    Abstract: A notification control device includes: a sound notification controller sending a first notification control signal for causing a first device to provide a first notification, obtaining first response information to the first notification, and determining whether the first response information is in response to notification information; an image notification controller sending a second notification control signal for causing a second device to provide a second notification, obtaining second response information to the second notification, and determining whether the second response information is in response to the notification information; and a canceller sending a cancellation process signal for cancelling (a) the second notification when the sound notification controller determines that the first response information is in response to the notification information and (b) the first notification when the image notification controller determines that the second response information is in response to the notification information.

    Abstract: An information processing method performed with a processor includes determining whether a second dispensing amount of detergent to be dispensed in a washing apparatus in a scheduled first washing event falls below a threshold based on a remaining amount of the detergent in a detergent container of the washing apparatus and a first dispensing amount set for one washing event for washing a washing target, changing a third dispensing amount determined based on the first dispensing amount to be dispensed into the washing apparatus in a second washing event preceding the first washing event to a fourth dispensing amount equaling or exceeding the threshold when the second dispensing amount is determined to fall below the threshold, outputting information representing the fourth dispensing amount, and causing the washing apparatus to dispense the fourth dispensing amount of the detergent in the second washing event.

    Abstract: An information processing method executed by a computer to control notification by a plurality of terminals (first terminal and second terminal) associated with an appliance includes: obtaining information defining, for each state of a plurality of possible states of the appliance, whether the state is a predetermined state that requires the notification by all of the first terminal and the second terminal; obtaining a state of the appliance; determining whether the state of the appliance obtained is the predetermined state; performing control to cause all of the first terminal and the second terminal to make the notification, when it is determined that the state of the appliance is the predetermined state; and performing control to cause a specific terminal out of the first terminal and the second terminal to make the notification, when it is determined that the state of the appliance is not the predetermined state.

    Abstract: In an information processing method, a computer acquires a sleep state of a person existing in space, acquires detection data output from a sensor that detects entry of an object into the space, performs a first determination to determine whether or not the sleep state changes to awakening within a predetermined time from a time point at which the object is estimated to enter the space based on the sleep state and the detection data, generates, in association with the sleep state before the time point, awakening information for determining possibility that the person is awakened by entry of the object in a case where the person is in the sleep state before the time point of entry based on a result of the first determination, and presents the awakening information associated with the sleep state via a presentation device.

    Abstract: An information notification method for use in an information notification system connected to an air conditioner including a refrigerant circuit and an information communication apparatus includes detecting a connection state indicating whether the air conditioner is connected to a network, determining whether the air conditioner performed a refrigerant recovery operation on the refrigerant circuit on the basis of the operation log information that indicates an operation log of the air conditioner and that is received from the air conditioner, determining whether the air conditioner has been relocated on the basis of the detected connection state and the determination as to whether the air conditioner performed the refrigerant recovery operation, and sending, to the information communication apparatus, first information used to prompt for a test operation of the air conditioner if it is determined that the air conditioner has been relocated.

    Abstract: An air conditioning apparatus includes: an absolute humidity set value calculation section that acquires a first absolute humidity determined from a first temperature and a first relative humidity, the first temperature and the first relative humidity being previously set; a dew-point temperature calculation section that acquires a dew-point temperature determined from the first temperature and the first relative humidity; an absolute humidity calculation section that acquires a second absolute humidity determined from a second temperature indicating a temperature inside the room and a second relative humidity indicating a relative humidity inside the room; and a heat exchanger temperature comparison and determination section and an indoor unit fan/blow-off port control section that control a dehumidification operation that stops air-blowing of an indoor unit fan, closes an blow-off port, and cools an indoor heat exchanger at the dew-point temperature when the second absolute humidity is higher than the first absolute humidity.

    Abstract: A diagnosis method includes giving an instruction to present at least two sound collection positions of an abnormal sound of an electric apparatus to an outside; comparing a current position of the diagnosis device and one sound collection position of the at least two sound collection positions; obtaining sound data indicative of an abnormal sound of the electric apparatus collected by a microphone, based on a comparison result and storing the sound data in a sound data storage portion so as be correlated with log data and the one sound collection position; and diagnosing an abnormal sound of the electric apparatus by using at least two items of sound data and at least two sound collection positions, based on a determination result whether sound collection is completed and a determination result whether diagnosis of an abnormal sound is possible.
