  • Publication number: 20240117984
    Abstract: Provided is an air conditioner including an indoor unit provided with a microphone element for receiving voice instructions, such that a voice instruction spoken by an operator is acquired with high quality and control based on the voice instruction spoken by the operator is likely to be ensured. The air conditioner includes an indoor unit, a transmission unit, and a reception unit. The indoor unit has a main body and a microphone element. The main body has formed therein a blow-out port through which air-conditioned air is blown out toward a space to be air-conditioned. The microphone element accepts a voice instruction captured from a voice capturing portion arranged at a position that deviates from a ventilation space through which the air blown out from the blow-out port flows, in such a manner as to face the space to be air-conditioned. The transmission unit transmits the voice instruction accepted by the microphone element to an outside as a signal.

  • Patent number: 11379109
    Abstract: A setting value change device is provided whereby change operations to correct temperature setting values or hot water amount values by drag operations are easy. A controller causes a display to display a drag button and a movement path on which the drag button moves. Additionally, the controller provides, on a touch sensor, a drag area for detecting a drag input on the drag button and a reference point disposed at a location off the movement path. Moreover, the controller is configured to set the drag area larger than the display range of the movement path, move the drag button to a crossing point where a straight line or specific curve connecting the reference point to a drag operation position in the drag area crosses the movement path, and change the temperature setting value to the value corresponding to the position of the drag button.
