A management unit including: a demand plan generating unit that obtains control information items related to energy consuming appliances; an obtaining unit that obtains picture data items showing the appliances; a memory which stores the picture data items obtained by the obtaining unit; a selecting unit which selects a picture data item from selection candidates including the picture data items stored in the memory, based on a specified control mode; a processor that executes processing for superimposing the control information items corresponding to the appliances in the picture data item selected by the selecting unit; and an output unit which displays the picture data item with the superimposed control information item.

Apparatus and method for obtaining and displaying appliance photographic image and supplemental data

Apparatus and method

Display apparatus for control information, method for displaying control information, and system for displaying control information

A portable terminal includes a receiver, a barcode former configured to form barcodes and a display. The barcode former forms a barcode from the data received by the receiver and the display displays the formed barcode.

OFDM signal transmission system, portable terminal and E-commerce system

An electric power price information acquisition unit () acquires information related to an electric power purchase price, which is an electricity cost when an electronic device is operated using electric power supplied from a commercial power source, a price determination unit () determines, for each time block, a generated power price which is an electricity cost when an electronic device is operated using generated power of a power generator for generating power using natural energy, and a stored power price which is an electricity cost when an electronic device is operated using electric power stored in an electric storage device, and a user price list generation unit () generates an electric power price list capable of displaying, with regard to an arbitrary time block, the electric power purchase price, the generated power price and the stored power price.

Information processing apparatus, method for generating electric power price list, information processing system, and display device

The present invention provides an electronic wallet having a higher level of anonymity, security and convenience, which is capable of efficient electronizing of value information as well as which allows the user to efficiently manage the electronic value information. A presentation card indicating the fixed property of an electronic value is digitally signed by the service provider; a variable property is digitally signed with the private key of that electronic value. A service control, security information, representation control and representation resource are digitally signed by the service provider. These digital signature will be authenticated each time an electronic value object is generated.

Communication terminal and communication method using plural wireless communication schemes

A terminal device sets a beneficial use time slot for regarding the electrical consumption in the beneficial use time slot as the beneficial, a waste use time slot for regarding the electrical consumption in the waste use time slot as the waste, and an efficiency improvement time slot for regarding the electrical consumption in the efficiency improvement time slot as the electrical consumption to be reduced. On the basis of the data of an amount of the electrical consumption of the device to be monitored, calculating an amount of the electrical consumption in each the time slot and displaying an amount of the electrical consumption in each time slot are preformed.

Energy conservation analysis system

Provided is a control device that makes it possible to surely give an appropriate instruction to operate. An appliance control device that controls an electric appliance that performs one of a first operation and a second operation includes: a price obtaining unit that obtains information indicating a price of power; a detecting unit that detects a change in the price in a not shorter one of the first period and the second period, the price being indicated in the obtained information; a first calculating unit that calculates a first cost produced when the electric appliance performs the first operation, in the case where the change is detected; a second calculating unit that calculates a second cost produced when the electric appliance performs the second operation, in the case where the change is detected; a comparing unit; and an instructing unit that instructs performing of a determined operation.

Control device, integrated circuit, control method, and program for controlling an appliance performing different operations

The present invention provides an electronic wallet having a higher level of anonymity, security and convenience, which is capable of efficient electronizing of value information as well as which allows the user to efficiently manage the electronic value information. A presentation cardindicating the fixed property of an electronic value is digitally signed by the service provider; a variable propertyis digitally signed with the private key of that electronic value. A service control, security information, representation controland representation resourceare digitally signed by the service provider. These digital signature will be authenticated each time an electronic value object is generated.

An energy conservation diagnosis system manages electrical device K which consumes electricity to operate based on control schedule information, and includes acquiring unit 14, rule information generation unit 14, operating determination unit 14and display unit 12. Acquiring unit acquires operating information obtained by relating an operating condition of electrical device to a clock time. Rule information generation unit generates rule information by relating a rule on use of electrical device to a clock time, based on one or more predetermined time slots depending on a benefit of electricity consumed by electrical device. Operating determination unit acquires control schedule information of electrical device, and generates an image data by superimposing acquired control schedule information and rule information onto operating information so that each clock time is fitted to a clock time of operating information. Display unit displays the image data.
