Remote controlling apparatus, reception apparatus, and remote control method
First Claim
1. A remote control apparatus which radio transmits a control command from a remote controller to a reception apparatus connected to an electronic device which is an apparatus under control,wherein the reception apparatus stores a first identification information which represents a destination remote controller,wherein when the remote controller issues a pairing start command to start a pairing operation, the remote control apparatus transmits a pairing request containing second identification information identifying the remote controller itself,wherein the remote controller inserts a category code which represents a category of a designation electronic device into the pairing request, the category code being other than information identifying the electronic device itself and other than the second identification information,wherein the reception apparatus stores third identification information identifying the reception apparatus itself, the third identification information being other than the category code,wherein the reception apparatus extracts the second identification information from the received pairing request and extracts the category code from the pairing request, and decides, during the pairing operation, that the remote controller is a pairing party by determining whether the received pairing request satisfies predetermined conditions, wherein the received pairing request satisfies the predetermined conditions when a determination is the first identification information matches the extracted second identification information and the extracted category code matches a category code stored at the reception apparatus representing a category of the electronic device, andwherein the reception apparatus transmits a pairing response containing the third identification information, the third identification information being retrieved at the reception apparatus, when a determination during the pairing operation is that the received pairing request satisfies the predetermined conditions.

Abstract
A remote control apparatus is disclosed, which radio transmits a control command from a remote controller to a reception apparatus connected to an electronic device which is an apparatus under control. The reception apparatus stores a first identification information which represents a destination remote controller. When the remote controller issues a pairing start command, the remote control apparatus transmits a pairing request containing second identification information of the remote controller itself. The reception apparatus extracts the second identification information from the received pairing request and decides that the remote controller is a pairing party if the first identification information matches the second identification information. The reception apparatus transmits a pairing response containing third identification information of the reception apparatus itself to the remote controller.

8. A reception apparatus which is connected with an electronic device as an apparatus under control and which is used for a remote control apparatus which radio transmits a control command from a remote controller,
wherein the reception apparatus stores first identification information which represents a destination remote controller, wherein when a pairing operation starts, the reception apparatus receives a pairing request from the remote controller, the pairing request containing second identification information identifying the remote controller itself and a category code which represents a category of a designation electronic device, the category code being other than information identifying the electronic device itself and other than the second identification information, wherein the reception apparatus stores third identification information identifying the reception apparatus itself, the third identification information being other than the category code, wherein the reception apparatus extracts the second identification information from the received pairing request and extracts the category code from the pairing request, and decides, during the pairing operation, that the remote controller is a pairing party by determining whether the received pairing request satisfies predetermined conditions, wherein the received pairing request satisfies the predetermined conditions when a determination is the first identification information matches the extracted second identification information and the extracted category code matches a category code stored at the reception apparatus representing a category of the electronic device, and wherein the reception apparatus transmits a pairing response to the remote controller, the pairing response containing the third identification information, the third identification information being retrieved at the reception apparatus, when a determination during the pairing operation is that the received pairing request satisfies the predetermined conditions.

14. A remote control method of radio transmitting a control command from a remote controller to a reception apparatus which is connected with an electronic device as an apparatus under control, comprising the steps of:
-
causing the reception apparatus to store first identification information which represents a destination remote controller; causing the remote controller to transmit a pairing request containing second identification information identifying the remote controller itself, when the remote controller issues a pairing start command to start a pairing operation; causing the remote controller to insert a category code which represents a category of a designation electronic device into the pairing request, the category code being other than information identifying the electronic device itself and other than the second identification information, wherein the reception apparatus stores third identification information identifying the reception apparatus itself, the third identification information being other than the category code; causing the reception apparatus to extract the second identification information from the received pairing request and extract the category code from the pairing request, and decide, during the pairing operation, that the remote controller is a pairing party by determining whether the received pairing request satisfies predetermined conditions, wherein the received pairing request satisfies the predetermined conditions when a determination is the first identification information matches the extracted second identification information and the extracted category code matches a category code stored at the reception apparatus representing a category of the electronic device; and causing the reception apparatus to transmit a pairing response to the remote controller, the pairing response containing the third identification information, the third identification information being retrieved at the reception apparatus, when a determination during the pairing operation is that the received pairing request satisfies the predetermined conditions. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
