1. A remote monitoring method in a remote monitoring system comprising a first communicator connected to a server that performs a charging process depending on a state of a power supply of an electrical apparatus and a second communicator connected to the first communicator via a wireless communication network and that monitors the state of the power supply of the electrical apparatus, the remote monitoring method comprising:

  • making the server start the charging process associated with a user of the electrical apparatus by the first communicator in a case where the first communicator receives on-information, indicating the occurrence of a change of the electric power of the electrical apparatus from an off-state to an on-state, from the second communicator via the wireless communication network;

    making the server end the charging process by the first communicator in a case where after the first communicator makes the server start the charging process, the first communicator detects an occurrence of an interruption of the wireless communication between the first communicator and the second communicator;

    transmitting the on-information to the first communicator via the wireless communication network by the second communicator in a case where the second communicator detects the occurrence of the change of the electric power of the electrical apparatus from the off-state to the on-state;

    maintaining the electric power of the electrical apparatus in the on-state by the second communicator for a period in which the wireless communication between the second communicator and the first communicator continues; and

    changing the electric power of the electrical apparatus from the on-state to the off-state by the second communicator in a case where the second communicator detects the occurrence of an interruption of the wireless communication between the second communicator and the first communicator.
