Air conditioner control device, control method, and air conditioner control system

Abstract

An air conditioner control device of an embodiment includes: illuminance acquisition unit; a heat load acquisition unit; a target zone determination unit; and a derivation unit. The illuminance acquisition unit is configured to acquire illuminance measured by a user terminal. The heat load acquisition unit is configured to estimate an amount of solar radiation from the acquired illuminance and acquire a heat load from the estimated amount of solar radiation. The target zone determination unit is configured to determine whether or not a target zone including a location where the user terminal measures the illuminance is a perimeter zone. The derivation unit is configured to derive a correction value for a set temperature of the air conditioner in accordance with a determination result of the target zone determination unit and the acquired heat load.

         2 . The air conditioner control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the heat load acquisition unit derives the heat load by multiplying the amount of solar radiation by an area of the target zone. 
     
     
         3 . The air conditioner control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the target zone determination unit determines whether or not the target zone is the perimeter zone by comparing the estimated amount of solar radiation with a threshold value. 
     
     
         4 . The air conditioner control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the derivation unit derives the correction value on the basis of the acquired heat load and a preset heat load for each target zone. 
     
     
         5 . The air conditioner control device according to  claim 1 , comprising a correction value transmission unit configured to transmit the derived correction value to the air conditioner,
 wherein the correction value transmission unit transmits the correction value to an air conditioner capable of performing air conditioning for the target zone.   
     
     
         6 . The air conditioner control device according to  claim 1 , comprising a registration unit configured to register the user terminal in advance,
 wherein the illuminance acquisition unit prevents illuminance measured by a terminal other than the registered user terminal from being acquired or discards the illuminance acquired by the terminal.   
     
     
         7 . The air conditioner control device according to  claim 5 ,
 wherein a specific time period determined by an influence of solar radiation is set in the target zone, and   wherein the correction value is prevented from being transmitted by the correction value transmission unit when a current time is included in the specific time period.   
     
     
         8 . A control method of an air conditioner control device, the control method comprising:
 an illuminance acquisition step of acquiring illuminance measured by a user terminal;   a heat load acquisition step of estimating an amount of solar radiation from the acquired illuminance and acquiring a heat load from the estimated amount of solar radiation;   a target zone determination step of determining whether or not a target zone including a location where the user terminal measures the illuminance is a perimeter zone; and   a derivation step of deriving a correction value for a set temperature of the air conditioner in accordance with a determination result of the target zone determination step and the acquired heat load.   
     
     
         9 . An air conditioning control system comprising one or more air conditioners and an air conditioning control device for controlling the air conditioners,
 wherein the air conditioner control device comprises:   an illuminance acquisition unit configured to acquire illuminance measured by a user terminal;   a heat load acquisition unit configured to estimate an amount of solar radiation from the acquired illuminance and acquire a heat load from the estimated amount of solar radiation;   a target zone determination unit configured to determine whether or not a target zone including a location where the user terminal measures the illuminance is a perimeter zone; and   a derivation unit configured to derive a correction value for a set temperature of the air conditioner in accordance with a determination result of the target zone determination unit and the acquired heat load.
