Wireless control system

A pairing method of a wireless control system including a plurality of controlled apparatuses and a wireless controlling apparatus that controls the plurality of controlled apparatuses via a wireless communication path,

• wherein a first controlled apparatus of the plurality of controlled apparatuses has first recognition information which is recognition information used by a communication apparatus different from the first controlled apparatus to uniquely recognize the first controlled apparatus, and
• a second controlled apparatus of the plurality of controlled apparatuses that is different from the first controlled apparatus has second recognition information which is recognition information used by a communication apparatus different from the second controlled apparatus to uniquely recognize the second controlled apparatus,
• said pairing method comprising:
• obtaining, by the first controlled apparatus, the second recognition information from the second controlled apparatus when the first controlled apparatus and the wireless controlling apparatus are connected to each other according to the first recognition information, in a case where a wired connection of the second controlled apparatus is detected;
• outputting, by the first controlled apparatus, the second recognition information to the wireless controlling apparatus;
• and
• enabling, by the wireless controlling apparatus, communication with the second controlled apparatus recognized via the wireless communication path, according to the second recognition information outputted from the first controlled apparatus.

A wireless control system comprising:

• a controlled apparatus;
• and
• a wireless controlling apparatus that controls said controlled apparatus via a wireless communication path,
• wherein one of said controlled apparatus and said wireless controlling apparatus obtains recognition information for uniquely recognizing an other one of said controlled apparatus and said wireless controlling apparatus, via a communication path different from the wireless communication path connecting said apparatus and said other apparatus,
• when said other apparatus which can be identified by the obtained recognition information is present in a plurality of connected apparatuses recognized via the wireless communication path, said apparatus is set to communicate with said other apparatus according to the recognition information, and
• said controlled apparatus comprises:
• a first controlled apparatus;
• and
• a second controlled apparatus,
• wherein said first controlled apparatus has first recognition information which is recognition information used by a communication apparatus different from said first controlled apparatus to uniquely recognize said first controlled apparatus,
• said second controlled apparatus has second recognition information which is recognition information used by a communication apparatus different from said second controlled apparatus to uniquely recognize said second controlled apparatus,
• one of said first controlled apparatus and said second controlled apparatus controls such that said first controlled apparatus holds the second recognition information when said first controlled apparatus and said second controlled apparatus are connected to each other, in a case where said wireless controlling apparatus is able to communicate with said first controlled apparatus according to the first recognition information,
• said first controlled apparatus outputs the second recognition information to said wireless controlling apparatus,
• said wireless controlling apparatus enables communication with said second controlled apparatus recognized via the wireless communication path, according to the second recognition information outputted from said first controlled apparatus, and
• the different communication path includes a communication path between said first controlled apparatus and said second controlled apparatus and a communication path between said first controlled apparatus and said wireless controlling apparatus.
