Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An arbitration device comprises a determining unit that determines priority of each of a plurality of electrical devices according to at least either a position or an action status of a person present in a target area for control; and a calculating unit that calculates electrical power to be allotted to each of the electrical devices in such a way that a total of electrical power allotted to a plurality of the electrical devices is within a limit value and the electrical devices having the priority at high levels are allotted with electrical power on a priority basis.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An arbitration device comprising: circuitry configured to determine priority of each of a plurality of electrical devices according to a parameter including at least an action status of a person present in a target area for control, the target area having at least one person when the circuitry determines the priority, the action status of a person being determined by using at least one of an acceleration sensor, an angular velocity sensor, and a geomagnetic sensor, and calculate electrical power to be allotted to each of the electrical devices in such a way that a total of electrical power allotted to the electrical devices is within a limit value and the electrical devices having the priority at high levels are allotted with electrical power on a priority basis. 2. The arbitration device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry calculates electrical power to be allotted to each of the electrical devices in such a way that a total of electrical power allotted to the electrical devices is equal to a maximum value not exceeding a limit value and the electrical devices having the priority at high levels are allotted with electrical power on a priority basis. 3. The arbitration device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry determines, for each type of the electrical devices, the priority according to a parameter including at least an action status of a person. 4. The arbitration device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry determines, for each operation mode of the electrical devices, the priority according to a parameter including at least an action status of a person. 5. The arbitration device according to claim 1 , wherein when a request is issued for allotting electrical power to at least one of the electrical devices, the circuitry determines the priority according to a parameter including at least an action status of a person. 6. The arbitration device according to claim 1 , wherein when there is a change in at least an action status of a person, the circuitry determines the priority according to at least a post-change action status of the person.
