以下、本発明の実施の形態について、図面を参照しながら説明する。なお、この実施の形態によって本発明が限定されるものではない。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

（実施の形態１）
図１は、本発明の第１の実施の形態における空気調和機および空気調和機用コントローラの設置例を示す図である。図２は、同空気調和機および空気調和機用コントローラの防犯機能の構成例を示す図である。 (Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an installation example of an air conditioner and an air conditioner controller according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a crime prevention function of the air conditioner and the controller for the air conditioner.

部屋１の壁には、空気調和機本体である室内機２が設置されており、室内機２には、ブザー等の警告音を発生する警告音発生手段３と、人の在不在を検出する人体検出手段４を
設けている。人体検出手段４は、例えば、温度が高い人体等の動きによって反応する焦電素子と赤外線を検出する視野範囲を広げるフレネルレンズで構成された人感センサや、多数の焦電素子を配列することで部屋１内の熱画像を検出する赤外線画像センサを用いて、部屋１内における人の在不在を検知するようになっている。 An indoor unit 2 which is an air conditioner body is installed on the wall of the room 1, and the indoor unit 2 detects warning sound generating means 3 for generating a warning sound such as a buzzer and the presence / absence of a person. Human body detection means 4 is provided. The human body detection means 4 is, for example, a human sensor composed of a pyroelectric element that reacts with movement of a human body or the like having a high temperature and a Fresnel lens that expands a visual field range for detecting infrared rays, or a number of pyroelectric elements. Thus, the presence or absence of a person in the room 1 is detected using an infrared image sensor that detects a thermal image in the room 1.

また、５は、空気調和機を遠隔操作するコントローラであり、基本的な空調の各種操作を行う操作部（図示せず）や各種情報を表示する表示部（図示せず）と、防犯モードの設定／解除を選択する防犯モード選択手段６と、警告発生制御手段１３と、信号出力手段としての照明機器制御信号出力手段１５と音響機器制御信号出力手段１６を設けている。  Reference numeral 5 denotes a controller for remotely operating the air conditioner, an operation unit (not shown) for performing various basic air conditioning operations, a display unit (not shown) for displaying various information, and a security mode. There are provided a crime prevention mode selection means 6 for selecting setting / cancellation, a warning generation control means 13, a lighting equipment control signal output means 15 and a sound equipment control signal output means 16 as signal output means.

また、コントローラ５には、室内機２との赤外線信号の送受信を行うコントローラ送受信部７を、室内機２には、コントローラ５との赤外線信号の送受信を行う本体送受信部８を設け、コントローラ５と室内機２が双方向で情報をやり取りできるようになっている。なお、コントローラ５と室内機２との通信方式は赤外線信号に限らず、各種無線や有線等特に限定するものではない。  Further, the controller 5 is provided with a controller transmission / reception unit 7 for transmitting / receiving infrared signals to / from the indoor unit 2, and the indoor unit 2 is provided with a main body transmission / reception unit 8 for transmitting / receiving infrared signals to / from the controller 5. The indoor unit 2 can exchange information bidirectionally. Note that the communication method between the controller 5 and the indoor unit 2 is not limited to infrared signals, and is not particularly limited to various types of wireless or wired communication.

また、同一室内の部屋１には、既存の照明機器９と音響機器１０が設置されている。なお、音響機器１０は、スピーカー等（図示せず）から音響を発生する機器であり、音響のみを発生するオーディオ機器だけでなく、テレビ等の映像と音響の両方を兼ね備えた機器でもよい。また、照明機器９と音響機器１０には、それぞれの機器専用のコントローラ（図示せず）からの操作信号だけではなく、コントローラ５からの操作信号も受信する照明機器制御信号受信部１１、音響機器制御信号受信部１２を設けている。  Also, in the room 1 in the same room, an existing lighting device 9 and an acoustic device 10 are installed. Note that the audio device 10 is a device that generates sound from a speaker or the like (not shown), and may be not only an audio device that generates only sound, but also a device that combines both video and sound, such as a television. The lighting device 9 and the acoustic device 10 include a lighting device control signal receiving unit 11 that receives not only an operation signal from a controller (not shown) dedicated to each device, but also an operation signal from the controller 5. A control signal receiving unit 12 is provided.

上記構成による空気調和機の室内機２およびそのコントローラ５において、防犯機能の基本動作について説明する。   The basic operation of the crime prevention function in the indoor unit 2 and the controller 5 of the air conditioner configured as described above will be described.

まず、居住者は、防犯機能を動作させたい時は、コンローラ５の防犯モード選択手段６で防犯モードを「解除」から「設定」に選択を変更する。防犯モードの設定を選択してから居住者が部屋１からいなくなるまでに要する所定時間後、防犯モードの動作が開始する。防犯モード作動時において、人体検出手段４が侵入者を検知すると、警告発生制御手段１３の指示に基づき、室内機２の本体送受信部８から、侵入者検出信号がコントローラ５に送信され、コントローラ５のコントローラ送受信部７で侵入者検出信号を受信すると、室内機２の本体送受信部８へ、警告音発生手段３から警告音を発生させる操作信号を出力する。同時に、照明機器９の照明機器制御信号受信部１１へ、照明機器制御信号出力手段１５より、照明機器９を点灯させる操作信号を出力する。  First, when the resident wants to operate the crime prevention function, the crime prevention mode selection means 6 of the controller 5 changes the selection of the crime prevention mode from “cancel” to “setting”. The operation of the crime prevention mode starts after a predetermined time required for the resident to leave the room 1 after selecting the setting of the crime prevention mode. When the human body detection means 4 detects an intruder when the crime prevention mode is activated, an intruder detection signal is transmitted from the main body transmitting / receiving unit 8 of the indoor unit 2 to the controller 5 based on an instruction from the warning generation control means 13. When the intruder detection signal is received by the controller transmission / reception unit 7, an operation signal for generating a warning sound is output from the warning sound generation means 3 to the main body transmission / reception unit 8 of the indoor unit 2. At the same time, an operation signal for lighting the lighting device 9 is output from the lighting device control signal output means 15 to the lighting device control signal receiving unit 11 of the lighting device 9.

よって、侵入者が検知されると、照明機器９が点灯し部屋全体を明るくして侵入者に対して警告作用を与え、より高い防犯効果を発揮することができる。  Therefore, when an intruder is detected, the lighting device 9 is turned on, the entire room is brightened, a warning action is given to the intruder, and a higher crime prevention effect can be exhibited.

同時に、音響機器１０の音響機器制御信号受信部１２へは、音響機器制御信号出力手段１６より音響機器１０を作動させる操作信号を出力する。例えば、音響機器の１つであるテレビの電源をONする操作によって、予め設定した放送チャンネルの音声が、予め設定した音量でスピーカーから出力されることになる。  At the same time, an operation signal for operating the acoustic device 10 is output from the acoustic device control signal output unit 16 to the acoustic device control signal receiving unit 12 of the acoustic device 10. For example, the sound of a preset broadcast channel is output from a speaker at a preset volume by an operation of turning on the power of a television that is one of acoustic devices.

よって、音響によって部屋全体に音を響かせて侵入者に警告作用を与えることにより、さらに高い防犯効果を発揮することができる。  Therefore, a higher crime prevention effect can be exhibited by sounding the entire room with sound and giving a warning action to an intruder.

さらに、コントローラ５は、音響機器１０の音響機器制御信号受信部１２へ音響機器の電源をONするだけではなく、音量を所定の音量までUPする操作信号を出力することによって、侵入者が検知されると、自動的に大音量の音響を発生し、部屋全体に音を響かせて侵
入者に対して警告作用を与えると共に、部屋だけでなく家全体及びその周辺まで聞こえる音を響かせることが可能となる。 Furthermore, the controller 5 not only turns on the power of the audio device to the audio device control signal receiving unit 12 of the audio device 10, but also outputs an operation signal for increasing the volume to a predetermined volume, thereby detecting an intruder. Then, it automatically generates a loud sound, sounds the entire room and gives a warning action to intruders, and can sound the sound that can be heard not only in the room but also in the whole house and its surroundings. Become.

よって、侵入者の発生を居住者および近隣へ報知することができ、より一層高い防犯効果を発揮することができる。  Therefore, the occurrence of an intruder can be notified to the resident and the vicinity, and an even higher crime prevention effect can be exhibited.

また、図１に示すように、部屋に設置された既存の照明機器９や音響機器１０を利用するため、新たな防犯設備の設置や工事の必要もなく、安価で容易に、より高い防犯効果を発揮することができる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 1, since the existing lighting device 9 and the acoustic device 10 installed in the room are used, there is no need for installation or construction of new crime prevention equipment, and it is possible to easily and inexpensively achieve a higher crime prevention effect. Can be demonstrated.
