Housing device, control device, non-transitory computer-readable medium, and method of detecting wireless communication device in the housing device

A control device adapted to be installed in a housing device equipped with a housing defining a space in which a wireless communication device for remotely controlling a controlled device with actuation of a movable member is to be housed, the control device comprising:

• an interface configured to receive a trigger signal;
• and
• a processor configured to actuate the movable member with motions of the actuator in accordance with the trigger signal,
• wherein the processor is configured to cause a notification device to perform notification of a fact that the wireless communication device is not housed in the space, in a case where an amount of change per unit time of a physical quantity that changes in accordance with the motions of the actuator exceeds a first threshold value.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored a computer program adapted to be executed by a processor adapted to be installed in a housing device equipped with a housing defining a space in which a wireless communication device for remotely controlling a controlled device with actuation of a movable member is to be housed, the computer program causing, when executed, the housing device to perform:

• receive a trigger signal;
• actuate the movable member with motions of the actuator in accordance with the trigger signal;
• and
• cause a notification device to perform notification of a fact that the wireless communication device is not housed in the space, in a case where an amount of change per unit time of a physical quantity that changes in accordance with the motions of the actuator exceeds a first threshold value.

A method of detecting whether a wireless communication device for remotely controlling a controlled device with actuation of a movable member is housed in a space defined by a housing included in a housing device, the method comprising:

• causing the housing device to receive a trigger signal;
• causing motions of an actuator to actuate the movable member in accordance with the trigger signal;
• and
• causing a notification device to perform notification of a fact that the wireless communication device is not housed in the space, in a case where an amount of change per unit time of a physical quantity that changes in accordance with the motions of the actuator exceeds a first threshold value.
