Claim:
1. A control method for an information terminal device that has a display and controls an air conditioner over a network, the control method making the information terminal device perform processing comprising: displaying on the display a temperature setting screen in which a temperature of the air conditioner is settable for each of a plurality of time periods, the temperature setting screen including a first temperature setting segment used to set a temperature of the air conditioner in a first time period and a second temperature setting segment used to set a temperature of the air conditioner in a second time period, the first time period being a time period from a go-to-bed time of a user using the air conditioner until a first time that is a time between the go-to-bed time and a wake-up time of the user, the second time period being a time period from the first time until the wake-up time; calculating a first time period preset temperature of the air conditioner which changes in the first time period by using a first preset temperature that is a temperature of the air conditioner at the first time and that is set in the temperature setting screen and a second preset temperature that is a temperature of the air conditioner at the go-to-bed time and that is set in the temperature setting screen; calculating a second time period preset temperature of the air conditioner which changes in the second time period by using the first preset temperature and a third preset temperature that is a temperature of the air conditioner at the wake-up time and that is set in the temperature setting screen; displaying in the first temperature setting segment the calculated first time period preset temperature; displaying in the second temperature setting segment the calculated second time period preset temperature; and outputting to the network a first control command that corresponds to the first preset temperature and a second control command that corresponds to the second preset temperature in a case where the calculated first time period preset temperature is fixed as the first time period preset temperature and the calculated second time period preset temperature is fixed as the second time period preset temperature.
