REMOTELY-OPERATED APPARATUS REMOTELY OPERATED BY EXTERNAL TERMINAL, REMOTE OPERATION SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

A remotely-operated apparatus remotely operated by an external terminal notifies the external terminal of a first transition command when a server cooperation process which is a cooperation process with a server is performed. The first transition command is a command indicating that a display mode of the external terminal, in which a remote operation screen used for remotely operating the remotely-operated apparatus is displayed on a display part of the external terminal, should be changed from a transmitted image use mode in which a transmitted image screen is displayed to a browser use mode in which a browser screen is displayed. Further, the remotely-operated apparatus notifies the external terminal of a second transition command indicating that the display mode should be changed from the browser use mode to the transmitted image use mode when occurrence of a specific event inside or outside the remotely-operated apparatus is detected.

主权项

1. A remote operation system, comprising:
a remotely-operated apparatus; an external terminal for remotely operating said remotely-operated apparatus; and a server capable of making communication with said remotely-operated apparatus and also capable of making communication with said external terminal, wherein said external terminal has: a display control part for displaying a remote operation screen used for remotely operating said remotely-operated apparatus on a display part of said external terminal by selectively using one of a plurality of display modes including a browser use mode and a transmitted image use mode, said browser use mode is a mode in which a browser screen which is a display screen based on browser communication data acquired from a communication partner by using a browser of said external terminal is displayed, said transmitted image use mode is a mode in which a transmitted image screen which is a display screen based on image data transmitted from said remotely-operated apparatus is displayed, said remotely-operated apparatus has: a first notification part for notifying said external terminal of a first transition command indicating that a display mode of said external terminal should be changed from said transmitted image use mode to said browser use mode when a server cooperation process which is a cooperation process with said server is performed, said display control part of said external terminal changes said display mode to said browser use mode in response to said first transition command and displays said browser screen on the basis of said browser communication data acquired by using said browser of said external terminal, said remotely-operated apparatus further has: a detection part for detecting occurrence of a specific event inside or outside said remotely-operated apparatus; and a second notification part for notifying said external terminal of a second transition command indicating that said display mode should be changed from said browser use mode to said transmitted image use mode when the occurrence of said specific event is detected by said detection part, and said display control part of said external terminal changes said display mode to said transmitted image use mode in response to said second transition command and displays said transmitted image screen on the basis of said image data transmitted from said remotely-operated apparatus in response to the occurrence of said specific event.
