Next, an example in which the information processing device 200 provides various information to the terminal device 20 will be described.

In the example of FIG. 1, it is assumed that one business company has multiple studios. In this case, it is assumed that the relay device 100 is installed in each studio. In the example of FIG. 1, the relay device 101 is set in the studio 1. Further, a relay device 102 is installed in the studio 2.

On the other hand, when describing the relay devices 101 and 102 without any particular distinction, they may be referred to as the relay device 100.

First, an example in which the information processing device 200 manages various information will be described. In the example of FIG. 1, the relay device 101 acquires various information from the light control panel LC1, baton BL1, or DMX node DN1 set in the studio 1 (step S1).

Subsequently, the information processing device 200 provides the requested information to the terminal device 20 (step S8). For example, the information processing device 200 provides the terminal device 20 with information regarding the power-on time in the studio 1. Thereby, the information processing device 200 can provide various information in the studio to users located remotely.

In the past, there have been cases in which it has not been possible to uniformly manage information at multiple installation locations managed by a single operating company. Therefore, the information processing device 200 receives information regarding a control device that controls a controlled object and control information acquired from the controlled object. Subsequently, the information processing device 200 identifies information regarding the installation location where the predetermined device that has acquired the information regarding the control information from the control device and the controlled object is installed. Then, the information processing device 200 manages, for each installation location, information in which identification information for identifying the installation location indicated by the information regarding the specified installation location is associated with information regarding the control information.
