Fide handbook,

Article 1.1

  "The game of chess is played between two opponents who move their pieces
alternately on a square board called a `chessboard`. The player with the white
pieces commences the game. A player is said to `have the move`, when his
opponent`s move has been made."

Clearly this would make the operator the player and so...

Article 12.2

   A. "During play the players are forbidden to make use of any notes, sources
of information, advice, or analyse on another chessboard."

This would not allow him to consult the computer.

Regards
Tony
