Abstract
A mediating apparatus, a device management system, a communication control method, and a non-transitory recording medium. The mediating apparatus displays on a display, a screen presenting communication connection status of the communication of the one or more devices, receives selection of a device to be registered in the mediating apparatus, among the one or more devices displayed on the screen presenting the communication connection status, receives a registration request to register the device in the mediating apparatus, and in response to the registration request, connect communication between the mediating apparatus and the device, after disconnection of communication between the remote management system and the device.
Claims12
A mediating apparatus for mediating communication between one or more devices residing in a local network and a remote management system configured to manage the one or more devices,
- the mediating apparatus including circuitry configured to:
- display on a display, a screen presenting communication connection status of the communication of the one or more devices;
- receive selection of a device to be registered in the mediating apparatus, among the one or more devices displayed on the screen presenting the communication connection status;
- receive a registration request to register the device in the mediating apparatus;
- and
- in response to the registration request, connect communication between the mediating apparatus and the device, after disconnection of communication between the remote management system and the device.
A method for controlling communication between one or more devices residing in a local network and a remote management system configured to manage the one or more devices, performed by a mediating apparatus, the method including:
- displaying on a display, a screen presenting communication connection status of the communication of the one or more devices;
- receiving selection of a device to be registered in the mediating apparatus, among the one or more devices presented on the screen;
- receiving a registration request to register the device in the mediating apparatus;
- and
- in response to the registration request, connecting communication between the mediating apparatus and the device, after disconnection of communication between the remote management system and the device.
A non-transitory recording medium which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to perform a method for controlling, by a mediating apparatus, communication of one or more devices residing in a local network and a remote management system configured to manage the one or more devices, the method comprising:
- displaying on a display, a screen presenting communication connection status of the communication of one or more devices;
- receiving selection of a device to be registered in a mediating apparatus, among the one or more devices presented on the screen;
- receiving a registration request to register the device in the mediating apparatus;
- and
- in response to the registration request, connecting communication between the mediating apparatus and the device, after disconnection of communication between the remote management system and the device.
