(EN) The present invention provides a method for controlling a portable information terminal and a program. When the selection of an icon representing an air conditioner is detected in the range of a region corresponding to a room in a layout diagram, an operation screen for changing the setting of an air conditioner disposed in the region corresponding to the room is displayed overlapping a display screen. An effective range to which the effect of the operation of the air conditioner extends on the basis of the setting contents thereof is displayed at a region corresponding to the room on the display screen. By means of the above, the range to which the effect of an air conditioner extends is reflected as the operation results resulting from an operation screen on the layout diagram used in the operation window for household appliances in the display screen at which there is a limitation to the display region, and so, by means of a simple means and without causing increased process complexity, it is possible to notify of operation results that cannot be confirmed via the human eye such as the range to which the effect of an air conditioner extends instead of merely the operation results such as simply turning on/off a power source.
(ZH) 本发明提供一种便携信息终端的控制方法和程序。当在布局图中的与某房间相当的区域的范围内检测到表示空调机的图标的选择时，使在与某房间相当的区域设置的空调机的设定变化的操作画面重叠地显示于显示画面。使基于设定内容的空调机的动作的效果所涉及的效果范围显示于显示画面上的与某房间相当的区域。由此，在显示区域受到制约的显示画面中，在用于家电设备的操作画面的布局图上，反映空调机的效果所涉及的范围作为操作画面的操作结果，因此，能够不使处理复杂化，通过简单的手段，不仅通知如简单的电源的接通/断开那样的操作结果，还通知如空调机的效果所涉及的范围那样无法通过人眼确认的操作结果。
