  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 an air conditioner including an indoor humidity sensor 6, an indoor humidity detection means 7, an indoor humidity sensor abnormality detection means 8, an indoor adoption humidity determination means 9, a control unit 10, and a communication means 11. 2 and a remote controller 3 having a remote controller built-in humidity sensor 4 and a remote controller humidity detecting means 5. The operation and effect of the air conditioning system configured as described above will be described below.

  The remote control built-in humidity sensor 4 outputs a resistance value (15 kΩ or the like) corresponding to the indoor humidity near the remote control.

  The remote controller humidity detection means 5 detects the humidity in the vicinity of the remote controller (50% or the like) from the resistance value output from the remote sensor built-in humidity sensor 4.

  The indoor humidity sensor 6 outputs a resistance value (15 kΩ or the like) corresponding to the indoor humidity.

  The indoor humidity detection means 7 detects the indoor humidity (50%, etc.) from the resistance value output from the indoor humidity sensor 6.

  The indoor humidity sensor abnormality detection means 8 detects whether the indoor humidity detected by the indoor humidity detection means 7 is an abnormal value (sensor open, sensor short, etc.).

  The indoor adopted humidity determining means 9 determines the indoor humidity to be adopted in the operation control of the air conditioner.

  The control unit 10 controls the operation of the air conditioner 2 based on the indoor humidity and the humidity setting (40%, etc.) determined by the indoor adopted humidity determining means 9.

  The communication unit 11 transmits and receives various control signals (operation ON, operation OFF, timer setting, etc.) with the remote controller 3.

In the air conditioning system 1 configured as described above, when the indoor humidity sensor abnormality detecting means 8 detects an abnormality of the indoor humidity sensor 6, the indoor adopted humidity determining means 9 receives the indoor adopted humidity from the remote controller. Switch to humidity.

  Therefore, it is possible to perform an emergency operation according to the user's humidity setting request, and to reduce the user's discomfort during the emergency operation.
