Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an NFC control unit that performs proximity wireless communication with an information processing apparatus, a network control unit that performs communication with the information processing apparatus through a network, and an RUI control unit that accepts remote operation from the information processing apparatus. When a unique ID of an NFC tag of the information processing apparatus acquired by the NFC control unit, and an IP address of the information processing apparatus acquired by the network control unit identify the same information processing apparatus, the RUI control unit performs control so as to enable remote operation by the external device.
