Unlike the conventional example, bind data, not commands, is added to operation buttons such as a power button, an input switching button, a wide button, a channel up button, a channel down button, a volume up button, and a volume down button. The bind data indicates a relation with the command in the command data downloaded from the network terminal. By referring to this data, the control terminal can assign a command corresponding to each operation button.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that there are two types of bind data. One is the standard semantic code,
One is a manufacturer-defined code. The meaning code is a code indicating the function of a button such as a power supply, and needs to be standardized among a plurality of manufacturers. On the other hand, the maker definition code is a code defined for each maker, and can be used for a button having a function unique to the maker.

In the operation screen data 31, a power button, an input switching button, a channel up button, a channel down button, a volume up button, and a volume down button
It is assumed that a standardized standard meaning code is used as the bind data, and the bind data specifies a corresponding standard meaning code. In the case of the power button, 0x01 meaning a standardized power is used as the bind data.
