1. An image forming system comprising:
an image forming apparatus including an operation panel; and
a mobile terminal apparatus capable of communicating with the image forming apparatus, wherein
the mobile terminal apparatus (a) captures an image of the operation panel of the image forming apparatus to generate a captured image, (b) displays the captured image, (c) detects a user operation on the captured image, (d) identifies a position of the user operation on the captured image, and (e) transmits captured image data indicating the captured image and operation position data indicating the position of the user operation to the image forming apparatus,
the image forming apparatus executes (a) a process of receiving the captured image data and the operation position data from the mobile terminal apparatus, (b) a process of detecting an operation panel image in the captured image indicated by the captured image data and identifies an operation position indicated by the operation position data, (c) a process of identifying a relative position of the operation position with respect to the operation panel image, (d) a process of identifying, based on the relative position, a part of the operation panel indirectly operated by a user, and (e) executes an action corresponding to the identified part, and
the mobile terminal apparatus does not execute the process of identifying the part of the operation panel indirectly operated by the user.
