First Claim
1. An image acquisition system comprising:
- an image acquisition device having a image acquisition unit; and
a commanding device configured as a member separate from the image acquisition device and adapted to transmit a command to the image acquisition device to control the image acquisition device, thereby permitting the image acquisition device to perform an operation corresponding to the command, whereinthe image acquisition device includes an identification information transmission unit configured to transmit identification information to the commanding device to permit the image acquisition device to identify the commanding device, andthe commanding device includes;
an identification information receiving unit configured to receive the identification information transmitted from the image acquisition device; and
a command transmission unit configured to transmit a command to control the image acquisition device as a command with authentication information containing the authentication information for permitting the image acquisition device to authenticate the commanding device, the authentication information containing one of the identification information and the information derived from the identification information received by the identification information receiving unit.

Abstract
An image acquisition system includes an image acquisition device and a commanding device configured as a member separate from the image acquisition device to transmit a command to the image acquisition device for controlling the image acquisition device in such a manner as to permit the image acquisition device to operate in response to the command. The image acquisition device transmits to the commanding device identification information permitting the image acquisition device to identify the commanding device. The commanding device receives the transmitted identification information and transmits a command with authentication information contains authentication information permitting the image acquisition device to authenticate the commanding device, the authentication information containing one of the received identification information and information derived from the identification information.
