Detailed Description
< embodiment >
The embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
The configuration of the air conditioning system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
An air conditioning system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for controlling air conditioning at a position by acquiring information of the position in a map in which an indoor unit for air conditioning designated by a user is installed.
As shown in fig. 1, the air conditioning system 1 includes an indoor air conditioning unit 10, an environment setting terminal 20, and an air conditioning control device 30.
The air conditioning indoor unit 10 sends air to a position designated by a user.
The environment setting terminal 20 transmits user setting information in which a position specified by a user on an indoor map in which the air conditioning indoor unit 10 is installed is associated with the requested environment setting to the air conditioning control device 30.
Here, the map of the room in which the air conditioning indoor unit 10 is installed is a map obtained by dividing the room in which the air conditioning indoor unit 10 is installed into 31 areas and overlooking the room, as shown in fig. 2, for example. Each area is labeled with area numbers 1-31, and determining an area number means determining an indoor position. Each region may be specified by coordinates as shown in fig. 3 instead of the region number. The coordinates may be, for example, the coordinates of the center of each region, or the coordinates of a predetermined position of each region (for example, the lower left position of each region in fig. 3). Fig. 3 shows an example of coordinates corresponding to the area number 12 shown in fig. 2, and coordinates corresponding to area numbers other than the area number 12 are omitted in fig. 3.
The requested environment setting is a set value of the environment requested by the user at the position designated by the user, and is a set value including at least the temperature and the air volume at the position designated by the user.
The air conditioning control device 30 controls the air conditioning indoor unit 10 based on the user setting information. Specifically, the air-conditioning control device 30 receives user setting information from the environment setting terminal 20, specifies a control signal for realizing set values of the temperature and the air volume indicated by the requested environment setting for the position specified by the user included in the received user setting information, and transmits the specified control signal to the air-conditioning indoor unit 10, thereby controlling the air-conditioning indoor unit 10. The control signal for realizing the set values of the temperature and the air volume indicated by the required environment setting is obtained in advance by simulation, experiment, or the like, for example, and is stored in the storage unit.
As shown in fig. 4, the indoor unit 10 for air conditioning includes a communication unit 101 and an air blowing mechanism 102.
Communication unit 101 communicates with air conditioning control device 30. Communication unit 101 receives a control signal for realizing a set value indicated by a request environment setting from air conditioning control device 30.
The air blowing mechanism 102 blows air at a temperature, an air volume, an air direction, and the like corresponding to the control signal received by the communication unit 101.
As shown in fig. 5, the environment setting terminal 20 includes a map information acquisition unit 201, a display unit 202 (an example of a map display unit), an input unit 203 (an example of a position input unit and an example of an environment input unit), a storage unit 204, and a communication unit 205 (an example of a transmission unit). The environment setting terminal 20 is, for example, a smartphone.
The map information acquisition unit 201 acquires information indicating an indoor map in which the indoor air conditioning indoor unit 10 is installed.
Specifically, the map information acquisition unit 201 acquires information indicating a map while a person having the environment setting terminal 20 moves in the room where the indoor air conditioning unit 10 is installed.
For example, when the indoor unit 10 for air conditioning is installed indoors, the installation clerk holds the environment setting terminal 20 and moves along a wall indoors as shown in fig. 6. While the installation clerk is moving indoors, the map information acquisition unit 201 calculates the moving direction and the moving distance based on sensor information such as an acceleration sensor and a gyro sensor, and acquires the shape of the room. The moving direction and the moving distance calculated by the map information acquisition unit 201 based on the information of the acceleration sensor, the gyro sensor, and the like may be calculated by using a technique of autonomous navigation in which the vehicle navigation system estimates the moving direction and the moving distance of the vehicle using the information of the acceleration sensor, the gyro sensor, and the like, for example, when the function of the gps (global Positioning system) is not available. The map information acquisition unit 201 divides the acquired room into a plurality of areas. The map information acquisition unit 201 then adds the position of the air outlet of the indoor air conditioning unit 10 to the map by inputting the position information, for example, by installing a clerk, a user, or the like.
For example, the map information acquisition unit 201 may acquire information indicating a map of the room in which the air conditioning indoor unit 10 is installed by the following method. Three or more microphones are provided in different positions in the ceiling of a room, respectively, so that the positions can be determined. When the indoor unit 10 for air conditioning is installed indoors, the installation clerk holds the environment setting terminal 20 and moves along a wall (in the direction of the arrow shown in fig. 6) indoors as shown in fig. 6. The environment setting terminal 20 outputs ultrasonic waves while the installation clerk moves indoors. The map generation device, not shown, calculates the position of the environment setting terminal 20 that has output the ultrasonic wave based on the time difference between the reception of the ultrasonic wave from the environment setting terminal 20 by each microphone and the position of each microphone, acquires the shape of the room, and divides the room in the acquired shape into a plurality of areas to generate a map. The map generation device, not shown, adds the position of the air outlet of the indoor air conditioning unit 10 to a map by inputting position information, for example, by installing a clerk, a user, or the like. The map information acquisition unit 201 acquires a map from a map generation device not shown.
For example, the map information acquisition unit 201 may acquire information indicating the map from layout information or CAD (Computer-Aided Design) information of the room in which the indoor unit 10 for air conditioning is installed. Specifically, the map information acquisition unit 201 has a scanner function, and reads a drawing representing an indoor layout by the scanner function. Alternatively, the map information acquisition unit 201 has a camera function, and a picture representing the indoor layout is captured by the camera function. The drawing representing the layout includes a handwritten drawing. The user can input an instruction to correct the handwritten layout into a straight line or a curved line with respect to the outline of the handwritten layout to the map information acquiring unit 201.
The straight line or the curve may be generated using, for example, a bezier curve, a spline curve, a broken line passing through control points, or the like, which are used in computer graphics or the like. As an example, fig. 7 shows an image of an image processing method for obtaining control points to which functions representing straight lines or curved lines generated as described above are applied. The portion of (1) of fig. 7 is taken as an original image. An image obtained by scanning an original image is subjected to binarization processing (part (2) in fig. 7), and contour lines are extracted. The coordinates of the control points are acquired at appropriate intervals (or not at equal intervals) along the contour line (the part of fig. 7 (3)). The control points are interpolated using bezier curves, spline curves, broken lines, or the like (part (4) of fig. 7). The starting point and the end point are aligned so as to form a closed curve.
As shown in fig. 8, the influence of noise may be reduced by taking a moving average of coordinates along a curve.
In the case of using the above function, for example, the user can set the number of times of the function by inputting a numerical value as a user interface. In addition, for example, a "thick" button and a "thin" button are prepared. When the user reproduces a curve in accordance with the number of times the "thick" button is pressed, a curve thicker than that of the original image is displayed by increasing the unit pixel number of pixels responsible for the display of the portion of the curve. When the user reproduces a curve in accordance with the number of times the "thin" button is pressed, a curve thinner than the curve of the original image is displayed by reducing the number of unit pixels of pixels in a portion in charge of the curve. In this way, it is possible to adjust whether to display a curve of the original image roughly or to display a curve of the original image faithfully. In addition, the display may also be capable of previewing.
When an instruction of a user to correct the outline of the handwritten layout to a straight line or a curved line is input, the map information acquisition unit 201 corrects the outline of the layout in accordance with the input instruction. The map information acquisition unit 201 writes the layout read by the scanner function or the layout photographed by the camera function as a map in the storage unit 204, for example. Further, the user inputs the height information of the space in the room and the information indicating the positions of the doors, windows, obstacles, and the like to the map information acquisition unit 201 by an operation of inputting coordinates or an operation instructed on the display screen of the display unit 202. Thus, the map information acquisition unit 201 acquires a map having height information of the space in the room and information indicating the positions of doors, windows, obstacles, and the like. The height information of the indoor space and the information indicating the positions of the doors, windows, obstacles, and the like are used for air conditioning control by the air conditioning control device 30 at the position designated by the user.
When the wall of the room is a plane, that is, when the shape of the room is viewed overhead, the map information acquisition unit 201 may specify the shape of the room based on only the position information at each corner of the room and acquire the generated map.
The size of one region may be any size. For example, the size of a region may be predetermined. For example, the size of one area may be determined by preparing a plurality of candidates in advance and selecting the candidate from the plurality of candidates by the map creator each time the map is generated. For example, the size of one area may be determined as follows, and a numerical value (for example, a vertical length and a horizontal length in the case where the area is a square) for specifying the size of the area may be specified by a map creator each time the map is generated. When the size of one region is set to the region occupied by one person, since there is a low possibility that a plurality of persons exist in the same region, each user can always set the request environment setting in accordance with the setting value preferred by the user.
In addition, the shape of one region may be any shape including a hexagonal or triangular lattice shape, for example, in addition to a quadrangular shape.
When the room is wide or the grid is thin, the user may zoom in/out by performing a zoom-in/zoom-out operation on the screen of the display unit 202, or the user may scroll by performing a flick or slide operation. In this way, the user can perform operations such as zoom-in/zoom-out and scrolling on the screen of the display unit 202, thereby reducing the number of times of erroneous operations by the user.
Note that only one map common to the environment setting terminals 20 is present, and when a new map is created, the map that has been present so far is overwritten. When the location designated by the user is the user's own location, for example, the map indicating each room visited by the user in the past may be written in the storage unit 204 in association with the indoor location information and the user's identification information, and the location information may be specified to read the user's identification information and the map associated with the location information from the storage unit 204. For example, the position information indicating the current position of the user can be acquired by a gps (global positioning system). Further, the position information for specifying the map of the room where the user is currently located may be acquired as the position of the room where the transmitter is installed, for example, when the transmitter (receiver) installed in the room receives a signal from the wireless tag or each environment setting terminal 20. Further, the entry card storing the identification information of the user may be presented to a card reader installed at an entrance in the room, and the position information of the user may be acquired as the position in the room where the card reader is installed. Alternatively, the entrance door may be used instead of the card reader, or the user may be located by registering a personal computer and the location information may be acquired.
The display unit 202 displays a map of the room in which the indoor unit 10 for air conditioning is installed. For example, as shown in fig. 9, a map showing the shape of the room, the areas dividing the room, and the air-conditioning indoor unit 10 in the room is displayed (two air outlets F in the example shown in fig. 9). For example, as shown in fig. 9, the display unit 202 shows the setting values (temperature and air volume in the example shown in fig. 9) of the requested environment setting specified by the user. In addition, the display unit 202 may scroll the map being generated by the map generating device in accordance with the movement of the installation clerk during the movement of the installation clerk indoors, and the display unit 202 may adjust the map to an appropriate scale, or the user may manually adjust the map to an appropriate scale.
The display unit 202 may display an obstacle, a door, a window, a table, a sofa, a wardrobe, a rack, a copier, and the like on the screen in addition to the air outlet. For example, schematic diagrams showing components such as an obstacle, a door, a window, a table, a sofa, a wardrobe, a rack, and a copier are prepared in advance outside the map area of the screen, and the user drags and drops the schematic diagrams on the map on the screen of the display unit 202 to specify the arrangement. The display unit 202 displays these components on the map according to the designation. The size and shape of the component can be selected or input from other setting menus, or can be adjusted by a reduction/enlargement operation. The information of the map on which these components are arranged may be used for air conditioning control of air conditioning control device 30 at a position designated by the user. In this case, the air conditioning control of the air conditioning control device 30 at the position designated by the user can be performed in consideration of the ease of heat transfer.
The input unit 203 receives an input of a position designated by a user on a map, that is, a position to be air-conditioned on the map (for example, a position designated by the user). For example, the user inputs a number of an area to be air-conditioned by a cursor on the map displayed on the display unit 202. For example, the user presses a button for inputting the coordinates of the designated area on the map displayed on the display unit 202 to input a value to be set. The input unit 203 receives a signal indicating a region designated by a user's operation.
The input unit 203 receives an input of a request environment setting including at least a temperature and an air volume specified by a user operation. The input unit 203 writes the received request environment setting in the storage unit 204.
The storage unit 204 stores the request environment setting of the user.
The communication unit 205 transmits user setting information in which the position designated by the user in the map of the room in which the indoor unit for air conditioning 10 is installed, which is received by the input unit 203, is associated with the required environment setting to the air conditioning control device 30.
As shown in fig. 10, the air conditioning control device 30 includes a communication unit 301 and a control unit 302.
The communication unit 301 communicates with the environment setting terminal 20. Specifically, the communication unit 301 receives, from the environment setting terminal 20, user setting information in which a position specified by a user on an indoor map in which the air conditioning indoor unit 10 is installed is associated with the requested environment setting.
The communication unit 301 communicates with the indoor air conditioning unit 10. Specifically, the communication unit 301 transmits a control signal for realizing a set value indicated by the required environment setting received from the environment setting terminal 20 to the indoor air conditioning unit 10.
The control unit 302 controls the temperature, the air volume, the wind direction, and the like of the wind sent out by the indoor air conditioning unit 10. Specifically, the control unit 302 generates a control signal for realizing a setting value indicated by the request environment setting received by the communication unit 301 from the environment setting terminal 20. The control unit 302 transmits the generated control signal to the air conditioning indoor unit 10 via the communication unit 301.
Next, a process of the air conditioning system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
Here, a process flow of the environment setting terminal 20 shown in fig. 11 will be described.
The map information acquisition unit 201 acquires information indicating an indoor map in which the indoor unit for air conditioning 10 is installed (step S1).
The map information acquisition unit 201 outputs information indicating the acquired map to the display unit 202.
The display unit 202 receives information indicating a map from the map information acquisition unit 201.
The display unit 202 displays the map of the room in which the indoor unit 10 for air conditioning is installed, based on the map information received from the map information acquisition unit 201 (step S2).
For example, as shown in fig. 9, a map showing the shape of the room, the areas dividing the room, and the air-conditioning indoor unit 10 in the room (two air outlets F in the example shown in fig. 9) is displayed. For example, as shown in fig. 9, the display unit 202 indicates setting values (temperature and air volume in the example shown in fig. 9) for the environment setting request designated by the user.
The user views the display on the display unit 202 and operates the environment setting terminal 20 to specify a position on the map.
The input unit 203 receives an input of a position designated by the user on the map, that is, a position on the map at which the user wants to perform air conditioning setting, in accordance with an operation of the environment setting terminal 20 by the user (step S3).
Specifically, the user inputs the number of the area to be air-conditioned by designating the number of the area with a cursor on the map displayed on the display unit 202. For example, the user presses a button for inputting the coordinates of the designated area on the map displayed on the display unit 202 to input a value to be set. The input unit 203 receives a signal indicating an area designated by a user's operation.
The user sets a setting value for specifying a requested environment setting including at least the temperature and the air volume at a specified position in the environment setting terminal 20.
The input unit 203 receives an input of a request environment setting including at least a designated temperature and an air volume in accordance with an operation of the environment setting terminal 20 by the user (step S4). The input unit 203 writes the received request environment setting in the storage unit 204 (step S5).
The storage unit 204 stores the request environment setting of the user.
When the input unit 203 receives both the input of the position and the input of the requested environment setting, the communication unit 205 transmits user setting information in which the position received by the input unit 203 is associated with the requested environment setting to the air-conditioning control device 30 (step S6).
The communication unit 301 receives, from the environment setting terminal 20, user setting information in which a position specified by a user on an indoor map in which the indoor air conditioning indoor unit 10 is installed is associated with a requested environment setting.
The control unit 302 generates a control signal for realizing the setting value indicated by the request environment setting received by the communication unit 301 from the environment setting terminal 20. The control unit 302 transmits the generated control signal to the indoor air conditioning unit 10 via the communication unit 301.
Communication unit 101 receives a control signal for realizing a set value indicated by a request environment setting from air conditioning control device 30.
The air blowing mechanism 102 generates air such as temperature, air volume, wind direction, and the like corresponding to the control signal received by the communication unit 101, and blows the air.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the position of the user on the map may be specified by tapping or clicking a screen on an application or a web page displayed on the display unit 202. In another embodiment of the present invention, the position of the user on the map may be specified by inputting an area number and coordinates assigned to the specified area from a keyboard.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the map may be generated using a position estimated based on a signal used for communication of Bluetooth (registered trademark) by the environment setting terminal 20 or another terminal. For example, a base station may be installed indoors, and when the base station receives a signal from the environment setting terminal 20 or another terminal, the base station may determine that the user is within a certain distance from the base station, and set the position of the base station as the position of the user. For example, a plurality of base stations may be installed indoors, and the position designated by the user may be calculated as a position on a certain line if two base stations are provided, or as a position following the principle of three-point measurement if three or more base stations are provided, for example, according to the difference in the radio wave intensity of the signal received by each base station from the environment setting terminal 20 or another terminal.
The air conditioning system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is explained above.
In the air conditioning system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the environment setting terminal 20 is an environment setting terminal of an air conditioning control device that controls the indoor unit 10 for air conditioning in accordance with a requested environment setting requested by a user.

In this way, since the environment setting terminal 20 includes the display unit 202, the user can easily specify an arbitrary position in the room while viewing the map displayed on the display unit 202.
In the air conditioning system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the environment setting terminal 20 includes a map information acquisition unit 201. The map information acquisition unit 201 acquires information indicating an indoor map in which the indoor air conditioning indoor unit 10 is installed.
In this way, since the environment setting terminal 20 includes the map information acquisition unit 201, it is possible to easily acquire information indicating a map to be viewed by a user.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the environment setting terminal 20 is provided for each area in an indoor map in which the indoor unit 10 for air conditioning is installed, and the environment setting terminal 20 associates the area with the location. The user transmits user setting information to air-conditioning control device 30 from environment setting terminal 20 associated with the area in the map to be subjected to air-conditioning setting.
In this way, by transmitting the user setting information from the environment setting terminal 20 associated with the location to be subjected to the air conditioning setting to the air conditioning control device 30, the user can reliably specify the area to be subjected to the air conditioning setting on the map.
The display unit 202 according to another embodiment of the present invention may display a map as a three-dimensional stereoscopic space instead of displaying the map as a two-dimensional plane. In this case, the position designated by the user may be a position in a three-dimensional stereoscopic space. Further, air-conditioning control device 30 may control air-conditioning at a position in a three-dimensional stereoscopic space designated by a user.
In the processing according to the embodiment of the present invention, the order of the processing may be changed as long as appropriate processing can be performed.
Each storage unit and storage device (including registers and latches) according to the embodiments of the present invention can be provided at any position within a range where appropriate information is transmitted and received. In addition, a plurality of storage units and storage devices may be provided in a range where appropriate information is transmitted and received, and data may be stored in a distributed manner.
Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described, the indoor air conditioning unit 10, the environment setting terminal 20, the air conditioning control device 30, and other control devices described above may have a computer system therein. The process of the above-described processing is stored in a computer-readable recording medium in the form of a program, and the program is read and executed by a computer to perform the processing. Specific examples of the computer are as follows.
Fig. 12 is a schematic block diagram showing a configuration of a computer according to at least one embodiment.
As shown in fig. 12, the computer 5 includes a CPU6, a main memory 7, a storage 8, and an interface 9.
For example, the indoor air conditioning unit 10, the environment setting terminal 20, the air conditioning control device 30, and other control devices are mounted on the computer 5. The operations of the processing units are stored in the memory 8 as programs. The CPU6 reads the program from the storage 8 and expands the program in the main memory 7, and executes the above-described processing in accordance with the program. The CPU6 also secures a storage area corresponding to each storage unit in the main memory 7 according to the program.
Examples of the storage 8 include an HDD (hard Disk drive), an SSD (solid State drive), a magnetic Disk, a magneto-optical Disk, a CD-ROM (compact Disk Read Only memory), a DVD-ROM (digital versatile Disk Read Only memory), and a semiconductor memory. The storage 8 may be an internal medium directly connected to the bus of the computer 5, or may be an external medium connected to the computer 5 via the interface 9 or a communication line. When the program is distributed to the computer 5 via the communication line, the computer 5 that has received the distribution may expand the program in the main memory 7 and execute the above-described processing. In at least one embodiment, the storage 8 is a non-transitory tangible storage medium.
The program may implement a part of the above-described functions. The program may be a file that can realize the above-described functions by combining with a program already recorded in a computer system, a so-called differential file (differential program).
While several embodiments of the present invention have been described, the above embodiments are examples and do not limit the scope of the present invention. The above-described embodiments may be variously added, omitted, replaced, and modified without departing from the scope of the invention.
