Method of activating a remotely controllable device
First Claim
1. A system for remote control of a controllable device, the system comprising a remote control (101) unit with a means (103) for communicating at least one command produced by the remote control unit to the controllable device (102), the remote control unit (101) comprising at least one detector (104) for sensing the picking up of said remote control unit (101) or the proximity of a user, the system being characterized in that the remote control unit (101) is arranged to communicate an activating command (105) to the controllable device (102) upon obtaining an output from the detector (104) for sensing the picking up of said remote control unit or the proximity of a user.

Abstract
The invention relates to a system for remote control of a controllable device. The system comprises a remote control (101) unit with a means (103) for communicating at least one command produced by the remote control unit to the controllable device (102). The remote control unit (101) comprises at least one detector (104) for sensing the picking up of said remote control unit (101) or the proximity of a user. According to the invention, the remote control unit (101) is arranged to communicate an activating command (105) to the controllable device (102) upon obtaining an output from the detector (104) for sensing the picking up of said remote control unit or the proximity of a user. The system further comprises the controllable device (102) which is arranged to start booting upon receiving the activating command (105) from the remote control unit (101). The controllable device (102) may be a television set.
