    Abstract: A notification control device includes: a sound notification controller that sends a first notification control signal for causing a first device to provide a first notification, obtains first response information to the first notification, and determines whether the first response information is in response to notification information; an image notification controller that sends a second notification control signal for causing a second device to provide a second notification, when the first response information is determined not to be in response to the notification information, obtains second response information to the second notification, and determines whether the second response information is in response to the notification information; and a canceller that sends, to the first and second devices, a cancellation process signal for cancelling the notifications, when the first response information or the second response information is determined to be in response to the notification information.

    Abstract: A washing machine includes: a drum that rotates with a washing or drying object contained in the drum; a motor that rotationally drives the drum; a controller that controls rotation of the motor; and an electric current measurer that measures an electric current value representing an electric current flowing in the motor. The controller controls the rotation of the motor to rotate the drum less than one turn, and in accordance with the measured electric current value, detects whether a foreign object that is different from the object and whose mass is greater than an expected mass of the object is inside the drum. In a case where the controller detects the foreign object, the controller stops operation of the washing machine.

    Abstract: A device control apparatus which controls a second device connected in place of a first device acquires first performance information indicative of performance of the first device and second performance information indicative of performance of the second device, generates a correction function based on a difference between the first performance information and the second performance information, generates, from first operation mode information for causing the first device to operate by first setting, the first operation mode information being generated based on log information of the first device, second operation mode information for causing the second device to operate by second setting corresponding to the first setting based on the correction function, and transmits the second operation mode information to the second device.
