Abstract

A wireless control system includes a first wireless electronic apparatus and a second wireless electronic apparatus. The first wireless electronic apparatus executes a search function to obtain a second apparatus identification message of the second wireless electronic apparatus, and confirms whether the second wireless electronic apparatus is connectable according to the second apparatus identification message. When the second wireless electronic apparatus is connectable, the first wireless electronic apparatus wirelessly connects to the second wireless electronic apparatus, and receives an input event from a second input interface of the second wireless apparatus. Then, the first wireless electronic apparatus executes the input event according to a first operating table, which defines the correspondence relationship between a first input interface of the first wireless electronic apparatus and the second input interface.
