Remote controller and remote control method
First Claim
1. A remote controller with a plurality of keys arranged, which remotely controls, upon manipulations of the keys, control-target equipment by transmitting a remote control signal allocated to each of the keys, the remote controller comprising:
- a storing section which stores information of a plurality pieces of control-target equipment;
an equipment selection operating section which selects control-target equipment to be operated under a remote control from the plurality pieces of control-target equipment information of which is stored in the storing section;
a control unit that generates, in a case of an manipulation of the equipment selection operating section, a remote control signal to power on the control-target equipment selected by the manipulation, and generates a remote control signal to power off the other control-target equipment information of which is stored in the storing section than the selected control-target equipment; and
a transmitter for transmitting the remote control signal generated by the control unit.

Abstract
A remote controller with a plurality of keys arranged, which remotely controls, upon manipulations of the keys, control-target equipment by transmitting a remote control signal allocated to each of the keys. The remote controller includes a storing section which stores information of a plurality pieces of control-target equipment; an equipment selection operating section which selects control-target equipment to be operated under a remote control from the plurality pieces of control-target equipment whose information is stored in the storing section; a control unit that generates, in a case of manipulation of the equipment selection operating section, a remote control signal to power on the selected control-target equipment, and generates a remote control signal to power off the other control-target equipment information of which is stored in the storing section, except for the selected control-target equipment; and a transmitter for transmitting the remote control signal generated by the control unit.

5. A remote control method for remotely controlling, in a case of manipulations of a plurality of arranged keys, control-target equipment by transmitting a remote control signal allocated to each of the keys, the method comprising the steps of:
-
storing information of a plurality pieces of control-target equipment;
deciding an equipment selecting operation to select a piece of control-target equipment to be operated under a remote control from the plurality pieces of control-target equipment information of which are stored in the step of storing information;
generating a remote control signal to power on the control-target equipment selected by the step of deciding an equipment selecting operation, and generating a remote control signal to power off the other control-target equipment information of which is stored than the selected control-target equipment; and
transmitting the remote control signal generated by the step of generating a remote control signal.
