Abstract
A user interface system comprises a server having a scene description decoding device for decoding input scene description and an equipment control signal generating device for generating equipment control signals, a remote terminal having a scene description decoding device for decoding scene description sent form the server into decoded scenes and a display device for displaying the decoded scenes and a user input device for receiving user input according to this display, a display terminal for displaying decoded scenes from the server, and controlled equipment which is controlled by equipment control signals from the server. Thus, easy operation of the remote terminal is facilitated.
