Title:
ENERGY CONSERVATION CONTROLLER AND ENERGY CONSERVATION CONTROL SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/176690
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In the present invention, a recording unit records contents of control in association with levels of energy conservation representing degrees of energy conservation. A control unit reads from the recording unit the contents of control corresponding to a level of energy conservation set by a setting unit, and controls an apparatus to be controlled. A request acquisition unit acquires operation contents performed by a user within a predetermined time period before and after a reference time, with the point in time at which the apparatus to be controlled was controlled in accordance with the contents of control as the reference time. A receptiveness evaluation unit evaluates as receptiveness the degree of receptivity of the user to automatic energy conservation control by the control unit at the reference time on the basis of the operation contents acquired by the request acquisition unit. If the receptiveness is higher than a first threshold, a setting unit increases the level of energy conservation in a manner so that the energy consumed from the reference time by the apparatus to be controlled becomes lower.
