1. A home electronics system, comprising:
- a control terminal device having a display function;
a home server connected to said control terminal device via a communication network; and
a target device connected to said home server for operating in response to a control signal;
said control terminal device including a retrieval condition transmitting unit for transmitting a retrieval condition for said target device, a display connected to said home server for displaying a state of said target device in response to data received from said home server, and a control signal transmitting unit for transmitting a control signal controlling said target device;
said home server including a state transmitting unit connected to said retrieval condition transmitting unit to create data indicating the state of said target device matching with said retrieval condition for transmitting to said control terminal device, and a device controlling unit connected to said control signal transmitting unit and said controlled device for controlling said target device in response to the control signal received from said control signal transmitting unit.

Abstract
A home electronics system enabling rapid execution of remote control of controlled devices includes a home server, a cellular phone connected to the home server via a public line network, and devices to be controlled controlled in response to a signal from the home server. When the user selects via cellular phone an area, a state or a type of the devices to, the home server creates an image of the current state information showing the state of the devices for transmitting to the cellular phone.
