1. An information signal transmission system, comprising:
- a network interface connected to a plurality of presentation devices and a reproduction device through a network,wherein said information signal transmission system provides an information signal reproduced by the reproduction device via one of the presentation devices, andwherein each of the plurality of presentation devices comprises a remote control receiver,wherein said remote control receiver is operable to receive a remote control signal sent by a remote control device,wherein the remote control signal comprises identification data;
a destination object detecting module for detecting a destination object by detecting the identification data associated with a control request in conjunction with controlling the reproduction device,wherein said identification data is used for identifying a destination object of said information signal;
a storage module for storing the identification data;
a determination module for determining the identification data detected by the destination object detecting module and the identification data stored by the storage module;
a control module for controlling output of the information signal via one of the plurality of presentation devices as a function of the identification data,wherein, when the identification data of the remote control signal is detected and a different destination object is identified, reproduction of the reproduction device is suspended, the output of the information signal is switched to a second of the plurality of presentation devices, and suspension of the corresponding reproduction device is released.

5. A method of transmitting an information signal, comprising:
-
connecting a plurality of presentation devices to a reproduction device through a network, and wherein each of the plurality of presentation devices comprises a remote control receiver, wherein said remote control receiver is operable to receive a remote control signal sent by a remote control device, wherein the remote control signal comprises identification data, providing an information signal reproduced by the reproduction device via one of the plurality of said presentation devices; detecting a destination object by detecting the identification data associated with a control request in conjunction with controlling said reproduction device, wherein said identification data is used to identify a destination object of said information signal; storing the identification data; determining the identification data detected by the destination object detecting step and the identification data stored in said storing step; controlling output of the information signal, wherein the controlling step controls the storing step to store the identification data and to output the information signal via the presentation device related to a control request; detecting the identification data; wherein the controlling step outputs the information signal via the presentation device as a function of the identification data, wherein, when the identification data of the remote control signal is detected and a different destination object is identified, reproduction of the reproduction device is suspended, the output of the information signal is switched to a second of the plurality of presentation devices, and suspension of the corresponding reproduction device is released. - View Dependent Claims (6)
