==CONTROL METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18615052 titled 'CONTROL METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

'''Simplified Explanation:'''
The patent application describes a control method by an information processing apparatus that involves acquiring operation information on a group of operations performed on multiple devices in a facility, calculating the operation cost for these operations, generating suggestion information for collective control if the cost exceeds a certain value, and outputting this suggestion information.

* Key Features and Innovation:
    - Acquiring operation information on a group of operations performed on multiple devices.
    - Calculating the operation cost required for these operations.
    - Generating suggestion information for collective control if the cost is above a predetermined value.
    - Outputting the suggestion information to optimize operations in the facility.

* Potential Applications:
    - Industrial automation processes.
    - Facility management systems.
    - Energy efficiency optimization in buildings.

* Problems Solved:
    - Inefficient operation management.
    - High operation costs.
    - Lack of coordination among devices in a facility.

* Benefits:
    - Cost savings through optimized operations.
    - Improved efficiency in facility management.
    - Enhanced coordination among devices.

* Commercial Applications:
    - "Optimized Facility Management System for Cost-Efficient Operations and Energy Savings"

* Prior Art:
    - Researchers can explore existing patents related to facility management systems, automation processes, and energy efficiency optimization.

* Frequently Updated Research:
    - Stay updated on advancements in industrial automation, facility management technologies, and energy efficiency solutions.

'''Questions about Control Method for Operations in a Facility:'''

1. How does the control method optimize operation costs in a facility?
    - The control method optimizes operation costs by suggesting collective control of operations when the cost exceeds a predetermined value, leading to cost savings and efficiency improvements.

2. What are the potential long-term benefits of implementing this control method in a facility?
    - The long-term benefits include sustained cost savings, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced coordination among devices, resulting in overall better facility management.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A control method by an information processing apparatus includes: acquiring operation information on a group of operations continuously performed to a plurality of devices disposed in a facility; calculating an operation cost required to perform the group of operations indicated by the operation information; generating, in a case that the operation cost is larger than a predetermined value, suggestion information indicative of a suggestion for performing collective control of the group of operations indicated by the operation information to the devices; and outputting the suggestion information.
