Abstract
Provided are a device control apparatus, a device control method, and a device control system which prevent a conflict from occurring in RPCs simultaneously transmitted from a plurality of applications to the same device, so that RPCs can be applied to exercise control over devices in an IoT system of a many-to-many connection which cannot accept non-completion of a series of processing operations in cooperation. The device control apparatus includes a memory () in which information on a device () and an identifier of the device () is stored, and a memory () in which authority of the devicefor each application () is stored. The device control apparatus includes a memory () configured to store information on a device () and an identifier of the device (), and a memory () configured to store authority for controlling the devicefor each application (). The apparatus, the method, and the system provide, in accordance with a request signal from, e.g., an application () control authority to the application (), if the application () has control authority for all devices () as a control object, and transmit a remote control signal from the application () to devices () as a control object while excluding a control authority for other applications () to control the devices ().
