Abstract

The invention concerns the use of directional waves, such as light or infrared waves, ultrasonic waves or high frequency radio waves, to provide for remote selection by a user of an electronic device among a number of devices present simultaneously and physically close or very close, by performing a simple movement pointing out the device to be selected with a usual small-sized device such as a remote control or a personal digital assistant (PDA).
