Abstract

A control unit generates a second signal indicating biological information of a target person by processing a first signal output from a non-contact biosensor configured to detect biological information of the person present in a space, based on state information indicating a state of the person present in the space acquired by a state acquisition unit, estimates emotion information of the target person based on the second signal, and controls an environment adjustment portion based on the emotion information of the target person.

1 . An environment control device comprising a control unit configured to control an environment adjustment portion configured to adjust an environment of a space in which a person is present,
 the control unit being configured to   generate a second signal indicating biological information of a target person by processing a first signal output from a non-contact biosensor configured to detect biological information of the person present in the space, based on state information indicating a state of the person present in the space acquired by a state acquisition unit;   estimate emotion information of the target person, based on the second signal; and   control the environment adjustment portion, based on the emotion information of the target person.   
     
     
         2 . The environment control device of  claim 1 , wherein
 the state information includes information on the number, location, posture, or physique of people present in the space.   
     
     
         3 . The environment control device of  claim 1 , wherein
 the biological information includes information on a heartbeat, a pulse wave, a body movement, or respiration of the person present in the space.   
     
     
         4 . The environment control device of  claim 1 , wherein
 the first signal is a signal in which the biological information of multiple people is superimposed, and   the control unit generates the second signal by extracting, from the first signal, a signal indicating the biological information of the target person, based on the state information.   
     
     
         5 . The environment control device of  claim 4 , wherein
 the first signal is a signal in which multiple signals with different amplitudes are superimposed, and   the control unit generates the second signal by extracting a signal with a predetermined amplitude from the first signal in accordance with a relative location of the target person in the space.   
     
     
         6 . The environment control device of  claim 4 , wherein
 the control unit identifies the target person, based on priority information set by a user.   
     
     
         7 . An environment adjustment device comprising
 the environment adjustment portion, the biosensor, the state acquisition unit, and the control unit of  claim 1 .   
     
     
         8 . An air conditioner comprising
 the environment adjustment portion, the biosensor, the state acquisition unit, and the control unit of  claim 1 ,   the environment adjustment portion being an air conditioning portion configured to condition air in the space in which the target person is present.   
     
     
         9 . An environment control method of controlling an environment adjustment portion configured to adjust an environment of a space in which a person is present, the environment control method comprising:
 generating a second signal indicating biological information of a target person by processing a first signal output from a non-contact biosensor configured to detect biological information of the person present in the space, based on state information indicating a state of the person present in the space acquired by a state acquisition unit;   estimating emotion information of the target person, based on the second signal; and   controlling the environment adjustment portion, based on the emotion information of the target person.   
     
     
         10 . A program for causing a computer to execute a process of controlling an environment adjustment portion configured to adjust an environment of a space in which a person is present, the program causing the computer to execute:
 generating a second signal indicating biological information of a target person by processing a first signal output from a non-contact biosensor configured to detect biological information of the person present in the space, based on state information indicating a state of the person present in the space acquired by a state acquisition unit;   estimating emotion information of the target person, based on the second signal; and   controlling the environment adjustment portion, based on the emotion information of the target person.   
     
     
         11 . The environment control device of  claim 2 , wherein
 the biological information includes information on a heartbeat, a pulse wave, a body movement, or respiration of the person present in the space.   
     
     
         12 . The environment control device of  claim 2 , wherein
 the first signal is a signal in which the biological information of multiple people is superimposed, and   the control unit generates the second signal by extracting, from the first signal, a signal indicating the biological information of the target person, based on the state information.   
     
     
         13 . The environment control device of  claim 3 , wherein
 the first signal is a signal in which the biological information of multiple people is superimposed, and   the control unit generates the second signal by extracting, from the first signal, a signal indicating the biological information of the target person, based on the state information.   
     
     
         14 . The environment control device of  claim 5 , wherein
 the control unit identifies the target person, based on priority information set by a user.   
     
     
         15 . An environment adjustment device comprising
 the environment adjustment portion, the biosensor, the state acquisition unit, and the control unit of  claim 2 .   
     
     
         16 . An environment adjustment device comprising
