Abstract

The present invention is intended to provide a general-purpose display device that is able to display on a display unit easily operating information required for assessing a test operation state, and an application program to be executed by the display device. Accordingly, in this display device which displays on the display unit the operating information of an air conditioner in which an outdoor unit provided with an outdoor heat exchanger and an indoor unit provided with an indoor heat exchanger are connected by a refrigerant pipe and a refrigerant is circulated by a compressor, a control unit of the display device controls the display unit so that time information is displayed horizontally and a first operating information display area and a second operating information display area for displaying first operating information and second operating information, respectively, corresponding to the time information are displayed vertically side by side.

Claims (42)

1. A mobile terminal comprising:

a controller;

a display connected to the controller;

a memory connected to the controller that stores operation information of an air conditioner having an indoor unit including an indoor heat exchanger and an outdoor unit including an outdoor heat exchanger and a compressor, the indoor unit being connected with the outdoor unit through refrigerant pipes, and the compressor circulating a refrigerant,

wherein the controller is configured to:

display a first display area that includes a first time-series of first operation information indicating first data of the air conditioner, and first time information displayed along a horizontal axis,

display a second display area that includes a second time-series of second operation information indicating second data of the air conditioner, and second time information displayed along a horizontal axis, and

upon receiving a first selection of a first position of the first display area, display a first marker of the selected first position in the first display area that indicates a first time position of the first time information and that indicates a first position of the first operation information on the first time-series of first operation information corresponding to the first time position and simultaneously display a second marker in the second display area that indicates the first time position of the second time information and that indicates a first position of the second operation information of the second time-series of second operation information corresponding to the first time position,

wherein the first operation information indicates first data of one of the outdoor unit and the indoor unit and a third time-series of third operation information indicates third data of the other of the outdoor unit and the indoor unit indicated by the first operation information,

wherein the data of the first operation information and the data of the third operation information have different units from each other, and

wherein the controller is further configured to:

display in the first display area the third time-series of third operation information indicating the third data, and

display the respective units on different vertical axes in the first display area.

2. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

Upon receiving a second selection of a second position of the first display area, that differs from the selected position with respect to time information along the horizontal axis, display the first marker in the first display area, where the first marker indicates a second time position of the first time information and where the first marker indicates a second position of the first operation information on the first time-series of first operation information corresponding to the second time position and simultaneously display the second marker in the second display area, where the second marker indicates the second time position of the second time information and where the second marker indicates a second position of the second operation information of the second time-series of second operation information corresponding to the second time position.

3. The mobile terminal display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first operation information indicates data of either the outdoor unit or the indoor unit of the air conditioner, and the second operation information indicates data of either the outdoor unit or the indoor unit of the air conditioner,

wherein the data of the outdoor unit indicates at least one of an operating frequency, pressure on a high pressure side, pressure on a low pressure side, inverter primary current, inverter secondary current, outside air temperature of the compressor, and a total operational frequency of a plurality of compressors, and

wherein the data of the indoor unit indicates at least one of sucked air temperature, discharged air temperature, a temperature difference between the sucked air temperature the discharged air temperature, and a set temperature.

4. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 ,

wherein the controller is configured to:

receive an input to scroll the display to display information other than the information displayed in the first display area and the second display area.

5. The mobile terminal according to claim 3 ,

wherein the controller is configured to:

receive a selection indicating one or more data of the outdoor unit to be indicated by the first operation information or the second operation information, and

receive a selection indicating one or more data of the indoor unit to be indicated by the first operation information or the second operation information.

6. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 ,

wherein the controller is configured to:

display the first time-series of first operation information in a different style than the third time-series of third operation information.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an application program executed by a mobile terminal comprising a controller, a display connected to the controller, and a memory connected to the controller that stores operation information of an air conditioner having an indoor unit including an indoor heat exchanger and an outdoor unit including an outdoor heat exchanger and a compressor, the indoor unit being connected with the outdoor unit through refrigerant pipes, and the compressor circulating a refrigerant, the application program comprising:

displaying a first display area that includes a first time-series of first operation information indicating first data of the air conditioner, and first time information displayed along a horizontal axis;

displaying a second display area that includes a second time-series of second operation information indicating second data of the air conditioner, and second time information displayed along a horizontal axis; and

upon receiving a first selection of a first position of the first display area, display a first marker of the selected first position in the first display area that indicates a first time position of the first time information and that indicates a first position of the first operation information on the first time-series of first operation information corresponding to the first time position and simultaneously display a second marker in the second display area that indicates the first time position of the second time information and that indicates a first position of the second operation information of the second time-series of second operation information corresponding to the first time position,

wherein the first operation information indicates first data of one of the outdoor unit and the indoor unit and a third time-series of third operation information indicates third data of the other of the outdoor unit and the indoor unit indicated by the first operation information,

wherein the data of the first operation information and the data of the third operation information have different units from each other, and

wherein the program further comprises steps of:

displaying in the first display area the third time-series of third operation information indicating the third data, and

displaying the respective units on different vertical axes in the first display area.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein the controller is configured to:

display, in the first display area, a value of the first time position and a value of the first position of the first operation information of the first time-series, and

display, in the second display area, a value of the second time position and a value of the second position of the second operation information of the second time-series.
