No. 38, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-276349, etc., 1. 3°, there were cases in which air conditioners were equipped with a function to correct the setting@degree, but the air conditioner itself can set the temperature and humidity settings suitable for the living environment of the air conditioner user. There was no case where a decision was made based on judgment.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As described above, the conventional technology does not provide a function for the air conditioner to determine the temperature and humidity settings of the air conditioner that are suitable for creating a living environment for the user of the air conditioner.

An object of the present invention is that when a user of an air conditioner sends a signal representing his or her living situation to the air conditioner, the air conditioner can tell the user the temperature and humidity that are most suitable for the user's living situation. The aim is for the air conditioner itself to automatically condition the room to the temperature and humidity most suitable for the user's living conditions.

[Means to solve the problem]

The above purpose is to have the microcomputer in the electrical components of the air conditioner memorize the temperature and humidity that are most suitable for several human living situations, and the user of the air conditioner to operate the operating part of the living situation. When you send signals about your living situation to the air conditioner,
The microcomputer of the electric appliance selects the temperature and humidity corresponding to the living situation, and thereby determines the set temperature of the air conditioner and the set temperature K.

[Effect]

In order to solve the above problems, first, voltage values obtained by A/D converting temperature and humidity suitable for several human living conditions are stored in a microcomputer. Therefore, the user of the air conditioner operates the control panel that allows the user to set the living conditions.
Sends signals regarding items related to one's living situation to the electrical components of the air conditioner. Then received the signal of the living situation item! The microcomputer selects the temperature and humidity voltage values corresponding to the living situation items, and determines them as the set temperature and humidity. Thereafter, the air conditioning is controlled so that the indoor temperature and humidity are maintained at the set temperature and humidity. In addition, in air conditioners, the set temperature is set by a % switch on the remote control, etc., but if the user sends signals related to his or her living situation to the electrical components of the air conditioner. In such cases, the temperature suitable for the living situation is given priority as the set temperature of the air conditioner. At this time, the temperature setting on the remote control or the like is displayed at a temperature suitable for the user's living situation, which has been determined as the air conditioner's setting temperature.

Further, a similar display is made regarding the display of humidity.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described by taking a separate type air conditioner for heating and cooling with variable capacity as an example. Figure 1 is an indoor unit)
This is what is shown. The indoor unit has room temperature sensor 3,
A humidifier 6 incorporating a humidity sensor 4, a sheathed heater 5 for dehumidification, and a sheathed heater 7 for humidification is arranged, so that not only temperature control but also humidity control can be performed.

First, when the user operates the operating section of the living situation item in the remote control 8 and sets his or her own living situation item, a signal for that living situation item is sent to the indoor electrical appliance 2. The subsequent air conditioning control will be explained with reference to the block circuit diagram in FIG. 2 and the flowchart in FIG. 3. In FIG. 2, signals of living situation items are sent from the remote controller 8 to the microcomputer 9 via the signal receiving section 10 in the indoor electrical appliance 2. In FIG. Temperature and humidity corresponding to each living situation item are A/D! The converted voltage value is stored in the memory 11 in the microcomputer 9. Next, the control method will be explained with reference to FIG. When the user sets his/her living situation items and the signals of the living situation items are input to the microcomputer, the CPU 13 sets the temperature corresponding to the living situation and the voltage I [vl and ■] corresponding to the humidity. (1 is the voltage value corresponding to the temperature, and 1 is the voltage value corresponding to the humidity)
is extracted. First, for indoor temperature control, 1 is determined as a voltage value symmetrical to the set temperature. At this time, the output circuit 14 converts (1) into a temperature value, sends a signal of the temperature value to the remote controller, and displays the temperature value on the remote controller as the set temperature. Further, the temperature resistance value of the room temperature is read by the room temperature sensor 3 in the indoor electrical appliance 2, and the value is converted into a voltage value (1) by the input circuit 12 and sent to the CPU 13. Here, the CPU 13 calculates the voltage difference between vl and ■, determines whether to perform cooling operation or heating operation, and also adjusts the rotation speed of the compressor. The signal is sent to the operation control unit 15 in the indoor electrical appliance 2 via the output circuit 14.
air conditioning control starts (resumes). Further, similar control is performed regarding humidity control. First, the CPU 13 determines the voltage value symmetrical to the set humidity. Next, the output circuit 14 converts (1) into a humidity value, sends a signal of the temperature value to the remote controller, and displays the humidity value as the set humidity on the remote controller. At this time, the humidity sensor 4 reads the humidity in the room, the input circuit 12 converts the value into a voltage value V4, and sends it to the CPU 13. Here, CPU
In step 13, the voltage difference between i and V is calculated, and it is determined whether to perform dehumidification or humidification. After that ■.

The cPU 13 continues to send a signal to the operation control #15 via the output circuit 14 to continue dehumidification or humidification until =v4. The above is a control method in which the air conditioner automatically adjusts the air to the temperature most suitable for the user's living situation. As shown in the figure. If the user is studying and wants to adjust the room temperature to the most suitable temperature for studying, use the remote control 8.
Set the living situation display section to "study" by operating the living situation switch button inside. As a result, the most suitable temperature and humidity for studying will be displayed on the set temperature display section as 22 degrees Celsius, and the set humidity display section as humidity! 50% is displayed, and the air conditioner starts conditioning the room with this temperature and humidity as the target. In the conventional temperature setting method, the user operated the set temperature control section as shown in the set temperature switch button in Figure 4 to set the target temperature. When set, the temperature most suitable for the living situation is determined as the set temperature by the control method described above, regardless of the set value of the set temperature switching button. However, in the item of living situation, "
If the living situation display area becomes blank by operating the living situation switching button, the set value by operating the setting temperature switching button will be determined as the setting temperature, and the setting temperature display will be displayed. The temperature will be displayed,
The system uses air conditioning to target that temperature.
