Abstract:
A control method used in a remote control system according to the present disclosure includes: a step of displaying candidates for a target apparatus to be controlled among apparatuses on a user interface region of a display unit of an information terminal; a step of obtaining, via a network, control indexes used to determine a display mode for the user interface region; a step of displaying, on the user interface region, one or more control menus in a display mode determined based on a selected target apparatus and the control indexes; a step of generating a control signal for causing the target apparatus to perform an operation according to control corresponding to a control menu, when the control menu is selected from the one or more displayed control menus; and a step of transmitting the control signal to the target apparatus via the network.
Abstract:
Acquiring correspondence among a plurality of time zones and target upper limit temperatures and target lower limit temperatures of the air conditioner that correspond to the respective plurality of time zones. A display allows a user to set the preset temperatures of the air conditioner in the respective plurality of time zones. The display includes a graph region having a first axis corresponding to the plurality of time zones and a second axis corresponding to the preset temperatures of the air conditioner. The graph region includes, in each of the plurality of time zones, a first temperature region having a first appearance and a second temperature region displayed having a second appearance. A symbol indicative of a corresponding preset temperature is displayed in the first temperature region in a corresponding one of the plurality of time zones in the graph region.
Abstract:
A control method is used in a remote control system including apparatuses and an information terminal that controls the apparatus(es) via a network. The control method includes: determining whether or not communication currently performed by the information terminal via the network is secure; displaying, for each apparatus, an icon for displaying control menus of a corresponding apparatus on a user interface region of a display unit in the information terminal in a display mode determined according to the determined security; displaying, on the user interface region, the control menus for controlling the corresponding apparatus, if the icon is selected; generating a control signal for causing the corresponding apparatus to perform an operation according to control corresponding to a first control menu, if the first control menu s selected from the displayed control menus; and transmitting the control signal to the corresponding apparatus via the network.
Abstract:
A control method according to the present disclosure is used in a remote control system including apparatuses and an information terminal that controls at least one of the apparatuses via a network. The control method includes: a step (S2) of displaying, on a user interface region of a display unit of the information terminal, apparatus icons indicating target apparatus candidates among the apparatuses; a step (S3) of obtaining, via the network, (a) apparatus state information related to the apparatuses and (b) sensor information that is a value indicating a spatial environment in which the apparatuses are located; and a step (S4) of (i) determining priorities of the target apparatus candidates based on the apparatus state information and the sensor information, all of which are obtained in the step (S3), and (ii) sorting, according to the determined priorities, the apparatus icons displayed on the user interface region.
Abstract:
This information processing device enables a user to easily move objects between applications simultaneously displayed on touch panels. The information processing device is provided with touch panels on which applications are simultaneously displayed. A touch panel coordinate management unit detects that an application object has existed for a prescribed time in a defined area of the touch panel when the object is being dragged. An application control unit and a display control unit move the display of the application to a position that allows the object to be dropped as a trigger for detecting the existence of the object in the defined area.
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.
