DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] (The knowledge and other information that formed the basis of this disclosure) At the time when the inventors came up with the present disclosure, there was a technology for making effective use of air conditioners. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technology for calculating a maintenance contract fee for an air conditioner based on environmental information acquired from the air conditioner. Generally, many air conditioners are installed in a region. Therefore, if multiple air conditioners can be effectively utilized, it may lead to the creation of new services. However, the inventors discovered a problem in that while Patent Document 1 can effectively utilize one air conditioner, it cannot effectively utilize multiple air conditioners, and they came to constitute the subject of the present disclosure in order to solve the problem. In view of this, the present disclosure provides a data processing system that can make effective use of multiple air conditioners, a control method for a data processing system, a data processing device, and a program.

[0012] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, in some cases, more detailed explanations than necessary may be omitted. For example, detailed explanations of already well-known matters or duplicate explanations of substantially the same configurations may be omitted. It should be noted that the accompanying drawings and the following description are provided to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims.

[0013] (Embodiment 1) [1-1. Configuration] [1-1-1. Data processing system configuration] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a data processing system 1000. The data processing system 1000 is a system that processes the first detection data D1 of the sensor unit 37 of the air conditioner 1 and provides various services.

The first sensing data D1 is an example of "sensing data."

[0014] The data processing system 1000 includes multiple air conditioners 1. The air conditioners 1 are devices that condition the conditioned space S. Examples of air conditioning of the conditioned space S include cooling, heating, dehumidification, ventilation, and the like. The conditioned space S is a space that belongs to a facility H, and is a space that is conditioned by the air conditioners 1. Examples of the facility H include a house and an office.

[0015] The air conditioner 1 comprises an indoor unit 2 and an outdoor unit 3, and performs air conditioning operation using the indoor unit 2 and the outdoor unit 3 to condition the conditioned space S in which the indoor unit 2 is installed. In this embodiment, a wall-mounted type is exemplified as the type of the indoor unit 2, but the indoor unit 2 may be of other types such as a ceiling cassette type or a ceiling suspended type. The indoor unit 2 is communicatively connected to a communication device 5, and communicates with devices connected to the network NW via the communication device 5.

The sensor unit 37 periodically detects the amount of pollen scattered in the air, and transmits first detection data D1 indicating the detection result to the indoor unit 2 via the outdoor unit communication unit 31. Pollen is an example of a "particulate."

[0027] Next, the configuration of the indoor unit 2 will be described. The indoor unit 2 is equipped with an indoor unit control device 21, an indoor heat exchanger 22 that exchanges heat between the refrigerant and air, an indoor blower 23 that blows air into the conditioned space S, a regulating valve 24 that adjusts the flow rate of refrigerant to the indoor unit 2, a CO2 sensor 25, a network communication unit 26, and an indoor unit communication unit 27.

[0029] The indoor unit processor 200 is a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or an MPU (Micro Processing Unit). The indoor unit memory 210 is a memory that stores programs and data. The indoor unit memory 210 stores a control program 211, data to be processed by the indoor unit processor 200, and the like. The indoor unit memory 210 has a non-volatile storage area. The indoor unit memory 210 also has a volatile storage area, and constitutes a work area of ​​the indoor unit processor 210. The indoor unit memory 210 is constituted by, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory) or a RAM (Random Access Memory).

[0030] As shown in Fig. 2, an indoor blower 23, a regulating valve 24, a CO2 sensor 25, a network communication unit 26, and an indoor unit communication unit 27 are connected to the indoor unit control device 21 via an interface circuit. Note that the devices connected to the indoor unit control device 21 are not limited to only the devices shown in Fig. 2, and other devices may be further connected. For example, if the indoor unit 2 is equipped with other devices such as an electrostatic atomizer, a temperature sensor, and a humidity sensor, these other devices may be further connected to the indoor unit control device 21.

[0031] The CO2 sensor 25 is a sensor that detects the concentration of CO2 (carbon dioxide) (hereinafter referred to as "CO2 concentration"). The CO2 sensor is, for example, a sensor that employs a non-dispersive infrared absorption method. The CO2 sensor 25 periodically detects the CO2 concentration in the conditioned space S in which the indoor unit 2 is installed, and outputs second detection data D2 indicating the detection result to the indoor unit control device 21.

[0032] The network communication unit 26 includes communication hardware such as a communication circuit and an antenna that conform to a predetermined communication standard, and communicates with the service providing server 7 under the control of the indoor unit control device 21.

[0033] The indoor unit communication unit 27 communicates with the outdoor unit communication unit 31 of the outdoor unit 3 via the control wiring. The indoor unit communication unit 27 includes communication hardware such as a connector and a communication circuit that conforms to a predetermined communication standard.

[0034] The indoor unit processor 200 functions as an indoor unit communication control section 201 by reading and executing a control program 211 stored in the indoor unit memory 210 .

[0035] The indoor unit communication control unit 201 communicates with the service providing server 7 via the network communication unit 26. The indoor unit communication control unit 201 also communicates with the outdoor unit 3 via the indoor unit communication unit 27.

[0036] When the indoor unit communication control unit 201 receives the first detection data D1 from the sensor unit 37, it transmits the received first detection data D1 to the service providing server 7. The indoor unit communication control unit 201 adds an air conditioner ID (Identification) for identifying the air conditioner 1 to the first detection data D1, and transmits the first detection data D1 with the air conditioner ID added to the service providing server 7. The air conditioner ID is stored in advance in the indoor unit memory 210.

[0037] Furthermore, upon receiving the second detection data D2 from the CO2 sensor 25, the indoor unit communication control unit 201 transmits the received second detection data D2 to the service providing server 7. The indoor unit communication control unit 201 adds the air conditioner ID to the second detection data D2, and transmits the second detection data D2 with the air conditioner ID added to the service providing server 7.

[0038] [1-1-3. Air purifier configuration] Next, the configuration of the air purifier 4 will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the air purifier 4. As shown in FIG. The air purifier 4 includes an air purifier control device 41, an air purifier communication unit 42, and an air purification unit 43.

[0039] The air purifier control device 41 includes an air purifier processor 400, which is a processor such as a CPU or MPU, an air purifier memory 410, and an interface circuit to which other devices and sensors are connected. An air purifier communication unit 42 and an air purification unit 43 are connected to the air purifier control device 41.

The air purifying unit 43 also has a mechanism for collecting fine particles such as pollen. Examples of such a mechanism include a mechanism for sucking in and releasing air, and a dust collecting filter for collecting fine particles contained in the sucked air.

[0043] The air purifier processor 400 reads out and executes a control program 411 stored in an air purifier memory 410, thereby functioning as an air purifier communication control unit 401 and an air purification execution unit 402.

[0044] The air purifier communication control unit 401 communicates with the service providing server 7 via the air purifier communication unit 42. The air purifier communication control unit 401 transmits status data D3 to the service providing server 7 when the air purifier 4 is turned on or off. The status data D3 is data indicating whether the air purifier 4 is operating or not. The air purifier communication control unit 401 adds an air purifier ID for identifying the air purifier 4 to the status data D3, and transmits the status data D3 with the air purifier ID added to the service providing server 7. The air purifier ID is pre-stored in the air purifier memory 410.

[0045] The air purification execution unit 402 purifies the air by the air purification unit 43 .

[0046] [1-1-4. Terminal device configuration] Next, the configuration of the terminal device 6 will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the configuration of the terminal device 6. As shown in FIG. The terminal device 6 includes a terminal control device 61, a terminal communication unit 62, a touch panel 63, and a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) unit 64.

[0047] The terminal control device 61 includes a terminal processor 600, which is a processor such as a CPU or an MPU, a terminal memory 610, and an interface circuit to which other devices and sensors are connected. A terminal communication unit 62 and a touch panel 63 are connected to the terminal control device 61. Note that other devices such as sensors may be connected to the terminal control device 61.

[0048] The terminal memory 610 is a memory that stores programs and data. The terminal memory 610 stores the APP 611 and other data to be processed by the terminal processor 600. The terminal memory 610 has a non-volatile storage area. The terminal memory 610 also has a volatile storage area and constitutes a work area for the terminal processor 600. The terminal memory 610 is constituted by, for example, a ROM or a RAM.

[0049] The terminal communication unit 62 includes hardware such as a communication circuit that complies with a predetermined communication standard, and communicates with the service providing server 7 under the control of the terminal control device 61 . The touch panel 63 includes a display panel and a touch sensor. The GNSS unit 64 measures the current position of the terminal device 6. The GNSS unit 64 outputs the positioning result to the terminal control device 61 at a predetermined period.

[0050] The terminal processor 600 reads out and executes an APP 611 stored in the terminal memory 610 , thereby functioning as a display unit 601 , a reception unit 602 , and a terminal communication control unit 603 . The display unit 601 is an example of an "output unit" and a "notification unit."

[0051] The display unit 601 displays a UI (User Interface) for receiving services provided by the data processing system 1000 on the touch panel 63. In the following description, this UI is referred to as a "service UI" and is given the reference number "631." In addition, the display unit 601 notifies the user P of predetermined contents by displaying notification information NJ.

[0052] The reception unit 602 receives various operations from the user P via the touch panel 63 .

[0053] Here, the service UI 631 will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the service UI 631. 5, the left and right directions when the user P views the service UI 631 are indicated by the symbols L and R. The direction indicated by the symbol L is the left direction, and the direction indicated by the symbol R is the right direction.

[0054] The service UI 631 has a display area HA that displays a map MP. The map MP is a diagram showing the air quality of the area in which the air conditioner 1 is installed. In the present embodiment, the map MP shows the state of pollen dispersion in the outdoor air as the air quality.

[0055] Map MP shows the amount of pollen scattered on a map of a specified area with colors according to the level. In this embodiment, map MP shows the amount of pollen scattered in four levels: level 1, level 2, level 3, and level 4. Level 1 indicates that the amount of pollen scattered is less than levels 2, 3, and 4. Level 2 indicates that the amount of pollen scattered is greater than level 1 and less than levels 3 and 4. Level 3 indicates that the amount of pollen scattered is greater than levels 1 and 2 and less than level 4. Level 4 indicates that the amount of pollen scattered is greater than levels 1, 2, and 3.

[0056] In the map MP, areas where the amount of pollen in the air corresponds to level 1 are shown in a first color different from levels 2, 3, and 4. In addition, in the map MP, areas where the amount of pollen in the air corresponds to level 2 are shown in a second color different from levels 1, 3, and 4. In addition, in the map MP, areas where the amount of pollen in the air corresponds to level 3 are shown in a third color different from levels 1, 2, and 4. In addition, in the map MP, areas where the amount of pollen in the air corresponds to level 4 are shown in a fourth color different from levels 1, 2, and 3. The color indicating the amount of scattered pollen may be a color that becomes darker as the level value increases, or a color that changes from blue to red according to the hue as the level value increases.

[0057] In the map MP, on the map of a predetermined area, the locations where the amount of scattered pollen cannot be shown are shown by a fifth color different from the locations where the amount of scattered pollen can be shown. It is preferable that the fifth color is a color that is significantly different in hue from the first to fourth colors. For example, when the first to fourth colors are colors according to the hue, it is preferable that the fifth color is white, gray, or the like.

[0058] When the service UI 631 starts displaying, the map of the predetermined area shown by the map MP is a map of an area with a radius α (for example, a radius of 8 km (kilometers)) centered on the current position of the terminal device 6. After the service UI 631 starts displaying, the scale and display area of ​​the map of the predetermined area shown by the map MP can be changed by an operation of the user P.

[0059] In the display area HA, a current position mark MK indicating the current position of the terminal device 6 is displayed superimposed on the map MP. This allows the user P to easily grasp the amount of dispersed pollen at his / her current position.

[0060] In the display area HA, time information TJ is displayed superimposed on the map MP. The time information TJ is information indicating the time at which the pollen dispersion situation shown by the map MP is. The time information TJ is an image of a block, and the time at which the dispersion situation is shown is indicated by a character string within the block. In FIG. 5, the time information TJ indicates the character string "present". This indicates that the pollen dispersion situation shown by the map MP in FIG. 5 is the dispersion situation at the current time. The character string indicated by the time information TJ changes in conjunction with the position of a slider SR, which will be described later.

[0061] The service U631 displays mark specification information MJ which indicates what type of mark the current position mark MK is.

[0062] The service UI 631 displays the correspondence information CJ. The correspondence information CJ is information indicating the correspondence between the level of the amount of scattered pollen and the color corresponding to the level. The correspondence information CJ includes, for each level of the amount of scattered pollen, a combination of a numerical value indicating the degree of the level and an image presented in the corresponding color. The correspondence information CJ also includes an image presented in a fifth color. In other words, the correspondence information CJ includes an image indicating the color of the part that cannot indicate the amount of scattered pollen.

[0063] The service UI 631 has a slider SR. This is a UI component that accepts an operation to change the pollen dispersion status shown by the map MP. The slider SR can be moved along an axis SH that extends in the left-right direction and indicates elapsed time, in units of scale marks on the axis SH. In this embodiment, scale marks of "+1", "+2", "+3", "+4", "+5", and "+6" are marked on the axis SH. The scale mark of "+N" indicates the elapsed time N hours from the present. Here, N is an integer from 1 to 6.

[0064] Fig. 5 shows a case where the slider SR is at the current scale. Therefore, in Fig. 5, the map MP shows the current pollen dispersion situation. When the slider SR is at the "+N" scale, the map MP in the service UI 631 shows a prediction of the pollen dispersion situation when N hours have passed from the present.

[0065] The service UI 631 has a play button RB. The play button RB is a software button for automatically changing the pollen dispersion situation shown on the map MP. When the reception unit 602 receives an operation of the play button RB, the slider SR moves to the right, one notch at a time. As the slider SR moves, the display area H1 displays a forecast of the pollen dispersion situation corresponding to the position of the slider SR.

[0066] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the service UI 631 when the play button RB is operated. Fig. 6 shows a case where the play button RB is operated and the pollen scattering situation shown on the map MP changes from the current pollen scattering situation to the pollen scattering situation three hours later. As shown in Fig. 6, when the map MP shows the pollen scattering situation three hours later, the slider SR is located at the scale indicating three hours later on the axis SH. Also, as shown in Fig. 6, when the map MP shows the pollen scattering situation three hours later, the time information TJ indicating the scattering situation three hours later is displayed in the display area HA2.

[0067] Returning to the description of the functional units of the terminal processor 600 shown in Fig. 4, the terminal communication control unit 603 communicates with the service providing server 7 via the terminal communication unit 62. When the display unit 601 starts displaying the service UI 631, the terminal communication control unit 603 transmits map request information to the service providing server 7. The map request information is information requesting a map MP, and includes the latest positioning result of the GNSS unit 64, i.e., the current position of the terminal device 6.

[0068] [1-1-5. Service provision server configuration] Next, the configuration of the service providing server 7 will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the configuration of the service providing server 7. As shown in FIG.

[0069] The service providing server 7 includes a server control device 71 and a server communication unit 72 . The server control device 71 is an example of a "computer."

[0070] The server control device 71 includes a server processor 700, which is a processor such as a CPU or an MPU, a server memory 710, and an interface circuit to which other devices and sensors are connected.

[0071] The server memory 710 is a memory that stores programs and data. The server memory 710 stores a control program 711, a first management DB (database) 712, a second management DB 713, a third management DB 714, and data to be processed by the server processor 700. The server memory 710 has a non-volatile storage area. The server memory 710 also has a volatile storage area, and constitutes a work area of ​​the server processor 700. The server memory 710 is constituted by, for example, a ROM or a RAM. The control program 711 is an example of a "program."

[0072] The first management DB 712 is a database having one record R1 for each air conditioner 1. In the record R1, the air conditioner ID, the installation position of the outdoor unit 3, the first detected data D1, and the second detected data D2 are recorded. The installation location of the outdoor unit 3 is, for example, indicated by latitude and longitude or an address.

[0073] The second management DB 713 is a database having one record R2 for each air purifier 4 linked to the terminal device 6. The air purifier 4 linked to the terminal device 6 means an air purifier 4 that can be controlled by the function of the APP 611 installed in the terminal device 6. The record R2 records an air purifier ID, air purifier communication information, and status data D3. The air purifier communication information is information for communicating with the air purifier 4, such as address information.

[0074] The third management DB 714 is a database having one record R3 for each user P. A user ID and multiple air conditioner IDs are recorded in the record R3. The user ID is identification information uniquely assigned to the user P who uses the APP 611. When the terminal device 6 and the air purifier 4 are linked, the record R3 further records an air purifier ID.

[0075] The server communication unit 72 includes hardware such as a communication circuit that complies with a predetermined communication standard, and communicates with the air conditioner 1, the air purifier 4, the terminal device 6, and the weather server 8 under the control of the server control device 71.

[0076] The server processor 700 reads out and executes a control program 711 stored in the server memory 710, thereby functioning as an acquisition unit 701, a creation unit 702, a notification information transmission unit 703, and an air purifier control unit 704.

[0077] The acquisition unit 701 acquires first detection data D1. The acquisition unit 701 communicates with the air conditioner 1 via the server communication unit 71. The acquisition unit 701 acquires the first detection data D1 from the air conditioner 1 by receiving the first detection data D1 from the air conditioner 1. When the acquisition unit 701 receives the first detection data D1, it identifies, from the first management DB 712, a record R1 of the air conditioner ID added to the received first detection data D1. Then, the acquisition unit 701 updates the first detection data D1 of the identified record R1 to the received first detection data D1.

[0078] The acquisition unit 701 acquires the second detection data D2. The acquisition unit 701 acquires the second detection data D2 from the air conditioner 1 by receiving the second detection data D2 from the air conditioner 1. Upon receiving the second detection data D2, the acquisition unit 701 identifies, from the first management DB 712, a record R1 of the air conditioner ID added to the received second detection data D2. The acquisition unit 701 then updates the second detection data D2 of the identified record R1 to the received second detection data D2.

[0079] The acquisition unit 701 acquires status data D3. The acquisition unit 701 communicates with the air purifier 4 via the server communication unit 71. The acquisition unit 701 acquires the status data D3 from the air purifier 4 by receiving the status data D3 from the air purifier 4. When the acquisition unit 701 receives the status data D3, it identifies, from the second management DB 713, the record R2 of the air purifier ID added to the received status data D3. Then, the acquisition unit 701 updates the status data D3 of the identified record R2 to the received status data D3.

[0080] The creation unit 702 creates a map MP. The creation unit 702 communicates with the terminal device 6 via the server communication unit 71. When the creation unit 702 receives map request information from the terminal device 6, the creation unit 702 creates a map MP based on the received map request information.

[0081] We will now go into detail about the creation of Map MP. The creation unit 702 identifies, from the first management DB 712, a record R1 of an air conditioner 1 whose outdoor unit 3 is located within an area of ​​radius α centered on the current position of the terminal device 6 included in the map request information. This identification is performed by referring to the installation position of the outdoor unit included in record R1.

[0082] Next, the creation unit 702 superimposes a circle CR of radius β (for example, radius 50 meters) on a map of an area of ​​radius α centered on the current position of the terminal device 6 included in the map request information. Note that radius β is smaller than radius α. The superimposition of the circle CR is performed for each identified record R1. The circle CR is a circle centered on the installation position of the outdoor unit 3 recorded in the identified record R1. The size of the circle CR indicates the area that is deemed to have been sensed by the sensor unit 37.

[0083] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a specific example of the overlapping of circles CR. Fig. 8 shows the overlapping of circles CR on a portion of a map of an area of ​​radius α. In Fig. 8, thirteen circles CR, circles CR1 to CR13, are overlapped on this portion. That is, this indicates that there are thirteen outdoor units 3 transmitting the first detection data D1 in the portion of the map shown in Fig. 8.

[0084] When the creation unit 702 superimposes the circle CR on the map, it obtains the amount of airborne pollen for each superimposed circle CR from the first detection data D1 of the record R1 corresponding to the circle CR. Then, the creation unit 702 colors the superimposed circle CR based on the obtained amount of airborne pollen. In addition, the creation unit 702 colors the parts of the map where the circle CR is not superimposed in a fifth color.

[0085] In coloring the circles CR, the creation unit 702 specifies the level of the amount of airborne pollen based on the amount of airborne pollen acquired from the record R1 corresponding to the circle CR, and displays the color corresponding to the specified level for the portion where the circles CR do not overlap. Note that the level of airborne pollen is specified based on a threshold value set for each level. When coloring circles CR, the creation unit 702 calculates, for areas where circles CR overlap, the average of the pollen dispersion amounts obtained from records R1 corresponding to each of the overlapping circles CR, identifies the level of pollen dispersion amount corresponding to the calculated average, and displays the color corresponding to the identified level.

[0086] The coloring of the circle CR will be specifically described with reference to FIG. Fig. 9 is a diagram for explaining the coloring of the circle CR. In explaining the coloring using Fig. 9, in order to facilitate understanding of the coloring, the explanation will be given by focusing on the circles CR1, CR2, and CR3 among the circles CR shown in Fig. 8.

[0087] In Figure 9, the pollen dispersion amount obtained from record R1 corresponding to circle CR1 is A grains / m 3 In addition, in FIG. 9, the pollen dispersion amount obtained from the record R1 corresponding to the circle CR2 is B grains / m 3In addition, in FIG. 9, the pollen dispersion amount obtained from the record R1 corresponding to the circle CR3 is C grains / m 3 Let us assume that. Here, A pieces / m 3 is B pieces / m 3 This is a value larger than B pieces / m 3 is C pieces / m 3 is greater than

[0088] In Figure 9, A pieces / m 3 corresponds to the amount of scattering of level 4. In this case, the creation unit 702 displays an area CA1 of the circle CR1 where the circles CR2 and CR3 do not overlap in a fourth color.

[0089] In Figure 9, B pieces / m 3 corresponds to the amount of scattering of level 3. In this case, the creation unit 702 displays an area CA2 of the circle CR2 where the circles CR1 and CR3 do not overlap in a third color.

[0090] In Figure 9, C pieces / m 3 corresponds to the amount of scattering of level 1. In this case, the creation unit 702 displays an area CA3 of the circle CR3 where the circles CR1 and CR2 do not overlap in an eleventh color.

[0091] In Figure 9, A pieces / m 3 and B pieces / m 3 corresponds to the amount of scattering of level 4. In this case, the creation unit 702 displays, in the area of ​​the circle CR1, an area CA4 where the circles CR1 and CR2 overlap and the circles CR1 and CR3 do not overlap, in a fourth color.

[0092] In Figure 9, A pieces / m 3 and C pieces / m 3 corresponds to the amount of scattering of level 2. In this case, the creation unit 702 displays, in the area of ​​the circle CR1, an area CA5 where the circles CR1 and CR3 overlap and the circles CR1 and CR2 do not overlap, in the second color.

[0093] In Figure 9, B pieces / m3 and C pieces / m 3 corresponds to the amount of scattering of level 2. In this case, the creation unit 702 displays, in the area of ​​the circle CR2, an area CA6 where the circles CR2 and CR3 overlap and the circles CR1 and CR2 do not overlap, in the second color.

[0094] In Figure 9, A pieces / m 3 and B pieces / m 3 and C pieces / m 3 corresponds to the scattering amount of level 2. In this case, the creation unit 702 displays the area CA7 where the circles CR1, CR2, and CR3 overlap in the second color.

[0095] When the coloring is finished, the creation unit 702 ends the creation of the map MP showing the current pollen dispersion state. After creating the map MP showing the current pollen dispersion state, the creation unit 702 creates a map MP showing a prediction of the pollen dispersion state when N hours have passed from the present. Note that N is an integer of 1 or more, and is an integer between 1 and 6 in this embodiment.

[0096] The creation unit 702 communicates with the weather server 8 via the server communication unit 72. The creation unit 702 requests the weather server 8 for forecast information on wind speed and wind direction for the area indicated by the created map MP. When requesting the forecast information, the creation unit 702 transmits one or more pieces of location information (latitude, longitude and address) of the area indicated by the created map MP to the weather server 8. The creation unit 702 requests forecast information for N hours from the present to the weather server 8. When the creation unit 702 receives the forecast information from the weather server 8, it creates a map MP showing a forecast of the pollen dispersion situation based on the received forecast information.

[0097] The creation unit 702 creates a map MP showing a forecast of the pollen scattering situation one hour from now by referring to forecast information one hour from now and processing the map MP showing the current pollen scattering situation. For example, the creation unit 702 creates a map MP showing a forecast of the pollen scattering situation one hour from now by moving the pollen scattering situation in the direction indicated by the wind direction by a distance corresponding to the wind speed. Similarly, the creation unit 702 processes the map MP showing the predicted pollen dispersion conditions N-1 hours after the present by referring to the prediction information for the time N hours after the present, and creates a map MP showing the predicted pollen dispersion conditions N hours after the present.

[0098] Returning to the explanation of the functional units of the server processor 700, the notification information transmitting unit 703 communicates with the terminal device 6 via the server communication unit 72. The notification information transmitting unit 703 transmits notification information NJ to be notified to the user P to the terminal device 6. In this embodiment, the notification information NJ transmitted by the notification information transmitting unit 703 includes two types of information: recommendation information NJ1, execution mode recommendation information NJ2, and inquiry information NJ3. The recommendation information NJ1 is information recommending the execution of ventilation. The execution mode recommendation information NJ2 is information recommending the execution mode of ventilation. The inquiry information NJ3 is information inquiring about the start of operation of the air purifier 4.

[0099] The air purifier control unit 704 starts the operation of the air purifier 4. The air purifier control unit 704 communicates with the air purifier 4 via the server communication unit 72. The air purifier control unit 704 starts the operation of the air purifier 4 by transmitting, to the air purifier 4, operation start instruction information indicating an instruction to start operation.

[0100] [1-2. Operation] Next, the operation of each unit of data processing system 1000 will be described.

[0101] First, the operation relating to the display of the service UI 631 will be described with reference to FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the operations of the terminal device 6 and the service providing server 7. In this figure, a flowchart FA shows the operations of the terminal device 6, and a flowchart FB shows the operations of the service providing server 7.

[0102] The flow chart FA starts operation when the APP 611 is started. As shown in the flow chart FA, when the APP 611 is started, the terminal communication control unit 603 acquires a positioning result from the GNSS unit 64 (step SA1).

[0103] Next, the terminal communication control unit 603 transmits map request information to the service providing server 7 (step SA2). The map request information transmitted in step SA2 includes the positioning result of the GNSS unit 64 acquired in step SA1.

[0104] As shown in the flow chart FB, the creating unit 702 receives map request information from the terminal device 6 (step SB1).

[0105] Next, the creation unit 702 creates the map MP based on the map request information received in step SB1 as described above (step SB2). The map MP created in step SB2 is a map MP showing the current pollen dispersion situation and a map MP showing a forecast of the pollen dispersion situation after N hours have passed from the present.

[0106] Next, the creating unit 702 transmits response information indicating a response to the map request information to the terminal device 6 (step SB3). The response information transmitted in step SB3 includes the map MP created in step SB2.

[0107] As shown in the flowchart FA, the terminal communication control unit 603 receives response information from the service providing server 7 (step SA3).

[0108] Next, the display unit 601 displays the service UI 631 based on the response information received in step SA3 (step SA4). In the service UI 631 displayed in step SA4, the display area HA displays the map MP created in step SB2.

[0109] In this way, the pollen dispersion situation can be visualized by effectively utilizing multiple air conditioners 1. This allows the user P to easily understand what the outdoor pollen dispersion situation is. In addition, the service UI 631 can also display a forecast of the pollen dispersion situation, so the user P can take measures to avoid being affected by pollen as much as possible, such as the timing of hanging out laundry outside or going out shopping.

[0110] Next, with reference to FIG. 11, an operation relating to the notification of the notification information NJ will be described. 11 is a flowchart showing the operations of the service providing server 7 and the terminal device 6. In FIG.

[0111] The operation of the flowchart FC shown in FIG. 11 is executed for processing the record R1 in which the second detection data D2 has been updated.

[0112] The notification information transmitting unit 703 refers to the second sensing data D2 before the update and the second sensing data D2 after the update to determine whether or not the CO2 concentration has increased (step SC1).

[0113] When it is determined that the CO2 concentration has not increased (step SC1: NO), the notification information transmitting unit 703 ends this process.

[0114] On the other hand, when it is determined that the CO2 concentration has increased (step SC1: YES), the notification information transmitting unit 703 determines whether the CO2 concentration indicated by the updated second detection data D2 exceeds a predetermined threshold (step SC2). This predetermined threshold is determined in advance based on the necessity of transmitting the notification information NJ.

[0115] When it is determined that the CO2 concentration is equal to or lower than the predetermined threshold (step SC2: NO), the notification information transmitting unit 703 ends this process.

[0116] On the other hand, if it is determined that the CO2 concentration exceeds the predetermined threshold (step SC2: YES), the notification information transmitting unit 703 determines whether or not the amount of pollen scattered outdoors is high (step SC3). The amount of pollen dispersed that determines whether the amount of pollen dispersed is high or not is determined in advance through prior tests and simulations.

[0117] For example, the notification information sending unit 703 makes a positive determination in step SC3 if the amount of pollen indicated by the first detection data D1 of the record R1 to be processed is equal to or higher than level 2. The notification information sending unit 703 may also make a positive determination in step SC3 if the amount of pollen indicated by the first detection data D1 of the record R1 to be processed is equal to or higher than level 3. The notification information sending unit 703 may also make a positive determination in step SC3 if the amount of pollen indicated by the first detection data D1 of the record R1 to be processed is equal to or higher than level 4.

[0118] If it is determined that the amount of pollen dispersed is not large (step SC3: NO), the notification information transmitting unit 703 transmits the recommendation information NJ1 to the terminal device 6 (step SC4).

[0119] On the other hand, if it is determined that the amount of pollen flying is high (step SC3: YES), the notification information sending unit 703 determines whether the terminal device 6 to which the notification information NJ is to be sent is linked to the air purifier 4 (step SC5).

[0120] In step SC5, the notification information sending unit 703 identifies a record R3 having the air conditioner ID of the record R1 to be processed from the third management DB 714. Next, the notification information sending unit 703 determines whether or not an air purifier ID is recorded in the identified record R3. If an air purifier ID is recorded, the notification information sending unit 703 makes a positive determination in step SC5, and if an air purifier ID is not recorded, the notification information sending unit 703 makes a negative determination in step SC5.

[0121] When it is determined that there is no link with the air purifier 4 (step SC5: NO), the notification information transmitting unit 703 transmits the recommendation information NJ1 and the execution mode recommendation information NJ2 to the terminal device 6 (step SC6).

[0122] On the other hand, if it is determined that the air purifier 4 is linked (step SC5: YES), the notification information transmitting unit 703 determines whether the linked air purifier 4 is operating (step SC7).

[0123] In step SC7, the notification information sending unit 703 identifies record R2 having the air purifier ID of record R3 identified in the determination in step SC5 from the second management DB 713. Next, if the status data D3 of the identified record R2 indicates that the air purifier is operating, the notification information sending unit 703 makes a positive determination in step SC7, and if the status data D3 of the identified record R2 indicates that the air purifier is not operating, the notification information sending unit 703 makes a negative determination in step SC7.

[0124] If it is determined that the air purifier 4 is operating (step SC7: YES), the notification information transmitting section 703 performs the process of step SC6.

[0125] On the other hand, if it is determined that the air purifier 4 is not operating (step SC7: NO), the notification information transmitting unit 703 transmits the recommendation information NJ1 and the inquiry information NJ3 to the terminal device 6 (step SC7).

[0126] As shown in the flowchart FD, the terminal communication control unit 603 receives recommendation information NJ1, or the recommendation information NJ1 and execution mode recommendation information NJ2, or the recommendation information NJ1 and inquiry information NJ3 (step SD1).

[0127] Next, the display unit 601 notifies the user of the information received in step SD1 (step SD2).

[0128] Step SD2 will be described with reference to FIGS. When the recommended information NJ1 is received in step SD1, the display unit 601 notifies the user of the recommended information NJ1 by displaying a notification screen NG as shown in FIG.

[0129] FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a notification screen NG that displays the recommended information NJ1. In FIG. 12, the recommendation information NJ1 is a character string saying "Ventilation is recommended."

[0130] When the recommendation information NJ1 and the execution mode recommendation information NJ2 are received in step SD1, the display unit 601 notifies the user of the recommendation information NJ1 and the execution mode recommendation information NJ2 by ​​displaying a notification screen NG as shown in FIG.

[0131] FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a notification screen NG that displays the recommendation information NJ1 and the execution mode recommendation information NJ2. 13, the recommendation information NJ1 is a character string saying "Ventilation is recommended." Also, in FIG 13, the execution mode recommendation information NJ2 is a character string saying "Short-term ventilation is recommended."

[0132] When the recommended information NJ1 and the inquiry information NJ3 are received in step SD1, the display unit 601 notifies the recommended information NJ1 and the inquiry information NJ3 by displaying a notification screen NG as shown in FIG.

[0133] FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a notification screen NG that displays the recommended information NJ1 and the inquiry information NJ3. 14, the recommendation information NJ1 is a character string saying "Ventilation is recommended." Also, in Fig. 14, the inquiry information NJ3 is a character string saying "Should I turn on the air purifier?"

[0134] The notification screen NG displaying the inquiry information NJ3 has buttons B1 and B2 for inputting instructions for the inquiry indicated by the inquiry information NJ3. Button B1 is a software button for inputting an instruction to start the operation of the air purifier 4. Button B2 is a software button for inputting an instruction not to start the operation of the air purifier 4.

[0135] Next, with reference to FIG. 15, the operation of each unit of the data processing system 1000 when the terminal device 6 displays the inquiry information NJ3 will be described.

[0136] Fig. 15 is a flowchart showing the operations of the terminal device 6, the service providing server 7, and the air purifier 4. In Fig. 13, a flowchart FE shows the operations of the terminal device 6, a flowchart FF shows the operations of the service providing server 7, and a flowchart FG shows the operations of the air purifier 4.

[0137] As shown in flowchart FE, the terminal communication control unit 603 determines whether the receiving unit 602 has received an instruction to start operating the air purifier 4 or an instruction not to start operating the air purifier 4 (step SE1).

[0138] For example, when button B1 is operated, the terminal communication control unit 603 determines in step SE1 that the reception unit 602 has received an instruction to start the operation of the air purifier 4 (step SE1: instruction to start operation). Also, when button B2 is operated, the terminal communication control unit 603 determines in step SE1 that the reception unit 602 has received an instruction not to start the operation of the air purifier 4 (step SE1: instruction not to start operation).

[0139] If the terminal communication control unit 603 determines that the receiving unit 602 has received an instruction to start operating the air purifier 4 (step SE1: instruction to start operation), it transmits operation start request information to the service providing server 7 (step SE2). The operation start request information is information for requesting the start of operation of the air purifier 4, and has a user ID recorded therein. The user ID is stored in the terminal memory 610 in advance.

[0140] As shown in flow chart FF, the air purifier control unit 704 receives operation start request information from the terminal device 6 (step SF1).

[0141] Next, the air purifier control unit 704 transmits operation start instruction information to the air purifier 4 (step SF2).

[0142] Step SF2 will now be described in detail. The air purifier control unit 704 identifies record R3 of the user ID recorded in the operation start instruction information from the third management DB 714. Next, the air purifier control unit 704 identifies record R2 of the air purifier ID recorded in the identified record R3 from the second management DB 713. Next, the air purifier control unit 704 transmits operation start instruction information based on the air purifier communication information of the identified record R2.

[0143] As shown in flow chart FG, the air purifier communications control unit 401 receives operation start instruction information from the service providing server 7 (step SG1).

[0144] Next, the air purification execution unit 402 starts purification of the air by the air purification unit 43 (step SG2).

[0145] [1-3. Effects, etc.] As described above, the data processing system 1000 includes an acquisition unit 701 that acquires first detection data D1 of the sensor unit 37 of each of the multiple air conditioners 1, and a creation unit 702 that creates a map MP indicating the air quality of the area in which the multiple air conditioners 1 are installed, based on the first detection data D1 acquired by the acquisition unit 701. The sensor unit 37 detects the amount of pollen dispersed in the air.

[0146] This makes it possible to create a map MP that reflects the first detection data D1 acquired from multiple air conditioners 1. Therefore, multiple air conditioners 1 can be used effectively.

[0147] The data processing system 1000 includes a display unit 702 that displays the map MP created by the creation unit 702. The sensor unit 37 detects the amount of pollen scattered in the outdoor air. The creation unit 702 creates a map MP that shows the state of pollen scattering in the outdoor air.

[0148] This makes it possible to visualize the state of pollen dispersion in the outdoor air, so that anyone who sees the map MP can take measures against the state of pollen dispersion outdoors.

[0149] The creation unit 702 creates a map MP that indicates a prediction of the state of pollen dispersion in the outdoor air, based on predicted wind direction and wind speed information for an area in which multiple air conditioners 1 are installed.

[0150] This makes it possible to visualize how the pollen dispersion conditions in the outdoor air are changing, so that anyone who sees Map MP can take measures to deal with changes in the pollen dispersion conditions outdoors.

[0151] The data processing system 1000 includes a display unit 601 that notifies a user P of the air conditioner 1 of recommendation information NJ1 that recommends performing ventilation. The indoor unit 2 of the air conditioner 1 includes a CO2 sensor 25 that detects a CO2 concentration. When the CO2 concentration detected by the CO2 sensor 25 increases, the display unit 601 notifies the user P of the air conditioner 1 of execution mode recommendation information NJ2 that recommends an execution mode of ventilation together with the recommendation information NJ1 in accordance with the amount of pollen dispersed indicated by the first detection data D1 acquired by the acquisition unit 701.

[0152] According to this, when the CO2 concentration in the air-conditioned space S increases, the user P can easily understand what type of ventilation is suitable for the amount of pollen scattered outdoors. Therefore, when the CO2 concentration in the air-conditioned space S increases, the user P can ventilate while taking measures to avoid being affected by the pollen outdoors.

[0153] The data processing system 1000 includes a display unit 601 that notifies a user P of the air conditioner 1 of recommendation information NJ1 recommending the execution of ventilation, and an air purifier 4 installed in the conditioned space S of the air conditioner 1. The display unit 601 notifies, together with the recommendation information NJ1, inquiry information NJ3 inquiring about the start of operation of the air purifier 4 according to the amount of dispersed pollen indicated by the first detection data D1 acquired by the acquisition unit 701.

[0154] According to this, when the CO2 concentration in the conditioned space S rises, the user P of the air conditioner 1 can know whether or not it is necessary to start operating the air purifier 4 in addition to carrying out ventilation. Therefore, when the CO2 concentration in the conditioned space S rises, the user P can carry out ventilation while taking measures to avoid being affected by pollen outdoors.

[0155] The data processing system 1000 includes an air purifier control unit 704 that starts the operation of the air purifier 4 when an instruction to start the operation of the air purifier 4 is given in response to the inquiry information NJ3 notified by the display unit 601.

[0156] According to this, the user P can start the operation of the air purifier 4 at a position away from the air purifier 4, and therefore does not have to go close to the air purifier 4 and turn on the power of the air purifier 4. Therefore, when the CO2 concentration in the conditioned space S increases, the user P can take measures to avoid being affected by outdoor pollen without much effort.

[0157] In the control method of the data processing system 1000, the server control device 71 acquires first detection data D1 of the sensor unit 37 of each of the multiple air conditioners 1, and creates a map MP indicating the air quality of the area in which the multiple air conditioners 1 are installed, based on the acquired first detection data D1. The sensor unit 37 detects the amount of pollen dispersed in the air.

[0158] According to this, the same effects as those of the data processing system 1000 described above can be achieved.

[0159] The server control device 71 includes an acquisition unit 701 that acquires first detection data D1 of the sensor unit 37 of each of the multiple air conditioners 1, and a creation unit 702 that creates a map MP indicating the air quality of the area in which the multiple air conditioners 1 are installed, based on the first detection data D1 acquired by the acquisition unit 701. The sensor unit 37 detects the amount of pollen dispersed in the air.

[0160] According to this, the same effects as those of the data processing system 1000 described above can be achieved.

[0161] The control program 711 causes the server control device 71 to function as an acquisition unit 701 that acquires first detection data D1 of the sensor unit 37 of each of the multiple air conditioners 1, and a creation unit 702 that creates a map MP indicating the air quality of the area in which the multiple air conditioners 1 are installed, based on the first detection data D1 acquired by the acquisition unit 701. The sensor unit 37 detects the amount of pollen dispersed in the air.

[0162] According to this, the same effects as those of the data processing system 1000 described above can be achieved.

[0163] (Embodiment 2) Next, a second embodiment will be described. [2-1. Configuration] Regarding the configuration of each part of data processing system 1000 in the second embodiment, detailed description of the configuration similar to the configuration of each part of data processing system 1000 in the first embodiment will be omitted as appropriate.

[0164] First, the configuration of the first embodiment that is not essential to the second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, the data processing system 1000 does not have to include an air purifier 4. Also, in the second embodiment, the air conditioner 1 does not have to include a CO2 sensor 25. Also, in the second embodiment, the indoor unit 2 may include a sensor unit 37. If the sensor unit 37 is installed in the indoor unit 2, in the second embodiment, the installation location of the outdoor unit in record R1 may be the installation location of the indoor unit 2 (for example, latitude and longitude or address). Furthermore, in the second embodiment, the server memory 710 does not have to store the second management DB 713 and the third management DB 714. Furthermore, in the second embodiment, the second sensed data D2 does not have to be recorded in the record R1. Furthermore, in the second embodiment, the server processor 700 does not have to function as the notification information transmission unit 703 and the air purifier control unit 704.

[0165] Next, differences between the second embodiment and the first embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, it is assumed that the user P is a manager of a facility, a shopping mall, etc. Examples of the facility include a commercial facility and a station.

[0166] Furthermore, in the second embodiment, the creation unit 702 creates a map MP that indicates the odor intensity of the air in an area where multiple air conditioners 1 are installed. Therefore, in the second embodiment, the detection target of the sensor unit 37 is at least the odor intensity of the air. Therefore, the sensor unit 37 of this embodiment is equipped with an odor sensor that detects at least the odor intensity of the air, periodically detects the odor intensity of the air, and outputs first detection data D1 that indicates the detection result.

[0167] The creation unit 702 of this embodiment creates the map MP in the same manner as in the first embodiment. The creation unit 702 of this embodiment may create a map MP showing a map of a narrower area than that of the first embodiment. The creation unit 702 of this embodiment may create the map MP based on a position specified by the user P (for example, the position of a facility or the position of the entrance to a shopping arcade) rather than the current position of the terminal device 6. In this embodiment, the size of the circle CR that is considered to have been sensed by the sensor unit 37 may be narrower than that of the first embodiment.

[0168] The service UI 631 in the second embodiment displays a map MP showing the odor intensity in the air in the display area HA. ​​This map MP shows the odor intensity in a map of a specific area with a color according to the level. Note that, similarly in this embodiment, the scale and display area of ​​the map of a specific area shown by the map MP can be changed by the user P's operation after the service UI 631 starts displaying. Furthermore, the service UI 631 in the second embodiment displays correspondence information CJ. The correspondence information CJ in the present embodiment indicates the correspondence between the odor intensity level and the color corresponding to the level.

[0169] In the service UI 631 in the second embodiment, the current position mark MK, the mark explicit information MJ, the time information TJ, and the slider SR do not necessarily have to be displayed.

[0170] [2-2. Operation] Each unit of the data processing system 1000 in this embodiment executes the same operation as in the first embodiment with respect to displaying the service UI 631. However, each unit of the data processing system 1000 in this embodiment does not execute an operation related to the notification information NJ.

[0171] [2-3. Effects, etc.] The data processing system 1000 includes a display unit 601 that outputs the map MP created by the creation unit 702. The sensor unit 37 detects the odor intensity of the air. The creation unit 702 creates a map MP that indicates the odor intensity of the air in an area where multiple air conditioners 1 are installed.

[0172] This allows the intensity of odor in the air to be visualized, so that anyone who views the map MP can take measures against the odor in the air. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the person who views the map MP is an administrator. For example, if the odor intensity at the entrance / exit of a facility is strong, the administrator can take measures such as inspecting, repairing, and installing ventilation equipment at the entrance / exit of the facility under management by looking at the map MP. Also, if the odor intensity at the entrance / exit of a facility is strong, the administrator can take measures against other causes such as sewage or garbage by looking at the map MP, provided that there is no store at the entrance / exit of the facility under management that is causing the strong odor.

[0173] (Embodiment 3) Next, a third embodiment will be described.

[0174] [3-1. Configuration] Regarding the configuration of each part of the data processing system 1000 in the third embodiment, detailed description of the configuration similar to the configuration of each part of the data processing system 1000 in the first embodiment will be omitted as appropriate.

[0175] First, the configuration of the first embodiment that is not essential to the third embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment, the data processing system 1000 does not necessarily have to include the air purifier 4. Moreover, in the third embodiment, the air conditioner 1 does not necessarily have to include the CO2 sensor 25. Furthermore, in the third embodiment, the server memory 710 does not have to store the second management DB 713 and the third management DB 714. Furthermore, in the third embodiment, the second sensed data D2 does not have to be recorded in the record R1. Furthermore, in the third embodiment, the server processor 700 does not have to function as the notification information transmission unit 703 and the air purifier control unit 704.

[0176] Next, differences between the third embodiment and the first embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment, it is assumed that the user P is a person related to a local government.

[0177] Furthermore, in the third embodiment, the creation unit 702 creates a map MP indicating the temperature and humidity in an area where multiple air conditioners 1 are installed. Therefore, in the third embodiment, the detection targets of the sensor unit 37 are at least the temperature and humidity. Thus, the sensor unit 37 of this embodiment includes at least a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor, periodically detects the temperature and humidity, and outputs first detection data D1 indicating the detection results.

[0178] The creation unit 702 of this embodiment creates the map MP in the same manner as in the first embodiment. The creation unit 702 of this embodiment may create the map MP showing a map of a narrower or wider area than that of the first embodiment. The creation unit 702 of this embodiment may create the map MP based on a location specified by the user P (for example, a predetermined location in an area where a local government official processes public affairs or provides services) instead of the current location of the terminal device 6. In this embodiment, the size of the circle CR that is deemed to have been sensed by the sensor unit 37 may be narrower or wider than that of the first embodiment.

[0179] The service UI 631 in the third embodiment displays a map MP indicating temperature in a display area HA. ​​This map MP indicates the temperature on a map of a predetermined area by using colors according to the temperature level. Furthermore, the service UI 631 in the third embodiment displays a map MP indicating humidity in the display area HA. ​​This map MP indicates humidity on a map of a predetermined area by using colors according to the humidity level. The service UI 631 in the third embodiment may display a map MP indicating temperature and a map MP indicating humidity side by side in the display area HA, or may display them in a switchable manner using tabs or software buttons.

[0180] Similarly in this embodiment, the scale and display area of ​​the map of a predetermined area shown by the map MP can be changed by an operation of the user P after the service UI 631 starts to be displayed.

[0181] The service UI 631 in the third embodiment displays two pieces of correspondence information CJ. The first piece of correspondence information CJ indicates the correspondence between the temperature level and the color corresponding to the level. The second piece of correspondence information CJ indicates the correspondence between the humidity level and the color corresponding to the level.

[0182] In the service UI 631 according to the third embodiment, the current position mark MK, the mark explicit information MJ, the time information TJ, and the slider SR do not necessarily have to be displayed.

[0183] [3-2. Operation] Each unit of the data processing system 1000 in this embodiment executes the same operation as in the first embodiment with respect to displaying the service UI 631. However, each unit of the data processing system 1000 in this embodiment does not execute an operation related to the notification information NJ.

[0184] [3-3. Effects, etc.] The data processing system 1000 includes a display unit 601 that outputs the map MP created by the creation unit 702. The sensor unit 37 detects the outdoor temperature and outdoor humidity. The creation unit 702 creates a map MP that indicates the outdoor temperature in an area where multiple air conditioners 1 are installed, and a map MP that indicates the outdoor humidity in the area.

[0185] This allows the outdoor temperature and humidity to be visualized, so that anyone who sees the map MP can take measures against the outdoor temperature and humidity. In this embodiment, it is assumed that those who see the map MP are local government officials. For example, local government officials can issue warnings about heatstroke and take measures (such as increasing the number of roadside trees).

[0186] (Other embodiments) As described above, the above-mentioned first, second and third embodiments have been described as examples disclosed in the present application. However, the technology in the present disclosure is not limited to these, and can be applied to embodiments in which modifications, substitutions, additions, omissions and the like are made. In addition, it is also possible to combine the components described in the above-mentioned first, second and third embodiments to form new embodiments. Therefore, other embodiments will be exemplified below.

[0187] In the above-described first embodiment, pollen is exemplified as the "fine particles." In other embodiments related to the first embodiment, the "fine particles" may be other fine particles such as PM2.5, yellow sand, and allergens.

[0188] In the embodiment described above, the amount of pollen dispersed, odor intensity, temperature, and humidity are color-coded in four levels, but the number of levels for color coding may be three or less or five or more.

[0189] In the embodiment described above, the map MP is created with a circular shape as the area that is deemed to have been sensed by the sensor unit 37. In other embodiments, the map MP may be created with a shape other than a circular shape as the area that is deemed to have been sensed by the sensor unit 37. An example of a shape other than a circular shape is a rectangle.

[0190] In other embodiments, the radius β of the circle CR may vary depending on the region depicted by the map on which the circle CR is superimposed.

[0191] In the embodiment described above, the map MP shows an area of ​​radius α centered on the current location of the terminal device 6 or a location specified by the user P. In other embodiments, this radius α may differ depending on the region shown on the map.

[0192] In the above-described embodiment, the recommended information NJ1 and the like are transmitted to the terminal device 6 regardless of whether the user P is in the facility H. In another embodiment, the service providing server 7 may determine whether the terminal device 6 is located at a position previously registered as the facility H, and if the determination is affirmative, the service providing server 7 may transmit the recommended information NJ1 and the like to the terminal device 6, and if the determination is negative, the service providing server 7 may not transmit the recommended information NJ1 and the like to the terminal device 6. In another embodiment, when the terminal device 6 receives the recommended information NJ1 and the like from the service providing server 7, the terminal device 6 may determine whether the terminal device 6 is located at a position previously registered as the facility H, and if the terminal device 6 is determined to be located, the terminal device 6 may perform the notification of step SD2, and if the terminal device 6 is determined to be not located, the terminal device 6 may not perform the notification of step SD2.

[0193] In another embodiment, when the air conditioner 1 has a ventilation function, the sensor unit 37 may be provided in the indoor unit 2. In this other embodiment, the sensor unit 37 of the indoor unit 2 may sense the outside air supplied to the indoor unit 2 from the outdoor unit 3. Note that in this other embodiment, it is preferable to provide the sensor unit 37 near the outlet of a hose through which the outside air taken in by the indoor unit 3 is supplied to the indoor unit 2.

[0194] In the above-mentioned embodiment 1, a map MP showing the state of pollen dispersion is displayed, in the above-mentioned embodiment 2, a map MP showing the intensity of odor in the air is displayed, and in the above-mentioned embodiment 3, a map MP showing temperature and a map MP showing humidity are displayed. In other embodiments, the service UI 631 may be configured to switch between a map MP showing the state of pollen dispersion, a map MP showing the intensity of odor in the air, a map MP showing temperature, and a map MP showing humidity. In this other embodiment, the service UI 631 is provided with a tab or a selection switch for switching the type of map MP. In addition, in this other embodiment, the sensor unit 37 detects the amount of pollen dispersion in the air, the intensity of odor in the air, the temperature, and the humidity.

[0195] In the above-mentioned embodiment 1, the map MP showing the scattering state of pollen is displayed. In other embodiments, the service UI 631 may display one or more maps MP showing other air qualities in addition to the map MP showing the scattering state of pollen. Examples of the map MP showing other air qualities include a map MP showing the scattering state of other fine particles such as PM2.5, a map MP showing the odor intensity of the air, a map MP showing temperature, and a map MP showing humidity. In this other embodiment, the service UI 631 is provided with a tab or a selection switch for switching the type of map MP. In addition, in this other embodiment, the sensor unit 37 detects elements necessary for creating the map MP in addition to the amount of scattering of pollen in the air. The same is true for other embodiments related to the second and third embodiments described above, and maps MP showing other air qualities may be displayed.

[0196] In another embodiment, the sensor units 37 may be provided in both the indoor unit 2 and the outdoor unit 3, and the data processing system 1000 may compare the outdoor air quality with the air quality of the air-conditioned space S and provide the user P with a service based on the comparison result. For example, the sensor units 37 may detect temperature and humidity, and the service providing server 7 may obtain first detection data D1 from both sensor units 37 and compare the detection results of the first detection data D1. Then, based on the comparison of the detection results, the service providing server 7 may suggest to the user P whether to condition the air-conditioned space S with the air conditioner 1 or to open a window to take in outside air into the air-conditioned space S.

[0197] In another embodiment, at least one of the functions of the acquisition unit 701 and the creation unit 702 may be executed by the terminal control unit 61 instead of the server control unit 71. In this other embodiment, the terminal control unit 61 corresponds to the "computer". In this other embodiment, a program for realizing at least one of the functions of the acquisition unit 701 and the creation unit 702 and executed by the terminal processor 600 corresponds to the "program". This program may be a program incorporated in the APP 611.

[0198] In the above embodiment, the display unit 601 is exemplified as the "output unit" and the map MP is displayed. In other embodiments, the "output unit" may be a printing device or the like.

[0199] In the above-described embodiment, the display unit 601 is exemplified as the "notification unit", and a configuration in which the notification information NJ is notified by display is exemplified. In other embodiments, the notification form of the notification information NJ may be other forms such as audio output instead of display. For example, when the notification form of the notification information NJ is audio output, the terminal processor 600 further functions as a notification unit that notifies the notification information NJ by audio through the function of the APP 611.

[0200] The indoor unit processor 200, the air purifier processor 400, the terminal processor 600, and the server processor 700 may be configured by a single processor or by multiple processors. These processors may be hardware programmed to realize the corresponding functional units. In other words, these processors may be configured by, for example, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).

[0201] The configurations of the components of the data processing system 1000 shown in Figures 2, 3, 4, and 7 are merely examples, and the specific implementation form is not particularly limited. In other words, it is not necessary to implement hardware that corresponds to each component individually, and it is also possible to implement a configuration in which one processor executes a program to realize the functions of each component. Also, some of the functions realized by software in the above-mentioned embodiments may be implemented by hardware, or some of the functions realized by hardware may be implemented by software.

[0202] The step units of the operations shown in Figures 10, 11, and 15 are divided according to the main processing contents in order to make the operations easier to understand, and the operation is not limited by the way in which the processing units are divided or the names of the processing units. The operations may be divided into more step units according to the processing contents. Furthermore, one step unit may be divided so as to include more processing. Furthermore, the order of the steps may be appropriately changed within a range that does not interfere with the purpose of this disclosure.

[0203] It should be noted that the above-described embodiments are intended to illustrate the technology of the present disclosure, and various modifications, substitutions, additions, omissions, and the like can be made within the scope of the claims or their equivalents.
