The control unit determines whether or not each of the commands for the projector can be executed on the basis of state information of the projector, the state information being acquired through the communication unit, updates the flags on the basis of the determination result, generates character string information from voice data acquired by the voice acquisition unit, acquires a command in which an executable flag is set from the storage unit using the character string information as a search key, and transmits the acquired command to the projector.
