Electronic device and remote control system

Abstract

A computer includes an SMS module that communicates with a management server apparatus via a network, a display that displays predetermined information, and a CPU that controls an operation of the display. When the SMS module receives a control command from the management server apparatus via the network, the CPU executes processing corresponding to the control command. Furthermore, the CPU transmits a notification signal including information, which indicates a state of execution of the control program, to the management server apparatus via the network. Furthermore, the CPU displays, on the display, a state indicator including information which indicates a state of execution of the control program when the notification signal cannot be transmitted to the management server apparatus via the network.
