摘要

The engine control apparatus (20) has a receiver (22) that is provided for receiving a movement signal, and for reproducing a movement of a portable operation unit (30). A coupling device (25) is provided for virtual coupling of movement of mechanical component (11) with a movement of the portable operation unit, based on the movement signal received from the receiver. A translation device (23) is provided for translating the movement amount (50) of portable operation unit into a movement amount (51) of the mechanical component. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) keypad control unit for portable operation unit and for controlling machine; and (2) a method for controlling movement of machine.
