Device control based on timing information

Abstract:

A control device to provide control of electrical devices based on timing information. The control device stores device operational information which indicates an association between timing information and a plurality of operational modes for each of a set of electrical devices associated with a physical space. The control device detects a presence of a user within the physical space. The user is associated with an electronic apparatus. The control device further compares other timing information captured at a time of the detection of the presence of the user with the timing information. The control device determines an operational mode from the plurality of operational modes for each of the set of electrical devices based on the comparison. The control device further controls each of the set of electrical devices based on the determined operational mode.
