- step S200 When transitioning to the connection mode (step S200), first, the wireless communication module 15C transitions to the state of attempting router connection (step S211), which is a process of establishing a wireless connection with the router 40. At this time, in one example, the user presses the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button provided on the router 40. After that, when the wireless communication module 15C succeeds in connecting to the router 40, the state transitions to the state of the router connection success (step S213).
- WPS Wi-Fi Protected Setup
- step S213 After the state of successful router connection (step S213), the state of the wireless communication module 15C transitions to the state of attempting server connection (step S221) in which the wireless communication module 15C tries to connect to the server device 50 via the router 40.

After that, the control unit 14 determines whether the condition for switching from the normal mode to the connection mode is satisfied (step S502). If the condition is not satisfied (No in step S502), the process returns to step S501.

Abstract
Description
まず、実施の形態1にかかる機器制御システムについて説明する。図1は、実施の形態1にかかる機器制御システムを含む管理システムの構成の一例を示す図である。なお、以下では、家電機器が空気調和装置である場合を例に挙げる。
実施の形態1では、通常モードと接続モードとを切り分け、接続モード中にネットワーク接続状態をランプ11,12またはブザー13を用いて通知した。しかし、環境、すなわち障害の要因によって、ルータ40との無線接続またはルータ40を介したサーバ装置50との接続を含むネットワーク接続は切断されることがある。例えば電子レンジを使用すると、2.4GHz帯に干渉するため、無線通信モジュール15B,15Cまたは無線通信アダプタ30とルータ40との間のチャンネル設定によっては無線接続が切断されることがある。他にも家電機器10が設けられる部屋のドアの開閉による無線断絶、サーバ装置50のメンテナンスによる停止、ルータ40またはサーバ装置50におけるWANケーブルの抜け等の様々な要因でネットワーク接続が切断されることがある。このため、ネットワーク接続が切断される都度、制御部14によるランプ11,12またはブザー13の制御が行われると、ユーザの混乱を招くことになる。また、これらは障害の要因が解消すれば、ネットワーク設定をやり直す必要がない。このため、実施の形態1で説明した方法での解決は適切ではないことがある。
