Abstract: A controller for a device transmitting commands across one or more communication channels. Each such channel may employ a separate medium, such as radio waves and infrared light. The controller may transmit two separate signals to a device, where one signal is sent via radio waves and the other by infrared light. One signal may correspond to a group identifier and the other to an operating command to be carried out by the device. The device may receive both signals and, if the device belongs to a group corresponding to the group identifier, it may execute the operating command. Alternatively, the group identifier may be replaced by a wake command and the device may execute the operating command only if the wake command is received.

Abstract: Ein an einer Drucktaste (4) einschaltbarer und in der Hand (2) eines Benutzers gehaltener Fernbedienungsgeber (3) der Fernbedienungseinrichtung eines elektrischen Gerätes (1) erzeugt Abstrahlungsfelder (5, 6) unterschiedlich gekenn­zeichneter Trägerwellen (7, 8) unterschiedlicher Richtung. Die Empfangsfeldstärke der an einem Empfangselement (14) der Fernbedienungseinrichtung empfangenen Trägerwellen (7, 8) werden gemessen und daraus in einem Richtungsde­tektor Steuersignale gebildet, die die Winkelablage (Alpha) der Zeigerrichtung (9) des Fernbedienungsgebers (3) von einer Richtung (13) auf ein visuell sichtbares Markierungselement (12) kennzeichnen und damit über einen Befehlswähler Bedienungsbefehle zur Steuerung des elek­trischen Gerätes (1) aus einem Befehlsspeicher abzurufen. Auf diese Weise kann ein elektrisches Gerät durch bestimm­te Verschwenkungen eines auf das elektrische Gerät ge­richteten Fernbedienungsgebers aus dem Handgelenk heraus, ohne Beobachten des Fernbedienungsgebers, ausschließlich unter Beobachten des fernbedienbaren elektrischen Gerätes oder eines Displays (11) dieses Gerätes mit einer großen Bedienungsvielfalt ferngesteuert werden.

Abstract: The communication device can easily serve as an extended user interface such as a remote controller of a target apparatus without causing any complicated operations to a user. The communication device includes the following units. An apparatus information obtainment unit (203) obtains apparatus information from an apparatus. A position information obtainment unit (206) obtains position information of the communication device (102). An operation information obtainment unit (212) obtains operation information based on the apparatus information. A storage unit (213) stores the position information as apparatus position information indicating as a position of the apparatus, in association with the operation information. A direction sensor unit (207) detects direction of the communication device (102). A directional space calculation unit (208) calculates a directional space of the communication device (102). A selection unit (209a) specifies the apparatus existing in the directional space based on the apparatus position information and selects the operation information associated with the specified apparatus. An operation information transmission unit (215) transmits, based on the selected operation information, a control signal to the specified apparatus so as to allow the communication device to operate the apparatus.
