Abstract: The control system includes: a determiner that determines, based on browsing information on browsing using a browsing device, a target device and a browsing relation degree indicating relationship between a predetermined function of the target device and the browsing; a device information obtainer that obtains device information on a target control device that is the target device having the browsing relation degree of the browsing greater than or equal to a threshold; and a control unit that changes an operation mode for executing the predetermined function of the target control device when the device information obtained satisfies a specific condition.

Abstract: Present application discloses control method of controlling operation mode of washing machine by communication with washing machine. Control method includes obtaining vibration information indicative of vibration of washing tub of washing machine operating in predetermined first operation mode as operation mode; extracting predetermined feature amount having correlation with strength of floor on which washing machine is placed from vibration information; estimating strength of floor from extracted feature amount; determining whether or not operation mode needs to be changed from first operation mode based on estimated strength; and when determination is made that operation mode needs to be changed from first operation mode, outputting, to washing machine, instruction to change operation mode from first operation mode to second operation mode different from first operation mode.

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.
