Information processing system, information processing method, mobile phone, server, and control methods and control programs thereof

摘要

When an input device is connected via a communication interface, a mobile phone determines whether a local device can control the input device. When it is determined that the local device cannot control the input device, the mobile phone requests a server connected via a wireless communication network to control the input device. The mobile phone controls signal transfer between the input device and the server via the communication interface and the wireless communication network so that the server can control the input device by establishing communication between the input device and the server. In response to the request from the mobile phone, the server controls the input device via the established communication with the input device.

1. An information processing system comprising:
a mobile device; and a server connected to the mobile device via a wireless communication network, wherein the mobile device comprises a first memory storing first instructions and a first processor configured to execute the first instructions to:
determine, when an input device is connected via a communication interface, whether the mobile device can control the input device;request, when it is determined that the mobile device cannot control the input device, the server to control the input device; andcontrol signal transfer between the input device and the server via the communication interface and the wireless communication network, so that the server can control the input device, by establishing communication between the input device and the server; and wherein the server comprises a second memory storing second instructions and a second processor configured to execute the second instructions to: control, in response to the request, the input device via the established communication with the input device; read, from a message table storing a correspondence relationship between a type of the input device and an inquiry message to inquire about an output destination of a data input from the input device, the inquiry message corresponding to the input device connected to the mobile device; and display the inquiry message on a display device of the mobile device.
