Abstract

 With conventional air conditioners there is a risk that, when the operation setting of the air conditioner has been modified using a terminal device by a user who has gone out somewhere, if there is a different user in the air-conditioned space where the air conditioner is placed, said different user will mistakenly think that the air conditioner has malfunctioned. If an operation modification instruction is supplied from a terminal device that is not a remote control belonging to an air conditioner (S1: Yes), an audio notification control unit (audio notification means) of the air conditioner responds to the operation modification instruction supplied from the terminal device, and notifies, by means of a message, that the operation modification instruction has been supplied from the terminal device (S3).

 以下、本発明の実施形態に係る空気調和機1について説明する。 Hereinafter, the air conditioner 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
<空気調和機の全体構成>
 図1に示すように、本実施形態の空気調和機1は、室内に設置される室内機2と、室外に設置される室外機3とを備えている。そして、空気調和機1は、圧縮機10と、四方弁11と、室外熱交換器12と、膨張弁(減圧機構)13と、室内熱交換器14とを接続した冷媒回路を備えている。冷媒回路において、圧縮機10の吐出口に四方弁11を介して室外熱交換器12が接続され、その室外熱交換器12に膨張弁13が接続される。そして、膨張弁13に室内熱交換器14の一端が接続され、その室内熱交換器14の他端に四方弁11を介して圧縮機10の吸込口が接続される。
<Overall configuration of air conditioner>
As shown in FIG. 1, the air conditioner 1 of this embodiment includes an indoor unit 2 installed indoors and an outdoor unit 3 installed outdoor. The air conditioner 1 includes a refrigerant circuit in which a compressor 10, a four-way valve 11, an outdoor heat exchanger 12, an expansion valve (decompression mechanism) 13, and an indoor heat exchanger 14 are connected. In the refrigerant circuit, an outdoor heat exchanger 12 is connected to the discharge port of the compressor 10 via a four-way valve 11, and an expansion valve 13 is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 12. One end of the indoor heat exchanger 14 is connected to the expansion valve 13, and the suction port of the compressor 10 is connected to the other end of the indoor heat exchanger 14 via the four-way valve 11.
 空気調和機1は、自動運転、冷房運転、暖房運転、除湿運転及び送風運転のいずれかの運転が可能であって、空気調和機1に付属されたリモコン4や、ユーザの端末装置5によって、いずれかの運転を選択して運転開始操作を行ったり、運転切換操作や運転停止操作を行ったりすることができる。ユーザの端末装置5は、例えばスマートフォンなどの液晶端末であって、ネットワークを介して、空気調和機1に対して運転変更命令(運転開始操作、運転停止操作、室内温度の設定温度等)を供給することができる。 The air conditioner 1 can be operated in any of automatic operation, cooling operation, heating operation, dehumidification operation, and air blowing operation. The remote controller 4 attached to the air conditioner 1 or the user terminal device 5 One of the operations can be selected to perform an operation start operation, or an operation switching operation or an operation stop operation can be performed. The user terminal device 5 is a liquid crystal terminal such as a smartphone, for example, and supplies an operation change command (operation start operation, operation stop operation, set temperature of the room temperature, etc.) to the air conditioner 1 via the network. can do.
 冷房運転および除湿運転では、図示実線矢印で示すように、圧縮機10から吐出された冷媒が四方弁11から室外熱交換器12、膨張弁13、室内熱交換器14へと順に流れ、室内熱交換器14を経た冷媒が四方弁11を通って圧縮機10に戻る冷房サイクルまたは除湿サイクルが形成される。すなわち、室外熱交換器12が凝縮器、室内熱交換器14が蒸発器として機能する。 In the cooling operation and the dehumidifying operation, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 10 sequentially flows from the four-way valve 11 to the outdoor heat exchanger 12, the expansion valve 13, and the indoor heat exchanger 14 as indicated by the solid line arrows in the figure. A cooling cycle or a dehumidification cycle is formed in which the refrigerant having passed through the exchanger 14 returns to the compressor 10 through the four-way valve 11. That is, the outdoor heat exchanger 12 functions as a condenser and the indoor heat exchanger 14 functions as an evaporator.
 一方、暖房運転では、四方弁11が切換わることにより、図示破線矢印で示すように、圧縮機10から吐出される冷媒が四方弁11から室内熱交換器14、膨張弁13、室外熱交換器12へと順に流れ、室外熱交換器12を経た冷媒が四方弁11を通って圧縮機10に戻る暖房サイクルが形成される。すなわち、室内熱交換器14が凝縮器、室外熱交換器12が蒸発器として機能する。 On the other hand, in the heating operation, when the four-way valve 11 is switched, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 10 is transferred from the four-way valve 11 to the indoor heat exchanger 14, the expansion valve 13, and the outdoor heat exchanger as indicated by broken arrows in the figure. A heating cycle is formed in which the refrigerant flows in sequence to 12 and the refrigerant that has passed through the outdoor heat exchanger 12 returns to the compressor 10 through the four-way valve 11. That is, the indoor heat exchanger 14 functions as a condenser, and the outdoor heat exchanger 12 functions as an evaporator.
 室内機2内には、室内熱交換器14に対向した室内ファン16が配置される。室内機2の吹出口には、上下方向について吹き出し方向を変更する上下フラップが配置される。そして、室内機2には、図1に示すように、例えば所定情報を音声で報知するスピーカー20と、例えばLED素子を有する表示部21(表示装置)と、室内(空気調和機1が配置される空調空間)にいる人を検知する人検知センサ25(人検知手段)とが設けられている。 In the indoor unit 2, an indoor fan 16 facing the indoor heat exchanger 14 is disposed. At the outlet of the indoor unit 2, an upper and lower flap that changes the blowing direction in the vertical direction is arranged. In the indoor unit 2, as shown in FIG. 1, for example, a speaker 20 for notifying predetermined information by voice, a display unit 21 (display device) having, for example, an LED element, and an indoor unit (the air conditioner 1 are arranged). And a human detection sensor 25 (human detection means) for detecting a person in the air-conditioned space.
 図2に示すように、空気調和機1の制御部30には、スピーカー20と、表示部21と、人検知センサ25と、空気調和機1に付属されたリモコン4とが接続される。また、空気調和機1の制御部30は、ユーザの端末装置5から供給された運転変更命令に基づいて、空気調和機1の運転を変更する。ユーザの端末装置5は、例えばスマートフォンなどの液晶端末であって、ネットワークを介して、空気調和機1に対して運転変更命令(運転開始操作、運転停止操作、室内温度の設定温度等)を供給することができる。したがって、制御部30は、リモコン4やユーザの端末装置5からの指令(運転開始操作、運転停止操作、室内温度の設定温度等)に基づいて、空気調和機1の運転を制御する。このように、本実施形態の空気調和機1は、リモコン4から供給される運転変更命令(運転開始操作、運転停止操作、室内温度の設定温度等)に基づいて運転状態が変更されるだけでなく、ユーザの端末装置5から供給される運転変更命令(運転開始操作、運転停止操作、室内温度の設定温度等)に基づいて運転状態が変更されるものである。 As shown in FIG. 2, a speaker 20, a display unit 21, a human detection sensor 25, and a remote control 4 attached to the air conditioner 1 are connected to the control unit 30 of the air conditioner 1. The control unit 30 of the air conditioner 1 changes the operation of the air conditioner 1 based on the operation change command supplied from the user terminal device 5. The user terminal device 5 is a liquid crystal terminal such as a smartphone, for example, and supplies an operation change command (operation start operation, operation stop operation, set temperature of the room temperature, etc.) to the air conditioner 1 via the network. can do. Therefore, the control unit 30 controls the operation of the air conditioner 1 based on commands (operation start operation, operation stop operation, indoor temperature set temperature, etc.) from the remote controller 4 or the user terminal device 5. As described above, the air conditioner 1 according to the present embodiment only changes the operation state based on the operation change command (operation start operation, operation stop operation, indoor temperature setting temperature, etc.) supplied from the remote controller 4. Instead, the operation state is changed based on an operation change command (operation start operation, operation stop operation, set temperature of the room temperature, etc.) supplied from the user terminal device 5.
 ここで、リモコン4には、空気調和機1が有する各機能の設定を変更する設定操作部6(設定手段)が設けられている。 Here, the remote controller 4 is provided with a setting operation unit 6 (setting means) for changing the setting of each function of the air conditioner 1.
 ユーザは、この設定操作部6を操作することによって、リモコン4から供給される運転変更命令(運転開始操作、運転停止操作、室内温度の設定温度等)に応答する応答報知を許可するか否かを選択できる。この応答報知は、音声応答報知と表示応答報知とに分かれる。音声応答報知には、例えばリモコン4から供給される運転変更命令の内容をメッセージで報知するメッセージ報知と、リモコン4から供給される運転変更命令に応答して、「ピッ」等の受信音を報知する受信音報知とが含まれる。メッセージ報知(音声応答報知)では、例えばリモコン4からの運転開始命令が供給される場合、運転開始命令に応答して、「運転が開始されました。」というメッセージがスピーカー20から報知される。また、表示応答報知は、リモコン4から供給される運転変更命令に応答して、表示部21(表示装置)のLED素子を点灯させるものである。ユーザは、リモコン4の設定操作部6を操作することによって、メッセージ報知、受信音報知、および表示応答報知のそれぞれの設定を個別に許可するか否か(入/切)を選択できる。よって、ユーザが、メッセージ報知、受信音報知、および表示応答報知が煩わしいと感じる場合には、メッセージ報知、受信音報知、および表示応答報知の設定をそれぞれ切とできる。なお、この空気調和機1では、メッセージ報知の設定が入でも受信音報知の設定が切である場合には、受信音報知およびメッセージ報知が禁止され、リモコン4から運転変更命令が供給されても、受信音報知およびメッセージ報知が行われない。 Whether or not the user permits response notification in response to an operation change command (operation start operation, operation stop operation, set temperature of the room temperature, etc.) supplied from the remote controller 4 by operating the setting operation unit 6 Can be selected. This response notification is divided into voice response notification and display response notification. For the voice response notification, for example, a message notification for notifying the contents of the operation change command supplied from the remote controller 4 in a message and a received sound such as “beep” in response to the operation change command supplied from the remote controller 4 are notified. Received sound notification. In the message notification (voice response notification), for example, when an operation start command is supplied from the remote controller 4, a message “Operation has started” is notified from the speaker 20 in response to the operation start command. Further, the display response notification is to turn on the LED element of the display unit 21 (display device) in response to an operation change command supplied from the remote controller 4. By operating the setting operation unit 6 of the remote controller 4, the user can select whether or not to individually permit setting of message notification, reception sound notification, and display response notification (ON / OFF). Therefore, when the user feels troublesome about the message notification, the reception sound notification, and the display response notification, the settings of the message notification, the reception sound notification, and the display response notification can be turned off, respectively. In this air conditioner 1, even if the message notification setting is turned on and the reception sound notification setting is off, reception sound notification and message notification are prohibited, and an operation change command is supplied from the remote controller 4. The reception sound notification and the message notification are not performed.
 空気調和機1の制御部30は、CPU、ROM、RAMなどの複数のハードウェアから構成されている。ROMには、制御部30の動作を制御する制御プログラムなどが格納されている。そして、この制御部30は、図2に示すように、報知制御部31(報知手段)を有する。 The control unit 30 of the air conditioner 1 includes a plurality of hardware such as a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM. The ROM stores a control program for controlling the operation of the control unit 30. And this control part 30 has the alerting | reporting control part 31 (notification means), as shown in FIG.
 この報知制御部31(報知手段)は、音声報知制御部32(音声報知手段)と、表示報知制御部33とを有する。音声報知制御部32では、例えば空気調和機1に供給される運転変更命令の内容をメッセージで報知するメッセージ報知と、空気調和機1に供給される運転変更命令に応答して、「ピッ」等の受信音を報知する受信音報知とを行うことが可能である。また、表示報知制御部33では、空気調和機1に供給される運転変更命令に応答して表示部21のLED素子を点灯させる表示応答報知を行うことが可能である。まず、音声報知制御部32について詳しく説明する。 The notification control unit 31 (notification unit) includes a voice notification control unit 32 (voice notification unit) and a display notification control unit 33. In the voice notification control unit 32, for example, in response to a message notification for notifying the contents of the operation change command supplied to the air conditioner 1 by a message and the operation change command supplied to the air conditioner 1, “pip” or the like It is possible to perform reception sound notification for notifying the received sound. In addition, the display notification control unit 33 can perform display response notification that turns on the LED elements of the display unit 21 in response to an operation change command supplied to the air conditioner 1. First, the voice notification control unit 32 will be described in detail.
 音声報知制御部32は、スピーカー20を介して受信音やメッセージを報知する。この音声報知制御部32は、受信音報知およびメッセージ報知の設定がそれぞれ入の場合において、リモコン4から運転変更命令(運転開始操作、運転停止操作、室内温度の設定温度等)が供給されると、その運転変更命令に応答して、例えば「ピッ」、「ピピッ」などの受信音(第2受信音)を報知する。そして、受信音(第2受信音)を報知したあとで、リモコン4から供給される運転変更命令の内容をメッセージで報知する。例えば、リモコン4から運転開始命令が供給された場合、音声報知制御部32は、「ピッ」という受信音(第2受信音)を報知したあとで、「運転が開始されました。」というメッセージを報知する。 The voice notification control unit 32 notifies the reception sound and message through the speaker 20. When the received sound notification and message notification settings are on, the voice notification control unit 32 is supplied with an operation change command (operation start operation, operation stop operation, set temperature of the room temperature, etc.) from the remote controller 4. In response to the operation change command, for example, a reception sound (second reception sound) such as “beep” or “beep” is notified. Then, after notifying the received sound (second received sound), the contents of the operation change command supplied from the remote controller 4 are notified by a message. For example, when an operation start command is supplied from the remote controller 4, the voice notification control unit 32 notifies the reception sound “second” (second reception sound) and then the message “Operation has started”. Is notified.
 一方、受信音報知の設定が入で且つメッセージ報知の設定が切の場合には、リモコン4から運転変更命令が供給されても、メッセージは報知されず、受信音(第2受信音)だけが報知される。また、受信音報知の設定が切の場合には、メッセージ報知の設定が入または切にかかわらず、リモコン4から運転変更命令が供給されても、受信音(第2受信音)およびメッセージは報知されない。 On the other hand, when the reception sound notification setting is on and the message notification setting is off, even if an operation change command is supplied from the remote controller 4, the message is not notified and only the reception sound (second reception sound) is received. Informed. In addition, when the reception sound notification setting is off, the reception sound (second reception sound) and the message are notified even if the operation change command is supplied from the remote controller 4 regardless of whether the message notification setting is on or off. Not.
 一方、音声報知制御部32は、端末装置5から運転変更命令(運転開始操作、運転停止操作、室内温度の設定温度等)が供給されると、その運転変更命令に応答して、例えば「ピッ」、「ピピッ」などの受信音(第1受信音)を報知する。そして、受信音(第1受信音)を報知したあとで、端末装置5から運転変更命令が供給されたことをメッセージで報知するメッセージ報知を行う。端末装置5から運転変更命令が供給されたことを報知するメッセージとは、例えば「スマートフォンから操作されました。」というメッセージである。 On the other hand, when the operation change command (operation start operation, operation stop operation, set temperature of the room temperature, etc.) is supplied from the terminal device 5, the voice notification control unit 32 responds to the operation change command, for example, “Pip”. ”,“ Beep ”, etc., is notified (first received sound). And after alerting | reporting a received sound (1st received sound), the message alerting | reporting which alert | reports with the message that the driving | running change command was supplied from the terminal device 5 is performed. The message notifying that the operation change command is supplied from the terminal device 5 is, for example, a message “Operated from a smartphone”.
 特に、端末装置5からの運転変更命令が運転開始命令または運転停止命令である場合には、音声報知制御部32は、その運転変更命令に応答して、例えば「ピッ」、「ピピッ」などの受信音(第1受信音)を報知したあとで、メッセージ報知として、端末装置5から運転変更命令が供給されたこと、およびその運転変更命令の内容を報知する。例えば、端末装置5から運転開始命令が供給された場合、音声報知制御部32は、「ピッ」という受信音(第1受信音)を報知したあとで、「スマートフォンから操作されました。運転を開始します。」というメッセージを報知する。ここで、「スマートフォンから操作されました。」という部分が、端末装置5から運転変更命令が供給されたことを示すメッセージであり、「運転を開始します。」という部分が運転変更命令の内容を示すメッセージである。したがって、端末装置5からの運転変更命令が運転開始命令または運転停止命令である場合には、メッセージには、端末装置5から供給される運転変更命令の内容が含まれる。なお、端末装置5からの運転変更命令が運転開始命令および運転停止命令以外の命令(室内温度の設定温度、室内温度の設定湿度、風向、風量、冷房運転や暖房運転などの運転モードの変更等)である場合、音声報知制御部32は、受信音(第1受信音)を報知したあとで、端末装置5から運転変更命令が供給されたことをメッセージで報知するが、その運転変更命令の内容までは報知しない。例えば、端末装置5から室内温度の設定温度変更命令が供給された場合、音声報知制御部32は、「ピッ」という受信音(第1受信音)を報知したあとで、「スマートフォンから操作されました。」というメッセージのみを報知する。 In particular, when the operation change command from the terminal device 5 is an operation start command or an operation stop command, the voice notification control unit 32 responds to the operation change command, for example, “pip”, “pip”, etc. After notifying the reception sound (first reception sound), as a message notification, the operation change command is supplied from the terminal device 5 and the content of the operation change command is notified. For example, when an operation start command is supplied from the terminal device 5, the voice notification control unit 32 notifies the reception sound (first reception sound) “beep” and then “operated from a smartphone. Announce the message "Start." Here, the part “Operated from a smartphone” is a message indicating that a driving change command has been supplied from the terminal device 5, and the part “Starting driving” is the content of the driving change command. It is a message which shows. Therefore, when the operation change command from the terminal device 5 is an operation start command or an operation stop command, the message includes the content of the operation change command supplied from the terminal device 5. The operation change command from the terminal device 5 is a command other than the operation start command and the operation stop command (change of the operation mode such as the set temperature of the room temperature, the set humidity of the room temperature, the wind direction, the air volume, the cooling operation and the heating operation, etc. ), The voice notification control unit 32 notifies the user that the operation change command is supplied from the terminal device 5 after notifying the reception sound (first reception sound). The content is not notified. For example, when a command for changing the set temperature of the room temperature is supplied from the terminal device 5, the voice notification control unit 32 notifies the reception sound (first reception sound) “beep” and then “operates from the smartphone. Only the message "."
 なお、端末装置5から供給される運転変更命令に応答して報知される受信音(第1受信音)と、リモコン4から供給される運転変更命令に応答して報知される受信音(第2受信音)は同じである。また、音声報知制御部32は、端末装置5から供給される全ての運転変更命令に応答して受信音報知およびメッセージ報知を行う。 Note that the received sound (first received sound) that is notified in response to the operation change command supplied from the terminal device 5 and the received sound that is notified in response to the operation change command supplied from the remote controller 4 (second The received sound is the same. In addition, the voice notification control unit 32 performs reception sound notification and message notification in response to all operation change commands supplied from the terminal device 5.
 表示報知制御部33は、表示応答報知の設定が入の場合において、リモコン4から運転変更命令(運転開始操作、運転停止操作、室内温度の設定温度等)が供給されると、その運転変更命令に応答して、例えば所定時間ほど表示部21のLED素子を点灯させる表示応答報知を行う。一方、表示報知制御部33は、表示応答報知の設定が切の場合には、リモコン4から運転変更命令が供給されても、表示部21のLED素子の点灯を行わない。なお、表示部21のLED素子の点灯には、表示部21のLED素子を点滅させることを含む。 When the display response notification is set to ON, the display notification control unit 33 receives an operation change command (operation start operation, operation stop operation, set temperature of the room temperature, etc.) from the remote controller 4, and the operation change command In response to this, for example, a display response notification for lighting the LED element of the display unit 21 is performed for a predetermined time. On the other hand, when the display response notification setting is off, the display notification control unit 33 does not light the LED element of the display unit 21 even if an operation change command is supplied from the remote controller 4. In addition, lighting of the LED element of the display part 21 includes blinking the LED element of the display part 21. FIG.
 また、表示報知制御部33は、端末装置5から運転変更命令(運転開始操作、運転停止操作、室内温度の設定温度等)が供給されると、その運転変更命令に応答して、例えば所定時間ほど表示部21のLED素子を点灯させる表示応答報知を行う。なお、端末装置5から供給される運転変更命令に応答して行われる表示応答報知と、リモコン4から供給される運転変更命令に応答して行われる表示応答報知は、点灯時間、点滅回数などの全てが同じである。また、表示報知制御部33は、端末装置5から供給される全ての運転変更命令に応答して表示応答報知を行う。 Further, when an operation change command (operation start operation, operation stop operation, set temperature of the room temperature, etc.) is supplied from the terminal device 5, the display notification control unit 33 responds to the operation change command, for example, for a predetermined time. The display response notification for lighting the LED element of the display unit 21 is performed. In addition, the display response notification performed in response to the operation change command supplied from the terminal device 5 and the display response notification performed in response to the operation change command supplied from the remote controller 4 include the lighting time and the number of blinks. Everything is the same. In addition, the display notification control unit 33 performs display response notification in response to all the operation change commands supplied from the terminal device 5.
 ここで、音声報知制御部32は、リモコン4からの運転変更命令に基づくメッセージ報知が禁止されている場合において、端末装置5から運転変更命令が供給される場合には、メッセージ報知を行う。すなわち、リモコン4からの運転変更命令に基づくメッセージ報知が禁止されている場合であっても、端末装置5からの運転変更命令が運転開始命令または運転停止命令である場合には、端末装置5から運転変更命令が供給されたこと、およびその運転変更命令の内容をメッセージで報知する。また、リモコン4からの運転変更命令に基づくメッセージ報知が禁止されている場合であっても、端末装置5からの運転変更命令が運転開始命令および運転停止命令以外の命令である場合には、端末装置5から運転変更命令が供給されたことをメッセージで報知する。なお、リモコン4からの運転変更命令に基づくメッセージ報知が禁止されている場合とは、受信音報知の設定が切またはメッセージ報知の設定が切の場合である。 Here, when the message notification based on the operation change command from the remote controller 4 is prohibited, the voice notification control unit 32 performs the message notification when the operation change command is supplied from the terminal device 5. That is, even when the message notification based on the operation change command from the remote controller 4 is prohibited, if the operation change command from the terminal device 5 is the operation start command or the operation stop command, the terminal device 5 A message informs that the operation change command has been supplied and the content of the operation change command. Even when message notification based on the operation change command from the remote controller 4 is prohibited, if the operation change command from the terminal device 5 is an instruction other than the operation start command and the operation stop command, the terminal A message that the operation change command is supplied from the device 5 is notified. The case where the message notification based on the operation change command from the remote controller 4 is prohibited is a case where the reception sound notification setting is turned off or the message notification setting is turned off.
 また、音声報知制御部32は、リモコン4からの運転変更命令に基づく受信音報知が禁止されている場合(受信音報知の設定が切の場合)において、リモコン4と異なる端末装置5から運転変更命令が供給される場合には、受信音(第1受信音)を報知する受信音報知を行う。また、表示報知制御部33は、リモコン4からの運転変更命令に基づく表示応答報知が禁止されている場合(表示応答報知の設定が切の場合)において、リモコン4と異なる端末装置5から運転変更命令が供給される場合には、表示部21のLED素子を点灯する表示応答報知を行う。 In addition, the voice notification control unit 32 changes the operation from a terminal device 5 different from the remote controller 4 when the reception sound notification based on the operation change command from the remote controller 4 is prohibited (when the reception sound notification setting is off). When the command is supplied, the reception sound notification for notifying the reception sound (first reception sound) is performed. Further, the display notification control unit 33 changes the operation from the terminal device 5 different from the remote controller 4 when the display response notification based on the operation change command from the remote controller 4 is prohibited (when the display response notification setting is off). When the command is supplied, a display response notification for lighting the LED element of the display unit 21 is performed.
 したがって、この空気調和機では、例えばリモコン4からの運転変更命令に基づくメッセージ報知が禁止されている場合において、端末装置5から運転変更命令が供給される場合には、端末装置5から運転変更命令が供給されたことがメッセージとして報知されるので、ユーザが端末装置5を用いて例えば外出先などから空気調和機1の運転設定を変更したときに、室内に別のユーザがいる場合でも、別のユーザは空気調和機1の運転設定が端末装置5によって変更されたものであると把握しやすい。また、この空気調和機では、例えばリモコン4からの運転変更命令に基づく表示応答報知が禁止されている場合において、端末装置5から運転変更命令が供給される場合には、表示応答報知が行われるので、ユーザが端末装置5を用いて例えば外出先などから空気調和機1の運転設定を変更したときに、室内に別のユーザがいる場合でも、別のユーザは空気調和機1の運転設定が端末装置5によって変更されたものであると把握しやすい。なお、本発明において、リモコン4からの運転変更命令に基づく音声応答報知が禁止されている場合とは、リモコン4からの運転変更命令に基づく受信音報知およびメッセージ報知が禁止されている場合を指す。 Therefore, in this air conditioner, for example, when message notification based on the operation change command from the remote controller 4 is prohibited, when the operation change command is supplied from the terminal device 5, the operation change command is issued from the terminal device 5. When the user changes the operation setting of the air conditioner 1 from the outside using the terminal device 5, for example, even if there is another user in the room, It is easy to grasp that the operation setting of the air conditioner 1 has been changed by the terminal device 5. Further, in this air conditioner, for example, when the display change notification based on the operation change command from the remote controller 4 is prohibited, the display response notification is performed when the operation change command is supplied from the terminal device 5. Therefore, when the user changes the operation setting of the air conditioner 1 from the outside using the terminal device 5, for example, even if another user exists in the room, the other user has the operation setting of the air conditioner 1. It is easy to grasp that it has been changed by the terminal device 5. In the present invention, the case where the voice response notification based on the operation change command from the remote controller 4 is prohibited refers to the case where the reception sound notification and the message notification based on the operation change command from the remote controller 4 are prohibited. .

When the operation change command is supplied (S1: Yes), the display unit 21 is turned on and a reception sound (first reception sound) is notified (S2). Then, after the reception sound (first reception sound) is notified, a message that the operation change command is supplied from the terminal device 5 is notified (S3). Next, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the display unit 21 was turned on, and this is repeated until the predetermined time has elapsed (S4). When the predetermined time has elapsed (S5: Yes), the display unit 21 is turned off. Then, the process returns to step S1.

<Characteristics of the air conditioner of this embodiment>
The air conditioner 1 of this embodiment has the following characteristics.
 本実施形態の空気調和機1では、端末装置5(運転開始操作、運転停止操作、室内温度の設定温度等)から運転変更命令が供給されたことがメッセージで報知されるので、室内(空気調和機1が配置される空調空間)にいるユーザは、空気調和機1の運転設定が端末装置5によって変更されたものであることを認識できる。したがって、リモコン4と異なる端末装置5を用いて空気調和機1の運転設定が変更されたときに、その変更が空気調和機1の誤作動と勘違いされるのを防止できる。 In the air conditioner 1 of the present embodiment, since a message that the operation change command has been supplied from the terminal device 5 (operation start operation, operation stop operation, indoor temperature set temperature, etc.) is notified by a message, The user in the air-conditioned space where the machine 1 is placed can recognize that the operation setting of the air conditioner 1 has been changed by the terminal device 5. Therefore, when the operation setting of the air conditioner 1 is changed using the terminal device 5 different from the remote controller 4, the change can be prevented from being mistaken for the malfunction of the air conditioner 1.
 また、本実施形態の空気調和機1では、メッセージが運転変更命令の内容を含むので、室内にいるユーザが運転変更命令の内容を把握できる。 Moreover, in the air conditioner 1 of this embodiment, since the message includes the content of the operation change command, the user in the room can grasp the content of the operation change command.
 また、本実施形態の空気調和機1では、受信音(第1受信音)が報知されたあとでメッセージが報知されるので、空気調和機1から突然メッセージが報知されるのを防止できる。 Further, in the air conditioner 1 of the present embodiment, since the message is notified after the reception sound (first reception sound) is notified, it is possible to prevent the air conditioner 1 from informing the message suddenly.
 以上、本発明の実施形態について図面に基づいて説明したが、具体的な構成は、これらの実施形態に限定されるものでないと考えられるべきである。本発明の範囲は、上記した実施形態の説明ではなく請求の範囲によって示され、さらに請求の範囲と均等の意味及び範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれる。 As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described based on drawing, it should be thought that a specific structure is not limited to these embodiment. The scope of the present invention is shown not by the above description of the embodiment but by the scope of claims, and further includes meanings equivalent to the scope of claims and all modifications within the scope.
[第1変形例]
 次に、第1変形例にかかる空気調和機について説明する。上記実施形態では、端末装置5から供給される運転変更命令に応答して報知される受信音(第1受信音)と、リモコン4から供給される運転変更命令に応答して報知される受信音(第2受信音)とが同じであるが、第1変形例にかかる空気調和機では、第1受信音と第2受信音とが異なっている。例えば、第1受信音は「ピピッ」という受信音であるのに対し、第2受信音は「ピッ」という受信音である。
[First Modification]
Next, the air conditioner concerning a 1st modification is demonstrated. In the above embodiment, the received sound (first received sound) notified in response to the operation change command supplied from the terminal device 5 and the received sound notified in response to the operation change command supplied from the remote controller 4. (Second received sound) is the same, but in the air conditioner according to the first modification, the first received sound and the second received sound are different. For example, the first received sound is a received sound “beep”, while the second received sound is a received sound “beep”.
 第1変形例にかかる空気調和機では、リモコン4から運転設定が変更された場合に報知される受信音(第2受信音)と、端末装置5から運転設定が変更された場合に報知される受信音(第1受信音)とが異なるので、受信音を聞いただけで、空気調和機の運転設定が端末装置5によって変更されたものであることが分かる。したがって、端末装置5から空気調和機の運転設定が変更されたことをより認識しやすい。 In the air conditioner according to the first modified example, a received sound (second received sound) that is notified when the operation setting is changed from the remote controller 4 and a notification that is issued when the operation setting is changed from the terminal device 5. Since the received sound (first received sound) is different, it can be seen that the operation setting of the air conditioner has been changed by the terminal device 5 only by listening to the received sound. Therefore, it is easier to recognize that the operation setting of the air conditioner has been changed from the terminal device 5.
[第2変形例]
 次に、第2変形例にかかる空気調和機について説明する。上記実施形態では、報知制御部31は、端末装置5から供給される全ての運転変更命令に応答してメッセージを報知するが、第2変形例にかかる空気調和機では、端末装置5から供給される運転変更命令が運転開始命令または運転停止命令である場合にメッセージを報知し、その他の運転変更命令(室内温度の設定温度、室内温度の設定湿度、風向、風量、冷房運転や暖房運転などの運転モードの変更等)の場合には、メッセージを報知しない。
[Second Modification]
Next, the air conditioner concerning a 2nd modification is demonstrated. In the said embodiment, although the alerting | reporting control part 31 responds to all the operation change commands supplied from the terminal device 5, it alert | reports a message, but in the air conditioner concerning a 2nd modification, it is supplied from the terminal device 5. If the operation change command is an operation start command or an operation stop command, a message is issued, and other operation change commands (such as indoor temperature setting temperature, indoor temperature setting humidity, wind direction, air volume, cooling operation and heating operation) In the case of operation mode change, etc., no message is notified.
 第2変形例にかかる空気調和機では、端末装置5から運転開始命令または運転停止命令が供給された場合にメッセージが報知されるので、室内にいる別のユーザが特に誤作動と勘違いしやすい運転開始動作または運転停止動作が、端末装置5によって操作されたものと認識できる。また、室内にいるユーザが誤作動と勘違いしにくい、その他の運転変更命令(室内温度の設定温度、室内温度の設定湿度、風向、風量、冷房運転や暖房運転などの運転モードの変更等)が供給されたときに、メッセージ報知がされる煩わしさを解消できる。 In the air conditioner according to the second modified example, a message is notified when an operation start command or an operation stop command is supplied from the terminal device 5, so that another user in the room is particularly likely to mistake for a malfunction. It can be recognized that the start operation or the operation stop operation is operated by the terminal device 5. In addition, other operation change commands (such as changing the indoor temperature setting temperature, indoor temperature setting humidity, wind direction, air volume, operation mode such as cooling operation or heating operation) that are difficult for a user in the room to misunderstand It is possible to eliminate the troublesome notification of messages when supplied.
[第3変形例]
 次に、第3変形例にかかる空気調和機について説明する。上記実施形態では、報知制御部31は、室内(空気調和機1が配置される空調空間)に人がいるか否かにかかわらず、端末装置5から供給される全ての運転変更命令に応答してメッセージを報知するが、第3変形例にかかる空気調和機では、人検知センサ25で人が検知される場合に、端末装置5から供給される運転変更命令に応答してメッセージを報知し、人検知センサ25で人が検知されない場合には、端末装置5から供給される運転変更命令に応答してメッセージを報知しない。
[Third Modification]
Next, an air conditioner according to a third modification will be described. In the said embodiment, the alerting | reporting control part 31 responds to all the operation change commands supplied from the terminal device 5, regardless of whether there is a person in the room (the air-conditioned space where the air conditioner 1 is arranged). In the air conditioner according to the third modification, when a person is detected by the human detection sensor 25, the message is notified in response to the operation change command supplied from the terminal device 5. When a person is not detected by the detection sensor 25, a message is not notified in response to the operation change command supplied from the terminal device 5.
 第3変形例にかかる空気調和機では、ユーザが空調空間にいない場合に、メッセージが報知されるのを防止できるので、省エネできる。 In the air conditioner according to the third modification, it is possible to prevent the message from being notified when the user is not in the air-conditioned space, so that energy can be saved.
[その他変形例]
 上記実施形態では、端末装置5からの運転変更命令として運転開始命令および運転停止命令以外の命令(室内温度の設定温度、室内温度の設定湿度、風向、風量、冷房運転や暖房運転などの運転モードの変更等)が供給された場合には、その運転変更命令の内容は報知されないが、その運転変更命令の内容がメッセージとして報知されてもよい。例えば、上記実施形態では、端末装置5から室内温度の設定温度の変更命令が供給された場合に、「スマートフォンから操作されました。」としか報知されないが、「スマートフォンから操作されました。設定温度を変更します。」という運転変更命令の内容を含むメッセージが報知されてもよい。
[Other variations]
In the above-described embodiment, instructions other than the operation start instruction and the operation stop instruction as the operation change instruction from the terminal device 5 (operating modes such as the set temperature of the indoor temperature, the set humidity of the indoor temperature, the wind direction, the air volume, the cooling operation and the heating operation) The change of the operation change command is not notified, but the content of the operation change command may be notified as a message. For example, in the above-described embodiment, when a command for changing the set temperature of the room temperature is supplied from the terminal device 5, the notification is only “Operated from a smartphone.” However, “Operation from a smartphone has been set. A message including the content of the operation change command “change the temperature” may be notified.
 また、上記実施形態では、報知制御部31は、端末装置5から供給される全ての運転変更命令に応答してメッセージを報知するが、上記第2変形例に示すように、端末装置5から供給される運転変更命令が運転開始命令または運転停止命令である場合にメッセージを報知してもよいし、端末装置5から供給される運転変更命令が運転開始命令である場合にのみメッセージを報知してもよいし、端末装置5から供給される運転変更命令が運転停止命令である場合にのみメッセージを報知してもよい。 Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the alerting | reporting control part 31 responds to all the driving change commands supplied from the terminal device 5, it alert | reports a message, but as shown in the said 2nd modification, it supplies from the terminal device 5. A message may be notified when the operation change instruction to be performed is an operation start instruction or an operation stop instruction, or only when the operation change instruction supplied from the terminal device 5 is an operation start instruction. Alternatively, the message may be notified only when the operation change command supplied from the terminal device 5 is the operation stop command.
 また、上記実施形態では、メッセージが、端末装置5から供給される運転変更命令の内容を含む場合があるが、含まなくてもよい。したがって、端末装置5から運転変更命令が供給された場合に、端末装置5から運転変更命令が供給されたことだけ(例えば「スマートフォンから操作されました。」だけ)をメッセージで報知してもよい。 In the above embodiment, the message may include the content of the operation change command supplied from the terminal device 5, but it may not be included. Therefore, when a driving change command is supplied from the terminal device 5, only a driving change command is supplied from the terminal device 5 (for example, “only operated from a smartphone”) may be notified by a message. .
 また、上記実施形態では、端末装置5から運転変更命令が供給された場合に、受信音報知、メッセージ報知、および表示応答報知を行うが、メッセージ報知だけが行われてもよい。したがって、メッセージが報知される前に、受信音(第1受信音)が報知される必要はない。 In the above embodiment, when the operation change command is supplied from the terminal device 5, the reception sound notification, the message notification, and the display response notification are performed, but only the message notification may be performed. Therefore, it is not necessary to notify the reception sound (first reception sound) before the message is notified.
 また、上記実施形態では、リモコン4と異なる端末装置5として、ネットワークを介して空気調和機1に運転変更命令を供給できるものを挙げたが、ネットワークを介さずに空気調和機1に運転変更命令を供給できるものでもよい。 Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the thing which can supply an operation change command to the air conditioner 1 via a network was mentioned as the terminal device 5 different from the remote control 4, an operation change command was given to the air conditioner 1 without going through a network. It may be one that can supply.
 本発明を利用すれば、空気調和機に付属されたリモコンと異なる端末装置を用いて空気調和機の運転設定が変更されたときに、その変更が空気調和機の誤作動と勘違いされるのを防止できる。 By using the present invention, when the operation setting of the air conditioner is changed using a terminal device different from the remote control attached to the air conditioner, the change is mistaken for a malfunction of the air conditioner. Can be prevented.
