Abstract
Provided are a control device, a control method and a control system. In a control system, a headphone and a pedal device are in communication with each other through first communication, and the pedal device and a portable terminal are in communication with each other through second communication. Accordingly, even when the headphone can be connected to only one control device, a control instruction from the pedal device can be transmitted to the headphone through the first communication, and a control instruction from the portable terminal can be transmitted to the headphone through the second communication and the first communication.
