AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL DEVICE AND AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL METHOD
First Claim
1. An air conditioning control device adapted to collectively control operation of an indoor unit group including by a plurality of indoor units of an air conditioner installed in a single space, the air conditioning control device comprising:
- an operating-unit specifying unit configured to specify an operating unit from the indoor units included in the indoor unit group, the operating unit performing an air conditioning operation;
an adjacent-unit specifying unit configured to specify an adjacent unit from the indoor units included in the indoor unit group, the adjacent unit being adjacent to the operating unit;
an operating-unit control unit configured to cause the operating unit to perform the air conditioning operation; and
an adjacent-unit control unit configured to cause the adjacent unit to perform an air flow generating operation to generate an air flow that inhibits air conditioned by the air conditioning operation of the operating unit from diffusing from an air conditioning target space forming a portion of the single space and which is targeted by the air conditioning operation of the operating unit.

Abstract
An air conditioning control device includes an operating-unit specifying unit, an adjacent-unit specifying unit and an adjacent-unit control unit, and collectively controls the operation of an indoor unit group. The operating-unit specifying unit specifies an operating unit to perform an air conditioning operation from the indoor units included in the indoor unit group. The adjacent-unit specifying unit specifies an adjacent unit adjacent to the operating unit from the indoor units included in the indoor unit group. The adjacent-unit control unit causes the adjacent unit to perform an air flow generating operation. This air flow inhibits air conditioned by the air conditioning operation of the operating unit from diffusing from an air conditioning target space.

14. An air conditioning control method for collectively controlling operation of an indoor unit group including a plurality of indoor units of an air conditioner installed in a single space, the air conditioning control method comprising:
-
specifying an operating unit from the indoor units included in the indoor unit group, the operating unit performing an air conditioning operation; specifying an adjacent unit from the indoor units included in the indoor unit group, the adjacent unit being adjacent to the operating unit; controlling the operating unit such that the operating unit performs the air conditioning operation; and controlling the adjacent unit such that the adjacent unit performs an air flow generating operation to generate an air flow that inhibits air conditioned by the air conditioning operation of the operating unit from diffusing from an air conditioning target space forming a portion of the single space and which is targeted by the air conditioning operation of the operating unit.
