SOLUTION: The apparatus to be controlled executes a reserved operation at a reservation time designated by a control apparatus. The apparatus to be controlled includes: a plurality of subunits each interpreting a different command system and providing a function related to the operation; a switch for selecting one of a plurality of the subunits; a reception section for receiving the reservation time and the reservation information including a parameter denoting the subunit under the selection from the control apparatus; a reservation information management section for managing the storage and revision of the reservation information; and a reservation control section for generating an instruction of revising the parameter of the reservation information into a parameter for particularizing the subunit after the revision when other subunit is selected on the basis of a request of a user. The reservation information management section revises the parameter according to the instruction of the reservation control section. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
