  In the above configuration, the control device transmits an adjustment signal that operates with the strongest first air volume to the air conditioner that is the source of the detection signal, and is adjacent to the air conditioner that is the source of the detection signal in the vertical and horizontal directions. An adjustment signal for operating with a second air volume that is weaker than the first air volume is transmitted to the air conditioner that is arranged at a position where the air conditioner is located, and the position or vertical and horizontal directions of the air conditioner that is the source of the detection signal An air conditioner that is arranged at a position other than the above is transmitted to an air conditioner that is located at a position adjacent to the air conditioner that is operated with a third air volume that is weaker than the second air volume. On the other hand, an adjustment signal for operating with a fourth air volume weaker than the third air volume is transmitted. The control device has a third airflow that is weaker than the second air volume with respect to the air conditioner that is disposed at an oblique position or an adjacent position in the vertical and horizontal directions of the air conditioner that is the transmission source of the detection signal. Send an adjustment signal to operate with airflow. The control device transmits an adjustment signal for operating the air conditioner disposed at a position other than the above with a fourth air volume that is weaker than the third air volume. As a result, not only the position where a person exists but also the surroundings can be adjusted to an appropriate temperature, and the power consumption can be effectively suppressed.

  Further, the computer program according to the present invention includes a means for controlling the control device so as to stop the air conditioner after measuring the control device with a timer for a predetermined time after transmitting the adjustment signal, and during operation of one air conditioner. When the detection signal is received from another air conditioner, when the adjustment signal for adjusting to operate with an air volume stronger than the operating air volume is transmitted, it functions as a means for resetting the clock by the timer and resetting the clock. Is preferred.

  In the above configuration, the control device controls the air conditioner to stop after measuring the timer for a certain time after transmitting the adjustment signal, and receives the detection signal from the other air conditioner while one air conditioner is operating. In such a case, when transmitting an adjustment signal for adjusting to operate with an air volume stronger than the operating air volume, the timer count is reset and the clock is remeasured. Thereby, when a human sensor connected to another air conditioner detects the presence of a person, the operation time can be substantially extended.

According to the above configuration, one control unit connected to one controlled device is connected to another controlled device when the connected human sensor detects the presence of a person. A detection signal indicating that the presence of a person has been detected is transmitted. When the other control unit receives the detection signal, it calculates position information with respect to the position of the one control unit that is the transmission source of the detection signal based on the stored information on the arrangement, and responds to the calculated position information. Then, an adjustment signal for adjusting the operation state is transmitted to the connected controlled device. Thereby, based on the relationship between the position of the detected person and the position where the controlled device is installed, an optimal operation can be performed. While confirming visually, it becomes possible to suppress power consumption effectively. In addition, the controlled device is a lighting fixture, and an adjustment signal for adjusting the luminance is transmitted to the connected lighting fixture according to the calculated position information. In other lighting fixtures, the brightness can be adjusted according to the positional relationship with the position where the person exists, and not only the position where the person exists but also the surroundings can be visually confirmed Thus, it is possible to effectively reduce the power consumption. Furthermore, the control unit is designed to turn off the connected lighting fixture after timing the timer for a certain time after sending the adjustment signal, and other lighting fixtures are connected while one lighting fixture is on. When a detection signal is received from a control unit that is turned on, when sending an adjustment signal to adjust the lighting so that it is lit at a higher brightness than the lit brightness, the timer will reset the time and reset the time so that other lighting fixtures When the human sensor connected to the connected control unit detects the presence of a person, the lighting time can be substantially extended.

  FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram of the control unit 2 of the control system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The detection signal transmission unit 201 of the control unit 2 according to Embodiment 1 transmits a detection signal indicating that the human sensor 3 has detected the presence of a person to the control unit 2 connected to another controlled device 1. To do. The detection signal includes at least flag information indicating detection and identification information (ID) of the controlled device 1 to which the detected human sensor 3 is connected. Thereby, it is possible to notify the control unit 2 connected to the other controlled device 1 that the human sensor 3 has detected the presence of a person.

  The detection signal receiving unit 202 receives a detection signal indicating that the human sensor 3 has detected the presence of a person from the control unit 2 connected to another controlled device 1. Based on the identification information of the controlled device 1 included in the detection signal, it can be specified which human sensor 3 has reacted, and each control unit 2 can grasp the position where a person exists.

  When the position calculation unit 203 receives a detection signal indicating that the presence of a person has been detected from another control unit 2, the position calculation unit 203 determines the position of the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal based on the stored information on the arrangement. The position information for is calculated. Specifically, the distance and direction between the own device and the controlled device 1 connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal are calculated based on the information regarding the arrangement.

  The adjustment signal transmission unit 204 transmits an adjustment signal for adjusting the operating state to the connected controlled device 1 in accordance with the position information calculated by the position calculation unit 203.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the MPU 21 of the control unit 2 when the human sensor 3 of the control system according to the first embodiment of the present invention detects the presence of a person. The MPU 21 of the control unit 2 determines whether or not a signal indicating that the presence of a person has been detected is received from the connected human sensor 3 (step S401). When the MPU 21 determines that it has not received a signal indicating that the presence of a person has been detected (step S401: NO), the MPU 21 enters a reception waiting state.

  When the MPU 21 determines that it has received a signal indicating that the presence of a person has been detected (step S401: YES), the MPU 21 moves the human sensor 3 to the control unit 2 connected to the other controlled device 1. A detection signal indicating that the presence of a person has been detected is transmitted all at once (step S402). It is possible to notify all the control units 2 capable of wireless communication that the human sensor 3 has detected the presence of a person, and the controlled devices connected thereto by the computer program of each control unit 2. One operating state can be controlled.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the MPU 21 of the control unit 2 when receiving the detection signal of the control system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The MPU 21 of the control unit 2 determines whether or not a detection signal indicating that the human sensor 3 has detected the presence of a person has been received from another control unit 2 (step S501). When the MPU 21 determines that the detection signal has not been received (step S501: NO), the MPU 21 enters a reception waiting state.

  When the MPU 21 determines that the detection signal has been received (step S501: YES), the MPU 21 calculates position information with respect to the position of the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal, based on the stored information regarding the arrangement. (Step S502). Specifically, the distance and direction between the own device and the controlled device 1 connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal are calculated based on the information regarding the arrangement.

  The MPU 21 transmits an adjustment signal for adjusting the operating state to the connected controlled device 1 according to the calculated position information (step S503). Thus, the controlled device 1 can be operated in an appropriate operating state according to the distance between the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal and the controlled device 1 connected thereto.

  Hereinafter, the case where the controlled device 1 is a lighting fixture will be described in detail. 1 and FIG. 2, the controlled device 1 is just the lighting fixture 11, and the hardware configuration is the same.

  The function of the control unit 2 is also the same as the functional block diagram shown in FIG. That is, the position calculation unit 203 of the control unit 2 in FIG. 3 calculates the distance from the luminaire 11 connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the received detection signal as the position information. The adjustment signal transmission unit 204 transmits an adjustment signal for adjusting the lighting to be lit at a lower luminance as the calculated distance is larger, to the connected lighting fixture 11.

  The adjustment signal transmission unit 204 is connected to an adjustment signal for lighting at a predetermined luminance when the distance from the lighting fixture 11 connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. You may transmit to the lighting fixture 11 which exists. In other words, when the position where a person is present is a predetermined distance or more away, for example, by turning on the luminaire 11 with low brightness, it is possible to reduce power consumption and It is also possible to check the situation visually.

  For example, when the luminaire 11 is arranged vertically and horizontally, the luminance for lighting the luminaire 11 can be adjusted according to the position where the person is present. FIG. 6 is an exemplary diagram showing the arrangement and lighting states of the lighting fixtures 11 of the control system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  In the example of FIG. 6, five lighting fixtures 11 are arranged vertically and horizontally, and one lighting fixture 11 is arranged at each of A 1, A 2,..., E 4, E 5. For example, when the control unit 2 connected to the luminaire 11 arranged in C3 receives a signal indicating that the presence of a person has been detected from the human sensor 3, a detection signal is sent to each control unit 2. The control unit 2 that has been transmitted and that has received the detection signal transmits an adjustment signal to be lit at the luminance indicated by A1, A2,.

  Specifically, the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal transmits an adjustment signal for lighting the connected lighting fixture 11 with the highest first luminance, which is 100% in the example of FIG. To do. That is, the luminaire 11 arranged at the position where the presence of a person is detected lights up brightest.

  Next, the control unit 2 connected to the luminaire 11 disposed in the position adjacent to the luminaire 11 connected to the control unit 2 that is a transmission source of the detection signal in the vertical and horizontal directions is connected. An adjustment signal for lighting at a second luminance lower than the first luminance, 75% in the example of FIG.

  Similarly, it is connected to the lighting fixture 11 arranged at the position next to the position in the diagonal direction of the lighting fixture 11 connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal, or the position adjacent to the vertical and horizontal directions. The control unit 2 transmits to the connected lighting fixture 11 an adjustment signal for lighting at a third brightness lower than the second brightness, that is, 50% brightness in the example of FIG.

  And the control unit 2 connected to the lighting fixture 11 arrange | positioned in positions other than the above is the 4th brightness | luminance lower than 3rd brightness with respect to the connected lighting fixture 11, FIG. In the example, an adjustment signal for lighting at a luminance of 25% is transmitted. In this way, a lighting pattern is stored in which the lighting fixture 11 connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal is the brightest and the luminance is gradually lowered as the distance from the lighting fixture 11 increases. As a result, the power consumption can be suppressed, and the situation at a remote location can be visually confirmed.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the MPU 21 of the control unit 2 when the human sensor 3 of the control system according to the first embodiment of the present invention detects the presence of a person. The MPU 21 of the control unit 2 determines whether or not a signal indicating that the presence of a person has been detected is received from the connected human sensor 3 (step S701). When the MPU 21 determines that it has not received a signal indicating that the presence of a person has been detected (step S701: NO), the MPU 21 enters a reception waiting state.

  When the MPU 21 determines that it has received a signal indicating that the presence of a person has been detected (step S701: YES), the MPU 21 moves the human sensor 3 to the control unit 2 connected to the other lighting fixtures 11. A detection signal indicating that the presence of the device has been detected is transmitted simultaneously (step S702). All of the control units 2 capable of wireless communication can be notified that the human sensor 3 has detected the presence of a person, and the computer program of each control unit 2 allows the connected lighting fixtures 11 to be connected. The brightness can be adjusted.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a procedure for adjusting the lighting state of the lighting fixture 11 of the MPU 21 of the control unit 2 of the control system 2 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 8, it is assumed that the lighting fixtures 11 are arranged vertically and horizontally. The MPU 21 of the control unit 2 determines whether or not a detection signal indicating that the human sensor 3 has detected the presence of a person has been received (step S801). When the MPU 21 determines that the detection signal has not been received (step S801: NO), the MPU 21 enters a reception waiting state.

  When the MPU 21 determines that the detection signal has been received (step S801: YES), the MPU 21 calculates position information with respect to the position of the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal, based on the stored information regarding the arrangement. (Step S802). Specifically, the distance and direction from the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal are calculated based on the information regarding the arrangement.

  The MPU 21 determines where the position of the lighting fixture 11 connected to the control unit 2 is based on the calculated position information. First, MPU21 judges whether the connected lighting fixture 11 is the lighting fixture 11 connected to the control unit 2 which is a transmission source of a detection signal (step S803). When the MPU 21 determines that the lighting fixture 11 is connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal (step S803: YES), the MPU 21 is the highest with respect to the connected lighting fixture 11. An adjustment signal for lighting at a first luminance, for example, a luminance of 100% is transmitted (step S804). Thereby, the lighting fixture 11 arrange | positioned in the position which detected the presence of a person lights up brightest.

  When the MPU 21 determines that the lighting fixture 11 is not connected to the control unit 2 that is the source of the detection signal (step S803: NO), the MPU 21 is connected to the control unit 2 that is the source of the detection signal. It is determined whether or not the lighting fixture 11 is disposed at a position adjacent to the lighting fixture 11 in the vertical and horizontal directions (step S805). When it is determined that the MPU 21 is the luminaire 11 arranged at a position adjacent to the luminaire 11 connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal in the vertical and horizontal directions (step S805: YES), the MPU 21 Transmits to the connected lighting fixture 11 an adjustment signal for lighting at a second luminance lower than the first luminance, for example, 75% luminance (step S806).

  When the MPU 21 determines that the lighting fixture 11 is not located at a position adjacent to the lighting fixture 11 connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal in the vertical and horizontal directions (step S805: NO), the MPU 21 Indicates whether or not the lighting fixture 11 is arranged at a position in the diagonal direction of the lighting fixture 11 connected to the control unit 2 that is a transmission source of the detection signal or a position next to a position adjacent in the vertical and horizontal directions. Judgment is made (step S807). The MPU 21 is determined to be the luminaire 11 that is arranged at a position next to the position in the diagonal direction or the position adjacent to the vertical and horizontal directions of the luminaire 11 connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal. In the case (step S807: YES), the MPU 21 transmits an adjustment signal for lighting the connected lighting fixture 11 with a third brightness lower than the second brightness, for example, 50% brightness (step S808). ).

  MPU21 determined that it is not the lighting fixture 11 arrange | positioned in the position next to the position of the diagonal direction of the lighting fixture 11 connected to the control unit 2 which is a transmission source of a detection signal, or the position adjacent to the vertical / horizontal direction. In the case (step S807: NO), the MPU 21 transmits an adjustment signal for lighting the connected lighting fixture 11 with a fourth brightness lower than the third brightness, for example, a brightness of 25% (step S809). ). In this way, a lighting pattern is stored in which the lighting fixture 11 connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal is the brightest and the luminance is gradually lowered as the distance from the lighting fixture 11 increases. As a result, the power consumption can be suppressed, and the situation at a remote location can be visually confirmed.

  For example, all the luminaires 11 may be constantly lit at the fourth luminance, for example, 25% luminance, and the luminance may be changed only when an adjustment signal is received. In this case, it is not necessary to transmit the adjustment signal in step S809 in FIG.

  Moreover, you may make it the lighting fixture 11 light-extinguish after measuring a fixed time with a timer after receiving an adjustment signal. In this case, when the lighting device 11 is turned on, a detection signal is received from the control unit 2 connected to the other lighting device 11, and an adjustment signal for adjusting the lighting to be higher than the lighting luminance is transmitted. It is preferable to reset the clocking by the timer and reset the clocking.

  FIG. 9 is an exemplary timing chart showing the lighting timing of the lighting fixture 11 by the control system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 9A is an exemplary diagram showing the arrangement of the lighting fixtures 11, and FIG. 9B is a timing chart showing the lighting state of each lighting fixture 11.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, in this embodiment, six lighting fixtures 11 are arranged in the A row and five in the B row. ID = A1, A2,..., A6, B1, B2,. And the example which changes the brightness | luminance only when all the lighting fixtures 11 are always lighted by the 4th brightness | luminance, for example, the brightness | luminance of 25%, and the adjustment signal is received is demonstrated.

  The first report of the detection signal is transmitted simultaneously from the control unit 2 connected to the luminaire 11 with ID = A4, and the second report of the detection signal is the control unit connected to the luminaire 11 with ID = B2. 2 is broadcast simultaneously. When the control unit 2 connected to the luminaire 11 with ID = A4 is the source of the detection signal, it is connected to the luminaire 11 with ID = A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, B3, B4, B5. An adjustment signal is transmitted from the control unit 2 to the luminaire 11 connected thereto. Similarly, when the control unit 2 connected to the luminaire 11 with ID = B2 is the source of the detection signal, the luminaire 11 with ID = A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, B4 is used. An adjustment signal is transmitted from the connected control unit 2 to each of the connected lighting fixtures 11.

  In FIG.9 (b), the lighting state for every ID is shown with the arrow in parallel with the time-axis t. A thin arrow indicates a state of lighting at a luminance of 25%, and a thick arrow indicates a state of lighting at a luminance of 50% or more.

  First, at t = t1, when the first report of the detection signal is simultaneously transmitted from the control unit 2 connected to the luminaire 11 with ID = A4, ID = A2, A3, A4 from which the adjustment signal is transmitted , A5, A6, B3, B4, B5, the luminance of the luminaire 11 is changed to 50% or more, and the timer of each connected control unit 2 is activated to start timing. When t = t3 is reached without transmitting the next adjustment signal, the luminance is set to return to 25% at t = t3.

  However, in this embodiment, at the timing before reaching t = t3, that is, at t = t2, the second report of the detection signal is simultaneously transmitted from the luminaire 11 with ID = B2. In this case, an adjustment signal is transmitted to the luminaire 11 having ID = A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, and B4.

  Here, for the lighting fixtures 11 with ID = A1, B1, and B2, at t = t2, the timers of the connected control units 2 are started to start timing. When t = t4 is reached without transmitting the next adjustment signal, the luminance is set to return to 25% at t = t4.

  On the other hand, an adjustment signal for adjusting to turn on with high brightness is transmitted during lighting, and the luminaire 11 of ID = A2, A3, B3, B4 resets the timer of the connected control unit 2, and t = Time counting starts again from t2. When t = t4 is reached without transmitting the next adjustment signal, the luminance is returned to 25% at t = t4. Therefore, the same effect is obtained as when the lighting time is extended at a luminance of 50% or more as a total.

  In addition, when the control unit 2 receives a plurality of adjustment signals, it is preferable to turn on the luminaire 11 in preference to the adjustment signal that is adjusted so as to light up with high luminance. This is because the luminaire 11 that is instructed to be turned on with high luminance can be reliably turned on with high luminance. In the case of FIG. 9, an adjustment signal for lighting at a luminance of 50% or more is transmitted to a place that is always lit at a luminance of 25%. Therefore, the luminance may be changed according to the received adjustment signal.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, one control unit 2 connected to one controlled device 1 is connected to another controlled device 2 when the presence sensor 3 detects the presence of a person. A detection signal indicating that the presence of a person has been detected is transmitted to another control unit 2 connected to the control device 1. When the other control unit 2 receives the detection signal, the other control unit 2 calculates position information with respect to the position of the one control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal based on the stored information on the arrangement, and the calculated position information In response to this, an adjustment signal for adjusting the operating state is transmitted to the connected controlled device 1. Thereby, based on the relationship between the position where the detected person exists and the position where the controlled apparatus 1 is installed, the operating state of the controlled apparatus 1 can be controlled. As well as being able to visually confirm the surroundings, it is possible to effectively suppress the power consumption.

(Embodiment 2)
The control system according to the second embodiment has the same basic configuration as the control system according to the first embodiment. However, the controlled device 1 is different from the first embodiment in that the controlled device 1 is an air conditioner 12. FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a control system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the control system according to the second embodiment is connected so that a plurality of control units 2 that control the operating states of a plurality of air conditioners 12 to be controlled can communicate with each other. ing. FIG. 10 shows an example in which the communication lines 5 are connected via the network 4, but they may be connected to each other by wireless communication via a wireless LAN or the like. Hereinafter, as in the first embodiment, the case where the control units 2 are connected so as to be able to perform data communication by wireless communication will be described.

  A human sensor 3 is connected to the control unit 2. As the human sensor 3, for example, an infrared sensor or an ultrasonic sensor is used. When a person enters the detection range of the human sensor 3, the human sensor 3 detects the presence of the person and transmits a signal indicating the detection to the connected control unit 2.

  The human sensor 3 is installed in the vicinity of the air conditioner 12 connected via the control unit 2. Therefore, when the human sensor 3 detects the presence of a person, the person is present in the vicinity of the pair of air conditioners 12 and the control unit 2 connected thereto. In the second embodiment, it is assumed that the positions of the air conditioner 12, the control unit 2, and the human sensor 3 are substantially the same.

  In addition, since the structure of the control unit 2 of the control system which concerns on Embodiment 2 of this invention is the same as that of Embodiment 1, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted by attaching | subjecting the same code | symbol.

  Further, the functional block diagram of the control unit 2 of the control system according to the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as FIG. 3 of the first embodiment. That is, the detection signal transmission unit 201 of the control unit 2 according to the second embodiment sends a detection signal indicating that the human sensor 3 has detected the presence of a person to the control unit 2 connected to another air conditioner 12. Send. The detection signal includes at least flag information indicating that the presence of a person is detected and identification information (ID) of the air conditioner 12 to which the detected human sensor 3 is connected. Thereby, it can notify to the control unit 2 connected to the other air conditioner 12 that the human sensitive sensor 3 detected the presence of a person.

  The detection signal receiving unit 202 receives a detection signal indicating that the human sensor 3 has detected the presence of a person from the control unit 2 connected to another air conditioner 12. Based on the identification information of the air conditioner 12 included in the detection signal, it can be specified which human sensor 3 has reacted, and the position where the person exists can be grasped by each control unit 2.

  When the position calculation unit 203 receives a detection signal indicating that the presence of a person has been detected from another control unit 2, the position calculation unit 203 determines the position of the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal based on the stored information on the arrangement. The position information for is calculated. Specifically, the distance and direction between the own machine and the air conditioner 12 connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal are calculated based on the information regarding the arrangement.

  The adjustment signal transmission unit 204 transmits to the connected air conditioner 12 an adjustment signal for adjusting the air volume to be weaker as the calculated distance is larger. If the distance from the air conditioner 12 connected to the control unit 2 that is the source of the detection signal is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, an adjustment signal for operating with a predetermined air volume may be transmitted to the connected air conditioner 12 good. In other words, when the position where a person is present is at a distance greater than or equal to a predetermined value, for example, by operating the air conditioner 12 with a weak air flow, power consumption can be suppressed and the surroundings can be kept at an appropriate temperature. It is also possible to adjust.

  For example, when the air conditioner 12 is arranged vertically and horizontally, the air volume for operating the air conditioner 12 can be adjusted according to the position where the person is present. FIG. 11 is an exemplary diagram showing an arrangement and an operating state of the air conditioner 12 of the control system according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

  In the example of FIG. 11, five air conditioners 12 are arranged vertically and horizontally, and one air conditioner 12 is arranged for each of A1, A2,..., E4, E5. For example, when the control unit 2 connected to the air conditioner 12 arranged in C3 receives a signal indicating the presence of a person from the human sensor 3, a detection signal is sent to each control unit 2. The control unit 2 transmitted and receiving the detection signal transmits to the connected air conditioner 12 an adjustment signal for operating with the air volumes indicated by A1, A2,..., E4, E5, respectively.

  Specifically, the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal transmits to the connected air conditioner 12 an adjustment signal that operates with the strongest first air volume, which is 100% in the example of FIG. To do. That is, the air conditioner 12 arranged at the position where the presence of a person is detected operates most strongly.

  Next, the control unit 2 connected to the air conditioner 12 that is disposed at a position adjacent to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal in the vertical and horizontal directions of the air conditioner 12 is connected. An adjustment signal is transmitted to the air conditioner 12 to operate with a second air volume that is weaker than the first air volume, which is 75% in the example of FIG.

  Similarly, the air conditioner 12 connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal is connected to the air conditioner 12 that is disposed at an oblique position or a position next to the position adjacent in the vertical and horizontal directions. The control unit 2 transmits, to the connected air conditioner 12, an adjustment signal for operating with a third air volume that is weaker than the second air volume, that is, 50% in the example of FIG.

  And the control unit 2 connected to the air conditioner 12 arrange | positioned in positions other than the above is the 4th air volume weaker than a 3rd air volume with respect to the connected air conditioner 12, FIG. In the example, an adjustment signal for operating at an air volume of 25% is transmitted. In this way, an operation pattern is stored in which the air conditioner 12 connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal is the strongest and the air volume is gradually decreased as the distance from the air conditioner 12 increases. As a result, the power consumption can be suppressed and the surroundings can be adjusted to an appropriate temperature.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the MPU 21 of the control unit 2 when the human sensor 3 of the control system according to the second embodiment of the present invention detects the presence of a person. The MPU 21 of the control unit 2 determines whether or not a signal indicating that the presence of a person has been detected is received from the connected human sensor 3 (step S1201). When the MPU 21 determines that it has not received a signal indicating that the presence of a person has been detected (step S1201: NO), the MPU 21 enters a reception waiting state.

  When the MPU 21 determines that it has received a signal indicating that the presence of a person has been detected (step S1201: YES), the MPU 21 moves the human sensor 3 to the control unit 2 connected to the other air conditioner 12. A detection signal indicating that the presence of the device is detected is transmitted all at once (step S1202). All of the control units 2 capable of wireless communication can be informed that the human sensor 3 has detected the presence of a person, and the computer program of each control unit 2 allows each of the connected air conditioners 12 to The air volume can be controlled.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the adjustment processing procedure of the operating state of the air conditioner 12 of the MPU 21 of the control unit 2 of the control system according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 13, it is assumed that the air conditioners 12 are arranged vertically and horizontally. The MPU 21 of the control unit 2 determines whether or not a detection signal indicating that the human sensor 3 has detected the presence of a person has been received (step S1301). When the MPU 21 determines that the detection signal has not been received (step S1301: NO), the MPU 21 enters a reception waiting state.

  When the MPU 21 determines that the detection signal has been received (step S1301: YES), the MPU 21 calculates position information with respect to the position of the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal, based on the stored information regarding the arrangement. (Step S1302). Specifically, the distance and direction from the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal are calculated based on the information regarding the arrangement.

  The MPU 21 determines where the position of the air conditioner 12 connected to the control unit 2 is based on the calculated position information. First, the MPU 21 determines whether or not the connected air conditioner 12 is the air conditioner 12 connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal (step S1303). When the MPU 21 determines that the air conditioner 12 is connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal (step S1303: YES), the MPU 21 is the strongest against the connected air conditioner 12 An adjustment signal for operating at the first air volume, for example, 100%, is transmitted (step S1304). Thereby, the air conditioner 12 arrange | positioned in the position which detected presence of a person operate | moves with the strongest air volume.

  When the MPU 21 determines that the air conditioner 12 is not connected to the control unit 2 that is the source of the detection signal (step S1303: NO), the MPU 21 is connected to the control unit 2 that is the source of the detection signal. It is determined whether or not the air conditioner 12 is located at a position adjacent to the air conditioner 12 in the vertical and horizontal directions (step S1305). When it is determined that the MPU 21 is the air conditioner 12 that is disposed at a position adjacent to the air conditioner 12 that is connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal (step S1305: YES), the MPU 21 Transmits an adjustment signal for operating the connected air conditioner 12 with a second air volume that is weaker than the first air volume, for example, 75% (step S1306).

  When the MPU 21 determines that the air conditioner 12 is not located at a position adjacent to the air conditioner 12 connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal in the vertical and horizontal directions (step S1305: NO), the MPU 21 Indicates whether or not the air conditioner 12 is located at the position next to the position in the diagonal direction or the position adjacent to the vertical and horizontal directions of the air conditioner 12 connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal. Judgment is made (step S1307). The MPU 21 determines that the air conditioner 12 is located at the position next to the position in the diagonal direction or the position adjacent to the vertical and horizontal directions of the air conditioner 12 connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal. In the case (step S1307: YES), the MPU 21 transmits an adjustment signal for operating the connected air conditioner 12 with a third air volume that is weaker than the second air volume, for example, 50% (step S1308). ).

  MPU21 determined that it is not the air conditioner 12 arrange | positioned in the position next to the position of the diagonal direction of the air conditioner 12 connected to the control unit 2 which is a transmission source of a detection signal, or the position adjacent to the vertical / horizontal direction. In the case (step S1307: NO), the MPU 21 transmits an adjustment signal for operating the connected air conditioner 12 with a fourth air volume that is weaker than the third air volume, for example, 25% (step S1309). ). As described above, the air flow of the air conditioner 12 connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal is the strongest, and the operation pattern that operates so that the air flow gradually decreases as the distance from the air conditioner 12 is stored. Thus, the power consumption can be suppressed and the surroundings can be adjusted to an appropriate temperature.

  For example, all the air conditioners 12 may be always operated with a fourth air volume, for example, 25%, and the air volume may be changed only when an adjustment signal is received. In this case, it is not necessary to transmit the adjustment signal in step S1309 in FIG.

  In addition, the air conditioner 12 may be stopped after receiving an adjustment signal and measuring a certain time with a timer. In this case, while one air conditioner 12 is in operation, a detection signal is received from the control unit 2 connected to the other air conditioner 12, and an adjustment signal is sent to adjust the air flow to be stronger than the current air flow. When doing so, it is preferable to reset the time measured by the timer and start again.

  FIG. 14 is an exemplary timing chart showing the operation timing of the air conditioner 12 by the control system according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 14A is an exemplary diagram showing the arrangement of the air conditioners 12, and FIG. 14B is a timing chart showing the operating state of each air conditioner 12.

  As shown in FIG. 14A, in the present embodiment, six air conditioners 12 are arranged in the A row and five air conditioners 12 are arranged in the B row. ID = A1, A2,..., A6, B1, B2,. An example is described in which all air conditioners 12 are always operated with a fourth air volume, for example, 25% air volume, and the air volume is changed only when an adjustment signal is received.

  The first report of the detection signal is simultaneously transmitted from the control unit 2 connected to the air conditioner 12 with ID = A4, and the second report of the detection signal is the control unit connected to the air conditioner 12 with ID = B2. Broadcast from 2 at the same time. When the control unit 2 connected to the air conditioner 12 with ID = A4 is the source of the detection signal, it is connected to the air conditioner 12 with ID = A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, B3, B4, B5. An adjustment signal is transmitted from the control unit 2 to the connected air conditioner 12. Similarly, when the control unit 2 connected to the air conditioner 12 with ID = B2 is the source of the detection signal, the air conditioner 12 with ID = A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, B4 An adjustment signal is transmitted from the connected control unit 2 to each connected air conditioner 12.

  In FIG. 14B, the operation state for each ID is indicated by an arrow in parallel with the time axis t. A thin arrow indicates a state where the air flow is operating at 25%, and a thick arrow indicates a state where the air flow is operating at 50% or more.

  First, when the first report of the detection signal is simultaneously transmitted from the control unit 2 connected to the air conditioner 12 with ID = A4 at t = t1, ID = A2, A3, A4 from which the adjustment signal is transmitted. , A5, A6, B3, B4, B5, the air volume of the air conditioner 12 is changed to 50% or more, and the timer of each connected control unit 2 is activated to start timing. When t = t3 is reached without transmitting the next adjustment signal, the air volume is set to return to 25% at t = t3.

  However, in this embodiment, at the timing before reaching t = t3, that is, at t = t2, the second report of the detection signal is simultaneously transmitted from the air conditioner 12 with ID = B2. In this case, an adjustment signal is transmitted to the air conditioners 12 with ID = A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, B4.

  Here, for the air conditioners 12 of ID = A1, B1, B2, at t = t2, the timers of the connected control units 2 are started to start timing. When t = t4 is reached without transmitting the next adjustment signal, the air volume is set to return to 25% at t = t4.

  On the other hand, an adjustment signal for adjusting to operate with a strong air volume during operation is transmitted, and the air conditioner 12 of ID = A2, A3, B3, B4 resets the timer of the connected control unit 2, and t = Time counting starts again from t2. When t = t4 is reached without transmitting the next adjustment signal, the air volume is returned to 25% at t = t4. Therefore, the same effect as that in which the operation time at the air volume of 50% or more is extended as a total is obtained.

  In addition, when the control unit 2 receives a plurality of adjustment signals, it is preferable to operate the air conditioner 12 with priority given to the adjustment signal that is adjusted to operate with a strong air flow. This is because the air conditioner 12 that is instructed to operate with a strong air volume can be reliably operated with a strong air volume. In the case of FIG. 14, an adjustment signal for operating at an air volume of 50% or more is transmitted to a place that is always operating at an air volume of 25%. Therefore, the air volume may be changed according to the received adjustment signal.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, the air conditioner 12 at the position where the person exists is operated with a strong air flow, and the other air conditioners 12 operate according to the positional relationship with the position where the person exists. Therefore, it is possible to adjust not only the position where the person is present but also the surroundings to an appropriate temperature, and the power consumption can be effectively suppressed.

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the CPU 101 of the control device 10 of the control system according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The CPU 101 of the control device 10 determines whether or not a detection signal indicating that the human sensor 3 has detected the presence of a person has been received from the controlled device 1 (step S1801). When the CPU 101 determines that the detection signal has not been received (step S1801: NO), the CPU 101 enters a reception waiting state.

  When the CPU 101 determines that the detection signal has been received (step S1801: YES), the CPU 101 calculates position information for the position of the controlled device 1 that is the transmission source of the detection signal, based on the stored information regarding the arrangement. (Step S1802). Specifically, the distance and direction between the controlled device 1 that is the source of the detection signal and the other controlled device 1 are calculated based on the information related to the arrangement.

  In accordance with the calculated position information, the CPU 101 transmits an adjustment signal for adjusting the operating state to the controlled device 1 (step S1803). Thereby, according to the distance with the controlled apparatus 1 which is a transmission origin of a detection signal, the controlled apparatus 1 can be operated in a suitable operating state.

  Hereinafter, the case where the controlled device 1 is a lighting fixture will be described in detail. In FIG. 15, the hardware configuration is the same except that the controlled device 1 is a lighting fixture 11.

  The function of the control device 10 is also the same as the functional block diagram shown in FIG. That is, the position calculation unit 172 in FIG. 17 calculates the distance and direction between the luminaire 11 that is the transmission source of the received detection signal and the other luminaire 11 as the position information. The adjustment signal transmission unit 173 transmits an adjustment signal for adjusting the lighting so as to light at a lower luminance as the calculated distance is larger.

  Note that the adjustment signal transmission unit 173 may transmit an adjustment signal for lighting at a predetermined luminance when the distance between the luminaire 11 that is the source of the detection signal and the other luminaire 11 is a predetermined value or more. . In other words, when the position where a person is present is a predetermined distance or more away, for example, by turning on the luminaire 11 with low brightness, it is possible to reduce power consumption and It is also possible to check the situation visually.

  For example, when the luminaire 11 is arranged vertically and horizontally, the luminance for lighting the luminaire 11 can be adjusted according to the position where the person is present. FIG. 19 is an exemplary diagram showing the arrangement and lighting states of the lighting fixtures 11 of the control system according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.

  In the example of FIG. 19, five lighting fixtures 11 are arranged vertically and horizontally, and one lighting fixture 11 is arranged for each of A1, A2,..., E4, E5. For example, when the luminaire 11 arranged in C3 receives a signal indicating that the presence of a person is detected from the human sensor 3, the control that transmits the detection signal to the control device 10 and receives the detection signal. The apparatus 10 transmits an adjustment signal to be lit at the luminances indicated by A1, A2,.

  Specifically, the control device 10 that has received the detection signal gives an adjustment signal that causes the lighting fixture 11 that is the transmission source of the detection signal to be lit at the highest first luminance, in the example of FIG. Send. That is, the luminaire 11 arranged at the position where the presence of a person is detected lights up brightest.

  Next, the control device 10 has a second luminance lower than the first luminance with respect to the luminaire 11 that is disposed at a position adjacent to the luminaire 11 that is the transmission source of the detection signal in the vertical and horizontal directions. In the example 19, an adjustment signal for lighting at 75% luminance is transmitted. Similarly, the control device 10 has the second luminance with respect to the luminaire 11 that is disposed at a position that is diagonally adjacent to the position of the luminaire 11 that is the transmission source of the detection signal or that is adjacent to the vertical and horizontal directions. An adjustment signal for lighting at a lower third brightness, that is, 50% brightness in the example of FIG. 19, is transmitted.

  And the control apparatus 10 gives the adjustment signal which makes it light with the 4th brightness | luminance lower than a 3rd brightness | luminance with the brightness | luminance of 25% in the example of FIG. Send. In this way, the lighting fixture 11 that is the transmission source of the detection signal is brightest, and the lighting pattern is turned on so that the brightness gradually decreases as the distance from the lighting fixture 11 increases, thereby suppressing power consumption. In addition, it is possible to visually confirm the situation at a distant place.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the adjustment processing procedure of the lighting state of the luminaire 11 of the CPU 101 of the control device 10 of the control system according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. The CPU 101 of the control device 10 determines whether or not a detection signal indicating that the presence of a person has been detected has been received from the luminaire 11 to which the detected human sensor 3 is connected (step S2001). When the CPU 101 determines that the detection signal has not been received (step S2001: NO), the CPU 101 enters a reception waiting state.

  When the CPU 101 determines that the detection signal has been received (step S2001: YES), the CPU 101 calculates position information with respect to the position of the luminaire 11 that is the transmission source of the detection signal, based on the stored information regarding the arrangement. (Step S2002). Specifically, the distance and direction between the luminaire 11 that is the transmission source of the detection signal and another luminaire are calculated based on the information related to the arrangement. The detection signal includes at least flag information indicating that it has been detected and identification information (ID) of the lighting fixture 11 to which the detected human sensor 3 is connected. Thereby, it can be specified to which lighting fixture 11 the human sensor 3 connected to detects the presence of a person.

  The CPU 101 determines where the position of the luminaire 11 is based on the calculated position information. First, the CPU 101 selects an ID that is identification information of one lighting fixture 11 (step S2003), and determines whether or not the selected lighting fixture 11 is the lighting fixture 11 that is the source of the detection signal. (Step S2004). When the CPU 101 determines that the lighting device 11 is a detection signal transmission source (step S2004: YES), the CPU 101 has the highest first luminance, for example, 100% luminance with respect to the selected lighting device 11. An adjustment signal for lighting is transmitted (step S2005). Thereby, the lighting fixture 11 arrange | positioned in the position which detected the presence of a person lights up brightest.

  When the CPU 101 determines that the lighting device 11 is not the detection signal source (step S2004: NO), the CPU 101 is adjacent to the selected lighting device 11 in the vertical and horizontal directions of the detection signal source. It is determined whether or not the lighting fixture 11 is located at the position to be performed (step S2006). When the CPU 101 determines that the lighting fixture 11 is arranged at a position adjacent to the lighting fixture 11 that is the transmission source of the detection signal in the vertical and horizontal directions (step S2006: YES), the CPU 101 sets the selected lighting fixture 11 to On the other hand, an adjustment signal for lighting at a second luminance lower than the first luminance, for example, a luminance of 75% is transmitted (step S2007).

  When the CPU 101 determines that the lighting fixture 11 is not located at a position adjacent to the lighting fixture 11 that is the source of the detection signal in the vertical and horizontal directions (step S2006: NO), the CPU 101 determines that the selected lighting fixture 11 is Then, it is determined whether or not the lighting fixture 11 is arranged at the position next to the position in the oblique direction or the vertical and horizontal direction of the lighting fixture 11 from which the detection signal is transmitted (step S2008). When the CPU 101 determines that the lighting fixture 11 is arranged at an oblique position or a position adjacent to the vertical / horizontal direction of the lighting fixture 11 from which the detection signal is transmitted (step S2008: YES), the CPU 101 Transmits an adjustment signal for lighting the selected lighting apparatus 11 with a third luminance lower than the second luminance, for example, a luminance of 50% (step S2009).

  When the CPU 101 determines that the selected luminaire 11 is not the luminaire 11 that is arranged at an oblique position or a position adjacent to the vertical / horizontal direction of the luminaire 11 from which the detection signal is transmitted. (Step S2008: NO), the CPU 101 transmits an adjustment signal for lighting the selected lighting fixture 11 with a fourth luminance lower than the third luminance, for example, a luminance of 25% (Step S2010). The CPU 101 determines whether all IDs have been selected (step S2011).

  When the CPU 101 determines that there is an ID that has not yet been selected (step S2011: NO), the CPU 101 selects the next ID (step S2012), returns the process to step S2004, and repeats the above-described process. When the CPU 101 determines that all IDs have been selected (step S2011: YES), the CPU 101 ends the process.

  For example, all the luminaires 11 may be constantly lit at the fourth luminance, for example, 25% luminance, and the luminance may be changed only when a detection signal is received. In this case, it is not necessary to transmit the adjustment signal in step S2010 of FIG.

  Further, the control device 10 may be configured to turn off the destination lighting fixture 11 after the adjustment signal is transmitted and timed by a timer for a certain period of time. In this case, a detection signal is received from the other lighting fixtures 11 while one lighting fixture 11 is lit, and an adjustment signal is transmitted to the one lighting fixture 11 so that it is lit at a higher brightness than that during lighting. When doing so, it is preferable to reset the time measured by the timer and start again.

  FIG. 21 is an exemplary timing chart showing the lighting timing of the lighting fixture 11 by the control system according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. FIG. 21A is an exemplary diagram showing the arrangement of the lighting fixtures 11, and FIG. 21B is a timing chart showing the lighting state of each lighting fixture 11.

  As shown in FIG. 21A, in this embodiment, six luminaires 11 are arranged in the A row and five in the B row. ID = A1, A2,..., A6, B1, B2,. And the case where all the lighting fixtures 11 are always lighted with the 4th brightness | luminance, for example, 25% of brightness | luminance, and a brightness | luminance is changed only as an example is received is demonstrated.

  The first report of the detection signal is transmitted from the luminaire 11 with ID = A4, and the second report of the detection signal is transmitted from the luminaire 11 with ID = B2. When the luminaire 11 with ID = A4 is the source of the detection signal, the adjustment signal is transmitted to the luminaire 11 with ID = A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, B3, B4, and B5. Similarly, when the luminaire 11 with ID = B2 is the source of the detection signal, it is transmitted to the luminaire 11 with ID = A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, B4.

  In FIG.21 (b), the lighting state for every ID is shown with the arrow in parallel with the time-axis t. A thin arrow indicates a state of lighting at a luminance of 25%, and a thick arrow indicates a state of lighting at a luminance of 50% or more.

  First, at t = t1, when the control device 10 receives the first report of the detection signal from the luminaire 11 of ID = A4, the adjustment signal is ID = A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, B3, B4. , B5 is transmitted to the luminaire 11 and the built-in timer is activated at the same time to start timing. When t = t3 is reached without transmitting the next adjustment signal, the luminance is set to return to 25% at t = t3.

  However, in the present embodiment, at the timing before reaching t = t3, that is, at t = t2, the control device 10 receives the second report of the detection signal from the luminaire 11 with ID = B2. In this case, an adjustment signal is transmitted to the luminaire 11 having ID = A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, and B4.

  Here, for the lighting fixtures 11 with ID = A1, B1, B2, at t = t2, the timers are started to start timing. When t = t4 is reached without transmitting the next adjustment signal, the luminance is set to return to 25% at t = t4.

  On the other hand, the illuminating device 11 with ID = A2, A3, B3, B4 to which an adjustment signal for adjusting to turn on with high luminance is turned on during lighting, resets the timer, and starts timing again from t = t2. When t = t4 is reached without transmitting the next adjustment signal, the luminance is returned to 25% at t = t4. Therefore, the same effect is obtained as when the lighting time is extended at a luminance of 50% or more as a total.

  Moreover, when the lighting fixture 11 receives a plurality of adjustment signals, it is preferable that the adjustment signal to be adjusted so as to light up with high luminance is given priority. In the case of FIG. 21, an adjustment signal having a luminance of 50% or more is transmitted to a place that is always lit at a luminance of 25%. Therefore, the luminance may be adjusted according to the adjustment signal.

  As described above, according to the third embodiment, the control device 10 stores the identification information for identifying the controlled device 1 and the information related to the arrangement of the controlled device 1, and the human sensor 3 is a person's presence. Is detected from the controlled device 1 to which the human sensor 3 is connected. When a detection signal is received, position information with respect to the position of the controlled device 1 that is the transmission source of the detection signal is calculated based on the stored information on the arrangement, and the operating state is adjusted according to the calculated position information The adjustment signal to be transmitted is transmitted to the controlled device 1. Thereby, based on the relationship between the position where the detected person exists and the position where the controlled apparatus 1 is installed, the operating state of the controlled apparatus 1 can be controlled. As well as being able to visually confirm the surroundings, it is possible to effectively suppress the power consumption.

(Embodiment 4)
The control system according to the fourth embodiment has the same basic configuration as the control system according to the third embodiment. However, the controlled device 1 is different from the third embodiment in that the controlled device 1 is an air conditioner 12. FIG. 22 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a control system according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 22, in the control system according to the fourth embodiment, the control device 10 that controls the operation state of the plurality of air conditioners 12 to be controlled and the plurality of air conditioners 12 perform data communication with each other. It is possible to be connected. Although FIG. 22 shows an example in which the communication line 5 is connected via the network 4, they may be connected to each other by wireless communication via a wireless LAN or the like. Hereinafter, the case where the control apparatus 10 and the air conditioner 12 are connected so as to be able to perform data communication by wireless communication will be described.

  The human sensor 3 is connected to the air conditioner 12. As the human sensor 3, for example, an infrared sensor or an ultrasonic sensor is used. When a person enters the detection range of the human sensor 3, the human sensor 3 detects the presence of the person and transmits a signal indicating the detection to the connected air conditioner 12.

  The human sensor 3 is installed in the vicinity of the air conditioner 12. Therefore, when the human sensor 3 detects the presence of a person, the person is present in the vicinity of the connected air conditioner 12. In the fourth embodiment, it is assumed that the positions of the air conditioner 12 and the human sensor 3 are substantially the same.

  In addition, since the structure of the control apparatus 10 of the control system which concerns on Embodiment 4 of this invention is the same as that of Embodiment 3, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted by attaching | subjecting the same code | symbol.

  Further, the functional block diagram of the control device 10 of the control system according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention is the same as FIG. 16 of the third embodiment. That is, the detection signal receiving unit 171 of the control device 10 according to Embodiment 4 connects the detection signal indicating that the presence of the person is detected when the presence sensor 3 detects the presence of the person. Received from the air conditioner 12. The detection signal includes at least flag information indicating that the presence of a person is detected and identification information (ID) of the air conditioner 12 to which the detected human sensor 3 is connected. Thereby, it can be specified which air conditioner 12 the human sensor 3 connected to detects the presence of a person.

  When the position calculation unit 172 receives the detection signal, the position calculation unit 172 calculates the position information with respect to the position of the air conditioner 12 that is the transmission source of the detection signal based on the information regarding the arrangement stored in the arrangement information storage unit 110 of the storage device 103. To do. Specifically, the distance and direction from the air conditioner 12 that is the transmission source of the detection signal to the other air conditioners 12 are calculated based on the information related to the arrangement.

  The adjustment signal transmission unit 173 transmits an adjustment signal for adjusting the operating state to the plurality of air conditioners 12 according to the position information calculated by the position calculation unit 172.

  For example, when the air conditioner 12 is arranged vertically and horizontally, the air volume for operating the air conditioner 12 can be adjusted according to the position where the person is present. FIG. 23 is an exemplary diagram showing an arrangement and an operating state of the air conditioner 12 of the control system according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention.

  In the example of FIG. 23, five air conditioners 12 are arranged vertically and horizontally, and one air conditioner 12 is arranged for each of A1, A2,..., E4, E5. For example, when the air conditioner 12 arranged in C3 receives a signal indicating that the presence of a person has been detected from the human sensor 3, a control signal is transmitted to the control device 10 and the control signal is received. The apparatus 10 transmits to the air conditioners 12 adjustment signals that are operated with the air volumes indicated by A1, A2,..., E4, and E5, respectively.

  Specifically, the control device 10 that has received the detection signal gives an adjustment signal that causes the air conditioner 12 that is the transmission source of the detection signal to operate at the strongest first air volume, which is 100% in the example of FIG. Send. That is, the air conditioner 12 arranged at the position where the presence of a person is detected operates with the strongest air volume.

  Next, the control device 10 has a second air volume that is weaker than the first air volume, with respect to the air conditioner 12 that is disposed at a position adjacent to the air conditioner 12 that is the transmission source of the detection signal. In the example of 23, an adjustment signal for operating at an air volume of 75% is transmitted. Similarly, the control device 10 applies a second air volume to the air conditioner 12 that is disposed at an oblique position or an adjacent position in the vertical and horizontal directions of the air conditioner 12 that is the transmission source of the detection signal. An adjustment signal for operating with a weaker third air volume, 50% in the example of FIG. 23, is transmitted.

  Then, the control device 10 gives an adjustment signal for operating the air conditioner 12 arranged at a position other than the above with a fourth air volume that is weaker than the third air volume, which is 25% in the example of FIG. Send. In this way, by storing an operation pattern in which the air volume of the air conditioner 12 that is the transmission source of the detection signal is the strongest and the air volume is gradually decreased as the distance from the air conditioner 12 increases, the power consumption is stored. Can be suppressed and the surroundings can be adjusted to an appropriate temperature.

  FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the adjustment processing procedure of the operating state of the air conditioner 12 of the CPU 101 of the control device 10 of the control system according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. The CPU 101 of the control device 10 determines whether or not a detection signal indicating that the presence of a person has been detected is received from the air conditioner 12 to which the detected human sensor 3 is connected (step S2401). When the CPU 101 determines that the detection signal has not been received (step S2401: NO), the CPU 101 enters a reception waiting state.

  When the CPU 101 determines that the detection signal has been received (step S2401: YES), the CPU 101 calculates position information with respect to the position of the air conditioner 12 that is the transmission source of the detection signal, based on the stored information regarding the arrangement. (Step S2402). Specifically, the distance and direction from the air conditioner 12 that is the transmission source of the detection signal to the other air conditioners 12 are calculated based on the information related to the arrangement. The detection signal includes at least flag information indicating detection and identification information (ID) of the air conditioner 12 to which the detected human sensor 3 is connected. Thereby, it can be specified which air conditioner 12 the human sensor 3 connected to detects the presence of a person.

  The CPU 101 determines where the position of the air conditioner 12 is based on the calculated position information. First, the CPU 101 selects an ID that is identification information of one air conditioner 12 (step S2403), and determines whether or not the selected air conditioner 12 is the air conditioner 12 that has transmitted the detection signal. (Step S2404). When the CPU 101 determines that the air conditioner 12 is the source of the detection signal (step S2404: YES), the CPU 101 has the strongest first air volume, for example, 100%, with respect to the selected air conditioner 12. An adjustment signal to be activated is transmitted (step S2405). Thereby, the air conditioner 12 in the position where the presence of a person is detected operates with the strongest air volume.

  If the CPU 101 determines that the air conditioner 12 is not the detection signal source (step S2404: NO), the CPU 101 is adjacent to the selected air conditioner 12 in the vertical and horizontal directions. It is determined whether or not the air conditioner 12 is located at the position to be operated (step S2406). When the CPU 101 determines that the air conditioner 12 is located at a position adjacent to the air conditioner 12 that is the transmission source of the detection signal in the vertical and horizontal directions (step S2406: YES), the CPU 101 sets the selected air conditioner 12 to the selected air conditioner 12. On the other hand, an adjustment signal for operating at a second air volume that is weaker than the first air volume, eg, 75%, is transmitted (step S2407).

  When the CPU 101 determines that the air conditioner 12 is not located at a position adjacent to the air conditioner 12 in the vertical and horizontal directions of the detection signal transmission source (step S2406: NO), the CPU 101 determines that the selected air conditioner 12 is Then, it is determined whether or not the air conditioner 12 is located at the position next to the position in the diagonal direction or the position adjacent in the vertical and horizontal directions of the air conditioner 12 from which the detection signal is transmitted (step S2408). When the CPU 101 determines that the air conditioner 12 is disposed at an oblique position of the air conditioner 12 that is the transmission source of the detection signal or at a position next to the position adjacent to the vertical or horizontal direction (step S2408: YES), the CPU 101 Transmits an adjustment signal for operating the selected air conditioner 12 with a third air volume that is weaker than the second air volume, for example, 50% (step S2409).

  When the CPU 101 determines that the selected air conditioner 12 is not the air conditioner 12 that is disposed at an oblique position or a position adjacent to the vertical and horizontal directions of the air conditioner 12 that has transmitted the detection signal. (Step S2408: NO), the CPU 101 transmits, to the selected air conditioner 12, an adjustment signal for operating with a fourth air volume that is weaker than the third air volume, for example, 25% (step S2410). The CPU 101 determines whether all IDs have been selected (step S2411).

  When the CPU 101 determines that there is an ID that has not yet been selected (step S2411: NO), the CPU 101 selects the next ID (step S2412), returns the process to step S2404, and repeats the above-described process. When the CPU 101 determines that all IDs have been selected (step S2411: YES), the CPU 101 ends the process.

  For example, all the air conditioners 12 may be always operated with a fourth air volume, for example, 25% air volume, and the air volume may be changed only when a detection signal is received. In this case, it is not necessary to transmit the adjustment signal in step S2410 of FIG.

  In addition, the control device 10 may stop the transmission destination air conditioner 12 after the adjustment signal has been transmitted and then timed by a timer for a certain period of time. In this case, while one air conditioner 12 is operating, a detection signal is received from the other air conditioner 12, and an adjustment signal is sent to the one air conditioner 12 so that the air flow is adjusted to be stronger than the current air volume. When doing so, it is preferable to reset the time measured by the timer and start again.

  FIG. 25 is an exemplary timing chart showing the operation timing of the air conditioner 12 by the control system according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 25A is an exemplary diagram showing the arrangement of the air conditioners 12, and FIG. 25B is a timing chart showing the operating state of each air conditioner 12.

  In the example of FIG. 25, as shown in FIG. 25A, six air conditioners 12 are arranged in the A row and five air conditioners 12 are arranged in the B row. ID = A1, A2,..., A6, B1, B2,. And the case where all the air conditioners 12 are always operated by the 4th air volume, for example, the air volume of 25%, and the air volume is changed only when the adjustment signal is received is described as an example.

  In the example of FIG. 25, the first report of the detection signal is transmitted from the air conditioner 12 with ID = A4, and the second report of the detection signal is transmitted from the air conditioner 12 with ID = B2. When the air conditioner 12 with ID = A4 is the source of the detection signal, the adjustment signal is transmitted to the air conditioners 12 with ID = A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, B3, B4, and B5. Similarly, when the air conditioner 12 with ID = B2 is the transmission source of the detection signal, it is transmitted to the air conditioner 12 with ID = A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, B4.

  In FIG.25 (b), the operation state for every ID is shown with the arrow in parallel with the time-axis t. A thin arrow indicates a state where the air flow is operating at 25%, and a thick arrow indicates a state where the air flow is operating at 50% or more.

  First, at t = t1, when the control device 10 receives the first report of the detection signal from the air conditioner 12 of ID = A4, the adjustment signal is ID = A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, B3, B4. , B5 and the built-in timer are started simultaneously with transmission to the air conditioner 12 of B5. When t = t3 is reached without transmitting the next adjustment signal, the air volume is set to return to 25% at t = t3.

  However, in the present embodiment, at the timing before reaching t = t3, that is, at t = t2, the control device 10 receives the second report of the detection signal from the air conditioner 12 with ID = B2. In this case, an adjustment signal is transmitted to the air conditioners 12 with ID = A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, B4.

  Here, for the air conditioners 12 having IDs of A1, B1, and B2, the timers are started and time measurement is started at t = t2. When t = t4 is reached without transmitting the next adjustment signal, the air volume is set to return to 25% at t = t4.

  On the other hand, the adjustment signal for adjusting to operate with a strong air volume during operation, the air conditioner 12 of ID = A2, A3, B3, B4 resets the timer and starts counting again from t = t2. When t = t4 is reached without transmitting the next adjustment signal, the air volume is returned to 25% at t = t4. Therefore, the same effect as that in which the operation time at the air volume of 50% or more is extended as a total is obtained.

  In addition, when the air conditioner 12 receives a plurality of adjustment signals, it is preferable to prioritize the adjustment signal that is adjusted so as to operate with a strong air volume. In the case of FIG. 25, an adjustment signal with an air volume of 50% or more is transmitted to a place that is always operating at an air volume of 25%, so the air volume may be adjusted according to the adjustment signal.

  As described above, according to the fourth embodiment, the air conditioner 12 at the position where the person exists is operated with a strong air flow, and the other air conditioners 12 operate according to the positional relationship with the position where the person exists. Therefore, it is possible to adjust not only the position where the person is present but also the surroundings to an appropriate temperature, and the power consumption can be effectively suppressed.

  In addition, it goes without saying that the embodiment described above can be changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the function of the control device 10 in the third and fourth embodiments may be executed by one control unit 2 in the first and second embodiments, and the operation state of the other control unit 2 may be controlled. That is, a control system may be realized by using one control unit 2 as a master unit and another control unit 2 as a slave unit, or a plurality of control units 2 may be used as master units to distribute the load.

  Further, as shown in the above-described embodiment, when the lighting device 11, the air conditioner 12, and the like, which are controlled devices 1, are arranged vertically and horizontally, the human sensor 3 that detects the presence of a person is connected. Although the adjustment signal which adjusts so that an operation state may weaken so that it leaves | separates in order from the to-be-controlled device 1 which is present, it is not specifically limited to this.

  For example, since the movement history can be estimated by storing the movement history for the position of the source of the detection signal of the human sensor 3, the operating state of the controlled device 1 can be estimated for the estimated movement direction. You may make it strengthen. When the controlled device 1 is an air conditioner 12, the air volume of the air conditioner 12 that is a transmission source of the detection signal may not be increased, and the air volume of the air conditioners 12 arranged around may be increased. Thus, various variations are conceivable for the control pattern of the operating state.

  Furthermore, as shown in the above-described embodiment, it is not limited to the method of storing the control pattern of the operating state corresponding to the position where the person is present and controlling the operating state. For example, receiving the detection signal The content of the adjustment signal to be transmitted may be changed according to the signal strength. In this case, it is only necessary to transmit an adjustment signal for controlling the operation state to be strengthened for the controlled device 1 having a higher received signal strength, and therefore it is not necessary to store the control pattern of the operation state.

  In addition, depending on the arrangement of the human sensors 3, it is assumed that only one of the human sensors 3 detects the presence of a person even though a plurality of human sensors 3 should originally detect the presence of a person. Is done. Even in such a case, in order to operate the controlled device 1 without a sense of incongruity, other controlled devices 1 around the one controlled device 1 connected to the human sensor 3 that detects the presence of a person are also used. An adjustment signal for adjusting the operation state to be equivalent to that of the one controlled device 1 may be transmitted.

  In the above-described embodiment, the distance and direction between the own device and the controlled device 1 connected to the control unit 2 that is the transmission source of the detection signal are calculated based on the information related to the arrangement. However, it is not particularly limited to this. For example, a necessary adjustment signal may be transmitted by calculating only the distance without calculating the direction.

  Furthermore, although the human sensor 3 and the controlled device 1 have a one-to-one relationship in the above-described embodiment, the human sensor 3 and the controlled device 1 are not necessarily in a one-to-one relationship. May be. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of controlled devices 1 arranged in three rows are arranged as one set, and one human sensor 3 is provided for each set. In this case, for example, the human sensor 3 is attached to the controlled device 1 arranged in the central row, and the controlled devices 1 arranged in both rows across the human sensor 3 are wirelessly or wired. What is necessary is just to be connected to the controlled device 1 arranged in the central row so as to be able to perform data communication and to be controlled according to the controlled device 1 arranged in the central row.
