1. An in-home device for use in a home, the in-home device comprising:
- a first communicator configured to communicate with a terminal device;
a second communicator configured to communicate with a server located outside the home;
a manager registry configured to accept a manager registration operation by a user via the terminal device and perform a manager registration based on information inputted by the user during the manager registration operation; and
a registration request data generator configured to generate user registration request data information included in the information inputted by the user and a preliminarily held device identification of the in home device; and
a data transmitter configured, when the manager registration operation is accepted,if the second communicator and the server are in a communicative state with each other, to transmit data to the server via the second communicator, the data containing information included in the information inputted by the user and a device identification of the in-home device, andif the second communicator and the server are in a non-communicative state with each other, to not transmit the data to the server via the second communicator, and thereafter upon the non-communicative state changing to the communicative state, to transmit the data to the server via the second communicator.

Abstract
A controller of an in-home controller receives, via a terminal communicator, input data related to a manager registration transmitted from a terminal device. The controller performs a manager registration based on the received input data. Also, the controller generates user registration request data containing a user ID and a password extracted from the received input data, a controller ID read from data storage. The controller transmits the generated user registration request data to an external server via a wide-area communicator.

4. A remote control system comprising an in-home device for use in a home, a terminal device, and a server located outside the home,
the in-home device comprising: -
a first communicator configured to communicate with the terminal device; a second communicator configured to communicate with the server; a manager registry configured to accept a manager registration operation by a user via the terminal device and perform a manager registration based on information inputted by the user during the manager registration operation; and a data transmitter configured, when the manager registration operation is accepted, if the second communicator and the server are in a communicative state with each other, to transmit data to the server via the second communicator, the data containing information included in the information inputted by the user and a device identification of the in-home device, and if the second communicator and the server are in a non-communicative state with each other, to not transmit the data to the server via the second communicator, and thereafter upon the non-communicative state changing to the communicative state, to transmit the data to the server via the second communicator, the server comprising; a third communicator configured to communicate with the in-home device and the terminal device; a database in which customer information is registered; and a controller configured to update, upon receiving the data from the in-home device via the third communicator, the database based on content of the received data. - View Dependent Claims (5)

6. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored thereof a program that causes a computer, including a communication interface for communicating with a sever located outside a home, to function as:
-
a manager registry configured to accept a manager registration operation by a user via a terminal device and perform a manager registration based on information inputted by the user during the manager registration operation; and a data transmitter configured, when the manager registration operation is accepted, if the communication interface and the server are in a communicative state with each other, to transmit data to the server via the communication interface, the data containing information included in the information inputted by the user and a device identification of itself, and if the communication interface and the server are in a non-communicative state with each other, to not transmit the data to the server via the communication interface, and thereafter upon the non-communicative state changing to the communicative state, to transmit the data to the server via the communication interface.
