Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an air-conditioning system that controls an environmental
factor variable device to perform air-conditioning.
Background Art
[0002] There have been conventional air-conditioning systems that include an input unit
capable of receiving at least one of information on a human body factor (age, body
height, body weight, sex, past medical history, amount of clothing, amount of work,
tiredness, etc.) determining the comfort of a user, information on the user's life
pattern and time, and information on the building (cooling and heating loads, ventilation
frequency, geometric factors, location conditions, etc.), an environmental factor
detection unit that detects at least one of environmental factors (temperature, humidity,
radiation temperature, air velocity, amount of light, sound volume, amount of airborne
dust, and concentration of a specific gas) determining the comfort of the user, an
integrated circuit (IC) card that calculates and stores a target value from a signal
from the input unit and a signal from the environmental factor detection unit, an
environmental factor variable device that has at least one of, for example, a heating
element, a heat absorber, a fan, a dehumidifier or a humidifier, a light source, a
sound source, a dust remover, and an absorber or generator of a particular gas, a
control unit that controls the environmental factor variable device by the difference
between the detection signal from the environmental factor detection unit and the
target value stored in the IC card, and a mediation unit that enables attachment and
removal of the IC card and mediates communication between the input unit, the environmental
factor detection unit, the control unit and the IC card (see, for example,
JP H08-16538).
[0003] JP H08-16538 described that the target value is calculated with the IC card based on the signal
from the input unit and the signal from the environmental factor detection unit, the
value is stored in the IC card, and the control unit controls the environmental factor
variable device according to the difference between the signal from the environmental
factor detection unit and the target value stored in the IC card, thereby controlling
the environment to be comfortable.
[0004] JP S62 268945 A refers to the need of ensuring that set points for obtaining a comfortable environmental
condition for each user can be automatically set when using the controller, by storing
the set points on the basis of each environment controller used.
JP S62 268944 A also refers to the need of ensuring that set points for obtaining a comfortable environmental
condition for each user can be automatically set when using the controller, by storing
the set points in an IC card.
Technical Problem
[0005] To achieve comfort of an environment, a need may arise, for example, for a plurality
of environmental factors such as an air temperature and a radiation temperature to
be controlled within a comfort range. Unfortunately,
JP H08-16538 describes that only one environmental factor variable device is controlled, so that
the plurality of environmental factors cannot be controlled within the comfort range,
resulting in comfort being impaired.
[0006] The present invention has been made to solve the above problem and it is an object
of the present invention to provide an air-conditioning system that is capable of
improving comfort without impairing the same.
Solution to Problem
[0007] The problem is solved by an air-conditioning system according to claim 1. An air-conditioning
system includes an input unit that receives at least information on a human body factor,
which is an element for identifying a person, and an operation mode, a plurality of
variable devices each of which changes an environmental factor, which is an element
for identifying an environment, and a control unit that controls the plurality of
variable devices based on the information received at the input unit and causes a
plurality of the environmental factors to be within a comfort range.
Advantageous Effects of Invention
[0008] The air-conditioning system according to the present invention is capable of controlling
a plurality of environmental factors within a comfort range by controlling a plurality
of variable devices, and can thus improve comfort without impairing the same.

Description of Embodiments
[0010] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to
the drawings. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the
embodiments described below. In the drawings below, the dimensional relationships
between each of the components may vary from actual relationships. The following "user(s)"
are those who use the air-conditioning system. The following "current user(s)" are
people who are about to use or are using the air-conditioning system among the users.
Embodiment 1.
[0011] Fig. 1 is a block diagram of an air-conditioning system according to Embodiment 1
of the present invention. The air-conditioning system according to Embodiment 1 is
for air-conditioning a space to be air-conditioned and includes a console display
terminal 1, an environmental factor detection unit 2, an information collection unit
3, and a plurality of environmental factor variable devices 4. Air-conditioning herein
includes, for example, heating, cooling, dehumidification, humidification, and air
purification.
[0012] The console display terminal 1 is a communication device having a display unit and
an input unit and into which are entered information on a human body factor that determines
the comfort of a user and is an element identifying a person, that is, for example,
age, body height, body weight, sex, past medical history, amount of clothing, amount
of work, and tiredness, information on the user's life pattern and time, and information
on the building such as cooling and heating loads, ventilation frequency, geometric
factors, and location conditions. The console display terminal 1 is, for example,
a tablet, a remote control, a mobile phone, a smartphone, a personal computer, a television,
or a car navigation system.
[0013] The console display terminal 1 corresponds to an "input unit" and a "display unit"
of the present invention.
[0014] The environmental factor detection unit 2, singularly or in plurality, detects one
or more environmental factors that determine the comfort of the user and are elements
identifying an environment, that is, for example, temperature, humidity, radiation
temperature, air velocity, amount of light, sound volume, amount of airborne dust,
and concentration of a specific gas. The environmental factor detection unit 2 may
be a built-in sensor in the environmental factor variable devices 4.
[0015] The environmental factor detection unit 2 corresponds to a "detection unit" of one
embodiment of the present invention.
[0016] The information collection unit 3 has a storage unit and a control unit, and the
storage unit stores information on a comfort range corresponding to an environmental
factor for each human body factor. Comfort range herein is the range of an environmental
factor predetermined as being capable of maintaining a comfortable environment for
the user. In Embodiment 1, the storage unit stores at least the information on the
comfort range corresponding to an air temperature and a floor temperature for each
age (age group).
[0017] An optimum comfort range is selected based on the information from the console display
terminal 1, and a value within that comfort range is determined as a target value.
Each environmental factor variable device 4 is controlled according to the difference
between this target value and a value detected by the environmental factor detection
unit 2 so that the value detected by the environmental factor detection unit 2 reaches
the target value.
[0018] The information collection unit 3 corresponds to a "control unit" and a "storage
unit" of one embodiment of the present invention.
[0019] The environmental factor variable devices 4 are devices for changing the environmental
factors, such as a room air conditioner, a floor heating, a radiant cooling panel,
a dehumidifier, a humidifier, or an air purifier. In Embodiment 1, the plurality of
environmental factor variable devices 4 includes at least a room air conditioner 4a
that mainly changes the air temperature and a floor heating 4b that mainly changes
the floor temperature.
[0020] The environmental factor variable devices 4 correspond to "variable devices" of one
embodiment of the present invention.
[0021] In this configuration, various information including the human body factor and an
operation mode are entered into the console display terminal 1 by a (current) user,
and when a plurality of current environmental factors in the air-conditioned space
is detected by the environmental factor detection unit 2, the information collection
unit 3 refers to the comfort range in the storage unit based on the information from
the console display terminal 1 and the information from the environmental factor detection
unit 2, whereby values of the plurality of environmental factors that satisfy the
comfort of the current user are set as target values. The plurality of environmental
factor variable devices 4 are controlled according to differences between these target
values and the values detected by the environmental factor detection unit 2 to keep
the environment comfortable.
[0022] Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an initial registration screen displayed on a display
unit of the console display terminal 1 of the air-conditioning system according to
Embodiment 1 of the present invention, Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an operation mode
selection screen displayed on the display unit of the console display terminal 1 of
the air-conditioning system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and
Fig. 4 is a diagram showing a heating mode screen displayed on the display unit of
the console display terminal 1 of the air-conditioning system according to Embodiment
1 of the present invention.
[0023] A method of operation of the console display terminal 1 when performing an automatic
operation mode of the air-conditioning system according to Embodiment 1 will now be
described.
[0024] The air-conditioning system according to Embodiment 1 is provided with the automatic
operation mode, which is a mode for automatically controlling the environmental factor
variable devices 4 so that the environment is comfortable for the current user. This
automatic operation mode may be set at an initial setting or may be set for each operation
of the air-conditioning system.
[0025] When the automatic operation mode is selected, the initial registration screen shown
in Fig. 2 is displayed on the display unit of the console display terminal 1 and a
parameter of the human body factor that determines the comfort of the user is entered
according to the screen to register the parameter of the human body factor. In Embodiment
1, ages of three users, A, B, and C are registered as shown in Fig. 2. The registered
information on the human body factor is stored in the storage unit of the information
collection unit 3.
[0026] A predetermined default value may be set for the parameter of the human body factor
of the user prior to the initial registration. The initial registration screen shown
in Fig. 2 may be hidden when the initial registration has already been completed,
and the next screen may be displayed.
[0027] The operation mode selection screen as shown in Fig. 3 is then displayed, and the
operation mode is selected. In Embodiment 1, "heating" mode is selected. In Embodiment
1, the types of operation modes include, but are not limited to, "heating," "cooling,"
"dehumidification," "humidification," and "air purification" as shown in Fig. 3. Other
modes may be provided, or there may be less modes.
[0028] When the "heating" mode is selected, the heating mode screen as shown in Fig. 4 is
displayed. For the control unit, the value(s) of the environmental factor(s) that
satisfy the comfort of the current user are set as the target value(s) based on the
registered information on the human body factor and the information on the environmental
factors detected by the environmental factor detection unit 2.
[0029] In Embodiment 1, the environmental factors are the air temperature and the floor
temperature, and as shown in Fig. 4, the target values for the air temperature and
the floor temperature are set respectively to 20 degrees C and 28 degrees C to satisfy
the comfort of the current user.
[0030] It should be noted that a water temperature of the floor heating 4b, not the floor
temperature, may be set. Additionally, although in Fig. 4, images of the environmental
factor variable devices 4 to be operated, the air temperature, and the floor temperature
are displayed, other elements such as information detected by the environmental factor
detection unit 2 may also be displayed. The set target values may also be changed
by the current user.
[0031] Fig. 5 is a diagram showing the relationship between the floor temperature, air temperature,
and comfort ranges depending on age of the air-conditioning system according to Embodiment
1 of the present invention. The fine line in Fig. 5 indicates the change in the air
temperature and the floor temperature when the room air conditioner 4a is controlled
alone, and the bold lines therein indicate the changes in the air temperature and
the floor temperature when the room air conditioner 4a and the floor heating 4b are
controlled.
[0032] In Embodiment 1, the target values for the air temperature and the floor temperature
are determined by priority based on age. As shown in Fig. 5, the comfort range of
the air temperature and the floor temperature is different depending on age, requiring
the target values for the air temperature and the floor temperature to be determined
according to the age of the current user.
[0033] When the current user is young or all current users are young, values in the comfort
range for the young are determined as the target values, and when the current user
is old or all current users are old, values in the comfort range for the old are determined
as the target values. When the current users include both a young person and an old
person, an order of priority is determined in advance, and according to the priority,
the values in the comfort range of the higher priority are determined as the target
values.
[0034] In Embodiment 1, people in their thirties are young and people in their seventies
are old.
[0035] As a method for identifying the current user, for example, the current user may be
entered for each operation of the air-conditioning system, the current user may be
identified based on the life patterns (time table) of each user set in advance by
the user, or the current user may be identified by a person detection unit (image
sensor, infrared sensor, etc.) that is unitary or a person detection unit incorporated
into the environmental factor variable devices 4.
[0036] The method for identifying the current user is not limited to those described above.
[0037] When the room air conditioner 4a, which is one of the environmental factor variable
devices 4, is controlled alone, the air temperature and the floor temperature can
only be changed along the fine line shown in Fig. 5. In contrast, when the room air
conditioner 4a and the floor heating 4b, which are the environmental factor variable
devices 4, are controlled, the air temperature and floor temperature can be changed
along the bold lines shown in Fig. 5. The comfort range for when the plurality of
environmental factor variable devices 4 are controlled is thus greater than the comfort
range for when a single environmental factor variable device 4 is controlled. Consequently,
controlling the plurality of environmental factor variable devices 4 as in Embodiment
1 facilitates control of the environmental factors within the comfort range.
[0038] According to the differences between the target values determined as above and the
values detected by the environmental factor detection unit 2, the room air conditioner
4a and the floor heating 4b, which are the environmental factor variable devices 4,
are controlled so that the air temperature and the floor temperature detected by the
environmental factor detection unit 2 both reach the target values. This ensures that
the current user obtains a comfortable environment.
[0039] Fig. 6 is a diagram illustrating a method of determining the target values for the
air temperature and the floor temperature of the air-conditioning system according
to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
[0040] In Embodiment 1, the room air conditioner 4a and the floor heating 4b are controlled,
but since the room air conditioner 4a has a better operating efficiency compared with
the floor heating 4b, energy can be saved by keeping the environment comfortable by
increasing an operating ratio of the room air conditioner 4a as much as possible.
[0041] Points P in Fig. 6 indicate current air temperatures and floor temperatures (i.e.,
initial states) of the air-conditioned space detected by the environmental factor
detection unit 2, point Q indicates a position at which the operating ratio of the
room air conditioner 4a is the highest within the comfort range, and point R indicates
a position at which the operating ratio of the room air conditioner 4a is the lowest
within the comfort range.
[0042] When a floor temperature Tf0 of initial state point P is less than a floor temperature
Tf1 of point Q, the target point is point Q. Although it is necessary to operate both
the floor heating 4b and the room air conditioner 4a, the operating ratio of the room
air conditioner 4a can be increased as much as possible by setting the target to point
Q, thereby saving energy.
[0043] When the floor temperature Tf0 of the initial state point P is equal to or higher
than a floor temperature Tf2 of point R, the target point is point R. Since the floor
temperature is already high, there is no need to operate the floor heating 4b, and
heating only to a minimum necessary air temperature Ta1 is required by the room air
conditioner 4a alone. Setting the target point to point R thus enables a comfortable
state to be achieved by minimum power consumption.
[0044] When the floor temperature Tf0 of the initial state point P is equal to or higher
than Tf1 and less than Tf2, the target point is set to between point Q and point R.
For instance, the floor temperature of target point S is kept at the same temperature
as the floor temperature Tf0 of the initial state and only the air temperature is
raised. This eliminates the need of the floor heating 4b and only the room air conditioner
4a is operated, thus achieving comfort with minimum power consumption.
[0045] As described above, the air-conditioning system according to Embodiment 1 is capable
of improving comfort without impairing the same since the plurality of environmental
factors can be easily controlled within the comfort range by controlling the plurality
of environmental factor variable devices 4.
[0046] Energy savings can also be achieved by determining the target values of the environmental
factors such that the operating ratio of the environmental factor variable device
4 with greater power consumption among the plurality of environmental factor variable
devices 4 is reduced.
[0047] Although Embodiment 1 uses predetermined values for the comfort range, it should
not be limited thereto, and a learning function may be provided to change the values
based on the user's past use.
[0048] For instance, if the user always sets a higher temperature in the heating mode, the
comfort range may be changed to a value higher than the predetermined value, and conversely,
if the user always sets a lower temperature, the comfort range may be changed to a
value lower than the predetermined value.
Embodiment 2.
[0049] Embodiment 2 will now be described, but components identical to those of Embodiment
1 are not described and identical reference characters are used to refer to the same

wall temperature, air temperature, and comfort ranges depending on age of the air-conditioning
system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The fine line in Fig. 8
indicates the change in the air temperature and the wall temperature when the room
air conditioner 4a is controlled alone, and the bold lines therein indicate the changes
in the air temperature and the wall temperature when the room air conditioner 4a and
a radiant cooling panel 4c are controlled.

temperature and the radiant cooling panel 4c that mainly changes the wall temperature.
"Cooling" mode is selected as the operation mode.
[0052] In Embodiment 2, the target values for the air temperature and the wall temperature
are determined by priority based on age. As shown in Fig. 8, the comfort range of
the air temperature and the wall temperature is different depending on age, requiring
the target values for the air temperature and the wall temperature to be determined
according to the age of the current user.
[0053] When the current user is young or all the current users are young, values in the
comfort range for the young are determined as the target values, and when the current
user is old or all the current users are old, values in the comfort range for the
old are determined as the target values. When the current users include both a young
person and an old person, an order of priority is determined in advance, and according
to the priority, values in the comfort range of the higher priority are determined
as the target values.
[0054] In Embodiment 2, people in their thirties are young and people in their seventies
are old.
[0055] According to the differences between the target values determined as above and the

air conditioner 4a is controlled alone, and the bold lines therein indicate the changes
in the absolute humidity and the air temperature when the room air conditioner 4a
and a dehumidifier 4d are controlled.
[0058] In Embodiment 3, as shown in Fig. 9, the plurality of environmental factor variable
devices 4 includes at least the room air conditioner 4a that mainly changes the air
temperature and the dehumidifier 4d that mainly changes the absolute humidity. "Dehumidification"
mode is selected as the operation mode. The room air conditioner 4a may be the radiant
cooling panel 4c instead.
[0059] In Embodiment 3, the target values for the absolute humidity and the air temperature
are determined by priority based on sex. As shown in Fig. 10, the comfort range of
the absolute humidity and the air temperature is different depending on sex, requiring
the target values for the absolute humidity and the air temperature to be determined
according to the sex of the current user.
[0060] When the current user is a woman or all the current users are women, values in the
comfort range for women are determined as the target values, and when the current
user is a man or all the current users are men, values in the comfort range for men
are determined as the target values. When the current users include both a woman and
a man, an order of priority is determined in advance, and according to the priority,
values in the comfort range of the higher priority are determined as the target values.
[0061] According to the differences between the target values determined as above and the
values detected by the environmental factor detection unit 2, the room air conditioner
4a and the dehumidifier 4d, which are the environmental factor variable devices 4,
are controlled so that the environment is comfortable.

4 of the present invention, and Fig. 12 is a diagram showing the relationship between
absolute humidity, air temperature, and comfort ranges depending on sex of the air-conditioning
system according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. The fine line in Fig. 12
shows the change in the absolute humidity and the air temperature when the room air
conditioner 4a is controlled alone, and the bold lines therein show the changes in
the absolute humidity and the air temperature when the room air conditioner 4a and
a humidifier 4e are controlled.
[0065] In Embodiment 4, as shown in Fig. 11, the plurality of environmental factor variable
devices 4 includes at least the room air conditioner 4a that mainly changes the air
temperature and the humidifier 4e that mainly changes the absolute humidity. "Humidification"
mode is selected as the operation mode. The room air conditioner 4a may be the floor
heating 4b instead.
[0066] In Embodiment 4, the target values for the absolute humidity and the air temperature
are determined by priority based on sex. As shown in Fig. 12, the comfort range of
the absolute humidity and the air temperature is different depending on sex, requiring
the target values for the absolute humidity and the air temperature to be determined
according to the sex of the current user.
[0067] When the current user is a woman or all current users are women, values in the comfort
range for women are determined as the target values, and when the current user is
a man or all current users are men, values in the comfort range for men are determined
as the target values. When the current users include both a woman and a man, an order
of priority is determined in advance, and according to the priority, values in the
comfort range of the higher priority are determined as the target values.
[0068] According to the differences between the target values determined as above and the
values detected by the environmental factor detection unit 2, the room air conditioner
4a and the humidifier 4e, which are the environmental factor variable devices 4, are
controlled so that the environment is comfortable.
[0069] In Embodiment 4, as shown in Fig. 12, it is not possible to bring both of the absolute
humidity and the air temperature to values within the comfort range by controlling
the room air conditioner 4a alone.
Embodiment 5.
[0070] Embodiment 5 will now be described, but elements overlapping with those of Embodiment
1 are omitted and identical reference characters are used to refer to the same or
equivalent parts as Embodiment 1.
[0071] Fig. 13 is a block diagram of the air-conditioning system according to Embodiment
5 of the present invention, and Fig. 14 is a diagram showing the relationship between
wind velocity, dust concentration, and comfort ranges depending on physical constitution
of the air-conditioning system according to Embodiment 5 of the present invention.
The fine line in Fig. 14 indicates the change in the dust concentration and the wind
velocity when the room air conditioner 4a is controlled alone, and the bold lines
therein indicate the changes in the dust concentration and the wind velocity when

devices 4 includes at least the room air conditioner 4a that mainly changes the wind
velocity (sense of air flow, noise) and the air purifier 4f that mainly changes the
dust concentration. "Air purification" mode is selected as the operation mode.
[0073] In Embodiment 5, the target values for the wind velocity and the dust concentration
are determined by priority based on physical constitution. As shown in Fig. 14, the
comfort range of the wind velocity and the dust concentration is different depending
on the physical constitution, requiring the target values for the wind velocity and
the dust concentration to be determined according to the physical constitution of
the current user.
[0074] When the current user does not have hay fever or none of the current users have hay
fever, values in the comfort range for people without hay fever are determined as
the target values, and when the current user has hay fever or all of the current users
have hay fever, values in the comfort range for people with hay fever are determined
as the target values. When the current users include both a person without hay fever
and a person with hay fever, an order of priority is determined in advance, and according
to the priority, values in the comfort range of the higher priority are determined
as the target values.
[0075] According to the differences between the target values determined as above and the
values detected by the environmental factor detection unit 2, the room air conditioner
4a and the air purifier 4f, which are the environmental factor variable devices 4,
are controlled so that the environment is comfortable.
[0076] While Embodiments 1 to 5 have been described with reference to keeping the environment
comfortable by controlling two environmental factor variable devices 4, the combinations
of the two environmental factor variable devices 4 are not limited to those of the
combinations of Embodiments 1 to 5 and any suitable combination may be used.
[0077] While Embodiments 1 to 5 have been described with reference to keeping the environment
comfortable by controlling two environmental factor variable devices 4 to control
two environmental factors within the comfort range, they should not be limited thereto,
and the environment may be kept comfortable by controlling two or more (for example,
three) environmental factor variable devices 4 to control two or more (for example,
three) environmental factors within the comfort range.
