Abstract
Abstract A system for remote temperature supervision and temperature control of a large and multispace, complex air-conditioning system wherein a central console is connected over a transmission circuit to a plurality of groups of remote apparatus. The console has a cathode ray tube for displaying a pictorial showing of a schematic layout of any one of the plurality of groups of apparatus. The cathode ray tube is selectively energized to obtain from a continuously updated memory one of a number of pictorial showings upon an operator at the central console associating the console and supervision apparatus of the console with one particular group of apparatus. The pictorial showing can be referred to for the identification of the particular apparatus to be supervised and/or controlled.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
275 words
In a system for remote supervision and control of a plurality of air-conditioning apparatuses, a central station comprising: a console of supervision and control apparatus whereby a human operator can supervise various operating conditions of a remote air-conditioning apparatus and control selected apparatus associated with a remote air-conditioning apparatus, and electric signal generated display means comprising electrical storage means for displaying a selected showing of a remote air-conditioning apparatus, a plurality of remote groups of stations having air-conditioning apparatus to be supervised and controlled by the human operator at said central station, transmission means connecting each of said groups of remote stations to said central station, means associated with the air-conditioning apparatus of each of said groups of remote stations for obtaining present airconditioning operating condition information of said airconditioning apparatus of selected stations and storing said present information in said electrical storage means, said electrical storage means having stored therein pictorial showings of said air-conditioning apparatus of each of said remote groups of stations with said present air-conditioning operating condition information, and further means associated with said console in said central station whereby the human operator can select one airconditioning apparatus of one of said groups of remote stations to be associated with said supervision and control apparatus of said console and simultaneously select from said electrical storage means electric signals for generating a pictorial showing of said one air-conditioning apparatus of said one group of stations with said present air-conditioning operating information of said one air-conditioning apparatus displayed on said pictorial showing, said pictorial showing being used by the human operator for aiding in the supervision and control of said one air-conditioning apparatus.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
275 words
In a system for remote supervision and control of a plurality of air-conditioning apparatuses, a central station comprising: a console of supervision and control apparatus whereby a human operator can supervise various operating conditions of a remote air-conditioning apparatus and control selected apparatus associated with a remote air-conditioning apparatus, and electric signal generated display means comprising electrical storage means for displaying a selected showing of a remote air-conditioning apparatus, a plurality of remote groups of stations having air-conditioning apparatus to be supervised and controlled by the human operator at said central station, transmission means connecting each of said groups of remote stations to said central station, means associated with the air-conditioning apparatus of each of said groups of remote stations for obtaining present airconditioning operating condition information of said airconditioning apparatus of selected stations and storing said present information in said electrical storage means, said electrical storage means having stored therein pictorial showings of said air-conditioning apparatus of each of said remote groups of stations with said present air-conditioning operating condition information, and further means associated with said console in said central station whereby the human operator can select one airconditioning apparatus of one of said groups of remote stations to be associated with said supervision and control apparatus of said console and simultaneously select from said electrical storage means electric signals for generating a pictorial showing of said one air-conditioning apparatus of said one group of stations with said present air-conditioning operating information of said one air-conditioning apparatus displayed on said pictorial showing, said pictorial showing being used by the human operator for aiding in the supervision and control of said one air-conditioning apparatus.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
The invention of claim 1 wherein said display means comprises a cathode-ray tube and said storage means comprises a memory for providing electrical outputs to selectively energize said cathode-ray tube for generating a pictoriaL showing of one remote group of air-conditioning apparatus with said present air-conditioning operating condition information of said apparatus of said one remote group.
