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.

Abstract: A control system includes: an input receiver that receives an input of a user; a second communicator that communicates with devices; and a controller that causes the input receiver to be in a preparation state in response to the communicator obtaining predetermined information from one device among the devices. The preparation state is a state in which the input receiver is able to receive an execution input for executing scene control related to a life scene for at least part of the devices.

Abstract: A control system includes: an input receiver that receives an execution instruction to execute scene control that is associated with a life scene and includes control of a first device and control of a second device; and a controller that executes the control of the first device and the control of the second device at different timings when the execution instruction is received.

Abstract: A voice control information output system includes: a voice control information obtainment unit that obtains voice control information for controlling a device based on a voice received by a voice input terminal, from a voice control system that outputs the voice control information; and an output unit that outputs display-related information for displaying a content related to the voice control information.

Abstract: A control system includes: a first communication unit configured to obtain speech control information from a speech control system that outputs the speech control information for controlling a device based on a speech obtained by a speech input terminal; and a second communication unit configured to obtain related information relevant to the speech input terminal from the speech control system.

Abstract: A control system includes: a first communication unit configured to communicate with a speech control system that outputs speech control information for controlling a device based on a speech obtained by a speech input terminal; a second communication unit configured to obtain human information about presence or absence of a person within a predetermined area from which the speech input terminal obtains the speech; and an output unit configured to output, based on the human information obtained, control information for controlling a target device to be controlled.

Abstract: To allow the user to easily designate any of data streams of the same type, included in the same content and supposed to be played back selectively, when the content starts to be played back and/or while the content is being played back. A data processor includes: a receiving section for receiving a multiplexed stream representing a content; a recording control section for analyzing the multiplexed stream and writing it on a storage medium and outputting an instruction to write the processed stream on the medium; and a management information generating section for generating management information, needed to play back the content, based on a result of the analysis on the multiplexed stream. The multiplexed stream includes data streams of the same type to be selectively played back. The management information generating section adds, as the management information, selection information that indicates on which of the data streams the content needs to be played back.

Abstract: To record the beginning and end of each of multiple programs for scheduled recording without missing any part of them and without increasing the size of a processor. A program recorder includes a control section for outputting an instruction to start or finish recording based on scheduling information and a recording processing section for starting or finishing recording a program in accordance with an instruction to start or finish. If the scheduling information is set for multiple programs, the control section specifies, by reference to time information, a number of consecutive programs according to schedule among the multiple programs scheduled to be recorded, outputs the instruction to start at the broadcast start time of the first one of the programs, outputs the instruction to finish at the broadcast end time of the last one, and generates management information to play back those programs.

Abstract: A broadcast data transmission/reception system (100) includes: a transmitter (700) for transmitting broadcast data including time information indicating a reproduction start time; and a receiver (800) for receiving the broadcast data. The transmitter (700) transmits, at least a predetermined amount of time prior to transmitting the broadcast data, substitutive broadcast data including a same content as the broadcast data and time information indicating the reproduction start time, and a substitutive identifier one or more times. The receiver (800) tries to obtain the substitutive broadcast data based on the substitutive identifier specified by an identifier specifier. The receiver (800) reproduces, at the reproduction start time, one of the broadcast data and the substitutive broadcast data if successfully obtained.
