Abstract
The object is to appropriately control a frequency of performing the link process. A link device detects a movement of a user based on a result of a link process for linking an outlet and an electronic appliance used by the user. The link device also detects a scheduled event from a schedule of the user. In case an event is detected, the link device calculates a difference between a scheduled time when the event will occur and the current time, and increases a frequency of performing the link process as the calculated difference gets smaller. In case the movement detection unit does not detect a movement of the user by the scheduled event time, the link device increases the frequency of performing the link process larger than a current frequency being used.
