CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION DEVICE

摘要

An information device has a display and is connected to a distribution board system including multiple branch circuits including a first branch circuit to which devices are correlated, and manages electric power consumption by branch circuits. A control method thereof includes: acquiring state information indicating electric power consumption of each branch circuit; displaying multiple display objects corresponding to multiple devices correlated with the first branch circuit, overlapped, and displaying an electric power display indicating electric power consumption of the first branch circuit over the overlapped multiple display objects; if the overlapped multiple display objects are tapped on, displaying these separated, and displaying device displays representing each device at each separated multiple display object; and if any one of the separated multiple display objects on the display is tapped on, displaying the separated display objects overlapped, and erasing the device displays representing the devices from the overlapped multiple display objects.

1. A control method of an information device that has a touch-panel display and is connected via a network to a distribution board system including a plurality of branch circuits including a first branch circuit with which two or more devices of interest are associated, and manages electric power consumption in increments of branch circuits, the control method comprising:
acquiring state information, indicating electric power consumption in increments of branch circuits, from the distribution board system via the network; displaying, on the display, two or more display objects corresponding to each of two or the more devices of interest associated with the first branch circuit, in at least a partially overlapped state, and also displaying an electric power display indicating electric power consumption corresponding to the first branch circuit, in a manner overlapping on the overlapped two or more display objects; when a tapping operation on the overlapped two or more display objects is detected at the overlapped two or more display objects, the overlapped two or more display objects are displayed in a separated manner, and a device display representing each of the two or more devices of interest associated with the first branch circuit, is displayed at each of the separated two or more display objects; and when a tapping operation on any one of the separated two or more display objects on the display is detected, the separated two or more display objects are displayed in an overlapped manner, and the device display representing each of the two or more devices of interest associated with the first branch circuit is erased from each of the overlapped two or more display objects.
