Apparatus control system, mobile terminal and program

A portable mobile terminal, capable of communicating with a control device that controls operation of a plurality of apparatuses by communication in accordance with an external control request, the plurality of apparatus being located in a predetermined area, the control device being installed in a place different from the predetermined area, the portable mobile terminal comprising:

• a terminal-side storage unit configured to store a terminal-side schedule in which control contents are associated with control dates and times for each of the plurality of apparatuses;
• a date and time setting unit configured to set an arbitrary date and time as an arbitrily set date and time;
• a simulation unit configured to simulate operating states of the plurality of apparatuses, the simulated operating states being states in which the plurality of apparatuses operate at the arbitrarily set date and time, using the terminal-side schedule;
• a display unit configured to display the operating state at the arbitrarily set date and time simulation by the simulation unit;
• and
• an apparatus state reflection unit configured to generate the control request in relation to the simulated operating states, and to output the control request to the control device to cause the control device to control the plurality of apparatuses to operate in the simulated operating states rather than in their operation states according to the control schedule.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program to be executed by a portable computer capable of communicating with a control device that controls operation of a plurality of apparatuses by communication in accordance with an external control request, the plurality of

• apparatus being located in a predetermined area, the control device being installed in a place different from the predetermined area, the program when executed by the portable compute, to perform:
• storing a terminal-side schedule in which control contents are associated with control dates and times for each of the plurality of apparatuses;
• setting an arbitrary date and time as an arbitrarily set date and time;
• simulating operating states of the plurality of apparatuses, the simulated operating states being states in which the plurality of apparatuses operate at the arbitrarily set date and time, using the terminal-side schedule;
• displaying the operating states at the arbitrarily set date and time simulated;
• generating the control request in relation to the simulated operating states;
• and
• outputting the control request to the control device to cause the control device to control the plurality of apparatuses to operate in the simulated operating states rather than in their operation states according to the control schedule.
