Abstract
A method is provided for controlling a networked information apparatus that includes a touch panel display. An electric shutter device is controlled over the network to open and close a shutter remotely. A processor of the information apparatus causes display of an operation icon on a display screen of the information apparatus, and the operation icon causes an operation screen for the electric shutter device to be displayed. When a swipe operation is sensed on the operation screen, a movement control command is output for moving the shutter in a swipe direction of the swipe operation, in which positional information indicating an end position in a vertical direction of the shutter of the electric shutter device is received. State information representing the end position of an end portion of the shutter is displayed in a region corresponding to the shutter image in accordance with the received positional information.
