communication device

Abstract

A communication device that can easily correspond to an extended user interface such as a remote controller without complicated operations includes: a device information acquisition unit (203) that acquires device information from a device; a location information acquisition unit (206) that acquires The operation information acquisition unit (212) acquires the operation information based on the equipment information; the storage unit (213) stores the position information as equipment position information indicating the position of the above-mentioned equipment in association with the operation information; the direction sensing unit (207), sensing the direction information of the communication device (102); the pointing space calculation part (208), based on the position information and direction information, calculating the pointing space of the communication device (102); the selection part (209a), determining according to the device position information A device present in the pointing space selects operation information corresponding to the determined device; and an operation information transmitting unit (215) transmits a control signal for operating the device based on the selected operation information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a communication device, and relates to a communication device for providing an extended user interface of a home appliance by using short-distance wireless communication. Background technique [0002] Disclosed is a communication device capable of serving as a remote controller (remote controller) of the device by reading device information from an IC tag of the device using short-range wireless communication and registering operation information corresponding to the read device information use (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). This communication device has an operation unit that can be used as a remote controller for remotely controlling a predetermined controlled device, has an IC tag reading unit that reads device information associated with the controlled device from an IC tag, and stores the device information in association with it. Registering the device information read by the IC tag reading unit with ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

That is, when selecting a controlled device, it is necessary to perform multiple operations on the communication device so that it functions as a remote controller of the controlled device, which has the problem of complicated operations.

[0014] In addition, in the structure of the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, it is necessary to prepare an operation table corresponding to the electronic device to be operated.

That is, there is a problem that whenever the number of electronic devices that the user wants to control increases, it is necessary to prepare an operation table corresponding to the electronic device.

Furthermore, in the case of operating a plurality of controlled devices, there is no disclosure or hint about the method of logging in the operator's selection object and the command for the device corresponding to the selection object.
