Abstract:
1. An air conditioner control device for controlling at least one air conditioner connected to a network, comprising: an air-conditioning information memory storing data presenting a state of the air conditioner as air-conditioning information; an automatic control rule memory storing automatic control rules serving as criteria for determining a control content of the air conditioner; an air conditioner operator that receives an operation that changes the air-conditioning information; an air conditioner automatic controller that determines the control content of the air conditioner based on the air-conditioning information and automatic control rules, and changes the data in a corresponding part of the air-conditioning information stored in the air-conditioning information memory to the determined control content; a system communicator that receives a signal indicating the state of the air conditioner from the network, updates the data of the air-conditioning information memory, and sends to the network the update of the air-conditioning information and the control content of the air conditioner determined in accordance with the change as control signals; a rule adjustment screen memory storing adjustment screen information that is information for creating a rule adjustment screen used for changing the content of the automatic control rule memory; a rule adjustment screen generator that generates the adjustment screen information based on the content of the automatic control rule memory and stores the adjustment screen information in the rule adjustment screen memory; and a rule adjustment operator that creates the rule adjustment screen based on the adjustment screen information, displays the rule adjustment screen on a display device, and receives an operation to adjust the content of the automatic control rule memory on the displayed rule adjustment screen, wherein: the state of the air conditioner refers to environmental information of the air conditioner, which is input information entered into the air conditioner control device from the network, and the control content of the air conditioner refers to information indicating operation of said air conditioner, which is output information output to the network from the air conditioner control device, the automatic control rule memory stores an input determination formula, an output-setting formula, and an input/output connection formula, the input determination formula includes an input evaluation value and an operator defining a relationship of the input information with the input evaluation value and is a formula for determining whether or not the input information satisfies the input determination formula, the output-setting formula includes an output-setting value, and is a formula for setting the output information based on the output-setting value, the input/output connection formula defines a relationship between at least one of the input determination formula and at least one of the output-setting formula as connected when the relationship between the input determination formula and the output-setting formula exists, and the air conditioner automatic controller updates the air-conditioning information based on the output-setting formula connected by the input/output connection formula when the input information satisfies the input determination formula.
