First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus remotely controlling an image forming apparatus having an operating state changeable, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a remote operation accepting portion to accept an operation by a user; and
a remote control portion to remotely control said image forming apparatus on the basis of a remote operation accepted by said remote operation accepting portion, the remote control portion includinga motion detecting portion to detect a motion of the user, anda state maintaining portion to control said image forming apparatus not to change the operating state while a remote-operation motion for inputting a remote operation is detected by said motion detecting portion after a communication with said image forming apparatus has been established.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus remotely controls an image forming apparatus having an operating state changeable. The information processing apparatus includes a remote operation accepting portion to accept a user operation, and a remote control portion to remotely control the image forming apparatus on the basis of a remote operation accepted by the remote operation accepting portion. The remote control portion includes a motion detecting portion to detect a motion of the user, and a state maintaining portion to control the image forming apparatus not to change the operating state while a remote-operation motion for inputting a remote operation is detected by the motion detecting portion after a communication with the image forming apparatus has been established.

7. An image forming apparatus remotely controlled by an information processing apparatus, the image forming apparatus comprising:
-
a motion information acquiring portion to acquire, from said information processing apparatus, motion information indicating a motion of a user who is operating said information processing apparatus; a remote-operation motion determining portion to determine whether the motion of the user is a remote-operation motion, on the basis of the motion information acquired by said motion information acquiring portion; and a remotely-controlled-state maintaining portion to maintain a state of being remotely controlled by said information processing apparatus in the case where said remote-operation motion determining portion determines that the motion of the user after a communication with said information processing apparatus has been established is the remote-operation motion. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium encoded with a remote operation program performed by a computer controlling an information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus remotely controlling an image forming apparatus having an operating state changeable, the program causing said computer to perform:
-
a remote operation accepting step of accepting an operation of a user; and a remote control step of remotely controlling said image forming apparatus on the basis of a remote operation accepted in said remote operation accepting step, the remote control step including a motion detecting step of detecting a motion of the user, and a state maintaining step of causing said image forming apparatus not to change the operating state while a remote-operation motion for inputting a remote operation is detected in said motion detecting step after a communication with said image forming apparatus has been established.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium encoded with a remote control program performed by a computer controlling an image forming apparatus, the image forming apparatus being remotely controlled by an information processing apparatus, the program causing said computer to perform:
-
a motion information acquiring step of acquiring, from said information processing apparatus, motion information indicating a motion of a user who is operating said information processing apparatus; a remote-operation motion determining step of determining whether the motion of the user is a remote-operation motion, on the basis of the motion information acquired in said motion information acquiring step; and a remotely-controlled-state maintaining step of maintaining a state of being remotely controlled by said information processing apparatus in the case where the motion of the user after a communication with said information processing apparatus has been established is determined to be the remote-operation motion in said remote-operation motion determining step.
