Communication control apparatus, operation terminal, and equipment operation system

An operation terminal comprising:

• at least one memory storing instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
• acquiring equipment information for identifying operated equipment;
• acquiring operation screen information relating to an operation screen of the operated equipment, via first communication path by use of the equipment information;
• outputting the acquired operation screen information;
• storing an operation history via the operation screen;
• and
• transmitting, to an external apparatus via second communication path that is different communication path from the first communication path, transmission information including at least one of identification information of an operation terminal and identification information of a user, and the operation history, wherein
• the first communication path is a communication path using with near-field wireless communication that has been stopped and start when a user or a target is detected by a sensor for detecting the user or the target,
• the target is different from the operation terminal, and
• operating the operated equipment includes
• acquiring, from the operation terminal, equipment information for identifying the operated equipment, and
• outputting, to the operation terminal, an operation screen of the operated equipment, based on the acquired equipment information.

An equipment operation system comprising:

• a communication control apparatus and an operation terminal being capable of performing near-field wireless communication with each other, wherein
• the communication control apparatus includes:
• at least one memory storing instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations including:
• starting action of near-field wireless communication that has been stopped, when acquiring a detection signal indicating that a user or a target is detected from a sensor for detecting the user or the target, the sensor being installed in operated equipment or an apparatus relating to the operated equipment, and
• operating the operated equipment by use of the near-field wireless communication, based on information acquired from an operation terminal, and
• the target is different from the operation terminal, and
• the operation terminal includes:
• at least one memory storing instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations including:
• acquiring equipment information for identifying the operated equipment,
• displaying an operation screen of the operated equipment, based on the equipment information, and
• transmitting, to the communication control apparatus via the near-field wireless communication, the information according to an operation on the operation screen, and
• operating the operated equipment includes
• acquiring, from the operation terminal, equipment information for identifying the operated equipment, and
• outputting, to the operation terminal, an operation screen of the operated equipment, based on the acquired equipment information.
