Switch, device control method, and program

A device control method used in a switch including a manipulation display including a manipulation section and a display section, the method comprising:

• a process step of selecting one of a first state for giving an instruction as to operation of a specific device and a second state for giving an instruction as to operation of a prescribed device determined so as to correspond to a specific scene;
• and
• an output step of outputting an instruction signal according to the first state or the second state selected in the process step when the manipulation display is manipulated, wherein:
• in the process step, one of the first state and the second state is selected in response to a specific manipulation performed on the manipulation display,
• in the process step, a specific live scene is selected, as the specific scene, from a plurality of live scenes when the second state is selected, the specific live scene being associated with an established condition among a plurality of predetermined conditions associated with the plurality of live scenes, and
• in the process step, the display section displays a diagram reminding of the specific scene.

A program configured to cause a computer to function as a processor in a switch, the switch including:

• a manipulation display including a manipulation section and a display section;
• the processor configured to select one of a first state for giving an instruction as to operation of a specific device and a second state for giving an instruction as to operation of a prescribed device which is determined so as to correspond to a specific scene;
• and
• an outputter configured to output an instruction signal according to the first state or the second state selected by the processor when the manipulation display is manipulated,
• wherein the processor is configured to select one of the first state and the second state in response to a specific manipulation performed on the manipulation display,
• the processor selects, as the specific scene, a specific live scene from a plurality of live scenes when the second state is selected, the specific live scene being associated with an established condition among a plurality of predetermined conditions associated with the plurality of live scenes, and
• the processor causes the display section to display a diagram representing the specific scene.
