- the controller 33a refers to the time data of two overlapping driving reservations stored in the storage unit 35, selects the earlier stop time with priority, and stops the operation at that time.
- the instruction signal S33 is transmitted as follows. Receiving the instruction, the controller 33b performs control to stop the operation of the outdoor unit 40 so as to start the stop at an early stop time.
- step S14 the controllers 33a and 33b control to stop the operation at the reserved time (step S16). This is the end of the determination flow.
- a more comfortable temperature space can be provided, and convenience can be improved.
- the controllers 33a and 33b preferentially select the earlier start time in the two reservations, and start operation at the start time (step S13). This is based on the viewpoint that when the operation time zones of the air conditioner overlap, the earlier start time most reflects the user's intention regarding the operation start.
- a driving reservation is set from both the attached remote controller and the mobile terminal 16, and driving is performed with two reservations. Assume that the time is partially overlapped. Of the two start times (remote control: time t1, portable terminal: time t2), the controller 33a preferentially selects the earlier start time (t1), and starts operation at the selected start time (t1). Do. Therefore, in the case of the example shown in FIG. 17, the operation is started in the reserved operation mode at the earlier time t1.
- the controller 33a preferentially selects an earlier stop time out of the two stop times, and stops the operation at the stop time (step S15). This is based on the viewpoint that when the operation time zones of the air conditioner overlap, the earlier stop time most reflects the user's intention regarding the operation stop.
- the later stop time is set to be extremely later than the earlier stop time. In such a case, it is often obvious that this later stop time is set due to a user error. At this time, if priority is given to the later stop time, the operation is continued until the later stop time, and eventually wasteful power is consumed due to wasteful operation. Therefore, from the viewpoint of minimizing useless driving due to a user's error setting, giving priority to the earlier stop time as described above places more importance on the user's viewpoint.
- the controller 33a has two stop times. Among them, the earlier stop time (t3) is preferentially selected. Then, the operation is stopped at the selected stop time (t3) (step S15). Therefore, in the air conditioner shown in FIG. 17, the reserved operation mode stops at an earlier time t3.

Furthermore, the controller 33a updates the time until the start of operation stored in the storage unit 35 so that the operation of the air conditioner can be started at a time after the elapse of a predetermined time from the time when the inquiry is received. That is, the time until the start of operation stored in the storage unit 35 is updated 30 minutes later, 29 minutes later... 15 minutes later (step S67). For example, when “10 minutes” have elapsed from the time when the reservation signal 30 minutes before the operation start time is received from the server device 22, the controller 33 a stores the storage unit so as to start the operation after 20 minutes. The time until the start of operation stored in 35 is updated.
- the server device 22 determines whether or not the reservation is correctly set based on the time of the timer 36 of the air conditioner 12-1 (step S68).

The setting signal to be instructed is received. And controller 33a, 33b stores the content of the setting signal in the memory
- the server device 22 transmits a reservation signal for starting or stopping after a predetermined time to the air conditioner 12-1 of the main body from a predetermined time before. (Step S64, Step S72). Therefore, the air conditioner 12-1 that has received the reservation signal before a predetermined time can start and stop operation accurately according to the reserved set time even if the server device 22 is congested. In addition, since it is possible to avoid communication when the server device 22 is congested, it is also effective in reducing the load on the server device 22.

Abstract
Description
家電機器。
従来技術に係る家電機器のための遠隔制御システムは、重複予約をいかに処理するかについて解決策を提示するものではない。例えば、特許文献1に係る遠隔制御システムは、家電機器に付属するリモートコントローラと、インターネットに接続可能な携帯端末との、いずれからも重複して予約がされた場合については何ら触れていない。
1-1-1.家電システムの全体構成
図1を用いて、実施の形態1に係る家電システムの構成について説明する。図1に示すように、実施の形態1に係る家電システム10は、携帯端末16等によって、複数の家電機器を制御するシステムである。本実施の形態では、複数の家電機器として、3つの空気調和機12-1~12-3、及び炊飯器13が含まれている。
無線アダプタ14は、また、空気調和機12-1~12-3の識別情報(例えば、製造番号や型番等)を空気調和機12-1~12-3の制御部から取得し、ゲートウェイ装置18に送信する。なお、無線アダプタ14は、空気調和機12-1~12-3に一体に設けられるものであってもよい。また無線アダプタ14は、複数の空気調和機12-1~12-3のいずれにも接続できるように空気調和機12-1~12-3に対して着脱可能に設けられるものであってもよい。本実施の形態1に係る炊飯器13は、例えば、炊飯器13本体に内蔵される一体型の無線アダプタ(図示せず)により、ゲートウェイ装置18と通信する。空気調和機12-1~12-3の夫々の制御部については後で説明する。
次に、図2を用いて、実施の形態1に係る空気調和機の構成を説明する。ここでは、図1における空気調和機12-1を例に取り挙げる。なお、図2において、冷凍サイクルに関する構成は省略されている。
次に、実施の形態1に係る空気調和機に対する、携帯端末によるコントロール設定について説明する。以下では、空気調和機12-1~12-3の設定温度等について、携帯端末16のタッチパネル16aを用いて、付属のリモートコントローラと同様のコントロールを行う場合の設定(リモコンモード)を説明する。なお、ここでの携帯端末16は、タッチパネル16aを備えたスマートフォン等であって、既に空気調和機12-1~12-3に対する操作プログラムがサーバ装置22からインストールされて起動された状態であるとする。
次に、実施の形態1に係る空気調和機12-1におけるカレンダ予約動作について説明する。
1-3-1.カレンダ予約動作の設定
図11~図15を用いて、実施の形態1に係る空気調和機におけるカレンダ予約動作の設定について説明する。以下では、携帯端末16のタッチパネル16aを介する設定を例として取り挙げる。なお、ここでの携帯端末16は、タッチパネル16aを備えたスマートフォン等であって、既に空気調和機12-1に対する操作プログラムがサーバ装置22からインストールされて起動された状態であるものとする。

前述のように、実施の形態1に係る家電機器及び家電システムでは、空気調和機に付属するリモートコントローラ及び携帯端末16のいずれからも予約運転が設定され、且つ、重複する運転時間がある場合、コントローラ33a、33bは、二つの予約において早い方の開始時刻を優先して選択し、その開始時刻にて運転開始を行う(ステップS13)。これは、空気調和機の運転時間帯が重複する場合、運転開始に関しては、早い開始時刻の方が、ユーザの意思を最も反映しているという観点に基づくものである。
従来の(例えば、特許文献1に記載の)遠隔制御システムは、メニュー画面に事前に入力された時刻になると、メニュー画面に事前に名称コード等が入力された機器に対して運転開始信号若しくは運転停止信号を送信する。しかしながら、従来の遠隔制御システムでは、信号が送信されるべき運転開始時刻又は運転停止時刻にて、サーバ装置が混雑している場合、予約された時刻に運転信号又は停止信号が送信できないことがある。そうすると、予約された時刻に機器が正常に動作又は停止しないおそれがある。

2-2-1.カレンダ予約動作の設定
