Control device, control method, and control program
First Claim
1. A control device for controlling air-conditioning of a room containing equipment capable of drawing outside air to cool down an interior of the equipment, comprising:
- a temperature measurement portion for measuring a temperature of air drawn by the equipment;
a detection portion for detecting whether the equipment is drawing or exhausting air;
a control portion for controlling the air-conditioning based on the measured temperature and whether the equipment is drawing or exhausting air; and
a storage portion for storing operating information indicating that it is abnormal if the equipment is placed in a non-operating state or that it is not abnormal even when the equipment is placed in the non-operating state;
wherein, if the operating information stored in the storage portion indicates that the equipment is placed in the non-operating state, and the detection portion detects that the equipment is not drawing air, the control portion outputs a warning to a user.

Abstract
Provision of a control device, method and program capable of performing a suitable temperature control in a room having an equipment installed therein. A control device controls air-conditioning of a room having installed therein a plurality of pieces of equipment each being capable of drawing outside air to thereby cool down an interior of the equipment. A storage portion is capable of storing therein operating information that represents as to whether it is abnormal or not if each piece of equipment is put into a non-operating state. A temperature measurement portion is capable of measuring a temperature of the air drawn by each piece of equipment. A detection portion is capable of measuring a flow speed of the air drawn by each piece of equipment. A control portion is configured to control the air-conditioning based on the measurement result of the temperature or the flow speed of the air drawn by each piece of equipment.

8. A control device for controlling air-conditioning of a room containing equipment, the equipment being capable of drawing outside air to cool down an interior of the equipment, comprising:
-
a storage portion for storing operating information indicating that it is abnormal if the equipment is placed in a non-operating state, or that it is not abnormal even when the equipment is placed in the non-operating state; a temperature measurement portion for measuring a temperature of air drawn by the equipment; a detection portion for measuring a flow speed of air drawn by the equipment; a movable system including the temperature measurement portion and the detection portion; a driving system for moving the movable system toward an intake port side of the equipment; and a control portion for controlling the driving system to measure the temperature or the flow speed of air drawn by the equipment to control the air-conditioning based on a measurement result, the control portion being configured to; determine that the equipment is drawing air by comparing the measured flow speed to a reference value; control the air-conditioning to decrease the temperature of air drawn by the equipment when the measured temperature is higher than a reference temperature, and the equipment is drawing air at a flow speed of at least the reference value; output a warning to a user when the operating information indicates that it is abnormal if the equipment is placed into a non-operating state, and the equipment is not drawing air at a flow speed of at least the reference value; and maintain a control state of the air-conditioning when the operating information indicates that it is not abnormal if the equipment is placed into a non-operating state and is not drawing air.

9. A control method for controlling air-conditioning of a room containing equipment capable of drawing outside air to cool down an interior of the equipment, comprising:
-
measuring a temperature of air drawn by the equipment; detecting whether the equipment is drawing or exhausting air; controlling the air-conditioning based on the measured temperature and whether the equipment is drawing or exhausting air; and storing operating information indicating that it is abnormal if the equipment is placed in a non-operating state or that it is not abnormal even when the equipment is placed in the non-operating state; wherein, if the stored operating information indicates that the equipment is placed in the non-operating state, and the detecting detects that the equipment is not drawing air, a warning is output to a user. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

10. A computer program stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, which when executed by a computer, controls air-conditioning of a room containing equipment capable of drawing outside air to cool down an interior of the equipment, comprising program code for:
-
measuring a temperature of air drawn by the equipment; detecting whether the equipment is drawing or exhausting air; controlling the air-conditioning based on the measured temperature and whether the equipment is drawing or exhausting air; and storing operating information indicating that it is abnormal if the equipment is placed in a non-operating state or that it is not abnormal even when the equipment is placed in the non-operating state; wherein, if the stored operating information indicates that the equipment is placed in the non-operating state, and the detecting detects that the equipment is not drawing air, a warning is output to a user. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
