摘要

A camera that is connected to a PC via a network sends an action decision program in response to an operation screen request from the PC, and obtains a decision result from the PC 300 by causing the PC to execute the action decision program. Based on the thus obtained decision result, data of an operation screen for operating the camera 100 is sent to the PC. As a result, the PC displays the operation screen based on the data. The user of the PC can then remotely control the camera using the operation screen.
