　携帯端末２０と室外機１１とがＮＦＣ通信可能になった状態で（Ｓ１の「YES」）、作業員Ｘが携帯端末２０Ｘの操作情報入力部２３から空気調和機１０の位置情報の設定を指示する操作を行うと、当該操作の情報が端末制御部２７の入力情報取得部２７２で取得される（Ｓ２の「YES」）。 With the mobile terminal 20 and the outdoor unit 11 capable of NFC communication (“YES” in S1), the worker X instructs the operation information input unit 23 of the mobile terminal 20X to set the position information of the air conditioner 10. When the operation is performed, the information of the operation is acquired by the input information acquisition unit 272 of the terminal control unit 27 (“YES” in S2).
　入力情報取得部２７２で位置情報の設定指示操作の情報が取得されると、端末情報処理部２７３は、ＧＰＳ情報取得部２７１にＧＰＳ信号による位置情報の取得を指示する（Ｓ３）。ＧＰＳ情報取得部２７１は、当該指示に対応してＧＰＳ受信部２２を起動させてＧＰＳ信号を受信させる。 When the input information acquisition unit 272 acquires the information of the position information setting instruction operation, the terminal information processing unit 273 instructs the GPS information acquisition unit 271 to acquire the position information by the GPS signal (S3). The GPS information acquisition unit 271 activates the GPS reception unit 22 in response to the instruction to receive a GPS signal.
　ここで、ＧＰＳ受信部２２でＧＰＳ信号が正常に受信され、当該ＧＰＳ信号に基づいて携帯端末２０Ｘの位置情報（緯度・経度情報）が取得された場合には（Ｓ４の「YES」）、当該位置情報がＧＰＳ情報取得部２７１で取得され、端末情報処理部２７３に送出される。 Here, when the GPS signal is normally received by the GPS receiving unit 22 and the position information (latitude / longitude information) of the mobile terminal 20X is acquired based on the GPS signal (“YES” in S4), the relevant The position information is acquired by the GPS information acquisition unit 271 and sent to the terminal information processing unit 273.
　端末情報処理部２７３は、位置情報を取得すると、当該位置情報に付加されている書誌情報に基づいて取得区分情報を設定する。ここでは、取得区分情報として、当該位置情報がＧＰＳ信号に基づいて取得されたことを示す情報が設定される。そして、取得した位置情報および取得区分情報を含む第１表示情報３００を表示部２６に表示させる（Ｓ５）。表示部２６に表示された第１表示情報３００の一例を、図５に示す。 When the terminal information processing unit 273 acquires the location information, the terminal information processing unit 273 sets the acquisition classification information based on the bibliographic information added to the location information. Here, as the acquisition classification information, information indicating that the position information has been acquired based on the GPS signal is set. Then, the first display information 300 including the acquired position information and the acquisition classification information is displayed on the display unit 26 (S5). FIG. 5 shows an example of the first display information 300 displayed on the display unit 26.
　図５に示す第１表示情報３００では、作業員Ｘが入力した建物名情報３０１として「ＡＢＣビル　No.1 East」が表示され、室外機１１から取得した室外機１１の機種名情報３０２として「MMY-MUP***」が表示され、シリアル番号３０３として「12345678」が表示され、ユニット番号３０４として「U1/12HP」が表示され、ＧＰＳ情報取得部２７１で取得された位置情報の緯度情報３０５として「35.149972」が表示され、経度情報３０６として「138.554495」が表示され、当該位置情報がＧＰＳ信号に基づいて取得されたことを示す取得区分情報３０７として「ＧＰＳ」が表示される。 In the first display information 300 shown in FIG. 5, "ABC building No. 1 East" is displayed as the building name information 301 input by the worker X, and "ABC building No. 1 East" is displayed as the model name information 302 of the outdoor unit 11 acquired from the outdoor unit 11.

"35.149972" is displayed, "138.554495" is displayed as the longitude information 306, and "GPS" is displayed as the acquisition category information 307 indicating that the position information has been acquired based on the GPS signal.
　また、表示部２６（表示画面）に表示された図５の第１表示情報３００には、「戻る」ボタン３０８、「保存」ボタン３０９、「送信」ボタン３１０、および「読出」ボタン３１１の情報が含まれている。「戻る」ボタン３０８は、携帯端末２０の表示部２６の表示を、当該第１表示情報３００の画面から１つ前の表示画面に戻すためのボタンである。「保存」ボタン３０９は、当該第１表示情報３００で表示されている位置情報を、端末記憶部２５に記憶させるためのボタンである。「送信」ボタン３１０は、当該第１表示情報３００で表示されている情報を、室外機１１に送信するためのボタンである。「読出」ボタン３１１は、室外機１１に記憶されている位置情報を読み出すためのボタンである。 Further, the first display information 300 of FIG. 5 displayed on the display unit 26 (display screen) includes information on the "back" button 308, the "save" button 309, the "send" button 310, and the "read" button 311. It is included. The "back" button 308 is a button for returning the display of the display unit 26 of the mobile terminal 20 to the previous display screen from the screen of the first display information 300. The "save" button 309 is a button for storing the position information displayed in the first display information 300 in the terminal storage unit 25. The "send" button 310 is a button for transmitting the information displayed in the first display information 300 to the outdoor unit 11. The "read" button 311 is a button for reading the position information stored in the outdoor unit 11.
　ここで、作業員Ｘにより「保存」ボタン３０９が操作されて位置情報の保存が指示されると（Ｓ６の「YES」）、端末情報処理部２７３は、取得した位置情報に、当該位置情報がＧＰＳ信号から取得した位置情報であることを示す取得区分情報としてフラグF=1を付加して、端末記憶部２５に記憶させる（Ｓ７）。 Here, when the "save" button 309 is operated by the worker X to instruct to save the position information ("YES" in S6), the terminal information processing unit 273 adds the position information to the acquired position information. Flag F = 1 is added as acquisition classification information indicating that it is position information acquired from a GPS signal, and the terminal storage unit 25 stores the information (S7).
　また、ステップＳ４においてＧＰＳ受信部２２でＧＰＳ信号が正常に受信されず、端末情報処理部２７３がＧＰＳ信号による位置情報を取得できなかったときには（Ｓ４の「NO」）、作業員Ｘに位置情報の入力を促す情報、例えば「位置情報が入手できませんでした。キーを使用して位置情報を入力して下さい。」等のメッセージ情報を表示部２６に出力させる。 Further, when the GPS signal is not normally received by the GPS receiving unit 22 in step S4 and the terminal information processing unit 273 cannot acquire the position information by the GPS signal (“NO” in S4), the position information is given to the worker X. Information prompting the input of, for example, message information such as "The location information could not be obtained. Please enter the location information using the key." Is output to the display unit 26.
　作業員Ｘは、表示部２６に表示されたメッセージ情報を確認し、ＧＰＳ信号を用いた位置情報取得手段以外の手段を用いて現在地の位置情報を取得して操作情報入力部２３から手動で入力する。ＧＰＳ信号を用いた位置情報取得手段以外の手段を用いて取得する位置情報とは例えば、緯度・経度情報が表示された地図情報から作業員Ｘが現在地の緯度・経度情報を読み取った位置情報等である。このようにして作業員Ｘが取得して手動で入力した位置情報は、ＧＰＳ信号を用いて取得された位置情報よりも精度が低い場合が多いが、大まかな位置は特定することができる。作業員Ｘの操作により入力された位置情報は入力情報取得部２７２で取得され、端末情報処理部２７３に送出される。 The worker X confirms the message information displayed on the display unit 26, acquires the position information of the current location by using a means other than the position information acquisition means using the GPS signal, and manually inputs the position information from the operation information input unit 23. do. The position information acquired by means other than the position information acquisition means using GPS signals is, for example, the position information in which the worker X reads the latitude / longitude information of the current location from the map information in which the latitude / longitude information is displayed. Is. The position information acquired by the worker X and manually input in this way is often less accurate than the position information acquired by using the GPS signal, but a rough position can be specified. The position information input by the operation of the worker X is acquired by the input information acquisition unit 272 and sent to the terminal information processing unit 273.
　端末情報処理部２７３は、作業員Ｘの操作により入力された位置情報を取得すると（Ｓ８の「YES」）、当該位置情報の書誌情報に基づいて取得区分情報を設定する。ここでは、取得区分情報として、当該位置情報が手動で入力されたことを示す情報が設定される。そして、取得した位置情報および取得区分情報を含む第２表示情報４００を表示部２６に表示させる（Ｓ９）。この場合に表示部２６（表示画面）に表示される第２表示情報４００の一例を、図６に示す。なお、作業員Ｘによって操作がなされない場合（Ｓ８の「NO」）には、そこで処理を終了する。 When the terminal information processing unit 273 acquires the position information input by the operation of the worker X (“YES” in S8), the terminal information processing unit 273 sets the acquisition classification information based on the bibliographic information of the position information. Here, as the acquisition category information, information indicating that the position information has been manually input is set. Then, the display unit 26 displays the second display information 400 including the acquired position information and the acquisition classification information (S9). FIG. 6 shows an example of the second display information 400 displayed on the display unit 26 (display screen) in this case. If the operation is not performed by the worker X (“NO” in S8), the process ends there.
　図６に示す第２表示情報４００では、建物名情報４０１「ＡＢＣビル　No.1 East」、室外機１１の機種名情報４０２「MMY-MUP***」、シリアル番号４０３「12345678」、ユニット番号４０４「U1/12HP」が表示されている。また、作業員Ｘが手動で入力した位置情報の緯度情報４０５として「35.1」が表示され、経度情報４０６として「138.6」が表示され、当該位置情報が作業員により手動で入力されたことを示す取得区分情報４０７として「手動」が表示されている。また、図５と同様に、第２表示情報４００には、「戻る」ボタン４０８、「保存」ボタン４０９、「送信」ボタン４１０、および「読出」ボタン４１１の情報が含まれている。 In the second display information 400 shown in FIG. 6, the building name information 401 “ABC building No. 1 East”, the model name information 402 “MMY-MUP ***” of the outdoor unit 11, the serial number 403 “12345678”, and the unit number 404 "U1 / 12HP" is displayed. Further, "35.1" is displayed as the latitude information 405 of the position information manually input by the worker X, and "138.6" is displayed as the longitude information 406, indicating that the position information has been manually input by the worker. "Manual" is displayed as the acquisition category information 407. Further, similarly to FIG. 5, the second display information 400 includes information of the “back” button 408, the “save” button 409, the “send” button 410, and the “read” button 411.
　ここで、作業員Ｘが「保存」ボタン４０９を操作して位置情報の保存を指示すると（Ｓ１０の「YES」）、端末情報処理部２７３は、取得した位置情報に、当該位置情報が作業員Ｘの操作により入力された位置情報であることを示す取得区分情報としてフラグF=0を付加して、端末記憶部２５に記憶させる（Ｓ１１）。 Here, when the worker X operates the "save" button 409 to instruct to save the position information ("YES" in S10), the terminal information processing unit 273 uses the acquired position information as the worker. Flag F = 0 is added as acquisition classification information indicating that the position information is input by the operation of X, and the terminal storage unit 25 stores the information (S11).
　次に、作業員Ｘが「送信」ボタン４１０を操作して位置情報の送信を指示すると（Ｓ１２の「YES」）、端末情報処理部２７３は、該当する位置情報を、端末アンテナ２１を介して空気調和機１０の室外機１１に送信する（Ｓ１３）。 Next, when the worker X operates the "send" button 410 to instruct the transmission of the position information ("YES" in S12), the terminal information processing unit 273 transmits the corresponding position information via the terminal antenna 21. It is transmitted to the outdoor unit 11 of the air conditioner 10 (S13).
　室外機１１では、携帯端末２０Ｘから送信された位置情報が室外機アンテナ１１１ａを介して受信され、ＮＦＣタグ１１１の情報入出力部１１１ｃにより不揮発性メモリ１１１ｂに記憶される。さらに、記憶された位置情報は、情報入出力部１１１ｃにより室外制御器１１２に送出され、制御部１１２ｄの制御により空気調和機１０の位置情報として室外記憶部１１２ｃに記憶される。 In the outdoor unit 11, the position information transmitted from the mobile terminal 20X is received via the outdoor unit antenna 111a, and is stored in the non-volatile memory 111b by the information input / output unit 111c of the NFC tag 111. Further, the stored position information is sent to the outdoor controller 112 by the information input / output unit 111c, and is stored in the outdoor storage unit 112c as the position information of the air conditioner 10 under the control of the control unit 112d.
　このように室外機１１に空気調和機１０の位置情報が記憶された後、当該空気調和機１０に訪れた他の作業員Ｙが、携帯端末２０Ｙで当該位置情報を読み出す際の動作について、図７のフローチャートを参照して説明する。なお、図７のフローチャートは、関連して動作する携帯端末２０と室外機１１それぞれの制御フローを並列して示している。 After the position information of the air conditioner 10 is stored in the outdoor unit 11 in this way, the operation when another worker Y who visits the air conditioner 10 reads out the position information with the mobile terminal 20Y is shown in FIG. This will be described with reference to the flowchart of 7. The flowchart of FIG. 7 shows the control flows of the mobile terminal 20 and the outdoor unit 11 that operate in connection with each other in parallel.
　作業員Ｙが携帯端末２０Ｙを室外機１１の室外機アンテナ１１１ａに近づけてＮＦＣ通信可能な状態にし（Ｓ２１の「YES」、Ｓ２２の「YES」）、携帯端末２０Ｙの操作情報入力部２３から空気調和機１０の位置情報の読み出しを指示する操作を行うと（Ｓ２３の「YES」）、入力情報取得部２７２で位置情報の読み出し要求操作の情報が取得される。端末情報処理部２７３は、この位置情報読み出し要求を、端末アンテナ２１を介して空気調和機１０の室外機１１に送信する（Ｓ２４）。なお、何らかの理由で携帯端末２０Ｙと室外機１１との間でＮＦＣ通信が出来なければ、処理を終了する（Ｓ２１の「NO」、Ｓ２２の「NO」）。また、携帯端末２０Ｙで位置情報の読み出しを要求する操作が行われなければ（Ｓ２３の「NO」）、処理を終了する。 Worker Y brings the mobile terminal 20Y close to the outdoor unit antenna 111a of the outdoor unit 11 so that NFC communication is possible (“YES” in S21, “YES” in S22), and air from the operation information input unit 23 of the mobile terminal 20Y. When the operation for instructing the reading of the position information of the harmonizer 10 is performed (“YES” in S23), the input information acquisition unit 272 acquires the information of the position information read request operation. The terminal information processing unit 273 transmits this position information reading request to the outdoor unit 11 of the air conditioner 10 via the terminal antenna 21 (S24). If NFC communication cannot be performed between the mobile terminal 20Y and the outdoor unit 11 for some reason, the process ends (“NO” in S21, “NO” in S22). Further, if the operation for requesting the reading of the position information is not performed on the mobile terminal 20Y (“NO” in S23), the process ends.
　室外機１１では、携帯端末２０Ｙから送信された位置情報読み出し要求が室外機アンテナ１１１ａを介して受信され、室外機情報処理部１１３に送出される。室外機情報処理部１１３は、取得した位置情報読み出し要求に応じて室外記憶部１１２ｃから空気調和機１０の位置情報を読み出し、ＮＦＣタグ１１１の室外機アンテナ１１１ａを介して携帯端末２０Ｙに送信する（Ｓ２５）。 In the outdoor unit 11, the position information reading request transmitted from the mobile terminal 20Y is received via the outdoor unit antenna 111a and sent to the outdoor unit information processing unit 113. The outdoor unit information processing unit 113 reads out the position information of the air conditioner 10 from the outdoor storage unit 112c in response to the acquired position information reading request, and transmits the position information to the mobile terminal 20Y via the outdoor unit antenna 111a of the NFC tag 111 ( S25).
　携帯端末２０Ｙでは、室外機１１から送信された空気調和機１０の位置情報が端末アンテナ２１を介して受信され、端末情報処理部２７３により端末記憶部２５に記憶されるとともに、当該位置情報に付加されたフラグFが1であれば図５と同様の第１表示情報３００が表示部２６に表示され、フラグFが0であれば図６と同様の第２表示情報４００が表示される（Ｓ２６）。 In the mobile terminal 20Y, the position information of the air conditioner 10 transmitted from the outdoor unit 11 is received via the terminal antenna 21, stored in the terminal storage unit 25 by the terminal information processing unit 273, and added to the position information. If the flag F is 1, the first display information 300 similar to that in FIG. 5 is displayed on the display unit 26, and if the flag F is 0, the second display information 400 similar to that in FIG. 6 is displayed (S26). ).
　ここで、表示部２６に表示された情報が第２表示情報４００の場合、作業員Ｙが当該位置情報は手動で入力されているため精度が低い可能性があると判断し、再度、ＧＰＳ信号を用いた位置情報を取得して室外機１１に記憶された位置情報を更新する処理を実行する。 Here, when the information displayed on the display unit 26 is the second display information 400, the worker Y determines that the accuracy may be low because the position information is manually input, and again, the GPS signal is signaled. The process of acquiring the position information using the above and updating the position information stored in the outdoor unit 11 is executed.
　作業員Ｙが、室外機１１に記憶された位置情報を更新するために、携帯端末２０Ｙの操作情報入力部２３から空気調和機１０の位置情報の設定を指示する操作を行うと、当該操作の情報が端末制御部２７の入力情報取得部２７２で取得される（Ｓ２７の「YES」）。以降、ステップＳ２８～Ｓ３５で実行される処理は、上述したステップＳ３～Ｓ７、Ｓ１２、Ｓ１３の処理と同様であるため、詳細な説明は省略する。 When the worker Y performs an operation instructing the setting of the position information of the air conditioner 10 from the operation information input unit 23 of the mobile terminal 20Y in order to update the position information stored in the outdoor unit 11, the operation is performed. Information is acquired by the input information acquisition unit 272 of the terminal control unit 27 (“YES” in S27). Hereinafter, the processes executed in steps S28 to S35 are the same as the processes of steps S3 to S7, S12, and S13 described above, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.
　このようにしてＧＰＳ信号を用いた位置情報で室外機１１に記憶された手動で入力された位置情報を更新することで、以降に当該空気調和機１０に他の作業員が訪れたときに、空気調和機１０から精度の高い位置情報を取得することができる。 By updating the manually input position information stored in the outdoor unit 11 with the position information using the GPS signal in this way, when another worker subsequently visits the air conditioner 10. Highly accurate position information can be acquired from the air conditioner 10.
　なお、ステップＳ２９において、ＧＰＳ信号による位置情報が取得できなかった場合には（Ｓ２９の「NO」）、位置情報の更新処理は実行せず、ステップＳ２１に戻る。また、既に空気調和機が保存している位置情報がＧＰＳ信号に基づいて取得された情報である場合には、作業者は位置情報設定指示操作を行わず（Ｓ２７は「NO」）、設置位置確認の処理を終了する。 If the position information by the GPS signal could not be acquired in step S29 (“NO” in S29), the position information update process is not executed and the process returns to step S21. Further, when the position information already stored in the air conditioner is the information acquired based on the GPS signal, the operator does not perform the position information setting instruction operation (S27 is "NO") and the installation position. End the confirmation process.
　上述した実施形態において、ステップＳ４の「YES」、またはステップＳ２９の「YES」で端末情報処理部２７３が位置情報を取得した際に、ＧＰＳ信号に基づき携帯端末２０で作成される、取得した位置情報の信頼度を示す当該ＧＰＳ信号の信頼度情報を、取得区分情報に用いてもよい。ＧＰＳ信号の信頼度情報は、既存の技術によりＧＰＳ信号に付加される情報である。一方、ステップＳ８（「YES」）で取得された手動入力による位置情報は、このような信頼度情報を含んでいない。 In the above-described embodiment, when the terminal information processing unit 273 acquires the position information in "YES" in step S4 or "YES" in step S29, the acquired position created by the mobile terminal 20 based on the GPS signal. The reliability information of the GPS signal indicating the reliability of the information may be used as the acquisition classification information. The reliability information of the GPS signal is information added to the GPS signal by the existing technology. On the other hand, the manually input position information acquired in step S8 (“YES”) does not include such reliability information.
　この場合、端末情報処理部２７３は、取得した位置情報に信頼度情報が付加されていれば当該位置情報はＧＰＳ信号により取得されたものであると判断し、信頼度情報が付加されていなければ、作業員により手動で入力された位置情報であると判断する。 In this case, the terminal information processing unit 273 determines that the position information is acquired by the GPS signal if the reliability information is added to the acquired position information, and if the reliability information is not added, the terminal information processing unit 273 determines that the position information is acquired by the GPS signal. , Judge that the location information is manually entered by the worker.
　また、端末情報処理部２７３が地図情報を有し、取得した空気調和機１０の位置情報を、当該位置情報に付加された取得区分情報ごとに区別した表示形式で当該地図情報上に示した表示情報を生成して表示部２６に表示させるようにしてもよい。 Further, the terminal information processing unit 273 has map information, and the acquired position information of the air conditioner 10 is displayed on the map information in a display format that is distinguished for each acquisition category information added to the position information. Information may be generated and displayed on the display unit 26.
　例えば、端末情報処理部２７３は、当該位置情報の取得区分情報が「ＧＰＳ」である場合には、図８に示すように、地図情報Ｍ上に、当該位置情報の位置Ｐ1を中心とし、信頼度情報が低い程大きい円Ｓ1を表示させる。また、端末情報処理部２７３は、当該位置情報の取得区分情報が「手動」である場合には、図９に示すように、地図情報Ｍ上に、当該位置情報の位置Ｐ2を中心とした１点を表示させる。作業員は、この地図情報Ｍ上の表示内容を元に保存されている位置情報が「ＧＰＳ」であるか「手動」であるかを判別することもできる。 For example, when the acquisition classification information of the position information is "GPS", the terminal information processing unit 273 trusts the position P1 of the position information on the map information M as shown in FIG. The lower the degree information, the larger the circle S1 is displayed. Further, when the acquisition classification information of the position information is "manual", the terminal information processing unit 273 centers on the position P2 of the position information on the map information M as shown in FIG. Display the dots. The worker can also determine whether the position information stored based on the display content on the map information M is "GPS" or "manual".
　また上述した実施形態において、携帯端末２０Ｘ、２０Ｙに記憶された空気調和機１０の位置情報を、作業員Ｘ、Ｙの操作によりネットワーク通信部２４から広域ネットワークを介して他の作業員の携帯端末に送信してもよい。このように情報を送信することで、空気調和機１０の場所に行く前の作業員に対しても、空気調和機１０の位置情報を提供することができる。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, the position information of the air conditioner 10 stored in the mobile terminals 20X and 20Y is transmitted from the network communication unit 24 to the mobile terminals of other workers via the wide area network by the operations of the workers X and Y. May be sent to. By transmitting the information in this way, the position information of the air conditioner 10 can be provided to the worker before going to the place of the air conditioner 10.
　以上の実施形態によれば、空気調和機の設置位置でＧＰＳ情報を受信できない場合も、当該空気調和機の位置情報を入力させ保存させることができる。また、記憶した空気調和機の位置情報の精度が低い場合に、精度の高い情報に更新することができる。このようにして取得した空気調和機の位置情報を作業員が携帯する携帯端末で読み取ることで、当該作業員は以降の保守点検の際に、取得した位置情報を利用して容易に当該空気調和機の場所に向かうことができる。 According to the above embodiment, even when GPS information cannot be received at the installation position of the air conditioner, the position information of the air conditioner can be input and stored. Further, when the accuracy of the stored position information of the air conditioner is low, the information can be updated with high accuracy. By reading the position information of the air conditioner acquired in this way with a mobile terminal carried by the worker, the worker can easily use the acquired position information for the subsequent maintenance and inspection. You can head to the location of the aircraft.
　なお、上述した実施形態では、室外機１１は、携帯端末２０から入手した位置情報を室外記憶部１１２ｃに記憶させるようにしたが、ＮＦＣタグ１１１の不揮発性メモリ１１１ｂにのみ記憶させ、携帯端末２０からの位置情報の読み出し要求に対しては、この不揮発性メモリ１１１ｂに記憶されている位置情報を制御部１１２ｄが第1通信部１１２ａ、情報入出力部１１１ｃを介して読み出して携帯端末２０に送信するようにしても良い。 In the above-described embodiment, the outdoor unit 11 stores the position information obtained from the mobile terminal 20 in the outdoor storage unit 112c, but stores it only in the non-volatile memory 111b of the NFC tag 111, and stores the position information only in the non-volatile memory 111b of the NFC tag 111. In response to the request for reading the position information from, the control unit 112d reads the position information stored in the non-volatile memory 111b via the first communication unit 112a and the information input / output unit 111c and transmits the position information to the mobile terminal 20. You may try to do it.
　本発明の実施形態を説明したが、この実施形態は、例として提示したものであり、発明の範囲を限定することは意図していない。この新規な実施形態は、その他の様々な形態で実施されることが可能であり、発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲で、種々の省略、置き換え、変更を行うことができる。この実施形態やその変形は、発明の範囲や要旨に含まれるとともに、特許請求の範囲に記載された発明とその均等の範囲に含まれる。 Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described, this embodiment is presented as an example and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. This novel embodiment can be implemented in various other embodiments, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention.
