Abstract

Une unité de commande d’afficheur fonctionnel d’un dispositif d’afficheur (2) reconnaît une fonction capable d’être commandée d’un dispositif de sortie vidéo et vocale connecté à un terminal d’entrée/sortie et reconnaît également une fonction commandable du dispositif d’afficheur (2). L’unité de commande d’afficheur fonctionnel affiche une image de fonction de commande (911) pour exprimer la fonction commandable d’un moyen de commande de traitement de dispositif d’afficheur capable de commander le dispositif de sortie vidéo et vocale et une fonction commandable du moyen de commande de traitement de dispositif d’afficheur incapable de commander le dispositif de sortie vidéo et vocale dans des formats d’affichage différents sur un moyen d’afficheur (204). Ainsi, même si la fonction capable d’être commandée du dispositif de sortie et la fonction commandable du dispositif d’afficheur (2) diffèrent en raison de la différence des fabricants du dispositif de sortie vidéo et vocal et du dispositif d’afficheur (2), un utilisateur peut reconnaître, à partir de la fonction capable d’être commandée du dispositif de sortie vidéo et vocale, la fonction commandable du dispositif d’afficheur (2) capable de commander le dispositif de sortie vidéo et vocale avant de commander le dispositif de sortie via le dispositif d’afficheur (2) au moyen d’une télécommande.
