摘要

When an operator presses a switching button on the controller, a remote communication station is selected by a local communication station according to a predetermined sequence and, in the remote communication station, apparatuses are selected according to a predetermined sequence. When the operator presses the switching button on the controller again, a message to the effect that switching to all apparatuses in the remote communication station has been completed is sent to the local communication station. According to a predetermined sequence, a remote communication station, which is the next remote communication station, is selected. In the remote station, apparatuses are selected in the same way according to a predetermined sequence. This configuration allows desired contents to be selected easily even if contents contained in apparatuses are distributed across a plurality of stations.
