Classification: CPC F  G | IPC F  G

Claim 7:
8. A facility apparatus control method comprising:
a first image capturing step of capturing an image of a first space by a facility apparatus control device;
a data-for-learning generating step of, by the facility apparatus control device,
generating location information on a person present in the first space by analyzing a first image and
extracting, from the first image, an image of a determined range covering the person present in the first space, the first image being an image captured at the first image capturing step;

a learning step of, by the facility apparatus control device, learning, with use of the location information generated at the data-for-learning generating step and a first extracted image,
a feature of the person present in the first space and
a staying location occupied by the person present in the first space, the first extracted image being an image extracted at the data-for-learning generating step;

a second image capturing step of capturing an image of a second space by the facility apparatus control device, the second space not entirely encompassing and not entirely being encompassed by the first space;
a person detecting step of, by the facility apparatus control device,
detecting a person present in the second space by analyzing a second image and
extracting, from the second image, an image of a determined range including the detected person, the second image being an image captured at the second image capturing step; and

an apparatus controlling step of, by the facility apparatus control device, controlling a facility apparatus installed in the first space with use of a second extracted image and a learned result obtained at the learning step, the second extracted image being an image extracted at the person detecting step, wherein
the learned result obtained in the learning step and used in the apparatus controlling step includes the feature of the person present in the first space and the staying location occupied by the person present in the first space.
