ABSTRACT:
A device for remotely controlling a computer system operable in a graphic user interface environment. The remote control device comprises a micro-computer for converting a remote control signal transmitted from a remote control transmitter into a combined key signal and controlling the operation of the computer system in response to input data and command, a device driver for instructing an operation based on the combined key signal from the micro-computer and applying data and a command to the micro-computer if the combined key signal indicates the operation of the micro-computer, and a user interface software for performing bidirectional communication with the device driver and driving an application software corresponding to the combined key signal from the micro-computer to perform the operation based on the combined key signal. According to the present invention, a remote control function can always be stably performed, and can cope flexibly with variations in hardware and software environments. Further, the user can freely select a key signal combination to prevent a conflict with an application software.
