Information processing system, terminal device, and information processing device that uses setting related information, which corresponds to manual item displayed at terminal device

A display method for displaying setting related information of an information processing device at a terminal device based on operation manual information of the information processing device, the operation manual information being displayed at the terminal device, wherein

• the operation manual information includes a plurality of operation manual items, and these operation manual items are concerned with a screen that explains operations performed by a user who operates the information processing device for processing information, and
• the setting related information includes a plurality of setting items, and these setting items are concerned with a setting change screen in which the user is able to change a device setting of the information processing device for processing the information,
• the display method, comprising:
• i) displaying one of the operation manual items included in the operation manual information, which is defined as a displayed operation manual item, at the terminal device, the displayed operation manual item being either pre-stored in the terminal device or distributed through a network from an external server that is not the information processing device,
• ii) supplying an operation manual item identifier that identifies the displayed operation manual item displayed at the terminal device to the information processing device,
• iii) receiving the operation manual item identifier, then determining one of the setting items at the information processing device, which is defined as a determined setting item, by referring to corresponding information in which the operation manual item identifier, which is able to identify the operation manual item that is displayed in the terminal device, is related to at least the determined setting item, and supplying setting item information, which indicates the determined setting item, to the terminal device,
• iv) receiving the setting item information, then obtaining the setting related information from the network based on the received setting item information, and displaying the setting related information, which is obtained based on the displayed operation manual item, at the terminal device, and
• v) receiving a change of the device setting with respect to the determined setting item included in the setting related information displayed at the terminal device, and
• the step ii), at which the operation manual item identifier is supplied to the information process device, is executed when the terminal device is placed within a communicable range of first wireless communication by the information processing device, and
• the step iii), at which the setting item information indicating the determined setting item is supplied to the terminal device, is executed through second wireless communication.
