Mobile terminal capable of performing remote control of plurality of devices
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal comprising:
- a display;
a camera;
a reception unit to receive at least one device identification (ID) signal from at least one device or a transmission apparatus corresponding to the device;
a transmission unit; and
a controller configured to;
detect an ID signal of a remotely controllable device in the at least one received device ID signal;
extract control command information for remote control of the device based on the detected ID signal;
perform a control operation based on the extracted control command information, causing the display to display a remote control object for remote control of the device;
cause the transmission unit to transmit a remote control signal corresponding to an item selected from the remote control object;
when the mobile terminal is paired with the device, detect a pattern positioned at a central area of at least one infrared image, captured via the camera and including a plurality of patterns, as a representative pattern;
identify the paired device based on the detected representative pattern; and
perform a control operation, causing the display to display a remote control object for remote control of the paired device according to the identified paired device.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a mobile terminal which can perform remote control of a plurality of devices. A mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a display; a reception unit which receives at least one device identification signal from at least one device or at least one transmitter corresponding to the device; a control unit which performs control so as to detect, from the received at least one device identification signal, the identification signal of a device that can be remotely controlled, extract control command information for the remote control of the device on the basis of the detected identification signal, and display a remotely controlled object for the remote control of the device, on the basis of the extracted control command information; and a transmission unit which, when a predetermined item in the remotely controlled object is selected, transmits a remote control signal corresponding to the selected item.
