Abstract

An infrared control system includes one or more target terminal assemblies, a control device, and an infrared controller which creates a coupling between a terminal assembly and the control device. The terminal assembly includes a plurality of terminals which recognize infrared signals. The control device includes a setting module used to set parameters of each terminal assembly. The parameters include an Identification of Position (IP) of a working terminal in a predetermined time. The infrared controller can open a particular terminal according to the parameters which are set. The disclosure further provides an infrared control method.
