  Open / close covers such as blinds installed in windows of buildings are widely used. The open / close type cover is for adjusting the amount of external light incident on the room, but can adjust the amount of sunlight incident in the daytime. Therefore, not only the indoor brightness but also the indoor temperature can be adjusted by the openable cover. That is, the openable cover can increase the indoor temperature by increasing the incident amount, suppress the indoor temperature increase by suppressing the incident amount, and the like.

  By the way, when the openable cover is opened, more sunlight enters the indoor space near the window than in the indoor space away from the window. For this reason, the temperature distribution in the room becomes non-uniform compared to before opening the openable cover. Therefore, when the openable cover is opened, it is preferable from the viewpoint of energy saving to start the circulation of the indoor air or to circulate the air more than the current state.

  However, in the conventional technique, when the openable cover is opened, the circulation of the indoor air cannot be started, or the air cannot be circulated more than the current state.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to control a circulation of air in a room such as a house to reduce the power consumed in the room, and a control method in the controller And providing a program for realizing the controller.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, the controller controls an air circulation device that circulates indoor air by generating wind. The controller includes a memory that stores a program, a processor that executes the program, and a communication interface that communicates with the air circulation device and the first external device. The communication interface receives, from the first external device, a first signal indicating that the adjustment device that adjusts the amount of sunlight incident on the room by the opening / closing operation has changed from the closed state to the open state. The processor performs control to increase the air volume of the air circulation device using the communication interface based on the reception of the first signal by the communication interface.

  Preferably, the communication interface further receives temperature information indicating the detected temperature from a temperature sensor that detects an indoor temperature. The processor determines whether the temperature has increased by a predetermined value after the communication interface receives the first signal based on the temperature information. The processor performs control to increase the air volume based on the temperature rising by a predetermined value.

  Preferably, the controller further includes a timer for measuring time. The processor determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed since the communication interface received the first signal based on the measured time. The processor performs control to increase the air volume based on the elapse of a predetermined time.

  Preferably, the communication interface further receives, from the second external device, a second signal indicating that the window that partitions the room from the outside is in an open state. The processor performs control to decrease the air volume based on the fact that the communication interface receives the second signal after performing control to increase the air volume.

  According to another aspect of the present invention, the control method is a control method in a controller that controls an air circulation device that circulates indoor air by generating wind. The controller includes a processor that executes a program stored in the memory, and a communication interface that communicates with the air circulation device and external devices. The control method includes a step in which a communication interface receives a signal from an external device indicating that an adjustment device that adjusts an amount of sunlight incident on a room by an opening / closing operation has changed from a closed state to an open device; And performing control to increase the air volume of the air circulation device using the communication interface based on the reception of the signal by the interface.

  When the further another situation of this invention is followed, a program is a program for controlling the controller of the air circulation apparatus which circulates indoor air by generating a wind. The program receives from the external device a signal indicating that the adjustment device that adjusts the amount of sunlight incident on the room through the opening / closing operation has changed from the closed state to the open device, and has received the signal from the external device. Based on the above, the controller is caused to execute a step of performing control to increase the air volume of the air circulation device.

  The opening / closing device 20 opens and closes the blind 80 in response to a command from the home controller 10. When the process of changing the blind 80 from the closed state to the open state is completed, the opening / closing device 20 transmits a signal (hereinafter also referred to as “signal P1”) indicating that the blind 80 is in the open state to the home controller 10. . In addition, when the process of switching the blind 80 from the open state to the closed state is completed, the opening / closing device 20 transmits a signal indicating that the blind 80 has been closed to the home controller 10. The home controller 10 stores the signals.

  The blind 80 is capable of raising and lowering the slats constituting the blind 80 and adjusting the angle of the slats. Here, the “open state of the blind 80” means that the slat is raised to the position of the attachment portion to the wall surface of the blind, the lower end of the blind is raised above a certain position, and the slat is in a vertical state. It means that there is no state, that the slat is rotated and moved from a vertical state by a certain angle or more, and the slat is in a horizontal state.

When the window 90 is in an open state, the window sensor 30 transmits a signal indicating that the window 90 is in an open state (hereinafter also referred to as “signal P2”) to the home controller 10. When the window 90 is closed, the window sensor 30 transmits a signal indicating that the window 90 is closed to the home controller 10. The home controller 10 stores the signals.

  The illuminance sensor 40 measures the illuminance outside the room and transmits the measurement result to the home controller 10.

  The temperature sensor 50 operates based on a command from the home controller 10. When the temperature sensor 50 receives a command for measuring the temperature from the home controller 10, the temperature sensor 50 measures the indoor temperature and transmits the measurement result to the home controller 10.

  The air circulation device 60 circulates indoor air by generating wind. The air circulation device 60 operates based on a command from the home controller 10.

  For example, when the air circulation device 60 receives a command indicating the amount of wind generated from the home controller 10 (for example, “weak”, “medium”, “strong”), the air circulating device 60 generates a wind of the amount of air corresponding to the command. To work. Further, the air circulation device 60 receives an operation start command and an operation stop command from the home controller 10. In this case, the air circulation device 60 starts or stops operation according to the command.

  The timer 106 measures time. The communication interface 108 communicates with the opening / closing device 20, the window sensor 30, the illuminance sensor 40, the temperature sensor 50, and the air circulation device 60.

  The components 101 to 109 are connected to each other by a data bus. A memory card 191 is attached to the IC card reader / writer 109.

  The processing in the home controller 10 is realized by each hardware and software executed by the CPU 101. Such software may be stored in the flash memory 104 in advance. The software may be stored in a memory card 191 or other storage medium and distributed as a program product. Alternatively, the software may be provided as a program product that can be downloaded by an information provider connected to the so-called Internet. Such software is read from the storage medium by the IC card reader / writer 109 or other reading device, or downloaded via the communication interface 108 and then temporarily stored in the flash memory 104. The software is read from the flash memory 104 by the CPU 101 and further stored in the flash memory 104 in the form of an executable program. The CPU 101 executes the program.

  Each component which comprises the home controller 10 shown by the figure is a general thing. Therefore, it can be said that an essential part of the present invention is software stored in the flash memory 104, the memory card 191 or other storage medium, or software that can be downloaded via a network. Since the operation of each hardware of home controller 10 is well known, detailed description will not be repeated.

  The recording media are not limited to DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, FD (Flexible Disk), and hard disk, but are magnetic tape, cassette tape, optical disk (MO (Magnetic Optical Disc) / MD (Mini Disc) / DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), optical card, mask ROM, EPROM (Electronically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), EEPROM (Electronically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), and a medium carrying a fixed program such as a semiconductor memory such as a flash ROM . The recording medium is a non-temporary medium that can be read by the computer.

  The program here includes not only a program directly executable by the CPU but also a program in a source program format, a compressed program, an encrypted program, and the like.

  Next, the program and data stored in the flash memory 104 will be described more specifically.

  The flash memory 104 stores a control program for controlling the air circulation device 60. The flash memory 104 stores various data such as data generated by the home controller 10 and data acquired from an external device of the home controller 10 in a volatile manner. The flash memory 104 stores, as an external device, data acquired from, for example, the opening / closing device 20, the window sensor 30, the illuminance sensor, the temperature sensor 50, and the like in a volatile manner.

  The flash memory 104 stores blind state information indicating whether the blind 80 is open or closed. Specifically, the flash memory 104 selects either the information indicating that the blind 80 is in the open state or the information indicating that it is in the closed state according to the open / closed state of the blind 80 as the blind state information. To store.

  The flash memory 104 stores window state information indicating whether the window 90 is open or closed. Specifically, the flash memory 104 selects either the information indicating that the window 90 is open or the information indicating that it is closed according to the open / closed state of the window 90 as the window state information. To store.

  Further, the flash memory 104 stores date / time information indicating a predetermined date / time. The date / time information includes information indicating a predetermined period and information indicating a predetermined time zone. Note that the predetermined period is, for example, a winter period. The predetermined time zone is a sunshine time zone. Preferably, the predetermined time zone is a day time zone (for example, from 12:00 to 3 o'clock) when the amount of solar radiation is large.

  Further, the flash memory 104 stores a flag (hereinafter referred to as “air volume increase flag”) indicating whether or not the air circulation device 60 performs control to increase the air volume described later. The CPU 101 turns on the air volume increase flag when performing control to increase the air volume, and turns off the air volume increase flag when control for increasing the air volume is not performed.

<Details of home controller processing>
Next, processing in the CPU 101 and the communication interface 108 of the home controller 10 will be described.

  (1) The CPU 101 executes a control program stored in the flash memory 104. The communication interface 108 communicates with the air circulation device 60 and the opening / closing device 20 in response to a command from the CPU 101. The communication interface 108 receives the signal P <b> 1 from the opening / closing device 20 when the blind 80 changes from the closed state to the open state. The CPU 101 performs control to increase the air volume of the air circulation device 60 using the communication interface 108 based on the reception of the signal P1 by the communication interface 108.

  For example, when the air circulation device 60 is operating in a state where the air volume is “weak”, the CPU 101 transmits a command to the air circulation device 60 to change the air volume to “medium” or “strong”. . Whether the air volume is set to “medium” or “strong” is based on the description of the control program stored in the flash memory 104.

  For example, when the air circulation device 60 is not operating, the CPU 101 transmits a command to operate the air circulation device 60 to the air circulation device 60. Which air volume is set is based on the description of the control program.

  With the above processing, the home controller 10 can start the circulation of indoor air when the blind 80 is opened, or can circulate the air more than the current state. Therefore, the home controller 10 can control the air circulation in a room such as a house and reduce the power of a temperature control device such as an air conditioner consumed in the room.

  (2) The details are as follows. The communication interface 108 further receives temperature information indicating the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 50 from the temperature sensor 50. Note that the CPU 101 stores the received temperature information in the flash memory 104.

  The CPU 101 determines whether or not the temperature has increased by a predetermined value after the communication interface 108 receives the signal P1 based on the temperature information. The value is stored in advance in the flash memory 104 as part of the control program. The value is 3 degrees as an example. The CPU 101 performs the above-described control for increasing the air volume based on the increase in the temperature by the predetermined value.

  In this way, the home controller 10 does not perform control to increase the air volume of the air circulation device 60 as soon as the blind 80 is opened, but performs control to increase the air volume after the room temperature has risen above a certain temperature. Therefore, the home controller 10 can reduce the electric power consumed in the room as compared with the case where the air volume of the air circulation device 60 is increased as soon as the blind 80 is opened.

  (3) Furthermore, the CPU 101 performs control to decrease the air volume based on the fact that the communication interface 108 receives the signal P2 after performing control to increase the air volume. For example, the CPU 101 performs control to change the air volume from “medium” to “weak” based on the fact that the communication interface 108 receives the signal P2 after performing control to change the air volume from “weak” to “medium”.

  When the window 90 is opened, the exchange of indoor air and outdoor air occurs naturally. Therefore, when the window 90 is opened after the blind 80 is opened, the air circulation in the room is more active than when the window 90 is not opened. Therefore, when the window 90 is opened, it is possible to further reduce power consumption by reducing the air volume of the air circulation device 60 in consideration of circulation by natural wind.

  (4) The CPU 101 performs control to operate the temperature sensor 50 based on the fact that the communication interface 108 has received the signal P1. For example, the CPU 101 sends a command to the temperature sensor 50 to change the temperature sensor 50 from a sleep state or a state where power is not supplied to an active state. In response to the command, the temperature sensor 50 starts detecting the indoor temperature.

  Therefore, it is not necessary to keep the temperature sensor 50 operating at all times. Therefore, the home controller 10 can reduce the consumed electric power compared with the case where the temperature sensor 50 is always operated.

  (5) The communication interface 108 receives illuminance information indicating the detected illuminance from the illuminance sensor 40. The CPU 101 performs control for opening the blind 80 using the communication interface 108 based on the fact that the illuminance is higher than a predetermined value in the state where the blind 80 is closed. Specifically, the CPU 101 sends a command to the opening / closing device 20 via the communication interface 108 so as to open the blind 80.

  More specifically, the CPU 101 determines that the illuminance is higher than a predetermined value in a state where the blind 80 is closed, and that the current date and time is within the predetermined period and time zone described above. Control to open the blind 80 is performed.

  Therefore, the home controller 10 performs control to automatically open the blind 80 when the amount of solar radiation in winter is large, for example, so that the room is warmer than when the blind 80 is not opened. Therefore, the home controller 10 can reduce the power required for heating.

  More detailed processing by the CPU 101 and the communication interface 108 will be described with reference to FIG.

<Control structure>
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a processing flow in the home controller 10. Referring to FIG. 4, in step S <b> 2, CPU 101 reads date / time information from flash memory 104. In step S <b> 4, the CPU 101 acquires illuminance information indicating the current illuminance from the illuminance sensor 40. In step S <b> 6, the CPU 101 determines whether to open the blind 80 based on the current time, the read date / time information, and the acquired illuminance information. Specifically, when the illuminance is higher than a predetermined value when the blind 80 is closed, and the current date and time is within the predetermined period and time zone described above, the CPU 101 It is determined that 80 is opened.

  When CPU 101 determines that blind 80 is to be opened (YES in step S6), it reads the blind state information from flash memory 104 in step S8. In step S10, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the blind 80 is in an open state based on the blind state information.

  When CPU 101 determines that blind 80 is not in the open state (NO in step S12), it sends a command to open / close device 20 to open blind 80 in step S12. On the other hand, when CPU 101 determines that blind 80 is in the open state (YES in step S12), the process proceeds to step S24.

  In step S <b> 14, the CPU 101 transmits a command for operating the temperature sensor 50 to the temperature sensor 50. In step S <b> 16, the CPU 101 continuously acquires temperature information from the temperature sensor 50. In step S18, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the indoor temperature has increased by a predetermined value or more after the blind 80 is opened. To be exact, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the indoor temperature has increased by a predetermined value or more after issuing a command to open the blind 80 to the opening / closing device 20. More precisely, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the indoor temperature has increased by a predetermined value or more after the temperature sensor 50 starts measuring the indoor temperature.

  When CPU 101 determines that the room temperature has increased by a predetermined value or more (YES in step S18), CPU 101 transmits to air circulation device 60 a command to increase the air volume of air circulation device 60 in step S20. On the other hand, when CPU 101 determines that the temperature in the room has not increased by a predetermined value or more (NO in step S18), the process proceeds to step S16. In step S22, the CPU 101 turns on the air volume increase flag and advances the process to step S24.

  In step S24, the CPU 101 reads window state information from the flash memory 104. In step S26, the CPU 101 determines whether the window 90 is open based on the window state information. If CPU 101 determines that window 90 is not open (NO in step S26), the process proceeds to step S34. When CPU 101 determines that window 90 is open (YES in step S26), CPU 101 determines whether or not the air volume increase flag is ON in step S28.

  When CPU 101 determines that the air volume increase flag is not ON (that is, OFF) (NO in step S28), the process proceeds to step S34. If the CPU 101 determines that the air volume increase flag is ON, the CPU 101 sends a command for reducing the air volume of the air circulation device 60 to the air circulation device 60 in step S30. In step S32, the CPU 101 turns off the air volume increase flag and advances the process to step S34.

  By the way, when the CPU 101 determines in step S6 that the blind 80 is not opened (NO in step S6), the CPU 101 reads the blind state information from the flash memory 104 in step S36. In step S38, the CPU 101 determines whether the blind 80 is in the open state based on the blind state information. If CPU 101 determines that blind 80 is in the open state (YES in step S38), it sends a command to open / close device 20 to close blind 80 in step S40. On the other hand, when CPU 101 determines that blind 80 is not in the open state (YES in step S38), the process proceeds to step S34.

  In step S <b> 34, the CPU 101 determines whether an input for ending the control of the air volume of the air circulation device 60 has been received from the user via the input device 107. If CPU 101 determines that no input has been received (NO in step S34), the process proceeds to step S2. On the other hand, when CPU 101 determines that an input has been received (YES in step S34), the series of processing ends.

<Modification>
(1) In the above description, the configuration has been described in which the control for increasing the air volume of the air circulation device 60 is performed based on the fact that the temperature has increased by a predetermined value after the communication interface 108 receives the signal P1. Below, the structure which utilizes time instead of temperature is demonstrated.

  The CPU 101 controls the timer 106 to start measuring time based on the fact that the communication interface 108 has received the signal P1. Based on the measured time, the CPU 101 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the communication interface 108 received the signal P1. The CPU 101 performs control to increase the air volume of the air circulation device 60 based on the elapse of a predetermined time. That is, when a predetermined time has elapsed, the CPU 101 considers that the room temperature has risen to some extent, and performs control to increase the air volume. Note that the predetermined time is, for example, 5 minutes. Information indicating the time is stored in the flash memory 104 in advance as part of the control program.

  When time is used instead of temperature, it is necessary to change the processing shown in steps S14, 16, and 18 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 4 as follows. In step S <b> 14, the CPU 101 causes the timer 106 to start measuring time. In step S <b> 16, the CPU 101 acquires time information indicating the elapsed time from the timer 106. In step S18, the CPU 101 determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed based on the time information.

  By adopting such a configuration, the home controller 10 can reduce the power consumed in the room as compared with the case where the air volume of the air circulation device 60 is increased as soon as the blind 80 is opened, as in the case where control based on temperature is performed. Can be reduced.

  The home controller 10 also increases the air volume of the air circulation device 60 even when the blind 80 is manually opened.

  When the blind 80 is manually opened, the opening / closing device 20 detects that the blind 80 has been opened, and notifies the home controller 10 of the detection result. Further, even when the blind 80 is manually closed, the opening / closing device 20 detects that the blind 80 is closed and notifies the home controller 10 of the detection result. The home controller 10 performs control to increase the air volume of the air circulation device 60 when the blind 80 is manually opened.

  Further, when the blind 80 is manually or automatically closed, it is preferable for the home controller 10 to be configured so as to reduce the increased air volume for further reducing power consumption. .

  (4) In the above description, the configuration in which air is circulated in the room provided with the air circulation device 60 using the air circulation device 60 has been described as an example. However, the air circulation device 60 can be used for corridors and other rooms. Air may be circulated. Further, the control system 1 may be configured to circulate air in a room provided with the blind 80 and other rooms using a duct device as the air circulation device 60.

  (5) The control system 1 may be configured such that a heat pump is provided and the home controller 10 controls the operation of the heat pump. In this case, the home controller 10 performs control to lower the output of the heat pump when the blind 80 is opened. Moreover, the home controller 10 performs control to lower the output of the heat pump when the window 90 is in a state.

  The home controller 10 can reduce power consumption by executing such control on the heat pump.

  (6) In the above description, for convenience of explanation, the air volume of the air circulation device 60 has been described as “weak”, “medium”, and “strong”. However, the air volume of the air circulation device 60 is not limited to such three sections. The air circulation device 60 may be configured to be adjustable to four or more different air volumes.

  Further, the value of the air volume that is increased by the air circulation device 60 under the control of the home controller 10 and the value of the air volume that is decreased after the air volume is increased may not coincide with each other. For example, the home volume is controlled so that the air volume is increased by, for example, two steps based on the blind 80 being opened, and then the air volume is decreased by one stage based on the window 90 being opened. The controller 10 may be configured.
