Setting screen displaying a list of air conditioner identifiers installed, on/off fan control, airflow direction, and address information of multiple indoor units and outdoor units
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing air conditioning device installation processes are inefficient due to the need for multiple screen transitions and manual identification of devices during initial setup.
Innovation Solution
A program and method that utilize a terminal application to display a unified setting screen with identification information, setting items, and drive indicators for user-side and heat-source-side devices, allowing for efficient setup and control without screen transitions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the installer uses traditional air conditioning device setup procedures, then device configuration can be completed, but multiple screen transitions and manual identification processes are required, reducing setup efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines identification information, setting items, and drive indicators into a single unified setting screen. This merging of previously separate display elements allows the installer to view and control multiple devices simultaneously without navigating between screens, directly improving setup efficiency while maintaining ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The setting screen is designed to display and control multiple user-side devices and heat-source-side devices simultaneously with a single interface. This multi-functional display eliminates the need for separate screens for each device, reducing the number of operations required and improving overall setup productivity
2Reliability
If the installer manually identifies devices during setup, then device configuration can be completed, but the process requires multiple screen transitions and increases the risk of forgotten device states
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates drive indicators that provide real-time visual feedback on the operational state of each device directly on the setting screen. This immediate feedback mechanism allows the installer to track device states without manual verification, improving reliability while reducing the time spent on identification and state monitoring
Solution Approach 2:
The setting screen displays all necessary identification information and device states in advance before the installer needs to make configuration decisions. This preliminary presentation of information eliminates the need for multiple screen transitions and manual identification steps, reducing time loss while ensuring accurate device tracking

AI summary
To propose a technique by which an air conditioning device can be efficiently set up. An aspect of the present disclosure relates to a program for implementing, on a terminal, an application that controls a user-side device or a heat-source-side device of an air conditioning device. The program causes the terminal to execute a process including displaying, by the application, a setting screen on the terminal. The setting screen includes identification information, a setting item, and a drive indicator of the user-side device or the heat-source-side device.
