  The humidifying unit 2 can stop the heating means constituting the humidifying unit 21 and operate only the air blowing means such as a blower to perform only the air blowing operation.

  Thus, in the air conditioning system 100, the air conditioning unit 1 having a cooling function and a heating function and the humidification unit 2 having a humidification function and a ventilation function are installed in an air conditioning target space such as the bedroom 200. The communication parts 17 and 27 of each unit mutually transmit / receive the obtained data. That is, the air conditioning system 100 is a system in which the air conditioning unit 1 and the humidifying unit 2 share data, and the air conditioning unit 1 and the humidifying unit 2 operate in conjunction with each other. The communication units 17 and 27 may transmit / receive data by wired communication or may transmit / receive data by wireless communication. When data is transmitted and received by wireless communication, wiring between the air conditioning unit 1 and the humidifying unit 2 is not necessary, and the work for installing the air conditioning unit 1 and the humidifying unit 2 is facilitated. In addition, the installation position can be easily changed and convenience is improved. In the configuration example shown in FIG. 1, it is assumed that the air conditioning unit 1 and the humidifying unit 2 communicate directly, but the configuration may be such that communication is performed via a network such as a wireless local area network (LAN).

  Next, examples of installation positions of the air conditioning unit 1 and the humidifying unit 2 will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a usage example of the air conditioning system 100, and illustrates an example of installation positions of the air conditioning unit 1 and the humidifying unit 2 when the air conditioning system 100 is used in the bedroom 200.

  FIG. 2 shows an example in which the air conditioning unit 1 is arranged at the upper part of the bedroom 200 and the humidifying unit 2 is arranged at the lower part of the bedroom 200, specifically, at a position close to the bedding 30, that is, a place close to a sleeping person. Yes. The humidifying unit 2 includes a steam outlet 9 and a blower outlet 10 that are not shown in FIG. 1. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the steam and the blower outlet 10 are blown from the steam outlet 9. It arrange | positions so that the wind which blows off may go to a foot side from a sleeping person's head side.

  The sleeping person lies at the bottom of the bedroom 200 during sleep, but the humidifying unit 2 is provided with a steam outlet 9 and a blower outlet 10 for blowing steam horizontally to the floor. It is possible to directly humidify or blow air around the sleeping person without going up the room. In the case of a humidifier that humidifies the entire room rather than a spot, that is, a humidifier that is placed and used away from the person to be humidified, such as the upper part of the room, humidifies the person and prevents drying of the skin The direct humidification method can quickly and efficiently humidify people with a small amount of water. Moreover, the dew condensation to a wall surface or a window can be suppressed. In addition, although there is an air conditioner having a humidification function, a unit that performs cooling and heating and a unit that performs humidification are generally configured and installed in an upper portion of a room. When using an air conditioner with such a humidification function, the temperature and humidity at the bottom of the room may differ from the temperature and humidity at the location where the air conditioner is installed, and it is strong to humidify the bottom of the room Because it requires airflow, it is not suitable for sleep use. In addition to the steam discharge method, the humidifier method includes a vaporization method using a filter and an ultrasonic method using an ultrasonic element, but the vaporization method has a strong wind and the ultrasonic method. The humidifier area gets wet, so it is not suitable for sleep use. That is, when the vaporizing type and ultrasonic type humidifiers are arranged close to a person, the wind or the like may disturb comfortable sleep.

  The activity state detection unit 23 is not limited to a configuration that measures the movement of a person using an infrared sensor or a radio wave sensor. Other configurations include non-contact measurement of human movement such as analysis of images captured by a camera. In addition, there is an acceleration sensor installed on the bedding 30 that measures a person's movement. Moreover, the measurement result by the surface temperature sensor 13 of the air conditioning unit 1 may be acquired, and the acquired measurement result may be analyzed to determine the presence or absence of human movement.

  When a control device (not shown) such as a HEMS (Home Energy Management System) is installed in the house, the control device may communicate with the air conditioning unit 1 and the humidifying unit 2 to perform control.

  Here, the sleep state will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of changes in the sleep state from when a person starts sleeping until he / she wakes up. FIG. 3 shows the relationship between body movement and sleep depth indicating the depth of sleep, deep body temperature that is deeply related to sleep, that is, temperature change in the center of the body (rectal temperature). . A broken line indicates a rough change in the deep body temperature. The height of the vertical line indicating body movement indicates the magnitude of the body movement, and the high vertical line indicates large body movement.

  As shown in FIG. 3, during the period from when a person starts sleeping to the next awakening, the sleep shifts in the order of sleep depths 1, 2, 3, and 4, and then the sleep depth 3 The sleep cycle of transitioning to 2, 1, 1, REM sleep is usually repeated at a period of about 90 minutes. The first half of sleep is deep sleep and insensitive to external stimuli such as airflow and temperature / humidity, but in the latter half sleep is shallow, sleep depths 3 and 4 are not so much, and it becomes easy to respond to external stimuli. In addition, since a body motion decreases so that sleep is deep, a sleep state can be estimated from the frequency of a body motion.

  For example, the time at which body motion is detected is stored, the total number of body motions that have occurred in a certain past time is compared with a threshold value for determining the sleep state, and the sleep state is estimated from the comparison result . The sleep state may be estimated from the comparison result by comparing the time width for detecting the body movement, that is, the time from when the body movement is detected until the next body movement is detected, with a threshold value. The sleep state may be estimated by other methods.

  A person's deep body temperature during sleep gradually decreases from the time of sleep, and after reaching a minimum body temperature, it gradually increases and begins to prepare for activities.

  Next, the operation of the air-conditioning system 100 according to the present embodiment will be described taking cooling operation as an example. Here, the control at the time of sleeping in a bedroom is demonstrated using FIGS. 4-8. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the air conditioning system, FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a sleep actual feeling input screen, FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a sleep result screen, FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a driving content notification screen, and FIG. FIG.

  The air conditioning system 100 starts driving when receiving a driving instruction from a user who starts sleeping (step S1). Here, it is assumed that the user has instructed the start of a pleasant sleep control operation that is an operation mode assumed to be used during sleep. This instruction is performed using the user interface unit 28, and information for instructing the sleep control operation is transmitted to the control unit 14 of the air conditioning unit 1 via the communication unit 17 and the communication unit 27, and the air conditioning unit 1 and the humidification unit are transmitted. Shared between the two.

  When the sleep control operation is instructed, the air conditioning unit 1 starts the cooling operation, and the humidification unit 2 starts the humidifying operation or the air blowing operation. Whether the humidifying unit 2 performs the humidifying operation or the blowing operation may be determined based on at least one of room temperature and humidity, or may be performed in advance, for example, a blowing operation. When the air conditioning system 100 starts operation, the activity state detection unit 23 also starts operation, and detects the activity state of the person existing in the bedroom 200. The control part 24 of the humidification unit 2 acquires the detection result by the activity condition detection part 23, and records the acquired detection result in the memory | storage part 26 for every fixed time.

  In the case of the sleep control operation, the air conditioning unit 1 lowers the set temperature in the early stage of sleep to promote sleep onset, that is, cools the room temperature to be lower than the actual set temperature, thereby promoting sleep onset.

  After starting the sleep control operation, the temperature / humidity sensor 12 of the air conditioning unit 1 detects the temperature and humidity in the room (step S2). Next, the surface temperature sensor 13 of the air conditioning unit 1 detects the human skin temperature (step S3). Since a person is a heating element, the skin temperature is higher than room temperature, and the surface temperature sensor 13 can specify the skin temperature. It is also possible to estimate the position of a person from the skin temperature. As a result of detecting the skin temperature, the air-conditioning unit 11 uses the direction in which the cold air is blown out, for example, for controlling the user.

  Next, the control unit 24 of the humidification unit 2 determines whether or not the user's sleep state, that is, the user's sleep is deep, based on the detection result of the activity state detection unit 23 (step S4). In step S4, for example, when the sleep state of the user is the sleep depth 3 or 4 shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 24 determines that the sleep is deep sleep, which is a deep state. The determination result by the control unit 24 is transmitted to the control unit 14 of the cooling unit 1. That is, the determination result by the control unit 24 is passed to the control unit 14 via the communication unit 27 that is the first communication unit and the communication unit 17 that is the second communication unit. The determination result passed from the control unit 24 to the control unit 14 is sleep information indicating the depth of sleep of the user. The control unit 24 that is the first control unit controls the operation of the humidifying unit 21 based on the sleep information that is the determination result in step S <b> 4, and the control unit 14 that is the second control unit receives the sleep received from the control unit 24. The operation of the air conditioning unit 11 is controlled based on the information.

  When the user sleeps deeply (step S4: Yes), since the user is insensitive to the surrounding environment, the control unit 14 controls the air-conditioning unit 11 to perform a strong operation, and the control unit 24 controls the humidifying unit. It controls so that 21 may become a strong driving | operation (step S5). That is, the air-conditioning unit 11 performs cooling more strongly so that the room temperature is lower than the actual set temperature. As a result, the user secretes fatigue recovery hormone and can obtain good quality sleep. In addition, the humidifying unit 21 moisturizes the user to keep the skin and hair moist and suppress drying due to cooling.

  On the other hand, when the user's sleep is shallow (step S4: No), the user is sensitive to the airflow and the sound, so the control unit 14 is weak in the air conditioning unit 11 in order to avoid the influence of the airflow and the temperature difference. Control is performed so that the operation is performed, and the control unit 24 performs control so that the humidification unit 21 performs the air blowing operation (step S6). Here, an operation state other than the strong operation is called a weak operation, and an operation performed so that the room temperature becomes the set temperature is also included in the weak operation. In step S <b> 6, the air conditioning unit 11 performs cooling so that the room temperature is equal to or higher than the actual set temperature, and the humidifying unit 21 performs a blowing operation in order to suppress an increase in thermal feeling due to humidification. .

  Next, the control unit 24 of the humidification unit 2 determines whether or not the user's sleep progress, that is, sleep is the first half, based on the detection result of the activity state detection unit 23 (step S7). As shown in FIG. 3, since the second half of the sleep is almost shallow sleep, it is possible to determine the progress of sleep using this. The control unit 24 determines the progress of sleep of the user by comparing the number of body movements per hour of the user with a threshold value for determining the sleep progress.

  When sleep is the first half (step S7: Yes), the control part 24 of the humidification unit 2 confirms whether the fixed time passed from the driving | operation start, ie, performing step S1, (step S8). If the predetermined time has not elapsed (step S8: No), the process returns to step S2. On the other hand, when the fixed time has elapsed (step S8: Yes), the control unit 24 of the humidification unit 2 notifies the control unit 14 of the air conditioning unit 1 to change the set temperature, and the control that has received this notification The unit 14 changes the set temperature of the air conditioning unit 11 (step S9). In the second half of the sleep, as described above, the control unit 14 increases the set temperature in step S9 because sleep is shallow, the body temperature needs to be gradually increased, and for the purpose of preventing the sleep. In step S8, it is confirmed whether or not a certain time has elapsed from the start of driving because the amount of body movement is not accumulated due to a detection error or the like of the activity state detection unit 23, and that the second half of sleep is entered in step S7. This is because the progress of sleep is determined from the elapsed time, assuming a case where it cannot be detected.

  If the control unit 24 of the humidifying unit 2 determines in step S7 that sleep has entered the second half (step S7: No), the process proceeds to step S9.

  After executing Step S9, the control unit 24 of the humidifying unit 2 confirms whether the elapsed time from the start of driving has reached the sleep end time or the user has woken up (Step S10). The sleep end time is a time that can be set by the user at the start of driving, for example, 8 hours. The air conditioning system 100 automatically stops driving when the elapsed time from the start of driving reaches the sleep end time. Moreover, the control part 24 of the humidification unit 2 determines whether the user got up based on the detection result by the active state detection part 23, ie, the number of body movements which the active state detection part 23 detected per time. .

  The control unit 24 of the humidifying unit 2 performs the confirmation operation in step S10 when the elapsed time since the start of driving has not reached the sleep end time and the user is sleeping (step S10: No). repeat.

  The control part 24 of the humidification unit 2 stops the driving | operation of the humidification part 21, when the elapsed time after starting driving | running | working reaches sleep end time, or when a user wakes up (step S10: Yes). At the same time, the control unit 14 of the air conditioning unit 1 is instructed to stop the operation, and the control unit 14 that has received this instruction stops the operation of the air conditioning unit 11 (step S11).

  Next, the control part 24 of the humidification unit 2 displays the sleep actual feeling input screen 50 shown in FIG. 5 on the user interface part 28 (step S12). The sleep actual feeling input screen 50 includes an input unit 51 for the user to input information, and allows the user to input the actual sleep feeling of the day. The input unit 51 includes an operation button 511 displaying “good”, an operation button 512 displaying “normal”, and an operation button 513 displaying “bad”. In addition, the sleep experience input screen 50 includes an operation button for transitioning to the next screen, that is, an operation button 514 displayed as “view the result without input”, and a sleep experience when the input is troublesome. An operation button for terminating the display of the input screen 50, that is, an operation button 515 displayed as “End” is included. Note that the control unit 24 of the humidifying unit 2 continues to display the sleep feeling input screen 50 until any one of the operation buttons 511 to 515 of the input unit 51 is operated, that is, selected.

  The control unit 24 of the humidifying unit 2 goes to the user interface unit 28 when the operation button 515 displayed as “End” is selected in the input unit 51 of the sleep feeling input screen 50 shown in FIG. Turn off the display. When any of the operation buttons 511 to 514 is selected, the control unit 24 of the humidifying unit 2 displays the sleep result screen 52 shown in FIG. 6 on the user interface unit 28 (step S13). The control unit 24 of the humidification unit 2 graphs the detection result of the activity state detection unit 23 recorded in the storage unit 26 at regular time intervals on the day and displays the result on the sleep result screen 52 as the sleep result 53. Since the sleep result 53 is displayed after the sleep feeling input screen 50 displayed in step S12 described above, the user's selection is not influenced by the sleep result 53 when inputting the sleep feeling in step S12.

  Further, since the user does not know what state he / she is during sleep, it is useful for health management to display the word point 54 on the sleep result screen 52 as well. The control unit 24 of the humidification unit 2 displays the operation content 55 of the air conditioning unit 1 and the operation content 56 of the humidification unit 2 on the sleep result screen 52. In addition, the control part 24 of the humidification unit 2 acquires the information required in order to display the driving | operation content 55 from the control part 14 of the air conditioning unit 1 before displaying the sleep result screen 52. FIG. In addition, the sleep result screen 52 is an operation button 57 for ending the display of the sleep result screen 52, specifically, an operation button for transitioning to the next screen, that is, an operation displayed as “view news”. A button and an operation button that terminates the display without transitioning to the next screen, that is, an operation button that displays “End”.

  The control unit 24 of the humidifying unit 2 turns off the display on the user interface unit 28 when the operation button displayed as “End” in the sleep result screen 52 shown in FIG. 6 is selected. The control unit 24 of the humidifying unit 2 displays the driving content notification screen 58 shown in FIG. 7 on the user interface unit 28 when the operation button displayed as “view news” is selected in the sleep result screen 52 ( Step S14).

  Since the air conditioning unit 1 and the humidification unit 2 perform the operation according to the user, it is not known what operation was actually performed. The driving contents 55 and 56 are displayed on the sleep result screen 52 shown in FIG. 6, and the user is notified of the driving control according to the state of the user on the driving contents notification screen 58 shown in FIG. You can also feel the appreciation for 100. For example, it is conceivable to display such as “It seemed that it was hard to sleep, so it was blown from 4 o'clock” and “It seemed that it was going to go to sleep, so the set temperature was raised from about 3 o'clock”. At this time, the appreciation of the air conditioning system 100 can be further strengthened by anthropomorphizing the home appliance using an icon or the like. Further, the operation content notification screen 58 includes an input unit 59 configured to include a plurality of operation buttons 591 to 595. The user can input the user's feeling to the device of the air conditioning unit 1 and the humidifying unit 2 at the input unit 59.

  When any one of the operation buttons included in the input unit 59 of the operation content notification screen 58 is selected by the user, the control unit 24 of the humidifying unit 2 displays the operation end screen 60 shown in FIG. When the predetermined time has elapsed, the operation end screen 60 is turned off (step S15). The driving end screen 60 may display sleep advice or how to spend the day to improve sleep.

  First information which is information indicating the sleep result 53 displayed on the sleep result screen 52 shown in FIG. 6, sleep feeling input by the user on the sleep feeling input screen 50 shown in FIG. 5, that is, operation buttons 511 to 513. The second information, which is information indicating the selection result of the operation, and the result of the user's input on the operation content notification screen 58 illustrated in FIG. 7, that is, the third information which is the information indicating the selection result of the operation buttons 591 to 593. Information is stored in the storage unit 26. The first information, the second information, and the third information stored in the storage unit 26 are learned from the next day after the control unit 24 of the humidification unit 2 and the control unit 14 of the air conditioning unit 1 learn the user's preference. It may be used for the operation control. For example, in the screen shown in FIG. 7, when the user selects the operation button 593 displayed as “bad” for the execution of air blowing, the control unit 24 performs the operation control of the humidifying unit 21 on and after the next day. Do not blow even if the user is struggling to sleep.

  The first information, the second information, and the third information stored in the storage unit 26 are used for the purpose of realizing a function of extracting daily bad habits and displaying them on the user interface unit 28. May be. For example, the operation notification screen 58 may display information on customization of operation control according to a user's favorite learning result, correction of the user's setting in consideration of outside air, and the like. On the driving end screen 60, content that advises personal habits, such as a state in which the bedtime is late, may be displayed.
