AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies do not support remote operation of image forming apparatuses without direct interaction with the operation panel, and there is a need for improved control methods to prevent unintended operations.
A system involving an image forming apparatus, a first information processing device, and a second information processing device connected via the Internet, utilizing browser-based remote operation programs to execute and manage operations remotely, with specific screens displayed on user interfaces and data transmission through cloud storage and local communication, ensuring that image forming processes are controlled and unintended operations are prevented.
The system enables secure and controlled remote operation of image forming apparatuses, preventing unintended operations by suppressing image forming processes during remote control states, and ensuring that only authorized operations are executed.
