1. In a system including at least one device and a plurality of sensors, a device control method for controlling the device, comprising:

  • a first step of recording an operation of the device into a storage section together with a change in output value of each of the sensors at the operation;

    a second step of specifying at least one of sensors of which output value is influenced by the operation from data recorded in the storage section;

    a third step of generating, through learning, a prediction model expressing a relationship between the operation and the sensor specified regarding the operation in the second step, from the data recorded in the storage section;

    a fourth step of receiving an indication about a target sensor that defines a target state and a target value for an output of the target sensor; and

    a fifth step of selecting a model including the target sensor from the prediction model generated in the third step and determining an operation that allows the output of the target sensor to be the target value on the basis of the selected model, wherein when a configuration of the device and the sensors in the system are changed, the first step and the second step are executed, and whether or not a new prediction model is necessary is judged from a processing result in the second step, and the new prediction model is generated through learning when the new model is judged necessary.
