[0010] At the time when the inventors conceived of the present disclosure, there was a technique in which a terminal device displays an indoor temperature and humidity. However, the inventors have found a problem with the related art, in that a user cannot intuitively grasp an indoor state as human sensations because the indoor temperature and humidity are displayed with values, and have achieved subject of the present disclosure to solve the problem.

[0011] The present disclosure therefore provides a display method, a terminal device, a display system, and a program of allowing a user to intuitively grasp a state within target space as human sensations.

[0012] Embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, there is a case where detailed description more than necessary will be omitted. For example, there is a case where detailed description regarding well known matters or redundant description regarding substantially the same components will be omitted.

[0013] Note that the accompanying drawings and the description below are provided to allow a person skilled in the art to sufficiently understand the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the subject recited in the claims.

(First embodiment)

[1-1. Configuration]

[1-1-1. Configuration of display system]

[0014] FIG. 1 is a view illustrating a configuration of a display system 1000.

[0015] The display system 1000 is a system in which a terminal device 1 displays information related to a temperature and humidity of target space SP. The target space SP is space in which a sensor 2 detects a temperature and humidity and is internal space of a building H, that is, indoor space.

[0016] The sensor 2 is one example of a "detection unit".

[0017] The display system 1000 includes the sensor 2.

[0018] The sensor 2, which is a sensor that detects a temperature and humidity, is provided within the target space SP. If the sensor 2 detects the temperature and the humidity of the target space SP with a predetermined period (for example, with a period of five minutes), the sensor 2 transmits detection data D1 to a server device 3 every time the temperature and the humidity are detected. The detection data D1 includes a detection value of the temperature of the target space SP and a detection value of the humidity of the target space SP. A sensor ID (identification) that uniquely specifies the sensor 2 is added to the detection data D1. Note that the sensor 2 may communicate with the server device 3 connected to a network NW via a local network constructed in the building H or may communicate with the server device 3 without passing through the local network. The network NW includes the Internet, a telephone network and other communication networks.

[0019] The display system 1000 includes an indoor unit 4.

[0020] The indoor unit 4 constitutes an air conditioning device with an exterior unit (not illustrated) and performs air conditioning of the target space SP. While a ceiling cassette indoor unit is exemplified as the indoor unit 4 of the present embodiment, a type of the indoor unit 4 may be other types such as a wall-mounted type or a ceiling hanging type. The indoor unit 4 communicates with the server device 3. Note that the indoor unit 4 includes a temperature sensor that detects a temperature of the target space SP and can control the temperature of the target space SP to be a temperature designated by the server device 3 on the basis of a detection value by the temperature sensor.

[0021] The indoor unit 4 is one example of a "temperature control device".

[0022] The indoor unit 4 transmits first status data D2 to the server device 3 with a predetermined period. In the first status data D2, which is data indicating a state of the air conditioning device, whether or not the air conditioning device is in operation is recorded. An indoor unit ID that uniquely specifies the indoor unit 4 is added to the first status data D2. Note that the indoor unit 4 may communicate with the server device 3 connected to the network NW via the local network constructed in the building H or may communicate with the server device 3 without passing through the local network.

[0023] The display system 1000 includes an air purification device 5.

[0024] The air purification device 5 discharges air including hypochlorous acid by making sucked air pass through a filter impregnated with a hypochlorite solution. The air to be discharged by the air purification device 5 has a sterilization effect, a deodorizing effect, and the like. The air purification device 5 of the present embodiment is a ceiling-embedded device and discharges hypochlorous acid from an outlet IH through a duct. Note that a type of the air purification device 5 is not limited to a ceiling-embedded type and may be other types such as a floor-standing type standing within the target space SP. Note that the air purification device 5 includes a humidity sensor that detects humidity of the target space SP and can control the humidity of the target space SP to be humidity designated by the server device 3 on the basis of a detection value by the humidity sensor. The air purification device 5 is one example of a "humidity control device".

[0025] The air purification device 5 transmits second status data D3 to the server device 3 with a predetermined period. In the second status data D3, which is data indicating a state of the air purification device 5, whether or not hypochlorous acid is being discharged, that is, whether or not the air purification device 5 is in operation is recorded. A purification device ID that uniquely specifies the air purification device 5 is added to the second status data D3. Note that the air purification device 5 may communicate with the server device 3 connected to the network NW via the local network constructed in the building H or may communicate with the server device 3 without passing through the local network.

[0026] The display system 1000 includes a ventilation device 6.

[0027] The ventilation device 6 is provided in the building H. The ventilation device 6 includes a blast fan 61, and a fan motor 62 that drives the blast fan 61. The ventilation device 6 supplies or discharges air to/from the target space SP by the blast fan 61 and the fan motor 62. A ceiling-embedded device is exemplified as the ventilation device 6 of the present embodiment. Note that a type of the ventilation device 6 is not limited to a ceiling-embedded type and may be other types such as a duct shape that allows the target space SP to be communicated with outside of the building H. Further, the ventilation device 6 may include a filter that collects dust, particles, virus droplets, aerosols, and the like. Note that an air exhaust port or an air supply port is provided in the target space SP so as to correspond to air supply or air exhaustion of the ventilation device 6. Note that the ventilation device 6 includes a humidity sensor that detects humidity of the target space SP and can control the humidity of the target space SP to be humidity designated by the server device 3 on the basis of a detection value by the humidity sensor.

[0028] The ventilation device 6 is one example of a "humidity control device".

[0029] The ventilation device 6 transmits third status data D4 to the server device 3 with a predetermined period. In the third status data D4, which is data indicating a state of the ventilation device 6, whether or not ventilation is being performed, that is, whether or not the ventilation device 6 is in operation is recorded. A ventilation device ID that uniquely specifies the ventilation device 6 is added to the third status data D4. Note that the ventilation device 6 may communicate with the server device 3 connected to the network NW via the local network constructed in the building H or may communicate with the server device 3 without passing through the local network.

[0030] Hereinafter, in a case where the indoor unit 4, the air purification device 5 and the ventilation device 6 are not distinguished from each other, they will be referred to as an "air conditioner 7" as appropriate.

[0031] The display system 1000 includes the terminal device 1.

[0032] In the present embodiment, a device including a touch panel 12 is exemplified as the terminal device 1. Note that examples of the terminal device 1 of the present embodiment can include a smartphone and a tablet computer. An application program for displaying information related to the temperature and the humidity of the target space SP is installed in the terminal device 1. In the following description, this application program will be referred to as a "display application 111". The terminal device 1 communicates with the server device 3 by a function of the display application 111.

[0033] The display application 111 is one example of a "program".

[0034] The display system 1000 includes the server device 3.

[0035] The server device 3 is a device that performs information processing using the sensor 2, the indoor unit 4, the air purification device 5, the ventilation device 6 and the terminal device 1 as clients. The server device 3 is connected to the network NW and communicates with these clients. Note that while the server device 3 is expressed with one block in the respective drawings, this does not necessarily mean that the server device 3 is constituted with a single device.

The display panel displays various kinds of information under control by the terminal control device 10. The touch sensor detects touch operation and outputs a detection signal to the terminal control device 10. The terminal control device 10 executes processing corresponding to the touch operation on the basis of input from the touch sensor.

[0070] The terminal processor 100 functions as a terminal communication control unit 101, a display control unit 102, and an acceptance unit 103 by reading out and executing the display application 111 stored in the terminal memory 110.

[0071] The terminal communication control unit 101 communicates with the server device 3 via the terminal communication unit 11.

[0072] The display control unit 102 displays a user interface that displays information related to the temperature and the humidity of the target space SP using the touch panel 12. In the following description, this user interface will be referred to as an "application III 120".

[0073] The acceptance unit 103 accepts various kinds of operation from a user P via the application UI 120.

[1-1-4. Configuration of application UI]

[0074] The application III 120 will be described next.

[0075] FIG. 4 is a view illustrating one example of the application UI 120.

[0076] FIG. 4 indicates an upward direction in the drawing as upward with a reference symbol UP, indicates a downward direction in the drawing as downward with a reference symbol DW, indicates a leftward direction in the drawing as leftward with a reference symbol L, and indicates a rightward direction in the drawing as rightward with a reference symbol R.

[0077] The application Ul 120 has a first region A1, a second region A2, and a third region A3. While in FIG. 4, the first region A1, the second region A2 and the third region A3 are arranged in a vertical direction, an arrangement aspect of the first region A1 to the third region A3 is not limited to the aspect illustrated in FIG. 4.

[0078] The first region A1 is a region for setting display content of the third region A3 to display content in a case where priority is given to comfort of the target space SP or display content in a case where priority is given to energy saving of the air conditioner 7. The first region A1 has a first icon IC1 and a second icon IC2. The first icon IC1 is an icon for setting display content of the third region A3 to display content in a case where priority is given to comfort of the target space SP. The second icon IC2 is an icon for setting the display content of the third region A3 to display content in a case where priority is given to energy saving. Color of the first icon IC1 and the second icon IC2 may change in a case where the icons are selected through touch operation.

[0079] Hereinafter, in a case where the first icon IC1 and the second icon IC2 are not distinguished from each other, they will be expressed to as an "icon IC".

[0080] The second region A2 is a region indicating the operating air conditioner 7. The second region A2 indicates which is the operating air conditioner 7 by displaying an air conditioner image KG. In the second region A2 illustrated in FIG. 4, an air conditioner image KG1 indicating the indoor unit 4, an air conditioner image KG2 indicating the air purification device 5, and an air conditioner image KG3 indicating the ventilation device 6 are displayed. Thus, the second region A2 illustrated in FIG. 4 indicates that the indoor unit 4, the air purification device 5 and the ventilation device 6 are in operation. Note that the second region A2 may indicate the operating air conditioner 7 by displaying air conditioner images KG of the respective air conditioners 7 and making color of the air conditioner images KG different.

[0081] The third region A3 is a region indicating a sensation as to how a human feels the temperature and the humidity of the target space SP.

[0082] In the third region A3, a matrix chart MD is displayed. The matrix chart MD is a view in which a thermal sensation is set on a first axis, and a dry and wet sensation is set on a second axis. The first axis is an axis extending in a horizontal direction in the drawing of FIG. 4. In other words, the first axis is an axis extending in a short direction of the application UI 120. The second axis is an axis extending in a vertical direction of the drawing of FIG. 4. In other words, the second axis is an axis extending in a longitudinal direction of the application UI 120.

[0083] In the third region A3, information J1 indicating that the humidity is high is displayed at one end of the first axis, above the matrix chart MD. In FIG. 4, the information J1 is a character string of "wet".

[0084] Further, in the third region A3, information J2 indicating that the humidity is low is displayed at the other end of the first axis, below the matrix chart MD. In FIG. 4, the information J2 is a character string of "dry".

[0087] In the third region A3, a rectangular recommended range SA is displayed in a superimposed manner on the matrix chart MD. The recommended range SA is a range indicating a thermal sensation and a dry and wet sensation recommended in the target space SP. The recommended range SA is a range in which a human in the target space SP feels comfortable and is determined in advance through test, simulation, or the like, performed in advance. The recommended range SA of the present embodiment is a range in accordance with a season at the time when the application UI 120 is displayed. Further, the recommended range SA of the present embodiment is a range in accordance with the icon IC that is being selected in the first region A1.

[0088] Note that a shape of the recommended range SA is not limited to a rectangle and may be other shapes such as a circle, an ellipse and a triangle.

[0089] In the third region A3, a first object OB1 is displayed in a superimposed manner on the matrix chart MD. The first object OB1 is an object indicating a portion on the matrix chart MD, the portion corresponding to the temperature and the humidity of the target space SP most recently detected by the sensor 2. While a case is illustrated in FIG. 4 where the first object OB1 is an arrow object, a picture and a shape of the first object OB1 are not limited to the picture and the shape illustrated in FIG. 4.

[0090] The third region A3 accepts selection of an arbitrary portion in the matrix chart MD. If an arbitrary portion is selected in the matrix chart MD, a second object OB2 is displayed at the selected arbitrary portion in the third region A3. While a case is illustrated in FIG. 4 where the second object OB2 is a circular object, a picture and a shape of the second object OB2 are not limited to the picture and the shape illustrated in FIG. 4. If an arbitrary portion is selected in the matrix chart MD, an arbitrary portion image NG is displayed in the third region A3 along with display of the second object OB2. The arbitrary portion image NG is an image indicating a temperature and humidity corresponding to the arbitrary portion selected in the matrix chart MD. While a case is illustrated in FIG. 4 where the arbitrary portion image NG is a balloon image, a picture and a shape of the arbitrary portion image NG are not limited to the picture and the shape illustrated in FIG. 4. Note that the arbitrary portion image NG may be hidden after a predetermined period has elapsed since start of display.

[0091] In the third region A3, information J5 indicating a current temperature and humidity of the target space SP is displayed. More specifically, in the third region A3, information J5 indicating the temperature and the humidity of the target space SP most recently detected by the sensor 2 is displayed.

[1-2. Operation]

[0092] Operation of respective units of the display system 1000 will be described next.

[1-2-1. Operation related to detection by sensor]

[0093] First, operation related to detection by the sensor 2 will be described.

[0094] FIG. 5 is a flowchart indicating operation of the sensor 2 and the server device 3.

[0095] In FIG. 5, a flowchart FA indicates the operation of the sensor 2, and a flowchart FB indicates the operation of the server device 3.

[0096] As indicated in the flowchart FA, the sensor 2 determines whether or not the predetermined period for detecting the temperature and the humidity of the target space SP has come (step SA1).

[0097] In a case where the sensor 2 determines that the predetermined period for detecting the temperature and the humidity of the target space SP has come (step SA1: Yes), the sensor 2 detects the temperature and the humidity of the target space SP (step SA2).

[0098] Step SA2 is one example of a "detection step".

[0099] Then, the sensor 2 transmits the detection data D1 in which the temperature and the humidity detected in step SA2 are recorded to the server device 3 (step SA3).

[0100] As indicated in the flowchart FB, the server communication control unit 301 receives the detection data D1 from the sensor 2 (step SB1).

[0101] Then, the updating unit 302 updates the detection data D1 of the record R1 to the detection data D1 received in step SB1 (step SB2).

[1-2-2. Operation in a case where display of application UI is started]

[0102] First, operation in a case where display of the application UI 120 is started will be described.

[0103] FIG. 6 is a flowchart indicating operation of the terminal device 1 and the server device 3. In FIG. 6, a flowchart FC indicates the operation of the terminal device 1, and a flowchart FD indicates the operation of the server device 3.

[0104] As indicated in the flowchart FC, the terminal communication control unit 101 transmits first request information to the server device 3 (step SC1). Step SC1 is started by being triggered by, for example, start of the display application 111.

[0105] The first request information is information for requesting data related to start of display of the application UI 120. The space ID is added to the first request information. Note that the space ID is input to the terminal device 1 at a predetermined timing such as when the display application 111 is installed.

[0106] As indicated in the flowchart FD, the server communication control unit 301 receives the first request information from the terminal device 1 (step SD1).

[0107] Then, the server communication control unit 301 reads out the record R1 having the space ID added to the received first request information from the first management DB 312 (step SD2).

[0108] Then, the server communication control unit 301 transmits the record R1 read out in step SD2 to the terminal device 1 (step SD3).

[0109] As indicated in the flowchart FC, the terminal communication control unit 101 receives the record R1 from the server device 3 (step SC2).

[0110] Then, the display control unit 102 displays the application UI 120 on the basis of the record R1 received in step SC2 (step SC3).

[0111] Step SC3 is one example of a "display step".

[0112] Step SC3 will be described in detail.

[0113] The display control unit 102 displays the first icon IC1 and the second icon IC2 in the first region A1.

[0114] In a case where the first status data D2 of the record R1 indicates "in operation", the display control unit 102 displays the air conditioner image KG1 in the second region A2. On the other hand, in a case where the first status data D2 of the record R1 does not indicate "in operation", the display control unit 102 does not display the air conditioner image KG1 in the second region A2.

[0115] In a case where the second status data D3 of the record R1 indicates "in operation", the display control unit 102 displays the air conditioner image KG2 in the second region A2. On the other hand, in a case where the second status data D3 of the record R1 does not indicate "in operation", the display control unit 102 does not display the air conditioner image KG2 in the second region A2.

[0116] In a case where the third status data D4 of the record R1 indicates "in operation", the display control unit 102 displays the air conditioner image KG3 in the second region A2. In a case where the third status data D4 of the record R1 does not indicate "in operation", the display control unit 102 does not display the air conditioner image KG3 in the second region A2.

[0117] Further, step SC3 will be described in detail.

[0118] The display control unit 102 displays the matrix chart MD and each of the information J1 to the information J4 in the third region A3.

[0119] The display control unit 102 displays the first object OB1 at a portion on the matrix chart MD, the portion corresponding to the temperature and the humidity recorded in the detection data D1 of the record R1. Note that a correspondence relationship between the temperature and the humidity, and a position on the matrix chart MD is determined in advance. Then, the display control unit 102 acquires data of the correspondence relationship at a predetermined timing and displays the first object OB1 on the basis of the correspondence relationship indicated by the acquired data.

[0120] The display control unit 102 displays the information J5 indicating the temperature and the humidity recorded in the detection data D1 of the record R1 in the third region A3.

[0121] Further, step SC3 will be described in detail.

[0122] The display control unit 102 displays the recommended range SA in a superimposed manner on the matrix chart MD in the third region A3. The display control unit 102 determines a range of the recommended range SA upon display of the recommended range SA. The terminal device 1 acquires information indicating a current season through communication with the server device 3, communication with a weather server, a correspondence relationship between current date and seasons, or the like. Then, the display control unit 102 determines a range corresponding to the current season indicated by the acquired information and corresponding to a case where the first icon IC1 is selected as the recommended range SA. Note that in step SA3, the display control unit 102 may determine a range corresponding to the acquired current season and corresponding to a case where the second icon IC2 is selected as the recommended range SA.

[0123] Here, the recommended range SA in a case where the first icon IC1 is selected and the recommended range SA in a case where the second icon IC2 is selected are determined in advance for each type of season. Further, the display control unit 102 determines the recommended range SA corresponding to the season and each type of the icon IC using the recommended ranges SA determined in advance. Note that data indicating which recommended range SA corresponds to the season and each type of the icon IC is acquired by the terminal device 1 at a predetermined timing.

[1-2-3. Operation related to updating of display content of application UI]

[0124] Operation related to updating of display content of the application III 120 will be described next.

[0125] FIG. 7 is a flowchart indicating operation of the terminal device 1 and the server device 3. In FIG. 7, a flowchart FE indicates the operation of the terminal device 1, and a flowchart FF indicates the operation of the server device 3.

[0126] As indicated in the flowchart FE, the terminal communication control unit 101 transmits second request information to the server device 3 (step SE1). Step SE1 is started by being triggered by, for example, elapse of a predetermined period since display of the application UI was started, elapse of a predetermined period since display content of the application III 120 was updated last time, or the like.

[0127] The second request information is information for requesting data related to updating of the display content of the application UI 120. The space ID of the target space SP is added to the second request information.

[0128] As indicated in the flowchart FF, the server communication control unit 301 receives the second request information from the terminal device 1 (step SF1).

[0129] Then, the server communication control unit 301 reads out the record R1 having the space ID added to the received second request information from the first management DB 312 (step SF2).

[0130] Then, the server communication control unit 301 transmits the record R1 read out in step SF2 to the terminal device 1 (step SF3).

[0131] As indicated in the flowchart FE, the terminal communication control unit 101 receives the record R1 from the server device 3 (step SE2).

[0132] Then, the display control unit 102 updates the display content of the application UI 120 on the basis of the record R1 received in step SE2 (step SE3).

[0133] Step SE3 is one example of a "display step".

[0134] Step SE3 will be described in detail.

[0135] The display control unit 102 performs processing similar to the processing in step SC3 for the air conditioner image KG.

[0136] The display control unit 102 displays the first object OB1 at a portion on the matrix chart MD, the portion corresponding to the temperature and the humidity recorded in the detection data D1 of the record R1.

[0137] The display control unit 102 displays the information J5 indicating the temperature and the humidity recorded in the detection data D1 of the record R1 in the third region A3.

[0138] The display control unit 102 acquires a current season and determines a range corresponding to the acquired current season and corresponding to the icon IC currently selected in the first region A1 as the range of the recommended range SA. Then, the display control unit 102 displays the recommended range SA indicating the determined range in the third region A3.

[1-2-4. Operation in a case where touch operation is performed in application UI]

[0139] Operation in a case where touch operation is performed in the application III 120 will be described next.

[0140] First, operation related to selection of the icon IC in the first region A1 will be described.

[0141] FIG. 8 is a flowchart FG indicating operation of the terminal device 1.

[0142] The display control unit 102 determines whether the acceptance unit 103 accepts touch operation of selecting the first icon IC1, or the acceptance unit 103 accepts touch operation of selecting the second icon IC2 (step SG1).

[0143] In a case where the display control unit 102 determines that the acceptance unit 103 accepts the touch operation of selecting the first icon IC1 (step SG1: first icon), the display control unit 102 changes the recommended range SA that is being displayed to the recommended range SA corresponding to the current season and a case where the first icon IC1 is selected (step SG2).

[0144] On the other hand, in a case where the display control unit 102 determines that the acceptance unit 103 accepts the touch operation of selecting the second icon IC2 (step SG1: second icon), the display control unit 102 changes the recommended range SA that is being displayed to the recommended range SA corresponding to the current season and a case where the second icon IC2 is selected (step SG3).

[0145] Operation in a case where an arbitrary portion is selected in the matrix chart MD will be described next.

[0146] FIG. 9 is a flowchart indicating operation of the terminal device 1 and the server device 3. In FIG. 9, a flowchart FH indicates the operation of the terminal device 1, and a flowchart FI indicates the operation of the server device 3.

[0147] As indicated in the flowchart FH, the display control unit 102 determines whether or not the acceptance unit 103 accepts selection of an arbitrary portion in the matrix chart MD (step SH1).

[0148] In a case where the display control unit 102 determines that the acceptance unit 103 accepts selection of an arbitrary portion in the matrix chart MD (step SH1: Yes), the display control unit 102 displays the second object OB2 at the arbitrary portion and displays the corresponding arbitrary portion image NG at the arbitrary portion (step SH2).

[0149] Then, the terminal communication control unit 101 transmits third request information to the server device 3 (step SH3). The third request information is information for requesting control of the air conditioner 7 so that the temperature corresponding to the selected arbitrary portion reaches a set temperature, and the humidity corresponding to the selected arbitrary portion reaches set humidity. The space ID of the target space SP is added to the third request information.

[0150] As indicated in the flowchart Fl, the server communication control unit 301 receives the third request information from the terminal device 1 (step SI1).

[0151] Then, the server communication control unit 301 controls the air conditioner 7 on the basis of the third request information (step SI2).

[0152] Step SI2 is one example of a "control step".

[0153] Step SI2 will be described in detail.

[0154] For example, in step SI2, the server communication control unit 301 transmits first control instruction information to the indoor unit 4. The first control instruction information is information that gives an instruction to control the temperature of the target space SP to be the temperature recorded in the third request information received in step SI1. The server communication control unit 301 reads out the record R2 having the space ID added to the third request information from the second management DB 313 and transmits the first control instruction information on the basis of the first communication information of the read out record R2. If the indoor unit 4 receives the first control instruction information, the indoor unit 4 performs air conditioning so that the temperature of the target space SP reaches the temperature instructed in the received first control instruction information.

[0155] Further, for example, in step SI2, the server communication control unit 301 transmits second control instruction information to the air purification device 5. The second control instruction information is information that gives an instruction to control the humidity of the target space SP to be the humidity recorded in the third request information received in step SI1. The server communication control unit 301 reads out the record R2 having the space ID added to the third request information from the second management DB 313 and transmits the second control instruction information on the basis of the second communication information of the read out record R2. If the air purification device 5 receives the second control instruction information, the air purification device 5 performs air conditioning so that the humidity of the target space SP reaches the humidity instructed in the received second control instruction information.

[0156] Further, for example, in step SI2, the server communication control unit 301 transmits third control instruction information to the ventilation device 6. The third control instruction information is information that gives an instruction to control the set humidity of the target space SP to be the humidity recorded in the third request information received in step SI1. The server communication control unit 301 reads out the record R2 having the space ID added to the third request information from the second management DB 313 and transmits the third control instruction information on the basis of the third communication information of the read out record R2. If the ventilation device 6 receives the third control instruction information, the ventilation device 6 performs air conditioning so that the humidity of the target space SP reaches the humidity instructed in the received third control instruction information.

[0158] According to this, it is possible to allow a user to intuitively grasp whether it is warm in the target space SP, it is cool in the target space SP, it is wet in the target space SP, or it is dry in the target space SP. It is therefore possible to allow a user to intuitively grasp a state within the target space SP as human sensations.

It is therefore possible to allow a user to easily grasp how much degree the temperature and the humidity of the target space SP should be set to obtain a desired thermal sensation and dry and wet sensation.

[0161] In the display step, the recommended range SA that is a range of the thermal sensation and the dry and wet sensation recommended in the target space SP is displayed in the matrix chart MD.

[0162] According to this, it is possible to allow a user to easily grasp whether or not the temperature and the humidity of the target space SP are within the recommended range of the thermal sensation and the dry and wet sensation. It is therefore possible to allow a user to easily grasp whether or not it is desirable to change the temperature and the humidity of the target space SP.

[0163] The recommended range SA is a range in accordance with seasons.

[0168] According to this, the temperature and the humidity of the target space SP can be changed to the temperature and the humidity corresponding to the selected thermal sensation and dry and wet sensation. It is therefore possible to change the thermal sensation and the dry and wet sensation of the target space SP to a desired thermal sensation and dry and wet sensation.

[0169] The display system 1000 includes the sensor 2 that detects a temperature of the target space SP and humidity of the target space SP, and the display control unit 102 that displays a portion corresponding to the temperature and the humidity detected by the sensor 2 in the matrix chart MD in which a thermal sensation is set on a first axis, and a dry and wet sensation is set on a second axis.

Further, a new embodiment can be obtained by combining the components described in the first embodiment described above. Thus, other embodiments will be described below.

[0176] In the first embodiment described above, the recommended range SA is a range different in accordance with seasons. In another embodiment, in place of seasons, ranges different in accordance with outdoor temperatures may be set as the recommended range SA. In a case of the other embodiment, the display control unit 102 acquires an outdoor temperature through communication with the server device 3, or the like, and makes the recommended range SA different in accordance with the acquired outdoor temperature.

[0177] In another embodiment, the recommended range SA may be made different in accordance with whether the indoor unit 4 performs cooling operation or heating operation.

In the other embodiment, a second recommended range SA having a size smaller than a size of a first recommended range SA is displayed in a superimposed manner on the first recommended range SA so that the second recommended range SA is completely within the first recommended range SA, in other words, part of the second recommended range SA does not go outside of the first recommended range SA. In the other embodiment, the recommended range SA having a smaller size indicates the recommended range SA for which a degree of recommendation is higher.

[0185] While in the first embodiment described above, the indoor unit 4 has been exemplified as the "temperature control device", the "temperature control device" is not limited to the indoor unit 4 and only requires to be a device that can control the temperature of the target space SP. For example, the "temperature control device" may be a heater, the ventilation device 6, or the like. Further, while in the first embodiment described above, the air purification device 5 and the ventilation device 6 have been exemplified as the "humidity control device", the "humidity control device" is not limited to the air purification device 5 and the ventilation device 6 and only requires to be a device that can control humidity of the target space SP. For example, the "humidity control device" may be a dehydrator, a humidifier, or the like.

In another embodiment, the first axis may be set to an axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the application III 120, and the second axis may be set to an axis extending in the short direction of the application III 120.

In another embodiment, other sensations may be set on at least one of the first axis or the second axis. For example, a cleanliness sensation, a wind speed sensation, or the like, may be set on at least one of the first axis or the second axis. The cleanliness sensation is a sensation of a degree of cleanliness felt by a human. The wind speed sensation is a sensation of strength of wind felt by a human.

In another embodiment, the thermal sensation and the dry and wet sensation may be calculated on the basis of the temperature and the humidity detected by the sensor 2, and a portion corresponding to the calculated thermal sensation and dry and wet sensation may be displayed in the matrix chart MD.

[0191] The terminal processor 100 and the server processor 300 may be constituted with a single processor or may be constituted with a plurality of processors. These processors may be hardware programmed to implement corresponding functional units. In other words, these processors may be constituted with, for example, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a field programmable gate array (FPGA).

[0192] The configurations of the terminal device 1 and the server device 3 illustrated in FIG. 2 are one example, and specific implementation forms are not particularly limited. In other words, hardware that individually corresponds to respective units does not necessarily have to be mounted, and functions of the respective units may be implemented by one processor executing programs. Further, part of the functions to be implemented by software in the above-described embodiments may be implemented by hardware or part of the functions to be implemented by hardware may be implemented by software.

[0193] Steps of the operation indicated in FIG. 5 to FIG. 8 are obtained by dividing the operation in accordance with main processing content to facilitate understanding of the operation, and the operation is not limited by a way of division or a name of the processing unit. The operation may be divided into more steps in accordance with the processing content. Further, the operation may be divided so that one step includes more kinds of processing. Further, the order of the steps may be replaced as appropriate within a range not deviating from the gist of the present disclosure.
