As a result, the transmission / reception master unit 50 can recognize the existence of a person in the garage and the existence of a person in the veranda 35 based on the detection information from the motion sensors 14 and 34. Further, the transmission / reception master unit 50 transmits detection signals of a current detector, a voltage detector, a temperature detector, and the like to a cloud server described later at a predetermined timing.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of a mobile communication terminal. In FIG. 4, the mobile communication terminal 701 is an example of a screen showing an initial state in which an application for an open / close control system is started. On the initial state screen of the mobile communication terminal 701, selection buttons such as "individual shutter", "all shutters in the building", "shutter in the building", and "garage shutter" are displayed.

The "individual shutter" selection button is selected when the garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter devices 2 to 4 shown in FIG. 1 are individually controlled. The selection button for "all shutters in the building" is selected when the garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter devices 2 to 4 shown in FIG. 1 are controlled at the same time. The "in-building shutter" selection button is selected when simultaneously controlling the window shutter devices 2 to 4 installed in the building among those shown in FIG.

The "garage shutter" selection button is selected when controlling only the garage shutter device 1 shown in FIG. A person mark indicating that a person exists in the garage is displayed on the selection button of the "garage shutter". By visually recognizing this person mark, it is possible to recognize that a person exists in the garage. The selection button on which the person mark is displayed may be shaded to indicate that it cannot be operated, and may be displayed so as to be distinguishable from other operable buttons.

In FIG. 4, the mobile communication terminal 702 shows an example of a screen when the selection button of the “individual shutter” of the mobile communication terminal 701 on which the initial state screen is displayed is operated. The mobile communication terminal 702 has "garage shutter", "first floor high-waist window shutter ST", "second-floor sweep-out window shutter ST", and "second-floor high-waist window shutter SL" as device names that can be opened and closed as shown in FIG. A selection button such as "is displayed.

The "garage shutter" selection button corresponds to the garage shutter device 1 shown in FIG. The selection button of "1st floor high-waist window shutter ST" corresponds to the standard type of the high-waist window shutter device shown in FIG. The selection button of the "second floor sweep-out window shutter ST" corresponds to the standard type of the sweep-out window shutter device 3 shown in FIG. The selection button of the "second floor high-waist window shutter SL" corresponds to the slit type of the high-waist window shutter device shown in FIG.

Similar to the screen of the mobile communication terminal 701, a person mark indicating that a person exists in the garage is displayed on the selection button of the "garage shutter" on the screen of the mobile communication terminal 702, and a net is displayed to indicate that the operation is not possible. It has a garage pattern. On the other hand, the person mark is not displayed on the selection button of the "second floor sweep-out window shutter ST" on the screen of the mobile communication terminal 702. This means that there are people in the garage, but no people on the balcony 35. The semi-closed operation may be operable even when the presence of a person is confirmed. Because it is in a semi-closed state, it does not correspond to confinement or eviction.

As shown in FIG. 3, these correspondences can be set in the transmission / reception master unit 50 at the stage when bidirectional communication between the transmission / reception slave units 13, 23, 33, 43 and the transmission / reception master unit 50 is established. The system is configured so that the set contents are displayed on a user terminal such as the mobile communication terminal 70. Therefore, instead of "2nd floor sweep-out window shutter ST" and "2nd floor high-waisted window shutter SL", the names such as "2nd floor XX room window shutter" and "2nd floor △△ room window shutter" can be understood. It may be assigned for ease of use. In this way, the name assigned to the transmission / reception master unit 50 is transmitted to the user terminal such as the mobile communication terminal 70 via the wireless router (access point) 60, so that the user terminal such as the mobile communication terminal 70 is transmitted to the transmission / reception parent. There is no need to register separately in the machine 50, just connect a user terminal such as a mobile communication terminal 70 to the wireless router (access point) 60, and use the user terminal such as the mobile communication terminal 70 to use the garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter. The opening / closing operation of the opening / closing stop or the halfway stop of the devices 2 to 4 can be appropriately controlled.

In FIG. 4, the mobile communication terminal 703 shows an example of a screen when the selection button of the “garage shutter” of the device name that can be opened / closed and opened / closed displayed on the mobile communication terminal 702 is operated. The device name "garage shutter", which is currently controlled, is displayed at the upper part of the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 703, and each operation button for opening / closing / stopping is displayed below the device name "garage shutter". Since the above-mentioned person mark is not displayed on the screen of the mobile communication terminal 703, it indicates that there is no person in the garage.

In FIG. 4, the mobile communication terminal 704 shows an example of a screen when the selection button of the device name “second floor high-waist window shutter SL” displayed on the mobile communication terminal 702 and which can be opened and closed is operated. At the top of the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 704, the device name "2nd floor high-waisted window shutter SL" currently being controlled is displayed, and below that, each operation button for opening / closing stop, for half-opening or half-closing halfway stop. Buttons and operation buttons for ventilation and lighting for adjusting ventilation or lighting are displayed.

As described above, the operation button for ventilation lighting of the mobile communication terminal 704 is a slit type in which the DIP switch status signal indicating the type of shutter of the high-waist window shutter device is "011", so the amount of lighting is adjusted accordingly. This is a slit-type shutter-specific operation button that is displayed for the purpose. Similarly, in the case of the blind type in which the DIP switch status signal indicating the type of the shutter is "101", the operation button of "ventilation lighting" for adjusting the ventilation volume is displayed like the mobile communication terminal 704. Will be. Therefore, when the DIP switch status signal indicating the type of shutter is the standard type of "000" or "001", the operation button of this "ventilation lighting" is not displayed, and it opens and closes like the mobile communication terminal 703. Only the stop or stop operation buttons will be displayed. Even in the case of the standard type, the operation button of "ventilation lighting" may be displayed in the same manner.

As described above, the device name "garage shutter", "1st floor high-waist window shutter ST", "2nd floor sweep-out window shutter ST", or "2nd floor high-waist window shutter" displayed on the mobile communication terminal 702 can be opened and closed. When the "SL" selection button is operated, the name of each device is displayed at the upper part of the display screen as shown in the mobile communication terminals 703 and 704, and the garage shutter device is displayed using the display screen of the mobile communication terminals 703 and 704. It becomes possible to control the opening / closing stop, halfway stop, or opening / closing operation of the ventilation volume or the lighting amount of any one of 1 and the window shutter devices 2 to 4. In FIG. 4, in the garage shutter device 1, the operation button for stopping halfway and the operation button for ventilation and lighting are hidden, but they may be displayed.

When the selection button of "all shutters in the building" is operated on the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 701, the characters "all shutters in the building" are displayed at the upper part of the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 703, and the mobile communication terminal 703 It becomes possible to control the opening and closing of all shutters at the same time (simultaneously) by using. In the case of all shutters in the building, only the open operation and the close operation can be performed, and the stop operation button cannot be operated. This is because the time required for the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing device is different between the high-waisted window shutter and the sweep-out window shutter, so it is difficult for the operator to determine at what stage the stop operation is performed when the stop operation is performed. , In this embodiment, the stop operation cannot be performed for all the shutters in the building. Of course, it goes without saying that all the shutters in the building or some of the shutters may be configured to be able to stop. In addition, it may be possible to set the open state or the closed state by half or about one-third of the fully open or fully closed state.

When the selection button of "shutter in the building" is operated on the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 701, "1st floor high-waist window shutter ST" and "2" in the building are used as device names that can be opened and closed as shown in FIG. The display screen of the mobile communication terminal 703 or 704 that can operate the "floor sweep-out window shutter ST" and the "second floor high-waisted window shutter SL" is displayed, and the opening / closing or halfway stop of each window shutter or the ventilation volume or the light collection amount is displayed. It becomes possible to control the opening and closing operation. Note that, in FIG. 1, the remote control operation switches 32 and 42 show a wireless operator dedicated to the shutter device having only the open / close stop button, but the open / close stop as in the mobile communication terminal 704 of FIG. In addition to the operation buttons, an operation button capable of controlling the halfway stop and / or the opening / closing operation of the ventilation volume or the lighting volume may be provided.

When the selection button for the garage shutter is operated on the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 701, the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 703 is displayed. Therefore, the mobile communication terminal 703 is used as it is to open / close the garage shutter device 1. You will be able to control the opening and closing operation of. That is, in the opening / closing control system shown in FIG. 1, the garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter devices 2 to are used by using a user terminal such as a mobile communication terminal 70 other than the remote control operation switches 12, 22, 32, 42 dedicated to the opening / closing body device. The opening / closing operation of the opening / closing stop of 4 can be appropriately controlled. A user terminal such as the mobile communication terminal 70 functions as a wireless operator means shared by the garage shutter device 1 and the window shutter devices 2 to 4. Further, since the transmission / reception master unit 50 and the user terminal such as the mobile communication terminal 70 are connected via the wireless router (access point) 60, the mobile communication terminal certified by WEP (WPA, WPA2 may be used). Since only the user terminal such as 70 is connected to the transmission / reception master unit 50, high security can be constructed.

Therefore, in the next second embodiment, even if the transmission / reception master unit 50 is disconnected from the Internet due to a malfunction of the wireless router (access point) 60, the garage shutter device 1 or the window shutter in the house can be used from the outside via the Internet. Allow the devices 2 to 4 to be operated.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a wireless communication device (transmission / reception master unit) capable of being able to connect from the outside via the Internet even when the access point is malfunctioning, and is a diagram showing the transmission / reception master unit 50 and the wireless router of FIG. The schematic configuration of (access point) 60 is shown. In FIG. 7, the wireless router (access point) 60 has a WAN terminal 60a and four LAN terminals illustrated, and other configurations are omitted. The WAN terminal 60a is connected to the terminal 50a of the transmission / reception master unit 50 with a cable. One of the four LAN terminals, the LAN terminal 60b, is connected to the LAN terminal 50b of the transmission / reception master unit 50 with a cable. Each terminal may be wirelessly connected.

The transmission / reception master unit 50 includes a control unit 501, a router unit 502, and changeover switches 503 and 504. In FIG. 7, other functions of the transmission / reception master unit 50 are omitted. The control unit 501 is a microcomputer that controls the operation of the transmission / reception master unit 50. The router unit 502 has a function of connecting to the Internet 95 like the wireless router (access point) 60 and a function of being able to connect to a Wi-Fi terminal by using the wireless function. The changeover switch 503 controls either the WAN terminal 60a of the wireless router (access point) 60 (terminal 50a of the transmission / reception master unit 50) or the WAN terminal 502a of the router unit 502 to the WAN terminal 50c connected to the Internet 95. Selectively connect according to the control signal from the unit 501. The changeover switch 504 selectively connects either the LAN terminal 50b of the transmission / reception master unit 50 or the LAN terminal of the router unit 502 according to the control signal from the control 501.

The switching process of the changeover switches 503 and 504 executed by the control unit 501 of the transmission / reception master unit 50 is executed as follows. In the initial state, the changeover switch 503 is connected to the terminal 50a of the transmission / reception master unit 50 (WAN terminal 60a of the wireless router 60), and the changeover switch 504 is connected to the LAN terminal 50b of the transmission / reception master unit 50 (LAN terminal 60b of the wireless router 60). ing. When the wireless router (access point) 60 is operating normally, the connection relationship in this initial state is maintained. The control unit 501 determines whether or not the access point is normally connected to the Internet via the changeover switch 504, the LAN terminal 50b of the transmission / reception master unit 50, and the LAN terminal 60b of the wireless router (access point) 60. It is confirmed at a predetermined interruption cycle.

The control unit 501 determines whether or not the user is connected to the Internet via the WAN terminal 60a of the wireless router (access point) 60, the terminal 50a of the transmission / reception master unit 50, the changeover switch 503, and the WAN terminal 50c of the transmission / reception master unit 50. Then, when they are not connected, the connection state of the changeover switches 503 and 504 is switched. That is, the changeover switch 503 switches the connection to the WAN terminal 502a of the router unit 502, and the changeover switch 504 switches the connection to the LAN terminal of the router unit 502. As a result, the router unit 502 can be connected to the Internet in place of the wireless router (access point) 60. As a result, even if the wireless communication device (transmission / reception master unit 50) is disconnected from the Internet due to a malfunction of the wireless router (access point) 60, the router unit 502 is connected to the Internet, so that the mobile communication terminal 70 can be connected from outside the home. It can be used to operate the opening / closing device in the house.

If the router unit 502 malfunctions after switching to the router unit 502, the transmission / reception master unit 50 is switched from the infrastructure mode connection method to the ad hoc mode connection method as in the first embodiment. And the mobile communication terminal 70 may be connected.
