Publication number: 20170227940Abstract: A schedule data acquisition requestor requests and acquires schedule data from a sub controller. When a modification to the acquired schedule data is made, a schedule data update requestor sends the modified schedule data to the sub controller and requests an update. A schedule data update processor sends a permission notification to a main controller in response to the update request and writes the modified schedule data onto its own flash memory. Conversely, when a rejection notification is sent from the sub controller, the schedule data update requestor displays a warning message and new schedule data on a screen.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2014Publication date: August 10, 2017Inventors: Makoto KATSUKURA, Taichi ISHIZAKA

Patent number: 9122473Abstract: A terminal device that is this program generating device generates program area specifying information that specifies the placement area of an operating program executed by a remote control device. Also, on the basis of the program area specifying information and a program counter value of the remote control device, the terminal device appends a program specifying process that specifies the operating program executed by the remote control device to a measuring program that measures the execution state of the operating program. As a result, there is generated a measuring program that measures changes in the operating state of software in real time while reducing the effect on the operation of the software.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2011Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Makoto Katsukura, Masanori Nakata

Publication number: 20150088441Abstract: A power measure calculates, based on a current and a voltage measured at a predetermined location in a power supply line, active power and apparent power for each predetermined time period based on utilization of plural kinds of electric facilities connected to the power supply line. A data memory accumulates and stores data regarding the active power and the apparent power calculated by the power measure in a time-series manner. A variation detector analyzes data regarding the active power by what corresponds to a predetermined time period and stored in the data memory to detect a time slot at which there is an operation change in any one of the electric facilities. A distribution estimator calculates, when the variation detector detects the time slot, a power factor in the time slot, and estimates power consumption for each kind of the electric facilities in the time slot.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2011Publication date: March 26, 2015Applicant: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Masanori Nakata, Makoto Katsukura, Masaaki Yabe, Noriyuki Kushiro

Patent number: 8736631Abstract: The display color of, for example, a button image responsive to a command input into a facility operation display device is controlled by a palette value having a smaller number of bits than an RGB value. When the display color of the button image is changed, the palette value of a drawing object associated with the button image is changed to an RGB value. This eliminates the necessity of incorporating, for example, a high-performance CPU as a central arithmetic unit. In addition, it is not necessary to pre-store images corresponding to several kinds of display colors specified by RGB values, to thereby eliminates the necessity of incorporating, for example, a high-capacity storage medium in the facility operation display device. Accordingly, the device cost can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2010Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Takuya Mukai, Masanori Nakata, Yoshiaki Koizumi, Makoto Katsukura, Noriyuki Kushiro

Publication number: 20130328899Abstract: A DMA controller reads image information recorded on a ROM by address unit from a front reading start position. A shift operator shifts a first data sequence of one row of the reading by only a designated number of bits, and generates a second data sequence. A DMA controller reads a third data sequence already stored in a VRAM writing start position. A controller performs a prescribed operation on the second data sequence and the third data sequence, and generates a fourth data sequence. The controller writes the generated fourth data sequence successively in a horizontal direction by address unit from the VRAM writing start position.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2011Publication date: December 12, 2013Applicant: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Masanori Nakata, Noriyuki Kushiro, Makoto Katsukura, Yoshiaki Koizumi

Publication number: 20130293560Abstract: A DMA controller operates independently from a CPU, reads image data stored on an ROM sequentially in given units from the first reading start position of the image data and writes the image data into a buffer. A DMA controller operates independently from the CPU, writes the data read into the buffer to a VRAM one byte at a time from the writing start position. The controller of a companion chip updates the writing start position in the VRAM to the position of the same column in the next row each time writing the data string in each row is completed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2011Publication date: November 7, 2013Applicant: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Masanori Nakata, Noriyuki Kushiro, Makoto Katsukura, Yoshiaki Koizumi
