Embodiment Construction

[0037] Figure 1 shows a control device 100 according to the invention, which is used as an interface between a user 101 and a target device 103, 105, 107, 109, in order to remotely control the target device 103, 105, 107 according to input from the user 101 and 109. This is done by using a transmitter 102, such as an infrared transmitter, included in the control device 100, for sending direct signals to Target devices 103, 105, 107, 109 transmit infrared control signals. In one embodiment, the input from the user 101 comprises a voice signal containing information identifying at least one target device and an operation to be performed on the at least one target device. The speech signal may be analyzed using a semantic analysis based dialogue system (not shown). At least part of the results produced by this semantic analysis are converted into infrared signals and transmitted via infrared transmitter 102 to target devices 103 , 105 , 107 , 109 . This user input may eg compr...

Abstract

This invention relates to a method of remotely controlling target devices via an interface device, based on an input from a user comprising information identifying at least one target device and an action to be performed on said at least one target device, wherein the interface device is adapted for directly transmitting a control signal based on said input in a direction towards said least one of said target device, wherein the transmission direction is controllable using setup data stored at said interface device, wherein the setup data is obtained during setup phase of the interface device and comprises: identification data for uniquely identifying said target devices, and direction data associated to each of said identification data for identifying said transmission direction, wherein based on the user's input to perform said action on said at least one target device, using the direction data associated to the identification data of said at least one target device for controlling the transmission direction towards said at least one target device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of remotely controlling a target device via an interface device based on user input comprising information identifying at least one target device and an operation to be performed on said at least one target device, wherein the interface device is adapted to A control signal is transmitted directly in a direction towards said at least one said target device depending on said input, wherein the transmission direction can be controlled using setting data stored in said interface device. Background technique [0002] Most consumer electronic devices are controlled by infrared signals and dedicated remote controls. Because each setting has its own remote control, the number of controls required is inconveniently high for a standard living room. In order to curb the development of this situation, so-called "universal remote controls" have been developed, which are able to manipulate command sets for several devices....
