Abstract

An accepting unit 430 accepts a target temperature curve. A processing unit 432 converts the accepted target temperature curve into a block sequence. At this time, the processing unit 432: creates the block sequence while changing at least one of an arrangement of blocks and a parameter of the blocks; acquires, as an estimated temperature curve, a temperature curve for a case in which an appliance is caused to execute the created block sequence; and searches for a block sequence with which the estimated temperature curve and the target temperature curve approach one another. An output unit 434 outputs the converted block sequence.

Abstract

A receiving unit 420 receives information about a first block sequence, which is a block sequence scheduled to be executed by a device. An identification unit 422 identifies a second block which is similar to a first block included in the first block sequence, from a second block sequence, which is a block sequence which was already executed. A processing unit 406 corrects the first block on the basis of a determination flag, which expresses a user preference for the second block, and a correction value for a parameter of the second block. An output unit 424 outputs a first block sequence which contains the corrected first block.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a user equipment, UE, comprising the following. Processing circuitry of the UE operates a video application, according to which video frames are generated with a video frame periodicity. Each video frame is generated within a jitter window having a jitter window length. A transceiver of the UE uses radio resources for exchanging one or more video frames of the video application between the UE and a base station. The radio resources are determined by the UE based on one or more periodic-resources configurations. When the processing circuitry determines that data for a video frame, generated during one jitter window, was exchanged by use a periodic resource of one of the one or more periodic-resources configurations, the processing circuitry determines to prohibit the use of further periodic radio resources according to the one or more periodic-resources configurations for a period of time.
