Abstract
A remote operation apparatus (300) includes: an operating-side first communication section (301) that is capable of transmitting a signal to an operation target apparatus (200); an operating-side second communication section (302) that is capable of transmitting/receiving the signal to/from the operation target apparatus (200); a connection start section (11) which transmits a connection start signal, which notifies a start of the transmission/reception of the signal via the operating-side second communication section (302), to the operation target apparatus (200) via the operating-side first communication section (301); and an operating-side communication control section (12) which transmits/receives the signal to/from the operation target apparatus (200) via the operating-side second communication section (302). With this arrangement, it is possible to easily specify a communication partner to/from which a signal is transmitted/received via the operating-side second communication section (302). Moreover, an amount of data transmitted by the operating-side first communication section (301) can be suppressed to a bare minimum. That is, it is possible to easily specify a communication partner and to suppress an amount of data transmitted by communication means for specifying the communication partner to a bare minimum.
