Remote control apparatus and portable communication terminal
First Claim
1. A remote control apparatus, comprising:
- a first detector for detecting an electronic appliance having a wireless tag by communication with said wireless tag;
a creator for creating a control signal adapting to the electronic appliance detected by said first detector;
a first transmitter for repeatedly transmitting a control signal created by said creator to a processor of said electronic appliance detected by said first detector;
a second detector for detecting an electronic appliance responding to the control signal transmitted by said first transmitter; and
a display for displaying an operation screen to remotely control the electronic appliance detected by said second detector.

Abstract
A portable communication terminal having a remote control apparatus includes a CPU. The CPU detects electronic appliances around there by a wireless tag reader, displays a plurality of characters respectively corresponding to the detected plurality of appliances on a monitor, transmits test signals to these appliances, and changes a manner of the character of the appliance except for the appliance which responds, that is, the appliance which is in an off-state. Furthermore, the CPU detects identification information of a base station which is able to communicate with the terminal, registers the identification information detected under a desired location condition in the register, and determines whether or not a match condition is satisfied between detected identification information and the identification information which has been registered. Then, if the determination result is affirmative, the electronic appliance around there is detected by the wireless tag reader, and an operation screen for remotely controlling the detected appliance on a monitor is displayed.
