Air conditioning controller for controlling an air conditioner

Abstract

The object of the present disclosure is to provide the air conditioning controller which is convenience to reset the malfunction of the touch panel. An air conditioning controller has a display displaying a graphical information, a touch panel positioned on the display and on which an operator touches for controlling an air conditioning unit, a touch IC for detecting a change of a static electricity occurred on the touch panel when the operator manipulates the touch panel, and a controlling part sending a commanding order to the air conditioning unit by receiving a signal detected by the touch IC. The controlling part determines whether an IC resetting condition is set by using the operator's manipulation manipulating the touch panel and resets the touch IC when the IC resetting condition is detected while an operation of the air conditioning controller is kept.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An air conditioning controller, comprising;
 a display displaying a graphical information.   a touch panel positioned on said display and on which an operator touches for controlling an air conditioning unit,   a touch IC for detecting a change of a static electricity occurred on said touch panel when the operator manipulates said touch panel,   a controlling part sending a commanding order to said air conditioning unit by receiving a signal detected by said touch IC, wherein   said controlling part determines whether an IC resetting condition is set by using the operator's manipulation manipulating said touch panel and resets said touch IC when said IC resetting condition is detected while an operation of said air conditioning controller is kept.   
     
     
         2 . The air conditioning controller of  claim 1 ,
 said air conditioning controller further has a detector for detecting a resetting manipulation information caused by the operator's manipulation including at least one of a manipulating strength and a manipulating interval, wherein   said controlling part decides a resetting manipulation in accordance with said resetting manipulation information detected by said detector and determines whether or not said IC resetting condition is set by using detected said resetting manipulation.   
     
     
         3 . The air conditioning controller of  claim 2 .
 said detector locates in said air conditioning controller and has at least one of sensing function of an acceleration sensing for sensing an acceleration of said touch panel and a pressure sensing for sensing a pressure applied on said touch panel,   said controlling part determines said IC resetting condition by using at least one information from said acceleration sensing and said pressure sensing.   
     
     
         4 . The air conditioning controller of  claim 2 ,
 said controlling unit stores an information relating to said resetting manipulation of a plurality of operators and a adjusts said resetting condition in accordance with stored said information of each of the operators.   
     
     
         5 . The air conditioning controller of  claim 1 ,
 said controlling part maintains a graphical information displayed on said display while said touch IC is reset.   
     
     
         6 . The air conditioning controller of  claim 1 ,
 said controlling part does not run its operation within a predetermined period when said touch IC detects the operator's operation within the predetermined period after the reset of said touch IC is completed.   
     
     
         7 . The air conditioning controller of  claim 1 ,
 said controlling part further detects a CPU resetting condition and resets said controlling part when said CPU resetting condition is detected, wherein   said controlling part memorizes a number of said IC resetting condition, decides whether or not said CPU resetting condition is detected by using the number of said IC resetting condition, and resets said controlling part when said CPU resetting condition is detected.   
     
     
         8 . The air conditioning controller of  claim 6 ,
 said controlling part does not indicate said IC resetting condition while said touch IC is reset but indicates said CPU resetting condition while said controlling part is reset.   
     
     
         9 . The air conditioning controller of  claim 6 ,
 a period for resetting said touch IC is shorter than a period for resetting said controlling part.   
     
     
         10 . An air conditioning controller, comprising;
 a display displaying a graphical information.   a touch panel positioned on said display and on which an operator touches for controlling an air conditioning unit,   a touch IC for detecting a change of a static electricity occurred on said touch panel when the operator manipulates said touch panel,   a controlling part sending a commanding order to said air conditioning unit by receiving a signal detected by said touch IC, wherein   said controlling part detects an IC resetting condition by using at least one of an acceleration information of said touch panel and a pressure information applied on said touch panel and resets said touch IC when said IC resetting condition is detected while an operation of said air conditioning controller is kept.   
     
     
         11 . The air conditioner, comprising;
 an air conditioning controller of  claim 10 ,   an air conditioning unit for operating an air conditioning operation by receiving a commanding order from said air conditioning controller.
