A remote-control system includes a remote controller which transmits the command signal corresponding to an operation performed by a user, and an information-processing device which receives the command signal and performs the processing corresponding to the command signal. The remote controller includes a sensing unit that has the sensing areas corresponding to areas provided on a screen showing an image of a video signal transmitted from the information-processing device on a one-to-one basis and that senses at least one of a touch operation and a press-down operation performed by a user for the sensing area, a generation unit that generates the command signal according to the sensing result, and a transmission unit that transmits the command signal. The information-processing device includes a reception unit that receives the command signal, and a processing unit that performs the processing corresponding to the command signal.

Remote-control system, remote controller, remote-control method, information-processing device, information-processing method, and program

A remote control apparatus and an image display apparatus for example, a television receiver and a remote commander for remote controlling the television receiver in which for example, a version-up of a control program can be easily executed. The remote control apparatus can be constructed so that an IC card can be loaded and data recorded in the IC card is transmitted to control-target equipment.

Remote control apparatus and image display apparatus

A monitor device capable of setting and adjusting various function items with an operation system having fewer number of keys and fitting an operation sense of a user. The movement of the cursor, and the change of the sound volume display and all kinds of adjustment values in a submenu can be performed with a tablet key which can be pressed and slide-operated with the result that almost all of the setting and adjustment on all kinds of functions of the monitor device can be performed with fewer required than keys of the conventional operation system.
