Claim:
A control system comprising: an input unit through which a signal for a gesture and a background of the gesture is input; a gesture recognition unit which recognizes the gesture on the basis of the input signal; an attribute recognition unit which recognizes an attribute of a background target of the recognized gesture on the basis of the input signal; and a command transmitting unit which generates a control command on the basis of a combination of the recognized gesture and the background target attribute and transmits the control command to a device; a storing unit which stores setting information indicating that a certain control is to be performed in the case that a certain gesture and a certain background target attribute are recognized; and an output control unit which outputs, in the case that a usage time of a specific room or a device which is provided in the room is designated, a usage restricted object which is an object for the usage time and a background target for controlling the device in the specific room, from an output device; wherein the input unit includes a gesture sensor which detects the gesture and a camera which photographs a background of the gesture; the input signal in the gesture recognition unit is a signal indicating the detected gesture; the input signal in the attribute recognition unit is a background image, which is photographed by the camera, of a gesture on an output device to which the usage restricted object and the background target are output; the attribute recognition unit analyzes the background image and recognizes the usage restricted object on the output device and the background target attribute of the gesture; and the command transmitting unit transmits the control command to the device which is provided in the specific room only in the case that the usage time indicated by the recognized usage restricted object is specified and current date and time belongs to the usage time, and the control command is a command for performing, for the device, a control specified from the setting information on the basis of the combination of the recognized gesture and the background target attribute.
