    Abstract: An information management method collects log information of one or more home electrical apparatuses corresponding to service providers. Display screen data is generated which indicates a status of the log information. The display screen data includes groups of information which each contain information on an apparatus, a service provider corresponding to the apparatus, and log information output from the apparatus. Provision of the log information of each group is individually selectable. The display screen data is provided via a network to a display terminal that performs access to a server device. Information is received from the display terminal, which indicates that selection on whether or not provision of the log information is performed. Provision of the log information is stopped on the selected group when a determination is made that refusal of provision of the log information on the selected group is performed.

    Abstract: A server apparatus receives a device ID indicating one electrical home appliance among one or more electrical home appliances and a gateway ID indicating that the one electrical home appliance belongs to a same owner, a same group, or a same home as the one or more electrical home appliances, determines whether or not the one electrical home appliance is a newly connected electrical home appliance, using a management database that manages device IDs indicating the one or more electrical home appliances and the gateway ID, and when it is determined made that the one electrical home appliance is a newly connected electrical home appliance, provides an information device, which is associated with the gateway ID and which differs from the one electrical home appliance, with notification information for confirming whether or not it is to be permitted to collect the log information from the one electrical home appliance.

    Abstract: A usual setting state in accordance with a current in-house state and a device state is selected using an acquired in-house state and a device state from a plurality of setting states classified in advance in accordance with in-house states and device states. When the selected usual setting state and the acquired setting state differ from each other, a first notification that notifies a user of the difference is performed and a state of an information terminal is transitioned to a state where an input for remotely controlling a second device can be accepted.

    Abstract translation: 根据当前的内部状态和设备状态,根据内部状态和设备状态从预先分类的多个设置状态中使用获取的内部状态和设备状态来选择通常的设置状态。 当所选择的通常设置状态和获取的设置状态彼此不同时,执行向用户通知差异的第一通知,并且信息终端的状态转变为用于远程控制第二设备的输入的状态 被接受。

    Abstract: A control method includes: displaying candidate information on a user interface region of a display unit in an information terminal; obtaining, via a network, an operation history of each of apparatuses which indicates an operation performed on the corresponding apparatus; displaying, on the user interface region, a dialog for prompting a user to confirm whether or not to perform predetermined control on a target apparatus which is extracted according to at least one of (a) selected apparatus information (b) selected place information and (c) selected operator information, and has an operation history that satisfies a predetermined condition; generating a control signal for performing the predetermined control on the target apparatus, when the user confirms in the dialog that the predetermined control is to be performed on the target apparatus; and transmitting the control signal to the target apparatus via the network.
