That is, the user can register the power on / off command OUT in the device operating device 100A by pressing the power on / off key 30b provided on the remote controller 30 while pressing the output setting switch unit 120a.

(3) Operation of Device Operation Device Next, the operation of the device operation device 100A will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the device operating device 100A.

  In step S <b> 1, the infrared receiving unit 200 a receives an infrared signal, converts the received infrared signal into an electrical signal, and inputs the electrical signal to the microprocessor 140. The microprocessor 140 temporarily stores the electric signal in the memory 150.

  In step S2, the microprocessor 140 checks whether or not the input setting switch unit 120b is on. If the input setting switch unit 120b is in the on state, the process proceeds to step S3. If the input setting switch unit 120b is in the off state, the process proceeds to step S5.

  In step S3, the microprocessor 140 confirms whether or not the input setting switch unit 120b is turned off. If the input setting switch unit 120b is turned off, the process proceeds to step S4. In step S4, the microprocessor 140 stores the electric signal stored in the memory 150 in the memory 150 as the power on / off command IN.

  In step S5, the microprocessor 140 checks whether or not the output setting switch unit 120a is on. If the output setting switch unit 120a is in the on state, the process proceeds to step S6. If the output setting switch unit 120a is in the off state, the process proceeds to step S8.

  In step S6, the microprocessor 140 checks whether or not the output setting switch unit 120a has been turned off. When the output setting switch unit 120a is turned off, the process proceeds to step S7. In step S7, the microprocessor 140 stores the electrical signal stored in the memory 150 in the memory 150 as the power on / off command OUT.

Therefore, according to the device operating device 100A according to the first embodiment, when the peripheral device 200 and the video display device 300 are operated, the convenience can be enhanced by further saving the user's trouble.

  In particular, the remote controller 20 for TV tuners generally has a channel selection operation key or the like. If the video display device 300 is turned on using the remote controller 20, the remote controller 30 is used. Since it is possible to perform channel selection operations and the like, there is no need to change the remote control.

  In the first embodiment, the device operating device 100A is configured separately from each of the peripheral device 200 and the video display device 300, and thus a highly versatile device operating device 100A can be provided.

This is different from the first embodiment. In addition, the device operating device 100D includes a plurality of output setting switches 120a and 120c in order to set a power on / off command OUT for a plurality of electronic devices.

  According to the fourth embodiment, since the power on / off operation of the peripheral device 200 is performed simultaneously with the operation of the plurality of electronic devices, the user can turn on / off the peripheral device 200 once. Multiple electronic devices can be operated only by turning off.
