[0008] Hereinafter, the opening and closing control system according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0009] 1 is a diagram showing an example of a schematic configuration of an opening and closing control system 1 according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG.

[0010] The opening and closing device 2 includes an opening and closing body 21 and an opening and closing control device 22 .

[0011] The opening / closing body 21 is installed in a building. The opening / closing body 21 can operate in either an open direction or a closed direction. For example, the opening / closing body 21 has at least one of a sunshade and a rainshade function. The opening / closing body 21 of this embodiment is a shade installed on the exterior side of the window O. However, the opening / closing body 21 is not limited to a shade and may be an awning. For example, the opening / closing body 21 may be a shutter curtain or a blind. The opening / closing body 21 may be installed outdoors or indoors. When the opening / closing control system 1 includes multiple opening / closing devices 2, the multiple opening / closing devices 2 may be the same type of opening / closing device or different types of opening / closing devices. The same type of opening / closing devices are opening / closing devices that control the same type of opening / closing body 21. The different types of opening / closing devices are opening / closing devices that control different types of opening / closing bodies 21. For example, it is assumed that the opening / closing control system 1 includes three opening / closing devices 2 (2-1 to 2-3). In this case, for example, the opening and closing device 2-1 has a shutter curtain as the opening and closing body 21 and opens and closes the shutter curtain. For example, the opening and closing device 2-2 has a shade as the opening and closing body 21 and opens and closes the shade. For example, the opening and closing device 2-3 has a blind as the opening and closing body 21 and opens and closes the blind.

[0012] The opening / closing control device 22 operates the opening / closing body 21 in the open direction or the closed direction. The opening / closing control device 22 sends and receives information to and from the information terminal 3 by wireless or wired communication. The opening / closing control device 22 receives information from the information terminal 3 by wireless or wired communication. The opening / closing control device 22 operates the opening / closing body 21 in the open direction or the closed direction based on the information received from the information terminal 3.

[0013] Information terminal 3 transmits and receives information by directly communicating with opening / closing control device 22 wirelessly or via a wired connection. The standard of the wireless communication is not particularly limited as long as it enables wireless communication between information terminal 3 and opening / closing control device 22. For example, the standard of the wireless communication may be wireless LAN or short-range wireless communication. For example, information terminal 3 is a portable information terminal that can be carried by a user. For example, information terminal 3 is any of a mobile phone, smartphone, tablet terminal, and laptop computer. Information terminal 3 may also be a wearable terminal. The wearable terminal is, for example, any of eyeglasses and a watch with a communication function. However, information terminal 3 is not particularly limited as long as it can directly communicate with opening / closing control device 22 wirelessly or via a wired connection, and may be portable by a user. For example, information terminal 3 may be a communication device that constitutes a HEMS (Home Energy Management System) and is installed indoors.

[0014] The information terminal 3 includes an operation device 31 , a display device 32 , and an information processing device 33 .

[0015] The operation device 31 is operated by a user. When the operation device 31 receives an operation from the user, it outputs an operation signal corresponding to the received operation to the information processing device 33. For example, the operation device 31 is any one of a mouse, a keyboard, a touch panel, a button, and a switch. In this embodiment, the operation device 31 is a touch panel that is integrated with the display device 32.

[0016] The display device 32 displays information. For example, the display device 32 is equipped with a touch panel display screen.

[0017] The information processing device 33 includes a processor, a memory, and a communication interface. The information processing device 33 includes an acquisition unit 34, a display control unit 35, an information processing unit 36, and a transmission unit 37. These functions of the information processing device 33 are realized by applications pre-installed in the information processing device 33.

[0018] The acquisition unit 34 has a wireless or wired communication function. When the application is executed, the acquisition unit 34 acquires, from an external source, weather information R for the area where the open-close body 21 is installed. For example, information on the location where the open-close body 21 is installed is stored in advance in the information processing device 33. However, without being limited to this, the acquisition unit 34 may acquire the current location of the information processing device 33 as the location information of the open-close body 21. The acquisition unit 34 may acquire the location information of the open-close body 21 by operating the operation device 31 by the user. The acquisition unit 34 of this embodiment is not particularly limited in the method of acquiring the location information of the open-close body 21.

[0019] The acquisition unit 34 acquires weather information R by accessing an external server that publishes weather information R for the area where the opening-closing body 21 is installed. For example, the external server is a server operated by at least one of the Japan Meteorological Agency and a company other than the Japan Meteorological Agency. The weather information R includes first information, which is information that associates multiple predicted times t+1, ..., t+n, which are times from the current time t, with weather forecast information K (K+1, ..., K+n) for the area for each of the multiple predicted times t+1, ..., t+n. The weather forecast information K includes, for example, at least one predicted value of temperature, humidity, air pressure, rainfall, and wind speed. The weather forecast information K may be a weather forecast. The weather refers to meteorological conditions such as sunny, cloudy, rainy, and snowy. In this embodiment, the forecast information K is a predicted value of wind speed. The weather information R may also include forecast information for the current time.

[0020] The acquisition unit 34 may acquire weather information R at a preset time t. For example, the acquisition unit 34 may acquire weather information R for the control day in the area from outside at least the day before the control day. As an example, the acquisition unit 34 may acquire weather information R for the control day in the area from outside at least during a predetermined period at night. Night is the period from sunset on the day before the control day to sunrise on the control day. The acquisition unit 34 may acquire weather information R at a time t specified by the user in an application running on the information terminal 3. The acquisition unit 34 outputs the acquired weather information R to the information processing device 33.

[0021] When the application is launched, the display control unit 35 displays a display screen 100 as shown in FIG. 3. The display screen 100 displays a plurality of items. When a first item 101 is selected by the operation device 31, the display control unit 35 displays a screen that explains how to use the application. When a second item 102 is selected by the operation device 31, the display control unit 35 displays a screen for setting setting information. The setting information includes the type of weather information R to be acquired by the acquisition unit 34, the time t at which the weather information R is acquired, and a predetermined threshold value. In this embodiment, the type of weather information R is set to wind speed. The predetermined threshold value is a threshold value for operating the opening / closing body 21 in the opening direction or the closing direction. When a third item 103 is selected by the operation device 31, the acquisition unit 34 acquires weather information R from an external source regardless of the time t.

[0022] Based on the weather information R acquired by the acquisition unit 34, the information processing unit 36 ​​transmits second information to the opening / closing control device 22, the second information including an instruction to operate the opening / closing body 21 in the opening or closing direction. For example, the information processing unit 36 ​​executes a determination process to determine whether or not the forecast information K in the weather information R satisfies a predetermined condition. The fact that the forecast information K in the weather information R satisfies the predetermined condition indicates that a setting condition, which is a condition for executing a setting operation set in the initial setting, has been established. If the information processing unit 36 ​​determines that the forecast information K satisfies the predetermined condition as a result of the determination process, the information processing unit 36 ​​transmits second information including an occurrence time, which is a predicted time associated with the forecast information K, to the opening / closing control device 22. For example, if the forecast information K+1, ..., K+n is a predicted value of wind speed, the information processing unit 36 ​​determines whether the predicted values ​​K+1, ..., K+n of the wind speed in the weather information R exceed a predetermined threshold for each prediction time t+1, ..., t+n. If there is a predicted value K among the predicted values ​​K+1, ..., K+n that exceeds the predetermined threshold, the information processing unit 36 ​​sets the predicted time corresponding to the predicted value K as the occurrence time. Information processing section 36 transmits second information including the set occurrence time to switching controller 22 via transmission section 37.

[0023] Transmitter 37 communicates wirelessly or via a cable with switching controller 22. Transmitter 37 transmits second information including information on the occurrence time set by information processing unit 36 ​​directly to switching controller 22. Transmitter 37 transmits the second information directly to switching controller 22 without going through another device.

[0024] The opening / closing controller 22 controls the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing body 21 based on the second information received from the information terminal 3 by wireless or wired communication. This allows the opening / closing controller 22 to control the opening / closing body 21 in accordance with the weather without using an outside air sensor. For example, the opening / closing controller 22 operates the opening / closing body 21 in the opening direction when the current time reaches either the occurrence time included in the second information or a time a predetermined time before the occurrence time. This causes the opening / closing body 21 to be retracted when the wind speed is higher than a predetermined threshold. As a result, the opening / closing control system 1 can prevent the outdoor opening / closing body 21 from being damaged by weather or climate.

[0025] The following describes a method for initializing the information terminal 3 with reference to FIG.

[0026] When the user performs a predetermined operation on the information terminal 3, the information terminal 3 starts an application (step S101). When the application is started, the information terminal 3 acquires location information of the area for which weather information R is desired to be acquired by operating the operation device 31 by the user (step S102). For example, the information terminal 3 may acquire location information by inputting location information by operating the operation device 31 of the information terminal 3. Here, the location information is not particularly limited as long as it is information indicating a location, and may be information such as a postal code, address, longitude, and latitude.

[0027] The user sets an operation (setting operation) to be performed by the opening-closing body 21 by performing a predetermined operation on the information terminal 3. For example, the information terminal 3 can set operations from the first operation to the fifth operation. For example, the first operation is an operation to open the opening-closing body 21 when the predicted wind speed value included in the weather information R exceeds a threshold value included in the first parameter. The second operation is an operation to close the opening-closing body 21 when the predicted wind speed value included in the weather information R exceeds a threshold value included in the second parameter. The third operation is an operation to close the opening-closing body 21 when the rainy weather duration included in the weather information R exceeds a threshold value included in the third parameter. Here, the rainy weather duration refers to the duration of rain. The fourth operation is an operation to open or close the opening-closing body 21 based on the predicted temperature value included in the weather information R. For example, the fourth operation is an operation to open the opening-closing body 21 when the predicted temperature value exceeds a threshold value included in the fourth parameter. The fifth operation is an operation to control the opening degree of the opening-closing body 21 to a predetermined opening degree when the sunshine duration included in the weather information R exceeds a threshold value included in the fifth parameter. For example, if the opening / closing body 21 is a blind or shutter with multiple slats, the opening / closing control device 22 that controls the opening / closing body 21 can adjust the amount of light entering the room by controlling the opening degree of the multiple slats.

[0028] The information terminal 3 can select the equipment to be the target of each of the first to fifth operations. The equipment corresponds to the switching device 2 in this embodiment. Therefore, when the switching control system 1 has a plurality of switching devices 2 (switching devices 2-1 to 2-5), the information terminal 3 can, through user operation, set the target equipment for the first operation to "switching device 2-1," the target equipment for the second operation to "switching device 2-2," the target equipment for the third operation to "switching device 2-3," the target equipment for the fourth operation to "switching device 2-4," and the target equipment for the fifth operation to "switching device 2-5."

[0029] Next, the information terminal 3 can set the first parameter to the fifth parameter, which are parameters used for the first operation to the fifth operation, respectively. Therefore, when the first operation is set on the application (step S103) and the equipment to be subjected to the first operation is set (step S104), the information terminal 3 displays a screen for setting the first parameter to be used for the first operation. Then, when the first parameter is input by the user (step S105), the information terminal 3 ends the initial setting of the first operation.

[0030] When the second operation is set on the application (step S106) and the equipment to be the target of the second operation is set (step S107), the information terminal 3 displays a screen for setting the second parameters to be used for the first operation. Then, when the second parameters are input by the user (step S108), the information terminal 3 ends the initial setting of the second operation.

[0031] When the third operation is set on the application (step S109) and the equipment to be the target of the third operation is set (step S110), the information terminal 3 displays a screen for setting the third parameter to be used for the third operation. Then, when the third parameter is input by the user (step S111), the information terminal 3 ends the initial setting of the third operation.

[0032] When the fourth operation is set on the application (step S112) and the equipment to be subjected to the fourth operation is set (step S113), the information terminal 3 displays a screen for setting a fourth parameter to be used for the third operation. Then, when the fourth parameter is input by the user (step S114), the information terminal 3 ends the initial setting of the fourth operation.

[0033] When the fifth operation is set on the application (step S115) and the equipment to be the target of the fifth operation is set (step S116), the information terminal 3 displays a screen for setting the fifth parameter to be used for the third operation. Then, when the fifth parameter is input by the user (step S117), the information terminal 3 ends the initial setting of the fifth operation.

[0034] An example of the operation flow of the opening / closing control system 1 will be described below. When the application is launched, the information terminal 3 displays the display screen 100 on the display device 32. When the user operates the display device 32 to select the third item 103 on the display screen 100, the information terminal 3 acquires weather information R from an external source (step S201). Upon receiving the weather information R, the information terminal 3 executes a determination process to determine whether or not the forecast information K+1, ..., K+n in the weather information R satisfies a predetermined condition (step S202). The information terminal 3 transmits the determination result of the determination process to the opening / closing device 2 wirelessly or via a wired connection (step S203). For example, the information terminal 3 executes a determination process to determine whether or not the forecast information K+1, ..., K+n in the weather information R exceeds a predetermined threshold for each piece of forecast information. If any of the forecast values ​​K+1, ..., K+n exceeds the predetermined threshold, the information terminal 3 sets the predicted time corresponding to the forecast value as the occurrence time. The information terminal 3 transmits second information including the set occurrence time to the opening / closing device 2.

[0035] The opening / closing device 2 controls the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing body 21 on the target control day based on the result of the determination process received from the information terminal 3 by wireless or wired communication (step S204). For example, if the forecast information is temperature, the opening / closing device 2 operates the opening / closing body 21 in the closing direction when the current time reaches either the occurrence time included in the second information or a time a predetermined time before the occurrence time.

[0036] For example, if the forecast information is either rainfall or wind speed, the opening / closing device 2 operates the opening / closing body 21 in the opening direction when the current time reaches either the occurrence time included in the second information or a time a predetermined time before the occurrence time. This allows the opening / closing control system 1 to keep the opening / closing body 21 in the open state in bad weather, thereby preventing the outdoor opening / closing body 21 from being damaged by weather or climate. When the opening / closing body 21 is in the open state, the opening / closing body 21 is stored in the opening / closing control device 22.

[0037] In the above embodiment, the information processing unit 36 ​​may identify a time period in which the prediction information exceeds a predetermined threshold in the determination process. For example, the information processing unit 36 ​​may include a time period between the earliest and latest occurrence times in the second information and transmit this information wirelessly or via wire to opening / closing controller 22. In this case, opening / closing controller 22 may always keep opening / closing body 21 in an open state during the time period included in the second information. This enables opening / closing control system 1 to prevent damage to outdoor opening / closing body 21 due to weather or climate. When the current time has passed the time period included in the second information, opening / closing controller 22 may control opening / closing body 21 to a closed state, or may keep it in an open state.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the information terminal 3 executes the above judgment process on the day before the target control day, and if the result of the judgment process determines that the specified conditions are met, the information terminal 3 may transmit the second information directly to the opening / closing control device 22 wirelessly or via wire on the day before the target control day.

[0039] Information terminal 3 determines whether or not forecast information K satisfies a predetermined condition, and transmits second information including an occurrence time, which is a predicted time, associated with forecast information K that has been determined to satisfy the predetermined condition directly to opening / closing controller 22 wirelessly or via wire. This allows opening / closing device 2 to control opening / closing body 21 in accordance with the weather without using an outside air sensor.

[0040] The information terminal 3 may directly transmit the second information wirelessly or via wire to the opening / closing control device 22 one day or several days before the target control day. This allows the opening / closing control system 1 to prevent the outdoor opening / closing body 21 from being damaged by weather or climate even if the user is out on the target control day.

[0041] The forecast information K may include information on wind speed. When the current time reaches either the occurrence time included in the second information or a time a predetermined time before the occurrence time, opening / closing control device 22 causes opening / closing body 21 to open. In this way, opening / closing control system 1 can prevent outdoor opening / closing body 21 from being damaged by weather or climate.

[0042] A first example of the flow of operations of the information terminal 3 will be described below with reference to Fig. 6. In Fig. 6, it is assumed that the OS (operating system) of the information terminal 3 is Android (registered trademark). However, the portable information terminal of this embodiment is not particularly limited to the type of OS.

[0043] When the application is launched, the information terminal 3 determines whether or not weather forecast linkage is enabled (step S301). For example, when the user selects the third item 103 on the display screen 100, the information terminal 3 determines that weather forecast linkage is enabled. When the information terminal 3 determines that weather forecast linkage is enabled, it determines whether or not the current time is a set time (step S302). The set time is the time at which weather information R is to be acquired. For example, the set time is the time of the day before the target control day. As an example, the set time is the time of the late night time of the day before the target control day. When the current time is the set time, the information terminal 3 accesses an external server to acquire weather information R for the target control day (step S303). Then, the information terminal 3 stores the weather information R in its internal memory.

[0044] The information terminal 3 executes a determination process to determine whether or not the setting condition is met based on the acquired weather information R (step S304). For example, the setting condition is that the wind speed is 10 m / s or more (a predetermined threshold) during the time period between the start time (e.g., 3 PM) and the end time (e.g., 5 PM). If the information terminal 3 determines that the setting condition is met based on the weather information R, it sets the time at which the setting operation, which is the operation set in the initial settings, is to be executed as the timer reservation time (step S305). The timer reservation time can be set arbitrarily by the user, but may be set to the start time, for example.

[0045] The information terminal 3 determines whether the current time is the timer time (S306). If the information terminal 3 determines that the current time is the timer time, it transmits second information including information for causing the opening / closing body 21 to execute a predetermined setting operation (for example, a first operation) to the opening / closing device 2 of the target equipment (step S307). The information terminal 3 determines whether the target equipment has received the second information (step S308). If the information terminal 3 receives an acknowledgment message (ACK) from the target equipment, it determines that the target equipment has received the second information. If the information terminal 3 does not receive an acknowledgment message from the target equipment within a predetermined period, it retransmits the second information to the target equipment (step S309).

[0046] A second example of the flow of operations of the information terminal 3 will be described below with reference to Fig. 7. In Fig. 7, it is assumed that the OS (operating system) of the information terminal 3 is iOS (registered trademark).

[0047] When the application is started, the information terminal 3 determines whether or not weather forecast linkage is enabled, similar to step S301 (step S401). If the information terminal 3 determines that weather forecast linkage is enabled, it accesses an external server to acquire weather information R for the target control day (step S402). Then, the information terminal 3 stores the weather information R in its internal memory.

[0048] The information terminal 3 executes a determination process to determine whether or not the setting conditions are met based on the acquired weather information R (step S403). If the information terminal 3 determines that the setting conditions are met based on the weather information R, it sets the time to execute the setting operation, which is the operation set in the initial settings, as the timer reservation time (step S404). The timer reservation time can be set arbitrarily by the user, but may be set to the start time of the setting conditions, for example.

[0049] The information terminal 3 determines whether the current time is the timer time (S405). If the information terminal 3 determines that the current time is the timer time, it sends a pop-up notification to the display device 32 (step S406). After sending the pop-up notification, the information terminal 3 determines whether the application is running (step S407). If the information terminal 3 determines that the application is running, it transmits second information including information for causing the opening / closing body 21 to execute a predetermined setting operation (for example, a first operation) to the opening / closing device 2 of the target equipment (step S408). The information terminal 3 determines whether the target equipment has received the second information (step S409). If the information terminal 3 receives an acknowledgement message from the target equipment, it determines that the target equipment has received the second information. If the information terminal 3 does not receive an acknowledgement message from the target equipment within a predetermined period, it retransmits the second information to the target equipment (step S410).

[0050] If it is determined that the set condition is met, information terminal 3 may send the second information directly to opening and closing controller 22 when the current time reaches a predetermined time.

[0051] For example, the information processing unit 36 ​​includes a processor. For example, the processor is a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and an MPU (Micro Processing Unit). For example, the information processing unit 36 ​​may be a microcontroller. The information processing unit 36 ​​may include at least one of a non-volatile semiconductor and a volatile semiconductor. The control unit 13 may be realized by a processor executing a program. At least some of the components of the control unit 13 may be realized by hardware, or may be realized by a combination of software and hardware.

[0052] For example, the hardware is at least one of an LSI (Large Scale Integration), an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), and a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). The program may be stored in a storage device in advance. The storage device is a non-transitory storage medium. For example, the storage device is at least one of an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and a flash memory. The program may be stored in a removable storage medium. In this case, the program may be installed in the storage device by inserting the storage medium into a drive device. The storage medium is a non-transitory storage medium. For example, the recording medium is either a DVD or a CD-ROM. [Explanation of symbols]
