An infrared output device is installed in a fixed apparatus whose position is fixed in a predetermined space. An input receiving device is configured to receive, through voice input, a control command to a first-type apparatus controllable by infrared ray. Upon the input receiving device receiving the control command, the infrared output device is configured to output infrared ray to the first-type apparatus.

Operating system, information processing device, control system, and infrared output device

An operating system that can control any apparatus is provided. The operating system includes an input receiving device, a first information processing device, a second information processing device, and an infrared output device. The operating system operates a first-type apparatus operable by communication of an infrared pattern and a second-type apparatus operable via a network. The first information processing device is connected to the input receiving device and configured to analyze operation information corresponding to an input operation. The second information processing device is configured to control the second-type apparatus (controlled apparatus (B)) via the network based on a control instruction. The infrared output device is configured to output an infrared pattern corresponding to a control instruction to the first-type apparatus (controlled apparatus (A)).

A setting facilitation apparatus () includes a keyword input reception section (), a control command selection section (), and a specific control registration section () and is used to facilitate setting of specific control in a control system () that controls a control device through sound inputs. The keyword input reception section () receives an input of information corresponding to a keyword. The control command selection section () displays a certain control command to the control device () on an edit screen (G) and receives selection of the control command. The specific control registration section () registers a keyword (K) input by the keyword input reception section () and the control command selected by the control command selection section () to a specific control (DBT) while associating the keyword and the control command with each other.

Device control system

An operating system includes an air conditioner and an infrared output device. The air conditioner includes an indoor unit. The infrared output device is configured to receive first information on an instruction to a first-type apparatus other than the air conditioner and operable by an infrared signal and transmit an infrared signal corresponding to the first information to the first-type apparatus. The air conditioner further includes a management device configured to manage the first-type apparatus. The management device includes a command information receiving unit configured to receive second information on a command content, and a determination unit configured to determine whether there is a deviation between a behavior of the first-type apparatus and the command content, based on the behavior of the first-type apparatus and the second information.
