(S16).

  When there is a permission response (YES in S16), the control unit 51 associates the user ID with the unique information and registers it as registration information (S17), transmits a permission response to the controller device 10 (S18), and performs processing. finish.

  If authentication is not possible (NO in S12), or if there is no authorization response (NO in S16), the control unit 51 ends the process.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of a remote operation processing procedure by the server 50 of the present embodiment. The control unit 51 determines whether or not there is a remote operation request from the controller device 10 (S31). If there is no remote operation request (NO in S31), the process of step S31 is continued.

  When there is a remote operation request (YES in S31), the control unit 51 determines whether or not there is unique information associated with the user ID included in the remote operation request (whether it is registered) (S32).

  When there is unique information, that is, when it is registered (YES in S32), the control unit 51 transmits a remote operation request to the control device 20 related to the unique information (S33), and executes the remote operation (S34). .

  The control unit 51 determines whether or not to end the process (S35). If the process is not ended (NO in S35), the process of step S34 is continued. When the process ends (YES in S35), the process ends. If there is no unique information associated with the user ID (NO in S32), it is determined that the access is unauthorized, and the process ends.
