Description

  The present invention relates to a setting input device that receives a setting operation related to various parameters such as temperature and wind speed from a user.

  The operations of the air conditioner and the heating device are controlled according to set values such as temperature and air volume set by the user. In addition, an air conditioner or the like can be started or stopped at a preset time.

  Usually, in an air conditioner or the like, settings related to operation time and settings related to control parameters during operation such as temperature and air volume are performed separately. As for the driving time, even if multiple types of settings such as a good morning timer and a rest timer are possible, there are many cases where only one type of setting such as temperature and air volume can be set.

  However, in an air conditioner, a heating device, etc., it is desired that the temperature, the air volume, etc. can be freely set for each time. For example, there is a need to heat a room to a slightly lower temperature before going to bed, but to keep it warm enough when getting up in the morning.

  The following Patent Document 1 discloses a temperature control device that controls the temperature in a house for cultivating agricultural crops, and can easily set a temperature for every 24 hours. Yes. In this temperature control device, coordinates with time (0-24 o'clock) on the horizontal axis and temperature on the vertical axis are displayed on the display unit of the operation panel, and the temperature characteristics stored in advance on the coordinates are displayed in a line graph. Is displayed. A vertical line time cursor is displayed at these coordinates, and the user can move the position of the time cursor left and right by operating a predetermined operation button. When the time is specified, a temperature cursor is displayed on the intersection of the time cursor and the line graph. The user can freely change the set temperature at the specified time by operating the temperature setting operation button to move the temperature cursor up and down.

JP 2009-268427 A

  In the temperature control device disclosed in Patent Document 1, the temperature at each time for 24 hours can be set and changed while looking at the line graph. To change the temperature at the desired time, first, the operation button is operated. After the time cursor has been moved to the desired time position, another operation button has to be operated to change the set temperature at that time, which is cumbersome. In addition, since only a change operation can be performed on the line graph registered in advance, it takes a lot of labor to set a temperature characteristic greatly different from this.

  The control parameters whose setting values are to be changed for each time are not limited to temperature / humidity, air volume, wind speed, and wind direction. For example, there is a request that the color temperature should be changed over and over so that the lighting of the room is turned on / off, the brightness, and the TV is seen as if the user is away from home. Furthermore, there is a demand for easily setting characteristics relating to two parameters (for example, temperature and air volume) that do not include time.

  The present invention is intended to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a setting input device that can easily perform complicated settings such as ON / OFF of the device and setting the temperature for each time. It is said.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a front view showing an example of a setting input device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The setting input device 10 is a house cultivation temperature / humidity controller (with ceiling opening and closing, with CO concentration monitoring), air conditioner, heating device (including electric or hot water type floor heating device, including livestock), lighting device (including aquarium tank display) ) And the like, which are provided with a function for setting the operating conditions of the apparatus, a so-called remote control and an operation panel.

  The setting input device 10 includes a display unit 11 configured by a liquid crystal display or the like, and has a touch screen 12 that performs a function of detecting a location touched with a finger or a pen on the screen of the display unit 11. ing.

  The setting input device 10 displays predetermined coordinates on the screen of the display unit 11. The user can set various parameters by drawing a graph on the displayed coordinates. For example, a set temperature at each time of the day can be set by drawing a line graph with a finger on coordinates where the horizontal axis parameter is time and the vertical axis parameter is temperature.

  In the setting input device 10 shown in FIG. 1, an operation button that is an operation button for switching operation / stop of the device, an item selection button for selecting a parameter to be set with a graph on coordinates, and a previous operation are displayed below the display unit 11. There are provided a return button for canceling, an OK button for confirming the setting, a cancel button for discarding the setting, and the like.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an electrical schematic configuration of the setting input device 10. The setting input device 10 includes a display controller 14, a control unit 15, a communication unit 16, and a memory 17. The display controller 14 is connected to the CPU 13 as a control unit that performs overall control of the operation of the setting input device 10. And a ROM (Read Only Memory) 18 or the like. When connected to a network, the CPU, memory 17, ROM (Read Only Memory) 18, etc. may be on the server side.

  The display unit 11 includes a display device such as a liquid crystal display. The display controller 14 gives various control signals and display data to the display unit 11 to control rewriting of the display contents. The CPU 13 creates screen data as actual display contents. The operation unit 15 is provided on the screen of the display unit 11, and includes a touch screen 12 that detects a position pressed by a finger or a pen, and various operation buttons as described above.

  The detection method of the touch screen 12 may be arbitrary, such as capacitance, analog / digital resistance film, infrared rays, ultrasonic waves, electromagnetic induction, or the like.

  The communication unit 16 fulfills a function of communicating with the device body to be controlled by wireless communication or wired communication. For example, information indicating the operating conditions set by the user's operation is transmitted to the apparatus main body.

  Various programs and data are stored in the ROM 18, and each function as the setting input device 10 is realized by the CPU 13 executing various processes according to these programs. The memory 17 is used as a work memory for temporarily storing various data when the CPU 13 executes a program and a memory for temporarily storing display data.

  Next, various setting operations received from the user by the setting input device 10 will be described.

  FIG. 3 shows an example in which the setting input device 10 is an air conditioner remote controller. In FIG. 3, only the display unit 11 is shown. On the screen of the display unit 11, coordinates 20 are assigned with time assigned as parameters on the horizontal axis and temperature and air volume parameters assigned on the vertical axis. When the user draws a line graph 21 with a finger on the coordinates 20 from left to right, the setting input device 10 recognizes the line graph 21 as a line graph indicating the relationship between time and temperature. On the other hand, when the user draws a line graph 22 with a finger from right to left, the setting input device 10 recognizes the line graph 22 as a line graph indicating the relationship between time and air volume.

  As described above, the temperature and the air volume at each time can be set only by drawing a line graph. Therefore, complicated settings in which the temperature and the air volume at each time are changed can be performed with a very simple operation. In addition, since the parameter to be set can be switched depending on the direction in which the line graph is drawn, the user does not need to select a parameter to be set with a separate switch or the like, and high operability is ensured.

  In FIG. 3, the time when the line graphs 21 and 22 are not drawn is set to turn off the air conditioner.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of a set of setting values that the setting input device 10 acquires from a line graph drawn on coordinates. As in the case of FIG. 3, coordinates are assigned time on the horizontal axis and temperature and air volume parameters on the vertical axis. In the example of FIG. 4, setting values (combinations of time, temperature, and air volume) corresponding to each point obtained by sampling the line graph on the coordinates at 10-minute intervals are acquired and listed. In this way, a set of setting values corresponding to each point on the line graph is acquired from each line graph. In FIG. 4, a location where the value of temperature or air volume is “−” is a setting for turning off the apparatus.

  FIG. 5 shows an example in which the setting input device 10 is a remote controller for a bathroom heater / dryer with a mist sauna function. A bathroom heater / dryer with a mist sauna function has a function of spraying mist (mist-like water) in the bathroom and a function of warming the bathroom with warm air. Here, the setting input device 10 can set the mist strength from the start of operation (0 minutes) to 30 minutes later and the temperature when warming with warm air in a line graph.

  For example, at first you want to take a bath while watching TV, so weaken the mist (because it becomes thick mist and you can't see the TV if you strengthen it), and after 15 minutes, gradually increase the mist and gradually raise the temperature, It is assumed that after 23 minutes, the user desires to make the mist strongest and the temperature sufficiently high so as to sweat a lot.

  The conventional remote control has a switch to set the strength of the mist and a switch to set the target temperature when warming with hot air, so that the user can change the strength and temperature of the mist himself or herself during bathing. ing. Therefore, when the user desires such a complicated setting, the user has to perform an operation for adjusting the strength and temperature of the mist from time to time.

  On the other hand, in the setting input device 10, on the coordinates 30 displayed on the display unit 11, the user displays a line graph 31 indicating the relationship between mist strength and time and a line graph 32 indicating the relationship between temperature and time. Just by handwriting with your finger, you can program the complicated settings. The setting input device 10 recognizes that the line graph drawn from left to right is a line graph 31 indicating the relationship between the strength of mist and time, and the line graph drawn from right to left represents temperature and temperature. It is recognized as a line graph 32 showing the relationship of time.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the line graphs 31 and 32 may be input in a straight line. In addition, the time zone in which the line graph 31 is not drawn is set to turn off the mist function, and the time zone in which the line graph 32 is not drawn is set to turn off the sending of hot air. As shown in FIG. 6, by intermittently drawing the line graphs 31 and 32, it is possible to set (program) intermittent operation that is turned ON / OFF a plurality of times.

  Next, an operation for correcting a line graph that has already been displayed will be described.

  There are several types of correction methods described below for correcting a line graph.

(1) Method of not designating fixed point As shown in FIG. 7, an arbitrary point 41 on the line graph 21 is touched with a finger, and the finger is moved while touching. As a result, the original line graph 21 is transformed into a line graph 21b so as to pass through the destination point 42. In this case, the original line graph 21 is deformed in the vicinity of the touched portion. In addition, the both ends of the line graph 21 continuing to the touched location may be fixed points, and the space between them may be smoothly deformed. A known appropriate function may be applied to the deformation.

(2) Method of designating one fixed point As shown in FIG. 8, an arbitrary point 43 on the line graph 21 is fixed without moving while touching with a finger, and on the line graph 21 with another finger. An arbitrary point 41 is touched, and this finger is moved while touching. As a result, the original line graph 21 is transformed into a line graph 21c so as to pass through the destination point 42 while the point 43 is fixed. The line graph 21 in the vicinity of the arbitrary point 41 and not exceeding the fixed point 43 is deformed. The fixed point 43 and the end of the line graph 21 on the point 41 side with respect to the fixed point 43 may be fixed points, and the line graph between them may be smoothly deformed so as to pass through the point 42.

  Note that either point 41 or point 43 may be touched first or at the same time. The one that starts moving after two points are touched is recognized as the moving side, and the other as the fixed point.

(3) Method of Designating Two Fixed Points As shown in FIG. 9, an arbitrary point 43 and point 44 on the line graph 21 are fixed without moving while touching with a finger, and the point 43 is fixed with another finger. An arbitrary point 41 on the line graph 21 between the point 44 and the point 44 is touched, and this finger is moved while touching. As a result, the portion between the point 43 and the point 44 in the original line graph 21 is deformed so as to pass through the destination point 42 while the two points of the point 43 and the point 44 are fixed. It becomes like 21d.

(4) Others When you set the eraser and trace the line graph with your finger, the line graph for that part is deleted. By drawing a new line graph on the erased portion, the line graph can be transformed.

  7 to 9, the point 42 is designated by moving the finger touching the point 41 while touching it, but the point 42 may be newly designated by another finger. For example, if a location that is not on the line graph 21 is touched with a finger, a user I / F (Interface) may be used that recognizes that location as the destination of the point 41 (point 42).

  FIG. 10 shows an example when a line graph is deformed by a method of designating one fixed point. An example in which the point 51 on the original line graph 50 is a fixed point, the point 52 is touched with a finger, and the finger is moved to the upper point 53 (temperature is increased from 20 to 25) is shown. Yes. By this operation, the original line graph 50 is transformed into a line graph 54 indicated by a broken line. The deformation is obtained by a weighted moving average.

  The deformed point 56 corresponding to the point 55 on the original line graph 50 is lowered despite the operation of increasing the temperature from the point 52 to the point 53. Therefore, the point 56 is corrected to adopt the value before the deformation. FIG. 11 is modified so that the deformed line graph 54 passes through the point 55. By adding such correction, the line graph can be appropriately deformed so as not to violate the correction intention of the user.

  Next, a case where the coordinate scale is corrected will be described.

  For example, it is assumed that the mist intensity and temperature change pattern (line graph) in 30 minutes of bathing are programmed as shown in FIG. However, on days when there is not enough time, there are cases in which bathing with the same change pattern as usual is desired to be performed in a shorter time. On the other hand, there may be a desire to take a bath with the same change pattern as usual over a longer period of time. In such a case, the change pattern (line graph) that has already been registered is called up and displayed, and the scale of the coordinate time axis is changed to change the same change pattern only in the progress of time. Can be set.

  12 and 13 show an example of changing the scale of the time axis. In the example of FIG. 12A, an operation is performed in which the finger touches the point near the 30-minute scale (point 61), moves the finger close to the 15-minute scale (point 62), and releases it. It has been broken. When this operation is received, the setting input device 10 changes the scale of the time axis so that the 30-minute scale comes to the position of the point 62 as shown in FIG. That is, the time axis is reduced to one half so that the 30-minute scale comes to the original 15-minute scale position and the 60-minute scale comes to the original 30-minute scale position. The setting input device 10 deforms the line graphs 31 and 32 in accordance with the change of the time axis scale.

  In the example of FIG. 13 (a), an operation is performed in which the finger touches a point near the 15-minute scale (point 63), moves the finger close to the 30-minute scale (point 64), and releases it. It has been broken. When this operation is received, the setting input device 10 changes the scale of the time axis so that the 15-minute scale comes to the position of the point 64 as shown in FIG. That is, the time axis is doubled so that the 15-minute scale comes to the original 30-minute scale position. Further, the setting input device 10 deforms the line graph in accordance with the change of the time axis scale.

  As described above, in the setting input device 10, when an arbitrary first point on the coordinate axis is touched and specified by the finger, the finger is touched and moved to an arbitrary second point on the axis. The axis scale is changed so that the distance between the origin of the coordinates and the first point corresponds to the distance between the origin and the second point, and the line graph on the coordinates is also deformed according to the change of the scale. The

  In FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, the corrected point is specified by moving the touched finger while touching it. However, the user I // F is also acceptable.

  FIG. 14 shows a flow of processing in which the setting input device 10 receives line graph input. First, the CPU 13 of the setting input device 10 displays predetermined coordinates on the screen of the display unit 11 (step S101). Here, the first axis (horizontal axis) is a time axis with time as a parameter, and the second axis (vertical axis) displays coordinates assigned with a second parameter (eg, temperature) and a third parameter (eg, air volume). Shall.

  In a state where the coordinates are displayed, the setting input device 10 waits for a line graph to be handwritten with a finger on the coordinates (Step S102; No). If the line graph is handwritten (step S102; Yes), it is determined whether the line graph is drawn from right to left or from left to right (step S103). When drawn to the right (step S103; Yes), the line graph is recognized as a line graph related to the second parameter (step S104), and the process proceeds to step S106. When drawn to the left (step S103; No), the line graph is recognized as a line graph relating to the third parameter (step S105), and the process proceeds to step S106.

  When an operation indicating that the input of the line graph is completed (for example, the operation of the OK button in FIG. 1) is received (step S106; Yes), the setting value for each time is taken from each line graph (step S107). For example, if the sampling period to be captured is set to 10 minutes, a list of set values as shown in FIG. 4 is created. The period for fetching the set value is not limited to 10 minutes and may be arbitrary.

  Thereafter, the set value acquired in step S107 is transmitted to the device main body to be controlled (step S108), and this process ends (end).

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the operation of the setting input device 10 when the line graph is corrected. Wait for a finger touch operation on any part of the line graph, and if a finger touch operation is received on the line graph (step S201; Yes), register the touch position (added for the second and subsequent points) Registration) (step S202), and the process proceeds to step S203. If a new touch operation is not received (step S201; No), the process proceeds to step S203.

  In step S203, it is determined whether or not the finger touching any touch position has moved while touching (step S203). When the touching finger is moved (step S203; Yes), it is determined how many places are touched (determined based on the number of registrations in step S202) (step S204).

  In the case of only one place (step S204; one place), as shown in FIG. 7, the line graph in the vicinity of the touched place is deformed so as to pass through the point to which the finger is moved (step S205), and step S209. Migrate to

  When there are two touch locations (step S204; two locations), the deformation shown in FIG. 8 is performed. In other words, a line graph from the fixed point to the moved touch position side is drawn so that the touch position of the finger whose touch position has not been moved is a fixed point and passes through the destination point of the moved finger. Deform (step S206), the process proceeds to step S209.

  When there are three touch locations (step S204; 3 locations), it is checked whether or not an intermediate touch location among the 3 locations has been moved (step S207). If the intermediate touch position has not been moved (step S207; No), the operation is incorrect. For example, an error sound or an error message is displayed, and the process ends (end).

  When the intermediate touch position is moved (step S207; Yes), as shown in FIG. 9, the line graph between the two fixed points is deformed so as to pass through the destination point (step S208). ), The process proceeds to step S209.

  In step S209, a set value for each time is taken from the transformed line graph. Then, the corrected set value is transmitted to the device main body to be controlled (step S210), and this process ends (end).

  Before the touch position of any finger is moved (step S203; No), if the finger is released (step S211; Yes), it is determined that the operation is not a correction operation, and the process is terminated (end). If the finger is not released (step S211; No), the process returns to step S201 and continues.

  Next, a case where the setting input device 10 performs settings related to other control objects will be described.

  FIG. 16 shows an example of a screen of the setting input device 10 that controls illumination. The setting input device 10 displays on the display unit 11 coordinates 70 with the horizontal axis representing time (from 0 o'clock to 24 o'clock) and the vertical axis representing illuminance and ON / OFF. The area above the reference line 71 along the horizontal axis is an ON area 72 where the illumination is set to ON, and the area below the reference line 71 is an OFF area 73 where the illumination is set to OFF. In the ON region 72, the illuminance is set stronger (brighter) as the line graph 74 is drawn upward.

  The setting input device 10 can set ON / OFF of illumination and intensity (bright / dark) of illumination at each time of 24 hours by drawing one line graph on the coordinates.

  FIG. 17 shows another example of the screen of the setting input device 10 that controls illumination. The setting input device 10 displays coordinates 76 on the display unit 11 with the horizontal axis representing time (from 0 o'clock to 24 o'clock) and the vertical axis representing illuminance. During the time period when the line graph 77 is not drawn, the illumination is turned off. Although FIG. 17 shows an example in which a straight line graph 77 is drawn, the line graph may be a curve.

  FIG. 18A shows an example in which lighting of a plurality of rooms is controlled by a single setting input device 10. The coordinates 76 are the same as those in FIG. The line graph 78a shows the setting contents regarding the lighting of the first room, and the line graph 78b shows the setting contents regarding the lighting of the second room.

  By controlling the brightness and ON / OFF of a plurality of lighting devices for each time, it is possible to make it appear as if a person is present during absence. Note that lighting ON / OFF and brightness at each time during normal stay may be stored, the line graph may be displayed by default, and a correction operation may be received from the user.

  FIG. 18B shows an example in which the set temperatures of the air conditioners in a plurality of rooms are controlled by a single setting input device 10. The setting input device 10 displays on the display unit 11 coordinates 80 with the horizontal axis representing time (from 0 o'clock to 24 o'clock) and the vertical axis representing temperature. The line graph 81a shows the setting contents related to the air conditioner in the first room, and the line graph 81b shows the setting contents related to the air conditioner in the second room.

  In FIGS. 18A and 18B, the time zone in which no line graph is drawn is set to turn off the operation of a device to be controlled such as lighting or an air conditioner.

  FIG. 19 shows an example of the setting input device 10 capable of setting air conditioning and lighting. The air-conditioning coordinates 80 similar to those shown in FIG. 18B are displayed on the illumination coordinates 76 similar to that shown in FIG. Here, when the operation details for one day related to air conditioning and lighting are set in a line graph, the energy consumption when the air conditioning and lighting are operated according to the setting is calculated, and the amount of energy consumption and the corresponding utility cost are calculated. It is displayed in the energy display field 83.

  When the line graph is corrected, the energy consumption amount and the utility cost value displayed in the energy display column 83 are updated in real time. As a result, the user can easily set and correct while viewing the screen so as to achieve the target energy consumption and utility cost. In the example of FIG. 19, the case of setting for lighting and air conditioning is illustrated, but the amount of energy consumption and utility cost are calculated for all devices in the target area such as bath / hot water, TV and PC ON / OFF. It may be configured to display.

  Next, a case where a bar graph (or a symbol corresponding thereto) is displayed instead of the line graph will be described.

  FIG. 20 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 11 when the setting input device 10 performs settings related to floor heating operation in one day.

  The coordinates 90 are obtained by making the time axis 91, which is the first axis, annulus, and one cycle is one cycle (one day, 24 hours). There is a second axis 92 from the annular time axis 91 to the inside and outside of the ring. However, the second axis is not displayed on the screen. Here, a parameter indicating the strength of driving is assigned to the second axis. The value of the parameter assigned to the second axis is “0” (operation OFF) on the annular time axis 91, and the value increases toward the outside of the ring perpendicular to the ring tangent of the time axis 91. Become bigger (strong driving). The current time is displayed in the clock area 95 in the annular time axis 91.

  As shown in FIG. 20 (b), the user moves the finger touching the screen so as to draw a line graph surrounding the vicinity of the outside of the annular time axis 91 (in FIG. 20B, the arrow 93 indicates the movement of the finger). ) And a bar graph (here, a flame-like pattern) 94 of a length corresponding to the position of the finger (position in the second axis direction) when passing through that location at a sampling location every 2 hours. Is displayed. In the case of floor heating, since the change in room temperature occurs gently, the sampling interval is set to 2 hours.

  As the finger trajectory 93 passes farther from the annular time axis 91 at the sampling location, a longer bar graph 94 is displayed at the sampling location. When the locus 93 of the finger is not drawn at the sampling location, and when the locus 93 is on the annular time axis 91 (the position where the value in the second axis direction is “0”), further, within the time axis 91 ( Even if the value in the second axis direction is “minus”, the sampling location is set to OFF.

  FIG. 20C is a diagram obtained by deleting the finger locus 93 from FIG. 20B, and shows the contents of the screen actually displayed on the display unit 11. Thus, by drawing an annular line graph around the annular time axis 91 with a finger, the temperature every two hours can be set. Note that the sampling interval on display may be different from the sampling interval on control. For example, even if a bar graph 94 is displayed every two hours as shown in FIG. 20C, actually, a set value (set temperature) is acquired at an arbitrary interval such as an interval of 30 minutes corresponding to the locus 93. You may make it control.

  Next, a description will be given of correction during input while drawing a locus with a finger.

  As shown in FIG. 21, it is assumed that the locus 93 starts to be drawn with a finger from the 4 o'clock position, and the movement of the finger is temporarily stopped at the 6 o'clock position which is the sampling location. In this case, the setting input device 10 sequentially changes the length of the bar graph 94 displayed at the sampling location where the finger is stopped from the minimum to the maximum range while the movement of the finger is stopped. The user resumes the movement of the finger when the bar graph 94 reaches the desired length. When the movement of the finger is resumed, the setting input device 10 determines the length of the bar graph 94 displayed at the sampling location to the length immediately before the movement is resumed.

  In the figure, a gray bar graph has a fixed length, and a white bar graph with a broken edge indicates a state in which the length has changed. FIG. 21 illustrates a case where the movement of the finger is resumed when the length of the bar graph 94 reaches the maximum.

  In this way, by temporarily stopping the movement of the finger at the sampling location, the length of the bar graph 94 displayed at that location can be corrected. Therefore, when the finger is moved to the next sampling location, the movement destination Even if the position (position in the second axis direction) is wrong, it can be corrected and the length of the bar graph can be easily set to the length intended by the user.

  Next, an operation for correcting the length or the like of a bar graph that has already been displayed in the coordinates shown in FIG. 20 will be described.

  FIG. 22A shows the movement of the finger in the correction operation. The user touches the point P1 on the bar graph 94a displayed at the 6 o'clock position with the other finger by touching and fixing the bar graph 96 at the 10 o'clock sampling position to the point F near the upper end thereof. Then, the touching operation is performed by moving the finger toward the center Q of the annular time axis 91 (point P2), and then moving the finger from the point P2 to the point P3 and releasing the finger.

  In this correction operation, the user moves the finger from the point P2 to the point P3 (in the direction of the angle θ ′ in the figure), but the time axis 91 has an annular shape. On the time axis 91, the movement is an angle θ in the figure.

  FIG. 22B shows how the bar graph display changes in accordance with the correction operation shown in FIG. The movement of the finger from the point P1 to the point P2 in FIG. 22A is an instruction to shorten the length of the bar graph 94a at the 6 o'clock sampling location. The movement from the point P2 to the point P3 is an instruction to move the position of the bar graph 94a on the time axis 91 clockwise by an angle θ.

  When the above operation is received with the finger of point F fixed, the setting input device 10 moves the length of the bar graph 94a at the position of the point P1 on the second axis from the point P1 to the point P2. Change according to the amount (short here). Further, the position of the bar graph 94a that was at the position of the point P1 is moved to the position of the point P3 on the time axis 91. As a result, the bar graph 94a originally located at the 6 o'clock sampling location is changed to the bar graph 94a ′ in FIG.

  Further, an area between the bar graph 94a before the change in position and length and the fixed point F (bar graph 96) on the time axis 91 is changed between the bar graph 94a 'and the fixed point F after the change in position and length. By mapping to a position on the time axis 91, the positions and lengths of all the bar graphs on the time axis 91 between the bar graph 94a and the fixed point F before changing the position and length are displayed. change.

  In the example of FIG. 22, the length and position on the time axis 91 of the bar graph 94b at the 8 o'clock sampling location are corrected and changed to a bar graph 94b ′.

  Note that the movement of the finger from the point P1 to the point P3 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 22B, and the movement in the length direction (second axis direction) of the bar graph after the movement on the time axis 91 is performed. Or a linear movement combining these (a linear movement from point P1 to point P3), or a finger moving from point P1 to point P3 while drawing an arbitrary curve It does not matter even if it is movement.

  23, after moving the point P1 on the time axis 91 to the same point P4 as the point P3 in FIG. 22B, the position of the bar graph in the length direction (on the second axis) is as shown in FIG. It shows how the finger moves when moved to the same point P5 as the point P2.

  In this case, the user moves the finger from the point P1 to the point P4 (in the direction of the angle θ ″ in the figure), but the movement of the finger is on the time axis 91 at the angle θ in the figure. It has been moved. The result of performing the above correction operation is the same as that shown in FIG.

  In the correction operations shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, an example in which the fixed point F is specified is shown. However, there is a correction operation method in which the fixed point F is not specified. For example, in FIG. 22, when the fixed point F is not designated and the point P1 is touched with a finger and then the finger is moved to the point P2 and the point P3, only the bar graph 94a is displayed as the bar graph 94a ′. What is necessary is just to change a position and length so that it may become. That is, the position of the bar graph may be changed to the position on the time axis of the finger movement destination, and the length of the bar graph may be changed according to the position of the finger movement destination on the second axis.

  In addition, in the coordinates having the annular first axis and the radial second axis as shown in FIG. 22 and the like, the corrections shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 and the scales as shown in FIGS. The modifications can be applied as well.

  As described above, in the setting input device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, one or a plurality of parameters (2) given to the axis of the coordinate by inputting the graph by handwriting on the coordinate displayed on the display unit 11. In the case of more than an axis, a complicated setting can be easily made for a combination of parameters given to each axis.

  In addition, since the graph can be corrected and the scale can be corrected, the setting contents indicated by the already drawn graph can be easily corrected.

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to that shown in the embodiment, and there are changes and additions within the scope of the present invention. Are also included in the present invention.

  In the embodiment, the case where the setting input device 10 is controlled by an air conditioner, a bathroom heater / dryer with a mist sauna function, or the like has been described as an example. However, the control target is not limited thereto. For example, set the bath operation time, hot water temperature, water level, etc. for the bath water heater, or set the operation time and the amount of feed to be fed to the feeding device that automatically feeds the pet, Alternatively, the present invention can also be applied to a case where a watering device that automatically supplies water to a plant is set as a control target, and the operation time and the amount of water to be set are set.

  In the embodiment, an example of coordinates having the first axis and the second axis has been described, but coordinates having only the first axis may be used. For example, when controlling only ON / OFF, the first axis is the time axis, the part traced with the finger on the axis is set to ON, and the part not traced is set to OFF. It may be a thing.

  In the embodiment, an example in which the first axis is a time axis is shown, but the time axis is not essential. For example, the characteristics of temperature versus air volume may be set by hand-drawing a line graph at coordinates where the temperature is the first axis and the air volume is the second axis. For example, if the relationship between temperature and air volume is set with the first coordinate and the relationship between time and temperature is set with the second coordinate, the air conditioner ON / OFF and temperature are controlled according to the second coordinate. When operating, the air volume can be controlled according to the first coordinates.

  In the embodiment, the case where one or two line graphs are drawn on one coordinate is illustrated, but three or more line graphs may be drawn on the coordinate.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment, an example in which a line graph or the trajectory 93 in FIG. 20B is input as a continuous finger trajectory has been described. However, a line graph or the like may be input at a plurality of discrete points. Good. For example, in FIG. 5, if the sampling interval for acquiring the set value from the line graph is 5 minutes, the temperature at each sampling location may be designated and input by a point. In this case, the sampling location where no point is input may be set to OFF.

  In FIG. 20, the user I / F that displays the bar graph 94 at the sampling locations every two hours by inputting the continuous locus 93 by handwriting is shown, but the length of the bar graph is specified for each sampling location. May be used as a user I / F for designating the length of the bar graph at that location. In this case, it is only necessary to recognize that a sampling location where no point is input or a sampling location where a point is marked on the time axis is set to OFF.

  In the embodiment, an example in which a line graph is input by handwriting has been described. However, the bar graph 94 may be input by hand at each sampling location in FIG.

  In the embodiment, an example in which the time axis is set to 24 hours has been described, but it may be one week or the like, and a range in which values to be assigned to the time axis and other axes can be set appropriately.

  In the embodiment, an example of inputting with a finger is shown, but input with a pen may be used, for example.
