Control system for video device and video device

2:

• A control system for a video device comprising:
• a mobile terminal which includes at least one terminal-side detector and a terminal-side communication unit to send terminal-side detector information pertaining to the terminal-side detector and a terminal-side detection signal detected by the terminal-side detector at a time of a specified control action;
• and
• a video device which includes a control unit and a device-side communication unit to receive the terminal-side detector information and the terminal-side detection signal from the mobile terminal;
• wherein
• the control unit of the video device is constituted and programmed to recognize the terminal-side detector from the terminal-side detector information and also perform actuation control corresponding to a specified control action on the video device based on the terminal-side detection signal of the recognized terminal-side detector.

3:

• The control system for a video device according to claim 2, wherein
• the terminal-side detector is provided to satisfy specified functions when the mobile terminal is used alone;
• and
• the control unit of the video device is constituted and programmed to adapt the terminal-side detector that is used to satisfy the specified functions of the mobile terminal for the actuation control corresponding to the specified control action on the video device.

4:

• The control system for a video device according to claim 3, wherein
• the mobile terminal includes, as the terminal-side detector to satisfy the specified functions of the mobile terminal, at least one of an image-capture unit that captures images, a gyro sensor that detects an attitude of the mobile terminal, and a microphone enabling conducting of conversations;
• and
• the control unit of the video device is constituted and programmed to use at least one of the image-capture unit, the gyro sensor, and the microphone of the mobile terminal to perform actuation control corresponding to the specified control action on the video device.

5:

• The control system for a video device according to claim 2, wherein
• the mobile terminal includes a plurality of the terminal-side detectors;
• and
• the control unit of the video device is constituted and programmed to recognize terminal-side detectors required for the control of the video device from among the plurality of terminal-side detectors based on the terminal-side detector information and also to exert control to have the device-side communication unit send a signal which causes the terminal-side communication unit to send the terminal-side detection signals of those of the terminal-side detectors required for the control of the video device but causes the terminal-side communication unit not to send the terminal-side detection signals of those of the terminal-side detectors not required for the control of the video device.

7:

• The control system for a video device according to claim 2, wherein
• the mobile terminal includes a plurality of the terminal-side detectors;
• and
• the terminal-side detector information pertaining to the plurality of terminal-side detectors includes information in a form of a list of the plurality of terminal-side detectors.

8:

• The control system for a video device according to claim 2, wherein
• the video device further comprises at least one device-side detector;
• and
• the control unit of the video device is constituted and programmed to create integrated detector information by integrating device-side detector information pertaining to the device-side detector and the terminal-side detector information, recognize the device-side detector and at least one of the terminal-side detectors from the integrated detector information thus created, and perform actuation control corresponding to the specified control action on the video device based on a device-side detection signal detected by at least one of the recognized device-side detector and the terminal-side detection signals of the recognized terminal-side detector.

11:

• The control system for a video device according to claim 8, wherein
• the video device further comprises a recording unit that records the integrated detector information;
• and
• the control unit of the video device is constituted so as to be able to maintain the created integrated detector information without deleting it from the recording unit when the video device and the mobile terminal are disconnected.

12:

• A video device which can be controlled by a mobile terminal, comprising:
• a device-side communication unit that receives, from the mobile terminal, terminal-side detector information pertaining to at least one terminal-side detector included in the mobile terminal and terminal-side detection signals detected by the terminal-side detector at a time of a specified control action on the video device;
• and
• a control unit programmed to recognize the terminal-side detector from the terminal-side detector information and to perform actuation control corresponding to the specified control action on the video device based on the terminal-side detection signals of the recognized terminal-side detector.
