USER TERMINAL, OPERATOR SERVER, REMOTE SUPPORT METHOD AND USER TERMINAL PROGRAM
First Claim
1. A user terminal which includes a call function and is communicably connected to a different user terminal through a public line network, one of the user terminals serving as a supportee terminal that receives remote support from the other user terminal or serving as an operator (supporter) terminal that provides remote support to the other user terminal, the user terminal comprising:
- user terminal registering means for registering information of at least one different user terminal performing remote support, associated with information related to an owner of the different user terminal, in an address book; and
remote support start means for starting the remote support with respect to the user terminal based on the registered information and information related to the user terminal serving as a call counterpart while the call function is used.

Abstract
Mutual remote support between users is easily facilitated without troublesome complicated user registration. For user terminals between which remote support is performed and each of which sets a call to be an originator of remote support, a user can use an appropriate supporter user terminal to enable the supporter user terminal to access a supportee user terminal to thereby facilitate setting manipulation and check device (or terminal) status with regard to not only the supportee user terminal but also a supportee device that is communicably connected to the supportee user terminal, by merely selecting the supportee device (or terminal) from an address book stored in the corresponding user terminal.
