Abstract

In a method of controlling a smart television (TV), one or more portable electronic device are authenticated to control the smart TV. When more than one authenticated portable electronic devices send a power-on signal to the smart TV, a normal mode is executed. When only one authenticated portable electronic device sends a power-on signal to the smart TV, a personal mode can be executed. The personal mode comprises a favorite program list, which records names of one or more programs, and a favorite channel list, which records one or more channels and times of broadcasting programs of the channels. Then, the smart TV is controlled according to commands sent by the one or more authenticated portable electronic devices.
