16. An information signal transmission system, comprising:
-
a network interface connected to a plurality of presentation devices and a plurality of reproduction devices through a network, wherein said information signal transmission system provides an information signal reproduced by one of the reproduction devices via one of the presentation devices;
a destination object detecting module for detecting a destination object by detecting identification data associated with a control request in conjunction with controlling one of the reproduction devices, wherein said identification data is used for identifying a destination object of said information signal;
a storage module for storing the identification data;
a determination module for determining the identification data detected by the destination object detecting module and the identification data stored by the storage module;
a control module for controlling output of the information signal, wherein the control module controls the storage module to store the identification data and to output the information signal via one of the presentation, wherein the identification data is detected by the destination object detecting component, wherein the control module outputs the information signal via the presentation device that matches the identification data, wherein the identification data include a remote control signal sent by a remote command device, and wherein one of the presentation devices feeds said received identification data to the destination object detecting module. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A method of transmitting an information signal, comprising:
-
connecting a plurality of presentation devices to a plurality of reproduction devices through a network, providing an information signal reproduced by one of said plurality of the plurality of reproduction devices via one of the plurality of said presentation devices;
detecting a destination object by detecting identification data associated with a control request in conjunction with controlling one of said reproduction devices, wherein said identification data is used to identify a destination object of said information signal;
storing the identification data;
determining the identification data detected by the destination object detecting step and the identification data stored in said storing step;
controlling output of the information signal, wherein the controlling step controls the storing step to store the identification data and to output the information signal via the presentation device related to a control request;
detecting the identification data;
wherein the controlling step outputs the information signal via the presentation device matched by the identification data, wherein the identification data includes a remote control signal sent by a remote command device. - View Dependent Claims (21)
