Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same members are given the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.
< first embodiment >
< overall configuration of network System 1 >
First, the overall configuration of the network system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 1. The network system 1 of the present embodiment mainly includes a first server 100A, a second server 100B, air conditioners 200, and communication terminals 300A, 300B.
The first server 100A is utilized in various facilities. The first server 100A is preferably prepared in each of a plurality of facilities. The first servers 100A may be installed inside the facility or may be disposed outside the facility. The first server 100A is connected to an electric bed (recining bed) disposed in each room in the facility, an intercom, a thermometer in the room, various sensors for acquiring biological information of a patient, a guest, etc. located in the room, a lamp, a shower, a toilet facility, a floor heating, etc. In the present embodiment, the first server 100A used in a care facility of an elderly person will be described.
The second server 100B is configured by, for example, a plurality of databases, an arithmetic device, a communication device, and the like on the cloud. The second server 100B is connected to the air conditioner 200, the air cleaner, the television, and the like via various networks such as the internet and the carrier network. In the present embodiment, the second server 100B is connected to the first server 100A.
In the present embodiment, the air conditioner 200 is controlled or the warning is output by the first server 100A of the facility and the second server 100B on the cloud side, but both functions may be realized by one server or 3 or more devices.
The communication terminals 300A and 300B can be connected to the first server 100A, and are implemented by a personal computer, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a game machine, a speaker, a wearable terminal, or the like.
< summary of operation of network System 1 >
Next, an outline of the operation of the network system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 1. In the network system 1 of the present embodiment, first, the first server 100A periodically acquires various information from various devices in facilities such as a bed and a sensor. The second server 100B acquires various information from the electrical equipment such as the air conditioner 200 via the internet or the like.
As shown in fig. 2, the first server 100A acquires various information of various devices in a facility such as a bed or a sensor and displays the information on the communication terminal 300. The first server 100A acquires various information of the electric devices such as the air conditioner 200 from the second server 100B, and displays the information of the air conditioner 200 and the like on the communication terminal 300 as shown in fig. 2. Further, the first server 100A preferably displays a screen combining information of the bed, the sensor, the air conditioner 200, and the like, and information of the facility entrants, and the like, on the communication terminal 300. Thus, the communication terminal 300 can simultaneously present information that can be directly acquired by the first server 100A of the facility and information of the electrical device such as the air conditioner 200 that cannot be directly acquired by the first server 100A.
In particular, in the network system 1 according to the present embodiment, when an operation command inappropriate for the season is input to the air conditioner 200 by a remote control operation, a body operation, a voice input operation, or the like by a care recipient, an elderly person, or the like in a facility, a warning is output to the communication terminals 300A and 300B such as a care recipient in charge of the care recipient, a manager of the facility, or the like, or an operation command input to a remote controller is rejected, or an operation appropriate for the season is automatically executed. For example, on hot days in summer, when the caregiver inputs a heating operation command to the air conditioner 200 through a remote control operation, a body operation, a voice input operation, or the like, the second server 100B outputs a warning to the caregiver, the manager, or the like directly or through the first server 100A, or ignores the heating operation. Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the network system 1 for realizing such a function will be described in detail.
< construction of first Server 100A >
First, one embodiment of the configuration of the first server 100A constituting the network system 1 of the present embodiment will be described. Referring to fig. 3, the first server 100A includes as main components: a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 110, a memory 120, an operation section 140, and a communication interface 160.
The CPU110 controls each section of the first server 100A by executing a program stored in the memory 120. For example, the CPU110 executes various processes described later by executing programs stored in the memory 120 and referring to various data.
The Memory 120 is implemented by various rams (random Access memories), various ROMs (Read-Only memories), and the like, and the Memory 120 may be included in the first server 100A, or may be detachable to various interfaces of the first server 100A, or may be a storage medium of another device accessible from the first server 100A. The memory 120 stores a program executed by the CPU110, data generated by the execution of the program by the CPU110, input data, a database for a service according to other embodiments, and the like.
For example, the memory 120 stores facility information data as shown in fig. 4. The facility information data stores facility IDs, sensor information, subject information, attendee information, personal information, information of the own company system of the facility, information of other sensors, information of other systems, and the like.
The facility ID is identification information for identifying a facility/operator, and is used when accessing the second server 100B.
The sensor information is data stored as a history, and is information of various sensors acquired from the second server 100B at regular intervals or at arbitrary timing.
The main information is data stored as a history, and is information of the operation state and the operation content of the air conditioner 200 periodically acquired from the second server 100B.
The individual information of the entrant is information for displaying on the screen of the communication terminal 300. And, the information is not provided to the second server 100B.
The information of the own-company system includes information for operating the own-company call system managed by the first server 100A.
The information of the other sensors includes read information of various sensors manufactured by other companies managed by the first server 100A. For example, information about the bed, information of the motion of the person, information of the door switch, information of the lighting, information of the illuminance, and the like are included.
The information of the other systems includes information acquired from systems of other companies connected to the first server 100A via the internet. For example, weather information, information of a location, information of a time period, information of an outside air temperature, and the like are included.
Returning to fig. 3, the operation unit 140 receives a command from a service manager or the like, and inputs the command to the CPU 110.
The communication interface 160 transmits data from the CPU110 to other devices such as air conditioners (200 ), a communication terminal 300, and a server via the internet, a carrier network, a router, and the like. In contrast, the communication interface 160 receives data from other devices via the internet, a carrier network, a router, or the like, and transmits the data to the CPU 110.
< construction of second Server 100B >
Next, an embodiment of the configuration of the second server 100B constituting the network system 1 of the present embodiment will be described. However, the basic configuration of the second server 100B is the same as that of the first server 100A shown in fig. 3, and therefore, the description thereof will not be repeated here. The following describes a database and information processing different from the first server 100A.
The memory 120 of the second server 100B stores the device information data shown in fig. 5. The device information data stores a list of facility IDs, the correspondence between facility IDs and device IDs, sensor information, subject information, and the like.
Also, the list of facility IDs contains a list of information for identifying facilities that are users of the first server 100A when the first server 100A accesses.
The correspondence between the facility ID and the device ID is used for identifying the relationship between the facilities
Information of the connected air conditioner 200. The second server 100B specifies the air conditioner 200 for each facility object based on the correspondence relationship.
The sensor information temporarily stores, as cache data, measurement values of the sensors acquired from the plurality of air conditioners 200 periodically or in response to an instruction from the system of the first server 100A. More specifically, the sensor information is information that is provided to the first server 100A periodically or at an arbitrary timing based on the sensor value of the air conditioner 200 acquired periodically or at an arbitrary timing by the second server 100B.
The main body information temporarily stores, as cache data, the operation states, operation commands, and the like acquired from the plurality of air conditioners 200 periodically or in accordance with an instruction from the system of the first server 100A.
< information processing of second Server 100B >
Next, information processing in the second server 100B will be explained with reference to fig. 6. The CPU110 of the second server 100B of the present embodiment executes the following processing in accordance with the program of the memory 120.
First, the CPU110 receives information indicating that an operation command is received via a remote controller, a main body operation unit, a voice input operation, or the like, from the air conditioner 200 via the communication interface 160 (step S102).
The CPU110 determines whether a heating command is received (step S104).
When the heating command is received (yes in step S104), the CPU110 determines whether the season is summer (step S106). For example, the CPU110 determines that the season is summer when the current date is between 7 months 1 day and 8 months 31 days.
When the season is not summer (no in step S106), CPU110 permits the heating operation to air-conditioner 200 via communication interface 160 (step S108).
If the season is summer (yes in step S106), the CPU110 transmits a warning to the manager of the facility via the communication interface 160 (step S110). In this case, the CPU110 may transmit the warning information to the communication terminals 300A and 300B of the managers of the facilities via the first server 100A via the communication interface 160, or may directly transmit the warning information to the communication terminals 300A and 300B of the managers of the facilities without via the first server 100A. Thus, the communication terminal 300 of the manager outputs a warning indicating that an operation command inappropriate for the season is input to the air conditioner 200. Further, the CPU110 may output a warning to the air conditioner 200 via the communication interface 160.
Then, the CPU110 prohibits the air conditioner 200 from performing the heating operation via the communication interface 160 (step S112).
If the heating command is not received (no in step S104), the CPU110 determines whether or not the cooling command is received (step S124).
When the cooling command is received (yes in step S124), the CPU110 determines whether the season is winter season (step S126). For example, when the current date is between 12 months 16 days and 2 months 15 days, the CPU110 determines that the season is winter. If no in step S124, other processing is performed (step S150).
If the season is not winter (no in step S126), the CPU110 permits the air conditioner 200 to perform the cooling operation via the communication interface 160 (step S128).
In the case where the season is winter (in the case of yes in step S126), the CPU110 transmits a warning to the manager of the facility via the communication interface 160 (step S130). Thus, the communication terminal 300 of the manager outputs a warning indicating that an operation command inappropriate for the season is input to the air conditioner 200. Further, the CPU110 may output a warning to the air conditioner 200 via the communication interface 160.
Then, the CPU110 prohibits the air conditioner 200 from performing the cooling operation via the communication interface 160 (step S132).
< construction of air conditioner 200 >
An embodiment of the configuration of the air conditioner 200 disposed in a facility will be described below with reference to fig. 7.
The air conditioner 200 of the present embodiment includes, as main components, a CPU210, a memory 220, a display 230, an operation unit 240, a communication interface 260, a speaker 270, a microphone 275, an infrared light receiving unit 280, and a device driving unit 290.
The CPU210 controls each unit of the air conditioner 200 by executing a program stored in the memory 220 or an external storage medium.
The memory 220 is implemented by various RAMs, various ROMs, and the like, and stores information necessary for utilizing various services, such as a program executed by the CPU210, data generated by the CPU210 executing the program, data input via the operation unit 240, data received from a remote controller, data received from the first server 100A and the second server 100B via a router and the internet, and an address of a management server corresponding to the air conditioner 200.
The display 230 outputs text, images, and the like based on a signal from the CPU 210. The display 230 may be an LED lamp or the like.
The operation unit 240 is implemented by a button, a touch panel, or the like, receives a command from a user, and inputs the command to the CPU 210. The display 230 and the operation unit 240 may constitute a touch panel 250.
The communication interface 260 is realized by an antenna for wireless communication, a connector for wired communication, or the like. The CPU210 exchanges various data with the first server 100, the second server 100B, the other air conditioners 200, and the communication terminal 300 via a router, the internet, or the like by using the communication interface 260. For example, the CPU210 provides the action content and the environment information to the first server 100A and the second server 100B via the communication interface 260, or receives an operation command from the first server 100A and the second server 100B.
The speaker 270 outputs a voice message or the like based on voice data from the CPU 210. The microphone 275 inputs the acquired voice data to the CPU 210.
The infrared light receiving unit 280 receives a command from the remote controller 285 in the same room as the air conditioner 200, and inputs the command to the CPU 210.
The device driving unit 290 controls each unit of the air conditioner 200, for example, a motor of a compressor, a switching valve, a fan, an ion generating unit, and the like, based on a signal from the CPU 210.
< construction of communication terminal 300 >
Next, an embodiment of the configuration of the communication terminal 300 constituting the network system 1 will be described with reference to fig. 8. The communication terminal 300 according to the present embodiment includes, as main components: CPU310, storage 320, display 330, operation section 340, communication interface 360, speaker 370, microphone 380, and the like.
CPU310 controls each unit of communication terminal 300 by executing a program stored in memory 320.
The memory 320 is implemented by various RAMs or various ROMs and the like. The memory 320 stores application programs for various services, data generated by the CPU310 executing the programs, data received from the first server 100A and the second server 100B, data input via the operation section 340, information for specifying the user of the communication terminal 300, and the like.
Display 330 displays images or text based on data from CPU 310. The operation unit 340 is configured by a pointing device, a switch, and the like, and inputs various commands from a user to the CPU 310. Communication terminal 300 may also include touch panel 350 including display 330 and operation unit 340.
The communication interface 360 transmits and receives data to and from other devices such as the first server 100A, the second server 100B, and the air conditioner 200 via the internet, a carrier network, a router, and the like. For example, the CPU310 exchanges various information related to the user with the first server 100A and the second server 100B via the communication interface 360 in accordance with the program. The CPU310 can receive various services by providing the various information to other application programs.
The speaker 370 outputs a voice message or the like based on voice data from the CPU 310. The microphone 380 acquires a voice of the user or the like, and inputs voice data to the CPU 310.
In the present embodiment, the CPU310 exchanges data with the first server 100A and the second server 100B via the communication interface 360 based on instructions from a facility manager and a caregiver in accordance with a program stored in the memory 320. For example, the CPU310 acquires operation information, warning information, and the like related to the air conditioner 200 from the second server 100B via the first server 100A by using the communication interface 360, and displays a viewing screen, an operation screen, a warning screen, and the like of fig. 2 on the display 330, or outputs a warning sound from the speaker 370.
< second embodiment >
In addition to the above-described embodiment, as shown in fig. 9, the CPU110 of the second server 100B not only prohibits the air conditioner 200 from performing the heating operation via the communication interface 160 (step S112), but also causes the air conditioner 200 to start the cooling operation (step S214). This is because there is a possibility that a care-receiver, an elderly person, or the like erroneously inputs a command for starting the heating operation in order to start the cooling operation.
Further, the CPU110 not only prohibits the air conditioner 200 from performing the cooling operation via the communication interface 160 (step S132), but also causes the air conditioner 200 to start the heating operation (step S234). This is because there is a possibility that a care-receiver, elderly person, or the like erroneously inputs a command to start the cooling operation in order to start the heating operation.
< third embodiment >
As shown in fig. 10, when receiving the heating command (yes in step S104), the CPU110 of the second server 100B may determine whether or not the indoor temperature or the outside air temperature is higher than a first predetermined temperature, for example, higher than 28 ℃ (step S306).
If the temperature is lower than the first predetermined temperature (no in step S306), the CPU110 permits the air conditioner 200 to perform the heating operation via the communication interface 160 (step S108).
If the temperature is higher than the first predetermined temperature (yes in step S306), the CPU110 transmits a warning to the manager of the facility via the communication interface 160 (step S110).
On the other hand, when receiving the cooling command (yes in step S124), the CPU110 determines whether or not the indoor temperature or the outdoor air temperature is lower than a second predetermined temperature, for example, 18 ℃ (step S326). If no in step S124, other processing is performed (step S150).
If the temperature is higher than the second predetermined temperature (no in step S326), the CPU110 permits the air conditioner 200 to perform the cooling operation via the communication interface 160 (step S128).
If the temperature is lower than the second predetermined temperature (yes in step S326), CPU110 transmits a warning to the manager of the facility via communication interface 160 (step S130).
< fourth embodiment >
In the above embodiment, the manager corresponds to each facility. That is, when the manager logs in to the service via the communication terminal 300, information and warning of all the air conditioners 200 of the facility are output from the communication terminal 300.
However, a caregiver or a manager may be set for each room. For example, it is preferable to prepare the data 121 of the correspondence relationship between the care recipient and the room shown in fig. 11, the data 122 of the correspondence relationship between the device and the room shown in fig. 12, and the data 123 of the correspondence relationship between the room and the manager shown in fig. 13.
Then, referring to fig. 14, CPU110 of first server 100A or CPU110 of second server 100B specifies a room with reference to correspondence data 122, specifies a manager with reference to correspondence data 123 (steps S410, S430), and transmits a warning to the manager via communication interface 160 (steps S411, 431). Thus, the communication terminal 300 of the manager in charge of the room in which the air conditioner 200 is disposed can output a warning indicating that an inappropriate operation command has been input to the air conditioner 200 in the room.
< fifth embodiment >
Further, the first predetermined temperature and the second predetermined temperature may be set for each room. For example, as shown in fig. 15, it is preferable to prepare correspondence data 124 of a room, a first predetermined temperature, and a second predetermined temperature. Further, it is preferable that the manager of the room manager can set the first predetermined temperature and the second predetermined temperature.
Thus, as shown in fig. 16, when the heating command is received (yes in step S104), the CPU110 of the second server 100B specifies the room of the air conditioner 200, determines the first predetermined temperature (step S505), and then executes step S306.
When the cooling command is received (yes at step S124), the CPU110 specifies the room of the air conditioner 200, determines the second predetermined temperature (step S525), and then executes step S326. If no in step S124, other processing is performed (step S150).
< sixth embodiment >
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 17, when receiving the heating command (yes in step S104), the CPU110 of the second server 100B extracts the air conditioners 200 in a plurality of rooms near the room in which the air conditioners 200 are installed, and determines whether or not most of the plurality of air conditioners 200 perform the cooling operation (step S606). In the present embodiment, the address of the facility in which the air conditioner 200 is installed and the position of the room in which the air conditioner 200 is installed are registered in a database, and the second server 100B can refer to the database.
When the percentage of the air conditioners 200 that perform the cooling operation among the plurality of air conditioners 200 in the vicinity is less than 50% (no in step S606), the CPU110 permits the heating operation to the air conditioners 200 via the communication interface 160 (step S108).
When the ratio of the air conditioners 200 performing the cooling operation among the plurality of air conditioners 200 in the vicinity is 50% or more (yes in step S606), the CPU110 transmits a warning to the facility manager via the communication interface 160 (step S110).
When receiving the cooling command (yes in step S124), the CPU110 determines whether or not most of the air conditioners 200 in the plurality of rooms near the room of the air conditioner 200 are performing the heating operation (step S626). If no in step S124, other processing is performed (step S150).
When the percentage of the air conditioners 200 that perform the heating operation among the plurality of air conditioners 200 in the vicinity is less than 50% (no in step S626), the CPU110 permits the air conditioners 200 to perform the cooling operation via the communication interface 160 (step S128).
When the percentage of the plurality of air conditioners 200 in the vicinity that perform the heating operation is 50% or more (yes in step S326), the CPU110 transmits a warning to the facility manager via the communication interface 160 (step S130).
