Abstract: A method executed by a computer, including: executing multiple times a first process of outputting question information to a user and acquiring response information from the user; executing a second process at least once while executing the first process multiple times; executing a third process of estimating a vehicle use and customer value for the user and specifying one or more tire products to recommend to the user based on two or more pieces of the response information acquired; and outputting information indicating the vehicle use and the customer value estimated and information regarding the one or more tire products specified. The second process includes determining a comprehension level of the user regarding a tire product, based on one or more pieces of the response information acquired, and determining question information to be output next time and thereafter, according to the comprehension level determined.

Abstract: Light control communication system includes first conversion unit, controller-side communication unit, device-side communication unit, and second conversion unit. First conversion unit converts an input signal in conformity with a first protocol used for controlling lighting device into a communication signal in conformity with a second protocol. Controller-side communication unit transmits the communication signal to device-side communication unit. Second conversion unit converts the communication signal into a control signal in conformity with the first protocol output to lighting device. First conversion unit extracts only data of a predetermined channel from channels of the input signal and converts the extracted data into the communication signal. Second conversion unit interpolates predetermined data in the communication signal to convert into the control signal.

Abstract: A wireless communication device includes: a wired communication circuit which receives, through a wired connection, an operation signal for controlling each of luminaires from a management device which controls an operation of each of the luminaires; a radio communication circuit which converts the operation signal received by the wired communication circuit and transmits the converted operation signal to each of the luminaires over a radio wave; an infrared ray receiver which receives an infrared ray signal transmitted from outside; and a controller. When the wired communication circuit receives a signal having a predetermined pattern from the management device, the controller transitions to a state for receiving the infrared ray signal, and, based on the infrared ray signal transmitted from outside, transmits a signal relating to communication setting between the radio communication circuit and each of the luminaires to each of the plurality of luminaires via the radio communication circuit.
