<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To apply uniform control conditions that maximize the availability of operation mode control to all terminals connected to a network, and to perform thorough management and planned management. <P>SOLUTION: Each of the terminals 20, 21, 22 ... changes an operation mode when receiving an operation mode change signal, the operation information of each terminal is collected and transmitted, and an external terminal 30 makes the performance of each terminal and the control condition capable of being inputted and transmits them to a server 100. The server refers to a use result DB 50 that accumulates the operation information transmitted from each terminal, calculates the predicted operation probability of each terminal by using a relation between the use result of an object terminal and a time and the use result of the other terminal, refers to an apparatus information DB 60 that accumulates the performance of each terminal as apparatus information, calculates a power-save effect anticipated value and a convenience damage anticipated value by using the predicted operation probability and the apparatus information, changes a weighting coefficient between the power-save anticipated value and the convenience damage anticipated value on the basis of the control condition, and selects an optimal operation mode. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
