Abstract

See full text

A first control apparatus receives a device control log of a second control apparatus, and stores a shared log that results from adding the received device control log of the second control apparatus to a device control log of the first control apparatus. Upon acquiring a control request from a user to control the device, the first control apparatus determines based on the shared log whether the device is ready for control. If the device is determined to be ready, the first control apparatus transmits to the device a control command responsive to the acquired control request.
