Problems solved by technology

In addition, every time electric current is supplied to the device, in order to use the device in a normal use state, the user is forced to cancel the in-store support mode, thereby deteriorating the realization performance of the device's own functions
[0012] In addition, the second system is laborious on the retail store side because even if it is admitted that the problem on the user's side can be solved, the retail store side has to learn the method for starting the specified operation of the in-store support mode
In this case, the method for specifying the operation is different for different kinds of devices, so the retail store side may not be able to grasp the operation for starting the in-store support mode for all types of devices to be displayed
The result is that the in-store support functions that this electronic device has can not be effectively used, because the correct method for initiating these functions may not always be clear
[0013] Therefore, it is difficult to initiate an in-store support model with conventional systems to find the optimal trade-off between ease of use on the retail store side and general user side

Embodiment Construction

[0031] An electronic equipment system according to the present invention will now be described, applying the system to an in-store support system as an example.

[0032] The in-store support system 1 according to the present invention is at least made up of an electronic device 20 and an in-store support remote control 10, such as figure 1 shown.

[0033] The electronic equipment 20 forming the in-store support system 1 according to the present invention may be, for example, an audio equipment using a CD (Compact Disc), an MD (Mini Disc as a Magneto-Optical Disk) or a cassette tape as a recording medium, and an audio equipment using a DVD (Digital Multiplex). A video device for recording and / or reproducing information signals, such as discs) or video tapes. The electronic device 20 may include video and audio devices combined together to form an overall AV (Audio / Visual) system device.

[0034] The electronic device 20 used in the in-store support system 1 of the present inv...

Abstract

The present invention is relative to an electronic apparatus system including one or more electronic apparatus and an inputting device. A preset sequence of operations, pertaining to the mode of commercial demonstration, is carried out on the electronic apparatus ( 20 ), in response only to a preset command transmitted by the inputting device ( 10 ). Even if there are provided a plural number of the electronic apparatus ( 20 ) in the system, the operation for booting the mode of commercial demonstration for these plural electronic apparatus ( 20 ) may be carried out with the sole inputting device ( 10 ). This inputting device ( 10 ) is to be supplied only to an entity undertaking the commercial demonstration, such as a retail store. This disables the inputting device ( 10 ) to be used by the users at large so that the mode of commercial demonstration cannot be booted during use of the electronic apparatus by the users at large.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electronic device system comprising one or more electronic devices capable of performing an operation such as a demonstration operation as a function supporting in-store commercial display or demonstration, and to an input device for performing operations related to the supporting function. [0002] The present invention contains subject matter related to Japanese Patent Application JP 2003-094490 filed in the Japan Patent Office on Mar. 31, 2003, the entire content of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Background technique [0003] In certain types of conventional electronic equipment such as AV (Audio-Visual) equipment, an in-store support mode is pre-installed for performing commercial demonstrations such as in-store demonstrations related to the functionality of the equipment during commercial demonstrations in retail stores . [0004] As an example of an in-store support mode, a light mounted on an exte...
