Questions about the technology: 1. How does the wireless operation terminal connect to the external connector? 2. What are the key advantages of using a handheld operation terminal in this system?
Original Abstract Submitted
A device control system includes: a wireless device including a device to be controlled and external connector that is connected to the device to be controlled, transmits/receives information to/from the device to be controlled, and is wirelessly connected to a wireless LAN router; a handheld operation terminal that includes a display unit for displaying information and operates the device to be controlled; and a wireless operation terminal that is a terminal different from the handheld operation terminal and operates the device to be controlled via the external connector. When the wireless device receives, from the handheld operation terminal, an information acquisition request for first information that is information necessary for connecting the wireless operation terminal to the external connector, the wireless device selectively transmits the first information to the handheld operation terminal, and the display unit displays the first information.
