Claim 3:
4. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as:
a voice acquirer configured to acquire an audio signal from a mobile terminal;
a storage configured to
store, for a group of indoor units and outdoor units arranged into two or more refrigerant groups such that each of the two or more refrigerant groups includes a single outdoor unit selected from the group of indoor units and outdoor units and at least one of the indoor units selected from the group of indoor units and outdoor units, an air conditioner management table in which pieces of identification information on the plurality of indoor units and outdoor units are registered in association with each other, and
store an air conditioner specification table that identifies a plurality of people and correlates one of the plurality of indoor units with each of the respective plurality of people;

an air conditioner specifier configured to specify a plurality of air conditioners to be controlled based on the acquired audio signal;
a command generator configured to generate control commands for executing control of the plurality of air conditioners specified by the air conditioner specifier based on the acquired audio signal;
a command transmitter configured to transmit, to the plurality of air conditioners specified by the air conditioner specifier, the control commands generated by the command generator; and
an identifier that identifies a person who is a source of the acquired audio signal, identifies an indoor unit correlated with the identified person based on the stored air conditioner specification table, and identifies an outdoor unit belonging to an identical refrigerant group to the identified indoor unit based on the air conditioner management table,
wherein the plurality of air conditioners to be controlled are selected from the group of indoor units and outdoor units arranged into the two or more refrigerant groups such that each of the two or more refrigerant groups includes a single outdoor unit selected from the group of indoor units and outdoor units and at least one of the indoor units selected from the group of indoor units and outdoor units, and
wherein the air conditioner specifier identifies a person who is a source of the acquired audio signal and specifies an air conditioner correlated with the identified person as one of the plurality of air conditioners to be controlled based on the stored air conditioner specification table,
wherein the two or more refrigerant groups are identified by one or more keywords, respectively, such that each of the two or more refrigerant groups is uniquely identified by one of the one or more keywords,
wherein the air conditioner specifier specifies, as the plurality of air conditioners to be controlled, the one or more indoor units associated with a selected refrigerant group from the two or more refrigerant groups identified by a selected keyword contained in the acquired audio signal and the single outdoor unit belonging to the selected refrigerant group,
wherein the air conditioner specifier specifies the identified indoor unit and outdoor unit as one of the plurality of air conditioners to be controlled, and
wherein the air conditioner specification table identifies a plurality of people and uniquely correlates one of the plurality of indoor units with each of the respective plurality of people.
