1. A remote control device, comprising:
- a wireless power transmitter operable to transmit a wireless energy burst having a wireless magnetic resonating power coupling characteristic;
a processor and control element; and
a user interface having a power ON activation element;
wherein in response to activation of the power ON activation element of the user interface, the processor and control element controls the wireless power transmitter to transmit the wireless energy burst having the wireless magnetic resonating power coupling characteristic.

Abstract
Power consumption of an appliance under remote control is minimized. The appliance receives a wireless energy burst having a wireless magnetic resonating power coupling characteristic transmitted by a remote control device. The appliance is powered up from a powered-down state to a standby mode if the appliance is in the powered-down state when the wireless energy burst is received and the energy burst is of sufficient energy to activate a switched mode power supply of the appliance.
