図3は空調管理サーバの処理フローを示す第1の図である。
次に図3を用いて、本実施形態による空調システムの処理フローについて説明する。
まず、ユーザが保持するICタグ1は自装置内のメモリに記憶する識別ID(識別情報)を含む無線信号を断続的(例えば所定の間隔おき)に発信する。そしてリーダ2が無線信号を受信すると共に、受信強度検出部によって無線信号の受信強度を検出する。そしてリーダ2は無線信号に含まれるICタグ1の識別IDと検出した受信強度と自装置の識別IDとを通信ネットワークを介して空調管理サーバ10へ通知する。ここで、リーダ2は、それぞれが通信ネットワークを介して情報を空調管理サーバ10へ直接送信してもよいし、例えば、リーダ2がそれぞれ他のリーダ2から送信された情報を転送する機能部を有しており、情報を転送することによって、複数のリーダ2を経由して最終的に空調管理サーバ10へ情報を送信するようにしても良い。
FIG. 3 is a first diagram illustrating a processing flow of the air conditioning management server.
Next, the processing flow of the air conditioning system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the IC tag 1 held by the user transmits a radio signal including an identification ID (identification information) stored in a memory in the device intermittently (for example, at predetermined intervals). The reader 2 receives the radio signal, and the reception intensity detection unit detects the reception intensity of the radio signal. Then, the reader 2 notifies the air conditioning management server 10 of the identification ID of the IC tag 1 included in the wireless signal, the detected reception intensity, and the identification ID of its own device via the communication network. Here, each of the readers 2 may directly transmit information to the air conditioning management server 10 via a communication network. For example, the reader 2 may include a functional unit that transfers information transmitted from each of the other readers 2. The information may be finally transmitted to the air conditioning management server 10 via the plurality of readers 2 by transferring the information.

空調管理サーバ10ではリーダ2から送信された情報を通信処理部11が受信する(ステップS1)。そして空調設備決定部13は、リーダ2からICタグ1の識別情報を受信したか否かを判定し(ステップS2)、受信したと判定した場合には、次に、在室者が室内において不均衡に点在しているか否かを判定する(ステップS3)。例えば、室内を複数に区切った各小区画それぞれにリーダ2を備えておき、また予めデータベース12に各小区画の範囲を座標によって記憶しておく。そして複数の小区画のうち所定の数以上の小区画に備えられたリーダ2で無線信号を受信した場合(リーダ2の識別IDにより無線信号を受信したリーダ2を把握する)には、在室者が室内において均衡して点在していると判断する。以上の処理が在室状況情報処理である。   In the air conditioning management server 10, the communication processing unit 11 receives the information transmitted from the reader 2 (step S1). Then, the air conditioning equipment determination unit 13 determines whether or not the identification information of the IC tag 1 has been received from the reader 2 (step S2). It is determined whether or not the balance is scattered (step S3). For example, the reader 2 is provided in each of the small sections obtained by dividing the room into a plurality, and the range of each small section is previously stored in the database 12 by coordinates. When a wireless signal is received by the reader 2 provided in a predetermined number or more of the plurality of small sections (the reader 2 that has received the wireless signal is identified by the identification ID of the reader 2), It is determined that the person is scattered in a balanced manner in the room. The above processing is occupancy status information processing.

次に在室者が室内において均衡して点在している場合には、空調設備決定部13は、部屋全体に対して快適環境を実現するための制御対象となる空調設備を決定する(ステップS4)。例えば、1つの室内に縦m区画、横n区画、計m×n区画の小区画mnがある場合には、小区画11、小区画m1、小区画1n、小区画mn、小区画(m+1)/2,(n+1)/2、の各小区画に位置する吹出口3、吸入口4を制御対象の空調設備と決定する。また、室内に在室する人数の多さによって、基準の人数以上か以下かを判定し、例えば基準の人数以上の場合には、制御対象の空調設備の位置する小区画の間隔を小さくして、より多くの空調設備の位置する小区画を室内全体に均一に特定するようにしてもよい。図4は小区画と、小区画11、小区画m1、小区画1n、小区画mn、小区画(m+1)/2、(n+1)/2それぞれを示す図である。 Next, when the occupants are scattered in the room in a balanced manner, the air-conditioning equipment determination unit 13 determines the air-conditioning equipment to be controlled for realizing a comfortable environment for the entire room (step) S4). For example, if there is a small section mn of m vertical sections, horizontal n sections, and a total of m × n sections in one room, the small section 11 , the small section m1 , the small section 1n , the small section mn , and the small section (m + 1) The air outlet 3 and the inlet 4 located in each of the small sections / 2, (n + 1) / 2 are determined as the air conditioning equipment to be controlled. Also, it is determined whether the number of people in the room is greater than or less than the reference number of people. For example, if the number is greater than or equal to the reference number of people, the interval between the small sections where the controlled air conditioning equipment is located is reduced. The small sections where more air conditioning facilities are located may be specified uniformly throughout the room. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a small section, a small section 11 , a small section m1 , a small section 1n , a small section mn , a small section (m + 1) / 2, and (n + 1) / 2 .

なお、在室者の位置を、ICタグ1から発信された前記無線信号の受信強度によって、特定するようにしても良い。その場合には、複数のリーダ2で検出した同一ICタグ1からの無線信号の受信強度に基づいて、3点測量の手法を用いて位置を特定するなどして座標を算出する。なお、この場合、受信強度に応じた距離を予め記憶し、距離と各リーダ2の座標とに基づいて算出する。そして算出した座標に最も近い空調設備を制御対象の空調設備と決定する。   The position of the occupant may be specified by the reception intensity of the wireless signal transmitted from the IC tag 1. In that case, the coordinates are calculated by specifying the position using a three-point surveying method based on the reception intensity of the radio signal from the same IC tag 1 detected by the plurality of readers 2. In this case, the distance corresponding to the reception intensity is stored in advance and is calculated based on the distance and the coordinates of each reader 2. The air conditioning equipment closest to the calculated coordinates is determined as the air conditioning equipment to be controlled.

また、在室者が室内において不均衡に点在している場合には、空調設備決定部13は、在室者の位置に応じた空調設備の制御であって、消費電力を節減できるような制御ができる、制御対象の空調設備を決定する(ステップS5)。例えば、無線信号を受信したリーダ2の識別情報から在室者の位置する前記小区画を決定し、当該小区画に位置する吹出口3、吸入口4のみを制御対象の空調設備と決定する。   In addition, when the occupants are scattered in the room in an unbalanced manner, the air conditioner determining unit 13 controls the air conditioner according to the position of the occupant and can reduce power consumption. The control target air conditioning equipment that can be controlled is determined (step S5). For example, the small section where the occupant is located is determined from the identification information of the reader 2 that has received the wireless signal, and only the air outlet 3 and the suction port 4 positioned in the small section are determined as the air conditioning equipment to be controlled.

次に、空調設備決定部13が制御対象の空調設備を決定すると、制御情報生成部14が制御情報を生成する(ステップS6)。この制御情報は吹出口3に対しては風向き、吹出口開閉指示、吹出口大きさなどを示す情報である。制御情報生成部14は、制御対象となる空調設備に位置する小区画のリーダ2から送信されたタグ1の識別IDの受信強度と、タグ1の識別IDの数(在室者の人数)によって、所定の計算式により、風向き、吹出口の大きさを算出する。例えば、制御対象の小区画に位置するリーダ2で受信したタグ1の識別IDが所定の数以上である場合には、吹出口の大きさを最大と指示する制御情報を生成する。また制御対象以外の吹出口3や吸入口4に対しては吹出口を閉じるよう指示する制御情報を生成する。また空調機6に対しては、制御対象の小区画に位置するリーダ2で受信したICタグ1の識別IDが所定の数以上である場合には冷風の度合いを最も強い値、風量を最も強い値などに設定した制御情報を生成する。   Next, when the air conditioning equipment determination unit 13 determines the air conditioning equipment to be controlled, the control information generation unit 14 generates control information (step S6). This control information is information indicating a wind direction, an outlet opening / closing instruction, an outlet size, and the like for the outlet 3. The control information generation unit 14 depends on the reception strength of the identification ID of the tag 1 transmitted from the reader 2 of the small section located in the air conditioning equipment to be controlled and the number of identification IDs of the tag 1 (the number of people in the room). Then, the wind direction and the size of the outlet are calculated by a predetermined calculation formula. For example, when the identification ID of the tag 1 received by the reader 2 located in the small section to be controlled is equal to or larger than a predetermined number, the control information for instructing the maximum size of the blowout port is generated. Control information for instructing the outlet 3 and the inlet 4 other than the control target to close the outlet is generated. For the air conditioner 6, when the identification ID of the IC tag 1 received by the reader 2 located in the small section to be controlled is a predetermined number or more, the degree of cold air is the strongest value, and the air volume is strongest. Generate control information set to values.

そして制御情報生成部14は、生成した制御情報を空調設備決定部13で決定された空調設備に送信するよう通信処理部11に通知する。そして、通信処理部11は、制御情報を制御対象の空調設備に送信する(ステップS7)。以上の処理が空調制御設定処理である。そして制御情報を受信した空調設備は制御情報に基づいて作動する。そして以上の処理により、例えば図1に示すように部屋の左側に在室者がいるような場合には、実線で示した矢印の経路に沿って冷風や温風が循環する。なおここまでの説明では在室者の室内での位置のみを考慮しているが、ICタグに温度センサを取り付けて、その情報もあわせて用いることも考えられる。   Then, the control information generation unit 14 notifies the communication processing unit 11 to transmit the generated control information to the air conditioning facility determined by the air conditioning facility determination unit 13. And the communication processing part 11 transmits control information to the air conditioning equipment of control object (step S7). The above process is the air conditioning control setting process. The air conditioning equipment that has received the control information operates based on the control information. By the above processing, for example, when there is a occupant on the left side of the room as shown in FIG. 1, cold air and hot air circulate along the path indicated by the solid line. In the description so far, only the position of the occupant in the room is considered, but it is also possible to attach a temperature sensor to the IC tag and use the information together.

図5は空調管理サーバの処理フローを示す第2の図である。
次に、図5を用いて在室者が空調設備の調節を手動で行った際の処理について説明する。
在室者は端末を用いて、空調設備の調節を行っても良い。その際、端末からは通信ネットワークを経由して制御指示情報が送信される。制御指示情報には、端末の識別ID、端末を操作する在室者のID、設定温度、風量などの情報が格納されている。空調管理サーバ10の通信処理部11が通信ネットワークを介して制御指示情報を受信すると(ステップS51)、制御指示処理部15は既に空調設備決定部13が制御対象と決定した空調設備の制御指示であるか否かを判定する(ステップS52)。そして、例えば、予め管理者としてのユーザのIDをデータベース12に記憶しておき、制御指示情報に含まれる端末を操作する在室者の識別IDが管理者のIDと異なる場合であって、かつ既に空調設備決定部13が制御対象と決定した空調設備の制御指示である場合には、制御不可と判断して端末に通知する(ステップS53)。これにより、既に空調管理サーバ10が在室者の室内に位置する状況に応じて適切に空調設備を制御しているにもかかわらず、無駄な電力を消費するような制御指示が在室者から要望されたとしても、それを拒否することが可能となる。これにより消費電力を軽減することができる。
FIG. 5 is a second diagram showing a processing flow of the air conditioning management server.
Next, the process when the occupant manually adjusts the air conditioning equipment will be described with reference to FIG.
The occupant may adjust the air conditioning equipment using the terminal. At that time, control instruction information is transmitted from the terminal via the communication network. The control instruction information stores information such as the terminal identification ID, the ID of the occupant operating the terminal, the set temperature, and the air volume. When the communication processing unit 11 of the air conditioning management server 10 receives the control instruction information via the communication network (step S51), the control instruction processing unit 15 is the control instruction of the air conditioning equipment that has already been determined as the control target by the air conditioning equipment determining unit 13. It is determined whether or not there is (step S52). For example, the ID of the user as the administrator is stored in the database 12 in advance, and the identification ID of the occupant operating the terminal included in the control instruction information is different from the ID of the administrator, and If it is a control instruction for the air conditioning equipment that has already been determined to be controlled by the air conditioning equipment determining unit 13, it is determined that control is impossible and the terminal is notified (step S53). Thereby, even though the air conditioning management server 10 has already appropriately controlled the air conditioning equipment according to the situation where the air conditioning management server 10 is located in the room of the occupant, a control instruction that consumes wasted power is issued from the occupant. If requested, it can be rejected. Thereby, power consumption can be reduced.

また制御指示処理部15は、制御指示情報に含まれる端末を操作する在室者の識別IDが管理者のIDである場合や、既に空調設備決定部13が制御対象と決定した空調設備以外の空調設備の制御指示である場合などには、制御可能と判断し、制御指示情報に含まれる制御用の情報(設定温度、風量など)を、制御指示情報を送信した端末の位置する小区画の空調設備へ送信する(ステップS54)。以上の処理が空調要求処理である。なおデータベースは予め各小区画に位置に備えられたリーダ2と空調設備と端末の情報を対応づけて記憶し、これにより、端末やリーダ2の位置する小区画に対応する空調設備を把握することができる。   In addition, the control instruction processing unit 15 is configured such that when the identification ID of the occupant operating the terminal included in the control instruction information is the manager's ID, or other than the air conditioning facility that has already been determined as the control target by the air conditioning facility determining unit In the case of an air conditioner control instruction, it is determined that control is possible, and the control information (set temperature, air volume, etc.) included in the control instruction information is stored in the small section where the terminal that transmitted the control instruction information is located. It transmits to an air conditioner (step S54). The above processing is the air conditioning request processing. Note that the database stores information on the reader 2, air conditioning equipment, and terminal provided in each subcompartment in advance in association with each other, thereby grasping the air conditioning equipment corresponding to the subcompartment where the terminal and the reader 2 are located. Can do.

例えば、図1においては、部屋の左側について実線で示された矢印により、温風や冷風が循環するようなイメージとなっているが、管理者が部屋全体を暖めておきたい(または涼しくしておきたい)時など、端末を制御して空調管理サーバ10に制御指示情報を送信しておくことで、図1の点線の矢印の部分についても温風や冷風が循環する。この時、点線の矢印で表されている温風や冷風の吹き出る吹出口や吸入口が動作する。これは、例えば10分後に大勢の来客がある場合や、数時間後に部屋が試験会場となるような時に有用である。   For example, in FIG. 1, an arrow indicated by a solid line on the left side of the room is an image in which hot air or cold air circulates, but the administrator wants to warm the entire room (or make it cool) When the terminal is controlled and the control instruction information is transmitted to the air-conditioning management server 10, for example, hot air and cold air circulate in the dotted arrows in FIG. At this time, the air outlet and the inlet from which hot air and cold air are blown out, which are represented by dotted arrows, operate. This is useful, for example, when there are a large number of visitors after 10 minutes, or when a room becomes a test venue after several hours.
