Application programs for communication systems and mobile terminals

Abstract

To provide a technique for improving the convenience for a user.SOLUTION: A communication system includes a first heater unit, a second heater unit, and a portable terminal. The portable terminal can selectively display a first screen and a second screen. The first screen includes an equipment tab region including a first tab and a second tab, and a first operation region including first operation means. The second screen includes the equipment tab region and second operation means. The portable terminal is configured to: display the first screen when receiving a start instruction while information for displaying a screen including the first operation means is stored in a memory; and display the second screen in place of the first screen when the user selects the second tab included in the equipment tab region while the first screen is displayed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

The first screen is, When the first and second thermal equipment are associated with the first tab, the equipment tab area includes the first operating means and the third operating means for causing the second thermal equipment to perform the third operational operation, The communication system according to claim 1, comprising the equipment tab area and the first operating means, but not the third operating means, when only the first thermal equipment is associated with the first tab.

3. The first thermal equipment unit is capable of performing the first operation and the fourth operation. The aforementioned mobile terminal is In response to user operations, the operation associated with the first tab is stored in the memory. The first screen is, When the first operation and the fourth operation are associated with the first tab, the equipment tab area includes the first operating means and the fourth operating means for causing the first thermal equipment unit to perform the fourth operation, The communication system according to claim 1, which includes the equipment tab area and the first operating means, but does not include the fourth operating means, when only the first operational operation is associated with the first tab.

4. The first heating equipment unit is a hot water supply unit, The communication system according to claim 1, wherein the first operation is a hot water filling operation.

5. An application program for mobile devices, The aforementioned mobile terminal is equipped with a display unit, The aforementioned application program uses the computer of the mobile terminal, A display control unit that selectively displays a first screen, a second screen, and a settings screen, The first screen includes an equipment tab area including a first tab for displaying a screen including a first operating means for causing a first thermal equipment unit to perform a first operational operation, and a second tab for displaying a screen including a second operating means for causing a second thermal equipment unit to perform a second operational operation, and a first operating area including the first operating means. The second screen includes the equipment tab area and a second operating area including the second operating means, The aforementioned settings screen includes a settings area for setting screen information related to the screen to be displayed when a startup command to launch the application program is obtained. The display control unit and, When the first screen is displayed and the user selects the first operating means, a first transmitting unit transmits a first operation instruction to the first thermal equipment unit to cause the first thermal equipment unit to perform the first operation; When the second screen is displayed and the user selects the second operating means, the second transmitting unit transmits a second operation instruction to the second thermal equipment unit to cause the second thermal equipment unit to perform the second operation; A memory control unit that, when the settings screen is displayed, stores in memory first information indicating that the first tab is selected as screen information when the user selects the first screen corresponding to the first tab in the settings area as the screen to be displayed when the startup command is acquired, and stores in memory second information indicating that the second tab is selected as screen information when the user selects the second screen corresponding to the second tab in the settings area as the screen to be displayed when the startup command is acquired, To make it function as, The display control unit, When the startup instruction is received while the first information is stored in the memory as screen information, the first screen is displayed on the display unit.
