Temperature adjustment system, temperature adjustment method, system controller, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium
Abstract
The first temperature measurer measures an first air temperature in a first place and transmits a measurement result to a system controller. The second temperature measurer measures an second air temperature in a second place and transmits a measurement result to the system controller. The sucker sucks air from the first place into a duet installed in the building. The discharger discharges the air taken from the first place via the duct into the second place. The system controller determines whether it is necessary to adjust an air temperature difference between the first and second places based on the first air temperature and the second air temperature. If the system controller determines that the adjustment is necessary, the system controller orders the sucker and discharger to start operation.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A temperature adjustment system, comprising:
a system controller; a first temperature measuring a first air temperature in a first place within a building and transmitting a measurement result to the system controller; a second temperature measurer measuring a second air temperature in a second place within the building and transmitting a measurement result to the system controller; a sucker sucking air from the first place into a duct installed in the building; and a discharger discharging the air taken from the first place via the duct into the second place, wherein the system controller comprises: a suction controller controlling the operation of the sucker; a discharge controller controlling the operation of the discharger; and an adjustment necessity determiner determining whether it is necessary to adjust an air temperature difference between the first and second places based on the first air temperature measured by the first temperature measurer and the second air temperature measured by the second temperature measurer, wherein if the adjustment necessity determiner determines that the adjustment is necessary, the suction controller orders the sucker to start operation and the discharge controller orders the discharger to start operation.
2 . The temperature adjustment system according to claim 1 , wherein
the adjustment necessity determiner calculates the temperature difference between the first air temperature measured by the first temperature measurer and the second air temperature measured by the second temperature measurer and if the calculated temperature difference exceeds a given threshold, determines that it is necessary to adjust the air temperature difference between the first and the second places.
3 . The temperature adjustment system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a time window information storage storing anticipated moving time window information presenting a time window in which the user is anticipated to move from the first place to the second place, wherein the adjustment necessity determiner conducts the determination a predetermined time before the start time of the time window presented by the anticipated moving time window information stored in the time window information storage.
4 . The temperature adjustment system according to claim 1 , wherein
the suction controller orders the sucker to stop operation after a predetermined time has elapsed since the suction controller ordered the sucker to start operation, and the discharge controller orders the discharger to stop operation in sync with the suction controller ordering the sucker to stop operation.
5 . The temperature adjustment system according to claim 1 , wherein
the sucker and the discharger are each configured to include an electric fan.
6 . A temperature adjustment method, comprising:
measuring a first air temperature in a first place within a building; measuring a second air temperature in a second place within the building; determining whether it is necessary to adjust an air temperature difference between the first and second places based on the first air temperature and the second air temperature; and ordering the sucker to suck air in the first place into a duct installed in the building and the discharger to discharge the air sent from the first place via the duct into the second place if it is determined that the adjustment is necessary.
7 . A system controller, comprising:
an air temperature acquirer acquiring a first air temperature measured in a first place within a building and a second air temperature measured in a second place within the building; a suction controller controlling the operation of a sucker sucking air in the first place into a duct installed in the building; a discharge controller controlling the operation of a discharger discharging the air sent from the first place via the duct into the second place; and an adjustment necessity determiner determining whether it is necessary to adjust an air temperature difference between the first and second places based on the first air temperature and the second air temperature, wherein if the adjustment necessity determiner determines that the adjustment is necessary, the suction controller orders the sucker to start operation and the discharge controller orders the discharger to start operation.
8 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored thereof a program allowing a computer to function as;
an air temperature acquirer acquiring a first air temperature measured in a first place within a building and a second air temperature measured in a second place within the building; a suction controller controlling the operation of a sucker sucking air in the first place into a duct installed in the building; a discharge controller controlling the operation of a discharger discharging the air sent from the first place via the duct into the second place; and an adjustment necessity determiner determining whether it is necessary to adjust an air temperature difference between the first and second places based on the first air temperature and the second air temperature, wherein if the adjustment necessity determiner determines that the adjustment is necessary, the suction controller orders the sucker to start operation and the discharge controller orders the discharger to start operation.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
