Abstract: An indoor unit of an air conditioner includes a relay K2R switched by an indoor control circuit between an on state in which the relay K2R connects signal and power lines and an off state in which the relay K2R disconnects the signal and power lines. An outdoor unit of the air conditioner includes a relay K13R switched by an outdoor control circuit between an on state in which the relay K13R connects the outdoor control circuit to the AC power supply and an off state in which the relay K13R connects the outdoor control circuit to the signal line. The relay K2R is switched to the on state with the relay K13R in the off state. When the outdoor control circuit is started, the relay K13R is switched to the on state, and then the relay K2R is switched to the off state, thereby starting the outdoor unit.

Abstract: In an air conditioner, an auxiliary circuit configured to prevent a current flow in a power supply wiring in an operation stop period and to determine whether to adapt an outdoor unit to a unit that is able to transition to a standby mode, is provided on the power supply wiring.

Abstract: Disclosed are a color-designating server which can display a screen for designating color at a user terminal, which can be connected to a network, a color-designating method, and a recording medium. A matchable color database stores data required for determining matchable colors in a color-designating server which displays a screen for designating color at a user terminal. A conditions-designating processor transmits a conditions-designating screen for designating conditions data, required for determining the matchable colors, to the user terminal. A color data transmission processor determines colors which can be matched under the conditions specified by the conditions data, designated in the conditions-designating screen, by consulting the matchable color database, and transmits the result to the user terminal.

Abstract: This color designating server 11 displays a screen for designating color on a user terminal capable of connecting to a network. This server 11 includes a database 102 that contains information on dyes and pigments required for determining matchable colors, a conditions specification processing section 104 that transmits a conditions specification screen to the user terminal which prompts specification of condition information required for determining the matchable colors, a color information extraction section 115 that extracts matchable color data within the range of the conditions specified with the condition information from database 102 based on the condition information specified with the conditions specification screen, and a color information transmission section 105 that transmits a color plate that indicates the extracted color data to the user terminal in the form of image data superposed on a prescribed background color.
