[0013] Example 1 Before describing the specific embodiments of the present disclosure, an overview of the embodiments will be described. The present embodiment relates to an air conditioning system that is installed in a facility such as a house and performs central air conditioning for the facility. As described above, in order to perform air conditioning control efficiently, air conditioning control according to the behavior of the occupants is required. The air conditioning system according to this embodiment predicts the behavioral patterns of the residents from the humidity measurements taken in each room, and performs air conditioning control in advance for the destination room before the resident moves in. In the following description, air volume refers to the air volume per unit time, for example, per hour.

[0014] The examples described below each show a preferred specific example of the present disclosure. Therefore, the numerical values, shapes, materials, components, the arrangement and connection of the components, as well as the steps (processes) and the order of the steps shown in the following examples are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Therefore, among the components in the following examples, those components that are not described in the independent claims showing the highest concept of the present disclosure are described as optional components. In addition, in each figure, the same reference numerals are given to substantially the same configurations, and duplicated descriptions are omitted or simplified.

[0015] FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a house 100. An air conditioning system including a ventilator 20, an air conditioner 30, and a control device 40 is arranged in the house 100. The air conditioning system is also called a ventilation control system, a ventilation system, or a central air conditioning system. The house 100 includes a first area 10a and a second area 10b collectively referred to as an area 10. The area 10 is, for example, a room, a living room, a dining room, or a kitchen. The number of areas 10 included in the house 100 is not limited to "2", and the house 100 may be a facility including a non-residential building.

[0016] An outside air inlet (not shown) is installed on the exterior wall of the house 100. An outside air duct 50 extends from the outside air inlet toward the inside of the house 100. The outside air duct 50 is also called an outside air introduction duct. The outside air duct 50 is connected to the ventilation device 20. An outside air introduction fan (not shown) is installed in the ventilation device 20, and the outside air 60 is taken in from the outside air inlet by the rotation of the outside air introduction fan, and the outside air 60 flows into the ventilation device 20 through the outside air duct 50. The outside air duct 50 further extends from the ventilation device 20 and is connected to a first circulation duct 54a, and causes the outside air 60 from the ventilation device 20 to flow into the first circulation duct 54a.

[0017] An exhaust air duct 52 is also connected to the ventilation device 20. The exhaust air duct 52 is also called an exhaust duct. The exhaust air duct 52 extends from each area 10 toward the outer wall of the house 100 via the ventilation device 20. An exhaust port (not shown) is provided on the outer wall of the house 100, and the exhaust air duct 52 is connected to the exhaust port. The ventilation device 20 exhausts exhaust air 62 from the exhaust port through the exhaust air duct 52 by rotating an exhaust fan (not shown). In this manner, the exhaust air duct 52 collects the exhaust air 62 from the first area 10a and the second area 10b, and exhausts the exhaust air 62 to the outdoors from one exhaust port. As a result, the ventilation device 20 ventilates the first area 10a and the second area 10b, which are different from each other, and the air inside and outside the area 10 is exchanged. Heat exchange may be performed in the ventilation device 20.

[0018] Inside the house 100, a first circulation air duct 54a extending from each area 10 to the air conditioner 30 and a second circulation air duct 54b extending from the air conditioner 30 to each area 10 are installed. The first circulation air duct 54a is also called a return air duct, and the second circulation air duct 54b is also called an intake air duct. The air duct connecting the first circulation air duct 54a and the second circulation air duct 54b is configured in a ring shape. The first circulation air duct 54a and the second circulation air duct 54b are collectively called the circulation air duct 54. Return air 64 from each area 10 flows into the first circulation air duct 54a. As described above, since the first circulation air duct 54a is connected to the outdoor air duct 50, the return air 64 is mixed with the outdoor air 60.

[0019] A mixture of return air 64 and outside air 60 flows into the air conditioner 30 from the first circulation air duct 54a. The air conditioner 32 of the air conditioner 30 controls the conditioning of the mixture of return air 64 and outside air 60. The air conditioner 32 cools or heats the mixture of return air 64 and outside air 60 so that the air temperature becomes a set target temperature. The target temperature is set by the control device 40. The air conditioner 32 may have a humidification and dehumidification function.

[0020] Air from the air conditioner 32 flows into a HEPA filter (High Efficiency Particulate Air) 34. The HEPA filter 34 is an air filter that removes dirt, dust, and the like from the air conditioned by the air conditioner 32 and outputs purified air. The air that has passed through the HEPA filter 34 is output as air from the air conditioner 30 by a blower (not shown) included in the air conditioner 30. The air volume of the blower can be controlled by a control device 40 described below.

[0021] In order for the air conditioner 30 to control the temperature in the first area 10a and the second area 10b, the second circulation air duct 54b is connected to the air conditioner 30. The second circulation air duct 54b extends to the first area 10a and the second area 10b. An air outlet (not shown) is provided in each of the first area 10a and the second area 10b, and each air outlet is connected to the second circulation air duct 54b. The supply air 66 output from the air conditioner 30 passes through the second circulation air duct 54b and is blown out from the air outlet to the area 10. A first damper 12a is installed at the air outlet of the first area 10a, and a second damper 12b is installed at the air outlet of the second area 10b. The first damper 12a and the second damper 12b are collectively referred to as damper 12, and the damper 12 adjusts the opening degree to adjust the air volume of the supply air 66 blown out from the air outlet to the area 10. The opening degrees of the first damper 12a and the second damper 12b are controlled by a control device 40.

[0022] An intake port (not shown) is provided in each of the first area 10a and the second area 10b, and each intake port is connected to the first circulation air duct 54a. By operation of the air conditioner 30, the return air 64 from each area 10 flows into the first circulation air duct 54a from the intake port. Subsequently, the return air 64 is sucked into the air conditioner 30 through the first circulation air duct 54a as described above. In other words, the circulation air duct 54 allows the air conditioner 30 to suck in the air in the area 10, purify it with the HEPA filter 34, and then blow it out into the area 10 to circulate it.

[0023] A first humidity sensor 76a is installed in the first region 10a. The first humidity sensor 76a is a sensor for detecting the humidity in the first area 10a. The first humidity sensor 76a has a communication function such as wireless communication, and transmits the detected humidity (hereinafter referred to as the "first humidity measurement value") to the control device 40. The second humidity sensor 76b is installed in the second area 10b. The second humidity sensor 76b is a sensor for detecting the humidity in the second area 10b. The second humidity sensor 76b has a communication function such as wireless communication, and transmits the detected humidity (hereinafter referred to as the "second humidity measurement value") to the control device 40. The first humidity sensor 76a and the second humidity sensor 76b are collectively referred to as the humidity sensor 76, and the first humidity measurement value and the second humidity measurement value are collectively referred to as the humidity measurement value.

[0024] The control device 40 is a system controller that controls the entire air conditioning system. The control device 40 includes an IF unit 42, a control unit 44, and a storage unit 46. The IF unit 42 is communicatively connected to the damper 12, the ventilator 20, the air conditioner 30, and the humidity sensor 76 via wireless communication. By connecting via wireless communication, complicated wiring work is not required. However, at least some of these may be communicatively connected via wired communication. The IF unit 42 receives a first humidity measurement value from the first humidity sensor 76a and a second humidity measurement value from the second humidity sensor 76b.

[0025] The control unit 44 stores the first humidity measurement value and the second humidity measurement value in the memory unit 46. The memory unit 46 accumulates first time-series humidity data in which the first humidity measurement values ​​are arranged in a chronological order, and second time-series humidity data in which the second humidity measurement values ​​are arranged in a chronological order. The control unit 44 derives a related life pattern of the first area 10a and the second area 10b based on the first time-series humidity data and the second time-series humidity data stored in the memory unit 46. Figures 2(a)-(b) show an overview of the control in the control device 40. Figure 2(a) shows the first time-series humidity data, and Figure 2(b) shows the second time-series humidity data. In these figures, the horizontal axis shows time and the vertical axis shows humidity. If the first area 10a is a kitchen and the second area 10b is a dressing room, the humidity increases at time T1 due to cooking, and increases at time T2, which is later than time T1, due to bathing.

[0026] When a pattern appears over multiple days in the first and second time-series humidity data, in which the first humidity measurement value increases at time T1' near time T1 and then the second humidity measurement value increases at time T2' near time T2, the control unit 44 identifies this as a lifestyle pattern. Time T1' is a time included in a predetermined range (hereinafter referred to as the "first range") from time T1, and time T2' is a time included in a predetermined range (hereinafter referred to as the "second range") from time T2. In this case, the control unit 44 identifies a time period (hereinafter referred to as the "trigger time period") included in the first range for time T1, and a time difference (hereinafter referred to as the "associated time difference") between time T2 and time T1. Here, the associated time difference may be a time difference derived based on the time difference between time T2 and time T1, for example, a time difference obtained by statistically processing the time difference between time T2 and time T1, or a time difference obtained by subtracting a certain value from the statistically processed time difference.

[0027] After deriving the lifestyle pattern, the control unit 44 identifies the occurrence of the lifestyle pattern when the received first humidity measurement value is included in the trigger time period. In this case, the control unit 44 executes air conditioning control for the second area 10b at a time when the relevant time has elapsed from the time when the increase was detected. For example, when the second area 10b is a dressing room, the second damper 12b is opened to allow the supply air 66 warmed by the air conditioner 30 to flow into the second area 10b. In this way, the control unit 44 instructs the air conditioner 30 to control the temperature of the second area 10b in accordance with the humidity change that occurs in the first area 10a based on the derived lifestyle pattern.

[0028] To execute air conditioning control, the control unit 44 outputs a control signal to the IF unit 42 to instruct the air volume of the air conditioner 30 and the opening degree of the damper 12. The IF unit 42 transmits the control signal to the air conditioner 30 and the damper 12. The cause of the humidity change is not limited to the above. For example, it may be a person entering the room, laundry, etc. Furthermore, the derivation of the lifestyle pattern and the identification of the occurrence of the lifestyle pattern are not limited to the above, and machine learning such as a neural network may be used. good.

[0029] The subject of the device, system, or method in the present disclosure includes a computer. The computer executes a program to realize the function of the subject of the device, system, or method in the present disclosure. The computer includes a processor that operates according to a program as a main hardware configuration. The type of the processor does not matter as long as it can realize the function by executing the program. The processor is composed of one or more electronic circuits including a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) or an LSI (Large Scale Integration). The multiple electronic circuits may be integrated into one chip or may be provided on multiple chips. The multiple chips may be integrated into one device or may be provided on multiple devices. The program is recorded on a non-transitory recording medium such as a computer-readable ROM, an optical disk, or a hard disk drive. The program may be stored in the recording medium in advance, or may be supplied to the recording medium via a wide area communication network including the Internet.

[0030] According to this embodiment, the air conditioning device 30 controls the temperature of the second area 10b in accordance with the humidity change that occurs in the first area 10a based on the life pattern derived based on the first time-series humidity data and the second time-series humidity data, so that the temperature of the second area 10b can be appropriately controlled. In addition, since the temperature of the second area 10b is appropriately controlled, the temperature control for the second area 10b can be stopped when there is no resident in the second area 10b. In addition, since the temperature of the second area 10b is appropriately controlled, the temperature of the second area 10b can be controlled before the resident moves to the second area 10b. In addition, since the temperature of the second area 10b is appropriately controlled, air conditioning control can be performed efficiently.

[0031] An overview of one aspect of the present disclosure is as follows: An air conditioning control system according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes an air conditioner (30) that controls temperatures for a first area (10a) and a second area (10b) that are different from each other, a first humidity sensor (76a) that measures the humidity in the first area (10a), a second humidity sensor (76b) that measures the humidity in the second area (10b), a storage device (46) that accumulates first time-series humidity data in which humidity measurement values ​​output by the first humidity sensor (76a) are arranged in chronological order, and second time-series humidity data in which humidity measurement values ​​output by the second humidity sensor (76b) are arranged in chronological order, and a control device (40) connected to the storage device (46) that controls operation of the air conditioner (30). The control device (40) derives a lifestyle pattern relating to the first area (10a) and the second area (10b) based on the first time-series humidity data and the second time-series humidity data stored in the storage device (46), and controls the temperature of the second area (10b) by the air conditioner (30) in accordance with the derived lifestyle pattern and in response to humidity changes occurring in the first area (10a).

[0032] Example 2 Next, a second embodiment will be described. As with the first embodiment, the second embodiment relates to an air conditioning system that performs central air conditioning for a facility. In the first embodiment, humidity measurement values ​​are used to derive the resident's life pattern and identify occurrence. On the other hand, in the embodiment, temperature measurement values ​​or CO2 concentration measurement values ​​are used to derive the resident's life pattern and identify occurrence. The following description will focus on the differences from the first embodiment.

[0033] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the house 100. FIG. 3 is illustrated in the same manner as FIG. 1. A first temperature sensor 74a is installed in the first area 10a.

The first temperature sensor 74a and the second temperature sensor 74b are collectively referred to as the temperature sensor 74, and the first temperature measurement value and the second temperature measurement value are collectively referred to as the temperature measurement value.

[0034] The IF unit 42 of the control device 40 receives the first temperature measurement value from the first temperature sensor 74a and receives the second temperature measurement value from the second temperature sensor 74b. The control unit 44 stores the first temperature measurement value and the second temperature measurement value in the memory unit 46. The memory unit 46 accumulates first time-series temperature data in which the temperature measurement values ​​are arranged in a chronological order, and second time-series temperature data in which the temperature measurement values ​​are arranged in a chronological order. The control unit 44 derives a lifestyle pattern related to the first area 10a and the second area 10b based on the first time-series temperature data and the second time-series temperature data stored in the memory unit 46. The lifestyle pattern may be derived in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Here, the cause of the temperature change is, for example, a change in the location of a person and opening and closing of a window.

[0035] After deriving the lifestyle pattern, the control unit 44 identifies the occurrence of the lifestyle pattern when the received first temperature measurement value is included in the trigger time period. At that time, the control unit 44 executes air conditioning control for the second area 10b at a time when the relevant time has elapsed from the time when the increase was detected. In this way, the control unit 44 instructs the air conditioner 30 to control the temperature of the second area 10b in response to the temperature change that occurred in the first area 10a based on the derived lifestyle pattern.

[0036] FIG. 4 shows another configuration of the house 100. FIG. 4 is shown similarly to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3. A first CO2 sensor 72a is installed in the first area 10a. The first CO2 sensor 72a is a sensor for detecting the CO2 concentration in the first area 10a. The first CO2 sensor 72a has a communication function such as wireless communication, and transmits the detected CO2 concentration (hereinafter referred to as the "first CO2 measurement value") to the control device 40. A second CO2 sensor 72b is installed in the second area 10b. The second CO2 sensor 72b is a sensor for detecting the CO2 concentration in the second area 10b.

The control unit 44 derives a life pattern related to the first area 10a and the second area 10b based on the first time-series CO2 data and the second time-series CO2 data stored in the memory unit 46. The life pattern may be derived in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

[0038] After deriving the lifestyle pattern, the control unit 44 identifies the occurrence of the lifestyle pattern when the received first CO2 measurement value is included in the trigger time period. At that time, the control unit 44 executes air conditioning control for the second area 10b at a time when the relevant time has elapsed from the time when the increase was detected. In this way, the control unit 44 instructs the air conditioner 30 to control the temperature of the second area 10b in accordance with the change in CO2 concentration that occurred in the first area 10a based on the derived lifestyle pattern.

[0039] According to this embodiment, the air conditioner 30 controls the temperature of the second area 10b in response to temperature changes that occur in the first area 10a based on a lifestyle pattern derived from the first time-series temperature data and the second time-series temperature data, so that the temperature of the second area 10b can be appropriately controlled. Also, the air conditioner 30 controls the temperature of the second area 10b in response to CO2 concentration changes that occur in the first area 10a based on a lifestyle pattern derived from the first time-series CO2 data and the second time-series CO2 data. Since the temperature of the second region 10b is controlled by the addition device 30, the temperature of the second region 10b can be appropriately controlled.
