Abstract
Description
これに対し、特許文献1に記載された空調ユニットでは、カメラで空調機を撮像し、空調機に設定されている風向、風速又は運転モード等の運転設定を、撮像画像に合成して表示部で表示している。これにより、表示部に表示された画面上で、運転設定を可視化することができる。
複数の空調機が配置されるオフィスビル向けの空調システムでは、どの空調機が撮像画像内に存在するのかを識別しなければならない。
また、複数の空調機が配置されるオフィスビル向けの空調システムでは、隣接する空調機の吹き出し風により気流が複雑化する。こうした気流を可視化するには、複数の室内機が含まれた画像を用いることが有効であるが、特許文献1に記載された技術では、各空調機の運転設定を反映することが困難であった。
図1は、実施の形態1に係る空調可視化システム100の構成を概略的に示すブロック図である。
図1に示されているように、空調可視化システム100は、ユーザ端末110と、メインサーバ130とを備える。
可視化対象となる空調システムは、複数の空調機150と、コントローラ151とを備える。それらは、ネットワークで接続されている。
ユーザ端末110の位置を検出する屋内位置検出システムは、位置検出用カメラ170と、位置検出用サーバ171とを備える。それらは、ネットワークで接続されている。
ユーザ端末110、メインサーバ130、コントローラ151、位置検出用サーバ171は、ネットワーク190で接続されている。
図2に示されているように、ユーザ端末110は、表示部111と、撮像部112と、ユーザ操作部113と、撮像範囲特定部114と、センサ群115と、位置検出用LED116と、通信部117とを備える。
撮像部112は、画像を撮像する。具体的には、撮像部112は、対象の画像を撮影し、その画像の画像データを生成する。ここでは、撮像部112は、可視化対象の空間の画像を撮像し、撮像された画像の画像データを生成する。
撮像範囲特定部114は、センサ群115から得られる値と、位置検出用サーバ171から取得した端末位置情報とにより撮像された画像の撮像範囲を特定する。
センサ群115は、ユーザ端末110で利用する各種センサである。例えば、実施の形態1では、センサ群115は、加速度センサ及び地磁気線センサを含む。
通信部117は、ネットワーク190を介して通信を行うインタフェースである。
図3に示されているように、ユーザ端末110は、ディスプレイ501と、カメラ502と、入力装置503と、NIC(Network Interface Card)等の通信装置504と、各種センサ505と、CPU(Central Processing Unit)等のプロセッサ506と、メモリ507と、LED508とを備える。
なお、表示部111及びユーザ操作部113は、ディスプレイ501と入力装置503とが一体化されたタッチパネルをプロセッサ506が制御することで、実現されてもよい。
空調影響物特定部132は、ユーザ端末110のユーザ操作部113から、パーティション又はPC等の空調影響物を示す空調影響物情報を受け取り、これに基づいて、空調機150による空調に影響を与える空調影響物の位置を特定する。
空調機データ取得部134は、コントローラ151を介して、指定された機器IDの空調機150の運転設定を取得する。ここで、運転設定は、例えば、発停、風向、風量及び運転モード等である。
通信部137は、ネットワーク190を介して通信を行うインタフェースである。例えば、通信部137は、画像合成部136で生成された合成画像データをユーザ端末110に送信する。
図4に示されているように、メインサーバ130は、メモリ601と、プロセッサ602と、通信装置603と、入力インタフェース(以下、入力I/Fという)604とを備える。
位置検出用サーバ171は、位置検出用カメラ170からの画像を元に、ユーザ端末110の位置検出用LED116を画像処理により検出する。これにより、位置検出用サーバ171は、ユーザ端末110の位置を示す位置情報を生成する。
例えば、位置検出用LED116は、特定の端末毎に異なる発光パターンで発光している。そして、位置検出用サーバ171は、位置検出用カメラ170から得られる画像から、その発光パターンを識別し、予め登録されているカメラ位置情報に基づいて、ユーザ端末110の位置を特定する。
なお、屋内位置検出システムによるユーザ端末110の位置検出動作は、常時実行されている。
まず、ユーザ端末110の撮像部112は、ユーザからの撮像操作を受けて、ユーザ端末110に搭載されているカメラモジュールを動作させて画像データを取得する(S10)。
メインサーバ130の空調影響物特定部132は、受信した空調影響物情報をそのまま図示しない記憶部に記憶する。なお、実施の形態1では、空調影響物情報をユーザ端末110から入力して、そのまま用いる動作としたが、空調影響物特定部132が画像データに基づいて、パターンマッチング等により、自動で特定してもよい。
ここでは、画像合成部136は、例えば、図面情報及び空調影響物情報に基づいて、部屋における、空調機150及び空調影響物の配置を特定して、空調機150の運転設定、並びに、吹き出し口の位置及び向きから、公知のシミュレーションを行うことで、空調機150の吹き出し口からの気流を特定している。
例えば、画像合成部136は、上述のシミュレーションの結果(3次元)を、撮像範囲情報で特定されるユーザ端末110の位置及び向き、並びに、ユーザ端末110からの画像データで示される画像から推定される画角に対応した2次元の画像を生成する。そして、画像合成部136は、このようにして生成した仮想的な画像を、ユーザ端末110からの画像データで示される画像に重畳することで、合成画像データを生成する。
なお、実施の形態1では、気流解析の結果を画像データに重畳する動作としたが、画像合成部136は、空調機150の位置、吹き出し口の位置及び空調影響物等を模擬表現した画像に、気流解析の結果を重畳する動作としてもよい。
ユーザ端末110では、通信部117で合成画像データを受信して、その合成画像データに基づいて、合成画像が表示部111に表示される(S20)。
図6に示されているように、合成画像IMには、空調機150と、空調影響物としてのキャビネットCAとが含まれており、空調機150からの気流の流れが、矢印で示されている。図5に示されているように、空調機150からの気流は、対向する空調機150からの気流とぶつかり下方に流れ、さらに、キャビネットCAにぶつかることで、方向が変わっている。
図7は、実施の形態2に係る空調可視化システム200の構成を概略的に示すブロック図である。
図7に示されているように、空調可視化システム200は、ユーザ端末210と、メインサーバ230とを備える。
可視化対象となる空調システムは、空調機250と、コントローラ151とを備える。それらは、ネットワークで接続されている。
ユーザ端末210、メインサーバ230及びコントローラ151は、ネットワーク190で接続されている。
ここで、実施の形態2では、実施の形態1とは異なり、屋内位置検出システムが設けられていない。
図8に示されているように、ユーザ端末210は、表示部111と、撮像部112と、ユーザ操作部113と、通信部117とを備える。実施の形態2におけるユーザ端末210は、実施の形態1におけるユーザ端末110とは異なり、撮像範囲特定部114、センサ群115及び位置検出用LED116を備えていない。
実施の形態2におけるメインサーバ230は、空調機配置入力部133を備えていない点、及び、空調機設定取得部235での処理の点を除いて、実施の形態1におけるメインサーバ130と同様に構成されている。
図9に示されているステップにおいて、図5に示されているステップと同様の処理を行っているステップには、図5と同様の符号を付し、その詳細な説明を省略する。
図9に示されているステップS12での処理は、図5に示されているステップS12での処理と同様である。但し、図9に示されているステップS12の後には、処理はステップS23に進む。
図9に示されているステップS14での処理は、図5に示されているステップS14での処理と同様である。但し、図9に示されているステップS14の後には、処理はステップS25に進む。
図9のステップS16~S20での処理は、図5のステップS16~S20での処理と同様である。
図7に示されているように、実施の形態3に係る空調可視化システム300は、ユーザ端末210と、メインサーバ330とを備える。
可視化対象となる空調システムは、空調機150と、コントローラ351とを備える。それらは、ネットワークで接続されている。実施の形態3における空調機150は、実施の形態1と同様である。一方、コントローラ351は、メインサーバ330からの指示に応じて、空調機150を制御する。
ユーザ端末210、メインサーバ330及びコントローラ351は、ネットワーク190で接続されている。
ここで、実施の形態3でも、実施の形態2と同様に、屋内位置検出システムが設けられていない。
図10に示されているように、ユーザ端末210は、実施の形態2と同様に構成されている。
実施の形態3におけるメインサーバ330は、空調機運転制御部338がさらに設けられている点、及び、空調機設定取得部335での処理の点を除いて、実施の形態2におけるメインサーバ230と同様に構成されている。
図11に示されているステップにおいて、図9に示されているステップと同様の処理を行っているステップには、図9と同様の符号を付し、その詳細な説明を省略する。
図11のステップS16~S20での処理は、図9のステップS16~S20での処理と同様である。
ここでは、機器IDが、複数の空調機150に順番に割り振られているものとする。
次に、空調機設定取得部335は、空調機データ取得部134を介して、空調機150の風向設定を取得して、図示しない記憶部に記憶させた上で、空調機運転制御部338を介して、対象IDに対応する空調機150の風向設定を現設定とは異なる設定を指示する(S41)。
例えば、図13に示されているように、空調機450が、運転設定に応じて異なる発光パターンで発光するインジケータである運転設定LED450aを備える場合には、空調機設定取得部435は、その発光パターンから運転設定を取得することができる。そうすることで、屋内位置検出システムを使わずに、また、空調システムとの通信手段を用意することなく、空調システムを可視化することができる。なお、図13では、実施の形態2又は3に基づいて、ユーザ端末210及びメインサーバ430を示しているが、実施の形態1に対しても、このような変形例を適用することができる。
以上に記載された実施の形態では、撮像部で撮像された画像から、撮像部で撮像された映像に含まれている空間に影響を与える空調機の吹き出し口を特定することができるため、気流の解析を容易に行うことができる。
また、複数の吹き出し口からの気流の影響を解析することができるため、より正確に画像内の空間への空調機の影響を確認することができる。
さらに、インジケータにより、運転設定を識別することができれば、空調システムとの通信を行うことなく、対象となる空調機の運転設定を取得することができる。
