Abstract: A work terminal (10) notifies a remote terminal (20) of a cooperation display ID of a local UI component that is a UI component corresponding to a UI component displayed on the work terminal (10) and is displayed on the remote terminal (20). The remote terminal (20) then displays a local UI component corresponding to the cooperation display ID of the local UI component received from the work terminal (10). Subsequently, in a case where input information is input to the displayed local UI component, the remote terminal (20) transmits the input information to the work terminal (10). The work terminal (10) then reflects the input information on the UI component corresponding to the local UI component.
