Thereafter, when the user confirms the transmission of the ID information from the signal transmission / reception unit 701 of the power saving device 70 to the surrounding signal generator, the user turns off the signal generator (S803) and then turns it on (S804). ).

Here, the user's signal generator executes the user registration mode operation for a predetermined time when the power is switched from OFF to ON to start the operation. That is, the user's signal generation device stores the received ID information for a predetermined time and transmits the ID information storage completion information to the power saving device (S805).

On the other hand, if there is no ID information received for a certain period of time, the user signal generation device terminates the user registration mode operation and transmits the previously stored ID information to the power saving device or does not perform any operation.

Subsequently, the power saving device receives the ID information storing completion information transmitted from the user's signal generating device (S806), registers and stores the set ID information as the user ID (S807). Then, the power saving device ends the user ID registration mode.

In this case, when the received ID information storage completion information is two or more, the power saving device may determine that the user ID registration has failed and return to step S802 to proceed with re-registration.

On the other hand, in order to store the ID information set in this embodiment, the operation of turning off the power of the signal generating device of the user was performed, but the operation is not limited to this by pressing a button to save the set ID information by the user The signal generator of the user can be set so that the user's signal generator can store the received ID information.
