(embodiment 1)
Structure
First, a configuration of a control system according to embodiment 1 will be described. Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the control system according to embodiment 1.
The control system 100 according to embodiment 1 is a system capable of rapidly controlling the 1 st and 2 nd devices 40 and 50 installed in the building 80 based on an execution input of scene control input by a user without giving the user a sense of awkward feeling. The fact that the user does not feel awkward means that the user does not feel that there is a time lag from the input of the execution instruction of the scene control to the start of the operation of the device class (i.e., the start of the operation is slow). That is, the control system 100 is a system that performs scene control on at least a part of a plurality of device classes according to real-time performance required for the operation of the devices. The building 80 is a house such as a unit house or a single-family house, for example, but may be a facility other than a house such as an office.
Scene control refers to control of representing scenes in the life of a user for at least some of a plurality of devices. The scenes include various scenes in life of a user such as living scenes of getting up, going to bed, going home, going out, and the like, and working scenes of meetings, table work, resting, dozing, and the like.
The user can perform scene control with at least one of the 1 st device 40 and the 2 nd device 50 as a control object by operating the operation terminal 10 such as a remote controller provided on a wall or the like in the building 80 or the operation terminal 60 such as a portable terminal held by the user. The 1 st device 40 and the 2 nd device 50 may each include more than one device. The 1 st device 40 is a device that is required to have a short time lag (in other words, real-time) from receiving an operation instruction from a user to starting an operation. For example, the 1 st device 40 is a lighting device, a motorized window treatment, or the like. The 2 nd device 50 is a device different from the 1 st device, and is an instrument that is less likely to feel a sense of strangeness (in other words, is not required to be real-time of the operation) even if there is a time lag from receiving an operation instruction from the user to starting the operation. For example, the 2 nd device is an air conditioning device, a floor heating device, an electronic lock, an electric shutter, a television, a fragrance device, an audio device, or the like. The user can set the operation states of the 1 st device 40 and the 2 nd device 50 by associating with a plurality of scenes such as an outgoing scene and a returning scene, respectively. The operation state includes, specifically, a power-on state, a power-off state, a setting state (for example, brightness if the 1 st device 40 is a lighting device, a setting temperature if the 2 nd device 50 is an air conditioning device, etc.), and the like.
As shown in fig. 1, the control system 100 includes, for example, an operation terminal 10, a control device 20, a control server 30, a 1 st device 40, a 2 nd device 50, and an operation terminal 60.

The communication standard used for communication is not particularly limited either.
The control unit 23 performs information processing related to control of the 1 st device 40. For example, if an execution input for executing scene control is acquired, the control unit 23 reads out the 1 st control information from the storage unit 24, and controls the 1 st device 40 based on the 1 st control information. More specifically, the control unit 23 outputs a control signal to the 1 st device 40 via the 1 st communication unit 21. The control unit 23 is implemented by a microcomputer, for example, but may be implemented by a processor or a dedicated circuit.
The storage unit 24 is a storage device that stores a control program or the like executed by the control unit 23. The storage unit 24 stores 1 st control information on the operation of the 1 st device in scene control. The storage section 24 is implemented by, for example, a semiconductor memory.

Action
Next, the operation of the control system 100 will be described.
[ example 1: setting registration of control information related to scene control
First, an example of the operation of the control system 100 at the time of setting registration of control information related to scene control will be described. Fig. 2 is a sequence diagram showing an example 1 of the operation of the control system 100 according to embodiment 1.
The user can set control information related to scene control using the operation terminal 60 of the smart phone or the like held by the user.
First, if the input receiving unit 63 of the operation terminal 60 receives an input of a setting instruction of control information related to scene control (step S001), the control unit 62 determines whether or not the 1 st control information related to control of the 1 st device 40 is included in the control information for which the input of the setting instruction is received (step S002).
When it is determined that the 1 st control information related to the control of the 1 st device 40 is included in the control information of the scene control for which the setting instruction is received in step S001 (yes in step S002), the control unit 62 of the operation terminal 60 outputs the 1 st control information to the control device 20 via the communication unit 61 (step S003), and outputs the control information to the control server 30 (step S004).
The control device 20 acquires the 1 st control information (not shown) output from the operation terminal 60 in step S003 via the 2 nd communication unit 22, and stores the acquired 1 st control information in the storage unit 24 (step S005). The control server 30 acquires control information (not shown) output from the operation terminal 60 in step S004, and stores the acquired control information in the storage unit 66 (step S006).
On the other hand, if the control unit 62 of the operation terminal 60 determines in step S002 that the 1 st control information is not included in the control information of the scene control for which the input of the setting instruction was received in step S001 (no), the control unit 62 outputs the control information to the control server 30 via the communication unit 61 (step S007). The control server 30 acquires control information (not shown) output from the operation terminal 60 in step S007, and stores the acquired control information in the storage unit 66 (step S008).
As described above, the control system 100 stores the 1 st control information related to the control of the 1 st device 40 in the storage unit 24 of the control apparatus 20, and stores the 2 nd control information (i.e., control information) related to the control of the 2 nd device in addition to the 1 st control information in the storage unit 33 of the control server 30. Therefore, when the 1 st device 40 is a device whose real-time performance of operation is requested by a user, such as a lighting device, for example, the control device 20 can control the operation of the 1 st device 40 via the local network. Thus, the operation of the 1 st device 40 in the scene control can be controlled quickly without giving the user a feeling of strangeness.
[ example 2: execution of scene control
Next, an example of the operation of the control system 100 when performing scene control will be described. Fig. 3 is a sequence diagram showing an example 2 of the operation of the control system 100 according to embodiment 1. In example 2, the operation terminal 10 (for example, a remote controller provided in the building 80) receives an execution instruction of scene control input by the user, but the operation terminal 60 (for example, a portable terminal held by the user) may receive an execution instruction.
First, if the input receiving unit 13 of the operation terminal 10 receives an input of an execution instruction of the scene control (also referred to as an execution input) (step S101), the control unit 12 outputs the execution instruction of the scene control to the control device 20 via the communication unit 11 (step S102).
If the control unit 23 of the control device 20 acquires the execution instruction (not shown) of the scene control output from the operation terminal 10 in step S102 via the 1 st communication unit 21, it is determined whether or not the 1 st control information concerning the control of the 1 st apparatus 40 is included in the control information of the scene control for which the execution instruction was acquired (step S103).
When the control unit 23 of the control device 20 determines that the 1 st control information is included in the control information in step S103 (yes), the control unit 23 reads out the 1 st control information from the storage unit 24 (step S104), and outputs the read out 1 st control information to the 1 st apparatus 40 (step S105). The control unit 23 of the control device 20 outputs the instruction to execute the scene control acquired in step S103 to the control server 30 via the 2 nd communication unit 22 (step S106).
The 1 st device 40 acquires the 1 st control signal output from the control device 20 in step S105 (step S107), and operates in accordance with the acquired 1 st control signal (step S108).
If the information processing unit 32 of the control server 30 acquires the execution instruction of the scene control outputted from the control device 20 in step S106 (step S109), the information processing unit 32 reads out the 2 nd control information on the control of the 2 nd device 50 in the scene control from the storage unit 33 based on the acquired execution instruction (step S110).
Next, the execution unit 35 of the information processing unit 32 of the control server 30 outputs a 2 nd control signal for controlling the 2 nd device 50 based on the 2 nd control information read out in step S110 to the 2 nd device 50 via the 2 nd communication unit 22 (step S111).
The 2 nd device 50 acquires the 2 nd control signal output from the control server 30 in step S111 (step S112), and operates in accordance with the acquired 2 nd control signal (step S113).
On the other hand, when the control unit 23 of the control device 20 determines in step S103 that the 1 st control information is not included in the control information (no), the control unit 23 performs the processing of step S106. Next, the control system 100 performs steps S109 to S113 described above.
As described above, in the execution of the scene control, the control system 100 controls the 1 st device 40 by using the local network, and controls the 2 nd device 50 by controlling the control server 30 via the gateway and the internet which relay the local network and the internet. This can shorten the time lag from the input of the execution instruction of the scene control to the execution of the operation control of the 1 st device 40, and thus can reduce the user's feeling of strangeness on the operation of the 1 st device 40.
[ example 3: execution of scene control
Next, another example of the operation of the control system 100 when performing scene control will be described. Fig. 4 is a sequence diagram showing the 3 rd example of the operation of the control system 100 according to embodiment 1. In example 2, the execution instruction of the scene control received by the operation terminal 10 or the operation terminal 60 is output to the control device 20, and in example 3, the output destination of the output execution instruction is changed according to whether or not the 1 st device 40 is included in the control object of the scene control, which is different from example 2. Here, the description will be mainly focused on points different from example 2, and the repeated description will be omitted or simplified.
First, if the input receiving unit 63 of the operation terminal 60 receives an input of an execution instruction of the scene control (step S201), the control unit 62 reads out control information (not shown) related to the scene control from the storage unit 66, and determines whether or not the 1 st control information related to the control of the 1 st device 40 is included in the read out control information (step S202).
When the control unit 62 determines in step S202 that the 1 st control information is included in the control information (yes), it outputs an instruction to execute the scene control to the control device 20 via the communication unit 61 (step S203).
If the control device 20 acquires the execution instruction of the scene control output from the operation terminal 60 in step S203 (step S204), the 1 st control information on the control of the 1 st device 40 in the scene control is read out from the storage unit 24 based on the acquired execution instruction (step S205).
Next, the control unit 23 of the control device 20 outputs a 1 st control signal for controlling the 1 st apparatus 40 based on the 1 st control information read out in step S205 to the 1 st apparatus 40 via the 1 st communication unit 21 (step S206). The control unit 23 of the control device 20 outputs the instruction to execute the scene control acquired in step S203 to the control server 30 via the 2 nd communication unit 22 (step S207).
The 1 st device 40 acquires the 1 st control signal output from the control device 20 in step S206 (step S208), and operates in accordance with the acquired 1 st control signal (step S209).
If the information processing unit 32 of the control server 30 acquires the execution instruction of the scene control output from the control device 20 in step S207 (step S210), the information processing unit 32 reads out the 2 nd control information on the control of the 2 nd device 50 in the scene control from the storage unit 33 based on the acquired execution instruction (step S211).
Next, the execution unit 35 of the information processing unit 32 of the control server 30 outputs a 2 nd control signal for controlling the 2 nd device 50 based on the 2 nd control information read out in step S211 to the 2 nd device 50 via the 2 nd communication unit 22 (step S212).
The 2 nd device 50 acquires the 2 nd control signal output from the control server 30 in step S212 (step S213), and operates in accordance with the acquired 2 nd control signal (step S214).
On the other hand, if the control unit 62 of the operation terminal 60 determines in step S202 that the 1 st control information is not included in the control information read out from the storage unit 66 (no), the control unit 62 outputs an instruction to execute the scene control to the control server 30 via the communication unit 61 (step S215).
Next, the information processing unit 32 of the control server 30 executes the processing of steps S210 to S212 described above, and the 2 nd device 50 executes the processing of steps S213 and S214 described above.
As described above, in the execution of the scene control, the control system 100 controls the 1 st device 40 by using the local network, and controls the 2 nd device 50 by causing the control server 30 to perform control via the gateway and the internet which relay the local network and the internet. This can shorten the time lag from the input of the execution instruction of the scene control to the execution of the operation control of the 1 st device 40, and thus can reduce the user's feeling of strangeness on the operation of the 1 st device 40.
As described above, when the operation terminal 60 receives an instruction to execute the scene control input by the user, the output destination of the instruction to execute the scene control is changed according to whether or not the 1 st device 40 is included in the control object of the scene control (in other words, whether or not the 1 st control information is included in the control information related to the scene control). This enables rapid scene control according to the control object.
[ Effect etc. ]
As described above, the control system 100 is a control system used together with a gateway that relays a local network and the internet, and includes: the control device 20 acquiring an execution input for executing a scene control that is controlled by at least one of the 1 st device 40 and the 2 nd device 50 different from the 1 st device 40 connected to the local network and that is associated with a living scene, and controlling the 1 st device 40 not via the internet based on the acquired execution input; and a control server 30 that obtains an execution input and controls the 2 nd device 50 via the gateway and the internet based on the obtained execution input.
Such a control system 100 performs control of the 1 st device 40 by local network communication, and performs control of the 2 nd device 50 by the control server 30 (so-called cloud server). Therefore, the control system 100 can quickly perform control of a device (for example, the 1 st device 40) with high real-time performance, which is required to have a small time lag from receiving an execution instruction of scene control to performing control of an operation of the device. Thus, the control system 100 can quickly perform scene control without giving a user a sense of strangeness.
For example, the control device 20 stores 1 st control information on the operation of the 1 st device 40 in scene control, controls the 1 st device 40 based on the 1 st control information if an execution input is acquired, and the control server 30 stores 2 nd control information on the operation of the 2 nd device in scene control in addition to the 1 st control information, and controls the 2 nd device 50 based on the 2 nd control information if an execution input is acquired.
Such a control system 100 can perform control of the 1 st device 40 more quickly than control of the 2 nd device 50 in scene control.
For example, the control device 20 manages the operation state of the 1 st device 40, is communicably connected to the control server 30, and the control server 30 obtains an execution input via the control device 20.
According to such a control system 100, the control device 20 can relay the local network and the wide area communication network 70.
For example, the control system 100 further includes an operation terminal 60 (for example, a portable terminal held by a user) that receives an execution input, and the operation terminal 60 stores the 1 st control information and the 2 nd control information in the scene control, and if the execution input is received, determines whether the 1 st control information is included in the control information related to the scene control, and if the control information is determined to include the 1 st control information, outputs the execution input to the control server 30 via the control device 20, and if the control information is determined not to include the 1 st control information, outputs the execution input to the control server 30 without via the control device 20.
According to the control system 100, since the control information on the scene control is stored in the operation terminal 60 in addition to the control server 30 that controls the 2 nd device 50, the output destination of the execution instruction can be appropriately selected according to whether the 1 st device 40 is included in the control object of the scene control. In this way, when the 1 st device 40 is not included in the control target of the scene control, the control system 100 can obtain the execution instruction without passing through the control device 20, and thus can execute the scene control more quickly.
For example, the 1 st device 40, the 2 nd device 50, and the control device 20 are disposed in one building 80, and the control server 30 is disposed outside the one building 80.
According to the control system 100, the time lag from the instruction of execution of the user input operation to the control of the operation of the 1 st device 40 can be shortened.
Further, for example, the 1 st device 40 is a lighting device.
According to the control system 100, it is possible to quickly control the operation of a device that is likely to give a user a sense of confusion if there is a time lag from the input of an execution instruction of an operation to the operation, such as a lighting device.
Further, the computer-implemented control method of the control system 100 or the like includes: a 1 st control step of acquiring an execution input for executing scene control to be controlled by at least one of the 1 st device 40 connected to the local network and the 2 nd device 50 different from the 1 st device 40, and controlling the 1 st device 40 not via the internet based on the acquired execution input; and a 2 nd control step of acquiring an execution input and controlling the 2 nd device 50 via a gateway and the internet relaying the local network and the internet based on the acquired execution input.
Such a control method controls the 1 st device 40 by local network communication, and controls the 2 nd device 50 by the control server 30 (so-called cloud server). Therefore, the control method can quickly perform the control of the device (for example, the 1 st device 40) with high real-time performance, which is required to have little time lag from receiving the execution instruction of the scene control to performing the control of the operation of the device. Therefore, according to the control method, the scene control can be promptly performed without giving the user a feeling of strangeness.
(embodiment 2)
Structure
Next, a configuration of the control system 100a according to embodiment 2 will be described. Fig. 5 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the control system according to embodiment 2.
In embodiment 1, an example is described in which the control device 20 is a gateway device that manages the operation state of the 1 st device 40 and is communicably connected to the control server 30. In embodiment 2, a control device 10a is the operation terminal 10 of embodiment 1, and is different from embodiment 1 in that it is connected to a control server 30 via a wide area communication network 70 such as a gateway 20a and the internet. Hereinafter, the differences from embodiment 1 will be mainly described, and the description thereof repeated with embodiment 1 will be omitted or simplified.
[ control device 10a ]
The control device 10a is, for example, a remote controller or a control panel installed in the building 80, and includes a communication unit 11, a control unit 12a, an input receiving unit 13, and a storage unit 16a. For example, if the input receiving unit 13 receives an execution input, the control device 10a determines whether the 1 st control information is included in the control information related to the scene control, controls the 1 st equipment 40 based on the 1 st control information when it is determined that the 1 st control information is included in the control information, outputs the execution input to the control server 30 via the gateway 20a, and outputs the execution input to the control server 30 via the gateway 20a when it is determined that the 1 st control information is not included in the control information.
The control unit 12a performs information processing related to control of the operation of the control device 10a and information processing related to control of the 1 st apparatus 40. For example, if the control unit 12a acquires an execution input for executing the scene control, the 1 st control information is read from the storage unit 16a, and the 1 st device 40 is controlled based on the 1 st control information. More specifically, the control section 12a outputs a control signal to the 1 st device 40 via the communication section 11. The control unit 12a is implemented by a microcomputer, for example, but may be implemented by a processor or a dedicated circuit.
The storage unit 16a is a storage device that stores a control program or the like executed by the control unit 12 a. The storage unit 16a stores 1 st control information on the operation of the 1 st device in scene control. The storage section 16a is implemented by, for example, a semiconductor memory.
Gateway 20a
The gateway 20a relays a control signal output from the control device 10 a. More specifically, the gateway 20a relays a control signal such as an instruction to execute a scene control acquired from the control device 20 by outputting the control signal to the control server 30 via the wide area communication network 70 such as the internet. The gateway 20a includes a 1 st communication unit 21, a 2 nd communication unit 22, a control unit 23a, and a storage unit 24a.
The 1 st communication unit 21 is a communication circuit (communication module) for performing wireless communication between the gateway 20a and the control apparatus 10a or the 1 st device 40. The communication standard used for the communication performed by the 1 st communication unit 21 is not particularly limited. The 2 nd communication unit 22 is a communication circuit (communication module) for communicating with the control server 30, the 2 nd device 50, or the operation terminal 60. The communication standard used for the communication performed by the 2 nd communication unit 22 is not particularly limited. The communication between the 1 st communication unit 21 and the 1 st device 40 is based on, for example, echo Lite (registered trademark).
The control unit 23a performs control related to relay of the control signal, and the like. The control unit 23a is implemented by a microcomputer, for example, but may be implemented by a processor.
The storage unit 24a is a storage device that stores a computer program or the like executed by the control unit 23 a. The storage unit 24a is implemented by, for example, a semiconductor memory or the like.
Action
Next, the operation of the control system 100a will be described.
[ example 1: setting registration of control information related to scene control
First, an example of the operation of the control system 100a at the time of setting registration of control information related to scene control will be described. Fig. 6 is a sequence diagram showing example 1 of the operation of control system 100a according to embodiment 2.
The user can set control information related to scene control using the operation terminal 60 such as a smart phone held by the user.
First, if the input receiving unit 63 of the operation terminal 60 receives an input of a setting instruction of control information related to scene control (step S301), the control unit 62 determines whether or not the 1 st control information related to control of the 1 st device 40 is included in the control information for which the input of the setting instruction is received (step S302).
When it is determined that the 1 st control information related to the control of the 1 st device 40 is included in the control information of the scene control for which the setting instruction is received in step S301 (yes in step S302), the control unit 62 of the operation terminal 60 outputs the 1 st control information to the control device 10a via the communication unit 61 (step S303), and outputs the control information to the control server 30 (step S304).
The control device 10a acquires the 1 st control information (not shown) output from the operation terminal 60 in step S303, and stores the acquired 1 st control information in the storage unit 16a (step S305). The control server 30 acquires control information (not shown) output from the operation terminal 60 in step S304, and stores the acquired control information in the storage unit 33 (step S306).
On the other hand, if the control unit 62 of the operation terminal 60 determines in step S302 that the 1 st control information is not included in the control information of the scene control for which the input of the setting instruction is received in step S301 (no), the control information is output to the control server 30 via the communication unit 61 (step S307). The control server 30 acquires control information (not shown) output from the operation terminal 60 in step S307, and stores the acquired control information in the storage unit 33 (step S308).
As described above, the control system 100a stores the 1 st control information related to the control of the 1 st device 40 in the storage unit 16a of the control apparatus 10a, and stores the 2 nd control information related to the control of the 2 nd device in addition to the 1 st control information in the storage unit 33 of the control server 30. Therefore, when the 1 st device 40 is a device requiring real-time performance of operation by a user, such as a lighting device, for example, the control apparatus 10a can control the operation of the 1 st device 40 via the local network. Thus, the control of the operation of the 1 st device 40 in the scene control can be promptly performed without giving the user a feeling of strangeness.
[ example 2: execution of scene control
Next, an example of the operation of the control system 100a when performing scene control will be described. Fig. 7 is a sequence diagram showing an example 2 of the operation of the control system 100a according to embodiment 2. In example 2, the control device 10a (for example, a remote controller provided in the building 80) receives an execution instruction of scene control input by the user, but the operation terminal 60 (for example, a portable terminal held by the user) may also receive the execution instruction.
First, if the input receiving unit 13 of the control device 10a receives an input of an execution instruction of the scene control (also referred to as an execution input) (step S401), it is determined whether or not the 1 st control information related to the control of the 1 st apparatus 40 is included in the control information of the scene control for which the execution instruction is received (step S402).
When the control unit 12a of the control device 10a determines that the 1 st control information is included in the control information in step S402 (yes), the 1 st control information is read from the storage unit 16a (step S403). Next, the control unit 12a of the control device 10a outputs a 1 st control signal for controlling the 1 st apparatus 40 based on the 1 st control information read out in step S403 to the 1 st apparatus 40 via the communication unit 11 (step S404).
The 1 st device 40 acquires the 1 st control signal output from the control apparatus 10a in step S404 (step S405), and operates in accordance with the acquired 1 st control signal (step S406).
The control unit 12a of the control device 10a outputs the instruction for executing the scene control received in step S401 to the gateway 20a via the communication unit 11 (step S407), and the gateway 20a outputs the acquired instruction for executing the scene control to the control server 30 via the 2 nd communication unit 22 (step S408).
If the information processing unit 32 of the control server 30 acquires the execution instruction of the scene control relayed by the gateway 20a in step S408 by the acquisition unit 34 (step S409), the 2 nd control information on the control of the 2 nd device 50 in the scene control is read out from the storage unit 33 based on the acquired execution instruction (step S410).
Next, the execution unit 35 of the information processing unit 32 of the control server 30 outputs a 2 nd control signal for controlling the 2 nd device 50 based on the 2 nd control information read out in step S410 to the 2 nd device 50 via the communication unit 31 (step S411).
The 2 nd device 50 acquires the 2 nd control signal output from the control server 30 in step S411 (step S412), and operates in accordance with the acquired 2 nd control signal (step S413).
On the other hand, when the control unit 12a of the control device 10a determines in step S402 that the 1 st control information is not included in the control information (no), the process of step S407 is performed. Next, the control system 100a performs steps S408 to S413 described above.
As described above, in the execution of the scene control, the control system 100a controls the 1 st device 40 by using the local network, and controls the 2 nd device 50 by causing the control server 30 to perform control via the gateway and the internet. This can shorten the time lag from the input of the execution instruction of the scene control to the execution of the operation control of the 1 st device 40, and thus can reduce the user's feeling of strangeness on the operation of the 1 st device 40.
[ modification of example 2 ]
In example 2, the control device 10a is a remote controller or a controller provided on a wall or the like of the building 80, and receives an execution instruction of scene control by operating the remote controller by a user. In the modification of example 2, the operation terminal 60 may be used as the control device instead of the control device 10 a.
Thus, the control system 100a can perform scene control using the portable terminal held by the user, so that convenience is improved.
[ Effect etc. ]
For example, the control device 10a further includes an input receiving unit 13 for receiving an execution input, and if the execution input is received by the input receiving unit 13, it is determined whether the 1 st control information is included in the control information related to the scene control, and if it is determined that the 1 st control information is included in the control information, the 1 st device 40 is controlled based on the 1 st control information, and the execution input is output to the control server 30 via the gateway 20a, and if it is determined that the 1 st control information is not included in the control information, the execution input is output to the control server 30 via the gateway 20 a.
According to the control system 100a, when the 1 st device 40 is included in the control target of the scene control, the 1 st device 40 can be controlled promptly. Thus, the control system 100a can quickly perform scene control without giving a user a sense of strangeness.
Further, for example, the 1 st device is a lighting device.
According to the control system 100a, it is possible to quickly control the operation of a device that is likely to give a user a sense of confusion if there is a time lag from the input of an execution instruction of an operation to the operation, such as a lighting device.
Embodiment 3
Structure
Next, a configuration of the control system 100b according to embodiment 3 will be described. Fig. 8 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the control system according to embodiment 3.
In embodiment 2, the control device 10a is the operation terminal 10 of embodiment 1, and is connected to the control server 30 via the gateway 20a and the wide area communication network 70 such as the internet. In embodiment 3, the control device 60a is the operation terminal 60 of embodiment 1 and embodiment 2, and is, for example, a portable terminal held by a user. Hereinafter, differences from embodiment 1 and embodiment 2 will be mainly described, and the description thereof will be omitted or simplified.
[ control device 60a ]
The control device 60a is, for example, a portable terminal held by a user, and includes a communication unit 61, a control unit 62a, an input receiving unit 63, and a storage unit 66a. If the execution input is received by the input receiving unit 63, it is determined whether the 1 st control information is included in the control information related to the scene control, and if it is determined that the 1 st control information is included in the control information, the 1 st device 40 is controlled based on the 1 st control information, and the execution input is output to the control server 30 via the gateway 20a, and if it is determined that the 1 st control information is not included in the control information, the execution input is output to the control server 30 without via the gateway 20 a.
The control unit 62a performs information processing related to control of the operation of the control device 60a and information processing related to control of the 1 st apparatus 40. For example, if an execution input for executing the scene control is acquired, the control unit 62a reads out the 1 st control information from the storage unit 66a, and controls the 1 st device 40 based on the 1 st control information. More specifically, the control section 62a outputs a control signal to the 1 st device 40 via the communication section 61. The control unit 62a is implemented by a microcomputer, for example, but may be implemented by a processor or a dedicated circuit.
The storage unit 66a is a storage device that stores a control program or the like executed by the control unit 62 a. The storage unit 66a stores the 1 st control information on the operation of the 1 st device in the scene control. The storage unit 66a is implemented by, for example, a semiconductor memory.
Action
Next, the operation of the control system 100b will be described.
[ example 1: setting registration of control information related to scene control
First, an example of the operation of the control system 100b at the time of setting registration of control information related to scene control will be described. Fig. 9 is a sequence diagram showing example 1 of the operation of the control system 100b according to embodiment 3.
The user can set control information related to scene control to the control device 60a of the mobile terminal or the like held by the user. The control device 60a may be a dedicated terminal.
First, if the input receiving unit 63 of the control device 60a receives an input of a setting instruction of control information related to scene control (step S501), the control unit 62a determines whether or not the 1 st control information related to control of the 1 st apparatus 40 is included in the control information for which the input of the setting instruction is received (step S502).
When it is determined that the 1 st control information related to the control of the 1 st device 40 is included in the control information of the scene control for which the setting instruction is received in step S501 (yes in step S502), the control unit 62a of the control device 60a stores the 1 st control information in the storage unit 66a (step S503), and outputs the control information to the control server 30 via the communication unit 61 (step S504). In this case, the control information may not be relayed by the gateway 20 a.
The control server 30 acquires control information (not shown) output from the control device 60a in step S504, and stores the acquired control information in the storage unit 33 (step S505).
On the other hand, if the control unit 62a of the control device 60a determines in step S502 that the 1 st control information is not included in the control information of the scene control for which the input of the setting instruction was received in step S501 (no), the control information is output to the control server 30 via the communication unit 61 (step S506). The control server 30 acquires control information (not shown) output from the control device 60a in step S506, and stores the acquired control information in the storage unit 33 (step S507).
As described above, the control system 100b stores the 1 st control information related to the control of the 1 st device 40 in the storage unit 66a of the control apparatus 60a, and stores the 2 nd control information (i.e., control information) related to the control of the 2 nd device in addition to the 1 st control information in the storage unit 33 of the control server 30. Therefore, when the 1 st device 40 is a device whose real-time performance of operation is requested by a user, such as a lighting device, for example, the control device 60a can control the operation of the 1 st device 40 via the local network. Thus, the control of the operation of the 1 st device 40 in the scene control can be promptly performed without giving the user a feeling of strangeness. Further, since the control device 60a is a portable terminal or a dedicated terminal held by the user, the user can operate the operation terminal 10 without using a remote controller or the like provided on the wall or the like of the building 80. Therefore, the control system 100b is improved in convenience.
[ example 2: execution of scene control
Next, an example of the operation of the control system 100b when performing scene control will be described. Fig. 10 is a sequence diagram showing an example 2 of the operation of the control system 100b according to embodiment 3. In embodiment 2, an example is described in which the control device 10a (for example, a remote controller provided in the building 80) receives an instruction to execute scene control input by a user, and performs control of the 1 st equipment 40. Embodiment 3 is different from embodiment 2 in that the control device 60a (for example, a portable terminal held by a user) receives an execution instruction and performs control of the 1 st apparatus 40.
First, if the input receiving unit 63 of the control device 60a receives an input of an execution instruction of the scene control (step S601), it is determined whether or not the 1 st control information related to the control of the 1 st apparatus 40 is included in the control information of the scene control for which the execution instruction is received (step S602).
When the control unit 62a of the control device 60a determines that the 1 st control information is included in the control information in step S602 (yes), the 1 st control information is read from the storage unit 66a (step S603). Next, the control unit 62a of the control device 60a outputs a 1 st control signal for controlling the 1 st apparatus 40 based on the 1 st control information read out in step S603 to the 1 st apparatus 40 via the communication unit 61 (step S604).
The 1 st device 40 acquires the 1 st control signal output from the control device 60a in step S404 (step S605), and operates in accordance with the acquired 1 st control signal (step S606).
The control unit 62a of the control device 60a outputs the instruction for executing the scene control received in step S601 to the gateway 20a via the communication unit 61 (step S607), and the gateway 20a outputs the acquired instruction for executing the scene control to the control server 30 via the 2 nd communication unit 22 (step S608).
If the information processing unit 32 of the control server 30 acquires the execution instruction of the scene control relayed by the gateway 20a in step S608 by the acquisition unit 34 (step S609), the 2 nd control information on the control of the 2 nd device 50 in the scene control is read out from the storage unit 33 based on the acquired execution instruction (step S610).
Next, the execution unit 35 of the information processing unit 32 of the control server 30 outputs a 2 nd control signal for controlling the 2 nd device 50 based on the 2 nd control information read out in step S610 to the 2 nd device 50 via the communication unit 31 (step S611).
The 2 nd device 50 acquires the 2 nd control signal output from the control server 30 in step S611 (step S612), and operates in accordance with the acquired 2 nd control signal (step S613).
On the other hand, when the control unit 62a of the control device 60a determines in step S602 that the 1 st control information is not included in the control information (no), the execution instruction of the scene control is not output to the control server 30 via the gateway 20a (step S614). Next, the control system 100b performs steps S609 to S613 described above.
As described above, in the execution of the scene control, the control system 100b outputs the execution instruction via the gateway when the 1 st device 40 is included in the control object of the scene control, and outputs the execution instruction not via the gateway when the 1 st device 40 is not included in the control object of the scene control, as to the 2 nd device 50. This enables more rapid scene control.
[ Effect etc. ]
The control device 60a further includes an input receiving unit 63 for receiving an execution input, for example; if the execution input is received by the input receiving unit 63, it is determined whether or not the 1 st control information is included in the control information related to the scene control; in the case where it is determined that the 1 st control information is included in the control information, the 1 st device 40 is controlled based on the 1 st control information, and the execution input is output to the control server 30 via the gateway 20 a; when it is determined that the 1 st control information is not included in the control information, the execution input is not outputted to the control server 30 via the gateway 20 a.
According to the control system 100b, when the 1 st device 40 is included in the control target of the scene control, the 1 st device 40 can be controlled promptly. Thus, the control system 100b can quickly perform scene control without giving the user a sense of strangeness. Further, according to the control system 100b, in the case where the 1 st device 40 is not included in the object of the scene control, the control server 30 can obtain the execution instruction without going through the gateway 20a, so that the scene control can be executed more quickly.
Further, for example, the 1 st device 40 is a lighting device.
According to the control system 100b, it is possible to quickly control the operation of the device that is likely to give a sense of confusion to the user if there is a time lag from the input of the execution instruction of the operation to the operation, such as the lighting device.
