Detailed Description
[ embodiment 1]
A first embodiment (embodiment 1) will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 6. In the drawings, the same or equivalent elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description thereof is omitted.
(outline of Server 100)
Fig. 1 is a system configuration diagram showing an example of the configuration of a home appliance system 120 and an example of the configuration of an information processing system 121.
As illustrated in fig. 1, the home appliance system 120 may be a system including the server 100 and the air conditioners (home appliances) 105, or may be a system configured only with the server 100 (a system included in the server 100). In the latter case, the server 100 operates as the home appliance system 120 to control the external air conditioner 105.
The information processing system 121 may be, for example, a system in which a smartphone (user terminal) 110a is added to the home appliance system 120. In addition, as illustrated in fig. 1, the information processing system 121 may further include a notebook PC (user terminal) 110 b. That is, the number of user terminals included in the information processing system 121 may be 1 or more.
The air conditioner 105 is a home appliance having a humidity adjustment function for adjusting humidity such as humidification and dehumidification. Although the air conditioner 105 is described as an example of a home appliance in the present embodiment, the type of the air conditioner is not limited to the above-described humidity adjustment function (for example, the home appliance may be a humidifier, an air cleaner, an air conditioner, or the like).
In a conventional air conditioner, it is determined whether or not a person is present based on a measurement value from a sensor included in the air conditioner, and the air conditioner is operated with operation contents according to the determination result. In this case, the air conditioner cannot determine whether or not a person is present based on only the measurement value from the sensor, and may not operate with appropriate operation contents.
Therefore, the server 100 acquires the installation position of the air conditioner 105, determines the use condition using the measurement value from at least one sensor included in the air conditioner 105 based on the installation position and the operation time at which the air conditioner 105 is operated, and operates the air conditioner 105 based on the operation content of the installation position and the determination result obtained from the measurement value corresponding to the use condition.
Thus, the server 100 can determine which sensor measurement value is used to determine whether a person is present or not, for example, based on the installation location and the operation time, and determine appropriate operation contents according to the installation location and the determination result of whether a person is present or not. That is, the server 100 can determine an appropriate use method of the sensor included in the air conditioner 105 based on the installation position and the operation time, and has an effect of determining appropriate operation contents according to the use method.
The air conditioner 105 may determine a use condition using a measurement value from at least one sensor based on the installation position and the operation time, determine an operation content based on the installation position and a determination result obtained from the measurement value obtained based on the use condition, and operate with the operation content.
Accordingly, even when the air conditioner 105 is not connected to the server 100, it is possible to determine an appropriate use method of the sensor based on the installation position and the operation time, and an effect is obtained that the air conditioner operates with appropriate operation contents according to the use method.
(construction of the Server 100)
Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of a main component configuration of the server. As illustrated in fig. 2, the server 100 may include, for example, a communication unit 201, a storage unit 202, and a control unit 210. The control unit 210 may include, for example, an installation position acquisition unit 211, an operation time acquisition unit 212, a measurement value acquisition unit 213, a condition determination unit 214, a measurement value selection unit 215, a reflection degree determination unit 216, a determination unit 217, an operation determination unit 218, a home appliance control unit 219, an operation information acquisition unit 220, a learning unit 221, and a sound output control unit 222.
The control unit 210 has a function of collectively controlling various functions of the server 100, and is realized by a controller (processor) such as a cpu (central Processing unit), for example.
The communication unit 201 transmits and receives various data to and from the air conditioner 105 and a user terminal (for example, the smartphone 110a or the notebook PC110b) via a network. The communication unit 201 may be, for example, hardware that can communicate with the outside via a network according to a predetermined communication method. The communication line, communication method, communication medium, and the like are not limited as long as they have an essential function of realizing communication with an external device.
The receiving unit 201a may receive various information from the air conditioner 105 or the smartphone 110a (or the notebook PC110b), for example, and output the information to each unit included in the control unit 210.
The transmission unit 201b may transmit various information input from each unit included in the control unit 210 to the air conditioner 105 or the smartphone 110a (or the notebook PC110b), for example.
The installation position acquisition unit (acquisition unit) 211 acquires the installation position of the air conditioner 105. Here, the installation location indicates, for example, a location of a user who installs the air conditioner 105, specifically, a bedroom, a living room, an entrance, a child room, and the like.
The installation location acquiring unit 211 may acquire, for example, an equipment ID (for example, a user ID, a serial number, a manufacturing number, or the like) that can identify the air conditioner 105 by associating the equipment ID with the installation location.
The operation time acquisition unit 212 acquires, for example, operation time indicating the time at which the air conditioner 105 is operated.
The measurement value acquisition unit 213 acquires, for example, a measurement value measured by at least one sensor included in the air conditioner 105. The measurement value acquisition unit 213 acquires a plurality of measurement values from a plurality of sensors included in the air conditioner 105, respectively, for example.
The installation position acquisition unit 211, the operation time acquisition unit 212, and the measured value acquisition unit 213 may directly acquire various information (for example, an installation position, operation time, and a measured value) from the air-conditioning apparatus 105 connected to and communicating with the server 100, or may acquire the information via the smartphone 110a (or the notebook PC110 b).
The condition determination unit 214 determines a use condition for using a measurement value from at least one sensor included in the air conditioner 105, based on the installation position and the operation time (hereinafter referred to as "operation time") for operating the air conditioner 105.
The condition determining unit 214 may determine, as the usage condition, a condition in which a plurality of sensors included in the air conditioner 105 use a plurality of measurement values, respectively.
The condition determining unit 214 may determine, as the use condition, a condition for using the measurement value from the odor and dust sensor included in the air conditioner 105, for example, when the installation location is the entrance.
The measured value selecting unit 215 selects and acquires a measured value corresponding to the use condition determined by the condition determining unit 214, for example, from among the plurality of measured values acquired by the measured value acquiring unit 213.
The reflection degree determination unit 216 determines, for example, a reflection degree indicating a degree of reflecting the measurement value based on a relationship between the installation position and the operation time in the process of obtaining the determination result from the measurement value. For example, the reflection degree determination unit 216 may set, among the usage conditions determined by the condition determination unit 214, a usage condition in which the measurement value of a certain sensor is not used as a usage condition in which the reflection degree of the measurement value of the sensor is reduced, based on the relationship between the installation position and the operation time, associate the type of the sensor with the reflection degree, and output the association to the determination unit 217.
The determination unit 217 determines, for example, whether or not a person is present at the installation position from the measurement value as a determination result. Specifically, the determination unit 217 determines whether or not a person is present as a determination result based on whether or not the measurement value from the sensor is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, for example. The determination unit 217 may determine whether or not a person is present based on the measurement value corrected by the degree of reflection, for example.
The operation determination unit 218 determines, for example, an operation based on the determination result obtained from the measurement value, the set position, and the operation amount or the air volume of the combination of the operation times, as the operation content.
The home appliance control unit 219 controls the air conditioner 105 based on the installation location and the operation content of the determination result obtained from the measurement value. The home appliance control unit 219 may control the air conditioner 105 based on the operation content of the determination result obtained from the combination of the plurality of measurement values, for example. The home appliance control unit 219 may control the air conditioner 105 by setting, as operation contents, an operation of humidifying with an amount of humidification smaller than a reference amount of humidification or an operation of blowing air with an amount of air flow smaller than the reference amount of air flow, for example, when the installation location is a bedroom and the operation time is nighttime.
The operation information acquiring unit 220 acquires information related to a user operation in the air conditioner 105, for example. For example, after the air conditioner 105 starts to operate with the operation content determined by the operation determination unit 218, the operation information acquisition unit 220 acquires information related to the user operation for adjusting the operation content.
For example, after the air conditioner 105 starts to operate with the operation content determined by the operation determination unit 218, the learning unit 221 feeds back a user operation for adjusting the operation content, and changes the determination result obtained from the measurement value in accordance with the operation content.
For example, after the air conditioner 105 starts to operate according to the determined operation content, the sound output control unit 222 causes the air conditioner 105 to output a predetermined sound based on the determination result obtained from the measurement value and the operation timing.
The storage unit 202 may be a storage device capable of storing arbitrary information, and may be configured by a hard disk, an ssd (silicon State drive), a semiconductor memory, a DVD, or the like.
(method of determining conditions for use in obtaining measurement values from a sensor)
Fig. 3A to 3C are examples of information showing the use conditions using the measurement values from the sensors and the operation contents of the air conditioner 105. Fig. 3A is an example of information indicating the use condition based on the installation position and the operation time. Fig. 3B is an example of information indicating the type of operation mode based on the installation position and the operation time. Fig. 3C is an example of information indicating the operation content of the air conditioner 105 according to the type of the operation mode.
The condition determination unit 214 determines a use condition for using measurement values from a plurality of sensors (e.g., a human detection sensor, an illuminance sensor, a smell and dust sensor, etc.) based on an installation location (e.g., a bedroom, a living room, an entrance, etc.) and an operation time (e.g., morning, noon, evening, etc.).
As illustrated in fig. 3A, the condition determination unit 214 determines, for example, a use condition under which the measurement values from the human detection sensor, the illuminance sensor, and the smell and dust sensor are not used when the set position is "bedroom" and the operation time is "night". The condition determining unit 214 determines a use condition in which the measurement value from the odor and dust sensor is used without using the measurement value from the human detection sensor or the illuminance sensor even when the operation time is arbitrary, for example, in the case where the set position is the "entrance". The condition determination unit 214 determines a use condition in which the operation time is arbitrary and the measurement values from all the sensors are used even when the set position is in the "living room", for example.
The condition determining unit 214 may be, for example, a selection condition indicating which measurement value is selected from the measurement values acquired from the sensors, or an acquisition condition indicating which measurement value is acquired from which sensor, instead of the above-described use condition. That is, the measurement value acquisition unit 213 may acquire measurement values from all sensors included in the air-conditioning apparatus 105, and the measurement value selection unit 215 may select only the measurement value from the sensor corresponding to the selection condition based on the installation position and the operation time from among the measurement values of all the sensors. The measurement value acquisition unit 213 may acquire, for example, only the measurement values of the sensors corresponding to the above-described acquisition conditions, and the measurement value selection unit 215 may select the acquired measurement values.
The server 100 may transmit the type of sensor using the measurement value corresponding to the use condition to the air conditioner 105 via the communication unit 201, the air conditioner 105 may acquire the measurement value from the sensor corresponding to the received use condition and transmit the measurement value to the server 100, and the measurement value acquisition unit 213 may acquire the received measurement value.
Thus, the server 100 can obtain and use the measurement value from an appropriate sensor corresponding to the installation position and the operation time from among the plurality of sensors. The server 100 can appropriately determine whether or not a person is present based on the measurement value from an appropriate sensor.
(method of determining operation mode based on installation position and operation time)
The operation determination unit 218 determines whether or not a person is present based on the measurement value of the sensor corresponding to the use condition, and determines the operation mode based on the determination result, the installation position, and the operation time.
Specifically, when the server 100 acquires, for example, the installation location "bedroom" and the operation time "night", the measurement value selection unit 215 does not use the measurement values from the human detection sensor, the illuminance sensor, and the smell and dust sensor based on the above-described use conditions (see fig. 3A). Next, the determination unit 217 may determine whether or not a person is present without using the measurement value, for example, and find a determination result "person is present" that the person is assumed to be present.
As illustrated in fig. 3B, the operation determination unit 218 then determines "mode 3" as the operation mode based on the determination result "human presence", the installation location "bedroom", and the operation mode "night". Here, the operation determination unit 218 may always determine the operation mode "mode 3" without using the result of the determination as to whether or not the user is present, in the case where the installation location "bedroom" operation mode "evening".
In addition, when the setting position is "entrance" and the operation time is "noon", for example, the server 100 acquires the measurement value from the odor dust sensor without using the measurement values from the human sensor and the illuminance sensor based on the above-described use condition (see fig. 3A). Next, the determination unit 217 determines whether or not a person is present when the measurement value from the odor and dust sensor is higher than the predetermined value and the measurement value is higher than the predetermined value, and obtains a determination result "person present". For example, the determination unit 217 may determine that a person is present when the measured value of the odor is higher than a predetermined value or when the measured value of the dust is higher than a predetermined value.
Next, the operation determination unit 218 determines "mode 2" as the operation mode when the installation position is "entrance", the operation time is "noon", and the determination result is "human presence", and determines "mode 4" as the operation mode when the determination result is "human absence".
Thus, the server 100 can determine an appropriate operation mode according to the determination result of the installation position, the operation time, and the measurement value by the appropriate sensor.
(method of determining operation content corresponding to operation mode)
The operation determination unit 218 determines the operation content (e.g., humidification level and air volume) of the air conditioner 105 corresponding to the determined operation mode.
As illustrated in fig. 3C, the operation determination unit 218 may determine that the determined operation mode is "mode 1", and determine that the humidification degree is "strong" and the air volume is "strong" as the operation content. Similarly, the operation determination unit 218 may determine the humidification degree "medium" and the air volume "medium" when the operation mode is "mode 2", determine the humidification degree "weak" and the air volume "weak" when the operation mode is "mode 3", and determine the humidification degree "stop" and the air volume "medium" when the operation mode is "mode 4".
Here, the operation determination unit 218 determines the operation content of "weak" humidification degree, for example, when operating at a lower humidification amount than the reference humidification amount (for example, a humidification amount of a middle level of the humidification capability of the air conditioner 105). Similarly, the operation determination unit 218 determines the operation content of "strong" humidification when operating at a higher humidification level than the reference humidification level, and determines the operation content of "medium" humidification when operating at the same humidification level as the reference humidification level.
The operation determination unit 218 determines the operation content of "weak" air volume, for example, when operating at an air volume smaller than the reference air volume (for example, an air volume of a moderate level of the blowing capacity of the air conditioner 105). Similarly, the operation determination unit 218 determines the operation content of "strong" air volume when operating at an air volume larger than the reference air volume, and determines the operation content of "medium" air volume when operating at an air volume approximately equal to the reference air volume.
Thus, the server 100 can determine appropriate operation contents according to the installation position, the operation time, and the determination result of the measurement value by the appropriate sensor, and can efficiently operate the air conditioner 105 according to the determined operation contents.
(concrete example of the determined operation content)
Fig. 4A to 4B are examples of specific operation contents determined by the server 100 when acquiring the device ID, the device location, and the operation time of the home appliance. Fig. 4A shows an example of the operation contents in the case where the installation position of the air conditioner 105 is "bedroom". Fig. 4B shows an example of the operation contents when the installation positions of the air conditioners 105 are "living room" and "entrance".
As illustrated in fig. 4A, when the installation location acquisition unit 211 acquires the device ID "K1" and the installation location "bedroom" of the air conditioner 105, the operation time acquisition unit 212 acquires the operation time "23: 00", and the condition determination unit 214 determines that the operation time "23: 00" is "evening", and determines the use conditions under which the measurement values from the human detection sensor, the illuminance sensor, and the odor and dust sensor are not used, in accordance with the installation location "bedroom" and the operation time "evening" (see fig. 3A). Here, the condition determining unit 214 may determine that the operation time is from 4 o 'clock to 11 o' clock as "morning", from 11 o 'clock to 17 o' clock as "noon", and from 17 o 'clock to 4 o' clock as "evening", for example.
The measurement value selecting unit 215 may determine whether or not a person is present without using the measurement values from the human detection sensor, the illuminance sensor, and the odor and dust sensor based on the use conditions, and the determining unit 217 may determine a determination result "human presence" assuming that a person is present without using the measurement values, for example. Next, the operation determination unit 218 acquires the operation pattern "pattern 3" (see fig. 3B) corresponding to the determination result "human presence", the installation location "bedroom", and the operation time "night", and acquires the humidification degree "weak" and the air volume "weak" corresponding to "pattern 3" (see fig. 3C).
Thus, the server 100 can constantly and quietly operate the air conditioner 105 at the humidification level "weak" and the air volume "weak" regardless of the measurement value of the sensor in the bedroom at night, and can prevent the sleep of the user from being disturbed by the operation sound of the air conditioner 105. That is, although the conventional air conditioner performs an operation according to the environment (for example, humidity and temperature) of the installation location by determining the presence of a person by the human detection sensor, the server 100 can perform a quiet operation of the air conditioner 105 even when the installation location is "bedroom" and the operation time is "night" and a person is actually present.
In addition, in the conventional air conditioner, when the measurement value by the illuminance sensor is equal to or less than the predetermined value, the air conditioner operates in the bed humidifying mode, and when the user sets the illumination to a slightly dark state and sleeps, for example, the measurement value by the illuminance sensor is not equal to or less than the predetermined value, and the air conditioner does not operate in the bed humidifying mode. However, when the installation location is "bedroom" and the operation time is "night", the server 100 can cause the air conditioner 105 to operate quietly at any time regardless of the brightness of the bedroom.
As illustrated in fig. 4B, when the installation position acquisition unit 211 acquires the device ID "K2" and the installation position "entrance" of the air conditioner 105, the operation time acquisition unit 212 acquires the operation time "8: 00", and the condition determination unit 214 determines that the operation time "8: 00" is "morning" and determines the use condition in which only the measurement value from the odor dust sensor is used, in accordance with the installation position "entrance" and the operation time "morning" (see fig. 3A).
When the determination result of the determination unit 217 is "human presence", the operation determination unit 218 determines the operation mode "mode 1" (see fig. 3B) based on the determination result "human presence" of the determination unit 217, the installation location "entrance", and the operation time "morning", and determines the humidification degree "strong" and the air volume "strong" corresponding to "mode 1" (see fig. 3C). When the determination result of the determination unit 217 is "no person", the operation determination unit 218 similarly determines "mode 4" (see fig. 3B), and determines humidification "stop" and air volume "middle (see fig. 3C).
Thus, the server 100 can determine appropriate operation contents based on the determination result of only the measurement value from the odor and dust sensor when the setting position is the "entrance". That is, although the conventional air conditioner switches the operation contents to the operation contents based on the determination results of the measurement values of the human detection sensor and the illuminance sensor every time a person enters or exits, or lights or extinguishes the illumination of the entrance, the server 100 can switch the operation contents to the appropriate operation contents when the air state changes, for example, only the odor and dust of the entrance become large, based on the measurement values from the odor and dust sensor. This allows the server 100 to operate the air conditioner 105 efficiently without unnecessarily operating the air conditioner, thereby reducing power consumption.
The installation position acquisition unit 211 acquires the device ID "K3" and the installation position "living room" of the air conditioner 105, the operation time acquisition unit 212 acquires the operation time "13: 00", and the condition determination unit 214 determines that the operation time "13: 00" is "midday" and determines the use conditions for using the measurement values from the human detection sensor, the illuminance sensor, and the odor and dust sensor in accordance with the installation position "living room" and the operation time "midday" (see fig. 3A). Similarly, the operation determination unit 218 determines the humidification level and the air volume corresponding to the determination result of the presence or absence of a person, the installation location "living room", and the operation time "noon".
Thus, the server 100 can determine an appropriate operation based on the measurement value from an appropriate sensor based on the installation position and the operation time even at an arbitrary installation position and an arbitrary operation time.
(method of determining the degree of reflection of measured value)
The degree of reflection determination unit 216 determines the degree of reflection indicating the degree of reflection of the acquired measurement value based on the installation position and the operation time, for example, before the determination unit 217 obtains the determination result of determining whether or not a person is present based on the measurement value from the sensor. Then, the determination unit 217 determines whether or not a person is present based on the measurement value corrected by the degree of reflection.
That is, the reflection degree determination unit 216 may set, among the usage conditions determined by the condition determination unit 214, a usage condition that is a measurement value of a certain sensor is not used as a usage condition that is a reflection degree of a measurement value of the sensor is reduced, and output the type of the sensor and the reflection degree to the determination unit 217.
Specifically, in the case of a usage condition in which the measurement value of the illuminance sensor is not used, the reflection degree determination unit 216 associates the illuminance sensor with a low reflection degree "0.2" and outputs the result to the determination unit 217. The determination unit 217 determines whether or not a person is present based on the corrected measurement value obtained by correcting the value obtained by multiplying the measurement value from the illuminance sensor by the reflection degree "0.2" as a measurement. That is, the determination unit 217 determines that the measurement value from the illuminance sensor is corrected to be a low measurement value, and determines whether or not a person is present by reducing the degree of consideration of the measurement value from the illuminance sensor.
Thus, the server 100 can appropriately determine whether or not a person is present at an appropriate measurement value level according to the use condition based on the installation position and the operation time.
(feedback processing for user operation)
When the user starts the operation of the air conditioner 105 with the operation content received from the server 100 and the air conditioner 105 performs an operation for adjusting the operation content, the air conditioner 105 transmits the user operation to the server 100. The operation information acquiring unit 220 acquires the user operation from the air conditioner 105. Next, the learning unit 221 changes the determination result obtained from the measurement value in accordance with the operation content, for example, based on the user operation.
When the server 100 determines the operation content based on the acquired installation position and operation time after the correspondence between the determination result and the operation content is changed by the learning unit 221, the operation determination unit 218 refers to the correspondence between the determination result fed back to the user operation and the operation content, and determines the operation content corresponding to the determination result of the acquired measurement value, the installation position, and the operation time.
For example, when the server 100 starts the operation of the air conditioner 105 with the humidity "weak" and the air volume "weak" of the operation contents corresponding to the installation location "bedroom" and the operation time "night", and then the user performs an operation to set the humidity "strong", the operation information acquisition unit 220 acquires the operation contents. Next, the learning unit 221 changes the operation content of the humidification degree "weak" corresponding to the operation pattern "pattern 3" corresponding to the installation location "bedroom", the operation time "night", and the determination result "human presence" by the determination unit 217 to the humidification degree "strong". The server 100 determines that the humidification degree is "strong" when determining the operation contents corresponding to the installation location "bedroom", the operation time "night", and the determination result "human presence" under the same conditions.
Thus, the server 100 can feed back the user operation to the air conditioner 105, and the user can determine the appropriate operation content.
Here, the learning unit 221 may change the determination result obtained from the measurement value in accordance with the operation content based on the user operation when the same user operation is obtained a predetermined number of times or more (for example, two times or more) at the same installation position and the same operation time. That is, the learning unit changes the correspondence according to the number of times the user operation is fed back.
Thus, the server 100 can determine the appropriate operation content based on the user operation by reflecting the operation content determined by the user operation in the case where the user operation is not fed back when the user of the air conditioner 105 has operated erroneously, only when the user has performed the same operation a predetermined number of times or more (for example, the same operation performed three or more times consecutively or the same operation performed in the same time zone on different dates).
(Sound output processing from air conditioner 105)
For example, the sound output control unit 222 may start the operation of the air conditioner 105 according to the determined operation content and then transmit a predetermined sound to the air conditioner 105. The audio output control unit 222 may be configured to acquire, for example, audio information corresponding to the operation content determined by the operation determination unit 218 from the storage unit 202, start the operation of the air conditioner 105 according to the operation content, and transmit the audio information to the air conditioner 105. The air conditioner 105 outputs the received audio information from an audio output unit included in the air conditioner 105.
Specifically, the audio output control unit 222 transmits the determined operation content, i.e., the audio information "the humidification degree is low and the air volume is low" corresponding to the humidification degree is low and the air volume is low "to the air-conditioning apparatus 105, and the air-conditioning apparatus 105 outputs the audio information from the audio output unit.
Thus, the server 100 can output the operation content as audio at the timing when the operation based on the determined operation content is started by the air conditioner 105, and the user can easily know the operation content.
(processing performed in the information processing system 121)
Fig. 5 is an example of a screen displayed on a user terminal (for example, the smartphone 110 a). As illustrated in fig. 5, when the air conditioner 105 is set by the user and the smartphone 110a owned by the user is connected to the air conditioner 105, a screen for inputting setting information including the installation position of the air conditioner 105 is displayed. When "send" is input, the smartphone 110a transmits information on the setting position of the input field input to the "setting position" to the server 100.
Here, the smartphone 110a may associate home appliance information (for example, a device ID, a model name, a manufacturing number, and the like) that can identify the air conditioner 105 with the installation location and transmit the information to the server 100. The smartphone 110a may receive the operation time of the air conditioner 105 and a user operation for adjusting the operation content of the air conditioner 105 from the air conditioner 105, and transmit the operation time and the user operation to the server 100.
Thus, the server 100 can manage a plurality of home appliances by associating the installation positions of the home appliances and the home appliances with the operation contents of the home appliances. In the case where a home appliance installed at a certain installation location is replaced with another home appliance, the server 100 refers to the operation content of the home appliance installed at the installation location, and sets the same operation content as the operation content of the replaced home appliance as the operation content of the other home appliance.
(processing executed in the Server 100)
Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed by the server 100.
First, the installation position acquisition unit 211 receives and acquires the installation position of the air conditioner 105 from the air conditioner 105 or the smartphone 110a (or the notebook PC110b) which is in communication connection with the server 100 (S101). Next, the operation time acquisition unit 212 receives and acquires the operation time of the air conditioner 105 from the air conditioner 105 or the smartphone 110a (or the notebook PC110b) which is connected to the server 100 by communication (S102).
The condition determining unit 214 determines the use condition using the measurement value from the sensor included in the air conditioner 105, based on the installation position and the operation time (S103). Next, the measurement value selecting unit 215 selects a measurement value from among the measurement values of the sensors acquired by the measurement value acquiring unit 213 based on the usage condition (S104).
Then, the determination unit 217 obtains a result of determining whether or not a person is present at the installation position from the selected measurement value as a determination result (S105). Next, the operation determination unit 218 determines the operation content (e.g., the amount of humidification and the amount of air flow) based on the determination result (S106). The home appliance control unit 219 controls the air conditioner 105 to operate according to the determined operation content (S107).
(Effect of the Server 100)
The server 100 can acquire measurement values from appropriate sensors according to the installation position and the operation time of the air conditioner 105, and can appropriately determine whether or not a person is present from the measurement values. That is, the server 100 can determine an appropriate use method of the sensor included in the air conditioner 105 based on the installation position and the operation time.
Therefore, the server 100 has an effect of determining appropriate operation contents according to the installation position, the operation time, and the determination result of the measurement value by the appropriate sensor. Thus, the server 100 has an effect of controlling the air conditioner 105 with efficient operation contents according to the installation location.
[ embodiment 2]
A second embodiment (embodiment 2) will be described with reference to fig. 7. In embodiment 2, a configuration added to embodiment 1 and a configuration different from this configuration will be described. That is, the contents of embodiment 1 and the contents of embodiment 2 overlap, and the description thereof is omitted.
(different from embodiment 1)
The server 100 according to embodiment 1 obtains measurement values from the air-conditioning apparatus 105 from sensors corresponding to the installation location and the operation time, transmits operation contents based on the installation location and the determination results obtained from the measurement values to the air-conditioning apparatus 105, and controls the air-conditioning apparatus 105. In contrast, the air-conditioning apparatus 105 according to embodiment 2 may be configured such that the air-conditioning apparatus 105 performs processing for determining the operation content of the server 100 according to embodiment 1. The home appliance system may be the air conditioner 105.
(constitution of air conditioner 105)
Fig. 7 is a block diagram showing an example of a main configuration of the air conditioner 105. As illustrated in fig. 7, the air conditioner 105 may include, for example, an input unit 701, a communication unit 702, a sensor unit 703, a storage unit 704, an output unit 705, and a control unit 710. The control unit 710 may include, for example, an installation position acquisition unit 711, an operation time acquisition unit 712, a measurement value acquisition unit 713, a condition determination unit 714, a measurement value selection unit 715, a reflection degree determination unit 716, a determination unit 717, an operation determination unit 718, a home appliance control unit 719, an operation information acquisition unit 720, a learning unit 721, and an audio output control unit 722.
The control unit 710 has a function of collectively controlling various functions of the air conditioner 105, and is realized by a controller (processor) such as a cpu (central Processing unit), for example.
The input unit 701 receives a content operated by a user, for example, through a key provided on the outside of the air conditioner 105, a display device with a touch panel, a remote controller, or the like.
The communication unit 702 acquires an installation location from a user terminal (e.g., the smartphone 110a or the notebook PC110b), for example.
The sensor unit 703 may include, for example, a human detection sensor 703a, an illuminance sensor 703b, and a smell and dust sensor 703 c. The human motion sensor 703a is, for example, a sensor that detects the presence or absence of a human. The illuminance sensor 703b is, for example, a sensor that detects the ambient brightness. The odor and dust sensor 703c is a sensor for detecting odor and dust in the ambient air, for example. Each sensor outputs a measurement value measured when it is detected to the control unit 710. Here, the measurement values are, for example, a measurement value indicating the presence of a person, a measurement value at which brightness is measured, a measurement value at which odor is measured, and a measurement value at which the amount of dust is measured.
The installation position acquisition unit (acquisition unit) 711 acquires an installation position from a user terminal (for example, the smartphone 110a or the notebook PC110 b). The installation position acquisition unit 711 may acquire the installation position of the installation position input from the input unit 701.
The operation time acquisition unit 712 measures and acquires, for example, an operation time indicating the time at which the air conditioner 105 operates.
The measurement value acquisition unit 713 acquires, for example, measurement values measured when the human detection sensor 703a, the illuminance sensor 703b, and the odor and dust sensor 703c detect them from the respective sensors.
The condition determining unit 714, the measured value selecting unit 715, the reflection degree determining unit 716, the determining unit 717, the operation determining unit 718, and the learning unit 721 are the same as the condition determining unit 214, the measured value selecting unit 215, the reflection degree determining unit 216, the determining unit 217, the operation determining unit 218, and the learning unit 221 of the server 100, and the description thereof will be omitted.
Home appliance control unit 719 controls air conditioner 105 such that operation content (for example, humidification amount or air volume) based on the installation position and the determination result obtained from the measurement value is output from output unit 705 (for example, humidification unit 705a or air blowing unit 705 b).
For example, after the air conditioner 105 starts to operate according to the determined operation content, the sound output control unit 722 outputs a predetermined sound from the sound output unit 705c based on the determination result and the operation time obtained from the measurement value.
The operation information acquiring unit 720, for example, acquires information related to the user operation input from the input unit 701, after the air conditioner 105 starts to operate according to the operation content determined by the operation determining unit 718.
The output unit 705 includes, for example, a humidifying unit 705a for humidifying air, an air blowing unit 705b for blowing air, an audio output unit 705c for outputting audio, and a display unit 705d for displaying the audio, and is controlled by the control unit 710.
The storage unit 704 may be a storage device that can store arbitrary information, and may be configured by a hard disk, an ssd (silicon State drive), a semiconductor memory, or the like.
(Effect of air conditioner 105)
The air conditioner 105 can acquire a measurement value from an appropriate sensor according to the installation position and the operation timing of the air conditioner 105, and can appropriately determine whether or not a person is present from the measurement value. That is, the air conditioner 105 can determine an appropriate use method of the sensor included in the air conditioner 105 based on the installation position and the operation timing.
Therefore, the air conditioner 105 has an effect of determining appropriate operation contents according to the installation position, the operation timing, and the determination result of the measurement value by the appropriate sensor. This allows the air conditioner 105 to operate with efficient operation contents according to the installation position.
