Description

The present invention relates to an electronic device setting method for performing detailed settings of so-called electronic devices such as digital cameras and PDAs using a setting sheet.

  A server, printer, reader, and various electronic devices (for example, a video recorder, air conditioner, hot water supply, fluorescent lamp, etc.) are connected to the home network. After making an inquiry to the server, the electronic device setting sheet is printed on the printer. The user describes the setting items of the setting sheet, transmits the image data read by the reading device to the server, converts the image data received by the server into a control signal inside the server, and transmits it to the electronic device. An electronic device control method for setting is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  However, a specific method for reading the setting sheet is not described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, but is simply described as “reading image data”, and the part input by the user due to the difference in the number of dots of the image before and after reading. It is only reading.

In addition, in a method of setting an electronic device connected by wire or wireless using a setting information sheet, a setting information sheet before the user adds, and a setting information sheet read by the optical reading unit after the user adds Is known to extract setting information (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
