Remote control system, receiving apparatus, and electronic device

A receiving apparatus of a remote control system, the receiving apparatus being connected to an electronic device as an apparatus under control, a control command being radio transmitted from a remote controller to the receiving apparatus, comprising:

• a radio communication section;
• a first storage section which stores identification information of the receiving apparatus;
• a second storage section which stores identification information of another pairing party;
• a time management section;
• and
• a control section,
• wherein the receiving apparatus causes the radio communication section to receive a pairing request containing identification information of the remote controller therefrom, and
• the receiving apparatus causes the time management section to set a limited time which starts after power of the receiving apparatus is turned on, if the receiving apparatus has received the pairing request within the limited time, the receiving apparatus stores the identification information of the remote controller as the identification information of the other pairing party to the second storage section, and causes the radio communication section to transmit a pairing request response containing the identification information of the receiving apparatus to the remote controller.

An electronic device as an apparatus under control having a receiving apparatus of a remote control system which transmits a control command from a remote controller to the receiving apparatus, comprising:

• a radio communication section;
• a first storage section which stores identification information of the receiving apparatus;
• a second storage section which stores identification information of another pairing party;
• a time management section;
• and
• a control section,
• wherein the receiving apparatus causes the radio communication section to receive a pairing request containing identification information of the remote controller therefrom, and
• the receiving apparatus causes time management section to set a limited time which starts after power of the receiving apparatus is turned on, if the receiving apparatus has received the pairing request within the limited time, the receiving apparatus stores the identification information of the remote controller as the identification information of the other pairing party to the second storage section, and causes the radio communication section to transmit a pairing request response containing the identification information of the receiving apparatus to the remote controller.

A remote control system which radio transmits a control command from a remote controller to a receiving apparatus connected to an electronic device as an apparatus under control,

• the remote controller comprising:
• a radio communication section;
• a first storage section which stores identification information of the remote controller;
• a second storage section which stores identification information of another pairing party;
• an operation key;
• and
• a control section,
• the receiving apparatus comprising:
• a radio communication section;
• a first storage section which stores identification information of the receiving apparatus;
• a second storage section which stores identification information of another pairing party;
• a time management section;
• and
• a control section,
• wherein the receiving apparatus causes the time management section to set a limited time which starts after power of the receiving apparatus is turned on and causes the radio communication section to broadcast a pairing request containing the identification information of the receiving apparatus,
• the remote controller which has received the pairing request stores the identification information of the receiving apparatus as the identification information of the other pairing party to the second storage section and causes the radio communication section to transmit a pairing request response containing the identification information of the remote controller to the receiving apparatus, and
• if the receiving apparatus has received the pairing request response within the limited time, the receiving apparatus stores the identification information of the remote controller as the identification information of the other pairing party to the second storage section.

A receiving apparatus of a remote control system, the receiving apparatus being connected to an electronic device as an apparatus under control, a control command being radio transmitted from a remote controller to the receiving apparatus, comprising:

• a radio communication section;
• a first storage section which stores identification information of the receiving apparatus;
• a second storage section which stores identification information of another pairing party;
• a time management section;
• and
• a control section,
• wherein the receiving apparatus causes the time management section to set a limited time that start after power of the receiving apparatus is turned on and causes the radio communication section to broadcast a pairing request containing the identification information of the receiving apparatus, and
• if the receiving apparatus has received a pairing request response containing identification information of the remote controller within the limited time from the remote controller that has received the pairing request, the receiving apparatus stores the identification information of the remote controller as the identification information of the other pairing party to the second storage section.
