The environment adjustment unit 1 includes a sound adjustment unit 1h such as a speaker in addition to the environment adjustment unit 1 of FIG. Correspondingly, the environment extraction unit 5 in FIG. 5A includes a sound extraction unit 5h such as a microphone.

The environment adjustment unit 1 operates according to a control signal from the illumination control unit 2 (see FIG. 1). The environment adjusted by the environment adjustment unit 1 is at least one of room temperature, humidity, illuminance, chromaticity, air volume, odor, light distribution, and sound.

The illumination control unit 2 is configured by a microcomputer that performs predetermined processing according to a program such as a CPU. The lighting control unit 2 controls the indoor environment by controlling the environment adjustment unit 1 in accordance with an operation on the operation unit 3, a user's action or an attribute. At this time, the illumination control unit 2 refers to the environment pattern (first environment pattern) corresponding to the action scene stored in the action-environment database 6. The illumination control unit 2 may refer to an environment pattern (second environment pattern) corresponding to the attribute stored in the attribute-environment database 7.

Furthermore, the illumination control unit 2 includes an environmental illumination control unit 2a, a scene determination unit 2b, a satisfaction determination unit 2c, and a power extraction unit 2d. These environmental illumination control unit 2a, scene determination unit 2b, satisfaction determination unit 2c, and power extraction unit 2d are realized by the CPU executing a program.

The display unit 8 is realized by an indoor wall display or a television. The display unit 8 presents various information to the user. The display unit 8 displays various information according to the control of the illumination control unit 2. In particular, the display unit 8 displays the user satisfaction level and the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1 as various devices in association with each first environment pattern (display unit).

The operation unit 3 is, for example, a switch group exposed from the wall surface of the indoor space where the environment adjustment unit 1 is installed. The switch group of the operation unit 3 is operated, for example, when inputting user attribute information (attribute input means). The attribute information may include at least one of the user's age, sex, race, eye disease, and coldness.

Of course, the operation unit 3 may include various environmental pattern settings of the environmental control system and switches for turning on and off the environmental adjustment unit 1. In particular, the operation unit 3 is operated when selecting any one of the plurality of environment patterns displayed on the display unit 8 (selection means).

The movement sensor 4 detects the movement of the user in the space where the environment adjustment unit 1 is installed. The motion detected by the motion sensor 4 is acquired by the illumination control unit 2.

The motion sensor 4 may be a camera 41 as shown in FIG. As the camera 41, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, a camera having a vertical detection range of 45 degrees and a distance capable of detecting a user's movement of about 5 m can be used. The motion sensor 4 may include a thermoviewer, a human sensor, and a microphone that detects a user's voice.

The lighting control unit 2 extracts the user's motion according to the output of the motion sensor 4 (motion extraction means). This operation includes the state where the user is sitting, the state of the user's line of sight, the sound of the user himself / herself and the surroundings of the user, and the like.

The lighting control unit 2 determines the action scene of the user based on the extracted user action (scene determination means). The lighting control unit 2 determines, for example, any one of a study scene, a danran scene, a video viewing scene, a relaxation scene, and a work scene as the action scene.

For example, when a voice like a sigh of the user is detected, and the user is sitting by the camera 41 and there is little movement, the lighting control unit 2 determines that the current action scene is a relaxation scene. In addition, the illumination control unit 2 can determine a study scene, a full-scale scene, a movie appreciation scene, and a work scene according to the voice, the user's action, and the user's line of sight.

In addition, the illumination control unit 2 may input the user's attribute according to the output of the camera 41 or the microphone constituting the motion sensor 4 (attribute input means). The lighting control unit 2 determines the age, sex, and race according to the video and audio.

The behavior-environment database (first storage means) 6 stores a behavior scene determined by the lighting control unit 2 and a first environment pattern associated with the behavior scene. This first light distribution pattern is registered in advance as a standard environment pattern that increases the satisfaction of the user specified in the action scene.

For example, for each action scene as shown in FIG. 4, the environment state (first environment pattern) relating to air quality (room temperature, humidity, air volume, smell) and light (illuminance, chromaticity, light distribution) is the action-environment database 6. Is remembered. Specifically, for each action scene, room temperature, humidity, air volume, odor as preferable air quality, illuminance, chromaticity, and light distribution as preferable light are registered.

That is, in the example of FIG. 4, environmental information preferable for the action scene is stored in correspondence with the units 1a to 1g of the environment adjustment unit 1 and the units 5a to 5g of the environment extraction unit 5. For example, when a studying action scene is determined as the action scene, the illumination control unit 2 takes out a first environment pattern corresponding to the studying scene. The illumination control unit 2 controls each part 1a to 1h in the environment adjustment unit 1 according to the extracted first environment pattern, and adjusts air quality and light (environment adjustment unit).

For example, when the amount of activity of the user is high or when there is a high possibility of shifting to an operation involving heat generation by the user, the lighting control unit 2 determines that the work scene. The lighting control unit 2 reads the first environment pattern corresponding to the work scene from the behavior-environment database 6. As a result, the illumination control unit 2 extracts optimal environment information from the behavior-environment database 6 that lowers the room temperature or lowers the sensory temperature.

Furthermore, the lighting control unit 2 determines that it is a study scene when performing an action such as sitting at the desk. The lighting control unit 2 reads the first environment pattern corresponding to the study scene from the behavior-environment database 6. As a result, the lighting control unit 2 illuminates the desk with high illuminance, and simultaneously extracts environmental information from the behavior-environment database 6 that has the optimum room temperature, humidity, air volume, and odor so as to achieve the optimum temperature for study.

The attribute-environment database (second storage means) 7 stores the attribute information input by the illumination control unit 2 and the second environment pattern corresponding to the attribute information in association with each other. This second environment pattern is registered in advance as a pattern for controlling the environment adjustment unit 1 so as to increase the satisfaction degree of the user specified by the attribute information.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, for each age of teens to 70s as attribute information, an environmental condition (first level) regarding air quality (room temperature, humidity, air volume, smell) and light (illuminance, chromaticity, light distribution). 2 environment patterns) are stored in the attribute-environment database 7. Specifically, for each attribute information, room temperature, humidity, air volume, odor as preferable air quality, illuminance, chromaticity, and light distribution as preferable light are registered.

That is, in the example of FIG. 5, environmental information preferable for attributes is stored corresponding to the respective units 1a to 1g of the environment adjusting unit 1 and the respective units 5a to 5g of the environment extracting unit 5. The environment information corresponding to this attribute may include at least one information of room temperature, humidity, air volume, odor, illuminance, chromaticity, and light distribution.

For example, when the age of 20's is input as the attribute information, the lighting control unit 2 takes out the second environment pattern corresponding to the 20's. The illumination control unit 2 controls the environment adjustment unit 1 according to the extracted second environment pattern (environment adjustment unit). Thereby, the illumination control part 2 controls the environment adjustment part 1 so that it may be suitable for attribute information, such as 20's, and improves a user's satisfaction.

The illumination control unit 2 performs, for example, an attribute input of the age of 20 in the operation unit 3. In response to this, the lighting control unit 2 extracts the second environment pattern as the optimum environment information of the air quality and the light associated with the twenties from the attribute-environment database 7.

For example, an elderly person has a strong tendency to show discomfort when the brightness is low. For this reason, it is good also as a 2nd environmental pattern which sets illumination intensity high in all the action scenes. That is, the illumination control unit 2 corrects the first environment pattern with the second environment pattern corresponding to the input attribute information. And the illumination control part 2 controls the environment adjustment part 1 so that it may become the said corrected 1st environment pattern.

Note that user attributes include not only age but also gender, race, eye disease, coldness and the like. Corresponding to these attributes, a second environment pattern as optimum environment information is registered in the attribute-environment database 7. Thereby, the illumination control unit 2 controls the environment adjustment unit 1 based on the second environment pattern every time attribute information such as age, sex, race, eye disease, and coldness is input, and the first environment pattern is set. Can be corrected.

As described above, the lighting control unit 2 may correct the first environment pattern controlled by the action scene based on the second environment pattern. Thereby, the illumination control part 2 controls the environment adjustment part 1 so that it may suit not only an action scene but a user's attribute, and improves the user's satisfaction of the said attribute. The optimum air quality and lighting environment information such as “◯” and “Δ” shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 may be the air quality adjustment degree and the light adjustment degree.

The lighting control unit 2 extracts a satisfaction degree with respect to a result of the control of the environment adjustment unit 1 after the control of the environment adjustment unit 1 by the first environment pattern and the second environment pattern (satisfaction extraction unit). At this time, the illumination control unit 2 performs parameter extraction representing the user's facial expression by the camera 41, for example. The lighting control unit 2 calculates the user's satisfaction level using a relational expression between the satisfaction level and facial expression parameters such as the degree of looseness of the mouth corner.

Thereby, the illumination control unit 2 can obtain the relaxation satisfaction expressed by, for example, 0% to 100%. Moreover, the illumination control part 2 may calculate satisfaction from the psychological state extracted from the facial expression parameter. Furthermore, the illumination control unit 2 may detect a user's brain wave, heart rate, movement, sweating, body temperature, body odor, and the like as the satisfaction.

Next, in the environment control system described above, the relationship between air quality and lighting as variables included in the behavior-environment database 6 and the attribute-environment database 7, sound, and user's perceived temperature will be described. Note that the user's sensible temperature is arbitrary depending on which sensible temperature the user is satisfied with. However, the user's satisfaction can be improved by controlling the environment adjusting unit 1 to change the temperature of the user's experience.

∙ By changing the air quality, the sensory temperature can be raised or lowered. For example, the higher the room temperature, the higher the sensible temperature. In addition, the higher the humidity, the higher the temperature that can be experienced. Furthermore, the greater the air volume, the lower the sensible temperature. Conversely, the lower the room temperature, the lower the sensible temperature. In addition, the lower the humidity, the lower the sensible temperature. In addition, the lower the air volume, the higher the sensible temperature. In addition, the scent of mint has the effect of lowering the temperature of sensation.

Also, changing the light can increase or decrease the sensible temperature. For example, the higher the illuminance, the higher the sensed temperature. In addition, the greater the amount of light that enters the field of view, the higher the perceived temperature. Furthermore, warm-colored light increases the temperature of the body. Conversely, the lower the illuminance, the lower the sensible temperature. In addition, as the amount of light entering the field of view decreases, the sensible temperature also decreases. In addition, blue and white lights will lower the temperature.

As an example, as shown in FIG. 6, it has been found that the perceived temperature decreases as the light becomes warmer, white, or blue. When blue light is used, there is a psychologically refreshing effect, but the sensible temperature decreases. In order to obtain a refreshing feeling of blue light at the same sensible temperature, it is necessary to change the environment by controlling the environment adjusting unit 1 so as to increase the sensible temperature by changing the air quality and sound.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), it is irradiated with blue or white light L1, and when the room temperature is low 15 degrees, it feels cold. However, as shown in FIG. 7B, the blue or white light L1 is changed to a warm color light L2. As a result, the user can increase the sensible temperature by the warm color light L2. By using warm color light in this way, it is possible to change to a comfortable environment even when the room temperature is relatively low. Furthermore, when it is not desired to raise the room temperature in consideration of power consumption, it can be changed to warm color light L2.

Furthermore, by changing the sound, the sensory temperature can be raised or lowered. For example, in the case of Japanese, wind chimes can lower the sensible temperature.

Next, display contents for displaying the user satisfaction and the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1 for each environment pattern in the display unit 8 in the environment control system described above will be described.

FIG. 8 shows the relationship between environment information as an adjustable variable and the first environment pattern. The lighting control unit 2 extracts a standard first environment pattern 100 having a relatively high degree of satisfaction according to the action scene and attribute from the action-environment database 6 and the attribute-environment database 7. In this standard first environment pattern 100, for example, it is assumed that an action scene is a study and an attribute is set in advance as a man in his 30s. The illumination control unit 2 operates the environment adjustment unit 1 according to each environment information included in the first environment pattern 100.

Next, the lighting control unit 2 extracts the user satisfaction. When the actual action scene is a study and the attribute is a man in his 30s, the first environment pattern 100 is relatively satisfactory. As shown in FIG. 8, the first environment pattern 100 indicates that the indoor environment with high illuminance and chromaticity is high in satisfaction for men in their 30s who are studying.

The illumination control unit 2 controls the environment adjustment unit 1 so as to gradually change the environment pattern over a plurality of times in the first environment pattern 100 in order to obtain higher satisfaction. Each time the environment control pattern is changed, the illumination control unit 2 extracts the satisfaction level and the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1 for the environment pattern (power consumption extraction unit).

Thereby, the lighting control unit 2 can acquire the environment pattern 101 having the highest satisfaction level that cannot be specified by the action scene and the attribute. Furthermore, the illumination control unit 2 can acquire the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1 in the environment pattern.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9, in the first environment pattern 100, the room temperature, humidity, illuminance, chromaticity, air volume, odor, light distribution, and sound are adjusted to obtain satisfaction for each environment pattern. be able to. That is, with respect to the standard environmental pattern 100 satisfied by men in their 30s in the study scene, the room temperature, humidity, illuminance, chromaticity, air volume, odor, light distribution, and sound are further adjusted to achieve satisfaction. Obtainable.

In FIG. 9, each circle corresponds to each environment pattern adjusted with respect to the standard environment pattern 100. In FIG. 9, the environmental pattern (101) with high satisfaction is represented by H1. H2 is an environmental pattern having the second highest satisfaction level after the environmental pattern (101) of H1. M is an environmental pattern having the second highest satisfaction level after the environmental pattern of H2. L is an environmental pattern having the second highest satisfaction level after the environmental pattern of M. The environmental patterns of H2, M, and L are environmental patterns in which room temperature, humidity, illuminance, chromaticity, air volume, odor, light distribution, and sound are adjusted with respect to the environmental pattern (101) of H1, and satisfaction is obtained. It is a result.

The lighting control unit 2 acquires the power consumption of the environment adjusting unit 1 when adjusting the room temperature, humidity, illuminance, chromaticity, air volume, odor, light distribution, and sound for each environmental pattern shown in FIG. . Thereby, the illumination control unit 2 can acquire the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1 for each environment pattern included in the standard environment pattern 100.

When the illumination control unit 2 obtains the satisfaction level and the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1 for each environment pattern included in the standard environment pattern 100, the illumination control unit 2 creates display data for displaying as shown in FIG. To do. This display data is supplied to the display unit 8.

FIG. 10 shows a stereoscopic image 110 whose height increases as the degree of satisfaction increases. In this stereoscopic image 110, a range having the same satisfaction is divided by contour lines. The stereoscopic image 110 includes three

high satisfaction areas

111, 112, and 113 with high satisfaction. The high satisfaction area 111 represents the environmental pattern of H1 in FIG. The

high satisfaction areas

112 and 113 represent the environmental pattern of H2 in FIG.

Furthermore, in the stereoscopic image 110, 8.0 kw / h is written in the high satisfaction area 111 as the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1 when the environment pattern is H1. Similarly, in the high satisfaction area 112, 6.0 kw / h is written in parallel as the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1. Similarly, 7.0 kw / h is written in the high satisfaction area 113 as the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1.

FIG. 11 as another display example shows a stereoscopic image 110 having a different inclination in the depth direction from the stereoscopic image 110 of FIG.

Here, even if the environmental pattern is adjusted according to the user's action scene and attribute, a plurality of environmental patterns having a high degree of satisfaction for the user are extracted as local maximum values like the environmental pattern H1 in FIG. There is a case. The illumination control unit 2 acquires the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1 for each environment pattern, and displays a stereoscopic image 110 as shown in FIGS.

Thereby, the user can select any one of the environmental patterns displayed on the display unit 8 by operating the operation unit 3. In addition, it is possible to select an environment pattern after selecting an environment pattern with a high degree of satisfaction, reproducing the environment, and experiencing the environment pattern.

Next, the operation procedure in the environmental control system as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

First, in step S <b> 1, the illumination control unit 2 extracts a user's movement according to a signal from the motion sensor 4.

In the next step S2, the illumination control unit 2 determines the action scene of the user from the movement extracted in step S1 (scene determination means). Thereby, the lighting control unit 2 can obtain a standard first environment pattern corresponding to the action scene from the action-environment database 6.

In the next step S3, the illumination control unit 2 inputs user attribute information through an input operation of the operation unit 3 or the like. The illumination control unit 2 takes out the second environment pattern corresponding to the input attribute information from the attribute-environment database 7.

In the next step S4, the lighting control unit 2 controls the environment adjusting unit 1 to adjust the indoor environment. At this time, the illumination control unit 2 corrects the first environment pattern with the second environment pattern. Then, the lighting control unit 2 extracts the current indoor environment by a signal from the environment extraction unit 5, and adjusts the environment so that the current indoor environment becomes environment information of the first environment pattern corrected by the second environment pattern. The unit 1 is operated (environment adjustment means).

In the next step S5, the illumination control unit 2 extracts the current indoor environment by a signal from the environment extraction unit 5.

In the next step S6, the illumination control unit 2 extracts the power consumption of the environment adjustment unit 1 (power consumption extraction means).

In the next step S7, the illumination control unit 2 extracts the user satisfaction after step S4. At this time, the illumination control unit 2 extracts facial expression parameters of the user using image data of the camera 41 and the like included in the motion sensor 4. Furthermore, the illumination control unit 2 extracts the user satisfaction based on facial expression parameters, brain waves, body temperature, heart rate variability, body odor, body movement, and the like.

In the next step S8, the illumination control unit 2 determines whether the environment in step S5, the power consumption in step S6, and the number of satisfaction extractions in step S7 have reached predetermined values. This predetermined value only needs to be able to obtain an environmental pattern with a higher degree of satisfaction within the standard first environmental pattern.

If the number of extractions has not reached the predetermined value, the process returns to step S4. As a result, the illumination control unit 2 adjusts room temperature, humidity, illuminance, chromaticity, air volume, odor, light distribution, and sound within the standard first environment pattern, and performs the processing of steps S5 to S7. repeat. If it is determined that the number of extractions has reached a predetermined value, the process proceeds to step S9.

In step S9, the illumination control unit 2 displays the stereoscopic image 110 including the power consumption and the satisfaction degree in each first environment pattern extracted in steps S5 to S7 among the standard first environment patterns.

In the next step S10, the illumination control unit 2 selects any one of the plurality of first environment patterns displayed in step S9.

As described above, this environment control system controls the environment adjusting unit 1 so as to be an environment pattern included in the first environment pattern. And the illumination control part 2 extracts the satisfaction degree of each environmental pattern, and the illumination control part 2 extracts the power consumption of the various apparatuses in each environmental pattern. The display unit 8 displays the satisfaction level and the power consumption in association with each environmental pattern. Thereby, the user can operate the operation unit 3 to select a preferred environment pattern from among the first environment patterns.

In addition, according to this environmental control system, power consumption is displayed in addition to satisfaction for each environmental pattern, so that the user can actually experience the environmental pattern of the standard first environmental patterns, and low power consumption. The environment can be selected in consideration of the above.

Furthermore, according to this environmental control system, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the degree of satisfaction and power consumption can be described for each environmental pattern in a visually easy-to-understand manner, and a plurality of environments where the user is satisfied can be listed. it can.

The above embodiment is an example of the present invention. For this reason, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made depending on the design and the like as long as the technical idea according to the present invention is not deviated from this embodiment. Of course, it is possible to change.
