The communication means 7 is connected to the outside air temperature server TC via the internet IN. The outside temperature server TC is, for example, a server computer installed by a meteorological observation group, and when an inquiry is made by designating an area and a time, the outside temperature observed in the area and the time is transmitted.
The application is stored in the storage unit 6 and executed by the control unit 8.
The application has a function of setting the air conditioning set temperature in the air conditioning equipment which is the target of power consumption prediction, and further has a function of storing the air conditioning set temperature in the storage means 6 in a state associated with time as appropriate. are doing. Note that at least one of setting and storing the air conditioning set temperature may be performed by another application, or may be acquired by communication from an air conditioning device or a device that operates the air conditioning device.
The application includes the following formula (1) for calculating the predicted power consumption p (Wh) which is the predicted power consumption of the air conditioner (air conditioner) from various elements.

Here, q is a heat load (W / (m ² · ° C.)), and a constant, which is an average value of a detached house and an apartment house, is used in order to simplify calculation for a residential air conditioner. This constant heat load in detached and collective housing, is obtained by dividing the difference between the outside air temperature T _o and the air conditioning set temperature T _s. The heat load may be set individually for the average value of the detached house and the average value of the apartment house, and may be selected according to the input of the detached house or the apartment house by the user. Furthermore, the heat load may be set for at least one of the scale of the detached house (the number of rooms, the number of floors, etc.) and the scale of the housing complex, and may be selected according to the input by the user. In consideration of the fact that the actual indoor temperature tends to be lower by about 2 ° C. than the air conditioning set temperature T _s during cooling, the air conditioning set temperature T _s is added or subtracted by a predetermined value. T _s may be adjusted.
In addition, T (℃), the difference between the outside air temperature _{T o} and the air conditioning set temperature _{T s,} that is _T o _-T s ··· (2)
Is. The outside temperature T _o are those obtained from the outside temperature server TC, air conditioning set temperature T _s are those stored in the storage means 6. If the difference between the outside air temperature T _o and the air conditioning set temperature T _s is less than 1 ° C., T is a 1.
Further, b is the age correction coefficient. The tendency of the Q value (quality factor) related to the heat insulation of the house has been found for each age group of the building (house) to which the air-conditioned space (room of the house) belongs. Since the correlation with the value is already known, as shown in the following [Table 1], b is determined according to the category of the building age.
The correlation between the age of a house and the Q value is mainly due to the requirements of the building regulations at the time of construction. That is, the Q value is reasonably estimated to meet the standards at the time of construction such as the law on rationalization of energy use and materials published by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in accordance with this, and according to this Q value Then, the age correction coefficient b was determined. Further, the target of air conditioning is not limited to a house, but may be a workplace, a factory, or the like.

Further, s is an air-conditioning area (m ² ), which is a floor area of the room to be air-conditioned.
t is a scheduled operation time (h) which is a scheduled operation time of the air conditioner.

C _p is the value of the air-conditioning equipment capacity (cooling capacity) another COP (Coefficient Of Performance), those represented by the following [Table 2]. These COPs were determined with reference to the values measured and published for each capacity (cooling capacity) of the air conditioning equipment.

  m is an air-conditioning equipment manufacturing year correction coefficient, and is a ratio of the average COP of other manufacturing years to 7.0, which is the average COP of the air-conditioning equipment manufactured in 2014 (base year) (the relevant COP / 7. 0), which is shown in the following [Table 3]. Here, the average COP in each manufacturing year was determined with reference to the data published by the heat pump heat storage center and the energy saving center.

C _o is the correction coefficient of the device efficiency with the outside air temperature _{T o,} the outside air temperature _T o = 35 reference ° C. (1), each down 1 ℃ 0.029 is added to 1, each raised 1 ℃ 0.029 is subtracted from 1. That is,
C _o = 1-0.029 × (T _o −35) (3)
Is. The coefficient of the equation (3) and the reference temperature were determined based on the material published by the Japan Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry Association.
C _s is the correction coefficient of the device efficiency by the air conditioner set temperature _{T s,} as the air-conditioning set temperature _T s = 27 ° C. The reference (1), 0.070 is added to 1 for each down 1 ℃, increased 1 ℃ Each time 0.070 is subtracted from 1. That is,
C _T = 1−0.07 × (T _s −27) (4)
Is. The coefficient and the reference temperature of this equation (4) were determined based on the material published by the Japan Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry Association.

Further, the application has an outing mode in which the predicted power consumption p calculated by the equation (1) is multiplied by a correction coefficient for a predetermined time when the air conditioner is temporarily stopped when going out.
That is, when the outing time (temporarily stopped time) exceeds 30 minutes, the control means 8 for executing the application in the outing mode sets the predicted power consumption p to 30 minutes from the beginning in the restart after returning home (temporarily released). On the other hand, the stop correction coefficient (outgoing correction coefficient, which is 1.6 here, but may be a value within the range of 1.5 or more and 1.7 or less, for example) is multiplied. Note that the stop correction coefficient is not applied once for 30 minutes after 30 minutes (from 30 minutes to 1 hour), as in the case of 1 hour and thereafter.
Further, when the outing time is 30 minutes or less, similarly, the temporary stop correction coefficient (1.4 in this case, for example, 1.2 or more 1 Value may be within the range of less than 0.5).

FIG. 2 is a flowchart related to the application of the first form.
The control means 8 executes the application and accepts input of various information (step S1).
That is, the control means 8 causes the display means 2 to display a text input box or an item selection box and a guide of information to be input, and the input means 4 corresponding to these boxes displays the building age, the air conditioning area s, and the operation. The input of the scheduled time t, the air conditioning set temperature T _s , the capacity of the air conditioning equipment, the year of manufacture of the air conditioning equipment, and the area where the building is located (the location where the air conditioning equipment is located) is accepted. The control means 8 displays the completion button on the display means 2 and stores the various input information at the time when the corresponding input is made in the input means 4 in the storage means when appropriate. If it is not appropriate, the fact is displayed and the input is accepted again.
Regarding the input of the scheduled operation time t, the control means 8 accepts the input of the scheduled operation end time on the assumption that the air conditioner is operated from the time when the input is received, and calculates the time from the time when the input is received to the scheduled operation end time. The scheduled operation time t may be obtained. Further, the control means 8 accepts the information other than the scheduled operation time t only in the initial setting or the first input and stores it in the storage means 6, and displays the stored information in advance in step S1. Alternatively, input of stored information may not be accepted. Further, regarding the air conditioning set temperature T _s , the power amount prediction system E1 (mobile terminal 1) is provided with an air conditioning equipment commanding means (infrared light emitting part), or an independent air conditioning equipment commanding means (infrared light emitting part with communication means, A learning start remote controller or the like) can be instructed via the communication means 7 (in-house wireless communication, etc.), and an operation start signal designating the air conditioning set temperature T _s is transmitted to the air conditioning equipment via the air conditioning equipment command means. Alternatively, the air conditioning set temperature T _s related to the signal may be stored in the storage unit 6 and used.

Further, the control means 8 makes an inquiry to the outside air temperature server TC regarding the area in which the building is located and the current time (the closest observation time) (step S2). Outside temperature server TC originates an outside air temperature T _o in accordance with the area and time, the control unit 8 stores obtains the outside air temperature T _o in the storage means 6.
The control means 8 may automatically obtain the location of the building from the position information of the positioning system (GPS or the like) included in the power amount prediction system E1. Also, outside air temperature T _o, like other information, may be received by the input means 4. Alternatively, the control unit 8, the outside air temperature T _o, may be obtained from a temperature sensor provided in the power amount prediction system E1. Furthermore, steps S1 and S2 may be executed in reverse order, or may be executed in parallel at the same time.

Next, the control means 8 appropriately pre-processes a part of the input information (step S3).
That is, the control means 8 calculates the outside air conditioning setting temperature difference T based on the above equation (2).
Further, the control means 8 obtains the building age correction coefficient b from the building age based on the above [Table 1].
Further, the control means 8 obtains the COP value C _p from the capacity of the air conditioner based on the above [Table 2].
In addition, the control means 8 obtains the air conditioning equipment manufacturing year correction coefficient m from the air conditioning equipment manufacturing year based on the above [Table 3].
The control unit 8 is based on the equation (3), to obtain an outside air temperature equipment efficiency compensation coefficient C _o from the outside air temperature T _o.
Further, the control means 8 obtains the air conditioning set temperature device efficiency correction coefficient C _s from the air conditioning set temperature T _s based on the above equation (4).

Then, the control means 8 calculates the predicted power consumption p based on the above equation (1) (predicted power consumption calculation step S4).
Here, if the calculation result per hour exceeds the maximum power consumption (upper limit of power consumption) for each cooling capacity of the air conditioner (air conditioner) shown in the following [Table 4], the predicted power consumption p Of these, the calculation is performed again with the value of the maximum power consumption for the one hour. The maximum power consumption per hour was determined by referring to a value that was previously measured and published for each cooling capacity of the air conditioning equipment. It should be noted that such maximum power consumption may not be set.
The control means 8 stores the obtained predicted power consumption amount p.
Note that steps S3 and S4 may be performed (integrated) at once.
The control means 8 displays the predicted power consumption amount p on the display means 2 (predicted power consumption display step S5).

Further, the control unit 8 shifts to the process of the outing mode in response to an input to the input unit 4 corresponding to the outing mode switching button displayed on the display unit 2 (Yes in step S6). The control means 8 may perform the process in the outing mode in steps S1 to S5 instead of independently.
In the process, first, the input of the outing time is accepted in the same manner as other information (step S7).
Next, the control unit 8 reduces the predicted power consumption amount p by the amount of the outing time according to the acquired outing time, and temporarily stops at the predicted power consumption amount p for 30 minutes by referring to the temporary stop correction coefficient described above. multiplied by the correction coefficient, to calculate the predicted consumed electric power amount p _o when going out (pause), stored in the storage unit 6 (step S8). Here, it is premised that the operation is continued for 30 minutes or more after the operation is restarted, and the going-out start time and the going-out end time are not questioned because the results are unchanged. It is not always necessary to operate the vehicle for 30 minutes or more after the operation is restarted, and at least one of the outing start time and the outing end time is input instead of or in combination with the outing time. May be done. Further, the input may be accepted and calculated for a plurality of outings.
Subsequently, the control unit 8 causes the display unit 2 to display the predicted power consumption amount p and the predicted power consumption amount P _o during the temporary stop (step S9). The user, by a Such display, the predicted consumed electric power amount p when continuously operating the air-conditioning equipment on the go, be temporarily comparing the predicted consumed electric power amount p _o of stopping the operation of air conditioners on the go It is possible and convenient.

  After the display in steps S5 and S9, the control means 8 repeats the processing from step S1 in response to the input to the OK button or the like (Return To Start).

A specific example of the prediction related to the above power amount prediction system E1 will be described below.
First, regarding the four cases at bedtime (Examples 1-1 to 1-4), the air conditioning equipment capacity in Example 1-1 is 2.5 kW, the air conditioning area s is 10 m ² (6 tatami mats), and the building age is 18 years. less than, is scheduled driving time t 6h, the outside air temperature _{T o} is 27 ℃, the air-conditioning set temperature _{T s} is 27 ℃, the air-conditioning equipment manufacturing year is 2016 and beyond.
The heat load q is 30.5. The outside air conditioning setting temperature difference T is 0 in the calculation, but when it is less than 1, it is 1 and is 1. The age correction coefficient b is 1 from [Table 1] because the age is less than 18 years. The COP value C _p is 4.81 from [Table 2] because the air conditioning equipment capacity is 2.5 kW. The air-conditioning equipment manufacturing year correction coefficient m is 1 from [Table 3] since the air-conditioning equipment manufacturing year is 2016 or later. Outside air temperature equipment efficiency compensation coefficient _{C o} is a 1.232 from the equation (3). The air-conditioning set temperature device efficiency correction coefficient C _s is 1 from the equation (4).
Therefore, the predicted power consumption p during continuous operation is (30.5 × 1 × 1 × 10 × 6) ÷ (4.81 × 1 × 1.232 × 1) = 308.8 Wh. If the unit price of electricity is 23 yen / kWh (the same applies hereinafter), the expected electricity bill will be 7 yen. The electricity unit price may be other than 23 yen / kWh, and the setting may be changeable.

Air conditioning equipment capacity in Example 1-2, the air-conditioning area s, age of the air conditioning set temperature T _s, scheduled driving time t and the air-conditioning equipment, year is the same as in Example 1-1, the outside air temperature T _o is 24 ° C. Is.
Therefore, the outside air conditioning setting temperature difference T is 0 although it is 0 in the calculation, the outside air temperature device efficiency correction coefficient C _o is 1.319 from the equation (3), and the predicted power consumption p during continuous operation is , (30.5 × 1 × 1 × 10 × 6) ÷ (4.81 × 1 × 1.319 × 1) = 288.4 Wh. The estimated electricity bill is 7 yen.

Air conditioning equipment capacity in Examples 1-3, the air-conditioning area s, the outside air temperature T _o, the air-conditioning set temperature T _s, and scheduled driving time t is the same as in Example 1-1, age of the above 37 years, air conditioning equipment The manufacturing year is before 1997.
The age correction coefficient b is 1.926 from [Table 1] because the age is 37 years or more. The COP value C _p is 4.81 from [Table 2] because the air conditioning equipment capacity is 2.5 kW. The air-conditioning equipment manufacturing year correction coefficient m is 0.5 from [Table 3] because the air-conditioning equipment manufacturing year is before 1997.
Therefore, the predicted power consumption p during continuous operation is (30.5 × 1 × 1.926 × 10 × 6) ÷ (4.81 × 0.5 × 1.232 × 1) = 1189.5Wh . The estimated electricity bill is 27 yen.

The outside air temperature _{T o} in Example 1-4, the air-conditioning set temperature _{T s,} building age, air-conditioning equipment production year and scheduled driving time t is the same as in Example 1-3, the air-conditioning equipment capacity is 2.8kW, air conditioning area s is 13 m ² (8 tatami mats).
The COP value C _p is 5.19 from [Table 2] because the air conditioning equipment capacity is 2.8 kW.
Therefore, the predicted power consumption p during continuous operation is (30.5 × 1 × 1.926 × 13 × 6) ÷ (5.19 × 0.5 × 1.232 × 1) = 1433.2 Wh . The estimated electricity bill is 33 yen.

Next, regarding the 5 examples (Examples 2-1 to 2-5) when going out, the air conditioning equipment capacity in Example 2-1 is 4.0 kW, the air conditioning area s is 23 m ² (14 tatami mats), and the building age is 18 less than a year, is scheduled driving time t 1h, the outside air temperature _{T o} is 30 ℃, the air-conditioning set temperature _{T s} 27 ℃, air-conditioning equipment production year is 2016 and beyond.
The heat load q is 30.5. The outside air conditioning setting temperature difference T is 30−27 = 3. The age correction coefficient b is 1 from [Table 1] because the age is less than 18 years. The COP value C _p is 4.30 from [Table 2] because the air conditioning equipment capacity is 4.0 kW. The air-conditioning equipment manufacturing year correction coefficient m is 1 from [Table 3] since the air-conditioning equipment manufacturing year is 2016 or later. The outside air temperature device efficiency correction coefficient C _o is 1.145 from the equation (3). The air-conditioning set temperature device efficiency correction coefficient C _s is 1 from the equation (4).
Therefore, the predicted power consumption p during continuous operation is (30.5 × 3 × 1 × 23 × 1) ÷ (4.30 × 1 × 1.145 × 1) = 427.4Wh (10 yen) .
In addition, we are considering going out without stopping the air conditioning equipment for 10 minutes while operating the air conditioning equipment, and we plan to operate for only 10 minutes after going out (30 minutes after going home and 30 minutes after going home) When the scheduled driving time is 40 minutes (desired by the user), the predicted power consumption p at the scheduled driving time t = 40 minutes is 281 Wh (6 yen).
On the other hand, when the operation of the air conditioning equipment is stopped during the first 10 minutes of going out, the predicted power consumption p _o at the time of stop is 0 for the first 10 minutes and the predicted power consumption p for the next 30 minutes. Is temporarily multiplied by a stop correction coefficient of 1.4 to become 295 Wh, and the predicted power consumption p _o at the time of stop is 0 + 295 = 295 Wh (7 yen).
Similarly, when the outing time is 20 minutes, the predicted power consumption p during continuous operation (when the user goes out with the battery attached) is 351.2 Wh (8 yen).

FIG. 3 is an overall block diagram of a power amount prediction system E2 for air conditioning equipment and related elements according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
The power amount prediction system E2 includes a current sensor unit 22 installed between a power plug ACP of an air conditioner AC related to prediction and a commercial power plug connector (outlet), a remote controller (RC) 24, and The mobile terminal 1 has the same configuration as the first embodiment. The same components as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be appropriately omitted.

The current sensor unit 22 includes a current sensor 32 having a short-range wireless communication unit 30, a plug receiver 34, and a plug 36.
The short-distance wireless communication unit 30 performs short-distance wireless communication, and is, for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark).
A power plug ACP is inserted into the plug receiver 34.
The plug 36 is plugged into an outlet.
The current sensor 32 uses the value of the current that flows from the plug receiver 34 to the plug 36, that is, the value of the current that is consumed to operate the air conditioning equipment AC (actual power consumption that is the actual power consumption of the air conditioning equipment. The current value) is acquired periodically (every 5 minutes). The current sensor 32 may acquire the current value at intervals other than every 5 minutes, or may acquire the current value irregularly. Further, the current sensor 32 may be a power sensor that directly acquires power or a power sensor that directly acquires power.
The short-range wireless communication unit 30 can transmit the obtained current value immediately, or periodically or irregularly after storing each value, or in response to a transmission request.

The RC 24 includes an infrared light emitting / receiving unit 40, a local wireless communication unit 42, an RC storage unit 44 that stores various kinds of information, and an RC control unit 46 that controls these.
The RC 24 is a so-called learning RC. That is, the infrared light emitting / receiving unit 40 can receive the infrared light emitted by the attached RC that is attached to the air conditioning equipment AC and transmits various commands to the air conditioning equipment AC according to the infrared light emission mode, and the attached RC can be controlled by the RC control means 46. It is possible to store various light emission modes according to the above in the RC storage means 44.

The air conditioner AC includes an infrared light receiving unit corresponding to the attached RC, and the RC control unit 46 can transmit various commands to the air conditioner AC by the light emission from the infrared light receiving / emitting unit 40, similarly to the attached RC. is there.
The local wireless communication means 42 is capable of communicating various kinds of information, and is, for example, Wi-Fi (registered trademark).

The communication means 7 of the mobile terminal 1 can perform short-range wireless communication with the current sensor 32 and local wireless communication with the RC 24 in addition to communication with the Internet IN.
The mobile terminal 1 can transmit an operation start signal specifying an air conditioning set temperature and an operation stop signal to the RC 24 via the communication unit 7. The control means 8 stores the air conditioning set temperature and the operation start signal transmission time and the operation stop signal transmission time in the storage means 6 in association with the signal ID for identifying each signal.
Upon receiving the operation start signal, the RC 24 emits an operation start command at the specified air-conditioning set temperature from the infrared light emitting / receiving unit 40. Further, the RC 24 receiving the operation stop signal emits an operation stop command. The air conditioner AC is operated according to various commands.
The communication means 7 may be capable of performing on-premises wireless communication with the current sensor 32 or may be capable of performing short-range wireless communication with the RC 24. The communication means 7 may be connected to the current sensor 32 or the RC 24 (wired controller) by another communication method including wired communication.

The mobile terminal 1 executes the application according to the second mode to perform the power amount prediction according to the second mode.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart related to the application of the second form.
That is, the control unit 8 receives a current value group for a predetermined period from the current sensor 32 through the short-range wireless communication unit 30 and the communication unit 7, and associates each current value with the time associated with the current value. The state is stored in the storage unit 6 (current value group acquisition step S21). The association between each current value and time may be performed on the current sensor 32 side or the mobile terminal 1 side.
The predetermined period is 2 weeks here. Note that the predetermined period may be another period. Further, the predetermined period may be set until the number of times of operation of the air conditioner AC, which will be described later, reaches a predetermined number (for example, 7 times) or more. Alternatively, the predetermined period is two weeks in principle, but when the number of operating times of the air conditioner AC is less than the predetermined number after two weeks, it may be changed to a period until it reaches the predetermined number or more.

Next, the control means 8 estimates the operation time (actual operation time, which is the actual operation time) and the power consumption (actual power consumption) (step S22).
That is, the control means 8 first converts the current value group into the power consumption group. By multiplying each current value by the voltage of the air conditioning equipment AC (for example, 100 V), each power consumption related to the power consumption group is calculated.
Next, the control unit 8 adds a predetermined value (for example, 3.5 W) to the minimum value of the power consumption in the power consumption group, and the time from the time when the power consumption starts to become the value or more to the time when the power consumption becomes less than the value. Is the operating time of the air conditioner AC. However, if the time is less than 30 minutes, the control unit 8 excludes the air conditioning equipment AC from the operation time.
The number of operating hours of the air conditioning equipment AC thus calculated is the number of times of operation of the air conditioning equipment AC.
In addition, the control unit 8 integrates the power consumption over the calculated operating time of the air conditioning equipment AC to estimate the power consumption for each operation of the air conditioning equipment AC.
The control unit 8 may set the time from the time when the mobile terminal 1 transmits the operation start signal to the time when the operation stop signal stops to be the operation time of the air conditioner AC. However, since the user does not always operate the air conditioner with the portable terminal 1 and the user may operate the air conditioner with the attached RC, from the viewpoint of relatively importance of accuracy, the above-mentioned current The estimation based on the current value from the sensor 32 is preferable.
Further, the control means 8 may calculate the operating time of the air conditioning equipment AC from the current value group, or may calculate the operating time of the air conditioning equipment AC from both the current value group and the power consumption group.

Subsequently, the control means 8 identifies the air conditioning set temperature (actual air conditioning set temperature which is the set temperature during actual operation of the air conditioning equipment AC) (step S23).
That is, the control means 8 searches the operation start signal transmission time stored in the storage means 6 for the time closest to the start time of the operation time of the air conditioner AC estimated in step S22, and starts the operation. The air conditioning set temperature related to the signal transmission time is referred to. The control means 8 identifies the air conditioning set temperature as the air conditioning set temperature related to the operating time of the air conditioning equipment AC.
The air-conditioning set temperature stored in the RC storage unit 44 may be referred to. Further, the air conditioning equipment AC may be able to communicate with at least one of the RC 24 and the mobile terminal 1, and the air conditioning set temperature may be acquired from the air conditioning equipment AC.

Further, the control means 8 identifies the average outside air temperature related to the operating time of the air conditioning equipment AC (actual outside air temperature information that is information related to the outside air temperature during each actual operation of the air conditioning equipment AC) (step S24).
That is, the control unit 8 accesses the outside air temperature server TC via the Internet IN and acquires all outside air temperatures (for example, every five minutes outside air temperature) belonging to the operating time of the air conditioner AC, as in the first embodiment. Then, their average outside temperature is calculated. Note that the actual outside temperature information may be a value other than the average value, such as a weighted average value. Also, a single outside temperature may be acquired.

Then, the control means 8 constructs a power consumption estimation formula by multiple regression analysis (step S25).
That is, the control unit 8 sets the power consumption of the air conditioner AC (actual power consumption) as a target variable, and the operating time (actual operating time), the air conditioning set temperature (actual air conditioning set temperature), and the average outside temperature (actual outside temperature). Information) is used as an explanatory variable, and multiple regression analysis is performed to construct a power consumption estimation formula. In multiple regression analysis, a plurality of sets (here, for two weeks or seven or more) of power consumption, operating time, air conditioning set temperature, and average outside temperature are used. In addition, each current value may be converted into power consumption during or just before the multiple regression analysis. Further, at least one of the average outside temperature and the stop time when the air conditioner AC is stopped may be used as an explanatory variable for the purpose of further improving the accuracy of prediction when going out.
Further, the control means 8 displays the constructed power consumption amount estimation formula on the display means 2 (step S26).

A specific example of the prediction related to the above power amount prediction system E2 will be described below.
When various information as shown in [Table 5] below is acquired by steps S21 to S24, the control means 8 constructs the power consumption estimation formula shown by the following formula (5) by multiple regression analysis. To do.

Such a power amount prediction system E2 has the following operational effects.
That is, the power amount prediction system E2 obtains a plurality of actual current values (actual power consumption related information) related to the actual power consumption which is the actual power consumption of the air conditioning equipment AC. Sensor), a group of actual current values from the current sensor 32, a group of actual air-conditioning set temperatures that are set temperatures during actual actual operation of the air conditioner AC, and an external group during actual actual operation of the air conditioner AC. An information acquisition unit (communication unit 7) that acquires a group of average outside temperature (actual outside temperature information) that is information related to the temperature, and a group of actual power consumption from the group of actual current values are calculated and calculated. The actual operating time, which is each actual operating time of the air conditioner AC, is calculated from the group of power consumption, and the group of actual power consumption, the group of actual operating time, the group of actual air conditioning set temperature, and the group of actual outside temperature information. To delete the results A calculation unit (control unit 8) that constructs a power consumption estimation formula by performing a multiple regression analysis using the power consumption as an objective variable, the actual power consumption, the actual operating time, and the actual outside temperature information as explanatory variables. Is equipped with.
Therefore, in the power amount prediction system E2, the power consumption amount estimation formula is constructed from the automatically acquirable performance information related to the air conditioning equipment AC and the accuracy is good, and the current sensor 32 and the app may be constructed. A low-cost power prediction system E1 for an air conditioner AC is provided. Further, in the power amount prediction system E2, it is possible to easily and accurately estimate the power consumption amount without using the room temperature of the room air-conditioned by the air conditioner AC.
It should be noted that when the learning period of a predetermined period (about two weeks) has passed, the accuracy of the power consumption amount estimation formula constructed becomes sufficient, and the current sensor unit 22 relating to the constructed air conditioning equipment AC becomes unnecessary. , Can be used for other air conditioners AC. In addition, it is possible to estimate the power consumption by creating a multiple regression equation with all data by adding at least one of the size of the room to be air-conditioned by the air conditioner AC and the building structure. It is possible to perform general estimation corresponding to a plurality of air conditioning equipment AC, instead of individually estimating for each air conditioning equipment AC.

The communication means 7 is included in the mobile terminal 1, and the mobile terminal 1 is connected to an RC 24 (controller) that issues a command to the air conditioning equipment AC, and the RC 24 is connected to the actual air conditioning equipment AC. It is possible to transmit an operation start signal that specifies the actual air conditioning set temperature for issuing an operation start command that specifies the set temperature. Therefore, the actual air-conditioning set temperature can be easily acquired, and the actual air-conditioning set temperature can be acquired even if the air conditioner AC does not have a function of transmitting the actual air-conditioning set temperature to the outside.
Further, the current sensor 32 has a plug receiver 34 into which the power plug ACP of the air conditioner AC can be inserted, and a plug 36 into which a commercial power outlet can be inserted. Therefore, the current sensor 32 is easily installed.

Note that the power amount prediction system E2 has the same modification as that of the first embodiment as appropriate. In particular, in the power consumption prediction system E2, the portable terminal 1 can be connected to a server computer via the Internet IN, transmits various information to the server computer, and the server computer performs multiple regression analysis to calculate the power consumption estimation formula. May be calculated and transmitted to the mobile terminal 1. In this case, the multiple regression analysis, which requires a relatively large amount of processing, is processed by the server computer having a relatively high processing capacity, which simplifies the application of the mobile terminal 1 and reduces the amount of processing of the application in the mobile terminal 1. It
Further, the power consumption prediction system E2 continues to acquire various kinds of information even after the power consumption estimation formula is constructed once, and after considering the information added after the construction, estimates the power consumption. You may rebuild the formula. Alternatively, such restructuring may be repeated. In these cases, the power consumption estimation formula is sequentially updated, and the accuracy of the power consumption estimation formula gradually improves.

When the air conditioning set temperature is 26 ° C., the first and fifth pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperatures are 26 ° C., and the second pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature to the fourth pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature are 27 ° C., respectively.
Further, in “Pattern 3”, the first and second pleasant sleep relative temperatures are ± 0 ° C., the third pleasant sleep relative temperature and the fourth pleasant sleep relative temperature are + 1 ° C., and the fifth pleasant sleep relative temperature is + 2 ° C., respectively. Has been done. When the air conditioning set temperature is 26 ° C., the first pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature and the second pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature are 26 ° C., the third pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature and the fourth pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature are 27 ° C., respectively. The sleep-air conditioning set temperature is 28 ° C.
Even if the “unchanged pattern”, in which the first to fifth pleasant sleep relative temperatures are ± 0 ° C. and the air conditioning set temperature remains the same in all time zones, is provided as one of the pleasant sleep pattern types. good. In addition, the "unchanged pattern" may be initially displayed.

These “Pattern 1” to “Pattern 3” are set as “Custom” in a pattern determination test performed in a predetermined number of people (for example, 30 days) in a predetermined number of people (the number of air conditioners AC, for example, 20). It is decided according to the situation. In this test, "Pattern 1" to "Pattern 3" are not displayed and cannot be selected, and only "Unchanged pattern" and "Custom" can be selected, but "Pattern 1" to "Pattern 1" The pattern 3 ”or other types of pleasant sleep patterns may be selectable.
That is, in the test, the custom setting in which the first pleasant sleep relative temperature to the fifth pleasant sleep relative temperature, which are set the most in the total number of times and are the most popular, are “± 0, +1, +1, +1, +1,” in order, It was designated as "Pattern 1". Similarly, the custom setting that is the second most set “± 0, +1, +1, +1, ± 0” is “pattern 2” and the third most set “± 0, ± 0, +1”. , +1, +2 "was set as the" pattern 3 ".

The control means 8 changes the positions of the first slider 91 to the fifth slider 95 in accordance with the display of the pleasant sleep pattern type display section 89 (selected pleasant sleep pattern type) to determine the first pleasant sleep relative temperature and the second pleasant sleep relative. Change the temporary temperature setting.
In addition, the control means 8 determines the sleep pattern type to be different if it is different from "Pattern 1" to "Pattern 3" when the user slide-inputs at least one of the first slider 91 to the fifth slider 95. As “custom”, the positions of the first slider 91 to the fifth slider 95 are temporarily stored, and the storage is maintained by pressing the save button 82. When such a memory is stored, the control means 8 makes it possible to select by adding “custom” to the good sleep pattern type, and when selected, the positions of the first slider 91 to the fifth slider 95 are selected based on the memory. Call. The storage of the positions of the first slider 91 to the fifth slider 95 in the case of "custom" is performed here as a set of values of the first pleasant sleep relative temperature to the fifth pleasant sleep relative temperature. Further, the calling of the storage of the position is performed by adding the stored first pleasant sleep relative temperature to the fifth pleasant sleep relative temperature to the air conditioning set temperature at the time of calling.
A plurality of sets of each value of the first pleasant sleep relative temperature to the fifth pleasant sleep relative temperature, such as “custom 1” and “custom 2”, may be stored. Further, the control means 8 may obtain the set of the values of the first to fifth pleasant sleep relative temperatures for each of the pleasant sleep pattern types from the service server SC connected via the Internet IN. Furthermore, the first to fifth pleasant sleep relative temperatures may be changed to another form such as direct input of numbers instead of or together with the slider. The first sleep comfort air conditioning set temperature to the fifth sleep comfort air conditioning set temperature may be directly input.

When the control means 8 receives an input to the save button 82, the control means 8 outputs a signal indicating the set of the values of the first to fifth pleasant sleep relative temperatures (first pleasant sleep relative temperature signal to the first pleasant sleep relative temperature to The fifth good sleep relative temperature signal) is stored (step S84), and is sent to the RC 24 (step S85). The fifth sleeping comfort air conditioning set temperature relative signal includes the wake-up time. Incidentally, the control means 8 may issue a single signal summarizing the contents of the first pleasant sleep relative temperature to the fifth pleasant sleep relative temperature. Alternatively, the control means 8 may transmit the wake-up time as an independent signal. The first pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature in which the current air conditioning set temperature is added to the first pleasant sleep relative temperature or the fifth pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature in which the current air conditioning set temperature is added to the fifth pleasant sleep relative temperature is stored as a signal. May be issued.
The RC 24 that has received the first to the fifth sleep relative temperature signal or the fifth sleep relative temperature signal stores it in the RC storage means 44 as the setting of the reservation (timer) operation of the air conditioner AC based on the signal. When the RC 24 receives the signals related to the first pleasant sleep relative temperature to the fifth pleasant sleep relative temperature, the RC 24 adds the air conditioning set temperature to the contents of these signals and stores them in the RC storage means 44 (step S86).

Then, based on the storage of the RC storage unit 44, the RC control unit 46 receives an infrared ray command at the time of reception (current time) as a first pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature in which the first pleasant sleep relative temperature is added to the air conditioning set temperature. The infrared light emitted from the light emitting unit 40 is emitted to the air conditioner AC (step S87). The air conditioning equipment AC is operated at the first sleep setting air conditioning set temperature. The command may be included in the operation start command as the designation of the air conditioning set temperature in the operation start command, and so on.
Further, the RC control means 46 issues a command to the air conditioning equipment AC, one hour after the reception (end time of the time zone related to the first good sleep relative temperature signal), to set the air conditioning set temperature to the second good sleep air conditioning set temperature. (Step S87). The air conditioning equipment AC is operated at the second sleep setting temperature. The instruction may be generated after the time is set such that the time to reach the second pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature is included in the second pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature signal, and so on. Further, the RC control means 46 can stop issuing the command when the second sleep setting temperature is the same as the immediately preceding air conditioning setting temperature, and so on. Alternatively, the RC control means 46 may perform the command to the air conditioning equipment AC to set the second pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature by the difference (eg, + 1 ° C.) from the first pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature, and so on.
Further, after 2 hours from the reception, the RC control means 46 issues a command to the air conditioning equipment AC to set the air conditioning set temperature to the third good sleep air conditioning set temperature (step S87). The air conditioner AC is operated at the third sound sleep air conditioning set temperature.
Further, when the RC control means 46 grasps the arrival of the wake-up time 2 hours before, it issues a command to the air conditioning equipment AC to set the air conditioning set temperature to the fourth sleep comfort air conditioning set temperature (step S87). The air conditioner AC is operated at the fourth sleep setting temperature.
In addition, when the RC control means 46 grasps the arrival of the wake-up time one hour before, it issues a command to the air conditioning equipment AC to set the air conditioning set temperature to the fifth good sleep air conditioning set temperature (step S87). The air conditioner AC is operated at the fifth sleep setting temperature.
Note that the RC control means 46 may issue an operation stop signal to the air conditioning equipment AC when recognizing the arrival of the wake-up time. Further, an input unit for setting the presence / absence of execution of such an operation stop may be provided, and the RC control means 46 may execute the control in accordance with the presence / absence of execution of the input operation stop. Further, when the air conditioner AC can accept the driving reservations in a plurality of time zones, the RC control means 46 sets at least one of the first pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature to the fifth pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature to the corresponding time. In the combined state, the operation reservation commands may be issued sequentially or collectively. In addition, the control unit 8 of the mobile terminal 1 transmits a corresponding signal at various times each time, and the RC control unit 46 issues a command in accordance with the signal for each reception to operate the air conditioning equipment AC. You may switch. When the sleep time, which is the time from bedtime to wakeup time, is shorter than a predetermined time (for example, 5 hours), at least one of the number of time divisions from bedtime and the number of time divisions before waking up. May be reduced, or the set temperature may be changed so that one set temperature is set for the entire sleep time without performing the time division from bedtime and the time division before waking up.

The operation example of the pattern determination test described above will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.
The control means 8 of the mobile terminal 1 which is the object of the test is connected to the Internet by the transmission of the first pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature signal or the fifth pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature signal related to the custom setting from the communication means 7 to the RC 24. The first pleasant sleep relative temperature to the fifth pleasant sleep relative temperature related to the first pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature signal or the fifth pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature signal is transmitted to the service server SC via IN (step S101). The control means 8 may transmit the first pleasant sleep relative temperature to the fifth pleasant sleep relative temperature to the service server SC after transmission to the RC 24, or may transmit to the service server SC before transmission to the RC 24. Alternatively, it may be transmitted to the service server SC at the same time as the transmission to the RC 24. Further, such as when the RC control means 46 issues a command to the air conditioner AC based on the fifth sounding air conditioning set temperature signal, an air conditioner based on the first sounding air conditioning set temperature signal or the fifth sounding sleep air conditioning set temperature signal. When the completion of the AC control is known, the control completion signal is transmitted to the mobile terminal 1. When the mobile terminal 1 receives the control completion signal, the mobile terminal 1 notifies the service server SC of the first pleasant sleep relative temperature to the fifth pleasant sleep. The relative temperature may be transmitted.
The service server SC receives the first comfortable sleep relative temperature to the fifth comfortable sleep relative temperature from each mobile terminal 1 for a predetermined period, and is a pattern database that is a database relating to the patterns related to the first comfortable sleep relative temperature to the fifth comfortable sleep relative temperature. Is constructed (step S102). That is, when the service server SC (service server control means which is a control means thereof) receives a new combination type, the service server SC adds the type as a new item of the pattern database, and the type number is set ( Set number) to 1. When the service server SC receives a combination type that already exists in the items of the pattern database, the service server SC updates the pattern database by adding 1 to the set number of the type.
Then, the service server SC stops the reception of the first pleasant sleep relative temperature to the fifth pleasant sleep relative temperature from each mobile terminal 1 or the update of the pattern database after the lapse of a predetermined period, and the type with the largest number of settings in the pattern database is set. Is output as "pattern 1", the second most common type is output as "pattern 2", and the third most common type is output as "pattern 3" (step S103).
The pattern determination test or the update of the pattern database can be performed continuously or periodically or irregularly even after the determination of “pattern 1” to “pattern 3” (after being provided by the application). That is, the pattern as a set of the predetermined values of the first to fifth pleasant sleep relative temperatures is a record of the tester in the preliminary pattern determination test, and the pattern of the service user after the application provision is started (after the service is started). It can be determined based on at least one of the achievements. After the service starts, at least one of "Pattern 1" to "Pattern 3" may be output at every specific period (for example, every day, every week or every month), and before the service starts (test The same applies to (time). Further, the output “Pattern 1” to “Pattern 3” may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 1 and updated. The number of updated patterns may be increased or decreased from three.

Such an operation system C1 has the following effects.
That is, the operation system C1 can operate the air conditioning equipment AC in the power consumption prediction system for the air conditioning equipment of the second mode (however, the current sensor unit 22 is omitted and the power energy prediction of the first mode is performed). The input unit 4 and the communication unit 7 are included in the mobile terminal 1, the mobile terminal 1 is connected to an RC 24 (controller) that issues a command to the air conditioning equipment AC, and the RC 24 stores various information. An RC storage means 44 (controller storage means) and an RC control means 46 (controller control means) capable of referring to the RC storage means 44 are provided, and the RC storage means 44 issues a command from the mobile terminal 1. The RC control means 46 refers to the storage in the RC storage means 44, and issues a command related to the air conditioning equipment AC corresponding to the storage to the air conditioning equipment AC. To.
Therefore, the RC 24 stores the signal related to the command of the air conditioning equipment AC in the RC storage means 44, and the RC control means 46 can freely operate the air conditioning equipment AC.

Further, the signal stored in the RC storage means 44 indicates the first sleep relative temperature (first post-start time zone relative temperature) with respect to the air conditioning set temperature from the current time (start time) to one hour later (predetermined time later). From the specified first good sleep relative temperature signal (first start time zone relative temperature signal) and the completion time (1 hour after the current time) related to the first good sleep relative temperature signal to a predetermined time (1 hour later) And a second pleasant sleep relative temperature signal (second relative start time zone relative temperature signal) for designating a second pleasant sleep relative temperature (second relative start time zone relative temperature) with respect to the air-conditioning set temperature. Numeral 26 indicates the operation at the first pleasant sleep air conditioning set temperature (the first post-start time zone relative temperature-added air conditioning set temperature) in which the first pleasant sleep relative temperature related to the first pleasant sleep relative temperature signal is added to the air conditioning set temperature at the current time. Command the air conditioner AC to sleep first At the completion time (1 hour after the start time) related to the temperature signal, the second comfortable sleep air conditioning set temperature (second relative start time zone relative to the second comfortable sleep relative temperature related to the second comfortable sleep relative temperature signal is added to the air conditioning set temperature The air conditioning equipment AC is instructed to operate at the temperature-added air conditioning set temperature).
Therefore, in the operation system C1 of the third embodiment, the air conditioning set temperature is set in accordance with the user's preference in each time zone from the time of bedtime (starting time) in a state where each good sleep relative temperature is taken into consideration. For example, the user adjusts the air-conditioning set temperature in consideration of the first good sleep relative temperature to a low level (air-conditioning set temperature ± 0 ° C.) immediately after going to bed for comfortable sleep, and suppresses cold air or electricity bills during sleep. Therefore, an input such as adjusting the air-conditioning set temperature in consideration of the second good sleep relative temperature to be adjusted (air-conditioning set temperature + 1 ° C.) is made before bedtime, and the RC 24 automatically controls the air-conditioning equipment AC in accordance with the input. Manipulate. In addition, since each of such adjustments is performed by taking into account the sleep relative temperature with respect to the air-conditioning set temperature, it is possible to easily adjust the basic temperature while maintaining the temperature change for each time period.

In addition, a pleasant sleep pattern (post-start time zone relative temperature pattern) including a combination of the first pleasant sleep relative temperature and the second pleasant sleep relative temperature can be referred to for each pleasant sleep pattern type in the mobile terminal 1.
Therefore, the app provider can suggest an example of a good sleep pattern to the user, and the user can easily input the combination of the first good sleep relative temperature and the second good sleep relative temperature by selecting the good sleep pattern. it can. Further, if the good sleep pattern is based on a pattern having a large number of settings in the pattern determination test such as “Pattern 1” to “Pattern 3”, a popular and useful good sleep pattern can be proposed.
When the air-conditioning set temperature is further controlled in the time zone based on the (third) current time, the third post-start time zone relative temperature is added to the second post-start time zone air-conditioning set temperature relative signal. The signal is used. The second post-start time zone relative temperature signal and the third post-start time zone relative temperature signal are collectively referred to as the i-th post-start time zone relative temperature signal (i = [2,3]). [2,3] is a set of natural numbers 2 and 3. Further, when the air-conditioning set temperature is controlled in the fourth time zone based on the current time, the time zone relative temperature signal (i = [2,3,4]) after the i-th start indicates the first start time. Used in conjunction with post-time zone relative temperature signals. And, including the further combination with the fifth post-start time zone relative temperature signal and thereafter, as a whole, the i-th post-start time zone relative temperature signal (i = [2,3] or [2,3,4] or ...).

Further, the signal stored in the RC storage means 44 is a fifth good sleep relative temperature signal (first time) that specifies a fifth good sleep relative temperature from a predetermined time (1 hour before) to the wake-up time (end time) to the wake-up time. Pre-end time zone relative temperature signal) and the fourth pleasant sleep relative temperature from a predetermined time before the start time (2 hours before the wake-up time) to the start time (1 hour before the wake-up time) related to the fifth good sleep relative temperature signal The RC control means 46 includes a fourth pleasant sleep relative temperature signal (second pre-end time zone relative temperature signal) that specifies The air conditioner is instructed to operate at the fifth pleasant sleep air-conditioning set temperature (first pre-end time zone relative temperature-added air-conditioning set temperature) in consideration of the first pre-end time zone relative temperature, and two hours before the wake-up time. 4th good sleep relative temperature (2nd end) The operation of the fourth relative temperature consideration conditioning set temperature in consideration of the time period relative temperature) (range second before the end time relative temperature adding sleep conditioning set temperature), commands the air conditioner AC.
Therefore, in the operation system C1 of the third embodiment, the air conditioning set temperature is set in accordance with the user's preference in a state in which each warm sleep relative temperature is taken into consideration in the time zone until the time of getting up (end time). For example, immediately before waking up, the user lowers the air-conditioning set temperature in consideration of the fifth good sleep relative temperature in order to wake up comfortably, and in the time zone near wake-up, not just before wake-up, the fourth good sleep relative temperature is set in order to suppress the electricity bill. An input such as raising the air conditioning set temperature in consideration of the temperature is performed before bedtime, and the RC 24 automatically operates the air conditioning equipment AC in accordance with the input. Since each such adjustment is performed by adding each sleep relative temperature to the air-conditioning set temperature, the basic temperature adjustment can be easily performed while maintaining the temperature change for each time period.

Further, a pleasant sleep pattern including a combination of the fifth pleasant sleep relative temperature and the fourth pleasant sleep relative temperature (also serving as a pre-end time zone relative temperature pattern) can be referred to on the portable terminal 1 for each pleasant sleep pattern type.
Therefore, the app provider can suggest an example of a good sleep pattern to the user based on, for example, the degree of popularity (setting record), and the user can select the good sleep pattern to determine the fifth good sleep relative temperature and the fourth good sleep relative temperature. It is possible to easily input the combination of the good sleep relative temperature.
When the air-conditioning set temperature is controlled in the time zone based on the further (third) wake-up time, the third pre-end time zone relative temperature signal is added to the second pre-end time zone relative temperature signal. Used. The second pre-end time zone relative temperature signal and the third pre-end time zone relative temperature signal, or a further appropriate combination thereof with the fourth pre-end time zone relative temperature signal or later, is in the case of the post-start time zone described above. Similarly, it is collectively indicated as a j-th pre-end time zone relative temperature signal (j = [2,3] or [2,3,4] or ...).

In addition, the operation system C1 of the third mode appropriately has the same modification examples as the modification example of the first mode and the modification example of the second mode.
In addition, the reference of the post-start time zone relative temperature for each time zone after bedtime (after start) (refer to the first half of the sleep pattern) and the pre-end time zone relative temperature for each time zone before waking up (before end) (Refer to the latter half of the sleep pattern) may be performed independently. Even if the sound sleep pattern does not include the third sound sleep relative temperature in the time zone between the time zone related to the time zone relative temperature signal after the last start and the time zone related to the time zone relative temperature signal before the first end good.
