Abstract: A communication system includes a control terminal device and one or more communication devices. The control terminal device transmits a search message to entire network when the communication device is registered into the communication system. When the communication device is connected to the network, the communication device determines whether a connection position of the connected communication device on the network is the predetermined connection position. When the communication device is not positioned at the predetermined connection position, the communication device cancels the connection with the network and then connects to the predetermined connection position of the network and responds to the search message through the network after the communication device directly connects to the control terminal device and obtains information for connecting to the predetermined connection position of the network.

Abstract: In a case where a sound of one channel of an audio signal which is reproduced and emitted by a second audio device is emitted from a first audio device, an audio device receives a signal of other channel of the audio signal from the second audio device and causes a sound emission unit to emit a sound of the other channel.

Abstract: An instruction device includes: a detection unit that detects a space in which the instruction device exists; a storage unit that stores association information including information indicating that the space and a target device are associated with each other; a specifying unit that specifies the target device associated with the detected space by referring to the association information; and an output unit that outputs an instruction signal corresponding to the specified target device in accordance with an operation by an operator.

Abstract: A content reproducer according to the present disclosure includes a sound collector configured to collect a speech, and a controller configured to obtain speech input direction information about the speech and determine a content output direction based on the speech input direction information. Alternatively, a content reproducer according to the present disclosure includes a communicator configured to obtain speech input direction information, and a controller configured to determine a content output direction based on the speech input direction information.

Abstract: An audio system includes a first audio device and a second audio device. The first audio device receives an operation of increasing or reducing a parameter value, controls a first parameter using control amount according to operation amount, calculates a ratio of change in the control amount relative to a whole parameter adjustment range, and transmits the ratio of change to the second audio device. The second audio device receives the ratio of change, converts the ratio of change into a control amount of whole parameter adjustment range, controls a second parameter using a value of an integer part of the control amount, integrates the value of the fractional part of the control amount in a storage unit, and controls the second parameter using the value of the integer part when integer part is generated in the integrated value of the storage unit.

Abstract: Provided is a device control system including a server communicates with a first device and a second device. The server is configured to: acquire an operation instruction; transmit a command generated based on the operation instruction to the first device; and control, based on an operation state of the first device, the first device so that the first device communicates with a transmitter of the command in one of a first mode and a second mode. The first device in the first mode performs communication without intervention of the second device. The first device in the second mode performs communication via the second device.

Abstract: A control device includes a communication device configured to receive, from a control target device connected to the control device through a network, configuration information on a configuration of software and/or hardware of the control target device, a controller configured to acquire a display article from a server device connected to the control device through the network, and determine whether to store the display article in a storage as display data, based on the configuration information, and the storage configured to store the display data based on the determination by the controller.

Abstract: Provided is a device control system including: a device, which has a device ID for identifying the device, and is configured to write a user ID for identifying a user in a memory based on an instruction to register the user ID; and a server configured to transmit a message containing the user ID and a command to the device having the device ID.
