Cooperative processing system and cooperative processing method

A cooperative processing method using a cooperative system including an operation terminal and a cooperative processing device connected to each other, the cooperative system being connectable to a plurality of electronic devices, the cooperative processing system performing a cooperative process causing one of the plurality of electronic devices to function as an input device to cause electronic data to be input therefrom and one of the plurality of electronic devices to function as an output device to output the electronic data, the cooperative processing method comprising steps of:

• obtaining input device information from a first image taken by the operation terminal to specify the input device from the plurality of electronic devices and output device information from a second image taken by the operation terminal to specify the output device from the plurality of electronic devices by the operation terminal;
• controlling an input by causing the input device specified by the input device information to input electronic data therefrom through a first interface according to the input device information;
• and
• controlling an output by causing the output device specified by the output device information to output the electronic data through a second interface according to the output device information in an output format appropriate for the output device.
