Control device and control method with corresponding arrangement of image regions
First Claim
1. A control device comprising:
- a reception section for receiving a control signal from a transmission section which transmits, based on activation of N sensing portions (where N is an integer equal to or greater than two) placed in a predetermined arrangement, the control signal for giving an instruction to an apparatus to be controlled; and
a control section for assigning, to the N or less control signals, instructions to be executed when the control signals are received, and generating a signal for drawing on a display device an operation menu which includes N image regions placed in an arrangement corresponding to the N sensing portions of the transmission section, each image region representing an instruction assigned to a control signal which is transmitted when the corresponding sensing portion is pressed, the control section standing by to receive a control signal transmitted from the transmission section.

Abstract
A control device includes a control section standing by to receive a control signal transmitted from a transmission section. The control section assigns, respectively to N or less control signals, instructions to be executed when the control signals are received, and generates a signal for drawing on a display device an operation menu which includes N image regions placed in an arrangement corresponding to the N sensing portions of the transmission section. Each image region represents an instruction assigned to a control signal which is transmitted when the corresponding sensing portion is pressed, such that the N instructions to be respectively assigned to the control signals are determined based on an operation state of an apparatus to be controlled in the standby state and the operation menu generated in an immediately previous standby state.

21. A control method for transmitting, based on activation of N sensing portions (where N is an integer equal to or greater than two) placed in a predetermined arrangement, a control signal for giving an instruction to an apparatus to be controlled, and controlling the apparatus with the control signal, comprising:
-
a step of assigning, to the N or less control signals, instructions to be executed when the control signals are received; and a step of generating a signal for drawing on a display device an operation menu which includes N image regions placed in an arrangement corresponding to the N sensing portions of the transmission section, each image region representing an instruction assigned to a control signal which is transmitted when the corresponding sensing portion is pressed. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
