JP7084209B2 - Thermo-hygrometer and thermo-humidity control system - Google Patents

Description

The present disclosure relates to a thermo-hygrometer and a thermo-humidity control system.

In recent years, thermohygrometers have been devised that detect environmental data such as temperature and humidity, and based on the detection results, notify the danger of heat stroke, food poisoning, tick / mold outbreak, or influenza (for example). Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent No. 5409496

For example, for each member such as a family at home, pets and belongings, the necessity of notification of the danger related to temperature and humidity as described above, and under what environment the air conditioning equipment should be automatically controlled, etc., respectively. Request levels are often different. Specifically, in the house, you cannot operate the air-conditioning equipment by yourself, but there is no problem as long as the temperature and humidity are not dangerous as long as the temperature and humidity are dangerous like heat stroke, because you can operate the air-conditioning equipment by yourself. User A who does not need automatic control, User B who wants to maintain appropriate temperature and humidity at all times to be conscious of beauty, User B is in the same room if there is an instrument affected by temperature and humidity in the same room. It is desirable to perform high-level automatic control (strictly control the temperature and humidity) during the period. Further, when the user A is in the room but the user B is not in the room, it may be desirable to give a danger notification and not perform automatic control. However, since it may be inconvenient (troublesome) for User A to make settings related to temperature / humidity danger notification and settings related to the operation of air conditioning equipment each time, it is more preferable to be able to change the control contents as appropriate according to User A's wishes. be. In addition, it is desirable that the temperature and humidity are already set to an appropriate level by automatic control when user B enters the room (when he / she returns home from outside), and if users A and B plan to go out, a danger notification is sent. It is preferable not to do so. Further, it is preferable to perform automatic control when each user sleeps, rather than notifying the danger and operating the air conditioner. In this way, it is desired to flexibly control danger notification and air conditioning equipment according to the demands and situations of each member.

However, a thermo-hygrometer as disclosed in Patent Document 1 merely notifies the danger of heat stroke, food poisoning, outbreak of mites / molds, influenza, etc., and is said to flexibly notify the danger. It lacks a perspective and does not necessarily provide a desirable environment for users.

Based on the humidity information, the process of notifying the constituent members in a predetermined place of the danger of the surrounding environment and determining whether or not to execute the air conditioning control of the air conditioning equipment as an external device is executed.

(Ii) In the present embodiment, the storage unit determines whether or not each component member wishes to be notified of the danger when he / she is in a predetermined place, and how he / she desires to perform air conditioning control. Stores notification / air conditioning control setting information that indicates information about. Then, the processor refers to the notification / air conditioning control setting information and determines whether or not the danger notification and the air conditioning control are executed.

(Iii) In the present embodiment, the storage unit further provides priority setting information indicating which member's notification / air conditioning control setting information is prioritized when a plurality of constituent members coexist in the predetermined location. Store. Then, when a plurality of constituent members coexist, the processor further refers to the priority setting information and determines whether or not the danger notification and the air conditioning control are executed.

(Iv) In the present embodiment, the plurality of external devices include a passage detecting means installed at an entrance / exit at a predetermined place and a mobile terminal of each constituent member. The processor uses the communication unit to acquire the detection result by the passage detection means by short-range communication, and also performs short-range communication with the mobile terminal of each member to determine the presence / absence of the member at a predetermined location. to decide.

(V) In the present embodiment, the plurality of external devices include a home electric appliance including a communication function. Then, the processor communicates with the home electric appliance using the communication unit, acquires the operation reservation information in the home electric appliance, and at least one of the constituent members is in a predetermined place in the time zone included in the operation reservation information.

It is necessary to understand that it is possible to change the structure and structure and replace various elements. Therefore, the following description should not be construed as limited to this.

<Temperature / humidity control system>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration example of the temperature / humidity control system 1 according to the present embodiment. The temperature / humidity control system 1 is based on the attributes of each user (for example, a member of a family living together) and possessions (pets and goods) (eg, the content of the request regarding temperature / humidity), and whether or not each user is at home. The temperature / humidity meter 10 is a system that notifies each user of dangers related to temperature / humidity (risk of heat stroke, influenza, etc.) and controls the set temperature / humidity of the air conditioning device 30. The temperature / humidity control system 1 includes a thermo-hygrometer 10, a plurality of users 1 to n mobile terminals 20_1 to 20_n (n is an arbitrary integer of 1 or more), at least one air conditioner 30, and at least one. It includes a schedule management terminal 40, another communication terminal 50, a plurality of home appliances 60, at least one baggage 70, and a passage detecting means 80 provided at a doorway of a house or the like.

The thermo-hygrometer 10 acquires setting contents (for example, preset) indicating the attributes of each user, and is based on the setting contents, the indoor environment (temperature and humidity), and information on whether or not each user is at home. Notifies the danger and controls the operation of air conditioning equipment. The detailed configuration and operation details will be described later (see FIG. 2).

The mobile terminals 20_1 to 20_n of the users 1 to n are terminals such as smartphones owned by each user, and are provided with a communication function (for example, a wireless LAN or Bluetooth (registered trademark)). For example, each user operates his / her own mobile terminal 20_k (k = 1 to n) to set the control level required by himself / herself (necessity of danger notification, temperature / humidity control conditions, etc.). Then, the setting content is stored in the memory of the mobile terminal 20_k, or the setting content is transmitted to the thermo-hygrometer 10. When the setting content is stored in the memory of the mobile terminal 20_k, the setting content is automatically transmitted to the thermo-hygrometer 10 when the thermo-hygrometer 10 requests to acquire the setting content. Details such as setting contents will be described later (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

The air conditioner 30 has a communication function (for example, wireless LAN, Bluetooth (registered trademark), etc.), and can change the temperature and humidity settings in response to a command from the thermohygrometer 10. It is configured in.

The schedule management terminal 40 is a terminal device that manages the schedule of each user, acquires the schedule information of each user input to the scheduler from the mobile terminals 20_1 to 20_n of each user, and centrally manages the schedule information. The schedule of each centrally managed user is transmitted to the thermo-hygrometer 10 in response to the request of the thermo-hygrometer 10. In addition, it is sufficient to acquire only the schedule information that has been added or changed to acquire the schedule information each time. Therefore, only the schedules up to the current and next schedule information acquisition times can be acquired. Further, when different schedule information exists, that is, when there is a conflict in the schedule information, the one with the new schedule update time may be treated as the correct schedule. If there is no significant difference in the schedule update time (within the threshold range), the one-time setting is positive (for example, when you wake up at 8 am every morning, the appointment to meet a friend at 7 am is included in the schedule information. If it is included, or if a TV viewing reservation is set at 7 am, priority will be given to information different from usual).

The other communication terminal 50 has a communication function (for example, is connected to the Internet and can also communicate by wireless LAN or Bluetooth®), for example, news (for example, news such as influenza incidence rate) or. A terminal that can receive weather forecasts (may be a stationary computer). In addition, the other communication terminal 50 is connected to an external network and not only receives news or the like, but also when a user at home may have collapsed due to heat stroke or the like, other than a hospital or a family living together. It is configured to be able to send SOS to its members.

The home appliance 60 is, for example, a TV having a communication function (for example, being connected to the Internet and capable of communication by wireless LAN or Bluetooth (registered trademark)), a cooking home appliance (rice cooker, toaster, etc.), an alarm clock, or the like. Yes, in response to the request from the temperature / humidity meter 10, information on the contents (set time and reservation contents) reserved by the timer is transmitted to the temperature / humidity meter 10. Even if there is no request from the thermo-hygrometer 10, the timer reservation contents may be transmitted to the thermo-hygrometer 10 by using the user's setting as a trigger or in response to the user's instruction. As a result, the thermo-hygrometer 10 can recognize that there is a person who is at home and active at the timer reservation time. When the home appliance 60 is an alarm clock, the alarm clock transmits the wake-up set time (including the information of the user of the alarm clock) to the thermo-hygrometer 10. As a result, the thermo-hygrometer 10 can recognize that the target user is sleeping until the wake-up set time.

The baggage 70 is, for example, a property such as a bag having a communication function (for example, communication by at least wireless LAN or Bluetooth (registered trademark) is possible). When the baggage 70 is taken out of the house by a user (constituent member), it cannot communicate with the thermo-hygrometer 10, whereby it can be detected that the user who owns the baggage has gone out.

The passage detecting means 80 includes a sensor (a motion sensor, a camera (a face authentication may be used), a non-contact sensor such as an infrared sensor) and a communication function. For example, when a user or a pet passes through, the sensor Detects the passage of a person or animal (pet) and notifies the thermo-hygrometer 10 using the communication function. Further, the passage detecting means 80 communicates with a communication means provided by a user or a pet (a smartphone in the case of a user; a small communication device attached to a collar, a foot or the like in the case of a pet) via Bluetooth (registered trademark), for example. , Information on whether it is a person who passed through or who it is, may be obtained from the communication means and notified to the thermo-hygrometer 10.

The schedule management terminal 40 and other communication terminals 50 are not essential components in the temperature / humidity control system 1. Some or all of the functions performed by these may be included in any of the mobile terminals 20_1 to 20_n of each user.

<Configuration example of thermo-hygrometer>
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the internal configuration of the thermo-hygrometer 10 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.
The thermo-hygrometer 10 includes a processor 101, a temperature sensor 102, a humidity sensor 103, a communication unit 104, a storage unit 105, an input unit 106, and an output unit 107.

The processor 101 reads various programs (including programs corresponding to the flowchart of FIG. 4) from the storage unit 105 or other memory (not shown), expands various programs in the internal memory (not shown), and executes them. ..

The temperature sensor 102 measures the ambient temperature (environmental temperature) of the thermo-hygrometer 10. The measured temperature information is acquired by the processor 101 on a regular or occasional basis. The humidity sensor 103 measures the humidity (environmental temperature) around the thermo-hygrometer 10. The measured humidity information is acquired by the processor 101 on a regular or occasional basis. In the present embodiment, only the temperature sensor 102 and the humidity sensor 103 are shown as the types of sensors mounted on the thermo-hygrometer 10, but the purpose is not limited to these, and another sensor (for example, a light / dark sensor or a light / dark sensor) is shown. It may be equipped with a sound sensor, etc.).

The communication unit 104 communicates with various external devices such as the user's mobile terminals 20_1 to 20_n and the air conditioning device 30 via a local network (LAN: Local Area Network) or the Internet (WAN: Wide Area Network), and determines. It is a device that acquires information.

The storage unit 105 stores various programs and various parameters. Further, for example, the storage unit 105 stores information on the heat index (WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature)) corresponding to the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 102 and the humidity measured by the humidity sensor 103. Stored.

The input unit 106 is composed of any one of various input means such as switches and buttons, a keyboard (simple keyboard), a touch panel, and a microphone, or a combination thereof. The output unit 107 is composed of a speaker that outputs sound, a display unit, and the like.

The thermo-hygrometer 10 according to the present embodiment having the above configuration acquires surrounding environmental information (temperature, humidity, etc.) by various sensors, and based on the environmental information, the surrounding environment becomes heat stroke, food poisoning, or influenza. Determine if the environment is susceptible and / or if the environment is susceptible to ticks and mold. Then, if the environment is dangerous, the thermo-hygrometer 10 notifies the user about the danger based on the user's attributes (whether or not he / she is a person and the degree of demand) and whether or not the user is at home. , Control the temperature and humidity settings of the air conditioner.

<Example of user notification / air conditioning control settings>
FIG. 3 is a diagram (table) showing an example of user notification / air conditioning control setting according to the present embodiment. The table of FIG. 3 shows an example of the contents held in the storage unit 105 of the thermo-hygrometer 10.

For example, when each user (for example, each member of a family living together) operates his / her own mobile terminal 20_k (k = 1 to n) and the surrounding environment becomes dangerous due to the value of temperature and humidity (risk of heat stroke). I would like to have a notification setting that indicates whether or not I want to be notified when there is a problem or when the possibility of an influenza epidemic is high, and in what cases I want to control the temperature and humidity settings in the air conditioning equipment. Information about whether to do so is input according to a predetermined form (example), and the input content is transmitted to the thermo-hygrometer 10. On the other hand, the thermo-hygrometer 10 stores each of the user notification / air conditioning control setting contents received from the mobile terminals 20_1 to 20_n of each user in the storage unit 105, and centrally manages the request contents of each user.

According to FIG. 3, the user notification / air conditioning control setting 300 has a user name 301, a notification setting 302, a control setting 303, and remark information 304 as constituent items. Although the information in FIG. 3 is in a table format, the information is not limited to the table format, and the format does not matter as long as the information of which user can be managed.

The user name 301 may be a user ID, and is information that can uniquely identify and identify each user. The notification setting 302 is information indicating the necessity of notification determined by each user.

The control setting 303 is information describing how to control the temperature / humidity setting of the air conditioner under what circumstances the surrounding environment is. As shown in FIG. 3, the control setting 303 controls, for example, the temperature / humidity setting of the air conditioner only when there is a risk of heat stroke, and when sleeping or in an environment of heat stroke for a long time (unconsciousness). The setting contents include controlling the temperature / humidity setting of the air conditioner only (when in the state), and controlling the temperature / humidity setting of the air conditioner so that the temperature and humidity always reach the user's desired temperature and humidity. Not limited.

Remark 304 is information that describes the characteristics of each user. For example, it is input that there is a user (infant or pet) who does not make sense even if the notification is made, or the danger notification is welcomed (understand the significance of the notification), but the temperature can be operated by oneself. It may be entered that no humidity setting is required, or that strict temperature / humidity control is required to be conscious of beauty.

For a user whose notification setting 302 is blank (not set), notification to the user can be required from the viewpoint of safety. Also, for users whose air-conditioning control setting is blank (undecided), strict temperature and humidity are not controlled, but at least it is regarded as a setting to control when there is a risk of heat stroke, and air-conditioning control should be performed. You may do it.

<Priority setting>
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of interpretation contents of the notification setting and the control setting according to the situation (at home / absence) of each user (example: each member of the family living together) according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 4, the number of members is set to 3 (three members A to C are constituent members), but the number is not limited to this, and any number of members can be accommodated.
The interpretation content 400 of the notification setting and the control setting has a status 401, a notification setting 402, a control setting 403, and a remark 404 as constituent items.

The situation 401 is information indicating the situation of each user who is in the room or at home. For example, when there are three members, users A to C, there are eight combinations of presence / absence. Further, although it is referred to as a user, it does not have to be a person, and an article such as a musical instrument, a pet, or the like may be counted as a constituent member (constituent), and the situation 401 may be set.

The notification setting 402 is information indicating the necessity of notification corresponding to each situation 401. Further, the control setting 403 is information indicating the content of the air conditioning control corresponding to each situation 401.

Remark 404 is information indicating how to consider the notification setting and the control setting when a plurality of users are at home or in the room at the same time. In the example of FIG. 4, which user's setting should be prioritized is shown, but the setting is not limited to this, and any setting content completely unrelated to the setting of a plurality of users can be used.

<Details of danger notification and temperature / humidity setting control>
FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the details of the danger notification and the temperature / humidity setting control process executed by the thermo-hygrometer 10 according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the processor 101 will be described as the main operating body.

(I) Step 501
The processor 101 accesses the storage unit 105 with the user notification / air conditioning control setting 300 and the interpretation content (priority setting) 400 of the notification setting and the control setting obtained by each user (member of the family living together). get. It should be noted that any user may set the setting of an article such as a musical instrument or a pet instead.

(Ii) Step 502
The processor 101 confirms whether each user is at home or absent. Whether the user is at home (in the room) or absent can be determined, for example, by equipping each user's baggage (such as a bag or a bag) with a communication function and determining whether or not the communication is successful. At the same time, short-range communication (communication using Bluetooth (registered trademark)) may be performed with each user's mobile terminals 20_1 to 20_n, and a comprehensive judgment may be made based on whether or not the communication can be established. If the baggage (belongings) is used only by a specific user, it can be used as a user identification means. However, in the case of baggage, there is a concern that it may be misplaced, so set multiple devices (for example, watches and bags, smartphones) as equivalent information, and if one of them cannot communicate (= absent), the other It may be determined that the device has been misplaced and that it is absent. Further, in order to prevent erroneous detection of communication failure due to battery exhaustion, a device having a low battery level may transmit a battery exhaustion signal so that it is not treated as absent even if communication is interrupted.

In addition, when there are settings that assume that you are at home at that time or time, such as lighting, TV viewing reservation, smart home appliance startup setting, and alarm clock setting (all home appliance settings). As described above, the processor 101 can acquire the set time information and determine whether or not it is in a sleeping state. In other words, by using lighting, TV viewing reservation, and smart home appliance activation settings, it can be estimated that at least someone is not sleeping at that time, and the alarm clock setting time is set by a specific user until before that time. It can be presumed to be in a sleeping state. Also, for example, if the couple lives together and the wife has made a reservation to watch the wide show (TV viewing reservation) (at the time of reservation, the TV keeps the reservation of the wife, or the thermo-hygrometer If the non-contact sensor installed in the door detects the information that someone has gone out, it is determined that the person who went out is the husband and the person who is at home is the wife. be able to.

Further, the processor 101 of the thermo-hygrometer 10 is absent at that time, such as schedule information (outing information) set in each user's mobile terminal 20_1 to 20_n, schedule information of each user held in the schedule management terminal 40, and the like. You can get the settings that assume something. Therefore, the processor 101 is based on the schedule information and the execution result of short-range communication (for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark)) between each user's mobile terminals 20_1 to 20_n and each user's baggage (with communication function). , You can check if you are at home. Further, the processor 101 can acquire position information from each user's mobile terminal 20_1 by using the GPS function of 20_n, and may confirm whether or not he / she is at home.

Further, the processor 101 acquires the current position information of 20_n from the mobile terminal 20_1 of each user by using the GPS function, and is required to move from the current location to the destination included in the schedule information based on the schedule information. It is possible to estimate the time and the time to return home from the destination.

In addition, home / absence judgment is made based on the acquired information (information on whether communication is possible, home appliance reservation setting information (TV viewing reservation information), schedule information), but priority is given to each acquired information. You may judge with a degree. For example, the detection result of the passage detecting means 80 + the result of the short-range communication> the result of the short-range communication with the baggage 70> the detection of lighting and the reservation setting of the home appliance 60 = the schedule information. Can be done.

(Iii) Step 503
When it is determined that there is a danger due to the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 102 and the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 103, the processor 101 gives priority to the user notification / air conditioning control setting 300 (FIG. 3) held in the storage unit 105. The control content (danger) is based on the setting content 400 (FIG. 4) and the information on the setting content and the information on whether or not each user (each member of the family living together), the article, and the pet is at home confirmed in step 502. Whether to notify or not, and to set the temperature and humidity of the air conditioner).

(Iv) Step 504
The processor 101 executes notification and controls the air conditioning device 30 based on the control content determined in step 503.

(V) Step 505
The processor 101 determines whether there has been a change in the presence or absence of each user (each member of the family living together), goods, and pets at home. Whether or not there has been a change can be determined by performing the process described in step 502. If there is a change (yes in step 505), the process proceeds to step 503. If there is no change (No in step 505), the process proceeds to step 506.

(Vi) Step 506
The processor 101 continues the user notification and the air conditioning control based on the control content determined in step 503.

(Vii) Step 507
The processor 101 determines whether or not the setting contents (user notification / air conditioning control setting 300 and priority setting 400) relating to each user (each member of the family living together), articles, and pets have been updated. When the setting content is updated (changed) (Yes in step 507), the process proceeds to step 503. If the setting contents have not been updated (there is no change and the same) (No in step 507), the process proceeds to step 505.

By performing the above-mentioned processing, if no family member is at home, or if only the user (family member), pet, musical instrument, etc. set as no danger notification is present in the house. , It will be possible to take flexible measures such as not notifying the danger, not notifying the danger when it is just before the scheduled time to go out, and notifying only the danger of heat stroke when sleeping.

<Modification example>
(I) The danger notification may be performed by transferring information to a terminal (smartphone, TV, lighting, etc.) capable of giving another warning such as an icon, light, or sound.

(Ii) Obtaining weather information in the current area from the outside, and if the temperature difference / humidity difference between indoors and outdoors is above the threshold, it is judged that it is better to open the window than to operate the air conditioning equipment 30. , You may be notified to open the window, or information about the onset of influenza from the outside (whether or not the user has been vaccinated (input from each user's mobile terminal 20_1 to 20_n and transmitted to the thermo-hygrometer 10), You may change the threshold for notifying the danger of influenza by acquiring (such as news of the increase in influenza patients). For example, since influenza has not been vaccinated recently and influenza is prevalent recently, a notification mode in which a message to increase alertness is transmitted from the thermo-hygrometer 10 to each user's mobile terminal 20_1 to 20_n can be considered.

(Iii) In the present embodiment, when communication with the air conditioner (including an air conditioner, a humidifier, a fan, etc.) 30 is possible, when no user (for example, a member of the family) is at home or automatic control is unnecessary. It is said that the air conditioner will not operate if only the set user is at home, but in addition to this, the air conditioner 30 will be operated so that the temperature and humidity will be appropriate at the time when the user is scheduled to stay at home. Flexible operation of the air-conditioning equipment according to the required level of automatic control of the user at home, and operation of the minimum air-conditioning equipment even for the user who has set that automatic control is unnecessary when sleeping. Automatic control may be performed. However, in order not to surprise the user when the air-conditioning device 30 suddenly operates, the mobile terminals 20_1 to 20_n of each user who operates the air-conditioning device 30 or is at home should be notified of the operation. You may do it. In addition, the thermo-hygrometer 10 may acquire future weather information (weather forecast) of the current location from the outside and incorporate it into the control (if there is a weather forecast that the room will cool down rapidly, the air conditioning control will make the room warmer than usual. do).

(Iv) The thermo-hygrometer 10 communicates with the mobile terminal 20_k (k = 1 to n) of the absent user to transmit an SOS signal, or communicates with another communication terminal 50 to the outside (for example, a hospital). On the other hand, an SOS signal may be transmitted. However, in order to avoid erroneous transmission of the SOS signal, the thermo-humidity meter 10 has exceeded the threshold for the time the user has been at home under the temperature and humidity at which there is a risk of heat stroke (during that time, the danger is notified). However, control to stop notification, if there is no change in temperature and humidity), whether it is in a sleeping state (if it is not in a sleeping state, it is judged to be heat stroke in a short time), air conditioning is controlled by communicating with the air conditioning device 30, and it is specified. It may be determined whether time has passed (it is the first decision to set the temperature and humidity to an appropriate value), and the SOS signal may be transmitted based on this determination result.
