  As shown in FIG. 10, the constructed terminal device operating means 2h has display areas corresponding to connected terminal devices such as floor heating 2ca and 2cb and bathroom heating and drying 2cc to be displayed on the kitchen remote control display means 2c. Place necessary information and icons for operations on the area. Room names 2caa, 2cba, 2cca installed here, equipment names 2cab, 2cbb, 2ccb, 2cce installed, icons 2cac, 2cbc, 2ccc, 2ccf, icons that change color according to operation off / on Operation icons 2cad, 2cbd, 2ccd, and 2ccg for performing operations are arranged.

  Here, bathroom heating / drying is an example of an operating means capable of operating both the heating function and the drying function, and when the heating function is turned on, it is controlled to be turned off when the drying function is turned on. Conversely, when the drying function is turned on, the heating function is turned off when the heating function is turned on. The operation icon is operated by using the kitchen remote control operation means 2b and moving the cursor with the movement button 2be to match the operation icon to be operated and pressing the enter button 2bf.

  A button to be generated on the screen is assigned to one of the connected terminal devices, and when the button is operated, the operation content is transmitted to the heat source device 4 through the heat source device control communication means 22, and the heat source device 4 receives the content. The operation content is transmitted to the terminal device assigned through the device communication means 23, and the operation of the device is changed based on the content received by the terminal device.

  In this embodiment, instead of installing a floor heating remote controller, the kitchen remote controller 2 is configured with the function of the floor heating remote controller so that the floor heating function can be operated from the kitchen remote controller 2. It has been abolished. By eliminating the floor heating remote controller, the number of remote controllers installed on the wall surface can be reduced, and a system that can take into account interior design can be realized.

  As described above, this is because a dedicated cable is inserted into the connector of the heat source unit 4 so that the heat source unit 4 recognizes it as a floor heater controlled by the kitchen remote controller 2, and the kitchen remote controller 2 uses the information as connection information. It can be received from the heat source machine 4 through the machine control communication means 22.

  In the kitchen remote controller 2, the operation means constituting means 2 i constitutes necessary operation means according to the connection information received from the heat source unit 4. The terminal device operation screen shown in FIG. 10 shows operation means when there is a floor heater that does not have the floor heating remote controller of this embodiment. On the operation means screen 2c, operation means 2ca, 2cb and 2cc of three terminal devices are displayed. Among these, 2ca on the left end is a floor heater that performs all operations from the kitchen remote controller 2 after the floor heating remote controller has been abolished, that is, the operation means of the second floor heater 6, and the area of the operation means is displayed darkly. It is displayed so that it can be distinguished from the terminal. Further, a floor heating temperature icon 2cd for operating the floor heating temperature and a floor heating timer icon 2ce for operating the timer are arranged side by side at the lower left of the operation means. These two icons are displayed only when the floor heating remote controller is abolished and a floor heating device that performs all operations from the kitchen remote controller 2 is connected, and the temperature and timer of the second floor heater 6 are displayed. Perform the operation.

  When the floor heating temperature icon 2cd is pressed, a temperature change screen 2cda that is an operation state selection unit shown in FIG. 11 is displayed. In this operation means, when the temperature increase icon 2cdd is selected, the temperature is increased by one step, and when the temperature decrease icon 2cde is selected, the temperature is decreased by one step. The result of the operation is reflected in the temperature bar 2cdc, and the set state is displayed with the shading of the bar. The temperature change screen 2cda also displays a preset name 2cdb of the heating device.

  When the floor heating timer icon 2ce is selected, a timer setting screen 2cea which is timer setting means shown in FIG. 12 is displayed. The timer has two timers, timer 1 and timer 2, each of which can be set to turn off time and on time. For example, in order to set the on time of the timer 1, the timer 1 on time setting cancel icon 2cei is selected on the timer 1 screen to be in a selected state, and the timer 1 on time decreasing icon 2cej or the timer 1 on time is set. Select the increase icon 2sek to change the set time. In the set state, the timer 1 is turned on at the time displayed on the timer 1 on time display 2 ceh, and in the released state, the timer operation is not performed at the set time.

  Similarly, the time-off time is also set using the timer 1 time-off setting cancel icon 2cen, the timer 1 time-off time decrease icon 2ceo, the timer 1 time-off time increase icon 2cep, and the timer 1 time-off time display 2cem. In addition to the time display, the setting state is displayed so that the timer 1 and the timer 2 can be recognized at the same time in the graphic display 2ced, so that the on state and the off state can be distinguished, and the timer operation to be performed next in the notification area 2cef is performed. Displayed with time. Other icons include a timer 2 display icon 2ceq for displaying a screen for operating the timer 2, and a return icon 2cef for returning to the operation screen 2ca of the terminal device. The screen display includes a title 2ceb, a floor There is a name 2cec of the heating device, and the latter displays the same name as the name 2cab displayed on the operation screen 2ca of the terminal device.

  In the kitchen remote control 2, the control signal is transmitted from the heat source device communication means 2i to the heat source device communication means 22 in order to reflect the operation result based on the operation result of the temperature change screen 2cda and the timer setting screen 2cea by the floor heating control means 2j. Send to heat source machine.

  Next, FIGS. 13 to 19 show flowcharts when the operating means configuring means 2i configures the terminal device operating means 2h.

  In FIG. 13, first, a communication telegram is transmitted from the kitchen remote controller 2 to the heat source unit 4 (51), and it is checked whether or not a communication with the heat source unit is established by returning a received telegram from the heat source unit 4 (52). If communication cannot be established and communication with the heat source unit 4 cannot be established, the process proceeds to the non-connection setting (53). If communication is established and communication with the heat source unit 4 is possible, connection to the connection setting (56). move on. When proceeding to the connection setting, check whether the connection setting is made (54), and if the connection setting is made, check whether the setting is consistent with the actual connection state. In order to do this, confirmation of the setting at the time of non-connection (55) is performed and necessary processing is performed.

  In the non-connection setting (53), as shown in FIG. 14, first, the non-connection setting is displayed (53b) on the display means 2c of the kitchen remote controller 2, and the number of terminal devices to be connected next is input. (53c), a list of the number of input terminals is displayed (53d), and the type of the terminal device and information necessary for operating the terminal device are input to this list. The list is configured in the order of the number of the connector of the heat source machine, and a necessary process is selected here (53e). To input necessary information, first select the number (terminal number) of the connector to be input (53i, 53g) to display the processing selection screen of the device connected to the connector (53h), and according to the operator's selection there Device type selection (53j), device ID input (53k), installation room selection (53l), icon to be displayed (53m), display position for displaying the operation means (53n) The non-connection setting information is updated for each setting (53p).

  When the input is completed for each terminal, the enter button is pressed to return to the device list display process selection (53e) (53o). In the device list process selection (53e), in addition to the above-described terminal number selection, there is a preview function for confirming how the operation means of each terminal is displayed. The terminal device operating means 2h can be displayed and confirmed (53m).

  If the correction is made by the preview, each setting is corrected again from the terminal number selection (53g), and if the correction is unnecessary, the preview is closed, and the process selection (53i) is selected to end and the non-connection setting is ended ( 53f).

  As shown in FIG. 15, first, the connection terminal information acquisition (55b) is performed from the heat source unit, and the confirmation at the time of non-connection (55 in FIG. 13) performed when the non-connection setting is made at the time of connection. The connector 1 of the machine is designated (55c), and the mismatch is confirmed (57). Here, if the terminal device is not actually connected to the terminal number set in the display setting by checking whether the terminal device is actually connected to the connector number of the terminal device set in the disconnected setting Or, it is detected as a mismatch when the terminal device is connected even though it is not set in the display settings. Then, the process proceeds to the next connector (55d), and when the confirmation of all the connectors for confirming the mismatch is completed (55e), if there is no mismatch at all terminals, the process is terminated (55h), and at least one If there is a mismatch (55f), the display means 2c of the kitchen remote controller 2 displays that there is a terminal that does not match as a whole, and the process is terminated.

  In the connection setting (56 in FIG. 13), as shown in FIG. 16, first, the display means 2c of the kitchen remote controller 2 displays that the connection setting is established (56b), and communicates with the heat source unit 4 to communicate the heat source. Information on the presence / absence of a terminal device connected to the machine 4 is acquired (56c). If there is no terminal device (56d), a message to that effect is output (56e), and the process ends, and the terminal device is connected. For example, the connection information of each terminal device is acquired by acquiring the terminal device detailed information (56f).

  The details of the connection detailed information acquired here are the connector number of the heat source unit that is the connection position information, presence / absence of terminal device connection for each number, presence / absence of remote control for terminal device, presence / absence of cooling function, presence / absence of drying function, terminal device Identification ID unique to the model or device, information on the temperature of the hot water used by the terminal, a code indicating whether or not the test operation has been completed, and the date of connection. The contents of the connection information are shown in (Table 1).

次に、専用リモコン無端末処理（５８）に進み、取得した接続情報のうち専用リモコンの有無の情報を用いて、専用リモコン無の端末機器が接続されている場合の処理を行う。すなわち、床暖房リモコンなど専用リモコンがない端末機器では、情報端末がその全ての制御を司り、さらに温度選択、タイマー操作など専用リモコンの持つ機能を全て情報端末から操作可能にする必要があり、これらの機能を操作するアイコンと関連付けるために表示手段のあらかじめ決められた位置、本実施例では端末機器の表示画面の左側に配置されるようにしている。

Next, the process proceeds to the dedicated remote control no-terminal process (58), and the process when the terminal device without the dedicated remote control is connected is performed using the information on the presence / absence of the dedicated remote control in the acquired connection information. In other words, in a terminal device that does not have a dedicated remote control, such as a floor heating remote control, the information terminal is in charge of all the controls, and all functions of the dedicated remote control, such as temperature selection and timer operation, must be operable from the information terminal. In this embodiment, the display means is arranged on the left side of the display screen of the terminal device in order to associate the function with the icon for operating.

  FIG. 18 shows the details of the dedicated remote control no-terminal process. First, connector number 1 is designated (58b) and the presence / absence of a dedicated remote controller is confirmed (58c). If there is no terminal with a dedicated remote controller, the fact that there is no terminal with a dedicated remote controller is stored (58d). If it is the first device, the display position is fixed at the left end (58f) of the display screen of the terminal device, and if it is the second device, the display position is fixed second from the left (58g). In this embodiment, since it is possible to connect up to two terminals without a dedicated remote controller, further considerations are unnecessary and ignored, but there may be three or more dedicated remote controllers. In this case, for example, the display position is fixed nth from the left.

  Then, the next connector number is designated (58h), and the processes 58c to 58h are performed for the number of connectable connectors. When the number of connectors is exceeded, the process proceeds to the next process (58i). If there is a terminal without a dedicated remote control stored in 58d, if there is a terminal without a dedicated remote control (58j), an icon for setting the floor warming temperature and the floor warming timer is displayed at the lower left of the display screen of the terminal device (58k) In this case, the process is terminated without displaying.

  With this configuration, when there is a terminal device that does not have a dedicated floor heating remote controller, an operation means for operating the terminal device ON / OFF, an icon for opening a screen for setting a temperature, an icon for opening a screen for setting a timer, Can be collected in the vicinity of the screen, making it easy to understand and use.

  Next, a list of terminal devices is displayed (56g in FIG. 16) in the same manner as when not connected. Here, it is confirmed whether there is a mismatch between the terminal devices (56h), and if there is a mismatch even with one terminal device, it is displayed on the display means 2c of the kitchen remote controller 2 to notify that there is a mismatched terminal (56i). The confirmation of inconsistency here is to check whether there is a mismatch in the type of terminal device between the display setting made in the non-connection setting and the actually connected terminal device. Whether it is a low-temperature terminal, a bathroom heater / dryer, and whether it has a cooling function. Next, the terminal device type and information necessary for operating the terminal device are input to the displayed list. The list is configured in the order of the number of the connector of the heat source machine, and the necessary processing is selected here (56j).

  To input necessary information, first select the terminal number of the connector to be input (56k), display the processing screen of the device connected to the connector (56l), select the type of device (56m), and install it. The room is selected (56n), the icon to be displayed is selected (56o), the display position for displaying the operation means is selected (59), the non-connection setting information is updated for each setting (56r), and further settings are made. A mismatch confirmation (57) for confirming whether or not there is a mismatch between the content and the connected device is performed. If there is a mismatch, a mismatch is displayed and the process selection (56l) is returned. When the input is completed for each terminal, the determination button is pressed to return to the mismatch determination (56h) of all terminals again, and after the determination of mismatch, the process returns to the device list display process selection (56j) (56q).

  In the selection of the display position (59), a terminal device without a dedicated remote controller is fixed at a position displayed on the display means so that it cannot be moved, and only the other terminal devices operate the display position selection screen to operate the terminal. The display position of the operation means for each device can be changed. Since there is a terminal in which the position of the operating means is determined in advance, the position restricts the movement of the operating means so that other terminal devices do not occupy that position.

  Details of the display position selection processing are shown in FIG. First, it is determined whether or not the movement source is a terminal whose display position is fixed (59b). If it is a fixed terminal, the process proceeds to the end (59r) without processing. If the terminal is not a fixed terminal, first, the display area 1 is designated and it is determined whether or not it is a movable area in order (59c). The area that can be designated as the movement destination is a position where the fixed display position terminal is not displayed (59d), a position not exceeding the required display area calculated from the number of connected terminals (59e), and an inconvenience after the movement These positions satisfy all of the positions (59f) where no occurrence occurs, these positions are defined as movable areas (59g), and positions other than these are defined as non-movable areas (59h).

  If it is determined for each display area whether it is a movable area or a non-movable area, the next area is designated (59i). When the display area is completed, the movable area is displayed on the display screen, and processing is executed by selecting an icon. (59k).

  Here, the display position selection screen 2cf of the present embodiment is shown in FIG. In the figure, there are a title 2cfb, a moveable / impossible area display portion 2cfc, a return icon 2cfd, a left move icon 2cfe, a right move icon 2cff, and a confirmation icon 2cfg on the screen background 2cfa. In the moveable / impossible region display portion 2cfc, An immovable display 2cfca, a movable display 2cfcb, and a cursor 2cfcc are displayed so as to be distinguishable for each display. The cursor 2cfcc moves to the right on the movable display 2cfcb by the right movement icon 2cff (59l in FIG. 19), and moves to the left on the movable display 2cfcb by the left movement icon 2cfe (59m). When the confirmation icon 2cfg is selected (59n), the display area is fixed at the cursor position, the display terminal of the movement source and the movement destination is exchanged (59p), and the process is terminated (59r).

On the other hand, when the return icon 2cfd is selected (59o), the moving process is not performed, the original display state is restored regardless of the cursor position (59q), and the process is terminated (59r). As a result, only the movable destination can be moved.
For example, in the case of a bathroom heating / drying machine, the position where no inconvenience occurs after the movement occupies two display areas in order to enable two operations of drying and heating. However, if the right end is set as the destination, it cannot be displayed correctly. In the present embodiment, it is not possible to set as a movement destination at a position where it cannot be displayed correctly.

  In addition to the above terminal number selection, the device list process selection screen (56h in FIG. 16) has a preview function in order to check how the operation means of each terminal is displayed. Thereby, the operation means can be displayed and confirmed (56s). If the correction is made by the preview, each setting is corrected again from the terminal number selection (56k). If the correction is unnecessary, the preview is closed and the process selection (56j) is selected to end (56t). When OK is selected after confirmation (56u), non-connection setting information is reflected in the connection setting information (56v), connection setting is terminated (56w), and processing is performed when No is selected in termination confirmation (56u). Returning to the selection (56j), the display setting can be continued.

  In addition, the mismatching process (57) performed in the confirmation at the time of non-connection (55 in FIG. 13) and the setting at the time of connection (56) is performed for each connector of the heat source unit.

  As shown in FIG. 17, first, it is confirmed whether or not a terminal device is connected to the target connector by terminal connection comparison (57b), and which device is connected to which connector among a plurality of connectors of the heat source device. Match or mismatch is confirmed from the connection position information indicating. It is a determination as to whether or not a correct connector is connected among the plurality of connectors, and it is confirmed whether or not the connector connection position obtained from the information acquired from the heat source device 2 and the display setting match.

  Here, there are a case where the display setting is made in the non-connection setting and the terminal device is actually connected, and a case where the display setting is not made in the non-connection setting and the terminal device is not actually connected. Proceed to terminal connection match (57c), assuming that they match.

  On the other hand, when the terminal device is not actually connected even though the display setting is made in the connection setting, and when the terminal device is actually connected even when the display setting is not made in the non-connection setting Is regarded as a mismatch and the process proceeds to a terminal connection mismatch (57d). These are processed as terminal connection match flags. In the case of terminal connection match, the terminal connection match flag = L, and in the case of mismatch, the terminal connection match flag = H.

  Next, the process is changed depending on the presence / absence of terminal connection (57e). If there is no terminal connection, the process proceeds to determination of whether or not there is a mismatch (57m), and if terminal connection is present, the process proceeds to terminal detailed information acquisition (57f).

  In the terminal device detailed information acquisition (57f), the terminal device connection information is acquired from the heat source device in the same manner as the terminal device detailed information acquisition (56f), and a mismatch is determined based on this information. First, the terminal type comparison (57g) confirms whether there is a mismatch between the content set in the non-connection display setting and the actually connected terminal. Here, a device to be connected to the low temperature terminal connection pipe is distinguished from a device to be connected to the high temperature terminal connection pipe, and it is confirmed whether or not the connection is correct.

  When the device to be connected to the low temperature terminal connection piping is set in the non-connection setting and the terminal is actually connected, and the device to be connected to the high temperature terminal connection piping is set in the non-connection setting and actually The case where the terminal is connected is regarded as being coincident, and the process proceeds to terminal type coincidence (57c).

  On the other hand, when a device that should be connected to the low-temperature terminal connection piping is set in the non-connection setting, but a terminal device that should actually be connected to the high-temperature terminal connection piping is connected, Although the device to be connected to the pipe is set, the case where the device to be connected to the low temperature terminal connection pipe is actually connected is regarded as a mismatch, and the process proceeds to the terminal type mismatch. These are processed as terminal type match flags. When the terminal types match, the terminal type match flag = L, and when they do not match, the terminal type match flag = H.

  Next, the process proceeds to terminal ID comparison (57j), and the terminal ID set in the non-connection display setting is compared with the terminal ID of the actually connected terminal device to check whether they match. The terminal ID is stored as information unique to the device, and by comparing this, the connection partner can be recognized more accurately. If the two match, the process proceeds to terminal ID match (57k), and if not, the process proceeds to terminal ID mismatch (57l). Here, it is also processed as a terminal ID match flag. When the terminal ID matches, the terminal ID match flag = L, and when it does not match, the terminal ID match flag = H.

  When the above processing is completed, a mismatch is determined for each terminal device (57m), and when there is a mismatch, a display indicating the mismatch for each terminal device is displayed on the display means 2c of the kitchen remote controller 2.

  With such a configuration, when there is a terminal device without a dedicated floor heating remote controller, operation means for operating ON / OFF of the terminal device, an icon for opening a temperature setting screen, and timer setting are performed. Since icons for opening the screen can be collected in the vicinity of the screen, and easy-to-use and easy-to-use operation means can be configured, an easy-to-use system can be configured.

  In addition, even if there are a plurality of terminal devices without a dedicated floor heating remote controller, the fixed position is determined according to the number, operation means for operating ON / OFF of the terminal device, an icon for opening a screen for setting the temperature, Since icons for opening a screen for setting a timer can be collected in the vicinity of the screen, and easy-to-understand and easy-to-use operation means can be configured, an easy-to-use system can be configured.

  In addition, when a terminal device with a fixed display position is connected, the operation unit of other terminal devices cannot be moved to the fixed position, thereby relating to an operation unit that performs various operations of the terminal device. The operation means of other terminal devices is not configured at the position, and the ease of operation can be maintained.

  In addition, when recognizing a terminal device having no operation means other than the kitchen remote controller that is an information terminal, the kitchen remote controller has an operation means that enables operations for setting terminal devices such as a floor warming temperature icon and a floor warming timer icon. By configuring, the operation means for operating various functions of the terminal device is configured when the terminal device that requires the operation is recognized, so the operation means for performing the necessary operation when necessary is configured. it can.

  In addition, the operation means configured when recognizing a terminal device having no operation means other than the kitchen remote controller that is an information terminal is an operation state selection means for setting the operation state of the terminal equipment such as a floor heating temperature setting. In the case of a terminal device having a plurality of operation states, the operation state selection means for setting the operation state of the terminal device based on the connection information received from the resource supply means is configured as the operation means. Even if it is only a terminal, the several operating state of a terminal device can be switched from an information terminal.

  In addition, by setting the operation means configured when recognizing a terminal device having no operation means other than the kitchen remote controller as an information terminal as a timer setting means for setting a time for controlling the operation of the terminal equipment, the set timer Since the timer function for turning the driving on or off in accordance with the time can be operated from the information terminal, the timer function can be used even if the means for operating the terminal device is only the information terminal.

  In the above-described embodiment, the driving state selection unit and the timer setting unit are described as the operation units to be configured. However, a lock function that locks the operation of the terminal device may be used. As a result, it is possible to operate from the information terminal the locking means that prevents the terminal device from being accidentally operated when the terminal device is not used for a long period of time, so that the resource supply that can use the locking means even if the terminal device is operated only by the information terminal A system can be provided.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, the operation means of the bathroom heating dryer 7 comprised by the kitchen remote control 2 can operate both a heating function and a drying function. This is realized by using information on the presence or absence of the drying function in the connection information acquired from the heat source device 4 shown in (Table 1). In this way, by using the connection information of the heat source device 4, the operation means configuring means configures an operation means that operates by switching at least two operation modes including a heating operation and a drying operation. An operation means that can be operated by switching at least two functions of a heating function and a drying function of the machine can be configured, and a plurality of functions of the terminal device can be operated.

  Furthermore, it is also possible to configure an operation means that can operate the two functions of heating and cooling using the information on the presence or absence of the cooling function in the connection information. In this way, when the terminal device is an air conditioner, the operation means constituting means constitutes an operation means for switching and operating at least two operation modes including heating operation and cooling operation, thereby providing a heating function possessed by the air conditioner. An operation means that can be operated by switching at least two functions of the cooling function can be configured, and a plurality of functions of the terminal device can be operated.

  As described above, the terminal device has an operation mode such as heating, plural, and cooling such as the bathroom heater / dryer 7 and the air conditioner, and the operation means configured in the information terminal 2 includes the terminal device such as the heating function and the drying function of the heating dryer. By performing an operation for changing the plurality of operation modes, it is possible to configure an operation means for switching and operating a plurality of functions of the terminal device, and to operate a plurality of functions of the terminal device.

  As described above, since the operation means adapted to the function of the terminal device can be configured in the kitchen remote controller that is the information terminal based on the connection information of the terminal device possessed by the heat source machine that is the resource supply means, each terminal device is connected to the information terminal. It is possible to configure operation means for operating various functions that are individually provided, and an easy-to-use hot water supply / heating system can be configured.

  The input and correction of the operation means by the above 53i to 53n and 56l to 56p are selected from the contents stored in advance in the storage means when it is desired to correct the display position, icon, or device name set in the automatic setting routine. The display can be changed.

  If there is information stored in advance for both the non-connection setting and the connection setting, the device type, device ID, room name, icon, and display position are stored based on the stored information. The operation means 53n and 56l to 56p are input by correcting the stored contents.

  In the resource supply system according to the present embodiment, the mismatched terminal devices cannot be operated from the kitchen remote controller 2, but the mismatched operation means may be deleted. By erasing, it is possible to ensure that the operation cannot be performed, and unnecessary displays can be deleted.

  In addition, even if there is a mismatch, the information terminal may replace the mismatched terminal device to find a combination that eliminates the mismatch and correct the combination. This modification is useful when the connector to be connected is changed from the originally planned connector for construction reasons. For example, when a terminal is not connected at the time of connection to a connector corresponding to the operation means set in the non-connection setting, and a terminal device having the same terminal type and terminal ID is connected to another connector Can be corrected automatically. Thus, even if there is a mismatch, it can be configured as an appropriate operation device of the terminal device.

  In the resource supply system of this embodiment, an SD card is used as the external storage means 2g. However, necessary data can be copied and taken out from the information terminal, and this can be copied to other information terminals. As long as the external storage means can be used, other means such as a floppy (R) disk and an MO may be used instead of the SD card.

  Moreover, in the resource supply system of the present embodiment, the two types of communication means of the heat source machine control communication means 22 and the information communication means 10 are described separately, but these are physically used by using the same line. It is good also as a structure which isolate | separates and communicates by a frequency, time, a packet, etc.

  In addition, the resource supply system of the present embodiment is described as an example of a kitchen remote controller, a floor heater, and a bathroom heater of a hot-water heating system, but electricity, hot water, gas, water, etc. are used at home, in an office, etc. Any system can be applied as long as the system can remotely control the terminal device in the system to be supplied.

  The resource supply system described in the above embodiment constitutes operation means for operating the terminal device from the information terminal in a system that supplies and uses not only hot water but also resources such as electric power, gas, and hydropower to the terminal device. Can provide an easy-to-use resource supply system.

  Note that the means described in this embodiment causes hardware resources such as a CPU (or microcomputer), a RAM, a ROM, a storage / recording device, an electrical / information device including an I / O, a computer, a server, and the like to cooperate. You may implement with the form of a program. In the form of a program, new functions can be easily distributed / updated and installed by recording them on a recording medium such as magnetic media or optical media or distributing them via a communication line such as the Internet.

  As described above, the resource supply system and the program thereof according to the present invention can configure an operation means for operating various functions of the terminal device individually in the information terminal, and an easy-to-use resource supply system.
