Remote-control apparatus, local-control apparatus, learning processing apparatus, method, and recording medium

A local-control apparatus, comprising:

• a measurement value transmitting unit for transmitting a measurement value related to equipment to a remote-control apparatus configured to calculate a control value corresponding to a measurement value;
• a control value receiving unit for receiving, from the remote-control apparatus, a plurality of control values corresponding to the measurement value transmitted by the measurement value transmitting unit;
• a selecting unit for selecting a control value to be used for control of the equipment among the plurality of control values, depending on control delay including communication delay with the remote-control apparatus;
• and
• a controlling unit for performing the control of the equipment according to the control value selected by the selecting unit.

A method, comprising:

• receiving a measurement value related to equipment from a local-control apparatus configured to control the equipment;
• calculating a control value corresponding to the measurement value received in the receiving and a delay amount, by using a model configured to calculate a control value that should be used for control of the equipment when there is caused control delay including communication delay with the local-control apparatus, from a delay amount corresponding to the control delay and a measurement value;
• and
• transmitting the control value calculated in the calculating, to the local-control apparatus.

A recording medium for recording thereon a program that causes a computer to function as:

• a measurement value receiving unit for receiving a measurement value related to equipment from a local-control apparatus configured to control the equipment;
• a calculating unit for calculating a control value corresponding to the measurement value received by the measurement value receiving unit and a delay amount, by using a model configured to calculate a control value that should be used for control of the equipment when there is caused control delay including communication delay with the local-control apparatus, from a delay amount corresponding to the control delay and a measurement value;
• and
• a control value transmitting unit for transmitting the control value calculated by the calculating unit to the local-control apparatus.
