A display method includes: based on at least one of first information obtained by a control device including a display and second information obtained by a device other than the control device, changing an image used as a basic screen that is displayed on the display and is for controlling a control target device other than the control device by a user (S).

Display method, recording medium, and display system

A device control system includes: a touch panel that receives an execution instruction for scene control that operates at least part of a plurality of devices disposed in a facility in order to approximate an inside of the facility to a predetermined indoor environment; a controller that performs the scene control when the execution instruction for the scene control is received by the touch panel; and a communicator and an obtainer that obtain at least one of information indicating an environment condition in the facility or outside the facility, prediction information of the environment condition in the facility or outside the facility, and information about timing. The controller changes a content of the scene control according to the information obtained by the communicator and the obtainer.

Control system, scene control execution method, and recording medium

In a management device, a state determination table in a first storage portion indicates correspondence relationships in which target achievement levels are respectively associated with combinations with division periods and ranges of amount of power. An action table in a second storage portion indicates correspondence relationships with operations for making an execution portion perform and the target achievement levels. A first extraction portion extracts, from the state determination table, a target achievement level corresponding to a combination with a division period including a date acquired by a date acquisition portion and a range of amount of power including the amount of consumed power acquired by a power acquisition portion. A second extraction portion extracts, from the action table, an operation corresponding to the target achievement level extracted by the first extraction portion. An execution control portion controls the execution portion to perform the operation extracted by the second extraction portion.

Management device, management system, and program

An apparatus control device includes a first communicator which communicates with a mobile terminal, a second communicator which communicates with a plurality of electrical apparatuses, a setter which sets correspondence information in which identification information of the mobile terminal is associated with identification information of an electrical apparatus controllable by the mobile terminal, and a controller which controls, when the first communicator receives a control request to control a target electrical apparatus from the mobile terminal, communication of the second communicator such that the second communicator transmits a control command to the target electrical apparatus if the identification information of the mobile terminal is associated with identification information of the target electrical apparatus, and such that the second communicator does not transmit the control command to the target electrical apparatus if the identification information of the mobile terminal is not associated with the identification information of the target electrical apparatus.

Apparatus control device and apparatus control method

An object is to allow intuitively understand whether display information displayed on a display device indicates favorable state or unfavorable state for a user. An acquisition unitacquires energy-related information. A communication unitis connected to a display deviceand an operation device. Display information to be displayed on the display devicehas a stratum structure including first display information as a top tier and second display information, the first display information including at least two categories which express the favorability about the energy-related information, the second display information including plural kinds of information so that the lower tier includes more detailed information. An information generation unittransmits second display information to the display deviceupon receiving a request from the operation devicewhen first display information is displayed on the display device

Energy management assistance device, energy management assistance system, and program

A content reception/recording device for selectively receiving and accumulating transmitted contents. The content reception/recording device comprises: a receiving unit; an accumulation medium; a storage unit storing therein free time slot information that indicates a free time slot in which a predetermined operation specified by a user is not performed; an obtaining unit operable to obtain transmission timing information that indicates timings at which contents are transmitted respectively; a determining unit operable to, when a plurality of accumulation target contents are transmitted in the free time slot, determine priorities of the contents for being accumulated in the free time slot, in accordance with the transmission timing information obtained by the obtaining unit; and a control unit operable to control the receiving unit to receive the accumulation target contents in accordance with the determined priorities and to accumulate the received contents in the accumulation medium.
