[0027] 5, each data entry in the room information management table 71b includes information on the room, floor, and location. The location information is an example of "location information" and indicates the location of a room on a floor. In the illustrated example, the direction in which the room is located is entered. The location information is written by the administrator.

[0028] Next, the sensor information management table 72 will be described with reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the sensor information management table 72.

[0029] 6, each data entry in the sensor information management table 72 includes information on a device ID, room temperature, humidity, and air cleanliness. The information on room temperature, humidity, and air cleanliness corresponds to an example of "sensor information" detected by a sensor provided in each of the multiple air conditioners.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 2, the processor of the control unit 60 functions as a first acquisition unit 61, a second acquisition unit 62, a display control unit 63, an environment determination unit 64, a selection reception unit 65a, an operation instruction reception unit 65b, an output unit 65c, a third acquisition unit 66, a maintenance determination unit 67, and a report generation unit 68.

[0031] The first acquisition unit 61 acquires the "device information" from the device information management table 71a.

[0032] The second acquisition unit 62 acquires “sensor information” from m air conditioners 11 to 1 m and n air purifiers 21 to 2 n. The “sensor information” acquired by the second acquisition unit 62 is written to the sensor information management table 72.

[0033] The display control unit 63 displays a room icon corresponding to one of the multiple rooms on the operation display unit 80. The room icon includes "environmental information" indicating the air environment of the room corresponding to the room icon, or "location information" indicating the location of the room corresponding to the room icon. For example, the display control unit 63 controls the operation display unit 80 to display a list of "environmental information" indicating the air environment of each room based on the "device information," "sensor information," and "location information."

[0034] For example, if an air conditioner and an air purifier are installed in a room and each obtains the room temperature, a representative value is used as the room temperature displayed as environmental information. The representative value may be calculated, for example, by obtaining an average value from sensor information from multiple devices. Using sensor information from multiple devices makes it easier to detect device malfunctions. Also, different target devices may be used depending on the type of sensor information. For example, sensor information from a device that detects a temperature close to the floor surface may be used preferentially as environmental information for the room temperature. This makes it possible to more faithfully display the environment that the user in the space actually feels.

[0035] The environment determination unit 64 determines whether or not the air environment in the room needs to be improved based on the "environmental information." The display control unit 63 controls the operation display unit 80 to display the determination result of the environment determination unit 64. In particular, the display control unit 63 controls the operation display unit 80 to display a room icon corresponding to the room, and controls the operation display unit 80 to display the determination result of the environment determination unit 64 in the color of the room icon.

[0036] The selection receiving unit 65a, the operation instruction receiving unit 65b, and the output unit 65c are provided to receive collective operations for a plurality of air conditioners.

[0037] The selection receiving unit 65a receives, via the touch panel 81, a first selection of selecting one or more rooms out of the multiple rooms as target rooms, and a second selection of selecting one type of air conditioner out of the multiple types of air conditioners as a device to be operated. The selection receiving unit 65a receives the first selection while a room icon is displayed on the operation display unit 80. When the selection receiving unit 65a receives the first selection, the display control unit 63 highlights a target room icon that is a room icon corresponding to the target room. The selection receiving unit 65a receives the second selection while the target room icon is highlighted on the operation display unit 80. When the selection receiving unit 65a receives the second selection, the display control unit 63 cancels the highlighting of a non-installation room icon that is a target room icon corresponding to a room among the target rooms in which a device to be operated is not installed.

[0038] The operation instruction receiving unit 65b receives an operation instruction for an operation target device installed in a target room via the touch panel 81. The operation instruction receiving unit 65b receives the operation instruction while the target room icon is highlighted on the operation display unit 80. When the operation instruction receiving unit 65b receives an operation instruction, the display control unit 63 controls the operation display unit 80 to display the operating status of the operation target device.

[0039] The output unit 65c outputs the first and second selections received by the selection receiving unit 65a and the operation instruction received by the operation instruction receiving unit 65b.

[0040] The third acquisition unit 66 acquires "status information" from m air conditioners 11 to 1 m and n air purifiers 21 to 2 n. The "status information" acquired by the third acquisition unit 66 is written to the device information management table 71 a. The display control unit 63 controls the operation display unit 80 to display the "status information."

[0041] The maintenance determination unit 67 determines whether or not maintenance work is required for the air conditioner based on the “status information.” The display control unit 63 controls the operation display unit 80 to display the determination result of the maintenance determination unit 67.

[0042] The report generation unit 68 generates a report showing the history of changes in the air environment of a specified room in a building to be managed.

[0043] Next, a management screen 200 displayed on the operation display unit 80 will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 7. Figure 7 shows an example of the management screen 200.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 7, the management screen 200 includes a display format switching area 210, a display range switching area 220, a management target display area 230, a warning area 240, and a collective operation area 250.

[0045] The display format switching area 210 includes a floor map icon, a room list icon, and an equipment list icon. The floor map icon is an icon for displaying a list of room icons in floor map format in the managed object display area 230. The room list icon is an icon for displaying a list of room icons in a matrix format in the managed object display area 230. The equipment list icon is an icon for displaying a list of the operating status icons of each air conditioner in a matrix format in the managed object display area 230. In the illustrated example, the room list icon has been selected by a touch operation and is displayed highlighted.

[0046] The display range switching area 220 includes an all icon, a 1st floor west icon, a 1st floor east icon, a 2nd floor icon, and a 3rd floor icon. The administrator can specify a specific floor or area using the icons displayed in the display range switching area 220. The display control unit 63 controls the operation display unit 80 to display a list of "environment information" for only the rooms included in the specified floor or specified area in the building under management. In the illustrated example, the 1st floor east icon is selected by touch operation and is displayed highlighted.

[0047] The managed object display area 230 includes room icons or operation status icons, depending on the selection made in the display format switching area 210. In the illustrated example, the managed object display area 230 includes a first room icon 231, a second room icon 232, a third room icon 233, a fourth room icon 234, a fifth room icon 235, and a sixth room icon 236. The first room icon 231 to the sixth room icon 236 indicate "environment information" and "equipment operation information," respectively. For example, the first room icon 231 indicates that the temperature of Room 1, located in the east area on the first floor, is 20°C, the humidity is 75%, the air cleanliness level (air quality) is 4, and the air conditioner and air purifier are operating.

[0048] The display control unit 63 controls the display of the first room icon 231 to the sixth room icon 236 based on the "location information." Specifically, the display control unit 63 controls the display of icons with similar types of location information so that they are close to each other. In the illustrated example, in the room information management table 71b shown in FIG. 5, the first room icon 231 to the third room icon 233 corresponding to Room 1 to Room 3 whose "location information" includes north are arranged at the upper side of the screen. Meanwhile, the fourth room icon 234 to the sixth room icon 236 corresponding to Room 4 to Room 6 whose "location information" includes south are arranged at the lower side of the screen. Furthermore, in the room information management table 71b shown in FIG. 5, the first room icon 231, the second room icon 232, and the fourth room icon 234 corresponding to Room 1, Room 2, and Room 4 whose "location information" includes west are arranged at the left side of the screen. Meanwhile, a third room icon 233, a fifth room icon 235, and a sixth room icon 236 corresponding to Room 3, Room 5, and Room 6, whose "location information" includes east, are arranged on the right side of the screen. In this way, by displaying rooms with similar types of location information close to each other, it is possible to display the "environment information" of rooms with similar surrounding environments close to each other.

[0049] As described above, the environment determination unit 64 determines whether or not the air environment of the room needs to be improved based on the "environmental information." The display control unit 63 controls the operation display unit 80 to display the determination result of the environment determination unit 64 in the color of the room icon. In the illustrated example, since the room temperature exceeds the first threshold, it is determined that the air environment needs to be improved, and the third room icon 233 and the fourth room icon 234 are displayed in red. Furthermore, since the room temperature is below the second threshold, it is determined that the air environment needs to be improved, and the sixth room icon 236 is displayed in blue. Since the first room icon 231 and the second room icon 232 are determined that the air environment does not need to be improved, they are displayed in green. The fifth room icon 235 is displayed in gray because the air conditioner is not operating.

[0050] When the administrator touches any of the first room icon 231 to the sixth room icon 236, the management screen 200 switches to a device operation screen (not shown). On the device operation screen, the administrator can remotely operate the air conditioner installed in the selected room.

[0051] The warning area 240 includes a temperature monitoring icon 241 , an air quality monitoring icon 242 , an error occurrence icon 243 , and a maintenance / consumable replacement icon 244 .

[0052] The display control unit 63 controls the operation display unit 80 to display an environmental information icon corresponding to "environmental information." Furthermore, when the environment determination unit 64 determines that the air environment in any room needs to be improved, the display control unit 63 controls the operation display unit 80 to highlight the specific environmental information icon corresponding to the specific environmental information determined to need improvement. The temperature monitoring icon 241 and the air quality monitoring icon 242 each correspond to an example of an "environmental information icon."

[0053] The temperature monitoring icon 241 is an environmental information icon corresponding to the room temperature. When the environment determination unit 64 determines that the temperature of any room needs to be improved, the display control unit 63 controls the operation display unit 80 to highlight the temperature monitoring icon 241 in red.

[0054] The air quality monitoring icon 242 is an environmental information icon corresponding to the air cleanliness of the room. When the environment determination unit 64 determines that the air cleanliness of any room needs to be improved, the display control unit 63 controls the operation display unit 80 to highlight the air quality monitoring icon 242 in red.

[0055] When a specific environmental information icon is selected, the display control unit 63 controls so that only room icons corresponding to specific rooms determined to require improvement in the air environment are displayed in the managed object display area 230. At this time, even if the display format of the room icons in the managed object display area 230 is a floor map format, the display control unit 63 automatically switches this to a matrix format.

[0056] The display control unit 63 controls the operation display unit 80 to display a status information icon corresponding to the "status information." Furthermore, when the maintenance determination unit 67 determines that maintenance work is required for any of the air conditioners, the display control unit 63 controls the operation display unit 80 to highlight a specific status information icon corresponding to the specific status information for which it has been determined that maintenance work is required. The error occurrence icon 243 and the maintenance / consumable replacement icon 244 each correspond to an example of a "status information icon."

[0057] The error occurrence icon 243 is a status information icon corresponding to the presence or absence of an equipment abnormality. When the maintenance determination unit 67 determines that maintenance work related to an equipment abnormality is required for any of the air conditioners, the display control unit 63 controls the operation display unit 80 to highlight the error occurrence icon 243 in red.

[0058] The maintenance / consumable replacement icon 244 is a status information icon corresponding to whether maintenance is required. When the maintenance determination unit 67 determines that any of the air conditioners requires maintenance work, the display control unit 63 controls the operation display unit 80 to highlight the maintenance / consumable replacement icon 244 in red.

[0059] When a specific status information icon is selected, the display control unit 63 controls so that only the room icon corresponding to the specific room in which the specific air conditioner determined to require maintenance work is installed is displayed in the managed object display area 230. At this time, in consideration of the convenience of the maintenance work, the display control unit 63 automatically switches the display format of the room icons in the managed object display area 230 to a floor map format even if the display format is a matrix format.

[0060] The collective operation area 250 includes icons corresponding to devices for which collective operation instructions can be given. The icons included in the collective operation area 250 are, for example, icons corresponding to device types that have been preset as devices that can be registered. The collective operation area 250 may not display icons corresponding to device types that are not registered in the device information management table 71a. In this embodiment, the collective operation area 250 includes an air conditioner icon 251 and an air purifier icon 252.

[0061] When the administrator touches the air conditioner icon 251 or the air purifier icon 252, the room icon displayed in the managed object display area 230 that corresponds to the room in which the device corresponding to the touched icon is registered is highlighted. At the same time, a collective operation screen (not shown) pops up on the management screen 200. At this time, it is preferable to cancel the highlighting of the room icon in which the device corresponding to the touched icon is not registered. This allows the administrator to confirm the room in which the air conditioning operation will actually be performed.

[0062] On the collective operation screen, the administrator can collectively operate the air conditioners installed in the rooms corresponding to the highlighted room icons among the rooms corresponding to the room icons displayed in the management subject display area 230. Specifically, when the administrator touches the air conditioner icon 251, the operation instruction receiving unit 65b receives a collective operation for the air conditioners installed in the rooms corresponding to the highlighted room icons among the rooms corresponding to the room icons displayed in the management subject display area 230. When the administrator touches the air purifier icon 252, the operation instruction receiving unit 65b receives a collective operation for the air purifiers installed in the rooms corresponding to the highlighted room icons among the rooms corresponding to the room icons displayed in the management subject display area 230.

[0063] The management screen 200 further includes a setting icon 260 and a report icon 270 .

[0064] When the administrator touches the setting icon 260, the management screen 200 switches to a setting screen (not shown). On the setting screen, the administrator can determine setting values ​​such as the first threshold and the second threshold to be referenced by the environment determination unit 64.

[0065] When the administrator touches the report icon 270, the management screen 200 switches to a report screen (not shown). As described above, the report generation unit 68 generates a report showing the history of changes in the air environment of a specified room in a building to be managed. The display control unit 63 controls the operation display unit 80 to display the report generated by the report generation unit 68 in a color corresponding to the color of the room icon.

[0066] The management screen 200 further comprises a device selection icon 280. The device selection icon 280 is operated before the start of selection of air conditioners to be the targets of the collective operation.

[0067] Next, the device list screen will be described with reference to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the device list screen.

[0068] As shown in Fig. 8, the device list screen includes a device list 290 that shows the operating status of each air conditioner. The device list 290 is displayed in the managed object display area 230 shown in Fig. 7. The device list 290 includes a first operating status icon 291 for the air conditioner installed in Room 1 and a second operating status icon 292 for the air conditioner installed in Room 2. When a collective operation is performed on the room list screen, the display control unit 63 switches the room list screen to the device list screen. The administrator can immediately confirm that, for example, the air purifiers in Room 1 and Room 2 have been collectively turned off.

[0069] The air conditioner management program according to the embodiment causes a computer to function as a selection receiving unit 65a, an operation instruction receiving unit 65b, and an output unit 65c to manage multiple types of air conditioners installed in a building to be managed, which has multiple rooms. The selection receiving unit 65a receives a first selection for selecting one or more rooms from the multiple rooms as target rooms, and a second selection for selecting one type of air conditioner from the multiple types of air conditioners as a target device to be operated. The operation instruction receiving unit 65b receives an operation instruction for the target device to be operated installed in the target room. The output unit 65c outputs the first and second selections received by the selection receiving unit 65a and the operation instruction received by the operation instruction receiving unit 65b.

[0070] According to the embodiment, an air conditioner management device 40 and an air conditioner management program are provided that accept operation instructions for an operation target device selected from a plurality of types of air conditioners.

[0071] In particular, according to the embodiment, the administrator can smoothly perform collective operations on air conditioners, such as turning on all air conditioners in rooms with high room temperatures at once, or touching the device selection icon 280, selecting any room, and then turning off all air purifiers at once.

[0072] When the display format or display range of the room icons in the managed object display area 230 is switched, the display control unit 63 may change the display mode of a specific room icon among the room icons to be displayed after the switch. For example, the display control unit 63 controls the room icon corresponding to a specific room determined to require improvement of the air environment to be temporarily highlighted. For example, the display control unit 63 controls the display mode of a specific room icon among the room icons to be displayed after the switch to be highlighted, with a slight delay after the switch of the display format or display range of the room icons in the managed object display area 230. This allows the user to visually confirm the change. This makes it easier for the user to recognize the existence of a room that requires improvement. Furthermore, the display control unit 63 controls the room icon corresponding to a specific room in which a specific air conditioner determined to require maintenance work is installed to be temporarily highlighted.
