Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify user work for selecting an operation target from among a plurality of controlled apparatuses without an increase in cost.SOLUTION: A reception frequency instruction unit 302 instructs a frequency synthesizer 353 to perform demodulation with a first frequency (5 GHz) first, and instructs the frequency synthesizer 353 to perform demodulation with a second frequency (920 MHz) when the selection of another controlled apparatus is instructed from a user in a state where menu buttons indicative of all controlled apparatuses having detected ID information are displayed.
Abstract:
Techniques that facilitate the learning and processing of remote control signals by a host device and an accessory. In one set of embodiments, the host device and the accessory can operate in a first mode in which the host device can learn signals from (and thus be remotely operated by) a variety of different remote controls. For example, in some embodiments the host device can learn signals from a remote control that was not specifically designed to interoperate with the host device or the accessory. In another set of embodiments, the host device and the accessory can operate in a second mode in which the host device and the accessory can process learned remote control signals while minimizing the amount of data transferred between the host device and the accessory.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel and improved technology capable of managing command identification information to be selected by a user and a screen layout viewed by the user for selecting the command identification information, with respect to each control target device. SOLUTION: A remote commander 100 includes: an acquisition section which acquires layout information having one or a plurality of pieces of object information from a control target device 200 via a communication section, wherein the object information is formed by associating command identification information for identifying a command with respect to the control target device 200, object identification information for identifying an object, and coordinate information indicating a position of the object on a screen, with one other; and a display control section which causes the object to be displayed at the position on the screen indicated by the coordinate information, wherein the object is identified by the object identification information with respect to each of the pieces of object information that the layout information acquired by the acquisition section has.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a remote control transmitter-receiver used mainly for operations of various electronic apparatus, which achieves a reliable remote control operation with a simple operation. SOLUTION: Learning of a first remote control transmitter 26 can be performed only by pushing a small number of operation keys, such as operation keys 22A and 22C when a first remote control receiver 36, a second remote control receiver 46 and a second remote control transmitter 56 transmit their own operation codes to the first remote control transmitter 26 in accordance with a predetermined operation of an operating means 22 of the first remote control transmitter 26. The remote control transmitter-receiver can be obtained, which reliably stores operation codes through a simple operation, and performs reliable remote control operation using the stored operation codes.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem wherein, in a conventional remote control system using a camera, a camera does not always photograph the region pointed at by a pointing device. SOLUTION: The user interaction system has a portable pointing device 101 to which a camera 102 to send an image to a digital signal processor is connected and beacons 180, 181.... When a camera recognizes the light or electromagnetic waves emitted by the beacon, the digital signal processor recognizes where a user 100 is pointing at by the pointing device 101, based on the image taken by the camera.
