The moisture image 61 is a virtual space image created based on humidity information acquired from the air cleaner 2, and corresponds to moisture contained in the air-conditioned space 60. The dust image 62 is a virtual space image created based on dust amount information acquired from the air cleaner 2, and corresponds to dust contained in the air-conditioned space 60. The pollen image 63 is a virtual space image created based on the pollen amount information acquired from the air cleaner 2, and corresponds to the pollen included in the air-conditioned space 60. The odor image 64 is a virtual space image created based on the odor amount information acquired from the air cleaner 2, and corresponds to the odor contained in the air-conditioned space 60.

  The ratio of each air quality image 61 to 64 to the display screen 52 is determined based on the amount of each air quality corresponding to each air quality image 61 to 64. Specifically, the amount of each air quality is represented by the number of each air quality image 61-64, and if the amount of air quality contained in the conditioned space 60 is small, the air quality image corresponding to that air quality. Are displayed in a small number (including 0). Further, when the amount of air quality contained in the air-conditioned space 60 is large, a large number of air quality images corresponding to the air quality are displayed. Each air quality image 61-64 is displayed within the range of 0-10 pieces, for example. For example, in FIG. 4, there are four moisture images 61, two dust images 62, three pollen images 63, and seven odor images 64. Therefore, FIG. 4 shows that the amount of dust and pollen contained in the air-conditioned space 60 is small and the amount of odor contained in the air-conditioned space 60 is large. Moreover, it shows that the humidity contained in the air-conditioned space 60 is slightly low.

  Each of the air quality images 61 to 64 freely moves in the display screen 52 with the passage of time. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the positions of the air quality images 61 to 64 are different when the user starts imaging of the air-conditioned space 60 and when a predetermined time has elapsed since the imaging was started.

  Each of the air quality images 61 to 64 may change to indicate that the air quality has moved from the display screen 52 to the outside of the frame. That is, the air quality image in contact with the outer frame of the display screen 52 may gradually disappear so as to move out of the frame. In addition, the air quality images 61 to 64 may change to indicate that the air quality has moved from outside the frame into the display screen 52. That is, the air quality image may gradually appear from the outer frame of the display screen 52 as if the air quality image has moved from outside the frame of the display screen 52.

  As shown in FIG. 7, each of the air quality images 61 to 64 changes so that a virtual space image (suction wind image) corresponding to the wind sucked from the suction port 11 of the air purifier 2 indicates the wind suction flow. Accordingly, the air cleaner 2 may change so as to be sucked into the suction port 11. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, for example, an air quality image 65 displayed in the vicinity of the suction port 11 of the air cleaner 2 or on or around the image of the suction wind image is displayed on the suction port 11 of the air cleaner 2. It changes to be sucked.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the air quality images 61 to 64 change so that a virtual space image (blowing wind image) corresponding to the wind blown from the air outlet 12 of the air purifier 2 shows the flow of the wind. As it does, it may change in the direction away from the air outlet 12 of the air cleaner 2. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, for example, an air quality image 66 displayed in the vicinity of the air outlet 12 of the air cleaner 2, or on or around the image of the air blowing air image is displayed from the air outlet 12 of the air cleaner 2. It changes in the direction of leaving.

  In FIG. 7, for convenience of explanation, the change in the air quality image is indicated by an arrow, or the air quality image before the change is indicated by a chain line. However, in the actual virtual space image, the arrow or the air quality image is indicated by a chain line. It is not indicated by. However, there may be an arrow or the air quality image may be indicated by a chain line.

  The respective ratios of the air quality images 61 to 64 with respect to the display screen 52 increase / decrease as the amount of air quality corresponding to the air quality images 61 to 64 changes. Specifically, when the amount of each air quality decreases, the number of air quality images corresponding to the air quality decreases, and when the amount of each air quality increases, the number of air quality images corresponding to the air quality increases. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the number of the air quality images 61 to 64 is different when the user starts imaging of the air-conditioned space 60 and when a predetermined time has elapsed since the imaging was started. For example, in FIG. 6, the moisture image 61 is reduced from four to three, the dust image 62 is reduced from two to one, and the odor image 64 is reduced from seven to three. This indicates that the amount of water, the amount of dust, and the amount of odor decreased as the air cleaner 2 was operated for a predetermined time.

  Each of the air quality images 61 to 64 decreases, for example, so as to disappear (suddenly) in the display screen 52, or decreases by changing to indicate that the display screen 52 has moved out of the frame, It decreases by changing so that it may be sucked into the suction inlet 11 of the air cleaner 2 with the change of a suction wind image. In addition, the air quality images 61 to 64 increase, for example, by suddenly appearing in the display screen 52 or changing so as to indicate that they have moved from outside the frame into the display screen 52.

<Virtual space image corresponding to wind>
As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, when the captured image includes the suction port 11 and the air outlet 12 of the air cleaner 2, the air cleaner 2 is in operation. The wind sucked from the two suction ports 11 is displayed as a virtual space image, and the blown air blown from the air outlet 12 of the air cleaner 2 is displayed as a virtual space image.

  The virtual space image (suction wind image) corresponding to the wind sucked from the suction port 11 of the air cleaner 2 is represented by different colors according to the amount of air quality. For example, when any of the dust amount, the pollen amount, and the odor amount is higher than a predetermined value and the air-conditioned space 60 is dirty, the wind is displayed in red. Further, when all of the dust amount, the pollen amount, and the odor amount are lower than a predetermined value and the air-conditioned space 60 is beautiful, the wind is displayed in blue. On the other hand, the virtual space image (blowing wind image) corresponding to the wind blown from the air outlet 12 of the air cleaner 2 is always represented by one color (for example, blue). Therefore, in this embodiment, the color of the suction wind image may be different from the color of the blowing wind image. Therefore, when the air-conditioned space 60 is dirty, dirty air before air conditioning is sucked from the air inlet 11 of the air purifier 2 and clean air after air conditioning is blown out from the outlet 12 of the air cleaner 2. Is shown.

  The suction wind image changes to show the wind suction flow. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7A to 7D, the area of the suction wind image (hatched portion) gradually decreases to show the wind suction flow, and then returns to the original state. repeat. Also, the blown-out wind image changes so as to show the flow of wind blown out. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7A to 7D, the region (dot portion) of the blown-out wind image gradually increases so as to show the flow of the wind, and then changes back to the original state. repeat.

  Further, the speed of the change when the suction wind image and the blowout wind image change so as to indicate the wind suction flow and the wind blowing flow is increased or decreased based on the air volume of the air cleaner 2. When the air volume of the air cleaner 2 (the rotational speed of the blower fan 15) increases, the speed of the change increases. When the air volume of the air cleaner 2 decreases, the speed of the change decreases.

  Next, an operation method performed by the user touching the display screen will be described.

<Time change operation>
In FIG. 8A, a virtual space image corresponding to the current air quality included in the conditioned space 60 is displayed over the captured image of the conditioned space 60.

The first time selection unit 71 includes a first switching unit 72 that can select a specific time (previous predetermined time) before the start of operation displayed as “Before driving”, and a current time displayed as “Current”. And a selectable second switching unit 73. As shown in FIG. 8C, when the user touches the display screen 52 and selects the first switching unit 72 displayed as “Before driving”, the air quality at the past predetermined time included in the air-conditioned space 60 is changed. A corresponding virtual space image is displayed on the captured image of the air-conditioned space 60. Specifically, when the first switching unit 72 is selected, the control unit 53 reads the air quality information at the past predetermined time stored in the storage unit 54, and based on the air quality information at the past predetermined time. The image creation unit 55 creates a virtual space image corresponding to the air quality at a predetermined past time. And the control part 53 displays the virtual space image corresponding to the air quality in the past predetermined time on the captured image of the air-conditioned space 60. FIG. Therefore, the user can compare the virtual space image corresponding to the current air quality and the virtual space image corresponding to the air quality at a predetermined past time. After that, when the user touches the display screen 52 and selects the second switching unit 73 displayed as “current”, the state returns to the state where the virtual space image corresponding to the current air quality is displayed.

  In FIG. 9A, the display screen switching unit 70 is selected once, and a time selection unit 71 is displayed together with a virtual space image corresponding to the current air quality included in the air-conditioned space 60. When the user touches the display screen 52 and selects the display screen switching unit 70 again, a second time selection unit 74 is displayed in the display screen 52 as shown in FIG. 9B. The second time selection unit 74 includes a time axis control bar 75 extending in the width direction of the display screen 52 and a guide unit 76 that moves on the time axis control bar 75. “Before operation” is displayed above one end of the time axis control bar 75, and “current” is displayed above the other end. As shown in FIG. 9C, the user touches the display screen 52 and scrolls the guide unit 76 left and right, so that the user can select a desired time from the specific time (before driving) to the present time before starting driving. The time can be selected. When the desired time is selected, the time selected by the user (“15:30” in FIG. 9C) is displayed above the guide unit 76.

  When the user operates the guide unit 76 on the display screen 52 and selects a desired past time from a specific time (predetermined time in the past) to the current time, the air quality at the selected time is handled. The virtual space image is displayed on the captured image of the conditioned space 60 (for example, in FIG. 9C, the virtual space image corresponding to the air quality at “15:30” is displayed on the captured image of the conditioned space 60. Is displayed). Specifically, when the guide unit 76 is operated and a past desired time is selected, the control unit 53 reads out and selects the air quality information at the time (selected time) stored in the storage unit 54. Based on the air quality information at the selected time, the image creation unit 55 creates a virtual space image corresponding to the air quality at the selected time. Then, the control unit 53 displays a virtual space image corresponding to the air quality at the selected time on the captured image of the air-conditioned space 60. Therefore, the user can confirm the air quality state at the selected past time.

  In addition, when the user touches the display screen 52 and scrolls the guide unit 76 from one end (pre-operation side) to the other end (current side) of the time axis control bar 75, for example, the air-conditioned space from a specific time before the start of operation to the present. A change in the virtual space image corresponding to the air quality included in 60 is displayed on the captured image of the air-conditioned space 60. Therefore, the user can see the change in the air quality included in the air-conditioned space from the past predetermined time to the present.

  Further, when the user touches the display screen 52 and scrolls the guide unit 76 from, for example, the other end (current side) of the time axis control bar 75 to one end (pre-operation side), the air-conditioned space from the present to the specific time before the operation starts. A change in the virtual space image corresponding to the air quality included in 60 is displayed on the captured image of the air-conditioned space 60. Therefore, the user can see the change in the air quality while rewinding the time.

  In FIG. 10A, a virtual space image corresponding to the current air quality included in the conditioned space 60 is displayed over the captured image of the conditioned space 60. When the user touches the display screen 52 and selects the menu selection unit 77 once, a plurality of items including a moving image display 78 and a necessary time display 79 are displayed in the display screen 52 as shown in FIG.

  Further, in the terminal device 3 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the operation time of the air cleaner 2 necessary for the amount of air quality contained in the air-conditioned space 60 to be within a predetermined range is displayed on the display screen 52. Since it is displayed, it is possible to easily grasp the operation time of the air purifier 2 necessary for the amount of air quality contained in the air-conditioned space 60 to be within the predetermined range.

  Further, in the terminal device 3 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the wind sucked from the suction port 11 of the air purifier 2 is displayed as a virtual space image superimposed on the captured image of the air-conditioned space 60. It can be seen that the air purifier 2 is operating. Therefore, the reality of the virtual space image is increased, and the user can easily understand the state at a glance and be easily familiar.

  Moreover, in the terminal device 3 of this embodiment, since the color of the virtual space image corresponding to the wind sucked from the suction port 11 of the air purifier 2 changes based on the amount of air quality contained in the air-conditioned space 60, For example, it is easy to grasp a change in the state of the air quality included in the air-conditioned space 60 such as an air quality improvement effect.

  Moreover, in the terminal device 3 of this embodiment, while changing so that the virtual space image corresponding to the wind suck | inhaled from the suction inlet 11 of the air cleaner 2 may show the suction | inhalation flow of a wind, the speed of the change is air purifier. Since it increases / decreases based on the air volume of the machine 2, it is easy to grasp the air volume of the air cleaner 2.

  Moreover, in the terminal device 3 of this embodiment, the virtual space image corresponding to the air quality is displayed on the suction port 11 of the air cleaner 2 together with the virtual space image corresponding to the wind sucked from the suction port 11 of the air cleaner 2. Since it changes so that it may be inhaled, the improvement speed and improvement effect of the air quality contained in the air-conditioned space 60 can be realized, and it is easy to grasp the state of the air quality.

  Further, in the terminal device 3 of the present embodiment, for example, when the air-conditioned space 60 that is the target of air conditioning is dirty, dirty air before air conditioning is sucked from the suction port 11 of the air purifier 2 and the air Since a state where clean air after air conditioning is blown out from the air outlet 12 of the conditioner can be expressed, it is easy to feel the improvement speed and improvement effect of the air quality contained in the air-conditioned space 60.

The air conditioning unit 1 that can be grasped can be provided.

[First Modification]
FIG. 13 shows a first modification of the present embodiment. In this embodiment, when the amount of each air quality (water, dust, pollen, odor) decreases, the number of air quality images corresponding to the air quality decreases, and when the amount of each air quality increases, the air quality corresponds to the air quality. The number of air quality images increases. As a result, the ratio of the air quality image to the display screen 52 increases or decreases with a change in the amount of air quality included in the conditioned space 60. On the other hand, in the first modified example, as shown in FIG. 13, when the amount of each air quality (moisture, dust, pollen, odor) decreases, the area of the air quality image corresponding to the air quality decreases. As the amount of air increases, the area of the air quality image corresponding to the air quality increases. As a result, the ratio of the air quality image to the display screen 52 increases or decreases with a change in the amount of air quality included in the conditioned space 60.

  In the terminal device 3 according to the first modification, when the ratio of the air quality image to the display screen 52 increases or decreases with the change in the amount of air quality included in the air-conditioned space 60, it is necessary to count the number of each air quality.

On the other hand, in the first modification, the air volume of the air cleaner 2 is represented by the length of the range of the suction wind image. Specifically, the length of the range of the suction wind image becomes longer as the air volume of the air cleaner 2 increases. For example, in FIG. 14 (a), since the air volume of the air cleaner 2 is large, the length of the range of the suction air image is long. For example, in FIG. 14 (b), the air volume of the air cleaner 2 is small, so The length of the range is short. Similar to the suction wind image, the length of the range of the blown wind image becomes longer as the air volume of the air cleaner 2 increases.
