It is the flowchart which showed an example of the equipment state determination processing in the information center of the housing equipment monitoring system which concerns on embodiment of this invention.

  Hereinafter, an example of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a housing equipment monitoring system 10 according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, a HEMS (Home Energy Management System) 30 and an information center 60 provided in the building 100 are included. The building 100 shown in FIG. 1 shows a single-family house, but in the present embodiment, the building 100 also includes an apartment house in which a plurality of households live. In the case of an apartment house, each living space of a plurality of households is a building 100.

  The HEMS 30 has a function of managing the usage state of electric power as energy used in the building 100, the operating states of the air conditioner 32, the living room lighting 34, the other lighting 36, the entrance lighting 38, and the electric lock 40 at the entrance door. The locked state of the window key and the open / closed state of the electric shutter 44 are detected. In the present embodiment, the air conditioner 32, the living room lighting 34, the other lighting 36, the entrance lighting 38, the electric lock 40, and the electric shutter 44 are collectively referred to as housing equipment. Each of the housing equipment transmits a signal indicating the operating status to HEMS 30, and HEMS 30 determines the operating status of each of the housing equipment based on the signal.

  Alternatively, each of the housing equipment may be provided with a sensor that detects an operating condition. Specifically, a current sensor is provided in each of the air conditioner 32, the living room lighting 34, the other lighting 36, and the entrance lighting 38, which are power loads, and the current sensor detects a predetermined current value according to each power load. In this case, it is determined that the household equipment, which is the power load, is operating. In the case of the electric lock 40, whether or not the bolt of the electric lock 40 is in the locked position is detected by a piezoelectric sensor or the like. For example, when the piezoelectric sensor is pressed by the locked bolt and outputs a predetermined electric signal, it can be determined that the electric lock 40 is locked. In the case of the electric shutter 44, the electric shutter 44 is closed to the bottom surface of the window 28 when the piezoelectric sensor detects a locked state and the piezoelectric sensor outputs a predetermined electric signal. It can be determined that it has been done.

  The HEMS 30 basically has a general computer configuration. Although illustration is omitted, a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, an input / output port and the like are provided and are connected to buses such as a system bus and a data bus. Further, the HEMS 30 includes a display input unit capable of displaying and inputting information. In the present embodiment, the destination and the designated arrival time of the car navigation system 48 included in the vehicle 46 can be set by the display input unit, and the information transmitted from the information center 60 is displayed on the display input unit.

When it is determined that the information transmitted from the car navigation system 48 indicates that the vehicle 46 departs from the building 100, the information center 60 transmits a command for confirming the state of the housing equipment to the HEMS 30. The information center 60 receives the confirmation result of the state of the housing equipment returned from the HEMS 30, and sends a confirmation result notification stating whether or not the housing equipment should be stopped or locked before departure to the car navigation system 48 of the vehicle 46.

  FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the operation of the housing equipment monitoring system 10 according to the present embodiment. Prior to departure, the display input section of the HEMS 30 turns on the "outing set" that controls the on / off of the housing equipment according to the items preset by the user when going out, and also turns on the start switch of the vehicle 46 in the garage 42. When the destination and the travel route information are further input, the HEMS 30 transmits the input destination and the travel route information (stroke) to the information center 60. The information center 60 may transmit a command of “state confirmation” of the housing equipment to the HEMS 30 when receiving the stroke from the HEMS 30. Alternatively, the process may be input from the car navigation system 48.

  The information center 60 sets the destination and the traveling route for the car navigation 48 according to the destination and the traveling route information transmitted from the HEMS 30, and starts navigation guidance.

  After that, when the shift lever of the vehicle 46 is changed to “P → D” and the operation for starting the traveling of the vehicle 46 is performed, the car navigation 48 transmits a command of “state confirmation” of the housing equipment to the information center 60. It When the information center 60 receives the “state confirmation” command from the car navigation 48, the information center 60 transmits the “state confirmation” command of the housing equipment to the HEMS 30. The HEMS 30 receives the “state confirmation” command from the information center 60, checks the operation status of the housing equipment of the building 100, and transmits the checked result to the information center 60 as the “state confirmation result”.

  The information center 60 determines whether or not the operating status of each of the housing equipment in the “status confirmation result” transmitted from the HEMS 30 is accurate according to the mode of going out, and the determination result is a “confirmation result notification” to the car navigation 48. Send to. Then, the car navigation system 48 displays the content of the “confirmation result notification” received from the information center 60 on the display unit. The mode of going out may be "close" or "remote" for the destination area, which will be described later, and further divided into the case of "daytime" and the case of "night".
