Abstract: When a user validation portion validates that a person is present adjacent to an electronic apparatus, the electronic apparatus generates an identification code, converts the identification code to a QR code, and displays the QR code on an identification code display portion. When the QR code that has been displayed has been inputted with an identification code input portion to allow an operation portion to assign operation for the electronic apparatus, an operation portion transmits operation information that indicates the operation that has been assigned and the identification code to which the QR code that has been inputted has been decoded. When the identification code that has been received by the electronic apparatus corresponds to the identification code that has been displayed thereon, the electronic apparatus executes the process according to the operation indicated by the operation information that has been received thereby.

Abstract: An operating device includes a connecting portion connectable to an external memory device storing operation data, an operation detecting portion that detects a positional change of the enclosure of the connected external memory device as an operation carried out on the external memory device, and an operation control portion that gives a command for executing a given action to an electronic equipment (image processing apparatus, etc.) according to the detection result. The above operation data is the data that presets a command for causing the electronic equipment to execute a specific action in correspondence to an operation on the external memory device. The operation control portion reads operation data out of the connected external memory device, and gives a command for executing a specific action to a main CPU of the electronic equipment based on an operation detected by the operation detecting portion and the read operation data.
