Information processing terminal, information processing device, information processing system, and recording medium

An information processing device capable of communicating with an information processing terminal, the information processing device comprising:

• an image processor to execute a job relating to image process;
• an operational panel on which an operational screen relating to setting on a job to be executed by the image processor is displayed and on which manual input by a user is accepted;
• a remote operation accepting unit to transmit an operational screen displayed on the operational panel to the information processing terminal based on a request for a screen received from the information processing terminal, make setting on a job in response to receipt of operational information indicating operation on the operational screen from the information processing terminal, and update the operational screen to be transmitted to the information processing terminal;
• and
• a program execution unit to function as a cooperation controller, the cooperation controller becoming functional to make, a specific function and the image processor work cooperatively by starting a program when the program is received from the information processing terminal, the program being used for controlling the specific function mounted on the information processing terminal,
• wherein the cooperation controller generates a cooperation operational screen on which the specific function is operated and transmits the cooperation operational screen to the information processing terminal, and in response to receipt of operational information indicating operation on the cooperation operational screen from the information processing terminal, the cooperation controller starts the specific function in the information processing terminal.

An information processing system comprising an information processing device and an information processing terminal capable of communicating with the information processing device, the information processing device including an operational panel on which setting on a job and an order to execute the job are accepted, wherein

• the information processing terminal includes:
• a display unit on which various types of information are displayed;
• an operational input unit to accept user's operation;
• a remote controller to remote control the information processing device by acquiring an operational screen displayed on the operational panel from the information processing device and displaying the operational screen on the display unit, and by transmitting operational information resulting from user's operation to the information processing device while the operational screen is displayed on the display unit;
• a terminal function controller to control a specific function mounted on the information processing terminal;
• and
• a storage storing a program that functions as a cooperation controller to make the information processing device and the terminal function controller work cooperatively,
• the remote controller transmits the program to the information processing device based on user's operation on the operational input unit,
• the information processing device actuates the cooperation controller by starting the program in response to receipt of the program from the information processing terminal,
• the cooperation controller generates a cooperation operational screen and transmits the cooperation operational screen to the information processing terminal, and in response to receipt of operational information indicating operation on the cooperation operational screen from the information processing terminal, the cooperation controller transmits an order to the information processing terminal to start the specific function in the information processing terminal, the cooperation operational screen being used for making the information processing device and the terminal function controller work cooperatively, and
• the terminal function controller starts the specific function in the information processing terminal based on the order transmitted from the cooperation controller.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a control program to bring an information processing terminal into operation, the information processing terminal being capable of communicating with an information processing device with an operational panel on which setting on a job and an order to execute the job are accepted, the information processing terminal including a display unit on which various types of information are displayed, an operational input unit to accept user's operation, and a storage storing a cooperation program, wherein

• the control program makes the information processing terminal function as:
• a remote controller to remote control the information processing device by acquiring an operational screen displayed on the operational panel from the information processing device and displaying the operational screen on the display unit, and by transmitting operational information resulting from user's operation to the information processing device while the operational screen is displayed on the display unit;
• and
• a terminal function controller to control a specific function mounted on the information processing terminal, and
• the remote controller actuates a cooperation controller by starting the cooperation program stored in the storage based on user's operation on the operational input unit, and in response to acquisition of a cooperation operational screen from the cooperation controller, the remote controller displays the cooperation operational screen on at least part of the display unit, the cooperation program functioning as the cooperation controller to make the information processing device and the terminal function controller work cooperatively, the cooperation operational screen being used for making the information processing device and the terminal function controller work cooperatively.
