An image forming apparatus has a display device and a mechanically-configured operating unit, and enables use of a function implemented in an information processing apparatus via a network. The image forming apparatus includes: a remote function-displaying unit that obtains display information to display a visual interface of the function implemented in the information processing apparatus to display the visual interface on the display device; a remote operating unit that sends operation information indicating contents of an operation on the display screen to the information processing apparatus; and a mechanical operation detecting unit that obtains contents of an operation on the mechanically-configured operating unit. When the visual interface of the function implemented in the information processing apparatus is being displayed on the display device, the mechanical operation detecting unit sends mechanical operation information indicating the contents of the operation on the mechanically-configured operating unit to the information processing apparatus. |
