Abstract
A control apparatus in a crime prevention system comprises a communication unit that notifies each managed apparatus that the application of power to that apparatus is to be managed; a registration unit that, in response to an answer to the notification from an apparatus, registers the apparatus as a managed apparatus to indicate that the application of power to the apparatus is to be managed; and a power control unit that controls whether to apply power to the apparatus based on information registered with the registration unit.
Claims14
A control apparatus comprising:
- a communication unit notifying each of devices existing under control that said device is a control target device to be controlled as to power-on permissibility;
- a registration unit registering said device as said control target device to be controlled as to the power-on permissibility when accepting a response to the notification;
- a power source control unit controlling the power-on permissibility of said control target device on the basis of information registered on said registration unit;
- and a group setting unit setting any one or more devices in any one or more control target device groups in a plurality of control target device groups,
- wherein said power source control unit controls the power-on permissibility for every control target device group with respect to said device set in each of said control target device groups.
A device comprising:
- a setting unit setting as to whether or not said device itself is under control of a control apparatus on a network;
- a control unit querying said control apparatus about a state of registration of said device itself when the setting of being under the control is done by said setting unit;
- and
- a switch unit connecting a body unit of said device to a power source in a disconnectable manner,
- wherein said control unit instructs said switch unit to conduct the power-on of the body unit of said device when a response to the query contains information indicating permission of the power-on.
A power source control method for a device, comprising:
- a communication step of notifying each of devices existing under control that said device is a control target device to be controlled as to power-on permissibility;
- a registration step of registering said device as said control target device to be controlled as to the power-on permissibility when accepting a response to the notification;
- a power source control step of controlling the power-on permissibility of said control target device on the basis of information registered on said registration unit;
- and a group setting step of setting any one or more devices in any one or more control target device groups in a plurality of control target device groups,
- wherein said power source control step includes controlling the power-on permissibility for every control target device group with respect to said device set in each of said control target device groups.
A power source control method for a device having a body unit connected to a power source in a disconnectable manner, comprising:
- a setting step of setting as to whether or not said device itself is under control of a control apparatus on a network;
- and
- a control step of querying a control apparatus about a state of registration of said device itself when the setting of being under the control is done by a setting unit.
A storage medium readable by an apparatus, tangibly embodying a power source control program executable by the apparatus to perform method steps comprising:
- a communication step of notifying each of devices existing under control that said device is a control target device to be controlled as to power-on permissibility;
- a registration step of registering said device as said control target device to be controlled as to the power-on permissibility when accepting a response to the notification;
- a power source control step of controlling the power-on permissibility of said control target device on the basis of information registered on said registration unit;
- a group setting step of setting any one or more devices in any one or more control target device groups in a plurality of control target device groups;
- and
- a step of controlling the power-on permissibility for every control target device group with respect to said device set in each of said control target device groups.
A storage medium readable by a device, tangibly embodying a power source control program executable by the device, for making the device control a power source of the device having a body unit connected to a power source in a disconnectable manner to perform method steps comprising:
- a setting step of setting as to whether or not said device itself is under control of a control apparatus on a network;
- and
- a control step of querying a control apparatus about a state of registration of said device itself when the setting of being under the control is done by a setting unit.
