  Each of the processing units 113 to 120 is realized by a processor that operates a software program stored in advance in a ROM (Read Only Memory), for example, and a RAM (Random Access Memory) as a work area.

  So far, the configuration of the electric equipment management apparatus 102 according to the present embodiment has been described. From here, the process which the electric equipment management apparatus 102 performs is demonstrated.

  For example, when the input unit 112 receives an instruction to the user to input a schedule, the electrical device management apparatus 102 executes a calendar schedule registration process illustrated in FIG.

  The input unit 112 receives a schedule type and subject, or a schedule title (step S101), and receives a schedule including the start and end of the schedule (step S102), and determines whether or not the schedule is repeatedly set (step S102). Step S103). Here, the repeat setting is a setting for creating calendar schedule data 106 indicating that the schedule received in step S101 and step S102 is repeated.

  If it is determined that the setting has not been repeated (step S103; No), the input unit 112 creates calendar schedule data 106 indicating the schedules received in steps S101 and S102 (step S104).

  If it is determined that the setting has been repeated (step S103; Yes), it is determined whether or not the type of repetition has been selected (step S105). Here, the types of repetition include, for example, repeating an inputted schedule every day, repeating only a specific day of the week, repeating only a weekday, and the like.

  When it is determined that the type of repetition has not been selected (step S105; No), the input unit 112 repeatedly executes step S103. If it is determined that the type of repetition has been selected (step S105; Yes), calendar schedule data 106 corresponding to the selected type of repetition is created based on the schedules received in steps S101 and S102 (step S106). ).

  The input unit 112 displays a registration confirmation screen on the display unit 111, and determines whether or not a registration instruction has been received from the user (step S107).

  When it is determined that the registration instruction has not been received (step S107; No), the input unit 112 ends the calendar schedule registration process by regarding that the scheduled input has been canceled. If it is determined that a registration instruction has been received (step S107; Yes), the input unit 112 passes the created calendar schedule data 106 to the calendar schedule registration unit 113. The calendar schedule registration unit 113 stores the calendar schedule data 106 acquired from the input unit 112 in the storage unit 104 (step S108), and ends the calendar schedule registration process. As a result, the schedule input by the user is stored in the storage unit 104 as calendar schedule data 106.

  For example, when the user inputs a schedule, the electrical device management apparatus 102 executes the interlock control process illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10. For example, when the calendar schedule acquisition unit 114 monitors the calendar schedule data 106 in the storage unit 104 and detects an update of the calendar schedule data 106, it is determined that the user has input a schedule.

  When the synchronization control determining unit 115 acquires the calendar schedule data 106 corresponding to the schedule input by the user from the calendar schedule acquisition unit 114, the synchronization control determination unit 115 extracts the synchronization definition data 108 including the same scheduled title as the calendar schedule data 106 from the storage unit 104. (Step S111). The interlocking control determination unit 115 determines whether there is an object of interlocking control in the input schedule according to the presence / absence of the interlocking definition data 108 extracted in step S111 (step S112).

  When there is no interlocking definition data 108 extracted in step S111, the interlocking control determination unit 115 determines that there is no object of interlocking control (step S112; No), and ends the interlocking control process. When there is the link definition data 108 extracted in step S111, the link control determination unit 115 determines that there is a target for link control (step S112; Yes), and uses the extracted link definition data 108 as a device schedule setting unit. Hand over to 116.

  The device schedule setting unit 116 extracts the batch setting definition data 109 including the same batch setting type as the interlocking definition data 108 acquired from the interlocking control determining unit 115 from the storage unit 104 (step S113). For all the extracted batch setting definition data 109, the batch setting definition data 109 repeats steps S115 to S127 (loop A; step S114).

  The device schedule setting unit 116 determines whether or not the batch setting definition data 109 to be processed includes a control condition (step S115). When it is determined that the control condition is included (step S115; Yes), the device schedule setting unit 116 determines whether the control condition is a partition control condition (step S116).

  When it is determined that the control condition is the partition control condition (step S116; Yes), the device schedule setting unit 116 stores all users who use the partition included in the batch setting definition data 109 to be processed in the storage unit 104. It is specified by referring to the stored partition data 110 (step S117). When it is determined that the control condition is not the partition control condition (step S116; No), the device schedule setting unit 116 acquires information necessary for determining whether the control condition is satisfied (step S118). For example, in the example of the collective setting definition data 109 shown in FIG. 6, when the “collective setting type” is “customer”, the device schedule setting unit 116 indicates the amount of water in the ice making tank and the ice amount in the ice making room. Is obtained from the refrigerator 101d_5.

  The device schedule setting unit 116 determines whether or not the control condition is satisfied (step S119). For example, it is determined whether or not the partition control condition is satisfied by comparing the user specified in step S117 with the subject included in the calendar schedule data 106 input by the user. Further, for example, based on the information acquired in step S118, it is determined whether or not the control condition is satisfied.

  When it is determined that the control condition is not satisfied (step S119; No), the device schedule setting unit 116 ends the process of the loop A (step S114) for the current setting target batch setting definition data 109, and the unprocessed batch. If there is setting definition data 109, the process of loop A (step S114) is executed for the batch setting definition data 109. If there is no unprocessed batch setting definition data 109, the device schedule setting unit 116 ends the interlock control process.

  When it is determined that the control condition is satisfied (step S119; Yes), the device schedule setting unit 116 sets the control target device included in the current process target batch setting definition data 109 as the control target device (step S120). . The device schedule setting unit 116 sets the control contents included in the current batch setting definition data 109 to be processed as control contents (step S121).

  The device schedule setting unit 116 refers to the link definition data 108 extracted in step S111, and extracts the timing associated with the same batch setting type as the current processing target batch setting definition data 109. The device schedule setting unit 116 extracts the start and end periods included in the calendar schedule data 106 corresponding to the schedule input by the user, that is, the calendar schedule data 106 that is the basis of the current batch setting definition data 109 to be processed. . The device schedule setting unit 116 calculates the date and time when the control target device is controlled according to the control content set in step S120 and step S121, based on the extracted timing, start time, and end time. The device schedule setting unit 116 sets the calculated date and time as the control time (step S122).

  The device schedule setting unit 116 hands over the information indicating the control target device, the control content, and the control time set in steps S120 to S122 to the device schedule registration unit 117. The device schedule registration unit 117 associates a device schedule ID and a setting method with the control target device, control content, and control time acquired from the device schedule setting unit 116. The device schedule registration unit 117 stores the device schedule data 105 in which the control target device, the control content, the control time, the device schedule ID, and the setting method are associated with each other in the storage unit 104 (step S123).

  The notification schedule creation unit 120 refers to the link definition data 108 extracted in step S111, and refers to the content of the notification associated with the same batch setting type as the current processing target batch setting definition data 109. The notification schedule creation unit 120 determines whether notification is necessary based on the content of the referred notification (step S124).

  When it is determined that notification is necessary (step S124; Yes), the notification schedule creation unit 120 transmits a notification based on the timing associated with the notification in the link definition data 108 and the content of the notification. The time to do is calculated. The notification schedule creation unit 120 creates a notification schedule including the calculated time and the execution of the control included in the batch setting type associated with the notification in the linkage definition data 108 (step S125). The notification schedule creation unit 120 creates device schedule data 105 in which the device schedule ID and the control target device “mail notification” are associated with the created notification schedule, and stores the device schedule data 105 in the storage unit 104. Here again, the device schedule ID may be assigned with a serial number as described above.

  When it is determined that notification is not necessary (step S124; No), or after step S125, the control calendar creation unit 119 refers to the link definition data 108 extracted in step S111, and collects the current processing target batch. The display contents associated with the same batch setting type as the setting definition data 109 are referred to. The notification schedule creation unit 120 determines whether display is necessary based on the content of the referenced display (step S126).

  If it is determined that display is necessary (step S126; Yes), the control calendar creation unit 119 creates a control calendar including the type of batch setting and the time associated with the display in the link definition data 108. (Step S127). This time is, for example, the time when control included in the type of batch setting is executed. In this case, the control calendar creation unit 119 determines the timing associated with the type of batch setting in the linkage definition data 108 and the start date included in the calendar schedule data 106 that is the basis of the current batch setting definition data 109 to be processed. And the time is calculated based on the final period. The control calendar creation unit 119 creates calendar schedule data 106 in which the calendar ID and the subject “device” are associated with the created control calendar, and stores the calendar schedule data 106 in the storage unit 104. Here again, the calendar ID is preferably assigned with a serial number as described above.

  When it is determined that display is not necessary (step S126; No), or after step S127, the control calendar creating unit 119 ends the process of loop A (step S114) for the current batch setting definition data 109 to be processed. If there is unprocessed batch setting definition data 109, the process of loop A (step S114) is executed for the batch setting definition data 109. If there is no unprocessed batch setting definition data 109, the control calendar creation unit 119 ends the interlock control process.

  The process performed by the electrical equipment management apparatus 102 according to the present embodiment has been described. For example, by executing calendar schedule registration processing, calendar schedule data 106 having calendar IDs 1, 4, 6 to 10 shown in FIG. 4 is registered. When each of these calendar schedule data 106 is input, the electric equipment management apparatus 102 performs an interlocking control process. As a result, the device schedule data 105 shown in FIG. 3 is stored in the storage unit 104. Also, calendar schedule data 106 having calendar IDs 2, 3, and 5 shown in FIG. 4 is registered. The display unit 111 displays, for example, the image shown in FIG. 11 with reference to the calendar schedule data 106 shown in FIG. Thereby, the user can easily know when the control included in the preset batch setting is executed. By pressing the area where the schedule is displayed, detailed information such as a specific control target device may be displayed.

  For example, the standby power of the IHCH 101c_5 is 0 when the power is OFF. In such an electric device 101, when the user turns off the power and goes out, the electric device management apparatus 102 cannot receive the signal even if the electric device management apparatus 102 transmits an OFF control signal in response to the user going out. is there. In this case, it seems that there is no consumption of safe and wasteful power because the power is turned off, but if a child who remains alone in the house accidentally turns on the power of IHCH 101c_5, IHCH 101c_5 starts operation. End up.

  Therefore, for example, a communication adapter that operates on a battery may be mounted on the IHCH 101c_5. When the power supply of the IHCH 101c_5 is OFF, the communication adapter buffers the control signal from the electric equipment management apparatus 102, and before the operation is started after the power supply of the IHCH 101c_5 is switched ON (on). The control signal being transmitted may be transmitted to the IHCH 101c_5. Alternatively, when the electrical device management apparatus 102 buffers the control signal and detects that the IHCH 101c_5 has started to operate, the buffered control signal may be transmitted to the IHCH 101c_5. Alternatively, when starting the operation of the IHCH 101c_5, an instruction may always be given via the communication adapter. According to these configurations, even if the child accidentally turns on the power of the IHCH 101c_5, the operation can be controlled by the control signal from the electrical device management apparatus 102.

  In the case where an incompatible relationship occurs between the device schedule data 105 created based on the input from the input unit 112 and the device schedule data 105 created according to the scheduled input, for example, the device schedule data 105 is created later. May be applied preferentially and the previously created one may be discarded.
