PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a remote control code filtering technology suitable for use in a remote control code relay system. SOLUTION: A portion of a received remote control code is compared with a corresponding portion of a stored remote control code. The received remote control code is filtered based on the comparison. Filtering includes outputting the received remote control code or a portion thereof, discarding the received remote control code, or adding a new remote control code to the stored remote control code. The remote control code is received from a network or a hardware interface (such as that which converts an electromagnetic remote control signal into a remote control code). The received remote control code is outputted to the network or the hardware interface for subsequent transmission of an electromagnetic remote control signal. Filtering may be performed before or after the network. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
