Remote control for an audio signal playback system
First Claim
1. A remote control device (3) for remotely controlling a playback device (2), which playback device (2) is designed for the acoustic playback of audio signals, and which playback device (2) is designed to receive, in a wireless manner, volume-influencing signals (6) emitted by the remote control device (3), and to control the volume of the playback of the audio signals in accordance with the received volume-influencing signals (6), wherein the remote control device (3) comprises a detector (7) for detecting mobile-phone radio signals (5) that can be generated with a mobile phone (4), and wherein, on detecting the mobile-phone radio signals (5), the remote control device (3) is designed to emit to the playback device (2), in a wireless manner, a volume-influencing signal (6) with which the volume of the playback of the audio signals by the playback device (2) can be influenced.
