Abstract: A remote operation system enables remote operation by an operation terminal of an electronic appliance, which executes a process according to control data from an external apparatus and outputs response data to the external apparatus, via the Internet. The remote operation system includes a first processor connected to the Internet and a second processor locally connected to the electronic appliance and set up for access by the first processor via the Internet. The second processor executes a first process that establishes a first path for reception of transmission data via the Internet from the first processor at any time. The first processor executes a second process that instructs the second processor via the first path to establish a second path for end-to-end communication to enable remote operation of the electronic appliance by the operation terminal via the Internet.
