Abstract
Upon receipt of an IR code from a remote controller, a peripheral device control apparatus generates, on the basis of peripheral device control information acquired from a server, a code for causing a peripheral device, which is an object of remote control by the control apparatus, to perform an operation as instructed by the received IR code, and then the control apparatus outputs the generated code as an IR code via an infrared ray generation section. In this way, the peripheral device control apparatus can readily control any one of a plurality of types of peripheral devices, in response to a user just giving an operation signal to a single input section.
