A specific example of notification by the notification unit 59 will be described later in detail.

Next, processing such as generation of map information performed by the air conditioning control device 50 of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the procedure of processing performed by the air conditioning control device 50 . Here, as the terminal devices 70 of the users who use the building B whose temperature is adjusted by the air conditioning system 1, a plurality of terminal devices 70 whose account information identification ID is N=1, 2, 3, etc. are stored. It is assumed that the data is stored in the unit 52 .

In the air conditioning control device 50, the position information management unit 54 outputs a signal requesting transmission of position information to the plurality of terminal devices 70 stored in the storage unit 52 at predetermined time intervals ( step 101). Each terminal device 70 that has received the signal establishes communication with the air conditioning control device 50 and transmits the position information detected by the position detection function to the air conditioning control device 50 . Specifically, when the terminal device 70 is located in the building B, the terminal device 70 transmits, as position information, information specifying which room C the terminal device 70 is located in and information specifying the position in the room C to the air conditioning control device. 50. Further, when the terminal device 70 is located outside the building B, the terminal device 70 transmits information regarding the current position specified by the GPS function or the like to the air conditioning control device 50 as the position information.

Next, the location information management unit 54 determines whether or not location information has been acquired for the terminal device 70 with an identification ID of N (N=1) (step 102).
If the position information has been acquired (YES at step 102), the position information management unit 54 determines whether or not the position information is within building B (step 103).
If the location information of the terminal device 70 with an identification ID of N (N=1) cannot be acquired (NO in step 102), or if the acquired location information is outside building B (NO in step 103), The air-conditioning control device 50 proceeds to step 106, which will be described later, and continues the process.

Next, if the location information is within building B (YES in step 103), the map information generation unit 58, under the control of the account information management unit 53, corresponds to the terminal device 70 with the identification ID of N (N=1). Acquire the account information to be used (step 104). If there is no account information corresponding to the terminal device 70 with an identification ID of 1 (N=1), the account information management unit 53 creates new account information, and the map information generation unit 58 Get information.

Next, the map information generation unit 58 associates and stores the information regarding the desired temperature in the account information acquired in step 104 with the location information of the terminal device 70 acquired by the location information management unit 54 in step 102 (step 105).

Next, the map information generation unit 58 determines whether or not the processes of steps 102 to 105 have been completed for all the terminal devices 70 stored in the storage unit 52 (step 106). If the process has not been executed for all the terminal devices 70 (NO in step 106), the identification ID of the terminal device 70 is updated to N+1 (N=N+1) (step 107), and the process returns to step 102. Execute. As a result, the processing of steps 102 to 105 is sequentially executed for each of the terminal devices 70 having identification IDs N=1, 2, 3, . . . . In addition, the position information and the information about the desired temperature are collected for each of the terminal devices 70 whose identification ID is N=1, 2, 3, . . . .

On the other hand, when the processing of steps 102 to 105 has been executed for all the terminal devices 70 (YES in step 106), the map information generator 58 retrieves the layout information indicating the layout of the rooms C in the building B from the storage unit 52. obtain (step 108).
Next, the map information generation unit 58 generates map information by associating the position information of each terminal device 70 and the information on the desired temperature with the arrangement information (step 109).
Then, the map information generation unit 58 outputs the map information generated in step 109 to each terminal device 70 via the communication unit 51 (step 110).

Next, based on the map information generated in step 109, the notification unit 59 extracts a terminal device 70 having a large difference in desired temperature from other terminal devices 70 from among a plurality of terminal devices 70 having close position information. (Step 111).
Then, the notification unit 59 notifies the extracted terminal device 70 of information based on the relationship with the other terminal device 70 (step 112).
A series of processes are completed by the above. The above processing by the air conditioning control device 50 is periodically performed at predetermined time intervals. As a result, the map information in which the position information of each terminal device 70 is updated is periodically output to each terminal device 70 .

Subsequently, the map information generated by the map information generation unit 58 of the present embodiment and output to the terminal device 70 will be specifically described. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of map information generated by the map information generation unit 58. As shown in FIG. The map information shown in FIG. 5 is output to the terminal device 70 and displayed on the display section of the terminal device 70 according to the user's operation on the terminal device 70, for example.

As shown in FIG. 5, the map information is a plan view showing the layout of rooms C1, C2, and C3 in building B, and marks indicating position information and desired temperatures of respective terminal devices 70 are displayed. Each mark indicates the position information of each terminal device 70 by the display position in the plan view, and also indicates the desired temperature of each terminal device 70 by the shape of the mark. Also, in this example, the color of the mark representing the terminal device 70 that displays the map information is made different from the color of the other terminal devices 70 . Additionally, in this example, the mark representing the own terminal device 70 existing in the living room C2 is displayed in white, and the mark representing the other terminal device 70 is displayed in black.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, by referring to the map information generated by the map information generation unit 58, the user in the living room C can know the relationship with other users' desired temperatures. . Specifically, the user can know whether or not the desired temperature of the users around him/herself is close to his/her desired temperature. In addition, the user can know which rooms C in the building B have many users whose temperature is close to their desired temperature.

As a result, it is possible to encourage a user whose temperature is significantly different from the desired temperature of surrounding users to move to the living room C in which there are many users whose temperature is close to his/her desired temperature. Then, in the moving destination room C, the target temperature can be set to a temperature close to the desired temperature of the plurality of users, and the satisfaction of the plurality of users with respect to the temperature of the space can be improved. In addition, frequent changes in the target temperature due to the presence of multiple users with different desired temperatures in the same living room C can be suppressed, and energy saving of the air conditioning unit 10 (see FIG. 1) can be achieved.

Further, in the map information shown in FIG. 5 , the mark indicating each terminal device 70 is associated with information about the user included in the account information of the terminal device 70 . In this example, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, by selecting one of the marks displayed in the map information, information about the user of the terminal device 70 corresponding to this mark is displayed in a popup.
As a result, the user can move to the room C based on the displayed information about the user, and it becomes easier to encourage the user to move to the room C. FIG.

For example, when information about the user's tendency (whether it is sensitive to heat or cold, etc.) is displayed as information about the user in the map information, the user can move to the room C where there are many users who are similar to the user's tendency. As a result, it becomes easier to set the target temperature according to the tendency of the room C to which the user moves, and it becomes easier to improve the satisfaction of a plurality of users.

In addition, when the map information displays the information on the use time of the building B as the information on the user, the user can move to the room C where there are many users whose use time is close to the user.
That is, for example, if building B is a company, the number of users in building B may decrease before the start time or after the end time. On the other hand, by displaying the information about the usage time of the building B in the map information, it becomes easier to gather the users whose usage time is close to the specific room C, such as the users who work overtime after the closing time. As a result, the energy consumption associated with the temperature adjustment of the living room C where there are few users is suppressed.

Note that the display form of the map information is not limited to the form shown in FIG. In the map information shown in FIG. 5, the desired temperature of each terminal device 70 is indicated by the shape of the mark corresponding to each terminal device 70. can be indicated by
In the map information shown in FIG. 5, the location information and the desired temperature of each terminal device 70 are represented by individual marks. can be expressed by

Next, the specific terminal device 70 extracted from the plurality of terminal devices 70 by the notification unit 59 of the present embodiment is notified of information based on the relationship with the other terminal device 70. explained in detail. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of information notified by the notification unit 59. As shown in FIG. Information from the notification unit 59 is displayed on the display unit of the terminal device 70 as a message, for example. FIG. 5 exemplifies information notified to the terminal device 70 corresponding to the mark indicated by symbol A in room C2 (hereinafter referred to as terminal device 70 of symbol A).

Here, the desired temperature of the terminal device 70 of symbol A is 24° C., and the temperature difference from the desired temperature (27° C. or more) of the other terminal devices 70 existing in the living room C2 is as large as 3° C. or more. . On the other hand, the desired temperature of the other terminal device 70 in the living room C3 is 25° C. or less, which is closer to the desired temperature of the terminal device 70 of code A than in the living room C2.
Then, in the example shown in FIG. 6, a message is sent to the terminal device 70 designated by code A, stating, "The temperature in the living room C2 is higher than the desired temperature. It is recommended that the user move to the living room C3." I am notifying you. As a result, it is possible to prompt the user carrying the terminal device 70 with code A (hereinafter referred to as the user with code A) who has received the notification to move to room C3. Since the desired temperature of the user in living room C3 is close to the desired temperature of the user of symbol A, it is possible to improve the degree of satisfaction of the user of symbol A with respect to the temperature of the space.

In addition, by urging the user A to move to the room C3, the user A requests to change the target temperature (request to lower the target temperature to the desired temperature of 24° C.) in the room C2. is suppressed. This prevents other users in the living room C2 from being less satisfied with the temperature of the space. Also, the decrease in the energy efficiency of the air conditioning unit 10 due to frequent changes in the target temperature is suppressed.
