Abstract

An air conditioner preferably includes a selection component (switch) and an air conditioning data acquisition/processing component (printed wiring board). Preferably, a storage component (EEPROM) records at least two sets of data of whether or not an option function is being executed and a drive condition of a compressor relating to air conditioning that the printed wiring board acquires. The switch receives display setting data indicating either one of the two sets of data. The printed wiring board includes an output port that alternatively outputs one of the data of whether or not the option function is being executed and the data of the drive condition of the compressor, and the printed wiring board performs data output processing from the output port in accordance with the display setting data that the switch has received.

Claims

1. An air conditioner comprising:

an air conditioning data acquisition component configured to acquire at least two sets of data including a first and second sets of data relating to air conditioning;

a selection component configured to receive a selection indicating either one of the first and second sets of data; and

a data processing component including an outputting portion configured to alternatively output one of the first and second sets of data, with the data processing component being configured to perform data output from the outputting portion in accordance with the selection received by the selection component.

2. The air conditioner of claim 1, further comprising

a nonvolatile storage component configured to store the selection received by the selection component as selection data recorded by the data processing component, wherein

the data processing component is configured to perform the data output in accordance with the selection data.

3. The air conditioner of claim 2, wherein

the data processing component is further configured to complete, before the data output, processing that records the most recent selection received by the selection component in the nonvolatile storage component as selection data and performs data output according to the selection data that are recorded in the nonvolatile storage component at a time when the data processing component performs the data output.

4. The air conditioner of claim 2, further comprising

a power acquisition component configured to receive a supply of power from outside the air conditioned, wherein

the data processing component performs the data output in accordance with the selection data that are recorded in the nonvolatile storage component at a point in time when the supply of power with respect to the power acquisition component has been started.

5. The air conditioner of claim 1, wherein

the selection component is a switch that switches between two states.

13. The air conditioner of claim 2, wherein

the selection component is a switch that switches between two states.

14. The air conditioner of claim 3, wherein

the selection component is a switch that switches between two states.

15. The air conditioner of claim 4, wherein

the selection component is a switch that switches between two states.

16. The air conditioner of claim 1, wherein

the first set of data is a set of data relating to an option function of the air conditioning, and

the second set of data is a set of data relating to driving of a compressor or an outdoor blowing fan which are different from the option function.

17. The air conditioner of claim 1, wherein

the air conditioner is configured to perform at least two operating modes including a normal operating mode and an energy saving operating mode, and

the first set of data is a set of data relating to the operating modes.

18. The air conditioner of claim 1, wherein

the data processing component is a printed wiring board.

19. The air conditioner of claim 16, wherein

the air conditioner is configured to perform at least two operating modes including a normal operating mode and an energy saving operating mode, and

the first set of data is a set of data relating to the operating modes.

20. The air conditioner of claim 19, wherein

the data processing component is a printed wiring board.

6. An air conditioner comprising:

an air conditioning data acquisition component configured to acquire at least two sets of data including first and second sets of data relating to the air conditioning;

a selection storage component configured to store selection data indicating either one of the first and second sets of data; and

a data processing component including an outputting portion configured to alternatively output one of the first and second sets of data, with the data processing component being configured to perform data output from the outputting portion in accordance with the selection data.

7. The air conditioner of claim 6, wherein

the selection storage component is nonvolatile.

8. The air conditioner of claim 6, wherein

the first set of data is a set of data relating to an option function of the air conditioning, and

the second set of data is a set of data relating to the driving of a compressor or an outdoor blowing fan which are different from the option function.

9. The air conditioner of claim 6, wherein

the air conditioner is configured to perform at least two operating modes including a normal operating mode and an energy saving operating mode, and

the first set of data is a set of data relating to the operating modes.

10. The air conditioner of claim 6, wherein

the data processing component is a printed wiring board.

11. The air conditioner of claim 8, wherein

the air conditioner is configured to perform at least two operating modes including a normal operating mode and an energy saving operating mode, and

the first set of data is a set of data relating to the operating modes.

12. The air conditioner of claim 11, wherein

the data processing component is a printed wiring board.
