1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an optometry control program executed by a first information processing device in a subjective optometry system that includes a subjective optometry device having a calibration optical system that changes optical characteristics of a target light flux presented to a subject eye and is used for subjectively measuring optical characteristics of the subject eye, and the first information processing device connected to the subjective optometry device, the optometry control program comprising:
a drive control application program for realizing an application that transmits a drive signal for controlling an action of the subjective optometry device to the subjective optometry device; and
a self-optometry application program for realizing an application that automatically proceeds with an optometry based on a response input by an examinee,
wherein the drive control application program comprises instructions which, when the drive control application program is executed by a controller of the first information processing device, cause the first information processing device to perform:
an instruction signal acquisition step of acquiring an instruction signal for instructing an operation of the subjective optometry device; and
a drive signal transmission step of transmitting the drive signal for causing the subjective optometry device to operate as instructed by the acquired instruction signal to the subjective optometry device,
wherein in a case where the first information processing device is remote-accessed by a second information processing device which is another information processing device connected via a network, the instruction signal input to the second information processing device by a user is acquired by the first information processing device via the network, in the instruction signal acquisition step,
wherein the self-optometry application program comprises instructions which, when the self-optometry application program is executed by the controller of the first information processing device, cause the first information processing device to perform:
a response acquisition step of acquiring a response input by the examinee who visually recognizes a presented target; and
an instruction signal generation step of generating the instruction signal for instructing an operation of the subjective optometry device based on the acquired response;
wherein the optometry control program comprises instructions which, when the optometry control program is executed by the controller of the first information processing device, cause the first information processing device to perform an optometry method switching step of switching between a self-optometry which is an optometry carried out by the self-optometry application program, and a remote optometry which is an optometry carried out in response to the instruction signal input to the second information processing device;
wherein, when an optometry for an examinee is started, the self-optometry is carried out prior to the remote optometry in a state that remote access of one or a plurality of the second information processing devices with respect to the first information processing device is established;
wherein in the state where the remote access is established, when an instruction signal is input by an examiner to the second information processing device that remote-accesses the first information processing device, the input instruction signal is acquired by the first information processing device,
wherein in the optometry method switching step to be performed during the self-optometry, the optometry method is switched to the remote optometry by at least one of the second information processing devices for which remote access to the first information processing device is established, in a case where a situation of the self-optometry being carried out satisfies a predetermined condition during the self-optometry or in a case where an instruction to switch to the remote optometry is input during the self-optometry; and
wherein the optometry control program comprises instructions which, when the optometry control program is executed by the controller of the first information processing device, cause the first information processing device to perform:
a notification step of causing the second information processing device, for which the remote access to the first information processing device is established, to perform a notification operation to a user, in a case where a situation of the self-optometry being carried out satisfies a predetermined condition or in a case where an instruction to switch to the remote optometry is input.
