1. An air conditioner management device that has a plurality of air conditioners as management targets, wherein the plurality of air conditioners have a plurality of working modes configured to be workable in at least cooling mode and heating mode, and wherein the air conditioner management device comprises:
a controller configured to:
generate, as for the plurality of air conditioners, display information on a summary screen including mode-specific working unit number information displaying a total number of air conditioners currently in an ON state in each of the plurality of working modes that have been set and mode-specific stopped unit number information displaying the total number of air conditioners currently in an OFF state in each of the plurality of working modes that have been set,
generate the summary screen further including first information for performing an operation of turning all the plurality of air conditioners arranged at positions corresponding to the mode-specific working unit number information into the ON state and second information for performing an operation of turning all the plurality of air conditioners arranged at positions corresponding to the mode-specific stopped unit number information into the OFF state, and
generate the summary screen such that the mode-specific working unit number information and the mode-specific stopped unit number information are aligned and arranged at vertically corresponding positions, the first information is arranged on a right side of the mode-specific working unit number information, and the second information is arranged on a right side of the mode-specific stopped unit number information; and
a display screen configured to display the display information generated by the controller, the display screen comprising a touch panel configured to display the display information generated by the controller and configured to detect a touch operation performed at any position in the display information displayed, wherein:
the controller is configured to generate the ON control information for switching all the plurality of air conditioners to the ON state when a touch operation on first information is detected, and generate the OFF control information for switching all the plurality of air conditioners to the OFF state when a touch operation on second information is detected.
