Remote Control System, Image Processing Apparatus, Remote Control Method, And Non-Transitory Computer-Readable Recording Medium Encoded With Remote Control Program

摘要

A hardware processor included in an image processing apparatus establishes a communication path with remote operation devices, selects one of the established communication paths as a valid path, executes a process in accordance with a remote operation command received via the valid path, in response to establishment of new communication paths different from the valid path, sets the new communication paths as waiting paths to which sequence numbers are supplied in a chronological order of establishment of the communication paths, determines whether a same waiting path to which a remote operation device that is the same as a remote operation device connected to the valid path is connected is present, and in the case where the same waiting path is present, in response to disconnection of the valid path, selects the same waiting path as a valid path regardless of the sequence numbers supplied to the waiting paths.

主权项

1. A remote control system that includes an image processing apparatus and a plurality of remote operation devices capable of remotely operating the image processing apparatus, wherein
a hardware processor of each of the plurality of remote operation devices
establishes a communication path with the image processing apparatus,remotely operates the image processing apparatus by executing a first application program and transmitting a remote operation command using the established communication path, andremotely operates the image processing apparatus by executing a second application program and transmitting a remote operation command using the established communication path different from the communication path used for the first application program, and a hardware processor included in the image processing device
establishes a communication path with any of the plurality of remote operation devices,selects any one of the one or more established communication paths as a valid path,executes a process in accordance with a remote operation command received via the valid path,in response to establishment of new communication paths different from the valid path with the valid path being selected, sets the new communication paths as waiting paths to which sequence numbers are supplied in a chronological order of establishment of the communication paths,in the case where the plurality of waiting paths are present, determines whether a same waiting path to which a remote operation device that is the same as a remote operation device connected to the valid path is connected is present among the plurality of waiting paths, andin the case where it is determined that the same waiting path is present, in response to disconnection of the valid path, selects the same waiting path as a valid path regardless of the sequence numbers supplied to the plurality of waiting paths.
