Claims8
A control device comprising:
- at least one memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
- display multiple state icons associated with multiple different states of a control target;
- control the control target to transition among the multiple different states;
- display in a second display area, based on a selection of one of the multiple state icons, a list of thumbnail images for multiple control targets in a state indicated by a selected state icon of the multiple state icons;
- display in a first display area, based on a selection of one of the thumbnail images, an image relating to a control target corresponding to a selected thumbnail image among the multiple control targets in the state indicated by the selected state icon;
- and
- transmit a control signal for controlling the state of the control target to the control target, based on a thumbnail image selected by an operation for selecting one of the thumbnail images in the list and a state icon selected by an operation for selecting one of the multiple state icons, so that the control target relating to the thumbnail image that is selected is put in the state represented by the state icon that is selected.

A processing method comprising:
- displaying multiple state icons associated with multiple different states of a control target, the control target being configured to transition among the multiple different states;
- displaying in a second display area, based on a selection of one of the multiple state icons, a list of thumbnail images for multiple control targets in a state indicated by a selected state icon of the multiple state icons;
- displaying in a first display area, based on a selection of one of the thumbnail images, an image relating to a control target corresponding to a selected thumbnail image among the multiple control targets in the state indicated by the selected state icon;
- and
- transmitting a control signal for controlling the state of the control target to the control target, based on a thumbnail image selected by an operation for selecting one of the thumbnail images in the list and a state icon selected by an operation for selecting one of the multiple state icons, so that the control target relating to the thumbnail image that is selected is put in the state represented by the state icon that is selected.

A non-transitory storage medium that stores a program configured to cause a computer to perform processes, the processes comprising:
- displaying multiple state icons associated with multiple different states of a control target, the control target being configured to transition among the multiple different states;
- displaying in a second display area, based on a selection of one of the multiple state icons, a list of thumbnail images for multiple control targets in a state indicated by a selected state icon of the multiple state icons;
- displaying in a first display area, based on a selection of one of the thumbnail images, an image relating to a control target corresponding to a selected thumbnail image among the multiple control targets in the state indicated by the selected state icon;
- and
- transmitting a control signal for controlling the state of the control target to the control target, based on a thumbnail image selected by an operation for selecting one of the thumbnail images in the list and a state icon selected by an operation for selecting one of the multiple state icons, so that the control target relating to the thumbnail image that is selected is put in the state represented by the state icon that is selected.
