Further, in step 3d, it is determined whether or not there is a rotation operation on the rotation operation body 22, and if there is a rotation operation, the process proceeds to step 4d, and if not, the process returns to step 2.
Note that, as another example, in place of the rotating operation, there is a mode in which the process proceeds to step 4d on condition that there is a swipe operation on the screen being displayed, or there is either the rotating operation or the swipe operation. It is also possible to set the condition to proceed to step 4d.

  In step 4d, the switchgear selection routine shown in FIG. 6 is performed, and then the process returns to step 2.

  In the switchgear selection routine (see FIG. 6), the wearable computer 20 first displays the switchgear selection screen 26 (see FIG. 4) on the touch panel display 21 (step 11).

Here, the "switching device selection screen" is a screen for selecting a switching device to be operated. On this switchgear selection screen, a plurality of types of select buttons 26a corresponding to a plurality of switchgears are scrollably displayed, and only the button located in the center can be touch-inputted.
For example, in the display example of the switchgear selection screen 26 shown in FIG. 4, a button corresponding to the switchgear of the "first floor living room" is arranged in the center, and a button corresponding to the switchgear of the "first floor Japanese-style room" is located above it. The buttons are arranged on the lower side and correspond to the opening and closing device of the "garage", and these buttons are displayed in a scrollable manner, and the button located in the center ("1st floor living room" in the illustrated example) Only touch input is possible.
Note that FIG. 4 schematically shows an image of the switchgear selection screen 26, and the number of selection buttons 26a does not correspond to the number of switchgear 1 and 2 shown in FIG. , These numbers are supported.

In the next step 12, it is determined whether or not there is a rotating operation on the rotating operation body 22, and if there is a rotating operation, the process proceeds to step 13, and if not, the process proceeds to step 12a.
In step 12a, it is determined whether or not a swipe operation has been performed on the switchgear selection screen 26, and if the swipe operation has been performed, the process proceeds to step 13, otherwise the process jumps to step 14.

  In step 13, the opening / closing device selection screen 26 is scrolled in the direction of the rotation operation on the rotating operation body 22 or the swipe operation on the opening / closing device selection screen 26, and the process proceeds to step 14.

  Note that, as another example, it is possible to omit either step 12 or step 12a and make the switch device selection screen 26 scrollable only by the rotation operation or the swipe operation. ..

  In step 14, it is determined whether or not the switchgear 1 (or 2) is selected depending on the presence / absence of touch input to the specific selection button 26a of the switchgear select screen 26, and the switchgear 1 (or 2) is selected. If so, the process proceeds to the next step 15, otherwise the process returns to step 12.

  In step 15, the selected switchgear 1 (or 2) is set as an operation target, and the process returns to step 2 described above.

Next, the characteristic effects of this embodiment will be described.
First, when the switchgear operating program is started, the switchgear 1 (or 2) that has been operated most recently is set as an operation target. In general, the switchgear 1 (or 2) that has been operated most recently is likely to be the target of re-operation, so that the re-operation can be performed quickly.
When the crown type rotary operation body 22 is rotated, the switchgear selection screen 26 is displayed and the switchgear 1, 2 to be operated can be easily selected.
After the operation target is determined, only the necessary operation button (touch input image) is displayed according to the received switchgear state signal, so that the appropriate operation is performed according to the state of the switchgear 1, 2. Can be done quickly.
