Information processing device

Abstract

We provide information processing equipment and other devices that can perform control considering a wider range of situations. [Solution] In the control system 1, the information processing device 10, which operates in at least two operating modes, user mode and care mode, comprises a communication unit that transmits control signals to peripheral devices, which are home appliances installed in a room for controlling the living environment, to execute control; a storage unit that stores control content to be executed by the peripheral devices, corresponding to user mode and care mode, respectively; and a control unit that, using a detection device (peripheral device) that detects the presence of a person in the room, transmits a control signal from the communication unit to the peripheral device to execute the control content corresponding to user mode when it detects that only a person receiving care is in the room, and transmits a control signal from the communication unit to the peripheral device to execute the control content corresponding to care mode when it detects that another caregiver has entered the room.

Claims

1. An information processing device that operates in at least two operating modes: user mode and care mode, A communication unit that transmits control signals to peripheral devices, which are home appliances installed in a room for controlling the living environment, to execute control operations. A storage unit that stores control content to be executed by the peripheral device, corresponding to the user mode and the care mode, A control unit, which uses a detection device to detect the presence of a person in a room, and when it is detected that only the person being cared for is in the room, transmits a control signal from the communication unit to the peripheral device to execute the control content corresponding to the user mode, and when it is detected that an additional caregiver has entered the room, transmits a control signal from the communication unit to the peripheral device to execute the control content corresponding to the care mode, An information processing device equipped with the following features.

2. The storage unit stores the control content for each type of care that the caregiver intends to perform, corresponding to the care mode. The control unit identifies the type of care that the caregiver intends to perform based on the care tools brought by the caregiver, and, according to the identified type of care, causes the communication unit to transmit a control signal to the peripheral device that causes the control content stored in the storage unit to be executed. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the peripheral device comprises a drive unit capable of changing the state of a home appliance.
