Abstract: An air conditioning data communication device includes a data acquisition unit, a transmission schedule adjusting unit, and a data transmission unit. The data acquisition unit acquires data about an air conditioner. The transmission schedule adjusting unit creates a schedule for transmission of data acquired by the data acquisition unit to a server, and adjusts the schedule by changing a transmission time to allow the data to be transmittable to the server when the data is not all transmittable to the server within a billing cycle included in fee plan information. The data transmission unit transmits data to the server in accordance with the schedule created by the transmission schedule adjusting unit.

Abstract: An equipment manager manages connected equipment. A Web server is able to provide Web contents that include a monitoring program for monitoring the states of equipment managed by plural equipment management devices. A Web-contents-display controller acquires the Web contents that are transmitted from the Web server, executes the monitoring program, acquires an equipment-management-device-address list, uses the acquired equipment-management-device-address list to connect to each of the plural equipment management devices, acquires equipment data that is managed by each of the equipment management devices, and displays that equipment data on one screen of the Web browser.

Abstract: A generation commander commands a server certificate generator to generate a server certificate including an IP address on a network of a server connected via the network to a terminal device. A certificate storage stores the server certificate generated by the server certificate generator based on the command by the generation commander. The communicator communicates with the terminal device using the server certificate stored in the certificate storage.

Abstract: A standard schedule creator creates a standard schedule that makes it possible to achieve a target presented by target data. A seasonal schedule updater, monthly schedule updater, weekly schedule updater, and current day schedule updater update the created standard schedule using the corresponding weather forecast data to create an operation schedule of an air conditioner in which the weather forecast is properly reflected.

Abstract: A control system is provided with: a control device that controls facility equipment on the basis of previously set control information; and a terminal that communicates with the control device. The terminal has: an image capturer that captures an image; an analyzer that acquires setting-support information for setting the control information in the control device by analyzing the image captured by means of the image capturer; and a transmitter that transmits to the control device the setting-support information acquired by means of the analyzer. The control device has: a receiver that receives the setting-support information transmitted from the transmitter; and a setter that sets the control information on the basis of the setting-support information received by means of the receiver.

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.

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.
