Abstract
From a remote control device, a pairing command including an authentication key is transmitted to a slave device by an infrared ray remote control signal by first depression of a push button. The slave device transmits an authentication key, which is generated based on the received authentication key, through a wireless LAN. By second depression of the push button, the remote control device transmits a pairing command, which includes an authentication key, to a master device by an infrared ray remote control signal. The master device compares the authentication key, which is received through the wireless LAN, and the authentication key, which is received by the infrared ray remote control signal, with each other, and transmits a pairing authorization to the slave device through the wireless LAN if both of the authentication keys coincide with each other. The slave device receives the pairing authorization, and establishes pairing.
