Therefore, it is difficult to record all these languages in the air conditioner control system in advance, and it is not realistic from the viewpoint of the capacity of the storage device. For this reason, the language displayed on the display part of the conventional air conditioner control system has a problem that it is limited to a very small number of main languages.
　そこで、上記の問題を解決するために、装置の表示部に表示される言語をユーザのニーズに合わせて置き換えたり、新規に追加する装置が提案されている（例えば特許文献１参照）。この装置は、外部からの書き換えが可能な記憶領域を設け、文字データと言語データをチューナから受信し、同一のフォーマットのデータを追加及び変更ができるものである。 Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a device has been proposed in which the language displayed on the display unit of the device is replaced or newly added according to the needs of the user (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This apparatus is provided with a storage area that can be rewritten from the outside, receives character data and language data from a tuner, and can add and change data in the same format.

　図９に示されるように、画面データベース２０６は、不揮発性メモリにより構成され、不揮発性メモリ上には、画面情報として画面番号７０１、文字列ＩＤ７０２、Ｘ座標７０３、Ｙ座標７０４、Ｘ方向サイズ７０５、及びＹ方向サイズ７０６が記録されている。画面番号７０１は、画面の番号を記録している。画面データベース２０６に記録された画面は、紙芝居のようになっており、１つの画面に対して１つの画面番号が割り振られている。１つの画面の中には複数の文字列ＩＤ７０２が存在しており、文字列ＩＤ７０２の表示場所と表示内容を変えることにより、異なる画面を構成する。このため、同一の画面番号７０１に対して、複数の文字列ＩＤ７０２が割り振られている。なお、画面番号７０１、文字列ＩＤ７０２、Ｘ座標７０３、Ｙ座標７０４、Ｘ方向サイズ７０５、及びＹ方向サイズ７０６は、本発明における「画面情報」に相当する。 As shown in FIG. 9, the screen database 206 is configured by a non-volatile memory. On the non-volatile memory, a screen number 701, a character string ID 702, an X coordinate 703, a Y coordinate 704, and an X direction size 705 are stored as screen information. , And a Y-direction size 706 are recorded. The screen number 701 records the screen number. The screen recorded in the screen database 206 is like a picture-story show, and one screen number is assigned to one screen. A plurality of character string IDs 702 exist in one screen, and different screens are configured by changing the display location and display contents of the character string ID 702. For this reason, a plurality of character string IDs 702 are assigned to the same screen number 701. The screen number 701, the character string ID 702, the X coordinate 703, the Y coordinate 704, the X direction size 705, and the Y direction size 706 correspond to “screen information” in the present invention.

Specifically, the screen database 206 includes data of an X coordinate 703, a Y coordinate 704, an X direction size 705, and a Y direction size 706 in addition to the screen number 701 and the character string ID 702 described above.
　Ｘ座標７０３には、画像データを表示手段２０３に表示する際の位置決めで使用するＸ座標が記録されている。Ｘ座標７０３は、文字列の画面上における水平方向の位置を示す。表示手段２０３の最も左端を０とし、水平方向の右に行くほど数値が増加し、そして、表示手段２０３の最も右端は、表示手段２０３の水平方向のピクセル数に一致する。 In the X coordinate 703, the X coordinate used for positioning when displaying the image data on the display means 203 is recorded. The X coordinate 703 indicates the horizontal position of the character string on the screen. The leftmost end of the display means 203 is 0, and the numerical value increases as going to the right in the horizontal direction, and the rightmost end of the display means 203 matches the number of pixels in the horizontal direction of the display means 203.
　また、Ｙ座標７０４には、画像データを表示手段２０３に表示する際の位置決めで使用するＹ座標が記録されている。Ｙ座標７０４は、文字列の画面上における垂直方向の位置を示す。表示手段２０３の最も上端を０とし、垂直方向の下に行くほど数値が増加し、そして、表示手段２０３の最も下端は、表示手段２０３の垂直方向のピクセル数に一致する。 Also, the Y coordinate 704 is recorded with the Y coordinate used for positioning when displaying the image data on the display means 203. A Y coordinate 704 indicates a vertical position of the character string on the screen. The numerical value increases as the upper end of the display unit 203 is 0, and the lower the vertical direction, the lower end of the display unit 203 matches the number of pixels in the vertical direction of the display unit 203.
　また、Ｘ方向サイズ７０５には、画像データを表示手段２０３に表示する際のサイズを決めるＸ方向へのサイズが記録されている。Ｘ方向サイズ７０５は、文字列の表示手段２０３上における水平方向のピクセル数を示す。また、Ｙ方向サイズ７０６には、画像データを表示手段２０３に表示する際のサイズを決めるＹ方向へのサイズが記録されている。Ｙ方向サイズ７０６は、文字列の表示手段２０３上における垂直方向のピクセル数を示す。 In the X direction size 705, the size in the X direction that determines the size when the image data is displayed on the display unit 203 is recorded. The X direction size 705 indicates the number of pixels in the horizontal direction on the character string display unit 203. In the Y-direction size 706, a size in the Y-direction that determines the size when displaying the image data on the display unit 203 is recorded. The Y-direction size 706 indicates the number of pixels in the vertical direction on the character string display unit 203.
　なお、本実施の形態において、受信画像データベース２０４、言語データベース２０５及び画面データベース２０６を個別に設けた例を示したが、本発明はこれに限定されず、不揮発性メモリを共用にして使用してもよい。 In this embodiment, the received image database 204, the language database 205, and the screen database 206 are individually provided.

As shown in FIG. 1, the repeater 104 temporarily stores image data transmitted by the image construction device 102. Then, when there is a request from the user, the image data is transmitted to the air conditioner control device 101. For example, it is used when the air conditioner control device 101 and the image construction device 102 cannot communicate directly, or when there is a time lag in communication between the air conditioner control device 101 and the image construction device 102. Thus, by using the repeater 104, even when the air conditioner control device 101 and the image construction device 102 cannot communicate directly, data can be reliably transmitted and received. Specifically, the procedure is as follows. The image construction device 102 transmits the image data to the repeater 104. The repeater 104 records the received image data on its own non-volatile memory. Thereafter, when requested by the user, the repeater 104 reads the recorded image data and transmits it to the air conditioner control device 101. The repeater 104 includes an arithmetic processing device such as a microcomputer, a program operating on the arithmetic processing device, a nonvolatile memory for recording image data, and a communication device for performing communication.

［実施の形態の効果］
　以上のことから、本実施の形態によれば、空調機制御システム１００は、文字の表示位置及び文字の表示サイズを示す画面情報を格納している画面データベース２０６と、文字を画像データとして記録する受信画像データベース２０４と、受信画像データベース２０４から画像データを読み出し、画面情報に基づいて画面画像を構築する画面構築手段２０２と、空調機の操作手段として画面画像を表示する表示手段２０３と、を備えるように構成する。このようにすることで、空調機制御システム１００の表示手段２０３に表示される言語をユーザのニーズに合わせて簡便に置き換えることが可能な空調機制御システム１００を得ることができる。なお、空気調和機を使用するユーザと手書き文字を設定するユーザは異なってもよい。例えば、空気調和機を使用するユーザは空気調和機を実際に操作して使用する居住者であり、手書き文字を設定するユーザは施工業者などの据え付け業務を行う者が挙げられる。これにより、施工業者などのユーザは、使用ユーザに合わせた言語を現地で追加することができる。 [Effect of the embodiment]
From the above, according to the present embodiment, the air conditioner control system 100 records the screen database 206 storing the screen information indicating the display position of the character and the display size of the character, and the character as image data. A reception image database 204; a screen construction unit 202 that reads out image data from the reception image database 204 and constructs a screen image based on the screen information; and a display unit 203 that displays a screen image as an operation unit of the air conditioner. Configure as follows. By doing in this way, the air conditioner control system 100 which can replace easily the language displayed on the display means 203 of the air conditioner control system 100 according to a user's needs can be obtained. In addition, the user who uses an air conditioner and the user who sets a handwritten character may differ. For example, a user who uses an air conditioner is a resident who actually operates and uses the air conditioner, and a user who sets handwritten characters includes a person who performs installation work such as a contractor. Thereby, users, such as a construction contractor, can add the language according to the use user locally.
　また、空調機制御システム１００は、文字を画像データとして受信する受信手段２０１を更に備え、受信手段２０１は、画像データを受信画像データベース２０４に記録するように構成する。このようにすることで、不揮発性メモリである受信画像データベース２０４に画像データが記録されるので、電源供給をしなくても空調機制御装置１０１にデータを保存することができる。 The air conditioner control system 100 further includes receiving means 201 for receiving characters as image data, and the receiving means 201 is configured to record the image data in the received image database 204. By doing so, the image data is recorded in the received image database 204 which is a non-volatile memory, so that the data can be stored in the air conditioner control device 101 without supplying power.
　また、空調機制御システム１００は、予め規定されたフォーマットの言語設定表１０３を撮像し、言語設定表１０３に記載されている文字を撮像データに変換する撮像手段３０１と、撮像手段３０１により変換された撮像データを解析し、画像データを作成する画像構築手段３０２と、画像データを受信手段２０１に送信する送信手段３０３と、を更に備える構成とする。このようにすることで、言語設定表１０３に記載された文字の画像データを空調機制御装置１０１に送信することができる。 In addition, the air conditioner control system 100 captures an image of the language setting table 103 in a predetermined format and converts the characters described in the language setting table 103 into image data, and the image capturing unit 301 converts the characters. The apparatus further includes an image construction unit 302 that analyzes the captured image data and creates image data, and a transmission unit 303 that transmits the image data to the reception unit 201. By doing in this way, the image data of the character described in the language setting table 103 can be transmitted to the air conditioner control device 101.
　また、送信手段３０３は、受信手段２０１に無線通信によって画像データを送信する。このようにすることで、遠隔地にある受信手段２０１にデータを送信することができる。 Further, the transmission unit 303 transmits the image data to the reception unit 201 by wireless communication. By doing in this way, data can be transmitted to the receiving means 201 in a remote place.
　また、無線通信は、２．４ＧＨｚ帯の周波数によって行われる。このようにすることで、無線通信として２．４ＧＨｚの周波数帯を使用することにより、室内又は室外を含めて全世界のいずれの場所においても無線通信を使用することができる。 In addition, wireless communication is performed at a frequency of 2.4 GHz band. In this way, by using the 2.4 GHz frequency band for wireless communication, wireless communication can be used anywhere in the world including indoors or outdoors.
　また、空調機制御システム１００は、画像データを送受信する中継器１０４を更に備え、中継器１０４は、送信手段３０３から画像データを受信し、２０１受信手段へ画像データを送信する。このようにすることで、中継器１０４を使用することにより、空調機制御装置１０１と画像構築装置１０２とが直接通信できない場合などでも、確実にデータの送受信が行える。なお、中継器１０４は１台とは限らず、複数台設けても良く、中継器１０４同士がさらにデータを中継する形態を取ってもよい。中継器１０４は、空調機制御装置１０１及び画像構築装置１０２とは離れた場所にあっても良い。空調機制御装置１０１又は画像構築装置１０２と中継器１０４の間にはルーターなどの通信中継装置が置かれても良い。 The air conditioner control system 100 further includes a repeater 104 that transmits and receives image data. The repeater 104 receives the image data from the transmission unit 303 and transmits the image data to the 201 reception unit. In this way, by using the repeater 104, data can be reliably transmitted and received even when the air conditioner control device 101 and the image construction device 102 cannot communicate directly. Note that the number of the repeaters 104 is not limited to one, and a plurality of repeaters may be provided, or the repeaters 104 may further take a form of relaying data. The repeater 104 may be located away from the air conditioner control device 101 and the image construction device 102. A communication relay device such as a router may be placed between the air conditioner control device 101 or the image construction device 102 and the relay device 104.
　また、中継器１０４は、画像データを一時的に蓄積し、受信手段２０１へ画像データを送信する。このようにすることで、空調機制御装置１０１と画像構築装置１０２とが直接通信できない時間が存在しても、その時間差を埋めることにより確実にデータの送受信が行える。 Also, the repeater 104 temporarily stores the image data and transmits the image data to the receiving unit 201. By doing so, even when there is a time during which the air conditioner control device 101 and the image construction device 102 cannot communicate directly, it is possible to reliably transmit and receive data by filling the time difference.
　また、言語設定表１０３は、該言語設定表１０３の文字を一意に識別するためのバーコード１０３ｃが記載されている。このようにすることで、言語設定表１０３が規定のフォーマットで作成され、文字列ＩＤを含むバーコード１０３ｃが印刷されることで、ユーザの手を煩わせることなく、手書き入力された文字を置き換える画面上の文字列を自動的に特定することができる。 In addition, the language setting table 103 describes a barcode 103c for uniquely identifying the characters of the language setting table 103. By doing this, the language setting table 103 is created in a prescribed format, and the barcode 103c including the character string ID is printed, so that the handwritten input characters are replaced without bothering the user. The character string on the screen can be automatically specified.
