As shown in FIG. 1, the outdoor unit 2b is provided with an outdoor temperature sensor 31 that detects an outdoor temperature and an outdoor humidity sensor 32 that detects an outdoor humidity. Therefore, in the air conditioner 2, for example, the temperature or humidity detected by the outdoor temperature sensor 31 or the outdoor humidity sensor 32 is supplied to the indoor unit 2a, or the operation is controlled based on a command supplied from the indoor unit 2a. The In the present embodiment, the outdoor temperature detected by the outdoor temperature sensor 31 and the outdoor humidity detected by the outdoor humidity sensor 32 are configured to be supplied to the air conditioning management server 3 via the indoor unit 2a.

  The air conditioning management server 3 has a control unit 50. The control unit 50 includes a ROM in which control programs and data for various operations related to the air conditioning management server 3 are stored, a CPU that executes various calculations to generate signals for controlling the operations of the respective units of the air conditioning management server 3, Members such as a RAM for temporarily storing data such as various settings and calculation results by the CPU are included.

The control unit 50 is connected to the communication unit 56. In the present embodiment, the air conditioning management server 3 corresponds to the management device in the present invention.

  The outdoor information storage unit 51 has the outdoor temperature and humidity (the outdoor temperature detected by the outdoor temperature sensor 31 and the outdoor humidity detected by the outdoor humidity sensor 32) supplied from the indoor unit 2a of the air conditioner 2. Information (outdoor information) is stored. In this embodiment, since outdoor information is supplied from the outdoor unit 2b of the air conditioner 2 via the indoor unit 2a, the information stored in the outdoor information storage unit 51 is updated.

  The air-conditioned space information storage unit 52 is the temperature and humidity of the air-conditioned space supplied from the indoor unit 2a of the air conditioner 2 (the indoor temperature detected by the indoor temperature sensor 21 and the indoor humidity detected by the indoor humidity sensor 22). Is stored (air-conditioning space information). In the present embodiment, since the air-conditioned space information is supplied from the indoor unit 2a of the air conditioner 2, the information stored in the air-conditioned space information storage unit 52 is updated.

  The prediction unit 53 needs to start the cooling operation (or dehumidification operation) of the air-conditioned space based on the outdoor information stored in the outdoor information storage unit 51 and the air-conditioned space information stored in the air-conditioned space information storage unit 52. Is predicted (whether the room temperature and the room humidity are within the information supply zone of the judgment diagram). In the present embodiment, the prediction unit 53 predicts the time when the air-conditioned space is in a state where it is necessary to start the cooling operation (or dehumidifying operation). In the present invention, when the time when the air-conditioned space is required to start the cooling operation (or dehumidifying operation) is predicted, the air-conditioned space needs to start the cooling operation (or dehumidifying operation). Includes cases where time zones are predicted.

  In the present embodiment, the predicting unit 53 stores data indicating the relationship between the past outdoor temperature and the indoor temperature of the air-conditioned space. The predicting unit 53 determines which indoor temperature when the outdoor temperature changes. Can be detected. FIG. 2 shows an example of a change between the outdoor temperature and the indoor temperature of the air-conditioned space in the past day (when the outdoor humidity is 30%). In FIG. 2, the outdoor temperature exceeds 33 degrees at time t1, and then the room temperature exceeds 33 degrees at time t2 when a predetermined time T has elapsed. In the present embodiment, based on the relationship between the outdoor temperature in the past and the indoor temperature of the air-conditioned space, it is considered that the indoor temperature exceeds the predetermined temperature when a predetermined time elapses after the outdoor temperature exceeds the predetermined temperature. Predict the room temperature. In the present embodiment, the indoor humidity is considered to be substantially the same as the outdoor humidity, and 33 degrees is the information supply zone when the indoor humidity is 30% in the determination diagram of FIG. This is the inside room temperature. Therefore, the prediction unit 53 detects a change in the room temperature from the change in the outdoor temperature at a predetermined outdoor humidity, and predicts whether the room temperature and the room humidity are within the information supply zone of the determination diagram. Thus, in this embodiment, the prediction unit 53 predicts whether the room temperature and the room humidity are within the information supply zone of the determination diagram every day.

  In the present embodiment, when the prediction unit 53 predicts whether the air-conditioned space is in a state where it is necessary to start the cooling operation (or dehumidifying operation), the determination diagram for the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity is used. In the determination diagram, as shown in FIG. 3, the vertical axis indicates indoor humidity (relative humidity), and the horizontal axis indicates indoor temperature.

  FIG. 3 is an example of a determination diagram for determining whether to supply the prediction information to the terminal device. In this determination diagram, an information supply zone is set. The information supply zone is an area where the room is in a high temperature state or a high humidity state and the room temperature or the room humidity needs to be lowered. Therefore, it is considered that the region that is not the information supply zone is a region that does not need to reduce the room temperature or the room humidity.

In the determination diagram of FIG. 3, points A1 to A3 indicate the following indoor temperature and indoor humidity.
A1 point: the room temperature is 27 degrees and the room humidity is 100% A2 point: the room temperature is 27 degrees and the room humidity is y ₁ between 70 and 80% A3 points : Indoor temperature is 33 degrees and indoor humidity is 30%

  In the determination diagram of FIG. 3, an information supply zone that is an upper right region (including the case where the room temperature and the room humidity are on the line A) connecting the points A1, A2, and A3 is illustrated. . Therefore, when the room temperature and the room humidity are in the information supply zone, the prediction information is supplied to the terminal device 4 because it is necessary to reduce the room temperature and the room humidity.

  Whether or not the determination unit 54 supplies the prediction information and the prediction time to the terminal device 4 when the prediction unit 53 predicts that the air-conditioned space needs to start the cooling operation (or dehumidification operation). Determine. In this embodiment, the determination unit 54 supplies the prediction information to the terminal device 4 based on the prediction time predicted by the prediction unit 53 and the operation start timer time supplied from the indoor unit 2a of the air conditioner 2. It is determined whether or not. Specifically, when the operation start timer time is set before the predicted time, the determination unit 54 determines that the operation of the air conditioner 2 is started when the predicted time is reached, and sends the prediction information to the terminal. It determines with not supplying to the apparatus 4. On the other hand, when the operation start timer time is not set, or when the operation start timer time is set after the predicted time, the determination unit 54 operates the air conditioner 2 when the predicted time is reached. It is determined that the prediction information is supplied to the terminal device 4 as not started.

  The information supply unit 55 supplies the prediction time to the terminal device 4 together with the prediction information when the determination unit 54 determines that the prediction information is to be supplied to the terminal device 4. In the present embodiment, the information supply unit 55 sends the prediction information and the prediction time to the terminal device 4 when the prediction unit 53 predicts that the air-conditioned space needs to start a cooling operation (or a dehumidifying operation). To supply. Thereafter, the information supply unit 55 supplies the prediction information and the prediction time to the terminal device 4, and then supplies the prediction information and the prediction time to the terminal device 4 every predetermined time. Therefore, in this embodiment, the information supply unit 55 is configured to supply the prediction information and the prediction time to the terminal device 4 a plurality of times before the prediction time is reached. In the present invention, the predicted time when the air-conditioned space is expected to be in a state where it is necessary to start the cooling operation (or dehumidification operation) is the state where the air-conditioned space is required to start the cooling operation (or dehumidification operation). Includes the predicted forecast time zone. Therefore, supplying the prediction information and the prediction time to the terminal device 4 includes the case of supplying the prediction information and the prediction time zone to the terminal device 4.

  The terminal device 4 is a liquid crystal terminal such as a smartphone and has a display screen 10. In the terminal device 4, for example, when prediction information and prediction time are supplied from the air conditioning management server 3, the prediction information and prediction time are displayed on the display screen 10. Therefore, the user of the terminal device 4 looks at the prediction information and the prediction time displayed on the display screen 10 and predicts that the temperature / humidity of the air-conditioned space is within the predetermined range and how much time has elapsed. When it is done, it can be known whether the temperature and humidity of the air-conditioned space are within a predetermined range. In the terminal device 4, when the user performs an operation to change the operation of the indoor unit 2 a of the air conditioner 2 with respect to the terminal device 4, an operation change command is issued to the indoor unit 2 a of the air conditioner 2. (Including an operation start command for starting operation and a set temperature change command for changing the set temperature). In the present embodiment, any of the plurality of terminal devices 4 can supply an operation change command to the indoor unit 2a of the air conditioner 2.

  Next, the prediction information supply operation in the air conditioning management system 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the air conditioning management system 1, it is predicted whether the air-conditioned space is in a state where it is necessary to start a cooling operation (or a dehumidifying operation) (whether the room temperature and the room humidity are within the information supply zone of the determination diagram) (step S1). ). When it is predicted that the room temperature and the room humidity are within the information supply zone of the determination diagram (step S2: YES), the determination unit 54 determines whether to supply the prediction information and the predicted time to the terminal device 4. (Step S3). If it is determined in step S3 that the prediction information and the prediction time are supplied to the terminal device 4 (step S3: YES), the prediction information and the prediction time are supplied to the terminal device 4 (step S4). FIG. 5 shows an example of contents displayed on the display screen 10 of the terminal device 4 when the prediction information and the prediction time are supplied to the terminal device 4. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the predicted time has come (step S5). If it is determined in step S5 that the predicted time has come (step S5: YES), the predicted information supply operation ends.

  On the other hand, when it is predicted in step S2 that the room temperature and the room humidity do not fall within the information supply zone in the determination diagram (step S2: NO), the predicted information supply operation ends.

  Moreover, when it determines with not supplying prediction information and prediction time to the terminal device 4 in step S3 (step S3: NO), prediction information supply operation | movement is complete | finished.

  Moreover, in step S5, after it is determined that the predicted time is not reached after the predicted information and the predicted time are supplied to the terminal device 4 (step S5: NO), the predicted information and the predicted time are changed to the terminal device 4. It is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the time of supply (step S6). When it is determined in step S6 that the predetermined time has elapsed (step S6: YES), the process proceeds to step S4, and the prediction information and the prediction time are supplied to the terminal device 4 again.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S6 that it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed (step S6: NO), the process proceeds to step S5, and the determination as to whether or not the predicted time has come is repeated.

  Next, a prediction method in the air conditioning management system 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the air conditioning management server 3 acquires information on the outdoor humidity detected by the outdoor humidity sensor 32 from the indoor unit 2a of the air conditioner 2 (step S101). The air conditioning management server 3 estimates the indoor humidity based on the information about the outdoor humidity (step S102). In the present embodiment, the indoor humidity is assumed to be the same as the outdoor humidity, and it is estimated that the indoor humidity is the same as the outdoor humidity. Based on the indoor humidity estimated in step S102 and the determination diagram of FIG. 5, a predetermined temperature within the information supply zone of the determination diagram is detected at the indoor humidity (step S103). In this embodiment, since the indoor humidity is 30%, the predetermined temperature is 33 ° C. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the outdoor temperature exceeds a predetermined temperature based on data indicating the relationship between the past outdoor temperature and the indoor temperature of the air-conditioned space stored in the prediction unit 53 (step S104). When it is determined that the outdoor temperature exceeds the predetermined temperature (step S104: YES), when the predetermined time elapses after the outdoor temperature exceeds the predetermined temperature, the indoor temperature is considered to exceed the predetermined temperature, and information is supplied. The predicted time within the zone is predicted (step S105). On the other hand, when it is determined in step S104 that the outdoor temperature does not exceed the predetermined temperature (step S104: NO), the prediction operation ends.

<Characteristics of the air conditioning management system of this embodiment>
In the air conditioning management system 1 of the present embodiment, the time when the temperature / humidity of the air-conditioned space is within a predetermined range is predicted based on the outdoor temperature and the outdoor humidity, and the predicted time is the temperature / humidity of the air-conditioned space within the predetermined range. Before going inside, it is supplied to the terminal device. Therefore, before the temperature / humidity of the air-conditioned space falls within the predetermined range, the user knows the predicted time when the temperature / humidity of the air-conditioned space falls within the predetermined range, so that how long the user has passed. Since the operation of the air conditioner can be changed in consideration of whether the temperature / humidity of the air-conditioned space falls within the predetermined range, the temperature / humidity of the air-conditioned space can be prevented from being within the predetermined range. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent a person in the air-conditioned space from becoming heat stroke.

  In the air conditioning management system 1 of the present embodiment, when the operation of the air conditioner 2 is started by the operation start timer when the temperature / humidity of the air-conditioned space comes to the predicted time when the information supply zone is reached, the prediction information Even if the terminal device 4 is not supplied, the temperature / humidity of the air-conditioned space is considered to change outside the information supply zone. Therefore, when it is not necessary to supply prediction information, supply of prediction information can be suppressed.

  In the air conditioning management system 1 according to the present embodiment, the prediction information is supplied to the terminal device 4 a plurality of times before the temperature / humidity of the air-conditioned space enters the information supply zone. The user can be surely informed that it is predicted to be inside.

  In the air conditioning management system 1 according to the present embodiment, the terminal device 4 can supply an operation change command to the air conditioner 2 in the air conditioned space. The operation of the air conditioner 2 can be changed so that the humidity does not fall within the information supply zone. Therefore, it can prevent that the user in an air-conditioning space becomes heat stroke etc.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described based on drawing, it should be thought that a specific structure is not limited to these embodiment. The scope of the present invention is shown not by the above description of the embodiments but by the scope of claims for patent, and further includes meanings equivalent to the scope of claims for patent and all modifications within the scope.

  For example, in the first embodiment described above, the prediction unit estimates the indoor temperature based on the outdoor temperature based on data indicating the relationship between the outdoor temperature in the past and the indoor temperature of the air-conditioned space, and the outdoor temperature is predetermined. The case where the indoor temperature is predicted when the predetermined time has elapsed after exceeding the temperature and the indoor temperature is predicted to exceed the predetermined temperature has been described. Other methods may be used as the method for predicting whether or not the time is predicted. Further, the prediction unit may predict whether the room temperature and the room humidity are within the information supply zone of the determination diagram, not every day, but every other period.

  The prediction method of the 1st modification in the information supply system which concerns on this invention is demonstrated referring FIG. 7 and FIG.

  First, the air conditioning management server 3 acquires information on the indoor temperature detected by the indoor temperature sensor 21 and the indoor humidity detected by the indoor humidity sensor 22 from the indoor unit 2a of the air conditioner 2 (step S201). The air conditioning management server 3 detects the amount of water vapor in the room based on the information about the room temperature and the room humidity (step S202). In this modification, data indicating the relationship between the room temperature and the saturated water vapor amount shown in FIG. 8 is stored in the prediction unit, and the indoor water vapor amount is detected based on the data. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the room temperature is increased by 1 ° C. from the present based on the data indicating the relationship between the past outdoor temperature and the room temperature of the air-conditioned space stored in the prediction unit (step S203). As to how the room temperature rises, the room temperature may be estimated from past data (for example, an average value for one week) using the current room temperature. When the current indoor temperature is not used, the indoor temperature may be estimated as “indoor temperature = outdoor temperature + α” (for example, α = 4). At this time, α may be obtained by calculating an average value every four quarters (1-March / 4-June / 7-September / 10-December) from the past indoor temperature and outdoor temperature. In step S203, when it is determined that the room temperature increases by 1 ° C. from the current time, it can be estimated how many hours later the room temperature will increase by 1 ° C. from the current time.

  In step S203, when it is determined that the room temperature increases by 1 ° C. from the present time (step S203: YES), the room humidity at the room temperature increased by 1 ° C. is estimated (step S204). Thereafter, based on the room temperature increased by 1 ° C. from the present time, the room humidity estimated in step S204, and the determination diagram of FIG. 5, it is determined whether the room temperature and the room humidity are within the information supply zone of the determination diagram. (Step S205). When it is determined that the room temperature and the room humidity are within the information supply zone of the determination diagram (step S205: YES), in step S203, when it is determined that the room temperature will increase by 1 ° C. from the present time, the room temperature after Is estimated to rise by 1 ° C. from the current time, therefore, based on the content, the estimated time within the information supply zone is estimated (step S206).

  If it is not determined in step S205 that the room temperature and the room humidity are within the information supply zone of the determination diagram (step S205: NO), the process proceeds to step S203 to determine whether the room temperature further increases by 1 ° C. to decide.

  In step S203, when it is determined that the room temperature does not increase by 1 ° C. from the present time (step S205: NO), the prediction operation ends.

  The prediction method of the 2nd modification in the information supply system which concerns on this invention is demonstrated referring FIG.

First, the air conditioning management server 3 acquires information on the outdoor temperature detected by the outdoor temperature sensor 31 and the outdoor humidity detected by the outdoor humidity sensor 32 from the indoor unit 2a of the air conditioner 2 (step S301). The air conditioning management server 3 detects the amount of water vapor outside the room based on information about the outdoor temperature and outdoor humidity (step S302). In the present modification, data indicating the relationship between the outdoor temperature and the saturated water vapor amount similar to that in FIG. 8 is stored in the prediction unit, and the outdoor water vapor amount is detected based on the data. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the outdoor water vapor amount has greatly increased within a certain time (for example, 1 hour) (step S303). In this modification, when the outdoor water vapor amount increases by a predetermined amount (for example, 1 g / m ³ ) within one hour, it is determined that the outdoor water vapor amount has greatly increased within a certain time. The case where the outdoor water vapor amount greatly increases within a certain period of time is, for example, when it starts to rain or when it is falling.

  In step S303, when it is determined that the outdoor water vapor amount has greatly increased within a certain time (step S303: YES), the outdoor water vapor amount rising speed is detected (step S304). Thereafter, the amount of water vapor in the room is detected based on the room temperature detected by the room temperature sensor 21 and the room humidity detected by the room humidity sensor 22 (step S305). In this modified example, when the outdoor water vapor amount increases, it is considered that there is a temperature drop in the room temperature due to rain, so the room temperature of “current room temperature −α ° C. (for example, α = 2 ° C.)” The amount of water vapor in the room is detected. In this modification, data indicating the relationship between the room temperature and the saturated steam amount similar to that in FIG. 8 is stored in the prediction unit, and the indoor water vapor amount is detected based on the data.

  Thus, in this modification, since the outdoor water vapor amount has greatly increased in the past fixed time, it is assumed that the indoor water vapor amount will increase in the future, and the future transition of the indoor water vapor amount is estimated. . Therefore, when the indoor water vapor amount detected in step S305 increases based on the increase rate of the outdoor water vapor amount detected in step S304, the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity are determined based on the determination diagram of FIG. It is determined whether it is in the information supply zone (step S306). When it is determined that the room temperature and the room humidity are within the information supply zone in the determination diagram (step S306: YES), the estimated time of being within the information supply zone is estimated (step S307). In this modification, it is considered that the indoor water vapor amount detected in step S305 has increased based on the increase rate of the outdoor water vapor amount detected in step S304. Therefore, for example, at the indoor temperature of “current indoor temperature−α ° C. (for example, α = 2 ° C.)”, the indoor humidity that falls within the information supply zone of the determination diagram is detected, Based on the saturated water vapor amount at the room temperature of `` room temperature -α ° C. (for example, α = 2 ° C.) '', the determination diagram at the room temperature of `` current room temperature-α ° C. (for example, α = 2 ° C.) '' After estimating the indoor water vapor amount in the information supply zone, the indoor water vapor amount detected in step S305 is increased based on the increase rate of the outdoor water vapor amount detected in step S304. When it is determined that the amount of water vapor in the room has risen, it may be determined that it will be within the information supply zone of the determination diagram, and the estimated time of being within the information supply zone may be estimated.

  Further, in this variation, once the outdoor water vapor amount has increased, the indoor water vapor amount detected in step S305 is the rate of increase in the outdoor water vapor amount detected in step S304 until the outdoor water vapor amount decreases. The amount of water vapor in the room is estimated. This is because, for example, the amount of water vapor in the room does not change when it rains, but the room temperature rises and it enters the information supply zone of the judgment diagram, or while the amount of water vapor is rising (it is raining) In order to take into account that the current room temperature may not change or may increase. In addition, the prediction method of this modification may be performed only when the room temperature is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature (for example, 29 ° C.).

  If it is not determined in step S306 that the room temperature and the room humidity are within the information supply zone in the determination diagram (step S306: NO), the prediction operation ends.

  If it is determined in step S303 that the outdoor water vapor amount does not increase significantly within a predetermined time (step S303: NO), the prediction operation ends.

  Moreover, in the above-mentioned embodiment, after supplying the predicted time to the terminal device, the predicted time is supplied to the terminal device every predetermined time, so that the predicted time is supplied a plurality of times before the predicted time becomes the predicted time. Although described, it is not limited to this. Therefore, the predicted time may be supplied to the terminal device only once. For example, in the determination diagram, the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity are lower than the information supply zone (outside the information supply zone), A zone is provided, and the predicted time is supplied to the terminal device every time the room temperature and the room humidity are in a plurality of other zones, so that the predicted time may be supplied a plurality of times before the predicted time is reached. .

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the predicted time is not supplied to the terminal device when the operation of the air conditioner is started by the operation start timer when the predicted time is reached has been described. The predicted time may be supplied to the terminal device regardless of whether or not the air conditioner is in operation.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the prediction unit predicts whether the room temperature and the room humidity are within the information supply zone of the determination diagram based on the outdoor temperature and the outdoor humidity has been described. Based on the forecasted weather information, it may be predicted whether the room temperature and the room humidity will fall within the information supply zone of the determination diagram. In this case, the air conditioning management server has a weather information storage unit, and the weather information storage unit may store weather information of weather forecasts supplied from a weather information server different from the air conditioning management server. The weather information of the weather forecast may be registered in the weather information storage unit.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the air conditioning management system includes the air conditioning management server corresponding to the management device according to the present invention and the terminal device has been described. However, the management device according to the present invention provides the weather information of the weather forecast. Any device other than the air conditioning management server may be used as long as it has weather information storage means for storing.

  In the first embodiment described above, the predicted time is automatically supplied when the room temperature and the room humidity are in the information supply zone based on the room temperature and the room humidity. The predicted time may be automatically supplied when the temperature is in the information supply zone. In this case, the determination diagram shown in FIG. 10 is used. In the determination diagram of FIG. 10, as in FIG. 3, an information supply zone in which the room temperature is 27 degrees or higher is set in the area on the right side of the line A. Also in this case, the predicted time is supplied when the room temperature is in the information supply zone. In this case, the prediction unit stores data indicating the relationship between the past outdoor temperature and the indoor temperature of the air-conditioned space. In the prediction unit, how the indoor temperature changes when the outdoor temperature changes. Therefore, it is possible to detect whether the room temperature falls within the information supply zone of the determination diagram by detecting the change in the room temperature from the change in the outdoor temperature in one day. The operation of the air conditioning management system is the same as that of the first embodiment except that the operation of the air conditioning management system is performed based on the room temperature and the humidity in the first embodiment based on the room temperature. Done in

  In the above-described embodiment, the prediction information is supplied based on the room temperature and the room humidity detected by the room temperature sensor and the room humidity sensor arranged in the indoor unit. However, the prediction information is supplied to other conditioned spaces (for example, a remote controller). The prediction information may be supplied based on the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity detected by the indoor temperature sensor and the indoor humidity sensor arranged.

  Moreover, in the above-mentioned embodiment, although a terminal device can supply an operation change command with respect to the air conditioner in an air conditioned space, the terminal which cannot supply an operation change command with respect to the air conditioner in an air conditioned space It may be a device.
