  • Patent number: 11168882
    Abstract: A behavior inducement system includes: a communication unit which obtains information from a household device, an information communication device, and a behavior detector which detects a behavior; and a control unit which controls a lighting device having a music playback function based on the information obtained by the communication unit. The communication unit obtains, from the information communication device, inducement information indicating condition related to inducement, obtains, from the household device, household device information indicating a state of the household device, and obtains, from the behavior detector, behavior information indicating the behavior. The control unit causes the lighting device to start playback of music via the communication unit when the state satisfies the condition, and, based on the behavior information, the control unit adjusts, after the start of the playback of the music, time required for the lighting device to complete the playback of the music.
