- step S312 for each temperature sensor 30, the determination unit 101 divides the measured temperature change by the waiting time ⁇ T (that is, the difference in measurement time) to calculate the temperature change rate.
- step S313 the determination unit 101 determines the temperature sensor 30 with the fastest temperature change rate calculated for each temperature sensor 30 as the temperature sensor 30 associated with the air conditioner 20.
- the position of the temperature sensor 30 is changed outside the range of the area to be air-conditioned by the air conditioner 20, for example, during the execution of the air conditioning control using the temperature sensor 30 with which the air conditioner 20 is associated with the above processing procedure. Even if it exists, the temperature sensor 30 matched with the air conditioner 20 can be eliminated and determined again.
- the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 30 even when the position of the temperature sensor 30 previously associated with the air conditioner 20 is changed.
- the air conditioning can be controlled after determining the temperature sensor 30 to be associated with the air conditioner 20 based on the change rate of the air conditioner.
- the position of the temperature sensor 30 associated with the air conditioner 20 is changed due to a store layout change, and the physical distance between the air conditioner 20 and the temperature sensor 30 changes. Even so, the target temperature can be corrected based on the predetermined reference value and the measured temperature change rate. Similarly, even when the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 30 varies due to, for example, a large shelf placed between the air conditioner 20 and the temperature sensor 30 due to a store layout change, The target temperature can be corrected based on a predetermined reference value and the measured temperature change rate.
