Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a building interior environment control system, an environmental sensor selection device, an environmental sensor selection method, and a program.

Background Art

[0002] When a plurality of environmental sensors are arranged in a building and a plurality of devices that operate based on environmental information detected by the environmental sensors are arranged in the building, it is necessary to determine in advance which environmental sensor's detected environmental information each device operates based on. When this work is done manually, the work becomes a laborious and complicated task.

[0003] Patent Document 1 describes that devices are arranged at set positions according to a floor plan of a building in which the set positions are described. In the technology described in Patent Document 1, a plurality of devices (such as air conditioners, lighting, water heaters, etc.) are arranged in a house, and a plurality of sensors equal in number to the plurality of devices are arranged in the house. Also, a plurality of sensors are pre-associated with a plurality of devices on a one-to-one basis, and each sensor measures the energy consumption of each device. By the way, Patent Document 1 does not describe how to associate a plurality of sensors with a plurality of devices. If the association work is done manually, the work becomes a laborious and complicated task.

[0004] Patent Document 2 describes a measuring device that measures a relative positional relationship. In the technology described in Patent Document 2, a plurality of measuring devices perform wireless communication with each other and measure received radio wave intensities. Patent Document 2 describes that the positional relationship of a plurality of measuring devices can be grasped. By the way, although Patent Document 2 describes a method for grasping the positional relationship of a plurality of measuring devices, it does not describe a method for associating a plurality of environmental sensors used in a building with a plurality of devices. Therefore, even with the technology described in Patent Document 2, a plurality of environmental sensors and a plurality of devices cannot be easily associated.

[0024] FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an example of a method for selecting an environmental sensor by the environmental sensor selection unit 1I21 of the environmental sensor selection device 1I. In the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, based on the drawing information of the building BD acquired by the drawing information acquisition unit 1I11, the environmental sensor selection unit 1I21 selects, as the environmental sensor for the first device that detects the environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 1D2 of the first device 1D, the environmental sensor having the smallest straight-line distance from the first device 1D among the first environmental sensor 1A, the second environmental sensor 1B, and the third environmental sensor 1C.

Specifically, the environmental sensor selection unit 1I21 selects the first environmental sensor 1A as the environmental sensor for the second device that detects the environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 1E2 of the second device 1E. As a result, the control unit 1E3 of the second device 1E (electric shutter) controls the operation unit 1E2 based on the environmental information (illuminance information) detected by the first environmental sensor 1A.

As the environmental sensor for the fifth device, the environmental sensor having the smallest straight-line distance from the fifth device 1H among the first environmental sensor 1A, the second environmental sensor 1B, and the third environmental sensor 1C is selected. Specifically, the environmental sensor selection unit 1I21 selects the second environmental sensor 1B as the environmental sensor for the fifth device that detects environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 1H2 of the fifth device 1H. As a result, the control unit 1H3 of the fifth device 1H (air conditioner) controls the operation unit 1H2 based on the environmental information (temperature information) detected by the second environmental sensor 1B. That is, the environmental sensor for the fourth device and the environmental sensor for the fifth device are the same environmental sensor (the second environmental sensor 1B), and the second environmental sensor 1B is shared by the fourth device 1G and the fifth device 1H.

As the environment sensor for the fourth device that detects the environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 1G2 of the fourth device 1G, the third environment sensor 1C, for which the distance along the line connecting the nearest grid points from the fourth device 1G is the smallest, is selected. As the environment sensor for the fifth device that detects the environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 1H2 of the fifth device 1H, the second environment sensor 1B, for which the distance along the line connecting the nearest grid points from the fifth device 1H is the smallest, is selected. The "line connecting the nearest grid points" corresponds to the side of a rectangle (for example, a square) formed by four grid points. Alternatively, instead of the "line connecting the nearest lattice points", the "line connecting the second-nearest lattice points" may be used. The "line connecting the second-nearest lattice points" corresponds to the diagonal of a rectangle (e.g., a square) formed by four lattice points.

[0032] FIG. 10 is a virtual line connecting the fifth device 1H and the first environmental sensor 1A, and is a diagram for explaining a virtual line that bypasses a two-dimensional coordinate lattice point located on a large piece of furniture among a plurality of two-dimensional coordinate lattice points set on the drawing of the building BD. In the example shown in FIG. 10, the environmental sensor selection device 1I detects environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 1H2 of the fifth device 1H based on the drawing information of the building BD and the arrangement information indicating the arrangement of housing equipment or furniture in the building BD. As the environmental sensor for the fifth device, when a plurality of two-dimensional coordinate lattice points are set on the drawing of the building BD, the environmental sensor (specifically, the second environmental sensor 1B) with the smallest distance from the fifth device 1H along the virtual line connecting the plurality of two-dimensional coordinate lattice points is selected. The virtual line is a line that bypasses the off-virtual-line two-dimensional coordinate lattice points (the lattice points indicated by "×" or "△" in FIG. 10) located on housing equipment or furniture among the plurality of two-dimensional coordinate lattice points set on the drawing of the building BD. Specifically, FIG. 10 shows a state in which the environmental sensor selection device 1I is determining whether the first environmental sensor 1A can be selected as the environmental sensor for the fifth device. The virtual line shown in FIG. 10 (the line connecting the plurality of arrows shown in FIG. 10) bypasses the off-virtual-line two-dimensional coordinate lattice points located on the "large piece of furniture" as the "housing equipment or furniture". The distance between the first environmental sensor 1A and the fifth device 1H along the virtual line shown in FIG. 10 is longer than the distance between the second environmental sensor 1B and the fifth device 1H along the virtual line (not shown in FIG. 10). Therefore, the environmental sensor selection device 1I does not select the first environmental sensor 1A as the environmental sensor for the fifth device.

[0033] In addition to the "large furniture" shown in Fig. 10, the above-mentioned "housing equipment or furniture" includes, for example, walls, kitchens, furniture (non-large furniture), etc. The above-mentioned "housing equipment or furniture" corresponds to an "inviolable area" where virtual lines cannot exist. The grid points indicated by "×" in Fig. 10 are points that are inviolable from any direction. The grid points indicated by "△" in Fig. 10 are points that are inviolable from the left-right direction in Fig. 10. In the example shown in Fig. 10, the virtual line is composed only of the lines connecting the above-mentioned "nearest grid points", but in other examples, the lines connecting the above-mentioned "second-nearest grid points" may be included in the virtual line.

[0034] Fig. 11 is a diagram for explaining an example in which the environmental sensor 1B is selected based on the distance considering obstacles such as walls and fixtures in the building BD. Not only the simple straight-line distance between the environmental sensor and the device, but also the comparison of the distance considering the positions of obstacles such as walls and fixtures on the drawing may be performed. In the example shown in Fig. 11, based on the drawing information of the building BD, the environmental sensor selection device 1I selects the second environmental sensor 1B, which has the smallest substantial distance from the fifth device 1H among the first environmental sensor 1A, the second environmental sensor 1B, and the third environmental sensor 1C, as the environmental sensor for the fifth device for detecting the environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 1H2 of the fifth device H. This "substantial distance" is the length of the straight line connecting the environmental sensor for the fifth device (the second environmental sensor 1B) and the fifth device 1H when there are no obstacles such as walls and fixtures on the straight line connecting the environmental sensor for the fifth device (the second environmental sensor 1B) and the fifth device 1H. In the example shown in Fig. 11, since there is an obstacle (specifically, a wall) on the straight line connecting the second environmental sensor 1B and the first device 1D, the "substantial distance" between the second environmental sensor 1B and the first device 1D is the sum of the lengths of the two straight lines that bypass the obstacle (wall) and connect the second environmental sensor 1B and the first device 1D.

[0035] In the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the environmental sensor selection device 1I is arranged outside the building BD (for example, a cloud server or the like), but in other examples, the environmental sensor selection device 1I may be arranged inside the building BD.

[0036] In the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the remote controller 1J transmits infrared rays to the first device 1D, the second device 1E, the third device 1F, the fourth device 1G, and the fifth device 1H based on an input operation by, for example, a resident of the building BG, thereby remotely controlling the first device 1D, the second device 1E, the third device 1F, the fourth device 1G, and the fifth device 1H. In other examples, the building interior environment control system 1 may include a server (not shown). In this example, the remote controller 1J transmits infrared rays to the first device 1D, the second device 1E, the third device 1F, the fourth device 1G, and the fifth device 1H based on an instruction from the server, thereby remotely controlling the first device 1D, the second device 1E, the third device 1F, the fourth device 1G, and the fifth device 1H. Also, in this example, the acquisition unit 1D1 of the first device 1D acquires the environmental information detected by any one of the first environmental sensor 1A, the second environmental sensor 1B, and the third environmental sensor 1C via the server, and the acquisition unit 1E1 of the second device 1E acquires the environmental information detected by any one of the first environmental sensor 1A, the second environmental sensor 1B, and the third environmental sensor 1C via the server, and the acquisition unit 1F1 of the third device 1F acquires the environmental information detected by any one of the first environmental sensor 1A, the second environmental sensor 1B, and the third environmental sensor 1C via the server, and the acquisition unit 1G1 of the fourth device 1G acquires the environmental information detected by any one of the first environmental sensor 1A, the second environmental sensor 1B, and the third environmental sensor 1C via the server, and the acquisition unit 1H1 of the fifth device 1H acquires the environmental information detected by any one of the first environmental sensor 1A, the second environmental sensor 1B, and the third environmental sensor 1C via the server.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, in step S10, the drawing information acquisition unit 1I11 of the environmental sensor selection device 1I acquires drawing information of the building BD showing the relative positional relationship between the first environmental sensor 1A, the second environmental sensor 1B, and the third environmental sensor 1C and the first device 1D, the second device 1E, the third device 1F, the fourth device 1G, and the fifth device 1H in the building BD from, for example, the constructor of the building BD or the like. Next, in step S11, the environmental sensor selection unit 1I21 of the environmental sensor selection device 1I selects, from the first environmental sensor 1A, the second environmental sensor 1B, and the third environmental sensor 1C, a first device environmental sensor that detects environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 1D2 of the first device 1D based on the drawing information of the building BD acquired in step S10. Also, in step S12, the environmental sensor selection unit 1I21 selects, from the first environmental sensor 1A, the second environmental sensor 1B, and the third environmental sensor 1C, a second device environmental sensor that detects environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 1E2 of the second device 1E based on the drawing information of the building BD acquired in step S10.

[0038] Also, in step S13, the environmental sensor selection unit 1I21 selects, from the first environmental sensor 1A, the second environmental sensor 1B, and the third environmental sensor 1C, a third device environmental sensor that detects environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 1F2 of the third device 1F based on the drawing information of the building BD acquired in step S10. Also, in step S14, the environmental sensor selection unit 1I21 selects, from the first environmental sensor 1A, the second environmental sensor 1B, and the third environmental sensor 1C, a fourth device environmental sensor that detects environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 1G2 of the fourth device 1G based on the drawing information of the building BD acquired in step S10. Also, in step S15, the environmental sensor selection unit 1I21 selects, from the first environmental sensor 1A, the second environmental sensor 1B, and the third environmental sensor 1C, a fifth device environmental sensor that detects environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 1H2 of the fifth device 1H based on the drawing information of the building BD acquired in step S10.

[0050] FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining an example of a method for selecting an environmental sensor by the environmental sensor selection unit 2I21 of the environmental sensor selection device 2I. In the example shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the environmental sensor selection unit 2I21 selects, as the environmental sensor for the first device that detects the environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 2D2 of the first device 2D, based on the received signal strength acquired by the received signal strength acquisition unit 2I11, the environmental sensor having the highest received signal strength in the wireless communication with the first device 2D among the first environmental sensor 2A, the second environmental sensor 2B, and the third environmental sensor 2C. Specifically, in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2D4 of the first device 2D and the wireless communication unit 2A2 of the first environmental sensor 2A, the intensity of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2A2 of the first environmental sensor 2A is stronger than the intensity of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2B2 of the second environmental sensor 2B in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2D4 of the first device 2D and the wireless communication unit 2B2 of the second environmental sensor 2B, and is also stronger than the intensity of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2C2 of the third environmental sensor 2C in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2D4 of the first device 2D and the wireless communication unit 2C2 of the third environmental sensor 2C. Therefore, the environmental sensor selection unit 2I21 selects the first environmental sensor 2A as the environmental sensor for the first device that detects the environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 2D2 of the first device 2D. As a result, the control unit 2D3 of the first device 2D (air conditioner) controls the operation unit 2D2 based on the environmental information (temperature information) detected by the first environmental sensor 2A. In another example, based on the intensity of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2D4 of the first device 2D in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2D4 of the first device 2D and the wireless communication unit 2A2 of the first environmental sensor 2A, the intensity of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2D4 of the first device 2D in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2D4 of the first device 2D and the wireless communication unit 2B2 of the second environmental sensor 2B, and the intensity of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2D4 of the first device 2D in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2D4 of the first device 2D and the wireless communication unit 2C2 of the third environmental sensor 2C, the environmental sensor selection unit 2I21 may select the first environmental sensor 2A as the environmental sensor for the first device that detects the environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 2D2 of the first device 2D.

[0051] In the example shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, based on the received signal intensity acquired by the received signal intensity acquisition unit 2I11, the environmental sensor selection unit 2I21 selects, as the environmental sensor for the second device that detects the environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 2E2 of the second device 2E, the environmental sensor with the highest received signal intensity in the wireless communication with the second device 2E among the first environmental sensor 2A, the second environmental sensor 2B, and the third environmental sensor 2C. Specifically, in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2E4 of the second device 2E and the wireless communication unit 2A2 of the first environmental sensor 2A, the intensity of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2A2 of the first environmental sensor 2A is stronger than the intensity of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2B2 of the second environmental sensor 2B in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2E4 of the second device 2E and the wireless communication unit 2B2 of the second environmental sensor 2B, and is also stronger than the intensity of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2C2 of the third environmental sensor 2C in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2E4 of the second device 2E and the wireless communication unit 2C2 of the third environmental sensor 2C. Therefore, the environmental sensor selection unit 2I21 selects the first environmental sensor 2A as the environmental sensor for the second device that detects the environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 2E2 of the second device 2E. As a result, the control unit 2E3 of the second device 2E (electric shutter) controls the operation unit 2E2 based on the environmental information (illuminance information) detected by the first environmental sensor 2A. That is, the environmental sensor for the first device and the environmental sensor for the second device are the same environmental sensor (the first environmental sensor 2A), and the first environmental sensor 2A is shared by the first device 2D and the second device 2E. In another example, based on the intensity of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2E4 of the second device 2E in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2E4 of the second device 2E and the wireless communication unit 2A2 of the first environmental sensor 2A, the intensity of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2E4 of the second device 2E in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2E4 of the second device 2E and the wireless communication unit 2B2 of the second environmental sensor 2B, and the intensity of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2E4 of the second device 2E in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2E4 of the second device 2E and the wireless communication unit 2C2 of the third environmental sensor 2C, the environmental sensor selection unit 2I21 may select the first environmental sensor 2A as the environmental sensor for the second device that detects the environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 2E2 of the second device 2E.

[0052] In the example shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the environment sensor selection unit 2I21 detects, as the environment sensor for the third device, the environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 2F2 of the third device 2F based on the received signal strength acquired by the received signal strength acquisition unit 2I11. The environment sensor having the highest received signal strength in the wireless communication with the third device 2F among the first environment sensor 2A, the second environment sensor 2B, and the third environment sensor 2C is selected. Specifically, in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2F4 of the third device 2F and the wireless communication unit 2C2 of the third environment sensor 2C, the strength of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2C2 of the third environment sensor 2C is stronger than the strength of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2A2 of the first environment sensor 2A in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2F4 of the third device 2F and the wireless communication unit 2A2 of the first environment sensor 2A, and is also stronger than the strength of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2B2 of the second environment sensor 2B in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2F4 of the third device 2F and the wireless communication unit 2B2 of the second environment sensor 2B. Therefore, the environment sensor selection unit 2I21 selects the third environment sensor 2C as the environment sensor for the third device that detects the environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 2F2 of the third device 2F. As a result, the control unit 2F3 of the third device 2F (electric blind) controls the operation unit 2F2 based on the environmental information (illuminance information) detected by the third environment sensor 2C. In another example, the environment sensor selection unit 2I21 may select the third environment sensor 2C as the environment sensor for the third device that detects the environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 2F2 of the third device 2F based on the strength of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2F4 of the third device 2F in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2F4 of the third device 2F and the wireless communication unit 2A2 of the first environment sensor 2A, the strength of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2F4 of the third device 2F in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2F4 of the third device 2F and the wireless communication unit 2B2 of the second environment sensor 2B, and the strength of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2F4 of the third device 2F in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2F4 of the third device 2F and the wireless communication unit 2C2 of the third environment sensor 2C.

[0053] In the example shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, based on the received signal strength acquired by the received signal strength acquisition unit 2I11, the environment sensor selection unit 2I21 detects the environment information used for controlling the operation unit 2G2 of the fourth device 2G, and selects, as the environment sensor for the fourth device, the environment sensor with the highest received signal strength in the wireless communication with the fourth device 2G among the first environment sensor 2A, the second environment sensor 2B, and the third environment sensor 2C. Specifically, in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2G4 of the fourth device 2G and the wireless communication unit 2B2 of the second environment sensor 2B, the strength of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2B2 of the second environment sensor 2B is stronger than the strength of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2A2 of the first environment sensor 2A in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2G4 of the fourth device 2G and the wireless communication unit 2A2 of the first environment sensor 2A, and is also stronger than the strength of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2C2 of the third environment sensor 2C in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2G4 of the fourth device 2G and the wireless communication unit 2C2 of the third environment sensor 2C. Therefore, the environment sensor selection unit 2I21 selects the second environment sensor 2B as the environment sensor for the fourth device that detects the environment information used for controlling the operation unit 2G2 of the fourth device 2G. As a result, the control unit 2G3 of the fourth device 2G (electric curtain) controls the operation unit 2G2 based on the environment information (illuminance information) detected by the second environment sensor 2B. In other examples, based on the strength of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2G4 of the fourth device 2G in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2G4 of the fourth device 2G and the wireless communication unit 2A2 of the first environment sensor 2A, the strength of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2G4 of the fourth device 2G in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2G4 of the fourth device 2G and the wireless communication unit 2B2 of the second environment sensor 2B, and the strength of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2G4 of the fourth device 2G in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2G4 of the fourth device 2G and the wireless communication unit 2C2 of the third environment sensor 2C, the environment sensor selection unit 2I21 may select the second environment sensor 2B as the environment sensor for the fourth device that detects the environment information used for controlling the operation unit 2G2 of the fourth device 2G.

[0054] In the example shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the environment sensor selection unit 2I21 detects, as an environment sensor for the fifth device 2H that detects environment information used for controlling the operation unit 2H2 of the fifth device 2H, based on the received signal strength acquired by the received signal strength acquisition unit 2I11, the environment sensor having the highest received signal strength in the wireless communication with the fifth device 2H among the first environment sensor 2A, the second environment sensor 2B, and the third environment sensor 2C. Specifically, the strength of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2B2 of the second environment sensor 2B in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2H4 of the fifth device 2H and the wireless communication unit 2B2 of the second environment sensor 2B is stronger than the strength of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2A2 of the first environment sensor 2A in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2H4 of the fifth device 2H and the wireless communication unit 2A2 of the first environment sensor 2A, and is also stronger than the strength of the signal received by the wireless communication unit 2C2 of the third environment sensor 2C in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2H4 of the fifth device 2H and the wireless communication unit 2C2 of the third environment sensor 2C. Therefore, the environment sensor selection unit 2I21 selects the second environment sensor 2B as the environment sensor for the fifth device 2H that detects environment information used for controlling the operation unit 2H2 of the fifth device 2H. As a result, the control unit 2H3 of the fifth device 2H (air conditioner) controls the operation unit 2H2 based on the environment information (temperature information) detected by the second environment sensor 2B. That is, the environment sensor for the fourth device and the environment sensor for the fifth device are the same environment sensor (the second environment sensor 2B), and the second environment sensor 2B is shared by the fourth device 2G and the fifth device 2H. In another example, the environmental sensor selection unit 2I21 may select the second environmental sensor 2B as the environmental sensor for the fifth device 2H that detects environmental information used for controlling the operation unit 2H2 of the fifth device 2H based on the signal strength received by the wireless communication unit 2H4 of the fifth device 2H in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2H4 of the fifth device 2H and the wireless communication unit 2A2 of the first environmental sensor 2A, the signal strength received by the wireless communication unit 2H4 of the fifth device 2H in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2H4 of the fifth device 2H and the wireless communication unit 2B2 of the second environmental sensor 2B, and the signal strength received by the wireless communication unit 2H4 of the fifth device 2H in the wireless communication between the wireless communication unit 2H4 of the fifth device 2H and the wireless communication unit 2C2 of the third environmental sensor 2C.

[0055] In the examples shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, in order to obtain the received signal strength used for the selection of the environmental sensor by the environmental sensor selection unit 2I21, radio waves or sound waves are transmitted and received in the wireless communication between the respective wireless communication units 2A2, 2B2, 2C2 of the first environmental sensor 2A, the second environmental sensor 2B, and the third environmental sensor 2C and the respective wireless communication units 2D4, 2E4, 2F4, 2G4, 2H4 of the first device 2D, the second device 2E, the third device 2F, the fourth device 2G, and the fifth device 2H.

[0056] In the examples shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the environmental sensor selection device 2I is arranged outside the building BD (for example, a cloud server or the like), but in other examples, the environmental sensor selection device 2I may be arranged inside the building BD.

[0057] In the examples shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the remote controller 2J remotely controls the first device 2D, the second device 2E, the third device 2F, the fourth device 2G, and the fifth device 2H by transmitting infrared rays to the first device 2D, the second device 2E, the third device 2F, the fourth device 2G, and the fifth device 2H based on an input operation by, for example, a resident of the building BG. In another example, the building interior environment control system 2 may include a server (not shown). In this example, the remote controller 2J performs remote control of the first device 2D, the second device 2E, the third device 2F, the fourth device 2G, and the fifth device 2H by transmitting infrared rays to the first device 2D, the second device 2E, the third device 2F, the fourth device 2G, and the fifth device 2H based on an instruction from the server.

Next, in step S21, the environment sensor selection unit 2I21 of the environment sensor selection device 2I selects, from the first environment sensor 2A, the second environment sensor 2B, and the third environment sensor 2C, a first device environment sensor that detects environment information used for controlling the operation unit 2D2 of the first device 2D based on the received signal strength acquired in step S20.

Also, in step S25, the environment sensor selection unit 2I21 selects an environment sensor for the fifth device for detecting environment information used for controlling the operation unit 2H2 of the fifth device 2H based on the received signal strength acquired in step S20 from the first environment sensor 2A, the second environment sensor 2B, and the third environment sensor 2C.
