Abstract
Abstract A controller ( 1 ) and target devices ( 2, 3 ) are connected via a network. The controller ( 1 ) displays an operation panel for controlling the target device ( 2 ) at a display device ( 10 ) based on information from the target device ( 2 ). The controller ( 1 ) is capable of changing an element and a user action of the operation panel based on data obtained by data broadcast.
