Claim Text:
1. A network system, comprising: a network; a terminal apparatus; and a network apparatus which wakes up in a case of receiving a wake-up instruction from the terminal apparatus over the network, wherein the network apparatus includes a memory and a processor performing the functions of: a wake-up instruction receiving unit that receives the wake-up instruction, a wake-up control unit that performs wake-up processing in a case of receiving the wake-up instruction, and a state transmitting unit that, in the case of receiving the wake-up instruction, transmits a state notification of the wake-up processing to the terminal apparatus while said network apparatus is not fully operational until the wake-up processing is completed, the state notification including an estimated time required for the network apparatus to complete the wake-up processing; and wherein the terminal apparatus includes a memory and a processor performing the functions of: a wake-up instruction transmitting unit that transmits the wake-up instruction; a state receiving unit that receives the state notification of the wake-up processing; a state display unit that displays a state of the wake-up processing in a case of receiving the state notification of the wake-up processing, the state of the wake-up processing including a state of progress of the wake-up processing based on the estimated time; and the network system further comprises a second terminal apparatus, wherein if the second terminal apparatus sends a second wake-up instruction to said network apparatus while said network apparatus is executing said wake-up processing, then the wake-up control unit does not perform a second wake-up processing in response to the second wake-up instruction, and the state transmitting unit does transmit the state notification of the wake-up processing being executed by the said network apparatus to the second terminal apparatus.
