Remote-control apparatus, local-control apparatus, learning processing apparatus, method, and recording medium that compensates for delay of transmitted measurement values

A local-control apparatus, comprising at least one processor, wherein:

• the at least one processor transmits a measurement value related to equipment to a remote-control apparatus;
• the remote-control apparatus calculates a plurality of control values using the measurement value;
• the at least one processor receives, from the remote-control apparatus, the plurality of control values corresponding to the measurement value;
• the at least one processor selects a selected control value used to control the equipment, from among the plurality of control values, depending on a control delay caused by communication delay between the local-control apparatus and the remote-control apparatus;
• the at least one processor performs the control of the equipment according to the selected control value, and
• wherein the plurality of control values are calculated from the control delay and the measurement value as an output of a model.

A method, using at least one processor, comprising:

• receiving, using the at least one processor, a measurement value related to equipment from a local-control apparatus that is used to control the equipment;
• calculating, using the at least one processor, a control value corresponding to the measurement value and a delay amount, by using a model that calculates from the delay amount and the measurement value the control value, wherein the control value is used to control of the equipment when there is control delay caused by communication delay between a remote-control apparatus and the local-control apparatus, wherein the control delay is derived from the delay amount and the measurement value;
• and
• transmitting, using the at least one processor, the control value to the local-control apparatus and controlling the equipment using the control value.

A non-transitory recording medium for recording thereon a program that causes a computer comprising at least one processor to function as:

• a measurement value receiving unit that receives a measurement value related to equipment from a local-control apparatus, that is used to control the equipment;
• a calculating unit that calculates a control value, corresponding to the measurement value and a delay amount, using a model that calculates from the delay amount and the measurement value the control value that is used for control of the equipment when there is control delay caused by communication delay between a remote-control apparatus and the local-control apparatus, wherein the control delay is derived from a delay amount corresponding to the control delay and a measurement value;
• and
• a control value transmitting unit that transmits the control value calculated by the calculating unit to the local-control apparatus,
• wherein the equipment is controlled by the transmitted control value.

A method, using at least one processor, comprising:

• transmitting, using the at least one processor, a measurement value, related to equipment to a remote-control apparatus, that is used to calculate a plurality of control values at the remote-control apparatus corresponding to the measurement value;

• selecting, using the at least one processor, a selected control value used to control the equipment, from among the plurality of control values, depending on a control delay caused by communication delay between a local-control apparatus and the remote-control apparatus;
• and
• controlling, using the at least one processor, the equipment according to the selected control value,
• wherein the plurality of control values are calculated from the control delay and the measurement value as an output of a model.

A non-transitory recording medium for recording thereon a program that causes a computer comprising at least one processor to function as:
