<p>Provided are an apparatus control device and an apparatus control method that make it possible to improve convenience for the user. An apparatus control device (10) includes: a time-shift time computation unit (14) that computes a time-shift time indicating an operation start time or an operation end time at which an electricity cost billed when an electric apparatus (20) is operated is equal to or less than a predetermined rate, a recomputation determination unit (17) that determines whether or not to change the time-shift time computed by the time-shift time computation unit (14), and a notification unit (18) that, when determination is made by the recomputation determination unit (17) that the time-shift time is to be changed, notifies the user that the initially computed time-shift time is to be changed.</p> |
