<Embodiment>
Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
The structure of the air conditioning system 1 by one Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.
An air conditioning system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that controls air conditioning at a position by acquiring information on a position in a map of a room where an indoor unit for air conditioning specified by a user is installed.
As shown in FIG. 1, the air conditioning system 1 includes an air conditioning indoor unit 10, an environment setting terminal 20, and an air conditioning control device 30.

The air conditioning indoor unit 10 sends air to a position specified by the user.
The environment setting terminal 20 transmits to the air conditioning control device 30 user setting information in which the position specified by the user in the indoor map in which the air conditioning indoor unit 10 is installed is associated with the requested environment setting.
Here, the indoor map in which the air conditioning indoor unit 10 is installed is, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the room in which the air conditioning indoor unit 10 is installed is divided into 31 regions, and the room is looked down on. It is a map. Region numbers 1 to 31 are assigned to the respective regions, and specifying the region number means specifying the position in the room. Each area may be specified by coordinates as shown in FIG. 3 instead of the area number. For example, the coordinates of the center of each area may be adopted as the coordinates, or the coordinates of a predetermined position of each area (for example, the lower left position of each area in FIG. 3) may be adopted. May be. FIG. 3 shows an example of coordinates corresponding to the area number 12 shown in FIG. 2, and coordinates corresponding to area numbers other than the area number 12 are omitted in FIG.
The required environment setting is a setting value of the environment requested by the user at the position specified by the user, and is a setting value including at least the temperature and the air volume at the position specified by the user.

  The air conditioning control device 30 controls the air conditioning indoor unit 10 based on the user setting information. Specifically, the air conditioning control device 30 receives the user setting information from the environment setting terminal 20, and the temperature indicated by the requested environment setting with respect to the position specified by the user included in the received user setting information. The control signal for realizing the set value of the air volume is specified, and the specified control signal is transmitted to the air conditioning indoor unit 10 to control the air conditioning indoor unit 10. The control signal for realizing the set values of the temperature and the air volume indicated by the required environment setting is obtained in advance by simulation or experiment, for example, and stored in the storage unit.

As shown in FIG. 4, the indoor unit 10 for air conditioning includes a communication unit 101 and a blower mechanism 102.
The communication unit 101 communicates with the air conditioning control device 30. The communication unit 101 receives a control signal for realizing the set value indicated by the required environment setting from the air conditioning control device 30.

  The blower mechanism 102 blows air at a temperature, an air volume, a wind direction, or the like according to the control signal received by the communication unit 101.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the environment setting terminal 20 includes a map information acquisition unit 201, a display unit 202 (an example of a map display unit), an input unit 203 (an example of a position input unit, an example of an environment input unit), A storage unit 204 and a communication unit 205 (an example of a transmission unit) are provided. The environment setting terminal 20 is, for example, a smartphone.

The map information acquisition unit 201 acquires information indicating a map of the room in which the air conditioning indoor unit 10 is installed.
Specifically, the map information acquisition unit 201 acquires information indicating a map while the person holding the environment setting terminal 20 is moving in the room where the air conditioning indoor unit 10 is installed.
For example, when installing the air conditioning indoor unit 10 in a room, the person in charge of the installation carries the environment setting terminal 20 and moves along the wall as shown in FIG. While the person in charge of the installation is moving in the room, the map information acquisition unit 201 calculates the movement direction and the movement distance based on sensor information such as an acceleration sensor and a gyro sensor, and acquires the shape of the room. The moving direction and moving distance calculated by the map information acquisition unit 201 based on information such as an acceleration sensor and a gyro sensor are used when the car navigation system cannot use a GPS (Global Positioning System) function, for example. What is necessary is just to calculate using the technique of the autonomous navigation which estimates the moving direction and moving distance of a motor vehicle using information, such as an acceleration sensor and a gyro sensor. The map information acquisition unit 201 divides the acquired room shape into a plurality of regions. Then, the map information acquisition unit 201 adds the position of the air outlet of the air conditioning indoor unit 10 to the map, for example, by inputting position information by a person in charge of installation or a user.

  For example, the map information acquisition unit 201 may acquire information indicating a map of the room in which the air conditioning indoor unit 10 is installed by the following method. Each of the three or more microphones is installed at a different position where the position can be specified on the ceiling of the room. When installing the air conditioning indoor unit 10 in the room, the person in charge of the installation carries the environment setting terminal 20 and moves along the wall (in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 6) as shown in FIG. . While the person in charge of installation moves in the room, the environment setting terminal 20 outputs ultrasonic waves. The map generation device (not shown) calculates the position of the environment setting terminal 20 that outputs the ultrasonic wave based on the timing difference at which each microphone received the ultrasonic wave from the environment setting terminal 20 and the position of each microphone, The shape is acquired, and the room having the acquired shape is divided into a plurality of regions to generate a map. A map generation device (not shown) adds the position of the outlet of the air conditioning indoor unit 10 to the map, for example, by inputting position information by a person in charge of installation or a user. And the map information acquisition part 201 acquires a map from the map production | generation apparatus which is not shown in figure.

  For example, the map information acquisition unit 201 may acquire information indicating the map from room layout information or CAD (Computer-Aided Design) information in which the air conditioning indoor unit 10 is installed. Specifically, the map information acquisition unit 201 has a scanner function, and reads a drawing showing a room layout with the scanner function. Alternatively, the map information acquisition unit 201 has a camera function, and photographs a drawing showing a room layout with the camera function. The drawing showing the floor plan includes a handwritten drawing. The user can input an instruction for correcting the handwritten outline of the floor plan to a straight line or a curve to the map information acquisition unit 201.

It is conceivable that the straight line or the curve is generated using a Bezier curve, a spline curve, a broken line passing through a control point, or the like used in, for example, computer graphics. As an example, FIG. 7 shows an image of an image processing method for taking control points for applying a function representing a straight line or a curve generated as described above. FIG. 7A is an original image. An image obtained by scanning the original image is binarized (FIG. 7B), and a contour line is extracted. The coordinates of the control points are acquired at appropriate intervals (not necessarily equal intervals) along the contour line (FIG. 7C). Control points are interpolated by Bezier curves, spline curves, polygonal lines, etc. (FIG. 7D). Note that the start point and the end point are matched to form a closed curve.
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 8, the influence of noise may be reduced by taking a moving average of coordinates along a curve.
When using the above function, the order of the function may be set by the user inputting a numerical value as a user interface, for example. For example, a “coarse” button and a “fine” button are prepared. When the user reproduces a curve according to the number of times the “rough” button is pressed, the number of unit pixels of the pixel responsible for displaying the curve portion is increased, thereby displaying a curve that is coarser than the curve of the original image. In addition, when the user reproduces the curve according to the number of times the user presses the “fine” button, the number of unit pixels of the pixel responsible for displaying the curve portion is reduced, thereby displaying a curve finer than the curve of the original image. . In this way, it may be possible to adjust whether the curve of the original image is roughly displayed or faithfully displayed. The display may be a previewable one.
When an instruction by the user for correcting the handwritten outline of the floor plan into a straight line or a curve is input, the map information acquisition unit 201 corrects the outline of the floor plan according to the input instruction. The map information acquisition unit 201 writes the floor plan read by the scanner function or the floor plan shot by the camera function as a map in the storage unit 204, for example. In addition, the user can map the height information of the indoor space and the information indicating the position of the door, window, obstacle, etc. by an operation of inputting coordinates or an operation of instructing on the display screen of the display unit 202. The information is input to the information acquisition unit 201. Thereby, the map information acquisition part 201 acquires the map which has the height information of indoor space, and the information which shows the positions, such as a door, a window, and an obstruction. Note that the height information of the indoor space and information indicating the positions of doors, windows, obstacles, and the like are used for air conditioning control by the air conditioning control device 30 at positions specified by the user.
Note that the map information acquisition unit 201 determines the shape of the room from only the position information at each corner of the room when the wall of the room is a plane, that is, when the shape when the room is viewed from above does not include a curve. It is also possible to identify and acquire the generated map.

The size of one area may be an arbitrary size. For example, the size of one area may be determined in advance. In addition, for example, the size of one area may be determined by a plurality of candidates prepared in advance and the map creator selecting from a plurality of candidates each time a map is generated. Good. In addition, for example, the size of one area is a numerical value that the map creator specifies the size of the area every time a map is generated (for example, when the area is a rectangle, the vertical length and the horizontal length). ) May be determined. If the size of one area is an area occupied by one person, it is unlikely that there are multiple people in the same area, so each user always sets the required environment settings to their preferred setting values. Can be set.
In addition, the shape of one region may be an arbitrary shape including a hexagonal shape or a triangular lattice shape other than a quadrangle.

  If the room is large or the grid is fine, the user can zoom in / out by pinching in / pinch out on the screen of the display unit 202, or the user can perform flick / swipe operations. It may be set such as scrolling. In this way, by allowing the user to perform operations such as zooming in / out and scrolling on the screen of the display unit 202, the number of erroneous operations by the user can be reduced.

  Note that there is only one map that is common to the environment setting terminals 20, and when a new map is generated, the existing map is overwritten. When the position designated by the user is the user's position itself, a map indicating each room visited by the user in the past, the position information in the room, and the identification information of the user are associated with each other, for example, a storage unit The user identification information and the map associated with the position information may be read from the storage unit 204 by writing in 204 and specifying the position information. The position information indicating the current position of the user may be acquired by, for example, GPS (Global Positioning System). The location information for specifying the map of the room where the user is currently present is, for example, when a transmitter (receiver) provided in the room receives a signal from the wireless tag or each environment setting terminal 20. The position information may be acquired as a position in a room where the transmitter is provided. In addition, the user's position information is acquired as the position of the room where the card reader is provided by holding the entrance card storing the user's identification information over the card reader provided at the entrance of the room. May be. Further, an entrance gate may be used instead of the above-described card reader, or the user's position may be specified by logging in to a personal computer, and position information may be acquired.

The display unit 202 displays a map of the room where the air conditioning indoor unit 10 is installed. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, a map showing the shape of the room, each region into which the room is divided, and the outlets F (two in the example shown in FIG. 9) of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 in the room is displayed. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, the display unit 202 shows setting values (temperature and air volume in the example shown in FIG. 9) of required environment settings designated by the user. Note that the display unit 202 scrolls the map being generated by the map generation device while the person in charge of the installation is moving in the room, and the display unit 202 adjusts the map to an appropriate scale. May manually adjust the map to an appropriate scale.
The display unit 202 is not limited to the outlet, and may display an obstacle, a door, a window, a desk, a sofa, a chiffon, a shelf, a copy machine, and the like on the screen. For example, illustrations showing parts such as obstacles, doors, windows, desks, sofas, chests, shelves, copiers, etc. are prepared in advance outside the map area of the screen, and the user displays those illustrations on the screen of the display unit 202. Specify the location by dragging and dropping it onto the map. The display unit 202 displays those parts on the map according to the designation. The size and shape of the part may be selected or input from another setting menu, or may be adjusted by a pinch-in / pinch-out operation. The information on the map in which these parts are arranged may be used for air conditioning control by the air conditioning control device 30 at a position specified by the user. In addition, the material of the indoor wall or the object placed in the room may be set. In that case, the air conditioning at the position specified by the user is taken into consideration for ease of heat transfer. The control device 30 can control the air conditioning.

The input unit 203 receives an input of a position designated by the user on the map, that is, a position (for example, a position designated by the user) where the air conditioning setting is desired on the map. For example, in the map displayed on the display unit 202 by the user, an input is performed by designating an area number for designating an area to be set for air conditioning with a cursor. Further, for example, the user inputs a value to be set by pressing a button for inputting coordinates for designating a region in the map displayed on the display unit 202. The input unit 203 receives a signal indicating an area designated by a user operation.
Further, the input unit 203 receives an input of required environment settings including at least the temperature and the air volume specified by the operation by the user. The input unit 203 writes the received requested environment setting in the storage unit 204.

The storage unit 204 stores user request environment settings.
The communication unit 205 receives the user setting information associated with the requested environment setting and the position specified by the user in the indoor map where the air conditioning indoor unit 10 is installed, which is received by the input unit 203. 30.

As shown in FIG. 10, the air conditioning control device 30 includes a communication unit 301 and a control unit 302.
The communication unit 301 communicates with the environment setting terminal 20. Specifically, the communication unit 301 transmits, from the environment setting terminal 20, user setting information in which the position specified by the user in the indoor map where the air conditioning indoor unit 10 is installed and the requested environment setting are associated. Receive.
The communication unit 301 communicates with the air conditioning indoor unit 10. Specifically, the communication unit 301 transmits a control signal for realizing the set value indicated by the requested environment setting received from the environment setting terminal 20 to the indoor unit 10 for air conditioning.

  The control unit 302 controls the temperature, amount, direction, and the like of the wind sent out by the air conditioning indoor unit 10.
