Within a certain time period, an action is executed according to a circumstance in which a plurality of events occur. A linking server () includes (i) an event detecting section () which detects an occurrence of each of a plurality of events specified in a linking rule and (ii) an action execution control section () which controls a device controlling server () to execute an action in a case where an occurrence of one of the plurality of events is detected and then, within the certain time period, occurrences of all of remaining ones of the plurality of events are detected.

Operation execution control server, rule generation server, terminal device, linkage system, method for controlling operation execution control server, method for controlling rule generation server, method for controlling terminal device, and computer-readable recording medium

A HEMS controller repeatedly transmits a predetermined signal to a control-target appliance at a set time interval in order to detect a change in a status of the control-target appliance. If the status changes, the HEMS controller notifies a smartphone of the changed status via a server apparatus. In a state where the time interval is set to a first time interval, when receiving a control instruction for controlling an operation of the control-target appliance from the smartphone via the server apparatus, the HEMS controller transmits the control instruction to the control-target appliance. In response to the transmission of the control instruction to the control-target appliance, the HEMS controller changes the time interval to a second time interval shorter than the first time interval.

Communication system, relay apparatus, control apparatus, server apparatus, control method, and information processing method

A network system is provided that includes at least one terminal and a server. The server sends at least one terminal information for inhibiting sending of data from at least one terminal. At least one terminal each sends the server at least a part of obtained data according to the information from the server.
