terminals 100 in the predetermined area determined by the number-of-terminals acquisition unit 232 is one, and the operation acquisition unit 231 is connected to the local network formed in the home N and the air conditioner is connected to the local network. When an operation command instructing to stop the power supply to the home is received, it can be predicted that all users at home N go out and home N will be absent. For this reason, the determination unit 234 can improve the convenience of the user by recommending the operation of turning off all the plurality of operation target devices in the home N.

  In addition, when the instruction acquisition unit 231 receives an operation command instructing the operation of the operation target device 400a, the determination unit 234 recommends that the operation target device 400a change the target temperature for controlling the indoor temperature. It may be determined as For example, the determination unit 234 changes the target temperature when the command acquisition unit 231 receives an operation command for instructing the operation target device 400a to turn on the power or to use the operation target device 400a as cooling. It may be determined as a recommended operation. The target temperature in this recommended operation may be different according to the number of operation terminals 100 in the predetermined area obtained by the terminal number acquisition unit 232. For example, the target temperature may be lower as the number of operation terminals 100 in the predetermined area determined by the terminal number acquisition unit 232 is larger.

  The presentation unit 235 presents the recommended operation determined by the determination unit 234 to the operation terminal 100 that has transmitted the operation command. For example, the presentation unit 235 causes the display unit 11 of the operation terminal 100 to display the recommended operation determined by the determination unit 234. In addition, the presentation unit 235 may cause the recommended operation determined by the determination unit 234 to be output by voice from a speaker (not shown) of the operation terminal 100. The presentation unit 235 generates a control signal for causing the multi remote control 300 to output a signal corresponding to the presented recommended operation when the user approves the presented recommended operation, and transmits the generated control signal to the multi remote control 300 Do. On the other hand, the presentation unit 235 does not generate a control signal when the user does not approve the presented recommended operation. In addition, when there is only one operation terminal 100 existing in the home N, the presentation unit 235 performs this operation in response to an operation command from the operation terminal 100 connected to the local network formed in the home N. The recommended operation is presented to the terminal 100.

[Processing Procedure of Management Device 200]
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the management apparatus 200. This processing procedure starts when the generation unit 142 of the operation terminal 100 transmits an operation command to the management device 200. First, the command acquisition unit 231 receives an operation command by the communication unit 21 (S101). The number-of-terminals acquiring unit 232 obtains the number of operation terminals 100 present in a predetermined area among the plurality of operation terminals 100 (S102).

  The remote control signal instructing unit 233 controls the multi remote controller 300 to output a signal corresponding to the operation content instructed by the acquired operation command (S103). The determination unit 234 determines whether or not a recommended operation corresponding to a combination of the operation command acquired by the instruction acquisition unit 231 and the number of operation terminals 100 present in a predetermined area is stored in the storage unit 22 (see FIG. S104).

  If the recommended operation corresponding to the combination of the operation command acquired by the instruction acquisition unit 231 and the number of the operation terminals 100 present in the predetermined area is stored in the storage unit 22 (YES in S104) ), Read the corresponding recommended operation. The presentation unit 235 presents the recommended operation read by the determination unit 234 to the operation terminal 100 that has transmitted the operation command (S105). Further, the presentation unit 235 determines whether the user has approved the presented recommended operation (S106). When the user approves the presented recommended operation (YES in S106), the presentation unit 235 controls the multi-remote control 300 to output a signal corresponding to the presented recommended operation to the multi-remote control 300 (S107). Finish.

  In the determination of step S104, the presentation unit 235 does not store the recommended operation corresponding to the combination of the operation command acquired by the instruction acquisition unit 231 and the number of operation terminals 100 present in the predetermined area in the storage unit 22. In the case (NO in S104), the process ends without presenting the recommended operation. In addition, when the user does not approve the presented recommended operation in the determination of step S106 (NO in S106), the presentation unit 235 does not output the signal corresponding to the presented recommended operation to the multi remote controller 300. End the process.

[Effects of the Invention]
According to the present embodiment, when the operation command and the number of operation terminals 100 present in the predetermined area are a predetermined combination, the determination unit 234 is the same as the operation target device 400a that is the target of the operation command. Alternatively, a recommended operation for operating different operation target devices 400a and 400b is determined. By adopting such a configuration, determination unit 234 performs a predetermined combination of an operation command and the number of operation terminals 100 present in a predetermined area when operation target device 400a or 400b is operated by the operation command. An operation related to can be determined as a recommended operation. In addition, since the determination unit 234 determines the recommended operation according to the number of operation terminals 100 present in the predetermined area, it is not necessary to individually register the recommended operation for each user.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the determining unit 234 determines that the number of the operating terminals 100 obtained by the number-of-terminals acquiring unit 232 is zero or one, and the operation command supplies power to the operation target device 400a. When instructing to stop or decrease, it is determined as a recommended operation to stop or reduce the power supply to the other operation target device 400b. When the number of operation terminals 100 determined by the number-of-terminals acquisition unit 232 is 0 or 1, and the operation instruction instructs to stop or reduce the power supply to the operation target device 400a, the user goes out. It is likely to be inside or just before going out. Therefore, the determination unit 234 can determine a recommended operation for stopping or reducing the power supply of the other operation target device 400b for the purpose of reducing power consumption during absence.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, when the operation target device is the air conditioning control device, the air conditioning control device controls the indoor temperature according to the number of operation terminals 100 acquired by the terminal number acquisition unit 232. It is decided to change the target temperature as a recommended operation. For example, when the number of people in the predetermined area is large, it may be difficult for the air conditioning control device to be effective. Therefore, the determination unit 234 can determine to set a target temperature suitable for the number of people in the predetermined area as a recommended operation.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the number-of-terminals acquiring unit 232 is configured to have the terminal identification information associated with the same user identification information in the storage unit 22 as the number of the plurality of operation terminals. The number excluding the number of second and subsequent operation terminals 100 is obtained. By adopting such a configuration, even when the user owns two or more operation terminals 100, the number of users in the predetermined area can be specified with high accuracy.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the presentation unit 235 presents the recommended operation determined by the determination unit 234 to the operation terminal 100 that has transmitted the operation instruction has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the example presenting the recommended operation. For example, the presentation unit 235 may cause the multi remote control 300 to output a signal corresponding to the recommended operation determined by the determination unit 234 without presenting the recommended operation to the operation terminal 100.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using embodiment, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the range as described in the said embodiment. It is apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be added to the above embodiment.
