Remote-controlled apparatus, a remote control system, and a remote-controlled image-processing apparatus
First Claim
1. A remote-controlled apparatus comprising:
- (A) a remote control receiver for receiving a remote control signal and converting the remote control signal into first remote control pulses;
(B) a voice-signal/remote-control-pulse converter for receiving a voice signal, selecting a control code corresponding to the voice signal, and converting the control code into second remote control pulses;
(C) a remote control pulse selector for selecting one of said first remote control pulses and said second remote control pulses according to a predetermined switching signal; and
(D) a remote-control-pulse processing section for decoding the remote control pulses selected by said remote control pulse selector into the control code and performing the control over operations according to the control code.

Abstract
A voice-signal/remote-control-pulse converter (30) receives a voice signal (S) by means of infrared rays (RV) from a remote control transmitter, and then performs voice recognition. An item of control information indicated by a recognized word (W) is converted into a control code (C) in the same format as that of a control code indicated by a remote control signal (RK). The control codes are entered into a remote control pulse selector (23) as respective remote control pulses P1 and P2 in the common format. The remote control pulse selector (23) enters exclusively one of the remote control pulses P1 and P2 into a remote control pulse decoder (24) in response to a remote-control-pulse switching signal (N).
