MAIN BODY APPARATUS, REMOTE CONTROL APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD FOR REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

It is an object of the invention to prevent an inconsistency from occurring between settings in a main body apparatus and plural remote controllers in a remote control system in which a setting of the main body apparatus can be changed from the remote controllers. The remote control system includes: the main body apparatus that performs a predetermined operation; and the plural remote controllers that changes a setting in the main body apparatus from remote locations. The main body apparatus includes: a changing apparatus holding unit that stores apparatus identification information, which is capable of specifying a remote controller that has changes a setting to a present setting, in a main body side storage unit; a main body side communication possibility judging unit that judges whether communication with the other remote controllers excluding the remote controller, which has changed the setting to the present setting, is possible; and a setting notifying unit that, when communication with the other remote controllers has become possible, transmits setting information indicating a setting state of the main body apparatus to the remote controllers.
