Remote operation device, remote operation method, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium encoded with remote operation program

A remote operation method performed by a remote operation device,

• the remote operation device comprising:
• a display that displays the image;
• and
• an operation acceptor that accepts an operation by a user,
• the remote operation method including:
• an operation screen display step of displaying any of a plurality of operation screens in the display;
• a detection step of detecting a position relative to the image processing apparatus;
• an operation state storage step of storing an operation state indicating an operation accepted by the operation acceptor in a current state before the current state is switched to a non-current state;
• and
• an activation screen determination step of, based on a position detected in the detection step after activation at which the non-current state is switched to the current state and an operation state last stored in the operation state storage step, determining an activation screen from among the plurality of operation screens, wherein
• the operation screen display step includes a step of, in response to the non-current state being switched to the current state, displaying the activation screen determined in the activation screen determination step in the display.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium encoded with a remote operation program,

• a remote operation device comprising:
• a display that displays an image;
• and
• an operation acceptor that accepts an operation by a user,
• the remote operation program causing a computer that controls the remote operation device to execute:
• an operation screen display step of displaying any of a plurality of operation screens in the display;
• a detection step of detecting a position relative to the image processing apparatus;
• an operation state storage step of storing an operation state indicating an operation accepted by the operation acceptor in a current state before the current state is switched to a non-current state;
• and
• an activation screen determination step of, based on a position detected in the detection step after activation at which the non-current state is switched to the current state and an operation state last stored in the operation state storage step, determining an activation screen from among the plurality of operation screens, wherein
• the operation screen display step includes a step of, in response to the non-current state being switched to the current state, displaying the activation screen determined in the activation screen determination step in the display.
