[0021] figure 1 A schematic system structure block diagram of the device control system of the first embodiment is shown. This device control system includes the following as main components: a lighting fixture (device) 4 installed in a room; an operation switch (SW) 2 for performing on / off operations of the lighting fixture 4; a human detection sensor (indoor human detection part) 3 for judging whether there is a person in the room where the lighting fixture 4 is installed; and a controller (control part) 1 . The controller 1 is configured to turn on / off the lighting fixture 4 in response to on and off operations of the operation switch 2 . The controller 1 is configured to control the operating state of the lighting fixture 4 based on detection information obtained from the human detection sensor 3 . As described above, the equipment control system of the present embodiment includes the controller (control device) 1 , human detection sensor 3 and operation switch (manual o...

[0060] The following is based on Figure 6-8 A device control system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0061] Image 6A schematic system configuration diagram of the device control system of the second embodiment is shown. In the present embodiment, the controller 1 is equipped with a notification unit (notification function) 15 . The notification unit 15 is designed to audibly notify people in the room that the operation of the lighting fixture 4 is stopped at the moment when the preliminary operation time has elapsed while the lighting fixture 4 is in the standby operation state. Furthermore, the present device control system has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment except that the present device control system includes the notification unit 15 . Therefore, components common to the present embodiment and the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and explanations for these components are ...

Abstract

An appliance control system is provided with a control apparatus, human presence sensors, and an operation switch. The control apparatus comprises a selecting unit for selecting the mode of an appliance driving unit that is for driving an appliance, from among an operation mode wherein the appliance driving unit makes the appliance operate, a limitation mode wherein the appliance driving unit limits the operation of the appliance, and a stop mode wherein the appliance driving unit stops the operation of the appliance. The selection unit switches the appliance driving unit into operation mode when the operation switch is turned ON, and switches the appliance driving unit into stop mode when the operation switch is turned OFF. When the appliance driving unit is in operation mode, and the human presence sensors do not detect any human being during a standby time, the selection unit switches the appliance driving unit into a standby mode. When the appliance driving unit is in standby mode, and the human presence sensors detect a human being during the standby time, the selection unit switches the appliance driving unit into operation mode, and when the human presence sensors do not detect a human being during the standby time in standby mode, the selection unit switches the appliance driving unit into stop mode. When the appliance driving unit is in stop mode, the selection unit does not switch the appliance driving unit into operation mode even when the human presence sensors detect a human being.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an equipment control system. Background technique [0002] Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 9-120708A discloses a building management system (equipment control system). The building management system includes an indoor human detection sensor for judging whether a human is present. When the lighting fixture is turned on, the building management system turns off the lighting fixture when the indoor human detection sensor determines that there is no person. On the other hand, when the indoor human detection sensor determines that a person is present after the lighting fixture is turned off, the building management system turns on the lighting fixture again. [0003] In the case where a long period of time has elapsed since the indoor human detection sensor judged that there was no human, it is considered that there is no longer a human in the vicinity of the lighting fixture. [0004] In the above-mentioned building ma...
