Abstract
An appliance control method includes: acquiring a user action of a user; predicting a plurality of action information items about future user actions of the user based on the user action, the plurality of action information items including a plurality of actions and predicted times at which the plurality of actions are predicted to be performed; determining appliance control operations corresponding to the plurality of actions based on the plurality of actions and the predicted times; and performing the appliance control operations based on the predicted times.
Claims11
An appliance control method comprising:
- acquiring a user action of a user;
- predicting a plurality of action information items about future user actions of the user based on the user action, the plurality of action information items including a plurality of actions and predicted times at which the plurality of actions are predicted to be performed;
- determining appliance control operations corresponding to the plurality of actions based on the plurality of actions and the predicted times;
- and
- performing the appliance control operations based on the predicted times.
An appliance control device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory,
- wherein the processor:
- (a) acquires a user action of a user sensed by a sensor;
- (b) predicts a plurality of action information items about future user actions of the user based on the user action, the plurality of action information items including a plurality of actions and predicted times at which the plurality of actions are predicted to be performed;
- (c) determines appliance control operations corresponding to the plurality of actions based on the plurality of actions and the predicted times by referencing a rule recorded in the memory;
- and
- (d) performs the appliance control operations based on the predicted times.
