PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily control an electric device.SOLUTION: A mobile phone terminal (remote operation device) 100 comprises: a display part 32b; an operation detecting part 32a; a reading part 34 which reads information from an electric device for remotely controlling the electric device; a control part 22 which displays a control screen for remotely controlling the electric device on the display part 32b based on the information read by the reading part 34; and a code transmission part 36 which transmits a control code acquired based on the information read by the reading part 34 to the electric device according to the operation detected by the operation detecting part 32a when the control screen is displayed on the display part 32b.
Abstract:
A hand-held electronic device (1150) having a remote control application user interface that functions to display operational mode information to a user. The graphical user interface may be used, for example, to adjust the behavior of the readable media to more closely match the region in which it is operated, to setup the remote control application to control appliances for one or more users in one or more rooms, to perform activities, and to access favourites. The remote control application is also adapted to be upgradeable. Furthermore, the remote control application provides for the sharing of operational mode information.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a program utilization system making a program prepared for a device in a specific use environment, usable as a program for a device in another use environment, and a program utilization method and a program. SOLUTION: In regard to an existing macro for controlling one or more first devices 2a, device specification information for specifying each device in the first devices in the macro is converted into category specification information for specifying the category of each device based on device information on each device, and the converted existing macro is recorded. A macro available for controlling one or more second devices 2b is selected out of recorded existing macros based on device information on a control device 1b and the first and second devices. In regard to the selected macro, category specification information in the macro is converted into device specification information for specifying each device in the second devices belonging to the category specified by the category specification information based on the device information on the control device and the first and second devices.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a general-purpose remote control method having an improved user interface which simplifies an operation of general-purpose remote control and a remote operation of household equipments in a strict meaning. SOLUTION: A readable medium has a command for displaying informations to a plurality of users of a hand-held equipment 1150, and steps executed by the command include the followings. That is, the steps comprise a step by which each user defines a list of their favorite channels and a step which receives an input for identifying the users of the hand-held equipment 1150, responds to it and displays the list corresponding to the favorite channels to the users. The users interact with the list by executing the steps, and the readable medium is provided to the hand-held equipment for transmitting command codes to the household equipments for the purpose of tuning the household equipments 1120, 1122 and 1124 to a channel expressed in the list of the favorite channels.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a remote controller which is flexibly programmable and available for remote-controlling various remote-controllable devices. SOLUTION: The remote controller generates a remote control configuration data request message and transmits the message to a remote controller configuration data generator unit. The remote controller configuration data generating unit which receives the request message generates at least one configuration data item and redirects it to the remote controller as a remote controller configuration data response message. The remote controller which receives the response message determines at least one configuration data item from the remote controller configuration data response message, stores the data in a memory and performs setting on the basis of the at least one configuration data item.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control method and a control device for controlling multiple home devices by means of a single controller. SOLUTION: This method is constructed of a step in which a home server managing home devices on a network detects a home device, a step in which a control pulse code for the home device is transmitted from a service provider about the home device to the home server, a step in which the home server generates a key mapping table from the control pulse code, and a step in which the home server transfers the key mapping table to a single controller controlling the home devices on the home network. In this way, the multiple home devices can be conveniently controlled by a single controller on the home network system. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
