A remote control device capable of controlling devices in an expanded range is provided. Processing executed by a remote control includes the steps of transmitting a control signal to an HDD recorder, transmitting a communications request to a remote control connected over the Internet based on a reply received from the HDD recorder, and executing an IP telephone session to/from the remote control. The IP telephone session includes the steps of transmitting control information for controlling an operation of the HDD recorder based on a reply provided from the remote control, receiving a reply of a result of determination about control information from the remote control, and transmitting a request for the control to the remote control based on the reply.

There is provided a remote controller capable of swiftly confirming safety of a resident without making the resident aware of being monitored by a third party, and making it difficult for an unspecified third party to know privacy of the resident. The remote controller includes an operation unit receiving an input of an instruction to an apparatus, a first and a second communications unit transmitting a signal, a storage unit storing history information including the time when the signal was transmitted and the instruction indicated by the signal, and a control unit. The control unit generates the signal indicating the instruction, detects the time, and determines whether to transmit at least a portion of the history information. When the transmission is determined, the control unit reads the portion of the history information from the storage unit, and controls the second communications unit to transmit the read information.

A television capable of reporting a history of operation by an operator of an appliance is provided. The television is connected to an antenna. The television has main components including an external input unit, a light receiving unit, a user's operation unit, a CPU controlling operation of the television, a tuner, a switch circuit, and a communication IF capable of communicating information via the Internet. The CPU generates information about a user's operation history based on a control signal for an appliance that is received by the light receiving unit, and transmits the information to another information communication apparatus via the communication IF.

A communication terminal includes a base station antenna and the like, a measurement unit, a key operation unit, a memory, and a transmission control unit. The measurement unit acquires element information from a radio wave. A message is entered at the key operation unit. A plurality of types of element information from transmission sources different from each other and the message are stored in correspondence in the memory. The transmission control unit controls the base station antenna and the like such that a message is transmitted when the combination of the received element information corresponds to the combination of element information stored in the memory.

A television set allowing a small amount of information to be processed to authenticate at least a portion of a face with high precision, is configured as follows: The television set includes a memory, a camera and a CPU. The memory stores feature information in association with a position. The CPU detects the position of the facial portion of a person in an image. The CPU extracts feature information based on the image. The CPU collates the feature information extracted thereby with that of the feature information stored in the memory which corresponds to the position detected thereby. The CPU selects a channel corresponding to a result of the collation. The television set further includes a tuner and a display. The tuner extracts a broadcast signal of the channel selected by the CPU. The display displays a video image corresponding to the signal extracted by the tuner.

An image display system allowing a plurality of users to enjoy viewing programs is provided. The image display system includes a plurality of television sets connected to the Internet, and an IP telephone management server. The IP telephone management server has a friend list as data including information about television sets allowing communications via IP telephones in a memory. The friend list includes identification numbers of the television sets connected to the IP telephone management server, IP addresses of the television sets and numbers of channels selected in the television sets. Information (e.g., the number of the selected channel and the user of the television set) representing images displayed on each television is transmitted as a viewing history to the IP telephone management server to prepare or update data items in the friend list.
