  • Patent number: 11976834
    Abstract: An air conditioner includes an adapter including a control unit that controls the air conditioner using a learning model and a communication unit that communicates with a server device that generates the learning model on the basis of operation history data of the air conditioner. The adapter includes an acquisition unit, a determination unit, an erasing unit, and a transmission unit. The acquisition unit acquires the data every predetermined cycle from the air conditioner. The determination unit determines whether or not an amount of change between temporally continuous data of the data acquired by the acquisition unit is within a predetermined range. The erasing unit leaves at least one of the continuous data and deletes the other data in a case where the amount of change between the continuous data is within the predetermined range. The transmission unit transmits the data after being deleted to the server device.
