Abstract
An apparatus for managing the control of an electrical device controllable by infrared control signals (IR_Cmd) from an infrared remote control. The apparatus is placed opposite an infrared receiver module of the electric device so as to receive on the infrared receiver any infrared control signal (IR_Cmd) from the remote control and to prevent any infrared control signal (IR_Cmd) from the remote control from directly reacting the infrared receiver module. A controller controls the transmission to the electrical device, via the infrared emitter, of infrared control signals generated from infrared control signals (IR_Cmd) received by the infrared receiver or control signals received by the interface module, in accordance with a set of compatibility and/or priority rules relating to the execution of the received control signals.
