ABSTRACT:
A remote control system for controlling an electronic device includes a remote controller and a remote control interface. The remote controller includes a memory for storing a plurality of control data respectively indicating the relationship between a plurality of control signals and functions of the electronic device corresponding to the plurality of control signals; a trigger signal transmitter for transmitting a trigger signal for causing the electronic device to transmit a response signal which is specific to the type of the electronic device; a receiver for receiving the response signal; and a control signal transmitter for selecting control data specific to the type of the electronic device from the plurality of control data based on the response signal, generating one of the control signals, and transmitting the generated control signal. The remote control interface includes a receiver for receiving a signal transmitted from the remote controller; a signal generator for generating the response signal specific to the type of the electronic device; and a transmitter for, when the signal is a control signal, transmitting the control signal to the electronic device, and for, when the signal is a trigger signal demanding the response signal, transmitting the response signal to the remote controller.
