  • Publication number: 20170227940
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9727039
    Abstract: A facility management device manages communication data that is transmitted and received between remote controllers and an outdoor unit and/or indoor units. A temporary-memory controller stores communication data that was received by a communicator, and transmission-waveform data that was acquired by a transmission-waveform data acquirer for a specified amount of time in a temporary memory. An abnormality determiner determines whether or not there is abnormality in the communication data that is stored in the temporary memory. When it is determined that there is abnormality in the communication data stored in the temporary memory, a data copier stores all of the data that is stored in the temporary memory in an abnormal-data memory.

  • Patent number: 9544145
    Abstract: An equipment manager manages the operating state of equipment. A user verification processor performs user verification according to a request from a monitoring terminal, and when user verification is successful, generates for each facility management device a verification code in which verification data, to which a digital signature has been added using a self-owned secret key, has been encoded using a public key of each facility management device, and transmits the verification codes to the monitoring terminal. After receiving the verification code, a verification code analyzer decodes the verification code using the self-owned secret key, and performs verification by verifying the digital signature using the public key of a representative facility management device. When verification is successful, a Web server is able to monitor and manipulate data that indicates the operating states of all of the equipment that is managed by the equipment manager.

  • Patent number: 9459014
    Abstract: The present invention adjusts the discharge rate or discharge direction of air-conditioned air discharged from the discharge openings of air conditioners (301 to 308) according to the occupancy rates of work areas in the air-conditioned regions of the air conditioners (301 to 308). In this way, the work areas are intensively air-conditioned and the aisles and the space where cabinets and multifunctional machines are provided are moderately air-conditioned. Consequently, creating a comfortable environment around the users working in the work areas and reduce the energy consumption required for air-conditioning is possible.

  • Patent number: 9303930
    Abstract: An air conditioner control device controls a plurality of air conditioners installed at different positions in a predetermined living room space. A memory unit manages presence and absence data on people who are in a room air-conditioned by each of the air conditioners. Based on the managed presence and absence data, a number-of-people-in-the-room calculation unit calculates, on a per-air-conditioner basis, the number of people who are in the room air-conditioned by each of the air conditioners. A control time determination unit increases or decreases the control time during which an energy saving control of each of the air conditioners is executed, depending on the calculated number of people in the room. A control execution unit repeatedly executes the energy saving control of each of the air conditioners, according to the determined control time.

  • Publication number: 20150346763
    Abstract: An apparatus manager monitors and controls respective apparatus connected via a network. A learner learns load periods when a significant load is imposed on a processor, on the basis of a utilization condition of the processor, and stores load period information indicating the learned load periods in auxiliary storage. The clock speed controller references the load period information, and controls the operating clock speed of the processor to be a normal level clock speed if the current time is during a load period, and a low level clock speed if the current time is during a time period other than a load period.

  • Publication number: 20150112462
    Abstract: A planar diagram of a floor of a facility in which equipment are installed, and the units laid out on the floor, such as indoor units, are simultaneously displayed on a display apparatus. By operating a timeline displayed on the display apparatus, a user can confirm the transition of operation statuses of the indoor units installed on the floor, together with the layout of the indoor units. Thus, the user can compare and confirm the operation status of each unit without performing a troublesome operation in the event of abnormality in the units constituting an equipment system, thereby quickly identifying the cause of abnormality.

  • Publication number: 20140089859
    Abstract: A display device stereoscopically displays operation items. An input device is provided on a display screen of the display device and receives an input of operation with an operation body from a user. A data manager manages a constituent item management table in which each of the operation items is associated with item image data, position information for stereoscopic display, and a command to be executed when operated. An operable range calculator calculates a stereoscopic, operable range of an operation item based on the position information of the operation item. An operation position detector detects a position of the operation body. When the operation body enters the operable range of any operation item, an operation executor executes the command associated with the operation item.
