Abstract

An infrared output device is installed in a fixed apparatus whose position is fixed in a predetermined space. An input receiving device is configured to receive, through voice input, a control command to a first-type apparatus controllable by infrared ray. Upon the input receiving device receiving the control command, the infrared output device is configured to output infrared ray to the first-type apparatus.

Claims (14)

1. A control system comprising:

an input receiving device, which is configured to receive, through voice input, a control command to a first-type apparatus controllable by infrared ray;

an infrared output device, the infrared output device being installed in a fixed apparatus whose position is fixed in a predetermined space and configured to output infrared ray to the first-type apparatus, upon the input receiving device having received the control command; and

an information processing device configured to communicate with the input receiving device and the infrared output device via the network, the information processing device including

a voice analyzing unit configured to analyze voice input;

a control identifying unit configured to identify a control content that indicates a controlled apparatus and a control command to the controlled apparatus from a result analyzed by the voice analyzing unit; and

an output instruction transmission unit configured to transmit, to the infrared output device, an output instruction to output infrared ray based on the control content identified by the control identifying unit.

2. The infrared output device according to claim 1 , wherein the fixed apparatus is fixedly mounted on a ceiling or wall of a room.

3. The infrared output device according to claim 1 , wherein the fixed apparatus is an air-conditioning device.

4. The infrared output device according to claim 1 , wherein

the infrared output device is mounted on an upper-half region of a body of the fixed apparatus.

5. The infrared output device according to claim 1 , wherein

an attitude control device to control an attitude of the infrared output device is installed in the infrared output device.

6. The control system according to claim 1 , wherein the input receiving device is disposed inside the fixed apparatus.
