It is as shown on the right side of the flow chart.

With the start of the flow, learning information of each terminal device is collected as in step S1. This collection is
The idle time that does not interfere with the normal processing of the control device can be used to sequentially perform the processing in the order of the code numbers unique to the terminal device or in a predetermined order.

Next, it is determined whether or not the learning information collection of all the terminal devices is completed as in step S2. If not completed, it is determined whether or not there is newly learned information in each terminal, as in step S3.

If there is information newly learned by the terminal, information newly learned by the terminal is collected as in step S4. After that, the operations after step S1 are repeated until the information collection from all terminals is completed.

Even when new learning information does not exist in the terminal in step S3, the operations in and after step S1 are repeated until the information collection from all terminals is completed. The learning information accumulation control unit 11 performs the operations in steps S1 to S4.

If it is determined in step S2 that learning information has been collected for all terminal devices, the new learning information collected is distributed in step S5.

Then, it is determined whether or not the distribution of the necessary learning information is completed as in step S6. If there is still learning information to be distributed, step S5 and subsequent steps are repeated. The operations of these steps S5 to S6 are performed by the integrated information distribution control unit 12.

When it is determined in step S6 that the distribution of the necessary learning information has been completed, each element of the learning information reflection control units 13a, 13b, and 13c has the learning information distributed as in step S7. Among them, it is determined whether or not there is information that is not stored in the own terminal, that is, learning information in another terminal device.

If it is determined in step S7 that the new learning information does not exist, that is, if the learning information is the learning information in the own terminal device, the information is already stored in the terminal, and thus step S9 is directly performed. At, it is determined whether the processing of all terminals has been completed.

If it is determined in step S7 that there is learning information that does not exist in its own terminal, the distributed learning information is reflected in each terminal device in a predetermined procedure as in step S8, In S9, it is determined whether or not the processing of all terminals is completed.

If it is determined in step S9 that the processing of all terminals has not been completed, the processing in step S5 and subsequent steps is repeated until this determination is completed.
