Air conditioner management device, air conditioner management system, non-transitory computer-readable recording medium and air conditioner management method

An air conditioner management system comprising a plurality of air conditioners connected to one another via a pipe and an air conditioner management device that manages the plurality of air conditioners, the air conditioner management device including:

• an information storage associating and storing identification information for each of the plurality of air conditioners;
• an information inputter entering schedule information presenting a schedule for operating a first air conditioner;
• a device controller controlling the operation of the first air conditioner based on the schedule information entered by the information inputter;
• an information communicator transmitting a control signal to the first air conditioner controlled by the device controller and to a second air conditioner identified by identification information for the second air conditioner associated with identification information for the first air conditioner wherein the control signal requests an air conditioner to transmit operation state information presenting an operation state of the air conditioner, and then receiving operation state information of the first air conditioner, and operation state information of the second air conditioner;
• and
• an information display associating and displaying the operation state information of the first air conditioner with the operation state information of the second air conditioner that are received by the information communicator.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having stored thereof an air conditioner management program that allows a computer to function as:

• an information storage associating and storing identification information for each of air conditioners connected to-one another via a pipe;
• an information inputter entering schedule information presenting a schedule for operating a first air conditioner;
• a device controller controlling the operation of the first air conditioner based on the schedule information entered by the information inputter;
• an information communicator transmitting a control signal to the first air conditioner controlled by the device controller and to a second air conditioner identified by identification information for the second air conditioner associated with identification information for the first air conditioner wherein the control signal requests an air conditioner to transmit operation state information presenting an operation state of the air conditioner, and then receiving operation state information-of the first air conditioner, and operation state information of the second air conditioner;
• and
• an information display associating and displaying the operation state information of the first air conditioner with the operation state information of the second air conditioner that are received by the information communicator.

An air conditioner management method, comprising:

• an information input step of entering schedule information presenting a schedule for operating a first air conditioner;
• a device control step of controlling the operation of the first air conditioner based on the schedule information entered by the information input step;
• a transmission step of transmitting a control signal to the first air conditioner controlled in the device control step and to a second air conditioner identified by identification information for the second air conditioner associated with identification information for the first air conditioner in an information storage, wherein the information storage associates and stores identification information for each of a plurality of air conditioners connected to one another via a pipe, and wherein the control signal requests an air conditioner to transmit operation state information presenting an operation state of the air conditioner;
• a receiving step of receiving-operation state information of the first air conditioner and operation state information of the-second air conditioner;
• and
• an information display step of associating and displaying the operation state information of the first air conditioner-with the operation state information of the second air conditioner that are received in the receiving step.
