Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus management device configured to manage one or more apparatuses that control a work environment of a workspace. The apparatus management device includes a storage part configured to store an associated relationship between the users and parameters indicating the work environment, an apparatus management part configured to specify a user in the workspace from an image of the workspace, a calculating part configured to calculate a setting value for controlling the work environment based on a parameter stored in association with the user specified by the apparatus management part, and a transmitting part configured to transmit the setting value calculated by the calculating part to one of the apparatuses that control the work environment.
Claims11
An apparatus management device configured to manage one or more apparatuses that control a work environment of a workspace, the apparatus management device comprising:
- a storage part configured to store an associated relationship between the users and parameters indicating the work environment;
- an apparatus management part configured to specify a user in the workspace from an image of the workspace;
- a calculating part configured to calculate a setting value for controlling the work environment based on a parameter stored in association with the user specified by the apparatus management part;
- and
- a transmitting part configured to transmit the setting value calculated by the calculating part to one of the apparatuses that control the work environment.
An apparatus management system comprising:
- one or more apparatuses configured to control a work environment of a workspace;
- an imaging part configured to image the workspace for users;
- and
- an apparatus management device configured to manage the apparatuses;
- a storage part configured to store an associated relationship between the users and parameters indicating the work environment;
- an apparatus management part configured to specify a user in the workspace from the image of the workspace;
- a calculating part configured to calculate a setting value for controlling the work environment based on the parameter stored in association with the user specified by the apparatus management part;
- and
- a transmitting part configured to transmit the setting value calculated by the calculating part to one of the apparatuses that control the work environment.
A method for controlling an apparatus management system, the apparatus management system including one or more apparatuses configured to control a work environment, an imaging part configured to image the workspace, and an apparatus management device configured to manage the apparatuses, the method comprising:
- storing an associated relationship between the users and parameters indicating the work environment;
- specifying a user in the workspace from the image of the workspace;
- calculating a setting value for controlling the work environment based on the parameter stored in association with the specified user;
- and
- transmitting the calculated setting value to one of the apparatuses that control the work environment.
