A method for controlling an information apparatus, the information apparatus having a touch panel display and being connected to a network, one or more target devices being controlled over the network, the method causing a computer of the information apparatus to: display on the touch panel display , a display screen representing a floor plan of a building; display device icons on the display screen representing the floor plan , the device icons representing the one or more target devices respectively, the device icons including an icon representing an electric shutter device that is capable of opening or closing a shutter through a remote operation; display an operation screen on the display screen representing the floor plan , when selection of the icon representing the electric shutter device , among the one or more target devices, is sensed, the operation screen including a shutter image representing the shutter of the electric shutter device ; and output a movement control command to the network when a swipe operation is sensed on the shutter image included in the operation screen , the movement control command being for moving the shutter of the electric shutter device in a swipe direction of the swipe operation, the electric shutter device corresponding to the selected icon, the method being characterized in that when the swipe operation is sensed on the operation screen , and when the movement control command is output to the network subsequently to sensing the swipe operation, a region corresponding to the shutter image representing the shutter of the electric shutter device is varied into an image in which the shutter of the electric shutter device is moved in accordance with an amount of movement in the swipe direction of the swipe operation, the shutter image included in the operation screen being moved for a distance matching an operation distance of the swipe operation. display on the touch panel display , a display screen representing a floor plan of a building; display device icons on the display screen representing the floor plan , the device icons representing the one or more target devices respectively, the device icons including an icon representing an electric shutter device that is capable of opening or closing a shutter through a remote operation; display an operation screen on the display screen representing the floor plan , when selection of the icon representing the electric shutter device , among the one or more target devices, is sensed, the operation screen including a shutter image representing the shutter of the electric shutter device ; and output a movement control command to the network when a swipe operation is sensed on the shutter image included in the operation screen , the movement control command being for moving the shutter of the electric shutter device in a swipe direction of the swipe operation, the electric shutter device corresponding to the selected icon, the method being characterized in that when the swipe operation is sensed on the operation screen , and when the movement control command is output to the network subsequently to sensing the swipe operation, a region corresponding to the shutter image representing the shutter of the electric shutter device is varied into an image in which the shutter of the electric shutter device is moved in accordance with an amount of movement in the swipe direction of the swipe operation, the shutter image included in the operation screen being moved for a distance matching an operation distance of the swipe operation. <EOS>
