Abstract
The present invention aims to share such a unit for controllably operating a wide variety of electronic apparatuses to be uniformly compatible with each of them. Concretely, such data pictures comprising picture data and relevant data as a single dealing unit are utilized. Data pictures are individually displayed on a display unit of the inventive operating device to enable user to specify (305) any of them. When a certain data picture has been specified by user's operation, a relevant data is extracted (307) from the specified data picture, and then, based on the extracted relevant data, a controlling data is transmitted.
Claims8
An electronic apparatus operating device comprising:
- a display device which displays at least one of picture data contained in a data picture comprising a picture data and a relevant data as a single dealing unit;
- a specific operation executing device which specifies said picture data displayed on said display device via operation;
- a relevant-data extractor which extracts a relevant data from a data picture;
- an interface device which, based on said extracted data, outputs a controlling data to another electronic apparatus;
- a data picture recorder which records said data picture;
- and
- a recording-medium interface device which initially reads a recorded data from an independent recording medium and then records said recorded data in said data-picture recorder.
