    Abstract: A control apparatus controls consumer equipment provided in a power consumer facility. The control apparatus comprises a controller configured to transmit, information indicating an operatable function capable of being operated by an operation apparatus operating the consumer equipment among a plurality of functions of the consumer equipment, to the operation apparatus, when the control apparatus is connected to the operation apparatus via a first network provided in the consumer facility. The controller is further configured to transmit a request message for requesting execution of a function designated from the operatable function to the consumer facility, when the control apparatus receives an operation instruction of the designated function of the operatable function from the operation apparatus. The controller is further configured to select the operatable function among the plurality of functions according to whether the operation apparatus is located outside the consumer facility.

    Abstract: An information transmission system includes a mobile device, a signal transmission line and an internet device with networking capabilities. The mobile device includes a user interface, an encoder, a modulator and an audio connector. The user interface receives network setting information, and the encoder is coupled to the user interface to encodes the network setting information into information codes. The modulator is coupled to the encoder to modulate the information codes to form an audio signal embedded with the information codes. The audio connector is coupled to the modulator, and the signal transmission line is connected to the audio connector of the mobile device to transmit the audio signal embedded with the information codes. The internet device is connected to the signal transmission line, receives the audio signal with the embedded information codes, and decodes the information codes into the network setting information.
