Abstract
Provided herein is a network system (1) that includes: an electric apparatus (300); and a server (100) that computes a predicted absence time period by using prediction data concerning a user of the electric apparatus (300), and that detects an absence time in which nobody is detected, the server (100) causing the electric apparatus (300) to perform an absence-time operation upon detecting a first absence time in a period outside of the predicted absence time period, and causing the electric apparatus (300) to perform the absence-time operation upon detecting a second absence time, shorter than the first absence time, in a period within the predicted absence time period.
Claims8
A network system comprising:
- an electric apparatus;
- and
- a server that computes a predicted absence time period by using prediction data concerning a user of the electric apparatus, and that detects an absence time in which nobody is detected, the server causing the electric apparatus to perform an absence-time operation upon detecting a first absence time in a period outside of the predicted absence time period, and causing the electric apparatus to perform the absence-time operation upon detecting a second absence time, shorter than the first absence time, in a period within the predicted absence time period.
A server comprising:
- a communication interface for communicating with an electric apparatus;
- and
- a processor that, via the communication interface, computes a predicted absence time period by using prediction data concerning a user of the electric apparatus, and that detects an absence time in which nobody is detected, the processor causing the electric apparatus to perform an absence-time operation upon detecting a first absence time in a period outside of the predicted absence time period, and causing the electric apparatus to perform the absence-time operation upon detecting a second absence time, shorter than the first absence time, in a period within the predicted absence time period.
An information processing method for a server,
- the method comprising the steps of:
- computing, via the communication interface, a predicted absence time period by using prediction data concerning a user of an electric apparatus;
- detecting an absence time in which nobody is detected;
- causing the electric apparatus to perform an absence-time operation when a first absence time is detected in a period outside of the predicted absence time period;
- and
- causing the electric apparatus to perform the absence-time operation when a second absence time, shorter than the first absence time, is detected in a period within the predicted absence time period.
