As described above, according to the control method of the air conditioning system and the control program of the air conditioning system according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
In the present embodiment, when starting the specific operation, the specific operation start signal is transmitted from the indoor unit control device 11 to the remote control control unit 21 by receiving the specific operation start input from the external device 30, and the remote control control is performed for this. The specific operation setting information corresponding to the signal is transmitted from the unit 21 to the indoor unit control device 11, and the indoor unit control device 11 performs operation control of the indoor unit 10 based on the specific operation setting information.
According to the present embodiment, since transmission and reception with the external device 30 are performed through the external input terminal 18 provided in the indoor unit control device 11, it is necessary to add a new terminal and to change the design in terms of hardware. There is no By using the external input terminal 18 conventionally provided in the indoor unit control device 11, the configuration can be easily realized. Further, since the specific operation setting information is stored by using the storage processing unit of the operation setting information conventionally provided in the remote control 20, the operation of the indoor unit 10 is performed using the user interface provided in the remote control 20. Various information for control can be set, and there is no need to add a new device or change the design in terms of hardware. In general, since there are no additional parts and no design change in hardware, the configuration can be easily realized without increasing the cost.
 また、リモコン20により特定運転設定情報を容易に変更可能であり、ユーザの意向に沿った運転制御が可能となる。
 また、外部機器30からの特定運転開始入力を契機として室内機10が特定の運転状態にて運転開始となることから、ユーザが自発的に室内機10を運転開始する必要が無い。
Further, the specific driving setting information can be easily changed by the remote controller 20, and driving control can be performed in accordance with the user's intention.
Moreover, since the indoor unit 10 starts operation in a specific operating state triggered by a specific operation start input from the external device 30, there is no need for the user to start the indoor unit 10 spontaneously.
 また、外部機器30からの室内機OFF入力があれば室内機10は運転停止となりリモコン20の操作を受け付けず、外部機器30からの室内機ON入力があれば室内機10は運転開始しリモコン20の操作により運転が制御されるような場合において、室内機OFF入力を特定運転開始入力とすることでリモコン20の操作を行うことなくまたリモコン20の操作を受け付けない状態のまま特定の運転設定による室内機10の運転が可能となる。 In addition, if there is an indoor unit OFF input from the external device 30, the indoor unit 10 stops operation and does not receive the operation of the remote control 20, and if there is an indoor unit ON input from the external device 30, the indoor unit 10 starts operation. In the case where the operation is controlled by the operation of (1), the indoor unit OFF input is set as the specific operation start input, and the operation of the remote control 20 is not performed and the operation of the remote control 20 is not received. The indoor unit 10 can be operated.
 また、本実施形態によれば、特定運転設定情報が室内機10の運転状態である運転モード、設定温度、風向、風量、スイングのいずれかの設定値の組合せを含むことから、特定運転設定情報の受信により室内機10の運転状態がユーザの意図した運転設定に一意に定まり、ユーザの意向に沿った運転制御が可能である。 Further, according to the present embodiment, since the specific operation setting information includes the combination of any one of the setting values of the operation mode, the setting temperature, the wind direction, the air volume, and the swing which is the operation state of the indoor unit 10, the specific operation setting information As a result, the operation state of the indoor unit 10 is uniquely determined to the operation setting intended by the user, and operation control can be performed in accordance with the user's intention.
 以上、本発明の実施形態について図面を参照して詳述してきたが、具体的な構成はこの実施形態に限られるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲の設計変更なども含まれる。 Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and design changes and the like within the scope of the present invention are also included.
 例えば、外部機器30からの信号により外部入力端子18がONになると室内機制御装置11は特定運転開始信号を送信する場合において、外部機器30からの信号により外部入力端子18がOFFになった場合は、(1)前回ONとなった直前の運転状態が記憶されており、その運転状態にて運転を開始する、(2)OFF入力となった直前の運転状態のまま運転を開始(すなわち運転を継続)する、(3)事前に設定し記憶した標準運転状態にて運転を開始する等、ユーザの所望の運転形態により、いずれを設定してもよい。
 また、外部機器30からの信号により外部入力端子18がONになると室内機制御装置11は特定運転開始信号を送信するとしたが、外部機器30からの信号により外部入力端子18がOFFになった場合に室内機制御装置11は特定運転開始信号を送信するとしてもよい。
For example, when the indoor unit control device 11 transmits a specific operation start signal when the external input terminal 18 is turned on by a signal from the external device 30, the external input terminal 18 is turned off by a signal from the external device 30 (1) The driving state immediately before the previous ON was stored, and the driving is started in that driving state. (2) The driving is started with the driving state just before the OFF input (that is, driving) And (3) any one of which may be set according to the desired operation mode of the user, such as starting operation in a standard operation state set and stored in advance.
In addition, when the external input terminal 18 is turned ON by the signal from the external device 30, the indoor unit control device 11 transmits the specific operation start signal, but when the external input terminal 18 is turned OFF by the signal from the external device 30 Alternatively, the indoor unit control device 11 may transmit a specific operation start signal.
