1. An air-conditioning operation terminal comprising:
processing circuitry
to acquire a photographed image obtained by photographing an air-conditioning indoor unit including a plurality of air outlets;
an image collation unit to collate a template image wherein an air-conditioning indoor unit of a same type as the air-conditioning indoor unit is shown with the photographed image;
to determine, based on a collation result, and an air outlet identification data indicating an air outlet identifier to be associated with each of a plurality of air outlets in the template image, the air outlet identifier of each of the plurality of air outlets in the photographed image; and
to display the photographed image by superimposing the air outlet identifier on each of the plurality of air outlets in the photographed image, wherein
the air-conditioning indoor unit further includes an expansion part,
an air conditioner including the air-conditioner indoor unit stores relative position data indicating a relative position between the expansion part and each of the plurality of air outlets, and the air outlet identifier of each of the plurality of air outlets, and
the processing circuitry acquires the relative position data by communicating with the air conditioner, and generates the air outlet identification data based on the relative position data, and on a relative position between the expansion part and each of the plurality of air outlets in the template image.
