Abstract:
A control method is provided for an information apparatus having a display and being connected to a network, one or more target devices being controlled over the network. The method causes a computer of the information apparatus to display a first display screen on the display when the first display screen is selected, the first display screen displaying one or more control icons that allow operation or state confirmation of the one or more target devices. The method also causes the computer to display a second display screen representing a floor plan of a building on the display when the second display screen is selected, and to display each of one or more device icons representing the one or more target devices on the second display screen representing the floor plan, where the floor plan includes one or more rooms.
Abstract:
A control method causing a computer of the information apparatus to: display a display screen on the display, the display screen representing a floor plan for one floor including at least two rooms; display device icons representing target devices on the display screen, the device icons including an illumination icon which represents illumination devices, the illumination icon being commonly used for the illumination devices installed in two or more rooms of the at least two rooms; and cause the floor plan represented by the display screen to function as an operation screen for controlling the illumination devices, and display a region of the floor plan with brightness less than specific brightness, when it is sensed that the illumination icon is selected, the region corresponding to a room in which an illumination device whose power is in an off state is installed.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for a communication device connectable to an information management system that makes a visit appointment with a service person. The communication device stores schedule information of a user of the communication device. The method causes a computer of the communication device to: display data which is generated using the schedule information and which includes a calendar; access the information management system to acquire candidate data indicating possible visit dates of the service person; determine candidate visit dates of the service person by excluding dates on which plans of the user are included in the schedule information, from the possible visit dates of the service person; display each display representing each of the candidate visit dates within each region corresponding to each day in the calendar; and display an appointment screen which sets one candidate visit date as a visit date of the service person.
Abstract:
A method includes: inputting information indicating power usage corresponding to each of the plurality of user IDs; generating a differential value between i) a first cumulative value of power usage corresponding to a first user ID and ii) a second cumulative value of power usage corresponding to a second user ID in a prescribed period; generating a first conversion value by converting the differential value to a use time of a first electric home appliance among electric home appliances corresponding to the first user ID; generating display data indicating that the differential value corresponds to the first conversion value; and transmitting the display data to an information terminal device corresponding to the first user ID.
Abstract:
In the case where selection of a device icon that represents an air conditioner and that is displayed in a region corresponding to one room on a floor plan is sensed in the region corresponding to the one room, an operation screen for operating the air conditioner corresponding to the selected device icon is displayed. In the case where a temperature is set on the basis of an operation of the operation screen, a control command for setting to the air conditioner the set temperature is output to the network, and information related to an operation state of the air conditioner is displayed in the region corresponding to the one room based on the operation of the operation screen.
Abstract:
A control method according to the present disclosure causes a computer of an information apparatus to: display a display screen representing a floor plan for one floor including at least two or more rooms; display an illumination icon representing the one or more illumination devices on the display screen representing the floor plan, the illumination icon being commonly used for the two or more rooms included in the floor plan; and output to the network a first control command, when selection of the illumination icon is sensed, and when selection of a first room among the at least two or more rooms included in the floor plan is sensed, the first control command controlling on/off of power for an illumination device corresponding to the first room.
Abstract:
A floor plan setting screen is provided with an add room button corresponding to each floor of a building. When the add room button is selected, a room addition screen with a list of room candidates is displayed. When any of the rooms is selected from the room candidates, a room icon for the selected room is added to the floor plan setting screen. As a result of repeating this process, the room icons are disposed in the floor plan setting screen.
Abstract:
A control method according to the present disclosure causes a computer of an information apparatus to: display on a display a display screen representing a floor plan including one or more rooms; and using at least one memory that associates first information indicating a type of each of one or more device icons representing one or more target devices with second information indicating an attribute of each of the one or more rooms, display each of the one or more device icons in a region on the display screen corresponding to a room that corresponds to each of the one or more device icons in accordance with the type of each of the one or more device icons.
Abstract:
In the case where selection of an icon representing an air conditioner is sensed in a region corresponding to a certain room on a floor plan, an operation screen for changing the setting of the air conditioner installed in the region corresponding to the certain room is displayed as overlapped on a display screen. An effect range, in which an effect due to an operation of the air conditioner extends based on the setting contents, is displayed in the region corresponding to the certain room.
Abstract:
A control method of the present disclosure causes a computer of an information apparatus to: display an operation icon for causing an operation screen for an electric shutter device to be displayed; display the operation screen which includes a shutter image representing a shutter of the electric shutter device when selection of the operation icon is sensed; when a swipe operation is sensed, output a movement control command for moving the shutter in a swipe direction, and move the shutter represented in the shutter image in accordance with a swipe amount of the swipe operation; and in a case where stop information is received and the shutter represented in the shutter image is varied into a closed state, return the shutter represented in the shutter image in a second direction opposite to a first direction which is a moving direction of the shutter represented in the shutter image.
