Electronic apparatus operating device, recording medium, and electronic apparatus

Abstract

The present invention aims to share such a unit for controllably operating a wide variety of electronic apparatuses to be uniformly compatible with each of them. Concretely, such data pictures comprising picture data and relevant data as a single dealing unit are utilized. Data pictures are individually displayed on a display unit of the inventive operating device to enable user to specify ( 305 ) any of them. When a certain data picture has been specified by user's operation, a relevant data is extracted ( 307 ) from the specified data picture, and then, based on the extracted relevant data, a controlling data is transmitted.

1 - 11 . (canceled)  
   
   
       12 . an electronic apparatus operating device comprising: 
 a function to display at least one of picture data contained in a data picture comprising as a single dealing unit a picture data and a relevant data constituting a basis for causing a predetermined operation when there is a command for operation;    a function to specify picture data displayed via operation;    a function to extract a relevant data from said specified data picture and outputs a controlling data based on said extracted relevant data; and    a function to record data for specifying a specific location at which the relevant data should be displayed.    
   
   
       13 . An electronic apparatus operating device comprising: 
 a display device which displays at least one of picture data contained in a data picture comprising a picture data and a relevant data as a single dealing unit;    a specific operation executing device which specifies said picture data displayed on said display device via operation;    a relevant-data extractor which extracts a relevant data from a data picture;    an interface device which, based on said extracted data, outputs a controlling data to another electronic apparatus; and    an aligned-data recorder which records data for specifying a specific location of the display device at which the relevant data should be displayed.    
   
   
       14 . The electronic apparatus operating device according to  claim 13 , wherein 
 said interface device outputs said controlling data via a wireless transmission means.    
   
   
       15 . The electronic apparatus operating device according to  claim 13 , wherein 
 said data picture is acquired from an externally inserted recording medium.    
   
   
       16 . The electronic apparatus operating device according to  claim 13 , further comprising: 
 a data-picture recorder which records said data picture; and    a recording-medium interface device which initially reads a data picture recorded from a controlling-objective electronic apparatus and then records said recorded data in said data-picture recorder.    
   
   
       17 . The electronic apparatus operating device according to  claim 16 , further comprising: 
 a registration initiating operational device which receives an instruction to activate operation for initiating registration; and    a recording-medium interface device which reads a recorded data picture from a controlling-objective electronic apparatus when said registration initiating operational device receives an instruction to initiate registration and then records said data picture in said data-picture recorder.    
   
   
       18 . The electronic apparatus operating device according to  claim 13 , wherein 
 said display device displays data pictures by way of integrating said data pictures into groups per electronic apparatus to be subject to controlling operation.    
   
   
       19 . A recording medium which delivers said data pictures to the electronic apparatus operating device according to  claim 15 .  
   
   
       20 . An electronic apparatus which delivers said data pictures to the electronic apparatus operating device according to  claim 16 .  
   
   
       21 . An electronic apparatus comprising: 
 a display device which displays at least one of picture data contained in a data picture comprising as a single dealing unit a picture data and a relevant data constituting a basis for causing a predetermined operation when there is a command for operation;    a specific-operation executing device which specifies said picture data displayed on said display device via operation;    a relevant-data extractor which extracts a relevant data from data pictures;    an interface device which outputs a controlling data based on said relevant data extracted by said specific operation executing device; and    an aligned-data recorder which records data for specifying a specific location of the display device at which the relevant data should be displayed.
