Summary:To solve the problem in which: when a number of terminal devices simultaneously access an image forming apparatus, processing on data to be displayed on displays of the terminal devices is delayed, which degrades the responsiveness of the terminal devices when users instruct execution of target functions to the image forming apparatus.SOLUTION: A delay determination unit 24 included in an image forming apparatus 2 determines a delay in processing on data displayed on a display included in a remotely connected operation panel 3. An executability determination unit 25 determines, when the processing on the data is determined to be delayed, whether a function the execution of which is instructed from the operation panel 3 is a function that can be immediately executed by the apparatus according to the state of the apparatus. A priority changing unit 26 decreases the priority of the processing on the data when the function is determined not to be a function that can be immediately executed by the apparatus.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】多くの端末装置が画像形成装置に同時にアクセスすることで、端末装置の表示部に表示されるデータに対する処理に遅延が生じ、ユーザが目的とする機能の実行を画像形成装置に指示する際に、端末装置の応答性が悪化していた。【解決手段】画像形成装置2が備える遅延判断部24は、リモート接続された操作パネル3が有する表示部に表示されるデータに対する処理の遅延を判断する。実行可能判断部25は、データに対する処理が遅延有りと判断された場合に、操作パネル3から実行が指示される機能が自装置で直ちに実行可能な機能であるかを自装置の状態から判断する。優先度変更部26は、自装置で直ちに実行可能な機能でないと判断された場合に、データに対する処理の優先度を下げる。【選択図】図2
