Abstract
A management server comprises: a control program storing unit which stores control programs of multiple types that correspond to respective user skill levels, which allow the user to remotely control an apparatus via a portable information terminal; a device information acquisition unit which acquires device information with respect to the apparatus to be controlled; a history acquisition unit which acquires the user's operation history; a control program judgment unit which judges the control program type to be transmitted based upon the operation history; and a version management unit which transmits the latest-version control program when a control program already transmitted to the portable information terminal does not match the latest version. When the latest-version control program is transmitted to the portable information terminal, the control program judgment unit again judges the control program type to be transmitted, based upon the user's operation history.
