  • Publication number: 20220154960
    Abstract: An air-conditioning control device includes: an air-conditioning data acquisition unit to acquire air-conditioning data; a determination unit to determine whether or not the air-conditioning data is present in a sparse region; an estimation unit to, in a case where the determination unit determines that the air-conditioning data is present in the sparse region, apply extrapolation using a non-learning model for associating the air-conditioning data with a startup time of an air conditioner to a machine learning model, and estimate the startup time of the air conditioner from the air-conditioning data by using the non-learning model; and a control unit to perform control to start up the air conditioner at the startup time estimated by the estimation unit.

  • Publication number: 20210254851
    Abstract: An air conditioning control device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires air conditioning data acquired by an air conditioner, and a start time of the air conditioner predicted by inputting the air conditioning data into a machine learning model; an augmentation unit that generates augmented data by referring to the air conditioning data and the start time acquired by the acquisition unit; and an update unit that updates the machine learning model, by referring to the air conditioning data and the start time acquired by the acquisition unit as well as the augmented data generated by the augmentation unit.

  • Publication number: 20170007921
    Abstract: A method includes detecting a first input indicative of a first position in an image output by a display, detecting a second input indicative of a second position in the image different from the first position, and causing an object to be output by the display based on the first input or the second input. The object includes a boundary having a first end closer to the first position than to the second position, and a second end closer to the second position than to the first position.

  • Patent number: 5884237
    Abstract: An automatic door system includes a door which id driven to open and close by a motor. A sensor senses an object which approaches or leaves the door. A control section controls the motor in accordance with a signal supplied from the sensor. The control section includes a CPU which examines the motor, the sensor and the control section for failure or malfunction, and also an EEPROM which stores the result of examination made by the CPU. The result of examination stored in the EEPROM is outputted to a Handy Terminal or a personal computer.

  • Patent number: 5831403
    Abstract: An automatic door system includes a motor which drives a door to open and close. A CPU operating in accordance with a signal from an encoder operatively coupled to the motor detects the position of the door and prepares and applies a control signal based on the detected door position to a motor drive unit. The motor drive unit alternately drives and brakes the motor. The CPU calculates the speed of the door at a particular door position on the basis of the signal from the encoder and operates to make the door speed equal to the aimed speed for the current door position.
