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: 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.
