Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an adaptor for making an existing apparatus become an object of a control by a remote control device capable of controlling a plurality of apparatus. SOLUTION: A remote control adaptor 200 includes a receiving circuit 410 to receive an input of a signal from outside, a flash memory 430, a control circuit 420 to generate the signal transmitted to the remote control device based on the received signal and a data stored in the flash memory 430, a transmission circuit 440 to transmit the generated signal, and a battery 450. The control circuit 420 includes a receiving signal processing circuit 422 to acquire an information included in the signal from the receiving circuit 410 and an optical ID signal generating circuit 424 to generate an identification information based on the acquired information and the data stored in the flash memory 430.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily and accurately indicate and remote-control an object under control in a simple operation, without mistake. SOLUTION: Electric products such as refrigerator 8, TV set 9, air conditioner 10 and illumination light 10 are installed in a room with a video camera 1 set to find them within its view field. When a user generates a visible laser beam 5 from a remote controller 4 to point a specified electric product with a pointer 7 at a beam angle within a controlled object area 6 including these electric products, the video camera 1 for extracting only wavelengths of the visible laser beam 5 takes an image of the pointer 7, a control box 3 detects the location of the pointer 7 within the controlled object area 6 from the output of the camera 1, thereby detecting the electric product pointed by the pointer 7, and the remote controller 4 is operated to remote-control the detected electric product.
