- control terminal 30 transmits the device data to the management device 10 via the network (S202).
- the steps of the control terminal 30 and the management device 10 will be described separately.
- control terminal 30 As a premise, as described in (3-1), some control commands are usually registered and accumulated in the control terminal 30.
- the processor of the control terminal 30 calls and refers to such a control command from the memory of the control terminal. Then, the processor of the control terminal 30 determines whether or not the acquired device data is an opportunity to execute the control command (S211). In other words, determine if an event has occurred.
- the event is an event that triggers the execution of automatic control.
- the control terminal 30 determines that an event has occurred by comparing the device data with the control command (S211).
- step S212 automatic control is executed in step S212.
- the control terminal 30 turns off the power of the device 21.
- step S211 If the event does not occur in step S211 the control terminal 30 ends the process.
- step S202 a case where control is performed by the management device after the device data is transmitted to the management device will be described.
- the management device 10 confirms a control command to be executed by the management device registered in the management device 10. Then, it is confirmed whether or not an event that triggers the control command executed by the management device has occurred (S203).
- step 203 If an event has occurred in step 203, the process proceeds to step 204, and the management device executes automatic control. Further, in step S203, when the event has not occurred, the management device ends the process.
- the device data is acquired by both the control terminal 30 and the management device 10.
- the control command is registered to be executed by either the control terminal 30 or the management device 10. Therefore, whether the management device or the control terminal executes the event depends on which of the control commands is registered. The same applies to the secondary event described below.
- a secondary event is an event that occurs as a result of performing some kind of calculation processing using the state value of the device.
- the event described in (3-2) is an event that can be detected when the state value of the device changes. In the present specification, such an event will be referred to as a primary event when it is distinguished from a secondary event.
- control command registered in the system 1 includes both the control command related to the primary event and the control command related to the secondary event.
- FIG. 4 shows the flow of device control of the device management system 1 when a secondary event exists.
- control terminal 30 acquires device data from each device 21 and sensors 22a and 22b around the device (S301). Next, the control terminal 30 transmits the device data to the management device 10 via the network (S302). Hereinafter, the steps of the control terminal 30 and the management device 10 will be described separately.
- the processor of the control terminal 30 performs a call processing of a control command related to the primary event from the memory of the control terminal (S311). This process is exactly the same as in the case of (3-2). Next, the control terminal 30 shifts to the processing of the control command related to the secondary event (S312).
- the device data is the room temperature.
- the control terminal 30 subsequently performs the processing of the primary event in step S311 and then shifts to the processing of the secondary event in S312. Therefore, the control terminal compares the actual room temperature with the room temperature, which is a processing condition of the control command.
- the air conditioner equipment controls the cooling operation (S313). In other words, the control terminal 30 executes automatic control.
- the management device 10 processes the primary event (S303). This process is exactly the same as the process of (3-2).
- step S303 the management device 10 determines whether or not a secondary event has occurred. If a secondary event has occurred, the process proceeds to S305, and the management device executes automatic control. If the secondary event has not occurred in S304, the management device ends the process.
- the primary event and the secondary event are all stored in the database 12 of the management device 10 in the same manner as the control command.
- the storage destination may be the memory of the server 11. It may be the memory of the control terminal 30. It may be stored in both the management device 10 and the control terminal 30. Then, it may be used to determine whether or not a secondary event has occurred next.
- the user returns to the place where the control command is registered (S401).
- the management device 10 determines that the control command is the control terminal, and the control terminal 30 executes the control command (S402).
- control terminal 30 takes too much time while executing the control command. For example, when the management device 10 predicts the time for the control terminal 30 to execute a control command based on the data before the number of devices 21 controlled by one control terminal 30 increases, the management device 10 is more than predicted at the time of determination by the management device. It can happen that it takes time.
- the system 1 sets an upper limit of the processing time of the control terminal.
- the control terminal stops executing the control command (S405).
- the management device 10 having a higher processing capacity executes the control command (S406).
- Whether or not the execution time of the control command in the control terminal in step S403 is longer than the predetermined time may be determined after the predetermined time is actually exceeded, or may be determined by prediction before the predetermined time is exceeded. good.
- step S403 when the execution of the control command is completed within the predetermined time, the control terminal continues the execution of the control command and ends.
- the generalization of the control flow of FIG. 5 is as shown in FIG. Explaining this, a plurality of execution modes for executing control commands can be considered in the entire system 1.
- the one with lower processing power is called the first execution mode
- the execution mode with higher processing power than the first execution mode is called the second execution mode.
- Using the first execution mode is not only a demerit, but also has a merit such as a low usage fee.
- the execution of the control command on the control terminal can be regarded as the first execution mode
- the execution of the control command on the management device can be regarded as the second execution mode.
- the control flow of FIG. 5 can be rewritten to the control flow of FIG.
- step S503 while the automatic control flow is being executed in the first execution mode, when the execution time exceeds or is about to exceed the predetermined time, the system cancels the execution in the first execution mode. (S505), the second execution mode is executed (S506).

- the management device 10 and the control terminal 30 can execute a control command created by a common script.
- the user does not need to input the control command to be executed by the management device and the control command to be executed by the control terminal in separate formats, and the input burden is reduced.
- control command input to the management device 10 is registered in the management device 10 (S102).
- the control command registered in the management device is executed by the management device or the control terminal (S104, S112).

- the control command may be registered in the control terminal.
- the registered control command may be recorded in the control terminal.
- the system can select and execute the management device and the control terminal according to the content of the control command. Further, even if the communication between the management device and the control terminal is interrupted, the control terminal can execute the control command.
- control command is registered in the management device (S102).
- the management device determines whether to execute the control command on the management device or the control terminal, and distributes the control command (S103).
- the criterion for the management device to distribute the control command to the management device and the control terminal (S103) is that the control command spans a plurality of control terminals or is independent. The point is whether it belongs to the control terminal.
