Remote controlled computer system and management method having an identification number

A method of storing an identification number of a remote controller, stored in a memory of said remote controller, in a memory of a remote control signal receiver in a computer system, comprising the steps of:

• executing an identification number recognition mode in said computer system;
• determining whether a remote control signal is received from said remote controller;
• analyzing said identification number of said remote controller included in said remote control signal when said remote control signal is received from said remote controller;
• determining whether an existing identification number is stored in said memory of said remote control signal receiver;
• and
• deleting said existing identification number from said memory of said remote control signal receiver when said existing identification number is stored in said memory of said remote control signal receiver, and then storing said identification number of said remote controller in said memory of said remote control signal receiver, and, alternatively, storing said identification number of said remote controller in said memory of said remote control signal receiver when said existing identification number is not stored in said memory of said remote control signal receiver.

A method for remote control of a computer system in response to a remote control signal from a remote controller, comprising the steps of:

• checking a signal receiving state of a remote control signal receiver of said computer system, and then determining whether said remote control signal is received from said remote controller;
• determining whether an identification number of said remote controller included in said received remote control signal is identical to an identification number stored in said remote control signal receiver when said remote control signal is received from said remote controller;
• and
• performing a function corresponding to said received remote control signal when said identification number of said remote controller included in said received remote control signal is identical to said identification number stored in said remote control signal receiver;
• wherein said remote control signal alternatively includes a first command generated by a first command key of said remote controller and a second command generated by a second command key of said remote controller;
• and
• wherein said performing step comprises performing an automatic log on of an operating system of said computer system when said first command is generated, and performing a program corresponding to said second command after automatic log on of said operating system of said computer when said second command is generated.

A computer system, comprising:

• a computer;
• a remote controller for storing an identification number of said remote controller, and for generating a remote control signal including said identification number of said remote controller and a command code for remote control of said computer system;
• a remote control signal receiver connected to said computer and receiving said remote control signal from said remote controller, said remote control signal receiver storing a reference identification number;
• and
• program performing means for performing an automatic log on of an operating system of said computer, and for automatically performing an appointed program according to said remote control signal of said remote controller, when said identification number of said remote controller is identical to said reference identification number stored by said remote control signal receiver;
• wherein a power state of said computer system is one of a system off state, a normal state, and a stand-by state;
• and
• wherein a function corresponding to said remote control signal is executed according to said power state of said computer system, said remote control signal not having a power turn-off function, whereby to prevent data loss caused by a shutdown of an operation of said computer when said remote controller mistakenly inputs information.

A method for remote control of a computer system in response to a remote control signal from a remote controller, comprising the steps of:

• checking a signal receiving state of a remote control signal receiver of said computer system, and then determining whether said remote control signal is received from said remote controller;
• determining whether an identification number of said remote controller included in said received remote control signal is identical to an identification number stored in said remote control signal receiver when said remote control signal is received from said remote controller;
• and
• performing a function corresponding to said received remote control signal according to a power state of said computer system when said identification number of said remote controller included in said received remote control signal is identical to said identification number stored in said remote control signal receiver, said power state of said computer system being one of a system off state, a normal state, and a stand-by state;
• said function corresponding to said remote control signal being performed according to said power state of said computer system, and said remote control signal not having a power turn-off function, whereby to prevent data loss caused by a shutdown of an operation of said computer system when said remote controller mistakenly inputs information.
