Abstract
A possibility that operated equipment is operated from an operation terminal of a person who does not intend to operate the operated equipment 101 is lowered. A communication control apparatus 102 includes a first wireless communication unit that starts action of near-field wireless communication when acquiring a detection signal of a user or a target by a sensor installed in the operated equipment or an apparatus relating to the operated equipment, and an operation unit that operates the operated equipment by use of the first wireless communication unit, based on information from the operation terminal.
Claims14
An equipment operation system comprising:
- a communication control apparatus and an operation terminal capable of performing near-field wireless communication with each other,
- wherein the communication control apparatus comprises:
- at least one memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
- starting action of near-field wireless communication when acquiring a detection signal indicating a touch operation by a touch sensor for detecting the touch operation, the touch 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 the operation terminal, and
- wherein the operation terminal comprises:
- at least one memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
- 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.
A communication control apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory storing instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
- starting action of near-field wireless communication when acquiring a detection signal indicating a touch operation by a touch sensor for detecting the touch operation, the touch sensor being installed in operated equipment or an apparatus relating to the operated equipment;
