The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for adapting a remote controller to intelligent electronic equipment. The method for adapting an infrared remote controller to intelligent electronic equipment comprises: starting an application program on intelligent electronic equipment, and displaying the interface of the application program, wherein the interface comprises a key to be adapted; selecting the key to be adapted in the interface, and acquiring the remote control code corresponding to the selected key, wherein the remote control code is acquired by analyzing a remote controller signal, and the remote control signal is generated by pressing the key on the remote controller; and according to the function of the selected key and the remote control code, generating a remote controller mapping file, wherein the remote controller mapping file records the mapping relationship between the remote control code and the function. With the method of the present invention, the intelligent electronic equipment can be controlled by the non-standard remote controllers of other electronic equipment.
