Abstract
Description
この課題の解決手段としては次のように記載されている。「このシステムは、複数の電気機器と、電気機器のコマンド情報を一括管理している管理サーバと、1つのリモコンとから構成される。リモコンは方向検出装置を備え、リモコンの先端部を向けた任意の方向と各電気機器とを対応させた機器選択テーブルを、管理サーバに登録しておく。ユーザがリモコンを所定の方向に向けると、方向検出装置がリモコンの方向を検出し、操作する電気機器が機器選択テーブルにしたがって選択される。」
しかし、特許文献1においては、テレビは「方位45度」、DVDレコーダは「方位135度」、エアコンは「方位225度」のように実際のリモコンの位置に関係なく、リモコンの電気機器に対する方位が1対1で定義される。このため、ある特定のリモコンの位置においてのみ前記方位の定義が有効であって、リモコンを移動すると定義が無効になるという不便があり、さらに使い勝手を改善することが期待される。
上記した以外の課題、構成及び効果は、以下の実施形態の説明により明らかにされる。
これらのアイコンに触れることにより、ユーザは所望の電気機器3のリモコンアプリを起動し、所望の電気機器3をリモート制御することができる。
