A controller stores an apparatus-room association table in which an apparatus installed in a home is associated with a room in the home, and stores a room-user association table in which the room in the home is associated with the user. The controller determines whether the user is inside the home, and updates a user status. When the user status changes, the controller determines the apparatus corresponding to the user whose user status has changed, and controls the determined apparatus to execute a predetermined process based on the apparatus-room association table and the room-user association table.

Home energy management and control system, controller, and method based on user occupancy and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium

In an appliance control system, a receiver receives, from a terminal device used by a first user, an instruction for remotely controlling an appliance installed in a home. A determiner determines whether a second user is present in a location in which an appliance-to-be-instructed is installed. When it is determined that the second user is not present in a location in which the appliance-to-be-instructed is installed, an appliance controller controls the appliance on the basis of the instruction. On the other hand, when it is determined that the second user is present in the location in which the appliance-to-be-instructed is installed, the appliance controller does not control the appliance.

A device information acquirer acquires device information collected by a controller. A floor plan editor edits a simplified floor plan of a home by individually adding a configuration of a room where an electric device is installed, in accordance with a user operation. A device icon positioner positions an icon of the electric device in each room in the floor plan edited by the floor plan editor, in accordance with the user operation. A layout generator generates layout information for the electric device in the home, based on the edited floor plan and the positioned icon.

An air-conditioning ventilation system of the present invention includes one or a plurality of air circulation devices configured to circulate air among a plurality of rooms, one or a plurality of air-conditioning apparatuses provided in at least one of the plurality of rooms, a human detector provided in each of the plurality of rooms and configured to detect a human present in a corresponding one of the rooms in which the human detector is provided, an optimal air-conditioning ventilation operation estimating unit configured to estimate presence or absence of any human in each of the plurality of rooms, or a human presence ratio representing a number of humans present per unit time in each of the plurality of rooms, on a basis of a past result of detection by the human detector, and a controller configured to control the air circulation device and the air-conditioning apparatus on a basis of a result of estimation by the optimal air-conditioning ventilation operation estimating unit.

Air-conditioning ventilation system

In an air-conditioning system, during precooling or preheating control, a setting temperature is controlled such that a first temperature difference between the setting temperature and an indoor temperature is not less than a temperature difference at which a compressor performs operation, and the setting temperature is controlled to be changed to a target temperature when a second temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the target temperature is less than the first temperature difference. Since the compressor can be operated in the range from a low capacity to a medium capacity, operation efficiency of the air-conditioning apparatus can be increased, and the energy-saving operation with less power consumption can be realized. Since the operation capacity of the compressor can be readily suppressed with adjustment of the setting temperature, control is facilitated and the precooling control can be incorporated in various types of air-conditioning apparatuses.

A controller of an in-home controller receives, via a terminal communicator, input data related to a manager registration transmitted from a terminal device. The controller performs a manager registration based on the received input data. Also, the controller generates user registration request data containing a user ID and a password extracted from the received input data, a controller ID read from data storage. The controller transmits the generated user registration request data to an external server via a wide-area communicator.

Home device, remote control system and program

A controller for controlling electrical devices in a dwelling is configured to display an energy-saving mode setting screen on a display that is a touch panel or the like in accordance with an operation by a user. Then, the controller is configured to receive a designation of a condition for an energy-saving control on the electrical devices in the dwelling on the energy-saving mode setting screen. Then, the controller is configured to set the respective energy-saving modes of the electrical devices via a home network based on the received condition.

The ventilation system is a system for ventilating a building and comprises an air supplier/exhauster comprising air supply function and exhaust function and a ventilation control device controlling the operation of the air supplier/exhauster. Upon operating the air supplier/exhauster, the ventilation control device determines which the air supplier/exhauster conducts, air supply operation or exhaust operation, based on wind information regarding the outdoor wind. The ventilation through the ventilation passage from the air supplier/exhauster to a vent provided in the building is conducted when the air supplier/exhauster conducts air supply operation. Alternatively, the ventilation through the ventilation passage from the vent to the air supplier/exhauster is conducted when the air supplier/exhauster conducts exhaust operation.

The total electric power that is supplied to a house, the electric power Pto Pthat is consumed by electrical equipment that is used in the house, and electric power that is generated by an electric power generatorare automatically displayed together with weather information WRthat indicates the weather every hour. As a result, a user is able to check the amount of electric power consumed by the electrical equipmentaccording to the weather, or check the amount of electric power that is generated according to the weather. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently operate the electrical equipmentaccording to the weather.
