Provided is a system which can avoid instability of an operating state of a working machine, when switching a remote operation actor of the working machine. In a case where a state of one or both of a working machine 40 or a first operator is a specified state when the working machine 40 is remotely operated through a first remote operation apparatus 10, a first notification corresponding to the specified state is transmitted to a remote operation server 30. In the remote operation server 30, a second remote operation apparatus 20 which is appropriate in view of content of the first notification is selected as the remote operation actor of the working machine 40.

A content access device and system may allow portable remote devices to be paired with a variety of different devices, allowing remote control through a network connection. Content access devices may expose application program interfaces, allowing incoming network traffic to control operation of the device much in the same way that a local infrared remote would. Routing content commands through an external application server may also yield other benefits, such as allowing more customized selection of information and advertising content to users based on their viewing history.

A device management system includes a device installed in a building, a control terminal connected to the device, and a management apparatus connected to the control terminal via a network. Both the control terminal and the management apparatus are configured to be capable of acquiring a control command that is created by a user. The control command that is created by the user is acquired by at least one of the control terminal and the management apparatus. Based on the control command that is acquired, control of the device is shared and executed in at least one of the control terminal and the management apparatus.

A device includes a transceiver, a receiver, and a processor. The transceiver is configured to receive feedback data from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and transmit control data to the UAV via a first communication link. The receiver is configured to receive the control data from a controlling terminal via a second communication link. The second communication link does not interfere with the first communication link. The processor is configured to determine whether the feedback data and the control data are being simultaneously transmitted via the first communication link.

An example terminal apparatus includes a communicator configured to communicate with at least one device through a hub device; a display configured to display an image; a user input receiver configured to receive a user's input; and at least one processor configured to control the display to display a dialog box where the hub device or the at least one device is set as a counterpart in response to execution of a messenger program, control the communicator to transmit a control signal including a command for controlling a predetermined device to the device targeted for control through the hub device so that the device targeted for control operates in response to the command corresponding to a user's input, and control the display to display a message corresponding to the transmitted command in the dialog box.

A system for providing remote driving by communication between a remote driving vehicle and a remote driving apparatus. The system executes selecting a communication line from a plurality of communication lines, transmitting time series data through the selected communication line between the remote driving vehicle and the remote driving apparatus, acquiring a communication environment information of the selected communication line, and switching the selected communication line based on the communication environment information. Wherein, the transmitting the time series data includes performing a transmission hold process when the selected communication line is switched, the transmission hold process being a process holding off start of transmitting the time series data through the selected communication line after switching until a delay time of the selected communication line before switching has elapsed from a time point of switching.

A control device controls a moving body being a target of a remote operation performed by a remote operator and having an autonomous driving function. The control device communicates with a remote operator terminal to receive remote operation information including a first operation amount caused by the remote operator. The control device performs an abnormality determination process that determines whether an abnormality occurs in the communication with the remote operator terminal and whether an abnormality occurs in the remote operator terminal. The control device determines an operation amount based on at least one of the first operation amount caused by the remote operator and a second operation amount determined by the autonomous driving function according to results of the abnormality determination process. The control device controls the moving body in accordance with the determined operation amount.

A hand-held electronic device having a remote control application user interface that functions to displays operational mode information to a user. The graphical user interface may be used, for example, to setup the remote control application to control appliances for one or more users in one or more rooms, to perform activities, and to access favorites. The remote control application is also adapted to be upgradeable. Furthermore, the remote control application provides for the sharing of operational mode information.

Embodiments are directed to controlling an electronically-controlled appliance using a software application and providing a user interface for controlling an electronically-controlled appliance. In one scenario, a computer system receives an indication from a remote computing system indicating that an electronically-controlled appliance is communicably connected to the remote computing system. The computer system provides a notification in the software application indicating that the electronically-controlled appliance is available to receive instructions, and receives a user input at the software application indicating that certain functions are to be performed by the electronically-controlled appliance. The computer system further generates instructions configured to control the electronically-controlled appliance based on the functions specified in the received user input, and sends the generated instructions to the electronically-controlled appliance to perform the specified functions. These functions are then interpreted and carried out on the electronically-controlled appliance via the hardware controller.

An operating system includes an air conditioner and an infrared output device. The air conditioner includes an indoor unit. The infrared output device is configured to receive first information on an instruction to a first-type apparatus other than the air conditioner and operable by an infrared signal and transmit an infrared signal corresponding to the first information to the first-type apparatus. The air conditioner further includes a management device configured to manage the first-type apparatus. The management device includes a command information receiving unit configured to receive second information on a command content, and a determination unit configured to determine whether there is a deviation between a behavior of the first-type apparatus and the command content, based on the behavior of the first-type apparatus and the second information.
