A computer is used to obtain arrival time required for a user of a washing machine to arrive at an installation position of the washing machine based on a position of the user and the installation position, and when it is determined that the washing machine is performing washing based on operation information of the washing machine, when the arrival time is longer than washing completion time required for the washing machine to complete washing, to transmit instruction infomiation for adding a process of soaking laundry in water by the washing machine or for changing time in the process to the washing machine.

Control method and washing machine

A washing machine includes: a drum that rotates with a washing or drying object contained in the drum; a motor that rotationally drives the drum; a controller that controls rotation of the motor; and an electric current measurer that measures an electric current value representing an electric current flowing in the motor. The controller controls the rotation of the motor to rotate the drum less than one turn, and in accordance with the measured electric current value, detects whether a foreign object that is different from the object and whose mass is greater than an expected mass of the object is inside the drum. In a case where the controller detects the foreign object, the controller stops operation of the washing machine.

An encryption method includes displaying encryption target data on a display screen as an image, performing first acceptance in which designation of an at least partial region of the displayed image is accepted, performing second acceptance in which designation regarding splitting of the designated at least partial region is accepted, and splitting data that is included in the encryption target data and corresponds to the designated at least partial region in accordance with the designation regarding the splitting under a secret sharing scheme.

When a process judging unit judges that a target process is a protected process, a key judging unit judges whether a target key that is a key generated by a key generating unit is a first key or a second key. When the key judging unit judges that the target key is the first key, a VM communication managing unit notifies the target process of a memory ID of a protected memory region corresponding to the first key. When the process judging unit judges that the target process is an unprotected process, a key transforming unit transforms the target key from the first key to the second key based on the key transformation rule. An HV communication managing unit notifies the target process of a memory ID of an unprotected memory region corresponding to the second key.
