Is adjusted, so the bed temperature can be automatically adjusted to a temperature suitable for sleep by bedtime.

The indoor air-conditioning unit has a first outlet and a second outlet, and in the first coordinated control, the wind direction of at least one of the first and second outlets is controlled toward the bed. You may try to do it.

With such a configuration, since the wind direction of one of the first and second outlets of the indoor air-conditioning unit is controlled toward the bed, the air whose temperature is adjusted from one of the outlets is efficiently applied to the air-conditioning unit in the bed. It can be supplied well, and the temperature-controlled air can be efficiently supplied to the room from the other outlet. When controlling the wind direction of one of the first and second outlets of the indoor air-conditioning unit toward the bed, it is desirable to control the wind direction toward the air intake port of the air-conditioning unit inside the bed.

Further, in the second coordinated control, the air conditioning control method is a ratio between the bed direction and the direction other than the bed direction in the wind direction of the indoor air conditioning unit according to the ratio between the temperature difference in the bed and the temperature difference in the room. May include setting.

With such a configuration, the ratio between the bed direction and the direction other than the bed direction in the wind direction of the indoor air-conditioning unit is set according to the ratio between the temperature difference in the bed and the temperature difference in the room. While air-conditioning the whole, it is possible to preferentially air-condition the inside of the bed and the room where the degree of discomfort is high. Therefore, when only one of the bed and the room is air-conditioned, it is possible to prevent the other from falling into an unpleasant state.

Further, the present disclosure can be realized not only as an air conditioning control method that executes the above-mentioned characteristic processing, but also an air conditioning control having a characteristic configuration corresponding to the characteristic processing executed by the air conditioning control method. It can also be realized as a system. Therefore, the same effect as the above-mentioned air conditioning control method can be obtained in the following other aspects as well.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a configuration of an air conditioning control system according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. The air conditioning control system shown in FIG. 1 includes an in-bed environment measurement unit 101, an in-bed air conditioning unit 102, an indoor air conditioning unit 103, an indoor environment measurement unit 104, an air conditioning control unit 105, and a storage unit 110.

As shown in FIG. 1, for example, a bed B1 is installed in a room where the user HB sleeps, a bedding B2 is laid on the bed B1, and a hanging bedding B3 is laid on the bed B1. The user HB sleeps using the bedding B2 and the bedding B3.

In the air conditioning control system of the present embodiment, the room in which the user HB sleeps is divided into two spaces and the state of the environment is measured. The first space is the space in the bed S1 which is the space between the bedding B3 and the bedding B2, and the other space is the indoor space S2 of the entire room excluding the space S1 in the bed.

The in-bed environment measurement unit 101 is composed of a temperature sensor or the like, and is attached to a predetermined position in the bedding B2, for example, near the upper body of the user HB. The sleeping environment measurement unit 101 measures the temperature of the sleeping space S1 (the temperature inside the sleeping bed), and outputs the temperature of the sleeping space S1 to the air conditioning control unit 105.

The indoor environment measuring unit 104 is composed of a temperature sensor or the like, and is attached to a predetermined position in the indoor space S2, for example, an intermediate position in the indoor space S2. The indoor environment measuring unit 104 measures the temperature (indoor temperature) of the indoor space S2 and outputs the temperature of the indoor space S2 to the air conditioning control unit 105.

The configuration of the in-bed environment measurement unit 101 is not particularly limited to the above example, and may be installed not only in the bedding B2 but also in the bedding B3 or in the bed B1, and not only one. A plurality of them may be installed. Further, the configuration of the indoor environment measuring unit 104 is not particularly limited to the above example, and may be provided inside the indoor air conditioning unit 103 or may be provided near the bedside of the bed B1.

The indoor air-conditioning unit 103 is composed of, for example, an air conditioner or the like, and is attached above one wall forming the indoor space S2. The indoor air-conditioning unit 103 can perform a cooling operation, a heating operation, and a dehumidifying operation, and adjusts the temperature of the indoor space S2 according to an operating state, a set temperature, and the like. Further, the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 is provided with an outlet (louver) 103a, and the wind direction can be changed.

The in-bed air-conditioning unit 102 is, for example, built in the bedding B2 and is composed of an in-bed ventilation device that ventilates the in-bed space S1 by using the air in the indoor space S2. Adjust the temperature of S1. For example, the bed air-conditioning unit 102 cools the bed space S1 filled with hot air by taking in the air near the bedding B2, whose temperature is adjusted by the indoor air-conditioning unit 103, into the bed space S1. Adjust the temperature.

FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the configuration of the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the in-bed air conditioning unit 102 includes ventilation units 111 and 113, and air flow passages 112 and 114.

The ventilation unit 111 is fixed to the head side of the bedding B2 in a state of communicating with the indoor space S2 and the air flow passage 112. The air flow passage 112 has a plurality of air ports communicating with the bed space S1. Similarly, the ventilation unit 113 is fixed to the foot side of the bedding B2 in a state of communicating with the indoor space S2 and the air flow passage 114. The air flow passage 114 has a plurality of air ports communicating with the bed space S1. The ventilation units 111 and 113 are configured to be capable of intake and exhaust by the rotation of an internal fan, and ventilate the space S1 in the bed.

For example, when the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed is used in the summer, the ventilation unit 111 functions as an air suction port and sucks the air in the indoor space S2 and causes it to flow into the space S1 in the bed through the air flow passage 112. , Air is circulated along the direction of the arrow in FIG. The ventilation unit 113 functions as an air exhaust port, sucks the air in the bed space S1 from the air port of the air flow passage 114, and passes the air passing through the air flow passage 114 into the room along the direction of the arrow in FIG. Discharge to space S2. In this case, since the air cooled by the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 flows from the head side to the foot side of the bed space S1, the bed space S1 can be put into a head cold foot heat state.

Further, when the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed is used in winter, the ventilation unit 113 functions as an air suction port and sucks the air in the indoor space S2 and causes it to flow into the space S1 in the bed through the air flow passage 114. , Air is circulated along the direction opposite to the arrow in FIG. The ventilation unit 111 functions as an air exhaust port, sucks the air in the bed space S1 from the air port of the air flow passage 112, and takes the air that has passed through the air flow passage 112 along the direction opposite to the arrow in FIG. Discharge to the indoor space S2. Also in this case, since the air warmed by the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 flows from the foot side to the head side of the bed space S1, the bed space S1 can be put into a head cold foot heat state.

The configuration of the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed is not particularly limited to the above example, and various changes can be made, such as using one or three or more ventilation units or adding a superheater such as a heater. You may. Further, the number and positions of the air ports of the air flow passages 112 and 114 can be changed in various ways, such as a configuration in which air does not directly flow into or is sucked into the bed space S1.

Again, referring to FIG. 1, the air conditioning control unit 105 uses a wired or wireless network, infrared rays, or the like to measure the in-bed environment measuring unit 101, the in-bed air conditioning unit 102, the indoor air conditioning unit 103, and the indoor environment. It is communicably connected to the unit 104 and the storage unit 110.

The air-conditioning control unit 105 controls the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 and the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed based on the temperature inside the bed measured by the environment measurement unit 101 in the bed and the indoor temperature measured by the indoor environment measurement unit 104. Is determined, and the determined control content is instructed to the indoor air conditioning unit 103 and the bed air conditioning unit 102.

The storage unit 110 is composed of a memory such as an external storage device, and stores the target bed temperature and the target room temperature in advance. The storage unit 110 outputs the target bed temperature and the target room temperature to the air conditioning control unit 105.

Various values can be used as the target bed temperature and the target room temperature. For example, a user may store a favorite value in the storage unit 110, or a manufacturer of an air conditioning control system or the like may set a preferable value in the storage unit 110 in advance. Further, the configuration of the storage unit 110 is not particularly limited to the above example. For example, various changes can be made such as providing a memory inside the air conditioning control unit 105 and using this memory as the storage unit 110.

The air conditioning control unit 105 is composed of a processor or the like and executes a predetermined program stored in an internal memory or the like. The same applies to other embodiments described later in this regard.

The air conditioning control unit 105 acquires the temperature inside the bed from the environment measurement unit 101 inside the bed, acquires the room temperature from the indoor environment measurement unit 104, and based on the acquired temperature inside the bed and the acquired room temperature, The operation of the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed and the wind direction of the indoor air conditioning unit 103 are controlled.

Specifically, the air conditioning control unit 105 acquires the target in-bed temperature and the target room temperature from the storage unit 110, and the in-bed temperature measured by the in-bed environment measurement unit 101 and the target in-bed space S1. The temperature difference in the bed, which is the difference from the temperature, is calculated, and the indoor temperature difference, which is the difference between the indoor temperature measured by the indoor environment measuring unit 104 and the target indoor temperature of the indoor space S2 for each season, is calculated. ..

The air conditioning control unit 105 compares the temperature difference in the bed with the temperature difference in the room, and when the temperature difference in the bed is larger than the temperature difference in the room, operates the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed to adjust the temperature in the bed. At this time, the air-conditioning control unit 105 operates the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 and changes the wind direction of the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 downward by changing the outlet 103a downward, so that cold air or hot air from the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 is discharged. Make it easier to reach the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed. In this case, the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed takes in the air near the bedding B2 into the space S1 in the bed to cool the space S1 in the bed filled with hot air or warm the cold space S1 in the bed. be able to.

Further, when the temperature difference in the bed is not larger than the indoor temperature difference, the air conditioning control unit 105 stops the operation of the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed, operates the indoor air conditioning unit 103, and changes the outlet 103a upward. The wind direction of the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 is changed upward, and the adjustment of the indoor temperature is prioritized. After that, when the temperature difference in the bed becomes larger than the temperature difference in the room, the air conditioning control unit 105 operates the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed as described above, and changes the outlet 103a downward to cause the room air conditioning unit 103. Priority is given to adjusting the temperature inside the bed by changing the wind direction downward to operate.

In this way, when operating the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed, the wind direction of the air-conditioning unit 103 in the room is controlled toward the bed (direction in which the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed is located), so that the temperature of the indoor space S2 is adjusted. Air can be efficiently supplied to the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed, and effective air-conditioning in the bed can be realized in a shorter time. When controlling the wind direction of the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 toward the bed, it is desirable to control the wind direction toward the air suction port of the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed.

For example, the temperature suitable for sleeping in the bed space S1 is around 33 ° C, and the temperature suitable for sleeping in the indoor space S2 is 25 to 28 ° C in summer and 16 to 20 ° C in winter. (From "Sleep Reader for Business Persons" by Shuichiro Shirakawa).

In the present embodiment, for example, 33 ° C. is used as the target temperature (target indoor temperature) of the sleeping space S1 and the above average value is taken as the target temperature (target indoor temperature) of the indoor space S2. 26.5 ° C. is used, 18 ° C. is used in winter, and the air conditioning control unit 105 stores these temperatures in advance.

For example, assuming summer, when the indoor air conditioning unit 103 is operating, the indoor temperature is 27 ° C, the bed air conditioning unit 102 is not operating, and the bed temperature is 35 ° C, the indoor temperature difference. Is 0.5 ° C, and the temperature difference in the bed is 2 ° C. In this case, since the temperature difference in the bed (2 ° C) is larger than the temperature difference in the room (0.5 ° C), the air conditioning control unit 105 operates the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed and changes the outlet 103a downward. The wind direction of the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 is changed downward so that the cold air from the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 can easily reach the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed.

The target bed temperature and the target room temperature are not particularly limited to the above example, and can be changed in various ways. For example, the temperature suitable for each season should be appropriately set to reflect the user's preference. You may do it.

Further, the air conditioner control unit 105 is only when the indoor temperature measured by the indoor environment measurement unit 104 is closer to the target bed temperature than the bed temperature measured by the bed environment measurement unit 101. May be operated to adjust the temperature inside the bed. In this case, the in-bed air conditioner 102 takes in the air near the bedding B2, which is close to the target in-bed temperature, into the in-bed space S1 to bring the temperature of the in-bed space S1 closer to the target in-bed temperature in a shorter time. be able to.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the temperature inside the bed and the room temperature are measured, the temperature difference inside the bed, which is the difference between the measured temperature inside the bed and the target temperature inside the bed, and the measured room temperature and the target room. When the indoor temperature difference, which is the difference from the temperature, is calculated and the indoor temperature difference is larger than the indoor temperature difference, the temperature difference in the bed is large because the air conditioner 102 in the bed is operated to adjust the temperature in the bed. The temperature inside the bed can be adjusted by giving priority to the space S1 in the bed, effective air conditioning in the bed can be realized in a shorter time, and power consumption can be suppressed.

In the present embodiment, the air conditioning control unit 105 is configured separately from the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed and the indoor air conditioning unit 103, but the present invention is not particularly limited to this example, and the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed or the indoor air conditioning unit 102 or the indoor air conditioning unit 103. Various changes can be made, such as incorporating the air conditioning control unit 105 in the unit 103.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed is operated, the air-conditioning unit 103 is operated with the wind direction facing downward, but the present invention is not particularly limited to this example, and the indoor temperature difference is small. In such a case, various changes such as stopping the operation of the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 can be made.

Further, the control methods of the air conditioning control unit 105 can be arbitrarily combined. For example, when the room temperature is closer to the target bed temperature than the bed temperature and the bed temperature difference is larger than the room temperature difference. The temperature inside the bed may be adjusted by operating the air conditioner 102 inside the bed. The same applies to other embodiments described later with respect to these points.

(Embodiment 2)

You may act on your behalf. In this embodiment, an air conditioning control system using a server connected via a network will be described.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the air conditioning control system according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure. The air conditioning control system shown in FIG. 3 includes an in-bed environment measurement unit 101N, an in-bed air conditioning unit 102N, an indoor air conditioning unit 103N, an indoor environment measurement unit 104N, a storage unit 110N, and a server 105N. Note that FIG. 3 illustrates an example in which one in-bed environment measurement unit 101N or the like is connected to the server 105N via the network 106, but the present invention is not particularly limited to this example, and the inside of a plurality of beds is not particularly limited. The environment measurement unit 101N or the like may be connected to a network so that the server 105N controls these devices.

The in-bed environment measurement unit 101N, the in-bed air-conditioning unit 102N, the indoor air-conditioning unit 103N, the indoor environment measurement unit 104N, the storage unit 110N, and the server 105N are the in-bed environment measurement unit 101, the in-bed air conditioning unit 102, shown in FIG. It is configured in the same manner as the indoor air conditioning unit 103, the indoor environment measuring unit 104, the storage unit 110, and the air conditioning control unit 105, and has a communication unit (not shown) for connecting to a network inside.

The bed environment measurement unit 101N, the bed air conditioning unit 102N, the indoor air conditioning unit 103N, the indoor environment measurement unit 104N, and the storage unit 110N are communicably connected to the server 105N via the network 106 using the internal communication unit. Has been done. The configuration of the communication unit is not particularly limited to the above example, and the bed environment measurement unit 101N, the bed air conditioning unit 102N, the indoor air conditioning unit 103N, the indoor environment measurement unit 104N, and the storage unit 110N are used as a broadband router or the like. Various changes such as connecting to the network 106 via the communication device of the above are possible.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the air conditioning process in the bed of the server 105N shown in FIG.

First, the server 105N requests the bed environment measurement unit 101N to measure the bed temperature via the network 106, receives the bed temperature transmitted from the bed environment measurement unit 101N, and receives the bed temperature transmitted from the storage unit 110N. The target bed temperature is received (step S11).

Next, the server 105N requests the indoor environment measurement unit 104N to measure the indoor temperature via the network 106, receives the indoor temperature transmitted from the indoor environment measurement unit 104N, and receives the indoor temperature transmitted from the indoor environment measurement unit 104N, and also receives the indoor temperature transmitted from the storage unit 110N to the target indoor temperature. Is received (step S12).

Next, the server 105N calculates the temperature difference in the bed, which is the difference between the temperature in the bed measured by the environment measurement unit 101N in the bed and the target temperature in the bed in the space S1 in the bed (step S13).

Next, the server 105N calculates the indoor temperature difference, which is the difference between the indoor temperature measured by the indoor environment measuring unit 104N and the target indoor temperature of the indoor space S2 for each season (step S14).

Next, the server 105N compares the temperature difference in the bed with the temperature difference in the room, and determines whether or not the temperature difference in the bed is larger than the temperature difference in the room (step S15).

When the temperature difference in the bed is larger than the indoor temperature difference (YES in step S15), the server 105N operates the air-conditioning unit 102N in the bed to adjust the temperature in the bed, and also operates the indoor air-conditioning unit 103N and operates the indoor air-conditioning unit 103N. A control command for changing the wind direction of the air-conditioning unit 103N downward is transmitted to the bed-in-bed air-conditioning unit 102N and the indoor air-conditioning unit 103N, and the priority operation of the bed-in-bed air-conditioning unit 102N is executed (step S16). After that, the process returns to step S11 and the subsequent measures are repeated.

On the other hand, when the temperature difference in the bed is not larger than the temperature difference in the room (NO in step S15), the server 105N stops the operation of the air conditioning unit 102N in the bed, operates the indoor air conditioning unit 103N, and operates the indoor air conditioning unit 103N. A control command for changing the wind direction upward is transmitted to the indoor air-conditioning unit 102N and the indoor air-conditioning unit 103N, and the priority operation of the indoor air-conditioning unit 103N is executed (step S17). After that, the process returns to step S11 and the subsequent measures are repeated.

By the above processing, also in the present embodiment, the temperature difference in the bed, which is the difference between the temperature in the bed and the target temperature in the bed, and the room temperature difference, which is the difference between the room temperature and the predetermined target room temperature, are calculated. When the temperature difference in the bed is larger than the temperature difference in the room, the air conditioner 102N in the bed is operated to adjust the temperature in the bed. It can be adjusted, and effective in-bed air conditioning can be realized in a shorter time.

In the present embodiment, an example in which the server 105N is used instead of the air conditioning control unit 105 of the first embodiment has been described, but the present invention is not particularly limited to this example, and instead of other air conditioning control units described later, A server may be used, and the same effect can be obtained.

(Embodiment 3)
In the above-described first embodiment, the in-bed air-conditioning unit 102 and the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 are controlled based on the in-bed temperature and the room temperature, but in the present embodiment, in addition to the in-bed temperature and the room temperature, the bed An air conditioning control system that controls the air conditioning unit in the bed and the indoor air conditioning unit based on the internal humidity and the indoor humidity will be described.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the air conditioning control system according to the third embodiment of the present disclosure. The air conditioning control system shown in FIG. 5 includes an in-bed environment measurement unit 201, an in-bed air conditioning unit 102, an indoor air conditioning unit 203, an indoor environment measurement unit 204, an air conditioning control unit 205, and a storage unit 210. In FIG. 5, the same parts as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The in-bed environment measurement unit 201 is composed of a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and the like, and is attached to a predetermined position in the bedding B2, for example, near the upper body of the user HB. The sleeping environment measurement unit 201 measures the temperature (bed temperature) and humidity (bed humidity) of the sleeping space S1 and outputs the temperature and humidity of the sleeping space S1 to the air conditioning control unit 205.

The indoor environment measuring unit 204 is composed of a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and the like, and is attached to a predetermined position in the indoor space S2, for example, an intermediate position in the indoor space S2. The indoor environment measuring unit 204 measures the temperature (indoor temperature) and humidity (indoor humidity) of the indoor space S2, and outputs the temperature and humidity of the indoor space S2 to the air conditioning control unit 205.

The configuration of the in-bed environment measurement unit 201 is not particularly limited to the above example, and may be installed not only in the bedding B2 but also in the bedding B3 or in the bed B1, and not only one. A plurality of them may be installed. Further, the configuration of the indoor environment measuring unit 204 is not particularly limited to the above example, and may be provided inside the indoor air conditioning unit 203 or may be provided near the bedside of the bed B1.

The indoor air-conditioning unit 203 is composed of, for example, an air conditioner or the like, and is attached above one wall forming the indoor space S2. The indoor air-conditioning unit 203 can perform cooling operation, heating operation, and dehumidifying operation, and adjusts the temperature and humidity of the indoor space S2 according to the operating state, the set temperature, and the like. Further, the indoor air conditioning unit 203 is provided with an outlet (louver) 203a, and the wind direction can be changed.

The in-bed air-conditioning unit 102 is configured in the same manner as the in-bed air-conditioning unit 102 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

The air conditioning control unit 205 communicates with the bed environment measurement unit 201, the bed air conditioning unit 102, the indoor air conditioning unit 203, the indoor environment measurement unit 204, and the storage unit 210 by using a wired or wireless network, infrared rays, or the like. It is connected as possible. The air conditioning control unit 205 has the indoor air conditioning unit 203 and the bed based on the temperature in the bed and the humidity in the bed measured by the environment measurement unit 201 in the bed and the indoor temperature and humidity measured by the indoor environment measurement unit 204. The control content of the internal air conditioning unit 102 is determined, and the determined control content is instructed to the indoor air conditioning unit 203 and the bed air conditioning unit 102.

The storage unit 210 is composed of a memory such as an external storage device, and stores the target comfort level in the bed and the target indoor comfort level in advance. The storage unit 210 outputs the target comfort level in the bed and the target indoor comfort level to the air conditioning control unit 205.

Various values can be used as the target in-bed comfort and the target indoor comfort. For example, a user may store a favorite value in the storage unit 210, or a manufacturer of an air conditioning control system or the like may set a preferable value in the storage unit 210 in advance. Further, the configuration of the storage unit 210 is not particularly limited to the above example. For example, various changes can be made such as providing a memory inside the air conditioning control unit 205 and using this memory as the storage unit 210.

The air-conditioning control unit 205 acquires the temperature in the bed and the humidity in the bed from the environment measurement unit 201 in the bed, acquires the indoor temperature and the humidity in the room from the indoor environment measurement unit 204, and obtains the target comfort in the bed and the target indoor comfort. Obtained from the storage unit 210. The air-conditioning control unit 205 calculates the in-bed comfort, which is an index of the in-bed comfort, using the in-bed temperature and the in-bed humidity, and is the difference between the in-bed comfort and the target in-bed comfort. Calculate the comfort level difference. The air-conditioning control unit 205 calculates the indoor comfort level, which is an index of the indoor comfort level, using the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity, and calculates the indoor comfort level difference, which is the difference between the indoor comfort level and the target indoor comfort level. The air conditioning control unit 205 controls the operation of the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed and the wind direction of the indoor air conditioning unit 203 based on the difference in the comfort level in the bed and the difference in the comfort level in the room.

Specifically, the air conditioning control unit 205 calculates the comfort level in the bed, which is an index of the comfort of the space S1 in the bed, using the temperature in the bed and the humidity in the bed measured by the environment measurement unit 201 in the bed. The difference in the comfort level in the bed, which is the difference between the calculated comfort level in the bed and the target comfort level in the bed space S1, is calculated. Further, the air conditioning control unit 205 calculates the indoor comfort level, which is an index of the comfort level of the indoor space S2, using the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity measured by the indoor environment measurement unit 204, and the calculated indoor comfort level and the season. The difference in indoor comfort, which is the difference from the target indoor comfort in each indoor space S2, is calculated.

The air-conditioning control unit 205 compares the difference in comfort in the bed with the difference in comfort in the room, and when the difference in comfort in the bed is larger than the difference in comfort in the room, operates the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed to adjust the temperature in the bed. .. At this time, the air-conditioning control unit 205 operates the indoor air-conditioning unit 203 and changes the wind direction of the indoor air-conditioning unit 203 downward by changing the outlet 203a downward, so that cold air or hot air from the indoor air-conditioning unit 203 is discharged. Make it easier to reach the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed. In this case, the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed takes in the air near the bedding B2 into the space S1 in the bed to cool the space S1 in the bed filled with hot air or warm the cold space S1 in the bed. be able to.

Further, when the difference in comfort level in the bed is not larger than the difference in comfort level in the bed, the air conditioning control unit 205 stops the operation of the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed, operates the indoor air conditioning unit 203, and changes the outlet 203a upward. By doing so, the wind direction of the indoor air conditioning unit 203 is changed upward, and the adjustment of the indoor temperature is prioritized. After that, when the difference in the comfort level in the bed becomes larger than the difference in the comfort level in the room, the air conditioning control unit 205 operates the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed and changes the outlet 203a downward to the indoor air conditioning unit 205 as described above. The wind direction of 203 is changed downward to operate, and the adjustment of the temperature inside the bed and the humidity inside the bed is prioritized.

In this way, when operating the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed, the wind direction of the air-conditioning unit 203 in the room is controlled toward the bed (the direction in which the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed is located), so that the temperature and humidity of the room are adjusted. Air can be efficiently supplied to the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed, and effective air-conditioning in the bed can be realized in a shorter time. When controlling the wind direction of the indoor air-conditioning unit 203 toward the bed, it is desirable to control the wind direction toward the air suction port of the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed.

For example, the temperature suitable for sleeping in the bed space S1 is around 33 ° C., and the humidity is around 50%. The temperature suitable for sleeping in the indoor space S2 is 25 to 28 ° C. in summer, 16 to 20 ° C. in winter, and the humidity is 70% or less in summer and 50% or more in winter.

In the present embodiment, for example, the lower the numerical value, the more comfortable the discomfort index is used as the comfort in the bed and the comfort in the room. When the discomfort index is used, the target comfort level (target bed comfort level) of the bed space S1 is 82, and the target comfort level (target room comfort level) of the indoor space S2 is the target temperature of the summer indoor space S2. Is 26.5 ° C. and the target humidity is 70%, which is 75.5. The air conditioning control unit 205 stores these temperature, humidity and discomfort index in advance, and uses (discomfort index) = 0.81Td + 0.01H (0.99Td-14.3) +46.3 (here, Td: air temperature). , H: Humidity), the discomfort index of the bed space S1 and the room space S2 is calculated.

For example, assuming summer, the indoor air conditioning unit 203 is operating, the indoor temperature is 28 ° C., the indoor humidity is 80%, the bed air conditioning unit 102 is not operating, and the bed temperature is 35 ° C. When the humidity in the bed is 80%, the discomfort index of the indoor space S2 is 79 and the discomfort index of the space S1 in the bed is 90, so that the difference in indoor comfort is 3.5 and the difference in comfort in the bed is 8. It becomes. In this case, since the difference in comfort in the bed (8) is larger than the difference in comfort in the room (3.5), the air conditioning control unit 205 operates the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed and changes the outlet 203a downward. The wind direction of the indoor air-conditioning unit 203 is changed downward so that the cold air from the indoor air-conditioning unit 203 can easily reach the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed.

The in-bed comfort and indoor comfort are not particularly limited to the above-mentioned example of the discomfort index, and for example, another index that is an index of the in-bed comfort may be used, or the user's preference may be reflected. An index suitable for each season may be set as appropriate.

Further, in the air conditioner control unit 205, the indoor comfort level (for example, the indoor discomfort index) calculated from the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity measured by the indoor environment measurement unit 204 is the bed temperature measured by the bed environment measurement unit 201. And, only when the comfort level in the bed (for example, the target discomfort index in the bed) is closer than the comfort level in the bed calculated from the humidity in the bed (for example, the target discomfort index in the bed), the air conditioner 102 in the bed is operated. The temperature inside the bed may be adjusted. In this case, the in-bed air-conditioning unit 102 takes in the air near the bedding B2, which is close to the target in-bed comfort, into the bedding space S1 so that the in-bed comfort in the bed space S1 can be achieved in a shorter time. You can get closer to the inner comfort level.

For example, when the room temperature is 28 ° C., the room humidity is 40%, the bed temperature is 35 ° C, and the bed humidity is 70%, the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed is operated, while the room temperature is 18 ° C. When the indoor humidity is 40%, the temperature inside the bed is 25 ° C, and the humidity inside the bed is 40%, the operation of the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed may be stopped. In the above example, the operation or stop of the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed is determined using the discomfort index as an index, but the operation or stop is not particularly limited to this example, and for example, the temperature and / or humidity is used as an index in the bed. The operation or stop of the air conditioning unit 102 may be determined.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the bed temperature and the room humidity are measured in addition to the bed temperature and the room temperature, and the measured bed temperature and the bed humidity are used as an index of the comfort in the bed. The difference in comfort level in the bed, which is the difference between the comfort level in the bed and the target comfort level in the bed, is calculated, and the measured room temperature and humidity are used to determine the comfort level in the room. The indoor comfort level as an index is calculated, the indoor comfort level difference, which is the difference between the indoor comfort level and the target indoor comfort level, is calculated. Since the temperature inside the bed is adjusted by operating 102, the temperature inside the bed can be adjusted by giving priority to the space S1 inside the bed, which has a large difference with respect to the target comfort level, and the temperature inside the bed can be adjusted in a shorter time. It can be comfortable and can reduce power consumption.

(Embodiment 4)
In the first embodiment described above, the in-bed air-conditioning unit 102 and the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 are controlled based on the bed temperature and the room temperature, but in the present embodiment, human biometric information is measured and the biometric information is obtained. An air conditioning control system that determines a person's sleep state based on the measurement results and controls the bed air conditioner and the indoor air conditioner based on the sleep state in addition to the bed temperature and the room temperature will be described.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the air conditioning control system according to the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure. The air conditioning control system shown in FIG. 6 includes an in-bed environment measurement unit 101, an in-bed air-conditioning unit 102, an indoor air-conditioning unit 103, an indoor environment measurement unit 104, a storage unit 110, a biological information measurement unit 331, a sleep state determination unit 332, and a sleep state determination unit 332. The air conditioning control unit 305 is provided. In FIG. 6, the same parts as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The biological information measuring unit 331 measures biological information. Biological information includes, for example, body movement data. For example, the biometric information measuring unit 331 is composed of a body motion sensor having an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, or the like, and is attached to a predetermined position in the bedding B2, for example, near the waist of the user HB. The biological information measurement unit 331 measures body movement data (for example, the number of turns) representing the movement of the user HB during sleep as biological information, and outputs the biological information to the sleep state determination unit 332.

The configuration and biometric information of the biometric information measuring unit 331 are not particularly limited to the above example. For example, the biological information is a heart rate, and the biological information measuring unit 331 may be a heart rate sensor composed of a radio wave sensor or the like that measures the heart rate (heart rate signal) of the user HB in a non-contact manner. Further, for example, the biological information is the respiratory rate, and the biological information measuring unit 331 may be a breathing sensor composed of a radio wave sensor or the like that measures the breathing (breathing signal) of the user HB in a non-contact manner. Further, the biological information measurement unit 331 may use a plurality of sensors in combination.

The sleep state determination unit 332 determines the state of a person based on the biological information measured by the biological information measurement unit 331, and outputs the determination result to the air conditioning control unit 305. Specifically, the sleep state determination unit 332 determines whether the human state is the sleep state based on the biological information. Various methods such as comparison between biometric information and threshold value, comparison between feature amount of biometric information and predetermined feature amount, or output obtained by inputting biometric information into a machine learning model for state determination. Can be adopted. For example, if the amount of body movement (the amount of turning over) indicated by the body movement data is larger than the threshold value, it can be determined that sleep is light. As a method for determining the sleep state of the present embodiment, a known determination method such as determining the awakening period, the sleep period, etc. according to the amount of body movement (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-000211). Can be used.

Further, the sleep state determination unit 332 determines the sleeplessness of the user HB during sleep from the body movement data measured by the biological information measurement unit 331 and the bed temperature measured by the bed environment measurement unit 101. When the space S1 in the bed becomes hot in the summer, the number of people turning over increases, but the fact that there are many turning over does not necessarily indicate that it is difficult to sleep. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the difficulty of sleeping of the user HB is determined based on the temperature rise of the space S1 in the bed and the amount of turning over indicated by the body movement data. Therefore, it is possible to accurately determine the sleepiness of the user HB. For example, a known method (Patent No. 5237845) can be used as a method for determining sleeplessness. The configuration of the sleep state determination unit 332 is not particularly limited to the above example, and various changes such as being built in the air conditioning control unit 305 or the like can be made.

The air-conditioning control unit 305 uses a wired or wireless network, infrared rays, or the like to measure the bed environment, the bed air-conditioning unit 102, the indoor air-conditioning unit 103, the indoor environment measurement unit 104, and the sleep state determination unit 332. Is connected so that it can communicate with. The air conditioning control unit 305 is based on the bed temperature measured by the bed environment measurement unit 101, the room temperature measured by the indoor environment measurement unit 104, and the sleep state determined by the sleep state determination unit 332. It controls the in-bed air conditioning unit 102 and the indoor air conditioning unit 103.

Specifically, in the air conditioning control unit 305, the sleep state determined by the sleep state determination unit 332 is sleeping (for example, the user HB is between the bedding B2 and the bedding B3). In the case of, the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed is operated to adjust the temperature in the bed. At this time, the air-conditioning control unit 305 operates the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 and changes the wind direction of the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 downward by changing the outlet 103a downward, so that cold air or hot air from the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 is discharged. Make it easier to reach the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed. In this case, the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed takes in the air near the bedding B2 into the space S1 in the bed to cool the space S1 in the bed filled with hot air or warm the cold space S1 in the bed. be able to.

Further, when the air-conditioning control unit 305 indicates that the sleep state determined by the sleep state determination unit 332 has woken up, the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed is operated to dry the space S1 in the bed. At this time, the air-conditioning control unit 305 operates the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 in a dehumidifying operation or the like, and changes the wind direction of the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 downward by changing the outlet 103a downward, and dries from the indoor air-conditioning unit 103. It makes it easier for the air to reach the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed. In this case, the in-bed air-conditioning unit 102 can dry the damp bedding space S1 by taking in the dry air in the vicinity of the bedding B2 into the bedding space S1, and the bedding B2 and the bedding that have absorbed moisture can be dried. The bedding B3 can be dried.

Further, when the air-conditioning control unit 305 indicates that the sleep state determined by the sleep state determination unit 332 has fallen asleep, the air-conditioning unit 103 blows out while operating the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed while the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 is cooling or dehumidifying. By changing the port 103a downward, the wind direction of the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 is changed downward, and the set temperature of the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 is slightly raised by, for example, 1 ° C., while the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 is in the heating operation. , The air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed is stopped, and the set temperature of the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 is changed from, for example, 22 ° C to 16 ° C and lowered by 6 to 7 ° C.

In this case, in the summer, the temperature-controlled air near the bedding B2 is taken into the bed space S1 to raise the temperature so as not to overcool the room space S2, and to make the bed space S1 easy to sleep. Can be maintained. Further, in winter, it is possible to suppress excessive heating of the indoor space S2 while maintaining an easy-to-sleep state in the bed space S1. When the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 is in the heating operation, the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed is stopped, but the present invention is not particularly limited to this, and when the temperature of the space S1 in the bed changes, the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed is stopped. May be operated.

Further, when the air-conditioning control unit 305 indicates that the sleep state determined by the sleep state determination unit 332 is lighter before waking up, the air-conditioning unit in the bed is the air-conditioning unit in the bed while the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 is cooling or dehumidifying. While operating 102, the wind direction of the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 is changed downward by changing the outlet 103a downward, and the set temperature of the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 is slightly raised by, for example, 0.5 to 1 ° C. On the other hand, while the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 is in the heating operation, the set temperature of the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 is raised by, for example, 6 to 7 ° C. from the above 16 ° C. while operating the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed.

In this case, the core body temperature of the user HB who sleeps lightly before waking up rises due to the biological mechanism, but raising the temperature of the indoor space S2 promotes the rise of the core body temperature of the user HB, and the temperature of the indoor space S2. Can be adjusted to an environmental temperature at which the user HB who wakes up can easily act. When the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 is in the heating operation, the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed is operated, but the present invention is not particularly limited to this example, and the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed may be stopped if necessary.

Further, when the sleep state determination unit 332 determines from the body movement data and the temperature inside the bed that the sleeping user HB has difficulty sleeping, the air conditioning control unit 305 operates the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed while operating the indoor air conditioning unit 103. Lower the set temperature of. For example, the air conditioning control unit 305 changes the wind direction of the indoor air conditioning unit 103 downward by changing the outlet 103a downward, and lowers the set temperature of the indoor air conditioning unit 103 by, for example, 1 to 2 ° C. for cooling. Alternatively, the dehumidifying operation is performed to operate the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed. In this case, the temperature of the indoor space S2 can be lowered to a temperature suitable for sleeping, and the temperature of the sleeping space S1 can be lowered by using the air of the lowered indoor space S2 to sleep the sleeping space S1. It can be made easy.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the biometric information of the user HB is measured, the sleep state of the user HB is determined based on the measurement result of the measured biometric information, and the measured bed temperature and room temperature are determined. Since the in-bed air-conditioning unit 102 and the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 are controlled based on the sleeping state, the in-bed space S1 is created by using the air in the indoor space S2 whose temperature is adjusted according to the sleeping state of the user HB. Air conditioning can be performed, and in-bed air conditioning suitable for the sleeping state of the user HB can be realized.

(Embodiment 5)
In the first embodiment described above, the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed and the room air-conditioning unit 103 are controlled based on the temperature inside the bed and the room temperature, but in the present embodiment, in addition to the temperature inside the bed and the room temperature, the user The air-conditioning control system that controls the air-conditioning unit in the bed and the indoor air-conditioning unit based on the action schedule of the above will be described.

The air conditioning control system shown in FIG. 7 includes an in-bed environment measurement unit 101, an in-bed air conditioning unit 102, an indoor air conditioning unit 103, an indoor environment measurement unit 104, a storage unit 110, an action schedule management unit 441, and an air conditioning control unit 405. .. In FIG. 7, the same parts as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The action schedule management unit 441 manages the action schedule of the user HB. For example, the action schedule management unit 441 is input with the return time of the user HB, and determines the scheduled bedtime from the return time. The input to the action schedule management unit 441 such as the return time of the user HB is automatically input by the user HB to the action schedule management unit 441 or by using the position information of the information terminal such as a smartphone owned by the user HB. Various input methods such as input can be used. The method of managing the action schedule such as the return time is not particularly limited to the above example, and various changes such as storing the return time, bedtime, etc. in a predetermined server and acquiring from this server are possible. ..

The air-conditioning control unit 405 acquires the scheduled bedtime of the user HB with reference to the action schedule management unit 441, and operates the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed when the predetermined time before the scheduled bedtime, for example, 30 minutes. The temperature of the space S1 in the bed is adjusted. At this time, the air-conditioning control unit 405 operates the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 and changes the wind direction of the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 downward by changing the outlet 103a downward, and the air in the indoor space S2 whose temperature is adjusted is adjusted. Can be efficiently supplied to the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed. The other operations of the air conditioning control unit 405 are the same as those of the air conditioning control unit 105 shown in FIG.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the action schedule management unit 441 that manages the action schedule of a person is referred to, and when the action schedule is before bedtime, the in-bed air-conditioning unit 102 is operated to sleep. Since the temperature of the inner space S1 is adjusted, the temperature of the bed inner space S1 can be automatically adjusted to a temperature suitable for sleep by the time of bedtime.

(Embodiment 6)
In the first embodiment described above, the indoor air conditioning unit 103 having one outlet 103a is controlled, but in the present embodiment, an air conditioning control system for controlling the indoor air conditioning unit having two outlets will be described.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the air conditioning control system according to the sixth embodiment of the present disclosure. The air conditioning control system shown in FIG. 8 includes an in-bed environment measurement unit 101, an in-bed air conditioning unit 102, an indoor air conditioning unit 503, an indoor environment measurement unit 104, a storage unit 110, and an air conditioning control unit 505. In FIG. 8, the same parts as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The indoor air-conditioning unit 503 is composed of, for example, an air conditioner or the like, and is attached above one wall forming the indoor space S2. The indoor air-conditioning unit 503 can perform cooling operation, heating operation, and dehumidifying operation, and adjusts the temperature of the indoor space S2 according to the operating state, the set temperature, and the like. Further, the indoor air conditioning unit 503 includes a first outlet (first louver) 503a and a second outlet (second louver) 503b, and the wind direction can be set in two different directions. The number of outlets (louvers) is not particularly limited to the above example, and three or more outlets may be used.

When operating the indoor air-conditioning unit 503, the air-conditioning control unit 505 controls the wind direction of one of the first and second outlets 503a and 503b toward the bed (the direction in which the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed is located). For example, in the summer, the air conditioning control unit 505 operates the indoor air conditioning unit 503 and sets the second outlet 503b downward to set one of the indoor air conditioning units 503 downwards, thereby setting the indoor air conditioning unit 503 downward. One of the airflows of 503 can easily reach the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed. Further, the air conditioning control unit 505 sets the other wind direction of the indoor air conditioning unit 503 upward by setting the first outlet 503a upward, and the other airflow of the indoor air conditioning unit 503 is used to cover the entire interior space S2. Adjust the temperature. Other operations of the air conditioning control unit 505 are the same as those of the air conditioning control unit 105 shown in FIG.

As described above, in the present embodiment, since the wind direction of one of the first and second outlets 503a and 503b of the indoor air conditioning unit 503 is controlled toward the bed, the temperature is adjusted from one outlet. The air can be efficiently supplied to the air-conditioning unit 102 in the bed, and the temperature-controlled air can be efficiently supplied to the indoor space S2 from the other outlet, so that the space S1 and the room S2 in the bed can be efficiently supplied. At the same time, you can be in a comfortable state.

(Embodiment 7)
In the first embodiment, an example of controlling the bed air-conditioning unit 102 and the room air-conditioning unit 103 according to the difference between the bed temperature difference and the room temperature difference has been described. In the present embodiment, an air conditioning control system that controls the in-bed air-conditioning unit 102 and the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 according to the relationship between the temperature difference in the bed and the first threshold value and the indoor temperature difference and the second threshold value will be described.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the air conditioning control system according to the seventh embodiment of the present disclosure. The air conditioning control system shown in FIG. 9 includes an in-bed environment measurement unit 101, an in-bed air conditioning unit 102, an indoor air conditioning unit 103, an indoor environment measurement unit 104, a storage unit 110, a biological information measurement unit 331, and an air conditioning control unit 605. .. In FIG. 9, the same parts as those in FIGS. 1 and 6 are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Specifically, the air conditioning control unit 605 determines whether the temperature difference in the bed is equal to or greater than the first threshold value and the indoor temperature difference is equal to or greater than the second threshold value. This corresponds to determining whether the inside of the bed is uncomfortable and the inside of the room is uncomfortable.

Further, the air conditioning control unit 605 acquires information on the behavior of a person in the room from the biological information measurement unit 331. Then, the air conditioning control unit 605 determines whether the acquired information on the behavior of the person indicates that the person is active. For example, the biological information measurement unit 331 includes a radio wave sensor that measures a person's activity amount, and the air conditioning control unit 605 determines whether the activity amount obtained from the radio wave sensor is equal to or greater than a threshold value. Further, in addition to the above, the air conditioning control unit 605 may determine whether or not heartbeat or respiration is measured in a bed such as a bed. This is because a person is often active when the amount of activity is above the threshold and heart rate or respiration is not measured in the bed.

Further, for example, the biological information measuring unit 331 may include a wearable inertial sensor that measures the amount of activity, and the air conditioning control unit 605 may determine whether the amount of activity obtained from the inertial sensor is equal to or greater than the threshold value. .. Further, in addition to the above, the air conditioning control unit 605 may determine that the person is active when the degree of the measured heartbeat fluctuation is equal to or less than the threshold value.

The method of acquiring information on the behavior of a person in the room is not particularly limited to the above example. For example, instead of the biological information measuring unit 331, information on the behavior of a person in the room may be acquired from a terminal owned by the person (for example, a smartphone or the like). In this case, when an application related to sleep operates on a terminal owned by a person and a sleep start operation is performed in the application, the fact that the sleep start operation has been performed or the information transmitted as a trigger thereof is controlled by air conditioning from the terminal. It may be transmitted to unit 605. The air conditioning control unit 605 determines whether or not the information is received.

Both the determination of whether the temperature difference in the bed is greater than or equal to the first threshold and the determination of whether the temperature difference in the room is greater than or equal to the second threshold and whether the information on the behavior of the person indicates that the person is active are true. In this case, the air conditioning control unit 605 controls the wind direction of the indoor air conditioning unit 103 to the direction for air conditioning the room. This is to prioritize the comfort of those who are active indoors.

Then, when the room temperature difference acquired thereafter is less than the second threshold value, the air conditioning control unit 605 operates the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed and sets the wind direction of the room air conditioning unit 103 toward the bed. As a result, the air in the room, which is the air sent into the bed, becomes comfortable, so that the inside of the bed can be efficiently made comfortable.

As another example, when the information regarding the behavior of the person acquired thereafter indicates that the person goes to bed or goes to bed, the air conditioning control unit 605 operates the air conditioning unit 102 in the bed and sets the wind direction of the indoor air conditioning unit 103 to the bed. It may be set in the direction. For example, the air conditioning control unit 605 determines whether heartbeat or respiration is measured on a bed such as a bed. Further, for example, the air conditioning control unit 605 may determine whether or not the information transmitted from the sleep-related application as described above is received.

Thereby, even if the room is not always comfortable, by giving priority to the air conditioning in the bed, it is possible to make the sleep of the person who is going to sleep or sleeping comfortable.

(Embodiment 8)
In this embodiment, an air conditioning control system that controls the wind direction of the indoor air conditioning unit 103 based on the relationship between the temperature difference in the bed and the indoor temperature difference will be described. Since the configuration of the air conditioning control system of the present embodiment is the same as that of the air conditioning control system shown in FIG. 1, the illustration and detailed description are omitted, and the differences from the air conditioning control system shown in FIG. 1 will be described in detail. do.

Specifically, the outlet 103a of the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 is configured to be able to change the ratio of the direction of the bed to the direction other than the direction of the bed in the wind direction. The air-conditioning control unit 105 sets the ratio of the wind direction of the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 between the bed direction and the direction other than the bed direction according to the ratio between the temperature difference in the bed and the temperature difference in the room. For example, when the ratio of the temperature difference in the bed to the temperature difference in the room is 8: 2, the air conditioning control unit 105 directs 80% of the wind direction port of the room air conditioning unit 103 toward the bed and 20% in the direction other than the bed. Turn in the direction.

As a result, it is possible to preferentially air-condition the inside of the bed and the room with a higher degree of discomfort while air-conditioning the inside of the bed and the entire room. Therefore, when only one of the bed and the room is air-conditioned, it is possible to prevent the other from falling into an unpleasant state.

The ratio of the wind direction may be a temporal ratio of the wind direction in addition to the ratio of the wind direction port as described above. For example, when the ratio of the temperature difference in the bed to the temperature difference in the room is 8: 2, the air conditioning control unit 105 sets the wind direction of the room air conditioning unit 103 toward the bed for 80% of the predetermined period, and sets the wind direction in the bed direction for a predetermined period. For 20% of the time, set it in a direction other than the bed direction.

The process or configuration in each embodiment may be incorporated into the process or configuration of another embodiment. Specifically, the coordinated control of the seventh embodiment may be executed by the coordinated control of the third embodiment. For example, the in-bed air-conditioning unit 102 and the indoor air-conditioning unit 103 may be controlled according to the relationship between the in-bed comfort level difference and a predetermined threshold value, and the indoor comfort level difference and another predetermined threshold value.

The air-conditioning control system according to one aspect of the present disclosure has an in-bed air-conditioning unit that adjusts the temperature inside the bed, and controls the indoor air-conditioning unit and the in-bed air-conditioning unit in cooperation with each other.
