Abstract

대화형 매체용 리모트 컨트롤(10)은 인쇄물(11) 및/또는 저장매체(13) 및/또는 데이터 버튼(12)를 포함한다. 리모트 컨트롤의 일실시예(100)는 책, 잡지 또는 카탈로그와 같은 인쇄물(101) 및 상기 인쇄물(101)에 부착된 1 또는 2 이상의 버튼(104)을 포함하여 사용자로 하여금 호스트 장치(120)에 의한 관련된 전자적 내용의 리모트 컨트롤 이용을 가능하게 해준다. 리모트 컨트롤의 다른 실시예(110)는 상기 리모트 컨트롤(110)의 버튼(114)과 연관된 전자적 내용으로 부호화된 저장매체(119)를 착탈식으로 보유할 수 있는 하우징(118)을 구비한다. 한편 리모트 컨트롤의 또다른 실시예(400)는 사용자가 호스트 장치(420)에 의하여 표시되는 데이터를 선택할 수 있게 해주는 적어도 하나 이상의 데이터 버튼(402)을 구비한다. 호스트 장치(420)의 자동기동 드라이버(436)는 주변장치(428, 432)로의 저장매체(428M, 432M)의 삽입을 검지하여 자동적으로 애플리케이션을 기동시킨다. 애플리케이션(437)은 리모트 컨트롤(400)으로부터 전송된 버튼 코드를 인터럽트하여 그 결과를 표시하거나 다른 이벤트를 개시한다.
