A terminal identification of the second device (2) that constitutes a remote control device to be operated and is required for the third device (3) to start data communication (21) with the second device (2) In response to an initial setting process for storing information (Ma) in advance and occurrence of short-range communication (30) with the third device (3), the terminal identification information (Ma) is stored in the third device ( 3), wherein the third device (3) receives the terminal identification information (Ma) and uses it to start the data communication (21).

  According to the present invention, the two-party communication start method starts communication between two parties including a device to be remotely operated by the remote control device, and can use an infrared remote control device that is not opposed to the device. can do.

It is an example of the block diagram of the remote control device system of embodiment.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

  FIG. 1 is an example of a configuration diagram of a remote control device system according to an embodiment. For example, the remote operation device system includes (a) the Internet 10, the remote operation device 1, the electronic device 2, the mobile terminal 3, and the payment server 4, and the electronic device 2 and the payment server 4 are connected to a communication network formed by the Internet 10. Are connected, the remote control device 1 constitutes an infrared remote control device, the electronic device 2 is remotely controlled by a one-way infrared signal 20 to be transmitted, and the portable terminal 3 records payment for credit card information, electronic money information, etc. Configure the medium.

  Further, as (b) processing, in response to the NFC pairing unit of the portable terminal 3 being held over the NFC pairing unit of the remote control device 1, NFC pairing 30 for performing short-distance communication is performed. The device 1 transmits the MAC address Ma of the electronic device 2 to the mobile terminal 3 via the NFC pairing 30 (step S01), and the mobile terminal 3 and the electronic device 2 corresponding to the MAC address Ma and Bluetooth (registered trademark), etc. The wireless communication 21 is started (step S02), and payment data is transmitted / received between the mobile terminal 3 and the payment server 4 via the wireless communication 21, the electronic device 2, and the Internet 10, and a payment process is performed.

  Devices such as the remote control device 1, the electronic device 2, the portable terminal 3, and the settlement server 4 include a computer unit having a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM. Furthermore, the remote operation device 1 includes an infrared signal transmission unit, an NFC pairing unit, an operation button unit, and the like. The electronic device 2 includes an infrared signal reception unit, a wireless communication unit, a network communication unit, and the like. , A storage device, a wireless communication unit, an NFC pairing unit, and the like, and the settlement server 4 includes a storage device, a network communication unit, and the like. The remote operation device 1 may be configured to perform remote operation of the electronic device 2 by bidirectional wireless. Examples of the remote operation device 1 and the electronic device 2 include a remote control device and a television, a mouse and a computer.

  In the above-described embodiment, both the remote operation device 1 and the electronic device 2 are provided with a USB terminal or the like, and when the both are connected, the electronic device 2 stores the MAC address Ma in the remote operation device 1. Is provided. The remote operation device 1 may be configured to include an initial setting unit that stores the MAC address Ma by a user's button operation or when the electronic device 2 is manufactured.
