- FIG. 13 is a flowchart for explaining processing for creating integrated information and device status information in step S 105 of FIG.
- the integrated information and device status information creation process in FIG. 13 is a process performed by the setting confirmation data creation processing unit 25 in FIG. 12 and the home appliance 1 in FIG.
- the information acquisition unit 25a receives from the standard information storage unit 21 standard information corresponding to model information and version information that matches the model information and version information included in the identification information stored in the internal memory. Obtain (Step S201). Next, the information acquisition unit 25a Combination information that matches the model information and version information included in the identification information stored in the internal memory is acquired from the combination information storage unit 23 (step S202).
- the information acquisition unit 25a acquires the property map from the home appliance 1 by the communication unit 28. Specifically, the information acquisition unit 25a creates a property map acquisition request, and the communication unit 28 transmits the property map acquisition request created by the information acquisition unit 25a to the home appliance 1 (step S203). Next, the communication unit 13 of the household electrical appliance 1 receives the property map acquisition request transmitted by the control device 2 (step S221). Next, the communication unit 13 reads the property map from the property map storage unit 12 (step S222). Next, the communication unit 13 transmits the property map read from the property map storage unit 12 to the control device 2 (step S223). Next, the communication unit 28 of the control device 2 receives the property map transmitted by the home appliance 1 and outputs the received property map to the information acquisition unit 25a (step S204). The information acquisition unit 25a stores the standard information, combination information, and property map in an internal memory.
- the integrated information creation unit 25b creates integrated information based on the standard information, combination information, and property map stored in the internal memory (step S205).
- the integrated information creation unit 25b integrates the standard information, the combination information, and the property map with the setting items and the setting values as keys with the combination information as an axis.
- the access rule and the state change notification give priority to property map information.
- the setting confirmation flag and the dependency destination setting item are displayed in the combination information! / ⁇ !, it is assumed that the setting check can be performed appropriately, and the dependency destination setting item does not exist.
- a record number is assigned so that it is unique for each model information and version information at the time of integration.
- the dependency destination record number and set value width are information not included in the standard information, combination information, and property map, and are not specified at step S205.
- the setting confirmation flag of the combination information is set not to perform setting confirmation, and the dependency destination setting item of the setting item is set to be dependent only on the setting item. Therefore, the setting confirmation flag of the setting item of the dependency destination may be set not to perform setting confirmation at the stage of creating the integrated information. In addition, it is also possible not to incorporate setting items (or specific setting values of setting items) that can be set or set in the integrated information without checking the settings in the combination information. ,.
- the integrated information creation unit 25b sets the MIN, MAX, and setting width of the setting item that is information that the setting value has a range, and determines the range in which the setting check is performed (step S20 6 ).
- the setting method here is, for example, that the values of MAX and MIN are set to be 80% of the values defined in the standard information, and the setting range is 1. As a result, the setting confirmation range can be limited, so that setting confirmation can be performed efficiently and useless communication can be suppressed.
- values of standard information may be used as they are.
- the information acquisition unit 25a uses the communication unit 28 to determine the status of the home appliance 1 (for each setting item) for the setting item for which the setting value of the setting item can be acquired by the integrated information access rule. Get the setting value. Specifically, the information acquisition unit 25a creates a device state acquisition request, and the communication unit 28 transmits the device state acquisition request created by the information acquisition unit 25a to the household electrical appliance 1 (step S207). The information acquisition unit 25a can acquire set values. Create a device status acquisition request for each effective setting item.
- the communication unit 13 of the home appliance 1 receives the device status acquisition request transmitted by the control device 2 (step S224).
- the communication unit 13 reads out the current device state (setting value of each setting item) of the home appliance 1 from the device state storage unit 14 (step S225). Here, only setting values that can be acquired by the control device 2 are read out.
- the communication unit 13 transmits the device state read from the device state storage unit 14 to the control device 2 (step S226).

- the state acquisition determination unit 25c determines whether or not the device state is acquired by the information acquisition unit 25a (step S209). If it is determined by the status acquisition determination unit 25c that the device status (setting value of each setting item) of the household electrical appliance 1 has been acquired (YES in step S209), the device status information creation unit 25d is acquired by the information acquisition unit 25a. The device status (setting value of each setting item) of the household electrical appliance 1 is stored in the internal memory as device status information (step S210).
- the integrated information creating unit 25b determines that the setting item is mounted on the home appliance 1 and is a setting item, and deletes the setting item from the integrated information (step S211). Note that the acquisition process may be repeated a plurality of times when it is determined that the power has not been acquired. Further, at this stage, the integrated information may be updated due to the disappearance of the dependency as described above.
- the information acquisition unit 25a determines whether or not the device state acquisition has been completed for all setting items for which setting values can be acquired (step S212). If it is determined that acquisition of the device status is complete for all the setting items (NO in step S212), the process returns to step S207 to complete the acquisition of the status of home appliance 1. Repeat the process. If it is determined that the device status has been acquired for all setting items (YES in step S212), the process ends. [0067] As described above, by acquiring the device status of the household electrical appliance 1, it is possible to collect information for reset processing, and determine whether the setting item is installed in the household electrical appliance 1 or not. Can also be done.
- the setting items that can be determined to be installed in the home appliance 1 are written in the function information storage unit 22 as function information, and the function information data is stored when the setting check data creation processing unit 25 creates the setting check data. Don't create it. In this way, information can be collected even for setting items that are not checked for settings.
- the acquisition of the device status (setting value of each setting item) of home appliance 1 may be used only to determine whether the setting item is installed on home appliance 1 or not. By skipping the acquisition of the device status of 1, it is possible to improve the efficiency of setting confirmation such as reducing the setting confirmation time.
