PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a device not registered in an image processing device to remotely operate the image processing device, while eliminating unauthorized operation.SOLUTION: An MFP includes a CPU 11 comprising: a remote control unit 31 that executes processing according to remote operation transmitted from a previously registered master device of a plurality of portable information devices; and a device confirmation unit 17 that when remote operation instructing connection with a sub device is received from the master device, asks a device other than the own device on which login is simultaneously performed for confirming that the device itself is remotely operated by the master device. The remote control unit 31, when it is confirmed by the device confirmation unit 17 that the device on which login is simultaneously performed is remotely operated by the master device, executes processing according to remote operation received from the sub device even when the sub device is not previously registered.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】不正な操作を排除しつつ、画像処理装置に登録されていない装置による画像処理装置の遠隔操作を可能とする。【解決手段】ＭＦＰのＣＰＵ１１は、複数の携帯情報装置のうち予め登録されたマスター装置から送信される遠隔操作に従って処理を実行する遠隔制御部３１と、マスター装置からサブ装置との接続を指示する遠隔操作が受信される場合、自装置以外の重複ログイン装置がマスター装置により遠隔操作されていることを重複ログイン装置に確認する装置確認部１７と、を備える。遠隔制御部３１は、装置確認部１７により重複ログイン装置がマスター装置により遠隔操作されていることが確認される場合、サブ装置が予め登録されていなくても、サブ装置から受信される遠隔操作に従って処理を実行する。【選択図】図４
