20130080356 | APPARATUS AND A METHOD FOR OPERATING A SERVICE, AND A NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM THEREOF - According to one embodiment, an environment provider storage stores a plurality of account methods corresponding to environment providers providing service execution environments. Each account method is a method for calculating a usage fee for each service execution environment. A resource consumption storage stores a plurality of resource consumptions corresponding to run modes. Each run mode is an operation pattern for each service execution environment to execute the service. Each resource consumption is a consumption of resources of the service execution environment while executing the service in each run mode. A calculation unit calculates usage fees based on combinations of one of the account methods corresponding to the environment providers and one of the resource consumptions corresponding to the run modes. An integrated operation unit selects at least one combination of a selected environment provider and a selected run mode, based on the usage fees calculated by the calculation unit. | 03-28-2013 |
20130085582 | APPARATUS AND A METHOD FOR CONTROLLING FACILITY DEVICES, AND A NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM THEREOF - According to one embodiment, a service execution apparatus controls facility devices in a group. The group includes a plurality of calculation areas. At least one facility device is installed in each calculation area. The service execution apparatus includes a calculation unit and a control unit. The calculation unit is configured to calculate a control value to control a selected facility device installed in one of calculation areas in the group, using weather information relating to the one of calculation areas. The control unit is configured to control other facility devices installed in the calculation areas of the group, based on the control value for the selected facility device. | 04-04-2013 |
20130173066 | SMOOTHING DEVICE, SMOOTHING SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - According to an embodiment, a smoothing device includes an acquiring unit, a determining unit, and selecting unit. The acquiring unit acquires weather information of a plurality of operation areas. A facility device that performs environmental control according to a control value resulting from operation based on the weather information is installed in each of the operation areas. The determining unit determines whether or not an amount of change in weather exceeds a predetermined first threshold in each of the operation areas. The selecting unit selects at least one first operation area that is an operation area in which the amount of change exceeds the first threshold as a halt area for which the operation of the control value used by the facility device installed in the first operation area is halted when the number of first operation areas exceeds a predetermined second threshold. | 07-04-2013 |
20130173067 | SMOOTHING DEVICE, SMOOTHING SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - According to an embodiment, a smoothing device includes a predicting unit, a calculating unit, and a control unit. The predicting unit predicts a calculation load of operation at a first time slot on the basis of weather prediction information of operation areas in which facility devices that perform environmental control according to control values resulting from the operation based on weather information are installed. The calculating unit calculates a calculation load of operation at a second time slot earlier than the first time slot on the basis of the weather information of the operation areas. The control unit controls an executing device that executes the operation so that part of the operation to be executed at the first time slot is executed at the second time slot. | 07-04-2013 |
