Store it in association. When the first control information storage unit 131 divides one year into five driving periods “spring”, “rainy season”, “summer”, “autumn”, and “winter”, for example, as shown in FIG. The operation mode information and set temperature identification information at each operation time are stored.

  The second control information storage unit 132 stores the second control information including the operation mode information newly set by the user and the set temperature identification information in association with the operation time when the second control information is set. For example, when the user newly sets the operation mode information and the set temperature information via the operation unit 16 within the period corresponding to “spring”, the second control information storage unit 132 stores the newly set operation mode information and The set temperature information is stored in association with the season identification information “IDS1” of “spring”.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, the set temperature information storage unit 133 stores temperature information indicating the set temperature of the air conditioner 2 in association with a combination of operation mode identification information and set temperature identification information.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the operation information acquisition unit 111 acquires operation information indicating the operation content of the user with respect to the operation unit 16. For example, the operation information acquisition unit 111 displays an operation screen 161 a as illustrated in FIG. 4 on the display unit 161. Then, the operation information acquisition unit 111 acquires information indicating the button selected by the user via the input unit 162 among the buttons B1, B21, B22, B23, and B3 displayed on the operation screen 161a. For example, when the user selects the automatic button B1, the operation information acquisition unit 111 acquires information indicating the automatic button B1.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the operation content determination unit 112 determines the operation content indicated by the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 111. The operation content determination unit 112 notifies the control information generation unit 113, the update unit 114, or the specification unit 116 of information indicating the operation content according to the determined operation content. For example, when the automatic button B1 in the operation screen 161a illustrated in FIG. 4 is selected, the operation content determination unit 112 notifies the specifying unit 116 of information indicating the automatic button B1. Further, when any of the “higher” button B21, “standard” button B22, and “lower” button B23 in the operation screen 161a is selected, the operation content determination unit 112 generates information indicating the selected button as control information generation To the unit 113.

  The timer unit 115 includes, for example, a software timer, and outputs date / time information indicating the time when the operation information acquisition unit 111 acquires the operation information.

  When the operation content determination unit 112 determines that the operation information indicates the first operation content that is an operation of selecting any of the temperature setting buttons, the control information generation unit 113 newly operates based on the first operation content. Second control information including mode information and set temperature identification information is generated. The format of the second control information is the same as the format of the first control information. As the temperature setting buttons, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a “high” button B21, a “standard” button B22, and a “low” button B23 are provided. For example, in the “summer” season, it is assumed that the user selects the “higher” button B21 from the operation unit 16 while the air conditioner 2 is operating in the “cooling” mode. In this case, the control information generation unit 113 acquires the set temperature identification information IDT1 corresponding to the combination of the “cooling” mode and “high” from the set temperature information storage unit 133, and includes the acquired set temperature identification information IDT1. Second control information is generated. Then, the control information generation unit 113 specifies the driving time at the time when the operation information acquisition unit 111 acquires the operation information based on the date / time information input from the time measuring unit 115, and specifies the generated second control information. It is stored in the second control information storage unit 132 in association with the operation timing.

  When the operation content determination unit 112 determines that the operation information indicates the second operation content that is an operation for selecting the automatic button B1, the specifying unit 116 stores a plurality of first controls stored in the first control information storage unit 131. From the information, the first control information corresponding to the driving time at the time when the operation information is acquired is specified. Here, the specifying unit 116 specifies the driving time when the operation information is acquired from the operation information acquiring unit 111 based on the date / time information input from the time measuring unit 115, and the first control corresponding to the specified driving time. Identify information.

  When the operation content determination unit 112 determines that the operation information indicates the third operation content that is an operation of selecting the learning button B3, the update unit 114 stores the first control information stored in the first control information storage unit 131. A part is updated with the second control information stored in the second control information storage unit 132. Here, the update unit 114 stores the first control information stored in the first control information storage unit 131 and corresponding to the operation timing at the time when the operation information acquisition unit 111 acquires the operation information, and the second control information storage unit 132. Is updated with the second control information stored. Moreover, the update part 114 avoids the update of the 1st control information which the 1st control information storage part 131 memorize | stores, when the 2nd control information storage part 132 has not memorize | stored 2nd control information.

  When the operation content determining unit 112 determines that the operation information indicates the first operation content, the control signal generation unit 117 controls the control signal based on the second control information stored in the second control information storage unit 132. Is generated. On the other hand, when the operation content determining unit 112 determines that the operation information indicates the second operation content or the third operation content, the control signal generating unit 117 is based on the first control information specified by the specifying unit 116. To generate a control signal. The control signal generation unit 117 transmits the generated control signal to the air conditioner 2 via the communication unit 105.

  Next, an air conditioner control process executed by the control device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. This air conditioner control process is started, for example, when the power is supplied to the control device 1 while the air conditioner 2 is operating.

  First, the operation information acquisition unit 111 determines whether operation information has been acquired from the operation unit 16 (step S101). Here, the operation information acquisition part 111 will acquire operation information, and will determine with having acquired operation information, if the operation via the input part 162 of the operation part 16 by a user is received. The operation information acquisition unit 111 maintains the standby state unless operation information is acquired (step S101: No). On the other hand, when the operation information acquisition unit 111 acquires the operation information (step S101: Yes), the operation content determination unit 112 determines whether or not the operation content indicated by the operation information indicates selection of the temperature setting button ( Step S102).

  Assume that the operation content determination unit 112 determines that the operation content indicated by the operation information indicates the above-described first operation content, that is, selection of the temperature setting button (step S102: Yes). In this case, the control information generation unit 113 acquires date information from the time measuring unit 115 (step S103). Next, the control information generation unit 113 newly adds the second control information including the operation mode information and the set temperature identification information based on the first operation content, that is, the type of the temperature setting button selected by the user. Generated and stored in the second control information storage unit 132 in association with the acquired date and time information (step S104). Here, the control information generation unit 113 responds to the combination of the operation mode identification information indicating the operation mode of the air conditioner 2 and the set temperature identification information corresponding to the selected temperature setting button from the set temperature information storage unit 133. The set temperature identification information is acquired, and second control information including the acquired set temperature identification information is generated. Thereafter, the control signal generation unit 117 acquires the second control information from the second control information storage unit 132 (step S105), and the process of step S113 described later is executed.

  In step S102, when the operation content determination unit 112 determines that the operation content indicated by the operation information indicates other than the selection of the temperature setting button (step S102: No), the operation content is the above-described third operation content, That is, it is determined whether or not an operation for selecting the learning button B3 is indicated (step S106). When the operation content determination unit 112 determines that the operation content indicated by the operation information indicates the above-described second operation content, that is, selection of the automatic button (step S106: No), the process of step S110 described later is executed. The

  On the other hand, when the operation content determination unit 112 determines that the operation content indicated by the operation information indicates the above-described third operation content, that is, selection of the learning button (step S106: Yes), the update unit 114 performs the second operation. It is determined whether or not the control information storage unit 132 stores the second control information (step S107). Here, the second control information storage unit 132, when the operation information acquisition unit 111 has not previously acquired the first operation content, that is, the operation information indicating the selection of the temperature setting button, that is, the temperature by the user When there is no history that the setting button has been selected, the second control information is not stored. If the update unit 114 determines that the second control information storage unit 132 does not store the second control information (step S107: No), the process of step S110 described later is executed.

  On the other hand, it is assumed that the update unit 114 determines that the second control information storage unit 132 stores the second control information (step S107: Yes). In this case, the update unit 114 acquires the second control information from the second control information storage unit 132 (step S108), and the operation information acquisition unit 111 stored in the first control information storage unit 131 acquires the operation information. The first control information corresponding to the current operation timing is updated with the acquired second control information (step S109).

  Subsequently, the specifying unit 116 acquires date and time information from the time measuring unit 115 (step S110), refers to the period information stored in the first control information storage unit 131, and acquires operation information based on the acquired date and time information. The driving time when the operation information is acquired from the unit 111 is specified. And specific part 116 specifies the 1st control information corresponding to the specified driving time (Step S111).

  Thereafter, the control signal generation unit 117 acquires the specified first control information (step S112), generates a control signal based on the acquired first control information, and transmits the control signal to the air conditioner 2 (step S113). . Next, the process of step S101 is executed again.

  As described above, in the control device 1 according to the present embodiment, even after the user performs the above-described first operation content operation on the operation unit 16, that is, the temperature setting button is selected. As long as the first control information in the first control information storage unit 131 is not updated with the second control information, the second operation information is operated on the operation unit 16, that is, only the selection of the automatic button is performed. A control signal based on one control information is transmitted to the air conditioner 2. That is, the user operates the air conditioner 2 based on the second control information by performing the operation of the first operation content on the operation unit 16, and then performs the second operation on the operation unit 16. The air conditioner 2 can be operated again based on the first control information simply by operating the operation content. Therefore, the user can easily switch the operation state of the air conditioner 2 between the operation state based on the first control information and the operation state based on the second control information, so that the convenience for the user is improved. To do. Moreover, the update part 114 updates the 1st control information corresponding to the driving time at the time of acquiring the operation information which the 1st control information storage part 131 memorize | stores with 2nd control information. Thereby, the user can customize the first control information stored in the first control information storage unit 131 by updating the first control information with the second control information according to the user's preference via the update unit 114. Therefore, user convenience is improved in this respect as well.

  In the air conditioner system according to the present embodiment, the air conditioner 2 can be operated with an optimal setting for each operation period, that is, for each season. In addition, when the user operates the air conditioner 2 in a so-called “automatic operation” based on the first control information stored in the first control information storage unit 131 in advance, Depending on the physical condition of the user, the air conditioner 2 can be temporarily operated based on the second control information newly set by the user. Then, when the air conditioner 2 is operating based on the second control information, the air conditioner 2 is operated again based on the first control information only by selecting the automatic button, that is, so-called automatic operation. Can be made. Furthermore, when the user likes the operation based on the second control information of the air conditioner 2, the user can store the second control information in the first control information storage unit 131, so that the user can repeatedly execute the second control information. This eliminates the need to make the setting, thus improving convenience.

(Embodiment 2)
In the control device according to the present embodiment, the operation time at which the update unit acquires the operation information stored in the first control information storage unit according to the number of acquisitions of the operation information indicating the first operation content described above. The first control information corresponding to is updated with the second control information. As shown in FIG. 6, the control device 2001 according to the present embodiment is different from the control device 1 according to the first embodiment in that it includes a counting unit 2114. In FIG. 6, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIG.

  The count unit 2114 counts the number of times that the control information generation unit 113 generates the second control information having the same content within one driving period. Here, the second control information storage unit 132 stores a plurality of second control information generated by the control information generation unit 113 in the past. The counting unit 2114 refers to the second control information stored in the second control information storage unit 132 and counts the number of times the second control information having the same content generated within one operation period is generated. The counting unit 2114 refers to the number threshold for the number of times of generation of the second control information with the same content stored in the auxiliary storage unit 103, and the number of times of generation of the second control information with the same content within one driving period is the number threshold. It is determined whether it is above. When the count unit 2114 determines that the number of times of generation of the second control information having the same content within one driving period is equal to or greater than the frequency threshold, the first control information storage unit 131 stores the first control information stored in the second control information. The update unit 114 is notified of update command information for instructing updating.

  When the update unit 114 receives the update command information, the update unit 114 stores the first control information corresponding to the operation timing stored in the first control information storage unit 131 when the number of times of generation of the second control information having the same content is equal to or greater than the frequency threshold. The second control information storage unit 132 updates the second control information stored therein. For example, when the number-of-times threshold is set to five times, the update unit 114 stores the first control information storage unit 131 when the second control information having the same content is generated five times within one driving period. The first control information corresponding to the operation period is updated with the second control information. In addition, the operation information acquisition unit 111 causes the display unit 161 to display an operation screen 161a including an automatic button B1 and temperature setting buttons B21, B22, and B23 as illustrated in FIG.

  Next, an air conditioner control process executed by the control device 2001 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. This air conditioner control process is started, for example, when the power is supplied to the control device 2001 while the air conditioner 2 is operating.

  First, when the operation information acquisition unit 111 acquires operation information from the operation unit 16 (step S201: Yes), the operation content determination unit 112 determines whether or not the operation content indicated by the operation information indicates selection of a temperature setting button. Is determined (step S202). Note that the processing in steps S201 and S202 is the same as the processing in steps S101 and S102 in FIG. 5 of the first embodiment. When the operation content determination unit 112 determines that the operation content indicated by the operation information indicates other than the selection of the temperature setting button (step S202: No), the processing after step S209 is executed. Note that the processing after step S209 is the same as the processing after step S110 in FIG. 5 of the first embodiment.

  On the other hand, it is assumed that the operation content determination unit 112 determines that the operation content indicated by the operation information indicates the above-described first operation content, that is, selection of the temperature setting button (step S202: Yes). In this case, the control information generation unit 113 acquires date and time information (step S203), and responds to the date and time information newly generated and acquired based on the type of the temperature setting button selected by the user. Then, it is stored in the second control information storage unit 132 (step S204).

  Next, the count unit 2114 counts the number of times that the control information generation unit 113 generates the second control information having the same content within one driving period. The counting unit 2114 refers to the number threshold for the number of times of generation of the second control information with the same content stored in the auxiliary storage unit 103, and the number of times of generation of the second control information with the same content within one driving period is the number threshold. It is determined whether or not this is the case (step S205).

  If it is determined by the control information determination unit 4119 that the air conditioner 3002 continues to operate according to the same control information as the second control information stored in the second control information storage unit 132 (step S419: Yes). Then, the process of step S401 is executed again. On the other hand, when it is determined by the control information determination unit 4119 that the air conditioner 3002 is operating according to control information different from the second control information stored in the second control information storage unit 132 (step S419: No) ), The control signal generation unit 117 acquires the second control information from the second control information storage unit 132 (step S420), and executes the process of step S414.

  As described above, in the control device 4001 according to the present embodiment, while the similarity determination unit 3118 does not acquire the operation information, the environment information acquisition unit 3115 periodically performs the air conditioner. Environmental information regarding the environment in which 3002 is installed is acquired. Then, when the environmental information acquired by the environmental information acquisition unit 3115 and the environmental information stored in the second control information storage unit 132 are similar, the control signal generation unit 117 generates a control signal based on the second control information. It is generated and transmitted to the air conditioner 3002.

Sent. Therefore, it is possible to provide a comfortable indoor environment for the user while saving the user from changing the setting of the air conditioner 3002.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the control device 1 may control a plurality (two in FIG. 16) of air conditioners 2A and 2B. In FIG. 16, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. The functional configuration of the control device 1 is the same as the functional configuration shown in FIG. In this case, the first control information storage unit 131 shown in FIG. 2 operates the air conditioners 2A and 2B in accordance with each of a plurality of operation periods in a preset year for each of the two air conditioners 2A and 2B. First control information including mode information and set temperature identification information is stored in association with a plurality of operation periods. For example, as shown in FIG. 17, the first control information storage unit 131 divides one year into five driving periods “spring”, “rainy season”, “summer”, “autumn”, and “winter”. The operation mode information and set temperature identification information of the air conditioners 2A and 2B at the time are stored. Further, the operation information acquisition unit 111 illustrated in FIG. 2 displays an operation screen 5161a as illustrated in FIG. 18 on the display unit 161, for example. And the operation information acquisition part 111 acquires the information which shows the button which the user selected via the input part 162 among the buttons B1, B5121, B5122, B5123, B5221, B5222, B5223, and B3 displayed on the operation screen 161a. To do. Here, the buttons B5121, B5122, and B5123 are temperature setting buttons corresponding to the air conditioner 2A. Buttons B5221, B5222, and B5223 are temperature setting buttons corresponding to the air conditioner 2B.

  According to this configuration, it is possible to individually set the operating state according to the installation location of each air conditioner 2A, 2B while having a configuration in which the plurality of air conditioners 2A, 2B are controlled by one control device 1. It becomes.

  In the first embodiment, an example is described in which the first control information storage unit 131 stores one type of first control information of the air conditioner 2 corresponding to each of a plurality of operation times in association with the plurality of operation times. did. However, the first control information corresponding to each operation time is not limited to one type. For example, the first control information storage unit 131 may store a plurality of types of first control information of the air conditioner 2 corresponding to each of a plurality of operation periods in association with the plurality of operation periods.

  As shown in FIG. 19, control device 6001 according to the present embodiment is different from control device 1 according to Embodiment 1 in that it includes a counting unit 6114. The control device 6001 is different from the control device 1 according to the first embodiment in the content of the first control information stored in the first control information storage unit 131. In FIG. 19, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 2 are assigned to the same configurations as those in the first embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. 20, the first control information storage unit 131 shows three types of operation strengths of the two air conditioners 2 </ b> A and 2 </ b> B for each operation time when one year is divided into five operation times. Operation mode information and set temperature identification information corresponding to the type identification information IDS1 (strong), IDS2 (medium), and IDS3 (weak) may be stored. As shown in FIG. 21, the set temperature information storage unit 133 associates temperature information indicating the set temperatures of the air conditioners 2A and 2B with combinations of operation mode identification information and three types of set temperature identification information. Remember.

  The operation information acquisition unit 111 causes the display unit 161 to display an operation screen 6161a as illustrated in FIG. And the operation information acquisition part 111 acquires the information which shows the button which the user selected via the input part 162 among the automatic button B1, the strength setting button B6021, B6022, and the learning button B3 displayed on the operation screen 6161a. . Here, when an automatic button is selected in the initial stage when the control device 1 is turned on, the control signal generator 117 uses the first control information corresponding to the type identification information IDS2 (medium) shown in FIG. To generate a control signal. When the user selects the “strong” button B6021, the control information generation unit 113 acquires the first control information corresponding to the type identification information IDS1 (strong) stored in the first control information storage unit 131, and The second control information is stored in the second control information storage unit 132 as two control information. When the user selects the “weak” button B6022, the control information generation unit 113 acquires the first control information corresponding to the type identification information IDS3 (weak) stored in the first control information storage unit 131, and The second control information is stored in the second control information storage unit 132 as two control information.

  The count unit 6114 obtains date and time information from the time measuring unit 115 and counts the number of times the same strength setting button is selected by the user within one driving period. Further, the count unit 6114 refers to the threshold value for the number of times of selection of the same strength setting button stored in the auxiliary storage unit 103, and the number of times of selection of the same strength setting button within one driving period is the number of times. It is determined whether or not the threshold value is exceeded. When the count unit 6114 determines that the number of times the same strength setting button is selected within the one operation period is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the specific command information that instructs to newly specify the operation mode information included in the second control information And the date and time information are notified to the control information generation unit 113. When receiving the specific command information and the date / time information, the control information generation unit 113 newly specifies the operation mode information, generates second control information including the specified operation mode information, and associates it with the date / time information. The information is stored in the control information storage unit 132. For example, when the frequency threshold is set to two times, the control information generation unit 113 generates the newly specified operation mode information when the second control information having the same content is generated twice within one operation period. The second control information including the generated control information is stored in the second control information storage unit 132.

  Next, air conditioner control processing executed by the control device 6001 according to this modification will be described with reference to FIGS. 23 and 24. FIG. This air conditioner control process is started, for example, when the power is supplied to the control device 4001 while the air conditioner 3002 is operating.

  First, as illustrated in FIG. 23, when the operation information acquisition unit 111 acquires operation information from the operation unit 16 (step S601: Yes), the operation content determination unit 112 indicates that the operation content indicated by the operation information is a strength setting button. It is determined whether or not the first operation content, which is an operation for selecting, is indicated (step S602). Note that the processing in steps S601 and S602 is the same as the processing in steps S101 and S102 in FIG. 5 of the first embodiment. When the operation content determination unit 112 determines that the operation content indicated by the operation information indicates other than the selection of the strength setting button (step S602: No), the processing after step S603 is executed. Note that the processing after step S603 is the same as the processing after step S106 in FIG. 5 of the first embodiment.

  On the other hand, the operation content determination unit 112 determines that the operation content indicated by the operation information indicates the above-described first operation content, that is, an operation for selecting the strength setting button (step S602: Yes). In this case, the count unit 6114 acquires date and time information from the time measuring unit 115 as shown in FIG. 24 (step S611). Next, the count unit 6114 refers to the threshold value for the number of times that the same strength setting button, that is, the “strong” button or the “weak” button stored in the auxiliary storage unit 103 is selected, It is determined whether or not the number of times the same strength setting button is selected is equal to or greater than the threshold value (step S612). When it is determined by the count unit 6114 that the number of times the same strength setting button is selected within one driving period is less than the frequency threshold value (step S612: No), the control information generation unit 113 generates second control information. Then, it is stored in the second control information storage unit 132 in association with the date / time information (step S613). For example, when the air conditioners 2A and 2B are in an operation state corresponding to the first control information corresponding to “medium” and the user selects the “strong” button, the control information generation unit 113, for example, in FIG. Referring to the first control information storage unit 131 as shown, the first control information corresponding to “strong” is stored in the second control information storage unit 132 as the second control information. On the other hand, when the user selects the “weak” button, the control information generating unit 113 refers to the first control information storage unit 131 as shown in FIG. 20 for example, and sets the first control information corresponding to “weak” to the first control information. The second control information is stored in the second control information storage unit 132 as two control information.

  Subsequently, the control signal generation unit 117 acquires the second control information from the second control information storage unit 132 (step S614), generates a control signal based on the acquired second control information, and the air conditioner 2A, It transmits to 2B (step S610).

  On the other hand, if it is determined by the count unit 6114 that the number of times the same strength setting button is selected within one driving period is equal to or greater than the frequency threshold (step S612: Yes), the control information generation unit 113 generates the second The operation mode information included in the control information is newly specified (step S615). For example, when the air conditioners 2A and 2B are operating in the “cooling” mode, it is assumed that the user selects the “weak” button more than the threshold value. In this case, the control information generation unit 113 newly specifies operation mode information indicating the “heating” mode as the operation mode information included in the generated second control information. Thereafter, the processes after step S613 described above are executed. Accordingly, for example, when the user feels chilly when the air conditioners 2A and 2B are operated in the “cooling” mode, the user simply selects the “weak” button B6022 above the preset number of times threshold, The operation mode of the conditioners 2A and 2B can be switched to the heating mode.

  In this modification, a “strong” button, a “medium” button, and a “weak” button are displayed instead of the automatic button B1 shown in FIG. 22, and “strong”, “medium”, The first control information corresponding to “weak” may be directly selectable.

  According to this configuration, the first control information storage unit 131 stores a plurality of types of first control information of the air conditioner 2 corresponding to each of the plurality of operation periods in association with the plurality of operation periods. Thereby, since the operation state of air conditioner 2A, 2B can be set finely, it can be set as the environment suitable for the user who exists in the room where air conditioner 2A, 2B was installed. Further, the user can change the operation mode of the air conditioners 2A and 2B simply by selecting the strength setting button more than the preset number of times threshold. Thereby, since the user can change the setting of the air conditioners 2A and 2B by the operation based on the experience without being aware of the operation mode of the air conditioners 2A and 2B, the convenience for the user is improved.

  In the control device 1 according to Embodiment 1, an area information acquisition unit (not shown) that acquires installation area information indicating an area where the air conditioner 2 is installed, and an installation area information acquired by the area information acquisition unit Based on this, the control device may further include an operation timing setting unit (not shown) that sets an operation timing corresponding to each of the plurality of first control information stored in the first control information storage unit 131. In this case, as shown in FIG. 25, for example, the first control information storage unit 131 stores the first control information in association with different operation times for each region where the air conditioner 2 is installed. There may be. Specifically, the start date and the end date of each operation time differ depending on the area where the air conditioner 2 is installed. The area information acquisition unit has a GPS receiver, for example, and obtains the installation area information based on the position information of the control device obtained by positioning using the GPS signal and the map information stored in advance by the auxiliary storage unit 103. You may acquire.

  According to this configuration, since the operating state of the air conditioner 2 can be optimized for the installation area where the air conditioner 2 is installed, the comfort of the place where the air conditioner 2 is installed is improved. be able to.

  In the first embodiment, an example in which there are three types of set temperatures of the air conditioner 2 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if the operation unit 16 includes a numeric keypad, the set temperature of the air conditioner 2 is A numerical value may be input and changed using a numeric keypad. In this case, the set temperature range of the air conditioner 2 may be set individually for each operation mode of the air conditioner 2.

  The various functions of the control device 1 according to the present invention may be realized by software, firmware, or a combination of software and firmware. In this case, software or firmware is described as a program and stored in the auxiliary storage unit 103. The various functions of the control device 1 according to the present invention can be realized using a computer system, not a dedicated system. For example, a non-transitory recording medium (flexible disc, CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read-Only Memory), DVD) that can be read by a computer system is stored in a computer connected to a network. (Digital Versatile Disc), MO (Magneto-Optical Disc, etc.) may be stored and distributed, and the program may be installed in a computer system to constitute the control device 1 that executes the above-described processing.

   Further, the method for providing the program to the computer is arbitrary. For example, the program may be uploaded to a server on a communication line and distributed to a computer via the communication line. Then, the computer activates this program and executes it in the same manner as other applications under the control of an OS (Operating System). Accordingly, the computer functions as the control device 1 that executes the above-described processing.

  As mentioned above, although each embodiment and modification (including what was written in the description. The same is true hereinafter) of the present invention have been described, the present invention is not limited to these.
