Abstract
The air-conditioning system control apparatus includes an influence-degree calculation unit that calculates a degree of influence between two air-conditioning indoor units that are selected from a plurality of air-conditioning indoor units as a pair of air-conditioning indoor units, based on operation data on the pair of air-conditioning indoor units.
Claims17
An air-conditioning system control apparatus comprising:
- an influence-degree calculation unit configured to calculate a degree of influence between air-conditioning indoor units that are selected from a plurality of air-conditioning indoor units, based on operation data on the selected air-conditioning indoor units;
- a room determination unit configured to determine whether the selected air-conditioning indoor units are present in the same space or not based on the degree of influence calculated by the influence-degree calculation unit;
- and
- a position estimation unit configured to estimate a positional relationship between the selected air-conditioning indoor units, which are determined by the room determination unit to be present in the same space, based on the degree of influence between the selected air-conditioning indoor units;
- wherein the air-conditioning system control apparatus automatically operates the selected air-conditioning indoor units based on the degree of influence and the positional relationship between the selected air-conditioning indoor units.
An air-conditioning system control apparatus comprising:
- an influence-degree calculation unit configured to calculate a degree of influence between air-conditioning indoor units that are selected from a plurality of air-conditioning indoor units, based on operation data on the selected air-conditioning indoor units, wherein the degree of influence is a degree to which one of the plurality of air-conditioning indoor units is influenced by another one of the plurality of air-conditioning indoor units;
- and
- a rotation control unit configured to perform, based on the degree of influence calculated by the influence-degree calculation unit, a rotation operation in which one or some of the plurality of air-conditioning indoor units are kept in operation and an operation of a remaining one or ones of the plurality of air-conditioning indoor units is stopped, and also configured to stop an operation of one of air-conditioning indoor units that have the lowest degree of influence for each other among the plurality of air-conditioning indoor units.
An air-conditioning system control apparatus comprising an influence-degree calculation unit configured to calculate a degree of influence between air-conditioning indoor units that are selected from a plurality of air-conditioning indoor units, based on operation data on the selected air-conditioning indoor units,
- wherein the degree of influence is a degree of similarity in temporal change of suction temperature data between the selected air-conditioning indoor units,
- wherein the air-conditioning system control apparatus automatically operates the selected air-conditioning indoor units based on the calculated degree of influence.
