請求項1の発明によれば、窓ガラスが破壊されたことを意味する信号を、電波媒体である無線信号によって受信した負荷制御装置は、照明器具を消灯状態から点灯させるか又はすでに点灯している照明器具の点灯レベルを変化するよう制御する。すなわち、LED光のような直進性の強い光信号に比べ回折現象や透過現象を起こす電波媒体の無線信号を使っているので、窓ガラスが破壊されて侵入者が入り込んで来たか又は単純に遊具球など建物外からの飛来物がガラスを割ったのでガラスが散乱して危険であるという限りなく異常に近い事象を、負荷制御装置で確実に受信できるとともに、照明器具の点灯又は点灯レベル変化により、家人に異常の速報を最も分かり易い目視行為として知らせることが可能となる。   According to invention of Claim 1, the load control apparatus which received the signal which means that the window glass was destroyed by the radio signal which is a radio wave medium makes a lighting fixture light from a light extinction state, or has already lighted. It controls to change the lighting level of the lighting equipment. That is, since a radio signal of a radio wave medium that causes a diffraction phenomenon or a transmission phenomenon is used as compared with an optical signal having strong straightness such as LED light, an intruder has entered because the window glass has been broken, or simply play equipment. As the projectile from outside the building, such as a ball, breaks the glass, the load control device can reliably receive events that are almost abnormal as long as the glass scatters and is dangerous. , It becomes possible to inform the family member of the abnormal breaking news as the most easily understood visual act.

That is, since a radio signal of a radio wave medium that causes diffraction and transmission phenomena is used compared to an optical signal having strong straightness such as LED light, an intruder is suspected of having opened a window or approaching the human body. Can be reliably received by the load control device, and it is possible to notify the householder of the abnormal warning as the most easily understood visual act by lighting the lighting fixture or changing the lighting level. At this time, in order to transmit and receive radio signals between the load control device and the roof side sensor or between the load control device and the window opening / closing sensor by the time division multiplexing method or the frequency multiplexing method, the wireless signal from the roof side sensor is used. And the radio signal from the window opening / closing sensor do not collide with each other, so that the load control device can reliably recognize the abnormal event.

請求項4の発明によれば、窓が開けられたか又は窓が割れたことを意味する信号を、電波媒体である無線信号を介して受信した負荷制御装置は、照明器具を消灯状態から点灯させるか又はすでに点灯している照明器具の点灯レベルを変化するよう制御する。すなわち、LED光のような直進性の強い光信号に比べ回折現象や透過現象を起こす電波媒体の無線信号を使っているので、窓が開けられたという侵入者発生の疑いのある事象と、窓ガラスが破壊されて侵入者が入り込んで来たか又は単純に遊具球など建物外からの飛来物がガラスを割ったのでガラスが散乱して危険であるという限りなく異常に近い事象とを、負荷制御装置で確実に受信できるとともに、照明器具の点灯又は点灯レベル変化により、家人に異常の速報を最も分かり易い目視行為として知らせることが可能となる。このとき、侵入者が複数犯である場合があるので、窓ガラス破壊センサと窓開閉センサとは、同一の窓に設けられるとは限らず、異なる窓に分散配置してもよいし、全ての窓に取り付けてもよい。そして、負荷制御装置と窓ガラス破壊センサとの間や、負荷制御装置と窓開閉センサとの間では、時分割多重方式又は周波数多重方式により無線信号を送受するため、窓ガラス破壊センサからの無線信号と窓開閉センサからの無線信号とが衝突しないので負荷制御装置は確実に異常事象を認識できる。   According to invention of Claim 4, the load control apparatus which received the signal meaning that the window was opened or the window was cracked via the radio signal which is a radio wave medium makes a lighting fixture light from a light extinction state. Or control to change the lighting level of a luminaire that is already lit. In other words, since a radio signal of a radio wave medium that causes a diffraction phenomenon or a transmission phenomenon is used in comparison with an optical signal having strong straightness such as LED light, an event that is suspected of intruder occurrence that a window has been opened, and a window Load control of events that are almost abnormal as long as the glass is broken and an intruder has entered, or because a flying object such as a playground equipment ball breaks the glass and the glass is scattered In addition to being able to be reliably received by the device, it is possible to notify the householder of the abnormal warning as the most easily understood visual act by lighting the lighting fixture or changing the lighting level. At this time, since there may be a plurality of intruders, the window glass breaking sensor and the window opening / closing sensor are not necessarily provided in the same window, and may be distributed in different windows, It may be attached to a window. And since a radio signal is transmitted / received between the load control device and the window glass break sensor or between the load control device and the window opening / closing sensor by a time division multiplexing method or a frequency multiplexing method, a wireless signal from the window glass break sensor is used. Since the signal and the radio signal from the window opening / closing sensor do not collide, the load control device can reliably recognize the abnormal event.

請求項5の発明によれば、請求項1乃至4の態様の如く照明器具や負荷の自動制御のみに限らず、操作スイッチへの操作入力による照明器具の強制点灯又は点灯レベル強制変化を起こせるので、もし請求項1乃至5の各センサ類の送信機能に異常が起きた場合や電池切れで送信パワーが不充分である場合に、操作スイッチへの操作入力というバックアップ策も併存させることができる。   According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, not only the automatic control of the luminaire and load as in the first to fourth aspects, but also the luminaire can be forcibly turned on or forcibly changed by the operation input to the operation switch. If an abnormality occurs in the transmission function of each of the sensors of claims 1 to 5 or if the transmission power is insufficient due to battery exhaustion, a backup measure such as an operation input to the operation switch can coexist.

そして、以上の請求項1乃至5の態様を複合した請求項6乃至9の発明によれば、屋側センサから第1所定無線信号が負荷制御装置に送信された後、続けて窓開閉センサから第2所定無線信号が負荷制御装置に送信された場合、不審者が窓から屋内に侵入しようとしている可能性が高く、家人が屋内から窓を開閉させた場合と区別することができる。また、屋側センサから第1所定無線信号が負荷制御装置に送信された後窓ガラス破壊センサから第3所定無線信号が負荷制御装置に送信された場合、不審者が窓ガラスを破壊して強引に屋内に侵入しようとしている可能性が極めて高い。そのため、不審者か否かの区別が可能である。   And according to invention of Claim 6 thru | or 9 which combined the aspect of the above Claim 1 thru | or 5, after a 1st predetermined radio signal is transmitted to a load control apparatus from a shop side sensor, it continues from a window opening / closing sensor. When the second predetermined radio signal is transmitted to the load control device, there is a high possibility that a suspicious person is trying to enter the room through the window, and this can be distinguished from the case where the housekeeper opens and closes the window from the inside. Further, when the third predetermined radio signal is transmitted from the window side sensor to the load control device after the first predetermined radio signal is transmitted from the shop side sensor to the load control device, the suspicious person breaks the window glass and forcibly pulls it. It is very likely that you are trying to get inside. Therefore, it is possible to distinguish whether the person is a suspicious person.

また、屋側センサから第1所定無線信号が負荷制御装置に送信された場合、屋外の屋側センサの検知領域に人が立ち入ったことがわかるので、負荷制御装置は、例えば玄関の照明を点灯させたりチャイムを鳴らしたりして、家人に人が来たことを知らせることができる。この段階では、不審者でない可能性が高いので、比較的レベルの低い第1段階で負荷をオンさせればよい。屋側センサから第1所定無線信号が負荷制御装置に送信された後、続けて窓開閉センサから第2所定無線信号が負荷制御装置に送信された場合、不審者が窓から屋内に侵入しようとしている可能性が高く、家人が屋内から窓を開閉させた場合と区別することができる。その時は、負荷制御装置は、上記第1段階よりもレベルの高い第2段階で負荷をオンさせればよい。さらに、屋側センサから第1所定無線信号が負荷制御装置に送信された後又は直接窓ガラス破壊センサから第3所定無線信号が負荷制御装置に送信された場合、不審者が窓ガラスを破壊して屋内に侵入しようとしている可能性が極めて高いので、負荷制御装置は、最高レベルの第3段階で負荷をオンさせればよい。その結果、段階的に屋内の住人に不審者の侵入を通報しうる防犯装置の機能を備えた負荷制御システムを提供することができる。なお、負荷としては、照明装置、警報装置、警備会社への通報装置あるいは電気錠(オートドアロック)などを用いることができる。負荷が電気錠である場合、第2段階及び第3段階とは、施錠解除とすることができる。それによって、家人はすみやかに屋外に避難することができる。   In addition, when the first predetermined wireless signal is transmitted from the shop side sensor to the load control device, it can be seen that a person has entered the detection area of the outdoor shop side sensor. You can let them know that a person has come by letting them play or chime. At this stage, since there is a high possibility that the person is not a suspicious person, the load may be turned on at the first stage having a relatively low level. After the first predetermined wireless signal is transmitted from the roof side sensor to the load control device, when the second predetermined wireless signal is transmitted from the window opening / closing sensor to the load control device, the suspicious person tries to enter the indoor through the window. This can be distinguished from the case where the housekeeper opens and closes the window from the inside. At that time, the load control device may turn on the load in the second stage having a higher level than the first stage. Furthermore, after the first predetermined radio signal is transmitted from the roof side sensor to the load control device or when the third predetermined radio signal is transmitted directly from the window glass breaking sensor to the load control device, the suspicious person breaks the window glass. Therefore, the load control device only has to turn on the load in the third stage at the highest level. As a result, it is possible to provide a load control system having a function of a crime prevention device capable of reporting intruder intruders to indoor dwellers step by step. In addition, as a load, an illuminating device, an alarm device, a reporting device for a security company, an electric lock (automatic door lock), or the like can be used. When the load is an electric lock, the second stage and the third stage can be unlocked. As a result, the family members can evacuate to the outside quickly.

なお、負荷制御装置(壁面スイッチ)、屋側センサ、人体感知センサ、窓開閉センサ、窓ガラス破壊センサなどに関しては、本出願人が別途特許出願を行っているので、これらの具体的な構成については説明を省略する。   Regarding the load control device (wall switch), the shop side sensor, the human body sensor, the window opening / closing sensor, the window glass breaking sensor, etc. Will not be described.

次に、上記負荷制御システムにおける防犯機能について、図2に示すフローチャートを参照しつつ説明する。全ての照明装置21〜28が消灯され又は1又は複数の照明装置(例えば照明装置21、24、27など)が所定の就寝モード(いわゆる豆電球オン)でオンされた後一定時間経過したとき、又は人体感知センサ71〜73が第5所定無線信号(消灯信号)を送信した後さらに一定時間人の存在を検知しなくなったとき、家人は就寝していると判断できる(#1)。そこで、負荷制御装置31〜37は、いずれかの屋側センサ41〜44から第1所定無線信号が送信されたか否かを判断する(#2)。いずれかの負荷制御装置31〜37が屋側センサ41〜44からの第1所定無線信号を受信すると、照明装置21〜28のいずれか又は全てをオン(点灯)させると共にその照明装置の点灯状態を就寝モードよりもやや輝度の高い第1段階とし、又はすでにオンしている照明装置の点灯状態を第1段階とする(#3)。それによって、就寝中の家人に、屋外に人がいること、しかもその人が屋内に入ってくる可能性が高いことを知らせることができる。なお、この段階では、屋外にいる人物が必ずしも不審者であるとは限らず、遅くに帰宅した家人である可能性もある。また、鳥や猫などの小動物が侵入した可能性もある。従って、照明装置21〜28の明るさは、就寝中の家人に注意を喚起する程度の明るさとする。   Next, the security function in the load control system will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. When all the lighting devices 21 to 28 are turned off or one or more lighting devices (for example, the lighting devices 21, 24, 27, etc.) are turned on in a predetermined sleeping mode (so-called bean bulb on), a certain time has elapsed, Alternatively, when the human body detection sensors 71 to 73 do not detect the presence of a person for a certain time after transmitting the fifth predetermined wireless signal (light-off signal), it can be determined that the householder is sleeping (# 1). Therefore, the load control devices 31 to 37 determine whether or not the first predetermined radio signal is transmitted from any of the roof side sensors 41 to 44 (# 2). When any one of the load control devices 31 to 37 receives the first predetermined radio signal from the shop side sensors 41 to 44, any or all of the lighting devices 21 to 28 are turned on (lighted) and the lighting state of the lighting device is turned on. Is set to the first stage having a slightly higher luminance than the sleep mode, or the lighting state of the lighting device already turned on is set to the first stage (# 3). As a result, it is possible to inform a sleeping home person that there is a person outdoors and that the person is likely to enter the house. At this stage, a person who is outdoors is not necessarily a suspicious person, and may be a housekeeper who comes home late. There is also the possibility that small animals such as birds and cats have invaded. Therefore, the brightness of the illuminating devices 21 to 28 is set to such a level as to call attention to a sleeping householder.

次に、照明装置21〜28のいずれか又は全てが第1段階でオンしているときに、さらにいずれかの窓開閉センサ51又は52から第2所定無線信号を受信すると(#5でYES)、不審者が窓を開けて屋内に入ってこようとしている可能性が高いので、負荷制御装置31〜37は、照明装置21〜28の点灯状態を第1段階よりも輝度が高い第2段階(例えば全点灯、すなわち最高輝度による点灯)とする(#6)。または、照明装置21〜28のいずれか又は全てが第1段階でオンしているときに、さらに窓ガラス破壊センサ61又は62から第3所定無線信号を受信すると(#7でYES)、不審者が窓ガラスを破壊して強引に屋内に侵入しようとしている可能性が極めて高いので、その負荷の状態を第2段階(例えば全点灯)と同等かそれよりも高い第3段階(例えば特定の照明装置を最高輝度で点滅させ、避難路に当たる照明装置は最高輝度で点灯させる)とする(#8)。   Next, when any or all of the lighting devices 21 to 28 are turned on in the first stage, further receiving a second predetermined radio signal from any one of the window opening / closing sensors 51 or 52 (YES in # 5). Since the suspicious person is likely to open the window and enter the room, the load control devices 31 to 37 change the lighting states of the lighting devices 21 to 28 to the second stage where the luminance is higher than the first stage ( For example, all lighting is performed, that is, lighting with the highest luminance) (# 6). Alternatively, when any or all of the lighting devices 21 to 28 are turned on in the first stage and further receive a third predetermined radio signal from the window glass break sensor 61 or 62 (YES in # 7), the suspicious person Is very likely to break into the window and forcibly enter the room, so that the load is in a third stage (eg certain lighting) that is equal to or higher than the second stage (eg full lighting). The device is blinked with the highest luminance, and the lighting device that hits the evacuation route is turned on with the highest luminance) (# 8).

なお、夜遅くに帰宅した家人が玄関の扉を解錠して屋内に入った場合(不審者でない場合)、例えば屋側センサ41は人の存在を検知しなくなるので、屋側センサ41からの第1所定無線信号が消失した場合は(#4でYES)、第1段階で点灯されていた照明装置21〜28を消灯又は元の就寝モードでの点灯に戻す(#9)。   In addition, when the housekeeper who came home late at night enters the room indoors by unlocking the entrance door (when it is not a suspicious person), for example, the shop side sensor 41 does not detect the presence of a person. When the first predetermined radio signal disappears (YES in # 4), the lighting devices 21 to 28 that have been turned on in the first stage are turned off or returned to lighting in the original sleeping mode (# 9).

さらに、負荷制御装置負31〜37に警報装置91、警備会社への通報装置92あるいは電気錠(オートドアロック)93などが負荷として接続されている場合は、各段階に応じて様々な対応が可能である。例えば、屋側センサ41〜44から第1所定無線信号が送信された場合は、警報装置91からチャイムを鳴らしたりして、家人に人が来たことを知らせるように構成してもよい。なお、上記のように、この段階では必ずしも不審者とは言えないので、警備会社への通報装置92あるいは電気錠93は動作させる必要はない。次に、窓開閉センサ51又は52から第2所定無線信号が送信された場合は、不審者である可能性はかなり高くなるので、警報装置91の音量を高くして警報を発生させ、警備会社への通報装置92あるいは電気錠93を動作させてもよい。さらに、窓ガラス破壊センサ61又は62から第3所定無線信号が送信された場合は、不審者がまさに屋内に侵入しようとしているので、警報装置91の音量を最大限に高くして警報を発生させ、警備会社への通報装置92あるいは電気錠93を動作させる。それによって、家人はすみやかに屋外に避難することができる。   Furthermore, when a load control device negative 31 to 37 is connected with a warning device 91, a reporting device 92 to a security company or an electric lock (auto door lock) 93 as a load, various measures can be taken depending on each stage. It is. For example, when the first predetermined wireless signal is transmitted from the shop side sensors 41 to 44, the alarm device 91 may be configured to sound a chime to notify the householder that a person has come. As described above, since it is not necessarily a suspicious person at this stage, it is not necessary to operate the reporting device 92 or the electric lock 93 to the security company. Next, when the second predetermined wireless signal is transmitted from the window opening / closing sensor 51 or 52, the possibility of being a suspicious person is considerably increased. Therefore, the alarm device 91 is increased in volume to generate an alarm. The notification device 92 or the electric lock 93 may be operated. Further, when the third predetermined radio signal is transmitted from the window glass breaking sensor 61 or 62, since the suspicious person is about to enter the room, the alarm device 91 is set to the maximum volume to generate an alarm. Then, the reporting device 92 or the electric lock 93 to the security company is operated. As a result, the family members can evacuate to the outside quickly.

なお、屋側センサ41〜44から第1所定無線信号が送信されずに、直接窓開閉センサ51又は52から第2所定無線信号が送信された場合は、通常、家人によって屋内から窓2又は3が開閉されたと考えられるので、不審者が侵入しようとする場合と区別することができる。一方、屋側センサ41〜44の検知領域を回避して、不審者が直接窓2又は3に接近しうる場合もあり得る。従って、前者の場合、誤報の可能性があるため、第2所定無線信号を送信した窓開閉センサ51又は52が設けられている部屋の照明装置27又は28又は特定の照明装置だけを点灯させるように構成してもよい。   When the second predetermined wireless signal is transmitted directly from the window opening / closing sensor 51 or 52 without transmitting the first predetermined wireless signal from the shop side sensors 41 to 44, the window 2 or 3 is usually indoors by a householder. Can be distinguished from the case where a suspicious person tries to invade. On the other hand, there may be a case where a suspicious person can approach the window 2 or 3 directly while avoiding the detection areas of the shop side sensors 41 to 44. Therefore, in the former case, since there is a possibility of false alarm, only the lighting device 27 or 28 in the room provided with the window opening / closing sensor 51 or 52 that has transmitted the second predetermined wireless signal or only a specific lighting device is turned on. You may comprise.

また、屋側センサ41〜44から第1所定無線信号が送信されずに、直接窓ガラス破壊センサ61又は62から第3所定無線信号が送信された場合は、家人によって屋内から窓ガラスが破壊されたか、屋側センサ41〜44の検知領域を回避して、不審者が直接窓2又は3に接近して窓ガラスを破壊したことが考えられる。いずれにせよ、異常事態であり、割れたガラスの破片などによってけがをする危険があるため、特定の又は全ての照明装置21〜28を点灯させると共に、所定の警報を発生させるように構成してもよい。   In addition, when the third predetermined wireless signal is transmitted directly from the window glass breaking sensor 61 or 62 without the first predetermined wireless signal being transmitted from the shop side sensors 41 to 44, the window glass is broken indoors by a householder. It is conceivable that the suspicious person directly approached the window 2 or 3 and broke the window glass by avoiding the detection area of the shop side sensors 41 to 44. In any case, because it is an abnormal situation and there is a risk of injury due to broken pieces of broken glass, etc., it is configured to turn on a specific or all lighting devices 21 to 28 and generate a predetermined alarm. Also good.

さらに、複数の屋側センサ41〜44が同時に又は時間をおいて第1所定無線信号が送信された場合、不審者が屋内に侵入しようとしている可能性が高いので、窓開閉センサ51又は52からの第2所定無線信号又は窓ガラス破壊センサ61又は62からの第3所定無線信号の送信を待たずに、特定の又は全ての照明装置21〜28を点灯させ、警報装置91から警報音を発生させるように構成してもよい。さらに、人体感知センサや屋側センサの人体感知機能の方式については、焦電素子を利用して人体から発する熱線を感知するタイプのものであってもよいし、画像処理によって人体の存否を推定するタイプのものであってもかまわない。   Furthermore, when the first predetermined radio signal is transmitted simultaneously or after a plurality of shop side sensors 41 to 44, there is a high possibility that a suspicious person is trying to enter the room. Without waiting for the transmission of the second predetermined radio signal or the third predetermined radio signal from the window breaker sensor 61 or 62, the specific or all lighting devices 21 to 28 are turned on and an alarm sound is generated from the alarm device 91. You may comprise. Further, the human body sensing function of the human body sensor or the shop side sensor may be of a type that senses heat rays emitted from the human body using a pyroelectric element, or the presence or absence of the human body is estimated by image processing. It does not matter if it is of the type to be used.

以上説明したように、本発明によれば、家屋の外壁部や軒下などに設けられた屋側センサによって人が近づいたことを検知し、例えば照明装置を薄暗く点灯させて、家人に人が来たことを知らせ、さらに窓開閉センサにより窓が開かれたこと又は窓ガラス破壊センサによって窓ガラスが破壊されたことを検知することによって、照明装置を例えば最高輝度で点灯させて家人に警報を発し、さらに警報音を発生させると共に警備会社に通報し、電気錠を解錠して避難路を確保することができる。なお、上記実施形態の説明では特に記載していないが、各照明装置を含む負荷に対する電源供給は図示しない配線によって行われ、負荷制御装置(壁面スイッチ)は負荷のオン又はオフ、及びオンしている負荷の段階を制御するものであることは言うまでもない。   As described above, according to the present invention, it is detected that a person is approaching by a house side sensor provided on the outer wall of the house or under the eaves, for example, the lighting device is dimly lit, and the person comes to the housekeeper. By detecting that the window has been opened by the window open / close sensor or that the window glass has been broken by the window glass break sensor, the lighting device is turned on at the highest brightness, for example, and a warning is given to the householder. In addition, an alarm sound can be generated and a security company can be notified and the electric lock can be unlocked to secure an escape route. Although not particularly described in the description of the above embodiment, power supply to the load including each lighting device is performed by wiring (not shown), and the load control device (wall switch) is turned on or off and turned on. Needless to say, it controls the stage of the load.

さらに、本発明は、様々な応用が可能である。上記のように、操作スイッチがタイマー機能を有している場合、ユーザが外出する前にあらかじめ操作スイッチに点灯時間を設定しておくことにより、帰宅前から照明装置を点灯させ、在宅しているように見せかけることも可能である。それによって、不審者の侵入を未然に防止する防犯効果が得られる。また、長期間不在にする場合は、毎日決められた時間に照明装置を点灯及び消灯させることも可能である。さらに、毎日同じ時間に同じ照明装置が点灯及び消灯されるのは不自然であるため、点灯時間、消灯時間及び点灯される照明装置をランダムに又は所定のパターンに従って制御することも可能である。さらに、操作スイッチが照明シーン演出機能を有している場合、点灯時の照明装置の明るさランダムに又は所定のパターンに従って制御することも可能である。さらに、インターネットに無線インターネットアダプタ(無線ターミナル装置)が接続されているときは、ユーザは外出先から携帯電話などを用いて照明装置の点灯、消灯又は調光を制御することができ、それによって、不在時でも照明装置を点灯させ、在宅しているように見せかけることも可能である。   Furthermore, the present invention can be applied in various ways. As described above, when the operation switch has a timer function, the lighting device is turned on before returning home by setting the lighting time in the operation switch in advance before the user goes out. It is possible to make it look like this. As a result, a crime prevention effect can be obtained to prevent a suspicious person from entering. In addition, when the absence is made for a long period of time, the lighting device can be turned on and off at a predetermined time every day. Furthermore, since it is unnatural that the same lighting device is turned on and off at the same time every day, the lighting time, the turn-off time, and the lighting device to be turned on can be controlled randomly or according to a predetermined pattern. Furthermore, when the operation switch has a lighting scene effect function, it is possible to control the brightness of the lighting device at the time of lighting randomly or according to a predetermined pattern. Furthermore, when a wireless Internet adapter (wireless terminal device) is connected to the Internet, the user can control lighting, extinction or dimming of the lighting device using a mobile phone or the like from the outside, It is possible to turn on the lighting device even when you are away, and make it appear to be at home.

なお、上述の実施形態では、各無線センサ端末類と負荷制御装置とのあいだの無線伝送方式を、時分割多重方式でも周波数多重方式でもよいことを述べた。時分割多重方式については、1台の負荷制御装置が複数の無線センサ端末の各無線報告を時分割で受けるものが基本スタイルであり、例えば、TDMA、特定小電力無線、小電力無線と称される汎用の方式が適用可能である。もちろん、負荷制御装置が1台とは限らず、複数の無線センサ端末それぞれは、複数の負荷制御装置へ無線報告してもかまわない。周波数多重方式については、1台の負荷制御装置が複数の無線センサ端末の各無線報告を周波数分割で受けるものが基本スタイルである。もちろん、負荷制御装置が1台とは限らず、使用周波数帯の帯域に余裕があれば、複数の無線センサ端末それぞれは、複数の負荷制御装置へ無線報告してもかまわない。   In the above-described embodiment, it has been described that the wireless transmission method between each wireless sensor terminal and the load control device may be a time division multiplexing method or a frequency multiplexing method. As for the time division multiplexing method, a basic style is that one load control device receives each wireless report of a plurality of wireless sensor terminals by time division, and is called, for example, TDMA, specific low power wireless, or low power wireless. A general-purpose method can be applied. Of course, the number of load control devices is not limited to one, and each of a plurality of wireless sensor terminals may wirelessly report to a plurality of load control devices. Regarding the frequency multiplexing method, the basic style is that one load control device receives each wireless report of a plurality of wireless sensor terminals by frequency division. Of course, the number of load control devices is not limited to one, and each of the plurality of wireless sensor terminals may wirelessly report to a plurality of load control devices as long as there is room in the band of the used frequency band.
