Apparatus control system and apparatus control method

Abstract

There is provided an apparatus control system capable of preferably completing a process requiring a time, in accordance with a change of user behavior during control of linked operation. An apparatus control device (120) includes a future condition estimation unit (124), a control apparatus decision unit (126), and the like. An apparatus (130) includes a prediction information acquisition unit (131), an operation content decision unit (132), and the like. Thus, in accordance with the change of the current condition of the user, a future condition prediction is modified and the apparatus operation content is decided according to the prediction change. Accordingly, eve if the user behavior is changed, it is possible to complete a process requiring a time in accordance of the user behavior and start control of the apparatus before the user behavior.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technique of controlling the linkage work of multiple machines, and in particular to a machine control system which controls the above-mentioned linkage work by utilizing the user's action mode. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, as a method of synchronously operating a plurality of appliances (for example, home appliances), there is a method in which the operation of a certain home appliance is used as an opportunity to start the operation of another home appliance, and sequentially controlled (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). . This method is suitable for the automation of "a series of jobs" such as continuously controlling home appliances. For example, it is suitable for the automation of a series of operations in the following multiple home appliances, that is, "turn on the power of the DVD player, turn on the power of the TV, convert the external input of the TV to a video input, start the ...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the above-mentioned conventional system is a system including household appliances such as "room temperature control" of an air conditioner or "rice cooking" of a rice cooker, etc., which require a certain amount of time to control, and the system cannot cope with the following cases, That is, according to changes in user behavior, it is necessary to change the completion time of the above-mentioned processing that takes a certain period of time during the above-mentioned control

[0005] That is, in the conventional method, there is a problem that in the case of controlling the linked operation including home appliances that take a certain time, because the change of the user's behavior cannot be responded to, the control cannot be completed at an appropriate timing, and the convenience is lacking.
