## Abstract

The invention provides a method of controlling a remote device via a mobile device, and provides corresponding control unit and mobile device. The method includes: displaying a control page of a number of controllers on the touch screen while the mobile device switching from hibernate state to working state, and the interface of control page is in front of the lock screen of the touch screen mobile device; and sending a corresponding control command to a remote device according to the control mode of the controller, while a user simulating the operation of one of the controllers. By implementing the invention, when a mobile device switches from hibernate state to working state, a control page of a number of controllers is displayed in the touch screen and above the lock screen. As such, the user can directly simulate the controllers to control the remote device. The user does not need to unlock the mobile device, therefore, the user's real time needs are meet.
