An example of an image of the screen of the display unit 16 when = 46.74 and the second appropriateness level = 52.0 is shown.

For example, information in which a numerical value indicating the outdoor temperature (“26.0 ° C.”) and an icon indicating a thermometer are associated with each other as confirmation information based on the outdoor temperature, and the display unit 16 displays the confirmation information (FIG. 3 of 301).
Further, for example, information that associates a numerical value indicating outdoor humidity (“80%”) with an icon indicating a water drop is used as confirmation information based on outdoor humidity, and the display unit 16 displays the confirmation information (FIG. 3). 302).
Further, for example, a numerical value indicating the room temperature (“24.0 ° C.”) is used as confirmation information based on the room temperature, and the display unit 16 displays the confirmation information (see 303 in FIG. 3).
Further, for example, a numerical value (“85%”) indicating the indoor humidity is used as confirmation information based on the indoor humidity, and the display unit 16 displays the confirmation information (see 304 in FIG. 3).
Further, for example, a character string indicating “cloudy” and an icon indicating the cloudy are associated with each other as confirmation information based on weather-related information, and the display unit 16 displays the confirmation information (see 305 in FIG. 3). ). In addition, what kind of icon is displayed in association with which weather is set in advance.

Further, for example, information in which a numerical value (“76%”) indicating the remaining battery level is associated with an icon indicating the battery is used as confirmation information based on the remaining battery level, and the display unit 16 displays the confirmation information ( (See 306 in FIG. 3).
Further, for example, information that associates a character string representing the first appropriate degree (“Imaichi”) with an icon indicating the first appropriate degree is used as confirmation information based on the first appropriate degree, and the display unit 16 The confirmation information is displayed (see 307 in FIG. 3). Here, for example, “appropriate” is displayed if the appropriate degree is 50 or less, “almost dry” if the appropriate degree is 50 to 70, and “well dried” if the appropriate degree is 70 or more. It shall be. In addition, it is assumed that a T-shirt icon corresponding to the appropriate degree is set in advance. Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the icon of the T-shirt in the case of “Imaichi” is set so that the hem is colored (black in FIG. 3) and the laundry is hard to dry.
Further, for example, information that associates a character string representing the second appropriateness level (“substantially dry”) with an icon indicating the second appropriateness degree is used as confirmation information based on the second appropriateness degree, and the display unit 16 Displays the confirmation information (see 308 in FIG. 3).
By displaying the outdoor temperature, outdoor humidity, indoor temperature, or the degree of appropriateness calculated from the indoor humidity of each house, for example, it is more familiar to the user than displaying the laundry index published based on information from the Japan Meteorological Agency. Information can be provided, and the interest of the user can be increased.

Note that the confirmation information as shown in FIG. 3 is merely an example. The display control part 15 should just make the display part 16 display the confirmation information which a user can recognize the content of environmental information or the content of appropriateness degree.
In addition, the display unit 16 displays, for example, a straight line (see 31 in FIG. 3) that divides the display area, and the straight line is used to display confirmation information based on outdoor environment information and the indoor environment information. The area where the confirmation information is displayed is divided and displayed. In FIG. 3, in addition to this, the display unit 16 displays “Fujisawa residence” in the area for displaying the confirmation information based on the indoor environment information so that the confirmation information is the room confirmation information. ing.

  The display control unit 15 may display information on the current date and time on the display unit 16 (see 309 in FIG. 3).

Further, the display control unit 15 outputs display control information for displaying confirmation information (hereinafter referred to as “expanded battery information”) obtained by enlarging the confirmation information based on the remaining battery level as indicated by reference numeral 306 in FIG. The display unit 16 may display enlarged battery information.
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a screen image when the display unit 16 displays the enlarged battery information in the first embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 4, enlarged battery information (see 401 in FIG. 4) is displayed.
Note that how much the original confirmation information is expanded to be expanded battery information can be set as appropriate.

Moreover, the display control part 15 can output the display control information which displays expansion battery information only for a fixed period. Specifically, the display control unit 15 outputs display control information for displaying, for example, enlarged battery information for one second. The display unit 16 displays the enlarged battery information as shown in FIG. 4 for only one second based on the display control information.
Note that the period during which the enlarged battery information is displayed can be set as appropriate.
Thus, the air-conditioning remote control 1 displays the enlarged battery information, so that the user can instantly grasp the remaining battery level of the air-conditioning remote control 1. The user can quickly determine whether or not the battery needs to be charged.

In the above description, the environment information acquisition unit 12 acquires outdoor temperature, outdoor humidity, indoor temperature, indoor humidity, and weather information as environmental information, the calculation unit 13 calculates the appropriate degree, and the display unit No. 16 displays all the outdoor temperature, outdoor humidity, indoor temperature, indoor humidity, weather information, and confirmation information based on the appropriateness level, but this is only an example.
For example, the environment information acquisition unit 12 may acquire only the outdoor temperature, the display unit 16 may display only confirmation information based on the outdoor temperature, and the display unit 16 may display the outdoor temperature, outdoor humidity, and indoor temperature. Any one of the room humidity, the weather information, and the appropriate degree, or some of them may be displayed.

  Further, in the above description, in the description using FIG. 2, the processing is performed in the order of step ST201 to step ST207, but the order may be switched or may be performed simultaneously. However, temperature and humidity information are acquired before the operation for calculating the appropriate degree (see step ST207) (see steps ST201 to ST204).

In the above description, the temperature acquisition unit 121 and the humidity acquisition unit 122 each acquire temperature or humidity information at the time when the user starts washing, but this is only an example.
For example, the temperature acquisition unit 121 and the humidity acquisition unit 122 acquire a predicted temperature or humidity for a certain period, such as a temperature or humidity predicted until the laundry is taken in, based on weather information distributed from a weather distribution company. You may make it do.
For example, the display control unit 15 can cause the display unit 16 to display confirmation information based on the predicted temperature or humidity of a certain period acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 121 and the humidity acquisition unit 122, respectively.
In addition, the calculation unit 13 can calculate the appropriate degree at a certain time in the future, and the display control unit 15 can also display the appropriate degree on the display unit 16 as confirmation information. For example, the user may specify a certain point in the future from the above-described certain period.

Here, FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an image of an example of the screen when the display unit 16 displays the confirmation information based on the appropriate degree that changes in a certain period in the first embodiment.
In FIG. 5, as an example, it is assumed that the calculation unit 13 calculates that the current first appropriate degree is 46.74 and becomes 52.0 at a specified point in time.
In this case, the display unit 16 displays the confirmation information so that the first appropriate degree changes from “Imaichi” to “almost dry” (see 501 in FIG. 5).
As described above, the air-conditioning remote controller 1 can also display the environmental information that changes with the passage of time or the confirmation information based on the appropriate degree.
For example, the air-conditioning remote control 1 can also display confirmation information indicating that the weather changes from “cloudy” to “swelling” (see 502 in FIG. 5).
Air-conditioning remote control 1 displays confirmation information based on information about the near future temperature, humidity, weather, or the degree of appropriateness, etc., so that more reliable confirmation is possible in consideration of the near future environment. Information can be provided to the user. As a result, it is possible to make the user confirm the confirmation information displayed on the air conditioning remote controller 1 more reliably.

  In addition, when a user tries to dry the laundry outdoors, it can be estimated that the weather outside from the windows is often changed. Therefore, the display unit 16 can also display the first appropriate degree as a scene outside the window. Thereby, since the user can expect the habit of placing the air-conditioning remote control 1 near the window, the place where the air-conditioning remote control 1 is placed is easily determined, which is preferable.

As described above, the air-conditioning remote controller 1 according to the first embodiment displays the confirmation information on the display unit 16.
Thus, the user confirms the display unit 16 of the air-conditioning remote controller 1 in order to confirm the confirmation information. Since the user confirms the confirmation information, it is possible to prevent the user from knowing where to place the air conditioning remote control 1. In the air conditioning remote controller 1, the display unit 16 displays confirmation information based on the remaining battery level. Therefore, when confirming the confirmation information, the user can confirm at the same time whether or not the remote control is charged, and can prevent the air conditioning remote control 1 from being left uncharged.
In particular, the air-conditioning remote controller 1 according to Embodiment 1 displays information related to the user's general lifestyle as confirmation information. Therefore, the user is expected to check the confirmation information on a daily basis, and the confirmation operation of the confirmation information can be continued for the user. In addition, the air conditioner remote controller 1 according to the first embodiment displays the confirmation information associated with the lifestyle habits performed by the user about once a day, thereby displaying the confirmation information at an appropriate frequency. Yes. For example, when the frequency at which the user confirms the confirmation information is higher than necessary, the air-conditioning remote controller 1 has too many chances of being discharged and consumes a battery unnecessarily. In contrast, the air-conditioning remote control 1 according to the first embodiment allows the confirmation information to be displayed at an appropriate frequency, thereby avoiding unnecessary battery consumption and leaving the air-conditioning remote control 1 uncharged. Can be prevented.

  As described above, the air-conditioning remote control 1 according to the first embodiment is in a state where the remote control is substantially lost due to the frequency with which the user picks up and uses the remote control, or is left uncharged. Thus, it is possible to prevent the problem that the user has been out of charge when actually trying to use it.

Further, the air-conditioning remote controller 1 according to the first embodiment can further control the timing and display period for displaying the confirmation information, and will be described below.
For example, in the description of the operation using FIG. 2 described above, the user inputs a confirmation information display instruction from the air-conditioning remote controller 1, and the display instruction reception unit 11 receives the display instruction. The operation as shown in FIG.
Not only this but the display control part 15 can also be made to perform operation | movement which was demonstrated using FIG. 2 for the preset period when it comes to the preset timing. The preset timing and preset period can be set to an appropriate timing and period. For example, once in a day, the user does not forget where to place the air-conditioning remote controller 1. The timing and period are such that the battery is not consumed unnecessarily when displaying the confirmation information.

For example, it is assumed that the user performs laundry around 10 am every day, and “10:00 am every day” is set as the confirmation information display timing and “3 minutes” is set as the period for displaying the confirmation information.
In this case, the display control unit 15 performs the operations described in steps ST201 to ST207 in FIG. 2 on the environment information acquisition unit 12, the calculation unit 13, and the battery remaining amount confirmation unit 14 at 10 am every day. Display control information for displaying confirmation information is output to the display unit 16 (see step ST208 in FIG. 2). At this time, the display control unit 15 outputs display control information for causing the display unit 16 to display the confirmation information for 3 minutes.
The display unit 16 displays the confirmation information for 3 minutes from 10:00 am based on the display control information output from the display control unit 15.

Thus, the air-conditioning remote controller 1 can control the timing and display period for displaying the confirmation information.
As a result, the confirmation information is automatically displayed at the set time, so that the user can be prevented from forgetting to confirm the confirmation information. By preventing the user from forgetting the confirmation work, it is possible to prevent the user from forgetting the location of the air conditioning remote control 1 and to prevent the air conditioning remote control 1 from being left uncharged. it can.
Further, since the confirmation information is automatically displayed for the set period, it is possible to reduce the wasteful use of the battery of the air-conditioning remote controller 1.

In the first embodiment described above, as an example, the user's lifestyle is washing, and the environmental information is information related to outdoor temperature, outdoor humidity, indoor temperature, indoor humidity, or weather, but this is only an example. Absent.
