以下、添付図面を参照して、本発明の実施形態に係る家電機器遠隔制御システムを説明する。図１は、同方式において電源タップ側の構成を示す。図１を参照して、電源タップ側では電源タップ１０を備える。この電源タップ１０は、商用電源に接続されるＡＣプラグ１２と、ＡＣプラグ１２を一端側に備えた電源コード１４と、電源コード１４の他端側に接続されかつＡＣプラグ１２から電源コード１４を介して供給されてくる電源が分配される複数のコンセント口１６ａ−１６ｄを有するタップ本体１８と、を備える。   Hereinafter, a home appliance remote control system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the power tap side in the same system. Referring to FIG. 1, a power strip 10 is provided on the power strip side. The power strip 10 includes an AC plug 12 connected to a commercial power source, a power cord 14 provided with the AC plug 12 on one end side, and a power cord 14 connected to the other end side of the power cord 14 and connected to the AC plug 12. And a tap main body 18 having a plurality of outlets 16a-16d to which power supplied through the distribution is distributed.

タップ本体１８は、電力線上で電力線搬送通信でデータを送信したり、電力からデータを分離したりする電力線通信モデム２０と、電力線通信モデム２０により分離されたデータが含む制御プログラムデータに応答してコンセント口１６ａ−１６ｄに接続された機器に対して電源オンオフを制御するプログラマブルコントローラ２２と、ＡＣプラグ１２の電力線から供給される交流を直流に変換して電力線通信モデム２０とプログラマブルコントローラ２２にその電源として供給するＡＣ／ＤＣ電源２４と、パーソナルコンピュータ２８のＵＳＢコネクタが接続されるイーサネット（登録商標）インターフェース２６と、を備える。   The tap main body 18 responds to control program data included in the data separated by the power line communication modem 20 and the power line communication modem 20 that transmits data by power line carrier communication on the power line and separates data from the power. A programmable controller 22 that controls power on / off for the devices connected to the outlets 16a to 16d, and an alternating current supplied from the power line of the AC plug 12 is converted to a direct current to supply power to the power line communication modem 20 and the programmable controller 22. And an Ethernet (registered trademark) interface 26 to which a USB connector of the personal computer 28 is connected.

パーソナルコンピュータ２８はプログラマブルコントローラ２２によりコンセント口１６ａから電源オンされると、電力線搬送通信に含まれるデータに応答することができる。   When the personal computer 28 is powered on from the outlet port 16a by the programmable controller 22, it can respond to data included in the power line carrier communication.

タップ本体１８のコンセント口１６ｂ−１６ｄには、パーソナルコンピュータ２８のＡＣプラグ３０、電気ストーブ５０、アイロン５２、電気コタツ５４それぞれのＡＣプラグ５０ａ、５２ａ，５４ａが差込接続されている。   The AC plugs 50a, 52a, 54a of the AC plug 30, the electric stove 50, the iron 52, and the electric kotatsu 54 of the personal computer 28 are plugged into the outlets 16b-16d of the tap main body 18, respectively.

次に図２を参照してプログラマブルコントローラ２２を説明する。   Next, the programmable controller 22 will be described with reference to FIG.

プログラマブルコントローラ２２は、コンセント口１６ａ−１６ｄそれぞれに接続されたパーソナルコンピュータ２８、電気ストーブ５０、アイロン５２、電気コタツ５４それぞれからの動作電流を取り込むＡＣ出力部２２ａと、このＡＣ出力部２２ａで取り込んだ動作電流を検出する電流検出回路２２ｂと、この電流検出回路２２ｂで検出した電流値をＡ／Ｄ変換するＡ／Ｄ変換部２２ｃと、このＡ／Ｄ変換部２２ｃの出力からパーソナルコンピュータ２８、電気ストーブ５０、アイロン５２、電気コタツ５４の各家電機器のセットアップ時の動作電流をセットアップ情報として記録するＣＰＵ２２ｄとを有する。   The programmable controller 22 takes in the operating current from the personal computer 28, the electric stove 50, the iron 52, and the electric kotatsu 54 connected to the outlets 16a to 16d, and the AC output unit 22a. A current detection circuit 22b that detects an operating current, an A / D conversion unit 22c that performs A / D conversion on the current value detected by the current detection circuit 22b, and an output from the A / D conversion unit 22c CPU 22d which records the operating current at the time of setup of each household appliances of stove 50, iron 52, and electric kotatsu 54 as setup information.

セットアップ情報は、コンセント口に接続されている家電機器の種類とそれらの動作電流とを対応付けて図３で示すように記録した情報である。図３ではコンセント口１６ａが□印内の符号１に対応し、コンセント口１６ｂが□印内の符号２に対応し、コンセント口１６ｃが□印内の符号３に対応し、コンセント口１６ｄが□印内の符号４に対応する。そして、これらにそれぞれの動作電流（Ｌｏａｄ）がユーザ−操作で対応付けられている。また、これら動作電流と家電機器との対応付けはユーザ−操作でＣＰＵ２２ｄに記録される。また、その動作電流と家電機器との対応を示す図３のデータはパーソナルコンピュータ２８の表示画面に図４で示すようにコンフィグレーション画面に表示される。   The setup information is information recorded as shown in FIG. 3 in association with the types of home appliances connected to the outlet and their operating currents. In FIG. 3, the outlet port 16a corresponds to the reference numeral 1 in the □ mark, the outlet port 16b corresponds to the reference numeral 2 in the □ mark, the outlet port 16c corresponds to the reference numeral 3 in the □ mark, and the outlet port 16d corresponds to the □. This corresponds to reference numeral 4 in the mark. Each of the operating currents (Load) is associated with these by a user operation. The association between the operating current and the home appliance is recorded in the CPU 22d by a user operation. Further, the data of FIG. 3 showing the correspondence between the operating current and the home electric appliance is displayed on the display screen of the personal computer 28 on the configuration screen as shown in FIG.

図４で示すコンフィグレーション画面は電源タップのタップ番号である「タップ１」、その「タップ１」の電源タップにおけるコンセント口番号と共にそのコンセント口に接続している家電機器の名称「１ ＰＣ ２ 電気ストーブ ３ アイロン ４ 電気コタツ」と、それぞれの家電機器に流れる負荷電流（Ｌｏａｄ）とを表示する画面構成になっている。   The configuration screen shown in FIG. 4 is “Tap 1”, which is the tap number of the power tap, and the name “1 PC 2 Electric” of the household appliance connected to the outlet port together with the outlet number of the power tap of “Tap 1”. It has a screen configuration for displaying “Stove 3 Iron 4 Electric Kotatsu” and load current (Load) flowing through each home appliance.

このコンフィグレーション画面のデータは、電力線通信モデム２０を通じて電力線搬送通信でネットワーク経由でインターネット等で外出先の携帯電話、ＰＤＡ、モバイル機器で表示し、外出先からはそのコンフィグレーション画面から電力線搬送通信で電源タップ側の電源タップ１０に送信し、これによりその電源タップ１０のプログラマブルコントローラ２２により家電機器の電源の消し忘れ等の制御をすることが可能となる。   The data on the configuration screen is displayed on the mobile phone, PDA, and mobile device on the go by the power line communication modem 20 via the network via the power line communication modem 20, and from the configuration screen on the power line carrier communication. This is transmitted to the power strip 10 on the power strip side, so that the programmable controller 22 of the power strip 10 can perform control such as forgetting to turn off the home appliance.

上記の場合、例えば電気ストーブ５０が初期設定ではコンセント口１６ｂに接続されてコンセント口１６ｂに対応するセットアップ情報が２Ａであるとした場合、電気ストーブ５０が別のコンセント口に接続されても、そのセットアップ情報から電気ストーブ５０が接続されるコンセント口をプログラマブルコントローラ２２のＣＰＵ２２ｄは認識することができ、その電源供給の電源をオンオフ制御することができるようになっている。   In the above case, for example, when the electric stove 50 is connected to the outlet 16b in the initial setting and the setup information corresponding to the outlet 16b is 2A, even if the electric stove 50 is connected to another outlet, The CPU 22d of the programmable controller 22 can recognize the outlet port to which the electric stove 50 is connected from the setup information, and can turn on / off the power supply of the power supply.

なお、上記記録されたセットアップ情報にて異常電流や負荷電流の情報をコンフィグレーション画面に表示可能とする一方で、異常電流の場合には電源を自動的に切る等の制御を行うようにしてもよい。   While it is possible to display abnormal current and load current information on the configuration screen using the recorded setup information, in the case of abnormal current, control such as automatically turning off the power may be performed. Good.
