  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an air conditioning system 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

  In FIG. 1, an air conditioning system 1 includes a communication unit 7, a timer setting storage unit 8, an internal clock 9, a control unit 10, a summer time setting button 11, and a summer time determination unit 12, and a timer setting button. 4 and a centralized control device 5 having a timer setting function 6. The operation and action of the air conditioner configured as described above will be described below.

  The communication unit 7 transmits and receives various control signals (operation ON, operation OFF, timer setting, etc.) to and from the remote controller 3 and the centralized control device 5.

  The timer setting storage unit 8 stores timer setting information (operation ON at 9:00, operation OFF at 17:00, etc.) received by the communication unit 7.

  The control unit 10 compares the time information in the internal clock 9 and the timer setting storage unit 8 and controls the operation of the air conditioner 2.

  The summer time setting button 11 sets summer time information (summer time permission, daylight saving time prohibition).

  The summer time determination means 12 advances the time information in the timer setting storage unit 8 for a predetermined time (1 hour, 2 hours, etc.).

  In the air conditioning system 1 configured as described above, the summer time determination unit 12 advances the timer setting in the timer setting storage unit 8 by a predetermined time (1 hour, 2 hours, etc.) according to the state of the summer time setting button 11. .
