Abstract: An air conditioner includes an infrared camera capturing a thermal image; a living-body detection unit detecting a living body present in an air-conditioning space based on the thermal image; a movement-distance calculation unit that calculates a movement distance of the detected living body; a temperature-control determination unit; a notification unit notifying the detected living body that it is likely to develop heat stroke or hypothermia; and a drive control unit performing the air-conditioning operation. The temperature-control determination unit provides an instruction to perform notification processing when an elapsed time, where the temperature of the detected living body is outside a normal range and the movement distance is less than a threshold value, exceeds a notification time threshold value.

Abstract: An air-conditioning control relay device includes a first communication unit that communicates with a communication terminal device, a second communication unit that communicates with an air conditioner, an analysis unit that analyzes first information received by the first communication unit from the communication terminal device, and an operation unit that operates a contact device based on the first information if the analysis unit determines, by analyzing, that the first information is information for operating of the contact device. The first communication unit sends the first information received from the communication terminal device to the second communication unit and to the analysis unit, and the second communication unit sends the first information received from the first communication unit to the air conditioner.

Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to obtain an external environment-recognizing apparatus with which it is possible to obtain detection results having a necessary accuracy when a plurality of target objects from a captured image are detected.

Abstract: An air conditioner includes: an infrared camera that captures a thermal image in an air-conditioning space; a living-body detection unit that detects a living body present in the air-conditioning space on a basis of the thermal image; a movement-distance calculation unit that calculates a movement distance of the living body present in the air-conditioning space; a temperature-control determination unit that provides an instruction to perform notification processing when an elapsed time when the living body whose temperature is outside a normal range where heat stroke and hypothermia are not likely to be caused and whose movement distance is less than a threshold value is present in the air-conditioning space exceeds a notification time threshold value and that provides an instruction to perform air-conditioning operation when the elapsed time exceeds a control time threshold value that is greater than the notification time threshold value; a notification unit that notifies that the living body that is likely
