Abstract

A control system includes: an input receiver that receives an input from a user; and a controller that, if a security system is set in a notification mode, brings the input receiver into a cancellation preparation state in response to a sensor being changed to a predetermined state. The notification mode is a mode in which a notification is provided after a predetermined time period has elapsed since the sensor has changed to the predetermined state. The cancellation preparation state is a state in which a cancellation input for cancelling a setting of the notification mode is receivable. The controller cancels the setting of the notification mode when the cancellation input is received by the input receiver in the cancellation preparation state.

Claims (18)

1. A control system comprising:

an input receiver that receives an input from a user; and

a controller that, if a security system is set in a notification mode, brings the input receiver into a cancellation preparation state in response to a sensor being changed to a predetermined state, the notification mode being a mode in which a notification is provided after a predetermined time period has elapsed since the sensor has changed to the predetermined state, the cancellation preparation state being a state in which a cancellation input for cancelling a setting of the notification mode is receivable, wherein

the controller cancels the setting of the notification mode when the cancellation input is received by the input receiver in the cancellation preparation state,

the sensor is an electric lock, and

the predetermined state is an unlocked state.

2. The control system according to claim 1 , wherein

the input receiver includes a panel including a display function, and a touch input function that receives a manual input from the user as the cancellation input, and

the controller causes the panel to display an authentication information input screen for cancelling the setting of the notification mode to bring the input receiver into the cancellation preparation state.

3. The control system according to claim 1 , wherein

the input receiver includes a microphone that receives a voice input from the user as the cancellation input, and

the controller activates the microphone to bring the input receiver into the cancellation preparation state.

4. A control method to be executed by a computer, the control method comprising:

if a security system is set in a notification mode, bringing an input receiver that receives an input from a user into a cancellation preparation state in response to a sensor being changed to a predetermined state, the notification mode being a mode in which a notification is provided after a predetermined time period has elapsed since the sensor has changed to the predetermined state, the cancellation preparation state being a state in which a cancellation input for cancelling a setting of the notification mode is receivable; and

cancelling the setting of the notification mode when the cancellation input is received by the input receiver in the cancellation preparation state,

wherein the sensor is an electric lock, and

the predetermined state is an unlocked state.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for use in a computer, the recording medium having a computer program recorded thereon for causing the computer to execute the control method according to claim 4 .
