Best form for carrying out the invention

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(Example 1)

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an air-conditioning management device 1 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the air-conditioning management device 1 has an image storage unit 3 for storing a design image 2 of a floor and a pointer A for accessing the design image 2, a display 6 for displaying an image including operation status data 5, and a slave image storage unit. 3. An image display unit 8 that extracts a partial image 7 from the stored design image 2, adds the operation status data 5 to the partial image, and displays it on the display 6.

In addition, the air-conditioning management device 1 further includes an input unit 9 for accepting input of movement information for moving the display screen of the display 6 and input of control information for controlling the air-conditioning device 4 , and uses the movement information received by the input unit 9 to Extraction position moving unit 10 for moving the position of extracted partial image 7 from design image 2 in units of rooms and air conditioning control unit 11 for controlling air conditioner 4 based on control information received from input unit 9 .

As shown in FIG. 2 , the design image 2 is rectangular graphic data with a length of 640 dots and a width of 480 dots, and has 0 to 639 addresses in the direction of the horizontal axis and 0 to 479 addresses in the direction of the vertical axis. On the design image 2, one dividing line 12 extending in the horizontal direction and two dividing lines 13 and 14 extending in the vertical direction are provided. And the six blocks divided by these dividing lines 12-14 correspond to each room in a floor, respectively. The size of these blocks can be changed according to the size of each room, and it is also possible to make each block the same size as in this example. In addition, the names of rooms such as conference rooms 1 to 3, reception room, director's room, and manager's room are written in the upper part of each block.

Next, the operation of the air conditioning management device 1 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. 3 . The air-conditioning management device 1 is a device for collectively managing a plurality of air-conditioning devices 4 arranged in each room on a floor, and can display the operating status of these air-conditioning devices 4 on a display 6 . First, an initial value address (0, 0) is set to the pointer A for accessing the design image 2 (S100).

Next, a plurality of operating state data 5 transmitted from each air conditioner 4 is supplied to the image display unit 8 (S101). Furthermore, a partial image 7 which is a partial image of the design image 2 is extracted from the image storage unit 3 and supplied to the image display unit 8 (S102). Here, starting from the address (0, 0) indicated by the pointer A, an area of 0 to 213 points in the horizontal axis direction and 0 to 240 points in the vertical axis direction is extracted as the partial image 7 . The partial image 7 corresponds to one block of the design image 2 divided by the dividing lines 12 to 14 , and the size of the partial image 7 is equal to the display size of the display 6 . Therefore, an image of one room is displayed on the monitor 6 .

As shown in FIG. 4 , the motion status data 5 and the partial image 7 are input to the image display unit 8 through the processing of S101 and S102 . The image display unit 8 checks the operating status data 5 of the air conditioner 4 in the meeting room 1 corresponding to the partial image 7, and writes an icon corresponding to the operating status in the lower portion of the partial image 7 (S103). The operating status data 5 is data indicating the operating status of each air conditioner 4 in numbers, and "0" indicates that it is stopped, "1" indicates that it is operating, and "2" indicates that it is malfunctioning.

As shown in FIG. 5 , various types of icons are prepared for comparing these operating conditions, and an icon corresponding to the operating status data 5 is selected. The data written in the lower part of the partial image 7 may not be an icon, but may be character data such as "air conditioner is operating", "air conditioner is stopped", and "air conditioner is malfunctioning".

Then, the partial image 7 in which the icon is written is displayed on the monitor 6 (S104), and the operator can grasp the operation status of the air conditioner 4 installed in the conference room 1. That is, the operator can know that the air conditioner 4 of the meeting room 1 is stopped from the display of the monitor 6 shown in FIG. 4 .

Then, when the operator who saw the display on the display 6 inputs control information for starting the air conditioner 4 to the input unit 9 , the control information is supplied to the air conditioner control unit 11 . This control information is transmitted to the air conditioner 4, and the air conditioner 4 starts operating based on the control information. In addition, the operator may input control information for changing the set temperature of the air conditioner 4 into the input unit 9 . The control information is also transmitted to the air conditioner 4 through the air conditioner control unit 11, and the set temperature of the air conditioner 4 is changed according to the control information (S105).

Next, when the operator inputs movement information to the input unit 9 in order to display the operation status of the air conditioner 4 in another room on the display 6, the movement information is supplied to the extraction position movement unit 10. Then, in the extraction position moving means 10, the pointer A of the image storage means 3 is updated based on the moving information (S106). That is, the extraction position moving means 10 accesses the design image 2 stored in the image storage means 3, and scans the design image 2 from the current pointer position in the moving direction. Then, the position of the dividing line detected by the scanning becomes a new pointer position.

Specifically, when the movement information is an instruction to move the image to the right, the design image 2 shown in FIG. 2 is scanned to the right from the position of address (0, 0), and the dividing line is detected at point 213. 13. As a result, the address of the new pointer A becomes (213, 0). Then, the process returns to S101, and the operation status data 5 is supplied to the image display unit 8. As described above, since the air conditioner 4 of the conference room 1 has been activated, the operation status data 5 shown in FIG. 6 changes the operation status of the conference room 1 to "1".

Next, the process of S102 is executed, the partial image 7 is extracted from the image storage unit 3 , and the partial image 7 is supplied to the image display unit 8 . Here, the address of the pointer A is (213, 0), so an area of 213 to 426 points in the horizontal axis direction and 0 to 240 points in the vertical axis direction is extracted as the partial image 7 . Then, the processes of S103 and S104 are executed to write the icon into the partial image 7 and display it on the display 6 . Based on this display, the operator can know that the air conditioner 4 installed in the conference room 2 is currently operating. Then, the operator executes the processing of S105 and S106 by inputting control information or movement information, and controls the air conditioner 4 and the like.

As described above, by moving the extracted position of the partial image 7 in units of rooms, it is possible to move to an adjacent room with one operation regardless of the size of the room. In this way, the partial image 7 of the target air conditioner 4 can be moved easily with a small number of times, so that the operation status of the air conditioner 4 in each room can be grasped quickly without missing it. In addition, manufacturing cost can be reduced by using the display 6 with a small display screen.

The processing of S101 to S104 corresponds to an image display step of adding operation status data to the partial image 7 and displaying it on the display 6 . In addition, the processing of S106 corresponds to the extraction position moving step of moving the extraction position of the partial image 7 in units of rooms.

Next, an example in which an image composed of the entire desired room and a part of each room adjacent to the room is displayed on the display 6 will be described. In this example, a display 15 having a display size slightly larger than that of the display 6 is used, and other configurations are the same as those of the device in FIG. 1 . As shown in FIG. 7 , in the initial state, an image centered on the conference room 1 is displayed on the monitor 15 . This display image is an image composed of the entire conference room 1 and a part of the conference room 2 and the reception room. In this way, since a part of the meeting room 2 and the reception room are displayed on the display 15, the operator who sees the display can know that it is possible to move rightward and downward.

When the movement information to the right is input by the operator to the input unit 9, the position of the partial image 7 extracted from the design image 2 is moved to the right by 1 room, as shown in FIG. Chamber 2 is the centered image. This display image is an image composed of the entire conference room 2, the conference rooms 1, 3, and a part of the director's room. In this way, since the meeting rooms 1, 3 and a part of the director's room are displayed on the display 15, the operator who sees the display can know that the display on the display 15 can be moved rightward, leftward, and downward.

In addition, when the downward movement information is input into the input unit 9 by the operator, the position where the partial image 7 is extracted from the design image 2 is moved downward by one room, and as shown in FIG. The image of is displayed on the display 15. This display image is an image composed of the entire executive room and a part of the meeting room 2 , the reception room, and the manager's room. Thus, since part of the conference room 2, the reception room, and the manager's room are displayed on the display 15, the operator seeing the display can know that the display on the display 15 can be moved to the right, left, and upward.

As described above, by using the display 15 having a larger display size than the size of each block of the design image 2, the direction in which the display 15 can be moved can be grasped at a glance.

Next, the hardware configuration of the air conditioning management device 1 will be described. As shown in Figure 10, the air-conditioning management device 1 has a main substrate 23 on which a CPU 20 and ROMs 21, 22 are installed, an input/output port 24 for receiving operation status data of the air-conditioning device 4, a liquid crystal display 25 for displaying operation status data, etc. Touch screen 26 on liquid crystal display 25 .

Here, the ROM 21 corresponds to the image storage unit 3 and stores various data such as the design image 2 . In addition, processing programs of the image display unit 8 , the air-conditioning control unit 11 , and the extraction position moving unit 10 are stored in the ROM 22 . And, these processing programs are executed under the control of the CPU 20 . In addition, the liquid crystal display 25 corresponds to the display 6 , and the touch panel 26 corresponds to the input unit 9 .

In the liquid crystal display 25, an area 25a for displaying a partial image 7, an area 25b for displaying a movement switch for the operator to input movement information, an area 25c for displaying the temperature of each room, and an area 25c for displaying the control of each air conditioner 4 are provided. The information control switch area 25d. In the move switch, use the 4 arrow buttons corresponding to each direction. In addition, as the control switch, an UP/DOWN button for changing the set temperature of the air conditioner 4 and an ON/OFF button for controlling ON/OFF of the air conditioner 4 are used.

Furthermore, the operator inputs movement information or control information from the touch panel 26 by pressing the arrow buttons displayed on the area 25b or the UP/DOWN buttons displayed on the area 25d from above. These information are supplied to CPU20, and the process of S101-S106 mentioned above is performed.

In addition, instead of the touch panel 26, various switches such as a joystick, a push button switch, and a track ball may be used. Alternatively, the direction of movement can also be changed sequentially by pressing a single button switch multiple times.

(Example 2)

Next, the air conditioning management device of the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing an air-conditioning management device 30 according to the second embodiment. Embodiment 2 differs from Embodiment 1 shown in FIG. 1 in that it has a division line data storage unit 31 . Other structures are identical or equivalent to Embodiment 1. The same reference numerals are assigned to the same or equivalent components as those in the embodiments, and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 11 , the air-conditioning management device 30 has a dividing line data storage unit 31 that stores a plurality of dividing line data 32 that divides a floor into each room. The division line data 32 is line segment data for dividing the design image 2 into a plurality of squares, and is stored as coordinate data on the design image 2 . For example, the dividing line data 32a of the dividing line 12 shown in FIG. 2 is (0 to 639, 240), and the dividing line data 32b of the dividing line data 13 is (213, 0 to 479). Furthermore, the dividing line data 32c of the dividing line data 14 is (426, 0 to 479).

Next, the operation of the air conditioning management device 30 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. 12 . First, an initial value address (0, 0) is set to the pointer A for accessing the image storage unit 3 (S110). Then, a plurality of operating state data 5 transmitted from each air conditioner 4 is supplied to the image display unit 8 (S111). In addition, the partial image 7 which is a part of the design image 2 is extracted from the image storage unit 3 and supplied to the image display unit 8 (S112).

As a result, the action status data 5 and the partial image 7 are input to the image display unit 8 as shown in FIG. 4 . The image display unit 8 checks the operating status data 5 of the air conditioner 4 in the meeting room 1 corresponding to the partial image 7, and writes an icon corresponding to the operating status in the lower portion of the partial image 7 (S113). The operating status data 5 is data indicating the operating status of each air conditioner 4 in numbers, and "0" indicates that it is stopped, "1" indicates that it is operating, and "2" indicates that it is malfunctioning. Then, as shown in FIG. 5 , an icon corresponding to the operating state data 5 is selected from three types of icons prepared for comparing these operating states.

Then, the partial image 7 in which the icon is written is displayed on the display 6 (S114), and the operator can grasp the operation status of the air conditioner 4 installed in the meeting room 1. That is, the operator can know that the air conditioner 4 of the meeting room 1 is stopped from the display of the monitor 6 shown in FIG. 4 . Then, when the operator who sees the display on the display 6 inputs control information for starting the air conditioner 4 to the input unit 9 , the control information is supplied to the air conditioner control unit 11 . This control information is transmitted to the air conditioner 4, and the air conditioner 4 starts operating based on the control information. In addition, the operator may input control information for changing the set temperature of the air conditioner 4 into the input unit 9 . This control information is also transmitted to the air conditioner 4 through the air conditioner control unit 11, and the set temperature of the air conditioner 4 is changed according to the control information. (S115).

Next, when the operator inputs movement information to the input unit 9 in order to display the operation status of the air conditioner 4 in another room on the display 6, the movement information is supplied to the extraction position movement unit 10. The extraction position moving unit 10 detects the moving direction based on the movement information, and extracts the dividing line data 32 with the shortest distance in the moving direction from the current pointer position from the dividing line data storage unit 31 (S116). Then, the intersection point of the line segment traveling in the moving direction from the current pointer position and the dividing line indicated by the dividing line data 32 is set as a new pointer position (S117).

Specifically, when the movement information is an instruction to move the display screen of the display 6 to the right, assuming that the address of the current pointer A is (0, 0) in FIG. Among the dividing line data 32a to 32c, the dividing line data 32 having the shortest distance to the right with respect to the pointer A (0, 0) is selected. Then, the division line data 32b (213, 0 to 479) is extracted by this selection. Also, the intersection point (213, 0) of the line segment 15 traveling rightward from the pointer A (0, 0) and the dividing line 13 shown in the dividing line data 32b is detected, and this intersection point is set as a new pointer position. As a result, the address of the new pointer A becomes (213, 0). Then, the process returns to S101, and the operation status data 5 is supplied to the image display unit 8.

Next, the process of S102 is executed, the partial image 7 is extracted from the image storage unit 3 , and the partial image 7 is supplied to the image display unit 8 . Since the address of the pointer A at this time is (213, 0), an area of 213 to 426 points in the horizontal axis direction and 0 to 240 points in the vertical axis direction is extracted as the partial image 7 . Then, the processes of S103 and S104 are executed to write the icon into the partial image 7 and display it on the display 6 . Based on this display, the operator can know that the air conditioner installed in the meeting room 2 is currently operating. Then, the operator executes the processing of S105 and S106 by inputting control information or movement information, and controls the air conditioner 4 and the like.

As described above, by moving the extraction position of the partial image 7 on a room-by-room basis, the desired partial image 7 can be easily moved to the desired partial image 7 with a small number of operations, so that the air conditioner 4 of the dry room can be quickly grasped without missing it. action status. In addition, since the address of the new pointer A is extracted based on the dividing line data 32 provided separately from the design image 2, the processing speed of address update can be increased.

The processing from S111 to S114 corresponds to an image display step in which the operation status data 5 is added to the partial image 7 and displayed on the display 6 . In addition, the processing of S116 and S117 corresponds to the extraction position moving step of moving the partial image 7 in units of rooms.

In addition, instead of the display 6, the display 15 having a display size one size larger may be used. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, an image including the entire desired room and a part of each room adjacent to the room is displayed on the display 15, so that the direction in which the screen can be moved can be easily grasped.

(Example 3)

Next, the air-conditioning management device of Embodiment 3 will be described. FIG. 13 is a block diagram showing an air-conditioning management device 40 according to the third embodiment. Embodiment 3 differs from Embodiment 1 shown in FIG. 1 only in that it has a moving direction calculation unit 41 . Other structures are identical or equivalent to Embodiment 1. The same reference numerals are assigned to the same or equivalent components as those in Embodiment 1, and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 13 , the air-conditioning management device 40 has a movement direction calculation unit 41 that inputs the address of the pointer A stored in the image storage unit 3 and calculates the direction in which the position of the partial image 7 extracted from the design image 2 can move. Then, the result calculated by the moving direction calculation unit 41 is supplied to the input unit 9, and the input unit 9 performs control to disable the input of movement information in a non-movable direction. In addition, when the movable direction is displayed on the display 6, such as an arrow, the calculation result of the moving direction calculation unit 41 is also supplied to the display 6, and the display content of the display 6 is changed.

For example, when a liquid crystal display 25 is used as the display 6 and a touch panel 26 is used as the input unit 9 as shown in FIG. Here, when the partial image 7 displayed on the area 25a of the liquid crystal display 25 is the image of the meeting room 1 located at the upper left end of the design image 2, an address (0, 0) is set to the pointer A.

The moving direction calculation unit 41 calculates the addresses of vertices of the partial image 7 based on the address of the pointer A to obtain (0,0), (213,0), (0,240), (213,240). In addition, the design image 2 has an area with a length of 640 dots and a width of 480 dots, and the partial image 7 is movable within the range of (0, 0) to (639, 479).

The moving direction calculation unit 41 can determine that the position of the partial image 7 extracted from the design image 2 cannot move leftward and upward by making the vertex (0, 0) of the partial image 7 correspond to the upper left end of the design image 2 . In addition, the moving direction calculation unit 41 can determine that the position of the partial image 7 extracted from the design image 2 can be moved rightward and downward by making the vertices (213, 240) of the partial image 7 correspond to the central part of the design image 2 .

In the moving direction calculating means 41, the movable direction thus obtained is supplied to the liquid crystal display 25 and the touch panel 26, and the display of the right and upper arrow buttons in the area 25b of the liquid crystal display 25 is erased. In addition, input of the positions of the arrow buttons to the right and upward on the touch panel 26 is invalidated.

Next, when the operator inputs movement information to the right, as shown in FIG. At this time, it is assumed that the address (213, 0) is set for the pointer A. The address of the pointer A is supplied to the moving direction calculating unit 41, and the moving direction calculating unit 41 performs comparison calculation of the above-mentioned addresses to calculate the direction in which the pointer can move.

That is, the moving direction calculation unit 41 calculates the addresses of vertices of the partial image 7 based on the address of the pointer A to obtain (213,0), (426,0), (213,240), (426,240). The moving direction calculation unit 41 can determine that the position of the partial image 7 extracted from the design image 2 cannot be moved upward by making the vertices (213, 0) and (426, 0) of the partial image 7 correspond to the upper end of the design image 2 . In addition, the movement direction calculation unit 41 can determine that the position of the partial image 7 extracted from the design image 2 can be moved to by making the vertices (213, 240) and (426, 240) of the partial image 7 correspond to the central part of the design image 2. Move right, left and down.

The movable direction obtained in this way is supplied to the liquid crystal display 25 and the touch panel 26 in the movement direction calculation means 41, and the display of the arrow buttons at the top of the area 25b of the liquid crystal display 25 is erased. In addition, the input of the position of the upward arrow button on the touch panel 26 is invalidated.

As described above, since the display of the arrow button in the direction in which the position of the partial image 7 extracted from the design image 2 cannot be moved is eliminated, the operator can visually determine the direction in which the movement can be made, thereby making it less likely to cause erroneous operations. The air conditioning management device 40 with high reliability.

When a push button switch or the like is used instead of the touch panel 26, an image indicating a movable direction may be displayed on a display such as a liquid crystal display 25 or the like. For example, the above-mentioned arrow-shaped mark may be used, or a frame line may be displayed on the movable side edge of the display (in particular, color display such as red and green is more effective).

(Example 4)

Next, the air-conditioning management device of Embodiment 4 will be described. FIG. 16 is a block diagram showing an air-conditioning management device 50 according to the fourth embodiment. Embodiment 4 differs from Embodiment 1 shown in FIG. 1 in that the image storage unit 3 stores design images 2 of multiple floors and has an initial position registration unit 51 and an initial position storage unit 52 and is accepted by the input unit 9. Floor selection input.

In this way, since the design images 2 of a plurality of floors are stored in the image storage unit 3, one air-conditioning management device 50 can collectively manage the air-conditioning devices 4 installed on multiple floors like a building. In addition, by receiving a floor selection input through the input unit 9 , the design image 2 of a desired floor can be displayed on the display 6 .

The structures other than the above-mentioned structures are the same or equivalent to those of the first embodiment, and therefore, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same or equivalent components as those of the first embodiment, and description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 6 , the air-conditioning management device 50 has an initial position registration unit 51 for registering the initial position when the partial image 7 is extracted from the design image 2, and an initial position registration unit 51 for storing the address of the initial position registered by the initial position registration unit 51 for each floor. location storage unit 52 . As the initial position data that can be registered in the initial position registration unit 51, there are “north/northeast/northwest/east/west/central/southeast/southwest/south/previous initial position” etc., in the initial position registration unit 51 In, there is an input unit (for example, a push button switch) for inputting these data. Also, in the initial position storage means 52, an address data area 52a storing the address of the initial position and a previous position flag 52b indicating the registration of the "previous initial position" are provided for each floor.

When the initial position data is input by the operator, the initial position registration unit 51 converts the input data into address data, and stores the address data in the address data area 52 a of the initial position storage unit 52 . The address data is the address data of the design image 2. For example, "north", "northeast", "northwest", and "south" are respectively converted into address (213, 0), address (426, 0), address (0, 0 ), address (213, 240). And, the address data converted in this way is stored in the address data area 52 a of the initial position storage unit 52 .

In addition, when the operator inputs "the previous initial position", the initial position registration unit 51 creates the previous position flag 52b of the initial position storage unit 52 . While the previous position flag 52b is being established, address data input from the extraction position shifting unit 10 is received, and the address data area 52a of the initial position storage unit 52 is updated with the address data. As a result, the address of the previous initial position is always stored in the address data area 52 a of the initial position storage unit 52 .

As shown in FIG. 17 , for example, when the air-conditioning management device 50 manages a building with 10 floors above ground and 2 floors underground, 12 design images 2 are stored in the image storage unit 3 . In addition, selection of the design image 2 displayed on the display 6 is performed by specifying the number of floors by the input unit 9 . When the desired design image 2 is selected by specifying, the address data corresponding to the design image 2 is read out from the address data area 52a of the initial position storage unit 52, and the address data is set as a pointer of the image storage unit 3. a.

Next, the image storage unit 3 is accessed, and the partial image 7 starting from the pointer A is extracted from the desired design image 2 . Here, if the address of the room where the air conditioner 4 with high operating frequency is installed is pre-registered in the initial position storage unit 52 as the initial position, then when the design image 2 is switched, the room with the frequently installed air conditioner 4 can be set. A partial image 7 centered on the room of the air conditioner 4 is displayed on the display 6 . In addition, if the previous position flag 52b of the initial position storage unit 52 is established in advance, when the design image 2 is switched, the previously displayed partial image 7 can be displayed on the display 6 .

Specifically, when "northwest" is input for the design image 2 of the first basement floor, the address (0, 0) is stored in the address data area 52a corresponding to the design image 2. Also, when "Southeast" is input to the design image 2 of the second basement floor, the address (426, 240) is stored in the address data area 52a corresponding to the design image 2. Then, when the design image 2 of the first basement floor is selected, the address (0, 0) is read from the address data area 52a, and this address is set as the pointer A of the image storage unit 3. As a result, as shown in FIG. 18, a partial image 7 of "thing 1" starting from the address (0, 0) is extracted from the design image 2 of the first basement floor.

Next, when the design image 2 of the second underground floor is selected, the address (426, 240) is read from the address data area 52a, and this address is set as the pointer A of the image storage unit 3. As a result, as shown in FIG. 19, a partial image 7 of "manager's room" starting from the address (426, 240) is extracted from the design image 2 of the second basement floor.

As described above, when switching the design image 2, since the partial image 7 initially displayed on the display 6 can be registered according to the operator's intention, the partial image 7 of the room in which the air conditioner 4 with high operation frequency is installed Initially displayed on monitor 6. As a result, the operability of the apparatus can be improved, so that the air-conditioning apparatuses 4 on a plurality of floors can be operated in a short time.
