Control method for information apparatus and computer-readable recording medium that control humidifiers connected to network

摘要

A control method according to the present disclosure causes a computer of an information apparatus to: display on a display a display screen representing a floor plan of a building; display on the display screen device icons respectively representing one or more target devices, the device icons being movable when dragged and including a humidifier icon that represents a humidifier; and when it is sensed that the humidifier icon is selected, and is moved on the floor plan, display an effect range in which an effect of the humidifier extends, in a region corresponding to a room in the floor plan where a drop of the humidifier icon is sensed.

主权项

1. A method for controlling an information apparatus having a touch panel display and being connected to a network, and at least one target device being controlled over the network,
the method causing a computer of the information apparatus to: display, on the touch panel display, a display screen representing a floor plan of a building, the floor plan including at least one room; display, on the touch panel display screen, at least one movable device icon representing the at least one target device, the at least one device icon including a humidifier icon that represents a humidifier; sense that the humidifier icon is selected and is dropped within a room of the at least one room on the floor plan by a user; and in response to the humidifier icon being selected and dropped within the room on the floor plan: display the humidifier icon and an effective range, in which an effect of the humidifier extends, within the room where the drop of the humidifier icon is sensed, wherein the effective range is not displayed within the room until it is sensed that the humidifier icon is dropped within the room, and the effective range is displayed as a defined area having a predetermined shape encompassing the humidifier icon within the room on the floor plan; and in response to sensing, on the touch panel display, a contact of a prescribed object in the defined area and a movement of the contact in a direction towards an outer edge of the defined area, adjust the size of the defined area, and output a control command for increasing an amount of the humidified air output from the humidifier, to the network based on the sensed movement of the contact.
