Abstract: The obtainment unit obtains information indicative of a content of manual-operation performed by a user regarding control of an intended apparatus from a group of loads, and stores it as manual-operation information including an obtaining time. The identification unit identifies a type of control of the manual-operation information. The determination unit counts the number of times of obtaining the manual-operation information within a counting period equal to two days or more, for each type and for each time period, and determines whether the number of times of obtaining the same type of manual-operation information within the same time period is equal to a predetermined threshold or more. When the number of times of obtaining the same type of manual-operation information within the same time period is determined to be equal to the predetermined threshold or more, the schedule change unit changes a control schedule based on this manual-operation information.

Abstract: Apparatus administration system includes control device that controls operation of apparatuses and display device communicable with the control device. In the control device, control unit controls each apparatus in accordance with operation schedule stored in schedule storage unit. Operation history storage unit stores operation history in which past operation states are associated with operated dates and times. In the display device, information acquisition unit acquires the operation schedule and the operation history from the control device. Date and time setting unit specifies past date and time to set as set date and time. Estimation unit estimates operation state at the set date and time through the operation schedule. Extraction unit extracts actual operation state at the set date and time from the operation history. Display unit displays the operation state under schedule control and the actual operation state adjacently.
