Device control apparatus, device apparatus, control method, program, and device control system

A control method comprising:

• a transmission unit of a device control apparatus transmitting a first command to a device apparatus, the device control apparatus controlling operation of the device apparatus, the first command causing a prescribed process to be divided and executed;
• and
• an acquisition unit of the device control apparatus acquiring, from the device apparatus, a remaining number of times needed before completion of the prescribed process, after a division process of the device apparatus based on the first command is completed, wherein
• the transmission unit repeatedly executes transmission of the first command the remaining number of times.

A device apparatus comprising:

• an acquisition unit acquiring, from a device control apparatus, a first command for causing a prescribed process to be divided and executed;
• and
• a transmission unit transmitting, to the device control apparatus, a remaining number of times needed before completion of the prescribed process, after a division process based on the first command is completed, wherein
• the acquisition unit repeatedly acquires the first command the remaining number of times.

A control method comprising:

• an acquisition unit of a device apparatus acquiring a first command from a device control apparatus, the device apparatus being controlled by the device control apparatus, the first command causing a prescribed process to be divided and executed;
• and
• a transmission unit of the device apparatus transmitting, to the device control apparatus, a remaining number of times needed before completion of the prescribed process, after a division process based on the first command is completed, wherein
• the acquisition unit repeatedly acquires the first command the remaining number of times.

A device control system comprising a device apparatus and a device control apparatus,

• the device control apparatus comprising:
• a first transmission unit transmitting, to the device apparatus, a first command for causing a prescribed process to be divided and executed;
• and
• a first acquisition unit acquiring, from the device apparatus, a remaining number of times needed before completion of the prescribed process, after a division process of the device apparatus based on the first command is completed,
• the device apparatus comprising:
• a second acquisition unit acquiring the first command from the device control apparatus;
• and
• a second transmission unit transmitting the remaining number of times to the device control apparatus, after the division process based on the first command is completed, wherein
• the first transmission unit repeatedly executes transmission of the first command the remaining number of times.
