  The home appliance control system 10 according to the present embodiment has a function (outing mode) for monitoring the energy consumption state when going out and notifying when going home by cooperation of the energy measurement / display device 12 and the security control device 14. ).

  Here, the flow of operations performed in the in-house device control system 10 from the transition to the outing mode to the transition to the home mode after the outing mode is canceled will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a flow of operations performed by the in-house device control system 10 in the flow from going out to returning home.

  In the outing mode, the “outing mode” setting operation is performed by the electronic key authentication unit as shown in FIG. That is, the electronic key 32 is authenticated by the electronic key authenticating unit 26 provided in the entrance door 24 and locked. Then, the electronic key authentication unit 26 is made to recognize the electronic key 32 again, thereby shifting to the outing mode. Specifically, when the user goes out, the electronic key 32 is held over the electronic key authenticating unit 26, the electronic key authenticating unit 26 performs authentication, and the entrance door 24 is locked. Is moved over to the electronic key authentication unit 26 to shift to the outing mode.

  Subsequently, the security control device 14 collates the electronic key and switches from the “home mode” to the “outing mode”. Note that the outing mode of the security control device 14 monitors the state of the window crescent sensor 28 and the thumb turn sensor 30, and when an abnormality occurs, a predetermined operation (for example, reporting a suspicious person intrusion to a security company) Informing the resident's portable information terminal 40 that there is an abnormality, etc.).

  In addition, the energy measuring / displaying device 12 shifts to the outing mode by using the information indicating that the entrance door 24 is locked from the security control device 14 as a trigger. When the energy measurement / display device 12 shifts to the outing mode, the energy consumption is started to be accumulated by various sensors (power consumption detection sensor, gas sensor 20, and water sensor 22 provided in the distribution board 18). The detection results of energy consumption by various sensors are output to the energy measurement / display device 12 as needed and stored in the memory 64 or the like.

  While going out, when the energy measurement / display device 12 is in a certain period of time after going out, or when the energy consumption detected by the various sensors becomes a stable value after going out, the measured values by various sensors are The data is transmitted to the portable information terminal 40 owned by the resident through the router 34, the Internet 36, and the service center 38. Accordingly, by confirming the measurement value transmitted to the portable information terminal 40, it is possible to assist in noticing that the device is forgotten to be turned off.

  In addition, the value when the energy consumption is stable is stored as a log, and the average value of the stored log, the lowest value of the actual result, the measured value in the previous outing mode, etc. are calculated as normal values and stable. Comparison value (average value of log, minimum value of actual results, measurement value in previous outing mode, etc.) and current measurement value so that it can be determined whether or not the energy consumption at the time is higher than the normal value May be transmitted to the portable information terminal 40, or the current measured value together with a predetermined reference value may be transmitted to the portable information terminal 40 to determine whether the energy consumption is greater than the reference value. You may do it.

  In addition, the energy measuring / displaying device 12 monitors the energy consumption during the going-out mode while going out, and when a change of a predetermined value or more occurs, the mobile information terminal 40 owned by the resident is in the same manner as described above. Information indicating that there has been a change in energy consumption is transmitted. Thereby, for example, it is possible to confirm whether or not the device set with the timer is operating normally, whether or not the pet air conditioner is operating normally without failure, and the like.

  Next, when the user goes home, the electronic key authentication unit 26 authenticates the electronic key 32, so that the security control device 14 shifts from the “outing mode” to the “home mode”. That is, when the outing mode is canceled, the electronic key authentication unit 26 acquires information such as an ID from the electronic key 32 and the security control device 14 performs authentication to unlock the entrance door. As a result, the security control device 14 shifts from the outing mode to the home mode. When unlocked, the security control device 14 transmits information indicating the unlocking to the energy measurement / display device 12.

  When the security control device 14 shifts to the home mode and information indicating that the security control device 14 has been released is output from the security control device 14, the energy measurement / display device 12 stops and displays the accumulation of energy consumption in the “outing mode” The cumulative value during the “outing mode” is displayed on the part 60. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the power consumption during the outing mode may be displayed for each predetermined division of the house, or the power consumption for each hour may be displayed as shown in FIG. May be. By measuring and displaying the energy consumption for each section as shown in FIG. 4, it becomes easy to specify the generation source of waste energy consumption while going out, and the energy consumption for each time is displayed as shown in FIG. 5. In this case, it becomes possible to inform the resident of the energy consumption for each hour.

  The display shown in FIG. 5 may be switched by operating the “total display switching” button shown in FIG. 5 may be provided with a “display switching” button to switch to FIG. 4 and 5 show an example of displaying power consumption, but as energy consumption, in addition to power consumption, consumption such as gas and water may be displayed, and a target to be displayed is set. The energy consumption according to the setting may be displayed as possible.

  That is, the residential equipment control system 10 according to the present embodiment applies energy consumption to the entire building during the period indicated by the arrow in FIG. Are stored for each area) and stored in the memory 64 or the like, and the accumulated value of the energy consumption stored at the time of going home is displayed.

  Next, when at home, the resident checks the accumulated value on the energy measurement / display device 12, and then operates the “Confirm” or “Exit mode” button to display the “Home mode” display from the “Out mode” display. Switch to For example, when the “outing mode release” button in FIG. 4 is touched, the energy measurement / display device 12 shifts to the home mode, and the consumption energy at home is monitored.

  Next, a specific process performed by the energy measurement / display device 12 of the in-home equipment control system 10 according to the present embodiment configured as described above will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing performed by the energy measurement / display device 12 when the outing mode is shifted in the in-home equipment control system 10 according to the present embodiment.

In the present embodiment, the electronic key authentication unit 26 acquires information such as an ID from the electronic key 32 and the security control device 14 performs authentication. As a result, after the authentication is successful and the entrance door 24 is locked, the electronic key Since the outing mode switching instruction is output to the energy measurement / display device 12 when 32 is recognized again and shifts to the outing mode, the determination is made as to whether or not the outing mode switching instruction is issued from the security control device 14. . The process waits until the determination is affirmed and proceeds to step 102.

  In step 102, the energy accumulation is analyzed by switching to the outing mode. That is, the energy measuring / displaying device 12 starts accumulation of energy consumption by various sensors (power consumption detection sensor provided on the distribution board 18, gas sensor 20, water sensor 22), and energy consumption by the various sensors. Is stored in the memory 64 or the like.

  In step 104, the energy measurement value is transmitted to the portable information terminal 40 after a certain time. That is, when a certain amount of time has passed and the energy consumption while going out has reached a stable value, the detection result is transmitted to the portable information terminal 40 owned by the resident via the router 34, the Internet 36 and the service center 38. To do. As a result, the resident can confirm that the transmitted information has been confirmed and can be aware of forgetting to turn off the home appliances, and can be made aware of power saving.

  Subsequently, in step 106, it is determined whether or not there is a change in the energy consumption after the energy consumption is stabilized. The determination is made by determining whether or not the energy consumption has changed by a predetermined value or more. For example, it is determined whether or not the timer-set device has been activated and the power consumption has changed, and the determination is affirmed. If YES in step 108, the flow advances to step 108. If negative, the flow advances to step 110.

  In step 108, information indicating that there is a change in energy consumption is transmitted to the portable information terminal 40, and the process proceeds to step 110. In this way, the resident can check the portable information terminal 40 to check whether or not the device has operated normally when there is a timer-set device.

  In step 110, it is determined whether the home mode is instructed. In the present embodiment, as a result of the security control device 14 acquiring and authenticating information such as an ID from the electronic key 32 by the electronic key authenticating unit 26, the authentication is successful, the entrance door 24 is unlocked, and the home mode is set. Since the information indicating the unlocking is output to the energy measuring / displaying device 12 when shifting to, the determination is made as to whether or not the information indicating the unlocking has been received from the security control device 14. If the determination is negative, the process returns to step 106 and the above-described processing is repeated. If the determination is affirmative, the routine proceeds to step 112.

  In step 112, the accumulation of energy consumption is stopped, the accumulation result is displayed on the display unit 60, and the process proceeds to step 114. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the power consumption accumulated during the outing mode is displayed for each home section. Or as shown in FIG. 5, you may make it display the power consumption for every time. In the present embodiment, the cumulative value of energy consumption is displayed on the display unit 60 of the energy measurement / display device 12, but may be displayed on the security display device 16 or displayed on both. You may do it.

  In step 114, it is determined whether or not the release button has been operated. The determination is made by determining whether or not an operation of a cancel button (for example, “exit mode cancel” button shown in FIG. 4) displayed on the display unit 60 of the energy measurement / display device 12 has been performed. It waits until it is done and proceeds to step 116. That is, the accumulated result of the energy consumption while going out is displayed on the display unit 60 until the release button is operated.

  In step 116, the process shifts to a home mode where monitoring of energy consumption such as electric power in a normal house is performed, and the process at the time of going-out mode is ended.

  As described above, in the in-home equipment control system 10 according to the present embodiment, when the user goes out, the electronic key 32 is locked by the electronic key 32 to set the outing mode, thereby shifting to the outing mode and accumulating the energy consumption during the outing. Since the energy consumption during going out is displayed when the electronic key 32 is unlocked when starting and returning home, it is possible to easily check the energy consumption while going out without performing any special operation. it can. As a result, the energy consumption while going out can be made obvious to assist the energy consumption reduction.

  Moreover, since the measurement result of the stabilized energy consumption while going out is notified to the resident's portable information terminal 40, it is possible to notice that the device has been forgotten to be turned off.

  Furthermore, since the resident personal digital assistant 40 is notified when there is a change in energy consumption while going out, it is possible to check the operation of the device set with the timer.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, since the accumulation result of the energy consumption during going out is displayed until the cancellation | release button displayed on the display part 60 of the energy measurement / display apparatus 12 is operated, the energy consumption while going out is displayed to a resident. It can be confirmed surely.

  In the above-described embodiment, the energy control / display device 12 and the security control device 14 have been described as separate configurations. However, the configuration is not limited thereto, and for example, a configuration in which both functions are provided in a HEMS or the like. It is good.
